Chill out

Went out with lilin yesterday night and tonight will be going to eat Thai express at esplanade with tifen. love Thai express pineapple rice (though I really don't eat the pineapples =) Managed to worm my way out of a potentially horrible new year's eve dinner/countdown with people I really don't like.

Informal New Year Resolutions (since I hardly ever keep to real resolutions)
1. Study/Listen/Actually Go for lectures/do Tutorials (think A Levels, shit)
2. Don't go crazy over anything.

Can't actually think of more. Life is quite good at the moment. And I realised it yesterday, that when my life sucks at any moment in time, or when I'm particularly in upset or something, I immediately call people up and whine/cry/complain/talk-incoherently with them and I continue calling them one by one until I actually feel fine. So different from all those people who would just "emo" the day away. haha. I probably would kill myself if I sat at the beach alone any day!

My room is extremely dusty and hence, I'm going to vacuum it like right now! Then I need to do my nails and find all my lost clothes around somewhere and maybe play a bit of wii.

18 days to 18 =)

Back in Action!

Finally back from Bangkok! Reached home at 12 plus am, and experienced first hand the stupid new taxi fare thing, it jumps like free! And towards the end of the flight, had turbulence, I like roller coasters, but its a no-no for turbulence , though they actually feel the same. Then I had a VERY VERY weird dream last night/this morning. And sorry to lots of people because I didn't buy much things back for all of you, I tell you, the trip was distressing at times. Going Bangkok shopping with family is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from going with team-mates. yes that I theoretically had an almost unlimited budget, but hey, I bought like much less stuff than either last year and the year before. It was nice I guess but really stressful at times. Obviously people got irritated with one another, my family has very clashing personalities but we operate well most times, so we all agreed that our next trip would be the resort/rest and relax kind, no more shopping trips. well done.

Pictures will come up later, after I go get my doggie back =) And then it's back to clothes washing/hanging, I refuse to do the stupid ironing. stupid me tried ironing the other day: It was some vj shirt, so I ironed the front first, after feeling very happy that it was super wrinkle-free, I looked at the back of the shirt and "discovered" lots of wrinkles, so I ironed the back, then the front was wrinkled, so I did this front and back 4 times, then decided that the front was obviously more important than the back and decided to have a wrinkle-free front of the shirt, and a very wrinkled back of the shirt. so after trying on another shirt, I gave up cause it had the same problem and ironing is tiring. then, going out tonight for dinner with lilin at parkway.

And DID YOU REALISE THAT TMR IS NEW YEAR'S EVE?!?!?

Prepare to make your 11:11 wish =)

For Christmas I give to you

Another Pikchure Post!

It's Christmas Day today~ and like many Christmas days, it's a do-not-much-day, it's like Christmas Eve is full of rushing here and there and seeing people then suddenly Christmas is just relax. In this case, relax really means go catch a movie at Cathay, then start packing my bags for Bangkok, STUDY FOR UMPIRE COURSE, sort out my room, and posting all the pictures we took yesterday if not you all will hound me =) And oh ya, I decided not to write Christmas cards anymore! =( cause my arms are aching.

And I really Roculo (or was it Ruculo) leaves in salads. Horrible. 2 days in a row, every salad starter has TONS of that. Someone give me back caesar salads! And carbonara pasta twice in the last 2 days. No more white sauce for at least a week!

So now for the Pikchures! (Maho's house)

trying to look solemn!

She paints her face to hide her face

I have decided to write Christmas cards at the last moment. yup. today is the 23rd of December.

Had some very last minute sleepover at my house yesterday with Lilin, Carmen and Yuqin. And we play Wii and Wii and more Wii, and watch movies. haha. Curse of the golden flower and all that cleavages, then Memoirs of a Geisha this morning/afternoon. We talked and talked and talked till 4am and as usual, Yuqin was the first to arrive at sleepy land, while the 3 of us continued to blabber nonsense for a little while more. Then in the morning, Lilin very mother-ly sliced ham for my breakfast and was very excited about wanting to cook French toast for us which didn't happen in the end. Then Canadian pizza and a lot more Wii. And we had simpang bedok prata for last night's dinner. wonderful.

It is just raining and raining and raining some more..

Throw it away
forget yesterday
we'll make the great escape
we won't hear a word they say
they don't know us anyway

Love me or Let me go.

My bank account shows this:
Balance: $32.79
And oh my god, it's going to stay like that till the very end of December when I get my January's allowance. (This is only theoretical since I obviously won't be able to control myself from buying MORE stuff and spending MORE money on food, hence the balance will actually gravitate towards $0.00) I have 9 ongoing sprees and 3 were joined in the last 5 days. Say Oh my god.

*whining in progress*
And vpost/singpost is PATHETICALLY SLOW. Like my stuff should have reached me by now, and they are no where to be seen! My nail polishes better come today.
*end*

And I've been flu-ish from yesterday and today and my eyes are itchy. I hate dust. One day, I'll invent some dust-busting chemical or something and it will be called some cheesy name like "Dust-away" or "Dust-buster".

Things to do today (which actually means do now!)
1. settle the Christmas party food
2. Study for test on the 26th dec
3. Finish reading my chick lick bookS
4. Wash clothes
5. think about what to eat for lunch
6. Think of ways to cure my nose
7. Clear my room and table and floor and cupboards
8. watch nice tv shows
9. Sleep

Totally de-railed from doing domestic work.

Did practically nothing this morning. Decided I only had the energy to microwave 2 munchy donuts from the fridge for breakfast. Then shopped online and was once again lazy to conjure whatever kind of lunch hence ordered macs at 130pm. Super drama. Right before the delivery person came, I changed into some orientation tee and was looking for my shorts, but guess what? there were none. how wonderful. (mental note: wash more fbt shorts) ran down shorts-less in an attempt to find some dry pair of fbts probably from the batch I washed yesterday when I looked out of the glass door of my house to see the macs delivery person standing outside the gate. *hoping real hard that no one realised I wasn't wearing shorts* found fbts and went to get my lunch. Really had adrenaline rush.

Then feeling guilty about the washing to be done, went to load the washing machine with clothes. After taking out all the clothes from the machine, I realised that THERE WAS NO PLACE TO HANG THE WET CLOTHES. wonderful. so had to take down the dry stuff and piled them in a corner and hung the wet ones. took 5 mins to locate the iron plus the ironing board and another few mins to figure how to open the board. THEN THE IRON STARTED TO DRIP WATER. THEN THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH WATER AND THE STUPID IRON MADE A LOT OF FUNNY NOISES. Ironing attempt #1 = FAILED. Now going to read the manual if not the pile of clothes is going to grow. And do you need to iron panties and board shorts? And omg, my little brother's underwear has green and blue dinosaurs on it.

I'm too lazy to get out of the house.

Will blog about my attempt #2 and about the stupid latest cycle of ANTM later...

Don't over-kill.

I officially washed 1 basket of clothes today with 2 more staring at me and possibly another half basket or so by tmr night. I swear I will think twice every time I change into a different set of clothes and everything. (imagining the amount of washing I will have to do the next day...) Will go search for the iron tmr. Then will be camping at sihui's house to sleep tmr and Friday night. I don't want to be here alone =( even my doggie is not here. Went to see him at the pet shop today, and brought him for a walk. At least he didn't look as sad as he did yesterday. And then today so strange, Lilin came to my house to study, while I slept on the sofa. haha.

Will be family-less from 630am tmr morning which is quite sad. and I think I'm supposed to continue washing clothes and ironing and drying them tmr. I really hate being alone. Imagine home alone.

And did I mention I'm practically going to be broke again. Don't ask me how. Plus I'm so not done shopping yet. =(

It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive

Tommorrow, I'm...

Going to wake up at 7am to wash clothes. If I actually remember how to operate the washing machine?!?! So many instructions and turning knobs and powders and softener and switches and separate the colours and wait for 5 mins before opening the washing machine. Wish me loads of luck. I am already positively sure I'll never be some domestic goddess. And if I have time, I'll be hanging the clothes. Doubt anything can go wrong with hanging the clothes. It's just hang on bamboo poles. This sucks. And if I'm still alive when I get home from briefing and the clothes decide to dry by then, I suspect I'll try to iron them. Key word is try. Once again, the iron sounds very complicated and all my maid did was brief me how to use the washing machine and iron in 5 minutes. And she's not coming back till January 4th or plus minus 1 day. And I'll be home alone from Thursday morning till Saturday afternoon. At least my mummy and I stocked up the fridge today. Food to last me up till a week, unless I pig out and eat lots in one go. Somehow I get the feeling I'll be eating funny stuffs for dinner on Thursday. I might try to eat at home and figure out how to cook something, after I learn how to on the stove. I swear next time my house will have electric stoves, just turn some knob and it gets hot.

And my heart broke when I sent my doggie to the pet shop to stay. He kept grabbing my arm and had to be pried away by the shop owner. Then he looked so sad that tears just came. But I'm going to visit him tmr. If not he'll think that we abandoned him. And on Thursday and hopefully on saturday and everyday till I leave for Bangkok on the 26th. He's really like my baby boy and he whined like free and looked so upset that we left him there.

I have 3 strawberry chocolate donuts and 2 Oreo donuts from munchys waiting for me in my fridge. Lovely. =)

sudden bout of killer flu

I'm going to become some fat pig cause I ate so much today and yesterday.

And today was a WONDERFUL day (extremely sarcastic). I learnt my lesson. Never ever play a competition without your own bat.

I still can't decide what to do on Thursday.

I need to cut my nails and repaint them.

My nose is dying.

Training tmr morning and I'm supposed to go find a present by tmr night.

And I think sitting at star bucks and reading a nice book with your frapaccino is as good as lying on your own bed and reading a book.

Munchy strawberry chocolate donuts and oreo donuts are absolutely wonderfully delicious.

I think I'm going to learn pilates.

My nose is still dying.

The online shopping page just hung on me.

And oh shit. I'm supposed to be watching soccer now. shit.

Into everything shiny.

It has been a crazy week. Been out every freaking day since Monday and I'm dead tired. next week will be a LITTLE better if I stop filling up all my days with ten thousand things to do. I don't even have the energy to shop online since last Sunday. at least my wallet is happy =) not for long though I think.

Anyway, I realised how fast December is passing. It's about half gone and soon it'll be Christmas and then New Year. I haven't even gotten used to writing 2007 and it's going to become 2008. haha.

After talking to china loo today, (haha), I decided to make sure I will take note to not change. haha. and we have very amusing chats.

I'm so not looking forward to tmr. wonderful.

You were all the things that I thought I knew

I know it's only 9 something pm but I'm like bloody tired. add sleepy in too.

I can't even remember what I did yesterday except that people have been calling me two mornings in a row (causing me to wake up at 9am) to tell me not very significant things that will change my life major-ly or sth. This causes me to wake up irritated and not being able to get back to sleep. Like how I had some dream that I was going to some Thailand university and somehow I hated it and wanted to come back to Singapore but my mummy told me that she had no money to buy me a plane ticket home?!?!?! very distressing in dream but totally had secretly laughed when I woke up and remembered about my very funny dream.

So I'm extremely sleepy at this moment, that I'm not even bothering to look at stuff to buy online or even check out some cool-sounding discounts on the DBS website. That will be relegated to tmr night's job, if I even survive the lesson till 10pm at toa payoh. and because there is training tmr, and I left my bat with zonghe accidentally (well-done), I have to go and get it at 730am tmr morning, like what an un-godly hour to be out and about. Then go home, and then go back to school by 1030am. I feel exhausted just thinking about it. At the very least, my air con is fixed, so you all won't hear me complaining about my-air con- which-blows-hot-air, but my mummy is threatening that she'll start cutting my allowance to pay for the air con bill because it's a crazy $600. (but obviously she won't) $600 can buy 6 of the pretty top shop dress, or a shih tzu puppy, or 3000 twenty cent flag erasers or 600 cans of drink. I think it's a bloody waste of money but oh well. I really need the air con. so I can't complain.

Today, I realised I have never eaten Carl's juniors and something else which I can't remember at the moment. So we shall eat that on our next outing. =) and oh ya, ate kenny's AGAIN. I suspect it's the millionth time in the last 30 days. And I have a craving for ice cream. yi fong finally brought the chick lick books for me to read, so thanks!

Almost forgot, I'm going to Bangkok again! from the 26th to 29th of December. Shop, eat, massage, shop, eat, drink. and before that, I need people to come my house to camp or actually I need houses to camp in because my family is going Malaysia next week I think. And I cannot imagine sleeping in my house alone. The police can probably find me dead from fright the next morning or something. Scared of the dark, ghosts(?), cockroaches, burglars, you name it.

My teeth hurts, though it might not hurt tmr, like it hurt on Sunday but not yesterday. I'm scared of dentists. I'd rather go to doctors or something. But somehow I think its inevitable. Monday I think. hopefully.

This is a very long post for a tired person. And I haven't posted this kind of post in a LONG LONG TIME.

Good night!

And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending.

1 day, 1 week, 1 month

This is just going to be a post full of thank you's. I don't know how it's possible, or maybe it's just for the next few hours, but who cares, I actually feel happy and very loved by all of you.

Thanks to Isabelle Loo who sounded retarded singing the horlicks and the vegetable song just to make me laugh and talking to me yesterday.

Thanks to Theodore Han who just listened to me cry for god knows how many hours yesterday night/this morning and for the all consoling you had to do which probably made you depressed in the end.

Thanks to Teo Sihui who practically kept me occupied from 11am to 7pm today talking about stupid stuff and having lunch and doing the volunteer thing at toa payoh.

Thanks to Liang Lilin (see I finally spelt your name correctly) for having dinner with me and talking from 7pm to 10pm and having to sit under the dripping long john's air con, and of course the nice doughnut which I will eat for breakfast tmr.

Thanks to you all making the first 24 hours so much more bearable.

And of course, thanks to, for the last 7 months, which I must admit, will be hard to forget.

Everywhere to me

I will never ever club the night before training again. Was like a zombie during training, and didn't bring the stupid key to open the room for the balls and nets. And I was late for training when pamela suddenly called me and told me everyone was in the hall already, was still wondering why she tell me that for what until she told me that the key was with me. Snapped out of zombie mode for awhile to panic and long story after that. Then did PT. Sorry. Actual training was horrible, it's like your brain is lazy to think, your hands and legs refusing to listen to your brain (which isn't working well in the first place) At first still okay, then after awhile, you start to feel your muscle ache damn badly and you'd wished you haven't danced so much.

Yesterday (more of today then yesterday though) was fun. by the time we actually got there was like 11 plus, and still had to queue, the bouncer obviously knew I was using someone else's card, see so long and stare at the card then stare at me, but oh well, at least he let me in. Then went to mambo, which was filled with people. Had a Martini and something which till now I have zero idea of what it was. danced around a bit with tifen, but stopped halfway cause she couldn't stand having her BIG bag with her. so went to phuture to wait to put our stuff into lockers and ended up in phuture dancing after that. carmen choy refused to go dance with us and to squeeze with everyone. then we went to have another round of drinks and more dancing at phuture, this time with carmen and I got home at 5am, slept at almost 6am. And the freaking taxi fare was $20. wonderful. Now I have very painful toes, leg muscles, arm muscles and god knows whatever else, plus a stupid headache. And no, I didn't get drunk, no where near it. The drinks barely had any vodka or whatever taste in them. Ribena vodka was more ribena tasting.

and sorry to all the people I snapped at from like 11am onwards. I desperately need to sleep.

Just tell me how I got this far,
Please tell me why you're here and who you are.
Cause every time I look you're never there,
And every time I see you're always there.

sshh... Don't tell anyone!

it has finally stopped raining after practically raining for over 10 hours.

walked in tons of puddles today and got my flip flops soaking wet. it's times like these when I wished I bought a pair of havanias( however you spell them)... did my eyebrows at bedok today, and the lady keep explaining to me about my eyebrow's shape and what kind of shape she's going to make it into. seriously, I don't really care, JUST MAKE IT NICE. haha. but she was really nice and talked to me a lot. then I was at watsons to grab a tube of mascara, and I asked the cashier if I could pay by mastercard. then he happily explained that can and that watsons doesn't have any minimum etc. everyone is so talkative today. Not that I mind anyway.

going to mambo later! =)

KRISPY KREME

Okay. Today turned out to be a quite fun but silly day =) First had training this morning, only me and pamela and some ngee ann sec people. Then we realised we had to carry all the stupid tables from the dusty store room under the grand stand. And lilin helped with the manual labour. Haha. Then coach kind of scolded me for being a bit off today. make me feel damn bad again. then went to bathe in school! I tell you, training in school is WONDERFUL! It takes me only 20 mins to get to school from home, and there are showers and semi-clean toilets with mirrors (unlike kallang) But the great thing was that pamela forgot to bring insides to wear after bathing, and I on the other hand, forgot to bring a shirt but brought panties and everything =) haha. So pamela lent me her aquila house tee which is M size. Huge for me. Then went out with lilin to bugis (3RD TIME IN 1 WEEK) to go make some pretty thing and have lunch with Theodore (who was supposed to intro me to hot guys some day.) We went to eat food court (AGAIN) because my mee hoon kuay craving was acting up again! And of course we kind of on budget =) Then I convinced both of them to eat the pepper lunch express thing! looks super nice! then another silly thing. the shop auntie ask me what my order was, and I actually said Ban Mian Mee Hoon Kuay. Then she looked bewildered and ask me whether I dao4 di3 want ban mian or mee hoon kuay. hey, not really my fault. Lots of people actually think ban mian is a kind of soup noodle or something. =) okay, and I bully Theodore into treating drinks and carry my one dozen KRISPY KREME DONUTS around! It actually survived a 7 hour flight from Australia and then 4 hours of shopping in bugis and orchard the squeezy mrt ride to tanah merah and is now safely in my fridge =) If I get fat, I know who to go after. after lunch and some walking, lilin went home to study (STUDY HARD OKAY) and we continued off to orchard because somebody had prom at 7pm and was still shoeless at 3 pm. so went to taka to buy them and it costs a bomb. then I went to orchard mrt's popular book store to go buy the driving theory book =) so I'm very happily reading it and I can't decide which donut to eat first. I'm going to study hard and hopefully learn driving before A levels. though I doubt it's possible since there's still season next year. I shall upload the picture of the donuts later! Lots of people kept looking at my krispy kreme donuts on the mrt. they stalking my donuts =)

Going to watch enchanted at tamp tmr with my little brother (I think) and we're going to go crazy shopping for Christmas presents =)

just got back from swissotel the stamford. after getting very very lost in raffles city. I'm tired and sleepy. for now...

movie star

Decided that the post I just posted was a little irrational. so deleted it and here's another whinny one.

Can't understand how come everyone has so much stuff to do then I like have nothing to do. then I realise that I went out everyday for the last 10 days. and now I can still feel like I have nothing to do. okay. but next week just became very extremely nothing to do. Monday only morning training. Tuesday absolutely nothing, Wednesday nothing again, Thursday afternoon training then Friday farewell. plans change very fast. High possibility of dying of boredom next week since EVERYONE IS SUPER BUSY. Maybe I should go borrow some books from some library and be more intellectual or attempt to read through ionic equilibria for the first time.

Yes, bad muscle aches now.
