new layout! yup, it's the usual monochrome colors. i get sick of bright, colorful stuff really fast. :o

anyhow, ive gotten this text from both peggy and jacyln and it got me wanting to swear by this so called motto,

'life is short, break the rules, forgive and forget quickly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile'

i tend to overdo on the 'laugh uncontrollably' part. HAHA.

what have you got planned for the countdown? share!

p.s layout's still a little screwed in terms of alignment, help!

last day of the day; last post of the year. hah

short update cos im already zonked out an hour ago. and conclusion of 2008, for anyone, everyone, anywhere, everywhere, disastrous with a capital D. all the natural disasters, credit crunch blah blah, and my 2008 havent been good either. shant put hadnt since i might totally strike 4D later in the day if i were to buy one. havent tried, yeah noob. im never had much luck with numbers soooo, i shall save the money for my shopping list.

so there's nothing about 2008 thats memorable, zilch. omg, my stomach just growled twice. what is this man? 2 more kg. anyway, i was telling rachel and wan tou that ive lived through another year for nothing. how sad is that.

BUT somehow, 2009 seems, promising. (:

monday bluesss cos i couldnt sleep the night before and i think i only managed to do so at arnd 3am. i didnt dare to look at the time else i'd be really tempted to get up and watch the tv or smth.

soooo, first day of the 2nd term (i guess thats what it's called) and im currently going through the 10000th pimple outbreak. thank god those big bumpy ones are on my head. they hurt like #$@^ but at least i wont have to see them in the mirror every single day.

and yes, im still pretty excited over the fact that a new year is approaching and moolahs will start rolling in. ive made up a new list of things to get and 80% are cosmetics related. list will be up soon-ish (for own reference and if anyone wants to get me smth for the 19th,hah).

uploaded some photos and a video of ethan but i realized i forgot to resize them so some other time!

i dont know why but i havent been feeling good these days. ive been trying very hard to find the right word to match my feeling(s) but couldnt. it's like smth's changing within me and erm, i dont know. there's this wave of emotions running through all at once and i couldnt quite handle them. (note: please dont come telling me 'oh you're too stressed' 'too many projects izzit' LOL-ing at me and all that shit.)

on the other hand, i kinda cant wait for 2009. new year, fresh start! ive got a couple of resolutions that i diedie have to abide by. the top of my list would be BE LESS BITTER about things, haha. second would be to be NICER as a whole (i.e. think before action, talk less listen more). oh and the third one would be to be more tactful. im becoming more and more direct and it's got to a point where i myself am actually pissed about it.

i dont know if anyone has ever taken me seriously but yeah, im learning to be more open with my feelings. evidence? refer to first paragraph. (: surprisingly, it feels okay-ish to do so. wait, do i actually look like im always 'happy' all the time (i mean other than those times when im pissed)? cos i think these are the only emotions im capable of expressing openly. hah.

2009's NY Resolutions (for now)

1) to less bitter
2) be nicer as a whole
3) be more tactful with my words

p.s actually, im already putting those resolutions into practice. ^.^v (okay, this emoticon is kinda a spontaneous thing)

merry christmas!

(okay, the green color's kinda bright. but well, im lazy to change it)

it's now the feative season, what with christmas, new year then CNY but yet, i feel strangely empty. -shrugs

oh and the best thing that happened today was seeing this text once i woke up, thats about it.

p.s i need to shop, badly.

Christmas Eve.

ought to be a good day since it's all grey and gloomy (yours truly's favourite kind of weather). BUT sleep quality was all time low last night, tsktsktsk.

anyhow, all i want for christmas is are AFE&P & YOU.

happy decoding!

yesterday

short update on yesterday.

karaoke session was pretty good, dinner was yummy, dessert was heavenly. but the shopping districts nearby were packed with last minute shoppers, no good no good.

p.s im very much mentally (and perhaps emotionally) drained. but no, im not gonna let myself go down just like that. \m/

finally got to satisfy the movie urge. basically, the movie is comparable to the book, it is the highlights of the book so i guess thats actually a good thing. shant talk about the book since i read it a few years back and everything dont seem as funny to me now. one of the horrors of turning into a/an (bloody boring) adult, gawd. so the guys in the movie were cute but most of them look underage (i.e. < 18 years old) to me. 4/5 stars!

anyhow, projects are overwhelming. i cant seem to finish them. but strangely, sleep quality improved tremendously for me. and i AM satisfied already.

though ive just seen ethan for 4 hours, i miss him already.

i look really ugly here but look how happy everyone was. ♥

i think i took this quiz before but i couldnt remember the results. so now i know im a Reliable Realist. it's very true to a certain extent, i guess it only applies to stuff that needs to 'die die' go by the books, i.e. school related shit stuff such as projects etc.

quite a lazy saturday today, weather was grrurgh. nothing much to post about, just that i'll have some rice balls later. happyhappy, bring on those carbo! i know ive been complaining about my weight. just so you know, my motto is 'eat now, fret later'. :D

p.s why cant NYP be normal for once and let us have a 3week break?

so yeah, i was at sentosa for say, 4 hours today. i reached vivo city on the dot. heh, im proud of my punctuality. seems like i do actually unknowingly 'choose' when to be late. ahh, if you know what i mean. then yen zhen arrived, followed by shereen. went over to have lunch at food republic while waiting for little miss (very) late.

so we took the (very packed) monorail thingy and started the 'hunt'. was hmmmm, unsuccessful but at least we got started so it's all good. baked in the sun while stopping over at coffee bean for a break. this was what i ate, i cant remember the name but well, it tasted okay-ish. definitely NOT worth it though.



thats yen zhen at the back (i mean, her monkey tee)



so we settled what we're supposed to settle (HAHA) and took the monorail back to vivo. yen zhen left for her kendo training while the 3 of us walked around. ive been wanting to visit vivo for agesss but we only combed the first level cos you know, time constraint. spent quite a while in f21, browsing, queueing for the fitting room etcetc. saw this cute lingerie but what the heck, it's either too big or too small. so im actually normal in terms of size in the bust department \m/

left vivo arnd 6pm with shereen and then i train-ed all the way home. okay, not really. i took a bus back from serangoon.

anyhow, i dont know why but im getting kinda excited over my upcoming 19th for no particular reason. i, for one, do not like hosting parties etc so one potential exciting activity down. two, i dont really celebrate in terms of partying or anything remotely interesting so another point down.

actually, im just excited cos other than the superficial wants which i will go and get them for myself once i have the moolah, i just have 2 really simple wishes for my 19th. they are completely achievable and i guess >70% of the effort lies in me.

yeah, so i just need some courage and strength for my 19th, nothing too hard aye? RIGHT.

note to self: formulate a list of wants!! (for personal reference)

p.s oh and i forgot to mention how the merlion totally freaked me out when i looked at it in the eyes. there's just smth about those pair of eyes. *shudders*

HAPPY 18th TO CHARMAINE!

dont-kill-me!

life's been pretty good with time well spent with family, friends and of course, some 'me' time.

i think im weird. i like to spend time with myself; eating, shopping or just plain walking arnd somewhere to kill time. seriously, i dont find it 'loner' at all. cos it's not about the quantity but the quality. yeah, you can be with a big crowd and still feel lonely. get my point?? ^

went over to hougang post office to collect my registered mail. i know it's supposed to be delivered to the door step but what can the postman do when he came too early and my sister, who was the only one at home, was sleeping? tsktsk.

so collected it and went over to town in the hope of coming back with some CNY clothes. dont start on me about being kiasu, hokay?? me being me, im both impulsive and indecisive (at different times of course) depending on the situation. soooo, i take perhaps twice the time in making purchases.

anyway, got one dress over at far east after ____ hours of roaming arnd. oh and the sun was merciless. i couldnt find any single unbrella at home, other than those big ones. okay, i know ive been dragging it long enough and now, i shall seek your(whoever who managed to read till here) help/opinion on what sunblock/sunscreen, whatever the term, is good. im very much acne prone so i'd need smth mild.

shall blog till here. am having msn conver with char, stanven and va. crazy bunch of peepo, i like! cant wait to meet up with them soon, but lm would be in taiwan by then :(

vanessa's number for us: 6389. so we went and bought this number for today's 4D.

sunday's 4D 3rd prize: 6399

WHAT THE. according to stanven, we could have won $10 friggin k. that could have meant arnd $2k each for everyone. @*#&#(#^ the money would have come in handy. oh well.

edit

i was walking to the kitchen to refill water when out of the corner of my eyes, i saw this big black thing. yes, it's a fucking cockroach. so i screamed and told my mum there's a cockroach so she screamed and my dad came out and got into action of disposing it. it was damn gross. all big, black and with wings.

/edit

560th post. okay, this is random.

shorter post here. so yesterday was the last day of school. was in the 'just get everything over with asap' mentality so i was basically counting down to 4.30pm.

2 weeks break now but no big deal since it equates to having school unofficially with the shitload of projects due next term (or whatever it is called).

anyhow, i just finished blogging over at livejournal (yesyes) and it's erm, 'friends only' for a certain reason so whoever who wants to read it please sign up for an lj account. it's really simple, you dont have to post anything there, just sign up will do. and for those who already have one, add meeee! (oh, it's crapfringe.livejournal.com)

HAPPY 18TH to Vanessa!

veryvery late post but well, better late than never.

FYI, she's standing along orchard road. ;D

i wanted to fabricate a nice short paragraph on this issue but i simply dont have the patience to do so. anyhow, what i want to say is, i hope the neighbour staying one level above gets struck by those gruesome illness triggered by smoking. better still, be triggered by >1 of them.

i know i'll prolly be halfway to hell by saying the above but well, it's pissing me off. try imagining, you were enjoying breathing in the 'clean' (at least cleaner than his breath) air and then suddenly without warning you breathe in his (*##^#%%# second hair smoke. on more than one occasion (whenever im home alone), i have this super strong urge to stand directly at the place where he was standing (just that im one level down) and ask him to fucking quit murdering us slowly with that stinky breathe. and im very sure one day i will do it. but on the other hand, what if he burns my house. HAHA.

i really have this thing against cigarettes. taking in,

(i) bad breathe or cigarettes? bad breathe

(ii) rubbish dump or cigarettes? rubbish dump

(iii) toilet smell (well, you know what i mean) or cigarettes? toilet smell

(iv) body odor or cigarettes? body odor

now you can see the degree of hatred. at least the above mentioned odors wont kill me.

p.s this post in typed in anguish cos i had just inhaled the heavenly scent moments before this entry. but i still stand my point on this. (:

lurbexz the weather, plus/minus the rain. so long as the temperature is <29 deg celsius, anything goes.

ethan day! although it was just lazing arnd, shifting things here and there, it was yet fulfilling at the same time. now that he's yakking all the time, that makes him cuter. shall let the pictures do the talking.





his one day old bag. when i said that the bag belonged to me and im gonna bring it home or smth liddat, his whole face scrunched up and he started crying (!!!).



air steward to be



>)



what's he looking at?



big helium balloons!

hmmmm, sounds very new to me.

wk 91, and im still where im left off.

too bad this isnt a suitable platform for expressing inner thoughts. i shall let dreams of ______ torment me, reminding me of my stolidity.

pleasepleaseplease dont associate this with me being emo, i hate that. im just doing some worthwhile reflection or let's just say im still regreting. other than this, all's well.

and on top of this, just a little bit broke. ;D

highlight of the day: 2mins of video call with ethannn! 'cheers', 'see you on sunday', 'bye bye'.

hopefully i get to see kyan as well. whoever who aspires to be a good mother/child care teacher, test your ability by taking care of them for half a day. oh and those who want to lose weight are welcome too.

i think ive posted this picture before but he looks so cute here,



love the complexion and smile >)

what a lovely weather (:

anyhow, someone asked me if i would let someone else copy my work (projects/tutorials/tests/whatsoever).

the answer is certainly, NOT.

before calling me selfish/stingy etc, hear me out:

1) copying tutorials are fine, duh.

2) once bitten twice shy. once, someone asked for a project for 'reference', then boom! saw some identical ideas in there, and i believe reference does not equate to copying. this brings me to another point.

3) so yes, you've copied but cant you just make up for your lack of originality by copying discreetly and rephrasing?

4) to me, work is work (or rather school is school), you dont mix personal with professional. i have no issues with you mixing them both, just tell your friend (the one who's gonna copy,tsk) to do it discreetly. im sure your group mates wouldnt wanna be in deep shit because of your folly.

bottom line is, do whatever you want but dont drag others into the ugly picture.

these points are all based on what ive experienced/heard/seen so yes, they happened.

oh and for those who like to make use of your friends and then claim credit for it, i dont care if your friend doesnt mind, but you're one thick skin _____. i believe since your friend can get the information off the www, why cant you just move your fat ass to the com and TRY harder? and dont tell me your friend doesnt mind you doing that, he/she does that so as not to feel bad and yes, you just took advantage of that.

p.s my spelling's going down the drain, time for some spelling lessons.

p.p.s speaking of that, my chinese is worse. i cant even write '黄' , when im volunteered to help yen zhen write it. how embarrassing.

i surprised myself by wanting to say the following sentence, school's pretty good today. partly, due to the fact that HRM ICA is over and done with. there, i just spoilt the first sentence a little. haha.

oh and we got back Biz Finance ICA 1 paper, hmmmm.

argh, im trying very hard to record why 'school's pretty good' today but i cant possibly list everything that we laughed about/at. but one thing's for sure, khrisha and __________ is woohoo! talk about chemistry. oh and i finally had mcflurry after one exact week of craving. sad to say, it didnt taste as good. this brings me to another point, sometimes when we crave for smth, we're actually just craving for the feeling of craving. do i even make sense here? it's like how they say some pple didnt actually fall in love (with another person), they just fall in love with the feeling of falling in love. in other words, they just like the feeling, it has nothing to do with the person, whatsoever.

im babbling AGAIN so thank you for reading and youve just wasted like 5mins of your time (1 min to read, 2mins to digest, 2 more mins to decide i dont make sense). shit, i need to stop typing crap.

happy wednesday!

p.s i can do without those fluctuations.

p.p.s i need to gorge on comfort food BUT i can feel my body parts flapping (pretty wildly) as i walk so NO FOOD.
