2nd post in a day, but i cant help it.

its the start of the recess week, but im fretting over my quizzes thats abt to happen aft the hol. i know, im a mugger at heart. once a mugger, always a mugger (the true njc motto). i dont want to fail the quizzes because i know my final grade will depend highly on how much my quizzes can help to pull me up. hence ive put away the inner desire to watch a movie at vivo, ktv at clementi, or shop at marina square ( i will do so some time next week ). i whipped out my stochastics bible (ive got 2 volumes since the girls in class fotocopied another book as reference. we need it badly) n started reading, only to find myself here typing away in my state of boredom and misery. its the 2nd day of hols n im frigging stressed.

thats wat happens when u overestimate ur intelligence n join 20sth other people (einstens, newtons, n watnots) in the quest to understand the impossible. why did i make life so hard for myself?? WHYYY !?!?!?

CNY 2007.. in bangkok !!

yippee doodles. 1st day of the trip to bangkok. did nth much, basically travelled there, checked in, ate n shopped abit in paragon siam. our hotel, novotel, was situated among many big malls, which was great.

view from the hotel, located in siam.

eeks. thats our hotel room, n thats the mpat.

cus it was cny eve, there were fireworks !! its a shot taken from my room. cool eh?

2nd day morning, we had our buffet breakfast. tried not to eat too much so that i wont gain too much weight. see the amt i had.. versus....

the 3 plates the mpat had. wat happened to the diet !?!?

ooh went to the sunday market on the 2nd day. took the skytrain, which was just opposite our hotel to the sunday market at mo chit. bangkok is damn accessible everywhere n chuptuchuk (the damn famous market, howeva u spell it) is only 20 mins train ride away from our hotel. shades for a few sing bucks from the market.

cloth hats that they sell for 20 bucks in sg is sold in the market at 3 sing bux. bought it cus it was so damn hot i was gonna get a heatstroke. the markets so fun cus u can bargain.

cute lil taxis in bangkok in pink, red, blue, yellow.. i loved their pink cabs !!

their skytrain, aka BTS. oh n wats that? errh. its the mpat

2nd day dinner, went to this famous seafood restaurant, where u choose the food u want, buy them, then get the ppl at the restaurant to cook it for u.

walked past many roadside stalls selling all sorta diff stuff. oh n there were so many crippled beggars it was qte scary.

3rd day, on my way to another shapping mall !! i love shopping n i think i spent truckloads. anyway the reason for this foto.. i waxed my hair to mess it up so the ponytail wont look too boring. but thats the biggest it will go.

another shopping mall thats beside my hotel

me n my mom in front of bmk, singapore's far east/lucky plaza, just that u can bargain.

oooh. the best massage i had was in this thai massage palour, opened by japanese i think. the thai receptionist cld speak jap even. n the 2.5hrs of scrub, oil followed by herbal massage was.. oooh. gawddamngooooood. the only bad thing abt it? i had to see somebody's droopadangdangs. wat a sight.

last day in bangkok b4 we left, we went to this eatery near our hotel that has really good food. n the tables r so special they had holes for the bowls.

so in these 4 days we spent like cows n my dad has gone bankrupt. oh wells. i shopped too much, now im kinda sick of it. n my whole body ached from the walking despite the good massages. AND i suspect im supposed to be thai, cus i look even more thai than some of the thais there. almost everybody, which includes salespeople in the malls, markets, my dad's friend whom we had damn good dinner with, told me that i look thai. occasionally when i say 'oh sorry i dont understand thai' after a string of tik tak tuk mak and peungs someone will exclaim ' oh u r not thai! u look like thai! '. i must say i wasnt v pleased.

vday passed, once again.

yeah wateva. all u couples out there. shut up. diasppear. shoo!

those r the words of a bitter woman. ME. haha nah. kidding. thou, i gota admit i wld have had the worst vday eva if not for lydia huishan philip n vanessa. spent my day mainly in school. had 2 hrs of lesson and a quiz, followed by a 5 hr break. since lydia stays so near school, we decided to pop by her place till my lesson at 530. after lesson at 730, i had the best meal at al ameen with philip huishan n vanessa. shucks. diet plans gone.

because its such an angry occassion, we (actually they) refused to go back home, n so we bought a few cans of beer n went to my place for a drink. vanessa slept after 1 and a half cans of beer. the remaining 3 of us talked till 2 plus 3am.

got chocs for vday, which were nice. but there goes my diet plans again. i think vday feels so uneventful this year because ive been spoilt by a bouquet of roses last year.

boo. u got clamped.

the school has got one damn clamp (at least only one that we know of in south spine) and hurray, its my lucky day.

because i am so annoyed im going to blog abt this b4 i start to study for my quiz tmr.

my usual trip to sch goes like this. i drive to sch and turn into s4, where there is one pathetic non-charging carpark, because thats where my classes are. i used to be able to choose to park at s4 or at the carpark near the canteen. however the dumb sch decided to close down that carpark n build some other faculty building at that area. ntu is located at the most west point of singapore and so it is actually the biggest university in sg. IN FACT, theres so much land wild boars and monkeys occasionally make their appearances. so which dumbass chose to cramp the new building together with all the other buildings? i dont know.

just like any other day, the parking lots r all filled up, n random cars create their own parking lots - whereva that does not hinder any other vehicles' movements. however, today's carpark was so filled up n cramped that many cars had to choose to park dangerously, and the space for other cars to manoever was minimal. BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO POSE A THREAT TO ANY OTHER DRIVER AND VEHICLE, AND I DID NOT WANT MY CAR DAMAGED, i chose, after much thought, to park in the handicapped lot, since almost everyday its empty. thinking that should be a safer alternative, i went to class.

however, after numerous hrs of lessons, i came out to the carpark to realise my car has been clamped. so i followed the procedure of hurling a few curses and then calling up the office to unclamp my car.

as i was really unhappy and annoyed, i reasoned with the lady on the phone that it was unfair that my car was to be clamped when it was parked in the safest location as compared to the other vehicles. she gave me a lousy explanation that its a just a rule n asked me to walk to the office to pay the fine.

so okay, i needa go home. having no choice, i walked to the office. n after further reasoning with the same lady, which went nowhere, i paid my fine n left with a malay uncle to unclamp the wheel. the final explanation she could give me was that the other drivers were given warning slips, but because there are ALOT of handicapped ppl in sch we must give way to them and allow them to find a lot as and when they need to. i have nothing against handicapped ppl, i will give a lot to anybody handicapped who needs my lot, but its prob a fact that there r NOT MANY of them arnd in sch WHO DRIVES because the damn lots r empty everyday.

despite paying 30 dollars (for nothing) i still think even if i shouldnt have parked in that lot, i shouldnt have been fined. i paid because i didnt want to let the malay guy wait, n reasoning with the woman at the counter (who wasnt at fault) will not clear away the fine. the system is screwd up, n so is the freak who goes arnd clamping ppl's cars.

karaoke overload.

havent had much fun in quite awhile. life has been mundane for weeks, since tutorials seminars and presentations took up most if it. so i joined huishan philip n friends at kbox clementi aft my malay elective to relax b4 i turn into a total friendless bore. stayed a total of 6 hrs in the ktv room. it was fun n pretty damn extertaining.

today, friday, i had a presentation, which took up most of my brain capacity for the day, together with 4hrs of stochastics. so i decided not to do any work today but again, relax b4 i turn into a muggertoad. this time round my mom n sis decided to go ktv, so for the 2nd time in 3 days i stepped into clementi's kbox. sang for only 4 hrs this time round n ran outa songs. it was one old foggie karaoke session, with songs like dai noi fa n other wat nots. n goodness i had to muster my courage to hear my fav wang leehom songs get howled by a certain howler called the m.p.a.t lemlem.

im not gonna go ktv for another mth at least.

ok to mask the previous bimbotic post i had all about myself and my haircut, ive decided to blabber abit abt surf n sweat 07, held last weekend at tanjong beach in sentosa this time round.

spent 2 hot days under the sun doing absolutely nth fulfilling. guess thats so becus its not my event anymore, n i merely went to help out. but eeks, i came back with rashes on my neck (heat rashes i hope, n not bug bites), mosquito bites on my feet (that hasnt subsided). worst of all, my skin sprung back to its original mudchick tan. erks. it took me 3 whole mths to become fairer. im irritated.

decided to cut my hair today, after many weeks of internal debate. since i DIY-ed my hair ($18.50 heh. loreal 3d is good), i allowed a splurge on the cut. i wanted a different look, so i decided not to go back to my regular hairstylist, thou hes really good n he gives me a 40 percent discount. (anybody else referred gets a 30 % if ur interested in an expensive haircut at hyatt) if i go back to him, ill prob walk outa the salon looking the same. so i made up my mind n finally went into another expensive salon for another expensive haircut. (i dnt trust cheap haircuts)

expensive cuts really do look different. abit from jean jip/jantzen, n alot from neighbourhood salons.

however the look that i wanted this time resembles that of a cabbage. it looks abit queer on me, cus the fringe is short. the luck thang? i look like an expensive cabbage.

shall post some pics

i walked outa the salon looking like that.. hair's nicely blown n all. yeah im slightly rounder. not my fault cny is coming.

i think i shld be takuya kimura's daughter, not teo kok hwee's. gawd even the 1st name sounds so much cooler.

thou i look slightly like a cabbage when the hair is not wellstyled, the fringe actually gives me more space to play arnd with hair styles. now i can use a chopstick to bun up my hair ! cldnt previously cus it looked weird fringeless

n the classic currypok behind. hairstylist told me to create volume behind cus the back of my head is flat. now i remember, all thanx to teo siew yan who pushed me against the wall when i was just a lil kid.

n the half ponytail that i never tried because i didnt haf a fringe back then

the thick hairband look. makes me look like an ahlian

n the thin hairband look.

haha my DIY job was great right!! my mama did it.
