只能用努力来补偿自己的不足.

自己一度陷入低潮, 生命变得好乱, 没方向感及没动力...

I don't know what to feel....

I need an outlet to release all my pent up anguish, disappointment and heartache I've been feeling over the past few months...

now I truly know how it feels like to lose something that's very very dear. My throat has been giving me problems since the beginning of this year, and when the doctor diagnosed it as a normal inflammation, I thought nothing of my situation. But over the months, I do feel the difference in the condition of my throat as compared to the past... frequently having dry throat, and it gets sore easily from eating heaty food like chocolate and durian, when I talk loudly, and when I SING...

I went for Karaoke today, and my mind just blanked out when I heard myself sing. Why am I sounding like this? why can't I hit the right notes? why is my voice like that? These were all the questions running through my head... I felt like CRYING!

Dear Lord, I do not ask for much. Please, please do not take away something so dear from me. I need my throat, I need my voice, because singing is something I know very best that I enjoy doing over anything else.

RANDOM FB MOMENTS ON A BORING DAY

Superman has found a street to his name in Dim Sum land... poor dude is suffering from the terribly cold and windy weather now...

and this....... sums up my life as a student in RP back then, HAHA!

it has been about 3 weeks into my holiday and boredom has started to kick in, camping on FB and Twitter have seem to turn into a daily affair, and of course, the drama queen in me never dies. I actually managed to finish watching 3 drama serials in a week, amazing much? haha! I was pretty amazed by my own ability to stay in front of the laptop for such long hours every day, i guess it's time to invest in some eye supplements, LOL!

I also took some time to plan for my vacation trips for this year, and I find myself being caught in a serious dilemma =/ Sydney or Korea??

Korea has been a place I've wanted to visit over the past few years, not to chase idols-.- but to go for some great shopping! I guess over the years, brands like Etude House and The Face Shop has indeed managed to get themselves rooted in Singapore. I'll be able to get the same products at like half price in Korea?! Having been watching Korean variety programmes lately, I can imagine myself in Dongdaemun shopping the WHOLE DAY as well, HAHA! what's more, family and friends are seriously planning for a trip this coming June!

My primary school friend has been asking me to pay a visit to Sydney year after year after year... we always find ourselves talking about what we will do if I get there, however, after all these years, all these thoughts have remained as thoughts, HAHA! let me see, she migrated over there in 2002, so it has been 8 years since she fist asked me to pay a visit but I've yet to do so. Furthermore, we'll all be celebrating our 21st birthday this year, so the few close friends have been telling me its a good time to go over for a road trip together and enjoy the winter in June together... JUNEEEEEEE!

it's really very hard to come to a decision because I wish I could be in both places.. Greedy as I am, I know I can only choose one :( I was all for Korea just 2 months back, but now, I think I'm swaying towards the road trip, HAHA!

FRIENDS, YOUR SUGGESTIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED ^^

my friends were teasing me, that 2010 was an "island year" for me as I visited Krabi and Bintan... and they say it seems that I've planned a "city year" in 2011 with intentions to visit Sydney and Korea, HAHAHA! oh well, if this cycle repeats itself, hopefully I'll be able to step foot on Maldives in 2012! :)

2011-01-19T21:29:00.003+08:00

SOME TIMES, JUST SOME TIMES............

I feel like I emphasize too much on inter-relationships with people around me. So much so that it hurts me when people whom I hold on dearly to make me feel that they don't actually care.... Maybe I'm too sensitive (I can't expect friends to ALWAYS be there, wherever, whenever), but being brought up in such a way where I'm taught to always be there for other people, that in life, kinship and friendship is very important, it stings on my heart when I don't see my friends putting in effort to keep the friendship going...

one thing my friends always tell me... "eh, you don't angry leh", SERIOUSLY, next time you guys have that thought again, I'm telling you now, I'M NOT..... I'm not angry, I'm just upset... upset that a little bit of your time can't be taken up to meet up with this old friend of yours... upset because I'm someone who truly, seriously, wholeheartedly care for whomever calls yourself my friend, but I don't see that reflection in you.........

Maybe time has changed, and I'm not living up to it.... perhaps I'm more suitable to just live in isolation, haha....

~~SCHOOL'S OUT! ^^~~

with the blink of an eye, one trimester has came and gone just like that... it was pretty much of a whirlwind over the past 3 months... picking up a totally new field of study, making many new great friends, having lots of assignment to rush, meeting deadlines, mugging for examinations, attempting to adapt to all the changes going on all at one go, and most importantly, learning to live my life without having to depend on Superman for every little thing...

A sudden change of tempo to my life after leading an idyllic one for almost a year was not easy to cope with, but after gaining momentum, I realized this change is definitely worth the while :) I truly enjoy going to school now... gone with the Genevieve who used to dread going to school every other day, HAHA! One of my lecturers once told us to "follow your bliss", at that moment, I just thought to myself, "I think I've found mine already"... I've no regrets taking up Psychology!! ^^

I've a good feeling about 2011.......... it's gonna be a good year ahead! :D

2010-12-27T10:55:00.002+08:00

School's been pretty nice to me so far, despite the sometimes crazy assignment deadlines, having to hand in everything in the same week and the pretty screwed system at times.... Met many nice people in JCU... it's thanks to them for making uni life a less taxing one :)

and also not to forget, funny lecturers to spice up the ever boring and dry lectures, haha! just look at what my dear lecturer wrote on the board on the day of sociology mock exam -.-

it's amazing how time flies.. one trimester has passed just like that, and it's time for us to start mugging for our final exams... it feels like yesterday when I just stepped into the school building at 600, Upper Thomson Road... lol... all in all, it's time to fight the inertia and get my engine started to prepare for this final lap, jiayou! :)

2010-12-26T12:24:00.001+08:00

HO HO HO! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D

Spent my Christmas with the dearest poly mates at Studio M hotel this year :) it was something novel as it's my first time in 20 years stepping into a hotel room in my home country, haha! had lots of fun and had our great share of laughter throughout the night, welcoming boxing day with our arms stretched out wide, lol!

We were quite surprised when we stepped into the hotel, ready to go check in. What greeted us was a long line of people, waiting to be checked in as well.. recent trend of Singaporeans celebrating festive seasons in hotel?? HAHAHA!

spot the stairs? this is the mezzanine concept of the room, where the bed is located directly above the entrance...

girls talk-ing the night away :)

the bed's so comfy and nice, we started our mini "photoshoot" session, hahah! now i know what it feels like to be a star... TIRING! period.

a shot from downstairs...

group photo! attendance in check, haha...

the guys who always cracks us up :)

With Christmas having came and gone, it's now time to embrace the New Year with open arms :) I had a good 2010, and am looking forward to have a blast in 2011 ^^

2010-12-05T17:07:00.002+08:00

it started out as a joke as my friends and I have been talking about the audition... Given the itch of the moment, I went ahead to register for the audition, without thinking much of actually going for it when the time comes...

but when I received this e-mail from the entertainment company.. i started to think a lot... yes i signed up for fun because I know I do not actually stand much chance at it... When after reading this e-mail... it got me thinking again...

should I go and give it a shot?

should I just forget about it and just concentrate on my revision....

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

DILEMMA ! =/

Jang Shou Korean Charcoal BBQ @ Esplanade Colours By The Bay

met Onew sao on Wednesday, and since we were at City Hall, we decided to go for some fine dining at the Esplanade. Being quite a pro-Korean ourselves, we decided to have Jang Shou Korean Charcoal BBQ ^^ we knew that that restaurant was rather pricey, however, thinking that since it's so pricey, it would have something good to offer... how wrong were we=/

First major disppointment: I was quite taken aback when I came to realize the menu was only 4 pages long... WOW, what a spread they offer-.-

Second major disappointment: With the already limited spread they have to offer, they further restricted our choices by stating that customers have to order at least 2 BIG portions of BBQ meat if you're opting for a BBQ dinner. Since is was just Onew sao and me, we went for the soup based korean noodle hot pot instead... how do you expect 2 GIRLS to finish 2 portions of meat? -.-

Above's the picture of what we had for dinner. Ingredients were aplenty and the noodles were tasty, a pity the soup was lacking in flavour =/

my only consolation for dinner that night was the spread of side dishes. Thankfully the kimchi was crunchy enough to save the day of an otherwise not so wonderful dinner. The cold mushrooms was what I loved best, with a faint frangrance of the mushroom which wasn't too strong to my liking :)

All in all, i guess it was lesson learnt for the both of us. Expensive does not equate to good food, haha! thankfully the company made everything fall right into place ^^

2010-09-28T16:11:00.002+08:00

당신이 누군지 정말 세상을 보여주고 싶은!! ^^

好想把你炫耀给全世界认识啊! hehehe :D

A Wanderer's Life

In the blink of an eye, half a year seem to have came and gone just like that. I've graduated in Feb and have been waiting for uni to start since then... Over the past half a year, despite not being in school, I guess it's still a rather fulfilling year having picked up quite a few things...

One by one, I slowly picked up things which I wanted to learn and did things which I wanna do. After about 3 months of lessons, I've managed to get my driving license which I've long wanted to get but always procrastinated in doing so due to my laziness. I've also managed to pick up Korean- a language which I've keen interest in. It's really a sense of achievement to be able to read and write Hangul in just half a year. This I'm proud of myself ^^ Next language which I want to pick up- MALAY :D

For those who know me well enough, should know that I'm someone who can't really stay still in a single place for too long, therefore, I've gotten myself in and out of a few different jobs over the past months. Job switching was indeed a good exposure for me, due to the different work natures, I've gained quite a lot from each different designation, things which can't really be taught from lectures and textbooks :)

My first designation since graduation was Community Development Executive with People's Association. I had the opportunity to have lots of interaction with residents, grassroots leaders and even the MP. In my opinion, this is by far the most satisfying job I've ever taken. Yes, I do admit it's very tiring with the odd hours of work, countless ad-hoc duties to undertake and also to act as a bridge between the residents and PA. But it's truly satisfying each time I close the case with residents feeling happy and thankful for what I've done for them.

Of course, what's life without some fun right? I've met wonderful colleagues at Bishan North CC (well, a couple of horrid ones as well, HAHA!) it's always party time with the youngsters whenever boss is not around^^ Ordering pizzas for dinner, buying more than 10 cups of Koi each time, endless amount of tidbits at our work station, happy hour and karaoke session after work. Seriously, all these little things really made working there less tiresome :)

Shortly after I left PA, I went on to work in the annual COMEX IT Fair. It was yet another kind of experience for me. Having to be very familiar with the product I was dealing with was no easy feat. Took me quite some time to familiarize with everything just before the roadshow started. It was also physically draining having to stand all day. IT fair is always like a madhouse, and I'm glad I've survived the madness, HAHA!

Last but not least, I went on to work in a call centre at SPH. This is by far my first time working in such an environment. Turnout for the project we were handling was bad, hence, we actually didn't have much to do at all during these 2 weeks. Yes, I've gotten the essence of how a call centre operates and was taught how to handle difficult customers through the minimal calls we've received, but still...... oh well, the pictures will tell you more about my job scope, HAHAHA!

this is how a typical call center girl looks like- with headphones on.

this is basically what keeps me entertained throughout the day- FACEBOOK, TWTTER, YOUTUBE :D

TIDBITS to munch on when we're feeling bored

and lastly, this is what a typical desktop wallpaper looks like with the result of having a shared desktop, LOL!

a word of serious thought, the last job at the call center was rather disappointing in terms of exposure that I'm getting. I seriously think I'm too intelligent for the job I'm tasked to do -.-

All in all, it's about time I did a closure to the kind of wanderer's life I've been leading, and be prepared to head back to school in end October :D

I'm glad this year isn't a futile year for me...

2010-09-25T22:45:00.002+08:00

just here to share something meaningful I read off the net with all of you :)

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?

During a seminar, a woman asked a question. She said, 'How do I know if I married the right person?'

Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind.

Here's the answer.
EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fall in love with your spouse/partner. You anticipate their call, want their touch, and like their
idiosyncrasies.

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to do anything. That's why it's called 'falling' in love... Because it's happening to you.

People in love sometimes say, 'I was swept off my feet.' Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened to you.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother, touch is not always welcome, and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, 'Did I marry the right person?' And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could.

And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because:

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll never just happen to you. You can't 'find' LASTING love. You have to 'make' it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression 'the labor of love.' Because it takes time, effort, energy, and most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know what to do to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do to succeed with your marriage. Just as there are physical laws of the universe, there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship will make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... you can 'make' love.

Love in marriage is indeed a 'decision'... Not just a feeling.
Remember always this:

"God determines who walks into your life.It is up to you to decide who you let to walk away,who you let to stay, and who you refuse to let go."

Had a short getaway to Krabi- Thailand with the group of buddies from school recently. Krabi was simply a breathtakingly beautiful sight to behold. It is indeed good to have such escapades to leave the hustle and bustle behind to rejuvenate oneself once in awhile :) I love the pace of the lifestyle there. The people are really nice and friendly, and it's so laid back that you don't have to worry about anything. To think that I couldn't bear to leave that wonderful place on our last day, hahaha! I believe words won't be enough to describe the beauty of the island and the wonderful time I've spent there, so I shall let the photograph's talk on my behalf ^^

Met everyone at the airport at 6.30am in the morning! we woke up early but we all didn't seem tired as we were unable to contain our excitement for the trip, LOL! had breakfast together and checked in shortly after.... Our flight to Thailand was a rather scary one due to the heavy rain that day which lead to a lot of turbulence and we had an on flight delay of about 2 hours before we reached Thailand.

after reaching Phuket, we took a 2.5 hours land transfer to Krabi... Such an irony, we took a total of about 6 hours to get to Krabi, but our journey back to Singapore was in less than 2 hours as we took a direct flight back to Singapore from Krabi Airport instead of flying from Phuket Airport, HAHAH!

We didn't do much on our first day as it was raining pretty much the whole day, so we

just explored around our hotel area and shopped around.

We travelled around in the oh-s0-famous tuktuk to places such as Susan Hoi, Krabi Town, and Tiger Cave.

the beach at ao-nang, which was near where we stayed.

Tiger Cave. We had to climb over 1000 steps to the top of the mountain as the temple was situated on top. It was the place which took my tolerance to a new level at climbing those endless steep stairs and also a place were I found out I was actually I very brave person, HAHAHA! It was quite eventful at the Tiger Cave as we got attacked by monkeys. Thank goodness the local guide came to our rescue timely... all that went through my mind at the moment to monkey was about to pounce on me was "INSURANCE!" hahaha! Despite the whole monkey episode, I was glad we went there as the scenery was splendid when we were up on the mountain...the moment you see the vast land from up above, all my lethargy from climbing the stairs disappeared :)

Lae Lay Grill is another must visit place if you're in Krabi. This dining place is actually up the hill and it has the beautiful sunset and vast sea as the backdrop, a truly romantic dining place. The food was really nice as well.

Taking speedboat for Phiphi Island tour!

soaking in the ocean :) this is my first time snorkeling, and I never regret trying it at all. The underwater world is truly a sight to behold. Really really beautiful... Looking at the different kind of fishes and corals, it was just "WOW" ^^

oh! we also celebrated Peiyi's birthday while we were in Krabi :) hope you liked the little surprise we had for you babe!

this is the beautiful view from our hotel...

Krabi, I'll be back! :)

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO YOU, NICHKHUN HORVEJKUL!

HAPPIEST 21st BIRTHDAY SUPERMAN LEE JIAN LONG :D

nothing describes how thankful I am to have a friend like you to be there by my side in RP :)

2010-05-22T12:37:00.003+08:00

Finally, a day I can pig out till the sun rises up to my pi gu! ^^

It has been a rather fulfilling week, because I've officially started work at People's Association as a Community Development Executive, being posted to Bishan North CC (Toa Payoh- Bishan GRC). A small void deck CC it may be, I was totally deceived by it... There is actually a whole pile of work to be done, to think I had the idea I'd have a good life being posted to such a tiny CC, haha! how wrong of me...

I'm lucky to have met nice people in PA so far... My first friend in PA, Wei Lun... we spent half a day trekking around Redhill, spotting condoms on the road, just to find the Cisco building to get our security pass done, LOL! Wei Lun!!! pls pls pls pls pls request to attend the same induction as me, else I'd be so bored without a friend.... lol... My colleagues in PA are wonderful as well :) There's James who welcomed me with a present for first meeting, Andy Koh and Andy Ng who were very helpful and patient, teaching me the ropes to the operations of the CC, Jonathan and Sherlynn who are ALWAYS there go crap with me when work gets boring, Kamisah who happens to be my neighbour, fetching me to work if we're on the same shift, and Mr Tan who's so quiet but smiles every time I call him Uncle Tan, LOL! With such nice colleagues, what more can I ask for right? haha....

Not that I'm complaining, but as my parents said, work is never easy... having to work on 4 afternoon shifts straight a week, ending work at 10.30pm is no joke, super no life =/ I'd be so tired when I get home I just head to sleep after reading the newspaper, and then when I wake up, it's time to head back to work in only a few hours time... oh well, I shall just hang in there, after all, this is good experience hard to come by :)

Hoping for the uni letter to come soon, so that my "experience" can come to a closure, HAHAH! =X

2010-05-14T18:59:00.003+08:00

Happiest Birthday YAN DAO aka Kevin! :)

Tuesday

went back RP for badminton... and then Peiyi called to ask if I was free to meet them later at night to celebrate kev's bdae.. Being the nice friend that I am, I agreed to go meet up with them despite feeling super lethargic ^^ haha!

It was just a simple get together, chilling and eating the night away... First up was to Maxwell market for supper... after supper was conquered, we headed over to Marina Barrage... It truly wasn't the perfect time to be there, because the weather that day was out to kill! not a slightest hint of wind and it was a truly HUMID night... but oh well, the wonderful company made it up for all the complains I had :)

oh! on the side note, I do notice that Kev has the potential to be a future F1 racer with more nurturing, hahaha! what a thrilling ride with endless acceleration like nobody's business, LOL...

Wednesday

It was the BIG DAY- Graduation Ceremony :) In the blink of an eye, 3 years have simply came and gone... It just feels like yesterday when I first step into the school, but in fact, 3 yesteryears have already brushed past. It was pretty much a mix of emotion during the ceremony. It marks the end of one chapter in my life, however, it also indicates a new beginning to greater things...

My student career in RP may have ended, but the wonderful memories this wonderful school has given me, I'm thankful for it... These are priceless memories which I will look back on few years down the road, I'll be smiling, because I know that I've been there and gone through it :D

Daddy and Mummy :)

the 3 guys I'm feeling very thankful towards, always helping me out in my studies. Without them, Genevieve will not be getting the results she has today ^^

FYP MATES with our co-supervisor, Mr Soh Lai Seng. The people whom I went through thick and thin with! be it struggling to meet deadlines/ demands, or out having a crazy time enjoying! :)

the girls whom I had fun with...

finally, the group of die hard buddies whom I treasure deeply ! :)

I'll miss.......

skipping classes

arguing with a teacher

playing pranks on clueless students

drinking bubble tea, eating ban mian/ western food/ waffle/ nasi lemak

mugging in the library with the buddies

chiong-ing fyp with the 5 of them

training in the sports complex

heart-to-heart talks by the poolside with Chua, when we're supposed to be at training instead

having supper at kopitiam opposite school after training with the badminton mates

the FMTs, PPTs, and RJs

and many more :)

2010-04-26T22:59:00.002+08:00

REBEL AWAY ^^

met up with the usual party kakis last Friday at Rebel... I used to type away, talking about all the pictures we took, the happenings in the night, but now, I realised, partying is starting to get stale =/ yes, it was still fun having a crazy time with friends, drinking alcohol induced juices, practicing the wonders of eye contact with total stranger, exercising to thumping music and stuff... but then again, what's new?

I think I've already grown out of that phase, which is good, very good :) I'll start living a healthy lifestyle again, be kinder to my liver and my own health, haha! however, I'm not saying I totally regretted partying the way I did in the past, because it has made me see through many things as well... different faces of a person can be seen under the influence of alcohol... and witnessing some things which goes on in the club, taught me to better protect myself from unwanted situations...

to girls our there who parties- remember to treat yourself well, and protect yourself from harm. Learn to say NO!

goodbye, bright lights & loud music.

2010-04-14T12:42:00.000+08:00

Serene and I went for a haircut yesterday, and I'm currently spotting a new hair colour as well :D you will know what colour it is if you meet me, haha!

Met up with Serene the day before yesterday for dinner as well and passed her her belated birthday present^^ had our dinner at Ichiban Sushi- the place we always have cravings for, haha! Went for Karaoke after dinner, and it spells SHIOKNESS~ just the two of us, singing to our heart's content.. to those who always itch to hold the microphone, this is the perfect time to go KBox as they are having a promotion right now till the end of May, where you can sing at just $8 nett! good deal, real deal, hesitate no more :)

waited for him after our karaoke session and walked home together... it's been long since the last time we walked the same path together and I felt I was being transported to few years back, haha!

2010-04-11T00:08:00.004+08:00

What's the best thing in life? To me, to have this special group of friends who will always be there to stand by me, be it good times or bad, are the best things which dawned on me :) Had been spending the past few days with them, namely to celebrate TK's 20th birthday, our full day trekking trip at the Zoo and Night Safari, and our supper date at ECP...

TK's birthday celebration part one was done at Vivocity where we had a simple dinner followed by lots of chilling and photo taking at the open space at the roof garden...

the few of us headed to the Zoo and Night Safari on TK's actual birthday, and it was the day I had the most fun in a long time :) yes, it was tiring to be trekking 2 parks in one day, but time seemed to pass in the blink of an eye with them around. oh! did I mention the 5 of us actually went to the Kid's World at the Zoo to splash some water with mostly kids below 10 year old at the water park?! hahha! It was initially quite awkward as most parents were looking at us, but we just went ahead and had our fun, aiming the water guns at each other and kids passing by, haha! LEGEND~ it was also a trip with multiple eye candies and cute commentator ^^ why on earth did I quit my job at Wildlife Reserves =/ haha!

I strongly recommend people who haven't visited the 2 parks in a long time to give it a go, a lot has changed and the shows are actually rather good and entertaining now :)

Kelvin has finally decided to drive us out since he got his driving license! We drove over to ECP for supper at Carl's Junior and walked around the beach after the meal:) had lots of fun that day as well, cracking up jokes, singing and dancing in the car to pop Korean hits, non-stop laughter, haha!

I was kinda reminded of those days where Weili or Zhi Hong would drive us out for supper and fun over the past vacation we had, it was so much fun and I really missed those days... prawning sessions, supper at Geylang, eating tau huay at ECP on a Valentines Day, and the list goes on... ALAN TAY! are you reading this?! haha..

true friends are hard to come by, hold on to them tightly, and learn to treasure the precious bond :)

2010-03-21T23:30:00.004+08:00

Went to support Andrew at the Cleo's 50 Most Eligible Bachelor's Party^^

I must say, the party was sensational and steamy with so many eye candies and hot bods to ogle at... haha! it was a very enjoyable night, and credits have to be given to the host for the night- Hosen Leong... This guy is LEGEND, his hosting and entertaining skills are divine, his quick thinking and sharp sense of humor managed to bring the atmosphere up by a great deal, haha!

Segments after segments of the event simply got hotter and hotter... from jacuzzi dipping, to oiling topless bodies, to lap dance, to STRIPTEASE, hahahahah! Simply put, it was a great night out, but a pity I didn't get to take pictures with Parker Lam and Chris Peterson, Andrew! what are u waiting for?! send the business card over to my phone, LOL! ^^

striptease

there you go, haha!

Viv. Dawson and myself... friend, continue to charm on with that killer smile, LOL!

Andrew(Jason's best friend) and myself(Jason's sister) HAHA! remember to teach me the secret technique to you-know-what the next time we meet! :D

Xinyan, we both set eyes on the same hottie, Chris Peterson! ^^

Jason and myself... Step into club with my brother, cool or what? HAHA!

Serene and myself... look at the cup of saliva I'm holding, that's how much I salivated that night, LOL! it was just a joke, cranberry vodka was what was in that cup :)

If bachelor Island really existed, I'd impose a self banish and happily go live in that island, LOL! =X

as always, it remains like that.

I can feel the cobwebs growing on my blog, haha!

I'm still enjoying my LONG holiday right now^^

actually, I'm losing the interest to blog already... probably because I'm very free now, I kinda not know what I should blog about to update my friends about my life currently... oh well, I shall just talk about the few activities with took place over the past 2 weeks :)

First up is Singapore Entertainment Awards- a FANTABULOUS concert! attended this concert with Yvonne, and we both sure did have a good time, enjoying the night with lots of wonderful performance by the different artistes... This awards ceremony is to show recognition to the artistes for their hard work in the music industry, and I'm considering myself very lucky to be able to get myself tickets to this sold out concert because it was truly an ear-opening experience to hear the wonderful singers, singing the songs so beautifully, I even jokingly asked Yvonne if they were lip syncing, haha! but I was proven wrong by a few wrong keys in the midst of the concert, LOL! JJ Lin and Eason Chen, you both deserve a standing ovation :D

Celebrated Jaslyn's 14th birthday over the week as well... Everyone was present to celebrate for the youngest rascal in the family, except Xinyan, who was enjoying herself in Vietnam, haha! and oh, after looking at the photos, IS MY 14 YEAR OLD SISTER TALLER THAN ME NOW?! -.- gosh, I'm so embarrassed by that fact, hahahahahaha...

Met up with the group of buddies from DSCM as well :) Everyone had been rather busy with their own stuff, however, we still managed to meet up for a simple dinner and a little of partying after which... it was good to know that although we've already graduated from RP, we're still being remembered by each other and we still miss each other dearly, haha!

on the side note, I'm starting my Korean lesson next Thursday, and I'm getting all excited over it :) and by the way, driving at night is such a torture for me, zzzz....

2010-03-06T17:33:00.006+08:00

Vroom Vroom.......!

finally laid my hands on the steering wheel today :) First lesson was cool, fun, exciting^^ oh gosh, I sound like a kid getting so excited over her new toy, LOL!

I realised I haven't been updating much since graduation, mainly because I spend most of my days resting(idling), therefore, there isn't much to talk about =/

Resorts World called me few days back, offering me an interview for a full time job, should I take it up? hmmm... there are so many decisions to make of late, and yes, it's getting a bit taxing, because I don't wish to end up regretting whatever moves I've decided to make... I guess I'll take a few more days to decide how to spend the next few months of my life...

I've been rather tired over the past week going through lots of emotions... don't get me wrong, nothing happened to me... Just happens so that I've been doing a lot of reading, watching dramas and listening to music... Doing these actually transports me to another world- a world which I may not be living in, occurrence which I may not have experienced, emotions I never thought I'd experience... and a few of them actually struck a chord in me, making me think a lot, which is a good thing I suppose :)

enriching myself...

2010-02-24T11:23:00.003+08:00

SELF-UPGRADING IN PROGRESS!

I've already enrolled myself for Korean and driving lessons, both of which starting in March! looks like March is gonna be a busy month of me, but yet oh-so-fulfilling... wait! did I mention I will be conquering keyboard in another 3-4 months time? haha.. school's out, but I'm starting to practice the essence of life long learning :)

I've gotten myself a job faster than I had expected, working as a ticketing officer in the Singapore Zoological Garden... I was reluctant to go work initially when I've received that fateful phone call, because it feels as though I've not rested enough, and now, I gotta start working again :(

However, all these thoughts diminished upon my first day of work.. I must say, this job at the zoo has been the most enjoyable and fulfilling one so far^^ Yes, it was tiring to be standing all day, however, interacting with different guests, seeing that the trip has put a smile on their faces, makes my job rather satisfying... and me being a chatterbox, I get to do what I love most at work, to TALK! Time passes very fast at work because I get to interact and talk to the different guest streaming in:) There are also lots and lots of kids who stream into the zoo, smiling and waving at me, really makes my day more beautiful... the only part I do not like is some kids there call me AUNTIE! -.- Other than that, I'm loving my job :)

Enjoying every minute of my post poly life^^

2010-02-17T21:00:00.005+08:00

I've finally finished walking down the road of my 3 years in Republic Polytechnic. I'd describe the voyage as an adventure, an eventful ride...

I've experienced many changes of feelings throughout the 3 years- joy, laughter, tears, anguish, demoralised, proud.... You name it, I've experienced it... It took me quite some time to start on this post to wrap up my years in RP, because many thoughts ran through my mind, and I'm at a loss for words to describe how I feel right now... I guess a cocktail would be apt to describe it... I'm feeling a mixture of everything right now, at this crossroad... I'm happy that I've finally completed my education in RP, yet, I feel kinda sad I'm once again leaving a place which I'm oh-so-familiar with, to a new terrain with a whole set of challenges and uncertainty ahead...

Oh well, give me time to rest and recharge, and I'll be ever ready to embrace what lies in store for me :) because, like the cliche saying goes, life goes on.... since everything is constantly on the move, why not embrace it with a positive attitude?

3 years, many things happened... i had my first times trying new things, learning things the hard way, toughed things out, been in and out of conflicts, been at the top of the world, been down and out... Come what may, whatever happened definitely helped me grow in a way of another...

Of course, with this post, I'd like to show my appreciation for the different groups of people who made a difference in my RP life as well....

W24M, my first batch of classmates in RP... I felt like a little girl in this class, where everyone really took care of me and treated me like a little sister to them... We were rather bonded and life was pretty good with them around, because I didn't have to worry about anything! they will be like my big bro and sis, taking good care of me, haha! They were definitely a good of friends who made the beginning of my RP life much bearable, considering being in a new environment, adapting to a new system at that time...

DSCM MATES, they were a group of real funky buddies I have in RP... As we were being split into our various courses in year 2, I actually spent most of my 3 years hanging out with them, going through thick and thin together, the endless gossips, the endless partying... hey! we're a group of people who study hard, play hard! :)

BADMINTON TEAMMATES, something new which I've picked up in RP, it wasn't easy to hang in there, but I did it^^ I've also made myself many good friends in Badminton, and these are the friends, whom I will really treasure, because such great buddies are hard to come by :) Alan, Serene, honey, Stef hor? HAHAHA! well, besides the names I've mentioned, there were also some others who really encouraged me a lot, and I'm thankful for these god sent guardian angels... There are people like Zhihong and Darryl(HANDSOME YOUNG MAN) to give me tons and tons of encouragement was I was feeling at my lowest... and of course, Larry Chua! the monkey who makes my day, every day :)

finally, my DEAREST FYP TEAMMATES! Nothing describes how lucky I feel to be in the same group as them over the past year, and yes, I'm very very proud to have them as my teammates, to the extent of showing them off whenever people ask who my teammates are^^ we chiong our fyp together till the library closes, we study together when exams are near, we go JB together, we watch movie together, we play together, we even SLEEP together... haha! after being in the same team as them, I knew then, what going through thick and thin together truly meant:) I LOVE YOU GUYS ! MUAKSXS! ^^

the journey ahead remains untold...

2010-02-04T22:59:00.002+08:00

Finally, FYP is over and done with! :D

I'm glad that the project is finally over, meaning all of us can take a breather now, leaving us with the final lap, UT3! Keep up the hard work everyone, our labour will be paid off very soon!

Thinking about graduation, I'm kinda having mixed feelings about it.... after 3 years of studying in this school, many strong bonds have been forged , however, it's the typical moving-on-to-a-new-chapter-in-life phase, where separation is inevitable, is about to happen... What's in stall for me in future? what will become of me and my friends in the picture below??

time will tell.

sprinting my last race! :)

2010-01-31T21:22:00.001+08:00

so many "what if" running through my head now....
i need assurance...
how will the law of attraction work its magic when I don't even have faith =/

2010-01-28T18:43:00.001+08:00

seriously, some "friends" just ain't worth your time... it's so saddening and heartbreaking to admit it, but it's the cruel truth...

2010-01-26T19:57:00.003+08:00

like an old photograph

time can make a feeling fade

but the memory of a first love never fades away

WH.

2010-01-24T23:36:00.003+08:00

Working in the new environment was somewhat interesting, because you get to see many types of people there... it's also good for the eye because there'll be occasional good lookers who pops by, but at the same time bad for the lungs because of the second hand smoke I inhale all night... haha! oh, time managed to pass by fast with Veron around, talking to me almost the whole night while slacking away, waiting to clock out.. LOL! =X

I'm currently awaiting for Universal Studio and MOE to get back to me, hopefully, I get a proper full time-part time job before I get into Uni... haha...

JUST FOR LAUGHS

I asked: "to lead the life you want to lead, or to lead the life other people wished you to lead?"

and my brother's reply was: "it's about convincing people on what you want to do."

"MUSIC HAS NO BOUNDARIES"

I've come to understand more about the true meaning behind this statement. This song (A Friend's Confession) which I've been listening to for the past few weeks made me understand the meaning of "no boundaries". No, it wasn't my favourite pop group who sang the song which got me attracted to it. No, it's not because the band is made of up a bunch of handsome looking guys which got me falling in love with the song. I remember chancing upon this song over the Internet, and the first time it got through my ears, somehow, I was deeply moved by it. I do not understand the lyrics of the song because it was in Korean, but the melody of the song the emotions of the singers were really moving... It has been a long time since I get so affected by a song... Well done [2AM] ^^

I made a pact with myself to master this song, any willing audience out there? haha :)

THE WINK KINGS OF KOREA MEET: NICHKHUN AND LEE YONG DAE <3

OMG! this news totally came as a fairy tale dream to me... I totally cannot believe it when Peiyi told me this afternoon, in the midst of a boring class, and BOOM! it's written on the Internet then both my beloved idols will meet each other for a friendly match.. WOW! and yes, I do know I have wonderful friends like Peiyi, Yvonne and Xinyi who came and tell me this news when it was still fresh from the press :) thanks girls! till now, this news just feels so unbelievable, although photos have already been published all over the net, haha! so why did the both meet? NICHKHUN was actually a school player back then when he was studying in America, and he has admired LEE YONG DAE sportsmanship and showmanship on the court since back then, therefore, they had been arranged to play a friendly match today in the Korea Open Super Series this afternoon... and oh! both of them are of the same age and are totally capable of making girls go weak in their knees with their wink :)

so now you know, I don't go weak in the knees for any Tom, Dick and Harry... I do have my standards, it's being proven :)

the similar traits in the guys I like, how wonderful ^^

2010-01-10T23:58:00.002+08:00

如果我说唱歌是我这一生中最喜欢做的事，
如果我说唱歌是真正的快乐，
人家会相信吗？

talk is cheap, I've always proclaimed the love I have for singing, but yet, what am I doing to move myself closer to what I really want to do? it's kinda saddening, it's kinda humiliating, when I see people like you and me perform up on stage, going for competitions, working so hard to keep themselves in the competition, working so hard to KEEP THEIR DREAMS ALIVE... what have I done? I totally abhored myself when I asked myself that question, because I'm ashamed of myself, for I'm only talk without actions...

why am I so afraid to even take that first step when I'm so brave in chasing my dreams back then? Perhaps, I've grown in my thinking, perhaps, reality sank it... because reality tells me that it takes more than a sincere pair of voice to perform, it takes more than hard work to be recognized... it's the whole package, and I know, I'm no where near the "package" people want...

so I guess, till I'm confident enough about myself, I'll stop talking about my dreams, for I fear people might mock me...

does anyone out there know how I'm truly feeling right now?

2010-01-09T23:43:00.003+08:00

There are so many nice songs in the market recently, but yet, I can't get them downloaded into my iTouch because my dearest laptop companion isn't discharged from the Fujitsu Service Centre yet... hiax... and yes, I'm feeling super sad over this issue- that I can't have nice songs to accompany me on my long journey to school :(

On the happy note, I totally love weekends! because I get to stay home all day and live in my YouTube world of Kpop and variety shows which makes me laugh harder than anything else... and yes, it's also the time I feel so relaxed and peaceful with myself... in the midst of losing myself to the world of Koreans, I've found a new love! and nope, he is no longer a "lee", like finally, HAHA! =X

presenting, NICHKHUN!

This Thai-American cutesy has really gotten me head over heels... he's just totally gorgeous, I'm trying hard to find a video of him which he doesn't look good in, but I can't seem to find any! which is good news I suppose, haha!

deeply immersed in the world of Kpop, this is what I used to call "insanity"...
and, I can sense irony mocking me, haha!

2010-01-07T22:17:00.002+08:00

I feel like a lost sheep, slowly feeling myself move out of my comfort zone.

time to grow once again.

2010-01-01T23:41:00.002+08:00

HAPPY BLESSED NEW YEAR, EVERYONE :)

It's a brand new year once again, 2009 has came and gone, be 2009 a smooth sailing or a rough year for every one of us, it's now time to put it behind us and embrace the new year, because I'm sure, it's going to be a good year ahead- if you believe that it'd be, that is... haha...

so are your new year resolutions set? in the past, I used to think that new year resolutions are bullshit, what's words without action? resolutions to me were like making a wish upon the stars, which meant, how often does it really happen, that's probably because I'm a person who procrastinate all the time, wanting things to happen, but not working hard enough to make it happen. Over the years, my take on making a resolution has changed... Resolutions to me are now like a driving force, constantly reminding myself of what I want to achieve, and working hard towards it :)

Back in secondary school, i wasn't a sporty person at all... I remember always feigning sick during PE lessons to escape the vigorous regime the teacher has set... But on the last day of 2007, I've set a resolution for myself that I would want to dabble in sports after I enter poly, to try something new, to leave my comfort zone... and true enough, I've done it. I'm a proud badminton player in RP and Kebun Baru now ^^ I may not be a truly wonderful player, I may still have much room for improvements, but I'm still happy with what I've achieved, because, it was a huge leap of faith and hard hard I had to put in, before getting to where I am today...

This year, when asked about my resolution, I jokingly said, "to win 1st price in the yearly TOTO Ang Bao Draw, that way, I will be able to fulfil many more resolutions which I have". haha! but seriously speaking, I kinda wanna achieve so much more, I realised there are so many things which I want to work towards to. Firstly, I want to work hard in my last lap of poly life, get good enough results to enter NTU/ NUS. Secondly, after I graduate, i want to sign myself up with a language school and pick up a new language- Korean. Thirdly, I want to achieve a better silhouette, so that I can be a role model to my mum, and let her know that we have to take full responsibility of our own lives, and that it's important to remain healthy, because no one can help her if she refuse to help herself... But ultimately, I want my family and loved once to have a blessed, healthy and happy year ahead :)

a brand new year, a fresh new beginning.

2009-12-25T11:08:00.001+08:00

HOHOHO!!! MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS! :)

had a great time with my friends during our early Christmas celebration... First up was party held at Teck Kwang's place with all the classmates invited over for games and dinner... Headed over to Clarke Quay to meet the buddies for second round of partying and boozing at Rebel after the dinner at Low's place! ^^ it's been long since I partied, because I stand by my principle of "time to study, study. Time to play, play"... Therefore, I always reject party invitations during the school team, but come on! it's the holiday now, the time to let our hair down before the final push till graduation:) and I had a wonderful time with the buddies that night :)

the club light dazzles, and it gets to blinding that I get lost in that darkness...

2009-12-24T23:35:00.002+08:00

Hi folks! I'm back from my vacation, feeling all refreshed and energised from that 5 days of relaxation, fun, makan therapy and retail therapy^^

I remember visiting Hong Kong about 2 years back with Yvonne... 2 years later, I'm back at the country with my beloved family :) this time, it was definitely more fulfilling, enriching and more quality time spent within the short time frame of 5 days... I guess its because this time around, I had better literacy of their language(Cantonese) and did more research and planning before hand, the hard work before the trip indeed pays off well :)

We manage to visit most of the hot spots in Hong Kong.. Just a few to list, we've covered places like Lantau Island, Victoria Peak, night markets, the clock tower, Avenue of Stars(Xing Guang Da Dao), Stanley Market, Repulse Bay and Macau... Although going on a free and easy trip can get rather taxing with all that map reading, travelling and walking around(my mum complained, saying it felt more like army training than holiday, HAHA!), it was definitely a good experience, and we had more freedom and time, not having to rush to meet time set by the tour guide... going at a slower pace, we managed to better absorb the surrounding, capturing the beautiful moments spent there:)

oh well, we took tons of pictures during the trip, however, I shall just upload randomly because I do not have the time to wait for blogger to finish uploading the whole album, enjoy the pictures people!!

the nice view of the city sky scrappers from the Old Clock Tower at Tsim Sha Tsui

doing a jump shot in front of the Clock Tower, wooo!

us siblings :)

the Lisboa Casino at Macau, and yes, I'm old enough to enter the Casino ^^

in front of St Paul Cathedral in Macau with Jaslyn

look how beautiful Stanley is with all the pretty flowers around

view of Repulse Bay from Stanley, beautiful :)

shopping!

the magnificent view of Hong Kong from Victoria Peak!

on the way up to Victoria Peak in the Tram, if you realise from the picture, those people at the back are at a lower angle, because the tram was going up a steep slope, it was practically at 45 degrees angle!!

the Christmas season is here, we can feel it even in HK

more retail therapy, haha!!

makan therapy! :)

Jet Li's hand prints on Avenue of Stars

a wonderful holiday with my loved ones :)

2009-12-17T01:41:00.003+08:00

Alright, time for an update before I leave for Hong Kong this Friday for my long awaited vacation with my family :)

Recent event which took place was a surprise for Ziqi on her birthday itself(10.12.09) in JB. Had this planned a few weeks in advance with Qi's sister ^^ Everyone was present, which was quite a wonderful thing, because Amileen has never joined us when we go JB, finally, she's allowed to go this time around, haha! Qi was pretty upset on that day because we were all pretty aloof to her, and she had the idea that we did not care, and ain't gonna celebrate her birthday for her, and I think I'm getting better at my acting because Qi did not smell a rat AT ALL, for that, I felt so proud of myself.. haha! Headed to JB with my mates, and thanks Jian Long for driving us around to buy cake and then finally to the restaurant to meet up with Qi's family:)

Qi's reaction was classic when she saw us at the restaurant, and she kept telling us it felt like she was dreaming, and I totally regretted not video-ing down Qi's facial expressions at that time, haha! We all had a wonderful time in each other's company, let's hope for many more surprises for each other along the years, lol....

Next up, Melissa's back in town for a holiday! Went shopping with her at 313 and we had a great time catching up on each other's life... Melissa joined my family for dinner and then later headed to my house and we met up with Elaine and Tuan Seng as well:) Quality time spent with them indeed.... more shopping and outings to come with them after I'm back from my vacation!

Yesterday was a splendid, wonderful, marvellous day for me :D Met up with Alan, Serene and Hwee Miang for lunch to see the army boy... Catching up, listening to NS happenings, gossiping, hahaha! time can never be better with them...

I then went over to SSDC after we parted ways for my BTT test, which I've failed the previous time... I was pretty nervous when I sat for the test this time around, although I managed to finish all the questions within 15 minutes, something just stopped me from submitting, perhaps I was afraid it'd turn out badly again, haha.. nevertheless, I just went on the submit and thankfully, I PASSED! :) hopefully, my FTT and practical will be as smooth sailing as well ^^

FYP mates also came over to my place for a stay over, but no, not to play, but to work... haha! we decided to CHIONG our progress since we're either working or travelling during this holiday, which leaves us with very little time to meet up... worked though the night till 4plus before we finally K.O... ahha! it was a....... fun? interesting? experience.. haha!

oh! on the side note, I realised, the guys I've eyes for all have one thing in common, guess what that is? HAHAAH!!!! *drum roll* they all have the same surname: lee! :) will my future husband take that name too? lol... we shall see ^^

LEE Jingki

LEE Hong Ki

LEE Yong Dae :)

2009-12-09T00:55:00.002+08:00

Met up with Serene, Szefong, Min Zhi and Phua on Monday for dinner, followed by ice cream finally followed by pubbing :)) had a great time catching up with them, movie up next on Tuesday^^ friends come and go, but there are always a group of special friends, whom you know you'll always hang on to dearly despite being busy with our own lives... I hope this will be the same case for the many wonderful friendship I've forged in poly :)

on the side note, I miss singing... I miss performing... I miss the stage with bright lights... singing in the pub that day felt great, the feeling from back then came rushing back to my blood, and the applause sounded oh so melodious :D

2009-12-08T20:58:00.005+08:00

When the holiday is nearing, and when the studious cells in us are depleting, this is what we do in class to keep ourselves awake for the draggy lessons, haha! ^^

testing 1, 2, 3.... here we go!

Daniel say I've got enlarged boobs -.-

so much for a monkey face, spoiler has to sneeze at the crucial moment!!! ZZZzzzzz.....

please donate generously, please call 1900-112-3333 :) are we up to it for poster girl and poster boy? haha! =X

the simple joy to keep me going, fighting! :D

thought of the day:

"it's not about what you're made of, it's about what you can become"

2009-12-04T19:52:00.003+08:00

(1) Youth Leaders for National Youth Council

(2) New ITE Associate cum Scholarship Scheme

should I apply?? It'll definitely help me gain lots of exposure which will be very useful for me in future, however, am I ready for the challenges ahead??

In the midst of serious consideration, planning ahead for a better future :)

2009-12-03T23:20:00.000+08:00

Caught Hua Mulan with Ziqi and Songren... The beginning of the show wasn't fantastic at all, I was already quite put off after 45 minutes into the show, because I felt that the director did not do a good job in linking the different scenes in the show together... However, as I watched on, I must say it did turn for the better, some unexpected turns in the story, and it was rather moving, I still think its worth the worth after all :) New Moon up next! ^^

my laptop has died on me, of all times, when I have a test coming up next week... what luck! oh well, I shall make do with the current lao pok laptop I have loaned from school... hahaha...
things have changed, things are no longer the same... Just when I thought its back to the good old days with all the chatter and heart talks, it all came to nothing... I'm so fed up with this shit... quit playing this game alright? just leave me alone...

I wish you were a stranger I could disengage :(

2009-11-25T01:02:00.002+08:00

Once again, LYD shows great form on court, winning both the XD and MD titles in the China Open :) LYD never disappoints... haha! what disappoints me is.... the cable TV in Singapore!!!!! because I stayed home all day, hoping to catch a glimpe of my darling on TV, however, they did not telecast the match! :( sadded, but I still know that he did play well.. :)

2009-11-24T00:01:00.001+08:00

Happy little family of mine, gathered at home just to chill, chit chat around the table, with Rum and Raisin ice cream, Barcadi Coke, and Subway... that's what I call "the simple pleasures in life" :)

2009-11-22T13:32:00.002+08:00

all the encouragements I've received all these while really meant a lot... it's definitely been my driving force to continue working harder and improve to be a better person, be it academically or socially...

yes, I did falter and made some mistakes over the years... but I guess ultimately, everyone do make mistakes at certain point in life, who doesn't? what's important is to learn from them and not to do it again... we've to be forward looking so that we can move on from the mistakes we've made...

after talking to my teacher, I do feel that sense of renewed confidence yet again, to work hard towards my goal :)

renewed sense of faith...

2009-11-17T09:27:00.004+08:00

TAN WEE KIONG WISHED ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY! OMG!

Once again, a big thank you to one and all for making my 19th birthday such a memorable one :)

went for dinner at Seoul Garden with my fellow W24M classmates on Friday after school, and Tekan King came too! had a great time catching up with them, and I realised, we did not have any pictures taken on that day... but oh well, the memory remains.. haha! went to meet a friend of mine after the dinner, that meeting had so much mixed feelings up inside me, but I'm glad, at least I did not make a wrong decision, I suppose...

Saturday was filled with surprises that I almost died of a heart attack... to start it off, I had a simple dinner affair with my family at Bugis, and then headed to town to meet Hwee Miang(she told me she was alone), and when I reached, I saw more people! my secondary school friends whom I've not seen in a long long time... I was surprised, but if I thought that was all, i was WRONG! after settling down at the restaurant, there came YVONNE! she was supposed to be in China for her studies, I was totally taken aback when I saw her! &, I found out later that they conspired against me way before Yvonne left for China, and they lied to be that she'll be back after my birthday, and I was kinda sad about it, because its gonna be the first year she's gonna be missing on my birthday after so many years of celebrating it with me without fail... LOL! and that wasn't all for the day, Zhongjian, Pei Si and Teng Kiat came one after another too... ok, I thought, enough surprises for today... so after makan, we went over to KPO to chill.. we were busy taking photos and chatting, and suddenly, there comes a birthday cake :)

headed home as it was getting quite late after all the surprises unfolded.. haha! I didn't realise Hwee Miang alighted at the same stop as me, so when I asked her how come she alighted, she told me she was meeting another friend, so need to change bus... and then, suddenly she told me she wanna shit, so being the nicest Genevieve, I offered her to shit at my house... hahha! and as we were walking to the lift, there came the last surprise for the day, Serene was there waiting for us!! omg, I was too caught up with my emotions by then, I'm really touched by all the things my besties have done for me :) chilled at my void deck and I had the second cake for the day... lol..

Had a belated celebration yesterday with my group of buddies from school, and they too ganged up and schemed against me... haha! it was definitely a memorable night yesterday, with all the lies, surprise, and "presents".... HAHA! allow me to elaborate on the "presents", they actually had me eat 19 mouthfuls of ice cream cake, and 3 bananas, all after my dinner, my tummy almost exploded from banana overload.. LOL! nevertheless, I still love bananas :)

i so love them <3

i STILL so love them! :) haha!

yet another scandalous pic of them caught on camera. LOL! =X

like wad superman said, this is the best and most valuable present I've received in my life, LOL!

Lastly, tada! here shows the evolution of the ice king breaking the ice^^ a normal shot, followed by me forcing him to do it, and finally, ACT CUTE! woohoo! haha.. I feel so accomplished by the look of it :)

nothing describes better than the pictures do on how blessed I feel to have wonderful friends around me :D

YEA!!!!!!! LEE YONG DAE IS BACK ON THE COURT AGAIN!

finally, after the long wait, Lee Yong Dae has finally recovered from his arm injury :)) he's currently playing in the Hong Kong Open, and will be playing in the China Super Series next week!!! wheee!!! This is such a lovely birthday present to receive, being able to see him on TV for 2 consecutive weeks! :)

I had this sudden craving for lok lok today, and so i told superman "i feel like eating lok lok sia! ta dao for me can?" anddddddddddddddd, he laughed at me -.- thanks!

HAPPIEST 19TH BIRTHDAY LEE TINGHUI, AKA HOT BABE! :))

UT 1 has started! and what does that signal? never ending tests coming my way... There's also an interim FYP report to submit, not forgetting an individual mid term presentation as well next week... SHINGZ! and it had to be at this time of the year where good movies are screening, one after another, but I have no time to catch them!!! RAR! but oh well, let's look at the bright side, there're many reasons why its good to be in school as well:

(1) The weather has been bad nowadays, going to school means I can enjoy air con!

(2) Cheap food in school = save money!

(3) Free flow of electricity to charge my Itouch and handphone!

(4) I have nice classmate like Sin Hwee who'll treat me eat mua chee during breaks

(5) There're wierd people around in school to keep me entertained on an otherwise mundane day!

(6) I can get lifts from superman = i don't have to spend 1 hr getting home!

(7) Lastly, I have my group of buddies to keep me company every day!

What more can I ask for? i'm so loving school.. hahha! =X

2009-11-02T20:51:00.000+08:00

I just realised that the name of my family doctor is Dr. Lan Jian Long.... HAHA!

2009-10-29T23:33:00.000+08:00

the days ahead seems arduous, with project presentation, FYP, and tests all lined up in a neat row... taxing and stressful it may be, but I believe I'll pull through, grow and become stronger from all these grueling tasks... what my facilitator said in class today actually motivated me to push on... he said

"it's through attempting the impossible tasks in life which helps us grow. Just like baby learning to talk and walk, turning an impossibility possible... so, when was the last time you've grown? "

what he said really got me thinking... we really gotta constantly push ourselves to bring ourselves to greater heights... it really put me to shame when I thought of the many things I'd given up halfway in my life... Learning to play the piano, guitar, driving, teaching, singing competitions and I guess the list goes on...

I think I've gotta learn how not to give up halfway all the time, and also a thing or two about perseverance, because I know that I want to be more than a face or name in the crowd ^^

motivated :)

2009-10-26T23:34:00.002+08:00

I'm trying hard to find a way to better express myself so that I won't sound like I'm gossiping or bitching about someone else =/ I have to better manage my vocabulary list, and be aware of what I'm saying just so that I won't have to leave spaces for regrets after making certain statements... I'm still learning to be tactful, and at the same time, convey the right messages across... whoever thinks communication is easy, think again....

getting As for language doesn't mean you'd be good at expressing your flow of thoughts, right Youlong? haha...

2009-10-24T00:25:00.002+08:00

The week is turning for the better, I'm glad :) thanks for all the concern from my wonderful friends, it's definitely made things much more bearable for me...

just when I felt I was at an all time low period of my life again, I'm reminded of what I always tell myself - when you think life is bad, think of what could've been worse. and yes, that statement really managed to help brace me up a little... how bad could life be when I've wonderful buddies in school to keep my laughter going, to accompany me when I'm bored, to make me breakfast occasionally, and to help me in my school work when I need help?

Attended the NUS admission talk this afternoon... After attending the talk, I'm even more determined to get into NUS's FASS after I graduate from RP... let's hope that my efforts will be paid off at the end of 3 academic years! the future remains untold, but I'd like to hold the faith that I'll be able to do it :)

Went down to Fitness First for some working out with Hwee Miang and Peisi after school today...I'm rather impressed by the state of the art equipments they provide, and sauna after working out spells SHIOKNESS!!!

alright, after one whole week of battling with the blues, I'm really tired... it's time for a break, a breather...

When an emotional injury takes place,
the body begins a process as natural as healing of a physical wound.
Let the process happen, trust that the nature will do the healing.
Know that the pain will pass, and when it passes, you will be
stronger and happier.

Met up with besties for a chill out session at Keppel Bay as Yvonne will be leaving for Suzhou on Sunday for a month! Bet she'll miss all of us, A LOT, haha! Settled ourselves at Privé for some drinks when we got there... The bar has got quite a nice waterfront view, and I must say, a good place for romancing ^^ It'd have been perfect if there was live band music to liven the place up a little...

Bid my besties goodbye at around 10plus and headed over to Zouk for second round of drinking with Daniel and Zi Qi! Yes, we were definitely put off by all the nonsense we always get, WITHOUT FAIL, however, it didn't dampen our mood a single bit! :) we had a great time and I love them both! ^^

2009-10-11T15:59:00.002+08:00

Went over to SAF Changi Seaview chalet last night for uncle Bernard's retirement celebration :) before we arrived at the chalet, I had the thought in mind that the chalet is going to be those typical old, rundown, haunted chalets(which is what Changi is renowned for,haha!) but to my surprise, it is totally the opposite of what I've expected it to be... the place is totally beautiful, credits to the renovation and upgrading done just recently.. the place has been given a totally brand new look, and it looks totally different from the chalet I've been to many years back, also at the same place...the only thing which remains the same is the seaview from the chalet..totally awesome, like boomz! hahha!

here's the view from the patio, so nice isn't it? overlooking the sea... it's such a romantic place to be at~

the wonderful seaview from the chalet, no wonder it's called seaview holiday chalet. haha.. it truly lives up to its name :)

it was great seeing them again after so long, but SMU's Mr Manhunt, Mark, was missing in action... poor dude, mugging at home when we are enjoying, bbq-ing away... that being said, we'll still meet 2 weeks later though, for Chong Wayne's big day! :)

Wedding at Orchid Country Club, till then!^^

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY MY BESTEST FRIEND, YVONNE LEE SIN YI! <3

surprised bestie at her house yesterday with a birthday cake at her doorstep.. her reaction was utterly speechless. LOL! dressed in her PJ, already ready for bed, and BOOM! one group of people at her door waiting for her to blow candle.. hahahah... i think she was quite paiseh that she dashed to her room to get changed into something else before coming out to blow the candles.. hehe =X no expensive restaurant and no dressing up nicely this year, just something simple and different to mark the many years of our friendship, many years of celebrating each other's birthday and still counting :)

here are the photos from Saturday's Mid Autumn Festival.... Went back to YCKSS for an event... nothing much about the event worth mentioning except catching up with the good ol' buddies and teachers! :)

After the event ended, I headed down to uncle's house for dinner before going over to Bishan Park as a big group for some lantern carrying with the kiddo cousins of mine! Every year without fail, the big family would get together on this very day (actually, we all meet up every week, haha!)... Indeed, I feel very blessed to have such a big family and all so gel-ed together, I'm counting my blessings :)

但願人長久, 千里共嬋娟 :)

家好月圆庆中秋。。。
但我却在今天感觉到心灰意冷 :(

sometimes, when the person's heart is no longer there, it's no use trying so hard, because they won't even care... how tiring and busy can a person be, unable to even spare an hour or two with their dearest friends... it's just like, no matter how busy you are, you will still set aside some time to rest and eat isn't it?? or perhaps we're just so unimportant that you can feel lazy or too tied up to meet us.. i really don't know...

i'm putting in effort to keep the friendship going, I hope you will too....

2009-10-01T22:47:00.003+08:00

Just a few more days left before the school term starts yet again... therefore, I'm trying to make the best use of my remaining time of the holiday with my friends and family ^^

the weekends was well spent with my family, whole family eating dinner together, then headed to town for some shopping at Ion, and then to McCafe at Centre point, whole family chilling there, chatting the night away :) i think i have a cool family.. haha! CHILLING with parents at McCafe.. how many of you actually do that? LOL!

went to Arena and Butter Factory with buddies over the past 2 days as well... having all the fun and party-ing we can before starting our engines again for school... it was great hanging out with them... boozing, gossiping, ogling and dancing... hehe..

Arena

Butter Factory

supposed to go JB today with cousin and family today, but decided not to in the end and met up with Alan again before he enlists, together with Serene and Hweemiang... had a great time singing at party world today! :) after being missing in action from KTVs for almost half a year now, it was simply shiok-ness to hold that mic again, singing song after song.. but I guess its been too long since I last sang, throat condition was quite bad today, sadly :( but still, I had a great time with them, as always! :D

this week has been a rather hectic one, but I'm enjoying every moments of it :)

2009-09-29T17:03:00.003+08:00

signed up for Cardiomix class with mummy, aunt Daphne and cousin Dawn... Last night was the first lesson, and we sure had fun sweating it out! way to go towards to healthier lifestyle :)

2009-09-28T01:19:00.003+08:00

It has been 3 days since I'm back from Shanghai, and ironically, I've noticed myself becoming more patriotic after the trip... haha! From the cultural exchange, I've really learnt to appreciate this lion city even more:) Right here at my homeland, I do not have to worry about slinging my bag at the back, for the fear of being robbed at any moment... I do not have to worry about peeing in toilet without doors... I do not have to worry about stepping on spit everywhere I go... I do not have to worry about nasty sales person in shopping malls... I do not have to worry about sniffing polluted air every day...

However, China has its very own beauty as well^^ it's rich history about the past is definitely something I've opened my eyes to, gaining much insights of it from the places I've visited... The slow pace of life in Suzhou is something which I envy as well... No rushing to places, people taking time to absorb the things around them, but that's also because the place is abundant with resources, therefore, they do not have to worry much about making a living in the country... Life is simply quite peaceful in Suzhou, which I'm rather attracted to:)

all in all, the trip has been a wonderful experience for me, having wonderful buddies around everyday... but as the saying goes- every banquet has to come to an end... just when everyone is having great times together, getting more and more bonded to each other, it's already time to leave the country with a blink of an eye... I'm thankful to have the group of buddies with me throughout the trip, making the trip laughter filled and enjoyable, not forgetting, also having a full stomach all the time.. haha! because we always have supper late at night, be it cabbing down to a nearby McDonald's, buying take-aways, tidbits (banana pocky!) or BBQ skewers(which we eat almost every night).... lol....

LOADS of pictures have been taken during the trip, therefore, I shall upload them slowly for you guys to see... enjoy!

at the airport and plane! ^^

this is Pearl Tower in Shanghai... we went up about 100 floors and managed to look down because of the GLASS FLOORING! it was a totally awesome but scary experience.. haha! my legs actually turned jelly due to my phobia of heights =/

we cabbed down to Xin Tian Di for some pubbing and clubbing action in the middle of the night.. all in the name of "experience".. LOL! clubbing there is definitely different compared to Singapore... and oh! we bumped into celebrities like Hei Ren and Ix Shen as well.. cool? ^^

lastly, camwhoring in our hotel rooms! partying away in the room when we should be sleeping... haha! I've totally cool course mates who knows exactly how to have a good time:)

alright, more photos will be up when I've collected them from every one's camera.. haha! shall update about my new Shanghai boyfriend and Suzhou in the next post! :)

2009-09-19T13:10:00.002+08:00

off I go to SHANGHAI tomorrow morning :)

yes, I can't help but feel happy about leaving the red dot once again, because it is wonderful to be able to travel around the world outside of your own comfort zone, experience the different things the world has got to offer, be it the culture, food, weather or people... Every country that I visit tells a different story of their own :) Travelling broadens my horizon to what I see in life, and yes, I do admit I'm a lucky kid who's able to have the luxury to travel to different places, I'm thankful for that! :)

the shanghai story awaits....
the people whom I'll miss...

2009-09-18T23:54:00.005+08:00

this explains why I'm always online when I should be tucked into bed, haha!

the story goes like this... Albert's brother is getting married on the 20/09/09... which means 20092009! so I was telling dearest Alan, I wanna get married on 20/11/11 (nov my bdae month, haha) .. which will mean 20112011 :) and then, the story continues..........

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO YOU MUMMY!

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO YOU SONG REN!

2009-09-13T23:34:00.001+08:00

There are constantly decisions to make in life, and sometimes, certain things feels like they've reached a crossroad, and making a clear-cut decision to it seems tough...

Sometimes, there are so many things which I want to voice out, given my blunt-ish, straight forward character... But over the years, I've slowly adjusted, just so that I am more mindful of whatever I say and be wary not to hurt the feelings of other people... but have I really changed for the better? I'm not too sure myself...

Yes, I'm more tactful in the way I handle sticky situations and I'm more tactful and conscientious of what I say to other people now, but somehow, I guess, this ain't who I really am deep down... sometimes, I feel that I'm being less candid with my friends, for the fear of saying the "wrong things" and upset them... but I guess this is life, this is growing up =/ because as we grow up constantly, the world we face changes... it's not longer just about "i like you" or "i hate you", it'll gradually become a "i think she's a sucker but I'll just live with it and smile at her" situation as we grow up, because adults are more afraid of changes, of sudden eruptions, therefore, they'd prefer to keep things status quo...

but in the midst of being "nice and friendly" to almost everyone around you, doesn't it feel like the truthfulness in a friendship is barely there?? True friends slap you awake from your deep slumber, just so you'll realise what you're doing and change things for the better... and not smile and pretend everything is alright when things are obviously going in the opposite direction...

A change I've seen in myself... Is this really what I wanted? well, I guess, there are two sides to a coin...

no worries, I'm not upset, I'm not moody, I'm just in deep thoughts :)

2009-09-11T23:16:00.000+08:00

Yes, today is Lee Yong Dae's birthday...

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO YOU, MY SUPER IDOL :)

2009-09-10T00:59:00.002+08:00

"You decided to walk off without trying, thinking that it would not work"

2009-09-09T12:55:00.002+08:00

Today's date is 09/09/09.

I've decided I do not want to waste my holiday away like the previous holidays I've had. I'm determined to make the best of the recharge time I'm given :) and indeed, planning out a time table does really help in utilising your time well. I've started off yesterday by packing and cleaning my whole room! and wow, I'm feeling so proud of myself because my room feels so tidy and clean now^^ kudos!

Supposed to meet Alan and the rest at night for dinner, therefore, I decided to work my sweat glands a little and headed over to the gym before meeting them... Met Peisi and Hwee Miang at the cafe after I was done with my regime, and then walked over to the badminton hall to show support as the Post Secondary Matches were taking place. I admit I do feel a bit sad when I got there.... Sad because I really miss the times training and pulling through with my mates, going through the happy and tough times, shit and sweet together with them... Being reminded of the friendships I've forged in the Badminton IG, SOME of which I'm still nurturing dearly despite my departure from the team... Sad to see the drive in my mates when they play their games which I seem to have lost since some time back.. Sad to see them fighting hard for the glory they want and I could only sit there and be a supporter... but that being said, I do still feel happy for them :) &, I do not regret leaving the team, seeing the nonsense episode happening again last night, as always =.= HAHA! =X

Headed over to Ri Ben Cun for dinner at 8pm... I emphasized 8pm because we girls were HUNGRY, yet we could only go over at 8pm because dearest Mr. Tay made the reservation for 8pm.. lol... as usual, we took the plates of sushi on the conveyor belt as if it were free, partly due to our hunger, and partly because one plate only costs 99 cents.. haha! and as usual, Alan keep attacking the sashimi plates.. LOL!

Surprised Peisi with a birthday cake as her birthday fell on just the day before... It was great meeting up with them... I still feel very close with these guys :) have it ever pondered across you guys if things will still be the same few years from now? be it friendships, routines, habits or feelings... the future remains untold, but I'm confident of the bond we've all forged! :)

Moving Vocals.

Anthony and Rachel :)

I never fail to give the both of them a standing ovation each time they perform... it's just so captivating each time I see them up on stage, telling their own stories through their voices... there was once I was moved to tears watching Anthony sing his rendition of "The Blower's Daughter".... His vocals- not fanciful, not technical, very ordinary, yet supremely moving :) As for Rachel, she has definitely done Singapore real proud in the competition... a 15 year old girl, yet she has the capacity of a 30 year old in terms of injecting emotions into the songs she sing... A very small girl in terms of build(shorter than me!) yet, she has an oh-so-powerful vocal!

Theodore Teow

About 6 years back- that was when I first heard Theodore sing, and yes, i was MESMERIZED... haha! how could any guy be so electrifying and yet so gentle when singing his belt of love songs? I kinda lost contact with him after leaving secondary school as he left for studies in Hong Kong... But recently, I get to see this friend of mine on National TV... This dude here actually took part in Singapore Idols and got through to the top 24 :) what a way to meet my old friend again.. hahah... he's got eliminated tonight, however, when i watched him sing again, that feeling from 6 years back all rushed back into my body... it felt like it was just yesterday that I got serenaded :)

HAPPIEST 21st BIRTHDAY DANIEL KER! ^^

it was yet another fun-filled day with these die hard buddies :)

I was awoken by AUNTY AMILEEN (i think she'll kill me if she sees this. haha! =X) early this morning, to flood me with her incessant worries, telling me that it's raining...

AMILEEN: "eh babe, raining leh! how to go barrage?!"
GENEVIEVE: " huh? i still sleeping la! we just meet at the place as planned and see how thing goes"

HAHA! and so I had no choice but to get up after that wake up call =/ headed down to Marina Bay MRT 1/2 an hour before the arranged meeting time with Daniel and met up with the rest to prepare his prank present (a deck of poker cards wrapped in endless layers of newspaper) and birthday card... Waited for the big guy's GRAND ARRIVAL and off we went to Marina Barrage to have some fun! :)

woooo, we love the outdoors! hahah.. ok, maybe Amileen and Zi Qi don't like =/ LOL!

in the exhibition gallery :)

Kinda disappointed that we didn't manage to have our picnic and fly our kites due to the irritating shower which lasted almost the whole day-.- but still, nothing spoils the fun with these cranky dudes! hahaha... train-ed down to Marina Square for dinner at Jack's Place...yumyum... Dinner was SUPER FILLING...but I guess it was much worse for Daniel, because he had to endure 21 mouthfuls of birthday cake from all of us. LOL! bet he felt like puking at the end of the whole cake eating episode =X well done dude! :)

cake, cake and more cake! *burp*

wooohooo, what a nice way to sum up this post, our lovely faces! :)

2009-08-29T12:41:00.000+08:00

HAPPIEST 25th BIRTHDAY KAI BIN! :)

celebrated kai's birthday in advance yesterday at Vivo... Finally had the chance to meet with the rest of the W24M people^^ it was great catching up with them after so long... we've always wanted to meet up, but due to all our BUSY SCHEDULES, it wasn't possible until yesterday.. haha!

headed over to Clarke Quay to meet up with besties for Rebel after the mini birthday celebration we had... Is Singapore really that small? or is it true that all the teenagers in Singapore more or less lead the same kinda lifestyle? lol.... I actually managed to bump into Daniel and Kansie in the club... It was nice bumping into Kansie though... Haven't met that girl for like half a year already? =X really miss her a lot :)

and gosh, seriously speaking, gulping down half a jug of beer in less than 15 minutes is NO JOKE -.- stupid xiaopang, must be everything nothing to do, play finger guessing game at home.. i keep losing to him no matter how hard I try... Zzzzz.... see, that's the difference between a student who plays everyday and a student who STUDIES while she should.. HAHA! jkjk=X

wooooo, shall end of this post with a sexylicious butt pic, enjoy! :D

IT'S FINALLY OVER!!! :D

yesh! after more than 2 weeks of hard work, today has finally marked the end of Year 3, Semester 1... Tell me what's a better way to reward yourself for all the hard work you've put in than to spend a splendid, Wonderful, MARVELLOUS time with the buddies who endured and studied together with you every single day during the exam period :)

Headed to JB for dinner with the oh-so-beloved buddies just after the last UT ended :) everyone busy filling in their white card at the bus stop while waiting for the bus after missing 2 of them as it was FULLY PACKED -.- gosh, I hate peak hours, it's just simple so irksome=/ but that didn't spoil our mood nevertheless! settled our dinner at Taman Sentosa after clearing the custom... by the time we cleared the custom, all our tummies were growling LOUDLY! machiam ready to attack whatever food we see on our way... haha!

dinner was sumptuous with buttered crayfish, chilli crabs, stingray, sotongs, kang kong, oyster omelette and fu yong eggs! *yum yum*

take a peek at all our hungry faces, munching away, never stopping.. hahha! =P

after feeling that the seafood feast wasn't satisfying enough, I casually suggested going to eat lok lok for second round... to my surprise, all agreed to go!! hahaha! omg... that's how much we can eat alright ^^ lol... weeee, us taking peektures everywhere, even in Jian Long's car... haha! I think today is the day Jian Long took the most pictures since the day I know him... lol... =X

the lok lok stall! it's actually a mobile stall because the stall is a van... COOL! this is my first time eating lok lok in Msia, and I think I'm kinda addicted to it! haha.. simple fares, but it all makes a difference when you're with the right group of people... chatting, eating and laughing the night away :)

What's a must have to go with lok lok?! BEER! hahahaha.... Jian Long and Zi Qi drank too, because in Msia, there's no such thing as "drink driving prohibited" -.-

Last day of the semester ended on a perfect note :))

Back in school on a Saturday afternoon for National Education is such a bore-.-

headed down town with Veron, Albert and Benny :) for makan, movie and some "romancing".. HAHAHA!!!! "Romancing" because we guys actually went to take a stroll at Fort Canning Park after dinner before the movie started as it was still pretty early... like romantic sia... LOL! but i guess it was nice taking a stroll after dinner, digest our dinner and burn our fats.. hahahaha....

walked back to Cathay after the stroll for our movie - Orphan... gosh, the show freaked me out.. I'm a sucker for such shows.. Zzzz.. thanks Albert-.- hahaha.... but still, it was a great day out with them:)

oh mee goodness, my UT 2 grades are failing me...

for an instant, I wished you were here by my side because I really needed someone to be there :(

2009-08-13T19:44:00.003+08:00

Finally, a load off my shoulder :)

it was LIBERATION DAY yesterday as the day we've prepared for over the past 4 months has finally arrived! all our hard work on display for the 40 crucial minutes in the accessing room.. I've got the say, it was simply nerve wrecking and I could feel butterflies in my stomach during the first few minutes in the room... but then again, I told myself, "what's there to be afraid of? it's all the results of my team's hard work. We'll do just fine".... after that reassurance from myself, I felt myself relax and able to perform up to the expectations I've set for myself! *two thumbs up* everyone!!! :)

some teams were gathered in the library just before our presentation, and guess what... the library had instantly become a huge room for photo shoots.. lol! everyone dressed up smartly in corprate wear snapping away on the camera shutters.. haha...

my fellow course mates.

my very own dearest, loveliest team mates!!!^^

woohoo, my team with our dearest supervisor, aka- Lao Da, Ah Koon or Koon Ge... that's what the team calls him affectionately all the time.. HAHA! =X oh, and not forgetting, Mr Soh, our co- supervisor.

Mr. Chao Ren and Myself :)

Headed to Junction 8 after our presentation to get some stuff while Daniel headed home to dump his laptop and bag... Gosh, I actually dozed off in the taxi, yea, I'm just that tired.. lol! Met up with Daniel again at AMK hub for dinner, and then headed over to K-Pool or some pooling action before our movie started.. yes, you didn't see wrong, POOL.... I finally held a cue stick again after 3 years, and gosh, I've totally rusted=/ I guess I'll be practice hard to be up to the mark again during the holiday.. hahha...

NTUC-ed after our game to get some tidbits for the movie:) "Hangover" is no brain-er comedy... But I must say, it's really hilarious at certain parts... Next movie we'll be catching would be G.I. Joe and UP!!

2009-08-11T15:10:00.002+08:00

Public holiday was well spent with the family yesterday :)

Went in JB for shopping and makan with the rest of the family yesterday, and the aftermath... I was super drained when I reached home.. sleeping at 3am and waking up at 9am is no joke.. lol.. but it was all worthwhile spending quality time with the family^^

left house at around 9plus in the morning, but we only managed to reach Malaysia at 12plus! imagine the massive jam... zzzz... Sis and I were getting grumpy due to our grumpy stomach while clearing the custom, LOL! *a hungry man is an angry man* but thankfully I was well prepared for the jam, bringing a story book along to read, smarty me :)

headed for Tebrau City after we cleared the customs and settled our lunch at Manhattan Fish Market... I was anticipating the meal initially, same food at almost half price in Msia, but I was totally disappointed =/ Manhattan in Spore is way better! hahaha.. =X shopped around after makan and bought myself quite a lot of goodies ^^

jam, jam, jam -.-

wooo, driver for the day, bro!!! :)
*careful* *drive slower* was what he heard the WHOLE DAY from mum, lol...

this is what I do when I got bored in the jam...

(1) read

(2) zi lian! :)

HAHAHA!!!! this is the best one.... funny faces from all of us! a pity we left bro out because he had to concentrate driving.. LOL!

wooooo, settled dinner at Sentosa... good food, good price^^

I had a great day out.... It just feels great to be spending quality time with the family :)

2009-08-09T11:23:00.001+08:00

I can't seem to get enough of those sweet dreams, it just keeps coming back :)
there isn't a thing called dream addiction, is there? HAHA!
because if there is, I think I'm in a serious need for a prescription to cure this addiction of mine, LOL!

2009-08-06T23:22:00.001+08:00

It's been finalised that I've made it through the interview, and I'll be flying to Shanghai and Suzhou for the study trip! Yes, I'm elated about it :) So much I can see, so much I can learn, and of course, SO MUCH FUN I CAN HAVE WITH MY FELLOW COURSE MATES^^

Meanwhile, I shall hang in there for another 2 weeks before the holiday approaches! FYP, UT! I'm determined to finish these 2 races... CHARGE!

2009-08-02T22:36:00.000+08:00

我早就知道什么叫做“不可能”
我早就知道等待是多么地累人
我早就知道伤口是不可能复合到没有疤痕
我早就知道有的东西再喜欢也不会属于你
我早就知道付出能够是那么地快乐，
但我也知道付出不一定会有回报

既然我已经知道那么多，为什么还是学不会保护自己？
那应该是因为献爱比被爱来的更幸福，更真实，对吧？

DIM SUM GOODNESS ^^

FYP meeting has been adjourned to tomorrow after school to satisfy my team's craving for dim sum ^^ met up with them in the morning at Vivocity before heading for Dragon Gate Restaurant at Harbourfont Centre.. we had a grand total of 2 rounds of dim sum, each time the dim sums came, it filled the whole table, and they were even stacked up high! and 2 rounds of dessert... alright, maybe it didn't sound really impressive, but it was seriously a lot of food that our stomachs almost exploded. haha! =X

wooo....peektures! :) awww, a pity Zi Qi couldn't join us, but don't say I am bad alright... blog about the good times we've having and forget about her.. i actually had her join us for a group picture below. hahah!!!! YAP ZI QI! I'm nice hor? ^^ HAHAHHAHAH!!!!!!

Headed over to Vivocity for some shopping after makan, gosh, we simply had to walk because we were feeling super full! =X as usual, Daniel will forever be up to his mischief every time we're out... he actually tried so hard to molest a mannequin.. LOL! Daniel arh Daniel, there already put "PLEASE REFRAIN FROM TOUCHING" yet you still touch her... *tsk tsk tsk*

loitered around G2000 as Daniel wanted to try his corporate wear for presentation... got so bored from all his changing we decided to be a little artistic and started taking pictures since there were so many mirrors in the fitting room, basically, everywhere I turned, there will be a mirror.. haha! and TADA! our masterpieces :) lol...

it was a great day out with them de-stressing all our blown up minds from all the FYP matters :)

2009-07-28T23:59:00.000+08:00

this shows aptly how I've been feeling in school over the past 2 weeks, PURE LETHARGY :(

如果你不爱一个人, 请放手.
好让别人有机会爱她.

如果你爱的人放弃了你,

请放开自己,
好让自己有机会爱别人.

有的东西你再喜欢也不会属于你,
有的东西你再留恋也注定要放弃,
有些缘分是注定要失去,
有些缘分是永远都不会有好结果.

爱一个人不一定要拥有,
但拥有一个人就一定要好好的去爱她.
男人哭了是因为他真的爱了.
女人哭了是因为她真的放弃了.

Slightly more than half a year into being an 18 year old KID, I've finally got the chance to catch a M18 movie! hahahaa....yes, I think I've mentioned this movie in my blog before last year :) I watched it online when it was released, and now that this movie has reached the shores of our sunny island, I went to catch it in the cinema, yet again :) THE LOVE OF SIAM.

the first time I watched this movie, I was tearing towards the end because it was just so touching and sad... the second time when I watched it together with Veron, Benny and Albert at Vivo, I couldn't help but teared again.... it was a great movie portraying teenage love and family. For those we aren't shy of tearing in public, I'd recommend this lengthy movie:) I mean, what more could you ask for in a movie, when it comes in a package of eyecandies and solid storyline?? HAHA!

WITSISIT HIRANYAWONGKUL!!!!

Ut 2's finally over... taking a breather before final lap of FYP and Ut 3 =/ year 3 is seriously madhouse for me that I hardly have the time to take a break... late night studying = outbreak and dark eye circles!!! :( but oh well, I know all these efforts put in will definitely pay off, so I shall persevere! actually it doesn't feel as bad as I've described with wonderful friends around, making everyday seem less dull and tiring , I'm glad I've these friends around who stick around with me :D

this is what you call a map, LOL!

2009-07-20T21:05:00.001+08:00

So now I know, this is how NOSTALGIA feels like :))

I was out at the pantry this morning during lunch break, chatting with my 2 really good friends, or should I say used to be?? It's been months since we've spoken to each other like this, and it felt really good... it's rather saddening that 3 of us have drifted apart, because the both of them are an important part of my poly memories, things just ain't what it used to be anymore... where in the past we'd meet up everyday during breaks, stay back together after school to chill, going out so often to enjoy when we're not studying... In short, we just felt like puking each time we see each other, that was how close we were=/ but well, things do change, that's sad to say but still I have to admit... people come and go in our lives isn't it?

but despite all these months of "lost contact", it still felt really heartwarming that I still have these 2 wonderful friends in RP, that I'm not forgotten by them, that I was still happily chatting with them at the pantry, like in the past. where there were only the 3 of us :)

"why do you always adore good boys?"

I always had a tough time answering my friends that question, until just moments ago, when I pondered across an online article, which describes mostly how i feel towards geeks.. hahahaha! ok la, I was just kidding, just want to share an interesting article with you guys :)

The one thing I always do whenever I feel down is to SING. Singing helps me release all the pent up emotions, helps me express myself in a way I can't express from speaking...

Went for karaoke with Ben, Bella and Daphne last Saturday at TopOne... I think the rooms there are pretty cool! with smoke machines and different kind of lighting for us to choose from as well... quite fun playing with the system.. haha!! It's been long since I last went karaoke... and it simply felt shiok to be singing to may hours straight :) after a few hrs into singing, we simply turned the karaoke room into a club! playing those dance hits and having the disco lights on... ahhaha!!!! kinda fun playing a fool with them^^

Us having fun! :D

yea, its me with my zi lian skills... long since i last camwhored.. hha! =X

singing is just in me. i love to sing :)

Blogger's photo uploader is finally functional again, so here are the photos from last week which I've promised! :)

Sakae Buffet, Gyoza and BALLS were delicious!!! ^^

Having a great time chilling at Cathay, who said FYP is terrible? it may be terrible at times, but it could also be real fun with the right people around :)

H1N1!!!! wearing a mask in school has become such a fad? fashion statement? yes, no? haha!

10/07
Headed down to Novena after school today with Veron, Amileen, Peiyi, Albert and Nigel... brought them to the ice cream shop Daniel recommended over his blog, and yea, it did not disappoint.. the shop offered a wide array of ice cream selections, from the usual flavours to the "adult" alcohol ice creams.. *yumyum* I think its a rather nice place to chill too, we shall go there for more girls talk in future yea, Veron, Am and Zi Qi? haha!!! Zi Qi, you missed out on a great deal today! what we had today is 100000000000 times better than what you can buy from booklink! hahah! =P

Mao Shan Durian flavour ice cream! SUPERB! thick and fragrant :) but beware of an itchy throat after finishing the whole scoop.. haha...

it looks super tempting.. awww. can i not wait for the rest?! i simply can't wait to savour it... ^^

my Baileys Bourbon ice cream with waffle. HEAVENLY is the word I'd use :)

gone in a jiffy! HAHAH!!!! =X

i want the last bite!!!! LOL!

Finally, leaving traces of ourselves at the shop... hahaha..

Ice cream makes me feel better, comfort food :)

2009-07-07T23:32:00.002+08:00

I have wonderful friends, really...

when I felt really really down, there's
Yvonne to show me videos of LYD to cheer me up
Hwee Miang and Zi Qi to share advices with me
Amileen to tell me she loves me and it pains her to see me down
Jian Long who tells me he has a very good listening ear to lend

thanks, my wonderful friends, I feel braver now.

2009-07-05T00:05:00.000+08:00

I'm gad there're facilitators like Mr Seow around to inspire me to work hard towards what I want...

"As long as you work hard, there is a chance for you to get a "B+" or even an "A" grade at the end of the semester, you are capable of that."

"you've performed well over the past few weeks, keep up the good spirit and you'll be able to achieve what you want, like you've mentioned to me before."

that short conversation I had with him, that simple comment he made, it is all going to make a difference, because I've that new found strength which will continually push me to greater heights :)

thanks Mr Seow ^^
