I had a very bad encounter on the train today on my way home.

At boon lay station, there were many people waiting to board the train and get a seat, as usual. So, as I boarded the train, my usual style, find a seat. Heex..I spotted 2 empty seats and as I walked to it, this GUY he actually "THUMP", sat down there. While I was like only less than 5 small steps away? And his gf happily sat at the empty seat beside him. I was totally stunned. And did I forget to mention that he's only in his early twenties? KaoZ...

I felt so ridiculed. And to think after he sat down, I actually did not think of sitting down beside him cuz I tot he might just want to sit with his gf. What was I doin, man! But I was really stunned. A guy who's ard the same age as, if not older than, me, actually snatched my seat, right in front of me, under my nose! What has become of the society?!!!!

And and and, the gf did not seem at all displeased with her bf's actions orh. They happily sat down there, oblivious to my stares. No wonder they are a couple, a very compatible couple indeed.

He's so LC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAR 2010

With the start of a brand new year, often, people will start asking one another their new year resolutions. Mine? Simple.

Good health. Good degree. Good job.

=)

Thinking back, many things have happened in 2009. On a personal level, that is.

Bro got enlisted. Life without bro at hm on wkdays. I finally got a chance to experience how work is like in the chemistry industry. After like 5, 6 years, a sec sch class gathering. A mini one i guess. Xmas gift exchanges. New year countdown. Etc etc...

2010 will mark a new phase of my life. A phase that I dread but has to arrive. Lets just hope and pray that everything will turn out well and as wished =)

Happy 18th Birthday to Missy Alivia!!!

Birthday is an occasion that calls for celebrations, since it comes only once a year. This year, the year following the year I officially got my "key" from my parents, I kind of dread it to a certain extent.

Yes, I was very excited knowing my birthday's nearing. But when the actual day comes, I actually felt kinda frightened. Not really that kind of frightened that will scare you off, but the kind that makes u feel, "Oh no, I am one year older now. 1kg of load added. I don't want to grow up." Year after year I have the same thought but yet year after year I can' t stop the number from growing except to hypnotize myself.

And why does birthday always pass by so fast? It's not fair!

Salute With Pride

"I am no longer a civilian. I am now a civilian protector."

~Mister Ray

My brother is officially an army boi!

We've been talking about it for weeks, counting down since last week and finally, THE DAY has come.

08 October 2009 08/10/2009 08102009 08/10/09 08.10.09

The whole family woke up at around 6am this morning, preparing to leave the house at 6.45am. We arrived at pasir ris at around 7.30am and we already saw some people waiting at the bus area. Aren't they excited to be enlisted? Keke..

Since it was still early, we went for breakfast and went to join the crowd after that. Hmmm the shuttle bus was like those sbs buses, nothing special to talk about and the trip to the ferry terminal took about 15 minutes.

The vessel that brought us to tekong looked nice and comfy and was air-conditioned, kinda different from what i pictured. I thought it would be like those lok kor boat which you can even feel the wind brushing your face.

Another 15 minutes of ferry ride and "TA DA", Welcome to Pulau Tekong!

The place was very different from what I've pictured too. Heex..The environment seemed very hmmm condusive, very modern, very clean and nice. Hehe..Upon arriving at the auditorium, Brother were separed from us. Apparently the enlistees had some admin stuffs to do so in the meantime a tour was arranged for us the visitors. There was a bus that brought us from place to place, first introducing us to the various items that the enlistees would be given - their uniforms, shirts, shoes, basic necessities, ration packs etc. Their food menu looked tempting too. Heex..Then we visited their bunks and recreational room. Everything looked great. No wonder I always hear people saying that nowadays de ns men are really lucky, they won't eat a lot of bitter one (direct translation =P). Now that I see for myself, it seems true. At least at that moment, to my eyes.

After the tour, we headed to the auditorium, where the enlistees were already seated, for a talk and oath-taking ceremony of the enlistees. After the ceremony, it was lunch time! The enlistees were assembled outside the auditorium like kindergarden kids waiting for their parents to fetch them home. So Papa and I spotted Brother and off we went to makan!!!

The food mah, hmmmm, the yam rice was chao dar and hard, the veggie and meat was too salty, the apple doesn't look ripe (very yellow), the soup which is salty veggie tofu soup was not salty when it is supposed to be. So, Im worried for dear Brother.

After lunch, we parted with Brother and he was off to assemble at the parade with his platoon mates. I can sense Papa's and Mummy's bu she then. Actually I though I would cry or something but amazingly I didn't. Maybe cuz after touring the bmtc, I am more aware of the environment that he will be in, so I am less worried le bah. I am sure he'll survive through the 9 weeks intensice training de. Cuz he's my brother! =)

On the way back to main island, I must say the 待遇 is very different. First, we had to walk back to the ferry terminal (buses were arranged for us when we first arrived at tekong). Then the ferry was small and old and not comfy (the one we boarded when we went tekong was big and cooling and spacious). We had to wait for 15 minutes for the shuttle bus to bring us back to Pasir Ris Bus Interchange from the ferry terminal (1-2 minutes' wait when we went to the ferry terminal from Pasir Ris in the morning). So what does this imply?

I wonder how's Brother doing now. How he looks like having a botak head. How he's mingling with his section mates. I just hope he doesn't 得罪 people. Thing to be glad is that he has friends in the same platoon as him. What a beautiful coincidence.

I HATE LIZARDS!!!

These four-legged freaks are so detestable!!! They are all around you, waiting for THE moment to strike.

Have you ever, while washing your hair, suddenly heard a "THOP" sound and felt something dropped on your hand? And out of instinct and curiosity, opened your eyes to find a LIZARD right on the back of your hand?! Yes, I just did! YuckZ x infinity!!!

You can't imagine the shock and horror I got when I saw that freaky monster on me! I immediately screamed, shook it off to the floor and squatted on the toilet bowl, too scared to move another inch. I can't get to the showers section cuz the freaky monster was still inside, apparently wanted a bath too "-_-"

I decided I can't sit and wait for it to go off by itself so I decided to call for reinforcement. And Mr Hero aka Tang Papa helped me got rid of it. Thanks my hero! Keke..As for the process mah, I don't think anyone would be interesed. Heex..

You can't imagine how gross it was to have touched that freaky monster unless you've such an encounter before. It's really G-R-O-S-S. I can't imagine what would have happened if the sound of the running water was so loud that I hadn't hear that "THOP" sound. I can't imagine what would have happened if I had decided to ignore the sound even after hearing it. Curiosity doesn't always kill the cat after all.

Then back to my room after the "thrilling" bath, I saw lizard's poo-poo on the floor. Yucks x 100!

I wish Mr Freaky Monster would just leave me alone. Forever.

"The working world is indeed very realistic."

That's my conclusion after 2 weeks of internship.

Yes, I do know the importance of a degree, or more accurately, an honors. And yes, I do know that first class is better than second upper which is better than second lower and so on. What I've neglected is the distinction among them - in terms of the jobscope and, of course, money money money. I mean we all know that there's a difference among these classes but the difference has now been displayed explicitly before me. Never been so real.

So what if I am only a fresh graduate? I have a first class honors.
So what if u have many years of experience? You're just a degree holder.
And that could mean ALOT.

So, to my comrades, lets work hard together! Hang in there! =P

On a ligher note, went roller-blading with JC clique at ECP last week and it was super fun!!! And I proved bro wrong by not falling down even once and I have no "orh qi"! I am a genius!!! Wahahaha..We encountered a super duper damn hao liao instructor there though who was so super sarcastic. I wish he would fall down flat on the ground each time he teaches his students to blade, as an opening gesture perhaps =P

Looking forward to next roller blading session =)

Tired. Very tired. Super tired.

Bacially these are the words that describe what I am feeling right now.

It has only been a week of attachment and I am already feeling very drained.
Drained of energy. Drained of sleep.

Now I can fully understand why working adults always say that it's best being a full-time student.

Priviledges of a student:
1) No penalties for being late for lectures/tutorials
2) Freedom of dressing
3) Less-than-5days week
4) Late wake-up calls
5) Flexible curriculum time (as and when you pon lect/tut =P)

I suppose there are more to be uncovered =)

Finally had a change of hairstyle after keeping 8 years of long hair..

It really takes a lot of courage to have the hairstylist snip off SO MUCH of your beloved hair. But like what he said, "a change of hairstyle" equates to chemical treatment, perming, dying and/or change in length. Since I've forgotten how I look like with short hair ever since sec1, I decided to give it a shot, bo yi bo. Heex..

And...It turned out to be satisfactory =) At least that was what I felt lah..Phew..

But I really felt very xin tong lah, I mean, look, those hair on the floor are ALL your hair, and that's SO MUCH lah, cannot even remember when was the last time I've seen such a big volume of MY hair on the floor of the salon. Kinda she bu de. Don't know when my hair can become that long again. So abit of mixed emotions lah, like the new look but cannot bear to part with the old. Always so mao dun. Heex..

2009-06-10T20:41:00.003+08:00

Just when I thought that we are really not fated, you have to appear again. I have to admit that I was super duper excited when you shouted out to me. You could actually recognised me from the back! That was the longest conversation that we have ever since we graduated from secondary school bah. Shouldn't I be glad and contented that at least I am still a friend to you and not some casual passer-by on the street whom you would just ignore and walk away? Why am I asking for more leh? I am clearly aware that the path leads to a dead end but still...

Many a times we know that things just won't work out, that nothing good will come out from them, but still, we stubbornly pin our hopes on them, only to get those hopes dashed and ourselves hurt in the end. I guess that's human nature bah - 明知山有虎，偏向虎山行. Hopefully, like what kl has said, that kind of feeling will eventually die off as time goes by.

2009-06-05T23:27:00.004+08:00

I LOVE SALES!!!

This is what I am sure many girls would proudly and loudly declare, especially with the recent GSS.

Ever since GSS started last fri, it has been shopping, shopping and shopping. Shopping is so fun!!! Once you start, you cannot stop. Worry about the practicality and money later bah. Heex..

Went m(phosis thrice - twice at centrept, once at orchard. And I am itching to go again!!! But not at these 2 branches of cuz, since the sizes left are those "cold" ones. XiaXia told me there's a branch that has a wider array of apparels and I can't wait to go there! Wahahaha..

At work, there's a sale too! Can you belive it? Haha..The mart in the company was having a clearance sale with all items on 30% discount! And that's when my auntie-ness acted up. Heex..

Besides shopping, I went to watch Angels and Demons with 2 friends on Wednesday and I thought the movie was not bad cuz I've forgotten what I've read from the book 2 years ago le. Heex..NP is kinda small huh, within 1 hour I actually bumped into 5 friends.

Looking forward to the movie screening and more shoppings during the weekends! =)

2009-05-19T22:53:00.003+08:00

I had a very weird dream 2 days ago. Weird but sweet and blissful =) It was so real, in fact, too real, that it made me have a sudden urge. Never felt this way before. I hope this dream will come through. Though not quite possible. But I really hope it will.

2009-04-16T22:56:00.005+08:00

I am SUPER HAPPY today!!!

Not because I am only left with one paper next week, but because I came across what I've been wanting to see for so looooong. Heex..Anyway, it was worth the wait. Keke..

Heaven is still very very nice to me! =)

2009-02-25T23:58:00.005+08:00

Today's the 3rd day of the recess week and i've done nothing but slack. Supposed to study for the horrible accounting quiz nxt wk but just too lazy so kinda behind time now..heex..

Went to the zoo today for a voluntary work that my uni frens and I have signed up for thru wsc..it's a 1-day event to the zoo with austistic kids..actually i din think too much abt it before the event, just thought of doin sth nice then since it has also been some time since i visited the zoo, so might as well make use of this chance lor..

Realised the zoo hasn't changed much since my childhood days..the same toilets, same layout, same species of animals..brings back alot of childhood memories - the family dining in at the A&W located near the car-park and entrance, taking the tram around the zoo, taking pictures with the animals, feeding the horses, enjoying the animal shows, etc etc..everything seemed so new, so fresh, so interesting to a kid back then..revisiting the zoo as a young adult now, the feeling is kinda different..the exciting feeling is still there but no longer as curious as before..

Anw, back to the event, it was super tiring! Especially so when coupled with the hot weather and the super active nature of the kid who was under our care..4 of us were supposed to take care of 2 kids tgt but very naturally, dunno why, we broke up into 2 groups of 2 taking care of 1 kid each..the kid who was under our care is v smart..totally amazed by him..when he's quietly sitting down, enjoying the "cool breeze" (fanned by us), mac n the cold drink, he's actually v cute..heex..there's actually a trick to "handling" the kid, once u've discovered and mastered it, everything will turn out to be nt that tough and difficult to control afterall..just like the saying, "no matter how smart, how capable etc a person is, he/she is bound to have his/her own weaknesses"..

After 2 hrs of chashing, grabbing, coaxing, fanning, etc, we were all dead beat..but it was fun..and meaning of cause..it's a different kind of experience, learning a different way of 与人相处..i hope the kids had fun with all the volunteers tdy and that tdy's trip will be a memorable n enjoyable one for them, one in which when in future they think back of their childhood, all the happy moments spent in the zoo will come flowing back..heex..Afterall, kids are rightly entitled to a happy childhood.

P.S: I saw rainbow twice on my way backee home!!! Whee~~~

2009-02-13T22:31:00.002+08:00

I was having dinner with my family yesterday and while discussing where Bro was planning to go for his grad trip, Papa brought up this Tioman trip which my parents and I went (without bro cuz he wasn't born yet) when I was a lil kid.

He said on the day of return back to sg, the tour guide arranged for everyone to board this boat, those kind that you always see on the Singapore River. Then the ah goong tour guide actually carried me onto the vacant boat first. So the then-very-lil me wandered off by myself while my parents were still on land and according to my Papa, I was walking along the sides of the boat and not at all scared. He was so scared that I would fall into the river that he was lost for words. In the bottom of his heart, he was frantically praying for nothing to happen to me. And of cuz, since I am able to type this post, everything turned out to be fine.

Papa was saying he couldn't understand why I was so brave then. A lil girl, alone, onboard this totally peculiar boat, no tantrums, no cryings for Papa and Mummy and totally had no idea how close she was to drowning.

I felt so warm at heart after hearing what Papa has said. A father's love. Unspokable but deeply felt.
.............................................................................................................................................................................
Another thought came into my mind not long after. Why, as we grow up, we tend to become more 胆小怕事，more 敢怒不敢言, more afraid to fail, more scared of this and that?

Childeren speak whatever comes into their minds, do whatever they feel like doing, not afraid of making mistakes and failing. Why? Because they know that there are always the parents whom they can turn to, whom will clear up the messes they've created. Because they will be and can be easily forgiven on account that they are still kids.

Young adults, on the other hand, cannot be as 潇洒. We have more responsibilities to bear, more considerations to take into, more concerns, more worries. We are expected to be more independent, more sensible, more able to distinguish between right and wrong. We tend to be more careful in our speech and conduct, deploying the so-called play safe or 多一事不如少一事 attitude. We tend to think about the consequences before we speak and carry out any actions beacuse we are afraid of facing the dire consequences when things go wrong, because we are afraid of regrets. As we grow up, we have to face mistakes, obstacles and challenges and learn to clear up those messes we've created ourselves. The last thing that we want is our parents worrying for us all the time, that we've failed them. We want them to be proud of us.

Okie, I think im rambling nonsense now. All I wanna say is: I miss my days as a kid.

Taiwan Trip Ep 3 (09.12.2008)

The first place of interest that we went was 忠烈祠. This was a place of commemoration of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to protect the country. We went in the morning and we managed to witness the ceremony in which the soldiers march from the main entrance of the place to the interior and in which the soldiers each took their own duty positions.

I really pei fu these guards cuz they have to stand under the scorching sun, even during summer, in their thick uniforms for hours and hours. And they are really very 敬业 cuz they stood very very stiff and solemn and they are really expressionless. As a visitor, the help that you can offer them is simply not to disturb them, by trying to tickle them etc.

So cool~~~

Papa trying to "hold" his hand...

The march...

After gracing the ceremony, we went to

for a historical trip. Saw many artifacts inside and some really 令人叹为观止, I've finally seen the real 翡翠玉菜 (think that's the name of it).

Next is the much anticipated Taiwan High Speed Rail journey!

At the train station...

The system is quite similar to airport.

To ride on HSR, you need to get a ticket first then you insert the ticket into this machine, which is quite similar to those in Singapore, and the ticket will pop out from the top, then you just grab the ticket and walk through the gate.

Our tickets...

Here we go!!!

Our train..

The interior of the HSR...

The seats can actually be adjusted, and by adjust i mean the whole row can be turned in such a way that it's facing the window! Isn't that amazing! And I know why each ticket is so expensive, costing around NT125 (around S$6) for a trip just from Taipei to Taoyuan which is like 4 stations away. One of the reasons is of cuz the speed of the train, the comfy of the train and they provide you with services on the train too, to ensure that you have a smooth, comfortable and enjoyable ride, just like on a plane. Services I meant food and drinks. But you gotta pay lah, a coffee on the train costs around S$4 bah.

The train steward...

We've reached Taoyuan in just 20 minutes! I must say their timings are really punctual.

A very interesting signboard that Bro and I spotted at the train station. Kiss and Ride???

Next, we went to

where we saw many pottery and this very interesting eatery which allows you to bring back all the bowls and cups after you have finished eating.

We went to 三峡老街 after that. As we all know, Taiwan has many many temples and we went to this very very grand temple near 三峡老街 that night. The whole temple was like made of gold, so glam, so striking to the eyes. the carvings on the walls were very very exquisite and fine, wonder how long people took just to carve a figure out.

三峡老街 is a place that is filled with very 浓的异国气息, as can be seen from the buildings and shophouses.

There's really a 传承 in Taiwan!

Dinner of the day was at...

It's a very famous 豆浆 shop in Taiwan, selling many kinds of snacks such as 油条，烧饼，小笼包，etc etc, so much so that you'll spend some time thinking what you wanna eat. The 豆浆 is really 赞, so 赞 that I fall in love with it and for the next few days I kept having 豆浆 during breakfast. Heex..

Then shopping again and we dao bao desserts back to hotel again!

The desserts from this shop is really very nice, the 芋圆，芋头，番薯，大红豆, oh no, my saliva are dripping now! The shop assistants are really nice too. I remembered Papa and Mummy wanted green bean with 芋圆 but I don't know why I went too order 芋头 with 芋圆. So I asked the girl at the counter if I can change my order then after she checked out she said cannot le cuz they have already starting preparing it. Then I jiu said okie lor, cannot help it also. But she actually offered to add in green beans for me lor! It was so super nice of her. I mean I was the one who made the mistake in ordering the wrong thing but she sounded as though it was her fault, that she could not help me change to what I wanted. If a similar situation occurs here in Singapore, I bet I'll be facing a black-faced assistant right then bah. The service standard here really needs a lot of improvements.

Taiwan Trip Ep 2 (08.12.2008)

The morning call was supposed to be at 7.30am but we woke up super early and we went down for bf at 7am.

Our breakfast buffet...

The fruits in Taiwan are so super duper sweeeeeeeeeeeeetttt!!!

There was still ample time left before the meeting time so we decided to walk to the very famous temple nearby to bai bai.

The traffic lights in Taiwan are very cute cuz you'll get to see this lil green man "walking" on the screen. And the time allowance for each traffic light varies, the longest that I've come across was 70 or 90 seconds lor. Can you imagine how long you gotta wait just to cross that stretch of road? I guess you'll never ever find such a time allowance in Singapore cuz the pace of our society is just too fast le, who would bother to wait such a long time for the light to turn green?

Public transport in Taiwan...

On the way back to our hotel, we spotted a very interesting underground passage.

The whole underground passage was lined up with a whole array of fortune-telling shops, side by side. Wonder how they can operate under such stiff competition from one another.

Convenience stores are located all around Taiwan, not just 7-11, there are also Family mart and another one which I cant recall the name. We went to 7-11 to purchase a phone card, planning to call my grandparents. Funny thing was we asked the cashier guy how to use the card then he blah blah a whole chunk of instructions which none of us understood. So we decided to read the manual inside and figure it out ourselves. We tried a couple of times but it didn't work so we asked the tour leader and ta da, the line got through! You cant imagine how happy we were when we heard those familiar voices coming from the other end. Heex...

The one with the green receiver was the phone we used to call back to Singapore...

By right the first place that we were supposed to go was to 阳明山纱帽温泉 but the tour guide decided to bring us to this very grand and famous hotel to see see since he said it was on the way.

圆山大饭店

The interior of the hotel was very grand, just like a palace. According to the tour guide, this hotel is just like the heart of the country. Many years ago, the roof top of the hotel was damaged by a fire and not long after this fire, the economy of the country suffered badly. Since then, the people believed that this hotel has very much a feng shui legend and are doing all they can to safeguard this place.

The ceiling of the lobby. There are around 200 dragons encarved on this celing.

The exterior of the hotel...

Then off we go to 阳明山纱帽温泉!!! I've been so looking forward to this 泡温泉 experience. Will never get to experience this kinda spring in Singapore, not even in Sembawang. That is only 小巫见大巫 compared to those in Taiwan and Japan.

The water that runs to the 温泉 place.

There are 2 types of 温泉 available - the public pool and the private pool. The public pool is of cuz sharing the pool with the public, people that you don't know. Then you are not supposed to wear anything on you when you go there cuz it's a shared pool mah. So, as you can guess, we chose the private one. 1-2 people can share each room, and inside each room there's a small pool for you to enjoy the dip. But you first have to fill up the pool yourself lor, you can add in cold water if you think that the 温泉water is too hot for you. It's really very refreshing and 舒服.

On the way back to our coach, there was this very strong pungent smell. Looking around, we realised it was sulphur. You can see yellow patches here and there on the rock, the sight was really wow.

Then we headed to 淡水老街 where it is famous for its 阿婆铁蛋 and 阿给贡丸汤.

铁蛋

The rectangular猪血糕 is really not nice, has a weird and funny taste..Heex...

We dared not try the 臭豆腐 cuz it's simply too smelly!!! From a distance you'll be able to smell something chou chou and you can confirm then that there is a 臭豆腐 stall around. That's how characteristic this snack is. Heex...

Even though the weather was super cold, I couldn't resist the temptation and tried their very tall ice-cream.

There are many many such shops in 淡水, it's amazing how these shops can survive just by operating these machines. But seeing these shops brings back alot alot of childhood memories.

Papa decided to try his luck but it was just too challenging le. Heex...

Headed down to 渔人码头 after that.

A very beautiful 情人桥 near 渔人码头 at around 5plus.　

It's freezingly cold!!!

Such a lovely and romantic name of this scenic bridge was actually given by the ex-President of Taiwan.

The bridge at around 6plus...

It's dinner time!!! We headed to their night market to try out their local snacks.

The famous 蚵仔煎

Frankly speaking, I prefer the 蚵仔煎 in Taiwan. Partly it's because of the sweet sauce, and also, it's not as oily and cui as those sold in Singapore. It's really tasty. *Slurps slurps*

We bought 鸡排，sticks of local delicacies such as breaded sausage and 甜不辣 (picture shown below), 抓饼(which is something like roti prata and my mummy loves it alot), redbean pancakes (the fillings simply fill up the whole pancake!) etc etc back to our hotel to slowly slowly enjoy the food. Heex...

Day 3 to be continued...

2009-01-01T23:29:00.005+08:00

Yesterday was my last day at work. Although it's only 2 weeks and this is not the first time I am working at the same place, with the same group of people, and sitting at the same desk, I felt very very sad when the day ended. Perhaps it's because 又多了一份感情，所以不舍也自然而然地又多了一份. Or perhaps it's because this time round, other than me, 2 other colleagues will be leaving the company also.

These 2 weeks at yeo's have been very fun, although there are alot of work to be done, but going to work everyday is not at all a chore. Compared to the first time, I felt more easy, more like my true self, and we'll joke around and make fun of one another.

People always say happy moments always pass very quickly. I totally agree. Little little bits - Pamela, Aishah and I cooping ourselves in our room sharing pizzas and snacks, planning birthday surprises for June, exchanging xmas gifts, Uncle John trying to hard-sell his 2 sons to me, Gary forever making fun of me, Annie and Pei Fen forever giving lil lil gifts to me, the whole world thinking that I am an underage kid, etc etc, too too many for me list down. I felt adorned, just like a little girl =)

They told me to give them a call next time when school vacation starts again. But the next time I go back there, it'll no longer be the same le bah. Cuz Uncle John is retiring while Senior Gary is leaving for somewhere where greater opportunities lie for him. I wish them all the best and I sincerely thank every one of them for their 照顾 during these 2 weeks. I will miss you all de.

Taiwan Trip Ep 1 (07.12.2008)

The clock read 3.30am on a fine Sunday morning. With much anticipation and excitement, I woke up after a mere 2-hours sleep. The day has finally arrived!!! Wahahaha...

Papa was the 2nd one to wake up and after some dressing up, he went down to the nearest coffee shop to da bao breakfast for us. Then it was a fast breakfast while doing last minute checks to ensure that we've brought all the necessities and that all the windows etc have been properly locked and electricity off.

We went down to wait for cuzzies' dad to drive us to the airport at around 5.15am. It was so nice of him to offer us a ride =) On the way to the airport, I had some mixed emotions. Feeling excited about going on a trip with my family but kinda scared and nervous at the same time because it has been some time since I last stepped out of my comfort zone into a foreign territory, unaware of what is awaiting me.

We were supposed to gather at 6.05am but the tour leader was late. Waited till around 6.30am before we checked in. The flight was scheduled at 8.05am so while waiting for the gate to open, we walked around, took some pictures and made use of their free internet access.

The plane looks big but I think the seats are like too packed together, as in the spacing between the 1st and 2nd row is too little, don't even have enough space for me to stretch my legs. But the good thing is there is entertainment - movies, fm, games, music, shows, etc, to help us pass time. We made use of the time to catch up with our sleep too. Heex...There has been this "remedy" that has been passed on from generations to generations that if you experience discomfort in your ears while at great altitudes, swallow your saliva and you'll be alright. I kinda agree that it works to a certain extent. Try it out next time when you are on the plane. Heex...

On the plane...

4 hours 40 minutes later, I proudly announced, "Taiwan, here I come!"

Couldn't contain my excitement. I'm finally in Taiwan le yeh! The place which I've always seen on tv, but never had the chance to go. Now now now, the chance has come! Wahahaha...

Awaiting us when we stepped out of 桃园中正国际机场 was a coach and a guy whom I supposed was our tour guide. The 1st place we went was Taipei 101. On the way there, I saw many places which I've always hear on taiwanese shows like 新光三越, 诚品书店, 纽约纽约 etc. The area surrounding Taipei 101 were basically shopping malls, or rather high-class shopping malls with all the well-known brands inside, just like our Paragon.

The building right behind the red block is the "legendary" 新光三越

Inside Taipei 101 shopping mall...

You'll get to see many many ads with famous artistes all around Taiwan.
Was super excited when I saw this ad outside Watson. Heex...

We "meet" Patty Hou too.

A trip up to Taipei 101 costs about 450NT which is around S$27 and it takes only like less than 20minutes so we decided not to go up there and walked walked around the area instead.

Taipei 101

A picture with the tallest building is not bad either. Heex...

We were amazed by this guy in one of the shopping malls cuz he was super polite. I think he's sort of the customer service officer cuz I saw people approaching him to ask for directions and locations of shops. He doesn't have a seat, throughout the time we observed him, he stood beside this very small counter, dressed in very neat suit, smiling and bowing to every single person who approached him for help. After rendering his assistance to them, he even thanked them and bowed to them again. A perfect 90 degree bow. And mind you, he did the same actions to EVERY person. I was shocked and amazed by his politeness and his passion for his work. It's a sight I guess I would never ever see in Singapore bah.

After that, we went to 中正纪念堂 and saw many exhibits of Mr Chiang Kai Shek.

One thing that I must mention is that although there is no time lapse between Singapore and Taiwan, the daytime in Taiwan is shorter, basically the sun sets at around 5plus and by 5.30pm it's total darkness, just like our 9,10pm. That's why when we stepped out of the memorial hall, we were shocked, cuz when we went in it was still very bright and sunny, but after 30-45min when we stepped out, nighttime greeted us. And because of that, we nearly lost our way cuz every entrance/exit looked the same to us! Heex...

We managed to catch sight of people gathering in their 自有广场, trying to stage a protest. It was very 夸张 , with many people and props around-stage, banners, petitions, etc and many vans from the various tv stations, trying to film down the scene, it was really an eye-opener for us. I think it was quite scary also, cuz you never know when these people will suddenly turn crazy and drag you in, force you to join in their protest.

The last place that we visited on our 1st day in Taiwan was 西门町. It's really equivalent to our Orchard/Far East. The whole place was very big, if you are not familiar with the area like us, you'll easily lose your way. You'll see the same stuffs over and over again at different parts of 西门町, quite the same as our Bugis Village in a way.

A must-try delicacy, especially under such low temperature, cold weather.

Taken outside 西门町's Big Train.
My lao gong is as tall as me. Wahahaha...

Then it was back to our hotel. By then, it was already like 9,10plus. Watched abit of their taiwanese idol dramas before going to sleep. Shall conserve energy for the next day =)

~~~Home Sweet Home~~~

2008-12-07T01:03:00.017+08:00

Finally back to updating my 21st birthday party! Heex..Been so busy these days, attending to all the preparations for our dear-very-much-anticipated Taiwan trip!!! Wohoo~~~

Talking about my 21st birthday party, which took place last month (on 8 Nov 2008) but still seemed so recent up, it was a very very busy but fun and enjoyable party.

The day started with XiaXia coming to my house in the late morning, supposedly to help me decorate my house but in actual, brought many pleasant surprises for me *wink winks* Then after decorating the house, with much help from Bro and XiaXia and teeny weeny bit of help from our Ms Hay No1, XiaXia and I started to dress- and make-up, with like only an hour left to the start of the party. Everything was like so rush but formal, even Papa commented that it was as though it was my wedding day. Wahahah..

Anyway, just as we were in the midst of our make-up session, the buffet uncle came. And I had to search for the invoice for my parents so that they could "count" if the dishes tallied, if they were what we asked for. And I missed the part in which the uncle set up the whole layout cuz I had to finish up my make-up. Heex...

Then, people started coming in at around 6.30pm. I cant really remember who were the ones who came in first, think it was my relatives. Then not long after, my 1st group of friends-my JC clique, arrived. Then more and more people started flowing in, and I was running here and there, "escorting" my friends into my room to put their belongings, bringing them out to get food, directing them to somewhere to sit, and before I could sit down and chat with them, another group of friends came and the whole process went on and on. So I was like running all about, but it wasn't at all tiring, in fact, I enjoyed the whole process. I am truly sorry to all who turned up for the party because I am not a very good host lah but I hoped that you all have enjoyed yourselves, enjoyed all the juicy gossips that you all have shared but which I have missed out. Grrr....

Though some unhappy events occurred during the party, I weren't troubled by them at all because I didn't bother much about them. It's my party, why should I let these things affect my mood? Heex..But actually it's nothing much lah. Heex..

After the cake-cutting, photo-takings and all, the guests started to leave, with the last group of friends leaving at 12plus. Then it was time to wrap up everything. Clear the food, collect back all the chairs, mop the floor, etc etc. I couldn't bear to bathe, cuz everything was like so nice, so pretty and perfect, so unlike the normal/usual/casual me. Heex...So took many many photos before I finally went to take my bath. Heex...

After I came out from the shower, my cousins and mummy were all in my room, waiting for me to unwrap my presents. I have never received so many presents in a day before, so happy =) But I decided not to cuz I wanted to wait for the actual day. But under "pressure" from them, I unwrapped lil cousin's and it was a very sweet gift from him. As for the presents from cousins/bfs and bro, it was a very very very very unexpected gift. I was so touched when I saw that gift from them, I can imagine the time and efforts that XiaXia and HuaHua have put in, it's something that brings back so so much memories, something that I will cherish very very much.

"Guest book" done by XiaXia and HuaHua

A priceless gift that brings back lotsa memories...

Initially, after the gift-wrapping, cousins and I planned to drink and have girls' talk de, but lil cousin was tagging us cuz he's not sleepy at all but Bro was too tired to entertain him. Haha..And this little dimple guy actaully taught us a new game that is being played with UNO cards. Suddenly I felt so old. Haha..The funny part was he was the one who taught us how to play but in the end, we became more pro than him. Wahahaha..Kids are kids, they have endless energy lah, he wasn't at all tired after all the games, so wide awake at 5plus in the morning. We reli couldn't tahan anymore and we told him to go sleep. The next day, he woke up at ard the same time as us. Kids...

Cannot believe that the party has been over just like that. Few hours as though few minutes. This was the first time we are holding a party in our house and I am amazed that our house could actually accommodate so many people. Had me worry so much before that. Heex..Shall express my gratitude to everyone who has helped in making the party a great great success through this post:

Thank you Papa and Mummy for financially supporting the party. =P

Thank you Bro, XiaXia and Ting for helping out in the decorations.

Thank you XiaXia and HuaHua for the surprises.

Thank YOU for attending my party despite the exams being just round the corner.

Thank YOU for the well-thought-of presents.

Thank YOU for making my 21years of life so special and I look forward to more 21years ahead.

Many many thanks to YOU, YOU and YOU!!!

My 21st Birthday Party Part 2:

I was so excited about the party that I woke up at 7am yesterday morning even though I slept at 2plus the night before. Heex..

XiaXia came over to my house at around 11plus in the morning, supposedly to help me deco my house. But we went CWP to meet my mummy for lunch and shopped for a while before heading home. It was like 3plus in the afternoon le so we decided to chop chop, lucky still got bro and Ting around to help out. So we started decorating the house, half fooling around, half doing work. The whole process was very fun. Heex..

Party deco bought from bugis..

Erm, are we preparing for a party or pagent?

Come on, don't be shy to show ur body! =P

Any companies lookin for new 代言人?

We speak no evil..

And now, I present to you the "end-products"of our hard labor...Keke..

Thankew so much Xuan, XiaXia and Qiuting for helping out and making my house looks so party-like! Haha..

My 21st Birthday Party Part 1:

Ms Bi Ying is a very very very happy girl!!! =)

Just held my 21st birthday party yesterday at my home sweet home and it was so fun! I thank each and every relative and friend for their presence and I really really appreciate it alot. And of course, most importantly, my parents who 出钱出力 in organising this party and making it a great success! I am very thankful for all the love, care and concern that my loved ones have showered me with, I am really very contented and I do feel very very 幸福!

I was trying very very hard not to cry on the party cuz the make-up and all will smudge then the birthday girl will become so ugly. But while typing this post, alot alot of memories flooded into my brain and that feeling just surfaced from deep within my heart. Many a times, people just tend to keep their truest feelings deep inside them, not because they don't wanna share, but because some feelings are 非笔墨所能形容, it's just too difficult, or rather, insufficient, to use words to describe them. I decided to "pen" down some of my feelings, feelings that I am more comfortable in sharing and that I could find appropriate or close-enough words to describe.

To my 公公 & 婆婆 - Ah girl 的童年因为有你们的疼爱，是很美好的。每次 Papa/Mummy 因为我坏蛋要打我的时候，你们都会出来保护我，每次我想去玩的时候，都会带我到家楼下的 playground 玩，还买糖果, 饼干给我吃，深怕我吃不饱，肚子饿。还有,每天放学有motor 可以坐回家，那时我第一次坐 motor。对一个当时只有 7, 8岁的小朋友来说，这是很刺激的，所以我超爱坐的你的motor。这一切的一切都深深地埋藏在我的心里，这些美好的童年记忆我是永远不会忘记的。

To my parents - Your daughter has grown up le! Thank you for all these years of upbringings and tolerating my willfulness . 辛苦你们了！=)

To my bro - Although you ALWAYS bully me, but without you fighting with me all the time, it'll be so boring. And thanx to you, I've mastered the highest level of "忍功" =P

To my cousins - Thank for bringing all the childhood memories back to me. I am really really touched. You girls are sooooooo sweet! =)

To my late 阿嬷 - Ah Girl 长大了! 希望你在另一个世界过得很好很好，我们会乖的，不用担心。

2008-10-31T22:45:00.009+08:00

I've got my FIRST 21st birthday present today!!! And of course, the lovely present is from my dearest Papa and Mummy!!! So happy!!!

2008-10-28T22:45:00.023+08:00

Been very busy the past weekends, not with studies, but with outings and birthday party! Haha..

There was this wedding lunch on Sunday and then the much awaited Singapore Flyer trip!!! Woohoo~~~

I must admit, before going there, like many people, I had this thought, "Singapore Flyer? Sure not, what's there to see, Singapore is only this big. Plus with the IR projects going on now, all you can see are tower cranes, construction sites and many many holes." But trust me, after taking a ride up there, you'll realise how naive you have been.

So small, but yet...

so BIG!!!

I was kinda shocked when I saw the real size of the capsule. It's really really big. Then before you get to the boarding area, there's this place where they'll help capture a photo for you, photo of you in the capsule. And everything is done automatically! Super cool!

I think the settings are quite similar to the airport. There's this stretch of path that really looks like the connector to the entrance of a plane (dunno if that's the correct term, but around there lah. heex..). Then it'll lead you to the capsule, of course. The thing I don't really like about it is there after exiting from the stretch, there's this "road" that is not sealed or barricaded or anything, just a safety net beneath. So you really have to take good care of the kids else they'll just fall over and end up at the net which I have doubts about its strength.

Part of the "road" to boarding the capsule...the net is just above the trees..

Upon boarding the capsule, there'll be this "tour guide" who will guide you through the 30-minutes ride and introduce you to the many sights that you'll see. Ours was a malay guy and I think he's quite funny. Heex..You'll get to see many many many many landscapes, such as Changi Airport, and even other countries like Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia etc etc, that you'll never to see and realise when you are as a normal person on land. We were so super duper excited even before boarding the capsule and you can imagine the state of excitement we were in throughout the whole journey. And you'll realise that 30 minutes is really too short!!! Heex..

The F1 pit stop..

The Marina Barrage, to be opened on 1Nov..

The Marina Golf Course...

The floating platform, now transformed into a soccer field, on which, according to bro, a match will be played at a later date..

The Stratis of Malacca...

The legendary Hotel 13 (Hotel Copthorne)...

The future IR..Poor workers hafta work 24/7 in order to complete the project by 2010 else the contractors would have to be fined 20million per day. Gosh..

At the peak of our dear Singapore Flyer, 165m off ground, 42 storeys high...splendid view..

My look-fierce-but-very-kind father, sweet-but-scared-of-height mummy and trying-to-act-cool bro and not forgetting the trying-to-act-cute me =P

Fun time with cousins' family in the capsule...

Our family and Xiao Gu's family...I like this picture alot alot alot!!!

2008-10-21T22:48:00.002+08:00

I didn't realise that there are like so many november babies until invitations came one after another. And that includes yours truly =)

Yea, have already started planning for my 21st birthday party and have sent out invitations to those who should receive them. Since my house is like not very big and my parents are inviting alot of relatives, I am "entitled" to invite only a couple of friends, with the limited space that we have. So, if you are invited, that means you play a very important role in my life and your presence means alot to me! Heex..

Invitation card wise, I've spent 2 pain-staking nights figuring out how to use the program and design the card and finally I came up with something that I thought was not too bad, still presentable, given the "high" level of 艺术天分that I possess.

The card that was done by me...

But but but, dear dear bro thought that it was too dull and within 1-2 hours he came up with the card that you people have received. I have to admit that the one he did is really much much better than mine. So I allow myself to be mocked by him and labeled "no艺术天分". But since I've spent so much effort and time in doing my invitation card, I've decided to publish it here, for the benefit of those who didn't get a chance to admire my masterpiece. Heex..

The card that was done by bro...

I lurve XiaXia so much and she made my day cause she said my card was nice!!! Wahaha..In case you are wondering, "Sure not, you think too much lah, she just wanna console you only." I can very firmly tell you, NO, she meant what she said. I could feel that she really meant it okie, don't ever doubt this fact =P

2008-10-04T13:47:00.003+08:00

A friend once told me that if you ever wear a 玉镯 or 佛珠 on you and it breaks not long after you wear it, it means that that item is not the right one foe you. But if you've been wearing it for quite some time and it fits you very well, then that means that's THE ONE for you. But if it ever breaks one day, there are 2 ways of deciphering it. It could symbolise a bad omen and that something bad is gonna happen. Like what we always see in shows, the lady reciting with 佛珠 in her hands then suddenly the string snapped and something bad happened to her loved one(s). The other, which is the better one, is that something bad has happened and the 玉镯 or 佛珠 has so called "sacrificed" itself to help you 挡煞， so you have been "protected" by your 玉镯 or 佛珠.

I choose to believe in the latter.

2008-09-14T22:58:00.002+08:00

中秋节快乐!!!

It's the festive of mooncakes, lanterns and candles again. And an occasion that signifies 圆圆满满, happy ending for all.

We went back to grandparents' house for dinner just now and Da Gu, Xiao Gu & their families were all there. Ever since Da Gu started working shifts and I started hosting the radio programmes, I haven been seeing them le. So was happy when Papa told me that they will be going grandparents' house for dinner today. Heex..

So bro and I brought candles and 仙女棒 there to play with lil cuzzies. Those kids can really make you laugh your heads off with their innocent and silly jokes and actions. Haha..

Back at home, looking down at the playground, there are still so many kids down there playing with their siblings and friends and many parents lantern-strolling with their children. These kinda scenes always bring back alot of fond childhood memories which I suppose are very difficult to go through again in real life now that we all have grown up.

Somehow events just keep on happening to remind me that I am about to truely become a grown-up liao. I don't like this feeling. But as my 21st birthday nears, which is like in less than 2 months, I guess I have to learn to gradually accept the fact, get used to it and live with it bah.

2008-08-26T21:32:00.002+08:00

Hosted my first ever 'live' on-air show today!
Wahaha..

Though Daphne and I were like so lost, not knowing how to operate the equipment and all, we still managed to pull through the whole 2 hours. Haha..

There were quite a couple of problems actually. First we couldn't hear our voices through the ear-phones n stereo. Luckily the MD came in in time to help us out. Then the SM called me to tell me that we forgot to switch off the mikes so apparently everyone tuning in to the station at that moment heard our private conversation. Praying that we didn't say anything bad about anyone or anything. Heex..The next thing was that the system in the booth can only play music in mp3 format! And I've saved mine as wma! So we frantically searched through our thumb drives and in the end we managed to source enough songs to last us through our programme. Phew, close shave. So basically our 2 hours were spent solving one problem after the other. But we managed to do it! Haha..

After this first experience, we now know how to better run our programme, kinda getting the hang of it le. It's fun actually. After all, not everyone has or will have the chance to host an on-air programme. So must really enjoy it. Heex..Looking at ways to improve our programme also, hopefully the next will be better! At least, I won't let the songs go wrong again. Heex..

2008-08-23T23:19:00.004+08:00

I went to catch this movie with my family on Friday night, after Mummy and I didn't manage to catch it last week. Frankly speaking, I didn't have much expectations for this movie but since Mummy, and then Papa, wanted to watch so jiu went with them lor. I didn't expect so many people inside the cinema actually since the movie has already been up for like 3 weeks? Yup, but seems like the box office is really good.

As usual, the movie touched on alot of 小市民的心声 and many issues that are prevalent in our current society. The movie was super touching towards the end, I felt like crying out loud lor, but cannot lah, too embarrassing le. Heex..Wonder how some children can just treat their parents so cruelly. How could they bear to do those kind of things to their parents who went through so much to bring them up and nurture them lor. So terrible.

I don't deny that sometimes my attitudes towards my parents especially my Mummy are bad. I really very much appreciate her tolerance and understanding because after all the tantrums and all, when I think back, if I were her, I definitely would have snapped at my kids le. Cheers to the nobleness of parents. =)

You are 10:02 a.m.
You are breakfasty, like a pile of pancakes on a Sunday morning that have just the right amount of syrup, so every bite is sweet perfection and not a soppy mess. You are a glass of orange juice that's cool, refreshing, and not overly pulpy. You are the time of day that's just right for turning the pages of a newspaper, flipping through channels, or clicking around online to get a sense of how the world changed during the night. You don't want to stumble sleepily through life, so you make a real effort to wake your brain up and get it thinking. You feel inspired to accomplish things (whether it's checking something off your to-do list or changing the world), but there's plenty of time for making things happen later in the day. First, pancakes.

13% of the people who took this quiz got the same evaluation.

Amazing test. See, Im indeed SWEET! =P Keke..

It has been two weeks since I left YHS, kind of miss my ex-colleagues. It was a really enjoyable experience working with them. Going to work everyday was so stress-free and relaxed. Even though I was only a temp, they treated me really well, the whole dept was like a big family to me. It was a very different encounter from the previous one, I felt more warmth and ren qing wei in this dept. But happy moments are always so short-lived.

During my last week of work, the whole dept, including our big boss, treated me to a sumptuous meal. I was quite surprised because I didn't expect everyone to turn up. The most surprising and touching part was on my last day of work. My supervisor and colleagues whom I always hang around and work with actually bought me a very very sweet gift! It really caught me by surprise. They actually bought a small photo frame and inside was one of the photos we took during my supervisor's birthday. So sweet and thoughtful of them! Lucky I've also prepared some customized gifts for them. Heex..

I'll remember the fond memories of all the birthday celebrations, feasts, car pool etc de. It was a great pleasure working with you guys. =)

It has been a week since the new academic year. Time really flies. For some, they are already in their last year of study, or even last semester. Soon, they will be entering the varsity of society (社会大学）.

Sometimes when people ask you about your ambition, what you want to achieve in life, your goals etc, it's kind of scary and guilty not being able to give them a definite reply or even give an answer. Does a life without a goal equate to a life without meaning? We always hear others talking about their ambitions, but just how many people are able to achieve their goals ultimately? Daring to dream and being realistic, they just don't go with each other huh?

2008-08-04T22:37:00.005+08:00

On the 25th of July, the 4 pretty As went to Hanabi to celebrate the eldest A's birthday. It was a session full of fun, laughter, nonsense and cam whoring. Oh by the way, sashimi is really not nice, don't know why some people love it so much.

Can I have a similar present for my birthday too? It's simply soooooooooooooooo sweet! =)

After dinner, the 4 girls went to Cafe Cartel and had a pretty bad encounter there. But the ice-cream was really nice though. Thanks to the 3 sisters, the prettiest A got a pretty big share of the dessert =P

With full full stomachs, eldest A went to chalet while the other 3 As headed home. At home, it was mahjong session!!! Wahaha...Needless to say, the winner was the prettiest A and she tong sha! Wahaha...Who was the one who suggested playing mahjong in the first place? =P

Really had an enjoyable time with them all and hopefully the next time round Mr R can join in the fun! Haha..

2008-07-28T08:05:00.007+08:00

I was watching《放羊的星星》last night and the scene in which 天骐 (林志颖饰）got beaten up till his right hand became disabled kept flashing through my brain. I couldn't get to sleep. It was so horrible. I couldn't get that image off my mind even until now. I guess I am too 入戏 already bah. The reason being Jimmy acted really really well, so well that it was as though I have been brought to that place, witnessed that scene and could really feel the pain he was going through.

If you are looking for shows to watch,《放羊的星星》is highly recommended, though one may find some scenes very familiar. 在观看的过程中会让人不自觉地被剧情牵动，让人深深地感受到剧中人物所经历的种种矛盾和情绪。一些情节的意想不到使这部偶像剧和其他剧情千篇一律的偶像剧相比起来精彩许多，让人有种想一直追看下去的冲动。A very nice show =)

After so many years, Jimmy is still as handsome and baby-faced. I am going to place him on my bf list now. Heex..I especially like his dimples. Dimpled guys are sooooooooooo cute! =)

2008-07-18T23:13:00.004+08:00

Many events took place during the past few weeks. Too many in fact. Heex..Shall update the more significant ones.

Thanks to cuzzie XiaXia, HuaHua and I and our friends managd to go catch Gary's Welcome to my World concert at the indoor stadium last Saturday. 1 word: Superb. I especially like the part where he sang My Way, 1 person singing both the male n the female vocals. 超厉害的! Listening to his live performance is really 一大享受. Even when he sings those very high keys, it's still very very nice, very comfy to the ears, unlike his guest, although when they sang the duet it was very nice. Geex..The MC part was funny too. I've always thought he was a quiet guy. The surprise of the night was the appearance of Aska aka Yang Zong Wei. He was actually sitting at the 1st row, watching the concert together with us! Haha..All in all, the concert was very worth the money. Shall post up some photos next time. =)

Argh, I cannnot think of anything right now le. There seems to be alot of things that I wanna blog about, but at this moment, nothing seems to come out. Am I getting older? I hope not. =)

2008-06-01T22:40:00.003+08:00

The past few weeks had been very fulfilling and fun. Suddenly had an urge to learn baking and cooking, dunno why, just an urge.

Papa say my muffins are nice. He sounded sincere, true words from the bottom of his heart =)

Tao suan was a failure, too nuan. But cuzzie said mine's better than her mum's. I appreciate her console. And apparently Da Jiu likes my tuan suan too. Now I can finally understand and feel his love for tuan suan.

Oneh oneh was next. Finally, a SUCCESS! Heex..It was really nice. As nice as Xiao Gu's. Our neighbour even said that Mummy and I could set up a stall to sell these. Heex..Super happy.

Now I can understand why chefs always say that the biggest achievement they get from the profession is when people like their food and are full of praises from them. The smiles and the look of enjoyment on the faces of the patrons are enough to make up for the hard work and efforts that the chefs have put in.

I still have a very very long way to go but I'll work hard de! Heex..Next on my list is Oni, a kind of yam paste dessert. Wish me success bah! =)

There are like 3 types of cakes in my fridge now. A strawberry cheesecake which I redeemed from Bengawan, a mothers' day cake bought for dearest mummy and a slice of cake cut out from the big big one ordered for grandfather's birthday. The hays sisters can forget about coming to wipe them out cause I can finish them all by myself! Wahaha..I love cakes! The fats mah, I'll skipped them off later. Heex..

This year's mothers' day was quite special because we have a new boss! And I love him so much! Haha..He's like earning 5K per month, gave dinner treats at Thai restaurant, bought Four Leaves mango cake and a flower toy which papa thinks can be used to scratch back. Heex..Had our usual cake cutting at home the next day since going grandparents' house on Sunday.

Delicious mango cake..*slurps slurps*

Papa can't wait to get his hands on the cake..Heex..

The buffet at grandparents' house yesterday was so sumptuous! Pizzas, prawns, nuggets, otah, you tiao, curry, veggie, fried been hoon and mee, etc. Thinking back now makes me feel so hungry! I like this kind of family gathering where the whole Tang family come together, talk about this and that and the kids playing around. It's a very warm and cozy feeling.

Happy Birthday to 亲爱的 Gong Gong!!!

My youngest cousin aka cutie pie aka chilli padi..

I was supposed to meet up with a sec sch friend yesterday and while waiting for her, I stood in front of the map placed somewhere outside the control station, trying to see where the National Library is situated. Then this uncle approached me and asked if I am a foreigner. Then he said he thought I was Michelle Chia. He said my eyes look so much like hers. At that moment, I felt ridiculous cause seriously I don't look a teeny weeny bit like her. Anyway I just politely walked off after that. But come to think of it now, it's kinda funny huh. Haha..

Started my special sem module on Tuesday, quite tiring. But the lecturer is urmp, funny, which is a better choice of adjective than lame. Heex..And he respects us so much, always release us early! Haha..

Went to send Mei Wei and Hui Shi off last weekend. I think Mei Wei is really brave, taking the plane alone. Just the thought of it is already so scary. Small tiny girl with big big courage. And the scene of her n her bf hugging together, looking so bu she de is so touching. So tv serials are really reflecting real life. Heex..Hope both Mei Wei and Hui Shi enjoy their trips and that everything is going well for them now. Anyway, after sending off Hui Shi, Kangli, Daphne and I went to k and don't know, we suddenly had a cam whoring itch and began taking some silly photos. Haha..

Some "normal pictures"..

苦命的人
so near yet so far..what a pathetic couple..

认真的女人最美丽..A penny for our thoughs =)

poor maria has to work so hard while madam is enjoying her beauty sleep..

小夫妻

It's always so peaceful and calm before disaster strikes..
Round 1, fight!

Aiyah, 原来只是夫妻俩耍花腔，哄一哄就happy ending,没事了.

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY

to
KANGLI !!!

After the last paper today, the whole clique went to ms in shuwen's car to celebrate kangli's birthday. Walked around the mall in search of kangli's present before finally settling on a bag from charles and keith which I think is not bad.

Dinner was at pasta de waraku. I think the waiter likes huishi cause he kept wanting to serve her. Heex..Anyway, I found a strand of hair in my pasta and, of cause, as a consumer, I immediately asked for a change. Nevertheless, the food was nice.

Went over to suntec and I spotted basketball machines at the arcade! So the whole clique xing zhi bo bo went in, divided ourselves into groups of 2 to compete, exchanged tokens, and ta da, the match started. We were so excited and I can hear the oops and ar-s from beside me. Eventually the huishi-and-daphne pair won. They were the only pair that got into the 2nd round. Haha..I think it was very fun lor, must go there to play each time I go suntec in future. Heex..

Went to carrefour to see the deuter bags and we ended up shopping there. There were so many things to play and see. Dedicated a birthday song to kangli too, hope she likes it =) Saw many new items on display such as a hair-dryer that can make your hair straight after using it and a sort of like a pot thingy that can turn your dough into bread. So amazing. So we spent much of our time yan jiu-ing those devices like tai-tais lidat (not housewives ya =P) and it was fun. Got to know many things from them. Actually I think we had more fun in the hypermart than shopping outside. Heex..

I hope kangli enjoyed herself today though she was still not feeling quite well just now. Hope she likes the lil surprise we planned for her. Still not 12mn yet so Happy 21st Birthday to you still, my dear friend! Get well soon! =)

Yesterday was a very happy day.

Last night, out of boredom and for the fun of it, I tried calling into a radio station. And the line got through! Haha..Listening to my own voice being broadcasted on air, it feels kinda shuang. Didn't know yuan lai I sound like that. Haha..

And last night, I had a dream. A very weird dream.

I dreamt that bro met xiaozhu, forgot at where, then bro fall down and then xiaozhu went to give him a hand. Then xiaozhu felt bad that bro got hurt because of him so he decided to sort of like return a favour to bro, grant him a wish and sort de lah. Then bro came home and told me about his encounter and of cuz, I was so super excited and envious of him lah. So I begged bro to bring me with him to go meet xiaozhu. And I brought his book, magazines, cds, etc, anything that could be autographed on with me, hoping that he can and will autograph for me. And then...I forgot.

Argh...I don't know why, the dream got interrupted. I don't know if anything happened after that. If something had really happen, I cannot remember le also. Not a single bit of idea. Argh....

Nevertheless, being able to see him in my dream is already a very happy thing le..Heex..He appears even in my dreams wor! Haha.. With him, all dreams are sweet dreams. =)

2008-04-08T19:37:00.002+08:00

Been super busy the past few weeks; with schoolwork and personal stuffs.Almost couldn't take it with so many things at hand to do and to complete.Thanks to my parents and friends, I've endured it le. But there's always more to come. That's life.

Anyway, a 2-day ritual was held at amk last week, cuz it has been 2 years since ah ma passed away and such a ritual is a traditional Chinese custom. Actually it was quite an eye-opener for us the young generation. Learnt alot about the various customs that the Chinese have. Got to know about the realistic side of life too.

According to the adults, ah ma n ah zor and their parents came to get the money while they were being burnt in that very very big metal cage. I hope they do too and hopefully they will enjoy their time together in that very very big bungalow.

2008-03-26T23:12:00.003+08:00

MeiWei and I were waiting for Daphne at the control station today and we saw something that was quite amusing.

While looking around, I saw this $10 dollar note that was bring fed out from the mouth of the top-up machine. So i told mw about it and we started observing people who were topping up their ez-link cards at the machines that were beside this machine. Apparently no one saw the note because they either just walked past the machine or, after seeing the "Out of Service" sign at the top, went to the other machines. Until this woman came. We saw her walked up to the machine, placed her card on the reader and after looking around a little, took the note and kept in her possession.

My comment was her acting was super lousy. And kind of funny too. She thought no one saw it, but we do. Heex..

When she walked past us, she just looked very normal and calm, nothing special. But when we saw her again at the berth with a man, she was like so happy lor and we presumed she was sharing the "secret" with that man cause she was like whispering into the man's ear. She was grinning all the way now that she was out of the "crime scene". Quite funny.

Actually now that I come to think of it, I think I was quite silly. Like what mummy have just said, if I don't take it, someone else will do. Why let others stand to gain when I should be the one benefiting instead? True. Like what I've mentioned in my presentation today, selfless people are very rare. There's even a chinese saying, 人不为己，天诛地灭. How I wish I could turn back time.

Wounds need time to heal.

It could be 1 hour, 1 day, 1 month, 1 year or longer. No one has a definite answer.

Sometimes what the person needs is not only time, but more importantly, the support, love, care and concern from the loved ones.

It not that they want it to happen, they too hope that they can get over it soon but the psychological barrier is simply too huge. It is the hardest thing to overcome.

We always sat that only you can help yourself go through the ordeal, no one else can help you. But is that true to a full extent? I doubt so. The support from family and friends plays a very vital role too. It is the driving force, the power for the person to persevere, to hang on, to look ahead, to move forward.

I doubt anyone knows what the person is really feeling deep down inside. The person may be trying very hard, trying the very best to get out from the ordeal, just that we don't see it. The person may be feeling very down and very helpless deep inside. The person may just do some things to cover up his/her helplessness and vent out his/her anger. The anger arising from themselves, from not being able to walk out of the ordeal still.

I feel sad, really sad when I see the same things happening again and again. Undoubtedly, support from loved ones is very important. But I know what the person really need is TIME. Time to sort out the feelings. Time to think about the future. Time to pull oneself up. Time to convince oneself that it's not the end. Some things just cannot be rushed. But apparently many people just don't get this theory. Mutual understanding and care and concern is very important. Spare a thought and think about the person's feelings.

We always say "putting yourself in others' shoes", apparently it does not apply to all cases. Some things you just cannot understand and feel the pain and hurt unless you've been really through it. If you cannot understand, let actions speak instead.

I've always believe that time can heal all wounds. I still do. I'm looking forward to THE DAY.

2008-02-29T22:41:00.003+08:00

29 February 2008. A very special day. The once in 4 years leap year.

I was reading the papers this morning, then there was this report that said many people actually didn't think much about this special day. To many, today is just like any other normal fridays. Nothing special, nothing worth celebrating.

Then there was this other report that featured stories about 2 leap year babies. I dunno if I should be envious or feel sorry for them.

For them, they celebrate their birthdays once in 4 years, that is to say, they only grow older by a year for every 4 years that we've grown. Isn't it a good thing to remain young? Haven't people been talking about not wanting to be a grown-up?

On another note, it's actually quite a sad thing being born on Feb the 29th. Having to wait for 4 years to receive birthday cakes and birthday presents, 4 years of neck-long wait in exchange for only 24hours of special moments that belong to you. Seeing friends happily celebrating their special days every year while you can only wait for your turn to come few years later.

When i saw the news that a baby was born on this day, my first response was actually, "So ke lian." So I guess I feel more sorry for the leap year babies bah.

Wonder what will become of us when the next leap year come. Will we be slogging away in offices or will we be busy conducting research, trials and experiments in labs? Will we all start to have the professional look? Will we, instead of going k, be going pubs and bars etc for happy hours? Will everyone be so busy with their work that we don't have much time to meet up?

Eager to know what will become of me in the future, but not looking forward to it. I don't like growing up.

2008-02-17T13:38:00.004+08:00

I've finally started my 1st hip-hop dance class !!!
Wohoo~~

After being postponed for like more than a month, the hip-hop dance class that cuzzies and I had signed up for has finally commenced yesterday. Only XiaXia and I went since HuaHua and her fren were out of town. We felt so young in the hip-hop attire. Heex..

When we stepped into the dance studio, there was this very weird feeling that was hard to describe. The kind that you get everytime you step into a new tutorial room for your 1st lesson or sort. Anyway, to my surprise, there were many guys, but but but, all xiao di dis. Heex..

Looking at the whole you, from the top to the bottom, in the mirror seems kind of funny. Even though girls always look at themselves in the mirror everyday. Heex..Anyway, the class was fun =) Shall practise at home everyday in case I forget. Heex..Looking forward to the class next wk!

2008-02-15T22:21:00.003+08:00

CNY Day 2

We went to Ah Yi's house in the morning, ate and ate and ate, 'cause there was so much food at their place lor, and some are food that you don't usually find in others' houses during CNY. Although we are considered guests, we weren't treated like one. Haha..

After that, we headed off to the hawker near harbourfront centre for our lunch and gosh, we saw a super long queue of people queueing to take the bus to Sentosa lor. We were like, oh no, is the monorail down? Else how come so many people queueing for bus. We wanted to take the monorail to Sentosa, cause we've never taken it before. But by the time we finished our lunch and walked over to the monorail station to take the Sentosa Express (hope i got it right), the queue was again VERY long. Afraid that we will miss our movie, Papa called for a change of plan, Sentosa trip cancelled and we walked around Vivo instead. After which we went to grandparents' house for dinner and then movie.

Papa and Mummy wanted to watch Ah Long Pte Ltd so bro and I on also lor since Papa's paying. Heex..Read many reviews about this movie and they were mostly qt bad so I didn't have high hopes for this movie. After watching it, the only word to describe is: HILARIOUS. There's no storyline and quite lame actually but if u just want a good laugh, it's not bad. Those kind that you can laugh really loudly and even hit the arms of your seat, and since the theatre is lights-off, no one will know it's you who is so cu lu =P

CNY Day 3

The Hay's came over to my house in the morning and the three Missies plus their father were having fun playing with the hammies. XiaXia even wanted to take one home to rear, the idea which was strongly supported by my parents but to opposition from her Mum of cause. Heex..

We went to Lao Sim's, Da Gu's and her husband's mother's, Xiao Gu's houses after that. Then it was over to Ah Yi's house again! I was quite surprised that Papa suggested going over to Ah Yi's house for dinner. Anyway, we had lotsa fun there! Played the Big/Small game with bro, XiaXia and HuaHua and later their dad chipped in too after hearing us shouting and laughing so loudly and wildly. Haha..Super funny lor, we just anyhow placed our bets like nobody's money. Haha..Stayed over at their place and continued playing the Singapore version Monopoly. We gave up on The Game of Life, too chim for us le. We are more suited for games that don't require us to think so much. Haha..Cant believe I was the first to go bankrupt, thought it would be bro cause he had so few properties! Basically he took what was left over lah. Haha..

CNY Day 4

Uncle and Ah Yi gave me a ride home on their way to the market and after a shower and some preparations, I went to meet Hui Shi and Shuwen to go Daphne's house for a mj session. Heex..Haven't been playing for some years le, seems like the basics are still okie. Heex..Perhaps because Daphne's the host, she was the big winner of the day and the most poor thing was Hui Shi. After Shuwen left to meet her friends, the three of us played and she was the only one losing. Daphne and I never alliance to bully her wor. Haha..Had fun playing mj with them but on our way home, Hui Shi and I started to have our post-CNY depression syndrome le. Heex..

2008-02-13T23:18:00.015+08:00

It has been almost a week since Chinese New Year started. So fast! This year's Chinese New Year is quite different - Ah Ma's not around le and Gong Gong is no longer the always-laughing-and-talking-loudly man anymore. I miss the old days..

Alright, sad/bad things aside, since CNY is supposed to be a season of reunion and joy. Heex..Although we went to fewer relatives'/friends' houses this year, the four days were not that boring because we've lined up other programs for ourselves. Heex..

CNY Eve

As usual, we went to grandparents' house for reunion dinner and surprisingly, bro and I did not have to help lay out the cny goodies and change new sheets for the chairs. So basically, my job that day was to exercise my mouth. Heex..Shared a steamboat with lil cuzzies and their father and also parents and bro. I like the re nao and cosy feel, we helping one another to cook this and that and cracking jokes here and there. Learnt something new from lil cuzzie also, 原来 "lung 话" = "废(肺)话". Really take my hat off him. Haha..

CNY Day 1

We went temple with ah yi n cuzzies before heading to grandparents' house. Took many many photos and celebrated Popo's 70th 大寿 at their house also. We went AMK to offer joss sticks to maternal grandparents and we didn't stay long there since the house was like quite empty, no chairs for us to sit on even. Headed to Loyang Da Bo Gong where we each got a coin from this God of Fortune. Heex..To River HongBao next! I really felt as though we've landed ourselves in China lor. Anyway, fireworks at night was brilliant, different from past years. It would have been even better if not for some sucky people. But anw, Papa and bro have already took revenge for me le. Heex..

My Popo~~Smiling very happily =)

The ultimately cute and funny twins =)

Here comes the pretty models! *whistles*

The 2008 Version of The Beauties and The Beast =P

Lil cuzzie was shorter than me last yr but now, she's so much taller!

Cool sister and brother~~wohoo~~

I like this picture taken by the future renowned photographer XiaXia Hay. Difficult to see if this picture is a candid shot or purposely posed de shot right? Heex..

I love my Papa, Mummy, Xian Xian and myself! I love my family! =)

This was taken at the River HongBao, where they had this Thai wedding setting there for people to go take photos.
Since it's a wedding, of cuz must get the real married couple to take a picture! =)

2008-02-10T23:21:00.000+08:00

Feeling very moody and depressed right now. In a couple more minutes, the Chinese New Year holiday will be over soon. So fast..Only a few weeks ago were we happily shopping for our new year clothings, shoes, accessories, etc and pah, the break's gonna be over very soon. Few weeks ago, everyone was so in the holiday mood, so happily counting down to the first day of cny. Now that it's gonna be over, everything seems so boring again. Four days pass so fast. Too fast. Chinese New Year is just over like that. Got to wait for a year before the next cny comes again. I dread the post cny period; I dread getting down to serious work; I dread assignments; I dread mugging; I dread exams; I dread SCHOOL. Why does time fly so fast, especially the happy, relaxed and carefree moments. Why is it that the happy moments are always so short? Why is it that they only come after a very very long and torturous wait? I don't feel like going to sleep now although I feel very tired because I don't want the day to end. Once I close my eyes and open them again, I will have to face the dreadfulness of life again. I don't want, really don't feel like it. How I wish I can run away, find a place, a hole or whatever and hide myself in there. Don't have to face anything, don't have to do anything. Argh, I am feeling so unwell now. Will time stop for me? Will tomorrow really be better?

2008-01-26T23:41:00.000+08:00

I wonder how come some people so don't cherish their own lives. Last week on my way to the train station, this half naked guy suddenly ran past me and dashed across the busy street, ignorant to the bus that was approaching. That left me stunned for a moment. When he returned, I saw a soccer ball in his hand. The first thought that came into my mind, which I suppose almost all of you will too, was that this is a stupid fellow. Reason? Simple and straightforward-a ball or your life? Only a fool will choose the former over the latter.

On another instance, while I was on my way home, I saw this whole group of people, who were waiting at the traffic light, turning their heads towards the same direction. Beholding the unique local value of kpo-ism, I looked towards their direction. And I saw this young man trying to dash out of the main road while his 2 other friends were trying to hold him back. The about-to-dash and trying-to-grab-his-shirt-and-pull-him-back actions were repeated quite a few times, at least the whole while while I was waiting for the man to turn green. Quite a shock to me, witnessing these kind of 惊险 scenes twice a week. What is happening to people nowadays?

Anyway, bad things aside, went out with lil cousin today to shop for her top and my own stuffs and I am so happy because I have finally settled my cny stuffs today!!! wohoo~~Can comfortably wait for the day to come liao..Haha..But not that comfortably bah, cause still gotta do spring cleaning next week, which is gonna be very tiring! But the thought of the whole family working together naturally cuts down the unwillingness, torture and tire =) Looking forward to cny cause can rest, can wear new clothes, can eat many many many cny goodies! Wahaha..

2008-01-20T12:29:00.000+08:00

I went bugis with HuaHua yesterday and as usual, bought alot of things. Initially I only planned to accompany her shop but ended up buying with her also. Heex..Anyway, I bought a checked shirt/blouse that I super like! I am so super excited and happy!!! I've been wanting to get such a shirt for some time le, that was like ever since I saw my lao gong wearing it on tv and magazine. Heex..

don't they look alike? wahahah..we have a couple shirt!!! wahahah..

2008-01-12T23:23:00.000+08:00

Today, I brought lil cuzzie to bugis, since she wanted to get some cny clothings and the places that she always go with her parents don't have what she wants. She was so excited about the trip because it has been some time since I last brought her out. To her, it was also a time to fang si and eat whatever she likes and wants. So I let her try some new food and let her eat food that she likes but her parents seldom let her eat. Anyway, we bought a lot of stuffs at bugis village!!!
It has only been like a month or less since I last went bugis and I realised they've got so much new stuffs now! So much that I don't know which I should buy, because I like them all! Heex..In the end, spent all the money withdrawn today, which leaves me with nothing to spend on Monday le. But it feels good with "big bags small bags" at hand at the end of the day. Heex..

Lil cuzzie just called and said she liked the clothings bought at bugis just now. I can sense her happiness over the phone. Heex, lil kids are just so cute. Hope she had a good and fun day =)

Bro just came home and he scored victory on his shopping trip too! Wohoo~~

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

Yesterday, 2 mountain tortoises went to the gym for the first time in their lives. They went in, tried to figure out the instructions for each equipment by themselves until this guy, whom they presumed was the instructor, came to their "rescue". They tried the running track, the bicycle, the stepping up and down and some other weight lifting equipment. Letting out some sweat made them felt more refreshed too. And of cause, made worth the money. Heex..

After the eye-opening experience, they slowly walked to Chong Pang, hoping to savour some good food, only to find that the nice Western food stall was still not open for business. So they ordered some other food and as usual, ended up eating alot. Calories burnt through the 2-hour gym session has been easily "refilled" within that few minutes. Heex..Shall persevere and try to keep fit, as least till cny, so looking forward to more gym sessions and the hip-hop dance! =P

2008-01-04T11:45:00.000+08:00

After dragging for so long, I finally went to collect my prize won through a newspaper contest - the Show on Stage pictorial, yesterday. Super excited when the lady handed me the package, basically the book comes with a folder with 8 A4 size pictures of Show so it was in the form of a package. Heex..

The book!!!
Shuai shuai de lao gong =P
My bao bei =)

Backtracking a little, the previous week was kinda busy with many activities and outings/gatherings. On the first day of the new year 2008, I met up with my ex-colleagues. We went to minds and it was fun, I totally lost my image lah, shouted so loud till got a bit off pitch. Heex..It was great time hanging out with them. Hope to meet up with them soon.

A very blur me thought that the New Year Eve fireworks display at Marina was scheduled to start at 9pm so me, Swee Ling and a group of new friends, who are actually Swee Ling's CCA-mates, went to settle down at the fireworks area at 8plus, a little before 9. Then XiaXia msged me say she saw on ST it was at 12. By 9plus, still nothing so we concluded that XiaXia's news was right. We sat down there gossiping, hoping that a miracle will happen, that they will release some before 12 too. All I can say is miracles don't happen too often. So some of us left at 10plus and I went to CWP to join my parents in the countdown instead. Missed the fireworks at Marina, but managed to join my parents in the Woodlands countdown event, catching fireworks with them and being with them on the very first second of the brand new year, it was definitely worth it.

With Swee Ling and her friends..fun people =)

The day after Fish Leong's concert, 5 of us went to celebrate XiaXia's birthday. HuaHua suggested trying something new so we decided to be daring and and we went to a two-storeyed Egyptian restaurant at Haji Lane to try out. The ambience was not bad, kinda cozy, with all the lights being dimmed and only fans operating. The guy who served us was cute in the funny sense, very cordial, trying to explain to us what's on the menu and recommending to us how the food should be mixed and matched to taste nice. As for the food mah, hmmm, not bad lah, spicy type. It's a once in a lifetime experience, just once will do, if you get what I mean. Heex..

The interior of the restaurant..

The pretty ladies =P
With the waiter who served us..

Oops, did I forget to mention about my 1st experience in the kitchen, all alone, to whip up a dish? heex..

I went to ah yi's house on xmas, supposed to make a cheesecake with huahua de, cause the one I tried to make at home is not very nice, though it's still edible..the cheese portion was too hard le..heex..anw, cheesecake making session was postponed cause huahua couldn't get some of the ingredients..so we ended up making cookies and pasta instead..huahua took care of the cookies while I took care of the pasta..it was quite a mistake because I don't know how to start a stove/fire and quite 手忙脚乱 because there are so many things to take care of..gotta boil the penne, wash the veggie, cut the sausage and fishballs, rinse the penne with cold water, cook the sauce, blah blah blah..huahua and ah yi helped me out, else their kitchen will be turned upside down by me..heex..come to think of it, cooking is quite fun actually..minus the clearing ups and washings..heex..

anw, the end product was not bad, at least that was what I thought..色香味俱全,看了就想吃..even mummy who seldom eat pasta de cannot resist it and thinks it's very nice..heex..oh ya, I've learnt a lesson today also..that is, to make your pasta softer, you gotta rinse it with cold water after boiling it..isn't it amazing?!

Mummy's friend gave her two complimentary tickets to Fish Leong's Today is Our Valentine's Day concert so I went to catch it with Ting on Saturday and it was superb. Fish is really a very good singer, you will have goosebumps all over you when you listen to her 'live' performance. It was very touching also, very 感动, especially at the part when they played clips of people expressing their 爱的告白 to their loved ones.

She sang many many nice songs and in the end, the concert lasted for 3 hours. Even the encore was quite long. The guest for the concert was Mayday's Ah Xin and I thought he will sing like 2-3 songs but in the end, he sang only 1 and a half song, the half song being the one sang together with fish. He's also a very good and powerful singer, making me feel very gek again not being able to catch their concert in Singapore the previous time. On the whole it was a very good concert, whether in terms of visual and/or audio.

the stage before the start of the concert..

lao gong has come to visit me!!! wahahah..so i've been busy catching up with him these few days..heex..to keep our relationship low profile, i've decided to disguise myself as a fan with huahua to go catch him at j8 and ms..wah, sooooooooooo many people lor..the autograph session was supposed to start at 7pm but we heard people have already started queueing the day before..really pei fu them..huahua and i went to queue at 3plus after our lunch and shopping and we ended up very behind, cannot see my lao gong perform onstage lor..so sad..when it was our turn to get his autograph, it was already like 10plus, so super squeezy and niam niam..although we always get to meet up privately, im still very happy to get up so close to him and shake his hand again..heex..

besides catching up with lao gong, my pocket has burnt a very big hole these few days also..heex..simply cannot control, too many sales le! heex..ended up buying so many things..but i think they are necessities lah..heex..haven really go shop for cny clothings, although the main purpose of the shopping trips are supposed to be so..heex..decided to be a good gal and stay at home for the next few days..heex..

im happy because i've got u! =)

papa was supposed to go his cousin's wedding lunch with mummy today and brother and I decided to go shopping at marina square while waiting for parents to finish their lunch at the hotel..i was quite excited because haven been to ms for quite some time and was looking forward to a fruitful shopping trip..heex..but papa called me not long after we parted and asked us to go lunch with them since there were still vacant seats..so brother and i decided to go, save us a meal..heex..hmmm the lunch was quite okie lah, but the wedding flow was quite different from those that i've attended..yup..but anw, did shop for a while after the lunch with family and aunts because all those sales and discounts tags were really very tempting, i simply couldn't resist them..heex..it turned out to be frutiful after all..heex..

we went cwp after that and i met 2 ex-classmates..they haven really change, wanted to say hello to them but scared they cannot recognise me cuz of my dressings and make-ups so decided not to, else will be so super paiseh lor..heex..

looking forward to next week because LAO GONG IS COMING!!! to visit me of cuz..wahahahaha...woohoo~~~

cool~

finally got to shop with cuzzies today..finally can fang4 si4 and shop as much as i want..gals are really weird..when they shop and "clinched a deal", they will feel very happy cuz they've found and bought something that they like, at least at that very moment..but at the end of the shopping spree when they do a calculation, they will then realise that they've spent alot of money and start to feel that they got to live on bread and water for the next few days or maybe weeks..apparently, for the sake of beautiful clothings, shoes, bags, accessories etc, they are willing to do so..so females are actually quite impulsive mammals huh..heex..

anyway, went for a haircut at bugis too with cuzzies..initially only qt want to cut lah but xiaxia and i were tempted so we decided to cut also since wash+blow+cut+style only $16..i like the hair-stylist too, she's very nice..heex..had some brief chats with her and i realised being a hair-stylist is such a tough job..basically every job is tough bah, just that people who are not in that arena don't get to see and understand the ugly and dark side of it..

happy happy because it was a fruitful trip, minus the heartaches =)

the talkative gal has become quieter and less active these two days because she is sick..she has lost her original naturally sweet and soothing voice..=P her voice has become softer and sexier now and to some people, it may be a good thing cuz their ears can finally rest now..heex..but anw, people around her should be used to it le bah cuz she always experience "voice loss"..they'll get to hear a sexy voice at least twice a year..geex..guess it's because she does not have enough sleep that's why sick bah..considering the amount of workload that they have now, it's understandable lah..just hope everything will be over soon..

anw, today is the last day of school for most of us since there are no tutorials on friday..so, my sweet but naughty clique friends celebrated daphne and my birthdays today..we got a cake each, 1 chocolate and 1 blueberry cheese..yummies *slurps slurps* reminds mi of last year, when we had a similar celebration too..last year was still in honeymoon mode, so carefree but at the blink of an eye, one year has passed..the same people same situation but something's just so different now..but nontheless, i very greatly appreciate their thoughtfulness and efforts in planning this whole thing while keeping daphne and i in the dark..thank you so much girls! =) lets all jiayou for the upcoming exams! everything will be over soon and we can go have fun again! =)

counting down..7 days..

1 thing to be worth happy about this week is that the hot and torturous lab sessions have finally ended..considered a good ending for me bah because i have finally managed to get a decent product after failing for so many weeks, having to settle for meager stuf..heex..shall take this chance to express my greatest gratitude and thanks to the many many people who have helped me out for the past 11 weeks, whether it's "little act" of folding filter papers or "big act" of setting up the apparatus and guiding me along..thank you so much people, you all have made my lab smoother and less stressful..i can imagine how the situation would be like if not for you all..i'll probably be heading no where, keep doing the wrong things, breaking this and that, kana scolded all the time bah..anyway, all in all, i just want to express my biggest thank you to all these people and i'll keep in mind your kind acts de..one day, perhaps next sem, when u need my help, i'll be dere for you de..who knows..heex..

anw, i reli hope dat huahua enjoyed herself, even if it is juz for dat lil while..hope dat i've managed to make her feel a lil better..=)

2007-09-13T22:45:00.000+08:00

aft every lab session, i always felt dat my stupidity has gone up by one lvl..it's so depressin n demoralizin..i've tried, reli tried, but sumtimes sum habits n stuf u juz cant change within such a short time..im learnin to b less absent-minded, more indpt, less clumpsy n more efficient..tryin to learn hw to operate da machines n stuf, nt botherin/troublin pple all da time..dat kind of helplessness, dun-even-noe-simple-stuf/exptal technique, noe-nuts-abt-operating-a-machine de feelin is reli nt gd..like im so useless lidat....

as usual, my aim was to jog for at least half an hr so was joggin n joggin, consistently, since i was feelin okie, nt beri tired..den mummy came to da park wif bro to meet mi for dinner at a nearby neighbourhood centre..aft i finished my jog, i felt beri bad..or shld i sae, beri x10 bad..my chest n head were beri heavy, as though dere's tis big object stucked dere, cant move at all..den my vision became beri blur, i was so tired, i juz wished i cld close my eyes n slp..da whole body was feelin so wrong..

心蕾兴高采烈地想要去找秦朗告诉他她不和尚东结婚了，她要和秦朗一起回台湾，一起住在烂房子里，一起做蛤仔煎，一起画画，这样一直吵吵闹闹地过生活。这时候的秦朗正在街头的一堵墙上作画，两个人各在街角的一边，仿佛感受到彼此的存在。两人缓缓地前进，转过身，看到的正是彼此心里思念的人！心中百感交集的两人拥抱在一起，一切尽在不言中。从此以后，两人在台湾的那烂房子度过吵吵闹闹但又幸福美满的日子。

dunno wat's wrong wif mi these 2 days, been beri blur, 2 incidents happened la, shall write down wat happened here to remind myself nt 2 b so blur agn..

Blurry Incident #1

ytd was my 2nd wk of work but it's like oni da 4th time im takin da company transport back to wdls aft work..da 1st two times i did ask pple which bus goes to wdls la in case i take wrongly den da 3rd occasion i saw sum1 frm wdls board dat bus so i juz followed lor n i was rite la..apparently my luck din last long..coincidently, on all da previous occasions, da bus was parked at da last bay, furthest frm da gate, so i 理所当然的juz walk straight 2 da bus dat was furthest away n boarded it, beri confident dat it was da wdls bus..dere's tis chi sayin 聪明反被聪明误, i tink it's qt true in tis case bah..so i happily board da bus, tinkin of my cousy hm which is juz a mere 15min trip away..aft sum time da bus stopped at marsiling n i sensed sth was wrong le but i tot, aiyah, da bus muz b doin a detour la, aft tis stop it'll go 2 wdls liao..but no lor, it went in da expressway direction n da more it went da more uneasy i felt, was tinkin, oh no, where is da bus bringin mi to..den when da bus stopped at cck, i immed alighted..was so embarrassed lor..n mummy called mi while i was on da bus summore, askin where i was, i dun even dare to tell her lor, so paiseh la, if pple heard mi dey sure wil laugh their heads off one lor..so in d end a supposedly 15min trip took more than 30min n i arrived hm at 7plus..
moral of the story: always ask be4 u board a bus, dun act smart =P

Blurry Incident #2

tis mornin i went to da usual place 2 wait for da bus 2 shuttle us 2 work..n i assumingly tot dat da company bus wil always b dat same comfort bus..so i was waitn dere readin my novel den suddenli tis gal tapped mi on my shoulder told mi da bus was dere alrdy n we hurriedly ran 2 da bus n boared it..da driver changed his bus tdy lor, it wasnt da bus dat i've been takin every mornin since day1 la..n da ironic thing was while i was readin i did look up 2 look in case i missed da bus n i saw dat bus de lor but i juz ignored it la, hw in da world wld i noe dat was actuali da company bus too..
moral of the story: pay more attention to ur surroundings, dun assume

i muz reli thank dat gal, otherwise i wld be standin at da same place, waitin n waitin 4 da bus 2 cum..she's frm lvl2 la n actuali we've seen each other a couple of times le but nv reli tok 2 each other, juz hi oni..but i tink she's a nicee gal..n she's gonna b my junior! heex, it's such a smal world hor =)

Complicated~~

2007-05-20T18:14:00.000+08:00

dere r like so mani feelings n emotions inside mi, so much so dat i dunno hw 2 "organize" them to make myself feel better..been tinkin abt mani things these 2 days, kinda insignificant things but jiu dunno why those stuf juz came to mi lor..n i tink im sum1 whu tinks qt alot n wil tink beri far bah..yup..so it's nt a bad thing afterall if pple sae u r simple-minded..hw i wish sum1 can tell mi hw i can erase those tots away frm my brain, my mind, my memory..

2007-05-15T19:38:00.000+08:00

but aft we came back frm lunch, boom, lotsa work..i was 2 help tis colleague find docs n photocopy relevant info for her n den arrange them properly for her la..she gave mi tis N-pg of doc dat contains all da hardcopies dat im supposed to find..wah, headache lor..dere were so mani pg lar, i dun even noe if i can complete them by tml..hafta first find out da doc ref no. first, den look 4 da files/docs, photocopy, arrange nicely..qt similar 2 wat i did in exportdoc last time but more tedious tis time rd..dey kept mi occupied til 5.30pm n it was when da auntie beside mi reminded mi dat it was time 2 fang gong den i realised time has passed by so quickly..gosh, so mani things left undone la..guess tml muz buck up liao..dun wan pple 2 sae i lazy, nt diligent..n i tink more things wil cum cuz i heard my super tellin sum1 dat nxt wk i'll b learnin dunno wat things frm another gal whom i dun even noe whu she is, she wasnt in da grp of pple dat my super intro mi 2 tis mornin..2 mths shld b easy 2 pass bah, since i can take dat 6mths in moto le, why nt tis rite..yup, muz persevere!
