For the record, I did my chinese name analysis at this website:

http://www.fatemaster.tw/name.php?n1=?&n2=??&button2=??

'cos people have been asking and its been quite accurate so far, give it a try guys!

finally the end of Part 1 of the BH325 torture. The presentation that caused me a proper night's slp. yeah, it was definitely better than expected!

right now, work's clearing up. which also means... time for revision gal. so while baby is busy doing up his project & preparing for his papers, I think I shld be a gd gal too...

Saw Xiuhui's flashback albums on our France trip and again, it brought back so much memories. I miss the place so! She was surprised that I could recognise the scenery from outside the pantry window in our motel. It was quite random. But I rem 'cos we spent quite a lot of time there, chatting and laughing while waiting for our food and water to cook. And how Veron tried so hard to teach Vincent(pronounced vung-sung in French, lol) how to say some French words properly. It was also where we met students like us. But from lemme recall, Israel or somewhere near there. And we had interesting lil' chats about our own country and the food that we're cooking. You noe, they check out our instant noodles and we check out their fries and stuff.

all in that stinky lil' pantry!

I wonder when can I go back again?

I hope I didn't get your name wrong, but the first point itself already damn accurate.

The analysis of my chinese name that I got out of a website... Interesting. Certain things are quite true, but some are too extreme!

the long weekend... my initial plan, as I told Qiuru, was that I'm gonna try studying 311 on sunday! woots.

I didn't.

procrastinator! hahaha. I sorta convinced myself that this is the only break b4 the exams. And most likely after this weekend, the rest of the week will be spent on the 325 report again. so... watched CSI on tudou! and also met Gladys & co (xiaomei, I gotta be fair, hahaha) and also Jer dear.

last night I abided by the 1am rule. I thought my mum was asleep, but she scare the hell out of me by standing there silently at the window. what the hell. I just watched horror film and she's like scaring the guts out of me. I wasn't late, so she can't say anything. bleah. haha.

talk about Qiuru, her new phone Samsung F480 is uber nice! The few times I think pink is pretty on a phone. gosh.

Eric showed me this newspaper clipping that he said will be sure to make me boil. And boy, was he right!

And its a shame to see that she's from NTU, although I'm sure she's not the last one of this kind out there.

How insensitive, selfish and conceited is that? 'Doesn't understand why her friend has to get a part time job and cannot ask her parents for money.'

ARGH. Year 1 student... I hope she gets a reality check. Maybe this recession wont worry her, how about the next? I really hope she gets a feel of what its like for someone to worry about bills and stuff, and not if you're getting that damn bag or hp. YUCKS, I hope I don't run into her in school.

This is the next generation we have?

I'm home. at 8.42pm.

Happy?





From now on, I think I will hate Fridays during term time. I need to find things to occupy the dreadful evenings. Maybe I shld make Fridays my 'Watch Heroes' Day so I have sth to look forward to.



These two days have seen serious cases of people who care too much, and people who care too little.

And both types get on my nerves.

this shall be quite a random post. while rushing out the report with my group over the past few days, there were many fleeting thoughts I wanted to pen down but just had no time to. And yeah, now that I can finally sit in front of my com and type to my content, the writing inspiration is gone. Only more recent events are on my mind!

anyway, Wednesday I decided to steal some time out of my evening to have dinner with Jer. Super full! We ate at the market near ah heow's house :P and 'cos of Jeremy's sudden craving for beer, I had my first beer at a hawker center. haha! always wondered what it was like to drink like those ah pek and aunties and the coffeeshop. I had my first-hand experience that night!

oh and he made a drink from bailey's and some coffee liquor which was woots! very nice! (: we watched this korean movie called Old Boys which is totally... 乱! I don't watch korean drama/movies cos I find them draggy and this one has a plot that involves incest. haha, not really my type of movie. But one lesson learnt, 谣言的破坏力很大!

and silly me hurt my leg again ): yesterday I was leaving school after a long editing with my friends. and I was chatting with Jer while walking down the S4 stairs when suddenly I just find myself half-sitting on the stairs. It was damn lucky that I was holding the handrail for support. I was like still in the middle, could have just rolled my way down for all I know. The strange thing was, the stairs wasn't wet, I was wearing flats... so how did I fall?

No, it is not because I was too engrossed with my conversation with Jer that I fell. Anyway, because of this fall, I realised sth about myself. About how self-conscious I actually am!

The first thing I told Jer when I recovered myself (besides telling him I just fell) was...


Heng ah, no one saw me fall! So embarrassing!

as much as I want to do well for our BH325 report, I am honestly getting sick and tired of doing nothing much except it the whole day.

it could be that after a day of cooping up at home and just editing and stuff, I don't feel like touching it anymore. at least, not for today. I can't really throw it aside can I? ):

so my therapy for the week is dinner with Jer tml... sth to look forward to at the end of a long day *smiles

talking about Jer, Eric introduced a song 'I'm Yours' also by Jason Mraz (which was what led to the previous post). I've heard that song before, and everytime I hear it, it never fails to bring the mental image of a sunny island and white sandy beaches. and it makes me wanna go on a holiday!

which reminded me of how me & Jer used to build castles in the air when I was still on internship in the company. We just went on and on about our ideal holiday. which is to take time off and travel in Europe! while we travel we could also work for the money to help in the expenses. And it'll be so cool, don't you think? We even worked out how he could work in the kitchen and I'll be a waitress in a restaurant. haha!

Then I can bring him to the places I visited in Paris and go on to many more that I've yet discovered.

God, I miss France and those days...

won't forget the smile on his face when he wants me to listen to this song. kept telling me its funny and I was wondering how funny can a song be that makes him smile so.


I dunno how come its a Disney MV, but tot its cute! haha.

Lucky - Jason Mraz

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh


So yeah, there you go, that's the thing he wanna show me... and yes, I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend

Btw, he has some other nice songs too! (:

just had a chat with my dearest cousin while he was driving. oops. but somehow I was expecting him to talk to me since its my final year. yeah, he always try to think of viable ways out for me, what are my options are and tell me what he thinks is best for me.

Kor says that in times of recession, either you get underpaid or you get shitty work, haha. And he asked me to seriously consider...

Taking my Masters.

*drops jaw

Actually, I never really considered as one of the alternatives after graduation, not in the near future. Because my priority is to go out there, get a job and help to support the family. Masters is way too expensive. Something I'll consider after a few years at work. And I think if I haven't been in the corporate world, haven't seen the world, I probably won't be able to appreciate the program that much?

But what he said does makes sense, I shld really consider doing my Masters now that the opportunity costs are lower.

Kor also pre-empted this. And he told me that he will support me, financially and emotionally. He offered to talk to my parents about this option if I want to go for it, and is afraid that my parents may not see it our way.

My dearest cousin have always been more of a father than a cousin to me all these years. His own daughter is in her final year in Poly, so naturally he is worried about both of us.

Now the question boils down to: what do I want?

Honestly, I would prefer to work first... I'll have to talk to my cousin about how I feel the next time then (:


P.S: You won't see this... But thanks kor, love ya...

am compiling my report right now and decided to blog about my eventful weekend on and off to give myself breaks. away from formatting, aligning, copying and pasting. so here's how my weekend started, right from Thurs! *warning: long, picture-heavy entry ahead*


Thursday
Impromptu dinner with Jer

its been some time since we did grocery shopping together, and I always like our trips to King Albert Park's Cold Storage. somehow, strolling down e aisles of food items and finding the things we want together is sweet to me (:

and needless to say, dinner was good. Jeremy and his sisters discovered yet another thing I don't like. PAPAYAS. hey, I'm not really a 'no'-person. I love lots of other fruits like apples, mangos, jackfruit, etc!


Friday
Wan Ting's Birthday, Waraku HMV

the first friday I spent with my uni friends instead of Jer and I still had alot of fun! (: our dear Wan Ting added another year of wisdom on Friday and we met up for dinner at Waraku, HMV. actually I'm real glad everyone turned up because we all know how busy each of us is at this time of the semester. lots of cam-whoring and laughter. I think we are easily the noisiest table around. hehe.


as usual we are spoilt for choices and had a hard time deciding what to eat.







eh, I didn't expect to find new friends like you, qiuru etc since its our final year alrdy. we shld continue this 'chemistry' that we have with each other ya? haha, thks for the many laughs you brought to me gal... happy birthday once again. may you have many more enjoyable birthdays like this! :P




Saturday
Jazz by the Beach with Jeremy <3

yep, this was the date I said we planned long ago (: so I got off my project meeting a bit earlier to meet Jer for our night at the beach. This time round its different 'cos we are taking the monorail in. haha!



the music was good! the food was not bad as well, though it would have been better if we got a table. we set our platter on a chair and eat it under a coconut tree while the 'cool jazz at Cool Deck' played. haha. but its still a new experience and I love it! (:

and the singers actually asked for dancers on the floor quite a few times. somehow it seems that ang mohs were more spontaneous. well, I cant dance for nuts. 木头人一个.





looking at the pics, I'm reminded of how we havent taken pics for some time now. Shall take more during this hols! Thanks for the night baby!


Sunday
Meeting with the HYPE gals

we started the discussion at some restaurant in Dhoby Gaut Xchange 'cos of the pouring outside. I didn't eat cos I had a heavy breakfast before going, but the restaurant seems pretty good. Less than 10 bucks a person and they got free flow drinks and ice cream too. The herbal chicken soup/rice was quite yummy too... sounds gd right? :P

as usual, lots of cam-whoring. hehe. love you gals! you make this course much more fun (and make me forget CCHH - guess who?)





and ta-da... nostalgia led us to taking neoprints at the arcade in Dhoby Gaut station. some of my fave shots of the day:

I hate confrontations and those kind of iron-things-out talks. but it looks like I have to initiate one soon.

her 比大姨妈还要准的 phonecalls momentarily put a damper to my saturday night out. and its always the same few sentences. yesterday night I let her rambled while I was frowning into the phone, figuring that its better to let her say her own piece than trying to reason out with her at that moment.

I know my late nights out have became a friday weekly routine. but I am still doing my work, rushing out my reports and dutifully attending my meetings. Because I want to truly enjoy those nights out I make sure that what needs to be done gets done.

rather than waiting for the time to talk about it (which will probably be on my next late night out) I will find a chance to talk to her about this... I don't like to leave problems hanging in mid-air, unsolved or avoided. and I really don't wish to let her obstinate, backward thinking affect our relationship.

just hope to talk without having it escalate into a quarrel. I have to keep my temper in check, no matter how unreasonable I think she is!

and you've been putting up with this all this while, without any complains. thanks baby.

In my Psychology and HR modules, we often read about how graphology (handwriting analysis) has virtually no validity in recruitment, predicting job success etc. So naturally I'm quite surprised at how accurate the analysis of my handwriting is when I took it at this website recommended by Jer:

http://www.handwritingwizard.com/analysis.php


Shuhui is moderately outgoing. Her emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, she can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. She has the ability to put herself into the other person's shoes.

Shuhui will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes she will be happy, the next day she might be sad. She has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because she is in between. Psychology calls Shuhui an ambivert. She understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, she will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." She doesn't sway too far one way or the other.

When convincing her to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to her. She puts herself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet she will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. Shuhui is an expressive person. She outwardly shows her emotions. She may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story.

Shuhui is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. She weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when she finally has to. She basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue. People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Shuhui doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

Shuhui will demand respect and will expect others to treat her with honor and dignity. Shuhui believes in her ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. She has a lot of pride.

Shuhui will be candid and direct when expressing her opinion. She will tell them what she thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want her opinion, don't ask for it!

In reference to Shuhui's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Shuhui slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project.

She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Shuhui can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.

Shuhui's true self-image is unreasonably low. Someone once told Shuhui that she wasn't a great and beautiful person, and she believed them. Shuhui also has a fear that she might fail if she takes large risks. Therefore she resists setting her goals too high, risking failure. She doesn't have the internal confidence that frees her to take risks and chance failure. Shuhui is capable of accomplishing much more than she is presently achieving. All this relates to her self-esteem. Shuhui's self-concept is artificially low. Shuhui will stay in a bad situation much too long... why? Because she is afraid that if she makes a change, it might get worse. It is hard for Shuhui to plan too far into the future. She kind of takes things on a day to day basis. She may tell you her dreams but she is living in today, with a fear of making a change. No matter how loud she speaks, look at her actions. This is perhaps the biggest single barrier to happiness people not believing in and loving themselves. Shuhui is an example of someone living with a low self-image, because their innate self-confidence was broken.

Shuhui is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.

Shuhui is very self-sufficient. She is trying not to need anyone. She is capable of making it on her own. She probably wants and enjoys people, but she doesn't "need" them. She can be a loner.

For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space. If the inputted data was correct Shuhui has left lots of white space on the left side of the paper. Shuhui fills up the rest of the page in a normal fashion. If this is true, then Shuhui has a healthy relationship to the past and is ready to move on. The right side of the page represents the future and Shuhui is ready and willing to get started living now and planning for the future. Shuhui would like to leave the past behind and move on.

*edited

So basically... I am moody, have low self-esteem, is sacarstic but I can also be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate. And sometimes I sit on the fence and likes to wear other people's shoes. Seeing all this in one sentence makes me sounds like a psychopath or a very extreme person... LOL.

I am as normal as you, don't worry! :P

my pet's currently sleeping in Jeremy's pet's house now. somehow my pet 'visited' and I just left the screen on to do other stuff and they both ended up sleeping on the floor. so sweet! haha.

anyway, the combination of an afternoon nap plus my fave coffee led to me slping badly last night. yet surprisingly this morning I find myself relatively 'awake' for the seminar. well of cos I yawned, but we all know its cos the seminar is boring :X

this weekend will be, once again, packed with meetings. but I am glad on that on Saturday I'll be meeting Jer for a much-needed break away from books, research and the laptop. one which we planned long ago thru' a sweet sms (: I seriously hope that we'll be able to end in the late afternn to work on the report back at home, so I won't feel so bad leaving them. which is why, to alleviate my 'guilt' I alrdy proposed to compile the draft report. yeah, compiling is a heavy responsibility but it is worth it...

最近的心情仿佛在坐过山车 起起落落
不是因为大姨妈 只是周围发生了一些事

而它们都一直在提醒着我
不管是人, 事, 或物

要珍惜

怎么说呢... 其实朋友曾经告诉我
她羡慕我有个天天在家里为我们煮饭的妈妈
因为她的父母工作很忙 很少可以和一家人一起吃饭

这些我当然知道, 很多东西也看在眼里

她是啰唆 可是那是她表达她的关心的方式
她和我有代沟 但至少我喜欢吃什么, 喝什么 她知道

好吃的让我们吃 也舍不得把钱花在她自己身上

记得弟弟以前出外时老是忘记交代别煮他的晚餐
所以难免会有剩菜 又舍不得倒掉 怎么办呢?

她把隔夜饭煮成粥当早餐吃

但她有胃病啊... 就因此病发
而每次我都会念她 有些钱是不可以省的 不值得

有时真受不了她对自己这么苛刻, 也忍不住说了她


所以... 即将毕业了... 难免会感觉到无形中的压力
因为想减轻他们的负担当而 我也不想辜负表哥他们对我的期望

我还记得 Alice in Wonderland...

没有它 就没有我 (:


*其实我用华语把心情,想法记下来... 往往是因为我想把一些比较private的事赤裸裸地写下. 也许你们读累了, 就不会把它读完. 我也不会觉得好像说了太多

哈哈

好傻的想法!

let's try to forget the fact that I'm pissed off at a certain someone at the moment. here are some overdue pics from my hp.



this was taken on the MRT when we were stuck on the track for quite a few minutes. somehow that train ride was filled with waits and pauses due to some 'technical problem'. I thought its pretty cool that the tankers & stuff were just 'displayed' there for all to see in STK's grounds. haha... but its not v clear cos its thru the glass tho.



Sunday was devoted to video-making for our psychology project. Here's some of the characters in that video :P

for once, I was the bottle to two of my closest friends tonight. and they poured. with so much pouring, I overflowed too. But I'm not regretting it.



'Cos that's what friends are for. My thoughts are with you both, take care...

even before I knew it, the weekend just flew by and its Sunday night. a new week starts tml and it means more work, more deadlines to meet.

yes xiaomei, this is another one of those I-am-so-busy-I-have-no-time posts. but I think this time round it'll be even more hectic 'cos the Training & Development (T&D) project nds a lot of working on it.

actually I came home wanting to do some more work before I slp, but I think let's just leave it for now. tml's quite a long day...

and while being with Jer/Josey & co, I am constantly being reminded that there are a lot of things I dunno:

1. Blade/Ice skate
2. Bowl
3. Play pool

The list happens to be in order of my preference too. somehow I am not that keen on pool? I also dunno why I cant do all these... I just never got the chance to play pool cos it always seemed dark & smoky. but hurting my back badly back in our NH days really gave me a phobia of falling; this explains the blading/ice skating.

nvm, it means more things to do this coming hols! (:

Thursday was our Industry Speakers' Night, the first ever organized by our club. And we're all very happy with the turnout and the lively sharing of ideas by our guest speakers. All were good speakers in their own way, very engaging too... I think if someone outside HR were to attend it, they would be surprised at how interesting HR can be. Not as 'dry' as they thought it to be.

wearing formal wear yesterday brought some thoughts too. its been quite a long time since I wore formal for something as we don't really have to dress up for our recent presentations. its like putting on a different skin. I like the to hear the tap-tapping of my heels as I walk. (hooray, my toe-y's heeled!) And there is one thing I find it hard not to notice - the attention that people give you when you dress up formally.

Be it the salespeople on the streets who thinks that smartly dressed = have spending power, or people in sch. We're so realistic huh?








our 自拍照 by vivian, pro right? :D



some of my most fave people around that night (:



oh ya, after Thurs night, some things were even more apparent now. Some people need alot of EQ... need I say more?

last night I was so tired I wanted to just crash into bed. Wore my contact lens for a record of 16 hours. very bad for my eyes I know. but yeah, its apparent that I am getting reliant on them.

tired but happy.

had a fulfilling day of classes, work & a nice dinner over at Jer's house. Cos it was his little sis's birthday. I guess its about time I get used to this kind of dinners at his house huh? Like what minshan said...

anyway, will be helping around my Prof's research again, this time to digitalize everything in her research. Making sure that every article has a citation in Endnotes (a citation manager) and a soft copy in her hard disk. Oh, talk about her hard disk, its one damn big hard disk. I think it should have a pretty big storage space.

tonight's the Industry Speakers' Night. Quite surprised to find myself looking forward to it... shall take more pics over dinner + networking (not that I like this). ta-da for now

bad luck seemed to have followed me since the start of this week for some unknown reason. my Giro-linked card got blacklisted 'cos of unsuccessful transaction. I had cash that I didn't have time to top up into that account, so when the value was low they automatically tried to 'revalue' it. Since there were insufficient funds, my card was blocked.

Damn it. And all the while I carried the cash with me telling myself that I will go to a cash deposit machine. when I have the time.

Nvm, so I went to the ticketing office to get my card unblocked. guess what? System down. Once, twice, thrice.

All 3 times in 2 days at different stations that I went down to. Turned out that the central system was down. At that point of time I really wished I was had Micah's ability to 'talk' to machines in Heroes. My god. Not only will I unblock the damn card. I will give me and my gd friends first class honours. Not bad idea eh?

Then today of all days, when I'm wearing a white shirt, I chose to drink ice milo when I was in Vivo to do some shopping. And today of all days, the milo decided to seep thru the cap cos it wasn't closed properly.

Thank you. That was my favourite white shirt. ARGH.

So I had to run to the nearest shop, Hang Ten, which was next to the Long John Silver's that I bought the cursed ice milo. And since when did a shirt from Hang Ten cost 49 bucks?! For the material it really isn't worth it man, heavily overpriced. Got myself a blue polo tee instead. at a decent price of cos.

tell me how to break out of this chain of bad luck?

over the weekend, quite a few of my friends turned legal - their big 21. including him. yeah, I did my part in sending a sms with my wishes - one which he did not reply. Honestly, I didn't expect him to. And to say that it didn't bother me would be a lie. And it would be another lie too, if I were to say I don't feel any guilt towards him anymore. Because he was once a gd friend and now that things turned out like this...

as a friend, I just hope he is doing well. And turns out that he enjoyed his 21st in the midst of the company of his friends. which I am glad.

so I'm hoping that with time he can feel better. I won't say heal. we all know things like these doesn't just 'heal with time'.

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

anyway, I've been flipping thru' my baby photos. Brought many smiles to my face seeing my bro and me in those photos. Yellowish with age but still neatly kept in their albums by my mum.

you know what? I miss those family outings we used to have. as kids, as young teenagers. we'll see the entire extended family during weekend trips to sentosa or even just in chinese garden.

and I saw my beloved uncle in the photo, holding me and my nephew (the one who is the same age as me). I miss them!

this record is now at 4 times a week. and this is one record I won't mind breaking *grins*

yeah, its the number of times I saw him this week.

and I realised its not my imagination, his scent really does linger after we hug...

in the midst of my procrastination, I remembered a blog which I read about while at Jer's house a few weeks back. Its actually an article in Reader's Digest that introduces the blog WanderingScribe (www.wanderingscribe.blogspot.com) that is set up by a homeless person in London in her exasperation.

Having lost contact with her family & just stepped out of a failed relationship (which have cost her all her friendships) she was penniless and had to live in her car. She spent about 2 months sleeping in her car every night and slipping into hospitals, churches etc to bath and lived on welfare money. when the loneliness almost drove her crazy she decided to set up a blog so that she can break out of her world and communicate with people. (in case you are wondering, she did it in the public library)

well... I was just recalling how I was telling ZZ and the others while walking to double O that Fri night, of how rich Londoners are. don't forget that there are people on the other extreme end too.

Reading her posts about her plight quite got to me. She was so lonely and helpless, wanting & trying to find help but then shame & dignity made her pulled back. And I cannot imagine surviving on that puny sum of money in Singapore, not to mention London. So how did she manage to find a way out of her homelessness?

shall let you all read yourself to find out.

I've noticed something lately.

my mum don't call me on my late night outs anymore.

*cheers*

ok, I was told by someone before that she is envious my mum bothers to call me when I am out late cos her mum doesn't. And she seemed to take it like her mum doesn't care. I know she does it cos she cares but... ya. I prefer it this way. no mummy rushing her little girl home.

oh, another thing since my bro went to the little island called Tekong. Now we eat out more during weekends, especially Sunday's breakfast cos he seldom can eat what he like inside. wahaha. and of cos I stand to benefit :P

yesterday was sompong's big day and we took it to double o! that guy should be honoured man... there were quite a few of us who were on our first night in a club there :X yeah, including me. haha!

ok firstly even before we reached there some of us were already displaying behaviour that seems to suggest we are already 'drunk'. and we stopped over at Central before taking the long walk to the club. last night my head was in very 'weird' positions when taking photos... ?!?!







shall just let the pictures tell the story. its so difficult to upload photos here with the frequent errors! more on Facebk then... I can only say I kept myelf entertained by watching sompong in his drunken stupor... and occasionally borrowing a cushion/shoulder here n there cos I was tired! and also I think later on in the night, I was hungry and really shouldn't have drunk the beer huh? but I wasn't gone!~ just a lil' high that's all. but its nice of kor to accompany me to the toilet :P thank you!


there's always a first time for everything. and somehow I think this is not going to be the last...

gladys was saying that nowdays I seem to be having a lot of fun. I gather that it was my Mon-Tues out with Jer that I wrote about here... and yeah, indeed (:

a short call, a simple sms is enough to brighten up my day.

yes, been very happy lately.



ever since that night...

thanks baby *hug*

maybe you would have seen/heard this somewhere before... but I heard this from a show I watched on the local TV a few days ago, just want to share (:

In life, there are four things you should never break:

1. Trust
2. Promises
3. Relations
4. Hearts

it seems like these 2 days are to make up for the fun I missed out during the recess. like I said, I went shopping in JB. not much loot but the fact that I could stroll lazily in the mall looking through any shop I want without a care for time or money (ok maybe money yes, I do have a budget!) is a good feeling :P

yesterday night we watched Mirrors. its actually better than I expected, cos the movie review I saw didn't rate it very well. there are 2 things that grossed me out in the movie... the way the main lead's sister died (she was killed by her own reflection who tore her jaw apart in the mirror and died quite horribly) and the howls/screams/cries of one of the character who was sort of possessed by a demon or sth. I shan't say so much abt the movie, in case I unknowingly give out some spoilers... its a horror worth watching! (:

but gee, I really must say... having so much fun makes it harder to settle down and do my work :X
