a walk to remember..

2007-08-25T06:47:00.000+08:00

i cant really recall if i already have such a title up before but i figure what the heck ! if bears can come again, so can blog titles right ?

anyways, the restless mood is starting to settle in and i really need to get my arse down to running and biking.. though (way) easier said than done !

last wednesday, for no apparent reason at all, i decided to take a stroll to robs place for my usual wed get-up. So, armed with NEWater (still gives me the gibbers!), brilliant ipod loads and a certain backpack. I started the 8km walk... (i kid u not!)

the whole stroll was amazingly refreshing and got me light headed, although i suspect the same would not be the case had i been running my lungs out. I think its partially due to the fact that someone up there has stopped the drizzle, so the air was nice and crisp. Legs felt quite energetic till the last part, which i attribute (no thanks) to my worn birks. Anyhows, a few undulating and picturesque landscape of about 5 miles later, (and a few beads of perspiration), robs showed up in his running gear, half berating me for being so slow (ouch!). sighs... so much for love, ya .. ooh well, i reckon i shld quickly get the bike i'm currently drooling over and hopefully clock in some mileage on it !!

never thought i would actually feel so jaded from inactivity, but recently MIAMI INK, CSI and HBO have been promoted to being my constant companions and bestfriends.. yikes .. i hope i land that dream job soon ! too much play, no work makes tiff an 'iffy irritant !

that aside, hulllo HK !

-yawns

end of the road (for now !)

2007-08-18T11:03:00.000+08:00

the weather's gone mad these days ..
but i'm not complaining the least coz i love these cold sleep-in sorta weather..
harha, i sense the pigginess in me surfacing with each passing day !
anyhows, its finally over- last day at work (or rather last physical day at work)
it was a really bitter-sweet feeling, contrary to how all my friends feel
already i'm missing people at work (irony isnt it)
thankfully, no mushy goodbyes, just simple sweet 'thank-yous' and a really
nice key chain from GUCCI (in anticipation for my car! ha!)

rob figures that i've been changing jobs much too often,
but then again, the finance line is like this, no ?

ooh well, i came across this nice fund-raising page from a blog i've recently love to read ..
i've been trying to coerce some people to join me, but unfortunately
no one's taking up my offer, sympathetic to the cause, yes - participate, NO !
but do check it out though,

hullo BREAK, goodbye stresss !

frozen in time...

2007-08-10T23:29:00.000+08:00

a spectrum encapsulating a moment in time..
a mosaic of colours and fixation ..
alas, still a goofy shot *toots*

Just got back from catching CASHBACK .. and it was BRILLIANT !
i like Brits for some reason, and this short-film-turn-movie is one of them..
this film centres around 'time' which is relative to each individual..
a single person's 'minute' could feel like hours to another and vice versa ..
anyways, i realised from this film.. there is a '2-seconds' rule to each circumstance and
situation...and if someone sees the bad '1-second' part, it doesnt matter what the other
good '1-second' will be.. the second has passed and no words can rightly seek
to explain that in words...

watch this.. its great ..
i always wondered who the actor who played 'Oliver Wood' is in Harry Potter..
here he is ...*slight NUDITY ahead though*

good'nite, world ..

oosh-ke-baby...

2007-08-05T14:45:00.000+08:00

after being away for slightly more than half a year,
rob's back ! and with a bang i must say (think hair bangs)
and we finally got to spend some nice quiet atas time tgt ..
amazing enough, he was dressed in something nice..
if you know robin, u'll knoe his usual devil-may-care garb..
so it was nice actually, and so, that is the reason for the triggerhappiness..
it was kinda cute to see him excited over getting valet..
he's probably gonna kill me for saying this but ,
when he first saw his new car .. he turned to me and sed :
' babe, we can finally go to Oosh and act like those atas kias with valet !'
haah, my babe, the silly boy ..
anyways, some nice but fat(me!) shots coming right up ..

not satisfied with just grass n lubes,
we prowled the streets of thomson in search of food....
and ended up at TONGSHUI CAFE for a fix ...
and more snap of coz...

spastic me .. but hey.. my alter ego ...

i love this silly one !

flash from the past ...

2007-08-05T14:19:00.000+08:00

had a great time over last weekend with the boy in KL
and needless to say, snaps a plenty.. but this is my all-time favourite ..

sweets n his niece

-
and while i was loading these long overdue snaps ,
i realised i had a few which were quite cute as well...

-

tried making some cupcakes for a fund-raising activity..
they look nice enough by my standards but i reckon ..
more effort is required..
hopefully they are marketable enough to be sold !
any takers for $15/box of 5 beautiful and painstakingly done cuppies ?!?!
heh ..

the crime scene

the accused

the victim *wheee*

the thief *!!!*

the murder weapon !

- satisfied - (:

watch out for this space..

2007-07-12T16:12:00.000+08:00

for those of you who still find alittle time to read
this blog caved in with loads of spiderwebs about,
u'll be gladto know that in a couple of weeks,
i'll be having a new space..
yesh, i've crossed over to the dark side
that being live journal of course...
and i fully intend to make frequent blog entries.. (haha!)
anyways .... watch out ...
coming to a blog space near u ! :)

blown away ...

2007-06-15T10:57:00.000+08:00

i'm literally blown away by this brilliant person.. Paul Potts ..
this is a reality series ( which i detest , by the way) called 'Britain's got Talent'..
and this little act by this man.. delivered the true essence of humility for me ..
a true case of quintessential man with the most beautiful and hidden talent ..
enjoy ..

and the semi-final ...

lo and behold..

2007-05-26T00:43:00.000+08:00

it just struck me that i'm kinda weird in many ways.. it started with me sitting by the bedside and thinking of random thots when .. i think i must be the only one who ...

1. drinks earl grey tea with soy milk ..
2. sit by esplanade bridge with no reason watsoever..
3. calling up a friend to tell him the moon is nice..
4. convincing my bf that he is gay ...
5. confessing that i only go for confessions when i need smth ..
6. eats 4 mini-fuji apples a day followed by a litre of water ..
7. think that having the runs will make me lose weight...
8. brilliant hand-leg coordination (sure, if elephants can dance !)
9. always coming up with 'what-if' scenarios to irk all my friends..
10. have both my bestfriend leaving me for ENGLAND & HK (in that order)
11. spends most of my waking hours imagining if i were Warren Buffet's daughter ..
12. indulging in favorite magazines like SHAPE, BLOOMBERG & HOME DECOR (domesticity surfacing)
13. insisting on making a list so that i end on no. 13 ..

gosh.. i think i ought to get a life real soon !! ooh well, i think this blog has sort of fall into disuse but .. an occasional post still proves that i'm alive (even if barely) ..
i think it must be all the negative vibes from work .. experiencing an exodus isnt the best of feelings .. and after the team was 'bloodied & cleaved' .. i suppose it shld start going uphill from now on.. one should at least hope, right?!?!

again, futile attempt at cheering myself up .. hah *feeble smile*

-Midsummer Night's Dream-

i love these bunch of chummies !!! (too bad my darling's still in HK)

fook-ing shit..

2007-01-28T20:49:00.000+08:00

i am so pissed..
bought a Singtel HELLO! card...
and it freaking does not work ..
the best thing was .. i double checked with the guy at 7-11 if the card enables me to make calls to IRELAND..
either he doesnt know where ireland is or i did not make myself clear (asking twice apparently does not constitute to him understanding the question, neither did him nodding fervously turn the trick )..
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.........

damn damn damn..
what the hell is wrong with this man ..
nevermind it only cost $10 .. hey .. this $10 could mean alot to other people yea ?
what's fanning my fury is the fact that i cannot freaking make a call when i freaking need to ..
u have no idea how costly it is to call ireland.. almost $84.20 for 60 mins by normal phone lines..
i think i need to get a life .. dammn

the devil made me do it ....

2007-01-22T11:09:00.000+08:00

i am still wondering why i signed up for it .. -groans-

elusively yours...

2006-10-04T13:44:00.000+08:00

i am so proud of myself for making this ....

.. not that its any mean feat, but it looks so *pwetttyy* ..
and it means alot for a photo-shop idiot like me !!
i think i am in the christmas mood now !!

but i love 'em !!!!

dislodged ..

2006-06-02T01:03:00.000+08:00

hullo.. its been really really long ! Perhaps this is my outlet for allowing emotions to get the better of me sometimes...

works been terrible , maybe it's just me but i've somehow.. lost my focus
identity crisis for one, confusion for the other...
maybe's i'm just too busy..
letting the negative energy flow through me..

ooh well, i've finally gotten my ass up
and signed up for a pilates lesson..
yikes, hopw i dont break or pull something..

-fingers crossed-

irksome n more..

2006-04-04T21:14:00.000+08:00

i really dunnoe if its just me or is there really this thing called GENERATION gap ?
See, the root of all these frustration stems from those aunties..and i dont mean old auntie aunties...
i mean it in the 30 plus 40 kinda auntie who hawk around mrt seats.. ready to pounce the moment someone's bottom lifts up from the seat ! Whats worst is that usually i dont seat but if u do see some old folk standing ard, please for the love of GOD, let the poor fella sit instead of snaking past everyone to conveniently 'SLIP' into the seat !!!

Groan.. i swear i've never seen those ppl moving faster. Perhaps with the exceptions of a couple of them who are really tired, but most of them ?!?!? Maybe thats the reason for those huge HINDS they have ! Okae, maybe i'm a little vindictive now but .. ah well.. laments and bitching's better out than in yea (well, at least in my clouded excuse of a mind!) ?

euphoria and yet...

2006-03-06T22:03:00.000+08:00

Training has finally come to an end. A mixture of euphoria yet anxiety laden emotions. It has been quite the ride with these bunch of mates. Going through the 'tranches' and pits together is really making me wish training was longer ..

Anyhows, finally have some time to update this blog. Guess the word no-life has always been my kinda thing but this takes the cake man ! So much updates .. everyone's working .. some have new partners, some the old ones.. like myself.. haha.. in short.. everyone's real busy ! who would have thot that a year ago at precisely this time.. we were all happily discussing about nonsense and what to do in melbourne !

in the meanwhile.. goofy me ..

guess only one person can tolerate this.. and quite frankly.. i miss u rob !!!!! xoxo

cluster of thoughts..

2006-02-21T20:23:00.000+08:00

ulllloooo... its been a mighty long time since i last posted anything in this god-forsaken blogsite !! But as usual, this is gonna be a real quickie ! Work's been a mad mad trance of last minute studying and concentration on trainings ! But i must admit that this is prolly as good as it gets with dedicated trainers and all ! Wait a min, before u folks out there think i'm raving and not to mention starking mad.. its nice, real nice infact, to get all the encouragement when u think the end is inevitably close by !

Aquaintances alike, friends made during this short 2 mths have been one of the most endearing group i have ever encountered !!! Anyways, drinking sessions and corny-n-horny jokes aside ! I'm loving it all ...

Cheers !!!!

serendipity has never had such a realism factor than now ....

resolution gone awry ...

2006-01-08T15:15:00.000+08:00

there is absolutely no deny that i have been neglecting this spider-webbed site but with work starting, its tough not to find solace under those god-sent quilts of a blanket, snuggling to the rhythms of the raindrops on my window still.

Christmas come and passed, unfortunately yet the weather hasnt been letting up. Ooh well, no complains from me though ! Anyhow, was browsing through some friends' blogs, shamelessly updating myself with all the happenings in their lives while at the same time, i cant help feeling a sense of guilt for not keeping in touch with my jc mates and sec sch mates.

Reunions sound so distant to a mind so bleak and devoid of them. I am of course, referring to mine ! Well, maybe i havent put in the effort to actually do so or perhaps the mounting feeble rejects and shunning of reunions on my part have taken its toll.. ooh well, new resolution this year... BE NICE :x

back with sweet memories ...

2005-12-27T02:32:00.000+08:00

I am back !! From the land of olive and cork trees ! Its been an amazing 13 days. Somehow experiencing mixed feeling of returning to family back home and the gorgeous and beautiful weather and breath taking scenery in Spain and Portugal ! Abeit some sad tidings bought on by friends, its been a blessed christmas. Hopefully that will usher in a nice and BOUNTIFUL new year with lots of red packets during the chinese new year !! Woo hooo ! Anyway, more snaps coming up as soon as i can scan them into the com ! Hullllo my dear friends !!!

au revoir everyone ..

2005-12-08T01:30:00.000+08:00

i'm going spain !!!!!!!

Warning : Explicit Content ahead ..

2005-12-01T13:20:00.000+08:00

(",) this is a real record, 3 posts in a day ! Anyhow, was suddenly very inspired (no holy holy themed post though) to share about this person .. previously known as theboyfriend. Those mushie-phobic people can start closing the browser just about now !!

Anyway, lets see where shall i start ? Bear with this tribute yea, it can get highly graphic at occasions..

JC 1 (repeat)..

Tall, tanned, basketballer, bespectacled, great voice, chivalrous (its my greatest weakness!)
and to sum it.. my hunk in ugly uniform .. my first n only crush to date (:x)

well, things happened years passed, misinformation fed to and fro..

Fast track 5 years to 2004

Lots of mutual friends, 2 bestfriends and one phone call later ..
- Dating, to me it shamelessly was, to him well... u ask him !

anyway, sidetracked again, nevertheless i've never met someone who can make me laugh till my sides hurt, feel a fuzzy warmth inside till its impossible not to look at the world in the most optimistic n bright colors and of coz, never felt that UNHEALTHY n FLABBY my whole life !!!

From the start, you made the most impossible happen and its impossible not to love you any more. That was how it was and surprisingly, still is. You kept my ground stable and while at that you made sure i was leaning against the most concrete support there ever was - you.

20 months later, you still have the power to make me the happiest person alive. Bringing me to exotic lands like egypt and short destinations nearby and the latest of all, my surprise bdae present - spain n portugal. Many may think its an extravagant, infact too much, kinda gift but the thot that u want to spend all your time with me makes me tingle with love bytes all over. Its always been like this with you, never really knowing what or how to expect but receiving so much more than i think i give.

I found that finally i could picture an ending point with someone, something that i was rather fearful of before, but sweetheart, thanks for everything and bearing with all my nonsense. I feel better because of you, peaceful because of you, loved like never before because of you and most importantly, i found myself in you and bits n pieces of you in me.

darling..

2005-11-30T12:55:00.000+08:00

its been quite some time since the last post. Somehow the procrastinator in me is yelling to snuggle in bed and to hell with the rest. Which incidentally was what i was doing right until ytd. Had a ghastly interview with *** Bank for a Personal Banker position, didn't go too well in my opinion, but keeping ma fingers crossed (toes included). Anyhow, need to do this thing for an ~~irritating~~ interesting guy .. Happy belated Birthday Dwee !!

Right, now that i have gotten it off my chest, this bugger will (hopefully) cease to remind me that I DIDNT WISH HIM BUT LITA DID on the actual day which incidentally fell on the same day as my ex-colleague ! Yikes, birthdays always creeping up on you like that.. speaking of which.. thanks for the Fountain thingie and lime thingie drink (plus those like, what.. 15 bottles of beer on the table !!)

Yawns, think the second person in me is asking me ever so temptingly to hibernate till christmas !!! OOh !! I'm going SPAIN for this holiday !!!! harhaha, courtesy of theboyfriend !! Yeay .. but i'll do justice to that whole trip in good time. Meanwhile, sigh i am gonna miss that girl when she leaves for Aussie .. :(

p.s Good luck for your exams darling !

games galore

2005-11-25T23:11:00.000+08:00

been having trouble with posts lately, so had to separate them into 2 especially with photos.. yikes.. anyways, had loads of fun with this silly game called THE ANIMAL GAME (coincidence ?!?! -fake astonishment-)... laa laa laaa

games ..

uniform gungho ..

2005-11-25T23:03:00.000+08:00

its been the craziest party ever with all of us in our uniforms, some alittle too cosy for comfort while the others.. alittle to far for the imagination to fathom. Of coz i wont really register what i'm saying but u can always ask me i suppose ! haraha, alittle cranky now from the lack of satisfied cravings ! Darn, i swear crystal jade porridge never looked so good before . Ooh well .. these are some of the photos during the makan time and while we were fooling around, someone showed up !! My poor lita was shocked for that moment thinking it was a policeman !

uniform party !

so as u can see from the below, my dashing policeman turned out to be my Mr A (i'm starting to think of an alternative for this abreviation, somehow theboyfriend seems close to mind!).. anyway, just as well, my parents dropped by (well, considering how its their roof, i would consider them dropping by my little party before proceeding to the rest of their house !) Well then, some special guests.....

special guest appearance :)

chestnuts roasting..

2005-11-21T14:24:00.000+08:00

Its christmas once again ! Needless to say, its my favourite season even if it means spending it in humid Singapore ! Somehow people seem nicer when its nearing christmas or perhaps its just my biasness ! Anyhow, was snapping some photos of the lightings along chjimes and they were resplendent !

Ooh well, guess i have been slacking lately and havent been that religious on the entries ! (So much for priding myself in being hardworking !) But its been a great last day at work in that xx office ! Especially my lunch kakis who were so saccharinely sweet in giving me this farewell gift ...

which consisted of these goodies... *awwww*

Anyway .. had lunch with my Mr A before meeting my parents and my dad was vehemently animating to us this young busker who can play the drums very well. I've heard of that young kid to say the least, but after watching, i had no idea a cute young boy like him can really play so well ! H'es so cute i swear i wanted to kidnap him home !!!! He even puts my egoistical brudder to shame !!! Here's some snaps of that child prodigy at what he does best !

also presenting.. my dad the photo spoiler.... he loves to stick a part or piece of him into my camera circumference, circumventing any oportunity for me to take a nice shot... thankfully i managed to when greedy him went to 'admire' the cakes !

and some more showcase of my beloved/s !

finally.. as we were strolling back to the car, we couldnt resist taking a few more shots of the food republic @ wisma ! The hokkien mee is delicious but crowd-fearing people beware, here u get to experience how it feels to scramble to seats the moment the previous occupants lift their arses... nevertheless.. enjoy ..

double or nothing ..

2005-11-16T02:29:00.000+08:00

before i start.. notice smth ?

well done.. now u got it (or if u haven't noticed, i've been updating my posts daily)

okae, now back to the entry proper. Now that the final official academic appointment is over, it's time to celebrate (well, sort of until lita finishes her last paper on the 24th !). I think most of us had weird comments for the interview, i know i certainly did for one, it's finally over ! We can now burn the papers (nah, wait kena for pollution by the mahtars-police) or we could throw them over the balcony (maybe not , wait kena for killer-litter), or we could just sell them to the karang guni man (we're singaporeans thru n thru i tell u ~)

Anyhow, think this is gonna be yet another long one, seeing how much time i actually get to have on my own while temping, i doubt that any of them will actually come across this site, but if ure one of them, hullo there !

So anyway, couple of weeks ago while munching those oohh-la-la mac breakfast, we came across the topic of childhood. How it was like then compared to now. Guess what, i got ostracized yet again for being a kinderland kid ! Here's some excerpts from the little conversation...

-enter chicken little spastic dance on mac telly-
me : cool ! finally a childhood story on digital ..
Q n Ms L : *blank stare*
me : u knoe, chicken little, chicken little ?!?! *flaps wings*
Q n Ms L : huh ?!?!
me : the sky is falling ?!?! remb that story ?? the bedtime story ?
Q n Ms L : *blank look*

and the conversation deteriorated quite drastically about this point ... apparently there are some things that PAP kids know that i didn't ..

1. They got karang guni man, Beng-gali (no racist comment here) & mahtar (police)

me.. i got bogeyman & lucifer - both courtesy of my uncle ben

2. They got hantum bola n poison ball

me.. i got dodge ball - they made a fuss when i sed they were the same

3. They got macoroni n watery cabbage soup in kindergarten

me.. i had spaggetti n naps in kinderland n nice little nursery rhymes like ring a round a roses..

4. They got beatings when they were naughty (n i am suddenly reminded of chung's ~~sword~~ cane fighting scene with his mom)

me.. i got a handslap from mom, at most (minus the time i got tied up and locked in the room) - of coz out of my grand-dad's earshot, he can get alittle overprotective of me even where my mom's concern.

and the rest are up to ur imagination. suddenly i feel like that white kid in Peter's Russell standup !

yikes.. childhood.. was a gruelling time.. for my parents ! My mom's considered nt having anymore after me plus she wanted to vote me for most spoilt child in the century. so i guess u got a glimpse of how i was then. pfffp..

okae, next up ..

i used to not really like cab drivers very much ?! Especially those who go on and on about the government and all (i swear if i were travelling from boon lay to the east side, gladly will i risk alighting on the expressways to escape that). Anyhow, on the morning of my interview, I was late (which happens only occasionally !) I got on a cab and kinda expected the usual chit chat, but this uncle (affectionately known as Micheal) was real nice and at the last instance, I forgot that I didn’t have much cash in my purse. Did a panic check with uncle if he accepted card and he sed he just sent his for repair !!

ooh great.. what a good start to my day ! *groans* ..

until he went .. ‘ nebermind girl, uncle don’t mind…how much u have u give me can already..’

-flushing red-

“thank u uncle …, so sorry …”

to which he again replied … “ no need girl, u take care, good luck in everything..”

I think I should visit the singapore pools… ! How often do u get such a nice cabbie like that ?!?!

a long overdue tribute

2005-11-14T23:20:00.000+08:00

to my daddie !! A man who's toiled for years, who's been a great father, fabulous husband, wonderful son, tireless chaffeur and incessant breadwinner in my family. Here's all the nice things for the one born 46 years ago and loved by everyone...

daddie's birthday (",)

incidentally, mom prepared a scrumptious japanese dinner consisting of chawamushi, tempura and shishamo. *yummie* so there .. hope this big guy had fun those 2 days after being tossed and shussed out by us on the eve of his bdae. We wanted to surprise him (we swear we did ! despite oogling at the bdae cake), so we (and i mean mom most of the time) cooked up a lousy plan of mom wanting him to kill the roach in the living as a divergence while i lit the candles at 12 am. But Guess what ?!? he didn't leave the living room after looking for the phantom roach and i was stuck in the toilet for a whole 8 mins before he stomped back into the room. It was hilarious coz he knew it all along and we thot he didnt. All in all, it was a great day .. i love my family .. n yesh, even my erratic sista !

sorry for the default fonts and all.. i swear i am getting lazy..
then again, when havent i been otherwise ?!?!

damn these pesky things...

2005-11-13T15:48:00.000+08:00

man, either i've got too much time on my hands or my imagination is really running .. and it doesn't seem like it has the intention to stop anytime soon. But to cut the whole story short, i think i am experiencing that whole decision and cross road shit. The last time i did that, some fella got hurt, but i digress, like it or not, one serving of quarter life crisis coming right up. Hell, what's with this quarter life thing anyway, isn't the average lifespan of a singaporean girl supposed to be like 70 at most (or at least thats what the demo says !). Now u see what i mean by cranky ? I think i bring it to a whole new level ! Damn ! Dang those PMS too, while we are at this subject !

speaking of pms, think my blog is really in its worst form of lacklustre-ness. (think colors associated to PMS , green with envy, blue everydays and red-hot fury, u get my drift) Anyways, i'm trying to get more photos uploaded onto this site from my first ball-game. Well technically speaking, its a basketball game between the PERTH Wildcats & Brisbane Bullets. Needless to say, most were rooting for them Wildcats (same goes for their cheerleaders - sure were an attractive bunch) this being their temporary "home ground". But it was good nevertheless, the match i mean, though i have no complains about the cheerleaders. They sure put those local ones to shame, at least their figures would ! Again i'm deviating from my little nutty tale, shouldnt really let this happen again u knoe ! Okie, so it was a close match but i had to leave at half time, thanks to my mr. A ! Speaking of which, poor chap is being tortured by SaaMoooUuee ! Most of them gets arse-poked with those assignments way before the exams. Maybe it's just me, or am i really lacking in the academic department ? Ooh well, at least something to ponder while he's happily lamenting to himself. (Note to self : Smile or half smile when he's talking to me abt schoolwork that i have absolutely no idea abt ! ) :)

a cuppa tea in central perk ..

2005-11-12T14:49:00.000+08:00

I've been watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S these days and as i was watching i was struck by how much friendship is worth. Not that i measure friendship with the materialistic pleasures of our quizotic lives, yet sometimes i wonder who are the ones who will be there for me when i take subjugative setback. I'm a rather private person and while we're at that, the fascade portrayed to others couldnt be more repudiated. Ooh well, maybe its the waiting for christmas that set me off. But sometimes i really want to hang on to friends whom i've crossed path with in that incarnadine garden of eden and hope that nothing will divert our attention. I guess even as time and tide waits for no man, so does change. This is a rather detrimental natured post, so i shld really stop soon. All these negative vibes are really doing derogatory clangings to my ego. So long folks.

+spinner's end+

Damn this is infuriating ! After spending 15 mins typing on an entry, I am directed to a lost in connection page ! Damn ! Anyway, so much for learning the hard way that it always better to copy everything before u hit the post entry sign ! Arggh.. after all the exhilaration over the end of papers, I am NOT going to let this dampen my mood ! *Groan*

Anyways, this promises to be a long entry for sure. The lapse in type-ins for the past couple of weeks are sparse out owing to those damned exams save for the grace of those wonderful, wonderful company in school ! Its finally the end of 3 tedious years in RMIT, and almost by tradition, it has to go out with a BANG ! In this instance, the BANG came in the form of lita’s viral infection malady and the ridiculously ‘interesting’ last paper. It was ‘undoubtedly’ entertaining though .. here’s how it vaguely went :

Suppose you are in a relationship where you are to assume that you are about to be married with ur gf. However, of late, her ex-bf resurfaced and threatens to thwart your relationship by intruding as a third party by lavishing ur gf with gifts..
Question: Using management concepts and theories, what would u do to discourage this attention that ur gf have been receiving ?

I was momentarily stunned to the extent of recovering only minutes later and re-reading the question, blaming my declining eyesight for the ‘mistake’ in the paper. I guess, the examiner (god bless his soul), by setting this question, is coercing us into apply management skills into a daily commonplace situation, yet.. I have only 3 letters to comment .. WTF ?!?!?

Enough about that, the end of the paper was definitely the breather we all needed from all the hardcore studying and pugnacious lecturers ! Thank God ! Speaking of which, I think its high time for me to pay a visit to my church and see if I can arm-wrestle god into clearing my finance this semester. Ooh, I just remb something, after our last paper, we headed for TOY’R’US which is the FAO Schwarz of the US. As usual, we were reminiscing our childhood when we chanced (no pun intended) upon the Lucky 8-Ball, which I strongly suspect, is filled with only good and positive predictions. Nonetheless, here’s mine ..

Me : Can pass and clear anot ?
8-Ball : It shall be as you wished…

Though we all knoe it was just a cheap thrill, it still made me feel a little more comforted n confident in clearing the dreaded last semester. *Groan again*

Now for updates on my poor girl.. After that bout of vomiting and visit to the hospital, she is finally discharged, thank god for that. It was really disheartening to see that girl in pain and discomfort. But the moment she started pointing out to us the ‘elmo-ish’ nurses, we knew she’s well on her way to recovery. As long as she can point out even the most nondescript happenings, we knoe she’s well enough. Ooh well, it was the first and hopefully the last time she’ll have to go through it . But after this whole episode there were 2 lessons that we learnt from it ..

(1) Never be a NURSE (Mel n Me are doomed to never choose this option as a career)

(2) Never let me go within 5 metres of a wheelchair or u’ll have to contain me due to over-enthusiasm !

harha, ooh well, at least as the saying goes .. “ alls well, ends well” .. Amen to that !

Love,
exhausted me xoxo

cruising into the stars ... with my loves !

a very relaxing weekend spent on board a beautiful cruise liner called Star Cruise Virgo - sipping cocktails, lazing in the sun and eating like there's no tomorrow ! All these whilst the big tub floated through the galaxy of stars and towards the onset of sunsets and sunrises ! Made beautiful with all my loves on board.. check out more pics - [*Cruising into Oblivion*]

its a beaauutiful day ! The sun's at its sorching best, beating down on our tan-thirty skin ! Under that big open sky, with coconut trees staring down at us, gentle breeze, waves rolling lazily towards the shore and silent sashaying of the nearby trees. Needless to say, we started late and after a bout of 'breakfast' found a good spot near some coconut trees and went about applying sunscreen and tanning lotion ferociously for that much wanted bronzie look. It was so darn hot with the unrelenting sun rays bouncing off us and our ppor skin trying to lap them all up. Finally the lure of the water was much too tempting to ignore and we had a splashing good time playing nonsensical games like 'Mu Ying Chua Xiao Qi' n attempts to play the Cookie Game ! Needless to say, by 4.15pm, we were exhausted to the bone and promptly fell asleep on our mats and Lye Soh's stolen Jack's Place table cloth (kidding) ! Wanted 2 meet a significant other fella but he was too stoned to answer the phone even !! :( Nonetheless, 30 minutes and 5 bronze looking girls later, we hit the showers in desperate need to look for a good dinner place ! Finally settled for Bugis Tian Tian ! Yummie but got alittle too much, but not enought to deter us from AH CHEW's Dessert with a saccharine-for-a-voice store assistant serving us weird concoctions of :

Cold Papaya in Fresh Milk
Black Sesame Paste
Hong Kong Red Bean &
Gingko and Beancurd (smth else added but cant remb for the life of me!)

after that of coz was home sweet home with my dear bitch, carmen and dennis ! Yawns.. was a great day ! Now, if only i could just stop from feeling a Tingling feeling on my 2 tones darker skin ! :)

Just another sunday afternoon ..

NOT ! Funny as it may sound, people who think they lead routine life actually tends to deviate from this line of thinking more than people who think they have interesting lives. Some strange thots buzzing in my head now, prolly attributed to the show i caught ytd. Was quite a nice one, though throw in a pretty actress and good graphics, anything can be a good show. But hasten not your mindsteps.. it's a nice film not because of its predictable alls well ends well kind plot but because simple as the plot maybe, it adds volume to the commonplace term of living your life. Maybe this isn't the time to branch into the different schools of thoughts but nonetheless, its a pretty nice film ...

Yeay , finally ALL down with None to Go ! Alas, the exams .. darn. Been a real long time since i logged onto to this faithful Blogger side with all the assignments hounding me. Yeay, finally i can spend some quality time with this companion i call Blogger. Anyhows, been a tiring period for those of us in RMIT but with graduation practically at our doorsteps, its hard to stop short in our tracks for anything sounding remotely like 'relax'.

One other funny thing is that i decided to list the things i wanna get here, coz if i have it stored in one of those little vaults in my brain, somehow i feel that this vault always malfunction .. haha, perhaps its just a way of listing to make sure that i get around to buying them or doing them. Otherwise such a waste of brainpower just thinking what to get yea, what to do, u an't blame someone for having limited brain capacity, right-to ? well, here goes ..

1. Love - Rob pay heed
2. More Love
3. Origins Moisturiser - am & pm combined
4. Underwear - nt the kinky kinds
5. Concert Tix for Daddie
6. Ear Piece for my white.box
7. Buddy to the Vet
8. Quidam !!!
9. Tops
10. Bohemian Skirts n Accessories
~~11. Daddie's Havannas~~
~~12. Trip to somewhere exotic~~
13. White Birkenstorks !!

There we go, but there is a big fat chance that i will really get these done .. ooh well, at least i made the efforts to list them out. haha anything i forget i knoe where to come to refresh my ailing health of a memory !

adios,
the lousy shopper

Love knows no boundaries ..

Been quite a week filled with work and activities, makes u wonder if there is such thing called fun in the urbanite's dictionary. Anyhow, just a short post on my favourite sonnet by the portuguese ...

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

- Elizabeth Benette Browning (1806-1861)

Yawn.. its the time of the day again when everything seems to slip outta place and u can only think of that distant but imminient approach of dreamland ... anyways, i think i had an episode of cursed post coz no matter how much i try to upload this certain post, i could never do it, and the creepy thing abt it was that it was about death and loss and all the kinda stuff. Maybe it was never meant to be read by anyone else. Other than that, i recounted a somewhat coincidental relationship with a friend i lost touch with for about 3 years. It was sweet that this someone remembered me and to me, in a friendship, the effort to remember is enough and fulfilling ! Cheers my friend !

Ooh yea, something to lament about .. everytime i step into the turfs of the famous Holland V , i am reminded of how much i detest it at times ! Overpacked carparks and clangarous roadworks aside, the relentless huntings of good coffee places can be overwhelming ! harhaha, but it was a good session celebrating the ol' times !

Ooh.. more photos of the baby ....

Emotion Overhaul ..

2005-09-19T14:55:00.000+08:00

it's been a year and she's still the same quirky girl ! This character walks into ur life, shakes it up and proceeds to do the same to many ! harhar !Anyway a mad rush to City hall to collect the yummie-licious cake (drool below), proceeded by a brisk walk (and by brisk i mean fast walk in 3-inch heels) to Raffles Place to collect the assignment ! Finally it was time to SurPriSe her !!! You knoe, it's never safe to talk to strangers, but put urself in my 'stranger's' shoe today and you'll understand why it isn't safe.. they forgot to tell u that it isn't safe to talk to strangers , coz you might accidentally freak them and cause them to jump onto oncoming traffic !! Anyways, i digress (as usual), i nearly scared my stranger when i saw her holding a folder with my company's letterhead and since i was in a rush after all the scurrying around, i actually asked her if she as gonna head to the office and she said YESH ! Great !! Free ride !! Yippie ! *cheapo* harha, nice photos taken but not by urs truly coz my dar's camera sd card failed on me :( but all in all, was a good day 'cept for the later part filled with cramps and laziness!
