Tall people

2011-10-09T11:47:00.000-07:00

Somehow I just found this frickin hilarious! I don't get why people assume tall people play sports, ESPECIALLY BASKETBALL.

2011-10-04T10:34:00.000-07:00

Maybe its not blood bonds that makes us a family. Perhaps its about people who know our secrets and love us anyway, so we can finally be ourselves.

But that how it always happen doesn't it.

Hong Kong Day 1

2011-10-03T10:58:00.000-07:00

Most pic's stolen from YJ's camera cause apparently my battery was fried before the trip, so I could barely take photos :( So Day 1 was basically arriving at HK, checking in to our budget YWCA hotel, going to The Peak and Mongkok in the evening.

So I arrived at the Airport, first thing we did was bought an Octopus card. Unless you're going to be travelling like hell lot on trains I don't suggest you buy the special tourist Octopus card (300HKD). It's much cheaper if you just buy your Airport Express Train and get the regular card. Because if you're hardcore like us, you can just walk everywhere.

We were too early for check-in so we decided to walk around to soak up the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the blazing sun, hungry stomach and no sleep weren't of much help. That's when I also found out the hard way that Mongkok MTR wasn't so near after all.

But we did eventually find our way there and did our first touristy thing, visiting The Peak. A lot of people say that HK is very similar to Singapore, and I totally agree. When we were walking there we passed by this building, and holy crap the place was the same as Lucky Plaza on a Sunday... if you get what I mean.

I was super elated when I finally saw this sign. Until I saw the amount of people inside, I almost died.

Finally seated after 20 min of pushing and squeezing.

Alas, we reached the top, and we were greeted by a shopping centre with like 7 levels wtf. That's also where Mdm Tussauds is located. We didn't bother buying ticket to the Sky Terrace so we just went out outside on one of the levels to take photo. #budgettourists

NOT NICE DON'T BUY.

We took the same tram back down and settled on Honolulu Cafe at Stanley street for our lunch.

GO TRY THEIR EGGTARTS!!!! Their custard has this wonderful unique "watery" texture. Something like Old Airport Road's Lao Ban tau huey.

By then it was late afternoon and it was time for check-in at our hotel room at the YWCA. When I opened the door, I died a little. I swear it's damn pathetic HAHAHA We even had to use communal bathrooms.

Dinner at Tian Hao Yun near Mongkok. It's this tiny joint where you literally squeeze in one row with other people and have your meal. Apparently it's very famous.

Har gao, malay cake, and char siew bun (must order!!!)

Chee cheong fan, turnip cake.

The famous Mongkok, also where Ladies Street is located. Ladies Street is rubbish, a waste of time even going there. All they sell is overpriced tourists stuff. Better to walk further down where all the shopping centres are.

Forget where is this but the Mango Pomelo is frickin good! Just walk along Mongkok and you'll find plenty of food there!

And that's the end of Day 1. ;)

HongKong

2011-09-30T09:25:00.000-07:00

So I'm finally going to talk about my trip to HK! I don't know why, but I had such HUGEEEEE expectations of HK itself. I thought it would have great food, great shopping and great everything. But no, overall I ended up disappointed! Pfft oh well, serve myself right for having such crazy mindset.

Well first of all shopping was mediocre, really. I would only suggest buying international brands which are definitely cheaper than Singapore. Like a Longchamp bag only cost $162, in Singapore it would cost you $269. Maybe I went to the wrong places, but the shopping there didn't seem appealing to me. Its either overpriced touristy places, or your usual shopping centers with branded names.

Food wise, I didn't particularly like the food, but Yan Jing seem to enjoy it. I blame it on the "HK food" here which are catered to Singaporean taste. But one thing I found really good was the egg tarts (duh) and this char siew bun. It's not your regular pau, but its this slightly sweet powdery white bun filled with char siew. It was SO GOOD, too bad it's not available here :(

Gotta love their transport system though! Fast, clean and efficient! When you're inside you can literally feel the cold wind blowing at your face. Super shiok especially during the horrible hot weather. The MTR has a few exits which can conveniently lead you the your next location.

GUIDE TO HK A LA BUDGET STYLE (PART 1)

1. Fly by Jetstar

Self explanatory. Try doing an online check-in, which safes you the time and trouble of going there early. If not, be a kiasu auntie/uncle and be there first in line at the Jetstar counter at T1. YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET THE LAST ROW. Had that on my flight back to SG, worst experience EVER.

2. Book a hotel near the MTR

Use Agoda or Zuji to book to get a cheaper rate.

Basically it doesn't matter if you stay at a hotel at Kowloon or HK Island, but I strongly recommend just staying near the MTR. First day we stayed at the YWCA Anne Black and walked out I nearly died. It was pure torture for an unfit person who didn't get any sleep. Stupid website wrote there 10min walk to the MTR, but it was at least 20min walk!! Not to mention the weather was blazing hot, I reckon worse than SG.

3. Book your tickets in advance

Buy your tickets to tourist attractions online because chances are, they are definitely cheaper and you save time not queuing. Try Asiatravel, found them quite reliable and helpful. If you're in China, you can try buying from Taobao!

That's basically what you have to do before your trip there :)

Love/Hate relationship with the Holidays

2011-09-30T09:09:00.000-07:00

So for the past 5 weeks while everyone has been making full use of the holidays to work and get extra income, I've just been lazing at home seeing my money deplete slowly from my bank account. I feel quite guilty really, but the thought of my internship coming up just makes me very... sian. 3 whole months working in the real world, I might as well just make full use of my holidays to bum around as much as I can. The only highlight of my holidays was the trip to HK with YJ. Which was a real great experience because this is the first time I've organised a trip to a foreign country by myself and a friend. Will post an entry about it soon!

2011-09-06T10:42:00.000-07:00

So Hui Min finally came over to my crib and we made a home cook meal consisting of teriyaki chicken, fried chicken, mash potatos, broccoli with tau kua, and choc fondant cake. Weirdest combination of food ever, but it was nice anyway!

Always remember to use bitter sweet chocolate containing at least 70% cocoa if you're baking chocolate lava cakes!

Gadget destroyer

2011-08-25T01:56:00.000-07:00

So yesterday I didn't close my water bottle cap properly, and this resulted in 1/8th of my bag filled with water. Can you imagine how fucked up is it when I realized that my handphone, camera and iPod WERE DRENCHED!?!? I mean I had accepted my fate as being a wallet loser and gadget destroyer, but I still died a little when I saw what happened.

What worried me the most was my iPod. Because firstly, that stupid thing can't be opened easily so I can't take out the battery on the spot. Secondly, it started flashing all sorts of things on the screen like this monochrome "Do Not Disconnect" with a tick. Lastly, I couldn't switch off that little shit. So naturally I knew it was a goner out all of my drowned gadget. BUTTTT I have not given up yet, I read on some forums that its still possible for your iPod to be revived after a few days. So I am patiently waiting it out. My phone, which was on at that point, was actually ok.. till the screen started flashing and I immediately pulled out the battery. Here's some advice for those whom may face wetting/drowning your gadgets in the future. I wished someone had to me this before I attempted to dry it with a hairdryer.

1. Switch if off. If it's off, just pull out the battery and dry all the components ASAP.

2. DO NOT USE A HAIR DRYER TO DRY YOUR PHONE. Which was one of the first things I did, cause I vaguely remembered my dad doing this last time my LG fell into the drain. (YES IT SURVIVED!!!!! And its my current phone till my Motorola is working again.)

3. Put in your device in a container with silica gel packets (the small "DO NOT EAT" packets). If you don't have those, put it in rice for the time being and run to Daiso to purchase one. Rice apparently absorbs the remaining moisture left in your gadget.

4. Leave it for a few days then test your gadget. If it works, congrats! If it doesn't, fuck your life. Maybe you can wait for a few months and try again.

Hope this helps! My camera is working normally, now I'm waiting for my phone and iPod to be tested before I fly off to HK!

Pink Vespa!

2011-08-22T09:48:00.000-07:00

Well, so far my life has sort of changed since my last entry. I quit my job at Sauce, school is almost over, and I am hardly taking my driving lessons because of conflicting schedules with my instructor. Speaking of driving, I am now very into the idea of buying a Vespa. Never mind the fact that they're quite useless in terms of speed, I think they have a certain charm no?

Especially this pink one! It's so adorable! After my driving, I'm gonna start learning how to ride a bike. Then I can buy one and dresse up like barbie and scoot around in my pink helmet.

Bimbo ttm.

The power is yours

2011-07-14T18:29:00.000-07:00

I think I'm trying to kill myself by having so many activities going on this term. School, work, family, driving, dance and occasionally a social life and baking.

Although I feel like shit the morning after work, I'm glad to be doing so. No more overthinking and wasting my life away having depression thoughts in the night. Instead I am now learning practical stuff and constantly improving myself.

Not sure how long I can last, but hopefully I can maintain this as long as I can.

CARS!!!!!!!!!

2011-07-02T09:09:00.000-07:00

Lately I've been doing a bit of research on cars... specifically sports cars. Maybe because I have actually started driving lessons, and I'm one step closer to getting my driving licence. And I know I'm not that far away from owning on these babies! (who am I kidding. I don't even have enough money to buy a bicycle -_-)

When I am well-off and I have some spare ka-ching I shall get either:

Nissan 370Z

Mini Cooper

Madza Miata MX5

Ford Mustang 2006

Chevrolet Camaro (Yellow version also known as Bumblebee in Transformers 3)

And if I ever become a millionaire $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$:

Mercedes SLS AMG

Saw this on Transformer 3 AND IT'S SOOOOO DAMN SEXY. I am such a sucker for Gullwing doors.

Lamborghini Gallardo

Enzo Ferarri

But most likely I will end up getting a:

Peugot 308

Volkswagon Polo

Suzuki Swift

China - Feng Huang/Pheonix Town

2011-06-19T03:59:00.000-07:00

Well I'm back from China! I actually wrote a detailed post on the disgusting habits of the Chinese people, but I decided that I won't publish it because I sound all angsty and unappreciative. So I shall just summarise it. Basically be prepared for pushing, smoking spitting, litter throwing, hardselling, paying for toilet usage and tipping at EVERY SINGLE PLACE YOU CAN IMAGINE. No kidding. And I REALLY emphasise the hardselling and tipping you'll be facing as tourists.

So let's start with Day 1.

Flight from SG to Shanghai, then transit to a domestic plane to Zhang Jia Jie. FFFFF UUUU tours, how can this be counted as 1 day?

Day 2

The next morning we took the bus and drove out of Zhang Jia Jie to Feng Huang, also known as Pheonix Town. It is said to be one of the most beautiful villages in China, but I strongly disagree. The town has become very commercialised, and it looks more like a village of tourist shops rather than a historical site. The itinerary stated that we'll get to appreciate both the day and night scene of Phoenix Town. But to our horror, it gets worst at night! The whole place turns into a village of BARS. It sucks to know that many places are getting very commercialised to bring in tourist revenue.

Pictures from ZZJ to Pheonix town. For the first time in my life I actually saw a large scale terracing, complete with the farmer and ox walking through the paddy fields. It's amazing seeing how people live away from the city life.

First toilet break. Words can't describe how horrible this particular toilet is. Think paying 1Yuan, nasty smell, barely a wall in between the squatting "toilets"(basically you can see a person's everything).

First meal in China! Can anyone guess what's the meat show on the satay stick?

Arrived at our destination - Phoenix town

Me being a sucker, went to a cafe (of all places wtf) to have Tiramisu + Caramel Macchiato (of all food wtf). Someone shoot me for having Italian food in a Chinese town.

Pheonix town during the night.

Look at the number of bars!

Spent one night at the hotel before we head back to ZZJ the next day.

HOLIDAY

2011-05-31T09:31:00.000-07:00

Only 5 more days left before I can get out of this country and have a good holiday. Really looking forward to it, I really need to take a break from everything.

Is Peranakan culture dying?

2011-05-24T09:31:00.000-07:00

That is in fact a 14 mark question on my CA.

And quite frankly, IT IS DYING! I knew my great grandma was a nyonya, but it didn't occur to me that I was one too! Which I blame my grandma for this, because for as long as I remembered she has never:

1) worn a kabaya for special occasions

2) cooked peranakan dishes

3) spoke baba malay

Now she has a granddaughter who:

1) has never worn a kabaya

2) can't even eat sambal belacan, let alone chilli. (I remembered my parents being very disappointed with me as a kid because of my inability to consume chilli.)

3) can't even speak fluent dilect

The only peranakan possession in the family are my grandpa's furniture, and her self-sewn beaded heels which she gave to me when I was a kid. Something which I'm very happy about, because at least I have something to hold on and pass down to my child. But other than material goods, no real values or traditions have been passed down to the next generation.

I admit, I wouldn't have been bothered about this under normal circumstances. But this trip to the peranakan museum got me thinking about my roots. I know I can always be the one to learn more about peranakan culture and revive it again... But it's different. Nothing beats learning from your elders and knowing that their actually proud of their culture.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Farewell Clementi

2011-04-10T09:48:00.000-07:00

It has suddenly dawned to me that these few days are going to be my last days staying here in Clementi. We've been clearing up, packing, moving most of our stuff to a storage room, and packing again. Seems like a never ending cycle. Well today I'm gonna blog what I love and hate about living in this particular HDB block in Clementi.

Love

1. Convenience

This is one thing I'm gonna really reaaaalllyyyy miss about Clementi. I take about 15 min to get to school, and I can actually leave house at 10am for the 10am lecture and still be on time!!!! Not to mention, the ability to go home to take a short nap during that 4 hour break.

And Clementi central has basically everything now!!! From banks, cheap food to threading shops !

2. Buses

Unfortunately, I live in between Dover and Clementi Mrt station so I usually rely on buses to get me to places. And there are so many buses that goes everywhere!! Especially love the fact that there are 2 night riders - great for low budget nights.

3. Food

The great thing about having a coffee shop and a mamak shop below your block is that you'll never go hungry even on the most laziest or rush days. Now that the mall has half opened, and the food centre in full operation, a huge variety of food is about 15min walk away. But it sucked when both were closed last year, and like there was nothing to eat.

Hate

1. Construction workers

This is mainly the reason we're moving really. My mum's primary concern is safety, and it doesn't help when the construction workers ALWAYS there no matter what time we leave or return home. They will always be sitting in one line outside the block, just staring at you and talking to their friends. It's especially bad if they're standing on both sides and you have to walk in between them. Horrific! Yeah I mean we're still safe and sound after a year, but I guess its better to play safe.

2. Dodgy

An uncle that sells illegal cigarettes and hides them in the dustbin. Check.

Someone has jumped off the building to commit suicide. Check.

A huge O$P$ in red paint on the wall beside the lift. Check.

I wonder what would have been next on the list.

I guess Clementi would be a great place to live at once the en block projects is completed. New mall, new food centre, very central location with schools nearby. The only thing is that there are no private housing within the Clementi central vicinity.

I really I can't believe we're gonna be moving back to Hillview. It could be a good thing, but I'm dreading the 45min journey to school, the midnight cab fare and the inconvenience of not having everything 15min walk away. :( But I guess we can't have everything we want. Ah well.

Future

2011-04-03T11:38:00.000-07:00

It's amazing how time flies so fast.

2 years ago, the only major decision we were going to make was whether to go to a JC or Poly.

2 years later, it's entirely different. We're now discussing our actual future after JC/Poly/NS. From results, universities, degree types, to our jobs in the future. It all seems so real out of a sudden. Like we're all grown up, making decisions that are probably going to change our lives.

Samantha Vega launch party!

2011-03-29T10:07:00.000-07:00

So basically other than sleeping at 6 and waking up at 3, I'm pretty much wasting my life away this holidays. Made an improvement last week though, finally went for dance lessons after a long long time. My legs were dying after the first lesson omg, I need to exercise more often seriously. After resting my sore limbs for the next days, I went to Samantha Vega launch party at Zouk on Saturday with Hui Min. The launch was basically just a short speech followed by a fashion show. It was a pretty short event but since they were taking polaroids and they had people serving small snacks so it wasn't that bad.

The brand seems to be on the cutesy girly side with their pastel coloured bags with little bows and frills. I went to look at their fb page and I LOVE their wallets! So fucking cuteeeee! Can't wait for more of their Hello Kitty range to come, definitely gonna get one.

Pics from the day itself! (some stolen from HM's fb hehe)

I love backless dresses!

Bleach

2011-03-20T11:00:00.000-07:00

Been on a Bleach watching spree these week, and so far I'm liking it! So much violence and blood, but yet it's still funny and touching. Its been out for a few years already, but I haven't really gotten around watching it. Almost everyone I know gave up on the anime long ago and just stuck to reading the manga instead, so I'm hoping the rest of the episodes wouldn't be boring or draggy.

My fave so far is Urahara Kisuke, not really considered one of the main characters but he's super awesome.

HAHAHAHA

2011-03-15T00:57:00.000-07:00

Rebecca Black's Friday is so fucking hilarious. Got all these gifs/pictures from tumblr! If you don't know who she is, I suggest you watch this first.

What your Acne is Telling You

2011-02-24T23:51:00.000-08:00

Should be studying, but I'm making use of my once in a blue moon decent internet speed watching videos on youtube. Came across this video on bubzbeauty channel AND HOLYSHIT THIS IS TRUE. Gonna continuing pinning my fringe and exposing my large forehead till my acne is cleared!

Ramblings

2011-02-18T22:23:00.000-08:00

Finally the week long event is DONE, OVER, FINISHED! But that means the start of my first exam is about 5 days away.

I really reallllllly can't wait for the start of the holidays. But at the same time I'm kinda dreading it. Initially I'll be like "oh yay I can sleep in all day and catch up on shows with nothing to worry about", but after afew days I'll be like "fuckkkk, this is so borrrring I have no life." I mean you can go out everyday, but there is only so much you can do in this little island. Not to mention, your outflow of cash > inflow of cash.

The worse things is I won't be able to go on an overseas trip till June. And I'll be seeing Soon Eng and Yan Jing off for the last time before they go to China for their internships. Lucky them, I wish CASS offered overseas internship to us too.

Enough rambling, I should be studying.

The walls start breathing
My mind's unweaving
Maybe it's best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.

I give up.
I really don't know how to be me around you.
I've already tried making things right the last time, thinking that this "friendship" was going to be worth saving.
But I guess you've just proven to me again just how naive I am.

Facial expressions

2011-02-01T09:04:00.000-08:00

Went CNY shopping on Saturday with Lina all evening, and we only managed to take afew photos while waiting for our arriving-in-4min-trains.

1) The problem with dual screen is that you tend to stare at the screen rather than at the lens because you want to make sure you look chio/handsum.

2) :3

3) Me: OK LETS DO SOME OTHER POSE! DO FUCK YEAH GUY.

What its suppose to look like:

What we actually did:

4) Y-U-NO GUY.

What its suppose to look like:

What we actually did:

5) FFFFFFUUUUFFFUFU GUY AKA RAGE GUY.

What its suppose to look like:

What we actually did:

Okaaaayy, I think we seriously need to improve our facial expressions. Like all epic fail, BUT SUPER FUNNY!!! LINA, I LIKE YOUR Y-U-NO FACE BEST! HAHAHA!

Hugs

2011-01-26T00:22:00.000-08:00

I could really use a hug right now. Not one of those “It’s nice to see you again, I‘ve really missed you” type of hugs or those “Goodbye for now” type of hugs, but an actual hug. The ones where each person has two arms wrapped around the other person’s body, holding on tight enough so no one feels the need to let go. The ones that last for more than a couple of seconds so you can rest your head on the other person’s shoulder for a while. Not the one armed hugs that need to be rushed so they could give a hug to the next person waiting to be hugged. The hugs where you don’t have to say anything because in that moment we just click when we’re holding onto each other. Hugs that make you feel like the world is slowing down just for you and everything is going to be okay. It’s not just a hug anymore, it becomes something much more than that. One simple gesture had the power to motivate you and make you stronger. Hugs like these are rare since you’re not exactly sure when you’re going to receive another one again. Giving you every possible reason to cherish the moment and make it last.

Chuck and Blair

Penang Day 2

2011-01-16T19:41:00.001-08:00

Day 2

Went for breakfast outside since there was limited breakfast vouchers. We followed the food trail map that was suppose to lead us to good curry mee at Penang Delicious.

So I waited for everyone to order first before deciding on what to eat. My cousin Felicia ended up ordering this particular curry mee... which didn't look appetizing at all x_x The soup tasted like diluted chilli oil, and it wasn't very tasty. How on earth can they recommend this?!

So I saw another stall selling curry mee with yong tou foo and decided to try my luck. It least it looked pretty decent, and it tasted surprisingly good!

Our next stop was Kek Lok Si Temple because all the adults wanted to go there. It was allllll the way up the hill, so we had to climb this slope.

When I die and reincarnate, I want to be a turtle here. I get fed all day, and I can choose whether I want to stay in the shade or go sun tanning. Best part is, I will never be lonely!

So after the temple visit was lunch time. We walked to some road side stall and had assam laska and penang rojak. Although Penang is supposedly famous for their assam laksa, everyone seem to prefer the Jaya Jusco version of assam laksa sold in KL -_- So might as well go there to eat, instead of travelling to Penang just to try it.

Penang's rojak is different. Their rojak sauce is more thick and sweet compared to our version, and the you tiao is very crispy.

Before we headed to Batu Feringgi, I insisted on having CHENDOL! How can you go Penang and not have chendol?! Especially on a hot sunny day. So after much persuasion, my auntie agreed and drove all of us to this stall. I do not know how on earth do my relatives/mum know where is famous for what. It's like "let's eat chendol!!!", then they'll go "okay go lorong salamat, the famous one!"

Initially I thought it was the one stall with the sign below.

But turns out its the stall beside it. o_o I mean by looking you won't think this stall is well-known or famous.

Presenting...

THE FAMOUS CHENDOL WHICH IS DAMN BLOODY GOOD!!!!!! Simple ingredients, but they added just the right amount of coconut milk and gula melaka to make it omfg yummy.

AND THE FAMOUS ICE-KACHANG WHICH IS DAMN BLOODY GOOD TOO!!!!! SUMMORE GOT ICE-CREAM. Unlike the conventional one,with rose syrup, gula melaka and the green syrup (which I can never figure out what it is), this one uses rose syrup, gula melaka and sarsi. Topped with ice-cream and coconut milk ITS DAMN GOOD. Highly recommended.

So after our very excellent dessert, we went to Batu Feringgi beach again! I mean when you're in Penang, you only do 2 things - you either go to the beach or you're out somewhere stuffing yourself with food.

I decided that I really wanted this trip to be as fun-filled as possible, so I was determined to try out new things... like jetskiing. Couldn't find the same vendor as yesterday, so we found Ahmad/Ahmad found us.

My cousin, Felicia and I gearing up ourselves for this shitzxzx. Ok basically wearing lifejackets.

Ahmad is a very happy man because he is going to earn 100RM.

'

Bimbo wave ^_^ He's fetching us to the other side of the beach.

After waiting for our turn, the real shit begins!!!! We had this tutorial session with him, and I was the first one to try driving the jet ski. Omg exxxxcciiting! :D

After he left us to do it by ourselves,

This is our "WAH OMG THAT WAS SHIOK!!!!" face.

I really like this picture. I look like a stick tao kay neo questioning him hehe. He was nice enough to drive all of us back to Golden Sands where we spent our last few hours there.

My brother and I used to spam going down this slide when we were really young. So when we were there, I wanted to experience the good old times and go down the slide once again. So I happily went up the stairs with all the other small kids, waited for my turn, and went down the slide! I was so happy! :) But to my dismay, the moment I got out of the pool a lifeguard approached me and said, "how old are you ah?". OMG EMBARRASSING MUCH HAHAHA! So I said "18....", and slowly walked away feeling pai seh. Sometimes I hate being so old, you get judged for doing lots of things - like going down the slide :(

When it was time for dinner, we went to the end of the world to eat.

Restaurant that is. The serve really good seafood dishes, and price is reasonable (because of exchange rate).

Day 3

Time to check out of the hotel and make our way back to KL. My mum decided to try out a different way of going back. We took a ferry back to Butterworth, and from there we took a coach back to KL. And the coach had only 4 passengers!

Goodbye Penang, I'll see you soon! xx

Penang Day 1

2011-01-14T08:39:00.000-08:00

Now that I'm report free, presentation free and test free, I shall update my already dead blog.

I hate that the most of my content are taken from somewhere else. :( I no longer do those what-I-did-today post that people couldn't care less about. Anyway, I shall blog about the Penang trip during the December holidays!

Day 1

My mum and I took a coach from KL to Buttersworth bus terminal since it is one of the more convenient ways of reaching Penang island. From there we took a cab to Georgetown, the city area of Penang, where our hotel was located. Most taxi driver charge a flat rate of 25RM to go to any location from the bus terminal, but you can try bargaining 5RM off.

We stayed at Traders Hotel, and located beside it was a newly built shopping mall called First Avenue. It isn't fully opened yet, but there were afew shops that were operating, such as our favourite Kim Gary! But I honestly think that the quality of food at the Vivo branch is better!

The half eaten curry looks unappetizing, the taste is soso only. If you're ever there, try the pork cheese baked rice instead.

The hotel room and toilet!

Doing corny tourist-y pose is a most for overseas trip! Hahaha. This was taken at Trader's, while waiting for a shuttle bus to take us to Golden Sands Resort, which is beside Batu Feringgi Beach.

Golden Sands Hotel is like my most FAVOURITE RESORT in Penang. I haven't been there for like 8 years, and it still ranks #1 in my list. Lots of good memories with the family.

This was the hotel beside Golden Sands. I don't remember the name, but I do know is newly renovated and really pretty.

All the resorts are lined up in a row along the beach. So you can easily go into the resort hopping.

The weather in Penang is great, especially in the late afternoon where the sun isn't that strong and it gets really windy. There are lots of vendors on the beach offering foot massages, manicure, jetskiing, parasailing and viper (apparently a modified version of the banana boat). And the trick to getting a better equipment/longer time is to not decide straight away, but to take your time and decide. Eventually they'll give you some special offer. Ok maybe not special, but a different "offer" from what is written on their price list. Like at first it was 50RM for small parachute for 20min, then it became medium parachute for 30min. Apparently the bigger the parachute, the higher you'll go. I did go pretty high, but I reckon it didn't take 30min.

Gearing up!!!

Up, up and away I go! The feeling is fucking amazing, seriously. Like one moment you're on the ground, the next moment you're slowly walking and being lifted off the ground and into the air!!!!

The overall experience is super shiok, and you have this amazing view when you're up there! The only bad thing is that maybe your down there will feel uncomfortable because of harness.

My camera died by evening time so I didn't get to take any pictures of our dinner. There is this food trail map available at hotels, where they have recommendations on where to what. So the good thing about staying at the town area, is that you can easily walk to the different road side stalls for different dishes. I think we went to 4 different places that night just to try their recommendations.

But I must say the food there is really good and authentic, but I think our stomachs were not adapted to it. o_o Be prepared to go to the toilet.

Musings from an ex nice guy I know

2011-01-02T08:13:00.000-08:00

It’s amazing that assholes can get girls. Actually, now that I think of it, it’s not that amazing. They are assholes at heart, but to meet girls they lavish their undying love. IT’S A CHARADE. They act nice, friendly, and they listen… until they get into what they’re after. Their prey thinks they are in love with them, however when they realize what assholes their predators really are, they pretend like the asshole is really nice inside. The girl tries to change the asshole into a nice guy, but assholes will always be assholes. She gets upset and goes to the nice guy to complain about the asshole. But she claims to love the asshole… now this is where the theory begins. She doesn’t want to look like she is easy so she wont dump the asshole right away, instead she will stay with the asshole. Girls are idiots. They don’t realize that the nice guy has been there all along. He never had to pretend to be a good guy to get girls because he is naturally like that. However, girls don’t see it for some reason or another. They look at the nice guy as a friend, a trusted companion to whom they can tell their sad story to about their asshole boyfriend.

But the nice guy isn’t THAT naïve. He was trying to score with the girl he listens to all along. The problem is that since he is a nice guy he keeps listening. Since girls get attached to things that pay attention to them, they think of the nice guy as a friend. A FRIEND. They don’t say, “Oh he’s hot” or “I want to have his children” about the nice guy, they just want the emotional support. When they get the emotional support from the nice guy, they don’t need it from the asshole. The nice guy gets the shit end of the stick while the asshole gets all the action. I am starting to wonder if being a nice guy is really the route to take to get action… I have been down this path for all of my post-pubescent life and it has gotten me NOWHERE… at least not in the women department.

Perhaps another reason why girls fall for the asshole is because assholes ignore the girl they are with. The women wonder, “Why isn’t he paying attention to me?” so they explore why. They poke and prod and get closer to the asshole. They start to get easier with each attempt to get closer. The asshole finally says, “I’ve let this beauty dangle long enough, time to boat this bass”. It is then he puts on his charade and the girl feels like she has won him… even thought all she has won is an asshole.

Once you have gone down the path as a nice guy or a “listener” you can’t turn back. The girl will always go after the assholes because there are always nice guys there to listen. Once you realize that you are a “listener” you cant do anything about it… just pack up and close shop. There is no way you will get into her pants… ever. There is and never will be a situation where the nice guy will get the girl he has a crush on. It just doesn’t work like that. The girl wont “come to her senses” and realize what an asshole her boyfriend is like in the movies… instead she will just go after another asshole, and unless you stop being a nice guy, she will never go after you. Women complain that there are no nice guys in the world. Right. They are obviously not looking hard enough because there are nice guys EVERYWHERE!!!! Girls aren’t looking for nice guys… they say they are but they’re not. They are looking for the perfect asshole, but there is NO SUCH THING as the perfect asshole.

All in all, the nice guy gets the shaft. To all the girls out there with boyfriends that don’t treat you with respect, that don’t listen to you, and that don’t care about you I say this; look next to you. The guy that has been standing next to you the whole time is the guy you have been looking for. He is what you want your asshole to be like. He knows more about you than you know about yourself… because he has listened to it all.

Gifts for your guy

2010-12-07T07:36:00.000-08:00

Wynnie shared with me this page from glamour magazine on Christmas gift ideas for your guy, and I found it rather witty and interesting! It's like the most awesome guide for all the ladies who have no idea where to start from. Enjoy!

The man you've just started seeing

Not yet sure if he’s more than a friend-with-benefits? Hold back on the lavish present-buying and opt for something cheap, cheerful and – above all – perishable, so you don’t have to think about it gathering dust on his desktop after you realise on New Year’s Eve that he's quite annoying. A bottle of high-end booze would be a hit with most of the men we know, or a quirky house plant for the more metrosexual dude.

The man you know is not forever

Can’t bear to end it before Christmas, but certain there’s a sell-by date on this one? DO opt for a gift that says, well, not much, like a celebrity autobiography, or an inoffensive and utilitarian jumper from GAP. DON’T get something that requires that you hang out with him in the distant future, like tickets to a gig.

The passionate man

In the hot early stages of a relationship when even the thought of what Santa’s left you under the tree is insufficient enticement to get the two of you out of bed? We say go classic: a set of new lingerie for you, wrapped up in a nice package with his name on it. OK, you can throw in a nice pair of boxers or some luxe massage oil if you’re feeling particularly generous.

The sophisticated man

Seeing a man with rarefied tastes? Don’t panic if your Christmas budget can’t stretch to include his preferred luxury brands: get him a subscription to GQ, which will serve as a sweet monthly reminder that you admire his excellent style...

The family man

If this is the first year you’re spending Christmas with his family, the gifts you give to them are probably of greater significance than what you give him, and it’s probably most important that you impress his mum (we find that dads-in-law aren’t too fussed about what we give them). Best bet: conservative, perishable and not too personal, which says, “I’m a gracious, charming guest” but also says, “I’m not trying to become a member of your A lovely luxury food hamper, a Jo Malone candle – DO. An unusual piece of art that they’ll feel compelled to take out every time you come round – DON’T.

The long-term guy

If you’ve been together FOREVER and don’t feel like rolling out the standard prezzies, why not discuss the possibility of scrapping this year’s gift exchange in favour of spending the money on an experience that you’d love to have together? Think: a meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant, a city break somewhere you’ve never been, or lessons so that you can learn something new together.

The loved-up man

Have you just declared your love to each other? So sweet – this is the year that you can indulge in the urge to give him something a bit cheese-tastic...you know he’ll love it. Just stay within reason: framed photo of you together is

reasonable, tattoo of his face on your bicep is probably not.

The on-and-off man?

Expecting to love him on Christmas Eve, dump him by Boxing Day and then be back together by New Year’s Eve? Get him a box set of his favourite TV series for him to watch to keep busy while you’re having your off time.

The slow-to-commit man

Are the two of you at that stage when you’re ready to become an official couple but somehow it’s still going unspoken? Prime time for a touching homemade gift – nothing says “I really like you” then a slightly lumpy hand-knitted scarf, which says “I like you so much I spent hours making you this piece of personalised knitwear”. It’s very touching. Can’t knit? If you want to commission your nan to make it, we promise we won’t tell...

The engaged man

If you’re planning on tying the knot in 2011, you and your bloke are likely to be looking forward to weeks and months of wedding chat. You could get him a subscription to Bride’s, but we think he’ll appreciate even more a home-made gift certificate committing to reserve a day to spend together doing something you love together – and not talking about the wedding at all!

The ex

This is a delicate one – ideally, you shouldn’t have to give him anything, but if the break-up is pretty fresh it might feel strange not to. The strategy here: get him something thoughtful, but keep it inexpensive – a book he really likes, or an iTunes gift certificate if he’s a muso. Basically, you’re aiming for something that says “I care about you, but not that much.” Unless, that is, you’re still kinda mad at him, in which case you can always wrap up whatever he gave you last year and give it back.

The crush

A well thought-out Christmas present can be the perfect, subtle way to let a guy know you think he’s rather special without, well, actually telling him that you think he’s rather special. The key: something small that you know he’ll really appreciate. Fortunately, if you’ve been crushing on him you’ve probably held on carefully to his every word, so it won’t be difficult to get him something for under a tenner that will make him smile.

The long-distance man

Got something simmering with a guy who’s unfortunately far-flung? If a ticket for a visit is out of the question, consider other ways to make you feel closer together...an iPod Shuffle loaded with your favourite music, a webcam to make Skype calls easier, or a phone card so that the two of you can speak a bit more often.

The stuck-in-a-rut man

If you’re feeling like your relationship needs a little bit of a shot in the arm, skip giving him another pack of socks and opt instead for something that reminds him of why you got together in the first place. This could be anything from a few things to remind him of the early days of your relationship (a DVD of the first film you ever watched together, a night out at the restaurant where you went on your first date) or even tickets to a gig that he’ll want to go to with one of his mates to remind him that he’s still young and independent!

The stressed-out man

If it’s been a bit of a tough year for your guy, now’s the time to help him to properly relax. Give him a taste of what it’s like to be a beauty junkie and get him some indulgent grooming products or book him for a massage – even if he’s not naturally into pampering, we promise you that he’ll come round to the idea once he has a chance to kick back in a fluffy white dressing gown...

Just one more week

2010-12-05T07:03:00.000-08:00

Running away from the work that has to be done.

Sigh.

ONE MORE WEEK TILL I GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

“This ring will symbolize my promise to you to be true. To never pressure you to do anything more than kiss. To listen to your problems, to tell you when you have food in your teeth… or eye gunk. To come over to your house whenever you need something super heavy moved around. I promise to make you feel proud when you point down the hall and say ‘That dude’s my boyfriend’. I promise to do all of those things, without ever trying to sound like Matthew
McConaughey.”

This made me tear a little, too bad shit like this doesn't happen in real life.

Been on a binge fest lately.

I didn't realize I was that fat till I went to New Look to try on some dresses yesterday, and realized I could only fit UK10.

No more supper and unhealthy food for the next week :(

Kakashi, Minato and Naruto

2010-11-13T08:14:00.000-08:00

My Naruto sketch for Design and Illustration class on Friday. :))

His eyes are screwed... and the shading is kinda fail too butttttt I think it is decent enough to put up! Especially since it's my first time attempting to sketch an anime character.

Initially I was like "wtf we have to sketch and draw in this class?!?!", but later on I realized that sketching is rather therapeutic in some ways. Makes me all happy and calm.

---------

So today Keefe and I made an impromptu trip to AFAX. And we're going again tomorrow to make our $8 worth it! Hahaha. Anyway, since we was there already I really wanted to buy something. Or at least try my luck at the gashapon machines. So we decided on this really cute Naruto machine, because all the rest were quite boring and ugly.

And at that time there was 2 uncles refilling the machine with more balls (more chances) so we went to get change coins and went back there.

Me: Okay I go first or you?

K: Me! I hope I get Kakashi!!! *chants some rubbish and rubs the machine*

He turns the knob, a ball rolls out....... and K GOT KAKASHI! *jealous*

Me: ...... shittttt lah. What if I don't get what I want.

K: Come let me help you, I impart my magic.

Me: -_- okay whatever, let's just do this.

I turn the knob, and..................

Me: OMG I CANNOT SEE WHAT IS THIS. *runs towards the uncle at the cashier to help me open*

UNCLE WHAT IS IT? Is it Naruto?!

Uncle: Eh yaaa I think so. Got yellow hair.

Me: OMG AHHHHHH YES!! :D

Random guy beside him: Let me see. It's not him lah, it's his dad Minato!

Me: Huh!?! *dissappointed* WHY IS HE INSIDE?!

Random guy: There! It's on the gashapon picture what.

Me: ...............

So the uncle ask me to try another time, and promised to give me what I want even if I don't get it. So I went for it.

*insert coins*

*takes deep breath*

*turns knob*

KNOB GETS STUCK WTF.

-_-

So the uncle came and released the stuck coin, and made me try my luck again. So I was like NO DAD NO DAD PLS NOT THE DAD. And guess what?

I GOT HIS DAD AGAIN. -________-

But in the end the uncle went to dig out a Naruto ball for me. (Which is like 1 out of 10 balls!) So I left as a happy kid hehe.

Arachnida

2010-11-06T05:13:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I wonder how is it possible that I live on the 11th floor, and I still have cockroaches visiting every now and then. As I blog about this, there is a Daddy long legs spasming on my kitchen floor after than overdose of Baygon. This has got to be the most exciting killing of an insect, or in this case Arachinda. It all started when we came home from WCP.

Me: AHHHHH AHHHHHHH %67#@%^#&@^&

Mum: What? Cockroach ah?

Me: NOOOOOO ITS A BLOODY BIG SPIDER!!!!!!!!!!

Mum: Ohhh, I see it. *Takes plastic bag and attempts to catch it. But the spider fell and landed somewhere*

Me: AHHHHHH. OMG JUST TAKE THE BAYGON AND SPRAY IT.

5min later...

Me: OMG I SEE THE THING!!!!!!!!!! LOOK LOOK ON THE CEILING!!!!

Mum goes into the kitchen and sprays the Spider. Spider falls down and starts spasming awhile before it climbs up to a small table. It then crawls back and forth around the table leg showing no signs of defeat or injury. It stays at a stationary position, as if it were mocking me and telling me that my Baygon was of no use.

Me: OMG JUST USE A CLOG AND HIT IT.

Mum: YOU DO IT. Wait, use a newspaper to hit it instead. *handing me a roll copy of TNP)

Me: Hello this won't smash the intestines of the thing!!!!!

Mum: Will lah, just use it.

I was tempted to run over and smacked it till all the guts came out, but I chickened in the end and decided to stare at it from the living room. All I could think of was "DIE LITTLE FUCKER DIE!". True enough after 10min, Spider decided to drop off and spasm on the floor. Hooray! Then I went to spray more Baygon and after 5min, it curled up its leg and lie motionless on the floor.

Mum: Since I killed it, you better clean it up.

Me: NOOOOOOOOO WAY.

Mum: Use those da pao wooden chopstick and pick it up!

Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, can I use the broom method?

Mum: You sure? Later the spider eggs get stuck to the broom and when it hatches the baby spiders will be running everywhere.

Me: .......... Must I reallllly do it?

Mum: Hahahaha yes, go take a chopstick.

And so now I'm going to use a chopstick to pick up a spider. WTF.

Chuck and Blair

2010-11-04T12:15:00.000-07:00

Can't get enough of this week's Gossipgirl's episode - War at the roses. Because Blair birthday ends best when Chuck Bass is around.

B: What are you still doing here, Chuck? I threw you out hours ago.

C: I wanted to let you know the treaty is over.

B: Fine with me. This pretense of civility was exhausting.

C: Being amicable isn’t in our blood. I’ve realized we’re not friends, friends have to like each other and after what happened tonight, I could never like you.

B: I could never like you, either. In fact, I hate you.

C: I’ve never hated anyone more.

B: Every nerve ending in my body is electrified by hatred.

C: There is a fiery pit of hate burning inside of me, ready to explode.

B: So, it’s settled.

C: We’re settled.

Ikan billis and peanuts

2010-11-04T10:41:00.000-07:00

Woahhhhh, I didn't expect the ikan billis to look so disgusting and gross up close. You can totally see their eyes having some sort of cataract, and their lifeless bodies just lying on peanuts.

Hahaha I feel really bad eating them now. Normally I just open one small packet, pour the entire thing in my mouth, chew (I can feel my teeth crushing their little bodies) and reach for the next one. Though in this case my mum decided to buy the one is loose packed and she dumped everything into one container for easy consumption. It's damn good and addictive despite it being rather unphotogenic. Once you start eating this you can't stop!. :o

HAPPINESS!

My darling laptop is back and well again after screwing up for a month. As much as I hate to admit this, but Fujitsu laptops SUCK. Last year my hard disk failed and this year my motherboard failed. Sheesh, what's next? Is my battery going to explode and catch fire? But I have to say, the service staff is very efficient and fast. When they say they'll call back to make an appointment, they do.

---------

Halloween eve was awesome! Though I spend half of my night at TNP Sports bar, but there's nothing more awesome like free flow of food and drinks. It's the only time I can just order and try as much as I like! Hehe, and of course watching Man U beating Tottemham by 2-0.

After the match, Ivan signed us in to powerhouse. I swear the halloween crowds are horrible. It is crazily packed everywhere and you'll probably have to know a VVIP or something to get in. And I'm still quite sad that I only managed to wear my Greek-inspired costume for like less than 2 hours! I was "forced" to change into a black to show that I was supporting the Red Devils :( But it's okay, it was worth it and there's always next year!

It never fails to make my day hehe.

Halloween shopping

2010-10-27T07:38:00.000-07:00

Just came back from a whole afternoon of Halloween shopping with Wynnie. This is my first time actually going all out to buy costumes and props for Halloween, so it better be damn good!

Our first stop was the No.1 Costume costume shop, which is located in the middle of nowhere. The store is apparently the biggest one in sg, and was featured on Chick vs Dick! Upon entering, you would be greeted by racks and racks of costumes, ranging from Justice League to Dory the fish to everyone's favourite vampire/wizard/devil. They have a wide range of accessories to go along too, but good luck trying to find them because they are scattered all over the shop.

Most of the "good" costumes were already taken up, so if you want an ideal costume come early. But after browsing through the shop, I would discourage people from renting. Most of the costumes are huge, so not for skinny asians. And most constumes there are of the "conservative" type, so there are not much slutty options. *cough cough*

So we left empty-handed, and headed to Bali Lane/Haji Lane/Arab street to find an alternative costume shop. But it seemed like they were all closed down -_- But eventually after walking the whole of Bugis street, I got want I want and W finally decided what she wanted to dress up as.

So we had to travel all the way back to the No.1 Costume costume shop to get her wings. W was about to rent an ugly lao pok wings for $25 from now till Monday, untill I saw another pair which is new, 25% bigger and cost only $29.90! So always remember to look out for alternatives before renting anything.

Year 2 Sem 2

2010-10-17T10:07:00.000-07:00

School tomorrow.

Got my back-to-school haircut, with bangs above the brows and hair so short I can't tie it into a bun. I think going to wear a cap to school.

The sem's goal: 3.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot be stuck with my average grades and pray that my 16credit internship will magically save me and pull my GPA up. If not I'm doomed to be a waitess earning $1.8k/month and if people asked what my highest education is, I can only force a smile and say "diploma". FML

P.S: Hello Bear, welcome to my boring blog. :)

Amazing Pad Race

2010-10-13T09:12:00.000-07:00

I don't know what to do with my laptop. After changing the cooling fan and reformatting my lappie, THE FUCKING THING STILL HANGS. FUCK THIS.

Anyway it's time for me to update this dead blog of mine. Below are photos taken from this Laurier Are you a shooting star competition. Basically we had to run around Orchard finding stuffs that with need to take picture with. And believe me, IT'S NOT EASY. Like you think finding a guy with 2 dimples is easy, but nooooooooooooo! Most only had 1. The worse thing is when I asked, "hi do you have dimples?" people stare at me like I'm talking alien language. WTF. Then they either 1) stare at me like I'm crazy, 2) Go what?? what?? (pretend they don't know english) 3) ignore me and walk away. THEY ARE SUCH ASSHOLES.

But the worst was the red ferrari, I swear we walked through at least 5 carpark areas like Grand Hyatt, Marriott, Paragon and still nothing. In the end Lina decided we should just go to Toys'R'Us to get a toy one.

But I think the most FUCKOURLIVES moment were different.

Lina - Had to smudge mascara all over her lips to make it seem like black lipstick. Poor girl, apparently it feels fucking disgusting.

Me - I saw the first clue about the DJ and I was like, "OMG LINA YOU'RE RIGHT LETS GO LETS GO" then we fucking ran like crazy to *scape. Then we reach the 2nd floor and I was about to run towards outside where the the window was. Then before I knew it, BAMM! I KNOCK AGAINST THE GLASS DOOR EXIT. Fuck. my. life. This is my 2nd time knocking into a glass door. -_-

But overall it was kinda fun, not too bad. Though we leant to read carefully and think of creative ways to "beat the system" instead of having a rigid mindset.

Our epic photos! HAHAHA

Lina's freaky arm #1. Got Y-Shape damn cool k!

Freaky arm #2

XIAXUE!!!!!!! We wanted to take a pic with her, but she left so fast with Jess (underage-girl), so we didn't have a chance too! :(

My fav pic - Because it's too overexposed but I like it because you can't see my face but my legs hehehe.

Lina's favourite - Because I accidentally only manage to shot half of her face. LOL

Results

2010-10-03T11:10:00.000-07:00

I have finally got the guts to open my e-mail.

AND MY REACTION WAS "PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

On one hand, I did terribly. Meh. Expected.

But on the other hand, I PASSED EVERY MODULE. OH MY FUCKING GOSH. THAT'S THE SHOCKER.

I was VERY confident I was going to fail OM. I even visited Trudy, and asked her what was the worst outcome. Which is of course forward module, and I'll have to graduate a semester later. I even started thinking of ways I'm going to tell my mum why I'm graduating a sem later than the whole poly. -_-

But now I'm super relieved. :)) Dreading the GPA results though. EVERYONE REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR LETTERBOX EVERYDAY, make sure you get that letter before your parents do.

Stomach flu

2010-09-30T07:24:00.000-07:00

I am dyingggggggggg.
Have been having stomach flu for the past 3 days and I'm so hungry right now. The only thing I have eaten without puking was 2 slices of pizza on the first day I had it. Other than that, my stupid stomach has been rejecting all sorts of food intake. Fuck my life.

Worst part is I've developed all sorts of cravings. Minestrone soup, tom yum cupnoodles and now watermelons. WTF? Sigh, I think I will finally go to the doctor's tomorrow.

After these 3 continuous days working for Key events, MY LEGS ARE NOW IN AGONY!!!! But for the pay we are given, I guess I can't really complain. Plus we indirectly got to watch the F1 for free!!

Speaking of F1, I do not understand what's the big hype about this race event :/

I mean in the beginning it was quite exciting. You can see all the different cars at the starting point with their engines roaring loudly waiting to go! But 5min into race, it gets.... boring. It's the same scene over and over again for the next 2hrs - cars zooming past every other 30sec. Can't imagine that there are people who actually paying like $1.2k(?) to watch it from the Grandstand. -_-

I would say the highlight of the F1 was when one of the cars caught fire. Everyone went "O_O" including me. Because the part of the track where he stopped was directly infront of us, so we could see all the crew running towards the car and putting it out. Not forgetting the fact that Lewis Hamilton was out of the race. Quite funny cause everyone was expecting him to win either 1st/2nd/3rd position.

And initially I was thinking why almost every guests requests for earplugs, not wanting to hear the "authentic" noise of the cars. Later did I know it was fucking noisy and loud!!!! Especially every time the the door opens, everyone sitting/standing near the door gets the FULL impact. And it's NOT tolerable at all. So you either be a moron and cover your ears everytime the car zooms by, or squish those earplugs in your ears.

My favourite mooncake for this year is the Champagne Truffle Mooncake from Raffles Hotel (above). Though its box pales in comparison with the other brands, the mooncake is absolutely divine. :D

I miss my blog

2010-09-19T13:47:00.000-07:00

After about 2 weeks, I have decided I miss vintagespice. First it was toastabread, then it was sweetspicysalty (ahem, inspired by SSS at railmall), both which sounds retarded. Thus I've decided to move back to VS. Coming up with a decent blog name sure is hard -_-

So I'm back suckaz. :D

Ben would always tell me to focus on the positive things in life, and I would always retort him by saying that there is none. But after talking, reflecting and bawling my eyes out today, I finally got it.

Can't wait for GG seriously!!!! It's gonna be shot in Paris, so it's gonna a good time to brush up my French. :)) Tres bien.

: )

2010-08-19T10:56:00.000-07:00

This is Brendan, my dance partner. Although he looks like a grumpy grouch here, I must say I'm very grateful for him as my partner. :) I mean, who else would make sure I had fake eyelashes for competition? And even ask if I want long bling bling ones lololol.

Glad to have you back. :))

(and I must say the beauty shot function does wonders to our face! :o)

Wedding gowns

2010-08-16T12:15:00.000-07:00

One of the things I must do before I die is to get married. :) I will always tell my mum that no matter what I MUST GET MARRIED. I want to wear a gorgeous wedding gown, walk down the church isle with my dad hooking my arm, and my future husband waiting for me at the alter. :))))

And if my husband is rich enough, I'll ask him to get me a Vera Wang gown!!! Heheh. Like the one Kate Hudson was wearing in Bride Wars. (above right) I absolutely LOVE long poffy gowns. There's something about them that is so princess-y. But I guess it would be difficult to move around because of all the tulle netting, which is both heavy and bulky.

"Straight" gowns like the ones below are nice too... all Vera Wang designs.

I think it would be cheaper and much easier to wear, but it just doesn't give the same feel. But I really like the 3rd gown with the toga style, it's rather unique and sophisticated because most gowns are either tube (straight or heart) or V necklines.

But if I ever die before I get married *touch wood* *touch wood*, my mum say she'll find one husband for me. Like finding another parent who has a dead son and they'll go through the whole Chinese ceremony so we're wedded. Hahaha!

I'm superficial, whatever. :3

hairdye, dyehair

2010-08-10T05:58:00.000-07:00

Finally got my hair dyed in a proper salon!!!! Went with Wynnie to Ian's mum salon hoping to get a good dye job and good discount. Till now I'm still very reluctant to part with $75 for my hair ;_; It's damn expensive but the results are definitely better than bottle ones. And once you But its time to say goodbye to having ugly black roots and dual coloured hair. They've been with me for too long.

I swear its really hard to choose a colour. Like for example you have in mind a reddish brown hair kinda colour. But when you start looking through the hair colour book, you realize that there are actually more options out there. You then reconsider your choice - whether you want it darker/lighter than what you have in mind; whether you want another colour now that you have seen what's available; whether it would be obvious when its done; whether it would look shitty when it fades.

In the end I picked dark chocolate, which was far from what I had in mind -_- I would normally get colours like 5.63 so it would be obvious when the colour starts to fade. But for some reason I decided to try brown. Kind of regret it for now, cause the colour isn't as rich and obvious. Maybe Milk chocolate or Cappuccino (wtf awesome names they have) would have turned out better. Wynnie picked Ash brown, which didn't turn out to be anywhere near ash brown hahaha either.

Thought the colour was nice... until I saw the word "Green". Decided to think twice.

Beginning:

End results under sunlight:

---------

Things I've learnt:

1) When you go to salon, check if it's yellow/white light. IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE to how the hair colour looks like on the colour book.

2) Avoid dyes with copper colour, because it will eventually fade to some shitty colour. (As said by the tao kay neo)

3) Don't keep dyeing different hair colours. It's bad for your hair because if you want to have a certain colour in the future, they will have difficulty mixing the dye to your ideal colour cause your hair's fucked up from dyeing too many colours before.

4) Instead of waiting a century for your black roots to show before finally going to the salon, go back for root touch up every 2-3 months. It helps to make your hair colour "constant", and you'll have nice hair. (As said by the tao kay neo again)

5) Your hair will never be the same as the ones in the colour book, cause we're asians and we have black hair. Fuck our lives.

Hope this helps! Peace.

Oh hi moronic fuckers

2010-08-02T09:02:00.000-07:00

Lol wtf?

I didn't know my tagboard was damn happening. -_- Not like I even bother coming to my blog that often anymore until Jem told me.

I got a question... will spamming my tagboard even work?! What's the point of it really?

You want me to be angry?

You want to hurt my ego?

You want to make me cry in bed every night?

Sorry but it doesn't work the way -_- I've got better things to do than to entertain your tags. Please save yourself the trouble and do better things, like finishing your homework or projects. Or bitch about some famous person. Tyvm.

And thank you for those defending me. Love you many many!!! Mwwwahh.

YOG songs

2010-07-26T22:29:00.000-07:00

You know this YOG theme song that has been playing repeatedly over and over after every TV show? I admit that I really like the song. It makes me feel very patriotic, that I'm proud to be a Singaporean and my country would be hosting the first YOG in history! But I just have one issue with the video...

Why is that dude from Europe playing the guitar in the middle of no where?! Best part is that there's no plug, so technically we cannot "hear" anything he's "playing". I don't know if the purpose is for him to look cool or rocker dude. -_-

Okay so I went to youtube him and apparently playing the guitar is like his thing. His name is Steven Appleton, and he's hot! But he still looks retarded playing the guitar while standing on grass. Check his cover of Firelies, he's quite talented.

And the other thing that horrifies me is the JJ Lin song. The "oh yeah oh yeah hey!" rubbish. Wtf? It's like the most retarded song ever, probably the best way foreigners can mock us. I mean I thought JJ WAS TALENTED. So why on earth did he produce this nonsense song? -_-

But I should really admire him for being thickskin and do the actions without feeling paiseh. Not to mention he can look so happy doing it, like it's the bestest song evaaaa.

2010-07-25T03:03:00.000-07:00

So this week I caught 2 movies - Inception and Sorcerer's apprentice.

Inception was mindfucking. It's the kind of show that requires you to watch it several times before you truly understand the show. Half of the time I didn't know what was going on -_- Because the theory behind the whole idea planting thing was so chim. But nevertheless I enjoyed the graphic element part of the movie. Being a media student, you will truly appreciate how amazing the editing is. And you especially know how tedious is it to film stuff.

Sorcerer's apprentice was not bad. I think I'm beginning to develop a liking for magic wizardry shows. Oh and initially I though the main actor was kinda ugly on the poster, but in the movie I realized that he was actually quite a cute geek!

For Nicholas Cage, I don't know what were the stylist thinking. He looks like a 60yr old hobo who hasn't bath in a century... no?

Overall it was quite an enjoyable movie with interesting spells and magic. A few funny moments here and there. The part that I didn't really like about the show was the ending. The villain died too easily, and there wasn't match of a battle between good vs evil. Anyone could guess the ending -_-

After watching this show I want to date a science geek! I mean we all want to date movie stars or singers, but I would like to date a cute geek. Someone who'll share random science things and have intellectual conversations with me. And most importantly they must have a ♥. No point being smart, but deep inside they're psychotic bastards.

I want to runaway.

Motorola Dext

2010-07-13T10:42:00.000-07:00

Introducing my newer new phone! My first motorola dext couldn't start up, so I had to get another set from Singtel. It's touch screen and qwerty, so it's quite bulky and heavy for a phone. But the plus point is that it's a andriod, which means I can d/l apps just like the iPhone. But I've yet to learn how to discover and install -_- And since it's a social networking phone, I can see every status update on FB/Twitter on my homescreen, but that's if I'm on data.

bai

2010-07-13T10:23:00.000-07:00

I've deleted everything that was left of us... something I should have done eons ago. But I didn't want to because that meant my only memories left of you would be gone. Although I'm doing it for stupid reasons, I'm glad I did it.

2010-07-11T08:06:00.000-07:00

My Sunday: List of unfortunate and fortunate events.

Managed to wake up on time (++)

Scratched myself deeply and I could see my skin underneath my fingernail (-------)

Realized that I can't meet up with anyone to go NP (--)

Realized that everyone is still at home despite me wanting to join them at the last min (--)

Phone dropped on grass patch, then bounced off and drops into the drain (-----------------------)

Walked to central 7-11 wanting to buy a phone, but non-camera is $60+. Wtf? (-)

Decided to take bus to NP

Brendan and Ian was waiting at bus stop (++)

Everything was chaotic, and I had to constantly rushed back and forth -_- (-)

Most NPDS people recognized that I was wearing HuiMin's costume. -____- (------)

First round, screwed. (--)

But we made to 2nd round. HAHAHA JOKE. (+++)

Lost my balance halfway and Bren had to push me back up. EMBARRASSING TTM. (---)

Made it to 3rd round.. WHATTTT THE? :O:O (+++++)

Got kicked out at 3rd round. But it's okiezxz.

Got to watch the rest of the performance.

Decided to take out my contacts on the way out of auditorium, and threw them into the bushes.

Realized I forgot to bring my specs. FML. (----)

Realized I'm going to be blind for the rest of the day. FML X3984320 (--------------)

Went to Church.

Dad managed to find me in church.

Went to KimGary's for dinner. (+++)

Told him the sad story on how my phone died.

Dad suggested we go to Singtel to see if we can get a new phone.

And apparently I can! (++++++)

Dad insisted I get an android phone cause iPhone 3Gs 8GB is $388 with a $39/mth plan. Which he feels is way too exp. Agreed with him because I've destroyed 2 phones, and drown 2 phones. Only one phone has survived with me. Come to think of it, my LG is good. Although its super laggy and there's no functions, but it has survived like hundreds of drops. Like really hard drops. Which I presume would not be the same in the case of an iPhone. Maybe after like 3 drops it'll die on me.

Got the Motorola Dext in the end cause it was an android and the brochure it put "unlimited data plan". Which of course wasn't the case because it's too good to be true. Apparently I have to pay an additional $24 a mth to get my "unlimited data plan" blehhhhh. So it was a ++++++ day because I had dinner with my dad, got a new phone, and managed to get into the 3rd round of the TDA dancesports competition!

OCTOPUSSSS.

2010-07-07T09:44:00.000-07:00

The cutest sea creature:

THE OCTOPUS. Not just any octopus, but Paul the Octopus. Who apparently have the amazing ability to predict the outcome of Germany world cup games.

"The prized prophet informs humans of his prediction by choosing between two boxes, each containing a delicious snack and decorated with a World Cup country's flag. Paul correctly picked Germany to conquer Australia in their first game, and he even called Serbia's shocking upset against the Germans.

The sea-bound seer faces a unique challenge for his next selection. Paul was born in England, Germany's next opponent, and thus has deep allegiances to each team. It may never be known which team Paul will be rooting for, but he will predict a winner on Friday."

--source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/24/world-cup-octopus-pauls-p_n_624597.html

"With no further delay, behold the new picture of Paul the Octopus’s latest prediction. Yes, he thinks that Spain will sink the 3-times World Champions to advance to the finals. The official words come from the Oberhausen’s Sea Life Aquarium on Tuesday.

“Paul has decided that Spain will win,” Fey said in a phone interview. “But — and that’s a big but — Paul got it wrong only one time and that was also a game between Germany and Spain, therefore we think he just simply can’t get it right when it comes to this combination.”

Paul’s predictions in this world cup have been accurate and flawless."

-- source: http://prashish.wordpress.com/2010/07/06/pauls-prediction-in-spain-vs-germany-match/

Well we'll know later whether spain will win, like he predicted. But right now I'm craving for some takoyaki (octopus ball) muhahaha.

Off to M'sia for a weekend holiday.

Bye bitches! XX

Whatever seriously.

2010-06-24T08:06:00.000-07:00

I extremely hate it when people tell me off. Like...

"you know you're always being so arrogant around people, you should change",

"you're always so selfish and self-centered, don't spare a thought for others.",

"omg you shouldn't call her names, that's totally uncool and unnecessary."

Yes I know I know. I have a brain. So stop it. STOP IT ALREADY. I don't need you to tell me that. Fine, if you're concern about my well-being and want to get it out of your system, then say it when I'm feeling extremely guilty over something or someone... NOT when I'm normal and fine. Because I'm attempted to punch and scream at your face.

I mean it's not like I'll fucking change overnight and start being an angel and boot-lick everyone. If you can't take shit like that, then it's best that you don't be associated with me. I'd rather be a bloody loner all my life, then put a stupid mask on and hide the real me. Sooo SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAHHHHHHHHHHH, I'M SO BLOODY PISSED.

The New Paper New Face '10

2010-06-22T08:57:00.000-07:00

Imagine this.

You know you were sooo close to being the top. So close to achieving something you wanted. You wait in anticipation for your result, staring and checking at your phone all day. You still haven't receive the call yet. You decide to check your Facebook and surprise surprise, the other 18 girls have already been notified. You realize you've probably didn't make the cut. Your dreams, your hope, your ambition has been crushed. And most importantly, your ego has been bruised so bad.

To some it may be nothing, but for me it was something I wanted it so badly. Why? Because I thought it was something I could be good at. See, I can't be a commentator, a host, an ambassador, a writer nor a lecturer's pet and now I can't even get 3 men to choose me as top 20. I initially wanted to write this post earlier. But I was hoping I would be announcing FUCKYEAH TOP 20! instead of the fucked up post.

Yes, life goes on. Yes, there will be other opportunities in life. But how many of them will I actually be part of? Anyway, here's the whole process.

1st round audition at Suntec City mall. About 400-500 girls showed up, including me! :)

2nd round was closed door audition at Subaru Hub. About 140++ girls showed up. 1st round on that day was to walk in groups of 5, smile then walk out. From there, they cut down to 80+ girls. We went in groups of 10, gave a brief introduction of ourselves and did a catwalk. And 10years later, they announced the results! I was one of the top 25. I was frickin happy that day. But it kinda sucks to know you're in, but no officially in. I know I should be happy for making it this far. But sigh, it's just not fair :(

3rd round - Photoshoot at SPH.

Qian Ru was one of the girls I talked to~

Petrina.

See how nice her maxi dress is! *Jealous*

I think I had the suckiest outfit and hairstyle. Just look at that baggy shapeless brown thing. And my hair was ironed straight like I just rebonded it. Compare our clothes and hairstyles!! :'(

I frankly don't know how to "rock my outfit/hair". All I could feel was boring, dull, plain jane. I was kind of disappointed that he guy in charge, wee teck, didn't give me much tips on how to improve during. I mean, I think it would've helped... you know. Even it was harsh.

When I asked him why he didn't give me tips, he said: "you did well what!!". Well either he's lying, or he already gave up on me during the shoot :(

Btw she's 181cm, freaking tall zomg. Taller than you, you and you.

Scary close up of me. ^^

The other 5 girls! The rest made it through except for me, and the girl holding the cam. Sighhhh.

Whatever man.

Happy 18th Mak Hui Min!

2010-06-13T07:32:00.000-07:00

It's back to Clementi with my mum once again. Been staying at my grandparent's house for the past week while my mum is away at KL. Was suppose to go with her, but I ended backing out.

In some ways I'm glad I didn't go along with her. Had a little bonding time with my dad and grandparents. I swear their house is the best getaway! Meals provided, high speed internet and cable tv - really what I'm deprived of now. :( But too much of a good thing is bad. I've been sleeping late everyday and I just realized how HORRIBLE I look. My eyebags are at least 10kg!!!

Anw, attended HuiMin's birthday at Safra on Thursday. Happy 18th sweetie! We must meet-up and catch up regularly!!! Wait for July 9! THEN WE CAN PAR-TEY LEGALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Leanne's bringing sexyback ;D

Fattydan: I'm da pimp yo. Check out my playboy shirt.

Random photo taken while waiting to go in Butter fact. But in the end we couldn't go in cause 3 of us were underage. Actually quite stupid, cause I just pass them my ez-link card and the guy immediately led me out. He went "underage ah." and I went "no no-alcohol stamp?" jokingly. And he obviously said no. Hahaha, failed attempt. So about 6 of us girls squeezed at the back of Debbie's bf car, and we drove to Clarke Quay. Tried Rebel, Zirca, Yellow Jellow - but failed to get into all. -_- Fuck our lives lol. In the end we gave up and headed to MacDonalds for supper. Despite many rejections, I felt was one of the best nights ever. The thrill, the experience, the excitement. I loved every minute of it.

Astons and The Karate Kid with 05

2010-06-11T09:08:00.000-07:00

Class dinner and movie with Mr.Adrian ^^

Evidence #1 that Adrain is damn good at camwhoring with his camera!!!! And we wonder why......

I would say the food kinda suck at Suntec's branch. The chicken was cold and hard, but the side dishes were okay. I heard the ribs wasn't so good too. :(

Verena and I went to try Naughty G before the movie!!!!! Cheap thrill!! I always wanted to see how it taste like. But it's nothing much really. Just tasted like coke with a bitter after taste. Bleh.

We caught the karate kid, and it was honestly better than I had expected. But then again, kungfu shows are not my favourite. Ironically my parents absolutely love watching those ancient chinese drama shows where the characters fight and use their "super powers" like buddha punch or something to attack one another. Like dragon saber sword or something. -__- Wtf much. Anyway so I saw Darren's tweet.

I want to prove a point here. The movie should be called KUNG FU KID and not Karate Kid. It isnt called karate for nothing.

about 24 hours ago via TweetDeck

Make sense actually. Isn't Karate a Japanese martial art? :O Cause the movie was more on Qi and kungfu techniques, so it kinda doesn't make sense.

After the movie, photo taking session.

Evidence #2!!! See what I mean by his awesome camwhoring skills? :D

So I'm back to blogging! So post something on my formspring/tagboard, I PROMISE I'LL REPLY. HEH.

I like how original your blog layout looks like. I have NEVER seen this layout ANYWHERE else.

Encounter with Steven Lim

2010-06-09T11:28:00.000-07:00

On the way to FEP this afternoon, Steven Lim appeared out of nowhere and asked me whether I could listen to him. Since I had nothing to do while waiting for Ben, might as well entertain him. (don't judge me) And waddayaknow, he asked me to join his online modelling agency. He kept insisting I am very suitable, got the looks, and he'll promote me to his clients everyday blablahblah. I mean it's very convincing and all, but the most irritating part was he kept INSISTING that I go to the ATM machine and withdraw $100 in order to join his agency. Anyway, I decided to make life difficult for him hehe.

Steven Lim (SL): Do you have your ATM card with you? If yes, please head to the ATM and withdraw $100 please thank you :))

Me: What if I don't have $100?

SL: Er, then how much you have?

Me: Eh around $50? I also not working... just a student, very poor one.

SL: Then why not you withdraw the $50 and after grooming all that you can pay me back when you have the cash? :))

Me: How bout after I get my first assignment, then I pay you after I get my pay.

SL: Sorry, in order to join you must pay $100. :))

Me: Why cannot?

SL: Sorry, in order to join you must pay $100. :)) (that idiot keep insisting that I pay him. Urgh.)

Me: Or can you give me discount? (LOL.)

SL: Haha, you very cute eh. *sacarstic* (probably getting very irritated by me HAHAHA.) Sorry, in order to join you must pay $100, company policy.

Me: But $100 very expensive leh.

SL: See what I earn *shows me his income statement* (apparently 95k/annum worrzxz), you think $100 to me is a big deal? Do you think I dress like a poor man?

Me: (yes he does wtf. He dress like some coffeeshop ah pek) Then why you must charge? How about you let me get in for free? :D

SL: Hah sorry, really cannot. (probably wants to punch my face now) So you want a not? Please got to the ATM and withdraw your money first :))

Me: Sorry don't want.

SL: Ok thank you :)) (must be thinking "KNNBCCB WASTE MY TIME.")

LOL. I enjoyed that 10min conversation with him. His face is really big in real life, and he smiles alot too :O

My broken door

2010-05-24T10:30:00.000-07:00

So alot of drama happened tonight. At 10:30pm, I discovered my room's door knob suddenly got fucked and lose, and when I tried pulling the thing it didn't budge. So I decided to wake my mum up, telling her what happened. She tried and tried, but we were still stuck. Fuck our lives. So my mum said something about calling the fire brigade, so we called the Civil Defence Force and those mother fuckers were useless. They kept suggesting we ask a relative/family to call the locksmith. I mean like, c'mon if we could do that we wouldn't even be calling YOU in the first place right?

But in some ways I was a little disappointed inside. LOL. I thought I would get a chance to use their mega long ladder :( So option no.2 was to call the locksmith. Nicholas was so sweet, he willingly came over in such an ungodly hour to monitor the repairman. But I know he secretly finds it so exciting! Too bad I couldn't see anything. I could only hear the banging down of the door, and the pushing and unscrewing of the door knob. Exciting much! Twitter updates below!

I'm proud to say that I've passed my French I in SP!

Hahah, although I probably don't deserve it. But honestly SP's French teachers kinda suck. It was initially one classroom full of students, and by 2nd sem there were only like 10 of us left. And I heard that the other French I class from 20+ drop to around 7.

Now I'm taking E2 French at AllianceFrancaise at Newton. And omfg, the teacher speaks French 90% of the time and I'm like totally clueless on what she's talking about in class. I swear they speak like a bullet train in real life.

Angsty!

Sheesh, it seems like I've been rejected for every single thing I applied for.

- Comperes

- SPARC

- Robocup

Fuck this shit. I hope the saying "when one door closes another door opens" comes true AND I WILL BE X10 BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU ALL. You guys can totally eatmytoes!

Yes, I'm damn sore because I got rejected. And no, I don't need people to tell me I'll face a lot more rejection in life and this is just the beginning. I totally need to scream and punch something now.

Yesterday was my dad's 50th birthday. Before that I've been thinking for days whether I should even wish him a happy birthday or go out with him for a meal. It was a difficult decision but I've decided that it was time, time to face reality. I can't hide the truth and denial forever. Because even after all that shit, he's still my dad after all. So I decided to ask him out for dinner, my treat.

On the journey towards Cathay I didn't know what to expect. We haven't spoke for around 2 months and the last time we saw each other, we hardly made eye contact. But to my surprise it went pretty well during the dinner at Astons. I think it was probably the only day where we weren't interrupted by his handphone, and our conversation didn't involve shouting at each other. In fact, I don't even remember having such a decent conversation with him over the years. It was a genuine father and daughter talk. I told him about my life in poly, like how ironic that I'm a student assistant who knows nuts about computers and is helping people install software, while my brother is an IT geek and he doesn't have this kind of job. And my genius dad even came up with a muthafucking awesome egg drop foolproof plan that actually worked during our trial runs. We talked some more over cakes and tea after dinner. And finally it was time to go home, and he took the 106 back with me.

I guess having distance helps. I'll probably would never have the "ideal family" ever again, but it's okay. Because after this entire shit, I know I've become a much stronger person and I've learnt alot of life lessons which textbooks can't teach. Sometimes you just have to accept the fucked up reality and carry on with life. Nobody cares how unhappy you are, you just have to suck it up and pray for the best.

I wish I could tell my dad how much I love him.

I don't know whats happening to me. It's either the weather, or an accumulated amount of deprived sleep, but lately I just find myself very sleepy all the time. Everyday I'm just dying to lay my head on the table and sleep for the entire lecture. Which I often do but only towards the end of it.

This happens especially during every week of DMA, where the place is dark (during lecture) and the air-con is on full blast. And I guess you could say that Adrain's voice plays a part in putting me to sleep. Omg, what's wrong with me?

Hugs and kisses for everyone who helped :)

Okay, so I lost. After all that shit, I'm 20 Likes behind.

But it's okay.

I swear she's one tough scheming bitch, not giving up till the very end. Who could beat the crazy bitch who got 10 likes every min when the competition was going to end?

Not me.

But I would never have imagined getting 562 likes. It has been a long long journey. From persuading my friends to like, to getting them to get their friends to like, to getting strangers to like by walking and asking around foodcourts and the SPICE desk. Well, I guess I just didn't try hard enough. I was too complacent. But now that it's over, I can stop talking about it and stop being so shameless. Hooray!

P.S: I shall join in the crowd, and I'm putting up my formspring again! (on the right) Ask/Tell me stuff. :)

The party don't start till I walk in~

So for last week, I did 2 fashion shows. One was for SP's Green Day and the other one was for Bread+Butter for Zouk's 19th Anniversary. Zouk's was fucking awesome!

Makeup was by MAC, hair styling by Toni&Guy. I totally look like a crazy ghetto girl. At the end of the show, met up with the Modz and partied the night away. The mom (who is usually a super strict and niao) was awesome enough to let me stay till the club closed. Life couldn't be better :)

MAC make-up room. Any vain girl can just die in happiness with the amount of makeup displayed. I'm the only one sitting at the table because my makeup artist (MUA) was too tall. ._.

Apparently my MUA from SP and has been a make-up artist for 10 years. Wowowow. But seriously, he's damn nice. He helped me tweezed my bushy and unkept eyebrows (which NO make-up artist have ever done for me T_T), and gave me some make-up tips. I also found out I do not have a heart-shape face!!! But in fact an oval face. Wtf. All these while I've been deceiving myself. And he also pointed out that my forehead shade is slightly darker than the rest of my face. I stare at my forehead every now and then and I've never ever noticed!

I even asked 2 hair stylist for opinion and both said I should keep straight bangs and long hair. Geez, looks like I'm going to have this hairstyle for a looooong long time. Ok, too much bimbo talk.

After first round of makeup! This is with Brandon, whom I recognized from Red camp. Decided to talk to him during the fitting, and found out we were both loners. FOL. Stuck with him the entire time.

UTT IS FRIGGIN CUTE :3 But he's kinda short. LOL.

I think I look like a freak.

The Modz. ♥
It's been a year since we got to know each other since Lollipop! Hahaha, thanks for the support!

Would like to thank this bunch of girls for helping me sneak into Phuture. Best first-time experience anyone could have! Hahaha.

Earth day show! Please tell me why I always get the worse outfits??? :(

First day of year 2

2010-04-19T07:12:00.000-07:00

So on the first day of school, I gave a hug to all the people I know. :) Feels good seeing everyone after a long break.

I have a feeling Consumer Behaviour aka CB is going to be like FOM all over again. Minus the fucked up teacher who gave me a C because I didn't turn up for his 8am tutorials. Oh whatever.

Think I went a little crazy today during MMR. I mean first part of the lesson was alright, till she said "okay, now I want you to stalk your year one juniors and find their blogs!". Woaaahh, it was my calling!!! I was totally hyped and immediately went to stalk. And now, I get a waffle treat for that! :) I don't care if I'm going to have to slug my guts off, I. must. get. a. damn. A. for MMR!!!!!!!

That's all for day one. XX.

Year 1

2010-04-17T09:31:00.000-07:00

Before being (officially) a year 2, I shall blog how my poly life has been as a year 1. Shall be completely honest and open so that next time I can read and laugh about it. Jyeahz.

I remember being so excited that poly was finally starting. Going through the enrollment process, getting my photo taken and having buy my very first laptop! I remember walking with Shafarie through all the camp booths, deciding which one to choose. Initially I wanted to go to SPSU's camp (because can meet different people from different courses!), but in the end their DMC slots were full wtf. So we decided to sign up at the CASS camp's booth instead.

Bu thank God that happened! Met the awesome bomb Sluts (Rad, Beatrice, Farhan, Asaph, Daryl!!) and made many new friends. I think camps are very good, helps get you some friends so you won't be a loner on FOP. After afew days, we got to know our class and found out that I was in DMC 05 along with Ben, Nic, Rad. I remember things were quite awkward during FOP. There were so many new faces around and I didn't have the guts to approach anyone except those 3 who went to CASS camp. :S

The next day was flag day and I managed to talk to some of my classmates during our breakfast in Macs. Till this day I can remember Ben saying "this Fiona is also another bitch!!!!" and Lina looking at me and saying, "then I guess I better not step on your tail then." Lina you are fucking scary please!!!!! The way you looked at me! I thought you totally won't be my friend. HAHA.'

In the end I paired up with Lina and Kai En and we were standing outside Shaw centre asking people to donate. Halfway through we all decided to give up and Verena, Lina, Esme and I decided to catch 17 again at Cineleisure. I think I collected less than $30, feel damn bad -_- We then headed back to school for money collection, and I think things got a bit awkward in the MRT *ahem* Shall move on...

During semester 1, I HATED my poly life. I thought my classmates sucked because they were all so clique-y and everyone were losers who went home directly after school. -_- I would go to NP everyday to find Keefe, Soon Eng and Hui Min. In a way, I felt miserable because everyone seem to hit off so well with their new poly classmates. I seemed to be the only one struggling to make new friends. Sigh. This continued on till our class chalet during our sem break! Which was probably the best thing that happened. I felt that we really bonded, sharing some of our dark secrets with each other.

The other thing which I'm really proud of is becoming a model for my school events and magazines. That is something I wouldn't have dream of. I'm not the school belle, in fact I'm the opposite - the school's belle ugly friend. Having this opportunity in SP really boost up my confidence. But I still look like a nerd in school, can't be bothered dressing up really. No time, and no money. :( Since things have calmed down in the family, I hope things can start picking up again. Now to Sem 2.

Semester 2 started off great, but it had its ups and downs.

I became closer with Ben and Nic, who are 2 awesome guys! Unfortunately, my GEMS class got screwed up. I was suppose to be with Dhea at T17 level 4 class, I ended up panicking and choosing the level 5 class instead. And I blogged "I really hope the quote "everything happens for a reason" is true, if not I can cry like mad." Well to a certain extent, it did came true. I met a "hot guy" in my GEMS for like the first time in my poly life. I remember being so excited, telling Lina "Omg that's him! I think he's name is Samuel Kok!" So during one day when I pointed her to him, she told me his actual name was Sean. HAHAHA funny shit. How could the names be so far apart? We went out, and I really did like him... but we just didn't get together in the end.

Since I'm along the same topic. I will mention that I've also made up with Aloysius this year. Aloysius was a fucker who broke my heart and I forgive him for what he did but I won't forget. Duh. He helped me alot with the DVPA projects really. We re-did our script and filming like thousand of times before settling on a final piece. I remember DVPA was one fucked up module _|_ Actually all my modules were pretty shitty. I was pretty sure my GPA would be like 2.3. I could totally picture not going to university and being a waitress all of my life earning less than 2k a month. Yes, that dramatic.

There was the period of time I think I had depression. I felt that my life was the most fucked up and shittiest ever. I felt like I was losing everything I once had. Which I did. I was crying every other day, coming to school with puffy eyes. I guess I'm better now that everything is over, and things are somewhat settled. Time does heal everything, but how long it'll take nobody knows.

I shall come to an arrupt ending because school is starting tomorrow, and I really should be sleeping. But one thing's for sure, Year 2 will be different. I swear on that.

S.O.S
