if only....

2 consecutive night shifts!!!

2009-12-17T11:14:00.000-08:00

my 2 night-shifts are finally over!!! worked on both tues and wed night...it feels weird to go to work just as people are going home, and to leave for home just as people are coming to work!! lolx

you may ask what we do at night? hmm for e 1st night...Fey, Xiwen, Elizabeth, Song and i watched "Battlestar Galactica" series from 10.30pm to 6.30am. we're not supposed to sleep during work, but we were too tired and fell asleep while watching e show at around 5+am!! we even used our 45mins breaks to take naps in e aircon room! and, thanks Pierson for buying mac supper for us!!! for e 2nd night, Xavier brought Masrin, Lawrence and i to site. we had a night site-walk and then stayed in e BSG lead-room to read e BSG manual for e rest of e night! at about 1.30am, we went up to e peak of e coaster to have a short break! i simply love standing up there...no sun, just e cold breeze and e night scenery of e park!!

my manager told us that soft opening of e themepark will be on 7th jan, family day on 10th jan and official opening in late jan!! that means...we only have 3weeks to complete all trainings, clean up and tidy e whole attraction, to be fully trained with controls, to finish all tests so that it's ready for people to ride!!! yes, and all we have is just 3weeks!!!! it's bound to be a hectic and tiring way of celebrating christmas and new year this year!! haha

------

i don't want to be someone who starts losing her friends once she starts working. i'm really afraid that this will happen, especially towards some friends who were previously very close but now, we hardly meet up or even talk on msn. i didn't even know that 1 friend is back from Melbourne (i rmb he said he'll come back in dec but not sure when) until i saw another friend's blog!! this's how out-dated i am. please, i really hope we can find a time on my off-day to have a meal and catch up with each other. i'm missing you guys alot.... =(

*off to bed now!!!*

BSG gathering on 29th nov 09

2009-12-06T23:43:00.000-08:00

i'm so lazy to blog even on my off-days. like what many people say, off-days are for us to catch up on the sleep that we lack, and to catch up on the shows that we haven't got time to watch. haha

anyway had a BSG gathering on 29th nov (last sun). BSG stands for battlestar galactica, the duelling coaster in Universal Studios Singapore. i've been helping with the testing of the coaster, and my manager wants us to gel with the part-timers (who are fixed to the attraction but full-timers still don't know where we'll be fixed at), so we had dinner at Lau Pa Sat. more than half of us worked that day. not just the crew, my team manager and area manager also came for the gathering. when we reached, there were already alot of food on the table but the main highlight was SATAY!!!!! lol fyi, 22 of us ate 350sticks of satay!!!

we had much fun and laughter tonight. a pity some full-timers will be leaving us. the posting for our home attraction came out yesterday night and a few of them have been posted to other attractions. but i'm still fixed at e coaster attraction!! when the park opens, go take the duelling coasters if you want to find me at work!! don't worry, i'll ensure that your restraints are tight and secured!! lol anyway i'm looking forward to the next BSG gathering...where it'll be a fixed team of FT as well as many more PT!!! =)

*Jianqi, take good care of yourself while in China. see you soon~*

many updates!!!

2009-11-12T00:13:00.000-08:00

2weeks+ since i last blogged!! i always tell myself on every off-day that i want to blog...but i end up being so lazy to do so!! i'm going out to e site more often than previously...almost everyday now!! and yes...i've became more tanned!!!

went to Night Safari with Sexists on 24th oct...i was feeling ok initially! but i started to feel scared as i got near e place!! i don't really understand why people are spending $22 just to scare themselves while taking a walk in e forest or a ride in e trams!! haha luckily our tix were free (credits to Yvonne)...if not i would have backed up immediately! haha

i worked e next day (yes on a sunday!)...and i don't know for what reason, 1 friend brought her cam so we took many photos! in case you're wondering what we do in office on sundays...we watched Madagascar 1&2 for e 1st week, watched Final Destination 1, 2&3 e week after, were allowed to go out and get KFC for lunch on e 3rd week, and bascially just slacked our way through with games and stuff for e 4th one!! haha slack huh? many people are saying...seems as though we're paid to watch movies on sundays! lolx oh btw, e 2 group pics below are not full-strength!! my batch has 42 of us but only 20+ worked on that day!!

went for sushi with 3 of my colleagues after work on 30th oct...a pity 5-6 people from my usual group couldn't turn up. *never mind...i'll try and organise another dinner together soon!!*

-------

i have this thought recently (i was bored at work so i was thinking about alot of stuff)....i kind of miss hanging out with Clarence and Regina!! it seems real long since i last saw them...and i wonder how they've been these months. not forgetting Grace in Dubai, Mel in Canada and Yisheng in Melbourne. i hang out with my colleagues, Sexists, Patty, Danile and Bertram, Alvin and Jianqi once in a while...but not them!! =(

my colleagues and i thought of this...when we're at work, we'll count down to our next off-day. every week, we'll count down to our next pay-day. and e cycle goes on. haha from next week onwards, my schedule's gonna change to a single shift from 7.30am to 9pm. but instead of our usual 5days work week, we'll be having 4days of work and 3days of rest. i don't know if it's a good or bad thing. well, both have pros and cons!! let's see how we can get through...

recent updates at work...

2009-10-23T13:09:00.000-07:00

2weeks ever since i started work. so far so good. some days, we got to go to e themepark construction site to be part-time security guard. if not, we'll stay in e site office and gossip amongst e people in my batch or play games. haha some of my colleagues said i've became darker as compared to e 1st time they saw me. tell me who won't get tanned after standing under e sun for a few hours? lol

worked for 7days straight and i'm finally getting my long-awaited off days for today and tomorrow!! sad to say, i've got a super bad cough and itchy sorethroat now!! not just me, a few other friends got it too. i suppose it's from all e dust from e site...e worst is drinking water doesn't help much!! =(

soft opening of e themepark is 60+ days away!! and i heard that we're allowed to bring our families and friends to try out e rides during e soft opening!! haha my sis already booked e 1st place...i don't know if it's true and i'm also not sure how many people we're allowed to bring...but who's interested?? first come first serve!!!! lolx

2days into RWS and more to come...

2009-10-08T23:04:00.000-07:00

started working on 7th oct. attended a 2days corporate induction programme at RWS (resorts world at sentosa) training centre at jurong east. together with a group of 57 people, we had much fun and laughter during the programme although it was a first-time meeting for most of us!! people from all walks of life, different ages, different races, from different countries...

in this programme, we learnt about RWS, safety, interaction with guests and most importantly, working as a team!!! we played a few team-bonding games these 2days....the last game we played this afternoon was the most challenging. despite failing many times, we never gave up and continued till we succeeded. and because of our many failed attempts previously, success tasted especially sweet at the end!!

starting from tomorrow, we'll be training at RWS in sentosa itself. *yes! no more long journeys to jurong east. haha* although the next few months will not be easy, but i'm sure this's gonna be an experience which i'll never ever forget!! and with this batch of friends whom i'm trained with, i can foresee hell loads of fun during training and at work!!

Universal Studios Singapore Attractions Crew

2009-09-30T18:38:00.000-07:00

i'm officially an attractions crew of Universal Studios Singapore!!!

went to sign the contract just now, and i'm so looking forward to the start of my job!! haha

i've been to a few themeparks in japan and korea, and it was then that i wish to work in a themepark. *fun environment, interaction with people etc.* it's not some big dream, but i'm still glad that my wish came true.

the pay isn't high (at least compared to e pay given to me by marina bay casino), but i know for sure that i'll love it.

Universal Studios, here i come!!!! =))

patty's dinner dinner...

2009-09-20T00:53:00.000-07:00

went out with Patty, Danile, Bertram and Benjamin in the evening to celebrate Patty's birthday. i found this western restaurant in CHIJMES from a website and we decided to try it out (since it had high reviews and e atmosphere was nice). i must say, the baby back pork ribs which i ordered were really delicious!! got her a hello kitty cake, as requested by birthday girl. haha after a filling dinner, we walked to esplanade and we gossiped alot about those times (which were like just 5months back). lol

i'm sure that after tonight, there's bond to be some problems arising again. let's see what changes will take place....

-------

my cousin-in-law gave birth to a baby girl on thursday (17th sept), named Anne-Marie. with 3 kids currently, they still want to go for a 4th one!! haha as of today, i have 5 nephews and 3 nieces (and more to come). *i feel so old!!!!*

going to my uncle's housewarming party tonight. the house which my uncle rebuilt used to be the house that my mum and her siblings stayed in when they were young. it's situated in s'goon gardens. i guess it's gonna be a mixture of feelings when they step in. same plot of land, same people (except 1 uncle who has passed away) but everything has changed. how nice will it be to reminisce about their childhood days in that new house......

sexists' steamboat at von's place...

2009-09-11T23:49:00.000-07:00

had steamboat with my sentosa friends at Yvonne's place. only Christine, Ashley, Robinson, Zaw, Benny, Barron and i went. as usual, we made crazy videos and took crazy pictures!! haha

*Hyun Joong, get well soon.*

back to OLGC....

2009-08-30T19:20:00.000-07:00

went back to my primary school for a "Meet Your Former Teachers of OLGC" high-tea session. saw quite a number of people from my batch but i didn't recognise most of them. instead, a few still remembered me and that made me surprised. my pr6 chinese teacher didn't forget that my dad is a chinese teacher...she even asked if i want to be a teacher too!! haha

it's the school's 50th anniversary next year and they'll be organising a few events such as dinner and musical. hope to get more people to join in these activities... =)

*Happy Birthday, Jianqi*

crystal jade steamboat...

2009-08-30T11:41:00.000-07:00

had a heavy supper yesterday night. met up with Regina, Grace, Clarence and Eileen Khoo for steamboat and xiao long bao at Holland Village Crystal Jade. Eileen Ho came too but she didn't eat. although majority of us didn't eat much for the day before this meal, we ended up stuffing down the xiao long bao and had much steamboat leftovers. no matter what, it's a really nice meal and it's a good recommendation for my friends.

------

had a helpers' meeting yesterday afternoon at my sis's new home to prepare for her ROM. i didn't realise that her ROM's just 6weeks away!! it seems as though there's so much things to do yet so little time. i thought my job was rather simple, after all she asked me to be the bride's helper. but she ended up giving me alot of extra duties!! seems like i'll be quite busy next month. haha

watched "The Proposal" with my 2nd sis on friday evening. seriously a nice movie...about 3/4 of the show was hilarious!! i laughed till i had tears in my eyes. it had it's touching parts too....really nice. catch it if you're free. =)

congrats lulu....

2009-08-23T23:36:00.000-07:00

congrats my dear sister, Lonisa on being accepted by a chinese uni in Hong Kong!!!

and thanks for letting me be e 1st among your friends to know!! =)

jurong east swimming complex...

2009-08-18T23:56:00.000-07:00

went Jurong East Swimming Complex with Alvin, Jianqi and 2 of his friends, Junkai and SoonChye. they've always wanted to help me overcome my fear for entering the waters but i rejected them many times whenever they asked me to go swimming with them. this time, i thought i'll just go and play with those facilities. well, i only got to play the wave pool and lazy river. wanted to play the slides too but i couldn't enter due to the type of shorts i was wearing. haha

left the place at about 9pm. had dinner at Long John Silver's at Jurong Point. my cough hasn't recovered after a week (cos of e phlegm)...so i wasn't allowed to eat chicken. after much negotiation with JQ, we finally decided that we'll both take the combo with 1 chicken and 1 fish. but he'll give me half of his fish in exchange for half of my chicken. haha well, at least i was still allowed to eat abit. *thanks for your concern* after dinner, we went back to his hall and waited for him as he packed his stuff. his brother sent us home. =)

haix, when will my cough recover?

friends.

2009-08-11T23:58:00.000-07:00

great, now i'm having fever too. haix sian...

*Jianqi & Alvin, sorry for not heeding both of your advice of going to see doctor. i know i'm stubborn. anyway, thanks for your concern.

------

we don't need to have many friends.

most importantly is to have a few close confidante in our life and that's enough.

i'm sick...

2009-08-11T11:39:00.000-07:00

i'm down with a terrible sorethroat. i cough till i feel that my throat's gonna tear. i feel as though i'm gonna cough out blood any moment.

falling sick just after my birthday...how nice can this get. =(

i'm 22!!

2009-08-09T23:50:00.000-07:00

i'm officially 22.

thanks to all my friends who remembered my birthday, be it sms, on facebook or msn. thanks for giving me lovely presents. thanks for giving me free treats (Sexists, Danile & Kenny).

happy birthday...

2009-08-09T00:10:00.000-07:00

happy birthday to Singapore....and to myself!! =)

advance celebration with sexists....

2009-08-08T23:31:00.000-07:00

had an advance birthday celebration with Sexists (Christine, Huijun, Yvonne, Claire, Robinson, Zaw, Benny).

1st time going to Botanic Gardens, 1st time having a picnic.

we were crazy playing with e kite and especially the card games. i guess we were e loudest group in e park. haha forfeit was to finish e sushi and sandwiches (thanks Christine and her mum). we enjoyed it initially but most of us couldn't take it at e end. we also saw e tree that is found behind e $5 note.

had loads of fun today. thanks, my dear sexists, for giving me such an enjoyable celebration. thanks for not letting me pay a single cent. thanks for organising this activity. thanks for everything. =)

meet-up with alvin and jianqi...

2009-08-04T22:38:00.001-07:00

met Jianqi and Alvin for lunch at Plaza Singapura. after that, we walked around PS, heeren and took bus to cityhall....looking for JQ and my present. wanted to eat gelare waffles but there weren't any outlets in cityhall, so we went for anderson's ice-cream!! we shared chocolate fondue and banana split...sinful but heavenly!!! *yummy yummy*

had so much fun today...thanks guys!! =)

meet-up with clar, regi, mel n grace.

2009-08-03T00:34:00.000-07:00

met up with Marielle (after 1 year), Regina, Grace and Clarence. had dinner at Heaven's Loft at Orchard Central, followed by chilling out at KPO which is just beside OC.

great food, great atmosphere, great company, great night!!

Regina, thanks for the birthday present. =)

a night out with sexists....

2009-08-02T11:10:00.000-07:00

met up with sexists (Stine, Von, Jun, Rob, Zaw) for dinner at Tony Roma's at Suntec. Jun's bf, Chris joined us for e 1st time...kinda weird initially but i guess we mixed well with each other as the night passed. after dinner, we spent some time playing at the arcade before taking train down to Yishun Safra for bowling. Ash joined us then...main highlight of e night was Zaw's sabotage!! haha reached home at 2.30am.

i want to play so many things!!

2009-07-31T23:02:00.000-07:00

after watching some shows recently, i want to try:

parachuting (from a mountain top) in Korea,
bungee jump in Bali and
flying fox in Sentosa!!

what else are there? haha

-----

Clarence, thanks for the present from HongKong.

Jianqi, get well soon.

dinner with sexists tomorrow night...let's see what interesting things will happen!! =)

good friends??

2009-07-25T01:25:00.000-07:00

mon (20th july), met Alvin and Jianqi for dinner at Fish&Co at Glass House. JQ treated us to dinner as he wanted to compensate for making me upset last thursday? haha thanks and don't worry, i'm not angry anymore!! as usual, there were some birthday celebrations so the staff sang birthday song for them. it reminded me of Bertram's birthday celebration held there in March. *miss the fun we had that night* sometimes i wish to have a chance to celebrate my birthday there...special memories? haha after dinner, we walked to Iluma and JQ gave us presents he bought from Bangkok. *thanks for always buying presents for us whenever u went overseas.*

today (24th july), i met them for a drinking session at JQ's place. good talks, good laugh, good weather and good company!! =)

-----

had a dicussion with a friend just now, about good friends who are overseas. good friends don't have to always talk on the phone, sms, meet up or even chat on msn...regardless of whether they're in Singapore or overseas. if you can forget good friends after meeting new people, do you still consider those people as your so-called good friends? good friends don't have to keep in contact all the time, it's about being there for them wherever and whenever. the friendship bond will still be strong even if you don't talk to them often. i've got many good friends in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and HongKong so i understand this very well. we can don't talk on msn for a few months, but when they come Singapore, they'll call me and we'll meet up. i guess this thinking differs for every individual. or maybe you should reflect on your thinking, make it the 2 of you.

lunch with michelle and yunxian...

2009-07-22T18:15:00.000-07:00

had lunch with Michelle and Yunxian at Orchard this afternoon. we moved around ION and wanted to find a place to eat there but the food at 1 jap restaruant were kind of over-priced so we ate at Food Republic. we walked to Orchard Central after lunch. we were attracted to the indoor rock-climbing facility and we stood there to watch. and i've got to say, i love the big red sofas in OC. haha

girls, we'll meet again for Swensen's ice-cream soon!! =)

yisheng's departure...

2009-07-17T23:51:00.000-07:00

sent yisheng off at the airport just now...he's going Melbourne to further his studies. he was kind of in a rush after he checked-in...and he didn't turn back after he went in. as what his mum said..."so cool"!! haha take care, see you in december.

regi's blogshop promo...

2009-07-13T22:49:00.001-07:00

NO TIME TO GO SHOPPING?

LAZY TO STEP OUT OF HOUSE?

here's a place where you can get nice clothes at nice prices!!!!

save time, save cost!!!!

Check this out:

http://la-petitmaison.livejournal.com/

now i realise...

2009-07-13T17:45:00.000-07:00

today i realised, it's not that i'm immune to the feelings regarding my family matters. i was just suppressing it all along. it's like the feelings are placed in a small fragile box in my heart most of the time. hidden yet not forgetten. but when a needle pricks the box, emo-ness gets into me.

this was how i felt today, or rather from this moment onwards.

even listening to a 'high' song can make me cry.

to be honest, i've been very envious of my friends all along. because everybody have something which i don't have. and that is a happy and healthy family. *at least not as bad as mine*

if i could turn back time and restart my life, i really wish that i can change everything. not my friends, but my family.

Christine's 20th birthday dinner....

2009-07-11T23:55:00.000-07:00

Happy 20th Birthday, Christine!!!

met up with sexists (Stine, Von, Ash, Ben, Rob, Zaw) at orchard to celebrate Stine's birthday. we had dinner at Yotei Japanese Restaurant at Forum. a meal with numerous cups of drinks (free-flow), jap food (expensive!), racist jokes, catching up and suaning each other!! haha think Benny had a record of 6cups of ice lemon tea? towards the end, the staff didn't even bother to ask what drink is he taking. haha i guess we were probably the loudest group in the restaurant. we also took many crazy pics outside the restaurant...*check out fb albums*!! haha

had hell lots of fun!! thanks guys for the great night!! cya all soon.... =)

sister's ROM prob....

2009-07-08T23:39:00.000-07:00

during the period when i was 11 years old to 19 years old, i've experienced quarrels, illness, death, divorce at court (nearly) in my family. this year, my elder sister is getting married in october. it should be a happy occasion, but because of some problems, it may end up being an unhappy one again.

why can't i experience a really joyous occasion in my family for once?

my sis just asked me for my IC because she got to register (i think so) me as a witness for her ROM. shouldn't parents be the witnesses? why did she ask me instead?

are things really going to turn out the way i hope they don't?

let's wait and see if miracles will appear.

*there can be miracles, when you believe.*

RIP, Michael Jackson

2009-07-08T04:19:00.000-07:00

just finished watching the live telecast of Michael Jackson's memorial service on CNN online. it was a heart-warming yet heart-breaking session. people from different countries, from all walks of life gathered together to celebrate MJ's long yet short life, be it at Staples Centre in Los Angeles or wherever.

i started crying when they sang 'We Are The World' and 'Heal The World' towards the end of the show. the best moment was when his daughter, Paris Michael took over the mic and said these...."ever since i was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. and i just wanted to say i love him so much". short and sweet. and it touched the hearts of many people, including mine.

i'm not a fan of MJ but he's definitely the 'King of Pop' to the world. it's our loss that a music legend has left us. well, as what people say...he didn't leave us, he just went home.

You are not and will not be alone.
Rest in peace, Michael Jackson.

2 busy days out...

2009-07-08T00:12:00.000-07:00

a day out with Regina and Clarence. instead of hanging out in town, we decided to move around the east side today. haha we had lunch at the taiwanese shop at Katong, followed by movie "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" at Tampines Mall and dinner at Changi Village.

met Jianqi and Alvin for dinner yesterday at Square 2. we ate at a korean restaruant. halfway through the meal, we realised that JQ's not a 'korean-cuisine' person. i asked him "then why both of you thought of eating korean food today?". he said "cos you like to eat mah!!". should i say that i was kind of touched? haha anyway thanks guys for accompanying me to eat korean food!!

i think Alvin will be getting me the set of vcds that i hope to get!! and i guess JQ's maybe going to buy the soundtrack that i want? i'll surely like the presents that they give me...but 1 thing that i really really want to get is a new mp3!!! anybody want to sponser? lolx

i pray....

2009-06-25T02:57:00.000-07:00

i pray.

for once, please grant my wish and dream.

just this time round.

honestly. sincerely. truthfully.

Karen's wedding photoshoot on wed...

2009-06-18T15:23:00.000-07:00

helped my sister for her photoshoot yesterday!! it's really tiring man...though i'm not the person taking those wedding photos. we fully understood why people say once is enough!! they took indoor pictures till 4pm..then went to sentosa for sunset and fullerton for nightscenes. we saw quite a number of couples taking wedding photos too...about a total of 8 at sentosa and 5 at fullerton? haha and we were thinking, was it a auspicious day to take pictures yesterday?? lol

*personal favourite picture*

these are just 5 out of 170 pictures that i took. i was rather bored while waiting for them as they did the outdoor shoots, so i took many pictures of myself. haha we were lucky to see the planes with singapore flag fly past and i quickly snapped a picture of them though it was a candid one. i can't wait for the next public holiday to come....which will be national day!! =)

happy birthday Regina and Bedelia (in advance)

2009-06-14T17:09:00.000-07:00

attended my niece, Bedelia's 4years old birthday party just now. (her actual bday is tmr but her parents celebrate in advance for her) and guess what was her birthday cake??

hahaha i was so surprised when i saw e cake!! 2 of my cousins said their children (which means my other nieces and nephews), who usually don't really eat cakes, especially liked it this time round!! lol so they went to ask where was the cake made...and they said Polar Cake Shop!!

Pretty Patty: want 1 for your birthday? =p

of course not forgetting....Regina, Happy Birthday!!! =)

-----------

i don't think i told you guys about this before...i signed up as a volunteer for Singapore Youth Olympics Games 2010!! they had a Volunteers Day event at Expo yesterday, so i went. i haven't attended any of their events although they sent many invites. haha after that, i dropped by Regi's stall at the Katong Flea Market to show support and i also bought a top from her. on the bus-ride home, i pratically slept through the whole journey as i was freaking tired. even till now, i'm still tired. =(

crab feast with rob and val!!!

2009-06-12T23:46:00.000-07:00

crab feast with Robinson and Valerie at Suntec Kuishinbo today!! second time enjoying those Hokkaido crabs!! haha i've always liked something about this restaurant...at certain timings when they off the music, it means that they have some special item coming up!! and it's limited to only 25 each time...so you'll see many people running from various directions to 'fight' for the item and then they'll go back with a delighted look!! hahaha typical singaporeans??

i'm looking forward to the next sexists' outing to the zoo at the end of the month!! =)

sushi buffet with alvin and jianqi...

2009-06-12T00:07:00.000-07:00

craved for sushi for a rather long time!! and finally.....i went for sushi buffet with Jianqi and Aivin at Park Mall Sakae Sushi!! we sat there for 2hours...ate 22plates and 5bowls of chawanmushi. not alot right? haha

another buffet later....more of a crab feast!! *yummy* =))

* we were given some strawberry desserts after the buffet. and when i told them that i don't eat strawberries (only ate it once in Australia since my uncle said the ice-cream was made up of fresh strawberries)....somebody commented "不吃草莓的女生, 不像女生"!!! hahaha because most of the girls around him eat strawberries, so i guess he finds it surprising that i don't eat!! when he said that, the other 2 of us were laughing away. lolx

** i'm starting to realise that my favourite section in bookstores is the travel section!! since i can't travel for the time being, it's nice to look at travel books too!! lolx

*** Regi, sorry to say this but i've got to give you a belated present. hope you don't mind. =(

i miss miko n szeling....

2009-06-09T11:03:00.000-07:00

i suddenly miss the big 豆沙包 that Szeling and Miko bought for me from Malaysia when we still had lessons that time...haha.

when can we meet again? hmm...

thanks patty....

2009-06-09T03:36:00.000-07:00

Dear pretty Patty,

thanks for making that decision!! looking forward to seeing you soon....

take care

love ya,
Jas

busy week...and i want to travel!!!

have been rather lazy to update over the past 1 week. *sorry guys*

sun (31/05): went to Crystal's place for dinner. her dad cooked chilli crabs and fried omelette for us. sumptous meal....and it cured the craving i had for crabs. haha it was supposed to be a mini gathering but a few people couldn't make it last-minute, so left with Ken and me. after dinner, we went to her room to chit-chat. also watched a few hilarious korean videos on youtube before we left. thanks girl for that night.

mon (01/06): met Clar, Regi and Grace for a meal of meatballs, chicken wings, pasta, brocolli and salmon at Tampines IKEA. we were talking abt ZHSS and coincidentally, we met Mr Choo Wei Bin (my sec1 form teacher). we also agreed on visiting the school the next day. after dinner, we moved around IKEA before going to Changi Airport T3 for ice-cream at Earle Swensen's.

tues (02/06): had lunch at ZHSS with Regi, Grace and Clar. not many stalls were open...we had malay food. it felt and tasted great. after lunch, we moved around the school and even entered the classroom which we were in during sec4. so nostalgic. i left early as i had a ktv session with Alvin and Jianqi at Bugis. it was a rather fun session (took turns to emo, cushion-hitting etc). after the session, we moved around Bugis for a while before i went off for my family dinner at Merchant Court. it was to celebrate my grandma's birthday. the buffet at the restaurant didn't offer much varieties. i prefer the buffet at Traders Hotel. though it's $10 more, but they had better food and more varieties. =)

went out on wed and fri too but it wasn't as happening as those 3days. haha anyway i dont know why i'm so tired these few days. it seems as though no matter how many hours i sleep, i'll still feel tired. i wasn't like this previously. i guess stamina's failing, or because i'm getting old? lolx

many people around me are travelling recently, be it sister, relatives or friends. to be honest, i'm envious of them. some people may say that i've travelled alot last time as well so there's nothing to be envious about. i don't know man, i've tried to suppress my feelings everytime i hear somebody tell me that they're going overseas. i told myself that i can do that too next time. but i just can't help to feel envious. i haven't gone on a trip ever since my mum fell sick in 2006. and i don't know when's the next time.

trusting n believing?

2009-05-31T02:00:00.000-07:00

there is a song by S Club 7 "never had a dream come true". i think "never have a dream come true" suits me more. or should it be "havent had a dream come true"?

we used to be very close. somehow, i feel that we aren't that close recently. i hope we aren't drifting apart. or am i just thinking too much?

was talking to a friend just now and we talked about trusting people. it brought me to this question...is trusting people easily a good or bad thing? advantage of trusting easily is that people like to talk to you as you're able to understand them from their point of view. disadvantage is that being so naive and gullible, people can bluff you and you just fall into their words. i don't deny that i trust people very easily, i'm also rather simple-minded so i won't think too much into people's words. and sometimes, only to find myself being cheated. good or bad? you decide.

i believe my friends' words because i trust them. i hope you won't lie to me again, especially when i trusted your words and helped you to speak from your point of view to others before. well, maybe i'm not in the position to say this. because i lie too. i'm sorry.

difficult question?

2009-05-26T02:15:00.000-07:00

Alvin just asked me this question on msn: "what do you want most in life? can only choose one." i didn't know how to answer him.

if you were given this question, what will your answer be?

equal treatment?

2009-05-26T00:27:00.000-07:00

i feel that i'm not giving equal treatment to my friends. or rather, good friends. certain people, i have high expectations from them. certain group, i don't expect anything in return. i don't know where this unfairness came from.

maybe it's time to do some self-criticism.

*when there are no expectations, a small surprise can also bring about large happiness. (i should truely learn to understand this.)

a walk down memory lane...

2009-05-20T21:00:00.000-07:00

since Jianqi have off and we were on the topic of our good ol' zhonghua days when we met last week, Alvin, he n i decided to visit our secondary school today. many teachers who taught our batch left already, most of the teachers now are rather young. but we still got to meet 4 teachers who taught our class that time...

Mrs Koh (A.Maths and Form teacher): doesn't seem to have changed much and doesn't seem to have aged as well. rather surprised that she still remembers us, considering we graduated in 2003. she asked if we're still in contact with other people and if we have class gathering every year. haha

Mrs See (E.Maths teacher): on the other hand, she seems to have aged alot. guess she found us familiar when we waved to her but doubt she remembers us. she's still the HOD for maths dept.

Mrs Wong (Geography and Form teacher): she was telling us about how some of her ex-students who went overseas and visited the national parks, and they emailed her about it.

Ms Ting (Physics teacher): her classic 'right, k' was something that we used to imitate. she's still saying it now. haha she wanted to buy us drinks when we met her at the canteen, but we were about to leave so didn't take up the offer.

Mdm Lau (Discipline mistress - used to be): i used to not have a good impression of her. in fact, we always got scared whenever we see her coming. because i remember always seeing her scold and punish students. but when we went back today, she gave me a totally different impression. she didn't seem as fierce as how she was. she spoke to us as though she taught us before, even if she didn't. she even asked us to join the alumni. anybody's interested? haha

they have a new building beside the basketball courts...which consists of a street soccer court and a sheltered bball court. the classrooms are in a mess now...i mean it's no longer all sec1 classes on 1 level and stuff. it's kind of jumbled up. they also have many art pieces pasted around the school. haha anyway it was a good trip back to the place which held so much memories of my school life. hope we can go back again... =)

---------

i just bought 4 tops/dresses from Regi's online shop...for a total of $76. i'm still considering a 5th item which is a dress, and a top from another friend's online shop. haha girls, check out these shops when you're free....

http://la-petitmaison.livejournal.com/ - 2 sales now on!! new collection comes with free gift for purchases above $40!!
http://drunway.livejournal.com/ - spring collection and new collection of dresses.

*to whom it may concern, sorry if i offended you in my previous post.*

it seems like everybody's out to make me emo now.

2009-05-17T03:23:00.000-07:00

you said your mum threw away all your Quiksilver t-shirts so as to make way for your new clothes from your trip.

i guess that includes the shirt that was given by me.

in e first place, i bet you can't even remember that i bought you a QS shirt from Melbourne as your birthday present 3years back.

i suddenly find it pointless to give birthday presents every year and getting nothing in return. especially to people who don't appreciate.

somehow i feel that everybody are all out to make me emo at this time.

*Lulu, i promise you that i'll ask my dad about letting me go HK in july to attend your birthday party. pray that swine flu cases will stop increasing.*

so be it.

2009-05-15T13:30:00.000-07:00

There are many things that no matter how hard we try, we just can't achieve what we hope to achieve...be it family, friendships, love, studies.

Or maybe, i didn't try hard enough.

Some people say, the process is more important or it's good as long as you tried your best. But in Singapore, sad to say, end-result plays a bigger part than the process.

----------

1 said to let him be the 1 some day to break the 6 letters. 1 said after the other 3 return, he'll only meet us when he succeeds with money, if not he can't find any reason to see us (good luck!).

since both of you said these, so be it.

everybody hope that i can understand them. ok, i try my best to understand and i hope i will. on the other hand, who understands me?

*sorry for the bad mood. i guess it's snow white's turn now.*

work vs studies....

2009-05-09T01:57:00.000-07:00

on monday, i received a call from Sentosa Resorts World to go for an interview for the position of crew with Universal Studios next monday. they sent me some forms which i'm to fill up and bring it for the interview. in 1 of e forms, there are these questions "are you able to attend training overseas for 3months (for shortlisted candidates)?" and "are you willing to serve a bond with RWS for 2years?". these set me thinking about this....work vs studies, which will you choose?

i guess most people will vote for work? with such a good job opportunity in front of you, who wouldn't take it up? and at this point where jobs are hard to find...all the more i should grab hold of this chance? having a degree cert is important in Singapore, but this being a once in a lifetime opportunity which i may not get it again if i do my degree first, i feel it's not wrong to choose work over studies now? morever there'll be overseas training provided!! who knows, if i can hold back my studies and get this job, it'll be able to lead me to better job prospects in this field. and i definitely don't want to regret next time about having given up this post...after all, it's the experience that i'm looking for.

sigh, having said so much, it all depends on whether i can get through the interview and get the job *which i sincerely hope that i can*. wish me luck!! =)

by the way, if you're me, will you make the same choice? hmm...

movies and kbox over these 2days...

2009-05-05T00:46:00.000-07:00

watched 2 movies these 2 days..."Xmen Origin: Wolverine" with my sister on sunday, "Friday the 13th" with Danile and his friend this afternoon. Xmen movie was nice, as what most people will expect of the show. and i was surprised at the number of people in the cinema, considering it being a sunday morning and we watched the first showtime for the day at 11.30am. "Friday the 13th" is, i shall say, a gross show. the way the teenagers were killed in the movie were really gruesome. that's why it's M18. haha anyway doubt i'll talk more about the movie...before some of you start puking in front of your computer. lolx watch the movie if you want to know what i mean!! =P

had a kbox session with Jianqi and Alvin just now (from 8pm to 11pm). i'll call it an emo kbox session, because 95% of the songs that we sang were rather emo. we sang most of the songs for Jianqi...*i'm sorry if we made you think about her*. though emo, but we kind of enjoyed the session. after all, this's the first time 3 of us went kbox together. haha i sang many songs and some of them reminded me of the group of friends again...

'Cai Hong' - thought of Bert
'Xin Tiao' - thought of Ken
'Pu Gong Ying De Yue Ding' - thought of Dan
'Xia Yu Tian' - thought of Pat
'Shui Xian Mu Xiang Wo Zhe Yang Qiang De Ren' - thought of Lulu

i hope we can go for a ktv session again when you guys come back. anyway the swine flu incident has been rather bad in many countries. wherever you are, take good care of yourself and don't fall sick. *this applies to all my friends in Singapore as well*

sexists' gathering at christine's place...

2009-05-01T23:05:00.000-07:00

had a gathering with my sentosa ex-colleagues today at christine's place!! a day of curry, dvd-watching (high school musical 3 and twilight), mahjong, uno, claire's belated 20th celebration.

this gathering reminded me of the one i had at my place a few weeks ago, with my group (B, D, K, L, P). *i seriously miss those times* anyway stine, thanks to you and your parents for letting us come to your place and for the food!! jun n rob, i'm definitely looking forward to our next kukus' outing!! =)

i'm so tired already....

2009-04-27T22:31:00.000-07:00

i'm so tired that sometimes i just feel like..........

i don't know how to finish the statement. i only know that i'm starting to get very tired of everything. recently i feel like not caring about my friends' problems anymore but i just 做不到.

suddenly i feel that i'm giving too much and not receiving anything. 1 friend told me before that nobody will always be giving, someday, they'll receive too. but will i ever be on the receiving end? beats me....

sometimes i wonder, who really understands me? or rather, who knows what i want? i can understand everybody around me, but do they understand me? seriously, i'm getting tired of having expectations and hearing promises. maybe not having expectations for anything makes my life happier.

i don't know what's the purpose of and the meaning behind this entry. i just feel frustrated and tired. i'm sorry guys.

B, D, K, L, P....i miss you guys.

2009-04-23T23:31:00.000-07:00

*this is an entry specially dedicated to my 5 good friends*

Last tues, Lonisa returned to GuangZhou. Last thurs, Bertram returned to Sabah. Last sat, Patty returned to Vietnam. A group of 6 who had so much fun over the past 4.5months, took so many photos together, had so much memories with each other, is now left with the 3 locals (Kenny, Danile and me). Till today, a week later, there is never a day when i don't think of the times we had.

I miss:

The places we went - Jurong Point, Cityhall, Bugis, Raffles Place, Vivocity, Esplanade rooftop, Orchard (esp Cineleisure), Clarke Quay, Sentosa, East Coast, TopOne KTV, Dan's house, my house
The places we ate - Swensens, Fish&Co, Starbucks, Steamboat, Crystal Jade Yum Cha
The games we played - Truth or Dare, word-finding game, poker cards, 终极密码
The songs we sang - mainly 下雨天, 彩虹, 心跳 (our group's theme songs)
The jokes we made - Dan's "giordona", Ken's "谁的骨?", Pat's "明点" (明天几点 in short)
The movies we watched
The comments we wrote in facebook
The photos we took

All these are just an extract of our memories from the 4.5months. It'll be a long list if I were to mention all of them. Other then happy moments, we had our fair share of unhappy and angry times as well. But it's through all these moments, that helped me to know you all better. With the group, I experienced many first times. Of which include...1st time hand-making scrapbooks for 7people, 1st time doing photo puzzle for friends, 1st time writing letters for friends, 1st time to be willing to study in school (even on saturdays), 1st time eating out almost everynight, 1st time taking so many photos in such a short time, 1st time being a listener to 5people.

I don't know what will happen when you all come back. I don't know if we'll still be as close as how we were. I don't know if any of us will change. But I'll count down to the days when the 3 of you return. I'll count down to the day when we all meet and have a meal together again. I'll count down to the day when we can go for fine-dining. =)

Praying for you all.
Miss you all.
Love you all.

dhoby ghaut, airport, orchard, airport

2009-04-18T16:31:00.000-07:00

15th april: met Bertram, Danile, Patty, Kenny at Dhoby Ghaut. our initial meeting time was 6pm but since Bert couldn't make it in the evening, so we met at 3.30pm instead. had an early dinner at Astons at The Cathay, then walked to Bugis as Bert got to meet his cousin to buy some stuff. after moving around Bugis Street, we went Starbucks (our usual hangout place) to relax. before Lonisa left, she gave Pat a Starbucks voucher and she used it to buy a large caramel drink which we all shared. haha by the way, Pat and I wore the same style that day!! we didn't discuss beforehand what to wear so we were quite surprised by e coincidence!! haha nice one, sister!! =)

16th april: the day of Bertram’s departure. *he's going back Sabah for 3 months* wanted to eat Burger King with him since it’s his favourite, but he msged me in the afternoon saying he’ll be eating with his cousins, so the rest of us ate chicken rice. we met him at Budget Terminal. chat with him for a while, took some pics and he had to go in already. after which, we went Bugis to eat dessert. along the way, Pat and I were so high that we kept laughing over lame stuff *which I don’t know why too* and Dan kept saying we’re mad. haha

17th april: went out with Pat, Ken and Dan again. wanted to catch the 3pm '17 again' and 7.20pm 'Love' yesterday, but Pat had to go ICA and we didn’t know what time she’ll be done. we met at ICA at 2.30pm. she was done by about 3pm and we went town to buy tickets for 5.20pm '17 again'. we shopped before the movie. the show was quite hilarious…and I never knew Zac Efron was so good-looking, esp 1 scene when he stepped out of the car. haha we continued to move around and had dinner at Food Republic. separated ways at 9+pm as Pat had to pack her stuff.

18th april: the day of Patty’s departure. *she's going back Vietnam for 5 months but will be coming Sg for 2weeks in June* Ken, Dan n I met at 12pm at airport T1, Pat came at 12.30pm. after she checked-in (which took quite some time as the weight of her luggage was seriously over the limit), we ate at Popeyes. she went in at about 1.45pm.

and now, from a group of 6, is left with e 3 locals. i guess this officially marks e end of our 4.5months of joy, laughter, sadness and anger. miss you guys. =(

my place, bugis, airport

2009-04-14T23:55:00.000-07:00

12th april: as said in the earlier post, the same group (B, D, K, L, P) came over to my place that day. went to fetch Lulu first, came home and rest for less than 10mins before Bert called to say that he's reaching s'goon stn soon. since he didn't remember how to walk to my place, so we walked up to stn and fetch him. Dan managed to figure out the way to my place from the bus interchange, but Ken and Pat also didn't remember so i walked to stn to meet them while the other 3 stayed at my house to watch Jay Chou's 'Secret'. we bought a cake for Lulu and she cried as she was very touched (her birthday's in july but she won't be in Sg then so we celebrate 3 months in advance). my dad cooked chicken rice for dinner and Lulu cooked 木瓜雪耳糖水for my family and us after dinner. by the way, thanks again to Pat and Ken for the lovely card and present.

13th april: we met at Bugis and went to sing at TopOne Ktv from around 1.30pm to 5.30pm for just $16/pax. had an early dinner at Swensens and we went home at 7pm cos Lulu had to pack her stuff.

14th april: the day of Lulu's departure. *she's going back to GuangZhou* i went to Lulu's place first to help her and Pat carry the luggages. met Dan and Ken at the airport T1. after checking-in, we ate at Popeyes. Bert rushed to the airport in time to talk to Lulu for a while before she went in. when she went in, we went to the viewing mall to find the plane that she's taking. we talked as we waited for her plane to take off. we separated ways after that, Bert went to meet his cousin to buy some stuff while the 4 of us went Pasir Ris to watch "Knowing".

at the airport today, i gave them a 2nd surprise, photo jigsaw puzzle and a letter each *that's why all of them are carrying a bag fr "Gift-A-Name*. haha i made a puzzle for myself too, as memory. Dan and Pat told me they were very touched after reading the letter that i wrote for them. sorry guys if you didn't like the photo that i used to make the jigsaw. other pics, either not very nice, or have other people in the pic as well. but still, i'm glad that you all liked the present. i just want to say again,

我不是为每个朋友都付出那么多, 但因为是你们, 让我觉得做再多也不会累. =)

steamboat, east coast, sentosa

2009-04-12T10:43:00.000-07:00

*Caution - all photos in this post and probably the next 2 posts are taken with the same people (Patty, Lonisa, Kenny, Bertram, Danile and I)*

9th april: together with the group of friends (L, P, D, B, K)...we went for steamboat at Novena Zheng Fa after school and they liked it. *my recommendation again haha* after dinner, Bertram went home and the rest of us went Raffles Place to hang out for a while.

10th april: we went East Coast Park to cycle. it was very crowded as it was a public holiday. Pat and I had a chance to ride on the 2-people bicycle, driven by Bertram!! haha overall, it was fun n relaxing. it started pouring as we had lunch at a jap restaurant at ECP. after lunch, we went Dhoby Ghaut to watch Shinjuku Incident. a gruesome show (well, just certain parts actually), but not bad after all.

11th april: we went Sentosa to suntan, play vball and frisbee (UFO as called by Danile). we reached there at about 1pm and it was already packed everywhere. Dan came at 3+pm, played for an hour or so and the rain came again. we took turns to have our shower...and finally left Sentosa at nearly 7pm. had dinner at the foodcourt in Suntec, followed by chilling out at our old place, Esplanade rooftop.

our agenda didn't stop here. we have plans for next few days as well. haha of course, they wont be as tiring as past few days. at least, we all can have a good sleep now. anyway my gang is coming over to my place later. i'll update the pics again.....cya all!! =)

shopping with clar...dinner with gang.

2009-03-30T23:00:00.000-07:00

went shopping with Clarence this afternoon. went from orchard (practically whole stretch) to cityhall (all 4 shopping malls in e area)!! 5.5 hours of walking....definitely a good exercise!! haha and this friend....e more he shops, e more things added on to his 'i want' list. think i can call him a shopalic too!! lolx anyway we parted ways at cityhall stn....i went vivo to meet Lonisa, Patty, Kenny and Danile for dinner, though we met in e morning too.

they told me that Daniel Wu and Jackie Chan will show up at vivo to promote their show so they're waiting to see e 2 stars. haha when i reached at 6.45pm, it was kinda waste of time if we just stood there to wait. so we went for dinner at Dian Xiao Er.

*LONISA

*PATTY

*KENNY

*DANILE

*ME

after dinner, Lonisa and i waited for them at starbucks while they went to see e 2 stars. Ken came back with e comment "Jackie Chan's nose is really big"!! hahaha and Dan said "Daniel Wu doesn't seem as man as he is on screens"...lol well, at least they got e chance to meet them. we moved around till nearly 10pm and went home...

bertram's 19th bday dinner...n esplanade!!

2009-03-20T11:43:00.000-07:00

at last, had a good sleep yesterday night!! my total sleeping time over past 2days (tues n wed night) was not more than 3.5hours....wonder how i managed to pull through those 2 long days!! anyway after class on wed...lonisa, patty, miko, szeling, kenny, danile, benjamin and i celebrated bertram's birthday at dhoby ghaut!! patty forgot to bring something important so kenny accompanied her home to take e item, while e rest of us waited at dhoby ghaut stn. when they finally came, we went to fish&co at glass house for dinner. after that, miko n szeling went back m'sia, e rest of us walked to esplanade rooftop, only to find out that a new bar has been opened there. so we entered...

i've always wanted to celebrate my birthday there...instead, i organised this celebration for bertram. nevertheless, hope bday boy enjoyed himself e whole night!! Happy Birthday, my dear brother!!

yesterday, i finally finished e 7 scrapbooks that i wanted to give them (lulu, pat, miko, sl, dan, ken, bert)!! it's more challenging this time round, as compared to e first time when i did for 4 of my friends. this time, it's fully hand-made, even to the album itself. n e fact that i'm actually doing it for 7 people is already a challenge, considering the number of photos that we took over these 2-3months. it wasn't nicely done, because i rushed through at the end, but they were still happy and touched by this surprise. lonisa wrote in her blog that she cried when she hugged me yesterday, luckily none of us realised it, if not we surely won't be able to go for movie after that. thanks guys =)

sentosa with dan, ken, lulu n pat!!

2009-03-13T23:10:00.000-07:00

updates from sun to today...

2009-02-24T23:37:00.000-08:00

have been going out recently. sun, met Meishan and Yinsan for dinner at junction 8. wanted to eat at manhattan fish market but there was a long queue. so we settled for swensens. Meishan footed the bill *thanks friend*!! haha they were saying the next time we meet, we'll go to Tricia's workplace. it won't be just the 3 of us, hope Andrea, Regina and Grace are free to join too. haha somehow it's fun when we talk about the memories we had during the secondary school days. we'll meet up again...preferably in march or april. =)

mon, went vivo with my coursemates after class. we didn't go there to shop, just went there specially for shihlin chicken and oyster mee sua!! 6 of us had 5bowls of oyster mee sua, 3plates of chicken, 1plate of sausage crepe and 5cups of ice-milo. see how crazy were we? and to think most of us still went home for dinner. lol but it was a nice shihlin session though....maybe we'll go back and eat again? haha

today, Lonisa, Bertram and i went to Crystal's place to see her 2 huskys (Silver and Brownie)!! was quite scared so i stayed on the stairs most of the time. *i'm ok with e small dogs but big dogs...i still can't overcome* haha we left her place at nearly 6pm and went bugis for steamboat. it was quite nice despite not having many varieties. but 1 idiotic guy spoiled our mood for a moment. he's such a disgrace lah!! we rolled our eyes many times because of the words that he said. dont understand how can there be such a person!! nevertheless, we still enjoyed the dinner. =P

we'll go for steamboat again to celebrate Bertram's birthday in march!! hahaha somehow, this group of friends n i are simply steamboat-lovers!! lol

i want to visit New Caledonia!!!

2009-02-24T09:56:00.000-08:00

have been watching a korean drama recently and there was a time which they filmed in New Caledonia!! in this scene, the male lead and the female lead sat in a helicopter and brought her to see this......

isn't it sweet? haha i googled it to find out more about this place. New Caledonia is part of French Republic. i realised that there's also a heart-shape island near Moreton Island in Brisbane.

oh man....i think i'm going to save up to check out all these islands myself!!! haha or rather, i want a holiday!!!!! lol

i'm sorry, clarence.

2009-02-21T02:11:00.000-08:00

was talking to a friend on msn a while ago. he said "anyway seems like u hv been leading a v busy life nowadays eh", "wanna ask u out always cannot. talk on the phone also not free." i'm sorry friend, not that i don't want to hang out with you guys (i know it has been quite some time since i last met you all...e last time was 3weeks ago?). just that the times when you want to go out are the times when i have lessons, if not i've already arranged to go out with other friends then you all call me. seems like i'm the one drifting away now...meet up soon ya? i promise i'll try and make it *provided i don't have any plans arranged beforehand*!! so so sorry =(

movie with patty, lonisa, bertram, kenny

2009-02-21T00:09:00.000-08:00

watched movie with Lonisa, Patty, Kenny and Bertram at cineleisure after class just now. "He's Just Not That Into You"....nice show although it was a lil boring at the beginning.

"Gigi just wants a man who says he'll call--and does--while Alex advises her to stop sitting by the phone. Beth wonders if she should call it off after years of committed singlehood with her boyfriend, Neil, but he doesn't think there's a single thing wrong with their unmarried life. Janine's not sure if she can trust her husband, Ben, who can't quite trust himself around Anna. Anna can't decide between the sexy married guy, or her straightforward, no-sparks standby, Conor, who can't get over the fact that he can't have her. And Mary. who's found an entire network of loving, supportive men, just needs to find one who's straight.

If you've ever sat by the phone wondering why he said he would call, but didn't, or if you can't figure out why she doesn't want to sleep with you anymore, or why your relationship just isn't going to the next level...he (or she) is just not that into you."

*i also want to watch "Marley & Me" and "The Other End Of The Line"....who's interested?? haha

KTV session and swensens dinner with coursemates

2009-02-17T23:58:00.000-08:00

went ktv with my coursemates after school today. a few of us had lunch together before school, and i don't know why but we just started singing on our way back to school (just the girls). the guys probably thought we're crazy or something. haha anyway, that sparked the thought for a ktv session after class. so Lonisa, Miko, Crystal, Szeling, Bertram, Danile, Kenny n i headed down to bugis. we sang from 4pm to 7pm, though short but it was really high, to e extent that we stood on the sofa!! haha dinner at swensen's after that, followed by playing some games at e arcade (the guys only) and lastly, hanging out at starbucks.

reached home at 11.30pm. a super long day. but it was fun, i really like hanging out with this group of friends!! there is 1habit within this group, and that is to comment on the photos when i upload them in facebook!! haha i can foresee that my inbox is going to be flooded again!!! lolx thanks guys for the cool night. cya all in school tmr.....*sianx*.

Valentine's Day celebration...

2009-02-15T16:36:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentine's Day (belated)!!! haha spent v'day with Patty, Lonisa and her friend WeiWei, Bertram, Kenny, Danile and his friend Daryl!! went for dinner at Pasta De Waraku followed by chilling out at Clinic.

8 of us drank 8jugs of carlsberg in abt 1-2hours!! not just that, we also broke 3glasses that night. haha first was danile who broke e mouth of his glass when we cheers-ed, then my glass dropped when i was trying to get them to take pic (i got a small cut on my toe; didn't realise until i went to the washroom), lastly was bertram whose glass also dropped (he got a small cut near his fingers)!! kenny was already gone within 2hours or so. we played truth or dare towards e end...n 1 dare that patty had to do was to kiss me. haha we really kissed on e lips in e end but e picture wasn't captured. bertram, lonisa and her friend left at 11+pm. we left at around 12.30am. danile's friend sent me home, after dropping patty and kenny off. (both of them were really drunk and to think i was sitting between them in e car) haha after yesterday night, i knew alot of secrets, about who liking who and stuff. can only say, complicated!!

p/s : Danile, Kenny & Bertram, thanks for the dinner treat!! =)

*full set of pics in facebook*

geylang with szeling, danile n kenny!!

2009-02-12T23:19:00.000-08:00

went geylang with szeling, danile n kenny after school. e 2guys had to take some pics for an assignment so szeling n i tagged along!! had frog leg porridge for dinner...dan had pork ribs rice as he doesn't like frog leg!! *strange arh...don't like durian n frog leg!! but we got him to try those 2 with us!!* haha after geylang, dan, ken n i went to raffles place/cityhall as they wanted to buy clothes!! *i love e blue bridge in e last pic*

Sexists' CNY gathering...

2009-02-07T23:55:00.000-08:00

had a CNY gathering (or rather, reunion dinner) with sexists today, at michelle rachel's place. not many people turned up, but we enjoyed the night. we had steamboat, lao yusheng, played mahjong, played with mich's pets and drew on e mich's glass wall!!

as usual, whole album has been put on facebook.

*christine, i'll send you the whole album when you come online. (couldn't send through email) michelle, thanks to your parents and you for letting us go to your place!!

Danile's bday celebration

2009-02-05T23:44:00.000-08:00

went cityhall with my friends after class today, mainly to celebrate danile's birthday!! we had dinner at yuki-yaki where we sat for 4hours (5pm to 9pm). *it's definitely a record for all of us* haha we ate steamboat/teppanyaki and ice-cream!! played pool after dinner...

*whole album up on facebook*

anyway, happy birthday danile!! hope you enjoyed yourself tonight. see ya tmr =)

meet-up with clarence, regina, yisheng n grace.

2009-02-02T20:39:00.000-08:00

Happy Chinese New Year!! late post!!! (have been rather lazy to blog recently) haha anyway here are some updates...

chinese new year was the same as before, visiting, eating, getting angbaos and playing with my nieces and nephews. thurs, met up with regina, clarence, yisheng and grace. we had dinner at Manhattan Fish Market, followed by chilling at The Cavern *i love the place*, and lastly prawning at punggol-marina country club. first prawning experience...and we got 4prawns in 1.5hours!! *i caught one of them lol*

P/s: mel and grace, thanks for that lovely present from canada. i like it alot. =)

------

i received a cny card from hwee sian on wed. she did the card herself. it was a simple one, but i could feel the effort that she put into making the card. considering we aren't on close terms, basically not even in contact (the last time i saw her was in 2007?), yet she bothered to send me a card. trust me, i was really surprised when i saw her name in the card. haha no offense, but i get this feeling sometimes, 'the less close someone is to you, the more you'll get from them'? i don't know how to express this. it's not the first time i feel that way already. maybe it just happens to me.

sun, met alvin and jianqi after many failed attempts to meet previously. and i finally got to treat them to lunch at xinwang cafe, when they have been the ones treating me all along *since the first time we met up last year*. we went to bishan after lunch, as jianqi had to buy valentine's day present for his gf. how sweet. i don't deny i was abit jealous, haha but we still helped him to choose present. this year, another lonely valentine's day. haix

meet-up with SIM DE tut grp mates

2009-01-16T23:38:00.000-08:00

had a meet-up with my SIM DE tutorial mates, after 1yr and 3mths. haha we had a meet-up in 2007 too, but it seemed like it was more fun this time round. haha almost everybody came after the arranged meeting time, and some of them said they couldn't recognise me at first when they saw me. lol anyway we went to fish&co at glass house for dinner. i love that place alot, with the nice atmosphere, music and stuff. we also took many pics in there. after that, we went to chill at plaza singapura starbucks.

these were some of the group pictures that we took. whole album is up on facebook. kinda lazy to choose e pics to be uploaded here since i've already posted them there. (yah and that was the first album i created) haha it was definitely a fun night hanging out with them, thanks for making the effort to turn up for this gathering!! we'll find time to meet again, probably in april or so?? take care and see you guys again~~

-----

i've been thinking about this and was wondering if should say it. for the first time, i've decided to do so. normally, how to say? i wouldn't 'dare' to get the words out of my mouth?? i'm not sure why too, i guess it's because i know this group of friends are busy and even if i say it, it probably won't happen. so i didn't do so to prevent myself from getting disappointed. actually, i'm hoping to have a small reunion dinner with clarence, regina, grace and yisheng together. not sure if it'll really take place since i've said it. well, no harm trying my luck though. cya all soon.

steamboat with coursemates!!!

2009-01-13T23:39:00.000-08:00

that's the picture taken at michelle rachel's 21st birthday celebration. oh yes, did i mention about mich being smashed with cake on her face by melissa and yvonne?? haha poor girl, but anyway happy 21st birthday!!! (actual day's tomorrow)

today, had steamboat with my coursemates at bugis after school. we went to chongqing huoquo. there were supposed to be more people joining us but ended up just 5 of us, danile, bertram, patty, miko and me. we moved around bugis street while waiting for time to pass. we can't help but to keep looking at the time as we were getting hungry. at 4+pm, we finally walked over to the steamboat shop.

after this early dinner, miko went amk to meet her friend and e rest of us walked to suntec to look at movie showtimes. apparently there weren't any nice timeslots (maybe Red Cliff was available but a few of us weren't interested in that show). we decided to head to The Cathay, and we were in time to catch Transporter 3!! it's a nice show, the male lead Jason Statham definitely has a nice and sexy bod!!! lol and you can never believe (at least for me) how awesome an Audi can be!! being shot by a machine gun for like a hundred times and the car still seems fine, hit the car in front but it still looked perfect, having sunk into the waters for quite some time and yet it could still be driven after that as though nothing happened. watch the show and you'll understand what i mean!! haha

P/S: if you noticed, i cut my hair short and rebonded it again. a friend of mine kept asking why don't i perm my hair for a change. perming my hair isn't in my consideration at all (at least not at this age). reason being, i don't like permed hair and it makes me look old. well, maybe when i get older and i decide to have long hair again, i'll consider perming. but for now, i'll just stick to the short and rebonded style. haha

gonna be an exciting week....

2009-01-10T23:49:00.000-08:00

went for michelle rachel's 21st birthday party just now. not many sexists went (at least the people that i'm close with). stine, von, rob and i bought a bottle of chardonnay for her, yet we drank more than the birthday girl did. haha

some of them were discussing about their 21st celebrations next year, and the thought of turning 22 this year came to my mind again. there's a saying, when you pass 21 years old, the years will flow past very quickly. i'm beginning to believe this statement. previously, we were talking about how to celebrate our 21st birthdays, now we talk about getting married. i guess it's always this case? before 21 years old, everybody wish to grow up quickly because they can get complete freedom then. yet now, i wish to go back to a few years ago.

for a moment, i just hope that time will slow down itself.

anyway come monday, i'll be meeting michelle and chiekling for dinner at chompchomp. tues, will be steamboat with my coursemates and i'll be having my diploma tutorial group gathering this friday. it's gonna be a fun week (i hope). lol and CNY is just 2weeks away!!

*Sexists: lets have a reunion dinner soon?? steamboat will be great (as von suggested)!! haha cya all. =)

happy new year!!

2009-01-01T00:05:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year everybody!!!

Have a blissful 2009!!

Looking forward to an exciting year ahead!!

Enjoy!!

*new year, new start, new fun, new memories*

last day of 2008

2008-12-31T00:48:00.000-08:00

last day of 2008.
364 days passed unknowingly, and now we're just a day away from 2009.

2008:
i had my fair share of tears and laughter, happiness and sadness, ups and downs. i recovered many friendships whom i haven't been contacting much over the years. Regina, Grace, Marielle, Andrea, Meishan, Yisheng, Alvin and Jianqi, thanks for being back in contact again. i also became closer with Sexists and Kukus (Huijun, Christine, Robinson, Yvonne, Claire, Zaw etc) through many birthday celebrations and surprise attacks *and more to come*. of course, not forgetting friends whom i've always been in constant contact with, thanks for everything. i learnt many lessons this year, and it definitely helped me to become a better person.

as much as i've celebrated many birthdays this year, there were also the passing of many people, including artistes from around the world and my history teacher. life is really fragile and anybody can just collapse any moment. this makes me all the more appreciate each time i meet my friends. thanks, my friends, for staying healthy and letting our friendship last longer.

i don't have any resolutions, only wish for more independence and freedom. i'm happy when people around me are happy.

come january, it's going to be an eventful month. besides CNY, i'll also be meeting meishan, a kbox and steamboat session with my coursemates, having my diploma tutorial group gathering as well as meeting up with my diploma girls. not forgetting michelle rachel's 21st too. meanwhile, take care everybody and meet up soon!! =))

-----

31st dec of every year, i'll think of the countdown party we had at yisheng's place in 2003, with other sec4 classmates. miss the night, miss the fun, miss the group. i'm always hoping to have the gathering again, even if it's just a few of us. but i don't know when this will happen. hopefully next year?

did weiting really do that???

2008-12-26T18:34:00.000-08:00

i'm beginning to suspect that my friend didn't transfer money to me at all, and she bluffed that she did. (yes, the same girl who still owes me money for e psp) well last year-end, we went to the siloso beach party together and i paid for her ticket first. after that, she said she transferred money to me but i didn't receive it. (there was another time but i can't remember when) i thought it was my account problem and didn't really want friends to transfer money to me (unless no choice). strangely, whenever my sis did internet-transfer to me, i always get the money. recently, a few friends had to transfer money to me, so i gave them my account number, wishing that i'll really get the money and not gone somewhere else. and i got it. this made me start to suspect if she really transferred to me?? what do you guys think??

on the other hand, i talked about sms-ing her regarding the psp money right?? i smsed her 3times and there was no reply. regi suggested that i used my other number to sms her. i did, but still, no reply. i started with "hey, how are you?". yet, she didn't message back. she's beginning to get on my nerves lah. i said before if she doesn't reply anything by end of this month, it'll be the end of the friendship. i think i can do so now. a few more days doesn't matter to her anyway. so yah, bye ch** we***ng, you b***h. i hope that many people will borrow money from you next time and won't return you.

p/s : am i evil to do this??

yisheng's bday party pics....

2008-12-20T23:57:00.000-08:00

here are the pictures taken at yisheng's bday party. he set a costume theme...i dressed up as a chambermaid!! haha there were many other characters, greek goddess, flintstone, harry potter, gladiator, scooby-doo, samurai etc!! he also did a performance with 3 friends....so cool~~

p/s: don't laugh too hard at the 2nd last pic!! i know i look weird with that wig!! lol

yisheng's 21st bday party.....

2008-12-20T01:35:00.000-08:00

just came back from yisheng's 21st bday party!!! fun night, accompanied with nice food (it's practically e most high-class buffet that i've ever eaten at a party), wonderful friends, and a great theme that my friend set. pictures up later, after i get them from regi!!

this marks e end of the 16 21st-birthdays that i celebrated this year!! *and it's definitely a very nice ending.* i know it's kind of crazy that i actually kept record...just for the fun of it though haha. of course, lots of money have been spent on presents too *haix*!! lol anyway next up, michelle rachel's 21st on jan 10th!! sexists, are you all going?? hope to see you all then!! =)

p/s: i've finally given my friends e christmas presents that i made for them. it's my first attempt at that, but still, hope you guys like it.

i've been fooled!!!!

2008-12-08T22:11:00.000-08:00

i know this's not the first time i'm talking about her, this "so-called-friend", the one who happily asked me to pay for her psp. on saturday, 1 of my jc classmate celebrated his 21st birthday so i thought of asking 1 girl who's going to help me collect money from other classmates (i couldn't make it as i had a dinner to celebrate my dad's birthday and my parents' anniversary; and apparently that girl wasn't invited). when i asked my friend for this favour over msn on friday night, she said "we gave her a birthday present when we went to her party!! i thought you 2 settled this among yourselves already"!! ok fine, i accept and i said i'll ask the girl for the money since she got another present from my friends. *i'm not wrong right?? she was given another present so she ought to return me the money??*

i sms-ed her on saturday afternoon and just now, asking her to return me the money, if can't pay full, split half also can. yet she didn't reply me at all!! i don't know is it that she's not in sg, or is she avoiding me. i'm just going to keep messaging her till end-dec (maybe). if by then she still doesn't reply me anything, i can say, that marks the end of the friendship. i seriously wish that things dont get to that stage, but if she's going to do that to me, i'll do the same back to her. anyway such a "friend" is not worth for me to mix with, and i won't give a damn whether i lose this friend or not. money-wise, i'll just take it that i gave the money to charity *in a super unwilling manner*!! i can only say "jasmine law, you've been fooled"!!!

on a side-note, this doesn't apply to everybody. she's the first person that i'm going to blacklist, and i hope will be the last. from the start, in my jc days, she didn't treat me very well either!! btw friends, if you really need to any favour from me, and it's within my abilities, i'll surely help. i know clearly which friendships to treasure and which i should not bother. this won't happen to other friends because i trust u all, but for her, there's not a word of trust to talk about.

*this sound so unlike me ya?? this's probably the worst thing i've ever done in my life, and this's also what happens if you step on my tail.

so tired....

2008-12-01T22:46:00.000-08:00

recently, i told my sis about some friends going overseas, 1 going europe with school, 1 went amsterdam to visit her bf and another going toronto to visit another friend. and her reply was "your friends all very rich hor?? so what if parents are sponsering?? next time start work and earn alot of money also can go travelling as much as you want what!!" i don't deny what she said is wrong, but don't everybody need a break occasionally?? i seriously feel that my family don't understand me at all. they don't know that i don't like to eat dim sum, that i don't eat certain kinds of mushroom and what nots. they don't know that sometimes, i also wish for a break outside singapore. it's not because i see my friends going holiday that's why i want to go (well partly), but more importantly is i'm quite tired of the life that i'm leading now and i just simply WANT A BREAK!!!!

2 years ago, before my sis went taiwan for business trip, she said i could join her over there since i was having hols then. but somehow, that business was cancelled and so she owes me a tw trip now!! whenever i ask, she'll say "wait till you graduate lor". well, if she really has the heart to pay for the trip, she won't always be saying that. she could just let me go when i had my 3-4 months of hols these 2 years!! i really shouldn't trust anybody's words again, or rather selectively.

why am i always the one???

robinson's 19th bday surprise....

2008-11-22T23:31:00.000-08:00

celebrated my kuku daddy's 19th birthday just now....with christine, huijun, yvonne and zaw!! we gave rob a surprise!! haha we waited under his blk with a pizza as the cake, choco syrup and condensed milk!!

we went up to rob's place as he n zaw had to shower n wash up, then we took train to town. we met claire on e train. initial plan was to go for bak kut teh at clarke quay, but last minute changed to manhattan fish market at PS!!

after dinner....we moved around PS and walked down to orchard as well. when we were at orchard point, rob, jun n von went to the information counter and called out for christine!!! lol so super hilarious!!! thank goodness they didnt add in the clothes that stine wore....if not i think it would have been more paiseh than anything else!!! hahaha

along the way, we saw many nice christmas trees!! of which, i think these 2 are the coolest (at least among those that i've seen so far)!! haha the top one *made of coca cola glass bottles* is found outside heeren while the other one *made of bears* is in taka.

that's more or less what we did today!! well, i know some people may find it real childish for us to be playing with food, yet i'm still mixing with my sexists and playing along despite being 21!! it's a different kind of fun when i hang out with different groups of people. you can say me but please don't say my friends. even if they are childish, but at least they still gave me lovely presents on my birthday, which made me very touched although we've only known each other for just a year. so, please look at yourself before comparing with other people.

peiying's 21st bday dinner and orchard xmas lightings!!

2008-11-21T23:40:00.000-08:00

went chin huat seafood steamboat restaurant to celebrate peiying's 21st and michelle's 22nd (her actual day is this sunday), with chiekling and yunxian!!! when we reached at around 5.45pm, there was a short queue but we didnt wait very long. after we got a table and settled down with our food and stuff....a long queue started to form and it almost reached the bus-stop!! we kept commenting "luckily we went early"!! haha i thought we all will scream when py threw the live prawns into e pot, but we didnt!! we just stood around the table!! haha wonder why some girls screamed so loudly when they did that!! other than eating, we took many pics and sang birthday song for py with her holding some marshmallows as 'flowers'.

after dinner, mich went home as she wanted to study for her upcoming exams. we went to novena square, saw some christmas trees on sale and thought of going town to see the lightings!! so we did.

met another diploma friend outside lido and she was asking why we haven't had our tutorial group gathering for so long!! so she, together with ling and yx, kept asking me to organise one!! haha well, guess we'll have one in january next year then!!

great night, great company, great food, great atmosphere, great celebration. thanks girls, see ya all soon!! =)

cant wait for this wkend!!!

2008-11-18T23:12:00.001-08:00

drinking session with jianqi n alvin yesterday. i think rob n jun may scold me if they see this, but we didnt drink alot, just finished e chivas regal which didn't have much left. they said they're quite envious of a friendship that i have. well, i guess it's about how we maintain it and what we do to keep it going, so don't need to be envious ya?? haha

friday, celebrating michelle's 22nd n peiying's 21st birthdays. we'll be going to chin huat seafood steamboat restaurant. haha i brought a few friends there in sept, and they loved it. we even said that we must go back again. so for mich n py's birthdays, we're going back there again. especially since it was advertised on the buffet show on tv, it made them all the more want to try it. haha grace, thanks for this recommendation!! =)

saturday, birthday celebration for rob and bak kut teh meal at clarke quay with sexists. and i can't wait for that day to come. hahaha

it's definitely a weekend worth looking forward to!! *happy*

xmas is around e corner....

2008-11-18T22:26:00.000-08:00

went vivo today after school...saw this big christmas tree at the skypark (they have one every year) and a cute sleigh!! of course, xmas decors are up all over Singapore. and i realised, christmas is just a month away!!! not long after that, we'll be saying goodbye to 2008!! then a thought crossed my mind, what have i achieved this year?? or rather, what have i been doing since the start of the year??

since i went skypark, i confirm won't miss going to sentosa station!! haha see those ATMs?? yupx, they increased the number of it, but i seriously think the colours are rather ugly!!! why can't they just stick to that nice bright orange?? the brochure stand has been removed, which saves the staff the trouble of refilling the brochures (though i used to like doing that job last time)!! lol

i kinda miss the times when i worked with sexists last year. running around the platform, complaining about some idiotic guests, laughing at some guests who don't know how to push the bar (i still remember a few incidents), looking at cute guys and little children, chatting when there was no crowd, pushing each other to wave train (not many like to do this but rob seemed to like it, did he??), slacking in the back office etc etc!! though the management wasn't very good, but the people i worked with were real fun, and i don't deny that i like the job. haha

how shld i feel??

2008-11-12T23:28:00.000-08:00

if someone told you that he/she has an extra birthday present for you yet you haven't received it, do you pretend to forget that the person said that statement before, or will you ask him/her for it??

if one has no confidence of fulfiling whatever he/she said to somebody, then please don't say those words at the start. raise the hopes of someone first, then make the person disappointed after that isn't fun at all.

i seriously wonder how sincere were you when you said that statement.

i can't take it anymore!!!

"Once in a lifetime, fly to the star.
There's no denying, just believe in who you are"

~Shinhwa [Once In A Lifetime]

i want to try skydiving.
i want to try bungee jump. (not the one at clarke quay though i don't mind trying that too)
i want to try all the roller-coasters in the world.
i want to try all the exciting activities that can help to empty my mind for that moment.

or simply, i want to travel.

just once in my lifetime, let me fulfil my dreams.

*i want to take a break from everything in singapore, and go on a holiday. =(

i hate people who show favouritism!!

2008-11-07T21:03:00.000-08:00

whoever say that 'parents dote on the youngest in e family the most', i beg to differ. i don't mean all families, but at least this's what happens in my family.

take for example, today. all because of my 2nd sis, everybody got to wait for her for dinner. i was super hungry when i reached home at nearly 7pm just now, and i thought i could have dinner soon (our standard dinner time is 7+pm)!! yet, the rice was not even cooked then!! my dad and my maid started cooking at nearly 8pm, thus we had dinner at 8.45pm!! by then, i wasn't hungry anymore, just felt numb!! my sis wasn't back for dinner at that time, she only reached home like 5mins after we started dinner!! so what's the whole damn point?? we already waited for her till that time, might as well wait another 5mins right?? if the conclusion is we're not waiting, then why did we have such a late dinner??

yes i know my sis's smart, got good grades, entered local uni, always working late, goes on business trips etc etc...maybe that's why my dad favours her more than anybody else. so even if she says she'll only be home at 8+pm, we also got to wait for her to be back first, even though my mum n i were complaining about our hunger!! sometimes i really don't know how my dad thinks. isn't he showing too much favouritism??

I DON'T SAY DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T CARE.

weiting's birthday

2008-11-02T21:40:00.000-08:00

not sure if you will remember an incident where 1 of my friend (jc classmate) asked me to pay for her birthday present on behalf of the class a few months back?? yes, the one where she asked me to transfer money to her *and it's not a small sum* so that she could get her psp during the IT fair or something, and told me to get money back from e class. well her birthday's today, i was informed of her birthday party last-minute (this morning); apparently she asked a classmate to sms us about it but i didn't receive any message!! anyway i didn't go to her party, and there a few reasons why. cos she didn't come to my party, cos i don't know where is it (she said it's beside old pasir ris park and i doubt it's costa sands or aloha loyang), cos only 3 or 4 other friends are going etc. no matter what, i just didn't turn up.

my fellow classmates were supposed to return me money for her present, but for some reason/s, they aren't very willing to do so!! i don't know if i'll get the money back eventually, and i also kind of give up asking them for it. people who know me well should know that i'm not one who'll ask my friends to return me money, do i?? haha so whether they return or not, i'm quite tired to bother already. of course i'll hope that they return me one day but if they don't, then just take it as a bday present from me *honestly speaking, i'm not very willing to do so cos she's not a very close friend but no choice*!!

last but not least, happy 21st birthday!! =)

shldn't trust people again!!

2008-10-28T23:01:00.000-07:00

i'm beginning to think that i shouldn't trust every word that people tell me, be it from siblings or friends. the things they promised to do, the places we promised to go together etc. why am i so silly to take in every single word that people say? or am i supposed to feel happy that they once said those words, even if it was just to make me happy for that moment, although they didn't fulfil their promise in the end?

i'm starting to give up hopes on the many promises that were told to me.

meeting people over e weekend!!!

2008-10-28T15:46:00.000-07:00

today, sushi lunch with clarence. i have sakae cash vouchers but we can't use it for buffet, only for ala carte!! so we went to suki sushi at cine instead!! and i'll like to say something, i'm so in love with sashimi!!! hahaha

yesterday, lunch with daryl, my sec1/2 classmate but we haven't met after we graduated. we ate at the coffeeshop opposite zhonghua sec!! many memories returned to my mind as i looked at the school. we chat about alot of stuff as we ate. though it wasn't for very long, but able to meet up with him was still great!! haha by the way, he is thinking about organising a dinner back at zhss for our batch and i suggested next year as it'll be e 10th year since we entered the school!! if everything goes well, hope that everybody attend the dinner k?? =)

last sat, met up with huijun for a while. we went city plaza (i took quite long to reach the place, paiseh)!! and i got her a birthday present there!! haha

------

not sure if you're familiar with the korean boyband, Shinhwa, but i'm beginning to like them more!! haha i moved around plaza singapura just now, and i saw 1 of their cds at sembawang music store, as well as 2 members' solo albums!! i'm so tempted to get those, but i ended up walking out of the shop empty-handed!! any kind souls willing to get it for me?? lol i guess i'll get all those soon!! in the meantime, if any of you happen to step into a cd shop and see their albums, please let me know!! thanks~

"那童年的希望是一台时光机.

我可以一路开心到底都不换季.

带竹蜻蜓. 穿过那森林

打开了任意门找到你一起旅行."

~周杰伦 <时光机>

if only i have a time machine, how i wish i can turn back time and restart my life. i don't regret knowing all my friends, but i regret some things that i did. if only i hadn't done all those, maybe my life will be happier now. these incidents still remain clearly in my mind, reminding me time and again not to make the same mistakes, and i won't.

*p/s: check out this song's mv!! it's really cute!! and i like e doraemon guitar that jay's holding in e mv!!! haha

Happy mid-autumn festival!!!

2008-09-14T00:52:00.000-07:00

met alvin for lunch yesterday!! we had sushi, n that solved my craving for jap food!! lolx he told me about his updates and also advised me on some matters!! when i see him, a question will pop up in my head. is it so hard to let go of somebody you loved before? for a start, i know it's not easy. but after 3years, going onto 4? haix, hope that he can get over it soon, though i know it's kinda difficult for him!!

my second sis's going taiwan for business trip tomorrow, till next sat!! how good can it be? she just came back from bangkok not long ago, and now she's going taiwan!! *think about shihlin night market ji pa, smelly tofu and whatever food you can get there!! yummy* haha though e countries are not far away, but at least can get to travel!! what more my elder sis? spent a week in hanoi till thurs night, and she's off to bintan for this weekend!! so one conclusion, either i get a job which allows me to travel around or i'll earn alot of money to go travelling on my own!! hahaha

ooh yes, it's Mid-Autumn Festival today!!! enjoy the mooncakes and moonlight with your loved ones!! Happy mid-autumn festival to my friends!!! =)

p/s: should i work at sentosa for hari raya and deepavali??
