The past few days
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
-Lunch with XUE at Subway and we did abit of catching up :)))
-Headed to Zouk with bf for a friend's birthday; someone got drunk even before the party started and that kinda made me a little pissed. All's well now though, we bounced back.
-Morning after, felt rather uncomfortable. Guess I was on the verge of puking.
-Weekend trainings; I got a new student who reminded me of DJ (yes the ex), the way he looks.
-Benchmarking session; how to pass/not pass students.
-Orchard Plaza with Siao to get her new baby, Canon EOS (have you christian-ed it yet?). Sorry for waking up late woman! Scoured the first few levels of Peninsular Plaza for Skateline but we came nowhere close. Only realized that it's Peninsular Shopping Centre after asking some old and grumpy security aunty. B&J (btw, happy free cone's day!) for some ice-cream loving, as we played around with her new baby. It's so damned cool luh!

-Will run a proper update once I've finished catching all the episodes of Fushigi Yuugi okay!

It's a small world after all
Friday, April 25, 2008

now taller with the mast extensions!

Weikang snapped a picture of Four Friends during his cycling trip to Pengarang some few days back. Looking at this picture instantly brought back memories of days when we spent our lives onboard. The boomnet sessions, sleeping under the milky way and trying to keep track of the number of shooting stars we saw, flying fish landing onboard, lying in the net tied to the bowsprit, wild dolphins sightings, steering and navigating our ways around, abseiling, snuggling into our sleeping bags late at night, spotting "submarine island" in the dark, and so on.

So many first-times experienced on this very sailing vessel. I miss the Captain, I miss the people who went with me, & I miss the things that we did. I miss Bawah...

Alright, enough nostalgia.

I finally satisfied my craving for Ben&Jerry's today, all thanks to the bf! We had Fossil Fuel (while watching Big Daddy on the sofa, no less!), and it was pretty good. Chunks of chocolate cookies, fudge swirls and chunky choco dinos innit! Truly a wonderous experience!

ps. Looking forward to lunch later; been such a long time since I chatted with the babe!

What I've been busy with...
Thursday, April 24, 2008


This is like one of the FEW (i mean damned rare okay!) animes that I've ever (& will probably) watched in my life and I like it so damned much!! It's probably a very old anime (came out in 1992, i think), and I remember having watched a few episodes on AXN previously. I'm addicted! Anyone's watched this before too?

The title's Fushigi Yuugi and the story's a little complicated (think time-travel, love triangles, betrayal of trust, misunderstandings), but I think it's worth the time. I would love to be in the female lead's place; she's got 2 (or more) damned hot guys head over heels in love with her, caring for and protecting her.


Rooting for you two!
I feel very geeky suddenly. Gahhh.

*updated: long introduction ahead (taken off animeinfo.org)

FUSHIGI YUUGI

Miaka Yuki, the main character, is an aspiring high school student who wants to get into the high school of her choice along with her best friend, Yui Hongo. Miaka is a bit clumsy, has a tendancy not to study very hard, and is easily distracted (especially by food, which she wolfs down whenever she has the chance). She definitely does not start out as the most far-sighted person in the world, and her behavior suggests that. By the end of the story, though, Miaka has grown and changed so much, aware not only of her priorities in life, but also of the value of life itself, as well of her friends and companionship.

The one event that changes Miaka's life forever is her magical journey into the world of a book called "The Universe of the Four Gods". One day, as Yui drags her off to the library in order to return a book, Miaka catches the sight of a beautiful bird with bright red feathers as she drools over some vending machines. Following it to the restricted area of the Library, both Miaka and Yui look in vain for the bird - but instead find an open book (The Universe of the Four Gods) emitting a soft red glow.

As the two begin to read the pages, they find themselves in the ancient Chinese world they had just been reading about, and are almost kidnapped by bandits. However, they are saved just in the nick of time by a handsome young martial artist named Tamahome, who then demands payment for his services. When he doesn't get it, he leaves the two stranded in the middle of nowhere. Yui is then somehow pulled back into the real world, and has no choice but to continue reading about poor Miaka, who is now left all by herself in the strange world of the book.

Miaka finds soon enough that she has companions in this new world, as she takes on the position of "Suzaku no Miko" (Priestess of Suzaku) in order to get home. Suzaku, god of the southern land of Konan where Miaka ends up, is said to grant any three wishes to the priestess who summons him. In order to do that, however, Miaka must first gather together the "Suzaku Seven" - the embodiment of the legendary celestial constellations that make up Suzaku in the night sky, of which Tamahome is but one. In her journeys to accomplish this, Miaka finds romance, pain, happiness, despair, and most of all, the reality of life, as she finds that the obstacles that oppose her goal may come from the most unexpected of places.

sidenote: as you can see, I am too lazy to come up with something of my own. Anyway, Tamahome and Miaka falls in love, Miaka & Yui turn enemies, the 2 girls fall in love with the same person and things get complicated (how else is the story going to continue right).

tama FTW!!

I suddenly have an uncontrollable desire to partyyyyy. & laugh it all off.

Maybe I just want to get drunk; and I can list at least 2 reasons to justify that. Getting drunk, I mean.

1) The immense sense of liberation you get from forgetting what's bugging you.
2) An excuse to do really silly and stupid things, say, kiss a random stranger (I haven't and will not, no matter how drunk I may get), pee in your pants/panties, stumble into random strangers (I got this some nights back; as in, someone came charging at me. had initially thought the person's one of my friends), get really loud.

And of course, 2 reasons why you shouldn't.

1) Hangovers are a bother.
2) Because people don't really appreciate the silly and stupid things you do when you're drunk.

I want to partypartyparty again soon!

Northland Primary in awhile, dinner date at KFC, let it be a good day!

ps. i still can't believe what you wanted to show me was what i wanted to show you; it's amazing. we're meant to be. bleah.

Life's like a roller coaster
I'm tired. And happy!

Have been 'rolling about' for the past 3 days; and it feels great! I'm in-training for my new-found job and I'm loving it! I get to work with children (plus some adults); they look absolutely adorable in their gears and apart from the few naughty ones who just refuse to cooperate, what's there not to love? I'm looking forward to the next few training sessions! It's time to get serious bout this!

What's the job again? Ha, don't tell you first! Wait till I pass the evaluation and start getting a pay.

Spent the evening at bf's for dinner tonight; I can't get enough of the yummy fried rice. Watched the next 2 episodes of One Litre of Tears on crunchyroll together, just about a third of the time I was tearing (everyone should watch this cos it's just so sad luh). lovelovelove it when he specially offered a hug when he saw tears in my eyes, and gave me a good rub when I complained of muscle-aches. lovelovelove you baby!

I had a great weekend. Hope you guys did too!

ps. xue, was great to see you today! let's have lunch someday soon! i hope you see this!!!!! *waves*waves*

Start of something new, & hopefully good.
Friday, April 18, 2008
Zouk didn't call me up; I'm not going to be a barmaid after all. Headed down to Zouk with some of the NYAA peeps on Wednesday after our landmines talk at SP; it was super spontaneous luh. Got wasted & we had lots of fun; I think it was xy's most unglam night, ever. hahah.

I think we should do it again soon.

Met Russ (and gf) while waiting for the group to arrive at the entrance, Sylvia by the sidewalk, and the other Chang called out to me when we were leaving.

Pictures up when I decide to upload them! And speaking of this reminds me that I dropped my camera on the floor while we were at Phuture luh. Saw it drop like a tennis ball from my hands but I think I was too high to care. My camera!!!!

Okay, think I'll continue later. Interview.now.again!

Lunch with bf & family at Old Airport Road's hawker centre (it's been awhile) before they sent me back to Chung Cheng for Bazaar by the Lake. It was pretty damned crowded despite the heavy downpour an hour ago; parents, students, teachers & ex-schoolmates. WJ's mum bought $200 worth of coupons from his younger brother, and we were there to spend it!

Guess we were a little late though, stalls were closing as we made our ways around. RL was one step too late to win those headphones from one of the game stalls; the 2 juniors right before us walked away with them.

Met Mr Davamoni (my favourite teacher in cchs!) too; looking rounder than before! He went "where's your camera?" when he saw the whole bunch of us at the canteen. I feel more assured when he said teaching's got good prospects.

Walking round the school compound brought back lots of memories. Memories of 1 & 2Justice, 3, 4 Empathy, Kantang & owy, barney (the ex-bf), how the guys usede to joke about Davamoni biting his fingers when he's eating chocolate, staying back in school after lessons to study for the big O, the teacher that farted right beside me in the examination hall, breakfast every morning at the canteen with the girls, dreading the long walk in, the dm's favourite phrase "on time is late" after William Tell's finished playing, how I used to kena getting caught for my ankle socks during morning assemblies, the lake, having a football land straight in my face PHAM, making fun of our literature teacher, and so much more.

I miss my secondary school days a lot.
I miss wearing my uniform.

WS gave us a lift down to Bugis for our dinner & walk about session. I feel horrible, seeing stuff that I like all around me but can't buy cos I'm currently jobless. I swear it makes me want to go KNNCCBB all the time.

Photobucket
this pencil case's only $2 from Action City!

Haven't walked around for so long since a long time back; was a tired bitch when I got back home.

Dinner tonight at Chong Pang Steamboat/BBQ Buffet with bf. No more located at Marina South, you can find it here at Boon Keng now! Love the ice cream they give out. Anyway, no pork, no lard, and it's only $16 for all you can eat. Only drawback, no more super nearby arcade and bowling alley. Guess the nearest one should be at Kallang Leisure Park now.

Walked my way down to The Hive to find WL. It's been awhile! He's asked me to join his Redang Holiday, too bad it falls on the weekend that we're going to Sibu. We also talked bout the possibility of a trip down to Pengarang. Hope he gets the contact from his father, and all we need to do next is set a date!

to a new day of meaningless!
this is getting depressing, isn't it?

just kidding :)

Husky & Schnauzer cross breed
Found this cute pup on the fishingkaki forum sometime back, googled it and found it in Stomp again!
Still find it a little unbelievable that the 2 species can be cross-bred. This afternoon, Siao was telling me how tough pregnancy would've been if the mother's the schnauzer.
If you think you can give this little pup a good home, contact details are: http://talkback.stomp.com.sg/forums/showthread.php?t=34786

uh, not much?
Life's almost come to a standstill for me; no job to make time pass a little quicker, and my bank account a little fuller. Quite sad, I know.

Anyhow, the fishing trip with dad? It didn't happen. He was gone (for work) on Monday before I could even wake up, and only came back today. Super anti-climax hor? I bet you were waiting for pictures of my 'hearty catch'.

Passed my BTT today; the wait to apply for the PDL's horrendous please. Siaos recommended a method to minimize waiting time & I thought that might be good to share here: Get a queue number from the waiting area before you go for the test (maybe 30 minutes before your test starts will be good), because YOU WILL DEFINITELY END THE TEST BEFORE IT REACHES YOU. & only today, I remembered the e-learning that the school provides. lala, ev (& sheryl), if you're reading this and you think you need some more practice for BTT, drop me a message/tag (or something) so that I can reply with the id & password for CDC's website. There's still bout 14 hours more to go!

Driving's super fun, though I find my legs more wobbly at the end of lessons.

Met up with Siao this afternoon for Sakae too; I love Jap food! After stuffing ourselves silly at the Heartland Mall outlet, we made our way to a shop nearby that sells pets' stuff, food and all. Purpose? To see the super cute Chow Chows that the shop owner keeps in his shop.

A ChowChow look something like this:


nah this is something i got off google, didn't take a picture of them

There's supposed to be 5 of them, but 1 passed away, and 2 others were left at home. Quite a lot of dogs, I'd say, and they're not exactly miniature breeds. Had the chance to see Wawa (quiet and more approachable) & Big Boy (this one's got so much hair he looks like a lion lah!), the 2 cute dogs in the shop. Had fun petting Wawa and observing BigBoy in his pen. So cuteeeeeeeeee can! I hope Siao ask me go back to the shop with her sometime soon so that I can take a picture of these 2 doggies for all of you to see!

Okay, I will stop gushing like some highschool star-struck fan girl (because it's never really been my thing). But now you know what makes me go 'Awwwwwww......' Right.

Made fondants at the bf's place last night too; successful batch! Lots to go around too. Bf suggests a dinner celebration in the night for me, for having passed my BTT! I hope we get to eat some really delicious food!

I f#$%^&*()_)(*&^%$#$%-ing hate having missed calls with witheld numbers. It's killing me!

disappointment
Sunday, April 6, 2008
Fuck Disappointment, I wish I had better things to do than be disappointed with you or you.

Still angry, thinking bout what's been happening lately. Trying to cover things up with silence or a smile or pretending that nothing's happened, that's not going to solve problems.

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

Do I feel better? Maybe? Does anyone care? Definitely not you.

Kay. Enough of the complaints. Went through 2 interviews this week. The thing about interviews is that, I actually enjoy interviews. Talking to strangers can be fun, and they'd usually be asking what I like to do; I just don't like having to wait for the results. Keeping fingers crossed.

Have been idling around for quite awhile, I feel unproductive, and I also seriously feel that I need a job badly. First interview of the week was at Zouk; & if they decide to hire me, I'm going to be a fucking barmaid! No better time than now for a job like that, you just have to agree with me on this. Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease let me through this, because I would really love to buy those Aero/VS/AE/Supre shorts/panties/bags/shirts but I am officially broke.

Comm Skills tutors would have been very disappointed to know what I wore for my 2nd interview. My back-up plan & I was super under-dressed. It was supposed to be a back-up plan but after Siaos let me know of the rewarding aspects of this career, I think I'm going to take it up if they're going to offer that something-new-PE-Taiwan-Scholarship to me. Save the fees and have a spanking good time in Taiwan, promised an interesting (hey at least not desk-bound what) job for at least 5 years, what's so bad about that? I am actually regretting not having dressed up a little bit more now. nabei.

I pestered my dad to bring me fishing tomorrow. I hope everything's going to turn out well and we'll return with a hearty catch!

It's a beautiful day!
Saturday, April 5, 2008

Listening to this song makes me super chirpy. Lyrics for your sing-along pleasure! Hope you like it too :)

BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY
- Daniel Boone

Sunday morning, up with the lark
I think I'll take a walk in the park
Hey hey hey, it's a beautiful day

I've got someonme waiting for me
And when I see her
I know that she'll say
Hey hey hey, what a beautiful day

CHORUS
Hi hi hi, beautiful Sunday
This is my my my beautiful day
When you said said said said that you loved me
Oh my my my its a beautiful day

Birds are singing, you by my side
Lets take a car and go for a ride
Hey hey hey, it's a beautiful day

We'll drive on and follow the sun
Making Sunday go on and on
Hey hey hey it's a beautiful day

Repeat chorus

Madness
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
It's 2.20 a.m. right now.

Added 2 new links to the sidebar; and I'm totally hooked onto the food blog. So many hawker food recommendations made, simple and no-frills dining. Let's play食字路口someday, what say you guys!

I am feeling very inspired now (not such a great time at 2.30 a.m. though), and I am damned excited thinking about writing my first entry on some notable foodie place.

All those yummy pictures of laksa, fried hokkien mee, char kway teow, mee siam, bak chor mee, chendol, bbq chicken wings (okay, I could come up with a really long list) are making me really hungry. So hungry that I actually decided to pop one of these into the oven some 45 minutes ago.

Photobucket

I MUST BE CRAZY! SHEESH.

Photobucket
they don't taste too bad, really

OK. I'm so asking for myself to get fat. I'm left with 2 slices now, it's supposed to be a 12-inch pizza damned it! Needless to say, I'm feeling very guilty now; for having indulged in some unhealthy main course 4 hours before daybreak. I'm so going to swim it off with siao at the pool later, seriously. Yeah right, seriously keeping fingers crossed that I'll wake up on time, more like it.

on a side note, it's april. Happy April's Fool people!
