ThaT FaTeFuL DaY

There was once... some 8 years ago.. when she was still in secondary 2.. there was this fateful day when she gei kiang represented the keller house and competed on the field. that day, she was not supposed to be playing. she wasn't even in the list. that day she never even brought her pe attire along. but somehow.. it seemed to be fated.. there was a player short and she was asked to go onto the field and play. and somehow, she went ard asking pple whether they have pe attire to spare. and somehow, she was all ready to go on the field to play ----- soccer. unsure of the strategy, she simply ran around the whole field, trying to be the stiker, the mid-fielder, and the defender at the same time. the field seemed so big at that mmt.. and she was like a tiny player on the big big field. the sun was scorching, she started to sweat. she knew she's tired, out of breath, and cannot tahan much longer. yet, she still wanted to be the star player. she did not know how long had she played on the field, neither did she know how much longer will the game last when she tripped and fell. she could not remember why she tripped or how she tripped. did someone or something tripped her? or did she tripped herself? she cannot remember. but one thing she remembered for sure, there was a loud "crack" sound when she fell. she heard it clearly, vividly. she knew some part in her was fractured. she could hear the bone. yes, she could hear it. she laid down there, waiting for pple to come. then, the referee came over, not helping her to get up at all, but only asked and instructed her to get up on her own. at hindsight, she wondered why tt referee who's a teacher, could be so cruel. not assisting her and instead demanded her to get up on her own. she was brought to a side. 3 frens surrounded her. one kept wiping her sweat. one kept buying her drinks. she looked at her left arm, right at the joint part, it was flat. a normal arm should be round.. but her's was flat. literally flat. she knew tt part of her arm was fractured. then came a teacher. a teacher who's supposed to be the in-charge of red cross. tt teacher bandaged her arm.. but it was in a real awkard way. even a dumb ass will not bandage the arm like tt. her fren informed her mother and her sister. and they waited together. waiting for the mum to come. finally the mum came, in a taxi. throughout the whole proces, she did not even shed a tear. maybe the pain was beyond the threshold and she couldn't feel it anymore. but when she saw her mum, somehow, tears came rolling. she also did not know why. in her haste to get into the taxi, her right hand let go of the left hand. and immediately, there was this un-describe-able pain in her left arm. it was as if her left arm had fallen off her body .................... to be continued

I HaTe ...

I hate it when pple do not consider how i feel

I hate it when pple put their will on me

I hate it when pple did not ask for my opinion and start doin things on their own and expect me to accept

I hate it when pple expect me to do stuff at the last minute

I hate it when pple treat me like a spare tyre

I hate it when pple demand this and that from me

I hate it when pple assume things

I hate it when pple do things tt they tot are gd for me, but which i think are not. And then when i do not appreciate, they blame me for being cruel

I hate it when pple threaten me

I hate it when pple flood my sms instead of calling me to talk

I hate it when pple get selfish and self-centred

I hate it when i quarrel

I hate it when i get angry

I hate it when i can feel my blood gushing, my wrinkles forming, and my pimples popping

HoTeLs, SwEnsEnS, And YoGa

3 main things for yesterday. 1st is the hotel. finally booked le. this ts hotel, highly recommended by many pple. 大顺大饭店 , tt's the chinese name. wahhh..."大饭店" ne.. should be not bad right?? my bro mentioned b4 and jas double cfmed tt it's a gd hotel. she stayed there when she was in taipei. recommended to her by another fren, shirley koh. never saw this hotel when i searched online.. but somehow, ah yan managed to find the website and got the contact number. then all thanks to ah ji, who again, helped me call to taipei to query abt the rooms and to bk the room. finally settled le. got a double room for NT1280 per night. that is about 61 sing dollars. comes with breakfast also. cheap and gd. and then jas was like telling me tt this hotel gives out free condoms everyday... erm.. so is she expecting me to use with yh???? thanks lorr jas.. (-_-") ... ok, so now only left the itinery. gotta plan where to go and where to play. must fully utilize the time there. quite sad la, ah yan could have come with us de... after much psychoing by xh, jas, and me, ah yan like quite interested to go with us le. after lesson we went to chk out the air tix... but the price of the return tic doubled le. from 79, now become 158. wahh... only 2 days lorr.... price hiked by 2 times. so fast. and so, ah yan cannot come le lorr. if we 3 go should be more fun since more pple, can eat more, talk crap more and take care of each other more. ah yan ar!!! u shld have been faster! ahh..

after 308 discussion, went to meet hubb. and again, we went swensens. but this time only ate the fries and the ice cream. no main course. hehehe.. juz wanted to snack abit since both of us abit hungry and dinner was already cooked at home. my favorite used to be coit tower. this tall-cup ice-cream with nuts and banana. i always eat that in swensens. but yesterday ordered the chocolate malt instead. felt like having chocolatey stuff. could have ordered sticky, chewy chocolate. but this ice-cream is really way tooooo sweet. i ate a few times b4 and i remembered there's one time when i had to add plain water into the ice-cream to make it less sweet and less "thick".. u know with the loads of chocolate fudge, the ice-cream becomes v "thick"... yup.. tt's y yesterday din order tt. the choco malt looks like sticky,chewy choc, but not so sweet. yah.. and the fries.. hmm.. all time favorite. yummy! somehow the tartar sauce is different and v nice. and i love those big, thick fries. unlike those frm mac... o .. then we were trying to take pics on our own.. and there's this v helpful waitress who offered to help us take. hmm.. but the thing is, we wanna take many pics ma.. and we did not need anybody's help. but nonetheless, we accepted her help and took one pic. after tt, she kept standing there and it was akward for us to take pic on our own.. wad if she offers her help again? so kuku... one advice, if u go to jp's swensens, pls avoid the seat tt is right in front, facing the counter and the entrance/exit. cuz the waiters and waitresses love to stand there if they had nothing to do. then u'll feel like a VIP, having so many pple standing ard u, waiting to serve u. but the thing is, i'm not used to being a VIP ma.. so akward lar.. it's like they are watching u and they can hear every little thing tt u said... though i know they r not so boliao to be so kpo..

U.S. Fries and Dip and Chocolate Malt

after swensens, had to rush off alrady. cuz meeting ah ji at 6.45pm to do ............YOGA!! hahaha.... hatha yoga, that's the full name. there are many kinds of yoga, and yah, the one tt sis and i are attending is hatha yoga. every tues, 1845-2015, 8 sessions, at the community centre juz across the street. $50 for passion card members. haa.. hmm... 1st lesson yesterday. nothing much lar, quite ok. but really not easy lei. some actions require u to stay in a certain position for quite a while. quite diff to tahan. and no sweat one lei.. maybe due to the aircon. if can sweat will be better. healthier. the instructress's an indian. from her accent, she shouldnt be a local. from india, i guess. her accent a bit diff to hear. throughout, the 2 most frequently occured phrases were "inhale" and "exhale". haha.. yup, 7 more sessions to go. looking forward.

pissed with hubb for 2 things tt he'd done.. or rather, for 2 things tt he did not do. shall not spread to the whole world by writing them here. arrgghhh ... u better not forget to do those things again horr.. soooo irresponsible!!! qi si ren le!! made me worry and could not conc on my yoga lesson. and for the 2nd thing, u couldn even be bothered whether im okay or not rite??? so happily went and sleep!!! idiotic !!!!! #*!^%$^&*#%^*;$%$!%^&

HoTeLs.......HeAdaChE..

sian.... spending the whole day on the net trying to search for an affordable, presentable and okay hotel. hmm... still the one tt i mentioned yesterday was the best. but it's not stated tt they have a private bathroom. at 1st i din realised.. taking private bathrooms for granted, not expecting them to specially state that the hotel comes with private bathrooms under the "facilities" option. it was when i realised other hotels explicitly stated that they have private bathrooms then i started suspecting whether this hotel tt im interested in have private bathrooms. was searching using the different search engines but none mentioned tt this hotel have private bathrooms.. except baidu. hahaa.. 私人浴室.. tt's wad they called it. hhaha.. but to play safe, sis offered to call to taiwan for me. and yes, they do have private bathroom attached to every room. so why din they state it out like all other hotels?? wasted my time.. and booking thru phone is cheaper than booking thru the internet. real cheap... NT880 for double rm and NT1200 for twins room. tt translates to about 57.14 per nite for the twins rm. wahh.. less than 30 per person per nite. so cheap! but then, bk thru phone like not so safe lei. bk thru internet can print out in black and white. but thru phone, no concrete evidence tt we bk the rm for these dates at this price. wad if the person on the other end of the phone is a kuku kia.. and any-o-how process our booking? better not risk it. book thru net better. slightly more ex.. 64 sg dollars per nite... but safer.. yah lorr...

Yeah!!

Yeah! Finally booked the tix to taipei already. it's not all talk and no actions afterall! after so much trouble... finally .. haha.. departing on the 4th, coming back on the 10th. so is 6 nights 7 days. we din plan to go so many days de. actually wanted 6 days 5 nights. but the flight charges differ alot lei. the return flight from tp to sg on the 10th is very cheap. 79 bucks only. but the depart flight frm sg to tp ranges from 169 to 209. the cheapest is to depart on the 4th. so tt's the choice lor. though we have to spend one more night in the hotel, but the extra hotel charge is still less than if we depart on other days. so is ok lor. anyway, one more night also gd la. not so rush. so now, the airfare, with tax is $360. haa.. now must bk hotel liao.. looking for a real cheap one. saw this quite ok de. quite cheap, abt 60 per night. shld be ok. but only 2 stars. diaoo... but the reviews on tt hotel are ok lei. the pics on the hotel also looked ok. if cannot find better deal, most prob will book tt hotel le. only me and yh.... hmm.... quite a sad grad trip eh. but also ok la. 2 pple, easy to plan stuff.. shld be fine ba. yep!!

o .. i think jetstar's really quite cool.. haa.. i tot can only make online payment with credit cards. actually, that's not the only mode of payment. can also pay thru singpost, automated machines and .... 7-11 !! can accept cash, cash cards, and netts. hhaa.. so fang bian ya. so gd, can jus go post office make payment. no need to trouble sis with her credit card. somemore online transactions like so unsafe. and i so blurr.. if something goes wrong will be darn jialek. so now, i can juz go to the singpost across the street to make payment. will go do tt tmr. hee..

poor hubb.. gotta leave u alone in sg. so sorry arh.. but only 1 week.. when u went army overseas training, i waited even longer lorr. anyway, u better not hanky-panky when im not ard ar.. got plenty of frens outside and THEY'LL BE WATCHING YOU! and.... rem not to do things tt i dislike ar. b4 i go, i will write a list of things to remind u.. hahahah.... ok, must save money now k. the next time i hope can go japan or australia. or bangkok. never been b4. hehehe...

WhY I HavE NoOoOo MoNeY ????

o man .. wad am i doing now? happily chewing on a hotdog bun ?? 1.06 am alrady lei.. but im hungry la.. dinner was at 5plus .. bak chor mee and orh jian (shared with hub, not i eat alone horr, somemore he ate much more than me!) now of cuz hungry la.. cant blame me rite.. anyway gotta write blog. by the time finish writing, more or less digested liao la.. lol ~

o well, juz now yl smsed me, telling me tt the tics to taiwan for all dates are sold out. man.. don know cfm or not.. havent check it out. but.. haii.. don know wad to say la.. all this dilly-dallying .. argghh .. cannot tahan the indecisiveness! ah yan.. i guess u r the smartest! saving yourself from all this trouble and arghh-ness. really don know wad to say le lar.. i guess most prob will end up to be all talk and no actions.................................. wad the...........

ok, just now went out with hubb. was considering whether to go jb or not. singapore really too sian le lar. perhaps can go jb and take a look and the stuff there shld be cheaper. fy told me tt go kranji take bus 170. then cross the sg custom, board 170 again, then cross msia custom and can alight. abt 5 mins walk and will reach the city sq shopping centre. sounds really easy. but .. hmm.. never try b4 lei. kindda scare.. afterall, i cant say jb is a v safe place. yah lorr.. somemore hub can only meet me ard 1pm, after his tuition. by the time we reached kranji and finally arrive in msia, maybe abt 3 plus? hmm.. better to go early and come back early la. afterall... it's jb tt we r talkin abt.. erm, no offence to m'sian.

and so we went vivo 1st. went to shop for phone (again!) and ... there's still no conclusion. cannot make it la, the gd ones are juz too ex la. either too ex or require u to sign the expensive plans. haii.. then the funny thing is, we went to BEST, and saw this samsung phone. 3G, 3mp and the design is cool. then we went to see the leftlet tt shows how much the various phone are selling at. and .. tt cool phone was selling at only $200+. somemore can pay in instalments. $20++ for 12mths. hubb was saying tt can st away buy tt phone, no need to sign the plans already. i was like so happy la. can pay in instalments, 3G, 3mp, cool design. but the sad thing happened. apparently we saw the wrong thing. tt price was not for tt phone but is for another phone. the 2 phones looked kidda same, but they are not THE SAME! the one tt i was so interested in must sign plan with singtel. arrgghh !!! y issit like tt?? made me happy for nothing. i should have known it! where got such gd bargain? such gd phone for only $200+. bu ke neng lorr.. haii..

then went to shop for camera. i mean, the purpose tt i wanna get a new phone is cuz i wanna a camera. if not, im perfectly fine with the v v old phone tt im holding to now (though quite paisay to use in public). but camera is ex too. saw this olymipus camera. waterproof, shock proof and anti-shake. hubb was so dead impressed la. he was like saying "not water resistant, is water proof leiii".. then the sales person was saying u can drop the camera on the floor and it still will work fine. can bring into water and take pic and video record and stuff... don know true or not. but my dear hubb is super impressed la. for cameras, i wont say tt this olymipus camera is ex la.. $499.. but... i still cannot afford!!! arghh.. why why why ? why am i sooo broke? why am i getting more and more of a miser? this one don bear to buy, tt one don bear to buy. so many things i wanna buy, but ultimately decided not to. ahh.. i hate it this way! i missed those days when i was working part time. easy job, no stress, no politics, no cpf, everyone is nice and $50 per day. $499... in ten days i will earn back.. not a prob at all. but now....... haii.. jin1 shi2 bu4 tong2 wang3 re4 le..... even wanna eat stuff tt are more ex, i also must think twice. no income is juz so jialek! even in future when go out to work, i guess i also cannot spend as freely as i used to le. too many obligations already. unlike last time, juz spend wad i earned. now must save for future le.... o man....

after vivo, went bugis. went to temple to pray 1st. then went shopped ard. hehe.. bought this shoe tt's only $9.90! ok.. fine.. hubb paid.. not i paid myself.. but i also paid for something tt he bought horr.. so it kind of nett out. but anyway, thanks hubb. i guess pple's taste really will change. i used to like flat based shoes tt will cover the whole feet. but now, i like shoes with a little heels. in the past, i definitely will not buy the shoes tt i bought today. yet today, i was shopping for this kind of shoes. came across this shop in bugis junction. think is the last pair, tt's y selling at such low price. look at tt heels... they are so slim and tall. diaoo.. yes, it's a bit too high.. but only 9.90 and looks okay. so, why not? shld be able to walk in them la horr.. hahaha.. ok.. i really am getting more and more cheapo.. bobian.. when u have no money, u have to be cheapo! stop laughing at me !!

quite a good buy, right??

alright.. it's 2.03am now.. gosh, think im really spending too much time on my blog. hahaha.. new user usually more enthu, i guess. ok, hopefully the hotdog bread has already digested though i doubt so. haha...

GrAd TriP... IssiT On ?? Or oFF ???

o well... grad trip's still not settled... in fact, it's getting NOWHERE!!! been discussing and discussing and discussing ... somehow, there's just no consensus. tt wed, it was more or less settled.. departing mid may, 6 days 5 nites.. to taipei only. and then fri nite, there's a change. xw wanna drop out cuz she decided to travel with her other frens who r travelling to other parts of taiwan as well, not only taipei. xw offered tt she can change her tix to go with us, provided we can travel to one other places other than taipei. not tt we cant, but we don know where else we can go besides taipei! we don know how to go, how long is the journey, how much, wad mode of transport and so on so forth. we considered kaoxiong, taoyuan, yilan, hualian... but still no conclusion. there r too many implications la. if tt other place is far frm taipei, it means tt we cannot go and come back to taipei on the same day. which also means tt we will have to book hotel in tt other place. and so, it means more cost! i mean, it's very difficult to plan with a tight budget lorr. to me, taipei alone is quite enuff la. why spend so much time and money travelling to and fro? juz spend all the time and money in taipei, no gd meh? i don know lorr.. then in the end, xw decided to go with her frenz. and yl said maybe she'll not be going too le. so now only me and yh. and then this morning, yl sms me again.. saying tt maybe we can juz take bullet train to taoyuan. only 8 bucks, can to and fro on the same day. then later, she sms me again, saying tt xw suggested leaving on the 6th with us, then after tt, she'll join her frens while we can come back to sg.. arrghh ... the more we delay, the more ex the tic will get lei .. why is it so hard?? haii... think is the different budget and agendas la. i can understand la. afterall, we are all spending money, of cuz want to get wad we want. o well, but it really is getting troublesome. and if in the end, only left yh and me... how? don know yh still wan or not. i don mind goin with yh alone...still can be fun since we 2 also kuku kia.. but i super no experience de lei ... very scare things tt im supposed to do, then i din do... esp at the airports.. this kind of thing, no joke one lorr.. 1st time travelling with frens lei .. why give me such diff tasks on my 1st trip with frens??? tian ahhhhhhhh....

NEC PhOnEs.. CaN mAkE It ??

been quite a while since i went out with hubb... like i say, too many things happened previously. ard cny period till now.. yesterday can be counted as the 1st day tt we "properly" went out after all the conflicts. ok, forget abt the unhappiness..

sch was supposed to end at 430pm, but after tt gotta discuss the darn cesim game, so hubb gotta wait. ard 5 plus then met him and we went jp for dinner. ate swensens. i realised the food choices at swensens are very limited. like nothing much lei.. in the end settled for the sambal fish thing while he settled for breaded chicken. ordered an ice-cream brownie too. throughout i was thinking if we shld change the brownie to the u.s. fries .. cuz the fries there is nice, with the tartar and sauce. and will be piping hot when served! but luckily did not. too full already... somemore our own course already have fries included. marginal utility for fries getting lower and lower. the brownie at swensens also not tt nice lei. kindda hard... think the one at gelare better...

YUMMY!

Wah.. y tt look??

after dinner, went plaza sing to watch movie. movie's @ 850pm, so still have some time to shop. went nokia shop to shop for phones. haii... the deals now like more ex lei. the gd phones all require u to sign the expensive plans. for some, after signing, still have to trade in 200bucks or something. so ex.......... my requirements also not tt high ma. below 200 bucks (best if below 100!), 3.0 megapixel, video recording, preferably 3G. tt's all ma.. why don have??? actually got lar... cannot rem wad model. $198, 3mp, if im not wrong. but the design.. erm.. cannot make it la. looks exactly like the v old phone tt my pa is using now (ops!). ya lo.. n73, still so ex. haii.. money is really impt la. if got money, u can get the gd ones. if no money, can only get the not-so-gd ones. lifee...... anyone got any opinions on NEC phones?? saw this NEC phone.. it's stated tt it's the world's slimmest phone. 1.3mp, video recording.. and guess how much? haha, zero dollars! somemore, only have to sign any of the one yr plans, not 2-yrs! but, like i say, where got such gd bargains? another samsung phone, only vga camera, requires u to sign 2 yr plan and somemore have to pay 38bucks. so how can the NEC phone, with 1.3mp and video recording and world's slimmest, be zero dollars? unless...... it's of much lower quality.... diaoo.... maybe tt's y only need to sign one yr, cuz they knoe the phone cannot tahan so long? hmm, but nonetheless, it's a gd deal lei. wad more do u expect out of a free phone? the design also ok lar, juz tt at the back there's something sticking out. other than tt, ok la.. think sat go again and ask for the display phone. see can make it or not. NEC.. think is better known for making computers.. handphones? not sure lei.. anyone with idea??

now abt the movie.. hahaha.. before we enter the theatre, we were wondering if we should spend $9 on a popcorn, a drink and a supposed free mr bean's passport holder. $9 for popcorn and drink?? v ex lorrr... juz when we decided to just get a drink, a lady came over and asked us if we wants the coupon tt she's holding to. it's a coupon tt entitles us to a free drink... and popcorn! hahaha.. this is the 2nd time already. there's one time, at shaw, similar thing happened. someone juz passed us a coupon which we can claim popcorn and drink. hahah.. so happily, we went to claim. but the popcorn was prepacked, not fresh from the popcorn box. so it was kind of "lao hong" (lost gas)... but then.. it's free... again, what do u expect out of free stuff? see, again, i wanna stresss .. MONEY IS IMPORTANT!!!!!

then into the theatre and the commercial took abt 20mins.. finally started. mr bean seemed to have aged quite a bit. hmm.. had a gd laugh. overall the movie was ok lar.. not as funny as those mr bean's series broadcasted on tv. went online and did a search on mr bean... i always tot he was a german, cuz he doesnt look like the typical angmoh. but he's an english man. and.. he's got a phd and one of the uni he went to was oxford uni. and .. it was stated at the site tt he's a millionaire, married, with 2 children. hahaha, ren bu ke mao xiang. and .. know wad? managed to find a pic when he was younger.. and.. he's quite gd looking when he was young!

mr bean??!

FoR a SpEciaL SoMeOnE

ok... it's time to post some photos of "u know who"... lol.. ok lar.. he knows who he is. hmm... for the past few weeks, many things happened. but now, it's ok already. hopefully frm now on, all can be peaceful and we will be happily together ever after! lol.. but horr.. my pics all old one lei.. wait till i take new ones then will post again. for now, juz post the old ones k. hahah..

hmm.. ive been a very lousy gf all the while. suspicious, bad tempered, fiery, and simply UNBEARABLE! luckily for me, i've found someone who is able to tolerate me. i don wish to be like tt, but somehow, when it comes to relationship, i jus cannot "kan kai dian". i'll get angry over every little thing. things tt are acceptable and normal in most pple's eyes, become unacceptable in my eyes. i also don know why im like tt. really don know why. i hope i could change, but i cannot. haii... myabe one day, i should meet up with a psychologist and find out wad is wrong with me. im making myself so miserable and of cuz, him as well. it's time to change, wu huiping! get a hold on yourself! stop being so suspicious and paranoid!!! pls!

is it just me? or all gals are like tt? cant be.. i have frens who are such nice, sweet, little gf. unlike me. im juz a freak! i don know how long he can tolerate me..for the past few weeks, i can feel im stretching him thin. he's gonna snap anytime! I better treat him nicer now b4 he really snaps. hehehehehe..

alright, and the "he" is obviously my bf. hahaha.. duh... i don wanna promise anything. but as far as i can, i will try to be as nice as possible. haii, ive been saying the same old thing over and over again. until i don even believe it myself. ok, i will try to change. I WILL, I WILL AND I WILL !!!!!

WAhh... WhY TiMe PaSsEs SooOo FasT ??!

Woo... today's wed alredy? My last entry was on sat. been 3 days already??! Why is time passing so fast?? Jus like today. Woke up at 10 plus and suddenly it was already 2pm. i did like nothing lorr, and 4 hours had passed? diao... scary.. why is time passing faster and faster? i remember when i was in pri sch, time passed v slowly. one month hols is like forever. then as i grow older, time started to pass faster and faster and faster. i even lost track of the chinese zodiac signs, not being able to rem which zodiac sign yr it was because it changes so fast. i guess it's a cycle thing. i believe time will start to slow again when i reach my fifties. haii.. human....

ok, last sunday went out to celebrate pa's bday. went to crystal jade at great world city. there r 2 outlets of crystal jade at great world. one is selling dim sum, porridge, wantan noodles and stuff. the other one is the xiao long bao and la mian and stuff. the outlet that sells dim sum is supposed to be on the lower level, while the xiao long bao is on the upper floor. so on tt day, wanting to eat dim sum, we queued at the lower floor, waited for a while and finally got a table. to our surprise, the menu was different and the pictures that were hung on the wall, displaying the food, was changed too! the management actually did a swapped - the one tt sells xiao long bao is now on the lower level, while the one tt sells dim sum was moved up. so duh lar.. in the end we decided to move up and the lady told us tt we will have to wait for another 20 mins or so. but luckily, it did not take tt long. waited for juz a while and we got a table. the food there is great. and bro-in-law paid for this meal. hahaha..

shared money with sis and bought a watch for pa. i don know if anyone of u heard of this brand - titoni. never rite?? neither me nor my sis heard of this brand b4 lor. while shopping for a new watch for pa, we brought his old watch along. the brand is titoni and i was like wondering "poor pa, wearing a watch with a kuku brand". then when we reached a watch retail shop, we saw watches of this brand being nicely displayed on the display window. We randomly pointed to a piece and asked how much was it. and the lady said something like 500 plus! i looked at other pieces and the prices ranges frm 700+ and above lor. diao... titoni?? why so ex?? then the lady explained tt the brand has been ard for many many years and later, bro in law said tt it's juz one grade below rolex! wooooo... never heard of this brand, yet so ex.. best! as for pa's very old titoni watch, my ma claimed tt she bought it for him when they wed and it was only abt 300+ back then. so tt was like 30+ years ago? so, can we consider the titoni piece tt pa has is an antique? maybe can sell and fetch 10 over thousands??? lol... big fat hope huh ?? anyway, we don have such a big budget to buy another titoni watch. in the end settled for a seiko. gee...

some pics taken on tt day ......

ok, tt's all. had a hard time uploading and organising these pics! argh!!!

NiKe!! NoT ThE bRaNd, BuT ThE DOG!

On my sis's demand, this post will all be on her dearest doggie, Nike. She loves this dog like mad! She often says "if lemme choose btw one million or Nike, I'll still choose Nike". Erm... ok.. i got nothing to say. She simply loves this dog. maybe loves it more than she loves me! Boo hoo!

I am never a pet person. since young, the idea of having a pet never crossed my mind. i know pa does not like to have furry pets at home and i guess his fren's encounter made it worse. my pa has this fren who had his lungs screened and discovered that his lungs were "covered" with furs of his pet. yah.. i remembered my house used to have fishes, tortises and a hamster. but all of them belong to either my bro or my pa. i guess, i am juz not an animal person. and i tot sis was like me, since we are under the influence of the same pa. and sis never really showed her love for animals when i was young. i mean, all the while, i never hear her mentioning wanting a pet or whatsoever. and.. she's a very hygenic and clean person.. having a dog?? hmmm.. so unlike her..

I'm cute, aren't I ??

but somehow, i don knw when it started or how it started, she LOVES dogs. and then, after she got married, she bought this schnauzer (rite spelling?) and yah, loves it like crazy. can french kiss with it, talk to it etc. she kept saying how nice her dog is - sitting quietly, accompanying her when she's doin her stuff, waiting for her to go to bed, lick her when she's sad and etc. she kept saying that Nike knows wad's happening ard him. he knows how my sis felt and will try to make her feel better... diao.. i guess tt's normal among dog lovers huh.. and then she started goin to doggie forums and websites and stuff.. and started moonlighting by boarding dogs at her house! anyone interested can lemme know. she's totally responsible and will definitely love ur dog. hahahaa..

as for me, i still cannot share her love for dogs. i know dogs are totally loyal and are human's best frens. but somehow, animals give off a weird smell which i dislike (no offence to animal lovers!). ok, i guess pple will change over time. who knows? maybe one day, i'll be crazy over animals as well. but rite now, i don think so. but then again, i must thank this Nike, for bringing so much joy and happiness into my sis's life. keep up the gd job, dude!

Learning how to swimmmmm???

How DuMb CaN a SuRveY GeT ????

Piang.. juz completed a really dumb survey tt needs me to comment on my fyp mates and myself. the questions asked r really quite dumb lorr.. "does the person verbal expressions changed when interacting with pple frm diff cultural backgrd??" i mean, am i supposed to know ??? true, we've been working on this project for abt a yr.. but we r not together every mmt, every day rite?? how am i supposed to know so many things ?? so duh lar.. somemore have to give a rating to each and everyone of them, and myself, of cuz. but some things just cannot be quantified one, rite?? aiyo.. why nbs made me do this survey?? surveys are dumb, but some are dumber than others!

anyway, fyp finally submitted le!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally finally finally!!!! it had been a long and tedious route.. one whole yr to complete one project! hahaha.. finally can wave gdbye! cant be more excited and happy. well, took pics with my grp mates and of cuz, with our v nice tutor. but in my grp mate's phone. will get him to send me asap.

BaD DaY

There's this nagging pain in my neck for the whole day. so irritating. actually it started since yesterday. think yesterday shopped too much with mum and sis. accompanied mum for medical checkup then went chinatown shop. bought this pair of 3/4 jeans. quite nice.. and mum paid.. lol.. it's so difficult for me to buy a nice pair of trousers. pple often ask me why they seldom see me in pants, but always in skirts. tt's cuz i don have many "gd-looking" pants at home! it's so diff to buy one tt totally fits. must fit ur waist, then ur legs, then the length. so many things to take into considerations! unlike skirts, juz have to fit the waist, the rest will fit automatically. isit juz me who thinks tt way? yah, anyway, tt was y i immediately bought the pair of jeans since it fitted nicely. then we bought so many things lar! it's not nice to shop with mum, cuz everything gotta be carried by me. and she simply loves to buy things lorr.. buy buy buy.. act like no need money. in the end all i carry! lucky this time sis was with us. hahaha.. bully sis and made her carry. lol..

was talking abt this nagging pain.. yah.. it's quite bad and just wont go away. applied the deep-heating cream a few times, but it still wont go away. usually this cream is quite effective, but this time round.. haii... perhaps tt was the thing that caused me to be so moody today. today is simply tiring lar. woke up and there's this laziness in me tt made me feel reluctant to do anything. but no choice, still have to do. lucky today's coming to an end. i wanna slp early tonite! cannot make it le.....

tmr's the deadline for fyp! finally! cant be happier! at last it can get off my back and leave me alone! yeah!!!!

FyP & GrAd Trip

Ok.. got back the 1st draft from my tutor. i really must say he is a fantastic tutor. there are quite a bit to change for the 1st draft but majority of the changes, he already wrote in red for us. so basically, we jus have to transfer wad he wrote on the paper onto our softcopy, print and hand in again! hahahaha... but some parts till need to do on our own lar.. like adding in some stuff and etc. but he really is gd enuff le lar. this fri meeting him to hand in the final copy. shall see if i can take a pic with him then can post here. lol ...

grad trip. quite problematic. started off with me, yh, qy, xh and jas. now tt xh and jas goin to france for exchange, we r 2 person short. and then, qy's jc frenz jio her to go with them and she sorta agree. now she dare not pang sei them liao. so, left me and yh. then xw at 1st goin with her fren, but now her fren cannot make it, so she wanna join us. hehehe.. one more person. but still, only 3 of us. quite sad lei.. grad trip lei.. only 3 person go ar? quite pathetic like tt.. and also we 3 also not confirm yet de. diao... worse for me lar, the hk xchange thingie don know when can cfm. actually i don mind goin on grad trip 1st, then go for exchange. but problem is, convocation clashes with the hk exchange. which means tt i will be in hk (if selected, of cuz) when convocation takes place. if i wanna come back for convocation, then gotta buy air tic to come back frm hk to sing, then frm sing back to hk again. wahhhh... where got so much money!! haii... don know lei.. grad trip is impt, exchange to hk is impt, convocation also impt. arghh..! anyway, the destination for grad trip should be taiwan! hahaha... but, i never plan overseas trip b4 lei.. and i suck at planning lorr. sincerely hope it wont end up being all talk and no actions. haha.. **pray**

WohOoOo

Yeah! finally not slacking anymore! more or less completed the 308 assigment 3, juz tt haven type out. hahahaha... think 308 is a madness module. gotta do presentations, assignments, report, quiz and final examz of cuz. juz crazy.. i know he meant well, trying to make us do more, practice more and score well.. but.. haii.. sometimes it's juz too much.. worse still, if i have no idea on how to start at all! lucky this assignment still doable. lol ..

yeah! fyp's finally coming to an end! tutor juz sent an email reminding us tt this fri is the submission date for fyp. hahahaha... byebye fyp! such a long journey. finally ending. am i crazy to say tt im a bit sad???? hahahhaah yes i am. sorry lor, cant wait for it to end lorr. feel sad ? wait long long ba! but looking back, it's really a long journey. spent so much time on it. don know how to describe the feeling. juz like a levels. i still remembered how i felt after a levels was over. tt time, a levels was something so majestic and far away. and when it ended, there was a mixture of happiness, sadness and relieve and many many other kind of feelings. abit unbelievable too. now is the same lorr. fyp.. something so abstract and far away when i was in year 1.. now completing.. hahahhaha.. ok, think im talking nonsense.. but i must say, fyp for me was relatively 'not-so-tough'. saw how my frens really struggled. must thank god tt my grp found a very gd tutor. he really really helped us alot. made our work very very much easier. without him, i think our grp, or maybe only me, will struggle like crazy. thanks eugene! ur the best!

ahh... my kuku ah ji.. told me to post pics of her doggie.. said she sent me an email with the pics.. but nothing was attached when i opened up the email.. think she forgot to attach. o well.. next entry then post her dearest doggie then.

ok, post the 3 kogepans i have at home. used to love kogepans. there is a story behind it. something like it is a bun tt is over-toasted/burnt and nobody wants it. then it took it's baggage and wanna leave. there really is a baggage attached to the softtoy de lei.. don know who told me... also don know true or not.. but if it's true, then this bun quite pathetic rite? nobody wants then gotta leave.. haa.. most pple don like this bun, cuz color so dull and no expression or wad.. i din used to like also. but somehow after tt i like it. when i was in sec sch it was quite popular. but now, think v hard to find le.. o, and talking abt this bun, i used to tot tt the name's pronounced as "cold-gi-pan", then the tutor i had during my sec sch insisted it should be pronounced as "cold-gay-pan". at tt time i refused to believe him. but now, with my basic jap knowledge acquired from ntu (haha! can show off!), it indeed should be pronounced as "cold-gay-pan". and .. for all those out there, juz in case u still don know, sakae is not pronounced as "sa-kay". instead, it should be "sa-ka-eh". hahahaha.. ok.. i shall not show off anymore. hahaah.. i only know abit lar.. don boooo me..

AnoThEr BoRinG DaY...

Another boring day at home... haii.. why am i such a slacker? really wasting my time away.. but, i just don feel like doing anything, except, of cuz.... SLACK! i know i will regret when it's near examz.. but rite now, I DON CARE!

ok.. went tuition.. give up on the kid. no pt flaring at him anyway. juz let him do wad he wants. i juz keep silent and see how long he wants to take b4 he can properly finish his work. flaring at him, scold him, shout at him do me no good at all. save my breath.. and keep myself calm and healthy. anyway, really no motivation to teach him. once a week, and then for 8 lessons, then i'll get my pay. in another words, every 2 mths then i get paid. and the pay is like... $140? pathetic huh.. really no motivation lorr... 2 mths! how long can tt be? then i can get paid.. wad the.. im gonna suggest to the father to pay me every 4 lessons. ie. every mth pay me $70. though calculation is the same, but physcologically, i mth $70 sounds better than 2 mths $140. 2 mths is juz tooooooooo long!

saw this email saying they r looking for telephone interviewers. for 8 days only. 5 hrs each. $6 per hour. i applied and stated im free for all the sessions. if selected can earn 8x5x6 = $240. quite a neat sum. i don mind working. wait for reply ba.

cooked the koka maggi mee juz now. pepper crab flavour. nah.. cannot make it.. think the original flavour better. the mee so dry.. haii... think is becoz the original flavour, they have a packet of sesame oil included, tt's y not so dry. for the pepper crab one, no oil, only the satchet of powder, tt's y so dry and not so nice. k... next time try another flavour. no more pepper crab!

so full now.. k... goin to play dai dee again. im juz a slacker. leave me alone!!!

SatuRdAy ....

A saturday at home. how sad can tt be? well... wanted to start going thru the stuff i took from the career fair tt time and jolly well apply for a job. i did search thru the stuff and sorted them out. and then on the computer, wanting to 1) register for the one to one carreer talk with the ntu stuff 2) register for resume writing and interview workshops 3) look thru the websites of potential employers 4) edit my resume 5) if possible, send out !! in the end... yah ok.. none of them got done. i cant open the link to which i can register for the one to one talk. then for the workshops, i cannot register online. think must do it at the donnoe-wad centre.. and .. ya.. i ended up surfing the net and playing dai-dee on computer.. how diao rite? then took a nap.. wake up.. watch tv.. eat.. and there goes my sat.. wanna come online update the blog.. then go bath and do some studying.. but.. mentioning of dai dee.. hahaha.. feels like playing again. yup, i'll do tt after i bath! lol .. o.. and too boliao, nothing to do.. took out the camera and took some cute pics..

ps: WAD THE HELL... why is it so diff to upload the pics.. and.. why doesnt this entry show up ????????????? &#$%R($&(%&*^^%%$

I AcTuaLLy sTarTeD A bloG ??

o gReaT .. 9th MaRch ... ThE dAy mY bLog waS LaUncHeD...

always felt that blogs are very boliaoz stuff.. online diary ?? since young, diary has always been known to me as something very private and confidential and tt i will kill anyone who knows the content of my diary. i feel that wad can be made known to others will not be something private and confidential anymore. so, how can an online blog, something which every one else can read, be a dairy ?? ridiculous!but... suprisingly, now im starting to write on something which i'd always tot is silly.. so who's sillier now? anyway, no intention to post anything really private. juz felt like writing down some feelings. and as time passes, i can remembered how i felt in the past.. lol ..

flunked the damn 308 quiz today. though it's only a quiz.. and only 10%... and is only a ge.. but still felt lousy after failing it. i mean, i din really study for it.. but.. juz before it, i did try to catch a few chapters. and while doing the quiz, i tot i can pass... but.. haii.. wad the.. regretted taking 308. i know it's juz a ge and there's really no big implication involved in failing it. But, it's afterall a banking and finance module! it really wouldnt reflect well on me as a banking and finance student if i cannot even handle fix income securities..argh.. i really shouldn have taken 308!!

and.. it din help when xiuhui told me she got selected for the gss thing. how come hk result's still not out yet??! out in mid-april? tt's still so long.. and by tt time, the air tix will be so much more ex than if i book now. and no need to plan for jobs and stuff meh? mid-april .. totally way out of schedule. FRUSTRATING!! i really really wanna go hk lar! 6 weeks in hk.. how shiok can tt be? i'll spend everyday and every night on the ever so happening streets in hk. pls pls pls approve my application!! or maybe, my result's just too lousy to get me anywhere.. haii.. get a job ba.. 4get about exchange programs.

jobs... another problematic area..wl juz told me jul and herself signed the bond to become teachers! hahah.. my sec sch fren.. becoming teachers.. hahahha.. o well, went to the website and briefly read abt it. the pay seems gd.. but, having biz bachelor allows me to teach primary sch only! cannot teach sec sch.. pri sch? omg lorr.. one tuition kid is enuff to make me puke blood.. one whole klass of them? cannot imagine.. haii.. somemore being teachers of this era, in this country is super stresss... i doubt i can make it. and gotta sign a 3 yr bond, i think.. after 3 yrs, it will be damn hard to get back into the corporate world.. wad's the use of my bnf bachelor degree then? but then again.. i shiver at the tot of having to apply my bnf knowledge in companies.. as.... basically... i have none!! 3 yrs in ntu.. 2 yrs in banking and finance.. and yet i don know wad am i doing.. shit.. the future suddenly seemed so bleak ... really cannot imagine how life will be after graduation. but.. it's not my fault tt i cant get a job rite? already sent out resumes liao lei.. but.. no news so far. is results really tt impt? wad the hell lorr. Ahh.. recalled this sickening email regarding MOH looking for job applicants. they are offering 5 positions and know wad? for the eligibility, for every one of the 5 positions, the very 1st critria is "a good honours". wahh... honours is not enough. It must be a GOOD honours. best lorr.. so those without honours can go sweep the floor le lorr. great. government sector.. no doubt.. anyway, see how ba.. if really cannot find one in the corporate world.. then maybe apply for teaching and let the kids kill me! pray for me.. lemme get a good-paying job SOON!!!
