Everything we had, is no longer there

2009-08-26T06:38:00.000-07:00

Finally all the working at 2 places and multiple kids I've been teaching and late nights have taken their toll on me.
Enduring a temperature of 38.3 degrees is no fun at all, makes me feel like I can't do anything except pop panadols and sleep the entire day ):

2009-07-24T10:11:00.000-07:00

Being able to see Sir Alex, see Rooney, Giggs, Scholes, Van Der Sar, Ferdinand, Berbatov, Owen and co. running around, passing the ball was totally unbelievable and surreal. I stopped trying to take pictures cos' I just wanted to see them in the flesh with my own eyes. Evra and Anderson threw their jerseys into the crowd right beside us, so freaking jealous! And being able to just be around all the Man Utd fans, singing Glory Glory Man United together, booing at people who walked into the stadium in their Liverpool/Chelsea/Arsenal/Man City jerseys, made the journey and the 5 hr wait under the sun and haze all worth it (: It was just awesome to see all the Man Utd fans travel up to KL just to catch the team in action, there was this bond even though everyone was a complete stranger haha. Of course, the shopping didn't go too badly, spent about 800RM in 3 days, oh no I think I'm growing into a shopaholic..

Not as hyped up about seeing Liverpool at the National Stadium on Sunday, seeing that Gerrard's not coming ):

Genting was great too, love the weather there even though it was a little bit colder and mistier than usual, (and the moths were really EVERYWHERE; in the lobby, on the floor, the windows, the ceilings, the eating places etc etc, Flo kept jumping and hiding behind us haha) but no complains at all. Spent a whole day at the theme park (okay maybe not the WHOLE day since I woke up the latest), still didn't dare try the corkscrew and space shot, but at least I tried 2 new rides yes? And ate Baskin Robbins, had peanut butter in every single meal I ate, watched HBP for only 12RM, played bridge whenever we got the chance.. I'm secretly glad that they didn't complain much about having to wait for me to get ready every morning+night since I spend the longest time ever in the bathroom, having to walk to the bus bay with me just because i needed my HL chocolate milk etc (:

Not entirely looking forward to August.. On one hand, can't wait for it to come cos' the 09/10 season will be starting, on the other I'm dreading it cos' it means results will be released.
"It is a seldom argued truth that events anticipated with dread occasion with much greater dispatch than those that do not"- Mr Darcy Takes A Wife by Linda Berdoll. I couldn't agree with this more.

Oh well I guess we always have to come back to reality and accept it.

2009-07-12T10:50:00.000-07:00

Aujourd'hui nous sommes le treize juillet deux mille neuf. Il est deux heures du matin.
French has been fun..(:

KL to see my Man Utd this weekend, and genting over middle of following week. It's only msia, but I just want to get away from here. What with working at Obolo and Cedele, plus tuition after work, I'm kinda tired.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is coming out in 5 days! CANNOT WAIT(: Been trying to finish reading the book before the movie comes out, I guess I like movies only if they follow the book, that's why I didn't like Angels & Demons at all.. In other news, my Roger Federer won his sixth wimbledon title/15th Grand Slam (and more to come) and got back the world number 1 ranking; this after winning his first ever French Open at Roland Garros, this has got to be his year :D

Okay, shall go continue reading HBP now.

So why don't we go, somewhere only we know

2009-06-15T09:10:00.000-07:00

Since the last time I updated,

Roger Federer finally won the Roland Garros French Open to complete a career grand slam, I can only say I am freaking happy for him (:
Have been ogling incessantly at Gu Jun Pyo/Lee Min Ho in Boys Over Flowers
Read two Pride & Prejudice sequels (I just happen to love Jane Austen's P&P)
Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid ): It'll definitely be a loss, but I'm sure Fergie can use that cash to buy a few decent players to boost the squad, so bye CR7!

And of course met up with the people I missed the most (:

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS(:

2009-05-16T08:13:00.000-07:00

It's been awhile, and I didn't want to blog till after 1pm on the 21st, but I can't help it, cos

MAN UTD ARE THE PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS AGAIN :D :D :D

Credit to arsenal for putting up a good fight and taking the game to man utd, but we got that solitary point that we needed to be crowned, so I'm freaking happy!

Glory glory Man United :D

2009-04-08T06:21:00.000-07:00

Sometimes there's a limit to the amount of shit one can take.
If there's one thing I hate, it's having no freedom.

In other news, I can't believe how poorly Man U defended against Porto at Old Trafford. An equaliser in the 89th freaking minute?! If it ended 2-2 at Porto, then I'd have felt more satisfied. But it's at our home ground! It'll be an uphill battle at the away leg, but I know we'll fight till the end (:

I JUST WANT THE EXAMS TO BE OVER AND DONE WITH.

I did nothin'

2009-03-29T07:08:00.000-07:00

Two bad & unlucky days. Consecutively.

Pissed off lor.

2009-03-25T09:29:00.000-07:00

Back!
Disliked everything about KL (weather, traffic, pollution, dirty streets, both Man Utd and Roger Federer lost their matches ARGH) except the hotel and shopping especially the hugeass f21.
Loved everything about Genting (especially breakfast at Old Town(: ) except the hotel.

Revision class starts tmr. This sucks.

Coward ):

I just wanna take a little breather

2009-03-08T08:01:00.000-07:00

Please do these! Haha.

So this week, I:

teoheng-ed with the work girls it was great fun
caught Marley & Me I swear everybody in the cinema cried it was so sad
had half priced gelare chocolate chips waffle with icecream yummm
watched Man Utd put in an awesome team performance in their FA Cup quarter final 4-0 win over Fulham
got through a mathematics paper which was kind of depressing
found out that Steph thinks I'm childish, but my temper has improved since dhs days haha
laughed very hard
got to sleep 10 hours a day
discovered that siglap has my second favourite Starbucks after tampines cos there's Werner's Oven just across the road
kept trying to procrastinate my revision for ibm paper it's the most boring module ever...
had pork shabu shabu and bacon rosti
also had a humongous cup of Gloria Jeans mocha ice blend for only $3
saw my bank account deplete at an alarming rate because of all the online shopping it's becoming an addiction again someone stop me!
didn't get my weekly runs at the reservoir after all the eating ):
met up with people I haven't seen in quite a while (:

Okay okay should hit the books soon..

It was you and me against the world

2009-02-25T07:57:00.000-08:00

Haven't been able to get my exercise at the reservoir these few days cos of the rain it's so irritating. But I saw a rainbow today after the rain! I hope it's a good sign (:

I'm not supposed to be here since my prelims start on friday.. but the notes're boring with a capital B zzz.

Man Utd 0 Inter Milan 0

I suppose it's a not bad scoreline since the San Siro isn't the easiest place to play at. Hopefully Old Trafford will be where we'll be truimphing over Mourinho :D

And this is what we do when we're bored at work (:

It's CNY again (:

2009-01-28T10:06:00.000-08:00

The first two days have been fun , running to so many places as usual. They all came over last night at 8 plus pm and we had two tables of mj going on till 2 plus 3 am, with dad and I having home ground advantage at our respective tables and winning the most cash HAHA. My cousins can be so funny; wenhao korkor lao-ed the beehoon instead of the yusheng cos he mistook the beehoon for a plate of similar coloured yusheng right beside it (when almost 20 other people were happily tossing the yusheng as high as possible all around him), I laughed till I teared.. I'm easily amused haha.

I never felt hungry throughout the two days, they've been full of eating and eating.. Steamboat-CNY goodies-lunch-CNY goodies-dinner-CNY goodies-steamboat- and it goes on. And there're still at least 2 more steamboats to go.. Need to get exercise soon!

Despite the recession, quantity of angbaos hasn't decreased as much as I expected, but haven't opened them yet, so not sure about the quality.. haha.

And to add to all these, my Roger Federer put up an amazing display of tennis and thrashed Del Potro 6-3 6-0 6-0 in the quarters, while Man Utd thrashed WBA 5-0 and set a new record of 11 consecutive (and counting, hopefully) BPL clean sheets :D :D :D

Miss Independent

2009-01-20T06:44:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I'm amazed at how I malu myself in the most ridiculous ways. Like getting stuck in the fitting room because the lock was stuck and calling out for help when there was a long queue outside waiting to use the fitting room HAHA.

I think as we grow older, we tend to increasingly not mind doing certain things alone. I think we all need space and time to ourselves sometimes.

There're approximately 3.5 more hours to kill until Man U-Derby at Old Trafford at 4am later. So thoughts may get more incoherent..

My p1 tutee can really get on my nerves at times. But the other day I came home to find a long awaited box all the way from Basel, Switzerland, it made me :D

Man Utd are top of the table now, with one game in hand, I know they will stay there till end May (: And my Federer got off to the AO with a good win, not the best tennis from him, but I'll be supporting him all the way in his bid for a 14th Slam (: And he got a new haircut, so cute hahaha. I think I must spend half my time watching ManU and Federer matches, but it's worth it, nothing can stop me from supporting them HAHA. Buddy, we better plan a trip to KL in July soon to see our United in action!

Today Jeremy printed 35 copies of the same few pages of notes because the notes got stuck in the machine/the ink was too light/he missed out a few lines etc, we must've spent so much time at the photocopying room laughing at our noob-ness, at least I did, it was hilarious! Thinking of it makes me laugh already hahaha.

Today is also Barack Obama's inauguration! Amazing how it's turned into a global phenomenon eh. The world's most powerful man's going to have so much to deal with though.

Try to leave the light on when I'm gone

2009-01-10T09:05:00.000-08:00

Sugar overload @ Conrad's! Just looking at them makes me drool already.

Dad's 50th just before 2009- one cake for each decade (:

And the last few moments of 2008+first few days of 2009 have been spent with people who matter, so (:

My Roger Federer has been beaten by Andy Murray again, but no matter cos the Australian Open is where it really matters and I have faith in RF (:
Mouth watering Man United-Chelsea clash at Old Trafford coming up!
Schl's started, but it's been pretty slack so far. Exams are a headache though..
HAVE TO GO BACK TO TANJONG RHU AND SEE DHS SOON. And eat the most awesome canteen food yay.
CNY's coming, but not exactly that excited, really. Only looking forward to the angbaos, mostly, haha. But from the way the economy looks, not sure if haul will be as good as previous years boo.
Most impt New Year resolution: MUST run at least twice a week if time and weather permit, if not at least once, and try not to get so easily irritated by annoying/kiasu/inconsiderate/crazy public transport commuters lol.

This Christmas..

2008-12-26T03:39:00.001-08:00

Oops, abit late. But still..

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY BOXING DAY :D

My Man Utd's finally going to be back in action later :D

Run into the monsoon

2008-12-22T10:41:00.000-08:00

I'm shagged. But life's been fairly good (:

Juggling schoolwork/part timing at Obolo/tuition hasn't taken its toll on me yet; mail from St. James, London made my day; my awesome Man Utd became the first British team to lift the Fifa Club World Cup trophy even though they played most of the 2nd half with 10 men so that's an unprecedented treble in 2008; bbq at Fiona's was fun; Four Christmases and Twilight were both pretty good; Christmas is 3 days away (and I've gotten 2 things on my wishlist yay); Chris's going to bring back yummy cornflakes from Korea (I hope haha)...

Plus getting addicted to ISWAK again (I'm only watching the whole series for the 2nd time!) is..shiok. HAHA. Jiang Zhi Shu's like the yummiest guy ever in all the taiwan dramas I've watched. Maybe that's just me, but whatever haha.

Just not looking forward to school starting though. Gotta do my globalisation essay and study for the ibm test soon ):

You make it hard to smile because you make it hard to breathe

2008-12-07T08:20:00.000-08:00

VIVO Camwhoring with the huge pretty christmas tree and at f21, love you girls (:

*****

BNJ'S CHUNK FEST

The queueing was terrible in the humid post-rain weather on the muddy grass, so there were these few guys with guitars going around to random groups of people in the queue to sing whatever they requested, and so this guy came and we requested for Jason Mraz's I'm Yours. He's so cute, and his voice just totally made us go AWWW and melted our hearts. Serious! Haha.
Peanut butter cookie dough & Choc Fudge Brownie Frozen Yoghurt were gooooooddd. SLURPS. I hope they bring in more of these new flavours to S'pore soon!

*****
SCSM 2008 Waking up at 6.30am after only 3 hours of sleep because Man Utd gave me such a heart attack with, of all people, one half of my favourite central defence popping up with the winner over Sunderland, kinda sucked. But felt fantastic and strangely energetic after the run lol. The run itself was good; nice weather, great route, drinks every 1.5km.. the pre- and post-race sucked though. We missed the bananas, but being the typical kiasu S'porean I got myself 3 Nature Valley's bars to make up for it HAHA. Of course, it was only 10km la. Nothing compared to the half and full marathoners, some of whom were still running when we were on the mrt home. Brave, these people. Maybe I should challenge myself and try to do at least a half marathon before I turn 20. Hopefully.

Some people hide, their every desire

2008-11-30T08:24:00.000-08:00

NOW WHO'RE THE KINGS OF MANCHESTER HA! :D

Dear Santa, I've been really good this year (I think), so here's my very modest wishlist:

1. For Man Utd to retain their domestic title/European title if not both
2. David Cook's debut album
3. New books! I've been wanting to get Javier Sierra's 'The Secret Supper' and David Gibbins' 'The Last Gospel'
4. The Roger Federer 2009 calendar!
5. Actually, anything with Roger Federer/Jay Chou/Man Utd/Steven Gerrard on it would suffice
6. And if all else fails, I wish for an unlimited supply of chocolate pocky and peanut butter (:

Okay, Chelsea 0 Arsenal 0 would rock haha.

More ktv, movies, MJ, good food hunts etc to come aye!

Going back to the corner where I first saw you

2008-11-22T00:54:00.000-08:00

I NEED TO GO FOR MY WEEKLY JOG.
STUPID RAIN.

miss everyone loads please meet up after all your exams!

You get older and blame turns to shame

2008-11-11T06:20:00.000-08:00

Still my favourite group of people (:

Hope ManU and Federer get back to their winning ways soon!!

I feel mean. And easily irritated these days. Like, anything-everything-pisses me off I swear. And I've an uncontrollable crave for chocolates with nuts every day.
Must be that time of the month.

Even heroes have the right the dream

2008-10-29T10:54:00.000-07:00

Dilemma dilemma.. I know it's gonna be fun! But..

Damn, why aren't they showing Man Utd-West Ham match live later )):

But Federer's finally playing in Paris later (((:

I know where my October pay's going to. White away United jersey here I come LOL.

Spending money is good for the economy right? Especially in times like this. Econs teaches us that haha. Oh, Club Marc's having sale, everything's freaking cheap!

What's the point of cab companies doing away with the 30cents fuel surcharge? Now I'm sure if they did away with the meter jumping by 20cents thingy and changed it back to jumping by 10cents instead, more people'd be taking cabs man.

School's driving me nuts.

I can ride my bike with no handlebars

2008-10-26T07:17:00.000-07:00

Federer has just won his 3rd consecutive Davidoff Swiss Indoors title in his hometown Basel, and he's gonna be playing at the Paribas Masters in Paris this week (((: , and Liverpool has just ended Chelsea's 4yr unbeaten home record, woohoo :D Even if it wasn't Man Utd who did that.

On the other hand, Man Utd drew with Everton, SIAN ):
And it's kinda weird seeing Hull up there with the Big Four lol.

Is the year coming to an end too soon or what?

Okay, just being random.

Everything inside, it never comes out right

2008-10-22T06:33:00.000-07:00

Is it just me?

I kinda miss the tj days with 32/o6, sitting at the marquee during breaks, gossiping/TRYING to rush out tutorials/talking rubbish/ xr and abby complaining that I'm always only eating dewberry the whole day/care and share sessions etc etc.. Somehow friends in university just aren't the same. In fact I don't even think they're like, real friends, y'know? Once the semester's over, you move on to trying to get to know new people again, which is kinda ):

Man Utd and Rooney are on a roll now, and Berbatov's gradually understanding how to play with the rest of the team too, whoopeedoo (: But unless Chelsea suffers a sudden dip in form or something, I doubt ManU's gonna retain the domestic title this season.

New Balance Real Run was a killerzz, as if running 10km of sand/trail/gravel/road under the bloody scorching hot sun wasn't bad enough, it took us another 1hr/5km (under the same bloody hot sun) just to get out of the stupid ulu place and find a bus stop that took us to civilisation.
Okay I so do not look utterly exhausted here, but whatever.

Miss watching Federer play on tv! ):

Totally my inspiration man. And yes xr I'm serious. HAHA.

Oh, Jay Chou fever's back (: He's so cute I love his new album :D Actually I love anything that has him on it haha.

And I pray grandma gets well ):

I am

2008-10-04T00:57:00.000-07:00

not feeling well at all ):

listen to the thunder

2008-09-15T10:16:00.001-07:00

I really wanna get a Roger Federer poster, but it's so hard to find one ): Anyone tell me where to get one pleasseee?
Jay Chou's finally going to release his new album, can't wait :D
Man Utd are finally back to their winning ways, 3-1 against Boro in the Carling Cup, and 2-0 against Bolton in the League game yay. Now to look forward to the mid week Champions League match against Aalborg (:
Contrary to all those newspaper reports, I thought Mamma Mia! the movie was really good! Classic Abba songs, fun and happy movie and all. Okay maybe partly because my favourite Colin Firth's in it (even though he turned out to be gay in the movie boo), but it was sucha fun and cheerful movie to watch and sing along to, plus Meryl Streep's awesome in it, I came out of the movies smiling and all haha. Everyone please do watch it, it's very worth the money! Seriously contemplating getting the movie soundtrack, anyone owes me a birthday present? HAHA.
Juggling school stuff and work has been manageable so far.. although the boss can get seriously unreasonable, the rest of them like Audrey, Caroline, Darren, Wendy, Winnie, Ruslina, and even the new guy Allester just make work much more bearable.

Okay I seriously should stop wasting so much time online instead of revising/studying my work esp econs and ibm, and sociology and.. probably math too. Okay that's every single subject there is bleagh.

Btw, I can't believe Hull City just beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates zomg. HAHAHA.

but i know this crush ain't going away

2008-09-15T09:49:00.000-07:00

Man Utd 1 Liverpool 2
):
But it's okay, I know we'll bounce back, starting from the Champions League game midweek against Villarreal :D

I've been wasting time online the past 1 hr or so when I should be studying for the sociology test coming up. But I've finished econs and maths assignments so I'm feeling really lazy even though I know zilch about sociologists and their whatever theories.

Online shopping's addictive! Esp with the anticipation of the packages haha. But high opportunity cost of rapidly dwindling moolah. ):

I need self discipline!

shadow of the day

2008-09-09T10:13:00.001-07:00

Roger Federer gave me the bestest birthday present- his 5th consecutive US Open trophy (: (: (: I didn't wake up at 5am to catch him in action for nothing (: I know you can do it- more Grand Slams to come, and hopefully get the world no.1 ranking back :D Have I mentioned how much I adore/idolize/love him? HAHAHA.

Of course, much love to the dolphin gang too- thanks for coming down from ntu/nus/smu for me (:

Take a break

2008-07-30T09:51:00.000-07:00

So hard to..

-

EPL season 08/09 start soon pleaseeeeeeeee! I need the soccer action on weekendzzzzz. Federer Federer please get your act together soon those first serves especially! Boo now Nadal is on his way to dethroning Federer ):

University lives won't change friendships, will they? I feel like I don't know what's happening in all their lives already. SIGHS.

Now this is a random post.

It'll all get better in time.

2008-07-14T09:35:00.000-07:00

FUCK. I AM FUCKING PISSED RIGHT NOW.

There. Sorry for the vulgarities, but I'm seriously damn effing irritated.

Just when I thought the past 2 weeks or so have been improving, everything just came crashing down today.

First, it was __________. ( I must have been an idiot to believe what you said)
Then __________. ( I can't believe all the blame's on me, and I didn't even get a chance to clarify all the issues)

Great, just great.

When darkness turns to light, it ends tonight.

2008-06-19T11:04:00.000-07:00

" There is no mystery to happiness. Unhappy men are all alike. Some wound they suffered long ago, some wish denied, some blow to pride, some kindling spark of love put out by scorn - or worse, indifference - cleaves to them, or they to it, and so they live each day without a shroud of yesterdays. The happy man does not look back. He doesn't look ahead. He lives in the present."
- Jed Rubenfield, The Interpretation Of Murder

I just finished this book and damn it's sucha fascinating and intriguing read. Time to head down to the library and get my hands on more reads.

Let's go, Portugal and Holland! I hope one of 'em wins Euro 2008. But I don't want to see C.Ronaldo move to Real, not yet anyway. And haven't seen Gerrard in action for so long! ):

Friendships and relationships are so fragile. Remember that friend in primary school who used to sit beside you in class everyday? Or that friend whom you used to go to the canteen to buy Yakult with every recess? What about those people you got to know in the level camps back in secondary school? Still in contact? Nah, I don't think they even qualify as friends. Mere acquaintances maybe. Some may even have forgotten who you are completely. Everyone we knew back then was 'my friend'. But as we grow up, how many of these 'friends' do we actually still keep in touch with, still bother to catch up with and find out what they're doing in their lives right now? I hate to think that those good friends we used to have back when we were young and carefree have become strangers now. I certainly hope the friends around now will remain those that I can still fall back on, look to for advice and comfort, count on whenever needed a few years down the road. Or perhaps university lives will change people, I don't know. Just... thinking.

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you

2008-06-17T09:34:00.000-07:00

And so..

They have the most IMBA desserts EVER

.. HK was a timely getaway. Not the best, but definitely needed.

But now, it's back to reality:

YFC Project
Sex and The City
praying, hoping and waiting
looking forward (to the new BPL 08/09 season, that is)
98.7
bedok reservoir
chocolate pocky and peanut butter
Prison Break 3 + wentworth miller
bed

... zzz fucking idiot computer!!

You cut me open and I..

2008-06-04T10:33:00.000-07:00

Life's been a mess lately. Every day just passes by without me feeling I've done anything worth noting. I really don't know how and what to feel anymore.

Bad news:
> Super good friend's going overseas for quite awhile. I haven't seen her in a million years and suddenly she's flying off ))): Omg the song that reminds me of her just came on 98.7fm. Man I'll miss her ):
> Won't get to see brother who's gonna be away at camp for 5 days. I haven't properly talked to him in ages ):
> So many things to settle, so little time. Sorry to ppl/projects/assignments I've been neglecting- I know I haven't been the best team member, but I'm trying, really.
> Future's so unsettled, I'm screwed.
> I don't know how to answer him.
> I'm broke. C'mon it's the GSS after all. LOL.
> Weekends just feel empty without the usual soccer action on tv.

Good news:
...

There's no good news...

In short? I'm still screwed.

2008-05-25T02:44:00.000-07:00

Yesterday at work, there was this little boy, probably only kindergarten/p1-2 age, he was thoroughly excited about getting this new ultraman bag his mum bought for him, happily skipping off with the bag on his shoulders right after it was paid for, with a smile so sincere I wish I could see it on everyone around me. I wish we could go back to those days when even a new bag could make us happy, so carefree and innocent where we had nothing to worry about. Unlike now.

ManUtd did a double over Chelsea in the BPL and Champions League, fucking awesome. Heart goes out to JohnTerry though, the captain whose final penalty kick should've sent his team into a state of ecstasy and won them the title instead of ManUtd. He was totally unconsolable after that.

David Cook's won American Idol instead of David Archuleta. Ima fan of both Davids, so no complains there, cos they're both equally worthy. DavidC's hot while DavidA's cute, but they both have insane vocals, so I don't really give a damn who wins cos I think both are good enough to produce albums already.

It's amazing how ppl in Myanmar and Sichuan are struggling to even get pass each day, and here in Singapore we're all safe and sound, going through the routines of complaining how hot the weather is, how some people can remain so skinny even though they eat alot, how there's always nothing to wear even though the wardrobe's already about on the verge of bursting so let's go shopping etcetc. I'm ashamed to be one of these typical Singaporeans.

I put on this facade everyday, everyone at work thinks I'm a happy, cheerful girl who likes to laugh and go 'yo yo' to everyone I see, when actually I'm not. It's hard to try and feel happy everyday when deep down yre actually struggling to come to terms with so many things and trying to understand the meaning of life-what am I living for? what am I gna do about my future? what and how am i actually contributing to society?- I still can't answer these qns I constantly ask myself.

Sometimes (okay maybe most of the time) I really like walking home alone from the interchange at night, or just taking long bus rides home alone, with my first generation Ipod plugged in and closing out the sounds of the people around me. I'm not a loner, no. At times I even like squeezing with crowds and soaking in the atmosphere. It's just that I like having time to myself to think about.. stuff. Stuff that I don't feel like speaking out about. I think I'm weird in that way. I like bottling up things to myself, so much that I don't really know how to pour it all out to even the closest friends. Not that I don't trust them or anything of course, it's just.. I rather keep them to myself. That's why most of the time I only talk about the happier things/events that happened/are going to happen, when deep down I'm actually feeling terribly down and out. I think it's a way to escape from reality, talk about the happier things to forget about those that are not. Like how keeping yourself busy, trying to squeeze as many activities as you possibly can into a mere 24hrs a day is a form of escapism.

So to friends out there like Z and C, it's not that don't wna see/talk to you guys, it's just that right now I'm not in the mood too. I hate it when I have to carry on conversations when actually I really have nothing else to say, but I have to just because I don't want to appear aloof or anything.

I just want to plop myself at Starbucks everyday reading my books (I'm trying to finish up The Time Traveller's Wife now) and not give a heck about anything else that's bugging me. Tampines Starbucks is still the best.

Sorry for the long, incoherent, rambly entry. It's hard to sound coherent when you haven't been blogging for more than a month. And when yre struggling to come to sound decisions at the crossroads of life.

2008-04-16T10:54:00.001-07:00

Have I mentioned?

Life's pretty much screwed now.

Okay scrape that. Life is absolutely, terribly, extremely SCREWED UP now.

It's hard to try and keep up the optimism with each passing day.

I think no amount of chocolate pocky or peanut butter or icecream can cheer me up. Not at this moment.

Sorry, just let me be emo solo for now.

BIG FAT SIGH. ): ): ): ): ):

2008-04-07T11:01:00.000-07:00

I have random rants.

1. I can't decide if it's good or bad to be temporarily unemployed.

2. I can't stand superficial guys. Can't believe what he said. Omfg.

3. It sucks to see people around me getting called up for interviews for universities and scholarships and whatnots, while people with shit results like mine can only pray and wait. Of course, I'm happy for my friends, but it just sucks to be waiting and waiting, not knowing what's in store for you.

4. Stupid Middlesbrough always save their best performance when it matters most eh. Just when I thought Man U's title hopes were given another boost with Arsenal drawing Liverpool, Chelsea went on to brush aside Man City, and Boro had to draw Man U. Hmmph. And with Vidic out for 3 weeks and Ferdinand a doubt, I'm starting to worry abt that 2nd leg with Roma damn it.

5. Why is it that I jogged a total of at least 12km last week, but I'm still not losing weight? Ah right, must be the overload of chocolate pocky, bnj's, peanut butter, gelare half priced waffles, Botak Jones.. Shit I'm feeling hungry at 2.30 am in the morning.

6. Finally, someone agrees with me that Joe Cheng's handsome. HAHAHA.

7. Oh, I think Ozzy on Survivor's hot too. So is Eric Bana, Batista, Cristiano Ronaldo, Adam Levine... Okay the list's too long hahaha.

8. Whenever we MJ with chips, luck's on my side and I can't stop hu-ing. But MJ with real money, and I keep losing zzz.

9. ):

10. I need a getaway. ASAP.

Okay, enough of random rants. Time to get back to the life of an unemployed bummer. HAHAHA.

Oh yes! Before I forget,

I sort of miss those school days ):

2008-03-21T23:14:00.000-07:00

Whoopeedoo! It's been almost a month since the last post, I almost forgot my password while trying to sign in just now, lol.

Anyway, quite alot of things happened, but I'm a lazy person, so.. it got procrastinated.

1. Okay, obviously, A level results. I keep procrastinating the university applications, partly because I still have no idea what course interests me, but more imptly because I think no university wants students with shit results like mine. I can't stand ppl who say they have shit results when actually they get a few As and Bs and go oh no which course should I choose my results suck! Seriously, just shut up and get lost. But aunty cheryl keeps hurrying me to rmbr to apply lest I forget and the deadline comes and goes, so I shall think abt it a little more and apply asap.

2. Oh, luckily I stayed up till 6am the other night, or morning I should say, to catch the midweek matches, cos Man Utd are top of the table right now after they beat Bolton (: Ronaldo's bloody brilliant with his free kicks. And now Man Utd are on top, 5 pts ahead of 2nd placed Chelsea who just beat Arsenal, after they beat Liverpool 3-0. Not that Liverpool deserves to lose by such a big margin, but Man Utd played really well, so (:. Talking abt BPL, I can't believe from next season onwards Starhub users can't watch Champions League matches anymore, cos Singtel's won the bid to broadcast them, so we have to subscribe to MIO tv! what nonsense la, I think we should all just boycott it and go and watch the matches at some coffeeshop with all the bengs and uncles, atmosphere inclusive.

3. Work has been alright, but some of them are quitting come end March, I wonder if I should too. I really enjoy working at the airport cos of all these different ppl you get to meet, the polite English ppl and cute Italians haha and friendly Aussies, and Japs and Koreans too. Singaporeans of course, always add a sense of familiarity cos I don't worry abt pronouncing my '-th's clearly I just use 'la's and 'lor's knowing they'll understand. One of them was actually flying to Manchester to catch the ManU-Bolton game live, much to my jealousy, haha. Notice I don't mention one type of ppl I enjoy meeting, sometimes they really piss me off when they shout (more like HOLLER actually) across the shop to their friends for passports and whatnots, talk so loudly as if I'm deaf when I'm standing right in front of them, and quarrel with me over some stupid things. But other than them, work's been tolerable also because of all the familiar faces like the delivery boys and the brand promoters who're quite funny and SOME of the aunties, too.

4. By the way, here are two very, individually, thrifty (i.e kiam siap HAHAHA) ppl-

But when you put them together, you get this-

- a whole lot of eating out, spending more money on food than anything else. Hahaha. That's why we're best of friends, right?

5. I love eating nuts so much, my dad says I'm nuts. I can have some peanut breakfast bar before going for work, come home from work and have peanut butter bread, followed by sugar peanuts, and not get sick of them, lol. I even love peanut butter flavoured ice cream (if they don't have chocolate mint or smth, that is). But no I'm absolutely sane okay.

And chocolate pocky & peanut butter everything always save the day (:

2008-02-28T11:27:00.000-08:00

My brother recently bought this pair of dumbells that weigh 2 kg each and they are surprisingly heavy. Shh but I've been secretly taking them out from his room to use every night when I'm waiting for my hair to dry from my shower after work, my arms are seriously aching HAHAHA.

Sometimes I purposely knock off abit later than 11pm, stroll to the arrival room to clock out, get a cup of ice blend from Coffee Bean before going to return my airport pass, so that I get to take the company cab instead of having to pay for my own transport home. I feel so guilty hahaha. But then I still prefer Starbucks to Coffee Bean, just that t3 doesn't have Starbucks, so Mattea and I agree that we just have to settle for a not-so-nice substitute, hurhur.

The other night I had a nightmare (okay a dream maybe) about the release of the results. I dreamt that the tcher in charge called me to take my result slip and he gave an exclamation of surprise and I saw that there were four '1's and one '2' and he said this year produced many surprises. And then I rmbr pinching myself to check that I wasn't dreaming and for a while I really thought that those were the real results, only to wake up and find that I was indeed dreaming, lol. Since when were the grades in numbers anyway, hmm. Bottomline is, I AM FREAKING DREADING GETTING THEM BACK ):

And this is abit late, but I'm damn happy that Tottenham won the Carling Cup instead of Chelsea, I just don't like Chelsea. I also hope that Reading won't get relegated this season. Oh, and I think Real Madrid's keeper Casillas is cute. And Lyon's Benzema is really good, I actually panicked abit for Man U's defence everytime he got the ball the other day when they played. Oh and everytime I serve a customer decked in a Tottenham jersey, holding a Republic of Ireland passport, I have a strong urge to ask, 'Hey are you a Robbie Keane fan? Cos' I am.' hahaha. Just like how I have to control my excitement whenever I serve a Man U fan, lol.

I'm so craving for a sushi buffet, and chocolate pocky, and peanut butter everything, and chocolates, and icecream, and bread, and cake, and cookies,and home-cooked dinners, and pasta, and..... zzz.

2008-02-25T09:33:00.000-08:00

Now, as much as I'm a 101% Manchester United fan, which means I'm elated that Arsenal dropped points at Birmingham and Man U cut their lead to 3 pts after their 5-1 thrashing of Newcastle, I feel really sorry for Eduardo. Horrific injury that not only ended his contributions for this season, but perhaps also threatened his career in football. It's amazing he refuses to blame Martin Taylor for his broken foot, too.

Been making full use of my many off days from work to shop, eat, and catch up with everybody, which means spending more money when I'll probably earn a meagre amount this month. Not that I'm complaining though, cos as yc said, "Aiya, it's the company that matters the most what!" (:

And the thought of the A level results going to be released soon just scares the shit out of me, I get nightmares every night ): Last night, Fiona and I went for our usual jog at the reservoir, and after that we relieved our childhood on the seesaw and the swings, which was awesome. We sat there till abt 9.30pm and talked abt nothing in particular; funny how the last time we had a go at the swings after a jog was abt a week before the A's and there we were, worrying abt the A's. This time we were worrying together on the swings again, albeit abt the release of the results.

And yet, in spite of everything, I'm trying to be happy.

2008-02-19T09:02:00.000-08:00

I'm so glad that the muttons're back on 98.7, they nvr fail to make me laugh in the middle of the night (:

Man U are up against Lyon, first leg, tmr morning. I'm gna be really optimistic abt the result, after they dumped Arsenal out of the FA Cup 4-0. On the other hand, Arsenal are up against AC Milan, doesn't look like an easy match. Sorry Calvin, but yre one of the rare Arsenal fans I know, hahahahaha.

2008-02-14T09:41:00.000-08:00

For the bouquet, movie, damn filling dinner, talk at the esplanade rooftop, and the ride back to Bedok, thanks, really.

But somehow, it just didn't feel right.

And sometimes, truth hurts the most.

2008-02-05T11:49:00.000-08:00

- met up with long-time-no-see childhood friend and some of his friends for lunch,his friend driving us around, plus some shopping the other day before work
- 'reunion lunch' at holland v, ice cream and camwhoring with the rest of hhypes, followed by reunion dinner with part of 32/06 at joy's where florence's yusheng was the highlight of the night haha
(:

I wish I had more courage, so things that I want don't slip away before I get them.
):

2008-01-31T11:24:00.000-08:00

hello. the computer's being a bitch. but seeing that i have to charge my ipod, i shall be patient.

work today was:

1. so terribly boring in the first 1 hr or so, there were so little travellers, i made calvin the greedy boy kup so many of those free airport fox sweets just to keep me awake hahaha.
2. so full of incidents when it got later into the night; lost pens, all the credit refunds, long queues and unreasonable ppl who blatantly ignore the huge and bright red 'COUNTER CLOSED' sign that i put up that pissed me off and stressed me up big time.

am really tempted to accept the other part time at fishnco. too hmm.

oh, and i was so looking forward to the midweek matches. turned on the tv at 3 plus in the morning, only to find out that channel 27 cannot air them because of some contractual agreements, what rubbish ): and so i missed what the papers said to be one of man utd's best performances of the season after their win against pompey. with ronaldo adding another 2 to his tally at that.

it took a huge amt of determination and discipline, but i managed to drag myself out of bed at 8am this morning to go for a jog at the reservoir. it felt damn good, because there was still so much time in the morning and afternoon before work to do the things i wanted to.

okay enough of my random ramblings. i hope calvin managed to help me find it (:

2008-01-19T23:39:00.000-08:00

hi world. my laziness strikes again.

1. work's stressful, but everybody's been nice and helpful, the managers are really approachable, and so are the other ppl my age working there- the delivery boys popping in and out saying the same thing everyday, the other cashiers, and SAs at the mix-it bar too. and getting exposed to different customers has taught me alot; the occasional guailan ones, the extremely friendly angmohs who say more 'thank you's to us than we do to them, the koreans and japs who look surprised everytime i put my (terribly limited) knowledge of their language to use..

2. random meetups with ppl, though hard to organise cos my work time's very different frm everybody's, have been good too; icecream chefs yesterday was really nice

3. i miss home-cooked dinners with the rest of the family

4. man u are top of the table, level on points but ahead of arsenal due to goal difference, after their 6-0 rout over newcastle when arsenal only managed a draw last wk. ronaldo, tevez and rooney have been in such good form, as well as the rest of the squad, especially the solid defence in the form of ferdinand, vidic, evra and wes brown (:

5. JAY CHOU'S CONCERT at the s'pore indoor stadium was awesome, seeing him perform live. he didn't sing some of the songs i'd have preferred, but nonetheless, i'm happy i caught it. the $168 tickets were worth it, cos i think our seats are better than the most expensive ones right in front of the stage :D

6. been reading steven gerrard's autobiography too, thanks eileen for getting it for me (:

7. keeping to my resolution of taking 4.3 km jogs around bedok reservoir at least twice a week feels good

8. cny's coming (: which means the date of the release of A's results is drawing nearer too; i seriously dread getting it back, very very much ):

2008-01-05T06:00:00.000-08:00

first post of the new year.

i'm lazy to narrate in detail, so..

1. man utd has fallen behind arsenal because they lost to west ham ): but no matter, i'm sure they'll catch up in no time. hah.

2. new yr's eve spent with two ppl i trust the most in this world; pathetic dinner at billy bomber's haha, national treasure, cakes and mudpies at changing appetites, pretty fireworks blocked by the trees, walking to ecp at 4am in the morning intending to catch the first sunrise of the new yr but ended up not seeing it the sky just brightened w/o us seeing the sun, first breakfast... i love you guys (:

3. work at the airport's stressful but fun, i'm doing what i like (ie. counting money), i get to encounter friendly angmohs and impatient s'poreans, and i get to go into the transit area as and when i like. i like working at t2's departure LT much more than t3's though. even though t3's HUGE and pretty, the ppl at t2 are much friendlier and more helpful.

4. not busy shopping for stationery, packing my bag, trying on to see if my old uniform still fits, frantically trying to finish off those last min work i always leave till the last night before schl reopens, and slping early to go to school the next day and see familiar faces for the first time in all my schling yrs makes me feel oddly weird and empty, but FREAKING SHIOK.

5. and i thought there was.. but..

new yr resolutions? i hardly ever keep to them, but oh well.

1. TRY and eat less and exercise more, ie. slim down (i can imagine xr and abby and whoever else has been complaining abt me going on a diet rolling their eyes alrdy).

2. smile more and not put on a long face (that may take some time)

3. be more patient with ppl around me (i think that'll be pretty hard too)

4. take the initiative more often

5. spend the year more meaningfully..

and i just want them and everyone else to be happy (:

oh and i'm really baffled as to why seemingly perfectly healthy ppl are leaving the world suddenly. the Motherwell captain, NS men who collapse after their runs, the korean boxer who was declared brain dead after that blow, even my family doctor- it was pretty much of a shock to my whole family. and mrs benazir bhutto who got assassinated, and most recently MC King- i'm not much of a fan, but he really contributed much to the local entertainment scene. seriously, it's scary.

till the next time then.

2007-12-27T10:45:00.000-08:00

i am elated, because man utd won sunderland 4-0 last night, while arsenal drew portsmouth, so man utd are top of the table now, AWESOME :D
sometimes i think im so crazy over watching soccer i rather stay at home and watch channel 27 the whole night instead of going out lol.

anyway, job orientation today was very boring, i wanted to fall asleep throughout the whole thing. the lunch break was soooo long (yes, im complaining abt a way too long lunch break), and the modules were, well, rather boring.
xr got very very upset over the fact that i was only working part time but got posted to the liquor & tobacco section while she got the chocolates, which is just too bad :P
wine training after the orientation for the people working in LT was fun though. we got to taste sauvignon blanc, shiraz and some other blend, though they all tasted the same to me lol. seriously, low tolerance ): but it was fun to learn abt some common wines sold and all, and the two guys were damn funny. we had to smell the wine in our glasses, swirl, and smell again. we were smelling the shiraz, and

guy1: "it smells like crap."
after swirling,
"it still smells like crap."
guy 2: "it smells like.. something rotten. like - "

which was enough to send the 4 of us into laughing fits. but they slurped down the wine anyway, the two of us took a sip from their glasses and gave up. hahaha. there were only 4 of us in our teens there, and the rest of the adults drank the wine like pros, lol.

was too late to catch the movie after the uniform fitting, so ym and i ended up walking down orchard under the pretty christmas lightings.. :)

thanks xr for thinking of me when you saw the potato chips with jaychou on the container in china la okay stop whining already HAHAHA.

2007-12-25T11:15:00.000-08:00

first and foremost,
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! (:
pariss high-tea buffet at marina square with the family, then meeting up with the rest of hhypes (minus SY) at siglap to chill; stupidly sitting in the smoking area at starbucks only to complain about the smoke, being sad kids when the staff came out to (very politely) break up our bridging, giving out the souvenirs, playing truth-or-truth and everything else.. was good (:

now i know why i didn't start a blog a long long time back when everybody got one. i knew the reason all along- i'm just too lazy to update it. LOL. in fact, i'm even too lazy to create the links to the friends and the chatbox or whatever you call it.

okay, being out for the past one week plus has been good. meeting up with all the different groups of friends, catching up, christmas gatherings and all (:
but my money's depleting from my bank account as fast as.. well i can't think of any analogy to use right now, but you get the point. actually, i can't wait for work at the airport to start soon, really.

the other night i was watching barcelona against real madrid at the nou camp, it was so exciting and entertaining. seriously, i think they're different from matches in the EPL, it's just so much more.. technical and.. yeah. just now there was a replay of the man utd-bayern munich match, the 1998/1999 champions league finals, manutd's treble winning year. i can't believe how excited i got when man utd scored two goals in final minutes of extra time to win 2-1, even though the match was played like 8 years ago. lol.
and by the way, i'm looking forward to the boxing day fixtures tmr, hahaha.

i'm getting sick of all the buffets already, and i desperately need my weekly jogs at bedok reservoir. i hope it stops raining..

okay, i'm getting lazy again. till the next time i decide to take out some time to blog instead of watching youtube, blog-hopping and facebook/friendster-ing then, bye (:

2007-12-15T09:29:00.000-08:00

all i want for christmas, is you (:

alright, a lifetime unlimited supply of bnj's or chocolate pocky, or a manutd poster will suffice too. heh.

on a random note,
1. i really cannot wait for JAYCHOU'S concert next yr
2. Wuzun is really really hot
3. nothing beats spending a lazy afternoon with a good friend at starbucks, reading a book and talking about anything and everything over a javachip frap
4. i hope manutd wins liverpool tmr, though i support gerrard as much as i do manutd
5. the guys are all in army already ): (well, the class guys anyway)
6. i love the feeling of keeping in touch with old friends
7. i like to number my thoughts
8. the cresent moon looks like it's smiling
9. i want to spend christmas overseas
10. everyone's hiding behind a facade, really

(:

2007-12-14T09:34:00.000-08:00

rainy days are good because i can:
1. sit in front of youtube the whole day watching Wuzun and angela, eating my chocolate pocky and ben&jerry's
2. refrain from spending any money on food and shopping unnecessarily, since i am currently involuntarily unemployed

rainy days are bad because:
1. they make me sit in front of the computer the whole day, snacking on junk food
2. i can't go to the reservoir for my usual runs to burn off the calories i keep eating in

by the way, i love the girl friends alot (: been in town everyday. it made me want to laze around at home the whole day.
and i can't wait for the soccer coming up on sunday; manutd-liverpool and arsenal-chelsea :D

okay, episode 5 of Romantic Princess is done loading, i'm off to watch more Wuzun now. i wonder how anybody can be as hot and good looking as Wuzun. hahahahaha.

2007-12-10T08:43:00.000-08:00

the past week: prom, job hunting, barbeque at ecp, shopping, lazy days, and incessant rain.

32/06, ((:

anyway, been sleeping at 5am everyday, just to finish watching It Started With A Kiss on youtube. i know it's late, and as xiuru reminded me, part 2's coming out soon. but i swear it's damn nice, although this kind of things never happen in reality. and after watching joe cheng for 30 episodes, i think i really have a thing for guys with small eyes, hahaha. i think i shall watch Romantic Princess next.

oh by the way, xiuru wants me to mention how wonderfully awesome fantastic a friend she is. there. :D

and, manutd 4 derby 1, while arsenal lost 2-1 to middlesbrough. so the gap's only 1 point now, YAY (:

and the rain's so irritating, it just makes me feel like sleeping away the whole day, or watching youtube. i'm so lazy to go out of the house, and i can't even go to the reservoir for a jog, been eating so much, i'm craving for everything, from a Mac's fillet meal to a sakae buffet, lol.

okay, i'm too lazy to blog already.

2007-12-03T10:11:00.000-08:00

32/06 bbq at wy's yesterday night was good; we arrived late and didn't get to see his awesome penthouse that everyone else gushed about ):, but the food was nice and his parents were nicer (i mean they were nice cos they sponsored all the food). i think sausages and marshmellows are the bestest things to barbeque, hahaha. and the bridge and daidee and photos and all, (:
and i met hj on the bus home, which was super surprising; haven't seen him for a long time since the camp at ntu, and he lives in the hall, so i couldn't believe he was actually on the same bus home. but he's still the childish OLD boy hahaha.

after reading pride and prejudice for the one millionth time, i still never fail to fall in love with mr darcy, laugh at mrs bennet and mr collins, with mr bennet, admire elizabeth, and laugh at all the irony in jane austen's words, all over again. even though it reminds me of reading the novel for the A's, i still love it (:

Enchanted today was very nice. very cliche and sweet and cute and funny and all, after the happy-ever-after ending, i swear everyone came out with a smile (: i must be the most indecisive person around, i wouldn't have managed to get all the prom stuff by today if it wasn't for jenny, thanks girl!

prom's tmr, i can't wait for it to be over actually. so that i can look forward to all the buffets and chocolates and b&j's calling out to me in my refrigerator, lol. the chocolates and icecream i mean.
no matter what everybody says, i still think neopets is fun okay. at least it's keeping me occupied till 3.55am later when manutd plays fulham. i think i'll wake up with even darker eyebags tmr, but it's a manutd match.

i think im an extremely lazy person- everyday i just feel like lying in my bed all day long, reading persuasion by austen, eating, and watching tv. according to the test, sloth is my greatest sin, and i totally agree with it, but i can't help it. my mum says i better be able to change my lazy lifestyle when (and if) i start work, which makes me kind of not look forward to scouting for temp jobs anymore. but then again, i need the money. and i want the experience, of course.

2007-11-30T09:04:00.000-08:00

friend,
i'm sorry ):
i'd be pretty mad too if i were him.

prom's giving me sucha headache, i hope everything'll go well next tuesday.

on another note, i'm really looking forward to the class bbq at wy's place (:
and manutd's top of their champions league table, sweeeeet.

2007-11-27T11:03:00.000-08:00

HAPPY EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY LEONGAHTING! <3
thanks for having been the most wonderful friend (:
it was great fun; the 'surprise' at an unearthly time in the morning, lazing in the living rm doing nothing, going crazy at kbox, steamboat dinner at her house... :D

i wish we could remain 18 forever.
18 seems like just the right age for everything- legal, unrestrained yet able to rationalise...
sometimes i cannot imagine what life'd be like a few yrs down the road; will we still have the same best friends, will we like our jobs, will we be able to make better and wiser decisions and all?

digressing a little, i'm dead tired and my eyes are telling me to not be an idiot and go to sleep, but everything else tells me to watch the manutd-sporting lisbon match that's starting in 10 mins time.

i wonder how long more i can/should keep deceiving myself and everybody else.

2007-11-26T08:47:00.000-08:00

isn't it ironic that the only thing that's constant in this world is change?
sometimes i think i fear change.

on another note,
sometimes my dad rocks cos he buys munchy donuts and benandjerry's for us (okay so most of the time i finish 90 percent of it), and treats us to cafe cartel out of the blue (:
sometimes he doesn't rock cos he refuses to sponsor my $168 ticket to jaychou's concert on jan18 ):

2007-11-25T10:27:00.000-08:00

after the trip to chijmes last night with old and new friends alike, the whole table of the 6 of us (all manutd fans at that) watching manutd lose to bolton ): , i found out that:

1. my tolerance for alcohol is as low as the morale of roy keane's men must probably have been after getting thrashed 7-1 by everton
2. i won't be surprised if the whole population of s'pore turns out to be interlinked when jl's gd friend is actually my friend's cousin and.. etcetera
3. guys can make friends with each other easily, just like that (provided they have the same interest, like football in this case)
4. the england guys really do play better for their respective clubs than for their country; just look at the performance of ppl like gerrard, lampard, wright-phillips and.. scott carson

anyway, now manutd are 3 points behind arsenal, and arsenal still have a game in hand ):. i wonder why ronaldo was rested, considering that the midwk champions league match with sporting lisbon is, well, relatively less impt since manutd have alrdy qualified. so we all left disappointed, but nonetheless twas fun.

and, it was really pretty too. (:

do you know what it feels like?

2007-11-23T11:09:00.000-08:00

1. ktv at katong shopping centre today was good, company of the s06 gang even better, even though the place was, uh, small and dingy and full of, yeah. and, so much cheaper than kbox. (:

after the guys left, we went high and got excited over the very new english songs, only to find that the MVs were all of waves crashing and sexy ladies running down the beach/along the park, lol. okay, except the justin timberlake ones.

2. met up with the family for dinner at night at the interchange, where this crazy old hag totally ruined the image of singaporeans (okay the not kiasu, not.. whatever good image we're supposed to have) by quarrelling with another family over the most trivial of matters. and we met a few other crazy people at the pasar malam. my brother and i conclude that bedok is full of weirdos and crazy people. and they appear especially at night.

3. wasted my time watching england play rubbish against croatia on wednesday night, at the wembley at that, they only needed a draw after israel gave them a glimmer of hope and they had to go and lose. they totally don't deserve a place, and good riddance of mcclaren luh.

4. i think i must be crazy, but here i am, still playing neopets when it's alrdy half past three in the wee hours of a saturday morning.

1. the A's been over for about five days, but it still feels weird to not be rushing home to accompany my notes everyday
2. The Gameplan at Shaw Lido yesterday with ym, subway cookiesss, rocking hard chocolate icecream, and blistered feet
3. muttons at midnight are still great company, though late night mugging sessions are long gone
4. very looking forward to the return of epl action this weekend :D
5. england against croatia at the Wembley later, but it'll mean sleeping at 6am if i catch it
6. almost thought he was going to break his promise, but thanks for calling (:
7. wanted to restring the guitar today but i didn't know how, brought it to yamaha at tm, but oddly, there were zero staff who could do it ):
8. i don't like the incessant raining; it's hindering all the plans of going out and jogs at the reservoir, i need to exercise badly
9. archie comics still always make me laugh
10. countless javachip fraps, starbucks sessions, and i want donuts and icecream
11. and i really wonder why...

but most of all, most of all, it's built to last.
