Overwhelmed

2009-03-06T11:42:00.010+08:00

Am still reeling in from the shock or rather surprise. A really pleasant one from the dearies. Never did I expect that not in a million years along with collaborations with the bf and my two annoying sisters thanks to the two main masterminds Anna & Amir. It was the absolute sweetest thing ever.. this is what donkey years of friendship does for you :) A special heartfelt thanks to the dolls.. and also mural though his presence was missed.

The girls.. a pic thats customary at every gathering :P

The lovlies... and this time + the bf

The MAIN mastermind "Strawberry Shortcake" Anna who's absolutely bent on kidnapping my dear Hazel and forcing her into marriage :X

Loved the Tiffy gift or maybe I should just say.. the pretty little blue box topped with a lovely white ribbon :D

Becky Bloomwood

2009-02-22T23:08:00.003+08:00

Anticipation's over (: My absolute obessesion

Becky Bloomwood out of the books (finally!!) and onto the big screens and hopefully her other sequels to come.. 'nuff said :D

Tired

2009-02-19T19:55:00.002+08:00

Am tired of the hussle and bustle of the city life, of the crappy job, of a relationship that was once there, of maintaining the fake plastered on smile each and every day.

A one way ticket to nowhere alone or a backpacking trip would be perfect just right about now. Just to put all frustrations and relations aside and start life anew in perhaps a quiet foreign town.

If only life were a fairytale.

Liming's 'surprise' 23rd :D

2009-02-09T00:25:00.003+08:00

I LOVE us XD

Reaquaintance

2008-12-01T14:09:00.006+08:00

Feels strangely odd when you're suddenly aware of the existance of cousins, cousins you haven't heard from in years, over a decade in my case, and first cousins at that. Little tykes when we were first met and yet we never did maintain that contact for what reason I never did knew. Lost touch, no news or whatsoever and suddenly a reappearance thanks to the parents trying their luck to bump into dad at the Zoo which they eventually did a couple of days back. Not too keen on a reaquaintance as of yet as anti-social as I may sound.. feels rather awkward to be thrown into a situation as such and knowing one's a model brings lesser self assurance. Well everyone's alittle judgemental every now and then, not that I'm not proud of a family member doing well but the years apart havent made it easier. While some may be accepting others may put it as riding on their fame to success. As horrid as I may sound its pretty much a general opinion nothing for nor against. Would love to rekindle that lost relationship but knowing me it would probably take some time. Will just leave it to the drama queen little sis of mine to accomplish it, she is afterall way capable of such a task.

The little darling Ryan on the otherhand's doing great in Aussie. Moving was a good choice, being there allowance him to further expand on his capabilities. Got a note from his dad on him being nominated for some prestigious award which will be featured on chann 7 in western australia.

Am reflecting on myself. I think I messed up a tad during the childhood years, not too late to change that yet I'm feeling down. Have never been one who's too accepting of failures of any sort yet I still have no clue as where or what to venture forward for/to.

Becks what the fuck are you doing with your life?!

2008-11-19T18:54:00.002+08:00

In a nutshell, relationships are more of a curse than a blessing. Take a look around its pretty self explanatory.

Worries of a worrywart

2008-11-05T19:39:00.003+08:00

The little sister's growing up. Alittle too fast perhaps. I think I'm a tad paranoid or maybe just a worrywart.. can't help it seeing the teens these days. Am afraid of her messing up her life or getting into unneccessary trouble yet putting it through to her seems hard, she takes it so negatively that it infuriates me.

Hopefully she'll grow up soon enough to understand.. it ain't just being a parent that's hard but the eldest of the "herd" thats just as bad.

That aside, I realise time passes EXTREMELY fast and with the numerous news of weddings going around I'm freaking out. Perhaps its just the word "marriage" that strikes a fear chord somewhere within me.. this is bad.. so very bad. Selfish.. maybe but I'm contented with my current standing with a burden free load without bills to lookout for every month. At least the roof over my head's still FOC (:

Mustafa/Mustapha..?

2008-10-09T08:52:00.001+08:00

Catchy hee :)

S'pore headed for recession

2008-10-09T08:37:00.003+08:00

Title's self explanatory.. forseeing more paycuts and retrenchments and whynots.. deja vu all over again.

Recession = lower income YET rising cost of living..

Loss of words.

:D

2008-10-05T08:39:00.003+08:00

Caught the movie for the second time and have been listening to the soundtrack for the past 2 weeks yet still not sick of it :D Crazyness but I still can't get over it.

The bf and I finally having *ehem* matching phones lol cliche yes I know. My alternative to the iPhone.... Ominia. Still........ TRYING to get used to using it.. am getting so annoyed that I keep switching it back to the previous one.

Anna brought her darling Jodan on wed.. wasn't as fruitful as we imagine but a start at least?

Jodan - curious.. very curious of his surroundings and the two four legged females
Hazel - curious of Jodan yet seemingly fearful, maintaining a fierce outlook
Pebbles - interested yet laid back

Brought him over again on Sat.. both the prospective 'parents-in-law' anna and brandon came. *Touched* LOL! Situation seemed alittle better... I think? Bratty Hazel and demure Pebbles? Pebbles always being the one to be fawned over.. her quiet and gentle nature perhaps?

Anna : We should hang out this way more often...... we can keep Aloy and Brandon occupied with each other, gossip like old school days and Jodan can have a choice of his preferred female :D

Mamma Mia!

2008-09-16T21:42:00.007+08:00

A DEFINATE MUST WATCH :D

Literally grew up listening to Abba to catching the movie now. Had to drag the bf along... he wasn't too keen on it but ended up liking it anyway. This is one other show that will keep me watching it continuously... watched it today and am planning to watch it again on Sat... call it a weird obssession if you may... Meryl & Pierce... from their previous serious roles to this.. you won't regret catching this film... a remake from the original years ago. I'm a sucker for musicals...

Randomness

2008-09-14T12:50:00.004+08:00

My weekends are cursed to which I haven't the slightess idea why. I need an extra dosage of the simpsons pronto..

Its the mid-autumn festival but hell i hate mooncakes... funny since most love 'em

The words family or marriage are making lesser sense to me as the years go by. Besides the joy and celebration of a wedding.. the after effects seem more like a jail term with added burden and pressure from "additional" family members.. that I think I'd choose to do without.. afterall how many of such happy endings does one really see..?

Still I ain't giving my hopes of a Tiffany regardless of whether it comes in the form of a gift or a self bought for thy pityful self.. diamonds are afterall a girl's best friend...?

Random thoughts clouding my mind on a lazy Sunday afternoon *yawns*

Time to get up and get going and be alil' more self centred for once..

Impulsiveness got me to sign up for a 3 month subscription of mobtv yet again.. I ain't got much time to watch it 'cept on my lazy off days.. oh well at least I'll have Adrian Pang in his "nai ba" role to cheer me up for now.

**Liming.. now I can safely miss the episodes.. no more tv hogging haha you can drag me out anytime**

Derrick Barry... you've so gotta love him...

Dramamamaness

2008-09-14T10:24:00.002+08:00

From the annoying little brat who irritates the hell outta me with every spare moment of her life to the irritant who shares the room with me, nevertheless irritating me all the same like in that of her younger years to an elegant and talented young lady (though still pesky).

A first outta the two years of hers at NAFA that I threw aside all procastination of mine and caught a play of hers...finally and I'm glad I did. Work was crappy, had a really bad day and the play wasn't my top priority yet the last thing I wanted was to disappoint her... with the much preparation and efforts put into it. I saw a different side of her which I've probably turned a blind eye to all these years and clearly she enjoyed herself, being the "drama-mama" she is she's proven her course to be well suited for her maybe cause... indian blood mahhhhh runs in the blood dei the drama-mamaness LOL! **Not being racist hor.. how to be when we ourselves are part of the race.."white indians" or rather "yellow indians" for that matter *grins* **

And I do miss a classmate of hers.. Fortu.. who has grown on me despite that short period she stayed over, a pot of rainbow overflowing with cheery-ness.

****************************************************

And I finally saw my darling son-in-law Jodan. Anna was right.. he has that downright mischievous look in his eyes YET at the same time enticing you to pick him up and cuddle him.. dogs have this ability that disallows you to stay pissed with them for long.. a very useful trait indeed, now.... if only that were applicable to us humans :)

Our 5th year..... :)

2008-08-27T22:10:00.015+08:00

Took a 4 day leave.. a well deserved one if I may add :)

Travelling far wasn't on our agenda.. took the bf to Sunset Grill & Pub @ Singapore Flying Club. A nice laid back place right at the heart of Seletar airbase. Yeap a simple dinner to celebrate our 5th year this time round in comparision to the previous extravagant ones. I liked the place. Simple, laid back and a really nice place to just sit back and chill.. away from all the hustle and bustle of the city. Location was meant to be a surprise as we cabbed down but the darn driver just had to spoil it when he lost his way.. oh well.. the only down side for the day was the pick up. Called comfort for the 4th time before driver actually managed to locate us. That aside everything was a-okay.

A very blurred shot of the runway...

What can I say... I still love my steaks... despite my "determination" to abstain from them haha.. Vonn, you'll love them

Reservations would be adviced. :)

Had a short trip to Malaysia with the cousin as well which I must say was pretty enjoyable. Its been eons since we last hung out before she gave birth *grins* :D

And lastly pictures of my darling niece.. Jesny's daughter. Am finally starting to spend more time with her. The little doll's over a year old now.. takes after her mum not only in looks but her energetic and playful behaviour.

Jes was amazed that she even posed and waited still I got her pic... a rarity of hers haha. This little girl just oozes sweetness.

xxx

2008-08-19T22:13:00.002+08:00

As bimbotic as the blog is becoming, I'd rather it as such rather then pouring out my heart, whims and woes... some stuff I would rather keep personal.. so be it if no one knows.. all the better ain't that so?

Been spending mucho time at the cuz's.. Jesny to be exact. Her little girl's the most precious little one ever.. makes Steph want a baby of her own too...haha well as long as she doesn't go kidnapping the little tykes at work *grins* Thinking back it didn't seem too long ago where we used to have sleep overs and late nights without the slightest responsibility and now she's a proud mommy with a huge responsibility. As much as I miss those carefree days I love her little girl all the same.. the way she dances and imitates KungFu Panda, it never fails to bring a smile to one's face.

A'ways.. met Amir for lunch..or rather he made his way over to the horrendously busy CBD. The lunch crowd must have freaked him out.. a 30 minute queue ain't a joke. Hun, time to get used to it.. you'll be joining the workforce soon LOL!

Am thinking of where to take the bf tmr.. love surprises, love giving one more :) Hard to imagine 5 years have passed.. now I've successful made myself feel a whole lot older.

Looking forward to my long weekend break.. a much deserved one if I may add :D

Kentang girl

2008-08-10T00:34:00.003+08:00

"Kantang/Kentang" (however its spelt) girl wants to move to Aussie. A rather irrational reason if I may add... to simply join the cousins and a society whereby you're surrounded by say...99% of the population who communicate in english? No more "errs and ahhs" or getting stuck trying to figure out the proper translations of words to mandarin.

Working @ this current location has literally forced me into speaking mandarin.. and within that mere span of 5 months... more mandarin words have come out of this mouth of mine then it has ever been throughout the rest of my 22 years put together.. though I do pick up a couple of useful mandarin words or phrases every now and then thanks to the surrounding colleagues. English heavily peppered into my "mandarin" sentences when I speak.. its not a matter of unprofessionalism but rather one of the inevitable.

And kentang FYI was something the girls cooked up for me with memories of me replying in english as opposed to mandarin. Despite knowing this lovely group of ladies for almost a decade of my life I can almost safely guarantee that my horrendous mandarin has yet to or rather never reach their ears. *grins*

Why couldn't I have been enrolled for Spanish instead.. SIGH!

Love,
Miss Kentang/Potato

Special dedication

2008-08-06T21:53:00.004+08:00

A couple of my favourite kids programmes back when I was a little tyke :)

I kinda doubt most would remember this, Lamb chops play along..... I used to LOVE this show. The cute little lamb who does somewhat seems alittle creepy now.. ahh I guess its just that getting used to part..?

And of course my all time fave 'Sesame Street' :) And Groover the goofball of the sesame street crew... I'm wondering if Miss Swan got her inspiration from him...

As much as I adore Sesame Street, they don't quite make it like how they used to in the past where it WOULD have catered to both the young and old.. sadly its become a tiny bit of a bore as compared to their past programmes.. nevertheless... I love them all the same.

Crumpy

2008-07-29T21:07:00.002+08:00

Got an advanced 5th yr anni gift for the bf. Took alsty's advice on getting the limited ed version as its "not as common" as he puts it **thanks hor hun i'm using the common one... commoner mah** ):

Got him the red cuz I am oh soooo drawn to red.. am now soooo tempted to get another myself.

Anyhoos

Mananged to get the ever so exclusive Alston Tan to meet up with Vonn and Aier before Vonn left for Aussie.. great co horrid food.. managed to catch "Dark Knight" with the hun too.

Blogging's becoming a chore, am so getting crappier by the minute.

Steak issues

2008-07-13T00:49:00.005+08:00

Been "steaking" with Vonn....ALOT. She had some serious steak craving issues to settle :)

Steaks for every dinner meetup we had... and as much as I adore steaks.. they'll be off my menu for a pretty substantial period of time..

Twice @ Dempsey's Hut, once @ Indulgez and the other @ Buckeroos.... Buckeroos faring the worst... the priciest of the three and not to mention the worst tasting.. between the range of $32 - $45 for the slab of meat I would have expected a much better standard.. lesson learnt... not stepping foot back there...EVER. Dempsey's Hut served up the best of the lot.. a quiet, laid back location coupled with a lovely ambience and very reasonable pricing... thanks to Vonn for the recommendation.

Demsey's Hut - $25-$30/person - steak done to perfection, medium well, just the way I like it

Indulgez - $30++/person - so-so, a tad overdone

Buckeroos - $50/person - tasteless, medium rare.. bloody in short.. major disappointment.. so much for the raves about this place.

Nothing much worth updating 'cept the usual... am desperately in need of entertainment and excitement in my life.

Sentosa

2008-06-25T23:07:00.020+08:00

A way overdue update, Sentosa trip with hubs.. to 'commemorate' our 57th month.. sounds pretty secondary school-ish doesnt it haha

I found my new love.... stingrays (: And now I'm tempted to keep one.. hand feeding them's fun as I recently discovered... the many wasted years.. sigh

Loved 'Fish Reflexology'.. fish spa + foot massage... heaven. And not to mention the size of the fishes there... an african breed as quoted by the staff.. probably 5 times the size of the ones @ 'Nibbles'... definately way more enjoyable and relaxing as compared to the one at Qianhu and Nibbles... for one the place is peaceful and relaxing and there's no one to constantly yap, pressurising to to sign up for their packages every 5 minutes. Well worth the price too. Just be prepared for the extremely ticklist sensation.

Cliche but still... me likes hahaha

Dinner by the sea.... ultimate bliss... (:

Grins

2008-06-25T22:54:00.006+08:00

This is probably the updates my "Britney" impersonator wanted (:

Met up for lunch and dragged the monkey boy to a *gasp* unexpected place, 'Toys R Us" every kid's dream place. We have to relive our childhood at some point or the other... right? At least I managed to capture a shot of happiness, a geniune one (though he's so gonna kill me for putting this up). Got introduced to his two darling friends who are I must say gurus in maintaining their looks.. or rather youth haha.

That pretty much sums it up..

My dearest I updated already hor!

Love / Lust

2008-06-11T21:54:00.004+08:00

Love is bullshit, lust is real.

Hence the saying "In lust we trust". Sex sells no explaination required.

Fairytales are misleading, at least it paints a pretty picture of something that we can dream of but never attainable.

I wanna go back to being a kid. One where no worries existed, when everything was simple, when the greatest and genuine love u got were from the parents, when life was planned and laid all out for you, when all your worries were based on homework deadlines, when school holidays were what you could look forward to and when xmas meant surprises and fun. I miss that life, don't we all? Yet its but a faraway dream, one I can never be in again.

Bother

2008-06-08T13:27:00.003+08:00

Plans made flushed right down the toilet. Yet again. I wonder why I even bother.

At times I think moving to Aussie (or eslewhere even) would be a much better choice, to just throw all aside and start everything anew there. A whole different city, a whole different bunch of people. Why am I still not budging...? Held back? Ties? Are they even worth?

I'm sick of having to accomodate and have my plans shoved aside. Plain sick. 'Nuff said.

Boredom

2008-06-04T23:20:00.003+08:00

Yet again the feeling of deja vu kicks in. 4 months into the job and already I'm dreading each day, same old office same old routine. Clearly I'm not suited for an office environment. SIGH. I need something with a tad more excitement and one whereby situations are unpredictable. Perhaps one that doesn't restrain you and bound you to the sickening four walls each and every day. Offices are a bore really though I am willing to make sacrifices for a MORE THEN mediocore pay cheque *ahem*

The job's draining the life outta me.. literally. Just like two years back.. same old feeling, same old dread. How do people stay on... a question that has been bugging me throughout.

Sex In The City

2008-06-03T23:06:00.007+08:00

Loved 'Sex In The City'.. a comedy yet it tells tales of friendship and love. Tearjerking moments in the midst of it all. One film thats definately worth watching. And Samantha Jones... a true blue feminist who knows what she wants and goes out to get it. Definately not your stereotypical woman. Love her. One lady with tons of confidence.

The penthouse and walkin closet... man........... a dream come true.. if only................. no actually I do want one.. the closet part if not the penthouse.. and have been yearning for one for eons.

Best watched with the girls though I did drag the boyfriend along to watch it instead. I'm a sucker for such films, sue me. :)

On a side note... I think trying too much can lead to somewhat of a bad thing.. call it a woman's intuition maybe I'm a tad sensitive but I'm almost never wrong...

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

2008-05-30T23:23:00.003+08:00

Friends are those who stick by you through thick or thin. One can't expect that of every person they come across but to be thankful for the handful you have. In my case they'd be my lovlies from Nbss anna, lm, jas, shiya, the ex darling singtel mates I hang with vonn, ju, aier, alston, the two cheeky people I know Eric and Azera, the bf and my lovely cuzzies mon and stef. Just the few I wanna mention who have made a difference in my live..

Dinner date with Alston and Aier though short was fruitful. In friendship its not the amount of time spent that brings joy but the moments we go through. In cases as such not much has to be said to let the other know they're treasured.

This is strangely out of topic but I'd date Beyonce in a heartbeat if I were a guy. I'm thinking full figured but shapely ladies who definately know how to accentuate their curves. Think Tyra Banks, Beyonce Knowles and Jennifer Lopez. Yummy!

And like they say diamonds ARE indeed a girl's best friend *hint* *hint* :P

Anna's precelebration

2008-05-19T01:31:00.010+08:00

A little get together for a pre-birthday celebration for Anna dearest (:

A simple lunch @ Sushi Tei and 5 friendship rings for the darling.. well okay 1 for the each of us actually... a pity Shiya couldn't make it though..

Followed by a "wii" session at my place. Felt like the "good ol' days"... yesteryear all over.. hard to believe that we've known and stuck to each other for almost a decade. 9 years to be exact. Friends as such are meant to be kept by your side and held close to the heart. Despite the busy work and school schedules.. efforts to meetups though not much are the bare essentials to keep the friendship going. I love these girls.

*The words engraved on the rings, '99... the year we met (:

** As they say... a picture speaks a thousand words.

Anna & her bf.. Anna's OBSESSED with the pups LOL!

Patrick Demspey

2008-05-19T01:15:00.004+08:00

Patrick Dempsey. What can I say.

Age MOST definately did this guy justice.. now if only that were the case of us "normal" beings...

HOTNESS :)

Am no longer into the cutesy teen boopers baby faced little guys but kept definately moved up a couple of notches to the... well mature crowd. Looks like shiya and me are in the same boat now.

With that being said, loved "Made Of Honour" despite the magazines giving it a miserable rating of 2 stars. Yes the plot's pretty similar to "The Runaway Bride" but still you gotta admit the Patrick Dempsey OOZES charisma and the pair, both him and Michelle Monaghan do make a pretty good couple with their screen chemistry. :)

No linkage here but another must watch is "What Happens In Vegas", Ashton Kutcher as the lead, 'nuff said.

Broadway Beng 3

2008-05-17T00:47:00.005+08:00

Broadway Beng 3 was de BOMB!!!!

Caught the play earlier over @ the National Library with the cuz and sis. Sebastian Tan is one heck of a hilarious dude and not to mention a really nice guy at that and did I forget to add, Singapore's very own resident beng. A mixture of broadway musical, geitai and standup comedy all rolled into one. 50% of the show was pretty much in hokkien.. thank goodness for my understanding of the lauguage.. its not anywhere near prefect but probably somewhere say......60%? Many thanks to the mum, grans, bf and the lovely bengs and lians out there I was afterall once part of that so-called notorious helluva school, Naval Base Sec.

Dream Academy is fantastic... never once have they let me down with their performances. Their productions is no doubt one of the best.. **TWO THUMBS UP**

Harold and Kumar

2008-05-02T22:14:00.003+08:00

I so friggin' ADORE Harold and Kumar with their never ending kookiness and the way they never fail to get into as just as easily outta trouble and no doubt about it but would would forget the boob feast throughout the show and the 'latest' bottomless party. These two are the bomb :) Love Kumar's ditzyness and Harold's ummmmmm cool and calm demure...? Their never ending supply of weed which is somehow the catastrophe of it all. And not forgetting John Cho with his boyish charm. The americans are indeed liberal and by that I meant politically... where esle can you get away with poking fun at your government? Freedom of speech yeap they really do mean what they say and with that comes my admiration.

Senseless ramblings

2008-04-27T10:26:00.008+08:00

Things are begining to take its toil on me. Feels like I'm holding two jobs at once... one being your usual 9 - 5 job and the other being dad's somewhat secretary of somesort which I kinda help him out with back home... tedious but don't want him being stressed out with his reports and such... just being stretched alittle and classes on top of that.. at times I want to just get away from it all yet guilt sets in.

Am pretty interested in dad's biz though.. I wouldn't deny my love for animals though I know nuts about the training.. I wouldn't wanna be clawed by a tiger would I? Is my course even related..? As much as I want to be involved with animals.. fallback plans are a must.. animal industry in Sg? Where esle but the Zoo.

That aside.. met Bryan after a gazillion months. Has a cute toy poodle which I so adore (and am so comtemplating getting another which mum's so gonna have my neck for). Dogs just seem to have this irritating yet adorable side to them which forbids you to hate them.. that I know for sure.. just look at my two monkeys and you'll agree :)

Dearest little Ethan.. I so wanna bring him home LOL!

Not forgetting my two lovable ding-dongs

And the cousin's two playful ones.. yes we're a family of crazed dog lovers :P

P.S : Hubs dearest when exactly will be getting the pup you promised eons ago..????

Oh and right mum's 45th birthday :) Got her a single sunflower stalk coupled with a cake and gifts from the body shop to pamper herself with. Was nice to see her smiling and forgetting stuff meant to be shoved into a condemed cupboard and never to be retrieved.

To Anna darling.. kudos on getting your first tattoo and.... more to come haha its an addiction trust me on that I believe you're already thinking up your next.

To a friend who literally disappeared on me a couple of months back... welcome back.. you've been missed. :)

Little wiz

2008-04-20T21:42:00.006+08:00

My darling cuz Ryan on the Sunday Times - Perth. I gotta say I am indeed VERY proud of him. Bursting with pride and this overwhelming feeling. A wiz at chess..pure genius and embarrassing as it is.. I'm not even at beginners level..... yes tsk tsk... I see many frowning in disapproval I'm more then half his age yet..........anyway that aside, his dad and mum must be grinning from ear to ear at this, well even I am :D

Who wouldn't..? The youngest player amongst all... was in awe the very first time I saw him compete in Perth in a room of adults.... this kid will never cease to amaze me. Impeccable skills and language to boot.

Young player shows his mastery of the board

SMART COOKIE: Ryan Sam, 10, the under 18 state chess champion. Picture: Richard Hatherly

Braden Quartermaine

April 19, 2008 05:00pm

WA is bursting with ultra-talented pint-sized chess players, led by 10-year-old whiz-kid Ryan Sam.

Ryan, a Year 5 student at Canning Vale Primary School, stunned onlookers this week when he took out the under-18 division at the WA Junior Chess Championships.

Taught the game by his father when he was five, Ryan dreams of becoming a chess grandmaster. He said he was not daunted taking on much older players, but was surprised to win. "I like it because of the strategical thinking and tactics,'' he said.

His father, Raymond Sam, said Ryan's success was driven by his love of the game.

WA Chess Association president and former champion Haydn Barber said he first noticed Ryan when he played in an adult tournament at the age of eight. "His play was very original and it was obvious that he had great potential,'' Mr Barber said.

Mandarin

2008-04-16T23:24:00.006+08:00

Having to answer mandarin calls is a pain in the ass. Pure evil I tell you............... having to go through that 4 TEDIOUS step procedure on a daily basis...

Step 1 : Listening in mandarin
Step 2 : Translating the entire convo back to english
Step 2 : Thinking of a reply in english
Step 4 : TRYING to translate in back into mandarin to relate to the caller

Like stumbling over the words ain't enough english is basically being "subtly" injected into the convo..

HELP!

I'm starting to think that this language is all out to kill.... me anyway.

As what Lm, Jas, Shiya and Anna call me... your typical "kentang" or "potato" if you please. At times like this I kinda wished I had alittle more mandarin incorporated into my life.

No wonder the uncle decided to move the entire family to Aussie... the lucky lucky kids...... :(

'Hua Yu' cool? Hmmm somehow I beg to differ....

Randomness

2008-04-15T23:16:00.004+08:00

Flowers wither and die after a couple of days but I most certainly do not deny them, even that one single stalk, in making one's day :)

Magic Crystal Ball..?

2008-04-08T12:28:00.003+08:00

This was introduced by the bf and though I'm so not a fan of them taiwanese talk shows, I gotta agree that this guy is amazing. He is somehow able to create the illusion of the crystal ball floating...

Conformity

2008-04-08T11:48:00.002+08:00

Chanced upon a series while channel sufing on the telly which is now becoming a rare moment.. no longer a couch potato? Haha

Can't quite remember the exact title of the series but its pretty much about the minds of criminals and how their minds work or rather how scientists and psychologists deem so through the many methods of testing with modern technology, interviews with the convicts and with the help of test subjects.

The intriguing thing though would be the power of conformity which exists subtly in our every day lifes. A seemingly simple word that can change even the quietest, innocent bookworm into a criminal of somesort or in the case of the show, murderers.

Conformity in its way, whether good or bad, influences people through ways such as peer pressure being the devil. Conformity "forces" one into agreeing with the majority for fear of being ostracized.. and the strong desire of fitting in that it changes mindsets subtly or even through unconscious processes. One of such situation being when a situation is ambiguous and people are uncertain about what to do they are more likely to depend on others for the answer and they come to believe that these "others" are in fact providing the right answers... I suppose this can be applied in the case of the terrorists inwhich most are pretty delusional in my opinion no longer being able to judge for themselves and no longer being able to tell right from wrong.

That aside, am contemplating doing a degree in international tourism and hotel management instead, talk about being fickle. Then again, that would open up a vast field especially with the up coming IRs and whatnots.. that would be another consideration in my fickle minded list. Theatre though facinating is clearly not cut out for me and mass comms though the dip's done there's no harm in venturing out in another field now is there esp since I can use that as a stepping stone to this other deg no wastage of time here but perhaps alittle of of maturity kicking in knowing the bigger prospects coming from the latter.

Can't Leave or rather.... "Ken Lee"

2008-03-29T18:20:00.003+08:00

Though I do get a kick outta watching this, I admire her guts and determination... belting out an english song when she obviously couldn't grasp the language... no mockery here.. she does have a strong determination.

Realities

2008-03-23T13:50:00.004+08:00

With greater expectations comes big disappointments. I wouldn't deny it holding a certain truth. A person once close said to enjoy and do the silliest things we shall and look back and reminise when we're old, wrinkled and greying. To laugh about these little things we'd do during the younger years. I do have my doubts on this ever happening.. not everything lasts forever but then again only time can tell.

Reality can sometimes be a pain in the neck.

:)

Twenty two and counting

2008-03-18T00:05:00.005+08:00

With age comes wisdom they say.. yet I'm dreading birthdays more with each passing year. The thought of growing old scares me.. time seems to be moving fast... a pace in which I'm trying to accept.

Anyhoos,

Been busy @ work and far too lazy to blog. I think with age comes laziness's more like it (:

Settled for dinner and movie on the birthday itself both treats from hubs. Good enough considering I had work on that very day and despite mum being busy with work and the two lil' sisters with school they managed to squeeze time for a mini celebration at believe it or not 11pm with a lovely cake in which I managed to blow out the candles and cut the cake before splonking onto the bed, snoring away.

Dinner with my babes for a post birthday celebration last weekend @ a Jap restaurant and yet again dinner on friday with azera, eric and of course the darling bf (:

The usual angbaos from mum, dad and grans. A hoodie from the sis, perfume from my babes and a lovely bracelet from lee hwa from the bf.

Am far too lazy to upload 'em pictures... will probably do so.... soon? Or is this just another case of procastination? LOL!

Loved 'The Leap Years'... I have all along liked Wong Lilin and it did help that there was a mega eye candy in the show... Asia's alternative to Orlando Bloom, Ananda Everingham... I'm so having the hots for him haha. I feel like a silly teen booper again. An oh-so-sweet show... now... if only everyone had that fairy tale story to tell about their very lifes.. sweet ain't it.. but well life ain't a bed of roses... earth to becks *SIGH!*

The big D

2008-03-02T01:57:00.005+08:00

Sincerity.. it only presents itself at two points in a relationship. At the start and when the other party finally realises something after failing to do so throughout and shamelessly tries to salvage it not knowing the hypocritisy in doing so. In some cases.. there isn't even the salvaging.

Divorce cases being on the rise? Pretty inevident actually. Just look around you I doubt there are many that would even hit that golden 50 years of marriage much less that insignificant 25. Negativity? I can't be blamed. Marriages are starting to strike me as jail terms. Life long ones.

If not even the littlest time or effort can be made at the begining all that awaits is the big "D" at the end cause salavaging something that was not even treasured in the begining is pure hypocritisy. Leads one to think how significant that other half even was.

Am not even anticipating the birthday. A bore really. Signs of aging.

A new job, not anticipating it either. Just pay day.. when it hasn't even been day one. Just as well at esle there's something useful to occupy my time with. Perhaps a trip at the end of the year with Vonn and Aier.... HOPEFULLY.

** I miss lunching with Anna during those 4 days at HSBC as a temp.. hated comtech.. the location actually.. but at least I got to see dear ol' anna.. brings back memories of NBSS :)

Blank thoughts

2008-02-22T13:53:00.004+08:00

I can't fathom how some guys can be absolutely insensitive jerks. It takes one to know one. Someone enlighten me.

That aside, caught the Dim Sum Dollies - History of Singapore again, with the sis this time. A re-run of last year's show sometime last year. Despite it being the second time, was still great could tell the lil' sis enjoyed herself. Show's still going on till the 28th a must watch (:

Judee and Vonn are back in Perth. Will miss them both esp Vonn whom I've been hanging out with pretty often during this trip back.. finally met her mom too.. sweet and friendly though we've never spoken till the day at the airport. I guess she takes after her mom's character just that she tends to laugh.....ALOT MORE (: Will have to wait till their return again.. I guess Yishun dam's out of my itinerary for the moment.

Vday

2008-02-17T21:58:00.005+08:00

Vday = Dinner + Movie + Gifts.

Managed to book the tix online even then the slots were practically full didnt get to watch my choices and settled for CJ7, I know.. mandarin show so very unlikely, show was pretty alright though a touching one towards the end and the cj7 thingamajig was pretty adorable. Was a nice change to be at Vivo instead of town this year, had dinner at a Thai restuarant where the rice was thoughtfully served in the shape of a heart. A perfect location coupled with a lovely ambience facing the sea, deck view.

Got him a fragrance from Salvatore Ferragamo and got the LG Viewty in exchange not a fair exchange I must say haha (you don't mind do you hubs :) life of a uh poor student) the gift came at a PERFECT timing, the U600 just had to die on me a couple of days after the lunar new year leaving me in a plight whereby I could only answer calls and nothing more and had to settle for one of dad's old phones and I do mean OLD which took some getting used to.

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

CNY was alright. The usual visitation stuff and whatnots. Oranges and angbaos *grins* have yet to collect the most important one from dad as he had an o/seas assignment he IS due back in Sg today though. Got a huge packet from my cuzzie wasn't expecting one from him as he's not married but still haha imagine the grin plastered on my face.. I do admit the circumstances have made the entire group of us closer.. monica being in Melbourne for a whole year and all that led to us spending quality time together when she got back a couple of months back, who else can to rely on if not the family.

I know I'm NOTICABLY shorter then the younger sis... would rather not receive comments.. its no wonder most think of me as being the younger one.

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

Spent Mon's bday over at her place, got her a mug and made a collage with some purchases from an art store. Had a mini pre-birthday celebration for Liming over lunch at the Soup Kitchen with the girls. Got her a top which I kinda gave at the wrong timing.. haha the lunch was supposed to be some surprise. And I finally passed Shiya her gift which was wayyyyyyyyyy overdue. Hoped the dress fits and came in handy for vday? :P

P.S: Uh amir we'll ask you out the next time haha a date with my wii and the girls a pretty good deal huh? Games + girls. :D

Maid abusing infant

2008-02-06T14:32:00.000+08:00

The title pretty much speaks for itself.. relentlessly torturing the helpless little infant.

F.U.C.K

2008-02-06T12:32:00.000+08:00

Got this from Jer's blog now we know how the word came about LOL! Humourously crappy

In ancient England a person could not have sex unless you had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family). When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King; the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had F.U.C.K. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it. Now you know where that came from.

Taiwanese "celebrities" critizing our english???

2008-02-06T11:46:00.000+08:00

I agree on being a tad late on hearing of this.

Taiwanese so called celebrities commenting on our standard of the english language. Simply preposterous.... irked the hell outta me when I saw the report on the papers.. watch this vid and you'll get what I mean.

The nerve.. not thinking through before shooting their mouths off.. oh wait.. is that tiny speck I spot.... a brain? I agree to a certain extend that not the entire population is able to speak in proper sentences perhaps the older generation but at least they are able to grasp the language and trying to comprehend it in some way or another to communicate with the kids and grandkids and so on. I'm in "awe" of their PERFECT articulation of the english language... NOT. So a couple of them are able to speak decently whats a handful compared to the entire nation? Try grabbing a couple of them on the streets... english? I wonder. My guess is that we would have a tremendously hard time comprehending them instead. I can as a matter of fact, easily gather people on the streets of our tiny island and have a majority being able to speak perfect english with good if not perfect articulation. These "celebs" which I do not even know off should stop being delusional and start gather their facts and not grade Singaporeans because a minority. In fact.. the pronounciation on their programme itself is overrated and simply unheard of. Not forgetting the "pregnant" lady in black who is as she declares an english teacher.. well I welcome her with open arms to our humble little isle to teach our pupils our MAIN language, well she IS capable isn't she?

Please stop further embarrassing yourselves on national tv.. have never taken a liking to such taiwanese progs and never would.. even more now. Thank goodness for the ever so comical if not entertaining talk show hosts Ellen Degeneres, Oprah and Tyra Banks.. three of which are rated tops on my list... at least there's no senseless poking fun at.

My abhorrence against them Taiwanese celebs some if not all will lead to major boycotting of their stupid senseless little shows..

I think I'm getting alittle too worked up over this -.-"

Chesty Nutty Bang Bang

2008-01-26T01:33:00.000+08:00

A long and tiring day has once again drawn to a close. Caught "Chesty Nutty Bang Bang : Hairspray Of The Phoenix" earlier @ the National Library. Thanks to both the little sis and Joakim for the invite and discounted pricing. A pretty friendly cast.. mingling with the audiences after the show.. a whole different feel from the other plays I've ever been to... this.. somehow generates more warmth... no airs at all.

Love theatre productions and parodies and this is the first live parody I've seen... the rest of the parodies being those on youtube (e.g. Weird Al) or those on the big screens. Gotta say that the play was pretty humourous with their witty lyrics and quirky antics. A true blue Singapore production as can be seen with lines peppered with bits of malay, hokkien and mandarin, portraying yet again a diversed and multi-racial society, one that we live in.

I just I might have appeared alittle aloof to the little sister's friends... its been a long day.. my apologies.. energy drainage.. drains the fun side of a person. Anyway with that being said... the show is highly recommended... a couple more slots before the end on the 3rd Feb.. if possible please give it a go guaranteed to leave you wanting more. :)

The course in theatre arts seems pretty appealing... should I have opted for that instead of Mass comms............................ regrets regrets and more regrets..?

On a different note...I FINALLY got to meet Judee after eons... its been a whole year since I last saw her and that was when I sent both her and Vonn off at the airport... the same ol' Judee who till now maintains that she bearly heard a single word of mandarin coming outta my mouth ever since day one haha. Was fun hanging out with the 3 lovely EX-Singtel babes in sunny Malaysia... and can I just add that the movie pricings there are hard to ignore? (at RM6 per show... who can resist?)

Anyway... its off to snooze land for me :)

Blank....stare... blank

2008-01-18T10:59:00.000+08:00

Still comes the age old problem... racism in society and in this case sunny Singapore itself. Accompanied mum to NDC for her dental checkup and "waddled" over to Chinatown then after.. somehow I still do feel a tiny bit ostracized there.. especially by the older folks tending to the stalls there.. as you know I'm not of a pure race so there. Reminded me of mum and her siblings.. being ostracized by her own relatives at a young age for being a mixed as they considered her "impure". Mindsets of the elderly ARE indeed hard to change... though there are a handful of the younger generation who tend to behave the same way... not the friends or classmates or colleagues but a "step-cousin's" wife.. hopefully she doesn't impart the wrong values to her adorable little boy. Still I gotta say I'm proud of my race (though I don't quite fancy touring the streets of Little India) and hey granddad's an authentic indian from India and I'm proud of it... and no I still do not understand tamil.

Charice Pemengco

2008-01-18T10:43:00.000+08:00

Another young talent with an amazing voice... Charice Pempengco (Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco) from the Philippines... credits to Gabs... kids nowadays... I wonder.... lovely voices.. its only a matter of time that Britney and Christina and the likes bid a sad au revoir and allow these budding young singers to take the reigns.

Charice featured on the Ellen Degeneres show.... on a side note... she's one of my all time fave talk show hosts followed by Tyra Banks :)

Amazing young talents

2008-01-09T00:54:00.000+08:00

Amazing young talents.. the first one for instance, Connie Talbot... a six year old (7 this year) with a beautiful voice and perfect pitch... one that puts most.. even adults to shame.. makes me wonder how a person can actually have the "courage" to proudly declare to the world that they CAN in fact sing... in case you're wondering.. I'm talking about the American Idol competition.. those literally dragged or chased out of the audition rooms due to the awful singing.. I'm no singer myself but at least I don't sing praises of myself... just be wowed at this little angel's talent :)

Somehow this song just brings back fond memories.. the first song I ever learnt.. taught by my godfather who would each day strum on his guitar while getting me to sing along to it... and now he's miles away in Aussie with the lovely family..

And this next one is a 7 year old body builder, Richard Sandrak (aka Little Hercules)... with a body that not even most men have... for curiousity's sake... I would like to interview the parents.. what was even going thtough their minds when they decided to put their kid through such gruelling training methods.. fame? or fortune? or just plain sick..?

Happy 2008 :)

2008-01-08T20:00:00.000+08:00

Late but nevertheless a happy 2008 to all :)

ahh no relations but.... haha

Been far too lazy to switch the lappy on much less update. Had a different sorta celebration this year.. a much... quieter one though it was pretty alright trying something new for a change enjoying the lovely breeze down at Changi beach along with Vonn, Aier and Rach.. with the new year comes new experience(s)?

Yet another new toy... the Nintendo Wii *mega grins* thanks to baby for carrying it all around earlier today.... I think I'm starting to sound like a bum... a couch potato of somesort lazing around and all haha lets hope Aier darling manages to get me the job :P Not quite keen on something permanent as of yet..

Fish Spa

2007-12-30T22:45:00.001+08:00

My first visit to Nibbles located right at the heart of "Cheenatown" ahem Chinatown :)

Rating : 7/10

The experience was something really new.. having little "doctor fishes" nibbling away at your dead skin.. ticklish's the word.. certainly got vonn and aier tickled pink. Lovely decor and a cosy interior that gets you all relaxed once you step in the downside though.. they didn't have much variety in lacquer colors and just in one brand, Essie... would have prefered OPI and what I wouldn't quite call top notch skills.. pretty mediocre if you ask me.. other than that.. A-Okay, would have preferred english speaking staff though :P

Next up, fish spa @ Qianhu Fish Farm :D

Merry Xmas

2007-12-25T15:41:00.000+08:00

A very Merry Christmas to all.... Happy holidays people :D

Carols, turkey, presents, smiles and wishes galore.. I simply adore x'mas.. it brings about a certain unexplainable warmth somehow.. especially when you spot a smile on someone's face when they open a gift from you. Its pretty much inevitable that I'm almost downright broke from the xmas shopping but the smiles just make up for it. Not forgetting the sweetest gifts from both family and friends.. the only downpour this season is catching the flu bug. 'Neways.. xmas parties are the ultimates, yet another this evening.. I hope and pray that there's no turkey this time :D

Crimson & Black

2007-12-21T23:54:00.000+08:00

Another advanced xmas gift aka new toy courtesy of baby :) You've so gotta love this color. What can I say... I love my gadgets.

Am so addicted to Ace Attorney as for now :)

Thanks a mil hubs. The psp shall be ignored for a tiny bit while I spend some time with my precious.

The fairer sex

2007-12-13T03:40:00.000+08:00

Have always believed that the fairer sex can fare just as well in any aspect as compared to her male counterpart. A feminist? Maybe so. Being viewed as the weaker sex and nothing more then just "trophies", "conquests", "childbearers" and wifes aka willing slaves since the begining of time, the fairer sex were never given their due respects but often belittled... then again don't the womenfolk deserve more credit by society.. its thank goodness I live in the modern generation where issues as such DO exist but perhaps alittle more discreet and a time when mindsets changes and transforms societ into a more gender-equitable place.

In fact, why go against the law of nature when nature itself suggests that females are in fact, the superior sex. Which then again leaves me thinking... why do females (some at least) still subject themselves to such treatment... its time they too took a standing, I don't see why a guy can't handle childcare and household chores when a lady is able to juggle both work and family all the same. Equality's the main thing... (*hints* hubs ehem.. a VERY subtle hint for the near future? :P )

1. We dont have our important bits hanging out where anyone can kick it.

2. In every ant and bee colonies there is a Queen ant and a Queen bee, but never a 'King" bee. The males are just mindless drone workers.

3. males are physically stronger for this reason. To protect the more important females.

4. We give life to these ungrateful little assholes.

5. If women called the shots everywhere, there would be no war and poverty.

Sony NW-A806

2007-12-12T01:09:00.000+08:00

Happy pill

2007-12-11T02:21:00.000+08:00

Vonn's my new happy pill :)

Been hanging out with her and aier much more now... now that she's back for her summer break anyway. Love her impulsiveness and midnight drives to nowhere...... so when are you gonna get inked babeeee? I believe that I'm way more anxious then you.. more anxious and anticipating it then when I got mine... lol. Hurry with the decision already :)

Anyway caught 'The Heartbreak Kid' with hubs... love Ben Stiller.. wouldn't miss his movies.. the rating's kinda overrated though... R21 for a supposed comedy? The so called sex scene was BARELY 5 mins... seriously.. Singapore's censorship... geez.. no comments on my end.

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

Music soothes the soul.. eases the mood and tension thats for sure.

Jas's 21st

2007-12-01T20:36:00.000+08:00

Headed over for Jas's 21st bday chalet last night and meetups with the schoolmates again :) One can say that it was the year of 21st birthdays that brought the group of us close again.. chalets and whatnots. Realised how much we've missed out especially after leaving Nbss.. the times in which we WERE heavily involved in every freaking school play. Those were the days, days of fun and laughter, days in which everything was smooth sailing and close to perfect, days in which there were no stress brought about by work, office politics and whatnots. Had lotsa other stuff going on in our lifes, new schools new working environments that didn't permit much time or rather us using it as an excuse that allowed us to drift apart so I guess this year is a pretty significant one. Friends are always a joy and these are the darlings that I've known for close to a decade. Ones who you can reminince with over the past and over the stupid things we used to do.. and am proud to say that we made up the bulk of the company last night *grins*

Will have to wait for anna dearest for the pictures. Till then.

And anna sweetie... have a safe trip rem to get me my toyboys ya? =P

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

On a diff note... gifts from him.. a watch similar to his.. loved the colour thanks sweetie :)

And I so love driving an auto... much more pleasurable then the tedious manual ones...... oh well... lets just get the freaking lessons over and done with... I'm so lagging behind Liming.....

Enchanted

2007-11-28T14:31:00.000+08:00

Enchanted, yet another story whereby the real world and the animate world collide. The other I remember being Roger Rabbit but of course that was eons ago. One can't possibly hate such films.

Plot outline :

"A classic Disney fairytale collides with modern-day New York City in a story about a fairytale princess from the past who is thrust into present-day by an evil queen. Soon after her arrival, Princess Giselle begins to change her views on life and love after meeting a handsome lawyer. Can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?"

Synopsis :

"Giselle lives in a forest dreaming of her one true love. Prince Edward hears her singing and they fall in love and plan to wed the following morning. His step-mother the queen wants the threat to her crown removed so pushes Giselle down a well where she enters the 'real' world of New York. Here she meets a divorce attorney (Robert) who is about to become engaged and his 6 year old daughter. They fall in love while Giselle waits for Edward to rescue her. After an incident with a poisoned apple and being saved by true love's kiss, Giselle kills the queen who has turned into a dragon in order to save Robert from certain doom. Edward returns to the animated world with Nancy (Robert's girlfriend) and Giselle stays in New York with Robert and they all live happily ever after. "

A fairy tale with a queer yet sweet magical twist to it. Caught the movie with him.. unexpected actually... can't say he's much of a fan of the.... "fairytale genre".

Caught the movie yet again yesterday with the little sis and cuzzies and yet again I was surprised that Dan and Mon wanted to watch it... haha can't say I see them as fairytale viewers either... and well since everyone wanted to catch it.. thought I'd just go along.. why spoil the fun? Afterall... I do have this tendency to re-watch films and I do love musicals... and disney... excuses.. yes I know.

Up next.. movie with Liming.. yes this darling wanted to watch Enchanted too... sadly we changed the film.. can't be watching the same movie 3 times in a row now can I? And thanks for accomodating me and changing "HEROS" to "Fred Claus" heh.. I owe you one :P

Anyway, a clip of the song "Ever Ever After" by Carrie Underwood from the soundtrack of Enchanted.

Title-less

2007-11-25T13:26:00.000+08:00

Met up with Vonn last week, yeap she's finally back.. am wondering if I'll get to meet Judee this time round... a really tight schedule for someone on a summer break.. that girl sure utilizes her time well... not a min to waste.. chop chop all the way. Saw Dylan at AMK hub as well.. couldn't quite say I recongnized him... meeting someone in a club environment and him working... way different and moreover as a staff of CitiBank. Environment changes people they say. :)

Azera's 21st

2007-11-21T21:15:00.000+08:00

Popped by Azera's place for her 21st bday celebration. Though not official as of now I'd still like to wish my babe a very happy 21st. Congrats darls you're now on your way to being old LOL! Jokes aside, hope you had a great time and liked the little gift.

This so makes me want to get myself a set *grins*

Christmas's drawing nearer with each passing day. With the festive season comes the dilemma of xmas shopping and gifts. It is the season of giving afterall.. a month left to crack my head over 'em gifts. Giving brings about happiness.... AND a bleeding, dying wallet...geeeeez.

Bryan's 20th :)

2007-11-18T02:02:00.000+08:00

GP's finally over and done with.. a HUGE sigh of relief. A 35 pager, 5400 word essay submitted and off my back.. good riddance heavy load :)

Headed over to Pat's place earlier to celebrate Bryan's birthday.... Happy 20th Birthday hun

Met the many people I haven't seen in months.. times when whynot was still in existance.. couldn't quite figure what to get the little darling.. hmm... when in doubt vodka's the way? LOL! Anyway.. lovely cake I gotta say double D's at least ;P

First Male Pregnancy

2007-11-14T18:10:00.000+08:00

A preggy man.......what is the world coming to? I wouldn't deny this being every women's dream... but this is so against nature... I'm appalled, speechless and.. just.. dumbfounded. Another hoax? I'm clueless.. really.

2am Dessertbar

2007-11-13T17:24:00.000+08:00

Was offered a position in Sitel Singapore.. 2nd interview's today supposedly.. but.. I guess I'm just not too ready to join the workforce yet well maybe just a temp position but a year's contract... nope not at the moment :)

Anyway. Stardust was surprisingly a pretty good show. Wouldn't say that its particularly my kinda genre of film but glad I gave it a chance almost a 10/10 if you ask me.

And for those looking for a nice place to chill with dessert and wine.. you would want to consider the 2am Dessertbar @ Holland V... lovely place with a nice and relaxing ambience.

2007-11-11T11:07:00.000+08:00

Visted baby "trotties" ytd along with aier dearest.. too bad she had to leave early. Anyhoos, this guy is a helluva clubber... even a few days after his op with legs still bandaged up he CAN still manage a dance. Can't live with him can't leave without him.. what can I say. Again like old times the "paternal" side of him came about giving me advice and whatnots I guess thats the part of him I missd the most the brotherly (sisterly if u beg to differ hun) side of him :)

As for your "Every Mother's Nightmare".... tempting you got me its addictive but lemme just think about it for abit :)

A nice but blur shot

Cheeky as usual... the lil' kid in him :D

Yet again the usual cheeky grin

He kinda resembled Alan with his face scrunched up....somehow

Was commenting that we looked alittle too much like a couple.. wrong soooo wrong... XD

Confusion

2007-11-09T00:51:00.000+08:00

Updated friendster profiles day after day with statuses being updated to "married" and for real indeed. I guess the circle's just getting older but how queer. From a single carefree soul to a wife, soulmate, daughter-in-law and mother to be. Maybe its just me but I can't imagine giving up everything when I've just been given my key of freedom, the sweet smell of freedom, of being 21. Nope marriage's not for me at least not for now not when I've yet to attain my goals, not when I've yet to get a proper job and earning well, not when I've yet to get my own credit card. For now I'm alright with being pampered and being daddy's lil' girl and using his supplementary card. Freaky how marriages start out sweet and nice and turning sour at a later stage.. the parents are a good example, sad but I guess that's just how life is.. good enough to deter me from entering a merged life and having to assume the many roles. The truth being noone's gonna care of what happens when the family falls apart, not family members not much of friends and those who really do ought to be treasured.

How many others actually share my views?

Horrors of horrors

2007-11-07T03:51:00.000+08:00

For years I've been relatively tolerant to everyone around me despite being a hot head. Yes no one's perfect and obviously I'm one of them but then again being aimlessly blamed for every sordid detail that happens in everyone's lives endlessly.. not my cup of tea.

Try throwing something together and ensuring that everything runs smoothly ain't as easy as it seems. Planning's crappy. Trying to accomodate and fit everything and everyone in would be yet again another big fat joke. Anyhoos.. I can no longer be bothered why crack your head and kill your cells when nothing's even being appreciated but instead (and yet again) being thrown right back and hitting you right smack in the face.

Childish behaviours and whatnots... been there done that just another case of deja vu in this "mundane" life of mine. Nope blood's not thicker than water just some old wives tale that has yet to be proven wrong or so many deem.

Oh well crappy plans aside and hello new world. No one needs anyone to be happy really.

To those who think they own the world.. well.. jolly well get a life and fuck off, literally. I've seen almost all there is to relationships, life and office politics in this "short" span of 21 years. So there. You win some you lose some I always say.. a loss in which I gained.. knowledge and further understanding of the complicated yet twisted life of yet again the human race. Maybe I just outgrew certain aspects of life, with age does indeed come maturity, one that not many have attained.

"When one pursues happiness itself, one is miserable; but, when one pursues something else, one achieves happiness. "

William Shakespeare

"A wretched soul, bruised with adversity,We bid be quiet when we hear it cry; But were we burdened with like weight of pain,As much or more we should ourselves complain."

- William Shakespeare

Online blogs.. not exactly the perfect place to voice out to a certain extend yes perhaps.. the occassional whinnings and bitching, who doesn't? Privacy is something I value to a large extend. Laying your entire life and feelings out on a blog.. not a bright thought :) The only other thing one can do is to put it down, subtlely. Now.. you wouldn't want the world to read your every thought and feeling would you?

Made an impromtu trip to NUH last evening to visit Alston.. the poor hun had an op yesterday. Weird to see him lying on the hospital bed with his "trottified" leg all bandaged up but knowing him and his quirky sense of humour you wouldn't have guessed that he had an op in the morning. Anyhoos... hope you'll have a speedy recovery and uh be able to dance your nights away again.. and that teddy will a good companion till Sunday :)

Bonkerific

2007-10-20T14:43:00.000+08:00

Like everyone says, shit happens.

Relishing the freedom and liberation yet missing a small part of myself. Would you rather be trapped like a bird in a cage or wild and flying free without cares and commitments or sense of security. Knowing me.. I'd like to have my cake and eat it too. Call me self-centered but some things will just remain as such.Save me I'm going bonkers.. a one-way ticket to cranker-ville.

SIGH.

On a lighter note, gotta curb my spending.. been down and shopping does help bring the mood factor up a notch or two. Online shopping, countless ktv sessions, hanging around town, dining out endlessly.. major damage. Vitamin "M" would be perfect.. if dad decides to allow me to sponge off him that is.

Happy lil' thoughts...

2007-10-15T23:13:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the lack of updates... being mugging these couple of days.. ok lemme rephrase that "mugging". LOL.

2 papers down 1 to go and did I mention getting debarred from my 'Journalism' paper? Didn't meet the 95% criteria I was told... will just have to appeal for the sub paper.. *prays* the others.. lets just say they were pretty okay.. alls thats left now is 'Advertising'. Can't say much.. my feelings toward the institution.. lets just put it as being neutral.

Anyhoos

Been spending lotsa time with the sisters and lovely cousins.. just like old times, just like when we were young. I guess the growing up process does pull you away from stuff... friends... family.. sad knowing how our lives revolves around work, studies and yet again work... even that tiny bit of time spent with the family brings a big smile to my face.. mum's extremely cranky though.. over what I shall not bother elaborating on.. will just ignore her nonsense and let her be.

Hm.. Mon, mum and me.... before she went into cranky overdrive

On a different note....

Singaporeans (most) are the most selfish people ever... prove me wrong in anyway. I know I wouldn't see this happening in another country. A person faints in front of you.... do you

(A) Be oblivious to it
(B) Stare
(C) Offer help

in this case most were simply (A)'s and (B)'s.. simply staring at her slumped on the ground and minding their own business.. I mean how selfish can you get? To help takes just a minute. A typical behaviour as once again displayed by our little garden city. Tapped her arm.. thank goodness she woke up.. I guess the little bit of sugar did the trick.. well at least she was able to stand and get a sit before hailing a cab. Can't everyone just offer a little kindness every now and then... wouldn't really hurt would it?

Pam's 21st

2007-10-06T01:16:00.000+08:00

Felt good to meet up with the ex-classmates since we last hung out during Anna's 21st. Crazy talks, card games, endless teasings aimed at the new couple *shiya and chenghui* *grins*... will just post the pictures and let 'em do the talking once I get them from Anna and Pam... haven't been in the mood to blog.. will just have to wait for the pictures :)

The new couple :)

My lovelies... eight years and counting.. I love u girls :)

Last day

2007-09-28T20:47:00.000+08:00

And today marks the last day of classes. Think wide smile. :)

Next up.. exams and the closure being the Graduation project... time flies.. not that I'm complaining. Will miss the 3 annoyingly sweet darlings Tiara, In and Ju but life goes on.

Am gon' find me a temp job for the moment, followed by a trip to Perth before embarking on anything new... life's just so sweet.. well for now anyway. Gonna savour this delicious moment before it ends.

And btw 'The Nannies Diaries' is a pretty good show (and Scarlett Johanson is pretty cute)... hubs.. sry I had to drag you away from 'Balls Of Fury'... will make it up to you next week?

Pet Peeves

2007-09-25T20:40:00.000+08:00

Would one deem these as pet peeves? Well to each his own.

It makes me sick to hear others going "Your bf doesn't mind you getting a piercing/tattoo meh? He allows ar? Did you ask him?" and the other being someone keeping a tab on me and mind you it ain't the parents. Since when does one's life revolve around another soul? My life, my body so really.. I rule my life the way I deem suitable even the parents leave me to make my own decisions.. it is afterall my life. Its the 21st century people. Get a life already. A meek and obliging 'housewife' is a thing of the past. Perhaps I'd suggest getting a mail order bride.

Relationships are taking its toil on me. Sometimes I'd rather life revolved around me, my ever so cheerful dogs, the lappy and of course the all impt wifi connection. That I think I could live with in absolute contentment.

Just voicing out the little nagging voice in my head.

That aside, Stef dearest thanks for making my day though that bitch at the counter did presume that we were a lesbo couple. Then again, what the heck.. I still love u.

2007-09-22T15:41:00.000+08:00

Am finally over and done with all the projects. Freedom.

On a lighter note, was hub's 21st birthday on the 19th.. finally 21 and joining the world of adults... I know I'm like a couple of months older but no biggy.. I think.

Got him a watch... suits him fine hope he liked it.. and yeah the bag too. Though the lucky devil DID get a U700 from his sis *pouts*

Met up with Az and Eric the day after for a mini post celebration for hubs as well... my laughter medication I call 'em.. always a joy being around them. And right not forgetting the lil' sis's birthday just yesterday.. mum cooked up a feast with help from yours truely as well and uh a "tiny" bit of help from the maid lol. The babes and dan came over. Had fun.. been ages since we last had a girls night thing namely me, the 2 sisters, stef, mon and june... of course we had to put dan to bed... oh well.

Just a tiny bit of updates.. kinda lazy actually and did I mention looking forward to the last week of school next week? *Grins*

South Park

2007-09-12T12:40:00.000+08:00

Meeting Moni dearest was certainly nowhere near boring. Believe it or not it was my first time ever throughout my 21 years that I stepped foot into quiet little Bukit Merah to meet my dearest bitch.. maybe.... she chose the location cuz of her hair color? LOL

I think Moni has "OCD" not literally of course.. she's positively obsessed with chicken rice... you'd think she had something against chickens in her past life.

Anyway... for fans of South Park the animation... season one to eleven online (link given thanks to the long lost lil' bro Shafiq)... Enjoy :)

Vanessa HSM

2007-09-10T16:43:00.000+08:00

The media are the surface manifestation, but they are only the puppets of the true source of the harm intended for man kind. The media always "aim" their news coverage "below" the standards of common morality -- in order to appeal to the least moral in our society. They do this naturally by saying that the only way they can sell their stuff is to put into their reports "what people want to hear."

One victim of this would be Vanessa Anne Hudgens.. my heart goes all out to her... a pity that her private photos were made public causing a huge albeit typical media hoohah.. how very predictable of the media to use this as what they deem "news". Most even critize her for portraying a slutty image and improper behaviour casting rocks at her without first taking a good look at themselves in the mirror. The pictures (though provocative) weren't taken for money or publicity but rather for her own, personal private uses whatever the reason was.. blame her misfortune of being publically known..? Or the public for intruding? I guess being a known figure does have a price, your privacy.

Hopefully things die down soon, no big deal really.. porn sites are all over the net and most of those in the racy pictures ARE being paid.. so especially to the guys.. why cast rocks and insults when you yourself are 'consumers' of pornography? And besides I'm positively sure of many others taking such pictures... just not popular as to intrigue the media into sourcing for ways to 'steal' or leak the pictures. Seriously.

(:

2007-09-08T02:14:00.001+08:00

Class ended earlier than expected today and being the typical person who seems to have too much time on her hands.. went to NAFA to 'fetch' the little sis. Following the trail of students with their proud master pieces in hand (well they could have been la salle's students).. okay so I didn't quite know the exact route there except cabbing down... they were my only other alternative and as my huge ego forbides (sometimes I think my ego's way bigger than that of a guy's...) I went about finding my way around... take it this way I'd rather go in circles than to ask for directions.. though the trail did however surprisingly lead me to Kim who was rather shocked at my highly unexpected presence.. happily puffing away with her pals she was.. probably thought I was her uncle or bro perhaps.

Anyway got meself a volunteer tour guide and waited for my dear little princess right at the foot of the building. Met Xavier.. I have gotta say that this kid left a pretty good impression on me.. cute little guy.. invited me to PLAY which I declined anyway. Nevertheless, nice chap.. wouldn't mind hanging out sometime soon.. I guess.

Got my monthly dose of cosmetics to cheer me up.. can't do without those darlings.. like how drugs are to a drug addict. Am getting addicted to Anna Sui's makeup range.. major contributing factor would be the lovely and addictive rose scent that are used in all their products... I think I'm being drugged.. have already gotten myself the gloss, eyebrow kit and mascara all with the same lovely scent... how can one even hate this brilliant product. Good enough reason to allow me to do away with the guilt.

And.... not forgetting my red headed bitch's finally back in Sg. I feel like a kid during christmas all over again. I miss my bitch. Plans for later darls?

Shut up, fuck off, stay out

2007-09-06T12:14:00.001+08:00

Seriously I don't give a fucking damn to whether I sound bloody spoilt, mean or bitchy and if you didn't know this IS me.

Being forced into joining a group of unknowns to work on a proj... so NOT me but was instructed to by the lecturer anyway as she clearly stated that she wanted us to work in groups of four. Personally I'd have preferred working on it individually in which I'm positive of scoring well whether with or without 'em and have proven so in the previous modules.

So I ain't in the class ever so often but neither am I approached by 'em when I am and what I get is an extremely insulting sms and call from these two korean nimwits one of them going.... 'are u coming to school next week? I want to make sure if u're gonna do the project or not' exact words as quoted from her text and the next being a call from her friend going 'we didn't know u were gonna base ur part on singtel mark didn't tell us. Anyway its 400 words are u sure you can do it? We have to have it done by wed' obviously I was being haughty by answering her sorry but to inform you I did inform mark I was doing the component on Singtel and besides I WORKED there and 400 words is not gonna be of any problem. With that she bid me goodbye with her ending of 'we'll see u next week'. I don't fucking care if she or rather they're fucking pissed or think of me as a non-contributing member or a freeloader of somesort. The bottom line is that I never was and never will be so fucking get your facts right. And 400 words? I'm SURE it'll be a mean feat for me so much as to me needing help from foreigners. I forgot my english's rock bottom and not to mention atrociously horrendous, so thanks for volunteering to help.

In fact, why act all prim, proper and 'highly' meticulous giving me the dirty freeloader look when no one even bothered to stay and speak to the lecturer to find out any facts? FYI I was the only one who did which even made me late for my other appointment.

Sorry but here is one lady who takes full pride in her work ensuring every singel detail is in place and both report and slides done to perfection. In case you didn't know I am a perfectionist at heart. So fucking get your fucking facts right instead of relying on your so called 'womens intution' which in my opinion ain't working quite as well for you honey.

Take it personally and hate me all you want cuz it doesn't matter its just another 3 months and good bye but since I highly doubt you guys will in any way chance upon this, I have typed and sent an sms with regards to my pride being wounded due to things being said all because of one thing, an assumption.

Hitting the roads

2007-09-06T00:04:00.001+08:00

Back on the roads again..

After the LONG break taken I decided to get my ass back to driving.. the motivation's back again.. thankfully and of course a major contributing factor being mum and dad sponsoring the fees and the second being Liming, my latest driving companion (at least I ain't gotta drag my ass to and fro alone). Though I did mention wanting to be 'independent' and not relying on anyone for it.. uh.. no job = no cash right..? But I DID fork out a thousand outta my own pocket for the previous lessons so that makes me.... 'half-dependent'?

Was both nerve wrecking yet fun being behind the wheel again although I got cramps in my legs..the usual after every lesson.. the engine stalled twice but hey I was warming up so I gotta be excused. Warmup rounds and it was out on the big roads again... man do I miss driving on the roads though I do feel awfully bad for 'putting the instructor's life at risk' imagine your life being in the hands of a mere rookie.. a student driver... scccaareeeeeey.
Can't recall the instructor's name... a very jolly and easy going guy.. one would definately feel at ease having him as a coach.. no stress, no weird or angry glares no naggings and whatnots. Just friendly advice and convos.. so unlike my past two instructors.. stern, snotty old men who can't even seem to..maybe 'conjure up' a smile for the student's benefit..

No intention to stereotype.. but... yet another classic Singaporean behaviour as displayed by yet another service provider in this quaint little city.

Pleasant surprise =D

2007-09-03T20:33:00.000+08:00

Was thanking my lucky stars that I cleared all my modules despite not studying and not forgetting the low grades. Received a letter and another set of my result slip today however... error in grading.

Mdis seriously screwed up in that aspect but I ain't complaining. The actual grades were way better.. As and Bs.. a really pleasant surprise I'd say. No complains from this satisfied customer.

And in case you were wondering how I'd look at this very moment......

2007-09-01T18:17:00.000+08:00

Thank goodness dad managed to wake up in time for his flight... I totally spaced... or rather.. I fell asleep... at the keyboard yet again.. lappy's gon' burn and die one of these days.

This is soooo bloody random.. I know.. boredom messes up your mind in weird ways and not forgetting the lack of sleep....

A shot of me and my 3 favourite bitches... haha.. me in a mask.. totally unglamourous thus the coverup.

The headset reminds me of the 'good' ol' times as a cso back at singtel.

Little red haired bitch

2007-09-01T00:38:00.001+08:00

Couldn't stop thinking 'bout the movie and got the soundtrack earlier (:

Re-watching it is a definate too.

Anyhoos..

My lovely red haired bitch's coming back from Melbourne. Gon' have heaps of fun just like ol' times ya darls? I love you!

Will be settling her ass back in Sg for about a year before heading back to Melbourne again... shall dimiss that thought for now. So wassup... bbq, chalets, short shopping trips to msia. I just can't wait to see you.

That aside... wanted a whole new look for my hair... not adventurous enough for a haircut and so yet another dye job... intention was to get ash blonde.. settled for violet instead which sadly was a tad too dark..and now resembles black. Great.. I blew my moolah for black YET AGAIN. Its a never ending vivious cycle I tell u.

Randomness @ 5 am?

2007-08-29T05:21:00.000+08:00

Clearly I'm not in the right state of mind. Whoever blogs at friggin' 5 am in the morning. My biological clock's seriously screwed up.. am somewhat sleepy but the eyelids just refuse to stay shut. I think I need help pronto.. am turning into a panda lookalike. Not helping that stef, the two sisters, grans, mom and pops, the maid and the two darling dogs are happily snoozing away in dreamland... I sooooooo wanna join them like right about now.

Got a random sms from Junior (Weihao) earlier... so very random yet heart warmingly sweet. One can say that we barely knew each other having met like only thrice and as I recall the last time I saw him was in Feb... during one of Alsty's performance at the now dysfunc whynot. Time is not necessarily an essential factor when it comes to friendships I suppose.. just the ability to click and the sincerity of both parties. A simple little msg that came from the heart...certainly made my day. As the saying goes... one need not meet as long as he/she is kept within the heart or something along that line.

And not forgeting the other being the movie 'Hairspray'... wouldn't have any qualms re-watching it. I'm a sucker for musicals. My childhood faves being 'Mary Poppins', 'Sound Of Music', 'The King & I' and my all time fave 'Grease'.. not forgetting the numerous theatre musicals during my teenage years. Managed to get stef hooked on 'em and I guess the two little sisters enjoyed the movie as well... (or were they just eyeing Zac Effron?).

So.. with that being said.. any willing sponsorers?

Inverted roles

2007-08-27T20:21:00.000+08:00

Inverted roles?

=.=

2007-08-27T19:45:00.000+08:00

Part A of tv and radio productions complete... another 4 more projs to go. 'Neway.. was cam woman for the day.. short one at that.. now its clear whats NOT suited for me... geez height disadvantages.. 'Shorty' as Mel calls me.. like thanks..

Was down for a few days.. always am nothing new really.. just to everyone I'm Miss Happy Go Lucky.. doesn't matter anyway. Guess I'm just contented seeing those around me happy? Didn't quite help that I was snubbed by both dad and a pal of mine this week. Life's just a big fat joke.

Tv and radio productions class is just about the only interesting module this term reason being we get to use the studio simple as that. Got my term one results as well.. isn't quite up to my expectations but I guess I should just thank my lucky stars that I managed to clear 'em despite not having been in class or studying... shame on me. Gotta buck up for this term.

Just these two pics.. didnt manage to get shots of the cams though.

Am bored... am sleepy.. wanted to visit a pal but.. due to some unforseen circumstances...

So... whats new these days... I need entertainment... have been turning to online shopping to fulfill the emptiness in me that I've been feeling recently. Am void of all emotions. Zero, zlich, nadah.
