I Want 2007 To Be A...

X Panic! At The Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies

it is an astonishment that i have made it till now. because i know of some people who didnt. these 18 years have been sun rising from the west to the east, colourful-rainbow-like, water rushing down the gutters, tsunasarschickenwar, if you know what i mean.

18 years of breathing in dirt and the almost-fresh air in this most-of-the-time-sunny(maybe not) island. witnessing the most incredulous things happening around the world and the omgwtfbbq politics going on around in singapore; quite a blast, i must say.

out of 18 years, i spent 4 years figuring out my ABCs and123s, 6 years to figure out what education is, and another 4 years to finally realise that education in singapore actually ruined me. the other 2 years are actually for me to reflect what ive said in the previous sentence. in most situations, good things come naturally if you 1. are born rich or a genius 2. work your ass off unless you are suey. then ha, sorry it aint my problem so please stop staring at this sentence this way.

i ruined my own future. ALMOST ruined it. but i will get it back, with both of my hands and my ass duh! good things in singapore never come easy. thus, we should strive hard to earn what we deserve.

i would want 2007 be a better year; me being a better person; achieving with even better results. note : BETTER

with this i wish everyone a smashing 2007. peace

Get A BF!

X Blink-182 - I Miss You

its 2 days away from the new year and iraq tryant, saddam hussein got his sentence at 6am sharp in the morning. i felt sorry for the old man, who was unable to see the new year and his family who kept in vigil. by the way he is executed by hanging.

then my friend nigel snapped,"who is gonna feel sorry for those people he killed?"

okay point taken. what comes around goes around.

2 more days to the new year, and i must say im not really prepared for the new year. seriously, i am not. apparently people around me are really excited, looking forward to the new year; i dont really see myself feeling that. in fact i was wondering what on earth i should be doing and preparing myself for the new year when i actually came out with a list of what i should be doing :

be a better person in general

becoming more sociable

work my ass off to a great bod and work my ass off again to get into my desired course in poly

get a boyfriend; though i still think my friends rank #1

stay happy, strong, confident and positive

seems pretty simple to accomplish...fuck no! i wished! haha nothing comes easy without the determination and the drive. therefore i will strive to achieve what i really want in 2007. wish me luck and love, friends. (:

Baking with Friends!

X FF10 Soundtrack - Zanarkand

sigh, samme you shouldnt fall ill, or else i would have been clubbing with you right now not only with good music, free cover, with a glass of bourbon sipping off my mouth and the newest double O membership card with so so many YUMMY privileges la.*heaves a large sigh*

i didnt sleep yesterday. swear the fact that i feel like shit now. earlier on, my classmates came over my place to bake cookies and cake. its my first time i have so many friends come visiting my house. surely that is something worth remembering. what an over whelming experience!

ps: i have to apologise to you guys cos im feeling really tired and excited at the same time, feeling bad cos i think i didnt do well as a host.


i cant wait for more visitings; they really make me happy.

meanwhile, enjoy holidays friends. (: today was great, thanks for the fun. =3 and i almost forgot! thanks my dearest sister to help me with the cooking and cleaning up. hope you love savouring my food.

i cant wait to write my story.

Merry Fucking Christmas Y'all

X The Reveonettes - The Christmas Song


alright, its really MERRY CHRISTMAS. so uh, MERRY CHRISTMAS.

i tried sleeping but apparently the TV shows airing were so entertaining i skipped beauty sleep which doesnt really matter. cant wait for the meet up with my girls in the afternoon and also we'll be having a night over at sam's as usual (please let me leave a towel over your place sam).

took a short nap and i knew that my energy is going to be totally drained by our night activities. i mean, picture 3 crazy girls. alcohol,gossips, cute guys and HOTEL, baby! lol i know. GIRLY

had a wonderful time at Essential & Brew located at Holland V. its my second visit and i still like that place. the coziness, all warm and fuzzed makes you feel more like home rather than being in a restaurant. they played cheesy music, i love the dimmed lights and the beautiful lightings decorated hanging loosely on the huge glass window. and this time i actualy enjoyed the food they serve for the very first time. had this sandwich that has a generous serving of medium rare beef patty, sautee shitake mushroom and melted cheese. the combination was perfect and the cheese and mushroom literally melted in my mouth. heavenly! okay enough this is making me hungry again.

though time flies fast, the time i spent with the girls are uncountable, unreasonable, unexplicable, in a good way duh. we went through all the silly things in life, falling for stupid people and saying 'fuck' out of the blues. we did many first times together and that feeling is great. nothing beats doing first times together; that feeling is just amazing. ps: love you girls.

we had bourbon; damned i wished i have a few more glasses. i love burbon! and the packet of cheese curlies i got from 7-11. the game of HOTEL is challenging -- its so business la. haha anyway, sam fell ill all of a sudden. could see it on our way back to her place actually. she looked kinda pale and i was worried. the night ended soon after sam fell dead on the sofa and ave trying to sum up the last game of HOTEL. oh she fell dead on the floor too.

so im all left alone. lol whatever

before im done with this entry, something to reminise the older times -

christmas'05

Santa Got Pwned

X N'Sync - O Holy Night

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

White Christmas

X Nat King Cole - White Christmas

i cant wait for christmas. where people gather close, warm, fuzzy wuzzy, lovey dovey. i can give up all my days just for christmas, just this day to spend with the ones i really truly appreciate and love.

when i was a kid, i celebrated every single year of christmas with my family; that feeling, i tell you was great. till now its still as great, just that i have lesser people celebrating it with me.

my dad, my sis and me -- in celebration for christmas. no presents, but home made cookies and cooking, of course. it was a small athering, but i make sure that everyone is happy and jolly; its very important for me. extremely important for me.

and every year spent, something is missing. the christmas spirit, the feel for christmas wasnt as strong. its not as happy or joyous as compared with the past. and just a few days ago, while i was ransacking some of my old cassette tapes; ya you've heard me, cassette tapes. and i suddenly stumbled upon this which says "Nat King Cole Greatest Christmas Songs". i clumsily placed the cassette into my hi-fi player, rewinded it and played.

soft, vintage sounded kind of christmas went "I'm dreaming, of a white..Christmas" i went YES, thats it! the answer lies in the music!!! and so, while listening to the carols sung by mr. sexy voice, nat king cole, i started making my christmas cards. i hope all of my friends loved it, stayed up the whole night to complete them.

and now ive completed them and got all my songs lined up, i guess christmas spirit's back, BACK with the capital B. (:

I AM SO FUCKING PISSED.

guess what? remember my old blogsite with one of the prettiest names http://eumorphapandorus.blogspot.com? guess what did it turn into?

THIS FUCKED UP PIECE OF SHIT.

Ever

X Missy Elliot - For My People

ever
will someone ever hear my cries?
the grief and pain i feel inside
taking my happiness away like wind and sand
leaving me alone to bleed and tear

will they ever hear my voice?
of every single word of truth and lie
they'd only deny
and leave me bleed a river to die

will they hear my song?
where love and trust embrace in arms
people dancing, singing songs
hopes and dreams soon come along

will they ever learn to hear
my cries, my songs, my voice so clear
will they ever learn to bear
the grief, the pain, the denial remain

why cant we live life the way we want it to be?
appreciate the beauty of the good and the ugly?

A Survival Guide For All Men.

apologies lijing! was supposed to invite this cute lady over to my place for cookie baking, but due to the fact im having family day and my dad would want to rest home, we decided to do it another day instead.

guess where did we go for family day?

MELLBEN SEAFOOD @ AMK!

the queue = long = waiting time = long = GOOD FOOD

crab in hot pippin' butter sauce

chilli crab with mantou* (buns)

famous seafood toufu

the day was saved then again by GOOD FOOD! despite the extremely long waiting time i.e 1 hour for a pathetic sit in the coffee shop, i guess the wait was worthwhile. the crabs were huge and really i swear, fresh, fleshy and juicy.

my favourite was the mantou and the butter sauce crab. its addictive! especially the sauce! while feasting on the crab, i was figuring out what made it so aromatic and what made the meat so tender when suddenly out of the blues i thought it might be it. i'll definitely not tell you what is, but when the time i whip a dish like this, i hope my taste buds did help me.

it was a pity i did not try the vermicelli with crab in rich white sauce. its their specialty and yet i didnt have the chance to. dang! maybe next time round. haha

they were comparing between Ah Leong's and Mellben's as they are just situated opposite each other. equally popular serving almost similar dishes. had not try Ah Leong's though. anyone wanna join me for Ah Leong's?

*rubs tummy* thanks jason for the dinner! <3

Handcuffed Guy

X Blue - If You Come Back

ive just made a conclusion :

if you are offered or invited to a clubbing event, just GO. DONT hesistate, especially when the invites are free and the flow are free.

this is not trying to be suaku/kiasu singaporean, but i just missed one funky event @ The Clinic. if youve heard of it. yes, it's clinically proven and gives you adversed side effects of becoming high and with much much love, baby.

you tell me la, how not to be gek xim*?

anyway, my girlfriend jing sent me this forwarded message that is so hilarious i almost puked my dinner. here is :

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

(Hardly seems worth it.)

If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

(Now that's more like it!)

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.

(O.M.G.!)

A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.

(In my next life, I want to be a pig.)

A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death.

(Creepy.) (I'm still not over the pig.)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour

(Don't try this at home, maybe at work)

The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.

(Honey, I'm home. What the...?!)

The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.

(30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?)

The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.

(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)

Some lions mate over 50 times a day.

(I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)

Butterflies taste with their feet.

(Something I always wanted to know.)

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

(Hmmmmmm.....)

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.

(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.

(Okay, so that would be a good thing)

A cat's urine glows under a black light.

(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

(I know some people like that.)

Starfish have no brains

(I know some people like that too.)

Polar bears are left-handed.

(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer)

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

(What about that pig??)

Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread these crazy facts and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to, maybe even a chuckle.

In other words, send it to everyone !

(and God love that pig!)

okay i guess you eyes must be quinting like hell. will talk more tomorrow.

wait! im not done yet. i fergot something really important i want to mention and that is earlier this afternoon, while waiting for the lift, this kaypo auntie whom i know had this very pale looking facade told me that CID and the police are at my block to arrest this guy who apparently, from what i heard resides at the 12th storey. and im wondering MY GOD what the fuck did that guy do?

so i acted fast, pressed the button and patiently waited for the lift to stop so i can catch a glimpse of that guy. apparently, when the lift stopped at my storey, 6 law enforcers and a young guy who carried this scent of familiarity which i cant detect looked at me. they gave me this "you sure you want to come in? besides i guess there isnt much space for you, mdm" look. i flushed and apologised duh, as they continue to make their way down.

as soon i took the next lift, i walked swiftly in search of that group. aha! that guy is indeed in cuffs! shit thats so fucked up. really wondered what he do. i mean, dont you think its pretty scary to have a law breaker to live under the same roof as of you? i swear i'd have shitted on my pants if i know he is my neighbour and is a serial killer. but in regards of this young man, i still dont know what offence he made.

gek xim* - frustrated

seriously, you just fucked up.

Fuged Up Brows

X Jessica Simpson - I Belong To Me

did Jessica Simpson really snip her hair off in this MTV? because if she did, then woah! as a woman, i really have to salute her. because no mad woman would do that in national tv and furthermore the status of a superstar.

i can relate this song so much that i feel it instantly. not in a bimbo way most definitely, but something more close to the heart.

okay putting that aside i went to shape my fugly disorientated brows today and i am so so so so satisfied with the threading services that samantha and i signed up a package. so we will go thread our brows together every 3 weeks. woohoos! i think thats the most girliest thing ive ever done in girly history! ha ha ha

no pictures for today's advanture, neither do i want to do the before and after ones because they just gives me the creeps. spare me! but one thing i must state that:

all women/girls MUST take TREMENDOUS care of their skin.

all women/girls SHOULD shape their brows at least ONCE.

and that person who did my brows was a pro at her best.

interesting huh.

finally! its the last day of my school term! though it's just a 15-day holiday, i think i will enjoy pretty much because know why? because once school reopens, i have 3 more months before graduation! something that im looking forward since day1 of school! ha. wish me luck!

anyway to all reading this, have a smashing holiday; Merry Christmas in advanced (sorry this year im going on budget so therefore no presents) and a fucking fucked up 2007-in-advanced. hmm i wonder how fucked up its going to be. lol

sing along this lyrics to the song. its bitter-sweet beautiful.

Tonight I Wanna Cry
(Monty Powell / Keith Urban)

Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away

Chorus:I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-contro
lBut I'm just drunk enough to let got of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry

Would it help if I turned a sad song on
"All By Myself" would sure hit me hard now that you're gone
Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters
It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better
But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way

(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)

Label Whores & The Rainbow

X PCD - Buttons

if you are wondering why i have not been blogging or going online these few days, well... im studying. ow! whats with that look? i do study alright, its just... RARE, thats all. besides no matter how much i try stuffing in leaks out. so, i dont really get it.

anyway, the test turned out pretty alright i supposed. scoring an A is subjective, and i shant say much about it because it can make me snap right away.

cant believe this. im actually typing this entry now because my eyes are semi-shut and my mind's neither really here nor there. just feeling very drained and restless; i have not been sleeping regularly therefore explains the irritate.

seriously, ive got an EC in school. although i wont reveal who that is (who on earth is ever so stupid to tell this to everyone?!) but you can try guessing (lol like you can..HA HA) i guess its a first sight thing. he caught me by the eye, like a fish on a hook, gives me the chills and looks of those really down to earth. there's this something about him that im attracted to, however i have no idea what it is. too bad he's attached. (apparently not married! *sniggers) hey thats not being a bitch. and bitches dont do that! its just being girly. girl thing, okay?! *flings the feather boa around and prances*

hur.

another thing. i dont have a good impression on label whores. apparently label whores can be very generalised so i will just scan down to this group called the 'i-love-"branded"-schools-cos-the-cool-and-hott-are-there-and-so-i-want-to-be-their-best-friend-too" like, HELLO they are not the only cool and hott people around alright? haha ive tried that before(aeons ago) and seriously its quite a turn off; so hey, get a life aye? -- which i did *smirks

5mins ago, shawn went aw-ing and aw-ing in msn and i wondered what happened. he continued by saying,"i can see a rainbow out from my window and its beautiful." at this point some girls would go, "huh you mean guys appreciate such things?gay." haha meet shawn. he sent me this folder of pictures of the rainbows taken and i must say that I LOVE RAINBOWS! the pictures; BEAUTIFUL! will flash my favourite one here. enjoy and have a blast! (though tuesdays are boring -.-)

i wonder what lies within?

Baking is Fun!

X The Shins - Young Pilgrims

well, i baked cookies agian today! i forgot to take snapshots of the process though. but nevermind at least i did take shots of the cookies i baked. and i tell you, they taste twice yummier and better! kudos to me, quick! ha okay and now for the pictures..

my photography skills suck huh.

yeap. quite obvious it did.

oh did i mention i made white sauce seafood pasta too? haha it was my first time doing pasta using white sauce and the results were not too bad. i did bbQ wings too! and results were positive! my dad and sis did not enjoy the white sauce as i would know it myself; too much sour cream was added into the mix making the dish a little too dry and sour. but its alright, over all it aint that bad. on the other hand, the wings -- they simply loved it. it tasted just right; juicy and tender, fragrant too. even i myself was shocked with the results and that means, more chicken wings in future. ;9

cooking the pasta...

gross?! nah, its food sent down by heaven. lol

i call this dish, "Wings of Heaven"

**note : white sauce does not go well with macarooni

mama mia "astalavista?" is that how you spell it anyway? :s

If He

X Death Cab For Cutie - Marching Bands Of Manhattan

If he is infinitely good,
what reason should we have to fear him?
If he is infinitely wise,
why should we have doubts concerning our future?
If he knows all,
why warn him of our needs and fatigue him with our prayers?
If he is everywhere,
why erect temples to him?

-Percy Bysshe
Shelley

We Bloody Hypocrites

X Muse - Sunburn

"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. “Never leave that till tomorrow”, he said, “Which you could do today.” This is the man who discovered electricity. You’d think more of us would listen to what he had to say. I don’t know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I’d say it had a lot to do with fear.

Fear of failure. Fear of pain. Fear of rejection. Sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you’re wrong? What if you make a mistake you can’t undo? Whatever it is we're afraid of, one thing holds true: that by the time the pain of not doing the thing gets worse than the fear of doing it. It can feel like we're carrying around a giant tumor. And you thought I was speaking metaphorically.

The early bird catches the worm; a stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we haven't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to ‘seize the day'.

Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying. "

-Meredith from Grey's Anatomy

earlier on, my sis dropped my hamster from a high height. she fell on her back and apparently her nose bled. is she going to die? will she live? i almost cried as i carefully helped that puny furball wipe her blood off her nose. she struggled as if she is in hell of pain. i prayed.

its funny how we human treat each other sometimes. when X is still around, you treat him/her like they never existed and when you know X is going to die, all of a sudden your whole world revolves around with X.

**this does not only apply to a dying person.

we bloody hypocrites.

Love The Tongue

X Teriyaki Boyz - Beef Or Chicken

lets get this clear my dear singaporeans.

there is nothing wrong with singlish. neither is it wrong to be too chinese/malay/tamil or fabulous in english.

"yuck, why is she speaking so cheena/malay/tamil?"

or "kao why she speak so ang moh?"

or even "omg she speaks singlish! disgrace."

i dont see the issue. just because we are born with a mouth and tongue, that doesnt stop us from speaking whatever languages we want to. we are born this way. we can freely speak whatever languages we are equipped with but, learn when to speak what and when not to.

dont expect a frecnch waiter to understand your fluent singlish while making your order. or dont expect a pro-chinese to understand your best tamil when he does not even understand the very first word you spoke.

and therefore we learn english because its universal. dont act english and speak with westernized accent because we are born without the western accents. we develop the accent only if we are born with the genes or my parents and family speak this way; unless you are hugely influenced or trained to have it(ie. anchorman/woman, translator etc.) then ive nothing to comment on that. otherwise, we speak in our very own singaporean accent. *not singlish

**note that there are westerners or people of other races who dont understand/speak english

singlish. okay some commented that singlish should be banned in singapore. but then, come to think of it, its singlish that make singapore singapore. you get what im trying to say? with all the "lah, lor, leh", its definitly fun to a certain extent to speak singlish. surprisingly enough, it comes out pretty smoothly when you speak them. thats a pretty bold statement for me to say but yes its true. lets start loving singlish. not too overly, just dont lose it.

conclusion. love the tongue you are born with, it does not get your butt fried what (stated by nathaniel).

4 Days

X NB Ridaz feat. Angelina - Notice Me

a blog entry for approximately four days. hmm.

okay as i am counting my days to Christmas, there are quite a number of events that are going to happen or had happened.

• Mom's death anniversary.

• Milkshake @ Ministry of Sound on Sat 9 Dec (Sat)
• CRM Exams (Unit1-3) on 12th Dec (Tue)

oh stressful stressful.

anyway, can you people believe if i tell you i fell ill again? i guess i have unhealthy genes in me. ):
yesterday was a killer. woke up and started sneezing uncontrollably. my nose almost dropped off, i swear! i continued sneezing the whole day and by night, i fell asleep at 7pm, waking up at 2pm today. then i realised im running a fever, a sorethroat and still, a sneezy nose. fuck therefore i had to conclude that im not suitable to attend school (school's over, duh) and NO clubbing tonight (shit) well, guess i'll just have to stay up here to blog and whine about my stupid nose and those drippy mucus.
ugh what a GREAT day.

yeong does an impression on how she would feel in her next time falling ill.

Eric Clapton

X Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight

i love Eric Clapton. who doesnt?

yes my darling, you look wonderful tonight.

Do We Even Try?!

X Josh Groban - February Song

i caught a documentary on the tv in the bus while on my way to meet Samantha and Yihong. it featured this fully devoted caregiver mother, Ms Ho who cares and loves her only son, Jonathan, 9 who is suffering from cerebral palsy.

i dont really know what that really means, but when i finally saw the logo of the association which looks like this

okay, point taken.

and so despite of blasting my iPod for a change, i focused my attention to that miserable box and tried to understand what is actually going on with this kid. the scene started with this game of "Wheel Of Fortune" with a team who answered the puzzle correctly. it went "The Face Of A Mother Whose Love Never Dies".

Jonathan loves watching Wheel Of Fourtune. he is 9 and very charming. and he has cerebral palsy.

this medical condition affects the brain and causes the child to lose control of speech and body movements. and i guess it's all fated that Jonathan so happens to be one of them. but! that does not mean that he cant live normally despite his disability.

life does go on, you know. despite the short clip, it potrays life at its worst and best. i almost cried, i tell you. when Jonathan's mother carefully fed him and accompanied him to school, doing her best to do whatever she can for her son. she takes all chances, do we?

sometimes, i'd like to ask myself this question ,

"Do we even TRY?"

and the answer is NO. do not deny or lie through your teeth. because the fact is, we DON'T. many times ive tried asking myself how hard i try to take my chances or complete something or even change. but seriously, not hard enough. not my best. not even my 100%.

so when i was watching the 20-min clip. all these thoughts just ran wild in me, charging like horses on the rich green fields. it was emotional, and we should count our blessings.

bless you too, Ms Ho and Jonathan

the love is overwhelming. i really hope Jonathan feels the love his mom carefully gives him everyday. i think he does; his smiles proves so.
sometimes i wished whats real to be unreal, because the truth hurts. it does.

i wished that life were perfect but all it was were dreams. we are human.

as the piano played, memories came flashing back, only the beautiful and memorable ones though. as i was listening to the 10-minute piece, crazy it may seem, the memories started joining together, like jigsaws forming into a puzzle.

i would still remember the every saturdays my mom will bring me to Yaohan(aka Plaza Singapura now) for piano lessons, and right after that lovely dinner at this japanese-italian restaurant over at Park Mall.

and when i was in primary 1 till 3, we had this "keep your teeth clean" action, whereby all of us were given a cute mug along with a toothbrush and we will squat at the drains brushing our teeth after reccess.

remember the buddy system? where we were all attached with a senior and would hold hands with them queueing for food, finding a seat and eating with them. going for concerts and getting Bronze in SYF for HandBells. got 216 for my PSLE and my butt went flying to Yuying Secondary School.

in seconday school, when i was in secondary 1, i remembered i was bullied by a bunch of seniors and i cried profusely like a baby elephant. it was really embarrassing and seriously, i still dont know why i was bulied but, whatever.

there was once i hung out with JKO and yingzi and we would tuck out our uniform and hang around in Hougang Mall for nothing. i look like a tree trunk and i still think i do. then i started to hang out with samantha, yihong and aveline and then my life change forever.

when i was in secondary school, i was a leader in school, a loser in heart and another loser in studies. a bigt-time bitch and an arrogant person and i was an emo kid. life was always bad and i keep on complaining about life and whining like a baby (though i still do that sometimes but not often), sucidal tendencies and such. but seriously who am i cheating? haha

i love camps. they change me and my attitudes towards living. and 3 of them left the most impression on me and they are

• 2004 Annual Student Leadership Camp - "If We Hold On Together"
• Secondary 3 Camp- "CADDO POWER!!!"
• SJAB Anual Camp 2003- "IC!IC!IC!"

i flunked my O's but i carried on with life, because i know its not over, yet.

*shifts scene to current 2006*

im doing great in ITE, i think. well at least i know im doing my best to get my goal and i have to. I MUST. i think my best memories in ITE should be the Batam trip and the bazaar where my class and i had the most fun. sounds mundane, but actually it means a lot to us. (:

memories are meant to be part of your life. choose to keep some of the ugly and of course the best that ever happened to you. these things are kept deep inside. and will be archieves that i will bring to my grave.

Batam

i enjoyed the trip to Batam.

it was relaxing but very rushy. i definitely had a culture shock when i first stepped into Batam. it looks developing.. and still, developing. Batam is 1 hour earlier than singapore which means i feel younger? HA.

Batam looks like singapore 40 years ago. with busy cars and little traffic lights and i guess, rules too. the common races found in Batam are the Malays and the Indo-Chinese, seldom see Indians though. communication wise are simply Malay and Mandrain. however, the national language is Malay therefore all kids in Batam learn Malay as their mother tongue. and that means i cant really communicate with these people except for my broken Mandrain and using the simplest English i can to do my shopping.

and their currency are like banana notes. -.-

and so i went shopping with my girls and it was fun. elizah brought her 14 yr old cousin, candice whom i cant believe i would get a long so well with and not to forget lijing, the love of my life (hahaha)

my first stop was at a Ralph Lauren shop. okay now people, a little something that i know in Ralph Lauren in Batam is that they look fake, however its authentic due to the fact that the RL in Batam is registered under Ralph Lauren. so what im trying to say is that the RL looks fake but its actually the real stuff, if you get what i mean.

then off to this mall BCS mall i think! and i got two bottles of perfume, both fakes but smells real. and off to another mall, DC mall and got myself another two bottles and some freshly made keropok and kueh lapis. seriously, these Indonesians are really good at this shit and they taste shittily yummy.

oh and if you are wondering which perfume ive got, they are

• Ralph Lauren Polo Sport
• Burberry London
• Escada Paradise
• Davidoff Woman

all 4 smells spanking real, i tell you. even the bottles look real. and guess how much i got them for? you will kill me if you'd know the price. its 8SGD and its REAL DEAL okay.

speaking of branded goods, Batam has TOOOO MANY fakes. fakes as in real fake fake, not looking fake but real. from LV to VSL to GUCCI to PRADA. seriously, TOO MANY.

my last pit stop was at the hypermall which i fergot what its called. i got myself a rusty trucker cap and a rusty wallet for my sis. also, got her a adidas tee and guess how much it costs? SGD13!

conclusion : we need more doses of shopping in Batam.

Batam is not only a place for sex trade, its also a place where everyone is familiar with, many cultures and colours. people though less fortunate, enjoy whatever they have instead of us singaporeans still complaining. just dont get it haha

the children, they look so happy. oh do you know kids attend school on saturdays as well? and they have field trips too. though people laughed at me when i squealed, "oooohhh! look outside! kids having field trips!" which made me blush la. singapore kids should know how lucky they are with what they have. its just an hour trip and stepping into a foreign country who are not so lucky is quite depressing.

ive learned a lot in this trip and i was happy. happy with shopping with girlfriends, of course!

5 A.M

its funny. i woke up at 5 in the morning and yet i could not take the earliest train. okay maybe i spent more time in the bathroom thats why.

oh im beginning to like the mac in harbourfront. they provide you with internet services, just like the one in changi airport! and i know that doesnt really matter either.

i could smell pancakes and the burgers and its making me really hungry. its really tempting though. but i know if i wait, im gonna enjoy more than i expect in batam. they always say, "leave the best later" and now i know what it really means.

so random. shall stop typing. will talk about my trip later when im back. have a great day ya'll folks!

much love.

Ferry Me

im going to batam. (:

Daydreaming

you know how funny it feels to be alone in the class when everyone else is busy doing their thing? thats why ive decided to blog this entry.the mouse clicks are so irritating i swear i will burn down the computer lab. okay, that would be arson but i guess nobody cares either.

okay i guess im pretty alone now - with alicia being in korea enjoying skiing and kimchi and samantha hanging out with same name and the harajuku kids. ugh, so tempting. nevermind i still have my batam trip haha -.-


whatever.

oh guess what! i bought grey's anatomy season 2 and seriously you dont know how wide my eyes were opened when i see the DVD set laying on the racks in HMV. my face glowed with joy, most definitely. you dont know how long ive waited for this and now it finally got out from the hands of the censorship board. i wont be surprised plentiful of scenes were cut. ya'know what i mean. though it cost 10cents less to 80bucks, im still overjoyed because i am really intrigued by this drama. from how its directed, the scripts, the casts, the music..everything is just so cool and addictive! like poison. i wont mind being poisoned by grey's anatomy, really.

guess i wont be lonely anymore with this duing november. pray for me folks. (:

BORING!!!

i was invited to a private party. it was nothing, really. so unglam, no cocktail, no good music, no groove or vibes. one word : mundane.

the only things they had were :

• popcorn


• movies * tenaciousD, casino royale, step up


• e-gaming


• x-boxing


• goodie bags.
  

AND

• NO CUTE GAMERs/ PARTYGOERs
  

miserable. and so i ended up playing some e-games with my sis. and seriously you should just see the look on our faces. its as if the mummy has sucked our souls and our blood to replace his rancid meat. right that was disgusting but still, okay whatever.

and the next few hours we were still playing those e-gmaes and we finally waited for the hour for step up to be screened. and so i caught Step Up. it's pretty okay. nothing beats You Got Served and Take The Lead seriously. haha

okay nuff said.

Cry And Laugh And Cry Again

i would like to do a review on this book im currently reading. and i think it's the forth time i have been reading this book. you might think im crazy and yes i am beacuse the fact is, this book made me cry and laugh and cry and laugh and cry again. (oh you get my gist)

so what is so amazing about this book? let me tell you.

as many of you might have already heard about this author, Nicholas Sparks, has the flair for writing especially book genres of romance and more romance. and oh i am so going to get his collection of work because i believe his books are not only written with a spoonful of wit, a bowlful of humour, a tinge of sadness and not to mention, love.

"She smiled at me and I smiled at her and all I could do was wonder how I'd ever falen in love with a girl like Jamie Sullivan." - Landon Carter

he never thought he would, but he did anyway. this story potrays a romance between Landon Carter, the guy who claimed to have been in love but never thought he would ever fall for the daughter of Beaufort's Baptist minister, Jamie Sullivan.

"There was a time when the world was sweeter...
and something happened to a seventeen-year-old boy that would change his life forever." - A Walk To Remember

his life changed. he learnt about the joy of giving, the pain of loss and, most of all, the transforming nature of love. being with Jamie would show him the depths of the human heart and lead him to a decision so stunning it would send him irrevocably on the road to manhood...

a great book like this shouldnt be missed. the writer sets you into the story perfectly, as if its just happening right in front of your eyes. its simply amazing. you will laugh and cry, and even better, learn something in life. well, what say you?

Vibrancy

i wish for a vibrant life this christmas.

its really funny to say this but : i wonder what it's like to truly like and to be liked by someone

i guess it will be a great feeling or otherwise? so anyway, pardon me for sounding so..lovey dovey these days. am going to samme's place in a few moments and i just cant stop thinking. its like too many things running in a frenzy. and sometimes you just stare in the blank like what i did today earlier on my way home.

i dont really know what is going on, either. its just running - like mice on the threadmills, going on and on and on and on...as i feel the future nearing me, i just felt a surge of force sucking me; so hard that i can hardly breathe.

what's going on?

White

i had a dream.

everything was white. where are i? am i in heaven?
everything was vague and definitely blurry. i felt a tap on my shoulders and the hair on my arms stood. that hand seemed some sort of familiar; clammy, shockingly translucent and very frail looking. i tilt my head a little towards the arm..then to the shoulders..

the image started flickering, like those dim lit lights in an old hospital. i thought i heard something. however the sudden zephyr breezed past me, taking the image away and into the horizon. and i thought i saw a smile.

a smile.

Twitchy Guts

it started off with a twitch in my guts. then it completed with more squeezing and kneading. it paused and then continued in that cycle for the whole day. and thats my tummy for the day.

my tummy hurt so bad my head starts to hurt too. the suck-iest part were the unprofessional bus rides whereby the buses i sat in jerk to and fro, up and down like a lively carousel in the fair. and i swear i almost hurled what i ate and i would really pity if that hot babe had my barf all over her. imagine, Ralph Lauren's Ralph with my throw-outs? lovely.

well my day wasn't so well and so was my dad's. shit what is wrong with me today? ugh wish me for a speedy recovery. i will be just fine. *grits her teeth*

and therefore, i will survive.

Cocky Mofo

whats with all the cockiness man?

Takopachi

gee. town has nothing new. perhaps the trends and the crowds are ever changing, but the rest stays constant. so i went town with my sister and it was really exciting cos we are going to get a new phone! and well if you are wondering which phone she got, i'll tell you later in a bit.

we caught The Convenant earlier on and well, hot guys that you can never get your eyes off, cool stunts and magic. if you are more of a storyline person, seriously the show would not satisfy your needs in fact, it bores you to the core. however, if you go for a show that is packful of hunks and babes then yes, this is the right show just for you. and if you are those who love action-packed ones, this is just mediocre. its a 2 out of 5 unless you are rich and really, and i mean REALLY bored.

before that, we were roaming in HMV and i got my sis a Le Coq Sportif shoulder bag. i love it so much that i have decided to buy it for her due to the outstanding results she produced. no doubt she loved it. (: well, she deserved that bag ( and i deserved it too cos i bought that pretty bag for her ) will wear it on monday. ^^

speaking of which, shopping somehow made me real happy that day, though the shopping wasn't for me. i got myself 3 VCDs namely The Last Samurai, JarHead as well as Dead Poets Society great flicks and i just cant get over good films. i think good film makers make life so enriching and colourful with all these and i thank them.

we had lunch at sakae sushi. sakae sushi was good as usual but its the same food that we eat. BORING! and we ate takopachi for dinner. how nice. *shakes head in disgust*

okay nuff of that. in conclusion,
the day ended just like that. with all the crazy shopping and eating. we were happy. :D

The World Is Such A Funny Place

caught Million Dollar Baby earlier on and i think its one of the best ive caught so far. clint eastwood is the bomb baby. he is old and sexy; directs, acts and composes for this film.

so anyway, had this conversation with a friend earlier on and we were commenting about the politics of the common countries we know. and we come to a conclusion that the world of politics is nothing but a fucken screw-up. recalling what my dad always saying this to me:

"The world was created by men and eventually will be destroyed by men"

well how true. well, think again!

by the way, my friend switched the topic about environment. being a strong supporter of environmentalist, he stongly advising me to catch this film called An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore, if you know who is he. seriously upon browsing the website, it looked so good and convincingly convincing that i wanna catch that myself.

the world is such a funny place. haha

Destress, Friends!

TO ALL A LEVEL STUDENTS, YOU GUYS HAVE COME THIS FAR TO COMPLETE THIS TASK; WITHOUT A DOUBT, ALL EFFORTS AND STRENGTH PUT INTO. JUST WANT TO WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN YOUR PAPERS. KUDOS TO ALL OF YOU! YOU ARE THE CHAMPION!

Creep

Creep
Radiohead

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell I'm doing here?
I don't belong here

She's running out again
She's running out
She runs runs runs

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

Food & Fashion

a random question : will you feel tired after waking up from a dream of yours when you ran like hell?
cos i did and i was wondering is it only me or does everyone feels the same.

anyway, i have a self confession to make.

i adore nicole richie & lindsay lohan! they're my favourite fashion icons.

glam pussies.

fashionistas.

they're fabulous.

nicole : despite her being anorexic, she still remains hot. her sense for fashion is original and lucreative.

for those who dont know, she actually made me have the hots for fashion. especially vintage and retro fashion. her "fetish" for funky chunky shades made fashion so much fun. the playing of colours, the kind of shoes, the "to-wears" and "wear-nots", she knows it best. and she seldom screws it. and thats what i like about her : being confident and know what she really wants.

lindsay : lindsay? this girl is simply irresistable. usually, people gets freaked out if they see you having too many freckles on your body.

but lindsay showed the world that with freckles, you can look beautiful too. and not only the freckles, her voluptuous body made guys drool...wait. not only guys please, the girls do drool about her too and nevertheless her sense for fashion is another.

i want to be the nicole richie/lindsay lohan now. (:

also, i want to be a chef; i think whipping lovely dishes for people i love is a gift and therefore is a blessing. and i simply enjoy doing it cos that makes me happy. i would like to invite some of my friends over to try my cooking some day. :D whipped a simple dinner earlier on and my daddy and sister loved it. my sis and dad even ranked a 4 out of 5 for my dishes! haha thats what i really want to hear. anyway, am going to post some pictures of my dishes. they arent really good shots neither does it look good in it cos its already 1/2 eaten. if you want to try my culinary skills, date me or even better, propose to me to be your gf or wife. like, ya right.

shall talk less. pictures :

wanna learn culinary from me?
