Hey hey, Sam here, filling up at Christine's request due to her computer being indisposed. Anyway, here goes, shall attempt to write it in her point of view. er. yeah.

Hitch hike!
Sam so does not know how to get around in her neighbourhood! We were trying to get to the nearest ATM which is very very far. *loves own neighbourhood as the ATM is just downstairs. Then she brought us up this long longgggggg flight of steps and through this weird maze bit. It was so spooky, the dark bits and the lack of directive arrows. What if there's a fire and people get lost in the maze? *am thinking in an engineering point of view. Anyway this man pops out of no where and me getting sick of Sam's stubborn I know my own neighbourhood rant, goes to ask mysterious man for directions. He's really really nice and offers us a ride to the place since he was going to repark his car somewhere there. Sam had this really weird smile on her face. Mmm? Anyway, Sam's hitched a ride before and this is my first time! lol. Oh, we got to the place safely, and Sam tries another haphazard way to get to the MRT. Gosh the place is like a big construction maze. Luckily we got to the MRT in one piece after winding through several dark places.
Hello!

Am at Sam's house now updating. Hahaha... No I'm not cheapo or anything, but since the home computer is down, and I have no access to internet, I have to crash at Sam's. She's nice enough to let me use it. She better...hahah. Ok lah. Was at Zara@Taka and Guess@Taka. Bought this pretty cute green top. Heh. Was thinking of buying something nice-y for SP night, but didn't find anything nice... oh well.

HAHAHAHA! I have 2 new hair ties!!! Reminescent of Jennifer Paige's daisy hairtie in the MRT. *LOVES her hairtie. Hahahah. I'll be wearing it a lot. It's a little ex though. About 15 bucks (but there's 30% off! YES! YES!)

Then we went to Changi Airport to looksee and err... see the new mtr station. I've never really been there anyway. No actually I've never been to the new station. So yeah. Hahaha... I'm Sua Ku. Anyhow. Was fun. Had ice cream at Swensens. And hahah... a stupid encounter at the escalator. It's too silly. We were betting about who could sit at on the escalator until it turns horizontal... so yeah. hahah... it's was embaressing. Hoho...

For Ming
Thanks for the job, I really appreciated it and it was really fun working with you :D Wish you’d come back after the orientation camp, but you’re right, have to leave some time to slack before school starts. Come to think of it. I wanna slack too, but I want money as well. Hahha.


Heh
Mike smsed me yesterday and guess what he told me? That he was walking past the newsstand and had to do a double take because the cover of FHM reminds him of me.
Ok, starting now… laugh all you want, I’ll give you 10 minutes
*

Hahaha. The cover’s Irin Gan by the way.
Too funny.


Full Throttle!
Went to Marina with Sam to watch Charlie’s Angels 2 Full Throttle yesterday. Despite the lousy shitty reviews it’s been getting, I absolutely love it. Hahahah…. I’m a bimbo I guess. I like brainless movies with bright colours, funky music and dance scenes. The fight scenes were pretty awesome as well. There was a special effect every 10 minutes thereabouts. :) Some of the stunts are over the top… yeah, that’s my only grouse.

Justin Theroux as Seamus O'Grady is too delicious. And his Irish accent. *Faints. And the eyes! The eyes! :) Too gorgeous. *fangirl

YES! NO MORE!
Yes! I’ve successfully got rid of Nicholas! Wahahahha. After not calling or smsing for 3 days, he smsed again, one which I didn’t reply, as usual. This is day 5 of no call/sms! Yes. Good riddance. Hahaha.

I just got to sneak this part in
Joyce just emailed me and asked if I wanted to join a beauty pageant organized by FLP.

Know what's the weirdest thing about chatting on the mirc? it is the fact that you are talking to a total stranger. you could enjoy yourself or you could absolutely hate the other party, but it is the same thing. The person is an absolute stranger. Why am I talking to a total stranger? strange, very strange.

GUILDHALL SCHOOL OF MUSIC AND DRAMA, I bite my thumb at you!!!!!!
*whine, sulk, pout, groan complain, bitch* ALERT. I break 1 resolution here - Use of vulgar words. I haven't used fuck since a long time ago. Oh well. Whatever.

My organ examination was yesterday. Thanks Ming, Kok, Sam, Mike, SiewLee, Amir, Alex, Geoff, Dave, Janet and the parentals. For listening.

Grahhhh.... As you can already tell, it didn't go very well.

Actually. It did start well. Not too bad, in fact, as compared to the morning practice in school, where 6 other students were staring at me play the music. And it didn't really help that I was taking an exam for the highest grade amongst them. And that I was nervous as hell. And they were all STARING at me. I mean staring. Alright. So i did pretty crummy at practice. At the exam it was all peachy. My pieces were great.

Fuge/Prelude in C (Study Piece) - Pretty good. Missed one note, if not it's good. A little lifeless, partially because I was freezing.
Greatest Love of All (own arrangement) - Good. Even if I'd say so myself. Oh, started on one wrong note, but the rest is pitch perfect. Proud of it.
Kokomo/Karma Karmeleon/Heaven is a place on earth (Own arranged medley) - Pretty ding dang good. I mean, it had 7 pages! And I flipped the pages while I was playing the song! The speed is 135 beats/min! That had to show my skill somehow right?
Copacabana (Pop song) - BLAH. I had planned this to be the last piece because this was my best piece during practice. Best I tell you. I can play it pitch perfect, with expression (they give points for that) and can even bop to the music if they wanted me to. And how? how? It let me down! At the most complex part of the music, which I usually nagivate with ease, I bombed. Hit one wrong note and it's gone. Most complex and difficult part, which would have showed my skill. Bombed. Luckily I was able to come back from it within 2 bars.

Scales - I couldn't believe I got F# Major and E flat major in triads correct. Actually I can believe it. I've always been good at these scales.
Chords - He only tested me on one freaking chord! Which I got wrong! How the heck did I know that G Major Seven flattened 9th meant Gm7b9? Stupid.
Sight Reading - Meh. It was okay
Sight Transposing - I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I WAS TESTED ON THIS! WAIT. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HECK IS THIS! Mrs. Eng called later and told me it was out of syllabus, and that I should tell the examiner so. What the heck! Aren't examiners supposed to be up-to-date about what to test? Aren't they? For fuck's sake, he's an examiner for the oh-so prestigeous London Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and they don't know what's in the freaking syllabus? WTF! Of course, I played this stupid piece of crap music not know what I'm supposed to do to transpose it. What-freaking-ever.

Aural test - As usual. I can't believe I didn't get the triads position correct. I couldn't believe I got beat time wrong. I couldn't believe I got cadence right. I couldn't believe I got singing right.

Yes. That's it. I've ranted. Now all I have to do is wait for the stupid results.

This is so going to cost me my distinction/honours grade. :(:( I predict a merit or pass at the most. Boo-freaking-hoo.
Reminder
Oh and never ever wear a dancing skirt in cold weather unless you plan to freeze your ass off. I wore it b/c it gave my leg more movement because it's so flippy; so that my legs are not restricted to move wildly and step on the pedals. The price I paid was to freeze like mad. And possibly the examiner thinking I was trying to show some leg or something. Blah.

Anyway, due to the fact that my home com has gone nuts

I'm doing updates at the office. And updates at the office can only be done on weekdays. So 've talk about what happened on Sat and Sun. Make it short and simple hehheh


Saturday||I'm a nerd deep down. I know it

Went to Sim Lim with David to get the stuff for upgrading. Ok I thought I have it pretty all wrapped up, you know. Grab the processor (2 gig), RAM (256), another hard disk(40gb), and CDR and bam! I'm set. I'm so wrong. First off, if I wanna upgrade to the specs that I state, I have to buy a whole new motherboard (whatever that is). And then, because the new motherboard would be bigger than my current one, I'd have to buy a new casing. It took me 2 shops and 20 minutes later when I found out that a new casing is bascially a whole new CPU unit! *feels silly.

Anyway, another thing I have to think about is whether I want to get Pentium 3/4 or settle for AMD. AMD is about 100+ bucks cheaper than Pentium, but gives out lots of heat. It’s ok, because I can get a cooler at about 20 dollars and overall I still save. But what if AMD is not stable? And Pentium is of better quality right? Must think about it. Ok enough tech talk.

Lalala, then went home from Sim Lim after eating with David. Hahah… forced him to take the North East Line with me, but he’s going the other way :) Douby Gourt is a big mess! It looks like an airport or such, with the horizontal escalators and stuff. Hoho… Then Sam smsed me about the sale at Mango, and I was at Orchard at that time, so I thought I’d pop by Mango@Shaw to take a look, but later went down to Suntec instead to meet Sam. What do you know, Louis was with her. Bleah. I feel like such the intruder :( Heh. Shopping was okay. Bought a sheer-y loose off shoulder orange/red top. Hmmm nothing else. Had actually wanted to buy my flippy skirt, but couldn’t find it. Then went over to Mango@RafflesCity, Did somemore shopping, then made plans with Sam to hang out on Sunday as well.

Sunday

Sunday, went for organ lessons. :( It’s my last organ lesson. Tuesday (ie tomorrow) is my organ examination for grade 8. And I’m most probably not going to take lessons for the teacher and performing cert. Oh man…. I miss Mrs. Janet already! :(:(:(:(:( She was the best organ teacher I have. And so dedicated too. Maybe I should buy something for her. Something from Platinum and Silver or Aspial probably. Hmmm.

Oh then met Sam at Orchard to hit Zara and Mango. Was feeling so crummy (probably b/c of the organ lesson thingy) and absolutely hate what I was wearing (the Mango top I bought yesterday and ¾ jeans) so went to Mango and bought a mini and a top and wore them immediately. Mood brightened up immediately, lol. I remember walking pass this guy giving out fliers in my old clothes and when he offered me one, I shook my head and continued walking with my head down. And when I walked pass him the second time, in my new clothes, I gave him the brightest smile I can muster and exclaimed thank you! when he gave me this brochure that I really didn’t need. Hahaha. He was stunned. Like ‘Déjà vu. Didn’t I just see this girl in different clothes and different mood? Clones?’ Heh.
Then I proceeded to give everybody I saw dazzling smiles. Hahah.

Eh then went over to Bishan. Blah blah. Nothing much. Oh well. Got to go back to work. Later!

Fantastic


My computer crashed again. Know what the funny thing is? I just changed the hard drive 2 months ago.
dlusyfbvaeily;avweurya;eiry;aevura;weruhv;aesurhv;airuv;aeurv ;auewr This really irritates the heck out of me. Bleah. At least David's gonna help me upgrade my computer. So all is a-ok.

Within Temptation
Ok I heard this er, band from my FoRT friends and 'Caged' is really nice. Go download it everyone!
Barbie Pink!
Perfect. Now I look like a Barbie wanna-be. Lol. It's my nails. It's a shade of bright pastel pink right now. Now. People have always labelled me with the colour pink. *shrug. I don't know why. I have all of 5 pink tops in my closet. I prefer red (yum), black or white actually, for clothing. Anyhoo. My new nail polish is SO pink! Oh man. Ming says it's like the kind of nail polish you see on Malibu Barbie or something. Haha. Goodness. Eh but I like it a lot. It's funky. :D


Camp
Grrr... I had a lot to write but Blogger was down yesterday, and I couldn't update and all the stuff is in the office. What else? Oh yeah. I'm so looking forward to my Bizad camp! :D Too excited. Got the program and stuff yesterday and it looks to be kind of fun. Waiting for my senior (the one I gave my number to) to call me and errr.... confirm. I hate ice breaking games though. It's just dumb. Why can't they plonk us in Starbucks or Coffebean or something and tell us to mingle? That would be a more effective way to interact, yes? I can't wait till I'm senior or something, then I'll laugh at the atupid freshmen running about playing dumb games. Alright! SL is coming too. Yes!


Christine is THE COMPUTER GEEK!
Ok about half and hour more, then I've go prepare to go meet David at Sim Lim to get my computer parts. What do I want? Hee, I've no idea as well. See, I want something in the range of 40-80 GB memory. Windows XP, CD writer (AT LAST!) , higher processor speed (don't know how much), 512MB RAM memory. Don't kow how much it's all going to add up, hopefully David can help me install everything, hahha. Wonder if there's anything else I can upgrade too. I prefer to do it all at one go. Oh well, shall ask David's opinion.


Hmpf. SMSes are sources of Hmpfs
Stupid Yuan smsed me yesterday, asked me something about getting into Comm studies. I replied and asked him why did he ask, and he didn't reply me back. Hmpf. Ok, so what if I've replied him about 2 and 1/2 hours later? I was busy! Meh. Maybe I should sms him again, lest it's something important. Oh and Geoffrey smsed me too. Errr... apparently he wants to ask me out. Like only him and me. And I woke up this morn and er. There are 2 smses from him again? Oh man. What should I do?


Thursday, June 19, 2003

Meh. I give up on the previous design. Let me work it out first.

Wednesday, June 18, 2003

Things I have to wonder about. (1)Why the blogger ad is not covered. (2)Why are my entries so weirdly spaced out.
At the risk of sounding like a bimbo,


I'm going to say that I think my some of my BizAd seniors are really cute. Heh. Actually saw some of them at the medical checkup yesterday; they were asking people if we wanted to join the Bizad camp. And the coupld of guys were pretty cute. I on the other hand look so horrible!!! :(:( Glasses (woke up too late to wear contacts), bad complexion (I need flp back!) and the wrong bra and everything. Bleeeah.


Anyway, left contacts with one of the guys and when another asked me while I was walking upstairs again, I told him I already signed up, even before he could say 'Are you a bizad student?' Hee.


Got to go. Work. :(

Tuesday, June 17, 2003

Hee. Amir and I came up with this silly parody of Ah Beng speak today.

laserboy says:
helo christine, I tink u si beh chio. laserboi here 22 male, ride fast bikes, U wan 2 B frens?

The strappy sandals maketh the woman


*stares at feet.


I love my strappy sandals. Love them.


Everyone, please go buy strappy sandals. If you can get those from U.R.S, better. But just get them. Awww... you know what? I just realised I bought 4 pairs of shoes this year. 4 pairs. Do you think it's possible to buy 2 more without my dad getting pissed at me? lol. I need another for my organ examinations, and another for university. Maybe I'll sneak it into my room or something. I swear. Shoes are the most important part of a woman's attire. If you have a gorgeous dress and a pair of flip flops... you get the idea.



That is SO wrong! What I'm going to write next is not for people with weak hearts


You know what is so wrong? It's the fact that you have to do a urine test at NUS, and they put a childish, 'Singapore Ghost Stories' reading guy on the job. Ok I'll be nice. We have to do our urine test thingys, and to spare you visuals, I'm going to talk very generally.


I never got the idea of urine tests using cups. I mean. It's going to be so muc easier for guys than for girls right? I mean, a CUP, for goodness sakes. What's with it? It's so awkward! Anyway, then we have to bring the cup, over to Singapore ghost stories guy, and then he'd grimace (I would too) and he'd stick something inside. To check if you have diabetes? And then tell you to throw your cup and urine away at this bin, where, yes, there is several other cups there. Ewww. Have to pour it away first into a busket of you-know-what (yuck. it's super gross) and then toss the cup away.


Yes I sound super whiny and like a spoilt brat. But I hate it. It's so icky. It's just wrong.



Monday, June 16, 2003

Oh I'm a nerd, but I really like William Fichtner.

Sunday, June 15, 2003

I like


Sleeping in, especially when it's pouring outside, and the cold winds blow into my room. And then I'll pull my covers closer, and stay nestled in my sheets. Thinking. I'll get up when the rain stops (oh please, never stop!) and then I'll wear my fuzzy slippers and walk into the kitchen. Where there will be scrambled eggs. And I'll watch tv, and have breakfast.


If it continues to rain for the whole day, I'll stay in bed with a book. Preferbly Agatha Christie or Jane Auston. If the sun comes up again. I'll go to club and laze by the pool. And do laps. :)

Mother, we can't get enough by The New Radicals. Don't mind the funny title. It's a fantastic song. *Loves New Radicals.

Day of the Primary School Friends


Saw Xu today. Xu was the really really talented artist guy from my primary school class who got first for this global art competition thingy and had to go to Tokyo to receive this prize. A really really big deal considering it's published in the papers and all. The picture is gorgeous, if I may say so.


Anyway, saw him at Golden Mile today at the army market place. My aunt has a shop there. Actually probably the most popular shop there. And sometimes my mum helps out. So mum wanted me to bring some stuff down to pass to godmum. And then all of a sudden, Xu turned around and ahhaha, I'm like, I haven't seen you in a loooooong time! We talked a bit, and had to make way, cause there are LOTs of ppl behind waiting to buy stuff. Apparently, he's going into Chem Engn in NUS. I was asking him why, since NTU was more popular for engineering and moreover they have internships and stuff, and since he's so smart, he'd get in anyway. He was like me :) Heh. The name of NUS was enough to draw him over.


Then just talked to HCJC Fung, whom I haven't talked to for the longest time! He's going to NUS Chem engineering as well! Coincidence! Talked a bit too. They'd be coming in only 2005... bleah. Must catch up with them soon!


Okay, have to check on my orange flower plant thingy now!

Yay Me


Oh wow... I just posted my poem on the FoRT, and they said such nice things about it. It's such a special feeling. I mean, here's Hazy, who's such a talented writer, Jack (Bloon, a published writer!), Shazzer, Bmu, Splatty, and the rest. Saying nice things about my poem. *Haaappppppyyy :)


Here's the poem should anybody be interested. Heh heh.


Hands
(For my grandmother)
Your hands are aged.
they fly numbly over the cloth
piecing together the different,
contrasting scraps of fabric,

each coming together into
a homely piece of quilt.
It is amazing
how your skills

can bring the different
characteristics of people
together into one coherent
close knit unit.

Your hands are beautiful.


Actually 'Numbly' was supposed to be 'nimbly' but I had a typo. Kind of changes the sentence a little, doesn't it? Anyhoo. *loves her Fort Friends

Dad and I are swimming buddies


In honour of Dad's day tomorrow, I will declare dad as my swimming buddy! :D Hahaha... Dad's so fantastic, at least he goes swimming with me at the club every week. Unlike Alex :p. Pity. Alex is such a good swimmer, what with his life saving badges and all. I could really do with some help. Having some breathing problems lately. Hmmm... anyway, think going to up on my laps. Going to forget about the timing first, but just keep doing laps. Actually, someone actually told me I swim as though I'm in a 50 metre sprint competition, trying to get the lap over and done with. Think I have to slow it a little.


Anyway, Yay for dad! :D Happy father's day, Dad. You know I'm still a daddy's girl :D

*Muack* Kiss Kiss!

I love my lips now! Long live Origins Lip Remedy! Want pink lips? Want lucious lips? Use Origins Lip Remedy!!! I love Origins!!! Yaaayyyy! Man, I got to find someone to kiss right now.
strappy sandals, a pretty pot plant and an exlusive top by a local designer


are the stuff that I got today. You know the kind of feeling? When you go out, and you JUST have to buy something? Yeah. Everywhere I went today, I just feel the need to buy something. Anything. This, my dears, is itchyhands-itis. It makes you waste money.


Lalala... went back to SA with Sam today to get my cert. That I'm back at school, I realised how much I missed at. But yet at the same time, how much I am looking forward to Biz School. Oh yeah, in case I haven't told you guys yet. Biz school is my final decision. I mean. It's like that Sheryl Crow song. It's not having what you want, It's wanting what you got. So I've got Biz School. Heck it's my first choice. Most people would be psyched to get their first choice. They are not weirdos like me.


Then went over to Sam's house to watch Chemistry, which she recorded for me. Hahah. It's a pretty good show, I mean, by Singaporean standards. The jokes are not lame. At least, to me. Heeeh. Sam's mum is so nice, cooked spaghetti for us.


Oh oh... Forgot. Bought this funky top from this shop at Queensway. Apparently the clothes are all designed by local designers and it's sort of a collaboration between these designers and the business people. The designs are so funky! I really really like a tank top one with a Roy Litchensein (sp?) style sketch of a woman. And another halter neck top which is sort of similar to the Bodynits one that I have. Too cool. The price okay, I guess. 35 per piece, and considering the fact that it only has 20 pieces of each design, it's pretty okay. Bought a top. It's white, and has these red sketches on the hem. Liked it because it reminded me of this really nice Levi's top that I like.


Hmmm... then went to Bugis. Hmmm. Nothing much. Bought a pair of strappy sandals from U.R.S. Hmmm. And what? Oh oh. When I was at M)phosis, was trying out this black halter neck dress thingy, and was walking over to let Sam see it, when this guy who was with his girlfriend was standing beside me. So I just happened to glance over and uh... saw him giving me the once over. Then he smiled at me. Ok uh... That may not mean anything. Right? I mean. He was with his girlfriend. Oh well. At least it wasn't as bad as the Watson guy.


Oh!!!! I bought a plant! A small pot of flowers! *gush gush... so pretty! Tiny orange flowers nestled in dark green leaves. Was at Ikea with the family, and begged dad to let me buy a plant... as it encourages responsibility etc. Yaaayyyy.... I love flowers. :) So much. Actually wanted to get a daisies one, but they didn't have it. Don't know what kind of flower this is, though. Oh I saw a roses one as well. Hmmm... but don't think I know how to really take care of it.


Hmmm... *runs of to check on flowers.


testing! :D:D

Oh an update


3 calls and 1 sms the day before. Last night 4 calls. You know who I'm talking about. I'm giving it another 5 days. Hahahah!

A mad dash. And KuShinBo

I bought The Lovely Bones!!! Yeeessss :D:D So happy. You know the kind of happiness you get when you buy new books? You know? Heh. *Flips through and inhale scent. Hmmm. Oh sheesh. Now I have to cast my Mrs Dalloway and Sophie's World aside. But Lovely Bones is really nice. Not as morbid as I thought it would be.


Oh, so met PeiShan yesterday to meet the class. We were pretty early, so PS went to do something to her SIM card and I went to MPH to buy my book. Then met Shuhui. She's looking so pretty! And Pearly, who bought lotsssss of clothes from Esprit. Hmpf! I want clothes toooo... Then the rest. Sandra, Aaron, Kok and Kenny (who was wearing a UGH sleeveless top.) Anyhoo, we talked about university entrances quite a bit. Hahaha... wasn't listening much because I was stuck in my own thoughts. SMU called me again and offered my place to me again. So now I have 4 choices. Fantastic.


Oh oh, Aaron really wanted to eat at KuShinBo, so we went over to eat. And we talked about the university choices somemore. Hahaha. So funny. We were talking about my dilemma, and I was like 'How?' And at once, ShuHui said 'Stay! NUS Biz!', Pea said 'Comm Studies!' and PS went 'NTU Biz!'. Hahaha... You roughly get to see how my mind works.


Oh Sandra said we get called up for interviews for our first 3 choices. Hmmm this would explain why I was called up for Comm Studies.


Food!
And we talked about Finding Nemo a lot. Hahaha... Gushed over every little funny scene. Mike says he's like Bruce. Eh? So silly. Stop the Fish are not food, they are friends, Mike. Heh. Oh Aaron and Kok were nice. They had Buffet and the rest of us took Ala carte, and throughout the dinner, they were passing food to us. Hahaha... guess the waiter didn't dare to scold us as Shuhui was pretty fierce to him. Heh.


Mad Daaaash!
Oh so we went to Tower. Actually, Kings and Kok went to Tower, and we followed. Then Pearly suddenly exclaimed about the sale at IS and suddenly the 4 of us just started rushing there. Leaving a confused Mike, Kok and Kings behind. It's so funny, and Pea kept laughing like it's the funniest thing ever, and then all of us were laughing as we rushed to MArina :D and on the way we met Ying, and Aaron and Sandra, who were probably thinking what we are up to. Hehheh.


Oh but when we reached IS, they were already closing! :(:(. Horrible. They were supposed to close at 9.30! Hmpf. Pea is going back tmr to get the clothes. Aiiii..... I wanna go tooo. Hmpf. *whine,sulk,whine. Should have told her to get the dress I wanted, she was eyeing the blue one and I was eyeing the red/orange one. Heh. So we shopped a little at Marina. Didn't really get anything, the shops were all closing. That's awfully early for shops to close, ain't it? It's only 9plus - 10. Ok. I wanna go Esprit soon. Should call them girls who are not working. Heheh.


Oh work, work.

WHAT?! You meant whatever I just typed is gone! ldsufelasrufvalweihvraweilhrav,ierhakb eivruha k

*calms down. No. I'm not going to shout expletives. Resolution. Remember. Cut down on expletives. No. Expletives. No. foul languages. No. F words.

Damn.
Dilemma

No matter what I do, all I think about is you. even when I'm with my Boo, boy you know I'm crazy over you

Ok, maybe this isn't the dilemma I was talking about. What would I give to have a dilemma like this rather than the stupid one I'm facing now.

I'm thinking about Mum. Maybe I should choose NUS Biz. You know how the older generation (esp relatives) would think that NUS is always better, just because it's the first university and stuff? It's just that I want my mum be able to say to relatives that her daughter is in NUS. Mum knows. She understands that the 3 universities are about the same anyway, that some are stroner in some fac and that we cannot compare just by namesake. She told me to choose what I deem fit and what I would actually enjoy.

That's just it. I enjoy both business and Comm studies.

I want my Mum and Dad to be happy. I love them so much.

Just wrote a really long entry, but stuffed it somewhere else because, it's really too personal

*takes her stream of consciousess away to somewhere else.

I realised

that I didn't state something, and that would make this an inaccurate blog/journal.

I got into NUS Business School! Which is my first choice and which I wanted very badly. But because I'm the fickle-est girl in the world, I've changed my mind and decided I wanted NTU Comm Studies because they do offer me a direct honours course. So I'm appealing. But in the case I don't get it, I'm going to work my butt off for a Honours course at NUS business. So there!
Let me count. Yesterday. Nick called me 4 times. Messaged me once. I answered the call once, the first time, to tell him that I’m eating. I answered because my parents were looking at me in this funny, why aren’t you answering? look. I didn’t reply to the message. If you think that’s mean, I’m trying to get him disinterested. If you think that’s not enough, I’ve already told him more than 3 times it’s very weird and I’ve never answered his calls until last night (and once at the very first time). I’ve never replied to his messages (well except for last Friday).

And this morning he messaged me again!

This guy doesn’t give up! Arrrrgggghhhhhh!
BOOK CLUB!

Yaayyyy. This is the thing I'm really excited about! :D Am joining a book club that Anna's organising... with a lot of other cool people. The first book we're going to read is 'The Lovely Bones'. Sounds really cool, maybe will go out to buy it these couple of days. We're meeting on the 8th July to discuss about it. Yayyy.
My skirt is so loose

It would probably fall off if not for my hip bones. I'm wearing my future state skirt again. Woke up late this morning and just grabbed the first thing I saw, which happened to be that skirt. I was still late for work though. It's hanging on my hips. It's really really loose. Sigh... Shouldn't have bought M. This really sucks. S was too small. I'm not of a normal size.

Went to watch Finding Nemo with Sam at PS yesterday! Yaaaayyyy :D And I'm in love with Marlin, Nemo's father. Nemo is very very cute, but Marlin... awww... he just steals my heart. He's timid, and very cautious, and yet he fearlessly goes in search of his son. It does help that he's so tiny yet so serious, and that he's a adorable little clownfish! Awww... my little Maaaarrrllliiinnn-baby. :) And I like Crush too! It's the tortoise dude and he's so cool! Lol. 150 years old and rocking on! Too cool. What a great movie. I'm definitely getting the DVD, can you imagine the cool stuff they'll have inside? And Dory! She's the most adorable absent minded fish ever. We love swimming, swim, swim swim And the pelican-what's-his-name. And the 3 sharks! Oh... everyone in the movie actually! Watch it, all of you! Oh and I got the nemo and squirt toy! Heh... I'm too juvenile

Soooo.... many nice movies to watch.

Oh and I got my acceptance package yesterday. Wow, NUS has a camp booklet! There are about 20-30 camps going on in the month of July! OMG. So many... how to choose? Anyway, maybe Business School isn't the thing for me; a couple of friends have told me so. So I'm appealing over to Comm Studies. Hope this is the correct decision. Moreover, Comm Studies has a direct honours degree. But I'm thinking, with everyone getting a direct honours, is it going to diminish the value of the degree? Would, let's say, a NTU Business direct honours degree be of the same worth of NUS Business degree where one has to work one's butt off to get? I don't know really.

Sigghhhh.... I really hope I made the right choice. IF I get accepted into Comm Studies, I would not be able to go back to NUS Biz.

No cell phone day

Forgot to bring the cell out today. Feeling a little lost. Not that I've never been without the phone, but still.

The last entry...

is so outdated. I typed that on Thursday but it didn't really get posted. I was My darling dear bro's borthday!Yaayyyy. Got him a shirt from BritishIndia, and am getting him the new Metallica CD, St. Anger. *hugs my brother. Yeah I love him even when he drives me nuts.

So what happened on Saturday and Sunday?

Sunday. How to buy a movie ticket in 1 hour

*Am a movie whore. Hahaha... just watched Bruce Almighty a couple of days ago, 3rd row seats at PS and today I'm back at PS. 2nd row seats, for How to lose a guy in 10 days.

Somebody tell me this isn't true.

But, props for Sam for going down to get the tickets an hour before. But the fact remains that (1) It is Plaza Singapura (2) It is Sunday (3) It is the Great Singapore Sale period (4)It is a popular chick flick we're watching (5) The abovementioned chick flick has just opened.

Of course, of course there would be a HUGE amount of people wanting to watch it. Ok. Anyway, was watching it with Geoffrey, Sam and Louis. I am feeling so short and petite for once. Geoffrey is pretty tall, Sam wore heels and Louis is very... well long. Ok I'll be nice, he's tall. All of them are very tall. I am normal. So with them, I'm short. I'm wearing normal shoes. Moving on.

Hmmm... Matt is too cute in the movie. Yummilicious. And he and Kate Hudson had this really amazing chemistry in the movie. In fact, they are as good as Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. It was an okay movie, I loved it, like I like all chickflicks actually. (Well except for Crossroads. Can you actually believe I watched that movie? God)Quite enjoyable.

Hmmm. Geoffrey is nice, we talked quite a bit. And he was nice to shop with, ahahha. Went to m)phosis at PS too. And I found the most gorgeous dress! It's a white tube flow-y dress with this ribbon strap. So reminiscient of Kate Hudson's white tube dress in the movie. Aww... I'm so in love with it. Too bad it is in the wrong size. Actually I thought I could carry off M, but I think S would fit better. Awww. :(

Oh. anyway, didn't talk much to Louis, yup. He's all occupied by Sam. Heh. And the only thing he said to me was so smirk-ery. 'Oh Cinderella has to rush back huh?' Yeeessss dear, Cinderella's gotta go. Buh bye. Geoffrey was asking me what time I had to be home and does he really have to answer like that? Hmpf. Ah well.

Bro's not at home... went to some training camp thingy. Am missing him.

;dualrivhjrvalejrhvlaejkhrv. *runs off to pick up call from Nick.
Saturday. Shopalot. Praying too

Went out with SiewLee. Haven't seen that girl for a long time. Yup, so we planned to meet up to go to Bugis to shop. Had to scratch off plans for Bishan because there weren't enough time. Bugis can actually fill up an entire afternoon. Heck, it can fill up an entire day if you are into detailed shop-by-shop shopping. Before that, SL wanted to go to pray at the Si Ma Lu temple, so I went with her. And also prayed. Interesting how only when you really need assurance that you turn to religion. :) Anyway, I prayed for my U results hahah; that whatever choice I make, it will be the right one.

After that we went to M)posis, where I got a top. They do not have much stuff left anyway. Yeah. The top was REALLY cheap. 9 bucks! :D and I like it too. So... yay me :) And then bought a skirt from Future State, which is pretty nice. Just the right length and loose enough without dropping off my hips, heh. The price... well let's just say that there was something like that in Zara, and it's 10 bucks cheaper. Ah well. Just as long as I like it, right?

Then we shopped around. Didn't really buy anything much. Oh saw a bunch of pretty cute guys. They were there to perform, I think. Pretty cute :) hahah. Didn't stop to see their performance though.

Then we went over to CityLink, where we were meeting Sam, Ming and PeiShan for dinner. It's for SL's bday. Yay SL! :) On the way, I bought 2 books from MPH. Pride and Prejudice (I love that book too much!) and Mrs. Dalloway. *So happy. Can't wait to read Mrs. Dalloway.

[start confession] And I bought a CD too! I can't believe how cheesy I am! I bought the American Idol Greatest Love songs CD! *weak smile. Yes. I have something about Clay Aiken and his beautiful voice. Oh man, I can't believe I'm admitting it here. Too cheesy. [end confession]

Actually had wanted to eat dinner at Marche at Suntec. (Can you believe I've never been to Marche? Can you? I can't. But truthfully, I've never been to Marche. NEVER. That's sad) but the queue was too long. Ditto for NYDC, Fish&Co, Kenny Rogers, Country Manna (didn't like the service anyway) and others. So we took a bus over to Glass House Fish&Co. Hahah. Much much better than Suntec Fish&Co anyway. Shared this Seafood platter with a couple of them, and stingray.... Mmmmm.

Oh and we bought advance tickets for Finding Nemo too. Whahhahahaha. No more 3rd row seats! Yes! *pumps fist in triumph.

I found Nemo!

Hmmm... Nemo is just the most precious thing in the world! Was at Giant today with the fam. I was looking for the Nestle cereal which had the Nemo toy. (Lol.... I'm so juvenile. I'm 19! For gosh's sake, and I'm looking for a Nemo water squirter toy) So I had the toughest time finding Nemo (haha... get it?) and was about to give up. All the figurines they had were either the seahorse or the yellow fish thingy. Then this kid walked pass with his dad, and he's like 'I want the toy!' and his father was like 'ok' and bent down and took a cereal box with the seahorse toy. And guess what I saw behind the box? SQUIRT!!! The tortoise! That was pretty hard to find as well so, errr... being so kiasu I took it immediately. Then I proceeded to look behind every cereal box to look for Nemo. Found Nemo on the 2nd try :) So... now I'm the proud owner of Nemo and Squirt! Yaaayyyyyy :D:D

I want Marlin and Dory next, the flapper fish toy... it's so precious!

Juvenile? *blush

Oh as I looking through the cereal boxes for Nemo, a couple of guys walked past behind me. And I heard them say really louded (for my benefit, no doubt) that 'Oh well, I DON'T like the cereal, but OF COURSE I would buy it for the toy. I mean, people do buy it for the toy right?' *roll eyes. So what if I'm buying it for the toy? At least I'm brave enough to admit it. Hmpf.

Nicholas strikes again

Yeah, he smsed me again today. Was feeling quite okay, so I smsed him back. Felt quite bad for ignoring his last couple of smses. We actually talked quite a bit. Hmmm... okay. So maybe he isn't as creepy as I thought. But still.

It's you... AGAIN?

Hmmm... had dinner with the fam at some restaurant at IMM. Was looking around for a mirror when saw this guy with the parentals. Was thinking 'Pretty cute', kind of yummy looking. Glasses. Oh man, I so dig guys in glasses. Anyway, hummm.... his fam and him left pretty soon after we sat down to eat. Then mum and I went to this shop to err... shop. Then Mum was commenting about my '100 bottles of miniature perfumes' and I was whining about the lack of space to put them, when I turned around. And in mid whine, I was looking straight at him.

That. Was. Embarressing.

I don't know why. But it's embarressing.

Of course he recognised me. I think. My tank top's pretty obvious with hugh german words marching across the entire front (Bro said I was making a 'loud statement') and there's this recognition spark thingy. So I immediately steered mum in another direction.

Then I went to Giant to get my Nemo toy. And I hurried to the cashierto pay for my precious toys, er I mean cereal. Then this lady in front of me was beckoning at somebody. She's waving her hands at the person. Her waving hands are seriously near my face. Her waving is getting too enthusiastic. It flies dangerously in front of my face. I was looking at her with a huge scrowl. Then I thought she looked familar.

Wav-ee came over to help her.

In mid scrowl, I turned and prepared to give a nasty look at the wav-ee.

And again. there he was.

Great. Just great. Out of the 25 check out lines in Giant, I chose the one where I would scrowl at the mother of a cute guy. This is too much of a damn coincidence.

Bruce Almighty

Oh, went and watched Bruce Almighty with Sam yesterday at PS. I swear, I will never ever try to buy tickets 30 minutes before showtime at PS. We got 3rd row seats again. Reminiscence of the last time we watched The Matrix Reloaded perhaps? Nonetheless, it was a great movie. Very very funny. Laughing so hard throughout the entire movie. But I'll remember never to get tixs so late, or I'll end up with a stiff neck. And that's how the cookie crumbles. ;)

Anyway, this old guy was sitting beside me, and he decided he HAD to go to the washroom mid movie. Of course, like all moviegoers, I wasn't wearing my shoes; took them off. And of course, he would have kicked it away as he walked out. Of course, that would cause me to panic. Of course, he'd turn around, pick up my shoe and dangle it mid air, and return it to me. Of course, that would motify the heck out of me.

Oh ok, one last semi interesting incident.

It's you. Again. Again

Was on my way to PS and saw this pretty cute guy standing under the shelter kind of thing, waiting for someone, no doubt. So of course. He was there. He was a hottie. I had to look, right? That's only natural. Then he caught my eye. So I looked away. Then he started walking too. Towards the same direction as me. But a different route. So naturally I walked faster, errr... I don't know why. Running away perhaps? Hahah. So. I walked really quickly to British India. Stood there for about 60 seconds before I thought it was insanely stupid. And I turned around to GV upstairs. And just as I was walking out. Who was there? Hottie!

:) I am SO NOT implying that he's following me. I'm sure he's not :) I mean seriously.

I need something to make me happy

1. A copy of Pride and Prejudice

2. Any copy of Agatha Christie's Poirot Mysteries

3. Movenpick IceCream. Rich rich IceCream this time, not my usual sorbet

4. A huggable Nemo/Marlin/Squirt soft toy

5. A balloon

6. A DVD of Pride and Prejudice and The Importance of being Ernest. Mr. Darcy! Colin Firth!

7. Love. From the best guy in the world

8. A lot of clothes. A lot of pretty clothes. (Which I swear I will buy tomorrow) and shoes to pair

9. Barry Manilow CD. (Yeah I'm cheesy)

10. Warmth.
I just realised a long entry I wrote wasn't posted. *fume
I feel a headache coming up

On top of my cramps.

I hate the time of the month. It feels icky and horrible and I just wanna curl up and sleep. Not be stuck in the office with harsh lights. 2 and a half more hours to go till home time. Damn. I can't go swimming today. I would have to make up for it on Sunday. I want to practice more. Can make 10 laps now. I'm gonna push myself to at least 25 laps everytime I hit the pool.

I hate periods. Maybe I should get pregnant, yeah. Then I won't get periods.

*whine, sulk, scrowl

I'm being ridiculous.

Wednesday, June 04, 2003

I think

I have to write something sane and un-corny after that gush-y previous entry *slap forehead. I am so.... grah! Whatever.
And oh. DON'T ask me how much work I accomplished today. I'm gonna hate you if you do. I am so The Procrastinator.
||Sometimes I dream - severe corniness alert! So NOT me!||

Had one of the weirdest yet kind of nicest dream yesterday. Was in a kind of competition. A pageant, but it's not only for females, but a female/male kind of pageant. You know, kind of like a 'Miss World' cum 'Mr. Manhunt'. And you had to join with a guy partner. So both have to win it together. And the result is a 'Couple of the year' kind of thing. What a concept huh? Kind of captures 2 markets together, hahah. Although I am sure there would be people who are put off by the idea. Especially people who hate pageants.

I'm sure that there's something like that somewhere out there, but since I do not know for sure, I err... hold all copyrights for this idea! Hahah. So I was saying. I joined with this guy and the surprising thing was that it felt so special. It's like I know it's a dream and stuff but it felt special and wanted this dream to go on to see what happens. And he was holding my hand as we walk across the stage and stuff. Think the organisers have come up with a silver/blue theme and the stage/studio place was huge. Streamers, balloons and stuff flying down from the ceiling. About 5 million people. Me, in a silvery blue halter neck dress and him in a white suit. And it felt so special. So real, although I know it's a dream (paradox, perhaps?). I don't know how exactly to put it in words, but yeah. It's spectacular, it's special. Magical.

And it's a dream, for the love of God! Lol

I would love to experience it again.

||Sorry Guys||

for the weird placement of the tagboard. I'm not that great at html, so I had a bit of trouble getting the tag on the left hand side. It's Dumpling festival! :) Mum made A LOT of dumplings over the weekend, so now we are having dumplings for breakfast and dinner. :P That's okay by me, I luuurve the Nonya Chang; so sweet and delish. We gave away about half of dumplings though, so...there isn't that much now, about 60-70 plus of them now.

Hmmm... watching a movie with Sam later. Bruce Almighty. Heard a lot of good reviews from the Fort people, so I'm fully expecting a good movie! What other movies do I wanna watch? Finding Nemo,Italian Job,Phone Boothand the new Charlie's Angels one. Too many movies, too little money! Oh man.

Am not jogging much lately, but doing swimming instead. Yay... Am going swimming again this Friday. I can't wait. I've been fitting into an M size lately, so it's sign that I'm getting to the normal size :D The last shopping trip with PeiShan and Sam, I had a M tanktop thingy. It has some german words on it. I was thinking, won't you want to know the meaning of the german words before wearing that lest it means sth like 'Can I go home with you?' or something. Lol. Meant some numbers, methinks. Possibly a year. Maybe 1945. Hmmm... isn't that they year of a war? *shrug. Not a history student. Must go ask Koko. But then again, he failed his German. Lol. We'll see.

I think. I want to buy some daisies. They are so pretty and so easy to take care of. Hmmm.... maybe some daisies in my room or something. White and orange daisies :D They give such a happy vibe!

Alright, work beckoning.

||Kiss Kiss||

I like my lips today :) I love Origins Lip Remedy and how it made my lips less chappy. Yay!
Pisces
Seven out of a possible ten are urging you to forget your timid Piscean ways and take up adventurous invitations. If you have a chance to take a trip somewhere, take it. Otherwise, you may regret the lost opportunity.

I kid you not. That was my horoscope for this week. And then, I remember the week before when Pea asked me if I wanted to join them for Phuket. And yesterday, Kimmy asked if I wanted to join her and her friends to Bintan and today PeiShan said she and SiewLee might be going to Genting Highlands/Cameron Highlands and if I wanted to join them! Hahahah… Ok, maybe I should go along with my horoscope and go for all three! :D:D Anything for a holidaaaaaayyyyy. I love holidays. I love mini-breaks.

You know people who stay in Britain go on mini breaks to places like France? That’s so cool… :) Hmmm Singapore’s pretty cool too, we’re near places like Bali, Phuket. And Koh Samed! Just read in the papers a couple of days ago that it’s gorgeous, and unexplored. It’s raw. It’s unspoiled. It’s… Clean. I like it :D Anyone wants to go to Koh Samed? Lol

Lalalala. Oh Depression :(

Got my first REAL depression yesterday. I mean real. You know how you always read in magazines how people get depression and feel like shite and stuff? And you go, Riiight, like that could ever happen. Yeah. That was exactly how I felt yesterday. Depression, I mean. It’s scary actually. It’s like… you feel that the world would never be good again, it doesn’t matter if the world died tomorrow, because there’ll be nothing to really live for anyway. You feel that things will never be better, things will never look up. The only way from here is down, and try as you might, things will never be okay. So why try at all?

I need a little love.

Holly : You know those days when you get the mean reds?
Paul : The mean reds, you mean like the blues?
Holly : No. The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long, you're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?


And then I felt this yesterday afternoon. *BAM! Right when I was buying lunch. And this quote came to my head immediately. It’s funny… because I’d always been thinking what the heck Audrey Hepburn was talking about in that quote and I’d never experienced it. And all of a sudden, there was this fear that creeps over me. And the scary thing is that I don’t know what I’m fearing. It’s just something that frightens me. And I have to run away. Run far far away, so that nothing can get me. I have to hide, from what I don’t know. But I have to hide from it. I didn’t tell anyone, just in case they thought I was mad or something… but it was so real. And then I knew what Audrey was talking about, I had the mean reds

Anyone ever had the mean reds? Lol
