boring and mindless entry

(Friday) 23th Jan:

Had lunch after my morning lesson and went home without attending my afternoon lesson! It happened to be a very important lesson but I totally cannot make it already because I didn't manage to sleep on the previous night. =( 

GUILTY and WORRIED+++

Dinner with Jerry "near old-MJR". Our initial plans was to have dimsum at Wan Dou Sek but it was closed for the day because they happen to be one of the places to be closed for the pre-CNY period.  

End up, we had frog porridge and beef hor fun at Lorong 9. Wanted Tau Huey at Rocher but it was closed for CNY too! Tried Smelly Tofu instead and was rather disappointed. In fact, the only thing that was good that night was the frog porridge. The beef hor fun totally lost its standard already. The smelly tofu was nothing near the taste of those found in Taiwan or Hong Kong also, so yup. 

We walked from freaking Lorong 9 all the way to Aljunied. Can you imagine how much stuff we saw along the way?! haha. Well anyway, I guess Jerry wouldn't be the "old-Jerry" back in sec. school if he had actually walked to school everyday last time. It was really quite a distance. 

Anyway, thanks Jerry. =) 

(Saturday) 24th Jan:

Timbre-ed with HT and ZX. Wasn't exactly into the Birthday mood because the-time-of-the-month just chose to come on that very night and it freaking hurts and I was feeling damn SIAN. The band was the Goodfellas and it was pretty alright, much better than the acoustic of course. Had an half-half pizza, chicken wings, half a dozen of shots, soft drinks and a jug of beer which only amounts up to a total bill of $55! Mainly because we had free shots from the boss and free pizza from the kitchen, thanks to HT the ex-timbre crew and her beau of course.

Received an sms from Mel after the clock struck 12. =( My tears seriously welled up like crazy and the live band and alcohol weren't helping. Thank goodness that place was dark, no one noticed and my 忍功一流. haha. But well, damn sad. I miss him badly...

(Sunday) 25th Jan; CNY eve:

Woke up with many well-wishes for my birthday and CNY, thank goodness I silent-ed my phone! But geez, I was pretty touched. Thanks people(although I don't think anyone is reading this because less than 10 people know the existance of this blog?). 

Reunion dinner at grandparent's place. Quite boring I would say, there is just this serious lack of atmosphere this year, my cramps aren't exactly helping too. I can literally count the number of food I ate at the steamboat. I had like 3 fishballs and 1 slice of pork, a dozen of cockles, 1 scallop and 1 slice of fish. -_-" 

See how bored I was? No atmosphere, no appetite. 

But oh... my sweeet brother ordered a huge durian cake and planned to surprise me. But I just have the tendency to spoil surprises and plans because I "accidentally" opened up the freezer for absolutely no reason. -_-" Don't know what's wrong with me. I'm a jinx for surprises. 

(Monday) 26th Jan; CNY Day 1:

Had a gathering at the function room at my place. The traditional Ang's lucky draw game reminds me of Mel. =( He missed it this year. I lost my luck too, only managed to get the SMALLEST ang pao of $4. I used to always get the middle-top few ang paos every previous years. Haha, oh well, whatever lah. My family won the 4th prize of $88. Not bad too. =P 

Went to my aunt's place for ban luck after that with my cousins. I am not as WANG as last year already but still managed to Ban Luck a couple of times. Didn't exactly win much in the end though. 

(Tuesday) 27th Jan; CNY Day 2: 

Floated around at home. Feeling sick and fluffy. I only remember refilling my bottle of water non-stop for the whole day. 

(Wednesday) 28th Jan; CNY Day 3:

Present hunting with Jerry. No luck because 2/3 of the shops in town are still closed for CNY! Bad day to shop I would say. 

Visited grandad at TTSH after that. 

I miss nursing somehow. =(

Here am I typing this boring entry away.

Shall end abruptly because I suddenly just lost that mood and Mel just messaged me on MSN. Thanks for reading till this point if you had. Bye and Happy CNY. Huat ah! 

*singing in those live band tune*

Happy Birthday to me~ 

Happy Birthday to me~~

Happy Birthday... Happy Birthday...

Happy Birthday to me~

Yes, Happy Birthday to myself although I ain't exactly that happy lah. Don't quite feel that birthday mood at all. It just feel like any other day in my life although the date that appears on my phone/computer/calander tells me otherwise. But ai ya, whatever lah. 

There is nothing to be happy about. 

I already had a great birthday gift because my period chose to come on this very day. 

Whisper : Have a happy period! 

NO.

Warning: Slightly Lengthy Entry

Thursday:

KTV-ed at TOP ONE with the girls(minus Candy). I still love the sound system although the room they gave us was slightly disappointing. They gave us a small room, probably for 2 pax and there is no "dry ice" machine in the room! The drinks still taste rather horrid as usual(except for the very 1st time I went). 

Their speed of updating new songs are still pretty damn slow I would say. That's one big letdown apart from the drinks. 

Had a nice little catch up and some updates on the BKK trip. 

Friday: 

School made me really damn stressed out, this is going to be a HELL semester for me! I must really be damn "ON" this sem like what Zahid says. No kidding man. 

Met WQ and SY after my night class(10pm) for my very first meal of the day at Popeyes T3! Sinful but I feel damn 幸福(xing fu) at the same time! haha. I was suffering in hunger for the whole day prior to that meal lor! That feeling of eating such happy food over an ultra empty stomach is just pure shiokness. hahaha. Thank goodness WQ drove if not I might really just give up and alight somewhere along the way to eat. Imagine having to travel from City Hall all the way to Changi Airport on the MRT with an angry growling stomach and passing by food heavens like Geylang and Bedok! Thanks WQ! 

Had a nice little catch up too.  

P.S. I Love Changi Airport. 

Saturday:

Met up with SK and Fook for Haji Lane(actually SK and I were just merely accompanying fook la). We didn't complain because we are the nicest friends he can ever have. Haha. That place is definintely quite happening on weekends! All the Shi-Sha smokers and the many youngsters lurking around, probably also because it's pre-CNY. The weather rocks too! I didn't pespire a single bit this time round! Many girls were even wearing those faux leather jacket which is in style now. Great chance to wear it isn't it! 

Hope BKK has it! I am looking for a nice suave leather jacket! (not the waxy wet oily looking type of course)

Well actually, apart from being the nice friend, my plan was to buy some blings from Arab Street to pimp my DS's case but the shop closes at freaking 5pm on Saturdays and Public holidays! How LOGICAL. Went home empty-handed but it was alright because we had a great dinner and chill out session at BluJaz! I must repeat this, I absolutely love the weather lately! It's so windy and cooling if anyone of you haven't notice! I thought it was just me but I've comfirmed my claim with this article on Yahoo! News: 

Uncommon strong winds in Singapore

Hope the weather stays! Don't you just love China for "bringing" in so much wind lately? haha. Hope Thailand is still cooling when we get there at the end of the month!  Woo hoo! 

Oh yah, Fook got himself a pair of jeans for $200++ !!! Goodness, I can never imagine myself spending a 3 digits amount on a single piece of apparel yet. I would rather buy 10 pieces of cheap non-lasting apparels then spend it on just 1 as of now, but yeap, it's a reaaaalllly different type of concept for guys. We buy and throw away while the clothes and shoes guys buy can serve them pretty loyally. 

Anyway, I must mention that the shops over at Haji are really cool! Espacially the guy's! I feel so much like dragging Mel over there when he is back! haha! The deco and interiors are really tastefully designed too. I hate the prices of the apparels though. My eyes will just widen in amazement with every single tab. Thank goodness I am going to BKK.

***

I hate people!

Was on my way back from school yesterday and I sat beside this idiotic girl on the MRT. She was sniffing all the way from Lavender to Simei and I could sense that she had a very bad cold/flu. 

I still told myself: "if I were to catch a cold or be down with flu anytime soon, I should know why..."

True enough, I woke up feeling super groggy and made dozens of "wontons".

As if that's not enough, I received S's sms, asking me for "HELP" again. SCREW HIM and his incorrigible problem gambling! He still have the bloody cheek to say he would return me the money I lent him the last time if I help him out again now. If I were a tad more kinder, I would really personally bring him to seek some professional help(counselling or whatever). From the stories I've heard, he probably need it. Frankly speaking, I do pity him secretly but was firm enough this time. No more monetary help.  

Anyway, back to my cold. I know I was stupid enough not to stand up to change seats or just stand near the door or something BUT damn! That stupid girl should just stay at home since she was so sick?! Or at least stand at the door so that her cold bug won't fly all over the place? Or maybe wear a mask?! 

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... 

I'm in a terrible bad mood now. Poor tissues I've wasted and sense of smell and taste I've lost. =( 

TO HELL WITH PEOPLE! 

*typing this part of the entry while waiting for my Piriton to kick in*

I forgot to include that school was better than I thought. Had Grace and Estelle(coincidentally Bethia's good friend) with me and both of them happen to be the much nicer people I've met in Mass Comm. Had even added them on Facebook during the holidays. Lucky me. What's more, Estelle is Bethia's friend and we've already know more of each other's existance just recently. Pretty cool I would say. 

Anyway, I'm glad that the CTP modules are all individual work so I can foresee less hassle. CTP modules has more to do with political and cultural stuff which are part of my interest all along. I am starting to feel more confident although Grace told me that the lecturer taking us for another module is known as a notorious marker. He is so stringent that she already predict getting only a PASS for that module. JIA LAD.

Oh well, shall still be hopeful and work freaking extra hard! I don't want to see another PASS on my result slip and my new hobby for 2009 is to collect distinctions! hahaha. 

School is starting tomorrow!

Dreaded. Anxious. Uncertain. Apprehensive. 

New lecturer. New Classmates(my 2 closer friends are doing different module combination and different majors). New challenges. 

I hope you understand how I feel. Haha. 

Oh well. Shall face it with all my might! Because, I've already recharged myself for more than a month already! The battery will probably explode if it's overdone. 

So, wish me luck! =S

ARGH!!!

2 pieces of news. One good, One bad. 

Good news: My results for last semester are finally out after the long wait! It was suppose to be out from Dec 15th. *looks at date* It's already January 7th! I had been logging in religiously like a desperate fool for the past 3 to 4 weeks! I don't have to do that anymore. 

Bad news: My results are exactly the same as last semester! 1 pass and 1 distinction. I didn't improve!! FUCKKK! 

I expect at least a credit for my Professional Communication although I kinda screwed up badly for my 1st paper! BUT I FUCKING HATE TO SEE ANOTHER "PASS" on my results slip! It's damn freaking ugly lah! TA MA DE! I was hoping to only see one "PASS" on my entire results slip and here comes another! Damn bloody disappointed with myself!!!! ARGGGGGH!!!!! 

But then again, I have to admit I was damn slack for this semester. My 1st Prof. Comm. paper was super screwed and I probably had failed that paper. I should count myself lucky that I eventually passed overall because of other components. But I am still fucking sad! I mean, people are taking 3 modules per semester while I was only taking 2 for the past semesters. Some are even working but they can still do the same or even better than me! I ought to do better isn't it? Or am I expecting too much from myself? =((

*SIGH* 

Time to buck up next semester! Be organised and have better time management! I'll be taking 3 modules next semester and I plan to work somemore. Sounds like I am asking for more trouble. But I shall just try, if there is a suitable job out there. I need the money and experience!

Another thing I must improve on is to write faster! I am too used to typing and write quite slowly on paper and that's my archilles heel because I have to write alot during exams within a short time! I guess that 3 years in nursing spoilt me because we shade the answer sheet more than we write. I must learn to write faster!!! I wonder how I am suppose to practice that. But still, MUST IMPROVE! 

Had just gone through my units outline for next semester and I nearly fainted. It looks damn challenging. Essays, essays and MORE essays. The questions looks very tough to me too. Hope my new lecturers are able to guide us properly.

I am scared................. =( 

The down-to-earth wishlist...

1) Burberry Brit Sheer Perfume

Why I want it: It smells great! Fell right in love with it when I first smelt it at the airport's DFS. 

Price: HT and ZX are getting this for me I guess? =P

2) Nokia E71 

Why I want it: Saw Agnes and Charmaine using it but wasn't too impressed at first because of the Qwerty keypad and relatively small horizontal screen. I went on to read reviews of it and found out that this is the most highly rated and one of the best phones around now. Even HT said so! I swear this is going to be my next phone! No more Sony Ericsson crap. My SE hangs on me at least once a day! Can you imagine?! 

Price: This phone is currently out of stock, probably due to the promotion during the Christmas period! I need to get it from Singtel because my dad have some vouchers and I am eligible for a plan extension. And I shall wait....... =( 

3) Coach New PENELOPE OP ART WRISTLET

Why I want it: Convenience. And since the girls said that we will get each other a Coach wristlet for our 22 years old birthday because we are sick of hunting for presents already. So, I guess this should be included in the list too.

Price: $140? 

4) Longchamp Le Pliage Tote Bag in Bilberry or Fig

 

Bilberry

  

  Fig

Why I want it: Durable, easy to match because of it's ultra simple design, spacious and A4 friendly, great for school. 

Price: $100++++

5) Birkenstock (Papillio) Sandals 

 

Why I want it: Durable, easy to match, great for lazy days. 

Price: $89 

***

OKAY

***take a deep breath. It's the end of the "atas" section***

***

6) Precious Moments "January Princess" Figurine

Why I want it: Because I love Precious Moments figurines but never had any real intention to own one. This is small and meaningful, so why not? haha. 

Price: $9.90 

7) Stitch's DS Lite Cover 

Why I want it: My friends around me should know I am crazy over Stitch because I just can't stop fawning over this blue creature. My DS needs some make-over once in awhile because I face it every single day! The only problem is I don't know where this can be found. 

Price: $20 - $30? 

8) STICH PLUSH! 

Why I want it: Did you just hear something? Yes yes, they are screaming "Pllleeease bring me home!!" hahaa. Don't you think they are soooo soooo adorable?? 

But actually I am not being serious here because I don't think this can be found anywhere, unless you go to Japan, or if you are sourceful enough to find it online. =P But seriously, don't bother. This should be up on the impractical list instead although it can make me an extremely happy girl for awhile. =)

Price: Erm, around $20-$40 per plush? 

9) Majolica Majorca Lash Enamel Glamour Neo (Full and Smooth) Mascara

Why I want it: MM's mascaras are not raved for nothing. I have the Lash Expander one but my pathetic lashes still lacks volume. It would be great if I have this to volumise my lashes too, although I won't exactly die without it. Just feeling a little unsatisfied and greedy here. =P 

Price: $25.90 (available at Watsons)

10) Gucci Envy Me Perfume 

I will be happy enough with a small bottle of this. =) 

Or 

11) Anna Sui Secret Wish

My minature bottle of it is finishing and yup, I'll be happy enough with a small bottle too.

---

Actually, I am pretty fine with anything. I am even fine with nothing too. Just treat me for a little dinner and I'll be happy and glee. This is just a guide for my closer friends(and Mel) of many years are sick of hunting for presents because I personally hate it too. Old already, no need surprises lah. From this year onwards, I think everyone should come up with a wishlist when thier birthdays are around the corner too. Saves plenty of braincells. Agree? =P

I realise I am obsessed with jackets

Did some CNY shopping at Bugis today with Wei Qi because he has some esprit cash vouchers to spend, although he actually forgot to bring it out in the end. -_-"

 However, it wasn't a wasted trip at all because I brought home something I absolutely looooveeeeeeeeeeee to bits!

2 months back, I saw a white quilted jacket at i.p zone which I totally love but was unable to own because it ran out of stock before I could get it. 

Combed every i.p zones I see but to no avail. 

I was so freaking determined to get that jacket until I saw.... 

THIS!

YES! This exact piece! 

It's SO me I hallucinated seeing my name written on it! I dug out my wallet without second thoughts and am now a happy owner of it. 

I swear this is going with me on my next Taiwan and Hong Kong trip! (winter time of course)

I am kind of obsessed with jackets I realised. Shall do some spring cleaning soon because I HAVE TO this year. Will then count the number of jackets and hoodies I have in total. My rough guess would be 20 at least? 

Bought a flowery cardigan I had been aiming for ages, and a kimono dress. Both reek of a very strong cigarette smell. Damn those bloody smokers! They should ban smoking in Bugis Street too man! Since so many new locations are banned from smoking, might as well right? Haha.

I need a new haircut and hair colour very soon. I need to trim my brows too. 

I need to buy more bottoms, shoes, bags and back-to-school clothes also! 

Maybe starting school isn't a bad idea after all. At least it gets my ass out of the house more often. 

down-to-earth wishlist on the next post!

*my BB is soooo understanding. =) 

My impractical and ridiculous wishlist

As much as I hate it, I have to admit that I am freakin turning 22 years old in less than a month time. I'll be coming up with my birthday wishlist soon but before I do that, I'm going to compile a list of my impractical and out-of-the-world "wants" first! Just for fun. =) 

I am doing this to keep a little record of stuffs I dream of having. Please don't take me seriously because I know it's crazy.

1)  Fujifilm Instax Mini 7s

Why I want it:  Polaroids are fun! And of course, the camara itself and the films are super cute! The films are small too and can hence be conveniently slotted into wallets. 

Why I find it impractical: I already have a polaroid camera from Mel which I can hardly use because the films are damn expensive?! $2 per piece and my heart aches each time I take a photo. I'll only gladly shoot everyone in sight if I have an endless supply of films that cost $0.10/piece. On top of that, the picture do fade over time too. 

Price : Around $150 for the camera. For the films, around $18 for a pack of 10! 

2) Digital SLR 

Why I want it: Photos taken from compact digital camaras can NEVER look better than one taken from an SLR. I swear my next camera would be an SLR! No more chio but shitty compact digital cameras! Unless the photos are proven to be better than that of an SLR. 

Why I find it impractical: It's huge and bulky, difficult to carry around, difficult to do self-shots or self-timer shots without a tripod. I don't really know much about SLRs yet, shall only wish for one when I have learnt more about it somehow. 

Price: Thousands!

okay... enough of cameras... 

3) Wii + Wii Fit

Why I want it: Because it's freaking fun?! Can exercise using Wii Fit too! Losing weight through fun and games, isn't that one of the best thing in the world? 

Why I find it impractical: Actually, there's nothing impractical about this console. The only problem here is the price I guess. Another problem could be the space constraints around the TV area although I can't wait to kick my brother's Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles away! =P 

Price: Wii - around $450 (excluding $80 to $150 for modified versions). Wii Fit - around $200. 

4) Bicycle 

Why I want it: I've wanted a bicycle ever since I learnt how to cycle one at the age of 7 but my dad refused to buy for me because he knew the bicyle would just rot at some pathetic corner. I don't think so as I would love to cycle around the neighbourhood because I hate to jog. It's another way to move around more and shed some calories although everyone around me would still tell me otherwise. "jogging is still the best way... blah blah blah" *roll eyes*

Why I find it impractical: I don't know how often I will use it. It's kinda boring to cycle alone because I don't have much friends staying in the east, let alone any that will be crazy enough to cycle around with me. It might really just rot away at some lonely corner in my basement carpark. 

Price: I have no idea. $100-300? 

5) Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Neverfull GM

Why I want it: Because it's an LV? It's huge and my ideal kind of bag. No zip. Puurrrrrfect and I bet it smells great. -_-" 

Why I find it impractical: Because I don't need an LV. Not yet at least (or I might never "need" one). 

Price: $1090 I think? 

6) The New 13-inch MacBook

Why I want it: As much as I hate the sickening typical Mac users, I do hope to own one because I wish to meddle around more with graphics, videos and music. People who really knows me well will know why I would need a Mac. 

Why I find it impractical: Because my laptop is still very very much alive and kicking although I want to spit on it for its pathetic specifications and battery life. I seriously won't know what to do to this laptop if a new one suddenly appears. The high-defination display and inbuilt Altec Lansing speakers are too much of a shame to give up on when they are still working perfectly fine. 

Price: $2588 (2.4GHz and 250GB hard drive)

7) Air Ticket to Brunei 

Why I want it: To visit Mel of course! He probably won't be coming back till September and it's only January now. =( 

Why I find it impractical: I will probably feel even worse after going because I will be so painful to know that the next meeting will be in another few months time yet again. Also, it'll only be just a few days but the air ticket cost as much as $500+ already! The hotel stay isn't exactly cheap too. Not very worth the price I would say, although yes lah, can see Mel.  It's quite a dilemmic situation to think of! Gah! 

Price: As mentioned above, around $500 per tix for both Singapore Airlines and Royal Brunei Airlines. This is the only 2 airlines that flies there. That's the shittiest thing. 

===

Alright, I guess that's about all. Shall compile a real "down to earth" wishlist soon. =P

  

I enjoyed my dream...

Despite the tears and frustrations, I was quite surprised that my dream last night was a rather happy one. 

There were heartful laughter and fun in the dream and it was quite vivid, although the only person I recognised from a trio was the producer I worked with during my ultra short productions stint. I don't know who the hell the other fella was but his presence brought lots of enjoyment. I was seriously LAUGHING OUT LOUD in this dream and actually woke up feeling good. Mel suggested that the dream may be telling me that a production job will really make me happy? I think so too. =) 

Currently sipping Milo to curb my craving for supper. 

I am hungry for shopping too. I need new clothes, shoes, bags and accessories! I need new back-to-school clothes too! 

Hopefully I will be able to push myself to the gym tomorrow. I want to return to the weight 2 years ago before I met Mel !!!!!! Hahaa. Wish me luck. 

All your fault okay baby! All your fault! =P  

**Eat Less, Move More, Lose Weight, Look Pretty, Stay Young, Be Healthy, Study Hard, Collect Distinctions, Love More, Hate Less**

I miss making Milo for you before you head off to work. =) 

New Year, New Blog

I have this sudden urge to blog again, probably felt so after reading Eng Hua's regularly maintained blog. I miss blogging, somehow... 

The "excuse" to come up with a NEW blog struck me because it's a NEW year! Isn't it just a significant reason and beginning? =) 

I do enjoy blogging but I just simply hate the lost of freedom to write about certain stuff, which kinda defeat the purpose of blogging in the first place right? I hate it when I know someone is reading me when I wished they didn't (eg. family members). ooooops

Ever since I kinda closed down my first blog seven-miles, I actually tried blogging on different platforms but nothing seemed to be able to drive me. 

Here's my little record of blogs I "own": 

1) Seven-miles (closed it down because I hate looking back at the past and I hate being "watched" if you get what I mean)

2) 1 blog on livejournal which I couldn't even remember the name. (it contained all my rants and trash, mostly friends locked. You won't want to see that side of me there.)

3) liquid-white on blogspot (no entries at all -_-") 

4) melting-point on wordpress (contained less than 10 entries. It was suppose to be a record of my days during Mel's absence in Singapore, but wordpress just lags and die on me too often and isn't that friendly. I gave up) 

5) wardrobe.room on blogspot (my blog shop selling mostly my 2nd hand but brand new apparels and accessories. However, already inactive ever since I sold off 90% of the stuff in a flea market) 

6) the-5-gucci-shoes on blogspot (a shared blog with 午餐肉) 

7) and of course, this. 

Well, I have no idea what this blog will bring me and what the fate of this blog would be but this blog exist to record my path, just like a diary. I still believe blogs are evil. Shall see how things go. 

Starting school on the 13th. Quite shiok, I didn't know my holidays was so long. Will be taking 3 modules this semester and finally touching on my 2nd major which is CTP (Communications, Technology and Policy). I am getting quite sick of PR (Public Relations) already. Hope the 2 CTP modules I am taking this sem can bring me some life although the name itself sounds even DRIER than PR. *SIGH* Why am I not in NTU?! =( 

I still wish to work. Hopefully a suitable job can be found. (eg. part-time medical/nursing based job, airport job, productions, events). I don't mind working my ass off as long as the hours doesn't clash with my school hours and flexible enough to give some leeway during assignment submission/exam period). Pay doesn't matter as long as it's not too pathetic (i.e $3-$5 /hr). 

Better still, I hope Esplanade's urshering job is open. Shall check it out soon. 

New Year Eve was spent at Wan Leng's 21st Birthday. It was rather nostalgic. Familar faces with unfamiliar dressing. The guys are getting really stylo and the girls really elegant and classy. However, one thing for sure, I can still click better with the 1G and 2G  people. The memories of my sec 3 and sec 4 days just seems more vague than that of  sec 1 and 2. Actually, the memories of my Sec 1 and 2 days are so vivid I can even remember where I sat! That proves pretty much I guess. 

Chilled at my pool side with Jerry and Chin Leng after the party. Screw the countdowns. I don't look forward to anything in the coming year, except to see Mel walk out from the Changi Airport arrival hall back in my hands again for good, and getting my hands on the freaking degree cert in September(it better be). 

Oh... maybe I do look forward to Jay's new album next year too eh? hrmm....
