fieldtrip in uni! (:

geographical fieldtrip with my bestest girlfriend! (:

yesterday, we had our geography fieldtrip! (:
we headed down to the singapore river!
to look at modernised architecture and how much cultural influence in has from the past.
we looked at the sculptures and the shophouses and find "singaporeaness" in all of them.
sounds boring to most of you.
but it was worth the trip i guess. haha.
i got a geographical looking file and a pen from prof chang! (: yayness.
anyway, we headed to pitstop.
it's like settlers - set up by an nus geog honours grad, business grad, computer engineering and somewhere else.
ade&eunice&marcus&hanjing&i went over to play ugly doll after the fieldtrip and to lunch.
i had the black pepper chicken chop! (: i loved it.
played munchkins after that.
hanjing is a killer! i was slowly but surely climbing up the ladder to level8 and then he killed me and i fell all the way to level one! thankgoodness i ended the game at level 4. i still wasn't the lowest! (:
girlfriend&i went window shopping at marina square.
neither of us found anything nice apart from the bangles at topshop.
was there something wrong with us or the season?
cos everything looks the same everywhere now :(
but it's good, cos i'm broke. so there's nothing to tempt me! (:

i've got tonnes of work due. this sucks.
economics mid terms - 5 oct
geography project due - 15 oct
singapore studies assignment due - 19 oct
sociology mid terms - to be confirmed.
southeast asia fieldtrip report - 7 nov
southeast asia group/individual projects - 14 nov

THANK GOD FOR SOUTHEAST ASIA! (: it's the only thing due in november.
i can't wait for the semester to be over.

babee's been gone for two days.

latern carrying festival (:

HAHA. that was a major change of plans from my last entry.
tuesday was my webcasted lectures day. i managed to clear 2 out of 3 of them. thankgoodness.
HAPPY MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL! (:
after studying for a day, melissa&melanie (marc's sisters) decided to go downstairs to play with laterns. we managed to convince his dad&mum to go down together with us! (: YAY!
i havent' played with lanterns for goodness knows how long.
and i wonder why i stopped.
after strolling around the mountain next to his place for a pretty long time, we headed to the playground to play with candles, making sculptures and "architecture" out of wax. WE ARE GENIUSES.
babee sent me home after that (:

wednesday. met rebecca for geog surveys.
went to popeyes for the fantabulous mash potatoes and the buttermilk biscuits with strawberry jam!
dahling called while i was having lunch to throw some damn bad news on me.
the horrid news: they are flying off from the military airbase so i can't send him off at the airport :(
the sub-good news: he got to book out today and in the afternoon tomorrow. back to camp for him tonight.
ANYWAY, people these days are leading such a fast pace lifestyle that it's very difficult to get hold of them.
a few interesting people i met.
- a swedish businessman who was willing to spend all his time talking to us about singapore.
- a (damn cool looking) japanese university professor who thinks that NUS students are smart and he's the only one who asked for my matric card as proof i'm not from a hotel.
- a malaysian who speaks only chinese (so i had to converse using my pathetic chinese) and who had the impression that singaporeans are "proud and rude"
hate to admit, but sometimes i couldn't agree more.
it was a damn slow moving day. we spent 5hours in the airport.
babee came down to look for me at about 4 and helped us to survey some people (: THANKS DEAR!
after the completion of our surveys the 3 of us headed to polar for teatime. haha.
marc had the black pepper crab meat pie.
rebecca had the white cheesy crab meat pie.
i had the strawberry roll.
becca left and we took the skytrain to terminal one.

i had my crystal jade my bread's ko lo bun on the way there.
marc had popeyes for his late lunch! poor boy didnt' have lunch. (it's already 5pm then)
sorry dear for pinching your food.
marc bought buttermilk biscuits for my dearest mg girls (:
he took a train with me from changi airport all the way down to sembawang to meet my friends just to go back to tampines to sleep at camp! (: DAMN SWEET LAH.
headed to sembawang park for our picnic! (:
sherilyn&ade got me and jess some ice-cream cake from island cremary as our birthday cakes.
i love them to bits.
had a feast made up of sushi, the popeye biscuits, sausages wrapped in bacon, chips, saltless french fries (thanks to sherry not liking salt) and the ice-cream cake.
played loads of stupid games from the X and O game which i have no idea what it's called.
all the primary school games that we used to play in mg.
we played with lanterns as well (:
the pretty lantern! (: while my retarded girlfriend was pretending to be a thousand year old spirit. such an idiot. haha.
took a long ride home with my girlfriend after taking a million stupid photos with them (:
i want to drop economics, she wants to drop political shit! :((( we're dying.
spent the rest of my night doing something for someone special! (:
slept at 5am in the morning. goodness gracious me.

today i woke up at 10am :(
lazed around after my super big breakie (:
met babee at cityhall mrt before travelling down to woodlands.
the daytime pasar malam there has the BEST mua chi i've ever eaten, one of the best tapioca cakes he's ever eaten, i had my cotton candy and coconut jelly! (:
BIG BIG FEASTING!
spent quality time with love playing computer games online.
from some babysitter one all the way to text twist.
i've never spent my entire day playing computer before. but i loved it.
headed for dinner downstairs and took a stroll around the little mountain again (:
I SIMPLY LOVE HEART TO HEART TALKS!
his mummy sent me home before sending him back to camp.
goodbye kiss for my eucalyptus babee. BYEBYE DEAR :(

i'm still upset that the army didn't let me send him off tomorrow :(
plus, now i can't make breakfast for him :(
dahling, thankyou for putting in so much effort into us and spending so much time with me now because you know we'll be apart for 3 weeks. rest assured that i'll be here waiting for you when you return. i'll be standing there just waiting for you. i'll miss you. iloveyou.

geog again tomorrow!
i'm damn tired now.

a long recap

recap.

i was schooless on thursday cos it's an even week (:
woke up damn late and met qianning at the bukit batok macs for some sociological views on socialization.
i dont' make sense no?
stayed around with her for about 4 hours.
she was doing her math while i was doing my soci yet at the same time, thinking of the pain she must be going through.
i mean MATHEMATICS! the subject i swore never to touch again.
haha. we left at around 8ish cos she needed to head home for dinner.
i loitered around westmall very happily buying all sorts of food while waiting for babee to come down from tampines.
all the glorious fooooood. i was a happy girl.
bought him some food as well. a lot of food actually!
yup. that's about it, hung around and talked all sorts of rubbish (:

i woke up late for school on friday so i just didnt' go to school.
sorry ade. i know you missed me! :D
stayed at home the entire day doing absolutely nothing related to schoolwork :(
headed to bukit timah food centre with marc to feed the hungry tummies!
we order each a serving of pasta which was absolutely lovely. not to mention that it only cost like $3.90 a serving.
he had the mushroom in cream sauce, i had mine in tomato sauce (:
ordered fried carrot cake. it was damn a lot. but a little overrated i must say.
headed for dessert and had tangyuan (: i love the tangyuans there.
brought him to the 24 hour clinic nearby to get an mc for army and headed to the confectionary nearby for a little muffin each.
YES I'VE BEEN EATING A LOT SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME! (:
headed to beauty world to enjoy the aircon and sit around the central area and decided to take loads of photos. haha. for no particular reason (:

i swear my memory is failing me. saturday seems so vague.
OHYES. study at changi airport for me.
i wanted to listen to my lectures then but the stupid changi airport wanted to charge me 6bucks to use the wireless for half an hour. that isnt' even like one lecture. boo.
so i did my soci while babee scrolled through all my photos in my lappie.
starting from sec4 till today. GOODNESS ME!
to adeline yeong: GIRLFRIEND! WE LOOKED DAMN KIDDY LAST TIME. WE'RE GROWING OLD :( IT'S DAMN FUNNY! :D


took the skytrain to terminal one for popeye's chicken!
haha. i love the bread there. and the mash pototoes. and the chicken! (: everything.
rushed down to the settler's at siglap.
sorry dengzhi :( yes. we were late.
both of us weren't the only ones late. yongjun&zhi
played QUEST - damn funny game. i love that game.
after that we played HALI GALI - dengzhi was the champion. i still think that the rule that only if the bell rings should it then we counted.
last game was this game that involved casting magic on each other but it got boring after a while. haha. damn fun!
thankyou eucalyptus babee for bringing me along (:

sunday was church day!
i think i'm dying.
i have sudden failed eyesight and sleepiness :(
it's terrible. it's sucking the life out of me.
anyway, headed to church and had lunch with my girlfriend's family.
well, it was her 4th uncle's birthday so we headed to raffles town club for lunch (:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE!
we were split into 2 tables.
the adults table with ade's mum&dad and her 4th uncle&aunty.
then there was us - shirlene, lembu, timothy, ade, christine and i.
BUFFET! ate damn a lot of cakes and pastries. yummy!
brought christine and shir to cut their hair at bukit batok where we waited like one and a half hours for the hairstylist to be free.
but it was a great chat we had about life and relationships and whatnot!
met marc after that and followed him to the library for a while.
took a bus and went my own exploration. haha.
ended up at westmall where i finally satisfied my craving for an pan man.
had an impulsive idea to pierce a second ear hole on my right ear and bought 2 cds.
I LOVE MY CDS! (:
oh! i met shihwen there. thanks girl for keeping me company while i looked through the whole stack of cds.
took a train to woodlands to meet his family for dinner.
sorry to his family for making them wait :(
went to sembawang for this damn good nasi lemak (: i love the sambal chilli, the egg and the chicken! (: i'm a foodie and proud to be one!
his family is damn funny. all of them.

i think i make a very lousy girlfriend :( sorry babee. thankyou for being so understanding&patient (:

today! i had homemade nasi lemak for lunch made by my grandmama.


i had my study session with love! (:
and something happened and my quote of the day is..
"my boyfriend abandoned me for pirates!" haha.



yes had had a geeky girlfriend today due to the sudden deteoriation of my eyesight.

he's damn sweet lahh. he didn't have to waste time on his off day accompanying me while i studied but he did.
i'm finally done with that awful chapter of socialization. it was killing my braincells.
yayness. had singing session with marc.
we sang all sorts of songs from my cd all the way to those old school songs which i absolutely adore. haha.

i'll be going through at least one of my lectures via webcast tonight after i'm done with geog discussion.

(: ----> :D

met marc before heading down to meet my class.
went to novena to get him a new bible, some christian storybooks and his faraway tree! haha.
went to heeren and reached there like super early cos everyone else was late :(
so we decided to amuse ourselves by taking neoprints!
(goodness me, don't really remember the last time i took them)
they turned out very cute! (:
got ade's phone call and i went to meet them.
mini class gathering at vil'age at heeren! (:
ade had banana caramel waffle, mushroom soup and potatoe wedges.
angmoh&eugene had the seafood and cheese crepe and a pizza to share.
clement& helmi each had their baked rice.
liyi had the potato rosti and sausage.
i had the black pepper chicken, mushroom and cheese crepe!
ade and i started taking random photos together cos the guys just kept going on about army life! haha.
it's been so long and they still havent' given up.

so after we ate till our tummies almost burst, we headed to starbucks to chit chat and chill.
ade&gene disappeared to goodness knows where.
angmoh&helmi&i decided to go to taka to draw money while clement and liyi went to get something from wisma. haha.
anyway, I HAVE THE SWEETEST FRIENDS ALIVE! (:
they bought 4 slices of cake for me and put them together with a candle on top as my birthday cake! (:
i love the cake even though i kinda got sick of chocolate after that cos to begin with, i was already damn full from eating the whole crepe.
and they tried to make me eat at least half of the 4 slices (from the back so it's bigger) before they would start eating :(
(from top to bottom: pure chocolate cake, chocolate truffle cake, oreo cheesecake and some cake with an oreo base, dark, milk and white chocolate mousse)

haha. in order for some guy to agree to help us take the group photo, we had to fill in some survey/game sheet which they were playing. so ohwells, we did it!

yesterday was my cousin's wedding reception lunch thing.
haha. apparently, he's been married even before chinese new year but he didn't want to have a big event but his mummy wanted him to.
thus, the lunch.
it was at carousel at the royal plaza hotel on scotts.
the international buffet was HEAVENLY! (:
colin and i went around eating more of less the same food.
first we started off with the fresh seafood, followed by the japanese, then the western, the fusion, the chinese and the pastries.
thank goodness i was wearing those big flowy dresses yesterday! haha.
headed straight for the desserts after that (:
the bread pudding was the best. i also had the nonya kuehs, the chocolate fondue, the peach crumble, a while array of cakes (mango, strawberry, chocolate) and those mousses in the shotglasses! (: YUMMY!


i was very amused at the glasses. and the utensil holder in which they place our utensils on!
it's damn adorable.
and because we were arranged to seat according to the generations, there was a table full of babies! it looked like some cartoon.
after eating ourselves full till for like 2 and a half hours, colin and i decided to leave and walk over to cine to say pop by suki sushi to say hello (:
after which, we headed to plaza sing to look for his friends and walk around.
haha. i saw 2 bags which i intend to buy to replace my dying ones (: yayness.
i found a pair of jeans which i'm going to invest in soon after my next allowance comes in! whoo!
marc came over to look for us after that (:
walked around abit before going to catch arctic tale.
a show i would definitely want to watch but obviously would find it difficult to find people to watch with me.
but i found my companion! (:

i love the show! (:
a very touching show i must say.
and queen latifah is a genius in the way she narrates the stories.
the only thing that kept popping into my mind through the whole movie was that how cruel the human race actually is.
for the convenience of OUR world, we sacrifice THEIRS.
i love national geographic. they come out with the best movies with a whole lot of meaning to it! (:
i especially like the finally part of the movie when they highlighted the word IF. (:
walked around daiso after the movie. haha. for grocery shopping.
headed to m)phosis and found 2 pair of slippers that i adore.
thankyou eucaplytus babee for the slippers! <3
headed to carrefour to get a bottle of milk and headed to kfc for dinner! (:
i havent' eaten there since goodness knows how long ago.
walked around the area before heading home!

i'm still sick. but i'm surviving very well now (:
study time. COMPLETING MY CULTURE AND SOCIALIZATION.

i don't wanna be lazy no more

i've decided to stop procrastinating and i finally picked up my study material on thursday night.
boo.
i didn't go to school yesterday cos i was really severely under the weather so i decided to rest at home by sleeping through the night without any alarm.
lo and behold, i felt a lot better in the morning.
waking up to this message from tim the angmoh.
"oh no fatbird! i heard you're sick? you feeling better?"
YES I AM! and he salvaged himself by showing some concern.
after my very nutritious breakfast, i headed down for my hairtrim.
decided to pamper my hair as well cos i've been treating it really badly by not sleeping well the past few weeks.

and i wasn't all lazy when i was doing that alright? :D
i brought along my story book. yes the southeast asian course pack is just like a storybook.
all the interesting rituals and cultures of the southeast asian traditional people.
the significance of rice, the durian and the jackfruit (:
so i've declared this course pack to be my travel buddy whenever i'm travelling to wherever.
met angmoh for lunch at mayim dim sum! (:
i haven't seen him since forever and he was wearing his ocs book out uniform carrying his huge luggage full of dirty (presumably damn smelly) outfield clothes with his helmet inside.
we order damn a lot of food.
the char siew ko lo buns, with chee cheong fun with prawn, ha gaos, fried pancakes with red bean, wanton mee, mango&sago pudding, deep fried beancurd with prawns etc.
(excuse the lousy chinese pinyin - i admit i'm monolingual)


headed to the macs near by and settle down alone (such discipline!)
decided to catch up on my sociology.
in fact, i wanted to finish up my "culture" and "socialisation" but i realised that culture was such an enormous topic on its own, it was impossible.
i sat down there very dilligently writing my notes for 4-5hours with my emo songs to accompany me.
qianning joined me at the 2 hours mark and she was studying her chemistry for A levels.
thank God i'm an arts student (:
when my brain decided to reach its saturation point, i decided to pack up and leave.
took a train from bukit batok to tampines!
i was people watching. observing people and (sadly) looking at them and studying them from a sociological point of view.
why do people behave the way the do now? what's changed since a few decades ago etc.
HAHA. yes i'm crazy. no more soci for me in a while.
i need to buck up on my economics :(

class dinner tonight! (: i can't wait :D

toodles!

friday. happy (one day belated) birthday michelle ong! (:
i haven't seen you in eons. but im glad i got to ask you out to celebrate your birthday with you and yet have a small and simple gathering! (:
after school, ade&i went shopping for presents for people.
we got some damn cute monster tees from pull&bear.
walked to robinsons to get mong her birthday balloon which i think is damn cute.
it says "today, you rule" haha.
met mong and mumtazah at delifrance at ngee ann city.
sat around and talked a lot, just catching up. was a splendid time spent with them.
after which, we went to get mong her birthday cake (slice) from bakerzin (:
new york cheesecake! (:
mumtazah and i took a bus ride home together.
law is damn interesting - all the different cases and what not.
but sociology is equally interesting. i'm proud to be doing that as one of my modules.

saturday was an extremely busy yet fun day.
early in the morning, i went all the way to pargon to see my doctor.
got my bloodtested again and was prescribed some medication.
headed down to tanah merah to get this gorgeous checker set! (:
the pieces are actually little vanilla flavoured cupcakes.
the white ones are coated in white chocolate and the black ones are coated with dark chocolate! (:
they are delicious! (: seriously.
and checkers is damn fun!
met marc for lunch at railmall after that.
bought 100g of smoked salmon for consumption in the later part of the day.
did a little bit of grocery shopping for my caramel biscuits! haha.
stole 1cent worth of the newspaper cos we were standing around reading information that we thought might be valueable! (:
headed to the cathay for a literal movie-marathon (cos we ran from one cinema to the other)

the first stop: RATATOUILLE
honestly, i think remy is adorable! (:
remy is the rat.
it's a damn cute show that made me very hungry with all the food and what not.
i wish i can cook as well as the rat. haha.
it's entertaining and cute! (:

after which, we ran to watch: SECRET.

i seriously had no intention of watching it cos i'm monolingual.
but the timing for both movies were like so perfect and people have been telling me that it's a damn good show, so why not?
my conclusion? IT'S A DAMN GOOD SHOW.
i love the way the plot unfolds and how every little detail was planned out so precisely by the producers. (:
plus, all the fantastic classical music which i havent' play/heard it a long time.
officially, my favourite chinese movie!

dinner was finger food! like the shihlin food plus my ever craved for man tous.
took a walk around fort canning to eavesdrop on the live band music.
saw a damn grand wedding reception there as well.

today HAPPY BIRTHDAY COVENANT COMMUNITY METHODIST CHURCH!
in case you were wondering, that's my church.
the church that i'm proud to be a part of for the past 13 years! (:
it's a teenager church!
the service was good. i saw myself praying a lot today.
trying to get my mind, heart and soul settled.
HALLELUJAH, PRAYERS WORK WONDERS.

(by the way, marc came to visit the church today)
skipped the lunch at church and headed to johnson duck for duck rice and some bean sprout cooked in si chuan style.
was damn good. went to shop and save to get myself some grapes in order to have a healthy lifestyle but i eventually ended up buying cappucino flavoured mochi. haha.
didn't know how to kill time so i went for a back&shoulder massage.
YAYNESS. but the lady was so rough and my muscles were so stiff so she took damn long trying to loosen them up.
she asked if i had an injury before. that i'm not sure. i sure hope not.
headed to paragon after that to play with the stuff at toys r us and get a rubix cube.
headed to the hiding place after that to listen to a sermon and a very inspiring talk by this guy born with disabilities.
truly inspiring and my heart is rather settled. (:
i feel the burden lifted off my heart. i'm a lot happier now (:
had yummy yummy food for dinner! and supper!
pui! :D
i'm going to attempt to study hard tomorrow with my new lightened load off my shoulder.
wish me luck.
Father, grant me strength, perseverence and discipline.

blogskin dedication.

i figured that it was time for a change. a new template for a new chapter of my life.
i went to blogskins to find one that i would think suits my mood now.
but i just couldnt' find one that's functional yet "mood suiting"
(excuse the constant use of "..." i do put what i learn in school to good use. according to my geog lecturer, "..."s are used when a word doesn't exist in the dictionary but has a meaning behind it)
so since the past few months have been a traumatic rollercoaster ride for me and there's that person (whom you see in the photos) who's always been there for me.
so this goes out to her.
credits of the skin goes to her for inspiration.
i would like to continue working on it to make all the fonts and links and all the little details perfect but i gotta run.
i've got a date with sherilyn and a dinner date with her&jessica.

so yes. i've got a functional. yet very simple and easy to maintain blog with not that many layers! (:



yes. photos taken with the mac book yesterday. (some of them at least)
cheesy smile for you.
such love.
pop art.
glow.
tata folks. hopefully a maxi dress for sherilyn and some non-prints ones for me.
[updated.] back from my shopping trip with sherilyn&jessica! (:
we headed to topshop first and saw many many pretty maxi printed dresses for sherilyn.
but she decided not to get any in the end. saw a damn pretty dress from the petite section but i couldnt' wear it cos it was too darn short. haha.
next stop. we headed to forever 21 to find nothing again.
got tired and thirsty so we ended up at starbucks! (:
sherry had the caramel frap. i had steamed milk and jess was just tempted by my steamed milk. haha.
sat around and talked a little before heading to mango and esprit.
i found this damn nice white dress at mango but there wasn't any sizes :(
all they had was M and L. they called the taka branch, the shaw branch etc. no one had stock :(
damn sad. headed to ngee an city's zara but there was nothing there.
haha. jess was playing with this 3 inch heels that was gorgeous but impractical to buy.
see, we're not impulsive, we're practical shoppers.
then we headed to the mango there. next to mac for sherry to look at her makeup.
i felt totally lost there cos i didn't know what was what. i'm a make up idiot cos i dont' use them.
went along to crystal jade for an early dinner cos jess was hungy (:
we had the deep fried wanton to share. sherry didnt' eat cos she wasnt' hungry.
jess had the seafood horfun. i had the glutinous rice.
(i've been having a craving for gluty rice since southeast asian lecture on wed) haha.
headed next to pull&bear. haha.
where i found 3 dresses! (: (: (:
i got a blue dress. a white&black&grey one. and a white dress!
i didnt' want to get all, but i realised it's damn difficult to find dresses that suit me. so i might as well get them (:
besides! it's my birthday month! (: so i get to pamper myself. hah.
homesweethome.
it was great hanging out with you girls.
we'll find a day when all of us (including ade) are free to crash sherry's house all the way in the north! (:

emo-fied



been into very sappy love songs lately.
funny how at the same time i'm absolutely emo.
in fact, these sappy love songs actually make me somewhat "happy".
maybe it's cause i'm really distracted when i sing.
dug through my entire pile of ANCIENT cds to find the music i listened to in primary school with few exceptions.
my top 20 picks that i love/can relate to (in random order)

1. a1- walking in the rain
2. backstreet boys - what makes you different (makes you beautiful)
3. westlife - somebody needs you.
4. martina mcbride - i love you.
5. a1 - when i'm missing you
6. a1 - one last song.
7. backstreet boys - how did i fall in love with you.
8. backstreet boys - all i have to give.
9. clay aiken - lonely no more
10. lene marlin - sitting down here.
11. leann rimes - i need you
12. bbmak - out of my hear (into your head)
13. bbmak - back here
14. bbmak - ghost of you and me
15. a1 - heaven by your side.
16. a1 - everytime.
17. shania twain - from this moment
18. ronan keating - you say it best, when you say nothing at all.
19. the fray - over my head (cable car)
20. rascal flatts - what hurts the most

i really thank God for creating music.
to me, it's the best creation ever made.
it speaks to me, consoles me and lets me relate to it.
these may be damn old songs, but they're the few beautiful songs with a really gorgeous picture painted with the lyrics.
i've decided that i'm a sucker for songs with beautiful lyrics.
doesn't matter how "uncool" it is to listen to them.

i've lost my voice partially due to singing. but i feel a little lighter and less stressed out.
i need sleep. i need to study. I'VE BEEN DOING NEITHER.
i swear i'm damn ugly now. not to mention that i've been stuffing my face with ice-cream cos it's my happy food. but whatever makes me happy (:

later today: lunch with tartarz at the deck; sociology tutorial with farhan; gyming with mumtazah/netball recre with ade.
tomorrow: 8am econs tutorial; 10am southeast asian studies lecture; 4pm sociology lecture; touch rugby with ade.
thursday: my free day. loner shopping in town (:
friday: 10am geography lecture; 2pm singapore studies lecture; 4pm economics lecture.

wish me luck and freedom from my mundane life. INEEDALIFE!

Father, you put us through pain and suffering as obstacles in our lives for what doesn't kill us is supposed to make us stronger. i'm sorry, Lord Jesus, i've failed the test. i've failed miserably. i'm weak. i'm in so much pain yet i struggle through my life attempting to abide to those 10 rules of life. why am i like this? why can't i be like everyone else in the world? why me to go through all these alone? why? but still i want to thankyou for friends like ade who's always there, willing to listen to me. i'll get stronger, i hope. i'll survive.

catching up!! (:

i think i'm losing my memory.
my memory is failing me and i find the past few days' worth of events hards to recall.
but friday was nydc with ADELELE! (:
i ponned by economics lecture to go out with her. haha.
almost the entire bunch of people went back to pjc for teachers' day celebration.
sadly, ade and i were stuck in school having lectures :(
yes. back to nydc! (:
she had her beef lasagna (what's new, girlfriend)
and i had my DYNAMITE pizza.
the conversation i had with the waitor was amusing i must say.

me: can i have a dynamite pizza?
waitor: it's very spicy you know?
me: how spicy?
waitor: very.
me: as in like the spicy until i'll die if i eat it kind of spicy?
waitor: er.. YES.
me: in that case, i'll change my order to.. nevermind, i'll stick with it.
waitor: sure? ok.

ade and i had loads of BREAD BASED food.
ha. for one. our starters was some yummy garlic toast mozerella! (:
her lasagna came with garlic bread and my piazza was dough=bready.
not to mention the amount of water we drank cos of my pizza! haha.
so you can imagine how rolly polly our tummies were after that!
i had my eyebrows threaded and it was IKEA for us!
headed down to ikea and pushed ade around on the trolley for goodness knows how long.
she's like a little girl i tell you.
she bought a damn pretty bright blue quilt with big round circles on them.
and it came with 2 free pillow cases! (: so i psychoed her to get it! (:
on the other hand, i bought myself some big boxes to keep my jc stuff away.
a red dustbin and 35cents mug to keep my toothbrush in and some uhu glue!
headed across the road to oscar's foodmall (more like food centre!)
played with her mac and started taking lots of crazy photos.
here are our top favourites! haha. (in random order)





that's my dustbin on her head! (:

we're trying to look bored.

our favourite! (: RAWR.

haha. the green drink.



decided to head home after that and ade found ways for me to carry my huge baggage as "conveniently" as possible making me look like some bigbird with huge wings.

naturally, i had big problems getting on the bus. haha. but ohwells. for the fun of it.

dropped off at ade's house and took a cab home (:

GIRLFRIEND! (: thankyou for being there for me and being able the few people who can tell whether i'm happy or sad. and after finding that out, you're always there to cheer me up. thankyou thankyou thankyou. I LOVE YOU! (: first to nydc, newt for SWEDISH MEATBALLS!



watched hairspray on saturday with marc.
haha. it's a damn good show! (:
the songs were fun and the storyline was terrific! (:
reminds me a little of dreamgirls.
only that this one has a more youthful feel to it.
LOVE THE MOVIE!

today, i had ushering duty at church.
headed for lunch at holland v's amici for lunch with khor, ian and isabel.
i had the spaghetti spicy primevero (super healthy stuff), my bro had the spaghetti vongole, isabel had fettucini beef balls and ian had a huge piece of ribeye steak!
the starters bread was absolutely delicious especially with the olive oil and whatnot. (:
headed to settlers to play some board game. haha.
something about a house on the hill. haha.
it was very strategic game but for some strange reasons, i couldnt' think.
isabel&i agreed that it must have been the pasta.
i went grocery shopping and headed to the library after that!
got myself a book to read called Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.
easy reading with loads of pictures of er.. seagulls.
but gives a very lighthearted and warm feeling (:
