Goodbye smooth hands! sad~

Too much grooming last sat till my hands turn dry. been really hardworking thou. Applying lotsa Moisturizer every night hoping my hands don't age that fast.

I met this very sweet girl last week when she came over to view a bunny. She is the first who drew me a card saying how thankful she were to be able to buy a bunny from me and that she will take really good care of it. I felt very touched! Like, she hand drew it! How sweet can children get. aw.. But not all kids. Some are brutally irritating. yes, it's that bad.

Not long ago, i came across a blog entry which really left a very deep impression. I have many failed relationships (Relationship with people. Not BGR.).

"in our struggle to figure out our lives here on earth, so many of us are quietly haunted by the people and the events that went wrong in our lifetimes. those people whom we had unresolved issues. those friendships lost. those loves that were incomplete. those problems never fixed. people who hurt us and the people whom we hurt. what could have been. what never should have been. what used to be, but is no longer. these feelings may never stop haunting us." quoted from paul.

This is very true.

I chose to put these behind and look forward. Hoping that 1 day when we cross paths, we wouldn't have much concern over past and that relationships can be rebuild. Although many times I wanted to contact you to put a closure (positive or negative)but I lack the courage. I am referring to more than 1 person, more than 1 relationship unsaved, more than 1 friend lost. Take care my friend. 1 day we will meet again. hopefully with open arms.

:)

last saturday was well spent, i guess. minus the salon time. Karen's business is F good in weekends. better than most salons. You get to learn alot of things when you are doing your hair and listening to their conversations.

We reached Karen's at 4pm and ended the whole thing at 9pm. Headed for dinner at yishun central where all shops are closing. So, we turned to Swensens. I had Caesars salad and Mag had salmon spaghetti. We both shared a macademia nut ice cream. sucks bigtime. haigen's taste better trillon times. Swensens's ice cream can be really disgusting. After dinner, all of us head off to Fred's house. Apparently, his friends had not been to his new house so all of them intended to go over last minute. Mag tagged along too! :) That's alot of people! luxurious house, right?

there isn't many happening things recently. Another thing about SaSa. She had gastric problem. Doc said she needs 2 meals a day but she always refrain herself from eating 2 meals. prolonged hunger=gastric issues. So, she kept puking and puking till we have to rush her to joyous vet again. the doc was damn sarcastic. when we entered the consultation room, she asked, " so what happened to sasa? ate chocolate again?". We were like totally taken aback by her sacarsm cos we did not expect that. in the middle of consultaion, she said, " wah she is just a puppy and you all only feed her once a day?! torturing ah!" . ( in mandarin) Like, WTF. we feed her twice but she just refuse to eat in the day. And, alot more that she said in such a way that you would think back and feel like bashing her. But well, what matters most is she can make SaSa feel better. It has been a few days now since the consultation and SaSa is all better now and has started to accept food in the day. :) And oh ya! She able to jump onto bed now and every morning she would greet me with kisses. :) how sweet right..

Bestie, you should go back and read our blog which we setted up in 2005. It's still there! haha.

Friday the 13th!

And, tomorrow is a Saturday! This Saturday is gonna be a special day cos it's gonna be a day spent at the salon with bestie + dinner and chill. It has been so long since we last did this together. Like, just both of us only. Rare situation ever since you and I have been attached. And now, you are tying the knot! So god damn fast! Perhaps you will have kids the next time we do this again. haha!

Talking about kids. I really dread kids cos sometimes they can be such a nuisance! They can hang around for HOURS pestering you, touching things, doing things that they weren't supposed to do. Like, HELLO to whoever your parents are, our shop is not a childcare centre. fuck off kids! don't make me hate kids ok. I want to have my own next time and I will definitely make sure my kids are not brought up this way. I know. Some people is gonna say, " hey you were kids once and you know, kids are like that... bla bla bla..". Hell no ok! I am not like that when I was young. I would cry and say no to my dad if he were to buy me something. I would not hang around in a shop without my parents and ask for markers to draw on the shop's whiteboard. Or or.. even carry the owner's dog withour permission. or even try to act boss. FUCK OFF you kid! first came a china kid who came to our shop every day without fail cos her mum's salon is just a few units away. Apparently, she's not very good with books and is hanging around with the wrong company and is under probation etc. problematic child. And, one fine day, drama happened. She came to our shop in tearSS. Like WTF, I wouldn't cry like a baby and go to someone's shop and complain or seek help. Then, she said her mum don't understand her cos she's having fever for a few days and her mum insist that she goes to school and told her she dont need a doctor bla bla bla. ( it was the H1N1 period mind you) shortly after she came in crying, her furious mother came in and they started screaming at the top of their voice in our shop!!!!!! WTF!!! from then on, I really hate kids. the girl then disappeared for 1 week or so. and she came after that saying that she had gotten the H1N1 virus. Oh i see... so your fever was the starting stage and during that stage, you came to our shop 3 days in a row and your FUCKING mum did not even have the courtesy and responsibilty to let us know you had it so that we would be aware that if we have any symptoms it might be the H1N1 from you!!! triple 'fuck you' to both you and your mum. to hell you natives. so sometimes, we cant blame singaporeans from disliking and opposing more cheena people coming over cos cheena people are rude, brainless, inconsiderate, noisy etc. you name it, they've got it!

yaya our ancestors are from china bla bla... ya, so what? we are now singaporean. different upbringing so stop saying things like we should respect people from cheena when they don;t even have the simplest respect for animals. How many times have you seen animal cruelty videos shot in China? countless. for fur, for meat, for money, they kill. to hell you guys go ok.

i am so furious now.

NOW YOU KNOW THE PRICE TO PAY

Last week, SaSa did something very foolish. Or, should I say ate something very foolish. She dug out a packet of fun-sized pack m&m and finished the whole packet while we left the car! I zipped my bag ok. She went to unzipped it. she even took out a packet of tissue paper to wipe her messy fur full of chocolate. smart.

I immediately called her vet but they were closed at 9pm but she recommended to go to joyous vet which closes at 10pm so we rushed there. she was classified as emergency and the vet took her in without having to queue. she flush her with concentrated salt water cos this will make her puke. But, everytime she wanted to puke, she will swallow back. disgusting. So, the vet mixed a more concentrated solution and this time round... she puke all the chocolate out until her discharge was clear. thereafter, she went for drip to replenish all the h20 lost.

The vet even mentioned that she would lose her appitite and mood to play tonight. However, once we reached home, she started begging for food and ate more than usual. play harder than usual. haha.

I hope she remembers she had a hard time on the vet's table trying to puke all her mischef out.

Felt so good! (POSTED 1 WEEK AGO)

You know it has been like forever since I last slept till 11am? needless to say 1230pm today! I feel so recovered from all those lack of sleep for the past 11months. It has been hectic especially for these 2 months due to some 6am alarm. I am really someone who will lose my temper without enough sleep. My perception of ‘enough sleep’ was at least 10 hours everyday but now, 8 hours would be a bonus. so bloody torturing. haha but well, at least I am my own boss. ;) pros and cons.

I want my necklace! shuai.. Sis and I bought 4 customised necklaces from a blogshop. And, they got my design wrong! So, I have to wait for the next spree etc etc. though the owner was very kind and helpful but I felt that she could have done more cos ultimately it’s partially her fault too. Oh well, just hope that the necklace arrive before 12/12 which is my cousin’s wedding.

SaSa has been dropping alot of teeth these few days and it’s pretty scary. like 2 dropped today. And, that’s perhaps why her appetite is not very good these few days. I Have to feed her petlac mixed with her dry food so that it’s not that tough for her to chew. petlac is formulated milk powder which smells like pastry. weird.

A long time back.. (POSTED 1 WEEK AGO)

We went to Seoul Garden last thursday for dinner buffet cos mummy has a birthday voucher from singtel which gives a forth person free dine-in when 3 pays. So, mum, sis, fred and me went. I has been like 600-1000years ago since I last ate Seoul Garden. It is still exactly the same with maybe more fried food added on the cooked food area? And, more condiments? And and, more ingredients for a better self-mix ice- kachang? the rest are booo. the meat is too salty and not amazing. the tom yam meat is not bad. All in all, I think I will go back again! after 600-1000 years that is.you will totally not miss (As in, ‘i miss you’ that miss) the food for the next 500 years at least.

it has been pouring these few days and making me sleepy in the day. the weird thing is that I seem more awake in the night. I think most people feel this way too. there are more enjoyable things to do at night maybe that is why you won’t feel like sleeping. you can watch tv, play games, fool SaSa etc. so many things to do! Talking about games.. I am currently hooked onto the mahjong game available via facebook. i think it’s called godgame or something. It is from Taiwan. Thou yes, it’s mahjong and yes, concept same as viwawa but the experience is much better there! Viwawa is kinda like… lifeless? i don’t know how to describe the difference but the new one is much fun. give it a try if you have the time. worth it!

Oh and my bestie is getting married this coming boxing day! so fast.. We were still thinking back the other day about how carefree we were and how fun it is to be single, available and open for courtship! lol. time flies and now she is getting married. I am really happy for you bestie cos I know you have found love. Steven will treat you well otherwise, alot of people will bash him up. haha! can’t wait for the big day!

tooth fairy (POSTED 1 WEEK AGO)

SaSa just dropped her very first milk tooth on 25th October 2009 (In case I forget)! I was feeding her some treats when I realised that one of her tooth on the lower jaw was shaking. I held her and took a closer look and saw some blood on the gum of the tooth which is falling. we attempted to pull it off but she was screeching whenever we try to grab her tiny tooth. So we gave up. I was looking at her when she decided to pick up a towel to play. The moment she took it up and swing, I realised something just flew out from her mouth and I immediately concluded that he tooth flew off. And true enough, we found her tooth on the floor! how cute! wonder how to preserve it.

Day boarding for this cute little 8 mths old duschund which looks smaller than SaSa which is 5 months old. They are now in the play area chasing each other and biting each other. How fun? so anyway, hope this helps SaSa from being so agressive next time when she meets other dogs.

Feel like travelling again. No time to spare. No money to spend. yawn! Off to play mahjong. Online.

Oh so you really did it! (POSTED 2 WEEKS AGO)

I heard that the groomer really did hit Junior on the head causing its death. Indeed, I saw an article regarding his confession. How idiotic can he get? He used his clipper to hit Junior’s head! He must be nuts. Perhaps yes, the dog is very agressive and very incooperative but no, you have no right to treat it this way or to use such methods to force it to cooperate! There are still many ways to pacify the dog.

For me, I would communicate with the dog and gently groom the dog. the tougher you get, more the agressive the dog becomes. If the dog is too agressive such that it starts to hurt me, I will most probably call the owner to pick up the dog and advise them to look for a more suitable groomer. No point taking the risk.

I also realised that the groomer of strawberry told the owner to come pick up his dog 1 hour later. 1 hour is a very very short time for the groomer to do full groomer. I supposed Junior should be doing full grooming otherwise the groomer wouldn’t have needed to pick up the clipper. so.. maybe that’s also why the groomer needs the dog to really cooperated cos he has only got 1 hour to finish his work. why give yourself such a time limit to do things so rush? sigh.. it costs Junior’s life.

———————-

I just had my lunch and before that was bathing for Milo. He’s like the most obedient dog ever! His granny also compliment him of being very intelligent! maybe it’s inborn. I heard that lhasa apso breed is recarnation of a monk. Is that why it’s always so calm and clever? Milo comes for a routine bath once every week on sundays. I guess I had better take a photo of him and post it up here before he move over to syndey next year for good.

Oh and yes! the boarding dog has left! so happy cos it’s making a din. EVERYDAY. EVERY MOMENT. AND WE ARE F PISSED WITH THE NOISE HE IS CAUSING. But overall, he’s 1 fine dog which listens as you speak.

————————

1) replenish my facial stuff by next week

2) dye my hair by dec

TC!

WHITE, FLUFFY LOVE (POSTED 2 WEEKS AGO)

I just simply love baby SaSa! She’s the most adorable, attention-seeking, feet-biting furball I have ever met!

Fred and me brought her to ECP on Tuesday hoping to meet other dogs so that she can learn how to mingle cos as of now, all she do is bark and growl at other dogs. It’s a bad sign (I read from somewhere) cos she will grow up to be very difficult to handle. She seem to have a thing about other dogs that she has to be so fierce. no idea why.. Can’t fork out the time to bring her to ECP on Sundays thou. There are usually more dogs on Sundays.

Back to Tuesday. Yes, we went to ECP and indeed we saw 1 golden approaching and yes too, she started growling. She barked so fiercely that the golden looks so confused and into defence mode. Sign. it takes time!

Brought her back for a trim down of her fur and have a hair cut cos her fringe is covering her eyes badly. I personally do not like maltese with short fringe cos they will look weird from the side though it will look very cute from the front. But, no choice, have to cut cos she can’t seem to see.

Glad. She still look so lovely after the cut! love her to the max!

Too bad she is not by our side now cos she has to be at home until monday. The dog placed here for boarding seems very unfriendly. resulted from not being able to mingle around with other dogs since young. I don’t want SaSa to be like this in the future! gosh.

I can’t imagine my puppy dying due to some accident. just 2 days ago, while travelling along lim chu kang road, we witnessed a dog being ran-over by a car. It wasn’t the driver’s fault. There were a about 6-8 cars on the road travelling at around 70-90km/hr when suddenly a black dog dashed out from the left running across 4 lanes. All the drivers braked to slow down and avoided the black dog and all of a sudden another brown dog ran out attempting to chase after the black dog. BANG! the brown dog down. eyes wide open, belly up with hind leg kicking in the air. I think it’s not gonna make it cos the impact was quite big. I saw the driver drove to the shoulder but am not sure what he did after that. Perhaps he called ava to check on the dog. No idea. It’s very sad and especially sad when you have a fur-kid of your own. I can only hope that the black dog is fine.

I read an article today about the grooming incident which led to the death of a 3 year old maltese. It’s again another heart-aching incident. No one except the groomer and perhaps the boss knows what exactly happened during the grooming session. Picking up grooming has taught me alot of stuffs that I have never knew. I can understand how tough it is to groom a dog cos some dogs tend to be more playful or more agressive than others. It takes time to groom a dog. Most owners just want a cheap and fast grooming service. Nothing good comes cheap and fast. This is a very simple and logical sentence. Things that are cheap and done fast usually have flaws. I am not saying that all fast groomers use harmful methods to make the dogs cooperate cos i have seem many good examples of being fast and efficient. What I am trying to say is that every dog’s character varies. On top of that, dogs are living things which has moods. A groomer can’t guarantee the duration of the grooming session cos most dogs needs to be coax. many considerations like, character of the dog, mood of the dog and dogs dislike to cut nails, bathe or even blow-drying. All these are why groomers need more time to comfort the dog.

Anyway, my condolences to the owner of Junior. I hope she finds peace.

Look how much I have neglected my blog! It's amazing how time flies! I have promised myself to upload my 21st birthday's photos but can't seem to find time to do it. Now, my 22nd birthday is approaching in less than 1 month! No wonder they say, " Time flies after 21 years old. In one blink you will be in your 3os." Holy.. I somehow believe in this now.

On the positive side, I have just stepped into my prime years where everything should be on the peak. I would not say that my life is on its peak as there are still much more room for improvement.

Compared to many of my friends, I chose a different path of life. My closer friends would definitely know that I have quitted NUS to help with my boy's company. More than a year has past and I must say I have learnt quite alot from this experience. Many would ask me whether I ever regretted quitting school for this and my answer would be,' There's no form of regret in this situation as you have to sacrifice something in order gain something. Yes, I have lost a chance of pursuing a degree in one of the top uni but I have also gained an experience which is hard to come-by." What have I to lose? In fact, I enjoyed all the time I spent working hard.

Choosing a different path has led me to realised that I have choosen a schedule unpairable with my friends and thus, I have gradully lost the fun and madness of being a 21 year old. I always thought, if only I have more time to spare then I can balance between work and play. Well, dream on is always the reply. ha

Many things have changed in 2009. One year ago, I am still celebrating my 21st birthday in Sentosa with some of my closest friends and within this 1 year, there have been many big changes.

I do hope that everything works out well for this 'new' start. :)

And, I hope you, my friend, is doing great in your life. Enjoying every minute.

I miss Vietnam!! I wanna go again!! A few months back Wilfred, me and 2 of his friends (both age 40 and above) went to Vietnam and we love it! ( The 2 aunties might not like it but both Wilfred and me definitely wish to be there again or perhaps to Hanoi since we've already visited HCM. But, I know we won't be able to travel for at least the next 8 months or so cos Wilfred will soon be starting work bla bla bla with the probation period bla bla bla so how to take leave? =(

Oh well! At least we had quite abit of fun for the past year! We have travelled to 3 different countries together within this one and a half years. 3 months to Melbourne, 1 week to Thailand, 1 week plus to Vietnam. Personally, I love the Vietnam trip most and I don't know why is that so. I can't imagaine myself being borned in Vietnam thou. Think about it, no convenience store in sight or anywhere near the hotel. Lets say, you happen to have your menses and you don't happen to have any more pads... OMFG where's the NEAREST STORE?! hahaha.. you can only get it at some store in their shopping mall. And, how many shopping malls are there in HCM? Not many, really. Nonetheless, HCM is a place worth going. Definitely, escpecially before it establish to become a place like Singapore where kids know nothing about playing marbles, hopscotch or even 5 stones anymore. It's the psp and DS lite which occupies most of many children's childhood memories. Pretty sad.

Talking about Vietnam.. I remember my most fearful thing before arriving there was their traffic. Friends kept telling me that the trafiic there is horrifying and it requires alot of courage to brave across a street. It is in fact, horrifying and very noisy! Basically, every household in HCM owns at least 4 motorcycles. You just have to multipy and put the numbers on the roads and you know what i'm talking about. LOL. Everytime Wilfred and me cross any road, our hands will be so tightly held and our palms will perspire split seconds before we cross even the shortest distance.

I think everyone whould go Vietnam at least once within this 5 years. =)

Festive season is right up and i'm pretty happy and excited as it's time to get together again! Christmas would be a gathering with friends. New Year and Chinese New Year would usually with family. This year's New Year Eve Countdown would be something different and new for both Wilfred an me cos I have got tixs to Mediecorp countdown party at Vivo! A part of me looking forward to it while another part of me dread to be in the CROWD.

I think i will blog again soon! Our bunnies have given birth! Anyone wanna but Netherland Dwarfs? LOL..

Tragic!

I almost forgot my login ID and password for my blogger account! How could I! Your brain will fail on you if you don't keep using it to perform activities, such as, logging in to numerous internet accounts. Especially so, when you have different identities ans password for all. But, I still managed to login though! Not that old, yet.

I have so much to blog about each day but I can't seem to find sufficient time for my daily activites. Needless to say, time for blogging. Blogging can sometimes take up several hours of your days due to consolidating photos and structuring entry so much so that, readers don't get lost reading halfway. And, lucky blog! I can't sleep and therefore, I am here to "bring you back to live" once again.

This entry will be a all words entries summarizing happenings from the past few months till the very recents and things that have been suppressing within me which I would very much appreciate you to stand my long story below. Photos will come later though. =)

Talking about "things that have been suppressing within me". Yes, this does sounds like something pretty negative and it is! I would urge girls who works with this company for events to take note.

Basically, I have worked several part-time events in August and September for A u s t r a l i a W i n e I n d e x (have to type it this way so that my blog entry won't appear if people were to google or yahoo it; you get what i mean) So, this company does investment in W i n e and I was hired to be part of their I n v e s t F a i r to be surveyor. The pay is attractive with pretty good commission and a great working environment. Things were pretty normal and we (same part-time position girls) realised that these w i n e brokers are hardcore smokers. Not only that, they are also hardcore beer fans! And, all these happened while working. They simply buy beers ( large quantity) and sit around and drink. They will just stop if they have customers to attend to. The best part is, it is the sales director who will usually initiate of drinking beer! Sounds cool, right? We get to drink red wine while we work too. What a great job! But, on the other side of it, what does this reflect on the company itself? To me, it doesn't seem to be a good idea to have half drunk employees serving prospects and drinking in public within your booth itself. Well, the sales director wouldn't care! Cos, he didn't fork out a single cent but instead was put in-charge for this company while the real bosses where from overseas. That's why. This fair was pretty smooth and we get paid.

Then, me and several part-timers took up similar job with this company for a roadshow. This is the turning point for this whole long naggy story. The sales director (SD) started to flirt around with Gloria and me. ( in his own way which we didn't realised it was flirting as we thought he was quite a gentleman) He's married with 2 very young kids ( Like 2 years old and the other was even younger) The wife and kids came on the first day but none of us could figure out who was the father of the children as it was too packed within and outside the booth.

On the second day, the SD got hold of my number and several times asked me out for a movie like this, " hey, we go catch a movie want?"
I was like, " I am not usually free."
He then replied, "How about now? I still pay you your pay but we go watch movie. How about that? 3pm?"
Me, thinking it was a joke, gave him a smile and walked off to continue with my duties.

Later in the evening, his wife came with the kids again and this time we were pretty sure they were his but there were still queries within us. Oh well, who cares! Night came and most of the brokers left, including the SD. As they all left togther with different people playing with the kids all the time, we still didn't come to a conclusion as to who's the dad. Then came knock-off time for all of us. While walking to the bus-stop with my sis (we worked together btw) my phone rang with an unknown number. It was the SD and

I was totally totally confused when he asked," How are you?"
Me : huh? I thought I just saw you like 1 hour ago?
SD Jerk : ya and that's why I am asking you how are you for the past 1 hour.
Me still confused but replied: not bad, same. Is there anything you want for calling?
Jerk: where are you?
Me, suspecting something: walking over to bus-stop.
Jerk: where exactly?
Me: somewhere near. why?
Jerk: don't take bus first. I send you home.
Me: huh? I thought you left?
Jerk: I am reaching. Come back to send you home.
Me: oh don't have to you know. go back. bus is very convenient for me.
Jerk: hey c'mon I came back for you leh. even mickey don't have the previllege ok.
(mickey is in-charge of marketing)
Me, fuck you then you can jolly well go fetch him since he's still around: oh ok then you send him home. he is still around.
jerk: c'mon I am reaching already.
Me: I am with my sister.
Jerk: it's ok. tell me your location.
Me: just go home.
(my sister feeling as pissed as me)
Jerk: please just tell me
IT JUST WENT ON AND ON FOR A GOOD 10 MINUTES

I don't want to have a nasty last day of work so I gradually agreed to it since i have my sis with me and i have planned with my sis to fake our address. we made him dropped us at another location not far from home which he really thought is our block. smartass me. ha..

ok. once we alight, messages came in from him trying to ask me out for some alone time since his carefully planned personal time with me failed with my sis around. He went on to demo his power as a SD saying, " I know you will be tired so tomorrow you sleep till noon. I will excuse you. so how bout we go for a drink now?" bla bla bla... rejected all the way.

At about 12 am my phone rang, didn't know was his number, so picked it up. Female voice. weird. She started to question me and she intro herself as his wife.
Me: he told me he's divorced with kids
poor wife,i pity her: *sobs. what else did he said?
me: didnt said much
poor wife,i pity her: *sobs
(kids in the background playing)
I told her everything that has happened and found out that his wasn't his bloody first time doing this kinda thing to hurt his wife. I even asked her why don't you leave him. Well, she did file for divorce but he begged her to return hoping to give her kids a complete home. poor thing.. and, she couldn't stop crying all the way. I assured her that nothing will happen as i am attached.

It's hillarious yet frustrating cos i am being treated as a third party. It's also very unreal like some drama series. LOL.

the next day, i can't bring myself to work for this kinda jerk and i warned Gloria too. Gloria, Jasmine, my sis and I couldn't work. Gloria and Jasmine were sent home at 4 pm. I requested to leave early and was granted cos Mickey knew.
Mickey: you alright?
Me: what do you think?
Mickey: it's ok la. i understand.
Me: smile
Mickey: so next fair?
Me: shakes head with a bitter smile
Mickey: cos of this?
Me: nods.

That's all folks! don't work for jerks! I know it all sounds very unprofessional but human do have feelings. I just can't stand this kinda asshole who packaged himself like a gentleman but it's all not him at all!

Ok im sleepy now! night.. yawn! IT'S SO LATE NOW!

Above the trees

down we went and there we ended.

It was a whole lot of fun and laughter along the way draining us away through the night.

however, I do think we need to practise harder to capture a perfect group star jump. :P

Or perhaps it was the 40 plates of sushi which made us go guga?

Eileen with the empty plates!Eileen, Me and Maggie

Start of the bridges!

Let me end off with the most successful jump of the night. LOL. hillarious isn't it?

Have you done a quiz which is so accurate in describing your personality and character? I did so, today. Read on to know alittle bit more about me.

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

Do this quiz today =)

they sang to us with love

not a classy place at all but, $16.50 for half a chicken.

not worth it at all, right girls?

I used to think that Esther and YanYan look alike but now.. Yan Yan look more like Freddy! =) I think it's b'cos Yan Yan hangs out more often with Freddy now. Like, the more frequent you look at a person or photo, the more you will grow to be like it. I don't know how true is this or whether there's any scientific proof to this but there're in fact many who still believe this.

Mothers-to-be will buy lotsa cuddly cute baby posters and paste it on every wall so that they can see portaits of adorables everywhere they go around the house in hopes of giving birth to a baby as cute as those on posters. I personally do not believe that this will work but you will still see me doing it (in the future if when I'm pregnant) cos there's no harm trying, anyway.

Life have become more hectic for me mentally. It's about time to start planning for next year! Or probably plan for my birthday first. It's nerve-wreeking to think of what should I do for my birthday. I have been to several and realised one common thing in all. That is, very very dispersed crowds of friends scattered around the whole compound eating, drinking and joking on their own. "BORING" can be seen right across everybody's face as the birthday boy/girl can't cope with everyone. And, I don't wish to see such scene on my birthday. HOW?! it's getting nearer.. and, I'm panicking within. Worst come to worst, I will fly out of Singapore! ;)

Talking about my birthday, there is another occasion to celebrate in September! Bestie's R.O.M. day! I'm happy for you and it's good to get together early and then have kids early too. Not too big an age gap, remember? communication efficiency. =)

Last of all,
if you've too much free time and do not know what to do, go watch "that's Amore" at MTV.com or "A shot at love with Tila Tequila" or "A shot at love with Tila Tequila 2" . It's interesting.

Great day tomorrow peeps!

2008-06-11T22:34:00.003+08:00

I do hope that everyone has been doing fine for this past 2 months since my last update here.

As usual, life is treating me well. =)

Been thinking about how should I celebrate my 21st...

1) Save the party monies and go for a trip! pamper pamper!

2) Pool party. Need a party management team to make it fun.

3) Yhatch party. hmm..

4) Chalet. BORING!

these 4 options are consistently confusing me! I feel like doing all 4! Haa..

ANY SUGGESTIONS, ANYONE??

Met up with Jeffry 2 weeks ago when he flew here for a short break before heading back to L.A. for school. It was great to see him as it has been 1-2 years since I last saw him! It's good to know that he has inherited his dad's business mind grabbing and looking for opportunity even when he's schooling. And, I'm really envy of you very gorgeous porche SUV! Don't forget your promise to let me ride on and ride it. ;) Last of all, come back soon bro and do well for your studies!

Jeff and I on SG FLyer

BTW, I am gaining weight!! =(

Haven't been moving alot recently. It's time to work it out!

Have a great day tommorrow!

Happy Lunar New Year!
Sis and Me

I love Chinese New Year! It's gatherings time! It's also a time and excuse to be indulged with food and also collecting money from relatives! (which is not very exciting anymore cos it goes down drastically like the recent stock market) Apart from all these, it's also time to glam up before visiting various relatives!

Mum and Dad

Hectic schedule I had just before the lunar new year season. (those who know about my current change of life will know what i have been busy with) I wouldn't say it's a bad choice cos I'm learning things which are not in the books each day. I have always been longing to be involved in an event and yeah FGPL took part in Health and Wellness 2008 (just before lunar new year = busy) Whole team worked from scratch. From planning to designing to implementing and managing. Tedious but so much fun!

It was an eye-opener for me as through this exhibition I have got to know several people. From the management team DMC Management to other exhibitors. It was also through this event that i learnt about crossdressers. They are very liberal people but they're straight. Cross dressing is a hobby and they do cross dressing once per month and party the night through! I have not tried partying with them yet cos i missed the recent one. I would love to join in the group of pretties for a night out!

Oh well, so much about exhibition. I realised that I can't seem to write much on a particular subject. This reminds me of being patient and patience reminds me of fishing. I WANNA GO FISHING!!!

Ah! Fishing reminds me of Poly khakis! We met up on Sat at Candi's for overnight mahjong and blackjack. FUN! We know whose luck will be the best in 2008 right Candi? =D

Will be updated with more photos soon!

Thailand 2007 end

Woo! These photos were long overdue! Well, Thailand is as usual. Crowded and dusty. But, I feel that they are very united people perhaps due to the presence of a king whom all thais respect alot. I never knew wearing yellow on a monday is a respect to the King - Long live the king. We don't wear white on mondays, do we? ha..

I was travelling with Wilfred this time round. It was great to meet up with daddy! Thanks for booking such a fabulous hotel! (Eastin Hotel- you should give it a try!) A 5 days 4 nights trip comprises of visiting several tourist attractions (kinda like forced to), shopping (yeah!), EAT (all the time), massage and we spent most of our time waiting. Traffic congestion in Thailand is a very big headache!

Now that a new year has started with all the routine activities in life, I am craving to travel once again. Where should I go next?

It's not about where you go but it's about who's your company on that trip. =) Many smiles!

Happy Birthday Melvin.H!

I got Vivo to display some 5minutes fireworks on this special mini celebration. Don't you feel honored, Mr Heng? =D haha..

It was Vivocity's 1st year anniversary celebration on Friday and that explains the whole firework thing and the crowd! So yea, Was out with melvin to kinda celebrate his birthday which will fall on the 4th of Dec. Happy happy birthday once again! (next up will be Miss K's which is on the 5th) We went Vivo and we ate at the "Hei se hui" - "bosses" ( i think) The black mysterious concept on that resturant is really cool. No photo-taking within the restaurant thou. They don't want people to steal their whole concept. But, seriously, one dont have to depend on photos to steal a concept. You will just have to patron it like 10 times and you can draw out a concept!

The food there is yummy but costly! Really costly.. Worth a try thou ;) Go try it go try it! It's at level 2, near sushi teh. Next was "fred claus" the movie. Not bad at all! Brought me all the festive feeling which is bad cos I still have 1 paper to mug for and this paper is really really tough!!! Good luck to me! =(

Bakerzin cake rocks~
Cookies and crean cheesecake + sweet pleasure (taste like fererro)

Me and genieheng at Pacific Company Coffee chilling and updating on life. Well, shall not go into details as to what we chatted about. Life is just a puzzle;the picture is fixed but the process of forming the picture can be misleading, tough, complicated etc etc. Let nature takes its course!

2007-11-28T23:15:00.001+08:00

Fatigue

Exams, time management, relationships etc etc. Recently, there are so many complex thing happening in my life. It's very tiring. Things will never go the right way especially during my exam period. For a couple of times, it's either I fell ill or some personal stuff will affect me. (Somehow it didn't affect my results. Hopefully, this time round too.

Orchard road is so pretty now with all the blue litted decorations stretching from trees to trees. J Time to bring a few friends and a camera along to orchard road!

It's time to move my thoughts away from what's bothering for the past 1 month. It's time to be distracted by some other stuff. :D

One more paper and I'll be free…!!!

Okay, I think I'll blog again soon. My sore throat is killing me and I think I'm running a fever with a little flu. L I guess the weather is the culprit!

By the way, any handphone to recommend? Thanks!

2007-11-24T16:10:00.000+08:00

Anna Sui's new scent!

FLIGHT OF FANCY

I love this scent! But, i know there will be thousands of people using this perfume (which is not special anymore) so i'm not gonna get it. It's really nice though. You should check it out at any SaSa outlet or any dealers which sells Anna Sui's scent. I'm still loving my current one ; Anna Sui Secret Wish :)

Study hard for those who have papers coming in a few days time!

I have this feeling i will have to retake some of my modules. : especially statistics! killer...
oh well, back to work! ;)

There will be photos updates next week!

2007-11-21T21:18:00.000+08:00

EXAM PERIOD IS NEARING!!

Some of us are having the most stressful time of the year now due to exams! Good luck to all no matter where you are! From Singapore to Melbourne to Sydney to Queensland to Brisbane and even to friends in L.A.

Been enjoying myself these few days before mugging hard for upcoming papers. Met up with old friends and even new ones. :)

It's not easy to decide on giving things up. It's really not. But, that's the best way for now.

Dinner with Melvin @ Sakae :

It's great catching up with you and knowing that you're doing great!

Dinner with Vance @ Fish&Co Glasshouse:

Been a long long while since we last met! Thanks for PSP and many more ;)

A day out with Alvin for phototaking:

Many places we went. From Old Changi Hospital to Changi Coast Club. Pretty pretty photos I took with his camera! will upload them soon. I played a "model" role for the day while he learn how to take potrait pictures. (scenery with a human being) LOL. well, I don't know how to describe. I want to own a SLR camera!

2007-11-07T01:30:00.000+08:00

"Embracing the City"

Don't you just love Singapore? We are small in size but full of life. We are clean and green. We have different races, different cultures, different religions living together harmoniously. And, when we thought we ran out of land to build on, we started to reclaim land. Then, we'll become larger and there will be an increase in volume of migrants into Singapore. Things will become more complicated with more and more cultures, religions and races trying to tolerate with one another's "nonsenses". Ha.. alright bullshit.

We just hope to see less gays and les forming. They are usually the good-looking ones right? :D

Anyway,

statistics test 2 is finally over and yea i'm gonna flunk it! ha.. bad news aside! Esther, YanYan and me went out after the test! Finally... time to put school work aside.

Esther and me went to IKEA for meatballs while waiting for Yan Yan to end her lessons. Don't drool...

And, we saw these AngMo kids playing. the little one is really cute!!! can't capture her face thou. She's really cute!

Thereafter, we went to the movie section which is seemingly catered to kids. Well, Tom and Jerry is really dumb. That's all I have to comment on that. But, dumb things make me smile.

The following photos are my fav. :)

We met Yan Yan at ParkMall for QQ noodles. Yummy! should go try ok?

In the bus

We headed to Marina Square for phototaking? Ha.. no, we went there cos i wanna check out young hearts. No pretty designs :(

"lean on a pretty pillar if you don't have a shoulder to lean on."

Yan Yan and Me (above)

Yan Yan and Esther

Me and Esther

Me. Peeing.

Yan Yan and me

This is..... erm...

They are really happy to be out with me. :) they just love me too much.

I took this but i wonder why it doesn't seem like they are looking at the cam which in fact, they did! weird...

Ah, finally my face.

We strolled over to Esplanade for dinner. The makansutra open-hawker-concept.

Sinful Meal

Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodle and Oyster egg omulette

BBQ stinray and fried Kangkong and Ice kachang.

Total: s$29.70 Feeling: satisfied

Romantic time at One fullerton

The Merlion! It's so white and clean! love it..

We did this effect on purpose.

We kinda disappeared.

Thirsty. Thanks Merlion.

I made a new friend that very day!

A caucasion came over to me at OneFullerton and asked for directions to Boat Quay. conversation below:

Mike: Do you know the way to Boat Quay?

Me: Oh, you have to get across and walk through there (points opposite)

Mike: Ah, so i have to cross the road.

Me: (Smile) yes.

Mike: (walked off a few steps and turned back) Thanks, I'm going for a drink. Can i invite you for a drink?

Me: Oh thanks but I'm with my friends [went to the toilet]

Mike: i see.. so what's your name?

Me: Jaymie. And you're?

Mike: I'm Mike. (shake hands) So are you Singaporean? [do i not look like one?]

Me: yes I'm. So where are you from? [cos obviously he don't look and sound local]

Mike: I'm from Australia but I'm a mixed.... bla bla bla [i kinda felt tired and drifted off while he continues to explain his 'origins']

Me: ah, i see i see. So, you been in Singapore for some time? [thought he's a tourist since he's asking for directions]

Mike: oh no, i owned a resturant over there (points to one of the restuarant at OneFullerton) I came over for 1 and a half years. [And you don't know how to go over to boat quay!?]

Me: Oh i see..

Mike: I'm the boss and also the chef. [oh wow, are you sure?? then why don't you drive to boat quay??] Maybe be you could come and try someday. just give me a call. ( fishes for namecard from his messy looking wallet) Oh i ran out of it [expected]

Me: oh sure, i'll bring my friend along someday. So, what cusine do you serve?

Mike: Come let me show you which restuarant. Oh, we serve Mediteranian cuisine.

Me: oh okay [we walked about 10 steps and he pointed to me]

Mike: so are you with your boyfriend? [your business?]

Me: oh no, i'm waiting for my friend.

Mike: oh so do you have a boyfriend?

Me: Yes i do have.

Mike: ah i see..

Me: ya... [lost of topic since im attached huh?]

Mike: (smiles at me with some kinda look which i don't know how to explain. no the perverted look thou.) Alright, do drop by someday ok?

Me: ya sure sure no prob.

Mike: right, can i have your number? [expected]

Me: oh, do you have a namecard?

Mike: I ran out of it (shows me his messy wallet)

Me: oh (gave him that 'dont wanna give you my number' look)

Mike: I give you mine then.

Me: oh okay sure. (type in number and save)

Mike: You dont wanna gv me your number it's alright.

Me: (smiles)

Mike: Alright, I have to go. Nice to meet you, Jaymie. (attempted to shake hand)

Me: Nice to meet you too Mike. (return the shake)

Go for a haircut today! :D

Have been a rather hectic day today resolving issues after issues. :/ But well, it's all done and alright now. It's 4am! wow.. can't seem to sleep yet and thought of blogging while listening to several songs which are listed as my favourites now. ( please send me some sentimental songs if you have any! :D)

Busy is the only word to describe my life for the past 2 weeks or so. ( thou not as busy as someone who lives in hall, who have to give tuition on free days and alot more activities :D "hello Vance!") But well, I am so glad most of the stuffs are over! And, exams are coming! which means.. vacation is nearing! woohoo!

Did you guys celebrate halloween?! Well, i did! Don't ask me where I went cos you will definitely go confused and laugh! (I went for the ppl and not for the place) saw many who took the effort to dress up! Some looked rather scary while others looked comical! haha.. saw a few sexy ones thou!

I went to chill at Jewel Box with my bestie and her bf (steven). Not bad not bad... I think I've got liquer fobia! i can't drink anything that taste like vodka, chivas etc. All thanks to the Alley Bar trip months back! Well, but i still drink red wine (my fav!) ;) i miss the really expensive one! the best red wine for me. i am more for the sweet kinda red wine.

Met up with my best cousin ever and NJ! Wow.. NJ definitely changed quite alot physically! Taller, more built-up and more matured indeed! been quite some time since we last meet up! really had fun! :D "wo yao mao de er duo..".

Green seats!

I can't hold it back anymore! I have something to say.

I hate youngsters who purposely occupy the green seats in buses! Especially, when they are several other red seats available! I have seen this guy practically occupying the whole of the 2 seaters green seat and pretended to sleep while elderly boarded the bus trying to look for seats! Don't you just dislike these people?! if there are no seats, stand! if you really have to occupy the green seat, then give it up when neccessary! "hello... there's a reason why it's green instead of red! "

Just don't let me see you occupying the green seats, alright? i bite.

Iam so in love with this song that I've inserted into my blog! Please do like it too! :)

CRAIG DAVID -Unbelievable

Always said I would know where to find love,

Always thought I'd be ready and strong enough,

But some times I just felt I could give up.

But you came and you changed my whole world now,

I'm somewhere I've never been before.

Now I see, what love means.

[Chorus]

It's so unbelievable,And I don't want to let it go,

Something so beautiful,Flowing down like a waterfall.

I feel like you've always been,Forever a part of me.

And it's so unbelievable to finally be in love,

Somewhere I'd never thought I'd be.

In my heart, in my head, it's so clear now,

Hold my hand you've got nothing to fear now,

I was lost and you've rescued me some how-.

I'm alive, I'm in love you complete me,

And I've never been here before.

Now I see, what love means.

[Chorus]

When I think of what I have, and this chance I nearly lost,

I cant help but break down, and cry.

Oh yeah, break down and cry.

[Chorus]

Now I see, what love means

Are you coming back everyday hoping to see new posts?

Are cursing me for not updating my blog?

Are you sick and tired of looking through previous posts and old photos of mine?

Well, I know it's irritaing to keep coming back hoping to see something fresh and then feel disappointed again and again when the owner didn't write any new stuff.

Blame NUS. Blame me for being too lazy to start projects and revision from the start thus, having a hectic schedule now. :/

Anyway, been into facebook recently and realised how un-interesting friendster is. Facebook has lotsa applications which allow you to interact with your friends and to know new friends too! Been rather active in Warbook and Human Pet. These 2 can keep me busy. Go try! :)

yeah you will see STB Project Postcards Campaign ad on the right from tomorrow! Check out STB Project Postcards Campaign from tommorow onwards and find out what is it all about! :)

I'm craving for nasi lemak now! man...

She just love my flying kisses. haha!

Our friendship

Stars gazing brought us together!

OBS camp was the event we were grateful to have attended!

Eng Soon, Kim Chuan, caneoing, tent pitching, joking around, shitting side by side in the cubicle, peeing by the beach, freezing on obstacles (cos someone scared of heights and Pei hua, Thomas and me can't stop laughing!) and lots of unforgettable memories!

I'm glad I found a friend like you. We might not share common interest but there's something between us in common.

May our friendship last forever!

2007-09-30T00:14:00.000+08:00

I love you. You love me. We are happy family. With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you. Won't you say you love me too?

Bangkok Trip 2007

It wasn't a very pleasant trip other than the fact that I have bought quite alot of stuff which i want. (not what I needed, get it?) Unpleasant, reason being firstly, our to flight was delayed for 7 hours! You cannot imagine how we spent our time in the DFS. (Stoning and entertaining ourself by counting strands of hair. ha.) Secondly, the flight was horrible. J**S*tar sucks ok. Thirdly, my mama fell sick on the second day of the trip and dad has to send her to the bumrungrad hospital cos she can't stop vomiting. Lastly, I had diahrrea on the last day followed by gastric pain. (just recovered like yesterday) Wonderful trip! (sacarstic tone)

But, this trip was the trip which I finally try to remember roads of Bangkok, name of prominent-must-go places (MBK, Jatuchak, Suan Lum Night Bazzar, Pat Pong etc etc). Previously, I were too reliant on my dad (for your info, my dad has been stationed in bangkok for 8years. yes, he do fly back to Singapore like every 1-2-3 months) cos he's very familiar with the roads and places in Bangkok. I'll just have to hop into his car, sleep through the horrible traffic congestion and tada! reached.

Bangkok is not a bad place. I often wonder about their gender issue. I felt that thailand has the most number of transverse (either way). Weird. Some are really pretty but once you discover the flaws. kiaokiao... you'll regret being too curious about confirming it's gender. ha.

Not all businessmen are honest in Thailand, especially so when their customers are foreigners. There was this incident where I asked about the price of a pair of slippers and that person told me 350bhat. It was 199baht like less tha 24hrs ago! So immediately I said, "how come yesterday 199 today 350?" And, he gave a guilty face and admitted he lied. My dad saw the whole thing and told him in thai that he's not being very honest. So, since he's not very honest, I see no point in letting him earn my 199baht. We decided to walk off and he suddenly say he will cut it down to 150baht. He then bent down to pick a lousy-ugly looking slippers and said, "this 150. that 199 still." Wow! I think you can almost hear my heart thumping so hard with anger! I just gave him a hard stare to warn him "you try play punk somemore..." He laughed and we just stepped away when a lady approached me. She is the ladyboss la.. She saw the whole picture and wish to compensate by offering 150 for a pair of slippers which I wanted. Nice lady but ran of my size. Too bad. ha.

Okay enough of words. Time to please your eyes with colors! (CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE)

In the cab towards changi ariport

At terminal 1

Look how we spent our time. I was busy counting lightbulbs ok.

We went up to the cactus garden

And look what I've found!!! I love me to you grey bears! and and and.. they have dark chocolate!

I were supposed to see clear blue afternoon sky and then.. it became sunset.

But still, we managed to arrive in Bangkok safely and checked into Pathumwan Princess (click on photo to enlarge)

I forgot when we ate these. Definitely one of those days.

And yea, we went Chinatown.

Japanese Buffet @ some Jap restaurant in a VIP room. Great food! Generous servings. Large variety to choose from!

Lastly, Pathumwan Princess's Club Lounge. Love the deco!

Enjoy your weekend people!

Happy 21st Birthday to Maggie Teh Mei Qi (My bestie) whose birthday fall on this coming Sat!

May everything be smooth-sailing for you. Regardless of work, love, friends or family. Love you!!

Missing : Madeleine Mcann

Have you guys heard of this sweet looking 4 year old girl who had been missing in Portugal since 3rd May 2007? A family of 5 were in Portugal for a vacation. They are from Rothley, Leicestershire. It has been 128 days since Maddie's disappearance and hopes of finding her has been deminishing day by day. My heartfelt blessings to Maddie and I hope that she'll be found(alive) someday.

Start of information from http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2005320001-2007411047,00.html :

THE mystery of Maddie’s disappearance began on May 3.

7PM: Kate(Maddie's mum) and Gerry McCann(Maddie's dad) put Maddie and twins Sean and Amelie, two, to bed at their holiday apartment. Madeleine told them it had been “the best day ever”. Gerry headed off for a game of tennis.

8.30PM: The McCanns join their friends at a tapas bar less than a minute’s walk from the apartment. Each adult in the party of nine then took turns to look in on the kids.

9.05PM: Gerry checked the children. He is believed to be the last person to have seen Maddie.

9.30PM: Friend of the family Jane Tanner spotted a man carrying a child close to the McCanns’ flat — but it never crossed her mind as suspicious.

10PM: Kate returned to the room but there was no sign of Maddie. Guests and staff helped search the resort after she ran screaming from the apartment.

10.30PM: Within half an hour police were called. But child abduction is so rare in Portugal, officers thought Maddie had simply wandered off. Hours passed before they took it seriously.

By 8am the following day, the hunt for Madeleine was a full-scale child abduction investigation.

May 12 was Maddie’s fourth birthday. On May 14 cops searched a villa and quizzed Briton Robert Murat before releasing him.

On August 7 a local paper reported traces of blood were found at the McCanns’ apartment.

Four days later Portuguese cops said Maddie may be dead.

On August 31 the McCanns said they would sue a paper which claimed police believed they killed Maddie.

Kate was quizzed for hours and declared a suspect on September 7. Gerry was also interviewed.

End of information from http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2005320001-2007411047,00.html

Is Maddie still alive? Was she kidnapped? Are her parents prime suspect of her disappearance? Where is she now? We do not know. But, like me, you certainly hope that she is still alive, right?

May they reunite soon.

God bless.

Yeah I'm cordially invited to the screening of ROGUE ASSASSIN! Thanks to FunkyGrad!

Synopsis: A full-throttle, martial arts thriller, Lionsgate's ROGUE ASSASSIN stars Jet Li (FEARLESS, UNLEASHED, THE ONE) and Jason Statham (CRANK, THE ITALIAN JOB) as two adversaries set on a violent collision course in the Asian mob underground. Produced by Steven Chasman, Jim Thompson and Christopher Petzel, ROGUE ASSASSIN is directed by Philip G. Atwell from a script by Lee Anthony Smith and Gregory J. Bradley.
After his partner is brutally murdered by the infamous assassin Rogue (Jet Li), FBI agent Jack Crawford (Jason Statham) vows to find the elusive killer and personally avenge his partner's death. But Rogue proves untraceable until three years later when he resurfaces to ignite a bloody turf war between Chinese mob leader Chang (John Lone) and Japanese Yakuza boss Shiro (Ryo Ishibashi). Eager to capture Rogue once and for all, Crawford leads his team of crime specialists headlong into the conflict. But Crawford's thirst for vengeance jeopardizes his professional judgment, and as the violence escalates, Crawford finally comes face to face with his enemy to discover that nothing about Rogue or his plan is quite what it seems.

Nan Hua Primary School 90th Anniversary Dinner
Lastnight was NHPS 90th Anniversary Dinner at Suntec Convention Ballroom. It was a meaningful dinner for me as graduates get together once again to catch up with life. I really miss primary school days when everyone were still so playful and lively. Now, we have all grown up.

I am very proud to come from NHPS as NHPS is in fact, a really good school. We were taught from young that we have to "ying shui shi yuan". Meaning, we have to be grateful and not to forget.(i guess) NHPS has really did well in conveying this message to all the students. Many students still roam into NHPS on special occasions like the mid-autumn festival. Being a chinese oriented school, mid-autumn festival is a big event for NHPS.

90 years down the road and we will never forget our one and only principal (who is no longer the principal of NHPS) MDM Fong. She's the one who keeps the students and graduates bonded to NHPS. She is in fact, a very capable old lady who every student of NHPS look up to.

The next dinner will be held 10 years later. Till then, we do not know how much we will change. But, we have made an agreement to meet again 10 years later with fellow teachers.

President S R Nathan was VVIP of the night

Graduates of 1999 (not all of us were present)

My bestest friend in NHPS! Many unforgettable moments which we still remember and it brings laughters

Sisters! Me, Val, Tabitha

Comex 2007!
I went to the Comex fair at Suntec Convention with Maggie and Steven today.Freaking packed. You don't even have to walk and the crowd will carry you along. haha.. The usual kinda verbal wars among booths and some with blasting techno sounds to showcase their sound systems. Others fight for hiring the prettiest face and sexiest costumes. Many brought cameras to capture god knows what? And, of course there are some who compete to collect the most brochures! (I heard brochures collection is the latest trend for IT fair) These so called "collectors" will scan their collection and post it on this forum. Ultimately, the one with the most brochures will be given the title of brochures king? Lame shit.

Exploring her new HTC Touch

It's NHPS (Nan Hua Primary School) annual dinner tonight! Have to make time for it! Totally forgot about it!

Have a sunny sunday! (:

I had Cities in Transition lecture today and the lecturer touched on the traffic(not too sure whether was it about traffic) in cities. With that, he showed us this video about the traffic in India which I find it amazing how the traffic flow without traffic lights. The drivers are such professionals! I'm sure I'll panic if I were to drive on such roads and I'll be stucked there till it's absolutely safe to pass through.

Amazing right? Amazing how nobody died? haha..

2007-08-29T00:42:00.000+08:00

Now we know who's that wolf in sheep's clothing!

I am very glad to see that HX has recovered and it made me felt very happy and relieved to have shared something with her. We agreed that some people just sucks. They cheated on gf, make some other girl preg and disown the child, lied to friends, never been truthful etc.

School tomorrow! Statistics is driving me crazy! haha.. I love Project Management thou. (:

Have a great day tomorrow people!

(I know this picture is abit small. click to enlarge!)

Acid Bar with brother Laurence and Raymond from Acid Bar.

Acid Bar is an ideal place to hang around with friends at night. They offer tasty finger foods and live band. You can sit around and chat under smoke-free condition! (I just dislike cigarette's smell!) You can even dedicate songs for yourself or your friend! If you have not been to Acid Bar yet, you should give it a try. :)

It's location : 180 Orchard Road, Peranakan Place Complex, Singapore 238846 (Beside Alley Bar)

Smoke-free in Pubs and Clubs!

Yeah! I guess many people will cheer to this new law enforced on nightspots! No more stinky hair and clothes! No more "shampoo your hair twice before the smell can go off"! Even though I don't club anymore, I'm still very glad over this new rule cos smoking is a bad bad thing. It brings harm to the smoker as well as the people around him who in turns inhale whatever he exhales! It's deadly both ways! So, quit smoking and also encourage your family or friends to do so too. Make the world a better place. haha..

Have a great smoke-free weekend people!

Oh btw! Please Vote for Laurence for the annual NUS Sports Pageant!

Thanks!

I need a mini portable voice recorder!

I need to record lectures! Especially for growth, cities, stats. argh!!

But, is it worth to get something like that for 100 over dollars?

I have 2 models in mind.

Sony ICDSX57DR9

Record up to 47 hours and 35 minutes in LP mode with 128MB of built-in flash memory. Compatible with Dragon NaturallySpeaking® Preferred Voice to Print software, the all-aluminum ICD-SX57DR9 lets you play back your recording and watch as your words appear on the screen. It's also perfect for business meetings or class lecturesjust record it all and take better notes later in the comfort of your home. An innovative Voice Operated Recording (VOR) mode saves valuable recording time by stopping during pauses in a lecture, and begins again without missing a syllable.

Olympus VN4100PC

Record over 144 hours of uninterrupted audio on the VN-4100PC then transfer files to your PC with speed and ease by way of the direct PC Link. With one simple cable connection, files can be transferred to a computer and be organized, listened to, and even emailed to friends and family. The compact design makes it functional and portable.

I need some comments as to which one should I get?

I personally prefer the Sony one. haha..

2007-08-22T18:43:00.000+08:00

Alright,I'm all well after 3 days of rest. I'm not sure whether I had gastric flu or food poisoning cos they seemed the same to me. I often get gastric flu in the past which will make me vomit and suffer from diarrhea too.

Back to some things that had happened last week. My granny had a fall a few weeks back and last thursday morning was her scheduled operation to insert something to support her cracked spine and also, to remove tiny pieces of bones that had fell off. Due to the operation, she was not supposed to consume any more food from 12am,thursday. What made me really angry was that we waited the whole day for the operation and yet it still wasn't my granny's turn. I was till evening that we were told that it's too late for an operation. WTH?! She have to starve herslf for so long and in the end, no operation. (I know I know. operations are unpredictable therefore, I shouldn't blame the hospital. But, I'm very sure they will be able to estimate the time in the afternoon instead of giving a confirm "no" in the evening)I think my granny was the forth in the queue that day. If the second patient went in in the noon, they should be able to confirm that my granny is not gonna take the op today. Then, she can eat!

Poor granny.. My granny suffers from Senile Dementia and has difficulties regconising all her grandchild. She don't even remember she has an op and she's so hungry that she kept asking for food. screwed. Furthermore, she was admitted on thursday again cos of the op which means we wasted one day of hospital fees just for waiting! In this case, can that day's fee be amortized? dream on...

So, we grumbled and argued and (whatever we did), the doctor placed her first in the queue on friday. Her operation was a success and is recovering well! But, her dementia is really getting worse. sigh.. Another operation to go for thou.

I have a strong bond with this granny of mine. She was the one who looked after me for the first 10 years of my life. We shared many moments which I will always remember but it's a pity she lost all these memories..

I went to the hospital on friday and left after she had been pushed into the op theatre. From there, I went to get my left knee fixed at the physician with the company of my aunt. And, we went back to the hospital again.

Friday night was out with brother Laurence. We went to eat "zhi cha" at this ulu hawker. (that's why I suspected myself of food poisoning)We ate sambal kangkong, hot spicy mussels (this might be the culprit!!) and pork ribs. Pretty delicious. We didn't specify whether we wanted spicy or not and he just did 2 spicy dishes. I kinda suspect the spiciness is to cover up the staleness of seafood.(I heard that's what most cooks do)!#%^%$#@ if that's what he did and thus what had happened to me! haha!

Been like 3 years since bro and me last caught up with each another. It was a not too bad catching up session at acid. Thereafter, we cabbed home. 2 hours later, I merlioned. haha..

So, do you think it's gastric flu or food poisoning? The doctor didn't determine thou. haha..

Would like to thank Pei Pei for selling me her stats book at 30bucks only! the cheapest deal you can find among the seniors! :) thanks!

And to Ms Valerie Zhou JX, yes you from NHPS, good luck for your last paper! study hard! :) and thanks for your tag.

And, to Rui, thanks for your care! (: update your blog!! pls.. haha..

And, to my dearest, I miss you..

Use this picture.

HAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAH! I LOVE THIS!

2007-08-19T11:29:00.000+08:00

I had food poisoning!

Friday night was the worst night I ever had. I vomitted more than 10times in the night but only managed to consult a doctor on sat morning.

Still feeling weak now. Shall blog again.

2007-08-15T21:16:00.000+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SHERLYN!
Has been a long long time since we last met up. Been feeling bad about being uncontactable before Jason went over to China and thus, missed the last gathering dinner. I miss PPWC ppl! (except chia. ahem..) haha.. Well, Chia is just so weird. I think he has something against me! I will not forget what he did!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KAIXUAN! (not sure whether you've changed your number so I'm wishing you here anyway)
You have changed quite abit! Like, grew thinner? We lost contact since don't know when, right? haha.. Didnt know you work in VIVO. I'm quite surprised to bump into you! Meet up sometime soon for coffee and tell me more about your pretty gf!

I had Fundamentals of Project Management lecture this morning and it's pretty interesting! (Better than Statistics!) The instructor is humourous. 2 hours lecture is too much for me. I can't seem to concentrate after 1 hour. It will be a long day for me tomorrow with lectures starting from 8am-4pm without breaks in between. yawn.. wish me luck for a full-packed day of lectures without any breaks! hooray!

2007-08-13T23:09:00.000+08:00

I am so tired!! My legs' muscles are aching. My left ankle and knee hurt. Useless left leg..

I have to wake up at 5plus this morning to get ready for school. I have to wake this early cos lecture is at 8am+we're meeting 730am at clementi to cab+we're afraid we lose our way. good reasons to wake up early? (NO!) school just... sucks ok.

Alright, there is only 1 lecture today which is Intro to Stats and we didn't print the slides. Furthermore, the instructor is unable to speak louder. Thus, we (me,vell, yy,esther,yl) sat there and chat for the whole 2 hours. (Woke up so early to chat in lecture theatre!) gosh..

It's always very interesting to hang put with vell and Miss K. Get to hear alot of things which I never know. Let's go watch ALONE! and more shopping. and more chit chatting! "buck up jason! I think she just need alittle more time and you just need to put in a little more effort. good luck!"

BTW, Miss K your shades nice! :) I think you'll regret if you bought the other one instead.
Vell should stop talking for 8hrs and let your throat rest! haha..

Why is it so packed everywhere today? It's a monday!

We (miss k, jason, vell and me) went to eat sakae tea time buffet. Another sucky restaurant.

I really don't like to blog about the daily activities unless there's something interesting to talk about. Otherwise, I wouldn't be interested to read about someone's daily activities like casual shopping etc. Right?

Ok I'm right. haha..

There are many things that are not as perfect as it seems.
There are many people who are not as strong as they show.

Many tend to hide their true feelings and self.

Thoughts are often shared but thoughts can be secrets too.
Everyone has secrets which they chose to hide from others.

Who doesn't?

A silent raining night. I shared a secret with you.

I'm not the strong girl whom you think I am.
I am just like a toy which needs a kid's attention.

I need a break. I am getting ridiculously out of cure.

BTW, happy birthday to a friend who often comes to my mind. A friendship which i regret losing. May you enjoy your day with max joy!
p.s. I'm J

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!

School will start next week. I just hope I have longer vacation!

My modules in NUS are :

1) Introduction to Statistics
2) Intorduction to Project Management
3) Cities in Transition
4) Growth and Development in SE Asia
5) Gender and Society

I am so very glad that my bid actually succeeded for the electives. However, those electives are not what I really wanted. There isn't much choice for me cos I don't have much points to bid for electives and they can't offer me year 2's modules cos of high quota (priority goes to year 2s first). It's pretty complicated to explain the bidding system here. You are so lucky if your modules are pre-allocated to you!

I will only have 3 school days if tutorial balloting goes as I planned. HURRAY! more free time!

I wonder how's Mark doing in camp! haha! KZ sms me and said it was fun. cool.. It's the first time I hear people comment NS field camp as 'fun'. haha! Can't wait to meet them and to see a change in them! And, of course, listen to stories they have to share.

check out this cat! It resemble this particular character in Pokemon!

Look alike?? haha..

I'm just too bored. I miss Wilfred! 15 more weeks to go..

2007-08-08T18:22:00.000+08:00

Okay here are the Botak Jones dinner outing's photos!

I personally don't like the food at Botak Jones. I've tried it twice and it was disappointing at both times. I guess there won't be a third time for me to patronize Jones again.

Yesterday was NUS flag day! I was pretty glad I skipped it cos I heard that it suck. Students are supposed to make sure that the tin is at LEAST 3/4 full before you can return the tin back to NUS. LIKE WTH! Helping out on flag day is a complete voluntary action and they should be glad that there are students who are willing to fork out time and effort to sell flag! @$%^@#$%

So, I mentioned I skipped selling flag for shopping with 2 new found friends, Esther and Yan Yan! Basically, 3 of us skipped flag day together. :D We spent most of the time chilling at cafes.

Hope that NUS life will be smooth-sailing for us!

2007-08-03T22:35:00.000+08:00

I guess if I don't blog soon, my readership will fall. :D

Been rather busy over matriculation exercise for studies in NUS. It has been a really bad habit to sleep late and wake up late. I have been sleeping no earlier than 2 and waking not before 12 everyday for the past few MONTHS! Matriculation started and I have to wake up so early just to rush to school for it! Guess I still need time to get used to it.

(I have this really weird illness(if you call it). I can't set an alarm before I sleep cos I will end up waiting the whole night for the alarm to ring!) Can anyone tell me how can I overcome this? It's bothering me.

Okay, back to NUS. 0 week in NUS kinda suck. Alot of time was wasted in waiting and waiting for.. nothing! Therefore, I simply just skipped today's activities.

I am quite looking forward to Uni life in NUS, the modules that I am gonna take and CCA! (Vell, Mordern Jazz or Hip-Hop?)

I miss Melbourne! I miss friends in Melbourne! Planning to go over again in December for Christmas!

I was surfing the net when I came across some of DawnYang's before cosmetics surgerIES photos. Gosh! It's pretty amazing how this kind of surgery create wonders! I have to admit that Dawn really look great in photos now but her face look rather 'fake' in real person. It leads me to wonder what will happen to her when she grow old say, 20-30 years later? Will her surgeries flaws start to show? I can't imagine.

I realised I have been blogging about cosmetics surgery. Haha..

Good news! I passed the Qualifying English Test with 5 as my grade! Not the best but I have never expected a pass as I have heard 'horrifying' stories of the test. Furthermore, the test was indeed pretty tough. I was told that only a small percentage would pass the test each year. I don't know how true it is but I know quite a number of my friends passed it too. It makes a pretty big difference if you passed the test as one will not have to take the English course. With this, you can clear other modules.

My life have become pretty boring with most of my time spent at home. Best friends are unable to meet up recently. SAD! So, if anyone need a shopping partner, movie companion, food/supper hunting crew etc etc, just call me! I'm most willing to fork out free time to go out!

Okay, I miss fishing once again. Should I just go learn fishing?

Oh, Botak Jones dinner outing's photos not up yet cos I have no time! Come back again and you might see it! (:

Take care people! Have a great weekend!

2007-07-31T13:52:00.000+08:00

Happy 18 months and 1 day ! And, many more days to come!

2007-07-27T10:35:00.000+08:00

I Love Him!

Fishing!

ME!! (:

2007-07-26T02:48:00.000+08:00

My granny had a bad fall and is currently hospitalized now. I'm worried and exhausted. First, my best friend. Now, my granny. I hope they get well soon. More visits to SGH tml!

*Be safe people. Cherish life.

2007-07-26T02:36:00.000+08:00

Shopping with my Sister a few days back!

Next post will be photos of tonight's dinner at Depot's Botak Jones with Raphael and QiXian! Keep a look out! (:

2007-07-25T11:41:00.000+08:00

I hard a tough night lastnight. Something happened and I couldn't sleep.

To someone I care and worry for these 3 years:
Life is precious and thus, we should cherish it.
Alot of people yearn to live but are not given a chance to and you're giving your life up so easily, twice.
Please don't ever do it again.
Alot of us are trying hard to help you through but you have to help yourself too.
We can't bring you out of the world you're living in now if you're not trying hard to step out of it.
Calling me before you do and say your last words for me will not make me live life happily.
Many things can be solved, it's a matter of time.
Please don't hurt us again by hurting yourself.
Your family, Brian, James, me and many more people love you alot and really hope to find the real you back again.
Girl, get well soon.

It's quite obvious what had happened lastnight that caused me to lose sleep. Yes, my best friend tried to commit sucide but luckily she was discovered in action by some friends. She's fine but still under observation in hospital now.

I signed up for nuffnang lastnight. Been seeing their ads in most blogs now! This project is so well done!

I'm going out now to visit her. Dinner with neighbours! More photo-taking!!

2007-07-24T12:31:00.000+08:00

Booho! Wilfred has left Singapore for Melbourne again. I hate the seperated feeling especially the moment we have to kiss goodbye before he step into the DFS section.

Well, we went fishing with his friends at Marina South a few days before he left for Melbourne. It was fun but not rewarding cos we used 3 rods and caught only 2 fishes. (I caught 1 and his friend caught another 1) The best record was with Mark and Candi! we caught 8 fishes with a rod! This time, both fishes are big Sea Bass. Delicious! (No photos yet but will upload soon if I have a photo-editing program!)

Hard work paid off! Wilfred's Coca-Cola collection webpage is up! We have been very busy with the webpage and it's finally done. Everything is personally designed. (From logo to background) Tough job indeed. Find it weird that there are actually people collecting Coca-Cola bottles? Curious of it? Well, just click HERE to check out our hardwork and find out what's so fascinating about Coca-Cola bottles and you'll be overwhelmed! :D Don't forget to leave some comments!

2007-07-09T22:42:00.000+08:00

7 July 2007

Congratulations to the 777 couples getting married on this very special day! (The government saw it coming so they restricted the number of marriages on this day to 777)

Wilfred's sister's wedding fall on this day too! Quite a grand wedding I should say. It's held at the Grand Copthorne's grand ballroom. She's a lucky girl. (Shan't elaborate) Best wishes to them!

Their wedding costumes are custom made! This is the one I love most! bareback tube. dark blue. pretty pretty.

Wilfred in his day suit.

Waiting to leave for dinner

Daytime

Nighttime

Marriage is so beautiful but wedding dinner sucks. What's the purpose of having a wedding dinner? boasting above how wealthy the family is? collect more ang bao? show pretty wedding dresses? I see no purpose at all. I would choose to go overseas and marry romantically. (venice,switzerland,frane,european countries) save the hassle of planning early and everything.

Went for body checkup today for NUS admission. waited so long for my turn to see the doc. I have to mention one thing. I felt uncomfy today during x-ray cos the one doing the x-ray is a guy! Furthermore, there are 2 other uncles in the room! I have to remove my bra dudes! Ass... so many guys in the room! shouldn't they get female docs for females?

Wilfred will be returning to Australia soon. Can't bear to be apart for the next 6 months. There's nothing we can do. We both have our commitments (studies) to fufil. (that's why I say studies is always hindering me!) No choice but to bear with it. I'll get myself busy with school activities.

Rag day is coming! It's some kind of Chingay with NUS hold every year. It's a internal competition among schools in NUS and I will be part of it! (though i missed the 1st practise today) haha.. I will go after Wilfred leave. No time for that now.

And oh ya, anyone have photoshop setup disc? can borrow? I need a photo-editing program badly!!

2007-07-03T00:26:00.000+08:00

Many many activities these few days especially after Wilfred arrive in Singapore for his winter break. These includes meeting up with polymates for supper at jln kayu (I think so. It’s that place where it’s famous for roti prata in the night I guess.), food tasting for his sis’s wedding at the Grand Copthorne, shopping before the GST increment, visit HX’s push cart at United Square, visit Uncle Jon at China Square for his bottle etc etc.

I didn’t try any food during the supper outing thou but managed to do some catching up with KL, KZ, Terry and Mark. Time flies. I still remember how we all started out in poly. Terry was known as 98/100 (or 99/100) cos he got 98 or 99 for the Law paper! Mark and Keng Zee are known to be quiet. To me, Khailing looks like an “ah lian” and always skipping lectures. In fact, she’s super caring and great to get along with. We should never judge a book by its cover! There are many more people who I crossed paths with in polytechnic. I am very happy to have shared many moments of happiness with them (every single one) although there are many misunderstandings along the years which have caused a drift in our friendship. I really do hate people who try to break friendships! (That’s also no wonder why that particular person always fail in relationships)I guess many of us will drift apart in time to come when NS start for guys and work/school starts for girls. All of us will spend so much time in making money / pursuing more certificates that we will ultimately lose the most precious thing in life. That is friends. Do friends really come and go, buddy Edwin? Well, I guess so. Many of mine came and went off. To them, I did the same thing (came into their life and went off). I told myself I have to put in more effort in maintaining friendships now.

Alright back to activities. Food tasting was quite grand. (You can call me a “mountain tortoise” cos I have never eaten in a decorated private room so big and posh which faces the Singapore River and served by 2 personal waitresses). I love the scallops, herbs prawns and some more (which I forgot). Nothing much about food tasting. (Not really interested cos it’s not my wedding. Hahas)

Oh and my best friend HX is selling clothes! How cool is that! I used to sell clothes. Set up and online boutique but shut it down in less than a month cos I cannot be committed to it. (too much school work then) Now that my friend is doing it (which means she’s interested), we can partnership! Hurray! But not so soon. NUS starting soon!! Damn. School is always hindering me!
Summon! First time I get summon! I got it for changing lanes on double white line. This lesson cost me 4 demerit points and $130 fine! I can go shopping with that money! “ KT, don’t be discouraged! Please be more careful next time, now you know that there’s a double white line THERE. These are nothing but just lessons. It’s good to learnt something especially when you’re under probation…” I won’t be discouraged people! *Thanks BB for your encouragement! Loves.

Good news! I master parking within a few tries! Vertical parking I meant. Parallel… hahas.

Many things I miss. I miss fishing, prawning, swimming etc etc.

I skipped NUS camp! Bad bad girl I am.

Been spending alot these days. I just bought a laptop. BenQ Joybook S32. pretty in white! I love white! Wilfred bought HTC PDA phone and alot of stuffs. gosh a few k we spent. But, retail therapy feels good. :)

2007-06-25T01:27:00.000+08:00

Ngee Ann Polytechnic Graduation Dinner 2007 was held at the ParkRoyal Hotel. (not sure about the rating/class of this hotel-google it!) Alright, it's not a six stars hotel thou. It's just 3 stars but it's really not bad at all! I guess it lose out on it's facilities/amenities that's all.
It's review :

http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g294265-d306192-Reviews-Parkroyal_on_Beach_Road-Singapore.html

Dinner and Dance was a success i supposed cos all of us enjoyed! The MC was hilarious, entertaining and quick-witted! He really did a great job! I shan't go into details of the events since readers can't feel the fun anyway. :D I think after working so hard in poly life, we all deserve this night which only belong to us. Juniors should work hard to be top 10% of garaduating batch in order to "qualify" for this DnD. (Pardon my english. I know it sucks)

I have some photos and alot more will be uploaded laters.

Me and Terry! Thanks for all the help along the way!

Me and Fabian. He's my kindergarden partner, sec sch mate, poly mate!

Me and Rui! RAWRR! Mr niceguy!

Vell, Me and QingPing!

Oh ya, Sentosa on Friday!

Me and Huixian

Alright that's all!

2007-06-21T01:23:00.000+08:00

Okay I've finally uploaded photos of graduation day.

Pretty ones! ;)

2007-06-20T00:35:00.001+08:00

There's a gunman at loose in Australia!

He shot 3 people at Flinders Street (which is in the city where it's pretty packed) causing 1 dead, 1 in critical condition (in intensive care) and 1 in critical but stable condition. Gosh.. never expected this to happen in Australia. I always thought Australia is a rather safe place to be in.

I have been to flinders street and the subway is located there. imagine the crowd in the morning when he fire!

I think that gunman might still be in melbourne cos he abandoned 2 of his cars in Victoria. (which is where wilfred lives!) but well, Victoria is so so big. who knows where is he now? He's a wanted man now. he was also probably responsible for firing shots at a truck factory in the city's north a week ago too! He was also involved in the "Ballroom Blitz'' bikie gang shootout on the Gold Coast last March!

friends in Australia and still do not know how that guy look like, this photo is for you. Please do not approach him cos he is most probably armed!

Wanted man : Christopher Wayne Hudson

I miss Wilfred!

No photos yet cos can't upload. wait on!

2007-06-15T02:14:00.000+08:00

What do you think of those young (say, 13-15 years old) girls who are hired by “modeling agencies” to look for “potential” models?

You noticed that I “” for the words modeling agencies and potential. That is because, I don’t really think it’s any modeling agency which focuses on searching for real potential models for commercials etc. I have friends who have experienced this before and they were so convinced by the agency that they signed a contract to pay for their personal portfolio, make-up courses, cosmetics etc. It is pretty obvious that the particular agency might just be using “modeling agency” as a cover. Their main income might be through sales of cosmetics. Sadly, I think there were many who fell for it. (please girls, look in the mirror and ask yourself. Are you really the modeling type cos from what I see, those people simply just ask every girl for their contact.) If the agencies really are finding potential models, they will hire their professional talent scout rather than those few young girls who might not even know what is good-looking and suitable for modeling (be it stage models or photo’s)

I really can’t stand it. I used to feel very happy after being scouted and rejected all offers. But now, I feel that someone should put a stop to it if it’s really not modeling that they offer.

Well, by the way, to those who watched pirates, do you know that after all the credits, there’s still a scene whereby the son of Elizabeth and Will appear. Haha… they actually have a son! Looks like pirates series will continue for quite some time.

I miss a lot of food in Singapore and I have satisfied most of my cravings today. Thanks to Maggie! Sinful! I ate so much today! And, it’s all the oily stuffs! Argh!

Happened to bump in LingXiang today at Bugis. Girl, you didn’t change much but you seemed to have grown thinner. Eat more! Have a safe trip to India tomorrow. And, may everything be smooth-sailing there. Hope to meet up soon!

Looks like have to catch up with so many people that I don’t know where to start! Gosh… There are so many guy friends enlisting to NS later and also the next coming weeks/months! It’s time for them to become the real man. If I were a man, I would try my best to get into the commando unit thou I know it’s gonna be tough. Tough times will make one tougher! Furthermore, I can train up and get a good pretty 6 pacs/ toned up boday build. (Say only la.. If I really become a man, I doubt I will still think this way. LOL)

Good luck to those who are enlisting! I am sure you will gain a lot from this journey!

And oh… Wilfred’s is having his 2nd paper of the semester tomorrow morning! I hope god will bless him. I hope he will not panic or forget important notes. I hope the paper would be fairly easy for him to complete. I hope he would have the strength and power to go through the 3hours paper. Best of luck DBB! Muahh… I know you can do it!

I realized that there are many replays of old Singapore’s dramas in Channel 8 nowadays. I personally think most of them are really good. (I meant the acting skills) Perhaps, you should try watching one episode one day.

I’m missing DBB. All the time. L

2007-06-14T00:26:00.000+08:00

I am back in Singapore. Kinda regretted forwarding my flight for graduation but I think it is still a good choice cos I won’t be able to distract Wilfred. It’s time to study hard for exams!

The flight back was smooth but pretty slow as compared to the journey to Mel. That is maybe because I dread going back to Singapore? :D Couldn’t stop feeling bored on the plane. I kept switching movies to watch because every movie feels boring to me.

Singapore is a gigantic oven! I never knew Singapore’s temperature is so high! (or should I say, I didn’t know I can feel such a big difference in the temperature in Singapore as compared to Mel) I can’t breathe for a few moments. Plus Plus Plus… It’s so humid! Making me feel hot, stuffy and all sticky. Eww..

I was happy to finally see my parents. (Even happier to see that they love the gift I personally picked for them)

I met up with Maggie the next day for shopping and mainly eating. I miss McSpicy burger and many more…Hate Singapore’s weather.

Yesterday was graduation day. Finally, officially graduated from NP! Wow.. Nicely decorated convention centre for graduation ceremony. Not bad.. I still think the robe looks weird. (can they get some student designers to design? At least students design would fit our taste)

I saw many course mates who I kinda lost contact with right after last day of school. I wonder how all of us will change in the future. Will we still keep in contact? Oh well, let nature takes its course. (Supposed to go shopping on sat with Vell, KL, Terry etc for D&D attire)

Gonna catch pirates tomorrow!

Blogging can be so useless and boring. (maybe it just applies to me) It’s just a site which you spend time writing your daily events, feelings, thoughts etc.

Pictures will be up laters!

2007-06-08T23:13:00.000+08:00

I went to Smith Street today! Need to grab something for my sister and I bought her a bag. Hope she will like it cos I love the design of it. (wanted to get it for myself) I guess our taste are not that far off.

Smith Street is far from home and I walked there alone under windy condition. It’s freezing cold out of home. Hate it. But anyway, Smith Street is a street in Fitzroy where you can find most of the sports brands with it’s product under-priced. :D (from NIKE to Brooks) However, I have only got a pair of designer shoes from there. Nice and neat.

In less than an hour, I headed home. Need to drop the items before meeting the rest for dinner at Pacific House again. (Simply can’t resist the food there) I realized that the attitude of the staffs in Pacific House sucksX10 and HK told me that, “ their business is so good! They can lose any customer. Look, there are so many people outside queueing and dying to eat here!” (He didn’t said these exact words but it brings out the same meaning) heh.. There really is a long queue and luckily we were smart enough to call and book first. (we’re experienced customer of pacific house)

This dinner is somewhat like a farewell dinner for me. J so touched cos all of them have papers to study for and yet fork out some time for this dinner. Furthermore, they even took time to buy me white roses (my favourite :D), a present and a beautifully decorated meaningful card! I’m really touched.. Thanks so much to Dhatch, Esther and David! Study hard and good luck for your papers! Rmb to drop by S’pore and I’ll bring you around. I love the roses, teddy and card.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Wilfred encountered this problem in bidding for one of his bottle. I find it pretty ridiculous.
The situation is…
the bottle was listed in Yahoo Auction Japan.
The seller will not ship internationally.
Payment must be made through Japan bank transfer.
The worst part is that Yahoo Japan is in Japanese language and
only buyers with a Yahoo Japan account can bid items!

Is Japanese trying to close its door to overseas buyers?

I don’t know man… Some say they are just too lazy to ship items overseas. But, I think maybe they just want to sell good things to their own people. (Selfish?) Or maybe they are not so good with English Language and therefore, can’t communicate with international buyers. Lotsa reason but I guess all applies.

It’s pretty unfair if Japanese can buy things from other countries but others have to find a difficult way to get things out of Japan. Luckily, there’s some sort of a middleman “occupation” (or what the heck you call it). The middleman will communicate with the seller, bid the item, pay the item, ship the item to buyer. Of course, they will charge for this service. (smart business!) Just by switching hands, middleman can earn some money. Not bad at all! Maybe we can start to consider learning Jap, migrate to Jap, and start this kinda middleman job. Hah..

I’m going back to SG so soon… I hope to visit Australia again maybe next year. Hopefully Uni isn’t that stress as how people describe.

2007-06-04T15:02:00.000+08:00

Winter is nearing! It’s becoming very cold walking in the streets, especially at night.

Some say June marks the end of autumn and start of winter. I guess it’s quite right.

We went to Chadstone Shopping Centre yesterday to do some last shopping (for gifts). Chadstone is pretty far from Melbourne city. We took tram and then train and then walk and walk and walk till we reach.

It’s a huge shopping centre with 2 main anchor tenants (Myer and David Jones). The concept resembles VivoCity in Singapore but it is way bigger than Vivo. Australia has vast pieces of land you see.

We had a tiring day of rushing around and thinking of the gifts to get. (Mainly shopping for our dads, mums and sis-s) Lunch was at Nandos. Their charcoal grilled chicken…yum.. Economically priced and delicious! If only they have it in Singapore. I heard that KL has it but it’s different from Australia’s and therefore, not as delicious.

The worst thing about shopping in Australia is the closing time of shops. They close at 5pm! So early!! In Singapore, 5pm is like the prime time for people to shop and have dinner but in Australia, majority of the shops close at 5pm! Goodness… (Now you know why I say rushing to shop) It was a fruitful shopping trip to get almost all the gifts needed.

ü My and his mums’ gift (Mocha)
ü My sis’s gift (I think I’ll have to get more)
ü His sis’s wedding gift (souvenir shop)
ü Aunts’ gift (David Jones/Myer? I forgot.)

X Both Dads’ gift. (settled today at Melbourne city’s David Jones)
X His younger sis’s gift (pending)

It’s a big headache to shop for guys’ stuff. They have too little variety to choose. Unlike females, we have a large variety from clothes to shoes to accessories. It’s especially challenging to shop for men above the age of 40. They don’t wear accessories, they go for things that are a bit more expensive (cos they can afford) and they cannot accept trendy stuffs. We had a hard time choosing that 2 gifts (for dads’) and finally settle it.

After Chadstone, we went to Holmesglen for Korean food. The best I have ever tried. Singapore’s Korean restaurant loses to this small cozy eating house. We ate the baby squid and rice cake noodles. (Thinking of it makes me hungry again) Previously, we ate beef and chicken which is quite common but the serving is big.

As usual, took train back. We waited 30 minutes for the train in an open space station. It’s so cold that we can see cold vapor (you know, like smoke. What do we call it? Mist? Cold vapor? Fog?) coming out of our mouth and nostrils as we talk.

It’s gonna be stay home these few days cos his exams are really near. (Just after I leave)

I think I’ll go Fitzroy these few days and I must start packing up. Flight is on Sunday.

I can’t wait to give mum, dad, sis and aunts presents.
I can’t wait to wear shorts and walk under scorching sun.
I can’t wait to eat Singapore’s foods.

But, I don’t wanna leave this kinda free life.

2007-05-28T23:26:00.000+08:00

Have been rather curious lately, after watching so much Korean dramas and movies, that can abdominal muscles be implanted? (i.e. 6 pacs) There are many Korean male actors with almost perfect body. (e.g. Rain) Furthermore, Korea is well-known for its almost natural-looking/skillful plastic surgery. This leads me to wonder… Maybe some male actors have their muscles implanted too! (I’m not pin-pointing at any particular actors)

So, I went to Y! it. Indeed! There is such surgery! It’s called the Muscle-Enhancing Surgery. Plastic Surgeon uses cosmetic implants and "sculpting" techniques to improve muscle contour. Information from: http://www.plasticsurgery.org/patients_consumers/procedures/PlasticSurgeryForMen.cfm

I couldn’t find “before and after” photos to show the after-effects of the surgery. But, I guess it would not be flawless (depends on the skill of the surgeon). Just like breasts implants, we female know how to differentiate implanted breasts and authentic breasts.

Would you go for plastic surgery?

Some say plastic surgeries are a waste of money as many did it due to vanity (which I believe most of the cases are).

Personal Opinion: I think plastic surgeries are for less confident people not meaning pretty + lack confidence people (pretty + lack of confidence people needs psychiatrist instead). I am talking about Individuals who are born to be less beautiful than average. (However, some can still be as confident and full of life which I think it's good!) Or, perhaps people who have got on with age. (I would go for botox if my winkles really affect me when I’m old or breast enhancement if my boobs sag too much) haa…

Many guys say that they would feel disgusted to touch implanted breasts but, I think they just say say only. Can they really feel the difference? Or, do they really care when they are in the “process” with a hot-looking thou breasts implanted babe?

Looks are still secondary. It is a bonus. If you have the looks, 3 cheers! If you don’t, I believe you have something better (perhaps you have the brains? (: ) God is fair, hardly one have both brain and beauty. We should cherish what we have and seek what we lack.

Happy Birthday to David and thanks for Thai food! I'm sure all of us enjoyed the treat!

I love to be part of parties. Celebration for others makes my day too! I will miss Australia and the mini parties/get-together we had in Dhatch and Esther’s apartment! And, those shopping experiences too!

I have uploaded more pictures below!

These 2 days have been very tiring for me.

On fri, we (Dhatch,David,Wilfred&me) met up for lunch at Bismi's. It sells Indian cuisine but in a fastfood concept. Nice food! Thereafter, we went to Myer to get Esther's birthday present and cake. We decided to buy her the Hilton Heiress perfume cos with accurate info, we know she will love it. The cake was mudcake. Delicious! I love chocolate! It's a bad thing. I have gained weight due to over consumption of chocolate, wholegrains etc etc.. But, chocolate is my ultimate curse! I remember hearing this saying...

" Men are just like chocolate. They go for your hips!" :D

Chocolate really goes for you hips! Hate it! But, who cares now.. loss weight later. enjoy now. :)

Oh and I came across some nice perfume while browsing through for the heiress.

Anna Sui " Ooh La Love"
Davidduff women

I like the one I'm using. Anna Sui Secret Wish. A gift from a friend on my 19th birthday! thanks mel!

Okay back to Fri. After buying the present and cake, we went to get 100 balloons to decorate Esther's apartment. It's meant to be a surprise party for her which will commence at 0000hours 19th May 2007.

After the shopping, we took free tram (illegal) home. LOL..

Night came and we went to Esther's ( also Dhatch's) apartment to decorate and prepare. All went well except we were surprised by Esther instead. (She was surprised too) Cos Charlie ( who is supposed to keep in touch with us and inform us of their location etc) got drunk! And, so while we were preparing, Esther suddenly walk in with a red-face Charl together with Viv. There was a 5 seconds of stunned looking, shocked, speechless moment until Esther kinda scream and then we shouted happy birthday! :D Funny. And so came the whipped cream and eggs war. We hang ard till 3 plus before we decided to head home. Slept at 5am.

Woke up at about 2pm but still feeling sleepy. 10 of us went to have dinner at Richmond. Gosh! I love the Fried Chicken Ribs! There was roasted duck, roasted pork, veg etc etc.

Pacific Cafe

Yummy??

Front ( L2R) : Eve, Eng, Dhatch

Back (L2R) : Me, Esth, Beck

We headed to Irish Pub along Elgin Street to chill.

Left the Pub at 12am and went to College Square to watch FA cup finals ( Chelsea vs Man U)

Chelsea won! yeah! Another burnt night. Slept at 4plus am.

Gotta go cook soon!

Ever heard of Colin Cowie? He is one famous events and wedding planner. Came to know him in one of Oprah's talk show which features a few events and weddings he planned for people( Mainly those who are very very rich).

I love his job cos I believe he has created alot of unforgettble memories for people.

I admire him cos he's very passionate about his job and he's a very tidy guy (Oprah featured his apartment and whoo! It's super neat. Everything is in order.) plus he can cook! :D and and and... quite good-looking too!

Alittle history about him:

I have actually blogged a very long entry but I deleted it.

Reason being, the content will affect relations between some people. That's why people say personal opinions are very sensitive to others.

Damn pissed. I really think a blog is a very personal thing where one can blog your own personal feelings and thoughts. But alright, to some extent we have to be aware that there are a number of people reading and it might include those mentioned in the entry. Then, there comes destroying of relationships.

So very well.. I deleted some unhappy views.

Nothing much to look forward to this week other than dinner at Richmond on Saturday night for Esther's birthday.

I'm worried about HX ( her health, job), Mag (her health, job), Ser (Love?). Both HX and Mag quitted their job at almost the same time but for different reasons. I'm sorry for not being there when you 2 needed me most.

And, I miss a number of people. ( Sis Chloe, Mum, Dad, Granny, Eileen, Mag, HX, Ser, Melvin, Vell, Miss K, Fishing with Mark, the familar faces in TMTC, Pri Sch mates, Sec Sch mates) I might miss out some. I just miss those I love.

Got to go sleep. have to wake at 7am tommorrow.

2007-04-28T13:55:00.000+08:00

Wow, it has been a long time since I last posted an entry.

Alright, I flew over to Australia 1 month ago and am currently still in Australia. My purpose is to accompany my love, learn how to be independent and to tour around Melbourne.

So yea, I took the 7+hours flight to Melbourne alone. It was quite an experience. I were able to take a window seat and beside me sat an old (50+ of age? I guess) swedish couple. They were really nice and we chatted once awhile thou they had difficulty in communicating with English.

Time passes fast on the plane and SIA serves 2 yummy (as compared to other planes I sat) meals and one can watch the movie you want with your personal player fixed in front of you. I watched Blood Diamond and something else which I forgot what is was. And, before you realise, you have reached Melbourne. lol. Some pictures I took on the plane after a nap.

It was a long walk from the plane to the clearance area and I was held back by the officer due to some problem with my passport. I freaked out! But, I gave a calm look and attitude. So, for about 10 minutes, I sat there waiting for my passport before I proceed to collect my lagguage. After collection of lagguage, we have to go for scan-through of lagguage. Luckily everything thereafter went through smoothly. No wonder people say Australia customs are really strict. It's true.

Having gone through all those I finally get to see Wilfred! The feeling is just so weird when I first saw him after so long. It felt like the very first time we met; it was a good feeling. :) Cos my flight touched down at night so we went directly home by skybus and tram. Such complicated transport system which I have not figured out how to go about riding it alone to another place.

The house they (Wilfred, HK, BJ -housemates) rented is comfy but untidy and dirty. I guess the reason is cos they didnt maintain it well. lol. I didnt volunteer to clean up too cos it's really a mess and no one knows where to start with.

I fell asleep soon after a long chat with Wilfred. 7+ hours of flight can be tiring!

The next day, Wilfred brought me out. I forgot where but we just went around. I managed to capture some photos for the start but thereafter, i forgot the existence of the camera. lol.

The next few days was just groceries shopping cos he has papers to mug for. However, I had fun staying home cooking and watching HongKong drama series. ( Central Affairs 2. I would rate it 8.8/10)

A few days later, it was HK's ( one of his housemates) birthday and there were plans for him. Esther, Dhatch and Becky ( really nice people to hang out with! ) planned to bake him cupcakes. So, Becky lure him out while the rest came over to bake cupcakes. Baking and decorating were fun!

Cupcakes look delicious? They were successfully made!

During Easter Break, we signed up for Easter Camp @ Philip Island organised by St. Judes Church. This camp is a very relaxing camp and it is held at a superb location! No words to describe the scenery from our campsite! There are so many things to do on Philip Island.

We went to the Nobbies where we get to see the Seal Island ( where the seals and penguins gather), walk down the boardway and discover penguins below the boardway.

Wildlife Park where we get "intimate" with the animals such as Kangeroos etc.

Penguin Parade was the torturious one. It is a parade by the beach facing the Arctic whereby the penguins will swim over daily ( at night) from there to Philip Island to stay for the night. B'cos it faces the cold ocean + the penguin comes in the night ( low temperature) + it is a must-come-early-to-copp-good-view-seats tourist attraction = to go there early and let the cold wind blow onto you for a good 3 hours before you see cute little penguins appearing on the shore. :) It's believed to be 0degree celcius under that kinda condition. D Cold! It was worthwhile thou to see how the penguins come in group of 10 and slowly march together up to their nest. No photography was allowed so we couldnt take pictures.

Other than all these fun stuffs, I have 2 good news from Singapore.

Good news No. 1 :

"Congratulations! It is my pleasure to offer you to the National University of Singapore (NUS) in academic year 2007-2008 for the course of study in : ..."

I have got into my first choice course in NUS! :D

Good news No. 2:

"Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected to receive the following award(s):

Diploma with Merit : Awarded for outstanding academic performance in the coure up to 10% of the graduating class..."

I'm graduating with a Diploma with Merit! :D

Many happiness!

So, I have to decide whether to get back to Singapore early for the graduation day or to stay here till the end of June.

But for now, have to recover from my flu and sore throat first.

I had so much fun at the NSRCC - Changi Safra Bungalow 1! I miss chalet now. But, the good news is Markuteh booked another chalet at Downtown East from 22nd-25thMarch!

Has been raining all day again.

Went to Chinatown (again) to get conditioner, face wash and mask yesterday.
For those who have some serious skin problem, i would like to recommend Demalogica products.
I used to have pretty bad complexion and changes can be observed ever since i started using Dema products. However, the price for the products can be pretty steep. Like, S$99 for the cleanser etc. Nothing hits below S$70. I would recommend the Precleanse, Scrub, Active Toner and Moisturiser. The rest is really up to your financial capability. :D

So ya, i was saying i went to Chinatown to get those stuff and then it started to pour. I'm glad i brought umbrella along. From there, I headed down to Bugis Village to get a handbag which I have been eye-ing for quite some time.

I have been "attending" my self-conducted retail therapy session these few days. LOL! Impulsive spendings! PLEASE TRY TO CONTROL YOURSELF KT

Been wanting to sign up for classes at either A'more or Planet Fitness but no companion to do so. sigh.. I've tried A'more and it kinda sucks. The classes are okay but the staffs and place itself is not really welcoming. California Fitness has really good machines and welcoming feeling but it's location is in town. My first consideration would still be Planet Fitness at VivoCity cos it's so near to home! But, guess i'm not gonna sign up now cos will be away soon and there are so many things coming up.

Can't wait for class chalet at Changi Safra and meeting up with Serene&friends!
I miss secondary school friends.

2007-03-02T21:04:00.000+08:00

Joyous!

I've gotten my driving license! Don't have to drive illegally now!

I've booked my air tickets! Departure date is getting nearer! I can see you soon!

Serene is back from China! I miss her so much!

Class Chalet is on!

Cousin is finally getting married after co-habitating with his gf for 4-5 years!

I've received a present from fred's present they bought from hakkaido! thanks!

many more to come!

What Happened?
I've asked myself countless times as to what happened to our friendship. I can still vividly remember how we became friends in Sec Sch and gradually became best friends. We were often seen in threes and we wrote postcards to one another even though we see each other daily in sch everyday.

However, this friendship fell apart when 2 of us couldn't tolerate her attitude. But things went well till after graduation. I totally lost contact with her due to the "can't be bothered" attitude and also life became so busy with new sch and peeps. The last time I saw them was at a bbq gathering. I can feel that she don't feel good about my presence. (C'mon what's wrong?! tell me! It's stupid to listen to rumors and worst of all, to believe in themand destroy a friendship!)

I can feel it. Some kind of hatred in her.

So well, 2 years after graduation, I met with some other Sec Sch friends and they told me some stuff which I didn't know and I still do not believe.

The Story
There was this guy ( ok, let's name him A). A and her were quite good friends. ( Dont really know how they started off as friends cos he's a senior). She and me were still best friends then and she often told me how much A admires me so on and so forth. But, i can feel that she likes him from the start and i didnt really care. In the end, I got together with A.

The Stuffs that i heard...
" ... did you know that she and A have something going on behind your back? omg, you didnt know?! that time.... bla bla bla..."

It's pretty hard to believe but thinking back, they really have a close relationship as friends.

The biggest Prob
I think the biggest prob is another guy. I seriously think that friends are so much more precious than guys.

Oksy, she like this very good buddy of mine. And well, like many other crushes, the guy likes her too. So, i became the match-maker hoping that she will finally find her love. (childish thinking back in Sec sch days. ha!) I took the effort to organise chalet and let them have some private time together. but, wth the guy changed his mind and told me that she is not the one and I have to help him convey this msg to her. ( How am i going to say it? You broke her heart and left this mess to me!) the worst thing is that he confessed to me. ( so eventually, everyone thinks that i "snatched" him away!)

You can call me whatever names you want to cos i got together with that buddy of mine during summer vacations cos i dont want to miss out someone who can communicate so well and understand me so well. I have to keep this from her cos she is having such a hard time trying to get over him. and i dont know how to handle such situations. ( this is such a wrong move!)

the above really threw the whole friendship into a deep dark hole where none of us know how to save it.

till now, i guess she still thinks i'm at fault but i can swear to god I have never done anything that will harm this friendship of ours.

3 years have past. I see many photos of gatherings they had together and I wasnt invited. that hurts..

I hope she could understand that what happened in the past was really a misunderstanding she had for me.

Many times i wanted to call her up and talk to her but i am lack of the courage to do so.

Graduation Photo-Taking

Okay here are my graduation photos taken on 5th Feb 2007.

2007-02-08T00:00:00.000+08:00

Farewell...

I've just got myself a nice bath and face wash with my tears. Laughs. I held back my tears so much at the airport 1 hour ago. There wasn't any dramatic farewell for us but I saw many others who hugged and cried like they'll never meet again till their next life, perhaps.

It wasn't easy for me though I know we'll meet soon again at Melbourne in April. People said, " ..aiya, very fast one la. 2 years. somemore he coming back in June...". C'mon, things will be different when compared to him being here in Singapore and away from me in Melbourne. The thought of being unable to feel him by my side really make my eyes swell with tears.

And, we were so used to meeting at least thrice a week. Now, not even once. No more bedtime stories till i fall asleep. Nobody to lookout for "dangers" for me. ( I often hurt myself when I am out. Either bang onto others or some display. He's always the one who will lookout for me and pull me whenever needed to.)

Of course I would want him to go as studies will definitely benefit him in the future and our future :) I wouldn't hold him back thou i don't want him to go so badly. I really hope you would study well there and have fun at the same time.

As for trust, I totally trust you but never must you break it again.

Lotsa things to occupy me till April. Exams, perhaps work and catching up with friends.

Till then, take care my love.

2007-02-07T00:58:00.000+08:00

A new year!

My beloved is leaving tomorrow for Australia, Melbourne for his studies. My wishes for him thou I can't bear to see him go. Well, I'll be joining him in April too. So, I guess it's just gonna be a short parting.

Graduation photo taking was held yesterday. Time flies. First year's orientation was like yesterday and today I am graduating.

Many things have changed too. Or, should i say, many people have changed. Long story which I will definitely blog on later on.

Studies for now!
