cloud moves but the sky doesnt

work is officially ending in one hour and 18 minutes and with chorale ended already i guess ill be having alot of freetime when next week comes. well i feel like i havent properly rested (but okay thats a lie ive idled at home watching tv the whole day many a times before i started work) but it just feels a tad fast that my four month summer holiday is coming to an end and that in three weeks' time ill be whisked away to london, once again, and this time for a very long time.

ive watched quite a bit of movies (and also bought quite a few pairs of shoes, but thats another story altogether) in the last week. 881, bourne, hairspray.

everyone shd go watch 881. i watched it when it first came out and its fabulous how its drawing such a great response so proud of you royston tan! go singapore!

now ive got quite a bit to say about jason bourne. its great to be him because:
1. he has an inbuilt gps system in him. everywhere he goes, he is able to immediately know where to go and how to go and where to turn and all that. even through those little small street alleys which are probably not on the proper gps!
2. he seems to be fluent in alot of languages and unlike me he probably didnt have to spend 170pounds to have french conversational lessons and come out still not really knowing french (although at least i passed my tests)
3. he has endless amount of money, being able to jetset around the world at any time of the day and at his whim
and bourne the movie teaches road safety too. when crashing into a car, always wear a seat belt. you'll come out with minimal scratches while the other guy is sure to die.

hairspray was simply delightful because it has all my favourite actors/actresses in it and i swear the whole cinema, well okay maybe just the girls but thats not the point, swoon everytime zac efron does his little wink :D ahh. maybe its time i changed my man.. but then again a girl needs many different types of man so she can choose better right. anw throughout the whole movie eug and i were so afraid that john travolta and christopher walken would kiss. but of course john travolta only went as far as shaking his booty and he was really hilarious to watch. i loved the dresses in the show. wld love to catch the actual musical someday.
and as queen latifah sings:'cos im BIG blonde and beauuttifull!'

next up: poltergay, marmalade pantry( or toast i just need to have that iced lemon tea and nutella cupcake one more time), high sch musical2 (heh) , ulu islands(nus and ntu), suppers suppers, and lotsa family time. ;)
and meanwhile try to be really truly happy until its time to go back london :)

in song!

and so its over.

after many weekends spent in beloved siglap south cc, the concert's over. im just glad for my friends who came (thanks a bunch!) and i really enjoyed singing the songs. after one year in dusty london i can still sing ;) and i knew all my words so double yay!
although everyone said they couldnt find/recognise me in second row.

so thanks chorale for letting me sing with you guys. i love our sound and the way we dont oversing. its such an oldie thing to do that. i love you laolaos! i really think chorale is one reason why id want to come back. :)
and i think we followed our boss quite well on concert day so triple yay.


thanks to eve for taking pretty shots of us putting on makeup :) but yeah youngling sign is quite funny you should see all the laolaos roll their eyes. well the other pics are pretty blurry sorry i think my camera is pretty lousy.

feeling pretty heartbroken that its all over now. glam bling and fun that comes with chorale :) cos it also means that im going back to london soon.
boundd as oneee in ce le braa tion.

free breakfast

this morning as i was queueing up to get my free breakfast this old uncle cut my queue. right in front of me! and the queue was really long okayy. he simply got out of the lift and jumped queue.
for one i couldnt make out whether he did it purposely or was he simply confused by the snaking long curvy lines of people and didnt know where to queue from. besides he looked really happy and was grinning in that oldman's way.
after he collected his untasty plain beehoon(it was just white beehoon with two strands of carrots in it!!!) he even went up to his friend and said 'BYE BYE!'

wah uncle! next time cannot cut queue okay!

3moredaystoINSONG

feeling rather old fashioned today ;) am wearing my new purchase frm ebay, this skirt which im not really sure if its supposed to be that high waisted but hey im wearing it that way(1. cos its small 2. cos it looks gd that way okay) and yay i feel so proud of all my cheap purchases.

had jap food again for lunch and am having it for dinner later on with my parents. my dad was going on about how soon ill be going back and how little time we have together and i just nodded my head in silence. its very true. my mum complains that the only words i say to her are 'good morning' and 'good night'. that is a little sad. but hey whatever it is i still love them.

its funny but i really want chorale concert to be here sooner than it already is. it felt nice just singing through the difficult scores yesterday; i felt like we were some cult gathering together for i dont know some common purpose or smthg. well at least its a cult that leaves you with a gd feeling, although i still feel silly with my hair.
oh then cheryl got me into a panic attack during lunch when she asked if i can fit into my chorale gown. OMG i havent tried it on yet!!

but nevermind. going threading at little india with eug on sat;) yeah before prac abit crazy and rushed but hey beautiful eyebrows winkwink

hair

oh how can i almost forget i cut my own hair (yet again) this morning and i think i cut a hole in my fringe. yippee. lets all play spot the mistake in jy's hair.

yeah right dont you dare!

blow my midweek blues away

this morning as i stepped out of the mrt station i heard this guy singing mandopop in the oh-so-cool way complete with the angmohfied chinese and sleepysmoky eyes and bobbing head. my god i wanted to laugh my head off. he was in earphones, of course.
then celine dion came on my ipod and i couldnt resist humming along.

therefore, deep down inside, we're all the same people. :)

cold cold morning, and im craving for iced milo! too bad the pantry doesnt have milo.

work task for today: memorise songs!

ive also been thinking about what i want to do next year. or okay, next academic year (its really kinda weird how i think september is a new year now) and im thinking either singing or join some club advocating women rights. maybe both. we go girls! i think singing i definitely will do maybe even carolling ;D will be fun to do it in covent garden or brunswick. honestly ill see how it goes.(i think thats becoming my favourite phrase nowadays, which isnt anything to be proud of cos it sounds lk lazyman's talk) if i end up getting a job then i prob wont have time for anything. and cash is king. so it overrules everything. (the irony considering the convo i had with a fren last night, but thats another story STOP STEREOTYPING LAW STUDENTS)

i actually cant wait for chorale prac tonight, then sat, then (WOOHOO) sunday night. :)

which reminds me of smthg funny. my flatmate lulu didnt understand me when i said 'vavavoom'. haha;) that suak.

okay enough wasting the government's money already

victoooo ria victooooria

contrary to my blog, im actually having quite a happening life. i think. :) i had quite a fun packed holiday so far, meeting people, people meeting me. going to lotsa places ive always heard of but had never went to until now. and well discovering that singapore is quite a gd place to hang out if you know where to head down to. working in clarke quay helps.

and so with just days to go before the chorale concert im trying to conserve my energy by getting lotsa sleep ie. bedtime at 9pm to build up stamina for the concert. ( i know its not how you build up stamina but hey i do it my way okay!)

i started surfing ebay and i just got this skirt. its exactly the way i thought it wld be, but erm. its small. so well. DIETING PLANS. and well seriously everyone's (i mean every single one of my fren (frm sec sch/jc/choir/random) been saying how ive put on weight so im pretty immuned to it already(not). it doesnt help when emma and jianhao points at me during prac and asks loudly 'IS JY PREGNANT?'

the class girls finally got to meet up and omg i just miss our group's dynamics so much. we can laugh so hard about nothing at all its so sillyfyingly hilarious. i think ill miss them dearly when i get back.

im just waiting for work to stop so i can start going out LOTS and well meeting all you schooling people!

updates

okay this is super old news, but i think its worthy of a mention on my big blog.

(convo i had with gabriel chow last week)
me: hey gab you slimmed down!
gab: hey yeah, i know. thanks. too bad i cant say the same for you.

yup. apparently theres a limit to how effective amore can be;)

ive been watchign quite a bit of movies lately, although i havent caught potter or transformers, the big blockbusters. dont really intend to. well have been busy going out and spending money. and national day is coming! preview was really gorgeous im glad i got to go. i love the funky bagg. shall bring it to london where no one will know its a ndp bag;)

sometimes i think that 24 hours a day is really not enough to do everything you want in a day. i mean if you start working you'll only be free for lunch or at night. thats really alot of time gone! and seriously man who works hard for all 8hours at work(jiaxun you're not included in this discussion) so why dont companies just require people to come in for say, 5hours a day, make them work really hard, and then let them off for the rest of the day? seriously people. (i shall not delete my computer history so that maybe my colleagues will get to read this. :D)

and ive rediscovered this song that i used to like alot. stars by alison krauss;) thanks genia for breaking the law for me haha.
its truly amazing how i still remember the lyrics after all these years. i remember writing the lyrics and putting it in my file and looking at it everyday. i think i did that with 'fly me to the moon' too.
so i spent sometime reading up on her cds and i wanna get all of them. one day;)

ive also been surfing ebay( i mean, on top of blogging during working hours) and i keep coming across nice dresses and tops but im too chicken to buy any of them. besides they're not dirtcheap considering they're from ebay. so. nah. this fashion still rocks my world.

singing tmr! i like singing.
(sometimes i sing out loud when im working then i stop myself.)
its not on purpose i swear!

cos time, catches everyone

the other day i was imagining myself to be in a temple, and i could almost smell the thick smoky incense. i remember praying for peace of mind, and well, strength and wisdom. then i asked the boss up there to give me a sign. i believe in fate, i remember telling shawn, and his exasperation in telling me that fate doesnt exist and that we control our destiny ;)
but i believe in fate so i did it my way.
and i saw the sign i was waiting for. ;)
i saw him walking towards the escalator. and my heart skipped a beat.

but somehow i cant find the courage or sense to fight for it anymore. because even as friends, my parents still cant accept him. so maybe a break is good. breathing space for all of us.

we'll see what happens. ;)

cos time, catches everyone
and the world goes round the sun
but the memory lives on in my heart
going back to the start
forever,
forever,
forever.
(sandi thom)

-edited;)got the lyrics wrong!

i dont wanna miss a thingg

was on my way home today on the mrt, and at kembangan i was looking out of the window and i saw this dad playing rugby with his two kids. and he obviously wasnt tackling his kids but they looked so ridiculously happy playing by themselves in the huge field, and i couldnt help but smile. and then corrinne may's 'journey' came on my ipod. and i thought, i made a choice.

so this blog is back, and because there are still many beautiful things in life that i want to write about, talk about and just rattle on.

and so work has been quite okay so far, and its really because everyone's so friendly. but i havent had the chance to really talk to any of them over lunch yet, and they JUST extended my working hours ;( and now with amore at night my schedule is quite packed. i kinda like my life this way. i think im still born to be a really hard worker. as much as i like disney channel it really doesnt keep me happy for long. although i still wanna watch 'jump in'. :)

okay so ppl please come book me for lunches and dinners because i'd be working until i almost have to go back. and im at happening clarke quay so theres no excuse not to come!
;)

life.?

this morning on my way to my job interview i was thinking about how i should end this blog because 'it just isnt turning out the way i had wanted it to be'. and then i missed my bus but i made it in time for my interview.

on my way back it was pouring heavily and i saw a man at the back of a truck hiding under an umbrella, which was obviously no match for the pouring rain. and i thought. i am lucky.

so i thought of something i said during my sec sch days when we had to give a presentation from national geog.
'count your blessings.'
and so i did.

1. i was safe and dry in the bus while others were in the rain
2. an ambulance zoomed past me with its loud sirens, and i knew i was lucky to be alive and well.
3. i got a job.
4. my mum got me shoes, and gave me a hug before i slept last night.
5. my pimples are pretty much gone, and im pretty sure im magazine cover material.
6. ill soon have a great bod to go with that pretty face cos my mum signed me up for unlimited amore classes.
7. i got to see my dear sister in australia.
8. i got to see cairns, one of the most beautiful places on earth i reckon.
9. i have too many clothes and shoes for my little body.

so what if i cant see him. life isnt that bad after all, right?
or am i kidding myself.

;)

i knew i had my old photos somewhere- i scanned them in for my musical because they had wanted to use pics of two sisters;) wanted to show kiat me in my much younger days but i cldnt find it at first. then i did (after i finished studying what i set out to study okay so hey was during my free time :D) and well i picked a favourite picture.

look at how happy we looked. ;) and i loved those jellies! its my 3rd birthday.. you can even see my chinese name written on the cake. oh how i used to love those cakes with choc rice on the outside and lotsa cream and colour. im tacky, i know. our house looked so sparse compared to the amount of stuff i have now(which im almost embarrassed to say) but i guess this is the part where you say money really cant buy you happiness. ;)

studying is a pain.

right in the ass, yes. ;) but oh wells studying IS GOOD FOR US and so we believe. in its goodness.

there really isnt much i can say bout studying can i. except for the fact that im trying my bestest;) well thanks to meredith derek and bailey who's been keeping me awake throughout what feels like a studying marathon, that keeps me in shape.

and my cooking has erm, well, not imrpoved, but at least now i get to do some stuff with food. i miss the taste of normal rice. ;) im getting more and more homesick these days i think. i think of my childhood more, and the things i used to do back home. i swear everytime i hear noises outside my door while im sleeping, i think its my parents moving around the house. ;) i guess in that kind of state we think of whats most familiar to us..

and long live chocolate caramel digestives!!

barcelona baby ;)

i just came back from a run, grocery shopping on my way back, laundry, and making porridge now. :) on my way back i spent some time in this little bookshop and i bought a book. no idea what it is but the cover is yellow(haha) and its about detective and apparently has very dry wit. sounds like all the stuff i like!

barcelona was beautiful, and fun. it really reminded me of singapore /malaysia. all the palm trees and sunny weather. spanish guys btw, arent very goodlooking (sorry no offence intended) but *whispers*they look trashy! well. not anyone's fault. im gonna go to france and see if the guys there are indeed better looking. ;) but the company was great, although i realised we never had a group picture cos we were all too afraid to hand over our cameras to any strangers- barcelona is very famous for pickpocketers. well in all four days i spent quite a bit of money, mainly because we ate very well (very nice seafood) and partly because it is THe land of ZARA ;) and mango and pull and bear. and of course we got to go to the beach;) we had a picnic there. it was such a feeling of high when we felt sand in between our toes, although the water was too cold to skinny dip in ;)
oh and i ate 7 scoops of gelato and many many dunkin donuts. yay!
and met lse friends along the way. how small is this world??
and really really had fun just being around friends ;)
me and the girls at park guell. its like some disneyland like place with gingerbread like buildings ;) works of gaudi.
me sonya and zaril on casa battlo. its actually a house! but its built to look like you're under the sea. we had more camwhore pics but they're with sonya haha.


the same place, but only at night. beautiful isnt it. its called house of skeltons and the uneveness on the walls are supposed to resemble corals :)
my feet and cheryl's on barcelona beach, woohoo! too bad it was too cold to sunbathe;(

but fun's over and now its back to studying ;) i confess that i havent been in best form (for studying) and spending lotsa time dong everything else. but hey dont worry ill get down to it. ;) lk today. after my fish porridge ahha i hope it turns out well!

muacks to all you sexy people out there;) all the best for exams!

ps. julian: HEY my room isnt that messy!!try living in a small space and tell me if you can do a better job than me. ;)

im 20!

huge surprise when i got this big green box for my birthday. wondered WHO could have sent such a big green box other than the doofus whom ive reminded not to send anymore flowers? ;) all my friend were wondering too so they all came up to my room to check it out. and man was the box huge ;)

and so i opened it and TADAA it was from my family! huge huge smile on my face ;)
(my friends were actually plastering themselves to the wallso they wont be in thepic. ) thanks thanks ;) great to know that my family cares enough to send me a big bouquet of flowers. doesnt feel THAT great to turn a big 2 (esp when friends lk janice wishes you one year older!) but feels great to know that ppl arnd me care bout this useless date enough to still make the effort to wish me happy birthday and all. i got some wishes frm some really old friends and that made me really happy. and of cos since ive been celebrating the whole weekend AND until yest i havent really been doing much work. well birthday IS a valid excuse to get off work, isnt it? ;) thank you may for the wonderful picnic; thanks all for bearing the cold with me that day!; thanks to ppl who've brought me to opera musical dinners ;) thanks for all the silly ecards, emails and nearly raunchy message from rai :); and the lovely icing cake and greys and the funny happybirthday video from you ;); and my mum and dad for sending me my stuff AND a bag( im sorry if i said some not so nice stuff bout the bag! appreciate the thought really :D) and of cos the mysterious asos bag sender thankyou nevertheless!

so yups! im a happy girl :) muacks to all!
now i just need to get back to studying before my trip to barcelona.. ;)

somewhere over the rainbow

;) just had a wonderful long wkend. may's musical, london games, and victorians day. all went well and ended well. everyone's gushing to me bout may now and and how they want to pinch her cheeks/steal her away and put her in a cupboard/bring her home etc etc. and im like 'hey tts the girl im gonna stay with nxt yr!' ;) so im expecting lotsa ppl begging for invitations to our hse warming..

london games was fun, as usual. although not everyone stayed for the finals which i thot was quite a gd match to watch. we really had fun cheering them on from the sides and of cos im a groupie for one and only one of them ;) once again i was woman of the match until i met the damn zai team and they trashed us (as usual). but it was fun ;)

then we saw a double rainbow :) gosh so pretty. oh and houses over at canada waters are really pretty but its zone 2. ive been bringing them up ever since to may but she doesnt seem to like the idea of staying in zone 2. even though theres a little river that runs through the place and all the houses comes with little doors and gardens and cosy looking bricked houses.

then victorians day! haha. okay im still sorry i screwed up the qns but hey we all had fun didnt we. food was gd, company was gd, and i had fun just watching the videos alone. brought back so many memories. i really really lk the robert yeo part (no idea why cos its all bout dota and i obviously dont support the notion of guys being crazy bout dota) but hey it was funny. and obviousloy the mr seet part too when he cldnt find the ez-link card. and i realised its such a small world cos i met some of my sis' frens/classmate even.
vicctoorrriaaa!

;) and all the while i was kinda sick. so i felt a bit woozy and out of touch sometimes and was always desperately trying to get some sleep whenever im back in my room but of course at such times my neighbour strikes again. if you know what i mean.

;) sch is ending soon! once again lse ends earlier than the rest. i really wonder where all my money is going to... ;)

commitments for the first yr are all over. time to hit the books. bah.
;) london is gettin sunny and it kinda reminds me of sg. with the colonial architecture, everywhere i go i feel like i just stepped into a postcard. really pretty. ;) im gonna hit the parks soon!

okay pretty random post but just so to let everyone know im still alive ;) LOVES!

you realise

you're getting too heavy for your little body to take when

1. your feet ache whenever you wear 3inch heels. i alr knew that in dec so thats alright.
2. your knees get bruises after being goalie for floorball cos well, your knees jsut cant take the weight of your body on them! and REALLY bad bruises. i have no idea why.
3. when bing says you're losing your chin!! ive become so conscious of it okay i keep rubbin my chin nowadays. stupid bing. ;) nah okay i still love you MUACKS.

reading week's started! hail holidays. but first, library fines (AGAIN) cos i just hog the books and refuse to return them. but okay treat fines as my loan;)

bouts of hardworkingness

ive been feeling relatively hardworking these days - with the purchase of my new criminal textbook (hail herring!) i decided to start on my tutorial with much anewed vigour only to find that this week's topic does not interest me at all. in fact its a little confusing with all the different sections of assaults. haha but i did manage through the reading although no notes taken. heh.

i now have potpurri all over my room courtesy of a love from a faraway land;) talk about bringing with it the characteristic of the land it came frm- kiasuism. hahaha okay im so evil THANKS okay now my room smells lovely. and may suggested that i put them in little bowls so yeah now my room really looks nice. i hope my pres reaches you on time;)

i think my life is picking up again - with the end of the production comes the start of many new things - floorball, victorian's day, and of cos shopping tmr with shimmie who hasnt replied my sms. :) but im beginning to find stuff to do with friends that i really care about i guess. last weekend was a gd trip down to covent garden spent with cheryl whom i havent talked to in the longest time because everytime we try to do that in french class the teacher calls upon us to ans qn. French btw is not becoming a reality ahha. i still cant speak it very well! i only rem "jai chaud" (pronounced jay sho)which means i am hot. grins. :)

am trying to read the books off my shelf because there is absolutely no use if they're there just for show. although it does make me look intellectual :) starting with time traveler's wife even though i bought agatha christie from spitalfields market trip with rosh last wkend because i think its a better read anw although agatha christie is still the best dont get me wrong. anw i just got reminded of all the times i wld sneak off to the library in the middle of boring lectures and return with agatha christie in my hand. ;) yes rai? i vaguely rem you as being my partner in crime for lectures missed in our quest for good hygiene after a good workout. haha.

ah i miss girlgroup days. ;)

ho ho ho

i thought i'd just post some pics on my blog from my musical;) well it isnt the proper musical pics but you can prob see the wonderful people i've been working with for the past few months (and intensively the two weeks before our showdate). i really miss their company -- the group dynamics is just great -- but i guess thats just the beauty of it all, that we can get along so well and got to know each other simply by having a gd time dancing our butts off and grinning our lips rotten. all thanks to our lovely choreographers;) although the grinning part was mostly guano (go cheerleaders!) and of cos our big bosses- writer musicguy director produccerrr;)

me and shimmie! yeah okay we had a whole series and this is our erm pretty one. ;)

yeah okay strangely i cant upload any other pics (I TRIED) so yeah. hall internet is realllyyy lousy.

anw ive been sick since i got back from oxford where i was visiting my darling rosh;) okay oxford is pretty and u gotta credit them cos they have primark which is lk the cheapest store EVER but since they're gonna open one in central london, heh heh. well i hope i get well soon. it snt as if my mucus is yellow or anythg i just keep feeling cold and weak tts all. really bad.

so yup im gonna try and hit my books (and maybe my pillows after that) take care friends in singapore. LOVE YOU GUYS;)

and happy 5th mr greedy;) sorry i forgot.

couldnt sleep, and wouldnt sleep.

" ;) the world is beautiful, the world is great. smell the air, hear the waves crashing in; feel the ants run up your legs, and pluck white hairs off me. take silly pictures in silly poses, visit old places, eat good old (cheap) food. listen to fantastic inidian guy sing, drink and get drunk. cycle along ecp, and eat till my stomach bursts. i love doing things together with my friends. cos i love them;) i miss doing things together with my family. i love them all the same. but now theres more: the strange silly way i love you. ;) "


i didnt sleep a wink the whole night. gah. but i did sleep in the afternoon. felt a headache coming along and wldnt have woke up if my googletalk didnt dingdong.

so yes here i am, awake at 4am.

i think my corridor smells of sleep. i think my hall smells of sleep. ;)

now. back to sch. :)

IM DONE

with my last essay of the term. yay thankyou ms little brain for being with me through the whole afternoon. ;) and of cos mr lovely nutella whom i spooned off. and finished off. :)

im just sitting arnd waitin for tmr to come. il update when tmr comes haha. and of cos the day after and the day after and the day after and the day. ;) cant believe its so soon. although the thot of four wheels gets me down a little ITS OKAY ;) ill get round to it.

anw here are some pics!

mambo pics ;)

more--> with my musical people.


haha okay more nonclubbing pics up soon. ;)
anw kevin wants to say hi to all you sexy people. muahah. just cos he refuses to go shopping with me (to celebrate my last essay!) anw im going out later with squish yay haha.

excess baggage the musical

its close to midnight now and i just got back not long ago. musical practice is only getting more fun as we get along cos things are starting to fall into place. we spent the night 'dancing'. ohwell. sorta. ;) im kinda glad my brain and my body function well together as a team.

really excited bout the musical;) im giving up oxford trip tmr for my practice tmr. we're gonna sing together with the band. actually, quite a high proportion of vjc people involved in the production(i just found out justin song is our violinist muaha) so yup. and i just got a new role today: dancing with the male lead as a nurse in the hospital while he's egging his friend to chase after this girl;) haha. i know. kinky.

go check this out;)
ps. i didnt think of the pose myself. !! im supposed to look 'forlorn' haha. but i think i look quite dao and ice queeny. hm. ;)

clubber convert?

;)

to date ive had only three clubbing experience: one in sg, and two here. the first was ookayy, and i left feeling that clubbing was a complete waste of time and i had better things to do. unless of cos im there with my lovely girls and out to have a fun time(and just a fun time only) then yeah its prob a nice way to chill(provided its free entry. then i dont have to spent a single cent cos i dont drink;D)

but my second experience made me rethink my position. yeah okay so i went cos it was a free ticket. even though the party was mild and well, yeah, boring and definitely super lots of weird people lurking around (hello my friends call me clark kent (WHATT)) but i had fun. even though i knew only a handful of people there i danced and let loose and enjoyed myself. and so i thought maybe i will consider going clubbing more often just to have fun and destress. since londoners dont seem to partake in any other social activities. and when its dark there arent many choices to choose from.

so i went to my third party thinking happily that yay im gonna have lotsa fun cos ill be knowing super loads of people there(it was a lse party) and even may's going ;) nad my whole hall was practically down there. and its mambo so stupid moves yay retro yay double triple yays. no idea why; maybe i saw lotsa stuff that made me rethink about the people i thought i knew; or maybe i didnt see enough cute guys(but we saw ONE); or maybe it was because everyone was chatting mayling up :D. nah. the last one was beside the point. but anw. :) may and i left earlier than the rest and im ever so thankful to have her with me in london:) i think we did more silly moves in r&b room than in mambo. we can so do indian dance(bhangra recruit??) and im ever more convinced that clubbing will probably just be a small feature of my life, and that i honestly have better things to do with my time (not all the time) like shopping. seriously. so prob as a last resort or when we absolutely feel like it;)

and so eug will bring me for my fourth clubbing experience, yes? ;) st james! haha.

wow

so i havent updated for a month. okay more than that, since in three wks time i'll be making my way home (!!!) :D well not that ive been doing all my readings religiously, hence the lack of time to blog, but.. well. id rather email and talk to ppl:) although some people *ahem the pink one* simply refuses to pick up my calls.

i stepped on a thumbtack yeterday! it went straight into my heel. nope i didnt scream, i simply yanked the thing out. quite cool. may freaked out and came down with antiseptic wipes and all. but oh well i talked to the nurse today and she gave me an appointment (so nhs is not without compassion) even though they were full and the previous nurse had wanted me to go down tmr. so everythg's well. i wont be getting my lockjaw anytime soon:D but now the arm is aching, and in the nurse' words, it really feels like 'someone punched me in the arm'. ouch.

work on the other hand has just been piling up; or maybe now that im getting the hang of things im more willing/eager/enthusiastic to really read my books and know my stuff. we'll see how that goes;) first i have to tackle my esays.

london is turning yellow;) muaha. autumn is really here, yay. nottingham was really beautiful, and if you just take a moment and willingly allow yourself to freeze to death in the open, the trees are really quite gorgeous;) esp when the yellow leaves fell onto the green grass. it was like stepping into a picture perfect moment. ive deicded to walk around my area tmr for a short while and take some pictures;) was walking to sch today and i realised i had better take some pictures before all the leaves fall off.

(actually im in my library waitin for class to start and im supposed to do my readings for my next class. but aiyah. ;D )

i watched bentan's video and i thot it was fantastic;D ill ask him if i can post on my blog. haha. erm, but it was strange seeing ppl you know act. im sorry adrian lucas and ben when i saw you guys i just burst out laughing. esp when lucas did tt 'i dont give a damn' face HA HA HA. :D but gd video ben. though i dont believe jianhao sounds so gd! and yes lah gabriel nice music. ;)
i liked the last line ;)

and a point for celebration: George Clooney has been named 'Sexist Man Alive'.. AGAIN!. see i have gd taste. yummy yummy hahahah. ;)
girls quick go grab!

law of obligations

lectures finally made sense to me. i think contract law is smthg i can identify with, yay. not public, not criminal, no legal system. CONTRACT. woohoo gd start. yeah baby.

anw here are pics of my hall food although i realised that they arent the usual hall food ive been eating for the past three wks(three wks! its been along time) but anw. u can figure out the portion. :)

breakfast! although this was the first time i saw scrambled eggs. normally we have poached eggs.

first time having rice in this hall and it was okay. mushy but edible. normally i have lasagne or pasta instead of the chicken, and prob potato or chips instead of rice. go figure.:)

so yup. i think im really gonna enjoy studying here in london because of all the opportunities i get here. i love trying new stuff and making new friends(both still ongoing ;D) i walked back hall with this guy frm my class today and he said he actually wanted to go travel singapore and hk during summer so he asked how long wld it take him to finish touring singapore. ahha. i erm, pondered for a while and couldnt' really give him a satisfactory ans. ithink i said smthg lk 3days-1wk. honestly if its just the tourist attractions probably can finish in a day or smthg. but i tried to say oh we've got lotsa shoppin and if you really want to go explore the smaller parts you can spend a long time in singapore. :) and of cos i offered to bring him arnd if he comes over.
it wld really be quite fun if he comes over.

and i think studying here makes me realise how lucky i am and i cant say enough. im loved, loved, loved. although it always makes me feel like crying;)

camden market!

its lk the bugis village of london. i think. just that taiwan street wear is popular in bugis, but goth clothes are popular in camden market;) i didnt bring lotsa cash(lucky thg) but i think i got good buys. the teeshirts were really funny but they were all quite expensive considering they were only teeshirts. im beginning to love london for the fashion you get:) its fun to wear nice clothes. or be more experimental with clothes.

and just bcos im bored here me in black stockings
ahah yay:)

classes starts nxt wk so nxt wk you'll see me all serious and sober :)

under the weather-kt tunstall

i really wanted to wear skirt and stockings today to cheer myself up but the sky is really grey today and its raining. so hm ill see how lah.

anw sch is starting soon and i can already imagine all the amazingly interesting stuff im gonna learn. yes alot of readings and alot of work and effort(i dont think u can fluff ur way through exams cos u really need to know what you're writing?) so yeah.

i hate going to the library. but ive been going quite alot.

coming to london has really been a gd experience. i learn alot, and i realise that i am ever so lucky to have family and frens who love and care about me. maybe i do need to know tt ppl still care, beneath my whatever icequeen exterior. and may has been a gd fren indeed;)

alrights im off to eat some good belgium food soon take care everyone i love u guys;)

lunchtime here

and im eating.. digestives! and milo. and prune. i seriously have alot of fruits here in my drawer. fruit flies love me.


les miserables! the theatre is really pretty too. one day lah shutterfly. ;)


im onto episode 7 heh. everynight we do two episodes in this guy's room. prison break rocks. presenting wentworth miller!(note gorgeous eyes)


but this rocks my world;)

;)

london(2)

okay so now that mum's gone im really alone. not really alone cos i have so many frens here ;) okay not alot but enough to last me lah huh. strange thgs but im clicking so well with king's law ppl but thats only because they're all here in international hall ahha.
am drinking some fruit fusion tea now quite tasty. yum yum.
i think lse is cheating my money bcos my first wk of 'sch' is my opening wk to law, and we do stuff lk watch film and have lectures about study techniques part one and two, then introduction to the library and IT in law. im not gettin my money worth! ok ok i shall not complain lest my workload more than doubles when sch actually starts. but for now. :)

i havent really been doing anything since the start of the day, just woke up really early to catch mayling at breakfast so i could talk to her. honestly i dont feel like ive settled down yet, but at the same time my room looks very lived in already. just lotsa fruit flies arnd cos of all the fruits my mum keeps buying. but i think i shall be coping fine. i think i shall go organise my life right now though. and stop sleeping so much:)

okay pictures

alright so side view of my hall ;) i walk past this plc everyday to get out. er, duh, but yeah.

london eye! and my double chin :)

my messy room;) and bed.

and my study table. :D

and of cos im in love with london's architecture


and more pics of les miserables coming up:D not uploaded yet. till then,frens.

london!

okay frens im sorry i havent been updating but i really tried uploading pictures here and somehow its not working. ANW i figured my internet out myself how cool is tt;) im very proud of that thank you very much. anw the weather is still lovely, although its getting colder i think. my 20kg parcel finally arrived and i gotta admit, i think ive got too many clothes;) but its okay then ill save money on shoppin cos theres a big FCUK outside my sch. and basically ive been walking around. beautiful parks around here, very fat pigeons, and very expensive stuff around here. okay lah shampoo is cheaper here, but tissue paper is ridiculously much more expensive than singapore.
;) london eye is quite beautiful, but i think only cos its THE london eye. big ben is much more captivating, cos it looks gold plated;) and in the sun the reflection on its gold against the brown is simply quite stunning. u really get the whole majestic feel. and im in love with the colonial architecture u get here;) u can take pics of all the building! which makes me feel very touristy ahha. and yup i had great plans today but we couldnt get to where we wanted to cos haha my mum and i arent particularly gifted in the area of deciphering maps.;)

yup so when my internet is better i shall try to upload pics. meanwhile everyone take care, i will, and see u guys for xmas;)

happy birthday

happy birthday mum

and so it goes

that i am finally feeling it;) the everythg that comes with it. huge thank you to frens who turned up at simpang to have prata with me(yes just cos i wanted to have prata), in the middle of an afternoon and im quite sorry it poured in the middle of it and we got abit wet and had to move and some got really wet and lost tryin to find their way. but it was nice meeting up and i do love u guys;) its just that keeping up with the facade was quite difficult and truth is i do feel terrible and it was hard keeping it all up. but after girltalk with phua i do feel much better;D so thankss

and so i wanna see you and you and you, and you, before i go off;)

its official

ive done it twice;) this earmarks the beginning of my taitai lifestyle where ill just get the license for the sake of getting one(prob bcos ive sunk in too much money to get out of it), and ill just wait to get chauffeured around everywhere(only bmws pls).

haha kidding but ill just try until i get it lah! i am mrs incredibles;)

anw, not much time left. hurry book me now before its too late:D

to me you're perfect

i felt very warm at the end of my msia trip today;) i think its the big family syndrome cos there're so many ppl and they all care for each other. its wonderful;) anw there are high and lows from this visit. i now know a relative who claims to suffer from depression, which really came as a rude shock since he's always cheerful and quite a joker. everyone was offering him words of wisdom and encouragement and i really got reminded tt im really very lucky;) ive always felt very blessed for all that i have and i know that i probably now have everything that i can ask for, and i count my lucky stars for tt. so ppl yes count your blessings and you'll be a happier soul:D

and of cos ill be a happier woman if this is mine;) saw it on yenling's msn pic and well it really is a very nice bling

:D womanly indulgence

listen to mummy

my mum had wise words for me yesterday while watching the news: dont get into any bgr lest your boyfriend stabs you with a knife like what the chinaman did to his girlfriend.
to which i retorted: okay then dont get a china boyfriend lah!

wise words indeed.

on a foodier note, xuhao showed me a nice indian restaurant today;) and im going out with edrea later for dinner. everyone wants a piece of me i feel so loved:)

the river runs and the river hides

my house smells really nice now. my mum bought five big stalks of lilies;) really pretty and brightens up the whole house. really should do this more often! doesnt cost much to beautify a house.

i havent touched any of my books im such a lousy reader. i think i had a three hour afternoon siesta today sighh im officially a pig at the rate im eating. my mum cooked alot today, for both lunch and dinner. luckily catered food in uk will be such a turnoff;) i still have hope of not becoming fatty teo.

i hope;)

chasing cars

ive cleared out my cupboard, halfpacked my suitcase, and i listen to my mummy. im a gd girl;)

am super tired now and driving was lk shite but its not suppposed to be! but just went to visit bingybong at nus campus, i alr lk it there cos they have cheap macs! well guess who u'll be seeing more at nus;) anw we all have plans to crash bing's dorm one day (havent told bing yet though:D) and i have plans to crash eug's dorm one day so yay.

lse is having a function at a bar, from 7-9pm. tsktsk they're alr introducing us to drinking, those beerbellies-trotting-drunkards.

had a very nice chat on the phone last nite with eug my no.1 fan(sorry rai i stole ur only member of ur fanclub) and well now im listenin to steph sun's 我不难过 and tt just reminds me of the time in vj when i keep listening to that song over and over again and i nv tire of it. now tt my silly itunes lost all my songs i can only play tt song frm a website. i cant wait to get to eug's itunes.

i borrowed four books and bought one book so im gonna do alot of reading (at least i try) for the next few wks.

im thinking that the nxt few weeks will pass by very quickly and before i even want to ill be whisked off on quantas to a whole new place for a whole new beginning. ive never had the 'i dont wanna leave this plc' kind of mindset, in fact im quite rah-rahing to go;) but its true there are so many things i still wanna do (sleepoverssss) and so many places i still wanna go(sentosa! no zoo hahaha) and so many ppl i wanna meet. lets start with going ladies night;)

deep voice

i woke up this morning and i knew it was gonna be a bad day. but i didnt realise how bad until i said gd morning to my mum and *gasp* i sounded lk skunk!! (only without the body. er. yeah.) and omg so disgusting. but i guess i am much better than skunk cos i didnt need fried chicken wings to hit my bass notes. baah baaaaah baaaaaaah.

and now im down with a slight fever, its just horrible. i can play pleghmball with may, woohoo.

i wanna get well soon!

champion air! *breathes air freshener*

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS (We Are The Champions) *we are the champions* hahah.

woohoo!

feels great to win musica sacra, really! coming frm a singaporean choir where obviously our culture isnt as strong or deep as the other european countries. furthermore vocally we arent not as oblong faced as them. it is a great feat. im proud of ourselves;) i started crying really badly when i heard tt our marks were beyond 86, but really, didnt expect to be champions.
and so i sang our national anthem for the second time on the olympics stage:)
contemp got gold, which is gd, yay.

hmm the trip has been fun fun fun. i made alot of friends(its just funny how living together makes a difference) and honestly i felt tt there werent any stress on us to perform well, but just to do our best.

and thanks for making me realise the true meaning of singing noman. ;) this is the first time i cried singing it. the only other time i can rem crying lk i did in xiamen was when mary left for usa cos i simply couldnt imagine facing vjchoir without mary as my bitching buddy;( so pls dont think of me as a crybaby! anw i felt really sad cos i cant imagine chorale without the laolaos, and ive long associated chorale with them and them only. sigh one day ill be called laolao too;( but ppl come and go, and tts wad the song is about. so thanks victoria chorale;)

anw nv stay on a floor with all boys. when they pass by ur room they'll press the doorbell, knock on ur door, and run away. worst of all, they stink up ur room! eeeeww. ahha. and its true k our room smelled sour on the day after they played games in our room.

we must have played saboteur at least fifteen times tt night, and polar bear at least twenty times the whole trip.:)

and ill always rem the bitching session outside mingguo's room. man u can really get a six pack with chorale's help

and im the man, and emma's my woman. haha.

and ice cream is heaty, but not fried chicken wings - skunk the hunk.

and i cant beat the queen bitch (damn!) haha.

;) so many stories. but anyway, bottom line is - WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.

woohoo!

im inimitable, ha. (yup, im lk chanel mascara)

i wanted to go offline alr, but i heard the recording for contemporary and decided to dl stabat's one as well. just to remind myself of how far we've improved in a wk/how we CAN improve in a wk. today's performance was by far, the best run through we've had, but we still have a long way to go baby. its funny how i feel towards chorale, i cant quite put my finger to it. i dont feel attached to it, but all the same i am very affected by it. when we dont do well i feel the frustrations(i know we all want to do well but somewhere its just not happening), but because its chorale i just shut up and listen to what others have got to say(i think age agrees very well with me; as i grow older, my bossiness gets curbed more and more!)and then at dinner i was all thoughtful and quiet. so much so i wasnt hungry at all.
so, just one wk more to flying off and we're all gearing up to go. yay go chorale. me and maylingleemayling will buy the beautifulest small cute sg flags so we can all wave them arnd in xiamen and tell everyone happy national day;D
7th plc huh jimmy;) long oblong faced vowels everyone!

headbutt??

i stayed up the whole night(watched love actually to pass off time) just to see zidane being sent off cos he head butted this stupid italian lk a bull? gosh how silly was tt. and i really thought france wld win cos of the early goal. and they had lotsa chances in the second half and the extra time. argh. Argh. ARGH.

boo. ;(

backstepkick, kick.

haha im super slow but hey everyone shd go sign up for this care to dance thg k? its a volunteer thg which is half lindy hop workshop and the other half u get to teach someone else;) i got to teach cute pri sch kids. my kid was this monkeyish girl called whitney( i had to ask her if she cld sing me a whitney housten song..and she rolled her eyes at me!!) but she was really adorable and i think she had a lot of fun with me;D she kept tryin to show me a dead lizard, and ran off to explore snails and grasshoppers in her sch garden while i think i stood lk one metre away.
anw my grp was fantastically nice. we had three chiobus(AHEM) one tsd girl one rj girl three crazy ri boys one nus mama one nba yaoming one friendly girl and one deep thinker.
and i had my first speed dating experience haha. cos we kept changing partners while learnin the dance and one of our frens commented tt it was alike speed dating. then without missing a beat he turned to his partner and said 'i like to walk, what about you?'aha. ri boysss.

so i came back home tt day with a happy heart and aching legs. i shd be going for more dancing this fri with dearest rai, yay

stop dithering around, go right onto it!

got a random phone call from rai today;D she was looking back at our paper conversations during lectures and she came across funny stuff so she decided to share with me. i could remember some, and it felt really good to laugh over them again;D now we're all so separated sometimes and its hard to talk and share like before. but we all grow up and we all move on so its all part of growing up. and life. ;D but we're meeting up tues so yay

high tea buffet was not too bad, but definitely left me with no room for billy bombers. i realised that i really miss talking to michelle;D im glad she had time to spare before dinner! its refreshing to not talk about clothes and makeup and the same few boys

im just glad that my sis is back so i can get am chauffeur and a going out buddy:D

pink in the afternoon

had a terrific weekend;D cheesy love songs rock! although i still have much to learn frm dearest sungjiax.
and i realised tt chorale ppl arent tt bad after all;D i mean buying dinner for ur chorale mate is really sweet.

okay so i got tagged by bingabong. hey being free is a gd thg too k;D
ten things that starts with t.
here goes:

1. Teo jia yun
the greatest, beautifulest, bestest woman on earth. :D

2. tit dropper
im sorry but this still cracks me up. yr one bio was so much fun;D poor mrs lim. she did look kinda embarrassed haha. maybe i shd have been more discreet in my laughing.

3. tea
i dont drink coffee. except lk starbucks, but that doesnt really count. besides, coffee never worked for me. i can drink coffee at ten and sleep at eleven.

4. tanning lotion
;D haha i dont think ill ever stop teasing a certain person frm my class who brought tt to our class outing to sentosa. HE thot he was too fair. arent u glad we girls have sharp eyes:D

5. toilet
err in sch i can go to toilet once every two periods. its amazing how small my bladder is. anw ppl go to the washroom more often when they're cold so im really lookin forward to uk:D

6. ten fingers and ten toes.
just so you wouldnt think im an alien(glares at sungjiaxun)

7. tenebrae
;D singing with chorale has been tiring and very tiring but im sure the experience in xiamen will be great. if only we can start singing with nelson!

8. twirl
i grew up on this choc! i swoon everytime i see it. but i think its kinda phased out already. im vintage:D

9. "thank you!"
there was this period of time when i was sayin this to alot of ppl. i still do, cos i think its a wonderful thg to appreciate ppl and be appreciated. it does make a difference;) and of cos a big smile to go with that.

10. thoughts.
to be very honest, i dont tell alot of ppl what i really think about alot of things. i can count on my one hand the number of people i do;D and those are friends i wanna keep for life! muacks smooches to all hahaha.


OKAY there. i cldnt think of better t-words. haha.

im gonna eat some worms (EAT WORMS)

weather was gd to us today;) had a very nice time at the beach. as usual. i can just imagine us ten years down the road, sittin on a mat at ecp talking about nonsensical stuff and simply updating each other on our lives. and then talking bout chickflicky books tt we've read recently;D wonderful.

anw i think i lost my red korean-which-looks-cheena pencil case. i hate losing thgs;( i rem takin it out of my bag and now i cant find it. i hope i didnt leave it at my tuition kids' plc which i dont think i did, but if i did and they didnt tell me they're really evil cos i just went to their hse today.
or maybe my pencil case got bored and wanted to play hide and seek with me. hmmm.

i'm here without you babbbyy

my cold is gettin worst. now i have a husky voice. blah. haha but its okay i made a new fren today! haha 'her' name is kelvin:D haha im so sorry rai. but she did sound lk a guy and she so obviously looks like a girl. :D

went back vj to collect our cert today. its such a stange thg to see vj so quiet and empty. but we walked through the tree houses and concluded that the new ropes didnt give us a sense of security as the old ones did. now the treehouses feel scary. ;D
and i just found out tt the hockey plc is called hocker centre. rollseyes at hockey boys.

being out today was fun;D although i think nic prob felt out of plc while we talked about ytt and yst and t's and p's ;D and revlon lipsticks!

i just hope my cold will go away SOON.

money money money, must be funny, in a rich man's world

imagine the amount of money id save! (imagine the amt of clothes i can buy..)
imagine the amout of load off my parents' back! (imagine the car they'd buy for me;D)
imagine the money saved for my future! (imagine the hse i can buy..)
imagine the retirement plans my parents can have;D (imagine how happy they can be..)

sigh. i cant stop thinking about it.

on a lighter note i met up with eug for late night macs;D ice cream always cheers me up! i really didnt realise we sat there for two hours just talking.. until my dad called and as usual offered to pick me up ahha. i totally persuaded her into not watchin xmen3. im such a gd critic:D

AND i cant believe the laolaos 'appointed' bing and i to do choreo for stabat. greaaattt. i have great plans to make the sops stand eerily still and the guys shall do the trance;D

java chip

had an early day today so when i got to siglap(i was early) i drank starbucks. BIG mistake. now im still awake. my eyes. cant close. have got a whole day to party tmr. ah.

anw chorale today was.. tiring. haix. but after a while when tiredness gets to everyone's head we start doing crazy stuff. like acting groupies for terrence's silly act cute actions (yucks:D) and aiyah just talkin nonsense like sayin how the song is killing us.

anw im going down little india AGAIN. i really shd go marry an indian.

vj boleh!

i just love soakin up in the atmosphere;D and let me say this again: vj is the only soccer i watch.(contrary to popular belief, no, i do not have any eyecandies in the soccer team(i noe ur out there thinking about this!)) ahha. poor rai had sorethroat so she couldnt shout, but im quite sure janice and i did a gd job for her;) i really miss being a student. we thot wearin vj tees wld make us 'blend in' but we realised no one was wearin pe attire.
i reserved seats for rosh thinking that rach was gonna turn up but in the end the indian society raided our area and turned it into a bhangra party:D indian boys will be indian boys. they were really funny to look at and listen to(yes we eavesdropped on their jokes) and they had bhangra moves for every cheer. its amazing. and really fun! i had to stop myself frm shakin my hands together with them..
janice had to 'talk' to these five guys who were sitting infront of us cos they were simply not cheering. im not too sure if they were actually interested in the match, but hey they were sitting right in front. but in the end they did seem to enjoy themselves(maybe cos vj did win in the end).
anw. we won! HA.

the weather nowadays is not gd at all. everyone shd save on gas and fry eggs in the open. luckily for me i found the perfect way to cool down;) iced milo. and if u use two packets of those 3in1 thgs, it taste so much better;D yummy!

im not too sure if i sound selfish sayin this, but i really dont agree with girls who watch their weight too much. i DO grow fat too, but i think its much more unhealthy to watch your weight and what you eat and basically, deprive urself of good food! or sufficient food, for some ppl. pls dont do this to urself! just eat proper meals and jump arnd screamin for vjsoccer and we'll all be fine;)

and sometimes guys arent everythg. im not too sure how that works out to be, but if you keep thinkin about this boy and that boy and what's he gonna do then baby, you've got a problem. but it can be cured;D girls night out!

cos at the end of the day you'd realise that for all the times you were frettin over what to wear and what to buy and where to eat at, someone on the other side of the world is thinking of the same qns, but in a different way that you are.

its the heat tts makin me think such stuff. blame it on the weather.;D

talk on corners

(my titles have no relevance to whatever content here)

end of course dinner was nice;) thanks shawn. sharks' fin was nice, yes. and haha yes ur not gonna be chief of airforce ;)

anw before i chronicle my tales of tuitioning my kids pls rem that ive nv been a very patient person. but i must say i surprised myself. ;) this girl kinda started throwing a tantrum when i tried to go through fractions which was her weaker area, and i refrained frm slappin her(:D) instead i tried to talk sense to her and in the end she did kinda end up half listenin to me instead of sulking. which is gd!
and my little boy ran out of the room before the lesson ended so i made him come back and finish a paper before he can go off. but he managed to slip out again claimin tt he really needed to go toilet. and he brought a clock in and put it right in front of me.
KIDS.

get away, for awhile

i know everyone's read 'mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird' but i only just read it. for some strange reasons i never got past the first chapter when i read it the last times. anw. there are some parts which you just feel like crying, sigh. from reading a book! wad a sissy;) but yes. GO READ IT. ;D

there is absolutely nothing at metro warehouse sale.

tried out my webcam today haha. its quite fun cos i can put frames ;) so you see my face in midst of dots and stuff, ahah.

RACHEL IS BACK yayy will get to see her soon. beams;)

all about me

hi, my name is superherogirl and my hobbies are eating and sleeping. ;)

finally replied to lse, whee. may went off to london today and i got quite excited just callin her and askin her bout the accommodation. i really hope we get to stay together;) it wld be nice to have a familiar face around.

i figured that all the gd thgs in my life came about due to an earlier, well, unsmoothness. so i decided to list a few possible fantastic scenarios that can arise out of this:)
1. maybe ill really become a really gd lawyer. ha ha ha.
2. ill become more frugal;) which is a gd thg! no more 9.90 shoes.
3. i wont be bonded. Which means-- helloo brit guys. *smirks*

now my world's a brighter place:D

bring it on

alright so friday is officially over and im, honestly, in quite a lousy mood. i am chirpy bout it, but of cos when you dont feel gd, you just dont and it takes some time to get over it.
whee.
i can be so stubborn at times.
that horrible feeling when you know that you just didnt get it when you walked out of the room. sigh.

anw. i cant believe paris got out of american idol! i JUST found out, how lousy can i get.

and i cant believe chorale's at bukit batok.

(stop grumbling!)

cant help it.

giddys

been having dizzy spells the whole of today, so i slept alot ;) its not a ploy to get more slp!

went for workers' party's rally last nite. my mum actually succeeded in draggin me out of the hse and we walked round the reservoir to get to the hawker for dinner. anw the field at the rally was really muddy and my feet was soaked. my poor mum got her feet wet too.
frm my astute observation, the workers' party rally epitomised singaporean behaviour.
1. by complaining. i dont think i heard solutions for most of the party's complaints.
2. singaporeans have this inate passionate response to free stuff. most of the rally went like this: '...lower rates!'(APPLAUSE).... cheaper cost of living(APPLAUSE).. free stuff!(APPLAUSE).... spend less money!(APPLAUSE)'
and therefore we vote for them. yeah right as if theres always money to be given out. i am such a rightist.
3. we're a curious bunch of ppl. the turnout was quite impressive;)

cant wait for this wk to be over!

booger

i exchanged my whitney housten cd for mariah carey cos my laptop's being selective and refused to read whitney's cd. i think my laptop's a bloody male. anw mariah really shd wear more cloth. the pic inside the cd is pretty.. bare. now i fully understand the meaning of 'leavin little to imagination'. she really is curvy.. hm.

alright guys stop the nose bleed.

i had fun at the law essay today. there should be a rule that allows you to laugh out loud or make as much noise as you want during exams. i mean, the story was bout this rich guy who gets caught sunbathin nude at his home.

rosh finally called me today;D haha okay so ive been slackin arnd so much tt i havent gotten down to askin her bout amore, but hey she said yes! ha we're gonna be such gd kickboxers by the end of ten lessons PERVERTS BEWARE. hiyaaaaah!
anw check out my darling's new blog;D and guess who were her first links (Ahem;D)

cant wait for rachel to come back! hurry up so i have one more shoppin buddy beams.

went shoppin today(again, sigh) and i tried out the lawyer outfit: black blazer and skirt, white shirt inside. i felt so accomplished(even though i didnt get the outfit in the end). tts my future;) now i can envision it better haha. nus law admission interview and essay just makes it seem more real.. even though haha i wldnt be surprised if i dont get into nus. bah bad thgs aside,

gracia's a shishamo;D hellooo millions(smirks) stop talkin to my belly!

days of my life

ahha i totally boogiefied my law interview today;) i actually volunteered to talk about the elections, which was really a very bad move cos after tt he started askin me bout how it works, wads the diff btwn this and that and wads this that. i got thrown off. honestly. im so ashamed of my shallow knowledge of the singapore political system(i rem flunkin the quiz chew gave us once.. only rai and eug were answerin the qns the three of us were lk ... qn marks?hahah) anw okay. at least now i know i shd never get into politics.

anw then i tried to find my way out of the law buidling and walked one whole round and found myself back at where i started. im seriously gettin gd at this...

of all things shiny and sparkling

which really equates to indian stuff, and its magnified by mustafa;) first time there today with may. i saw the HUGE bottle of axe medicated oil which is really quite amazing(whoever uses that much medicated oil must really have a humongous bloated belly full of smelly wind) and this nice cheap organiser and the cute furry notebook and the pretty wooden stand that said 'welcome' and the cheap cosmetics and the wide array of perfume and the whole floor of gold jewellery. and the list goes on;) but its really quite amazing there.

then we tried to find out way to the 'bangle' part of lil india, only that of cos, it was me and may, you really cant expect much frm us;) we did find our way to sim lim square though, so we headed to bugis junction cos someone's hexagon umbrella had to give up on her in the middle of the rain;) but now she has a really pink umbrella which i frowned upon but obviously she doesnt take hints very well. oh wells.

i really wanted to say 'yes' to jiax bout the lindy hop, but ill definitely have to sacrifice one lesson cos of xiamen.

AND i had another colleague (i went back today to collect money) who asked me if i put on weight. i really shd do smthg.....;(

525 600 minutes, 525 000 moments so dear

i just watched RENT the movie and boy, it was gd;D i really liked it. i went in not knowing what to expect(all i knew was it was about america) and haha i certainly did not expect the gay and lesbian couple. (which in my opinion was way better than brokeback.) angel's funeral just made my heart so sour.. i nv thot i cld feel that way even about gays. ;D the music was great too, the songs kept ringing in my head even after i left the cinema. maybe cos my head's quite empty to begin with nowadays.. but hey thats besides the point.

my parents came out of the cinema and haha they had rather negative comments about the movie. im not sayin im now an advocate for lesbians and gays but.. during the movie it just seemed okay. thats the scary part. when you live ur life, out of the cinema, its a totally different story.

anw dont worry. i still lk boys. if they dont have cooties;)

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love.
Seasons of love.

tonight there will be no morning star

just came back frm west side story the musical. well i was disappointed, but then again the movie was bland, so. ;) the second half was so much better.. or maybe i just dont lk sad endings. why did tony have to die? he's the male lead for goodness sake. and he sings really well! anw i wore my pretty reddish dress tonight and i felt pretty :D

im so glad ace got out. hail the americans!

ps. i havent gone runnin. nor swimming. hee. ;)

where do we go from here?

this isnt where we intended to be.
we had it all
you believed in me
i believed in you.

i miss singing. ;) anw i cant believe i forgot to congratulate my dearest vjchoir. im so proud of u all my little ducklings;D

went for chorale gown measurement today. i used to tell myself that vc prob needs more time.. but i really dont think its happening. its really very different singing in vc. which makes me miss being a student even more;)

and hello friends if ur workin pls take a day off to spend time together hee;) bcos taitais are supposed to go out with frens NOT without! everyone's going back to work. whatever happened to bumming around??

frankly, its disturbing.

1. just watched the sm lee talk with some young singaporeans. i wonder what it wld take to make young singaporeans realise that the comfort that they're having now came at a price. i wondered what it wld take to let them realise how spoilt they have all been(Not the getting fetched part!). even the simplest thgs that many take for granted were the hard work of many others.
so pls, count your blessings.

(i JUST realised that my mouse pad reads SINGAPORE LEGAL SERVICE. www.lsc.gov.sg. COOL! its a sign.)

2. that im a petty person. if i could tell people off free of charge and stare at everyone who makes me mad i wld seriously be a happier person. whee. but i dont. and im still happy, enough.
sometimes you just think more. ;) and i dont think im ever in doubt.

3. that i really really want to sign up for classes at amore. ahhahaha.

4. that im really considering runnning arnd the reservoir three times a wk.(yeahh right ;D)

5. im in love. meet my man, ji jin hee.-->


and i dont even the least bothered that he just got married! ;D love is great. ahahah.

im nuts.

and bolt awake. hahah wow my sense of humour gets better as the night goes by.
its crazy cos i cant seem to get to slp even though i had a long hard day. bah. i was really lucky to meet jane chia. :D i really had all the luck in the world. and (shocking) the ppl in my grp were nice! gosh. i actually had fun.

i think, i have rheumatism. when it rains or gets cold, my muscles really ache. it was aching quite badly when i got to my office, maybe it was because the bus didnt stop at my bus stop even though i DID press the bell, so i had to walk one more bus stop down. Or maybe its just because i havent exercised for a long time so the walk frm clarke quay to my work plc is (phew) just very far.
id say rheumatism. blame it on the weather.

anw went for supper today with bock and eug. ahha. it was quite nice. ;D i lk my frens. as usual, i was giving bock a free flow of rolling eyes and the you-are-evil-stare. and eug was just happy lapping everythg up. i thot i could spend my taitai days with eug but she had to go back to work. wells now i just have to put up with pink frilly mays and jiaxs:D but anws, it was fun going home really late. heehee.

anw i was doing a psychological test today and the qn read 'do u pass off rumours'. i laughed out loud. im sorry but i have to tick 'greatly disagree'. :D it was really quite funny.

TAITAI LIFESTYLE HERE I COME. spafacialmahjongyogamanicurepedicurerestaurantwinebrowncow. ;)

im a bummer, see me bum.

hmm so i went for my first tuition lesson yesterday. well i have to learn to speak in simple english. they are after all still little primary school kids. the little boy kept lookin at my watch cos he wanted to go swimming. haiyo. ;D and i gave them ALOT of hmwk they better do it before i go again tmr. hm. exams coming soon.

went back to acorn today to help and saw my colleague crying. dear.. i cant imagine crying over work(i can, but i dont wan to) but its really nice to know that you fit right in with the people there even though ur just a temp. i think i can finally put into words why i prefer working in acorn over hep. cos at hep (at least for me) i was treated lk im a nobody, just someone who works for her. the closest word being 'slave'. at acorn ur a person, almost equal, really. and to my egoistic self its really hard to stomach the fact that im downgraded to a little more than a slave and so it hit home that after all my years of sending ppl out of rooms to practise on their own, there is a huge possibility that im the one getting sent out when i go out to work. :D

anw just had prata outside eug's hse just now. i think thats the one shes been telling me to go since ive moved here;D well. for one, its really expensive. and the prata isnt that fantastic. i think the simpang one is realllyyy gd. ;) and for those of you who laugh at me eating banana prata, stop! its really nice u kukus:D

splat.

i am never going to finish my driving. june is fully booked!! and i had to resort to booking night classes, again. so much so for not workin so i can book day classes. AH. im such an idiot. boogabah.

SNORTS

well okay. i can only display discomfort.
im feeling sick. ;( luckily i lasted the whole of saturday, but yesterday i had to go malaysia for qingming.

i finally went jogging. ;) with eug. we were in sch so we jogged to east coast, but on the way back i stopped at the bridge hee. then when we reached the other side she made me run round vj cos 'its still very early!'. yes. so now im aching. woohoo. and i dont see any apparent loss in weight. ;(

im giving tuition soon. gd luck to the kids.

whee

okay lets see.

monday i went for alldressedup's fashion show. eug's mum had hsbc invites. i saw alot of nice clothes;) and ugly models with poor posture haha. now i understand why models have to be tall. so tt even ppl sitting at the back can see them ahah. anw i lk their dresses and one of the knee length shorts. :D

today i went for my first firefly interview. i really think mas doesnt want me anymore, so my dear classmates, stop the 'be-a-bachelorette' joke! ;D anw interview today was quite relaxing. i felt lk i was more on a social visit to edb.

(on a btw note, my mum bought all the dachangjing dvds. so everynight im watching it. )

not sure if i told anyone but i had an idea when after i went highpoint halfway hse with mr ng and min and i pitched it to the edb guy today. (anw im quite sure ive seen the guy before. either tt or he's super lk mr chew) and the edb guy actually said its quite a gd idea. okay maybe just a small talk thg but hmm. :)

its raining men!

i always seem to miss my bus on rainy days. i missed my shuttle bus again today. but nevertheless i love it when it rains.
(and i also forgot to bring my hp out)

went cycling with my darling yesterday morn and it was drizzling so it felt quite nice. except that i am totally out of shape cos now my butt hurts. and i felt so lazy tt we didnt cycle at east coast, we only cycled TO east coast. so lousy ahha. but it was fun;D

went tk on sat morn and managed to talk to a few teachers. feels quite gd to see them again, although i felt ancient even among the prefects bcos there was nobody i actually really knew. wells.

i was really late for my meeting with my class girls after tt but hahah i lk the shirt they gave me. i lk wad it says, it almost seems lk those words came out frm my mouth and got printed there on the tshirt. anw I MISS HAVING FRENS arnd me all the time. so wad are army guys complaining about??

i cant wait for chorale to perform nxt week. we are so (not) prepared. ;D

cozy canopy

my class. yay.

just so my sis can see my new hair. ahha.

i've grown!

took a day off today;) just couldnt imagine myself working today. went back schools today to certify documents. mrs kong commented tt i've 'beefed up'. darn it. anw. im convinced tt im a big kuku. but anyways, dinner was great. haha.

i didnt know they painted tk that ugly orange colour. orange and green so totally do not match (think janice haha). i was so horrified when i walked through the foyer and saw the patches of orange walls. not just normal orange, dull orange. YUCKS.

vj looks the same. ;D saw nelson at the office, but we didnt talk much. anw i cant wait to see the choir at the exchange thg nxt sat. ( i think its nxt sat.)

angie's durian cake rocks! ahha.

im not authorized to view my own blog?

call me un-tech-savvy but yeah, tt page popped out when i tried to view my blog. anw eug and janice are coming my hse laters;D and thurs meet up was fun. i miss the girls so much. we just linked hands and walked through the whole of city link. and chatted. a lot. ah. food at glutton's bay isnt as fantastic as i thot it wld be, but oh wells. wished i cld have stayed on longer cos there was a band there that sounded quite nice.

see a new me frm tmr onwards! ;D hint. my mane is going away.

nanny mcphee!

finally watched it today. my underworld-cum-datemovie friends dont appreciate brit humour. so i asked my mum along;D anw i just felt lk i wanted to watch a movie tonight. was reallly tired at work..;) my mum had a headache watching the movie though, dont know if its a gd or bad thg;) the kids were really dreadful in the beginning.

i love brit humour. hee.

suddenly i see

suddeny i remembered the reason why i wanted to study overseas. it was because i wanted to get away from all these. by saying this i dont really mean i hate where i am now, cos i feel unnaturally patriotic to singapore in most ways and i know i will always return here wherever i may go. its not a bad place to be, really. maybe im just the kind of person who cant stay long at one place, or maybe its just me feeling rebellious. but the feeling that i want to be on my own was very strong and still is.

home makeover!

went ikea today. apparently there was a sale;) it was really crowded. i saw alot of things that i wanted to buy and put in my hse, but when i came back home i realised that by doing that i wld have to throw away alot of thgs that are still usable. So. until i get my own hse, i shall try to refrain from destroying home property;)

bought an orange lampshade tho! ahha. cldnt resist it, it was only six bucks. realllyyy pretttyy. and im planning to put photo frames all arnd my room. and i saw a yellow com desk! just a very simple one, and it was quite affordable. ;) i still wan a rocking chair but my room is reallyy too small. if i DO stay in sg to study, i mum suggested that i move into my sis's room which is obviously much bigger. then i can get my rocking chair. but then that wld mean that there will be two yellow rooms in my hse then;) ,muahah.

IF i do stay in sg. and i dunno if thats a gd thg or bad thg to me. i still cant decide. shall take my time to.

psst. ps. ive been writing the past two entries on my new laptop;)

meantime. its back to work tmr;(

you're on the other side of the world to me

had a happy day today. although i skipped chorale. and horny night. went for uni open houses with my class ppl. although we had one little boy whom we had to keep an eye on cos he kept walking off by himself, and a honourary member of our class who kept making weird comments(haha) it was really enjoyable. and of cos, although the fact that we ended up (as usual) with the guys dotaing. but hm okay. they're pardoned. cos army boys will still be boys. since i got my balloons ;)

anw met an old fren of mine today. and i felt quite happy about it. its great to see ppl whom you have not seen for a longgg time. ;)

another first day

but the people are definitely friendlier and easier;) all thanks to dawn's nice friend. the work's better too cos i get to do my own stuff and she does check on them but tts only for the first few days cos after tt im kinda on my own.

to give a run-down, i get less material benefits(eg. nice pantry, free coke, nice neat and clean working environment, lotsa paper clips and files and what-nots) but i get more satisfaction on the job(nicer ppl and more interesting job). so yay.

i can even go msn:D

also, danny frm butak pantai works here too. he's really tall in real life. and he looks less shy. complete with the messy hairdo;)

during lunch my "boss" was tryin to get her colleagues to guess my age. after which one grilled me on why i want to study law. edrea said its an occupational hazard cos he does all the in depth stuff. but anw it was nice to have lunch with ppl who are alive and kicking and talking.

the nxt job im gettin, im gonna get one that allows me to wear jeans to work.

ps. im gettin cpf too. arghhhh.

saturday= tummy-upset day

yup today i woke up to an upset tummy. again. it has to happen every sat. bah.

anw im glad that results are finally out(im still living as if it was wed, yes) cos its a load off everybody's mind. we were having lunch at jack's plc and i met an old teacher of mine so i went off to say hi, and when i came back to the table rai went 'yunie ur name's on the board. sorry i read ur msg, but yeah. its on the board' i couldnt believe it. well i still cant believe i got an A for econs but i did. hail jack. and im pretty proud of my maths;) i have john nash in me.

and let me congratulate my best friend the top scorer of singapore here;) am so happy for her;) MUACKS

but i start work nxt monday. boo.

and shame on shawn and lucas. booooo.

btw i lost all my photos AND songs cos my com crashed. im very sad. so friends, if you have time or smthg (pls do find time) try to burn a cd of all the pics we took togther? thanksss. or u can try to send to me to my gmail account. greatly appreciated alright? or ill have to crash ur hse one day and make myself comfortable.;)

party away!

went to highpoint halfway house today with mr ng and minxuan. i felt the old sv feeling creepin back. its really weird. now my mind's swimming with ideas. i shall make one of them come true one day. ;) oh but im pretty proud of myself cos my brain is still working. i can still make astute observations (ta-daaa!)

anw smthg really quite remarkable happened today. this uncle called me up and asked if i knew a young girl by the name of *****. i didnt recognise the name but the uncle continued to say that he picked up a wallet and it had my name and number and email add on it. so i thot for a while and i realised it shd be one of the east spring girls' wallet! anw i met up with this uncle who was really nice and kind to return the wallet. when i saw the photo on the ez-link card i immediately recognised the girl. ;) anw tmr im going down to the sch to return the wallet. since im so free.

;) two more dayssss. so lets partyy awaaayyyyyy.

bum bum

alright so ive been bumming around for three days alr. and i guess i do like it. so far. i looked into the newspapers today and i saw alot of recruit express stuff, guess i might be callin them up pretty soon. cant sit arnd and do nthg rite.
i tried paintin my lamp today but it turned out horribly ugly because the paint wont stay on the surface of the lamp, so you dont get a solid colour. and the texture's blimey. so i washed it off (its washable!! hai.) and now its white again. shall try again tmr. maybe i shd try smthg else, lk dots or smthg. easier huh;)

anw had driving again today and yay my instructor said im gd. although i still mount kerb when i did the sharp turn in the circuit but hey, fourth lesson only and im almost done with module one. woohoo. actually i was dreading driving lessons cos well, its scary (although in a fun way) and i really think its a waste of money cos its so expensive. but oh wells ive already started so i cant stop now. its lk eating junk food.

i think im falling in love with my new hse. i love the wind even though it blows the curtains all over the place and tying them up is a chore. and sometimes it gets quite cold in the night. and the ouside traffic is quite noisy. but i lk my hse;) its airy and bright and my room's yellow haha so, yay. :)

did i say ive been replaced?

well today marks my last day in my law firm. ive been replaced by a permanent secretary. i bought a box of nice biscuits frm marks&spencer and i went around offering them to my colleagues. i think it was a great way to strike up a conversation with them, over delicious smelling chocolate biscuits (esp when its late morn and everyone's hungry but you know its not really time for lunch yet;) ) and oh wells. ahha. its great talkin to ppl and gettin to know them and what they've done in their life. this lawyer who works really hard actually talked to me for bout ten minutes, and eventually tried to get me to buy a book about law from one of our colleagues. (haha). and then i went out for lunch with this funny colleague of mine who's really friendly and hip (cos she loves shoes too hee) and we actually went all the way to bras basah cos she wanted to get this precious moment bible. girlsss.:)
but too bad i wont ever get to see them again. but quite an experience.

today was my first driving lesson. today was also the first time i ever touched a steering wheel. today was also the first time i felt a car stall. five times. or maybe more, i didnt keep count.
tmr will be better. :) but it definitely was fun driving a car. woohoo!

who says you cant be productive at work? 

my favourite. i think it looks lk a shrub;) 

well another one. 

howdie mate

haha aust was fun(sorry this is lk, a wk late). i love the weather. its cold and sunny. but everytime the wind blows i wished i was back in singapore. i dont think i can stand cold weather that well.. as much as i love cold winds, i dont think i wld wan to live with it all my life!
and i lk melb's fashion. its all long skirts and half tops and big chunky necklaces and big belts. haha. and its summer sale over there now, although it isnt VERY cheap but hey its still quite a bargain. heh i just love shoppin. only thg bout melb was that u cant shop for shoes cos they nv have my size.
was abit sad coming back to singapore. i kept thinking about going back to work and how dreadful it wld be. but oh well today i helped to draft documents cos these few days my boss is really quite busy. and haha now everyone knows how fierce she can get. its scary, but then again i try not to cross her path too much:)
i had a really gd lunch with bing today. ate at asian kitchen(heh) and had xiao long baos(ha). cant wait for xiamen. then we can have it everyday! ahha.

im just glad the washing machine's fixed so we can finally wash clothes. and i spent the whole of last night ironing clothes. its not working i tell you. clothes never straighten. bad iron. haha today my dad did it and he finished it hahaha. yeah my dad rocks;)

i need to go exercise real soon. i really can feel the fats burning when i sit and slouch at my desk every day.

;)
