i scream "modular break!" wheee. its overrr! and i get 2weeks of R&R before another mad frenzy awaits me! but then, i'll be lookg forward cos its the Magazine Writing and Production module! smells like fun, albeit the sucky fact that i probably gotta do tons of writing. still, im gonna go have a wild time. had the test(40%) ytd. thankfully, it was relatively alright, cos i eh, uh, didnt exactly study for it! heehee. and once again i left the earliest. really do hope my classmates don't think im proud/snobbish or anythg.

weekend was goot! i had fun with loved ones. (: and it was so justified for i was thirsting for it like a dog. HAHA. supp to go swimming at delta on fri but we didnt made it in the end. day was turning dark, started drizzling. so we settled for a hearty, healthy, wholesome meal at tiong bahru mkt! Roro finally had her SHARKS MEAT lor mee.

saturday: went for lecture in the morn, and left shortly after to rescue Roro from the clutches of the pixie's sista. who can be equally toxic.! haa. its so obvious that she was so crestfallen when she saw me. oops. haha. and i actually felt good abt me. man, i know i can be a real bitch at times. then aftward mei, dennis n weijian had a spin in twinnie's daddy's new car! a spanking red mazda 2! heehee. so funns. i think i've smwhat fallen in love with that cute little red button.woots. afterwhich we zip ard town with gracie cos she needed to buy sm groceries etc! and it was retail therapy yet again! last week itself i gt 5tops and a dress. scary. i need to STOP spending and start saving for rainy days i know. and then gt eyelash curler from daiso, plus those cute little paper gift bags! and plum mints! then there was sale at chomel, which came as a shock cos we actually stepped in there. haha. it was a off-our-usual shop kinda thing. but they actually had sm really pretty tops and dresses, all going at a song! whee.e a fruitful day with cheap thrills.

svc n cell on sunday. then we caught JUNO, which i found very endearing and heartwarming. discourses were all so witty and entertaining. niceee. (:

and its back to work ): and back to assignment 3, back to revival mtg tmr. period of lent.

the very much sought after/craved for/awaited F-R-Y-D-A-E is finally, i repeat, FINALLY here! i have 0 idea why, but i seriously have been looking forward to this day. probably bcos the week was a tiring one, zapping and draining all energy off me. and perhaps the previous wkend was insanely packed with a million worries. oh wells, im just glad its friday once again. tho its gonna be super short-lived. stil, im glad. and i can at least let my hair down a little, party and rest.

i love shopping. shopping does wonders. its makes me exhilarated. its like all the happy endorphins starts swimming around in a frenzy. shopping is so therapeutic. be it a small piece of sticker, a bday banner, a silly octopus toy, a dress, whatever. i really derive lots of satisfaction by it. sigh. much to contrary, christians aint supp to be caught up with all these materials of the earth. ohwell. i dont know. guess i will try not to be overly obesessed with it. just wanted to emphasize the kind of joy.

that aside, i need some encouragemt for my horrible / almost non-existent spiritual life. i need a little boost and a little prayer. it seems so tough to even find time. everyday's about work and school, and playing a little. smtimes i wonder how i can have the cheek to leaf thru a magazine, or flip the papers yet am always procrastinating and pushing God's word aside. i need to repent, and start doing smthg soon. otherwise, i can forget getting into the kingdom.

random bites
some people try so hard to get things they want but often they dont get it. some without trying, it just comes to them so easily. ): food for thought. sigh.

time for an update! its sch n wk this week, in betweens sandwiched with mini shopping time! gt nice tops over at westmall! so chio right dot! haaa.prob wanna go exchange sm dress today.hmm. that is if the bestie doesn't want it.

did lotsa manual labour, packing those leftover stock the company had, to be distributed for a whopping 3 hours. madness. can feel the ache today. ugh. tired! am thankful its thurs already. i need a breakkk! riyoki has gone home, home feels kinda empty. haha. i've forged a bond with that velvety chinchilla for about 1mth or so. hehs.

i really do appreciate the fact that smone much more seniority that me seeks my opinions for her nail colors, shoe color, clutch bag, etc! sounds v bimbotic i know but i like it tt way. helpg each other out regardless of age or whatever. (;

this is the 4857490818391832th time im gonna emphasize, i want a well-deserved break! a short getaway, an escapade, roadtrip, cruise, jet set to anywhere! pls bring me, pretty pls. )':

dear all, it's monday! another brand new beginning wk to challenges, work, school and evermore grace from above.

i haven't been the most faithful to God, havent been doing my quiet time for what seems like eons, and i haven't been praying much. but really, GOD has been ever gracious to me, making me learn to be thankful in all circumstances. His love is really UNCONDITIONAL.esp pertaining to my presentation on saturday. i do not deny it was freaking scary, and had butterflies in my tummy, to the extent that u feel the ache and wanna go bomb, which i did in the end, jus slightly before my presentation. but i so felt the peace from God during the whole 3mins of presentation!! wheee. hee. can u imagine talking in front of some 50ppl? was really horrifying, but i managed to breeze thru it, and even earned a 'interesting' from my lecturer! woohoo. i was pretty sure i was the first one he ever said such, and boy am i grinning fr ear to ear when i heard that. woots* but really am thankful to God for providing such a great fren, dot! that girl gave me all the great ideas, found all her grpmate's previous projs and emailed me so that i didnt have to do much research. and all those wk she sent me were distinctions! thank u so much babe. for staying up with me at macs til about 3am on fri night, for being with me, giving me soooo much support, for initiating to bring yr laptop, thumbdrive, lending it to me, being so involved as tho it was yr presentation, and for helping me so much in the entire proj! i am so ashame when i thot of the times when i snapped at u, and got irritated and pekchek, and cranky with u. i apologise here. but really, u the best babe! XOXO (:

other than that, wkend was pretty awesome. tho super shagged! only caught 3 hrs of sleep on fri nite. went over to ahmei's house for minibbq n steamboat on the hot plate! hee. had fun with eug,mei,suats n twin. was a cosy affair. i like it this way. i think i kinda prefer the "the less the merrier" idea. haaa.fun time of sharing and cooking, and we were all stuffed to the brim, busted! had custard apple too, was absoyummilicious! then gt angbao from mei, sm goodies she brought bk for us fr taiwan and nice shades, tho twin's one was kinda SONG2. still, we had fun! then took the 1130 66 from her pad to twin's plc then i took a cab home cos was so freaking lethargic. boo.

ytd we brought charmaine n mooncher out and i almost want to kill them when they couldnt come to a concensus as to where to have lunch. damnit. i always tell myself nv to bring them out but smhw the heart will soften, and we'll say yes, and regret soon after. wth. life's a contrary bitch la. but really wanted to strangle n kill them! grrr. thanks babe, for being with me and staying on, and taking charge. sorry for blowing my top off at u. ):

went hm early last nite,slept from 7-10, haha! i need it very much. am feelg more refreshed n recharged now. and my mama is bonkers la. gt sm dinner tonight and keep asking if i gt clothes she can wear, and keep disturbing me when im trying to fall asleep! tsk. but im glad we can share clothes!!! haha tho she said she aint sure its a gd thing or not. cos either 1) she put on weight or 2) i lost weight. but cant be the latter so haha not so gd for her!

anw, blessed wk ahead babes (:

ello, happy well-lantern's day! Mei u bee more row man thick, sack sea, bee tea full, loaf lee n at track teeth. heehee.

i had an awesome pre-valentine's/frenship day surp from adifferentdot. hee. went all the way to get a rose from holland v fr me. hw sweet. (: not forgetting the balloon and super cute card! such an apt card, with one of our fav songs "you light up my life" what a nice surprise! hee. and God made it happier by giving me another DISTINCTION for my theories of communication and persuasion module! wheee!

hee and i shall proudly attach a pic of it! am so thankful to God for making all these possible. juggling work with sch hadnt been so smooth n easy but He made it happened. am glad.

back to work on tues, and have been getting angbaos!! hee. tues from adel, wed from angie n beeling, thurs fr cuzzie, and today from sophia n belin. wahahaa. so nice ya. sweet gestures.

and being the sweet me, i gt nice little boxes of chocs and gerberas for the classmates and the bestfren! all in diff hues of pink. i luv gerberas! but i really abhor the auntie's attitude of hurrying me when i had to do the wrapping myself. HELLO u are supp to do it for me, im the customer lor! grrrr.made me so kanchiongfied. bleah.

went IMM during lunch ytd, grabbed all the pressies. was madness. but really, God is like 'scary' at times. He made things which seemed so far, so impossible, POSSIBLE! God really hears our wishes and prayers, no matter how insignificant we feel they are. so there!

anyhw, 29feb marks the last day of work for me at worldkitchen. shd be quite confirmed. hmmm. mixed feelgs. ugh. means i have to get my ass to start scouting for a job. new changes, new faces. damnit, hate that kinda phase. eeks. but for now, im elated its friday. tho i have classes tmr and the sucky 3-min presentatn. just pray that i wont talk at warped speed pls.

im dying for a holi, a short getaway, an escapade, a roadtrip. whatever.

was blogsurfing, happen to bump into this girl's blog which i'd thot was permitting private viewing but apparently some updates are still up. her life seems to be sooo funn! mann. and she is so pretty and she has gorgeous clothes! how green i got. was thinking, looks sure mean everythg eh? it is so easy to get things in yr favour. mann. i always wonder and ask God why i aint born with the perfect set of teeth, the highest of nose bridges, the megawatt smile, the sparkling eyes. but i realise, damn, ive nthg to complain. and who am i to complain?

that aside, CNY has been amazing so far. it has been mtg of same grp of relatives for the past 3 days but i really really had a good time. its really smthg to be thankful for. for keeping us so closely together after all these years. despite rare meet ups. they make the most significant ppl in my life. but of cos am refering to mama's side. daddy's side are just more distant and aloof. i just enjoy the discourses btw my ma, aunt and cousins. always so funny! *warm and fuzzy feel* despite certain times of "dunnowhattodoness" cos my aunt tends to be so enthu abt sharing how good God is in her life that she smtimes dunno when she shd stop. i mean its good that she's so hyper abt it, but smtimes we gotta tone it down a little, and prolly be a lil more sensitive to others ard us? i dunno. i do applaud her for ever being so open, so awed by God's grace in her family. but smtimes she need to brake! hehs.

anw, i learnt not to complain la. cos grass always greener at the other side. and i reckon there will be no end to it. anyhw, i seriously think i've put on weight, and in accordance to wat my relatives said, i've double confirmed it. ugh. i really need to shed some pounds else i'll turn into 200POUNDS BEAUTY SOON! hahahaa...

and once again, time flieeeeeeeesssssss when one is hvg fun. its sat alreayd, how fast. 2 more days and im back to sch, back to wk with nthg to look fwd to,damnit. and theres the mass comma party which im so nt lookg fwd to, so not thrilled. and i tot of giving it a miss. ohwells we'll see how it goes tmr.

i jus play 1 round of mahjong and here i am just back from it and they are laughing at me! ahhh. paiseh can. u all laojiao i only new bird, amateur hor. tsk!! bleah. and i gotta wait til ma finish mahjoning with cousins til ard 3 then dad come pick us.bleah. tired.. i wanna zzzzzzzz.

til then, u babes cont to have lotsa fun during this festive season! rem take gd care of health too! tata~! (:

hey babes, an advanced Happy Chinese New Year!

and oh, wenjun, if u happen to see this, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY GIRL! am so sorry it slipped my mind. i really did want to wish u, but kinda tied up and just didnt remember. perhaps alzhemier came a little too early. haha. still, i hope u had a blast with yr loved ones, which i think u did, esp the lorries yeah? hee. take care and have a blessed CNY girl, and lets meet up soon!!! i promise i wil plan ok hehs.

bestie and i colored our hair. i dont like mine and she doesnt like hers. hahaha. wth. was a bad move. but heck la! just for the fun for it. and we always have such great psychic powers that its scary. in same color combi yet again! ahjek. hahaaa.

wheeee, am so happy, nthg can spoil my mood i hope. happy cny once again! (:

and 1 week later, here i am, giving a little update, we didnt so much screw the presentatn as we thot we'd did! God is amazing, cos He gave us a surprise, we got a DISTINCTION! wheee. tho others had HD, but im thankful enough!

and i got a DISTINCTION for my 1st module, PR Practice & Writing! woohoo!! first mod and this is my grade, im hairpeeee~! what a great kickstart to sch n 2008! (: cannot be any happier. and after submittg my remaining assignments tonight, im officially a free bird!! break for 2 wks! yay! happieeeeeee..and so i can enjoy my CNY in peace. thumbs up! but its only tues, and work is a bore! but gonna head to chinatown tmr so am lookg fwd!

.loves

took leave ytd to rush proj for presentation. and boo, i screwed it big time. sigh. not all our stuff was postmodern, and i feel we seriously lacked substance. boo. sigh. and all she said was 'interesting'. how sad. perhaps we shdve pay more attention during class. sort of anticipated it already. cos til the 11th hour, even right before our presentation, i couldnt convince myself which part of the ppt was postmodern. and some parts were pretty out of point. arghh. damnit! bleah. was so sad. but at least for indiv assignmt i gt a distinction tho its jus upon a meagre 5mks. but i went home, and had sm yummy food and boy, that washed my blues away! wheee. had few mouthfuls of daddy's beef horfun, ate a hard boiled egg, had a few mouthfuls of tiramisu and truffle choc cake! was yummy!!! choc sure is therapeutic eh. and i was satisfied, and no longer upset. wakakaka~!

and sch's over! and i can have my 3wks break fr sch! whooohoo~! can now look fwd to CNY w/o having any worries. but of cos wil have to complete my remaining assignmts.

sigh. i hate it when im feelg green. cant help it. imagine being in a foreign land with yr loved one for 6mths, living life on the edge. damnit. why's God so unfair? sigh. why do bad things happen to good people, and why do good things happen to bad people? don't i even deserve smthg small? like a little trip across town? sigh.sobs.

twinnieeeeeeeeeee im sooooooooooooooo fkinggggg envious of the pixie and elf. esp aft i read her blog. sigh! hate it. ):

i am so silly. gt my new phone, changed SIM card last time to fiddle with it. then when i change bk SIM card to old phone, i forgot to change the time to 24hour format! damnit! and so i woke up at 7.47, and had to take a cab to work. bleah. luckily nt too exp, 9bucks. but still, i can feel the heartache. the acceleration of my heartbeat was like the taxi fare. madness. ):

there's classes today! dread it. only gonna reveal assignmt today and then submit and present on saturday. how am i gonna cope! sigh. its so freaking scary.

and i miss twinnie! she has been gone like since forever. but actually its jus a week ago. still, i miss her! boo. BUT, SHE'S CMG HOME TOMORROW! wheee. thankfully. supposedly nxt tues, but thankfully God made it possible for her to cm home soon. poor girl. my heart goes out to her.

had a relaxing night ytd, shiok! hadnt been able to watch so much tv with a night. hehs. think i watch from like 7-12, with shower breaks in btw. i really enjoyed American Idol7! super hilarious that i literally LOL. highly entertaining.

met up with sj n eve last sunday night. i appreciate them for being the same after all these years. simply true and genuine. unlike superficial ones. was a gd meet up with lotsa updates la kopi times. and i gt flowers for them! rose for eve and gerbera for sj! wheee. am i sweet or what, kakaka...

anw, conclusion: i am so dreading sch! sobs. BUT consolation is that the best friend will be home real SOON! (: then it'll be off to mustafa, makan, movies, shopping and fellowship times!

last post dated 7jan. this is what school does to me. deprive me of my beauty sleep. cos of the dumb reading logs i have to do everyday. sians. this week has been a super busy one! and there's another week of battle i have to fight. ugh. God gimme strength pls.

module's reading media texts. its quite interesting in a way, get to watch really morbid videos each lesson, the blue velvet, damsels be damned, kylie minogue, desperate housewives etc etc! interesting, but at the same time difficult to understand. all the really technical jargons, semiology, blah blah. sounds greek to me.

sch fees in cmg soon according to fel. like feb. sigh then i wil only have left 1 more cheque. then i dunno what wil happen aft that. but i trust that God will provide. and i really hope He will provide. sigh. pls pray for me gals. thks.

that aside, its amazing how God places frens in our life. so much happened in sch lately. with the new girl in the clique. spark off a series of bitchfits, sm rather sarcastic but i choose not to let it bother me. its like, HELLO, we're all friends right? plus its jus the beginning of sch, what makes u think we gonna like stick forever? wake up pls. anw, the gal is a christian, and i can see how we click better than with the rest. oh wells. i dont know la. whatever it is, im jus gonna commit it all to God. whoever He wants to put in my life. just that am pissed with this new intrusion of sm other girl when doing assignmt. its like she jus appeared of no where cos she gt no grp. apparently she already ask my grp mate and they said yes. nv even ask me. but sigh, i think i shd just be more big hearted and acceptable of others. afterall, if i cant even love others ard me, how can i even love God whom i've nv seen, right?

anw, theres lotsa cheem work to be done, dreading it! worst of all i have a individual presentation to do. sigh. imagine presenting to the whole class of say, 56? madness. im already shaking when presenting as a grp. now alone. i'll probably jus spasms and collapse on the floor. hais. arghhhh. shall nt think abt it since its not here yet.

had my beauty sleep today aft i came home fr classes. 6.30-9.30. feels great! its sunday. blessed sunday girls.

and i will catch YOU on the 18th! wheee~!

the best friend's leaving town for indo once again, while im reduce to a poor state here. but nevertheless, ive learnt we need to let go, cos only by then can we learn to be independent. sm training ground before either gets attach. maybe nt me. wahaha.

i hate to say this over and over again but i really hate monday mornings! pui. and the thought of sch makes it even worse. 2 weeks of hell again, rushing proj n assignmt. i really cannot wait for it to be over. bleah.

but weekend was great. potluck party on sat night for the jan babies as well as elf n pixie's farewell. im jealous cos they get to go sweden for 6mths. and they even get to go to jerusalem! how cool is that man. sigh. why do i nv ever get such gd deals? bleah. and they get to tour ard europe too. its so unfair! pfftt. sigh. grass on the other side is always greener. guess i'll just have to try to complain less. party wasnt as bad as hw i expected it to be. jus that sm guest were abit redundant.gross. still, i had a gd time karaoking! sing til we went hoarse in the throat. wakaka! i promise u we'll go kbox smtime soon k babe! cheeryup!

went for dinna/supper, had dimsum near mustafa, aft which we went to mustafa my all time fav hang out place! gt a maternity dress which is soooo chio! wahha. again yes. im so fat that i can fit into a maternity dress. i love it, albeit it being a hefty 30buckeroo.s hehs. then ytd we got the hooded vest in towel material in shocking pink and sky blue! so v pretty, different and cute! hehs. need to curb my retail therapy, save money and go on a holi!

on the other note, papa is jobless. pls pray that he will find job soon! cos my ma seems rather sad and worried abt it, but all he does at home is watch tv and eat oranges. haaha so v random.

i only look fwd to CNY nw, its the only thing thats egging me on! blessed week ahead! (:

today is Friday. and Friday makes Abia one happy girl! tho its gonna be short-lived. still, im relieved. cos from nxt wk onwards, its gonna be a long stretch of nightmares week! sigh. the best friend will be gg off again. just back for 2 weeks and off she goes again. it is so saddening, really it is. i wish she didn't have to go. no more confidante for the nxt few weeks. the worse thing is she doesn't even know when she will be back. sigh. hate it! sobs.

and sch is startg nxt wk, and theres where the other set of nightmare will begin. getting all tired, frenzy and all. sobs. and theres no one around to share my woes. damnit. sigh. i hate the new year already!

and im so tired with all the happenings in church. i guess its really time to quit stjames and move on to othr churches where i can grow, where true love is manifested. the scenes at sjccc are plain ugly. i don't even know where to begin. its so saddening to see how everyone shirks responsibility and turn the table around. im so very disgusted. sigh. even the ones above who're supp to be gd role models are living a life of the opposite. there is no confidentiality, no respect, nothing. feel like im just hanging on cos of the responsiblities in the worship team. its becmg a duty, a routine. yes, im ashame. but i cant help it. sigh. time to move on.

Happy 2008! This marks the first post ever in 2008. just thot it might be gd to pen down some thoughts here with regards to the past yr.

2007 came, gone, all in a whizzz.

Throughout this year, I've gain some, lose some. Significant changes were inevitable.

Wealth and health have been gd, by God's grace, tho if i could lose some pounds, that will be fab. Though i didnt work much, God has been providing me, am really thankful for that.

Studies and work were ok. Sch started a little shaky, but am glad i managed to get settled down, but i shall not dwell too much in it, cos only a fraction of my time is spent in sch. which is gd, means i get to spend more time with other loves. Work, ohwells, only had a proper job at the last qtr of the yr. and it was really God-given. Seeing that i didnt enjoy myself at Ducktours, He granted me smthg which i had nv asked for.

Best aspects in my life has got to be my family and friends. they make my world. the spontaneous, fun and ever-loving pops have been awesome for these 21 years, and i thank God for even their love for each other. and also always being so berserk, bonkers, eccentric and lame!

For friends, i've gained quite a bit. manage to build better relationships with much more ppl. tho i had some unhappy moments, i've learnt to let go and let God.(i hope) Had tremendous amount of fun with the best friend, not forgetting my churchmates. Tho r/s might turn cold with others, still, im thankful and i hope God will bring us closer in His time.

I guess being 21 ain't too easy. but God has sure open my eyes to see beyond what my human mind can comprehend. and thank God for granting me such a great gf, who has nv failed to be ard me at all times of life. i really wonder what i'll do without her. we've been great companions, going almost everywhere together, and almost all the time. and for being ard me when i went thru super tough times, helpg me call the bank, protectg me fr sunny, sigh. i can nv thank u enough. but i do hope im nt hindering u fr building r/s with others ok.! don't worry i stil love my 138 wahaha. Anyhows, sorry babe, for now u are stuck with me. hehs.

all that aside, spent the first day of new yr with bestie n her family (jus a while). haha then we went shopping! wheeee. i loveeee shopping! gt a mango shirt for bk-up singing, and a top fr cotton on! all super gd deals! wheee. best deal was my bundle pack fr spotlight! they had so many things inside, and was gg for a song at only 6buckeroos! all the arty farty stuff! and i love diaso too! we got some really pretty cards which looks super chinoserie chic! shall take a pic and post it. i love it. too bad dorothy soo wouldn't let me get another one. perhaps i shall go back there secretly! whoohoo. shhhhh. then we caught Lust, Caution. my first R21 show. and it ended at 12:30am! madness. am so thankful for my loving daddy who came to fetch us home! (:

great start to a brand new year, am awaiting and looking forward to all that is to come! May the good God bless all of u sweeties, have a fruitful and fulfilling 2008~!

Christmas came and gone, action-packed! all over much to my relief. somehow Christmas just dont seemed as happy as ever. perhaps people do change, we grow up, and what seems like friends forever have diminished. reduced to mere acquaintance?

did our wrappings for the gifts til the wee hours of dawn. barely catch enough 40winks and had to wake up for svc. and sleepg late last night didnt help much either. woke up with puffyeyes and triple eyelids. madness.

carolling on the eve was great. i totally immersed myself into the spirit, and the ability to sing those beautiful carols to the residents just made it even more special. tho it was pretty short, it was also sweet too. i just hope and pray that more will come to know Him.

had a bad start on the Christmas morning. i actually allowed a small issue to screw up my day. just cos we forgot to bring a bag of presents to church. sigh. but thankfully the best fren managed to pull me back tog, so that i will stop sulking and stop allowing all the anger, sadness reside in me. and i really do apprec it. cos i know when i get frenzied, angst, its often the ones ard me who really suffers.

started svc, so many screw-ups. the projector wasnt wking til 1130.madness. then sudd the keyboard goes wiry. but thankfully many did respond during the altar call. that was nice. spent the afternoon playing with thadd n louisa. cute toddlers.! i likeee* hehs. then went for super late luncheon with the best fren at sakae to satisfy our cravings! then was jalaning, and then home sweet home. mayb nt so sweet, cos i end up hvg puffyeyes.boo. i hate mornings! hate gg to wk too. sucks! bleah. wish i had a longer break.

i wanna leave on a jetplane now. right now. to sm place where u can find me no longer! haha. right. just gimme a little break pls and cut me some slack, and be my nice santa and buy me a air-tic. tq. (:

its wednesday, till then~!

and byebye. im gg home.

twinnie has been gone for a week to be exact. and i sure miss her! perhaps we've clung on too tightly, and so now that she aint ard, smthing seems to be missing! and just being in the church office w/o her seems weird. my lunch kaki, bitchfit sessions kaki, retail therapy kaki, phone kaki, my everything kaki! sigh. and there's stil 13 days before she is back. soooo long. HAIS. but still, God has been so good and faithful.

the way He got His angels to surrond me and keep me co. God answered yr prayers twinnie!hehs. even before she departed sgp, i've already bumped into ppl whom i nv thot i'd see. hehs. and how eug told grace he wanted them to sit with me, which is what they've nt done before! they didnt even know twin aint in town. hehs. and r/s with classmates are getting much better, at least i gt to know em better! and actually havg a christmas party. woohoo. sch doesnt suck that much anymore, smore the dreaded presentn has come to an end! freedom after tonight's test and nxt wk's proj submission!

sigh. this year end has been a busy one for me, first time ever that i dont have time to get christmas pressies. oh dear. and the fact that i dont like to get things which everyone has seen before adds on the my agony! want to make smthg nice, but ive gt no time! and no ideas. boo. dieded. but shant let such blur the vision and real meaning of Xmas.

its sunday, and i've fallen into a deep slumber of depression. and the songs playing on gold90 makes me even sadder. sobs. smhw i can't help but feel sorry for myself. cos there will nv be a day where im the one whos off for a holi. but its ok, ive resign myself to fate.

its just me myself and i to brave the storm for the nxt two weeks. cos God seems really far away. sigh. i wonder how im gonna survive.

im so freaking bored at work. eyes are soooo heavy, anytime soon i'll doze off. skipped class ytd for a break n a haircut, look like a chinadoll now with a concave fringe.ugh. its friday, but sats gonna be a bloody longgg day from 9-5. hate it! grrrr. i wouldnt mind if lecturer's ravi or sm interesting fella but definitely nt this stephen gaunson guy!boo. anw this was type in the morn, now its almost knock off time. managed to pia finish the more impt wk. phew. else cant make in time for tonight.

on another note, the bestfriend is gonna be away from the 3rd til idunnowhen. sobs. lucky ass who gets to go jetset while im stuck in this miserable rut, having to balance job and sucky sch. my life's a mess. sigh. when isit ever my turn to go for a holi?! sobs. i hate wallowing in self pity but i cant help it. hais.

and adding on to my misery is the stupid ibank transaction thingy. they havent fucking gt back to us like since ytd . shit u for cheating my money. shites. bugger off! f.

its sat tmr and i gt yucky lessons.bleah. ): ive got nothing to look fwd to all wkend. and bestie has to go attend a wedding on sunday. mayb thaddeus will make me happy. i dont know. but i got a feeling he will.

ciao.

ok, im not trying to be cynical, or cold-blooded. there has been the recent big hoo-ha abt the misfortunate event of the 5 dragonboaters.what i cannot understand is the numerous no. of ppl being so upset about it when they aren't even related to them in anw. just like the princess di phenomenon. reminded me of the show"money no enough" whereby these few sisters wept buckets when they heard abt demise of princess di, and when their mother died, they couldnt even be bothered about it. mayb its just me being skeptical. smhw i feel that everyone seems to want a piece of it. being involved. attending their wake. signing on memoirs. whatever. i deem it as nt entirely genuine.

makes me wonder if it happened to a relative/whatsoever, would u be as bothered? sigh. this is so confusing. call me heartless, whatever. i don't care. but i'll sure cherish those ard me. i shall try.

and i shall skip class today and go for a hair cut. wheee. and tgif soon. sucks to have lesson on sat tho.sigh.

school has started and i was in much anticipation of it, only to be dismayed by a monotonous, uninteresting, ho hum lecturer. to think i have such high expectations of angmoh, but this guy makes me sleep. bah! the way he delivers is impossible. hypnotizing. and only this grp of girls in front are entertaining him. i thought young angmohs might be u know, engaging but i was wrong! So i started toying with rocher wrappers on the table, making hair extensions, making dummy ones which is seemingly real for mates. haha. funny shit. but yeah, thats what keeping me gg. dreading class on thurs and sat already. sigh. Am so not looking forward to it. deprive me of my beauty sleep and time i get to spend with loved ones. bleah.

on another note, went to watch my dad perf at sm singing competition. and i sure laugh my head off over his silly antics, nt forgetting all those farnie stuff that happened. the super unpolished emcees, the aunties with the blings and bk cracks instead of cleavage cracks(cos the dress were too tight), and some really impossible singers. ROFL. followed by supper with 2 unknown strangers, well frens of pops and they sent the twinie and i home. had supper with them and it was way beyond awkward. but they were rather nice la. cept that they make me feel a little small.poof.

on another note, i can hardly pry my eyes open in the morning. cant keep them fr closing. ugh. hate mornings! and ps. i dreamt of the stupid elf and the stupid pixie again.sigh. what does it mean if i keep dreaming of ppl i don't like? sigh.

22 november 2007

my mind was in a whirlpool. i was tired: physically, mentally and emotionally. somehow i feel God likes to play jokes on me. i don't know why either. some people try so hard getting things that were never meant to be theirs, some dont have to try and it just appear to their doorstep.

was reading my text for theories of comm and persuasion, saw this theory by this Bourdieu guy. and i kinda thot it ties in nicely. Quote"value is placed on products according to their social status, as well as cost and scarcity....Individuals and groups identify each other and their social positioning according to their taste, including their taste in music and clothing styles... people are not born with superior or inferior tastes in cultural products; rather, the economic system of capitalism requires disctinctions in order to operate.

the other fella critical of Bourdieu is good too. He, Baudrillard, in fact begins from a rather different perspective to that of Bourdieu. For him, contemporary culture is a deluge of signs, symbols and images. Quotes"the Princess Di phenomenon, the killings at Columbine, the love affairs of Leonardo DiCaprio-all are constituted through a new televisual culture, a new reality, a hyperreality, which has no substance and no fixed form. This hyperreality creates new forms of stimulation, new forms of arousal and demand, new forms of erratic consumption. The product becomes intensely sexualized, often through the deployment of a young female body - but this arousal is a stimulation and can never be satisfied.The consumer is prompted to act and consume; however, the deluge of images and signs is unending and the urge to consume is never consummated, never quite complete.

In Baudrillard's terms, therefore, the sign overtakes the product as the primary source of arousal and action. Because it is nothing more than a sign, a powerfully sexualized sign, the consumer can never escape its abstraction. The proliferation of signs continues to stimulate.The BMW is sexually imaged and motivates some form of consumption - if not the car, then something else. But ultimately, there is nothing there. the sign is vacant, leading merely to another sign, another amorphous arousal, another vacuous avatar.... EVERYTHING IS AN IMITATION OF AN IMITATION - A SIMULACRA."

sorry if this is too much to digest for a friday, just some food for thought... thought it all makes sense. so duh can, then why the hell am i always so caught up in the rat race? ugh.life's a contradictory.

weekend came, and gone all in a whizzz! didnt even get to enjoy it cos of the proj. many thanks to help fr demin, i think i need to acknowledge her in the reference, as well as attribute to her. hehs. so glad its done and over with, and at least i can rest for a wk before beginning on another battle which wil last me 2 weeks! madness.



work is so sianing. totally dread hvg to wake up at 7plus in the morn. i so abhor mornings! if only nights will last forever. on another note, the pops are nt in town, over to our neighbour for some unwinding. wish i was there, sigh... so gotta seek refuge at the bestie's plc. who has been really nice and make me feel so welcome as usual. but i gotta cm outta the shell and nt be so frightened of the pops. and sista.

RIGHT, IT WAS YAKI(YUCKY). gross man. i really think i cant click with sm of them. fancy gg to such places for lunch. if it was nt for the bday girl, i'd have violently objected! but i have to say churning the ice cream was fun tho i totally suck at it. boo. then went for some retail therapy before mtg the bestie.

strangely dev symptoms of gastric flu - self diagnosed. and had diarrhoea like 5 times within 5hrs. gross. so had to skip church. which felt oddly dubious. and watching teevee when the rest were worshipping God made me felt smthg funny inside me stir. ohwells. but had a gd rest at home. and i miraculously recovered the following day, which was today. God is amazing man.woots. He knew i'd promised to go wk at cuzzies place so He sustained me. thank u God.

temping there is gd. cos of gd money. 8.5/hr w/o cpf. hopefully it wil be for long, then i can kick ducktours away. hiaks. but job is mundane.but peeps are extremely nice. mayb cos im my cuzzie's cuzzie.

anw, the weathers so bloody hot nowadays its driving me barmy, making me pekchek! hate it. rains of blessing pls! till then. loves

pops nagged again abt so many things today. but primary issue is the job. sigh. asked me to change job since ducktours only require me to wk on so little days. sigh. i guess they wil probably be happier if they see me less. prob rejoicing if i have to do ot etc. like HELLO. im really not taking alot of money from you am i. the money u gave me will prob be used to buy 2 dresses by smone else. fuck. smtimes u sound as tho u give me like 3 thousand a month or smthg. hais. its so saddening la.

classes tonight. dont really dread it now. jus gonna go with an open heart n learn new things. have been chatting to classmates online and its amazing the kind of things they let me in. telling me abt family issues. wah. i seriously am taken aback. guess its a gd way to start things. weird thing is these peeps aint even in my clique. HAHA. ohwells. God wks in funny ways smtimes i reckon.

now i really hope nhb wil ring me bk n ask me down for an intv. sigh. then again. im really confused. perhaps i gotta go find a full time job or smthg. kinda regretted nt gg down for intv for internship at project smitten.

too late for regrets.

school is getting better i guess. God is stil nice to me. tho i dont deserve it. i've decided to do the proj with them. thot i shd prob not outcast myself. so there. mayb i'll just volunteer to compile it or smthg.

another marked exercise today. bleah. asked us to write our goals for public relations writing, what we hope to accomplish blah. have been eons since i last wrote smthg proper. ugh. i really think my angmoh cannot. eeks. and so i crapped saying i hope to be a public relations writer for FJ Benjamin! haha paiseh, i 'borrowed' yr ideal wk place twinnie. wahhaa. and say in order to get the scoops and all i have to read more fashion mags, blah. sigh. hope i can get a credit and above for it man. tho i think not. cos my writing is like shit = many diff pieces. HAHA.

today i managed to make more frens, and also exchange emails n nos. and all. things are probably picking up. i really hope it will. sucky part is that ive gotta craft a news release over the weekend! eeks.

actually lessons are quite interesting, i kinda enjoy it. and ive got farnie classmates who smell a little strange with their endless silly questions. i pray that things wil get better and better pls!

then had dinna with pops aft lesson n daddy send us home. awwww. so sweeeeeet.

per se: twinnie babe. i know u are going thru a rough period at this pt of time. but hang in there ok. God sees yr heart and i am so positive that He'll forgive us as long as we are willing to repent. it may seem bleak at the moment, but perk yrself up, it wil all be over soon. the rainbow will be out to embrace us, and from there shall we start anew.
*looking forward to our mtg tmr for i miss u so much! hugs & love.

my heart is pounding. any moment and it will explode. ahhh fuck. not like i dont have enough worries of my own. mediocre as it may seem to be. smtimes i wish i wasnt the one who fired it all. but then again, i'd nv have imagined such to happen. im so hating all these shit! fuck. i jus feel like dying. sobs.

why cant things be easier for me. sobs. i nv wanted much. jus small little things. or even for u to be happy with me. my heart is literally throbbing. so much pain in it. perhaps i am asking too much. perhaps its all too far-fetched. or mayb theres so much which i havent perceive it to be.

and i stil get jitters before gg for classes. really hate the process of makign new frens. its so gross and fake and smelly. and i really wanna do the assignmt alone, yet am afraid that nxt time when i need projmates, others will already form their own teams. sigh. why cant God make it easier for me. why do i have to go thru all these shit. sobs.

why do stars fall down from the sky
everytime you walk by?
just like me, they long to be
close to you.

God is faithful. and im really thankful how He has pulled me thru the past few days. to begin with, first day at sch sucked. i was late n so jus sat down along the aisle with sm girl. and i didnt exactly have much chance to mingle ard la, so i felt really friendless. sigh. was a depressing start. PR writing seems pretty tough. and work on wed was nt getting any better. cos familiar ppl weren't ard, but i gt 2 malays and 1 extremely quiet guy. sigh. hate tt freaking combi. and they made me take over a counter. like HELLO its only my 2nd day, and they seemed to expect me to rem everythg so clearly. bullcraps. then made me stay til the last duck came bk. like wth lor. the 1st day there, others were all so nice to me, and i even managed to knock off super early. but sigh. i sure hope i dont get that disgusting combi again. *cross fingers*. to top it off, my phone was cut off, no access to calling/smsing cos of delay in paymt of bill. that made me even more upset. was in tears when i rang twin up using the public phone. but thankfully i was able to use it aft an hr. and twin came to visit me cos she was mtg her friend there. then she lingered ard til i knock off n have dinna tog. sweet. then went for my mtg in church and she came to pick me up to send me home to take things n bk to her plc again.

then before i went back aft wk on wed, ppl fr office asked me to be on the kermee bus the whole day on thurs cos apparently there was some shoot going on, and i jus need to sit ard and make sure they dont do anythg stupid. so i went, thank God i called the captain, else he would have missed me cos they bloody didnt told him i was cmg along. anw i was redundant la. they were shootg a commercial to be aired in India. long story la. but quite interesting. tho i hate the fact that the peeps there were 99% guys. eeks. smore either ahbangs/nehnehs. so there. but adored the fact that i didnt have to be at counter! but then again, i really do get satisfaction when tourists smile at me, or even seemed really grateful for the info provided and all. haha. ohwells. what a contradictory. anw, went off to sch really early, like an hr early. haha. and i made new friends! wheee. i feel so much happier n relieved nw man. phew.

have been helping twinnie with the publicity thingy using macromedia. first time! and im so proud of myself for the little bit of poster done! but its making us pull all our hair out. ugh. can be quite frustrating man.

and tmr's the mid-autumn celeb thingy in church. hope the ktv doesnt screw up pls God. and that the balloon can be blown. (and burst too.HAHA.)

blessed wkend ahead~!

first day at ducktours last thurs. nice peeps there. but still feel pretty much lonely tho there was a new intern with me. prob takes time to settle down and mix in. so there. almost got myself screwed when we miscalculated and forgot to charge for 6 tics! thank God we managed to get the person. else habis. anw, job scope's pretty fun. haha. required to do boarding, meaning use the mic n asking them to gather and watch a 5min video before boarding the duck, then bringing them out to the duck, then tearing off the tic stubs. haha. slack! but just started training for the sales of tickets. guess i dont like that too much. haha scary! and then i had a nice surprise from bestie! she came with her mama. oops.paiseh. and she brought me mangopassionfruit from starbucks! so sweet. hee. muacks.

then i cut my hair on fri. bohoho. guess i dont like it. too much on the sides makes my face look fat.! ugh.nvm. hope it will grow out soon.

sat was spent at church for prac then over to suntec for bike fest. went down with twin, thinking mei wil be alone but alas! eug was there. haiya. nvm. its good to do nice at times.

sunday was good! had lunch aft svc then went to vivo for mini retail therapy at daiso! hee. then we caught evan almighty which was NICEEEEE N FARNIEEEE. hehhehes. then over to clarke for riverside indonesian food...! then we walked ard, and took many silly piccas. loved the day!
hope theres more to come with babe. cos it feels like a long time since we last hung out so freely. cos there was the chinatrip, the funeral.. so there. more happy times pls babe! (:

theres classes tmr! first class! ugh.s cary again. haiyo. new frens, new projmates. hope God'll grant me with nice peeps man.

work on wed n thurs. think i shd prolly get another job. any lobangs pls tell me, thanks!

shit happens because its a shitty day. sigh. first the hairdresser, then the pops, then the internship then the bloody jeans.skunk. __ anw i gt a job. so hopefully that will make YOU happy. i will jolly well get anothr since its part time. no worries, i will work v hard to support myself. and its work day tmr. meaning i must be up at 7. sigh. the thought of it is sianing enough. ohwells. do i have a choice? guess i dont. but am just thankful enough for a job. but already fretting what i shd do during lunchtime. sobs. sigh.

i need to cut my hair desperately. cos the locks are so long, its making me feel super HOT as in PERSPIRINGLY HOT. grrrr. and chris is missing. hw nice. ahhhh. guess its contributing to the temper these days. darn.

sigh. im feeling super down today. huai4 liao1.tsktsktsk. i hate myself for being in self-denial, self-deluding all the time. i always think that things will happen that way but it always turn out the other. sigh. i really oughta snap out of it. perhaps i mean nothing after all. and mayb when i reach enlightenment, things like this will nv bother me again and i wil be a free, spirited soul. yes i will be.

i hope the embark of a brand new day ahead will bring me surprises filled with lotsa love from above. God gimme strength, wisdom too pls. thank uuu.

woohoo! the best friend is back! and we met ytd tho for a short time. adored the company. too bad she had to leave early. then this morn she was supp to acc for an intv, and go chop our hair. but rec the devastating news that her grandpa passed away. sigh. life is fragile aint it. dear if u see this, cheerie up ok, he is in a much better place now. (: and so... i had to go for intv alone! contemplated nt gg but i went anw. and thank God it was ok, tho she did asked me qns which i hadnt thot of. but anw, she say i might get the job, hehs, gonna wait for her call on sunday, and which she says i wil hv to go down for anth chitchat with her. mann i really do hope to get the job, if its according to God's plans! customer relations officer for ducktours! sounds fun already. wheee. job scope seems pretty fun too, according to her that is. just that smtimes we do get sucky customers. whatever it is, im gonna pray for His plans to reveal to me! and then took bus back, passed by substance and it was closed! got a bad feeling the shop's GONE. cos i called the plc, and the number was nt in use. sure hope i can get Chris, else i will be quite sad, no one to handle my locks. boo.

meeting jess n liz tmr. sigh. dunno what to expect also. smtimes the convo can get pretty DUH. cos they seemed to enjoy talking abt bfs and all. i mean HELLO there is much more to life right? haha perhaps i am eating sour grapes, i dunno. but like what twin says, ppl who need a bf/gf are selfish, which to a certain extent i think its true. no offence yeah.

anw, gtget outta here. blessed wkend babes.

hi. im back! with a bang. carnival on satty was a-okay. it could have been much better if fatty was around. but nvm, cos the best friend is coming back today! wheee. thats the only thing keeping me happy.boy do i miss her! sweet girl always sneaking calls every night w/o fail when her dad is in the shower. just like what twinnie said in the mail, >> in sg when we cld talk to each other at ease, we simply take advantage and perhaps reluctant to raise a topic or talk much. but i figured just nw, when we know we hav such short time, we shoot. fr this i know we do treasure each other<< man. so true.

back to carnival, reached at 12, left at 3.. dominated by whole of eng congre, feel like an aboriginal there, wakaka! bought smthg for bestie, a bag for myself, dont even know why i buy it, and mei gt a bag too. all at the bazaar. thank God managed to borrow a cam fr shazzie so can snap piccas for the bestie to see! reached there and saw HAY getting dunked.. there were the game stalls, food stalls, a mini e-zone rented playarea with a tunnel slide and lotsa colorful balls. smwhat like playarea at ikea, and also this airblown thing where kids get to jump and tumble around in. then little thaddeus gt glitter tattoos on, he was elated! didnt want to leave his chair, wanted another one done on his hand. haha CUTE. walked ard with gracie, then mag.. mama's stall was selling donuts. was selling like hot cakes. ppl buy them by the boxes! but i thot it wasnt anythg compared to krispy kreme. haha. fad i presume.

still on the lookout for jobs. today i sent 3. hopefully i get the ducktours one. seems pretty interesting. but quite disheartening nt to hear fr any so far. ugh.

bestie surprised me yet AGAIN! that sweet pea dropped me a huge ass letter in my mailbox on the night before she left. the silly girl scribbled pages of notes using the sweet dot paper from daiso in the car, put it in a huge brown envelop and pop it into my mailbox! heehee. i was grinning from ear to ear when i saw it on the table ytd. love her!

she called from PRC last night using her papas phone when he was in the shower! i was so happy to hear her voice. man. i really miss her. tho it has been just 1 day. and then she started to fill me in on details of the plc, what her dad n the uncle n auntie wants her to do there. stay in the fact, manage it, fly bk on weekends, blah blah... and i started sobbing. and even aft she hung up i was stil sobbing. sigh. i dont want her to go over there to work! its so unfair!!! sigh. and knowing this girl, this very nice girl, i know she will now turn it down, cos of fear of them nt able to find a trustworthy/known person to do the job. sigh. i wish God wil come and turn the situation around. i really hate the fact that they are deciding everythg for her!its nt fair. sigh. sobs. wish they will put their selves in her shoes and nt be so selfish! argghhh. hate them. right nw i just want her to come back to singapore. grrrr.

after weeks of living life in a frenzied state, im thankful to say it has finally come to a halt. and God has been faithful all these while, showing me how much people around me care n love, im truly touched and i can never thank God enough. esp my pops and the best friend who stood by me, and helped me so so much. (:

enrolment on tues, boringg. yawns. many seemed to be in cliques already. kinda worried abt first day of sch nw. mayb i'll bring bestie along if shes free, haha. read thru sm lecture notes, gonna do PR Practice and Writing. know i'm gg to love it, thought i aint gonna excel or anythg. right nw i just wanna put in my 100% and get a degree with distinction to make my pops proud! but eh i think kinda far-fetched. haha. it also meaans time for a job. no calls from the resumes i send, kinda disheartening, but then again, i sent so few, whats there to complain!

went to sentosa the past sunday with bestie! we had so much fun tog. was so spontaneous. caught songs of the sea, smwhat like musical fountain, cept this time we had to pay! but there were sm firewks too, lovely. caught 3 movies since beginning of aug til nw, 881, Hairspray and Ratatouille! all are nice, esp the latter! man, i really enjoyed every bit of it, the animation was fantastic, and it brought in the romantic scent of Paris, whoa, i felt as tho i was a part of the show! haha. dont mind catching a second time shd smone sponsor me. hehs. so girls, go catch it!!! great storyline too, teaches us never to give up! (((((:

bestie left for PRC this noon. boo. the moment she left, my dad scolded me.sigh. all cause of my mama's quarrel with brother ytd, then my mama complained to my dad, then my dad see my room so messy and all, so he attacked me. boo. but luckily he stopped after fixing my bed. btw i got a spanking new bed! wheee. queen size.nt brand new, from my mama's fren. she shifted, so i got a new bed! wheeee. now i can roll around like a spring roll! haha. happieeeeee.

church fundraising carnival on sat. i aint the least bit excited. perhaps like what bestie said, cos i can go, and it doesnt seem like such a big deal. if i were the one who couldnt go, i might feel the pinch of sadness too! ohwells. promise i'll get u smthg k twinnie! cheerie up, u'll be back soon and we'll go chop off our hair tog! am missing u as im typing this. awwww. anw, theres gonna be a dunking machine too, guess Nick will surely get dunked, since he's a humongous roly-poly!

i need to go pack my room, make it neat, so that the folks wil be pleased with me! cha~!

spent over a week at the besties place. mostly out in the evenings. to the movies, to church for mtgs, to mustafa etc. this week was bullcraps for us. but thank God we managed to pull thru in a way or another. must really thank babes for helping me make endless calls to the bank (cos useless me am scared), to the sch, for acc me all the time, and for the super sweet and giving gesture of wanting to make payment for 1st term of sch. a whopping 3343. yup. she is that nice. willing to let go of it and let me have it. and i say God will bless her abundantly for her love. if u happen to see this, thanks twin, for the endless treats - meals, movies, and always helping me pay for things! what'd i do w/o u man. can nv thank u enough dorothy sooooo!

right nw, pls pray that the bank will help me and get me the cheque by monday!!! ugh. else orientations on tues, and i will be like a retarded lost sheep, or even miss the opportunity of sch. so there, pls say a short prayer if u happen to see this,thanks a million! (:

wept buckets endless times this week, and i really hope it will come to and end, cos its worryin the shit outta me with 2 sides pressing. but my pops were really nice. help me make calls and even went down to bank to screw the guy. poor guy. none of his biz but yet had to clear the shit of the fatty ng.jerk. useless, irresponsible. hate him. grrrr.

today i sent 5 resumes - marketing comm assistant, event coordinator, drama instructor, program instructor and casting coordinator. hope i will get calls or smthg. if thats what God has in mind for me. hehs.

gg for rebounder at trinity tmr! wheee. excited.

do you love me because i am beautiful? or am i beautiful because you love me?

happened to chance on this tag smwhere, and i thought it made perfect sense.
- NEVER LIE TO A LIAR.

smtimes i really dont know what i am doing at all.

sch matters cannot get anymore complicated.

wat a poor fuck. u u uuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

i wanna let go and let live. free me.

the best friend is right beside me reading her book. dont know what is so enchanting/captivating abt that book that just so draw her away to another planet altogether. haha. funny chap.

trinity on sat for power weekend, was a miracle/healing svc. hmmm, smwhat nt quite what we expect it to be, but nevertheless it was cool. hehs. i just like the atmosphere there, its so God-filled. smhw i jus can never have the same experience in stjames. sigh. i ponder upon a sign of escapism from the harsh facts of reality. but i have no one to blame, cos i know i play a part in it too. SIGH. wish God'd do smthg. then again, i think He has been wking, but His children havent beeen. so there. takes 2 to clap right. hais.

twinnie's in sm deep shit(in a way or so). wish i can help her but what i can offer is mere company. where are u God? why does it seem to me that u are so distant? ...

know im very much in need of a job, but once again, im running away. and im using sch as a facade. i need to help myself. damn.

managed to get a letter fr bank to sch to stall time. im so thankful. to God. to twinnie, to my parents. twinnie was so nice to help me call the chua guy. and even gt all flustered up cos of their inefficiency. ohwells, im am truly grateful to her, cos if i were to call, nothing will ever be done. sigh.im useless. much contrary to my size, i am but sheep in pig's clothings.poof. nw i just cross fingers and pray that the loan will be processed and that they wil get bk to me!

gt news that my atm lect passed away on tues.. sigh. so sad can. heart attack in the staffrm. and he was only 51. ohwells, nt too young or old.but the fact that he left so sudden surely made me stop to ponder about this life. so fragile as it may seem. sigh. smtimes i really qns the reason for existence. of cos we all know that gg to heaven is a wonderful thing but death itself it frightening enough. cant stand the thought of my loved ones departing, tho i know smday it will happen, or perhaps i will be on my way much sooner. sigh.

bestie did this for the natday straits time bestfrens contest! didnt win, but the gesture is heartwarming enough. (:

as the song goes... sad movies, always make me cry.

cept that it aint sad movies, its the sickening thing abt sch. sigh. supp to submit sm doc bk to sch to secure my placemt, but due to sm uncertainties, i have to give them a letter to assure abt the loan shit, and all by tmr! so last min. screwed.and i just called the bank and apparently they havent got my bros name in the system at all. and the guy who attended to us is on leave til like fri or smthg. fuck. i knew it was nv gg to be easy. but i never knew it was gonna be so diff either. ugh. and asking my bro to do things can be bloodcurdling cos dad jus called him and i guess he shook him off the phone in a pekchek tone again.sigh. if only i need not depend on him. sigh. nw everybodys nt feeling too happy. sigh. fuck. why do i always bring unhappiness everywhr i go God? why cant u just make it easier for me..? is that too much to ask of?

it hasnt been an easy week. tho on the surface i appear to be happy and all. underlying it, you'll never know. cos u are not me. still rem vividly the day i wept buckets at tpy. no idea what had gotten over me, but the tears kept streaming down my face. ugly sight i know but i couldnt help it. lasted for an hr or so. sigh. smtimes i wish i wasnt so emo. i wish u would stop, and comforted me. cos at that pt of time it was impossible for me to take in any word u said. so any little thought would have triggered the spilling tears.

if i knew things were ever gonna get so complicated with sch, i'd have aborted the idea. but yet they were the ones who enc me to pursue my studies further. yes i know with a degree, i would definitely be put in a better stead, but what does it guarantee me? a life of happiness? a man who loves me by my side everynow and then? hmmm. everything seems so vague and bleak. in life we need to pause momentarily before proceeding elsewhere yeah? it is never easy to take the step of faith. to walk into a path where you dont even know if there's a way out? sigh.

i know jolly well its my fault for not wking all these while, nt helping to provide for myself. then again, how big a sum have i asked from u all these while? am i like those girls who indulge in brands, always wanting to outdo others? or have i even cavort with boys? or have i ever asked for smthg which i know i will never be given? i havent. all these while i can only see and be filled with envy upon what others have and i didnt. grass is always greener at the other side. yes, that i know very well. and of cos i have so many things to be thankful about. but i just wish u'll learn the fact that afterall, i am but a human being. i have my wants, and also my weaknesses. sigh.

anw, i wonder about the existence of this post. meaningless as it may seem. but at least i feel much better.

albeit still upset.

6th august marks the saddest day of my life in 07. (til now that is) period.

i really feel like eating this now. how ah?

ndp preview was awesome! had sucha great time watching all the perf. tho i must say smhw the place hinders spontaneity and interaction, but the firewks, drills etc sure escalate to a higher level. fireworks were so near, feel as tho we can reach out our hands and touch them! haha. was really busy snapping pictures away. anw, was glad that i had the chance to go! hehs. goody bag's getting better each yr, more n more stuff. was amazed by this mini fan which spin out the words - happy bday singapore when it was switched on. haha.suaku.

sunday svc was horrible for me. screwed up during the last song, so hot tears keep spilling out once i sat down. thanks twin who saw it and comfort me and all. just feel so rotten that i told myself i will nv play again. sigh. wonder why such things have to happen. ugh. just wanna get over it and move on.

they went to KL with the elf n pigsy,even took the train. cant help but having this tinge of jealousy. it used to be us, but things turn out so ugly and different now. guess friends will never belong to us anw. saddening as it is, we have to MOVE ON! and get over it. HAHA.

1 mini escapade on wednite. picked the chair fr church and went all the way to serangoon to return it to the Lees.. then we went over to chompchomp for a late dinna but the place was kinda dirty n fattimah said she saw her fren, so we thot we had better nt settle down there.. ended up at this yums dimsum place at little india. good grub they have there! haha. salivating. another supper hang-out place. then over to my fav plc mustafa! haha got a couple of balloons and sm farting bomb. looks cute. i love mustafa! there are always so many great finds and cheap thrills there, albeit the nehnehs.

another mini escapade ytd nite. went over to ikea tampines, and the plc was humongous! but prior to that i had to squirm a lil in the car cos there was a mr minicock and i had to kill it before the woman beside me go ballistic! so i prayed to God that i'll be able to rid it with one swipe, and i did it! wheee. was so happy. but had to wait til she park the car and get out before i can tell her. haha. anws, ikea was so huge. the cafe was huge too, and i like the tall tables and chairs we sat on! and we can self scoop the mushroom soup. yums. had our usual fare of meatballs and wings. we were the last customer, and it was darn funny seeing my dear friend chew off her drumstick. cos she usually takes a much longer time to eat than me! haha. the cleaner even ask us to clear our own trays cos she says everybody gg home already. wth.turn out then when we were at the check-out area, there were still many ppl browsing for products. kena cheated! alamak, if we knew it we wouldnt have congcongmangmang. then went over to changi village to check bapoks out but to our despair, there werent any! so we decided to go home where we stop by changi beach park. sat on the swings, played on the see-saw, gazing at the planes hovering above us. mann i wish i could jus go travel to sm angmoh countries. yes, im really deprived of it. sigh. nvm. anw, i would like to relish those moments again soon pls! hehhehs. anw,the sight of the plane taking off is really mesmerizing, like what she said - a new hope arising? haha.. anw, those beautiful sights are so captured in my heart! oh yeah, we saw couples hanky pank too! my fren said the woman was near naked! hahaa wth, but the couple actually brought blanket to cover them as they lie on the platform. gross! wonder what they were doing. then our last stop was at the infamous ecp carpark where all the couples will hankpank in the car! haha. but there was condensation on the car windows so we couldnt see a thing! haha. smtimes i think we are really too free eh?lol. anw, there seems to be this silent rule we all have to abide, is unspoken, everybody there had the same ethic, that is nt to on any headlights or buttlights of the car when entering and leaving the carpark! CONSPICUOUS! wahaha..

then it was home sweet home~!

been gloomy these days, really nice to be sleeping in. but i woke early! and the stupid electricity keeps tripping and i had to switch it on a million times. GRRRR. anw, its the ndp preview tmr and i am soooooooooooo juiced up/thrilled/zingy/zippy/elated/gay/ stirred/charged about it! WOOHOO~!!! haha. ok im nuts. smtimes its gd to be able to feel happy. cos things always seem bleak for me. then again, im nt gonna let anyone/anytg get me down. not for this weekend!

cha~!

pics we took the other day over at imm.

just sent another 2 resume, one for the fashion intern, the other assistant producer. but then again, im rather skeptical abt it. saw advert for sandwich artist, thot it might be fun to wk at subway, but it requires me to clean up! eeks. anw, the dateline's a long way to go, so i'd better attend to other stuff first. sch's stuff drivingme up the wall. guess i will never ever know what i want. sigh. hw i wish everythg is decided for.

on another note, i am so tired by the entire affair, and i told myself that i would get angry no longer, for there seems to be no end to it. so there, will pick ourselves up and cont to be angels! wheee. and im sure GOD has it all mapped out in His time.

ndp preview this sat is making me so bloody excited! really looking forward to it, but im still sending in smses, in hope to win the tics for the real stuff. haha GREED i know. but if i really do get it, i'll sure give the preview tics to others! hehs.

the taliban issue sure is depressing. i really pray that those in captives will be set free for all were doing work for God. sigh. have no idea how to pray for such issues too. ohwells.

have a good day my frens~!

2 weeks of church hopping makes me open my eyes, brought me to a whole new world. so much out there i havent seen and touch. and i can only thank God for the opportunities. 1 sunday at st johns chapel, the other at trinity. i can say i really do enjoy it at trinity. seeing the huge masses worshipping God, being so filled with love, filled with God's spirit. sigh. i just nv once see that at st james. and people are so scheming. the thought of it just makes me shudder. sigh. to think they even give us names behind our backs for so long. and we were so nice, always around to help whenever they asked. well, theres a limit to one's tolerance, and once u've pass the line, thats it! im plotting a sweet revenge. hee. but perhaps i might not do it ultimately, cos im still nice, unlike u.

you two are simply gross, disgusting, ugly, foul, have evil hearts, and all u want to do is to get more power and to pull others to yr side. so much of yr smartness have gone to waste, cos all u do all day is to email others to get back at them. but u are so stupid. u forget that God is watching. sigh. what can i say. im hating u guys so much so much. but im glad at least ppl knows abt all u guys have been doing. and im so glad we are still thorns in yr flesh. at least we still pose as a threat to u. so there, as long as we're around, you can forget about getting yr asses to the top. fuck u my dears, and i really hope u get yr just desserts soon. ugly pigsy and stupid eff. ROARS.who the FUCK are u to label us?
bugger off u nehnehs. __

visited wj the other day at the hosp, her face was kinda swollen. quite scary. she was in pain i guess, super tired too. apparently she cant fall asleep in the hosp. anw, wil pray for speedy recovery!

had been out pretty often lately, enjoying co of my fattytwin, june, pea n wj too. its good to meet up with the girls aft sucha long time. and thnk God for fatty, at least we can curse and swear at them tog. else i think i'd have died of angst, depression or gone into pig spasms. no worries k twin, im pretty sure God has His plans for all that happened. as long as we do what we are supp to do and remain as the pretty angels, all will be fine! cos we are angels, in and out~! (:

twinnie im so sorry abt all that happened! nv meant to make u so sad. heres a really heartfelt apology from me. cant wait to see u tmr! hugs.

S - O - R - R - Y - !

finally the musical's over and i can only heave a sigh of relief. cannot be any happier! thru this few weeks, i've seen really ugly sides of the human race, thus stirring up a strong hatred towards them. i was really taken aback by how selfish people can be. not lifting a finger to help and yet have the cheek to go have lunch when the rest of the youths are all busy clearing up the place. what can i say, birds of a feather flock together. man, how true. but at least my conscience is clear, and i have no fear in my heart. it just portray how low, gross, repulsive and wicked u can get.sigh. so disappointing. how can the church ever ever grow under such terrible leaders? anw, am glad our mamas are singing in the same tune as us. guess God will see our heart and reward us accordingly. so i'm going to get too mad over the biasness or unfairness no longer. cos i dont want to be like them. PUIIIII...

twin, cindy n i acc my mentee to retrieve his wallet at clementi interchange on sunday. and boy am i glad and happy we went, cos i feel that we are very NICE PEOPLE!! haha. and i really thank God that it was there. cos we were all kinda tensed n kanchiong. lol. then had late lunch at mcs tog, great time of bonding and fellowshipping! had so much fun discussing all the funny school stuff. it proves that age shdnt be a issue or barrier to anythg. cos theres a 15, a 17, a 21, and a 27! hahaha~! another cosmopolitant group! another break through! wheeee i lurveeee it! happy ending to a infuriated beginning!

blogsurfing aint doing much good to me cos others always seem to lead much more colorful lives than me! and it saddens me. sigh. but guess twin's right, colorful or not is not to be determined by others but by oneself. shall not allow myself to wallow in self pity! hehhehs. ohwells. i do like my life. just that its really aimless now and i am not doing anythg about it. ugh.. smtimes i feel so guilty but yet i refuse to face reality. sigh. hope i'll wake up soon and that it wont be too late.

am looking forward to ndp preview now! the only thing thats keeping me sane. haha. i know im impossible, but hell to that!

and i finally made the choice, went down to sim to register for mc. am just waiting for the results. and if i dont get it this time, i honestly have no idea what to do next. feeling alittle detach from my parents nowadays. perhaps im just guilty each time i see them, for not wking since a long time ago, and always asking money from em. sigh. wish i wasnt such a lazybone.

voice is almost back, but still coughing. do hope i will recover soon. being ill sure make a person feel lousy. on top of that, there had to be much frustration and anger over certain issues. smtimes i wish i could take a hold on myself, and stop letting my emotions ride over me. ugh. i need to calm down. just hope 777 wil quickly come and go. had enough of it.

the tooth issue is coming back to me once again. sigh. everytime i look at it,i get this worried pang in my heart. what if it suddenly drop off? what am i to do? but i cant bear with the idea of going thru the whole process again, the numerous trips to the dentist, the amount of money to be paid.sigh. i know i cant avoid the problem for long. and all i do is to pray for a miracle to happen. wish i didnt had such issues plaguing me. sobs. and my gums are extremely week. just a harder brush and it'll bleed. not a lot tho but still am bothered.

sometimes i really wonder whats the reason for our existence? what does it bring?

birthday surp at during missions// uber cute chloe~!

my sweet peas & all the tea-light candles surp for me & me only!

3 weeks overdue from church camp haha

had been busying ourselves with the making of props for 777. lots of fun, not to forget tire! hmmm. now that most of it are done, i feel much happier. doing all the props sure drain energy off one.. then there were the rehearsals, which was rather badly done. they didnt prep well, and the date is drawing near. what can i say? ohwells. and sm parts of the story are such a contradictory. guess the ppl who wrote them had the liberty to plot it in sucha manner. just found it strange. but to em, it might be a chance to proclaim to all that they are dating and might tie the knot soon? who knows? haha.

was over at the zoo with twinnie last thurs since she had the car. and we had so much fun. the elephants were extremely cute can! and we saw them poop like 2 times! right before our eyes. hehs. and thank God the weather was gd the whole time, tho there was a lil drizzle, but all was ok. the constrictors were scary. yucks. i hate snakes!! the animals shows were superb, all really entertaining esp the elephants of asia show! ahha...too bad we had too little time there, else we could have seen more.but nevertheless i definitely enjoyed the trip. company was awesome. hehs.

then sunday night the devastating news came, mama's eldest brother passed away in KL, so we took a coach on monday morn and got back yesterday. it wasnt a too sad affair la. did lotsa catching up, lotsa laughing too. am glad i went. cos managed to say hi to many many peeps.and i really do appreciate their hospitality. people there are so much warmer than over here in sgp. i could see so much love. makes me feel guilty for the way i treat my brother. but then i bot gum back for him. haha. feast alot over there too. food was really yummy, i ate so much so fast that i burnt my throat, thus making the journey back to sgp hell for me. was convulsing in the bus, feeling super cold, goosebumps coming out etc. had indigestion, felt super bloated and head was throbbing and i felt so rotten. anw, im just glad to be home. tho i wont mind gg there smtime soon. 1 day was too short to do anythg.

now im deliberating if i shd sign up for mass comm at sim. sigh. wonder when i can ever get down to deciding what i want. all ppl tell me is to seek God and all. but i nv seem to be getting any answer. sigh.

thot i shd upload some pictures to make my blog more interesting. ohwells, perhaps just a visual feast for myself each time i log in instead of the melancholic grey. not that im nt sad enough. haha. send in resume for wardrobe officer at MediaCorp Studios. but doubt i will get any calls. boo.

my 21st photos still in others' hands. i wish they will send it to me soon. GRRRR. anw. i got a package from australia from eve n celest! so schweet can. was a pair of roxy flipflops and a balenciaga lookalike. hahhaaaa. am using it today! so sweet. not the the other 2. totally heartlessss. bleah.
