Listening to Fahrenheit's 很安静 as I'm typing this. (Hold back your comments about my fangirlishness first ok) Very apt song cos it's really quiet in my house now. Maid's prob asleep already, Sis and Bro are out, and my parents are in M'sia. Enjoy this peace and quietness actually. Everyday, I'm surrounded with people. Be it on the bus, lunch at my office's canteen, at the office, everywhere. That's when I learn to treasure being alone.
This week has been a roller-coaster one for me so far. I overdid things, let my imagination run to the North Pole, and gave myself heaploads of stress for nothing. I was a cranky, whiny girl yesterday too. That's bad. Fighters don't whine. Trying not to crack yet, cos this is not the most stressful period yet. I dunno if I can survive, really. Just a lil' bit and I'm at my boiling point already. Gotta learn how to manage stress.
My mood is like a yo-yo too. I sway from Go-getter to Loser. I don't wanna be a loser ok!! (Duh who wants to be one)
I'm ranting.
I'm gonna give it a second try, this time on my own. I appreciate everbody's advice and well-wishes, but let me try just once on my own. At least I can say I did it for myself. |

Watched 2 movies last week, Jennifer's Body (with RY, Amelia, Alvin and Tony) and My Sister's Keeper (with Poh Ying). Megan Fox is HOT man! It's not just her body, but EVERYTHING about her. Is she even human? Silly me thought it was a comedy, and it turned out to be a horror-comedy. Well it's not really scary but more of bloody. Can you imagine Megan Fox as a man-eater (literally)? Like, totally applies to her man, ha!
My Sister's Keeper was quite a moving movie, but I didn't tear as much, surprisingly. I thought that the cinema won't be so packed cos Halloween partygoers would be at clubs, but I was so wrong! And the GV lady was quite impatient la, though I don't really blame her cos the queue was freaking long. And what's with Singaporeans and their toilet habits? PS toilets made me feel like I'm in a 3rd world country. And don't blame it on the cleaners, cos the crowd's too much for them to handle. TSK.
Graduation on Wednesday was pretty good. got to catch up with friends and all. Alas, my contact lenses failed me so I had to wear my specs :( Lasik, perhaps?
Finally got started on Project C (: A lil' sense of achievement, though I suspect I'm over that craze already. but it's gonna start next month when I see him again.
Sleepy Sleepy. Today's not a productive day at work :( |

Especially when it comes to home-cooked food (:
And to answer LJ's question, the band/s I would like to see live in concert would be SS501 and Super Junior! Well I would fly to Korea to see em if I had ka-ching ka ching, cos it's killing two birds with one stone no? Great performance plus holiday.
Wishful thinking ya! |

So an sms frm Shu the Chimp led to a meet-up with Elshan, whom Chimp, Germ and I haven't seen in a while. And oh my, Elshan has changed a lot, and for the better too, haha! Had a nice time catching up with them over lunch at fish&co (: Haha can't wait for our xiao long bao buffet next (: Me loves xiao long baos (:
Didn't announce it in my previous post but I finally completed Boys Over Flowers yesterday! Haha ok I know I'm damn slow but there were a lot of interruptions in between :P
I'm entering the working world on Monday.
Unbelievable.

Went to Batam with my mum yesterday, and well, I found it a lil' boring :/ Maybe I wasn't really in the mood cos my contact lens were making me feel real uncomfortable and there wasn't much to shop. Ha..probably due to my high expectations. Well, not every place is like Taiwan isn't it?
But I must share this pic cos it's really interesting..
Haha..my eyes nearly popped out when I saw that. Hmm, is it considered copyright infringement?
And then there's local food..Gado gado, one of the few things I liked there.
Of course, how could we leave Batam without buying J Co donuts?
Been pondering over some issues recently. It seems weird that something which happened over a year ago is still fresh in my memory, maybe cos I haven't really tried to let go and forget, but merely distracted myself with things so that I could numb myself. It doesn't really work, so maybe now I'll really have to learn to move on properly if not I'll never do. And as for the other issue, I know many people think of it just as a passing fancy, something I'll grow out of once I get tired. Someone I know calls it "appreciating liability". I guess it is, and I'll probably stupid enough to immerse myself further, know that it leads nowhere. But for now, I don't wanna leave yet. Maybe I'll do one day, just not now.
And so Sunday marks my last day at the chocolatier. While I won't say it's the best job in the world, I won't say it's the worse too. Cos at there, I made friends, ate fantastic chocs (yum!!), and saw the many different types of people, as well as the ugly and beautiful sides of human nature. I learnt a lot there, and I hope my stay there was a fruitful one. So long, farewell.
i'll be starting work on Monday! Can't believe it. It's my first full-time job so I'm excited and nervouse at the same time, whether I can cope with the transition to working life, and if I can perform well. Fingers and toes crossed!
Ok it's video time, gotta go (:

Aced Distinctions for Comm Research and Conflict Management =D Yay!! Comm research is a miracle especially cos I screwed up the test and could remember anything. I used to have a knack for screwing up at the last lap so it's good I made it smoothly to the finishing line this time (:
And something good happened today too (: |

Geez my birthday month is almost over but I haven't blogged about my birthday yet! Haha ok so here's a long overdue post..
1st round of celebrations started on 31st July when the Godiva Gang met for dinner at Central's Ma Maison (: Yummy yummy food and lovely ambience. Alvin cooked up this story about how he drove a "lorry" to fetch all of us to Vivo later and I really believed him -____- Seems that my gullibility didn't improve with age :( They started giving me presents one by one, but I was told that the final present was in the "lorry's" boot and it would be mine only if I found it. Well the "lorry" turned out to be a car and I guessed the wrong vehicle but the present was mine anyway (:
2nd round was karaoke and dinner the next day with some of the FRH gang (: As my friends will know, I LOVE KARAOKE =D Yup went pretty high during the session (: Got a pleasant 'suprise' too. Dinner at Ebiboshi Japanese food street at Iluma was good but the ordering system was damn confusing. Seems that technology doesn't really help after all :P
3rd round was buffet lunch at my house. Very hectic cos a lot of people and a lot of my friends couldn't find my house :P My cake was a little messed up cos my mom/dad dropped it :( But overall I had a fun time and I hope my friends did too (:
And I finally met up with Shu En, Germaine and Fabian the day after national day. Like, finally! Haha..cos everytime we wanted to meet something had to crop up :P
Just wanna say THANK YOU to everybody for everything that you all did (: Haha I was literally 'showered' with gfts. I know people around me always care for me but it's occasions like these that you feel especially so. Thank you thank you! Pics are on facebook cos I'm lazy to upload :P Been working almost every day now. I wanna bum around, watch BOF and just sleeeppppppp! Yet, the need to look for a job beckons. I gota buck up, time doesn't wait.
With great power comes great responsibilities. |

Hello everybody! Haha I know not many people read this space but sorry for the lack of updates. Been busy with school (finally over!) and work (taking up a lot of my time now), hanging out with friends and the occassional bummming around ^^ Geez there's so much to update I don't really know where to start from..
Okayy first up was the TW trip in July. Call me crazy, but yeah I flew all the way there to see Fahrenheit :P Can't believe myself too. T'was quite a last minute trip so didn't manage to shop around much or do the usual touristy things. It was fruitful in the sense that we did see who we wanted to see, yet I felt it was such a pity we couldn't do more. Anyway, here are some pics (:
Camwhoring on the plane :P
The reason why we went TW..(Wu Zun was filiming in China at that time)
Seafood pasta from Modern Toilet Restaurant at Xi Men Ding
Mushroom soup
Yummy tau huay (: Love the red beans especially. You even have the option of adding shaved ice if you want. Perfect during summer (:
Famous Ba Wan from Zhang Hua. I thought Ba Wan meant meatball but apparently their Ba Wan was more like a giant soon kueh :P
Ahhh I miss TW so much!! Despite my not-so-fluent Mandarin nowadays, I still wanna go there again. Or better still, live there!
Ok shall blog more next time.
Ciao! |

Wow..I haven't blogged in 2 weeks! Lots has happened since the last time I blogged. Can't help but feel that time is moving really fast. So many things I wanna say but just didn't have the time/mood to write about it..
Watched Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince with Yan Jie today and I must say that it's not bad..although the part where Dumbledore died was really anti-climax. Things were a little too fast-paced too. But well, it's a movie after all so I don't expect too much from it. After watching the movie, I have the urge to read the book again cos I couldn't remember exactly what happened.
We checked out ION Orchard and Orchard Central after the movie. And walking around ION Orchard really struck me the stark rich-poor divide, even in S'pore where everybody is supposedly 'equal'. I guess there's no such thing as being 'equal', cos the rich-poor divide will always be around. ION is really high-end man, have you been to a supermarket where the staff actually greeted you at the entrance? Hahaha..I was so amused man ^^ Orchard Central was quite boring though. Lots of shops were not open yet and the layout's really confusing. And at the request of my dear friend YJ, here's a birthday wishlist. In case people don't know what to get me, hehe :P But really, your well wishes are the best presents already (:
1. Harry Potter full set
2. Leather wallet
3. Vintage bags
4. Havaianas/Birkenstocks (I know I have 2 pairs each, but the more the merrier la)
5. Jackets
6. MP3 Player
7.  (just kidding!)
Shall blog more about my TW trip when the tests are over. Speaking of which, I have no time to study for em :(
School's ending soon, no more student life :( This is when I hate growing up..If only I could be like Peter Pan..
