So I finished my hell week, but I didn't take out time to blog because there's nothing interesting happening anyway. Maybe there is, but I didn't take any photos so I can't remember.

I really need to use my camera more often.

Oh and I dyed my hair like 3 weeks back?

It's not so red already, in fact it's the colour I wanted it to be in the first place. But I guess in a week's time it will probably change again. Feel like having a colour change again though, was thinking dark brown with streaks of gold :)

Had an extremely unproductive weekend, I think I slept most of it away. Feeling slightly down because T is currently on a flight to Chicago now and I won't get to see him till Oct 5 *pouts

In the past, I used to think that couples who spent all their time together are stupid and they should get their own lives. But now, I just wanna spend ALL my time with him, or at least 90% of it. I just feel more at peace with him around, even if he's in the next room working.

When there's that person that can't stand to be away from you and you from them... that's REAL love, not just a fairytale -TLS

2010-09-19T18:33:00.002+08:00

I finally have the time to sit in front of my laptop and drift a little. This past week has been lecture week, AKA hell week.

7 days of lectures consecutively. And work has been extremely busy the past week!

Thankfully lectures are over. In 4 weeks time, I am to finish reading 34 papers/textbook chapters and complete my 3000word essay. In 5 weeks time, I would have to sit for an exam.

For now, I have to start on my first reading and prepare for the presentation tomorrow.

I miss spending time with T.

Day8-Akihabara + Home!

2010-09-10T17:38:00.004+08:00

I had wanted to go to a maid cafe but I didn't do any research about it beforehand. And all the days I was in Tokyo, it was at the back of my mind since I had so many other places I wanted to visit too.

But Ken's comment on FB reminded me that I had to go at least once, so T and I googled. Sunday was really a mad rush. I wanted to go back to Shibuya first to get my Lush fix, so T went to Akihabara to find out the exact location of the maid cafes.

There's a lot of maids giving out flyers and if you are interested, they will bring you to their cafe :)

And the one we went to was *drumrolls* THIS! even got girls greeting us before we enter the building.

If you notice, most of the crowd are guys. And this is the only time in Tokyo that I actually felt out of place. They stare at you as if you are some alien, and speak loudly as if they were criticising you. How I wish I could give them a slap to wipe the smirks off their face!

Anyway, as we were in a rush of time, we ordered a dessert set to share. It was damn ex, 1200yen for a normal cake and drink.

Oh well, the price we pay for experience ._.

We weren't supposed to take photos with the maids but she was new and didn't know the rules. Thank god we escaped paying LOL...

Rushed back to the hotel to catch the limo bus to the airport and there was a minor incident at the customs area. They didn't allow me to bring my Lush mask in since it's liquid. It's not liquid la, it's semi-solid. But thank god, we managed to check in another bag and I proudly present to you my Lush goodies!

There's my usual Mask of Magnaminty, plus a fresh-food mask which only last for 2 weeks, body scrub, body lotion and massage bars.

Yes, I am a lush addict! They all smell super yummy :D

And I was flipping through the on-flight magazine and casually pointed out a bracelet that I thought was nice since my previous one from KL (lousy thing) broke.

Ta-da! He usually isn't so attentive de lor hahahah....

All in all, I had an awesome trip. Honestly, I dont mind that I had to tour the place myself. In fact, it is much better because I get to do whatever I want at my own pace. Plus we still get to have dinner together every night :D

I wonder when's my next Tokyo trip. I need a holiday!

Day 6 - Disneyland

2010-09-10T09:45:00.022+08:00

YAY FINALLY! :D

Getting to Disney was a bit challenging, although we do not have to get out of the station to change to another company's railway, we still gotta walk a damn long way to the other line! Tokyo station is really huge, thank goodness for the signs along the way.

Very picture intensive post, enjoy!

I love Tinkerbell!

We saw a lady on our way in wearing the cutest hairband ever, and I wanted one too. So the first thing we did when we stepped into Disney was to go to their gift shop to get the perfect hair accessory.

as you can see, I get distracted easily. Instead of trying on hairbands, I tried on the shades first heh ;)

Totally regret not getting a Minnie cup! >:(

And the search for the hairband continues.............

Finally settled on being Marie Cat. Kawaii ^.^

Saw this girl decked in her outfit and couldn't resist asking her mom if I could take a photo of her. She shyly obliged and even "twisted" for me.

Disneyland is being divided into different lands. I didn't see any rides that interest me at all SIGH. So we just anyhow picked a few.

The ride was super boring -__-

Baby's favourite character! I never knew anyone who liked Dumbo.

Waited 45 mins for Peter Pan. It was a little cool with the lights and all. But not very smooth as there were way too many turns.

There were a lot of events happening on ground too.

I like the fact that each house was decorated exquisitely. Entering each house makes you feel like you really stepped into the character's world!

Hmm I rmb we stopped somewhere for a light lunch and had mickey-shaped nuggets. Too bad I didn't snap a photo of it.

And finally the much-awaited parade!

The shoes that accompanied for 8 days. It's only $30 for 2 if I never rmb wrongly. Totally digging ribbon flats!

My favourite part is the Disney Princesses appearance of course!

My favourite princess is Cinderella. What about urs? :)

Buzzlightyear is wayyyy cooler than Woody!

I would love to dress up as Tinkerbell for Halloween but how?!

Mickey's house had the longest q, so we went to Minnie's only.

We didn't wanna go on anymore rides, so we just chilled on a bench eating something that is long and yellow. No idea what is that called but it is yummy!

By the time we headed out, the sun had already set. I kinda regret not going to Disneysea, so perhaps next time. Actually, my whole point of going Disneysea is to get Duffy.

Isn't he cute?!!

Day 6 - Kyoto

2010-09-09T23:11:00.013+08:00

Woke up to change to go for breakfast with T (I am not that bad to let him eat by himself ALL the days k =x). Breakfast was awesome! Even had a bit of curry rice.

Went back to room for makeup and hair, and the usual camwhoring before heading out. Did not camwhore for the weekend since T was around and we had to rushhhhh.

Loving the fishtail braid!

The plan was for him to get back by 12noon for us to visit some shrines nearby and have lunch together but his meetings got delayed and blah :(

But thankfully, I am an independent lady so I got a map from the hotel and went to the nearby ones myself. Wanted to go 3, but didn't have the time. The weather was too hot for me to walk much. I would think that Kyoto is worse than Tokyo, why?

The first one I went to was Higashi-Honganji. I am going to just bombard you guys with the photos :)

You have to take off your shoes before entering, and it was very quiet inside. I even spent sometime in their auditorium! But it was all in Japanese without any useful subtitles so I left soon.

After I mustered enough courage to go out in the heat again, I started my journey to Nishi-Honganji.

It was a torturous ten minutes walk :( which is why I settled at the convenience store opposite Nishi-Honganji for some beer to cool myself down.

it looks so near yet so far T__T

I find this place prettier though but Higashi had more information, which I find more meaningful.

By then it was already 2plus, so I started to head back to the hotel. Took me about 15 mins to walk back. As we had a train to catch in the evening, we only managed to find time to go to one more place which was known to be one of the most famous temples in Kyoto!

Must walk ten minutes uphill FML.

And hereby, I present the first sights of Kiyomizu-Dera!

It was really pretty up there! And we got to go into this very dark place where they put a lot of statues. Must buy ticket ._.

It was really creepy in there, and we got to hold a rope at the end of the tour which supposedly connects us to the Gods so we can make any wishes (I THINK). I hope the Japan God will grant my prayers!

And we went for ice before leaving LOL. Flavoured shaved ice is damn addictive laaaa!

After that we took the train back to Tokyo. Returning back to Tokyo almost felt like returning home hahahah, think I got used to the life over there pretty fast. Kyoto was pretty, and very serene but it didn't feel like I belonged there.

I am a city girl at heart :)

Day5- Harajuku + Kyoto

2010-09-01T12:39:00.015+08:00

Feeling pretty bored of Tokyo already so was actually quite excited about the fact that we will be heading to Kyoto in the evening!

But due to the fact that I wasn't really feeling too good last night, I left the hotel very late again lol...

Destination for the day was Harajuku! Oh man, it was the only place that I didn't research much on so I have NO IDEA which exit to go to. Quite exciting though ;)

I forgot where I exit from, but I rmb I saw a lot of pretty girls walking there so I just followed. I thought it would lead to shopping streets but turns out that there is a concert of some sorts. Oh wells, bummers.

I just turned around and just walk wherever the streets lead me to. And it led me to:

LOL! Honestly, thinking back now, I have no idea why I was not afraid of getting lost!

I rmb Cheiko telling me that there was one street for the young, and the other is the high-end. I guess I ended up on the high-end =/

But they have prettily decocrated shops like this one below!

Mad expensive clothes though -_-

cute hello kitty ice-cream!

And I kept on walking.

I always have a bottle of water with me because it's important to keep hydrated! Well, the huge range of choices appeal too. I just wanna try every single drink!

Bought this drink because I keep seeing the ad on the trains. Get sucked into marketing tactics everywhere I go =x

cute dog! a bit pitiful though, it kept barking but nobody really paid any attention to it.

Was starting to feel a tiny bit frustrated, that I cant seem to find that particular street for the young. And was about to head back to the station (though I had no idea how), when I saw this!

FINALLY!!! :D

And my usual lunch rountine, find somewhere selling ice or ice-cream!

Very yummy! Strawberry milk shaved ice. Quite expensive though, if I never rmb wrongly it's 350yen which is around sgd$5.50. just for ice and some syrup! but i swear it taste mad good, especially in SUMMER (god i love using the word summer because it's really summer over there, not like singapore where there's only 1 pathetic season so when you say summer people look at you weirdly).

I didn't buy any clothes though, just got a cute bag and a pair of shades. The clothes there just didn't appeal to me. Idk why, I thought of bugis when I walked down the streets. There's a lot of cheap clothes, but it's super repetitive. I have no need for 100 summer dresses! I guess T's theory of "one is enough" is rubbing off me. Bet he will be happy to know that hahaha...

There's a lot of cosplay clothes though and I had fun looking at them! ;)

so tempted to get one of these skirts but I managed to resist! Absolutely no chance to wear in sg :(

no chance for these as well :(((( should have bought for halloween, dang!

Oh and check out a concept store that I chanced upon.

that's the fitting room! kawaii eh? their things come with a huge price tag too though =/

Also, there are tons of crepe stores around. I think Japanese really love crepes. Posted a photo of this particular crepe store and Tommy said that it's very famous! Too bad I didn't try it. Not that huge a fan of crepes.

And nearing the end, or rather the start of the street if you had exited correctly, I saw Daiso.

Their storefront is so bubblegum in Harajuku! It's blah in the shopping centres haha.

And I saw this cutest girl ever and I HAD TO TAKE A PHOTO WITH HER! I was actually circling the area a few times as she was talking to a shopkeeper. The caucasian dude approached her for a photo too after me lol...

I dont understand how can they stay so cool under such weather in the crazy costumes *shakes head*

After that T called to rush me, saying that we have a train to catch to Kyoto. He can really be a gan chiong spider. haha =x

Bullet train tickets are mad expensive! sgd200/ticket for one-way only. As T said "can buy return tickets for KL on budget airline already!" I can't stop laughing when I remember the look on his face when I threatened to throw his ticket away HAHAHA! thankfully, the ride was pretty comfortable.

<333

Reached the hotel which was just at the train station. How convenient. The service was awesome, even better that Shinagawa Prince Hotel. The room was bigger too!

checking out the view.

We were on the 7 floor but we could see the train station and a tower somewhere.

Toiletries were better too!

I had been craving for curry rice but then Cheiko planned a Kyoto-style dinner for us so we decided to go ahead with that.

Outside the restaurant was this cute little thing!

Japanese only eat outside when it's summer. and I had a couple of beers!

No photos of food cuz it was very dark, and we were so hungry everything was snapped up pretty quick. A few special things I remembered were the sweet green pepper, yummy chicken neck and sticky rice :D

The bill came up to a little over 10,000 yen for the 3 of us =/

Headed back to the hotel after dinner but we decided to walk around that area. Told ya we love our walks lol...

In fact, I remember us buying more beer back to the room. And very yummy cheese snack.

Ta-da! Huge-ass photo cuz I enjoyed it soooo much heh ;)

oh man, I hope I can find this in Singapore!

Day 4 - Ueno + Shinjuku

2010-08-22T19:46:00.017+08:00

And the usual camwhoring before going out.

The sun is damn pretty to look at when you are in an air-con room. Even tried to be more jappy today. I think it totally works because everyone keeps talking to me in Jap! Most of the time they leave me alone.

Decided to head over to Ueno, for the museums because I kinda got bored with shopping.

OOOOH and I went into their library for a while! :D

It was all pretty cool. Felt as if I lived there, and just spending a normal afternoon.

Saw a quaint little place and I settled there for my mini lunch.

Mini right? It was really yummy!

but I kinda suspect my body has rejected the idea of lunching so I vomitted it out later on =/ what a waste *sighs

Before vomitting, I went to the Western Art Museum first. There were a few sculptures outside.

T kept making fun of The Thinker humph! He told me that previously in Uni, he and his classmates would joke and say that The Thinker is sitting on the toilet bowl and thinking about how to get toilet paper wtf.

Oh well, Western Art was fun but I didn't take a lot of photos. Plus they didn't allow us to in the Special Exhibition area which was showcasing masterpieces from the Museum of Capodimonte in Naples, from Renaissance to Baroque. It was really cool!

One of the main works on display was Parmigianino's Antea.

Really captivating in real life. I stared at it for quite some time myself, because I just can't pull myself away from it.

The normal exhibition was fun too, but not as cool of course.

Headed back into the sun to go to the National Museum.

Stopped at the entrance of the zoo but didn't enter. When I tell people (namely Cheiko & my customer) that I went to Ueno, they both asked if I went to the zoo.

And no, i did not. Because their main attraction the panda died. Plus, animals ain't really my thing *shrugs

Oh and the National Museum looked rather grand ;)

And the special exhibition on at that time was "The Birth of Chinese Civilization".

Oh btw, you have to pay extra for special exhibitions. Like around sgd15-20.

my tickets for the day

Feeling a bit sad that I didn't manage to finish everything because I wasn't feeling well >:( I headed back to hotel around 4 plus and took a quick nap before T came back.

And since he managed to finish everything rather early, we decided to head to Shinjuku together to check out Kabuchiko heh ;)

But first, we had the BEST meal (and cheapest omfg) at a tempura resturant on the streets.

Believe me, it's really good! Plus, my bowl was only 580yen. Totally much more worth than the stupid ramen which cost 600yen with a few pieces of pathetic charsiew!

haha and because of this ridiculously good tempura we had, we continued to have a few more tempura meals but it just wasn't as good. And it was much more expensive too.

Night time is very different from daytime so I'm glad we did come out for a walk :)

Kabuchiko!

saw a lot of yakuza and obviously dont dare to take photos of them. Later they drag me into one of their shops how?! Went into a few sex shops too. It was quite an experience indeed.

We didn't spend much time there because we were kinda afraid of the yakuza HAHAHA.

So back to the normal streets and searched for our bubbletea!

Found it after walking for damn long. And had to request for the waitress to help us use the vending machine to issue a ticket before she could start making our order.

It was kinda romantic sitting on a bench in front of that bubbletea van watching people walk by.

nights all ;)

Day 3 - Odaiba

2010-08-15T21:00:00.032+08:00

And so, I didn't bother waking up for breakfast with T because I was very tired! Now looking back, really feel that he must have felt very tired everyday. Gotta wake up early and attend so many meetings everyday =/

Anyway, I settled for these for breakfast.

Bought this Kate eyeshadow yesterday because I wanted my makeup to be more jap-looking hahaha!

The hotel room is so comfy that every single morning I have to drag myself out. I ish a homely person.

Still, it would be such a waste to fly to Tokyo and not go anywhere. Headed over to Odaiba. Was a bit nervous about going there because I had to go out of the train station and walk a bit to another train station blah blah but I still got it all figured out :D

And oh my, the train trip there on the Yurikamome is one that I would never forget. The view outside is dropdead gorgeous. Try imagining this, shiny waters with seagulls dancing on it, the rainbow bridge looking magnificent, and the dreamy ferris wheel in the backdrop. The sky is clear and blue, marshmallow clouds drifting slowly with the occasional plane passing by. I totally dig sights like this!

I was too busy admiring the view that I didn't take any photos =/

Even alighted at the wrong station la! Thank god for these fare adjustment machines.

I stayed in shopping malls most of the day because it was so hot!

Ice-cream for lunch! Weather killed my appetite most of the days.

But totally did not regret ordering this milk tea frozen custard, damn nice! The person was very service oriented too. Notice that I have a small spoonful of ice-cream on top?

That's because I had wanted to try the caramel vanilla flavor earlier on but he said he can't because it's caramel sauce on the vanilla ice-cream and it would drip all over. So when I finally decided on the flavor I want, he added this for me :D

Got 1 super chio jap girl sitting in front of me.

Headed up to the theme park.

KAWAII! ^_____^V

Little Hong Kong, which has nothing much.

There was another floor that sell all those quirky stuff and I had fun just looking around and buying little gifts for colleagues :)

Took the photo below for Fangyi!

I thought of walking across the rainbow bridge so I went out to check the weather but still! Too hot to cross =/ I seriously wonder how those people can stand having picnics on the man-made beach just below.

Headed over to another shopping centre which was much more boring!

Apparently there's some fireworks festival coming up and all girls are to be dressed in their kimonos/yukatas.

By the time it was breezy enough to walk across the rainbow bridge, I had to rush back to the hotel to accompany T for dinner already. Managed to snap a photo of it though ;)

Felt rather sad that I didn't have the chance to visit Venus Fort. Shall visit the next time roars*

And on the train ride back, the view was beautiful too!

Everytime I had to wait, I camwhore LOL...

Headed for shabu shabu somewhere near. It was delicious! We had opt for the free flow and had 3 plates of beef in total. Cost ~sgd$100 for the both of us. I do think it's rather expensive.

Oh and during our dinner, there was this group of Americans (we know cuz we asked) who spilt their bill right to the last cent. T was so surprised to learn that they were from the US cuz he said they dont behave this way back in the US. Oh wells, guess there's such people in all countries *shrugs

Day 2 - Shinjuku + Shibuya

2010-08-15T11:32:00.017+08:00

How does it feels waking up to a view like this with your loved one beside you?

Magically awesome ;)

The one thing I hate about joining tour packages is that you have to get up ridiculously early because the "bus is going to leave at 8am". As it was the first day of the week, I had to go for breakfast with T so that he could introduce me to the Japan manager. Just a short breakfast, before I excused myself back to the room while they continued with their meeting.

Slacked around a bit before I finally headed out.

The plan was..........actually I haven't decided on where to go till I reached the train station! haha...I had a list of places that I want to go, that's about it.

So in the end I decided to head to Shinjuku. Japan has an ezlink card system and one day passes which cost about 2400yen if I didn't remember wrongly. I opt for buying a ticket whenever I wanna take the train. It's a perfect opportunity for me to use up my coins!

There are a lot of signs around so just follow them to go to your desired line. Japanese dont rush into trains like Singaporeans, they allow people to alight first. Very refreshing to see that. Plus, they will always stand on the left side of the escalator, right side is strictly for those in a rush!

The streets were pretty empty and I didn't really know where I was. Just kept walking and popping into shops I find interesting. Like the hugeass forever21, where I saw these crazy oxfords!

Movies are damn ex in Tokyo, weekend tickets priced at 1800yen each which is a whooping ~sgd30!

I had wanted to go to Shinjuku Gyoen, a landscape park and was very excited as I neared it.

very important to keep yourself hydrated! Thank goodness there's vending machines everywhere.

But then I realised it was closed on Mondays. Bummer! Shld have researched properly =/

But I was alone, so it doesn't really matter. Phew! Decided to give up and head to Shibuya instead for shopping ^.^

There seems to be no people around the Hachiko Statue but there's actually a lot of people snapping photos of it!

Of course, 109. How to miss it?!!?

There's 9 levels of fashion shops. I took around 3 hours to complete it hahaha...It's a good place to learn about Japanese trends, only bought 2 tops over there but got a lot of hair ties and a bag.

Super adore the bling bling calculators most shops have! Finally settled lunch at a nearby ramen shop mid-afternoon.

huge-ass bowl of ramen that I didn't finish. Even spent like at least 5 minutes trying to figure out how to order via the machine. I felt so stupid standing in front of the machine and it kept vomitting my coins out whenever I chose the wrong option :(

So yeps, that is the only ramen I had in Japan.

Headed to other shops outside. There's a sale going on at H&M and I picked up a skirt! Spent time camwhoring there though hahahah...

There were a lot of little shops along the streets and I enjoy browsing in them too because some of them have pretty good deals!

Oh and the love hotel area.

I didn't finish the whole of Shibuya but that's fine. I thought I could come back some other days but nopes, no time. Also didn't really matter to me, cuz I just kept thinking I will be coming back another time anyway. Guess I wanted to leave some stuffs for "the next time".

Headed back to the hotel soon for dinner with T at a nearby sushi place. And because I brought my HDD along, we ended up watching 1 episode of How I met your Mother every night LOL...

Day 1, Tokyo

2010-08-12T22:13:00.009+08:00

YES YES YES IM BACK FROM JAPAN!

It's been an awesome trip, and I dont wanna forget anything ever so I'm gonna write whatever I think of. At first I was feeling very worried about going on this trip because I am not sure if we would quarrel in Japan, and if we really do what am I supposed to do? Still gotta share the same room for x number of days wtf. But thankfully, everything went well :D

Took United Airlines and although Charmaine told me that the air stewardness are very fierce, I thought they were very nice! Might be due to the fact that we were in Economy Plus. Thank god for that extra 5inches of leg room. It was a flight at 0710 and T came to pick me up at 0515. I only slept like 2 hours ago lor :(

Thankfully I still managed to make it. One of T's greatest fear was me abandoning him at the airport then he gotta fly there alone. Silly dear ;)

Hang out at the lounge a bit before checking in.

"Darling do the peace sign too!!!!"

It was a peaceful flight except that they didn't serve lunch and I skipped their breakfast. So I was starvinggggg when I got to Japan (around 1500 local time). Took the airport limousine bus which is about 3000yen/pax. It's about an hour ride away and super comfy!

Hotel was at Shinagawa Prince Hotel.

It was a pretty convenient location! This is the subway line I usually take to go anywhere in Tokyo. I think the trains are quite easy to understand in Tokyo, it's like Singapore. You have to switch lines at major stops.

One thing though, if you are switching lines and that line is by another company, you have to exit the station first and purchase another ticket. No biggie, seriously *shrugs

So being very hungry, we settled at a restaurant in the hotel where they served the best stew beef and omelet.

After our huge dinner (there were other dishes I didn't take photos of), we took a walk and darling showed me how to get to the train station. It's at most a 3 mins walk away.

Oh and we love taking walks after dinner. It's such a romantic thing to do! Even in Singapore, after dinner we would just walk around the area or go to the pool to chill a bit before going back.

Had to go to the supermarket to get some drinks and look! And that's not even all of it. How I wish we could see this in Singapore :(

And we settled for these!

Decadent indeed but we have a reason to celebrate. Ok, not really. Just that I love champagne and it's cheap over there so we bought it hehe.

37 floor, magnificent eh?

Bali - Horrible

2010-07-31T22:50:00.010+08:00

After being pulled out of bed from a nap to join the rest of the people for the tour, we waited across the street for the bus to pick us up and I actually lost my FAVE pair of sunglasses there FML. Really feel quite upset but like what mommy always said, 旧的不去，新的不来....

Anyway, it took us a 2 hour drive to reach this place for buffet lunch. Traffic was horrible!

Oh and it was frigging cold. I packed for sunny days, and it turns out that Bali is actually cooler than Singapore wtf :(

People carrying stones on their heads. and i kept thinking to myself, what would it be like for me to live there? to wake up at 5am in the morning and work in the fields, have no education and not enough food, worry about not being able to get married if i can't get pregnant.

Thank god I am in Singapore, count your blessings people! Stop complaining.

Instead of saying cheese, we kept forcing our photographers to ask us "西瓜甜不甜？" and we will answer "甜!" with a huge smile. That sorta explains the silly huge grins we had on our faces =p

So glad to be part of sales! :D

The lunch was just alright I feel. I rmb that they have this tuna satay and it sucks ttm! Goreng pisang was awesome though.

Saw the ang klung and couldn't help but pose. Actually I shamelessly said I know how to play when I dont! Only made a fool of myself *_*

And so the trip continues to some temple. I heard from someone, not tour guide, that this temple is for the villagers to pray to the souls of the dead. there is no remains at the temple because when someone dies in Bali, the ashes will be thrown into the sea.

Too bad the weather sucks so all photos are foggy. Impossibly cold so Charmaine lent me her extra scarf.

Kinda feels that the above photo is eerie. It's as if we are in a Blair Witch Project.

But being the camwhore I am, still manage to take awesome photos.

Next stop was Tanah Lot. I managed to fall down because it was slippery due to the rain T___T

Saw these swallows who suddenly came out and gave us a scare!

Went to a cliff to get to get a good photo. Although the waves weren't big, but we had fun! I feel that the process is more important than the end results. Of cuz it would be nice to have a good photo, but to keep insisting on it and making other people unhappy because you want things your own way just isnt cutting it. oops, not talking about the photo anymore but just what I feel in general!

I would say that Tanah Lot is a very photogenic place. It doesn't look that amazing in real-life la wtf!

BBQ corn there is fantastic btw. 5000rp for one at Tanah Lot, 10,000rp at Jimbaran Beach.

Company dinner was held there and the seafood was pathetically little. And I did not win the lucky draw. Somehow, I always dont have such luck! Grrrs.

Headed back to hotel and slept around 11pm because we were supposed to gather 3.5hours later (230am) at the lobby! Sadly, not to Kuta beach to see the hot angmohs again. This time, we were headed to Lovina beach which is on the other part of the island. And the drive takes abt 2.5hours.

Did you know that Bali is one of the smallest islands in Indonesia but is 9 times bigger than Singapore? =)

I slept most of the way throughout the drive, but I did wake up once halfway to see the roads so dark. I seriously wonder how the driver made it. Thank goodness he did though, otherwise I wouldn't be blogging here! hahahahah

It felt weird, but refreshing to be at the beach so early. I love watching the sun rise ^__^

My initial thoughts on dolphins were that there was only a few and IF we get to see them, they would be damn far away. Boy was I wrong! There were A LOT, and some even got really close to our boat. It was truly an amazing experience. I dont have good photos, but will be posting up videos once I have the time to edit them.

After the dolphin experience, everything was back to downhill again =/

Look how dirty Bali is! They really should put dustbins everywhere. It really is a waste, imagine on your right side it is the photo below and when you turn to your left you face these rubbish *shakes head*

Next stop, volcano! Didn't get as close as I imagine I would *shrugs

Had buffet lunch again. Omg my face is so damn round these days ughs!

Then the rest of the day was spent shopping. At our first shop, I got stung by a bee and I didn't even provoke it! I was just standing there and suddenly there was this intense pain in my thumb and when I looked my my thumb HOLY SHIT THERE'S A BEE!

And so, it was pretty swollen. But thanks to everyone who treated me like a princess after that, helping me carry my things around hehehe ;) but my palm was very swollen. What if I am allergic to bee stings? I could have just died in Bali x_x

Then Ubud Market. A 20min ride turns out to be double the time because of a traffic jam. Nothing much there too! Disappointing.

And there was a jam so we couldn't make it for sunset. Settled dinner at some chinese place and head back to the hotel.

Random photo of me being nerdy hahahah.

Should I dye my hair again? Hmmm...

That pretty much sums up my Bali trip. Day 4 was spent slacking around (which I totally dig!) and then we head back to Singapore. Was sooo relieved when we touched down. I have always enjoyed my holiday trips because I love travelling and experiencing new stuffs but this time round I just felt that the trip was not what I had expected at all, for eg the weather. How the fuck is it possible that Singapore is sunnier than Bali?! Plus, I just missed T too much I guess =/

And something from Bali, a sarong. Till now I have not figured out how to wear it the proper way so I improvise it to this!

It's just a few more hours before I leave for Japan. T is so gonna kill me if he finds out that I am doing everything else except pack.

ta everyone, have a blessed week! xx

Bali (Awesome)

2010-07-28T22:12:00.008+08:00

And so, this Bali trip was actually a company trip. Whenever I tell people that it's a company trip, they never fail to go "SOOOO GOOD AR YOUR COMPANY". At times like this, I do think that working here is really not too bad. Plus, they are very supportive (morally not financially hahahaha).

Any-oh-how, this is the hotel we stayed at!

Honestly, I would highly recommend people who's going to Bali to opt for the villas. I mean, come on, you are already there. Why settle for half fucked accomodation? Thank god we dont spend much time in the hotel. I am not saying that the hotel is lousy (because it IS a 4-star hotel), but villa just seems much better ya'know.

Landed Bali around 9+pm, and after settling down in the hotel we were all famished! Took agesssss to settle the transport to go somewhere for food though. That's one disadvantage about big groups I guess.

Headed over to Jimbaran Beach for seafood dinner!

already missing home! :( Usually I am very open to travelling, but this time round I just wanna get back to Singapore asap and wait for T to be back.

During dinner, this group of guys below suddenly came and started singing. Turns out that we have to tip them, I didnt and till now I still feel bad about it! Oh wells, guess they get tipped a lot by other tables because they were quite awesome =/

After dinner, we headed to Kuta Beach! According to Wikipedia, Kuta is known internationally for its long sandy beach, varied accommodation, many restaurants and bars, and many renowned surfers who visit from Australia.

Tell me, how NOT to visit?!!?

That was just at the bar area. It was pretty quiet over there, and we decided to head upstairs to the club. Tip, dont pay any entrance fee. Just act as if you belong there or insist on going in!

and the ang mohs there are sexaye!!! It was def an eye feast over there. HEHEHEHE ;)

And omg this has to be the best drink ever!

Uber sweet, totally my kinda drink. Obviously, gotten a little high *giggles* but very fun! I think it's like the highlight of the trip (together with the dolphins).

Was supposed to wake up and go to another beach for water sports but we all decided that we didn't want to so stayed in a bit and chill-lax around the pool area which was amazingly gorgeousss!

God I LOVE POOLS! Everytime when I am troubled, I would always wanna swim because it clears my head. Or at least, take my mind off those irritating thoughts for a while. Didn't manage to swim in this time round (have I mentioned it's 70m long?!), but it's alright at least I manage to get awesome shots by the pool *self-consoles*

Read a little before going back to the room for a nap:)

Aren't holidays meant to be like this? Just do whatever you want at your own pace? I hate to rush during a holiday or having not enough sleep beacuse I believe you are supposed to return feeling rejuvenated, not exhausted.

Just as I was thinking that this holiday might not be too bad, all things changed. Got into a few accidents, nothing too serious thank god. But I'm feeling awfully sleepy already, will continue tomorrow. Plus, it does sort of makes sense to split the parts I enjoy and the parts that suck. xx

back from Bali!

2010-07-27T22:51:00.003+08:00

Oh my, I have so much to write about Bali. Normally I dont even wanna bother writing, but then this time round I just wanted to type down all my thoughts and the things I experience. Same goes for future holidays or whatever shit (or awesome stuff) I experience.

Editing the photos in progress. While watching How I met your Mother. while surfing the net. while reading up on fun stuff to do in Tokyo. hehe ;)

ANYWAYS, a teaser photo first!

tata ppl!

happyyyyyyyyy

2010-07-18T23:28:00.004+08:00

IT'S FINALLY HOLIDAYS BABY!

After one year + of studies for BSMGT, we finally get a decent break. *phew* I feel so happy just thinking about not having to go for classes, can read whatever and whenever I want, can catch all the dramas that I had missed, hang out with friends more often etc etc :D

AND OMG, pretty damn excited about the fact that I am going to Bali this weekend and Japan next weekend. I am going to walk around Japan with a notebook and my camera to capture every moment. Only hoping that I wont get kidnapped. Speaking of which, I was just asking T what if I get kidnapped and get forced to sell myself at Shinjuku and he told me it's ok he will know where to find me. totally -_-

Life is good when you have things to look forward to, but we have to remember not to forget to live in the moment. ta! xx

Universal Studios

2010-07-11T21:41:00.005+08:00

Headed over to Universal Studios last Sunday. Prefer Dreamworld, Australia much more! But oh wells, still better than a boring Sunday. Wish T would have been with us too but too bad, he's on a flight zzz. And still not back yet lor wtf. SAD TTM.

Somehow, halfway I got really tired. And hungry.

like this photo a lot!

AND I THINK THE BEST SHOW IS THIS MONSTER ROCK! Better than the rides. Or maybe, on par with the mummy ride.

On the way to US, so do not look like myself HAHAHA.

Daddy's little girl

2010-07-06T21:52:00.001+08:00

He has been very worried about me recently. Whether he would lose me in the future, if I would be cheated. Worried till the point that he can't sleep well at night. I know it's all for my own good and I really appreciate the care and concern that stems from a father's love, but sometimes you just have to take it easy.

I'm all grown up, and know the right decisions to make. I can't stop chasing after what I want just because you fear that it's the wrong choice. How do you know that yourself? It is not about me able to find someone better in the future or not, I know I will be able to. The thing is finding a person who is perfect for you, who will be able to accept you for who you are and who is always there for you. Someone who makes you feel that nothing can go wrong, and never fails to point out the simplest things how life should be but so many of us being caught in the lifestyle we are in, have forgotten. Someone who makes you believe in things that you have lost faith in :)

I believe I've dated a fair bit of guys to know who's sincere and who's not, n if I'm wrong again this time round I would probably just give up on love.

Right now I just want to be able to enjoy the little things in life, and feel that there is someone else whom I can depend on other than you and mom. I would be praying hard for everyone's blessings, especially the both of you simply because you matter to us.

xoxo,
Daddy's little girl

finding perfection in imperfection

2010-07-03T13:11:00.007+08:00

I keep telling myself to go on a diet, but tell me, how do you resist pretty fruit tarts?!?!!?

fruit paradise @ Vivo City

Plus I've been working hard!

like camwhoring while out on sales visits hahahahah

It's too cruel to stop myself from eating. And if I dont eat during class, I would totally fall asleep la =.=! Speaking of which, class is such a waste of time. I have sth against tutors who makes exaggerated expressions and move too much.

Exams are in 2 weeks time and then I am free for 2 mths! (I think). Totally must make full use of this break. Cannot wait for holidays! :D Not really looking forward to Bali, but super excited ttm for JAPAN! Just thinking about ramen, harajuku + shibuya, kyoto, disneyland..........

AHHHHH WHY CANT AUG BE NOW?!!?! T___T

Must make up my mind about other trips this year too. Dont think I have a lot of leave left =/

One month has passed by so quickly.

Me: happy anniversary.
T: you mean monthly-versary? it's only a month.
Me: yea, i know 我们的时间观念不一样.

little moments

2010-06-27T23:04:00.002+08:00

T: I suddenly feel very glad that Singapore only has one season.
Me: Why? (cuz he mentioned before he find it too hot here)
T: If there's 4 seasons, it means your clothes will be 4x more omg. Cant imagine that at all.
Me: LOL!

2010-06-26T01:13:00.002+08:00

Oh my, just when I started to blog a little more frequently, I stopped again. Am not even going to try to say that I will try to update more often since I have no idea if I will stick to it.

A lot of things have happened for the past 2 months, and I am glad to have sort out my thinking. Some things that are not meant to be, will never be. Passion fizzles out even before you could say 'forever and ever' and I learnt yet again that it has never been what I've been looking and will settle for.

With T around now, I find delight in the little things in life. And most of the time, I feel as if I could die of happiness anytime. With me being the hopeless romantic (sadface cuz he is not) and him being the ever optimist, we call the situation we are in - 幸福overdose ^__^

Even though it is a little too early to say this, but it feels as if the happy ending I hear about might come true for me after all.

The next time you look at the time and it happens to be 1111, make a wish and it might come true.

2010-04-09T02:02:00.002+08:00

I enjoy night time too much to go to bed early.
I indulge in sweet foods more than I should which is why my diet plans never work out.
I shop way too much, especially when I feel stressed.
I procrastinate too much that I end up frustrated with myself.
I change my mind so often till I end up confused about what I truly want.
I seem to be particularly prone to getting into complicated situations.
I imagine things that aren't ever gonna happen for short moments of contentment.
I ignore the reality so much that I could almost convince myself that I am not doing anything wrong.
I resist the voices that tells me to say no to (forbidden) love.

I have no idea why tragic seems to spell so beautifully and if feelings can be trusted at all.
If fairy dust truly exist, and the stars can tell the future, would everything be different?

2010-04-04T23:32:00.003+08:00

This morning I woke up thinking, how nice it would be if I am able to sleep till noon everyday.

Had the most unproductive day ever! And now I am feeling guilty as I type this, still refusing to touch my notes. le sigh.

2010-04-01T14:09:00.003+08:00

Because I am bored and haven updated for the longest time ever!

Sorry >:(

There have been so many things that are happening that I am unable to keep track of, as much as I would like to. Even if I have the time and energy to write it all down, I can’t share it (sad, I know). But I’ve been feeling happy, albeit the occasional emo shit I still go through because the reality of life IS harsh.

The silly things we do together, the jokes we share, the adventures we go on, the many first-times that we let each other experience (sounds kinky huh HAHA).

I don’t think I can ever find another person who makes me feel like you do. It is amazing how I wanna spend all my time with you, share every little detail of my life with you, and hear all the stories you have for me.

It might not last forever, but I cherish every moment together.

Happy CNY and Valentine's day lovelies!

A day of visiting totally drained me, and I took a long long shower to wash away all the fatigue and worries.

exams are on sat, and I can't decide on what I wanna do after that!

Outing with classmates, supperclub, or star-watching again?

Btw I went to Phuture on Friday and it was FAIL. I can never control my drinking whenever I feel troubled grrrs! Thank goodness for Yihong who dragged me away from all the maddness, if not *shakes head*

note to self: no more binge-drinking no matter how shitty i feel!

xoxo and stay positive <3

2010-02-07T22:36:00.003+08:00

Wow I've not blogged for such a long time. Everytime I log in, I have no idea what to type so I give up. Plus, it never seem really safe to type how out I truly feel, as I have no idea who is watching this space of mine.

These days I am just telling myself to enjoy the moment and not worry too much about the future 8-)

I hope 2010 has been treating everyone good so far! Oh yes, and happy CNY in advance! Which I dont think anyone would be happy because:

1) those attached dont get to celebrate Vday
2) you have to go visiting and answer the usual set of questions (hate this the most!)
3) the spring cleaning that you haven't had time to get down to doing

and for me, there's exams on the 20! >:(

OOOOOH, and my sister sniggered after i tell her I have no date for Vday and then keep on asking me if her boyf is 帅 or not WTF.

rein in the feelings, and steel thy heart

2010-01-17T01:19:00.004+08:00

i miss getting sloshed, it keeps the nightmares away.

i've been writing, just not publishing. the thoughts i have are way too personal to share.

not feeling too good now, because there are just too many voices in my head right now. it seems almost impossible to get them out of my head. the images too.

do you learn from your past mistakes? I hope I will.
everything just feels achingly familiar now that it sends shivers down my spine.

2010 Resolution

2010-01-01T15:38:00.001+08:00

1) STUDY HARD
2) WORK HARD

These 2 are gonna be difficult enough to keep so I'm not gonna add on to the list kthxbye.

what will be the challenges facing me in 2010?

Reflections

2009-12-31T16:11:00.000+08:00

Can't believe it's the end of the year again. Time passes so slowly and quickly at the same time.

A quick reflection of what happened over the past year.

Jan

Made '09 resolutions and didn't stick to them at all. FAIL.

Went to catch Cinderella, which was really good!

Feb

Celebrated Vday. Which I wont be in 2010 since I am single now x_x

Thank goodness CNY falls on Vday, which means I wont feel as loserish if I dont have a date HAHA.

March

Went KL for the very first time! =D

Applied for University, one of the biggest decisions I had ever made in my life because it is so frigging expensive! >:( but one does need a degree no? Got accepted at the end of the month and was damn happy about it!

April

Went HK + Macau with JJ. Shopped like mad. My fave place is Mongkok, and my favourite food is egg tarts and cheap sushi.

Quarreled over the littlest things zzz! Now reading through and seeing the photos, I didn't even realise that we quarrelled like everyday? Both of us were just glad to be back in Sg. I had thought all along that everything was fine, but I was proven much later that I was wrong of course. Been living in my own bubble as usual, while you built up your resentment towards me, the accusations of how "I had changed". Ouch.

May

Spent the whole month blogging about HK. hahaha! How come when I was blogging about it, I rmb feeling happy, but now looking through the photos again I remembered all the unhappiness? Feeling irritated. Bah!

June

Started school officially! Was afraid that I cannot make any friends. I remembered feeling stressed because I did not do accounting or economics before.

Went to Iowa, US for product training. Felt like a grown up, going overseas for work. Got a huge room to myself and I simply love rolling around in bed. If this is how it feels like to be living alone in future, I can't wait. Oh, and I attended my first baseball game ever xD

I love US and cant wait to go back! Super miss it now :(

Celebrated Peiyi's 21st birthday. Hoped she likes the gift that I gotten for her! =D

July

Went KL for training and got to know that I am an ENFP.

Went Phuket for company trip (which I never got around to blogging about -__-)

August

Finished my exams for the prep course. Broke up with JJ even before I finished my exams. Imagine how much it must have affected my mood at that time? Whatever, it left me empty. Feeling bewildered. So many things that I still can't figure out, so I just stopped trying to.

There weren't simply gonna be any answers.

September

Started clubbing again. NY's resolution of not drinking so much? Totally forgotten. (in fact, I was only reminded of it when I re-read my post -__-")

On the only happy note, someone got married! ;)

soon u'll be under the same GRC as me muhahahhas!

October
21st birthday.

I wonder how it would have been if we had still been together.

Halloween makeup

November

Def one of the worst months ever. Work was f* stressful. It made me almost snapped.

I struggled to get my act up, and thankfully it worked. Sorta anyway. I also started to let go of all the unhappy thoughts and actually start feeling happier and at peace with myself.

December

Ballet for the first time ever ;)

Had the most awesome Christmas ever.

Sometimes, I feel that I dont deserve all these people being nice to me when I'm such a horrible person.

Goodbye 2009, it has been a rollar coaster year.

All the experiences that has made me wiser, I will not forget.
All the memories created, I will hold on dearly to my heart.

My Christmas weekend

2009-12-28T19:25:00.016+08:00

Who loves long weekends? ME!

So how did u spend your Christmas? With loved ones, with friends, or alone? This is my favorite time of the year, because it is the season of love. Plus there are pretty lightings everywhere =p

I was feeling quite sad that there's no half day off on Christmas eve but oh well, we get a full day off on 31!

Headed down to Phuture after work to meet Fangyi and Tommy.

So much happened! But I am lazy to type it out la hahahahah...anyway they very bad lo! Wanna spend time alone together then keep pushing me away. Heng I wasn't too drunk (read: can remember what happened). Only 2 Jägerbomb this time round, but had Chivas too. Neat!!! -__-"

anyway!

MAD HILARIOUS RIGHT?!

ok la, this is her normal self. NEED TO POST, otherwise she would kill me! *laughs*

chio right? *giggles*

On Christmas itself, it was Khai Teng's wedding. Forced myself to wake up around 1130. Her house is sooooo pretty! But a bit tiny. Guess that's the problem with new houses. Oh wells, less space = easier to tidy? =))

Have I mentioned before that I am a sucker for flowers, especially roses?

with the beautiful bride

Attending weddings always make me feel so envious of the couples, who have found the right ones. And deep down from the bottom of my heart, I sincerely wish her all the best. Have a happy and fulfilling marriage.

Some camwhoring once I reached home......dont waste the makeup! Lol...

After that, slacked around before I finally decided to start on preparing the food for a potluck session at Rongyao's house.

It has been such a long time since I cooked! I have like, 4 PLANS. hahahah! Super kaisu right? =x

My plan 1 was to make chicken kebab.

First obstacle, cannot find chicken in NTUC. Panic for a while, and then decide that pork and chicken dont taste too different and should be fine. Imagine the horror I felt just when I was about to start cooking, and then realising that I FORGOT TO TAKE THE PORK OUT OF THE FEEEZER!

FML to the max. Move on, plan 2! Make pizza bread, which basically utilizes the same ingredients.

Only problem? My house does not have a single slice of bread *frowns*

thank goodness that I had anticipated that in life, it is always good to be prepaped. Which in my case means having as many plans as possible, and so I embarked on Plan 3!

Bacon wrapped cheese sausages!

Dont ask me how it taste like, cuz I dont dare to eat it *sheepish*

For those who are wondering, if plan 3 didn't work, I am actually prepared to go and buy a log cake. Confirm won't fail.

No photos of the potluck session because I forgot to bring my memory card out. Was in a rush as I was napping after cooking! Mad tired lor...

Food was good! We should organise another session soon. I will bring movies the next time round teehees.

Slept around 11am on Sat, and woke up around 5pm. And then slacked my day away, which was awesome. Why do people hate staying home? There's so many things to do! I need to stay at home more so that I can finish my dramas and all the books that I bought. Plus CNY is coming, gotta start spring cleaning!

After a rest day, went out again on Sunday.

Caught Sherlock Holmes! Do you guys know anything about him? All I know was that he is a great detective. I mean, he's not our generation one right? hahah...

But oh wells, enjoyed the movie nevertheless!

Headed down to Dempsey after that for dinner. But before dinner, he brought me to Jones the Grocer. They had this cheese place that.....ok I have no idea how to describe so I will let the photos do the talking.

Check the place out the next time you are at Dempsey! Might go back there to get some cheese....I especially love the cheese with herbs. Heee.

Dinner was at House, Barracks and Camp.

He was so excited that he finally got a seat under a huge table. To his dismay, he had to control his speech and laughter because there will be echos if he's too loud. Weird, that I don't cause any echos at all =p

The food was great. Lobster linguine = mad love! <3

I was so cheated by the photo! The lemon cake turns out to be hugeeeee!

Look at the number of slices! *faints* stomach almost burst.

bitter chocolate tart

Walked around a bit after dinner. It's always not good to sit right away after having your meals!

see my point? Pretty lights everywhere heee.

hope you guys had as much fun as I did! Can't wait for 2010 to come now.

xoxo

2009-12-20T15:39:00.005+08:00

Was at Songhui's party yesterday. Fangyi invited me and I went, although I've only seen Songhui twice HAHA.

went a while only lo, and then decided to head down to Dragonfly. Super last min decision! Tommy had to go home and change. Thank goodness he stayed in Tampines only.

on car waiting for Tommy

At first we were like thinking, 3 people only dont know if will be fun or not. But seriously, it is so damn last minute that nobody can make it.

BUT IT'S OKIE! cuz we still had a lot of fun (or at least I did!). Guess it's the quality not quantity haha.

Everyone, this is ZAI Tommy! Heehee.

Drink for that night was jägerbomb. I totally lost count of how many I had.

Check out what we did when we were out thinking of another place to go!

but never go anywhere else cuz lazy =/

Hightlights of Dragonfly (not in order):

1) saw a girl drunk, lying on the floor. omg! Fangyi still keep laughing at her!
2) tried to learn shuffling from Tommy: FAIL.
3) some1 passed me his namecard and I passed it to Tommy. He tore it into pieces and threw it behind him. POWER!
4) 1 of our jägerbombs was imcomplete because we spilled the Jägermeister. stupid bartender refuse to replace it for us! Grrrs. Random guy beside me bought a new one for me. Awesome eh? Tommy called him a carrot in his face, mad funny!
5) *sings* I kissed a girl and I liked it.
6) Stupid valet guy drove away while i'm still on the car! x_x

xoxo!

2009-12-20T14:35:00.005+08:00

second round of dinner after the exams!

I headed to St James last week to meet Peiyi and Nemo and passed the Singapore Flyer lighted nicely. Quickly took out my camera and snapped a photo.

Blurry, but u get the idea right? ;P

Tempted to go up on it! But, i'm scared of heights. Plus I have no one to go with anyway!

Anyway, St James was boringggggggggg!

Headed back again yesterday with Fangyi & Tommy. Tried calling other people to join us but to no avail. It's totally fine though! Too last minute le I guess.

Anyway, new hair cut! Not much difference, just a shorter fringe and more layers.

OH and I went for Swan Lake on the 18th =))

The program booklet was mad expensive at $10! Still, he got 1 despite knowing I will lose them somehow =/

Al fresco dinner before Swan Lake ;)

if you know who he is, good for u haha!

xoxo!

2009-12-14T20:51:00.009+08:00

I don't know why, but I got slightly annoyed when I saw this comment on Youtube.

My first reaction was "WHY?!!!?"

And then, second reaction is another bigger "Why?!!!?" to the first why x_x

Perhaps I'm enjoying singlehood too much.
Perhaps I've become a cynic.
Perhaps I've just lost interest in the whole "being in a relationship" idea.

Or have I?

Being a typical Libra, I fantasize about being in love all the time.

How would it feel to be totally crazy in love, just like how I see in the movies, just how I read in all the romance novels I devoured hungrily when I was young?

How would it feel like to have someone who's always there, who understands you and loves you no matter how imperfect you are?

Yet, again and again, reality never fails to disappoint. Were the expectations set too high? It was a question that I had never been able to answer because there really isn't an answer.

These days, I just float around in my own bubble.

I fill the bubbles with my secret dreams, which keeps me giggly throughout the day. I feel protected somehow, and with my friends around me there's nothing I am really lacking of.

Excuse my lamenting all the time about not having a boyfriend. I seriously don't mean it. It's just fun to whine about not being in a relationship. Yes sometimes when I see couples all lovey dovey, I feel like stabbing them but I get over it in like, 5 seconds.

Sometimes, I am amazed by my own thoughts. I see a guy, interest develops, and then I lose interest. All in less than a week -__- (if you ever last more than a week then good for u HAHAHA)

Thing is, within this week, I mentally enter a relationship and then all the things that could go wrong keeps popping into my head and I go "ahhh fuck it, this isn't going to work".

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!

The thought of going into a relationship scares me. It makes me develop butterflies in my stomach, and I get all nauseous. Seriously!

I hear you, what about the good times right? Sure there were good times, but then were the good times worth the bad? I never figured the answer to that as well *shrugs*

The heartbreaks, the disappointments, the suspicions, the compromise. People always wondered why I always choose to close 1 eye to a lot of things in my relationship, not because I don't care. It's just that I don't want to focus on the bad things. In the end it just got to a point that I just couldn't carry on any further, so I choose not to care instead. It always end with silence because both parties just can't be bothered already.

Why should we, when love has always been silent, selfish, greedy, non-trusting and lies?

2010, hurry up and come already!

Bubbles bubbles.....please dont ever burst.

2009-12-13T17:52:00.002+08:00

EXAMS ARE OVER!!

International Business IS interesting, but there are so many things to read! I was at a disadvantage since I'm not one for world news. Wells, all in all, I really learnt a lot from the module and I've stared reading the business section in news too! =pPp

anyway, feeling pretty hyped up by the fact that I dont have school for 3 weeks heee. And I am hoping that things will go well for the last few weeks of 2009. COME ON, after so many shitty weeks, I ain't greedy to ask for a few fabulous weeks right?!

Ballet next week, then X'mas party. Still haven figured out what to buy for gift exchange! I'm forbidden to buy chocolates HAHAHAH.

I'm in a pretty good mood these days. Might be due to the excessive retail therapy I've been indugling myself with teehees. Oh wells, save again next month!

Oh and is anyone going for Adidas Sundown 2010?!!?

I was surfing Xanga and saw this quote.

Isn't it sad when you're in a relationship
but still looking for love, care and sweetness?
But wouldn't it be sadder when you both show
love, care and sweetness but remain as friends?

To the person who wrote this quote, I totally agree with your first 2 lines. But the last 2 lines, I beg to differ. Why would it be sad when you seem to have the best of both worlds (i.e., being single and enjoying the freedom YET receiving the love, care and sweetness at the same time)?

So many things to do/buy on my list, yet $$ is always a factor. Why am I torturing myself anyway? I don't NEED to save that much a month anyway -___-"

1) New specs (it's been on my list FOREVER)
2) Haircut, gonna get it next week prob at Shunji again haha..
3) Wii, because I am FAT.
4) Swimming costume, same reason as above
5) Iphone. useful for surfing net and playing stupid games.
6) New perfume which is more of a want just because I haven't gotten 1 in a long time. Considering between Dior's J'adore and Lanvin's "Jeanne Lanvin" hmmm...
7) Wallet.

Damn it, gonna try getting one thing / month. Am writing this down so I procrastinate on getting them!

Oh ya, going for ballet "Swan Lake" around end of this month! Mad excited about it ^^

And I have no idea why but I have been having crazy cravings for pasta these couple of days. Ahhhhh!

2009-11-28T19:43:00.002+08:00

Just wanted to share. So much nicer than the chinese version! This is much softer, sadder.

2009-11-20T14:26:00.002+08:00

I wish my sister would stop using my Ralph Lauren "Romance" perfume >:(

Yes I cherish it a lot because it was the first month's present given by the ex. Not that I don't treasure things that are given by other people but THIS IS DIFFERENT.

Fuck, feeling kinda upset over this because even if I buy another bottle for myself, it would just be different!!!

Whatever, I think I need more sleep. And another apple martini.

but there's class tonight. Oh, exams are less than a month's time away and I have over 500 pages of business journals/book articles to read. Not including the textbook and lecture notes. FML! But I can't say I hate International Business (IB), it is interesting in its own way but the reading is just torturing =/

Ok I just thought (and am craving for!) of cupcakes. And Starbucks hot chocolate. Super random ._.

2009-11-16T20:04:00.005+08:00

Because it's my blog and I have nothing to write about.

2009-11-09T21:45:00.005+08:00

When did I stop penning down my feelings?

I waited and waited for things to get better but they never do. It has gotten to the point that I am unable to ignore the toxic environment I am in right now for 5 days a week, 9 hours a day.

Every morning I wake up, I groan inwardly, the sense of dread sneaking up on me before I roll out of bed and head for a shower.

It's almost like I had returned to primary school, when I had to bring less than satisfactory results back. Or, like those days when I had PE lessons in secondary school. I had really hated running at that time (and now still -__-). Hated it so much that everytime I think of running I tend to hyperventilate a bit. YES IT IS THAT BAD. This was even one of the few reasons I forgo taking the JC route.

As I was saying, I am feeling more often than not this way these days >:(

Are making mistakes, really that unforgivable? When did pointing fingers all around became the best way to solve a problem? What renders me speechless is when I always try to erase the black marks for fellow people, I get stabbed right at the back when they didn't want the vulture's limelight on them. How very wonderful instead.

Is it all of a sudden, I am making too many mistakes, or is it all of a sudden, I am expected to make ZERO mistakes at all?

Some situations, I felt so helpless in because I am unable to come up with a good explanation. What am I expected to say? My mind draws a blank and I start blaming people. The bitter feelings grow and even as I tell myself to ignore the negative feelings, I can't help but feel that it is wearing me down.

Feel so disgusted, sick and tired of all these.

There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day

Malacca trip with classmates

2009-11-07T16:05:00.008+08:00

It was truly an unforgettable trip. Good and bad things happened, and I was rather affected by it. Or rather, most of us were affected. Shall try to forget about all the unhappy things and focus on the FUN we had!

Headed straight into Malaysia right after our exams. Stupid Malaysian customs wanted us to give them $$ @#$(#YQ&#Q@Q)#4

Spot me all ready for sleep HAHAHAH. but then I didn't manage to sleep cuz they kept talking. Plus, I am always hyper before a trip.

First stop was at some ulu place for seafood.

Didn't order too much cuz we were planning to head to the night market for more food.

Because I kept procrastinating, I didn't manage to go to a money-changer! I guess it's a good thing, otherwise I would have prob ended up with a lot more items.

Had carrot cake, egg tarts, ice-blended drinks as well. yay for good food, boo to the calories!

and I am not the one who is always ready for a photo! It's Jasmine!

I wonder what I was telling her in that photo teehees. Oh and thank goodness for ah qiang's cardigan! Came in useful quite a number of times esp during KTV.

Headed back to En's penthouse as we were unable to find places for KTV during the night.

It was our dear Youyi's birthday.

Hope he liked the birthday cake and the gift we got him!

And because we are monster, we went down for Lok Lok!

Being a Msian noob, I stared at the vehicle and wondered how do I order. Turns out that you choose what you want and then cook it yourself!

There was a club beside the van, but no clubbing because we were all in our PJ's already!

spot me in my specs!

It was the usual drinking games, and I had fun mixing the drinks. Pouring drinks for other people has always been one of my favourite things to do lol....

With like 5 bottles of liquor, it was no wonder that a number of them got drunk and things just went downhill >:(

No way are we going to let Kim get drunk again. He destroyed a lot of things around the house!

I dont think he will get himself that drunk too. Oh well, people need to learn their lessons the hard way. I learnt mine the hard way too *cringes* People, please please just drink enough to get high and party the night away, not end up being a merlion, sprouting rubbish, kissing strangers and all.

Look at him rolling around -___-"

And finally morning was here! Didn't even manage to catch 1 hour of sleep! Mad tired.

And everyone were sorta like walking zombies, talking and all. So I kept ordering people around.

"ask u all to shower still take photo of me?!"

But thankfully, they were rather....obedient! hahahaha...

cutest couple in our class (^o^)

Headed for chicken rice ball.

Oh gosh, embarressing things happened. Youyi trying to wrap the chicken in the riceball and me laughing at the waiter all the time he was standing behind me. The silly things we do, I totally blame it on the lack of sleep!

And finally KTV!

Dragged Rongyao to stand on sofa with me heheheheh.

My shades def look better on me!

Oh and can you guess the dance we did?

"I want nobody nobody but YOU!"

random photo, totally shows how tired I am.

There's always so much I want to say, but when I stare at my com, I go blank.
Maybe, all the things that I want to say is too personal.
Things like I miss you.......yet I know I shouldn't! Am I regretting? No I dont think so.........I must not, and will not. It's a road we both choose, and pride keeps us going on.

were we always meant to say goodbye?

2009-11-04T15:42:00.002+08:00

Got a surprise gift yesterday.

much appreciated =))

And now, these lovelies accompany me during my work!

will blog about Malacca soon!

The Bodyshop Atrium Sale

2009-10-22T08:47:00.002+08:00

I read about it on the forum and I went with the intention of getting ONE shower gel.

Look what I ended up with!

It is not A LOT right? But they were really good deals so I can't resist. Spent ~$80+. Got a free gift worth ~$20, and a $20 voucher off my next purchase so I technically paid $40+ for my own stuffs SO YES THEY ARE REALLY WORTH IT YAY!

Let me show you my new goodies. So excited to use them all!

Satsuma range

It smells freaking good! No idea what fruit this is till I just googled and came up with 蜜柑. I know I am damn kaisu to buy 2 shower gels but then it's only $5! I am thinking of going back to buy like 5 more hahahah.

Small bottles are 5 for $10! So in addition to my satsuma lotion I got these.

And because I am a sucker in getting things in set, I got the pink grapefruit body scrub too (together satsuma body polish) which was 2 for $10.

Always wanted to try out their tea tree oil range! I wouldn't say tea tree is a miracle but then it helps to prevent breakouts for me. So I got the scrub, blemish stick and concealer. Scrub wasn't on discount though! The other 2 was on 40% off.

Didn't know why I got the lipbalm though when I hate things in a pot but it was too cute to resist.

Raspberry body scrub smells so yummy. Can't find the shower gel and lotion, might be going back to hunt!

If you spend $65 and above you get this sample set.

I suppose it's good for travelling. Plus there's shampoo and conditioner! Good chance to try them out. *discards thoughts of the new essential shampoo I just bought when my FAST shampoo is not finished*

And I got $20 voucher! I have already decided on getting a hair brush ^^

It is my exam this Sat. After exam, will be heading to Malacca with the classmates. I know I haven't been blogging about my life but then there's nothing much interesting actually. Posted shitload of photos on Facebook though, and still has a whole shitload of photos yet to upload LOL. It's just clubbing stuffs. Looking forward to Halloween next week though! Haven't decided on costumes yet I AM SO DEAD.

Bah! Need more $$$$$$$.

Emotional Intelligence

2009-10-13T16:37:00.004+08:00

According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is somewhat poor. People who score like you may at times feel that they have trouble dealing with their own emotions and those of others. They sometimes struggle to overcome difficulties in their lives and they are not always able to control their moods. It may be hard for them to understand how best to motivate themselves to overcome obstacles and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions difficult at times, for several reasons. They may have trouble allowing themselves to get close with others, finding it difficult to be vulnerable enough to establish intimacy or perhaps lacking understanding of, or comfort with, social interactions. Perhaps by working on your problem areas, you can become more confident in dealing with your own emotions and those of others.

**************************************

I dont know what is my problem areas but I dont deny that this test is pretty accurate. In addition, I really find it difficult expressing myself in terms of how I feel -__- Somehow a lot of times, people do not understand what I am trying to say, and I am f* lazy to explain. Plus, I just have this feeling that if i explain how I feel, and go too much into it, I will just end up looking stupid. No why.

So, I am enjoying my life as a single now. the thought of never having to enter a serious r/s is very tempting. Watched 500 days of Summer yesterday and I feel Summer. Her thoughts are so.......right. What is love anyway? Have you felt it? Love is just a fantasy for fools. Have anyone of you really met THE ONE?

seriously, i feel that I dont belong in this world at all.

2009-10-11T12:29:00.002+08:00

Most classic story of the happy tree friends gossiping.

While waiting for the cars to pass before we can jay-walk safely to get to Minori, Fangyi notices a Gold 90.5 sticker on the car in front of us.

I cannot remember what we said, but we went on about the guy being too young to listen to this kinda music, and what kinda music we listen to and what the guy should listen to........

all these while the guy is actually innocently just less than 1meter away waiting to make a right turn.

LOL. random.

will post up bday celebration pictures soon! i am sooooo slow this time round! lots of stuffs going on and i have my assignment to do! gah.

Bday Celebration Part II

2009-10-03T22:11:00.000+08:00

My favourite cake used to be blackforest but ever since I had this cake at Winna Ho's birthday party I fell in love with it. The cream is so light and the strawberries are glazed. Ultra sweet! <3

Naturally I would request for my mom to buy me this cake for my birthday. Headed over to my auntie's house. It is a Mid-Autumn festival + my cousin's bday + my bday gathering.

It was eat and gambling. I dig the bbq food but not the gambling =/ plus they kept smoking non-stop! gosh~

with my cute niece Vanessa!

Look at how enthu everyone was! But they actually had evil plans in mind. which is to smash both of our faces into the cake >:(

And look at how we ended up -__-

Yes my little cousin got it so much worse than me. so poor thing. we both wanted to cry on the spot so much lor hahahahaha.....

thank goodness the "nightmare" is over already......................................didn't get to eat the cake in the end. too disgusted and upset. bah! the smell of cake on your hair is soooo damn annoying.

2009-10-02T20:31:00.000+08:00

First Birthday Celebration. Seriously didn't expect to get a cake so early! I mean, my birthday's still a week away haha.

See how pretty the cake is! ^^

Shared it with Jo. Sam couldn't make it!

back to class after that boos!

haha I will always have sweets + water with me if not I don't think i ever survive. there was once my classmate even said i look as if i am attending a picnic instead of class because of the food i brought to class -__-

after that we headed for ~~gambling~~ KTV @ Liang Court! the room was freaking HUGEEEE!

played pool there as well. been such a long time. makes me think of the times when we used to go AMK there during breaks for pool......and now i suddenly remember our durian incident too hahahahahaha. the stupid things we used to do! and I super duper miss cheese tofu >:(

actually i realised that everytime i go out, my camera is not with me most of the time LOL. everyone loves my camera =pPp

^^

we are going Malacca soon YAY!

The Time Traverler's Wife

2009-10-01T14:37:00.002+08:00

Caught this on Sat with Peiyi.

I bought the book about a month ago? Planned to read it before the movie but I just don't have the time! :(

The movie is not bad though. but thinking back, it's quite a ridiculous storyline. i mean, how could that possibly happen in real life right? =/

praying that the book would be better!

ok i need to STOP SHOPPING. i just got my pay for a week lo! need. to. make. it. last. for. 1. month. ashlyne.

Friday chill out

2009-09-27T21:29:00.007+08:00

Class on friday! Hang out with a few of my classmates after class because a few of us (including me) are hungryyyyy.

They decided on this quaint little place at Holland V opposite Subway.

I really like the ambience there!

Wanted a sandwich and their dessert but their kitchen's closed! Ended up going out for Burger King before heading back for dessert lol....

Nutella Squares

Because I've been craving for Nutella for ages hehs.

How refreshing, no alcohol but tea instead! =))

I am someone who don't drink coffee (because if it's too strong I will get a headache) but I really do love tea a lot. Favorite tea is English Breakfast.

And some pictures we took. More up on Facebook!

with jasmine

with aloysius

And look what I did! LOL...

love my camera for being able to edit instantly =pPp anyway who ask him to be light bulb?!

attendees for this tea session!

jo and me

Ok I absolutely hates it when people try to ruin photos! *irritated*

So obviously crop them off.

anyway the picture quality is rather crappy. Not too sure why too...

feeling upset easily recently. flashes of us keep appearing in my head...there's nothing I can do but grit my teeth and try to push them away. One's gotta learn to let go and be independent.

I cannot make up my mind whether I should gain or lose weight.

Retail Therapy

2009-09-27T20:08:00.000+08:00

So cute!

Anyway, I got a poster of him because I went Etude house and got some lame shit.

Ok, except for the blusher which I really like! But think I have the colour already? Hmmm...got home and realised that I didn't lose my nail buffer and filer.

And the pink headband. I got it because.............................................have been watching too much Korean shows and women use that and I just want it! *shrugs*

If you have long lashes, good for u! But I don't so I need my lashes.

Got all that at Far East. Been such a long time since I've been there and I enjoyed myself shopping a lot! Thanks for Max for helping me carry stuffs and being so patient watching me try 101 pairs of shoes hahahahaha....

When I'm not in a good mood, I tend to shop a lot. I guess it's the feeling of trying to get something to fill the emptiness in you? Idk! Those who have been through it should know that the good feelings only last for a while before you are tempted to buy more and More and MORE................

Resist I shall!

Dragonfly - 20 Sept

2009-09-27T15:16:00.008+08:00

Ok finally Dragonfly. Which was exactly a week ago!

messy hair! =((

I was feeling soooo damn sleepy. Prob explains why I can pick up calls and go back to sleep without any problem haha!

Told Ashley I would be there at 10 but reached around 11 instead heheh.

thanks to him for inviting me AND allowing me to invite my friends =))

He is a GOOD BROTHER! =pPp

with Ken

I literally LOL when I saw the photo. Was like "Ken your eyes are smaller than mine!!"

Seriously, I had a lot of fun. My friends did too phew! All thanks to Team Nemo for being so high. The energy is infectious! Headed to Boiler for some dancing and I really enjoyed the music there a lot!

And guess what? I was rather sober as I drank very little only. At least I think so la hahaha...

the ridiculously funny poses they come up with!

FANGYI! When are we going Rebel and Social House?!!? It's your turn to plan this time =pPp

Everyone had a great night right?! If you like this person or whoever, please get to know him or her yourself through facebook or whatever shit because I dont wanna be a middle person TYVM!

imy

2009-09-27T00:50:00.002+08:00

Did you regret ever standing by my side?
Did you forget we were feeling inside?
Now I'm left to forget about us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song, you can't forget it

Birthday Wishlist!

2009-09-25T10:31:00.009+08:00

Because Peiyi kept bugging me.

Actually I already got the 2 things that I wanted most. A camera and a HDD.

OH I HAVEN BLOG ABOUT MY CAMERA RIGHT?!!!?

I got a Samsung ST550 at Comex last week.

Have not gotten my HDD yet because Max refuse to give it to me till it's my birthday *pouts*

So back to my wishlist for the clueless, these are what I am currently lusting after.

http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?sku=GRP02484&mcat=148211&cid=288154&fromGrid=1&search_params=s+3-p+21-c+288154-r+101287465-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+

this is LOVE.

There is another one that is super chio too but too bad I dont have a special someone *shrugs*

Anyway, the things that I want is really random.

Like a pair of jogging shoes.

Because I feel that I am fat! I want Nike because my gym wear is Nike. Must match xDD

If not, buy me a swimming costume. Max don’t believe that I know how to swim! I really feel like taking up swimming again because I miss the water. (if you buy me a swimming costume, can add in goggles too???)

Oh something that I REALLY WANT is an oven. cuz I wanna bake cakes. PLEAS PLEASE PLEASE...!!!

Dont need too high tech, can bake cakes and muffins and cookies can already xDD

And can buy those utensils too? lol damn i am greedy! boos.

Moving on......

The rest are beauty-related stuffs already.

First is a perfume!

Jeanne Lanvin

Pretty please? I've been wanting this since FOREVER.

Ok, I dont really have anything else in mind already sigh.

This is proving to be very difficult!

Hmmm....

Can I have a facial package? I wan one from Kose or Fancl.

Speaking of packages, manicure and pedicure packages are cool too!

How I wish I can have nails liks this!

*laughs*

I cant really think of anything else now. I need money though! If you bring me out on a shopping spree I will be damn happy too haha *dreams*

By the way, yesterday was super good. Mad happy with all the things I got. Photos up soon....xoxo!

p/s: still thinking about the smashbox eyeshadow singles but they are so expensive at $30 each! *smacks head* why am I so poor????

Max's ROM

2009-09-24T08:49:00.010+08:00

I like this photo that's why I am posting it again! Heeee.

So as I was saying, Max's ROM!!! As Weisheng put it "那个臭小子终于结婚 le!"

*giggles*

The place was at some Taiwan Resturant at Liang Court.

Food was not bad, except for the weird sweet rice which nobody like. I totally dig the pork ribs though! No photos except for this first dish because I was too hungry, plus it seems rude to stop people from eating just because you want to take a photo haha.

There was wine served as well, but I didn't take it because I am not a wine person. No class lor *shrugs*

Cortina adores the wine glass so much that she asked the waitress whether she can take it home or not LOL...

super da shuai ge HAHAHAHA

Took about 2 - 3 hours to finish all the food? And it wasn't a lot. Look at the menu!

After that of course is photo taking time!

Weisheng and KengKiam

with Max

with Jobi

with Shulien

no idea why I laughed till like this. Nowadays very dangerous, a lot of candid photos. I must remind myself to act cool all the time so even if candid photo I will also look good muhahahas.

After the long lunch, I went home despite being very tempted to join them for a mini photoshoot at the beach. Reason being, I am very tired and I scared I will fall into the sea.

Another reason is because I need to replenish some energy because my plan was to go to Dragonfly for the night! Reached home around 4 plus in one piece (thank goodness I didn’t fall into the MRT tracks) and K-O till 8 plus. From 6 plus onwards, my hp has been ringing with calls from Fangyi, Ashley and Peiyi but I still managed to go back to sleep.

No I am not a pig, I am just very tired after going without sleep for over 30 hours!

Will try to blog about Dragonfly by this weekend. I have school tomorrow and I am going to try to be a good kid and do my assignment xDD

By the way, random thought ahead.

This morning, I felt SO damn happy to be in a multi-racial harmony society as I was munching on Hari Raya cookies. So looking forward to Deepavali now. Ok scatch that, ~~Mooncake~~ Mid-Autumn festival please hurry and come!

Kim's house party

2009-09-23T20:31:00.012+08:00

OOPS for going missing AGAIN.

This time I had a valid reason! last week was lecture intensive week which means we have lectures every single night. Super tiring can. Thank goodness for Ashley who sent me home every night except for Friday where my dad picked me up instead.

Last day of lecture was actually on Saturday which is the start of my CRAZY weekend!

First, I had to go for work. Can I complain a bit first? Yes because this is my blog haha (see what I mean by being too hyper recently?)

Anyway, I absolutely detest going to work on Saturday though it is a good opportunity to clear up work. Like filing, which I suck in. HATE paper work. Anyway, work is still not going fantastic and I shall not elaborate too much on it.

After work, I had lecture at 1330. No way could I have made it on time if Ashley didn't pick me up. Too bad we are not able to make it for Mcdonalds before class!

This is my lecturer for the whole week, Dr. Kostas. He is Greek, brought up in France and currently working in UK. And he pronounced "focus" as "fo-kus!" LOL...

Also, he drinks Polka milk tea (or coffee?) every single day.

Class ended at ~5pm. Totally do not understand last lesson =(( Returned all my Amath to teachers already. Differentiation, integration and applying them for management methods arghs!

with June

To reward ourselves for surviving one whole week of lectures, we decided to have a party at Kim's house!

that's Kim preparing dinner for us!

Spent over $150 at NTUC not inclusive of alcoholic drinks lol...

running team

How I wish I can be as sporty as them too. But I seriously hate jogging!

We love taking photos and my camwhoring partner for that night is Shi Han.

More photos are up on Facebook haha.

And the girls for the night!

i totally have no idea what I was laughing at!

Oh oh, Kim had this deck of magic cards which we said he used to cheat young girls =/

Above picture was Kim telling his story and the below picture is us me giggling away.

Recipe for a great night?

1) FOOD!

2) DRINKS! (Preferably alcohol =pPp)

3) Camera to capture the silly moments and wonderful memories =))

And so we start!

Daring Youyi and Oslyn to touch their cheeks together because of a stupid comment Youyi made hahaha...

Played a lot of different games. One of the games we played is "Dragonboat". It was a pretty mindless game, just to see which team can drink faster.

And presenting to you the losing team.

And the winning team! I am in the winning team!!!!! Most of us drank pretty fast lol...

me, rongyao, jade, sam

And the guys who likes to show off their jerseys.

arsenal, ManU (wearing meh meh tshirt haha!), Liverpool, Liverpool

yay got 2 Liverpool =))

Kim mincing the fortune cat.

Bored? Prob tired. My hands look freaking long in this photo ._.

Oh ya we even played Blind Mice! Not drinking games all the while.

Zach is super funny! Took so long to catch someone =p

something like jenga

After that, we had a 不能说的秘密 session again. Which basically is talk crap all the way till morning. This time round, we didn't have to do the "who would you choose if you are going to be on a desserted island?" game hahaha.....it's almost the same people from Rongyao's house and we already know each other's answers.

So left Kim's house around 7 plus in the morning....??

Thank goodness Sam sent me home! Managed to get some exercise (no I did not sleep) before I headed out again for Max's ROM ceremony.

Cabbed over because I was late already!

Ok abrupt end. I am feeling damn sleepy already. So little time to do the things I like! =((

Will try to update the rest of my weekend as soon as I can. And the birthday wishlist that I promised Peiyi. Omg, can I just say I wan a Tiffany and Co Key necklace?

xoxo!

2009-09-10T00:54:00.002+08:00

Does anyone of you feel guilty if you have to go on MC?

I do, even though I really don't think I can go to work in my condition. Currently, my white blood cells are working very hard. Lots of pus oozing out of my woundS and the red area around them is really big la =(((

Now troubled over the fact how I'm going to go to work on Friday sigh!

My dad is the best oh. He said "just buy insurance then fall down already...never buy nothing happen..." -___-

My mom second best. She said "fall down because of chasing bus not worth it at all. at least u tell me you saw a shuai ge or diamond not so bad...." -___-

My sister third best. She said "how you fall? Whole body down ar?! wahh i never see before anyone who fall like this lor!" -___-

At least my brother kept quiet. Only complained when I ask him to do this do that. But he straight away shut up when I point to my knees and said "very pain!" keke...

My best friends for now = panadol + vitamin C

By the way, Peiyi actually wanted to get me a hamster for my birthday this year!!!! But then I told her I won't be at home most of the time so that idea was abolished. Should I do a birthday wishlist this year too? It's so nice to dream of the things that I want to have...but for now, I can't really thing of anything.

Perhaps, tomorrow.

Clumsy me

2009-09-08T22:45:00.002+08:00

Everything is going bad for me these days but today takes the cake.

I actually fell down while chasing after a bus.

Ended up with the places below having wounds:

1) knees
2) right side of my hip
3) right palm
4) left elbow
5) Right thigh

ZZZZZ. Can you guys imagine how I fell? It's totally whole body on floor except for face lor.

Fucking painful, especially the knees.

Doc gave me an injection + 2 days MC. I think this is the first time I got invoiced over $100 for a visit to the doctor.

Post-exam celebrations

I realise that I didn't blog about a lot of things! Like the night at ButterFactory and post-exam, Phuket and so on. OMG!!

Anyway, am feeling rather free cuz woken up by some idiot who msg me in the morning (haha i hope he wont read this!) so I decide to skip Butterfactory because I didn't enjoy it very much. Actually I can't remember whether I enjoyed or not! =/

Moving on, I finished my exams on....19 August. So having a short break now, ask me out people!

Had a long post-exam celebration because the paper's in the morning!

To be truthful, I really enjoyed the exams period because I didn't have to go for work! I was practically telling everyone "YAY exams coming I'm so happy!!!!!!" LOL....

Watched quite a bit of WGM which is awesome btw. I did study la, but then I think I'm a genius by nature. I only spent like a max 2 hours on studying each day lor. and I always finished my paper quite early lol. Hope my results won't be like shit!

Everyone's in a good mood as exams have finished!

liverpool, ManU, Arsenal.

GO LIVERPOOL!!!!!

Headed for sushi at Clementi.

Nopes not by me!!! It's by 3 guys haha. They had like, 10 plates each?! Goodness.

After eating, and feeling a bit bored, they proceed to self-entertain as usual. It's amazing the antics they come up with.

And we finally proceed for our next activity.

OMG the KTV session we had is CRAZY alright! It's more of like a concert, we had a Jay Chou concert by YC who's really good at rapping and we did some Lady Gaga songs too. Everyone was like "Let's go club sometime soon!" hahahaha.

Super duper fun xDD

Headed for spicy buffalo wings next!

While we were waiting for our seats, since we were such a large group *laughs*

The food took a really long time to come though! *pouts*

And the HIGHLIGHT for the dinner:

eating their level 6 wings

I did try level 3, 6 & 7. It was really bad, I only took one bite of level 7 and I wanted to cry. Cannot speak at all! Passed the rest to Sam. How come he seems to be able to take it much better than me when he claims he sucks in eating spicy food too?! Hmmm...

Of course, we can't just end at dinner can we?!?! Hehehs.

Headed over to Yishun/Seletar dam for some homemade ice-cream.

Ice-cream uncle: EH, dont anyhow ring the bell. now 7th month you know!

The ice-cream's really good. While there, I felt that I was like in Malaysia. No tall buildings at all, and the atmosphere's just very very relaxing~ ;)

The ice-cream uncle is on the right in blue!

*******************

I feel strangely happy today. I just feel that my heart has grown lighter. The past week has really been sucky, and I really hope things can improve! Just gonna ignore stupid things and just concentrate and 加油 for myself!

My mom kept asking me if JJ called me at all, and I had to keep telling her no. She is so insensitive can?! *shakes head* Everyone (maybe just my mom and Peiyi??) is feeling pretty amazed that we didn't talk to each other at all after we decided to break up. Should I have tried to talk to u? Don't think things will work out in the long run anyway I guess.

Finally come to accept the fact that I am single again! Gonna make use of the time to do a lot of things! I haven really thought of what I want to do though HAHA. But then again, just thinking about all the possibilities make me smile and I can just feel the bubbles of excitment. Heee, guess I'm really like a child.

Super tired.

Sleepless nights these days.

Workload increasing, or am I just becoming more inefficient? (-.-!)

Got super frustrated with some people today. But managed to control my anger and all was well once I left the office. Amazing what office environment can do to you.

Today, I acknowledged the fact that no matter how much I do, how much I try, people just don't really care/bother/appreciate the effort that was put in.

So then, why should I try so hard? I just find the way things are being done ridiculous. Period.

仿佛还是昨天
可是昨天已非常遥远
但闭上我双眼我还看得见
可惜不是你陪我到最後
曾一起走却走失那路口
感谢那是你牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔

~~happy anniversary.~~
