went back to the crime scene today.......

the faithful spot where my feet twisted left.

it was FLAT LAND... no doubt

ROARRR

anw alr went to chinese physician for a rub alr. he said was just nerve and not v serious. whew. when i told him it happened only yesterday, he didnt really hear me clearly, thought 1 week ago. so i quickly said:" oh no la mayb about 2 days ago!" im so freakin gan jiong la.one day only lei. but i care. anw didnt even bat an eyelid blowing $30 bucks on a 20 min rub for my leg. zzzz. people, thats how i spend my money. no one will know except perhaps my mum who offered to pay for me but i pai seh la, my own fault wad.

last day of work tmr! weekends then start of new job training. im kinda excited and a bit sian. things are going kinda fast but again i hope it will be fine. i hope the girls wont be bitchy towards me. always have a phobia towards bitchy girls. if you are slightly nice to me i will warm up to you. but once u start being bitchy it gets REALLY scary. cant handle it. guys seldom bitchy la. so not too bad. CROSS FINGERS

oh ya the home sick ass coming home tmr alr. keep asking me this question: what are your plans for tmr?(she asked me today). DUH question. work then go home, eat, use com, read and sleep before 10pm. my lifestyle v standard. wanna blow my life on this lifestyle for the next few days before work starts and weird shift starts. in fact the first week mostly end at 10pm plus plus. eh isnt that just nice my sleeping time? AH. I CAN ADJUST! no sleepy/complainy cherlyn please. urgh

seeing the roundy tmr. eh dad say wanna treat us swensens and carl's junior. on for swensens not for carl's junior. mum going for some lunch buffet with her friends and said she can book 1 table for corrine and i only at some corner away from my mum and friends and pay for our lunch buffet. think what? romantic lunch date cum buffet ar? the thought itself scares me alr.

feet get well soon:)

bye!

yesterday was smashingly well spent with two favourite people :D

came home for lunch with my sister... sis-talked about many random stuff under the sun. so many things to catch up on. haha. though we didn't see each other for only ermm.. two days? haha. wanching suppose to come and join us for lunch then proceed to shopping but she ended up waking up at freak 5pm so sis and i ended up staying home... weather dampened our mood to go out too. whoops.

later in the evening, darren came over too cos he had night out ;) unfortunately, some bad karma happened. his wallet and hp got stolen while he was bowling before coming my house. roarr.. feel pek cek for him. :( drove him to the neighbourhood police post to make police report to get a replacement for his 11-b. no idea whats that but i think its his army card.

for now waiting for my godma to come pick me up to ntu! hehe. not that i'm excited to go back or what but i really appreciate a lift to ntu :)

the weather... :( rain rain go away... come again another day (when i'm coming home for the night, sleep wld be superr shiok )

--corrine--

ok emo alert off alr. haha

came back from tutorial to do laundry! and having lessons at 230pm later. tues is the worst, ends at 830pm. goshh. lecture today taught me about the importance of sleep. haha. at least i know i'm doing the right thing by sleeping by 11am! alot of pple get stunned when they ask me what time i usually sleep -.- errpss.

off to slack around and eat b4 lesson sweet lesson...

--corrine--

lately i've been getting to know myself better, i'm a clean freak. i hate being dirty and living in dirty environment. i've been been doing the cleaning of my hostel room quite frequently :D haha. i think i make a good housewife. wahah.

apart from that, yesterday was well spent with my buddies :) its seems like yesterday when we were classmates... cher and i, turn around see the hyper huayshan and wong and then right behind we have the knowledgeable chang! haha. i've let alot of friends slip by year after year, making new friends but this bunch of friends are here to stay! went huayshan house ystd and helped* to watch her pack.. haha! i was providing constructive entertainment please. actually pure slacking but seeing cher and chang and shan getting all busy packin really hit me hard, pple are leaving for a long period to pursue their dreams... makes me feel that its really hard to let go.

if i were to go overseas to study, i'd be excited to experience something new, gd exposure. but i think i'm too young and maybe even overly protected cos i doubt i'd bear to leave anything that i have now behind. not brave enough.... even staying in hall has really exposed my personality. after the end of the day's lecture, hostel is where i'd head to automatically, unconsciously.. somewhere where i feel safe and not vulnerable. but as usual, most of the time its back to emptiness... back to my computer, down to work, something to occupy myself...

3.5 months more and my twinnie cum best friend is flying off to a place very very far away. although it seems quite long from now... time really will fly and soon i'll be bidding her goodbye. roarr. alot of emotions stirring on my part but i believe much more intense on her part cos she's the one going to experience life there during her course of study.

i'm gonna make the cliche term 'keep in contact' that we always write in diaries but never really materialise most of them COME TRUE. webcam, msn bring it on! hehe.

'we live and we learn, take one step at a time, there's no need to rush. its like learning to fly, or falling in love. its gonna happen, suppose to happen that we find a reason why, one step at a time'

shall try to take everythin in my stride . try to make my relationships work. its not going to get easier.

--cherlyn
bad weather! resulted in:
1) cycling trip cancelled as it rained while we were travelling to national stad. :(.... hopefully it can be postponed to tmr morning. *cross fingers*.

but weekends itself nv fails to cheer me up
had usual chee cheong fun from st 21. yums. finally bought a decent computer table. packed my stuff and changed my working desk. actually my desk quite redundant cos i dont study these days. so it's just there to be pretty. and was thinking if i were to keep packing my room and throwing away stuff, the room could well be left with nothing alr cos i dont do shopping. so there's no input but always output! the fact is that the room has v little shelving space and thats why since dont know where to put things, might as well clear away. right? mum suggested built in shelves on wall. dont think its necessary cos corrine is living hostel and i will be leaving anw. so doesnt really matter. on top of that, there is a big shelf between corrine's and mine bed. it is v irritating cos it is an open shelf and we put stuff ( things that we can dont touch for months except perhaps my alarm clock which i have to touch every morning ) there and its v open and unglam. cant stand it because i like things to be closed, for eg: doors ( thats 1 big eg alr. cant think of anything else -.-) v irritating! urgh. plus its way too high. so every morning i have to stretch my hands high high up to reach for my alarmclock. that explains my v stiff neck like totally. the main point is im going to clear it and carry (with the help of another person) it away!

got my schedule for 2 weeks of training alr. some clashes with driving! but im going to have to fit everything in. luckily i have a phone with calender if not i will just go blank like a empty sheet of paper. totally! hopefully training will be fun and the people will be nice! past 1 month i have been too in my own world alr. totally cos my job involves a lot on collecting data (except random pple in ntuc asking me where's wheetbix, whats the peanut promotion about, how much are the savings, where am i from etc so i was part of their world for a while) roar. talking about that, there's actually quite a lot of undone stuff from my prev hpb job. zzzz. think will go back for 1 or 2 days to clear undone work. poor evelyn have to go down to ntuc on monday( she supposed to be off on monday, took leave) to carry on from where i left on. and i nicely left the cold section for her to do. was too freaking cold. AMK HUB is freaking atlantic please. thanks

gonna visit this ball on wednesday. lunch on ok? (i miss HK! regret not going to the peak) ah!

ok im off to slack!

bye!

i'm finally back in action. hee
this morning woke up with a major backache which originated from my first biathlon trng which was really no joke. so it started out at 730pm. i reached SRC swimming pool to see only one senior girl there. that was still ok. then swam 400m warm up. next up 6x100m swim using only the legs to kick while holding onto a float. gosh, i nearly peng4. only thing i did was eat everybody else's back wash and lagged every set :/ the senior girl was very very zai.

ok after the trauma, another one came booming. 6x100m freestyle swimming. another round of eating back wash :/ errrppps. i was nua-ing away alr. screaming help in my mind but die die just finished it.

ok then swimming finally over. came out of pool and feeling dizzzy... another friend of mine also feeling quite dizzy. haha! it was pretty funny to check out our physical responses. lol. so we had to put on our shoes for bout 5km run around the school. there was a freaking killer hill somewhere which lasted for god knows how long. my leg jellified. but the pace overall was supposedly very easy. :/ yea. haha.

by the time we came back almost 9 plus. then had to do some crunches, push-ups and holding exercises which was not that bad. ended with that. what a day! hugeeee eye-opener for me. this wednesday there's a biathlon challenge within ntu. 400m swim and 3.5km run around school. apparently more girls are joining. still not sure if i shld join. whoops. haha. but it was gd fun to test my swimmin limits. one of my friends asked me after the swim 'is smoke coming out from my body ?' -.- gosh.

haven seen pple so passionate about getting themselves in form to challenge distance and speed. :D so motivated to achieve their aim. anw, just had lessons from 830am till 1230pm. followed by lunch with jane and a new found friend from HW101. :D great fun. and now back in hall trying to do some HP805 reading. getting kinda sian but hang in there corrine!!!!!! heeeeee. i cant wait for the weekends to come. i wanna be back home, see my chubby sister, parents, eat shiokkky food and meet mr twan :D haha!

i miss everything out of hall life. ntu is too cut off from civilisation but i guess things could get better if i make more friends. time will tell ! back to readings. take care peeps. and to cher: WHEN COMING TO VISIT UR LONELY SISTER? ! HAHA!

--CORRINE--

--cherlyn
driving was quite good today. the instructor say i v stiff esp when checking blind spot. and seriously my neck is feeling v stiff now. because of WORK. 8.5 hrs sitting at my desk keying in data. *stiffs*but nonetheless it was way much better than the other day. half dead please the other time. hehe.

finally lunch at home. while lunching watched men's triathlon. ok seriously the triathlon guys blow me away. they were doing the 40km cycling. totally blown away. at first i thought was just cycling then was wondering why the japan guy arm so damn freaking worked out and hot. then i realise it was triathlon. ok overall guys with nice lean tone arms really blow me away. confirm +chop. i dont know about what blow other girls off but for me its that. haha! in my own world right now! dont mind ar. haha. but with that said, legs matter too!

in midst of matching picture with data. a with a, b with b. going nuts. cant wait to go home! can you believe it? im home sick while at work. ah!

huayshan is leaving on 1st september! gonna miss her. the fact that im thinking about it and feeling kinda blah about it means something la. my ex bf leave i dont rmbr feeling much. only at sent off i guess! roar. to yuen huayshan: im free 22nd august onwards that week. if you need somebody to accompany u to buy things like disposable panties ( can you do the laundry?,eh i rmbr u can!), hmm what other stuff? anything, just let me know ok? im just a sms away and im v free. slack at home whole day either eating/watching tv/use com/lie on bed stoning.gonna miss that girl la. though we meet quite rarely, but when i start thinking about where and when we started off, it just brings back a lot of memories. will keep that girl in my heart:)

ok im off for more matching things. hopefully i can get this thing done today.

bye!

--cherlyn
just watched women 42km marathon run. astounded and amazed. wonder when i will have the guts to say i want and will be running a marathon. that means training and getting in form. why no guts? basically past few years have been struck with several injuries here and there and it affects overall mentality. not easy to come out of it and say:" yeh im ready and well! in form and ready to go!" aint that easy i guess. well leisure run is still ok for me as of now. but mayb when im older like say 30 plus then mayb i cud do a marathon too?? oh ya and i wanna go trekking up a mountain too! training for it as well. ah! anw overall im motivated to run with a less shabby attitude. any takers??? yuen huay shan! date me for run at east coast park. i wish i cud fly there. travelling is such a hassle man.

extended my work for 1 more week. have unfinished business there. once finish up im done. gonna miss my cubicle. its a v slacky environment and the laptop is v fast. but i must say only spend 1/4 time there please. the rest of the time mostly out and about running errands.roar. *pants*

the weekends pass so quickly. :( corrine's goin back to hostel. darren's back to army. im back to work. but its ok. next week plan go ntu to visit corrine! running swimming badminton? which one? which two? which three??!! e x c i t e d:)

off to watch tv. table tennis match singapore finals! exciting! ready to scream the house down. haha!

bye

gosh feeling kinda immobilised after 3 hours of cycling from pasir ris to bedok reservoir to west coast park to changi and then back to pasir ris. my neck.. anw, it iwas awesome fun :D feeling the wind against my skin. hee. but had to rush back for tuition which was so freaking out of the way. guilty towards dad and sis cos they had to accomodate to my schedule.

next week i'll free up saturday morning to whack cycling and then can have breakfast too :D promise! hee. anyway uni life is slowly taking over me... explains the lack of updates. haha. have been either sleeping/going for lectures, tutorials or checking the sports recreational centre out. the gym is way cool. 80% guys and 20 % girls. gosh. girls are crazily outnumbered over there.

hostel life is... hmmm. or should i say uni life is kinda lonely actually. as in i usually walk around alone, difficult to meet pple of other faculty and go back hostel alone cos rarely do pple of same faculty live in the same hall. but its fortunate that i have my HSS camp pple from psych that give me alot of support and help. we're getting used to each other's company.

one of them told me that its difficult to make alot of friends in uni which is true. friends as in close friends and not those hi bye, make small talks kinda friends. which is quite sad and a huge contrast to secondary/jc life, everywhere u go there are bound to be some pple around that u can really talk to but now, when i walk around campus, 80% of the pple strangers :/

this must be my pre-uni syndrome. hee. whoops. i get all lost around ntu. cos obviously i suck big time with directions. right cher?.. haha! yea. dont know what to expect but i shld keep my emotions in control. otherwise damn jia lat.

yupp. for now, i shall try reading through my super long textbook and figure out one of the new modules called crystals and symmetry that i just took up. totally BLANKING OUT for that course. sheesh. sos.

--corrine--

--cherlyn
went for interview today. apparently my eye make up was too white. i can only work for 3 months plus(which is quite short but c'mon lor, im not those kind after training then will leave kind lor. as long as pay is decent i am valued for pay!) i was quite dead. my voice was low. = most prob cannot get the job. ROARRR. headed to market place to buy cedele carrot cake and banana muffin followed by us chocolatey muffin from starbucks. whacked home.

feeling tired. had only 1hr of sleep the prev night. z o m g. cycling with dad tmr. im off to sleep alr. YAWNSSSS

BYE ALL

--cherlyn
wore my mum's new wedges, sequin kind. a little bit ah ma. but reason is to rectify my almost close to flat footed feet. seriously when i wear flats my feet hurts quite a bit. cos its alr quite flat and still wear flats somemore, just v bad. wearing new shoes was horrible. forgot all about blisters and me being a noob in anything elevated didnt help either. wore that shoes to driving some more. quite haywire but driving is getting kinda fun:) whee:)

totally slacked at work today. did nothing but talk to my supervisor about what i WILL BE doing tmr and basically slacked. geez. no wonder im in a quite good mood.

I WAN TO GET A WEB CAM! roar. my bro has one but he is having field camp now so i cant contact him to ask him where is it. roarrrrr! urgh.

ok im off to watch tv. olympics gymnastics. scary stuff!!!:z

bye people!

--cherlyn
over lunch had a small conv with my bro. he was saying smth like since corrine is dating a darren and if i were to date a kenneth, it wud piss him off! haha! then over dinner he told my mum that i was dating a kenneth. like since when? but imagine if it were to happen. it wud be super hilarious. why of all pple darren and kenneth. but highly doubt so unless the world is like so small.

no work tmr!:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) run with sis. meet up with wc. cant wait. but now i cant wait to sleep. im a super early sleeper! roar. gonna shut down the com too so that corrine has no chance to disturb my sleep. the keyboard is v noisy.

gdnight!

--cherlyn

freaking happy that the weekends are (almost) here!!!!!! and guess what, it means 1 more week till end of work. i repeat again 1 more week!! totally cant wait. although if work ends means i will be totally bumming ard at home sianning away! but i guess i will just have to watch the sopranos which my bro is downloading at the moment. so by the time i end work it should be fully downloaded to keep dear cherlyn company!

anw i was telling corrine about this interesting uncle hawker vendor/owner of several hawker stores/business man etc

initally he was complaining to me about oil stuff. then the conv ventured off to something quite surreal

1)he has several cars (including a lamborgini?) and the cheapeast 1 is a jaguar which he use to deliver packets of rice (he helped his son open a rice and food store, the son look like a bit older than me only and fiancee is 19 who is also helping out at the store)

2)his hse is freaking big and he pasted both pics of his house and his dream car, the long long kind. dont know how u call that, on the front of his son store

3) he bao1 2 gfs. bao1 means the women are kept by him. of these 2 gfs one is just in jc!

4)he keeps buying ex stuff for the girls. like a few k watch or smth. and if he like the girl = give money

5)he say one day if they decide to leave him he will just let them go because it will seem wrong to hold them back. but in the meantime he will just keep showering them with money. (and of cos the girls wont wanna leave him right? as of now i reckon)

6)his children know about his stint but only his lawful wife does not know.( what on earth are the children thinking man! mayb cos their dad freaking too rich they dont wanna say anything. but its still like....!)

7)his advice for me is to marry a rich husband. O M G.

marianne called me midway while i was talking to him. then he was like " who called you?" me: (pretend to ignore his question). haha. apprehensive cos he is interested in young girls I THINK. roar. nonethless i must say he is good with words so it hav brought him to where he is today in life. yeh its good to be friendly, have a good sense of humour and be eager to have a sincere conv with pple! well his advice is like so... but i guess leading a comfortable life is quite impt. for me i really hope to earn enough money to buy a VERY NICE house. then with that shelter i want to build a family cos a house without family really means nothing at all. hollow. yeh:) thats my hope! same as corrine with regards to the house part. family part i not sure. if she dont wan family, then eh corrine you wanna share money buy a house then 2 of us live in it? hehe.

so which is for you? money or love? haiya in the meantime just think of ways to earn own money. love if meant to be then it will come. if not then cant force too.

anw my supervisor just told me dont have to go to hawker centres alr. im glad my stint in hawker centres are over alr. me speaking in chinese really CMI. seriously. next week will be dietary supplement and i have to go down to guardian this time.RAH. cant i just sit at the office and slack ard! ok shuddup cherlyn. i should be trying to learn as much as possible. yadadada.shuddup la cherlyn.

sometimes i wish things can be easier. like if dont want to be fat then exercise. v simple. just that sometimes have brain fight. oh well.

ok im off to continue work. its fri. i shall be good:)

bye

i was infected by my GL about the wonders of psych last night on my way home. we talked for the full journey home from NTU to boon keng (where she lives). haha. her enthusiasm is awesome. stories about hall life, random gossips, valuable advices :D i was so hyped about talking that i actually talked to twan on the phone when i came home for 45 mins till midnight and realised that i greatly deprived him of his beauty sleep. haha. poor boy has to wake up at 6am while i can sleep till the cows come home (*which i did ;) )

time table is out and its rather slack. max two classes a day. friday i end lesson at 1130am and thats it, can go home/slack/give tuition/go hall sleep. lol. taking two elecives: human resource management and spanish! yea. i think i mentioned this in my previous post?... memory failing man.

geared up with my timetable and map of NTU in case i get lost while finding for my tutorial classes. uni life is really independant, lots of freedom. everybody dress quite casually and go for lecture, lecturer wont take attendance, u wanna go,go. leave halfway also ur choice. haha. timetable so slack for me too. haha.

i wanna check out the washing machine, tv room, pantry and the SRC out soon. explore explore ;)

half day today:) why? had driving in the afternoon so when i asked if i had to come back to work after my driving (with innocent voice), my supervisor said dont have to cos obviously i will have to go down to hawker centres and by then it wud be a v weird timing. basically i finish the data entry part alr, now just have to go down to hawker centres to ask the hawkers more questions if they are currently using the healthier oil. and you know what? a lot of hawkers are not using the healthier oil which has less saturated fat. why? because quality not so good for deep frying or because its too expensive or supplier issues. have to prep myself for hearing more of these stuff in the next few days. just wondering which hawker centre will it be next. so far i have been to
1)amoy food centre
2)tiong bahru food centre
3)chinatown complex food centre
4)maxwell

Overall i think tiong bahru food centre pple are the nicest. mayb cos there the ambience is v slackerish so pple tend to be more friendlier i guess

Anw adj opp me have a new perm staff. what can i say bout her? she's very skinny, tall and always smiling. dont think i wanna talk to her. partly because im anti-social and the other half is cos im a temp so dont have to "talk" because usually "talk" means all bout work. but i like talking to my girl supervisor. her cheeks v cute. haha! cutest smile:)anw most of the other pple in my dept are in pretty good shape i must say. oh wells. they talk too loudly though:z

2more weeks! side note my male supervisor ask me if i can work 1 more week. OH NO! but anw im trying to get another job alr. so if it works out then wont be able to extend.

So here i am slacking half my day away. corrine didnt know today had lecture la. notify me last minute. so she's off to school for lecture and will be back V LATE! aiya i keep saying will buy carrot cake for the both of us but still not materialized as of yet. got craving for it lei. the cedele one. best ever tasted but v ex but i feel like buying 2! 6 bucks each! worth it cos its really good. i dont mind splurging on nice food but i HAVE to be v sure its nice and decently healthy if not will be like "what is going on"! that explains why i take v long to choose my food. me at amoy food centre during lunch hr just cannot work! haha. by the time i get my food my dad alr half finish and fruits bought. like -.-

as of now i just ate banana loaf with peanut butter and jam and my throat quite in a state of mayhem despite washing down cold milk. WHAT IS GOING ON! roar.

ok im off to find something else to eat:)

bye all!

this morning started with a run and then i made myself useful by driving my mom to the market. parking is still a problem cos i cant estimate properly when to reverse. it sucks when pple see the P PLATE and yet still so impatient with me. frantically honking me while i was parking -.-

got home before 10am to register for my electives. major blurring out the moment i got into the website but after a while got the hang of it. innocently clicked the courses i wanted and ended up disappointed. super little vacancies left so obviously i no chance :( chose human resource and spanish. (*gasps) yea. haha. hopefully i have fun and learn a new language though its only level 1!

and i just realise that the human resource lecture starts this evening! my gosh. i still bouncing around at home and now have to travel all the way to NTU. hmmm. 5.30pm till 8.30pm then i'll be coming back for the night. tmr afternoon take all my barang barang, brother fetching me there ;)

hate all these knitty gritty stuff involved when i'm making a transition out of my comfort zone. its like the human body system. when u dont get the usual amount of sleep for the first time, your body gets all umcomfortable but as u continue to get less sleep, ur body gets used to it. so hopefully i can get used to it soon. :D

i had a superb lunch just now. herbal soup chicken with mee sua! oh man... it was damn good. i topped it up with a smashing mango that just blew me off my feet. haha!

utterly satisfied now.

but i miss sisters day out, just like ystd at starbucks.!



is it time for a nap?...

--corrine--

the flame of enthusiasm for school is flickering and dying off... when school hasn't even started officially for me. lectures start tmr morning so i'm officially kickin my ass out of home sweet home and moving to hostel sweet hostel. moving into hostel has made me realise the comfort of home. everything is taken care of. from comfort to food to cleanliness of surroundings and clothes and slacker company of the pig. hee.

i wanna work hard and hopefully get a good job. and then... wait for it... yes. i'm gonna buy a nice comfortable house :D i think my fashion will be mediocre... so so but i want my house to be awesome.. jaw dropping. and when the number of gantries decrease and when car prices drop, thats when i'll get a sleeeek car :D oh man, corrine ho can u wake up ur idea... sorry was in dreamland just now. *slaps myself on the left cheek, still not awake, slaps the right cheek.

haha. no harm dreaming for motivation right? ;)

today is a full slack day man! last day to slack before school starts. i'm gonna savour the day and lick it dry :p lol! meeting the ball later at maxwell. whoooshy whooshy. bam bam! (*major zi-highing)

--corrine--
