i finally read straits time PROPERLY after months... think the last time i finished reading everything was before i started work at UOB. as usual, i flipped to my favourite (and most useless) section of all - LIFE! nothing great except that hollywood is remaking another movie after infernal affairs (a.k.a the departed) and it starts my favourite actress jennifer aniston! will definitely watch it when it comes out although i had no idea what the movie is about except that the hong kong version stars DANIEL WU!

next, i read the forum. to my surprise, the A level result and university admission this year has caused a big hit. apparently a dad, whose daughter scored A, B, E and a C for gp got rejected by all 3 local universities and his dad is unhappy because to him his daughter's result should get her somewhere. of cuz MOE's spokesperson had something to say. he cited that NUS, NTU and SMU had increased their intake but he didnt reveal the exact number. please lah, increase 1 person also means increase leh. who are you trying to bluff? (speaking in a position of an angry and frustrated A level holder who got rejected by NTU and NUS)

i absolutely agree with Jayampath De Silva, one of those who commented on the issue. singapore's education is 'mercilessly meritocratic'. don't talk about my case. i can easily cite many examples around me who studied really hard, probably even harder than those who scored AAA and AAB but still got rejected. life in jc is already such a misery, such a torture. why still torture us after A's? i thought it should be over?

now i understand why singaporeans are migrating to australia. maybe i will someday if i am rich enough. i don wan my next generation to go through shit education like this. and a reminder to you, don give birth in the year of dragon.

okay, so today is vesak day which means HOLIDAY for me.. :) so happy. actually i have been cooping myself at home since last sunday, never really go out after work (except serious stuff). i went orh-nee-ing with the rest at chinatown, in a very throw-face manner cuz i was in fbt and triton tee completed with my specs. so many people there.. until by late afternoon i was like some mud. watched 50 first dates and it is still as sweet as ever... i forgot who i went with to watch the movie. oh, now ocean's 11 is showing. i got to go and savour the last moments of this holiday. tomorrow will be a better day :)

說你愛我

下著雨讓塵氣稀釋回憶
我靠著你不出聲音
看著你看著斑駁的甜蜜
愛你困住你也困住我自己

我那躲也躲不掉的微妙傷口
隱隱作痛
你那戒也戒不掉的甜蜜借口
也讓我精神腐朽

說你愛我變成一種問候
不如趁早放手
把愛墜落讓滿地鮮紅

說你愛我變成一種折磨
不用陪我走到最后
我承擔不起你的承諾

trivial~

do u think this verse, written by hebe,

說你愛我變成一種折磨
不用陪我走到最后
我承擔不起你的承諾

is answering to jay's 白色风车?

我背你走到最后 能不能不要回头
你紧紧地抱住我 说你不需要承诺

hohoho.. another spark of rumour is on the way...

monday, tuesday and wednesday were continuation from post-sunday blues.

i didn't talk to anyone in the family since sunday night. unhealthy i know but i also didn't know what to say. anyway the trip to SIM yesterday cost me $20 cuz i took a cab from toa payoh to hougang then to clementi all cuz i forgot to bring my IC. well, i chose accountancy (!!!!) and finance.. cuz xiu n kim choose that and i don't want to be alone in banking. =(

ok enough of depressing studies stuff. today at work was equally bad. morning was good.. until afternoon cuz i sent the wrong letters to customers. it is kinda a grave mistake cuz i typed the interest wrongly.. and my boss got so freaked out cuz the letter can be used to sue the bank.. wahseh i've never been so stressful for very long.. not even taking A's result la. hahaha.

crap.. i hope tml will be a better day.

did i tell u guys about the 50% sale at audiohouse? well, i went to the sale today and guess what! in order to get the 50% off, you have to guess the first digit of next wednesday's 4D then u will get the refund back. WHAT A SCAM! cheaters tt's what i call. but luckily the salesman was nice enough to point out that 'terms and conditions' out for xiu n me before payment if not i sure 100% sian diao.

ok lah. gtg. tml and friday will be the last day to decide if i need to accept SIM's offer. haha. bye!

ps: i slept at 8pm yesterday that's why i didnt reply some of your sms. i'm fine don worry i'm not that foolish to commit suicide. thanks for ur concern! :D

LAST FRIDAY AND SUNDAY WERE THE LOUSIEST DAYS OF 2007 FOR ME.

friday was supposed to be a celebration for mother's day until my sister bombed me so badly infront of my parents about university admission. seriously i am feeling lousy enough that i have not receive anything where people around me more-or-less know where they are heading to. i didnt tell my family anything about the university letters because i didnt want them to be worried but my sister keep rubbing comments like 'aiyah no university wants her lah her result too lousy' and 'all her friends got the letter except her lah. she cannot go anywhere lah'...

*blah blah blah*

i was so fed up because my parents were quite upset and worried when it is supposed to be a day of CELEBRATION. didnt she just contradict the occasion? i was extremely annoyed and just shouted her infront of everyone.

then it was sunday. 2 of my sisters were fighting over $500. it's a long story but in shrot, sis A is a part-time estate agent while sis B is buying a home with her bf so they asked sis A to keep a lookout. then finally sis B saw something pleasing to the eye and decided to give a deposit of $500. a few days later, sis B backed out for i-dunno-what-the-reason-is and obviously the deposit is forfeited right. however, sis B was asking sis A if she, as her own sister, can help to salvage part of the $500 but there's no conclusion so the conflict deepens. it got so bad that when sis B was eating her ben&jerry's chocolate ice cream and sis A wanted to have a bite, sis B asked her to pay $8 for the pint. later on, sis B asked sis A not to use any of her facial products (SK II or whatever lah) and buy on her own. reason being, she wants to keep track how long a bottle can last her.

you might think it is sis B's fault, but i think sis A is in the wrong too. why doesnt sis B let her eat/use the stuff? sis A has a very bad habit. she thinks 'more is good'. what i mean is, she think tt by applying MORE moisturer the skin will get better faster. wrong right? moreover, the moisturer is EXPENSIVE lah. who can tahan? she keep using and refused to fork out any money (or very seldomly). oh ya i forgot about another incident. we shared a massage package for our parents and i heard it cost $1.2k. as sis A earned $6k from her latest sale she told me she will pay 'half' for the package. when they were in the mist of quarrelling yesterday, i overheard the conversation that she paid 'half' of the package but she WENT for HALF of the session. clever huh? i paid $200 too leh.

but i was so sick to interrupte their duelling that i chose to sit there and not move. but what a night it turned out to be. my dad asked for some help and sis A and B refused to move, neither do i cuz i was watching man u's trophy lifting. then i got scolded so badly by my dad.. i know he was angry and upset that none of his daughters 'entertained' him.. hai.. i cried myself to sleep last night... haiii =(

then it came this morning, work was BAD... everything wasn't right and my colleague was not very pleased with me. not that i care but i think i brought some inconvenience to her. damn the stupid lazy clerk.. SHIT HER. all thanks to her i have to do the shit job, on top of my own duties. i had to work overtime till 7.45pm today.. and thank god there's ah xiu to accompany me.

this afternoon i got a sms from kim which was about registering for courses at SIM.. the closing date for university of london is tml! gosh.. so i took half day off tml to go down and apply.. damn stupid nus and ntu and dragon babies.. I HATE BEING A DRAGON. what the hell it cost $52.50!

i only reached home at 8.45pm today but my mood was really lousy so i decided to go for a run. A RUN!!!!!!!! i was hopping running will keep my thoughts and troubles away for a nice 20 minutes and it did.. plus burning some fats. however, when i went back home i almost fainted cuz my last meal was duck rice at 1pm. and until now i didnt talk to sis A or sis B cuz i am just so sian to be reminded of all that happened yesterday.

i cannot help to wonder, what did i spend the last 2 years of my life for? end up at SIM when i put in my effort? i hate a levels.

you didn't stumble on the wrong blog. it's still doingthisdiscreetly but because of a silly mistake i made just now and tada! this is what it has become now. abit dark and emotional i know (hahaha) but it was not intended. so, please pardon me until i found a really nice blogskin k?

well, i apologise for my earlier entry which is quite vulgar. hahaha. but you cannot blame a person who is so annoyed yesterday when 1 single person reminded her so much that she cannot/haven't receive THE LETTER(s) right? although i more-or-less forgive the person but i'm still bothered about the outcome so much so that kim and me were discussing about other alternatives. hai.

ok so today i finally collected the s.h.e album, which is a major disappointment cuz the cover looks very :s. i dunno how to describe it but just look at it urself when u visit any music joints. however, songs are good i must say. shou wo ai ni is good!! written by hebe of cuz :D and i must honour tina wu cuz she told me she mastered zhong guo hua ruo kou ling. (y) (y)!

chatted with wanlin just now and she told me that she's got lobang for a super big chalet at pasir ris! i think it is the one zh and i went before and i;m really excited about it! i hope everything will be settled asap and we can enjoy ourselves before heading into uni! the best part is, it only cost $12 for 5 days. time for cheapo party people!

anyway, 2 days ago when i was on the home back home there was this couple in the same lift as me and the father was carrying a cake. thoughts suddenly run in my mind.. how fortunate is the person celebrating his/her birthday? i've not celebrate a birthday for so long! nah i don like people to sing birthday song for me but i lvoe to sing/scream for other pple! the last time i sang.. i think it was for kim at nyjc. haha that pathetic hor.

i'm still hunting for my organiser. haven found the one with the right size and look yet, and also looking for matching stickers. most imptly, the CHEAPEST. please don't look down on me on my THRIFTINESS. hahahahaha!

tzeye just show me this blog and i think it is what i'm looking for! time to indulge in my pastime - cooking!! http://bakingmum.blogspot.com/2007/03/donuts.html

oh shit i'm hungry now. time to open my baked dorito! :D


it is really good! as mentioned, it is BAKED (not fried) so it is healthier and contain less fats (tt's what i presume, and ASSUME) and i got it free cuz it is from my sis's company! hahaha i love my sis's company cuz she gives me free nivea products (she's from tt department), her bf gives me kellogs cereals (he's from tt department) and off and on she gives me dove chocolate, mars bars etc etc. giant is selling the bake dorito at $4.30 leh, expensive but you should really try it. NTUC cheapo never sell lor hahaha!

anyway, lunch today at crystal jade was great. the prawn dumplings are succulent and fresh, porridge is smooth (but the pork is not the best standard), the leaves wrapped with rice tasted like bar-zhang, the pork ribs don have alot of ribs. hahah what am i describing. $30, not too bad for crystal jade la. any place you guys recommend me (n zh) for nice and affordable food? and places to go too pls intro! thanks!

oh it's 115 now and i think i shld do something else, like watching prison break which i kar-po from zh. ok math day tml bye peeps!

finally met up with zh (ZEHOU) today! the last time i saw him was when we collected out results. he's going taiwan for come commando camp for a long 3 weeks.. so we hanged out today at fish&co, followed by mind cafe near smu.

mind cafe is quite a nice place to chill. there are SO many board games there and about 90% you never seen them before! it was quite fun although sharon and i lost terribly to zehou at monopoly. he owns 11 hotels la... stupid. we played cluedo, which zh (ZHIHENG) owns us at and some other lame games like 'slamwich'.. the pricing.. i think not that bad but i don recommend u guys to go there n play games like monopoly (which everyone owns) and shld try some other games. there are games facilitators there to teach you how to play so we don have to read the long and draggy instructions. i paid $16 for 4 hours of games, plus a drink and some snacks and junk food. not bad for a sunday!

well, i caught spidey yesterday and i think the effects are fabulous! personally i like the sandman! but then, i think tobey looks like mr bean at some angle oops HEHEHE. and harry is damn handsomeeeeeeeeee lahhhh!!

anyway i want to make some resolutions here.. for the next 3 months lah hahaha.

1. pack all my math notes properly and send it to zh (ZHIHENG). not forgetting to recap them and diffuse those harder topics for him to practise first.
2. save at least $600 every month, cuz my hk trip cost $1k on accomodation and air tickets alone.
3. meet my sec school and jc cliques for at least once a month. very unhealthy to talk online and through sms only.
4. hope that mj can be in soccer finals this yr and i will definitely go jalan besar to suppor them together with sharon, esther and kah!
5. i think i need to go for a run. i weighed myself yesterday and i gained 2kg of FATS. ya i grew fatter. i have not exercise since 2 months ago i think. this is getting so unhealthy i get tired so easily at work!
6. make scrapbook for sharon. ya the one i owed her since last year. (they owe me mine, and singhui's one as well. HAHA)
7. get my own organiser done for uni! yeah i wanna make my organiser a hip one, as well as my own file. heehee.
8.a nice pair of specs. have been hunting it for quite some time but only found a pair which cost $300 hahaha. better than zh, the one i saw and the one he likes cost $500. elizabeth mcqueen. oops.
9. online shopping maybe?! but it is addictive. nah maybe not. haha.

ok i gtg. chelsea is currently 1-0 down at emirates. yay it's man u's EPL and FA this season! i will stay awake on wed morning just to witness chelsea players stand in line, claping for the 06-07 english premier league champions MANCHESTER UNITED. the best part? at stamford bridge. what glory! :D:D:D:D:D

finally i am updating about my life and sorry for this late entry. well, this week is EVENTFUL and TRAUMATISING as well.

eventful cuz zh was off the whole week and thus i am out EVERYDAY after work (except today because i am too nua and so is he), traumatising cuz labour day was super bad for both of us :( well, it's over and the weekend is reporting!

another traumatising incident, well u would have guess it, man u is out of champions league. although i did not witness it myself (luckily i didnt.. hahaha) i am still very upset about it cuz i really think man u should win it! but after sacrificing 1 hour of my sleep last night (1am-2am) to watch espn's champs league highlights, i am totally convinced that milan deserved to be the better team. man u's defence was leaky, and what a pass from heinze to vidic that cost the second goal. kaka was superb as usual (hehehe) and i think he was the inspiration to milan. ok i shall stop this in case cuz 70% of my readers have no idea what i am trying to convey.

okay i went for steamboat buffet outside bugis on monday and it was not too bad except that the variety is super limited but service and cleanliness are above average. tues, dont talk about it, wed was zh's bunk bbq @ aloha loyang. the chalet is super spacious but too bad it was fully booked for june n july. i was thinking of organising 1 for my family. thurs was kbox with 3 other pple! sounds super pathetic but we were quite high cuz our dear zh and kah sang some hokkien songs like train station (pls translate to hokkien) as well as esther+kah canto songs.

a piece of bad news. i'm going to work at uob till end june/early july cuz i am currently broke and my hk trip cost me 1k (SQ mah and what the hell jetstar have promotion now 1 for 1 somemore!)

i've run out of things to say but i'm having a date with spidey tml morning! and i will pester zh every sunday when i see him "remb ur math paper cost more than ur nike shoes"

:) remind him too! :D
