Sorry for the dry blogging spell. I think i kinda lost my passion for blogging. plus I've been busy so blogging wasnt exactly a top priority. Well here's a summary of what's been happening in my life so far:
1) Arts O week was great!
2) Lost my brand new ez-link that had a hybrid concession worth $98.
3) Made friends
4) Got the modules that i wanted- Soci, psych, cnm, German and Genes
5) School's starting really soon

Ok there. wasn't that hard to summarise my past weeks.
Ok here's a quick shout out to Drina my dear : HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MY DEAR!!! HOPE YOU LIKE THE BOOKS WE GOT YA! (: I love you tons! Ps try to look on the brighter side of life ok love(:

Get on your boots

A really quick update before i finish packing for the camp and sleep. haha. Well its not really a camp more like an orientation week thingy. So anyhoo, went down to NUS to register, collect our student card, ez link and submit our forms. Once more i have an ugly photo for my card. ugh. Oh but how exciting today was!!!

It started with Faj driving us (ting, Marrissa and I) to NUS. I can't believe I've reached a stage where my friends can drive around. WOHOO!!! So anyways when I got my card I felt finally like I was an official NUS student! It felt awesome! So anyhoo we headed to the cca fair. well we were separated anyways. I stuck with Faj who knew so many people from the camp. Signed up for a few CCAs. and then we headed to Ion. Faj's driving is really ok. But i guess her only problem is navigating around Spore. I mean all new drivers would have the same problem so no worries ok faj! you did awesome!

Walked around Ion. blah blah blah. And went home to start packing and finalising the modules I wanted.

Cant wait for Oweek. will update soonish!

Just spent the day in front of the laptop watching the FASS talks online. Initially i wanted to go down to NUS but woke up late and I was just so tired. Since they had a live video streaming of the talks, why not right? thank god for technology!

Well yesterday was an eventful day to say the least. Met up with babes [all with the exception of Sak who has school ): ] We had brunch at Swensens United Square before heading to Udders. Swensens meal was definitely worth my money. I have no idea how they are able to sustain the 1 for 1 deal. They're prolly making their profits from quantity of people going there instead of the usual inflow of people. Smart. We decided not to have desert there and try Udders since all of us have yet to try the ice cream there. The flavours offered were kinda novel so i guess its cool. During our meet up, there was a lot of cam whoring, talking bout uni, talking about our future and love, shows, ghost stories etc. Ack! The ghost stories are freaky shit! I told all my siblings about the Keropok Lady. They're all paranoid now and so am I. Silly me did more research and that made me more terrified of this supposed keropok lady. I usually don't believe in such stories, but i have no idea why I'm scared by this particular tale. anyhoo: I LOVE Y'ALL GIRLS!

I had to pass bracelets to someone who had ordered them from the carnival so we headed to Dhoby Ghaut to pass them to her. She was however 30 mins late!! how rude right. Thank god for jasvin and drina who stayed with me or i would have been bored to death! granted the girl was apologetic, but seriously?! half an hour?? and she kept lying about her location which was irritating. jas who i recently discovered, loves pressuring people (for fun) then called her and chided her for me, and I'm kinda grateful for that. I guess I don't really like confrontations. So anyhoo we waited and waited and when she finally arrived 30 mins later, i passed the bracelets to her and hurried with Jas to Orchard to grab some stationery for school while Drina headed for cheer training.

I didn't get stationery cuz Jas wasn't too thrilled bout Muji and I wanted to go with someone who'd have fun choosing them with me. kinda irrational, but still. haha. sorry Jas. (:

Ps: does anyone know a good fabric shop. preferably a place with different prints, textures etc? I'm looking for a beret kinda material cloth. My mom watched an episode of Martha steward and they taught viewers how to make a beret. I want one and she needs someone to make it for. Win win :D

When I got home, a whole different event happened. Called anje at night to tell her and msn-ed the rest. (jas and sak weren't online so I'll tell y'all another day ok *winks*) Ugh so disturbing. ps to you girls don't tag abt the issue ok. hahahah. its kinda not out in the open. yet.

Nothing like you and I

2009-07-23T01:23:00.003+08:00

Just spent the past 3 hours making chunky beaded bracelets cuz I've been putting off making them (carnival orders!) (yes i know its a little long)

So anyhoo spent the day with Jasvin (: We first headed to Chinatown Centre to grab some of the stuff i needed for making the items. We then moved to Starbucks SSC to make them. Jas was a great help! Thank you so much Jas (: We both bought the same drink- Caramel Frap with coffee Jelly. aahhaa. nice. hers was without the whipped cream though :P. At around 7 we left for some shopping and Daiso. She bought 2 dresses from Cotton on. I really really really wanted to get this dress which was on sale but i managed to stop myself. It feels good to be able to resist. but it really sucks to give up on a great deal!! ugh. when we went to Daiso, she was amazed, as was I, initially with the prices and the variety of stuff you could get from Daiso. Amazing right! We parted ways at around 8. Thank you so much dear for helping me. It was so fun. esp our little failed experiment with the iced water :P

Meeting up with the rest of the gang tmr, oh wait today. Can't wait. I think Jody might join us too. not too sure though. :) nights :)

Being unappreciated is the worst feeling in the world and i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy in the world (ok i may. but only for my worst-est enemy. (yes i know the word worst-est doesn't exist. and yes i was kidding.)

I hate not having a maid. Its hasn't even been a week but i hate it so so so much. I mean just because I'm the one thats not schooling at the moment makes me the family's mule?? "Nadia take this." "Nadia cut this." "Nadia could you vacuum the house?" Goddamn it! I am not the freaking maid! There are 4 other children in the bloody house! ugh. I can't wait to start school. I wouldn't have to do much anymore.

So anyhoo, met up with Jon and HG yesterday. I love love love chilling with them. Hanging out with them is a whole lot different then when I'm with the girls. Its good different. So surprisingly I was the earliest. (cuz usually when I'm with them I'm not the earliest, Jon is.) Left home too early, desperately needed to escape from the chores. So while waiting for them at Vivo, I headed to Candy Empire. Got some stuff and then met them at Breeks, Habourfront. I had the Caesar Salad with Sliced Mushrooms. No its not a pathetic dieting tactic, I had lunched at home alr. The mushrooms were raw but unexpectedly good.

We went back to Vivo and went walking around. Gawd it was horrid knowing i couldn't buy anything. I am proud to say that i didn't succumb to temptation. I even resisted buying Jibbitz at the Crocs store, which was particularly hard. Walked, talked, laughed,shopped (well HG did anyways). Ended with coffee at Starbucks as usual.

Can't wait to meet them again soonish. :D

Oh gawd i should really stop shopping. like immediately.

Went to register for Oweek with Ting today. I cant wait!!! Its gonna be so much fun! So after registering, we headed to the food court at Marina Square for lunch. Then came the bad part.... Shopping. It started with the Crocs store where i bought more jibbitz. My crocs are so pretty now!!! I love them so much. My love for crocs is as illogical as me reading the Twilight Series 4 times. I know it doest make much, or to some ppl -any sense, but its love, what more can i say.

Look at my pretty pretty Crocs. I LOVE JIBBITZS!!!

It started at Crocs. Then we went to Dorothy Perkins where they were having this awesome sale. I got this floral dress at $29! What a steal! I also purchased what i call lazy pants, they're actually called Hareem Pants, at $23. Super good deal. I know. Ting lent me her Fashion Forward discount card which lowered the total cost to $46 only!!! how awesome!

We headed to Zara next where i spent again! But this time Ting also got a pair of uber cute wedges!!! i would've gotten the same pair if i hadn't decided to get a pretty dress with pockets for $30 and a pair of shorts at $30 too. I really really wanted to get the wedges though. I'm even contemplating going back. though i know i should stay away. far far far away.

We then visited Hula and Co. i almost bought more dresses but rationalised. Ting bought this adorable dress that would go so well with snickers. We walked around a little more before heading home.

When i got home i sorted my purchases that i have been accumulating for the past month or so that i haven't even started using. And it is scary. There are shopping bags piling up and its horrid! I feel so guilty looking at them, knowing that i should've exercised more restraint but didn't. *bows head in guilt and shame*

When i first accumulated my purchases.

A little neater. just a wee bit neater.

On one hand I feel so happy with my purchases cuz they're all terrific deals and look great. Plus I'll need more clothes for uni right? and I'm helping the economy rebuild, no matter how small my contribution is compared to the multi billion other companies are spending. ugh what a weak point. i disgust myself. lol.

On the other hand, I shouldn't be spending so much, considering that i should be saving up for difficult times (touch wood) and i shouldn't have bought so much clothes. So now I'm in between feeling upset and delirious. i know i don't make much sense now but its true. its like a 50-50 thing. I cant feel upset cuz they're awesome buys but i cant feel too happy cuz I've been spending my dad's money. So how?

I shall not buy anymore clothes for the next month. Thanks ting for the tips. hahaha. I shall try to not spend. Scratch that. I WILL NOT SPEND! So you guy, if i don't shop its not cuz i don't want to. I really do, but the temptation's too much. hahahha. sorry.

Ok then till my next post (:

This is me

2009-07-17T01:41:00.003+08:00

Made the perfect collage today. with all parts of my life. now the collage is truly complete. i love it!

Come on get higher

2009-07-15T21:04:00.003+08:00

Aww my maid has left us for good. It is only now that i truly appreciate her. Seriously. She finally decided to go back to her family after giving us 4 years of her service. I miss her. Hmm i don't know whether i miss having the choice to ask her to help me do stuff or i actually miss her. I think i really actually miss her.

Anyhoo i went to Orchard with my mom yesterday to do some shopping. We bought a wallet for my maid from Tangs. We had a farewell dinner for my maid yesterday evening. My sis bought an Oreo Cheesecake which was yummy! :)

This morn when i was sending her off, I felt sad having to say goodbye to her, forever. Firstly cuz I'm not good with goodbyes. Secondly, my tear glands have a mind of their own so i always look like a crybaby la. She asked my mom to send an invitation if Natasha gets married. LOL! I think Natasha will even send her an airline ticket, that is if she ever gets married. (she has marriage phobia) I'm happy for my maid that she would be reunited with her children. My mom gave them some brand new toys and my dad gave them $50 (the kids). My mom also gave her a bunch of stuff, including a rice cooker, which resulted in her luggage weighing 45kg in total. We paid for the excess baggage tax and had a short but sweet goodbye. My mother ,who i think is the closest with her, was brave and did not shed much tears, surprisingly.

So anyhoo cant wait for Oweek!!! Hopefully i get to be in the same grp as at least someone i know *crosses fingers*

2009-07-13T22:25:00.005+08:00

Despite my initial hesitation, i decided to watch True Blood. Yes, the shows a little pervy but i skipped the awkward sex scenes and voila you get a pretty darn good show.

I've had my reservations about the show especially after JE (who interned at HBO told me about the show) but the raving reviews of True Blood on ONTD were so so tempting. So i man-ed up (so to speak) and watched Season 1. and i must say that it was surprisingly ok.

I couldn't help noticing that there were many striking similarities between Twilight and True Blood. Don't get me wrong they are ENTIRELY different and no one in the right mind can mistake the two but there were some similarities that were hard to avoid -like the fact that a human girl (ie:Bella vs Sookie) loves a vampire that is so gentlemanly and hates being a monster(ie:Edward vs Bill). and the fact that she has another love interest, who happens to be a shape shifter (ie:Jacob vs Sam) plus there are people out there out to kill her. But i MUST emphasise that they are way different in their own way.

Just rmb to skip/fast forward through the love scenes. ugh. puke inducing.

2009-07-11T19:36:00.004+08:00

Sorry for the lack of update. was feeling horrid for the past few days. thought i had h1n1! (cuz i went to NUS where they have quite a number of students with h1n1. so anyhoo, i don't think that i have it because i'm feeling much better now.

So Thurs was fantastic! We (Jas, Drina, Faj and I) surprised Anje and saw her in a towel. hahaha. Joi Joi was barking like a crazy bitch (no pun intended) when we arrived. i really really dislike joi joi. don't get me wrong, i like dogs. just not crazy ones. sorry anje. i like nice tame ones like zsa zsa. hahaha.

Anje's maid was nice enough to entertain my many phone calls to Anje's home cuz i was afraid tt she would have left home for the fake location we gave her. (i had to check many time cuz drina woke up late.) ahaha. but thank gawd for Anje's oversleeping habit.

When we got there her maid locked Joi joi in the room so that we could enter. I think anje's grandma did give us out a bit when she told anje to hurry out of the toilet cuz they had guests. lol. but i think anje didn't think that it would be us, if she did she'd be an oscar award winning actress. When she opened the door to her room and saw us she was like "WHAT!!" ahahahaha. we were like "SURPRISE!!!!" blah blah blah....summarised version: Anje loved the bikini and teared even more when she read the card. aww darl hope you had a fun time!

We also had kopi with Miss Su. and its quite nice I must say, yes against what you people might say. Shes really a harmless lady with a heart.

Friday was spent mourning on my bed as i was having a burning fever.

Sat was interesting. Spent the day at Takashimaya's Desa Kartika Indonesian Restaurant for my cousin's wedding. I wanted to wear my super cute gold dress but my mom said that i should wear a baju kurung cuz there would be many many older aunties and uncles. I gave in. ):

Boy was i disappointed by the restaurant. The service was below average, food sucked- both in terms of quality and quantity. yucks. do not visit that place. ever! best part- the bride and groom got hungry they dined at the restaurant next door, Breeks. But overall it was ok. :)

Will update soonish! :)

Ps HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY ESTHER CHAN!! love ya dear! hope you liked the present and the accompanying "card" *winks*

Ever the same

2009-07-07T23:38:00.004+08:00

Finally went for my med checkup at NUS. I seriously need to find out how to get to specific buildings in NUS. I couldn't be bothered to look at the bus routes at Clementi so i cabbed to the medical centre from Clementi mrt station. which kinda posed a problem since neither the cabby nor i knew where the place was. lol. The cabby was patient enough to drive slowly for me to scan the area and pick out the building.

While waiting for Faj to arrive, i sat at the bus-stop right outside the UHC building and started looking at what would be my future. when reality sunk in and i came to terms that i would actually be studying there, i started grinning like a loopy girl. seriously. but it felt great to know that i would be going to NUS pretty soon. (:

The medical checkup was a series of awkward stations, the gross-est being the urine test. ugh i shall not mention more. So after the whole fiasco (ok ok, so fiasco is an exaggerated term) Faj and I headed to Vivo for present hunting. hahahaha. I seriously hate buying presents. it makes me have a headache. but the sense of accomplishment after buying the gifts is always a redeeming point.

We searched for the perfect gift for hours before deciding on the perfect gift. Faj also filled me in about the FASS camp and boy i was so envious. really should have gone lah!!!! I also bought jibbitzs from the Crocs outlet at Vivo. *grins happily* I can't wait to wear my newly adorned Crocs.

I had to rush to City Hall afterward to meet my sec school clique. They had dinner at Out of the Pan. and since i was still bloated form the meal with Faj at Vivo, i didn't eat (plus i wasnt sure if the place was halal. lol) So as they ate, we chatted and i drank my Mocha drink. Sat for hours just talking bout rubbish and all that. Love it!!

So here i am doing a proper update after not updating properly for days. Ps cried again today while reading the beginning of Breaking Dawn. Im finishing it in an hour or two more so will update again then. (:

Throw it on me

2009-07-07T00:39:00.002+08:00

Choosing lecture grps for uni is mighty confusing. with modules and etc. I guess I've really been spoon-fed throughout my education. Its either that or my brain has rotted to an all time low. Hmm. i think its a combi of both. Will do a proper update soon. But for now:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OQX! I love ya to bits darl!

2009-07-06T03:13:00.003+08:00

UGH i am such a loser. Here I am lying on my bed crying over a book that I've read 4 times before. Yes I am reading the ending of Eclipse when Jacob and Bella are separating and I am sobbing uncontrollably. Its really quite pathetic.

2009-07-05T13:53:00.003+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANJELINA CHOO YENG YENG!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YAP JIA EN!!!!

To my two beloved friends who share the same birthday, i love y'all to the moon! sorry the entry is a day late cuz my internet was down yesterday.

Don't Stop the Music

2009-07-03T18:04:00.002+08:00

Started panicking when i got home yesterday because of the sheer number of things i had to complete. Plus at that point of time, i hadn't organised them into a list so everything kept bugging me simultaneously. So when i got home after spending the day chilling with Anje at Starbucks, (though half the time she wasn't there!) I took a bath and immediately made a list of things that i had to complete. I'm kinda a list person. I have no idea why, but every time I have a lot of things to do, i keep procrastinating them to a point where i feel so overwhelmed. Ugh. Nasty habit, I know. (if you want to know the reason why I was procrastinating is because I started re-reading the Twilight Series and once I start, its really hard to stop.)

But I prioritised, made the list and completed some of the things I had to do. So i kinda feel way relieved. phew! *wipes off a bead of sweat from my forehead (: *

Still have a ton of stuff to complete asap. ): So i should stop procrastinating and start doing. (: Au Revoir!

PS: change my blog skin and i realised that i don't quite like it so I'm prolly gonna change it again. lol. (: Sorry Anje :)

Self Inflicted

2009-07-02T14:58:00.006+08:00

Just bought gifts for my friends upcoming bdays. July and August are the months I dread cuz there are too many July and August babies and I go broke so quickly. :( So pardon the many birthday wishes I'll be posting on my blog for the 2 upcpming months :)

I am at Starbucks now and Anjelina Choo Yeng Yeng, you are so dead! Its 3 and she's still not here yet! We agreed to meet at 2 lah! argh. So here I am sitting with the laptop waiting for her to come. Thank god i brought along New Moon which I am reading for the 4th time. And i still cry. how loserish right. Hmm i have no idea why i like the series so much. i guess its my guilty pleasure, book wise. :)

Update: 3.30, still no sign of her yet.

UPDATE: Anje's finally here again after coming and going (for tuitioning) and coming back again. Ps: I keep taking gorgeous pics (ie:she looks great in the photos. its not those artistic shots. Though i wish i can take artistic shots ): ) of Anje with her drink. Say what Anje? :) But its hard to take an ugly photo of a pretty girl right? :)

Smile Anje!

2009-06-30T19:13:00.002+08:00

Yes! i got into NUS LPP (language preparation programme)!!! Wohoo! At first when Ann texted me, asking if i was admitted into the programme, i was a bit nervous about checking my mail. Then she told me that she wasn't successful in her application and i was like darn it i got no hope ready. To my amazement, when i checked my mail i was accepted! like how sweet is that! Hmm i guess Ann didn't get through cuz she applied for the Korean prog, which naturally is more competitive cuz its the hip and cool lang to know. Im so sorry Ann. I really wish that you would have gotten into the programme too. that would be great.

So anyhoo I am SUPER PSYCHED! Cant wait to start school. And in 2-3 years I'll be in Germany for a semester or so. I guess this year has been wonderful on me in terms of my school choices etc. I guess this is how it feels to get what you want. and it feels awesome!

Hey Anje, meet me soon for the blogskin thing ok darl. :)

2009-06-27T23:18:00.002+08:00

Quick update again. sorry. I'm exhausted from the guides carnival today. AND im sorting out the beads now. again. After sitting in a chair like a frigging factory worker making non stop beading items for 7 hours. SERIOUSLY! Im going nuts from all the beading. but experiencing today plus cleaning up the guide house after the whole event made me feel like an actual guide again. We were the only school that stayed back to help to clean and clear the whole guide house besides the YAs. How nice we are. (:

Ooh ooh guess what? we made $640!!! LIKE HOLY MOLY!!! HOW AWESOME!!! we spent less then 100 bucks but gained 6 times profit!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Will update fully tmr (:

Met up with the babes AGAIN! hahaha. This time was so much better cuz all of us came. But before I met them i went for guides. They were doing outdoor cooking and It was nice to see the whole company again. Hmm the sec 4s should really start to let go and let the sec 3s take over. The sec 3s are not able to command the respect and attention of the company yet and POP is on Thurs! How scary is that?? But i guess its common to worry bout the younger and upcoming batch.

So anyhoo, I met up with Jasvin at Yishun to bus together to Changi, to send off Drina. I tell you that girl is a damn lucky girl! She flew off (AGAIN), this time to Bangkok. I am so envious of that jet setter lah! Ooh ooh, Anje postponed one of her tutoring sessions, after much persuasion, to stay with us longer. (: Drina had a cozy send off, all of us except for Sak who came later after school. (: While waiting for Sak, we lunched and i finally got to try the famous mash potatoes from Popeye's and its GOOD!!! hahaha. Ate and chatted bout stuff. Its cool how we can talk non stop lah. these girls really are fantastic! After Sak came we walked around T3 and then finally decided to watch planes take off and chat there. Plus we saw Dora and her monkey friend, kids and a whole lot of crocs!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE CROCS!!! We chatted bout love and other awkward stuff too weird to blog bout *grins cheekily* heheheeh

I also went to pick up my f21 items from Sze Hui in the evening (: So cheap lah!!! Me likes (:

Oh and Fathers day was nice too. I made a super pretty card *beams shamelessly*

2009-06-20T13:47:00.003+08:00

Ok. My feet are well rested now so I can blog in peace. Met up with the babes yst minus Jas and Sak cuz Jas's in M'sia and Sak's working.): So anyhoo we went shopping! Mango was having this ginornous sale that everyone must go to. I got this wallet for 19 from 50. can you say AWESOME! Faj and Drina bought stuff but i didn't buy too much cuz I've been spending a lot. We had a coffee break at Starbucks before heading to Far East. I was, as usual, reluctant and complaining bout going there but Faj managed to shut me up. hahahah. We walked around looking for bags for Drina who wanted a small sling bag. Dinner was cheap at one of the stalls on the top level of Far East. nothing fantastic but ok la. Shopped more and finally left at around 10.

I love those girls simply cuz they're a great bunch to hang around with. No pressure, no tension just fun fun fun. Love yall! :)

Must get Out

2009-06-20T00:37:00.003+08:00

My feet is aching like a bitch. seriously. after walking around in heels, well technically in wedges, for about 9 hours! will update tmr cuz i'm too tired to blog now. haha.

Should have said No

2009-06-18T22:57:00.004+08:00

DO NOT WATCH DRAG ME TO HELL! It is the lamest, most stupidest movie ever! EVER! Seriously! So in case you're still confused, i managed to catch the movie in the evening with my siblings minus Najib. We honestly thought that it would be an ok movie but it sucked. real bad. I mean it could join the ranks of the Scary Movie series. ugh. ugh. ugh. I felt so cheated!!!! terrible plot and plain gross effects. Couldn't believe Sam Raimi, director of the Spiderman Movie Series, did that piece of crap. I guess we all make mistakes huh.

Losing touch

2009-06-16T12:40:00.003+08:00

Beading is taking up A LOT of my time and I'm so sorry to my friends for cancelling on y'all but i really have to. The guide carnival is coming up really soon ( 0n the 27th) so we really need to speed things up and have so many more bracelets/pendents/mobile phone straps/necklaces to complete.

I met up with the 5 of them (my guides juniors) to buy more beads/crystals/strings etc at Chinatown. When we were done I had to head to Changi to send my uncle off and they wanted a change of location to do the beading. I swear i asked them a million times if they wanted to do it at any other place then i would meet them there but they said that they wanted to go there, so we did. We lunched at Popeye's and i really don't think its any great. Maybe the sides were slightly different from the usual fast food chains but the chicken did not live up to my expectations. from the way my siblings and friends were raving about the place, i was expecting to be wowed. but i wouldn't have known if i didn't try so there's that.

Anyhoo, while doing the bracelets, they talked about guides, Korean shows and YT. Sometime when I'm with them i wish to go back to the times where i was carefree but other times i feel like hiding my face in a plastic bag when they start to do embarrassing things like giggle ultra loudly and other lame stuff 14 year olds do. (but i still like them a lot) I shared with them some stories about guides and sec school life. They did too. Hmm found out more about the current company from the sec 2s perspective. interesting. ooh ooh ooh and i must declare my love for terminal 3. Awesome!

I'm starting to get a flu which is scary because of H1N1 but my sister already had the flu and i accidentally shared a drink with her the other day. ugh will check it out in any case. just to be sure. will keep updating (:

Everywhere

2009-06-15T00:48:00.008+08:00

I went shopping AGAIN! hahaha.

I woke up from sleep at 6 plus and couldn't fall asleep again so i went for a run. I wanted to run with my mom who always jogs in the morn but by the time I was dressed and ready, she was already done, so i went on my own. Hmm. this was a change from my usual run in the evening. I noticed a major difference. In the morning, there are way more older people walking/jogging and in the evening more youngsters. I like running in the morning better though. The air feels fresher, not humid at all, cooling and no pressure to keep up with the other youths. lol. But the downside is that since i usually sleep late, I can't wake up in the morn. I hate this kind of situations that require me to make decisions cuz I'm quite a fickle person. Ugh.

After the run, I bathed and waited for my mom and siblings to go to Giant for our monthly grocery shooping at Giant Sembawang. Grocery shopping is usually an embarrassing event cuz our trolley would be overspilling and it honestly looks like a mountain lah! people will stare and make stupid comments like: " Wah shopping for the whole year is it!" like hello we have 5 kids, 2 parents, a maid and an uncle! its a huge family, i know.

Then at around 5, me, mom and Natasha (my elder sis) went shopping. We headed to Robinsons cuz they're absorbing the GST for a 3 day sale (in addition to their sale which has discounts up to 70%) and today was the last day. I got this gorgeous laptop bag from Charis Asher at a steal!

- Large tote with double handles
- Zip-top closure
- Detachable sling
- Twin side pockets
- Silver hardware details -
Purple soft leather with darker purple leather trimming
- Cotton Linning
- Fits 14" - 15.4" Laptops
- Elastic velcro strap to securely keep laptop in place
- Stationaries, PDA, cell phone and laptop compartments
- 41cm X 42cm X 9.5cm
- Price : US$ 79.90

Guess how much i got it for?? $70!!!! How awesome was that!! I love love love love it!!!! i also bought a dress and a top and some boy cut Pierre Cardin undies (they're my fav!) My sis bought a pair of Steve Madden heels. (She's seriously one of those shoe addicts) (ooh and a shoe snob too!- she claims that she would never ever be caught dead wearing Crocs and always always criticises my Crocs. Whatever. I adore Crocs!) plus Tommy Hilfiger's Tommy Girl that came with a super cute Tommy H. tote! I want!!!

So now I'm tired shit and I'm gonna crash. have to go to Chinatown tmr to get more beading stuff for my guide juniors. darn it.

Nothing beats the feeling of shopping and knowing you got a damn good deal. [Hmm. not really though. taking a cold bath on a freaking hot day is cool too. (no pun intended) Another good rival is getting rewarded and acknowledgement for your hard work. ok, ok i know i digressed a lot. lol. so back to the original topic: Shopping. I honestly love shopping. the thrill of getting a dress or any other item that looks good. trying out things that you may never buy but trying it anyways for the fun of it. Plus the GSS gives the greatest excuse to spend!!!

Anyhoo, I met up with Jon and HG in the afternoon and we went shopping at a place i never thought of to go shopping- IMM. Yes I know its weird to shop there but i was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a secretly good place to go to. There was a FOS outlet which i never knew existed in Singapore and Esprit's factory outlet's there too. (though there aren't that many nice stuff there.) Fox's sale was amazing too. managed to get some nice tops dirt cheap during the sale. The guys tried out stuff too and they looked great. Damn NS! i want to drop pounds too like nobody's business lah! After shopping, i was super late to meet the girls. I was supposed to meet them at 7 at Safra but i only left Jurong at 7 lah!! hahahaha. sorry. shopping is like a drug. so hard to stop.

Dinner with them was as expected, nothing short of hilarious. Every time I'm with them my cheeks hurt from laughing too hard and too much. When you see us, you would never imagine that the 7 (though Tab couldn't make it today. She had a last min family thing to attend to :( ) of us can click so well. Seriously. but its the diversity that makes it such a fun and exciting group to be in. Had dinner at Swensons Yishun (which is weird cuz we have never dined in Yishun before, though most of us live in Yishun) Frankly I'm kinda sick of Swensons already. Ate there 3 times in the past month. need more suggestions for Halal places.

pictures will be up soon (: till then I am going to crash from fatigue. hahahahhaha. Au revoir! (:

ooh also: HAPPY 19TH NAFE!

UPDATE: I bought for Najib (the older one of my 2 brothers) a tee from Gap that says Hockey. I was taken aback by 2 things that he did.

1) While shopping I called him incessantly but he didnt pick up. When he finally called back, this was how the convo went something like this:

Me; Hey you! called you a million times! why didn't you pick up??
Him: Sorry my phone bat is running low.
Me: Don't lie ar!
Him: Really!
Me: Sure. sure. Anyways I bought for you a hockey tee from Gap.
Him: really? ex or not?
Me: very cheap. its from FOS. Good right! but I'm scared you can't fit (he has broad shoulders)
Him: Wah not bad.
Me: Ya I know right! didn't know there was an FOS in s'pore too.
Him: No lah not the shirt. you! you not bad.
Me: (touched alr cuz this would be considered damn mushy for him) hahaha. ok. see you later!

2) When he tried out the tee and it fit, he actually hugged me and thanked me for it. I was like WHOA! seriously?! a hug coming from him? lol. But it was a sweet gesture that i will always remember.

I WILL NEVER EVER EVER GO SWIMMING IN THE MORNING EVER AGAIN!

Ugh. went swimming at around 10 with my mom, maid and 2 youngest siblings. It was fun i guess but when i went to shower, the tan line on my thigh was effing AWFUL! There's a distinct line that makes me feel like singing MJ's Black and White. like literally. i am not effing exaggerating. its that god damn awful and i wanted to cry! ugh!

Anyhoo we had a satisfying lunch and bought ice cream to eat on the way home. Today would have been genuinely great if not for the FUGLY tan line.

My sec 2 guide juniors are hilarious and adorable. Met up with them to do the beads. Gosh days are passing by so quickly. They have to make tons of beaded jewelery by the 27th of this month for the guides carnival! but they are progressing and making pretty stuff so i guess that's all i can ask for :) Anje and Anne also came along later in the afternoon. and then it became chaotic because i had to teach 5 people how to do and they were all like "Mam" at the same time. yes, i know its super weird that they call me Mam but I've given up on telling them to stop it cuz they say its just too weird to call me Nadia. So we sat at Starbucks throughout the time doing the beads. The Starbucks staff were all very amiable and kept asking us about the items we were making. (: they gave us inputs too like how much they would pay for the bracelets and phone straps and pendents etc. Plus one of them kept asking if we wanted iced water. (: And i think i was extra clumsy today. spilled me beads twice! and it was a lot of beads! We picked up most of them but obviously there were strays that were just easier to leave on the floor. lol. Talking to them bout the gossips within the company was interesting too. hehehehe. will upload the pics later (:

PS: Sorry Anje for making you bring your laptop. Thought that we could do the blog skin stuff but they really needed me. We will meet again soon ok. and you will have my undivided attention. PPS: your handmade earrings and bracelet are gorgeous! great job!

I re-watched the Twilight movie yesterday which inspired this post. This is the list of dream guys that only exist in books or movies. ):

Top 10 dream guys: (I don't think they are in any particular order though)

1. (of course) Edward Cullen

Not really the Edward I was looking for but he'll do (:

I mean who wouldn't want an Edward Cullen (emphasis that the Edward I am referring to is from the book!) except for straight guys that is (: He's beautiful, intelligent, hot, kind, sensitive, not very egoistic, and basically everything a girl could ever want. What more can I say? ahh. sighs dreamily.

2. Jacob Black

Hotness Monster

Like hello if Edward deserves to be on my list then bloody Jacob damn well too. Boy did he steal my heart in New Moon and Eclipse with the dedication and sincerity for his love for Bella. To know that you'll always be second to her first love who she cannot get over yet still choosing to stick with her and mend her smashed heart. And even after all that heartache, she still chooses the other guy. God damn it I want my Jacob now. (though it was kinda awkward when Renesmee came along and he fell for her instead. talk about paedophilic projections onto a character! lol) Anyhoo I like both the character Jacob and Taylor Lautner! (:

3. Noah Calhoun

Sweet Noah (;

He's the guy from The Notebook in case you were wondering. My my my, what can i say. He is one of the sweetest guys i have ever known. To fight for the girl you love and not abandon her when she needs you the most. His wife had Alzheimer's and he would remind her everyday till she remembered despite the heartache of having to remind your love of your life that she was your love every single day. Such devotion.

4. Gerry Clarke

Ah! He's from one of the best-est and saddest books I've read- Ps I love you. A guy thinking of his wife's future when he is dying. Can you say true love? cuz that was what it was. Imaging having to help your wife get over you. He wrote a list of things she had to do every month for the first year after he passed. And the last note was asking her to find another guy that loves her and she loves back. Cried my eyes out while reading this book. Tell me what guy will ask his wife to find another man. Hmm maybe I'm generalising too much. There are still those rare good one out there if you search hard enough (: hopefully.

5. Chuck Bass

Mother Chucker :)

Every girl has a weakness for bad boys. Naomi fell for Liam in 90210 and there are countless of other examples. So my list has to have at least a bad boy so i chose Chuck from Gossip Girl. The sick relationship he initially had with Blair slowly blossomed into one of the greatest TV love I've watched. The brooding, seemingly soulless boy that actually has a heart and loves someone. Plus he is so hot! With his tortured past, what girl can say no to him.

6. Daniel Meade

Betty!

The bad boy gone good after meeting the illusive One. Granted it took a lot of work from Betty (from ugly betty. SHE IS NOT HIS LOVE! just a very dedicated assistant.) to change him over the years but the transformation was perfect. He's hot. Not that intelligent (heheheheheheh) and absolutely doting to his terminally ill wife. How unselfish. To love and marry someone you love who you know is going to die soon and hence practically guaranteeing yourself a lot of heart pain but doing it to give her the best darn last months y'all will ever have together.

7. Jack Dawson

He is so good looking!!!

The ultimate love story- Titanic. Also the classic forbidden love. He won Rose's heart with his dashing good looks (so cute!) and his boy next door demeanour. like hello! like you could ever resist. He makes you feel like you're the only girl in the world to him and charms his way into your life before you know it, you're risking your life for him. touching and something i would like to call a "fools rush in" moment. Fools as in people who are desperately in love cuz seriously that's what happens when you first fall in love, or so I've heard. You go all giddy that dying in the place of someone you love seems worth it. I mean i don't condone silly lovey dovey things like getting a tattoo of the person's name on your body but when you watch Titanic, you will forget all that and root for Rose and Jack. The power of Hollywood. Hahahaha. thought i would say love didn't cha! :P

8. Michael Scofield

Yummy!

The perfect man. Seriously. Brawns and brains with loyalty. could you ask for more? He busted his ass to save his brother, getting himself into a shitload of trouble. Then when he fell in love with Sarah, his started to feel guilty for using her initially. Aiyoh. how adorable. a torn guy. the botak head was a plus cuz he looks so yummy bald! (: i know you're thinking it.

9. Freddie

He's British girls! You gotta love the accent!

Hahaha. This is my impulse addition because I just watched the movie Wild Child and all I can say is he's British. and cute. (: So he is on my list (:

10. Edward Lewis

Its so unfair that he looks hot at 40! ):

Richard Gere from Pretty woman was a hot older rich man. He was also weird, hiring a hooker to accompany him for the night but hey, he met the woman of his dreams. Yes she is a hooker but you cant choose who you love and hookers also deserve to find their ones what. who are we to judge right. Julia Roberts as Vivian Ward was so uber lucky to have found a sweet handsome rich guy that loves her back. I am jealous of a hooker who doesn't exist. how loser-ish have I become. LOL.

I realise that my dream guys are all fictitious characters but i guess you can only find good guys in dreamland right. Yes i know certain people are lucky enough to find their true love. If only everyone were to be so fortunate as to find their love, there wouldn't be so much hate in the world. Cliched i know but i honestly believe so. Feel free to comment or give suggestions. Ps should i do lists posts. i think they're fun but boy do they take ages to complete.(: hope you enjoyed my two cents worth (: Au revoir!

Cry for you

2009-06-07T18:36:00.002+08:00

I feel like an effing pig. haha. Had lunch with the family at Swensons earlier today. As usual an outing with the family meant loads of bickering, yelling and water spilling everywhere. I honestly think that my family is so similar to the characters in the show Brothers and Sisters. like there are so many undeniable similaries its uncanny.

Lunch was okay. We ordered food like nobody's business. ooh ooh and an ex guide junior of mine was working there at that point of time which made it kinda awkward for her to serve us. lol. but it was nice to see her though. I had seafood lasagna and i think i like it a lot prolly cuz of the creamy spinach sauce. I was also supposed to share my apple crumble with Natalia but since she had ordered her own Frosted choc malt, she struggled with it as did i. lol. after eating like a pig i couldn't move. like literally. i felt like exploding! We headed to Cold Storage for a while before heading home.

I'm still feeling bloated now. i think its from drinking too much water. will laze around more. and watch Night at the Museum on Channel 5. and Harper's Island at 10.30. very interesting show. plus Henry from Ugly Betty is acting (he retains the name Henry. funny huh.)

The sec 3 guides received their ranks today at the BBQ. Congrats Mandy and JH and the rest of the sec 3s. One more thing. please don't let your ranks get in the way of friendships and your passion and love for guides. applicable to the sec 2s as well.

Anyhoo the monthly Germany trip gathering was an epic disappointment. and instead of feeling upset I'm getting really pissed. i mean seriously people if y'all aren't interested to go in the first place just say so. Don't say that you are coming then back out like really last minute. it takes time planning the gatherings. don't waste our time lah. i guess the novelty wore off and suddenly everyone has stuff in their lives once more. like hello so do we but its called making time. i knew it was too good to last. i should have seen the signs. but this gathering was supposed to be different. it was suppose to be a year's anniversary gathering but in the end, the turn out was pathetic. like really pathetic. 5 people. ugh. it was suppose to be a great night but it turned out like an average meet up. dinner and a chat. Serious effort was put in. Nafe took half day leave to prepare for the gathering. totally lost mood for the gathering. and faith. i guess unknowingly i attended the last meet up. sad right. whatever.

UPDATE: I applied for LLP already. Hopefully i get accepted. please. please. please. *prays*

2009-06-04T18:52:00.003+08:00

I didn't realise how tough teaching how to make beaded jewelery was till i tried teaching my guides juniors earlier on. I think its never been a problem for me because my mom taught me when i was younger. Now i can make them easily. (not extremely difficult ones of course!) Hmm should i start selling them? my creations? it'll be easy money if people actually buy. should I?

So anyhoo met my juniors at Starbucks Civics (since they all lived in the North) at 11 to teach them (Sidetrack: there is this junior of mine who is super irritating! Always never come when we meet up and have a lot of excuses for it! I was like whatever lah at first but now its plain free rider lah! the other girls are putting in effort to do the work but she absents herself all the time! and its not only for the beading committee. the other time when they were having promo tests and she couldn't light her fire and was down to her last match she suddenly had leg cramps! WTH right! i mean a lot of the other girls couldn't start the fire either but they didn't give up, giving flimsy excuses! ugh! i know i know its horrid to bitch bout a junior and totally unprofessional but i cant help it, i'm super pissed.) Back to beading with my juniors. they are adorable but really blur. hmm maybe i need more patience. they took some time but in the end managed to make their first crystal heart and i could tell that they were proud of themselves. hhahaha. good job girls! :)

I had to leave at ard 1 plus to meet Ann for a LPP briefing at NUS. Please please please lemme get accepted by the programme. its a language preparation prog where we learn either German, French or Korean and after 2 years go for an exchange trip for about a semester to learn overseas. COOL RIGHT!! the greatest part is that all participants of this programme must have no prior knowledge of the language. this is great cuz then we wouldn't need to compete with the pros who've taken third lang since sec school! aww i really hope i get in. No prizes for guessing which language i want. Then i'll get to speak to Natalia in German. Natasha takes French so she wouldn't understand. heheehehehhe. now she would know how it feels to scold her siblings in a foreign language.

After the short briefing we had a quick lunch and before rejoining my juniors. Ann came along for a while and then left. ):

So anyways we completed some of the pieces they were making then left for home. ps its funny how they call me Mam when we're out. even after countless of time telling them not to. aiyoh. makes me feel ancient lah!

2009-06-01T23:45:00.004+08:00

Met up with some of my council girls yst at Plaza Sing. Before meeting with the rest of the gang, ie: Rachel and Sarah Tso (twins), Api and Niki, i met JE to go together. that girl lah. made us late. but being late with her was fun. went to her place to play her Wii. I really suck at bowling! NVM. i will try harder the next time. Yap Jia En it is so on! hahahaha.

We ate dinner before walking to Orchard. The lighting at one of the newer shopping malls were awesome. JE however, left earlier (and abandoned me!) Walking with them was fun. and cooling and refreshing. it was also a change of scenery. i liked it. headed to Wisma for a little shopping before going home cuz Niki had some stuff to attend to at home. will upload the pics later on.

Went to the library with my siblings today. i like borrowing during the holiday period cuz we can borrow 8 books! awesome. anyhoo, till next time, au revoir!

Party People

2009-05-30T14:31:00.004+08:00

Went for Huamin's 20th anniversary dinner yesterday. Met up with 9 other ex-classmates of mine. I guess the $20 bucks spent was ok. The performances were awfully boring though. but its not like we were paying attention anyways. i guess the poor sound system just put everyone off. Anyhoo, our table decided to play table games to pass the time. We played one of those lame games like fuzzy wuzzy. Hahhaaa. but it was fun lah to guess and figure out the link between the items you will "bring to the party" (which was the game) Hmm granted it was kinda awkward at first. but i guess the games acted as an ice breaker to warm everyone up. It was nice seeing everyone again, even the teachers. I think it made the teachers feel kinda old now tt the guys are in NS and we were all going to Uni. After the dinner we decided to head to Safra to chill and talk. it would have been great to see the whole class once more but still, the company was great so its fine.
Pics:

Compare those with us 6 years ago (:

Ps the weather is terrible! Its damn effing hot most of the time and when its not, its raining. We've has totally screwed the environment lah! and still we choose not to repent and mend our ways! i mean come on people! Its time we woke up from la la land and start taking measures to slow down the drastic changes to the climate instead of hastening it!!!

PPS: omg la. It is scary when i found out that a few people who either got similar or some even better scores not making it to FASS. I dunno why but i feel kinda guilty. ugh don't ask me why. i have no clue either ): I am so sorry you guys.

Till next time! Au revoir.

I cannot believe its been a year since the Germany trip. It doesn't feel like a year. seems like eons ago. i went there not expecting much but i was so wrong. made tons of friends, (and an extreme dislike [once again the milder version] for the tour guide) learnt so much more then textbooks can ever explain, and basically had so much fun. I never imagined growing close to a bunch of people so fast. And all the fake studying to please the teachers. lol. opening books in the bus but putting on my shades and mp3 and looking out the window. gossiping. playing cards. and watching the movies in the bus. That perv tour guide of ours kept playing inappropriate movies lah (ie movies with sex scenes! on a school trip! like hello! so dense!) So i guess the only sucky part bout the trip was mucus (the tour guide)

To Deutschlanders: (as they call themselves. it was not my idea. lol ) Y'all are fantastic! you made the trip a memorable and great! To the J1s (then): work hard. play hard and study hard. I'm sure you ppl will excel. To the J2s guys: happy NS-ing and to the girls: hope to see in Uni, whichever one y'all decide to go to (:

Hannah, Sarah and I.

Today was Natalia's birthday. well technically it was yesterday. She got an early present because she kept pestering my mom to get her a phone so that was her present. Still we had a celebration. hahaha. and miss lil sis sorta demanded for an ice cream cake so we got for her a blackforest ice cream cake from Swensons. Its delish! We (as in my mom and i) also redeemed some kuehs from Bengawan solo.

I made for her this awesomely pretty card and Nabil made for her a relatively pretty card. (emphasis on the word relatively.He's a boy for one but you gotta give him credit cuz he put in a lot of effort into making the card.)

Ps HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATALIA (I'm pretty sure you will read this so there.) and ooh her friends from school gave her super nice presents and cards. I got kinda envious. hahaha. lame i know but i cant help it. new things always make me go green eyed. nasty habit tt i must kick.

Four to the Floor

2009-05-27T20:09:00.003+08:00

Loads of people have been asking me, "So whaddaya want to do after uni?" The thing is I've been thinking about it and I realised that i have no clue. I honestly have no clue. and this is absolutely frightening, being aimless that is. I have always been a person who has a goal and slowly I work towards my goal, be it a long term one or short term goal.

I guess the excessive break I've been enjoying is rotting my brain away and i hate it! I know what you people will tell me to do, especially HG, go find a job. I don't think a job will help me refocus and find that elusive "what i want to do in life" epiphany. In fact i think the only way for my brain to reboot is to go back to school. And i know how ridiculous my next statement is gonna sound but i actually miss going to school. I mean the whole process of wearing a uniform (although i hated wearing it), complaining about schoolwork and rushing through assignments etc. It must be the living on a day by day basis that irks me. It was fun at first, no doubt about that. the new found freedom of not having to wake up in the wee hours of the morning and to stress about an upcoming test or exam etc. but now its getting plain ol' tiresome. i do realise how ungrateful and silly i sound. missing school? i never thought the day would come. who'd knew?

Plus I need to start thinking about my near future. like seriously think. Hmm, why did i bring up this matter? i followed my mom to Nabil's parent meeting session earlier on (I'm gonna digress for a while) I'm quite proud of the improvement he has made from CA (since i practically had to be his personal tutor for every subject besides Malay). Improved English by abt 15-20 marks and maths he was 3rd in class.*beams* Anyhoo while I was there the teachers, who found out that i was partially responsible for Nabil's marked improvement (ahem), asked me what i wanted to do. I told her that i didn't know but i am positive that i did not want to be a teacher. that got a few laughs from them. She told me that her daughter said the exact same thing. If this is case, the gov has a major issue to on their plate. Hmm we all know then that if locals do not want to be teachers, we have to resort to hiring foreigners. This would then spark off the whole local vs foreign war that has been going on since forever. but can we blame them for hiring foreigners when we are not up to the challenge? gosh i realise how much i digressed. ugh Miss su would be so disappointed. lol. hahahaha.

So now I'm wondering what I'll do to fritter my remaining 2 months before starting school. I have enjoyed the long break but i have to seriously find something constructive to do. I was thinking maybe dressmaking. Since it will be super cool learning how to make clothes. Hmm. i really do need to stimulate my neurons or they'll lose all the connections they've made over time. Till next post, au revoir!

She's so lovely

2009-05-25T22:37:00.004+08:00

JE and I finally met up since she was slightly free after finishing her internship at HBO. I tell you Yap Jia En, you work too hard! Come on babe! you're only 18! let your hair down and stop being a workaholic at your age! So we lunched at Swensons and did a lot of reminiscing and bitching and complaining. She had the Chili crab pasta and I, the seafood lasagna. Both were satisfactory, in fact i liked the lasagne's creamy spinach sauce a lot! Hahaha. We also ordered root beer floats and shared a Frosted Choc Malt ice cream (though we barely ate it, just greedy i suppose ;P) She had to finish her presentation due on Wed so she left after lunch. I then met up with Anje and Drina. Followed Anje to SIM where she was applying to. I was like whoa! $65 for registration only! Hmm the building was kinda cool but I didn't like the smokers loitering near the bus stop. ugh. We then headed to Queenstown Shopping Centre. Drina needed to get her Cheer outfit done. Plus i visited the Crocs shop. I bought 2 ginormous flower jibbitzs with a gem in the centre. Its so pretty lah! I must go back there again! The shoes selection at QSC was amazing! We left at ard 6.30 cuz Anje had tutoring to do.Getting home was a bitch. Actually today's transportation was awful. Long story. But in all i had a great time! can't wait to meet them again!

My pretty pouch! I LOVE IT!!!

I finally met up with Nikki yst. Gawd i forgot how well we click. its like meeting with someone can just talk for hours and hours. Since we havent met in ages, we did a lot of catching up at Starbucks before having a super late lunch. That poor girl should not keep bottling up her feelings. And man oh man does she bottle up a lot of stuff. Ps darl: I cant wait to meet again. She brought me to Muji and what on earth have i been missing out! its a fantastic place and i am so going there again! I promised to take her to places other than town which is practically her playground. but honestly darl, you need to go to other places! lol.

darn it i need to go to Nus tmr for the medical checkup thing which i have been postponing for a long time. I hate going to the doctors. ugh i think im going to be one of those ppl who would refuse to go to the doctors even if im like sick. hahahahaha. nasty habit. i know. oh wells. till next time, Au revoir!

See you Again

WARNING: CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC AHEAD!

Crocs- Love them or Hate them?

hahahahaha. gotcha with the heading didn't I? lol! So anyhoo my crazy love for Crocs is growing by the minute. I know I'm supposed to hate them but i can't help it they are adorable! Went for the Crocs sale yesterday with Nabil since he wanted to get a pair too. As usual the place was packed but not as packed as the previous sale. The one then was insane! Bought 6 pairs this time (: I also got a croc o-dial in purple and I LOVE/ ADORE it!!! croc o-dial is a phone and card pouch. PS: notice the cute pun? hahaha. Plus you can decorate it with jibbitz (my current favouritedest thing) as usual and i adorned mine with an Ariel Jibbitz. It is awesome!

Bought for myself an Army Green Mary Jane (M.J) and Chocolate Primas. Nabil bought a Mickey Skater Crocs in Black and Red that is so cool!!! Natalia a Pink Mickey M.J and of course not forgetting jibbitz. they both decorated theirs with 4 jibbitz each.

Anje is a godsend to me! Love ya babe! Her and her computer pro-ness saves me from tonnes of trouble. i asked her how i can create a photo collage on the laptop and she asked me try out Picasa and all i can say is wow! with a click of a button it made for me a beautiful collage. Thanks so much darl!

Ps Thanks Jas and Anje for being friends when I needed y'all. Seriously. i dunno what i'll do without y'all. (: Here are 2 that i did instantly.

My beloved babes.

My wonderful time in Germany!

Come Back to Me

2009-05-21T12:06:00.011+08:00

SPOILER ALERT!

OMG! Kris Allen won AI season 8. I am so so happy!!! I predicted correctly once again. I mean i like Adam, but he was given preferential treatment (which i detest and abhor!) throughout the season. he had special lighting during his performances, smoke effect and judges singing praises of him all the time. i mean holy cow look at his finale performance with Kiss. the producers prolly thought that he would have won 100%. Kris on the other hand had to win America over with his adorable looks and his singing without the special effects. And the judges were so condescending and disdainful after his final performance which prolly made his fans plus other outed AI contestants fans ie: Danny fans to vote for him instead of Adam. In any case i was so delighted to find out that Kris won because though Adam has the range, his screaming all the time gets to me.

The 2 hour result show was absolutely fantastic! with Kara doing the duet. Man did Bikini girl look piss when Kara cut short her minute of fame (literally). And Tatiyanna with her over the top performance. I must say that the whole show was super entertaining. Phew what a season! I'll be waiting for season 9 next year! Till then, I think this would prolly be one of my last idol posts for this year

Ps: How timely it was that Kris, the dark horse won. I wouldn't say much but to the "Adam Lamberts" in the world ( No i am not referring to Adam Lamberts fans but ppl who get certain privileges over the "Kris's") you can't win all the time!

PPS: Sorry if i sound bitter cuz special/preferential treatments is a sore point of mine and there is an on going war with my mom about it at the moment. Honestly, I do like Adam and its a pity he didn't win, but i can't say that I'm terribly disappointed.

Well anyhoo till i update, Au revoir!

I love my mother no doubt bout that but right now i am so frustrated at her i wanna scream!!! She's acting extra catty (that's the nicer version by the way) today and if i don't get out of the house soon i am going to explode! ARGH! Seriously! She picks on every detail that i am literally gonna yell if she doesn't leave me alone! Come on! Gimme some credit!

Seriously! this is how i feel at the moment!

The Show

2009-05-16T21:11:00.004+08:00

Went out with my lil siblings today. Visited Funan again to get something fixed for my new laptop. Also got this huge ass pair of headphones. like literally-huge ass, headphones. boy oh boy is the quality of sound so great with this pair. We also ate at Swensons. Just the three of us. I realised among the older siblings, i entertain Natalia and Nabil the most. hmm, i guess Tasha and Najib are too busy for the two younger ones. So we generally had a great time. Spotted the ang moh guy from the M1 commercial. He is ginormous in real life! lol. Natalia got really excited (don't ask me why) and decided to take a video of him (a little stalker-ish right!). on our way home, we bumped into Anje at Yishun Bus Interchange! can you believe that! how cool! i didnt realise she was walking next to me till i heard her yell my name! hahahaha. OOH ooh did i mention, I skipped NTU's Tea Party. I guess going to the tea party would make me bitter bout not getting into SCI. But oh wells, I honestly am excited bout going to NUS. seriously!

SPOILER ALERT:
Grey's Anatomy finale was so so so devastating! George and Izzie died!!! I can't believe the writers did that. I guess they're really leaving the show. George looks so handsome in his uniform. But that being said, everybody looks good in Army uniform. ugh. i hate the ending. They can't do this to us!!!!

EPL UPDATE:
Man U drew. But still the won the title ready so its time to celebrate. (:
Will update soon, till then, au revoir!

The Lucky One

2009-05-15T23:30:00.002+08:00

OMG! I just got my laptop!!! Its so cool! Its Acer. Not too big not too small. Just nice for a student i guess at 14.1". It has Dolby Home Theater surround sound. How cool is that! With a nVIDIA graphic card, its good for gaming! I love it! Ok it may not be as cool as some of the other models (ie:Macbook or Vaio) but i love it! (: So till the next update, au revoir!

You are so Beautiful

2009-05-14T23:01:00.003+08:00

When i found out Danny went home on ONTD (ie: my fav gossip website) i was like "nah its fine". But when i watched it on TV i felt genuinely moved and suddenly i felt so bad for him. But i like adam and kris too. ooh i rmb one of my first posts and it featured Kris who was my fav at tt moment. I think i have a knack for picking Idol winners. Totally knew David Cook was gonna win the moment i saw him during the audition rounds and now kris. hahahah. lets see what happens next year (:

And So It Goes

2009-05-12T18:56:00.004+08:00

NTU's Psychology department is using psychology to get ppl to accept their offer. I got an invitation to their tea party this sat at the Pan Pacific. Free food! hahahahhhahahahahahahahahahahahhah! hmm should i be an evil person and go although I'm not gonna accept?

Anyone else but you

2009-05-11T22:57:00.003+08:00

Have been busy tutoring my youngest brother for the past two days and will continue to do so this week cuz he's having back to back papers this week. [so sorry guys, that means this week is a no no for going out ): ] Anyhoo made time on Sat to meet up with the guys. its true what they say about guys in NS: they talk non-stop bout NS (hahaha) and they drop pounds like nobody's business. Chatting with Jon and HG was nothing short of hilarious. Its funny how we can talk for hours and not get bored. Unfortunately, I had to leave at around 10.45 cuz of my stupid curfew. sucks shit right! yes i know. (its so unfair!)

And I'm so into sewing at the moment. I'm thinking of joining a sewing class. Hmm my long term goal is to do up my own dress! how cool would i be! But I'm taking baby steps at the moment and I'm doing something calling stem stitch. Its awesome i tell you. I can use it to personalise clothes and basically anything that has cloth/fabric. I love it!

So when i went to the library yst, i borrowed 2 sewing books and I'm so excited bout starting on my next project.

ugh i cant wait for this week to end because then i wouldn't need to teach my lil bro for a month or so. don't get me wrong, i love Nabil but sometimes, scratch that, he's laziness drives me NUTS all the time!!! I just wish he'd be less lazy, he would be so smart.

Anyhoo this week will be a boring week ahead cuz i'll prolly be stuck at home teaching him. so till my next update, au revoir!

Be Okay

2009-05-09T00:39:00.004+08:00

Izzie: You never know the biggest day of your life is going to be the biggest

Alex:

Today's the day my life begins.

All my life I've been just a me,just a smart mouth kid.

Today I become a man,today i become a husband.

Today I become accountable to someone other than myself.

Today I become accountable to you, to our future, to all the possibilities our marriage has to offer.

Together no matter what happens, I'll be ready, for anything, for everything.

To take on life, to take on love, to take on possibility and responsibility.

Today Izzie Stevens, our life together begins.

I for one can't wait.

It was so beautiful i replayed the scene and wrote down the vows. The writers at Grey's Anatomy are awesome. To come up with something so perfect. I could not help but weep while watching this episode. If only guys in Singapore were as romantic as Alex in this episode. Sighs. (Yes i know this is a fictional show, but a girl can dream, can't she?)

Stuck in the Moment

2009-05-07T22:03:00.005+08:00

Darn it! The pair of F21 jeans that i wanted is out!!! Went to check the Wisma outlet again yst. On the bright side i saw this gorgeous pair of jeans!!! But they didn't have it in my size!!!! it was either too big or too small! ugh! going to Vivo's one to check the stock there. *crosses fingers* that it would still be there! Shopping with Cass yst was cool. bought loads of hair accessories! got 3 headbands, a few hair clips and a hairband. almost bought what i call a "Selena Gomez" hat. Its a floppy beret. i can totally pull it off ok!!! (in fact, i could totally rock the floppy beret look! hehehe (: )

Anyhoo, I'm so excited! I'm gonna get my own laptop soon!! Get this, so there's a laptop shared among the kids, two PCs and my maid has her own laptop and so does my elder sis. When i get mine there's gonna be what? 6 computers/laptops at home! Hmm, what model should i get? I'll prolly need help from a computer expert like Anje (:

Going back to IJ tmr to pick up my testimonial etc etc. Hopefully i don't bump into teachers/ppl that i don't like.

AI update: Allison went home today. i like her though. she has spunk and her own style. Plus her duet with Adam was off the hook! (hhahahhaa! cant believe i just said that!) This means that its gonna be an all male finals as i predicted earlier on. For a moment i thought Adam would be getting the boot because they brought Chris Daughtry this week and showed how successful he turned out despite losing the title to Taylor Hicks. (ooh. Tough luck! i was so so so surprised when during the result show a few years back. His expression was hilarious! you can totally tell he was caught off guard. he didn't even bother to fake a smile lah!) But i guess i was glad i was wrong. How totally unfair would it have been if Adam had gone out this week.

Soccer update: Go youtube the video of Ballack chasing after the referee in yst's match against Barcelona. It is super funny!

Will keep updating! till then, au revoir!

White Flag

2009-05-06T10:52:00.003+08:00

Ugh didn't get to WKWSCI. ): Got psychology instead. Hmm kinda disappointed, but not really. I mean i still have FASS. On the bright side I can't wait to start Uni soon! sounds so foreign. Uni. (: Anyhoo enough uni updates. And yes i know my blog layout sucks I'm trying to change the layout but am having a lot of problems as you can see. LOL. gonna do more research before attempt #2. Meeting up with Cass soon to pick up Jon's movies and for some shopping. hopefully retail therapy works. (oh. who am i kidding. Retail therapy always works!)

Family Potrait

2009-05-02T22:56:00.003+08:00

Family- Sometimes i feel like strangling each and everyone of them but when things go right, I can't help but love them (:

EPL Update: Man U won, keeping them at the top of the table with a comfortable lead. Phew. Chewed my nails off! hahaha.

2009-04-29T20:06:00.002+08:00

Good news and bad news time. Good news: Finally received the package from NUS. It seemed so surreal, like a scene from the movies when i opened it (though i knew i was accepted). lol. Bad news: while i was rollerblading at the void deck i saw Sam collecting letters from her letterbox. I knew she got her acceptance letter from WKWSCI when she grinned excitedly at me. i was super happy for her on one hand, but on the other i was disappointed that i didnt get one too. ugh! i know i sound like a spoilt brat who must get what she wants. Even i roll my eyes when i re-read my uni enteries on the blog. But wkwsci is what i've wanted from the begining. yes, yes, yes. i am grateful that i got into FASS, honestly i am, but it'll be even greater to get into WKWSCI. Silver lining: But if there's one thing i've learnt from this experience, its that i have to be patient. Some of my good friends have yet to receive their acceptance letters and i should be patient. Let the elites reject SCI then i can get my chance. haahahahah. For now i shall wait, pray and breathe. and try not to get too stressed bout my situation. (ugh seriously i should take a chill pill)

Chocolate High

2009-04-28T22:39:00.004+08:00

Quick update before watching CSI. Went out with my dear babes, Jas couldn't make it though. Her poor niece, Bavleen, was sick so she had to stay home and help around. Plus Sak was schooling so that poor girl couldn't come. Y'all are missed dears. So anyhoo, i met Andrina at AMK before MRT-ing to City Hall. We alighted and headed to Raffles City cuz i needed coffee and Drina needed to go to the toilet. LOL. Since it was pouring, i decided to get a hot caramel macchiato from Starbucks.

We then met Faj at Bugis and had a quick bite at Macs before heading to Haji lane. We didn't see anything interesting enough so we decided to go to F21 in Vivo. I wanted to get a pair of skinny jeans but i wanted it in black and grey so i decided to wait till i visited the Wisma branch. Faj tried out this maxi tube dress and she looked stunning i tell you! absolutely gorgeous! Drina got a pair of jeans and a bag for her upcoming trip. We stopped by Candy Empire too. Faj then left for driving and me and Drina met Anje at F21 Wisma. Anje got the same pair of jeans Drina got and additional tank tops. Then Anje also left for driving. They'll prolly meet each other at driving school. Lol.

After Anje went off, I accompanied Drina to change the money for her trip. She withdrew $2000!!! I felt so paranoid for a moment that someone might snatch the cash. Went to Lucky plaza then to change the money. There were so many money changers around, i think they have to compete competitively. Though they advertised a higher exchange rate, don't be afraid to haggle. We managed to get good exchange rates! The best rates compared to the money changer her mom went to and the one in Vivo. I felt so excited changing money by myself for the first time cuz for all my trips, my dear mother has been doing it for me (: Aww man! We should totally have an overseas trip together girls! We headed home at around 8 plus and bounced from Orchard. On our way home me and Drina talked bout her preparations for the trip. Have a safe and happy trip dear! I'll miss you loads!

PS: I cant wait to go for my next holiday now. Damn it. And yes, i know CSI has started. I am multitasking (:

Stunned Out

2009-04-28T00:32:00.005+08:00

OMG OMG OMG!!!! I GOT ACCEPTED TO NUS FASS!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!! I AM SO SO SO DELIRIOUSLY PSYCHED!!!!!

Don't give up ppl! If my average grades can get in I'm absolutely sure y'all can make it too (: Keep your fingers crossed and pray!!!

Smile

2009-04-26T14:15:00.005+08:00

Had a great day yst! It started with meeting up with a few of the Germany Trip ppl- Nafe, Nic, Cass, MJ, Candice. They took ages to decide a place to eat and finally settled on Subway. I didn't eat though. firstly cuz its not halal ): and also because i had eaten at home before meeting them. We headed to Safra for bowling but had to wait for about 45 mins before any lane was free. Meanwhile we played with Casse's cool SLR and chatted bout school etc. When we finally got to play, the fun began! I had my first 2 strikes just one short of a turkey before lady luck turned its back on me. lol. the others didn't believe how noob i was till after i ran out of luck and played horribly hhahaha. Sarah then met us while . Sorry dear for being kinda harsh in the morn. ppl were pulling out last min and it was pissing me off. Unfortunately, I had to leave after one game to catch a movie with my clique from sec school. Sorry you guys.

So i met Caroline and OQX at Yishun MRT before heading to Boon Lay's JP to catch 17 again. But because we missed the timing, we watched Taken instead. Totally action packed and a lot of killing involved. Throughout the whole movie i kept feeling sorry for Liam because his real wife just died bout a month ago during a skiing trip accident. Anyhoo, the movie was ok though.

We then had dinner at Thai express. the food was decent enough but sadly, the Tom Yam soup was very lemony- hence, overpowering the Tom Yam taste. I had Green curry Chicken which was yummy. not too spicy, not mild either. After dinner we decided to go to Hagen Daz for chocolate fondue. A little pricey at 52 but it was not tt bad. As expected, the ice cream was good! Chatted about YT and bitched about teachers we had in the past. hahahhhahha. Aww i miss goofing with them. Esp given the diversity in the gang. On the long ride home we chatted about how we were all initially afraid of OQX. Man tt girl has changed for the better yet retained her feistiness and her spirit that we all love. Esther and Oqx followed me to get a Zinger burger at NP for my lil sis. We were chatting at the bus interchange while waiting for Esther's bus to arrive cuz me and oqx can take the same bus. While we were waiting Oqx spotted Esther's sis. For goodness sake Esther couldn't even recognise her own sister at first! LOL!

So i had buckets of fun yst! Can't wait to meet both groups of friends again! Separately though cuz yst was super rushed for me. Beach outing next guys! Sun, sand and the sea baby!! :) Will upload pics soon k (:

PS: Super proud of Man U comeback! Thank gawd!

Lovers in Japan

2009-04-24T11:21:00.003+08:00

Finally met up with the babes yst. Anje couldn't come because her grandma fell. Take care of your grandma dear. So we were suppose to meet at 1 at City Hall and I was on time as usual. Jasvin came soon after. We chatted and walked around Raffles City and Marina Square while waiting for Drina and Faj. They arrived at around 2. We finally decided to walk around Arab Street and Haji Lane. I showed them the place i got my curtains and Faj showed us this shop that sold bags. She got this leather backpack for 60 bucks (from the usual 75 tt they displayed). She is horrible at haggling! But because she used my card to pay for it she paid 62 instead. We then headed to Haji Lane. Drina was looking for a sling bag to bring with her on her holiday next week. She didn't manage to get one big enough and in the end i got this gorgeous pair of berms from this quaint lil boutique. It was on sale from 65 to 32.50. FRIGGING HALF PRICE!!! I was like that is a good deal. In the end, Faj and drina to leave at 5- driving and drina meeting her friend.

I then went to Orchard to meet my mom and sis for a Paragon Metro members only sale. But while waiting for them i went to F21 Wisma and i saw a pretty tube dress and jeans that actually looked nice on me! Can't wait to get them! Metro was crowded like crazy lah. G2000 within Metro itself was having this major sale. I got a super nice blazer for 39 bucks! i mean where in the world can you get a sweet deal like there. I also got this mega bargain! 35 bucks for 2 sets of matching bra and underwear from Pierre Cardin. Excellent deal right! i know!!!

Can't wait to meet the girls on Tues again. Hopefully Anje can make it this time (: Its super fun!

Picture to Burn.

2009-04-19T00:48:00.006+08:00

DISCLAIMER: This is a rant post. If you feel like feeling better about yourself cuz now you know that someone other than yourself is also having a bad day, then go ahead and read this. I know you want to. I would to if i were having a bad day. Then i wouldn't be feeling as lousy as i am now.

Today SUCKS. Well actually yesterday sucks. I got so depressed about WKWSCI tt i started crying. i know its silly but i just felt so horrid. Its another day in my shoes, getting disappointed about another school that i want but cant get into. Honestly, i expected to react better having dealt with this kind of disappointment countless of times before. But i guess gg to the talks earlier on made me feel like shit if i dont get accepted cuz i want it bad.

And when i wanted to vent my anger and play a violent game, Counter Strike, (yes, I'm old school) MY FREAKING ACCOUNT WAS DELETED!!!! And I'm on hard so its really tough!!! and its gone! I hate (for now) (ok i agree that hate is a strong word but I'm feeling like crap now so i get to use harsh words) my sibling, whoever deleted it, regardless if it was by accident or done purposely. If it was accidental, have the freaking guts to tell me and not deny it! F*** it! Gosh, my first crude, vulgarity on this blog. Shows you how bad this day is gg for me. *Takes deep breaths and counts to 10*

Anyhoo, think I'm gonna finish this awesome book I'm reading now to calm me before zoinking out. nights.

Shattered

2009-04-18T23:06:00.004+08:00

I'm feeling exhausted. I went to NTU in the morn and then later to Chinatown with my guides juniors to help them get beads. Mind you i was wearing wedges from 7.30a.m to 9p.m ok!

Had to wake up pretty early, like at 6 plus to get ready for the reception which was at 9 at NTU. Seeing how NTU was at Boon Lay and i lived in Yishun, i had to get up that early. Met Sam(antha-as in my pri school friend and neighbour) at 7.30 and we headed to NTU together. Met Faj and Marsling and then Ann at Boon Lay. At first it was a pretty awkward thing because all 3 of them were from diff groups of friends. Sam was an old friend, Faj one of my good friends and Ann a recent acquaintance tt i think is cool. But in the end, it was all good.

When we reached WKWSCI it was a typical scenario of the herd mentality. Everyone was looking ard not sure where to head to, instead we were following each other to the wrong location. Finally this kind auntie who was sweeping told us to take the elevator to the LT. We had the talks etc etc. There was this professor that looked so like Spike from Buffy. Faj agreed. (and after making new friends there, we found out tt other ppl thought so too) Diana Ser addressed us. She is so goddamn pretty lah. I sorta became her momentary stalker, staring at her (even as we were taking our food during lunch). hahahahaha. We then got to eat. the food was ok. nothing great but i didn't expect the spread we got, so it was a pleasant surprise. We sat at one of the benches and made friends with a bunch of SA girls. We were suppose to go for this school tour but after seeing that not many ppl were going and how hesitant Faj and Ann were about the tour we decided to give it a miss. Faj and Sam headed home together whereas Ann and I headed to City Hall. I was waiting for my juniors and she, her SMU interview.

We had coffee at Starbucks and then went to Accesorize to get a headband tt i wanted. There were two in the packaging so we shared and received one each. Rushed to meet my jnrs at City Hall mrt where i stupidly went through the turnstile. In the end we decided to take the bus from CH so i paid what, close to 2 bucks for nothing. We surveyed the shops and afterwards got some of the beads and materials they needed to make jewelry. They were kinda cute to hang out with. Granted a little childish, but ok lah. I had fun. I left at ard 8 cuz i had dinner plans. Yes, we spent abt 5 hours choosing beads and stuff. Will update more later on.

Ugh I'm feeling so depressed now. Don't think tt I'll get to WKWSCI. I think everyone there did much better. Once again, I'm gonna be so disappointed when the school posting is out. Never fails to happen. I guess i should start getting used to it. Happened thrice already. What makes this any different. Yes, I am in a self wallow, pity and sorrow period. lemme get through this for a while. I'll be alright after a week max.

Believe

2009-04-17T16:33:00.003+08:00

Followed my mom to get curtain cloth yesterday. Sorry Drina and Anje for cancelling on y'all. Anyhoo, we headed to Marsling at first but most of the shops were closed so we decided to head to Arab Street to get the cloth. When we got there there was this shop with tons of different fabrics. It was awesome! Plus they were having a sale so the cloth were super cheap starting at 2 dollars per meter. We got cloths for 4 of the bedrooms in my house. spent close to $150 and tts considered a steal! i saw this gorgeous printed fabric that i wanted to get to make into a dress. should i? it was so pretty!! The uncle was a rather nice guy and i think we're gg back there to get more fabric. On our way home we bought Zam Zam's murtabak. I mean how can you go to Arab street without getting their murtabak right??? Went to Northpoint to pick up some stuff before heading home. I was so happy with the fabrics. Can't wait for my mom to finish sewing them up. (:

Ps I'm excited for tmr's WKWSCI reception. i hope i don't mess up. i really wanna go there.

Bitter Sweet Symphony

2009-04-14T23:24:00.004+08:00

The interview sucked! My goddamn nerves got the better of me. But that being said, i tend to think the worst of myself so we'll see when the results are out.

Anyhoo before going to the interview, I was supposed to meet Anje and Faj at Sembawang Shopping Centre at 11. but Faj had to bring her sis to the doctors so she cancelled. (i don't blame you dear) and ANJE WAS SO SO SO LATE!!! She arrived at about 1.15 lah! Considering that i had to leave at abt 2 for my interview we didn't have much time to look ard. What did i do while waiting for her? I read my book at Starbucks. Had a Caramel Macchiato. So anyways when Anje arrived we went to daiso. If i get to stay at the dorms in Uni, I'll prolly head there to get the essentials. Headed to SMU at ard 2.

When i reached SMU i had to wait at the waiting room for my turn and there was this friendly cute guy. He's nice. I was like, dang it should have arrived earlier. So i talked to the him and the other girl waiting for her turn. By then i was feeling pretty nervous alr. So when my name was called, i was super fidgety. I think i rambled on and on, maybe even going off topic. Well, since its over i wont discuss bout it.

After the interview, i met Andrina and we did some walking/window shopping till 8. Now i cant wait for Thurs. Anje, Drina and I are gg to the new Tampines 1 mall. watching CSI now. will update soonish (:

Wonderwall

2009-04-13T22:54:00.002+08:00

Ooh I'm kinda/sorta nervous. I'm going for SMU's interview tmr. i have to say that their school is rather efficient. I sent in my application on the 8th and they called me up today to tell me bout the interview. Ugh i just realised that I don't know what to wear. I'm not too nervous bout the interview per se, but its the whole interview process that gets to me. I know, i know what I'm rambling about makes little sense but its true. Hmm i wonder what they'll ask? I guess i have to wait for tmr to find out. The funny thing is that even if i do get accepted to SMU i may not choose to accept. BUT nothing's certain yet. I might change my mind after the interview. Will keep updating (:

Stunned Out

2009-04-12T17:56:00.003+08:00

I like the new Sembawang Shopping Centre!!! Ugh i think its a million times better than the new Northpoint! I followed my mom there for the "annual monthly" groccery shopping. (Inside joke at my bimbo moment) hmm maybe its the new/novelty period, which explains my over enthusiasm for the place. hahaha. but anyhoo I'm definitely going there again to check out the stores more thoroughly. Anyone wanna come along?

A Place in this World

2009-04-11T12:25:00.003+08:00

I just got the email for the reception to NTU WKWSCI!!! yay! I'm so psyched!!! I guess its a sorta informal interview but still!! i hope i don't screw it up. I really wanna go to WKWSCI! *crosses fingers* Wish me luck! :)

2009-04-09T16:30:00.003+08:00

I can't remember crying so much for a movie besides Armageddon. But after watching Bucket List i cried like nobody's business. It's an extremely bittersweet ending and I was crying like crazy lah. i think my maid who was beside me when i started sobbing must think that I'm a loser. but i cant help it. It was so so sad. terrific movie (:

Beauty

2009-04-08T16:55:00.005+08:00

Just watched the finale of Beauty and the Geek S3 and i must say that i love love love the show and totally agree that Megan and Scooter deserve to win. though i love Nate too. I think tt Ceci fakes her Blondie-ness. I think she's rather smart but hides it. Gonna watch Season 1 on the laptop :) will keep updating. PS Faj: watched Greek yet? Its super super nice/funny!!!

The Winners!!! Ps Scooter looks way hot after the makeover!!! (: Yes the bearded guy is the same person as the guy in the smaller pic.

Must i say more?

Smells like Teen Spirit

I PIECED MY EARS AGAIN!!! wohoo!!! but i kinda chickened out on the up the ear piercing. lol. i guess it didnt hurt the first time i did the second earhole piercing bcuz it was an impulsive thingy. This time i kept contemplating over and over again. so the pain prolly was an exaggerated thing in my mind. (sounds lame i know, but its true ok!)

I pierced my ears on mon with sakino before heading to Jasvin's place for the sleepover. Sakino also added two purple streaks on her hair while we were in town. Sak and I were late because of the bloody rain that took forever to stop. But in the end we managed to meet Jas, her BF and anje sitting at coffee bean. Kevin was sweet enough to get for Jasvin Strawberry Cheescake ice cream from Marina because they didnt have it at Sembawang. I was like wow, tts impressive! so extra brownie points for Kevin (:

When we reached her place, Kiwi, her dog, was already tied up but it was jumping around and it was super hyper!!!!! i think it was comparable to Joi Joi but at least Joi Joi was small (relatively) compared to Kiwi. But Jas's mom kept an eye on the dog so i felt ok. Her new place, though ulu, was gorgeous! it was spaceous and airy. I loved it! It has a modern yet homey feeling. two thumbs up for the desigh and construction! :)

When all of us arrived, we decided to paint our nails. I was a noob lah! tts because i've never painted my nails. Anje was so sweet lah! she helped me paint my nails. hahha. We talked and laughed while painting nails which was fun!!! i want to do it again! then we had dinner at the rooftop. a romantic place. Then finally we had the movie/tv marathon which started with Friends. Before i knew it, it was already 4 plus lah. I got sleepy so i fell asleep. woke up early at ard 8.30. We chatted, ate and bathed and eventually left at ard 12 cuz jasvin had driving. Sak and i had time to kill before collecting our testimonial, so she decided to add more streaks in her hair. Anje and drina wanted to do tt too so we headed to Far East.

Finally at ard 5 we reached innova to collect our testi and thereafter sak, drina and i had icecream at Swensons before heading home at around 6. To you girls: I love y'all and thank you Jasvin for your lovely home.

will post pictures when Faj and Drina uploads them. :)

MAN U JUST CAME BACK FROM a losing end at a 2-1 match til the 79th minute to a 3-2 win!!!! I am freaking ecstatic! take that Liverpool! Y'all scored a last minute winner too yst. Feeling sucks for your rivals huh! wohoooo!!!! Phew! was about to cry once more. I feel so so relieved!

Anyhoo, I've got a huge dilemma. (not really lah. Just exaggerating as usual :P) My fault probably. I told me mom i was about to pierce my ears again and she totally freaked out! damn! so now i dunno whether i should pierce my ears tmr or wait another day. i mean i know I'm gonna do it, but now tt she's freaking out, i may have to do it another day.

The wedding earlier on was fun (unexpectedly). Natalia, my younger sis made a new buddy! haahaha. A joker like her i suppose. But there were many moments when i felt like strangling my dad, Jo and Natasha(my elder sis). long story. PS: Cant wait for tmr's sleepover/movie marathon at Jasvin's new crib. hahahaha. cant believe i just used the word crib (: Will keep updating! but for now, nights!

Lesson Learnt

2009-04-05T12:26:00.006+08:00

Ok this is a quick update before i head to a wedding. Anje posted the polaroids that we took at Starbucks on Thurs and boy do i like polaroids (: Initially Thurs was supposed to be a walk around the "uluated" areas. But faj was still a little sick so we couldn't do the walk thing. We ended up as usual in Starbucks where we met Jasvin and her BF, Kevin. Tt poor guy had sore eyes or smtg like tt so he kept dabbing his eyes with a piece of tissue. Overall I think we all approved of him. He seemed like a genuine person and i suppose that Jasvin's attracted to that quality. Jas had to leave earlier cuz she had a driving lesson to attend. So after she left, we headed to Raffles Place/Marina Square and City Link to do some shopping. Anje and i bought navy blue stockings from Topshop. She also got a belt from Dorothy Perkins. Faj spent $90 on this gorgeous ethnic top from Zara and Drina a shorts. We headed home at around 9.30 and bounced home. It was a lovely day with my dearest girls. ooh ooh! Anje got us bracelets from Hawaii but forgot to pass Jasvin hers. Thanks Dear! they're super pretty.

Friday was spent at girl guides. They were having their promo tests and i must say tt the test was hard. hahahaha. Ps Jia en thanks for the sweet pink cupcake necklace. I'm really touched. (: Thank Jia Hui for passing it to me (:

Finally got Sat to rest a little. And I'm gg to a wedding soon. Will post pictures later on (:

UPDATE: the pictures (:

The 5 of us ( Sak you should have been here!!!) Ps: thanks to Kevin for taking the pics and Anje for scanning them.

Pretty right!!! The picture i mean.

my new stockings (:

My pretty hawaii bracelet. (:

hmm something weird just happened. After showering when i got home, i had to open the door for my brother who just got home. While i was talking to him, i heard a cat purring. So i looked out and i saw a stray cat at my doorstep! the weird part is that we live on the eighth floor! So its super duper peculiar that a cat shows up at my doorstep at 11.30P.M. I called my maid out and we started to shoo it out of the house. i didn't want to ok! but if my mom knew we let a cat in, we would be SO dead! Then that poor cat started to do adorable acts!!!ugh its so unfair tt I'm a sucker for cats lah! it gave those big eyes exactly like Puss in Boots in Shriek and rolled around on its back! i mean i just couldn't resist ): So Aunty (i call my maid tt) and I tossed a meatball at it for it to eat. I think Cat (tts what I'm gonna call it) loved it because what happened next was kinda freaky! Thank god i closed the door before the next few events. But secretly i was looking behind the curtains. It caught me staring and started purring. but i knew better than to give in once more. So i didn't do anything this time. Cat started climbing up the shoe rack and pounced on the window! that totally caught me off guard so i yelped. But then it started being cute again. This time i really knew i couldn't afford to give it another meatball so i pretended to go away. But hehehe i was looking from a different angle only.

After a while i think Cat went away. If it comes back i will definitely keep y'all updated (: Ps I'm sad tt Megan is out of AI cuz she's a great singer (though i wish she had picked better songs). Man the female contestants on AI are getting picked off one by one this season! waddya tell you bout an all male finale! (hmm lil Rounds may have a chance though :) )Anyhoo, I'm kinda tired after today's UBER fun outing with my babes. Will update bout the outing tmr. (: Here's some pics of Cat i managed to snap with my phone (:

Where i first saw Cat.

Cat sitting at my doorstep giving the Puss in Boots pose. Ugh i couldn't say no after that.

It was about to do the rolling thing cats do.

Cat eating the meatball (:

Another week coming to an end! i spent yesterday accompanying my mom to CK Tangs to pick up a voucher and then visiting my windowed aunt. It was her birthday. So we got this apple pie from a store at the Tangs Market at the basement. She's a very cheerful lady and meeting her always lightens my mood despite her situation. My mom told me that since I've been accompanying her for so many occasions that i have a new job: to accompany her when she goes out. I mean that's a darn good job cuz when i want something when we're out i pretty much can ask her for things that i want and she would (after some contemplation) agree.

Hmm today on the other hand was kinda wasted. I had to pass to my elder sis some of her stuff that she left at home. So i had to travel all the way to Boon Lay to meet her and travel all the way home cuz I'm broke after spending my allowance on paying up my library fines, tt i incurred for my library card and my parents, I'm not left with much to spend! cuz after my card hit the max fine penalty for borrowing i resorted to borrowing their cards. hehe. Gawd the fines amounted close to 30 bucks lah! and its not like I'm working so it came from my allowance cuz my mom says that she has enough of my expenses to pay. [ i kinda agree because she has to pay for my phone bill and credit card bill ;) ] So i couldn't afford to eat with her. Though she could have paid i feel bad cuz she always treats me for stuff when i stay over. (or when i say I'll pay her later but drag it and eventually don't) My evening/night was fun because i have the skating obsession currently so i kept rollerblading. Sadly, I'm an amateur though. but still, its fun!!! My younger sister is a pro and make it seem so easy! even my mom tried to skate and since she has small feet she could fit into my younger brother's. She was uber adorable lah!

Speaking of busy busy week, I'm meeting drina and gang tmr and guides on fri. Boy does time fly! Especially for someone who's living on a day by day basis. (: I'm currently watching AI. I like Megan but why does she keep picking wrong songs?? UGH! and now that Alexis is gone, it'll prolly be an all male finale (:

Will keep updating y'all ;P

Another busy weekend. I spent Friday between my guides and the germany trip gang. It was speech day at YT so the school was ridiculously "made up". The usual blue and yellow benches were replaced with metallic square tables covered with a red table cloth and on top of each table there was a decorative bowl and rose petals! UGH! how fake! So anyhoo i tried to lighten the mood for the performing guides cuz some of them were nervous. Y'all will do great!I waited for Nikita to come before leaving cuz i hadn't seen her in ages! She looked great and was still Niki. So once she arrived and was as usual mingling around, i had to hurry and leave because i had to meet Jon at the MRT before heading up to prata house for the gathering. We were super late. but i think the thought counts so it was ok. I was rather disappointed to see that only Nic, Lydia, Nasri and Cass were there. But hey they're cool and so all's good! We ate and chatted before heading to Icekimo to eat ice-cream! i have never seen that place before so it was a cool new place that i discovered. I had a waffle with a scoop of blueberry cheesecake ice cream! yum! (but i think that B & Js's one cheesecake and strawberry cheesecake is da best!) Headed home at around 9.45. On our way home, my mom called and told me that i had to get Haagen Daz ice cream for my dad's bday.

So at 12 midnight me and mom surprised my dad with the ice cream for his birthday. I just love surprises! (: So anyhoo Sat was spent with my family celebrating my dad's bday. I cant wait for his bday next year! He'll be getting his pension pay out so whoo hoo! that's a separate amount from his CPF payout. hehehe (; anyhoo, I think he liked one of his present, the running shoes, that he wore it the whole day! hmm i can't wait for my birthday. I'll prolly be adjusting to uni life. Ooh a few of my friends already got accepted into the courses of their choice so congrats you guys (:

PS: I'm excited about starting school soonish! Wohoo!!! A new phase of my life!

I'll upload the pics when Cass uploads them ok (:

15 Steps

2009-03-25T22:23:00.006+08:00

Went SHOPPING today with my mom and sis. My big sis joined us after her classes at around 2. Saw this gorgeous pair of stilettos in Isetan. However the had this kinky chain thing that i didn't exactly adore. But man oh man those heels were HOT!!! Eventually I got a pair from Charles and Keith Wisma. My mom and sis kept discouraging me from getting those killer heels cuz i have been wearing flats for quite some time as y'all prolly know (: So i decided to start slow & get a shorter heel before working my way up to wearing 10 inch heels in the future!MUAHAHAHAHA! My mom on the other hand spent about $350 on just moisturiser and a foundation powder thingy from Lancome! the moisturiser was $250 for a 50 ml cream!!! The salesgirl was nice and patient but in a way made me horrified! She kept going on about how our skin quality erodes over time. Because my mom spent so much, she gave us a small tester bottle of their perfume Miracle each. It smells so lovely! I miss shopping.

The Shoe box.

My shoes

So sad that it isn't as high as i wanted it to be ):

Broken Strings

2009-03-23T15:36:00.004+08:00

I saw the good, bad and ugly of cheerleading yesterday. Went to support Drina's team for the cheerobics competition. It was held at Zouk's carpark. and me being the non-party-ier person that i am, i had no idea where that was. So i overshot taking the train to Dhoby Ghaut before i found out that i was suppose to have alighted at Somerset or even Orchard. Getting instructions from Sakino who was already there was so troublesome. Plus the noise coming from the background was awfully loud so i could barely hear her. I almost gave up and wanted to take a cab. hahhaa. But remembering HG's sneers and snide comments about my "magical power" to get a cab everytime i get lost made me determined to prove that i could find my way around without a cab! so i started wondering around Somerset looking for a bus stop. Gawd it was awful! I felt so lost! in the end i realised that i was looking at the wrong side. hahahaha. So i finally got onto the correct bus and arrived there on time! Yay me!

So anyhoo i met up with Sak and i tried to calm Drina down but she was nervous as anyone can expect. Saw the Ad Astra team and some ex innovians. PS to my clique: The incredible hulk, W, lost so much weight and is no longer the hulk! he could actually be hot (but not really)! A, aka the witch, would totally regret breaking up with him if she saw him! Then there was this bitchy senior,G, of hers that i didn't like because she has the i am better than thou attitude which pisses me off and she was so hostile. ugh bitch! so anyhoo she had to give us the VIP media pass so that we could get a good video of the Sharxs cheer performance. So me and Sak got a clear view and it was fun being camera girl for once. hahahaah. But i felt so awkward cuz the other few ppl there had those professional camera's that looked so cool! So me and Sak (who had to take the stills) started our cool job as the camera/video ppl. (:

The Sharx.

The Girl flipped and it was so cool!

Watched the many many performances and screamed like crazy! Ps the MC was a horrible one. he kept repeating the same lines over and over and he introduced teams wrongly on several occasions! ok, ok i know that it is not easy being an MC but come on! Couldn't they hire a professional since S'pore is trying to make Cheerleading a youth Olympic sport or smtg like that? Me and Sak left earlier at around 5.30 to grab a bite before our original plan to go home. But in the end we did some shopping, or should i say window shopping? but can you call it window shop if you try out the dresses? Ugh speaking of money i need it!!!loads of it. not only my allowance! i want shopping money!!! So we walked/shopped/window shopped till 8 cuz sak needed to have dinner with her family.

I bounced from Orchard. But when i texted drina when i was at Marina Bay to ask her bout the results, she didn't know how to go home and i wasn't good with giving directions so i went back to pick her up. That plus she was upset bout the things her AWFUL/BITCHY/PLAIN SPOIL SPORT AND IDIOTIC comments her groupmates said. Horrid ppl that lack sportsmanship is all i can say! ugh i was so so so pissed lah! come on! be honest! your lame-ass last "stunt" of putting the flyer on your shoulder would not have given you the additional points to let y'all win lah!!! and just because you put in effort, time and money means you deserve to win??!!!! Then every freaking group deserves to win! and you don't blame a fellow groupmate for loss!!! That is plain f***ing bitchy you freaking bitches! ugh!

Ok now that i got that out of my chest i can breathe normally instead of the short heavy breaths I've been taking while ranting. hehehe. So i guess the good part of going yesterday was that it made me excited bout starting school soonish and made me feel like i wanted to be part of a team. The bad part was tt i was sad to see that the school you're from still makes a difference whether you win or lose. (won't say much besides this, secondary school category!) And obviously the ugly part was seeing a good friend of mine feeling guilty for something she didn't do. To my dear dear friend: Don't give up your passion cuz some horrid bitches make you feel bad bout smtg that you should not have been blamed for! I love ya loads dear. Cant wait to see the sparkle in your eyes once more (: MUAKS!

Ps: DO NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT SOCCER. LAUGH AND YOU SHALL PAY! WE WILL BOUNCE BACK GLORIOUSLY! AND WHEN WE WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP WE'LL SEE WHO HAS THE LAST LAUGH!

Went to visit my grandpa in the hospital again today. Hopefully he's recovering well. He looked happy to see us and honestly, i was too. We ate at the food court in SGH and i must say that the chili/ sambal belacan from the nasi ayam penyet was uber spicy! like on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the spiciest, I'd say 8/9? But the company was great so i had a blast! (which was so unexpected cuz the ppl there were my youngest brother and sister:Nabil and Natalia, my parents and like duh my grandad.

Before meal. (he was acting by the way!) (aiyoh his belly button is showing. Hmm its looks kinda weird huh.)

After meal! (:

When we arrived home, Talia and i decided to make quiche! She learned how to make it in her home econs class in school. It turned out delish! I love love love cheese! But next time we do it, the base's gonna be a little thinner. (:

Quiche baking (:

A plate of quiche.

All the quiche we made (: Yum!

Beautiful love

Just went to YT sec one camp "campfire" with JE. She met me at my void deck but i had to go up again because i forgot to grab my wallet. then she wanted to borrow shorts cuz i was wearing a tee and shorts and she was in her "work clothes" ie: a skirt. So she came up and changed into one of my shorts. On our way to school we stopped by at Esso to grab a sandwich from the delifrance counter. Finally we reached school! Was kinda disappointed that they didn't start a kick ass campfire instead they used a cool lighting device as the "campfire". but JE was there so i had tons of fun! The atmosphere on the other hand, was so not campfire-ish lah! Usually all of us will be screaming and super hyper but the sec 1s were so quiet and so was the CC. Plus i found about the drama the campstaff were pulling off. To my dear sec 3s: Pls pls pls realise that guides is more than ranks! Babe: we will forever and always be the dynamic duo (: Love ya!

The "campfire". The quality of the pics suck because they were taken from my phone :P

Our (JE and I) singing buddies :)

JE acting camera shy (:

The famous BFF of mine, my beloved Yap Jia En (:

PS: babe you are getting really scrawny! Remind yourself to eat! or you're gonna end up all boney (oh wait you already did!)

Hey! Haven't been updating for 2 days because I've been super busy. Went to NUS open house on Sun and had a long day yst with my mom and sis.

Sun: I waited for Anje for like super duper long at Chua Chu Kang MRT. i think i sat on the bench for like 45 mins just listening to my MP3 and staring into space. hahaha. So we headed to NUS when she finally arrived and we were late for the FASS talk. But I've been listening to the same speech and presentation for 2 years so i didn't feel bad about missing out. I'm pretty certain i want to go to NUS FASS but there are pros and cons that i have to weigh. Another course I'm considering at the moment is NTU's communication studies. May not be able to get in but i might just give it a try. Anyhoo back to the open house, I saw so many ppl that i knew. Ting and Nasri, YX was there with her BF too and we chatted with her for some time. To YX: you should totally do what we were talking about. If he shows you no respect or takes you for granted, you should not tolerate it, rmb what Miss Su said! hahaha. We (anje and I) then met up with Anne and Drina. But we met drina for a short while only cuz she had to meet her senior. So after saying bye to her, anne anje and i left to grab a bite at Chua chu Kang. (Anne wanted to go to Cotton on after eating) We shared rojak and we each had our own individual meals too. I felt so cheated! the rojak was terrible and cost like 90cents a piece which was ridiculous!

We headed to Lot 1 after eating and went straight to Cotton on. I think that a lot of their clothes are overpriced. I mean come on, you charge $40 bucks for a cotton on dress. i might as well add a few more dollars and i can get quality items from Hula & co. or F21. But the good thing is that if you dig and search hard enough, you may find some cheap items (: I got this long cardigan for $15 and its dirt cheap i think (: so i was pretty happy with that. Anne got the same cardigan and a skirt and anje got a pink short cardigan (: I think we spent a lot of time there cuz we had to wait for Jing Yi anyways. Had ice cream after all that digging. I had Soya bean ice cream from Mr Bean. i think they make really good soya bean ice cream. hmm now i'm in the mood for B&Js. Damn all the talk about ice cream. Walked around more until we were tired. then headed home. JY went to meet her friend at Dhoby Ghaut. i was glad to make a new friend. Anne if you're reading this, you're a sweet girl and i had lots of fun! go plan the Malaysia shopping trip k (:

Whoa this is a long post so I'm gonna zoom by what happened yst. Met up with my sis and mom at SGH to visit my grandad at the hospital. He is super cute and i really love him. Plus he's really cute, teddy bear kinda cute :) hahaha.

See what i mean. :)

(PS look at the bottom of this entry for an update)

Went to PS thereafter to upgrade my sis's phone. Finally headed to Carrefour to do some monthly grocerries shopping. I love love love carrefour! its so huge and we spent like hours in there. Finally reached home at ard 7 plus. but whoa! what a day!

Will be heading to a guides campfire later on so will keep updating (:

UPDATE: Be the judge! do i look like me grandpa:

Tearin' up my heart

2009-03-15T12:09:00.003+08:00

Didn't blog yst cuz i felt so bloody depressed after watching the match. I shall not say more cuz damn what a shity game United played yst! I kinda dont blame them for losing. They must have been exhausted after the past few games. But how sad, to lose to that awful team. I wouldn't have minded losing to other lousy teams but this one hurt so bad.

Well anyhoo, The engagement party was fine. But the trip to our family's friend place was awful! My dad didnt come along so it was me, ibu, my sis and my lil bro. We took a cab there and the place was at woodlands/marsling and the cab driver was a total arse! He overshot and went up to Upper Thompson! Then he blamed US for talking loudly! I mean you can tell us to speak softer or smtg, you dont overshoot to upper thompson and blame it on the passenger. He even had the cheek to tell us we should leave his cab when we were in the middle of the highway!! I mean what a rude SOB!!! he is so gonna get a shelling from his boss when my sis complains cuz she's no pushover.

Anyways i needed to rant and now that i've done so, I'm gonna go to NUS open house to find out more (: Update later!

Tired

2009-03-13T21:22:00.010+08:00

Went for guides as usual today and i'm so tired now. They did outdoor cooking and i helped one of my juniors (Rashidah's patrol) to start a fire. I must say that they're version of outdoor cooking is way different from my days in guides. We had it way tougher. But still i was so excited to see that i could still make a kick ass fire! We cooked breadsticks-cheese and Nutella topping, Chicken, Cheese potatoes, Chocolate Bananas and roasted marshmallows. The marshmallows turned out icky because when you roast marshmallows, you're suppose to eat it immediately but they didn't so, umm it turned out quite disgusting. Hmm i'm too lazy/tired bored to blog more so here are some pics (:

My fire!! :P

The slackers getting told off by the CL.

Cooking the breadsticks.

The result- Breadsticks! Lighter coloured ones had a cheese topping and the burnt looking ones had Nutella topping.

The cooking process.

Checking whether the potatoes were cooked.

The rest of the food.

Icky Marshmallows.

Though the training was a little draining, i had fun as always. Hmm i think i may zoink out soonish. Have a wedding/engagement ceremony to attend tmr.

Best for Last

2009-03-12T22:16:00.010+08:00

Today was an absolutely fun fun fun day! Its my mom's b'day and we wanted to do a surprise celebration. So we didnt get her anything and said that my sis wasn't coming back from her dorm cuz she was busy. My brother has a sorta camp thing in school so he wasn't home. So she kept going on and on about how we always pick friends over family and blah blah blah. So i spent the whole day with her watching movies and baking more cupcakes :) Plus the whole day she kept going on about how she wanted to eat Swenson's Ice cream cake or a cheese cake. My mom's funny in a way that she doesn't like to eat whatever she cooks and prefers to eat other ppl's cooking or eat out. So my dad gave money to buy dinner and the cake. But my sis wanted to come home to surprise her and she wanted to retain her position as my mom's favourite daughter so she insisted that she would buy the cake and flowers. Plus we wanted to get her a nice present for her birthday, so we decided to get her a Bonia wallet.

So throughout the day i had to pretend that my sis wasn't coming home and deal with my mom's moaning and nagging. I also had to delay buying dinner because my sister wanted to eat hot food when she returned home at 8. So i left home at ard 6.30 to get dinner and pressie and to meet up with my sis. My maid came along cuz i wasn't gonna carry food for 8 ppl alone! after getting the food, i went to Bonia to get the wallet. but wearing a tee and shorts, the sales ppl were not hurrying to serve me. but thet were nice enough though. not snobbish. Once they realised that we were gonna buy and not look only, they became much nicer. hahaha. I saw this super nice wallet on sale at $50 bucks only lah! i want! But in the end we got my mom a black leather long wallet so she can keep her many cards. hahaha.

Since my sister insisted on surprising her i went home with my maid first and boy did i get a shelling for not getting the cake. She was like "i said get the cake first right! I wanted a cake and there's no cake! This food is not for me lah! Its for y'all! Y'all get to enjoy this not me! Blah blah blah!" Aiyoh i wanted so badly to scream and tell her the truth but what fun would that be? So i kept my mouth shut and endured! 10 mins later the hero arrived and i saw my mom smiling again! Miss Hero brought the cake, roses and the secret present. So we had a great celebration but the funnest part was giving her the unexpected pressie. My dad gave my mom cash for her b'day so when she opened the wallet she was like, "There's money!" ahahahahah! What a magical wallet! I would so buy it too lah! She realised that it was my dad's present so she began thanking all of us. She was so happy i felt that it was all worth the trouble. Hahaha. in the end she thanked me and sis for pulling off a wonderful birthday and i felt so proud lah! Ahh what a great day! :D Here are some pics:

The Lovely Roses my sis bought.

Pretty pink cupcakes my mom made (:

The highly demanded(by my mom) cake.

The secret present box.

You make me feel

2009-03-11T20:56:00.005+08:00

OMG Kris Allen is SO SO SO CUTE!!! I love him! Ok maybe this isn't the best pic of him but on stage he is so adorable!

hahaha. But on the other hand the other contestants were pretty darn good too!!! Esp Adam Lambert! he WAS AWESOME!!! like really good! i felt chills! Other of my favourites include: Lil rounds, Matt, Anoop, Danny, Megan, Alexis. (ps i thought that Matt reminded me of JT like almost immediately)

But seriously i was blown away by Adam, though i hate his makeup. He is really really good! I tell you he may very well be the next American Idol though David cook will always be my number 1 idol! :) Man I can't believe that 2 contestants are going back tmr! Oh i hope they aren't any of my favourites. plus the producers have smtg up their sleeves so i'm kinda excited

Sweetest Thing

2009-03-11T18:03:00.006+08:00

Made cupcakes with mom earlier on in the day.

They looked so pretty i didnt feel like eating them. hahaha. but in the end i gave in and boy did they taste GOOD! Hmm i think that I'm a good baker. Maybe i should open a bakery in the future. But having said that there are tons on bakeries out there what makes mine so special? Damn there goes one career option.

PS: Man U playing against Inter Milan later on in the night/morn. *crosses fingers*

2009-03-11T12:08:00.008+08:00

I met Hai Guang and Jon yesterday. Oh boy they never fail to make me laugh though sometimes i wish i could pluck my ears out because boys will be boys and ... get the drift?
So I met Jon Jon at 12-ish and we were supopose to meet HG at 12.30 at Far East to eat Ramen 10. BUT someone ended up late, and no its not me, coughhgcough, so me and Jon waited for about an hour for him. ( i realised that recently, I keep having to wait for ppl and not the other way round- like the other day when we went to eat ice cream at Island Creamery on the day we got our results i ended up waiting for Anje for about an hour-hmm maybe Karma is getting back at me) So anyways i ended up eating the lala ramen (like the one you ate the other time drina) and whoa it was spicy. But it was a good spicy. i loved sipping on the soup only cuz i didnt like the ramen. we then shared the mochi green tea ice cream. there were 4 red bean mochi surrounding a scoop of green tea ice cream. After we ate, we started talking more and somehow the topic went to some porno stuff that i have never heard before so i started covering my ears. hahaahahaha. they went on and on and on so i took out my mp3. ahahahahaahahhahahahaa. so when i took off my earphones they were talking about how a zookeeper's head got stuck in an elephant's ass for a few seconds. (EWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

After talking thrash for a while more we headed to Esplanade cuz HG wanted to borrow some Jap movies from the library there. ooh! while walking from clark quay to the Esplanade, cuz we got off the wrong bus stop, we saw a dead rat!(EWWWWWWWWW!!!) and we found out that HG cant stand dead animals. hahahaha, but seriously, i mean who can???? After Esplanade we ended up at Marina Square Starbucks, as usual, and continued chatting for a long time. i think i can talk to them forever and not get bored. HG displayed his singing pro-ness which sent me and jon into hysterics! oh god that was so so so so so so so sososossoosososososososo funny! but we finally decided to leave at ard 7-8 cuz it ws getting like really cold.

We headed to the Esplanande roof but it was blocked because of a trumpet (i think it was a trumpet or another musical instrument starting with T) class. So we ended up walking around the Esplanade looking for a choir performance of some sort. Instead we came across this singing trio. The 3 guys were doing the blues and at times i could actually picture myself in the country and they were singing on the porch and i was rocking in a rocking chair. (hahaha get it) They played for about 30 mins and it was good. to me anyways.

While heading to the MRT we stopped at HMV for a while.Then we bounced back home. I wanted to blog when i reached home at around 10.30 but i was to lazy and wanted to watch Van Helsing. But being the Tv addict that i was, i decided to watch Bones after that. hahaha. But yst was an awesomely fun fun fun day and I'm absolutely gonna miss meeting up with Jon and HG cuz they're going to NS. In fact Jon's going tmr, so all the best in NS my dear friend! Can't wait to see you in 2 weeks without hair.hahhaa. I'm gonna have to find another person to bitch to for the time being i guess (: and i better sign off before i go all sentiment-ish :P

Update: I forgot to say that while gossiping/chatting at Starbusks, I saw amanda, as in my ex-CG mate. Ugh it made me rmb how much i despise her and her innocent act. And you know what that person said! she said, " Oh Nadia! i rmb you!" I'm like, what a stupid thing to say! Oh i rmb you!?? Like duh i rmb you and how lousy a PW leader you are lah!!! UGH! she makes me so angry i want to smack her act cute head off! sorry talking bout her can bring out my violent side

Addicted

2009-03-10T00:46:00.004+08:00

I want to go shopping! but unfortunately to do that you need money and being unemployed, I need to ask for money from my parents and seeing how they've been sponsoring me for this whole time i kinda feel guilty. Whoa i just realised that that was a very very long sentence. Damn my addiction to clothes!

Rule the World

2009-03-09T15:15:00.006+08:00

Just watched Stardust on HBO and i must say that it is a really sweet and simply magical movie. At first i was rather hesitant about watching it cuz i didn't want it to spoil the book. i dont think that it did cuz the approach to the movie and the book were very different so i tried to dis-associate the movie from the book. (plus Charlie Cox was oh so cute! how could you hate the movie) But i did feel akward for Robert De Niro who was acting as a transvestite. Dont get me wrong, i love the queer, but he ususally has more macho and mafia-ish roles which was prolly why i believed his character when Captain Shakespeare was pretending to be a ruthless pirate more than his female side. As usual Claire Danes looked gorgeous and Sienna Miller looked pretty as Victoria. (PS: Star World is going to show the movie Factory Girl which she starred in and i'm curious to see how they're going to pull it off cuz they prolly had to censor and cut out chunks of the movie given that it was given an R rating in the States for "for pervasive drug use, strong sexual content, nudity and language" according to IMDb) Anyhoo back to the movie, besides the sometimes lame effects i thought that it was pretty enjoyable.

Ok then enough about the movie already. How does someone look for a job? I am suppose to be looking for a job but i honestly don't know where to start. Ps this is not a cue for you (and i mean: Afiq, Casse, Sarah Lee, Jon) to mock me. Just kidding. i know y'all mean well.I mean what job would pay a decent salary, is fun and make me want to go to work everyday? Well the job does not have to fulfill all the criteria cuz if it did i would be doing my dream job and i doubt i'll find my dream job anytime soon. so a little help would help me a lot!

And the cool weather now is making me feel a little down i don't know why. There's something bothering me but i don't know what it is and that feeling is killing me! i don't do emo so don't worry bout me being an irritating friend/person, as most emo ppl are. I'm still me, just not feeling fantastic at the moment and i don't even know why. ugh damn my sub-conscious mind! Plus my stupid music player is playing on random mode but somehow only sad and mellow music is playing so thats not helping my mood at all. so before i go on about poverty and global warming and more depressing topics i better sign off. Hope you are having a better day than i am (:

Gives you Hell

2009-03-08T15:09:00.005+08:00

I'm watching my sister play Doom 3 on the Xbox and it is down right SCARY! Bless her! hahahahhaah! but seriously. Its damn heart attack-ish even in broad daylight! i keep yelping and it makes me look so so silly cuz its just a game. but go and play it then tell me it will not freak you out. :)

Sunday Morning

2009-03-08T10:43:00.004+08:00

Oh my! my title fits today exactly! Its really Sunday Morning and Maroon 5's Sunday morning is such a nice song :)

Anyhoo, I just woke up early (ok relatively early given that i slept at ard 4 cuz of the match) to eat a McDonald's Breakfast. hahahaha. sounds lame and all that but I've been looking forward to eating it since Friday! So now I'm super full and sleepy. Mmmm i love breakfast menus the BEST! BK's croissanwich tops the breakfast chart for me. man now i feel like eating a croissanwich although i am so super full. Ok before i start rambling on and on i better go shower and wake up! Good Morning by the way if you're reading this in the morn! :)

Winner takes it All

2009-03-08T02:13:00.005+08:00

WOO HOO!!! Its half time and Man U is currently leading 2 nil!!! So yay! I feel high at the moment so excuse the multiple exclamation marks. Thank god for Tevez! hopefully he gets a hattrick. Was chatting with Afiq who is also a United fan and we both agree that Tevez should definitely stay on at Man U. (hmm maybe thats why he's scoring. he wants Ferguson to extend his contract) Anyhoo 2nd half is about to start. Update more later on (:

UPDATE: Man U totally thrashed Fulham 4 nil!!!! WOOO!!! Rooney and Park scored the remaining goals. told you afiq tt rooney would feel the need to perform as well as tevez. woohoo!!! The goals were gorgeous! man! this is awesome

Poker Face

2009-03-07T21:59:00.002+08:00

I'm currently feeling restless. Everyone's done so great and I'm so proud of them but it just makes me so so worried that i may not get a place in uni. and that feeling sucks bad! argh. plus the thing is i've been throwing away all the brochures tt the diff unis sent to my place because i was so sure that i would not be able to make it. now that there's a slight chance, i dont know what to do. help me!

On the lighter note. i played a funny prank today.hahahahaha. sorry Casse. i just needed some fun. Lol. She congratulated me on MSN on my results and i told her that i got BCU SU. She got my actual results from Jon so i told her that he lied and i did get that horrid result. She obviously felt bad and started apologising. hahaha. Then the funny part came: i told her i've been crying and that i was a loser etc etc. so sorry dear. then it became not so funny cuz i felt bad that she was feeling so bad. (and also cuz Jon suggested that i should tell her the truth) so i did. And boy did she make me pay. She waited a long long time to reply me. i felt so awful for that minute or so. hahahaha. but she said that i scared her to death and then agreed tt it was a little funny. Sorry casse. i was just kidding k.

Ok then. gonna watch Flightplan for the 4th time. hahaha. I'll keep y'all updated :)

UPDATE: Chelsea won Coventry- 2 NIL : Damn! That Guus Hiddink is having such a good effect on Chelsea. Hopefully its only a temporary thing and they will stop winning again! grins evily.

*Crosses fingers that Man U wins!* Come'on its Fulham. And even if we don't win, we'll still top the table. So to non Man U supporters: Suck it! hahhhaa. ok that sounded mean after re-reading it but what the heck right? i mean its my blog! hahahahahahhaha. BTW no offence to non Man U supporters. Its just tt we fans can get crazy right. know what i mean? :)

Ps: I also just realised that the timing of the posts is screwed up cuz i didn't change the setting. how lame of me. hahaha. I'm still learning so i guess its ok to make silly mistakes like this. hopefully the correct time will be shown now :)

UPDATE 2: I dont think the timing is fixed yet. I'll figure out a way k. Ps its 1:28 AM at the moment. Watching the Man U match. will keep updating (:

Beautiful Disaster

2009-03-07T12:44:00.000+08:00

Omg! I could finally sleep after weeks of tossing and turning resulting in sleepless nights.
Its over! like finally. Closure. I think I did ok. I'm contented. Not deliriously happy nor extremely disappointed. Just contented. Hmm now the problem is what do i want to do?

Breathe

2009-03-05T17:57:00.000+08:00

I must state my devotion for Ellen Degeneres!!!I absolutely adore her!!!! Man what wouldn't i do to meet her and go on her show! i was watching Ellen a few hours ago on channel 5 and she had John Mayer on. He seemed a little stoned-ish but was so so funny which was unexpected. He did the bathroom singing thing with her and they did Lady Gaga's Just dance. She started doing this after watching 2 girls on youtube doing bathroom singing. Pink and Lily Allen did the bathroom singing thing as well. I thought that Pink's one was the funniest! Trust me i know funny.

Ugh results will be out tmr. TOMORROW!!! Can't breathe everytime i think of it. Well what can I say we reap what we sow. (or is it the other way round?) Wish me luck!

This is my now

2009-03-04T23:59:00.001+08:00

I was watching American Idol moments ago and all i can say is that this show makes me cringe when i hear Singapore Idol top 12 contestants! Lil Rounds's performance blew me away! wow. Anyways as usual i was multi-tasking. So while watching AI, I was chatting with the babes. Anje and Drina taught me how to add a chatbox and how to link ppl. Thanks you guys. Now my blog looks less hopeless.

Hmm ps don't get fooled by my multiple posts today. In the future i may not update for some time. I'm currently not in the workforce. (ie: don't have a job and not actively looking for a job either) haha. Don't judge me ok! I cant focus on anything serious till i know my results. how ironic that i don't want to get my results although i know tt i can't do anything until tt dreadful moment. damn the A's!

Currently watching Boston Legal. Interesting and funny show. Speaking of funny shows, please please please watch Will and Grace ok. I promise that you will not regret it! Its hillarious! Its about this gay guy and his hag. I need to watch it because it makes me laugh and that takes my mind off my impending DOOM. No, I am not exaggerating. But I won't dwell on that mood spoiler. *sighs*

Man my mood is spoiled now. Gonna watch W&G till i feel tired. Nowadays i can't fall asleep. It prolly my subconscious nagging at me. ugh! Hopefully i can fall asleep in half an hour. *crosses fingers*

Delayed Devotion

2009-03-04T16:46:00.001+08:00

Ok I've decided tt I will use the title of the song I'm listening to while blogging as the title of my blog entry.

Now that we're no longer schooling, the girls and I have had way fewer table talks. Table talks (sounds like a talk show I could be hosting in the future! like Ellen. hahahaha!) are basically the 6 of us, Faj, Jasvin, Anje, Sak and Drina, chatting during breaks and lunch in school. Its something I made up. I don't know what they call it but yup tts what i call it (: Gawd i miss them loads. (the table talks not the girls cuz i just saw them yesterday) Sak couldn't make it cuz she's working. If you're reading this Sak, you are terribly missed by us especially me! I absolutely love table talks cuz there's not one awkward moment when chat and we can chat about anything. seriously.

So yesterday's tabletalk was at Starbucks Wheelocks. I was late as usual but this time I had a valid reason. Funny I'm always late when meeting friends and during gatherings but I've never been latecomer in school my entire life! I had to visit a friend who was hospitalised after an accident. Shoutout to the person who wished to remained unnamed: hope you have a speedy recovery dear. Anyhoo met them at ard 3 plus. We ordered our drinks, mine was a green tea frap (its my current fav), and started chatting. Anje soon joined us after her lunch. Oh how desperately we tried to avoid the obvious topic without much success. Then Anje received an unexpected phonecall from a teacher and then we soon changed the topic to tt person but eventually we returned to the super depressing topic. Other than the A's (there I've said it) we talked bout how a passer-by had a cute butt (sorry i just had to mention tt cuz it was like really nice! hahahaha!) and other stuff. To one of the 5 of us: I'm sorry if what i did upset you but we had to do that to make you realise. I LOVE LOVE LOVE you and only want the best for you dear. We all do.

By 7, Jas, Faj and Anje needed to leave so Drina and I did some shopping. Well technically Drina shopped and i gave her my opinions. hahaha. Headed back at around 9 and we bounced from Orchard. On the ride home my mind kept lingering on the fact that friday is so so so close and that i didn't want to face the horrid screeching sound (ie my results). Andrina, so subtly, kept changing topic which i appreciated a lot. hahaha.

Ok then. hmm how do I end this? XOXO sounds too gossip girl-ish. hmm this is hard. oh what the hell I'll try a few over the next few entries and decide later on. :)

UPDATE: After re-reading this, i realised tt i used a whole lot of colours. hhahaa. sorry was experimenting :)

Moment of truth! (no not tt [fri] moment)

2009-03-04T16:33:00.000+08:00

Ooh the impossible has been accomplished! Nadia has started a blog. hopefully i will continue to update it! hmm now what?
