My Cotton Candy World

Life is good!

2011-08-15T00:43:00.007+08:00

My previous post were pretty sad but it is interesting how things can change in a short one month. I feel happy somehow for the past 2 weeks or so...I can't exactly point out what it is but suddenly I feel contented with my life.

I have started exercising on a regularly basis since March and I'm quite surprised that I'm actually disciplined enough to maintain it for the past 5 months! If you know me back in school, I am not the kind of athlete that will be discipline enough to do my own workout, especially after a full day's work. During this period, I can see myself slowly gaining my fitness back and getting more toned body. But apart from these tangible effects, I find myself handling stress better and start getting my long lost lame-to-the-core humor back (I think this is because my mind is more alert and quick).

Somehow I feel like I've been able to spend some time with different groups of friends and I really enjoy their companies. I didnt realise that there are so many interesting people around me and it is really fun hanging out with them. Although I can't say I have like one group of close friends, after Nicole left, I didnt think it is possible to find anyone else already. I don't need anyone to take Nicole's place also but it is really nice to have great company and to know that they do enjoy my company too. I've been keeping in touch with my friends more via Facebook and it's really nice to be able to keep myself updated on what's up with my friends even though we are unable to meet up.

In June-July, I was extremely unhappy at work. There was alot of negativity surrounding me when it comes to work. But little did I know that just a short getaway once in a while does wonders to the mind. And slowly I start to see that actually my work allows me alot of flexibility, although it doesnt seem like much prospects but whatever high position and high salary you get, you are really exchanging a larger part of your life for it. I'm not saying we shouldn't work hard, you should but you need to know how much of your life you want to give it for work. Comparing to some of my peers, they might be getting a higher more glamorous work but there are sacrifices they have to make. So now I'm actually starting to appreciate the nature of my work and how my job allows me to do other things outside my work.

Then when I think about my life, seriously there isn't anything that I need to worry about. My love ones are healthy and happy, I got a place to stay and I dun have to worry about the huge bank loan, I have free transport to work and back home everyday (so I can do my workout after work!!), I can go for holiday when i want to....what more can I ask for right?

I'm fortunate and I am thankful for it.

我们的周末

2011-07-09T10:00:00.004+08:00

突然想起几个月前刚搬进新家时
你跟我说你周末要回家住
你说周末是你的家庭时间
我觉得自己的脸好像被赏了一个耳光
我这才愕然的发现原来我们并没有我想象的亲密

可能就是打从那时开始
我就告诉自己要更独立，不能指望靠谁

一个独立的人，同时也可以是一个热情的人吗？
独立跟热不热情好像是两马事
可是仔细想想，一个独立的人不介意独处
喜欢自己一个人的可能性高
这样性格的人就是属于冷漠型的

冷漠不是不爱说话，他还是可以和朋友有说有笑
可是他是被动的
他不会主动去找朋友聊天
这种性格的人正需要一个主动（就是所谓热情的人了）的伴侣

照我以上的分析，我们可能就是因为各自属于不同类型的人而在一起的
不过这个离题了，所以我就不继续细说下去了

就这样我们的周末就有一天，我们各自回到父母的家住
刚开始，我要是很老实的说的话，我很介意这个安排
觉得你不想跟我多花点时间在一起
我没跟别人说实话，我说这是我们俩要的
我想要是我一直这样说，假的也会变成真的。。。
时间证明我这个想法是对的

现在的我是真的很满意这个安排
而且在每一个星期里，这天是我最放松，最享受的一段时间
我仿佛回到了以前
可以放心的做自己
不想着工作，不想着你我
这是一个微妙的乐趣

你是不是也因为向往这样的乐趣而提出这样的安排？
我不知道，也觉得没必要知道

可是我也觉得就是因为当初被这个安排伤到了
想要更独立的我无意的克制自己的热情
觉得自己好像变了

这个就是两个人住在一起需要慢慢适应与改变的一个例子吧

杂乱的心情

2011-07-07T09:56:00.002+08:00

你看着我说你不喜欢吵架
我的心顿时软了

我投进你的怀里
我们好像很久没有这样拥抱

这可能是个新的开始吗？
之前大大小小的不满能放开吗？

我能放纵自己
让自己盼望着被你疼惜，被你爱护吗？
还是因该理智的有所保留呢？

毕竟没有盼望，何来的失望。。。

可爱女人的秘密

2011-07-07T00:44:00.010+08:00

要被疼的女人才会可爱

男人觉得自己很疼女人，可是女人一点都不觉得被疼

是女人贪心吗？
是女人麻烦吗？
是女人不讲理吗？

结婚前的你给的是100个心，可是你没跟我说这个只是暂时性的
男人很贼，他给你的心慢慢的慢慢的减少
突然，你发现他给你的少了很多
你问为什么，他反过来说是你自己要求过高

他给的渐渐的少了
你也渐渐的不可爱了
你说他不像以前爱你了，他说你也不像以前那样可爱了

女人可爱是因为有男人给她需要的营养
女人就好像骆驼一样，只要一点水可以走很远的路
可是时不时还是需要补充一下

其实女人只是要你用她的方式来疼她

以前你每天等我把头发吹干才去睡觉，现在你怪我晚上迟睡害得你睡不好
当我觉得委屈时，我只能默默在心里哭泣，把委屈往心底藏
表面上的冷漠与坚强是我唯一能保护自己的方法

Unique?

2011-07-05T08:54:00.004+08:00

I read a book "The Unique Woman" by Edwin Louis Cole & his wife Nancy quite a few years back. There was alot encouragement and revelation that I got from it but over the years, I forgot what it was all about.

I still have the book; very well kept and nicely wrapped.

Once in a while the title of this book will pop into my mind and I will make a mental note to read it again. So this morning I finally took out the book and brought it with me to work. I scanned through a few pages and read a couple of sentences highlighted by me last time.

Then I thought to myself, is it wrong or too much for a woman to ask for to want to be unique. Maybe not unique to everyone but at least to her partner? I realized that throughout my dating history, I always wanted to be the one special person to my boyfriend. To the guy, it seems that this is a way to feed my ego and sometimes that interpretation has also gotten into me. And I will feel bad about wanting to be unique.

I asked a certain special someone about how special I am to him and maybe, he was fed up by this continuous need of mine to want to be unique and his answer was "My heart can only fit one woman at one time". This was the final answer I got and I stop asking.

Does this answer satisfy my longing to be the special one to him?

No. In fact it was worst...so basically every woman he has been with previously was just as special and unique as me. It totally negates the whole point of my intention of asking this question.

So why I stop asking him?

Because he can never give me what I hope to get out of him.

However, as time goes by, the need to want to be unique has gotten the better out of me so I started asking him again. And this time his answer was "I marry you, isn't that enough to prove that you are special to me?"

Now.... On the surface this answer seems to be all a woman can ask for but somehow it feels that something is missing...

Or am I just being greedy?

I think I'm being angry with him secretly, I don't show it to him, I don't tell him.
My friend say why don't I tell him what I am unhappy about?
If I do show him and do tell him, he will say I'm being petty and unreasonable. And that do not make me feel any better than not feeling unique.

Recently I was yet hurt again by him unintentionally.

When I spell out things that I love him for, I chose those because it was unique to me. But one after another one, I realize those little things aren't unique to me anymore. There goes my small little list of desperate attempt to be unique to him.

It's only a matter of time that the list will be exhausted.

General Election 2011

2011-04-29T12:40:00.003+08:00

Prior to the GE, I would say I'm rather apathetic about Singapore's politics. But with the intense media coverage (most probably due increase in quality and quantity of the opposition) of this year's GE, it is difficult not to pay attention to it.

I believe one of the reason why I am concern with this year's GE is also because I can relate to some of the points brought up by the opposition. In the past, I have accepted that whatever Singapore government do, it must be for the best.

I thought I should take some time to listen to both sides before I make my final decision.

First post for 2011

2011-01-01T01:15:00.003+08:00

So what's my day like on the last day of 2010?

Nothing fancy.... anyway I also don't expect much because what's there to expect?

No expectation, no disappointment
No disappointment, no unhappiness
(I'm not unhappy now, just mildly buay song)

I don't think I'm a person of high expectations (of others) but sometimes I think because of this I get stepped all over. If my presence is not appreciated, I won't hang around and feel like I'm worth nothing.

I do not need to be pleased, I just dun want to be pissed.

Dont expect much from anyone because man (as in literally the man) will fail you.

Turtle must fight!

2010-12-19T10:55:00.002+08:00

The last few days has been a horrible time for me....

My turtle fell very sick (because I didnt put alot of time on him lately), my shipment was stuck at custom and I have tons of work piling up. It was suppose to be a restful time for me because I had to clear 3 days of leave but I think those 3 days are probably the "stress-est" days for this year -_-"

Turtle has been sick for a while, not wanting to eat and all. I tend to him daily and change water every other day and he became active again but still not eating. Then he fell really ill because when I try to change water, he didn't even want to be in water. I was devastated and didn't know what to do! It was Monday and I thought turtle wouldn't pull through Tuesday. Luckily a friend told me about an aquatic vet at Jalan Kayu so I rush down after work to bring turtle there. Turtle was given some antiseptic for some red rashes and wound and 2 injections. The vet say he is very skinny too. Then she prescribe medication for turtle for a week and to bring turtle back a week after.

Turtle was given antiseptic medication to apply everyday and also antibiotics and vitamins which have to be administrated via injection!! Gosh, I'm so scare of needles myself and I have to give injection to turtle! It was so scary and the first injection was so horrible. I didnt poke the needle deep enough and I try to push the needle in but it wont go in. Not knowing what to do, I just push the syringe in. I think my hands were shaking throughout the time. Then I saw that the injection gave turtle a lump. This is probably because the needle wasn't deep enough and the medication was not injected in his muscles (it's an intramuscular injection). I panic and called the clinic and I couldn't make myself clear because I was so upset. The person tell me it's alright and try to calm me down.

I was close to tear and I felt so guilty to have put turtle through this. As the time for the 2nd injection for the day drew closer, I was getting all nervous again. So I did abit of googling hoping to find some information on giving injections. I tried using a needle to poke on a cushion to practice and to psych myself up for it. Finally I tried it the 2nd time and the needle went in deep in one motion, I was so relieved. But the next few days I still have some misses on the injection but I know if it's not deep enough I have to pull it out. Poor turtle, his butt must be covered with tiny needle marks now (2 to 3 jabs a day for 5 days).

But he made some progression. He is now in water with a heater and he seem to be more responsive to his surroundings. But he has yet to start eating again. I pray he will get well soon so that he can move over to my new place and Ah Seng can also help take care of him.

This is turtle 5 years ago... He is now much bigger
Pray that he will get well soon...he still have a long way to go with me

Friends

2010-12-10T11:40:00.008+08:00

You cannot choose your family but you can choose your friends.

Lately I'm beginning to think who are my real friends?
What qualify someone as a real friend (to me)?

I think everyone has their own definition of what real friends are and subconsciously we will compare the people around us with this definition and determine who are the real friends.

I wonder if it is because I had the one Best friend before and subconsciously she became the "friendship yardstick". If that's really the case, am I being unfair to compare them with her?

Instead of going on and on about this in my head, I shall pen it down what is bothering me and hopefully leave it here.

I hate it when someone make plans with me and then call it off last min because she has some other (better) plans or just decided she is too lazy to come out. Once or twice is fine but if you do it often, it is not acceptable. I'm not a back-up plan.

I hate people who tell white lies perpetually and cannot keep the promises they make. Honesty in friendship is important.

I hate it when people sweet talk you and tell you how important you are to them. Action speaks louder than words. I've been stupid to believe these words all these time. Don't say I'm your closest friend and I'm the only person you can confide in when the very next day you've told the same thing to half a dozen other people.

I hate it when people expect you to inconvenient yourself even though I'm already extending them a favor. I bloody hate to walk out to pass people things I help them buy. I try to make plans out of the way for me to make things easy for them. It is not acceptable to be late twice in a day and expect me to ditch my dinner plans and go to them. A 'Sorry' SMS is NOT ENOUGH! Don't expect me to help again when you didn't even realize why I'm so angry.

I hate it when people call you super late at night or super early in the morning. If it's not important, you can leave it to a more "human" time to call.

I hate it when people expect pressies from me but didn't think of giving back and hands you recycled gifts. It's a give and take relationship. I can be generous but I'm not here to be taken advantage of. Friends just don't do that.

If I'm not talking to you, it probably mean I am re-thinking our friendship.

My last "single" night

2010-10-21T20:59:00.007+08:00

I'm getting married tomorrow, so from tomorrow onwards, I will be known as "Mrs Seng"...... hmmm.... on second thought, maybe not.....

Our relationship officially started on 22 May 2007 and after 3 years and 5 months of dating, we are tying the knot on the 22 Oct 2010.

So why is Ah Seng the one for me?

1) He cares alot for me (always nag at me to go shower, eat and sleep)
2) We share the same lame sense of humor (Both love Stephen Chow)
3) He is a very smart guy (of course, if not why he fell for me in the first place LOL)
4) He bathes my stuff toys
5) He is there for me whenever I need someone
6) He is a nerd that rides a bike
7) He makes me laugh (Very very important)
8) He usually let me have my ways (without spoiling me)
9) He says "take your time" when I'm running late
10) He is simply Seng-sational *BTW I coined that word one hor*

Here's to our 3 years of dating....

Ah Seng waits for me every morning to go work together

Oooh, I even have a comic Strip!!

嗨，我是Ah Seng

呃，好像有声音...

奇怪,怎么没人...

哇哇哇!! 原来在我后面...

hahaha......

Ah Seng!! 明天我要嫁给你啦!!

Happy No Enough

2010-10-04T19:11:00.002+08:00

My eyes are hurting from staring at the computer screen for the whole day but here I am staring at the small netbook screen typing this.

I'm so tired today and I had a really bad day at work.
I think the worst thing is when you have to rush something out quickly, there's always something/someone holding you back (I fantasize throwing durians at these ppl!!).

Now back home, I can't seem to find something to do that will make me feel better. I think about what's happening in my life and I realise I'm not excited about anything.

I'm getting the keys to my house tomorrow and I'm getting ROM this month but to me these involve alot of work!! I don't see anything enjoyable about these events and I think I'm beginning to resent it.

I just feel I have absolutely nothing to look forward to....

Does this sound suicidal?

I'm quite sure I'm not.

Maybe I just used up all my excite-ed airtime when I'm younger so this is what I become...

Sometimes I just want to be special....

2010-09-05T02:00:00.003+08:00

You think you know someone but later found out you may not really know the person as well as you thought you did.

Perhaps the other side of him you found out isn't something bad but somehow the realization of another side that you never knew made you feel a little "cheated".
Perhaps I'm deluded and came to a conclusion that I wanted, that's why I'm a little upset when I found out that I'm wrong. It's not the person's fault but why do I feel a little resentful towards him?

He never told me I'm special before and I made myself sound like I'm special to him and I believed it. Now I'm starting to doubt if I'm really that special to him.

Is it an illness to need to feel special to someone?
Is it wrong to want to be the most special person to someone?

Why do I get blamed for wanting to feel special?

Okie this is where I end my little indulging-time to feel sad...
Life goes on...

I will not die if no one makes me feel special.

Insights I hope I will remember

2010-09-02T23:41:00.002+08:00

My colleagues and I was on a course on "Stress Management". The reason why we chose this course was mainly the dates were suitable for us and it falls under the right category of training tat we needed. I didnt expect to gain much out of it because I personally think I'm not a very stress-ed person.

Perhaps God wanted to "prepare" me for the course so I had an extremely stressful morning. First I didnt sleep enough, I had to wake up earlier because I needed to clear my harddisk to get some files from Mable. But there was just too much file to transfer and after much struggle, I still didnt manage to clear the harddisk =(
Then I had a tummy ache so I left the house like 20mins later than I had planned to. But the worst has got to be the train journey. I've been very pampered because Ah Seng sends me to work everyday but even if I had to take train to work, it's on the non-crowded direction so I dun have to squeeze myself into the train. Today I had to travel opposite direction and it was HORRIBLE!!!! Goodness, I know alot of ppl complain about the crazy crowd in the morning but I didnt think that much of it until this morning. Anyway by the time I reached the coffee shop, I was all sweaty and was told I have only 10mins to eat my breakfast *sobz*

So during the course, the facilitator actually told write down what kind of stress we are facing and to share with out neighbours and everyone shared alittle. I realise people of all ages experience different stress. Some shared they are actually stressed about retirement. It could be because they worry they do not have enough money for retirement etc. For me I think I'm stressed because I have to do alot of things all at one go and I'm spreading myself thin that I don't feel I'm accomplishing anything.
Later the facilitator also shared about the symptoms of stress etc and there was alot of sharing on stories of people he knew.

I didnt think alot into all these until I met Mable for dinner.

I was sharing casually on what I learnt and suddenly it stuck me that actually my Mum can be very stressed.

Okie, just some background on my Mum. I've never really publicly shared this but my mum is actually one of the greatest source of stress for me. First I would like to say tat my Mum is a responsible mum who cooks, cleans and do all the necessary things for the household. But she is a very negative and unhappy person.
She is always complaining about how unfair was being treated by my dad's side relatives, how people are all selfish, how she is taken granted for, how miserable her life is. She is always grumbling and whining about everything and I just dont want to hear all these things. So I always shut myself in my room when I'm home and my door is the safety barrier from her. I love my mum but I feel that because of she is always so angry with everyone and everything, it stops me from wanting to
communicate with her regularly.

Having said these, I suddenly realise that what my mum said is a sign of stress.

First, she is always insecure of how little money she has and feel that she has to save very hard for old age. To me, all I hear is about money money money and it sorta turns me off. But I realise it is not about the money, she is worry about having no one to take care of her when she old and does not have the mean to provide for herself.
Now that I've recognize that, I want to make it a point to assure her that me and my bro will definitely take care of her because it is our duty to do so.

Then she complain about all the bad things that happen to her and how everyone makes her feel unhappy. I always scold her for telling me all these old stories and tell her to stop telling me all these things, I'm so sick of hearing the same thing over and over again. Instead of responding negatively to her complains, I should make her focus on the blessings she has instead. I think all of us need to be reminded of what we have and taken it for granted.

She always feel that she is being taken for granted for the things she do for the family. To be honest, I am guilty of taking my mum's work for granted. So how should I make it up to her? My solution: to wash plates whenever I see then in the sink and leave her a note to say I understand these housework are a chore and I shoudn't have taken it for granted. Hopefully tat will show some appreciation la.

Wish me luck implementing those things I've came up with =D

Oh ya, I'm so happy I manage to picked up the Strawberry Body Butter from the bodyshop sale!!

My Loot!! Paid like $40plus abit for all these!!!

My Bday pressie from Mable!!!

500G harddisk, I was just contemplating buying one during comex lor...
Hehe....so blessed right...

OKie need to sleep already, tomorrow another day of "stress management" course.

Peace Out

Haruki Murakami is one of Ah Seng's favourite author, so I wanted to read for myself and see what's the "fuss" all about. Initially Ah Seng lent me the short "stories" and I remember reading one or two stories and I think what strikes me most is the simplicity of the subject matter. It's something so common that happens around us that we usually do not give it a second thought. But when you read it, you think "hey, I know what's he is talking about..."

But just like most of the books I read...I usually read only halfway... (haha)

So my new quest is Murakami's "What I Talk about When I Talk about Running".
I thought this book would be an interesting read since I think I do qualify as a "runner" having spent most of my school days training and competing in running events. I'm just a couple of pages into it and all I have to say "so far so good".

Oh just want to do abit of the "blogging-on-my-mundane-life-events-which-usually-includes-some-random-meaningless-photos"....

My new toy!!
Fuji Instanx Mini7S
I love instant photos!! Uselessly small but it's cool because it's INSTANT

My Polar Heart Rate monitor that I bought during Sundown Marathon's roadshow
Been contemplating to get one for a long time...
I think I need something to inject some fun to my runs
Maybe I will write more about it when I learn how to use it

Oh ya, my first Sundown Marathon!!
Yay!! I did it again!!
But their organization for this event is probably the worst I had to go through!
The only redeeming point is it's Sun Down...no sun
I want to join standard chartered but they close the early bird on it's last day!!
Dammit!! I have to pay $75 now argh

But I think doing 2 marathons in a year is something new I can achieve for 2010!!

Bring it on!!!

Well, I was clearing my drawer (like I always am) and I came across this little piggy bookmark with the following words:

知己

朋友无需多
能让你珍惜的
即使是一位
也是幸福的

When I was younger, friends are very important to me. My life revolves around friends then it became boyfriend and myself. Does people in general grew to be more selfish as we start to grow up?

Looking back at the friendship I had and is still having.... it's amazing how many people has cross path with me. People I met in school, in church, in sports, at work and even online. Once in a while, I take time to go through my old photos, reminiscing the good times I've share with these people.

But she's always the one who will pop into my mind and talking about what we've done will almost always bring tears to my eyes. Knowing her make me a 幸福 person as our friendship is definitely one I will treasure and always hold dear to my heart.

It is true that life goes on without you but I think my life changed the moment you left.
Watching shows with good friends being there to comfort each other and having fun together always make sad and jealous =(

And now I have to grow old and grow fat by myself -_-"

My new running shoes!

2010-05-16T10:29:00.002+08:00

3 year back, I was wondering if I should get my orange DS trainer 11 or the newer & uglier DS trainer 12.... Read here

Let's just say that the orange one is no longer as "bright" as it used to be now...
Time to get a new pair of shoes...

If you find a shoe model that fits you, You should ALWAYS get it back.. I'm extremely please with DS trainer because it fits my slightly high arch and it's like a cross a trainer and racer. It has great cushioning but not as bulky as those heavy-duty trainer ones.

Went to queensway shopping center yesterday (it's like ages since I went there!!) with Marcus and Zhonghan. I knew I'm going to get a DS trainer but when I was there I was presented with 2 versions of DS trainers again!!

DS trainer 14
It has green with white, red with black and pink with black
The colors with black is really not my type -_-"

DS Trainer 15 in only this color

If you realize, the 2 pairs have hardly any difference. The sole is almost similar too!! but the cheapest I found is $130 for DS trainer 14 (the green one) and $175 for DS Trainer 15 (the pink one). Kinda hard to make the decision....

Finally I decided to settled for DS trainer 15 since I know I buy shoes like once every 2 yrs only...haha I think I seriously need to clock more mileage!!

Oh, my breakfast is here!! Shall end here abruptly as I always do...

Tata

PS/ I'm hunting for a flat now, more abt that later!!

Ranting about nothing

2010-04-13T18:37:00.002+08:00

I don't if what I'm feeling now is call "loneliness"...

Wikipedia says:
"Loneliness is a feeling in which people experience a strong sense of emptiness and solitude."

Hmph... what exactly is sense of emptiness?
Feeling that you have nothing to look forward to or that nothing stirs your emotions (in a gd way of course)?

Well, I do have things that I'm looking forward to, like my next holiday, my next crazy shopping spree and of course movies like Iron Man 2 and Ip Man 2 *LOL*

I think what I'm feeling is that sometimes I feel like I have no one to talk to. I spend alot alot alot ALLLOTTTTT of time online but even though your MSN contact list can be very long, do you feel that there's no one in particular that you want to start a chat with? Or am I just that unfriendly?? hmph.....

Or perhaps all these I'm feeling is just part and parcel of an adult's life...
Anyway just wanted to "rant" abit here.....

And yes!!!

WHAT'S WITH SINGAPORE'S WEATHER!!!!!!

it's raining and yet it's sosososososososos HOT

*Faintz*

2010-03-29T15:57:00.003+08:00

haha... okie the title of this post is super random *bleah*

However, if I can have a 超人 power, I want to be a supernatural sense of indifference towards things at work. I think my skin become so bad because of the "buay song-ness" that comes from work. *tears*

Anyway, one of the resolution this year is for me to tame my temper abit at work *LOL*

So to help me achieve this goal, I've penned a 13字真经！

Check it out here...

Directions: Repeat until you feel the "inner peace" again
& Pardon my ugly handwriting

Okie to make my post title a little more relevant...

Here's picture I found online
which is also now my MSN display picture!!

2010-02-23T18:49:00.005+08:00

Do you know that spiral staircase can be dangerous?

You want proof?
Here's it!!!

*sighhhh*

Fell off the spiral staircase at work -_-"
I think it's probably the most serious sprain I had so far. Usually for sprain, you will ice it and just rest and then you wait....and then you wait somemore.....yes wait.....
But I had to do something about it because I have to go Beijing this coming sunday!!!

Haizz, bai ka and still have to go overseas.

Kaibin they all bought me to this sinseh at Yishun... first time going to a sinseh.
He twisted my ankle around abit and like "push" something back in place and say ok. I was quite surprise that it was relatively painful....but I was wrong -_-"
He started rubbing the areas around my ankle and I had to covered my mouth to stop myself from screaming.

After treatment......

Tadah!!!

This is taken one day after the accident, less swollen already but you can see my feet is quite swollen at the surrounding area. Also, not that my ankle is dirty, the medicine stained my skin abit la!

Had to go back a few more times for treatment and hopefully it'll recover by sunday la.
I want to go shop de le.....

hahaha.... so many pictures of my feet hor...

Okie something "cleaner" and happier....
Ah seng got me a Vday pressie!!

Ipod Touch!!!

Yes yes, I know everyone is using Iphone....but hor we check liao, Ipod is $588 lor...and my HP quite new le.... plus E71 is actually a very good phone...Plus I got the PRETTIEST color of them all...

E71 in Black Steel

Anyway why owe one when you can have two wahahahaha...

Check out my Little "blood" bag + stitch strap.....cutez right

Recently met up with a few sec sch friend, Mable, Qiuxia and Ting Jun.
Mable and were very close back then as we always go church and cell group together. But after JC, we started drifting apart especially when she moved from Bukit batok to punggol. As for Qiuxia, I think we were pretty close in lower secondary school, both of us were in the Track team but we sorta dun hang out anymore. I don't really know Ting Jun as I was never in the same class but I just knew who she was and all. Surprisingly, it was really an enjoyable gathering and we talked so much till like 11plus 12. Hahaha... I really hope that we can meet up more often =)

Sometimes I just feel a little lonely, I feel like I don't have that one good friend anymore. There's no one in particular I really want to just chat when I'm bored, upset or very happy. (alright, got Ah Seng but he's not a she, so he cannot bitch and gossip with me lah....)
I feel that I generally prefer a more personal friendship where it is like more "exclusive".
I don't think I can be really good friends (in my own definition) with people who has just too many other good friends. Am I weird?

But then again, Nicole has alot alot of good friends but she never make me feel like I'm just one of the other good friends, I think she makes everyone feels so too. She don't have to tell me that but she's just there whenever I need someone.

I think it's easier to make friends when you're still schooling and all. When you grow up, everyone is busy with their own life (even if it is rotting at home and doing nothing, it is a legitimate "to-do" things for working adults okie!). Me included....it's just hard to find exciting things to do in Singapore anyway.. LOL

Yea, perhaps the newly open Casino is the most exciting things at the moment but seriously, I do not have the slightest interest in it -_-"
I was, however, quite excited when I heard there's going to be a Victoria's Secret shop at Sentosa but before I could even make my way there... I already heard that it's going to be a wasted trip... so I decided to use my time more wisely (which means lazing at home and shopping online!!)

Hehehe... yes I'm a "online-shoplic" (OSC which only means One Shop Center, WAHAHAHA)

Oh right, shall share some of my recent loots =D

Victoria' Secret Canvas Tote

Marc Jacob's Canvas Tote

Agnes b Little Canvas Tote!!

Hahaha, of course I buy more than just Canvas totes...

In fact these are one of my best loots recently!!!

3 Pairs of boots!!!!
And I paid less than $60 SGD for all 3!!!!

This is what I call POWER Onlineshoplic....HOHOHOHOHO

A Sunday Note of Randomness....

2010-01-24T17:02:00.004+08:00

Okie... time to keep up with my "resolutions"....

Mad busy period at work these few weeks. I have so much work to do that I think I'm suppose to work over the weekend but I'm like so in-need of some rotting time at the same time.

Signed up for Sundown Marathon and I am still not running regularly.... -_-"

Anyway, went to Science center with a couple of colleagues yesterday and went to IMM for some foodie and Daiso-shopping. Oooh, I love daiso but yesterday I didnt went crazy...

Got myself these:

2 Piggy PVC pouches.... Kawaii!!!

This is a stencil!!! I got smacked by them for buying this....
They say I 小孩子 -_-" and ask me buy this for what..... *bian zui*

Victoria's Secret is IN SINGAPORE!!!!

Today, Ah Seng was suppose to bring me go Sentosa to check out the Victoria's Secret store. But I heard people say it's damn small and sure to be a disappointment. Sooo.... I decided to go down to Kino to get my first copy of Sweet Jap magazine.... nah...now that I can read Jap...

It's all for the Black Cher Bag that comes with it..... *heehee*

I love the prints but the handles is really abit too short... -_-"

I am sooo going to collect all the other colors.... should I? hmmmm....maybe I should count the number of bags I have now.... got a couple more additions....

Oh yea, I also have this huge bruise on my thigh now...

It's about 6cm long....

I think I'm easily bruised and I'm also very very very chor lor....
I should start "documenting" all my bruises in this blog.... *bo liaoz-ing*

This is another bruise 4 months back...

I think I need to snack and take a nap....tomorrow's monday and back to work again
AAAGGGGRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH..............

2010...

2010-01-04T00:15:00.004+08:00

Happy New Year!!!

Actually I'm late already...tomorrow is the FIRST working day of of 2010...*depressing*

Oh well... I don't know why but I just feel that this is going to be an awesome year!!!

First I must set some new resolution:

1) Sleep More
2) Exercise regularly, going to do my sundown marathon, train and compete in lifesaving (hopefully)
3) Blog more too!!
4) To have a tidy room (wahahahahhaa...like real it'll happen but hey never stop wishin' for it, one day it may just come true...)

well I think the biggest achievement I had for 2009 is to finish my graduate diploma in Information Communication Technology... it's tough working and studying...
Especially during exams, I wish I hadn't taken the course up.

But after getting my results....it's worth =D

It's the best results I've ever gotten!!!
Well, it may not be like a super prestigious cert or what but I think it did encourage me to continue to further my education. I'm was thinking if I should take up masters next in 2010 but looking at my new job scope in 2010,it's going to be quite tough. Oh, I'm also very excited abt work too because I think my new RO is someone that I can learn things from. My prayers has been answered!!!

I can't say that 2009 is all good, in fact, I think in terms of work, it hasnt been very good. Had some unhappiness with some ppl at work, sometimes it's really because I'm just too stress juggling with work and studies that I get irritated quite easily >_< needa work on that area too.

Ahh, time to sleep....

Just before I go, some random pictures!!

Prepared these for colleagues during xmas.... I'm still a nice colleague to have =P

And my shopping loots from yesterday!!! Went shopping with Vanessa from 11am till like 9pm!!! GOSH!!!!!

Ok.... super abrupt but yea...going to sign off here...

oh oh oh....I'm addicted to SUDOKU now!!!!

It's good to know some things dun change right.

Totally out of point but I just love the bunny's attitude..

Shall go back and continue my fruitless attempt in revising...

Jenny is a closet "bimbo"

2009-09-26T15:44:00.002+08:00

Hahahaha, just a silly thought....
I love to shop but does that make me a bimbo??

Oooh.... anyway I've bought some new stuff online again!!!

I got all these for less than $150!!

I got 2 pairs of shoes, 3 Necklaces, 1 pair of jeans, 2 bags, 2 long cardi (that I'm dying for!!)

I'm a very smart shopper with super good buys (I'm always very busy shopping online and I forgot I own a shop too... needa get some work done there)
Might bring in some nice stuff soon to my shop.... shoes, bags and accessories??

My Mega Bitching Post

2009-06-12T23:13:00.006+08:00

Recently I've been getting tons of scam mails for your account password etc...

Really...
How stupid are these people who sent these email??

Today I've received yet another one....

Not only are they stupid... the English.. like OMG!! What the HECK is Hard Scam Protector?!!!

Anyway recently I've come to realise there's alot of very irritating people online. I've open a small website to just clear my room because it's so full of stuff I bought but never use/wear... alot of girls want to trade with me but if you go to their website, they hardly have any wearable/useable stuff. I don't put things that are worthless, imagine ppl wanting to trade my brand new Victoria's Secret top for some worn old Giordano plain tee.... you get the idea... -_-"

Then there's the El Cheapos.... MUST MUST bargain one... I bought something for 70 bucks, used only like 3 times, like brand new condition... I'm selling for $30 and she ask for $20
You say cannot, then such people will say very tight on cash blah blah...
If you are tight on cash, why the hell are you still shopping?

Sometimes I think I should just throw all these stuff I want to clear away rather than to deal with these people...

Of course I did meet a few nice girls... but it's like so rare...

then there's the forum... just yesterday. I've witness how mean and bitchy girls can get when they can't get what they want. There's this particular blogshop that sells exclusive clothes and everything can get snap up within 2 mins after they launch. Imagine like 800+ emails within 5mins. You need time to process right? Then there's this girl in the forum who didnt get invoice and she got so upset and starting saying very mean and rude things. Will you like die if you don't get the dress? The girls in the forum started bitching like it's the Capital B day. Starting calling some people in the forum spies or rats because obviously some people couldn't stand what they said and inform the blogshop owner.

Childish is an understatement for them....

I hope all these Cyber-Bitches get virus in their computer!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHA

TGIF

2009-05-29T22:07:00.003+08:00

It's finally the weekends again...
Lesson today is pretty good I think... I think most of the students manage to achieve objectives today (oh ya, I'm the facilitator, not the student hor...hahaa)

It's my 6th lesson with them and I really enjoy teaching this class. Most of them are quite serious but at the same time they are not uptight and knows how to have fun when it's time to.

As this is the first time I'm taking data communication class, I feel that I'm learning as well along the way. I've been taking chemistry classes and although I'm more familiar with chemistry, I think it is refreshing to take another subject that is totally different.

Anyway, I went to catch Terminator Salvation today...

I think it'll probably 4 popcorns out of 5 from me....hehe
Although I'm also quite confused regarding the plot but I think the action scenes were great!

Oh yea, this woman sitting beside me, kept sms-ing and even call someone like during the movie lor!! the light from her HP is really irritating especially when you're watching the action scenes.... I felt like smacking her face suddenly and then tell her... "not me... terminator did it you.... because you're so rude to sms when he's putting up such a great show" *bleah*

Big TSK TSK for her...*take out the shame-on-you banner*

Terminator salvation is basically war between the machines and the human race...
Then I had a thought when I was on my way home....
If terminator and transformer were to fight, who will win??

I think transformer will win!!!

Why? Cause terminator is like alien while transformer is like predator. And between alien and predator, definitely predator will win right since he's got something call brain. haa

Okie, time to go shower and hopefully sleep... going for picnic tomorrow!!
Ciao

Oh wait...I just recall there's this video I saw in my Uni days about terminator...
DARN funny!!!

Of my results...

2009-05-28T01:23:00.004+08:00

OMG OMG my results are out!!!
I like so long never had such feeling already....

Was quite please with the results actually

Boyfriend say result good then can haolian in blog liao....*bleah*
I not haolian k, I'm just overwhelmed and hence my feelings overflow...

I like NEVER had a A+ before le!!!! Yea, I enjoyed my Data Comm module the most too!!
But I was quite surprised about my software engineering paper and my C programming. I though my C programming paper will be better than my software engineering paper.

When I look at the software engineering past year paper I was like.... wah, am I suppose to know all these? Even if it's an open book, I also cant answer the questions le (it's close book by the way).. When I'm studying for this paper, I was whining and whining and thought why don't I just kill myself. Well, I did spent too much time on this paper's revision that I actually didnt had time to finish all my programming notes.

Anyway... I think it's good enough for me la...
Motivated already for my next semester's module!!

One more sem and I'm DONE!!!! Woohooo....

It's a miracle I'm blogging two days in a row!!!

2009-05-20T00:00:00.003+08:00

No exercise today because, believe it or not, resting is just as important as training!! So today since Ah Seng is finally out at night, we went for a movie....

Angels and Demons

Read this book quite some time back and I thought it's pretty exciting. Some people tell me that Angels & Demons is better than Da Vinci Code.... well, I think they are both quite nice. After watching Da Vinci Code, I was quite exciting to know that they are making a movie for Angels and Demons as well.

Actually it's good that I've read this book long time ago so I only roughly remember the plot and at the same time help me understand the background of the movie slightly more to enjoy it. Well, apparently the rating for this movie wasn't fantastic but it was all bad. Worth the time I suppose.

Cool hur this...
I wonder it this is possible for name
*自恋-ing*

Oh ya, the long awaited Victoria's Secret Mid Annual sale is here!!!

But nothing to be excited about.... the deals aren't good enough to entice me to go on a crazy VS shopping spree.... Booooo.....

Ahhh, very very hungry liao.... it's Mi-Lo time!!

Exams over and time for some lil updates

2009-05-18T23:20:00.006+08:00

This is my 书童 cleber bear
Exams over for 2 almost weeks already and it seems that my results will only be released at the end of May. Really wonder how I'll do... I like really really studied le... I seriously don't remember being so hardworking back in my uni days...

Talk about exams hur...
I think my Object Oriented Programming paper hor first question is trick question liao...tsk tsk
Somemore in the morning, poeople just wake up, the brain havent warm up already give trick question....*shake head*

Anyway, just hope that my results are "pretty" enough for me to announce it to the whole world here (ya like people actually read this blog -_-")

So because of my part time course in NTU, I totally stop exercising for half a year and I think I didnt swim for 1 year already. Well, when you're young, you can afford not to exercise but when you're tipping towards the wrong side of 20s.... Danger!!

I decided to start getting back in shape and hence I started jogging about 3 weeks back. I did a 5km and GOSH!! it's like the hardest 5km ever... but I survived it. I did a couple more 5km runs and last week wed I went swimming with Vanessa. Okie, I thought I'll do a total of 20 laps, was thinking of breaking it down to 10 continuous lap of 2 sets but Noooo.... I cant even do much freestyle. I felt as if my arms had "stone-ified" and it was so painful to swim!!! EVERYWHERE was aching when I was struggling in the water.

But I think the swim did push me hard cuz 2 days later I actually felt good and did a one hour jog!! After that on Sunday, I went swimming again! I told myself I must do 10 continuously lap and to clock a total of 30laps for the whole workout.
It turns out that I was able to do 30 continuous laps!!! Quite happy that my fitness is picking up again....

But seriously I hope when my semester start I can still find time to exercise.

Oh yea, I also started a blogshop for my Decluttering Project....

Before I end this post...

Today during work, one female staff misplace her breast pump... and she actually emailed like the entire organization to ask if anyone took it/seen it....
-_-" who want your breast pump la... er xin *bleah* hahahahaha

Seriously I think programming is like the best puzzle that keeps you occupied.

I was wondering how does people do all those auto tagging on cbox because I see someone selling "tagging" services and one even selling software that offers to tag 1000 blogs at one click.

I know it can be done... so a project begins

Took quite some trial and error to finally get the right coding and I'm working on expanding the database now...

I'm excited abt my next semester's module!! I'm going to do Java programming. First time learning but I think it's going to be fun.... ahahaha C++ was fun but it's not something I can use for my website (blogspot)

okie back to work!!!

This is freakin funny

2009-03-22T21:21:00.002+08:00

If this were my question...

This will be my answer now.....

Guy ask ger wear sexy dress...
Ger wore dress with tube inside...
Guy feel cheated....

My 1/2 done scrapbook & 1/4 done entry

2008-11-24T02:16:00.003+08:00

Havent been blogging much....
I'm one of those ppl who gets alot of ideas but because I use too much energy letting my mind wander (Hey, it's hard work okie.. >=|) and end up not putting in any of those ideas into action..

I belong to the do-half-sian-half species in the homosapien family.

I've actually wrote an entry for my Taiwan trip earlier this year (okie 1/4 only actually) but never publish it. It's really hard work to blog and I tend to give up when I get bored of it. So I left this particular entry untouch for like almost 6 months without continuing and abt a month earlier I decided to do virtual scrapebooking for my Taiwan trip (which was also 1/2 in my opinion).

Here's my scrapbook:

Here's my 6 month-old unfinished entry:

Initially I was just planning to go for a short trip to KL or somewhere nearby on a First Class coach during March BUT.... I couldnt get the couple seat I wanted even though I was checking the website everyday for them to release the bookings for March -_-"

So instead, my bf and I decided to go for a trip to Taiwan. I've actually wanted to go there last year but thought it's not really my budget yet. Once we've decided on the dates to go, I went to book our flights with Jetstar and bf went to look for hotels in Taipei. Armed with our flight and hotel bookings for the first two and last two days in Taipei, we're all set for our trip to Taiwan!!

We did not plan much (I never go for trips tat I didnt book all the accomodations beforehand but bf say he always go for holidays like this) but we did have a rough itinerary of where we want to visit.

Overview of our itinerary
It's a 9day-8night trip, so we planned to stay two days at 台北, two days at 花莲, two days at 墾丁and then back to 台北 for the last two days for me to SHOP!

Bf asked me to pack light since we are going to move around Taiwan. I swear I've packed the lightest I ever could but still my 30litre pack is filled up to the brim (okie okie... I've brought games I never play and books I never read plus one free rider, Ah siao, for the trip). Anyway, I met him at Jurong East MRT to take train down to Changi Airport together lor. Wah, his bag is like so empty one lor (but give me the credit, I brought all our toiletries cuz I dun trust a guy to pack for such things >=| hehehe), so he took some load off from my bag on our way to the airport.

The flight to Taiwan is 4 hours but it feels like eternity to me -_-" (even a two-hour flight to bangkok bores me to tears). We reached Taiwan at around 6plus and took a cab to our Hotel - 儷萊大飯店. The cab we took was really good, there's TV inside, car is new, it's fast and quiet, the cabby is wearing a suit too! Good things don't come cheap, the cab fare was 1200NT (around $55) which is not cheap considering it is a 30plus 40min ride.

Our hotel for first two days at Taipei
It was around 8plus when we got out of the hotel and went hunting for dinner. The famous ximending was within walking distance and while my bf was looking for a non-crowded place to have our meals, I was very distracted by all the shops there. Anyway, we found a small hawker-center-like place to have our meals. It was not bad and the price of the food is similar to Singapore.

Had a good time checking out the place but I think I need a map to navigate myself around the area. The first night in Taiwan, I found THE ONE snack that I love --- Honey Coated Strawberry...it's even better than the usual sugar coated strawberry I eat at home! It's interesting to see chinese words everywhere (my bf likes it that way I think)...They also have lotsa interesting names for their shop!! I saw one salon call 乱剪 (translate to singlish should be anyhow cut) and there's many more la. We walked till most of the shops close before heading back to the hotel.

I'm suppose to save all my shopping till the last 2 days but I bought this on my first night in Taiwan (hehehe....)

Re-Ment Miniature
My first Re-Ment Miniature set!!
I saw these miniatures online but couldnt find it in any Singapore Toy shops. This is quite an old edition so I guess it's hard to find so I MUST get it!! hahaha, I love that pig rice cooker (sadly it was not in the set I bought, I got the "secret" set instead =< , I will continue to look for this pig set!!) This set was 800NT which is around $37 and it's cheap as compared to those sold in singapore where one set typically cost around $50 to $55 for a set of 10. I've been waiting to go taiwan to buy the miniatures (I almost cave in a few times to buy these in Singapore before my trip!!)

So the itinerary for the next day is to visit 淡水 in the day and then go 士林夜市at night. We went to Danshui by their MRT, this is the first time we are travelling on Taipei Metro (台北捷运）.

Goes to everywhere I need to go in Taipei I think...
Not everyone uses a card for this Metro, those one way trip uses some plastic coins. When you enter, you place the coin near the sensor just like how you would with EZ-link card but when you are exiting, you drop the coin in the coin slot. Save us the hassle of going to the GTM (General Ticketing Machine) in Singapore to get our refund back. Something for SMRT to think about? *bleah*
My ticket to 淡水

Take a closer look

As you can see from the MRT map above, 淡水 is all the way at the end of the red line. It's a pretty crowded place and the weather is nice, around 16 to 18 degrees.

Lots of makan there and I found another Heavenly Invention "salted mushroom". So we just walk and buy snacks lor.

A Friend is One of the Best Things in Life

2008-10-19T18:28:00.003+08:00

"A Friend is One of the Best Things in Life"

Though we don't see each other very much
nor do we write to each other very much
nor do we phone each other very much

I always know that, at any time
I could call, write or see you
and everything would be exactly the same

You would understand everything I am saying
and everything I am thinking

Our friendship does not depend on being together
It is deeper than that

Our closeness is something inside of us
that is always there
Ready to be shared with each other
Whenever the needs arises

It is such a comfortable and warm feeling
To know that we have such a lifetime friendship

~Suasan Polis Schutz~

Thought of you when I read this, thought that this really reflect our friendship. During the last month, a couple of times, when I'm feeling hurt, I wish I could tell you all about it. There's also happy things that I wish I could share with you.

Life seems to be the same but yet it's so different...

I miss you, my friend

The famous dog & the not-so-famous singapore cats

2008-10-06T22:58:00.003+08:00

Went for the Hush Puppies Apparel sale on sunday with my brother. I think it's not bad, lots of polo tees, tees, undies, boxers from hush puppies and there's some Levis apparels too. Oh, there's also bedsheets and curtains.

My brother bought a berms for $22 and a curtain for $14.

I got 2 boxes of hush puppies panties (5 in a box) at $12/box, 1 checkered hush puppies female boxer $10, 1 pair of Levis white shorts $15 and 1 blue hush puppies polo tee for my ah seng $15.

*tsk tsk tsk* Keep spending sia.... cannot continue like this lor...

Anyway, all in all I think this sale is worth checking out ba, just in case you want to go, here the details...

Ah Seng bought me a cat pictorial book!

I had wanted this book for a long time when I first heard about it. But somehow I just didnt get to buying it... somehow... I cant remember why

So I think I mentioned to ah seng before and somehow (also) he went to buy this book for me. The book is published to help raise fund for the Cat Welfare Society. Inside there's photos of cats in the streets. Yes, they may not look as pretty or glam like the expensive cats but they are also unique in their own ways.

Quite a while back, I actually had wanted to go around taking photos of cats I see and compile into an album or what. But as always, I start with a thought and ends with it as well -_-"

Anyway, if anyone should decide to have a cat, pls pls go and adopt one instead of buying one. You can adopt either from SPCA or Cat Welfare Society.

Mu mu mu muuuack <3 ·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.❤

Squish a Boob, Save a Life

2008-10-05T01:10:00.010+08:00

Went for the Reebok Pink Ribbon Walk, organized by Breast Cancer Foundation and Reebok today. Supposed to meet Michell and Vanessa they all 4.30pm at Timbre @ Art House but my boi boi overslept.

But I was able to make it there at 5pm lor... felt so bad that my boi boi rush all the way down to send me there *big hugz for my sweet ah seng*

Took me quite a while to find the rest because it was like soo crowded la. And I accidently stepped into a group photo (with a very shocked expression) when the photographer was snapping. Everyone looked me... -_-" (so paiseh that I wish I can be invisible like this character from Heroes lor)

Anyway, it was quite a humid day or maybe it was just the crowd, started perspiring after walking for a while. There were quite some gentlemen talking part in the walk too... I thought it was really nice that they didnt mind walking around in a pink shirt.

My first walk event!!
I thought it really not bad to walk for a good cause and you get to catch up with your friends at the same time.

Vanessa and me!! someone very act cool hor...
So we were just chit chatting and snapping photos while walking and I saw something quite interesting...

Ooooh, sexy red lips
So when we finished the walk, there was a dance item led by

Billy Wang aka 东方比利

I've seen pictures of him before but I dun think I will describe him as handsome ba. But in person hor, he's tall and quite well-built and yes quite handsome too!!!

These are two of my fav "风景" pictures I took today...

Riverside Point
My fav picture for today
Oh ya, we also got free Swensen's ice cream after the walk!!

Ice Cream time!!
There was suppose to be pink lights shone on the building there for this event but we were all starving... so didnt get it but I manage to "steal" a picture of it *hiak hiak*

Photo taken from Here
without permission =P
So after everything, we walked to Funan to meet Vanessa's bf, Jeeve. We had dinner at Sushi Don!!! I walked past that place a couple of times but never went in -_-"

We Ordered quite alot of food... and I had Kimchi Ramen!!! not too bad

Totally no link but my dinner + Vanessa Hogging my PSP
Went to shop just a little with Vanessa after the dinner and I dunno if you guessed it but....

I SPENT $$$ again!!
Got a red Guess purse for myself. It's really nice!! I love love love it <3 *Muuack* I always spend money when I shop with Vanessa -_-"

Last shot for the day!! I'm like super hungry again by then

Accident at workplace...

2008-10-03T23:46:00.002+08:00

Now my class has been shifted to Fridays... and I dun like it one bit -_-"

Recently I've been feeling sian-ed but I highly suspect it is because that time of the month is approaching again. It's the first time I', whine but... WHY do I have to suffer this?!!

I just finished watching Heroes season 1... not too satisfied with the ending lof. I shall take a break from Heroes over the weekend, cannot watch like nobody's business.

Anyway today a rather tragic accident happened in my office too...

A friend of mine...

Gingerbread Man

Slipped and fell...

2008-10-02T00:12:00.003+08:00

Holiday!!! Woke up late and spent my day doing one thing... and one thing only

Was in front of my computer for a day to watch this!!!
I started watching Heroes on Monday and I love it!! But too bad I didnt have the complete season 1 so now I have to watch online *bleah*

I think the plot is rather dark... like sometimes they show you the darker side of the seemingly good ppl. Not to mention it's also quite bloody... oh well... I do enjoy it and it's addictive!!! It's I have to continue watching one episode after another.

Gosh I HATE it when a episode ends and I have more 'questions' than 'answers'

I must have the discipline to go sleep and go work tmr. It's going to be quite a long day at work tmr though...*sigh*

Holiday's over...sux to be an adult isnt it?

Ditto

Weekend 没了

2008-09-28T21:15:00.006+08:00

Anyway, I've finally chosen the 5 lucky bags already... gave one to my mum and left 4 to sell!! Sold one to my cousin already and 3 more for sale!!

This is the clothes section lor, got La Senza, Guess, GAP, Raoul... La Senza Bra is like 3 for $30!!! I got 3!! hiak hiak hiak

This is the Guess bag section.. I think this is the most crowded section liao...

Saw this bra and tot it's super Kinky la...ohhohoho

Vanessa is sooo sad that she has to leave the place...haa

So today, I went town again to meet Mable!! Was 20mins late.... *oops*
But Mable was busy combing through the comic section at Kinokuniya la...

Went for lunch at the zhong huan there and chit chat like for hours. We only decided to leave the place because our bladders are on the verge of bursting... hahaha

Bought a Black Mickey Mouse MP3 player as Mable's belated bday present... damn cute la, incredibly tempted to get one for myself tooo *greedy greedy*

Mable got me an Elmo with a lollipop...Love it!!!

I bought a set of 便便日报 to help me pass time when I sit on my

Pok pok is the act-cute name for Koropok =P

Met up with my junior Violet to go shopping at orchard....It's been quite a while since I met her...

It was suppose to be a very harmless meetup but things kinda got out of hand...

We started flipping through the bags lor but didnt really found nice ones... then I realise the nice ones hor must snatch one le...

There's some of them very selfish... they will grab everything to their side and then slowly see what they want. There was also some display of violence... I didnt see anything but hear abit la.... *shake head disapprovingly*

Anyway, this is my loot today!!

Nice red bag for $30!!

Good for office wear!! $30 bucks le

Very Juicy Couture... it's only $30

Was organizing my songs in my Ipod, putting lyrics and album art work in etc.... (really an piece of sai job sia)

Today decided to start with all my Jay Chou Songs lor... The first Jay Chou album I got was Fantasy which is his 2nd album. Now I dunno how many albums he has liao....

I think he has a really nice voice... okie he may not be very shuai la but hor I read in somewhere last time (like caveman period that kind ah), the female actually choose their mate through to the guy's voice one le. Dunno where I read it but I know I read it in some @#$%^&*( magazine.

At least for my case, I can be attracted by a man's voice *hohoho*
Not too deep, smoothing, gentle that kind la.... something like jay chou is not bad...

Anyway, came across something interesting so thought I shall juz share here =)

Q版周杰伦专辑封面

2008-09-17T23:07:00.002+08:00

Got a new mp3 today!!!

IPod Shuffle 2GB!!

Got this as a freebie for some plan I signed up =D
Never had any free mp3 in my life before... Was thinking of getting a shuffle last time but in the end, bf got me a Nano for Christmas...

Something out of point coming up again...

Another piece of evidence of my pigging out session in office *hehe*

Anyway, a while back I found this mysterious lump on my hand...
It's quite hard but it's not bone... It's hard, not really painful when I press it but it felt funny...

I decided to ignore it and thought it will go away...

It didnt.... -_-"

So one day, I went online and google it and it seems that it's actually a Ganglion Cyst. It's actually quite common and harmless but hor it may grow in size le *argh* The exact cause is not known but it's believed that it may be a result from overusing a specific joint (wah, must be all the games playing using the mouse...Shit!)

I came across something interesting when I was reading up on this. Apparently, there's another name for this thingy... it's also known as a bible bump. The reason is because one of the "traditional" cure for this is to hit the bump with a hard object like a book to "pop" it la. Haa... I dun quite fancy this method le

Anyway, I still went to the doctor to check it up... yeah, the doctor also confirmed that it's a ganglion cyst. When I told her abt the "traditional" method, she told me not to try... Wahahahaha

Let's hope it wont grow anymore.
Even better, DISAPPEAR FROM THIS EARTH!!!Muhahaha

I went Orchard TWICE this week!!

2008-09-14T21:38:00.003+08:00

Sibei bo liao blog entry title but I think this is the most significant thing for this week lor...

Met up with Jojo and Vanessa on Tuesday at Orchard. It's been some time since I took the train to town *bleah*

I bought something at Taka....

不舍得吃咧...
I bet you wont know what this is if I don't tell you....
It is actually flaky skin mooncake... 月饼!月饼!!... Sub-plise! Sub-plise!!!

Was starving already but this two woman ahh still can talk talk talk.... -_-"

Jojo & Vanessa

So much to choose but I chose fried rice!!

Taste as good as it looks!

Shopped around abit after dinner and as usual, I always have to spend money when I go shopping with de gers.... -_-" (I can hear seng seng *tsk tsk tsk-ing* away) Bought a pair of heels from Isetan O_O

Some snacks I got myself in office:

I know this is very out of point but I like to see pictures of food okie?

Was suppose to meet Mable on Sat but she was too tired so we are meeting next weekend instead. So bf pei me go town instead and I made him walk all the way from wheelock to cineleisure.

Wanted to go there to 转蛋one de but hor dun have cute ones... so he 白走了 hehehe.
We had some food there then went to Kino walk walk...

and of course....

I spend $$$ again....

But this is money well-spent >_<

Feeling a little sad...

2008-09-12T22:35:00.003+08:00

Sometimes it's hard not to be sad...

Finally met my class for this semester on Thursday. The students seem pretty serious about their work and it was quite a pleasant lesson. The teaching load for this semester is lighter but I think there's going to be more work from the admin side.

Recently, I realise how important photos are. I stopped taking photos after my Canon Ixus was stolen like last year. When I took out photos I took with Nicole, I realise they really bring back alot of memories. I wished I had taken more photos with her and had backup my data or printed them out (Lost my convocation picture with her and was too lazy to go take picture with her somewhere after the convo -_-").
It's time to get a new camera and start my journey to be a cam-whore like Cowan.

Anyway, I got myself a Panasonic Lumix FX36
In Pink -_-"
So far I'm happy with it...

I need to find some meaning in life.... am I really living just because I'm alive?

Almost - A Song She Shared

2008-09-10T12:01:00.002+08:00

Can you tell me, How can one miss what she’s never had
How could I reminisce when there is not past
How could I have memories of being happy with you boy
Can someone tell me how can this be
How could my mind pull up incidents
Recall dates and times that never happened
How could we celebrate love that’s too late and
How could I really mean the words I’m about to say

I miss the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we used to kiss
At least in my dreams just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happen to us, we were almost there
Who ever said it’s impossible to miss
What you never had, never almost had you

I can not believe I let you go
Or what I should say is, I should have grabbed you up and never let you go
I should have went out with you
I should have made you my boo, boy
Yeah, that is one time I should have broke the rules

should have went on the date, should have found a way to escape
Should have turned almost into if it happen, now it’s too late

How could I celebrate a love that wasn’t real
And if it didn’t happen, why does my heart feel

I miss the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we used to kiss
At least in my dreams just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happen to us, we were almost there
Who ever said it’s impossible to miss
What you never had, never almost had you

(some times I want to hug you, sometimes I want to love you)
You seem to be the perfect one for me
(some times I want to touch you, but to night I want to love you)
You, you’re all I ever wanted
You’re my everything, Yes it’s true
Boy it’s hard to be close to you
My love, boy it may sound crazy
But I’m in love with you

I miss the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we used to kiss
At least in my dreams just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happen to us, we were almost there
Who ever said it’s impossible to miss
What you never had, never almost had you

I miss the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we used to kiss
At least in my dreams just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happen to us, we were almost there
Who ever said it’s impossible to miss
What you never had, never …almost had you
(But tonight I want to love you)

Nicole sent me this song quite some time back. She told me she felt that she could relate to this song. I know she's aching inside, she kept it under control most of the time but, sometimes, she let it out once in a while.

We talked about relationships and we both felt that maybe we're both fated not to get married. Having her with me, I felt comforted and I knew that I will never be lonely or have to grow old alone. In fact, I think we will have so much more fun together. There's just never a dull moment with Nicole.

In some of our conversation when I told her how upset I am about my situation. She always ask me to live for myself and no one else. I guess this is how she tell herself to help her move on too.

I know we will meet again one day.

Maybe you're drinking coffee waiting for the day to come. I bet while waiting, you are making another truckload of friends and up to some adventure again.

Miss you...

Nicole - The Best Thing in My Life....

2008-08-30T20:03:00.003+08:00

Nicole left on 29th August 2008.

A car accident in US took her away from me.

She's the one best friend I had, the one person I could always count on, the one who always stood by me and is always there for me.

Not everyone is lucky like me to have found such a friend.

But as much as how Life has been merciful to me to bring her into my life....
Life is Cruel to take her away from me like this...

We promise to keep each other company till we're old and if we're not married, we can even be room mates. She never keep her promise but I cannot bear to be angry with her because she is the Best Thing in My Life...

Peace be with you my Dear Dear Friend

Island Hopping

2008-08-04T13:05:00.007+08:00

A few weekends ago bf and I decide to go visit Kusu Island.

After googling a while and asking around a little bit, we managed to find out where to take the ferry and how much etc. So sat morning, we made our way to Marina South Pier...

Marina South Pier
It's pretty nice there I must say...

The ferry will first arrive at St John Island and then to Kusu and finally back to Marina South Pier. Prior to this trip, I read it in some stranger's blog that the ferry will stop at St John for 20mins before departing for Kusu island. Big mistake to believe what I read lor....

These two big suckers still dunno what is going to happen next >=|
I went down to take a look around st John island and before 10mins is up, the ferry left the freakin' jetty!! -_-"

So... we were stranded at St John Island for 3 hours before the next ferry comes. To make things worst, there's NOTHING to see there.. okie maybe not really nothing cuz I did manage to Jenny-Peep at this scandalous couple at the lagoon. Wahahaha

Well, I took a short nap there, disturbed some ants and then walked to the lagoon to slack.

It's pretty nice here, not that much sun and very windy
Actually I didnt climb all these rocks for this shot, I just wanted to go closer to see the scandalous couple. But they saw me coming, so they "drift" nearer to the shore lor. hahaha.... I make no attempt to spy on them discreetly btw...

Ah siao came with us too...
Finally the gruesomely boring 3 hours is over....
I can see the approaching ferry!!! Yipee!!

When the ferry arrived at Kusu Island, I didnt want to go down initially for fear I will be left stranded on the island since this is the last ferry for the day. Bf say must go down take a look at least because we came for this ma....

so I go down lor.... but this time they got count the number of ppl going down the island because you are not allowed to stay overnight in Kusu Island.
It's been probably 20 years since I came to Kusu (according to the photos I have on Kusu, seems like I'm around 5yrs old at that time)

Took a pic with this statue when I was young, with my mum and bro. Shall go and scan it soon ^^ they painted the background blue, last time it was like stoney color le...

Since Kusu is 龟岛 then of course must have 乌龟咯！ They quite cute la but of course cannot compare to my ah turtle la!! But then hor, I would have rather spent 3 hours staring at them than at the scandalous couple at St John... (男的不帅，女的不美...呵呵呵)

Time for some good looking people to occupy some space on my blog...

I thought this picture is quite nicely taken... courtesy of Seng Seng

Yep after that we went for dinner at Esplanade... Thai Express or something like that then went to Harry's to get a quick drink.

PS/ I stole the star-shaped plastic pick that comes with my drink too... Eeehehehehe

我有同感

2008-07-30T09:37:00.002+08:00

Thought that this picture is so super cute la...
Run until 眼翻白，口水乱流.....

Actually last time when I train on track, I also feel as if my tears coming out lor...

The Bubblegum Theory

2008-07-08T22:42:00.006+08:00

Went for a 10km jog with a colleague today after work. He shared with me this "Bubblegum Theory" which find I pretty interesting.

He said that relationships something is like chewing bubblegum. The initial 45seconds is so sweet and you just cant get enough of it but..... after a while, no matter how hard you chew, the bubblegum loses all its sweetness.
You persist and continue to chew somemore and guess what? You start to feel your jaw getting sore *hehehehe*

Well, I guess it's a pretty intriguing but I think it's has some truth in it

This is my favourite bubblegum brand...
I like grape, the pink one and watermelon...
I like like *Scream* LIKE!!!

Ahh, I had a Super Super happening weekend *grinz* Eeeee

Friday after the round de campus run (ahh btw, my dept got 2nd and also bagged the fastest male runner prize!!! Who say Engineers not athletic sia...)

Ahh, Friday went to Timbre @ Substation with my ex students...

It was a pretty nice place with live band la... They tried this Flame tower thingy where they had to finish their drink with blue flames coming down a glass tower onto their drink... pretty cool la but hor poor student, his straw melted before he finish his drink and he took in quite some burnt polymer fumes... -_-"

Well, the next day, I'm suppose to go St. James (yes, I dun like to club!!!) but in the end because they pushed the timing back to 10pm, I decided to pass and meet my friend.

Met him at esplanade Harry's for a drink first. I had Harry Berllini if I remember correctly... not bad better than the last drink I had there. What drink was it?? Not going to tell you but I have a BIG HINT... The very first cocktail on the menu *hehehe*

Harry's at Esplanade

Next I went to Eski Bar at Boat Quay

My drink is something like Lychee martini but I dun remember the name la...
A boy came up to me there when my friend went out to answer his phone... he introduced himself and his friend and ask if I can give him my number.
Hmmm, very flattering indeed but he look like my students' age!!!! hehehe, maybe cuz I look young la... *hao lian liao*

Anyway, after the drink, my friend decide tat we go look for some actions at Clarke Quay lor... walked the whole place and then finally decide to settle down at Clinic C

Had always wanted to go there!!

Think my drink was some cosmo dunno wat la... this one is abit too much for me. Makes my throat feel dry and I think I feel a little lightheaded after it.

Anyway, while I was at Clinic C, I was busy *spying* for actions. Pretty entertaining especially with my friend narrating stupid lines he came up with...haa

Wah LIEW eh!!! 11.33pm liao... better go sleep

I want to 一大觉到天亮的咧.... time to go korr bu korr bu liao lor!!!

Badminton Day for my department...

2008-07-04T15:50:00.005+08:00

Wednesday was the Badminton Day for my department. We all had lunch together and then had some brainstorming session (standard one de....)

Then it was the inter-pod badminton tournament and....
My pod got kicked out during the first round -_-"
Actually I think this sentence basically sums up the tournament liao le....hahaha

Just some pictures (with my face of course) taken on that day...

The 4 "pillars" of our department....hahahaha *as iff*

That's Linda, me, Joanne and Weilin, the 4 admin officers of our department.

This one is call Pattern 多过Badminton

That's our pod!! Jianguo, Weilin, Me and Simon

You should the words on Simon's Fcuk Tee...
Something like "This is the only thing I wear in bed" hehehe...

Right, it's the 四大美女 again, only one is a sweaty 女 (me lor)....
lucky I wear dark color, but can still see my....
Sweat Stain hor? Hahaha

I really enjoyed myself that day....
Always enjoyed badminton but never realise my "dream" of being in the school team....tat's a long story in itself which I already blogged abt before here

Interesting spam

2008-07-01T16:47:00.003+08:00

A spam mail caught my eyes today...

"Update your Penis" was the email title

I find this very funny... hahahaha
And it is so wrong lor, penis is not software, it's closer to a hardware mah...

You update your software and you upgrade your hardware

Hence, my conclusion is
"Upgrade your penis" is a more appropriate title =P

Sometimes I wonder if things will ever be the same again...
Just when I thought I've crawled out from the pit of depression, something must hit me back on the head ~_~

My equilibrium has been upset and I'm at the edge of losing my balance again...

What a weekend

2008-06-29T15:57:00.004+08:00

It's funny how things can change in such a short time...

Went to get my first PSP yesterday at Sim Lim....

Got the purple one since the red one is like $50 bucks more...

After that went for to Bedok Reservoir to see Dragon Boat race...
Just another Normal Saturday with my ah seng....

It's now no more.... I'm surprisingly calm after a huge sobbing session (ah siao now really really needs a bathe =P)... or is it an unusual calm before an unusual storm?

Stay tune to find out lor...

My new necklace!!!

This came my mailbox today....
Love Love Love it!

Lunch Time Thought

2008-06-18T15:33:00.003+08:00

"I enjoy being a pain in the ass for people who piss me off"

Does that make me evil?

My Ubin Getaway!

2008-06-14T11:28:00.016+08:00

School term is starting next week again *sigh*

Took two days off before holiday ends to re-charge myself!!
Initially I was contemplating a short trip to either Malacca or KL but thought maybe not cuz I scare I might get robbed (been reading quite some news of ppl getting into trouble in KL)

So I thought why not go Pulau Ubin instead. Wanted to get more people to go but I guess it was too last minute so in the end it was just me and my Ah Seng.

There's no shopping and no interesting food but I think it was still a GREAT trip (minus multiply by minus is positive!! the Wonders of Mathematics -_-")

Thursday Morning Ah Seng came to pick me up for our MacDonald Breakfast. I ordered Happy Meal cuz I'm collecting the Kung Fu Panda toys!! Argh, I missed out on the Tigress and I HAVE to find it... if anyone know where I can get it pleeasse pleeaasse let me know okie?

After breakfast we went to the MCC resort at Puggol to board our ferry. We were given a double storey room for some reason but I guess we can do with it? hehehe

Bedroom upstairs

Stairs...

Bedroom downstairs

The Living Room

Okie, so after inspecting the room (I thought there was some smell but Ah Seng insist there's no smelly smell... Maybe it's him...hmmmmm...) it's CYCLING time!! If you go Ubin, you MUST MUST MUST cycle... why? Because that's the ONLY fun thing you can do there =P (according to me of course)

So this is the Map of Ubin (which looks alot like a foot to me...)

Can you see that now?? Still cannot?? I'll use the 失传已久的Ubin无影脚 and kick you then you can feel it instead =P

Our first stop is, of course, to find food since the resort have hardly any food at all. Tsk tsk tsk....*shake head very disapprovingly*
We cycled to the Jetty there and it's a 15-min trip lor....

Ah Seng chose a Malay stall for Lunch and we ordered Mee Rebus and Mee Siam. Okie... I've never eaten either before and I dunno which one is which (Ah Seng suspect if I'm really a Singaporean...废话, of course LAH.... see the LAH???? That is SINGAPOREAN okie?!! Pfff....)

After lunch, it's time for a lazy afternoon nap...Zzzz
Hahaha.... no lah!!! (Lah again!! SIN-GA-PO Lang okie...) we went for some exploration of the Ubin island!!We found this secluded place near the jetty which is excellent to enjoy the afternoon seabreeze.

It's low tide and there's many small holes on the mud. Ah Seng tell me inside got crab and so we stood on a rock and waited. Sure enough, I saw small little crabs peeping out from time to time!! Wow!! I never seen that before le!!!

Typical Sua-Ku...
The crabs have one claw very much larger than the other one and they are actually fiddler crabs.
This is the type of fidder crab I saw.
Apparently they are very sensitive to movement. They will crawl out abit but once there's any movement nearby, they will retreat back into their mud holes. So it was really fun for me to sit there and wait for alot of them to come up and then start jump around and roaring at them... it's fun watching them scramble back to their holes...Eeehehehehe

So we cycled until around 2plus and went back to the resort for some light reading and a good LONG afternoon nap. Believe you me... Naps are the crux of a GOOD holiday!! Rushing everywhere and walk till your feet are dying, one toe at a time, is definitely not a Good Holiday to me.

After nap, it's time for Dinner!!Hohoho... We had our dinner at the jetty again but another stall that faces the sea. Well, I was reading this new book "The Tao of Pooh" and personally I think the author is a little too bias towards Taoism. Slamming others down to show another's superiority always turn me off. Heaps of past experiences and thoughts came while I was reading the book and it's like opening a can of worms and poor Ah Seng was the unfortunate victim. Btw, I think the Tao of Pooh is still a nice read.

Back to the resort, after we returned the bicycles (by the way, renting bicycle from the resort is like $10 can!! if you go to the jetty there, you can get one bicycle for $2 lor) we went to play see-saw and swing for a little while before sitting at the bench facing the sea to read and enjoy the seabreeze again.

Ah Seng is a Sunset Freak and wanted a good view of the sunset so we had to "relocate" lor.

Check out Ah Seng's sunset 杰作!! Nice?

While Ah Seng was enjoying the sunset view....
I was very very busy....

Actually I also dunno what I was doing... I just cant keep still

Ah Seng: Sunset le??

Me: Neh neh neh!!!

Hmmm I think my finger point Sa-la le...hahaha

After that it was TV time (Nothing much to watch, I miss Taiwan's TV shows) and we tahan until 10pm and finally cooked bowl noodles for supper. It was then that I realise there were no chopsticks -_-". So we had to improvise and use the plastic tea/coffee stirrers provided.

Then it was ZZZzzzz for 10 to 11hours (I think) before we packed up and had our pathetic breakfast (Cheese Biscuits and Milo) because there's NO food sold at the resort.

That's my Ubin trip.... not too bad hor...

Fetish with the nerdy tribe

2008-06-08T19:22:00.002+08:00

I have a thing for guys who are slightly towards the nerdy side...

My current bf and the last few bfs all LOVE to read (and two of them are from NJC aka Nerd JC *hehehe*) Like what I shared with some of my friends before, I need a guy who is smart. Appearance isnt at the top of my list (I say not at the TOP, it doesnt mean it is NOT in the list), in fact I cant stand those guys who think they are the Adonis of this century and that all women in the world worships them *puke*

A smart guy isnt just someone who get a perfect score for his O levels, take God-knows how many S papers and score all Distinctions for A Levels. Someone who is smart (according to me arh) should be reasonaly well-read, has his own opinion on issues (come on, it's not juz woman who has no opinion, some guys have zero-opinions on alot of issues too) and of course he must be relatively eloquent as well.

*think abt current bf*
- Reasonably Well Read (check)
- Has his own opinion (somewhat, check)
- relatively eloquent (fairly,check)

okie I know this is extremely abrupt... but I feel really sleepy (had a nice dinner 10mins ago) and the weather is just too bloody nice. I'll be damn if I don't crawl into bed now and slack....hahaha

Oh btw, I found this interesting Pick-up Lines for Computer Geek....

I was hoping you wouldn't block my pop-up
Ahh, one more cool nerd I have to mention here.... Kumar from the movie!!
If you havent watch it, I wont say you missed out much cuz I think the first movie was way better than the 2nd one =P

There's this nerdy-ly romantic poem from this movie which I think is ultra cool!

here it is...

I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

-David Feinberg

Commitment-Phobic

2008-06-08T01:10:00.008+08:00

Today I went for a colleague's wedding...

Everytime I go for a wedding, I feel so happy for the couple even if I dunno them well. I guess it's a big step and they both decide to take it together.

As I was saying about something I read in the 我是女王, the author talks about how some woman, after years of dating with their bf, broke up with them because they kept giving excuses why they are not ready to get married. Classic examples include "my career is not stable"; "I need to save up more" blah blah blah... and when the woman finally cant wait anymore and broke up with the guy, he got married within a year with another woman he met shortly after the breakup.

Well, the ONLY reason why he didnt want to marry you is....

他不够爱你
He doesnt love you enough
(In long he's worried that you are != THE RIGHT one la)

After reading this, suddenly I remember a few cases of my friends who met guys that say they are not ready for a relationship blah blah blah (and one actually got married after like a year because shotgun lor).... to be brutally honest; the only reason why he is not willing to have a "real" relationship with you is that he does not love you enough.

There's a lifespan of a woman's youth and I guess it's pure selfishness of a guy not to consider that when dating someone in her prime. For goodness sake, if you don't love her enough to want to marry her (eventually) just let her go and don't waste her precious youth.

女人啊，女人...
爱情不是你等，就是你的
聪明的女人是不会把自己的轻春浪费在一个不够爱你的男人身上的

It's harsh but you got to learn to accept that sometimes he's just not that into you....or rather, he's just not into you anymore

But be honest: you're not that into him either too
(at least for me... if a guy shows no more interest anymmore, I think I would probably lose my interest for him too [if there's any to begin with]...perhaps tat's my self-protection mechanism - an absolute necessity for the preservation of my sanity *wahahaha* )

It's the Weekend!!

2008-06-06T23:38:00.004+08:00

Today I have the whole office all by myself!! Everyone else is on leave (almost.. one colleague took half day off though). It's nice to do work with Friends playing at the background... (psst, I have a habit of "listening" to shows while doing work, in fact I'm listening to CSI now as I'm typing this!!)

Kungfu panda is out today!! The cinema was inundated by kids since it's the school holidays. I dooo not like kids.... esp the shrieking ones -_-"
The movie was superb, laughed through the entire movie. I am so going to get the VCD once it's out.

You'll love the Panda after watching this movie

After movies, bf brought me to Sembawang park cuz I wanted to go play swing!! It's so hard to find a swing in Singapore nowadays. Quite some time back, bf brought me to West Coast to find swing but there was none then we went Kranji Reservoir a while back, the playgrounds were closed. Did some asking around and a colleague told me there's swings at Sembawang park.

Found the swings but there's two guys swinging lor, so we took a seat and waited. Those two guys kept talking and talking... I think they're around 15 to 17 yrs old... 小弟弟s so much things to talk one de
Finally it was my turn on the swing!! I think it's been at least 10+ years since I last sat on a swing... hmmm it's a long long time.

I pride myself as an adept swing-er, I can swing really high up, enough to shame most guys *hehe* but it was a long time ago....
Well, I did manage to swing up high but I THINK I felt a little queasy after some time on the swing -_-"

Tsk... want to blog alittle on something I read from the 我是女王 but my brain is now on critical battery mode...

Will continue after a night of charging....

----------Shut down-----------

Dear Diary...

2008-06-01T16:57:00.015+08:00

Finally my bf is back from outer space...

It's nice to have him back... was getting a tad lonely without him around *可怜的女人*
We went to Suntec on Saturday to pak tor. When he reached my place at 9plus in the morning... I thought we're juz going somewhere nearby for breakfast before heading for town but nooo.... somehow I managed to get dressed and sit my lazy ass on my bf's bike.

Itinerary of the day:
Breakfast
Watch Movie
Bookfair
Lunch
Pick up my Hard disk

First stop: MacDonald
MacDonald's happy meal toy is the characters from Kung Fu Panda. I got the Shifu and he's pretty funky....hehehe

Second stop: Movies
Well, Indiana Jones was quite a disappointment... and there wasn't any movie I wanted to watch in particular at the moment. Since Bf say want to watch Narnia, I comply lor.

It was definitely above my expectation ^_^ and now I feel like reading the books too!

There were quite some trailers of the upcoming movies before the movie starts and they all seem totally "watchable" =P

My Must-Watch Movie List

Since we're on the subject of Movies... I was walking out to the MRT with some of my colleagues the other day. She mentioned that she havent watch a movie for 6 months and this piece of information was received by a loud gasp by the other colleague. She say that everyone who has a bf/gf usually watches all the (good) movies once it's out, leaving all their unattached friends with no one to watch those movies with. Come to think about it, I do watch alot of movies with my bf. It's juz a typical sorta thing to do when you go out with your bf ma... I mean what else can you do in Singapore hur hur hur...

Third Stop: Bookfair
One word - Unexciting

Fourth Stop: Lunch
Lunched at Fish & Co and for the first time of my life, I did not order seafood platter!! Haa... it's juz weird that everytime I go Fish & Co. I always end up having the same thing (ahh deja vu of my conservative appetite..pff)
Ordered the New York Fish n Chips and my oh my.... the Fish portion is HUMONGOUS!! But Fret Not as I'm amply prepared for times like this.... I have my bf with a bottomless stomach with me...hehehehe

Fifth Stop: Pickup my Hard disk
It was raining and I was too tired to go Sim Lim (so is my bf) so we end up picking up some magazines from Harris Bookshop and had a drink at Gelare.

And that's the most Interesting Part of my entire weekend. So much for that *sigh*

Something Red

2008-05-30T00:06:00.006+08:00

This is the colourful Timex series I was talking abt yesterday!

Today's a reallli reallli long day at work.... am I glad it's over
So as promised, I went to look for the watch after work today. Being half drenched from walking to the MRT did not stop me from getting my Red Watch (I'm on a mission!!!) >=|

My Pretty Watch~

And look who "hijack" my new watch...

Tskk...

消费！消费！我要消费！

2008-05-28T21:00:00.008+08:00

It's irritating when someone intercept what you had done halfway without checking with you first.

After listening to the Last Lecture yesterday, I was very inspired to work hard in office today. Or rather, I have quite some stuff I plan to finish by the end of the day. Was kinda stressed yesterday because I was worried I couldnt finish it on time but I'm glad I managed.

So this particular colleague wanted me to help him do something which, in my opinion, is not that urgent. He called me TWICE on the HP to ask me to do it. Fine if you want to check with me, first you can drop an email to check if I got your email on that matter before calling me so many times. When I told him I can only promise him tomorrow, he was like "eh do you have other higher priority things to be done"...
This person 不知道"死"字是怎样写的 >=|
I think I yelled a little when I told him what I am working on... and he started saying he understand how busy we all are this this that that.
I dislike people to nag at me but I really can't stand a naggy guy... -_-"

So I actually managed to finish what he wanted at around 2pm and sent it over. Later he asked me to add in some stuff which requires some intervention from another dept. I emailed him back saying that unless it is an absolute necessity, I advise against it. Instead of replying my email... my good old colleague decided to take the matter into his own hands and email that dept. He kept going on and on about how impt this is blah blah blah...

You pissed me off once, you better back off...
You pissed me off twice, you are better off dead!!

okie, enough of the royal ass-es from work...

I found something I want to buy!!!!
Deprived of a watch for almost a year liao... finally something caught my eye.
It's the Timex Ironman Triathlon 30 Lap Series in RED!!

This is the exact same model as my very first Times watch and it's my all-time fav model!! Now it's in RED!!! Double Coolness!! haha
Too bad I cant find any pictures online to post here... but I will go buy it tmr after work!!

Gotta start running more often niao after I get the watch...hmmm, I detect skepticism
我们走着瞧吧!!

*tick tick tick*

The Last Lecture

2008-05-27T22:02:00.002+08:00

Gloomy, my day is...

Do you ever have the experience to feel just utterly down but you just can't pinpoint what's the cause behind it?

Maybe I miss my bf cuz he away for reservist?
Maybe my turtle is sick and faked its death to me yesterday?
Maybe because this is going to be a long week at work?

Well this list can go on and on... but wat's the point right

So, I got a ride from my colleague to Lot1 after work and decided to walk around. Went to buy my fav Yumi Peach Yoghurt (Which reminds me... have you seen their ad at Novena Square? it says 99% fat free.... if it's not 100%, it's not fat free) I also grab an issue of 8 days before heading back home. While walking back to my place from the station, an article caught my eye (yes, I'm walking and reading at the same time =P)

A professor who was diagnosed with cancer gave his last lecture which was turned into a bestselling book. So I decided to look for his lecture on youtube when I got home. The lecture was slightly more than an hour and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Suddenly I felt so silly to have deprived myself of a day's happiness.

I like what the professor had shared in his Last Lecture and I really think it's worth the time listening to it. He shared about his childhood dreams, how he achieve them, the people he had met and things he learnt.

After watching the video, I can't help but somehow felt that there's really more to what you can do with your life. As repeated several times in his lecture, he shared that brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things. I have to admit that perseverance is certainly not one of my fortes but I'm inspired by what he shared "Don't bail: the best gold is at the bottom of barrels of crap".

Here's the video by the way...

RJ question:
If you were to give a "Last Lecture", what would you share?

note to self - Get the book

Boring Side of Me

2008-05-25T23:59:00.005+08:00

Every once in a while, I would tell myself that I need a more healthy diet. But to be honest, my daily diet is not all that sinful actually.

Yes, I do have a sweet tooth but I dun gorge on chocolates, cakes, sweets, I juz have a preference for sweet stuff. In fact, peeling off chicken skin is a routine because oily stuff makes me tear. I would probably puke if I down one plate of Char Kway Tiao at one sitting.

I eat rather frequently but usually small meals at a time and according to some studies, such eating habits actually enhances the metabolic rate. Last week while I was out with my cousin, we had a rather heavy dinner at Swensen. She later asked if I will still eat when I get home to which I replied "of course la". Then she say I always eat and eat and eat and eat. I beg to differ... I told her I eat (pause) and eat (pause) and eat... hahaha, must emphasize on the pause between my gobbling sessions.

Although I love to eat, I don't always have good appetite and that is when I'll go for the magical soup+rice combi. Bf always refer this to 病人吃的 but I dun care *bleah*

Also, fruits are definitely not supper-material for me.

When it comes to food, I'm not a very adventurous person. I tend to order the same few type of food whenever I eat at hawker and my bf will always say 你不sian meh? (in fact I only had my first nasi lemak when I was in university!! haa)
During primary school, I had fishball noodles for recess for almost an entire year and the stall auntie always knew what I want even before I order!! *proud proud*

My Hawker Center/Food Court Standard orders
1. Drumstick rice
2. Lemon Chicken Rice
3. Fishball noodles (or dong fen)
4. Wanton noodles
5. Hor Fun
6. Hokkien Mee
7. Chicken Chop
8. Spaghetti Bolognese
9. Nasi Lemak
10. Teriyaki Chicken

I love Sakae Sushi and I have standard orders too! I love Ika Sushi although, according to my bf, it's tastless -_-" (I think his taste bud not as gd as mine =P)

There are standard orders even for drinks. It's either Milo (usually breakfast time), chrysanthemum tea or Pepsi. Less frequently, Root Beer, Lemon Barley, Sprite and coke(if pepsi is not available). Jialat la, I'm like the DE most boring person when it comes to food... am I wasting my life on earth?

Now I am depressed....*fake tears*

Anyway, just before I shutup and go to sleep...

I was telling my bf that this skirt I ordered online is quite short and he say sexy sexy la. Tsk tsk, if got wind blow how? That is NOT a sexy sight lor (not because I dun have nice buns, I even have nice legs to go with my nice buns can?!! *haolian*)
Just because I have it, doesn't mean I have to flaunt it right... why 便宜 the perverts le? That's when suddenly I had an idea....

Can you imagine wearing this when you want to get naughty with your bf?

Blisterful Day

2008-05-24T00:14:00.002+08:00

The blisters on my feet are killing me!!! kena 欺负 by blisters... *sob*

Only slippers and trackshoes are non-blister inducing *sigh*

A little on 把妹

2008-05-22T21:05:00.009+08:00

Today is a very buay song day for me.... some LKK pissed me off at work >=|

Never mind... I big human got big volume... PFFFF
*flick flick away all the buay song-ness*

Ahem....okie..

So I was reading my 我是女王 in the train on my journey back home (yea I've been reading this for ages and I'm proud to say I'm juz halfway through... gd things cannot devour one... but slowly chew you know?) and the chapter was on 把妹绝招大公开!! It was definitely not a surprise that having a smooth tongue and owning a car are some necessities to be a 把妹 connoisseur. But what really caught my eye was the maxim unveiled by the "把妹之神"....

丑妹才是王道!
I think the 把妹最高境界 is when someone can reach the

有妹就把

美的丑的瘦的胖的
高的矮的黑的白的
老的小的香的臭的
新的旧的各种款式各种货色都不放过

How? My "气球" remix good? hahaha

Talk abt having a smooth tongue hur.. I was just sharing some lame pickup lines that my friend shared with me back in university.

"coolest" pickup line according to Pearl:
Guy: Excuse me, do you know how much does a polar bear weigh?
Ger: I don't know
Guy: Enough to break the ice

Well I have a perfect Drop off line for this lor....
Guy: Excuse me, do you know how much does a polar bear weigh?
Me: *Diao the guy up and down first* Do I LOOK like a POLAR BEAR to you??!!!

Bahahaha....

I do have a lame pickup line specially formulated to be used at the copy machine...
Guy: Reproducing?? Can I help?

-_-"

Half a 精典

2008-05-21T20:16:00.007+08:00

I am so very tempted to whine about what shit I got at work today...

可是百忍成金！
我忍，我忍，我忍..!!!
On my way to be 超级金刚人liao！

But actually I kinda took it out on this unfriendly grey cat. While waiting for my bf for dinner, I chased the cat around for a while...hahaha

Revenge is sweet...Hahaha

This is for leaving a scar on my hand >=|
(I'm a mega cat-lover btw...Reealllii!!!)

Ask Eeyore la... he can vouch for me on that...
*eee yore*

sigh, I want to blog but hor my mind like now gor song gor song one (means blank blank la...) No inspiration le... I was just reading through my old blogs and I realise I have like so much things trivial things to rant abt...

Maybe I should juz do a small 精典 recollection of my past blogs entries...

My very first blog entry was written in 25th July 2004
Basically I writing about what I did on my 21st bday (ahh my age is exposed!!) I was still with the ancient-history ex in university la (eeyyeerrr..hahaha =P). A rather boring entry actually ...Zzzzz

The "poetic" side of me...

I hate having to wake up early in the morning.
I hate sleeping early at night.
I hate not getting enough sleep.
I hate sleeping too much.
I hate not being able to wake up early enough to catch my bus.
I hate to take cab when I'm broke.

Wrote this when I was doing my industrial attachment at Tuas and I have to wake Reeeelly early. At that time, my biological clock was seriously screwed up so I had difficulty adjusting to the routine. This non-poem was inspired when I was late for work twice in a week.

"Wednesday, I woke up one hour earlier than I should. Not realising that I went on changing, eat breakfast and only realise tat I was an hour early juz when I was abt to leave the house. So I went back to sleep and end up waking up late.

Friday, I purposely skip my thursday training juz to get sleep at home but I guess I had a really good sleep and end up being too engrossed with the dream I had. Morning was a total mess. I was totally disorientated when my alarm goes off, I dun remember switching it off, I dun remember setting the alarm again, I dun remember going back to sleep.... All I remember was I woke up late --- AGAIN!"

Proof that I'm a deluded moron...

"It's 2:05am!
So it's time for the genius to go to bed now!
Goodnight world..."

I do have my Wise-O-Wise moments....

"So listen to this misunderstood genius...

Dun act smart when you are not
Act dumb if you're smart

Dun ask too many questions, it only make you look stupid
Ask only smart questions and Dun give stupid answers

Dun be too open-minded, your brain might juz fall out

Dun "just do it", it's only for people who cant think

Dun juz be yourself, Be FLEXIBLE!"

Whining about X-physique that I was conned to take part in....

"I dun know why I agree to jump down off the bridge into kallang river.
I hate heights, I hate it even more when I have to jump.... I'm no jack nor rose.
But for the sake of my other 3 team mates, I jumped.
A noble sacrifice to me !_!"

Okie okie, I dun think I can finish my 精典 recollection today, I need to make an attempt to sleep earlier today... weird hur, still struggling about the same problem of trying to sleep early -_-"

Yea, some random pictures I took last week...

Ah Siao buried under my book
Super Cool poster right...hahaha

My New MSN Picture

2008-05-19T00:02:00.005+08:00

I found this pair of "couple" msn display picture recently. Requested my bf to put it up with me...

Totally adorable

Been watching CSI for the past 2 days in front of my computer... and I think my brain has reached its saturation point liao -_-"

Sianz...

Back when I was having my holiday in Taiwan, a TV ad caught my eye. Went straight to YouTube to look for it after I got back to Singapore.

Here it is...

Where is your thinking place?

2008-05-16T22:36:00.005+08:00

Someone said that some of man's clearest thoughts come to him when he is sitting on the toilet bowl. Well, I don't think there's any concrete evidence for that but there's a possibility that this idea stems from the famous Thinker sculpture.

*wink wink* Need I say more? hehehehe

Right, I dun say, I juz draw la...

However, the toilet bowl is not where I have my clearest thoughts (in fact I cant recall any at all...Oops too much information). Today, I discovered one of my thinking place.

It's when I'm sitting on my bf's bike while he is riding.

I guess the main reason why I think best there is because there's pretty much nothing I can do (not even falling asleep for obvious reason). During this time, some of the problems/situations/question I have may come into mind and I may start to think about it.

Even so, these thoughts may not always be in the route of formulating a solution to the problems. And perhaps, to a certain extent, this can be rightfully labelled as 胡思乱想. Such thoughts came really without a purpose to yield a definitive outcome but when it does, I would say that these are my most original and creative ideas.

Take for example when my bf was sending me home just now after our pak tor session, I had some new ideas on what approach I can use to craft this particular module I'm working. This module is a royal pain in the ass because of so many reasons which, of course, includes my nonexistent experience in crafting a problem. I've spent a considerable amount of time sitting at my work desk, surfing for related resources, reading textbooks to help me pinpoint a possible entry approach but to no avail.

Another conducive thinking place for me will be in the bathroom when I'm showering. But there's downside though... I will have difficulty remembering if I had shampooed and I can end up shampooing a few times lor (means shampoo 2nd time then forget and then again la)... -_-"

Alright, enough of these these these liao...

Today is my pak tor day so bf and I went to catch a movie at Vivo after work

I thought it's one of the "slow" movies that'll bore you to concussion halfway through it. But it proved to be an exceptional one because towards the end of the movie, there is some realization of the significance behind the seemingly ambiguous portions of the movie.

Well, I shan't bore you (and myself) with the plot here but there's a scene in the movie that I enjoyed particularly...

The 死神(Death God) asked his companion (the black dog)how are the subjects chosen...

"...by drawing lots"

-_-" <---- 死神

"Laugh. This is a joke."

Hahaha, very funny indeed. There's a song in this movie which I thought is not bad. The video's below and I managed to find the translation for the lyrics.

Enjoy!!

Translation Sunny Day

What spilled out
Wasn’t a tear but a praying voice
What I looked up at
Was the sun above the clouds

I was living like I was asleep
I was always alone
Until the day I met you
I was always, always here

Even if there’s a love song
I could sing by myself
This warmth from the touch of your arms
Can’t be found alone

If I had put on a mask
Then I felt I might have forgotten
I shut away my memories
And locked them in a box

Even in that dark place
I was able to find you
Even if I can’t return
I’ll keep going farther, farther

Even if there’s a love song
That recalls loneliness
I can’t reach it alone
So I’ll walk out once more
Toward the door to tomorrow
With you…

I’ll transform sadness
Into kindness
And someday
Once I’ve set my true self free
The pain will disappear
I know it

I don’t need a love song
I can sing by myself anymore
I can’t find it alone
But with you I know
We can find a place where the sun shines
A tomorrow I’ve never seen

Oh no!! It's 11.08am now!

2008-05-15T09:47:00.002+08:00

Feeling lethargic at work today... -_-"

I should not have taken that nap when i reach home yesterday.
Not all naps are good you know...

Today, I shall sleep before 11.05 which means I have 5 mins to finish this post here *hehe*
Actually I cant think of anything I want to write about particularly. Does this have anything to with my humdrum life or is it I just stop using my brain to think... right and these already took me 3mins to write -_-"

Nvm...

Well, by the way I'm one of the face for RP now...

Check out my larger-than-lifesize poster

Went for a photoshoot sometime back for the Open House Posters...
Somehow, I was talked into wearing my swimming costume to take this photo. Am I glad that they cut my lower body off, if not I think my innocent angel image will be tarnish (hahah I know no link la... It's my bedtime liao)

This photo really don't do me justice le I think...*roar*

Anyway, this poster is still around the campus and guess you know what? I've seen garbage trolley placed in front of tat poster with a BIG broom on my face!!! hahaha

If only I took the photo down...

Shit... it's 11.07 liao, gotta sign off!! Ciaoz

Dogbert, probably the smartest Dog around

2008-05-15T00:30:00.007+08:00

I love Dogbert!! I've been looking for a Dogbert plush toy but there's not a decent one available anywhere *sulk*

He is probably the main reason why I enjoy Dilbert Comic so much...

"Build A Better Life By Stealing Office Supplies" is a must read!! I am so going to get one copy for myself >=|

Some Dogbert moments here...

Your biggest asset is rampant ignorance.
You would never start a project if you knew how much it would really cost.
Employees stay here because they don't know there are better jobs across the street.
Customers buy your products because they don't know about all the bugs.
I recommend wearing trash cans on your heads to avoid accidental exposure to knowledge.

Some thoughts

2008-05-13T20:32:00.010+08:00

Quite a busy day for me today...

Recently I've decided to grade my class on the day itself between breaks, during lunch time and right after the lesson. Although it takes some discipline to do so, I realise it's actually easier and faster because the memory of what each student did was still very fresh in my mind. So far, I've managed to finish my comments by the end of the day before I knock off. It used to be a dread writing comments for all the students and I would take more than half a day to grade one class. But now, because of the change, I actually have more time at hand to do other work.

My productivity at work seems to be improving!! ^^

A while back I was rather upset about the lack of prospect of my job, the pay, the sucky job title (it still sucks btw) and was contemplating if I should "jump boat" before I sink and drown *buruu buruu buruu*... a light beam from heaven struck my head somewhere somehow...

*Dee VOICE from heaven*

For what is a man profitted if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? ~ Matthew 16:26 ~

Alot of my friends, although they earn more than me, their job is more inflexible and takes up alot of their time. Sometimes it's very easy for me to fall into envy of their more "glam" jobs and feel bitter towards my own. When such bitterness takes root in my subconscious mind, I find that I'm irritable with the people and tasks that is related to my work. I drag my feet to work and when your attitude towards something is not right, what you produce will not be good as well. And this means no satisfaction from the job too!!

This is a 凶悍的圈圈(my translation for vicious cycle, dictionary translation is 恶性循环) eh before you criticize about my lousy translation, please take two fat bananas and shove it up your gap and DONT criticize...hehe

Okie, back to the topic... What I've come to realise is that earning more and having a more "glam" job is not what life is all about (speaking for myself here). I should not base my worth on how much my pay is; simply because it is not a good indication of one's worthiness anyway. What is important is how much I am "enjoying" my life now. At present. When I say "enjoy", it does not mean having fun only, it also includes the satisfaction derived from what I do as well. As long as I'm happy, it is really not that a big deal how many zeros I get in my paycheck because I am already happy now. Having realised that, it seems that I became more productive and actually enjoy my work more.

Back when I was a student, I always hear pastor preaching about enjoying work and don't fall into the "trap" of working solely for the money. I thought to myself, what's the big deal about it, just do what you need to do la, compare so much and so unhappy for what. Haha... but I was totally oblivious to it when I've crossed over to the DARK SIDE.

heeheehee, 哇si Darth Vader hor, dun pray pray arh....

I guess, in the end, what really is important is...

My new cushion...

2008-05-11T21:23:00.010+08:00

Spent almost the whole day in my room surfing the net... then bf asked if I want to go makan dinner so I thought I should go out and get some "fresh" air.
Went to Lot1 and bf bought me a cushion!!

偶的处女作！！

2008-05-10T20:36:00.005+08:00

“早起的鸟儿有虫吃，早起的虫儿被鸟吃。。。”
当偶看到这句话时，偶就觉得做虫比做鸟好命叻
虽然虫虫会给鸟儿吃，但是只要虫虫睡到迟迟就能逃过一劫了啊

偶呀, 就像是一条大懒惰虫了
每天睡到迟迟都不要起来
起来了也不怕被鸟儿吃

你说偶好命不好命。。。

2008-03-08T23:33:00.000+08:00

Went for theory lesson in the morning and then met bf to go get something at somewhere....

So while we were having our meals, I was reading Today about the suspected murderer who was shot down at Outram MRT by the police officer. Apparently some ppl commented that the police officer should had aimed for the guy's limb to immobilize him when he try to attack the officers.
*rolls eye* I think these ppl watch too much movies and think all police officers are 神枪手 issit...

Anyway, today I spent the whole day sitting at boi boi's void deck watching him fix something on his bike...

I helped a little...hehehehe

CJ7 was there too...
He's exploring the bike...
Experiencing being a biker...
Looking at my helmet... I think he's up to something....

Today after work, I went pak tor.....Went for sushi and then to watch...

Meet the Spartans!!
Hahaha... really a lame show. But like what I tell my boi boi... sometimes you have to watch lame shows to appreciate good movies... *hiak hiak*

Anyway, I think my most anticipated movie this year will be...

It's Kumar and Harold again!!!
I love the first movie.... watched it like 100 times over and over again. It's juz sooo funny!!! Cant wait to watch the sequel... *squeak squeak*

A while back, my bf wanted to buy CJ7 for me cuz I love it after watching the movie... He found out that GV7 is giving a CJ7 plush when ppl buy 6 tix at a time. But we only found it out after watching the movie.
So he went around looking for it and there's ppl selling it at like 60 to 80 bucks!!! I just felt that it wasnt worth it... so gave up on getting one.

Well... guess wat? Mini Toons is selling it now!!! $10 bucks!!
So, after movies bf went to get one for me... we took some time to decide which one to bring home...heehee

So after I got CJ7 back home...

It's time to introduce the gang to CJ7....

Ah Siao and CJ7 hit it off immediately...hmmm
