friday i'm in love~
despite sleeping for the last four to five hours, i still owe a huge sleeping debt. i think i'm going to crawl back to my bed that my mum complains there's too many soft toys right after this.

i think the five of us, peiwen, boonyen, khad, marina and yours truly, are ORH-SOOMMME!
last minute work isn't something to be proud of. but damn! who completes a report in less than 48 hrs time!? tell me how cool is that?

or maybe not that cool when the weight of your eye bags gets heavier and the shades of the eye rings increased by another tone. but stilll~



a little long overdued from cny. i know i don't look like myself.
the very very last minute meet up.

i just read the blaw project requirements and the information, and i just kept laughing. how not to with "OH BAH MA", "JOEL PAI GEN","DEMOGRAD", "REPUBLIC","SARAH PEILIN" and "HOCKEY MUM"?! one look at that i know it's highly related to Nov 4th 08. that asides, it looks a little tough to me. and i wouldn't want to risk leaving the work till one day before submission.
;D

i'm amazed at myself. right now as i stare deep into my laptop lcd screen, i wonder what on earth im doing up at nine when i just went to sleep at four this morning. but surprisingly, im wide awake.
i'm also thinking i'm gonna be maimed at least three good days. the blisters on my feet are killing me.
boo for that. ):
thankfully, i should be staying at home while they come and visit my parents, unless marhjong is still on at ziqi's place
moo for that.(:

oh! it was really reunion yesterday at my maternal grandparents' house. yesterday was the first time i met a cousin that i always heard about, but never met. even if we did, he only seen me in my diapers. /shy. it's weird to hear myself calling someone "kor" when i've been one of the eldest grandchildren in the family all these while, and all my other cousins are younger than me.






the youngest in the family. pretty?
guess the genes run in the family.
/blush
(i'm so getting booed i bet)


the "toy" during cny for four years in a row.


okay, back to screaming "dont want to miss a thing" by aerosmith with my sister.

you know my theory about wanting to club when im facing project stress? it's tested and proven. resolutions really don't count, do they? while we are at that, it's new year, so all those drinking done doesn't mean that my resolutions are being broken right?


**
@ ziqi's house
-stupid chance. tiao zeng don't know how many thousand times.
-i met ziqi's bf. and hearing ben woon and chance woon talk makes me think that im hearing chance talking to chance

came back home
-the looks on darrel and shaun's faces, after they found out me and prissy are sisters, are classic
-avalanche makes me want to pee in my pant.

it's the year of the OX. and as khad will put it, THE COW.

apparently, cherrie came up with this. im giving her the benefit of doubt now.

steamboat was once again a big affair, with plenty of leftovers. the Lim family steamboat makes other steamboats blush in embarrassment.
and despite efforts to avoid any alcohol as at the start of 2009, the cups of wine still came forth to me. worst thing is, i think i drank the most. bet that accounts for the stupid mistakes i made while playing mj just now. i za hu once, threw too many "winning" tiles to my sisters. but strictly speaking, it's not my fault!
those "winning" tiles will just affect my "winning" suits! see the logic!


to everyone out there, BLESSED COW YEAR (: and collect alot alot of angbaos!

my hand is itching. to spend money. i want to dash out of my house, to the malls, and buy new stuffs. like really badly, and i have no idea why. i was happily sorrowfully doing my project, when the sudden urge to the exact above came surging in my bloodstream.

i thought this kind of notion should come after the cny money comes in. maybe..
i will just head out for a little while before reunion dinner. ;D

anyhoos, after the sumptuous dinner mummy prepared yesterday night, i headed over to hengyi's place where the 05 ppl are having steamboat. undoubtedly i feel out of place and weird, but all for the stupid square headed brother of mine. what to do? it's all included in the terms and conditions of the friendship package.

OH! i want to go overseas with friends badly! i was just looking at my japan, china, hongkong, bali photos and i miss the feeling of going overseas alot! how how how! anyone in the mood for HK?

this is grace,
this is love.
favor smiles at me from above.
this is more than I can imagine, or ask for.
I will give You my hand,
and You cherish me till the end.

so i'm really glad that i went service yesterday. it's not every service that has fireworks and a musical that well deserved a standing ovation. although the sermon was the same as Thursday's chinese and hokkien service, i think there's a different feel and revelation when it's preached in english, i meant singlish.
not only that, what was being preached is a "NOW" word for the people, coinciding with the festive season.

new creation church is really blessed, with talents and a crowd that is so hungry for God's words. initially, i thought it's a friday night, people may not make it from work and other plans. but, the stadium was pretty packed (except the part behind the backdrop), and the same goes for rock auditorium,and overflow rooms on level 4 on 6. our church so needs one-north ssooonn!




is this possible? it's just another 7 years..

Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged.

8. i love reading books and writing with a pen, cause it makes me feel smart. this includes chinese novels as well.

10. i dislike wearing teeshirts cause i think they suffocate me.

11. i vandalise any tables i sit at, as long i have a pen/pencil in my hand

12. cause i have a double decker bed at home since we first moved it, my sister and i would playing camping in the lower deck and hanging the blankets down from the upper. and since we didn't switch on the air con or the fan, we were sweating like crazy inside the "tent", especially after jumping around.

13. my hand and eye coordination suck balls.

14. i want to go to one different country every year. two if possible. Malaysia and Indonesia not counted.

15. there are three stages that i can be in when im sleep deprived or super tired. the first will be, i will stone or zone out. after this stage, will be the cranky and irritable stage. then following will be the crazy and "drunk" stage. don't let me get to the last stage.

22. i have weird cravings at the most randomnest timings. like now, i feel like eating durians and tau huey

23. i have a lot of weird dreams, and i realized most of my dreams have kids in them. aud n pw will know about this. ;D

24. i can be damn fickle minded, and changes my mind like a girl changes clothes ( think katy perry).

25. this i have to agree with auddd. i have some of the bestest people around ever! ;D

i tag no one. i was bored!

i want to sleeppppp! ):

but instead of going home and rest my baggy eyes(new name for eye bags), im here typing away, in the freezing cold library, with someone in the next computer terminal breathing so loudly, like a dinosaur.

since i have three hours before going church, i decided to make full good use of time to do project, while waiting for szeying. but somewhen between the start till now, my brain has stopped functioning normally due to the artic cold atmosphere here. so much for saving electricity, the air con here is blasting at full turbo. or maybe it's because there's only a few pitiful souls around here on this beautiful TGIF.

as anyone with a pair of eyes can see, i had a little trip to little india with boonyen and peiwen yesterday. (okay, you can't really see, but use a little imagination!) honestly, i would say that we finished combing almost the whole of little india, starting fromn farrer park and ending at bugis, all for the sake of peacock feathers,and some indian delicacies for our UCCD project. i also ate my first or maybe second chapati! ;D so stef, that's the reason why we are so excited about that round piece of flour.
so just this week alone, i've been to chinatown and little india, and i was reaaallyy close to going paya lebar and aljunied area this week as well! heritage tour, you see

okay, my fingers( which i realize, are really stubby) are going to freeze and drop off from my equally pudgy palms. but nothing is gonna to stop me from saying this.....



RAPHAEL NG JIAN NENG SUCK!


ARGH!

peacock tail








chapati!

so weird so weird so weird. no feelings no special missings. nada. it is over i guess?

anyway! i misplaced my thumbdrive by leaving it at BIZ-IT today. but all glory to God, weixuan was the one who found it!! thank you xuan xuan! and thanks to cherrie and peiwen who went the extra mile to help me find my thumbdrive.
ai ni men long long time!

and once again. so weird, really. is it just buried somewhere in my heart? or is it the fire is no longer burning.i know i sound like an emo person. but yeah. :/

I FEEL LIKE A HERO/HEROINE

we shall have a moment of silence over that poor, fugly and hideous roach that i brutally whacked to death earlier on, not. it just makes me oh so happy and feel so victorious when i see that pest flipping on its back, kicking its hairy legs up in the air like it's waving a white flag after running around the living room even after being crippled by me, and breathing its last final breaths and praying its last final prayers for its babies lurking somewhere (probably in this flat).

the thought of it lying there in the dust in, with two of its legs stick to the newspaper roll just makes me have the great sense of satisfaction and joy that cannot be explained in pure words alone. you should see the smile on my face.

i think she is inspiring. the setback was huge and came as a blow to her. but she's recovering fast, and with not much bitterness than sweetness that came along as that special chapter of her life came to an abrupt, yet foreseen, ending.
so she has mourned over it, nonetheless, she still had her sanity with her, though her drive was low.
i know chocolate and a note isn't enough to fill that missing void. and i'm glad she has her friends who sticked by her and accompanied her when she's at her lowest peak of her life by far.
love you dear baby.

anyhoos. my cny shopping is more or less done. i want that that that dress! )): but it can cost me more than a week's allowance. credit crunch my ass. all the places that i went these few days are filled to the brim with people like there's a hello kitty queue at every corner of the malls. needless to say, chinatown was pure siao-ness. so i just need bangle/earrings and shoes to complete the whole outfit. hehehe. when it comes to cny clothings, there's no reason as to why we should shop. it's just logical.

as for exams, i can see where the project work is heading, but it's up to us, the unbeatable 5 to pull some crazy stunts again to complete the project right on the dot and nothing less.

i can't for CNY food!

in the midst of all the project deadlines stress and the pressure of not buying cny clothes yet, i took some time out after school on friday to head over alast's place, with valerie, junwei and josiah, to paint our supposedly second home. right las? ^^

the painting escapade was definitely an experience and something for a change. seems like i can really fulfill my possible destined profession as an interior designer or take on mummy's family business. anyway, throughout the whole evening, there were a lot of singing, like roof's on fire(;D), and i can't live without you(Belgium version, featuring alastair. headed over to din tai fung after one final round of fencing and cornering of the boy who survived death.

speaking of which, thank god all time favourite survived his dangerous stunt and escaped the whole accident with just his neck traumatized, as he puts it. can't imagine monday breaks without you alast, i know you're reading this!

on a more sorrow tone, the relationship that i was betting to be forever, just ended like that. i hope that poor girl will be more than just fine.

tell me what on earth am i doing in class when there's no class! i could snuggle in my bed for a longer time on TGIF. i hate this part the most, considering i owe my bed a huge debt for not using it to its full potential.

and that, i can only blame myself for playing too much of guess the sketch late last night. to top things off, i was running on sleep deprived mode the whole day. nonetheless, i summoned all the energy i left and headed out with the ever-worsening eye bags to meet auddy for some ikea meatballs, and fully exploiting our time there doing stuffs we wouldn't want to be caught dead doing in orchard road. but, since i have an accomplice guilty of the same moronic actions, i don't feel half as bad goofing in ikea. popped by giant to scout for food, and after pushing the trolley(for the sake of pushing one), we eneded up with only two egg tarts before we called it a day.

i miss just going out with aud like that. for these few weeks, we didn't really haed out with just two of us, or that both of us have prior engagements or that my bff hates going out with me. so audd baby! can we have more 二人世界time together please!
sunday sunday sunday!

back to word challenge nowzz

i have began my arduous journey of projects since yesterday,after attaining enlightenment that time is short, i need to get my ass down to work and stop procrastinating. but the progress is miserable as the pathway to become project-deity is filled with distractions like friends and games. i need to meditate, but deep down inside i know the attempt is futile.

ahh screw it.

i came home after school,with every intention of completing what i left off the last night, but due to unforeseen circumstances, in this case episode 15 of gossip girls, things are left the way they were last night. and then came the friendship commitment where i have to go john little's sale at expo to buy a certain thang,but ended up shopping for 5 hours straight for almost everything(including bedlinen).seriously! who on earth shops at JLS for 5 hours!!?!! it's like mission impossible accomplished.

then when i reached home i thought i was filled with motivation and drive to start on the piling workload, i saw this really fetching and interesting book on the table, The Marriage Book: How to build a lasting relationship. yes it's doesn't concern me, at least not now. yes, it's sounds a little corny even to me. and here comes the big "BUT", it's...as i said, interesting and out-of-the-ordinary. so, don't be surprise if i just pull the book out and read when i'm bored, cause the chances of me doing that is just too high.

or maybe i should change my profession to be a marriage counselor (:
audd baby, anything to say about it?

okay time check. i just spent the last half an hour, catching up on JustJared, and people-with-free-time-that-can-be-used-on-more-productive-things-such-as-projects should be shot dead,well, for wasting precious time. but it will be just too shameful to let reports on Golden Globes Award just go to waste like that.

monday, by far, is one of my favourite days of the week, contrary to popular phrase"monday blues". granted, it's defintely heartwrenching to pull myself out of my bed on wonderful monday morning, but for me, it also means that i can hop home happily after school ends at two, giving me extra leisure time to FB, watch gossip girls, blog hop, just jared and do anything that doesn't concern school.

truth be known, i'm pretty clueless about the topics taught, and i am always doing last minute work and revision when deadlines and exam dates come along. and as usual, when i'm in doubt whether do i really belong to banking and finance, the inevitable question of "what can i do instead" will be parading itself in my mind.
and interestingly, my reply in this monologue conversation in my mind today, was interior designer.
I KNOW! im artistically challenged why did i ever think of that. before any of you all think that i suffered a blow to my head, here's my explanation.
today, while helping alastair to choose the colours to paint for his room, i realised i enjoyed flipping through the colour schemes and imagining all kinds of rooms i can do up, with the colours and different kind of furniture.
then again, for a person who submits blank answer booklet for DNT in secondary 2, the idea was flushed away as soon as it surfaced in my head.
honestly, if you ask me why did i choose BNF for my course, i can't give you a good answer right away.

and seeing all the 2008's sec 4 people holding booklets about Poly and JC admissions today, i shall reminisce that life changing day when olevel results for my year were released. like it or not, as boring as it is, i'm still going to do my fair bit of recollection.

on that day, i was utterly embarrassed, with droplets of black sweat at the sides of my face. ok, maybe not that gross, but never again i'm gonna use black hair spray, especially when i know i am going to sit for around an hour, in a stiflingly warm place, like the school hall of Hai Sing Catholic. nonetheless, im embarrassed. i really feel like suing whoevever chose my photo to be shown on the screen! HONESTLY, IS THERE EVEN A NEED TO DO SO?! i wasn't even looking, i was busy commenting how i think the speaker had such a feminine voice when he's supposed to be a guy! i didn't even recognize myself until my friends were slapping my back with all their congrats and all. to top things off, despite the results, i was in a bad mood after quarreling with mummy about the whole JC thing. gosh.
and this concludes my results day.

just thinking of it makes me blushed with embarrassment and humiliation. i shall continue watching my gossip girls and play guess the sketch later. YES! guess the sketch! one of the finest way to have a good laugh, be it the drawings or the answers from the players. the real kick of the game, is playing with friends or people you know, and you can see just how good your friends are at deicphering abstract art and coming up with way nonsensical answers (like hengyi),and how your friends cheat their way to get the top score.

HEHEHE
projects? what projects?

daddy's being mean, he's stingy with the cny clothes money. ):
i'm gonna bask to earn some cash just to buy myself a new top.

and im gonna eat duck meat tonight.
balances the sorrow i feel right now for not having enough money.

speaking of ducks,

peiwen's attempt to get the SWANS, to reply her, by QUACKING
how smart.
oh! i wanted to sell peiwen's unglams, but then again, she has mine.
i shan't tempt the EVILLL ONE
;D

they say the higher the expectations, the bigger the disappointment.

a fine example will be the little nyonya's alternative ending

someone should do something
1. sue mediacorps
2. call police
3. throw the scriptwriter behind bars.

damnation
the show just nose-dived from my most favourite tv series, to least favourite.

love you long long time

BFFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFAF

geesuan, jeremy and josiah

sister and brother

just us, we can rule the world.

i'm deadbeat and ready to collapse on my bed for a good long sleep. after a long week of going for classes and out and running, it's time for a good long rest. and going out with val, aud, junwei, jo and alast just did the final trick.
my eyes were threatening to seal themselves on the lower lids forever if i pull a project stunt tonight. so being a kind soul to my eyes which are helplessly attacked by eyebags and dark eye rings, i decided to go sleep right as soon as i put a full stop to my blog entry.

abandoning the original plan of going JP, to watch 7 pounds and check out the new extension, we headed over to cine to play guitar hero 3 and play darts. GIRL POWERXX! initially, i thought i can just kiss any chance of handling the guitar well goodbye, but who knew, i was a little taken back by my ability to do so, as little as it is, knowing fully well my hands coordination is below zero. however, the real pro was audrey! she so trashed the guys and crushed their egos to bits. (SORRY GUYS). darts throwing was pretty fun as well, with the girls teaming up against the guys, and achieving a tie-break between the 2 teams. dinner was at LJS, and i bet half of the calories from the dinner, was burnt away while laughing hysterically, exhausting our energies, what little it's left. the whole laughing session did not stop there. it shadowed us as we made our way to Wheelock place to chill and it emerged again as we were comfortably settled down to chat.

total expenses for the day: $4 for the games, and $4.50 for dinner.
HOHOHO!

alrights, to my loving bed.

Before i'm drown with all the project work and stress hitting me from north-south-east-west, all of them competing to see who can give me the worst headache, i'm determined just to blog about something anything today.

now i understand what's szeying's saying, year 2 is stress, especially to the end. now i know, poly isn't a piece of cake with ice cream on top. in fact, year 2 has a been a blur to me, with not too many happy memories with my present class, but alot more memories with my year 1 class, and the year just whizzes by.

so right now, my things-to-do list just got even longer with all the deadlines queuing up,all determined to put me on death roll. i could use with some breather every now and then.even shopping spree for cny clothes needs to take a raincheck.

but, i know where, who and what is my salvation, and he will make me victorious.

it's just a few days into 2009 and i already break my resolution to drink lesser. my mum's side of family drinks alcohol as though it's plain water they are gulping down.

nonetheless, it's fun seeing all your cousins, safe and sound, your uncles and aunties doing well and joking around, especially after a little too much. i think this year CNY will be a fun one, with all the cousins slowly growing up and there are more common topics among the older ones.

and if any of you all come across a page on FB, titled, " Pig Lovers Club", i swear it has got nothing to do with me. it was all veralyn's doing in attempt to make yushu's life a living hellish sty, and she's determined to do so.
funny mean shit

You Make It Real - James Morrison

"It's easy for everyone to get too wound up in their feelings and you could find yourself chasing yourself in circles until you fall down. Even if you think you've got a 'the one' on the hook, don't waste too much time if they don't respond. By knowing just how far you will go you'll be able to realize that extending yourself too much ends with less than you started with"

this is freaky.

2009

im expecting a lot this year, and i have faith that it will be the greatest year by far. as much as 2008 has been an awesome and fulfilling year, a year that exceeds my expectations, i believe that 2009 will be just as blessed or even much more. i see great tidals of joy and blessings and favor coming over my family, friends and me.
2008 ended well for me, up to the last second, and i spent it with a bunch people that we went through thick and thin together. with them, i sort of found back the courage, sensibilty and orientation that i thought i lost back when i stepped out of secondary school. but then, that's another story altogether.

the first morning of 2009 has taken mercy on me, with no hangovers and my dad blasting gold90.5 on the radio. i can't think of a better start to the first waking moment of this new year.

and i guess a closure for the matter that has burning my heart for a little too long now.

yes man later.
