Sweet kisses lingers in the air

Ding dong!

I told myself that should everything go well, I shall change my blog domain.

And it did. =)

Start heading over to my new crib.

Still gotta work on other stuff like links and such, but bear with me. I'm a busy woman. =)

This little baby's still gonna exist. Too many memories here to dump. =)

WISH ME LUCK!! =)

2007-01-24T18:55:00.000+08:00

I read babes latest entry, and oddly, it made me smile.

It kinda brought me back to that night at M.O.S. It was fun.

Kris, I have a picture of the 3 people who played me out and got high, but I was told not to put it up. If not my head will roll to Timbaktu and never return. =)

Justine, if you wanna go clubbing, you're free to join my mates and I, especially when I return from my trip. If I have good news (And I'm crossing my fingers, toes, and eyes for good news!), I'll be opening a bottle of Moet & Chandon! The best champagne ever. If I don't have good news, heck it, I'm still going clubbing and get drunk. Haha! So Justine, let me know. =)

I'll be outta town tomorrow morning, for a week.

I was planning to go clubbing the week that I'm back, but I was told that I've got a weekend assignment to do. ROARRRRRRR!!!

No clubbing for that week, but good money! So I've accepted that job.

So clubbing would be the second week of February!!!! Kimmies!!! *Wink wink*

Kimmies, I'll miss you sooo much, especially when I can't go clubbing with you for 2 weeks!!!! *Goes into cold turkey*

All's good. Kinda stressed out about the trip. Ironed my power suit and the many shirts I'm bringing along, as well as my winter clothes, electronic dictionary, and research papers.

Bleah.

Wish me luck!

When the going gets tough, even the tough goes crazy.

Sometimes I wonder who's reading, and how they interpret what I've wrote. Do they judge me? Form an opinion?

I don't like being misinterpretated. Neither do I like to be misunderstood, and accused of something.

I hate pushy people who ask me questions, and if I refuse to answer them and tell them that I'd rather not talk about it, then they'll start pushing the question, refusing to back down and change topic.

I hate having my privacy invaded. I don't like people trying to tear my privacy open, for all to see.

That's my reason for being evasive of people. Can you seriously blame me?

*****

I like what's ahead of me, but at the same time, I'm gonna hate what I'll have to sacrifice.

Why is everything about sacrificing? Why can't we have the best of both worlds? =(

I have so much to do, so much paperwork to be done.

So much worrying, thinking, planning to be done.

So many people to entertain.

I'm driving myself crazy, and it's getting unhealthy.

Very.

Happy days ahead.

2007-01-19T17:14:00.000+08:00

I lost my MOS virginity last night! Oh! How exhilarating it was! Heh.

I wasn't expecting it to be so crowded, considering people had school/work the next day. I voiced this out to Miss K, and she said: "Do you think they care?", to which I retorted: "Ya lor. Like you lor. Tomorrow have to work, but still come."

I so prefer MOS to Zouk. Or maybe I've been to Zouk once too many times, that MOS looks so appealing.

I love the decor, and the music's far better. The crowd's better as well. And the bartenders are darn entertaining, and cuter than the bartenders at Zouk. Heh. They were doing stunts with the bottles, cups, ice, whatever... But the drinks are kinda expensive. I guess we're paying for the entertainment.

Miss K's 2 friends, Mr J and Mr L were hilarious. Mr J especially.

Miss K and I started the night off with a flaming Lamborghini shared between us. We then proceeded to the dance floor, but we weren't high enough, so I bought us a tequila shot each. Shiok-ness!

After that, Miss K's other friend, Mr S and his group of friends opened up a bottle, so the 8 of us were trying to finish that bottle, mixing it with coke.

Was kinda high by that time already, but Mr L and Mr J got so excited by the 1 for 1 drinks between 1-2am, that we ended up with 4 freaking jugs of something with coke. And it tasted bad.

See. Miss K was supposed to be my "guardian" for the night, but ended up with a role reversal. I had quite a lot to drink, but I was taking care of 3 of them. Thank God Mr J could still walk, if not I'll be dragging the 3 of them to the cab stand.

I think it was quite a funny sight, all 4 of us walking and swaying from left to right, because Mr L was totally gone. He's quite heavy for a skinny guy. LOL!

I took a picture of 3 of them sitting on a kerb! But but but... Miss K already warned me not to upload it. She said not to upload it on Friendster, but she didn't say anything about blogger......................

HAHAHAH!!

I shan't be mean.

It was, of all clubbing experience, the best night of my life.

2 failed clubbing attempts since the new year, this definately hit the right spot.

I can't wait to do it again. Let's just hope last night wasn't my last clubbing experience with you babes. I wanna do it again. And yes, let's BOTH crawl out of the club next time, instead of me watching you crawl. Hehe!

Oh yes. Drunk dialling is so not good.

*****

I wrote this entry on a piece of paper a few nights back, but haven't had the time to blog it down. So here it is.

*****

It is when the night's really quiet, and majority of my neighbourhood population is in bed, that the melancholy thoughts start flooding my head.

It is pretty easy to get lost in these thoughts.

Sometimes, I reluctantly snap myself back to reality.

most of the time, the thoughts linger til the very second I fall asleep.

Seeing the many changes occurring, and about to occur, it made me realise that changes, at this point of my life, is quite inevitable.

I hope all this thinking, worrying, and wondering, won't turn me into a dyspeptic person. =)

In case I'm busy and have no time to update, I'll be overseas from the 25th of this month.

I'll let you guys know what's up when I return from that trip.

Something big is coming my way.

Til then. Take extreme care.

*****

*Chants*

I love my life. I love my life. I love my life.

*Exhales*

*****

Still unwilling to let my days as a student pass me by...

Studying a little on Singapore's Industrial Relation's laws. Doesn't hurt to gain a little knowledge. =)

Busy and waiting.

2007-01-13T21:30:00.000+08:00

Just finished work. More to do. Brain's kinda dead, creative juices dried up already.

Need to rope in help. =(

In case I'm busy the next few days to update, I'll be out of town on the 25th of this month.

If all goes well... I'll let you know..

I interviewed for a huge company in Singapore last month, and only got their reply last night.

I don't have high hopes anyway. I could have aced the interview, but it was my computer knowledge that failed me.

Questions like "how do you to format a disk using MS DOS?"

I nearly choked to death just reading the question. MS what!!!!!

Who uses MS DOS?!

And another question was "What are the 5 cards in the computer system?"

Memory card, sound card, graphic card..... MRT card and Credit card. -.-

There was also the translation part where I had to make the customer's enquiry reply more formal. I reckon I aced that too.

Gee. I wasn't expecting such hard computer knowledge questions.

The HR lady told me the test was to determine how much training I'd need to receive. I guess my test results shows that I'm a computer idiot. Heh.

Doesn't matter. =)

Something good's coming up for me, and I'm excited!

*****

I'm going to be very evasive of people now.

They don't understand what I'm doing.

Freelance.

By "freelance", it means I get called up anytime.

When I get called up, I go.

When I go, I get paid.

Last minute or not, I'll entertain. It's not just for the money. It's for the experience.

I did a job the other day. I was only given an hour's notice.

Gah. Tell a girl she has an hour to get changed and make-up, she'll die.

But I made it, and my wallet's a little heavier.

If you don't understand what I'm doing, then I ain't got anything else to say to you.

Because you've already judged me.

Looking back...

2007-01-12T17:39:00.000+08:00

I went from this...

To this...

That's it. My life is over!!!! =)

Time sure flies. I was that jittery 17 year old, stepping into Melbourne for the first time, calling home and crying every other night, telling mommy that I wanna come home.

Few months down the road, I settled down in Melbourne, and I even made it through my first year alone.

2004, I stepped into Sydney, for the first time, yet again. Having not been to Sydney before, I was surprisingly calm.

3 years down the road, with loads of laughter and tears, the chapter finally closes.

The school have acknowledged that I've passed my degree requirements.

I'm officially a graduate, in The University of Sydney's eyes.

And now, I shall await that day. The day I don that graduation gown, with white fur, and walk up the stage to receive that piece of paper I've worked hard for, and deserve.

4th May 2007.

I can't wait for that day.

老了。。。

2007-01-06T20:27:00.000+08:00

It was exhilarating yet nerve-wrecking to drive from my place, to Holland V, to Zouk, then back to Holland V, and proceeding to find my way home.

My first time driving out of the East, and into the city.

My heart was racing as I tried to navigate my way to the city.

Oddly enough, coming home from Holland V was a simple task.

Hm.. You know when you're growing older when:

1) you decide to drive instead of taking a cab home from Zouk, aware of the fact that the cab fare could set you back 25 buckaroos. (The 50% midnight charge is ridiculous!!)

2) you decide to drive so you won't drink, because drinking means more moolah's flying out from your wallet. "I drive, because I don't wanna drink". =)

3) you finally realise that it's not easy to earn money, and therefore, watch every single cent you spend.

I didn't enjoy myself much. I don't know if it's another sign of ageing, but the crowd at Velvet is too old and businessman-y for me.

Zouk's music's too weird for me. Trance... I really have abso-fucking-lutely no idea how to dance to that. Unless you consider the action of electricuted dancing, then I'll probably be able to enjoy Trance.

I love RnB, and use to be able to stay at Phuture for the entire night.... But... I FEEL SO OLD AND OUT OF PLACE THERE!!!!!!!!!!! =((((

The people were so young! 18? 19??

And I find the crowd at Phuture really childish. In just about 3 hours, 3 or 4 fights nearly broke out.

小孩子，不要那么激动。 Relax!! Take a chill pill with fries!

Also, the boys are probably trying to deal with their raging hormones, but hey, don't display your horniness and chee ko pek-ness can?? this shows how desperate you are, and hey, you're announcing to the whole world that you're a born loser because you ain't getting any. Blow-up dolls (or your hands, if you can't afford the dolls) will be men's greatest invention for you. =)

I like how whenever a guy starts getting too close to us, our guy friends would open up the circle, let us in the centre, and close the circle. Thanks guys.

i also saw my neighbour at Phuture. First time seeing him there. Must have turned 18 recently. =P

His group of friends were 1 of those kiddos who initiated a fight on the dance floor. Eh kiddo, I tell your father ar... Haha!

We used to play together when we were young. But when I saw him a few years back, he was smoking. Bright kid, but led by the nose by the wrong people. Ended up in ITE, smoking, and now, almost fighting.

I heard that his dad has given up hope on him, and never talks about him. He would steer the topic away from his son, and talk about his daughter, who's really smart, instead.

It's kinda sad when your parents don't "show you off", and instead, prefer not to hear your name in a conversation.

Ah well, those kiddos at Phuture will grow out of that rebelling phase, and hopefully tone down.

Just like how I've grown out of clubbing.............

NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I hope it's because I've had a rather long day, that i'm tired, and had no energy to dance. Besides, I didn't have any alcohol, so I wasn't high enough to dance.

I was up since 9am (I'm usually asleep til 1pm, or til I'm really hungry) to run some errands with dad. Actually, we went secretly to order cakes for mom's birthday, which is today!! (By the way, she was really surprised! And the cakes were beautiful!!!!)

After ordering the cakes, I came home for lunch, then met up with an old pal to accompany him to buy his uni books, and had coffee with him at Holland V. (I wanna go back to school..... sobs)

After coffee, I came back for dinner, slacked a bit, and then embarked on my journey to the city.

Yes. It's been a long day.

I love clubbing.............

I do!

maybe... I should try again to confirm.

HAHAHAHAH!

And to end off this entry, I have a piece of good news!!!

But.... I don't think I should announce it.

It concerns my future, and for those who know, I'm closer and closer to leaving you. =(

*Wait. how's the above sentence good news? LOL!*

Ushering a new year.

2007-01-03T18:31:00.000+08:00

Before I start blathering on about my New Year's celebration, let me just say "Happy Belated New Year!"

Now, I second what my girlfriend, Kim, said about our New Year's celebration. She doesn't want the story to see the light of day again, and neither would I like to recapitulate what happened.

Anyway, we counted down the last 10 seconds of the year 2006 at the Mambo Jambo event held at the Expo.

The crowd sucked big time, and music was no better. Drinks were cheap but, costing 5 bucks for the "easy-to-make" concoctions like vodka whatever, whiskey whatever, and tequila shots were going for about 3 bucks I think. There weren't any drinks that required shaking, flames, whatever. So no Flaming Lambourghini for us.

After we welcomed 2007, everything went downhill. 2 glasses of vodka, no dancing. That ain't very nice, especially since it was my first time clubbing since coming back.

What happened after will never be repeated by mouth again. If you wanna know, get me to draw you a comic. =P

Well, as Kim's friend said: "The year started off bad, it'll get better!" I love his optimism, and his cheerfulness. Nice guy. Kim! Ask him along for future clubbing sessions! But please, don't call that spoiler who spoiled our night. =)

Most of the night was spent cooling Kim down. I actually found the night hilarious, it was superfluous to be piping mad anyway.

It was a very disappointing night, but I'm glad to have been with Kim to welcome the new year.

*****

On a totally disparated topic, I had this thought in my mind for quite some time. Kids with their own cars (i.e. Parents buying cars for their kids.) are gonna have a hard time in the future.Petrol, car maintenence, installments etc etc, are all paid for by their parents. They wouldn't know the real value of money, and in the future, when they start working, they're gonna have a hard time controlling their finances.

Another thought. I've never thought highly of people who're depending on their parents in terms of jobs. A friend was telling me that he knows someone who's running a business. I was impressed, especially when I heard he was 21. But, I was immediately turned off when he said the capital and set up were courtesy of his parents.

Boo boo. Running a business is one thing. How you took the first step is another thing.

I would only applaud those who set up a business by their own means, like working and saving up.

Otherwise, it's nothing to holler about.

I believe strongly in 要靠自己。=)

On a lighter note, I caught Curse of the Golden Flower. Gong Li and Chow Yun Fatt. Star cast! Besides, the cleavage and the incest were what appealed to me. Hahaha!

Oh! How perverted I've become!

Gong Li's a fantastic actress! And Chow Yun Fatt... Superb acting as a bad guy!

Jay Chou... you know, everytime he appeared on screen, the audiences would laugh. I found his acting kinda funny too, especially during the crying scene. Ha!

The first time he appeared, my friend said: "And now, he's going to sing."

LOL!

Well, long entry, totally unrelated topics.

Have a blessed 2007, and take it easy!

Cheers!

Being 21.

2006-12-28T18:43:00.000+08:00

Ask me if I miss Sydney, I'd say yes without hesitation.
Ask me if I miss the lifestyle and freedom I had in Sydney, and I'd say yes even before you can finish the sentence.

Being a graduate (yes, I passed all my subjects, I'm a Credit average student, and therefore, can confirm that I'm graduating.), and no longer a slave to the books, I realised that I'm facing pressures I've never faced before.

I'm being viewed in a different way.
Different kind of expectations are being laid upon my shoulders now.
The same old question.
The new interferrence.
The everchanging ideas and ambitions.

Honestly speaking, I don't know how to handle the above.
I would blurt everything out, but it's not my nature to tell people my problems.

Dad said: "Once you turn 21, it goes downhill from there."

Just 2 months into my 21st, and I'm already rolling down the hill like Humpty Dumpty.

I just need that one hope, to turn my life around.

I don't have much time left, and my hope is running dry.

Please just give me that one last hope, and stop me from rolling down the hill.

It's tiring to keep having to put on the happy mask.

Losing something of sentimental value saddens me.

2006-12-28T12:58:00.000+08:00

I was sick about 3 weeks ago. Cough, flu, fever... The works.

2 weeks down, and I was still under the weather. I seriously thought I was gonna die, with all that coughing. I nearly coughed my throat out.

During the time I was sick, I actually worked for 2 days.

Thursday and Friday, I was a translator. Japanese translator to a Japanese family who wants to send their daughter to Singapore to study. I went to the international school with them, and translated everything for them. From enrollment stuff, to fees and application form.

Not easy, but I earned 30 buckaroos an hour. =)

On the same Friday, I was an usher for 2 hours. There was this Japanese organization event/dinner, and I had to usher these Japanese people looking smart in their business suit. Majority were men. Pfft. That earned me 15 buckaroos an hour.

That 2 days of work earned me $150.

I think I shall polish up my Japanese, and be a professional translator. By then, I'll be commanding more than 30 bucks an hour. $_$

Being sick for 2 weeks was so not funny. I had to stay off chocolate (which was hard), cold drinks, spicy food etc. All I had was porridge, and noodle soup. Damn boring.

Also, being sick made me a muddle-head. I lost my watch. My Rip Curl watch. My 18th birthday present from my parents.

I simply have no recollection of where I dropped it or left it or kept it. I've been searching for it, but I just can't find it.

And I'm devastated.

It's fairly expensive, but it's the sentimental value of it. Mom was in Melbourne with me when she bought it for me. We went to this uber huge Rip Curl store in Melbourne, and she bought the watch for me.

3 years, and it's gone.

I'm seriously upset. I can go out and get a similar one, but it won't be the same.

And I'm still wondering where it is. I don't even know if it's within the house, or lost somewhere out there.

Sighhh....

Leave me alone. Thankyouverymuch.

2006-12-27T23:51:00.000+08:00

So much on my mind. Mind's preoccupied.

I want to blog, but I don't know what to say.

Maybe I'll just stop blogging.

And I wish people can stop asking me the same question over and over again.

Just stop.

I haven't disappeared...

2006-12-07T01:25:00.000+08:00

I'm just busy.

Been a week and a half since I've been back, and it's been hell hectic for me.

Left Sydney last Monday morning, and arrived Singapore in the arvo.

Was suppose to have an interview the next day, but it got postponed to Wednesday. That left me with Tuesday to rest, and study the organisation's background.

Wednesday - Interview. I think I did badly. I'm not expecting a call from them. Doesn't matter. It's the interview experience that I gained. At least I know how a formal interview is, and I know how to prepare for future interviews.

Sunday - Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). Hard. Hard. Difficult. =(

Monday - Dental appointment. Got the referral (did I spell that right?) letter to go to NDC. Just what I wanted. Cheaper treatments. =)

Tuesday - Family outing. Parents, sis and I went to watch Happy Feet. Ya. My family and I went to watch a cartoon.... =S But it was fun. All 4 of us to a movie. Been a long time since that happened.

Wednesday - Met up with Kimmies for the first time in......... 5 months. And boy, did I miss her.

I guess blogging at half past 1 in the morning ain't a good thing. It's quiet, and you're left alone. That's the worst time for me, because I tend to think a lot when left alone.

A lot on my mind. Expectations to be fulfilled, things to do, errands to run, people to satisfy...

I'm only one person. Where's my pillar of strength?

How come things seem to be easier in Sydney?

Tough times ahead.

Chin up, gal. Gotta be strong.

That, I gotta remind myself.

Melting!!

2006-11-22T14:28:00.000+08:00

36.7 degrees!!

TOO HOT!!!!

I wouldn't have stepped out of my room, with the comfort of my fan, if not for the laundry.

Stepped out of the door, and I was immediately surrounded by HOT AIR!!!

EVEN THE WIND IS HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a short walk to the laundry room, and I WAS PERSPIRING!!!!!

Not funny!

Even eating an ice cream with the fan blowing in my face can't cool me down.

Worse still, I can't escape the hot weather, because Singapore is just as hot!!

AHHHHHHH!!!!

I think I'm gonna walk around my room naked. =D

21st birthday party.

2006-11-20T13:22:00.000+08:00

And so moving on to something happier, and something that happened exactly a month ago...

MY 21st BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!!!!

Yeaaaa.... I feel so old. Because I know my 22nd is coming really fast now, and soon, I'LL BE THIRTY!!!!!!!!!!!!

*SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

But anyways, forget that. =D

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

I invited 9 of my closest friends, and made this a really small party. Miss J couldn't come as she was rushing an essay, so yea, eight of them came.

Brudder came over early to help decorate my room. He was the co co-ordinator. Hehe.

We started blowing... The balloons. =D

Tying streamers to the balloons, and deciding on where we should place them.

The balloons waiting room.

The right side of the room.

And the left side of the room.

While we were blowing up the balloons and sticking all the streamers and balloons up, the chicken was baking in the oven.

Honey chicken.... Yummm

People started pouring in at.... Half past 8 I think, and by then, everyone was having a bottle of alcohol and eating already.

Soon, my face got red. Yes. I get red really fast, especially since I drank on an empty stomach.

I tell ya, a few of my friends can really drink.

Mr A, the bitchest male I've ever met, got me this!

Oh laa laa.... And oh, he drank most of it. -__-"

And Mr XP, got me this.

Expensive champagne. It was DELICIOUS!!! (Of course, because it's expensive!)

Miss A got me a pendant, and the 2 sisters got me some earrings and a bracelet. Miss D, my da jie, bought the birthday cake for me!

She saw a new bakery near Chinatown, and told me about it. Said the cakes were beautiful, and true enough, it was!

She got me a blueberry mousse cake, and it tasted heavenly....

She said it was expensive too....

Anyways, the cake came with these little knives that looked like forks. And we were all coming up with names for it. Considering that those forks that looks like spoons are called "sporks", we decided to name the knife that looks like a fork "fuknife".

It was hilarious! Then Miss M started writing an essay on it!

HAHAHAHAHA!

I forgot to take picture of the "fuknife". Sorry. Face red, couldn't really think. Hehe. Anyways, not many pictures from the party too, because everyone was busy drinking. =D

The Japanese class girls: Miss D, Miss A, and me!

Miss M and Miss C (The sisters), Miss D, Miss A, and me!

If you're wondering why that picture is so blur, blame it on Mr XP. He high liao. Couldn't focus the camera. LOL!

Mr P (sitting down), Mr A (aka bitch), brudder, and Mr XP. Don't ask me why he wants to bite me. *Rolls eyes*

Ya ya. Make a wish.

Mr P and Mr XP had to leave at around midnight. Their friend was also having a party at some club, and was already calling them every 15 minutes. Hehe.

Miss A left right after I cut the cake. Her parents were waiting to pick her up.

So it was left with us few, and we chatted til 1am in the morning, when the security guard walked straight to my room.

Security Guard: Good evening *looks at watch* actually, good MORNING guys. You're a little too loud, can I close this door?
Us: Yea sure.
*BOOM*

KNN, no need slam the door right? You slam the door, even noiser than us right?

So anyways, we continued chatting, and Miss D had to leave, because she was also rushing an essay. Hehe!

It was left with Mr A, brudder, the 2 sisters and me.

They only left at 4am.

Wahhhhh....

And so, the aftermath.

ARG! THE MESS!

THE WASHING!!!

And all that's left of the drinks.

They offered to clean up my place before they left, but I told them I'll do it the next day. It was late, and cold, so I told them to leave it.

I didn't really clean up my room til a week later.

HAHAHAHAHA!

So ya! We drank almost all the Vodka Vanilla, the Moet, and MANY MANY bottles of Smirnoff, Breezers, and beers.

Everyone left my place red-faced.

Ho ho ho.

I'm 21 and a month old now. =D

And I have to wrap this entry up. Gonna pack up more stuff, and then get ready to meet my mates from Japanese class for dinner! Miss A, Miss D, and Mr A! (Yea, we all knew each other through Japanese class! Miss A, Mr A and me are Singaporean, and Miss A is Australian)

Lovely people. Can't wait to see them! =)

I love home, but.....

2006-11-20T12:52:00.000+08:00

I've taken down that countdown timer.

Although I set the countdown timer to 18th November, it just hurts to much to know that I'm leaving Sydney... For good.

I finished my exams on the 11th of November. It was bittersweet.

The joy was the fact that I don't have exams anymore.

But the sadness was the fact that I'm never gonna have exams anymore. I don't have to study anymore.

No more late nights, with a cup of coffee and biscuits beside my stacks of notes/papers, pens, and highlighters.

I haven't been doing much since my exams ended, except for packing 3 years of my life in Sydney into boxes.

I had thought it'd be easy to go home. Afterall, I'm going home.

But this task seems so impossible, and so so painful.

It's not an easy feat.

Many reasons why I don't want to leave.

1) The wonderful people I've met here. Absolutely beautiful people, and fun to be with. I guess it's because we're all in the same shoes (ie: being alone in this country without family), so we bond, and we take care of each other. We know what each other is going through, and that's what tightens the bond even more. I can't bear to leave them.

2) The independence I've gained while being away from home for 4 years. I really like how independent I am now. Bills, laundry, food, grocery shopping, and the fact that I have to deal with being away from my loving family. I know I'll lose this independence once I'm home. Crazy thought, but I actually thought of moving out and renting a place when I get back to Singapore.

3) Freedom! The freedom of going out as and when I like, the fact that I can ask my friends over and we can just drink til we puke...

4) Personal space. I hate losing this. I like where I am, and how I have my own bubble where I can do anything I please. My room in Singapore is small, and I've gotta share the house with my family. Don't get me wrong. I love my family to bits. But living alone for the past 4 years... It's gonna be really hard to adapt back to sharing a space with 3 other people.

5) Shopping! Ok. How can you not love shopping here? You buy the clothes here, bring them back to Singapore, and hey! You're the only one wearing that piece of skirt/shirt whatever! Besides, there's DFO (Direct Factory Outlet) here! I think Singapore should seriously build a DFO too. Ahh... I'm gonna miss DFO, and all that end-of-season sale. Too bad Singapore has only one freaking season. *Yawn*

I'm basically gonna miss everything here.

And as I type this out, my heart is hurting again.

Which reminds me. I had a panic attack a few nights ago. I was breatheless, and I thought I was gonna die.

Yea.

Going home scares me.

Shrinking

2006-11-13T11:46:00.000+08:00

I used to be able to fit comfortably into a size 8, and a S.

But how come the size S is too big for me, and I am fitting into a size 6?

Urm.. I couldn't have lost weight, because I've been stuffing myself with food during the exams.

Weiiiiiird... But it's ok. That means more shopping for clothes! =P

Talking about the exams. I am happy that it's over, but it being over means I'm no longer a student, and my life as an undergraduate is over.

It's time to move on to the next phase of my life.

It's kinda scary.

And I'm already missing Sydney and the wonderful people I've met here.

I shall savour every moment I have left.

*Sighh....*

Pui pui!

2006-11-10T11:26:00.000+08:00

The bloody chicken breast I bought from Chinatown 2 nights ago is spoiled!

I used the chicken for cooking yesterday, and just one bite into it, and I spat it out.

How can they sell SPOILED MEAT!!!

It's ok if I ate the meat and it made me so sick that I had to be put in an ambulance, end up in hospital for many days with a drip on one hand, and the nurse's button in the other, and I can miss my Japanese exam tomorrow.

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..

It made me go lao sai many many many times.

So not funny!!!

So. Either the chicken has been left there for very long (but I doubt so cause it was a very fresh color)..........

Or...................

THE CHICKEN HAS BREAST CANCER!!!!!!!!!!

Silly.

2006-11-07T09:27:00.000+08:00

Was about to walk out the door to go for my exams at 12.30pm, when I realised something was amiss..

Wait a minute.... Urm... The exam's at 1.50pm, so I still had about another hour.

)@(*!*#*(*#@*&#

What the!!!!!!!

I am THAT excited to get over and done with it.

I could have slept for an extra hour instead of waking up at 10am (after only 5 hours of sleep!) and studying!

GAH!

Stupid woman!

See!!!! Studying makes you stupid! BLEAH!

Now.. I am so sleepy. No longer psyched up for the exam.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Siao liao.

2006-11-06T19:08:00.000+08:00

Can't wait for tomorrow to be over, before I can take a breather, and start my engines again on Wednesday.

Unfortch, my exam ends at 4pm tomorrow, so no chance of going shopping. =(

I am going mental.

I talk to myself, and dance to myself. I even talk to the pen.

And the ruler. I was looking for my mental ruler, and couldn't find it, so I turned to my plastic one and said "never mind, I'll stick to you then."

0.o

Oh goodness me.

I even talked to the spoon in my sugar, and my cup of tea.

I think I need a husband. Or maybe, a puppy. =P

Aite. Back to study.

The O.C!

2006-11-05T13:13:00.000+08:00

New season of THE O.C STARTS ON TUESDAY!

JUST NICE! I finish my paper on Tuesday, and it's my rest day before I start studying again on Wednesday!

*Mr Burns' style* EXCELLENT!

MUHAHAHAHAH!!!

No more pesky annoying Marissa Cooper. Ergh. Her voice is so nasal, so annoying!

But fuck. What happens when I go back to Singapore?

CANNOT WATCH!!!!!!!!!!! ='(

KOPI!!!!! TEI! Urm... V!!!!

2006-11-04T19:18:00.000+08:00

The amount of caffeine I'm loading myself with...

I won't be surprised if I went through the withdrawal symptoms and cold turkey after next Saturday.

And I'm drinking more tea than coffee, because tea contains more caffeine then coffee, and besides, my 3-in-1 coffee is so blend, the taste of milk overpowers the coffee.

I think I better book myself in for CA - Caffeine Anonymous.

Did I mention, I use to have problems pronouncing "anonymous"?

Out of topic. Back to books.

I feel like a freaking nerd now.

And I have 3 people calling me freaks already.

Yes. I have such "nice" friends.

I love them to bits, nonetheless.

I can't wait for next Saturday to be over.

OHHH LAAA LAAAA!

Fire!

2006-11-04T15:07:00.000+08:00

Oh yea. Last night, my friend living in Newtown asked me on MSN, if I could smell smoke.

Apparently, a building in Newtown was on fire, and there were many fire engines bla bla bla.

And apparently, I was oblivious to those noisy sirens.

Only when he told me to poke my nose out of my window and take a sniff, did I smell the smoke.

Here's the news!

Ah. Such big news and I missed it. Was I really concentrating on my studies? Heh!

Point form.

Lesbian blu-tack couple.

2006-10-31T14:08:00.000+08:00

My friend made this lesbian blu-tack couple. He wanted to make a male and female couple, but I told him this: "I'm living in Newtown. I remain single any longer, and I might just swing the other way. So please, make me a lesbian blu-tack couple, so that I can have a threesome with them should I start swinging the other way."

And so...... Here are my 2 bed-mates.

SEXAH!!!!!!!!!

Food and mugging.

2006-10-31T13:01:00.000+08:00

A while back, my bestie, Miss K, sent me a picture something like that:

She told me that Twisties now have a new product, where the chips are like hotdog.

Check it out.

And at the back of the pack, it shows you how to "make" your own "hotdog".

Oh..........Kay............

So, lemme show you how to make your very own Twisties "hotdog".

First, take the "bread".

Then, take the "hotdog" (It looks damn obscene lah.. But can't help it. It's like that!)

Place the "hotdog" on the "bread".

And TA DA!!!! Your very own Twisties "Hotdog!"

It's damn cheesy. As in.. Cheese taste toooo strong, and well, I couldn't be bothered to make the "hotdogs" and eat them, so I just ate them separately. Hehe!

*****

I'm not updating much, because I'm mugging a lot. Surprisingly, I'm mugging so hard, that even I can't stand myself, and I can't believe I'm actually mugging THIS hard. But I could study harder, and I will. =)

And so, it's time for the highlighters to do their jobs, and the folscap paper for taking notes..

Can you actually believe that I actually did those questions on the textbook, wrote them on Post-Its, and stuck the answers on my book so I won't lose them, and can refer to them? So hardworking, it's UNBELIEVEABLE!

Ah well... Back to my books. =)

Lagging behind.

2006-10-28T01:53:00.000+08:00

Oh oh...

I'm sooooo behind on entries. I haven't even done an entry on the party. Hehe.

My last day of uni was Wednesday.

The days left for me as an undergrad, will be spent studying for my 3 papers.

After that, I'm not a student anymore.

Being a student for the past 18 years (OMG! Too big a number for me to handle! *Grabs heart, falls on floor. Gasping for air! Looks at number again. Faints. Gets up. Faints again.*)

Ok ok. Drama drama drama.

You know. Sometimes I feel like I can't blog about everything. I mean, I have so much to blog on, but I can't.

Because this blog is read by my friends. I can only put what I want others to know, on this blog.

Anything else, is to be kept between me, and whoever knows.

A little intrusive, but it's a personal choice to keep a blog aye? And it's a personal choice to put what you want people to know on your blog.

Oh well... I guess whatever I want to blog about but can't blog about, shall just be kept between me, and those who know. ;)

Blogger should seriously consider putting emoticons.

LiveJournal has pretty cute emoticons, and the variety is just so vast!

I'm considering moving to LiveJournal. Although, that means I've gotta get used to LJ's layout and stuff, and start making a new background all over again. That's the part that sucks.

Ah. About time I went to sleep. I had a rather late night (or early morning) yesterday. I'm not complaining. =)

I shall go and recharge myself, because I have the strangest feeling that I'm gonna be sleeping at half past six in the morning (again) tomorrow.

I've gotta get off my lazy ass and do my grocery shopping. My fridge's totally empty, but I'm stocked up on alcohol... Loads of them. And that's not a good thing.

So yes. Grocery shopping, and toiletries shopping.

If time permits, I'm gonna get that baby doll dress I saw on the website yesterday. It looked fucking adorable on the website. I hope it looks fucking adorable on me too. LOL!

I really do need a wardrobe makeover. I'm so sick and bored of my clothes already! If I can't shop tomorrow, I'm going on a crazy shopping spree after my exams. WEEE!!!!

Dreams and back to reality.

2006-10-23T16:11:00.000+08:00

Oh!! What a beautiful dream!!!!

I wish it didn't have to end! I wish I didn't have to wake up and end up in reality again.

What a lovely dream!! I woke up smiling, and am still smiling!

AHHHHHH!!

Why did it have to end!

Short note

2006-10-22T23:06:00.000+08:00

Hi guys.

I'll update on my party after Wednesday.

Well, I'm still deciding whether to put up the few photos we took, because I am red in all of them.

Yes yes, birthday girl here had a little too much to drink. People were just shoving their drinks to me, "cheers-ing" with me, and making me "ta".

All I can remember is that we drank that beautiful bottle of Moet and Chandon champagne. It tasted soooo good, I want more.

Well of course. Expensive champagne definately taste good. =)

I say anymore, and I'll be updating on my party. LOL

I've got the debate tomorrow (actually, it's today), Japanese test on Tuesday, and a tutorial assignment that I've gotta get done by Wednesday, because our tutor will be checking it.

Last week of school. Last week as an undergraduate for me.

Very hectic last week, might I add.

I have to savour every moment of my last undergrad week.

Cheers guys!

Twenty-1!

2006-10-19T22:19:00.000+08:00

I'm officially 21!!

An adult!

I was just a kid 13 minutes ago! LOL!!

I'm having a party tomorrow, and it's gonna be a whack!

There's gonna be booooooze!!! Hard liquor, champagne, and breezers for the little ladies.

Of course, for those driving, there's Coke! Heheehe.

I've got people telling me they wanna see me drunk already. *Shakes head*

Not good. =P

Anyways!

Thanks to:

- Mr C for wishing me 'Happy Birthday' 10 minutes early. (He called me, but I was in the shower, so he sent me an SMS.)

- Brudder!!!! Exactly, on the dot! Countdown on MSN. LOL!!

- Mr A! Thankew thankew! Now go back to watching your DVD. =)

Aites! I've gotta go get my debate script ready for the meeting tomorrow.

I'm the chairperson for this debate, so I'm basically quite redundant. I told the guys I've gotta leave at 2pm anyways.

I'VE GOTTA PARTY TO GO TO MAN!!! *Chuckles*

Only I can help myself.

2006-10-17T22:23:00.000+08:00

As much as I try hard not to conform to the society's naive and gullible needs, I somehow just keep finding myself falling into that big, ugly trap.

I need to slap myself awake.

I'm torturing myself.

I'm giving myself unnecessary stress.

I'm pressuring myself.

I'm drowning in my own poison.

My very own Dr QUACK! and a HAPPY HIPPO!

2006-10-16T14:45:00.000+08:00

A lot of funny things happened today, but putting them into words does no justice as to exactly how funny they were.

I'll just put them in my memory box in my brain. =)

Before anything else..

CONGRATULATIONS BRUDDER FOR FINALLY MAKING IT INTO MED. SCHOOL!!!!!

I told you to have faith. I knew you could do it! =)

See. Brudder has been rejected by two unis in Australia (Lousy ones I might add). He went for the final interview with University of Sydney's Med. School, and was really giving up hope.

We didn't talk about the results. Well, we called the results the "thingy". I didn't mention it, and so did he.

We knew it was coming out soon, but I didn't wanna ask.

This morning, 10 minutes before I had to leave for lecture, I had a private number phonecall.

I didn't recognise the person on the other line because he was breathing heavily. I thought it was some preverted freak masturbating on the phone!

And I went: "Who's this!!"

Oh. It's brudder. With his heavy breathing, I knew he was happy. (Just don't ask how I know. LOL!)

Brudder: Next time you come to me for consultation, I have to ask for Medicare card liao.

Me: BRUDDER!! CONGRATULATIONS! FUCKING HAPPY FOR YOU MAN! YAY! I TOLD YOU YOU CAN DO IT! KNN! YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME! NA BEI! FUCKING HAPPY CAN!

LOL!

I don't know why the vulgarities came out, but I guess I felt really happy for him, because it's what he really wants.

Besides, I've been telling him every single day to be confident, and not give up hope.

It was really tiring to keep telling him the same thing over and over again.

And I'm glad I did!

I'm gonna have a nice dinner tonight, because he's gonna treat me!

Hehehe.

Everytime something good happens to him, he gives me a treat, and it's always sushi! And I'm not complaining!!!!

His GAMSAT, his interviews....

It's funny how he just had to say that I have to show him my Medicare card, and I know what he meant.

Oh man. I think we can read each other's mind, because we sometimes complete each other's sentences! BRUDDER-hood man!

LOL!

So anyways. My Dr Quack is finally going to be a certified Dr QUACK!!!!!!! WEEEE!!!!!

*****

After class today, we had a rehearsal for that dreaded presentation which is tomorrow.

It was quite funny.

Anyways, after the rehearsal, sweetie Miss D went to buy Kinder Happy Hippo!

I've seen the ads for it, but didn't bother trying it. Then Miss D said they were nice, and bought 2 for me, and 2 for Mr A!

Ok ok. It's reeeeeeeeeeeaaaallllly yummy!

I don't know if they have this in Singapore, but if they do, go try it! It's a dollar fifty for a hippo, so it should be around that price in Singapore (if they have it there).

That's how a hippo looks like, according to Kinder. LOL!

I took a bite into it... And ohhhhh my heavenly goodnessss........

It's soooooooooooooooooooo creamy..... It's heaven!!!!!

It's filled with hazelnut cream TO THE BRIM!!

Really good!!!! Ahhhhhh.... I still have one left right beside me, and it's kinda hard to resist eating it, but I shall resist!

It's just tooo sinful to eat 2 in a day. =)

How can they use this model?!

2006-10-15T19:35:00.000+08:00

I've always been one to kinda hate tanlines.

Especially when it's DAMN obvious.

I personally find it ugly.

So then, I was browsing through the Supre website, and LO AND BEHOLD!!!!

THEY USED A MODEL WHO'S TANLINE IS SO FREAKING UGLY!!

I just can't understand why they used her!

Models are one way of advertising and selling your clothes.

You use a freaking ugly model, in this case, a freaking ugly tanlined model... I don't think people will notice the clothes you're selling, but instead, notice the ugly tanlines.

That defeats the purpose of trying to sell your items right?

It's so darn freaking ugly!!!!!

And then, I saw this dress. So cute! But dang, they HAD to use this model instead of the other model who's tanline-free.

Cute dress! Ugly tanlined model!

I'm gonna think twice about buying that dress, because I can't keep my eyes (and disgust) off the ugly tanlines.

Of brudder-hood

2006-10-14T19:07:00.000+08:00

Thursday night, we went to Chinatown.

By "we", I mean brudder and me. =)

We reached Chinatown at 6pm, with the intention to do our grocery shopping first, then stuff ourselves at Superbowl. But we decided to eat first, since Superbowl gets crowded during the peak hours.

We ordered a huge bowl of congee, king prawns with Szechuan sauce, and french beans with shrimp paste. We decided to give ourselves a treat, since we've been buried in work the past few weeks, and also, we're always eating out at Newtown, and we're sick of the food in Newtown. So since we're at Chinatown, we shall have good ~~dirty~~ food!

After dinner, we went grocery shopping.

And THEN! We went for dessert!

In less than 90 minutes!! Hahahaha!

So we went to Superbowl Cafe. Yea, it's just beside Superbowl, where we had dinner.

We had a bubble tea each, and brudder ordered the chilli fishballs. I ate that before, and it's spicy! But it's the shoik kinda spicy!

And for me... I had a weird craving. Seriously... Weird! I was craving for 汤圆! So yes, that's what I got!

Funny thing is, I've never eaten 汤圆 before... Or maybe... Once or twice.

My 汤圆 took damn long to come, whereas his fishballs were on the table in a flash, so he started ~~abusing~~ playing with the fishballs and the long sticks that came with it.

That... Ladies and gentlemen... Is what brudder calls... The "kanna gangbang" fishball.

Yes yes! Everyone, quick make this face! --> -_______-"

THEN!!!! This bo liao kia decided to show off his Medical Studies study, and did a "open heart surgery" on the fishball.

I feel that the picture looks offensive. Seriously. I told him that he facing the "opened" part to me, is like showing me a vagina. ~~Which reminds me of a local porn I watched...~~

Don't you think it's like a vagina?!

Ok. Everyone. Do the face again.

Anyway. My 汤圆 finally made it's way to the table, and I was spared from whatever else brudder could come up with the fishballs.

Yes. Here's my boring, untouched, un-surgery, and un-gangbang-ed plate of 汤圆.

Boring hor?

But not for long.

I used my spoon to cut the 汤圆, and peanut started to flow out!

And then, brudder JUST had to say something disgusting.

He said it's like people's "watery shit coming out".

-________-"""""

Never mind. My appetite's still intact.

I was on my second 汤圆, when I saw a hair STUCK TO IT!

By that time, I was grossed out already. So he told me to put that hairy 汤圆 into his empty bowl.

I did. And I started on my third and final 汤圆.

While I was eating my last 汤圆, he started saying that the hair on the hairy 汤圆 looks like the chef was digging his nose, and the hair got stuck while he was rolling the 汤圆.

For your info, the hair was the head-hair, not nose-hair kind of hair!

Ya. He saying that grossed me out.

I really had trouble swallowing the 汤圆 in my mouth.

I had to close my eyes and cover my ears, and chewed my 汤圆 for a long time, before I had the courage to swallow it.

THAT'S NOT THE END OF MY NIGHTMARE!

He was abusing my hairy 汤圆!!!!

He started "gangbanging" it with the sticks, then cut it open, and pulling it apart!

THEN!!!!

He was mixing it with the chilli in the bowl!

So.. I couldn't resist, and poured some of the red bean thingy onto the un-recognisable 汤圆.

We also poured a little of our bubble tea on it.

MUHAHAHAHA!!!

The outcome?? The gross-est looking hairy 汤圆 ever.

Sorry. No pictures. My phone got grossed out. Haha.

One more thing.

Our bubble tea was really foamy, cause they use the machine to shake it.

So all the foam was on top of my pearl milk tea right?

He started saying that it looks like........ And he trailed off.

So I said "SPERM!"

BWAHHAHAAHHAHA!!!

*Ahem*

To end of this entry, everyone.. Make THE FACE!

-__________-"""

*****

Was about the end of this entry, when brudder and I were just talking about the past. Talking about the first time we met, and how easily we got along.

He said that the other guys are jealous of our brudder-hood.

Mr XP was telling brudder that he's jealous I'm his brudder, because it's hard to get a girl to be a brudder.

Seriously. I don't know how we can be so comfortable with each other. We talk about EVERYTHING.

And yes. The comfort level is damn high, cause we burp in front of each other.

MUHAHAH!

When I can burp openly and loudly in front of any of my friends, it means I'm damn comfortable with them.

So comfortable, that while we're talking on MSN, we can just say "Oei! I needa shit! BRB!"

LOL!!

And today, I cooked some beef and rice. He, being the typical student with no money and eating instant noodle, I decided to share my beef and rice with him.

He ate it, and said: "You really can open restaurant lah. It's DAMN GOOD LOR!"

Then he changed his MSN nickname to "who needs newtown resturants...when theres a 5-star chef in SUV....= p"

How sweet's that!

He's eaten a lot of the stuff I made. Tiramisu, snowball cookies, chee kweh... Along with the other things I've made. And he always says they're nice. =)

I'm so gonna miss him when I go back to Singapore. No more talking kok sessions. =(

The best thing is, there are no romantic feelings involved. =)

People asked if I will ever fall for him, or sleep with him.

And I always tell them: "It'll be incest! And it's gross! Just the thought of it!"

I love having this kinda relationship with guys. No feelings involved, and I'm treated as their brudder, but they still respect me as a girl. =)

I don't have that kinda relationship with much guys, because they always fall for me.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

The three R's.

2006-10-14T18:47:00.000+08:00

As I've stated in my previous entry, during my 3 years in uni, I've probably killed more trees than what the Indonesians are burning now.

This is just one stack of it.

The only thing I had to use for measurement, was a battery. I was lazy to get a ruler to measure its thickness. So yes. This stack is about the height of a battery.

I have so much more than just this stack. I've thrown a lot of papers, and I'm also using a lot for rough paper, and been printing my notes behind these papers.

Reuse, reduce, recycle!

Oh yes. I also use those papers that are used on both sides to eat on. I mean, when I'm eating in front of my computer, on my study table, I'll put the paper on the table, then rest my bowl/plate/cup on the paper.

Yea, I use the used paper til the max. If I could use it as toilet paper, I would!

But it'll hurt my delicate bum bum. =)

Letting go.

2006-10-12T13:36:00.000+08:00

The room inspection's between next Tuesday to Thursday.

Feeling domesticated, I decided to do some cleaning up, and packing up at the same time.

Funny how time seem to fly pass so fast. I'll be home next month. And that time will come soon, before I even notice it.

I was packing up some winter clothes and thicker clothes last night.

And today, I was sorting out my lecture notes and textbooks and whatnots.

It brought about this flood of memories.

Seeing those made me very nostalgic.

My first year in uni. The first Psychology essay I did, and was so proud off, but flunked it. Because I didn't know I had to use more references. Because I didn't know how to properly structure an essay. Because I did not double space my essay.

And look what's become of me now. 71% for my recent Human Resource Management individual assignment. Comments such as "well written & structured", "the hypothetical self-reflection - very interesting idea", "a very precise introduction was provided, summarising key issues and structure of the essay" and "the application of the theoretical framework and the reflection on hypothetical behaviour was thorough and analytical".

The thing that's making me snigger, is the fact that this essay was finished 5 hours before it was due.

Yes. I started only 2 days before it was due, because Japanese this semester is a huge pain in the ass. I started my readings earlier, but only got down to drafting 2 days before. I did my essay from 8pm the day before it was due, and was only printing my essay at 9am the next day. I slept from 9am to 1pm, went for my 2pm class, and immediately went to hand in my essay.

71% for a rushed work. *Beams*

That's beside the point.

Since year 1, I've seen different lecturers and their expectations. They differ so much that I wished they had standard requirements throughout the uni. Instead of this lecturer wanting this essay that way, and this lecturer wanting that essay this way, why can't they standardise, and just go "ALL LECTURERS WANT ALL ESSAYS THIS WAY AND THIS WAY ONLY!"

Why make life so hard?

Clearing up all the notes and handouts from first year to last semester, I reckon I must have killed more trees than what the Indonesians are burning now.

I printed a whole textbook for a unit of Sociology last year. The freaking textbook costs 90 bucks, and I felt like it was a waste of money to buy it, so a friend and I borrowed the textbook from the library, and printed all the required pages. Cost us only 25 bucks to print what was needed. See how much we saved? =)

Looking through the stacks of papers I have, I came across my study notes. Those that were done before the exams. You could actually see the crumpled-ness of the paper. Some of the highlighted areas are faded. Some of the notes hold messy handwritings.

So proud of myself, ya know?

And I could see a couple of the notes, with teardrop stains.

Yes. I do tear when I'm stressed. Especially during the exams.

Drinking 3 cups of coffee. Keeping myself awake with snacks (i.e Tim Tams and Pringles). Sleeping at 8am, waking up at 2pm, and starting this routine all over again. Basically, pulling an allnighter.

I have 2 weeks of school left. After that, I'll be doing the aforementioned routine. One last time.

It saddens me.

I don't want to go home, yet I do.

It's like being caught between 2 people.

It's like moving house.

You can pack all your belongings into boxes and move them to your new home. But you can't pack the memories you had.

Honestly speaking, I don't want to go home.

I like it here. I like living alone. I love the independence. The freedom.

Although I do miss home, I do love being alone. In my own little world, doing my own things, without anyone scrutinizing my every move, telling me what to do.

I would love to stay and do my Masters. Why give up the chance when my grades can get me into a Masters course?

But there are factors stopping me.

I am not happy with just a degree. Everyone holds a degree nowadays. I want to climb higher. I want to get more than just a common piece of paper.

I want to do my Masters. PhD. Doctorate.

I want them.

But I can't have them.

Masters.... I can smell it. But I can't touch it.

A month left.

I hate the thought of leaving.

I hate the fact that I'm walking around my room, looking at everything, and thinking "I'm gonna give you away" or "I'm gonna donate you".

I was making a midnight snack of Nutella sandwich last night. I looked at my knife and plate, and thought: "I think I'll just throw you guys away."

Looked at my tv, my DVD player. It's going to him.

Looked at the files, and the stationary I have. It's going to brudder.

Everyday. I'm walking around my room. Everything I see, I'll be deciding where they're going to go when I leave.

Most will be given away, donated, or thrown away.

I can't bear to leave.

I really can't.

It is really like leaving a part of yourself here.

I left Singapore, and started a new life in Melbourne, then Sydney.

And now, I've got to leave what I started, go back to Singapore, and start all over again.

Why is life full of complications and obligations?

Why is it that people can't bear to let go of things?

3 years of my life in Sydney cannot be just "packed in boxes and shipped home."

KNNBCCB! LOL!

Tuesday's finally over!

BUT!!!!!!!!!

MY PRESENTATION HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK TO NEXT WEEK!!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

Because last week, we had the video conferencing with a lecturer in Japan, so last week's group couldn't present.

Our teacher said that they'll present on the final week of the semester, but but but!!! Only today she said she sent an email last night informing us about the change in schedule!

*WAILSSS*

All that rushing. All that preparing. All that sleeping late and me falling sick..

So pek chek!

Anyway, tomorrow's the last day of the week for me. I have a test tomorrow, sort of like a mid semester test.

Oh well.

I don't feel like an intellectual entry today. Go away if you're looking for an intellectual read.

2006-10-08T20:21:00.000+08:00

The Australians are trying very hard to prevent bush fires from happening. A bush fire means houses and lives are lost.

Whereas the people in Sumatra (is it Sumatra?)... Are burning the forest like nobody's business, causing Singapore's sky to be hazy and gloomy, and making people fall sick like nobody's business.

What is going on?!

They never sign the Kyoto Protocol ar?

I heard the PSI (Is it PSI?) is now 150?? (I think I've got my facts TOTALLY wrong. Hehe!) Few of my mates, and my family in Singapore are victims of the haze. =(

Why are they burning trees?? Why can't they cut down the trees, and send it to the whatever-you-call-it to process the trees and make papers? Or toilet papers?

Or or or... Why do they even burn the trees for? TOOOOOO many trees is it?

Burning trees = pollution.

Eh, don't know what is global warming is it?!

Global warming means we will all die one day, because it will get sooooo hot. Singapore will become an underwater country, because it is soooooo hot, that the icebergs in Antarctica and whatever-else-poles-that-are-on-the-map will melt, and the world will be covered with water, and sink underwater like that don't-know-what-show-that-explored-the-underwater-world-that-was-lost-after-a-massive-flood. And also, the world will be covered with polar bears, and penguins, and seals.

But the polar bears, seals and whatever else cannot survive also, with all that oil spills, people throwing their coke bottles, potato chips pack and condoms into the beach when they go there and have a picnic, get horny, and have sex.

What is the point of this un-intellectual entry?

Ackchelly, it's just to tell people in Singapore to take care.

HO HO HO!

And ONE more thing!

THANK GOD I'M NOT THERE!

MUWAHAHAHA!

P.S: People in Singapore should walk around with goggles and carrying a huge oxygen tank behind their backs.

Because inhaling burnt tree smell is not nice. =P

*****

Archery on Friday was good! Helped with the setting up of the board, which was really heavy. The wooden stand pinched my hand, and now I have this awful blue-black. Damn pain.

Minimal damage to my arm this time round. Compared to last Friday's damage, the damage is only 1% of last Friday's! The string only hit me 3 times! WEE!! I'm getting good at archery! Or at least, I'm getting good at avoiding damage to my beautiful arm.

*****

Had the group meeting with Miss D and Mr A regarding our presentation on Tuesday. Longest group meeting I've ever been too.

We were together for 5 hours!!

But it was good fun. Everything's done, now we're just waiting for Miss D's part, compile them, and we're done!

Well, have to bind our "Harry Potter", and also practice our presentation.

After the whole meeting, 3 of us, and a few other people who are either 3 of our friends joined us for dinner at Hoochi Mama!

I know. The name of the cafe is so cute. Hehe. So retro. And the people working there are damn cool and funky lor! Oh. This cafe is located in my residential area. Hehe!

So. Dinner's done, I've printed some stuff, and am just waiting for Miss D's part, which is also the final part.

I am so sleep deprived, it is soooo not funny.

I'm feeling very bitchy.

And I am not counting down to my birthday.

The thought of it.

Angers me.

Upsets me.

Wake me up, when Tuesday is over!

2006-10-05T19:17:00.000+08:00

I am so going to hate this coming Tuesday.

Report for Japanese Culture due.
Japanese Culture test.
Japanese Culture group presentation.
Japanese Language test

Kill.... Me....

The report is a summary of this lecture we had. We did this webcam lecture thingy with a lecturer in Japan.

Actually, it's a long story, I shan't bother going into that.

Archery tomorrow!!! WEEE!!!

My left arm will probably be permanently scarred. But I don't mind. Archery is fun! I actually look forward to Fridays now. Hehe.

I'm actually planning a birthday bash.. For myself. I know lah, very sad right? Plan a party for myself...

But I'm actually feeling quite sluggish about it. I have abso-fucking-lutely no mood to celebrate.

And I suddenly just lost the mood for blogging.

Where'd you go, I miss you so...

2006-10-02T22:12:00.000+08:00

It seems like forever, that you've been gone... So come back home.

And so, the boy left for Singapore just 3 hours ago.

He was in Brissy for the weekends, his cousin's wedding. Only came back to Sydney Monday morning.

I saw him for 2 hours today, before he left for home, then the airport.

Technically, he's going away for a month, and 4 days have passed already.

And I'm missing him so much.

Considering that I have about 6 weeks left here, he being away for a month, means we're left with 2 weeks, before I leave Sydney for good.

"Thank you for understanding."
"Who said I understand? I don't have a choice."

Every single day he's away, is a moment lost.

Every single day he's away, is a day less to spend together.

"Are you sure you wanna board that plane?"
"Sa... Don't do this.."

I am angry. Angry that he left me. For a month. Missed our anniversary, missing my birthday.

Will I ever forgive?

Will I be making him feel guilty for all his life?

"I miss you so much..."
"I'm sorry..."

I'm losing touch with you.

2006-10-01T04:54:00.000+08:00

I used to know this someone...

Loving and patient, gentle and caring.

But I hate what he's become.

Cold and sometimes heartless, un-empathatic and no longer patient.

I am disappointed in his behaviour, and what he's become.

It's killing me inside.

It's killing me slowly.

I no longer know this someone he has become.

Indolent imbeciles piss me off.

2006-09-30T18:37:00.000+08:00

That HRM groupwork. My goodness. Those people don't know what 'sense of urgency' means.

This girl, J, sent her part out to all of us first. Wow. Efficient. I was the second one to send mine out, then the Aussie born Asian chick, P, sent hers third.

The other 2 fucking lazy China girls.. Y just sent hers today. The other one. The pig who complain about how busy she is and even showed us her diary to "prove" that she's busy... We haven't spoken to her,haven't talked to her, AND HAVEN'T SEEN HER WORK!

Mother fuckers.

So anyways, because J and I handed our part on the same day, we decided to take the initiative to fill up the forms: minute template, meeting agenda and 2 other useless forms. Even she knew that the other 3 people won'tbe taking the initiative to do those, so she said "you do 2, I do 2."
So yea, we've both done our forms already. Then P came online the next day, and I told her of J's and my arrangement. That we'll do the forms, andthe remaining 3 of them will divide up the other sections of the essay: Executive summary (300 words), introduction (150 words), summary (300 words), and conclusion (150 words).

So P said she'll do the executive summary, Y VOLUNTEERED (there's a reason why I capitalised that word) to do the summary, and because the pig isn't online (in fact, she is so hard to contact ok!) we decided to let her do the introduction and conclusion. 300 words in total.

P emailed this info out, and no one complained. Then today, J messaged me on MSN and said she found it very unfair. Unfair that the 2 china girlshanded their part late, especially the pig, who's work we've yet to smell.

J also said that Y is not happy with the arrangement, and said thatshe is busy, has a lot of work to do, and thus feels that it's too heavy a workload for her to do the summary.

I was so pissed, because Y VOLUNTEERED to do the summary! And now she's backing out, saying that she's busy. She even said she'll call for an online meeting tomorrow night, and discuss the division of labour.

I swear. Anyone who complains that they have other work/assignments to do during the online meeting tomorrow, I'm totally going from the quiet and agreeable one, to the fucking bitchy one.

I refuse to take on the leader role in this group assignment, because I know that if I did, they would push everything to me, and would slack off, especially the pig. I chose to keep quiet, and agree to whatever has been assigned to me.

But this is the last straw. They've totally rubbed me up the wrong way. ANYONE who complains that they have a lot of work to do, will get screwed by me.

"Hello? You're not the only student in this group assignment. All of us are students, and all of us are also taking other subjects, and have other assignments and tests to study for. So like you, we are also busy. So what right does that give you to complain and whine and think you're the privileged one?"

Thank goodness there's the peer evaluation form for this. I'm so going to mark down Yand the pig. And guess who's getting the lowest score of all?

PIG!

Bruised arm

2006-09-30T13:23:00.000+08:00

That's my arm.

And in case you can't make out what's on my arm... This is what's on my arm..

I have 2 big bruises (blue black), scratches, and I am unable to straighten my hand.

It hurts like hell. Yeaaaaa....

How did I get these bruises? I am doing drugs. Injecting my arm.

BWAHAHAHHAA.

Nah.. I had wild sex man! The bondage kind, where whips and leather come out to play, and hot wax plus feathers...

WEEEE!!!!!

I wish.

Ok. Here's what really happened.

Like the MapleStory character I have on MapleGlobal, which is an archer, I did archery!

Yep. I kid you not.

I'm officially a member of the University of Sydney Archery Club.

Ho ho ho.

See. Archery is one of those sports which isn't very common in Singapore, unlike Sepak Takraw, or football, basketball, or.... Urm... Ballet.

Archery, in Singapore, is one of those sports where you have to go to a certain place to learn it. Besides, classes are rather expensive in Singapore.

As a student of Sydney University, I paid a very small amount. Compared to what Singapore is charging, it's damn small. How small? 15 bucks. With bow and arrows and coaching included.

I wanted to play with guns. Air rifle sorta, but I found out that if I wanted to take up guns and bullets, I have to travel damn far.

So anyways, archery is nearer, cheaper, and so much fun!

The bow's pretty light, but when you're pulling your arm back, ready to shoot, the bow can feel pretty heavy, and your hands will shake, because of the force. You know, you're holding the bow in place with one hand, and the other hand is pulling back the arrow, so the force is basically going opposite ways.

I'm not a Physics person, so I can't really explain that well.

I did hit the yellow mark a coupla times (bullseye lah!!), but most of the time, it was on the blue mark (the next ring after bullseye).

Pretty well done for a first timer!

I wouldn't mind making it a permanent hobby, but you need a license to own a bow in Singapore (you don't need any license to own a bow here, that's why the President and Treasurer of the Archery club has their own stylo-milo bow ok!!!).

Sigh.. Why didn't I take up this sport earlier? Why did I only take it up when I'm leaving Sydney?

Oh well. Anyways, I'll be going for shooting at least once a week, if not twice.

Exciting!

My brudder, who went for Archery as well, have always been treating me like a guy. He calls me brudder as well. But yesterday, he said this:

Him: I finally know my brudder is a girl!
Me: And what made you realise that?!!!!
Him: My brudder is a tough chick man!
Me: ???
Him: Arm so sore and bruised, but still carry on shooting. Power man!!
Me: *BIG SMILE!*

Despite the sore arm, we carried on shooting for 2 hours.

-Tra la la la!-

Dum di dum!

2006-09-26T22:25:00.000+08:00

Go catch it. Seriously. If even the boyfriend enjoyed it, you will.

The who's who in the fashion industry made cameo appearance, including Gisele Bunchen! *I don't know how to spell her family name. Hehe.*

******

This spring break seems to pass so fast! My gosh. It's already Wednesday morning! -___-"

And I haven't even done anything "holiday-ish". Sad life....

After this holiday, we're gonna have to "chiong" all the way til the exams. Thinking about it, this is my last holiday. *sob*

Haven't got much to update on. Seriously.. That's why I haven't been updating.

Sigh....

I am so bored..........................

=)

2006-09-20T12:38:00.000+08:00

I had an entry all typed up and published it for like 10 minutes.

Then... The superstition kicked in, and I decided to remove that entry.

I don't want to jinx myself.

It's a good entry.

In fact, it's a damn happy entry!

I can't say why. I believe in "jinx".

At the end of the year, I'll publish the entry. Whether it went well or not, I'll publish it. =)

*ECSTATIC-NESS!!!!*

Sulks...

2006-09-19T23:07:00.000+08:00

Browsed through Friendster.

Saw friends with pictures of their 21st birthday.

Huge party, huge cake, huge bouquet of flowers, loads of pictures with loads of friends...

Lemme just go sulk in the corner once again.

*I know I shouldn't feel so sore. It is afterall just a birthday... But I sulk as much as I want to, when I want to.*

Happy, happy, not happy.

2006-09-19T20:45:00.000+08:00

Received an email, an invitation to a job interview. Big company! Damn well known in Singapore!!

Happy lah!

I applied for that position like 2 weeks ago, and to receive their email, of course I was ecstatic!

Until I read further down..

The interview is on Thursday, 21st of September.

本小姐 is in Sydney.

How to miraculously appear in Singapore?

Fuck.

*****

Tomorrow's the last day of school for me. After that, I've got a week off. Mid semester break.

Even so, it's kinda like a sad holiday for me, because the boy's gonna be out of town for 3 days to attend a wedding.

I won't even go on about October. He's going back to Singapore for lasik, and bloody hell, is going for 3 weeks, which bloody hell means he's missing my birthday.

My 21st birthday.

The all important age.

The birthday where everyone throws a huge party and party like they're not gonna turn 21 again.

I'm gonna be really upset during the month of October.

One: He's going away for 3 weeks.
Two: I have 59 days left here, and he'll be gone for half of that time.
Three: MY BIRTHDAY!! =(((

I'm gonna be so lonely. So lonely to the extend that I'm gonna sing that song... Yes... THAT song..

LONELY!!!!! I AM SO LONELY!!!! I have noBARDEEE!!!!!

-__-"

*****

The draft timetable for the exams are out. 3 papers in one week.

Which means I finish my ~~exams~~ semester on the first week of exams.

After that, I'm no longer a student.

After my last paper, I no longer am required to go to school.

*Sob*

Needless to say, after that, I have to pack up and leave.

And that's the saddest part.

And that's the part I am dreading the most.

=(((((

I have to think positive. I was feeling dreadful mainly because of the above for the past few weeks.

Now that I'm not really thinking about it, I should embrace this short-lived happiness I have now.

*****

Talking about the mid semester break... I've got like 3 group meetings man. One meeting for each subject I'm doing.

I dislike the people in my HRM group. 3 gals from China, one Aussie born Asian chick, and me. Out of the 3 China chicks, one of them is the laziest. She's annoying the shit outta me.

She keeps saying: "Oh.. I haven't done the readings yet.. I am so busy you know? I have this assignment, that assignment.." and proceeds to show us her diary.

Hallooooooo...... 你有压力，我有压力。社会也有压力啊！！！

Duh......

And the 3 of them.. They made me so angry during one of the tuts. The Aussie chick didn't come, so I was left with 3 of them. We were told to discuss our answers for the questions we were suppose to do for homework. ALL 3 OF THEM DIDN'T DO IT!

Better still... They have the cheek to ask me to explain the whole bloody story to them.

去你妈的啦。。。

*****

Ok. I've gotta go shower now, and then do the discussion questions for the HRM tutorial tomorrow.

I just hope those lazy bum bums are gonna do the questions too. If not 我会踢她们会去中国！！

Houston, we have a problem.

2006-09-18T12:37:00.000+08:00

High stress level + PMS + Un-cooperative people = Cranky bitch.

I think taking cig breaks are a good release. You get 5 minutes to yourself, to calm yourself down, and to re-analyse the things you're doing.

I need to calm down, relax, and most importantly, BREATHE!

2006-09-16T22:15:00.000+08:00

Does he not notice the sadness in her eyes?

Does he not notice the tears in her eyes?

A week ago...

2006-09-13T14:28:00.000+08:00

A week since I've last blogged, and I don't miss blogging one bit.

I know of people who've shut down their blogs because they're no longer interested in it, but I doubt I'll shut mine. I want to leave it here.

Memory sake. =)

*****

Was walking home from school this arvo, and I saw this van parked at the road near my place. Whipped out my phone, and tried my best to take a photo while walking.

I failed. I know.

You guys can't see it, but this van is a delivery van.

The name of the company is one you can never forget...

Kikarse.

I am a YouTube junkie.

2006-09-06T12:59:00.000+08:00

YouTube is like weed! Keeps you going back for more!

ARG!!

Worse still, I'm using the school's internet, pay as you use thingy, so I'm spending like 6 bucks everytime I visit Youtube!

Justine! I started watching that Korean show you introduced. The cute guy you're saying, is the owner of the restaurant is it?

If it is, you can have him, and keep the change.

I still prefer my Satoshi-kun. =P

I happen to see this on YouTube. Go see it! Never knew FF's graphics are so... Human-like!!

And I know FF's a game, but how come she's singing on stage? What's the FF game about anyway? How come they can have so many parts to the game? I know a secondary school friend who's crazy over FF, and use to talk about FF1, 2, 3, 4, etc etc.

It's not my fault if you turn into a YouTube junkie. =)

2006 MTV VMA

2006-09-03T12:08:00.000+08:00

Definately not lip-syncing, was Shakira at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards. Boy. Can she really move those hips of hers.

She went out of tune a coupla times, but most of the time, she's in tune.

*****

Beyonce looks like J.Lo! No??

Didn't like her song. And the dancing mid-song.. It was cool, but quite pointless.

*****

Justin Timberlake's dance moves were damn good, but his voice at the beginning?? Wassup with that!

Sounds like a girl singing, or some little kid who's voice have yet to break (a.k.a haven't gone through puberty.)

His voice is soooo annoying, I had to skip the beginning part because the hair on my back were standing!

*****

Fergie's performance quite ok. Didn't really like song though. "London London bridge!"

-___-"

Still prefer her in BEP!

And those are what I call SHORTS man!

Oh oh! You guys should watch this remix of MTV clips man! They used Fergie's song, but threw in MTV clips of a coupla Japanese singers!

Go figure out who they are. But I must say, the dance moves really fit the song man!

*****

CHRISTINA AGUILERA!!!

Sing such a serious song. Ahh... Abit... Spoil the moment huh?

Couldn't she perform this instead?

Let the people at the party shake booty abit mah!

Should've known that white dress wasn't gonna stay innocent throughout the song. =D

*****

I told you YouTube is my friend!!!

Can you believe it?!

2006-09-03T01:11:00.000+08:00

My TV hasn't been on since Thursday 10.30pm.

That's more than 2 days.

And me, being the couch potato that I am...

Can you believe it?!

*****

I started out my readings for my assignment feeling sian and totally un-motivated.

One chapter later, I was actually enjoying myself.

I have been geekified.

Can you believe it?!

*****

You better.

Because they're both true.

My friend said he's impressed.

I told him I'm impressed at myself too. And I scared myself as well.

Gah.

I..

2006-09-01T10:26:00.000+08:00

If you're wondering where that came from, go to YouTube, type in "Miss Swan", and watch the few episodes there are.

She's fucking funny.

"You nice lady!!" *cheesy grin*
"Ok ok. I tell you everything."
"He look...... Lika man!"

I tell ya, you'll be rolling on the floor laughing your ass out.

She's hilarious. =D

*****

Work is piling up. I never learn do I? I procrastinate too much and leave it to the last minute, then I start to panic and stress out.

I've got my HRM assignment due on Tuesday, a Japanese essay writing on Wednesday, Japanese role-play next Monday, and I've got to get the interview questions translated to Japanese, and mail it out to my Grandma in Japan by next week.

=(

And I've got a group meeting for the role-play in an hour. =((((

*****

I've been having relationship dreams these coupla days.

I wonder if the dreams are actually telling me something.

I know it's just a dream and I shouldn't ponder about it too much, but it feels so real, it's like telling me something, telling me to act on it.

Are my dreams a reliable source to looking into the future?

*****

It's already September.

The countdown thingy on the right has a 7 in front. I remembered when I first put it on, it was 89 days, or somewhere along that line.

Got about 2 months odd left. Not long to go.

It's already week 7 of school next week. I'm halfway there.

I feel a tug in my heart just thinking about it.

Look to the future, Lisa. Look to the future.

*****

Gotta get ready to leave house soon. Need to go to the Arts faculty and enquire about something.

I hope they talk to me nicely.

Don't want an episode my friend went through.

She went to the Summer school office and ask when the booklet will be ready.

The lady at the counter said: "You're not listening to me! I told you the booklet is still printing, so I can't tell you what subjects are available for Summer school!"

Friend: "Look lady. You're not listening to me. I can speak English. And what I'm asking you now, is when the booklet will be ready!"
Lady: "I told you, I can't tell you the confirmed subjects, because the booklet is not ready!"
Friend: "Are you even listening to what I say? I KNOW the booklet is printing. I want to know when it will be ready! As in, when it will be done! When will it be published? Finish printing?!!! Get it?"
Lady: "Oh... You didn't say earlier. End of September, it'll be ready."

Mind you, the lady is Aussie.

These people are those who presume that we're Asians, therefore can't speak English.

Excuse me, I think we speak better English than you.

If I get this kinda lady at the Arts faculty later, I'm gonna fuck her upside down.

*Stands in front of mirror and practices a fierce face, and practices a growl, and a "LISTEN LADY!!"*

Teehee!

Words of wisdom.

2006-09-01T00:07:00.000+08:00

Mom has been on the lookout for jobs for me. In particular, jobs that are seeking for Japanese-speaking people.

Wow. Mom must have a lot of confidence in me and my Japanese language skill. I wish Mom could pass that confidence to me. =P

One of the companies she told me about is a big company. She gave me the website to it, and I started filling in their online job application.

As I started filling in the fields, I found it harder and harder to fill the application in. My heart actually started beating faster and faster.

I have been going for this Career Skill talk for the Arts student for the past 3 weeks. Although I had to skip lecture to attend it, I never regretted going.

They taught you how to write a good CV, a good resume, what job opportunities there are for Art students, and they even got a lady from Bain to come and talk to us about their company, why they hire Art graduates, and how to ace an interview.

As someone who's graduating at the end of this year, and who's going to be thrown into the workforce, I found this Career Skill talk damn valuable. Thank God for the angel in me who talked me into going to this talk.

Anyway, back to filling up the job application. I realised I have some regrets. Under the "Other information" area, I filled in all the awards I've won, me being chosen as a Peer Mediator, my promotion to NCO in NPCC, and other stuff.

I regretted rejecting the chance to be a prefect in seconday school.

I was in Sec 2, still at that old premises. Before the flag lowering ceremony, Mrs Tan Ai Lin went up to the podium, and called out my name and a few others. To have the discipline mistress call out your name in front of the whole school is scary. Throughout the whole National Anthem and announcements, my head was filled with question marks. "What have I done?" "Did I do something wrong?" "Oh no... I'm gonna get punished!!". All these thoughts where flying through my head.

Finally, at the end of the ceremony, I, and the few others who were called, went up to Mrs Tan. She said: "Your teachers have deemed you as good candidates to become prefects. Are you interested?"

The first thing that went through my mind: "Prefects are losers. Prefects are teachers' pet. My friends are going to find me uncool, and be scared of me. No way man!"

And that was why, I turned down the offer to be a prefect in secondary school.

IF I had been a prefect, I could add that in my resume. Being a prefect shows that the teachers trust you. There are so many good reasons.

I wouldn't have been a Peer Mediator too. But Mrs Tan insisted, and my Dad also insist that I be one. I actually argued with Mrs Tan, and told her I didn't want to be one. My Dad kept questioning me, asking me why I didn't want to be. He said that I was capable, and that to be selected, it shows that the teachers look highly upon me.

I remember storming up the stairs, and I screamed: "I'm a useless fuck. I don't wanna be a Peer Mediator. Leave me alone."

Yes. That was the first time I used the f-word on my parents. I've always regretted that.

In the end, I knew I couldn't win my Dad and Mrs Tan especially, with her constant bugging me during the assembly. I relented, and went for the training. Mrs Tan gave me a lift home. =)

I'm glad I relented. I had my first case when I was in Secondary 3. It was with 2 well-known students in school. It was frightening. Really.

*In case you guys are wondering what a Peer Mediator is, it's sort of like being the middleman, and helping the 2 students involved in a conflict sort out their differences, and talk it out, instead of resorting to the "I CALL MY GANG" shit. So in a way, it's mediation. =)*

With that, I can happily add "PEER MEDIATOR" as one of my accomplishments in my resume.

Being a monitress for a few years in secondary school is also another accomplishment I can add in my resume.

NCO, Peer Mediator and monitress. They are all about taking on the extra responsibilities being thrown at you.

And that, plays a very big part in polishing up your resume.

Well, what I want to say is, if any opportunity comes up, take it. Even if you'll be seen as uncool by your friends, take it. It'll be good for your future. And it's your future that counts.

I don't have an elder sister/brother to tell me this. So I am telling you guys out there now, especially my baby sister.

Do well in your CCA. Because when you get your "O" Level certificate, you'll also get the CCA cert. If you don't perform well in your CCA, it's written in the cert. And it won't be a good reflection of yourself.

If you get the opportunity to be a prefect or whatever else, take it.

Another regret of mine, is not taking Chinese seriously.

If I had really put in the effort to study Chinese, I would be able to be fluent in 3 languages, and I can confidently put "Fluent" under the language field.

Realise how you start a sentence with if, especially when you're thinking of the things you've done/not done in life that you regret now?

It's too late for regrets now. All I can do is look forward, and stop living in the past. =)

FUCK!

2006-08-29T21:55:00.000+08:00

I remember someone told me that FUCK was actually an acronym for Fornication Under Consent of the King.

That was in the olden days, where I think if a couple wanted to make love/have sex/fuck, they needed the King's consent.

How weird would that be??!!!!

Husband of couple: Your Majesty. My wife and I would have a little lurrrrvin' tonight... Can we get your consent?
King: NO!
Husband of couple: I'm horny like hell I tell ya! I needa hit my wife up man!
King: Ohhhh...... I'll give you consent if you lemme watch ya!
Husband of couple: Yea sure! A threesome with the King? Bloody awesome!
King: Men! Issue this horny couple the Fornication Under Consent of the King permission slip! And cancel all my appointments for the rest of today.

Ah. Lame-o.

Anyways, it's kinda interesting how FUCK became a vulgarity.

Wiki is another of my best friend, besides YouTube and some other webby. Go read up on FUCK!

Well, at least you have a conversation starter up your sleeve that you can use at a party!

But then again... Maybe not...

Guy: Hey. Urm.. So.. Great party huh?
Girl: Yea...
*Cricket chirpping*
Guy: So.. Do you know that "FUCK" actually means "Fornication Under Consent of the King"? How cool is th..
*BISH*
Girl: WHAT KINDA CONVERSATION IS THIS! Well you know what!
*Points middle finger*
Girl: That's what I call the FUCK YOU JACKASS!

.....................

Ok. This entry is so lame, that I'll prolly won't be having any readers anymore.

*Everyone walks away, muttering "lameeeee" under their breath.*

2006-08-27T21:48:00.000+08:00

E-store updated!

Check it out here!

Yes. We decided to stick to Blogger instead of LiveJournal. =)

******

I received a note from the post office on Wednesday, informing of a parcel that came in for me.

The parcel I've been waiting for.

Went to the post office on Thursday afternoon, and was soooo happy to see this.

Opened it while walking home.

I have to say. I am deeply touched.

In this highly anticipated parcel:

Yes. My friend sent me a bible after knowing that I've been turning to God, and after I comment that I wanted a bible. He offered to buy me one. And so, he did.

He even bought Christina Aguilera's new album for me!

And he threw in a keychain, and a letter.

That's my bible.

I am a proud owner of a bible.

=)

Thank you, my dear friend. *Hugs*

Picking myself up and moving on.

2006-08-26T10:28:00.000+08:00

I'm sorry to do this to you guys, and I know it's annoying, but I'm going to password protect this blog by tonight.

I have thought of moving my blog elsewhere, but I like it here.

I have deleted the other blog that only one person knows of.

I will give out passwords if you're interested.

If not, it has been nice having you visit my blog.

Good bye.

Scrape that idea. I just realised that I'd be inconvenienced too. I would have to go through typing the password just to check out my tagboard.

Niah!

Big whinging up ahead!

2006-08-24T22:30:00.000+08:00

I am going to whine.

I injured my second finger on my left.

Don't ask me how.

But it hurts like hell. I can't bend it upwards or down.

I have to keep it straight.

I have to type with the finger in the air. (That sounds wrong, but anyways.)

My friend said I might have hurt my ~~tenderloins~~ tendons. (I think that's what he said. Bloody medical term.)

Sob sob.

I actually contemplated putting to ice cream sticks and bandage my finger so that it stays straight.

Lol!

-End of whinging-

=)

I had a good chat with a friend tonight. Sitting outside my room, chatting.

We both agreed it was a good chat.

I'm feeling a little nostalgic.

A nostalgic look back of my times in Sydney when I leave Sydney end of this year.

Sigh...

Arg!!!

2006-08-23T12:58:00.000+08:00

Was reading this.

Couldn't resist, headed to YouTube (my new best-est friend!), and watched this.

Please tell me I'm right, when I say that all the backups are FAR better than him.

He can't sing. He can't dance.

What made him think he could!

*****

I've watched the DVD of a Japanese drama my friend lent me.

The lead actor and actress came together to film a... film together again, and they're supposedly dating!

The lead actor is the guy in Tokyo Drift, the one with 5 seconds of fame. Remember? The one who pointed to the 2 Japanese girls, then finally said: "GO!" I mentioned him before here.

Yes. That cute guy.......

It's funny cause he didn't have a name in Tokyo Drift, so under his filmography, he's known as:

The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift - ( Exceedingly Handsome Guy / 2006 / Released / Universal Pictures Distribution )

And another website says:

The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)... Handsome Guy.

BWAHAHHAHA!

But he IS cute!!!!!!! *Drools*

As for the girl.. Only knew she existed after watch the DVD.

=(

I want Satoshi-kun to myself!!!!!! =( =(

*I sound like a teeny-booper. Lol!*

*Slaps self*

*Stop it.*

*Stops*

I am so close to putting up a banner of him on my blog.

SOMEONE STOP MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

Ok. I'm just kidding. =)

It's just a little thing. Like how I'm in love with Vin Diesel, Jessica Alba, Angie Jolie...

That's 2 males and 2 females. *Gasp*

BWAHAHHAHAHAAH!

Speaking of which.

Everyone. Yes. I mean everyone.

Everyone is bisexual.

But it's usually the women who admits it. Because the men are oppressed.

One day, when I feel like being the Sociologist that I am, I'll explain that in further details. And when I feel like it, I'll throw in Freud's theory.

If you wanna prove me wrong and tell me not everyone is bisexual, please drop me links/proof.

Because, seriously, go read up on Freud. He my man. *Rolls eyes*

But yes. Everyone, is bisexual.

*Just thought I'll make that statement the biggest of all. Just for the impact. Hoho!*

Somewhere only we know.

2006-08-22T22:18:00.000+08:00

Caught The Lake House today.

Loved the beginning, loved the middle, hated the end.

I was hoping that wasn't gonna be the ending, but alas, the credits started rolling.

Gah.

My face was totally >_<".

My friend said: "The Notebook and The Lake House.. Notebook wins hands down."

I cannot agree more.

Loved the tracks played during the movie too.

I got a little confused after the show. At the back of my head, I knew why they managed to meet, but I guess it was a little on the unconscious side, so I could half figure out what I was thinking, and the other half, I was blank.

Gah.

*****

Weekend starts at 1pm tomorrow.

Hurray!

Before that, I've got a Japanese quiz. =(

And I've got the HRM tutorial, in which we've gotta work in our groups. This group, is the group we're gonna be with til the end of the semester, and also, we'll be doing a group assignment with this group.

I hate my group. 3 Chinese, one Aussie born Chinese, and yours truly.

I was telling them we should meet before the one week break, so that we can work on the assignment, meet up a final time during the break and finalise everything, get over and done with it, then relax.

One bloody bitch said: "Oh. But I have other assignments to do."

KNN. Like you're the only one with assignments to do. I have assignments, quizzes, role-plays, and presentations.... You don't see me complaining!

Fuck off lah, self-centred bitch. The world revolves around your huge ass, and only yours.

Bitch.

*****

There's this guy who's blatantly flirting with me.

Harmless, MSN flirting. But I can't stand it.

I told him to stop doing it, but he just refuses to stop.

Annoying.

Best of all.

He bought the phone I was going to get.

KNNBCCB!

And I told him: "Damn. You also get that phone. I guess I'll just have to wait for a new model to come out."

To that, he replied: "Get the same phone lah. Then we can be like a couple."

Diu lei lou mou understand?

Espèce d'idiot!

Lei l'idiota!

I think you get the message.

And the grand finalè.

Embrasser mon âne!

It's that crossroad again.

2006-08-21T20:57:00.000+08:00

I remember blogging every single day. Sometimes, once a day. Sometimes, more.

Nowadays, I've been lagging behind on my entries. And I don't seem to mind.

All the while, I thought I already had my mind set on "That Plan". But today, a friend asked me if I was staying for Masters. I said no, but already, there was this battle going on at the back of my head.

For the entire day, I have been talking to myself. Questioning myself. Asking myself if "That Plan" was really what I wanted. Or do I, deep down inside, want to do my Masters?

I'm at that crossroad again. I thought I've passed that crossroad. But it seems, I'm back where I was.

That crossroad. Frustrated me. Annoyed me. Gave me sleepless nights. Made me bawl my eyes out.

Yes. It's that crossroad.

Can someone just! Please! Give me an answer!

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his
steps.
Proverbs 16:9

I have been living by this, day by day. When I doubt myself and my plans for my future, I keep repeating this sentence in my head.

BUT WHY DOESN'T IT WORK SOMETIMES?!

WHY IS IT THAT I KEEP LOOKING UP INTO THE SKY, HOPING THAT AN ANSWER WILL DROP FROM THE SKIES ABOVE?!

WHY!!!!!!!!!

I am going out of my mind. It's driving me crazy!

PLEASE JUST GIVE ME A FREAKING ANSWER!

IS WHAT I HAVE PLANNED THE RIGHT THING FOR ME TO DO? OR SHOULD I STICK TO MY ORIGINAL PLAN?!

I just wish time would stop at this very moment.

Sigh.

I'm at my wit's end.

Of hail, hailmen, and bummer's club.

2006-08-16T19:58:00.000+08:00

The last hail I experienced was 2 years ago.

I was living in the studio apartment. The view was spectacular. I had a good view of the Village Green, a.k.a the lawn, a.k.a our fire evacuation area.

The lawn, where people took out their snowboards and bodyboards, and boarded on the lawn.

View of the lawn on 5/9/04.

I also had a view of the carpark, and could hear every landing sound of the hail on the poor cars.

The last hail, was on the 5th of September, 2004.

Fast-forward 23 months later, to the 15th of August, 2006, and you've got another one.

I'm living in a one-room apartment now, a corner room. I have a "garden" outside my window. Now. Add "corner room" and "garden", and you'll get a "mountain of hail".

Yep. The roof was sliding off hails, and so, the pile of hail landed on my garden.

View that greeted me when I stood at my door.

Couple of my guy friends came over to my place, saw the mountain of hail, and started throwing hail-balls. It hurts. Hurts a hell lot more than snow. But it was good fun.

After one of the guys left, I was left with 2 other dudes. We built a hailman each. Hehe!

Our hands were frozen! We couldn't feel it! I had to blow warm air into my hands before I could take a coupla pictures of our hailmen!

Meet Mr FrostyOne, Mr FrostyTwo, and Mr FrostyThree!

Hehe. Cute aye!

We chatted for awhile, and had a cig each. And well, being the bummers we are, we decided to make use of the hail, and a few props to showcase our bumming.

It's like some cig and alcohol advertisement aye! We 3 love this picture!

It's a really nice picture. Booze and cig, and hail. Woohoo!!

And so, after we finished our cigs, waddya expect!

Can't see? Here's a close-up!

Ahhhh... It was great fun.

Woke up at 9am today for my class. First thing I did was to look out the window, and see if the hail has melted.

It hasn't! Must have been THAT cold huh!

Even after I left house at 3pm for a movie, the hail has yet to melt. =)

To describe the hail and the view: Spectacular, magnificent, and breath-taking. The scene, was a beauty.

Wonders of nature.

Random-ness

2006-08-16T19:39:00.000+08:00

There's something wrong with my laptop, and Blogger.

My keyboard's not working properly.

And Blogger... Grrrr....

I was almost done with an entry, and wanted to upload the pictures using Blogger's "Add Image" thingy.

It said there's an error, and closed my IE!!

MY ENTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways. I have to start all over again. Sigh...

*****

About time I put a picture of my black hair. There. My black hair. Taken this morning when I realised I had about 10 minutes spare time before I had to leave for school. =)

*****

Brudder and I found this new pizza place near our place! I no longer have to go to Domino's Pizza which is about 15 minutes walk from my place! Domino's Pizza is located at a really secluded area, so I wouldn't dare go there alone.

Anyways! This new pizza place offers 2 pizzas for 11 bucks on Mondays and Tuesdays!

Brudder and I went to get us each a pizza on Monday. We both had the Supreme.

It's cheap, and it's HUGE, and good too! *And you wonder why the people here are the size they are.*

Just to make you hungry, here goes!

*****

This bitch guy friend of mine. He's a real bitch. I've mentioned his bitchiness before in a few entries.

He likes bullying me and my other gal pal. He calls us name, and is quite un-gentlemanly at times.

Names he calls us are bitch, whore, slut bla bla bla bla bla. But it's usually these few.

Basically, it's him and me squabbling most of the time, leaving my gal pal laughing to tears.

So anyways, the only way to shut him up is to say something to leave him gobsmacked.

So this was what happened after we squabbled for awhile, and I was dying to make him shuddup.

Bitch friend: You stupid whore!
Me: I'm not a stupid whore! I'm a clever whore!
Bitch friend: "....."

We 3 burst out laughing, and he stopped calling us names.

Ho ho ho!

*****

I didn't watch The Lake House yesterday as planned. =( My friend had a last minute notice about the cell group held at her house. Oh well. Re-scheduled to next week.

But I did watch Miami Vice today!

I LOVEEEEEEEEE.... The music. Hehe. Numb/Encore remix.

I also loved the gruesome-ness! It's not as gruesome as Sin City, but you can see this guy's hand being blown off. You can see blood splattered on the wall when a guy was shot in the head, and blood splattered on the ship when this other guy was shot in his chest with a hugeass gun!

I am saddistic. Ho ho ho.

I also also love the guns. They're more realistic than the other movies. The other movies' gun scenes are like "bang bang". Miami Vice, it's like...... Urm... Don't really know how to type out the sound effect. Hehe. But it's realistic.

Oh yea. TOO MANY SEX SCENES! You don't get to see anyone naked, but well, half the time, they're having sex. -___-"

Brudder said: "Oh. And I just realised the director of Miami Vice got sex in shower fetish"

HAHAHAHA!

I agree!

And Gong Li. She looks old. What a waste. She's quite a hottie for a Chinese lady. Oh well, at least she's aging gracefully. =)

*****

Kate Hudson and Chris are spliting up after 6 years of marriage!

I love Kate! Her smile's so sunshine-y!

Kinda sad to hear another Hollywood couple heading for splitsville. =(

*****

There's this party at The Well, the pub downstairs. The theme's CEOs & Corporate Ladies.

It's empty. You can practically count the crowd with your fingers and toes.

Damn sad. This semester, the residents here are so not happening.

What a failure, this party.

I think they can stop organising parties. It's better to have no party, than have a party with practically no one attending.

*****

I suddenly lost my train of thought already.

Actually, ain't got anymore to update on I think.

Cheers! =)

Jammed pack Tuesday!

2006-08-14T22:01:00.000+08:00

Class from 10am all the way to 3pm.

After that, I'll be having dinner with a friend, and we're gonna watch The Lake House!!

YAY!!!

And on Wednesday, another friend and me, we're gonna catch Miami Vice!!!

WEEE!!!!

That's what happens when I haven't watched movie for a month, I catch 2 in a week!

=)

A short phonecall goes a long way.

2006-08-14T19:55:00.000+08:00

Friend of mine called me all the way from ~~Singapore~~ Tekong before lights out.

He said: "Technically, and geographically, I'm further away from you, now that I'm in Tekong."

LOL!

I think we talked for a good 23 minutes. I hope your phone bill doesn't give you a heart attack. =)

Little phonecalls like that from friends in Singapore cheers me up. Makes me feel missed.

Unfortch, my other friends, or what's left of the friendship, aren't as special as this friend of mine who called.

I'll be waiting for my CDs and hopefully the New International Version to appear in my mail!

The calling

2006-08-13T23:25:00.000+08:00

I was talking to a friend of mine today, before he had to go back to camp.

He asked if I was coming back for good.

I told him, in a way, I'm not.

And he said: "You're leaving again."

I couldn't see his expression, nor hear his voice over the MSN, but somehow I felt a kind of sorrow, that I wasn't going to be back in Singapore for good.

I told him I had plans. That I've shelved my plans for Masters, and have decided on another plan.

My grades permits me entry to a Masters course. I can study anytime I want, but I can't always have such a good chance at work. If any good opportunity for a job comes, I'll jump on it.

And that's what I have decided to do. I've decided to grab the opportunity, and keep aside the idea of doing my Masters.

Study, that can be done anytime. A good job, it's a once in a lifetime offer.

Besides, I need money to study.

If in the future, my grades aren't good enough for entry to Masters, at least my working experience could get me into Masters, if they don't change the entry criteria.

For now, the entry criteria is either you have a degree and have a credit average, or you have at least 2 years working experience.

I have the former, but I lack the latter.

And the latter, is what I have decided to pursue.

I have always believed that God has laid out a path for us, and that our destiny cannot be amended.

But if we sit around and not do anything about it, we will not be successful.

Sometimes when I'm thinking about my future (which starts in 3 months!), I wonder what path has God laid for me.

I thought about the time I decided to come to Australia to study, and I wonder if that's the path God has laid out for me.

As for the plan, I am afraid of failing. But that's in God's hand. Whether I fail or not, it's my destiny. But I always believe, that God loves his children, and wouldn't want any of his children to suffer. So I choose to think that I will be successful, and that my plan will work out just fine.

Let me just share with you this:

In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his
steps.

Proverbs 16:9

Times like these, I seek solace in God.

I am not a Christian, but I think I know where I'm leaning towards, especially during times where I look up to God and talk to him.

It freaks me out sometimes, because, like I said, I'm not a Christian.

What freaks me out even more, is when I know I've done something wrong, and I fear the punishment God is going to give me.

Another thing that freaks me out, is when I read some verses off the bible, and it makes me tear.

I spoke to another Christian friend of mine, and I told her about the above. She said: "You'll know when the calling comes. You just know."

Which makes me wonder... Is this is? Is this the calling she mentioned?

French toast baby!

2006-08-13T12:55:00.000+08:00

I love it when I wake up happily (well, not really.. A friend cancelled dinner plans with me. Was looking forward to it. But anyways..), and I'm in the mood to cook up something nice for breaky. Well for me, it's brunch. =)

Simple, yet so yummy. French toast! I never really liked egg, and never really ate french toast til one day, he cooked it for breakfast, for me.

My french toast today, is drizzling with maple syrup *sweet!*, and sprinkled with cocoa powder *sweeter!!!*.

And with a cup of tea, my brunch, is complete.

Ahhh... Satisfying..

Would have been better if it was breakfast in bed. =(

BTW! Mr CM! Even though you said my chee kweh looks nothing like it, it tasted JUST LIKE IT!

I had good reviews ok, and a friend said I could open up a store in my room, calling it "Lisa's breakfast."

But I told him we'll have to call it "Lisa's dinner/supper", because I never wake up in time to make breakfast.

Tee hee!

Chee kweh!

2006-08-12T14:12:00.000+08:00

The thing about living in Australia is that you can't find food that you can so easily (and take for granted) in Singapore.

You have a choice of what you want to eat for breaky. Porridge, soya bean, chin chow, nasi lemak, mee rebus.... The choices are vast.

Here. Your choice is not much. Maccas' breakfast meal, or BLT, or whatever else the cafe serves.

I really miss Singapore food. Laksa, fish slice bee hoon, rojak, indian rojak, roti prata bla bla bla bla bla.

Basically, everything in the hawker centre, except well... Yong tau foo. I don't like that stuff.

So anyway. Since I can't find all these kinda food here, the only choice left is to make them!

Yep! I made ondeh-ondeh a few months back. I LOVE ondeh-ondeh, and I could eat them everyday in Singapore, if not for mom telling me "eating too much coconut is not good for your health!"

For my first attempt, I would give myself 5/10 for the ondeh-ondeh. Neh. I could improve so much more. =)

Today, I finally got down to making chee kweh!

And for my first attempt, I'll give me 7/10!

Not good enough to open a shop and sell, but once I make some changes to the recipe, I can give myself 21/10!

Hahahahaha!

I sent mom the picture, and she said it looks good, and asked me to send the chee kweh to her. Hehe. *Blush blush*

I made them, and I ate 2. :x

I didn't have the chee kweh mould, so I had to improvise by using some bowl cover thing. Heh.

So anyways. I realised my cooking, or rather, baking, has improved here. My dear friend has been bugging me to make more of the snowball cookies I made. Everytime I see her, she'll be asking me for snowball cookies. -___-"

And when I told my brudder that I'm gonna make chee kweh, he too, has been bugging me to make them.

I'll be calling him over to my place once he gets back from his training, and he can stuff his face with chee kweh!

FRESHLY MADE!!! =D

And so, feast your eyes on Lisa's very own... CHEE KWEE!!!

=D

Hungry? Hehe.

Imma go watch my Japanese DVD now. I swear, this is one funny show I'm watching. And I watched 2 parts of it last night, til 6 in the morning! One cd is about 2 hours long, so yea. I'm so sleepy now, but I'm gonna stay awake to watch part 3!

Encouragement.

2006-08-11T22:01:00.000+08:00

I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:13

I want to thank a friend for sending me that verse.

It's amazing how I memorized it word for word, just one time after I read it.

When things ain't going my way...

2006-08-10T22:56:00.000+08:00

Look on the brighter side of life.

I've got this really crazy plan for after my graduation, and I am so excited about it, I just want to quit uni now and just do it.

That's just about the only thing I can look forward to.

Let's get to the darker side of life.

I haven't got the strength to feel any emotions anymore.

At least, not for now.

I am mentally exhausted, and I don't know how much more of this I can take.

Don't blame me for not updating. School's been really hectic, and I'm starting to hate that too.

Just a small little thought. The 18th of November is the last day of the exams.

Unofficially, the 18th of November marks the end of my semester, and most importantly, the end of my stint here.

If my exams end earlier than the 18th of November, then let it be.

I am leaving Australia for good. And I'm leaving as soon as my exams finish and when I've packed up everything.

From today, it's about 3 months and a few days more.

So just to let me know of my remaining days here in Sydney, I've left a countdown script. It's counting down to the 18th of November.

It's also to let that someone know of the time left he has with me, here in Sydney, here in flesh. What you do with this 3 months, is all up to you. I don't care if you spend my final 3 months with me or not. But don't regret. This 3 months is the last time I'm going to be here.

I am pissed of at you. Yes. You. My final 3 months here, and you don't give a flying fuck. Your phonecalls are more important than me. You know I've learnt to stop expecting from you. You get pissed off when you know I am doing well without you.

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO?

SIT HERE, CRY AND WAIT FOR YOU TO RESCUE ME?

Don't blame me for not calling you or asking you out. I'm not going to wait around til you're free.

You're not gonna spend the last 3 months with me, it's fine. You know I'm gonna enjoy it myself anyway.

You should know me by now. You know I can survive without you.

Because I am me. The rebel, the strong-headed one.

If you think I'm gonna crumble because of you, think again.

2006-08-07T10:10:00.000+08:00

Have been having broken sleep these few days. It's annoying. Especially when I wake up at 3am in the morning, and it takes me an hour or so to get back to sleep, only to wake up at 6am, sleep, and then wake up at 8am again.

I use to be able to sleep til the afternoon, like 1-2pm. But nowadays, even if I slept at 4am, I'm automatically up at 10am.

It's annoying me because I love my sleep, and I don't seem to be enjoying my sleep these days.

I guess it's due to stress.

3 months before my stint here is finally done.

3 months before I can officially call myself a graduate.

You know, they told me that when I turn 21, that's when my adulthood/life really starts.

Couldn't agree with them more.

Parents called on Saturday night after a brief chat on MSN regarding my plans after I graduate. I was trying to avoid the topic, but they still caught up with me via the phone.

When asked the question, I teared. Mom spoke to me for awhile about the topic before passing the phone to dad. Again, the question was repeated, and this time, I sobbed uncontrollably.

I don't want to go through the whole phone conversation again. At least, not now.

But I know I used up a lot of tissues, and my nose was red and sore, my eyes a little swollen.

I am at the cross-path now, and the anxiety is really kicking in.

I have sacrificed 4 years of my time studying in Australia, far from home, instead of spending that 4 years at home, with my family.

I wonder if it's about time I went home, and make up for the lost time. Or should I sacrifice another 1.5 years doing my Masters, and when everything's finally over, I can go home with no regrets?

Dad said not to regret my final decision. You think I want to? I don't want to do something next year, and regret that decision. But right now, I'm unsure of what my decision is.

Which reminds me, I should go and write up the pros and cons list soon.

This problem has been haunting me since the beginning of this year. As the time passes, I get more anxious, more worried, more unsure, and more lost.

How time flies. It's already August. November, and it's all over for me.

3 months. It's not a very long time. It's a very crucial time.

Until I finally have a decision, I'm going to be really stressed, anxious, and having broken sleep, for the next 3 months.

And by the way, I'm turning 21 in 2 months. So my adulthood/life started before I was 21.

I cried on my 20th birthday. I think I know why.

I will be crying when the clock strikes midnight on my 21st birthday, and this time, I will know why.

Because I know that I'm left with less than a month. Do or die.

Dad said: "Like the Nike ad, Just Do It."

I'll "Just Do It", if I had a solid decision, Dad.

In the meantime, it's the pros and cons list for me, and also, to really communicate with my head and heart.

Happy... damn belated birthday man!

2006-08-05T15:35:00.000+08:00

Urm. I was looking through my archives....

And..... Urm.. Realised that July 23rd was this blog's 1st birthday.

2006-08-05T15:24:00.000+08:00

I'm so in love with this necklace......

Nice or not?!

*****

It's a Saturday, and I'm bored shit.

I had a phonecall on my mobile phone from a Melbourne landline last night at 7pm. Rang once and hung up. Never called back...

Then this morning, at like 9am, on a rainy day that's so good to sleep in, another freaking call! This time from a Sydney landline to my mobile! Same thing! Rang once and hung up, never called back.

WTH?!!! Prank call or do I have 2 admirers in different states who're so shy to call me and talk to me?

LOL!

NO MORE!! I WANNA EAT MY DINNER AND SLEEP TIL LATE IN PEACE! STOP PRANK CALLING ME!

*Meek voice* Actually, it's freaking me out.

Ahem!

*****

Oh ya. Those who are reading this now, if you're free tomorrow, come back to my blog around say.... 3pm Singapore time?

I have one HELLAVA (hell of a??!!!) entry for you!

*****

I shall go rot now.

Slightest hope crushed

2006-08-03T20:54:00.000+08:00

You know the feeling of having your hopes crushed?

It's like your heart has been thrown off the cliff, into the ocean, landing at the bottom of the seabed.

You feel so down, that in order to see the ocean's surface, you have to look up.

In the end, it doesn't even matter.

What's a girl supposed to do?

2006-08-02T23:50:00.000+08:00

Was surfing the net when I heard a sound.

So I turned to the floor, in the direction of the sound, and horror, horror, horror...

A FUCKING HARD-SHELL COCKROACH TRESPASSED INTO MY ROOM!!!

Fucking hell.

I hate ka zhuas. Any kind at all. I just hate them.

ESPECIALLY THOSE HARD-SHELL COCKROACH!

They have such hard shells, that even if you whacked them with a bunch of newspapers, THEY WON'T DIE! Not only do they have hard shells, they got thick skin too.

Chiiiiiiicken.........

At first, I thought I'll suck it up with my vacuum cleaner. But that'll dirty my vacuum.

So I ran to my lounge to get..... PESTICIDE!

That fucker was crawling around under my bed, so I sprayed it hard.

Started struggling, and walking like a drunkard. Got worse when I sprayed pesticide on it mercilessly.

THEN IT CLIMBED ONTO MY ROOM SLIPPERS! MY CUTE LITTLE CHICKY SLIPPERS!

Then it went to all the wires. No choice but to keep spraying.

Finally, it stopped moving. To test if it's dead, I sprayed a little more, AND THE FUCKER MOVED!

He tried to struggle, and tried to walk (to I have no idea where), so I sprayed, and finally, I took a plastic cup (from Gloria Jeans lah, not a cup from my own utensils!) and covered the cockroach.

It was running around the cup, tryna get out. Neh. No chance.

Finally, it stopped moving, got weak, and couldn't even be bothered to run anymore. I quickly used a paper to flick it into the cup, put the cup in a plastic bag, and that plastic bag into another plastic bag, tied the ends, and immediately went out to throw that bag, in my pjs.

I was tip-toe-ing around my room, until I decided to wear my slippers (not the chicky one.) around my room.

I shall go get bedroom slippers tomorrow. And vacuum my floor. I wish I could

Oh yes. I've already sprayed insecticide along my window sill, and outside my house. So any ka zhuas wanting to come in, will die at my doorsteps.

Took me like a full 10 minutes to kill that bugger, but it only took me a blink of an eye from putting the fucker in his coffin (the cup), to throwing it into the dump outside.

Amazing how I worked so fast in that situation.

Fucking ka zhuas. To hell with y'all.

Scare me only.

*Sobs*

Moral of the story: I need a man to live with me.

Kawaii ne!!! pukes

Knew he couldn't have been an "extra" on the set of Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

Except, I didn't know his name. And also, he was on screen for like 2 seconds, with a one-liner.. Nah. Make that a one-word-er: "GO!"

-_____________________-"

But hey... People is big star in Japan ok! And apparently, he was in the Tokyo Drift movie, because the director specially made a cameo scene for him.

Hehe. He's the cutest in the whole movie can? The lead actor, as I've said many times, is ugly.

Sala person lah. Bring Vin Diesel back anytime! Oh yea, they did, for like 2 seconds too. Hehe!

See the cutie here!

Funny how an email from my Japanese co-ordinator can make me smile.

I e-mailed her 2 days ago, asking if I could change my class venue, explaining that if I were to stick to the venue I was supposed to be in, I will be late for class by like 10-20 minutes, because I have a class before Japanese, and the 2 venues are gonna be so far apart.

She replied, saying she agreed with me, and called me "Lisa-san".

Hahahah! She's so cute I tell ya. She's so tiny, white hair... Typical Japanese grandmother type.

Then there's another Japanese teacher of mine. She reminds me of my mom. I don't know why. Maybe it's the way she talks to us in the mother-ly way.

Sigh... I miss my mommy and my obaasan. =(

*****

Been getting loads of compliments about my "new" hair. Ahh... I must say, I love it too.

Wanted to catch a movie today, but a friend couldn't make it. So we had dinner together... =(

Movies to catch:
- You, Me, & Dupree (You've gotta love Kate Hudson. Such a bubbly personality, and a great smile!)
- My super ex-girlfriend (For some laughs. The other Wilson brother is in this one.)
- The Lake House. (Somehow, I feel that Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves just have this very good on-screen chemistry. I saw the trailer for this show, and I think it's gonna be a really romantic show. The kind that'll flood my eyes with tears. Ahh.. I love this kinda movies, where they still believe in love...)

3 movies to catch! I'm trying to catch a movie every Tuesday, because it's cheaper. I hope the first 2 movies will still be showing when I catch a movie next week!! Lake House is still relatively new, so that can wait. If time permits, I might just go for 2 movies on a Tuesday! Weee!

*****

Jamie won BB'06. Neh. I was hoping Camilla would win, but good on Jamie as well. He and Katie are just so cute!

*****

I took an arvo nap this arvo, and had a terrible nightmare... OF MY BRUDDER!

Think I should stop hanging out with him. LOL! I told him that, and he put the crying face on MSN.

It was the kind of nightmare, where you wanna open your eyes to wake up, but you're just sooooo tired that you can't.

Gah. I finally forced my eyes open, and I was lying on my bed, refusing to move. Hehe.

I wonder how nightmares come about anyways.

*****

My weekend starts tomorrow at 1pm! Yay! I can't wait. I need to catch up on sleep, I've got work to do, and because I've got work to do, I need to go to the City to get stuff, I've got bloody 4 Japanese quizzes next week. 3 for my Japanese language class, and 1 for the Japanese culture class.

Damn. Japanese this semester is really kicking my ass. Blaaaaaa.

*****

Time for me to go prepare for my HRM tutorial tomorrow. Oh yes, a friend's birthday tomorrow. Gotta remember to send a text message. *Reminds self*

See ya soon!

*SONY ERICSSON K800i!!!*

Friday: Haircut, party, and a STREAKER!

2006-07-30T21:12:00.000+08:00

Lemme guess. The last word of the title was what made you wanna read this entry right? LO!

This is what happens when I don't blog immediately after some happening night I had. Can't really remember some details. Hehe.

Friday arvo, I went to get my hair done. Yea. I no longer have the many-shades-of-brown hair anymore.

It's JET BLACK! A hint of brown under the sun. ;) Also got it layered. I'm so happy with my hair!

Friday night, I went down to the pub at my place. Well. I got dragged down by the guys. So yea. It's a welcoming party for those new to Sydney. Wasn't interested in going, but since I haven't got anything to do, I went.

First thing I got when I walked down and joined the gang, was this guy, XP who went "Wow! You look so pretty!"

*Blush blush*

*Blush somemore*

Heheh! *Blush blush blush*

Yea so. Urm. Ya. Hahahaha! He said I looked damn good, and with my "new" hair, I looked even more exotic looking.

How's that for the start of a night! After he said that, I cling on to him the entire night. Hahah! Just kidding.

Met loads of new people. Didn't drink. Well, I took 2 sips of John's Long Island Tea. He said the guy at the bar was drunk already, so he added a tad too much alcohol into the LIT. It tasted so strong!

Urm... Chat and mingled around the whole night....

At the end of the night, the fire alarm went off because the DJ did some special effect that had smoke. So yea. Firemen came.

We had to assemble at the open space, and while we were there, a highlight of the night came running onto the open space....

.......
.......
..........

SOME GUY DID A NUDIE RUN!

STREAKER!!!!!!!!!!

I can now officially tell you guys, that white men do not have huge dicks. =D

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Well, the gang decided to go over to Cassie's place to hang out, but I didn't wanna go, so my brudder and I hung out at my place, polluting the air, and finished about half of the vodka we have left.

Dispersed at around 3.15am.

Well, that about sums up the exciting Friday I had. =)

For my girl.

2006-07-30T20:36:00.000+08:00

I just wanna give you a BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

Specially for you.

Take care, and don't let the boogeyman getcha!

I miss you heaps, and I love you!

*Bearhugs and many smooches for my special girl!*

Painting Melbourne red!

2006-07-30T20:11:00.000+08:00

I was in Melbourne during my hols.

Keeps me wondering, why did I leave Melbourne for Sydney.

The convenience of going to places, the serenity of Melbourne...

Most importantly, my girl, my rock. The only one who kept me sane while I was in Melbourne in 2003.

Her dad and her were such champions, picking me up from the airport before I flew back to Sydney via the strong, gusty wind that greeted me at Melbourne airport, and putting me up at their place.

The same place I stayed over, spending those nights giggling and keeping each other awake. Those nights that saw us shivering under our blankets. Those days that saw us messing up the kitchen because we were baking, which was quickly consumed by my girl's cousin. =P

Melbourne has its own natural beauty.

Its beauty is in the beaches. White sands, clear water. So clear, that every ~~spieces~~ species swimming in the clean water is visible to the human eye. Jellyfishes bobbing up and down. Starfishes on the sea bed every now and then.

That is a sight you'd never get to see in Singapore.

The trams are so old-school, yet, they are what makes up Melbourne.

I love people-watching. Melbourne city is bustling with activities. It's a perfect place to people-watch. It's so therapeutic, it's so uncanny.

I was brought to places I've once been to. Melbourne. Such a beautiful place.

One place I really enjoyed, was Chapel Street. Shopping heaven for the shopaholics. Rows and rows of shops, both exports and local designers. God forbid I blow my credit card and debit card there. Don't worry mom, I didn't. *cross fingers*

We both stuffed our faces with cakes at Grecco (did I spell that right babes?). The cakes are HUGE!

I'm a big fan of whipped cream. But I overdosed on whipped cream that day, and I'm swearing off whipped cream for awhile.

Another place I absolutely miss and love, is Max Brenner. The key to getting fat, fat and fat. In all definitions of the word.

I mean, even if you ain't feeling hungry, just looking at the picture makes me wanna gobble up everything again! Marshmallows and strawberries go so well with choco. Both of those, banana bread, and dried apricots came with a small bowl of dark choco and milk choco. The former choco's my fav.

Queen Victoria Market. My favourite place while I was living in Melbourne. I lived 2 blocks away from Vic Mart. Use to go there almost twice a week. It's just the atmosphere there. The people buying their groceries enough to feed a hundred people, the people chilling at the cafe. The little doggies running around. The little blonde girls with huge, blue eyes. Divine sight.

Of course, we did bake something. Something my girl and I use to eat in Singapore at Old Chang Kee..... We made CURRY PUFF!!!! Ahhh... The smell and the taste... I can remember the taste... Yummmmmmmm!!

On Tuesday night (or was it Wednesday night? ARG!), I took my girl and her dad out to dinner. To thank them for their hospitality, and for putting up with me and my nonsense. LOL! The decor at T.G.I.F is almost like Hard Rock Cafe. Weird portraits, and even a canoe was hanging on the walls!

Melbourne. Sweet, sweet Melbourne. Why did I ever leave you?

Exhausted

2006-07-29T01:58:00.000+08:00

Tired.

One of the many times in the past few weeks where I just wanna put my hands up, look up into the sky, and shout: "I GIVE UP!"

Many things happening around me, and as much as I thought I've comprehended them, sometimes I can't help but think that I've yet to fully grasp what's been going on.

A lot on my mind. It's really a whirlpool of emotions, and thoughts.

Just feeling plain exhausted, in every aspect of the word.

Feeling unmotivated as well. Feel like I've lost the drive.

I've actually got a long post saved under "draft". Have yet to fully upload some of the pictures taken. Stupid blogger/internet has been screwing around with me.

Am dehydrated. That's what killing your lungs and vanilla vodka does to you, kids.

I didn't have much to drink, but I'm just gonna have an alcohol-induced sleep.

When I wake up, it's a new day.

Surprise call from Singapore!

2006-07-24T22:21:00.000+08:00

I got a missed call from a "no caller ID" when I was showering just now, and I was dying to know who it was.

Asked around, everyone said no.

Then I thought of my dear friend who's currently in the army. Been there for only 2 weeks, and he's breaking apart. Not because of the army, but because of personal matters.

So I sent him an SMS, to ask how he was... 10 minutes later, he called.

It was he, who called me earlier when I was showering.

It was nice to know he's doing fine. It was also nice to say hello to another secondary school friend of ours who's in the same platoon as my friend who called! Another seconday school friend of ours is in another platoon, but they get to meet up and stuff.

Things aren't going well for him, but I hope he pulls through. =)

Photograph

2006-07-24T21:18:00.000+08:00

"Every memory of looking out the back door
I got the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye"

My favorite song from Nickelback.

I was looking through some photos taken since my first year in Sydney.

I found a lot of differences between the me now, and the me in 2004.

I miss my long tresses.

I've lost weight.

And then there was an us.

We weren't going smoothly, but we survived. For 33 months.

There's an ending to every beginning.

I'm going to take this ending as a beginning.

Whatever happens, happens.

I've started believing a lot in fate recently. I believe everything happens for a reason.

I'll leave it all in the hands of fate.

Backdated

2006-07-23T17:49:00.000+08:00

Ah. I have a lot to update. 2 weeks worth of stuff to update.

Tomorrow's the start of the second semester. Also my final semester. I don't wanna think of it.

I got close to drunk last night. A friend and I drank up half a bottle of Vodka Vanilla. We were so close to puking, and we were lying on my lounge floor, not wanting to get up. Well, actually, we couldn't get up. Hur hur hur.

In the midst of drinking, I broke down. I never thought that I'd show the vulnerable side of me to my friend. But I did. It felt good to tell him the things that are buried so deep in me. If I were asked to repeat what I said last night, I doubt I can do so.

The intoxication of the alcohol, and my emotions just stirring up like a whirlpool, just made me break down, and spill everything that's bothering me.

Sigh... I don't want to talk about it right now.

Anyway, my little project is very close to being launched. And I'm feeling very excited!

I'm really tired. No appetite today, feeling a little hungover..

I'll update another time, when I'm up to it.

Take care.

And phunkykiss re-surfaces!

2006-07-15T19:49:00.000+08:00

Wowweeeee.... Long time no see!!!

Why?

1) I'm not in Sydney.
2) I'm with my little darling. And we're having a blast! Painting the town red, blue, green, and all the other colors!
3) I'm working on a project, which you will know of soon! Can't wait to launch it!
4) Been busy painting the town of all colors known, thus the lack of updates.

Oh yes. I caught Pirates of the Caribbean! Spoiler for you: There will be a part 3! How annoying! Grrrrrr!! BUT!! Mister Johnny Depp still looks sooo yummy! Ahhhh.....

I'm having a ball here, and I don't wanna go back to Sydney! Being here just makes me miss this place all over again, and of course, miss my little darling as well. =(

In the mean time, you sweeties take care of yourselves!

xoxoxo

H.O.M.E.S.I.C.K

2006-07-10T00:18:00.000+08:00

Feeling homesick..

Once again.

Missing mom, dad and sis.

A lot.

=(

Lala!

2006-07-07T02:19:00.000+08:00

Maria Sharapova. Love her! A very determined young lady. Unfortunately, she lost to Amelie Mauresmo. I was hoping she could win this year. =(

Anyway, Federer is in!! Weeee! Federer to WIN!!! =P

Had sushi for dinner! And best still, it's a treat from a friend! Yay! I had Tempura ice cream for dessert. It was great! I don't mind having that again! Talking about it just makes me wanna eat it again. Hehehe. Tempura ice cream is basically fried ice cream! Yum!

And I had to help my friend iron his shirt for his interview tomorrow. And goodness me, my mama would be so proud of the way I ironed the shirt! Hahaha! I hate ironing, but I was proud of my ironing tonight! Oh yea, I also helped to sew one of the loose buttons lor....

I think I'll be a seamstress if I can't find a job with my degree. Ho ho.

Going to the city tomorrow again, just for fun.

Next week's gonna be really fun for me! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!! =D=D

Twilight Zoneeeeeeeee

2006-07-03T20:09:00.000+08:00

Ohhh... Last night was scary, yet cool!

See, I was shitting yea, and the toilet light started to flicker. So I thought the light bulb was gonna blow, so I quickly finish with my shitting, and walked out the toilet. Walked into my room, and the light was flickering as well! I thought my heater was over-heating the power cables, so I off my heater. 2 seconds later, there was a blackout!

I was SOOOO scared it was my fault! I walked to my main door, open the door, and TA DA! The whole area was dark.

OOOOO WEEEE!!!! Welcome to the twilight zone!!!

I called my gal, talked to her for awhile, and then called my friend to accompany me. It was freezing, and I had lighted 6 candles to keep myself warm, and also to give myself light.

Gah. Now I know I can't live without light!

We were just joking that they embazzled our money and didn't pay the bills. Hehe.

The blackout lasted half an hour! After the lights came back, I accompanied my friend go get dinner.

We walked out of our area, and we realised that it was the WHOLE of Newtown was affected by the blackout! It was really cool. It was dark, and if you look into the streets of the housing area, you can't see further than 50 metres!

One side of the road where the shops were weren't affected, but the other side where they're affected by the blackout, had to close shop. My poor friend had no food! We ended up going to 7-11, and he bought chips and choco bar. I offered him my leftover Japanese curry, but he didn't want it.

After we walked around Newtown in semi-darkness, we came back to my place and chilled out. Then there was a blackout again! But the blackout was for like 5 seconds.

It's soooooo scary. I hate the darkness.

Lala! Thank God I have candles. =D

*****

I saw this picture somewhere, and POOR DOG!!!!!

In case you didn't know, the colors are the Socceroos' color. The Australian team?? Yea. Them. Hehe.

So poor thing leh this dog. He didn't ask for it. Cute, but ugly. -__-"

1-0

2006-07-02T04:55:00.000+08:00

Brazil's out.

England and Brazil kicked out in one day. Unbelievable. Really...

Was hoping Brazil win the World Cup. Seems not now.

BRAZIL WAS HOT FAVOURITE TO WIN AT THE BETTING CENTRES! I guess people who bought their betting ticket for Brazil to win, can go and eat it now.

SOB SOB!!!!!!!

Bye bye England.. =(

2006-07-02T04:35:00.000+08:00

England lost to Portugal in the penalty shootout.

What a waste. I was backing England. =(

Penalty shootouts are so nerve-wrecking. All eyes are on that one player..

Right now, there's about 15 minutes left to the Brazil v France match.

2 good teams. I would hope Brazil wins this, but the score right now is 1-0. France is leading.

It'll be really sad if Brazil doesn't get in!! Oh please... Let Brazil win this!!!!

I'm so tired. 2 hours of sleep before my HRM exam, and I thought I could get like, 20 hours of sleep today, but nooooooo.... I had 9 hours of sleep. I'm feeling so restless. I wanna go and sleep, but there's just 15 minutes more left to the match. HOW!!!!!

Rambling rambling....

I'm booooooooooored.

1st July 2006

2006-06-30T22:24:00.000+08:00

24 minutes into a new month! and 36 minutes before kick-off! It's been so weird without football matches these few days.

I've been surviving quite well with just 2 hours of sleep. And I've been out and about for the whole day.

I was walking home from the exam today, and I saw heavy rain pouring down ahead of me, and within seconds, the heavy rain was pouring down on me! I actually saw the heavy rainfall move! (You know what I mean. I'm too tired to put my words right.)

I came home, and went to get lunch with a friend. After lunch, we went to Mitre 10 coz he needed hardware. We couldn't find what he need, and we were complaining about how if we were in Singapore, we can easily find what we want in a hardware store.

After Mitre 10, we walked to Broadway. Mucked around at Broadway...

I tell you! This friend of mine... He wanted to buy a PS2 today! I mean, the PS 2 is like $189 now, and I reckon it's cheap, but that's because PS3 is coming out soon. But still! He wanted to just buy a PS2 like buying chicken from Coles!

I told him to calm down, and go home and think about it, in case it's an impluse buy, and he'll regret it.

We actually hung around at Broadway for 4 hours, and both of us admitted we're getting old. Our knees and legs were aching!!!

Oh yea. This guy huh, he cannot forget that I won him at those gun games at the arcade, and demanded a rematch. So yea, we had MANY rematches ok! I won him in 2 out of 3 gun games, and I even won him at DDR - yes! Dance dance revolution!!!! I won him in the last round, by like a few points.

He's not happy that I'm better at games than he is. He is already asking for rematch lor....

After all that mucking around, we decided not to walk home, and so, we took the bus. Hahaha! We came home, rest a little, and headed out to get dinner, at half past 9. Hehehe.

And now, I'm typing this half-heartedly. I wanna watch the World Cup, but I'm so sleepy. 2 matches tonight, til the wee hours of the morning.

I don't know if I can stay up man!!

Ok ok. I'm gonna put toothpicks in my eye to keep meself awake.

NANANANANANA BATMAN!!!!!!!

Dear Mr FunkyHairDo.

2006-06-30T11:13:00.000+08:00

Very soon, you'll be NoMoreHairDo. Which is good. It will take you only half the time to get ready. You can save money from not buying gel. You can feel the Singapore breeze on your head. Your head can be as chao ta as the rest of your body.

Mr FunkyHairDo. Thank you for your text message last night while I was studying. It lifted my spirits, and made it less stressful for me, knowing that a dear friend like you is thinking of me, as your days of freedom are numbered.

I am sure you'll do exceptionally fine in the army. Although I think the promise you made to yourself about not being influenced to swear in the army is quite impossible to fulfill.

While you are in Tekong sweating like a pig, shitting into the holes you dug in the ground, and getting bitten by mosquitoes, I will be here, ~~enjoying my holidays and~~ thinking of you. =)

We have been friends since we were 13. 8 years and still counting. I've seen you grown from a boy, into a man. *cough cough* Actually, you'll be a man in 7 days. =p I wonder how you'd looking in the Number 4. I reckon you'd look weird. Haha.

In 7 days, I'll be calling you "CHAO RECRUIT!" Ho ho ho!

I miss the time we met up at Tampines Mall, and I had my first taste of Xiao Long Bao. I'm craving for it now. Followed by me driving us to East Coast Park and we chilling out at Coffee Bean, drinking my coffee, and you drinking your hot chocolate, and us sharing the cheesecake. Of course, who can forget that tissue rose?

I wish we could meet up before you enter the army. Just because I want to see the 'before' and 'after' effect. Hehe.

Dear Mr FunkyHairDo, as friends, we've been through a lot. Those times we had petty quarrels over the internet, which was soon forgotten when we talk the next day. Like you said, we are pretty forgiving people to each other.

I will be missing your presence on MSN, your entertaining display pictures on MSN, you ka chao-ing me on MSN, and you.

I thank you, Mr FunkyHairDo, and all the other busybodies a.k.a kaypohs who are reading this letter when I clearly stated Dear Mr FunkyHairDo as the title says, for reading this.

Yours Sincerly,

Tamagotchi. =)

*And to the kaypohs. You are really damn kaypoh, to the extend that you finished reading this whole entry. =p*

Nananananananana BATMAN!!!

Yes Miss K. That song is still ringing in my head!

Another 90 minutes to my exam (reminds me of soccer.. 90 minutes. Which reminds me, THERE'S SOCCER TODAY!! YAY!!! It feels weird the past few days, because there wasn't any match to watch!

Anyways yes. 90 minutes to my exam, 3 and a half hours til I smell freedom. Actually, I'm smelling it already.

I feel like I know jack-shit about this subject, even though I've studied for it.

I'm just gonna do it and get over and done with it.

Just do it man Lisa!

Oh yea. TO THE BATMOBILE!!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

ITALY CRUSHED AUSTRALIA!!!

2006-06-27T00:56:00.000+08:00

TOTTI!!! YOU MY MAN!!!!

TAKE THAT AUSTRALIA!

Dreams crushed... Aww..

Wait for another 32 years!!!

Even with 10 men on the field, Italy bagged it!!!! YAY!

What a cruel game! It was almost full-time!! AND THAT PENALTY KICK!!! ONE AND ONLY GOAL AFTER A 90 MINUTES BORING GAME!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!

So what now huh? No more free telecast of World Cup for us now that Australia is out?!?

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I wanna be Paris Hilton!! Urm.. As rich as her, that is.

2006-06-26T23:47:00.000+08:00

There are some days where I just have to tease myself. Remind myself of how poor I am, and how I should really go and get a job (even if I get a job now, I wouldn't be able to afford those teasers I tease myself with), and wished I was Paris Hilton. Or rather, as rich as Paris Hilton.

I'm not much of a person who goes for brands. Well, my watches and shoes (majority of my shoes anyway) has to be branded.

My Baby-G lasted me a good 7 years. And when I turned 18 NOT TOOO LONG AGO!!! I asked mom for a new watch. I was eyeing a Rip Curl watch a few months before mom came over to help me pack up in Melbourne. So mom said I deserved a new watch, because I was wearing my Baby G for 7 years, and yes, my Rip Curl watch has been with me since I was 18. 3 years already...

My shoes. I'm always going or Converse. I love my Converse. And my sports shoes are from Adidas. Ho ho. My heels aren't branded. I see something I like, I'll get it. Well... I have some Charles & Keith, but C&K aren't much of a brand. Any ah lian/minah afford them. Even ah sohs I reckon.

So yes. Shoes and watches have to be branded, for me. I don't give much of a hoot about bags, but some of my bags are branded as well.

I'm turning 21! And you know what they say when you turn 21? It's the key to your life, the start of your adulthood. Since I was 20, I felt displaced. I'm not a teenager, but I'm not an adult also. I can't wait to be 18 again, so I'm still a teenager, OR, I can't wait to turn 21, so that I'm an adult. Anything but 20. Too bad I can't turn 18 anymore.

So anyways. Turning 21 is a big thing right? And I've heard all my friends get really big/expensive/good stuff on their 21st. Friend of mine got a gold chain with a key pendant. Wowweeeeeeee.....

Anyway, at the beginning of this post, I said I love to tease myself. Well. I'm gonna show you some stuff I saw, and obviously, I fell in love with.

It's another 4 months til my 21st, so you guys have 4 full months to go and save up the money, and get me any one of the below.

I thank you in advance. =D

This is the kind of bag I would love to carry to work, when I'm a manager at some top company. Because being a manager in a top company is the only way the pay's gonna allow me to afford this Burberry bag. Haha!

Love this Burberry watch! Ohhh....

Need I say more!

This bracelet is so funky! But I reckon it's for the younger crowd. The rich, younger crowd. =D

This LV bag charm is sooooo cute!!!

This is cute too!!

Love this watch. Simple, yet elegant!

I LOVE THIS WATCH!!!!!! I WANT!!!

And lastly...

I love this bag. I saw the fake one for 40 bucks at the Chinatown Night Market. As much as I love it, I wouldn't buy the fake one. I know I won't feel satisfied buying the fake one, and I probably won't carry it out too.

WHY CAN'T IT RAIN MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yea. If you people have the chance, and if Singapore sells this, YOU HAVE TO TRY IT!

It's not just Pringles... It's...

For bacon fans!

I LOVE IT!

Really, once you pop, you can't stop!

I could eat Pringles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Rather.. Just dinner, because that's the only mean I eat in a day. I WOULD EAT THIS ALL DAY, if not for the monosodium glutamate.

I have been studying today! Just like yesterday, and the day before... And I know I've said this many times, but I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY HOLIDAYS!!!

Just for fun. =)

The Japanese exam today, or rather, yesterday, was hard!!!

Thing is, we have 2 hours to do 3 passages. But the first person left just 45 minutes after the paper started!

Then people started leaving. One by one...

I could have finished mine within an hour, but since I've got 2 hours, I took my time.

Finally, when I was the only one left in my row, I decided to leave. That was half an hour before the paper was supposed to end.

Why huh? The paper was quite difficult, but why can we finish so fast?

I guess it's because there's nothing else we could do. I mean, I've answered the question as best as I could, I checked my answers again and again... There's really nothing else I could have done already lah... So I left.

AHHH!!! I can't wait for my last paper to finish next week!!

WEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Shamsul Maidin, the Singaporean referee has a place in Wikipedia!

He won 4 Referee of the Year Award, and is only the second Singaporean referee to be involved in the World Cup! And he's the only Singaporean to referee more than 1 match in the World Cup Finals

Now, Singapore is really visible on the map now.

WEE!!!!!

Korean friend of mine called me to tell me that he won't be taking the Japanese exam with us tomorrow because he has a clash.

SO! He'll be taking the paper at 9am! Which is 5 hours before us! But of course, after the exam, he'll be in lockdown until his next paper.

But he, being the cheeky fellow that he is, says that: "I can still go to the toilet, and bring my phone, and SMS! You'll be the first person I'll SMS, and I'll let you know what's in the exams!"

HAHAHAHA!!

It's great to have friends like him aye!! If only I could give him a BIG squeeze right now, I would!

But we'll have to see if he actually manages to text me the exam questions.
