Caught Fool's Gold with the bf last night. Story mainly revolved bout booty-hunting, a divorce somehwere, lots of dialogue, a mega yacht (sort of), a bimbo (not kate hudson btw), and so on. Might have been more interesting, if not for all the lengthy dialogues. Plus Finn looked like he needed a haircut/shave. Probably it's only getting an average rating, somewhere out there now.
Dinner at a korean restaurant along Liang Seah Street. I'm still so in love with the long spoons and flat metal chopsticks. Ordered a seafood steamboat, and after much struggling, it boiled down (unintended pun) to a thick gravy-like base when we were just about to leave. Rather big portion for 2; overwhelming first experience huh.
Dessert-shop hopped and we compared the black sesame paste + tang yuan in the 2 shops.
Food, we love food.
& guess what, first paper's over! Time sure flies past during the examination period hur, can't disagree, especially when you're so out of time. I was literally panting when I finally finished scribbling my last word yesterday. Don't think I'm going to do so well since I was unable to finish up everything on time, but TGIO-thank god its over!
Vid on Brazilian Waxing: sure looks like it's going to hurt a hell lot. ha.
back to the notes dodos!

First paper in 4.5 more hours. How exciting!
I've been having weird dreams since a few nights back. I probably need some counselling or something; it's wrong, the way I'm thinking, I guess. But how would you like that, having something that matters taken away from you? What's more, it's taken away by someone that matters. Or mattered, and no one's going to be on your side.

Ohmygod, let it be the only turtle soup that I'll be touching for the rest of my life.
It's been awhile since I had my 2nd (and last) bowl of real turtle soup (meat and the jelly parts).
And only moments ago, I was furiously searching for articles related to turtles used in soups. Search didn't come up with pictures of butchered turtles (though there were some), you know, pictures that I can use to justify the seeming cruelty of it all.
Talking about cruelty when I'm no vegan (and never will be), and have no intentions of giving up meat in my life, seems like such a big joke, doesn't it?
Some takes on sharksfinsoup:
"Nobody is against eating meat (beef, mutton, chicken) from livestock, which can be regenerated - it's when someone eats sharks, which are not farmed, and populations worldwide are in decline, that is when people should be concerned."
"sheer cruelty and wastefulness of removing the fins from a live shark, and then dumping the still-living creature back into the sea where it drowns slowly."

p/s. I think bf and his family is so going to hate me after this.

The simplicity of life
Saturday, February 23, 2008

Why is it that we are taught to strive hard so that we can get the most out of life and yet, the happiest people around say they're "contented with the simple things in life"? So what are we really striving for? Towards unhappiness? Or to work so hard for everything and only come to realize that in the end, everything that you've achieved don't matter?
I flipped through my passport last night. There are 96 pages in all and mine's less than 1/10 filled up. Felt a teeny weeny hinge of sadness; so much for my proclaimed love of travelling. I do hope that I'm going to be more financially-able in time to come. Wishing for it to become part of my life, travelling.
Yeah I admit, I'm not contented in so many ways.

hates me! There's absolutely no reason for him to be shouting at the top of his lungs at 5.45 a.m. All I can make out of that shouting is "bullshit", "horrible", "terrible", coupled with lots of door slamming. Can't wait to meet this person and give him a mighty bear hug!
Nah, just kidding. Of course you knew, right?
It's time for yf to wake up for school! Lotsa hot chicks, that's what he said of his new school. Not a major distraction, I hope.
Life suddenly looks a whole lot better than yesterday. I have a wholesome family; not perfect but everyone shows the love they should, and I took 20 years to realize this? I can't imagine life without mum, dad or yf at this point in my life. Geez. Bf, yeah, I have a bf whom I love very much. People around me, I don't think they hate me or anything.I can't help but feel like a bastard right now, sorry people(if you can sense why).
Names, names.. is it that important to be mentioned? Are you less of a friend if no mention's made on you on a good friend's blog? (Not mine okay) Maybe? Yes? No? Looking back, I think it did matter. I call it, the need of belonging. There's really nothing wrong with it, it's all part of observations. Don't mind me, I love most of you still. Even though I hardly mention names ;)

The last few days've been spent burning the midnight oil, reading notes with the company of Miami Ink, David Tutera and Anthony Bourdain (sidetracking a little, I absolutely love No Reservations, even though tony says "it's the best thing that I've ever tasted!" one time too many). It's only 2 papers but I feel the pressure more than ever, don't you? I'm guessing this is all because it's the final 2 to determine the cut for university; before we can all kiss TP goodbye. I'm so totally expecting people to be screaming on their ways out of the sports hall after our last paper.
Can't describe how screwed my body clock is; I've been sleeping close to 7a.m. nearly every single day and waking at 3+ p.m. Can't seem to fall asleep any time before that, tried and ended up tossing all over for a good whole 2 hours.
bf suggested frozen grapes to keep me awake. The sensation of sinking my teeth into one of these iced-cold grapes made me go brrr, and then woah! ha. Grape freeze, what a quirky idea. And note: Seedless grapes should be used ideally, unless of course, you like crunching into the seeds. Anyway, I think freezing oranges is a good idea; going to try that out tonight. There's an excess of mandarin oranges (and kum quats) rolling about in the house right now.
Met bf for a sumptuous hawker lunch at Bendemeer Market. Silly thought he was going to have a tooth extraction so he had his fill. We had chicken rice, laksa, penang fried kway teow and fried hokkien mee. Fill or not? Didn't actually finish all of that food; I could see the cleaner uncle shaking his head in disbelief at the wastage... oops.
I'm getting back to my notes... a week exactly before the last paper. And a week closer to the great holidays! Pulau Aur, Phuket, and maybe even Penang... so much travelling to do, I'm way excited!And.........finally before I end this post,
Guess who got braces today???

You have to agree with me that life is so full of them. Take yesterday, for instance... wasn't expecting the guys to get themselves so drunk last night... It was a fun and crazy night, nonetheless.
Putting all your eggs into a basket; that's how I'm feeling right now. This is bad, very bad.
Okay, it's time to start studying darlings..!

Happy
day, people.
Hope you guys had a good one.
I spent the first half of the day with lala at CDC.
Got myself enrolled with $160.50; must do myself proud and pass everything on the first attempt. I was stunned for a moment when I saw the prices; one driving lesson costs 3 times as much as a riding lesson. Gogo chang please.
Sakura with Group 18 cept for ev. Arrived at 1.30pm and we managed to have an hour's worth of buffet.
dear lala & me
hoho. crocodile-hunter-wannabe.
hurrr... miss late-for-our-date-today.
Spent the next few hours roaming the different levels of FEP; unfruitful trip with nothing bought. Patience, I guess... Phuket's going to have everything, hopefully.
Anyway, Mum made a last-minute dinner date with me. thank you mummy, for picking out all the spring onions from the fried rice. i love you.

Family; I think I love mine more than I'd like to admit.
Anyway, the day ended on a rather sucky note. Guess what, I'm back to the point where I don't see the point in doing anything again. shiat.
We do it anyway.
i see more differences
more than anybody else.
i'm losing grip.
and i can imagine a new place.
where you don't have to ask me to be.

Funny, in a stupid way.
Just gotten back from xue's 21st b'day party. Photos when I receive them aight.
I've sent the documents required for the ntu application. One load off the shoulders, finally! Hope everything goes well...
chanced upon this picture somewhere online... omg 帅 can! He's supposed to be playing golf in that picture, but I can't think of anyone else who plays golf dressed like that. They're all uncles or something luh.
It's 3a.m. now; and danny's talking to me online. Can't wait to get to Penang to visit them sometime soon. Can't think of anyone else (okay, the bf yes) who 疼 me like he does; not the usual friends anyway. Friends, how come I suddenly have the feeling that the word's somewhat over-rated?
Time for beauty sleep, chups!

Back to school...

Monday, February 11, 2008
The long weekend is finally over. Hate to admit it, but yeah, we're all going back to school tomorrow!
Not complaining though; the past few days have been kinda fun. Bf came over to my place on 初一, and we went to my grandma's place together. took the chance to introduce him to my relatives; I feel damned brave now, blogging bout it cause I was half-expecting Dad to holler at me or something back then. Thank goodness it was初一and i think that was what made him not do it.
Had a fantastic dinner at his grandma's place and came back to find my dad learning how to play mahjong! I must have the 'wtf' look on my face when I saw that; went on to lose 50 bucks for him. Expensive fee paid for the very first lesson.
Managed to get wenyun, weijun & eden to my place for mahjong the following night. Weird combination? I think so too, but it worked out in the end anyhow... ha!
Visited the prawning place at Bishan with the pri sch clique today and we caught a handful of prawns! Jon said our catch was pathetic; but I didn't think it was that bad. At least we didn't go back empty-handed; the place was kinda packed today anyway.
Tomorrow marks the start of final papers for the bf, and the first day (out of 7?) that yifeng'll be away in Penang for CNY. The next few days won't be as lonely as it may seem to be; hopefully(?)... lots of catching up on schoolwork, and what-nots. Have yet to send the necessary documents over to ntu, work out the details for the eco-trip, attempt online quizes for DCM (i seriously think it's a chore leh)etc etc. So many things left undone, eeeks!

lovely song

Saturday, February 9, 2008
Can't seem to get sick of this song; even though it's been on replay mode since so many days back? Haven't got a chance to watch the movie yet, sometime soon, I will though.
The past 2 days have been spent sleeping in bed. Can't tell you how sick I am of that. And I've only realized how stupid it was, waiting for someone to bring me out of that misery. I am not going to do that again, never. Why would you depend on someone else, when you know you can count on yourself, to make yourself happy, to get things done?
I feel so damned pissed right now; I don't need you to understand. you never will anyway.
watched CJ7 with siao last night; cinema was packed, and so was cineleisure. don't know why someone can be so understanding and accommodating like you, seriously?

HAPPY CNY EVERYONE!Finally done spring-cleaning; fresh bedsheets are one of the best things ever.
I'm so glad that cny's here once more! Not really a big fan of catching up with the paternal relatives, but ohwell, it's once in a year that we get to do all this so I guess it won't be so bad! Not with all the yummy goodies, red packets and the little gambling sessions, surely!
Feeling really relieved that FYP's finally over; we're done with both the company & in-house presentations, final report and peer appraisals, and everything else! Just another reason to celebrate! Group 18 you're all booked for V-day; buffet lunch date at Sakura, Orchard Cineleisure.
Don't think I'll be able to stay up all night this time round; my eyes are getting really puffy from looking at the telly and computer screens for the entire day. It's Goal2 on right now; and I think I'm going to watch just oneeee more episode of 阿旺新传! Hurray to crunchyroll for that, ha!

Took me really long to figure out the codes and all again; you know, it feels like I'm learning something all over again. Lj was cool for the past year or so; but not too user-friendly as I'd like it to be. I guess I'm still running back to good ol' blogspot for now. Back to the good ol' days!
So, less than 24 hours and we're all going to be in the new rat year!
