It is not fun... :\

To stay home on a friday night.

I know it's juvenile, and I have to get over this 'staying home on a friday night is so loserly!' thing.

Like in Sex and the City (I'm paraphrasing) ---

Carrie 'So what did you all do?'
Miranda 'I stayed home'
Charlotte 'What?!!! But it's friday! It's date night!'

I am so Charlotte!



Last saturday, while lounging in my pjs and reading a book, I suddenly had this overwhelming desire to GO OUT. Cannot be so loserly anymore!!!!

So I made a promise to myself - That by hook or by crook, I SHALL GO OUT the next weekend. Saturday and Sunday.

Sigggghhhh.

Maybe when I grow up I'll be more sensible like Miranda. (The same Miranda who said something like 'I'm so horny! It should be a law for pregnant women to be married. So then someone will be obliged to have sex with you!'... Hah)

Haha....

So with that determination in mind... my wednesday (see entry below), thursday and friday were pretty good! Well, could be better, but never mind, I could eat dinner myself =p

Are we snobs?

Anyway, tanned with Cher on Thursday at Sentosa Siloso Beach! I'm not exactly nicely brown or anything, but my shoulders are peeling cause I was already burnt a little during the SMP camp.

So I was lying on the towel pretending to read, but actually spying on the group of lians and bengs over at the pavillion a stone's throw away from me. Cher was just lying there soaking up the sun. (Following conversation is paraphrased... I can't really remember what we said)

Me 'Har har. Look at them. The group over there'

Cher removes her Burberry sunglasses (yes I'm envious :p) and looks at the 2 bengs playing soccer. Beng1 is skinny, fair and is wearing white boxers. Beng2 is larger built, tattooed, wearing tank top and board shorts.

Me 'You don't wear white boxers to the beach'
Cher laughs
Cher 'And he's so fair'
Me 'Exactly!'
Cher 'Quite gross'
Me 'Ya... and not nice body also'
Cher 'I thought you said this was the beach with cute guys?'
Me 'Well the last time I was here (with Dan and his friends), there were a few'

So I was thinking... maybe we are a little mean la.

Me 'Do you think we are snobs?'
Cher 'Huh? What do you mean?'
Me 'Like I was laughing at those ah bengs'
Cher 'That's cause we are not like that culture, I guess'
Me 'You're the last girl whom I can imagine being an ah lian anyway. I mean that in a good way'
Cher 'Actually you know right, when you don't smile, like when you are walking, you look a little aloof'
Me 'Is it?!! How come everyone says that!!'
Cher 'Not really the whole face la... actually only the eyes.. and the mouth... which is like the whole face actually.'
Me laughs
Me 'Maybe cause I don't smile? I should start smiling as I walk around then... but that'll be really weird and creepy'
Cher 'Haha... that's true.'
Me 'Is it like Y's (our mutual friend) kind of hostile?'
Cher 'Not really, it's not that kind of unfriendly. Your look is more like ... the Can't-be-bothered look. The I'm-too-cool-to-be-bothered look'
Me 'Oh... that sounds like a good thing'

Hahahaha...

Later went to Coffee Club Express to eat. Yummy Mushroom and cheese pie!!!

Coffee and Gossip!

Then met Chris Chen and Mel at Bourna Vista Mrt, where they picked me up to go Holland Village Crystal Jade. We were to have coffee and gossip, but in the end we ended up eating xiao long baos!

I stole the below picture from Chris Chen the Drawer's blog =p


Heh.

It was quite interesting, cause we were talking about Lian and Bengs as well, and we were 'reminiscing' how it was like to be a Lian and Beng in secondary school.

'Sharp combs!' 'Outdoor bags carried high up the back!' 'Giordano windbreakers!' 'Hush puppy socks pulled up high!' 'Girls with hair tied back and with the 2 fringes hanging out!' 'Greasy hairstyles for guys!' 'Converse slippers!'
Wahahahhaha. I was guilty of one of the above. Or 2. Oh my god, the more I think about it the more scary it gets. And I wasn't even an ah lian, not even close!

But funfunfun! We were just sitting at Crystal Jade for like an hour talking about secondary school days and stuff... can't stop laughing!

It was fun hanging out with them!

Poink poink!

Today I went with Mum to Amara's Mary Chia to get a facial... some treatment facial thingy.

OUCH.

I didn't realise it involves squeezing every pore you have to make you have totally clean pores. And I also didn't realise I have quite so much pores! And I didn't realise I can actually withstand the pain and not scream out until it was over!

Haha.

My skin's pretty smooth now! I can't stop touching my nose! Damn smooth!!! And gahhh... I can't stop carassing my own face, which actually sounds a little sick, but ya, so smooth!!!

So yups, I'm kind of going back there every month or so to do follow up facials! I swear, facials are addictive! Heee....

Totallyyyyyyyy Maddddddd!

Hehe.

Since I stopped interning at SICC - I haven't talked much about it right? Maybe I can show you the pictures of the gifts I got from my colleagues.

Ateetude tee from Zali, Kat, Dilla and Rani, SICC namecard wallet from Sally and Sheena, SICC cap (they had too many extras from some competition some years ago), SICC pin from Ronald and Citigems bracelet from Krishnan (the boss). In addition, Jessica gave me 20 bucks for helping out in the ladies open (i guess, she didn't really specify), and Adeline passed me an ang pow. Hah.

Sometimes the people whom you think cares and values you the most don't exactly care... Maybe it's my expectations, but a 'good bye, best of luck' would be a nice thing to say. I don't even need gifts, honestly.

Anyway!
Monday I went on a date with Dan =D
He wasn't late!!!! Hahaha.

The thought was nice, I guess, he wanted to get me the heart shaped praline chocs from Guylian (which I have been demanding all the time! Haha). Made me wait outside Cold Storage at Lido, wondering why on earth he's shopping at Cold Storage while he went in for a while to look for them.

Oh ya! We passed by some people doing survey, and the guy asked him 'Are you guys a couple?'. Dan's answer made me pissed off!!! Haha. No seriously, it was a little weird to hear him say what he said. But still, I guess... he said 'No' was his first reaction cause he thought the guy was asking him to do survey.

Bleah =p

We watched MindHunters... an pretty excellent movie, I thought, in terms of pacing and suspense. I really liked Christian Slater (Spoilers ahead, skip the next part if you are planning to watch) though he was killed off like in the first 30 minutes. Bleah. I liked the storyline, very Agatha Christie '10 Little Indians', although I must agree that the reveal could have been done a little better, and the motive can be loads loads better? A closet murderer who has been murdering since he was a kid, and harbours some crazy notion of being able to kill people in the FBI... that's a little tired and overused. And oh, who doesn't die after being whacked on the head with a fire extinguisher?!! Wah lau. I like LL Cool J, but it's a little too much right? Unless his head is made of diamond or something.

Actually, I spent half the movie clutching Dan's arms and burying my face into his shoulder.

=P

We had dinner at Le'Emozion, now known as Ambush! The food is prety good, and I like the red table cloth! Very pretty.

I like taking photos of him from across the table and he hates to pose alone =)
Seafood in Marinara! So yummy!

Anyway, later we walked around a little, went to Kinokuniya, then to the Red Lounge to sit on sofas. He wanted to bring me to Lips Cafe, which I think, has closed down like few months ago. HAha. But I like the Red Lounge. Kind of... where it began? I don't know...

One of the photos when we were not actually laughing / looking away from the camera / blurry / weird looking / blinking. Haha. Not the best photo, but lala. =)






Went back from there. I always like it on the train, and he's sleeping and I'm just sitting / standing there, looking at him sleep.

Wednesday!!!!

Woo hoo!
Wanted to go down to school to pass the donation tickets to Steve. (Everyone donate to the NUS Flag day! Proceeds won't go to buy stupid stuff like gold plated toilet bowls! Heh. Proceeds to go to more than 20 non government subsidised charities! I'm not like just plugging for Bizad, but in general for the flag day itself. See for every 5 bucks you donate to NKF, how much actually goes to the patients? What you donate to the Flag day will definitely help a lot of needy people!!!)

Met Ailian on the bus, so I passed it to her instead. Thank goodness! HEh

Wanted to go down a bit earlier to meet Yvonne and Sujuan but I was already running late! So I went to meet Mike at Lido. I was kind of early, so I shopped! Heee...

My first Stila product! Rouge pot!

Very steep though, a small bottle like this, and it's 40 bucks!!! Wah Lau. Look at the size! I've put it beside a bottle of nail polish to let you compare!

So expensive... but so cute! I just couldn't resist! And the blush is really really nice also...

I will wear it a lot!




And it turns out... I wasn't supposed to meet Mike at Lido, but at Cineleisure. *slap forehead. So after all, I still wasn't on time for all our meetings, and he still had to wait for me. Haha...

Anyway, he passed me some stuff he got from the office!

These!

Hahahahah!!!!!! Thanks Mike!!!!!!

MAC Stuff, which I'm gonna use to redeem my new foundation! Some of the lip colours are actually very nice! And I'm so addicted to lip glosses! So it makes me really happy!

And Salvatore Ferragamo perfume samples!!!
Yayyyy!!!


Went to watch 'Wedding Crashers' cause he had free tickets. The perks of working at SPH =D
It was good! So funny, and I have a newfound crush on Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson! Very funny stuff, and the girls are gorgeous!

Later went to Alley Bar, where I had a HUGE frozen Margarita! (To Mel and Weiyuan - THISSSS BIG LEH!!!! Like Ice Kachang!!!! WAhhaha) I love it! I'm gonna so drag people to go there with me next time!

And then cabbed down to Zouk where I met Weiyuan! I was late (as usual haha) and then we bitched about people like D and oh... D!!!! Hahahhaha. Met Mel, and I was telling them about frozen Margaritas...

Me - 'They are THIS BIG!!!'
Weiyuan - 'Ya la ya la'
Mel - 'She's high already right?'
Weiyuan - 'It's the MArgarita speaking'

Heehee...

We went on to drink more... tequila shots, apple shooters, lychee martini, cosmopolitans!!! Danced like mad! Met Cher! She said she'd never seen me so mad! HAha... messaged Dan 'I heart you!!!!' cause I felt like saying it. He was like 'High already huh...'

Hehe...

So wild! Mel is good!!!! Guys just melt when she's there! Hahha... I love clubbing with them! So fun!

Although there was some one I really wanted to dance with! It's you it's you it's you! He was probably couch potating. =D

I'm still a little high, I guess. HAha

Some guys are sleazy!!! EEks.

Okok!!! Gtg meet Cher in Sentosa! Ta!

SO ANGRY!

OUTBIDDED FOR ALL!

YUCKKKKKKKK!

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I will have a 5 day week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This sucks. Totally.

My vocab is so juvenile but what the hell.

Bloody Irritating!!!!!!

I'm in a pissy mood now.

Why??



Bid so high for what?!!!
Got points means must throw them around ah?!!!
You are just bringing up the overall average bid!
People look at that, feel scared, then raise their bids as well!
So the overall bid will go higher!
WTH!!! I curse you, 1000 points bidder, whoever you are!!! (I'm sure it's not one of my friends...)

Irritating!!!

It's as simple as that ... keep the bids low, everyone wins!

In case you're wondering, I've blurred out my bid point, but rest assured it's a lot closer to the min bid point than the highest bloody bid point.

So if all goes well,



My timetable!
Only, I might not be able to get 'Reading British/World Texts' cause I do not have the prerequisite 'Introduction to Literary Studies'. But I am not allowed to take Intro to Lit cause I got A for GCE A level lit.

... So what the hell.

I've sent an email to the department to ask though.

Sian, next semester's timetable is not as good as last sem's. But not bad la, if all goes well, I'll end early on Friday and have Monday free! Wheee! I would HATE IT if I had to end at 6 on Friday.

HATE IT. With a passion.

Wish me luck!!!

MAD couple of days

Camp MakingADifference was a blast!

Monday I met up with Dan after work (he was late again! :/... I was crying. Basically I only get 2 reactions when I'm mad. I either ignore you or I get cry-y. I don't do the whole blow up thing. He was late cause he fell asleep... I can't blame him much, cause he didn't get much sleep the night before...) Anyway, we had dinner, then met Mel and WX to shop for the auction things for the camp. It was fun! Cause we were choosing the cheapest things to buy, and calculating the quantity, to see if it's worth it to buy in bulk or not. Dear was really nice to accompany us around, helping me push the trolley (though he claims he did it cause it was fun to push the trolley around :P) I bought a whole lot of chocolates for the colleagues, as it was my last day at internship on Tuesday. Oh!! And I REALLY wanted the heart shaped Guylian chocolates, and even after dropping a lot of hints to Dan to get it for me, he didn't! :/ Haha... shopping was fun though.

Tuesday was my last day at work... I think I'll blog about my internship seperately.

Wednesday was the SMP camp. I think to put to put the entire experience into words will make this entry really long! :P Honestly though, I think the entire camp crew has put in so much effort to make this camp work. The evening to late night meetings, the recee (even though I wasn't there ...), the buying of logistics at Giant, the packing of the camp booklet, the cooking of food for the auction, transporting the logistics from the car to the multi purpose hall, lugging around 60 eggs and a portable radio, staying awake after all the campers have went to bed to debrief.

I suppose most people won't appreciate what's done until they have organised a camp themselves to see firsthand what's going on. And detractors can sprew rubbish all they want till the cows come home but that won't change the fact that there are people out there who see the amount of work we put in, appreciate us for it, and thank us for our work.


It may just be a simple message, but she took the time to write all the camp crew personalised messages. I think the camp crew were all very happy that someone actually makes an effort to write something nice to all of us. Not only her actually, mentors from Swiss Cottage also wrote us something. I think it's very nice that some people actually appreciate things like that.

I think it's easy to get dejected when you have unappreciative people.



Anyhoo, 1st day was good, auction and games went pretty smoothly, I think. Except for the 'I don't like corn' incident which had me bristling with pissed-off-ness (hehe, I like the word 'bristle', very cartoonish) (Sorry Mel, I know she's your friend, but I can't help but still feel that it's a little selfish la...) OH!!!! Mel got caught on this variety show thingy!!! HEeeheee... I think I know what show it is... shall remind all of you to catch it when it's on! Hahaha... I hope the camera won't end up catching me in the frame as well though, cause I was carrying a huge orange Happy Meal balloon. Oh I saw Kelvin too, with his girlfriend, so it was very weird.

The night walk was fun, I got to be a facilitator for the first time ever. I've been OG leader or facilitator in all the camps I've been in... always a camper or camp crew/organiser... so this is a pretty new experience for me. Brought the WS mentors around... overall they were pretty alright, save for this one guy who irritates me so much cause he refuses to put in effort when everyone was trying hard, and they were being held up cause he refuses to play the game properly. Very irritating!

I got a little weird-ish... I don't know what's that about. Mainly felt neglected by him. I don't know why either... Thanks Mel and Wenyi, for sitting with me when I was really down, for the listening ear, for the advice, for the reassuring. =) What would I do without you guys :D PuaySan too, came over, asked me if everything was okay. To the guys too, they didn't really know how to ask me what's wrong I guess... so they were just asking me if I was okay. Haha... OMg I'm such an attention seeker! Hah.

Celebrated Daniel's and SoonTien's bday... Forget about cutting the cake, we all just attacked the cake. We had fruit spritzer too!

Went to shower, then went to meet Dan for supper. He got lost while trying to locate YWCA, while in the meantime, I got stuck at YWCA, waiting for him. He found YWCA in the end, but I was at PS already. In the end though, he found me. Drove down to Serangoon area to eat nasi lemak.

The night was kind of eventful, I guess I won't really elaborate on it...



2nd day!!! It's time for YCTO! (We kind of overslept, and missed the morning dip...)
Guess what we saw on the way to Esplanade!



Mel and I are afraid of GIANT cockroaches!!! Haha...
We stopped by La Senza to get lingerie also! Hehe..

Hm... overall the station was alright, I guess. Cause no school was as good as we were last year!! It got a little irritating when we had to practically keep persuading and forcing the schools to be a little more participative in our station, cause somethimes there are only so much you can prod, the rest should be up the mentors themselves.

Nevertheless, it was a fun experience, sitting with Mel at the open space between Citylink mall and Esplanade. Very tired, falling asleep, thinking about stuff, missing him...

The skit was eventful too... I think it's actually quite amazing that so many groups came up with such interesting advertising skits despite the many 'demands' we placed on them. My favourite was Swiss Cottage's (the boobs thing was too funny!), WestSpring (quite funny at times), the school which made a skit using Pocky and the tree, and the REALLY DAMN FUNNY one using Men's Health. That skit was so funny!!! I was really laughing so much... especially when the guy fell onto his balloon stomach. HAha.

Of course there are some unpleasant incidents with one of the school groups which resulted in Mel being upset. But to be honest, I do think all of us put in a lot of effort already, and if they want to complain, they are just asking too much.

Anyhoo! Don't care! HAha :p

The camp crew 'skit' was fun! I was only acting as a normal mentee, so I didn't have much lines, but the rest were really fun! Like Attention seeking Hexiang, Beng Soon 'Royston' Tien, and Lian 'Apple' Mel. Hehehe.

The river crossing... well. Let's just say I think our year's mentors did a far better job! No hints, and we came up with the idea ourselves. Our box was so much smaller. We took 3 hours, they needed 4 hours. In fact, we were quite slack about the rules of the game, cause if we were strict, I think they'd not be able to finish it in 4 hours.

In short we rock la :P

Day 3!!! MEl WY and I overslept again. Hoho... went down to the workshop, and they were all writing notes, so we took pictures!!!

Here are some I like!

2 years ago... :)

Back L-R
GeokLeng, Me (in Val's sweater) Cher, Ryl
Front L-R
Val, Peiling, Ade















The morning after haha :D
Clockwise from the black tshirt
Weiherng, Peiling, Cher, Me (really tired... oh lookie, I'm wearing one of those yellow bands. Heh), Mingyao, Larry, Weisheng, Kaian, Ade, Geoleng, Ryl, Val.

We still meet up to celebrate each other's birthdays =)
Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like if I hadn't met this group of great people. What if I have been in another OG? Would we be close? Would be collectively run for office together? (Weiherng - A.HonGen, Weisheng - Publications Chairperson, Me - Academic Chairperson, Larry - Vice Acad Chair, Val - FOP ViceChair, Cher - Jam and Hop Chairperson)

Miss the days where everything was simple. Sitting at lectures being singled out by the lecturer for being the noisest group there :P, the first sem where we grabbed 6 seats at the computer centre and called out our bidding points to each other... sitting at the canteen in between breaks just talking and talking and talking...

We used to meet up after classes, at least for the first sem... Have lunch together, then sit down and talk. It could go on for a few hours. I remember during the first semester, a couple of us would go to the canteen after class, and sometimes I'll accompany Val till it's time for the english lesson thingy. That's about 2 hours or so. Talking to seniors, talking to other freshies, grumbling about school work.

I wonder if seniors looked at us in amusement like I think I will be doing to the freshies when school reopens.

I do miss those days.

I am not growing up (edited)

I know I'm supposed to write something about stuff that I bought during shopping trips and stuff, but somehow I just lost the feeling of writing something frivolous. So I just I'll let the pictures do the talking, and write about other stuff instead.



Sometimes I wonder if buying stuff may be my way of filling in voids in other areas.

It's not fun to buy things anymore. It's become a numbing experience.

I am bored again today. Went to watch movie with bro, Fantastic 4, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Of lousy parenting.

Saw something today that really made my blood boil. A kid was being scolded by his father for some reason I don't know. He is crying and his toy truck was on the floor. Alex told me he was being hit by his father on the back by the toy truck. He is crying. Then his mother picked up the toy truck and proceeded to hit the boy on the back of his head with her hands! The sound was so damn loud that I could hear it even when I was a good 10 metres away.

I don't understand it. You do NOT hit a 3 year old kid on the head. He could be very naughty, he could have been playing on the road, he could have been throwing a tantrum. You do NOT hit a kid at the back of his head. Isn't that just common sense?!

F*ck it. I am just thoroughly disgusted. I am also angry at myself for not doing anything. But seriously, what would I have done? I don't know. I almost wished I didn't see what happened so I wouldn't feel so angry.

Bloody inhumane parents.

Being abandoned?

I am feeling abandoned again. By many people. Am I not trying hard enough, or am I trying too hard?

Sometimes I wished I didn't feel sad and angry so often.

Other times I wonder how things would have been like if I hadn't took this path. Would I be happier or sadder? Would I have experienced such upsides and downswings? I don't want to know. I am glad I took this path, I guess. I wished it was smoother. Or do I?

What I want

I can't remember if it was an episode of Sex and the City or something I read somewhere... maybe 11 Minutes (Paulo Coelho). Paraphrasing - people want to feel pain and anguish, then they are convinced that they are in love. Something like that.

Was telling Sam - I want to feel everything. I don't want numbing stability. I want to feel the extremes. Not happy, but ecstatic. Not sad, but heartbroken. Not angry but furious. I want the depth of emotions, the light hearted moments, the intensity of intimacy, the flirty banter.

I guess different girls crave different things. Maybe some crave stability. Maybe some crave passion. I don't know. I guess I don't know what I want, that's why I want everything. Hur. :p

Aiyaaaaaaa. I don't know what I'm talking about sometimes.

I want to see you.

Decided to have a life anyway, I'm kind of not 'reserving' weekends anymore. Yvonne and I were talking about how girls would drop everything to go meet a guy... all the time. And guys would do it... sometimes. She was telling me about her ex, who would 'allocate' timeslots to meet people, and she would be 'allocated' some time between his group of friends A and group of friends B. And we were talking about how there is how girls differ from guys.

Something we both have in common - while waiting for the guy to ask us out, we'd try as hard to leave weekends free. And then when people ask if we are free during the weekend, we'd try to hedge, until it's confirmed that we'd not meeting him, then we'd frantically try to make other plans.

Quite pathetic right. Haha.

Some girls la, not all. But still -

Decided it's a stupid thing to do, and decided to have a real life already! Also more independent, I guess. I am growing up and learning :D Hee. I know you'd be proud of me right? :)

Vote! :p

Please vote! Show him I'm right! :p

Prataman :D Dates with Dan

Spontaneous outing last Thursday. :)

Came back from the SICC Ladies Open totally tired and and ready to sleep. Oh man, women are totally scary. Men tournaments are so much easier to organise compared to women's. Seriously. I have newfound respect for Jessica for doing her job. I used to find her a little scary and in my own words 'abrasive'. But when you got to really know her, and start talking, she's actually very very nice. The nature of her job is such that she's always very stressed out, I guess. After seeing what she had to go through in her job, I honestly felt very bad for having judged her so soon.

Took a cab back. :) Dan was 'with me' throughout the cab ride. On the phone.

Was talking to Dan at 1 plus, he was hungry. So he drove over and we went out for prata at Bukit Timah!

His Highness is shy :P

















Anyway, supper with him was nice. Kind of didn't see him the entire week, so I guess it was kind of nice seeing him even just for a while.

Dan cuts his prata with a spoon :p I couldn't stop laughing as I watched him eat prata. He says eating prata 'western style' using the spoon as a knife allows you to cut prata into shapes! Like squares!

So I tried it too, and here's what I got -
















A star prata! My second one, cause the first was gobbled up by Dan halfway through cutting it. :/

So what exactly is a Prata man?

Is it this?




No!!!

Dan showed me what a real prata man was.





This -


















Hee hee.

So cute!!!!!I love it :D

Dan ate it up immediately after this photo was taken. :(

Poor prataman :/

Anyhoo, it was a very nice way to end a totally tiring day at work. I slept in the next day and went to work only in the afternoon, cause they told me I could :p

I said I would blog about last Saturday and Sunday too!

Saturday was out with Dan also. I planned the date :P

He was late... :( So angry at first, but hm... I don't really stay angry for long (until the next time la)

Went to the video room at Esplanade, we watched Beauty and the Beast. I like the video room! Very comfy, and the decor's really nice. Very cosy-ish. Really like it.

Then went for dinner at Marche... sat by the window facing the street. I like that seat best actually... never really like the ones inside the house thingy. Very confining. Actually was supposed to go Ichiban Boshi (sp?) at Esplanade to eat, but decided against it.

After dinner we walked back to the Esplanade... there was a performance there. It would actually be quite nice to sit there and listen to the music by the river, I think. But there were lots of people crowding there, and the music's not that good also... Walked to Fullerton. I wanted to look at the merlion up close. It's nice at night.

Too bad I didn't bring a camera to capture these moments!!! :/

Sigh.

We went up the Swissotel, the glass window thingy that Ben showed me the other day. The view's still pretty nice. But we didn't spend too much time up there, cause it was kind of hot. A little disappointed haha, cause I thought it was nice actually.

Anyway, went over to Wheelock for a bit, walked around. Embarrassing incident. =p I went home, and he went to meet his friends.

Tomorrow - SHOPPING! All the stuff I bought!

Wheee!!! Photo time again. Important Questions

Kelvin's 21st! At this restaurant called The Ship.

We had free flow oysters, tequila, whiskey blah blah blah... haha. Very sinful! Heh. Food was good, it probably costs a bomb though.

I had a glass of tequila, called Dan and talked nonsense, then downed another shot of something they passed me. I think it was vodka too? Not sure.

I shall let the photos do the talking... If it looks like I took photos with a lot of guys, that's cause my sec school class has a lot of guys :P And there is no photo with Qihan cause I couldn't find him. Haha. And if it looks like I have the same expression in every photo, you're right. And look! After 2 glasses of tequila and vodka straight I'm still as sober in every photo! I'm good!

Important Question 1



Went shopping with Cheryl on Sunday. I have a very important question to ask you guys (Click the thumbnail above)
So what do you think? Let me know!
It was fun catching up with Cher again. Went to the food fair in Takashimaya... I want to go back there! It's fun!
I bought lots of cool stuff too, will upload photos as soon as I can!

Important Question 2
Who is cooler?
Mememe =)

Or Dan? =)


Vote me!!!! =D=D=D (Hm, should I put up a voting thingy?)

Missing work?

Okay. THis is going to sound totally weird after all the 'I hate work!' entries I have posted, but I will miss a couple of things when internship stops.

Being near enough to meet Dan after work

Curry Puff from 19th Hole

Mee Siam from 19th Hole

Hanging out with Yvonne and SuJuan

Talking to Marina (She's damn funny!)

Being near to Bishan Junction 8, a very nice place actually

Being near to AMK, also quite a nice place

Earning minimum wage for sitting around doing nothing

Being excited when I'm on the golf course

Riding a buggy

Going to go the Kelvin's party now, will write more about my sexy saturday and fabulous sunday! :D

Luckily,

I didn't write a whole long passage about how I hate work, cause I honestly did hate work yesterday.

Everything straigtened itself out today. Realised that once I finished what she asked me to do (although I had till wednesday to do it), I was able to enjoy the weekend without that nagging feeling riding at the back of my mind all the time.

I hate to have work hanging at the back of my mind all the time, that's why I get it done and over with before I leave for the weekend.

Just received an email regarding Bizad Rag and Flag this year. It makes me nostalgic about times past where I was so involved in every single activity that Bizad organises. Have I lost that feeling of closeness? I am still very passionate about everything that goes on at Bizad. I am unhappy that the batch one year below is totally disinterested in rag (save a couple of them). I honestly want to go back to help out. BUT. (This is still a huge But here) I still feel weird sometimes when I go down to help at Rag. I've never really wrote down in words how hard is it to walk down the flight of steps at the foyer and go to a table where you can sit and help out. It's like all eyes are on you as you walk down the steps. I still haven't got to the point where I can bravely go down and sit anywhere I want. I need to have people there I know before I can go down. Does that make sense or sound weird?

Aiya!!! So boring! I am such a boring person blah blah blah blah blah

At work. Was in the General office doing some paperwork today and talking to Phil. Gm walked in - 'Hello Phil' and proceeded to stare at my non covered shoes and shorter than usual skirt. Honestly, the reason I think he makes us wear covered shoes is because he has a toe fetish, and if we don't cover it up he'd slobber all over our feet.

Of course, I understand that if he happens to read this, and decide to sue me, I might lose. Might only, cause he must prove that what I wrote has caused him financial/reputational harm in some way or another. Given his (already bad) reputation, I don't see how a toe-fetish could harm him. Makes him more of an interesting character really.

Read about the terror bombings in London. Truly, how things strike when we least expected it. Kind of wanted to cry as I heard what happened, especially what happened to the double decker bus. Suddenly it hit me - the randomness of it all, the fact that these Londoners are just doing what they have been doing everyday, going about their routine. Then something like this happens. When it can happen to them out of the blue, when it can happen when they are doing mundane everyday things that any one of us could be doing halfway across the globe... it becomes so real.

f-ed up

seriously, if this bloody stupid plan of yours backfire, you only have yourself to blame, christine chew

don't know what's wrong with me today. so damn confrontational about everything

why do i always have so much angst?!

i'm trying to stop myself from swearing. i actually kind of thought i had it under control. i don't use the f word anymore, not that i've always used it but i used to use it sometimes in the past. but i realised whenever i get pissed with someone, the first thing that comes to my mind is 'what the f---' and that doesn't really make a difference from actually saying the word does it.

sometimes everything is wonderful. sometimes it's not enough for me.

someday we'll understand everything.

so many questions, i need an answer.

really don't feel like going to work tomorrow. everything's a drag, nothing to look forward to.

i really needed you today.

Congratulations and Ulterior motives =)

I'm disappointed Madrid didn't win the bid. It wasn't a hot favourite to begin with, but what to do.... I love Spain so much =) Paris would also make me happy, or NYC, or even Moscow . London was kind of my last choice. But sigh... what to do?

Congrats London =) Better do a good job!

If you look at all the websites, I think Madrid and Paris has the best designed sites. I'm not biased! Haha... theirs actually looked like a lot of effort is put into the site.

Anyhoo,



Went to the talk today, was late by 25 minutes, so effectively I was there to attend like 5 minutes of the talk.

I have to work my ass off so as to graduate with 2nd upper. My plan would require me to get at least Dean's List for the next 2 semesters to be safely in 2nd upper. But! I will do it! :D Graduating with 2nd lower will be kind of a waste of time...

Was in school, went for breakfast with Cher. Ate the Vietnamese prawn mango salad, which is delish.
Actually I only ate the mango and the prawn. Totally skipped the mint leaves. That was like wasabi flavoured. EEks.

Went over the Spinelli's. Redeemed my free drink... when I was telling the counter guy 'I'm Chris, here to pick up my card' And he was like 'Oh! Yes here it is, sorry very dusty'... I think I might be the only one who puts my card there. Heh. Bought brownie for dear :D

Went to look for Dan at his school... I didn't really dare to go look for him... although I really wanted to! :) Really really really. But I was wearing shorts, so I didn't dare to walk ard like that la. So called him and started to whine about everything, ask him to come fetch me, ask him to tell me where the location was, ask him to direct me to a washroom so I can change. Then I was standing outside the campus map... trying to locate his block... he came over and knocked me on the head. :/

Actually I kind of knew which block it is la :) You told me which one before...

Took bus with him to Tampines. then had lunch, went to the arcade. I am great at KOF! :D:D Went shopping...

Took bus back again... :) Hougang Mrt, he made me send him back! Ulterior motive you! Haha.

And I want to add, I found these old school tic tacs! It's kind of empty cause Dan ate half the box! :P
I need to go find those tic tacs that opens both sides...

Wheee!

Yay!!!!! No work! I slept till 8!

Except when I was woken up by Dan at 3 am. :p

No work!

I'm going back to school to collect my Spinelli's drink, go for honours talk then go find Dan. Yay!

I want to show off!

Some new stuff at home.

Btw, don't you just love imageshack! :D

Anyway, some updates. Watched Initial D with Dan. A little mad, cause we watched on opening day at Marina, bought tickets like 5 mins before the show started, so we were camped out at the first row. Neck totally painful! Heh, but the show's really good. Better than I expected...

Last saturday spent some time with Dan at Serangoon, then headed down to Sentosa to meet his friends. Finally got to tan, wheee! I kind of liked watching him play basketball... although Goood day, I got an education in music heh heh.

Wednesday I went shopping!!!!!!! And I found the yummy string cheese!!!

Nothing much happened at work, went down to the New Course to do registration for some aerospace tournament. OHMYGOD, one of the members put up his 1955 MG (something like this but in white) as hole in one prize! OMGOMGOMG!!! Some people too rich! Somemore for a par 3 hole! Wahhh!!!!!!

Don't think anyone got a hole in one though. Good thing about doing registration is that I get free stuff! Hoh, some lip balm thing, and a Stella Artois keychain that doubles up as a bottle opener! HAha... bad thing is that I think Kris totally forgot to pass them back to me after I left it with her to hold. So... :/

Met a CRAZY Australian golfer on Thursday. Claimed to have played only 9 holes when in fact he had played a full 18 rounds. I was at the counter with Kat when he came over and demanded to play another 9 holes. 'I'm a certified pro with the PGA! I'm in the Australian Golf team! I am so pissed off right now. I only, pardon my french, played f*cking 9 holes!' Then he stomps around a bit. Then came back and said 'I'm like really pissed right now, I am going to personally make life difficult for everyone here! I know it's not your fault but I JUST PLAYED 9 HOLES! I want to see the person in charge! The highest person! Don't care who, I just want Power! Blah blah blah'

Mr. Sh*wn M., you are REALLY DRUNK. Everyone saw you drink 2 large glasses of beer.
For a while it was really scary though, his eyes are crazed and he was gesturing wildly. I thought he was gonna throw a chair or something... which would have been quite exciting, really.

Anyhoo, spent Thursday out with Dan too. Saw Qihan at PS, bought a pair of shorts from Fox. Went to Pool Junction to play pool. I think I'm getting better! Dear seemed pretty bummed out all the time when he didn't play perfectly though... Haha... Kind of happy that day though, I don't know. Maybe just that things are going on fine again, pms under control and all.

Kind of a good day :)

Was so sick yesterday, skipped work, spent the morning at the clinic, got medicine, went home to sleep. Damn it, should have gone club with Mel and Hui! I feel v bad, like I always last min cancel. I'd have been pissed off by me! But ya... spent the afternoon sleeping.

So much so that I was late for dinner-birthday date with Cher, Wh, Ws and Larry! But all's good, we went to Phin's Steakhouse to eat. Haven't seen them for so long! Wh bleached his hair!!! Haha... Yantyng joined us too later, as well as Chuanhui and Zw. Wh was kind of pissed off, heh, about the cutlet vs chop incident. To be honest, he was kind of justified. Cutlet is something fried, but they served up something with gravy... So, kind of justified la, if you are craving something fried and don't get it. And we were all collectively pissed with how the calamari turned out to be like sotong rings. And! The portion is so little also... Hahaha... but overall v fun! Loved the present Yt got for Ws!

Saw Sam! Girl's looking good. Take care babe...

I realised that once I drag myself out of bed to go somewhere, I don't feel that sick anymore. Hee.

Later went to meet Dan at Serangoon; the rest of them went to meet freshies. I didn't really feel like meeting them anyway, and was thinking will meet them at Rav later. On the way on the train, there was this guy sitting opposite me, and I suspect he came from Harbourfront MRT after Sentosa. He was really tanned!!! Omg so envious, I wanna get tanned too. :/ Was kind of staring at him cause, you know la, envious of the tan. Think he caught me looking a couple of times... quite embarrassing.

Anyhoo, bought doughnut for dear, but kena complain that it's leftover :/ hmpf. We went to Compassvale to walk around. I got to see his bling! Heh. Quite cool, can spin the thing in the middle! Very addictive too. But cannot praise him too much, some people has a huge ego already :p. And ARGH! Compassvale is selling Secret Wish for only 58bucks for a 50 ml bottle! Oh man!!! But I already got a shock when I saw my bank account earlier in the day, so I have to resist until I get my pay. Dan's not helping though... 'It smells really nice! 45bucks for 60 ml leh!' (Some people cannot count :P) Walked around, saw some stuff I'd like to buy when I get my pay.

Ingenious plan haha.

Later he dragged me to Sengkang Community hub, just to check that place out. They were having some night cycling event. I like night cycling! Then I had to send him back to Serangoon :p Hung out for a while, called Cher to find out she isn't going Rav already, so I went back. Missed the last connecting train! :( And then when I got out at Outrum Park to take a cab, 2 people stole my cab! Very sad. Cab fare 15bucks... Arhhhhhhh. So poor already!

ETA - Happy 3 months. :) This was a very trying month for us, I guess, I'm glad we got through it.

Sand dunes and salty air

Damn quick updates -
I watched Initial D with Dan, first row on opening day. Bought tickets like 10 minutes before the show, so what can you expect right? Show's really good though, love the scenes of Jay driving who his head propped on his hands and this really bored look on his face. Anthony Wong's fabulous, as is Kenny B.
Went out with Dan again, Sat in Serangoon. Watched Monty Python and Mr. and Mrs. Smith (not really). Went Sentosa, met his friends. Tanned! :D A bit la, but I'm happy. Never show off new bikini though. Hah. I am good at sports! Dinner.

At work! HSBC
