Monday, May 04, 2009 swine flu ok actually its now H1N1, nothing to do with the boars anymore, or at least thats what they say. well, i am actually quite bummed. with the fact that i have NOTHING to do, or that i dont feel like doing anything. im the lazy bum. i actually started playing bejeweled blitz on fb and earned myself a 75k star medal. like, whoa. thats how bored i am.... grrr... as precaution, school W has taken measures to stop all cca this week till further notice. cuz of the swines. that means, i am work-free. and school R has cancelled the trip to europe, that means i will be free for nearly or more than a whole month from end may to first 2 weeks of june, since im supposed to be in europe. ah wells. this sucks. feels like i just got retrenched. haha. and also because i know i cannot be left like that, without having anything to do for too long a time. i will go mad. wth, i am already half mad. was just talking to dan on msn earlier on. he asked if i was lonely. i said, yea i am. then he said, arent you a sagi? they're supposed to be social creatures. i said, yea precisely so, im such a social creature, and when im deprived of anything social, i become very lonely. ah.... maybe im just needy la. sheesh. and attention deprived. hur. he is sick. for real. hope he gets better. otherwise how to enjoy our vacation? (in his words, exactly, about a month ago when i fell sick on gd friday) its 5 more days darling, get well. so, picking up from my last entry, i was pissed and upset till labour day. then his phonecall came in at abt 2pm. he said he FORGOT to reply me. (wth!!!!!) and he was up all night playing a new game he bought for his PS3. like HMM!! but, im such a loser, i didnt lose my cool. i dont know why. we ended up going to watch wolverine in the afternoon, which was quite good. and since then, ive been quite used to all the MIA-ness. sigh. and the non-reciprocation of sms. i dont know if i shld even get used to it. the talk will come, soon. and then. i got pangseh-ed today, by mr K. he'd just come back on sat for a 3week holiday (cuz his sister's getting married on the 17th). and i asked if he was free to go funan with me to get me a laptop. been using dear's one for a good 3 or 4 months now. really high time i shld be getting my own. then just as i was getting dressed, he called to say he cant meet me already. BAH. cuz he has to go see doctor with his gf. oh wells, what can i say to that? go and be a good bf, give your gf attention and TLC like u should. sorry, being sour again. haha. and so i am at home, playing bejeweled and blogging. ok. well, i still hope i can have dinner with mr k after the trip to the doc's. shall not be too optimistic about that, but im hoping.

Friday, May 01, 2009 WTH~~~~ nothing at all the WHOLE DAY from him. NOTHING. i repeat, NOTHING. just, what is wrong?!??!!!? or is he unhappy with me for whatever reason? i really cant tell. i really dont know. seriously, I DONT KNOW ANYMORE now. its not as if im not trying. i sent him 2 smses and even 1 mms today. and i didnt get ANYTHING. no reply, no call, NOTHING. and its almost 145am now, 12 hours since my first sms. seriously, am i asking too much for a simple sms or call? are my expectations really too high??? am i angry, pissed, and upset? yes i guess u could say i am. but im also confused at the same time. plus a whole lot of other feelings all mixed up. i really, really dont know what to feel anymore. just got back from beerfest, btw. i feel the need to blog this first before i go shower. it wasnt too good. yes, there's really a lot of beer. but the music sucks after the band left. they were just playing techno metallic music, which totally sucked. so, boo.. maybe i shld go clubbing with sandy again next week. before the holiday. honestly, i am dreading the holiday. its supposed to be something to look forward to. we were even counting down the number of days when we first decided to go for it. and now, its like, oh whatever. its 9 days only, to be exact. single digit. oh, how exciting.

Wednesday, April 29, 2009 swimming, anybody? i just went down for a swim. the sun was quite good, no regrets. and i even have a faint bikini tan line now, great. yes, i swam in my bikini, the one i bought in NZ, dec 2007 while on holiday with my folks and albert's and alicia's wedding. its a size 10, one of the last pieces on sale on the rack. its pink strips with brown borders. very me kind of print. i remember the lady saying, oh you are so tiny! size 10, tiny?? hah. i guess we are, compared to them. duh. =P as usual when im alone and not doing anything that requires concentration and focus, my mind wonders. i put on my bikini and realise DARN im really slightly fatter now. the bottom was a bit, well, tight. eek. cutting in my flesh. blah. and i took out my new goggles. guess when i bought them?? nearly 2 months ago. adjusted the straps. good. 2 months! thats how long i havent been swimming. well u see. we were actually pretty enthusiastic about swimming back then. he'd come over in the evening (after my work) and we'd swim. or try to. of course we ended up in the jacuzzi in the middle of the pool after a while. my goggles were fogging up. and so was my brother ben's. he said, oh go ahead and use mine, its pretty new and its anti fog, used it less than 5 times. and the moment it went under the water, it fogged up. hah so much for anti fog. so we survived on his goggles and my half past six foggy goggles. and thats when i decided i shld buy new goggles so we could both swim fog free. and. that was 2 months ago. today, i wore my goggles for the first time. it was really anti fog. well done, arena. oh, and that reminds me. his trunks and goggles are still at my place. i said why dont u leave it here since we're gonna be swimming and then u dont have to bring them to and fro. lol. and before i know it, its 2 months and we havent been swimming, at all. i doubt he's coming over anytime soon. i think i shld be packing those in my luggage for him for our holiday next week. i AM sounding like some super sour grapes, am i not? sigh. i cant help it, i really cant. this thing is really driving me nuts. made worse with all my free time. i even dream of him last night. cant remember what it was. i only remember asking him "are u sick of me?" bah. this sucks. it does. oh wells. i guess i just have to see how it goes. beerfest tmr night with sandy and some others! looking forward to it, well, kind of. just a bit bummed that he's not exactly free (or willing) to come with me. last thursday he very sweetly picked me up from church at 9pm to send me home, after i told him that i was very tired. i wonder, if i asked the same tmr night, whether he'll be free or willing to pick me up, half drunk perhaps, after his meeting with pris. i'll see. but its ok. sandy has offered me her place to crash for the night, if i really get pissy drunk. (i doubt it). besides. i might see that somebody tmr night. geez. the someone whom i refer to as, YOU, in my entries in 2006-2008. oki dokes, time to go. playing for uncle desmond's father's wake service tonight. its good for me to be pre occupied now. then maybe i'll go for a pedicure tmr morning. my nail polish has come off. and then arrange for a free facial from murad that i got. yea. i went shopping on sunday and spent enough to qualify for murad's membership and a free 60min facial worth $120. talk about retail therapy for the depressed soul.

Monday, April 27, 2009 back again, a new phase i have decided to post something today. as usual, i dont know how to start. i dont even know if i still remember how to use this blogger thing. i'll try. and so syf 2009 is over, yet another year. not as overwhelming as previous years, for whatever reasons. i played for 5 choirs, 4 got silver and 1 got gold. very happy for the girls. today is the start of a new week, and im going to be very free cuz syf is over, and the kids are all starting to have exams. and im going to be on holiday from 9-14 may. yes, a holiday. im attached. for about 3plus months. everything happened so quickly. it was like, bang wham wow, we're both happy, we clicked just like that, then we got together. well, things are not exactly like what it was when it started, everything is really much toned down already..... so much so, im trying to adjust. maybe i should adjust my expectations also. maybe i shldnt be asking for too much.. maybe, maybe. i dont know. i really dont know now... maybe this is the real him after all. i just wished i can adjust better. ok, so maybe i really shld try to do something productive now that im so free. i went to tampines 1 to check it out, what the hype is all about. no big deal i think. just another mall. then i headed to the library. spent a lot of time looking for a book that i think i'll read. it took me a long while. finally i borrowed this book "undead and unwed". ok it sounds silly. i think it IS a silly book. well, i do want something light hearted to read now, actually. before that i met up with a composer-arranger-producer guy. he's looking for somebody to do backup vocals and thought that i might be suitable after today's chit chat session. and so we'll see how it goes.. who knows. i might end up becoming a recording artiste for this proj he's working on. tmr is back to work. wed is work-less. thurs is show time for sjc, and then beerfest. he aint coming with me. a little disappointing, but nevertheless i think im going to have fun with sandy and gang. havent met them in a while. i love my friends, really. i cant do without my friends, especially bestie. i actually managed to meet up with her 3 times in 7 days last week, which is a great feat. and as usual, she always cheers me up. *hugs bestie --> she shld be the first to read this. anyway, more digressing, dopey thinks she might be mildly depressive. or bi polar. or manic. ok she doesnt remember her abnormal psych stuffs. but point is, she thinks she is depressed. she swings from being so depressed, back to her normal self, then back to being depressed again. recently she hasnt been eating and sleeping well. especially when she's alone, she is a crumbling mess. emotional piece of rubbish. mentally unstable. but no, dont worry, no suicidal thoughts. maybe im really afraid of being lonely. insecure and that kind of s**t. sigh, i dont know.. i hope it gets better. now that i suddenly have a lot of free time on my hands now. its just so extreme, from having a packed and overwhelmed schedule to one thats totally free of anything. i dont adjust well. hur hur. i guess, thats just too bad for me. o_O anyways. till the next blog entry, which might be soon. blogging takes my mind away from things. i like. and also since im going to be very free, next 3 weeks. adios.

Wednesday, July 02, 2008 my life at 24.5 hello there. its been a long time. suddenly ive the urge to blog, once again. dont know how long this momentum will keep up though. lol. i just want to say that, i was, am, will be, very busy. life is moving at such a fast pace, im really surprised at how im catching up, or die trying to. but anyways, here's what happening in my life. ********** people arnd me are all getting married. last week was cindy's beautiful ROM. i caught her bouquet!!!!! and in the afternoon, my cousin got married in his church. it was beautiful as well. i sang carpenter's we've only just begun, and according to him, everybody liked it. hee. and ive just received news that des (who just got proposed not too long ago), is shifting her sept 09 wedding to march 09!! gosh. thats super fast! of course, we're all happy for her. and in 2 month's time, i have TWO weddings to go to- consecutively for 2 sundays. yann's and liting's. wheeee, darling girls. well. me? hmm. i dont know. im still waiting for THE ONE. ive caught the bouquet last week. it shldnt be that bad.. it shldnt take toooo long. of course, there's been that ballgame that i was trying to play the whole of last year, but ive since decided to give it up cuz it aint going anywhere. so fine. and then the whole of SLC's watching me and uncle J and just waiting for something to happen. all i can say is, there're no sparks, at least on my part. we're just v good friends who have fun together and say/do nonsense things. oh then there's this rather new guy that i met recently during cindy's hen night. the girls are quite excited about our "progress", but seriously, what progress can there be with a guy i meet at a club? no doubt, he's rather cute, and supposedly quite a famous national athelete (shant disclose which sport). hmm no im not going to take initiative. i shall sit back and wait. and then see how it goes if there's anything at all. if not, no big deal at all. so yes, i am (still) waiting for THE ONE. ********** i have a lot of friends going overseas for work/study. joker left last year for SF to study. he came back last month and ive only met him twice. he flew back today. will be gone for another 1.5 years. mr K left last week for melbourne for work. he'll be gone for 2 years. and i honestly think i'll miss his company, just nua-ing and watching american drama/sitcoms in his room while eating my tabao-ed dinner after teaching. jeann will also be flying off in aug. 2 years also, if im not mistaken. and there goes the life of our party, sort of. she's usually the one planning our outings and eating places. and then maybe siewping too, who will be stationed in china for work. and so our group shrinks. ********** work-wise, yes ive been helluva busy. ive never felt busier for the whole of this year starting january. but of course, its quite a good thing too cuz im earning more than last year and last last year. there was the pri sch syf in april, it was totally crazy for me. i played for a total of 8 choirs in 6 competition days. then i flew to olomouc, czech republic 3-10 june. and then im gonna be off again in less than 2 weeks, to HK and then straightaway to suzhou. 13-26 july is the tentative date. there was supposed to be st petersburg, russia end june (last week or so) but it got cancelled cuz tickets got too expensive. which is good also.. all these travelling and many many practices will suck the life out of me. and oh, ive just started a pri sch choir on my own. its all quite exciting but scary at the same time. suddenly im the choral director, and im now totally in charge of the fate of the choir. i hope i'll be ok. and when i come back from china, im starting with another choir, also on my own. and i think im filling big shoes. that makes it scary too. gee. i just hope im ready for this. besides work, ive got THREE gigs/concerts in august, all within 2 weekends. on 16th, 23rd and 24th. all rather different concerts. 16th is gonna be quite a blast i think, playing keys with the band at the floating platform with some rather big shot celebrity (whom i heard is a big prima dona).. part of NDP celebrations. 23rd is MT's teacher's concert. this one, well im obliged to be part of it since im a teacher (duh). and also because our teachers' item in feb's concert was well received, they want me (and ben) to sing again. so, a piano teacher, SINGING (and playing) hurhurhur. 24th is chorale's concert.. of which i think im only gonna be singing 2 songs with the female chorus. if i have any time (and energy) left, i will go learn up 2 more songs for the combined item. ********** last thursday, something happened. well i sort of brought it upon myself. but i wasnt expecting a reaction, not at all!!! it was just tooooooo unexpected. so when it happened, i was really caught off guard. luckily when i read the sms i didnt drive into the PIE road divider or something. but hmm i was quite cool and calm about the whole thing. coolness. proud of myself. but of course it started to get me thinking.... i was actually still in disbelieve on friday and half of saturday. i guess, im still in resentment about the whole thing. not so intense now of course, but still, a little sour and pissy. oh well, cant be helped. whatever it is, im not gonna let myself be bothered by it. it means nothing to me now. i dont want to think. ********** i actually meant for this to be a short entry. hurhur. so there u go, my life at 24.5 years old- friends, work, life. (and if u're wondering, most of my photos are up on facebook nowadays) i desperately need to get some sleep. it is 1am now, and i need to be in school at 8am later. typing this entry is making me lose precious sleep time!! lol.... so till my next entry, adios.

Tuesday, December 11, 2007 feeling old i know that my youth is slowly (maybe, quickly) passing me by. in 2 days' time, i turn 24. ok all those reading this who are older than me, just let me rant. u can smack me down another time. hurhurhur.. (: last year arnd my bday i realised that i have lines around my eyes. laugh lines, they are. so i got grace to buy me eye cream for a bday present. yes weird, but practical i say. i am starting to get wrinkled! and now, i realise my skin is peeling!! its fast becoming dry. but yet still oily at the same time cuz i get outbreaks ever so frequently. hormonal or not, i really still cant tell for sure. well maybe its because i just came back from NZ and the skin's still adjusting back to the humidity here, i dont know. but i know its getting drier and drier. and for the record, my left eye has been slightly swollen since my first few days in NZ, and its been swollen and puffy till this very moment. sighs. i hope my eye gel works its magic. maybe tonight. :S i am getting and feeling old. tweeenttyyy four!! and oh. im such a contradict. i have a pedicure package- i love pedicures and i love how my toes look with the dark crimson maroon or purple splash of color on it. problem is. most of my shoes are covered toe shoes. women u say, tsk tsk tsk. meeting the fishes for dinner tonight. first bday celebration for me this year. then meeting yx, probably to nua and watch heroes, as usual. tmr, nothing's planned. gotta teach, in fact. but might have dinner plans with Mr Liew. still doing a raincheck. will ask. thurs, working in the morning, then movie and dinner with dearest driz! (and perhaps a pedicure too) probably the main highlight of this week haha. after dinner plans, still TBC, but i really hope to go to HV to catch S&S at their unplugged session :) and then probably another chill out session on friday night after choir with uncle J. hahah. im so horrible. looks like its really time for me to get fatter after my already very fattening NZ holiday. wheee..

Sunday, October 07, 2007 dengue my mummy has dengue fever! no kidding.. just confirmed a few hours ago well. she started having high fever suddenly on wednesday night (when i was out at st james). nearly 39 degrees. it started very suddenly because there was no sore throat, flu or cough.. she just started feeling body (bone) aches in the evening, and then fever came. my dad took her to CGH's A&E and she was given panadol. thurs night, fever became worse. she ate medicine at 10pm, but at 1130pm the fever was 40 degrees. so i quickly drove her to the hospital again. waited nearly 3 hours!! bah. had to wait so long for the doc, then again for the blood test results. it came out ok, but the doc said there was still a possibility of dengue cuz it was too early to tell on the 2nd day. oh, and she was also given an injection for the fever. we finally got home abt 245am. *yawn* yesterday she started having rashes, and there was still fever.. so this morning my 2nd bro took her to the hospital again to take another blood test. and this time round, yes, confirmed she has dengue. the normal blood count is 140, hers was 103. but there's no need to ward her, unless the blood count drops to below 80. (*touch wood*) blood test again tmr.. aayyy. im just wondering, WHY AM I NOT THE ONE DOWN WITH DENGUE!!!! so near yet so far. mozzie chose the wrong person to bite. hur hur hur. i guess, im really mad. last 1-2 weeks ago i remember being bitten at home.. but so far i havent had any symptoms of body aches and fever. oops. well, if i get it, i get it la =P meanwhile, i hope my mummy gets well soon!!

Thursday, October 04, 2007 St. James WHOA!!! it was loads and loads of fun last night with the chorale girls. yipeeee!! we were at carnivore for dinner (vivocity). me cat and bing were 3 hungry girls sitting on a plastic bench outside the restaurant, waiting for 830pm so that we'll go in and devour all the food. well. sandy made a reservation but it was full house, so we had to wait. grr. 830pm finally came, sandy arrived just RIGHT in time, yann and jim came shortly after. the food was very good. we had quite a lot of lambs, onions, ratatouille etc. well, highlight of dinner had to be CHICKEN HEARTS. sandy had a lot of them. like *gulp* a few of us tried it and it tasted really chicken-y. we now call sandy the murderer of defenceless chickens. paaakk paaakk paaakk.. uh, then *silence* (ps we've been throwing chickens at sandy on FB since 3am last night) after a really satisfying dinner, we went over to st james. and i HAVE to say this: i discovered, that i have nice (muscular) calves! hee hee hee. probably left over from secondary/jc school days. lol. or it was probably just the heels. yann made the observation. tee hee hee. we went to bellini first- nice jazz music with nice champagne. a pity the lead singer of the band had this kek sai and jek ark face/ attitude. and he wore skinny jeans. i mean, sorry i wasnt staring at it on purpose, but i realised they're really. err. TIGHT. and his hair, omg. it was curly and long and unruly and it looks wet/ oily. but oh. he had nice red boots, and his singing was. quite alright and enjoyable. oh but we loved the champagne more than anything =D oh. i totally forgot to mention that, there was a WHITE (ivory) BABY GRAND at bellini!! i mean, how nice is that!! i so totally want a WHITE BABY GRAND in my home next time, provided my future husband can afford to buy it for me, and an apartment big enough to house it. hee hee. i'd forgo jewellery (well, not too much) for a baby grand. (im sure driz will echo my view on this, right? heh) drool. i like... a pity that dude playing it was.. well. not too cool. but he plays pretty mean jazz. yeah. headed to power house to get our fix. 5 free drinks. we started off with really bad bourbon coke *yuck* but we finished it quickly cuz it was really so baaadd (what an irony). then it was cranberry vodka. and then 1 more tequila shot. finally decided that we were high enough, headed over to movida for some latin beats. my salsa lessons came into good use for some bits. heh. sandy danced on stage for the macarena song. and later on i got tricked to go on stage too. luckily there was this really big angmoh guy in front of us and we hid behind him. lol. then it was back at power house to get hydrated. and then HOME, in a big comfy merz cab.  what a night. (photos from cat and yann to come soon) i want to go back there again!!!! Labels: friends

Wednesday, October 03, 2007 facebook is so full of nonsense!! wahahaha anyways. im very very free this week. because its PSLE week, the schools have cancelled classes (kinda last min), and there're also no choir practices, since the sec schools are also having their exams around this time. so yeps, im rotting at home the whole day today. other than dinner later with the chorale girls, and then we're gonna party the night away at st james! *excited* and tmr i'll also be rotting at home till kingdom comes. moooo... so what do i do when i rot at home? i go and waste time on facebook, superpoking people and adding all the nonsense applications. wahahahah... its really quite additive, for a start. i kinda just signed up less than a month ago, and ive been told that im very "effiicient". hee hee. but after next or next next week, i'll start to get busy all over again, when the exam ends. my planner looks empty now, but im sure its gonna be sardine packed all the way till mid november. i have, let see, 5 days of concerts, and definitely a lot of rehearsals in btwn. concert on 13th, 15th, 16th, 18th, 19th. wheee. tentatively, its like that, yeps. i so need to go buy more stage-worthy clothes. tee hee hee. am always wearing the same old boring thing! yeeks. righto. the weather looks puurrrr-fect for a swim. or rather, a dip in the pool, for my case. haha. i shall go and have a little splash splash on my own *beams*
