double happiness

my mummy&daddy are back!! (:
yay! (:

yesterday was the absolute day of lazing around at home.
i woke up at like 8am just to laze around and watch all the cooking shows on tv with all the interior design shows.
breakfast was a feast.
with a da bao, you tiao, butterflies, chocolates plus the homemade cookies (:
lunch was a blast as well.
there was white rice with all the yummy dishes that my grandma cooked herself!
colin came over to see my new haircut. haha.
NO DIFFERENCE! that's what everyone says at first glance.
the length and layering changed. (i still love my stylist)
so we lazed around literally, doing nothing but watching tv.
from some lawyer show, to one about invasions, to a highschool detective girl to the ellen show.

haha. alas! wee finally showed up after his day of visitation to his newborn nephew!
we went to eat the dim sum but sadly, we were a little too late.
so we had the ala carte.
haha. greedy people we are! other people orded a noodle and a side to SHARE.
we ordered a noodle, 6 xiaolongbaos, 2fried pork baos, a bowl of brown rice and a pot of tea to share! haha.
it was a feast!
headed to holland v settlers for a game of life!
haha. I WON!! (:
i ended up having like 2.86million worth of stuff (:
he was having a sore throat so i had to eat up the finger food.
but i topped it up with a hot honey lemon drink to soothe my throat.
i won the LORD OF THE RINGS MONOPLY as well (:
haha. it was fun.
ooh yes. ade dropped by to say hello yesterday too!! (:
she was the ultimate m)phosis girl. haha.
with m)phosis top, shorts, slippers and bag!
but it was pretty pretty pretty.
headed home straight after cos his biological clock was so tuned to the army so he was tired by like 11.

welcome home love!

baby's finally homeeee!! (:
yayness!!

on wednesday, i was practically rushing around.
headed back to mg with ade for breakfast and to pay our lovely teachers a visit!! (:
we met like everyone except for mr ling cos he's on some course.
we stayed there for like 3 hours but the waiting time for each teacher felt like eternity.
haha. i got to learn some japanese while we were waiting.
cos my dearest ade is studying jap now, so i took her file to learn some words.
haha. it was damn funny lahh..
so i went back to the citibank people for visiting and to help them finish this thing which i didn't complete the day before. hah.
met ade after that at orchard mrt to go to popular to buy me stuff which i'm gonna use to decorate wee's room.
it's not much. just a simple WELCOME HOME BOTAK BOY on the wall.
haha. after that we headed to holland v to get wee 2 aluminium helium balloons.
i love the balloons. they're adorable.
cabbed down to his house to prepare. then i realised that i don't have enough ink in my marker.
haha. so i just left it with WELCOME HOME!! (:
put the balloons there as well.
rushed out to meet shihwen for her haircut.
haha. went to look for iris to cut her hair. and i loooove her hair.
she's brave. she said just cut off like 3inches and layer. haha. pretty pretty.
headed to my home and lazed around again.
she was playing with bessie and i was watching my tv!
haha. damn lazy. but it was great fun!!

yesterday was one hectic day for me.
i woke up at wee hours of the morning just so i can bake cookies as a welcome home present for weeby!
after which i rushed for a shower and met letitia at bukit panjang for lunch.
we had loads to eat!
we saw joyce working at venezia so we headed there for ice-cream.
haha. i had the cookies and cream together with italian coffee!! (:
it was yummy. but she gave me an extra big scoop for each flavour that was equivalent to like 4scoops of icecream or so.
haha. letitia had the rum and raisin with the italian coffee.
walked around the area to burn off lunch (like it'll work) to find letitia two damn sweet dress for like 18bucks for 2? damn big steal!! (:
haha. took a bus down to the toni&guy academy to get my haircut for a hairshow next saturday.
was so prepared to cut my hair like yoanna house/jade cole/aj short but the stylist was damn nice and she decided to cut just like 2-3inches of my hair!!
make it super layered so she can style it on the day itself.
met sally there! she was doing colours on her hair. haha.
headed down to chinatown for a little and cabbed down to wee's house.
it's not my fault that i forgot the peak hour charge so i decided to pay by nets.
but the stupid uncle's machine didn't work so i tried the visa card.
but it still didn't work.
and he was trying to drive me to the police station to settle for like 5bucks.
i was damn irritated lahh..
nevermind that, went with wee's mummy&daddy to pick him up!! (:
had a super nice dinner with him at his home.
the cookies were like desert and we had fruits.
so happy!! (: just sat around, watched tv and slacked like we used to!

don't worry ade&gina! your boys will be out today!
shihwen, tomorrow morning!
-but you all shouldn't be upset cos they went in on like thursday and friday! wee went in on monday!

2days

happy one and a half years!

today, weeby and i are supposed to be celebrating our one and a half years together.
but sadly, the army took him away from me just one week too early.
i love my boy.
he called back this morning just to wish me happy one and a half years.
there's nothing he can do now cos he's in there.
& i definitely don't blame him.
even if he forgot, i won't, cos in there, time passes so slowly that i'm sure it's tough to keep track of time.
but i, on the hand, am counting down to the 26th of April.
i intend to quit my job on the 25th of april instead of the 30th.
he's booking out for 6 days, so i'll just spend that time with him.
ade and i will be heading to find a new job after that (:

baby, although your in tekong now.
i'll be out here waiting for you, never letting go of you.
not now, not ever.
cos i know when you come back, we'll create happy memories again (:
though we can't spend today together, it's still a special day for me!
happy one and a half years.
and still going strong.

notes of love

yesterday! met my dearest secondary school girls at vivo (:
there was ade, jess, marissa, meredith and me! (:
we had superdog for lunch. the chilli fries with the sauce was good. haha.
went grocery shopping for snacks at the vivomart where jessica made us buy 2 bottles of mineral water each! (:
we walked through the excrutiating heat and we finally found the sentosa express.
being the playful selves that we were, we headed straight to the skyride and the luge! haha.
we didn't know ade was afraid of heights so she was screaming and shaking!!
haha. but it was fun yes?
i'm sorry ade, mere and mar for leaving you all behind at the luge!
haha. it's more fun going down at full speed! haha.
went along to rent bicycles. cycled to siloso beach with our darn big heavy bags.
after which, we cycled to the other side to tanjong beach where we left our bags with marc. haha. thankyou.
so the 5 of us just headed down cycling around at full speed, turning left, turning right. going practically anywhere the bicycle takes us (which is not very far) haha.
oh and ade and i face a moment of inferiority complex.
we saw 4 totally curvy, yet small and TONED tummy girls walking around.
haha. they were totally the sff model standard. they're even tall&gorgeous too! they looked brazilian or something!
poor jess fell down and the stupid bicycle shop guy didn't fix his bike properly. idiot! now my poor friend was hurt.
she hurt so bad that she wanted to go home.
so we headed back down to tanjong beach (by tram this time) to collect the stuff.
i was attending the choir concert that night, so leaving at around 3+ wouldn't be ideal cos i had no where to go.
so ade being the sweetheart that she is, decided to stay on with me (:
we went tanning for a while, but the sun was killing us.
didn't really get much darker but at least i don't look so pale anymore.
we played a little bit of frisbee with marc and his army friends.
haha. both of us ended up running around so much picking up the frisbee.
what to do? the wind was so strong.
headed to the shower room at about 5ish for me to get changed after a shower.
bought subway sandwiches with a little lettuce, tomatoes and onions as my dinner.
ade had some ice blended raspberry thing from starbucks (:
she headed home for dinner while i went for the concert alone.

the concert was actually :( depressing.
i'm supposed to be biased cos i was once part of that organization.
that choir on stage. but i couldn't.
i would write down all my opinions here but i shan't.
they sang certain songs that we sang in sydney at the opera house as well.
nostalgia set in.
i miss pjc choir. i miss those times where we were only 18 strong.
yet the voices came out strong with a sense of unity.
where everyone's business was everyone else's. cos we loved each other so much.
watching the 80 strong choir, everything seemed different.
at a glance, anyone could tell they lack a sense of unity and it just wasn't the same.
i heard the acapella version of "if" and i suddenly missed cuijing so much.
not only was her singing like fantabulous with perfect pitch, a strong voice, non airy that would hit you straight. she was a great president. a great friend.
i miss cuijing, meatball, shaowei, xian ming, felicia.. gosh. i wanna go back.
but the end of the concert, i met up with yinghui, xian ming, shuang an, faisal (: and all the other people together with the teachers and all (:
it was a long ride home.
baby called but couldn't talk long. i miss him.

i met up with loads of people yesterday.
some just as stepping stones in my life, others that impacted my life to mould me to who i am today. good or bad.

to my dearest mg loves. i really miss you all. it was good meeting up with you even though sherilyn couldn't join us. i miss those times that we would just sit around classes being the playful selves that we are. the times where we annoyed the teachers with our attitude though not intentionally. i remember the time mrs sim told us that we weren't the brightest bulbs she's met yet we worked hard together. to strive to be the best we can be. i miss those days of just sitting around the canteen during recess and rushing off the jump on that big gym mat outside our classrooms. just lying down there talking till the bell rings. those toilet parties that we had between lessons. & we cannot forget mrs chong. our loveliest geog teacher. and mr ling! the math teacher that we pissed off so badly yet he never gave up. from day one he walked in in sec 3, he used to say "pardon" till the day he left, he said "oieh hello!" hah. we should meet up soon. as 4b4. as the few of us. we should. maybe one day, we'll go back to where all the memories of 10 years lie, visit the things and people that made us who we are today. the school that taught us to master, to grow, to serve. I (still) MISS YOU JESSICA, SHERILYN, MEREDITH, JEANETTE, ADE, BRYNA, NICKY, LETITIA, MONG, PEK YI and MUMTAZAH. i STILL love you all.

to my pjc loves. it's only been a few months since we left each other after the A levels. for some of you, it would be an additional year to those few months. to my seniors, i actually miss those days that you'd pick on me and make fun of the way i walk and stuff. those days that you've watched me cry cos i couldn't take the stress. those days that we laughed during and after choir. those days that we played ball and ran together as choir training. all the talks, all the concern you showered over us, all the love. without you, my life wouldn't have been as fulfilling as it has been. i miss everyone of you who went to sydney together. from the cathedral to the adjudicated performance to the sydney opera house. i look at the photos and i really think to myself, would th experience be this good without all of you there with me? i doubt so. to those non-choir seniors, you've watch me grow, some of you even made me grow up. though it was difficult and it hurts on the way, i'm glad you persevered. cos without all of us, i'd probably still be the same girl that entered jc in 2005. I MISS YOU PJC CHOIR. to my peers, 05A07!! i miss all of you. through all the tutorials and lectures and definitely remedials, we stuck together. standing strong. we even went through 4 gp teachers in a year. but we pulled through. yes we made fun of people along the way. we just went through so much. to those i was closer to, i miss those sentosa days where we would play volleyball and tan and even kayak! haha. those were the days where we went there white as ever, leaving lobster red or really dark. the times we just chilled at eugene's house or my place. the pizza parties. the stupid games we played. and definitely all the festive gatherings. most of you are botak in the army now, defending out nation. the few out here will be waiting for you to come back to lunch. haha. I MISS YOU ADE, LATIFAH, MAG, TIM, CLEMENT, HELMI, EUGENE, KENNY, WINSOME, DONKEY, VAL, NADIAH.. to my lovely choir mates, the few 18 of us had the power to withstand anything in our way. though being laughed at and called a small choir, we stood strong. we trained our voices, we bonded. we made it this far. I MISS CUIJING, MEATBALL, STICKO, AMELIA, JANE, SHAOWEI, EDI, XIANMING, ALTOS.

this is a very long post.
haha. but i miss you all. i promise when i got the time away from corporate wear, we'll meet again. hopefully soon.
PROMISE!
i'll see you all soon. (:
i don't wanna grow up/old.

yesterday was the first day of work!
it was the same, just helping out with the stuff.
and i realised that after doing the same things for the past 3 months, even though i took a 1 month break, i still remember how to do everything! (:
haha. so it wasn't a problem for me getting started again.
after work, rushed down to lot1 to meet eugene for his farewell dinner!
he went into the army today!
goodness me. time sure flies!
by tomorrow, everybody will be in!! :(
it's fine. all the girls with the boys in ns can all meet up (:
yes ade? yes shihwen? haha.

the second day of work gave me the o_O look.
haha. there was like a week's worth of mail untouched!
were they waiting for me to come back and do it for them?
haha. what i would usually spend like 10mins a day doing, i spent 1.5hours doing it today!
but i'm not complaining, the mail's like my favourite part of the day.
haha. i love doing the mail. it's fun.
had lunch with all the people there and i realised that even while lunching, they talk about work :( no wonder why the stress level in the coporate world is so high.
HAHA. work again tomorrow!
then i'll earn enough to feed my retail therapies and to pamper wee when he gets out! (:
but i'm happy to work anyways. the people there are fantabulous!

great hair day!

baby's gone, so i gotta be an independent girl now. haha.

been just catching up with people of late.

woke up late. haha. was late for brunch with marc. so sorry.
i ate half the 12 inch pizza today. damn piggish.
but it was fun lah. don't really care about the food, just eat it up and enjoy the cheesy flavour of the boston special from rocky's pizza. yummy!
*rubs my tummy*
but it was a good brunch catching up with an old friend over pizza! (:
was running a little late so we cabbed down to clementi to take a train.
he was going to meet his friend at beach road while i headed down to tanjong pagar to meet my favourite cousin, colin low - yes sir!!
running around the area looking for the studio that's situated in some ulu place.
but goodness me, the interior was fantasic. even the toilets had such good ambience.
the make up artist did up my hair and make up.


i love the hair. check it out.

haha. sadly, prom's over. if not, this will definitely be my hair then. haha. love!*
i wanted this for prom but my stylist made a mistake then. haha. but oh wells, i got it eventually!
but then again, the make up was too thick for me cos i hate make up and i'm a total idiot when it comes to make up.
but yes. i gotta do what i gotta do!! (:
the photos turned out alright lah.
my favourite one was the one ade described as "looks like someone's tickling your toes from the bottom"
haha. the rest made me look fierce. but hey! i've got different looks with the same face ya? haha.
it's a good thing. i hope it doesn't mean i've got the splitting personality. haha.

the date with amy has been cancelled cos she has some family functions to attend.
i'll see you soon, probably this weekend girl!

yup. i miss my babyboy! but i'll keep myself busy.
before he left he told me to make new friends along my daily life, call out old friends, enjoy myself and think of him once in a while.
and yes. i do all! but i think it'll be more than once in a while!
i'll be an independent girl.
back to work tomorrow.
siewmui, layhar, karen, jane, jasmine, sherry, weiyang, pohkim, diana, geraldine and cynthia!
I'M BACK TO HELP!! (:

:(

my botakboy's enlisted :(

it'll be a long long day tomorrow.
for the next 3 weeks.

i'll be counting down to the 26th of april.

i'll be missing you*

!!! (:

after the massage on friday, weeby headed for a very nice and filling budget dinner! (:
he got me on a cab and didn't let me know where i was going.
haha. we ended up at the NIGHT SAFARI! (:
yes. i haven't been there before. deprived childhood i know.
we intended to take loads of pictures since it's his like "going to army" present to me.
but it was too dark to do so :( but it was definitely worth the experience! (:
despite my cramped up leg and what not. i had loads of fun.
we were munching on the kuehs that we bought together with the ben and jerry's double scoop! (:
haha. we had cookie dough (: and strawberry cheesecake! yummylicious!
i'm gonna miss my boy.

haha. today was the most stressful day of my life!
the level of stress is way beyond the a levels! haha.
but it was fun. not so much worth the screaming at.
i loved the cupcakes though. together with the fiji water. i feel so cleansed! haha.

damn

i've seen the ugly side of the entertainment industry.
it's an industry that doesn't care whether the journey was a fulfilling one, the only thing that matters is the final result.
the journey is indeed a bumpy, really bumpy one.
the insults thrown at you. the coldness. the perfectionist.
perfection can be good, but not if they push people off the cliff.
the stress piles up with hurting words that bring you down. so low down you feel worthless. hopeless. useless.
honestly, the professionals aren't meeting the standards of those place in front of you.
but they get away with it.
just becuase you've tried your best but with little results, this is equivalent to pride.
being too proud that you're not willing to learn.
that's not the truth. but hey, they'll never understand.
i can only do the best i can do.
my life still goes on..
i got the love&support from my family, friends, boyfriend. that's enough contentment in my life.
it's great to hear people you love and care for tell you that's just the way it is. don't give up. don't let perfection determine your life. love yourself. we love you.

enough for the crappy feelings. meeting my weeby for massage later! (:
my legs ache so badly that my calves are swollen from the 4inches.
last night, my calves were the size of my thighs. gross yes? haha.
but i'm gonna relax today. i can't move much but reflexology? yes please.
3 days to his enlistment :(
