ogle-amania!

oops. i was supposed to meet up with Jenice and Gloria today, but i seemed to have forgotten all about it. sigh....

Oh well, check out the following link for some fun and laughs
http://www.milbestlight.com/swf/game/game1.swf
The objective of the game, is for you to oogle as much as possible, at your buddy's very "hot" sister, within a minute. Well, i guess i make a bad ogler. But it's not my hobby to stare at a girl's boobs what! !$%#^ Well, Da makes a very good ogler, with 28 seconds left to spare! Too bad that she's not a guy, but i guess it comes in handy, when it comes to ogling at guys? BAH!

im in trouble..

Seriously, i dont know what's my problem, but i woke up at 12, to get dressed for school, being really proud of myself, for waking up on time, for the first time in weeks!!!

Being all dressed up, and about to leave home, it suddenly dawned upon me again, that MAB is supposed to be in the morning, not afternoon! If so, why do i have the impression that MAB is in the afternoon?? How dumb can i get??? Yet the dumbest part, would be to repeat the same mistake, over and over again. *frustrated*

I think my memory's seriously in deep deep trouble. I seem to be forgetting alot of important matters, and it's worrying. I do hope im not turning psychotic....

On the other hand, i don't seem to have much problem falling asleep, but waking up seem to be such a hassle everyday. There seem to be constant phonecalls coming in to harrass me, depriving me of my sleep!! Im serious about it!

On a lighter note, im now experimenting with paper lacquer, and it seem to be on the right track, except that i'll probably have to get some real lacquer, instead of using my nail polish. But experiment would have to wait. There's a whole lot of things, that requires my attention:

Marketing project,
my very pathetic MAB ( i gotta start taking out the notes to study, before it's too late), there's also Comm Law assignment, that i've not done yet,
and The triumph competition to plan about (but i've yet to submit the application form, and elaine's been constantly bugging me over the phone, calling me from 8.30am to 2.30) which is kinda of the main reason why i haven't been having proper rest.

I'm Sleep deprived, but somehow, for the past few days, there seem to be this whole conspiracy to depreive me from my much needed sleep!
There's the constant phonecalls, and i had commercial law on saturday morning, and i went on to meet up with Selene for a shopping session! Had to wake up at 10am for dim sum on Sunday, since i promised mommy that i'll go for it, and i was so sleepy, i could have slept standing up. On the way over to grandad's house, i fell asleep in the car, despite being squished in a weird manner, (dim sum was with my aunt and cousins as well...so 5 of us squished together in the back to visit grampa) i managed to sleep my way there alright! haha

I went home, and played Majong the rest of my sunday with Christopher, Esther, Joanne, Jason, and a girl named Kat, that i've never met before. YEah...so much for sleeping. Naturally, i was stonned throughout the entire game, but it was fun while it lasted.
Meeting up with the gang, kinda made me miss going to Mambo. I might want to go this wednesday, if im not feeling too tired. After all, it'll be closing for renovations soon, and the next time that i'll be able to step into the place, it'll prolly be after exams, when it's "beautified"

Was supposed to meet up with the group mates yesterday, to discuss Marketing project, but it's been postponed at the very last min. I was already out of the house, and having lunch at Marina Sq with beanie... We went to try Carl's Junior. It's this expensive Fast Food joint. The burgers are pretty nice, though slightly pricier than Burger King. It's a nice stuffing experience, and i went shopping around (since proj is cancelled), after beanie went off for work. and bought stuff again.
I should refrain myself from stepping near the parameters of town and shopping malls! It's such a dangerous place! Money gets lost withou much effort!
----------------------------------------------------------
There's so much meeting up to do, even though boo boo's busy working and not with me. I need a time managment expert to help me manage my life soon, before i bonker off. Grrr!
I is sleepy, but i need to send the dumb triumph application form to Jalan Perminpim, and i might wanna meet up with Jenice and Gloria, since i haven't seen them for at least a year. Last time i remember seeing them, was last sem before exams. so it must have been at least 6 mths or so already?

Look, it's true that i'm a busy bummerina. I'm not doing anything in particular, but i've still got a whole bunch of important task waiting for me, and yet im still busy doing my mundane routine. How could i possibly survive??

Oh, Does anyone knows how to add music into their blogs? What must i do?

Sniff! sniff!

I'm Sick..... Argh!

there's *cough cough* and *sniff sniff* and slight fever, together with sore throat.
No wonder i've been feeling sleepy and lethargic for the past few days!
I spend my whole day sleeping today, hoping that i'll recover soon...

Apparently sleeping, ain't doing much miracles. Bah!

Im hooked onto those drama serials again.... first there's the korean "da chang jing", and there's the old old...version of Legends of the Condor heroes...whatever.... So i've been spending alot of my free time, staring into the pictue box. unhealthy eh, i reackon that I've been watching more tellly recently, than what i've been watching for the past one year at home. haha...'.
Bad for eyes!

Macadamia nut icecream craving!
But boo boo says im sick... no ice cream for me <=(

Ooohhh Quidan looks interesting! Too bad, that circus no longer have animals performing anymore! Talking about animals, i chanced upon Mphosis store the other day, and so happened to pick up this neck warmer made from fur.
It's so soft, and very cute.....until i saw the price tag. It says rabbit Fur!!!!!

It's so disgusting! i never quite understood why people are willing to kill animals just to beautify themselves. Imagine someone stealing your puppy, or kitty kat, piggie or bunny, just to make a fur stole, or neck warmer, or coat or something!

It's absolutely unthinkable!
Argh!

eventful week!

This entire week has been a blur of events.... with our Nerd-tional Parade on tuesday, fine dining at Equinox on Thursday, and my first visit to The Kranji Turf Club today! It's such an eventful week! Nerdtional Parade was a success, and though there's little hiccups in between, i'll still stick to my statement, that it's been a successful event! Considering the fact that it's our first attempt in organising a school bash since becoming EXCO.

Beanie's dad turned 60 on Thursday, and so we had a dinner celebration at Equinox, where we have Beanie's god sis and her husband, his aunt, cousins and their wives, and there's me, beanie, Bernard, and not forgetting.. beanie's mommy!

Ambience is good, but the menu seemed fond of using unusual words to describe their food. Words like Cream of Salsify, Degustation, Chantilly, and Beef cheeks.
I was rather amused with the restaurant's choice of words. Perharps, they thought it would be classier to use pretty words?

Beef cheeks were actually the meat of the cow, that's rather near the tummy. The kind chinese restaurants uses for stew beef. Jokingly, Beanie's cousin said it's either the cheeks of the cow, or the butt cheeks. Whichever it is.

I had lots of fun that night, and it was my first time meeting Boo's relatives. It's scary, but they are a funny bunch, so i just kept laughing the entire night.

I had Sauteed Scallops for starters, Supreme chicken soup and Foie Gras next, and alittle of beanie's cream of salsify, which is actually some crayfish broth with crayfish meat served on a wooden chopstick. (told you they like fancy names for their dishes, it could have just be cream of crayfish, or crayfish chowder. But no.... Equinox must use fancy names to keep up with their prestige-ness) I had the Ribeye beef and the cheeks, followed by the Strawberry soup for dessert, and i helped along with the additional orders of a Chocolate Fantasy.

Comprising of various forms of chocolates. There's the white chocolate, according to beanie's cousin, the white chocs was shaped like"madonna's conical bra", then there was this eggy thingie that came in 2 glasses, with chocolate crunchie balls sprinkled on top of it. (That's my favourite!) There's the bitter mousse ( i dreaded it), and other stuff that i didn't try..

It was very much what the menu had described....chocolate fantasy. I think, if you eat it all by yourself, im sure you'll end up being diabetic for life. Oh there was complimentary red wine to go with all that food, and a really mini mango cake, the size of my palm, was given as a gesture of good will.

After being very bloated and done with dinner, we actually went on to the hotel room to cut the cakes. It's this Tiramisu cake from Pregos, it's good, but it melts really really fast.
And the funniest part of it, was to see the entire cake, being decorated with 60 candles! The flaming cake seriously had a hard time staying solid while everyone was snapping and posing for the camera. By the time it was cut and served..i was just eatting this puddle of tiramisu shake!

We had this cute little surprise sitting on the bed, when we entered the room. Little Shanice was being smuggled into the hotel as a surprise, since little kids under the age of 12, wasn't allowed to be brought into the restaurant. So Sheila actually arranged for the little cutie to be brought to the hotel room, after dinner! Such a pleasant surprise!

Seems to me, everytime i see her, she's got some new tricks available, for show and tell. This time, she seemed to have mastered the art of calling "gong gong" and "ma"!
Walked alittle, and said "Bye!", and could also manage a flying kiss. Her baby antics are So cute!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I went to the Turf club for the first time in 22 years today. It's fun, and i had a good time hollering for the horsey that i was cheering for. My choice of horses to support, has alot to do with how they are being dressed, and the names that they were given. Like Straight Flash, Royal Jade, Ocean Dancer and so on.. You get what i mean... hahah!

I like the feel of adrenaline when the horses are about to reach the finishing line, where we have everyone hollering for the horse that they've betted on. Oh Beanie's dad managed to win $24 in his last bet. It's fun, but i probably wouldn't spend money going there. First there's the carpark fee, then came the human entrance fee... Just to see horses scrambling around. The waiting time during the interval, is longer than the amount of time spent on watching horses running.

Time to go, Commercial Law awaits me in the morning!

The aunt, the pig, and my coming test.

Damn Dengue! My aunt's down with Dengue Fever, and from the observer's point of view, it's a horrible thing to suffer from. She's pale, not eating, nauseous, and suffering for days!
There's nothing i could do to make her feel any better, except to encourage her eat more, so that she'll be able to strengthen her system within.

Hurts to see her going through this, after all, she's the only aunt that that matters to me. As the remaining aunts, are from dad's side, and they could hardly bother if i were dead or alive. The number of times we meet a year, could be counted just using one hand.

While my "ah yee" as my family would fondly address her, is different. Being Mommy's only sister, she's a motherly figure to mommy, sis and i. When we were younger, we'll bunk over at ah yee's place, when mommy and daddy are overseas.

I recall telling mommy that ah yee's cooking exceeds the maid's and mommy's cooking, and we'll always make the maid imitate her cooking after returning home. Somehow, the magic touch wasn't there. Yeah yeah, sis and i were bad little picky eaters.

Somehow, ah yee and mommy would meet up nearly every Saturday(since young til now), and god knows where they'll disappear to, be it to visit grandpa, for line dancing, flag day.. and many whatnots. Haha.

Makes me wonder how the two of them managed to stay so close through out the years, (looking at da and i...we either are really close and happy, giggling at silly stuff, or we'll try to kill each other over idiotic stuff.)
Guess u'll mellow down in years to come... (hopefully, haha)

Oh well, waiting for ah yee to recover soon, so we could meet up for the planned Dim sum meeting soon!! (im not a glutton, but the last time we had dim sum together, was on mother's day!)

Backtracking to the day before... i was changing pix!e's cage, and the naughty little thing actually ran over to my laptop, and nipped on it! (i placed it on the floor to check out some stuff, and changing her home's beddings- im a multitasker! haha!)

I was mortified...! Luckily, the joybook's still scratch free, and i guess the naughty thing didn't munch on too hard. *phew*
But poor little itchy mouth ended up with 2 bleeding toes, when i tried trimming her nails soon after.

She fidgeted, and i ended up chopping off part of her toes. =( she bled quite alot, and i freaked out. Still, the bleeding didn't deter me from trimming on. Haha. Long nails makes walking difficult. So it's only natural that i groom the pig ma. Besides, if i were to bring her to the groomer, i wouldnt be able to see if they chopped off all her toes or not. (im looking on the grim side). I figured that, since i wasn't able to hold her still, all the more, the groomers wouldn't be able to do a good job. (though they're actually doing it for a living, but i refuse to trust them!)

I tried to make up for the bleeding, by feeding her with more yummilicious food, you know, to replenish for the lost blood. Ialso tried to stop the bleeding by applying pressure on her toes. Only to have a really irritated pig nipping me on the finger. I guess i kinda over reacted on her bleeding toe. Sigh.

That dumb pig!

Mommy says pix!e's just like me. Argh! Cause i woke up to find her "home" all messed up, when i remembered cleaning it up her home before going to bed. Oh yeah. Im messy, but i don't shit and pee over my food do i? The pig's dumber than me! Ha! Ha!

And i Cuter than her! *wishful thinking on my part*

Tomorrow's gonna be a horrible day. there's magazine distribution to look into, assisting Zoe with her bash ticketing, and the collection of outfits for Pageant at P.O.A, Jean Perrie, and Osmose. It'll be good, to borrow "Flash's" superpower tomorrow.

I'm so dead about MAB ( Managment accounting) Which idiot invented accounting? It's such a complicating and torturous subject. My brain's definitely not created to absorb accounting. It's horrible! should i sit for the test on tue or not?? Dilema!

New hair color!

Yay! I went back to Blitz at Holland V to dress up my hair!
It's currently a collection of Blonde, Red, Copper, and my base color of Blackcurrent.
I like it, i like it! Going back to Blitz seem to remind me alot of my days in Design school, where my hair's usually funky.

Being in Business school, i seem to have toned down my style of dressing, my hair styles, colors and even behaviour etc. I feel like just another monotonous commoner. I no longer stand out, feel proud and special about myself. Instead, i feel like im just another typical boring, really boring business student. The modules that i'm studying doesn't seem to stimulate my creative juices either.

The fact that i'm going back to Temasek Poly tomorrow for SIM's sport's day, gives me this little thrill! I'll be stepping back to the a common ground, where creative, funs, sweat, and efforts were spent in creating stuff, be it a retail store concept, or some wearble pieces made from my very lousy sewing, or even to hang around in the stuffy workshop experiementing with tie dyes, crocheting, screen print. Those WERE the days. I'll give anything, just to go back there, just relieve my memories all over again.

I miss the friends that i've made there, i miss the food there, and i miss being young all over again. Reminiscing these memories, just leave me with this special smile, and Tp will always have this special place. somewhere deep in my heart. It's where the lecturers truly care, unlike what we're experiencing now. I seriously doubt if the lecturers in SIM even know one name from the lecture group. It's sad and pathetic.

A far cry from what i was so used to...

Face lift!

Look! It's the new face lift of the season. It's the Autumn/Fall look. Hahah...
It took me hours to figure out why my link isn't working, and which is the right color for my tag Board. Yes tag board is still looking horrible, but there's nothing much i can do about the color combi.

Well while blogging, im scratching all over. Yes, im peeling. All over..from my cheeks, to nose, to my chest. I slathered all kinds of shit onto my skin. From mango moisturiser from the body shop, to clinique's dramatically moisturising, to Clinique's after sun clamant, to body scrub to reduce itchiness....and back to mango lotion. Haha... desperate itchiness, calls for desperate measures.

Scratching is bad, coz it looks obscene. I might be mistaken for suffering from cooties! And im scratching at places that would cause heads to turn, and aunties to shake their heads with disapproval.
Nothing i could do, and i can't bear with the itch!

I went over to Ikea and Anchorpoint for dinner, and a little round of stroll. Ooh i wanted to buy the basket for storage, so i could dump all my jeans and pants into it. Mommy's forever complaining about my pile of clothes. So wicker basket will be a good way to hide up the mess. *smiles*

I also saw really cute bedlinens, curtains, layout...and everytime i pay Ikea a visit, i have this huge urge to redecorate my room! I want to add more stars to the wall, change the bed, the wardrobe, the floor tiles, a mosaic tiled kitchen or toilet and many more!

While i was at Ikea, i passed by Guardian's and i got mommy a box of L'oreal Feria Hair dye. As usual, i chose the color, Blackcurrent. Paid for it, and went home.
Played Hair colorist for the night, and i dyed mommy's head blackcurrent. Many years passed, and i still think it's a good color. It's not too loud, and not too subtle, I guess the name's got something to do with the appeal that it's exercised on me though.

So happened that i couldn't resist the color..and decided to do mine too... i randomly picked certain spots to color, but ended up spreading the dye all over the head.
But hey! It turned out pretty nice. I look healthier instantly. The previous copper color made me look like i was sick, as im waaay too pale to stomach "copper". Darkening me head seem to solve my "sickness" instantly.
Yummy!

I am so Proud of my work, but unfortunately, i've got yet another appointment with the hairstylist tomorrow.
So i've only got 1 day to show off my work of art, before it becomes someone else's work again.
Boo. Lookat it in another way.. if the color job turns out bad, at least i have the hands of an expert to rescue my short locks. But sucky, when it turns out fine and pretty.
Bah!

Bash tickets are out, and the RUmagazine is due to be printed and delivered this friday. Im so excited about it!
If only i could be as excited about my coming Management Accounting and Business Test that's due on tuesday. Sigh. That's life i suppose...

Ooh... and my poor little injured toe resembles a bulbasaraus. It's gross and disgusting. I guess it's disfigured for life. Wearing pretty shoes won't comfort the poor little toe anymore. Boo! poor toe...

Post initiation Day Chalet...

Tired, hungry, burnt skin, aching muscles, and a poor bleeding toe sums up end of the event.

Had my lunch/dinner after stepping out of Sentosa at 5pm, and i kinda fell asleep on the cab on my way home. Lugging my huge "5days 4 night" bag(as usual, i overpacked again) , my beach bag, and the radio that was never used, my body was screaming exhaustion.

Exhaustion from the load that i brought along with me, and from the lack of sleep the night before. The activities planned for us, was a success, as the freshies are already bonding.
(or at least i think they're bonding).


From treasure hunt to drinking/forfeiting games session, to telematch by the beach, and a game of Captain's ball in the pool kinda sums up our very exhaustive schedule.
Chilling out by the poolside, was the finale. and i couldn't figure out if it was the pool and captain's ball, or the telematch by the beach, that resulted in the sun burn.

Falling asleep, the minute i reached home, i couldn't care about cleaning up and unpacking. I barely had the energy to mutter a "hello mommy...look at my new tan"before stumbling onto my comfy little bed after shedding off my soiled clothes.

Waking up only to the sound of telly blasting (mommy and sis are currently hooked onto some old Legend of the Condor Hero VCDs), dry contact lens stuck to the balls of my eye, and a very oily but sore face. Aching muscles added onto the list, once i started stretching around.

Eating dinner at 1am in the morning, Im feeling pathetic. I'll update a more joyous version of The initiation day, once i get sufficient rest. Meanwhile, im off to sleep...and i guess i should moisturise myself alittle to help with the burns. There's this sneaky feeling that the heat rash is spreading......
...zzZZzz..

blind blind blind

There i go again, unremorsefully... unshamely spending money again! I've just gotten myself a new pair of delicous purplish pink specs that I couldn't resist indulging in.
Besides, it isn't healthy to be wearing contact lens forever. So..... yup yup. 80 bucks for plastic speckies.

When the optician did a eye check for me, *horrors of horrors!* i found out that im blinder by a hundred degrees! 250 deg on each eye, to a 350! it's horrible!
Makes me wonder how i've survived, now feeling so blind. I'll probably have to blow another 100 bucks for a spanky new pair of contact lens as well, considering the fact that my current ones are a hundred degress backdated. I feel ancient. Boo!
I guess, i'll have to start saving for lasik soon..don't really fancy walking around with glasses as thick as milk bottles by the time im 30 years old.

Im pretty much being entertained by this crocheting craze, spending most of my free time, doing crochet work, unravelling it frequently ( as i'm unhappy with my workmanship, and choice of design) , crochet, unravelling again..im such a perfectionist in my wn little way.... haha.
After many hours of hard toiling labour.... i realised that i haven't advanced much, and i'm hoping to finish up with something really soon.
Judging at the decaying/fraying tangles of yarn...i seriously doubt i'll be able to complete anything within the next one month.

Incase you're really thinking that im some kind of a crochet retard, let me reassure you that i've actually crocheted a black raffia bag sometime ago..it's just that the design/pattern that i'm dealing with currently, requires alot more skill and patience on my part.

Driving lessons officially commerce on tue again, after a month of self declared "term break".
Oh dear, i do hope that i'll be able to remember how to park the car on Tuesday...
Seriously doubt that i'll be able to go for the exams by September, forseeing many more delays to come.
