Updates

random updates :

currently devouring dean koontz's the face. yes, good books are meant to be devoured, not read. im hoping i get to finish his other books before i eventually leave.

yes, yes, bangkok next week! wee~ shopping! im kinda like doing up a shopping list, which probably wun do any good since i'll just buy watever that comes my way. hah. but a few must buys - tailored suits, nice cheap fabrics, dressing screen, haversack, and yes wei wei, durian chips -_-ll

been watching d. gray-man on tv and youtube recently. didnt realise wat an effect this anime had on me. i was gg omg-omg-omg-omg-omg in the episode where Daisya encountered Tyki and was eventually killed. OH MY GOD! as strange as this might sound, the emotions it triggered were much more apparent than all dramas i've watched thus far. hmm.. this is pretty weird.

my orthodontist probably thinks im mad by now. besides asking (jokingly of cos) if i could keep the mould of my teeth as souvenir, i let out an uncontrollable giggle while he was taking pictures of my teeth. it was beyond embarrassing i tell you. but as i said, it wasnt in my willpower to suppress the urge to laugh. it was just too funny, seeing the reflection of myself on the lens with my mouth pried open to uncanny proportions. hahaha! but i guess i shd really be more concerned abt my first tooth extraction which will probably take place 2 weeks later. (that's only if i garner enough courage to make an appointment) okay, okkkayy, stop being such a chickenshit already.

Paranoia

PARANOID.

that should really be my middle name.

well, frens who noe me should agree cos i can get quite paranoid at times. save the numerous episodes of doubting and misunderstanding, construing sudden interests as hidden agendas, saturday's incident has got to be the most ridiculous by far.

i was at amk cc for my weekly dressmaking class. my first project is a skirt and its beginning to look like one now. hah. shall blog more abt this when i've completed it. anyway, wat happened was i was the first few who reached, and went to the ladies which was down the corridor in a secluded corner. most of the other classrooms were still empty and as it was 7ish then, the whole level looked abit ominous with the lights still off.

no one was inside the toilet when i entered and while i was inside the cubicle, i heard the door open. now the strange thing was, no one walked past to get to the last cubicle next to mine. nor did i hear the tap running. all i heard was this clicking sound gg rhythmically as if someone is playing with a pen while waiting for something or someone. and the disturbing thing was that i heard no such noise before i heard the door open.

i stood frozen and the first thing that came to mind was that SOMEONE could actually be out there waiting to mug his next unsuspecting victim i.e yours truly. and because im such a paranoid, thank you very much, i was able to foresaw his deceit of knocking out his victims before transporting them in a stolen car to a deserted factory to disembowel them and finally decapitating their heads off as trophies, but not without the signature psychopatic laughter and a thundering storm as backdrop.

-____-llll

i noe i noe, very tvb drama. i've been watching far too much of it lah. but at that very moment, i truly believed that someone was actually out there waiting to pounce on me. there wasnt much i could do without my phone with me, so i remained where i was amid the sweltering heat. my best bet was to wait for someone to walk in or that the mugger will get tired of the wait and leave. but after 5 mins, the heat was getting to me and i tot wat the heck. besides, dying from hyperthermia isnt exactly glam.

so i stepped out and..... nothing.

not even a cockroach was seen. but the door was opened alright. probably the cleaner came in to keep the door open with the door stopper and turned on the fan as well, which explains the clicking sound i heard.

-____-llll

still couldnt believe wat a big bozo i was. told my mum all abt it and she laughed her head off. well, guess i can nv be a police detective.

Shamed

ok, i take back wat i said - that my revulsion of children will cease to exist soon.

but one thing's for sure, the dormant volcano has erupted somehow. and im sorry to say that the lil' one who suffered the wrath is none other than my own niece. :(

to sis - sorry for shouting tiu and slamming the car door shut at your daughter. (i made sure she was clear of the door!)

to mum - sorry for storming off to the bus stop without turning back although i heard you call out to me

to nicole - sorry for my lack of tolerance and understanding of your wilful and bratty behaviour

to myself - you ought to be ashamed of all this over-reaction and reflect much on how a piglet could hold more weight in your niece's heart

sigh. whoever said being someone's ah yi was going to be easy?

Yes, I Know

Yes, yet another post on my dahhling nephew

Yes, I'm terribly, terribly fond of him (if you cun already tell)

Yes, I'm not worried abt how my public display of favoritism will affect my dear niece (Bro, coincidentally, has the same tendency towards his nephew)

Yes, I do believe he'll steal quite alot of hearts with those eyes (why, he already has mine)

Yes, I foresee that my revulsion of children (which has laid dormant for quite awhile) will cease to exist comes the day when he could speak the 2 words

Lil' Dino

"Grrrrr! Grrrrr! Grrrrr!"

If pain has an expiry date....

"If pain has an expiry date, mine has expired."

Yes, wounds heal.

But does grief?

4.26 pm :

Release of results on student portal.


Present status :

Drowning my sorrows in a packet of Arnott's Tim Tams chocolate biscuits. Double Coated.

Treasure... Dug

guess wat i saw last friday when i was out shopping with winnie and jeral.



yes. a gorgeous, GORGEOUS canvas dressing screen printed with the ever lovely Audrey Hepburn. the picture here is only for illustration purpose, the actual one i saw had a diff pic of Audrey. i should have, ought to have, would have bought it had it not been its cost and the lack of space in my room.

damn it.

note to self : costs a hefty $189 and could be found in Takashimaya B1.

edit // i just realised i have $100 taka vouchers. hmmm, should i?

D-Day!!

i was told by a fren that our results will be out by this week.

Oh, the anxiety! the trepidation!

(translated : Oh-My-God! Oh-My-F-ing-God!)

I think i need a cliff, or a (more accessible) window to fling myself off when this fateful day dawns upon me.

Would We?

the other day i was at a job interview where i was applying for a marketing position. i was told that i'll be required to do abit of designing and stuff. so they were asking if i had brought the 'works' i've done. and silly me didnt, of cos. was practically hitting myself on my way back home. and when i got home, the first thing i did was search through my trash for a poster i did for YG magazine and a brochure for CO's recruitment drive. ya i noe it doesnt make much diff now but i jus had to take a look at it. so i managed to find the poster, which made me glad i didnt bring it to the interview cos its quite fugly to be frank. as for the brochure, it was in my antique ibm laptop, which is officially pronounced dead as of today. it jus wun start. seriously, where are things when you really need it??

anyway, i found this book from CO as i was digging my trash. something which we came up with in poly year 1, where all members could write their crap in it. and reading through it brought back much memories. memories of the place, the ppl, the things which we did and that i was ever their "芳少" with 4 姨太s, a 丫鬟, and a housekeeper. i found myself laughing out loud at wat were written, esp an entry written by a particular member who signed off as Aaron Kwok, which drew comments like "KANNA SAI", "大便都不如", "aaron kwok 的脚毛还差不多" ok, maybe it aint that funny, but i laughed so hard i almost teared. i could jus picture jess' expression while saying that, and how MS will be rolling his eyes. hah. i guess those first 2 years hadnt been that easily erasable afterall.

and reading further, i came across a short para written in pencil by a very dear friend.

人生就是这样。。有些事不是说能放就放的。。要忘掉一件事和放下一件事。

是这么难的事，但为何人生就必须要经过呢？

人生就是这样。。今天不知明天事。。

也许你今天看到我。。可能明天不再看到我。。

人生的过程，说长不长，说短不短。。

有些人拥有很长的人生过程。。但有些人却拥有很短的人生过程。。

所以要好好把握你现在所拥有的一切。。。

indeed, some pple dun haf the privilege of seeing the years pass by them. many a times i wonder, how would things be had you not left? would i still be complaining while waiting for you to have lunch together? would you still readily onz me for a game of bball in NP? would we still be meeting up for shopping and movies at bugis junction? and would we ever have the chance to travel overseas and explore new horizons together? ....... would we?

i believe that in our lifetime, we would meet that someone who's destined to change our lives drastically in one way or another. for better or worse. i believe i have met mine. but for better or worse? im not sure.

Cupcakes, anyone?

just one of those days where you wake up and go, "hey i wanna bake sth!"

ok, maybe not. i had the recipe with me for ages, jus that i never got down to doing it. so today, mum and i went and bought the ingredients for baking. for over 40 mini cupcakes, $26 is quite ex. but well, its all in the name of some fun i guess.

having not baked anything since sec sch and with some help from mum, the cakes were not half bad i'd say. And apart from the lack of proper equipment, it really does feel like im back in mrs ong's home econs lesson.

for one, i still feel as flustered and kan chiong as before.

Do I Care?

Seriously, do i look like i care about how u're doing?

//this flu and sore throat is getting on my nerves~ thank god its a public holiday tmr..

List of Most Irksome Individuals You Could Encounter On A Public Bus

Fangz' List Of Most Irksome Individuals You Could Encounter On A Public Bus

1. Bawling children
2. Giggling school girls
3. Individuals who reek of ciggies
4. Couples who get a tad too intimate
5. Individuals who reek of a month's dirty laundry
6. Individuals who tok (read: shout) non-stop on their phone
7. Individuals who coughs and sneezes into the back of your head
8. Individuals who have their music (think techno, incomprehensible rap, etc) on loudspeakers
9. Males who sits with their legs wide apart (i think they are mistakenly trying to equate the distance with their size)
10. Individuals who gives dirty looks to any or all of the above
    

Personally, i think individuals who are guilty of point 10 are making a futile display of their dissatisfaction. Yes, im speaking from experience here.

Next time, i think i should just bring an eye mask, ear plugs and air freshener. In my favourite scent of lavender too.

妳是我的寶貝

Cun find the music video to this song :(
anyway, the beginning of the song is almost the same as one of brandy's song.

No More Mahjong

you noe something's quite wrong when u actually agree with your mum to playing a game of 2-person mahjong. -_-ll

and you noe something's pretty wrong when the forfeit of the game is much more than losing a few chips.

and you noe something's gone terribly wrong when you get a head full of pegs! (17 in total!)

ok, no more mahjong for me.

well, at least for the time being.

I Adore

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

you know its one of those days when u jus dun feel like getting out of the house even if you were paid a million bucks. esp when you had a swim the previous day and on top of that, late nite mahjong. so when mum asked me out to compass point with sis and nicole, my immediate response was a firm no. so while i was laying in bed, all ready to fall aslp, little nicole came up to me and asked again.

nicole : ah yee wan go with us?
me : (half aslp) nono, nicole go with popo and mummy ok? ah yee wan to slp.
nicole : but i need you can?
me : (sighs in resignation) okkaayy....

tell me, how to reject a plea like tt?

Breakfast at Tiffany's

after today, i think i have to reflect much on my citizenship. no, im not considering migration or anything of tt sort. its just that having visited (or rather, passed by) Fort Canning Park and National Museum today with xuefang while searching for the Stamford Garden, i was asking myself "where the heck have i been all this while? this part of spore is pretty awesome!" i think i'll definitely visit this place again soon. anyway, i was at this open air cinema thingy organised by the museum for this.

my second outdoor movie actually. the first was Movies at the Padang last year which was all fun. this time, however, the experience was quite different. apart from the fact that there was no Glenn Ong or FD, nor was the place as big as the Padang (obviously), the ppl who attended were, well, atas. while we had brought along chips and canned drinks, they had bread, fruits and wine. in proper wine glasses. but of cos, u need wine glass for wine don't you? hah.

so they were playing Breakfast at Tiffany's which starred my dahhling Audrey Hepburn. and although i might come across as a fan, the only movie i've watched with her in it before today was My Fair Lady. such a shame i noe. but then again, im glad i didnt cos i get to catch it for the first time on the BIG screen. if you've yet to watch it, pls do so. just her wardrobe alone is well worth your time. anyway, here's some pics taken before and after the show.

hah, who would've known im capable of such act-cute poses. hmm, on second tots, i think the company plays a great deal. :p

Rain Clouds?

will it ever?

***************

i swear i jus had the most horrible nitemare this morning. ok, probably the next most. the most most awful one i ever had was abt this bat flying to me and finding its way to my back and INTO my t-shirt. it was so horrifying i woke up screaming and crying.

anyway, this one i jus had was that i failed 3 of my 4 papers and the marks i got were like 6, 8, 9 and 44.

is tt some scary shit or wat?

//omg. check out today's 4D results.

Jacky Cheung World Tour '07

i think there's a thief in the house. the bloody iron is missing and i cun press my clothes.


great.


ok, so a thief wouldnt have possibly stolen my iron i noe, probably a ghost then.


speaking of ghosts and entities, it would be appropriate to say here that Jacky Cheung is indeed, the HEAVENLY king, the GOD of songs, the GOD of mandarin pop... ok, you get the drift.

so i was at "The Year of Jacky Cheung World Tour '07" concert which lasted for abt 4 hrs. he started off with a couple of heart-pumping cantonese songs which made the crowd go wild, then some mandarin songs from his new album. and then a couple of songs which he composed for his daughters and wife and another couple of songs sung by some other artistes. there was also a short musical from the movie Perhaps Love. it ended off with some of his classic mandarin and cantonese songs from way, way back.


even though the threatricals were really not to my liking;


and even though i should have just bought front seat tickets to let off without feeling awkward. come on, the ppl near me were just sitting there like they were in a cinema watching Pride & Prejudice;


and even, even though i had an uncle sitting next to me who just could not shut up and let me enjoy the songs. i noe tt you jus want to sing along but do you really have to make yourself audible above the blasting music and heaven forbid, Jacky's voice? for Christ's sake, save the singing at a karaoke joint!


so even though all tt happened, Jacky Cheung totally made my day when he belted out 李香兰 in cantonese.


standing there.


rite in front of me.


LIVE.


the experience was simply awesome.


nono, it was BEYOND awesome.


i think i havnt screamed so much since infancy. if the entire concert had been performed in cantonese, i think i could have lost my voice at the end of it. and even though he's 46 and has been singing for 23 years, he hasnt lost tt magic in him.


wat, a *ahem* young girl like me screaming for him says it all.
