Oh man, this blogger is so dumb. Why is my blog layout screwed again. :O

Alright, this is the best I can do. Goodness, I've been so busy lately I can't be bothered to blog. Weekends are now so precious I can't bear to spend them blogging about my mundane life. Anyway, I'll still update on everything. Someday.

This is to remind me:

- Dental appointment + permanant tooth extraction

- My job as an art teacher, teaching primary 1s & 2s

- Squad outing on Wed

- Meeting bb on Fri (finally!)

- Lilypirates warehouse sale on Sat (haha probably will be going with yoke! Too cheap to be missed.)

Yup, this pretty much summarizes everything I've been doing/ am going to do. :) Goodnight!

2012-02-01T09:29:00.001+08:00

I just went to send bb off. Not following him for the Tekong tour cos it'll probably be weird, plus I'm starting work today. Oh man, I'm trying very hard to stop myself from crying... :(
I just need to keep reminding myself that three weeks pass very quickly.
It'll be fine.

2012-01-30T23:31:00.001+08:00

I'll blog about my dental trip tomorrow k. I've been seeing a lot of status updates on Facebook and Twitter from boys who are enlisting during these few days. Every time I read those stuff, I feel so god damn thankful that I'm a girl. 2 years seems long, though time passes quickly, but it's still horrible. Getting scolded, physical training for 5 days per week. And you only get to sleep on your comfy bed twice a week. :( I feel so sorry for all the boys, my friends who are enlisting soon. I WISH YOU ALL GOOD LUCK AND ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR TRAINING. YOU ALL WILL BE FINE. Think of it as a responsibility of protecting your family and loved ones. After all, being a soldier is pretty honorable. :)
Hai I feel so superficial saying all this. Is like I'm saying 风凉话and I should just shut up since I'm not gonna be the one enduring all the shit. But still, I'll pray for the safety of all the army boys (except those people that I don't like luh of course).
ALL THE VERY BEST TO MY ARMY BOYS FRIENDS. :)

2012-01-30T12:35:00.001+08:00

Oh my, I'm one hour away from my dental appointment. Currently taking the train on the way to meet my mum. Ah I'm kinda excited. And quite scared. Excited cos I haven't been to the dentist since years ago. Scared not cos of the pain, but more of the reliability of the doctor. Cos this is the earliest slot the receptionist could give me, so I won't see the regular family dentist. :/ I really hope I'll be fine. My teeth hurt now, though I finished my ibuprofen already so I'll just have to 忍 until the session is over. Or maybe a few days after that... Oh well, I'll be fine! Shall blog again tonight. :)
GOOD LUCK TO MYSELF!

2012-01-29T00:09:00.003+08:00

Okay I just read someone's blog (that someone cong stalks often :P). She was saying how she and her bf will start point out all the things they want in their future home while shopping at Ikea.
It was like OMG I DO THE SAME THING. Like every single time we go to Ikea we do the same thing. Never gets bored manz. :O Especially since we stay in the east, makes Ikea window shopping a whole lot more convenient. :D Yay okay shall plan Ikea date soon. I still have two free ice cream to claim! :D

Pre-除夕夜
Reunion dinner was at ah ma's house, just like any other year. We had steamboat. And yusheng. I'm beginning to like yusheng I think. It's addictive. :)

I love reunion dinners at home. Home-prepared and all, makes reunion dinners more traditional and meaningful. :) (Cheaper also, save money.)

除夕夜
Reunion dinner with my paternal side's relatives at Pioneer Spring Gardens I think. It's some restaurant which we went a few years ago to celebrate my grandma's birthday or something. It's at Safra. Expensive max. Each table costs like $888+++ which probably added up to a thousand plus per table. Food was good though, and fast service, plus free flow of drinks - water/coke/sprite.
Yusheng again! Most dishes were awesome. Love Asian food manz. And traditional desserts ftw - black sesame tang yuan in red bean soup NOM.

初一
1) Nai nai's house. Actually every year is the same, first house was always nai nai's house. I was the last to wake up and took like more than an hour to get ready. :P I wore my First Date Dress from Lilypirates. Oops old dress, cos I wore it in Taiwan, but my mum insisted that its pretty, so I wore that instead of the orange dress I bought from Taiwan hmm.
But that stupid dress requires big boobs to wear, so the front part of the dress kept sagging and I had to use a safety pin to prevent exposure of excess cleavage.
Oh my, look at all the new year goooooodies on the table... I'm waiting for cny to be over so my nai nai will start distributing the food. :P My pathetic house only has bak kua and pineapple tarts, and a container of hazelnut coffee cookies. All given by people, we didn't spend a single cent.
We went outside to take this photo. Many many years back, we took a similar photo, where we stood according to our age. But this one is a bit of a cheat, since almost all the girls were wearing heels.
Thanks to my 4.44 inches heels (eee why is the number so inauspicious) I looked like I'm the second tallest. :D But this pair of heels was super worth it. Cost me NT 399 (less than SGD 20), super comfy, versatile colour and it's glossy. Me like. :) Bad thing is that it takes me quite some time to wear them cos of the shoelaces. And if you stand on soft soil, the heels will actually dig in. :O Not bad luh, the colours of my dress were pretty Chinese New Year-ish. :) Okay this is a fairer photo. No shoes.
2) Ah ma's house. Went to ah ma's house for lunch. Waited so long there for my cousins to arrive haiyo. Oh man, my baby cousin is so cute!
My ah ma cooked chup chai for lunch and some other dishes. Then we sat around to talk about random funny things. Damn awesome, I love the people at my maternal side. :) And my ah ma was telling us that she bought dresses for the baby for like $2.50 - $3 each. Wth right! Super cheap and nice. She took them out to show us. :O Ah my mum sucks at taking photos. It's not even focused. But I still like this photo. :) And yixuan's romper was very pretty! Me like. :D The two Rafflesians. Pft haha. Notice the similarities. Hm actually yixuan and I will look alike too with our glasses. ;D
My ah ma started talking about how chuan kai used to be a naughty baby, and that he'll give this damn innocent face after he does mischievous stuff so my ah ma won't have the heart to beat him. :)
Ah so cute. :D
3) Uncle's house. Usually we'll head to my yeye's house before going to my uncle's house, but they already fetched my yeye there, plus his new house is too small to accomodate everyone.
Ate yusheng again, but this time, with all the good stuff like abalone and salmon. :)
Went back to the room to play our mahjong after eating the yusheng. Totally no luck at all. Played like ten over rounds the entire night and we only won one game. -.- Dinner was super good. There were so many kinds of meat - saba fish, beef, ginseng chicken, ma2 you2 chicken, braised duck, abalone, pork etc. All homecooked. :)

初二
I woke up earlier, but I was still the last one cos I took another hour to get ready. :/ Didn't even bother tying my hair. Wore my cheap mustard dress from some random shop in Toa Payoh. $12 only heehee! And I like the lace at the back yay!
1) Iris' uncle's house. I don't know what we call him, cos we only see them once a year and all we say were "Hello! Happy New Year *shakes hands*" or just "Hi, xin nian kuai le!" Um yea. :P His house is super artsy fartsy. That's my model house. Just wait, next time my house will be like his haha.
Mahjong. We took turns, so chunmei and shuenhwee and chernhwee took turns to play Monopoly Deal with my bro. Spot them in the background. Haha my bro is damn good at it, maybe he can be a property agent in future hmmm...
Iris took one seat, I took another with hernghwee. Szekhuen and kerncheh shared one slot. :) Won about 3 games. Not bad already luh. :P
Lunch was at Macs @ West Coast. So many people omg!
Bought my Happy Meal but they didn't have the Hello Kitty toy I wanted, so I settled with the 3rd design. The person almost forgot about my toy, I had to remind her. :( Plus my cup corn had no more margerine. And they forgot about my spoon. And they mixed up my dad's normal fries with twister fries. But it's okay cos twister fries are more expensive. *cheapo* Oh and they gave my cousin extra twister fries. :P But I'm not blaming them luh. There was really a lot of people and they did try their best to get us our food asap.
Bah I'm tempted to call twister fries curly fries. Doesn't that sound cuter...
2) Lao gou's house. Usual place too. But every year, we'll die from boredom cos we don't know anyone there, and they have no mahjong, so we'll play poker in the kitchen. This year kerncheh prepared like Uno, MonoDeal and poker cards so we could entertain ourselves. But in the end, some uncle ended up teaching us how to play some ancient card game. You know those long colourful cards the old aunties and uncles play at the void deck.
Quite fun, but it's so complicated my brain can't take it. :O 3) Aunt's house. Mahjong time!! Kerncheh went home to take his mahjong set so we can have two tables playing mahjong. In the end the other table decided to play the ancient card game. Bad mahjong luck again aiyo. Only won one round. D: Looking cui at the end of the day. :O
Dinner was Sakae delivery. Some prosperity plate haha!

初三
Met julian for dinner at White Sands. Macs! I was determined to get the snowboarding Kitty hah! And I got it~! :) Julian came over to kill time while we watched csi cos of the free channels. :D Until about 10 plus, we left the house to meet nathan at Pasir Ris Interchange.
Went to miranda's house for sleepover. Luckily we cancelled the midnight movie plan. Saved us 10 bucks and we spent the whole night playing mahjong. The mini one, damn cute lah.
I won like 5 games and lost the rest, so after the first 4 rounds, I earned about $4+, but I lost everything by the time we ended. Net earning was 70 cents haha! Miranda won the most. The boys not very lucky lah. Julian lost like 2 bucks. But we kept the stakes small, so the game was affordable. :P My first attempt at 13yao1. I had 9 out of 13 tiles. :O I tried it again after that, but obviously didn't work. Woah if it did, all of them would be pok. :P Anyway, we played till 5+AM. First time. :P

初四
Breakfast at White Sand's yakun. Yay traditional Asian breakfast ftw! So delicious. Actually it was our brunch, cos we ate at about 12 noon. :P We sat around to talk for a bit.
After they left, I waited for my mum at White Sands cos she needed to do some shopping. Ended up accompanying her for grocery shopping at NTUC.
Course at night, and julian came to fetch me after his OG dinner. :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Yup that's about all my cny activities for 2012, or rather, Year of the Dragon. The next post will likely be about my toothache. And then julian's enlistment. Oh maybe I'll do some "10 reasons why I love CNY" post haha, if I'm bored enough. :P
And omgosh my toothache is killing me. I have some decayed tooth/teeth somewhere in my mouth which prolly need(s) extraction/ fillings. Whatever, the doctor can do anything to me, as long as it guarantees improvement in my oral health. Save my ass (teeth) please!!! Luckily there was some slot on Monday so my initial appointment on 29th has been pushed forward. Thank goodness. Its so packed I booked it on 1st Jan this year and got a slot on end Feb. -.- I sort of can't wait for Mon. Its been years since I last visited a dentist. A foreign doctor though, cos our usual one is only free on Wed but this Wed she's fully booked ugh.
WISH ME LUCK! *Keeping my fingers crossed* :

2012-01-23T22:59:00.002+08:00

-------------------------------------------------------------
Okay that's it! Not bad lah we both passed the test haha. I shall blog about CNY in the next post! Bye and Happy Chinese New Year! :)

2012-01-21T02:10:00.002+08:00

Hi blog, its 2AM now, and I'm still not asleep. Last night was pretty shitty. I kinda had some minor stomachache that kept going on and off, and something else bothered me, which I don't wish to say here. :/
I was syncing my phone. Damn it took me near 2 hours. -.- And I had to change all my apps and delete and add new ones cos this comp contains the data of 3 iPhones, plus my phone is running out of space. :( While syncing, I was watching videos of Boyfriend Tag on YouTube, and just watching random videos of couples. I don't particularly miss bb or what, but the videos made me happy. It's nice to know that there are so many happy people in the world. :) That's why I like the movie New Year's Eve. All the happy people counting down to a new year. :)
I'm feeling so much better right now. Just need to be positive. Ah, my blog is getting so dead, I'm like talking to myself but its okay! My blog keeps me happy. Can't imagine life without it, after recording my life for almost 6 years. Wow, that's an achievement. :)
When I wake up later, I shall decorate the notice board I bought at Giant. My bro and I agreed to share. So I shall pin up photos of bb and I which we developed the other day at Parkway. I shall now refer to him as bb, so much easier to type, plus it's what I call him anyway. The name originated from weishan and jacq haha, bb being boy boy, but whatever lah it sounds like baby too. :) Then one day I shall develop photos of squadmates and pin it up too. :)
Tonight we will have reunion dinner at my ah ma's house. Steamboat probably, traditional reunion dinners. And I shall do tribal nails for cny. Hopefully they'll work out, cos I'm not very confident of drawing with my left hand. Shall do nails on Sunday. Plus my mum's. I picked out a really simple and feminine design for her. :)
Oh man, you know what, next time my house will be woody and tribal-ish. I love tribal prints and colours. :O And I bought a new feathery brown dream catcher from Taiwan which I hang above my bed. I'm recently into friendship bands too. Too lazy to make myself though, but bb and I bought one each from Taiwan and we bought two more each yesterday. Now I have three on my ankle, and I don't take them out when I bathe cos I'm very very lazy.
Ooh it's now 3AM. Goodnight.

2012-01-19T00:41:00.002+08:00

Yay now I can post large photos cos there is a lot of space on my blog. :) Monday was squad outing - 1 of 12. :) Wanted to go Pitstop for the surprise belated birthday celebration for gao chuxi, but apparently Pitstop died or something, and they inconsiderately not update that on their website. No wonder when I tried calling to book on Sunday, the line didn't get through. -.-

Ended up in some Japanese restaurant, which I think is gonna die soon too, cos the lady boss was kinda desperate. She waived the 10% service charge plus we got free Hokkaido ice-cream. :O There were no one in the restaurant, so we practically stayed there till 9+PM. :) Talked about squadmates' jobs, and random stuff. :D Yay. The food was good, but kinda expensive. :/
After dinner, we went to the riverside for photo. Melia and hong sneaked off to buy cake for chuxi (they came up with the excuse of needing to pee), but somehow only cong knew, while the rest of us were complaining how lousy melia was at finding toilets, and that melia was probably shitting away haha. :P
Anyway, it was a good night. Short but sweet. :)
NEXT SQUAD OUTING: 15 Feb @ Clarke Quay - Korean BBQ! :D

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two Sundays ago, was class outing at East Coast Park. I don't know if it's a class outing or not cos only six people went. I must be possessed when I agreed to yuhan's message, cos I freaking don't know how to cycle (and I am not interested to learn tyvm)! But anyway, I told him I'll only go if someone double-bike me.
And yup. Ended up double-biking with yuhan (mostly) and waikhin. The rain was bad and made my bag wet and dirty. :( Plus our journey to the longass-road was cancelled cos of the rain and we ended up seeking shelter in a pavillion from the heavy rain. :(
When we cycled back, the rain stopped. -.- Since we didn't have much time left, we went to Bedok Jetty to enjoy the scenery. Guessed which plane was taking off, watched people fish, and all. Took a group photo as well. :)

Dinner-ed at Carl's Junior. The person gave an extra packet of fries and since I was sharing a meal with Wannqin, we managed to save near $2 each cos of the free fries and free flow of drinks. Shhh. :P But Carl's Junior's servings were really big. And expensive. I'm going back to Macs hah.

Anyway, that was about it. Yay to direct bus home from Parkway Parade. :D

2012-01-14T20:45:00.002+08:00

Oh yay! New look for my blog. I changed the template and made my own background using Cath Kidston wallpaper, but there's still something wrong with my blog. I can't place gadgets on the left and right sidebars, so I can only make do with this. :P Blog archives, blog list and to-do-list are below. :) There's still the whole chunk of empty space at the bottom, probably some html fault which I can't figure out. :( Nevermind luh, MY BLOG IS STILL CHIO. Yay! :D

-----------------------------------------------------

Continuing the Dear John post...

I just remembered another movie with the same idea of two people in love but the guy is serving the nation somewhere else - New Year's Eve. That was the part I started crying, when the nurse webcammed her boyfriend on nye while wearing her new dress, then he disconnected. Super disheartening. If I'm her I'll kill myself. :( Aish, if we have world peace then we wouldn't need the army right... Bah I'm crapping. Shall go finish up my course homework.

2012-01-14T13:44:00.001+08:00

19 and I have no access to my own bank account. How pathetic.

2012-01-14T00:16:00.001+08:00

Just watched Dear John, and I started crying when it was barely half an hour into the movie. This post is not going to be like the other posts about movies, so I'm not gonna rant about how hot Channing Tatum was. But the movie really set me thinking.
You know the worse kind of ending to two people in love is that the guy has to go to the army or fight in a war, leaving the girl to wait for him. I was crying the whole time, crying over the complexity of life, crying over how tough it was for the two of them, crying over the fact that in two weeks time bb is going to be in the army.
I know Singapore's army is not like that of America. He doesn't need to travel too far, and I can still see him during the weekends, but it's still gonna be hard. I'm dependent on him. He helps me to settle a lot of things, he helped me a lot back in HC with my homework, sometimes he settles my meals, he fetches me from NAFA after my course cos it was late and he was worried about my safety... I see him every other day And two weeks later I'll be on my own. I don't really wanna think about it but I'll have to face reality anyway.
Two years. It's gonna worry me a lot, because no matter what, there is still a certain level of risk he will be in. I really wish for the best.
Actually come to think of it, maybe having the world end this year is a good thing. The world is a perfect place without the human race. It dawned on me while I was watching Nat Geo in the afternoon. Because of the complexity of the human mind, we complicate the nature. We create conflicts, wars... Everything that we can do without. If our presence doesn't help make the world a better place, ending everything once and for all is a good idea. I apologize if you feel that I'm thinking too much and am dramatizing everything, just wanna pen down how I'm feeling now. Sorry.

12 pieces of tissue. It really made me think a lot.

2012-01-12T15:16:00.001+08:00

My blog layout is screwed. And I don't know why... :(

2012-01-10T14:48:00.006+08:00

Yay I'm finally done with blogging about the Taipei Trip 2011. :D Spent so many hours on this - editing the contrast, brightness, saturation and temperature of the photos, uploading them, then editing them again using the Blogger app on my phone. Whew but I'm done!!! (You probably have to click on "Older posts" to view the posts on the entire trip.) Haha I edited this photo on photoshop. Had nothing better to do. :P And yes, I did write the words myself cos I doubt there's such font. :P

Let's do a short conclusion. :)
Favourite place: 淡水! Although there wasn't much food there, but with the great scenery and cheap shopping, what more can you ask for! :)
Favourite food: 臭豆腐wins hands down! I loved it since years ago and nothing can beat it woots! New additions, 棺材板and 7-11's饭团! Nom nom!
Best buy: Shoes! My brown heels, the boots and my Everlast shoes. :) The flats I bought for my mum too. :P Um, the cheap and good notebooks from Shida Night Market. And all the bags from Tamsui! :D
Cutest guy/ girl: This is for fun. I was thinking of the waiters at 天外天火锅自助餐, cos I remember telling julian that their staffs were all damn good looking. :O But I shall give the title to the Jingmei Family Mart cashier. :D Haha cos I really think he's cute. Too bad the mart closed down already. As for the cutest girl... Of course it's jung lah. :D

Special thanks to:
1) My mama, for lending me her credit card and helping us with booking of flight during A level period. :)
2) My dad, whom I think paid for my flight. :P
3) Julian's family, aunt and uncle, for settling our accomodation at Taipei and our transport to and from the airport. Oh and also his aunt's boss. :)
4) Siu and melia, for taking all the photos throughout the trip. :)
5) Chu, for planning the whole itinerary. :)
6) Julian and matt, who let me join them which greatly reduced my expenditure on shopping. ;D 7) Jung, who went all the way from Taoyuan to meet us at Taipei. :)
8) Jiayuin, cong, meichun, walter, chee and all our family members, who went to send us off at the airport! :D

It was a really wonderful trip, thanks to all my travel mates. :) I still have some 台币left which I refused to change back cos I will亏本, so... Let's explore other parts of Taiwan someday! :D

2012-01-10T00:40:00.003+08:00

Day 1 [24.12.2011] - 新加坡樟宜机场
Met the rest of them at Changi Airport. I'm so glad my house was freaking 10 minutes away from the airport, cos I was still doing last minute packing and we actually rushed out of the house. :P Everyone was punctual though. :D Helped melia to keep some stuff cos she didn't buy the 20kg check in limit, then we went to check in our luggages and collected our plane tickets. :)
Matt's family is damn cute, cos they 全家大小were at the airport, and they were hitting off well with melia's family hahaha! :D Meichun and walter (I feel weird typing this cos I don't know him personally...) went to send us off. Tay went too! :D And matt/ jung's friend. :)
She followed us for dinner at Burger King, but we got lost at Terminal 1 so we wasted some time navigating our way. Met cong after tay, mc and walter left and she ate dinner with us. :)
Somehow we were going to be late already so we rushed up to the departure hall and brisked walk. Rushed into Times to buy my Cosmopolitan, while the rest went to the toilet. You know how troublesome it is to go to the toilet when you are wearing belt and tights, and I ended up sacrificing my toilet trip for Cosmo. Then we saw the screen that said "Last call" for our flight and we ran like siao. By "we", I meant only siu and I. The rest were laxed. Sigh, to think they were all from UG, totally no sense of urgency erh. *shakes head in disappointment* But there was a bunch of late people too, oh well, still managed to catch our flight. :)
Sat with matt on the plane, and guess what, half the sole of my left boot came out. -.- Unlucky max. I was complaining to him and all he did was to laugh.
Anyway, the plane ride was boring. I read Cosmo until I was tired. Went to sleep for a while but I woke up soon after for no apparent reason. :( So I started to draw, while matt was snoozing his ass out THROUGHOUT the 4-hour flight. Okay, maybe not, he spent the first 30 minutes reading. :) *rolls eyes*
When we were going to land, matt was wearing his jacket with the hood covering his face, and this flight attendant came and said:
Him: Excuse me, hi.
Me: *Looks at him thinking that he called me*
Him: *Waves his hand in front of matt's face, who obviously can't see cos his eyes were covered by the hood*
Me: *Nudges matt*
Matt: *Takes out his hood and looks at the air steward blur-ly*
Him: Hi you may want to refrain from wearing your jacket this way as it may impede your escaping. :)
The next thing he knew, was the other four of us laughing like mad. It was way too epic. :D

- 桃园国际机场
Reached Taiwan's airport and the first thing I did was to rush to the toilet. I held it in for more than 4 hours omg I could hear my bladder crying. Plus, I was walking like a penguin cos of my broken shoe. :'(
Ah but being a resourceful human being, I used a rubberband to tie my boots, so yay! I was free to run and jump again! :D Anyway, we spent so long in the toilet we ended up being one of the last few people to check out.

Day 2 [25.12.2011] - 桃园国际机场
While we were queuing, the clock struck 12. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! :D
First time spending christmas overseas. Not especially significant, cos we don't really celebrate christmas, but nonetheless, it was still nice to be with your friends. :) Anyway, we got stuck at the counters cos we all didn't know what to fill for the address of accomodation. Luckily there was wi-fi and matt managed to find the email julian sent us a few days ago. :P
Met julian and his uncle and cousin at the arrival hall and he brought us to wait for the van. When the van arrived, they helped to load our luggages before leaving. So nice of them. :)

- 景美
The journey was about 40-45 minutes. Reached the house at 1+AM. Love the house. It was so cosy. And it was actually quite big. :O
Yay group photo! :D And look at matt's sexy butt.
After unpacking, we went down to the Family mart opposite the house to buy food cos we were famished. Bought onigiri and soybean milk. :) Then we came up, ate, bathed and slept. All ready for the exciting events ahead! :D

Day 2 [25.12.2011] - 景美
Woke up late for brunch at the 锅贴shop near our house. Julian went with his family previously and recommended it to us.

We must be super hungry or something cos we ordered a lot of food. :P I don't especially love 锅贴, but the ones from that shop was really not bad. :O

We also ordered 水饺, which weren't as nice as 锅贴. :P The skin was a little too thick.

And how can we not order 贡丸汤. Meat is good for you! :D Their meatballs were really good. They are like real solid meatballs and not the 偷工减料kind. :)

After julian treated us breakfast, we went to the shoe shop opposite to look at shoes. Branded shoes but at a cheaper price cos that shop was like a factory outlet, with all the rejected sizes, past designs and manufacturing irregularities. BUT THERE WERE SO MANY NICE SHOEZZ! I was really considering this Puma medium cut sneakers and I tried on it while waiting for the boys the other day. Fits perfectly omg. But I didn't buy in the end. Save money. :3

After that we went to get milktea from 85度C, also walking distance from our house and near the metro station as well.

After we got our beverages, we headed to the metro station to buy our 优游卡and change our big notes. You know how money changer always gives large notes and it's really hard to buy stuff, especially if they cost NT30, for example, and you pay them with NT1000. Yup anyway, I love their money exchange machines. You can change from notes to coins and vice versa, plus they will generate different combinations of values for you to choose from. So nice and convenient. :)

We were then on our way to 后山埤站. Took a lot of photos cos it was our first time on Taipei metro. :P
I think it was then we started laughing at matt cos he went to mimick the announcement where they said "no chewing of betel nuts on metro". He said it in dialect haha! Which was why siu's photo album was named - ah see bo bin lang. :D

Ooh we all have red bags. :D

- 五分埔
We met jung at the metro station and went shopping together at 五分埔. Ended up splitting cos we had too many people and the rate of shopping was just too slow. :P
The place was like Taiwan's Bugis Street, just a bit cheaper. I was spam buying things, bought a pair of black shorts for NT100 (SGD 5), an orange sweater and a brown one, both knitted, for NT200 each I think. Actually that was all for the clothes part because it was winter in Taipei and all their clothes were too warm to be worn in Singapore. :/ I bought shoes though, a pair of brown heels, which I freaking love, for NT399, and a pair of boots, not the furry kind, for about $40+ SGD. This one not cheap luh, but the boots I bought in Hong Kong cost about SGD 48 and lasted me quite long so... I shall trust the price. :)

After shopping, we went for dinner at 胡须张－鲁肉饭. Jung's mama treated us. :) But her mum and siblings were stuck somewhere so they couldn't join us for dinner. Their 鲁肉饭was damn good, plus one bowl was only NT30, but I think the serving size was a bit small so probably two bowls will be fine. Still cheap though. :)

Jung ordered vegetables, 贡丸汤 and some intestines soup. All the dishes were good. :) But I don't think I'll wanna go back, cos some guy at the restaurant had attitude problem, so I'm totally marking down their service. :(

After dinner we sent jung off and walked her to the metro station. Group photo! :)After that we went back to 五分埔, bought tights on the way, cheap with lots of varieties yay. Bought some for yixuan and myself. :P Cos I couldn't resist. Plus it was buy 10 get 1 free and chu and I made siu and melia buy one each so we can get that free one. :P
After that we went back to shop cos either siu or melia needed to get something. Chu followed them and we splitted up, meeting back at Sparta Coffee House. Since I didn't have anymore things to buy, I followed julian and matt, who went to find more food. Came across this stall and we bought 炸杏鲍菇, 炸鸡排and 爆米鸡. :)

After that, we went to Sparta Coffee to sit down. One good thing about restaurants in Taiwan is that you can bring outside food, which was way more convenient for us. We ordered two milk tea and matt bought caramel macchiato. Expensive, but it was nice. And the cup was quite big. :O After finishing our food, matt went back to the stall alone to buy more haha. He said the auntie was like: "Eh? 又是你啊! 好吃吗?" And the auntie was super happy. :D Anyway, we spent the time surfing the web using the portable wi-fi julian brought, eating and drinking until the other three came to meet us. :) Then chu also wanted to buy food, so we went back to the same shop again for her to buy 炸地瓜. Unfortunately the auntie wasn't there anymore. :(
Went home after that. :)

2012-01-10T00:23:00.009+08:00

Day 3 [26.12.2011] - 九份
We took 捷运to台北火车站before changing to火车to瑞芳. The following photo was taken by siu. Unedited. :)
Us on the train, in which the journey cost NT50.

Matt sleeping as usual.

Cos there wasn't any map on where the train was going, we alighted wrongly at 八堵, so all we could do was to take photos while waiting for the next train to come.

We were all holding our breakfast from 85度C. We were sort of behind schedule already and since the drinks were too hot, we had to takeaway. :P

We managed to get on the train and we anyhow sat on the comfortable seats. Apparently they cost more, so we were praying and hoping that no one bought the tickets to those seats yet. Luckily for us, the seats were unoccupied = OURS. :D

Did stupid things on the train, like trying to throw the 暖暖包at the boys but we failed terribly. Chu was posing for photos, in those 古典美人pose. Oh there was a station called 暖暖and we wanted to take photo of it with our 暖暖包but we missed it while siu was setting up the camera. :( The boys slept during the ride. The only non-stupid thing that happened was that melia went to poop in the train toilet, which amused us greatly, though I don't know why. :P And everytime the train door opened, there will be this 'farm' smell and chu will ask:"Ee what's that smell?" and I'll reply:"Maybe it's melia's shit." cos we were sitting just beside the toilet. :P Ah, we are so disgusting.

We had to take 公车from the train station, up the mountain to 九份. The ride was bumpy, but luckily it was short. Unfortunately, it was drizzling when we were there.

We didn't take out our umbrellas cos there were too many people there and it got pretty annoying when water started to drip on you, not from the sky, but from those umbrellas people were holding. Plus some of them were inconsiderate and you just kept getting poked by umbrellas (which was also the reason why we cancelled the plan to go to 基隆庙口夜市after that).
Bought some 冰淇淋铜锣烧 cos they were cute haha. NT30 each.

I bought peppermint chocolate chip, siu got yam and chu got strawberry. :)
After that chu and melia went to find the toilet, so siu and I follow matt and julian to eat 贡丸.

There are five different flavours - ham, sotong, okay I don't remember already. :P
Camwhored a bit. My camwhoring skills are actually not too bad haha. At least this was a successful attempt. The previous photo by matt had half his face cut off. :D

When melia and chu came back , we continued shopping and eating. Chu went to buy 芋圆 and they tasted like 汤圆, except there was a yam taste. Not bad. Small and Q, but I'd totally prefer it if they add fillings inside. :D I bought 臭豆腐, which wasn't very smelly but I had the craving. :P

The colourful yam ballz. :D

Aw I think this photo is so cute. :D And siu looks pretty here. :D
Then it was the phototaking session like a tourist. Six tourists, to be exact. It was raining so we had to open umbrellas and took turns to take photos. Went in pairs - melia and chu, matt and siu, julian and I. :P Total joke.

And we were actually at the same place, except we had to take from different angles so the photos will look like we were at different parts of 九份. :P We made our way down and went to the 观景台to enjoy the scenery. Took a few photos and went to wait for the 公车to take us to金瓜石.

- 金瓜石
Brief introduction of the place: It used to be a gold mine in the past and apparently the Japanese conquered the area and forced prisoners-of-war to work there.

Doing The Matthew Pose. :D

Hahaha this was the pose suggested by melia. How creative! :D And omg look at the bags of 凤梨酥and太阳饼we were holding. :O
We went into some museum which intoduced us to the history of 金瓜石.

The cave in the background was actually a real mining site and you can pay NT50 to go in. But julian went in before already so I stayed outside with him (I wasn't interested in dark holes :/) and we waited for the rest outside the restroom.

Melia trying to lift the bar of gold. Actually with her more-than-Herculean strength, we all know she could've done it. She was just giving chance by not embarrassing the boys. What a pleasant girl. :)

Haha I think this photo is hilarious. Anyway, the Japanese soldier is having a body check on the miner to make sure that he didn't attempt to smuggle out any gold.

Us waiting outside the toilet while the rest went to pee. Siu specifically said we can camwhore using her camera. :P

After that, we took 公车to somewhere near台北车站. The bus ride was super long, about an hour plus. Luckily we boarded early and had seats. There were some people standing when they boarded and when I woke up one hour later, they were standing. :O They alighted at the same stop as us. The bus ride was super bumpy though. I alighted and wanted to puke. Major car sickness. :(

- 景美
Went to the Thai restaurant near our house for dinner. We paid NT280 each for a 8 course dinner. Super worth it cos the food was awesome. :) And the waitress was very nice. :) I don't like Thai milk tea though. Tasted weird... :/ After dinner, we went to 景美老街to shop for the first time. Saw cheap socks so we all spam bought. Not bad, quite a good place to explore. :D
And guess what! We saw Kiwi and Schnee's friends there! BUT WHY SO EXPENSIVE..!!! T^T Yea soon after, we headed home cos I needed to poop. :P

2012-01-09T19:23:00.015+08:00

Day 4 [27.12.2011] - 淡水老街
Woke up early to eat 淡水阿给. Walked super long before we finally reached that place. The initial plan was to go to the 疏园水晶博物馆, but because we've all spent so much (actually just the girls, including me) during the past few days, we are not willing to spend another NT100 for the admission fee. And obviously, no one wanted to wake up early to visit the museum, so... Idea cancelled. :P
The 淡水阿给we bought - 4 with chilli, 4 without. Its basically a piece of tofu where they dug out the inside and the top, stuffed it with 东粉, and covered up the top with fish paste. I don't really like it actually, cos I don't like 东粉, but most of them said it was nice. :) We bought 鱼丸汤and豆浆as well. Their soybean milk tasted weird, but I kinda like it. It tasted organic. :P
While we made our way to 淡水老街, we happened to pass by 淡江高中, which was the location where Jay Chou shot his movie, Secret. The security guard said we can enter and look around, so we did.

Suddenly met this big group of girls, if I'm not wrong they are 美术系的学生, who were super duper hyper and 热情. They started greeting us and talking to us, which made the situation a little awkward. But in the end we still took a photo with them. :)

Oh oh, two of them said 我的腿很细. Yay! *暗爽* And one of them told me to add her on Facebook, but she didn't tell me her name. -.-
Anyway, we continued walking around and took random photos.

Oh this is significant cos they erected the statue on my birthday! :D

There was some information written on a metal board about the above building, and something about this building happened on my birthday too! :D I don't remember what, but I believe they just love 9th March. ;P

All of us doing The Matthew Pose. :D
We continued embarking on our journey after we exited the school. Took random photos on the way. :)

Ah I love my hair colour in this photo. :D

There are a few photos with special effects, taken using siu's camera filters. She took all of them and I didn't edit anything, not even the saturation and contrast. Super awesome. :O

Pretty obvious siu took this. Love it!!

The next three photos were also unedited.

I freaking love these shots!

Anyway, we did our shopping at 淡水老街. Bought the famous 阿婆铁蛋and 鱼酥(but I was blur and I accidentally bought 虾酥instead. -.-). We ended up eating 炭烤章鱼, which was super ex - NT100 but yea very nice, 炸鸡排, 黄金柚子蜂蜜汁, which was one of the best sellers, cost NT60 for a big cup. Really worth it. :) Melia and mattbought Turkish ice cream. Quite nice, tasted like melted marshmallows. :P Chu bought 芝士马铃薯. Not bad, but it was a bit too cheesy for my liking. Someone else bought 酸梅汁and 爱玉柠檬汁. Didn't take a lot of photos by the lake cos that siu was lazy. And I think her camera was dying too.

At about 5PM, we went to the lakeside to watch the sunset. Spammed photos like crazy. It was a really beautiful place for watching a sunset. There were grass patches everywhere, and their grass was the kind similar to carpet grass, not the long ugly kind you see everywhere in Singapore. In addition, it was by the lake (or sea, I'm not sure) and you can see the sun setting until it got hidden by the moutains at the horizon. It's pretty hard to explain that place, so you should just enjoy the photos. :D

The cool trash bins- wood, concrete and grass. :D

The three who wore flannel shirts that day. :)

Elmo with Chu-kie monster. All three are cute. :3

Ahh I love this photo. It's so perfect! :D

Ah I love this as well!

- 师大夜市
After watching the sunset, we made our way to 师大夜市. Julian kept laughing at my 三太子dance. -.- (Actually he laughed at it for the entire trip. I did part of the dance at Bugis that day and he was still amused by it. :O) Anyway, there was a really cheap bookshop selling stationery and all. Bought about 4 notebooks, which cost only NT19 each. Cheap shit. And I bought some cute namecards as well.

We went to queue for 可丽饼, bought the mixed fruit one with peaches, strawberries and bananas plus ice cream, and the bacon flavoured one I think. Very nice. :D Chu and matt went to queue for 生煎包, which was that bad, though not my favourite. Julian bought takoyaki to share. Super cheap compared to Singapore. :O I bought 奶茶and茉莉梅子绿茶, which I ended up giving to chuxi cos she seemed to be the only person who liked jasmine green tea with plum. :O

I swear I need to post this photo cos it was too freaking hilarious. *Points at matt* :D He was going to sneeze. And we were all blaming him for spoiling the photo so we made him take a solo shot with the 可丽饼to compensate for it. :P

Anyway, the other three girls went shopping and I didn't wanna follow cos I'll burn a big hole in my cute rabbit purse. While they went to look for shoes, matt, julian and I went to queue for this famous 卤味, which matt identified as the "shop with two big red lanterns". They picked taukee, straw mushrooms, julian picked duck blood, I think there was taupok (?), and I picked two strands of pig's small intestines and one large intestines. :D So we stood by the shoe shop and ate the NT200-worth of food while waiting for the three slow shoppers. Damn expensive leh, but the serving was huge and it was so damn delicious we all think it was worth it. They ended up throwing away some intestines cos julian and matt said eat too much intestines will cause indigestion. :'( Talk about irony.
Went back home at 9+PM. 古亭站was very near景美anyway. :) Dropped by the fruit stall near the house and we bought bananas - to help us poop duh. ;D

2012-01-09T00:14:00.008+08:00

Day 5 [28.12.2011] - 北投
First destination was to 北投to 泡温泉. As we didn't eat breakfast, our breakfast was settled at 北投's 7-11. I swear, I freaking love Taiwan's 7-11. (1) They have tables and seats for people who wish to eat there. Yea literally a convenient store. (2) They have cute mascots! (3) You get a sticker, which is 1 point, after you spend NT50, which can be accumulated and exchanged for a gift, I think. (4) Clean toilets!!! (5) Free microwaving of food for you. (6) They have the best onigiri ever in all the convenient stores in Taiwan! SO HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE 7-11 MANZ.
Anyway, after breakfast, amelia, chu and siu went to 北投公共露天温泉. I didn't go with them because it was inconvenient, and as a girl, there are certain hygiene issues you need to settle. Ahem yea 'nuff said.
I hung around with matt and julian at 7-11 while they bought more food. Matt is like a pro at buying food wts. After breakfast, we decided to walk around 北投. Super boring leh, we had nothing to do and wanted to go into another 7-11, until we saw this shopping mall cum housing building and there was a stationery shop opened, so we went in.
Awesome shop I tell you. Everything was like cheap cos it was an ulu place. Matt were staring at the comics and he asked the auntie if they only sell chinese ones. -.- Can't believe matt didn't buy anything there. But I bought a lot. Like around 5 cards, the auntie gave me one for free cos we bought a lot, 3 packets of magnets, 8 packets of felt and some memo paper (bought the wrong one D:). Julian bought two styrofoam balls, which cost NT12 each but the auntie kindly sold him at NT10 each cos we bought a lot of things. Nice auntie! :D
Anyway, julian was playing with the balls everyday. He brought one around everywhere we went and played with it when he was bored. -.- And at night he was teaching me how to spin the ball when you throw it and hit the corners of the walls. BOYS WILL BE BOYS.
Met the other three back in the same 7-11 before leaving for 圆山站.

- 敦煌书店
We chose a bookstore to explore cos squadmates wanted to make the trip intellectual. 敦煌sells English books, which I think makes it unique and different from other bookstores in Taiwan.
Didn't buy any books cos matt and siu said the books are not that cheaper compared to the prices in Singapore. Ended up only buying a packet of stickers, for NT40.

- 士林夜市
After that, we headed to 士林. It was still very early as we didn't spend as long as we expected at 敦煌. Luckily for us, most of the food stalls were opened and since it was early, there weren't many people.

We tried 芒果挫冰and 香蕉巧克力挫冰, probably from the same stall we ate from when chu and I went to Taiwan two years ago. Somehow, the price increased from NT70 to NT100, the portions decreased, and they used to give chocolate syrup but not anymore now. :( It was still nice, though I think they weren't worth the price. :/

And I discovered my new favourite Taiwan food - 棺材板. Its like a thick piece of toast, where they dig out the centre and fill it with fillings and closing it with a part of the toast. Tasted like hot-bake, super nice. We bought the 香菇 flavour as well as the 牛肉 one.
Ate the oh-so-famous 炸鸡排 and 臭豆腐, which we bought two servings cos they were so damn delicious. (Thank god there's a stall at Geylang selling smelly tofu, so I can still eat it if I have any craving. :D) Bought 爱玉柠檬汁, which was gross I don't know why, but somehow the Tamsui one tasted wayyyyy nicer. :O

They bought 大肠包小肠, which I don't really like. It's not even 肠lor! Just some sausage wrapped in glutinous rice. What a scam. :P
After dinner was shopping at the night market. As usual, melia, siu and chu went round looking for bags, shoes, clothes and all the same stuff we had been looking at for the past few days. Was pretty tired and bored of the shopping already, so I followed matt and julian to sit down somewhere to eat, and 顺便help the other girls to take care of their belongings and loot. We sat at one shop and bought 粉圆加鲜奶and爱玉粉圆. Ended up listening to the two of them recounting funny stuff and I laughed till I had a stomachache. Matt was telling us how he was shooting Koi pearls down his house cos there were too many pearls. Then his mum saw and asked him what he was doing so he told her. Then she said: "Can I try?" And she did. She ended up trying to shoot one pearl down. Matt was like telling us to imagine the car downstairs. Freaking funny.
Anyway, we bought gelato from the stall next door - strawberry and chocolate chip! :D Very nice, not very cheap, but still cheaper than Singapore's.

Headed home after shopping at Shilin. Played saboteur and slept.

2012-01-07T20:45:00.007+08:00

Day 6 [29.12.2011] - 西门町
Woke up super late that morning, so we postponed the cable car ride. Went directly to Ximending for our buffet lunch.
Siu posing with the cinema with one third of her name. Matt is doing his ~~Mission~~ Matthew Impossible pose. And omg I just realised chuxi is doing the MI pose too. :D *patrick stars*
Unfortunately, the buffet place was super difficult to find. Chu and melia asked around like 10 people and most said different directions. In the end we walked for about half an hour before chuxi finally spotted the buffet place.
天外天火锅自助餐
The place is fabulous. The steamboat was 鸳鸯锅, so we can choose two flavours per pot, and since we had two pots, the four flavours we picked were lemon grass, BBQ, kimchi and tomato soup. They had a lot of ingredients to pick from - seafood (crabs, lobsters, cuttlefish, squid, oysters, clams, baby octopuses, crabmeat sticks, fish paste etc.), pork (small intestines, large intestines, liver), vegetables (button mushrooms, shitake, straw mushrooms, brocolli, cabbage, 'little white veggie' etc.), eggs (chicken and quail), beancurd, taupok, taukee, taugua, and a lot other food which I can't quite remember. :)

There were mainly two kinds of meat - beef and mutton. Beef they had two kinds too. Angus and sirloin I think? Not sure if I got the translation right. The mutton stunk though. Like really smelly (even for someone like me who eats mutton). Almost puked when melia started talking about goat milk. Hate goat milk omg, makes me gag. :O
There was free flow of 台湾啤酒, coffee, tea, yoghurt drink and some apple-carrot yoghurt drink. That was damn good. :D The place provided free tissue and a bin, which they constantly cleared, for us to throw our rubbish. Service was efficient and fast too. :)

After lunch was dessert. They had like ten over types of desserts to choose from - Some hokkaido cheese thingy, chocolate cakes, some cheese cake with rum that siu ate, cream puff, strawberry puff, etc. A LOT. And most tasted sooooo goooood. :O *thumbs up*
Then they had fruits too. I didn't eat any cos I was too full, but I saw dragon fruit, kiwi, watermelon, orange, and I'm pretty sure a lot more which I didn't notice.
After lunch, we had Haagen Dasz (I have a feeling that I spelt it wrong again :/) ice cream. FREE FLOW. I took strawberry, with the berry bits, and the berries one. Super nice I ate two servings. Too bad this is a buffet, so I forced myself to eat another serving heh. Damn nice, so I doubt my stomach will complain. The rest tried chocolate, tiramisu, green tea, cookies and cream, mango sherbet. Eh I think those are all the flavours already. :P
The lunch was freaking SGD 21 only. Wth even Seoul Garden is not as nice and costs almost double. :( Limited to 2 hours, but the people generally won't chase you off after 2 hours. I totally recommend this place. *double thumbs up* But after the buffet we all felt like sleeping and didn't wanna walk. :P
After buffet was shopping at ximending. We dropped by 诚品 and squadmates bought some books. Julian, matt and I were playing with the capsule machine inside the store. Then we went to browse quite a lot of tabloid magazine and gasping at the headlines. Squadmates came out with at least one book each, and we came out with 9 capsules containing flag collarpins. Oh man why are we so unintellectual. Anyway after that, I was desperately trying to find the rabbit pouch in ximending after I gave it up at Tamsui, but shops that sold the rabbit pouch were scams cos they were double Tamsui's price. :(
In the end all of us were quite bored with ximending cos everything was just too expensive. I think they commercialized the place too much. :( We ended up splitting to two places - chu, melia and siu went to 师大夜市, julian, matt and I went to 淡水老街.

- 淡水老街
We said we will meet back at the house downstairs at 9.30PM. And since Tamsui was freaking far away from Ximen (I LOL at the station name every single time), the train ride was kinda tiring. Cos we had limited time left, we had the most efficient shopping ever. Consideration time was minimised, and we actually got EVERYTHING we planned to buy within one hour or so. Oh man, I love shopping with the boys! Plus they helped me to settle the sling bag I wanted to buy for my bro. In the end matt bought two armadillo bags (navy blue and black) plus a small white 'durian' pouch while julian bought one navy blue armadillo bag for NT390 each. (Ximending was selling similar ones for NT1400+!) I bought a black sling bag for my bro at NT200, a purple casual bag for my mum, surprisingly good quality one, for NT200, and a retro looking bag for NT299. Total we had a discount of NT19 -.- Ah better than nothing luh. Then I got my rabbit pouch at NT120, all of us bought more socks, two friendship bands, surname keychains for my cousins, pouches for my mum and ah ma (which are not very cheap. I either bought it cos I was possessed, or out of sheer desperation). We managed to get the 铁蛋 which melia 托我们买, and we went into this um, funny shop. ;D

In the end julian kept rushing us cos we were gonna be late, which explained the highly efficient shopping. After shopping, julian wanted to pee, so we ended up going into a shop to buy 粉圆豆花just to use their toilet. -.- Woah but the shop owner had the blackest face I ever saw in Taiwan. :O 吓死我了. When julian came out of the toilet and checked his watch again, he realised that he read the time wrongly and we had one more hour. So yea, we took our time to eat that one bowl of beancurd.

Then we decided that we should just make our way back to the house cos we had nothing much to do already, plus we were quite tired, but most importantly, we all wanted to shit. :P
Oh no my fringe was so screwed. Cui max.

And yep, we reached like 30 mins earlier and luckily the keys were with julian so we all went up to poop. Chu, melia and siu reached home safely and on time. Oh they went to 台北车站to shop too.

- 景美老街
Dinner was settled near the house. We were all still pretty full from the buffet lunch so we didn't eat proper meals. Ended up buying 山猪肉串, 山猪香肠, 大肠面线(Wth this reminds me, matt went to buy this without the 大肠, then he came back with a bowl of cheap 面线, for the same price -.-), 月亮虾饼, 臭豆腐and 粉条奶茶. 粉条was for free cos the auntie was closing shop already. :D I freaking love the 老街man! Cheap and good. The food was insanely good. (Y)

Back to the house and had to turn in early so we could wake up in time for the cable car ride at Maokong.

2012-01-07T19:48:00.005+08:00

Day 7 [30.12.2011] - 猫空缆车
Matt came into the room carrying his armadillo bag and was bouncing around, making the "shing1! shing1!" sound. Super hilarious and childish haha!
As we woke up late on day 6, we couldn't make it in time to travel to Maokong to take the cable car, so we postponed it to day 7 instead. It was drizzling slightly when we left house. Went to the Family Mart near our house to buy our breakfast. Bought onigiri, which came in a set with Lipton milk tea. Milk tea was nice but the onigiri was disappointing. :(
Anyway, we took the metro to 动物园站. On the way, siu went to steal matt's 'durian' pouch, which he bought from Tamsui the previous day. And we told him we didn't see it and that he probably lost it. Seriously ah, squadmates + julian should win some oscar or something! They totally didn't 笑场at all. I was like trying to control my laughter by staring at the map the whole time. Pretty obvious but matt is a nub and didn't realised. They only returned him on this LRT-like train, which is actually part of Taipei's metro system. Melia's attempt failed terribly, but it was still super funny. And matt didn't suspect anything. He initially thought we were pranking him (yup he was right), but he brushed off that thought cos we were all so serious haha. ;D
Oh I forgot to mention, he actually stuffed the 'durian' with 5 packets of tissue to make it 'pong3'. -.- Why are boys always doing this kind of pointless things...
Anyway, back to the cable car ride, it was NT 100 for two-way ride to the highest point. There were NT 60 and NT 80 as well.

I think I'm scared of cable cars. :( But I like this photo. :D

We reached the top and alighted to take photos. There were shops on the hilltop, but we didn't shop because it was still drizzling, plus we were kinda tired (accumulated lack of sleep) and it was freezing. I think it was the wind. :O

Haha we all have different ways of sticking out our tongue, except that julian and siu tsk, 不合作.

Yup so we bought our ticket for the ride down (NT50 per trip), and guess what! One of the tickets had 几米's illustration! Hai I should've kept it and spend another NT50 for another ticket. The drawings were from his book 《地下铁》I think. :) So pretty!

The cable car trip was a cool experience, though it was a bit boring cos the sceneries were pretty much the same - forests - plus it was drizzling so the windows weren't very clear. But we sang songs on the way down. So fun. :D
By the time we got down, everyone was hungry already, so we ate at McDonald's. Taiwan's macs like quite ex leh. We bought some set meals anyway. And omg, they only have one type of sauce, sweet-n-sour, and you need to pay NT5 for it. :O You get it for free if you buy nuggets though.

And they have this thing called McCrispy. It basically mac's version of KFC haha. Nicer though. :P
On the way to the metro station, I tripped up the stair and hit my knee against the edge of the step, hence resulted in the bruise I posted earlier. :P

- 景美

After that we went back to the house, packed our stuff and cleaned up the house. Went to the 锅贴shop again for dinner, then we dropped by a nearby shoe shop, where matt and I bought some Everlast shoes. Uber cheap. And squadmates played with a kid. Super funny lah. Kids are actually cute, if they are well-behaved. :) Went to 景美老街for the third time to change siu's clothes, change my shoes, and buy shoes for melia's mum.
Went back, met julian's aunt, played two rounds of saboteur and we headed to the airport when the van came. Most of us fell asleep I think. Too tired already.

- 桃园国际机场
Mad rush to the toilet, queued for check-in of lugguages and went to walk around. Nothing much though cos most of the airport was under renovation. We went to the waiting area to slack. Julian and matt played chinese chess wth. Super boring haha. I was on Facebook cos I had nothing to do and the rest were reading books/ magazine.
We got restless when the flight was delayed and started crapping lame jokes about checking in matt's 'durian' pouch. LOLed like mad. ;D

Day 8 [312.2011] - 新加坡樟宜机场
It was already 12+AM when the plane left Taoyuan International Airport.
Julian wasn't allocated the seat he chose but the kind man beside us offered to change with julian. :) The taking off part was gross as usual. When the plane finally stabilized, I ate the onigiri which I bought from 7-11 (yea I bought another two) while julian and matt played chess again. -.- I went to sleep after I ate so I have no idea when their game ended, but when I woke up, we were reaching Singapore already.
The stupid bio-whatever passport make me got stuck at the gate. So embarrassing. I had to walk to some counter to get my fingerprint re-scanned and I exited through another special door. We went to collect our lugguages while matt and melia bought liquor. Then I went to find my dad, who was the only person who came to fetch me home.
Slept at like 6+AM near 7AM. :O But I ended up waking at 1+ near 2PM woots. :P
Yup that's it! The end of the trip! :D

2012-01-05T22:26:00.001+08:00

Aw friends. No more entertaining things for you all to read. Cos my mum said CANNOT.
Sorry loyal readers - like Tay, Cong, Jung and Siu. :'( Wanna chat talk to me on fb heehee. :)
But 现在什么年代了lor, not as conservative as that of the past. It's a liberal society now! Since I have no life, I now officially declare that I have nothing to blog about. Goodnight.

2012-01-05T10:52:00.001+08:00

Here's an update. I talked to so many people last night. And like 3 this morning.
Last night's was pretty decent. Except this guy from USA. He said he's 18/m/usa. Okay I shall attempt to type out the conversation. I didn't save it duh. Save and waste my comp space for what.
After all the blah blah introduction.
Him: Hey wanna suck my dick?
Me: Not really
Him: Then want me to lick your p***y? (okay he typed it out but I'm not comfortable with typing this on my blog.)
Me: you want to travel half the globe just to do that?
Him: I'll gladly do that for you ;)
Me: No thanks.
Him: wanna see a handsome boy?
Him: (me)
Me: lol ego max.
Him: lol here's my facebook. Add me. (inserts his fb account URL)
Me: Give me a moment. (checks out his profile.)
(WTH HE ONLY HAS 4 PHOTOS AND ALL ARE OF HIM. IN SUNGLASSES.-.-)
Him: I won't just give you a moment. I'll give you all the time I have ;)
Me: you don't look 18
Him: you are right, I'm 16. (wth??)
Me: you don't look 16 either. You look older.
Him: no kidding. But I am really 16!
Me: okay whatever.
Him: you are so mean!
Me: what? I didn't even do anything.
Him: you checked my profile but you didn't add me on fb
Me: I don't add strangers on fb.
Him: why!
Me: cos I'm not interested?
Him: you are being mean again!
Me: but you sound perverted.
Him: no, I'm actually a very sensitive, lovely (WTF) guy, who believes in love!
Me: yea okay. I'm so convinced.
Him: really! Believe me.
Me: yea okay.
Him: but you still didn't add me as friend!
Him: you know what my name means in Hindi?
Me: no. What?
Him: a hair on someone's dick
Me: WTF
Him: (then he said something to scold me but I don't remember.)
Me: bad name
Me: and it suits you
Me: bye egoistic pervert
End of conversation.
Damn sick right. But I guess that's the fun of it all. It's not like you're ever gonna meet him or web cam him so it's pretty safe. :) And there are nice people too. Like this 14/m/uk. He was telling me how he aims to go to S.A.S. Some army thingy like Call of Duty. That was what he said luh. And this guy from Paris. Nice to talk to. :) Like it was proper and all that. :) And this guy from uk. The conver was rated, but not perverted.
Oh oh another epic one this morning.
Me: hi
Him: hi
Me: asl? (age sex location)
Him: 1st u?
Me: (assuming that he wants me to say first -.-) 19 f Singapore
Him: you like Indians?
Me: neutral I guess?
Him: r u spicy?
And I was like what kind of question is that? I mean hot = spicy applies to tastes but not for people right! I was like super turned off already.
Me: no.
Me: and you are weird.
Me: bye.
And another Virginia guy why is bored and horny. I think he expected me to like webcam him and have a strip show or something when he told me he was horny. But I told him to go watch porn. Then he logged off. Haha oops.
Okay the end. But I made one Canadian female friend this morning. Super decent yay! :)
Wah such a long pointless post again.
I'm a kuku. I have no life.

2012-01-04T18:51:00.002+08:00

K this is so lame. I was on 9gag and people kept posting screenshots from some omegle website, so I went to google it and ta-da! I was chatting with some stranger. Okay lah this one is not very exciting...

Haha damn fun. Reminds me of IMVU. I used to have an account, in my old comp but we sent it for resetting so its gone. I don't really wanna install cos it made the comp quite slow. :( But it was fun! Cos you get to buy nice clothes and change your room settings. :P
Okay so now while I'm typing this, I'm talking to some 18 year old guy from India. WHO IS WATCHING PORN NOW WTF (but okay I believe he's just trolling -.-) He was like: oh do you watch porn, and I said no, and he asked me if I was Indian. And I was like wth he's judging me like all Indian girls don't watch porn. Then he said he was from India and I'm like ohhh. Oops.
Okay he's getting on my nerves. He asked me what's my boob size. I said he doesn't have to know. Then he said he likes big boobs. So now, I'm imagining some 18 year old horny man from India, watching porn and ogling at boobs. Wow. He wants me to go to India. Okay his english is weird, I don't quite understand what he's saying. -.- Oh wow he keeps saying he loves me.
Okay omg this is damn fun. So entertaining. I'm wondering how many people out there have no life like me. :d
I shall blog again when I talk to someone interesting, though I highly doubt that will happen...

2012-01-03T12:17:00.002+08:00

I wanted to blog about our Taiwan trip, because melia and siu both uploaded the photos on Facebook already, but... I think melia forgot to upload some of the photos, so I don't have photos for day 5 onwards, since at some places siu didn't take photos.
Yep, so I shall blog about yesterday instead. :) Went for movie with julian at Tampines Mall. Sherlock Holmes. There aren't many decent movies now. I was considering watching We Bought A Zoo, but I watched He's Just Not That Into You (yes, again) on Saturday and I kinda hated Scarlett Johansson for her role in it. And you know how girls like to associate one drama with another... Yea, that was why I striked We Bought A Zoo out.

No regrets, cos Sherlock Holmes was great! Who cares about CSI when we have Holmes haha. He like super talented omg. And I finally got an answer to the question: "If you can have any type of super power, which would it be?" ;D He's all-rounded. :)
[SPOILER ALERT] I actually cried. Because julian said Holmes died. Yea I cried when he died (Ooh it rhymes!). But turned out he survived woohoo! :D So I cried for nothing. But still, I like how objects/people were used recurringly in the entire movie. Like how Watson was narrating at the start and at the end of the movie, the needle Holmes gave Watson for his wedding gift, the personal oxygen mask, the camouflaging abilities etc. :)
Yay. :D
I was in the mood for another movie when I got home. Not in the mood to cry, so no Titanic, The Notebook and Dear John.
The Proposal was okay... Not enough love between the two. And I thought something more exciting will happen after they bumped into each other naked. Bleh. And they only kissed passionately once wth. -.- The ending was pretty abrupt, oh well, it was nonetheless fun to watch. A lot of funny parts haha. :)

And both Bullock and Reynolds are HOT woots. I love Hollywood.
Interior design course starts tonight! Wish me luck. :P

2012-01-01T12:06:00.001+08:00

Hm I kinda regret shortening the trip... I'd rather stay there a few more days slacking at home than coming back and getting annoyed by people at home. :/ I doubt the first day of 2012 is gonna be fun, so I'm really looking forward to tomorrow - watching movie with Julian. :)
Sigh. I don't really want my bruise to subside. I tripped and fell on the stairs at Maokong. It's getting blacker by the day, but it's like a 'souvenir' from Taiwan. It keeps reminding me of our Taipei trip, which distracts me from all the annoying things that happened. If you get what I mean. ><
Please stay for as long as possible...

2012-01-01T01:43:00.002+08:00

Okay omg back from the Taiwan trip. It was great. First time in my life having a holiday overseas without following a tour group. And this first time is shared with my closest friends, which made the whole experience a lot more unforgettable. :')
I'll blog about it when amelia starts uploading her photos. Siu is very fast though haha. I promise a detailed post after I get my hands on all the pictures. :)
At the mean time... HAPPY 2012!I spent 1st Jan at home. We were at my dad's badminton friend's house but we decided to leave early cos we were all so bored and they were showing a slide show of their trip to Yunnan. *jaws drop* I don't quite care you know. :/
And then we came home before the clock struck 12. No countdown. I was just on Facebook looking at the Taiwan photos siu posted, and reminiscing the wonderful memories in Taipei. :)
I'm not quite a person who believes in new year resolutions, but maybe I'll end up making a list. A private one. I don't think there's a need to show the world how you're planning to change and stuff. It'll just be another year. New experiences, new environment. No more school, no more student concession soon. I just hope for the best in 2012. :)

New year's eve was spent at Taoyuan International Airport. Our flight was delayed, so we were at the waiting area cracking dumb jokes about checking in matt's porcupine bag (stuffed with 5 packets of tissue), hitting one anothers' knees to make them jerk, watch matt and julian's ~~boring~~ game of chinese chess etc.
The flight was predominantly sleeping. The took off part was horrible. I was grabbing onto julian for my dear life. I really hate the taking off part. :( After the plane stabilized, I went to eat my fantuan from Taiwan's 7-11. Delicious max. I'm gonna miss it... :'( I still have one last fantuan left in my fridge. :( Then the rest of the flight was sleeping. Luckily julian was sitting beside me. I was leaning/lying on him throughout.
Reached home, washed up and went to bed at about 6+AM nearing 7AM. I was missing my friends a lot and I sort of cried myself to sleep... Ended up waking up at 1+PM, and I only got out of bed at 2PM. Did a little bit of unpacking, gave my family members the presents I bought for them. It actually feels less guilty spending my own money for shopping. My mum loved the things I got her yay. :)
Dinner was with my dad's badminton friends. Nice dinner, but bad company. My bro and I were bored to death and we were like draining our phones' batt to entertain ourselves.

Yea, and that's about how I spent the last day of 2011. Pretty boring hur. I want my friends!!!

2011-12-24T11:12:00.002+08:00

Chuxi is a joke.
(I think you need to click the picture to see what she sent in her email. ;D)

2011-12-23T20:29:00.001+08:00

Anyway, this happened yesterday.
Me: Would you rather be good in art or good in studies? (obviously I'm an art person so I won't give him the options of being good in sports and music.)
Bro: I'd rather be like you. Good in art and good in studies.
Me: WTSHIT I SUCK AT STUDYING PLEASE!! I'm like failing everything. Maybe I won't even get in uni.
Bro: No but you're still smart. Cos you are in top schools.
Me: Eee wth but like that doesn't mean I'm smart what.
Bro: If I wanna be smart then I want to be one of the best. Like top few in Singapore. If not I'd rather be good in art.
Me: Okay...
Hm. Yea. Somehow my whole family (paternal and maternal sides) is good in studies. RI, RGS, HCI, NYGH. I swear its really stressful to be born into this family. Honestly speaking, luckily I'm not too bad in art, if not I'll really kill myself from embarrassment. :(
We are having dinner now, at some teochew restaurant to celebrate my Nai nai's birthday. They are all talking about uni application and courses now. Awkward much. :/ I don't even know what to say when all of them took SATs and applied to various US and UK universities. I'm just like sitting here, praying that I can get into the humble NTU's ADM... :/
Gah I can't wait for this to end. Bored max!

2011-12-21T11:24:00.003+08:00

Haha tay jiayuin wants me to blog now because she's bored. Yesterday was the karaoke session, which was at some ulu part of Chinatown at tendollarclub. Freaking worth it though. 10 bucks per person, with two tiny bowls of primary school tidbits (-.-) and free flow of drinks! And booking the room for... 5 hours? If I'm not wrong. :)

Pretty comfy actually. And the place was kinda dark... So dark room + flash = living room. It looks totally like someone's house haha. :O
But yes overall it was fun. And kinda tiring omg. :)
(Shit I'm not in the blogging mood.)
----------------------------------------------------
Anyway, let's do the "10 things that annoy me" post. Not like anyone cares but forgive me, I'M BORED. I actually took some time to come up with this list. Alright, here goes, in no particular order.

1) People who do not let passengers in the train to alight first.
Not trying to be a model citizen here, but this really annoys me. I mean come on, not like the train door is gonna close on you right... Ugh. Usually I just pretend they are transparent and I'll just walk towards the direction I want, bump into them, and pretend nothing happened.

2) Smokers.
I don't care who it is. As long as you smoke, NOT COOL. Even if you are Adele. And if you wanna smoke, please do it legally. Innocent people inhaling all the second-hand smoke is purely disgusting.

3) Ah bengs and ah lians.

No offence, though I know there are nice bengs and lians out there. :) But in most cases, I really think they are super childish. I don't know how to describe this, but I really don't get how posing with middle fingers make you cool. Call me traditional/ conservative, but don't all girls like civilised, sophisticated boys? Mature and classy (I don't know if classy can be used to describe boys haha but yea, you get the idea), but bengs seem to be the total opposite. Skinny jeans are cool if you look like Zac Efron, but if you're a scrawny looking boy in skinnies, ugh. I think that's why lians exist to give bengs some company. :/

4) Not flushing the toilet.

What's so difficult about it, other than maybe the inner struggle to save water. I think it's not too bad if your pee is of the colour of water. But if it looks like lemon tea, please please just flush. :(

5) Doing everything to attract attention.

I have some people in mind, not gonna name them.

6) When objects are not parellel to the table edge.

Gonna do some explaining here. For example, as I am typing this post using the laptop, I always make sure that the laptop is parallel to the edge of the table. Haha I don't know why I'm like that but it really annoys me when things are slanted. Like how I will shift my house's coffee table to make it parallel to the tiles on the floor. And I used to shift my table (and my partner's - Sharlene's) halfway during lesson because they don't align. She'll say me luh, but yea haha it's okay. :P Oh! Same case when I play monodeal. My properties are all aligned and my bank will be perpendicular to my properties oops.

7) People sitting on my bed.

Oh I really don't like this, especially if the person hasn't bathed, and unless I want that person to be on my bed. I hate it when my bro's pillows drop onto my bed (Yes we still sleep beside each other). In sec 3 when I went to Shanghai for global classroom programme, amelia will come to our room (sharing a room with pooh) every night to chat and do random stuff. And I kept asking her to go away when she sits on my bed haha. :P

8) People koping my stuff.
I just feel annoyed when I was the one who found those content or came up with the idea but someone decides to come along and 'borrow' the idea. :( I'll be okay with it if I'm using Tumblr or Twitter, since the essence of those websites is to reblog or retweet.

9) Accidentally folding the paper against the edge of the table when your hand is pressing on it.

Okay it's pretty hard to describe this, but sometimes when you're writing something on the top of the page and the other half of the paper is dangling outside, and your hand leans against the edge of the table and bam! Your paper has a fold line. It's super annoying.

10) My brother.

Sometimes luh haha. I can't think of anything else at the moment, plus he just annoyed me while we were cooking lunch. No wonder my mum wants to send him to student care haha.

Okay actually there are a lot more things that annoy me. I mean, how can someone be annoyed by only ten things/people inculsive. But this is the list at the moment haha. Oh okay I thought of more while typing this but it's okay! This list is fine. :) Okay bye! :)

2011-12-21T02:11:00.001+08:00

This is a reminder for me to blog tomorrow.
- karaoke session (OMG THIS SOUNDS SO OBIANG but yea it wasn't at kbox so I can't use the term "kbox")
- 10 things that annoy me

2011-12-16T20:29:00.003+08:00

Chuxi just inspired me to blog haha.

It is so fun to chat with some people on Facebook. They are naturally funny and totally deserve the Patrick Star award (yea I'm still harping on it) *looks at tay and gao*.

You know what, after the Urbandic talk, I think we shouldn't call each other by our surnames, except Tay and Sim lah. ;D

This morning I went to send manlee off with yoke, tingwei, fiona, manchia, chingyi, isaac and weelynn. Late like nobody's business and I can't believe I missed almost every transport I took urgh. -.- I didn't wanna wake up cos I slept late making her this:

Actually only the pink keychain. I sort of finished making the cover quite some time ago, just that I didn't give it to her. And I gave her a yellow lego ring. :)

I'm talking to chuxi now on Facebook. It feels good. To rant. :)

AT THE SAME TIME, STALKING SOME PEOPLE. Actually it's only one. Chu is right. We should be thankful for all the technology around us.

Oh yes, chuxi was saying that she prefers guys wearing an unbuttoned shirt and showing the abs compared to a totally topless guy. She said that resembles the process of a man stripping and I was like wtf so I said I prefer just the topless dude. Then she said I like the "aftermath of stripping". True true. 直接来就可以了嘛! :D

Sigh I love these people. Who can talk so sickly and frankly about stuff like these other than with squadmates. :') Next time when I go to strippers bar I must invite chu and tay along. And cong. To take photos hahaha.

BLAH I'M SO TEMPTED TO POST EXAMPLES OF WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT BUT TAY WILL KILL ME. I think. As for the private photo... ME NO WANNA SHARE. :)

Okay I will probably blog again tomorrow after the toy making workshop. And omg time to send christmas cards soon!

2011-12-16T00:47:00.002+08:00

Manlee flying home tomorrow, and I'm chionging her present now. :P I was browsing through Facebook. People are still in the Abercrombie &Fitch frenzy. Like how today was their official opening and they are giving away polaroids (OMG?). Eek I'm jealous as hell. BUT I NEED TO KEEP REMINDING MYSELF THAT I HAVE SO MANY PHOTOS ALREADY. Yes yes I am contented. -Zen-

I realised I forgot to post this photo in the previous previous post. So sexy right. I happened to get all the good looking guys some more. :P (See, I am lucky.) And um, I STILL HAVE MY PRIVATE PHOTO. Yay. Okay I'm not jealous anymore.

Go, go, go back to your countries, my fellow Fitch boys! *waves*

Off to sew~

Oh yes, have a safe trip! To amanda lee and tay jiayuin. I'll stalk tay's cousin tomorrow haha. ;)

2011-12-15T14:05:00.003+08:00

Anyway, this tweet is one of the top tweets for trending topic: A&F.

"Girls, stop expecting your guys to look like A&F models. You look like Victoria's Secret model meh?" - by FakeVJC

Question is, you mean there are girls out there who complain that their boyfriends don't look like A&F models ar? :O I mean yea... abs/ muscles are plus points, but it doesn't really matter right... There's a difference between eye candies and who you like. I wouldn't want to date an eye candy just because he looks good. Hanging out with them would be fine, but when it comes to dating, there's more than just the looks.
I don't know about other girls, but I think girls don't think of wanting to have sex with a super hot looking guy. BUT GUYS... You all get horny when you see sexy girls right. So don't complain about the A&F models haha. I was just browsing through Twitter that day and I saw tweets like: "A&F models are only skinny boys with muscles what" Something like that. Obviously coming from a BOY. I love tweets like these. I get the kick from reading such tweets from jealous little boys around Singapore. *claps in delight*

Anyway, why would you wanna date an A&F model when he goes round hugging, kissing and carrying unknown girls from all around the world? I'd rather KEEP MY BOYFRIEND TO MYSELF heehee. :)

Just sayin'~ ^^

2011-12-15T13:12:00.005+08:00

Alright, here's the exciting post promised earlier. Actually it's not that exciting already since I've already uploaded them on Facebook and a lot of people have seen these photos last night. Nonetheless, here are the nicer photos so um, enjoy! :)Did I mention tay jiayuin is a lucky shit. She didn't even ask for it and she got these (two of the cutest) models doing this to her. Best part is, after the photo, the right dude kept talking to her, and the left one turned to talk to his other fellow model WITHOUT LETTING GO OF TAY. He only let go when tay decided to walk out of his arms. *bliss* Haha. It's totally 'Photo of the day' worthy. Probably the most commented and most liked and the one that made most girls (and maybe boys) jealous in the entire photo album. :)

Yay! :)

Cong's favourite is the tall blonde/brunette guy. I don't dare to post the other photos cos I'm scared she'll be angry, so uh, this is one photo she took with tay.

Oh here comes the best part for me. I thick-skinnedly went up to the model to ask if he could carry me, cos he was like one of the nicest/ hottest/ tallest. Um but I asked him because he was really nice luh (so probably the lower chances of getting rejected :P). Good news is, he didn't reject me, and I swear he was super super nice. Bad news is, he was the tallest so when he whipped me up, I sort of screamed a little before stilfling it, cos you know... It's embarrassing when you ask someone to carry you, you expected to be carried up, and you still scream... -.- Yea... But the photo was good, me like~!
He is one of my favourite models. :D

I posted this photo because I look good in it. Haha oops. But yes, I'm super satisfied with how I look in this photo. :P

Okay yea, I got a little addicted to asking them to carry me... This was the third time. I didn't post the second one because, the dude looks like he's gonna drop me and like I was damn heavy (BUT IT WAS OBVIOUSLY OTHERWISE). Tsk I'm not that heavy lor. :'( I'm sure these mods (or rather, bods) have carried people who are heavier than me, or when they were training and stuff... This whole chunk of text is pointless. All I wanted to say is, I AM NOT HEAVY FULLSTOP. ><"

Okay, last photo of the album.

Other photos are on Facebook. Go and see, but for my friends only. (I can totally understand if you wanna add me as friend on fb just to see hot guys tyvm.)
After that cong, tay and I just went to taka to sit down and chat. Damn tiring. And warm. :O Oh no no, we went to buy ice cream first, cos yea, very warm. Talked for quite long before heading home. Yay fun day! :)
Met nice people there, like the two girls who were damn cute and shy. :D But there were annoying girls there too, the two girls who were openly flirting with the models and ended up hindering others from taking photos. >:(
THANK YOU GUO HUICONG FOR BEING SO NICE AND TAKING PHOTOS FOR US!
I don't know if she really didn't wanna take or she was just shy, but regardless, she was squeezing with us among the crowd to take photos of us with all the models.
THANK YOU TAY JIAYUIN FOR HAVING A HOT COUSIN!
Heehee tay is super duper lucky. Her cousin is super cute (just like her). Anyway, she was asking us to vote for her cousin on Facebook last night for some SIM pageant. Then I asked her if his cousin wins, can he take a topless shot for us. In the end he got second for the voting part so I said he should still thank his supporters, especially since we all don't even know who he is. AND GUESS WHAT, TAY BEING NICE WENT TO ASK HIM AND HIM BEING NICE SENT HER HIS TOPLESS PHOTO WOOHOO. Yep that was how I talked the whole of last night. Chatting about hot guys till 3+am. -.- But yay it was fun too. :)
I missed out an important part, her cousin is a potential A&F model. He went through all the training already, but not of age yet. Can you believe it, I got a private photo of a to-be A&F model haha.
Haiyo why is everyone so lucky. Fiona has a bro who is an A&F model, and tay has a cousin who is a potential A&F model. :O
But I'm still happy. From last night hahahahahaha.

2011-12-14T19:11:00.005+08:00

Went out with cong and jiayuin today and they complained that I haven't been blogging so... This shall be a condensed post on everything that happened so far. :)
I made a list in my previous previous post:

- Post-A's crap
Thursday after A's ended was pure shitty. My mum scolded me for something (which I don't really wanna say here), apparently reported to her by my aunt, who was told by my cousin. I was feeling super pissed off. Kinda felt betrayed cos my cousin got me into trouble.

- Chinatown shopping
I must say I really love chinatown. It has everything! And most are reasonably priced. :) Went there with siu only cos jung and pooh pangseh-ed. But in the end both of us got everything we needed. Spent about $100 on lace, buttons, rings, felting wool, felting needles, suede cords, feathers... That's about all I remember. But I am very satisfied haha. :)

- Ikea shopping + Tampines One date
Went to Ikea with my family. Fun, as usual. :) Ordered like 10 meatballs for lunch, but I didn't eat all. Ended up spending $100++ haha cos my dad went to take a lot of artificial flowers which he thought cost 2+ bucks but it ended up costing 6+ bucks each. :D Bought wooden framed mirrors and photo frames to draw on. :D
Went to the library alone to kill time while waiting for julian. Dated at Tampines One. Nothing much luh, but it was really relaxing, since before A's all our dates were mug dates. :(

- Blogshop preparation
Woohoo. Things are going smooth I guess. Gonna try to settle everything before going to Taiwan. *hopes for the best*.

- Julian coming to my house today
LOL we tried the Liese thingy and julian said it was fun. -.- Boys. Anyway, we cooked lunch, which took less than half an hour heehee. And lunch tasted great.
Ta-da! Cream pasta with all the unknown spices, and butter scallops. :)

- Taiwan trip
Everything is fine too. We are left with a few more things to settle, like packing list, travel insurance, and money I think. :)

- Sleepover at Julian's house (Saturday to Sunday)
Watched New Year's Eve with miranda and julian. So nice!!! It's like super heartwarming, and it makes you feel that the world is a beautiful place. :D Anyway, this was also the first movie that I went to the restroom halfway through. -.- We smuggled Cup Walker in, so I was drinking the drink until I needed to pee. And I felt so uncomfortable I couldn't take it and I stumbled my way out, which I think made the two strangers quite annoyed. :(
When I came back I was kinda embarrassed to squeeze my way to my seats, and I didn't bring my phone, so I just went to sit at a random seat on the other side, along the alse. In the end, I saw julian trying to walk out, I think to look for me and I quickly grabbed him so he watched the rest of the movie with me. :P
I teared. After so long. :')
Window shopped at Tampines One before heading to julian's house. Watched some Indian movie - 3 Idiots with his parents. Super funny. Me like. :D Then we watched julian try out nathan's blazer, played saboteur, monodeal, and went to sleep at 4am.

- Marina Bay Sands (Sunday)
Woke up early for calligraphy lesson.
Afternoon was MBS, cos my aunt booked a room there. Pretty hotel... :)
View from the 7th floor.

...But I swear the pool was overrated. Nothing much luh. It was super cold, and noisy cos of the kids. Nice view, but... yea. That's all haha. :/

The other photos were so unglam I don't wanna post. :(

- Operation Smile toy making workshop (Saturday)
Went there like half an hour late (I'M SORRY IT WAS MY FAULT :( ) but we managed to finish it before other people, so we kinda left early haha. :P
It was fun! And I think my toy was quite pretty. :)

Yay so nice and girly! This saturday I shall make a christmas soft toy haha. :)
Lacy nails which I used real mesh and I stained it black using black nail polish. Quite easy and fast to do, but not very practical...

It turned out not bad though. :)

- Prom - Stardust (Monday)
Went to pooh's house on monday morning to help squadmates with their nails. Siu's nails were blue with white flowers, very hawaiian-like. Melia's were pink with white flowers and french tip, plus some glitter. Pooh's nails were blue with glitter and a light blue flower for each hand. Chu's nails were turquoise, Cath Kidston inspired, roses on index fingers, white french tip for thumbs and polka-dotted for the rest. :) No photos though, cos I was rushing like mad.

My nails! Blingz haha. Me like~

And my made-from-scratch clutch. Material fees cost about $11. (~$3 for the dark red cloth, $6 for lace, $1.50 for foam. A little black felt, cardboard, white glue, super glue, black velcro and thread, which I already have at home so I didn't need to buy those. :)) Took me 7+ hours to make it. :O

Prom was kinda boring though. I was totally not in the mood to take photos, so I didn't take a single photo with my camera, even though I brought it there. I only took pictures when people came to ask me. ><
I koped all of these from facebook haha. Only took the decent ones - And by 'decent' I meant my face.

Ambassadress! :D

And jianwei's probably-expensive-suit.

Food wasn't bad, and I sat at the table the whole night to eat. I think I ate back my $88 worth of food. Yay my prom was so budget. :)

- Sleepover at yingyun's house (Monday to Tuesday)
Took at cab back after prom ended to save on midnight surcharge. :O Then we basically gossiped till 3+am and went to sleep. Macs for breakfast by pooh's mum. Thank you auntie! :)
Came home and slept for like another 3+ hours. Tired max.

Today was another semi-tiring day. But it was worth it~ ;D NEXT POST WILL BE EXCITING~ ;D Wait for it...~ ^^

2011-12-09T20:19:00.001+08:00

Ugh my life is boring like shit. I don't wanna blog anymore. I want to go and see those modelzzzz. Boohoohoo. This is what I call eye candies haha. THE BABY IS SHO LUCKYYY. Society should do this more often. Karma for the guys who keep staring at almost-naked women, IT'S OUR TURN NAO!
Me wanna touch those abzzz. Sorry Julian. >< Yay bye.

2011-12-08T00:22:00.001+08:00

Okay omg I haven't blogged for a week. But now I'm gonna sleep, so this is a reminder for me to blog about these tomorrow:
- Post-A's crap
- Chinatown shopping
- Ikea shopping + Tampines One date
- Blogshop preparation
- Julian coming to my house today (haha actually this is quite lame, but today was eventful so I need to blog about this.)
- Taiwan trip!
Yep that's about it. Woohoo my hair smells nice~~!

2011-12-01T17:10:00.001+08:00

Shouldn't I be happy since A levels ended today?

2011-11-30T00:11:00.003+08:00

Some squadmates told me to upload photos of my potential prom dresses. Here they are. I like them cos they are simple. :) But hopefully I'll look good in at least one of them. *prays*
Sensual toga in fuchsia from lovebonito. :) Zianna is super pretty. (*^^*)
And this is from vanillalollies.

If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to receive both by the end of this week. :)
I'm thinking of making/ sewing my own clutch so I can save money. It'll be fun~ :) But I need to make a trip to Chinatown to get my supplies first. Can't wait for Fridayyyyy!

Ah and maybe I should DIY some accessories. :) And omg DIY prom nails!

DECEMBER 2011 WILL BE SOOOO FUNNNN! :D

Btw, my brother picked RI. Whatever.

2011-11-29T23:52:00.000+08:00

This is like the sweetest thing I've seen. Everything is so perfect. :') And notice how blissful the couple looked. :')
Makes me wanna be a wedding planner... :')

2011-11-27T22:58:00.002+08:00

Hahaha shit I have two prom dresses. One from lovebonito, another from vanillalollies. Oops. I was being kiasu and went to order both, in case one of them is out of stock. Unfortunately (or rather, fortunately), both are available haha.
Oops okay. Hopefully both fits. If one doesn't, I'm willing to sell it! Calling out to last-minute prom dress shoppers out there haha. ;D
Post the photos another day. :)

2011-11-26T13:20:00.001+08:00

For the past year I've been longing to go overseas with you.
So that's it I guess.

2011-11-25T23:04:00.002+08:00

Dear friends, please give me some opinions on which prom dress I should settle for. I am currently quite poor so I can only afford those not so expensive ones haha. I personally like the first one - navy toga, but I like the second and third one too (which are the same, except they are in different colours), but I'm not too sure if they are formal enough (THAT'S WHY YOUR OPINIONS ARE IMPORTANT!). My mum likes the last one. Available in red too.
Please please help me to decide... (*^^*)
Thank you and bye!

2011-11-25T19:12:00.001+08:00

This is the yellow hairband I made. Haha I promised Yoke Ting I'll post the photos, so here they are! :D
Oh I made a blue one also, but I'm not done with it yet. :P

2011-11-24T20:15:00.001+08:00

Omg! My brother is a piece of smart shit. PSLE results were released today. My mum said he got 265 +2. A for English, the rest A*. I think his languages are badddd. But this also means that his math and science are damn good. Like high A*s omg. :O
I should boil him and drink the essence. Or maybe eat his brain. Why is he so smart huh!
I underestimated him when I reached home just now.
Me: Hey, did your friends do well?
Him: Yea.
Me: Oh that's good. So are you like the top 10 in the school? (At that time I only knew the top in mbs was 268.)
Him: I'm second.
Me: *stunned*
For a moment I was so proud to have such a clever brother haha.
Okay that's all. My cousin is persuading him to choose RI (pft). But obviously I'm for Hwa Chong, since I picked ny over rg last time. Then my mum told me to let him decide on his own. HE BETTER DON'T LET ME DOWN HMPH.
Oh well, life's good. I sleep beside a smart ass every night. Maybe diffusion will grant me the title of 'Top A level student' next year. (bullshit)
Here's his smart face:

2011-11-24T08:57:00.001+08:00

Actually I didn't want to blog about this, but its bothering me a lot.
There are times when you feel awkward with a certain person. Not in a big group, but in a small company. Like you feel weird with person A but somehow person B doesn't seem to notice, and all you can do is just accept whatever that happens.

Sometimes when you feel like taking a step back to see if others will take the initiative to move forward, you don't get the results you want. Like when you say "no it's okay", you just want the other person to insist on it. It's not whether you want it or not, but whether you actually do it.

When you're feeling sad and crying yourself to sleep doesn't solve the problem, there's a need to do something more drastic. I may have promised never to do it, but when there are times like this, I need to release whatever bottled-up feelings I have.

Crying or being sad don't necessarily mean you're blaming someone. Instead, most of the time you're blaming yourself.

When you want something badly, you will do everything you can, including making a lot of sacrifices, just to get it. No other reasons should get in the way.

I've probably posted this before, but every girl wants that attention, because we are all self-conscious creatures.

If you have negative comments to say to a girl, I suggest you keep your mouth shut. When a girl dresses up and takes measures to make herself more beautiful, it's not to impress the boy she likes, but to avoid all the ugly things insensitive boys will say. You don't know how much your words will impact her life.

I'll post something happier tomorrow. I'm sorry for this upsetting post. Please don't comment or talk to me about it, because I'm blogging to make me feel better. I'm fine already. :)

2011-11-20T17:43:00.001+08:00

Haha okay Yoketing said I didn't blog, so here's a quick post.
Tomorrow is probably the worst combination of exams for the entire A levels. But then again, after tomorrow is pseudo-liberation (according to Jiemin on twitter). Can't wait! :)
I kept eating chocolates when I'm bored of studying, so I think I will end up gaining some weight... ><
Anyway, I finished two hairbands already but I only took pictures of the pink one. How is it? :) (Sorry the colours are a bit off due to the editing.)

2011-11-15T23:11:00.001+08:00

All the best for tomorrow. :)

2011-11-11T21:25:00.001+08:00

Yay the teacher started math earlier by three minutes today, so we were done before 11.11AM.
I managed to make a wish, which is very very important to me, so I really want it to come true... :)

2011-11-09T18:42:00.001+08:00

General paper and biology today.
The first paper was... Um, a bit forced. I wasn't in the essay writing mood so it seemed like I was trying to hard to crap out an essay... :/
Comprehension was fine though. I love the passage. It's so pleasant it makes me kind of want to visit a city park. I don't know why Matt said it was boring. :O At least the passage didn't bombard us with big words and talked about history, wars... That kind of topics. Pretty straightforward. :) And I was totally in the mood. The cousin words came to me quite instantly so I felt good haha. (But whether I get all the answers right is another story.)
Biology was like how biology always is. I just hope that the bell curve theory will save my ass.
Anyway, I saw the CPE today. Okay only luh. No seh, so disappoint pft. Unlike Mrs Foo, She has some kind of aura lor. :P
Okay shall start revising math soon. I feel a lot more relaxed than yesterday. ><

2011-11-08T16:53:00.001+08:00

I don't know how I should feel now. The paper was quite hard I think, except question 4, so I don't really have confidence that I can do well for it. Chem is probably screwed, unless papers one and two are very very easy which is unlikely. :(
I know I shouldn't be thinking about it cos it's over and I can't do much about it anyway, but how can I not be upset, it's like freaking A levels.
While we were waiting for 2 o'clock just now, I was still in the state of disbelief, that the actual A level paper was right in front of me.
Now I'm on the way home. Still upset, but feeling slightly better cos I bought Mr Bean just now. The auntie and the guy who served me were very friendly and smiley. It kinda made my day more bearable. :)
Tomorrow is terrible though. I should really prepare myself well tonight. Looking forward to the end of tomorrow. :)

2011-11-07T22:11:00.001+08:00

Shit shit I'm really freaking out now. :( I'm not confident at all luh. Everytime I thought I did okay, the results I get back are like crap.
Please please, I don't need all As or Bs, just enough to get me into NTU. I've planned my future already, I really don't want to screw it up now. :(
*keeping my fingers crossed, wishing at 11:11, finding a penny/ dandelion/ four-leaf clover* :'/

2011-11-07T20:57:00.001+08:00

OMG it's tomorrow!
All the best everyone! :D

2011-11-06T23:54:00.001+08:00

Oops. Just realized I said "in case" six times in the previous post.
#sosingaporean

2011-11-06T23:52:00.001+08:00

I went to pack an exam pack just now. Pretty lame. And unglam too. Maybe I'll end up using for one day and dump it the next because it is actually quite embarrassing. :O
Anyway, I dumped quite a lot of things inside.
• Panadol original & extra - In case I get a splitting headache and can't think
• Hair clips - Self-explanatory
• Batteries - In case my calculators get too nervous and pass out
• NRIC
• Entry proof
• Stationery - Pens, pencils, erasers, protractors, ruler, etc. (At least two of each in case people wanna borrow)
• Tissue - In case the venue gets cold and my nose starts to run
• Calculators - Yea I can fit the scientific ones in
I asked my mum if I should put plasters in case I get paper cuts from flipping the test papers. She said I'm exaggerating. Then she suggested me bringing Bao Zhai pills, in case I want to laosai halfway through. *Touch wood*.
So far that's it. Can't blame me for being kiasu, the last major exam I took was PSLE.
And the main cause of embarrassment of my exam pack? It's a mooncake box.
(From Goodwood Park Hotel, if this even helps to redeem itself. ><)

2011-11-04T23:48:00.001+08:00

It's late at night and I feel like blogging. Somehow I become super reflective at night, and I think about stuff until I fall asleep. Pretty sure I'm not the only one.
Sigh. This afternoon I was telling Julian that I want to sit alone in a cafe, drink a hot drink on a cold morning, paint the scenery on my canvas and watch people pass by. That's life for me. Alternatively, sitting in a cafe while it's raining outside is fine too. I appreciate the time I spend alone. It gives me the opportunity to seek meaning in everything I do now.
I swear I can't wait for this period to be over. It's frustrating. :(
Anyway, while I was walking home from the bus stop just now, it dawned on me that maybe I'm not so into getting married. Why do people need to get married to show that they love each other? If love is bound by commitments, then it wouldn't be called true love anymore right... Also, serious relationships need not be supplemented with marriage. Maybe it is just a formality that can actually be eliminated. If one day, love between two people cease to exist, a married couple will definitely suffer more than a couple in a relationship. Material and non-material aspects. Money, effort, assets... Somehow there's also some sort of 'portfolio'. Compare between a person who has divorced 5 times and one who broke up 5 times. People talk. As much as one can say that what others think is not important, we have to acknowledge that this is how our society functions and the people around us are judgmental.
Maybe I should just cut off my thoughts here. It's beginning to make me fear marriage, though it's meant to be something happy. :/
Oh well, I'll probably think of this when I'm older. On the bright side, maybe no one will even propose to me, so save me the trouble of worrying so much haha. :P

2011-11-03T13:14:00.003+08:00

This is ridiculous I know. Less than one week left to A's and we were out having sushi buffet at Sakae. :) Cong, here's proof that we really went to eat. :P

It was a last-minute decision for Julian and I cos we went to school to study yesterday and we happened to meet Jung, so she invited us. In the end we were short of money so Julian had to borrow from his dad.

Anyway, the three of us went to meet Matt and Jiayuin at Park Mall's Sakae. To cut the story short, it was super fun. And funny.

Photo of the day:
Matt's face was epic. LOL-ed like crazy hahaha!
Other than spamming sushi, we were talking crap as well, then someone (I believe its Jiayuin), who started this who sick conversation *ahem*. But it was really damn hilarious, :D which unfortunately made me spit out sushi and I almost choked on my drink.
Then we started playing with the ~~gross~~ peas that Jung was eating. Heh Jung and Jiayuin so cute. :3

Anyway, this is what happens when the camera is in my hands... ;)
Julian's photo is not counted luh, cos Matt took it. :D
Yea then Matt went to sleep while we ate more food. Tsk tsk. And he woke up in time for dessert! :)

Came home with a super big stomach haha. I can totally imagine the amount of sushi inside. And its the first time I ate two servings of chawanmushi. :D Nom nom. I shall find some food to eat now.

2011-11-01T10:53:00.001+08:00

Omigosh I can't believe I'm sharing this but I think I'm falling in love with Justin Bieber. I know, gag all you want, but I swear he was freaking hot in Mistletoe music video (especially the kissing part oooh). The only sad this is that the girl isn't Selena Gomez. :( But its okay! The girl looked a lot like Gomez anyway. :)
GAHH I LOVE THE SONG!!! :D

And I love Jelena whee! :)

2011-10-31T21:49:00.001+08:00

Went to Mos Burger at Orchard Central to study today. Apparently it wasn't as ulu as we thought because we met quite a lot of familiar people there, but it was secluded enough to ensure that we weren't chased out during peak periods. :)
Jiayuin and Matt bumped into us. But they only sat down to gossip, drink their clam chowder and ate lunch. Pigs luh the two of them. :P After that they went to Coffee Bean to mug so we ate lunch and continued to study.
Hey you know what, I'm so bored blogging about my day I'm just gonna stop here.
Oh here's a picture of the creamer making a nice pattern on the ice of my iced milk tea. :)

2011-10-31T09:25:00.001+08:00

I'm getting old (as I grow up). I wanted to blog about these but I forgot.
1) THANK YOU NATHAN for the gong cha treat. He earned money from betting on soccer tsk. Then again, I'm not complaining~ :P
2) I don't think I will buy clothes from lilypirates anymore. Somehow both dresses from them fell slightly short of my expectations so I'm a little disappointed. :( Their service is good though. :) Thus, I'm probably gonna end up buy from lovebonito. Fast delivery, and the three pieces of clothing I got from them were quite satisfactory. :)
3) I still don't like LJS. Their food is super fried. Enough said. :(

Yay I don't think I missed out anything this time. :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!

2011-10-30T22:03:00.001+08:00

Just watched 27 Dresses on channel 5. And I so need to blog about this. 2008 film, but I watched it in 2011. It was great!
Sigh. I want my life to be like that too. Excluding the part where the sister got engaged with her crush. And change the ending to her marrying her boss. ;D
Jeraldine and I were swooning over George and Kevin on twitter just now haha. Kevin's hot. But I like George a lot more. :D_ (<-- That is drool.)
Edward Burns. Go google him. I don't want to post his photos here because it makes me feel like I'm an... Oldermalephile. Okay I'm sure there's a proper word for this but I can't be bothered to check so whatever.
*off to wiki*
*back* And omg he's 42. If I didn't mentally calculate wrongly. And he's married. :( But his wife is so pretty! :D Maybe I should go back to liking Justin Bieber, or Zac Efron, or Jonas Brothers... *gags*
Anyway, I did my nails while I watched the movie so... Yay me! :)

2011-10-30T17:32:00.001+08:00

I'm growing up.
I used to love Teenage and Teens. Then I moved on to Seventeen. Now I'm reading Cosmopolitan.
But that also means that I'll probably start spending more, since cosmo costs $5 while the others cost $3. :/ Bought the first issue today, Singapore edition. Hopefully it'll be as good as the US'. I saw the US version at Giant yesterday, for a freaking 10+ bucks! Which I obviously can't afford to indulge in. T^T
Today for $5, I got a fedora from Cotton on plus good service. :) Actually Julian got it for me, and I was supposed to buy the guy one for him but the white sands branch ran out of stock so tomorrow we will drop by bishan to get it. :)
Yay I'm happy. And quite tired, so I shall rest early since I'm going to school tomorrow. ><

2011-10-30T10:27:00.001+08:00

Haven't blogged for quite some time already. I'm on my way to tuition. Last session. :O
After tuition I'm gonna exchange my instant win tab for mcflurry :D Actually it's matthew's but he didn't want so he gave it to me. :D
Went grocery shopping with my family last night at Giant. I love grocery shopping omg. The auntiness in me. Bought quite a lot of organic oat bran, flax seeds and all those healthy stuff. Gonna start my healthy diet from tomorrow onwards. :P
I'm not gonna upload the photos of my ah ma's present cos we didn't go to her house yesterday. My cousin had to study for her EOYs. So the celebration is postponed to the Saturday after the first week of A levels. :O
Maybe I'll blog again tonight. :)

2011-10-26T22:49:00.001+08:00

Yay I finished sewing my ah ma's birthday present. :) Shall wait till Saturday before uploading the pictures.
Anyway, I checked my email just now. Finally! Lilypirates just mailed my first date dress on Monday, which means i get it anytime soon! Excited~
I just realized I forgot to blog about a new addition to the family. He's called Leetle Kebean. Haha too lazy to name him and since he looks exactly like Kebean, Leetle (little) Kebean is fine. :3
Anyway, I was watching the 9 o'clock show just now and I tweeted that I love Ann Kok. Apparently her fan club retweeted my tweet. How did they find me ah...? Sian I still don't really know how Twitter works leh... :(
I aim to be productive tomorrow. ><

2011-10-26T18:38:00.001+08:00

WTF I'm so bored. I hate this period of my life. Seriously. I can't wait for the next phase of my life to start.
I was using the comp for mugging, then my dad interrupted halfway to settle his stuff, then my bro, to play those lame comp games. And then my mum took it to watch her Korean drama. -.-
Can't wait for next year, when I get my own computer and I'll be staying in the dorm. Spare me from all these nonsense.
Sorry I just needed to rant.

2011-10-26T10:28:00.001+08:00

Hahaha I saw this on twitter yesterday:
T.G.I.F. = Tomorrow Got Indian Festival
So now, it should be Today Got Indian Festival. :D
HAPPY DEEPAVALI!

2011-10-23T21:31:00.001+08:00

Just now while I was slacking after dinner, I went to read xiaxue's blog. Idk why but I can't read her blog on my phone, so I had to use the comp. :( Anyway, I suddenly decided to search for her wedding blog post and I saw the ROM one. Oh. Em. Gee. She's so pretty! And her husband looks really cute with her. :)
Makes me wanna get married. And I'm going to get married everyday (with the same guy lah duh. What are you thinking goonduheads) until I get sick of getting married. ;D
Haha wait till I have money then say. Unless I have sponsors for my wedding, like xiaxue, but haha fat hope. :P
I feel so crappy now. And I don't wanna go to school tomorrow. :(
Oh I hope xiaxue will have kids with mike. I wanna see how they look like. :P Sure damn cute. I feel guilty saying this cos I don't wanna have kids so I can only admire other people's children. Like my cousin haha. I reject my ah ma every time she makes me carry my cousin. I kept telling her: "wah mai seng kia lah".
Last time I was talking to Julian about how I don't plan to give birth next time. If (I said IF) next time I end up marrying him we probably won't have kids. I know, it is damn wasted, cos our children will be awesome (lalala we have good genes) - like good voice, arty farty, cute face, and dang good at kicking balls. :D omg and super hairy. Eeyer. Okay no more kids.
Wts I'm like super buay paiseh today idk why. Tsk such a long post of me bullshitting.
GREAT 16 DAYS TO A LEVELS and I'm thinking about my future instead of studying... Damn if I don't mug I won't have a future anymore. :P
(The photo below is so romantic~~)

2011-10-22T21:46:00.001+08:00

Happy Graduation Day!
Yesterday was fun. Though I feel really guilty cos we sort of slacked the whole day, playing Monopoly Deal and watching Julian, Matthew and Daniel play Chinese chess (haha I'm tempted to type pcc but nevermind. The guys are damn sick lah omg) and animal chess.
Grad night for Artemis and Apollo. It was actually quite boring, but it was fun to see your friends graduate and to watch all the class montages. :)
Didn't specially take a lot of photos cos I was already very tired when grad night ended, so I only have that few pathetic photos from my phone. >< Nevermind luh, cos Jiemin posted a lot of nicer photos on facebook so it compensates my laziness. :P
Oh, and the hwa chong bear is cuter than the nanyang bear. ;)

2011-10-20T22:03:00.001+08:00

We all have that one person in our lives who is a frienemy...
:/

2011-10-18T22:53:00.001+08:00

Lalala I feel like blogging now (before I start on my last econs essay for the night. Ugh so pathetic.). Anyway, I have a new favorite song - Who Says by Selena Gomez.
Who says?
Who says you're not perfect?
Who says you're not worth it?
Who says you're the only one that's hurting?
Trust me,
That's the price of beauty.
Who says you're not pretty?
Who says you're not beautiful?
Who says?

Whoo hoo so nice. :) I heard it at Mos Burger that day and used my oh-so-pro app to find out that song. :) *feels proud* The song kinda reflected what was going through in my mind early this year. Thinking about it, I really don't wanna be anybody else. Cos I'm lucky to be me. :)
"I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me."

Ah tomorrow. 17 months and counting. <3 Imma lucky shit. (Yes I'm in a good mood today.) :D

I swear anyone who sees this will begin to suspect that rubberduckieinmybathtub is actually a porn website. IT IS NOT so don't worry.
Anyway, I've been quite addicted to photos like these. Before you start calling me a perv, listen to me first.
I got these off an app, called funnypix or something. Ironically, most pictures weren't funny at all. -.- But there were a lot of artistic photos. And I mean artistic, not porn. There's a difference okay! These photos are like "look, we are making love!" and NOT "oh yeah! We are having sex." Totally two different concepts.
Its like it's different when you say you're "nude" and you're "naked". ;) This reminds me. Mr Lim used to tell us that art is an excuse to watch porn. Hahaha true... But still, porn is... Um. Cheap...? But art is PRICELESS. Omg this is so cheesy. Whatever luh you get the point. :)
Anyway, don't call me a pervert and report me to the police or whatever. Just enjoy these artistic shots. :) ahah I actually have more in my phone. Coloured ones though. I'll upload next time. :)
P.S. I honestly think they are artistic, abstract, and very romantic. :P With a tinge of sexiness and exuding some form of mysteriousness... Hm. <3

I'm bored on the mrt so I shall blog. :P
Anyway, I'm very proud of the fern photo I uploaded previously. I've edited that photo like three times using three different iPhone apps. Melia should feel honored. And that's like the chioest fern I've ever seen in my life. :)
This is the original (actually it has gone through one round of editing already:

Yesterday Cong sent me this:
"Heyhey guess what pteridophyta is!"
The first thought I had was: fear of petri dishes. I don't know why petri dishes but that was how I inferred the word. Then I realized there was no -phobia. So I replied: sexually attracted to petri dishes. Apparently I was wrong. If not it'll be like petriphile or something. :P
So it's a scientific name. *Smashes my head for not thinking of it* Biology has failed me. Right, so here's a clue:

I love love love this song. And I absolutely love this cover wayyyyy more than the original. The music video is meaningful though. I cried.

Ah someone tell me where to download this cover!!! I've watched it like ten over times already haha. Love Andrew Garcia and Joseph Vincent! #youtubetalents. :)

2011-10-09T18:24:00.001+08:00

I did my mum's nails yesterday. It's this owl design that I've always wanted to try but my nails are too small. It turned out pretty cute, except my mum kept complaining that she's too old for cutesy nails.
Went to Giant just now and I bought back mars bars so I decided to try making fried mars bars. Though they were quite ugly, but it was SUCCESSFUL! :D Yum yum I feel like making more but I think if I eat some more my pimples will start popping out. :/
Just did something which hopefully I won't regret later in life. The feeling is so surreal. I FEEL LIKE BARBIE. ;)
Shopping with my mum at Bugis tomorrow. Excited~ :)

Dear Steve Jobs,
Rest in peace. <3
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. — Steve Jobs
I will keep this in mind. :')

I'm so not looking forward to tomorrow. :( Getting back GP paper 1, and there's a super high chance of me failing GP. That is like from B to S/U. :'( I don't even know what happened to paper 2. It was totally unexpected. I can only pray hard I'll do well for compo, but it's highly unlikely because I didn't feel like a wrote the compo well after the test.
Anyway, I spent the past three days sewing to kill time. I know I should be studying...
Oh well, here's a preview of my ah mah's birthday present:

2011-10-01T21:53:00.001+08:00

I just saw this on twitter. It's kinda sad, but words of wisdom, most things the guy said are true. :'/ (Sorry it's kinda long, but I'll appreciate if you all can take some time to read it. It's meaningful. :) )

**Goodbye Letter From Boy to Girl**
Dear Girlfriend,
Sometimes we come into a persons life not to make them love us, but to make them feel that they're so much worth loving for. And trust me you are worth loving, you’re worth caring for and adoring because you’re simply beautiful. Some romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They’re shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they’re gone. They aren’t meant to last. Even though at that moment they feel so right. I know you might feel that, “If I lose this person, I will never be able to love again.” This is never true, ever. Love is so powerful, so intense, it always finds a way to be reborn. And I know its hard to believe and you’ll beg to differ but the hardest part about loving you was understanding that I didn't make you as happy as you made me. And that because I loved you so much I had to let you go so you could find that person that truly makes you happy. Yeah thats the part that hurts the most. But its true. Love isn’t living in constant anxiety or worry. Love is physically being there with someone, taking their pain away, giving them your smile. People who say long distance relationships can survive are idiots. Yes, they do for a while but after that things change. Only very rarely is it seen that a long distance relationship turns into something permanent. And falling in love with someone you’ve never met isn’t viable either, I think it’s the most frustrating thing that can happen to a person. It’s like two people taking their clothes off and not doing a single thing. A very bad example but that’s what popped into my head. It's not you, I'm weird with relationships. I think I know what I want, and then I run. I think I run because I'm scared; I'm scared that I might get hurt. Or maybe I just haven't found someone who I know is worth being hurt for. But you're an amazing girl. Any guy would be lucky to have you. I just don't know if you're what I really want, I don't know if I want you just because I’m lonely, and if that's the case then it's completely unfair to you. I need to get my life together. I think it's about time for that. I can't keep living from day to day. I need to find out what it is that I want, and right now a relationship just isn't it. Don’t be heartbroken, and trust me you’ll forget about this in time, I`ve been there, it gets better. That pain in the pit of your stomach, that pain in your heart, it goes away. That voice in your head saying there`s no way out. It's wrong, believe me, it gets better. I figured out lately that life is too short for playing games, for fooling around with someones feelings and not only short, its unpredictable, you don’t know whats going to happen the next moment so live this one to the fullest, make the best of it, don’t be in an unsure state over things and waste time crying over somebody when you could use that minute laughing with someone else. I know you say I’ve been distant but always put yourself in the other person's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too. And trust me right now I’m hurting, not because of you, but because of the situation I’m in and also because of you, I was lying before. You hurt me, I know you think its all my fault but its never just one persons fault, we both made mistakes, they piled up and in the end became a load of bullshit, a mess that cant be dealt with. Love, is just exposing your vulnerabilities to someone, giving them the power to hurt you but trusting them not to do it, we both kind of exploited that. Hurt each other in different ways, intentionally or unintentionally. But you should always remember that there is a purpose for these things to be happening to us. Maybe it was preparing us for the person who will come into our lives next. Maybe they are the one for us or maybe they aren’t. Maybe you have to still go through another 10 guys to get to him, but get to him you will and when you do, that will be love. Then you will look back on today and this letter and think, “He was right, we weren’t in love, we were just two people trying to be together.” Always remember that love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, and to those who still love even though they've been hurt before and getting hurt is inevitable. You have to get hurt. That’s how you learn. The strongest people out there, the ones who laugh the hardest with a genuine smile, those are the people who have fought the toughest battles. Because they’ve decided that they’re not going to let anything hold them down, they’re showing the world who's the boss. And I’m quoting Nicholas Sparks right now because this is as true as it gets - A guy out there was meant to be the love of your life, your best friend, your soul mate, the one you can tell your dreams to. He’ll brush the hair out of your eyes. Send you flowers when you least expect it. He’ll stare at you during the movies, even though he paid $8 to see it. He’ll call to say goodnight or just cause he is missing you. He’ll look in your eyes and tell you, you’re the most beautiful girl in the world, and for the first time in your life, you’ll believe it.
I’m not that guy, I’m just someone who helped you on the journey to him, each time you remember me and remember what we had, before breaking down and crying, also remember, what we had is over..For a reason and you’re one step closer, to him. I would like to think I never did those things, or never said that to you. But the truth is, I did and that's apart of me. I make mistakes, and I know who I am because of them. I lost you because of it, but to lose you meant to gain myself. I'm movin' on. At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me. And I know there are no guarantees, but I'm not alone. There comes a time in everyone's life when all you can see are the years passing by. And I have made up my mind that those days are gone. I’m going to find myself. And find that girl who will make me want to commit, make me want to laugh always and smile and make me feel alive. But right now, I don’t feel there’s anyone out there for me, It’s me, myself and I. I plan to enjoy the solitude, to go on long walks, to fix my life, to get it back together and to cherish our memories, for now. The love you have given me is immense and I’m glad I met you. But now I know that we aren’t meant to be together. I wish the best for you. Thank you, for being there, for being my best friend. Thank you for loving me.
Yours,
Boyfriend.

Watched Johnny English Reborn with Julian, his mum and his sis after tuition today. It was quite funny luh, though I didn't really laugh out loud. :) Mrs Lim sent me back just now, which still makes me feel bad, so I conclude this shall be the last movie she's treating me. Ugh idk how to describe my feeling now. Stressed is the best word I can think of at the moment. :d
It's okay I shall go to sleep after sewing a bit. I'm tired... Oh and I didn't manage to get my black nail art polish from Daiso today. :( But I got nice strings, zips and felt today so I'm still happy. :) And we bought 10 tako balls at Plaza Sing today. :P

2011-09-29T20:41:00.001+08:00

Ha ha ha. You call this gender equality when guys can see half of women's boobs and we can't even peek at the teeny weeny bit of naked skin around your pelvic bone -.- Yes I'm referring to the controversy of Abercrombie & Fitch ad.
Are Singaporeans getting a tad too conservative, probably with all the uncles and aunties around...? >:( Aish I'm so annoyed. It's not like the man was naked or what, they didn't even show any part of his dick (sorry about my language). And all you disgusting perverted ah peks/ uncles only go round staring at women's assets wtf.
I mean wts is wrong with this ad (you see far more 'dirty' stuff on tv). Freaking hot model bod free for you to see, extra large some more, and you people are complaining ugh.
For guys who complained, you must be jealous of his hot model body. For those girls, aye you all must either be uninterested in boys, or maybe you just prefer those scrawny looking bengs (I'm generalizing) on the streets. -.-
Enjoy the peek-tures! Pun intended. :)

2011-09-29T20:25:00.001+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! :D
And my bro had his first paper today. I'm such a nice sister lah. I made encouragement notes for him. One for each day. :)

2011-09-27T23:28:00.001+08:00

Let me just do a quick post on my cousin's 满月 last Saturday. It was damn fun. The last time I attended such an event was... 11 years ago omg. Okay photos below. Shan't blog too much about it, an attempt to keep my posts less wordy. :)
(Want more photos go to my Facebook to see.)

2011-09-27T22:52:00.001+08:00

Woohoo yea I love squadmates and my friends!
:D Today was fun. Went to Bugis to buy our bags cos julian's bag is serious cui ttm. Went to Iluma but the bags were off our budget, so we decided to go to Bugis Street to find. Oh btw the grass patch outside Iluma is damn nice. I want that in my house next time. :P
Bugis Street is great, although I still can't deny that it's a lian/ beng place. But there are actually great lobangs there. Nice un-lian stuff that are cheap! And going on a weekday is a good idea. No crowd, plus they just renovated the place so the second floor (where all the better stuff are) onwards were air-conditioned and comfortable.
Found our bags and got them way below our budget. The aunty was nice too. And my bag is still red cos other colors were ugly. Except blue, which I convinced Julian to get cos he wanted black again. -.- then I went to buy two tops. Aiyur I couldn't resist. I was supposed to save money so I actually didn't bring out the $20 that my dad gave me this morning. Ended up borrowing $10 from Julian to buy my clothes. Saw another top which I liked a lot but I'm broke. :( Another day luh, fate will let us meet again. :)
Met yoke, amanda lee and wann. Haha last night manlee messaged me, and asked if I wanna go Bugis with them. So coincidental. :D Oh yea, DID YAL FIND THE NICE NICE SHOP AH! :)
Saw Emily on our way out. :) And julian saw his classmates too aish Singapore is really so small.
I tried on the tops just now. Nice nice! I swear I'm going there to spend my moolah again.
Okay the end. Today was a happy day. :) I'm sorry my posts are getting wordier...
Ah I just realized I didn't blog about my cousin's first month. Next post!

2011-09-26T23:07:00.001+08:00

Wooh prelims officially ended. Actually it felt like it had already ended on Friday (which implies that I didn't do much studying over the weekends).
Today was so fun! It's been such a long time since we've gone out as a squad together, especially with sqdms that aren't usually present. :)
Went to Chinatown with chu and jiayuin after bio paper to meet Daniel. Then we (actually only chu and I) went to buy cloth and other random things like buttons. Julian came to meet us and we went to Central for lunch at Burger King. Aiyur that BK shots was a total scam. Whatever luh. Anyway, Matt came over to meet us and I gave him the other half of the bun cos the chicken was too spicy. Went to 313's HMV to window shop and met the rest of the sqdms-who-wanted-to-run-at-cardio-room-but-it-was-closed.
Julian and I left to go to H&M again to look for our bags. Must be fate, that we didn't get to find the blue one, and there were only two black ones left. :( After that some squadmates went to watch Johnny English, so it was left with Cong, hong, Julian and I. Went to Kinokuniya at Ngee Ann City to kill the two hours.
Shopped for nail polish after those movie-watching peeps came out. Bought 5 bottles of nail polish oops. :P Dinner was at Pasta Mania. The seafood thingy I ate was damn nice but I can't believe I forgot the name... Nevermind.
Yup then we went to scape to buy chocolates for ___ ;) and randomly looked around in two stores then we left.
Ah I'm really tired now but I'm lying on the sofa while I'm blogging. So comfortable. :) shall bathe and sleep asap. Tomorrow is the bag hunt! Good luck to us. :D
Oh I was arranging my nail polish just now. And I realized I have 20 bottles, after throwing away 4 bottles. :P (Don't bother zooming in luh. I'm not rich so my polish are all lousy brands. And the colors are a bit off cos I edited the saturation heh.)

2011-09-25T00:48:00.001+08:00

Hey friends, please comment and tell me your blog URL (if you still update your blog regularly). I want to add to my bloglist. :)

Squadmates especially! :) Thank you!

2011-09-25T00:19:00.006+08:00

Give me 10 minutes. I'll EC two people and then I'll go to bed. :P

Was watching Joseph Vincent's Bumble Bee music video just now, woohoo he's so cute. And freaking talented. I love his voice. :)

I paused halfway during his video to get this screenshot. But I was listening to the song okay! I've heard it a million times already. Actually he sort of resembles Ryanhiga. Whatever lah, both of them have Asian blood. I LIKE.
Omg omg see his thick and sexy... EYEBROWS. Don't be dirty. Anyway, they reminded me of my fangirling days, over Mingdao and Ethan Ruan. ;)
Ah sexy smile...~

I'm like falling in love with Katy Perry all over again. I swear she's the most good looking lady in the world. I don't care if she looks hideous without make up. You haters are just jealous tsk tsk. :) Yay. Oh and Katy is not only pretty, she's smokin' hawt luhhhhh.
She's like a doll. :O

I didn't know she voiced Smurfette in Smurfs! So mayyyybeeeee I'll consider watching cos of her. Voice. Whatever. It's the same. :)
She looks better with black hair hm. Oh me god her dress is super cute. :D
And she has the most beautiful eyes. Love the colour! :)

I wanna look like her in my next life. Maybe I should start doing more good things. :P Hey actually I've thought about who I want to look like if I have the choice, but currently I don't remember leh. I only remember Avril Lavigne. Yea she's damn cool I'll appreciate it if I can look like her haha.

Sorry for this pointless post. Goodnight. :)

2011-09-22T22:37:00.001+08:00

Darn math. I was clearly more confident in math than any other subject but the paper just had to ruin it.
Enough said.
I came back home feeling so bored and slightly upset and i have no idea how I got that ta-da idea - to modify my old My Melody cover so it will look new. And yep I did it! Spent the afternoon doing it, and my mum didn't even scold me for not studying. It cheered me up quite a lot. :)
I wanted to do some photo tutorial thingy but I wasn't quite sure how to go about doing it during the process so I gave up on this whole tutorial idea.
Anyway, I used polka dotted cloth, which I bought from Chinatown earlier to sew my post-A pouch. And it was supposed to be empty but it looked kinda boring so I used my navy blue cloth to cut out the Apple logo. Actually I haven't stuck the ribbon yet... Hm.
Here's the final product:
(I'm so pleased with myself, so I have to dramatize the photo a little.)

2011-09-21T22:36:00.001+08:00

I stopped doing math already. A little bored. I was watching 你在囧甚麼 on channel u. They were talking about things that teenagers cannot live without.
1) Phone
2) Laptop/ computer
3) Money
Okay no disputes about these haha.
Anyway, they were told to compare which is more important to them. Let me try doing.
- Money vs Freedom
I will choose money. Because... With money I get freedom? Then I won't need to go to school or work and still have money to do whatever I want. :)
- Freedom vs Kinship
I will choose kinship? I'm super dependent so total freedom is not my thing.
- Kinship vs Love
Love. Because the barrier between my lover (how come it sounds weird to use the word "lover") and I is definitely lesser than that with my family. And my family members tend to piss me off more than Julian does...?
- Friendship vs Love
Okay I have a lot to say about this. I'm choosing love. Your lover has to be your best friend. So it's like a 2-in-1 thing. I read this from a comprehension in secondary school: 朋友只是生命中的過客. As you go through every phase of your life, your friends change. It's quite impossible for someone to be with you through preschool to college and then university. But your lover is different. He will be the one that walks together with you for the rest of your life. Of course, you can say that one tends to get hurt more Investing in love than friendship, like 陷得越深，就傷得越重. That's true, but the returns you get from falling in love is far more fulfilling. Anyway, 愛情 does not necessarily refer to the relationship you share with your significant other right... :) So, yes, I'm pro-love (if there's even such a term).
Oh well, I think I'll rather get dumped by my boyfriend than get betrayed by my friend, so the risks involved are lesser in falling in love than in maintaining a friendship. I'm generalizing this statement luh, not meant to specifically target anyone.

Okay that's it. I keep blogging now cos it's so darn convenient!
Alright good luck for math paper 2 tomorrow.

2011-09-21T16:27:00.001+08:00

I want to move to some country now, somewhere where no one knows me, and start my life all over again. I come to realise that there are actually some things or people I can live without and I'm sure I'll do fine without them.
Anyway, I spammed Skyscraper about 8 times today. It's not really the context of the song, but I'm totally in the mood. :(

Skies are crying I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence as it's ending
Like we've never had a chance
Do you have to make me feel like
There's nothing left of me

As the smoke clears I awaken
And untangle you from me
Does it make you feel better
To watch me while I bleed
All my windows sill are broken
And I'm standing on my feet

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I'm gonna rise up from the ground
Like a skyscraper

Go run run run I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear
Go run run run now it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here...

2011-09-20T23:15:00.001+08:00

I'm super hooked onto twitter now. Not because I like to tweet, but because I like to read tweets.
I used to refresh facebook's news feed a lot, then I realized sometimes there are so much crap there which annoys me. Twitter's different. I choose whose posts (or rather, tweets) I wanna read. And I hardly have any friends who follow me, so everything is foreign and unfamiliar, which surprising makes me feel more comfortable.
I don't know luh, but I like this whole I-don't-know-you-you-don't-know-me thing. :) I get inspiring and sometimes funny quotes. They make me happy. And they make me reflect more, which is a good thing.
I'm not regretting reviving my long forgotten twitter account.

Right, I should sleep. Chem paper 2 tomorrow and I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

2011-09-19T23:26:00.001+08:00

I like this Blogger app. Its so simple and easy to use, but I think the only aspect which I'm not quite satisfied with is that I cannot decide the position of my photos. :(
Anyway, here are some outdated photos of my nails:

2011-09-19T06:38:00.001+08:00

I'm using this new Blogger app and testing it's function for photo uploading. If it's fine then I'll probably substitute the comp for this. :)
Anyway, I'm blogging while I'm in my dad's car. I know, early in the morning. But I slept at 10 sharp last night so that means I slept for at least 8 hours. :)
I kept having weird dreams these days. Last night I dreamt that we were all in this school, then Chuxi had some Chinese course and Julian went for some cycling trip so I went to the netball court to slack. Then there were a lot of people there and they were trying to roast some baby lamb while it was still alive so I freaked out and ran away. After that I met Daniel, who was waiting for Chuxi, so we went to the cafe downstairs to wait. Daniel ordered coffee but I didn't cos I had menses (-.-) so I didn't feel like drinking anything. Then I just sat there holding my womb watching him drink. Later Julian came back then I went to the hall with him to watch the students council investiture. Apparently they had some camp already. And it was announced by the emcee that the 37th was very disappointed with the 38th cos they didn't show any improvement after the camp. (??)
Then my dad woke me up. Wts super weird. And detailed. And a lot of random people that I feel a bit embarrassed to type here.
Oh oh Friday night was worse. I dreamt that Julian was really mean to me, like he kept ignoring me and treated some other girl (i don't wanna say her name please don't ask me) very well, and he didn't even realize, so I ended up crying in my nightmare. And when I woke up I was tearing. :O First time in my entire life. I spent the next entire 10 minutes convincing myself it was just a dream. Urgh.
Yep that's about it omg I feel like sleeping now...

2011-09-14T23:09:00.001+08:00

@funnyfacts_
That scary moment when you confuse a mannequin with a real person.
Twuffer • 14/9/11 10:31 AM

Saw this on Twitter and it actually reminded me about the day Julian and I went to H&M. There were so many mannequins around and I was subconsciously touching them as I walked past, and I almost touched a REAL man. I got a shock. :d

2011-09-06T23:19:00.002+08:00

Quick post before I go to sleep. Today was spent at Julian's house with Miranda and Nathan until 9 pm. Yea we studied, and I finally started to get stressed about my work progress. :( Good and bad luh. Yesterday Julian came over to study but not very productive, but we had a really good lunch. Yay feast. :) But I still can't cook. Bad bad bad. :(
Anyway, yoke! This is for you!

I estimated the position of kitty's eyes wrongly so it looks deformed haha! But I love the watermelon nails. :) The problem is that I only have the nails of my left hand painted :P My right hand has nails with chipped red nail polish. Ew I know. I'm too lazy nvm luh.

Okay I'm gonna write my letter and sleep. Tomorrow need to wake up early. :/

2011-08-30T10:31:00.001+08:00

This is so sickening. I have so many things I want to do but the only hindering factor is exams. Urgh. I can't wait to get this over and done with.

2011-08-28T20:49:00.004+08:00

Wah this is probably the only post I'm going to post in the month of August because firstly, I'm lazy (as usual) and secondly, I can't be bothered to switch on my comp just to blog. :P
Had calligraphy competition this morning and I earned 40 bucks wooh!
[27.08.11] CONGRATULATIONS!

My aunt just gave birth to a baby girl yesterday and we went to visit her at Thompson today. Super cool leh, cos all of us (9, including the baby) were delivered by the same gynae. :D I made my aunt and uncle a card last night so I'm suffering from severe lack of sleep now cos we had to wake up super early this morning for the comp.
Yay I love the card. It actually kind of looked printed. :)
And omg the baby was super cute! I haven't seen or touched a baby in such a loooooooong time! The last one from our family, as in relatives, was like 11 years ago omg. Anyway my cousins were saying that by the time this baby is primary 1, I'm 25 already. Omg old shitz.

I think she can't really open her eyes yet cos it was too bright. But she did open one, for a few seconds only. :) And her hair felt... wierd. Felt like... um, the inside of a womb. Haha okay gross. Maybe not. But her skin was really really soft. So unreal. :O

I didn't dare to carry it so um, this is the best photo I can get. :P

My ah ma was sharing her experiences with all of us when we were babies. She said I was a good baby cos all I did were eating and sleeping. I was a quiet baby, so quiet they had to make me cry cos my mum was worried that I might have some lung disorder or something. Ah ma said chuan kai was damn cute but damn naughty haha. He would scratch my ah gong when he bathed him, then my ah gong would complain to my ah ma that the wound on his chest hurt when he bathed. :P

:D
Dinner was at my nai nai's house. We da bao-ed there. Yay good food. And the chicken soup was awesome. I sort of miss my nai nai's cooking... :/
[26.08.11] LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Ended school at 1pm cos our school was a polling station. Went to plaza sing's Manhatten Fish Market with julian, matt, jung, chuxi, daniel, hong and jiayuin for the one-for-one offer. FEEEEEEESH and CHEEEEEEESE.
Aiyur oily ttm I totally didn't like it. I actually felt like vomitting after that. Gah. But it was fun luh. :D
10S7G'S CLASS PAGE!

Haiz this is probably the only coloured version that is available cos they are gonna print it in greyscale dkehwguu28syxt84yc2uhdcksh bleh. Forget it I've been complaining about it the whole week already. Not a good feeling. :/

[02.09.11] HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!
Won't be in school to celebrate this occasion. Actually I told fiona that I won't do the teachers day cards this year cos I spent so much time doing them last year. But afterall this is our last year, and it will probably be the last time I get to make cards for our teachers so... I volunteered. :P

I couldn't find any full body photo of mrs lim so I think this is the best already. :P

Ah this is my favourite. :)

Actually I think I will miss ms tee. She's the most cheerful and bubbly and cute teacher I've ever met. Her husband is so lucky.

Mrs toh's card didn't turn out very well cos I used the wrong colors... :/

And miss lee's. Thank you moodle. :P
Oh yea, I spent $29.80 on these 5 cards, and I have quite a lot of excess materials left. Yay I'm budget queen! Daiso and popular are my best friends. ;D
Some random photos that I didn't upload earlier.

I got these rings from the flea @ scape many weeks ago. $3 each. Quite cheap, and very pretty! But I'm not sure if I'll wear them hah.

And I made these! Cost price is very low. I think I'm gonna change the string to black ones. I got them at chinatown that day. 5m for $1.50. :)

Yeap that is all! Tuition tomorrow and I'm gonna mug geeee peeee

Here are the photos from the Sentosa trip that day. I was being lazy again haha. Anyway, on our way to take the shuttle bus to underwater world, some sentosa guy stopped us and offered us this package that includes the admission into Butterfly Park and Insect Kingdom for $29.90. Wooh. :DOmg the insect specimens were damn cool lah. The only uncomfortable thing was that i was wearing my contacts and they were especially dry i also don't know why. Luckily we went to vivo to get eye drop at 10.30am. :P
The package was actually quite worth it, since the original price was like $16 for the bpik and $26.90 for uww. :O
Went to macs for lunch after bpik. :) I love that macs. The tables were pretty. :D

The pink dolphins and sealions show. Damn crowded lah oh man. Anyway, after what mr cheong said today, i feel so guilty for watching. :(

Aw. This is super cute! :D
Yea then we went to the underwater world. Had to squeeze with the people urgh.

Actually my photography skills are not bad lor *omg thick-skinned*. :P

Yay i like this photo! Although it is a little off center. :P I had to move together with the jellyfish to get this shot okay! :) Haha. Jellyfish are so beautiful. :)
Haha then we went three rounds around the conveyor belt thingy. Heh omg auntie ttm. But partially because awhile later there were less people so it was more comfortable. And actually, every round you go you will see discover different sea creatures, so it was really interesting. :)

Oh yea i took out my contacts in the end cos somehow they weren't very clear in the dark/ indoors... :O

Oh man i totally love this sea dragon. So pretty. :)
That day amanda lee brought her polaroid camera and we took one. Yay it's nice. And i like yoketing's editing. :D

Met miranda and nathan for late lunch last friday before our tuition, which was surprisingly convenient cos the four of us have direct buses from our schools. :D
Had lunch at manhattan fish market. Fun fun! Talked and gossiped as usual haha and i can't wait to meet them again. :D

Yay i love my friends. :D

Anyway, a super busy week ahead so good luck to me. :O

Oh I'm in the mood to blog again. Either I'm especially inspired by my new blogskin, or I'm just feeling really emotional these days. Idk luh but I think I'm having mood swings so maybe my period is on the way...? Ee.
I was super happy in the evening though, cos I received my two shorts from love bonito already but one of the shorts is in the wrong size (as in I ordered s but they delivered m). Still fits though, so maybe I won't change it I'm not very sure...
Um yea now I feel so sian I was on fb and also surfing the net hoping to find photos or pictures that can make me happy. I like this Multifolds photography group on fb, where they (2 people) actually shoot couples in love. Actually I think they have other photos too, just that I really like the Melissa and Jonathan album. I don't think I can post the photos here cos of copyrights but the photos are really beautiful and the best thing is, they shot it in Singapore. Singapore has nice underrated places. :O the photos really showed the couple deep in love and it seems like there are only the two of them in the whole world, which was quite heartwarming actually. It made the world seems like it's a really nice place. :) I always feel so happy after looking at those photographs... But I guess it's a girls' thing luh. :/ nvm luh.
Or maybe the reason why I like the two of them so much is because they are so compatible and they are fulfilling my inner spg-ness. :P
Oh well.
