Three Happy People

"the worst pain in the world is knowing that somebody meant everything to u, but u meant nothing to them. but life goes on once u realise your own strength inside of u; the strength to realise that saying goodbye doesnt mean that u dont love the person anymore, or that u dont want to keep them in your life. that means that uve the strength to let go, live your life to the fullest, and be as happy as u choose."

Yeap. I am really bored now and I decided to check up on old friend's blogs who would probably not have guessed that I just read their blogs because little old anti-social me sucks at maintaining friendships.

So I was reading some blogs and it just amazed me how everyone's blog posts are a little more depressing than say 3-4 years ago. The posts are all 'grown up' like and well depressing. :(

Anyway, I came across a few posts about being lucky in life and I must admit I am super duper damn lucky to have my family, friends, financial stability and all that jazz. There is just one thing bugging me. If I am so lucky and have everything I need, why do I still feel like shit?

I sat in front of the computer staring and re-reading those posts and then realised something. These people are not as lucky as me. DAMN. I am too lucky for my own good. I have absolutely everything I need now just no goals in life.

Damn it.

On a side note: I can finally confirm what elaine and I have been guessing about something during Uni days and even after. TEEHEE.

I played a really lousy round of mahjong today w xiaomi n her 2 frens dawn n jolin. lost abt 100+.......in chips! hengg ahhhh. luckily not cash! i cant afford it hahaaa.
in any case im happy to have some alternative activity other than watching videos on youtube at home :D

n i heard we have a secret frequent guest on our blog. hi han! *waves* :)

n xiaomi, apparently, reads my ramblings frequent enough but is too lazy to ramble some here on her own. she has admitted to her laziness n still refuses to blog, much to my dismay.
n sharon is still not back to ramble some.
n soon i myself am gg to get tired of my own rambling :D

elaine is in a good mood today for some reason. getting xcited thinking abt our bbq :D

(ok i mia also...) anyway dont have much pics la huh only those that i took of the crab tank coz i made the background thing. (which is the orange-beige and yellow bg u see in the tank) it took me a whole month to complete it and it was hard work! manage to finish eveyrthing before CNY day 1 and the crabs have a new tank! :)i put some food in the dish and the crab were practically queueing to eat it.. haha quite cute.

ribbs peeking out from the ledge on the top left hand corner of the tank (see above)

2009-01-16T15:59:00.009+08:00

1st week of sch is over! (actually it ended on weds haha) nope no more 3 day week for us 2. other than e sucky timetables n projects e rest of sch is pretty good! we see so many familiar faces everywhere since many of our dear frens r back frm sep :D
n heres wat i learnt this week:

gek1520[understanding e universe] taught me tt venus is e brightest star.

n u know how theres a book Men are frm Mars Women are frm Venus?

by logical reasoning (according to PH2110: Logic),

men are frm mars and women are frm venus
+ venus is e brightest star
-------------------------------------------------
conclusion: women are e brightest! :D

hahaa okayy i know. i was bored heee.

back to more xciting stuffs. me n xiaomi went to bkk w her dad n bro during e hols! sharon couldnt go for family reasons. but u can tell she didnt miss out on e shopping coz me n xiaomi shopped on her behalf! IT WAS AS IF SHE WAS THERE HERSELF. (refer: sharon's birthday post) hahaaa (:

we stayed at a service apartment called Centerpoint. it was 5-star n it rocked! we had problems pronunciating its address (Petchburi something. half e time we were gg pet..petbu..ahh forget it hahaa)

e beautiful view frm our apartment room

me n xiaomi's apartment! it was huge n it had a cooking area n all. it was heaven coz i get to cook supper! supper v impt u know hahaaa. so of coz we went to stock up food for e night! lotsa tomyam tunghoon, crab tomyam noodles, bbqpork noodles etcetc. i was quite hungry tt night (:

their toilet seats had heaters n it was constantly warm! v comfy for e cold mornings! n u can flush ur ass to wash it n everything hahaa. cool.

busy busy bangkok

we found sanitary pad dispensers in e toilets! they call it feminine napkins. costs 5baht each n they come in boxes! we were quite amused. we went on e mekong river!

dunkin donuts! i know everyone likes them. looked really good but we had pretzels n stuff instead. n nxt..some pretty men for ur viewing pleasure. haha! they were quite pretty frm far but i thought upclose they were abit intimidating coz of their height n looks. they had huge boobs n loved to have pp squeeze them. xiaomi's bro was not spared hahaa.

xiaomi's family's first tuktuk ride!

we HAD to have A&W! :D

and get our nails done! got pretty flowers handpainted on them (even on our little toes! n u can really see e flowers on each toe!) e girl tt did our toes was real pretty n real good at wat she does! i think we spent abt 1 hr plus in tt shop lol.

checkout e stash! sharon had her own bundle hahaaa. n we had to buy xtra chinaman bags (u know those colourful checked ones. except tt ours had real cute designs instead of e obiang ones) now i have to start saving up to make up for all tt money spent there! in preparation for my nxt trip to bangkok..again! yayy i love bangkok hahaa :D

okay im getting reeeaally hungry blogging. more when im....less hungry. hahaa! (:

2008-12-22T20:46:00.008+08:00

i didnt think much would happen last week but many people really made me happy!!! :D:D
They made turning 21 a good thing to happen :)

TUES: dinner at essential brews with my mum, my dad and my bro!!! haha good food and a really wierd topic: kiasu aunties on the bus. which was hilarious :D:D:D
my mum made a scrap book for meeee!!!!! it has photos since i was BORN!! like literally day one on earth. SO PRETTY RIGHTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a random page tht my mum did for meee :) its so prettyyy and i have many pretty pages too! :D oh and there is another picture (not shown here) with my mum wearing shorts so her legs were bare and she HAD to write " mum's sexy legs" nxt to the photo. -_-'''

This photo was taken in 1990 when i was 3. Quite surprisingly, there are 3 other primary (yes primary) and secondary sch friends i have in the photo too! 0_0!!! and the best part was i manage to find that Capri's (i made friends with her only in Primary 1 (1994)) parents are in the photo background!!!! ahahaha.. SO QIAO CANNN!!!!

so yes, i love this scrapbookkkkkkkkkkk!!! THANKS MUMMYYYYY hehehe :D

meet SCRUMP!!!! given to me by Mr. Elsie Chew aka LC aka Leonard Chew. now Heffalump has a friend!!! THANKS ELSIEEE hahahaha..

Anyway, on WEDNESDAY i was on my way with Elsie to Pasir Ris or rather downtown east chalet thinking that i have to face many many many cousins of Mr LC and freaking out silently about meeting them. ( its not the first time but quantity is pretty daunting) so there i was sitting on the train with Mr LC getting sleepy and thinking about what the hell i am gg to do when i reach there..

BUT U KNOW WHAT!!! I HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT because it was a surprise party for me!!!!!!!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (thank god its not his cousins, i would have died again)

such PRETTY FOOD that taste GREATTTT and HANDMADE LEH!!! My beloved Elaine and Xiaomi made sushi, soba, sotong balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! damn good i tell uuuu!!! and then there was the decoration of the room at Downtown East Chalet.... It was a xmas theme so there was a small tree.

Winnie helped to blow the balloons until she felt dizzy... THANKS WINNIEEEE!!! (no thanks to that that that scared-of-balloons person)

Winnie, Elaine and Xiaomi who were there to surprise me!!! gave me a shock really esp with the poppers thing. and derek was there too!!! i think he drove them there so THANKS DEREK!!
yayyyy group pic!!!!!!!!!! i'm a happy happy girl with wonderful wonderful friends who didnt forget me in thailand. haha :D
my stash from thailand!!! which was my birthday present from the 2 girls!!! (i think) err yes.. u can ignore the the the ____________. I have LOTS OF NEW STUFF!!! YAYYY THANKS GIRLS!!! :D

me and Elsie Chew (Leonard Chew) he looks retarded here.. but then again he looks retarded all the time.. heeeeeeeeeheeeeeeeeewe went to E Hub after eating in the room and after i changed into boxers ( pic below) There was a big ferris wheel in E hub and it looked really good at night with the lights on. We wanted to watch a movie but there were no nice movies to watch so we ended up at KBOX!!! we paid the price of 4 for 5 pple coz the kbox pple were nice there. Xiaomi was really funny singing haha.. there was a bowling alley that was pretty crowded at an early hour of 2 am and winnie took pics of it. there were like 32 lanes!!! HUGE place...

me in my new boxers from thailand!!! i had to change into them coz i wore a skirt there and well i needed more freedom now that i know that it wasnt leonard's cousins who were there.. hahaha :D it was really fun and i had a great time with great company!

SO THANKS TO XIAOMI AND ELAINE for planning everything so meticulously!!!!!!!!!! MY TWO FAVOURITEST GIRLS IN THE WHOLE WORLD! (nxt to my mum of course) and i'm still thinking whether i should thank leonard for being a good liar and freaking me out that i was gg to meet his cousins.. (hmmm........) hehe but its ok, i still like him :D

i met my scgs friends, Liming, Nicola and Chrys on friday for dinner at Vivo!!! we intended to eat at Marche's but there was a long queue and we were starving coz it was already 9!!! so we ate at The Mussel Guys instead which was goodddddd :) Anyway, Nicola made me this handicraft gift!!! haha and as we're suckers for Daiso, she bought everything from there and made it! She bought the flowers, pot and clip separately and went back to arrange and piece everything together! SO PRETTY RIGHT!!!! its currently sitting on my ledge at home :)

i must say, last week was fun and i got ALOT OF NEW THINGS!!! so i'm a very very happy girl.

and i'm off to malaysia tmr! :D be back soon and GIRLS REMEMBER we have to TAN when i get back! i'm pale and i look sickly.

2008-12-01T00:46:00.005+08:00

well the whole sem has passed and its VERY unexciting in sch... but my crabby tank is pretty exciting.. hehe meet Rumbo and Rhivas!! finally found the nicest crabs befitting their names/OG!!!

Rumbo in the 2nd shell she changed into when she got into the tank :) and happily hanging out at the topmost part of the tank! :D
After adding this pink murex, Rumbo checked it out and happily swopped into it!(her 3rd shell change)

and Meet Rhivas!!! haha rhivas is more shy but just as lovely. She took this green shell after Rumbo decided the spotted turbo( the shell in the 1st pic) was better to be in. well Rhivas is currently in this green shell and haha it fits her species! C. Perlatus aka Strawberry crabs.

both crabs original shell is gone from the tank.. man they're hideous but i think i'll drop them at sungei bulok to give the crabs there some shells to change into! :D

2008-11-09T22:18:00.012+08:00

went to a park near derek's place,there wasnt much wind hence the hot n sweaty affair. i was basically running here n there just to get the kite flying! there were joggers thereby so we pretty much caught their attention which was totally hilarious!

An example:

there was this lady jogger looking at derek flying the kite.
wind starts to die n mr si jiao starts to drop a little.

derek( looking v seriously at the kite) ,shouts , "Fly bitch FLY"

lady jogger who actually had turned her attention to jogging, turned back at derek with a horified expression..hahahha...mayb it wasnt funny buti thought it was funny!

figuring how to fly the kite

Up, up and away!

Running for my dear life

Spot him?

Ribbs (actually more black than here)
Ricce (and white)

This yr is really wierd. too many things going on (and off) and yet, sch is depressing this time rd.
friends who graduated, friends who went on exchange and well younger friends who have met closer and better friends. this sem is just for 2. sheesh. its sad. real sad.

on a brighter note, my hobby is growing like nobody's business. i've currently got 10 land hermit crabs! :D. bought another 2 from clementi blk 328. one black and one white. elaine named them Ribbs and Ricce respectively. we were at the coffeeshop near the shop and i asked her to name them.

She went "huh?", looked at the food sign board and went," RIBS with double B and RICE with double C!" -_-''' fine fine... so Ribbs and Ricce.

got an C. Brevimanus (indo) that was missing 2 legs and someone had to named it Regless. (ok my theme for crabby names all start with R). Some are named to help me remember my best times in University. So i have, Rumbo, Raiko, Ramica, Rolling, Rum & Reizin, Racer. Rumseng & Rhivas has not found a crab yet. haha. wait till i get 2 really good ones :)

not going for oweek really made a big difference and i'm kinda regretting it. but oh wells, work was in the way. glad that honghui and last year's freshies are so bonded and happy together, making it even better for this year's freshies. i salute them. :)

tmr... KBOX since a long long time i last went which marked one of the happiest time i had.

2008-08-24T22:03:00.003+08:00

unbelievable.. STTB is unbelievable.

pouring cold water on the table tennis team when they should return with 100% celebratory mood.

just unbelievable. and u wonder why singaporeans are always criticised. what can i say.. when led with such leaders with obviously no compassion and no people management skills and with ZERO EQ.. what can i say?

as i said.

unbelievable.

2008-08-22T23:59:00.002+08:00

To whomever it may concern,

made with leftover potato, swedish meatball sauce, raspberry sauce and chicken bones.

love,

2008-08-20T22:04:00.004+08:00

well altho my phone cam is 5 megapixels.. but considering this person was so far away from us and i had to zoom all the way.. this is the best picture i can come up with :)
yes.. striped laptop skin and she had to match it with a striped top..
no offense to this person and really nothing personal.
well-matched! :)

2008-08-17T23:57:00.006+08:00

as nicola said... "an island adventure!"

rented $6 bikes until 6 pm. (we left at 5pm) which is damn cheappp!!!! :D
there were rambutan treess!!!! and there were ripe rambutans.. too bad we couldnt reach it if not we'll probably pick some and eat them.. haha :D

coastal boardwalk!!!!! hurray!!! we cycled through pebbles and rocks with mud (coz it rained) and reached the chek jawa!!! :) chrys was real busy........
very nice tourists helped us take tourist photos!!!! hahaha we're tourist in our own home.. how ironic. we felt like we're in thailand or malaysia right from the start at changi village.. FUN!!!
such a cool tree right!!!!
we climbed the 7 storey tower at the mangrove walk and the view was really good.. tho the climbing part was a tad bit scary..
yes.. me and nicki were totally grasping on to the railings we we climbed up and down the higher levels... the stairs had holes between each step leh!! scary mann...

me blending in with the orange pple.. who were actually really annoying, screeching and screaming all the time so much so that we had to rush through the mangrove walk (to avoid them) and miss all the wildlife... sheeshhhh N i'm NOT annoying.. ok maybe sometimes..
we saw a wild boar!!!! it was damn closeee and not afraid of human beings.. it was probaby a distracter so that its family can cross the path behind us, for when we turned ard, we saw a whole family of wild boars with little tiny boars crossing our path... but they were too fast for us to take a picture of and ran into cover up the hills... they were DAMN CUTEEEEE!!!!!
my 2nd fave picture!!! this was a quarry but now its like very beautiful lake/pool/ errr i dunno whats it called.. (damn my geog) anyway, it was really breathtaking there :)

and at the end of the trip, we had really nice cold, sweet thai coconut!!! it was REALLY good!!!!
chrys has to climb onto this rock which couldnt be seen at high tide(when we arrive) . chrys when she was top of the world!!! and then she fell.. to the bottom.. literally.. just when i thought none of us have survived pulau ubin scath free, she had to fall and scrap her leg which was pretty bad.. take care chrys!!! we saw their mail box and thought it was really cute!! looks so much nicer than the ones we have on mainland.
on the boat back to mainland singapore!!! chrys was on the phone as usual.. haha and poor liming's back was soaked as the water kept splashing onto her..
saying goodbye to annoying little orange pesttsss!!! oh well, it was a great great day :)

2008-08-15T22:53:00.002+08:00

e sqmates went back to coronation plaza for dinner! its been years since i went back there w them. e place where we used to have lunch and hang out at after sch when we were still in ny. and we had golden rooster today! e familiar smell of oily fried chicken n fries (:
i think e auntie there remembers us! hahaaa.

we tried v hard to take a grp photo (can tell tt manda is straining her arm hahaa) well at least 3/4 of my face can still be seen! :D
we went to island creamery for dessert after! nutty buddy is a must-try! cookies and cream ice cream cake topped w walnuts, butterscotch sauce and chocolate syrup. yumyumm! i liked it (and i dont even like nuts!)

this sem's timetable rocks. so far. im hoping e tutorial balloting staff-in-charge is very nice and gives us our first choice. heee (:

2008-08-11T00:22:00.002+08:00

errr... here's a short post for smeeelaine and xiaomi.
here's my crab people!!!

Fellow hobbyists!

1st row: snacks, me, topnut, huiping's bf, huiping, crabster

2nd row: pinger, orgui, chinyuan

3rd row: pinger's bf, ash

i did it through nicknames on the forum even though i know their names. we call each other by our nicknames.

crabster's biggest C. Perlatus.(straw) it has lost its red colour but i think its due to captivity. it is hard to figure out why this happens even when they have right conditions and food. Its something crabbers have yet to perfect or rectify. its abt 3 inches wide.

we went to crabster's house and oh man its filled with tanks!!! 3 crab tanks including the "coffee table cum crab tank u see above", one 5 ft fish tank with gimongous fishes and another 3 ft turtle tank with 1 soft shell turtle and 2 red ear sliders. a pail of feeder fish and a tank of feeder fish.. at least i know i'm not the crazy one here.... hehe :) it was fun and refreshing to meet fellow hobbyist :)

2008-08-03T21:09:00.002+08:00

2008-07-18T23:24:00.006+08:00

i realised this blog is kind of stagnant this year.. haha maybe we're just getting lazy or maybe we're just too damn busy to blog!

3 months of school holidays is coming to an end and it just didnt felt much like a holiday to me because of work which started like on 12th May and is ending on 1st august.. so technically, my school holiday is just 2 weeks. 6 days after exam and 1 wk after work ends. (with the exception of arts camp la)

met up with alot of friends these 3 months actually. People from scgs, cjc, nus, judo peeps and even made new friends from arts camp, colleagues and err my friends who keep hermit crabs.

This hols has been packed with LOTS of activities that i just cant blog about everything and partly because i'm lazy..

Everyweek is filled with work and then go out to meet up with friends.. work and try to spend time with parents at home.. work and meet again.. it keeps alternating with family and friends so much so that it is very exhausting. Feels great to know i have a life outside work and friends who i manage to keep in contact with, but this time, life just seems more complicated.

At the beginning of the year, it was said that those born in the Rabbit year would have a rough time this year. Personally, i do not believe in this kind of thing as we can control our lives, but lately, hearing all the personal problems of my friends, my friend's friends just keeps reminding me of the "prediction" made this yr.

All in all, there are so many changes this holidays that i feel a bit out of sorts now but i think its just part of growing up. EEW!

anyway, to show u guys some pictures of my obsession for the past 7 months or so!! i think those who know i keep them are pretty sick of me talking abt them but here goes!!! :)

Meet 7-Up the first Coenobita Rugosus (ruggies) I bought along with...
Coda!

This is Flash who i recently found out is a female so maybe i should change her name.. haha
Flash was bought together with Turk! (above) These 2 are the smallest ruggies i have now :)
and then we have Cherry Toe. It belongs to the species Coenobita Perlatus. (Strawberry or Straw for short) They are called Strawberrys because of their colour which obviously is like a strawberry! They are very rare and found in australia and along the pacific region. It is endangered in australia but is still commonly found in Indonesia. erm.. not allowed in singapore.. but ya.. who, but pple who likes crabs, can tell the diff between the species of hermit crabs. i bet hermit crabs are just hermit crabs to most.
This is Boss R. another C. Perlatus that i bought to accompany Cherry Toe.
My latest addition is Maui (female; above) and Mauve (male; below). These 2 belong to the species Coenobita brevimanus. They are commonly found in Indonesia and around the region. They have perfectly round eyes and have the largest pincer relative to their body size. This is also not allowed in Singapore. but yes again, who can tell?
Mauve is more shy but Maui is protective over him. haha so wierd right. anyway, the 2 are always seen together :) V. cute :)
and the above is where 7-Up, Coda, Flash, Turk, Cherry Toe and Boss R. stays.. Maui and Mauve stay in another tank because the above tank is too small to accomodate another 2 smallish-medium crabs.. but then, i cant wait to get a 3 FT tank!!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!! :D

so there you go, my new obsessions :D:D:D

and then there is a bear the 3 of us got for Han who just left on wednesday to aussie for studies!! She is named Hanny. pronounced H-ah-n-ni. at her desk, diligently looking for flights to perth...
"oh no, I need to book my flight by by by... NOW!!!"

oh well, she was made to accompany han in aussie! :D

2008-06-27T20:23:00.002+08:00

My last arts camp is over and like what honghui said, 'there is sudden emptiness' that we experience right after arts camp ended. all the fun games, bonding, cheering like mad, laughing at each other's voices (or lack there of) is just suddenly gone. For 5 days, we are surrounded by our fellow friends, both councillors and freshies alike, all the movement and the noise found in camp is just gone.

i think i'm lost without camp. i came home and it was like quiet. really really really quiet. as i'm typing i can hear myself typing and in my head all i want to hear is the chanting of cheers, laughter and footsteps.

This time round, arts camp has brought about a very different atmosphere. There is something extra yet something is missing as well. Maybe its just me in my emo-nemo state of mind.

Anyway, i just wanted to say that the yr 2 councillors did a great job this year, especially the OGLs. All councillors and Ogls were very very very very very bonded. All R house OGLs were Yr 1s gg to Yr 2 and maybe because of that, they were extremely nervous and prepared for this yr's artscamp. They made tshirts, bought lots of props, bought things for the hse ics, came up with tons of new and exciting cheers for the house and many many more!!! so thanks to all the OGLs n councillors for making R house the Best House in Arts Camp!!! ROKAY!!!

oh yes, the house ICs did a damn damn damn damn damn good job toooo!!! I felt that our house ICs had the greatest presence in arts camp and worked really hard trying to rara the house. The other house ics were very enthusiastic as well but on the whole, Julie and Zhimin rocked the camp!!! :D:D:D so, thanks julie, zhimin for being the best House ICs for arts camp 2008!!!

To my OG, i know sometimes i may seem like i'm pissed off with something and may misinterpret my tone when i speak but really, i was fine with the OG and totally wasn't angry at all. Its just the way i speak sometimes la when we have to get things done in the shortest amount of time. so to my OG, i really really really think all of you are great people and it was fun being in the same OG as you guys :) thanks for being part of my last arts camp!

and lastly, to the ocommers, i must say that this years games were fantastic and everything went smoothly from one programme to another. well that's my point of view although i did hear some things from your side. i just want to say that u guys did a great job in organising the activities!!! :) I especially felt that the senior ocommers(bingde, cherie, kaiwei, michelle, sandra, mingguang, weicheng, maomao(zhixiong), cindy, serene and many many more!!!) did a damn fantabulous job for the programmes as well as some new ocommers like joan, weibin, eugene.

anyway, thanks to everybody who have made this arts camp a great last one for meeeee :):)

arts camp rocks!

ps: pictures will come when err i get them which will take some time...

2008-06-15T22:20:00.009+08:00

9-10 june was PRECAMP!!!
took 2 days off specially to have some fun and get ready for the upcoming arts camp. this time round, it seems more friendly and definitely less hostile than previous precamps.. its a very relax mood where people just want to have fun and make friends. i thought it was very good!! especially R HOUSE!!!

R house has the most councillors...

R house has the most ON people...

R house has the friendliest people...

R house ROCK DA CAMP!!!

HH and his councillors!!! (for now.. arts camp shall have more)

R house councillors who stayed over!!! some went to watch football la... and then came late the nxt day some more laaaa......

yes, i was trying to see if i can make the happy face.. err... i think i failed.. hahaha!!!

R HOUSE!!! R HOUSE!!! :)

how can we not take a picture with bingde!!! the one who writes down our thoughts so well!!! :D

WE HAVE WON THE WAR!!! (that day for we won TUG-OF-WAR!!!!)

ps: we won one at the advantaged SLIGHTLY downhill part, and the UPHILL PART of the beach!!!

and many more chou photos to come that will bring us all together...
once in R house, always in R house.. (except for bingde.. blech.)
we've got councillors who are damn zai at 'hei bai pei', councillors who makes people laugh easily, councillors who feed you, councillors who cheer like mad, councillors who skip damn well (and some who don't) and most of all, R house has the best HOUSE ICs in the whole camp!!!! :D:D:D

so those who are still hesitating to join artscamp 08, don't hesitate and just join!!
remember, R HOUSE IS THE BEST!! hahaha

last but not least, let's not forget the people who organised it with great pains, the OCOMMERS!! great job guys!! i had lots of fun during precamp!! and artscamp shall be better!!

YAYYYYY :)

2008-05-22T23:21:00.006+08:00

i decided this movie is seriously under-rated.

Speed Racer is by far one of the best movies i have ever seen in a long time. I actually managed to leave the theatre feeling satisfied with this bubble of happiness inside. :D:D:D

watched this movie 2 times. once last monday and once today. it ROCKS!

Storyline: (with spoilers)

Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is an 18-year-old whose life and love has always been racing. Racing is "in his blood": his parents, Pops (John Goodman) and Mom (Susan Sarandon), run an independent business building racecars, and his brother, record-setting racer Rex Racer (Scott Porter), was killed in Speed's childhood in the running of the Casa Cristo, an incredibly intense cross-country racing rally notorious for rough and foul play.

Before his death, Rex was rejected by his father for his choice to run the Casa Cristo, and publicly defamed for appearing to cheat underhandedly in a race. Now, Speed Racer is quickly sweeping the racing world with his artistic skill, driving the "Mach 5" of his fathers design, but remains interested only in the art of the race and the well-being of his family.

When Mr. Royalton (Roger Allam), owner of conglomerate Royalton Industries, offers Speed an astoundingly luxurious lifestyle in exchange for signing to race with him, Speed is tempted but declines, knowing that his father would never wish Speed to sign with the very power-hungry corporations he so mistrusts. When Speed refuses Mr. Royaltons offer, Royalton reveals that top corporate interests, including Royalton, are fixing races and cheating to gain profit, and then threatens Speeds career success and very life when he still does not agree to sign on.

When Royalton later proves ready to make good on his threats, Speed teams up with his girlfriend Trixie (Christina Ricci), his one-time rival, Racer X (Matthew Fox), and shifty Japanese racer Taejo Togokhan (Rain) to enter the Casa Cristo known as "The Crucible" in part of a plot to uncover the treacheries of Royalton and save the Racer business.

Despite his fathers initial anger at his racing in the Crucible, his family eventually joins up as well, as Speed overcomes Royaltons brutal team and many seemingly-unsurpassable obstacles to win the Casa Cristo, and, finally, the Grand Prix, returning racing to its true purpose and exposing Royaltons corruption.

Furthermore, it is revealed to the audience at the movies end that Rex did not really die (and also did not cheat), but instead underwent plastic surgery to reemerge as Racer X, helping his younger brother finally save his family and his sport.

seriously, u guys should watch this movie and just ignore the media's criticism on it and just watch it. i think it would have made top box office if its release was made earlier or later. coming out in time with 'what happened in vegas' and 'iron man' is such a bad move coz pple are just missing this damn good movie.

(storyline came from IMDB)

ps: even my brother who is has such high stds for movie is gonna watch it AGAIN.

2008-05-19T23:32:00.002+08:00

2 days b4 my v xciting ivp, i took time off to do this.

2008-05-19T14:10:00.006+08:00

Judo competition = hell.

bruises, cuts, lots of abrasions, mat burns, broken blisters and muscle strains..

not to mention probably a dry throat.

NUS team 1: Phuong, elaine, juan cheng, me, connor, kaijian

NUS team 2: Euming, Daniel, Cheryl, Renjun, Yimin, KC and i cant remember the rest

NUS team 2 emerged champions of IVP!!! at least we maintained champions :)

NUS team 1 was erm lets just say Phuong won both matches while the rest struggled. so err ya we lost. but no matter! the other teams are strong and we did our best so i think we did a job well done.

the girls (note me and elaine) are currently battered and bruised and having a hard time moving ard so pls excuse our slowness in getting things done.

elaine: lots of bruises, probably a strain on her feet.

sharon: lots of bruises that is so pain she screams when shufang and xiaomi tried to rub it. (they're evil i tell you, they laugh at me!!!!), a super sprained 3rd finger so much so that its almost twice the size of her other third finger and its purple. so if u hate anybody right now and need a third finger, now would be a good time to borrow mine.

there. its for lease right now.while stocks last.

ps: thanks to shufang and xiaomi for coming down to Republic poly to support us!!! love u guys so much!!! hahaha :)

pss: thanks to nikki for lending me a white tshirt to play coz i forgot abt that stupid rule.

**************edit as of 5.43pm*****************

i forgot to mention abt the fantastic movie we(xiaomi, elaine and me) went to watch after the judo competition.

MADE OF HONOR!!!!!

patrick dempsey was super cute in the show!!!! and Mcdreamy as usual. :)

oh yea, speed racer is a damn good movie too and Rain is good.

sharon n i went to decorate our kbox room and we got lots of help frm e friendly suntec kbox staff (: they have a great sense of humour too hahaaa.
while huishi went to meet ritchell (who had no idea at all tt we were alr there). even though e surprise-her-w-lighted-bday-cake part didnt exactly work out coz e cake wasnt lighted in time(!!!) id still say it was a success!
look at e birthday girl smileeee (:

7 hours of kbox! (we were e last to leave!) we havent had so much fun in a long time.
we love u ritchell!

当我们同在一起，真快乐无比 (:

i was just looking through some pics that my cousin had on facebook and i realised i've never really blogged abt them or talk abt them much.

and we don't take much photos together since all of them live in m'sia and obviously i stay here, in sg.

small note: i'm closer to my cousins in malaysia than those in singapore with the exception of maybe 2 over here.

bottom line: my family doesnt take much photos. heh.

so here are a few we took last christmas when i went back to malaysia. we had barbeque at my grandma house! :) it was fun but i hardly ate. i think i ate like one sausage, one satay and uh .. lots of jelly.

frm left: me, elaine (sitting really awfully on the chair), angeline, alyssa (angeline's sis) and munkit (behind)
the 3 girls.

we played alot whenever i go over to malaysia. partly because we were all the same age and our mums are the closest siblings ever. haha. me (my mum is the oldest), angel ( her mum is the youngest), elaine (her mum is in between). yeah well, there's an uncle in between elaine and angel's mum but guys are out of this post so... yah.

the main females in my grandma house. too bad my grandma is not here.
frm left:
1st row: elaine, me, angel's mum, alyssa, munkit.
2nd row: my mum, my 4th aunt, angel(ine), elaine's mum.
me and angel camwhoring. haha angel u need to send me more pics man. i distinctively recall u promising to send the photos over and u were taking photos like mad that night! haha :)
eating the nice pink jellies... what a gross pic. hahaha yea well 1 of the few moments when i can catch my very super duper smart cousin elaine looking a little "off". did i mention she might stay in singapore after she graduates? hahaha all for the sake of her loverrrrrr... yayyyyy!!!

oh and i found this really cute photo(s) of my paternal grandfather in my mum's cam! it was his 91st birthday this year. unfortunately i couldnt go for the cake (coz of int'l econs. grrrr..), but i did turn up for lunch!

he looks so cute in his hat!!!! haha our birthday present to him coz he said his head was cold at night. so we got him that cap. he was so picky abt his hat too. haha but real cute :) (that's my grandma beside him,

my mum and my grandfather.

my dad and my grandfather.

ok back to mugging. ok not really. more like bed! :D

Went to MOS yesterday! been quite some time since i clubbed. the last time was when we went to butter factory with papa and some of our seniors. Anyway MOS having some promotion. Tertiary students can go in for free but without re-entry,the public goes in for $6 with 1 free drinks on fridays and saturdays before 11pm. went with my poly classmates and silly us showed our ez link card to the bouncers and we didnt realise that it meant we go in automatically for free with no re-entry! and we went in at 9 plus pm! so we spent out time exploring the various rooms in MOs cos some of them had not been to MOS.

The girls from left-gaya,elaine(dawn's sis), me, dawn and maggie. There's liting n desmond(dawn's bf) not in the picture. We were at pure room wasting our time.

We knew we had to take a picture with this. These are my classmates=)The toilet is always the best place to take pictures. We ordered some drinks. shared beer with maggie and desmond. me n desmond were craving for some bbq chicken wings cos it got quite plain drinking the beer after a while.

Derek came n send me home at later=) Danced till my feet hurted. it was quite crowded with alot of IRRITATing people. haha.

2008-04-20T21:22:00.002+08:00

exam is coming and man it sucks. i have no idea how to study. ok i do but whether or not the contents sink into my brain is another matter altogether. haha :D

She watched Forbidden Kingdom yesterday at GV Bishan. Long awaited collaberation of 2 kong fu masters Jackie Chan anf Jet Li. It was almost full house at bishan yesterday. She sat in the fourth row away from the screen and suffered neck ache after that. The story goes that this american kid was transfered to ancient china after being entrusted with the "jin ku bang" that the monkey god used. He had to return it back to the monkey god who was trapped by an evil warlord and needed to stick to fight the warlord...anyway as u can see the storyline is RUBBISH. totally fantasy stuff and they converse in english!!!anicent china= english..hmmmm but WOAAH..check out the fighting scenes! And crystal Liu!!! chio bu!!! anyway once you catch the show, you will know why she is writing in this manner=) hahah..

1st week of school is over!! gosh, my timetable is horrible! i have night classes on tuesday so i am camping in school till 8pm.Modules are super heavy and it includes statistics and research methodology!!! Hello!!!?? i thought i had finally gotten rid of any "maths" topics already. and the worst part is the my project for stats has to be done in a bLOG!!!!! a Blog!!!!!!! its already quite hard for me to blod regulary , lest going online on a regulAR basis..omph..guess i just gotta grit my teeth and get through this semseter! hais!

2008-04-12T23:40:00.007+08:00

today's family day was a little different. we joint-celebrated my grandparents' birthdays! i had such a headache thinking of what to buy them tt i decided to do a little something for them instead.

e word "chen" (read: tan in chinese) is a solid block of wood which was sawed personally by my dad. cool righttt!!! hahaaa. it took lots of time n photoshop to get all e photos tt i wanted in place. n thanks to my dad who gave me lots of help! i esp love my grandparents' photo of them under e umbrella. so sweet!! (:

there was sooo much food (too much as usual). n i was so happy coz there was so much sashimi n i din have to worry abt limiting myself. yayyy! n e birthday man (my granddad) made his legendary ou ni (yam paste) which was super yummm (:

after dinner e cousins got bored n were playing ard w e computer when we found out tt we can take photos w e webcam!! n tt was how it all started. e number of pp behind us just kept increasing until finally e whole family came in to check out e hooha.

e cousin n me.

still e cousin n me. but we've company alr!

*notice e increase in numbers*

we managed to squeeze all 15 of us in! amazing!
according to them i have a ka zua leg (read: cockroach leg) on my forehead. i think its e camera's fault!

my grandparents are so cool cannn! this must be one of e most hilarious family gatherings ive ever had (:

2008-04-12T00:16:00.004+08:00

friday suppers are back on schedule! (we missed supper for so many fridays...!)
ANYWAY, we have progressed frm e guo tie suppers @ fong seng days. todays supper was real sumptuous (:

we had botak jones! e flower hair girl was keeping us from closing e lab on time today. got me worried tt we wouldnt get to clementi on time b4 e stall closed. luckily enough our legs, though short, were pretty fast! hahaaaa. huishi's burger was gooood. at least e burger's beef patty tt i tried was. but todays fishnchips not up to standard so sad. im thinking abt sambal stingray nowww. yes sharon im hungry again hahaa.

huishi tried to show off her artistic skills today. she tattooed this ring n ugly heart shape n made my hand look like some pai kia hand. too bad no pictures due to e absence of her handy good camera and our lousy phone cameras. n she said such outrageous things tt made me laugh till i cried (tts nothing new). e 4 hrs always pass so quickly (:

n on weds i wrote sharon's full name as yap SHEE lun sharon on our tutorial attendance sheet instead of SHI lun. it got ingrained into me tt she was called shee lun. shi lun doesnt exist anymore. hahaa!

2008-04-07T02:08:00.003+08:00

was just browsing through some of the photos/videos i have over the past 2 years and guess what i stumbled upon! a video of RUMBO! i hope we can do it again this year before joy and ritchell goes overseas for exchange, before projects and assignments start swarming us in Yr 3, before all of us forget to meet each other even though we promise to. here's to rumbo. :D

Rumbo's 1st yr annoversary on 26th June 2007.

if u cant view it, u can view it here:

2008-04-06T01:29:00.003+08:00

today i realised one thing i truly love to do w my family. cook! amazingly everyone in my family can cook (n i dont just mean maggi mee hahaa) cooking with my grandparents n parents all in the same kitchen is always an experience.
my grandpa always tries to teach me what to do n ends up doing it himself while trying to demonstrate e correct way to do it (he often doesnt realise hes taking over) n my grandma complains about every step my grandpa does (they have different ways of cooking e same dish). me n my dad will be laughing at how they always complain abt each other in front of us. it's really quite entertaining (: n my grandma n my mum are really starting to resemble each other (they bought e exact same ingredients for soup 2 weeks consecutively. no-synchronization involved) n my dad starting to take after my grandpa (he takes over unknowingly sometimes too hahaa)

anyway what i really wanted to say today is: my thai chilli was a success!!!! it rocks okay i spent one hour chopping all e ingredients n squeezing all tt lime. my fingers were burning after tt frm all e chilli padi. my grandparents n dad were busying preparing everything else for dinner n complaining tt i was taking up so much space n time for my small saucer of chilli sauce. n i had to stop my grandpa frm taking over. heee (:

yayy for my chilli sauce! hahaaa (:

2008-04-04T23:26:00.003+08:00

hey there! winnie 21st bdae was quite a success! haha, photos will have to wait because there has been a little hickup(?spelling) in getting the photos. Promise to send to you guys as soon as i get my hand on them. My cruise photos are there too!
3 weeks of holiday is going to come to an end soon. i really wonder what i have been doing. besides going out and online, that seems to be just about it. derek was asking me why m i not doing anything like taking a job or something. eh.. am i very lazy? although i do think that there's a certain degree of laziness in me but i feel rather justified in that i am enjoying my student life. haaha..because i have worked for a full year full time, i really feel that working aint a bed of roses so i just wanna enjoy myself before entering the working society. Seeing my classmates take up tution one after an another makes me wonder if its really necessary. maybe they need the extra money cos i am comfortable with my allowance and do not need any extra mollah. but then again, who dont want extra money. okay i think i am contridicting myself. blaaah...thooughts running in my head. cant seem to get them organised! haha. . oh wells. maybe i might teach tution if i manage to find one..mayb just mayb. haaha

e girls havent been able to meet properly for weeks! finally getting full attendance for lunch nxt week. yayy (:

F7.Em.Dm7.C.
song stuck in my head (:

脱下长日的假面奔向梦幻的疆界
南瓜马车的午夜换上童话的玻璃鞋
让我享受这感觉我是孤傲的蔷薇
让我品尝这滋味纷乱世界的不了解
昨天太近明天太远默默聆听那黑夜
晚风吻尽荷花叶任我醉倒在池边
等你清楚看见我的美月光晒干眼泪
那一个人爱我
将我的手紧握~
抱紧我吻我喔爱~~~ 别走
隐藏自己的疲倦表达自己的狼狈
放纵自己的狂野找寻自己的明天
向你要求的誓言就算是你的谎言
我需要爱的慰借就算那爱已如潮水

i might just be imagining things.

2008-03-21T12:06:00.010+08:00

woohoo! attachment is over! 3 sweet weeks of holidays...which i am not sure what i am going to do with it but who cares!!!!! looking forward to my cruise this coming wed! i hope it will be fun n memorable=)

hmm..wat did i do for the past 3 wks..went to 1 week of attchment at hougan polyclinic. the polyclinics are like providing services to the masses..very down to earth..lol.. enjoyed myself there. lots of baby watching AND crying. Hospital attchment gave me a glimipse if reality of life. i was attached to the oncology ward in SGH which is the cancer ward. Patients on palliative care (its like caring for them on their last journey), the pain they go through, the sombre mood in the ward and of their relatives..its just so real. but anyway i was quite attached to one of my patient,"susan'. its like her nickname. the 1st day that i saw her she was unresponsive but ytd..she could simle at me when i start work. tt's was gratifying. i asked her how was her day and she told me it wasnt good cos she haven seen me yet...smiles! den i learnt some of the cheem cheem drugs which i am v sure i cannot rmb wat's their name alr. Oncology is such a specialised field.

attend lela's is wedding. 1st time attending malay wedding. its so different from chinese wedding. chinese wedding we normally give angbaos 1st den proceed for dinner rite. MAlays is that we have to eat FIRST den only can we give the angbaos. its sort of thy have to extend their hospitality to us 1st tjose kind..hmm...v big diff huh..lol..

met up wth bernice too...went to watch the spiderwick chronicles. we both thought it was gg to be a lame show. but hey it was quite exciting. lol...took lots of hp picts.yups.

winnie's bdae is coming up!

ps*this is a random post la..

2008-03-18T00:26:00.004+08:00

FINALLY!!!! lets just say, i thought the worst was over but blogger got me pissed. sorryyyyyyyyyyyy :(

anyway, it was cherylyn's 21st birthday on 28th February 2008!!!! well, me and elaine were invited to her DAMN NICE HOUSE!!! they renovated the longest time but i just never did go to her house. anyway, birthday girl's theme was green and everybody had to wear a piece of green to her party and i wore earrings for a damn good reason. i had to go DXO after and i didn't have nice green tops or bottoms, so the tiny earrings. hahaha anyway,

here's the birthday girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (above) so cute right!!! like how many years ago..

and now she became this!!! (above) [u're looking at the wrong one, its the one on the left, really.] the other one was my gift (and elaine's) to her. it makes a really nice fairylike tinkle.

her room is like the coolest room i've ever seen in my life. u step into her room and its a mess. nah just joking. anyway, the coolest part was the lime green cosy hole in her room as u can tell elaine is sitting on her chair in the nice cosy hole, looking like she's part of a framed up picture. and there is a TRAPDOOR to her brother's room! there's like a ladder to go down and all! like HOW COOL IS THAT LA!!!! hahahaha

ah yes, the only people we know: charlene, selina(new friend), sarah. and guess what we found in cherylyn's room???? hahaha yes, we found MR. RIGHT!!!!! anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHERYLYN!!!!! (erm, sry its late here?)

we had to leave early for khercheng's dancing performance at DXO. it was really crowded and full of dancers. we couldnt really see much but those that we saw were really cool moves. haha we took GREAT PAINS to watch khercheng dance la! people were standing on stools right, we HAD TO climb on the step footing of THEIR stools and tiptoe on our HEELS, balancing on the bar with our tired and flabby arms just to watch him dance. hahahahaha. oh wells, it was fun watching them and scrambling to find a place to watch the dancing. we took that picture on the esplanade roof top. so disappointing, no KCMM found. huhhhhh.

and then a few days later, we went for training on monday (3rd March 08) to celebrate renjun's birthday (4th march)! her birthday cake was so cute. i think its the cutest birthday cake i've everseen. happy birthday renjun! (albeit late here as well)
PROOF: that we went. check out the date ok!!!! hahaha :D

i never saw so many applications on facebook in one person's profile before. its like the longest i've ever saw!!!!! hahaha shant tell you who's this tho. papa wouldnt like it.

oh yes, i took this test the other day for like a 5 min break. yea well, doesn't the "well dressed" guy look gooddddd... haha i had to take patrick dempsey's photo along as well. it was just beside the test! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

ok seriously, i'm screwed big time this sem. but for once, i actually felt really good after a paper. its the first time in my entire life, i've handed in a blank paper for my micro test and i feel GOOD! its like some perverse feeling that i shud not be feeling right now but i am. oh wells. anyway, sorry this came late but blogger was really irritating today and the last time. i hope this loadsssssssssssssssssssssssssss...

2008-03-16T23:01:00.002+08:00

i'm sorry peeps!!!

i know its like a long time since we last blogged. i PROMISE to blog tmr!!!! after the micro test, after my soci presentation, after my soci midterm essay is passed up.

so tune in on Monday night 17 March 2008.

2008-03-05T18:50:00.003+08:00

have you watch it yet? Leap years....sighz...singapore 1st ever romantic movie i think?? its real nice, alittle draggy in the middle but the superb love story makes up for it. definitely will apeal to those die hard romantics out there!!! well...watching the movie literally felt like watch/ reading a story so i thought it was a movie that appeal to me. there were a few classic scenes that i thought were reallly beautiful- 1st . Li-ann(wong li lin) and jeremy (ananda) lying on the roof top. 2nd-jeremy so silly-ly going to the middle of the road to show the O K signs on his palms. 3rd- the gorgeous way the li-ann looked when she and jeremy was going to er....make out...she looked so beautiful! and joan chen as the older li-ann was a stunner. you could really feel her presence whenever she came on the screen. yupz..in all...it's a love story that will tug you at your heart strings although i have not really heard of such in real life(duhzzzzz...its a STORY!) haha...

its my 3rd day of attachment at hougang polyclinic today. Gained alot of knowledge. hopefully they will stay with me. my 1st impression of going to the polyclinci was like-its all eye power and super BORING. at least this was what everyone was saying. its was so for the 1st day. felt like i didnt really gained much knowledge. luckily one of my lecturers came down and gave us a wake up call=p. there was quite alot to learn such as how to manage chronic illness like hypertension,diabetes,asthma etc. i cant claim to be an expert cos i tend to blank out at times anw=p but i still learn something. there is an increasing trend of Singaporeans getting such illness and these illness are really a hassle cos you will have to take extra care in managing your lifestyle and to take all the medication. therefore, it is really good to start from young to have a healthy lifestyle and diet. in the long run, it will be a lesser burden on your health, financial burden, family members!

one of my senior who is an advanced practiced nurse which is similar to a nurse practitioner gave a talk to us. these nurses are very much involved in the patient care, medication. they can give diagnose. the only difference between the former and latter is that the latter can write prescription-like a doctor. she is currently the only advanced practiced nurse in the national health cluster! so proud of her! well...i must start to plan of my future already....

2008-03-02T16:54:00.007+08:00

anyway, back to the main task. i have been "ordered" to blog about the PPGs outing to sentosa on the 28th feb 2008 which was yesterday=) i was quite satisfied with our tanning results..hahaha..we went back to palawan beach are 3A where it was realtively deserted..so we can sun tan in peace and SLEEP! haha..slpt and tanned for around and hour or so..2 groups of indian guys came n sat around our area. one group was eating pocorn-.-(as if they were watching some movie and the other group ws blasting some tamil music which was so taotally clashing with our fang da ting or olivia's songs! haha. we got ourselves some super over priced ice creams from the bus shaped provision shop at palawan beach. the uncle was so cute..he was asking us how come we want to stay under the sun for so long.well so we can bring u some business uncle=p

after tanning and decideing not to swim, we went back to vivo to have some sarawak kolo mee! yumz..we were so hungry, we sort of ate in silence for few minutes. it was kinda funny but we were hungry mahs!

after sharon and elaine went back to sharon's place(they had a party to attend n a dance competition to see), i made the horrible mistake to call my mum cos i ended up buying grocery for her la..went back home da bao xiao bao..supertired..haha..here are some of the pictures..

2008-02-27T22:44:00.003+08:00

this pic was taken during CNY when the 3 of us were at J8 waiting for renjun & hejia to go to wei min's house to 拜年!

2008-02-24T17:02:00.006+08:00

i know i know i'm missing in action. there is seriously something wrong with me this semester. I'm super messed up, totally not motivated to do ANYTHING, know nuts about what the hell is going around in sch and totally buggerified by the fact that my future is blank. damn.

anyway, chinese new year went by, v-day did too and i didn't blog. darn it. so here's a quick update on what's been going on!!! haha :D

CNY:

we are getting old but we are still as kuku as ever (:

2008-02-16T00:10:00.002+08:00

RARRRRRRRRRR!!!!

i swear some people live in the past and probably believe in

1."children should be seen not heard".
2. never give your point of view to some one older than you because it means your're talking back to them and that's rude. POV LEH!!! WTH!
3. kids these days are all rude.
4. they are always right.
5. i do so much but i'm not appreciated when the truth is the opposite.
6. they can do things but others cannot.

RARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-02-15T23:50:00.003+08:00

Bike quest last friday was really fun but super tiring! expected really bad aches but it didnt turn out too bad! i got 2 bruises on my butt though. boooo. for those who don't know what bike quest is...

bike quest is organized by nus fass arts club. there are 2 categories, competitive and leisure. (ok so i took leisure...) teams of 4 are suppose to cycle around singapore to play games at pitstops, take random photos at the optional stops and just have fun! of course, we weren't exactly told abt where is our next destinations, we had to solve clues given by them and head to the next pitstop or whatever that is coming next. e.g: Anagram: A Spatula. u can try figuring out the place. so it was all pretty fun :)

Team: BUTTERFLY RIDERS!!!!!

meet the yellow man!

the lovers! and.... the one blogging doesnt have an indiv photo coz nobody took for her!
(BOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!)

stopping at central while on the way to zouk. (a bridge behind a four letter place that has excellent night scene*or something along those lines*)

BUTTERFLY RIDERS totally hip TATTOO!!!! yes mac didnt know how to put it, so it fell off.

sexxxxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. she took the really large butterfly!

Strawberry kisses. Siew bao. oyster flavoured vermicelli. ice jelly with soursop. peaches with selasih. ( had to start with s and end with h and a min of 5 dishes at one pitstop.)

btw, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR PEOPLE!!! wishing u guys a prosperous year ahead with lots of good luck! ( i know i need it, come one wish me too!! haha joking) anyway, LOTS OF HONGBAO IN a few hours!!!! yayyyy! :)

2008-01-29T23:20:00.000+08:00

SOME people just don't get it.

It has been told over and over again RIGHT in their face but do they change?

NOOOOOOO!!!

honestly, i've never felt so disgusted in my life about someone.

and the worst part is, its not even done to me.

2008-01-25T01:34:00.000+08:00

finally, tutorials settled and the week is beginning to look up. this week is a really bad week. monday was filled with traffic problems, txtbook problems and just plain grouchiness.
tuesday was miserable coz i had woke up with a really bad cold and i had MORE txtbk problems being a gong that i was.
Wednesday was a problem solving day thanks god.
today(ok yesterday:read thursday) is the best day of the week so far. we met xiaomi for lunch and movie and just chatted. feels good :) haha and all 3 of us were wearing black! damn we didnt take a photo. ah wells nxt time. hehe :D
27 dresses is hilarious and really funny; too bad we had to pay $8 for the tix since its the opening day.
my hermit crabs keep burrowing themselves and i think it has got to do with the tank size and the lack of heat at night. anyway, they are most interesting and definitely a lot more harder to care for. its really challenging and i'm pretty sure elaine is sick of hearing "hermit crabs". so if i ramble on too much, just ask me shut up :)

anyway, my aircon is fixed. my txtbk problem solved. my internet is fixed. my crabs are giving me problems. my nose is getting better. and my timetable is a 3-day week.bikequest nxt sat! things are definitely looking up. i hope it stays that way! :)

********edit*********
ooo did i mention friday? i woke up, rolled onto my side on the bed, opened my eyes and saw something crawling on the floor under my table. i wore my glasses and my first words were,"what the hell".
my teeniest hermit crab was taking a morning walk on my bedroom floor.

2008-01-22T20:40:00.000+08:00

oooo new timetable, new free days and where did we spend it?

naturally,

SENTOSA!!!!

fine day, NO crowd. it was PERFECT for sunbathing at the beach! hehe :P.

cool drinks. a mate who brings all the necessities= FUN!
haha the first time we went exploring in the so called "new" sentosa although its still in progress! the last pic on the right bottom is the view of mainland singapore from

imbiah lookout.

(sry xiaomi, i had to put purple coz the printed imbiah lookout in purple at sentosa!)

WE LOVE OURSELVES!!! haha 自恋!
hoohoo can't believe i wore a bikini!

i love the the mosaic dragon tho i cld never find the head or tail.

haha we had to ask a local tour guide who was leading a pack of hongkongers to help us take a photo of the merlion and us!!! haha can't help it, we were being tourist to our own country that day.

i know we look really pale here but we were super sun burnt after that and my skin is still suffering from tingles. hah!

2008-01-16T01:13:00.000+08:00

i wanted to show our host and hostess (pinya and mon!) but i realised i dun have a nice photo of them. will show when we get e other pictures! anyway, his family was real kind! they treated us to seafood at this faraway place and even threw a surprise *real belated* birthday celebration for huishi!

we went for seafood again e nxt day. but by e beach this time! their beaches are so visitor friendly they have millions of deck chairs n umbrellas and they are free. i LOVE their chilli. everything tastes good w their chilli hahaa.

den we went to e tiger zoo and got to hug and take photos w tiger cubs! they are superrr cute! like some soft toy hahaa. e bigger ones were kinda scary though.

the monkey got pissed off and hissed at huishi when she refused to let go of e nut. HAHA.

and we got our hair braided! it nv dawned on me how much hair i have until now. i think e person doing mine got tired. heee. and e skipping rope girl! (read: sharon) she was real funny (:

finally got to go to e REAL floating market.

check out our stash! its like a mountain and theres so much weird stuff in it coz 1) me n huishi went crazy at their Boots *e bestest pharmacy ever* and 2) skipping rope girl was planning to set up her own home *means lots of home stuff*. HAHA. oh wells it was fun shopping heee. i miss e chicken wings and kebabs and hotdogs and e CHILLI (:

2008-01-13T23:38:00.000+08:00

school starts in 12 hours!!! for me and elaine that is.

*runs ard in circles and pulls out hair*

i wish school wouldnt start so soon. my poor heart can't take it.

on a brighter note, i made a calendar!

*****edit as of 12.50am 14/1/08***

just read an email from my cousin and its quite accurate.

Message from George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways,but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.

We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.

We've added years to life not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour.

We conquered outer space but not inner space.

We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.

We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less.

We plan more, but accomplish less.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait.

We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.

Remember: spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it.

A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak!

And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

My very 1st post of 2008!

School has been very busy since it started last Wednesday. this week i have to do 2 project presentations and the lecturers are quite nitty pricky. oh wells...with all the work that my frens and i have put in, hope we will get a B at least..nothing lesser than that!!!!
Got a scare of my life today! Today is elective day and this week and next week is our Malay oral test. I was very confident that mine was in the next week so i have NOT touch anything that is/ was/ has related to malay( malay food counted???hahah). i was walking halfway out of a school when one of my fren called and say the malay teachers might want to get the oral test over and done with in aday. Panic bells rang man, so its was a mad dash to the North canteen to meet my frens and cramp whatever malay we could talk... The results were super hilarious, we were stumbling over our word and everything..buah dada, buah zakar(hehe...if u know malay u know wat they mean...no dirty minds k..i am in healthcare industry mahs.) Anyways...ended up i was to take the test next week... WASTE OF MY Time in school kay!!!aiyo....but it was quite fun la actually...

the two girls are in thailand rite now..hope they are having fun and are safe!!!!! miss u!!!!!

Revenge of the Nerds:
The Nerds decided it was time to party at sharon's house on the 29th dec'07.

Exchange of presents! it was really fun opening the presents and reading the nice cards and photocards from everyone!!! i hope u guys like the book u got from meeeeeeee!!!! darn i shud get one myself right. hehe if not how can it be COMPLETE????

nice photos from smuishi!!! joy forgot to take hers home!! how cld u joy!!!

the nerds getting ready to party!!!

oh gawd. that's not me. that's the discipline mistress!!! hehe
meet the Prefect.monitress.model student & discipline mistress!
pai kia as usual came late!
ATTENTION!
Nerds can cook! huishi was probably eating the corn as she "cooked".

lets all give a toast to the nerds!!!!

Who can forget monopoly with spongebob and patrick? too bad patrick was stuck in jail 4 times in a row because his master kept landing on the "Go directly to Jail, Do not pass go or collect $200". and i hope u can guess who that is. its not me for the record.

The nerds played monopoly for awhile and then we watched a really lame but funny movie. and then it was back to being cool :)

PS: i hope u realised that there was no difference in huishi appearance during the "transformation process".

2008-01-02T01:41:00.001+08:00

2007 is gone and will be a year i'll not forget. Many things have changed in the past year and i think i grew the most within the span of this past year. New friends are made and older friendships are strengthened.

i am glad i have not lost all the friendships i've made in SCGS and i have liming, cherylyn, nicola, cassandra, chrystella and charlene to thank for. Though i may not be the closest of friends with you guys, its good to know that i've not lost all contacts with people i've known in SCGS.

U know how sometimes u go through school and u never talk to certain people or at least not even have a proper conversation with in your entire stint in school? its funny how events bring people together and u only get to know these people outside school. I've gotten to know kaiwei and cherie better only after arts camp in uni even when the 3 of us were from the same sec sch.Its fun meeting them around uni coz they're just always full of energy with their "HI SHARONNNNN". thanks guys for making school seem a lil more mad.

and then came my Jc mates.winnie, huiwen, chris, jieying, leonard, terence. i know i'm pretty anti-social and am not very close to my class but its great to know that we can still meet up as a group 1 or 2 times this yr and just listen to your conversations. :) Judo was once a very big part of my life, esp during Jc days. Its sad that we do not meet up very often now esp this yr, but i hope 2008 will bring us more meetings. on
a brighter note, i'm glad shufang, xiaomi and elaine still make up a good part of my life. :)

University brought about many friends i would have never thought i could make. I always thought university was a lonely place and friendship would be hard to make considering the different subjects that people would take. On top of that, lectures are just too huge and tutorials too short and little. thanks to arts camp, i've found a very close bunch of friends in uni. Huishi, Ritchell, Joy & Elaine(i've no idea where to place her). Its been great knowing you guys with all the fun and laughter, hardwork and sadness that we've been through together. i thank arts camp for making us even closer than before and this last semester has been precious to me :) i hope our friendship never ends.

There are way too many new friends made during arts camp especially this year. There is the whole lots of monkeys in Raiko who can chat non-stop and i've never seen such a bunch of chatty monkeys in my whole life at all. They can go on and on and on and on and on and on... endless! Reizins, my freshies, even tho i'm not close to any of u (which i regret alot), i'm glad u've found friends of your own in this OG. its a comforting thought to me that i've not bungled the whole oweek for you guys. :) ah yes... my ever-helpful and thoughtful AOGL, honghui. i'm glad u were there when i needed u during owk and even after owk. :) There are many other friends i've made during camp and i'm glad i did. If it werent for them, i think school would not be as interesting! Chonghan, Cheryl, Alicia, Julie, Bingde, Titus, Khercheng, and many many more whom i just cant finish typing out.

and lastly, to my 4 years of friendship with elaine and michelle. i don't think i would be the same person without u guys. Every year with you guys is important and something i'll never be able to live without. Thanks for being there for me whenever i needed u guys. u guys were always a phonecall or msg away. i just hope i was just a good a friend to you guys like u were to me. thanks for your friendship. :)

Next up: Revenge of the nerds as well as what i've been up to the last few days.

PS: HAPPY 2008 PEEPS!!!

2007-12-25T20:34:00.001+08:00

After some walking ard we went our seperate ways. han went home. leonard went to buy his DC heros towel. and the girls went shopping!!!!!! well...it was so tempting to go on the spree but the "frugal" girls had to stop themselves so i ended up with a pair of heels from mondo and elaine ended up with 2 cardigans(both black..wonder wat her parents gg to say...black agin?!!hahha). tt's our spoils for the day!

2007-12-21T22:46:00.000+08:00

off to malaysia tmr morning so i won't be updating anytime soon... so here's a really looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong post that dictates my life since i've left for tazzie! :)

here's the OYSTER farm, ABALONE farm, MUSHROOM farm(3 pics).
and then there's always the tree top walk... more tree walks.. the DAM.. :D
i don't think i've ever seen more trees in 7 days in my life before. all the bus rides in forests. thank god i slept most of the time. heeeeee :D

we went for a cruise trip to see the seals and hopefully the dolphins and whales.. but the dolphins and whales hated us. they refused to surface.. :(:(:( but there were SEALS! BABY seals!! haha i love summer time. :)

oh yes, the dog above belongs to the cruise people and apparently the dog is never behind during a cruise. Its really cute. it gets all excited when it sees the seals and would put his paw up to look at the ships surroundings.. haha just to catch a glimpse of the other animals in the sea.. and the cutest part was when we reached the dock, he fetch a really huge branch and gave it to all of us before running away in the distance waiting for us to play 'fetch' with it! DAMN CUTE!

we went to see wild penguins and i think that was the most exciting part of the trip coz the penguins were SO DARN CUTE!!!! the way they waddle in groups to cross the bridge and go up the tiny hill to their burrows. and they talk for 2 hrs with their mate before slping. and talk again for 2 hrs before they leave in the morning to catch food. and haha there is even penguin city and suburbs!! can u believe it!! the penguin city was just a whole patch of grass full of burrows and noisy penguins while the suburbs were like burrows further away from the city and definitely more quiet!! hahaha superrrr cute.

and then we went to the sauce farm, some DAM with lots of peacocks and a lizard with blue tongue. the vineyard which was really boring and i ended up taking a colouring page and crayons and started colouring with the help of my cousin,elaine. :) isn't my treasure chest cool??? we went to honey farm where the building was decorated with 107 bees or was it 109?
the wildlife park (who can forget the wildlife park in aussie?) meet mr koala, wizard the wombat, baby tasmanian devil, a wallaby with a baby in her pouch :)

we went to this tiny village where the whole village was just painted with lots and lots of muriels. really pretty :) and someone actually has a alpaca for a pet! we went to the cheese farm and i bought WASABI CHEESE!!! its damn nice.. shiok man! and of course, the salmon farm. this farm has lots of DOG POOP!! i think i saw more poop than salmons in that farm. urgh..
my dad went to the harley davidson musuem on the last day and it all started with a bicycle with a motor!

other places we went to: seahorse world (i saw tiny baby seahorses like in hundreds!), cradle mountain, dove lake but ya i tot we took pictures but i can't seem to find them(except for seahorse world coz no pictures allowed there). oh wells.

and then came SINGAPORE :)

Friday night:
clubbing with the girls. but it wasnt really much of clubbing. and it was a pretty odd group. but nevertheless, it was great meeting up with winnie, xiaomi, hejia, and elaine( ok hers is not counted i see her almost everyday since i've been back). Judo seniors were there too and it was good seeing them after such a long while tho i dont think i was ever really close to them except maybe 2.
met up with the girls on saturday!!! haha watched Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium with smeelaine and smuishiiiiiiiii. the movie was good with all the magic and toysss!!! i love both by the way. but the ending was pretty abrupt. oh wells. photo whoring as usuallllllll :)

Smelaine, Smuishi and i found a new friend today!!!!

meet HARRY!!!!!

it all started with a raspberry cheese cake.

and we found cute little harry happily sunbathing its belly on our cake.

TRESPASSER-ALERT.

he took a catnap.

but realise he was stuck when he woke up!

when he finally got his backside unstuck, harry tried to climb down the half-consumed disaster.

but he arrived on flat ground only to find himself at the mercy of captain fork.

we're sorry harry but none of us can save you.
RIP just like my crab whom lasted a fair bit better than you by a few hours.

PS: Courtesy of script from huishi.Photos is also from huishi as it was happily taken by her new cam. Pictures was designed basically by smelaine and smuishi. smaron didn't do much.

PSS: smaron bought a crab on friday afternoon. but it didnt last through one day at her house. *sobs for a second and thinks abt getting a proper one soon.*

I think i've never experienced such despair in my studies before and i know i'm not alone.

Sometimes the oddness of having a normal conversation with friends whom u've never talk much with brings simple happiness. and i want to thank that person. Lets just say his msges are of different topic than what everybody is lamenting about now albeit a little wierd at the oddest of time. :)

anyway, ENCHANTED is a really funny show and those who are really burnt out shud just take 3 hrs off one day to go watch it and let the stress leave you as u laugh hard at the movie.

off to haven.

Currently in seclusion, so technically, i'm not suppose to blog because people in seclusion is not allowed to. in my books. :)

but.. i need to tell people.. I LOST MY FREAKING PHONE!!!! so ya, my need to blog.
either i dropped it on the bus which i dont think so, or someone just nicked it out of my bag's pocket. huishi helped me call my phone, and that person picked it up! at first i thought there'll be hope in getting it back but to my horror, that person just pick up, never talk and hang up. Called again and the same thing happen. Called the third time, and it was off. DAMMIT! may that person get a car crash and die on the spot. reported it to the police and informed them of the "imae" no. ( i dunno how to spell) and apparently, if anybody uses my phone with any kind of sim card, it can tracked down! hurray.. but then if that idiot sold it to a 2nd hand phone shop, i doubt i'll get it back, it'll probably sit there for like forever.

hurhur.. I MISS MY PHONE!!!!!
anyway, thanks to huishi and elaine for making me happier and for lending me a sony ericsson phone (huishi) for the time being. i'm not intending to get a new phone. shall wait for new ones to come up. :) but.. I STILL MISS MY PHONE!!! i had fond memories of it:

1. i dropped it into the toilet bowl and got it fixed.
2. it died on me again and i went to fix it again. waited 2 hours before i was served mind you.
3. died again but eversince, has worked perfectly for the longest time and I MISS IT!!!
4. took tons and tons or photos with it. (btw, the photo of huishi's BIG lips is still in the phone haha)
5. msged a thousand pple with it!!! (ok not a 1000 but ya u get what i mean)

see all the times we went through together!!
drop me a msg of your phone no. in my email or msn or just msg me. my no. hasn't changed, so i'll receive it. :)

oh wells. back to seclusion.

PS: good luck for the exams people!!!

********edit as of 12.38 am wednesday*********
i swear i am stupid.
i just realize i didn't SUBMIT my SEP application. coz i didn't click continue after i module mapped. DAMMIT! there goes my one chance of going for SEP...
upsetted. :(

I AM IN THE LIBRARY NOW LEHS! unbelievable! and u know what i think staying in sch is super productive lar.. at least i wont waste 2 hours of travelling time coz one hour of that is to recuperate from the long hour of travelling to sch. and then there is no fridge for me to rampage when i'm bored while studying and no tv... and bed... and dog... :):):)

i shud stay in sch to study everyday mans!
we went to ritchell's hall to bathe and their corridor is like super messy lar! haha but i think its damn fun.. it has a very nice community feel!!! :D:D

anyway, huishi and elaine are currently buying back drinks for us(me and ritchell) from fongseng and i'm dying for my horlicks peng! :D

hmm.. shall add photos later when i decide to take a break again!!! ciaozzz! :)

2007-11-11T16:00:00.000+08:00

i need to see more sun!

we have been cooping ourselves up in e discussion rooms all day（s）. i got so used to the seclusion tt even the lunch crowds along the corridor overwhelmed me. hahaa. but i have to say, the company is good (: we have lived and breathed each other for e past weeks!

smaron, auntie phua and me. and ritchell joined e club recently! apparently, we're such good study buddies (actually i think more like entertainers) tt ritchell managed to survive a WHOLE 6 hours w/o touching her can of coffee! look whos more potent hahahaa.
i likee studying w e girls (:

smaron's tastiest stars in the universe!

lotsa food+drinks+jaychou's new songs keeping us alive. and vitamin c love frm my father (: 强身健体!! we're all down w e flu bug so enter our room at ur own risk hahaa. i think we're studying too much. even our daily conversations dont make sense anymore.

huishi: SHARKBAIT HOOHAHA.

huishi: send me songs HOOHAHA.

elaine: okay HOOHAHA.

theres too much farts and burps in the world!

2007-11-09T01:12:00.000+08:00
