there's freedom in the air? but the moment right after i left the exam room, i felt nothing that is related to relief. okay, maybe a teeny weeny little bit, at the thought of officially finishing academic year 2. but the horror of results are not far from my mind.
FMKT is grace grace!
anyhoos.. i havent caught a proper wink ( only short power naps) since 8am of 25 feb 2009. and i guess i'm loving every single breathing moments of it. "it" refers to the limited freedom i have before embarking on my attachment, and before that, NATAS fair at expo. weixuan, you know you love me right?
to make things short and sweet and bearable for my weary eyes and mind. details as below:
who: Audrey, Valerie, Alastair, Junwei and Josiah
when: 8.10pm, 25 Feb 2009 till 11am, 26 Feb 2009
what: -filling of empty stomachs at IMM with guest appearances of Boonyen, Yiling and Yifeng. -over to roomie's place, and started playing bridge while waiting for the one and only Alastair to grace us with his presence. -wii session, sponsored by the great Josiah, started. -Alastair, came shortly after. -Spotted: Bimbos and Himbos getting all hyped up playing mariokarts. -and yours truly rocks at bowling. -Benefiting from the limousine service provided by taxi driver, Alastair, we went to JP, where we discovered two things. 1. Junwei's a horrible ice-skater. 2. There's no proper supper. -after the pit stop at JP, we decided to make our way to Holland V, for crystal jade and shopped in Cold Storage for quite a while. -tried finding a place to play badminton and chill. first choice Botanic Gardens, but only the living dead will visit the floral and fauna at wee hours of the morning. -ventured a little within the rich estate surrounding Botanic Gardens, and were amazed by the vastness of some properties there. -at the same time, tried pretty hard to find the way out. but it was filled with dead ends and u-turns -a stroke of genius hits us from nowhere. we decided to find a multi-storey carpark and play badminton/bridge(again)/murderer on the top floor of the carpark. -when morning breaks, we headed to a nearby kopitiam to ling kopi/milo/horlicks/teh/bandung -back to roomie's place, and hang there till time for tanning. -tanning almost went down the drain as the sun was shy, and everyone's dead tired. -as though badmintion wasn't enough, aud and me continued to play baskbetball after 15 mins of powernap. -back to roomie's place again, and it's facial time for aud and me. -like any typical, young, growing girls, we found the energy to shop for our ITP formal wear. and im pleased to say, thanks to my two personal shopping assistants, im really satisfied with my buyings and more to come.
once again, thanks alastair for driving us round. and you're my most favourite. hehe!
there.. the summarized version of yesterday/ this morning's events.
there after, my parent wedding anniversary dinner, and slumberland for me.
someone/something somehow made me change my mind as to the matter of moving blog. im really a walkingcontradict

IM JUST A FEW MORE HOURS AWAY FROM FREEDOM! and mind you few is an understatement. i certainly hope i did alright for the last 5 papers. in fact i think this time round, i didn't mug as much as preceding times. so all glory to God here that i managed to finish everything in time.
i would like to thank everybody. everybody who had a part in making this possible. my family, friends, God, people around me.. everybody everybody thank you!! ( SOUND LIKE TATIANA FROM AMERICAN IDOL!?) sorry sidetrack!
these few weeks im seeing God's hands all over my life. and that's the reason why i really love going church. alastair should too, and when he does he better don't act like he doesn't know me, even that means i posted something that spoil market for him, yet again. or rather his market was(and still is) in shambles long long time ago. /grins
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE MY SISTER IS! she moved her blog and i don't know the address. horrible horrible sister.. her not me! having said that, i feel like moving too and the chances of me doing that is pretty pretty high, and when i'm gone YOU CAN'T FIND ME! even you audrey! /evil grins (and me being evil doesn't grant you the right to start the whole evil flashing in paula's eyes thing eh ONG LI JUAN!!)
OK I KNOW! i'm going to officially move my blog on 28th FEB 2009! cause after careful consideration and thorough analysis ( AND CONSULTING WITH THE OH GREAT FROSTY WHO'S STARING AT ME BLANKLY WHILE I ASK HIM WHEN SHOULD I MOVE THE BLOG), 28/02/2009 will be the end of walkingcontradict. her legacy shall continue somewhere in this virtual world.

you know there are times a few songs will be ringing in your mind when you are still in the subconscious state in the morning. i'm not saying when you wake up from the night's sleep, but a few moments before it. the song "crazy in love" and " the man who can't be moved" (beyonce, the script) kept replaying themselves in my head. /sidetrack, my head is still spinning since yesterday night till this morning. and if i don't know better, i would have think that we went clubbing last night and i ended up drinking a lot with an empty stomach, but that isn't the case at all.repeat: that isn't the case.
anyway, while the songs were( and still are) playing in my head, i had the most clear image of someone doing the whole pumping body/beyonce thing along with "crazy in love"! so it was shock horror shock horror horror horror for me and that was when i decided to wake up. and here i am, writing this down, while the image is still fresh from the oven.
cut hair cut hair. WARNING: for those who always comment when i cut my hair, it always seemed that i did nothing to it, you better say something else, apart from that, when you see me.
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
*** i nearly cried when i saw my hair and saw the locks of hair on the floor. i regret big time. )))): this is one good time for someone to give me a time-reversible machine. forgt the face, see the hair. I WANT IT BACK!

i want sleep badly but prissy's still hogging the bathroom, so i shall make good use of my remaining energy and carsick mind to type a really short post
i think im really favoured i think zi char are damn good food i think karaoke really takes mind off things, for eg, exams and a lot of things i think old school songs are fantabulous i think i'm pretty satisfied with the american idol's first group results. i think it would be my first and last time playing card games in a moving car i think i will barf if my tummy's full i think car sick feels like drinking with an empty stomach. i think im going to do something abt my hair soon. soon meaning tomorrow i think im going to end this now

i just ate the cookies that audd baked for me, yiling and boonyen. trust me, i had to hesitate for a nong nong time before eating. because of the way they look and my over imagination : aud wants to poison me for all the crap i did to her. having said that, they look good, unlike how i made it sound. so good that i can't bear to eat them. aud's creation, unbelievable eh? we just can't handle the truth! the rabbit jumped over the clouds and stars, just to give flower his heart~ OK LAME
anyway im waiting for auddball to wake up from her beauty sleep and give me a royal greeting before heading down to meet her to pass her b law. having said that, i hope to see a lot of poor souls online late tonight. to show that they are also up and studying! ok bye
i know i know im supposed to be studying! barddd! a good laugh is always welcome~

another memorable valentines' day.
who says valentine day is just for couple. on the contrary, i think it's really sweet for friends to meet up on a day that is supposedly meant for lovers. what is it called again spread the love yo!
valentine's day is making me eat a lot. oreo cheesecakes, the chocolate boonyen gave, the candies that yiling gave~ and although the food was meant for my mugging, i just keep eating while watching teevee.
speaking of oreo cheesecake, i think it's getting better now, especially now i discovered the important catalyst to success in baking cheesecake, the ever crucial factor: electronic blender. and at night, powerhouse. the world's really smallll.. everyone knows anyone this isn't right, right?

if yesterday was an ice creamy day, today's a part of yesterday as well. what if i end up like a haato addict like val! this cannot be done! yesterday was just an episode of what lengths will an ice cream addict go for the sake of ice cream. first, we made our way to suntec, only to realize the outlet wasn't open yet, bussed down to tanglin area, where we realized they are no longer selling waffles ( that i craved badly for), and finally, cabbed down to Holland area, where we frolicked there, and played bridge and taboo till my sister came and drove us back.
as the saying goes, eat and grow fat....
please do not come to past...
Seamanship is getting on my nerves, and i feel like burning the notes after the test tomorrow. /war-cry
nonetheless, i'm still going to watch my american idol on cable at six. yes people, the beauty of cable. you can watch the episode earlier than people without cable.

i think roomie has an evil plan up her sleeves. she wants us to turn into haato addicts with her. three tubs shared between 5 people and im snacking on some strawberry champagne now. sinful i know.
bridge was pretty fun today. and of all the games we played from daylight till nightfall, there's two games that i just can't get over. not bragging or whatever, but i played the two games with my breath held almost throughout the rounds. holy craap!
exams are round the corner, but my mind is filled with "To have fun plans"! this is real bad.
(a blessing going somewhere to happen)

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
-from prissy's LJ, which she took from lindy's FB-
inspiration eh?
random in the randomnest
1. i slept at ten yesterday night, thinking i would be able to wake up to study the next day, cause i thought exam's at 6 in the evening. to my horror, i mixed CRAA timing and UCCD timing up. so thank god peiwen gave me the saving call. that also meant, i didn't really complete my revision. but thank god, i managed to do the paper. hopefully a pass the least.and i've been applying uccd the whole of today. mr potato should be proud.
2. went JURONG POINT today to watch CCBB. call me a crybaby as you wish, i cried 4 times or so today. please watch. it's for your own good, you and your aging mind.
3. cause there's no more soft drinks in the fridge, my sister resorted to an alternative, carlsberg beer. i swear it's got nothing to do with me. she brought the can out

i woke up this morning, wanting to eat chicken shawama shapapa. the next time i'm going simpang, i will definitely order that and my all time favorite drink, root beer float. (las, when will you come to the east to have the company that you love so much?)
I WANT WATCH CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON! I WANT EXAMS TO FINISH FAST! I WANT MORE TIME!
cny's gonna end, so will my gambling spree. i guess, this's the best cny i have in singapore so far. of course, last year's cny is unbeatable.

a tgif that i thought was not possible, due to the impending project deadline and exams, proved me corrected as i went out with yiling and boonyen yesterday. the whole day was a whirlwind and honestly left me standing, still is, in awe how fickle minded and bloody random we are. it started off the moment we left school and headed to beat's sister's bball match, which we played...only after the whole game, which got us wanting to play more, and hopefully we will be able to play today after simpang.
went back to Queenstown Sec with the team and had a guided tour by the old alumnus of Quest, boonyen. going back to a secondary school and watching the bball match makes me want to go back to my old secondary school days, when life is just about studies, friends, and fun. when hardly anyone can fault you for flawing and faulting.
yesterday was also the day that i had enough of travelling. as though these two places don't require much travelling, we bussed over to far east after dinner that consisted of fuzhou fishballs that i love a lot. and at some point, yiling suggested st james. so it was shock shock horror horror and okays from boonyen and i.
and the most amazeeng thang of the whole impromptu let's-go-clubbing-thing, is that the three of us bought new top/dress/heels for some other reasons, and we decided we should put them into good use for the special night. speaking of my top, im darn in love with it. (by and yl should know it well). i'm head over heels and heels over head with holy sacred top that i bought, almost without hesitating and i donned it in a pulse or two.
the trip to st james was seemingly short when time on the bus was spent on camwhoring that boonyen never seemed to get tired of. and st james is a little boring. but there's this magician,charm, who entertained us. well, he, as his name suggested, charmed the socks(not that we are wearing) off our feet.
and for records, i'd like to clarify some misunderstandings and misconceptions that arose last night when i was out with yiling and boonyen.
1. i'm so not a clubwhore, i was merely fulfilling yiling's desire, like how i fulfilled her wish of braiding her hair 2. boonyen,i'm definitely not a tyrant in relationship! 3. i dance like a fool and yes i do.
p.s. do not reveal the UNSPEAKABLES i said, or maybe even did last night. and in case anyone's wondering, i wasn't drunk at all against many's wish to see me get drunk.
and i love my queen B. and ma jie hohoho!
maybe i'm starting to love my class too, when half of it starts bonding over 21 in school. and i do mean school: lecture halls, classrooms, foodcourt, anywhere that has tables and chairs. but, year 2 just ended without giving it much credits. year 3 will just keeps getting better.

school ended early, but not that early as three of us were attempting bee-lor project. but that's not the main event of the day. so supposedly ITP placement is out on sas today, but for me, and some other counterparts, our sas is as blank as a plain A4 paper.
and how did i get to know about it? quick ask me. okay i'll tell. aud was over at my place and we were happily eating dinner, when yiling called and dropped the bombshell on us and our asam fish.
and it's perfectly alright to cry when watching bride wars! (staring at khad) im a softie../shy

the plan not to watch the two singaporean-made movies out in the cinemas now was officially spoilt. love match is a pretty dumb show to me,and same goes for the wedding game that i watched just last week before going to REBEL. i think i should just stick to hollywood show no matter what. there's a reason why hollywood is so fabultastic.

im waiting for the NINE to come out! it's gonna be a long wait, seeing that it hasn't even finish its production yet. star-studded movies are worth the watch really.
today was a relaxing and really enjoyable day out with roomie, jun and jo. "luckily" for alast, val's cam died on her and we can't find a disposable camera. OH WELL~ other than that, heaven smiles at us, giving us the breeze, and clouds, and well.. the peace and serenity that i have been craving for these few weeks while rushing for projects.
and with 7 hours of sleep left, i'm going to jump into bed right the moment the light on my computer screen goes off.
one more thing, directions and me repel each other. ugh.
*** i love going church and listen to pastor prince's preach.truly truly amazing. so yesterday was the relaxing day out. it's just island creamery, botanic garden, bridge, madjack and long bus ride home. and to take the wrong bus home from tampines interchange even after taking that bus service for all my life, is pure idiocy. laugh all you want at my direction sense. /embarrassed
and how ignorant can i get. i just got to know my cousin got engaged for over a year already. why doesn't anyone inform me about such things? or is that i just can't be bothered. i just want my oldest sister to get engaged, and get married soooonnn! cause: i will have angbao from her i will have a niece/nephew from her i will get a bigger share of the room i will see hello kitty no more
