of geekiness and lomography

Was fooling with Crix's nerdy glasses while making our way to zouk! It's fun and Da had a go with the glasses too! Hurhurhur!
It's funny how a few people from the Salsa scene seem to have the idea that Da and i dont seem to be very close as siblings *frowns*
WE are la, just that we probably dont have to smooch and hug alot to show people that we're close, after all, we're both very independent girls who have our own uber busy lives to lead.

Hurhurhur.

Back to the subject on glasses, i think i look better without glasses la (duh!)
*
Lydia and I at FarEast, experimenting with my lomo fisheye!
Hurhurhur! I'm trying to experiment more with the fisheye, and i cannot wait to lay my hands on the sparkle lens!
Using the fisheye lens on my Olympus camera, i took a picture of the wardrobe..
and another random shot of my side table..
I'm not quite thrilled with the effects yet though... ;(
Shall work harder on taking cooler pictures!
and til i find the mood to narrate timbre's adventures (i might not though!), we'll wait around for more pictures to make their way into my computer.

Updates from mid August

Since i've finally found a sleepless night to housekeep my computer, i've found random pictures that i have never gotten around to posting!
Here we go,



My half hearted attempt at Casino school, where i've mastered the art of cutting and proving chips and to fan out a pack of cards!
I've since dropped out after lesson 2, because I figured that juggling work, salsa, casino school, sleep and my leisure lifestyle is taking a toll on me.. so goodbye casino school!
I was supposed to be a Black Jack dealer! So cool, but oh well!
We have a cute shot of her royal highness! She's been throwing quite a bit of tantrums lately, demanding for treats, attention and dont know what else la. Tough to please, and i've taken to ignoring her most of the time.. But gah! She is still a cute furry eye candy anyway!
The cute doggles that has taken residence at the shop unit downstairs my place.
She's soooo fat, and stumpy and cute! Whenever i see her, she's usually sad because her owner left her in the shop when he goes home to sleep. Poor doggles..

Lyndith and I were working at the Singapore Recreation Club on National Day, and i caught this on my camera phone! It was so exciting, because Lyndith was just describing to me the how the planes would create a heart shape smoke thingie, and suddenly it happened right in front of my eyes! I was hopping with joy when i saw it! Hurhurhur!
The management at the SRC were really nice to the both of us, and offered us lots of delicious food ( we decided on "sampling" the laksa, char kuay teow, satay and roti john) ! They even cooked extra food for me to packet home! I brought supper (satay, char kuay teow) home for the momsy and the bro to savour. Superb!
Not forgetting the fireworks - but i'm too lazy to load the fireworks pictures, besides the pictures didnt turn up too well anyway.
Lydia came back to Singapore, and she got me this Juicy Couture slippers in awesome green, and a pair of very lady like floral earrings!
However I am actually more pleased with spending time with her, than anything else.
I do miss my Bestie alot! She is like the Twin that god forgot to give me, and it is just amazing that despite only meeting up once a year, we still have so much things to talk about, and everything felt as if we were still in Design school! Ahhh i miss my days in design school!
Those were probably the best days of my life (if I were to say so la...) Hahahha!
Lastly, we have a picture of my stripey horse, the zebra!
I saw this little fella at the Zouk flea market, and to my horror, it cost $10!
I refused to pay $10 for a stuffed horse, despite liking it very much, and so after battling my way round the flea market, and whining alot to Lydia, Adi and Crix, we have decided to go back to the Zebra store to haggle again!
This time round, Adi managed to negotiate for $8, and being stingy, i insisted that the zebra should cost no more than $6!
After some "squabbling" between Adi and I, the stripey horse became a present from Adi! Yay!
So Horse horse! is mine for keeps!
Yay! My best bitching friend absolutely rocks la! Hurhurhur!

Holland Village mania: Olio's, Baden baden

Girls Night out in July 2008

Venue: Holland Village

Attendees: The usual suspects - Cae, Zoe and Daphne
Agenda:
1) Attempt to prod cae with a fondue skewer
2) Enjoy the sugar rush, and orgasm that chocolate is said to provide.. (Haha)
3) Headed over to Baden baden for more booze, and to encourage Daphne to be crazier than her norm..

4) Add some fist fight to liven the party
5) Attempting to improving our gold digging skills ala camera whoring
Hey! I'm getting better at it, as we progress!
and *poof* the other two transformed into pig noses. Gah!
6) Chicken wing tasting - The Baden baden chicken wings are "to-die-for" so exclaimed the staff. Well I am always happy when there is good food around. One of the better wings i've tasted, but not to die for la! 7) To transform Daphne into a trolley pushing/grocery shopping slave!
*awww* just look at my awesome but dismal expression!
- The End -

Pictorial updates of a mambo and prom night movie

In case you're wondering, I am very much alive and well, and i haven't died from over savouring my Babi guling (since it was my last post in here.. hurhurhur!)
It has been a busy week for me since my last post, and i shall try to update pictorially as usually. *beams*

Finally managed to get hold of the pictures after swapping our thumbdrives on Saturday!
We have a picture of Zoe and i ions ago at Mambo on Wednesday!
Since it has already been soooo long, i can barely remember the exact chain of events, except for the fact that we did alot of walking. :S


Ericia, Myself, and Zoe!
Random picture of them playing the 5, 10 guessin game, of which i refused to participate in, because i wanted to go dancing! Hehehehe..
Group picture!
Post zouk/supper, I came up with the bright idea to fool around the bridge..and here we go..
emo bridge walking shot!

cam whore with bench - i'm never happier to see a bench after an entire night in heels!
with tree..wtf! Hahah
*
Working for the recent Guinness 9 ball event, one of the welfares that the girls were entitled to, was to dine at Harry's after work everyday! Food there is yummy, and i found out that the prices were affordable too! Consider this a freee advertisement to Harrys - because regardless of which branch i'm stationed at, i can count on the staff there to be uber friendly! Everyone, including the bosses, managers really make me feel as if part of them, except for the fact that i'm merely grazing through.. you could call it fantastic service, i guess!

Zoe and I stuffed ourselves silly with dinner from Harry's before heading over to town to meet up with Daniel, Cae and for more food over at the Royal Copenhagen some many nights ago, and while waiting for Cae and Daniel to arrive, a very bored Zoe made me match my facial expressions according to what she calls out, just to kill time!
So here we go..Retarded! She refused to send me the pictures of her doing her random expressions... but trust me, this is only the start..it'll get better! :D
and a picture of me, taking a picture of her. *laughs*
And finally, Daniel and Cae arrived after a long wait (after our crazy cam whoring, my bowl of Lobster Bisque soup, a hot pot of tea later), we have Daphne posing with her dessert together with Daniel's main course!
I had honey date pudding (standard has dropped since..), and Daniel's shooting star open face sandwhich!
I'm always a happy girl when it comes to food! Yay!
We ventured over to Cineleisure after dinner, and we have Cae in the picture with me.
She's my uber branded queen la. She arrived towing 2 huge Louis Vuitton shopping bag. Tsk tsk tsk.. spend money again!
I was trying to watermark the pictures, when i realised that i kinda fancy her LV belt! It's quite a simple and classic design, but i highly doubt that i'll be able to bring myself into the shop to buy that belt. Hurhurhur...We'll see. :D
Fooling around again before we headed to watch the "infamous" movie, Prom Night that i blogged about a few entries ago..
Rwarr!

BFF's back!

Yay! I'm having Babi Guling for dinner tonight! :P~
It's been at least a year since i last ate it!
Adi came back from Indo yesterday, and delivered the highly coveted Babi Guling from the island of Bali, Indonesia over to my place! Not one portion, but 3 portion can? Woots!
He also passed me some Nivea products, as he'll like to stress it's from Beiresdorf, Germany, not P&G! ok loh.

Over dinner, a round of drinks, 2 hours of pool game, and supper, i bitched non-stop about what happened over the past 2 weeks la! Yes i do miss my best friend!

Pool session was pretty good yesterday night, and i could not stop raving on and on about Alex Pagulayan while playing. Most importantly, i've improved! Not tremendously, but i've definitely improved.
It is also quite stressful to play under the eyes of those random observers from the other table.. But nonetheless, i'm happy with my progress!
*
took a nibble of my dinner (mom's heating them up now)
It's yummy!

Distractions

I seem to be going off track in recent weeks over trivial matters.
and i'd say that i have been alittle disappointed with myself for being easily distracted by the external environment.
However, i'm determined to bring myself back on track and take it as a good break, afterall distractions are meant to make u sidetrack from the original intention and to examine from the unusual perspective that you probably wouldnt do on a daily basis.

So i would say that it's been a good holiday, where u learn to tackle things from a whole new perspective. Wow wee! Things do happen for a reason. *smiles*

Being busy with work allows me to buy myself the time to look for a job that i truly want,
and hopefully it'll all be worth it, and that i wont get all comfortable with my current life and just settle for the second best.

As like how someone would like to remind me, i havent gone very far from where i started off a year ago, and that really made me angry.
Yes, i may not have done and accomplished anything with a flourish and a bang to show to all, but to tell me that i haven't moved very far is really mean. It hurt quite abit to hear that from him, because i know i have progressed a long way since i last stepped out from the " pretty snowglobe" world.

It's as if he's telling me that i have been very disillusioned with my personal progress, or that i simply thought too highly of myself (No i'm not that obnoxious yet).

On the contrary, I have never been more disciplined with myself when it comes to routines, and tasks that i dread, and it was especially evident while i was studying for the exams.

I haven't been ridiculously late for important meetings, and i've brought my monstrous temper in check - and it's almost as if i've got no temper to speak of anymore, and like a welcome doormat everyone's stepping all over me, rubbing shit and whatnots onto the mat, before moving on. (that's probably an exaggeration, but i've definitely been a nice kitty even to people who pisses me off big time).
*
Distractions aside, i'm bursting in excitement about possible opportunitieis and developments that i'm afraid to say it aloud for the fear of jinxing. Grrrr

Meet my new haircut! Not much of a cut, mostly just trimming - so that i will stop looking like a shaggy little sheep dog.

Crash, Wham, i'm up!

Life's amusing no matter how routined my days can turn out to be.
I was rudely woken up by a loud crash today!
Apparently mom was nice to unknot the curtain, so that the sun wouldnt get into my eyes!
The newly unleashed curtain took a wild swing along with the wind and wham!
My fan fell to the floor, my stack of post-its scattered on the floor, and my ipod nano box missing! I had to crawl up from bed and put everything back into place, run downstairs to look for my nano box (warranty and installation cds are in it), and the box is still missing after making 2 trips down for a search! How can?!
Can the wind really hurl the box so far until it's out of the estate?

Well that's certainly a new way of waking up to... a new day, isn't it?

Anyway, with Da back from New York, im kinda glad that there's someone that i could talk to to maintain my sanity.
The last few weeks was insane la!
With Da and Adi both away about the same time, my anchor support group was gone!
Quacks and Ben were really busy with their life, a.k.a Work, so they claim, and it was just me, the mother and the toilet contractors and alot of Zoe, daniel and Cae (thank god!).
Life is soooooooo bad man! I lost count of the number of time i could have broke into tears just out of sheer frustration caused by boredom and mother tension!

Thing is, Da's back with loads of shopping, and i've got cute skeleton rubber wraps for my keys, thongs, cute jumpers and cosmetic from NY!
And she also said that i shouldn't have wimped out on getting that new earhole. Bummer!

Adi's due back on the 4th! Yippers!
I'm sooooo looking forward to my Airflown Babi Guling from Bali, and all that other bonus stuff that he's is gonna bring back compliments from P&G! Hurhurhur!
I'm actually looking forward to bitching more than anything else, and just based on the number of sms alone that i've sent to him today... i think Mr Wibowo is gonna cry when his phone bill comes along! - what to do, that's the price of being my Best Bitching Friend.
I am an expensive friend la.
Besides he's like the rare few who takes all my complaints really seriously, even if it's just a misplaced strand of hair. Hahahahha.
*
Seriously, everyone's taken their chance to travel but me.
Da went to LA, then Desaru and now New York and back,
Adi in Bali/Jakarta,
Zoe's left for Hong Kong this morning,
Crix, Alan Rachel and Marieann left and came back from Bali already, and even the ever busy Quacks had a short trip to Bintan loh!
What about poor me??

No one's free or got enough spare cash to go with me. Gah!
Not forgetting how picky i can be when it comes to company.

good crabs chips tooth

Here i am, sitting around, hoping that blogging would be the activity that would cause the least damage onto my freshly painted nails, because I've already ruined my right ring finger from my trip to the toilet :(

I once asked Audrey what's the secret to keeping ur freshly painted nails safe while waiting for it to dry...and her answer to me was "sit still lo".
Wha! I just cannot sit still and do nothing!

I'm like a super fidgety girl la, everyone can probably vouch for that!
Gah!

And my left eye's been undergoing some very persistent twitching at the lower bit since i woke up on Monday, and it is already wednesday! Grrr! and im not superstitious - i refuse to believe that anyone's going to die.
*

Now that bathroom renovation is 90% completed, I spent tuesday accompaning mom to Ikea to get bathroom accessories, and i'd say that the loot we brought home wasn't too bad!

The ikea trip inspired me to clean up and beautify the house alittle, and i went about to do some paint touch up for the bathroom ceiling that looks like it's abt like it's rotting - the aftermath of a malfunctioning leaking heater that made me fear for my life everytime i take a shower. Well that got replaced during our recent bathroom renovation, so now i shower in peace!

I also hung up my new shower curtain, because the old one didnt survive the renovation, and went on to clean up all the dust bunnies that miraculously gathered at the corner of my room. Reorganising the shelves and my bags, i now realise that i've forgotten quite a bit of my precious bags that i used to bring around in the past! :D
*
Was messing around in my room (well so much for packing up) and i was called out for supper!
ZS was whining over the phone about how he hasnt seen me for the longest time, and so.... they (Zoe and ZS) made Kenrick come pick me up for supper.
It's been so long that i last saw ZS and Kenrick, that i almost forgot how funny ZS's wisecracks can be.

We laughed our way over to Uncle Leong's coffee shop for crabs at Ang Mo Kio, and i tell you, the crabs are totally TO DIE FOR la! I was consuming the butter sauce by the spoonful, and that got Kenrick and Jared pretty amused. Aside from the butter crabs, the Crab beehoon soup and their famous fried tofu tasted decently delicious too, cept that the favourite dish of the night would be that butter sauce that i kept slurping!
Everyone kept asking me if i wanted to take a last mouthful of butter sauce before we leave, or if i'd like to bring the entire plate home to lick it clean. -_-"
But yes, i like it THAT much. hurhurhuruhr.

In the car, Jared suddenly became very very very quiet, and suddenly declared that he think he's chipped his front tooth! Everyone turned over to stare at his teeth, and OMG! It's tragic and yet sooooo funny! A corner of his front tooth is gone!

Everyone started laughing in the car, and Zoe was like asking ZS and i, if we have any dentist to recommend to Jared. Tragic tragic.

Well i think the crabs are to die for because they are soooooooo good, and meeting Jared for the first time, he chipped his tooth over crabs, i'd say that good crabs chips the tooth!
Hazardous good food!
*
I think it's been more than a good whole 5 mins, my nails are unscathed, except for the few holes caused by the impact of the keyboards.
I think i'm fated not to have beautiful nails la :(

Dark knight and Guinness 9 Ball Tour

Talk about perfect timing, i spent my later half of monday having relatively bad cramps.

With the usual shiver, cold sweat and feeling weak enough to die, and not forgetting the cramp itself...
I missed the 5.40pm drinking session at Emerald hill between Cae and Zoe, missed the dinner at Crystal jade korean restaurant with the 2 ladies + KL and Daniel, but made it in time for the movie Batman - The dark knight, which was supposed to be the highlight anyway.

After last Saturday's movie - Prom night, i really couldnt ask for better!
Christian Bale is still charming,and eye candy aside, i really enjoyed all the Bat gadgets used in the movie!
*
I've been pretty tied down by the Guinness 9 Ball Tournament event for the past few days, and it's been really quite exciting to be working despite being physically exhausted from all that smiling and standing!

As usual, pictures are every where in everyone elses' camera but mine, and i'll require lots of time to consolidate them.
So far i've only gotten picture from Sally's camera, and poolkhakis.com but they'll do fine for now! Zoe hasn't found the energy, time, or mood to load up hers, and i'd say the bulk pictures for the past 4 days is still in her camera loh.

Yiling and i

From left to right, Yiling, Sally, Daphne and Evonne
Left to right, we have Lyndith, Daphne and Evonne
Must at least take a picture of myself with the guinness backdrop, and so here we go, Daphne in her Black Fox uniform. This is like my new favourite uniform! Heeheehee
Evonne and i were tasked to be wall flowers/ vase as part of the prize giving ceremony.
I was incharge of holding the trophy, while she holds onto to the mock cheque of USD 15,000.
Well that gave me the opportunity to sit in for the last match between Alex Pagulayan and Dennis Occolo, both from Phillipines. I was secretly rooting for Alex because i think he's friendlier! He bothered to smile and say hello to me, when we met face to face at the restroom during break time.

Given the opportunity to sit through the final match and watched it live with the table and players right smacked in front of me, hahaha, you have no idea how deadly accurate Alex is.
His control of the ball and ball placement is amazing, and i have no clue how he actually did it! The ball is like SUPER Obedient and intuitive - for the lack of a better description with words.
Alright, i shall stop swooning over my new pool idol, but i found THIS!
You could either load and watch it here, or click on the link above to navigate over to the ESPN website.

Video clip from the ESPN, Star sports featuring Daphne as the "vase" in the back drop. I smiled til i can smile no more.... and my cheek muscles were wavering. and that's about all for now.

*inserts Big Smile*

Prom night the movie - a hilarious horror.

Today's probably one of the most hilarious horror movie that i've sat through.
Met Cae, Dan and Zoe after my event for Guinness 9ball, for dinner, coffee/tea, drinks and movie.

So happened that Cae's caught most of the movies, leaving us with only 3 movie choice - P2, Wedding daze and Prom night. We were deciding on the movie choice of Wedding daze and prom night (based on how it sounds, with no freaking clue what each movie is about )at the queue, when Zoe had to be on the phone with Benny, and Stupid Benny just had to highly recommend Prom night to us, telling us that Prom night's a mix of comedy and romance. Awesome!

While i was cheering for wedding daze, we eventually settled for Prom night.
I swear my heart sank when i walked past the prom night advertorial prop - a cardboard cupboard hiding a knife. Sigh doesnt quite seem like the "mix of comedy and romance" that Benny talked about leh. *eyebrows*

Seriously la, i hate to watch cheap thrill movies with minimal story line that is constantly punctuated with cheap suspense. Entire show left Zoe and i huddling in a sad corner shrieking and hiding behind a shawl for comfort. My goodness! Cae and Daniel had a good time watching us instead of the show. Thinking about it again, just caused a series of uncontrollable laughter from me. It is so funnny, because through out the show, i kept turning over to Zoe and said "Kanasai" (meaning "like shit" in dialect), peppering with "stupid benny", and "argggghh!"

While Zoe kept swearing that she'll have a heart attack soon.
I cant decide which is scarier, us grabbing each other when in suspense, or the suspense of the movie, with me constantly muttering stuff like "if i were the lady, i would be wiser and not enter the room to get myself killed". Well i am wimpy when it comes to muder and gory movies.

We were really noisy throughout the movie, and I broke into bouts of uncontrollable laughter the moment the movie ended. I just couldnt help myself. Hahahhahaha.
I laughed myself to the restroom, and Zoe called Benny up to scream at him. She was in a half crying, half angry voice when talking to him. Tonight's just so funny for me.

Cae and Daniel kept scaring Zoe about someone lurking around after she's done washing her face. OMG, you should so see her expression and the way she kept cursing and swearing.

I'm so tired from all the working, laughing and catching up.
Bed time soon, and shall upload the pictures from Guinness 9ball event soon!
Night!

relaunching my earhole

On a whim and fancy, i nearly gotten myself new ear holes!
Then 2 minutes later, i decided that i was alittle too old for silly thrills like this.
Besides i've always been quite a wimp when it comes to pain, needles and blood, and this time round, we're talking about the bony parts of my ear...
i've decided to squirrel out of it.
The shop fella and zoe kept egging me on.
Sigh i do have rather enthusiatic people surrounding me!

Well well, i'm nursing a ear wound nonetheless, as free piercing services came along with those surgical steel heartshape studs that i've selected (its after all the only ones that doesnt cause my skin to react), so i thought to myself, why not get that half closed earhole of mine fixed up?
After all, the only reason why it became half closed was because silver earrings were making me itch, and it's too symbolic to let it close up. Gah.

But we'll leave the granny stories for another day, ya?

Cute wednesday and Doggles!

A new pet grooming shop sprang up at my place!
Momsy came back from her dance lessons and told me about 2 cute little doggles being groomed in the new shop. Being pesky and nosy, the bro and i ventured downstairs to take a peek!
Hurhurhur!
Im shy to venture into the shop to play with the dogs, and i've seen cuter dogs around.
*
Aha! Was helping Jackson to check stuff on the school portal and i discovered that i actually have my very own school email account! Since when did that happen?!
Even Weirong (who's still in school) didnt know about it when i told him on msn la! Damn proud discovery!
my school account is zlee003@sim.edu.sg (have not the slightest idea why there's a 003, but zlee is definitely initials!)
So amazing right?! I'm sooooo tickled by it la.
But please dont mail me stuff there... coz i've only got a habit of checking my gmail, i dont have THAT much time to check 3 accounts aday. Just one would do.
*
Hanging around the canteen during lunch time seem to be my latest fad.
and it was great seeing old friends who're still in school, as i try hard to convince people to join salsa - especially for the guys who seem to think that salsa is for sissies.
In fact they are sooooo wrong! That's where they meet all the hot girls who can dance la!
Hurhurhurhur!
*
right, heading off for dance prac soon, and my new brown eyes arrived by post today!
My wednesday has been amusing so far! Yay!

pool and random rattles

I met Ben for an imprompt pool session today! :D
Bugger told me that the reason why he's out is because Carbal server is having maintenance! That's right, I feeeel sooooooo appreciated as his friend right now!
Better not get me started on my long list of complaints!

Pool session was wonderful today!
For starters, i hurt my foot when i opened the glass door. It does look like a minor scratch, but it hurts even 9 hours after! The edge of the glass door took quite a chunk of my foot and now i am afraid to take a bath!

I later ended the game session by injuring my right pinky finger while i was packing the pool balls into the ball platter. That instant throbbing pain was to die for, and i left the place with a swollen pinky.

Well whining aside, my progress at the game was not too bad today though. I think i'm actually improving (after 4 months!)!
*dabs tears that glistens the corner of my eyes*
After all that $ that i've invested into my new found interest, i'd better improve!

I insisted that i should get a video of Ben doing his thing, and I am also secretly training to learn how to execute that amazing break, so that when Adi's back from stirring pond in Bali, i can.... Muahahahaha! ... Show off. Lol.



Well i'm easily amused, and its always nice to learn new party tricks what.
*
The Best friend forever phone!
Hahaha, as if!
He bought his at a whim and fancy, and i got mine because of another type of whim and fancy.

But i think that mine's still prettier! At least from the back! :D

I Dropped by union after dinner to fulfill my weekly social dancing quota (because gary said so last sunday), and it's already been a habit to drop by with Ricky, Chen Mun, Natalie, Adi and a few less constant others at least once a week.
Constant practising seems to be the only answer to improvement!
As i am after all still pretty far from my own target that i set at the start of the year, and i am definitely NOT a quitter. Hurhurhur.

While waiting for the arrival of the others that came from Studio, the early birds decided to camwhore!
Audrey cut off her long hair and now sports a very chic bob, and it makes her look so cute! Now we have similar hair length, only that her hair's tamer and chic-er than mine, while i continue my love hate relationship with that pesky curl.
So happened that we're both wearing grey pants, and our first pair of dance shoes, and they happen to be glittery gold! Think back, it feels as if it really wasn't too long ago since i first started Salsa!
But OMG! It's been 1.5 years already, and i'm still dancing like a dork. Sigh.
Lastly was fooling around at the underpass exit before i catch my last bus home!
Turns out that... i missed the last 174 home, and had to settle for the next best last bus home and walk alittle!
What to do, i'm learning to be cheapo and frugal now because i'm on project cut back for my own good. Not that i can't afford to spend, but it's time that i learn to manage my funds better.

On a side note, my beloved blanket is finally back from the wash, and i'm looking forward to bed time! You'll never know how cold and clammy it's been for me, for the past few days! I didn't even dare to turn on the air condition.
I kept shivering, even after a long hot bath, shivered on the bus when i had my jacket on, shiver when i drink water, well u get the shivering idea, and i might just shiver myself to death! (Choy! choy! choy!) I'll like to attribute my very weak physical state to the lack of proper and comfortable sleep.
Yup, so it'll be a good night tonight!

xoxo

Being an ENFP truely.

I was about to sleep, when i realised that momsy beat me to it! ARggh, and she will so not be thrilled to find out that i left the working men alone to their own devices - Not that there's anything valuable around anyway.

Since i was in school earlier, i decided to drop by my beloved locker of 4 years, to clear my stuff away! I chanced upon some empty Myer Briggs Type Indicator test that was left behind (usually my kind ones like Robin or Mr Tin tin, who collects lecture notes for me when i'm not around). Besides i've always taken the personality test online... so why not fill up the hard copy version just for kicks? I thought to myself.

Well turns out that i'm through and through an ENFP still.
The Extraversion, iNuition, Feeling, Perceiving personality.
Googled for a few intrepretations, and most of the description traits seems to fit me like a Tee, and it kind of made me clap in glee and amazement!

The ENFP is often linked to key words like inspirer and visionary, and some of the write up can be found here and here as well!
Heeheehee!

photoshoot #1

The house is currently going through a slight renovation, where we have old toilet floor tiles being hacked away, coupled with drilling, hammering and squeaky sound. The combination gave me a headache, and all these will last until (hopefully) thursday, and we're talking about a very very small toilet.
I guess i'll need to find programs and activities to stay away from home like real fast!
*
I woke up really early for a photoshoot earlier at Sentosa, and i am feeling really zoned out and sleepy now. Unfortunately for me, i have to try to stay awake to supervise the renovation alittle, whilst the mommy tend to her toilet time.

The photoshoot turned out to be pretty fun, and it was not as tiring as i have expected it to be.
Posing in the the sand gave me slightly sore knees and elbows as i kneeled and elbowed in the same pose/position for a good long time. I am definitely looking forward to the pictures, and i hope they look as nice as what i previewed on the camera LCD. Heeheehee.

The entire process was cut short by the heavy drizzle, and i headed over to school to help out at the Salsa recruitment booth in school.

Saturday
I went on a last minute shopping spree to get Cherri a birthday present, before heading over to her party.
I had a horrible time fretting about her present, and after much thought and debate, i decided on an Agnes B Key chain - after all, who DOESN"T need keys? Hehheh.
Here we go, the package that's holding her keychain..

the key chain/ key ring itself!
and a little something that i bought for myself!
Meet my newest little bling, the bag charm!
For convenience, i decided to use it as a wallet charm to match the G-star wallet that i had for my birthday! :D
They look pretty cute together! (that's what i call self deception, biased perception, and a warped female point of view) John reckons that i'm obsessed with my new bling toy, because i kept transferring the bag charm from my bag to my wallet! Hahahha!
I actually saw an exact version in gold with green embedded crystal that reminded me alot of Audrey. But alas,i'm not rich....if not i'll sure get that for her.

I call this the antique gold with violet crystal B charm!

It's definitely a splurge, but it has been a really long time since i last bought myself something nice, and because i was not impulsive, the lightning series that i really fancied were gone in a flash! (hahha, yup pun intended)
So i'd better hurry up buy the second favourite bag charm la! If not later regret again, and how people always say that life is full of regrets?
I'll think that the more one hesitates, or adapts the wait and see style (ie discount, sale and what if something better comes up ), the more regrets there will be to life. This theory applies to both shopping and life! Hurhurhur.

Fooling around in the estate toilet of Peach Garden!
Before we left Cherri's party, Audrey wanted to go toilet, but the toilet door of the stalls were really short, exposing alot of the head and legs. woohoo!
So i pretended to pee, and made Audrey take a picture of me looking surprised.
The short door discouraged Audrey from her toilet business despite my constant reassurance that i wouldn't sneak a peek.
Meeehh, But she does not trust me, and only went back when i started talking to the boys outside the toilet. :(

Post party, i was making my way out for supper, when i chanced upon Mr Big and Mr Small snail!
So cute right?! I've always made a conscious effort to avoid stepping on snails, because i think they are kinda poor thing. Imagine, they've already tried their hardest to slime quickly to their destination, but oops someone stepped on them and next thing you know, they are dead. :S
I've always got this huge urge to yank them off the ground and fast forward their destination by 10cm or something! Hurhurhur.... but what if the snail was actually in the midst of doing a U-turn to change direction, and after a hard day's effort of making direction change, i brought them back to square one again?! Not quite sure if im helping them or harming them, so i've decided to refrain from messing around with nature. Gah, this is getting too Random eh?



Mom's out and Hair's dry, im heading for a well deserved nap!
Oogy Wawa!

Escalator!

Friday
For a day that did not start off too well, my day ended better than i'd have expected! Firstly I met Zoe for my dinner/her supper, and had a good chat! It's been a long time since that the 2 of us had time to chat so much without the presence or interruption of other friends!

On our way to deciding on our next undecided destination, we chanced upon Ruyi, Fel and their other friends at Macdonalds right outside Lido! Meeting the girls is like adding rainbow sprinkles onto my happy icecream!
I last saw them was like 2-3 years ago in school, and i am thrilled to see them, after all it is always nice to see a friend doing well, beaming and radiating happiness... aiyah, dont quite know how to explain that, but we spent a good time catching up! :D

Zoe decided that she needed soup, so instead of Clark Quay, we headed over to Cineleisure for Borsch soup, meal #2.
and on our way there, she suggested that we play with the escalator!
Hahahha! I havent done stupid things with her for the longest time, and it's really quite fun!
While we were at it, we've met about a hundred drunkards, a lady piggy bagging another lady down the escalator, some lady boys and foreign women escorting their erm "partners" to where ever.

Doing our silly things, i really miss our good old days, where we were both were still in school, exploring the most random things ever. Now that our different directions and commitment in life gives us lesser time and energy to rot and do imprompt stuff, it really makes our silly memories cuter. I realised how much we've both grown up (not physically but mentally and emotionally?), with so many stupid laugh and cry situations that we shared.

It's probably like the escalator. Life is full of ups and downs, but if you stop and look around, you'll realise how much you've missed out on or forgotten to appreciate, in your quest for the motion (rat race) in life.

Yes, i'd say that Miss Lee is feeling particularly philosopical tonight.
