2007-02-20T15:26:00.000+08:00

been in a lil hibernation mode trying to gear up for the upcoming exams

without much luck since the ibm paper where straight after that we headed down to prata house for a long overdue prata session!

with these people, you gotta have the night all planned out or else you would spend an hour by the railings (acting gangstaaa) and end up not coming up with any feasible plan so we all head home, satisfied nonetheless.

then came valentines day,

a very unplanned night, which saw me calling 5 different restaurants at holland village to find a place for five

landed with a place we weren't all that hyped about but we cant be choosers when we start making plans at 4+ right, and its really the company that matters above all, so it was the five oily monks at my house for a pre dinner romantic movie that had the cheesiest romantic lines, crystal jade la mian, people watching/laughing, gorging ourselves, and our fav, supermarket shopping esp with MUMMY LOUIE (hah i think shes gonna kill me!) who buys for you anything you want!

random dinner with hanyuan lester rubin christhoo alicia @ danryans

going crazy over their muffins and really juicy mushrooms

appetizers was great stuff but cant say the same for their mains

haagen dazs after

1 word, STUFFED.

reunion dinner with the people at home,

and then a trip down to video ezy to prep for our movie marathon

1st day of CNY was to mass, then gma's house where i finally learnt how to play MAHJONGG!!

so i played mahjong for 5 hrs until dinner cant believe i didnt learn to play it earlier its like HOW funnn!

day #2 was filled with guests then we continued with more dvds

later alicia hwee cheeweng snowball dropped by for a visit and a round of mahjong

we ended up playing more of the aeroplane game, watching dvds & eating delivered macs till 6 am before they drove back home

hwee was the terrorist, alicia ms convoy, chweng mr dice stealer, me ms babysteps, josh snowy

heh real funny night with lines like "immortality! take it, its yours!"

happy chinese new year all!

2007-01-30T23:31:00.000+08:00

last fri and sat were fantastic night out with the girls
i would say friday was spontaneous and saturday exotic
so friday was quite an adventure
after my last econs lessons i joined my cousin during her lunch break just for a little meet up cos i psed her on thurs
then lazed at home for awhile before heading down to nus to pick up christine for dinner
so we went to fisherman's wharf but was caught in the usual keppel peak period jam cos christine said that fisherman's wharf was in the cbd area
anyway we mapped our way thru the rain and traffic while taking many photos at red lights
when we got there and ordered we realised that we didnt have enuff cash and they had no other form of payment
so christine offered to go to an atm which was rather far and on her way back she got caught in the rain
we took a drive down to the east side visited some place near siglap
then my dad calls to tell me that he missed his flight so he was gonna be much later than expected, so we stopped by a deserted lane thinking of where to go next
considering we were really full and had no more room for dessert, we did not have many options
turns out christine's sis had a hotel room at changi village hotel so we decided to head there since we had so much time
we missed the turning for changi village 2 times, and when we finally got on the right path we got distracted with the planes taking off and landing that we made pit stops to take photos, planes watch and just enjoy the breeze
boy i made so many illegal u turns and stops at "no stopping zones"
so we ended up not going to changi village and just when i was about to send christine home, we were around jac's house
called jac to warn her that we were about to invade.. slumped around her house chewing on her very hard cookie and burning the cd that christine was sick of cos it was playing over and over again thruout our 5 hr ride
my dad called again that he was about to arrive so i sent christine home and then rushed down to the airport to get him

saturday was an amies night to celebrate jes's birthday!
alittle farrerpark/little india mix up to start of the night
northern indian food @ delhi restaurant
garlands for the birthday girl and poodus to go around, though the rest werent quite enthusiatic about it
walked thru little india in search of an atm(AGAIN.. we should all really carry more cash)
then a drive down to the tea party where we drank tea DUHH.. and floats and played cluedo
i wanna buy a cluedo set! its really funnn, all of us being such noobs at it but still taking down notes as if we knew what we were doing! we cheated at the last part though!
so details to the murder was mrs peacock, wrench & the billard room

2007-01-29T22:15:00.000+08:00

while helping my godma to put together a photo slide show,

i came across this photo of us together

i love looking back at baby/childhood photos!

for some weird reason i remind myself of casper back then..hmm..

and omg look at those high waisted pantsss! so uncool!

2007-01-27T11:57:00.000+08:00

suspects, weapons & rooms

mr. green

2007-01-25T00:49:00.000+08:00

yay the card arrived,
which means unlimited spending!.. ok or maybe not
anyway came at the right time when i'm ultimately dead broke
and in a desperate search for grey skinnys

the word ultimately reminds me of my meeting with "the ultimate" while studying at one of the study benches today
the nickname the ultimate is so so apt

lately discussion rooms have been the talk of the town, now that exams are around the corner
but i think i'll stick to my secret studying in any empty lt i can find
cos its so much more spacious and much easier to breathe than one of those tiny boxy discussion rooms

i'm such the multitasker
i'm watching gilmore girls, the oc and blogging at the same time!

no school tomorrow so hopefully i can cover some econs
and i've rearranged my playlist so i have over 100 emo songs to do stats with
weeekend stats time

i'm loving the units i take;
econs is teaching me to spend more money for the greater good of the economy
and soci is teaching me to go out there to make more friends and broaden my network
i like what i hear

i finally watched night at the museum last week
after a month of cancelled plans and bad timings
i like the 2 tiny dudes- jed and octavius
they are such a hilarious pair

and

on a very rainy sat was fun stuff, with a good mix of family bands, cliche games, misleading auctions and para para dance songs
cept that my very very traumatised eye(from an eye infection) was bugging me all night
by 5am i thot my eyes were gonna burst!
it wasn't supposed to be such a long night but 1 thing led to another and next thing i know, the sun was about to rise

so daphne wanted pink, and pink we gave her!

stops: hilton hotel;some brewery place at boat quay;tauhuey at geylang

2007-01-20T17:47:00.000+08:00

just waiting for the rain to stop so i can get to

its gonna be a pink affair!

2007-01-17T21:38:00.000+08:00

wednesdays are always niceee :)

today i finally met with my cousin down from aust
and we shopped like there was no tomorrow, too bad i was low on the dough
so many, many, mental notes of to-gets
but the entire time i was out i was feeling all guilty for wasting a whole afternoon
when i should actually be catching up with IBM, hell mock exams are 2nd week of feb... hais
i gotta bring her to bugis st soon also
shit cousins should only come down during the holssss!

i should really get down to studying but there's ami now...

2007-01-11T00:31:00.000+08:00

a nice mid-week chillout with tar today
a spontaneous sms was sent to meet up today at holland village
and about an hour later came richard but msficklepants was later cos well, she was being fickle
while waiting for Ms FP, i ended up with an impulse buy, richard was supposed to be the one shopping not me!
then we bought takeaway and had a simple candlelight dinner at my house
where we yaked our hearts out
not forgetting our little trek through mud with our takeaway and stooping low behind the bushes spying

a beautiful life indeed; keyporch huh chard ; crazy flashes in F.A.J

2007-01-07T00:46:00.000+08:00

i just realised i missed not only a amies cycling outing on friday, i missed a kc visit tooo
I'M DISTRAUGHT
damn school, damn econs
not only that they even saw pictures of them/us/ourclass -i'm not sure what- around the school
i miss kc and i miss the east and i miss cj too- i wanna go back to all that
i think why i miss kc so much is that it was so simple
like life and everything was just the way it was
the wholesomeness of it all made me not mind spending my entire day at school
doing nonsensical stuff like crushing paper in an attempt to make our walls at the back of our class look like it was made of bricks filled with grafitti
we could do lameass stuff like sing chinese songs with our "cool" props and be considered winners
we actually prepared for phototaking day
we cheered our lungs out and painted banner after banners for sports day
we crawled out of classrooms during boring geog lessons
we had waterfights in the toilets
we took pride in putting up chinese new year decorations
we had a cool lit teacher that came up with hilarious stuff like "romantic darkness"
we had something to be proud about and felt like we belonged to something special

i think they call it spirit, we just don't do those things anymore
everything is such a ratrace and people just come and go
its sad

i want to go on and list all the things i miss bout cj/the east but i think i'll stop here cos emomonster has taken over. heh

i should be banned from listening to jay chou songs

Night Jaunt in pictures

28-29/12/06

pre event

took my first lorry ride.. hell i was literally rolling at the back with byron

ganesh did a good job driving it minus the stalling on a slope

a last minute recee in geylang all four i/cs byron joshua me and ganesh

a visit to video ezy to rent a movie for our movie screening

and then it was registration time!

first part of the event,

our very own dual screen screening of SHUTTER

boy, was i freaked out

it brought the evening to a whole new level

the whole group setting off for our night jaunt

the very noisy and unruly bus ride

first food stop : the rotiprata house :)

where all 80 of us swarmed the already very packed prata house and chomped down prata

then it was off for our 3 hour ghost tour

at various locations in the west

the first few were kinda anticlimax

but the baby corpse dumping ground and CCK cemetary had its level of spookiness i think it had something to do with all the alters, statues and tombstones

then again, when u go looking for such things in a grp of 80 i guess they just don't show themselves..

then our final stop,

some 24 hr tau huey place at geylangggg

tauhuey and you char kueh never tasted so good

i think it was the company

our end point,

ECP
love east coast so early in the morning

the air was cool and fresh

we were early for the sunrise so we hung around the macs playground for abit

lionel; the walkie-talkie i had a love-hate relationship with all night;

sunshinel; pretend orbs

the 3 stooges,chris,hanyuan,rubin;we love lorry rides;bedok jetty @5am

the view @ 7am; guys making a promise; THE COM

the first day of '07 was spent like this

TAR

A&R spending a bomb@ the pull n bear sale; lost in the carpark

kolo mee dinner

waiting for ms shopping queen to be done; h2h over b&j; napkin resolutions

happy'07 but i already miss christmas ..heh

and today, amies outing

our usual cartel lunch

and pretty present receiving from chris

love those customised framed up collages

the rest watched the curse of the golden flower but py and i went searching for '07 organisers instead

but the whole of singapore is filled with plain ol' boring ones..Zzz

i'm trying to watch grey's anatomy but the rain is getting too loud

but its ok cos i'm having a damn fun msn & friendster session with ferls and alicia, at the same time robbing louie off all her jay CHOW (according to chrissy) songs

2007-01-03T02:05:00.000+08:00

2006-12-30T23:14:00.000+08:00

continuing from the previous post,

the party on the 23rd had more drama then anyone asked for

great company and all though

and that dude who was looking so fineee

the drama started with a flowerpot then some shoving then climbing over walls then everyone started scraming and in the process of all that some guy hit fat ass joe on the side which was totally uncalled for

just guess who's house we were in;fatassjoe&us;the company

barely got any sleep that night so slept in most of christmas eve only waking up to the christmas music and dinner and had a chillout stay in christmas with the family with love actually on tv

no matter how many times i watch that show i still go awwwww at this part

woke up early on christmas day for mass at st ignatius

didnt quite like it there.. it barely felt churchy not to mention christmasy

it felt like a childcare with children screaming and running around like its the zooo

it seemed like everyone in farrer road area was reproducing like there was no tomorrow

i never saw so many little kids in a church before

dont get me wrong i like kids and all but screamy restless spoilt ones just dont make my day

went to my gma's house for the family lunch gathering and we the older cousins had a ball of a time playing bingo with one of my kid cousin's automatic bingo machine.. we lost alot of her numbered balls though.. they kept rolling all round the place

east side visting to get a new tv to replace the one that shortfused while i was watching some jessica biel christmas movie

later in the night drove down to jurong point to meet the cousins again for the holiday

ended after midnight and we went back into the mall to get to the car but in the process we got locked in the mall! we were running around like mad pple in an empty mall.. it was quite an experience! later we got help from a security guard and he led us out by that time it was 1 plus

in a deserted jurong point

overslept on boxing day and was 1 hr late for a meeting with the night jaunt pple

when i got to town in a CAB AND IN THE RAIN AND THE JAM they were already done : /

postponed opening of presents later in the evening, and because on top of my xmas wishlist this year was the toyota RAV, my aunt got me this

though this wont be getting me anywhere,

i think this tops all the other presents this year!

was supposed to go to the prata house later that night to do further night jaunt planning but it was pouring and we didnt want to get caught in any flash floods so we took a raincheck (heh, pun)

wed was a house visting day

first up went to christines house.. ugghh hate those damn hdb multistorey carparksssss

i hit fatassjoe's spoiler against this drop ceiling thing while parking.. thank goodness my dad was tipsy when he came back and when i gave him the news he just laughed

anyway i got to spend the afternoon with amelynnnn.. she has the most beautiful eyes and the cutest cheeks

her cheeky smile; and her angry face

got alittle carried away playing with her; was late to get to ferly's house for dinner

anyway our night, amies style

meat balls and chicken wing and some fun shopping on thursday!

then seeing tiff and marilyn off at the airport in the evening

emanuel;julia;marilyn;tiff;lydia;me;lester

i just love the holidays! more about night jaunt next time! enjoy the last of two-o-o-six!

and as taka puts it,

live well, laugh often, love always

xo.

2006-12-23T15:08:00.000+08:00

the 19th was the last day of sch for me before the christmas/new year break

and it was also the day i was caught in the horrid rain that when on for 2 days when i went to visit mama-san with chocolate (too bad she wasnt there though)

what a wasted trip.. orchard was 1 big mess that day

wednesday was mani-pedi day and leon's belated bday lunch

i think mehmeh boy looks very cute in the last photo.. and it wasnt even posed (or maybe it has something to do with that polo he was wearing!- it was a present from us! heh)

the night was spent at kopitiam, fat ass joe and timber with the girls
its amusing how much fun we get out of taking photos in the car

i like that picture with jac and ferls in it cos it was damn cooly taken!

like our cars were side by side at the red light and chris from my car snapped a picture of them in the next car!

thursday was the sim-uol bash @ mos
it was really fun at the start of things with the pageant and all!
i tell u ms sim is super hot la

i dont have a decent up close photo of her cos i came late and got a damn bad side spot

but try to see from this photo.. i mean just look at her legs ! or if you still cant tell just take my word for it!

as it got later more ppl left- i'm thinking cos of the music

and we started getting bored so we were hanging around outside for quite abit and went to check out this new place called clinic! its a damn nice place with rooms with names like insanity and with peanut trays looking like this ..

later tim called and asked me lionel and ali to join him & others for supper

it was a timely invite anyway cos we were wondering what to do till 6 am

so it was off to some prata for rainbow meegoreng:)

and listening to hiphop songs that we wanted to hear at mos but didnt play, in adriel's car waiting for tim to get home

and later till sunrise! walking back in those heels for the 12th hour was a killer

it felt wierd, my thursday was damn long but my friday passed really fast, starting only @ 3pm

i think i would have slept in longer if not for the errands i had to run for the party later in the evening

11 cousins but we were still missing 4 more that were left behind in aust

we played this damn fun neverending gift exchange game called evil santa or something along those lines

its like u can steal pples gift and all

we went on playing for about an hr until my dad gave in and ended the game by settling for the ferro rocher chocs

2006-12-16T01:33:00.000+08:00

guess whattt my favourite dress got totally ruined in the wash.. ruined as in can never ever wear again kind of ruined.. the rain came, the clothes were in contact with each other, the colour of this got on to that while it was wet.. and the dress is history

this week sure aint my week :(

today was a day of celebration

chard crashed sch today and he was earlier than me for classs heh
he found the concept of snack break damn funny and made a big fuss bout it
and he's the worst crasher ever laaa.. he laffs damn loudly during lecture and he answers qns that the lecturer asks

hung around school for awhile and gave leon his birthday gift.. i swear i'm damn bad at sizes for people! this is not the first time .. just few weeks back i had to change the few tops i got my dad for his birthday.. like out of the 3 tops i got him all 3 were too smalll.. but at least leon got his hairband he can finally start his hairband look

went to amici for lunch in honour of angie's birthday
4-way goss-sesh over food.. way fun
2 words from the birthday girl, BANG BANG *smiles*

polo changing and lulling away at the steps

then i did 1 hr of study then went around with my parents to run errands at queensway and ikea

picked alicia up from her church and we headed to tims birthday party
it was a long straight route but when we got to the estate area i got alittle confused with "ave" and "view" i honked at the wrong house.. alicia's fault.. she loves horning .. the people of that house came out and gave us weird looks.. got to the party but the party had a really wierd mix of people but i guess u gotta give it to tim he like settled the food and cake and all by himself.. the poor boy had to set up his own cake, candles, and request a song to be sung and photos to be taken.. we entertained ourselves for abit and left after the cake and went to meet hweee since we were in the hood

i should sleep early, i want to accomplish the world tomorrow!
first thing is to actually visit the doctor to get some cream.. been putting it off a week
hopefully it would be sunny so i can go swim for abit
then finish reading ibm 3.1 , do stats and econs work and come up with a decent IBM essay
gotta call up the participants for nightjaunt tooo

and ohh i wanna pierce my ear.. as in THROUGH my ear.. i think they call it the ear conch or something

2006-12-14T14:35:00.000+08:00

tweaked and DF thats the 2 words i'm gonna use

tuesday was a hell of a long day
and i've been soooo tired lately like its prolonged fatigue from the weekend wedding or something
so tuesday was just baddd
people were irritating and tweaky, lessons were exceptionally long
i spread my tweakiness to alicia too
later part of our 11 hr sch we had to be ghosts to promote some event we're planning , a ghost tour thing- Night Jaunt its called
the whole idea was awesome at first like during the planning stage
but later when as wepictured ourselves doing it we were so blahed out that it would be dumb
so that added to the tweakiness of the day
skittles and maoam couldnt help much
the whole ghost thing turned out well , it was well received by the crowd, pple shrieked and scream so we achieved our aim
and the whole ghost tour thing is kinda all booked up already so thats one up for the day

then because we had to use heavy eyeliner and white white powder for the lil performance thing i had to borrow my mums eye make up remover.. she made a big fuss about it cos its expensive and what not and she told me to take care of it
and guess what i did.. through the reindeer nose ,santa hat, reindeer horns? wearing and phototaking and buffet i left it on the table and forgot to bring it home - this is where DF comes in
so when i came home my mum went on and on about responsibility to a point i was soooo tweaked i drove alll the way back to sch at 930pm to look for it.. and it wasnt there .. so it was a totally wasted trip
that was tuesday

wed was not as bad as tuesday cos shopping was involved but it had its level of tweakinesss
i went shopping from 11-10 looking for about 14 presents (incl. xmas & birthday presents)
and i'm proud to say i got 13 out of the 14 in just one day.. christmas shopping this year has to be a record i usually take 3-4 days to look for presents
i'm still clueless what to get for my dad though
anyway that was the good part but in that 11 hours i was faced with rain, DF sales pple, DF drivers ( this taxi dude just like CHIONGED his way thru and both our cars were just 2 inches apart), and damn bad miscommunication over the phone with my maid , and ended up waiting for her for an hr at lucky plaza..

today i'm just doing my normal thursday routine, waiting for it to rain and receiving the msg "no tennis due to bad weather" from my coach.. i have been doing this for about 2 months

i'm so glad i'm kinda done with my shopping cos if possible i dont ever wanna go shopping at least for these 2 weeks cos my schedule is booked to the brim with this and that going on.. like this fri i'm doing million and 1 things and there are so many birthdays this period its starting to get stressful AAANNDDD i havent opened my notes in ages , i'm so far behind, whats more i need to bring the cousins who are down from australia for budget shopping at bugis and FOS on sunday. i have NOOO time : ( good thing holidays are starting soon, in less than a week.. yay for that!

oh and the wedding was great , it was the most disorganised wedding ever.. i was so stressed at the reception cos i was doing the seating arrangement thing and the sheet of paper they gave me can hardly be considered a seating plan so it was definitely messy but after all the guest were seated we had good laidback fun and i never realised how musically inclined my dads side of the family is they can actually form a band.. they are like the vontrapp family (from sound of music).. i though, have nothing to offer! heh

ok the msg came! no tennis, off to do something more productive!

i think this photo is damn funny

after all the hype about boost from ferls and jac since last year,

and the long awaited opening of this aussie drink at vivo,

we finally got to try it on wed

but look at them,

we have chris with a very troubled expression on her face, talking to py

jac, scratching her arm , all confused

louie with a very passionate arm gesture

and mind you, they were ALL discussing about which flavour to get!

i also like to think that teresa was discussing over the phone which flavour to get (but she wasnt)

and happy feet was great
i love the amigos!

they should just make a movie based on them

it'll be a whole load of laffs

2006-12-02T14:58:00.000+08:00

hah kidding

2006-08-12T00:16:00.000+08:00

i had one of the best days since school started
well nothing special really, just retro hairband friday they called it
and i didnt let the 6 hrs of classes stop me from having my fun
a very productive day with lots of learning involved
i remember drawing lots and lots of graphs, its like the only thing they're interested in
and we realised that we were making great progress into geekdom when we found ourselves finishing up math qns in an already empty lecture theatre
the 1.5 hr break time spent in our very own "marche"- like cafe was spent on our favourite hobby -people watching and laughing our heads of in front of the drinks counter that the lady told us "to order first then go sit down and laugh". then came the mochacinospinno nonsense. heh crazeee stuff
afterschool special for the day was peanut butter and condense milk toast and fried mars bars, ok let me admit, it was my first time trying it and its to-die-for, i know i'm way behind but whenever someone told me to try fried mars bars i'm like "yehhhh nice try"
then some unsuccessful bargain hunting and photo printing followed after
triple date dinner with lots of mussel talk,straight-through-the-heart moments and sideline kittyklubklan dissing. hah what a great bunch
ugghh only no photos no photossss! such a wasteeee bahh

so most part of national day was spent under the fairly hot sun loosening the soil in the tiny patch of grass we call our garden, why we had to do it? cos my father thot it would be fun doing gardening together so we dug and dug with such small spades that could easily be mistaken for those kids use to make sandcastles. but we persevered killing earthworms and centipedes along the way. the next day we visited the nusery to get materials to self-turf our grass patch and my dad realised the further amount of work that had to be put in, he gave in and hired help! which means i really wasted my whole national day! but tonight i came back to a beautiful professionally done up garden, and i found myself so happy and smiling like some idiot at that garden. i can finally say my house is completed! oh gawd i am happy with the most simplest things la. this is what we call cheap thrill.

time to crash and wake up to another weekend of birthday celebrations! ( hah its like birthdays non-stop!)

it was soo much more fun than i expected it to be!

my group TBB which stands for a whole lot of things was damn on with all the hardcoreness and very random cheering konichi kok kok konichi bom bom. we played damn yucky games like rolling in mud in the rain, catching black chickens for 100 pts and some game involving alot of saliva. boy, it was fun. human foosball was the best though! and the guys were super nice sacrificing their mattresses us for us and making us each a milo in the morn.. now everyone go AAWWWW...we entertained ourselves during our free and easy nights with This or That, SE!, and card games i can hardly keep up with like the stupid theme game and the last night was no sleep+ alot of alcohol+outrageous dares+card games+red blood shot eyed ppl all sprawled on the floor.we won overall best group!

22 july! THE BIG BASHHH

it started in town for lunch where i was supposed to hear some announcement, which was a bit of a spoiler cos i missed it, and so they had to repeat it but anyway lunch @ dome!

i was the queeennnn. the damnn delicious bakerzinn choc cake. bags and bags of presents & my guests!

then i had to rush to the 2nd part planned by amies, thank god for my father who was such a willing chauffer that day

bbq at a suppossedly secret location which the taxi driver conveniently leaked out.. hah it happened last year too. flat and pointed party hats. very nicely coloured banner by py. jes's fruit salad, that she worked hard to promote. wonderful presents. jon who brought the cake. and some very beautiful some very crazy shots.
after that, rushing home in a cab before midnight to cut the family birthday cake! i felt like cinderella for those few minutes! i reached home at 1148 !

24 july! driving test day!

a big PHEWWWW cos i passsed. and i gotta say i hate taking passport photos. they alwayyysss turn out somewhat wrong.

not hesitating to put up my p plate!

after that, og dinner at crystal jade and indian poker and hilarious dares in the middle of cine..

26-27 july!
where the amies stayed over! we had a great homecooked dinner+ gourmet chef-made choc cake, my first night drive since passing, alittle no where to go @ 1230, late night supermarket shopping and dvd watching till the wee hours. louie chris and i were the sole survivors mannnn the rest of you are lousy especially jac! hah

28 july!
richard came to my house with

and we spent a good part of the day doing up alicia's present.

right after, i had to rush down to the riverside indonesian restaurant for a dinner buffet with the tennis pple . we later spent 1.5 hrs hanging around clarke quay thinking of after dinner plans and after going thru like a dozen suggestions, we finally ended up at ben & jerry's at cathay

29 july!

a not-so-sunny day at the beach! (dont be fooled by the photos! it was damn cloudy!) in honour of alicia's and christine's up coming birthdays. we had dinner at Samundar an indian restaurant with great ambience (they played lovely jazz music), service and not forgetting food. whoa their naan was WHOAAAA. too bad i missed out on photos from the dinner cos my camera acted up and refused to work!

31 july!

surprised alicia with balloons, a "birthday girl" headpiece and prata on her first day of school with some kidnapping with the help of tim our pro driver!

1 aug!

we dropped by smu to visit chard at camp and we had a mini alicia's birthday final present viewing! oh and i drove solo to pick my mum at her office and my dad at some bus terminal ! driving was not much of a problem but i was a little unfamiliar with the route so i was damn happy when i made it there!

so other than that i've been driving round alot and making my dad damn impatient when i park! what to do? i die die cannot park without those stupid 4 poles! but i improved alittle over the past 3 days..
schools been good i guess! many familiar faces,alot of nickname giving and people watching and i drove myself to school for the first time today!
and since school's started, there wont be too many photo moments, i decided to send my cam for repair.. in the meantime i'm eagerly waiting its return!

yay to another weekend of birthday celebrating!

2006-07-30T21:04:00.000+08:00

happy birthday kwekerz! <3

2006-07-24T01:12:00.000+08:00

2006-07-15T23:32:00.000+08:00

while making reservations for day 2 into the 7-day birthday celebrations,

dad: can i make a reservation for 7 people, tomorrow at 12
a: yes, can i have your contact number
dad: 9********, and oh yes are dogs allowed?
a:dog? big or not?
dad: no la , very small one, just a puppy poodle, small like chihuahua
a: ok can but you got to sit outside
dad: ok no problem.

we were laughing so hard in the background, cos the restaurant people will get a shock tomoro when they see that the "small puppy poodle" is actually this big thing

heh, it'll be fun

2006-07-06T19:47:00.000+08:00

okay so since where i left off,

21 June

the four of us supporting chris at her netball match
it was such a shame they lost by just 2 measly points
but it was still a blast dissing the opponents off by the very low "OEIII"s and the very loud encouragements for Rage
there was one point where i actually thot the opposing team was gonna come tell us off!

the next day, it was our bi-annual Mng sale
but this time it didnt get to the extent of me waking up at 7 and heading down to the mango stores at 8
waking up at such unearthly times in the morning just seem so impossible right now..

though we started off later and went to much fewer mangos' i bought a whole lot more things
now my nets card is nothing more than a wasted piece of plastic..
so right now i'm living the life of poverty, staying at home more .. at least until my next pay which comes in this week!
girlfriend, marathon from queensway to holland next week!

23 June

Homecooked breakfast at my place,

with christine and richard and alicia(who missed breakfast and came only at tea time)
now i'm a damn good scrambled egg cook!

25 June

consisted of time spent at home to celebrate titi helen's bday and some very last minute present collecting which saw me travelling from town to IMM!

26 June

let's-surprise-alicia-after-her-driving-test!
and after that eastside chilling with ban mian (which i miss dearly)

29 June

ZARA sale! but as i said earlier, my life savings was spent on the mng sale so i didnt leave the zara sale too happy.. so no photos.. but i still got a couple of stuff

1 July-2 July

A great way to kick start my birthday month !

our very very oh-so-spontaneous saturday at the beach
spontaneous, because it was confirmed only on saturday itself after many calling-it-offs and flat batts
we waited for this 3 pm party that never did quite start only to realize later that it was held at the other end of the beach
so while waiting we took a whole lot of pictures (see above), wait, we meaning me ali and chard.. javier just spent his whole time on the beach sleeping under the coconut tree costing him very uneven and painful sunburns
later we went on the sky ride and luge which was helleva fun (in javier's newly acquired jamaican accnt YAHHH MAAAAAN!!)
we had a fantastic view from the sky ride though i was gripping on to my slippers and camera so tightly cause i was paranoid i might drop them!
had dinner at the near by coffee shop and alicia and richard made a spontaneous decision to sleep over at our very own 'lawah lawah' to watch the game
so 15 mins before kick off time we were frantically running all around holland village picking up snacks for the match
meanwhile, the only non-england supporter, alicia was going on about how beckham and rooney was gonna get sent off allowing portugal to win
and while watching the match it really did happen! IN -THAT -ORDERRRR!

ok so england lost (and i was really sad);and so we thought lets support brazil for the next match

no surprise there, they lost.. I swear we are the worst supporters ever ! whichever team we support loses BEAGGGHH

later that evening was the summer BBQ, as they call it, held at my boss’s place

it started off pretty slow but later it became much more fun with cake smearing and presents opening!
they also celebrated all the july birthdays ! july babies rock big time

3 July

let me introduce you to my pet squirrel, rust

can you spot it?

5 July

nothing much cept that i sat on a record breaking 2 hr 6 mins long bus ride from eunos back home.. talk about busophobia

6 July

we finaly get to F-A-T, after many days of rainchecks

moments of great indecisiveness at zara after carls jr
but i ended up getting everything i wanted, so i'm pretty much like this :D now

so tomorrow it'll be some cheap bugis shopping and a roadtrip down to JB on monday and that would mark the end of the great singapore sale for me! enough is enough!

i'm telling ya this is gonna be a kick ass month ya'll

2006-06-29T01:09:00.000+08:00

"life can push pretty hard sometimes..."

2006-06-15T01:13:00.000+08:00

hah i'm back to blogg
i have many many random things to blog about!
like how i witnessed orange rain ( i knowwww like WHATT?!)
it might sound crazzeee and totally out of this world but its true
at first i didnt believe it too when my maid first told me.. i was like yahh yahhh and continued watching tv then she told my dad who went to have a look and confirmed it was orange rain, like the tiles at my backyard was all orangey.. wonder whats up with that man

one day after work i was at heeran to pick up something and bumped into derrick and kelvin
so after talking for a while, i was about to leave and was slowly walking away with my head still turned back saying bye to them then BHHAAAMMM my whole face was in the chest of this caucasian man, who mind u had a chest made of steel or something.. my nose felt as if it was detached from my face for that moment.. it was seriously damn embarressing.. not only that .. the guy was scary and stared at me like i was some clumsy klutz (which i dont think was really fair cos both of us werent looking).. so in that moment of embarressment i still had to apologise with blackie laffing behind me..

i'm gonna be done with work soon
and guess what they're holding a bbq at my boss's place for my farewell!! they're gonna close the shop early and all ( they never do this) just for meeee! ok maybe not just for me.. for ali too cos she left alr
the bbq's gonna be wierd cos alicia's gonna be there too and we arent supposed to each other so well so we have to becareful not to let the cat out of the bag
last fri louie and chris came to my shop at the most inappropriate time, when my boss, and everyone was standing around getting ready to go for meeting, they walked in and so everyone was looking at them.. i thot it wouldnt be a good idea to talk to them so i had to pretend i didnt know them but i ended laughing instead.. they didnt bother asking why i was laughing but they must have thot i was going nuts
after that joined them at cafe bravisimo and saw cherie and jingying there too.. crystal was also working there .. it was like a mini kc gathering right there! 6 of us were there openly gossiping about schmates not only secondary but primary.. not really gossiping, gossiping makes us sound as if we were talking bad about them.. we were not we were just catching up, asking whos doing what, whos where and how theyre doing.. we go WAAAAAAAY backk i tell yaaa

gilmore girls, onetreehill, the oc has alll ended
where am i gonna go for entertainment now?
maybe grey's anatomy but i follow the channel 5 one AND the starworld one so i'm like sooooo messed up with the episodes.. i blame LOUIE for this.. she suggested i did that
all 3 had dramatic sad endings, nothing new with season finales anway..
anyway onetreehill had a great season in my opinion.. and i'm not saying it just because i favour a cast member, namely AHEMMM

do u get me nowww?

2006-05-28T02:50:00.000+08:00

so i successfully made the journey from the east to the west
i have a couple of frogs and a squirrel visting my new house on several ocassions.. i wanna come up with a plan to somehow tame the squirrel so i can sorta keep it as a pet.. u know like feed it regularly, pet it and stuff? how cool is it to have a pet squirrel.. people will have pet dogs, cats , rabbits but i have a pet SQUIRREL with a reddishbrown bushy tail!

i never realised how many people take GSS seriously man
like they really wait for GSS to start before they buy things and this GSS thing is driving me nuts cos i barely get to take a breather throughout my 7 or 8 hr shift
and the people coming in to the shop expecting EVERYTHING to be on discount and when u inform them that its not they ask why and comment a whole lot
but i got a couple of days of next week so i plan to join in the GSS frenzy and maybe drive some other retailers nuts

caught x men today and it was rather bland
like there were soo many characters introduced but everyone just played a really small role u know.. there was noo character development and depth and stuff
for example rogue appeared in the begining; leaving the school and nothing of her until the end when she came back a non-mutant - just like that!
we were all so late for the movie because of javier KYP!
after waiting a couple of minutes while complaining and whining that we didnt want to miss the begining of the show we started to hunt for a place to hide his ticket which he could go find later.. but eventually we left it with the ticket woman
carls jr after the show.. but it wasnt as satisfying as usual cos i was already stuffed with popcorn from earlier then hung out at the fountain of wealth; the guys talking about white horses and their cool army lingo; and us girls talking bout worldly issues ..heh
so i had to find my way home and it included us walking from suntec to raffles hotel to beach road back up to chijmes and finally to capitol building to find the correct bus stop and when i finally finally found the bus stop i realised (after waiting for 10 mins) that i missed the last bus.. but luckily there was this other bus that brought me around the area

so there's church tomoro and i better go to the sbs website to plan my route so i wont have to spend about an 1hr finding my way there..

2006-04-22T02:02:00.000+08:00

oooh this week has been great , no more stressful work schedules and no more furniture shopping, this has to be the first- one kind of shopping i can get tired of
ugghh i hate the whole moving process, the packing is such a waste of time and it requires you to be all organised and neat.. which kinda goes against my overall way of life..
i'm so sad i'm actually moving far far far away from the eastside in less than a month
so my goal for now till mid may is to spend more time in the east, parkway, lagoon, siglap and alll
rarrrr i really love those places

so the week started with a day off, driving, a battle with the weather and zee girls
because the weather was being all indecisive, i ended up leaving the house without an umbrella and of course this happens to me, it rains like cows and chickens and had to borrow an umbrella from my driving instructor.. the umbrella was sooo damn big it could provide shelter for the whole china population.. and being such a noob at using umbrellas i felt like such a retard using it
and omg we they are such kids at heart

you wont even be able to imagine how excited they got when they saw one whole level of suntec filled with these cheat-little-kids-off-$1- machines

after they were done reliving their childhood, it was off to ben and jerry's where i found my motto in life printed on the table

i have to find jerry of ben and jerry's.. he might very well be meant for meee
and also because he can provide me with tubs for free ice creamm

oh yess, a little delayed news, but still saddening
CHAD M.M is yet again engaged to a cast member of one tree hill.. kenzie dalton or something.. who cares?

then thurs it was some after work prataing, birkens delivering, strolling around thomson, scary ourselves silly at the deserted playground, robbing banks , crazy phototaking, finding our shadows and not being able to find our way home

buffet lunched with my mom on fri then later rushed back home and out again to make it in time for take the lead with richard. then we went to town to sneakily get this crown

to celebrate angsty boy's birthday at tony romas
(and after we "took" the crown we ran out of bk laffing like mad fools i heard someone calling my name and it was mr foo in his car la.. what are the odds! i met him almost the same way just the week before)
well i would upload the photos from this dinner but most of the photos are with the longkang boy who's still trying to figure out how to use my shutterfly so believe me when i say it's gonna take some time

2006-04-03T23:22:00.000+08:00

2006-03-28T00:25:00.000+08:00

wow i havent blogged in a really long time huh
thats because i've been blogging mostly in the amies blog so i end up with nothing to say here
well i've been working more days now.. more than i want but i enjoy it mostly cept that its tiring, wait tiring is just an understatement.. i feel like an old punctured tire after working 5 days straight
on the other hand its damn interesting also because i get to see how some ppl shop.. can you imagine ppl actually use 3G technology to shop, like they go around the shop with their phone, showing the other person the stuff and the other person is like "get the red.. get the stripy one.. get that hat" omg if i could shop like that
then there are some that rush in and say "show me everything you have for a 5 yr old boy and 2 yr old girl.. but show me fast.. i have a flight to catch" and they leave the shop in 10 mins with $500 added to your cash register
but then you meet some people that demand an exchange in size of swim wear after already admitting that they went for a swim in it.. like seriously

and i'm getting sooo tired of town and what it has to offer because i'm there almost everyday so right now i'm loving bugis street shopping, not only do you get good buys, the people there are really nice and friendly, and they have really nice bird's nest drink that we are so addicted to
i never really realised how indecisive i am until i was thrown into a earring shop that had about 200 different designs.. but after a long while i left with these

say ehhlo to my new happy earring collection
happy cos the colours and patterns are so rah rah
and we chanced upon this shop that sold the coolest most creative customised stuff everrrr.. so excited for it to be ready.. i'll post the visuals when its ready yeah
for now sleep beckons!

2006-02-28T23:47:00.000+08:00

haha who am i trying to kidddd

had a really fantastic last supper just now

the food was damn good, company even better (cept for the 2 Js who psed us)

i swear we are living proof that humans can actually get high on air alone

so tomorrow is D day

no matter what the outcome is, i've got ice cream @ jac's to look forward to

and just a random statement, its funny how many people have dreams about the results

anyhows good luck alll!

2006-02-15T12:02:00.000+08:00

thank god i didnt really go thru with my quest to find-a-valentine-in-10-days

because i wouldnt have had such a splendid time, too bad amies was not in full force or else it would have been just perfect

it was damn funny when i dropped at city hall cos there were more than 30 guys waiting for their dates with big bouquet of flowers in their hands.. ok maybe not so funny la huh but i think you had to be there.. they just looked so... eager. but for some reason by the end of the night i saw too many couples looking utterly bored

so thats bout it for my vday, i'm not gonna put my night into words cos i think the photos would do it more justice, and well cos i'm kinda rushing out

i'm so sad its wed cos that means i got another 4 days of work ahead of me and all i look forward to is sun nights, driving lessons which is giving me quite the kick and my gilmore girls episodes

2006-02-07T00:51:00.000+08:00

a hellava week i had
dozen million places to go , things to do, ppl to meet , things i wanna buy/bought
back tracking the week,
all i remember from chinese new yr was the food
we would just plunk ourselves at the dinner table, sit there for hours just eating and eating and eating, my maid or whoever would just go into the kitchen and come out with new things each time, at one point of time i was curious where all the food was coming from but, you know me and my lazy self, just didnt bother
so 3 full days spent with family, family friends and relatives was enough
and what else do you do when you just gotten angpaos?? yeahhh shopppp
31st started off with my driving lesson where i met the utterly most pms-sy man ever, he had a problem with everything i did.. for a moment there i felt like driving up a kerb and crashing the left side of my car into a tree
after surviving 100 mins with that menapausal man, it was off to town to meet my cousin and alicia for some shopping and it was quite an experience to see far east level 1 that deserted.. you could actually do cartwheels, dance, skip, sing at the top of your lungs, basically anything you wouldnt on a normal day at fareast then, after dinner met up with chris and jac for more shopping
started work on the 1st, pple working with me are kinda helpful so thats good, but i guess my boss is kinda strict or rather fussy bout certain things like neatness, cleanliness, attire and stufff
and the worst part of it is we arent really allowed to sit when we're working, we're only allowed to sit for short intervals, so i usually end up squatting behind the counter or in the fitting room when no ones watching haha
other than that its pretty fine
the kids who come in are really adorable, but they are spoilt beyond spoilt
let me give you examples
-there's this 18 mth old child who was going swimming/ beach for the first time and the parents bought 300 bucks worth of swimwear and swimming accessories for him and since they were also accompanying him there they also bought themselves new swimming outfits
can you imagine 1 beach outing, 1 family, 500++ dollars, new stuff from top to toe
-theres this other kid whose parents wanted to buy for him a new swim suit, so he took a couple of swim suits into the fitting room to try and he didnt like one of them , he threw the swim suit at his dad saying "take this stinking thing away from me now!" and the dad was just laughed
-a mother told her daughter "darling go look around whatever you want just put on the counter ok" i dont think i'll ever hear my mom tell me that
yeah so i meet very interesting ppl and they're mostly foreigners, from japan, korea, france and all the angmoh countries, which is half the fun
plus i have lunch buddies everyday
my boss is jap and i very amused just listening to them speak
and i must refer to her as mama-san and she calls me tessa-san, at times i feel like i'm at a geisha house or something (but thats only because of memoirs of a geisha)
met up with amies after my 1st day for jes's birthday dinner
where i was inspired to name my shop (if i own one) "there"
so ppl would actually go "lets go THERE"

2nd day had lunch with alicia and after work shopping at bugis st with these 2

oh and the watch shop man at bugis st thot that me and chris were sisters!hahaha

was off on fri and had an extremely hilarious time at carls jr with photos and videos to prove and then a short detour to marina bay where we caught some fireworks!

sat's after work special was scrap book making , chingay street partying, and walking to ps just to pass time

their retarded pink panther pose

2006-01-21T01:08:00.000+08:00

been up to kl since i last blogged
great getaway from singapore with the dad and mom
and meeting up with peter and ron on day 2 by the non existant apple tree was a plus!
had lunch with them at peter's 4rm/hr work place - roadhouse grill
i thought i travelled back in time to the western cowboy era

we even got to throw the skin of the gigantic msian peanuts on the floor, which peter later had to sweep up

so thats more or less my trip up to kl with a whole lot more of walking, shopping and eating

today was a meet up relay
started off with my cousin then later alicia then richard+christine
bahhh i'm not starting work until feb wth la

2006-01-14T02:52:00.000+08:00

okies sooo today the weather was just GREAAAAT
i dont think i'll be complaining about the heat or sun for a very long time, cos finally! a day that my feet didnt get wet.. i didnt think that day would come!
and i have joined the working force, well not officially cos i'm not starting yet but contracts been signed and hands shaken : )
all i gotta do now is find a lunch time friend

today i woke up with casper sleeping on my left foot
and he's not exactly light.. he's bloody hell 8.5 kg
and like he's been sleeping there for goodness knows how long
and because i sleep like a log i didnt feel it until i woke up with a very very sore ankle, cos he slept on my ankle, with it bent the other way
btw its still feeling weird

then went down to town to finalise my job stuff
met alicia and cheryl who were still looking for employment
the funniest moment was at gramophone where alicia was supposed to list just 6 artiste/groups she liked, and she ended up with the longest list ever
then i told her she should like put down people like michael buble too so that she would seem well rounded in her taste for music, then she started cancelling some of the groups she already put down and changed it to norah jones and stuff, aiyo what an application form.. the person going through it will totally think she's trying to hard and one very indecisive girl.. heh
after that went searching for khaki bottoms, cos i was told to be in khakis but dont own anything khaki, while two of them went places to apply for jobs
came home to speed read thru my driving theory book and headed down to take the trial theory test,which has been the easiest test i've taken in quite awhile, considering the amount of effort i put into it
i however looked like the nerdiest person there with my file all, and i was sucha newbie, it was embarressing
then supper at lagoon where i bumped into jason, i've been bumping into lotsa people these couple of days
k i'm hell sleepy.. tomoro i still got a date with a baby in a hotel.. haha sounds wrong.. alright nights world

2006-01-12T02:44:00.000+08:00

We never know what could have been,

But looking back we see,

What could have been and never was,

Was never meant to be.

2006-01-12T01:28:00.000+08:00

past couple of days have been, lets say, eventful
been back at sch
attended a funeral
been down for approx 20 hrs and i'm glad to say that i'm back up again
because i dont believe in letting anything bring me down, not for too long at least
been warmly welcomed by ferly into "the world of the dejected" and for some reason she's really happy for me cos happenings have shown me to be a "normal" person .. HMMMM...
and chris's wise words "...cos you're tessa"
not forgetting my latest hobby of "romantic" emailing, cos we feel that letter writing such a beautiful, but lost art form
then there was somemore job hunting, i know i've been saying i need a job since like a month ago, actually i kinda had one, but longgg story, but now i REALLY need one cos slacking around is no fun anymore cos there's no one to bum around with as most of my friends are busy with workkk.. raarrr

in every experience there's always a something to be learnt or the oppurtunity to grow as a person and i think i was lucky enough to have both
and its amazing having someone you least expect to know you so well, tell you everything about yourself, i must say, its really different hearing it from someone else

2006-01-09T01:21:00.000+08:00

i hate goodbyes - like all kinds ; ie death,moving,leaving
i hate this weather - cos it gets you down
i hate getting my feet wet
most of all i hate uncertainty, and somehow i think thats what 2006 is gonna be about, for me at least.

Uncertainty.

2006-01-05T20:26:00.000+08:00

today is sooo totally not my day
today was my personal friday the 13th, kay maybe i'm exaggerating alittle but it sure did put me in a mood
to start off my day, my dad woke me up at 7 to go sign up for driving, but that wasnt so bad cos i was happy to get started on driving though i was surviving on 4 hrs of sleep
then because i was so sleep deprived i came back home and overnapped
rushed out of the house and OHHH i forgot to bring javier's crumpler along
so i came back home got the bag and wanted to leave, guess what mother nature decides its time to rain!
so i waited for the rain to subside before coming out again and i ended up being kinda late for jave's and belloc's entering-army lunch
not only that, i got the lunch place all mixed up
then there are some, who for the life of me cannot make simple decisions
as if things cannot get worse, my cam plays dead on me, and christine's cam batt was also flat
not to mention certain sightings that was not all that appealing
but the company, some very high spirited air hockey playing, disastrous 9-sec ddr gaming and spontaneous bag buying did help

so to javier, aka my chicken rice boy, who has enough confidence in me that he wants to be my first passenger when i get my license

for the many times i drag you down to town after school
for the many times i make fun of your inability to spell
for the many times i diss you bout japanese school girls (heh heh)
and lastly for the many times you eat at hans with me without complaining.

2006-01-03T21:38:00.000+08:00

since the new year brought with it the hot topic of our expired student concession, and how we are now being charged adult fare, i would like to report that i spent 9++ whooping bucks on public transport within 2 days.. this CANNOT go on.

this is exactly why i like one tree hill, besides chad of course

2005-12-31T01:40:00.000+08:00

so i havent been blogging much
well its not so much no time, but i've been doing pretty much the same thing everyday and hence nothing much to report
been going out-mostly town, house hunting and eating
town is getting darn boring
i never knew house hunting could be so tiring
and when u meet up with friends in town, which has nothing much to offer as entertainment, you eat, and because of the festive season and all, my parents are like on perpetual annual leave so we've been going out and no surprise, MORE eating

those are pictures from pre-xmas, post xmas and pre-new yr outings
yehh had a great time out today with them, every single one of them never fail to amuse me

chris and her weird antics like asking the waiter "where did the fish come from?" even if i were the waiter i would think she was trying to be funny.. oh and the latest "can you feel heat coming out from your nose?"

jac and her "put my phone against your ear.. feels comfortable right!?"

jes actually doing what jac suggested

louie who's actually being paid 7 bucks an hr for basically doing nothing much for the company, the company's name which she has no idea how to spell, and can come and go whenever

hell, employers who employ my friends are either mad or really generous .. they pay them to sit down, come online, chat on msn and read magazines

ferly and her inability to control her eyes when taking photos, sometimes its like "where are they?" and then sometimes its like 'WHOA.. goldfish!"

teresa, who is too busy to meet up cos of a BOOK sale

py who's MIA-ing since her trip and PS-ing like mad.. u must be there next time!

then there are private jokes like "my face is outta my hair"

i would go on, but i've gotta get some sleep cos tomorrow's gonna be a busy day which starts at 9 and travelling to all ends of singapore for back-to-back house viewing appointments.. uggh i would rather go for the zara sale...

2005-12-25T22:21:00.000+08:00

it's the most wonderful time of the year

2005-12-19T21:55:00.000+08:00

the "we miss peter loads" photo (it took us many shots to perfect this)

merry xmas everyone, from the five of us on one of the balls hanging from the taka christmas tree (we took the same shot with ALL the different coloured balls)

2005-12-07T01:43:00.000+08:00

first things first,
someone please get me either a

job

or a

sugar daddy

and whoever said that having your parent's birthdays on consecutive days is sweet and romantic is sooo wrong cos not only am i broke from prom, as i shop for birthday presents, my santa-get-me-these-please list gets longer and longer. so some days i have resorted to hibernating at home in an attempt to shorten that list of mine.

but trivial matters aside, i've gotta say i'm having bucketloads of fun

2005-11-22T23:37:00.000+08:00

ahhh i'm really quite happy with how my day went
i'm now fifty percent prepared for my drama exam on friday
all i've gotta do now is learn all about shakespeare's life (quite a handful for someone with such a short life) and find out about some random person named muriel stuart (the name is kinda misleading cos this person is in fact a female)
if i stay up late i can finish all this by today and then do alittle bio tommorrow cos i didnt touch bio since the first day of a's and since my brain acts like a seive, just imagine how much information is being retained and maybe, just maybe i'll be relatively ready for both!
and its feeling alot like christmas if you ask me!

2005-11-19T00:19:00.000+08:00

Your Pimp Name Is...

Sugar Butt Dynamite

What's" Your Pimp Name?

2005-11-18T19:59:00.000+08:00

today was one of those excessive laughter days
its either that the thought of half the population of A level takers are over and done with their exams or the very draggy exam timetable thats driving us crazy
after the 1 hr chem mcq paper, we (ali and i) went berserk outside the library and later richard also joined in the madness i think we wasted 1 and a half hours doing what we were doing -which i shall not reveal here cept that it was hella fun and stress-relieving
there was lots of squeling laughing and gasping
and to think we were actually outside the library because we were contemplating whether we should study for our bio option, then we saw the snowflakes hung in the library then one thing led to another
so when we finally decided that we wont be doing any studying, we headed down to town

on the bus,
ali : u know i feel damn fat, like exams you study then you feel hungry then you eat then feel sleepy then you sleep.. getting damn fat (not exact words though)
me : yeahhh same -then some random jabber bout being fat/getting fat-
after a moment of silence,
me : eh wanna eat cheese fries?
ali : yeah ok la!

then there was this whole thing bout peter piper and after much debate we STILL have not yet come to a conclusion bout that

some window shopping followed after.. so many pretty things to get :)

my mom is super funny, whenever i have a paper, she'll listen in on jc students conversations on her way home and then come back with "news on the street" about how other students found the paper so i can compare! Now, who do we all love?

more of such fun-filled days please...

2005-11-14T19:55:00.000+08:00

my jaws are hurting soo bad from excessive gum chewing
i'm getting sooo excited just thinking of post A's plans, and i have already started a to-do list

AND i've got no mood already ...no moooood

2005-11-12T14:08:00.000+08:00

the dreadful Alevel week is over
all the core papers are over and its like "bye bye maths!"
the papers arent going my way but o wells there's nothing much i can do right now
so after an entire week of consecutive grueling papers it was rest and relax on friday after the gp paper
met up with amies for lunch to celebrate chris's belated birthday and jac's birthday

my snuggle buddy,

you're finally 18,
time for some

hur hur got this sometime back studying at the kid's section of the library

then i was left to do some lonesome walking around town waiting for jane
which wasnt so lonesome afterall cos i met alicia peter and chard while wandering round
thank god i bumped into them cos my mom was majorly late

so sad going to town at this time seeing everyone getting into the festive spirit, seeing all the christmas deco up, all the christmas songs playing. i swear i'm going jump right in on the festivities on the 251105. but for now i'm the GRINCH, yeah not rudolph (cos of a huge pimple on my nose) but the grinch.

oh yes and i could very well be off to australia tomorrow with my dad cos he's going there for business but no i cant cos of this stupid thing we call A's.. like dammmnnn

2005-11-07T21:02:00.000+08:00

my dad just gave me the funniest pep talk ever
he compared the a's to a body building competition
and that he hoped that all my muscles have formed
and that preparing/ going frantic the night before wouldn't help the condition of my muscles
which should be in a tiptop state right now from all that working out cos muscles can't be formed overnight
'so tomorrow go on stage and carry those huge dumbells, and maybe just pray that you dont drop them' he said, in all seriousness
but it didnt quite have the effect he was hoping for considering i was laughing my head off at the end of it

2005-11-04T22:50:00.000+08:00

raaarrr baby, raaarrrr

brain block people! BRAIN BLOCK!
my brain has reached Vmax, its fully saturated , its filled to the brim, it has hit max capacity and its rejecting new information!
if you dont understand any of that, don't worry you're just normal.

2005-10-21T21:22:00.000+08:00

meet christine's jester the seal and my sammy the lamb

2005-10-20T22:21:00.000+08:00

so been trying to study alittle here and there everyday
but there has been school almost the whole week.. mock tests and extra lessons
so i havent had 1 extremely efficient studying day yet

anyway i always find myself in weird situations when i'm studying out
and sometimes embarressing even, esp when i'm at the airport - but none can beat the one with the bus, and the police.. yet
ok so yest i was there with ali - the girl who wants to exchange "nightly satisfaction" for maths tutoring- still no idea why me of all ppl, the person who is treading on that 50% mark, but anyhows, i was doing maths and this turkish father and daughter came to share the table with us
the girl kept peering over at my work and for a moment there i was getting alittle urked at why she kept looking
then the father asked me and alicia where we were studying, what we were studying, whats the education system like here, how old we were blah blah then the daughter started to point at my work and told me "you cant split it like that" haha so embarressing la having some tourist correcting my work
then she asked to look thru our chem notes and said she learns the same thing back in uni in turkey
so there, our little excitement for the evening, made new turkish friends : )

and today some fun TAR studying
the bunny and dog fantasy
our ching chong song
and BEAAGHHHHGHHHHHH
oh and some chen han wei trailing tooo!
to think that a levels are just 18 days away

2005-10-15T17:19:00.000+08:00

t33's first class outing on the last day of school

bowling is fun stuff

got pranked by alicia, arun, jolynn and i have to say it was the best prank by far, it left me getting all frantic right smack in the middle of town - kudos on the superb acting people

2005-10-12T00:50:00.000+08:00

"i'll hunt them down"
"i want you to know"
eating prata socksless
uno at iceskimo
plans changing endlessly
dirty little secrets
some fun, some amusing others just frustrating.

the extremely random things that we do in school now makes me think we're all going insane
i mean who the hell walks around school barefooted for no good reason?

and a beeeeeg happy birthday to my kindergarten mate, primary school mate, secondary sch classmate and my jayceee neighbour. you know who you are.

2005-10-08T23:25:00.000+08:00

been listening in on very weird conversations while studying out

at starbucks liat towers, friday

self-absorbed guy: i really dont understand how so many people can die in a tsunami, i mean how dumb can they get? when the wave is coming at you, go hide behind a wall la!
girl: yeah why not you try that sometime, and if you survive you can write a book about it

and he kept going on about how when he goes clubbing girls hit on him BLAH BLAH BLAHHHH
thank god he didnt stay long, or else our(py and my) eyes would have rolled out

anyway today's studying at the airport was quite productive
found a less bustling studying location, so i was less distracted by air stewardesses, pilots..etc
and its situated really near the toilet, so louie was really stoked bout it
louie is damn good to study with .. all she does is listen to her music and go to the toilet
even if i say something, all she'll do is make a funny face or react in someway then go back to her notes
so it was damnnn quiet for the first 4 hours or so but by the last hour we got restless, walked around, talked crap bout thyroxine surfing blood waves to get to the cell receptors

off to fly a kite

2005-10-04T20:19:00.000+08:00

y'day i had the most adventurous time in my 2 yrs in cj
we were late for night study and so ended up pulling some really cool charlie's angel stunts
we finally got into school and had no idea how to get to the library without the teacher on duty noticing us.. then we found ourselves at the back of the library
then we decided to climb up this slopish thing so that we could peer into the library and realised that jason and don were studying at that window so we started knocking or rather banging on the window, laffing and squeling at the same time.. i swear we cannot become detectives whatsoever
they seemed rather confused cos it was those kind of windows where u can look thru from one side but not from the other
after awhile they saw me and started pointing pointing all and then more ppl from inside the library started coming to the window to see who was making all that noise.. and we actually thot the library was sound proof.. like hell apparently we were dammnn loud cos even though jason and don had their ipods plugged into their ears they could hear us
anyways all the knocking and getting their attention didnt work out cos they went back to studying and didnt help us
so we walked the long way round the sch in darkness and scary ourselves silly with our own shadows
we wrapped our bags with our jackets to hide out bags ( but was super obvious la) and pink-panthered our way past the teacher to the self study area outside the library
we then took our study stuff and walked into the library as if we had been studying outside the entire time ! are we good or what!? (though by the time we accomplished all this it was already 7:40)
and my partner in crime was none other than...

this is definitely a SACs worthy stunt
SACs- making our last few days in cj count.

2005-10-02T02:02:00.000+08:00

amidst all this drama, i ask who the hell is WOLS

well he's a friend to one and all :)

2005-09-29T21:43:00.000+08:00

how i am suddenly involved in this whole faggot boy drama, i really have no idea
but i'm truly quite facinated by the number of people who got roped into this cheap, unnecessary drama, following it religiously like some soap opera ( it kinda reminds me of how i check out the fox website for the latest oc spoilers and the wb website for the one tree hill ones)
anyway back to the point, i was never involved in this faggot boy series, contrary to some ppl's belief that i was actually the MASTERMIND behind this childish-preschool-lets-call-each-other-names-and-be-imposters nonsense. belief me, i have better things to do with my time and better drama to indulge in. if the imposters "tessaaaaaaah"/"arunkr" and anonymous think that by tagging, you can get me to join in this little afterschool hobby of yours, i have only one advice for you- try harder dude/dudes. but if you ppl still insist in this incessant tagging of yours, i say go on, beacause i dont really mind lending you my 2.5" by 3" personal space to rant, till you get a space of your own, of course, or until this imposter tagging phase of yours, which seems to being giving you some form of entertainment, dies down. till then, this is all i am gonna say bout this and let you all have what you guys call fun. my deepest sympathies to all those out there who are already hooked on to this drama - oh no! what are you gonna do every night once this drama ceases? as i said, deepest sympathies... oh dammmnnn i think i wasted enough time being caught up in your little childish world, i can already feel my brain cells decreasing in number.. i think i'll go and have a life now, something i strongly recommend to "tessaaaaahh"/"arunkr" and anonymous,take me up on this and life might just be more worthwhile for you.

P.S: don't get me wrong, i'm not exactly slamming the imposter taggers or anonymous, i just think that no one else should be sucked into this drama cept for the main people involved like the one who started it and the one who is being 'attacked' by him. they have to settle it amongst themselves. its only fair that way.

2005-09-16T19:43:00.000+08:00

had A AWESOME time out today
930 am the chem students hurrah hurrahed out of the freezing audi after chem paper 2
then breakfast with the usual breakfast bunch at hans where there were many complains bout the cost of each scrambled egg and the amount of bacon given
then there was the pepper sniffing competition to see who could sneeze first .. came to the conclusion that low quality pepper was provided by hans cos it didnt quite cause the pepper sniffers to sneeze until 10 mins after jason kept sneezing non stop! guess it just took some time to take effect

then it was off to subway where we terrorised the 31 ppl especially lisa and her tys
i swear she's the funniest,blurrest person ever
on our way to wheelock, we were honked by a taxi driver while crossing the road between lido and pac plaza
and the honk wasnt a normal beep, it was more like BBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
it went on for about a minute.. i thot my ear drums were gonna blow
i bet everyone along scotts road heard it.. actually it was quite embarressing .. dunno why the taxi driver was soo frickin angry with us also.. he even did some hand sign at us la

oh and the hypothesis that whenever alicia, richard and i are together, we always see some mediacorp artiste was proven right yet again

then there was the catwalk along orchard road showcasing the new collection of "chanel" sweaters in the different shades of blue and the very coincidental but very fated meet up with ferly and her booo at kino where we went crazy i mean crazeeeeee stationery shopping like we spent more than an hour there "going omg they have it in greennn!! hey there's orange there!! omg stripes!!! ehh the big oneee!!!! " while the guys just sat down and complained

and an adventure to the crime scene of the gruesome-chop-up-maid-put-in-luaggage saga
some nice chilling time at coffee bean where we were at the peak of our highness we just kept laughing and laughing
oh and richard thinks i'm stress resistant and that my name should be stress-me-not

had lagoon food for dinner
i simply love lagoon food
its the shiokest of shiok
and the atmosphere with the sea and the wind to add to the shiok factor
marvellous day, i say.

2005-09-15T19:12:00.000+08:00

this my dear fren, alicia is the new ipod nano. now do you still think that i am getting sucked in to technology?

and prelims arent going too well, when you think things could not get worse the next paper proves you wrong.. bio section structured was like "oh come lets spring a surprise on tessa with all the topics she left out" and i left out 3 only and the 3 topics came out.. and actually thot i was fairly prepared for prelims.. HAH big joke.. but at least its coming to an end

2005-09-08T23:10:00.000+08:00

studying went shitass slow today cos i studied at home
seriously my house is not meant for studying there are so many distractions or maybe i'm just easily distracted
watched some new dvds that my dad bought
played with casper
fell asleep
chitter chatter with my maid, grandma, mom, myself... anyone who was willing to talk
ate mooncake, tiramisu, icecream, chips, cheesesandwiches, cheese fries etc
went to my neighbours house to watch dogs mate (i'm not sick ok.. i'm just bored and sort of happened to be there)
and the com was another damn huge distraction..
i should be locked up in an asylum without anything just a table and a chair and my notes in a straight jacket so that i wouldnt be able to do anything other than study
and now there's oc and one tree hill(season finale!!)
like so dead la.. but at least tomoro i'm meeting up with louie pooey for mugcamp !

2005-09-05T00:16:00.000+08:00

i love peyton's sketches.

and timing is everything.

2005-09-01T20:32:00.000+08:00

i quote christine kwek
" tessa you are amazing..."
haha she suddenly said that to me half way through studying

chris: since u dont want to be in the D*** clan u want to be on the L***** clan? and yes you took the pics cos u were trying to prove how free u were since ur prelims was over while we were crazy mugging

2005-09-01T11:49:00.000+08:00

and i've been celebrating birthdays again, like whats new ?

amies in icing

doing some serious studying

and some not-so-serious studying
and the four different versions of ipods belonging to the 4 usual ppl at the night study table

teresa's birthday celebrations yesterday was just so funny
ate at crystal jade where the manager with the really weird accent wont stop talking to me bout chicken and when i turned my head to hide my laughter he scolded me and asked me to look at him!
and i think everyone at the table have what char siew pau looks like embedded in their brains.. this waitress kept repeating that charsiewpau was "outside white white and inside brown brown"
then it was zhong zi mi ma time again to finish up the food left
oh yes and happy birthday sung in chinese to lai fong
and my new chinese name : naizhingu

more some other time guysss!

2005-08-26T14:30:00.000+08:00

so i've been celebrating lotsa birthdays this week
happy birthday to CHAD and JOLYNN

and i've also been watching alot of this lately
and meet matt czuchry(pronounced as zook-ree) -extreme right

didnt get a good nights sleep last night
its quite frustrating being physically asleep but mentally awake

and i've got big plans for today
1) complete watching 6 episodes of gilmore girls
2) complete 6 bio chapters ( this ones quite impossible)
yeah today's lucky number is 6

a very disturbing photo

yeah thats chad and sophia bush

2005-08-18T21:29:00.000+08:00

although i'm extremely unprepared for the chem mock tomoro, partly because i over-napped and some of my notes are with my dear fren jason, i'm in an unusual blogging mood

maybe because i'm happy for my fren, or because i bought hairbands and a necklace or maybe its because its raining, or maybe i had a good time in school, having so many free periods to play around and do many stupid things, or it could be that delifrance lunch that was soo enjoyable talking about mafias and oogling over the twins- i'm happy and i don't wanna study

but chem mock tomoro wont be a problem because i'm armed with the (apparently) most important chemical equation : NaOH+HCl --->H2O+NaCl

i just received a realllyy funny msg from jason...hahahha i cant stop laughinggggg.. and there HAS to be a limit to the amount of mucus a normal human being can produce ....

2005-08-17T22:48:00.000+08:00

finally, mocks seem to serve a purpose
it got me off my ass and start with chem revision
i have been kinda worried bout the whole not studying thing for some time but being the procrastinator that i am i didnt do anything about it
but that's gonna change from TODAY

so before all these study plans came about i was made to feel like a jinx
see me and christine headed to parkway after sch hoping to eat delifrance
and when we finally stepped out of the hot hot heat into parkway, we see delifrance being under renovation, "something exciting is brewing"
i dont want whatever's that brewing i just want my tuna ciabatta sandwich!!!!
and this is not the first time something like that has happened to me
couple of months back me and ferly wanted to eat pizza hut so we went all the way down to parkway from sch discussing what we were gonna have all and when we went there we realise a hardware store took over pizza hut
these food outlets hate me or what !!????
sooo christine called me a jinx and we ended up eating mos beside a sec school couple that couldnt , for the life of me, keep their hands off each other

oooh but we studied alfresco style today which was damn cool cos it was cloudy and breezy

now that i've got chem started, i'll start bio soon ...and lets not go into maths cos i realised that i forgot almost all of last years work..

2005-08-16T18:06:00.000+08:00

so i've been sick for the past 6 days but i'm feeling a whole lot better now
haven't been to school for a full sch day for let me seee...11 days i think
whoa almost like a self declared holiday
y'day i went to school and felt all blahish
so i called my dad to pick me up and left school at 1030
the tissue industry is booming right now because of me
i see all the trash bins in my house filled with tissue
and dad left singapore last night
so i decided not to be a ding dong and didnt go school today incase i fainted and no one would be able to bring me home (according to ferly)
ok there's nothing exciting left to say cept that i cant wait for school to end at 1 pm evvvveeeerrrrryyyyyyday!

2005-08-11T13:33:00.000+08:00

i've got mr sniffles

bahhhh i'm sick again and this time the flu bug hit me hard
my fever keeps coming and going and i feel like shit
i slept from 8 last night till 1 pm today, waking up in between only to take my medicine
and my throat feels like it has millions of thorns in there, it hurts even when i drink fluids
but i got 2 days mc and i feel like skipping maths mock on sat too
i hate it when my ears get blocked
i think this is the sickest i've been

2005-08-09T12:23:00.000+08:00

past few days have been just great, ok maybe except last friday where i had a test and a mock afterwhich i walked aimlessly in town and ended up really tired
saturday was the trala-dingdong-song day
on our way up to the gp mock jason started singing ooooh you touch my tralala my ding ding dong and it got stuck in my head throughout the entire paper.. and i'm still rather amused by the possibility of such songs existing
then it was saturday pancake night with many laffs over model answers and stuff
dinner on sunday at lagoon with jac ferls teresa jes to celebrate louie pooey's birthday
omg although she has turned 18 she still remains a loser
haha she didnt find out about her dinner celebration till 15 mins before the meeting time
which totally spoilt our elaborate plans but being the great party planners we are, we had wonderful back up plans
yummy food, retarded photos, and the coolest way of lighting candles on the rocks
yesterday's national day eve celebrations in school was made more interesting with the gay dancers aka the rugby team it was hilarious shit
then it was down to whereelse but town
after lunch at hans where we came up with the red and white party and some ching chong rap
we went baby clothes shopping and relived our childhood by forcing ourselves into those children rides and the mini carousel
then after soup it was left with alicia and i and we went to kino where she left invisible msges and i finally got my " the best little girl in the world" book
and then i had drama where i was told that my drama exam would most likely clash with my a's.. like my exam timetable isn't screwed up enough..
oooh but on a happier note, twister fries from macs are back! woo hoooo

damn it would have been nice...

2005-08-04T15:29:00.000+08:00

amies love

this is what i've been doing the entire afternoon

2005-08-04T13:22:00.000+08:00

yday's career day was fun - at least the first part of it
the career talks were interesting and most of the speakers who were ex cjcians were entertaining but the university talks succeeded in putting me to sleep

after the hospitality talk we were discussing who would work as what in a hotel
we have a beach i/c, casino dealer, bouncers, chef, bell boy, entertainer, events planner - the whole works!

slept in today while it was pouring outside
what a nice day to take a break from school
but i got to mug for tomoro's bio mock and chem test which i'm sooo unprepared for
i hate mocks cos they make little sense they are like prelims for the prelims
sooner or later they're gonna have mocks for mocks for mocks for .. yeah you get my point
i'm starting to make little sense too
ok i shall go sip on my coffeeshop kopi-peng NOW

2005-08-02T20:08:00.001+08:00

today was like laughter day boy
started with maths tutorial where i was the only one laughing at some silly image in my head
no one else could understand why i thot it was so funny
then it was pe time aka dance session where i thot i was gonna self combust under the sun
the mushroom joke had such a good response amongst our 31 neighbours
it got to a point where i was like "let me tell you a joke!!" "yeah yeah.. fungi fungi.. i know"
haha sorry if the joke spread like wildfire!
bio lect was hilarious - it has been a long time since mr chua left and since we completed the series of mr bombastic videos
we're starting on repro and we were told that if we had any pressing qns that we might be somewhat embarressed to ask our parents we could drop the qn in our teacher's pigeon hole and remain anoynomous.. we were soooo tempted to sabo jolynn
and an eg qn given by our teacher was and i quote " why is the skin colour of my penis darker than the rest of my skin"
we had a good laff
must be the helium from yesterday that's making laugh so much

went to coffee bean to study with christine
and i finally got started with the oh-so-dreaded kidney topic
but i kept getting pins and needles..grr was damn irrritating

2005-07-29T23:15:00.000+08:00

spent most of this week present shopping in town after school
i think present getting is quite a difficult task especially when u are getting a whole lot of presents shared by a whole lot of ppl
i might need a whole month to recover from my financial loss man
then there's louie's and jolynn's birthday coming up
what was wrong with couples 18 yrs back around october huh
why are there sooooo many pple born in late july early aug?
i bet hospitals were boooming with babies around this period back then

talking bout babies me christine and javier went baby clothes window shopping for christine's about-to-be-born neice
and it was dammmn funny cos we kept embarressing jave by making him sound like he made some girl pregnant but didnt want to admit it
hah i bet he'll never want to shop with us again

another funny thing that happened during present shopping
was with richard at paragon and he walked straight into the glass door of prints
and there was a loud gong sound la
his faced turned sooooo red
all i could do was laff and laff

.the big eighteen.

yesterday's birthday celebrations beat the other 17 hands down!
started with a five-way call at 12 am with ferly alicia engjoo and nic!
alot of laughing and it was kinda messy but hah so fun!
then at sch i was given my first present and it wins the award for the weirdest present i've EVER gotten
a SAW. yep . a SAW. and if you want to know who the joker is, its arun
and his reasoning was that presents have to be different and dangerous and he claims that it symbolises removing all obstacles in my way.. it came with a realllly nice card too though!
and school went by slowly while i abused my power to make pple do things for me just cos its my birthday
then after school there was this thing in the canteen
everyone met there and i had a slice of coffee bean tiramisu cake
nic ho and his usual speech and birthday song
and opening of presents
and lots of photo taking
as you can see it was sooo much fun
whoa but not over yet still got part 2
we made our way to swensens (my palace) for ice cream cake and some on the house firehouse thing and to take more and more photos
and nic and darren mixed rootbeer, chilli sauce, salt, pepper, water and dunno what else and got me to drink it
it was sooo yucky i almost spit it all out and whats worse was that i found out later that nic's saliva was in the mixture tooo
and the day celebrations ended outside the orchard mrt station with brandon and his "look under there , underwhere?" joke
thanks to nic bran darren qian greg loo engjoo charles jave ferly jolynn christine and richard and alicia the great party planners and for the cake too!
then it was off to bedok for surprise birthday celebrations with AMIES
i got blindfolded in the cab with ferls and louie with music blasting in my ears just so that i wont know where the secret birthday celebration location was at
ended up at ferly's house where everyone else was and we had steamboat for dinner
py and her chilli , the beef balls that couldn't be cooked, and great catching up session!
played a few rounds of zhong ji mi ma and py sucks so bad at it la- not only she cant give the range properly she blurts out the number in mind!
chris and her zhong ji mi ma with decimals!
had another cake/brownie baked by ferly which was yummy
cake count for 18th birthday :5
thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes, smses, lovely presents, company, surprises and memories to last me a life time!

the next few weeks will be filled with more birthdays! i'm going to be sooo broke but i think birthdays are sooo much fun!

2005-07-20T21:46:00.000+08:00

today was a dammmmn good day
started out slow and all cos i was terribly sleepy
spent my break sleeping in class and i think it was the deepest sleep i ever ever had in school
and i forgot to bring my lecture notes AGAIN for bio lect so i spent the time half doodling half sleeping
something really funny happened during bio tutorial
my teacher walks in and we all stand and in the midst of greeting him
jolynn: eh i feel sick.. i want to pon tomorrow!
then our teacher asks us to sit and at the same time i said a little too loudly
me : SIAAAANNN (directed to jolynn)
and he thot i was saying it to him so he got quite mad and told me that if i was so sian i should get out of class
i was like !!!????
after school i had the drama farewell/step down party
so no more cca for me!!
it was a really small party cos some ppl didnt make it and stuff but we had good chocolate fondue with bananas, kiwis, marshmellows
the j1s gave us really nice gifts in small boxes
and for those who were there while we were waiting for our party to start, that guy guarding the pizzas was reallly from the maths society as i assumed! HAH how accurate can i get man!
after drama, nic, darren, derek and i were at the canteen playing truth or dare and one of the dares was for nic to go ask for some pizza and they really gave us ! they even threw in 3 loaves of garlic bread!
we headed down to little india to look for racial harmony day outfits and on the bus they were playing and talking so loudly that i pretended i didnt know them
and at little india i bought an outfit almost immediately.. it was one of my fastest decisions ever!
we were walking around for 15 mins then i saw that outfit and i decided to buy it almost immediately .. i really liked the colour
i came home tried it on and its at least 2 sizes too big
haha oh mannn how can places that sell clothes not have fitting rooms!!??
and now i gotta go on and talk about shopping with those guys
firstly they are super good at bargaining they either have charm that works on those shop owners or they really confuse the shopowners by all talking at the same time
so they were bargaining for this guy's full suit thing and the shop owner agreed to sell it for 10 bucks
they were trying on the sizes and choosing the different colours cos they were buying for their friends and all and after they were ready to pay the woman suddenly she said that it was 14 bucks each
decided not to buy and the guy owner of the shop was scolding us all say that what kind of customers are we to try on, bargain so much and take photos and suddenly decide not to buy but every single one of us heard that it was $10 originally so it was not exactly our fault except for the bargaining part
the guys then went to another shop and bought the same top and to another shop to buy sarongs
haha cant wait to see everyone tomorrow!
and all this took the guys more than an hour laaaaa
me mao and alicia were sitting down slacking while they bargained and chose colours.. sometimes i think they're worse than girls!
we ended up choosing for them the colours so we could hurry off to our next stop which was chinatown cos alicia wanted to get her chinese costume
so mao the chinatown man led us and brought us to some highclass chinatown mall where they sold costumes for 100 bucks for a full set
we later ended up at some small shop and alicia got her kiddy chinese suit the rest of us also got a chance to practice our chinese.. which was quite terrible
a big thanks to nic for the pre-birthday swensen's earthquake treat
it was hilarious cos we first had to each give a toast to something random
then they sang one of nic's original happy birthday song, hoping that they might give us the birthday earthquake thing.. didnt quite work though
so we left chinatown tired but each happily swinging our costumes in our little plastic bags

2005-07-15T23:15:00.000+08:00

past few days have been slacking and doing what nots
now sepak takraw has taken over battleship.. and we are getting better by the day
yesterday had to stay back longer, joining the j1s for extra pe-dance session just because we skipped our pe period last week so we were made to dance for 2 hrs straight
but it was kinda fun cos alicia and i had our facil class there and they are really cool funny pple

today at school i got rather disturbed because our bio and chem teacher kept reminding us how easy it was to kill oursleves with carbon monoxide
it seemed as if they were trying to suggest we kill ourselves... maybe its because of our midyr grades!
well, we are not to be blamed totally
i mean what do they expect of us when we have a teacher who comes in every lesson telling us to drop the subject or just give up and not go for the exam at all
and btw that's not even possible cos we are a 3 sub class

this week has to be embarressing week or something
- on tues after some talk while walking out of the audi i was turning back and talking to jolynn and i walked straight into a pot of plants which made a reaalllly loud noise when it hit the bench next to it and everyone there turned to look
- today during bio lect rachel was drawing on my leg so i was trying to get back at her then richard joined in too and mr chin who was lecturing was like "richard stop playing with the girls behind.. keep poking here poking there" haha can die la

after school study plans with ferly changed from first going home then meeting at the airport to study and surprise my dad when he arrives to lunch at town then studying at coffeeclub
but it was all good cos we so coincidentally met peiyun!
and we studied at adjacent tables .. haha damn fun la playing the question, 3 word, and pointing game
i didnt exactly do much though.. but gotta start somewhere right
after studying met my mum and aunt for sakae but was kinda full to eat much
then i had the longest longest taxi ride home ever!
felt as if i was going to throw up all the sushi and dessert i ate

2005-07-12T23:51:00.000+08:00

school has been the usual, only that we're learning a dance for pe which is quite fun
haven't gotten back any papers yet, and they say ignorance is bliss so yeahh i rather not get back my results
came back and watched coach carter on dvd then later i became sleepy and moody.. hah
oh but i had very yummy pineapple rice for dinner
ok thats all

2005-07-10T12:09:00.000+08:00

my week was 100% fun and 0% work
i skipped so many lessons and if i went for them i was playing battleship
battle ship is sooooo addictive
on friday we played throughout mr glascow's gp tutorial then carried on with the game on the bus on our way to town and even continued playing it in hans
have been going town everyday after school too.. i'll just die if i continue like this
watched war of the worlds and fantastic four (alicia's show.. heh) with the terrific ten
everyone should go watch fantastic four and look out for chris evans ! he looks so darn good in the show but i can't really find nice photos of him
oh and i've also been having this horrible headache every single day and it just won't go away.. in fact i'm having one right now
i think i'm going swimming with my cousin later.. hopefully it doesn't rain!

2005-07-02T21:49:00.000+08:00

friday was super duper wuper
last day of exams and amies-meet-up
hit town after the last paper to shop and eat with ferly
and the great singapore sale is not benefitting me at all cos i can barely find anything to buy.. which is so so sad
then chris met us at pizza hut where we had our strawberry syrup-ice cream-soda-milkshake.. trust me it didnt taste as good as it sounds
then headed home to take a power nap before going to the airport to meet the girls minus pei for dinner and earthquake at swensens
too bad py couldn't come or else it would have been all eight of us
ordering earthquake was hilarious... never knew that 7 people choosing 8 flavours of ice cream would be so chaotic i bet everyone at swensens knew what flavours we ordered
poor louie didnt get her choice of some raisin icecream cos we voted and it was clear that majority didnt like that flavour
eating earthquake was very... erm.. structured... cos our dear chris came up with this rule of eating earthquake where the bowl has to be rotated every minute so that everyone would have equal share of the different flavours and we were only allowed to eat the flavour directly in front of us for that one minute and couldnt jump flavours ..we would get scolding if we talked ! so everyone was just trying to make full use of the 1 minute before the bowl turned again..
jac then left with her dad who we met coincidentally outside the toilet.. like how fated is that?
then skytrained to terminal 1
was at the viewing gallery when i found out to my shock and amazment that teresa carved ALL our names - as in the entire amies on the EIFFEL TOWER.. like hell! our names on the eiffel tower - one of the seven wonders of the world
and its significant cos "amies" is french and the eiffel tower is in france and all so u see how i made the connection.. we concluded that the next thing for us to do is to learn french together then we can all go france and see for ourselves our names on the eiffel tower but for now we can go " Bonjour, Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir" and if we are hungry we can go "baguette" or "poisson" (pronounced as phua-saun, meaning fish)
then we watched planes take off and "take down" according to someone- i forgot who
oh and after all the midyr studying at the airport, i decided i want to work at the airport! i dont know as what yet though.. but it might just be a passing phase
after plane viewing jesmine and i loooooked people up in the directory.. didnt get to complete the search but we're going back for part 2 of the search soon

let it be known that the names in bold are my 7 wonders :)

and here they are with the earthquake we were about to attack! life cannot get better than this.

i think this photo is really amusing.. look at chris concentrating so hard and me looking so bored! choosing what to eat is a real tough choice

yay will be going out with my cousin who's back from australia tomorrowwww but first i have to pack all my notes and books on my table cos everything is in a huge mess right now!

photos stolen from ferly's photoblog

2005-06-28T00:32:00.000+08:00

waking up at 7 am for an exam after a whole month of waking up in the afternoon is no joke
i'm so dazed
chem paper was a tough one
but at least i get to sleep in tomorrow

2005-06-22T22:07:00.000+08:00

AMIES keep 1 july free! we are going out to earthquake!

haha i know i said it in our blog already la but i'm too excited for it!
so many exciting things to look forward to after the exams!

2005-06-20T11:34:00.000+08:00

imagine how shocked i was when i found out that the author of justice league is my secret admirer : )

and instead of studying, i spent a good amount of time in the wee hours of the morning enjoying the rain and having a is-it-an-elephant-or-hippo-debate.. wth la seriously

it has to be an elephant!

2005-06-19T23:25:00.000+08:00

my throat is like killing me but strepsils pain relief is doing a good job numbing my throat
had a good shopping spree with chels just now though i didnt get much stuff for myself, mostly presents ie last min father's day present and birthday presents
yesterday was like the ultimate day
we mugged alittle in the afternoon at our very own xing xing ca fei dian
then it was off to town for dinner
then art appreciation while watching jac dance her ass off
and later supper at some super high class chinese restaurant with jac's family minus jac
but jac's father was entertaining us with his phone's horoscope thingy
and we entertained ourselves playing fear factor
and well chris entertained herself trying to start conversations with the china waitresses who barely understood her
and because it was such a fancy chinese restaurant we pretended we were attending teresa's wedding dinner ... ahhh long story no one will understand anyway
haha oh my goodness only 7 days till sch starts!!

2005-06-10T13:35:00.000+08:00

i just had the weirdest dream everrr
like out of this world weird..
i should seriously stop sleeping so much..
and because i'm quite curious about what the dream might mean i went dream researching and found out some cool facts

-Toddlers do not dream about themselves. They do not appear in their own dreams until the age of 3 or 4.
-If you are snoring, then you cannot be dreaming.
-Men tend to dream more about other men (how gay is that?), while women dream equally about men and women.
-Five minutes after the end of the dream, half the content is forgotten. After ten minutes, 90% is lost.
-We dream on average of one or two hours every night. And we often even have 4-7 dreams in one night.
-Dreams are indispensable. A lack of dream activity can mean protein deficiency or a personality disorder.

and is spice girls and backstreet boys suddenly considered cool again or something?
cos while shopping at ps yesterday every shop i entered was either playing spice girls or bsb

i guess its one of those

childhood things that stick-

2005-06-09T20:03:00.000+08:00

10 fun things to do while studying at the airport-

#1 pretend you are about to fly off to the orange county (to maybe meet the cast of the oc/ laguna beach)
#2 make fun of japanese tourists and their cameras - the classic
#3 observe air stewards/stewardesses/pilots and come to conclusions who has something going on with who
#4 changing places 3 times all over macs and finally settling down with cushion seats by the waterfall-pondlike thing by our side which balances our ying and yang which speeds up our studying process, our being alicia's and mine
#5 talking about really crappy stuff like setting up a band called F.A.T to compete with st. garbage (jame's and bran's band) who sings really really vulgar songs (oh btw all F.A.T groupies will be called F.A.T cells you know like how clay supporters are called clay mates.. only that F.A.T cells are way cooler)
#6 instead of asking the information counter bout flight details, ask them where the bookshop is
#7 making fun of the names that are being announced over the pa system (trust me this one's fun)
#8 shout and scream really loudly when you see the army/police dudes carrying their guns, looking really intimidating
#9 when families hug, scream, kiss their relatives/friends who i assume they haven't seen for some time, join in .. they wouldn't even notice the difference..considering the chaos
#10 taking the sky train up and down, up and down , up and down.. i could go on all dayy

so other than studying alittle here and there, camp planning, i've been watching LOADS of friends.. like LOADS.. cos super daddy bought for me a whole season and can i just say that i CANNNOOOOT get enuff of friends.

2005-06-05T23:23:00.000+08:00

i p o d therefore i am.

i think only louie will understand this. hur hur.. i am sooooo happy!
class party on friday was hella fun
7 of us sitting on the rocks looking up at the stars until we realised that the rocks were infested with creepy crawlies
and quote of the day has gotta be ferly's "i win !! i win!! i win!!"

spent most of today at starbucks studying with louie pooeyy
then my dad brought us to the computer fair at expo
and i got lucky there : )

2005-06-02T12:00:00.000+08:00

i'm getting really worried cos i just realised how little time i have left to study
this entire week has been hectic with extra lessons in school, reccee and meetings for the DISCOVER! camp, and the class party
i really have NO TIME left for studying and i'm starting to freak out
i think the concept of having extra lessons during the hols are crap
i had a teacher sending me "his regards with lots of hugs and kisses" cos i didnt turn up, well i had planned to but waking up at 7.15 during the hols proved to be impossible
and yesterday's lesson was changed from 8 to 9, and by the time i found that out was when i was in school and of course i became very moody
but i'm glad i don't have to go back to school for anymore extra lessons !

my speakers have this loud humming/buzzing sound when i turn them on
my dad even thought it was a siren
so i can't watch the rest of the oc and listen to music
of course i can go out and buy speakers but i cannot afford to waste time.. speakers will have to wait !

2005-05-29T20:41:00.000+08:00

i'm back from town
and i'm feeling rather sleepy all of a sudden
ferly and i agreed that its feeling alot like christmas
but the grinch py doesnt think so
and py if you're reading this i don't owe you money cos the tom cruise show is also called collateral so noone's wrong okies! :)
ugghhh can't believe i've got school tomoro
and i want a yellow mng dress! but i have no idea where to wear it to
there were crazee liverpool fans on a red bus singing and shouting , celebrating like there was no tomorrow ..
maybe cause they dont have to go to school at 8 tomorrow

2005-05-29T14:11:00.000+08:00

people new layout!

i'm supposed to meet ferly, chris and py in 30 mins
and i'm still in my pjs.. who thinks i'm gonna be late?

but ended up surprising brandon at his doorstep
but it didnt really work out that way cos he was still asleep and we surprised his maid, lala instead
on the bus on the way to his house
ms teh came on the bus
and i had to hide cos i didnt go sch on wed with the excuse that my ankle was giving problem
were like in some spy show it was hilarious
when we reached his house we had to sneak past the guards and because we weren't really sure which block he lived in, we had to go to the 9th floor of 3 different blocks till we ended up at his house
james joined us later
they watched soccer while ferly mugged for gp
haha the GP MUGGER
and i was busy forcing ppl to take photos
then we rushed down in a cab for the rugby finals
it was damn good cos met chris and jac there too and we got the plate!
stayed awhile longer to watch part of the ac rj match
then went to parkway to munch
where i met my dad who was gonna buy his new phone
watched ami finals which was one of the best out of the rest of the seasons in my opinion
except that bobice didn't win

friday:
gp paper in the morning
went to subway yet again
we were like on a high there cos there were so many of us and we were making hell lot of noise
then met chris and py
ate at this place at cine which chris was raving about

2005-05-25T22:25:00.000+08:00

u see i ended up not going to school today cos it was raining heavily and i had no transport to sch and it was soooo tempting to go back to bed, so i did

but my maths notes were in school and so i cancelled tuition today

he was being such a jerk scolding me for always cancelling tuition and that my a's are near and blah blahhh

then i told him that i was sick and had to see doctor thats why i'm cancelling

THEN AT 730pm HE CALLED ME TO CHECK IF I WAS REALLY OUT

LIKE SERIOUSLLLLLYYYYY..GRRRRRRR

i was so irritated i cut him short and said that i really had to leave for the doctor's already SHEESSSHHH

oh and yesterday i met steph and marianne at town

and steph said that all the ppl staying in the east seem to be spraining their ankles

i think its so true.. its like an EASTSIDER'S curse!

first it was marianne and charmaine.. now its me.. wonder who's next!

and i heard i missed maintenance today... YESS!!!!

2005-05-24T22:19:00.000+08:00

i'm starting to really like subway!!
and i'm addicted to untitled~simple plan
jolynn was sooo irritated cos i kept listening to it over and over again
then went window shopping with moosa
incredible with my ankle situation
its actually feeling alot better
only that i'm still walking with a limp
and jolynn says its an embaressment walking with me.. hah so saddd
everyone is telling me i should be resting and not walking around town and also to wrap my ankle
actually wanted to skip sch tomoro but i've got to do some drama thing.. wasted

off to ice my ankle nowww

2005-05-22T23:44:00.000+08:00

the whole of yesterday was spent stuck at home watching teevee

i watched almost everything there was to watch

old episodes of gilmore girls, my sweet 16, laguna beach, the ashlee simpson show, part of chocolat, a rugby match, the manchester vs arsenal match and the next 5 episodes of the oc

i'm definitely hooked onto the oc.. especially after watching the ending of episode 14.. haha hilarious

caught some mtv show bout making house of wax and chad mm on the jay leno show today!

mid day i was really craving for peanut butter mnm's

and stupid 7-11 doesn't sell it

so i've been dipping normal milk chocolate mnm's into skippy's peanut butter.. its almost the same! SINFUL...

oh and my mom is damn mean she races me to the toilet and of course i lose so i'm left outside in desperate need to empty my bladder

people are so inconsiderate to the disabled

like today while out buying dinner at lagoon, i got honked by a car cos i was not crossing fast enough and he even did something with his headlights like he made it flash twice and he didnt even bother slowing down so i stopped my limping and hopped across on one leg instead

and ppl actually stare at you for walking funny

i just realised my entire family is clueless when it comes to injuries

my aunt told me to get a whole basin of ice and stick my foot into it

thank god i know something or two or i would be footless

i'm drinking redbull now cos redbull gives you wings

i'm craving for some hagen daz now

i don't know what am i gonna do tomorrow man

you know i'm so bored with the tv that i might actually sit down to do some work or maybe stick my feet into a basin of ice..

2005-05-20T22:56:00.000+08:00

sports day went all well

us t33 looking like killer whales

and dying of heat in our black class tees

had lotsa fun cheering ppl on

then i sprained my ankle while playing floorball

argghh.. i thot it was just a minor twist and wanted to go on playing

but i realised i couldnt even stand up

the whole game had to stop awhile for me to limp all the way across the court

my gawddd so embarressing please :

later i started feeling damn bad cos like javier was damn sad that we lost and all

that i started crying.. you know how uncool that is ?? crying on sports day!!??

haha alicia took advantage of it and took pictures of me and my foot

you see she had to document this unusual day where i was more accident prone than her-the queen of accidents

then moving towards the place we were supposed to assemble was terrible

it was a long long way hopping on one foot

i swear after this injury my right leg muscles will be so much stronger

there was this whole weird thing with ferly, greg and the badge

very weird .. very dejavu

after that through the pain and hobbling i still went to town to have lunch.. haha i should be given a medal man

after lunch went down to the doctor with ferly

another funny incident

doc: were u playing netball or something?

me: no floorball

doc: so u went like this *complete with hand movement as if she was catching a ball in the air* and you went down?

haha she obviously had no idea what was FLOORball

but she was nice..

and i missed dinner in town with my mom and her frens cos of my ankle

i'll be stuck at home for the rest of the long weekend too

like GRE-AT

oh man my mom will be all da da da when she comes back....

ok i shall go watch friends first..

thanks to all who helped me yep!

ferly, jolynn,javier,alicia,syima,juan etc..

2005-05-19T20:30:00.000+08:00

couldn't enter my classroom in the morning cause our dear javier who was holding on to the key was absent
so we were left without a classroom for about half a day until ms teh called javier's home

ms teh: javier! we don't have the key.. can you come down with the key?
javier: huh do you know i'm not in school? i'm at home!
haha that's javier for you and to think he just turned 18... tsk tsk

actually he said something else that was real dumb few days back too but i just can't seem to remember ..

but it was quite fun having lessons out of the classroom though.. very disruptive!

and i cut 5 periods of school to join my mom for a buffet and a movie
i love doing such things once in awhile
amityville horror is actually quite scary
and when i say scary you can trust me that its scary

but a dog was axed to death in the movie : (

ms teh gave us a magazine bout studying in australia which i spent most part of the day flipping through

hah i wanna study in australiaaaaaa

i'm sooo hard working..i'm like on colac downloading suplementary stuff

our bio discussion board is quite funny cos mr goh is having a discussion with himself

he's asking questions to start a discussion but noone is joining in the discussion.. hur hur

oh and have i mentioned how much i love rainy mornings

one because i get to sleep in for another 10 mins

and 2 because u can be strolling into school at 8 am

actually they're both kinda linked la

and the forecast for tomorrow, our sports carnival: heavy rain with thunderstorm

so bring your brollys guys!

2005-05-18T20:42:00.000+08:00

whee today was my last bio spa skill a

skill a sucks monkey ass la, like seriously

ok so apparently, the last last last spa i'm ever gonna have for the rest of my life is going to involve a living organism.. i'm super super scared its gonna be a lizard

and i saw an extra huge chameleon in school today i even took a photo of it

but since i didnt dare go near it, it looks really small in the photo so it doesnt look all that scary anymore

i'm sooo looking forward to friday! sports day then long week end. hell yeah!

i thot i would be more free after the drama thing but now i've got a camp to plan..

how to study like that.. grr

and he keeps calling/msging me to get this done that done -today he called me 6 times la and msged me 4 times.. like get off my back alreadyyy

ok maybe i shouldn't be complaining cos it's my job afterall but sometimes it gets frustrating

and i keep telling him that we should get this done asap then he's all like no not now, then suddenly he's rushing me for all the info

i'm want to watch coach carter or any movie actually .. maybe tomorrow!
