2009-06-30T19:10:00.001+08:00

due to ultimate boredom n some impulsiveness... i've decided to shift to dunworrythereisnosugar.wordpress.com

2009-06-22T17:06:00.002+08:00

i now officially have plastic-like teeth that are so straight tt they look fake. i like.

n am such a goon to just discover the wonders of BLEACH. saved 2 of my fav shirts...

looking forward to indian food on weds n CHINA. again.

2009-06-13T12:52:00.004+08:00

met up w huda n zx on mon... the long time no see ppl. had a long long chat at food culture n huda got updated w dramatic episodes frm zx's life. lol. still amazed tt such scenes actually happen in real life... n both of them said tt i've got a soft spot. throw in the right words at the right time into my indecisive mind n i'll agree to something then regret later... haha. guess it's pretty true. i'm impulsive n sometimes too concurring for my own good.

tues n weds - work n joan is FINALLy back!!! entertainment n lots of ghost stories (more funny than scary though)

thurs - went to zx's hse w sm n lw to watch movies. took stupid videos dedicated to zx on my hp while waiting for her to reach hm at subway... lw's idea. duh. then played name the veggies game out of pure boredom of waiting. the loser has to upload an ugly photo on facebk. n i lost. bt since the bluetooth doesnt seem to be wrking... i guess tt my ugly photo is gonna stay safe inside my hp :D also, lw w her "pwr of influence" inherited frm ty managed to persuade sm to go dye her hair. haha. sm's super paranoid over the results. lw n i got our own dye too...

played w zx's neice n nephew + hair-dying session + watched "the uninvited" n i had to leave halfway even though i live only a few blocks dwn cos of my STUPID CURFEW which is apparently getting shifted up earlier n earlier. ridiculous!!! i'm not some 12 yr old kid for goodness sake... pissed pissed pissed. it's not like i'm some rebellious kid who hangs out w bad company... so i've decided tt i'm going for my july holiday no matter wat!!! at least let me have the freedom to enjoy my holiday...

ysterday - printed perhentian photos... lotsa ugly ones. met up for waraku w lh later... then got sm n lw to join us for IT fair... lh's brilliant idea. i still dun think tt u're a shy person. lol. POPEYES' later!!! still thinking of the mashed potatoes...

to digress... pent-up feelings are so not the way to go....

2009-06-10T22:33:00.001+08:00

prison break is dope. wentworth miller is eye candy. n i got sm addicted. yays. 1 season down. 3 more to go...

2009-06-04T23:09:00.004+08:00

went to marina barrage on mon... pretty good place for picnics, kite flying, dumb photos n great location for waving to planes flying ovr. not bad :D

us loonies waving at almost every single plane flying over. haha. i like. wonder if the pilots can actually see us... hmmmm

the picnic... 2 umbrella obsessed loonies n 1 tan obsessed loony + food + dvds + a very very reflective laptop

muffins made by lw, meat patties (nice!) n almond jelly by sm, tuna sandwiches n super oily cereal lumps by me!!! the butter frm the cereal lumps were overflowing lo. i suck at making edible stuff. haha.

sm n lw r super uber concerned over getting 60 yr old skin due to sun exposure (n it all started w dear lw seeing tis woman on the bus w an ok face and back but horrendous 60 yr old arms. lol.) ... thus the obsession w the umbrellas n caps... n i'm the one obsessed w getting 60 yr old skin cos i want a tan!!!

meet the "i don't want 60 yr old skin" brolly ppl...

the initial plan was to pig out n watch dvds on my heavy lappie... bt my lappie is uber reflective as u can see... it's a total mirror la. cldnt even see my cursor properly... much less the movie...

the way to pass time... jumping shots! repeated over n over n over again... a bunch of jumping loonies. haha. luckily, there weren't many ppl ard... we're such lousy photographers

the one n only successful one. haha, pathetic...

my fav!!!

sm's fav past time of snapping random pics...

my huge picnic bag :D i like. esp since my sis was the one who paid for it

i hate this building design. think it's ugly... like some ancestoral tablets sticking out of nowhere...

not to forget the fav cheena touristy pic copied frm china...

headed to lw's hse after tt. finally got to touch lw's doggie w/o it biting me... bt it lasted for only a while. then it turned hostile again. must be the dementia. haha. watched ba wang bie ji. some chinese arts festival film i think. nice. gd for lit analysis. lol. still dun get the significance behind the goldfishes...

at the end of the day, i'm still abt the same color. no diff... sian

2009-06-04T09:55:00.006+08:00

visited peranakan museum last wk after finally finally making sm's specs. long long overdue. she's obsessed w thin lenses and thin frames. lol. n her specs are ultra cheap la. cheaper than my cheapo specs...

peranakan museum's real small n the exhibits are kinda limited. pretty straightforward... real apt place for pri n sec sch excursions. accounts for the whole bunch of students we saw there...

some of the exhibits...

the peeps...

the little kids... according to sm...

interestingly, the museum has a cat as it's mascot n of course sm loves the kitty

dumb photos... the dumb-photos-pro lw n a very stiff me. i suck at this...

sm's turn

lw eating the dumplings sm brought. totally dun dig dumplings n pork. dumplings are for "old" ppl. hahahaha. it's a very lao ren thing in my opinion... bt apparantly, sm n lw enjoy them a lot. lol.

something i saw on a vending machine at the substation near the museum. i like.

headed to lido for dinner n movie after tt. young victoria's just so-so...

took a photo of our bag buddies while waiting ard for the movie to start... soft toys in our bags. guess we're still pretty childish ppl. haha. n i like elmo ALOT!

Verner Panton

coincidentally bumped into someone frm my cold war debate grp who happens to be an intern there while lazing inside the exhibit below (n u need to sterilize ur hands n wear plastic feet-covers to get in) ... it's a colorful constellation of comfy "sofas". i like.

said hi to the interactive companions frm the spore hist gallery again. intensive. it's like another rd of hist hw. haha.

went to watch wolverine w lw today... not bad, w some dumb parts though... lol. shopping aftr tt n there goes our moolah. btw does anyone want to go to lw's hse to hang out? cos the key is now w me n timothy needs entertainment n feeding...

wanted to go to the kangxi exhibit at acm. bt the musuem was closed... so hopped over to esplanade. watched a pleasant performance by a local band at the concourse... the singer has really nice vocals and i like their ballads :) went on a water cooler hunt after tt... cos lw insisted tt she saw one inside the esplanade... she's "water-blind" n having hallucinations cos she's water-deprived. haha. settled dinner at the fabled glutton's bay... n guess wat! we saw the makansutra guru guy sitting at the VIP table covered w white table cloth amidst a sea of plain hawker tables n chairs...

what we drooled over - stingray + prawn omelette :))

n my sis finally got her acceptance letter frm smu!!! :DD

2009-05-03T11:55:00.003+08:00

mugging nightmare was finally over ysterday!!! as expected... screwed up my abnormal psych paper. no surprise. cldn't finish studying for the paper n tried to cram the whole txtbk into my puny brain within 2 hrs early early in the morning at 4 am. n i kinda forgt most of the stuff i studied the day b4. *screams* n my caffaine didnt help much either. super groggy. i HATE consecutive papers!!!

mon - cold war - going thru the motion. n panadol to the rescue.

tues - general bio - intensive flipping thru-out the exam. luckily it's open bk. or else i'll die a very horrible death

weds - buddhism - happiness. esp after seeing dr dubbois sitting bare-footed like a meditating buddha on a stack of excercise mats during the exam n post-entertainment by some joker who shouted "woo-hoo. exam is over!" at the back of the hall

thurs - hist of jap - happiness + plus really glad abt the impromptu prayer session my tutorial mate invited me to join. really elevated my mood

sat - abnormal psych

glad tt it's all over. groggy shopping w my sis in town after tt... even though i was uber sleepy, didnt want to go home. need to sustain the post-exam slacking tradition :D n i psycho-ed my sis into treating me lunch n buying me coffee n carrying my stuff. lol. it totally worked. hahaha. love going out with her. she's my second maria after my bro. n she wants to open dumb banana to rival mango. lol. her nonsense is real de-stressing.

time to get a job. get jealous over rongie n lw cos they'll be overseas. n lament abt the fully booked life drawing class. sian

2009-04-19T23:29:00.002+08:00

panadol extra just killed my headache today! my new savior. synflex can go live in the bin alrdy...

2009-04-15T11:11:00.002+08:00

cold war test tmr n i've only studied one lect... i'm still in sleeping gear. i really dread reading wk!!!

2009-04-13T13:19:00.002+08:00

i'm in tt darn dilemma again after finding out abt certain stuff... guess things are NEVER straightforward in black n white clarity. faith is never easy n disillusionment pervades like nobody's business. sucky. i really really need a holiday!!! maybe i shld just do first, tell later...

2009-04-10T21:38:00.003+08:00

watched this production by w!ld rice ysterday... GREAT GREAT GREAT!!! totally worth my 46 bucks n 20 cents. every single penny. entertaining, hilarious, witty n gorgeous gorgeous staging. nt to forget mr algernon eye candy + cucumber sandwiches served to the audience + the prim n proper english accent which evidently required lotsa saliva to articulate. haha. tot the actors brought across the text really well though it was an all male casting - really got one to look beyond gender roles, the black/white victorian themes... n surprisingly, the play didnt come off as gayish... n Tang quartet also played on the set :))) a very very impressed n satisfied me. am now in love w the word "bunburyist" n algy's fictional Bunbury character. want my own bunbury character too so i can go bunburying away... oh. n someone in the audience asked tis one very controversial qn during the dialouge session: "Who in the cast is gay?" lol. i am so going to watch another w!ld rice production!

2009-04-05T17:23:00.008+08:00

the all-in-one post...

mon - the usual food outing... chris n i n sushi buffet at suki. got pang seh-ed by lw n von cos one overslept n the other needed to go hm to slp...

somebody gt overambitious n ordered a whole lot of sashimi... n i had to help finish up :( sick sick sick. so full tt there wasnt space for the much anticipated lido popcorn

just a portion of the food we ordered

what we did to the leftovers

twelve rounds after buffet.

tues - dug for buddhist socialism essay sources

weds - went for dental + con't to dig

thurs - chionged the essay

fri - submitted tt hateful essay. yays! watched departure at ps after sch w sm, lw n zx. really really GREAT movie!!! liked it a lot. bt sm n i were late for more than 30mins for the show. such a waste. watched the other 3 eat my fav indonesian food while i ate my pathetic carrotcake after the show cos i had aching teeth. sad. then, dumb photos...

late supper after dinner. rocher beancurd + long long chat

reached hm at ard 2 30 n got scolded... my mum said tt they're sun you

sat - went out w rl n corina for shokudu. confessions of a shopaholic after tt. to corina, my "name" varies according to the color i wear - from black ahyi to brown ahyi. lol. she's real cute

today - did something tt was uber unlike me. woke up at 6 30 for a run at macRitchie reservoir. n of course it was my dad's idea. my sis n i gt dragged into it... ran abt 5 plus km + walked the treetop walk n back = 10 plus km. i can't believe we actually did tt. lol. met tis friendly mr slow n steady uncle during my run... kept asking me to con't running n to overtake him cos i paused twice when the trail was going uphill... he's darn fit la. even my dad gave up trying to overtake him. really enjoyed the treetop walk... had a mini family bonding session w my dad... cos we seldom talk much plus entertainment frm my nonsensical sis who walked backwards all the way downslope. nice :) the roti prata shop after tt to put the fats back on. maybe i'll do it again nxt sun. lol.

after the run...

my dad

me n my sis at the back. tried to get my sis into the pic bt she siam-ed. sian.

now all 3 of us have very nua legs...

my cousin came over to pass us her wedding photos after tt...

n attended my cuzzie's wedding on sat :D

the usual mon food outing as usual - Bosses tis time with von, lw n chris the nvr ending pit who ate too many xiaolongbaos AGAIN... all of us wore black especially for the ocassion. bt lw the red society spy just had to blow her cover by wearing her BRIGHT RED cardigan. we had a great time disturbing the waitress cos we kept paging her using the oh-so-convenient calling buttons. hahaha. then we started speculating whether we could da bao 1 xiaolongbao. so lame. guess we were the only bunch of kiddos in the restaurat self entertaining ourselves n laughing our heads off

n oh-yah! i saw tis lady holding a black hello kitty MAC ballon on the train... it was the exact one zx asked for at vivo. so technically... zx cld have got it la if she went to 'por' n sweet-talk the lady at the MAC counter more. hahaha.

2009-03-10T20:56:00.005+08:00

woke up early early for service on sun - gt reminded abt some stuff :D

celebrated rongie's bdae at Bosses later... nt suprisingly, all of us were late. dim sum at Bosses was heavenly, esp siew mai, chee cheong fan n mango prawns. drools. rongie: drools even more. still dun tink custard bun is tt nice. must be the vomit inducing custard buns i ate in hk - something like aversion therapy. hahaha. bt sm likes it a lot. too bad photos were not allowed at the restaurant bt service was gd... n we got a slice of cake at bakerzin to surprise rongie!!! oooooooohhhh, n there was tt hello kitty collection launch for MAC at vivo... hot bod male models w hello kitty heads. lol. n we dared zx to go ask for a hello kitty ballon on display for free!!! she was pretty enthu abt it lo. bt cldnt get one :(

2009-03-05T19:58:00.004+08:00

editing my contradictory Buddhism essay now to "un-contradict" it... n i'm sooo stuck. sucky. I WANT TO SLEEP!!!

chionged 2 tests + 2 essays + citations due tis week = ultra zombified me. was so sleepy n spaced out tis morning tt i didn't even think of looking out for cars when crossing the road on the way to sch. walked straight into the path of a lorry. luckily the uncle stopped in time... heng. must be all tt mugging for abnormal psych la. caused my brain to function abnormally n cost me my slp... bt cold war n psych tests weren't too bad... n despite von calling the day b4 to say tt we cldn't "play" w chris during the 4hr break today cos we needed to mug for psych test, we ended up "playing" half our break away. lol. we are so FOCUSED!!!

my week...

mon - xiao long bao at ding tai feng w chris n von after sch. von n i ate till buay tah han. n tis was wat chris ate - lotsa xiao long baos, siew mai n beef noodles. gosh. the never ending pit. n he nvr fattens up. by right, we shld be mugging for cold war n the buddhism essay. then my boss called me later in the evening to do citations to be handed up the nxt day at 8 am... was planning to mug la! oh. n most imptly, i KICKED mr silly's slippers

tues - mugged for psych

weds - mugged for psych + cold war

thurs - sleepy blockhead + survived 2 tests

i wonder wat's up for the nxt mon trip... hmmm. btw, xiao long baos are out of the qn!

2009-02-26T09:56:00.002+08:00

lw singing happily!!! lol.

start of the dumb photos mania suggested by ty

the emotions... i'm supposed to look fierce n angry bt i'm totally not... cos i'm nice n i suck at acting. hahaha

as usual, lw's the pro w her ultra elated pose

contemplating on our superhero poses...

ultraman, batman, superman, mian bao cao ren/power ranger??? n spiderman

the supermodel pose...

the snakey pose... gs totally doesnt noe hw to take photos lo... sm's hands got cut off. luckily, dun think he took many photos on his hp to upload to facebk tis time. hahaha.

js n ks' compromise... they refused to do the ballerina pose. so not accomodating. so they gave us tis... lol.

went over to jp to shop after k... sm had to leave for proj meeting. lw n i got pedicures... pinky toy nails. i kinda regret choosing tt color, looks weird on my feet. not fair enuff... rongie bought her chio bag n ty bought her too pretty-to-write-in (in my opinion) diary... porkie overload later at ding tai feng w ty n rl. n of course it's rongie's idea. i am sick of xiaolongbao after tis prokie overload episode...

concentrated sour plum juice

the xiaolongbaos...

n the xiaolongbao-wannabes which are actually siew mais

my wantons

rongie's wanton noodles

ty's dang dang mian

these are the causes of my guilt ): to be exacerbated by the skirt i bought ysterday cos my sis bribed me to acc her to town to get her phone repaired n the cake i'm going to get later for my mummy... i'm such a bad daughter cos today is the day by which i'm finally aware tt my mummy's bdae falls on 17 feb. i've been living in oblivion for the past 21yrs n 2 plus mths nt knowing when's my mum's bdae... b4, we wld just pick a "random" day in feb to celebrate my bro's, mom's n dad's bdae all at one go... practical huh. we're the anyhw family. lol.

2009-02-16T15:48:00.003+08:00

today
had general biology lect... more or less sec sch bio stuff. i like. tot the lectuter was pretty cartoon. took a whole bunch of plants to lect for demo... specimens include a really huge, more than a metre long palm tree leaf; some random pandan plant (which he suggested cld be a potential v day gift); n an array of other random plants just for laughs. lol. bet his office is like some forest... glad i took tis module though i had some reservations at first. not as boring as i tot... the best part is tt those who have A level or H2 bio backgrd are BANNED n it's OPEN BOOK!!! woo-hoo

hong kong trip

alrdy feeling kinda lazy typing tis post cos it's gonna be looooooooong... in the "nua" mood these days. haha.

HONG KONG = dumpling noodles + maggie mee + congee + spending (esp exp accommodation) +lotsa walking n aching kneecaps!!!

day 1

on the plane... 4 hr ride, budget airline where we got to enjoy the difference. lol. uber boring... so came the stupid photos...

meet our fav lonely planet AGAIN. compact size.

wat i can survive on... hershey's dark choc

rongie

on the ferry from macau to hk... 1 hr ride. both lw n rongie felt nauseous although i felt tt the ride was pretty comfortable. comfy enuff to slp. lol.

on the taxi on the way to mingle hotel in tsim tsa shui. the taxi uncle had no idea how to get there. rongie had to call hotel reception to give directions. cos so happens, the hotel is hidden up a VERY STEEP slope in a teeny corner

the slope leading up to the hotel. the pic doesn't do justice to the actual steepness lor

room 901

our techohotel room. real small. 3 of us had to squeeze into a queen sized bed. rongie cldn't slp on the first nite cos i "coped" her sleeping space. paiseh. didn't noe tt i slp slanted. lw told rongie to just push me back into place if i did it again. lol. n the bathroom glass was TOTALLY nt frosted enuff. can practically see movements inside the bathroom from the outside. scary. no privacy at all. reminds me of communal in thailand...

in the very small elevator which i guess can squeeze only a max of 4 ppl

went to tis very old shop selling YUMMYLICIOUS dumpling noodles recommended by a random very friendly passer-by whom rongie asked for directions... i miss the prawn dumplings A LOT! n they still serve coke in a bottle!!!

the very very narrow building. abt less than 3/4 the width of a normal HDB column

at kam sheung to hunt for the hakka village recommended by lonely planet. super hard to find cos it's so ulu n very little ppl noe abt it. had to take a very windy taxi ride to reach kam sheung n walk quite a bit to look for the very discreet village. bt it was totally worth the effort!

i dunno y, bt rongie just liked the tree a lot. so we took a pic :D

the very amusing dino in an apron

cute

kat hing wai hakka village - my fav!!!

at the entrance of the village w the donation box

saw this really amusing phrase which sums up the gist...

The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want for nothing
He makes me lie down in the green pastures.
He greases my head with oil
He gives me kung-fu in the face of my enemies.
Amen.

oooooo... my alrdy kena sai cap which is begging to qualify for a honors thesis dropped again. haha. shld hav procrastinated in checking results so i can enjoy the happy holidays a bit more... i noe i'm delusional la.... kinda depressing to see a big fat C for sea which i hav'nt seen for a long time since genes & society. dwn right yucky. seems like i shld take mods i down right HATE! n think will most likely do badly - like economic transformation of sea, mil hist n esp esp esp why hist to get my As. uncanny rite...still, feel a teeny bit happy tt i did A LOT better than expected for mil hist. n i noe someone else feels the same too (cannt blame me for dragging u into this mod alrdy hor. u gt ur A k) farrell didnt slaughter us!!! yays! bt i'm still gonna sell the txtbk!

2008-12-22T18:40:00.003+08:00

back from hong kong/macau ysterday!!! not bad, bt not as fun as i tot it wld be cos i'm not satisfied w the shopping!!! it's just winter wear n winter wear all ard n exp branded stuff, at least the food made up of it. hahha. i miss my dumpling noodles n eggy "bubble wrap" alrdy!!!

ysterday was one heck of a day... woke up at 7am to catch the morning flight back n landed at ard 2 plus... slacked ard for a while when i reached hm b4 going to dorothy's bdae party. freaking a lot of ppl n she told me she invited like only half of the peeps she knew. lol. then my colleague msged me to cover her overnight shift cos her mum's in a&e... kinda reluctant cos i was super tired n its been ages since i've wrked at the clinic. very scared i give wrong medicine can. summore i'm wrking alone n midnight patients are usually cranky... bt agreed anyw cos she cldn't find anyone else. luckily the shift turned out to be just fine except for tis longy windy lady who kept asking me the same qn over n over again. almost dozed off towards the end of my shift. TIRED!!!!!! so basically... went w/o sleep for one whole freaking day frm 7 am ysterday till 8am today which is torturous for a pig like me... i need 13 hrs of slp. still feeling uber sleepy now even though i managed to sleep till 4pm today... shall upload the hk photos soon n start a new hongie kongie scrapbook! yays!

sm's olio olio

lw n i ordered pasta w shitake mushrooms n fried chicken

the peeps who made our cards

zx n i ...

the back of our cards... i drew the chicky, the yin-yang n the girl w too little hair. haha.

then the cafe peeps suddenly changed the music to a birthday song... think they saw our cards. lol. got me laughing non-stop cos it was so abrupt, so sudden n so zi-dong. n they kept repeating the song over n over... almost had laughing cramps. bt it was so sweet n thoughtful. tt's y i said tt their service was real gd. even gave zx FOC ice cream. haha.

lw n her usual funnie faces...

walked to esplanade later... talked abt sec sch days, kay-pohed n asked random qns like cohabitation. realized tt lw n i were kinda oblivious to things which happened during band... the friction, politics n stuff. haha. it seems like sm's the only one who rmbs. guess we were juz blindly n mayb blur-ly swimming our way thru sec sch... also, zx updated us w lotsa interesting stuff. she's always the one who knows all the stuff tt we don't... we shld hav more of tis. yay?

missed the last bus hm so decided to pop by bkt timah for supper. yays! i got to go home late. such a waste tt the indian-muslim stalls were closed. was super craving for neslo-peng. ended up in hk cafe for more chit-chat. n zx ordered hm-made barley which tasted really really weird.

sm trying to straighten out the ribbon on my card... so tt it wldn't end up like the cards i make (my cards always have stuff falling off. hahaha)

sm's milk tea

zx's constipated face. lol.

cabbed hm after tt. forgot to take off my contacts though i kept reminding myself... juz heard frm lw/ zx tt if the eye is deprived of oxygen, blood vessels will accumulate ard the area n the lens will keep slipping off cos it can no longer adhere... scary. rmbed taking out my contacts casing n pouring solution into it... bt apparently, i left the lenses on. must be too darn tired.

2008-12-08T22:47:00.024+08:00

the ceremony...

the guy in red is from rom... my niece kept giggling n commenting abt his unglam nose hair sticking out from his nostrils while he was initiating the ceremony... trust her to do tt...

exchanging rings...

so young addicted to mahjong...

n my sis was the culprit who started the auntie mahjong session...

my niece (the baby torturer) messing ard w her sis' baby, making him do stupid actions. lol.

my bdae

went to eat dim sum at crystal jade. think my suggestion was kinda lao. cos i realized tt the ppl dining in crystal jade were mainly families w grandparents. bt i was craving for congee n my ah-mah went w us anyw...

my parents... the soon-to-be senior citizens. lol. seriously tink tt they're getting old alrdy. esp my dad w his lao hua yan glasses...

then came reading week...

pure torturous mugging... so tt's when all the dumb stuff started... studied in je libr w lw, n in due course... made 2 dumb videos w my hp titled "mugging" n "bloody ice lemon tea" plus some cheesy pics

lw n the precious "the defence and the fall of spore" farrell book

tried out lw's specs...

the most beloved bk of tis sem "btw 2 oceans" which i'm so gonna sell...

somewhere towards the end of the exam period, studying for europe of dictators... we digressed n ended up w an uber long lunch at sc center mac's n checking out stuff there... the sc center shop has some real interesting stuff

n was totally surprised to see a dino at the entrance. got sound effect some more... so took cheesy photos

the zoo

went to there w lw n sm after exams cos lw cld get us free entrance... it's been ages!!!

1st stop: meet winnie the tiger. all of them have such cute names like winnie n jippie. they're sweet n dun bite :D n like wat lw says... "Rrrrrrrrr"

the elephant show...

the other animals...

the ultra slack chimps which sm was super fascinated abt.... reminds me of kopitiam uncles... gd life. i wana join their slack club

the other winnies which dun bite :D

winnie the croc

n the savage cutie winnies...

2008-12-02T22:25:00.004+08:00

finally the torturous period of exams is over n i have time to blog! more importantly... i now have time to SLEEP!!! :DDD as usual, spent my bdae mugging... bt to make it up, attended xl's awesome bdae party which was held on my bdae! hahahaha... thx a lot for the surprise church peeps n xl for sacrificing part of ur party for the surprise... really really appreciate it! :)

reflections on my papers:

1) military hist - kinda cannot make it... totally didnt have the mood to do my 2nd qn, wrote a whole bunch of incoherent stuff without much thought or argument. just to go thru the motion... plus farrell's so strict! surely slaughter me. lol.

2) mkting sea's heritage - so-so... hope there's a thick enuff cushion :X n i'm so glad i took a gamble by targeting mainly on 4 out of 10 lects... or else i'll really be dead meat. plus my last min decision to bring in theming and taming places saved me :D

3) forensic - was in a cranky mood due to the lack of sleep... plus irritated by the noisy guy behind me n the many mistakes in the exam paper. dun really think i'll do well since i crammed 13 lects at one go the day b4 the exam... ewww. ewww. ewww.

4) europe of dictators - my fav paper!!! wrote 3 freaking booklets = 23 pgs, the most i've ever written. my only hope for an A... pretty pls pls...

5) cybercrime - the most slack module so far... strongly RECOMMENDED! most likely a B... w the computing students n all...

looks like my hope for cap 4 is kinda remote unless the cushion is really really thick n bouncy (which i doubt so...) juz hope my cap goes on an upward trend or else i've to reconsider yr 4...

manhattan today! yays, finally! hahaha, u CAN'T threaten me with it anymore SIB :D

2008-11-14T16:40:00.002+08:00

tt dARN court martial is like never ending. even though it's like so-called over after tut on weds... it has been transplanted to the ivle forum... court martial is still VERY ACTIVE n in session there. yucks. bet everybody's freaking sian abt it alrdy. NEVER EVER going to take mil hist again!!! or any of farrell's mods though i admit tt he can really scrutinize very well which can be gd in some ways... bt it's kinda far too demanding given tt i always procrastinate... tis is like the most hiong end-half of the semster i've ever had

yays!!! my grp a.k.a poor field marshal wavell, gt slaughtered during court martial today. hahaha. no affidavit to refer to, plus can't rmb... anyhw whack man... n we gt interrogated for half an hr. the longest... lol.

cybercrime test today wasn't too bad. do-able... one mod down! glad i took it :) cos it's non-examinable, tests aside... just tt the median grade is kinda high. really hope tt the modulus qn tt i tyko-ed is correct. haha.

2008-11-10T11:21:00.003+08:00

went for From Russia with Love at the conservatory concert hall on sat w xl since he had free tix to spare. yays! thx again! though the conservatory is within sch compounds, sua gu me has nvr stepped foot into the place b4. n i dressed tooooo casually in a tee + jeans + slippers thinking tt since if i cld obscurely pass off w it at VCH, i cld pass it off here too... so dead wrong lor. almost everyone was dressed quite formally, esp the russians. bt, heck. it's the music i wanna hear.

the interior is freaking nice!!! n the grand piano!!!

really enjoyed the pieces, especially Bottesini.... n i am impressed the range of notes they can cover n the speed they can play. seems like peanuts to them... the best i've seen since the concerts i've been to so far are SSO ones. really liked Alexander Souptel on the violin. he's a real entertaining player w his funny antics. lol. n his lai tou bu xiao ok... concertmaster of the state symphony orchestra of the USSR ministry of culture and he won the "honoured artist of Russia" medal (cited frm the pamphlet... lol. hist has gt me obssessed w citations)...

studied w lw at je libr on sun... definitely more productive then me getting distracted at hm.

n my cuzzie's ROM this sat. yays! another wedding dinner to attend soon :))

2008-11-07T13:06:00.003+08:00

yays! i love my eu lecturer. he's so nice. firstly, he extended the assignm deadline. then he decided tt he'll giv us lect notes when he said he wld nt at first, considering the stress n wrkload we'll have during this period of sem. deadline for mil hist critique has been extended too... bt cld hav been more helpful if he announced it earlier instd of ysterday. gt me staying up late everyday since mon till 3am just to chiong proj n critique... still had to force myself to do my assignms even though i had a real bad headache n nausea on weds... if i had known, i wld hav been slping on my nice comfy bed alrdy -__- bt a least nw i can slack for a teeny little while for the time being...

and my sis commented tt my eye bags have double-chins... sian.

2008-11-05T12:04:00.002+08:00

i'm so darn sick of not getting enuff sleep!!! sooooooo feel like switching off now. my week so far sux...

ok. real good news (dripping with lotsa sacarsm). my lappie n desktop have officially konked out AT THE SAME TIME when i'm pressed with assignments and a project to hand in this thurs. and both are not even one-quarter done. how great is that!!! at least there's some solace on the fact that my mum left her company lappie at home for me to exploit. bt i want my lappie and my itunes back!!! now, the assignments are gonna haunt my dreams till thurs. sleeeeeeeeeeepy.

2008-11-02T16:41:00.008+08:00

to digress... my bro is recently overly obsessed w styling his hair every night b4 bed. i'm so sick of him asking me to comment on his chicken-head hairstyle. it's gonna be messed up anyw when he slps. so wat's the pt!!!

it's been a long long long time...

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Psalm 23

2008-10-21T13:30:00.002+08:00

had tut at NUS museum ysterday. worth the visit!!! esp love the contemporary art section on the 2nd level... made me miss the art lessons i used to have. such a waste tt the museum has been left dormant on campus cos nt many ppl visit it, much less know abt it. n it's free admission summore. haha, shall try to visit it more frequently if i can find someone to acc me :)

celebrated lw's bdae last sun at marina kbox. most of us were kinda surprised tt lw suggested k. lol. tot gs wld always be the enthu one to suggest it. the guys came prepared to sing k armed w their materials engineering tuts... -_-" hahaha, they totally became "revolutionized" aftr army. amazing!

time to get started on my fieldtrip assignm. my aim is to finish it by thurs! so tt i dun hav to go back to sch early to submit. planning to cut n paste some parts of my old jap imperialism essay :))))) HAPPY!!! saves my brain juice. n my eu of dictators lecturer is sooooooo NICE! he postponed the essay deadline so i have the whole wkend to do it!!!

2008-10-19T19:47:00.003+08:00

ok. i juz wanna complain to get it out of my system. why must it have to be COURT MARTIAL!!! i'll be perfectly happy as some kopitiam uncle in coffeeshop talk and avoid writing an affidavit. seriously... bt who knows whether there'll be some drama-mama n heated debate on the day of the "court session" itself. lol.

2008-10-10T11:34:00.001+08:00

oh man, i've been thinking about lots of useless stuff nowadays n it's affecting my sleep... this is so very random...

2008-10-07T21:15:00.002+08:00

fieldtrip on sun was crazy... the lecturer made us walk thru the mangrove swarm, mud, one weird crab-like creature w a straight tail n who noes wat. no wonder he told us to wear shoes. at least von came prepared: shoes + diff types of mozzie repellent + aloe gel. had to cross a real narrow n slippery bridge to venture deeper... got out super dirty n sweaty. then had to go to a couple of other ulu places, climb slopes n stand under the hot sun to hear him rattle on... so far, liked kranji memorial the most! real tranquil n nice landscaping... real great place to study in my opinion... dropped my one n only pencil there, hope it's happy lying ard on carpet grass w the dead. lol. BUT, at least i found out tt i only have to do one fieldtrip essay instd of 2!!! heng. by the end of the trip, lw was one red lobster n i got weird tan lines on my arms... one more fieldtrip on sat to go...

waited in sch like a goon for 2 hrs for my 4pm tut yesterday. in the end, there wasn't any. tt's for not paying attention - goes to u too, von. haha.

2008-10-04T11:25:00.002+08:00

forensic mid term ysterday was REAL sucky. found out just only ysterday tt there wld be NO mcqs at all, only short ans. so much for chiong-ing thru my lects w a mcq mindset. as usual, my compressed brain cldnt take in the specifics... stoned for quite a while at the start of the paper cos my mind was blank, cldnt list the withdrawal symptoms of heroin, rmb the names of the drug tests (much less hw to spell them) n arghhh!!! the ever hated probability qn came out **plus the person behind me was 'wah kau'-ing thru out the test. really gt on my nerves** mayb it's all the last min-ness n late night essay-ing the past whole wk tt's making my brain malfunction. looks like it's time to S/U!!!

n my old navy stuff arrived!!! gt it frm lw on thurs. really really luv them :))

field trip at 8am tmr... so very early. hope i can wake up. n say hi to lotsa walking, mosquitoes n a field trip report on "Is there any point to studying the battle of Singapore island in Feb 1942? Why or why not?"

2008-09-28T14:15:00.000+08:00

A broken spoon may become a fork. worth considering...

2008-09-26T13:13:00.013+08:00

getting officially started w sewage pipes and soviet hist. interesting huh? read ard 10 plus jstor articles abt the research topic n my head is still swimming ard w the vast over saturation of information. as usual, i chose something tt was more literal n social in content - therefore, "the hist of our sewage disposal system" from The Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn. so at least, i'll enjoy doing my research paper. haha.

this bk is a freaking 1850 pgs!!! 3 massive volumes divided into 7 parts.

gt the kushinbo n mid autumn photos frm ty...

Kushinbo
nice food w considerable variety n the ambiance is nt bad...

this, is ty's saucer... ginger, soy sauce w a lots n lots of wasabi

perhaps one-quarter of the food we ate...

the best part is still the dessert n choc fondue. sugars are my fav :))

rl's uber cute niece, Corina something something. her full name is uber loooooooooong. her mum's chinese n her dad's sri lankan mixed portugese... i think. blah blah blah n the list goes on. i'll just put her in the ever popular sporean racial category, to simplify complicated stuff - Others a.k.a Eurasian. n this little girl speaks eng only, we cldn't force mandarin out of her. lol

this, is mainly what she ate for lunch. haha. choc junkie!!!

her fav close-eyed photos...

closed.

and still closed...

her sunkist commercial. irresistibly adorable!!!

ty, corina n rl

ty ("the baddie") decided to disturb her... paparazzi style

supposed to have some photos of _ _ here... bt _ _ asked me to remove it. lol.

corina insisted on taking our photos. so we entertained her with...

her fav close-eyed photo... so very blurrr

and stupid faces...

we are real good babysitters!!!

Mid-autumn the following day at bbp park...

free swissotel mooncake...

the peeps...

start of stupid photos mania copied frm the jap magazine... real embarassing bt fun. it's hardwrk taking these photos man. need for adjustments n repeated shots. the jap models made it look so easy n natural. our poses were so stiff n unnatural la. bt we tried our best. lol.

2008-09-23T23:18:00.004+08:00

went for dental today... sucky!!! more stuff in my mouth nw. 2 molar rings cutting into the insides of my cheeks + 2 flat buttons in addition to my alrdy elevated upper jaw. nw i speak even funnier than before. sounded like daffy duck when i told the nurse to change my appt date. embarassing... n eating is nw a chore... eating even slower than b4 :((

went to town in the late afternoon to help lw choose a prezzie for her mum. lw was the one who suggested shopping... bt i ended up spending money again. bought a tee n a leather cuff. lw bought some korean chicken marinate. lol. think she's into sauces.

and, not to forget... ASSIGNMENTS, ASSIGNMENTS, ASSIGNMENTS which i have no freaking idea on what to write

2008-09-21T14:02:00.003+08:00

think i'm becoming more n more of a night owl. ultra sleepy in the day n my brain only starts functioning at night. this is so NOT good. i need my caffeine dose!!! practically wasted most of ysterday slping... went for supper at night w dor. it's been a long long time :) went to her hse later to check out her nail polish collection... realised tt i really suck at painting other ppl's nails. lol. n amazingly, though i slept at 4am ysterday, i woke up super early (according to my standards) today at ard 10 plus! think it's time to tune back my body clock to early nights + late mornings w brunch.

currently, my ipod is in a cranky mood. totally nt responding... pls dun end up like my motorola...

2008-09-16T18:41:00.003+08:00

kushinbo last sat w ty, rl n her adorable niece. exp buffet!!! didnt want to go at first, bt thx to rl's constant psychoing n "threats", went in the end. nice food plus rl's niece is real cute... likes to take closed-eyed photos, teach us the mickey, minnie, daisy dance, principal wannabe of her kindergarten n best of all, she likes me!!! hahaha.

went to lw's hse on sun to celebrate mid-autum. zx n i went early to bake stuff bt in the end, gt lazy and ended up slping on lw's couch. lol. played ard w ty's fisheye n did stupid poses we copied frm some jap magazine. didnt really ti deng long... more of sparkles, bubbles, kpoh-ing abt each other, lighting candles along the curb n burning lanterns. lol.

and mid term break is nxt wk!!! bt it's partially ruined by uber long fieldtrips n assignments :(

2008-09-04T11:03:00.006+08:00

oh man. i luv tis song...

Violet Hill (cold play)

Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops i remember
There was snow
White snow

Clearly i remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below

When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low

If you love me
Won't you let me know?

Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And a fox
Became God

Priests clutched onto bibles
And went out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft

Bury me in honor
When i'm dead and hit the ground
A love back home unfolds

If you love me
Won't you let me know?

I don't want to be a soldier
With the captain of some sinking ship
With snow, far below

So if you love me
Why'd you let me go?

I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still

So if you love me
Won't you let me know?

If you love me,
Won't you let me know?

2008-08-04T20:45:00.006+08:00

+ok. sometimes i think tt my brain is in a nicely scrambled n wandering mess. so, sometimes i think, what the heck. dun feel like thinking anymore. :))

think my scrapbook looks fugly compared to those made by seasoned scrappers. bt still, like it a lot. mess + stupid drawings + comments + time spent = :D

the digression... asian civilizations musuem!!! luv luv luv musuems

2008-07-28T10:41:00.038+08:00

uploading photos on blogger is such a pain. takes like forever... n i only loaded a third of my photos frm my china trip.

the trip was pretty fun (minus the trips to buy silk, chinese medicine n tea), w some unintended excitement... tot lw n i were kinda adventurous. lol. thx to the precious lonely planet guidebk lw borrowed. lonely planet rox!!!

day 1 - at the airport...

yay! both of us, stuck tgt, taking one person photos for 8 freaking days!!! lol.

ty sent us off after lunch at the airport. n our tour grp had like a whole bunch of aunties n uncles... as expected. lol. took shenzhen airlines...

dinner on the plane...

by the time we reached nanning, it was alrdy night time...

n obviously, lw likes the bed...

n me too...

the balcony...

day 2 - had to wake up super early :x

went to nanhu park...

monument dedicated to someone during the cultural revolution i think, duno who... half the time, we cldnt really understand wat the tour guide, xiao gang, was talking abt. pretty sucky at chinese...

nxt stop, nanning exhibition n conference hall. weird!!! bt at least suzhou industrial park wasnt on our itinerary. start of the stupid photos mania...

interesting dustbin huh

like lw's pose. lol.

then we go round hugging stuff...

lw thinks tt she's a bonsai...

n i'm juz doing some stupid random pose...

lw's a happy prisoner behind bars...

i'm supposed to look like some depressed prisoner... bt i end up looking like i'm begging

yinzi cave!!! pretty! bt kinda artificial, with the rock concert lights, staging n all... very tourist-y

daily dose of sprite n guilin beer. nice!

day 3 - yangshou. nice stop-over place...

watched impressions of liu san jie... lw n i had a hard time figuring out who exactly liu san jie was, even after watching the performance. haha. anyw, both of us didnt intend to go for the performance at first, bt after the tour guide's persistent (n i mean REALLY PERSISTENT) psycho-ing n INTENSIVE promoting, we decided to go. say hi to additional commission, xiao gang. the performance was supposed to be part of the optional tour package. bt in the end, it was more of a compulsory thing. made us pay an additional S$100. we're poor little students ok.

bt at least the performance wasnt too bad. held on the river, with ard 600 performers...

went to west street later for some night shopping...

day 4 - yangshou/guilin

scenery at Li river... took a cruise dwn the river, really pretty!!! liked it a lot!

doesnt it look like a chicky?

stupid photos mania part 2!!!

copying ty's trademark style

i'm eating the mountain

superman!!!

mine is such a sucky imitation. haha

gone fishing

i'm carrying the mountains!!!

the typical tourist photo

birdy, lw n i

went thru tis small ancient town... really like it a lot!!!

molesting the horse's butt! yay!

scholar's stone! must touch! so tt both of us can become smarter!!! haha

dream like Li river

night scenery in guilin

day 5 - at yushan park i think... n another round of stupid photos mania

lw's brilliant idea - we got turned into stone froggies, like wat gs said. lol.

we're hugging stuff again

pond diving!!!

aftr tt, went for foot massage. weird experience. cos it turned out to be more than juz foot massage. bt then, the aunties n uncles liked it very much.

visited the pagoda to drink tea...

lw n her bamboos

the teahouse in the pagoda

view frm the pagoda

day 6 - cruise dwn duno wat river. haha

stupid pose we copied from some tourist photograph... n one of the aunties copied us again. lol

elephant trunk hill. looks nice here, bt the park is super UNDERwhelming. juz like wat lonely planet said. guilin is so commercialized. really spoils the scenery, buildings n all

at liu san jie cultural garden

cute benches

day 6 - back in nanning

we cooked maggi in a jug. lol

our hotel

our bus stop

day 7 - free n easy. both of us decided to head off for a western breakfast at jojo's place in the morning then make a trip to yangmei. spent ard 2 hrs walking under the hot sun bt we still cldnt find it. sad. ended up eating at coffee.milo. nice atmosphere n real nice mango ice drink:)

finally found guilin gao!!! it's in nanning, nt guilin, sad.

our fav china guide book!!!

hahhaha

our lunch

headed off to yangmei after lunch. yangmei's a rural village located at the outskirts of nanning. so, it's not as commercialized n artificial. both of us caught the 3:30 bus. we were like the odd ones out cos the whole bus was filled with villagers only. no tourists. had the dustiest n bumpiest ride ever. halfway thru the trip, us noobs realised tt we were on the last bus to yangmei w no bus back to nanning. n our flight's the nxt day. so if we dun get back to nanning in time, we're stuck in china. ohoh. gt panicky, so asked the bus driver to stop the bus when we saw a van driving in the opp direction. both of us practically ran after the van, hoping to hitch a ride back to nanning. luckily, the ppl in the van were REAL NICE. drove us to jiangxi village n gt someone there to bring us back to nanning. as predicted by dear lw, we gt back just in time for a late dinner at mac. lol. real scary n eventful huh. so, in the end, we didnt go to yangmei though we were juz 3 mins away when we got off the bus. bt still, both of us shall INSIST tt we DID go to yangmei in our own lalaland. so here are the pics.

photo taken somewhere near yang mei. the scenery on the way there was real serene n genuine

our dinner aftr trip to yangmei

lw's imitating the pose on the mac cup. lol

day 8 - posted a postcard back to spore from china. another of lw's brilliant ideas :D

here's wat we got at the end of the trip...

horrendous mosquito bites for lw. she has like 18 of those on a single leg

slight tan n pedicure

gonna make a travalogue w the photos. n both of us r so gonna make sure tt the pics from yangmei r part of it. gonna draw us riding ox-carts round yangmei

2008-07-18T22:49:00.002+08:00

off to china tmr!!! yipee! i'm retarded. the holiday fever hasn't really caught onto me even though the trip is tmr... haha. stuck w lw for 8 days.

2008-07-13T13:10:00.002+08:00

once sunk, it's difficult to get "un-sunken". if there's such a word... n it's difficult to un-do what's been done. haha, bet nobody knows what i'm rambling about. but still, don't ask.

module preference has been bugging me... no idea what modules to dump there. trying real hard to stick to southeast asian hist. contemplating btw:

1) film and history which is a 4hr straight lect!!! but but but, with NO EXAMS

and...

2) singapore's military hist. which i didn't even know cld possibly exist... i mean, hw military-like cld spore's hist actually get considering the "many" wars actually fought.

long long long wrking day for me tmr. covering a night shift at the clinic aftr wrk. it's gonna be damn shagged!!!
