For those who're interested, I'm now a certified driver!! I passed my driving test ... miraculously! Didn't expect to pass cause I mounted curb when I was parking that's like 10points already and I was certain in the middle of the test my total accumulated points was already over 20 ... but miracles happen and oh well in the end I passed and I guess that's all that matters ... now now ... i need a car hehe! But .. in the midst of all the joy and excitement, i forgot to buy my probation/triangle plate so as of now, i still can't drive le sigh!
Frolick today, and then off to ion to get my brother's birthday present, and then dinner and finally cuscaden (again!!). Last sat cuscaden, today cuscaden, this sat cuscaden again. At this rate i'm going, I think i'm going to fall sick. Throat already feels sore and hoarse, plus alcohol doesn't make it any better I reckon! I hope i don't fall sick at this time, shall cross my fingers!
Ankle is still not getting better, although the doctor says 2 to 3 days .. but it's still swollen and i really don't think it'll recover yet. I think it's because i've been doing alot of walking about these few days, not properly resting ... plus I took my bandage out yesterday to go for driving ... oh well, back to the doctor's tomorrow ... bye!

Haven't posted (publicly) in a really long time, have been blogging privately hehe. So yes, it's officially the holidays for me (since almost 2 weeks ago), and life .. has been ... good I suppose? Good, but so so so boring I swear! I think humans are really hard to please, I think I am really hard to please/satisfy. When there's school and too much work and so little time, we complain/I complain. When there's no school, too much time and no work, we complain as well. Sigh, humans.
That aside, i've been basically nua-ing my days away, with the exception of a few days going out and whatnots, but yeah the gist is just basically rotting. Saturday was spent w delly, we went to eat the damn good korean place for lunch. Satisfying, I must say. Damn satisfying. Then after that, made a damn impromptu trip to the Science Centre cause it was the last day of bodyworlds. Some exhibits at bodyworld were just too disgusting plus, the use of real humans made it alot creepier. Just imagine walking in a room full of dead people, scary right? Plus the placenta and whatnots were really .. gross but overall, it was really educational. And then it was L4D2 w desiree, spent like 2 hours there and still didn't manage to complete one entire campaign, sigh n00b alert!
Headed down to Cuscaden for wings and beer after that and I sprained my ankle. Wasn't really painful at first but when I got home, pain was friggin' unbearable, couldn't sleep so Dad sent me to the doctor yesterday afternoon and the pain has lessened so that's good .... but I've got driving test tomorrow don't know how sigh. Doctor say I should not walk for 3 days, stay at home, rest well, cannot drink cold water, cannot eat fried food and alot more. Plus, my period's here so its like cramps + muscle aches (cause of yesterday's full-day standing) + sprained ankle ... the weather's not making things any better as well. I hate this country!!
Anyway, I shall go now! Wish me luck for my test tomorrow and i'll blog soon, very busy this week! xx

Airport with delly to send Justin and Ken off today. The airport was full of koreans, all finished studying English in sg and heading back to their hometown, also met kclassmates who were sending their korean friends off too. Share a love-hate relationship w the airport, never liked it because I really hate goodbyes/farewells, but love it because it takes me away from this sunny island we call singapore.
Sigh, with so many koreans gathering at one place, kinda reminds me of the country and come to think of it, I really really miss Korea! With the holidays looming just around the corner (think friday) and nowhere to go ... sigh, the feeling is just not good you know? I really want to go to Korea, because I really want to meet up w everyone there, plus lbb! I miss him so so so much I swear, he's back in Korea again ... and he never came to sg to visit me after australia ... this is so sad! He's my first korean friend so it kinda means alot to me. Pops (oppa) as well, he was so nice to us when we were in Korea sigh! But but but, no one wants to go on a holiday w me le sigh, no munny no munny no munny how to go.
Have contemplated going alone this holiday, but ... am kinda scared, plus I don't think i'm independent enough, and i'm still struggling to speak korean properly not good! I might die there sigh! Oh well, I guess I'll just continue dreaming? ...
Or start studying for commiss, shall go attempt to study now. Wish me luck xx. -
Last fri was open house at Lyd's place, her mom whipped up really good hokkien mee and pigs in a blanket (at least i think that's what it's called). Oh, and we played DJ hero and her dog raccoon provided us w entertainment.

This big wolf here that can pass off as taylor lautner in twilight is raccoon and he's unbelievably still a puppy! He's only 8 months old and he can still grow bigger!! I'm normally not afraid of dogs (really love dogs), but this dog was .. quite scary the way it charged at visitors when we came to the house. But still, cute cute and I love! The funniest thing was Xuan's reaction when raccoon came near her omg funny!

He .. secretly scares me.

Sat was open house at my place, mom whipped up spaghetti for lunch, bakkutteh and sushi for dinner. Played mahjong for a few hours w delly, mere&jerome. Xuan, Jill and Lyds nua-ed on my bed most of the time ... while kin was teaching marcus how to play yellow by coldplay on the piano.
Sunday and Monday I just nua-ed at home, with my VLC player switched on 24/7, totally didn't have the motivation whatsoever to study at all (it was so bad!), but whatever at least PR's done and over. I will start on commiss after I finish procrastinating ... commiss exam on fri and after that i'll be as free as a bird (until april at least). Oh why oh why god, why am I not graduating this year why why wai wai wai?
Yesterday was PR exam, woke up early and went down to the salon to remove my extensions (finally!!), because I was playing with them the night before and suddenly five or six of them got tangled up so badly underneath I just had to do something about it. Oh well, at least I'm at least 1kg lighter now, but my hair ... is so short and I'm sad! I hope it grows le sigh!
Driving later on, and then have to head down to town to run some errands and then cityhall to meet delly and then airport! Sigh, quite sad that kimchipeepzx not in stinkapore already ...

Fourth day of CNY (wednesday) was open house at Xuan's place, as usual her house was filled to the brim w food and more food. The amount of food available at her house is crazy I swear. If a war was to happen here, I think the food can last her for like half a year or her family would be in charge of giving out food rations or something. Plus that's only all the tidbits. For cooked food there was beehoon, noodles, rice, chicken wings, chicken, sausages, sotong ball, chicken curry, chapchye and uh, i really can't remember. And then there was fruits. Auntie sally so cute, arrange the fruits so nicely haha.
So food aside, when the rest were playing poker, the poker-noobszx stayed in the room to play guitar hero and tennis. It was fun and I went home feeling so bloated and full - which is good.
Yesterday/fifth day of cny/thursday, went over to delly's place to visit her mother, studied one chapter of PR, and then we went grocery shopping and whipped up a good scrumptious meal - korean spicy soup. First attempt but I must say, it was pretty good! Shall cook it for lunch maybe later since I've got all the necessary ingredients, or I might just stick to tomyum or chicken abalone flavoured myojo (my love!). Out later again to Lyd's place, but for now I shall stop blogging and get back to my books!
Wish me luck for studying!

Chinese new year ... what's new? It's the same old routine every single year, from this house to this house to this house to this house, nothing ever changes. Not that it's a bad thing though, but it's not a good thing either.
Chinese new year is money, angbaos, bahkwa, kueh bangkit, tiger beer, steamboat and lots of familiar faces - This year was no exception. Only .. one thing, actually a very big thing, I haven't gambled at all ever since the new year started! Yeah, I know it's a very big thing i'm missing out since CNY is all about blackjack, daidee and all that shizzles but lately, I don't know why but it just doesn't intrigue me anymore, don't know why either. But I'm up for mahjong anytime. I really suck at card games so it's mahjong all the way for me (although I haven't played a game at all during CNY). Instead of card games/mahjong, my hands/fingers are really itching for a game of L4D2 ... what a geek i know!
Grandfather and I!
Mum.
Cherv.


Blackie!

Grandma and I!








In a nutshell, first day was waking up at an ungodly hour of 7am, grandfather's house, temple, rifle range road, grandmother's house and then finally back home. Second day was 7am again, temple again, ancestral hall, kim keat road and Nicki's house for dinner and then back home. Third day was (supposed to be) 7am again but in the end I woke up at 11, and then headed to aunt's place for lunch.






Pom!
What a cute dog right? Pom's 5 months old and he's really active ... kept on humping and humping, was really quite awkward because I'm not really close to my second-cousin who owns him so yeah. In fact, I think throughout my entire life I've spoken less than 10 sentences to him and his family.
That aside, this chinese new year has been really tiring and taxing ... I mean there's not much changes to the yearly routine of visiting but it must be because of the lack of sleep + school + growing old so, stamina not very good. I think by next year I would have aged alot too sigh. Old age is a disease! Oh, and the weather's not helping as well. Always during chinese new year period, the sun would be so scorching hot and the weather would be so humid, at the end of the day, taking like 5 showers won't help too. Always end up sticky/sweaty and angsty.
Exams next week so I guess I better start studying soon. Just spent 2 hours in front of my printer printing my notes and somehow, seeing those clean, freshly printed notes really make me feel like studying .. I know, I'm weird like that but look on the bright side, at least I feel like studying and I'm really motivated to study.

Damn pissed off now because firefox crashed on me and the blog post that I spent so many hours on is gone argh why isn't there a recovery function on xanga argh argh argh damn pissed and am damn lazy to start blogging again so I shall just summarize so you get the gist of the entire blog post that disappeared! Anyway, this is going to be a very photoheavy post ... so yeah.
In a nutshell, this week has been amazing with school (almost) out! and projects/assignments/presentations done, the feeling of (partial) liberation is too good to describe, it can't even be described in just mere words. Either way, you get the gist, life's good. Wednesday was final presentation day, failed CNY shopping w delly, indian fine dining and impromptu L4D2.
L4D2 IS AWESOME!
Nuaed the whole of thursday away cause I only woke up at 2pm, nuaed half of yesterday (friday) away and then headed down to the yacht club for vitty's 21st, which was insanely fun! Brought my DSLR along with me, it has been a really long time since I last brought it out/used it ... met the guys first at the yacht club and then the girls came. We all hid in the yacht's cabin to wait for the birthday girl to arrive w pravs. And then the door opened and surprise!
Pictures from my camera:

Zach and I.
Zach, Jessie, Neelz and I.
And, the birthday girl makes her appearance. She was so shocked/surprised because she thought she was going to JB together w her friends and apparently she filled up her white card and brought her passport along and all that haha damn funny.



Birthday girl and I.
Gwen, Jan and I.

Jan. (Andy's a v bad photographer haha blocking the flash)
Andy, Selvan, Zach, Jackson, Jan, Gwen and I on the yacht.
Selvan haha.
Zach.

Jackson, Andy and I.
Oh, and if you were wondering why I was barefooted the entire party all the way till I got home, my shoes broke sigh. My heels ...
HAHAHAHA. Best photo (Y). It was such a bad combination of butterscotch and fruit punch I swear I almost vomitted!

Some pictures from farah's Camera


Vithya's obviously very excited about something ...
Neelz, Jan, Gwen and Farah.

Oh yeah did I mention we went on a helluva yacht ride it was so fun! Sat in the front and I swear, given the speed of the boat and all the funny stunts and maneuvers it was going, I almost fell into the deep blue sea. But I swear it was so fun! I forgot to bring an extra set of clothes/swimwear so by the end of the night I was drenched and ... I had no shoes, felt so pathetic sighz. But yeah the yacht was friggin awesome!! I want to own a yacht too!!
Farah sent us out of that secluded place to get a cab. Argh, getting a cab was so so so hard last night, I tried almost all the cab companies in Singapore and after 30 minutes of calling and waiting and holding we still couldn't get one! It was so frustrating and exasperating! Cabbed home w jan, bathed because the sea water was ruining my hair, and then d/led vampdiaries and went to sleep.
It was great meeting up w the SA people after so so so long, maybe close to 2 years. Such an awesome feeling to catch up w old friends, made me miss going to SA a little bit, just a little bit. So yeah I was feeling bored today, woke up at 12ish and then looked through my old photobucket account and old desktop harddisk and look what I found!


Jessie, Vith and I attempting to look .. like ... one particular race in sg.
Pimple cover-up.
Jan!




HAHAHA Vitty's classic face.









Halloween costume shopping!

Project work. Robert Geoffrey Edwards was the bane of our lives.

Zach!
Farah, Neelz, Jan and I.
I think this was when I was in year one in poly when I went out w Zach and bumped into Vitty! I remember Zach's and Vitty's first words (at different times), "WHY YOU GROW SO SHORT VAL?"

This was in 2008 if I'm not wrong, class gathering!


2007! During class bbq! Jessie, love your face it's classic!
So innocent looking haha.

Vitty's 19th!
BBQ.
My 17th birthday!

Halloween 2007.

Finally! After so many days/weeks/months of hard work, no sleep, sweat, pain, blood and whatnots, our magazine, BOLD, is finally completed and handed in on friday. Thank god, really, because I've never felt so relieved in my entire life before, and I've never treasured sleep that much before either. Don't belittle this 20-page magazine here because you have no idea how much work was put into producing this little baby, this expensive baby...
So yes, it's sunday again and after today, tomorrow's officially the start of the last week of year 2 school (minus the fact that we've got exams to study for), but omg I honestly can't wait for wednesday next week because after wednesday, we've officially ended our projects/assignments and what nots, and then I can go shopping for my chinese new year clothes without any worries (it's not the time to worry about exams yet), and not think about anything other than just having fun - which i have been having the entire weekend!
This weekend has been awesome for one damn obvious reason - no more photoshop/indesign for feature writing. Enough of harping on feature writing/school, but honestly, I'm so so so relieved! After handing in magazine on friday, went to greatworldcity for dinner at kushinbo w family and agnes jiejie and soonheng korkor. It was so awesome I swear, that meal really made up for the lack of proper meals during the entire week we were rushing work. I ate 5 bowls of scallop ginseng porridge, 20 crab leg/pincer thingums, shabu shabu, and many other random things here and there. For dessert it was like cream puffs, ice cream and hot hot hot sake which was so good.
Saturday was last k-class in the afternoon, and then early reunion dinner with family, adele and boklai of which we had wine and cognac and then after that I went to Clarke Quay to meet kenny. Pub-hopped from Highlander to Mulligans to Clinic to Indochine. Awesome night I must say! We tried the cranberry vodka syringe thingy from Clinic which was pretty amazing I must say, given that I'm not a big fan of vodka. And then at Indochine, there was this -14 degrees celsius cold room. By the end of the night, the both of us were quite nua already after pub-hopping, and doing crazy stuff, so we nua-ed a little more and headed to the cold room after that to experience the cold. Only vodka shots were available inside. Imagine the coldness we felt, hands couldn't stop trembling and I swear the shot-glasses were all shaky and all that as well. Thank god it was just a short 5 minutes, any longer and I think we could have died! Good experience though! Chilled a little while and watched the reverse bungee in action by the river before heading home.
Today, woke up at 12 .. nua-ed .. nua-ed some more ... nau-ed a little more and watched Hachiko: A Dog's Tale. Most beautiful movie ever I must say! I couldn't stop crying. I didn't even attempt to control myself from crying, I just locked my room door and wailed wailed and wailed ... and after that movie, I just laid on my bed, feeling sad ... and then I went back to sleep again. Damn unproductive day I must say, but hey! I'm definitely not complaining. It's so stress-free and relaxing to spend sundays like that ... I like i like i like! I wish every sunday could be like that.
Exactly one more week to CNY/Valentine's, and honestly speaking ... I'm not looking forward to it as much anymore ... oh well. Bye!

I know I haven't been blogging that regularly, but which the ginormous amount of workload we have, it's really impossible to have the time to sleep, much less blog. Plus, ever since we all had twitter, blogging seems really .... i don't know unnecessary? Oh well.
Had our first editorial photoshoot which was the last photoshoot (hopefully) for BOLD yesterday afternoon. Photos looked alright on the camera then but then on the computer it looked really really bad because of the lights. But we have to make do with what we have because we have no time to do other photoshoots! Had milestone#2 for webdesign yesterday as well, even though it was not the final presentation, we had to dress up and all that shizzles. Thank god presentation wasn't as bad as I thought it would be - although there's still a lot of stuff that we'd have to re-do and improve on for final presentation which is ... two weeks from now. Really hope we don't screw up because i really don't want to re-take webd all over again and go through all this shit all over again; it's just not worth it.
Honestly can't wait for the studybreak/holidays to come. 2 more weeks to study break and 1 more month to the holidays. 1 more month to the end of year 2, how fast how very fast time passes by. Have been searching online for places to chill and relax (maldives, bintan, taiwan etc) during the holidays because this holiday is going to be the last holiday ever for my poly life if the interview with the YOG organisers go well. This year seems to pass really quickly. It was just 2009, and now it's going to be the second month of 2010 already! Everything just seems to zoom past so quickly. Pretty soon, we'll have to be choosing our electives, the end of the holidays, the start of year 3 sem 1, the end of sem 1, YOG, and then the start of internship. Internship. The word itself seems so daunting, it feels really scary and intimidating to be out in the workforce. I'm still not prepared for it, still want to be protected in school ... in simple words, I'm still not ready to spread my wings and fly. (HAHA)
It being almost the second year of 2010 also means another thing - CNY is coming. Argh, I haven't really bought all my CNY clothes/necessities yet, with so much assignments due and milestones to overcome and all that school shizzles where to find the time to go and buy clothes? But honestly, as ironic as it seems, I really can't wait for CNY to come because it always means one thing - munny munny munny hehe, just the thought of it makes me really really happy. It's good to be happy because MCM never fails to make us miserable .... Plus I already know what to spend my munny on, see I plan my finances! It's always better to plan right right right? Oh and as for the new year resolution concerning Frugality? All I can say is, don't ever make new year resolutions!!
So many things to do, so little time. Have to finish up magazine design by tonight and print it tomorrow argh wish me luck I really hope I can finish. I can, I must, I will!! Really thank god it's thursday, because thursday = stay at home/sleep-in and do work later day.
