2008-03-09T23:35:00.009+08:00

haha. yes i'm bored and this is totally random.

Haha. yup he's gross!
lets see. this should be about 3yrs ago i guess..

and pls dont tell me i look the same. heh.!

ahh! help. i feel like i'm about to cough my lungs out!! Ugh.

pls let me get well by this friday before i start croaking like a frog on sunday.

and someone stop me from snacking on nutella. For the record, i already finished 3 bottles. :/

thats bad..very bad

Oh i was just thinking,

what if i worked as a freelance singer at those "clean" pubs/bars etc?
like those with one/two guitars with me singing bossa nova kinda songs. haha

Possible?? can make it not? haha just to earn extra cash, kill time and make sth out of that little talent i think i have.

i mean, i cant get a job as a part time model cos i'm not tall and gorgeous..and usually event companies go for those pretty ones..
but i think i can at least carry a tune right..? or no? haha

so where to find lobang?
nah.. just sth random..

2008-03-08T00:48:00.004+08:00

can someone enlighten me on how or what is the coding for allowing comments on each post for blogger? sth like livejournal.

heh.
or maybe i should just switch to livejournal and be a cool kid too.
.
Oh and i have skype!!
yay. like finally.

hellooo

2008-03-06T22:28:00.012+08:00

Hello. I'm back from camp!
Not much darker but my voice is sooo bad now i can hardly be heard.
anyways..this batch of kids were extremely naughty and rude..I'm always scolding the kids but it warms your heart when you read what they still think about you in the evaluation forms and hearing them say that they miss you!
Well, from Day 2 my kids became slightly more well behaved and we voted them as best group :)
.
And so i did sth new again this camp. HAA.
i was conned into co-"hosting" the camp fire. scream shout rah rah blah blah. heh. but turns out that camp fire was great. haha. Guess it wasnt that bad!
.
Honestly.. the job doesnt pay me very well for the amt of work done and the level of stress we put on our voices..but really, there is nothing more satisfying then being with the kids (no matter how monkey-ish they can get).
i keep saying its my last camp. but i cant help it but keep going back. haha. so we'll see how! (:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
.
Guess what..
My Korean photographer friend, Peter (haha yeah peter..his REAL name), just added me on Msn..
and we are seriously having the weirdest conversation ever..
hahaha. he's typing in broken english and i thought i was being helpful by using some online device to translate and reply in korean.
i asked if my he understands what i'm trying say.. and he replies "no understand, you speak english" haha. zzz
Good try lavonne.
.............
i hope i didnt say anything too dumb

2008-03-03T18:33:00.003+08:00

camp!
pls let me meet nice ppl!

picture this.

2008-03-03T00:14:00.021+08:00

Hello.

I'm going to FLOOD FLOOD FLOOD this entry with pictures.

Heh.i mean..seriously who's gonna come over my place, turn on the computer and stare at some undeveloped photos of my trip.

so why waste it..i might as well post it up, show the world and help myself remember. :D

Japan..Japan.

Beautiful blue sky, cold cold weather, good food(i love jap food), EXTREMELY nice ppl, great service, love the culture and good looking ppl.

The things there are also really expensive..a 100yen (which is used like our $1) is equivalent to our $1.35. and here's the thing..you hardly find items that cost a 100yen. The least you pay for a cup of hot chocolate from the dispenser already cost 300yen. !!! (and hot chocolate is a lifesaver in the cold! :))

O the Shoes! they only come in only 3 sizes. S, M and L for certain designs. so if you like it..you just gotta fit!

and Technology! heh they are way more advanced than we are! you should check out their cellphones. hoho. if only our simcards were compatible. If not i would love to buy one phone for myself!
.

Apparently the weather forecast told us that it would be about 10degrees + but when we got there, temperatures dropped drastically till like 0 degrees and below. heh. so yeah.. i didnt bring enough warm clothes!
But Anwayss.. it was more like a relaxation trip..The itinerary isnt packed with places to go..and we didnt visit the busy city areas...instead i spend half the time soaking in hot springs (yes intensive hot spring soaking cos they told us it gives you goood skin...) and at first i wasnt really comfortable with that special "requirement" before you enter..but oh wells! :) and Speaking of hotsprings.. There are both indoor and outdoor! Outdoor is so much nicer cos you at least get to enjoy the lovely view rather than staying in a room full of steam!..but then again its super cold too! and Sometimes i think i look quite stupid running out into the open, plunge right into the hot pool and then stand up jumping around cos the water is SO HOT. But Its okay..i'm all out for good skin. haha.

And if you are wondering why do i have so much money to travel....well i dont. My relatives sponsored everything. By right its for my 21st birthday..but by wrong..its becos they needed one more person to fill the spot and someone to take care of my grandma..so there! Didnt come cheap but i got it for free!. :)
.

and so Japan is seperated into 4 main zones..Hokkaido, Kyushu, Honshu and Shikoku
Tokyo is part of Honshu, which is the main island and apparently, my relatives went to all the other 3 zones already..So this time, we went to Kyushu. And only this time they decide to bring me along.. Heh. So no Tokyo!! boo.. but it was a good break from city life tho..
.

okay. i know enough yakking..!!

so here goess.. .

alright that all!

i hope you dont feel like smashing your computer now! haha

Educational rightt :)

not for the faint hearted!

2008-02-29T15:26:00.007+08:00

i never leave the house without my book on Sudoku..
Yesss..i am addicted to it and i'm spreading the addiction..:)

.
So Try This.
Puzzle 109 of 300. haha
its only Medium!! and i'm already stuck. Heh.

Think when i'm onto the Hard/Very Hard section, i cant even fill in one number man.. Jialat.

Must try ok. I will reveal the answers in the next entry!! :D
and Pls tell me if you can complete this puzzle really fast..I'll make you my SHIFU! haha
.

oh P.s. I WILL COMPLETE THE WHOLE BOOK. HAHAHA.
and only cool kids play sudoku. YAY!

teri tan, i know you are reading..and i know what you're thinking..I'm not a geek! haha

kisses and cake

2008-02-25T22:37:00.013+08:00

Great show.
Hilary Swank was awesome. and Gerald Butler.....ah! he's just too hot. haha. + he's BIG, he's Irish and he has that slang!
how cool is that man.
.
I'm so in Love with the movie!
and its the only few that can make me cry..
or in fact i did cry. We all did. except pearl that is. (:
.
I cant imagine how it would be like if my husband leaves me one day.
i'll probably cry my eyeballs out.
I had a dream once that Peter died (*names are changed to protect his/her identity haha).
i was soo devastated i could literally feel the pain in my sleep. I mean literally..like a part of me got ripped off. (haha so drama right)
Then a few months later, someone who looks exactly like him came along, started to date me, brought me to places we've been etc..and i started to think, maybe he didnt die after all..Heh But ends up that guy wasnt Peter..it was his cousin or sth and He did what he did cos he couldnt bare to see me suffer like that so he tried to L*** me (haha you know that forbidden word) and tried to be Peter. But he realise he couldnt L*** me the way Peter did..and so i was back to where it all started. haha
It was a super long dream..But ohwells, i'm glad it was JUST a dream
Haha. Right. and i think i just made some ppl cringe. :)
but in my dream it was really very Drama okay. as if it was real. haha
i think i can be a scriptwriter in my sleep!
Winter Sonata's plot also sth like that wadddd..haha
heh anyways its a nonsensical dream la. But it made me realise how much that special someone means to me..
I'm sorry i was angry for so long..
P.S. I Love You very much

:)

I know. This is probably worst than the pumpkin tag! haha. :P
oh whatever.

take my hand

2008-02-25T09:59:00.006+08:00

Army food rations are my current addiction.

Esp the noodles..! they are extremely tasty!

so gimme gimme gimme more.

heh. i know. strange addiction to have.. but i LOVE it.

:/ i think my diet these days screams unhealthy!!
.
oh wells

i feel like i have a million and one things to say but to who? i have no idea.

i think i need a hotline.
my room is in a big mess (and thats very unlikely of me), my emotions are everywhere, my relatives thinks i'm a money sucking kid, my mum says i have an evil heart, my eyes are puffy and my confidence level is going down down down.

So many things gone wrong but i thank God i still have Him.
Without Him, i'll probably be a victim at the brink of depression.
and I'm holding on because i know that there is a higher call and a greater purpose for my existance than just me myself and I.

Indeed He is bigger than all my "issues".
.
But sometimes you still need a physical being that you can run to..

Someone i can call in the middle of the night when things go wrong, Someone not superficial and Someone who simply listens sincerely and not preach back at me what i already know..
isnt it so?
Or maybe i should just learn to open my golden mouth.
but chances are that i'll end up keeping it to myself again.
I seriously dont understand myself
.

and Dont get me wrong.

i'm not complaining and i'm not saying i'm falling.

What i need is strong pillar i can lean back on.
.
i think i'm stressed out.
OH WELLS.

grace enough

2008-02-24T09:22:00.004+08:00

You. i'm tired of making time
.
oh and p.s. I really miss you Jul!!

2008-02-23T11:50:00.008+08:00

Camp was awesome awesome awesome!
love the kids!!!!
(:

.
Oh yes.
last night my poor friends waited outside my house for over an hour just to go for supper! haha.
tushan and gang decided to popped by my place at like 2am cos they wanted to go for supper at changi. they called me but it got cut off after i picked up the phone (my house has got no reception haha) i was already half asleep by then and i couldnt be bothered to run around the house finding reception, so i went back to sleep! haha
then at 3am, they finally manage to get through and said that they have been waiting outside for an hour! :/
i ran out of the house and had prata at 3+ am. tsk tsk. .

apparently they tried throwing mentos at my window to wake me up.

haha. oops.
.
!!!!!!! RUDY!

haha kidding. we just used the bottles that were already there.

oh so heavy

2008-02-19T21:37:00.006+08:00

i spent my whole day filling up registration forms and preparing documents for Uni applications.
so taxing on the brain really.

Tell me again why did i wait one year? heh.
Oh wells.
oh God pls pls pls help me get in.
i'm so desperate! :(
Face up reality. We need these Papers.
.
Oh I've got a camp to do on wed - fri!
and its book in time now now now!
hope i meet nice people.
.

Dad will be flying off on thurs. so i will only be seeing him in 3 weeks time.
apparently he found another job that requires him to work in Jakarta.
How can i not be worried.
Let him be safe!!

my way

2008-02-18T13:03:00.003+08:00

I don't think i'm cut out for certain things.
but sometimes, it just seems like my life is being mapped out and directed by others instead.
.
or maybe i should just learn to say no.

always enough

2008-02-18T01:38:00.010+08:00

Been a long time since we've been out for a whole day like this.
okay not really the whole day cos i was busy doing last min packing for the trip so we only went out in the evening.
but its always nice knowing that we dont have to rush for a book in later at night.
.
Underwater world was quite disappointing.
Overpriced and nothing fantastic to look at either. okay maybe not that it wasnt fantastic..it simply lacked the variety (or maybe i took the one jul and i went to in HK as a benchmark thats why. haha it was hugeeee there.)
Right.. dont compare..we dont have much land. haha.
and i hate FISH. nice to eat tho.
.
Then we watched errm..oh yes Sweeney Todd.
As usual, Johnny depp (no matter how sadistic) is sooo charming!
but the show has too much throat cutting. haha i cant take stuff like that.
and i cant believe Jan chiang wanted to watch that show twice!! tsk tsk. ultimate sadist.. haha
oh and Dajie kept doing that throat cutting sound...ugh. my neck feels itchy now.
.
p.s. I LOVE HOTDOG FACTORY. (:

xoxo

Oh then there was this guy. tsk tsk.

we wanted to buy fried rice from katong and we had to park at the corner of the road.
but this dear uncle had to stand where the lot is to wait for a cab.
we drove near him expecting him to move but he didnt! then we horn him.. and he didnt move either! ugh. then we tried to squeeze the car in and the rear mirror knocked him.
HE STILL DIDNT move.
aiyo. then about a few mins later he went forward. so i started taking pictures of him haha.

yes typical singaporean (:
.
duno whats wrong with him also.

tong tong chiang

2008-02-17T11:24:00.006+08:00

Yay. I'm back from Japan!!!!
Love the food, the cold cold weather and the people. :) :) :)
.

And as usual.. I wish i could stay there forever!!! haha but i realise how much i miss home too.
Unlike the time i went to Korea, the phone brought along isnt 3G so i couldnt contact anyone from Home! AH! so torturous.

and i think i can count the number of times i spoke in English. Most of the time its either Cantonese with my family or sign language with the Japanese.
So much for saying that i want to isolate and live overseas all by myself!!
Oh wells. now i'm home and i'm looking forward to going overseas again. I HOPE!!!
Pray hard someone sponsors me again. haha.
.
anyways.. Did this before i left for Japan..but didnt have time to load it up.
so here goes..

bye.

2008-02-10T14:05:00.003+08:00

like a lil kid.

2008-02-07T00:17:00.000+08:00

Loyang tua pek kong (LTPK) blasted some fireworks outside my house about 15mins ago.

i was so excited i ran out of my house barefooted hoping that i might catch a glimpse of it...

But once again..i missed it.

Tell me. why so "sway"!?

oh and LTPK is making Loyang such a "happening" place. haha

Heh i'm watching that Chinese New Year show on Channel 8 now.

cant stand it when the poor Stars are made to walk around the stage with a mic and with soooo much enthusiasm, pretending that they're singing it live when everything sounds so pre-recorded.

or maybe its really live la.

hai...the sai kangs you do being an artiste in Singapore.
.

EH. and that fortune teller guy seems to be pronouncing bad luck on everyone la. tsk.

anyways!

gong xi fa cai!

ang pow many many okay!

P.S. If only we could spark off some fire crackers! Then new year will be so much more happening.

2008-02-06T02:33:00.000+08:00

You can help by buying her clothes here.

where were you?

2008-02-05T00:14:00.000+08:00

Cell Reunion Dinner.

my dad is a really lousy camera man. haha
.
and so we all shopped, cut and chopped, Realised how auntified Steph is and that Pearl doesnt know how to open cans, Had dinner at my place and watched TV.
Indeed it was a good day.
.
Somehow my house seems almost like chalet already.
i have people coming almost every other day, but i like it that way. (:
---------------------------------
.
Oh Today i went over to TP to pick up the Digi cam from Nam and i Met TERI TAN for lunch.
I kinda forgot how it was like to eat cheap food in school! haha
The noodles only cost abt $1.80. but the portion is quite miserable la
and i dont know why, but I felt super out of place back there.
Everything seems so unfamiliar and i felt..."over-aged" for a min. haha
Maybe i havent been to school for a very long time. and that reminds me..
UNI APPLICATIONS ARE OPENED! heh
i'm super lazy to fill up forms and do those writeups. but oh wells. I'll just procrastinate a little.
----------------------------------
.
alright, time to slp.
i'm having a splitting headache now..
and my belly hurts from all that vomiting. heh
its making me very moodyyy..
Get well soon
i still want to collect angpows, eat ba kuas and pineapple tarts.
.
- lavvv :/

2008-02-01T12:42:00.000+08:00

Camp was great. as usual

I tried rock climbing, abseiling and zipline yest!

Once in a lifetime..so i might as well try it other than just seeing the kids do it haha

Rock climbing was so easy esp when the guys were pulling me up instead (but i did my own fair share of climbing too okay) haha and when i was up there, they wouldnt let me down until i sang a song for them.. tsk.

But all in all, it was fun.

Just that work is making me look muscular and there are blisters on my hands now. so boo. :)

I just finished watching Winter Sonata.
JIU WO. i dont like the ending. heh. why do they have to make it so sadd. tsk tsk.

But it made me miss Korea alot! or rather just being overseas..The cold romantic weather and all.. :)

Oh and guess what. I dont even realise that i'm leaving for Japan the Next coming sunday can. Didnt think it was so soon. haha.

oh wells.. Its strange but i'm not as excited as when i was going to Korea. maybe becos i'm not going to the whole of Japan.. i saw the itinery and i think i'm going to visit alot of old history sites! heh.

But i'm glad its still Winter over there.
.

Sorry, i just had to paste his picture here. AH! haha

so charming when he smiles.

haha okay enough

paddles up!

2008-01-29T19:38:00.000+08:00

Ho ho ho.

Guess what i did today. Heh.

Well, i was a RAFT INSTRUCTOR! haha How cool is that.

Stylo milo pom pi pi.

But i'm a little burnt and obviously a shade darker now..Heh. OH and my skin hurts!

SO boo to that. (:

And so It wasnt an easy crowd to control cos its Northlight Secondary..

I have kids crying non-stop as they step into the sea, a handful of over enthu boys that just cant sit still, some who just decides to do some disappearing act on me and another who simply jumped off the raft in the middle of the sea!!

but they're really really adorable.

They hold your hands, play with you and i hug some of them..its like aww..

Anyhow. It was a great day.

made new friends again..(apparently alot of ppl think i'm only 18. so yes), learnt a new skill, my body hurts and i'm still feeling the waves. :/

haha

okay. i'm waiting for Pearl now and maybe steph later..

Another camp on thursday! (:

I'll see through your eyes

2008-01-28T23:45:00.000+08:00

Always about OTHERS.

star gazing

2008-01-25T13:56:00.000+08:00

i'm back from camp..

and so i wasnt really a group leader.. more like group Instructor!

you know like those sec 3 camps those kind of instructor?? haha

and i dont look a tad bit like an instructor pls. Most of them are tann, sporty looking.. and trust me, you can never figure out their age. haha i think i look the kiddiest even tho i'm one of the older ones. heh Sometimes i even get mistaken as one of the sec 1 students esp with my squeaky voice! Zzz.

But thank God this was a good start for me and a pretty easy camp to handle cos we had all the student leaders to coordinate all the very naughty kids and some really "old bird" instructors around me.. So, i actually had time to speed learn how to do all the outdoor sports like rock climbing, abseiling, zip line....(just in case), tie ropes, save lives, bring the kids out to sea for water confidence and not forgetting, DRAGON BOATING!

yes. i actually stood at the front of the dragon boat giving commands. And the kids kept rocking the boat cos they simply enjoyed seeing me panick when i'm almost about to fall. haha.

Basically, i have to know it all and look professional.

Oh and initially i was quite worried about the fitting in part.. but somehow i got along quite well with most of them. Esp with my malay buddy haha. He's 31! looks 28 but young at heart like 23. kinda like rudy that kind. and He's always irritating me, wrapping me with the hammock and beating me. heh but yeah he has taught me well.

Actually the camp isnt that fantastic. (coming from a camp committee's point of view, Generations' camps are alot more organised and we put more heart and soul into planning. haha) esp with the kids driving me mad sometimes.. its really the company that kept me going. i mean, when everyone hangs out and laugh together..its really nice. :) but other than the fact that they keep laughing at me too. Seriously. whats so funny about me. tsk tsk. haha happens everywhere i go. boo.

but yeah. i'm starting to miss everyone now. haha so strange.

The best part was when all the kids come running to you, hugging you again and again, sticks to you..etc etc.. it was like aww.

What could be more satisfying than to know that they really appreciate you and all.

Seriously, if i had my weekends free i would gladly agree to stay on for the next few days and take on another school. :)

i think i'll consider this as part time. YAY! i mean really. although the pay isnt that good but i dont mind. and They asked if im interested and i said yes!! But i just may get ALOT darker if i keep doing it. haha.

OH OH OH ya!! i taught my class how to play the "chikok chikok chikok, bang bang bang" game haha so lame.. apparently they liked it but they're not exactly very good at it haha. so yeah.

anyways! its nap time and i'll have to rush off for rehearsal later. Oh God Pls pls pls pls help me. ESP when my throat feels so dry from all that shouting..

ahhhh I miss camp and everyone. (:

okay.. No pictures again. heh. burgers.

time to take a nap now.

hooha

its the campfire song song.

2008-01-23T00:50:00.000+08:00

Hello.

I'll be gone for some last min camping trip to earn myself some extra cash.. :)

yay! $$$

But its strange how i'm feeling so nervous about this whole thing.

maybe i'm always doing the planning/execution and so on.. but now, as a "Group Leader"???

heh not sure if i'd make a good one tho. I'm not exactly the Rah rah sort you know. (as in REALLY!!!)
.

and i dont know ANYONE there too. like ZERO. which means, i have to be rah rah with a whole bunch of people i dont know. Jiu wo.

oh wells, i guess its time to make new friends.. Which, i kinda forgot how.... OH dear.. Help.

Anyways! Wish me "luck"!

----------------------------------------
.

meanwhile, i'll drown myself in some Korean Drama.

makes me itch if i have to wait 3 days before i can catch the ending..

SO. 2 more dvds and i'm DONE!! (can't believe how i can actually sit there for hours, watching what seems so much like a "SLOW-MO" film with more crying than dialogues. -.-

a single act of random loving kindness.

2008-01-14T16:58:00.000+08:00

Heidi Baker is my HERO...

.
My mum used to tell me that one day i'll go to Uganda..and my response will always be Eww, Yuck, No Way.
But now.. If God ever wants me to Go to Uganda, Mozambique etc.. I'll say, send me and i will go! .

Really.. if there's someone other than Jesus i want to model after, that will be Heidi..

i guess its all about the LOVE. :)

---------------------

Anyways! I had driving today. and HO HO! jiu wo. i think i'm a bad driver. No strength to lift the handbrake, no strength to turn the steering wheel, always getting leg cramps while stepping on the clutch, cannot even set the reverse gear in properly,...heh and u should really hear the story about how i was a potential road hazard. (i tried adjusting my seat while driving!)

still wanna catch a ride from me? haha .

----------------------

oh and Pris just left my place.. we swam 20 LAPS today! haha okay. but mine is not an Olympic sized pool la so consider that 10 laps. yay.

Yes.. and i'm feeling very domesticated now cos I'm preparing dinner for my family, TTL, Jasper, and V KWANN...

hope no one lao sai!

haha kidding. cos i'm way better at cooking then i am at driving. haha.

u can trust me on that! :)

-----------------------

Okay i know.. my picture posts are very overdued la...

but no choice! i have no camera of my own! so i always have to wait for ppl to send me pictures.

Burgers.

and i always knew i had a big mouth. hahaha. heh.

Oh thats the BIT people btw.

It was yiling's (siao char bo's) birthday too..

whoever you are.. come on.. get a life, do yourself a favour, and stop doing stupid lame stuff such as this.

u amuse me in such a sick way really.

Better not let me find out who you are.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Oh and one more thing.

Yeah. talk about appropriate time and PLACE...

i've always thought that comments should be kept to yourself, confronted or explained to the person you are directing it to. and not post it online for ppl to read, even if its your prerogative to write whatever you want on your blogs or its simply just a general comment.

still..... How stumbling. isnt it so?

-------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry .

I dont know why am i so frustrated about these things today.

it just really pisses me off.

maybe because its about people you care about.

UGH

oh wells. no other comments.

2008-01-02T02:57:00.000+08:00

OH! and Its okay if we dont have best friends tattoos or piercings. haha cos i got something else for you.

Finally.

80s Rewind?? haha

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SABBY AND JUL.

just like any other.

2008-01-01T23:00:00.000+08:00

Hello 2008.

Goodbye horrible 2007.

honestly, i dont even know why is it a bad year for me. 2007 kinda just went by and It just feels as if i've been slapped left right up down.

Been thru some tough times with loved ones, disappointments etc etc..(i shall not not go into it..) but all i hope for is a better 2008. and Hopefully, most of my baggages have been left behind!

So, my New Year's Resolution is to.... errm... Step on less banana skins? - whatever sense that made haha.

ANYWAYS! i'm turning 21 this year. BURGERS! They say once you hit 20, whatever that comes after that happens really fast... so yeahh tell me about it.

And all soon to be 21 year olds should have a wish list. haha yeah right. (its inspired by jason chua! haha)

and here's mine..

I would like a...

CAR. a car that belongs to the family at least.

Microdermabrasion on my face HAHA! then i can throw away all the liquid foundation

an eyebrow embroidery session. then i wouldnt have to worry if i get caught in the rain. and ppl would stop laughing. HEh.

an ipod classic. To replace my ancient, spoilt ipod mini.

a Digi camera. Sony one would be good. hoho. to cover my ka cheng.

a handphone that actually belongs to me. So i can return dajie his Handphone.

Nintendo DS, Wii or XBOX. okay. i dont really know how to play these things. but seems fun to own one. haha

a watch. i have no classy looking watch.

wallet. havent found a nice one that i like. have been using my mum's. HEH

LV bag/wallet. haha. eh i dont need it actually.

A diamond ring/necklace. haha. kidding i dont need this too.

bla bla..

okay whatever i'm too bored now...

seems like i'm some really covetous, materialistic girl right haha i'm not okay. i just thought of it on the spot. or maybe just in case any kind soul wants to bless me. haha
and its on my wish list cos 1. everything seems unaffordable. 2. some almost unrealistic. :)

Actually i dont need any of these. its just some very nice to have.. heh. Okay but for some, i really need/want it. oh wells. i'll keep saving! haha

and i have no idea where i'm getting at already. heh.

anyways better 2008. better 2008.

ah ah ah ah staying alive

2007-12-26T01:39:00.000+08:00

Okay. major missing in action..

so this was all that took place....

14 - 18th dec. was AUDACIOUS youth camp.

Finally its over cos i was just about to pull out all my hair and buy a wig. haha

The rain was a headache, the lack of sleep was so tortourous, all that screaming made all of us sound like men, and the lack of pails forced me to bath in cold water using only a cut out quarter of a 1.5 mineral bottle.

But i'm glad it all went well. and hopefully the campers did actually have fun. :)

camp photos up next time...

but here are some pre-camp-programmes comm photos.

Once again, just something visual..apart from seeing a wall of text.
. SO Our 3rd logistic trip.

Power Saver....

We bought THAT many things (to sabo 350 campers) for just a little over a $100.

well, if only we had more budget.. ha ha ha.

Yay. thats us at giant and at dom's place.

and we fell in love with the inflatable pool. :) :)

i wish i had something like that when i was younger. haha

*psst. i found out that i had one special ability. and that is blowing up inflatable pools! haha
.

The very next day, i rushed off to work, then to jul's place, prepare prepare prepare, and we all slept at 4+, woke up at 6 the next.. and for the next few days.. heh. tell me about it.

my eyes has been on a major eye bag treatment ever since. :D
.

But This year's camp comm is way too cool to be in. haha. kidding! but really, i thought it was the best one so far.

and there's no better department to be in other than programmes!

Well, so much for being tired after camp... cos some of us met for dinner at the over priced Glutton's Bay, had Desserts at Mr bean cafe (i like it there) and then caught a midnight movie on the same day camp ended.

+ i had work the following day.

!!!

i almost died. literally. funny why we like to torture ourselves haha.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OH but Hurray! cos last friday was my last day at work!! haha!

and it felt really really good. :)

so whats next? heh i have no idea actually.

4 options:

1. Take up a job at temasek poly as an event planner bla bla.

- Low pay. but i think i'll really like it there.

2. take up a job at my cousin's friend's design company.

- he's willing to pay me well and train me in marketing.

3. Take up the bank job.

- the pay is really really really really good and for my future. but i'll totally forsake my freedom, escalate my stress level AND i'll suffer under my cousin, which is totally UGH.

4. Stay home, jiak jua and wait for ad hac even jobs.

- my favourite idea. :) :)

i thought about it..

the bank sound too attractive.. and its like the "dream" job of many. but after talking to my cousin, i decided that... NAH!!!

and i guess its 80% chance that i'll be working in the design firm... Somehow it seems like i'm always working under the marketing department.. heh Strange.. maybe its the way to go for me?

i dont know..

i still have 3 mths to decide before i have to make up my mind and go ahead with my uni appplication for next year.

marketing or finance..we'll see. :)

...

okay what else on friday..

Oh i met the cell for dinner, then Tushan came and picked me up to meet some of the other BIT dudes at mind's cafe for some board games.. We played taboo. and dumb friend thought Macara was Madegasca. ???

haha.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fa la la la la la la la la.

YAY. Christmas

Saturday:

- Dajiet and i went shopping in town...

Okay, we werent really shopping together cos half the time i ran off to see my own things and he went off to buy his own stuff..and we met up again after that. haha

Seriously. where do you find a Girlfriend who hates dragging her BF along to malls and prefers shopping alone! haha KIDDING. no serious, I'm kidding :)
.

- Oh then in the evening Dajiet joined my family for Christmas for the first time this year.

We ate ate ate, played Bingo together and the two of us WON!..(even my grandma played. haha), then we had a little gift exchange.. and Dajie got Coasters!! haha so dumb. okay. i won an IRON. equally dumb. haha.

Somehow, everyone cant seem to get his name rightt. They dont call him Dajie cos everyone calls my aunt Da JIE (as in big sister) which sounds almost e same.. So my Aunt changed his name from Jeremiah to Jeremy to Jerry. haha.

But its nice really. Having him over with my family. (:

- Thenn Dajiet Dopped my parents and i at bedok cos he had to meet his friends. and Tushan came to pick me up AGAIN to meet jun wen and mudd for a midnight movie.

after that, we went for our usual very late night teh ping and Prata Supper.

By the time i got home it was like 6 am already. really JIU WO.

Monday:

Christmas Lunch at Pst Dan's place.

Lots of food, laughter anddd... more food.

Then fabian, pris. ttl and i met rudy and Dajiet for another round of Makan-ing session at Botak jones. heh

Tuesday:

- Christmas Lunch at Dajiet's aunt's.

okay. same thing. FOOD FOOD FOOD.

and it didnt feel that awkward cos its my 2nd time there and everyone still rmbs me from last last's year christmas.

i like the feeling of being part of each other's family. its really nice :)
.

- oh.. then i pestered Dajiet to go eat fondue with me after we sent his mum home...so we headed down to this choclate bar at esplanade where i insisted on ordering a large fondue set. yummy. and after that we stopped by to watch some hand bell performance, had our wishes written on this Big white Ball.. (i wrote"i want to be a tai tai" haha!!!!) and lastly headed home cos my dear friend needs to serve the nation by driving some tank. HEH!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay. so thats all for Christmas this year.

SUPER BORING. no christmas mood at all. heh at least to me la.

i spent my christmas scrubbing toilet floors, mopping the rooms, washing clothes, and tidying up the room. yup.. itss THATTT boring.

and nope, no presents this yr.. other than ONE from Dajiet's mummy and some cards. Quite paiseh that i didnt get her anything. but oh wells. he did win some coasterss to bring back home.

but aiyahh..

boring birthday, boring christmas...boring 2007. BOO.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I NEED A CAMERA. LIKE NOW. :(

yay yay.

2007-12-12T03:06:00.000+08:00

Okay. this is like a long overdued post but oh wells. :)

Bintan was a getaway really.

We went on a budget trip. so no fancy resorts, swimming pool etc.. Just a HUT. lizard infested that is and with the sea ALMOST right at our doorstep.

We banana boated and capsized into the sea cos dear jul didnt move her body enough! haha then i got paranoid cos i thought i was going to die in the middle of no where.
We Kayaked - after which i puked cos i was sea sick haha such a loser.
We Boogie boarded - and that was the best part. :) its almost like surfing. and its really fun.

We got ourselves a free Tann. - The sun was HOT HOT HOT! that explains why i look like a Malay/Indian/Indonesian/Filipino/Thai/village girl. Burgers.

We ate at a kelong - basically zhi cha. but we did order scallops :)

We took a buggy ride. - someone offered us a free ride back to the Hut.

We got a free pizza - Cos the didnt get us our express service. But than again, we ate pizza every other day.

We got our nails done - my first manicure ever in my entire life. but didnt turn out that good. Jul's was worst.

We went for a massage - I love massages. other than the fact that we have wear paper undies. heh.

all in all, it was a great holiday and it was good fun.

okay. yak less and more pictures.
no makeup too. so its pale pale pale! :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 1.

our humble abode.

.

101 attempts to take a jumping shot. heh. okay not that many :)
.

Kelong dinner. too spicy!

Buggy!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 2.

my sand toilet bowl. :)
.

.

Pasar oleh oleh. - man made village.
massage, manicure. heh

oh and i cancelled myself out cos the fats were spilling.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

:) :)

alright. BAY BAY!

(thats how my korean friend spells BYE BYE) haha.

and i stepped on a banana skin

2007-12-11T16:33:00.000+08:00

I need a break from all that clutter on my table..

UGH.

never ending work.irritating people.

annyeonghaseyo!!

2007-12-07T20:53:00.000+08:00

and so it was to Korea!
Tour group was great. Friendships were built. Weather was awesome. Snow was Pretty. Skiing was fun. ..
Really One of my Best Holidays. or rather its the best i've had so far. :)
I felt pretty cheated cos its supposed to be an 8Day tour. But the whole flight there kinda ate up Day 1. So when we finally arrived, it was like Day 2 already. Burgers.
and The saddest was that my mum didnt bring enough money!! Its like whenever we wanted to buy or eat sth, we have to check our wallets to see if its still within our budgets. Boo.
i was quite disappointed. But oh wells! I'm still happy nonetheless.
Besides, there nothing to buy anyways (all winter stuff) and everything is so ex. So yes.. Sorry ppl, no souvenirs! if you dont mind, Kimchi/seaweed anyone?? haha
.
and Finally i got my lazy fingers to start blogging about it. heh.
its super Image heavy. So bare with it. :)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We sat Korean Air. and I thought it was like SQ kind. but BOO! its like errm.. United airlines, Silkair kind. and So for 6hours.. i drank juice, slept and ate peanuts. boring! haha. but i was too excited to do some other stuff anyways. :)
.
Day 2.
Our first stop was to this traditional Village where all the rich dudes of the past used to stay. Really pretty place...But i was way too amused with all that mist that is coming out of my mouth haha such a mountain tortoise really.

Look! persimmon tree! and yes its real!

Our First Meal: Ginseng Chicken.
Super filling. Got rice, noodle, and one whole chicken each. why are the Koreans still so slim. HEH!

.
Next thing we knew, we're on a 1 hour domestic flight towards Jeju island.

1st stop was to the Seaside. There you find people selling/cooking abalones, squids, shell fish etc.
and to eat there, you'll have to climb through the rocks and stuff.. but apparently my mum and I gave up. haha. so we took pictures from up the "hill".

.
Then it was to this strange place called the Mystery Road.
Basically it's a road that objects seem to roll up, rather than down. yup. Cars, bottles, bicycles roll up the hill of their own accord.
Really strange when you see how an object as big as a Bus defy the law of physics. Spooky! haha
Dinner.
.
.

Day 3.
Early morning and it was to another village to visit the earth/fertility God. Some weird Stone it is.
Apparently, Jeju is kinda dominated by females, so women go to this weird looking piece of rock to rub its nose, touch their own tummies and believing that it will give them baby boy. heh.
and I wont say why it looks weird.. haha well, Go figure!

.
Then we went to this mountain area.
Okay, i dont really know where i visited cos i cant understand the tour guide's chinese. So all i know is this mountain, that village.. bla bla. haha oh wells

I went up the mountain all by myself cos my mum was too tired to climb. (yay. clap clap! i can still conquer mountains! ) But its really scary when you're nearing the top. The steps are too narrow, and there's like way too many people. i was so worried someone might just knock me off the steps! haha

.
We had Black Pig for lunch. The best Meal i've had there.
And we wrapped meat and rice into cabbage leaves. So korean. :)

.
Yay! then it was orange plucking. its like pluck and eat on the spot kind. and The best part is that the weather is so cold, it kinda makes the oranges taste so refrigerated and refreshing. mmm

So yes.. because we paid like 5000won to go in, my mum had to steal some back. haha. Super cute la.

.
Then it was to this ____? i have no idea where. haha
Its just somewhere really really really cold cos the wind was coming from all direction.

.
Then it was to another village. This is where they film the Big Long Gold. (da chang Jin)
The lady who brought us around was hilarious! couldnt stop laughing at her. haha
But somehow all that laughing manage to lure everyone to buy at least one Jar of honey, ling zhi. Heh. waste money.!

Oh. and this is black pig. Ugly, but the meat is good. haha

.
Last stop: To Jeju Bear museum!
Does this look familiar?

Its the Bear from Princess Hours!! haha okay whatever. but most importantly, i think I'm standing where Shin Goon might have stood before! haha okay whatever again. BUT..
Awwwwww...

Oops. haha okok. enough already. (he's so charming la)
Right..and so it was to the museum.. they have the World's smallest, biggest, most expensive (the LV bear) most interesting bears all on display.
They even have a display of the last supper. haha
OH OH! and i bought one bear for myself too. Its overpriced, but i like it. It shall be my new smelly baby. haha :D

.
Finally Dinner. Steamboat.

.
Day 4
We got up really early and caught the morning plane ride back to seoul. and then headed down to EVERLAND Where we spent an entire day there.
Everland is like the DisneyLand of Korea. actually i think its better than HK's DisneyLand. More magical looking, + got more things to play and to see.. But it would be better if i went with friends cos i had to sit the rides myself! hah

We had a safari tour inside Everland and we saw really cute Bears. They actually do what ever the safari bus driver tells them to do. Almost like Dogs already. haha
oh and guess what else we saw...

heh. they're not lions. okay, at least they are half lion.
Their dad is a tiger and mum a lion.
Seriously. Humans are sick.
.
oO? Dinner again. yup you guessed it. Its steamboat.

.
Meet Rayna.
She like the cutest little girl around that is forever calling out for me everywhere i go and making me eat her "not so appetizing looing sushi" for dinner.
only 3 years old but she's really loud, smart and sensible. I hope my daughter is like that too haha.

She actually made me take these pictures of her making funny faces. haha so cute.
ANYWAYS.

At night we went to the local ski shop, rented ski stuffs and spent the night at yongpyong Ski resort.
.
Day 5
This is my favourite day cos we went skiing! haha

okay, of course i didnt attempt to go up that steep steep slope. i mean, of course i would have if they allowed me to. haha (yeah right)
Skiing is not as easy as it seems. you can barely walk in those ski shoes. haha and the skis are really heavy and the ice is really slippery. heh. But i think i was not bad for a first timer haha. zhey.

The jacket makes me look like some fake Team Singapore representative or sth. haha.

hahhaa. my mum is fake skiing. super funny la. she didnt skii but she said that she has to take at least a picture looking as if she's skiing. zzzz

Then we had a snow fight! we were putting ice into each other's jacket and runing around with those heavy boots haha

I felt like an oversized/overaged kid there. but who cares. it was fun anyways. haha.
.

Oh and this is the best part.

Then we took a cable car up to the mountain top where they filmed the show Winter Sonata.

Oh my gosh.. i fell in love with that place can... ugh!!! now it inspires me to go watch Winter Sonata. haha (anyone got DVD to lend?)

Its so beautiful it makes you emo.

okay i know. doesnt make any sense. haha its like everything is perfect, only with the wrong company! haha but oh wells! i will go back there again. :)
.
Oh and here is Rayna again at lunch. haha

THEN, it was to the national park. Surrounded by mountains and all..

There they brought us to visit a HUGE buddha stone.

Why must every tour bring us to see buddha. haha zzz
but i was glad cos i think 3/4 the tour group were christians. so no one really paid attention to it. haha

Off to dinner.

YESS. STEAMBOAT AGAIN.

Then it was back to our cosy hotel.

The concept is really intresting. Almost like a house by itself already. :)

After that, everyone got changed and went for a swim at the "outdoor and indoor swimming complex".

haha so cool to be swimming in winter.

The actual itinery was for us to go in to the hot spring. but everyone has to go in naked! (of course men and women seperately la ) my goodness! so, being typical Singaporeans we are, everyone gave it a miss. haha

But still, you find naked people walking around the toilet as if they are the only ones around.

What's worst was that there was a group of kids on an excursion or sth like that.. So when its time to bathe, The kids (boys AND girls, aged about 3+) and their teachers, were all NAKED running around the toilet. !!!
Major culture shock man. haha

OH YA. and a man walked into the woman's changing room by accident. haha. jiu wo.
.

Day 6.
and its Snowing!!

All of us were like mountain turtles. but its just sooooo pretty la. I cant believe i actually experienced it snowing.

AH!

.
Lunch.
funny. they made everyone wear aprons. haha :D

And instead of cabbage, we had mint leaves! haha oh thats mummy btw.

Then we made our way to this forest looking place. Which happens to be another filming site of winter sonata.

another romantic place. :)

It was really funny over there cos i made my mum snap a picture of me while i threw the leaves up into the air (to give the authum leaves falling look) haha. and it wasnt long before the whole tour group started taking pictures like that too. So when one family is having their picture taken, the other families stood at the side with a bunch of leaves. And at the count of three, every one threw it into the air. haha

This is our photographer. Peter. haha I forgot his Korean name.
Anyways..He's already 29, but really gentlemanly and charming. haha Not like other Korean guys i assume. (3/4 of korean guys are super super MCP! as in seriously.) :)

He just came out from Korean NS can.. Jiu wo. So old. their NS is like 3 years. So Singaporeans, DONT COMPLAIN. ours is only 1 yr 10 mths! haha

Oh and I was telling my mum, if i didnt have a boyfriend, and a guy 9 years older come asking me out.. i might consider! as in when you're 20, a guy who's 29 doesnt seem that old? haha but if i'm 11 and his 20 then thats wierd la. But yeah. come to think of it. Age really doesnt matter much to me. but a gap of 10 years might be the max la haha.

anyhows. Not applicable to me anymore haha.

Then it was to Kim Chi School! :)

We learnt how to make their national dish and wore their traditional costume haha.

Everyone looked really dumb. but all for rememberance sake... haha

So thats the female, male and kids costume. haha. actually quite nice what. :D
.

Then we caught JUMP. a comic martial Arts performance.

THey are really really gooooood man.. haha Now this inspires me to learn some kong fu. haha

but they are really good la.

Thats us with the some of the cast.

The guy on the rigght in that tank, is really really super funny haha.

That night's hotel felt like you know Ocean 13 kinda hotel/casino haha. really grand and nice.

It was at night and the lighting wasnt good. so too bad. cant see how it looks like. haha

Day 7
This is the most Bo liao day. Cos they brought us to all the Ginseng, cosmetic stalls and stuff. heh.

Then it was shopping at myundong!.
They're well known for their imitation goods. haha. One Imitaiton LV bag can cost up to SGD$100. siao. i was so tempted to buy. but sadly.. no money! haha.

anyways. their "bugis street-like" shopping area are priced almost like our departmental store can. tsk tsk ! its like Bugis street prices in korea is almost non existant. haha. so yeah. only can see cannot buy.

oh ya. Eh that LV behind me is the real one. haha.
look! ppl doing Street evangelism. haha so cool.

Bottom right: 3 storey high Krispe Kreme!

apparently all their donut stores are all 3 storey cafes la :)

Oh ya..we were suppose to leave the shopping district by 630pm. but 3 old ladies from our tour group got lost! aiyo haha. everyone was quite nervous. so we dispatched ppl out to find them. and by time we found them, it was already almost 8pm. haha boooo so we were late for our tour to Lotte World which closes at like 1030pm.

LOTTE WORLD.

I wish i had more time there tho. haha it super nice. even better than everland. its like indoor and outdoor themepark. Really really nice.

Picture below: i was trying to take a picture through a water fall. and somehow it turned out like this. haha :)

anyways, Lotte world was super fun. my mum and i tagged along the Wong family. so we sat all the rides together etc. haha

then Ivan and i went for the rollercoster but He came out with his hair all standing and he was laughing like he was crying. haha super funny.

Then it was to our last hotel for the trip.

heh. 8Days and we changed 6 different hotels. jiu wo.

Day 8

I was seriously the moodiest person that day. i didnt want to go home!!

I wish i could stay there forever! haha okay maybe not forever, but a longer break would be good.

and it wasnt so much about staying in Korea. I just needed to be away longer.

but oh wells, back to reality!

Bottom left: Peter and I. :)

Bottom Right: Driver and I - he freaks me out like anything can. haha everyday he grabs me, tells me i'm sexy, and calls me mummy. ????? heh. I didnt ask to take a picture with him actually. all my mum's fault haha. I said i wanted to take a picture with peter, she turned around, saw the driver and thought the driver was peter so she asked him to take a picture with me instead. and he got so excited and grabbed my hands..AHH! that explains the expression. haha

Bye bye Korea. :(

Tour Guide, and Tour Leader. :) + my ticket home.. BOOO

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in SG.

Guess what happen! haha Dajie came to pick us up and we met with an accident. haha

or rather a newbie driver buang us la. silly lady. oh wells. they paid for damages so all is well.

Oh and turns out to be that indian lady is Dajie's neighbour! haha

Okay good night world.

This is like an never ending post. I'm way too lazy to type properly. so maybe some parts might not make any sense! haha

2007-11-25T11:02:00.000+08:00

beneath the milky twilight

2007-11-24T11:55:00.000+08:00

Okay. so finally i got to meet DJ.

And it always seems like the time we spent together is so short. Oh wait a min.. its not that it seems so short.. IT IS SHORT.

its like oh hello! and next min, its bye bye,... time to book in already.

Phone calls are also history.

Burgers.

I had programs meeting at tamp with jul and meng after work. Our brains became juice after awhile. and poor DJ was waiting for me to have dinner...

So anyways, DJ actually made dinner reservations at this really nice Garden-like restaurant at Tanglin w/o me knowing.. (i actually have no idea what that place is called.) Really really nice place, just a little bit more $$$$$ and inaccessible thats all. Food is mediocre. But the ambiance makes up for everything.

Its like outdoor and you eat under the moonlight and some woman was singing jazz that kind.

I tried to take some pictures but its either too dark or too bright. Doesnt do any justice to that place at all.

After dinner, we talked, and then headed down to swenson's at town for desserts. (obviously, it was my idea cos i was longing for fondue/ice-cream). haha

rightt..So much for desserts.. Cos we ended up having supper! and its not even an hour after dinner yet. oh save me.

anyways the seafood spaghetti is really nice. but we were kinda like choking on pepper. :)

So that was all we did.
eat, yak, eat, yak.

but well spent.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh Here's sth interesting.

Guess which part of DJ's Body does this belong to..

Okay, its his arm! somewhere around the elbow.

HAHA!

i cant imagine myself being so hairy. :D

(eh i'm not that psychotic to take his hair la okay. it was a random shot.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bye bye.

very very extraordinary.

2007-11-23T00:07:00.000+08:00

This how my room looks like ever since i... hmm was too lazy to keep it neat?

barely even have space to sleep on a queen sized bed....

and that is how my table looks like ever since Sarah left the company.

:(
At least time seems to pass alot faster when work is piling! :)

Seriously, i just cant stand MEAN ppl at work. I guess its all part and parcel of the whole package. But it was the last straw when this irritating woman started raising her voice at me today. It wasnt the first time..so i got super pissed and i scolded her. in a tactful way of course. haha. BOO!

.
Oh and Nam finally passed me his camera so OBVIOUSLY i went snapping away..

and almost at every random thing.

So.. Say hello to this valley that i live in. Practically NO reception. or maybe M1 is just lousy.
actually i kinda like this place. Other than the fact that its so Cave-like and mosquito infested. Its still really nice.

and that swing is where i chill.stone.usetohangmyclothes. etc etc...
heh. okay..... Enough about the valley already.

talking nonsense cos i'm all moody. UGH!
.

Results, Performance...why does it feel so much like an organisation?
Perception.. heh I dont think anyone knows where i'm coming from and my side of the story. so go ahead, make your own assumptions :(

oh wells. i guess its really all about RESULTS.

I checked out the meaning of my name like many years back. And here's what i found:
Lavonne.

Inherent meaning: Warm and cheerful.

Spiritual meaning: Fruitful.

Fruitful.. oh really. i wonder how true is that.
.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANYWAYs. BINTAN. still waiting for Meng to send pictures. :D

i look really Minah now. like some super black and dirty looking village girl.
.
Tuesday. Jul and i was suppose to go for Facial. But too bad. Sunburn. so we had it rescheduled.
I thought i was late. so i took a cab home to have dinner and another cab down to Far east to meet jul. Mannn, that hole in my pocket really hurts!
Then we set out on an adventure to look for desserts. I was craving for Fondue. (still craving).. so we walked here there and everywhere, crossed the road when the red man was up and found ourselves caught in the middle of a road junction. Finally sat down at Crystal Jade and then embarrassed ourselves by leaving the place without ordering anything. (jul even drank their tea!) And FINALLY we settled down at the BIG O at wheelock's place for some calamari and cakes.
Really SINFUL cakes. but realllyyy nice.

we had like an all chocolate cake (umm) and a chocolate durian cake (one of their must trys)
i'll be back for more.! :)

Then jul came over my house for a sleepover.

As usual, it was those last min :"eh, come my house stay la!",
"oh ya ah.. okok..(and then calls mum)"
:)

???
Chit chatted, chit chatted. Slpt without bathing (gross i know) and off to work the next day. BOO!
.
Guess what. i saw jul almost every other day. oh wait. in fact, i did meet her EVERYDAY ever since LAST FRIDAY.

intensive man. haha
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today. Programs meeting. at Jason's place.
Teppanyaki dinner..lots of laughter..

and key phrase by matthew: " WE MUST HONOUR THEM"

hahaha. okay. inside joke.

So Camp is coming! I'm excited. and i hope you are tooo..
If you're going that is.

Jiu wo. its like the end of the year. :/ super fast.
.

Oh wells. Okay. Goodnight world.

another long long day tmr.

I hope i get to meet DJ too.

seriously dont know how should i feel.

useful or dumped?
Maybe i should psycho myself. orrrr be like Shamgar-he did what he can, with what he had.
i guess i only have one choice.

2007-11-19T23:51:00.000+08:00

Meet Meyer.
He's like the cutest thing ever.

<3

looking back over my shoulder

2007-11-14T23:27:00.000+08:00

Major changes in the Zone here and there.

Honestly, i dont really like change...okay who really does anyways.

but oh wells, its worth a try and i think it'll work out just fine.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OH yes! Remember Japan? i knew my mum wouldnt be able to afford sponsoring my trip allowances anymore cos of certain financial issues and i wouldnt earn enough anyways.. so i kinda gave up the idea..

but NOW its confirmed! and the flight is booked! (8th - 15th Feb 08.)

hurray Hurray HURRAY!!!

My aunt called last sat and she said that they will be sponsoring my entire trip as part of my advance 21st birthday present! (actual reason is because they needed someone to take care of my grandma haha)

AH! :D

Sadly i'll be going to the southern part of Japan. so no Disneyland, no Harajuku, no Tokyo.. and i still have to save up for the spending allowance but its good enough! and besides we can take a bullet train over if there's time.

I can't wait seriously. Japan JAPAN!! like finally.

And i'm really excited about Bintan this friday!

I guess i'm pretty fortunate. Its like i waited for YEARS..and i suddenly get to go so many places.

like what i always tell myself....Good things come to those who wait! haha

Well, i'm a little older now, so i kinda work to pay for my own trips. and i dont have to end up waiting SOOO long also. + somewhere, somehow, someone will come along to help ease off those "Travel pains".

so yay! :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This blog is getting exceedingly boring to look at.

so here's something visual.

i promise more pictures next time.

so camera camera! :)

(anymore advance 21st birthday presents? haha)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways yeah.

i bought my parents dinner at Kuishinbo yesterday. + my other aunty who called and tagged along. haha good thing she's considered senior citizen so we manage to slash 10% off her meal.(she didnt even realise that she's in senior citizen category hahaha)

**anyways moral of the story is to always ask the cashier if they have any current promotions before you make any payments. They never ever tell unless you ask. hahaa.

Its quite funny actually.

you know kuishinbo got this irritating announcement thingy that goes "dom dom dom kuishinbo" haha. thats when the chef brings out something special thats not available on the buffet spread and so when you hear that dumb announcement you can go grab a plate of that something.

and yes.. typical Singaporeans.. everyone actually RUNS to get it? my aunt simply drops her chopsticks and dashes out. its Very funny when you see her do that. haha and once the announcement comes on, everyone starts to "OOOOOh" and because we're all conscious about that reaction, everyone starts to laugh. haha.

anyways. i like kuishinbo.. EAT ALL YOU CAN is what i like. :)

burning a huge hole in my pocket is what i dont like :)

and i'm glad i made my them happy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speaking of Typical Singaporeans. haiiii... how should i say this.. but In Hokkien its something like: BO WAY KONG!

i was working at my company's stocklot sale.. so we get alot of aunties, uncles, employees, who comes to buy super-cheap-rejected-branded-goods.

and i tell youuu.... There's this super irritating woman. (okay she's an employee of the company) who is super super Cheapskate. its like the clothes are already Dirt cheap. 3 - 8 bucks only. and staff still gets extra an 30% off....and she still wants this discount that discount, this free that free... zzzzz. and today she came up to us again saying.."for those you all cannot sell, dont throw k, give me all" jiu wo. haha

why are some ppl like that? tsk tsk tsk.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

oh oh! i bought DJ dinner at new york new york on sat too. (he's always the one paying most of the time. so i'll do whatever thats in my capacity haha)

anyways. pretty nice place. Service is wonderful. and the food is not bad.

we ordered some finger food and shared this HUGE burger.

the description said: Portion for 4 but we dare you to eat it yourself.

So okay.. doesnt sound so un-accomplishable... But when the burger camee.. JIU WO. its HUGE. and HUGE is an understatement. its like 4 Very Fat Big Macs with an extra thick patty all together..haha No wonder they moved us to a bigger table.

so yeah we didnt finish it..and we didnt even bother to dabao.

Apparently some guy actually ate that whole thing. Whoever you are, i kowtow to you. haha

anyways, apart from all the food and stuff, i think we had a good time. Just talking, sharing laughing, being part of each other's lives.

You really learn to appreciate each other's company more when you dont get to see each other that often.

Every minute is more precious, more treasured.

I'm not being Mushy OKAY. haha.

watched Stardust. Its nice. Those kind that i dont mind watching again.

i think Michelle Pfeiffer is very Hot for someone her age. (how old is she anyways. haha)

We watched Game Plan on weds too. we thought it not too bad leh. (prissy.. too kua zhang to walk out la! haha) its not like fantastically hilarious la. but still can laugh.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My colleagues are super On. They always have outings.

So it was to ECP on last Thursday. quite entertaining.

Oh but sadly everyone is leaving. including me. :D haha

you know. i actually considered staying?

its like you already know quite alot of people from all levels, how the things run and stuff... and i thought i was just getting acquainted with everything.

butttt ohwells, got to move on to greener pastures! haha

was talking to Jason yesterday. and he was telling me about his flight plans here and there.

Mostly business trips.

MANNN.. i wanna work somewhere which allows me to go on business trips too.

i guess that will only happen if i really work my way up up up up up up there OR. my dad owns the company.

I want travelling to be part of my job scope.

air stewardess maybe? HAA TOO BAD. i'm too short, plumb and the face cui cui la. haha

Oh wells. who knows, maybe ii'll be some manager or sth. haha.

YES YES YES! it shall be!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GOOD NIGHT WORLD.

Having pictures would have done a better job.

I need you so much closer

2007-11-09T23:29:00.000+08:00

i'm tired. and hungry.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This road that I'm taking twists and turns
My life my chance turning dreams into reality.
Down this path faced with so many things
Sometimes I feel like giving up and turn away

Can't seem to go on. And I've been thru' this before.
Now where am I? Where do I stand? A little lost here.
But I'll remember. All those times you've bought me thru'.
I'd be a fool to give up cos' the goal is near

I'll move on I'll go on. Lord I will take your hand.
And you will guide me along. Survive thru' this storm.
So I say, come what may. I'll hold on to my hope.
Yes, I will walk down this road.
And my passion drive will lead me on

Here I am Once again caught in the rain.
Looking back I've come so far And I want to carry on
Take a step a little time It's alright.
Even thru' this rain, I want to smile again

Don't hold back now. And i've been thru' this before.
Now where am I? Where do I stand? A little lost here.
But I'll remember. All those times you've bought me thru'.
I can feel the sun shining down on me

Here I am, Here I am. Lord I will take your hand.
And you will guide me along. Survive thru' this storm.
So I say, come what may. I'll hold on to my hope.
Yes, I will walk down this road. And my passion drive will lead me on.

-Olivia Ong

2007-11-04T23:19:00.000+08:00

ever feel like running away to someplace else and start all over. ?

So tired of this weather.

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Come on, Press on, Move on!

why do I have to go and make things so complicated?

Oh Pls. Take this wheel.

shoo fly dont bother me.

2007-11-03T01:36:00.000+08:00

The Worst thing that you can ever EVER do, is to wear a Little Miss T-shirt out to town.

Maybe somewhere like Bugis Street.

and Its even dumber when you and your friends decide to wear it out on the same day. my goodness.

What is wrong with these ppl nowadays. I'd rather look different and stand out from the crowd than to wear the same clothes out pls.

okay. little miss t-shirts are cute. but the nearby Kopitiam will be the furthest i'll go. Or maybe 3 years down the road when no one else wears it out in public anymore.

even tapered jeans and cardigans. ????? only reason why i'm still wearing it cos its comfy and i have nth else to wear seriously.

For now, it will be dress dress dress and more dresses for me!

--------------------------

Okay random post. was waiting for the water to boil so that i can eat my noodles.

its done! so goodbye.

and your point is?

2007-10-30T23:50:00.000+08:00

Enough with your "pls get rid of the dog" naggings EVERYDAY already. Ugh.

Seriously. How can anyone not get sick of repeating themselves daily.

Give me a break.
.

i love you but plss Help me respect you.

I grew up not knowing if i could.

doesnt matter if you have no job no money. i just need someone i can model after.
owells.

------------------------------

Good news.

Pay rise starting this monday. $$$ :)

Even better pay if i get THAT other job. $$$$ :)

Its not easy supporting myself.. not sure how i can survive without mum's support here and there.

and i'm not sure how SHE survives with no one to support her.

------------------------------

DJ got sent home cos of fever and i took a half day off in the morning to be with him.

He made lunch instead cos i was too lazy. aww... just that we only had one dish and a pot of rock hard rice! haha.

K la. not his fault. it's the rice cooker. :P

DJ: DONT KILL ME <3

make me pretty.

2007-10-28T21:58:00.000+08:00

- Just a sudden consideration whether i should cut my hair short.

(violent objections by Dajiet as usual cos he claims that he prefer long hair. o.O )

Somehow it always turns out really horrible on me and i've always wanted long wavy hair instead. Buttt not now then when!! besides i still have an entire lifetime to grow it back.

soo.... ???

.
- My mum is overly paranoid about going overseas.
She already has her luaggage packed. or rather she packs it over and over again everyday. is that kiasu or what?
she bought this pants at $5 and she repeated it like 4 times. ???
.
- and Why do we have to pay so much just to get our passport renewed? its not like the pages are made of gold. $70 for that little red book? jiu wo.
.
- Hate NS. stole my best friend heh. They should make it like a 9 - 5 job. :)

i'll come driving, as fast as the wheels can turn

2007-10-26T00:39:00.000+08:00

Well. a few things to look forward to in the month of Nov-Dec.

8th Nov: Deepavali! = Public Holiday! yay.

~~19th - 21st Nov~~ 16 - 18Nov: BINTAN with jul!. yay.

25th Nov- 2nd Dec: KOREA with Mum! yay.

14th - 18th Dec: Audacious! youth camp. yay.

21st Dec: I think its the day i QUIT my job and move on to a better one. yay!.

Seems like i dont have to work huh. haha

and yes i'm going Korea! finally.

so My mum kept her promise after all. (or rather after 10 years to be exact haha)

lets hope it snows and i get to go skiing. woo hoo.

OH and guess what!!! i thinkkkkk (think only) i'm going to JAPAN with my relatives in FEB NEXT YEAR!

My relatives will be going for sure but i can only go if i save up enough money to pay for my own airfare and accommodation. booooo. But Mum said that she'll sponsor some shopping allowance if i'm going. awww.! haha but i BETTER save up more cos i know she wont give much.

did i mention that she gave me $400 sgd (which is equivalent to ONLY $150 pounds then) when i went on a 2.5 weeks trip to England! tsk tsk. how to survive! haha. and she gave me only $400sgd (which i have yet to pay her back) when i went to HongKong on a Free and Easy Trip!? Tell meee..How to survive!! haha

But oh wells.. like i always say, we're not rich but my mum will always try to provide me with what she can afford. So yeah, its fine with me.. I'll just cross my fingers i get to go Japan FOR REAL.

+ I"M COMING TO LOOK FOR YOU IN SWITZERLAND JUL! haha

I'm going travel crazy!! Everything started with i went to Taiwan last Oct. then it was HK, Myanmar, then Tioman... ahh! i keep wanting to go more places!

Ugh. its super addictive.

and its a very expensive addiction too.

Now i'm just wondering where all the money will drop from to sustain my addiction. Heh. The sky hopefully? :)

i guess the money will come once i land myself in the new job. (but everything is not confirmed cos i havent even sent my resume to my cousin. HEH.)

For now, i'll always be reminding myself.. TRAVEL ONLY WHEN I HAVE THE MONEY!!

never go on debts seriously.

Its like a load off my chest when i finally paid off my trip to Hong Kong. heh. took me so long la.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OH YAAA!! travelling with my mum means ONE THING.

MY CAMERA!

i need to get it ASAP. cannot cover KA-CHENG already.

die die must buy before the 25 of dec. heh. die la die la.

money money. No money!

If no camera, my mum will probably be so pissed she'll cancel off the flight. I'm serious. haha it just might happen.

This time, MONEY pls fall from the sky!

I now pronounce you as husband and wife

2007-10-23T21:16:00.000+08:00

So. here's some picture from the Wei-ding day.

Heh. apparently we took alot of pictures but this is all i have now cos the rest is all in the "official" photographer's camera. haha so i doubt we'll ever get it.
so i have no pictures of us at Chris's place. Mannnnnnn

Meet the Hippiest/most stylo Groom ever.

Now, who says that the Grooms always looks the same and wears the same old boring suit huh.
.

SO hard to get DJ to take a picture. Finally got him to stand there, take a picture and i end up looking so constipated. TSK TSK.

I think Jul and i look like we're in some award ceremony. haha.

Looks familiar? haha

at least we look slightly better now.

okay or rather Jul is way prettier, prissy is more feminine, sabby errm more motherly? haha and me, heh. i look the same.

Someone PLSS give me another look/hairstyle. heh chipolata! TSK TSK!

-----------------------------------
.

Then it was time for the wedding dinner at tung lok.

yes. after much consideration, i decided to wear my old old cheong sum.

and Good thing i can still shuff my fats in it. :)

Haha. cannot stand the two of them.
.

Jan came over my house to stay the night before and we spent the whole night squeezing lemons and blending bitter gourd for the Groom's Brothers to drink. Eww. then we had to wake up super early to get change. heh so by the time its at night, all the radiance was gone! or rather we didnt have any to begin with. haha super zombified already.

So, here's the Picture taken at Christine's wedding.
.

and this was taken at delia's wedding.

HAHA. sabby's dress. :P

SO GLAD we look different. ewwww to the past!..

JIU WO.

like the cheong sum is my uniform or sth. heh
.

Most Scandalous picture of the year.

haha kidding

So happen it turned out like that cos dajie and i was standing at both ends.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

aftermath

2007-10-21T23:26:00.000+08:00

Interesting how weddings can be so draining even tho we are not the ppl getting married. haha

i'm glad Chris made me one of her jie meis. (i think this will be the ONLY time i get to be a jie mei.) haha but yeah, you get to see and be part of the behind the scenes effort in "the making of the perfect wedding".

and i wonder how would it be like during my own wedding. heh

i'll just cross my fingers that i dont fall down.

haha i'm starting to worry cos i fell down at chris's wedding! haha i was running around setting up etc then i have no idea what happened, i just fell. heng i grabbed on to the railings. and i had to embarrass myself by screaming and so many ppl saw. so typical of me. boo.

so anyways.

Seeing Rudy and Christine get married kinda slapped me in the face a little. i mean i thought alot about errm alot things that errm came out of nothing. but oh wells. probably i'm just paranoid la. or maybe its fact.

-------------------------

Their wedding had like almost 4 tiers filled and honestly, i doubt mine can fill like 2 - 3 tiers? like, who would i invite? or rather who do i have on my list to invite? i dont think i have that many friends. and even if i do, would they come? am i that significant in their lives that they would take a sat off just to see me walk down the aisle?

So many ppl was willing to work their butt out for their wedding. From the video to the decor to the coordinating.. ppl had it all covered. Was talking to chris the other day and she said, no matter what happens she knows that these ppl would stand by her. and i was thinking, i probably have to beg ppl to come help out in my wedding preparation. like who will be my jie mei's? who would be standing by me? who can i count on?

When chris walks down the aile she knows for sure that ppl would cheer for her. like her cell members will probably never allow a moment of silence. and true enough they didnt. i mean, wouldnt it be wierd that as you walk down the aisle ppl clap halfway and they stop clapping? its so ????.

many cried on their wedding, christine's cell did a performance for her and Lauren flew all the way from America to surprise her on her wedding... oh wells. I guess She probably meant sth to them becos of the friendship that was built and her cell respected her for what she has done in their lives for them to scream and cheer for her. So what about me? Will there be ppl who would cheer their lungs out becos they're so happy for me? will ppl cry at my wedding other than myself and my mum?

And when rudy was giving his thank you speech i cant believe i cried. haha SIAO! for what also i dont know. i guess it was pretty heartfelt la.. and i'm thinking. who would i thank on my wedding? i have no idea who actually made an impact in my life or who is that someone that i really looked up to.

i'm not saying all these because i'm emo and its all about me me me and how happening i want my wedding to be etc..

I'm just starting to question what kind of relationships have i built and who have i really impacted so far. Like who are my "cell boys and girls" and friends that would be standing by me.

The last thing i want is to be found bumming around, doing ministry, serving and at the end of it all, ppl only rmb me as the girl who always appear on stage, talks alot and not because i've made an impact in their lives or at least someone who meant sth to them.

oh wells. :)

I guess its kinda hard trying to understand my point cos i'm really bad with expressing myself through words. i'm not really the kind who can piece my thoughts into one poetic sentence to sum up what i feel. (maybe i should read more books again huh)

Okays. good night world.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
oh ya PPL. send me wedding pictures pls. :)

ugh need camera. CAMERA!!!

making it last

2007-10-19T10:11:00.000+08:00

This feels good.

Feels really good to be home on a friday morning and not having to strain my eyes at work.

Feels good to be lying on the coach, watching Jamie Oliver on the big screen.

Feels good to see sunlight in my room and not the usual gloomy dim side lights.

Feels good because i took a day off today just to relax and to restore my tired body. :)
.

oh yes, the big screen.

my parents surprised me with a new HD plasma TV in the living room last wed. they didnt want to tell me cos they thought i would go hysterical or sth.. but of course i didnt! haha

So I got home and i was like waaah. Never thought i would live to see a plasma in my house. hahaha

its quite cheap actually. think less than 2k only. we took the road show set so they slash $600 off the retail price. not bad huh. :)

Besides everything at home is breaking down. The 2 big fat TVs, the telephone (now we're surviving on ONE wired telephone in the living room) and the computers. haha so its totally justifiable that we get a new TV. Oh yes BTW if you call me at home, chances are when i talk to you halfway, the line will go cut off. thats cos i live in a cave. heh. always got no reception. oh wells.

Driving the other day was fun.

my instructor said i was not bad for a 2nd timer. slightly better than most ppl, so instead of going the usual circuit-like path, he let me drive out to Jalan Tenaga and i parked the car head in at the handicap lot in one of the car parks.

But i better dont say so early. later i fail my first try.- which is HIGHLY possible. heh

(test is in 5mths time. when i pass then i announce. if not so paiseh haha)

seriously, my instructor is one of the funniest, most irritating uncle ever. haha

And Guess what i found when i was i was packing my beauty products in the toilet the other day...

So many body shop products!

in fact i threw away alot of empty bottles and some were like restock-ed items already. Heh + i still have some lotions at the side of my bed that i didnt display and some in my mum's room.

jiu wo!. i wonder how much i spend there already.

and thats only body shop. my toilet is almost flooded with other creams, mask and lotions.. i really should stop buying these things. heh.

come my house and i'll do facial for you. haha (i rmb doing facial for jason chua before! haha that was so long ago.)

heh. and the worst part is that im not even using any of them now cos i found ZAP IT. haha my new 3 step facial wash. Daphne tan's recommendation so i got her mum to buy it for me.. and yes its REALLY good. haha. significant improvements on my skin.

should try it if you have blemish prone skin like mine. (i sound like some advertiser. haha)

okays..

time for lunch then to meet my mum at Chinatown to check out some tour packages. YES!

then its to church to do some setup for chris's wedding.

oh ya. and this week is already the 2nd time i took off actually haha. monday was off day too. just to go shopping with my mum and met christine after that to get her supplies and we had dinner at Sakae. hmm. i like nice little chats :)

i seriously know how to chao keng.

I HAVENT DECIDED WHAT TO WEAR TMR.

tsk tsk tsk.

wedding so mafan. haha.

Read the post before for my very adventurous theif catching experience last night. HAA. stupid man.

for you and for me and the entire human race

2007-10-19T00:55:00.000+08:00

Guess what happened again today (nono yest)...

okay you'll never guess it cos i got ROBBED AGAIN!

jiu wo.

Right... maybe not robbed haha but i got PICK POCKETTED!

heh. But thank God i caught that two dumb China man. ROAR!

so here's what happened.:
I was waiting for my turn to start squeezing my way into the train at City Hall and my hands were a little tied up with bags, cos i went shopping for some stuff before that. (i had like 3 boxes of shoes so its really bulky) So anyways, i wanted to swing my bag forward just so that i can grab it under my arm it to make sure its safe before boarding the train..(i lose my phone way too often already, so i've become a little more cautious about my belonging nowadays) but there this stupid China man that kept pushing me into the cabin even before i could get a hold of my bag. heh. and i was soooo pissed i turned around and gave him my deadly stare (you know i look pretty qian da when i stare at ppl haha)

Then i was wondering why is he looking so guilty.. and at the back of my mind i was thinking 1. either he tried to molest me while pushing me in, or 2. tried to steal my stuff 3. he was just too kiasu to get on the train. (experienced alot of these ppl when we were in HK).. And so i was half right! when i finally got a hold of my bag, i looked down to check my stuff (see. told you i was cautious), and i found my side pouch opened and my phone was gone! UGH. i looked at the man and straight away he tried to run out of the train but phew the door went shut right at his face. and he gave me that "oh no, i cant run anywhere" that kinda look.

So i said in like broken chinese.."mister, i think you took my phone". (i said it politely just incase its not him then i'll end up being so paiseh haha) and he was like "no i never" and he showed me his hand. then i starred at him and said "the other hand pls." and i saw that blurr toot passing the phone to his friend behind him and so i pushed them apart to check if its my phone their passing then the man threw my phone on the floor! WA JIU WO. and he said i dropped it.

UGHHH. i starred straight into his face and i tell youuuuu.. i really wanted to punch him. i'm so sorry. but i had enough of these theives alreadyy. BOO! anyways, i didnt want to pursue the matter although i was tempted to call the police.. heh but i was thinking aiyah.. sekali he really got some family issue and he's desperate for a way out or what if he had a knife and goes crazy and start stabbing me or sth. hahaha. so oh wells. i got my phone back anyways so nvmm.

Then the ppl around me started checking their phones as well. haha and one lady started raising her voice.."he took my phone! he took my phone!" and the other guy said i never i never. and next min, he threw the phone on the floor. Stupidest thief i've ever seen. heh. anyways. too bad he picked on the wrong girl to deal with. the lady followed him out of the cabin and called the police. haha whatever happened after that i dont know. I just hope these dumb men learn a lesson or sth. Heh.

oh yes. i'm not saying that those men were from China cos i despise the ppl there, its just that his accent was clearly.. CHI-NA. haha.

Actually, i would have punched him or given him some verbal warning instead of just starring back at him IF i had a friend along with me haha. i didnt want to create a big HOO HA in public all alone. HEH. where are the guys when i needed some protection HUH! haha dajie would have grabbed him by the shirt. (i hope. haha) Quek wee siang called and asked if i still needed someone to accompany me to shop, but i ended up saying no.. aiyah. TSK. should have asked him along then i'll have the courage to punch those men or i wouldn even be a target for them.

Seriously. tell me. how sway can i be.

EGG CAKE! (JI DAN GAO!)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

satisfy me

TRY IT and you'll LOVE IT.

wish i had some NOW! (although i just had some yesterday haa)

Heh. seriously. i must stop my "craving habits" before i start putting on more weight! AH!

but its okay, i'll keep telling myself i have it all under control.. yes i have. :)

and to make myself feel better, i've been drinking some really horrible sounding but very healthy vege concoction that my dad prepares everyday. it is said to be anti cancerous and can give you good skin! so try it! haha here's what you do:

squeeze:

- 1 bitter gourd

- 1 Celery

- 1 green capsicum

- 1 green apple

- 1 gourd.

TADA! thats it. :)

and yes. as you can see, its a very GREEN drink, made up of all the green vegies that most kids hate. haha.

Honestly, i can never see myself drinking such a horrible mixture. but its quite nice actually. haha And for my precious health sake of cos.

TRY IT!

SO.

i had my first driving lesson last sat. and Thank God i wasnt a road hazard haha.

Mr. Gilbert (that is my instructor) is the TOILET-iest, UNCLE-iest, WEIRDest instructor that ever lived haha. even his name sounds so toilet. haha but he's really really good.

oh yes, and i'm glad you asked...i'm taking MANUAL! haha no particular reason why.. i just liked the idea cos it sounds more SSAAT. :)

and everyone tells me that most ppl Stall on their first try. (meaning you release the clutch too fast and the vehicle jerks then must start engine again.) UH HUHHHHHH and I DID NOT stall! HAA! okay other than once when i was at the junction when i press the break too hard then i panicked and released the clutch. haha. i didnt go through the circuit, so it was straight to the road. Scary. and he made me go all the way up to 4th gear and manage to overtake another car! (okay it was a learning car that went WAYYY too slow thats why) haha

*yay. claps for myself*

Seriously, driving is so tough. so many things to remember and pay attention to. heh.

tmr evening will be my 2nd lesson. SO PLSS STAY away from UBI area if you want to avoid a potential hazard like me. haha

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and one more thinggg....

2007-10-12T04:59:00.000+08:00

2007-10-12T00:14:00.000+08:00

i think i have a really badd memory to begin with. (cos i'm trying really hard to recall what i did last week.)
.

oh yes.. Thursday i had my hair trimmed. IT WAS supposed to be a trim. then the lady said "yi chun" hor. and how am i supposed to know what "yi chun" is right. (okay its one inch. but then i didnt know.) so i said okok. and she SNIPPED my hair off. jiu wo. and its like ugly and chunky. *rolls eyes*. okay la. cant really tell the diff. but its much shorter trust me. BURGERS.
.

Friday Knocked my head on the toilet bowl at work. i know. so dumb. and my excuse for that is VERY VALID. trust me haha / met chooi chooi at 85 once again. eat eat eat./met sebas./accompanied me to the doctor's to have my itchy spots checked out. (prescribed some MINI TRANQUILISER pills -haha sounds really serious and mental huh) oh and it was really weird cos we were the only two in the clinic and the scene was kinda like 2 teenage kids waiting for the pregnancy test to come out that kind? people were literally staring at us so we started to play along and we acted like we were crying. haha hilarious okay maybe not/ then we met jasmine, aiping, siang and sheng/took silly pictures with jasmine's very nice MAC laptop/ sang at a cheaper version of kbox somewhere around chaichee (although i really hate singing errm K. but its quite fun cos we were singing at the top of our lungs and dancing around. heh)/ limteh-ed/home.
.
Saturday was to the columbarium at Chua Chu Kang to have my grandfather's ash errmm - whatever that procedure is called. his was the last tile to be fitted onto the wall. 066. right smack in the center. a very nice position indeed. Then there were stones belonging to like a 6days old baby and a 12 year old boy. Super sad. then Everyone was silent and the mood was really solemn, till we came across one tile that said; NG GEOW LAI. (its cantonese la) and we all started laughing and nudging one another. haha cos its actually NG NUI NAI (if you read it in chinese.) get it? nui nai - milk?? haha jiu wo. super anti-climax. then everyone started apologising to NG GEOW LAI for laughing at her name. Poor aunty. must have had such a traumatizing childhood. haha
.

anyhoos. Suppose to go for Fiona's wedding that day but i gave it a miss. i felt really bad for not going cos she asked me personally the other day if i'm coming and i said yes. oh wells.. SO. i ended up at my uncle's place, barely set foot for like 10 mins and i had to leave cos the very Audacious programs comm was coming to pick me. we went recce-ing at ___________. location shall not be disclosed. you want to know, sign up for camp! (haha what good publicity). /then we headed to isaiah's place for overnight planning and sleepover/ trashed isaiah in Counter strike HAA.
.

SUNDAY. everyone cramped up in the church van and off to church we go.- the only few times that you see me there so early in the morning other than for choir./ dozing off during the first service/ had my hair salvaged and trimmed at MODE. another disastrous place to go to./ to the usual sunday dinner at Dajiet's place.
.

MONDAY was work work work. knock out after a nice hot bath.
.

TUESDAY was work again. decided to shop for my dress for chris's wedding. didnt find anything but end up spending like $100+ at Body shop. Heh. / my ONLY intention was to get my makeup supplies. or rather just eye shadow cos i usually buy my makeup from missha. okay. nvm. The point is that, i got my eye shaddow (nice gold and brown yay! i love it), then i decided to get an eyeliner pencil, and a brush. so okay. came up to about $68. then i wanted to use my discount card. BUT IT WAS EXPIRED and i didnt know. so the lady PSYCHO-ed me to renew it at $10.+a free footbalm. so i said okay. then the total came up to about $78. Then she PSYCHO-ed me and Said, $80 got free gift. so i said okay. grabbed a concealer. total about $90+. then she PSYCHO-ed me again by saying, every $30 can get one chop on your rewards card. but it doesnt include the $10 membership charges. so i have to spend another $10. so i grabbed a body wash.. and FINALLY. i spent $100. got my FREE footbalm, FREE gift, and free stamp. JIU WO. slap me on the head pls.
.

(highlights)WEDNESDAY was jiak jua day! haa. i took off cos i got driving e-trail test in the morning like 8.15am heh.. so i went for the e-trail. didnt study at all, failed it./applied for my PDL/ my colleague Sarah, very kindly booked a free e-trail session at YCK to practice. so i travelled down, sat there for an hour doing the test.. seems pretty simple actually. bla bla./ then headed down to town to shop for my dress.. walk walk walk. found many dresses but all NOT suitable cos we had some metallic theme to go along with. and can i say how much i hate dress makers!? why do ALL or most dresses nowadays have that stupid line thingy at the center. like the waist band thing. my body shape is so not cut out for that. heh and its super hard to find a dress that compliments my body ughh. well i found many dress but the prices are SUPER NICE. so too bad. walk walk walk (alone as usual) haha finally to wisma. didnt know there got DanielYam cos the one at heeren closed down. and FINALLY i manage to get a Champaign coloured dress that looks a little metallic. KA CHING $$$ money fly away.

** PEOPLE. PLS DONT BUY THE SAME DRESS. cos we'll look super retarded. mine is a normal Champaign coloured spag dress with some string at the back. comes in pink and i think white. SO ANYTHING ALONG THAT LINE, PLS PLS PLS dont buy. I'll kill myself haha.**
okay.. then i hurried home for dinner (totally love home cook food. cos its free haha!) then i took a bus down and walked to UBI for my Final theory test..wait wait. wondering why everyone is holding on to their Basic theory book. then the instructor said, would all those taking basic theory line up now. and i was wonder why never call for advance people. hmm okay sth fishy. so i ran downstairs checked my test date.. AND LO AND BEHOLD. its on the 11/10/07. HOW COULD I HAVE seen it as 10/10/07! JIU WOOOOO.. UGH. haha wasted trip. so i walked back to the busstop at eunos and took a bus home.

Someone slap me in the head pls.
.
TODAY. which is THURSDAY. Work work. and yes today is the day. yup, i didnt see wrongly. it is today. my FINAL THEORY TEST DATE. 11/10/07. double checked everything and okay no more boo boos this time. went down to ubi.. and i was SUPER NERVOUS. i have no idea why. think its the exam thing la. i always get it during exams. and i felt SUPER RETARDED cos i kept "am Chio-ing" to myself the WHOLE TIME. hhaaha super spastic. even thoughout the test. heh. and i was shaking (as in literally shaking) so badly i look even more RETARDED. so do do do and POOF finished the test in 10 mins. but i checked it like once thru. hesitated. finally hit the complete button. and *******
i PASSED :)
Yeah. so you read all that piece of chunk above about everything that happened last week just for me to get to this point. haha. okay maybe the smarter ones didnt bother reading my nonsensical entry. but if you did, i admire your patience in tolerating my long winded-ness. :)

okay i sound like a mad woman already. but i passed so yay. first time you see. oh and my secret? i burnt book and drank it. haha kidding! it was hard work. i studied k. but didnt even touch the textbook. i just read some question and answer book that delia passed me. haha (secret manual). haha this time Dont have to slap me on the head. :) :)

i feel good now cos i just did a very relaxing hair mask. now.. its time to get back to designing the zone postcard. im way behind schedule.. :)

Zone Outing @ Marina Bay (29.09.07)
Thank God for the sunny weather. errm Maybe a little TOOoo SUNNY. haha Almost got chao-ta-ed and baked alive. heh.
Seriously.. i really cannot afford to stay under the sun too long anymore. i want to look Chinese! and i definitely dont want to have severely damaged skin. (despite the fact that my skin is already majorly damaged after being infested with sand fly bites ALL OVER that looks super red and swollen + the uneven tone and half peeled skin that i got from the sunburn back in Tioman (no pictures yet.)
heh. and This is the part where we say.. "JIU WO!!")

Yes. So Once again we played the game drip drip drop for ice breakers. (i hate that game. no, actually its quite fun.) haha so here's how WE play it...;

Run around the circle and sit down where ever you dropped the bucket of water on. And If you got Dropped on, start chasing!
p.s. Drip as many times as you want. haha.
.
Okay whatever haha.
anyways. drip drip drop, kite flying, more games and $11 steamboat.. = :)
Kite flying is officially the most tiring activity that ever existed,
Johnny fish cooking was too hilarious to watch,
sabby and her inedible, chao-ta-ed chicken meat at every attempt made me laugh,
dirty and smelly but still great.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cell Group @ vince's place and at Popeye's the other, errm other other..eh other other other other other ... day.
r.a.n.d.o.m.n.e.s.s.

p.s.: i've got craving for Popeye's now. (although i just ate KFC yest) heh.
Imagine..
crispy chicken,
the best mash potatoes ever,
and biscuits with maple syrup!
:P
.
Holiday holiday holiday. Oh and happy childrens day! (hey it rhymes!)

alright, enough already!

2007-09-28T01:10:00.000+08:00

My skin is peeling like crazy!

I look like i have some 3rd degree burns or sth.
its looking like some fish flakes on takopachi balls!
JIU WO. its super patchy and ugly!

and i barely have anything to cover it up cos most of my wearable clothing are sleeveless.

BOO! How long does it take for it to heal? :(
So much for being so happy that its the first time i get red under the sun.

And sand flies itching thingy pls GO AWAY.

cross my fingers that there will be NO scarring.

burgers.

Bubble blowing babies

2007-09-27T23:33:00.000+08:00

Aww. say hello to Caleb.
And he's my practice target to being one step closer into motherhood. (which is like 7years later. haha but no harm starting early! )

Every sat i get to feed him, try change his diapers (i'll stay out of it if he poo-ed haha) and entertain him while delia is preaching.
Its quite fun actually. You know this whole pretend to be a Nanny thingy. haha and i guess the only reason why he allows me to babysit him is because he Always, i mean ALWAYS puke on me and of course i dont scream. :) or maybe i shook him too much. haha
so okay. a pat on the back for myself.
.
i think this whole baby sitting thing is causing me to age alot.
My cell members say i look old enough to be a married woman/ unwed mum! heh. okay i am old enough technically speaking but i really look so old meh. tsk tsk.
maybe ppl should stop calling me Mummy, Granny and AUNTY. its the power of speech i tell you!!
and carol, christine and delia was giving me some marriage and birth preperation crash course the other day. (i was freaked out but honestly its quite interesting and i'm very interested + i've been planning my finances for my wedding haha. yes SIAO! but what if i get married early? :) :) :) )
so my ideal plan isssss.... (you're suppose to read it faster) --> proposal at 24, get married at 25, conceive at late 26, first child at 27, 2nd at 28, 3rd at 29!
so WHO EVER you are that is going to marry me/ wants to marry me, pls take note.
KIDDING! actually its sounds good to me. haha
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay this is once again.. Super overdued.
but this was cell the other other other day.. and i'm tortured by the girls. (as usual)
They are vicious girls who gives me bite marks and blue blacks by the end of the day.heh i wonder who they learn it from.. haha (must be julianne)
Thank God dearest Chooi kueh isnt like that! (or maybe she is haha)

psst. i did their hair actually. :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DP Bowling Day.

Yes, we paid $2 for a stupid viking ride at east coast. quite scary actually. but such cheap thrills. haha
and we looked horrible in the bowling shoes. (jul was right. who looks good in those shoes anyways) heh. and i wonder why do they make it in such horrible colours. Half blue and half red. or some, bright yellow. eww. ??
everyone's score was pretty impressive. other than the girls. but i think we did not bad.
Honestly i cant appreciate bowling. Literally throwing money into the drain. Dont try and justify yourself even if you hit any pins. haha. its stillll.... in the "drain"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anywayssss...
Argh I need a camera.
Its horrible having to wait for people to send you pictures. and its even horrible-ler to share a camera with JOD's mum since she's always travelling and the camera is so horrible too. (Tell me. What's the video function for when there are no speakers to record the sound. SIAO!) haha
.
SO. who would be so kind enough to take up a love offering and bless me with a camera.
Specifically a Black Sony T20 black pls.
That is...To replace my "late" camera, which unfortunately, got abducted last june. :(
believe it or not, my mum still hasnt found out about it. and if she does.. ITE! (anything to do with loss of money would be equivalent to the loss of my head. heh)
sadly,i still havent got the money to buy it back cos of outstanding bills to be paid. so oh wells.
Cameraaaaaa.......
.
Oh Happy cos i'm going bangkok soon. (are we jul?)
and according to my mum (cos she will be getting her long await bonus) we'll be ON HOLIDAY at the end of the year! Lets hope i dont get cheated again. haha.
(my parents promised to bring me to Korea like 10 years ago but it never came. NOT EVEN CLOSE haha.)
.
okay.
goodnight

2007-09-24T14:09:00.001+08:00

2007-09-22T10:03:00.000+08:00

As we grow older we tend to learn a little bit more about ourselves.

what we like, what we hate...

i'm not extroverted by nature really. i just am because i have to and yes, because i want to.

i was giving chooi kueh an illustration the other day about coming out of our comfort zone. And i told her about how much i actually like being alone and how much i dislike being in crowds and being known as the outspoken one. and i she was like no, you cant be! .. Oh wells. Things arent always as it seems. :)

My mum once told me that when i was a kid, i'd just sit quietly at one corner and play by myself. other than the fact that i'm an only child (and its a HORRIBLE fact), I never had much opportunity to do so either. (cos i was always locked up at home and I'm never allowed to play with my neighbours. okay, not exactly never. but if i get to play with them, we're separated by the gate. meaning, that poor fella have to sit outside my door! haha) But Dont get me wrong. My parents and grandparents arent overly protective. in fact they give me all the freedom i need. its like when i went to hongkong, i just decided, book the flight then tell my parents that i'm going. ANYWAYS. back to the point. yeah, i was the quiet kid around.

Honestly, i dont think anyone is really extroverted or introverted by nature. its more like a choice thingy?

put me in a room filled with quiet people and i'll make the first move to break the ice.

i mean, someone has to do it first right...

maybe thats where people start developing their perception about you that you're loud, RAH RAH kid around. but the actual fact is that you like to be alone most of the time?

its like if i decide to sit down, be by myself for like 1 sec, people will start thinking that i'm emo-ing or i have some Major problem going on.. ugh.

.
And since i'm so outspoken, people probably think that she's got it all, tons of friends etc.. but really, its not like that. heh.

its like when i'm in primary school i was in a group of 4. and the other 3 is closer to each other and i'm just part of clique but not exactly close to anyone. and in secondary school, of all the cliques that i've been in, i'm always just there and never realllyyy part of it? and in poly errm.. not really close to anyone. so oh wells.

i guess its just me haha. i can talk alot and make friends, but i dont know how to be personal? heh (must try and learn then. :) )

probably cos i'm not really good with words or with actions. like i cant walk over to someone and give them a hug randomly, stick my face with you and take a picture like we're so close, hold your hand and shop together or give you a pat and lend you my shoulder when you're crying..

and because of that, it seems like i dont care.. but i really really do! its all in the mind. As in, i care alot but my body and mouth dont react accordingly?

and i cant cry alot. if i cry, its always silently. i cant groan and start wailing that much. even during the altar call... its always alot of tears but i'm biting my lips to stop myself from crying. (i know. this is bad)

so really. i'm not all that extroverted and loud. so oh wells..

at the end of the day, i dont think alot of people know me well. maybe a handful. or perhaps one or two.

heh Told you i'm not good with expressing myself with words. cos i have no idea what i just typed. haha probably just rattling on and on i guess.

anyways,

i woke up super early today! so yay! haha i think my sleep patterns back to normal. its like 6.50am i'll just jump out of bed. haha oh wells. time for cell soon and i'll be meeting THE BF later. (why do ppl call them THE BF? strange :) )

So tmr i'll be leading. just that ONE SONG called ONE THING, that will soon be OVER SUNG. hahaha.and i'm super stressed although i've done it so many times. heh so why am i still stressed. crazy. ahh God pls help me.

pitching, signals, flow, anointing.. must sing with feel.... okay. i cant do it really. but my Father is backing me up. phew.

i have alot of pictures to post but some other time!

goodbye.

we'll watch the world go past

2007-09-12T21:05:00.000+08:00

on the sept 11..

Oh POP lo! :)

So i took a half day leave just to endure the hot hot hot sun and watch a few botak men march around in their uniform. haha

Yes. its Dajie's POP day. :) :)

and so is Jodin's, Qinsheng's, Martin's, Kai wen's etc etc haha

Anyways. Only 2 visitors per recruit are entitled to attend the parade (how pathetic) and dajiet's dad was nice enough to let me go instead.. so, i met Dajiet's mum at white sands before heading off to Tekong Andd It was QUITE weird at first cos this is the first time i'm actually walking around and spending SO MUCH "alone" time with her? haha(i mean dont count the times when she sends me home la) but oh wells. at least i didnt throw my own face. heh. :) :)

This is Dajiet's company.

he's at the last row, 6th person from the right..

ehh. ???????? haha where is he again?

seriously EVERYONE looks the same.

OH OH. and that guy running by him self on the 2nd picture on the right is nicholas. my Course mate turned Dajiet's new best friend. and He's the company's best recruit.. Wooo impressive. (:

aww. and my favourite picture is the one on the left.

she's the cutest aunty ever alive really. In fact the whole family is. haha the dad came up to me the other day and said "eh down stairs got farewell party" then he started laughing. haha and i seriously didnt know what he meant, so i just laugh along.. (then i realised that he was actually referring to a funeral downstairs! heh) and yesterday he was telling some tau gay joke... oh my goodness haha its hilarious.

Oh ya. back to dajie's POP.

halfway through the parade, they invited all family and friends to put on the jocky cap for all the recruits. Heh. and when you walk down you can practically smell all the sweat surrounding you.. EWWW. and yes when i went down i couldn find dajie. haha the mum found him first.
.

I look super disgusting that day. The sun practically melted away all my makeup and i was perspiring like anything. heh Burgers.

OH. and thats dajie's mum and i. AH JIU WO cos i look FATTER THAN HER! (and she's hippier than i am)

ehh and i think dajie and i look alike. somehow.

This will probably be my first and last POP that i'll attend other than my son's one in future. so HAHA.

____________________________________________________________________

Night Cycling! 07 09 07

And this will also probably be the first and last time that i'll be cycling through the night!!... haha i ALMOST died cos i was too sleepy and my butt felt like its covered with blue blacks! haha

haha the whole night felt so fun and adventurous. esp with my handy MIZUNO Backpack that meida and sarita kept laughing at cos i looked super super aunty with it. (like some backpack that mummies use carry their milk bottles. HEH.

anyways,

we went from the kiosk to lagoon, then to plaza sing for late night movie, then to Macs at town for breakfast like 4am (we met some drunk dudes. heh really scary and it was pouring!!!.) then we got stuck at shaw centre, then we cheated our way into waterside to bath at the condominium's toilet. haha (we sure know how to pick a good place!) then we sat around waterside for awhile and cycled back to ecp in the rain.. (like what the point of bathing) then we got stuck at some pavilion, and finally got to the beach for baptism service.

haha buay ta han.

i was out since 730am on friday morning cos i had to go to work. and i was sleepless till the next day. afternoon cos we still had cell. JIU WO.

I'm not young enough for this haha.

Its really scary to cycle at night. so good thing we had ying hui to protect us haha.

okay you cant tell. but i had no makeup on cos MEIDA CHOOI didnt allow me to put on my foundations to cover the MO PENG. haha...

anyways if you want to cycle at night.. ITS ONLY $8!! and we all get free Gatorade.

the kiosk closes at 930 and you'll have to return the bikes by 9am - 10 am the next day.

REALLY VALUE FOR MONEY. haha.

________________________________________________________________________

This was how much we ate at sakae the other day.
I think the lady cleared away some already haha.
The amt of sashimi i ate was in-comprehendable.
I LOVE raw SALMON. :)
.
HAHA. ben held on to weisiang's "chest" by accident just when the camera snapped. And there you have it.. A very candid shocked face after being molested. haha
_______________________________________________________________

Aiyah. totally no blog juice. heh dont know what am i talking about. haha
Got to run! Tushan and gang is outside already...

goodbye world.

A secret i cannot tell. SHH. :)

2007-09-05T23:59:00.000+08:00

Anyways yes. This is where i sit everyday from 8.30a.m - 6p.m.

yawn.

Work is fine. No big Hoo-ha or what-so-ever.

Colleagues are nice (other than the fact that they ALWAYS make fun of me haha),

Pay is bad, Aircon is horrible and snacking becomes uncontrollable. :)
.

And if you're wondering, i'm working as an Marketing admin assistant, ..a.k.a. SKW (Sai-kang warrior) haha.

Yes. i do sai kang. and you know sai kang jobs are super messy. and i cant stand it when things are not in place... so im always trying to clear up the "mess" (not garbage mess) haha. errm. just to make myself happier.
actually its not THAT bad being a SKW la.

i just hate it when instructions are not passed down properly and there's really alot of unnecessary double work done? its like when you're give instruction A, halfway through when you ask about sth and you find out that there's something called instruction B that she forgot to tell you and instruction C, D E... haha and then when when things go wrong, it's always the temp staff's fault cos we're the ones who came up with the data..when in actual fact we just merely followed instructions.

Oh wells. sad dog. :)

.
Speaking of messy work..

Its really messy on my level. haha there are t-shirt samples lying around, clothes everywhere, People walking and screaming across the office, non-stop telephone ringing sound, the noisy invoice printer that NEVER stops printing bla bla.

Oh my goodness. its like a fish market seriously.. heh okay maybe not so bad. how bout a sewing factory? haha

Oh yes. and women are vicious creatures.
okay. not that i'm not female but i'm talking about specifically those in my company. haha

All the other colleagues are nice. EXCEPT the merchandisers. Always angry and snapping at ppl. haha but oh wells. they're probably too stressed or sth.

SO ANYWAYS. haha i think i have a pretty positive mind. haha cos For the past one mth i've been thinking about how fun work is etc. haha As in REALLY.

Obviously it's not THAT FUN la. or rather it was never fun and in fact, you always meet nasty ppl but its just a matter on how we want things to turn out?
okay, maybe i'm easily satisfied or sth. but i keep telling myself yay i'm earning money, Yay i'm walking up early, yay i'm taking more bus, yay i'm eating at home often, yay i feel like an adult.

it works the same way as how nikki raibode would put it; "What you see, produces an image inside and becomes a driving force in your life" (say it with an indian accent haha)
.

okay whatever. i have no idea what i'm talking about.

no blog juice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This whole week i've been eating wayyyy to much.

lets see..

Monday: dinner with wei siang and benjamin at sakae. (literally gorge myself with sashimi)

weisiang wanted to treat me so i dragged along benjamin and i had to pay half his meal cos he's always paying for my cab fare and everything else. but in the end he felt bad so he bought our movie tickets and paid for cab fare home again. HAHA.

Tuesday: Dinner with steph at Cartel.

i bought her dinner and we played arcade. haha why are we always playing arcade. heh

Wednesday: Dinner with Meida, Sarita and Daphne at 85.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dont worry. its not a real cigarette of course! its chocolate. haha
i wonder why do they bother wrapping that small stick of chocolate so nicely. it even comes in a cigarette-like box. i think its for keeping ppl like us entertained for quite a while. HAHA
.
I LOVE Cartel's PAN FRIED LINGUINE. yay.
You must eat it with the vineger sauce thingy for their chef salad
+ added vinegar and olive oil so it wouldnt be so dry.
Sinful - yes i know.
.
881 was not bad. i wont say its EXTREMELY nice. but thumbs up for a Singapore production. cos i SUPPORT LOCAL MOVIES! haha. Eh its a tad bit tooo draggy and lame at some parts. but still nice.
You can tell if a song is successful if ppl can still rmb the tune after the whole show.

"ji lang ji puaaa..."

Dont play play. This show actually broke the box office record of Rush Hour 3.! haha
oh and Qi yuwu is HOT.

Met up with these funny fella's for supper on one of their book out days.
Probably wont meet them anytime soon anymore. so we took some group photos for remembrance sake. awww..
.
oh dear. i have too many BALDING friends. haha i'm hearing so many repeated army stories and i talk about the army as if i've been through it and know all their activities inside out. haha. (i mean of course not in the literal sense la. cos its not my experience. i'll never know how it's really like)
.
but Seriously. Guys have nothing else to talk about except the army when they book out. haha JIU WO.
no wonder ppl say, ;put 2 male strangers together and once they start talking about army, they talk as if they knew each other for years before. hhaha.

Seriously..
why cant i catch a proper fireworks display always?
-------------------------------------------------------------
NDP '02: yes. i was at the stadium. but i was sitting way upstairs. and because the fireworks came shooting from behind, so all of us had a half transparent umbrellas to block of the sparks falling.
That day, i saw more umbrellas than fireworks.
.
Fireworks display '06: Rush down with the cell, ran from city hall to esplanade, pushed through the crowd, finally got to a place where i could catch a glimpse of the fireworks...Looked up.. saw a few sparks and SMOKE.
and oooHHHh The Fireworks Display ended.
.
NDP preview '07: Stuck at suntec car park. missed the show.
.
NDP '07: Fireworks blocked by costa rhu.. So far off that the sound came a few seconds later.
.
Fireworks preview '07: SO perfect until we heard the boom! and heh. we were staring at the wrong direction.! + The wonderful display of fireworks had to be blocked by some really tall trees ahead. so all we saw were lights flickering between the leaves and many many disappointed faces haha.
.
Why why why!!! haha.
----------------------------------------
but anyways, Saturday was nice.
(Other than the fact that we sort of missed the fireworks display again...,)
we Sat in the car, wind down the windows, feasted on KFC and talked while waiting for the fireworks to start. Sort of like picnicking. which.. felt pretty good. :)
oh and I realise sth. we always eat ta-bao-ed KFC or Mac in the car.haha and somehow, it taste better.
Esp when you share a packet of cheesefries while he's driving. mmm
.
OH! watch SECRET! (yes the jay chou show)
i'm never a fan of chinese shows cos half the time i'm reading the subtitles..heh but this one is really nice. although the special effects look alittle fake (typical for chinese movies).. but the plot is pretty interesting.
Dajie says its the kind of show that gives you the "itchy" feeling (whatever that meant) haha. okay. let me translate.; you know the tian mi mi, Ngiao Ngiao feeling? haha.
but i hate the ending. so sad. they still dont really get to be with each other., unless jay chou doesnt mind dating a women 20 years older than him. :) hahaha.
okay whatever.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o.O
check this out. haha okay nvm. its just a funny random photo. :)

Don't you think so.?

Somehow she looks prettier in person..oh and everything on her is pink. o.O?
i wonder what is she doing here. maybe she's my neighbour.

.
- i was laughing at my neighbour who was playing golf outside of his garden today.
Weird. is that even possible?
.
- Did i ever tell you that my office is like an Eskimo palace?
okay not my office. just at my table. cos the aircon is right on top. and i need to wear 3 layers + hold a cup of hot water to keep myself warm.
its crazy.
.

.
Oh no. Late. late.
Got to run!

so typical

2007-08-13T03:32:00.000+08:00

i've been thinking and i need help on this.
Tell me, tell me. Should i start uni later?
heh i know. why am i so indecisive! ugh oh wells.

#1. My initial plan
Study at SIM - Economics and Finance
Degree awarded by RMIT - Project based
1.5 Years, Starting Jan 08.
Closing Date: Oct 07.
Pros: Starts earlier, ends earlier
: Shorter so its cheaper.
Cons: RMIT is not as recognised as UOL
: money - Have to find some student loans

#2.
Still study at SIM - Economics and Finance
Degree awarded by UOL (University of London) - Exam Based
2 years, starting Aug 08
Closing Date: Mar 08
Pros: UOL is more recognised
: I can continue working and save up alittle more for the course Fees, take up less loans
: At the same time, try enroll myself into other Local unis again. Who knows i might get into NUS or NTU business or SMU. heh.
: Maybe my family might stike rich because of the "on block" thingy. and money wouldnt be an issue. HEH

Cons: Its a long wait and i'm already a year late

: Start later and the course is also longer. Which means Pay more and graduate later.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.
Now. i'm quite keen on the 2nd option.
cos UOL is generally more recognised and with the extra time, i get to try enroll myself into the local Unis again. and who knows i might get a shot this time. (Cos our govt finally realise that only 1 out of 4 poly grads go into local Unis. So they're opening up more space for people like us.)
.
BUT.
- Will a degree from a slightly more recognised uni make that much of a difference? after all, RMIT is one semester cheaper. and thats like saving $6k.
- will that more expensive; recognised Degree get me a better job?Cos I'm thinking..I have a diploma and i'm also doing Sai kang, probably earning the same amount as an 'O' Level grad. So tell me.whats the point of it again?
- Am i an exam sort of person? Is UOL more stressful? can i do it?
- I'm a year later than all poly students, and 2 years later than all JC students my age. HEH. i dont like the idea of that. and i hate waiting. i want to go to school Now.
.
Then again,
- if i manage to get into some business course in NUS, NTU or SMU.. THEN the degree will make a whole lot of difference.
.
So now..
- The Risk is wait, and who knows i might get a degree that makes a whole lot of difference... but bear in mind that the probability is 1 out of ********** (heh. i dont know)
- Wait. Dont get a degree that makes a whole lot of difference, but a more recognised degree that makes a little difference.

- Dont wait. Get a cham-pa-lang degree that doesnt make that much of a difference anyways.
- Dont wait: Chop chop, get it over and done with. cos the outcome of either one is the same. might ask well go the faster route.
.
"Am i making sense to you?"
.
Seriously. i'm complicating myself. HELP.

Ugh. just help me pick one pls. #1 or #2.
AHH.

its always better when we're together

2007-08-09T23:57:00.000+08:00

Say Hurray!, cos It's national day!
Wanted to watch it from somewhere nearer, but we figured out that everywhere would be packed.
So yes, tushan, marty, yuan shen and i went to pebble bay to watch the fireworks.
But guess what. Even Tg Rhu is jammed can. tsk. Whhaaatttt is thissss.
It was like the other time, when Dajie and i wanted to catch the Fireworks Preview from esplanade but ended up stuck at Suntec's carpark for about an hour till it was too late to watch anything. UGH!
.
Anyways. It was quite nice. We sat on a big open field which is pretty much people infested, chit chatted and waited for the fireworks to start.

Then we saw physics in action too! oooo.
When the first few fireworks went up, i started complaining, "ehh we're so far off that we cant even hear the sound la! tsk tsk." Then a few seconds later... "BOOM!"
Ohhh... sound travels slower. haha
(For a moment i thought it was going to rain. cos it was like surround sound. Heh.)
COOL.

Oh and here's botak marty after his first 2 weeks. Okay he looks the same. and AH! all my friends are "balding!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's our beloved Zone 2 DP!
okay some missing people here.

SO. We decided to be crazy as a DP and wore school uniforms to church that day.
and many of us are... Overdue-d/ over aged students. haha.
Like Sabby... graduated from KC like years ago!.. and Joseph, working adult already, still dare to wear TPJC's uniform haha.
But it was Fun. :)
I wore jan L's MJC's uniform. haha zheyy macham only ah.
Everyone agreed that i look like a JC student. YES!!! (but a CHAO LIAN JC student). haha whatever.
.

Sabby, Jan C, Lav, Jul.
Can't imagine how much we've grown over the years :)
i still rmb in 2004, just one year after we graduated from Sec school, all 4 of us "daring-ly" and "buay pai seh-y" wore our school uniforms down to orchard road JUST FOR FUN. haha so lame.
and Sab jul and i wore our uniforms to work at some printing company that time JUST FOR FUN TOO! OH MY!
forgive us. we were only 16 then. hahaha.
.

Dominic and Ying hui (fake changkat students)
Jul and sabby (Fake SAC and ex KC girl) - vote this as the funniest picture ever. haha. its candid.
.

Say "POLO!" :)

:)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Then we decided to have more bonding time at Jan C's place with FONDUE. mmm.
so its off to GIANT for some grocery shopping. :)

we invited quite a few stares and jammed that place for taking this picture. hhaa.
.

.
So all that shopping led to this....

MMMMMMMM......... OH MY goodness. look at the chocolate.
.
we had marshmellows, apples, bananas, strawberries, waffles... ah!
DIG IN.

Us. looking so unglam, indulging in chocolate. haha. yummy.
.
I love you DP. heh hahaha.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh. and this is Zone 2. Where we come from. :)

What about now

2007-08-07T21:51:00.000+08:00

Yay. i got a job. Starting tmr.
What short notice. they want me to start work even before interviewing me.
Its Some marketing assistant thingy at some Company that is US based. and yes i'm back to working at changi south, behind expo, where IBM is. HEH.
Hopefully its not some 'sai-kang' admin job. and i'm not paid alot but reasonable. Since i'm only a temp staff working for 3 months.
Dajie's response to this is: "oh no! you're going to go back to your aunty dressing again.!"
Okay okay. whatever. haha.
yay. income.! and goodbye my not so tai tai life. OFFICIALLY.

Spread the love.

2007-08-07T17:26:00.000+08:00

This is like some majorly overdued post.
But anyways. yes. i was just browsing through my Myanmar photos and it brought back alot of memories (because its the first and only mission trip i went to when i was in Cornerstone) haha
so i thought why not post it here, just to archive my entire trip and let others see how Myanmar looks like. :)
.
I really enjoyed myself there.. The culture, the people, the food and everything made it so hard to leave. No wonder Pst Dan warned us not to get toooo attached! haha
.
oh wells. Here goes.
*and beware. its image heavy!* :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cornerstone Yangon Youth camp

This is their youth ministry. and guess what. they're called Generations too. :)
.

This is the view from our hotel.
Somehow when you're there, everything seems so beautiful even though its actually quite run down. haha. okay. maybe its just me. heh.
.
Below: Uniquely Yangon. :)
- The street and their people.
actually i think the pictures were taken quite well. haha (i took them!)

Bottom Left: Myanmar currency or rather Banana notes. WOOOooo. makes us feel so rich cos its all in thousands. oh and i was the finance keeper then haha. So i get to feel the "richest!" :)
Bottom Right: That is actually their number plate? haha So chim looking. i think if we had this kind of number plate, all the summon aunty fatimahs will have a really hard time taking down our vehicle number. haha.

above left: That says PEARL MILK TEA in Burmese. haha. CHIMILOGY
above right: and that's our bible in Burmese. CHIMILOGY again. haha its worst than reading chinese.
.
than its their water festival.
Its somewhat like their chinese new year there. but instead of ang pows, you get "showers of blessing" haha and apart from the whole religious cleansing purposes, the reason why the water festival is set during that week is because thats like the hottest time of the year! (40 degrees)
anyway. yes. The people are crazy when it comes to getting you wet. - Pails, water hose and just about anything you can think of that contains water is your worst nightmare. Some of them even added ICE into some of the pails. So when the water gets to you, its shivering cold.
Its like demon possessed really.... - Blasting techno music, Drunk people dancing (or rather most of them are drunk), vehicles piled up with men blowing whistles, etc. Its chaotic!
and we always get taxi's with no window, spoilt window, or we're just too late to wind up the windows. so we always end up wet before we even reach the church. haha simply hilarious. :)

See how the people are packed into one van? - thats their public transport. heh

and yes. Thats the part we all get wet. Donovan always gets to sit in the middle. so chris and i are always the ones blocking all the attacks.
.

Waiting for cab. and Look at their faces.. The weather is really very hot. haha
The cab fare usually varies. We have to bargain for a good price cos they tend to Ke-tok us foreigners. haha So its always better to get a local to do the bargaining for you! :)
.
The church.

This is the small lane leading into the Church. Its really kampong i tell you. haha

Kids by the streets and the very adorable neighbours of pst san-min.
Oh yes. Pst san-min's house is just next to the church. or in fact, its almost part of the church building. haha.

Their sleeping premises.
think your bed is too hard? check out theirs.
they sleep right at the back where we usually conduct our services. and guess what. right beside them is the toilet and the pigs. heh imagine the smell.

The toilet and bathing facilities. - that shed at the back is where the pigs are .
heh. i usually tahan the whole day and before going back into the hotel for whatever 'business' i have instead of settling it there. haha
cos yes. i'm pampered. - put me into the jungle, yes im okay. but give me a nice toilet pls..
.
Oh yes. the campers. :)
The kids are really so cute. Some alittle "over-aged" for youth camp haha

Them during praise and worship and Don speaking to one of the youths. :)

Okay. this has nothing to do with anything. Its just one of Don's spastic moments haha. Good thing i didnt put the other more embarrassing photographs of him okay.

Pst san-min and i. he's the cutest pastor ever.
"smiling!" :)
above right: Their electricity is powered by a generator. So the power goes out like in the middle of the service etc. That was one of those times when we had to make do with a candle in order to see what we were eating for dinner.

Food glorious food.
Okay not my kind of food. but some of them are really nice. Especially the soups.
and we get served like by the church helpers and PASTORS who are way older than we are.
oh my. its humility and servant hood i tell you.
.
CAMP
All that we did during their camp. haha

We taught them the hunter, squirrel, and tree game. haha.really funny. - and there is Dajie the squirrel.
Oh and When peihan and team went, they taught them the banana dance. so this time we taught them the chicken dance. haha Seriously. they're just so simple. They can have so much fun with such simple games that we people complain is its too boring. tsk tsk
.

and they taught me some Burmese song with actions and all. haha its really FUN. and then one of the nights the campers made me sing and do the actions with them. haha
.
Us. Preaching and teaching the word.

Bottom: Dajie preparing for his message and delivering the message. (he's their so called Korean superstar. haha) - oh no and i miss his hair. heh. okay nvm.

Above left: Chris and i taught them the song, Freedom we know , and got them to dance with us. dajie played the electric and don was on the drums. (KEYBOARD DRUMS to be exact haha)
Above Right: oh and Thats my first debut in Myanmar leading praise and worship with Mary (pst san-min's 2nd daughter.)
Bottom left: that fan i'm holding is our LIFE SAVER for a very hot weather. haha :) oh and that's the living room of pst san-min's house. where we rest, have our meals and chit chat in before each service.. its really crampy though.

them sending us off on the last night and here we are at the hotel for some good rest.
Luxury man! haha we ordered room service because we were so hungry and tired and We couldnt ta bao because all the shops are closed for their festive season.

above: us with pst san-min outside church

Dajie and "XIAO MING" haha. the very cute Burmese boy that looks so chinese.; Chris and I.
.
Yup and that our team! haha (what were the guys thinking seriously)

So yes. that pretty much sums up everything about the trip. Yay! :)

5 stars on Red and white.

2007-08-06T15:20:00.000+08:00

i sang like a MAN,
(they didnt transpose the song so i'm like stuck in the key of D.)

went off key like countless times..

but its okay. He still did it. :)
.
Then pst dan had a last min song request. HOME.

For a split second i thought he wanted us to sing Chris Daughtry's Home. haha

Then he said no, the national day Home. OHHHh.. Thatttt Home.
OH wells.

Good thing i sang it when everyone was returning to their seats and people actually "waved" and sang along. haha. Thanks Geners.
Seriously, if not it will be super WEIRD.
.
SECRET secret desire: This is so dumb. but actually.. i've always day-dreamed about myself doing some solo singing performance in my secondary school on national day. haha you know, like get picked to perform a national day song. or hoping that they'd have some singing competition for national day that kinda thing. haha

I mean. i like singing national day songs maaa. (the old ones of course)

i know.i know. Dont bother saying anything.

haha Told you it was a SECRET secret Desire. :)
but back then i didnt think i could sing. what more even join a competition. haa
----------------------------------------------------------------------

.
Speaking of national day. Its coming soon!
I think i'll miss this year's national day parade cos i'll be sending Dajie off to camp..

but its okay! cos there's still the encore telecast and i just might catch the fireworks at night!
.

Ugh. i didnt manage to get any tickets this year and i really wanted to see the parade live.
The last time i went for the parade was in Sec 3? i Dragged along aiping to watch the parade with my mum and her P5 students. haha and it was so fun.
Oh yes. Don't you find it weird?

cos the National Day parade is the only time you feel so enthusiastic about everything and anything about Singapore. and its the only time when we actually sing the national anthem the loudest. or its probably the only time we feel so patriotic about being a Singaporean. haha
.
But I am proud to be a Singaporean. haha honestly i am.

And i thank God that he has placed me in this nation. A nation that is like a safety shelter, one that allows me to live in peace and not in fear, one that gives me a freedom of choice and religion, and one that is under the influence of good leaders.
Sometimes we think to ourselves - if only i was an American, or a Japanese.. or we always dream of leaving this country in search of a better life, maybe in Australia or sth....

But Come on. The grass always seems greener on the other side. In reality, it may not be so.

Maybe we should start seeing how privilege we are being called, - Singaporeans.
.
We're all here for a reason.

And its all in His perfect plan that we're born in Singapore and not somewhere like in errm Mozambique or sth

So What's our place? i know its not just to stick out like a thorn in the flesh and be a "pollution" to this society.

But we have a part to play.
I want to make a difference. and I know its impossible to change the world.

but i can change whats in the sphere of my influence.
.
So if you want to be a world changer, influence the one beside you first.

its a good start. haha :)
.
Once again. Its easier said than done.

but we can all DOB. nope not Date Of Birth. but Do our Best. haha errm right....

Okay Lets dob!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AUDACIOUS COMMITTEE

Its quite dumb cos when i finally decide to utilize the squash court at my place, its under renovation! Tsk tsk. So i went to somewhere in Serangoon to play. SIAO!

Anyways. Playing squash is all part of my maintain , keep fit + lose some extra tummy fats Plan. haha
I got Tushan to teach me how.. and Trust me. its not easy.
I still remember the last time i played it with my aunty, she gave me a huge blue black the shape of squash ball, on my thigh. hahaha.
.
Seriously.. there's so much of foot work, bending here and there, Running up and down and PICKING UP OF BALLS to be done. heh. and Tushan kept shouting, Run Run!, Lock your wrist!, Full Swing full swing!, aiyooo.. so stressful. haha
at least im getting better at it. I THINK. :)
+ i motivated Tushan to start working out again. haha.
So its more squash next week. YAY.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then we had our monthly DP meeting at delia's place. Tushan drove me down and i was so happy that i got there at like 7.30pm sharp. Only to realise that DP actually starts at 7pm and everyone was waiting for me. How dumb. haha.
after that, Some of us or in fact almost all of us, went down for lim teh and makaning. we talked, we laughed and we actually Did bond together as a DP that day. haha.
I like it that way. and i'm glad we're planning to do it more often.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When i got home, Ben and friends were already waiting for me at my place to pick me up to meet the rest at jasmine's place before we went for supper AGAIN!!!. HEH. SUPPER.
So much for playing squash, keeping fit and maintaining!

I had such an overdose of durian.

we had like 12 durians? 8 small 4 big. haha and the 3 of us GIRLs ate the most. The guys practically just sat there and watch us eat.
OHOH! One of the uncle didnt zip up his pants! and he was squatting in front us on the table. OH my goodness. haha zzz
I forgot what else happened.. but i was laughing alot. Haha.
.
and That wasnt the end. Heh.
we went down to Hong kong cafe for more late night supper that day.
Every time i eat, i eat alot. so they kept saying that i'm some 7th month ghost that came out early this year! TSK TSK haha.

ehhh i'm not that GIAN peng right??

my late night eating habits are getting out of hand heh.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today's camp comm meeting is simply hilarious.

i think i laughed for... who knows how long. haha. its crazy.
this year's Committee is truly AUDACIOUS. haha
.
Anyways..
my not so TAI TAI life will end really soonnn..

Meyer learnt a new command recently.

and that is "OUT!"
my mum uses that on him for like every 2 mins when he attempts to walk into the kitchen while she's cooking. heh
it only works when you say it really loudly. :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.
im reminded of the indescribable video that was played on one of the sunday services.

He is that BIG.

and for a BIG GOD like Him who created the universe and every living thing, He still chose to love you and I, despite the very fact that we are so so so small and so undeserving.

Indescribable.

after the video ended, a still small voice was saying, do you know how much you mean to me?

it wasnt audible la. but i knew it was Him speaking.

For the many times that i've disappointed him, felt so small, undeserving and forgotten.. i know He still loves me.

He even knows the number of hairs on my head. keeping count even as i start losing some throughout the day.

How cool is my Dad.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Staying at home alone the whole day Puts your mind into Thinking Mode.

I guess I need to stop thinking about how loserish i am and move on.
Need a breath of Fresh air.

Goodbye marty dinner.
This was before emo marty got enlisted. heh. Another one down.

anyways..Mr Tushan bought us dinner at The steakhouse! hurray! :)
It wasnt intended that it was his treat but he just decided that we didnt have to pay him back. Aww man.
So greatful. really. haha saved me like 50bucks. heh.
I'm so broke lately.

We had so much time before the movie. so we went for some light snacks, drinks and some chit chatting session at some really nice place. bla bla
and Marty bought us calamaris.
Well i calculated.. and its like $1 per ring. JIU WO. day light robbery. but nvm. dont ask so much, just eat. heh

.
OH OH! The simpsons! haha.
Its lamely funny. but i guess that the whole point of it.
I told dajie that its his kind of stupid lame show. and true enough, he liked it too.
But Stupid martin slpt throughout the show. haha

Not forgetting i saved money on transport too.
As usual Tushan picked me up and sent me home .
.
so my total spendings that day was well within my budget! :) :)
I am really so greatful. :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally i got my queen sized bed.

**jul. we dont have to slp on the sofa anymore! haha**
my mum bought for me the cheapest bed frame, cheapest mattress and the cheapest everything that we could find from Courts and ikea. haha.
.
Even my laptop, yup it's the cheapest of the cheapest range that was on DISCOUNT. haha
and not forgetting the Dog. It's Free! hahaha
Quite sad la.

but i really dont mind? money is so hard to come by.and at least im not expected to pay for my own furniture. :)
.
JUST THAT i dont understand why she gets the better stuff. like her mattress is at least 4k? (siao! what kind of mattress is so expensive. heh practically slping on gold. haha) and yes. mine is only errm 1/10 of her's. haha. Her laptop is 3k? and mine is errm 1/3 of her's.

eh. who says only child gets the best? haha.
nah. but thats not the point. My parents always gave me what i needed and nothing less. In fact more. :)
so it Doesnt matter if its the cheapest. its still something
.

my old room

ANYWAYS. i think anyone would agree that my previous room is much nicer and more youthful than the current one. (other than the ugly bed sheet that my mum bought, cos its like only $10! haha)
so why bother moving into the guest room right. tsk tsk
.

But the room is so much bigger, has an attached toilet and wardrobe space.!
the wardrobe in my previous room is less than half of what you see in the picture up there okay. My clothes cant even fit. HEH
haha.
So next step is buy some paint and start painting.
so exciting!
.
PEOPLE.. my house is available for sleepover now. :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
oO

oh oh!. the 2nd picture was taken at boat quay? (okay like anyone can tell. haha)
The ambiance there is really nice and there's this bar/pub or whatever it was, there that has a live band that plays really good cover music (Its where the White Stamford Raffles is standing)
I'm so impressed.
The lead singer sounds like Chris daughtry. WOOOO. :)
.
suddenly i'm thinking. why bother posting this two pictures when it looks practically the same. heh.
nvm. Dajie is wearing sth different. haha
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its 6! Daddy is screaming.

Goodbye.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The room seems to be spinning when i lie down.
how strange.

Let me show you the way

2007-07-24T15:47:00.000+08:00

A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS TO SAY.

OH OH! i helped a blind woman at buona vista yesterday. :) :)
She was in the station and she just couldnt make up which direction to go. I have no idea why la. cos she could only walk towards her left or right. but she kept using her stick to hit the wall infront of her. then she stood there looking so lost.

But I'm just shocked that NO ONE actually stopped to help her? Everyone just walked passed. and its not like its not obvious that the woman is blind and needed help. TSK TSK.

what is with Singaporeans nowadays.
so i walked from the other end towards her and asked if she needed help. walked her to the escalator, down the station and to the bus stop (which i have no idea where it was haha) blah blah.
.
and here's the climax of it all.

There's this irritating woman. (looks like she's from China)
I TELL YOU. she has functioning eyes but she's so blind. heh

walked right up and tripped over the blind woman's stick. the stick dropped and the blind woman almost fell (good thing she held on to me) and The woman didnt even say SORRY!
she just kept grabbing her foot, starred at the blind woman, and said "aiyo! aiyo! my leg, walk also never walk properly...tsk tsk tsk" (i mean she said it all in Chinese la).

oh my goodness. i really feel like slapping her. she didnt even help pick up the stick. just gave that kind of stupid irritating face.

then her male colleague (i assume) picked the stick up and apologised on behalf of her..
Sometimes people are just SOOOOO SLAPPABLE.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i went to visit my grandpa at the hospital again.

When he saw me, he smiled, held my hands and closed his eyes.

You could see tears welling up at the corners of his eyes. I dont know why, but i think he's just holding back.

Later, I gave him his favourite foot scratch, let him listen to some chinese christian music, and he fell asleep. So my mum and aunt went down for coffee but i decided to stay back, just to be with him.

Then i really wanted to cry too.

Its painful to see him suffer like that. But at least i know for sure where he's going when he leaves us.
------------------------------
Now, the family is deciding to put him into Hospice care, which is like $200 a day. and 30 day would come up to about $6000. and divided by 6 siblings, each would have to pay about $1000 a month, 3 months would be $3000 each.
Where to find that kind of money.
Sometime back, the Doctors said that he'll live for about 4 more months. and now its july, and doctors say he'll live for another 3 more months. Somehow, the time gets longer. haha.
.
Anyways, I dont really approve about the hospice thingy. (although my views are never taken into consideration in this family), but i just dont like the idea.

I really think my grandpa would like to stay home and be with the people he loves and not be around other sick old people who usually groan and mourn when they are in pain.

He totally understands why we would want put him into the hospice. and thats becos my grandma cant take care of him and he doesnt have a choice anyways. But i know he'd rather not be there.

my mum and all my aunties are all anticipating that he'll die in 3 months. So they "jokingly" put it that way, that if he doesnt die in 3 months, we'll have to fork out more money.
My grandpa is strong. if he can live another 4 months, i KNOW he can live for more than 3 months again. and He has the Will to live.
I know my relatives are trying to be practical. but i hate the fact that they want to put him into the hospice and start anticipating his death. Put it that way, hoping that he leaves in 3 months.

hate it hate it hate it.
Besides, i can foresee that once he's there, people would stop visiting him everyday because its so convenient, No one needs to take care of him anymore, and he'll be left there to die like in some old folks home.
-------------------------
The other alternative is that bring my grandpa back home and roster each family member to come look after him.
okay, not a bad idea. but who has got the time! and besides, its in the wee hours of the morning that he requires people to be around him just in case sth happens and not just from 6pm-9pm kinda thing.

--------------------------
I suggested that we should get a Helper. like a maid who is trained in such a way that they look after sick elderly.

less than $800 a month.

its affordable, my grandpa gets to be home, my grandma has someone to take care of the house, cook for her etc.. Why not!
my mum agrees with me, but knowing my grandma, she wouldnt want it cos she says she'll end up serving the maid instead. haha. and she's not used to an outsider in the house.
but its all about getting use to and crossing your fingers that you'll get a reliable helper.

and who knows, my grandpa has another few more months, or maybe even get healed, and the helper can still be there to take care of them.
Then everyone can still be "rostered" in a way to come visit him at least like one person a day..
--------------------------

Oh wells. no one listens to me anyways.
at least my dad has the same views as i do. so he's speaking to my aunty about it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since i'm complaining so much. i might as well say it all. haha
STUPID NUH.
If anyone is ill. pls dont go there. its negligence beyond negligence.
.
Before my grandpa found out that he had cancer, he had like tummy aches and kept vomiting. So we sent him to NUH and the doctor said there's nothing wrong, and simply gave him anti-vomiting pills.
Then another time sth happened again and we sent him there, they operated on him cos of some duno what thing la. and gave him more medicine to eat.
Then my aunt who is a nurse said sth must be wrong. Insisted that they do a full check, and FINALLY FOUND OUT THAT HE has final stage cancer.
my goodness. Right from the beginning if they would checked thoroughly, it would have been cured. And besides for someone his age, dont doctors suspect that it might be sth terminal?
.
next thing.
Doctors i believe should know best.

But they insisted that my grandpa could take it and told us that he should go for another round of Chemo.
and HO! that last chemo made his body so weak and now he's bed ridden cos his legs arent functioning anymore.
before that although my grandpa was ill. but he still could walk!
.
next thing.
they charge us for bathing, and 6 cans some liquid food which they claim to have given to my grandpa. but in actual fact, my grandpa said they didnt bath him and he only had like 2 cans of those liquid food.
we called and they refunded the money.
.
next thing.
just recently, we went and found out that his right foot was bigger than the left and his face was bigger than usual. then my aunt called the nurse and said didnt you all realise that. they said NO. okay never mind.

my aunt who knows quite abit said its because the drip dosage was too much. and its kinda bad for his heart. so we insisted that we call a doctor over to check.
Then this young chinese lady doctor came with this really QIAN DA face, gave some stupid explanation and said oh we'll send him for X ray. then my aunt was like he just went for x ray this morning! then she oh oh.. ya you're right. blah blah. then i said, dont you all read up on your patients, why are you asking us about medical stuff, like if he has had this and that.
then she wasnt too happy, she said, okay we'll do a scan.. "DOES THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY NOW?"
wah my aunt almost boxed her in the eye.

next time come ask me. i'll show you how her QIAN DA face looks like.
---------------------

SERIOUSLY. I can guarantee you that there are many many similar complaints about NUH or other government hospitals. Probably MOH covers it all up and i better not say anything before i get sued.

BUT its NEGLIGENCE! ugh.
these doctors dont have a heart for patients. they just have the brains for it.
The patients arent their family. They dont go the distance to save one's life.

IRRITATING.
NUH IS SO SLAPPABLE.

Austin, we have a problem
