Daddy

Driving yesterday was boring, gruelling! I was mastering my directional change, and parking. The parking part was strenuous!! Yeah, but it's good anyway. Just tired, with the early waking up part. I kinda figured out on my way to BBDC, that if i were to be alittle more disciplined, and quit cabbing there 7 times, i'll be able to weasel another lesson out. Haha..Lame, but it makes sense. Yet, i lack the discipline to get up early, or leave home early.

Im having such a huge headache now. Boo! I can't seem to differentiate the difference with migrane, and headache. But i seem to be suffering from 2 kinds of pain recently. One, is the throbbing kind, where you constantly feel that someone's banging your head, and while the other one is more tolerable. i'm still affected by it. It's the kind where it'll hurt when you move your head. It's as though as your brain's gone all lumpy and soft, and it moves around the head. And when it contacts my skull or whatever, it;ll hurt.

I Wonder why?

Flyer's almost done, and im just deciding on when to print. Good news is that, mommy and daddy's decided to postpone our holiday by one more day, meaning that we'll be leaving town on a wednesday, instead of the stipulated tuesday evening. Might be able to get the printer to print it out on time for me after i get the approval of everyone on monday. I hope. *crosses fingers tightly*

I'm supposed to be up early, to meet Zoe, to get the stickers tomorrow. I do hope that i'll be able to wake up in time. After sticker shopping, i'll be down to Sengkang, to visit ye ye. I haven't visited him for quite a while, and i guess it's time. Besides, now that daddy's home, i've got not much of choice either. Then after visiting, we'll go have Father's day dinner + hello daddy dinner.

Daddy just came back on thursday night, hand carrying those precious little orientation tee shirts for the freshies. I was alittle disappointed, upon setting my eyes on them, as they didn't look quite as nice as the Spy academy ones. Boo.

But im grateful that daddy delayed his trip home, just for my tee shirts, to help me save cost, and to ensure that the tees come over in time for the orientation. Daddy's the best. Feel bad to trouble him, but he's been quite set on making me get some deals on my own, even if we're not making $. I wonder why?

I guess there's some reason for us to communicate with each other, while he's in China, so that we wouldn't lose touch? I'm glad that he's left his previous job. He seems more relaxed than the past 2 years. We talk more, and communicate better, though i get more task to do from him, and get woken up to reply his emails during my sleeping hours, im happy with the way our relationship goes.

It's alot better than my juvenile years. He dotes me when i was younger, but things turned ugly in the later part of secondary school life. He was the daddy that told me i'm better off wearing contact lenses, instead of specs, the peace maker between mommy and i when we quarrel and scream at each other.
The daddy who also assured me that i'll look pretty when i grow up, despite my very ugly, thick and manly pair of eyebrows that were sitting on my face. He said to me that when i grow up, i'll be able to shape them nicely, and it wouldn't be that bad anymore. (Beanie had a shock when he saw my secondary school photos. Til now, he wouldn't stop teasing me about my very bushy pair of eyebrows. ) >visualise 2 big fat black catapillars on top of my small beady eyes)

Then daddy became this mean monster, when i entered secondary 3. We were constantly screaming at each other. Makes you wonder...was i the monster, or was he the monster?

Yeah..so all that monstrosity between us caused a huge rift in our relationship and all, being bad enough for me to ignore his presense for 6 months? The cold and aloofness went on over the years.

Yep im glad we stopped being monsters, and made peace. I guess im mostly to be blamed for that rift, but i guess i was just going through a phase. Im sure everyone would, just that im alittle more hot tempered by nature? i Really wouldnt know.

But i guess it's be fun, if i'll be able to pay my past a visit. Who knows, if im famous enough in future, i might decide on making a movie on my life story? hahha. Relieving childhood days seem so fun. A trip down memory lane would definitely be worth it.

La.la..la

I just realised that i've saved my previous entries as a draft, instead of publishing it...so pardon me guys, for the lack of a entry recently.
I woke up early today, for my hair appointment with Sam at 12pm. Was half an hour late, and that idiot didn't do much justice to my hair, taking into considerations of all that favour he owns me.! He merely trimmed alittle...which would be the thinning of my fringe, and to cover my roots with copper. I Hate one color cover ups. It's the cheapest and ugliest form of hair color. It's like an insult. I demand my highlights! I feel like an Auntie with White hair, doing cover ups to cover my white hair. Boo!

Oh well, i'll pay for it the next time. Then, i'll be able to decide on what i want.
Sleepy and all, i trudged my way to Far East, and fell asleep while that new assistant of his painted my hair.

Im now in search of the perfect garden frock/dress. And all that i've managed to catch my eye, seem to be in green. Grrr... i've kind of gotten over my green madness already, so too much green is bad. It encourages enviness and jealousy. I wouldnt wanna bring that upon myself do i?

I want a cute little frock!!

Beanie came down to town after my hair was done with, and we went for Dim Sum at crystal Jade. I was bloated when i left the place!
We went shopping around, for new bottom for my man, coz he's like lacking of a variety of capris or pants in my opinion.
In less than an hour, we managed to get him a linen cream colored drawstring capri, and a vintage wash black berms with multi pockets.
The man was like so attracted to the pockets. 8 of them in total! Whatever would you need so many pockets for?? i can't comprehend. I had quite a time laughing at Beanie's "VPL/VPD" when he tried on the cream colored line capri.

He was wearing the Gap Boxer that i've gotten for him for Christmas, it's a sunny yellow, with navy pumas mid sprinting all over the boxers. So i could so see the visible pantie lines and panties design at his bum bum! Hahah.... But i guess he likes the cutting of the linen capri, so he went ahead with the purchasing of the cream capri.

We left town at about 5pm, and i had a nice surprise! Guess where Beanie brought me to???

It's Sentosa! First he drove around town, gave his car a wash somewhere near Telok Blangah bought us some drinks, then he turned into Sentosa, without telling me. Bleh!
We headed over to the beach, and the sneaky fella even packed the beach mats along.

We sat around, stared at the sea, people walking around, frolicking in the sea blah blah blah...
Took pictures and after sometime, we've decided to move on, coz the ants came along, and i was getting grossed out by ants. Eek!

Took more pictures at the fountain garden, and it's quite a pretty place at night. With the lights and all. I tried to explore the ruins left of the old Fantasy Island, but creeps got the better of me.
Frankly speaking, could anyone actually recall the layout of that place?
From where we were, the Fantasy Island ruins now reminded me of some lost civilisation, where the entire civilisation of their own disappear just like this miraculously...interesting, but scary.

The Tourism people should seriously rethink their Sentosa strategies. It's such a boring place, with Fantasy Island gone, and Asian Village gone, there's practically nothing to do anymore. I wonder why did they even bother advertising Sentosa, claiming that there's a whole lot of new and happening fun over at Sentosa? The most happening thing that i can think of there, would be the Beach bar KM8. Other than that, Urgh.

Tourist Visiting Sentosa must have thought really badly of us then. What boring people we are. No fun rides, nothing. just a bunch of boring people living in an island. Im sure if they wanna visit island, they would have chosen more appropriate places like the carribeans or bali. Definitely not Singapore for Sentosa.

Having lacked enough sleep, im now very very exhausted.
I shall retreat in my smooth comfy rainbow sheets for comfort.! Dreamland, here i come!

*im glad that im no longer suffering from a creative block. I've managed to move on, and came up with some stuff that i think would be pretty cute, but i'm not sure about how everyone would think of it. But til then, dreamland, here i come!

Vvroom!

Ooh...it's a new mid year resolution for me. I've decided to set myself a realistic target, that is to TRY to get my driving liscense by the end of this year. Which is quite a daunting task, considering that my expires on the 22 sept, and it's about the same for my BBDC membership.

I've been constantly going for driving lessons alot, starting with the 7 june at night, then followed by the 10 june, 13 june, 14 june(double lesson today), 15 june, 17june, then 1 july. Hmmm not much actually, but i've been driving consecutively for the past few days... and there's one more tomorrow. Was supposed to be driving on the 21 and the 22 of june, but it's been cancelled coz of the holiday that the family would be taking.

Til now, i've got no idea where i'll be heading to, when daddy comes back, but it's definitely some part of malaysia. Sounds elusive eh? Hahahha


These few days has definitely been busy for me. As for the details of my very full and packed schedule... i can't seem to remember what exactly i've been up to, except that i haven't been getting much sleep. Not enough to be considered fully rested.

But at least i managed to meet up with Selene thrice last week, and managed to squeeze in a shopping and catching up session with selene, dolly, and fangping. We haven't seen each other for a really long time. It's definitely been more than a year, because i do recall seeing dolly and fangping during Selene's 21st birthday in January last year. Woo! it's that long.

There's so much catching up to do, but so little time to spare. I had a dinner at with Beanie, while Dolly had to go off to visit her little nephew, and Fang ping had a dinner date with her Bf as well. Which technically speaking, left Selene alone and with nothing to do.

The perk of the week : I was hanging around town, and this lady came up to me, she identified herself, saying that she's from this charity organisation called AINS or something along there, and she was kinda begging me ( very pathetically, she's slouchy, and it's like she's got no energy left in her, and the effort that she's taking to persuade me to buy the ticket is killing her. I had this feeling that if i gave her the money, the first thing she'll do with it, would be to rush to macdonalds and get herself a cheese burget. Seems to me that she's either acting weak, to gain pity, or she really is desperate for the money to get food. Bascially, i had scammy vibes screaming from her)

i was actually considering if i should purchase this $2 ticket, to help the children in whatever society. Well being kind natured and all, i stopped, and listened, and was actually considering buying the ticket. I just couldn't resist asking nosy questions like : "for the $2 that im actually donating, would all of it go to the charity, or would $0.50 go to the charity, and you get $1.50 of it?" And many dumb related questions...

Just after my questions, this other lady identifying herself from the children's society barged into our conversation, and told me to buy the ticket from her instead, as the other lady is phony and blah blah blah. It's such a cat fight!

Things turned bad, and ironic. Picture this : 2 ladies who're supposed to be volunteers, helping the poor, turned out fighting in front of a potential donor for just 2 bucks! Unbelievable!
conclusion, im not gonna spend money on stuff like this in future, and you guys should take this as a warning as well. Stuff like this, including the NKF ones, are a huge scam.

NKF has like millions of reserve funds, and every year, they're constantly bugging us to donate. They have like alot more money than the 20 of us added together. Selene's granny called the NKF hotline, and it was definitely the $5 hotline. When her bill came, she got charged $10, coz the computer reflected that she's called twice. What's most unbelievable, would be the 2 calls are that she's charged, are being called out at the same time on her Mobile phone. Is that quite possible? After calling up Singtel to enquire, Singtel says that there's nothing wrong, and insist on billing her granny for 2 calls instead of 1.

See it's scammy. How can u be charged for 2 calls being made at the same time?
I'll rather write in a check yearly, donating the lump sum to whatever charity that i fancy. At least i'll be sure that the money wouldn't fall into the wrong hands, and i wouldn't be over charged. Charities nowadays are taking the opportunity to fleece people dry. Such irony, and it's disgusting.

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

I'm currently suffering from this obstruction on the creative side of the brain, as i've got no inspiration on how i'm supposed to start on my "sell the council" Flyers.
It's like, i know im the one who suggested the idea during the meeting, and the only idiot that insist on doing it really...but i guess the main problem, would be that i wasn't receiving the support that i wished i'll get.

I mean, if people simply ain't interested in physically designing the flyers itself, the least they could do, is to tell me simply what kind of style and direction they want me to take on, what kind of objective, style, to sell the council. It's not like it's MY council, but if recruiting new people into the council is top piority, i don't see why i'm getting such a cold response. *rolls eyes*

It's like everything that i envision, seems to be falling apart. There seem to be more trouble and problems rippling on the surface, than i've actually anticipated. Argh! it's frustrating!

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

Now that i've rambled enough, i'll probably would also like to point out that the main reason why i haven't been blogging often, is because, the last time i added an entry in, there seem to be an error. Resulting in a loss of information. Yes all that blogging lost, in just a click, It's RIDICULOUS! Being pissed at the stupid wastful effort. I got alittle too carried away with my little boycotting, to realise that i'll either have to withdraw from blogging, or carry on blogging. I can't just leave it hanging.

So while im still deciding.. Ya guys can read on about my perky little life. About all the "GReat" things that happened to me, and all things bright and beautiful. Hee.

Generally, Life ain't as bad as what i've complaint. It's just an inborn reflex in me, to rattle about the shitty stuff that falls on me, and forget to gush about the pretty things that happens to me. Im thankless i guess??

Just in case you guys think im such a brat, i'll add beautiful and boring life scenes in just to please the crowd.

I had dinner at Spageddies on Saturday, went shopping in town recently, went to watch Mr and Mrs Smith on my 14th month anniversary with beanie on monday. And i'm very much addicted to the Channel 8's daily dose of 7pm show.
I had fun with the driving simulator today, and it was pretty much like an arcade game.

I love the huge zit that's sitting on my face, and it takes forever to go away, and lastly, im glad i passed!

Thank You Eric!

oh and before i hit onto my bed with pretty rainbow sheets,
i'll like to thank Eric, for Lemmings!
Yay! i enjoyed playing it yesterday... it's like a childhood memory! I had lots of fun blasting those green haired, blue bodied little things, as well as saving them dumblings with an yippee!
Hurray to Eric!

shopping!

Bleahh! I Woke up early today for an Editorial Photoshoot at Clementi. I was all dressed up in my little bro's white polo tee ( we had a strict dresscode to adhere to, and i've got no white or black polo tee of my own to boast of. Hee ) The editorial team met under Yunwei's block, and when everyone has arrived, We trudged our way into this little forest, with railway tracks and all! it's quite cool! I mean nature and all..except for the swamp of mosquitoes. The mosquitoes there kinda reminded me of the population in China.

We spent the entire evening looking for a good location to take our pictures, and finally decided on this not so cool place under a flyover.
Taking the pictures was like fun. If only there was someone documenting all our conversations and actions. You know, behind the scene footage... Like while we were killing time, we were pretty kept up with moving around, to escape the never ending mob of mosquitoes. From jogging and marching on the spot, to an attempt with taiji while the guys were scouting around for the perfect spot. Mich came up with the idea of lighting up her ciggies! Naturally, i stood next to her. Rather a passive smoker, than to suffer from all that itch!

After all, i've been a passive smoker since day 1 of my life. What's 3-4 hours of ciggie smoke, compared to the probing itch of the killer mosquitoes? YEah. She lighted about 8 sticks within 1 hour. That's like how scary the mosquitoes were, and it worked.

You know, when i mentioned it to beanie, he said that in truth the ciggies weren't of much help, as mosquitoes ain't scared of ciggie smoke. BUt seriously... it was either a psychological thingie or the truth... there was alot lesser mosquitoes bugging me. Mich donated her ciggies to a good cause. Hiak Hiak!

The pictures turned out pretty good, Cool's the better word to describe. After all, there seem to be an even amount of us wearing white polo tee, and black polo tee! Coincidence isn't it? I had such a good time staring not smiling to the camera. It's probably the 2nd time i've been told not to smile into the camera.
First was for Sam's hair shoot, and second would be today. Hahah. Oh boy, i do look fierce, without smiling!

We all posed professionally for the camera, looking cool and poised. Yet after each posing we did for the camera, all of us would figet around like mad! Yep, like Mad people! The mosquitoes were in for a big treat of blood buffet today.

Immediately after the photoshoot, i made a huge effort of walking out of the forest really fast. I was never the nature loving girl... and i seriously doubt i'll ever learn to love nature in the future...
Though being pretty sure that i'll survive if i have to, but being hot, sweaty and muddy was something i never fancied, not to mention the ever irritating mosquitoes!

Admiring nature from afar or from pictures is something... conserving nature is yet another thing that im willing to campaign on...but living in the nature, like a cave man is something that i'll object to violently! argh!

I'm due for my driving lessons tomorrow, and im rather surprised that mommy told me to cancel it, coz she wanna go shopping at City Square tomorrow! It's unlike mommy to tell her kids to play truant. Oh well, im enjoying it actually!

Managed to cancel the lesson, despite it being less than 24 hours to the lesson. Whee!

Earlier in the day, before leaving home for edit's photography session, i was rather amused and exasperated with mommy's failing memory!
She insisted that i've kept my passport, while i insisted that she kept it with her. SO we kept going on and on about each other being sure about the safekeeping of my passport. Sobs! Her memory IS failing, coz the last time my passport was in use, was for the family to travel to Bangkok last june. I remembered my passport being "confiscated" by her when we purchased liquor at the DFS.

Yet dumb mommy insisted that passport ain't with her. Horrified (that we'll have to pay $100 for a replacement passport), and joyous (coz i'll get to change the horrendous passport picture, if i lose it), i decided to search mommy's drawer, instead of her insistent advise of me searching mine.

Being really sure of myself, i decided to bet with mommy. THat she'll pay for all my shopping tomorrow, if the passport is with her. Wha hahahah! Looks like she'll have a slimer waller tomorrow night, coz i found my passport sitting happily in a corner of her drawer, together with the bank books! Woo Hoo!

Mommy jokingly insisted that i've secretly snuck my passport into her drawer, so that she'll lose the bet. Bah! Sore loser! hahaha

Im like so excited about my shopping trip tomorrow! Yay! Free shopping with mommy!
Not like she wouldn't pay for my shopping to start with, but it'll probably mean that i can spend her money guilt free!

Coincidently, tomorrow's my BIG day!
Not BIG Day like im getting married, but more like BIG Day, like im getting my results in the evening.

Oh No! What if i fail them again? I wouldn't want to fail... I wanna Pass! I don't wanna be labelled as a Dunce..thought im never particularly good with studying and examinations..Boo!
Im afraid... I don't ever want 5:30pm to come. BOo!

freaky insomnia

I was supposed to go over to Chinatown to hunt for the elusive "mix & Match" to get some stuff today, but guess sleep got the better of me. I don't quite know what's wrong with me recently, but i've been sleeping alot, and i seem to have a problem waking up.

Somehow, it's not perculiar to most of you that i'm sleeping at unusual hours of the day. But the fact that the timing is getting "earlier" in the morning... it used to be 5 plus, then it became 6 plus, and nost recently, it's 7 in the morning.

I don't know if it's because of Da or what, but both of us seem to be having the same problem. She'll be on the com all night long, while it's only during the night that i feel that there's so many thing that i want to do.
So it looks like the both of us are encouraging each other to push back our sleeping routine.

Mommy's always been the one who objects to our unusual sleeping routine, and both da and i know that our unusual sleeping habit is bad for our health, and we should do something about...
but..but.. how?

I've finally watched Madagascar today. It's cute, and funny! I 've gotten myself a madagascar combo, which includes a box of popcorn, and a cute little madagascar cup with gloria the hippo standing on it! Decided to leave it with beanie, so i'll be able to use it when im over at his place! hee!

Came home from the movies to see mommy and Da watching Miss Universe. Well, hail Miss Canada! At least she's decent looking. It's good to know that the top 5 ladies are all brunettes. Not that i've got anything against blondes, but i do think that blondes are over rated. Somehow, they've got this look that kinda spells slutty. Look at Paris hilton, no matter what she wears, she still looks bratty, and cheap.

Can't quite understand why Lindsay have to go blonde. Might be the influence of Paris? Da and i went into a short debate of whether Paris or her sister Nicky looked better.. What say you?

Opps! Im supposed to be sleeping soon, coz i've gotta be in school by 4pm for exco meeting. Hey! surprise! surprise! im not sleepy. What am i supposed to do? Argh, it's frustrating.
Even with books, i can't sleep. With books, i become so determined to finish up the novel, before i sleep.

I don't suppose i'm down with somekind of weird freaky insomia am i?
Oh well, the newspaper man is here... guess it's really bed time.
