It's over

Well.. im relieved that the Triumph competition is finally over.
It's been a hectic 2 days for me.
There's Cristofori's marketing projectdue on monday, and there's the Triumph competion that's due today.
Unluckily, the beloved laptop has to act up on me at important times such as this, and i spent my entire wednesday night getting the boo to fix my com. Lucikily, everything's up and about, but when im done with the Cristofori project, i'll proabably have to send Benq in for a body check up. There's simply too much conflicts and file corruptions despite it's fancy new covering.

Due to the delay, i spent the whole of yesterday night, rushing for Triumph's visuals. 2 day's worth of work, rushed into one night is simply madness.
I went to bed at 7am today, overslept and woke up at 1 to complete the remaining visuals that i supposed to do, though i know that i could have done better!

Im glad everything is done & submitted in time, it's such a relieve for me!
One burden down!

Well well... Cristofori's next! I cant wait to drop the Cristofori burden on monday, and i just realised that i've missed my Ice-cream Buffet in school!!! Argh!
There's still so much to be done for marketing project, and there's still so much uncertainties, i seriously hope that my team will buck up and start doing their stuff seriously now.
Every meet up, there's bound to be changes to the strategies. So so much for unity and team work. Falling apart sounds more like it.
thinking about is is sheer exhaustion.... im gonna collasp soon!
there's zit outbreaks and dark eye rings to combat..... from the stress and the lack of sleep i'll suppose, and it's gonna cost me a bomb to undo the physical damage that projects have inflicted on me.

There's exams coming soon too. OMG i got to start studying really soon. Especially for ECONS and Managment Accounting.

To think that i'm still thinking of taking part in another competition....
I think i must be mad!

Pepper Lunch!

Pepper Lunch! Yummy. It's a rather interesting way of dining... it's like a fast food sort of tepanyaki. It's being served in a hot plate, with barelycooked/raw beef slices, and a scoop of rice. You're supposed to mix it well, so that the butter, rice and meat will taste yummy.

To make it taste yummier, you're supposed to add condiments of your choice. It's either honey brown sauce, or garlic black sauce. I preferred the honey bown sauce, coz it's sweeter.

Yep. Place a scoop of rice in your mouth, and go Mmmmmmmm. It's delicious!
But a tad too salty for my liking. Might be my generous amount of honey brown sauce, might be the generous butter that's mixed into my rice..but i can't quite tell.

Truthfully, i felt like a retard, when the sizzling plate of yummy lunch appeared before me.
I didn't know that i'll have to stir my beef to ensure that it's properly cooked, and neither do i know that there's butter hidden in my rice. Yup yup.

Went walking around town with the boo for awhile, before i went home, and collasped onto my comfy bed, and while the boo reports for work.

The folks had no idea that i was home, fast asleep. Which also meant that i wasn't included in dinner plans. Poor daphy.. no dinner.
I had to rummage through the fridge..emerging with a box of apple strudel.
Making do with the apple strudel... it's disappointing to know that the apple kinda taste like wine.

Boo! there goes apple strudel. I tried picking on whatever pastries that hasn't been infected with the "ripening" process... and ate the custard cream at the side.

Oh joy! what yummy dinner.
I ended up with instant noodle...the quick and sure to taste good solution. Haha.

. .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . ..

Today was a pain in the ass day.
Literally pain pain to my ass. It's been such a long time, since i last sat for an hour, travelling from west to east. I had a good time sleeping in the very stuffy no. 7 bus. Boy it's gross. The smell of sweaty people, the market smell that people bring along with them, when they board the bus, together with their dead dripping chicken and fish and pork and beef and vege. Yucks!

Sitting in the train, heading to school is yet another gut retching experience. The smell! The Body Ordour! Urgh. Not that im being racist..but somehow, indians tend to have this horrible smell of either curdled milk, or sweet incense smell lingering around whereever they go.
Nauseousness crept up rather quickly, and i've never been so glad to see Clementi station. Someone please remind me about my experience, the next time i intend to go on a long ride in the train.

Til now, i'm still feeling the aches of sitting down for too long. My poor backside.. Bleh.

Going to Cristofori's headquarters at Bedok had been quite an enriching experience for me.
I learnt alot about pianos, and to be reminded about how pretty baby grand can be. Fancy getting one for myself, though mommy will flip, if i really do get one. No Space! She'll probably tell me to get one for myself, when i have enough money, to get my own home. Haha.

I had yet another long chat with Zoe, and somehow, i feel much better talking to her. Somehow, talking about it, just seem to shrink the problems .
Weird, isn't it?

I do hope that my marketing project is gonna be alright, coz i really wanna get it over and done with. I've got enough of Cristofori, and it's getting alittle on my nerve. Having to juggle and bear with all the weird nonsense.

Triumph competition seems to be getting nowhere either, and it's beginning to get on my nerves. There's Econs test coming up this thursday, and im not ready for it yet. Not much of a choice, as to whether i like it or not. I'll eventually gotta face it. It doesnt help to know that everyone is studying and preparing for it. Yes! Kenny and Robin, and the rest.... You're making me feel real panicky! Bleh!

I guess i'll go grab dinner, and start on Econs soon, so that i'll be able to stroll through Bugis in peace, in the afternoon.

Tata..

Oh there's this indian man that's been constantly calling me back, to reply to a miss call. This is weirder. I don't recall making any out going calls to anyone in particular today. Wonder if Starhub screwed up?

mooncake anyone?

Mooncakes anyone?!
I think mooncakes are getting alittle too...overwhelming for me.
There's those normal ones from shangri la, snowkin with campedak filling ones from Goodwood hotel, and daddy bought this really elaborately packaged mooncakes from china..There's also the crystal jade ones, and the yummy frozen durian ones from dunno where. Also not forgetting the Tiramisu ones from Baby's mom.... Argh!

My sweet tooth's turning against me!!!!
To think that i was still considering getting the Bakerzin ones! I seriously doubt it man.

then because it's mommy's birthday, we've got apple strudel at home...and there's also those dragon's beard candy which was given to her from some company ( they replaced mooncakes with the dragon candy. Good choice! )...which is yummy!
Well well well....


Friday's dinner at Marche was good! We had lots of fun taking pictures, and i must have taken at least a hundred pictures, with at least 7 cameras! You could imagine all the noise we were making.
I guess it's politically right to say that we were a public nuisance, but who cares? As long as we enjoyed ourselves!
Adrian and Fiona took part in this grape stomping competition, and we won!!! It's gross, looking at those grapes being squashed by adrian's feet. yucks!
It was to promote Marche's wine fest!! The stomping act won them a glass of red wine each. Haha. I had my favourite pork knuckle as usual, and chicken breast. Luckily for my digestive system, i shared the pork knuckles with Daniel, and the waffles with daniel and gary.

We had strawberry cheesecake, to celebrate council member's birthdays. It's ok, but i realised that i seem to have lost taste for cheesecakes recently. So i didn't quite finish up mine. We stayed on to play games, and forfeit was to take a bite of mashed cheesecake mixed with lots of salt and pepper and whatever u had there. I was one of the lucky ones who had a go at the cheesecake... and it's salty!

Adrian, fiona, agacia and the rest left for Zouk, while the the remaining half (including myself) went on to Maestro Bistro at Cineleisure to chill on. It wasn't a very good experience over at the Maestro. Service was horrible, but we had a good time chatting and swapping gossips anyway.
---------------------------------------------------

Saturday, I devoured alittle of the apple strudel, before going over to Beanie's friend's house warming, and went to Goodwood Hotel to collect the mooncakes for Beanie's folks, and Grandpa, and our own. 3 boxes! But it's heavy alright! I had a hard time struggling around with 3 boxes of mooncakes.

first gotta drag it over to Clementi, pass it to beanie's folks, then travel home. My poor arms!
Mommy thought Beanie was fetching me, that's why she told me to collect them.
But truth is, he's working, so i have to take public transport la.

On my way home, curiosity got the better of me, so i decided to give the heavy mooncakes a prod! I was surprised that the skin's so so so soft!
So i prodded a few more times, before i was satisfied. =)
I ran home, and made mommy cut up one, just to try. (You know, since i wasted so much energy carrying around, the least that i could do, was to know how it taste like right?

We celebrated mommy's birthday, by having dinner..and we had steamboat! It's a simple place, with a ont so simple fanfare. There's geoduck, the elephant looking clam thingie, and there's live drunken prawns, fried chicken and the steamboat stuff la! It's good. yummy!

I went to meet baby for supper after he finished work. We had Ba Kut Teh! Yummy!!
I was exhausted by the time i reached home, so i changed, and fell into this superbly deep sleep. Haha!

---------------------------------------------------
Woke up, and had mommy's famous yummy prawn noodles. It's the only main dish that she's good at. FYI, my Mommy can't cook very well la.
Went to change the piggie's home, and shower the pig! Poor dirty girl had a bad bath time today.
But she emerged from the bathroom clean and fluffy!
We left for Grandpa's place soon after showering Pix!e, to deliver the mooncakes that i painstakingly brought home.

Had dinner at holland, and it's Har cheong kai, Black pepper crab, seafood soup, salted fish with bean sprouts, sambal kangkong, cereal fried prawns.
PRAWNS, is a constant diet in my family's meal. Coz i like it, and so does my brother. Sis is alittle picky though...she only FANCIES the FRESH ones. Haha...Yes so since i love the yolks in mooncakes, and i love prawns, that leaves me with very very high cholestrol. Yes i know that, so forget about reminding me about cholestrol level.

The only time i eat healthy, would be over at Beanie's house, where his mommy whips up delicous but healthy stuff for dinner. Sigh.
Better die young, and experience good food, than to die old, eating yucky mashy stuff that is classified as healthy!

That's my way of life!

phew..a relieve!

Im done with MAB test finally. Though i seriously doubt i'll pass, but it's good to be done with it. I had problems cramming for the test, as i was esaily distracted... by mini mooncakes, and freecell and god knows what. Basically, anything beats studying for MAB, even though i know that i should have started earlier.

Wanted to join the rest for after test celebration..but im kinda broke in a way, coz i gotta save money to get mommy's present. Besides, i was dead tired after the test. I fell into this deep deep sleep when i crashed the bed.

I'm clueless about what to get for dear old mommy. The stuff that i have in mind is either Freaking expensive, or nothing. Haha. Doesn't help that Dalena the sister is as broke as i am. We're on a tight budget....and i really mean tight. Sigh.. Life of a student... that's the poorest you can get.

Next online would be econs... i reckon that i start on econs soon, lest it turn out disastrous like MAB.
I was just reading through emails, and i realised that i haven't been checking mails for a long time. It's really bad, coz you're supposed to cultivate this habit of reading your emails daily, or more.... (esp when you start working in future) but com law and MAB test got the better of me i guess.

Im actually thinking of taking part in the christmas card design competition.. After all, the prize is $1000, and it sounds really fun and interesting.

Triumph competition seems to be coming up fine... and i really do hope that we'll triumph in the competition. Haha, pardon the punt with words..brain's sort of going lame recently.

I went shopping for mooncakes with mommy after waking up in the evening. We walked through the entire Taka square, and she made me try what seem like the hundredth mooncake, and they all taste the same, or similar. It's only the packaging that entices me.. i personally preferred the Bakerzin collection especially the sweet potato flavor. It's got this creamy taste to it, doesn't quite feel like you're eating a mooncake, and it's pretty!.

In terms of flavor, and packing, i like Bakerzin, like i mentioned earlier...
followed by this rooster one that may phua endorsed for. It's this huge cookie jar in the shape of a rooster...but i didnt try their product. It's cute!

I had to walk through the entire exhibit 3 -4 times... there's 4 seasons' durian mooncakes, big china mooncakes which was supposed to be good.... haagen daz ice cream ones...etc..
Can't quite remember the rest, but East ocean's mooncake tasted pretty good..coz it wasn't too sweet..though packaging was horrible. Erm the mom bought the ugliest of the lot. (meaning east ocean) Coz she said what matters is the taste.. not how it looks. Boo!

Over the weekend, i consumed nearly a dozen of mini mooncakes made by beanie's mom.
They aren't too sweet, and she's rather generous with the yolks. (slurp slurp) Since i was rather tied up with com law and MAB test..eating seem like the best way to make myself feel better.
In case you go tsk tsk about the chrolestrol level with the yolks... this auntie at the mooncake place told me that yolks are good for the memory! Whopppee! but..somehow.. i guess im i've got some yolk defiency going on..coz my memory's horrible! Next in line would be to polish off the tiramisu mooncakes, compliments from beanie's mommy...then would be mommy's.
Im such a glutton huh?

The start of student week is approaching.. looking forward to it, it's gonna be lots of fun! (i hope so) Whee!

Bad SAM! Bad!

sleep! everyone is telling me that they're deprived of sleep!
yet it seems to me that no one is actually sleeping much...
makes u wonder...what everyone's doing, instead of sleeping.

Friday night was spent in school, instead of of Agacia's birthday party. The thought of it alone.. is bad enough. Think about it. Spending you friday nights in school is absolutely a No no.
Yet there's nothing i could do to avoid it.
It's either i have fun, and skip the submission for Commercial Law, or i stay in school, and attempt to finish up Commercial law.

Getting chased out of school is horrible, and staying up til the wee hours of morning, to find that you've yet to complete your assignment is worst! You panick, you push your limits, you doze off, and dunk yourself into the cold shower... yucks!
Horrible!
I finally gave up fighting my sleepy urge, and went to bed.....
Only to wake up discovering that you're not done with your assignment yet!
It's horrible.

Well i managed to hand in the stuff on time. BUt i assure you, it's anything but quality.
It seems like open house for school was yesterday. There's an open house bazaar in school.
Dumbest part of things like this, is that...the school never notifies us that there's a bazaar. There should be more publicity!!

I didn't know that there was a bazaar, until i stepped into school to submit my assignment. There i saw lots of pretty dangly earrings, homemade reversible bags, clay whistles, and bendy wires used to create stuff.

It's delightful to see a crowd of people, setting up stores, blocking up the designated place for assignment submission. and all the pretty array of wares that they have. I couldn't help peeking around. As usual, it's too much to resist the temptation of spending money on stuff that you dont need.

It's only when i took a peek in my wallet, that it dawned upon me that i've got no cash! alright, it wasn't no cash...it was like.. $14. It's good enough to survive in school for a few days, if there isn't a bazaar just round the corner. It's bad when the pair of earrings that you fancy cost $17, and the bag that you thought was cute cost $18. Damn! i could afford none.
What a way to save your money. =(

I ended up buying myself a little clay teddy, that's serves as a bracelet, or a bookmark, or whatever you fancy it to be.
Well it's cute and cheap. Just $3.
It didn't quite cure the itch that i had..but it kinda soothe the itch.

It's quite lame to know that the school's installed a spanky new SAM machine, for the convenience of the students, to pay for bills, and buy stamps and the many other things SAM can do.
If you ask me, i'll rather sacrifice SAM, for an ATM. It makes more sense, and afterall, money makes the world goes round....while SAM cant. humph!

swarmped

Tired. That sums up me for the past 2 weeks.
Marketing project, Triumph Project, Commercial law Assignment (due tmr),yet another MAB test that's approaching this tuesday, and no doubt i'll do badly again...
and there's ECONS test approaching soon....
There's also Students week.. which i forsee lots of fun, but lots of time involved..
Argh! it's a wonder that im still half sane, and alive.

Commercial Law assignment is due tomorrow, and im only half done with it, it's getting worrying
i know i shouldn't have procrastinated... it would have saved me lots of worries, and sleep.
Yes yes, eating com law, sleeping com law, and breathing com law shall be my priorities today. Except that i've still got Agacia's Birthday party to attend later!!
Speaking of which, i'd better find out how the others would be transporting themselves there...
i'll hitch along la..

Later!

roar!

i spent my entire monday sleeping! Sunday was sleep depriving! I spent my evening sitting at Sembawang Park feeding mosquitoes!
But the good thing was that, i discovered a method to clean off the horrible markings that vinyl coated bags always have! Whooppee!
So i got a rather clean shiny white handles for my Zara bag! Boy am i happy!

I've been coming up with quite abit of Earrings, and response has been pretty good so far....
Audrey suggested that i should dump them at IncubeBox, and sell them. But im still considering. ARgh!

It's so much more exciting to be coming up with stuff, than to study. I wouldnt mind doing a mosaic mirror, crocheting a bracelet, slicing and stitching up my clothes, and redoing my nails, and more earrings, poking the pig.... Well you get the idea, anything but studying.

I went hanging out with Selene earlier, and we had a good time whiffing perfume at Sasa, to kill time. It's fun...and i've more or less made up my mind about the next "scent" i'll like to get.

Secret Wish by Anna Sui, or
Eclat by Lanvin,

Both are pretty similar in scent, but one's got a prettier bottle, and i've got a $10 voucher for the other. What am i supposed to do? Argh! i hate deciding..... Bleh

Da was showing me this picture, which featured the Hilton sister spotting similar tops, except Paris's said "Team Jolie", and Nicky's said "Team Aniston". It's so cute....we're thinking about pulling the stunt too, as soon as we can lay our hands on one. Haha!

Im going on a online shopping spreee agian. All thanks to Da Bleh! Old navy, GoJane,and American Eagle.... Best of all.. i'm broke! Where's the sugar daddy gone?

Vavavoom!

Mambo Jumbo

It's post mambo, and my legs feels like logs!
Mambo's pretty fun today. I enjoy hanging out with EXCO for mambo..it's rather refreshing at times, and we always have a good time. Though this is actually our third time clubbing together, i think the chemistry is good between us. There's this very good mix of genre preference, and i think it's interesting! I had a good time sharing some mambo movements with the others, and
We all had fun bullying Adrian today. But oh well, at least he now knows a new and cute jap chick! haha

I've been a good girl today, waking up early, to meet up for the Triumph group project. It's been the first time in weeks, since i woke up early, and got to school on time, for something!
Such an achievement!!!!!

Too bad, my memory screwed up in the second part of my schedule. I thought i had a meeting with Andy, until adrian reminded me that it's supposed to be next week, not today. How silly of me!!!

Yeap, so i left school, and met up with my Boo boo! He brought me to Great World City, to watch Herbie! Herbie's so cute... it kinda inspires me to reconsider my dreamcar!
first there was the Beetle ( new ones), then i decided that it's impractical for me to maintain a shiny new car...so i settled for a cheap rusty old Mazda 121 as a "realistic dreamcar", then i juggled 121 with miata...can't quite decide which is nicer, and less costly... haha...and now there's "herbie" in the picture as well. Oh well.

If i've got the money, i'll get myself a nice shiny new pearly white beetle. It'll be nice and classic.
Oh well....it's all "what ifs" Haha.

Before we watched Herbie, i stopped by at the pet store that's located near the cinema to check out the guinea pigs! they're so so so so Adorable! There's the baby ones that's barely the size of my handphone, and there's 3 that are the size of a normal feather duster.

Comparing Pix!e to the feather duster pigs, pix!e's only the size of a huge toilet brush.
she's so small, as compared to those giants.
I haven't been skimping on her food alright, she's got a daily dosage of Vitamin C, daily serving of Pig pellet, all the cabbage that she wants, and hay, and even hamster food as treats! She's eating better than i am! Such a high maintainence piggie! Bah!
All i wanted, was for her to be the size of a small feather duster! Why isn't she growing?
-------------------------------------------------------------
I rushed back to school, after Herbie, and was alittle late for the meeting. EXCO meeting followed after, and we spoke about certain issues about the future, and i'll say that i'm rather relieved that things turned out fine, and that the distribution of responsibilities and roles was good. I was about to faint from hunger, by the time the meeting ended.

We went on to Sushi Tei at Holland Village for dinner, and it's yummy!
AFter dinnner, Zoe and I had a short debate on whether to, or not to go MAMBO, and after making quite a scene at the bus stop, we concluded with... a YES!

So there we were, and im now blessed with legs that feels like logs! Yes! Im dead tired, and i should be off to bed!

Oh my mood and outlook on life is picking up, and im glad that im more optimistic now! though...depression tends to set in alittle, whenever im alittle tired. I guess it's called cranky! Bleh!

Bye mambo! Hello exams!
