I know I haven't blogged for a long time.. Sad to see after such a long hiatus, the tag-board is down.. I'll miss seeing tags on my blog.. Can somebody please go fix it..?

Anyway, I've finished my service at Starhub.. Probably gonna miss a few people there, but I'm at the same time glad I'm gone, over and done with the stressful work.. Been too caught up with work and reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, I haven't had much time to blog.. Sorry for the disappearance.. So I finally have the time to blog, and go out and really have some fun, and catch up on a lot of quality sleep..

Did a lot of thinking these weeks.. Like times when I zone out while I was doing work.. Thinking about how innocent life used to be.. And after stepping out into the working world, I realised what I had always thought the world to be, is not what it seems.. People can just treat you like you don't exist..

I keep thinking about the times in AHS.. I really have this wish that I hope I can one day fulfil.. And that is, to play another game of Captain's Ball (or according to what Mr Tam said, it's Capstan Ball) with my 4dians.. Playing Capstan Ball is something that our class always looked forward to, or at least, my clique does.. We can even play into recess time sometimes.. Sometimes girls versus guys, even though we know that we will have difficulty winning, we've always fought hard and try to beat the guys.. I miss my AHS life a lot.. AHSChoir.. Times at Pita Deli.. Choir trip.. Boingers.. I wish life now is like how it was back then..

Been facing a lot of complicated issues.. And sometimes I wish there is someone who can tell me straight in the face what to do.. I guess that's what education has done to me.. Spoon-feeding me all the time that I cannot even solve my problems myself.. I really wish God would tell me what to do though.. But I am thankful at the same time, that he sent angels to me disguised as friends, to support me and go through this period of uncertainty..

I wanna go cycling.......

Here's a brief view of what happened on Thursday, 14th July 2005! Go read Sinsiu's blog for more details. Hehe.




We

went to Big O, and here's the first dish! Soup, got this crumbly thing

on top that I've always loved, but fail to know what it's name is! This

is spinach and potato soup I think..






Whee..... THIS!!! is something-something-something lamb.. The name is super long, I can't remember.. =X




FISHY... Nice of course!!








Sinsiu and her "birthday cake". SURPRISE!!








We eat and eat.. suddenly we noticed the heart shape. Hahahaha..





Ok end of story.. in a hurry to meet my cousin at Orchard!!

Sorry if the photos are too big... Too lazy to resize them!





Birthday celebration on the fateful 11th July!




This is my Korkor!




This is my Aunty Linda!




My Mummy :D




My little brother!






GRAMS!!! Muackz!!




Me making my wish.. Oops.. What did I wish for?






The cake from Sin Chew cake shop.. Looks creamy huh.. But it's

supposedly non-fattening.. Oh well.. I didnt stuff myself much with it

anyway. Thankfully! Hee.





Realised that all the pictures got the cheese with two fingers sign?

Haha.. Well birthday girl's request.. How can they reject!! Hehe.





It's 13th July already.. 8 more days! Haha. I believe in 12 days of

birthday. I came up with that la actually. SO.. In anycase, I still

welcome presents, dates, dinners, etc!





Yawnz.. Will blog more if I have the energy after I wake up.. Gotta sleep!!! ZZzzz....

Posted here are some photos, some quite old, some are very recent.. I shall post them all up anyway.. Haha.




This

is a scene at Orchard Road during Singapore Street Festival.. I thought

it's quite cute to see two guys dressed in some robes and posing like

char taos.. Haha..




My first gyoza at Ken's place!




Took

this photo while I was with Jean and Xueli on a food trip to.. Er..

Baker'z Inn Cheesecake. Haha. That's Megawati on the currency. Saw this

at an ulu shop on our way there. Meant to be a joke la I suppose..




This

is me at the changing room in Bugis' Seiyu. Muahaha. I like the skirt

leh, but ex!! From Fashion-Lab, if I didn't remember wrongly.. See this

Huijun? Purple skirt!




Hohoho.. This is a picture of Ken-san, holding the chopstick as a microphone, singing me my birthday song! Cute ah?




This is the box of chocolates that Ken-san bought for me. Still got ribbon one leh!!




This flower is taken while us 4 sistas were having tai-tai breakfast at my house pool-side.. Haha.




EEEEEEEyore!

On my piano.. Either Wilson placed it there, or I did.. Since Wilson

don't do such silly things, means I did it.. Haha. Eeyore's trying to

learn piano.. But no fingers, how???






This is Ching and Jeff at their wedding! Sigh.. She's so pretty!

-swoon- So yah, that's them at the sanctuary, smiling like a happily

married couple, with their wedding cert there!

Don't know where I should start blogging from.. Very tired from work, but I decided that I die die must blog now. Anyway.. Finally found the cd to re-install my bluetooth device to my comp.. So I can finally put up pictures again! It's been very eventful the past few days.. Starting from celebration with Cherie, Ting and Shin.. Photos are on Cherie's blog, go look at them..

Saturday was.. I can't remember. I did nothing except work at night I think. Ken-san sang me a birthday song! Lolx. I made him do it one la.. Haha. Gave him chopsticks, and ask him to hold it like a microphone. He didn't want to at first, because he said he's shy! But I insisted, and there he goes.. "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Teresa, Happy Birthday to you!" Hahahaha.. So honoured man.. Lolx. Thomas and Zou Hui were very amused! Hee.

On Sunday, went to church for choir.. After that met my mum and brother to eat Sakae Sushi AGAIN.. Birthday celebration la. Went shopping again.. I bought 2 tops, and a pair of heels.. Yay! Anyway I just realised I have $20 of Fox vouchers still unused.. I shall go buy more clothes for myself! =D That was at Bugis.. Then Mum and Bro left and went home, while I waited for Wilson.. We went to this place (which I don't know where it is or what it is called) to eat murtabak. Ok, I didn't eat much, because I was still very full from the afternoon feast! Enjoyed the times spent with him though.. So we strolled, yada yada yada.. All the way till 12 midnight.. Haha. Memorable start of the 19 year old..

Took leave from Starhub and Ken's on Monday.. Slept till noon, went to Wilson's house to slack around, then went down to Parkway's Bioskin for this O2 Plasma facial thing.. NTUC Income has this promotion for only $39.90, when the actual was supposed to be about $200+.. So I decided to go down and pamper myself, be it good or not. Haha. Very shuang, because got shoulder massage and head massage.. I think I really deserve it! Then went down to my grandma's place for another celebration.. Had my favourite fried beehoon with sardine, mee suah with egg and mushroom, fried chicken wings and drumsticks, some sweet soup and a birthday cake! Ok maybe you guys probably gonna think it's not really sumptuous or anything, but they're all my favourite food! It's the thought that counts anyway. I feel pampered enough. =)

Pictures will be posted in the next entry!

Wanna thank those who wished me a Happy Birthday, be it face-to-face, via phone, via sms, via msn, via e-card, via testimonial, via tags, etc.. Those people are namely Wilson, Cherie, Ting, Shin, Leslie, Jean, Sinsiu, Don, Ken-san, Lisa from noodle house, Shimin from Starhub, Xiuxiu, Vivien, Faith, Derek, Ah Ma aka ChingSiang, Yo Man aka Darren, Huijun, Charles, Lydea, Best Friend aka Benson, Camel aka Jude, Mum, Bro, Yumi, Korkor, Jiejie, Aunt Linda, Darling Grams, Amanda, Clare, Floy, Bazang, Dimpy, Brandon, Ms Wee, Felice, and Justin.. Did I miss anyone out? I hope not!

Anyway.. Did I mention that Ken-san gave me a birthday present today? Haha. I was so surprised! He passed me this cold storage plastic bag, with a box of chocolates inside from er.. what's that. Called Sin I think.. He gave it to me and I was like, huh? He said, "Birthday Present!" -GASP!- A present for me! Who would have thought that he would buy one? Lolx I told him I'm surprised, and he said that I wrote my birthday on the calendar so big!!! So he got me a present lor. Hahahaha.. Can laugh till I pengz. Though it's just a box of chocolates, I'm still very gan dong! At least, while he was shopping at Cold Storage, haha, he remembered me and got me a present! Whee.... So honoured ah.. Wanna see pictures? Hehe.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHERIE, LESLIE, THE TAXI UNCLE WHO DROVE ME HOME AFTER MY WORK AT NOODLE HOUSE, AND OF COURSE TO MYSELF!!! =D

I love myself to bits.. Haha. Shall blog more tomorrow, if I have the time... Sweet 19!

Just woke up about half an hour ago.. Nice to catch up a little on sleep again.. Nothing much going on till late afternoon.. Meeting my japanese cousin for tea and then off to work at ken's place! Currently listening and downloading Mr Children's songs.. Don't know why I like them.. Maybe it's because I've been listening to Ken-san playing it on his ipod, that's why I got influenced.. Haha.

Nothing much to do online nowadays.. Waiting for people to come and talk to me.. Looking forward to buying the gown and get ready to be a pretty bride's maid! :D

Life's full of hopes with goals to push us on.. So.. My goals will be.. To dabian everyday.. To do well in uni, hopefully I do very well so I can transfer course.. Alamak. Not many big big things to look forward to. Somehow, I think being a grown up sounds.. Boring. So no-life. Work work work, stress stress stress.. I so wanna get away from this place!

Ok, enough of my ramblings.. I've only 2 days left (including today) before I'm no longer 18.. But never mind, I'll still be a.. er.. Sweet 19! =X Okok don't throw eggs at me please..

I wanna get a Swiss Army Knife.. If only I bought them yesterday at the warehouse sale near my office! -regretting-

Boring saturday.................

I just got home not long ago.. Had a little celebration with Cherie, Ting and Shin! To summarize it all, we had alot of fun, food and laughter. Too tired to elaborate about it.. Took alot of pictures.. Go Cherie's blog to see if you must.. Or wait till she send them to me and I load them into my blog.. Life's good with them around.. I don't need Wilson! Haha.

Technically speaking, it's 9th July already.. Another 2 more days.. Was feeling quite excited about my birthday, but I sorta lost the enthusiasm already.. I took the whole day off from work, even the night shift at NHK too. I sorta planned a little, decided on what I might do on that day..

1. Go cycling. Haven't done that in ages, and I've been itching to cycle.
2. Watch a movie. Haven't watched a single movie in EONS!! It's a Monday anyway, weekday rate.
3. Go clubbing. Never clubbed in my whole 18th year.. So maybe I should go clubbing since I'm already 19 soon.
4. Sleep at home. Pay back my sleep debt before I end up with sleep disorders.
5. Treat myself to Old Chang Kee's curry puff.
6. Maybe pop down to Ken's place for a gyoza or tori kara-age. Haha. Or if I decided that I'm too bored, I shall work at night.

I don't mind if anybody wanna ask me out for a belated celebration.. I believe in 12 days of birthday! If anybody wanna get me an mp3 player...... maybe think twice.. Because I've taken a liking for Creative Zen Micro.. (triple gasp!) =X Material possessions aside, my birthday wishes are:

a. For Wilson to get well, to be healthy and strong..
b. For everyone to be happy with their lives and whatever they are doing..
c. For a more peaceful and carefree life for myself..

Hm.. Suddenly I miss the times I had in AHS.. So fun.. Havoc.. Less stressful.. Miss the friends there.. Miss the attention I get from my friends last time.. -yawnz- oops.. Sleepy.. ZZzz....

Met up with Bazang

Adelene and Jacelyn on Wednesday for dinner at Plaza Singapura.. It's

always full of laughter with them around! Many things to talk about,

many things to laugh about.. I'm glad I took photos with them for

keep's sake. Quite well-taken, because I think the lighting is not bad.

:D They made my day!






This is Ade and me..




This is me and Jacelyn..




This is us!! :D





These are the nicer photos of course.. You should have seen the photos they took when they were at the Science Centre.. *gasp*





Gonna leave my house in a while to meet up with Cherie, Ting and Shin

to celebrate our birthday.. I don't know why, but I'm not exactly in

the mood to celebrate anything.. Think I'm a little too tired from

work.. Hope they'll be able to perk me up! I'm hungry.........

Hm.. Another addition to my wishlist.. Borders book vouchers? I wanna get the american book version of Harry Potter.. Hehe.

Supposed to be working now.. But I'm waiting for my system to churn out the excel sheet so I can continue with the next rate input.. Don't know why, the laptop is rather slow today.. Monday blues maybe? Haha.

To Crie's tag: Thanks for loving me jie! He's not meifu though, mind you.. =P Looking forward to meeting you guys this Friday!

To Jean's tag: Laughing your own trademark monstrous laugh? Hahahaha.. We must continue planning our celebration again soon!! Thinking of the yummy food.. -slurps- :d

Yesterday was another great day for me.. That's because I finally bought the coat that I said I like very much! The one that I mentioned in one of the previous posts.. The one from My Changing Place.. The one that is supposed to be about $80? Yup.. THAT ONE.. I finally bought it!! WHEEEEE.... I'm so happy! Actually it wasn't on 30% discount anymore.. But that uncle (ok, he's very young, that guy..) said he can still give me 30% discount if I buy it.. I said I still wanna reconsider.. Asked him how many are left, and he replied about 3-4 more. GASP!! How can I not buy it!! Well I left the shop with Wilson, walked around Bugis for a while, and came back to buy the coat. YAY!!! So I bought it. My prized possession!! :D

Wilson brought me to Katong, then to Marine Parade to walk and buy pao pao cha.. There was this Cenosis thing going on.. And I went to try the fat analysis thing. Oops. Results show that I gotta shed some fats off the lower part of my body. And gain some weight on I cannot remember where. My upper part of the body I guess? Anyway, I gained 1 kg.. =( I'm 55kg now!!! Maybe I should go running.. Cycling is better.. Hehe. Anyone wanna volunteer to go cycling with me? Huijun? Yes? Haha. Oh that reminds me.. I'm going ice-skating on the 17th!! YAY!! Maybe I'll finally learn how to skate properly! Whee......

Oh, let me continue about yesterday.. Dinner was.. SUPER EXPENSIVE!!! Wilson brought me to this Japanese restaurant at Katong.. Called Wahiro restaurant I think.. Nice place to eat.. But really ex.. He ordered a set meal that costs $30, I ordered Soba for about $9+, Chawanmushi for $5.80 I think, one Onigiri.. Goodness.. Add up to a total of $63+!! =X He paid for it.. And said that's a birthday treat. Wah.. Wo3 chi1 bu4 xiao1 leh.. Then we went to eat ice-cream after that.. Piangz.. He really can eat alot lor.. How he bao chi so miao tiao........

All in all, great day for me yesterday.. About 1 or 2 days ago I sent Ms Tham a message to say I missed her.. Lolx. And last night, she sent a message that went like this: "Happy youth day, POCS! Miss you too. Hugs." AW............ I miss her hugs!!!! Haha. Ok. It's always nice to hear from her, because she always gives me this reassuring feeling that everything will just turn out fine. Hehe.

Just remembered that it's many people's birthday.. Yo man, Alex Chan, Ken Goh and Yong Ming.. Out of 4 people, probably 2 of them don't really remember me anymore.. But never mind, I wish them a happy birthday anyway!! Happy Independence Day to everyone too.. Haha. Let's be independent people and not some dependent slugs (though I know that that's not what Independence Day really means.. =P)!

Meeting Jacelyn and Adelene on Wednesday night at Plaza Singapura's Cafe Cartel entrace.. Meeting Cherie, Ting and Shin at Cartel again for dinner on Friday night.. And I think Kane's organised a meeting on Sunday afternoon.. So I'll have to have my celebration with my mum and brother on that Sunday night instead.. Whee.. Busy week. :D I'm looking forward to meeting everyone again! Must take pichier take pichier! (Muahaha. Jean, this is the collect sperring leemembel?)

I'm in a terrific mood today. -Beams-

Finished bathing, finished reading my friends' blogs.. Tired sia.. Worked afternoon and night shift.. Didn't rest my feet much.. My first time doing afternoon shift.. That was quite fun! Quite a lot of people, but I'm glad that I could handle. My first time working with Sim! He's another chao buaya la. Haha. He's dying to get a girlfriend! That's for being 28 years old (means he needs to get married soon).. Got a surprise from my colleague Alex.. I was just looking out of the shop and I saw him walking towards the shop in a sporty attire. Lolx! I chatted with him a while.. Asked him why he was here. He replied that he popped by a lot of times to see whether I was on shift, just that I never noticed! Aw..... So nice of him.. Haha. He doesn't read blogs I suppose, but I thought I'd just say a "Thanks for the pleasant surprise!!" here. Hehe.

I was getting sleepy by night shift.. I think that is because when there are 2 waitresses, work is less when customers are few. The first hour was quite torturous.. Rather quiet.. Then more people came after that hour.. Wilson came by to eat again.. Haha.. There's no need to eat so much just to see me you know.. Haha.. He ate one Cha Siew Ramen with big portion, one Gyoza, one sour plum Onigiri. WHAT A HUGE APPETITE!!! Gasp. Not forgetting that he downed I-cannot-remember-how-many cups of water. I appreciate his presence though.. I felt less sleepy when he was around. Wahahaha.

There's this sicko customer today.. He couldn't sit still, like waving his hands about, and behaved just like a kid when he's already old enough to be a dad. That was not so bad YET.. Before he left, I gave him his change. HE ASKED FOR A KISS ON THE CHEEK!!!! %$#%^&*(#@! If NHK is my restaurant, I'd have slapped him in his face!!! Of course I didn't accede to his request la. That sicko. He left when I shook my head, and I told Zou Hui about it. She said she knew he's like this, so that's why she couldn't be bothered about him. WHAT?!? And she didn't tell me about it.. Pengz. If I'm warned at least I'll be more wary of him. So now I know.. -thought about psycho ah pek sends shivers down spine-

Today's earnings are quite good! And btw, I got my pay today! But I haven' received pay from Recruit Express.. Sigh.. I hate waiting.. I have no patience! Anyway, I'm going to go down to Bugis again tomorrow to see if the coat that I like is still on sale.. If so, maybe I'll part with my money to give myself a birthday present! =D Oh.. I'm feeling really sleepy already.. Meeting Wilson to go shopping tomorrow.. Gotta turn in.. Happy Sabbath!

I strongly believe that there're many people in this world who loves me.. See how the people try to protect the trees..? Green movement.. Anti-deforestation.. Millions of people, trying their means and ways to protect me.. Haha.. Ok.. Crap.. Well those people in the paper factory love me to bits too.. Love me to pulp in fact.. :P

Was taking the train to my grandma's house after work, and thought of that funny thing above.. It started from me thinking about how people say "Love ya lots!" or "Love you!" to each other.. I don't mean just couples in a relationship.. Friends say that to each other too.. Of the so many people who uses these phrases, how many really meant what they said?

Working as a waitress, I have to serve customers regardless of whether they're nice, or smelly, or buaya-ish, or irritating.. And we always have to thank them for patronising us.. That's the right thing to do of course.. Personally, I find it very easy to smile to the customers and say "Thank you for coming", but of those many times I do that, how many times of that do I really mean what I said?

Giving up seats to old people or pregnant women, helping a mum to hold the gate open while she pushes her pram out, helping a grandma to carry her heavy stuff all the way to her block, giving tissue to the woman on the bus next to me who seemed like she's crying, doing social work at primary schools.. I wonder, how many of these that I do, I really meant to be nice and helpful when I do it? Or do I do it just because these are the things that a Christian should do? Or just because it's drilled in me that we should help people, and not that I really want to help out of my own will?

These are some questions that I still cannot really find an answer to.. But I've sorta concluded that maybe I've always been a self-centred person, doing things just for the sake of doing..

Ok enough of ramblings. On to the next topic I wanna blog about. My birthday!! Jean said my wishlist is scary. Oops. Haha. I know that actually. So anyway, Jean, Xueli and I shall meet up to celebrate our birthday! Hee hee.. -winks at Jean-

Ah.. Headache from a day's work.. Think I better sleep soon! Gonna work at NHK for the afternoon shift and night shift.. -Yawnz-
