My tummy seems unwell too.. have the feeling to vomit the whole day.. argh.. feel so terrible.. don't wish to skip class tomorrow but can I make it school? I'm afraid I'll probably faint the moment I leave my house..
Hope that I'll be able to make it to school on Friday.. I need to return the old wireless card, or else they'll charge me for it.. Bah~
Bones are aching all over but I still have to go back to bed.. *sigh*

Monday, July 26, 2004 Broken-down VanSo we went to have dinner at Chinatown and then went over to Rav to spend our night there chilling out.. Alan's friends joined us too.. I was pretty surprised to know that the place was having 'Gays Night' from 3-6am.. Rav had changed so much under the new staff management.. *shakes head* Terrible..
Today: Had only 2 hours of sleep.. Dad, bro and I went to visit my grandma.. Was heartbroken to see my grandma tear today.. *sigh*
I'm down with a fever today.. Peak temperature was 39.8 degrees.. It was a little better than my previous time when I was ill.. The temperature that time was 40.1 degrees.. Anyway, I have to consult a doctor tomorrow, although I don't wish too.. I feel so weak to get out of my house.. Hope that my temperature subsides, so that I don't have to make my way to the doctor.. =)

Thursday, July 22, 2004 Skipped SchoolAnyway, Alicia and marilyn's sis wanted to go Rush before heading down to Zouk.. So I've got no choice but to bear with the techno for an hour or so.. Don't like going to that place so I was like half dead there..
Reached Zouk around midnight and met up with the other girls there.. The place was crowded with Mambo partygoers.. Was surprised to have bumped into 2 old friends last night.. 1 was botak(that's his nick), and the other was Alvin.. Both of them were friends that I knew during my secondary school days.. Nice seeing them again..
Left the place after some shaking of the body and 2 bottles of cider.. Couldnt drink more 'cause I still had to attend 8am lessons the next day.. Alan came to fetch me home after that and I got to see his half completed bike.. He sprayed it orange-yellow 'cause he knew I like orange so much.. =)
Today: Oh god, I've sinned.. Woked up at 6 plus in the morning but I was so tired I decided to go back to sleep and forget about going to school.. Heheh.. So here I am now slacking at home.. Shall not go mambo-ing during school days anymore.. Anyway, yesterday was just my 1st time after months of no clubbing.. So it's still acceptable ya? =D

Saturday, July 17, 2004 Memorable DayIt's been 10 days since I last updated this little space here.. Something must be worth taking down for me to be back here blogging again.. There you go:
My pic that was taken during the Mean Girls screening has been pubished in Teenage magazine's August issue.. I looked kinda afraid in that pic.. haha

I was really stressed up in school yesterday.. Robin was absent and I had to complete a difficult task.. I couldn't manage it and wanted to just pack up and go.. After second thoughts, I decided to stay on and get a grade.. So I simply threw the work to let the others do.. As I have expected, it turned out bad..
Despite all these, yesterday was still 1 of the happiest day I've ever had..
Alan came to fetch me from school and we went to J8 for a walk.. We glanced upon a set of La Bi Xiao Xin mini characters in a glass cabinet and I just said that it was really cute.. So we took a look inside the shop and when I walked out, I was surprised to see that the set was already gone.. So fast? Then I realised that Alan had bought it for me.. So nice of him.. =D
We went to grab a bite then he sent me home to rest..
He came to pick me up at night and we went to Cineleisure to purchase tickets to watch King Arthur.. We still had 2 and a half hours before the show so he brought me to Mount Faber.. (No weird thoughts please.) He said he wanted to show me the pirate ship he was telling me earlier on..
He brought me to a place where we were able to see scenery of the surroundings.. It was really beautiful.. Then he led me to a staircase.. It was pretty dark and I soon figured out a playground in front.. I walked towards it and looked to my left.. To my surprise, I saw a huge display of tea lights on the sand in the shape of a heart.. In the heart, lies my name made out using flower petals and a bouquet of roses with Ferrero Rocher.. The stone walls were placed with tea lights and the ground was filled with flower petals and tea lights too.. Omg~
Which girl wouldn't be touched in that situation? He put in a great deal of effort to plan for the day and set up this.. Really appreciate him for doing this.. Thank you Alan!

The heart that was only part of the whole display..
Bouquet of roses with Ferrero Rocher
After we left the place, we went back to Cineleisure to catch our movie.. While we were having a drink outside the place, we happened to see an accident between 2 taxis.. They bumped into each other and 1 of them crashed into a road sign and over the road divider to the other side.. Wow.. We seemed to be watching an action movie even before we enter the cinema..

The rain had just ended when we finished watching the show so we went to eat at Selegie Kopitiam.. I then told Alan that it would rain again and it would last for quite long.. But he was pretty sure that it wouldn't rain again.. Minutes later, it really rained.. Haha.. I was right as it was a huge downpour and it lasted for 2 hours.. We had to wait for the rain to stop and it was already morning when I reached home..
It was a long and tiring day, but I enjoyed it.. =)
Movie: King Arthur
Clive Owen, is 'Artorius' or Arthur, the hero of Roman and British parentage eulogized in the ancient Celtic poem. Like his loyal Knights, he sees only chaos and devastation will follow Rome's final pullout of Britain. Although, as a dedicated Christian he is desperate to return to Rome to influence the budding religion, his first loyalty is to his pagan Knights. Arthur sees his duty is to free them from their servitude to Rome so they may return to their ancestral homeland in Sarmatia.However, before he can, he must lead his Knights of the Round Table on one last mission, deep into enemy territory on a quest of adventure and profound enlightenment.
Here, Arthur, Lancelot, Galahad, Bors, Tristan, Dagonet and Gawain are forced to confront their traditional enemy: Merlin and his indigenous guerilla armies. Disdainfully called 'Woads' by the Knights for the Woad plant they use to dye their bodies, Arthur and his Knights will see these guerillas are the soul of Britain, devastated by generations of Roman rule.
Now, with Rome gone, and without the help of Arthur and his knights, the invading Saxons will roll over the people like an avalanche.Under the guidance of the shaman, Merlin and the beautiful, courageous Guinevere (Keira Knightley), Arthur will struggle to find the strength to fors ke his dreams of Rome to 'become a leader in this land,' and to change the face of history.

Wednesday, July 07, 2004 Connie & CarlaSunday: Went out to watch Euro Finals.. Portugal lost? Oh my~ Bumped into Jane and was surprised she knew my friends too..
Monday: Met up with Elynn to watch Connie & Carla.. It was free preview and we had an extra pair of tix so I called Alan and Ronnie along too.. I like this comedy.. About drag queens and it was really good.. After that we went to chill out at Mr Bean's Cafe with his friends..
Tuesday: Alan brought me to J8 in search of the big Chuppa Chups lollipop.. But it was out of stock already.. *sigh* So he bought the small ones for me.. To my surprise, he bought one of each flavour instead.. and it's a total of 18! Wah.. I'll eat till my teeth decay.. haha..
His friend treated a group of us to go to a ktv pub at Robertson Quay.. Coincidentally, I saw Grace who's working there.. Had a few games of pool and a song or two.. The place closes early during weekdays so we went to Marina South for billiard.. By the time I reached home, it was already 5 in the morning..
Today: I skipped school.. It's my 1st time in this semester.. Heheh.. Anyway I was about to do my design journal, when I saw that my grade was already out for that module.. I don't have to do already.. -___-"
Think I'm gonna revise a little for my programming test tomorrow.. I have been slacking nowadays and my grades are kinda dropping.. *sigh* I seem to have forgotten about Java which I've learnt for the past 2 months.. Oh no oh no.. It's time I buck up a little.. Get to work van! stop playing already! *poutz*
Movie: Connie & Carla
Description: Vardalos and Collette play Connie and Carla, two struggling Chicago dinner theater performers who accidentally witness a mafia hit...and who subsequently hit the road, running for their lives. Assuming the killers will never look for them in a place devoid of culture, the pair head to Los Angeles, where they assume new identities and find their middling talent at song and dance perfectly suited to new careers--as drag queens.
Much to their surprise, they inadvertently become the toast of the cabaret circuit. As their ruse becomes increasingly difficult to maintain, they discover that it is indeed lonely at the top, especially after Connie meets Jeff (Duchovny), a guy she'd really like to be a real girl with. With the mafia zeroing in and the line separating their onstage/offstage personas blurring beyond the point of recognition, Connie and Carla soon discover the power of not compromising to pursue your dreams, fighting the good fight, and never, never underestimating the transformative power of cosmetics.

Sunday, July 04, 2004 Spider-man 2Friday: Met up with Alicia, Marilyn some others in town.. Went over to Centrepoint as the girls wanted to shop and we bumped into Elynn coincidentally.. Alicia accompanied me to Wala Wala as I was meeting Terry there.. The live band simply rocks! It was already 11 when we reached there 'cause Alicia was taking her own sweet time.. The place was full house and I was just 5 mins late to catch Yellow by the band.. Argh.. Anyway, I realised that there were quite a number of ex-ij girls there too..
Terry won a pair of tickets to Connie and Carla on Monday from answering a question given by the band.. Here goes the question: "Guess how heavy Joe(the band's drummer) is!" Haha.. Terry got it right with the answer of 98kg.. He then passed the tickets to me.. He knows I am a movie maniac.. =D I've also received my present from him.. It's a bangle engraved with my name, in a box full of clear balls(from the Martell's bottles)..
I like Wala just like how Terry does.. The atmosphere was good and I never get bored with the nice music.. But Alicia doesn't seem to blend in well there.. She's more of a party person..
Anyway, we left at around 1plus and sent Alicia home.. Terry and I then joined his friends at Newton Food Centre before heading down to Cineleisure for movie.. The movie ended at 6 in the morning and it was pouring heavily.. Nice weather to cuddle my pooh to sleep.. =)
Saturday: Stay home saturday..
Today: Woke up kinda early today.. Although I slept at 3 last night, I could wake up at 9am.. Hmm.. It's a miracle for me.. By the way, it's Chaowei's big day today.. Happy Birthday To You~!
Movie: Spider-man 2
Description: Two years have passed, and the mild-mannered Peter Parker faces new challenges as he struggles with "the gift and the curse," desperately trying to balance his dual identities as the web-slinging superhero Spider-Man and his life as a college student. Tormented by his secrets, Peter finds that his relationships with all those he holds dear are in danger of unraveling. His life-long yearning for M.J. (Kirsten Dunst) becomes even stronger as he fights the impulse to reveal his secret life and declare his love.
His friendship with Harry Osborn (James Franco) is complicated by the young Osborn's bitterness over his father's death and his growing vendetta against Spider-Man. Even Peter's beloved Aunt May (Rosemary Harris), who has fallen on hard times after the death of Uncle Ben, begins to have doubts about her nephew.
Peter's life is about to become even more complicated as he encounters a formidable new foe -- Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina).
