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. :)
