another day

holidays...

2006-05-13T07:29:00.000-07:00

hi guys! it's been ANOTHER long time. i will try to update my blog as often as i can since it's my holidays nw and i m quite free on the whole.

My exams finally ended on the 10th of May(Thank Godness...). The papers were generally quite ok except for marketing(which i didn't have time to study for) and econs( which was supposed to be a easy paper but turned out a lot harder than expected). During the whole two weeks of exams, i really wanna thank all my frens who were there to hear me whine esp zhi mei who hafta handle a whole lot of my crap=p Also wanna thank dear who put up with my mood swings and temperaments during the last two weeks of my exams.

I went out with dear both today and yesterday. Yesterday wanna watch M.I. III one. some of my frens who caught it said it was a good show but the cinema was so crowded yesterday that we decided nt to watch it as only the first to fourth row of seats were available. As such, we went to Kenny Rogers for dinner since we figured out we can spend the money for the movie on something slightly more expensive=p Kenny Rogers is actually having a promotion nw. the Lucille set which is inclusive of two drinks only costs 32.50(I think) and the serving is quite big. i didn't finish my food as usual after which we went to the esplanade. i actually wanted to go to bugis to get a manicure but decided against it after evaluating my financial circumstances which sadly as things are, already requires a lot of self discipline on my part to tide me through the month.

after reaching home, i actually downloaded and played diner dash until four in the morning. i wanted to finish the whole game but dozed off around four. so i switched off the com and called it a day. juz as i was flipping through my cleo mag, my student pass which i was looking so hard for two days before actually fell out! i totally have no idea y it was caught between the pages of my cleo mag and all the while i was searching for it between my stacks of econs and accounting notes...

haizz... looking on the bright side, at least i dun hafta call up SIM to report and get it replaced. its gonna cost me a lot of inconvenience since i already kinda found myself a job that lasts for one to two weeks. it's actually telemarketing with basic pay so it's not so bad. the prob is, i would really prefer an admin job dat dun make it compulsory for me to tok to strangers. i m an introvert even if no one believes i m one. so guys, if u have ani job lobangs for admin stuff, rem to msg or give me a call=p

haha... enough advertising i guess. i think i m going to slp early nw. so tired for the whole day today. haven't been resting well since my accounting paper... take care guys! ciao!

entry with a difference

2006-02-20T10:10:00.000-08:00

hi guys, this entry is gonna be veri different. i guess the big difference here will be the purpose of me blogging this entry out in the wee hrs of the nite.

frankly speaking, i believe myself to be a moderately nice person. i do admit that i m wilful, stubborn and immatured but i m definitely not an aggressive person unless i m provoked.

N today happens to be the day on which some freaking idiot juz imposed his views on me all of which he disguised as advice. i m a fairly open-minded person. i believe that everyone is subjected to his or her views coz as humans we have a mind of our own but i despise people who always think they are right and impose their views on others. it's different if u SHARE ur views coz by SHARING ur views, you are actually dispensing advice and respecting the other party.

But by insisting that ur views are right n u dun even noe the whole story, you have proven urself to be ignorant and u dare me to face the fact that i m stubborn? if i m stubborn, which i admit i m, wat r u?

get a life. grow up.

update...

2006-02-05T22:58:00.000-08:00

sch has started for quite some time nw. the modules this sem is harder than those last sem but still manageble if i put in enough effort considering the fact that i m nt exactly the smartest person i noe.

time really flies. it's feb nw and this could well be the month that's gonna kill me coz i have five frens whose bday falls on this month plus one valentine's day. i have already gotten two gifts so far, one of which is for my dear... i got him something really special this yr and i think he really likes it based on the fact that it's nt something he thinks i will ever give him for a gift=p

hmmm.... juz woke up nw... so dun really noe wat else to blog. still feeling a bit drowsy here and there. i really think i toked too much on the phone recently. i gt to noe this guy called darryl frm my lecture grp and he's really someone interesting to tok to and share things with. i also had a chat with huiping last nite so huiping if u r reading this entry, i hope u wld have simmered down by nw. it's nt worth your time to be angry over such stuff. juz give her some time to think abt whether she has over reacted. if she cares abt the frenship, she will eventually call u=)

i guess dat's all for this entry... gotta study for acct nw... bye!

morning lect..

2006-01-13T06:26:00.000-08:00

haizz.. had morning lectures today again... seriously speaking, i really hate morning lessons due to the weather and the jams. the truth is, i have nv been early since sch restarted due to the jams, the rainy weather as well as the fact that i always lazed in bed after the alarm rang for fifteen minutes.

so as usual, i was waiting for bus at the bus stop ard 9:10 when i saw huiping. i was quite shocked when i saw her coz she looked really tired. we started toking and i started complaining abt the fact that i was late when she told me dat she was late too and dat she was in a way even worse off than me coz her lessons start at nine whereas my lessons start at nine thirty and that i mite still be able to make it if there were no jams(which i think is impossible). we talked for a while and suggested taking a cab but no cabs came(they were either hired or on call) so we took a bus in the end.

i was abt ten min late when i reached sch but guess wat? i actually saw zhi mei in the lift lobby! i was quite surprised coz she was always punctual=p aniway, lesson today was veri boring. i have no idea what the Australian lady was toking abt and i forgot my notes. she really seems like a pretty nice lady but i guess we really gt on her nerves today coz quite a number of ppl were late(some even came in later than me) and others didn't get their textbooks.

well.. it's all over nw. i have commercial law lesson tml morning. gotta sleep... really hope to reach sch on time tml=p

2006

2006-01-08T02:02:00.000-08:00

hi guys! i know i know. i haven't updated in a looooong time. And kim, i wanted to blog abt the sushi buffet but the pt is i was so bloated after the whole thing dat i slept immediately after i reached home.

hmmm.... like i have said, it's been a long time since i blogged so i really dunno where to start. maybe i shld start with my new yr resolutions. this yr, i have made three of them(i made it three so dat it's easier to rem. it's embarrassing when others ask u abt hw many new yr resolutions u have made and u look at them blankly while trying to rem.)
1) Go to church(and i really mean it). my attendance at church has really been veri irregular. hope to improve it this yr.

2)Adopt a healthier lifestyle. i guess this means more slp, more fruits and veges, less games, less msn, less junk food, less tv and (hopefully) less homewrk too.

3)Spend less. Out of my three new yr resolution, this is the resolution i hate most coz to me this resolution acts almost like a ban to all my shopping trips and buffets.

dat's all for my new yr resolutions. life for me has been pretty ok. i m so glad to be returning to sch again. it's not dat i dislike wrk at informatics but somehw, sch is so much better(c zhimei? i wasn't really kidding when i told u that i luv sch)

i guess that's all for today. i can't think of anithing else to write. it's either i keep it short(like wat i m doing nw) or write one whole huge paragraph that i feel will be quite taxing on the eyes. bye guys. will continue to update and this time i mean it=p

lerthargy

2005-11-27T05:33:00.000-08:00

it has been another tiring week. maybe it's juz dat i haven't rested enough after the exams but i feel really tired recently. i juz went out with zhi mei to plaza singapura as we were supposed to buy a birthday present for a fren of ours. hmmm... seriously, i m rather reluctant to buy it for her coz she actually requests for her bday present which is a thumbdrive. there's nothing wrong here but dun ur guys think it's weird if one day u have a fren dat says something like "since i cannot meet up with ur for my bday and ur can't treat me to a meal, y dun ur save up the money and buy me a thumbdrive?"

haizz... so in the end, me and zhi mei juz loiter ard plaza singapura. i mean for me when ppl put their request so blantantly forward, i feel that she is actually in a way "forcing" me to buy it for her. as such, i feel no motivation to make my way towards singapore expo which i think is pretty far too. of coz, there's also this guy(who shall remain nameless) who kinda spoilt my mood for a moment. he was the one who suggested we get it for her today at the IT fair and guess wat he said when i called him? he was like "sori lahz, i got something on. y dun u call yumin?" so i told him that yumin's (another fren of mine) hp was switched off and he was like "y dun u be patient? i m sure she will switch it on again." i nearly hit the roof when i heard that answer. it's so "DUH!" and so not the answer u shld give to a ger over the phone when she's PMSing.

so in the end, i refrain frm flaring up, politely thank him while hanging up b4 he can actually say bye(it's like wat the @$%^&@#^&***). he actually dropped by the IT fair yesterday. can't he juz buy it? N do i look like the type that is technology smart? i noe it doesn't take a genius to buy a thumbdrive but it took me more than 15 min to extract a ZIP file the previous time someone sent it to me and he wants me to buy a thumbdrive ALONE? i wouldn't mind if it was a jacket, top, skirt, makeup or stuff like dat. but a thumdrive? u gotta be kidding me lohz. i still have problems differentiating between megabytes and gigabytes and the oni brand that i wld prob buy is creative coz it is the oni brand that i noe of.

aniway, we walked around the shops for a while more. there's this new shop called the face shop. the lip gloss and makeup there are quite colourful and moderately priced... really can't wait for my pay to come...=p

haizz... dear is going to POP soon but dun think i m going for it since only two person is allowed to go and he said that it's quite hard to take a bus back frm tekong. with the memory of the stupid ferry ride still fresh in my mind, i m not exactly excited about making a trip back to tekong again...

dat's all for this entry... i think i m slping soon... simply too tired to keep on writing... nitez guys=)

work

2005-11-14T06:52:00.000-08:00

hi guys! Exams are over and i have finally found work... i wonder if that's something to be happy abt coz work can be rather sian... all i ever seem to do is filing(correction: dat's all i m doing actually.) i juz hope to earn lots and lots and lots of money for this month! so anione got lobang still can intro me. i m still free on Sunday. Maybe i can call up the two agencies and ask whether they have gt job lobangs dat pays well so dat i can earn more=p

Life has been pretty tiring... i guessed most of my frens who wanted to find jobs have found something to do. All the best for tml Zhi mei=)

Hmmm... lemme see... the weekend has been quite tiring for me... due to my insistence to play pool, dear and i checked out a few places after dinner and all of them were crowded. Both of us were more lethargic than usual due to a heavy dinner(he insisted that he didn't have a decent meal for a week due to his field camp so we went for a buffet. it was HIS idea this time round juz in case u guys think i made him splurge on a buffet again.) i guess tempers flare when ppl are lerthargic esp for him. I tot him a tad unreasonable at one pt when we were toking. He sounded so.... hmmmm... how shld i put it... possessive? which is so unlike him...

aniway... we ended up in starbucks at plaza sing with a cleo magazine and everything was alrite again( alrite as in he didn't continue to have dat"u made me walk all over the place so that u can play pool with ur fren" face). so we chatted and read a bit while enjoying our coffee b4 he sent me home...

it was already twelve when i reached home... i lazed in front of the com a little while dozing off when i tot i saw jerome online. i think i did ask him to wake me up but think he forgot already=p haha... aniway, i managed to wake up all by myself this week without anione calling me! i made it to church on time. called dear up when preparing for church coz i was having a mini dilemma abt whether to go or not and dear as usual, in his half awake voice(coz it was nine) said "go lahz since u r awake. it isn't everyday(or weekend) that u can wake urself up at nine."

it sounded logical to me so i went for church... but guess wat? halfway through the sermon, i actually fell aslp. i really didn't mean to fall aslp. i juz closed my eyes a little and before i knew it, i heard a voice saying something like "janet, u are slping ah?" or something along those lines. i really got a scare of my life coz it reminds me of the time when i was caught slping in class during jc days... it turns out to be jerome's fren yicheng... it was pretty embarrassing coz i haven't been to his church for long and i m not exactly close to him. for a moment i was tempted to tell him dat i was praying when he interrupted me but i dun think anione will buy this excuse=p

after which went out with yumin to buy office clothes... managed to get some cheap ones... then stopped at four leaves for a bite as well as a chat. i guess i can be too forthright when i speak at times. being forthrite is gd i guess but sometimes i think i shld spare a tot for the feelings of others b4 i speak(or criticize) even if wat i said is true=p haha... guess oni yumin and maybe zhi mei mite noe who i m toking abt=p

guess dat's all for my blog... going to slp nw... wrk can be really dreadful=(

last day

2005-11-07T18:53:00.000-08:00

haiz... am feeling kinda nervous nw... ya... today is my last paper already and guess wat? it's OB. OB actually stands for organizational behavior and it's quite a fun subject to learn but when it comes to essay writing in exams with references included and with only four days to study eighteen chapters plus scout for references, it takes all the fun out of it.

Stress level hit a high on sat and sun but took a dip yesterday. i guess i was pretty passive. The morning OB lesson was veri draggy and i almost fell aslp. After the lesson ended, i went for lunch with zhi mei, leonardo, joe and this other guy whom i dun even noe his name... as usual, the comments that joe make such as "novels are crap" didn't really appeal to me and it really surprised me that he thinks the chainsaw massacre is cool. i mean it's all blood and gore lohz. wat's so cool abt it? ya... aniway, i continued studying after calling him a sadist to which i dun think he was happy abt and left quite early as i couldn't really study there as it was a tad too noisy for me.

haizz.. i m kinda anticipating my last paper and yet scared of it... it's really mixed feelings... hope to have blessings for this paper...

the wait

2005-11-01T07:33:00.000-08:00

hi guys! i m feeling so tired nw! the exams are practically killing all my brain cells esp since the next paper is accounting. the calculations are stil quite manageable if u study but the theory is totally -_-".. i did one past year paper that was full of theory questions that i have to refer to the answer sheet for every question. the worst part is i still dun understand wat the answer is toking abt after referring to it. dat really killed my morale...

dear finally booked out today. we had kinda a little disagreement over msn last nite. ask him to call but he nv call... i always get a bit edgy if i dun c him for two weeks i guess so will get a bit unreasonable and susceptible to tantrums. this is especially true since my exams is juz around the corner. haiz... i think either he got used to it by nw or he is especially nice since he oni c me once every two weeks nw so the small tiff didn't escalate to anithing big.

as i was feeling a bit guilty abt my behavior, i was veri nice today. i went to get movie tickets for us and studied while waiting for him at starbucks. the movie was quite nice and the coffee kept me awake during the movie but after i reached home, i was really in no mood to study but managed to finish a few papers while listening to the radio... haha.... my balance sheet finally balanced juz nw! YES!

hmmm... guess dat's all for today... b4 i go, i wld like to say this... dear... i noe it's hard for u to have days in which u can book out but i really can't spend the whole of today with u... but not to wry, my exams will be over next week! last but not lest... i really miz u... looking forward to seeing u next week....

Wednesday... God, forgive me

2005-10-27T04:40:00.000-07:00

it's been an extremely tiring day today. i went for my stats paper which was quite ok as compared to business computing. I sat down there and wrote some crap for three hours then hand in the paper.

After that, i decided i have to do something for my organizational behavior paper so i went to the library to look for quotes but ended up sleeping in the library. when i finally woke up, it was already evening, so i flip through some magazines and photocopy some pages with my cashcard which has oni fourty-five cents in it then went home and ended up watching TV.

The bad news is when i opened up the book juz nw, i realized that there were like ten chapters to study! and i haven't even started on one yet... the quite gd news is a lot of ppl also tell me they haven't started yet=p so ok lahz.... maybe today study a bit lohz.

haizz... when it comes down to it, i wonder who was the one who told me RMIT veri slack one. i chose RMIT and not UOL coz i think a lot of ppl tell me dun need to study can pass one then turn out like dat. Sianzzz....

But i guess one shld always try his or her best. with accounting in a week's time and OB in a week and four days time, i really wonder hw i can "write something relevant" for accounting and crap out ten pages for two OB questions. dat's y i have adopted a new slogan "With God, anything is possible". call me practical, but i think i m most religious during the exam period...

hi guys

2005-10-26T07:51:00.000-07:00

hi guys! it's been a really long time since i last updated. Life has been pretty busy for me and i will really take ur advice seriously veron. the prob is u noe i dun noe hw to change my blogskin rite? maybe u can "volunteer" to help after my exams since i m giving u such a big hint nw=p

Life is still the same except that it's the long dreaded exam period. yest juz had my stupid BC paper. It was so hard. the first qnes was wat is a knowledge economy and my first reaction was "kao, since when did he teach ah?" the second qnes was no better. wat was worse was that exams held by SIM is quite "cute" as in they give u 15 min to read through ur paper which makes u wonder y they oni allow u to read but not write.

In the end, i guessed we all crap some ans out(i mean the exam is three hours. so even if u got nothing to write at first, u will def have something to write at the end of the three hours.) i even have got fifteen min left after i wrote something for every qnes.

i guess that's all for today. i m feeling really tired nw. guess i will go to slp. ~nitez~

2005-09-10T05:57:00.000-07:00

hi everyone! it seems as if i haven't blogged in ages. kk... the truth is, i haven't blogged in ages and it's already September nw.

well, the thing is, i have been quite busy lately and am going through some difficult times. sometimes i think it's quite hard to be a ger. as a ger, ur emotions are subjected to ups and downs more easily than if u were a guy.

to start things with, i kinda had a quarrel with jin on Monday. it was actually over a veri small matter n sad to say, i cannot really term it as a quarrel coz i was the one doing all the finger pointing while he stayed surprisingly quiet. due to this "quarrel", we nearly ended our eight months together coz i tot he didn't care abt me animore and dat i will be better off w/o him.

but after he explained, i realized i have been insensitive about his feelings too and that even though he is not exactly Mr Sensitive, he's trying his best and he has always been quite nice to me.

haizz.... juz went to Pulau Tekong to send him off for his BMT today. saw his mum and sis. his mum is quite ok as in she is not as "fierce" as i imagined her to be. his sis seems nice too. toked quite a bit to his sis. i think that even thought the BMT training centre dun look appealing to me at all, the facilities they have inside is considerably good. so there i was, being nice, polite and trying my best to make small tok for six hours coz his mum was there. the part i hate most was the ferry ride. it really makes me feel nauseous and in order to avoid embarrasing myself, i didn't eat anithing for eight hours so dat i won't puke on the ride home.

it took me one whole hour to come home frm there and here i m, blogging. haizz... suddenly feel a bit empty inside. it's like i have been spending so much time with him all these while, i feel dat my life has suddenly lost it's focus once he's inside Tekong. guess i will have to be more independent nw. haizz... to start off with, maybe i shld have been less dependent rite frm the start. my dependence has reached the point whereby i will call him up when he's wrking over as small a matter as a spoilt calculator. silly rite?

well, dat's all for today. gotta slp early coz i woke up early today... hope my OB essay turns up well tml coz the deadline is on Monday...

2005-08-17T23:23:00.000-07:00

it has been pretty rainy these few days.... kinda like the weather. it's the weather dat's most suitable for sleeping. maybe dat's y i keep falling aslp when doing my accounting. finally "finished" my accounting today. of coz i can do more if i want but i think there's no need to not b coz i m such an expert at it but b coz doing it really makes me depressed. the more i do, the more inadequate i feel n being the kinda person that i m, i will rather feel inadequate another day=p

well, these past few days has been veri peaceful except for a small misunderstanding. i think someone misunderstood me liao. haizz.... dunno hw to say also. maybe it's juz the character. but i think it will juz pass. in the meantime, i juz hate the feeling of being misunderstood.

i think i gotta go shower nw. still gotta go for project discussion. it's anther 2300 wrds essay this time and i have the feeling that this project will call for at least another four to five trips to the national library. i dun have anithing against the national library but it's plain boring to do research there during ur off days...

k... think i m ending here... buaiz...

new entry

2005-08-16T09:19:00.000-07:00

hi there. nothing to write. juz wanna update oni.

Finally handed in my dumb, stupid, idiotic etc etc etc OB essay. i tried my best liao.... Hope to do well or at least pass lohz... in the meantime, life still goes on...

at this pt in time, i wouldn't say that i m really satisfied with my life. but i feel dat i have become more independent liao. of coz i still whine and stuff but when it comes down to certain things, i will think and consider before doing it. sometimes, this makes me feel like a hypocrite. but life has to go on. i guess i shld say that as one began making more and more decisions, he or she become more adept at making it. it's not a matter of whether one is hypocritical or not but whether one can make the rite decisions w/o offending anione n saving all the trouble of having to explain n stuff.

as such, i have composed the ten golden lessons that i have learnt this yr. Hopes it helps ur in coping with ur life:p

1) U hafta be mean to ppl in order to be nice to them at times. .
2) Be nice to urself.
3) Get enough slp. (i didn't and i m sick now)
4)Dun log on to msn if u want to get ur accounting hmwrk done(i did dat and i m still stuck onto the same qnes for three days)
5)When doing essays, rem to include page numbers when u r quoting directly frm a source.(i didn't and i hafta run to the national library three times to get those stupid page numbers down.)
6) If u r sick(like me nw), nv drink those herbal tea frm medicine shop. it tastes so awful that it actually "aggravates" ur sickness.
7) Always bring food to lecture. it keeps u awake. my favourite food to bring is actually candies like methos, preserved fruits, lakerol etc etc etc
8) Kids are smarter than they look.(Trust me on this. i learnt my lesson frm the smart comebacks that i received frm a particular kid who shall remain nameless coz i m his current tuition teacher.)
9) Be nice to ppl who r nice to u.
10) Nv be nice to ppl who r mean to u(time is precious. dun waste it. Calling them nasty to their face is less time consuming than being a hypocrite and maintaining a false front.)

Well, that's all. the lessons above are strictly for reference only:p

stay-at-home day

2005-08-10T23:05:00.000-07:00

hi there... another long while since i blogged. i have been rather busy recently. also dunno wat i m busy with. it juz seems as if there's so much things that i shld do but that i have not done.

haizz... went out with veronica yesterday. it has been a long time since i last saw her. i think she became a bit prettier as compared to the last time i saw her. she seems a bit sick initially. Guess the work at harbour front really took it's toll on her. we had dinner at the west mall foodcourt(it has been a long time since we went there too. reminds me of my secondary sch days.)

after the dinner, we walked around coz there were a lot of notices outside looking for part-timers and she thinks she shld look for another job. as such, i also take the chance to update my junk food supply. i bought chips, hershey kisses, wafers and strawberry coffee at cold storage and the value shop. tot of buying some plums and prunes at uncle tidbits too but they dun look appealing to me so i decided to go buy another day. i also bought a disk and a file at popular. haha...we saw a fellow bbss ger there too. i think she looks prettier liao and rem her as a gf to one of our ex classmates. when i told dat to veronica, she thinks i kidding lohz so i encouraged her to go and ask, which of coz she didn't;p

hmmm... actually i guess i was supposed to go out with jinjie yesterday. as it was my oni day off frm tuition, it's something like our unofficial meeting day of the week but i need to get some notes frm veronica and it really has been years since i last saw her(ok... i exaggerated a bit there). i wanted to call him on tuesday nite to ask him whether we are going out on weds but by the time i rem that i shld give him a call it was already wednesday morning and i dun think he will pick up the phone(after all, who will pick up his phone at 3am in the morning rite?)

well.... speaking of which, he is going to the army soon... haizz... i tink i will really be veri free by that time. there will be no one to go out with me on weekends, no one to hear me whine, no one to accompany me on shopping trips etc etc etc. i shld stop whinning... i guess...

gotta go and do some accounting wrk now.... take care guys!

troubled

2005-08-04T09:51:00.000-07:00

it has been some time since i wrote in again. was busy wrking on my essay these few days. After three days and three nights of hard and intense work, i almost finished my first draft. i think i will do up my reference list and edit it coz i think my essay exceeds the wrd limit already.

Doing the essay was quite tough n i m nt sure whether i ans the qnes correctly or nt. Apart from this, i m also having doubts abt my relationship... Some things are not as nice as they seem to be.. Maybe i should have realized that a long time ago. juz had a conversation with him and it ended on a "not so nice" note. seriously i feel that he has become a bit more possessive than he was last time. i mean i noe he treats me really well but somehw, he gives me the feeling that he dun like me as much as compared to last time. maybe he's juz absorbed in his wrk while i m absorbed with mine and we r both insensitive to each other bahz.

we also had a bit of an "issue" yesterday with wich i consulted jerome with. With all his purest intentions, he thinks it's my fault and i called him an idiot and dat's abt it after which he shared his personal "experience" with me. Maybe he's rite and dat one shld be cautious when entering a relationship...

a new com!

2005-07-30T19:48:00.000-07:00

it has been another long time since i blogged. i noe i said that everytime but really no time nwadays. yest was another tiring day but i finally got wat i wanted. I bought a new com!

actually, i can't say i bought it coz my mum financed it but i figured out since i was the one who got it frm sim lim square, i feel dat it really belongs to me! i chose the colour of the cpu, the colour of the monitor and the type of speakers i want. the rest was chosen by jinjie and it oni costs me 1160 in total coz the guy gave us a 9 dollar discount and we are also entitled to a 20 dollar ntuc vouncher. i did comtemplate buying 20 bucks worth of chips, chocolates, candies and instant noodle after i gt the voucher but gave it to my mum in the end since she was the one who paid for the whole thing mahz.

but on the whole, yesterday has been veri tiring. i hate the "carry the computer" back home part. even though we took a cab, my arm still hurts and i wonder whether this is a valid excuse for nt doing my OB essay:p aniway, i m nw happily toking to ppl on msn in my own room and i guess all that trouble is worth it:)

untitled

2005-07-25T07:32:00.000-07:00

hi there. today is monday again... i m feeling a bit stressed up nw. i used to associate the com with msn, blogging and games when i was wrking but nw all i can associate with the com is wrk, wrk and wrk.

to start things off, i hafta write an essay for organizational behavior, a module i m taking this sem. the qnes is as follows:

Effective managers need leadership skills. Discuss wat u think contributes to leadership in organisations in Singapore with particular reference to motivation and communication theory.

Seriously speaking, i really have no idea to do it. N to put it frankly, i have no comments. i really feel like e mailing my lecturer and saying something like "Dear lecturer, i really luv to do ur essay but a thousand and five hundred words is a bit too much for me and i really think they are much better ways to express my interest in your subject than writing an essay."

this said, i dun think the lecturer will buy it. guess i shld stop whining abt it nw and find a way to really get it started.

wat can i really say? life's a bitch no matter wat u do, be it studying or wrking.

no time at all

2005-07-23T21:23:00.000-07:00

haizz.... honestly speaking, i m starting to regret sch already. there are so many things to do in sch. yesterday couldn't solve a qnes on accrual accounting. i was wrking yesterday so i took my hmwrk there coz i really have no time liao. then really veri irritated coz cannot solve it. i try and try then finally went for dinner with jinjie.

we went to the chicken rice stall at bugis. the chicken rice there is really veri cheap and nice. then went for crepes and cream for dessert at city hall. we ordered a really big bowl of ice cream with eight flavours. the blueberry, strawberry, chocolate, mango ice cream was quite nice. but i didn't really like the expresso and green tea ice cream.

after dat we walk walk a bit at the esplanade then go home liao. yest really damn shack lohz. the bus service to my hse like terminated like dat coz of the national day rehearsal so gotta walk two bus stops b4 i can find a bus to take home. in the end, i can oni find 171, which is the bus that takes the longest time to reach my hse. so by the time i reached home already twelve thirty liao. after dat i had a "chat" with huiping via sms. tok to her abt the probs i m facing in life coz really cannot slp nwadays. really can feel the stress creeping up liao.

we "chat" and "chat" until three after which i finally solve that accrual accounting qnes and read up a bit abt accounting b4 i went for bed.

well... today's another day. hope to enjoy it. the rain has finally stopped. time to shower and meet up with michelle and jinjie b4 i m late again.

comfortable day

2005-07-20T07:51:00.000-07:00

today is actually quite a gd day. for one thing, i dun have to go to sch. so for the first half of the day, i was in my "couch potato" mode. with my breakfast n lunch in hand(i woke up at ard 12), i started eating and ended my eating binch at two when i decided it's time for a shower.

i went onto msn after dat, toked for a while and msged jinjie . i was supposed to meet jinjie today at plaza singapura but due to the fact that i was too lazy(i really hope he wldn't be reading this:p) and wanted to save on bus fare, i actually tricked him into coming over to my hse since he's at plaza sing in the first place and there's a direct bus out there that will take him to my hse.

it took him quite long to reach my hse. when he reached the bus stop of my hse, he even called to ask whether my mum is at home. haha.... i really had a gd laugh at dat. looks like he's really quite scared of my mum.

when he finally came up, i tried cooking instant noodles for him but he wasn't veri appreciative. he said i didn't add enough water and dat he wants his egg scrambled=( hwever, we still had a nice dinner on the whole. i had some leftover rice and veggie from lunch so all i have to do is to pop them into the microwave. he washed up after that( i nv believe in the conventional role of woman washing up after a guy. but sad to say, i think he did a better job than me.my mum didn't complain dat the pot was dirty unlike the times when i wash it.)

after we had our dinner, i reverted to my "couch potato" mode for a while then went down to have desserts. i had ching teng while he had ice chendol. we even bought a can of pringles. i think i muz have eaten a lot coz after i finished my ching teng and half the can of pringles, i was feeling veri veri sleepy and a bit thirsty. so i had a can of pepsi at the hawker centre down my block b4 seeing him to the bus stop.

i m nw trying to stay awake by blogging. but dun think it's effective. guess i better go and shower nw. take care guys:)

haizz... dunno wat to say. my luck has really been down lately.... below are the events that has happened to me for this week.

1) failed my driving again.
dun even asked hw i fail. i m sick of telling everyone hw i fail after which they have a gd laugh abt it. let me repeat: it's NOT funi.

2)cut my fringe
well.... i guess i can oni blame myself for this. i tried cutting my fringe by myself. so far, feedback has ranged from "not really noticeable" and "ok lahz" to "dun do dat again" and "u r lucky it's nt noticeable".

3)flushed my facial wash down the toilet
dun ask me hw i did this. i juz dropped my facial wash one day when i was in the toilet. unlike previous occasions, it landed rite into the toilet bowl after which the next logical step was to flush it down.

4)gt bitten by sand worms
i gt bitten by sand worms while watching fantastic four. i dunno hw it occurred either. it was really bad and i had to c a doctor b coz of dat. the bill amounts to $26.30.

5)took up a module dat i totally dislike
well... that module is called business statistics. like the name suggests, it has got to do with stats and guess wat? i hate stats!

6) forgot my pencil box today
sounds juvenile rite? to start it off, i was almost late for sch coz i wanted to get all my stationary ready. but guess wat? in my hurry to leave the hse, i forgot all abt my pencil box and all the pencils and pens dat i had so painstakingly put into my beloved pencil case was left behind. moral of story: make sure my pencil box is in my bag next time. it doesn't matter wat's inside as long as u have got a pen.

7) my hp broke down today
the screen juz blanked out on me. i had a bout of "depression" during lecture b coz of this. but i managed to "revive" it by giving it three hard knocks on the table. looks like primitive methods work best.

on the other hand, looking on the bright side....
1) i can take my driving again. who cares hw many times u actually took ur driving test?
2)my fringe is going to grow back. n no matter wat others say, i still think i did a decent job:p
3) at least i didn't corked up the toilet bowl. i managed to flush it down after which i have replaced it with a new bottle.
4) it's recovering. hopefully, it won't leave ani scars.
5) wat can i say? i totally hate stats. but at least it's oni for this sem.
6)no one cares abt ur pencil case. at least i still had a pen and pencil for lecture.
7)the breaking down of ur hp and it's subsequent revival indicates that it's time for a trade in before it breaks down again. hw else will ppl noe when it's time to trade in their hp for a workable, opps i mean newer one if their hp dun break down?

k... that's all for this week. for anione out there who thinks they have gt a lousy weekend, feel free to look at mine and compare.

back to school

2005-07-08T03:24:00.000-07:00

hi, juz tot i shld write something abt my first week in sch. i feel so different nw that i m in sch and wrking at the same time. it's like wrk already take up four out of five of my weekday nites so i guess i m a bit tired nowadays.

seriously speaking, there are a number of things that i really LUV abt SIM and this includes:
1) afternoon lectures(i dun have to wake up b4 the sun is even up)
2)tea break(ensure that i get my lunch even if i wake up at 1 in the afternoon when the lecture is at two. wat's more? the food is free.)
3)no uniforms(i can juz grab the first shirt i c when i m running late. no more need to ensure that my sch uniform is ready so dat i will be in time for sch the next day)
4) location of sch(i noe this is rather personal. but i juz luv the location of my sch! it's so near my hse, i can leave the hse at 1:30 and still be on time for the lecture at two)
5) short hrs(sch hrs are really short. n there's oni one lecture a day at times.)
6)four day sch week(i get one day off almost every week for this semester.)
7) ppl(there are quite nice and sociable with a few exceptions of coz.)

on the other hand, there are some things dat i really dislike abt SIM...
1) long lectures(even though the sch hrs are short, the lectures are like three hrs long. even the most interesting subject can be boring if someone talked abt it for three hrs...zzzzzzzzz)
2)purchase of textbooks(damn ex.... it can cost fifty bucks for juz one lousy textbook.)
3)lifts that r nt really functional(ya... they do move but at a rate so slow, anione taking the stairs is faster than u.)
4) tough assignments(their assignments are damn tough lohz. for my business computing class, i m supposed to learn hw to use microsoft excel. sounds easy rite? the next thing i noe, i have to try out an assignment on microsoft excel dat is two pages in length. n wat's more? they give u so much data, u dunno where to start and hw to input the formula.)

well... i guess dat's all. gotta go for tuition nw... take care guys!

a new start

2005-07-04T20:36:00.000-07:00

this has on the whole been quite an ok week. everything is fine apart frm the fact that i m quite busy and rarely have time to go out. all my lessons for this week is in the afternoon which means that i can finally wake up late!

i guess one can finally say my life is back on tracks again. i suddenly have a routine to follow and m trying out a new job even though i can't say dat i m extremely gd at it. nevertheless, i will try my best to wrk things out. i m currently struggling to juggle everything but i believe dat i will be able to do it sooner or later. it juz takes some getting used to.

well... dat's all for today. feeling a bit tired nw. hafta go to sch in an hr's time...

tired

2005-07-01T19:33:00.000-07:00

haizz... have been feeling real tired these past few days. maybe it's the lack of sleep.... i have been teaching tuition for the past week. so far so gd... dunno hw long i will be at it. i m nt really feeling particularly optimistic.

i m supposed to give tuition to a new kid yesterday. it's obvious dat he isn't interested in his studies at all. he failed his english which i think is really a cause for worry and the attitude he shows on his first lesson is one of indifference. i feel as if he's putting up with me and i really feel the strong urge to nag at him.

apart frm this, his room is so disorganized that it actually makes my room look gd. it's like he dun even noe whether his sch teacher has returned his mid year exam papers to him or nt. i have to look through the pile of scattered textbook and wrksheets on his bed to find his exam papers. the oni thing visible in that whole room is his game boy which is lying next to the table on which he is supposed to do his wrk.

after the lesson, i was so tired dat i went straight home. i figured out dat the money frm tuition is easy if u meet the right kind of student. as for dat student yesterday, i think he's avg in terms of intelligence but his attitude needs a lot of improvement. for starters, he could have filed up his wrk, put away that game boy, clean up his room, focus more on wat i m toking abt and put in more effort when it comes to wrk(oops, i noe i m nagging again but i really can't help it).

dat's all for today, got to go for my ultra stupid driving lesson... hope things r turning out well for u guys! take care:)

orientation

2005-06-29T01:48:00.000-07:00

went for orientation today. quite boring i muz say. sometimes i wonder y there muz be orientation every time u enrol in a new sch. it's like no one really enjoys it and i m certain that the ppl planning dun really enjoy spending their weekends cooped up trying to think of games that can be used for orientation.

maybe i m juz cynical. aniway... saw my new class today. the ppl there are quite friendly. i guess i m still nt used to the change of environment but this will change over time.

well... that's all... meeting jinjie for dinner at bugis... gotta hurry or risk being late again.

first day

2005-06-28T07:00:00.000-07:00

hmmmm... also dunno where to start. went to SIM today for my enrolment. it was a dry and boring business as anticipated. i think there's a lot of things dat i will have to learn to get used to. they also gave a lot of notes which was so heavy that it really gave me a hard time juz to bring it home. it's lucky that i managed to meet someone whom i noe when i was collecting my notes and we kinda agree to meet and go to sch together even though i noe dat she won't be in the same orientation group as me.

i think dat's all for today. dun really feel like blogging coz i still have to go thru the orientation tml. the theme of the orientation is actually kampong glam which implies dat they will be a lot of running around in the humid weather. i guess i shld stop complaining and sleep early.... nitez..

having fun

2005-06-23T07:45:00.000-07:00

it has been some time since i blogged... having fun these days but feeling really tired. my eyes hurt a bit since i think i haven't been having enough slp...

i went out with huiping yesterday. we were supposed to go to town but decided to go to jurong pt instead coz i was feeling pretty tired and i really wanted to return home early so dat i can rest(i really dunno y i even want to go home early. i nv seem to rest even if i reach home early...) we managed to get a present for yi ping. it's really a nice looking black leather bag which unfortunately is wrapped in a wrapper that resembles the curtains in my room(i m trying to be nice already..) i wanted to re-wrap it today but the bag is quite big and i m having trouble finding a wrapping paper that's large enough for the bag. apart frm this, the bag is irregular in shape and i juz can't WRAP anithing dat dun have a regular shape(note: for those of u who r reading this, i guess it's no secret as to y the presents i give ur are always retangular or squarish in shape:p)

apart frm this, i also meetup with veron for dinner today. we went for a few rounds of pool after dat and we even walked around a bit. the one thing dat i prob shldn't have done today is taking DAT neo print. i really look ugly in it but still it's been a long time since veron and i took a pic together. she really look quite nice in it:) hope u r reading this dear:p

i guess dat's all for today. feeling a bit drained nw. keeps knocking into things nwdays for no rhyme or reason. i mean i have always received comments frm frens as to hw clumsy i m but i didn't realized it until these few days. it's like i have this "amazing " ability to knock into tables and chairs. knocking into tables and chairs are ok but the last straw came when my leg juz bang itself into this wall when i stepped into my room a moment ago. it's really damn painful...

haizz... i think i m going to slp real early tonite. take care guys... i guess a gd rest is essential esp for ppl like me.

interesting day

2005-06-20T05:32:00.000-07:00

hmmmm.... dunno where to start. guess i will start frm sat... i was supposed to wrk on sat with huiping one but somehw i woke up at nine something and felt a little dizzy so i called huiping up and told her that i m nt going to wrk at pizza hut for dat day...

so i slp till twelve something and when i woke up, i felt quite ok liao so i went to catch batman begins. the movie was quite nice. but me and jinjie gt rather lousy seats(four rows frm the screen) due to the fact dat i took my long sweet time to get out of the hse(i tot no one wld watch it... if oni i had known earlier). i felt quite dizzy initially but after the first hour or so, i think my eyes adjusted to the position and i finally get to enjoy the movie.

the movie itself is relatively gd. the plot is quite clear cut and most of the characters acted quite well esp the actor who was acting as Alfred. i like his dry wit which eludes a certain charm. the movie also managed to convey the dark and sinister side of gotham sucessfully thru its settings such as the asylum where the scarecrow first made its appearance. overall, the whole movie was surprinsingly nice apart frm the scenes where katie holmes appeared. i think she's attractive and everything but she didn't look the part she was acting out. i think she is the kinda actress dat will do well in teen flicks such as mean gers or freaky friday.

we went to eat at long john after that. i like the spicy lemon fish. it's quite tasty even though it isn't even the least bit spicy. i went home after dat and logged onto msn. i saw huiping on msn and she called me at twelve something to chat. it was a veri long chat dat lasted until three something in the morning after which i was so tired dat i fell aslp almost immediately. hwever, half way thru my slp, a stupid mosquito gave me repeated bites. as i was too lazy to switch on the light and get that stupid mosquito, i moved to my sister's room so dat i can slp in peace(her room was vacant coz she went for a camp.)

i was really veri tired so i slept and slept until jinjie called me to ask whether i wanna go shopping or nt. it was oni then dat i decided i have to get up coz it was almost one. so i woke up, tidy up my room(i promised my mum to do it) and managed to meet jinjie at bugis at three. we shop for a while. we went to seiyu to take a look but the six dollar tops were all gone. i was pretty disappointed but i managed to get two spag tops at samuel and kevin for oni twenty bucks. i went to get eye shadow too coz there was a twenty percent discount. all in all, i think dun think i spend much for my shopping trip. i oni spend ten bucks and saved a bit for that parrticular week so b4 i can chg my mind, i called up my driving instructor today and managed to book a lesson.

well... i guess dat's all for this week. i oni have to get my converse shoes(saw a really cute design the other day), this bag which i kinda like, a pair of vintage jeans b4 all my desires are satisfied and i will stop shopping until the christmas sales come along:p

great singapore sale rocks!

2005-06-13T05:20:00.000-07:00

i think i m blogging more frequently nowadays. maybe it's the fact that i do not go out as often as i used to after wrk and thus have more energy to get some stuff down...

the house is really quiet now. my sis has a prayer meeting tonite(honestly speaking, i really wonder y ppl like to congregate and pray together. i always tot prayer is more of a personal thingy). my mum and dad are wrking which means that i have the hse and best of all the com all to myself for at least the next three hrs:p

there's really nothing to do at wrk today. i was trying nt to fall aslp throughout the whole ten hrs. i guess i was still feeling a bit tired coz of the stupid meeting and due to the fact that i went shopping yesterday.

haha... i think i m really addicted to shopping liao. it's like despite spending sixty something bucks in a day excluding food(and of coz feeling the pinch after i reached home) last weekend, i still feel the urge to shop this weekend. it juz makes me feel happy to c that there are sales everywhere nt to mention the sense of satisfaction u get when u feel that u have gotten something at a cheaper price. dat's y i m always in the mood to shop coz shopping makes me happy and energetic although i oni had six hrs of sleep the previous nite(i normally slp for a total of ten hrs during weekend nites.)

the sad thing is, we didn't shop for long coz jinjie has a bit of that "pained" expression on his face after going thru those shops located at the basement of far east plaza. in the end, i can oni find ONE skirt that i like in that limited time frame.(i tot of buying a few more but the ones i like dun come in my size.) hwever, it still makes me happy coz i think i gt a pretty good deal on that skirt due to the twenty percent discount:) oh... n thanks for paying for me dear(c? i did rem to thank u on my blog:p n juz to show u dat i m appreciative, maybe we can go shopping again next week juz so u can revamp ur wardrobe. it's the great sinapore sales after all... there's no reason for u to wait until christmas to get ur shopping done..)

after that short shopping trip, we went to marina square to catch a movie. it's called monster-in-law. it's quite a nice movie. i think jane fonda really put up a good performance as the mad and domineering soon to be mother-in-law to jennifer lopez's character. the ending was a bit touching and unexpected too... i guess every mother feels insecure once their sons or daughters get older and start their own family.

after the movie, we walked around a bit. i didn't manage to find anithing dat i really wanted to buy so we went to pizza hut for dinner since i got my pay slip which had that 25% discount coupon. the food was ok apart frm the fact that the beef lasagne they served was a bit oily and dat the soup was a bit too salty. we went to koi garden after which i tried to feed those fishes but most of them were aslp and couldn't care less abt the food(think we came at the wrg time. u shld have seen the way they were swimming. somehw it's quite annoying to c that they r taking their own sweet time to swim to the food coz they are aware that no one will be fighting with them).

i gave up trying to feed those kois in the end coz it was no fun and ended up at the pet shop where i saw this really really realy cute male rabbit called keith. he's really cute with those perky ears and fluffy tail but i dun think he like me much. for one thing, he didn't even respond when i said hi to him. juz in case ur r thinking that it's stupid of me to tok to animals, that cute but irritating rabbit actually respond by standing on it's hind legs whenever jinjie said hi to him! this happened a few times after which i left to look at the hamsters seeing that keith was such a "disappointment".

later on, we went to the esplanade as usual. there was a pretty nice wind blowing when suddenly i saw a cat and for no rhyme or reason, i started to wonder whether cats actually eat calamari rings(ya, i noe. my brain functions in a pretty weird way). this sparked off a mini debate between me and jinjie with him thinking that cats actually like calamari rings coz calamari rings=sontong= fish and cats like fishes. as for me, i nv tot a cat wld like calamari rings coz i have nv seen a cat eat one b4. i guess it's juz like the time when i was in kindergarten and i drew a chicken without feathers for my assignment coz i have nv seen a chicken with feathers b4(my mum still laughs at DAT. she told me i was a stubborn kid and it took me a trip to the jurong bird park b4 i was finally convinced that chicken HAVE feathers. i still can't believe i was DAT stupid..)

haha... well... we nv really gt the ans to whether cats really eat calamari rings coz we were both tired after being out for the whole day and went home.

i guess dat's all for today... hope to have an early nite. take care everyone:)

irritating nite

2005-06-11T20:34:00.000-07:00

to start my blog with, i was in a pretty gd mood yesterday until i reached pizza hut. the first indication that my day will nt turn out well was when huiping told me they r going to have a meeting dat nite. i was like -_-". i seldom wrk nwadays so it doesn't really make much sense for me to attend the meeting. so huiping and i agreed that we wld sneak away once we have the chance to do so.

but guess wat? as luck wld have it, huiping was the cashier and frm experience, closing duties for cashiers on a sat nite always end late. but wrk was quite ok yest except for my closing duty. i was the ONI person doing clear and set. luckily uncle ong was there to help me.

after i finished my closing duties, i waited for huiping. juz b4 the meeting started, huiping said she needs to go to the toilet. hmmmm.... it took me a moment to get the hint but in the end, we didn't manage to sneak off coz i realized i left my bag in the locker with my keys inside. we wanted to go thru the back door to get it one but kena caught by that poy when we walk past pizza hut to get to the back door. i think he already noes wat we were up to liao... Sianz....

so in the end, we have to sit thru the whole stupid meeting dat lasts for a whole two hrs in the hot and stuffy room coz the air con was switched off... by the time i reached home, it was already two something in the morning and i was in no mood to slp liao:(

it was truly a lousy nite for me... i dun think i will ever go for another pizza hut meeting ever again...

is it my fault?

2005-06-08T08:23:00.000-07:00

haizz... today was supposed to be a happy day coz jinjie and i were supposed to meet for dinner. to start off with, i was late for 15 min coz i was stuck at the minimart and was unable to catch the bus dat leaves the interchange at 7pm. he waited for me patiently which i m quite grateful for and we had dinner at pizza hut.

hwever, dinner was nt really a happy affair. he said something which i find veri unpleasant to the ear. i dunno whether i m petty or dat he is insensitive. but the fact is, try as i mite, i was still rather bothered by wat he said during dinner and i guess it showed in my attitude. he mite have said it in jest but still...

after that, i managed to meet up with veronica and esther. jinjie asked whether he shld go home first since i will be going home with them. as i was still in my "lazy to tok" mode, i could nt care less and kinda gave a response that "asks him to do as he deems fit". he went home in the end after which, i feel a bit bad and gave him a call but he was already at the MRT station...

i guess i m still rather bothered by it nw... dat's y i m blogging it down. haizz... guess i m gonna sleep. maybe tml will be a better day...

the wait has ended

2005-06-05T00:06:00.000-07:00

hi, i finally received my letter frm ntu yesterday. it is confirmed dat i have been rejected! i dunno y i m so happy. i tot i wld be veri disappointed like hw i felt last yr. but i guess i was more relieved than sad. i think dat's b coz i m an impatient person who really HATES to wait. the problem with waiting does nt lie with the wait itself.... sometimes u mite have already guessed the outcome but u choose to deny it coz there's no definite ans yet... waiting lets u harbour hopes that u noe will be dashed once the truth hits u...

well... actually, there's nothing much to blog. yest was kinda a tiring day. i woke up at 7 juz so i can go to SIM early and pay my sch fees which is ard 5000 plus. hwever, it turns out that my sis still hasn't recovered frm her rashes yet so seeing that i was early, i decided to accompany her to the doctor. seriously speaking, i think the doctor crapped a lot. she said those rashes mite be caused by stress, usage of different skin products, intake of certain food etc etc. at the end of the conversation i really feel like thanking her(sarcastically, of coz) for telling my us wat we already noe.

after the boring visit to the clinic, i went to SIM to make payment. there i encounter some problems coz it turns out that i m paying by nets and that there is a withdrawal limit of 2000 bucks per day. the attitude of the cashier at the counter really sucks. the moment i could nt pay up, she told me dat " it's ur own stuff. u shld have checked b4 coming". of coz she was rite but who the hell is she to make such comments. she shld have juz kept her mouth shut and do her wrk. so i did the next logical thing dat anione wld have done. i called up the first person whom i can think of who owns a credit card and will definitely have to pay for me---- my dad.

so there i was, waiting and still feeling a little pissed off with the cashier when this ger who was also pissed off with the cashier sat beside me. her case is rather funi. it turns out that the cashier refused to let her pay at the counter and asked her to go to the customer service for help as she was trying to buy some study material. hwever, when she was at the customer service counter, the ppl there told her to go to the cashier to pay up first. so there she was running frm the cashier to the customer service counter. in the end, she was so pissed at the cashier for refusing to let her pay that she actually ask one of the customer service staff to come over and tell the cashier that she has to pay first b4 she can get her materials. so at the end of the whole thing, i m really nt surprised that her face was quite "black".

in the end i decided to strike up a conversation with her coz i was really bored that starts with "her attitude really sucks." i noe it's nt a great conversation starter but she responded to it with a smile. turns out that she was doing english psychology. it sounds really interesting and something dat i wld like to do too but i wonder wat i can do if i graduate witha a degree in that....

aniway, after the whole SIM thingy, i went home to slp. i intend to stay home the whole day but went out with jinjie in the end. we walked ard in cine and i tot i saw weiting but i couldn't be sure so i didn't dare to say hi. i also saw derrick that day. he kinda said hi but he walked away b4 i could even ask him for the ten bucks he owed me since Feb(ya... i noe. i admit i m a miser who has a gd memory when it comes to ppl who owes me money)

we went to the esplanade after that and chatted for a while like we always do. i think he's more concerned abt getting a new laptop nw. i wonder hw the minds of guys wrk. i will nv think of buying a laptop if mine still functions but he has his own pt of view too and it sounds reasonable coz he sold his old laptop for 350 bucks(a gd price since he gt it free frm his company two yrs ago. sometimes i wonder wat the company was thinking when they gave dat laptop to him-_-") and oni need to top up a relatively small sum of 650 to get another second hand laptop dat has gt a satisfactory range of functions.

hwever, i dun think i will ever sell my old com juz to get a new one. it seems cruel. i m always emtionally attached to things that i once held dear to me. i guess that explains y my pentium two com is still lying ard in my room even though it had a complete breakdown last month and y i haven't brought another desktop.. it's easy when u part with money meant for clothes and food but it's another story when u have gt to spend a few hundred bucks on coms and gadets. it seems extravagant to me.

i guess dat's oni my pt of view. i hope i can finally get over the pain of having to part with my money and get a desktop soon... anione who has got lobang with regards to desktops can tell me abt it. dat's all! take care guys:)

deep thoughts

2005-06-02T06:36:00.000-07:00

haizz... this has been a pretty fine day. there's nothing much to do at the shop. i reached home pretty early today too. i oni dropped by old chang kee and ntuc to get canned soup b4 i had my dinner with my sis. (PS: sori abt the letter thingy. i didn't noe u will leave home so early and so did not manage to give u dat letter.)

we chatted a bit b4 i told her dat i wanted to use the com. as it turns out, i hafta wait for some time coz she has got 200 over slides of notes to print out-_-""" after half an hr's wait, my sis finally finished everything liao but juz as i was abt to start using the com, the doorbell rang and this auntie whom i realized was my neighbour suddenly asked for my mother.(i tot she was going to complain abt things such as leaking aircon or dripping clothes until my sis told me that this auntie lived above us and i realized that water frm our laundry could nt possibly have dripped onto hers). well... she asked for our telephone no. and left.... weird lady... i wonder wat it was all abt.

today is also a day when i m "attacked" by deep tots. tots juz flooded my head. i guess everyone has one of these annoying days. maybe it was my chat with jerome yesterday that evokes all these tots(dun wry. m nt blaming u:p) we toked abt God and abt my nick for msn. sometimes i wonder when i wld make an effort to get up early to go for church(for everyone's info, i oni go to church on special occasions like easter).

sometimes i really feel pretty tired of life. there seem nothing much to it when u really think abt it. u study, wrk, get married, have kids and then die. it seems all the same somehw for everyone. "God has a plan for everyone".... i wonder whether it applies nw.

hmmmm.... guess i m really cynical nw. i think the idealism that i once used to have is nw wearing away with each passing day. maybe it's those rejections(i think i gt rejected by ntu too. juz haven't received their letter yet).

haizz... i gues i m still feeling a bit under the weather. hope that i will realize wat is in store for me soon...

rejection

2005-06-01T05:43:00.000-07:00

well... it has again been another long time since i have blogged. nothing much has happened. everything has been veri dull...

to start off with, i failed my driving test AGAIN. i hate it when i fail my driving test coz it nv fails to make me feel stupid. i guess the gd thing is that i have stopped mounting up kerbs and i hope that shows i m improving.

actually, i thought i had passed my driving test that day so it was really veri disapointing to noe that i flunked it again. i was like "wat the heck" when my tester told me i gt one immediate fail. he said i drove into the path of oncoming vehicles and i didn't even realize that. seriously speaking, i feel dat he is a gender discriminating freak. to top dat off, he has to rattle off a list of wat i had done wrg after i flunked which is really veri irritating. my "faults" include the abrupt changing of lanes, failure to confirm safety, failure to check for blind spots and insufficient acceleration etc etc which makes me even more irritated coz i DID check for blind spots and i DID confirm safety(seriously speaking, he shld be in the car when i didn't confirm safety. i dun think he wld have been alive telling me off if that was the case.)

aniway, wat's past is past i guess... apart frm failing my driving test, i also found out that i gt rejected by nus on the same day. i was nt really pissed or anithing with nt getting in. i guess i was already mentally prepared for it. i was more disappointed and pissed with my driving test.

haizz... i guess dat's all for this week... i hope my weekend will turn out well... by the way, for all of u guys who wondered wat happened to my blog, it's pretty simple. someone screwed it up by accident but i m glad everything is fixed nw:)

a new beginning?

2005-05-15T22:53:00.000-07:00

it's been another long time since i blogged. actually yesterday i was blogging half way when jin jie dropped over to look at the com in my room which is spoilt. i think i m gonna get a lap top liao. maybe shld start saving nw. anione out there got ani lobang? second hand also nvm. i dun do much online except go on msn or surf.

hmmmm.... it has also been a week since i started wrk at a child care centre. the kids are really cute even though some of them can be naughty. there are a lot of funi funi incidents there. there's this kid who always urinate b4 she can reach the toilet. on my first day there, i even help her soak up the excess urine on her diaper using toilet paper so that it will not be so wet. but guess wat? she complained that it was wet and got out her bag which has three extra diapers. i was like -_-" lohz.... she could have taken it out earlier b4 i got my hands dirty. haha... but she is a veri cute ger. it's like whatever she do, the chances of something going wrg is quite high and when things go wrg, she will look at u with those wide innocent eyes asking for help.

overall, i kinda like my new job. it's definitely better than the clinic one. the kids are all veri nice one. they will hold ur hands and sit on ur lap but they r a few that r veri naughty. there's this one guy who's veri naughty. everytime i c him coming in the morning, i noe the place is gonna get noisy liao. he can nv sit down... then when i ask him to stand up, he will say "dun want" and remain stubbornly seated. i was so pissed off with him that i actually asked him "did i ask u whether u want to stand up or nt?" to which he still remain stubbornly seated.

apart frm this new job, i started my first day of wrk at bukit timah pizza hut yesterday. all i can say is, the atmosphere there is veri different frm dat of jurong pt. everyone is quite nice but they can be veri "relaxed" one. honestly speaking, after two months of break frm wrking at pizza hut, i tot my first day will be veri boring one coz i tot surely nothing to do coz bukit timah pizza hut is like veri quiet like dat. but surprisingly, i thinkn i wrk harder there than at jp pizza hut.

then they r also a few "funi" characters there. there is this guy whom i really can't stand. it's like whatever i m doing, he will interrupt. it's like if i m holding menus in my hand, he will juz snatch them. he will also interrupt when i m keying in orders which i think is veri rude. the last straw came when i was wiping a table and there was this customer whom he was standing next to asking for their order to be taken. n guess wat? he wants me to take it. i was really rather irritated. it's like can't he take it since he's oni standing NEXT to them? apart frm him, there's also this ger who looks veri put of place and veri hmmmm.... blur. i have nothing against her but i think for someone who is older than a lot of staff there, she doesn't really strike me as street smart. i think she looks even younger than me and huiping. haha... i told huiping abt her to which huiping said "ya, i think she looks like a past reflection of u". i didn't make ani comments coz i think part of wat she says is quite true also ah:P

haizz... dat's all for this week... i guess i gotta go nw. hafta attend to some stuff today. hope it's a start to a new beginning.

new week.... new problems

2005-05-05T05:08:00.000-07:00

hi, it has been a loooooog time since i blogged. this is a relatively gd week to start with. went to sentosa on mon with kim and jinjie. we had a gd time. i tried learning hw to cycle and hw to swim but it was generally veri unsuccessful. apart frm this, it was sunny the whole day and the temperature was so high dat even the sand was scorching hot so in the end, all three of us gt sunburnt. in fact i m still "recovering" frm it:P

yesterday was also an interesting day coz i "invited" huiping over to my hse to help me cook my spaghetti. i noe it was going to take some time for us to cook so i brought some food frm the hawker centre down my blk to chew on first b4 i started cooking. overall, everything went pretty well. for one thing, i did nt cut ani of my fingers. the most "unfortunate" thing dat happened to me was when i started cutting up the onion. i didn't noe whether to peel the skin or to cut it first and took a relatively long time to decide, after which my eyes were subjected to "immense torture"when i decided to cut the onions first.

overall, i think the end result of the spaghetti was better than i expected. it tastes relatively good with some help frm the prego sauce. after the "cooking session", me and huiping chatted for a while after which she blogged and went home. hmmmm... honestly, i feel dat it's nice to think but it's unhealthy to think too much. dat's y sometimes i dun think and act by instinct coz i noe dat i m the kinda person that can nv get things done if i think too much. hopefully, u have already made ur decision nw. take care:)

hmmm... apart frm this, i had a relatively long chat with someone over msn last nite. i noe he means well but till nw, i still dunno y he has to bring up that topic yesterday. it struck some raw nerves and dat's when i noe i have been in self denial all this while. thus, i guess i must thank him even though his wrds were rather unpleasant to say the least. though this is so, i still feel dat life is unpredictable. wat is there to imply dat i will nt be stuck in a low position whining my head off even if i gt my degree? i think that is something to think abt too... with regards to my religion, i think u were rite to say dat there was resentment involved. i dunno when i will return to church again and whether i wld be as committed as i once was. Let God take care of everything, i guess.

well.... i think dat's all for this week. take care everyone....

lesson learnt

2005-04-23T00:08:00.000-07:00

hi, juz returned frm work today and thought i will blog. today's another rather stressful day at the clinic and i think i m abt to quit.

juz in case ur think i m a quitter, i m nt. i juz dun want to waste my time there. i have two colleagues there, chris and linda. they r both really nice ppl. the prob lies with the doc. he's veri demanding. he says i m veri slow in my work. when i first heard it, i was pretty stressed out. but by day three i have already gotten over it coz i realized that he picks on everything and i mean EVERYTHING.

i juz learnt that four ppl have quit in the space of three months! in fact i had lunch with chris today and i told her that i dun like the doc much coz i feel that he has unreasonable expectations. to my surprise, chris actually agreed with me and told me a lot more. she said the doctor once fired a staff coz she commented that he was temperamental and words eventually got around to him through his wife. he fired her the NEXT DAY by asking her to sign a termination form. she refused to sign and walked off. dat ger is not a newcomer to clinic work. she works for another clinic part time for a few years already and refused to sign the termination form coz she dun want to ruin her "reputation" for wat is not her fault.

after hearing this, i was quite shocked. i didn't expect things to be dat bad. i tot maybe it was oni me. i later learnt that linda, the colleague i have worked with for a few shifts already also has problems with him. she is really experienced in clinic work. she has got fifteen years of experience and used to work at Raffles Hospital. she was even in the Accident and Emergency unit which means that she has to be ready at a moment's notice when she's at work. frm wat i have seen, she is indeed a fast worker n still the doc can find problems with her by saying that she's nt fast enough or make mistakes. he's veri particular abt things. it's like he wants his clinic to be quiet. this means that we cannot make any noise when we r walking. this isn't much of a prob to me. the thing is even when we r dispensing medicine, he expects us to do it fast and do it quietly. for goodness sake, those medicine are kept in huge glass bottles and to carry it with one hand and pour it into another small plastic bottle needs skill and sometimes when u r busy, u tend to spill a bit of med and make some noise coz u have to find the huge glass bottles, take the onees u want and then put it back after u r done. as the bottles are make of glass, they tend to "rattle" when u take it out or put it back into the rack of identical med bottles. like chris said, he's sensitive to noise(in my opinion, he's a freak).

apart frm this, he also likes to spot check. sometimes, when he's in there with a patient, he will suddenly ask the patient to wait and stick his head out to c wat we r doing. i mean wat can we be doing?

thus, after all this, i have decided to quit asap. i haven't seen anione like dat b4 and i mean it. even gers who r PMSing aren't that bad. of coz there are times when he's "nice" but honestly speaking, i find it rather fake. to give him the benefit of the doubt, i wld say dat he's temperamental at best.

i guess that sums up y i m quitting... haizz... wat luck.

today marks the day when i slp a record 15 hours! i didn't even noe i have slept dat much until my sis asked me to slp more when i told her i was feeling unwell. to start off with, i was feeling veri sick today. my head really hurts and i was feeling dizzy half the time. i had the urge to vomit and was feeling hot all over. so being the not so sensible person i m(i tot i was feeling dat way coz i was nt having nt enough slp despite the fact that i woke up at 12 noon), i decided to go for another nap and woke up at 4 pm instead.

i tried to eat something after waking up at 4 but the truth is i feeling like vomitting with every mouthful of food that ends up inside my mouth(n no, i did nt try to cook today.) so i figured out that something muz be a bit wrg and ended up searching for the panadol which was supposed to be in my room(i think i muz have finished it). in the end, i decided i had enough of these "hangover" symptoms that's been plaguing me and began making my way down to the seven eleven near my blk. i managed to get a packet of panadol acti fast as well as some sweet and sour orange peels and even gt two cute hello kitty magnets:P

the panadol acti fast really wrks. it totally relieves me of my headache and the orange peels were really nice. i always had a liking when it comes to preserved fruits and so finished the whole bottle of it despite the fact that i was nt feeling dizzy a while after i took my medication.

so here i m, sitting down here and blogging after having my dinner( i think i muz have missed at least two meals today including tea and supper). n guess wat? i think i m feeling sleepy again. i think i will end my entry here. nite everyone!

unsure

2005-04-14T06:04:00.000-07:00

hi, juz had a sudden urge to blog. today marks the day when i m gonna write my first resume(i dun exactly have ani format in mind so ani help offered will be greatly appreciated). though this is so, i m determined to get a new job regardless of whether i end up in a uni or nt. i figured out that there's still one month to go even if i m going to a uni so there's still a lot to of time...

i also went around reading ppl's blog today... found out frm poy's blog dat pizza hut has chged quite a lot already. haizz.... shld have wrked more when eric was around. guess that new manager muz really be a pain in the neck coz so far i haven't heard anione compliment him b4... haha, maybe i shld wrk next week juz to c hw he is like:p

hmmm... today is really a quiet day. nothing much to say actually. it's juz dat when i was having dinner a while ago, it juz struck me dat i m unsure abt a lot of things which i have done. i m nv sure abt my decisions. i always wonder abt whether i m rite or wrg AFTER i have already made a decision. i wish i can be more certain and feel more secure abt wat i m doing instead of wondering relentlessly. it gets tiring at times...

well... i guess dat's abt it. take care everyone:)

uncertainty

2005-04-12T07:50:00.000-07:00

hi blog... went for another NIE interview at MOE again... i forgot where it is situated until i saw the address on the letter juz one day b4 the interview. seriously speaking, i was nt confident abt the interview at all coz i was feeling sick(caught a cold the other day) and also the fear of rejection was intensified due to the fact that i didn't make it last yr. well... hw shld i start?

hmmm.... to start off with, i arrived half an hr early for my interview. so i seated myself down early, got registered and saw the other candidates who were there too. some of them were obviously juz out of sch coz they kinda looked like students even when they were in office wear or smart casual clothes. they were all abt the same age as me except one "uncle". he looked really old and i kinda figured out that he's going to be one of the interviewers(every year, they make sure they have more than one interviewers. i had five last year. oni two asked qnes while the rest stare at u). so upon seeing dat "uncle", i was certain that he must be one of the interviewers who were in charge of "staring" at me. dat's y i had a real shock when i went inside the room and saw a label that says "associate professor MR (pardon me but i forgot his name)" placed in front of him. i was so shocked that i didn't even hear the first qnes but being the predictable ppl dat they r, i kinda figured out that they were asking y i wanna become a teacher.... AGAIN.

the interview really took a turn for the worse when they asked me abt wat i noe abt their program. the truth is i didn't noe a thing! so i juz crapped thru abt hw it's some programme dat takes some yrs to complete(which is like every programme u can find). i seriously think i m nt cut out for lying. my desperate attempt was rewarded by a tolerant smile on their part(i believe they r nice ppl but they could have smiled more naturally to calm my already frazzled nerves). it was oni towards the end when i gave a satisfactory ans and they smiled and nodded their heads that i feel a glimmer of hope(they did laugh at some of my ans but they weren't convinced). other than that, i have to say that the whole interview did not really turn out well.

haizz... really hope to enter a uni this year. a degree is quite impt. in fact, i m starting to think dat ani degree wld do. ppl dun really look at ur grades as long as u gt a degree unless u get distinctions or something like that. of coz, when i mention a degree, it means a recognized degree preferably frm NUS or NTU. SMU will do too... but i didn't apply this year coz i didn't like the environment. it's more for extroverts and till today the oni impression i get frm making a trip to their open house last yr was that the food court there serves rather nice and economic food. other than that, i really can't rem much abt them(does the fact that they have really nice LTs count? so does SIM actually...)

oh well... shldn't drawl on and on abt it... hope i juz get into one of it.... oh... and gd luck to everyone taking their exams nw. gd luck sis... and gd luck to u too veron. thanks for waking me up today:) gd luck to YOU too even though u forgot to wake me up today. tml's ur last paper so take care and sleep early.

blogging again

2005-03-31T06:54:00.000-08:00

hi blog. it's been a long time. well.. a no of things happened... weekend was ok... went to catch miss congenality... quite a nice and funny movie... i think sandra bullock really did a gd job. her potrayal of Gracie Hart gt me hooked. the story is basically abt hw sandra was too popular after her participation in Miss universe to do ani more undercover wrk which leads to her becoming the "new face of FBI" with a slogon dat says "pp onil care abt ppl who cares abt themselves". she soon lost her sense of self in all the limelight and interviews until her fren gt kidnapped. it's a story abt accepting and being who u really r. it also touched a bit on frenship. although i think the storyline is indeed a bit outdated, i kinda liked the show. sandra has dat onscreen charisma that makes u like her and the show she is acting in.]

well... also went out for dinner with huiping and jinjie last sat at bugis. we went shopping. i nearly bought a swimsuit but backed out when i realized that i oni gt 8 bucks in my wallet. so i went to the four leaves at the basement and used (wat is left) of my money to buy a strawberry shortcake instead. overall, it was an enjoyable day. i even persuaded jinjie to spend some money to cut his hair(he thinks it's a waste coz he's going into the army soon and he figured he's going to get a "free haircut" one of these days).

after the kinda enjoyable weekend... i had my driving test on tues... it's really really irritating. it's my second time and i still failed! it was ALL the tester's fault dat i gt three immediate fails. he said i mounted a kerb. and guess wat? i did! but who nv mounted kerbs b4? it's perfectly normal. it's juz dat i was unlucky enough to mount it during my driving test. he could have been more forgiving... well... after dat... he "accused" me of getting into the path of an oncoming vehicle who has the right of way when i was in the circuit. but dat vehicle was moving so slowly. it was ALMOST STATIONARY! the car was like dragging his lazy ass across MY path. after i got out of the circuit, things took a turn for the worse when i was asked to turn rite at a "STOP" junction. i was pretty sure all the cars were gone b4 i made my turn but guess wat? a stupid motorist decided to cut across my path at dat time of all times! so my stupid tested pulled up my handbrake. he was really overreacting lohz. i mean if the motorist had the arrogance to cut my path, he muz be really confident dat i will not be able to knock him down. i mean ya.. he did look shocked when he saw me. he even gt dat guilty look after he saw that i was taking my driving test. it was obvious we didn't see each other. both of us were at fault but i paid a higher price. juz in case the motorist is reading my blog(which i noe is veri veri unlikely but it nv kills juz to write it down), i juz wanna tell u to @*&%$@! i m going to rem u until i pass my driving coz u r sooooo irritating!

well... feeling better nw... was really irritated dat day so much so dat kim really gt an "earful" frm me:p so in the end... i gt 8 demerit pts and 3 immediate fails. my instructor was laughing when i told him abt the 3 immediate fails. i think it was a new high or something n it was definitely not my fault(at least nt all). maybe i live it self denial but it nv fails to make me feel better. things got worse when i returned to BBDC with the tester...

tester:ur driving is quite bad.
me(thinking): so is my luck.
tester: if u r gd i wld have passed u. i passed a lot of ppl.
me(thinking): duh. of coz u passed a lot of pp. u spent decades at ur job.
tester:given the way u drive, i m 100% certain that u will get into an accident if i give u ur licence today.
me(thinking and fuming at the same time): who nv gets into accidents? everyone gets into accidents at one pt or another. it's normal. i m sure u give licence to ppl who later got into accidents.
tester: i hope u will try again.
me(giving a "i m so pissed i dun wanna tok to u smile): sure.

as u can c... i stayed quiet most of the time. i really did wanna argue with him but i figured out dat he will still fail me even if i did not. haha... kim told me she has a cousin who argued with her tester. kinda like her attitude. testers can be so unreasonable n their attitudes can be soooo destestable to the extent that it's almost insulting:(

dat's all for my driving lesson. it was a disaster. i m feeling better but still rather pissed today. but things are going well for me today i guess. i m feeling better nw coz i grumbled to a lot of ppl. i had a tok with a no. of ppl yesterday. kinda enlightened me. hopefully... tml will be a better day:)

weekend

2005-03-21T04:11:00.000-08:00

it's been a long time since i blogged. another week has passed. last week was another tiring week. nothing much to tok abt. huiping had to study for her exams so we couldn't go out together. it has been a long time since we met. (gd luck for ur exams, huiping!)

i did do some shopping(make some rather stupid purchases is a better wrd for it actually). i also caught the son of the mask. it wasn't that bad a movie. the theatre was like 60% filled with kids though(no surprise considering that the movie is probably targeting audience who is under ten years of age.) the special effects are pretty gd( there had this funny scene where the kid was playing twister with the God of mischeive) and the storyline though quite predictable is still passable(by my standard that is). overall, it was an ok movie. there's simply nothing really memorable or destestable abt it although it's advisable to watch it during the weekdays(i dun think the movie is worth $8.50... it is juz nt dat gd)

aniway, i was really feeling uncomfortable throughout the movie so i went home after that and had dinner at the coffee shop downstairs later with jinjie. the food was not particularly gd but i kinda enjoyed dinner. it has been a long time since i dined at the coffee shop down my hse. i think the food is relatively cheap there too although i do feel dat they overcharged us a little on a plate of tofu with bits of prawn and sontong inside(it costs us 8 bucks... n by bits of prawn and sontong, i really mean bits. it's nt even bite sized...)

after dinner i went home and had a really gd nite sleep. i slept until twelve and did a bit of reading. in fact, i juz finished the book today. the title of the book is "inconceiveable". it's abt this couple who is trying for kids. the female character, penny tried means and ways to conceive resorting to both unconventional and conventional methods whereas the male character sam, (her husband) adopts this attitude of indifference, preferring to concentrate on his job instead. the whole novel is presented in the form of two diaries and really highlights the difference between the male and the female gender. it's really quite funny although it can be cynical and sarcastic at times too(esp when sam toks abt his job and attributes his indifference to hw he honestly felt that having a baby is more of a way of life rather than a "must" and hw every baby kinda looks like a monkey to him).

all in all, i quite enjoyed the novel even though it's a bit trashy. well... i guess dat's abt it for my weekend. life can be quite boring at times. i think maybe i shld go for a holiday one day. i dun c much to look forward to esp when i have a driving lesson scheduled on a gd friday morning...haizz...

"review" of my week

2005-03-14T06:20:00.000-08:00

hmmm... if i can rate my weekend like a movie critic, i think i will give it three and a half stars out of five. it's generally a slightly better than avg weekend(actually, ani weekend dat dun require me to work is already a pretty gd one). i went to catch the movie robots. hmmm.... frankly speaking, the animations are pretty good and the robots are really cool in the sense that they look rather realistic. i m sure ani child will luv this delightful creation so i guess the problem lies with the fact that i m above twelve and thus find the storyline a bit shallow. there's almost nothing new. it's another story abt hw gd will triumph over evil or hw underdogs can defeat the powerful and the rich(i heard this a thousand times b4). thus, i m less than amused by the movie(i still prefer finding nemo or sharks tale). hmmm... actually, come to think of it, it's quite similar to shark's tale. i guess i prefer marine life to robots:p

well.. after the movie, i went to an IT fair. it was more interesting than i thought. they have a whole lot of coms, digital camera, software etc etc etc. it was pretty crowded but i managed to get a few pamphets. i m currently looking thru one of them. there's juz this cute printer which has a price that fits my budget. i have been looking for a printer for ages coz i think the printer in my room has lost it's ability to print quite some time ago(dun ask me.. i dunno y i still keep it in my room.) there were a few pc games on sale too namely the SIMS family two but it costs a bomb so i guess unless i strike lottery or something, i m nv going to part with my "hard-earned" money juz for a pc game. it's juz not worth it.

after the IT fair, i went to maxwell for dinner with jinjie. hmmm... the porridge there is really quite nice. bussiness at that porridge stall is rather brisk too. they sell quite a wide variety of different porridge. i dun mind going there once more juz to try the porridge again. hmmm... the oni problem is i dun really noe hw to go and i m nt really a fan of alley cats(we met a few alley cats on the way there). apart frm this, part of the area also looks like a mini red light district with dark corridors complete with gers standing outside some of the pubs located along the alleyways.

we were too tired so we went home after dinner. i think sat was the best day of the week:) sun was spent at the library at orchard where i did some reading. i reached home quite early but met derrick at the bus stop near my house. we chatted for quite some time(he actually remembered he owes me ten bucks!) and then went home.

today is monday again... a new start to a new week... looking forward to friday nite... hope it comes soon...

quick glance at my week...

2005-03-11T07:03:00.000-08:00

wow.... it has been a long time since i update my blog. hmmm... let's see... i guess i had been busy with my application to NTU and NUS. i have to find out which courses i m eligible for(my results are really borderline, to put it subtly) after which i got to fill out those forms (they even ask me whether i was born into my religion or nt! i can't even rem myself.!) those forms were really the pits. it took me three hrs to fill them out for both unis. i tot of applying to SMU again but since the oni thing i can rem abt them is their foodcourt(their foodcourt provides a variety of veri nice food:p), i decided that it's nt worth my time and effort to fill out another set of forms and spend time going for their interview again like last year. i spent another day printing out the relevant documents and sending it over. in fact, i juz made payment over the ATM machine down my house. hopefully they will receive it and give me a reply as soon as possible(waiting is an agony esp for impatient ppl like me).

hmmm.... i guess one of the few interesting things dat took place this week is my lunch with kim at siam kitchen. the food there is nt exactly cheap but it's relatively economical compared to some other places. their serving is really quite generous(it's either this or that i have a really small appetite) and since we r students(student as in i have got my student pass with me even though it expired two yrs ago), we got a twenty percent discount off the items in the menu. in the end, i think the bill oni adds up to 16.80 inclusive of GST and service charge. so it was 8.40 per person which i think is veri "value for money" considering the fact that a simple meal at a fast food restaurant costs around 5-6 bucks nowadays.

well... b4 i sound like i m advertising for siam kitchen, i think i shld change the topic. can't really rem much abt hw i spend this week. it's a miracle hw i managed to survive my monday blues and reach the end of the week. oh ya... by the way, i juz remembered something worth mentioning abt. poy called me today b4 he went for his driving test. ok... i m nt trying to be mean but i was in a pretty cranky mood when he called coz i already have the feeling dat he's going to pass(PS: i dun need another MALE fren of mine to pass and then call me up to "chat". it juz makes me feel stupid which i hope i m nt:p) aniway... congrats to u poy! i noe u will be reading this. i admit i m (a bit) jealous so even though u kinda "ruined" my morning, i managed to convince myself that ur tester is 1) either gay, 2) one of those gender bias "uncles" who thinks oni guys can drive and 3) u r juz lucky:p so all in all, i dun feel DAT stupid animore and wanna let u noe dat ur call today acts as an inspiration for me to pass my driving test which is at the end of this month:p i mean wat r frens for except to inspire and motivate one another like wat u have done rite?:p haha....:p

i think dat's enough. haha, the previous paragraph really reeks of sarcasm. hmmm... but will really try my best to pass this time coz 1) i wasted (a lot of) $$$ 2) i wasted time 3) i dun think my instructor really wants to c me for another three months 4) wat is left of my fragile ego cannot withstand another "failure":p

hmmm... i guess dat's abt it for this week. gotta go and shower nw. take care guys:)

life's like that

2005-03-07T03:48:00.000-08:00

today was a normal day for me like ani other day except that i was extremely tired(as compared to last week). i had two coffee and a red bull b4 i finally felt better which explains y i m blogging instead of sleeping nw.

well.. yesterday was quite a tiring day. my day always turn out to be tiring whenever it starts with a driving lesson. i went out to bugis after my driving lesson. juz as i was eating at one of the many hawker centres there, i saw sherlynn and bryan. sherlynn seem extremely perky whereas bryan looked quite different in his army uniform(i almost didn't recognize him:p) juz like my many weekends, i drop by the esplanade with my bf after dinner and went home at nine something coz it started to drizzle and both of us were relatively tired already.

i reached home at around eleven, watched some tv and chatted with a few of my frens on msn while viewing their blogs. jerome's blog was the most "unique"(as usual). so i ask him abt his blog and we chatted for quite a while until i started dozing off(i will nv have my driving lessons at nine on a weekend again...)

well... dat's all for yesterday. really didn't have much to say abt today. life goes on. take care guys. maybe next time i shld blog on the weekends oni. my weekdays are juz so dull(y can't we have five days of rest and two days of wrk instead?) k.. well... one can oni hope, i guess:P

another morning... another day...

2005-03-05T19:17:00.000-08:00

hmmm... juz woke up and had my driving lesson today... seriously i really dunno wat gt into me when i book my driving lesson last week. i think there muz be some mistake coz i had to wake up at 7:30am today juz to go for the lesson at 9. the lucky thing is, i think my instructor is a morning person(he even bought me coffee today!) so there i was, sipping coffee, half aslp ( it was raining so i figured out dat given the rain, i couldn't c much even if i keep my eyes wide open and stay real alert) and driving at a relatively safe speed limit of 60km per hr.

driving lesson ended pretty fast today. i did some parking which was quite montonous while my instructor had his breakfast. there were the usual irritating bus/taxi/motorcar drivers who overtake/honk at me but i was too tired to make much of a response.(haha, ususally when a taxi driver honk at me on a one way street, i will simply slow down. my instructor tinks i m slowing down to let them overtake. actually... i was hoping dat slowing down will irritate them coz they r irritating me in the first place:P)

hmmm... there's nothing much for today coz the day juz started. i guess i was tired today coz i went out with huiping and esther yesterday. to start of with, i was a bit wary of esther. i heard some "not so complimentary things" abt her at pizza hut frm a no. of ppl but i tried my best to treat her without ani preconceived notions after huiping told me dat she's quite a nice person. actually, i quite enjoy my day for yesterday. we went shopping at bugis and had our lunch at swensens. it was a veri nice lunch. they have a set meal for three at 33 bucks inclusive of drinks. they also have this promotion where u can order three scoop of ice cream at 3.30 provided that u order a main course (it was quite worth it coz the range of ice cream u can choose frm is quite diverse).

after dat we went to catch the movie "hitch". it was a "feel good" kinda movie. it's abt this date doctor acted out by Will Smith who believes that ani guy has a chance with ani ger. so throughout the movie, we see guys who r clumsy, dorky, unattractive getting gers who r gorgeous, rich with a to-die for figure... all with the help of the date doctor. hmmm... i kinda like the movie. it's a bit like a modern fairy tale with chunks of humour. there's nothing memorable abt it though unlike "finding neverland" or "the village" where u r emotionally "pulled" into the story. hitch is a movie which most guys at one pt at another can relate to and dat's y i think every guy shld catch it to bring some "glimmer" of hope into their lives:p

after the movie, i wanted to go home already(coz i made a lot of purchases n i wanna stash them away b4 my mum reach home and questions me abt them) but huiping passed by kino and badly wanted to search for a magazine featuring her favourite actor. so we stayed there for quite a while after which we went home. i really quite enjoyed my day. esther proves to be quite a nice person although she was a bit queer when she left kino without us(she was already at the MRT station when huiping called her to ask her where she was -_-") maybe she tot we left without her...

well... i think i better go nw. was supposed to meet veron today but she had an eye infection at the last min. if u r reading this, hope u r ok nw. we can still go out next week. take care:)

wat m i thinking?

2005-03-03T07:32:00.000-08:00

hmmm... today is juz like yesterday. i was feeling a bit under the weather. i received a few smses in the afternoon. there was this male fren of mine who kinda complained to me abt his gf. he told me she gets jealous easily. hmmm.... i did reply to the first few msges but after that i didn't reply already coz i really dunno wat he's complaining abt. it's normal for a ger who likes u to be jealous if u look at other gers or tok abt other beautiful gers in front of her. actually... if u r reading this.... i veri honestly feel dat u shld be worried if ur gf is nt jealous.i think she's normal. at least u noe she cares:)

well... there's really nothing much for today. work was boring. i dun really like to wrk(like everybody else). i went out to orchard after wrk. i was a bit late coz the (stupid) bus driver didn't stop when i pressed the bell. i dun normally curse but a motorcyclist nearly knock me down when i was crossing the road after i got off the bus ( i HATE motorcyclists. they can't drive. they either almost knock me down when i m crossing the road or sneak in behind me when i forget to check my blind spots while driving... humph!) i met my him after dat. we went for dinner followed by pool. i won one game out of three after which we left(juz in case u r wondering... i m nt a gd loser. i will oni leave the pool house willingly after i win at least a game). after the pool game, i suddenly had a craving for ice cream so we each had one from seven eleven. actually, i was qutie tired after the game but juz dun feel like going home coz i got to complete some stuff dat i dun really wish to start on. it was ten something by the time we finished those ice cream so we went home after dat.

so here i m... sitting in front of the com blogging while thinking abt hw i m going to finisht the task b4 me... haizz... think gotta stay up real late to complete it.... well... gotta go... take care everyone:)

apprehensive...

2005-03-02T02:21:00.000-08:00

haiz... it has been a long time since i blogged. i feel moody for some reason today. maybe it's the weather. maybe it's juz nt my day...

there's nothing much to blog actually. i saw shi wei sometime along this week. she told me she flunked her driving test on her first try too(i m really starting to think dat maybe guys are really better on the road than gers.) we started toking abt our first three month days and stuff like dat. i think she's doing quite well now. i told her i will nt be studying if i can't get into NUS or NTU this year and she seems shocked. i mean i do miss sch a bit. at least life was simpler but i figured out dat if i can't get into the course i want, there's no pt in studying. i dun want to study for the sake of studying(waste money, waste time).

the 'A' level results r going to be released again. haha... can still rem the time when i was feeling so jittery last yr. i hope every one whom i noe will get the results they desire. i m actually nt confident at all abt getting into NUS or NTU but i think i shld give it another shot. apply n leave it all to God, i guess.

hmmm.... on a happier note, i m meeting my frens for this weekend. it has been a long time since we really spend some time together. i m meeting veron this sun for a movie since her bday which was like Feb. haha... i miz u:p sori abt the fact that i had to hang up abruptly whenever u called me up to chat:p

well... dat's abt it. i think i will go get some rest nw. still feeling a bit moody for some reason... hope everyone is having a great day though:)

relaxing day

2005-02-26T06:06:00.000-08:00

hmmm... to start off with, i was supposed to go out with someone today but we did nt managed to meet coz he gt something on. i was quite disappointed coz i was almost out of the door already.(he's really lucky he called me b4 i got out). after dat, i signed onto msn and chatted for a while, then made my own lunch which consists of campbelle soup(it's mushroom with seafood this time!), lays potato chip(remembering my diet that's almost non existent, i bought the smallest packet available), ritz biscuits(the cheese is really gd even if it's fattening), a few slices of egg omlette with luncheon meat, one packet of yupi yummy worms(i like the chewy feeling. it's the next best thing after chewing gum was banned) and some peel fresh vege juice. overall, it was one of my best lunch ever coz no one is there to nag abt the (lack of) nutrition:P i muz have overestimated my hunger(i really tot i was hungry enough to finish everything) so i refrigerate wat was left of the campbelle soup(which later makes up for my dinner) and dozed off after dat.

it wasn't really a deep slp but i nv tot i was this tired. i slept a whole lot and woke up oni an hr b4 to finish up the campbelle soup(which i m quite sick off by nw) along with tom yam (flavoured cup) noodles followed by some ice cream(comes in unique flavour of yam and coconut). so here i m, sitting here and blogging after my dinner. i think although today is one of the few days dat i nv went out, i dun feel bored at all. in fact, i feel rather relaxed at home alone. my sis did come back in the afternoon but she was busy studying until dinner time when (being the kind person dat i m:P) i offered her some campbelle soup. so we had a nice chat abt relationships and stuff. we both agreed dat love is blind, that sweet toking shld be kept to an acceptable level in a relationship and dat guys can be a bit "insensible" at times.

i guess dat's all for today. i wanna finish the letter i was writing this afternoon to fathima. it has been some time since i wrote to her. miz u dear! hope u receive my e mail.(if u r reading, i did buy a christmas card for u last yr but by the time i wanna send it to u, it was already chinese new yr). really sori abt it and i really luv the christmas card u sent me:)

playing pool...

2005-02-25T08:09:00.000-08:00

hihi.. it's finally Friday! well... i guess i really had a good day(after wrk:P)haha... actually wrk wasn't dat bad coz kim was ard. thanks kim for that handphone game! well, back to the pt, i was supposed to meet huiping after wrk for pool and we did meet up along with someone as well. it started with dinner at pizza hut. the fish os were nt too bad, the cream of chicken was a bit salty but the drumlets were really quite nice. throughout the meal, we kinda tok abt a no. of stuff (mostly abt pizza hut). it was a bit awakward at first but huiping and dat someone eventually hit it off and got along quite well.

we went to play pool after dinner... hmmmm... it was a gd game(for them). basically, out of all the games we played, i lose every single game either to huiping or him. (i told huiping i m going to blog so if i dun put thisdown, she mite tink dat i m still sore over losing:P) but at least everyone had a gd time. actually, i didn't lose too badly though someone won most of the games(n he say he dunno hw to play one...:P) i lose oni abt two to three balls so overall it was quite ok although i still feel dat i could have at least won a game to boost (wat is left of) my confidence:P

hmmm... actually after the game of pool tonite, i realized that maybe i need more practice coz my aiming is really like way off (the holes nv seem to be big enough whenever i play). but aniway, i tried my best liao. apart frm the fact that my aiming sucks and that i hit the ball with the force of a dead fish, i think i m doing quite fine(yes... juz in case u r wondering, i m consoling myself:P)

hmmm... suddenly feel a bit tired. muz be all the stretching and analyzing i did at the pool table(it's all abt angles they say...) i think i m gonna slp nw. anione out there who thinks she can't play pool even if her life depends on it is free to msg me. maybe we can get together and play a game or two one of these days:P nitez!

montonous...

2005-02-23T06:31:00.000-08:00

today is juz like ani other weekdays.... boring n dull... my day started at 7:30am when i woke up and ended at 9:30pm after i went for (yet another stupid) driving lesson. dat's y i m enjoying wat is left of my day after i reached home. the first thing i did was to switch off my hp coz 1) it has got oni one bar of batt left 2) i m too tired to reply to msges but will feel bad if i dun reply to them and 3) my hp bills are escalating so i figure out dat i shld switch off my hp to discourage myself frm using it. well... i figured out dat if i m too tired to return msges, i will prob be too "tired" to switch on my hp once i switch it off:P

oh ya... i m supposed to tok abt my day here... but really... nothing much happened. lemme see... hmmm... i met derrick on the LRT today. he looked really gd today and i was surprised and happy to c him nt b coz he looked better than usual due to the way he dress but coz he STILL owns me ten bucks.(i m normally a veri forgetful person but when it comes to money, i never fail to forget:P) so we said hi and i ask him whether he has ten bucks with him which regretfully(for me of coz) he hasn't.. haizz... tot i was gonna be ten bucks richer when i saw him:P

i went for wrk after dat... nothing much happened. i was supposed to be on a diet... but had rice for lunch followed by curry puffs which ended with half a bottle of root beer with vanilla ice cream (too sweet for my taste). after my wrk ended, i had dinner at kfc. i decided on the banditto pocket set meal coz i dun want to use my bare hands to eat those chicken (somehw the oil oni gets off ur hands after u wash it with a substantial amount of soap). there was still time after dinner so i walk ard lot one a bit and remembered dat i dun have ani loose change with me. i always make it a pt to pay for my driving lessons with the exact amount of cash (coz my instructor mite nt have chg and this will lead him to "owe" me money. ani sane person won't want dat to happen when she's out of cash). so i went to old chang kee n bought two sticks of fish balls to get some loose change and guess wat? i m eating them nw while sipping my coke( ya... i noe... my diet is NV going to wrk)

hmmm... i think dat's abt it for my day... really nothing much to tok abt... feeling too tired nw to even chew on those fish balls:P well.... take care guys! cya:)

another lousy day...

2005-02-21T07:23:00.000-08:00

hmmm... dunno wat to blog today. yesterday was in quite a bad mood so did nt blog. the reason was partly due to my driving lesson. my instructor is really really veri unappreciative of my effort. he says i drive like a drunkard and dat my driving skills are oni average(luckily i dun have much pride). i m not saying dat wat he's saying is totally untrue(there's some grain of truth in it) but he could have phrased it in a more encouraging manner. maybe something along the lines of "i m certain u will pass ur driving lesson if the tester is in a gd mood" will set my day on the right note. it's really nt easy to wake up at nine juz to go for driving lessons nt to mention the fact that i have to pay 39 bucks to get scolded.

after my crappy driving lesson, i went to meet someone who was late for twenty minutes(i hope he dun c this coz i already complained on the day itself liao. it will make me sound petty if he sees me complaining on my blog again:P) we went to catch a movie n stuff. the movie itself is relatively funny but somehw i was nt really in the mood to watch. after the movie, we went straight home coz he has to go to sch early the next day. hmmm... then after dat i did something not so nice bahz coz really feeling a bit insecure abt where this relationship is going. so being the rash person that i m, i juz msg him n ask him stupid qnes. i think relationships all take time and dat it's impt to be frank to each other. i hope i m nt overly frank though. i juz have this tendency to speak my mind but i think everything is more or less fine now.

sometimes i think i m nt understanding enough n dat there are still a lot of things i have to learn but i think i did try my best. haha... i called up huiping and veronica to chat yesterday nite after the movie. both of them didn't have much advice to give but we still tok for quite some time(actually i m nt really sure as to wat we were toking abt. i oni remembered parts of it.) after toking to them both, it was quite late already so i went to bed so as to put an end to this lousy day.

today starts on a brighter note (for one thing i dun have driving lesson). although i was late for wrk but nothing really major happen so everything is kinda ok. kim was also there at wrk to keep me out of my boredom. overall, this is a gd but boring day but definitely an improvement frm the previous two days:)

can blog again!

2005-02-19T06:26:00.000-08:00

it has indeed been a long time since i blogged. the truth is i think i left some impt events out when i was unable to log in during that period of time.

hmmm... i dun tink i will make up for lost time coz it's gonna take a veri long time for me to describe those few days so i will instead start it off with today. well... it could have been a veri gd day today except that i hafta wrk... i badly wanted to skip wrk so i called huiping and being the sensible person dat she is, she persuaded me nt to skip it(her logic being wrk is gd coz we can earn more money whereaa we will surely spend money if we go out). after dat, juz as i was changing into my pizza hut uniform, huiping called me and this time it was she who said she didn't want to wrk. i gotta admit that i made no effort to persuade her to wrk and we tried to come with plausible excuses to skip wrk(actually, i think given the number of times i skip wrk, ani excuses that i come out with is no longer "plausible" coz i simply skip too many times already). in the end, huiping decided to say dat her father had a dent in his car and that she will accompany him to the insurance company while i decided to say that i met up with an accident while having driving lessons yesterday. i think this lie has a twenty percent chance of deceiving when told convincingly but huiping thinks the lie is "not up to standard". so we spent the next half hour trying to "modify" our lies but gave up and went to wrk instead coz we figured out that the both of us missing for wrk on the same day is bound to arouse suspiscions no matter hw convincing our lie is:P

so there we were....(still) waiting for the bus (at twelve) when our shift starts at twelve at pizza hut. we were one hr late(unsurprisingly) and huiping forgot her wallet further dampening her mood. it turns out to be really boring at wrk. there were few customers and every min seems to drag on for eternity. when our shift finally ended, we went to causeway point to shop a little and then play a little pool. i lost three games out of four but it was a close game(most of the time.) my worst loss was when huiping won the game by three balls. overall it was one of my better games(considering the fact that i once lost seven balls to a guy). i was soooooo humiliated. (i noe i m not a gd player but there's no need for me to lose seven balls to prove this pt.)

hmmm... guess this is overall a gd day though i still feel dat i could have skipped wrk to make my day a better one:P

birthdays

2005-02-13T08:18:00.000-08:00

hihi... this has been a few tiring days... first of all it was veronica's bday. i got her a cream coloured pouch at the wallet shop. i quite like the colour myself actually. it's really nice with a glossy surface. i was contemplating getting one for myself if i weren't so poor:P

well... we met at orchard on the 12th of feb. her bday is on the 14th of feb but i guess it's going to be weird for us to celebrate it on the day itself. it's gonna be weird to see couples holding hands while a grp of us hangs out together. we went to seoul garden for lunch. i hafta say that the food there didn't really entice me much. i ate a lot of chicken for the sake of eating it coz i dun wanna waste my money. the only thing dat's nice is probably the mango ice cream but i was too full after all those chicken dat i couldn't finish the ice cream(which mite be as well coz i can already feel my stomach bloating beneath my jeans after all those chicken).

we went to watch constantine after lunch. i had the worst experience of my life there. the movie is really gd... it has made it to my list of "favourite movie of all times" which includes movies like "taxi" and "the village". but the REAL prob is we brought the tickets at 2:30 for a show at 2:45 N we bought it at LIDO where there was a long quene which is y we ended up with front row seats. i gt really dizzy halfway during the movie n even contemplated moving to the stairs to sit( come to think of it, it's no wonder that i have a feeling dat i was overcharged when i pay my $8.50)

well... i left early dat day coz i was meeting someone for dinner. we watched constantine again (i dun mind coz i really liked the movie) and then kinda had supper at swensens. the chocolate crunch is really nice. l loved it. we had some fries. in the end the bill oni came up to a reasonable 12 something and we were the second last customer to leave the place. hmmm... juz to let him noe, i really enjoyed my time with him last nite:)

there's still a lot of things i haven't blogged yet but guess i gotta do it another day coz i hafta slp early... still have to wake up early tml... k.... going off now. have a happy valentine's day tml to all who r reading this:P

drained

2005-02-10T06:36:00.000-08:00

it's been a really tiring day today. i woke up, wrked at pizza hut then went home. work today is really really really boring... i was quite restless throughout dat five hrs. in the end, i asked to leave early and left with xueting. she is meeting up with her family to visit relatives while i m supposed to have dinner with my family.

my family and i went to the pizza hut outlet at causeway pt in the end( i noe. no creativity rite? but dat's the oni place i can think of.) i finally tired the double ring gold crust pizza. i prefer the sweet potato to the ring of cheese. the ring of cheese is juz too salty n greasy for my taste liao. after having two slices of that pizza, i drowned down two glasses of pepsi and a glass of sprite ice after i reached home(there goes my diet...). dinner with family at pizza hut is nt really wat i will call conducive coz the place is really veri crowded and all the staff seems really busy and preoccupied but overall we still had a relatively gd time.

well... i guess dat's all for today. i m really feeling veri tired even as i m blogging... gotta go... nitez.

this day rocks!

2005-02-09T09:16:00.000-08:00

i love this day! it's like the best day of this yr! u noe hw my mum says she will give me twenty bucks? she didn't. she gave me 50 instead! my dad gave me 50 bucks too! so when i woke up, i was like 100 bucks richer. i tot dat my mum was really gonna give me 20 bucks so i went to fill in my wrk schedule b4 hand at pizza hut coz today is double pay day...

ok... i noe i m being practical here... so after realizing i was 100 bucks richer, let's juz say dat there is less incentive for me to wrk and i was really tempted to go back to slp and say dat i m sick. but i did not do dat to salvage wat is left of my reputation... so in the end, i went to pizza hut n when i first step in, i was shocked. most of the staff were malays except me! i was the only chinese staff doing service... i think the malay staff at pizza hut are generally quite nice and friendly but it juz feels weird to be the oni chinese there. like a bit extra like dat... poy was also there but he's nt a staff. he's a manager lohz... so my mood was a bit down in the first hr... i juz spent it walking ard(the restaurant was quite empty, it's oni ard half full) and chatting with the malay staff abt daily topics (they mostly asked abt my presence at pizza hut instead of at home which i have no ans for apart frm the fact that i m in need of some cash and dat experiece tells me money dun juz grow on trees. i put the idea to them in a nicer way of coz...:P)

well.... wrk today is quite easy coz xueting was there in the 2nd hr... then it was quite fun. we toked and chatted quite a lot. i did salad in the afternoon.it's really an easy job, u juz top up wat U THINK is nt enough. this really means dat if u r busy, u can choose nt to top up on certain stuff by deluding urself dat it's enough while if u r free, i can choose to top up on everything coz everything doesn't seem to be enough:p

the restaurant gt busy at nite though but i was the drink server which is also another easy job frm my pt of view. u juz serve drinks and take minimal orders. well... all in all, life is really smooth going. oh... n one thing worth talking abt is that auntie margarat gave us an ang bao with ten bucks! i noe she prob wouldn't be reading this but thanks! i think it's really generous of her to do dat. i wonder whether i will receive ang baos frm eric but too bad he's wrking on friday:P haha... maybe can ask huiping to receive it on my behalf though i dun think she is wrking:P

well... think i m gonna slp nw... still gotta wrk tml... getting a bit tired too... oh... b4 i go... thanks to huiping,li ann, dave, rena, yuhui and kenn for being the first few to wish me a happy new yr via sms and also the person who spent new yr's eve with me. i tot i will write it in my blog since ur make the effort to msg me. take care guys and may this yr be a fruitful one for u too:)

blogging for the sake of it:P

2005-02-08T00:52:00.000-08:00

finally! it's new yr's eve. i m happy today even though i m tired. it must have been the anticipation of the new yr and the money(ya... i m pretty money-minded esp when i m poor). my mum already told me she is going to give me 20 bucks tonite. it's not much but ever since i started wrking, i realized dat any money dat comes ur way without ani effort on ur part is a god send(ya... juz in case u r wondering, i m nt oni money-minded, i can be lazy too:P). haha... maybe i m poor b coz i m lazy. i oni wrk five days a week and oni wrk on the 6th day when i really have to(eg. i saw a new skirt dat i REALLY like n my "emergency fund" is running to a dangerous low due to those driving lessons). it's juz too much bother to wake up too early to wrk on the sixth day unless there is free food. i guess dat's y i wrk at pizza hut where free food is guaranteed.

well... there is nothing much to say today coz it's oni the afternoon except dat i m quite sleep deprived. i think it's coz of that steamboat nite when i slept at 5pm. i reached home at 11 something on sun nite n fell rite aslp even though i had coffee at delifrance in the afternoon( i think starbucks still serve the best coffee). i went to catch finding neverland on sun. it was quite a touching movie but it kinda fell short of my expectations. everyone said it was a gd movie. the critics gave rather gd previews abt it juz like the aviater. the aviater is quite ok actually. the prob is i dunno why i wanted to catch it. i mean i did noe more abt huges howard. he's an impressive man. leonardo dicapro is gd looking. dat's abt it. it's a pity dat he became insane in the end n that he is left unmarried(serves him rite for being so undevoted and so adept at starting affairs.) back to finding neverland, i think the plot is kinda gd. the one actor who leaves the deepest memory within me is dat little kid who doubts the wonders of imagination. i think life has been unfair to him by taking his father away but still it's sad to c a child who refused to allow imagination into his world. in the end, the character who johnny depp is acting out developed a successful play out of his own imagination and presented it to the widow(kate winslet) and her children who he spent a lot of time with every afternoon and with whom provided the inspiration for his play. the widow died though with johnny depp promising to take gd care of her children. the movie is really adept at contrasting the harshness of reality with the surrealism of imagination. i think dat explains for those really gd reviews other than the "not so bad" acting put up by the leading actor and actress.

kk... i think i better sign out b4 my blog sounds like a movie review. i m gonna catch seoul raiders tonite. dun have high expectations for it but tickets for the constantine is almost sold out at all cinemas. take care guys and kim... thanks for giving me a ride home today. ur driving is quite gd already n dun wry, i wasn't "traumatised" by the experience. i m more "traumatised" when i m driving myself:P

reunion dinner

2005-02-05T20:31:00.000-08:00

hi there... juz woke up today. yesterday was a really fun but tiring day for me... we had a reunion dinner at pizza hut. it lasted until abt 3 something for me so when i reached home it was already four. i wonder hw huiping. weiting, xueting, huisi they all can still stay relatively wide awake after two in the morning. haha.. think maybe i m really getting old liao. i can still remember the days when i can stay up until seven something in the morning just to study but come to think abt it, i practically live on coffee during dat period of time.

actually, the reunion dinner was quite fun coz i kinda help to get the food for the dinner with poy n dexiang. we went to a few places. haha... throughout the journey to and frm pizza hut i learn a few things. i think dexiang is either a veri gd driver or a veri bad driver. i hope he dun c this but he really uses a lot of vulgarities on the road. it's nt wrd by wrd one... it's like one whole string like dat. i hear already also quite stunned coz my cursing is nv fluent. even when i m veri tired n lerthargic and "got bullied" on the road, i will also keep quiet until really cannot stand it liao n then curse. but my cursing is also limited to "wat the fuck" and "wat the hell". there are a couple more "innovative" ones but i can only remember them when i m really really pissed off which is nt often. haha... i l tink the previous time when i cursed on the road was when this really irritating, stupid, idiotic car juz raced ahead of me and stopped RIGHT in front, blocking MY path. it's like he really think i m a veri gd driver izzit? can't c my "L" plate ah? in the end i had to jam the brakes with my instructor pulling up the handbrake. n when i finally steer myself away frm behind him into the next lane after he moved forward a little, i really can't help but look at the idiot driving while passing HIM(i capitalised the wrd to justify the fact dat man can also be drivers frm hell) n the wrds "bloody hell of a driver" juz came out.

aniway, back to the reunion dinner, poy n i went back to pizza hut to prepare the food. ken did help out too. aunty margaret also help us cut up the food and huiping did come down to help out in the end. seriously, i wasn't much help. the one who help the most shld be aunty lee, the bar auntie. she gave a lot of suggestions and those suggestions really did come in useful. haha... but while helping, i also learn a lot of things. i cut my first piece of tofu. i nv like cutting them... even when i m cooking instant noodles, i also put the whole thing inside n let it boil coz it's soft. in the end, the whole thing went along smoothly apart frm the fact that we were short of one wok and that we have gt to wait until all the malay staff left b4 we started it. actually, i also feel a bit paiseh when the malay staff asks abt wat we were doing when we were cutting up food. it's like nt veri nice nt to have invited them.

yesterday was also fun coz i saw a lot of ppl whom i haven't seen in a long time to come. haha.. actually due to the fact that i haven't wrked in the past one mth, there were a lot of ppl who i haven't seen in a while. there was also kong xin and jasmine whom i hadn't seen in quite some time. there was also a no. of faces who i was vaguely familiar with n all of whom i connected with poy. all in all, it was a sumptumous dinner. we managed to kinda persuade eric to drive us home and i talked a whole lot of crap to prevent myself frm sleeping throughout the journey. as usual, those crap includes jokes abt my driving. BUT nvm. i still believe in myself even if no one believes dat i m gonna ace my driving test this time:P

well... hafta go nw b4 it starts to rain. i m going to catch neverland at plaza singapura today... heard the movie is gd. cya:)

my first entry!

2005-02-04T18:21:00.000-08:00

hi there.. this is my first entry. i figured out dat i shld get a blog coz everyone is getting one(pretty brainless, i noe) i m getting pretty bored after having my breakfast today. still got some time b4 i can make my way slowly to pizza hut to wrk. life can be so crappy at times... i seriously think dat i m the kind of person dat really dun like to wrk. haha... maybe i m the kind that prefers money to fall frm the sky but even then i think i will also be too lazy to pick up.

this is a new yr for me. already twenty liao... gt a lot of things haven't do yet so a bit stressed. then also a bit sleep deprived. maybe dat's y everything seems to get on my nerves nowadays bahz... yesterday juz argue with my sis.. nv really noe my sis n my thinking can be quite different. maybe it's coz my sis is an extrovert while i m an introvert bahz. it's seems as if she one day won't tok to ppl will die like dat while i m quite ok juz to sit down quietly to read a bkn chew on some chips one.

haizz.. think gotta go liao... if nt late again.. maybe will blog in again tonite:p
