the place is really... office-like. well there were security guards at the ground floor manning some automated gates. AUTOMATED GATES!! it's really weird. totally doesnt feel like a school at all. anyway they didnt allow me upstairs with jenn. so i sat there waiting for almost an hour. saw some funny sights though. like how some people cant figure how to get pass those gates and start mumbling to themselves... aiya, all sorts lah. LOL.
after that i went back to work. the day passed uneventfully. unless you count that funny episode when mary came in to look for pork lump. LOLOLOLOL. i started on my sister's keeper! the first few pages already got me hooked.
went to run after work. 10 rounds! my knees hurt now. :'(
sighsssss.
maybe all along i've been thinking too much. maybe you never ever cared.

though i slept at about 2am last night, i had to wake up at 5am today. to sao mu. -.- -.-
we went all the way to the choa chu kang cemetery, only to find a loooooong jam. they have to stop each and every car to check our IDs i think, due to the mas selamat scare. plus today's a weekend and the start of qingming. did a U-turn and headed to this columbarium at yishun. the smoke got my nose running and my eyes tearing like crazy. -.- -.- -.-
was so happy when we finally stepped out of the place and headed for breakfast. i was starving by then. halfway while eating though my cousin alerted us to this pervy old man sitting a table away who was blatantly masturbating in public. it was honestly a disgusting, yet hilarious, sight. we were giggling about it, and after we left the place we told the adults what we saw.
it is really funny how adults react to certain things. they make such a huge deal out of it, and look honestly shocked as to how we could even think it's funny. fact is, it aint such a big deal. they were like "why didnt you tell us earlier?? we could have left...." blah and such. but hello, why would we have to leave. it's not like he's making noises and irritating us. plus, we need to finish our food still, right? they always cant see things in an objective way, and sometimes it gets irritating. what's the point of saying "i would have....!!!" when it's already over and we'd already left? would getting pissed and all honestly have helped the situation? the worst thing is, adults ALWAYS think they're right. when you try to make them see the logical side of things they will say "you are still so young there are many things you dont know...". i seriously dont think this is a good explanation for every single case. and when you keep pressing your case(which i always do because i hate it when people cant see things my way and YET refuse to give me a good reason why THEIR point of view is correct), they make the ever-so-typical accusation...... "YOU'RE SO DISRESPECTFUL!!" ....... yea, whatever.
haha, okay random rant.
anyway by the time i got home i was a serious walking zombie. slept for the whole afternoon and then woke up for dinner. i hadnt wanted to wake up yet, but my dad made me. he does the weirdest things. he switches off the fan making you sweat like crazy, and seeing that you have no reaction, he starts knocking VERY VERY loudly on your door at 3 min intervals. -.- but what's the point of waking up!!! i have nothing to do anyway. i'll walk around the house aimlessly, occasionally tripping over the stuff he put on the floor, making more mess. i dont snore, dont disrupt you, so why do you have to wake me up? "you just cant sleep for the entire day.. it's just.... you just cant!" (refer to above rant about how adults always make no sense) -.-
bahh.
anyway, jenny the donkey is having her smu interview tomorrow. i hear they ask the weirdest questions. i hope donk makes it through though. taking half day leave tomorrow to accompany her. she always frets for interviews i realize, LOL.
so good luck donkey! and yes, remember my treat! =D

this past week at work was slightly more tedious than usual. haha. but it's still okay, think i prefer having something to do to slacking around. been reading a few books these days. one was that Harvesting the Heart book which i finished(man it was fab), and now it's this book called A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers. the whole book was written in horrible broken english, cuz it's supposed to be kinda like a diary for this china woman who went to england to learn english and met and fell in love with an englishman. damn funny lahhh, the english. hahaha. jacq kept insisting that it wasnt THAT funny, so i try to keep my laughter to myself these days, hahaha.
anyway today at work we got a little crazy and started cutting out pics of celebs we like from magazines and pasting them on our computers' CPU. hahaha. i have wu zun, angela chang and harry potter on mine. nicole and jacq got xiaozhu. and queenie got a collage of rihanna, jessica alba, angela chang, zac efron, hermione...... hahaha.
just caught spiderwick chronicles at j8 with maf just now. it's OMGGGGG FAB. hahahahaha. i know, i know, many people find movies like that childish and unrealistic and a waste of money. but i really love such movies! you know, fantasies. talking animals, goblins, elves, majestic creatures that take you flying in the sky.... that's why i love harry potter, golden compass and stardust!!! haha. sometimes such stories that are so crazy they couldnt possibly be true can take you to another place and time altogether. it's so magical. maf said it was a fab movie too. but aiya, he finds every movie nice.
after the movie i heard this guy in front of me say that it was a stupid movie. he was saying "use tomato sauce to kill those goblins????" in a what-the-hell tone, then he proceeded to roll his eyes. well, yes, if you think realistically that IS true, like, blowing up goblins with tomato sauce(???!!!). i know that's childish. but hello, nobody forced you at gunpoint to watch it. so shut up. *farts in his face*
keke.
oh anyway, i made a jessica alba bookmark for maf today. he seemed to like it pretty much. got kinda excited about it. lol. should have made one with a picture of her, pregnant, with her husband cash warren. THAT would have broken maf's heart. LOLNESS.
it's almost 1am already! off to bed. =D
Wednesday, March 26, 2008, 8:38 AM
HAIL YUYAN THE MEGA GENIUS.
i managed to change my blogskin WITHOUT jacq's or anyone else's help. aint that fab. =DDD
*dances and prances around*
Tuesday, March 25, 2008, 7:46 AM
it is not about possession and limits, it's about giving everything until there's nothing left to give, and then searching and scraping until you find a little bit more.
i'm just doing whatever i can to protect whatever little i have left.
i just want to be very sure, that's all.
it might hurt you, it might not.
but it sure as hell is hurting ME.
Sunday, March 23, 2008, 2:49 AM
you wouldnt know how utterly tedious and troublesome university applications are. spent most of today(with jenny on the phone) dealing with that. now that i'm finally done, i have to wonder where i can find an appraisor. damnnn. i hope jenny gets done soon. so maybe we can go catch a movie together to reward ourselves for the tough day we had, LOL.
in the meantime. shall blog about this.
read:
eh? (er you might have to click on it for it to be readable.)
and this.
read: The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
THE END.
i decided to share this. not by e-mailing(but by blogging) cuz it's too troublesome and few people read e-mails/chain mails anyway.
sighssss. sometimes i have this sick wish to do the following: 1. destroy his tv. 2.destroy his bed. 3.kill all members of arsenal/man u/liverpool/chelsea. 4.kidnap him and store him in a cage beside my turtle tank so that i can take him out for walks whenever i'm free.
ahah. told you it's a sick wish.
Saturday, March 22, 2008, 7:33 AM
did two facebook quizzes.
number one: which is your biggest turn-on? I'm turned on by humor. Admit it - you like funny people. As much as you value physical appearances, your heart just melts when someone makes you laugh. You enjoy sarcasm and wit - and value great conversation. The quickest way inside your pants is through tickling your funny bone - and your partner knows all about it!
quite true.
number two: which movie star are you? i'm apparently.. ahem. george lopez.
Funny funny funny and more funny!!!!! you are a great friend and many people look up to your extremaly large head. And many many people wonder how you can keep balance? but people love you any way!!
well it seems i'm THAT funny. -.-
Friday, March 21, 2008, 9:38 AM
hihi! i'm blogging again lol.
yesterday(thursday) was a really busy day at work! had to handle all those reject cases, sad sad for those rejectees. haha. OHOH and i read the FUNNIEST appeal letter ever, it is SO VERY FUNNY. LOLNESS.
after work jacq queenie and me went to walk round town. i wore leggings and heels, and the first words jacq said when she saw me were "you look so overdressed!". plus, she was also wearing stockings, it was so weird i swear everyone was looking at us. felt damn self conscious on the train. =S so when we reached town we went to the toilet and i took off my leggings. jacq couldnt take hers off cuz her dress was too short lol. but one person with stockings definitely isnt as attention catching as two people with stockings/leggings. we ended the night at spinelli with drinks and some chatting. took 162 home together, we squeezed on one seat together! took some pics too hahaha.
good friday today! went towning with jacq queenie and nicole! i didnt get anything though. jacq got fake nails. we had pastamania! lol.
watched sky of love. god you cant believe how queenie cried. LOL! (oops i wonder if i can blog this down) hahahaha. the movie's okay though, wont say it's sucky or that it's good. it's just... watchable. lol.
jacq just gave me the link to this video of a woman giving birth. she made it sound so scary. (dont know what that pervo was doing searching for such videos in the first place anyway) i have pervo friends. LOL.
yawns. sleeping soon!
Wednesday, March 19, 2008, 8:20 AM
this is just a random post.
realize by colbie caillat, great song.
"that we'd be perfect for each other and we'll never find another."
i wonder how you'd know. how'd you know, looking at the face of one person and thinking with all certainty that you'll never find another?
anyway there's this fab book i'd been reading. harvesting the heart by jodi picoult. nicole lent it to me haha. i've been searching for another book that i just found out was by her too. it's called my sister's keeper or something like that.
okay, random.
Tuesday, March 18, 2008, 8:25 AM
last sunday. went to rebond my hair early in the morning. sighs, i swear my hair is damaged beyond repair. rebonding doesnt seem to make much difference in the horrid grass-like texture of my hair, and it costs so much. in fact i think i look uglier now, because my hair looks flatter. =( and the auntie went to cut off so much of the hair i so painstakingly tried to grow. sadnessss. went cycling with my family at east coast after that. had a great dinner at the hawker after that. it's been a long time since we organized a family outing like that. cuz everyone's been just too busy with their own things, especially me. i used to spend weekend dinners with my parents, but that was when i was studying for A's and had little social life. ever since A's ended i've been going out alot. working and then shopping during weekends. haha. but i think i like this kinda life. earning my own keep and being able to buy just what i wanna buy. =)
monday. workkkk. my office now has a new task. opening letters and sorting those rubbish. piles and piles keep coming in. -.- damn. but it's sometimes really hilarious to look at other people's passport size photos. LOLNESS. after work me jacq angie and queenie went to run. they ran 10 rounds but i only did 9. too tired lah. it was really tiring yesterday, dont know why. maybe because the weather was hot.
today. workkk. sorting letters again today. jacq and i found a shrek lookalike, LOLOLOL. my son's so gonna be a poor little ugly chap in the future if karma exists man. went to sun plaza to meet maf after work for dinner and a movie. i swear we go to the weirdest places. soon we'll finish going to all the cineplexes in singapore. (or maybe not) caught step up 2, thought it was only average. there wasnt much plot, but people watch such movies not because of the plot lah. the dance was not very impressive. maybe because i dont like street dance. i prefered the dance in step up 1, cuz it's much classier. anyway, maf told me something just now that still gets me giggling to myself when i think about it. he was in the toilet, and there was a man in his 30s peeing next to him. and then suddenly that man gave out a loud and long fart. (it smelt too, he said) maf was shocked for a moment, and then burst out laughing. as in, REALLY laughed out LOUD. it was so embarassing! imagine if someone, some stranger, beside you farted and you laughed in his face. goddd. he said he quickly finished peeing and ran out of the toilet. i think it's utterly hilarious. and after he finished telling me the 2 of us sat there like idiots laughing for a really long time. i guess this is probably why we click. (ohhh karma karma)
anyway, i recently had this realization that i had been unconsciously making excuses for certain little things i see that are actually sending loud signals to me trying to tell me certain messages because i keep wanting to let myself be in constant denial. maybe things werent supposed to be this way. if it were, everything would fall perfectly into place, and i wouldnt be feeling this way, no?
i keep wanting to hold on, even when instincts strongly suggest me to step back and reconsider my stand. at first i thought it was normal when i didnt have answers to alot of my questions. but then i grew to realize that when it comes to these things, you're supposed to ALWAYS have answers. there would be no doubts, you'd know you want it.
i dont want to let myself get into a circumstance(again) where i'm in it not because i genuinely want to, but simply because i just dont mind to be in it.
you'd understand what im trying to say.
Saturday, March 15, 2008, 7:17 AM
nus open house today!
went with jacq and jenn. haha. walked around aimlessly for awhile. looked at booths then went on the campus tour. bought some food from the food bazaar too.
jenn needed to pass something to her brother after that. so we took the shuttlebus to the school of design and environment. after she's done we decided to walk back. mannn, totally misjudged the distance and underestimated the weather! we were all sweating like crazy and got so ditzy we started coming up with jokes about jennbo humbo and dumbo. LOLNESS.
we got so tired and sweaty and my feet was hurting so we decided to sit in for the most convenient dentistry talk. air-con was such a relief.
after that jacq and i waited with jenn for her friend to come and meet her. witnessed a funny incident. a couple of students left a stack of completed feedback forms on the bench we were sitting on. suddenly this really weird uncle came and picked up the papers asking us if we knew who they belonged to. so we were like giving half hearted answers and part ignoring him, and he took those papers away. the 3 of us were exchanging glances but we didnt think much of it... until those students came back, and started searching for their papers. they asked us if we knew what happened to their papers, and we said an old guy in orange took it away. since all those nus people were wearing orange the students asked us hopefully if that guy was wearing an nus shirt. and jenn was like "not exactly." LOL. they looked like they had gotten into trouble and jacq said she thought that old guy was some crazy person that goes around collecting papers or something. jenn and i thought the whole thing was such a typical "just-for-laughs" storyline we started laughing. HAHAHA. then we got bored.
so.
after that jenn's friend came so jacq and i went off.
went to town, got 1 dress each from max and more again! yayness =DD
i ate ajisen ramen while jacq ate some sushi handroll. some interesting thing happened with the handroll, but i shant write it here or else jacq will murder me with her bare hands. LOL.
got home after that. watched a movie with my new HBO. keke.
okie, end post.
Friday, March 14, 2008, 6:39 AM
this week's been a pretty boring week.
monday evening. did catch juno with jacq and jenn at j8. i thought the movie was pretty boring, lol.
tuesday-wednesday. work work work.
thursday. work. after work maf and i went to causeway point. wanted to catch step up 2 but the tickets were sold out. so he suggested watching rule #1. LOL. i knew he was secretly very scared but guys always have ego issues. so i said "you sure?" and he was like "what sure. you wanna watch then i watch lor!" LOLNESS. so we decided to watch. the first horror scene was barely over when he started clamouring to go home. -.- well anyway we survived the movie, (with him coming out of the theatre in a serious state of shock) and i thought the plot was good. it wasnt fabulous cuz there were some loopholes here and there, but the twist at the end was.... good. think horror movies sometimes can have damn fab plots, but because people are scared of the gory scenes they dont watch them. such a waste. they are much better than those sicko boring romance shows.
today. work. after work jacq angie and i ran 10 rounds again!! mann i felt like i was dying at the end of the run. dont know why today felt so damn tired. but yesss at least we ran!
nus open house tomorrow!
end post.=))
Sunday, March 9, 2008, 11:10 PM
I FINALLY GOT CABLE TVEEEEEE!!! LOL.
but actually i dont think it's gonna make much difference in my life, since i practically grew up without tv.
yesterday. went to smu's open house. totally didnt like it once i stepped in. the whole place just seemed so.... OVER-STRUCTURED. they didnt exactly involve everyone like the way ntu did, you know, like allowing their students to set up cca booths like in a carnival, or hiring deejays to host and play games interacting with everyone.. or like hosting a campus tour around the school. only the admissions building was open, and the whole open house only consisted of boring talks by professors/lecturers that sound/look either like they ate too much KFC or like they are actually transvestites from thailand. propaganda was heavy too. -.- it's as if you're going to attend seminars everyday instead of going to school.
where are the hall lives, the inter-house games, the cheers and roars, the team/school spirit?? i cant live without all these, cuz i think they're really important aspects of being a student. and if i'm gonna be stuck in smu for four years........
thus we left smu early. (we= me jacq jenn) went to have lunch, then walked around raffles place then marina square. the day ended pretty early with them.
travelled all the way to west mall to meet maf for dinner. reached there slightly too early, so we went to walk around. he got me loadsssss of chocs and sweets! there was this interesting small stall in the mall called uncle's tidbits or sth, and the whole shop structure is like mini toons' sweets section, those pick and choose then weigh type. damn cool lah. the whole shop was stocked with sweets. lol. after that we went to the library too.
had pastamania for dinner. he ordered some weird eel pasta that tasted horrible. it's some new promotion, so people, dont try that.
after that we went to rent movies and went to his place to watch. we watched Ratatouille. his condo was much nicer than mine lahhh. it was so less crowded and much quieter. and the theme was nice, there were alot of nice wooden walkways leading to random places. and at night the pool lights light up. which might not sound like a big deal to others but is a huge deal to me, cuz MY pool lights dont--, no, make that i dont have pool lights here. which means walking back home after 10pm becomes a scary ordeal, cuz the place is so damn darkkkk.
slept almost immediately after i reached home. yawns.
ponned work today, oops. but nicole queenie and jacq all didnt go, and i didnt wanna have lunch alone or sth. =( plus i feel a little sick, sore throat and blocked nose. sighs.
maybe meeting jacq and jenn for movie later.
pooft.
UPDATE: did i mention how much i love my ah mah? LOL. she's one cute and sweet lady. i called her just now and she told me "gong xi ni hor... ni chen ji kao de hao ah?? ke yi jing da xue? hao hao... gong xi ah!" LOL. thanks ah mah. maybe it was because you were the one who painstakingly took care of me when i was young and because of the fabulous meals you'd cooked for me all my life that got me this smart. hahaha. *sings* AAAABBB!
Saturday, March 8, 2008, 8:11 AM
I AM SO SERIOUSLY RETARDED.
been very very pissed at my laptop lately because somehow these past few days it just simply wouldnt connect to my main wireless connection. desperate attempts including shaking it very hard, putting it within absurdly close proximity with the modem, slamming it againt the table etc. didnt seem to work. thus this entry that i have started to type like 4 days ago just couldnt be posted.
then just now, i suddenly had this bright idea to press the "diagnose the problem" button. it says "turn on wireless capability, which is a switch usually located at the front/side of the computer." after searching for 5 mins, i found this button that looks remotely like a button/switch that could help me access the internet. (dont know why i felt so, 6th sense maybe.) so i pressed it and VOILA! problem solved. *slaps self*
i shall officially start blogging.

after that the rain stopped, so we headed to east coast.
after cycling we went to the katong area to have dinner. he wanted to sign up for his scuba diving course there. we ate at some ulu coffee shop, but the food was niceeee.
went to meet up with the lovelies at town at night. wanted to get our minds off A'lvl results. took LOADS of retarded pics, shall just post those that look normal.
some very nice ang-moh offered to take this for us after seeing how we struggled to fit everyone in. LOL.
friday. A'S RESULTS! mann. it was probably the freakiest day of my life.
went to kbox with jacq early in the morning. wanted to sing our worries away, lol. but as the time drew near we were still pretty freaked.
but i was so damn happy with my results!!! never expected it, maybe they mixed up my result slip. haha.
today. ntu open house!
was pretty impressed with the business school. i think im definitely gonna apply there, wahah. =DD
