as we get to meet more people everyday, we're exposed to the different backgrounds of each individual. its damn interesting cos then you wont feel that you'll the only person in the world facing certain stuff. im quite amazed that guys over the age of thirty have got certain traits (: so anyhow, looks can be generally deceiving. you really need to get to know someone better by communicating, hanging out, and gossping! lol. but its somehow contradicting to know that a filial person can go around sleeping with other people.

like for example, you care alot of your mum (who's having cancer - i totally understand what you're going through now) and your family. your dad passed away like 20 odd years ago, your bro is overseas, your sis is hardly home. so that makes you the only person available to clean the house, work, and look after your mum. i was pretty optimistic about the kind of person you were, until you told me the other side of the story.

you slept with all your girlfs and cheated on all but two of them. other than that, you went clubbing and slept with more girls. all of them classified as 'genuine attractions' or 'crushes that have gone too far'. just that you met them at a bad timing - you were attached. but i always believe in karma, it was true. the girls all left you one by one.

but your latest girl is pretty young. hot babe in her early twenties. the relationship is bad. cos you told me you still 'love' her, but not 'in love' with her anymore ): shit you. and you cant break up with her cos you still want her and you're sleeping with her. gees. selfish jerk. you're bad.

and yes, what i think of you? honestly i have already told you my answer.

a bad man.

but you dont steal, rob, kill, or do any other unlawful crap (except accidentally smuggling ciggs!) so i guess that still leaves you with some goodness. HA HA.

and omg. you just confessed!

its just a crush only..

right?

right??

ok bye, off to do my tutorials.

{me & weemeng continued to chat about uni stuff for a long time}

WM: "oh really ah. too bad i miss her more than you do."

=.=

reef

jay

on AL - rick, marcus, wan
too bad i didnt get to see you! :/

last but not least, the only person who spoil my happy day - the big boss, aka manager. dumbass! i have been sitting in front of you for the past 6 months and you mistook me for her daughter! roars. thats an INSULT.

*

"who is she? an existing staff? or..?"

after explaning my identity...

"oh no wonder you look familiar. and the only reason why im asking is bcos our staff are not allowed to wear shorts you know. so i was just checking. i dont want people to come up to me and ask - how come she can wear shorts i cant - these sort of questions. so ya, no shorts allowed in the office actually."

me: "k sorry."

*

WTF i wasnt even sorry. luckily the receptionists now all recognise me. go dig for a bone in an egg then, go on.

*
lunched at 1010, my craving for spicy dumpling noodles! superrr nice (: talks about school & work and everything else in between. love!

bus-ed 151 to school. 60 mins bus ride made my butt hurt. its so weird. my butt aches from bus rides (soft seats) but not from train rides (hard seats). its really weird.

AT SCHOOL,

was late cos i cant locate the tutorial room. very gan ga..

i entered the room and the tutor said "oh, you must be siowqin!"

"sorry, yeh.." i muttered.

joined the group that i was pre-assigned to. luckily they are all nice girls (: and had our first presentation -.- i was totally blur. didnt know what was going on. but the format was very much similar to poly - we just had to present tutorial answers to the class and explain, so it was pretty ok (:

after the class, everyone was like talking & introducing & exchanging numbers.

when it came to me, they said "oh, you're siowqin. very famous already.."

HA HA HA. thanks huh. late comer = famous :/

rushed to next tutorial and was asked to carry out an experiment -.- there were 6 of us. stand in front of the class and pretend to be production workers. we were analysing the Law of Dimishing Returns. i think its quite an interesting way to learn (: i was the least productive worker having the lowest marginal production. HA HA HA!

ok the day ended happy! yay!

i waited and it came. i thought history was going to repeat itself like it did on that day. phew, it didnt. im happy, really very. happy to tell you all the tales and listen to what you had to say. you still dont get it but nevermind. hahaha. dumbness love!

photos! not many though..

to-be-recruit Lim

group shots(something's wrong with my cam lenses. argh.)

botak boy!

my sweetie sis ^^
heh. i love it so much i put it as my wallpaper (:

images heavily photoshopped. okay, post shall abruptly end here (:

i think i need some motivation to start studying!

*

bro sent me this song and told me that it was sang by some unknown person but its very very nice. totally agree. and then i realised it was by lovynn kan. i told my bro i know her but he doesnt believe me ):

correct me if im wrong, but this lovynn should be the same haising lovynn right? the girl who sang at some teachers day celebration and stunned the school. its her.. right?

it should be her right. i even dig out the yearbook to double check.

and realised that there were rumours all over the net that:
x she's dead
x she committed suicide
x she wrote this for her boyf (who's dead)
x she got cancer
x blah, blah..

anyway i think its not important la. i just know that this song is nice (: enjoy! spread the love.

today is the first time i went out of thr arts canteen for lunch ever since school started (not counting the times during poly la). supposed to meet laura & kathy but laura went with her friend instead. lunched at science canteen. superrr long queue. and i was late for my first tutorial.

partly bcos of lunch. partly bcos of the rain. partly bcos i cant find the room. hahaha.

oh btw thankyou kathy for "sending" me to tutorial. i promise i will treat you lunch next week. lalala.

my tutorial class is full of boys! omg. and we had to form teams. luckily i knew shijie. and teamed up with him & alaric. our case study is on FAA - i have no idea whats that!

and so happen that alaric is in my following lecture too. yay! and met this other guy (i forgot the name).

quick, make more friends!

oh, and textbooks are stupid. they are expensive; they are heavy. i hate them! roars.

*
let all conversations end happy ok?
(:
im not sad. i just miss you.
*

i finally met up with bestest peisi & aimee! love simple dinner and a good girlie chat (:

school has been treating me ok. beginning to fall in love with Economics. lectures are getting more challenging, which is a good sign, i think. my English Professor has been ever so entertaining, although things are getting a little more technical. Nation Building has had the most boring lectures. but thank goodness for kathy & laura & glenn & shijie. at least i can talk while the prof is talking. heh. both E-Commerce & Information Systems are stupid computing modules. i was too dumb and bidded for them.

*
*
argh.. i miss you!

omg. why???

-------------------------------------------------------

{EDIT}
tutorials start this week. im all get set, ready to go as a full-fledged student. its just my books & me. haha. kidding. im not a nerd. anyway i have found a great mugging spot - central library! cant be compared with SB library (smell of books & crowded with everybody). central library is wide & spacious with plenty of tables & chairs. good place for taking a nap too (:

oh btw, fireworks display here! superrr pretty can :D

not sure if it was meant to be? love the egg & ham.)

sis meh's fav diced apples.)

(max's plate. you can tell right?? all the greens. hahaha.)

grilled pacific dory. slightly seasoned and served with tatare sauce.
(not bad. but the rice tasted like dumpling rice. erks.)

CHICKEN: a japanese creation of tender chicken breast,
garnished with grilled pineapple ring and glazed with teriyaki sauce.

to end off,

fruits are just fruits, no review needed la. haha. but the ice cream is nice! partly bcos we added lots of peanuts. choose from vanilla, chocolate or combination. top off with peanuts, colourful rice or chocolate chips. add chocolate, strawberry or caramel sauce. delight!

yay. finally the meet up with thirteen. but we really should have a chalet to spend more time with each other. heh.

organiser sis noi didnt turn up due to diarrhea. same with sis ting ):
rynel didnt turn up due to jet lag.
joel didnt turn up due to girlf.

so it was left with the eight of us. sis jo came! *surprise!

met up with sis meh slightly earlier to buy sis jo's bday gift. superr pretty laptop sleeve and a card. max joined shortly after.

the whole thing is just damn pretty and damn suitable for jo can. i love it so much i want one for me! the pictures dont do justice to the product. i want, i want, i want... but its so ex!

have got so much catching up to do with you sis! we'll meet soon ok. love love love you! :D

dinner at suntec sizzlers. the waiter didnt allow us to enter till 50% of the people arrived. wth! he happily just left the table empty and rather us not go in and have a seat. poor service!

lousy attitude. he kept chasing us to confirm no. of pax arriving. hello?! we are already making phone calls.

everyone arrived at about 7plus (: good to see ya'll!

appetisers made us all full already. luckily main course was a small portion. food review soon :D yay. to-be-recruit Lim was super high. he missed max the most. and he acts crazy when he's with us. poor sis meh & sharon had to endure his nonsense.

e.g. waiter asked "what would you like to have?"
to-be-recruit Lim replied "same as yesterday.."

OMG -.-

the waiter looked stunned. gan ga can!! dumb dumb Lim.

i'll leave details of the dinner for my food review ^^

lots of catching up done.. especially for recruit Koh (botak boy - really look like convict :P) who told us lots of army tales. very interesting stories.

to-be-recruit Lim is super enthu about NS and cant wait to be enlisted. he warned the girls not to fall for him when he book out. he happily assumed army would turn him into a handsome lad. HA HA!

quick updates:
me - NUS undergraduate, Econs major.
meh - OL, forgot the company name.
sharon - same as above (:
wanteng - OL, the shipping company (?)
jo - SIM undergraduate, Accounts.
zirong - can barely wait for enlistment.
max - recruit Koh, botak boy.
chunhwee - working, the motor company (?)

*

all full and happy, we heard the fireworks go boom, boom, boom. caught a glimpse of the last 30 seconds of display. always pretty (:

recruit Koh somehow suffered from over-eat while we went to some ulu area to pose for photoshoot. camera shy - not many pictures.. bleh.

*

sis jo left. while waiting for wanteng, we went to this place with pretty chairs. just nice to sit in a circle. talked alot alot alot. about the past, the future. tales of our lives & all. i love thirteen! (:

wanteng & bro arrived. more photoshoot. heh.

*

surprise surprise! we bumped into joel & girlf at citylink mall. to-be-recruit Lim was shouting damn loud (like 2,000 decibels) i think everyone at citylink could hear him :/

all of us turned around and i was like thinking "what's that green boy that zirong is hugging?? someone from lecture? or...?"

as we inched closer, joel's face came to light!

EXCITED!! :D

girlf pretty can ^^

he said "sorry i didnt answer your call. with my girlf.. but very happy to see you all la."

i said "bluff.."

HA HA HA HA HA!

yeps, we're just fated to meet each other that night. happy. shocked. crazy.

*

ok im off to do my readings. tutorials start next week. its already week THREE - gasp.

p/s. wonder why it keeps raining.

p/p/s. wonder why there are so many mosquito bites.

bro's recommendation to watch CASHBACK. too arty for me. couldnt really understand the film. dont get the story. and there were plenty of nude scenes in it. and i mean plenty. haha.


decided to watch THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY too. not that im very free, but had the urge to watch films (: this one's nice!


ok finally my timetable. im still in the midst of doing some swapping but i guess there's a 99% possibility i wont get it my way. heck.


right, so i dont have my 4-day week anymore. yep, guess you're right (: why do i need an off day when i have Saturday and Sunday. shall be contented.. life aint perfect!

alrighttt, thirteen later on! yay ^_______________^

hadnt realise the excitement of olympics till i watched the table tennis matches. jiawei is quite pretty and i love her bright pink top! :D


kept commenting to myself throughout the game. bro said "oei! you obsessed with ping pong or what?!"

hahaha. no la. i just find it superrr exciting to watch.

and since i had nothing better to do, i watch the finals as well.


world number one. damn damn good (:

did some of my readings today (finally!) and revision for econs. bro said "is it necessary?? why you so pia?"

:/ i dont know. readings and all arent examinable - i suppose. but they arent call 'readings' for nothing either right. i feel relieved if i complete them (:

tmr is THE DAY! i miss meh noi ting sharon wanteng & the boys (both botak & non-botak)

LOVE! *^^*

people make mistakes, but i make silly ones. im so very sorry. i know what i did or said cannot be undone. im acting like a matured adult. we cant ignore it. all i can say is that im really sorry. sorry for making you worried. i just needed some fresh air, some breathing space.. im fine now (: i am. love you.

my timetable is almost confirmed. sucky one though. will post it up once im done (:

and i have given a second thought about signing up for a CCA. uni academic workload is overwhelming, even though im barely 2 weeks into school. five modules, hundreds of forum threads, thousands of textbooks pages, a million readings is enough. take a deep breath..

yippee max called! haha. not that im excited about it but bcos i havent heard from him in a longgg time. i cant wait for SATURDAY!

have decided to give my CS team building a miss. was initially super on about it but i reckon thirteen means so much more ^^



plus i heard there's sweaty activities in the stadium. gosh. dont get me wrong, i love the sun. but im too lazy to shower and get changed before meeting thirteen :D might as well not go. lalala.

happy days are always short-lived. i promised not to cry and i did it. yayness. damn proud of myself can. even though i almost did. asshole how dare you try to provoke me. roars. not the least wild, just tame and stubborn. im going to smile through everyday, just in case you dont have time for me anymore..

balloting sucks! although not as much as bidding, but still...

i dont understand how some people (like jeron's brother) can love the system so much. lucky you got a 3-days week. spread some of luck to me too, please!

i failed to get the modules i want. and with shit modules, i had to deserve lousy tutorial slots. argh bless me!

im going for the online instantaneous swap tmr.

im sorry for being so stubborn dear. i will try to change.. ok i shall drop the try. but i dont remember myself being stubborn leh. probably its something i did not see. i thought stubborn would be the least appropriate word to describe me? span of few days seem like we've been through so much. we both know the facts - its right there. im glad we're not ignoring it (: happy days are short-lived. you're gonna be so damn busy right after the MC is over. by then i hope im not too dependent on you |: thank goodness the doctor says its healing. the op was a success. yay. tender loving care :D

{EDITed}
im doing the online instantaneous swap now and i got this damn bad feeling my timetable will be all screwed up. i dont have a free day anymore!! im putting 2 tutorials on friday. dont ask me why. i was forced to, i.e. i dont have a choice. and im very tempted to self-declare monday as my free day cos there's only one single lecture - economics. i happily wanted to do that when i realised my prof lied! she said there's webcast on the lecture but i cant find it anywhere. so i have to attend monday lectures ): thursday cant be anything better. if i fail at this round, i would have 4 freaking hours break on odd weeks. oh gosh.

maybe i should pick up a CCA to add colours to my uni life? |:

ichiban boshi review

i love it! :D
oh btw i forgot the names of the dishes..

seating beside the conveyor! ^^
nice clean environment but the stool is kinda tall
which isnt a bad thing cos i can swing my legs. ha ha.

GREEN TEA
PEACH PUNCH
some other fruits with peach and sprite i think
first time ordering a beverage
cos i normally drink green tea
CHAWANMUSHI
i love this!!
SUSHI
i forgot whats the ingredients :P
probably some crab or lobster. was ok.
SUSHI
crab meat with mayo. was ok.
BABY OCTOPUS
guess what i have never dared to try this!
but i took abit and it was not bad
sweet sour-ish like appetiser kind (:
SUSHI
scallop on top. i dont eat this.
SUSHI
fresh salmon! i dont eat this too.
one day i will try...
SUSHI
lobster meat with beancurd skin.
i love beancurd skin! :D
SUSHI
omg this is damn nice!!
BBQ eel. nicer than sushi tei :D
SUSHI
eel too but not that nice. there's cheese between the rice.
TERIYAKI CHICKEN
rice set with miso soup. i love the rice!
its quite rare to find delicious jap rice.
but this is super. plus the teriyaki sauce damn good! ^^
CURRY UDON
fried chicken was normal. udon and curry was normal too.
but i love the egg. half cooked :D
CHICKEN
my fav dish! cos you get to cook it yourself :D
if only cooking at home was that easy.
just put in the butter and chicken and veg.
stir to make sure it doesnt burn and youre done!
comes with 3 sauces too..
although im not sure if youre supposed to pour the sauce while cooking,
or dip your chicken in the sauce before eating. i did the latter (:

i think ichiban boshi is good! something like sushi tei. but the ingredients here are really very fresh and tasty. yummy! i wanna go again soon! ^^
