I've finally got Xueli's MR CHILDREN CD!! Muahahahahaha. I'm not gonna return it to him! =P Naw, just kidding. I'd return, but first I wanna be a pirate! -triple gasps- PIRATE? Er.. Yah.. I wanna copy the songs, because to me, 67-dollars is too high a price to pay for a cd.. Rather unaffordable.. And I wanna save up to buy a Zen Neeon! Problem with the copying part is, my laptop got no Japanese reading software, and if I wanna copy the original titles, they will just come out in squares. I don't know.. So how..? Somebody help me please..

I had a terrible experience yesterday, and I was so upset I could cry! But it's over already, and I shall not think about it.. I just wish I would stop being such a clumsy dinosaur. I shall watch a movie to make myself happy again..

Thanks to the few people who tagged! Ahahahaha. Oh dear jie.. What makes you think Crie is depressing? For example, if you sing a happy birthday song, it would sound happy ain't it? Like,

Happy birthday to Crie,
Happy birthday to Crie,
Happy birthday to dearest jie....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CRIE!

Haha. Doesn't that sound so party-ish with poppers popping and confetti er.. confetting? Haha.

Or I can use it as verb.. Like,

When I saw that I got all As with many many stars for my A levels, I CRIEd in joy!

Wahahhaa. Ok, obviousy that is just in my dreams, because stars are only given in PSLEs.

Or adjectives? Hehe, eg,

When I looked up, I saw a beautiful, CRIEly angel glowing, smiling to me with the sweetest smile you can ever find, as she descends from above.

Ok, criely doesn't have a specific meaning here. But it's definitely nothing depressing! Haha.

Not bad hor. I think I do deserve my pass in GP after all. Hehe.

Ok, gotta go for dinner!

Jean says it feels good to see her name on my blog too! (Too, because I said the same thing to her.) So I shall repeat her name all over the place!

Jean

Ok ok, enough. Haha I need to blog about what I wanna blog before I forget them! Forgot quite a lot of them already.

Camel didn't lunch with me! -disappointed tree- But it's ok, because I brought my book (Angela's Ashes) with me! Thank goodness. Or I'd be bored to death. Poor Camel, he said he might have got infection or something! I don't know exactly what, but I hope he gets well soon! Or the poor people will have no transportation when crossing the desert. =X

Had dinner with Wilson after work, at East Coast Park. Was walking the route that I used to run during PE when I was in TJ. Those were the days! Now ah, walk abit already calves aching. Dinner was good.. I feel very healthy today! I had subway for lunch (so I could get the subway stamp for Xueli. See, I'm so nice!).. Dinner I had beef kway teow at ECP (the very famous one.. gotta queue very long one!!), satay, (oops, these two don't sound very healthy.. but WAIT!!! there's more..) and I had PLENTY OF FRUITS! Fruits are good, because many of them came from TREEs.. I ate watermelon, papaya, honeydew, orange.. Drank carrot mix with orange juice! You say lah!! Healthy not!! Hehe. I love fruits. Buy me fruits! I've yet to try eating half a watermelong by myself.. I wanna dig from the watermelon like that, just like how JEAN said.. Hee.

Tomorrow, Xueli's gonna bring his bunch of friends to noodle house for lunch!! YAY!!! Nice to have company again. I shall put the RESERVE sign for them! In exchange for the stamp, I will get to borrow his 67 dollar MR CHILDREN CD!! Envious not envious not? Haha. Then, Wilson shall accompany me walk walk shop shop around, till I start work again in the evening. Blessed Tree! So eat more fruits, and you will be blessed too! Muahahaha.

Okie, that's about it. I should sleep! Hope I don't bore you guys half to death.. -looks around and see people lying around, 3/4 to death- =X Oh, sorry.. Erm.. Good night! =P

Oh!!!! By the way, I wore JEANs to work today.. :D

I just got home from work about an hour ago.. Reached home at 12 midnight! Felt like Cinderella.. Haha.. =P

Feeling tired, of course.. But I thought I shall come online for a while to blog..

Was playing mindsweeper at office today.. Started playing it yesterday.. And got addicted. Desperately trying to win the expert one.. But didn't, till today! So.. I'm an EXPERT now, people..

Was almost late for work, so I took cab.. Stupid driver so slow, then some more so many cars, even worse!!! Grr.. Spent almost 15 bucks on cab fare.. So sad lor.. So much for scrimping on lunch..

1 year 7 months.. But I spent this special day working like hell! Ok la not like hell, but I felt quite listless.. Thankfully I've some MP3s in my laptop, so I could listen to them while I work.. Currently addicted to this song called I'll Be There For You by Bon Jovi.. Heard this song when I watched A Lot Like Love, starring Ashton Kutcher (as Oliver) and Amanda Peet (as Emily). Oliver was trying to win Emily back, after 7 years from the time he first knew her. So he stood outside her house, with an electric guitar, and started to sing the song for her to hear. He ain't any fantastic singer, but the way he sings is SO ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!!!! Haha.. It's quite funny also, because all Emily's neighbours were watching, and at the end after he finished singing, somebody shouted, "You SUCK!!" =X But he's cute leh... Hehe. So I was thinking, it'll be so sweet to have somebody do that for you! I can imagine, say, a guy standing at the tennis court where it's visible frm my room, then sing the song for me. I'd swoon! But tennis court a bit too far. Haha.

Zhangyi is turning 21 soon!!! Aw... A big boy now! Gonna have to wreck my brains over what present to get.. Bleah. Give me ideas please..

I don't know why, but my room smells of durian. Grrr. Must have been my brother messing around in my room. Gonna interrogate him tomorrow.

Glad to have Camel to accompany me for lunch tomorrow.. Yay! Dress down friday some more.. I'm gonna wear my AHSChoir tee.. =)

Hope to meet Wilson for dinner tomorrow!

Sleepy!

Zzz..

I didn't go to work today.. I had a really terrifying dream last night, that I woke up with such a terrible headache. The dream was very vivid, that even until now the thought scares me. So, I went to the polyclinic, got mc, slept like nobody's business.. So sorry Cherie, for not being able to answer your call..

I think I got this dream after reading Shanghai Baby.. Ok I know this is stupid, but her last chapter stirred up a lot of emotions in me. The fear of losing, losing somebody close to me. I felt like I was Wei Hui herself, and when I read about how her loved one Tian Tian passed away, the feeling was very real, as though it was my loved one who passed away.

So.. To all my family, relatives and friends, please take care of yourselves.. When I say take care, I really mean take good care.. Whether or not we are close, I still treasure all my relationships with everyone..

I shall sleep early tonight.. Gonna meet Jean for lunch tomorrow!!! =D Sweet dreams people..

MY FIRST TIME TO BILLY BOMBERS! Eat until I'm super bloated. But oh, I so love the chocolate shake! -slurps- It's been another few days without going online.. How deprived I feel! =( Derek's been gone for a few days, and good lor, not even a single email to tell us how are things going on over there! Humph. Worked at noodle house thrice this week, and I'm glad that Ken-san's been in a good mood, because that lifts my spirits up though I feel tired! Yesterday was my brother's birthday. Happy 13th Birthday little monkey! My family went to grams house on Friday to celebrate. What a feast! One big pot of noodles, one big tray of chicken wings and mini drumsticks, one plate of sweet and sour fish, one big tray of home-made (my cousin Serene's credit) sheperd's pie, and the cake of course! Oh, I forgot to mention the champagne! Wahahaha. Craziness. I was feeling quite high, and wanted to YAMSENG, but nobody entertained me except for my grams! LOLX!!! I was so amused, when she took her glass and clashed it against mine! WAHAHAHAHAHA. I love my grams! MUACKZ.

Saturday, that would be yesterday, went with my mum to Hui & Kuah, the agency that provides help for students who wanna study in Australia. It was difficult to find the place, really. But I'm glad we went there to seek help, because they know much much more than I can ever know, or find out from the internet. Haha. Went to Bugis for lunch at Mos Burger. My mum initially didn't want to eat fast food, then after tasting the unagi rice burger, she kept giving the it's-incredibly-wonderful look. Haha. Crazy mom. Then we walked around, I bought a top and a sweater.. After that, we travelled to Somerset and ended up at Paragon's metro. I bought 2 undies from topshop, at a sale!!! Haha. Buy 2 and get 20% discount. Not a bad deal. And funny enough is, one of the is priced at $9, the other at $13. But the person made a mistake, and put it as both are $9 each. Even better deal! I like mistakes like that. =P Mum then met up with Bro while I was at work, and they came over to noodle house for dinner. I ordered Egg Ramen, Cold Noodles, Gyoza and Fried Chicken for them. Introduced them to Ken san, and told him that they're here to celebrate my brother's birthday! Haha. Know what he did? He treated them to the Gyoza and Fried Chicken! Hey, not fair, because he don't personally know my brother lor!! Bleah. Anyway, good for them la. He even gave us an additional egg. Woah.. Big shot sia. Lolx. So they left after dinner.. And a few hours later Wilson came for dinner again. Haha. No choice, haven't had much of a chance to meet him other than under such circumstances, and some Sunday free times.

Sunday. I was late for choir practice in church! =X Thank goodness they're nice, and don't blame me.. I should really start to make it a habit not to be late for anything.. Oh.. On my way to church while waiting for a bus, I met this grandma with her grandson. So adorable!!! -pinch cheeks- Cute as in, the grandson, not the grandma. Restless little toddler, he kept digging his grams' bag for a toy. So his grams gave him a Pelkin (the plum sort of sweet?) sweet and I was rather shocked. I asked the grandma, "He's so young, can he even take sweets??" (In dialect) She replied and said that he sure can, because he has teeth already. I was like WOAH!!! So young! Ok, so maybe some kids start teething very young.. He's about 1 year plus.. But his grams told me that he started teething when he was 3 months old. How freaking is that?!?! I told the grandma that I'm quite sure I didn't start teething so early. I think she misheard, or she really thought so, but she asked anyway, "You are married already?" |||-_-O When on earth do I look like I'm married. 19 years and 1 month plus only ok. I told her that I'm only 19, and her bus came so she said she gotta rush. Man, who knows, she might have thought that I'm some unwedded mum. Pengz. Looks like we're twins for a reason, Cherie..

Went to Tampines Library after choir to take a short rest and do abit of reading. Didn't do the latter, except browse through a Return of the Condor Hero comic that happened to be lying near where I was sitting. Met Wilson for lunch at Billy Bombers. Haha. I learnt not to overestimate my eating capability, no matter how much I think my appetite has improved. =P Walked around CS, quite bored, really. I'm starting to dislike noisy places. Or maybe I just don't have much energy to accept the ear + mental torture (serious ok, the problems that noise can cause), so we left for The Challenger. I saw Zen Neeon again! Ohhhhh.. How fated we are to meet!! I believe we are fated to be together too.. Hahahaha..

I was still so full from Billy Bombers that I really had a hard time stuffing my dinner down the throat. Even drank 2 cups of tea. Haha. Oh by the way, I found another pleasure in life!! That is, to sit on a comfortable chair with one leg crossed over the other, one hand holding a book, the other hand holding a cup of hot and aromatic tea, sipping the tea while reading, engrossed.. What a bliss! Haha. Or maybe that's just for me. =D Anyway, after dinner, I started blogging this post.. That is at 9:18pm.. Then sometime later, Wilson came by and I dragged my lappy down with some documents, intending to do abit of research at the poolside, trying out the wireless network set up by the condominium administrators or something. But alas, my lappy didn't detect it.. Oh well. Cannot be bothered. We went through my documents, and thank God and Wilson, he (Wilson) is gonna help me out with some researching.. What a dearie. Save me time! Yay! We sat and chatted.. Till just now. =X Ok, very late, I know.. So I've bathed, and finished blogging.. I'm gonna sleep!

P.S. I've finished reading Shanghai Baby, and I'm gonna start on Angela's Ashes soon! :D

Though I'm super duper tired now, I shall blog before I bathe and go to sleep! Here's a summary of what I've been doing since last Wednesday..

Last Thurs: Worked and worked! Bought a few books.. One of them is Shanghai Baby, the other is Angela's Ashes, the last one I cannot remember..

Last Friday: I cannot remember..

Last Saturday: Went to Wilson's house to watch cartoon.. Had dinner with him, then went home..

Last Sunday: Was late for choir practice, ended up having lunch with them at CS.. Went to the airport to send Derek off. Xueli and me bought him a wery nice scarf.. =) Xueli bought chocs from The Cocoa Trees! He had cravings for chocolates since he watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Haha. Well, then I met Marie at Tamp again, went for a haircut (which didn't feel like a haircut at all, no difference!) before we headed to BK for dinner and a bit of studying. She was tired, so we left for home earlier.

Monday: Working again.. Glad I had Wilson to company me for lunch.. Hope SMU starts school soon, so I can have lunch with Jean! Was super tired after I got home, I slept at 845pm

Tuesday: Isn't that yesterday? Well yup, I worked, of course.. At noodle house too. Had a little pleasant surprise.. Wilson came to visit me! :D There were not many customers yesterday, I left home early with him. Hehe. So nice of Lisa! I shall get her curry puffs from Old Chang Kee tomorrow.

Today: Drank a lot of Milo, did a lot of typing, that's all I can remember.. =X

Well that's it.. And yup, I'm working at noodle house again tomorrow.. Do come and visit me ok.. Hope Derek's been doing well over at LA!

I shall post up the photos first, then maybe blog about the party on

friday.. My office laptop suddenly cannot surf web.. Sigh. =X Oh well..





Dabian themed cake!










Xueli and me bought this golden dabian beside the cake for jean.. Hehe. She called it dabian zai!! Lolx.

Whee.. Can you believe it.. I'm blogging from office.. Haha. Nothing much to do today, because I haven't gotten my own ID and password yet.. That is.. Not very good, because I need to send a reminder email to my colleagues to remind them to send me the information so I could produce a weekly progress report. =( Oh well, I'll go and bug them again later. Haha.

Kept having lunches on my own this week, so sian. Must plan a lunch schedule, so I'll have company, and have money to borrow from to buy food in case I only have a few cents left with me. Like today. I spent half an hour looking for UOB atm, by then I was shivering from hunger! Ate lunch at Peace Centre, the one that Winnie Mina told me about. Haha. I was super hungry, I finished one whole big plate of rice, fish fillets, chicken and chilli kangkong within 5 minutes. Bought watermelon juice to drink from Madeleine's after that. Wah.. Shuang man.. Walked back to office, man, I'm still early! =P

Oh by the way, my working days at noodle house are changed to Tuesdays and Saturdays. Hehe. Do come and visit me!!! Anyway, wanna thank Min for coming to noodle house again with her friend to visit me! Wanna apologise, because I was so super tired from lack of sleep for so many days that I looked so sian. But it definitely brightened the mood a little, because I love visitors. Haha.

Sorry, cannot put up pictures of the dabian party here yet.. Don't have the pictures in this laptop! Maybe later I go home and put them in photobucket, then blog from office tomorrow. I must save some msn and more songs on my thumbdrive later too, so I can bring to work and go on msn tomorrow!

Ok, I shall go pester the people to give me work now..

Oops.. I'm gonna be late.. But I shall spend a little time blogging first before I eat and bathe and go out.. I've been too busy going out and working that I haven't had much time to sleep and go online! Haven't slept much since Wednesday night.. Accumulated a horrendous sleep debt! =X

Saturday was a really memorable day, because Jean, Xueli and me had a big celebration! Haha. It was real fun, shall blog about it tomorrow I guess. Then I'll put the photos up too. Hee. They bought me a Hikki unplugged VCD!!! Oh man, I'm so happy! Hee..

Went to noodle house to work after that, gotta get up early on Sunday to sing for church.. That means I didn't sleep much, but I went out anyway..

Met Wilson, went to Victoria Secrets sale, but I didn't buy anything from there.. Then the warehouse beside it having sale too, I bought a top and a skirt.. The top is so pink, just like how I think Cherie would like it! So I bought it on impulse.. =X The skirt is quite short.. =X again.. I shall do something about my flabby thighs before I wear it..

Went home for dinner that night, then came out again to have a good chat with Wilson at the park.. Was home late, like about 1 plus.. Slept at almost 2.. Then gotta like wake up at 645 the next morning for work!! Pengz..

Was super sleepy on Monday morning, due to not enough sleep from the past few days.. Lao-sai a lot, like how I would when I get nervous about exams etc.. I didn't feel nervous about my first day at my new job though, don't know why my body would react in that way.. But it's good anyway, dabian is good!!

After so spending so much time at the toilet, glad I managed to make it in time for work, and no, I DIDN'T TAKE CAB.. Hee. My boss was slightly late.. =P The people there are really really really nice! I'm so glad about that, because I'm gonna be working there for like at least half a year! Pay is good too.. Hehe.. I'm gonna bring my thumbdrive tomorrow, with my MSN stuff inside, and mp3s, so I can listen to them while working on my laptop, and I'll bring my Hikki VCDs! Not watch VCD la.. But I can listen to the songs anyway. Hee. Can shun bian listen to Mika Nakashima's songs too.. Haven't had a chance to listen to them since Jean lent it to me on Saturday.. Oh, and I better dig out my earpiece..

My mum's nagging at me to eat dinner already.. Tata! Gotta go! Happy National Day peeps! Cherie go spot Gerard on the tv.. Haha..

First and foremost, thanks Cherie and Derek for tagging at my tagboard! (Thank God for bringing tagboard back too) Today's a much enjoyable day.. Got up early in the morning to meet Paul to sign contract.. Very amiable person, we had such a long chat I felt like we were old friends! Went to Wilson's house after that.. Wanted to chat, but I was too tired from last night's work, I fell asleep.. =X Went home for dinner.. Cleared up some misunderstanding with my mum.. Then proceeded to Tampines Mall's Ice Lemon Tee to get something.. (Thanks Jean for telling me where the shop is!) Met Wilson at Bedok MRT platform, headed down to City Hall to meet Cherie, Shin, Ting and her Ponders aka Jeremy to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Seeing all those chocolates make me hungry.. Took train home with all of them.. Had a great (though short) chat.. Rather tired now.. Rather happy anyway.. Thanks everyone.. ZZZZZ....

Quite a lot of things happened lately.. Made my mood sour, turn gloomy, thus matching the weather.. Not in the right state of mind to type coherently now.. Just wanna dump all my thoughts into blogosphere, like pulling out strands of thoughts and leaving them in the Pensieve..

Having a little headache, which I think was caused by the chinese herbal soup I had just now (supposedly heaty) and probably big credit goes to the smokers and the people burning the joss papers since midnight.. Feeling a little nauseous since yesterday.. Think it's due to eating too much, one of my stress-relieving therapy..

Wanted to go out and have some fun this week, but the weather turned out otherwise than expected.. Tian1 bu zuo4 mei3.. Slept at home most of the time, to pay back my sleep debt.. Worked at noodle house from Monday to Thursday (that would be just now) and working on the upcoming Saturday too.. Glad I am not working on Friday night.. Gonna meet my sisters, er-jie's Ponders aka Jeremy, and Wilson to watch Willy Wonka (more known as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) at Marina GV..

Been quite stressed.. I don't know why.. Due to many things I guess.. Feeling a little pek chek, because there are so many things I wish I could do, but they're just beyond my reach.. Feels insecure to not be in control..

Wednesday evening, I had meant to visit my grams, because I haven't seen her for ages.. Then my aunt is supposed to boil me this herbal soup too, some post-menstrual tonic.. I thought my mum knew about it, because my aunt talked to her on the phone so many times that day, not possible that my going over for dinner wasn't mentioned.. Anyway, to cut things short, I called my mum and casually mentioned it again.. My mum said that I'm eating at home, because dinner is prepared already.. I got very confused, and I asked her to call my aunt since she needed to clarify some things about the air-con fixing with her anyway.. The next moment I know, she called me back, and yelled at me, "You like to go to grandma's house to eat, then go lah! You keep eating outside, spend so much money! The money you earn you don't even give me some, even ah yi (my aunt) also say how come you never give me money!"

GRRRR!!! She just hung up the phone on me, and didn't even let me explain! I was hopping mad ok!! WHAT AN ACCUSATION!!!!!! Firstly, it's not as if I go to grams house all the time. I haven't seen her for a long time, and I feel it is right to visit her since I'm not working and I'm free anyway. I keep eating outside? Yes, she is partly right. At least 2 days in a week, I HAVE TO eat outside because I'm working at noodle house! I spend at least 2 days too, eating at home, as those 2 days are the days I need to rest at home and catch up on my sleep. As for the other 3 days of the week, I'm sure I spend 1 or 2 days at home for dinner. Well, I cannot possibly just work and go home everyday, and don't have other programmes lined up for myself? Plus, she probably doesn't know, and not like I intend to tell her, that I hate having dinner at home. Not that her cooking sucks or anything, but I hate to be reminded of what kind of family I have, sitting at a dinner table of three, trying to pretend that all's well with life. And, we have come to a compromise that since all the money I earn is gonna go to my education expenses/ living expenses/ accomodation/ others, it doesn't matter whether I give her the money or not, isn't it? How come she can just listen to that one sentence from my aunt, and forget everything, and come back to holler at me?! I hate it when she does things like that, and then come back and talk to me like she's right and nothing bad happened, when I am actually fuming mad.

Haven't I been a good girl already? I don't smoke, gamble, take drugs.. I work hard and find opportunity to earn more, so that I can ease her load a little. I'd rather be the one taking up the 2 jobs, than to let her take up another job. Haven't I been considerate enough? And she thinks my job is easy. I don't know how she thinks, but sometimes I feel like she doesn't spare much thought for me.. The other time when I told her I may be getting another job at Yamaha as a pianist for ballet class, the first this she said was, "That is very good! You are very lucky, to find another job!" But I was a little apalled at her response. I was expecting a "Are you sure you can handle another job? Will it be very tiring on you?" Sigh. Maybe I expect too much..

I feel like my problems now are countless, just like the number of open pores on my face.. I just wish to get over this year and done with..

On a lighter note, I got another job already, starting next Monday.. Credits to God and Lydea.. It's this job at Standard Chartered, and it so happens that my distant cousin works there as one of the managers.. Hm.. Sounds good huh.. Got Kao Shan.. Job scope is not really easy though.. But I hope I'll be less stressed.. Gonna sign the contract tomorrow.. I better sleep..

Btw, I like the recent post Jean put up on her blog.. Made me feel better somehow.. Thanks girl, the "disguised" angel aka boinger!
