West Side story






Waking up late on a friday afternoon, i decided to meet up with Zoe to study over at Ngee Ann, together with James, Johnny, and Da Xiong etc.
It was a rather funny day, and i kinda did studied alright!
We stayed til the library closed, then went over for dinner, and decided to head over to Mac's at West Coast, in an attempt to study more with Zoe, and Johnny.

I got distracted most of the time, and decided to yak and yak quite abit, distracting Zoe in the process!
While i was over at Mac's, i ordered this chocolate cake thingie, and the service staff there drew a smiley face on my plate! It's so cute!!!!

I did take a picture of my cute cake plate, but im just too lazy to load up the pictures on the phone... i'll procrastinate, and load it up another day.. (No i didn't flirt with the mac guy...it was just good service alright !)

Boo boo came and fetch me after work, and i went home to sleeeeeep...
But guess what?
I've got a surprise!! It's tickets for the West Side Story Musical! So i woke up rather early and took the opportunity to dress up pretty, and go watch the Musical...though i did wish that the story would have ended in a happier note.



























Since we're all dressed up, i decided to do alittle photo taking.... at home! Being all caught up with everything, i only remembered to take pictures, after i got home =(

Oh well! I went out for Cold crab with mommy, uncle terry and family. The yam dessert's yummy, and the crab's good. The rest of the dishes in between was normal.
Came home and crashed into bed.. (that's how tired i was), and now im up!

I'm such a happy girl today, but.... the fact that i'll have to study, kinda spoils the entire mood. =(
But im still gonna study, nevertheless.... *groans*

MR day.

I couldnt study the night before, cause i was back to feeling restless.
I woke up rather late today, so there wasn't much time to revise. Boo sent me to school, and i went for the paper shortly after.
MR is bad, so dont ask me how my paper went. *sulks*
Boo came and fetched me, after the paper ended, and i went over to Marina Square to walk around, when he went to work. I needed the retail therapy to destress!

I ended up buying myself 2 sets of sleepwear (camisole top and bottom), 1 polo tee, 1 belt, 1 new vermillion Zara short shorts! Was rather tempted to buy more, but the fitting was either bad, or they kinda ran out of sizes. Like the white floaty dress from Miss selfridge, the orange pleated waist skirt from Topshop, and the stripey short shorts from Zara. =(
Was rather interesting to note that i had good service all day long, and it was good to the extend that it became alittle overbearing. Ha!
I had this happy smirk while shopping today, when suddenly it dawned upon me

"How am i ever going to know that everything's really ended, and that they're no longer in contact?"

That got me depressed and upset for alittle while, cause i'll really not be able to find out, will i?
Everything's looking pathetic..Oh well, i wanna shop more!!!

Went home for dinner after all that shopping, and Ben called shortly after my dinner! So i went out again, for my second dinner. We wanted the Coffee Club initially, and we were told that they'll be closed early today, next was TCC, where i wanted cakes, and Ben wanted some smoked Salmon dish. Unfortunately, they ran out of yummy cakes, and smoked salmon...so we moved on to NYDC. Did i ever mention that Ben's a big boy with a small stomach. I had to help him with his Baked Pasta, while juggling my "Grandma goes nuts, seriously!" mudpie.

We saw Michelle Chong the TCS actress while passing by Breko's. I'd say that she's rather pretty in person.

I'm supposed to start on Employment Relations like now...but i'm feeling woozily sleepy. Argh!


*i've got an irritating eyelid that wouldn't stop twitching!!! argh! any cures?

its a boring tueday morning..

Many things happened over night, and i'd say that it's been a rough sunday night for me. I do hope the that worst would be over, and it's truly what i hope to believe.

I gave up my pride and tried to take matters as calmly as i could bring myself to be. Betrayal and deception is NOT what i want to encounter ever again.
------------------------------- ** ----------------------
Boo and i met up with Winston for dinner earlier in the evening, and we went over to Din Tai Feng. I didn't bring the camera along with me, coz i had this impression that i was to be dining at some coffeeshop in Clementi, instead of a restaurant in town. Oh well, life is full of surprises, i guess.

Winston's fine and dandy, and entertaining as usual. We each had a bowl of noodle, and a plate of vegetables that tasted normal... eek! Then there's the ever so yummy and juicy xiao long bao... it's absolutely yumy!!!

It was funny to watch Winston's disgusted expression, as he scooped out all the tofu that was swimming around the spicy and sour soup (the soup was free! and Winston doesn't eat tofu of any kind..)

We hung out at Gramophone paragon after dinner, then went over to his place. While i was there, Winston had this wooden box that says "a surprise for you".
I knew there's something in the box, the minute i laid my eyes on it.
But when the boo slid the box opened, and i peeped and saw some black rubbery thing in the box.

I wasn't prepared for that black stuff to hop out of the box, so naturally I went "Eek!" really loudly and sprung onto the sofa. WTH! Both Boo and Winston thought it to be extremely comical.After my recovery from the traumatic experience, I came to realise that the black rubbery thing (which was supposed to be a "liazrd", had this little springy catch that gave you the illusion of the lizard flipping out of the box.
Ha!

I'm back to studying Marketing Research, and progress has been unfruitful to date. Paper's officially on 27th this thursday, and i'm still at chapter 2. So dead i am...

Mommy's going over to JB for shopping later in the morning, while i'd be stuck at home studying for Marketing Research. It's such a lousy feeling to be left behind.

Boo and i are contemplating the Sony Ericsson W900i, but everything's still undecided. Afterall, the only reason why we're itching for a new toy, would be to experiment with the 3G features!
The design's sleek and pretty, the music function's cool, 3.0 mega pixel with autofocus camera, blahblabla..

We're also eyeing at the N80 (not out for sale yet) mainly because of the WIFI feature. The phone looks kinda ugly, and it doesn't look very appealing to me. definitely looks very "biang"! But for the WIFI.... hmm it's another story. Bah! But eventually, it is definitely a want, and not a need.

Therefore, my dear boo boo, we should exercise some self control and save up the money, coz our phones are still working perfectly well! Hahaa...

Reality crashes

Reality crashes when discovering the truth, the lies, the betrayal,emotions, pain and tears.

The loss of trust, the disappearing of faith. What more can i say?

Can the pain inflicted truly be compensated or healed? I dont really know.... It should never have happened, but yet u allowed it to happen.

saturdays








I'm back! Er, i meant my face's back to normal, therefore, picture snapping frenzy resumes!
I woke up this morning, to see a really sad pig. The "wattle bottle" that i bought for her yesterday was leaking...
The entire 1 litre of water found its way to the cage, instead of the piggie's system. The poor piggie didn't have anywhere to sleep or sit the entire night, coz she'll get really wet if she did..so pathetic!

You see, I broke her Water Bottle a few days ago, and i replaced it with a really temporary mini one that requires perpetual filling up. Being lazy, i decided its time to replace her bottle with a new one..so there you go, a new bottle!

Alas, the bottle was defective! So it ended up flooding up her home instead. The poor baby had wet and cold feet by the time i rescued her, and i had to make a trip back to Pet Lovers again, to get the bottle replaced. It'd better not leak again, or i'll kill them! Grr..

The piggie wiggie fell asleep soon after i cleaned up her home...poor thing right?

Boo and i Went over to Pacific Plaza after that, to collect the watch from the servicing center,(they've got rather lousy service, if you ask me, and im not gonna start complaining, or it'll turn to be a really long entry), and i had my yummy beef noodles for lunch/dinner at Scotts, before he leaves for work.

This concludes my "happening" saturday!
Well, time to hit the books again! zzZZzz....

Day of indulgence

















Yesterday was a day of pure indulgence!
Met up with the very Late Zoe, and we hurried over to New York Skin Solutions for Facial.
The people there tried their very best, to induce us into sign on a long term package with them..so for like over 2 hours, it was consultation/skin analysis time, including their sales pitch...*yawn* BORING!

When we finally started on the facial.... it was rather interesting and painful with a OUCH!
When the treatment was going on, the consultant must have channeled all her hatred onto my face! She squeezed, and pinched and squeezed and pinched my face with all her might.
What a horrible feeling! Kept asking myself, what was i thinking of, when i paid for the treatment, as my eyes teared from the excruciating pain that i was experiencing. The later part of the treatment was soothing and relaxing, or perhaps, i was exhausted from bearing with the pain, i actually fell asleep for quite a long time, while the masque was setting on my face.
Feeling refreshed from the short nap, I left the place with an extremely raw and bruised face, but it is definitely smooth face. Spring Cleaning done on the face is painful...but you know, no pain, no gain!

We the hungry and bruised girls (having not eaten anything for the entire day,)then decided on Sushi for dinner, so we rushed over to Sakae at Heeren, and stuffed ourselves silly, before moving on over to Holland Village, for our Fondue indulgence!

It's yummy, though the fondue left me with a creeping sore throat that comes and go...

I came home with a happy tummy, bruised face, and tired Daphne.

The End.

What a scare

In the midst of my studying breaks, everytime i walk past a mirror..i get quite a scare looking at my reflections in the mirror. I look like a freaking mad hag with my hair bunched and bundled up in weird directions, and my bespectacled face that truly brings out the nerd in me, the super dark eye ring, beneathed the pale face decorated with surfacing pimples....
With all the mugging going on now, I hope the rest of the world is look as "enchanting" as i am now .. *heeheehee* Yes i know i'm wicked... who isn't?

Speaking of which, i look like im wearing a really bad wig on my head. My hair's growing, and i swear that short hair, though fuss free in it's way, is high maintainence in yet another way.
Must be wondering what the heck i'm rattling about.... haha.

With short hair... i've got no problems walking around with the "bedhead" look without fussing much with the hair. There's no need to comb my hair, with the exceptions of after showering!

But with short hair, i gotta visit Kate very often, coz my hair grows out of shape really fast, and when everything looks out of proportion, the hair's got this tendency to look like helmet! Yucks! I dont fancy walking out with Helmet head?

Yet it makes so much sense to keep my helmet hair on, til i'm done with the exams, coz i'll be stuck at home mugging half the time anyway.... Haha. But i'm still having a hard time resisting the urge to drop by Blitz.

Anyways, i couldn't figure out if i should keep the hair short, or attempt to grow it back long again... Short hair's getting kinda boring, and unless i dabble in some asymmetric cut... i seriously doubt anything interesting will be happening to the hair soon... Yawn...

lazy day!












Insomia seems to hit me, whenever i'm cooped up at home all day. i'll get so restless, that i can't seem to sleep, even when i know i'm tired.

Being bored, i made my first attempt in making French Toast at 3 in the wee morning. Both Da and i (She mugging for her Accounting exam which was due today, while i was just plain bored) couldn't figure out what went wrong with my french toast..


They look burnt, but tasted soggy.. the middle of the bread wasn't filled with the eggy goodness, So much for french toast ....

I stayed up all night, trying to read up the Marketing Research Textbook by that Zikmund guy, and the remaining time was spent playing the Macdonald's game.
click
here to have a go at the game.
So far, i've managed to survive til the year 2027, before becoming Bankrupt, and getting fired. Haha!
Addictive game it is... i decided to accompany mommy to the market at 7 in the morning, for breakfast, and to purchase stuff from the smelly market. (yes, i'm such a sweet and hungry daughter!)


There was quite a drama over at the food center...
with a puny old indian woman at the drinks store as the leading lady, she was yelling and yelling at her competitor, a chinese man. Apparently, from what i gathered, she had a territorial agreement with the chinese man prior to the drama that unfolded this morning.

To cut the story short, the woman was unhappy that customers were ordering drinks from him, instead of her, especially when their choice of table happened to be in her "territory".
The woman started yelling at the man, when he came over to collect his cups, and was on the verge of hitting him, if not for the intervention from the neighbouring stores. Simple conflicts, but she went ranting on and on and on and on for the next 25 mins. Such a ear sore.
While i trudgingly ate breakfast. Silly commotion, spoilt my appetite, and be rest assured that i wouldnt order drinks from her ever again....

Well, I finally managed to fall asleep at 11 in the morning! How pathetic is that?!
The rainy weather is definitely great, and i slept on and on and on....til it's 7! Ta da! Dinner time! Opps! So much for my attempt to complete Marketing Research by Sunday.

Feeling wonky and spacey, i'm trying to sum up all my "concentration", to try finish up Marketing Research. But i guess i'm one of those with lousy determinations...
Haha..

Mazda!















There you go! A really back dated picture of the Mazda! Figured that i should be fair, since i posted pictures of the Bora, so Mazda gets the same treatment too!
So much changes has been done to the car...but according to the boo, showing an old picture of Mazda would prevent potential stalkers from victimising the car and banging me down (for people who hate me i guess" ...Errrr... whatever that's supposed to mean. Yup, so there you go, me posing with the pig that Zoe presented to me for Christmas, and my "funky" Loreal Competition hairdo.

complains




























Im so bored!!
I've been trying to study study and study. But if you ask me.... there wasn't much progress to boast about.
Seems like...the rest of the world is studying thrice as hard as me..and im still rolling along like some dead beat car without a battery. Bah!

I've been progressing alot with my sleep though. *wink* Haha! and the hammies are following my lead.. they can sleep in the weirdest position, like using the running wheel as a hammock, and hugging the food bowl as a pillow! Those pictures were taken when they were still babies..

They're very much huger now, and we're suspecting that Tiger Lily might actually be pregnant! Oh gosh!
And the scabby on my knee is rather distracting, with the usual scratching and prodding and scrutinising... moisturising helps with the itching though...

In case you're wondering, i fell while i was rushing off to MOS many Days ago..
The fall left holes in my stockings, a sore spot and gave me a slight limp. It's reduced to a scab and bruise on my knee, and i guess a scar to keep eventually, and the itch to bear with temporarily. =(
I know i'm accident prone, but i can't help it...would just really appreciate that major ones would stay away.. haha.




I've managed to meet up with Rong Jun after what seemed like years (yeah, 2 years in truth),
We met up at the Black Canyon along the stretch of little eateries at Serene Center, had this majorly spicey Tom Yam Soup with rice, then ran over to the Ice-creamery place and had Baked Alaska & Muddy Mud Pie Ice Cream cakes....and rotted our time away outside Macs for a really long time (coz it was raining).

i went out for supper at Holland V later in the night with the boo boo, and had my favourite congee from Crystal Jade. *smiles & beams about* Nothing beats eating yummy supper, when you're hard at work studying!

I've been wanting to shop, but there's nothing much on my shopping list to conquer, and the weather isn't making things any easier for me...

Like now! I'm supposed to be meeting mommy at Far East for dinner and alittle shopping, but it's raining like we're trying to flood a pool the size of Singapore! Arhhhh!! My shopping trip's either going to be ruined, or it will definitely be delayed.

Oh well, i might as well go get ready, sit around, and wait for That Rain to be smaller, then leave the house.

assorted updates





I've been S-L-A-C-K-I-N-G!!!! I haven't been a good girl...coz i haven't been close to even touching any books/notes.
Just purely the thought of studying...

Hmmm so what have i been doing?

Let's see...
For Starters, happy 26mth anniversary to the Boo! =)
Then there's the Stairway to heaven VCDs (all 20 of them)that i've just completed..
And No way! im not satisfied with the ending of the show! WTH...these Korean soppy shows always have soppy and sad ending..where the female lead always ends up dying.... whatever happened to "and they live happily ever after" ?? Bullshit! Wasted all my tears!


We bade the VolksWagen Bora farewell, and welcomed the ugly Peugeot307 that boo's brother had chosen.. The car that's filled with lots of happy memories... the car that i sat in, when i went for my first and subseqent date with him (Leonard. not his brother!) Hey, that's not all... i like the look of the car, the color of the car, and the interior!!! It's such a pretty car! Just look! Such pretty color coordination! I'm gonna miss the little red car lots..

Ate supper at River Valley Prata just the other day, and i must say that they have one helluva yucky mutton soup. It stinks and tastes weird and it cost 6bucks! yucks! My poor Boo ended up with a bad tummyache the next day. Please avoid Spize's mutton soup.. Unless u really need an MC somehow..

There's the movie: Insider Man, that i've watched yesterday..definitely a good show..Shoo! go watch!

Finished watching Brothers Grimm the VCD over at boo's place (we're supposed to have finished them while in Malacca..haha!)

Met up with boo's friends for dinner and we headed over to Raffles house to "have a look" at his Xbox 360, (now we've got someone who's itching to buy the 360.....and i wonder who?)

Met up with Zoe to shop for Ange's birthday pressie on Tuesday,


Attended Ange's birthday party today...it's fun!!! all that sabotage going on.... *phew* I left unscathed





And Finally, found the chance and time to bring Zoe over to Villa Bali, to enjoy the ambience that i've been rattling on and on about . =)





The cocktails were rather delicious! It's been a good week so far!
That's about the end of my assorted recollection of my days so far

Guess for now, i'd better start studying really soon. =(

random ramblings again


Now that projects are all over and done with for this semester,
I'm working hard at getting a life, before i start slogging for my approaching exams!


I went blading at East Coast today with my beloved boo, and it's been an exceptionally long time, since we last bladed, and i must say that my pretty little blades are squeaking with delight! (erm actually...i think it's the lack of movement that caused the ball bearings to squeak! la di dum..)


On thursday, i Went singing with Linda at KBox Cineleisure in the night, and we had a rawring time singing for 5 hours!

while we were at it, I sneaked out to TCC which was situated downstairs, and bought us 3 slices of cakes! They are - Choco Charlotte, Ole Ole something, and Oreo cheesecake, drinks from Cheers ( the cashier took an awfully long time to clear that snake of a queue), then snuck up back to Kbox to sing!

Then shopping on friday with Selene, then MOS with Zoe,Kenrick , Cae, Ivy, Eric, Kang Wei, and Kangwei's friends and many other who what nots,
it's definitely not the happiest clubbing session that i've been to, coz MOS isn't as "happening" as what it's supposed to be, the music sucks, and the atmosphere there just didn't feel right. Too much weird people around, if you ask me...
I very much prefer hanging out at zouk, where there's at least a hint of "prestigeness" in it, and i'm actually thinking of attending Mambo this wed. Hope the usual are going. =)




With mommy notworking, im being fed with nice, home cooked food for the time being, haha! There's the yummy chicken wings that's sitting in the fridge, the beef stew i had for dinner, the chicken porridge, spaghetti, and that overwhelming mushroom soup that turned out rather nice.

I'm glad to be stuffed like a glutton!
The wonders of having a cute adorable mommy at home! *grinz*

foot fetish!



Selene was on leave on friday, so we decided to paint the town red!!! Ho ho ho!
We decided to explore Far East, and she bought a new poofy bubble dress, which i thought made her look extremely cute, and a pin stripe berms that came with this uber cute belt!

I saw yet another pretty pair of black heels from Parade at Far East, but they ran out of sizes. Bah! you could just envision the disappointed look that i had on my face..Went on to Mondo, saw a pair of retroish peeptoes, but it didn't have a particular cut at the side, which i thought was necessary, so i kinda gave up on that too...

Determined to lay my hands on a pretty pair of black heels (peep toes to be exact), i went on to Gripz, and the remaining shoe places over at Far East. With nothing that fits my expectations, i decided to head on over to Wisma, after Selene left for school. I fancied a few over at Pazzion, Wisma, but they too seem to have gone out of sizes. Argh!!

About to go mad, i decided to give Marina Square and Citilink (VNC) a try, and guess what?
I bought myself that pair of Pazzion peeptoes at Marina. I love the glossy leather look, combined with the asymetric cut at the side of the heels, and little details, and the heel contrast that complemented with the rest of the look. It's gorgeous in its own unique manner.
Boy am i overjoyed!




My pair of VNC wedges that i bought weeks ago. Just didn't have the time to load it on. Yes. It's shoe fetish this season. Coz bubble skirts (it's ok, if you've got nice legs and the height ot carry it off..im talking about those who resembles fat dwarfs here) and victorian laces are too overwhelming to bear.

It's too gross to be wearing anything that flows with the mass, not that im being snobbish, or "i dress better than the others", but the thought of it, is just too gross beyond words. Urgh! It's like an army of clone. where's the sense of individuality that everyone's supposed to have? what's with the "mass-tige"?

Think of the rebonded craze, the mini flouncy skirt trend, that just kept going shorter, and shorter, no matter how flabby their thighs are, showing off thick legs that are comparable to tree trunks! Urgh! Im sorry that im feeling bitchy tonight.

And just the other day in school, i saw this fat stumpy thing "sashaying" in her new wedges that just didn't seem to fit well/balance well... it makes me feel... sorry for her. Bet she stopped consulting her mirror and her eyes ages ago... sigh.


I just had to say it out, to make myself feel better. keeping all that bitching contained was just too much for me to bear. Oh well.

deep thoughts

Finally, we're done With Employment Relations project.
Working on 2 projects for this module, it really got me thinking....

Do i really want to minor in Human Resource? After all, it's prerequisite, ER, is such a bore, that i have absolutely no interest in it at all.....

Ben asked me a question earlier that left me pondering...

" have you given much thoughts to what you wanna do, after you're done with school and all..?"

I shrugged and thought about how i used to be so god damn bloody sure of myself. So sure until the line between confident and cocky is thread fine. I knew exactly what i want, and everything i did seem so right.

Yet, the longer i am stuck in school, the more my "sureness" seem to be evaporating.
i no longer know which direction to take, and neither do i know my destination.
Yes, i feel like a lost child wandering aimlessly.

Somehow, this sureness that i used to possess suspiciously mellowed off as i get older...probably together with the naivety factor, i'd supposed.

I guess i'll always be able to come up with a million and one reasons to explain for the lack of "sureness" somehow, but which is the right explaination, that i wouldnt know...

To reward myself for the hard work that i've invested into ER, i decided to take a really long nap, and to dye my hair purple.
So i've got a tinge of Ribena purple on my hair, and i like it. But the dye has bad color fastness, and it's staining my nails badly. Gotta wear gloves to wash hair, how pathetic is that? Haha.

I realised that im hooked onto Lifehouse's song -- Come back down. Nothing in particular to the lyrics, but just the melody. Been humming the song for days, and it's only a matter of a few more days, before i get really sick of it.

Life has been monotonous for me... it's definitely lacking of fun and thrills.
I've resorted to project packing up room, to make it more interesting.... i've been neglecting the "hygiene and appearace" of my room, as i've been really busy with school and etc, and it's disgusting how dust actually multiply and clumped together really fast, ( i thought i vacummed them all away just in January, and now they're back!) like germs (yes, bimbotic i may sound, but who cares?)

The irony of shifting my hideous shelf back to my room, just to make space for my mess of notes and textbooks. It took me pains to lug it out to the balcony, then mommy moved it to the study, and now, it's back in my corner again. Sigh.
I can always disown it when im done with school =)

Next assignment would be History of Management Thoughts, and im already dreading the thought of opening up the book. It's due on the 4th or 5th, and it's already the 2nd. I'm so dead, and yet im procrastinating..

Argh!

Zoe said to party together soon, before exams commence... I wonder if that notion will ever surface?

Yes, and i am in need of a pretty pair of peeptoes or heels. nothing seem to be of my fancy.
Though im eyeing on a few from ASOS..but shipping costs sucks!






Those ribbon heels looks so so pretty. Saw a similar one from Kate Spade. OOh!im Going high on shoes! =) (guess shoe fetish is one cheery factor amongst the monotony...)
