In a nutshell, My Life.

Zee Lady Chatterley

2008-06-10T16:30:00.001+08:00

In Mitz’s words, “Lady Chatterley was this woman married to a paraplegic and she had a lover cuz she wanted a real life with a real man. “

Yes, that’s me. Intrigued? Yeah, I’m a slut. I’m a job slut.

Yes, I have a lover (job) behind my paraplegic (job) cuz I want a real life with a real (job). If all goes well, I’m gonna go through a divorce tomorrow and elope with my lover (job) in two weeks!

My latest update was the oh-so-desirable interview that I went. I bet NO ONE prayed for me, cos I didn’t get the job. Haha… But really, I wouldn’t have mind being in that company. Oh well, what to do, such is life.

Anyway, since that interview, I have successfully moved on and gotten myself a real job. Sort of. Actually the process should have given me some hints… Seeing how my past two hundred interviews have failed and fell flat on my face, I decided to keep all interviews from my family, lest they get even more anxious for me. In fact, they were more worried about my unemployment than I was… So I went for this interview SECRETLY, hid it from everyone cept Vincent.

Anyway, towards the end of the interview, the director who interviewed me asked me when I can start work!! I mean talk about desperate man! Seriously no QC! One interview and she offered me. I mean I AM IMPRESSIVE, no doubt, but she didn’t need to show me her desperate-ness what!

Well, I also didn’t have much QC. So a week and a half later, I started work, as an events executive in the organization.

First week went quickly, I was stumbling my way through, waiting for some kind of action. But it went past without any surprises. Lonely lunches, and prompt knock-off time, the usuals of a new job.

In the 2nd week, I realized, there won’t be action, EVER. I was involved in two events that week, both of which I wasn’t really working, more like having fun and eating. And that’s something I’m so not used to!!! To me, doing events is HARD WORK and more HARD WORK.

Being the slut I am, and can’t help but start wandering lustfully. All of a sudden, I saw two men (I WISH, jobs I mean) lying in front of me. I couldn’t help but decide to try them both out. How seducing those “men” were. Let’s just call them King and Prince.

King is introduced by my ex-colleague, who is with King already, and wanted me to join her. Prince is recommended by my sister’s friend, who used to be with Prince and loved it.

I love both men. I didn’t know how to choose. But Prince couldn’t wait and decided to give me an ultimatum, June 6, or NEVER. King? No response. He liked me, but there were some issues. I had to say yes to Prince or I’ll lose him forever. I did so on June 6.

And after I said yes to Prince, King asked me again on Monday evening – HATEFUL! But well, thankfully or not, he only called me in to tell me how incompatible we were. That he would need me to be in rubber boots and wear construction caps to work on the ground. I was like, erm, not so much my kinda thing.

So the story goes, I will be meeting up with Prince and planning the elopement for two weeks later. I shall be signing an elopement letter tonight and I am officially a Job Slut!

Story of Zee Lady Chatterley, I say.

The Stark Difference

2008-06-06T11:16:00.003+08:00

Two persons asked me the same question:

“Should I get it in black or silver?”

And they are both referring to cameras… So I asked for pictures… 2nd person, aka Vincent Fu Ah-Shun, sent me links to this…

Erm, well apparently, not the SLEEKEST camera, but still acceptable.

Talk about sleek, see what the first person, aka Mitz-Mich-Merchelle-Jean-Yeang-with-the-longest-name-that-I-can-never-remember-the-order-even-after-ten-years (small thing to note: she has since added her hubby’s last name to her name, killing me even more).. ANYWAY, she sent me the following…

Sleek eh? Well, for Ancient Egytian standard, according to Vin…

Stark difference.
BTW, she bought her camera two weeks ago. Vin hasn’t, but will do so as soon as they come up with the appropriate 120-mm film that fits into this new HAPPENING camera, much like the following:

OH WAIT! That was for Mitz’ "new" camera…

All the Best to Ms. Zee

2008-04-15T01:59:00.004+08:00

I'm up at TWO in the morning. Not uncommon at all, cept for the fact that I am supposed to be up at 7.30, which, come to think of it, isn't uncommon either! Haha.. But I must be going to bed straight after this.. Which I will, I promise myself (silently)...

Aaaaanyway, if you are reading this in the morning/afternoon of 15th April, please pray for me okie?

I shall be going for an interview at 5pm, and this is thusfar the most exciting opportunity I've gotten even near to, so pray for me. Pray that I will be the bestest candidate they see all day, that they would offer me the 2nd interview!!

If all goes well, then I shall announce the nature of the job. Otherwise, it shall forever and ever remain a secret that few will know, and those who know shall be killed if they expose the secret...

So let me know if you did say a prayer for me okay? Hahah in whichever religion, I'm an anything-goes girl. ;p As long as I know you love me enough to pray for me ya?

Haha okay then, Good Luck to ME!

Bombing updates

2008-03-25T16:58:00.005+08:00

Okay, did I disappear from the face of the earth for so long????

So I'm bored out of my mind lately, and I've been doing mindless things and brainless surfing of all sorts of things... Been clicking on links on friends' personal messages - Yes, I've been that bored! HAha..

So today, as usual, I was looking through my msn list, and saw my lifelong friend's personal msg, she's got a blog! So, naturally, I went to the link... First of all, I just found out she likes Justin Timberlake... Which is something I hadn't known - that explains her initals JT lately. I mean it's her initials too, but suddenly she wanted to be called JT. Hmm but apparently it's been since yonks ago, so oh well, think I'm really not in touch eh? HAha...

And then, I found out this old pal of mine actually got a new guy in her life!!! Stupid woman didn't update me of her life! She's gonna have to update me about this new guy soon... Also, before this, until many months after the break-up, the very same girl had failed to inform me that she had broken off with the ex.... No love!

Then I went on to another friend... An ex-colleague, I haven't spoken to her for the most three months? Four months, tops. And I decided to msn her, since I don't think she knows that I've quit from the company we both were once in.. Our conversation as follows:

{Zee Miss Huh} said:
hey girl

XXX says (4:55 PM):
hey hey!

{Zee Miss Huh} says (4:55 PM):
hows it going

XXX says (4:55 PM):
whr are u working now??

XXX says (4:55 PM):
im gd!

XXX says (4:55 PM):
getiing married tmr

{Zee Miss Huh} says (4:56 PM):
U R NOT SERIOUS!

Okay, that's a bomb update la! She's getting MARRIED!!! That's big man! Whatever happened to "I'm fine thanks"? Or, you know, "Same ol', same ol'"????

I mean, no update no shit and suddenly she's getting married.

Imagine my surprise.

Anyway, as you can imagine, my next ten lines were "OMG', "OMG", "OMG", "OMG", "OMG", "OMG", "OMG", "OMG", "OMG", "OMG".

And then the conversation did go more coherently after that....

But I really do feel like I've been left behind by the rest of the world, how?

So, anyone else getting married tomorrow? Update me pls.

Oh, and if you are giving birth tomorrow to an alien that you've been carrying for two years now, I don't mind being notified either. I'll be happy for ya, I am a true friend like that.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

2008-02-25T13:38:00.002+08:00

Okay fine, I haven't been blogging. Again. Like what's new? And yes, I haven't seen my own blog since the last time I "updated", which was barely a real update, since it was a re-post! Heh. Anyway, no Zen, I don't blog. I really don't.

BUT! Things may just change!! Because.......

*drum rolls*

I HAVE QUIT!!!

I am officially FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Stunned by my happiness? Yes I was happy in the job, but many things had changed since September. Many people left, and many new people came in, and I guess it was time for me to move on from the company.

AND I'M HAPPY!!! It's been a month plus since I tendered, and almost 3 weeks since my last day (cos I had leave to clear!), and I'm so totally enjoying myself! Sleeping late, waking up late, KTVs, MJ, poker (but not so much), plays, and miscellaneous rubbish things I do when I'm absolutely, totally FREE! Like going to Sentosa to spend a few hours in the sun ON MY OWN! Absolutely lovin' it!

Anyway, latest on me? Looking around for a job, but not mass-sending out resumes yet - tap on my network of friends first! HEh. And responses seem quite reasonably excitable. Oh well, we'll see what happens!

Now on to more urgent things! Pictures!!!!!!!!!! (or rather, videos!)

Okay, so I was at the Airshow yesterday, and I LOVED IT!!! There was a Black Knights Demo - OMG OMG! They were SOOOO COOOL!!! AND! I've decided that I wanna marry the last single black knight!!!! Heard that his name is Jeremy or something!!!!

Okay I'm totally droolin, but man! A girl is allowed to drool okie! *slurps*

So, we're having a contest, my dear friend Alyssa and I, to fight for the last single Black Knight of 2008.. so come join us! Haha! If you wanna check out your competition, here's a little preview of the two very sexy contestants!

ANYWAY, the display was very exciting, and they were really damn cool la, with several "stunts" that were more memorable, like the one where one of them was flying upside-down! And underneath it, was another one! Damn cool! I only have videos of their stunts, and I think the videos speak for themselves! Okay first one is pretty simple, they are just flying across the sky - WHICH I WAS ALREADY IMPRESSED LA!

Haha, yes I'm a loser like that!

Disclaimer: Personal Camera + Unprofessional Videographer = Shaky results, and many umbrellas & heads in view...

Okay, if the vids display funny (i.e there's an additional picture beneath the actual vid), I'm sorry, but I have no idea why...... But can you hear the roar of the fighter jets! Damn! So sexy lah!

Next are the crosses, where two of the aircrafts will come from either end and cross each other! One of them is the single one!!! Think it's the one that starts from the right (at the very start of the vid)! Haha.

Disclaimer: and sometimes, a finger at the corner...

Whoohoo! I think at some point, I said "This is the one I'm gonna marry!" HAHAH!

Next up: They TWIST AND TURN!! I think the official name is Twinkle Roll? Something like that....

Pretty Cool huh.

Next up: PRetty cool as well - the afterburner climb!!!

Man, I would love to be in the planes man!!!

Next up: very tacky stunt, but quite sweet as well - I would love to call it Love is in the Air, but that's TOO CORNY! Well, the black knights call it the Flaming Heart...

Oh, quite cool, after the "Flaming Heart" was formed, we heard a cheer behind us, and when we turned around, we saw a guy on his knee, and then followed up a whooping hug of his girlfriend... Tacky, but apparently it gets people into the marrying mood..

okay, next up: My most favourite vid! It was what I was talking about above, the Mirror Pass (a.k.a upside-down) and some other tricks!!! Be patient, the mirror pass is the last part of this vid...

Ain't that the coolest!

More information on the Black Knights can be found @ RSAF Black Knights 2008 Website

> > > OMG! Visited the website, feel UTTERLY cheated by the people who told me about the single Black Knight - the name is not Jeremy (or it could have been Jeffrey that I heard, but that one is married). The un-married one is called Lester... And he's not the one doing the cross.. Erm, very hard to identify him in the demo...... But he IS the youngest la, so still okay la... Anyway, Alyssa and my contest shall be still on! Wahahh come join us! ;p The rest of the Aero Demo, erm I wasn't paying attention - haha did a LITTLE walk around, went for lunch and all, and waited till the AIRBUS came out!

And AIRBUS came on -- only got pictures, but it was quite cool - seriously it's like a very very quiet humongous giant... Very mild and tender - but very serious as well! I like!

It was exceptionally quiet, considering it was hovering rather low as well - very exciting!

And who can resist pictures with the giant?

Of course, Alyssa couldn't resist a picture with the hot pilot! Haha..

I shall just settle with my little Ferrari private jet....

And so airshow was great, and we were leeaving - only to realise....

Queue for shuttle bus - all mixed up with the queue for cabs, which I was supposedly in...

Rightmost is supposedly the line for cabs - don't think many people realised.

That's the queue that continues from the mess inside....

And - FINALE: The queue from across the canal!!!!

The above is the queue for the shuttle bus - and mind you, that's just a third of the view, and it's layered, meaning people are snaking around, along that length... Think these people should be just about to reach home now.....

Not as bad, but below is the queue for cab...

So the two of us decided to walk, and have Vincent come drive us home.....

What an adventure!

Nice re-post!

2007-09-10T00:11:00.000+08:00

Reading through my past posts (yes, I needed to reminisce a little).. And found this post that I decided was one of my best posts... Have copied the post as follows (but here's the link)

Date of post: March 23, 2006
Time of post: 2350 hours
Title of Post (very aptly): Fu-berish

Post as follows:

In a late night chat with Mr Fu Vin Vin:

Z: OIE! Don't fall asleep! You haven't answered me! What if someone threatens to kill me if I make you fall asleep on the phone? (*sorry, a lame topic we were discussing)

V: Then you weigh the crocodile lor!

Z(???): HUH?!?

V: Yup! You put the crocodile on the left side of the scale and then you put something on the right side..

Z: EH?! Put what?

V: Something lah! I forgot liao...

Z: Why do you have to put leh? (the crocodile I mean..)

V: Because I need to find the yellow...

Z: Yellow?

V: HM! The yellow in my report...

Z: Huh? Why do you have to find the yellow??

V: Because Sunshine bread is better.........

After a while...

Z: So why is Sunshine Bread better?

V: Huh? (as if I was the one not making sense..) That's a line (in advertisements I suppose).. Because Sunshine bread is better!

Z: So what has it to do with crocodile?

V: Got link one! But I forgot what's the link liao...

HAHAHAHA!!! I was so sad that my phone couldn't record his Fu-bberish! Hahaa!!

And then I just let him fall asleep.. We still stayed on the phone though.....

Then...

V: Hello?

Z: Ya?

V: What were we talking about?

Z: You were talking to me about weighing the crocodile...

V: OH!

Z: What were you talking about anyway?

V: That made a lot of sense to me okay!

Z: Errrrr okay.. *pregnant pause* Anyway, why were you talking about weighing the crocodile?

V: Because I had to weigh the crocodile, so I don't have time to pick up the phone! *totally dignified* HMM!

Haiz... Adorable pig..

My two Business Trips.

2007-09-09T23:06:00.000+08:00

Am back Am back Am back!!!

Kuala Lumpur killed. And the aftermath even worse. Work and more and more and more work.

It really killed me, more my spirits than anything else.

On a happier note, Beijing trip rocked my world. I was totally happy in Beijing. Missing home and all (especially my dearie, and SINGAPORE FOOD!!), but I really enjoyed my trip there. The exposure was one of a kind, ranging from Beijing city tours, experiencing the lives of the old dynasties of China, and the local family lives; to being under one roof with 3,400 delegates from all over the world; to the hour-long, police-escorted, traffic-stopped, 60-coach convoy; to the 1000-pax, Great Wall dinner (also police-escorted convoy). Guess it's an exposure that guarantees a lasting memory.

I must really thank the COO for insisting that I go on the trip. And the director that had faith in me. Really glad I did this Beijing trip.

My Journeys - Life, Fun, Work, Travel

2007-08-21T23:43:00.000+08:00

Dear Long-forgotten Diary,

Been a long while, kinda miss days when I can wile my time away just blogging the entire day. I didn't even have so many things to blog about at that time! Irony!! Haha now that I have more things to blog about, I really have pretty much no time to blog about them all.

Quick Summary: I am still happy! :P Though times are hard.

Work is really hard at times, really really hard. So hard I just want to break down and cry, but rarely anymore. Somehow, I think I'm much stronger than before. A year ago, I would have cried looking at the shitloads of work I have to do. Now? I shut up and CHIONG! Odd thing to hear from me, I'm sure! But really, bite the bullet and chiong is kinda what I have to do to get through with the piles of work.

Sometimes it just feels so taxing, I need to scream at everyone and/or run away from life. Just for a day. Nobody but me. Focus my world on me. And nothing else, no one else. No emails, no human interaction, no forced smiles, no hypocrisy. You think?

Everyone around me seems to feel that I'm not doing a lot. A lot of people actually undermine my efforts. But HECK them! (Sometimes even the supposedly supportive people are totally not encouraging.)

I will prove them wrong, I promise myself this.

Anyway, on a much lighter note, I did kinda just take a break.. Went Genting with Ah Fu! Pictures available! Click here!

Trip was very short, but was definitely fun! Hehe, we did very many silly things, but was all good fun! Being silly is our thing! :P Themeparks were different with Ah Fu, I say! He was SO FUNNY on the rides! If only I could take pictures of his look on the rides! Hehe!

By the way, Vin thinks that the below ride is the SCARIEST Ride in the entire world!

Check out how much fun the little girls are having!

Well, the gist of it is that: I TOTALLY ENJOYED MYSELF during the SHORT trip we had. :)

So there was the long journeys (there and back, I mean) that Ah Fu and I took together.

Next up for me?

Yet another long journey in the pipeline - TWO, in fact.

In about 6 hours, I have to wake up to a gruelling day. Lugging my packed bag, I will prepare myself for a 6-hour long journey to a place never been discovered, a land where no one has found - KUALA LUMPUR...............

On a COACH, no less.... BAH!

It's gonna be like a major Deja-Vu for me man, I was just on the coach like a few days ago? Taking the long long journey. To a place unfamiliar to me, where it's gonna be home for me for barely a day and half. Yeah, blardy short trip - All CRAMPED with work. I'm gonna be very good friends with the office in KL - and I'm talking about the office space, not the colleagues, since I'm gonna be in the meetings/trainings like DAY LONG. Blegh.

And I have been warned about this trip - it kills, bad. With the boss, NO LESS. THE BOSS, THE COO, THE DIRECTORSSS. Basically a regional meeting/training. Oh! I didn't mention, I'm on the same coach with ONE director and THE BOSS. *kill me now? PLEASE?*

Onto happier thing... 2nd long long journey. Come Tuesday, I will, once again, lug my packed bag (this time about TEN TIMES bigger), and starting yet another estimated-to-be-7-hour journey. Thankfully, or not, this one will be on the plane. Destination China, here I come!!!

Yeap! Going Beijing! The Heart of CULTURES and all traditional beauty! Where Zee is gonna be bombarded by right about 3000 delegates, from ALL OVER THE WORLD! With the EWET China team, naturally.

I am really excited and nervous about this trip. It's gonna be with THE COO (a fine lady - she's one of the main reasons I shut up and chiong - main main main reason being I wanna rock the world!), and the LAO JIAO or old bird of the company. Stress! But super looking forward.

And oh yes, I've been warned about THIS trip as well - yes, it will also kill, bad! But it will be a most treasured memorable journey of my life - I promise myself. Will be the first real away-on-business in my life, and it will be BIG. Can't wait. Really. No words can describe my excitement now.

But as always, it's gonna be a whole shitload of work I will have to do, there and before. So I will still die.

Oh did I mention? It's gonna be a GOOD TEN DAYS. Will be back on 8th September. Nice.

I love my life. As if you didn't know that. :P

Yours sincerely,

Long-forgotten Blogger

Randomness is the cure of staggering posts...

2007-04-18T20:09:00.000+08:00

Has it been yet another two months? Man, if I keep this up, perhaps I can manage with a healthy 6 posts a year huh?

Apologies la.. Been so busy!! Day by day, Week after week, and months just pass so quickly. And before you know it, you have been on your first job for more than half a year. Amazing, no?

Work hasn’t been too bad.. Though busy, I am enjoying myself, with occasional grouses. But like what’s new right? Who doesn’t complain about their jobs? And who doesn’t hate their work sometimes huh? At the end of it all, all that matters is that you will have to make sure you did your best and you have accomplished the most that you can.

Just to update everyone, socially, yes I’m still alive.. Been doing a lot of alone shopping lately though, with occasional extravagant play/musical goings… Haven’t met up with many friends la.. Guess it’s because everyone is busy with own things as well? What with everyone working extremely hard, and studying for exams and mugging lives away… Once again, I have to remind myself that I do miss mugging my life away… Better remind myself of mugging life, if not I’ll really soon forget the feeling of it… Anyhoo, been happy anyway. So why look back huh? Memories are meant to be placed in our hearts ma, hor? HAHAHA Cliché with capital C!!!

Anyway, was saying that I had gone on shopping spree lately, on my own! After work! Hahah just last month, bought SIX pairs of shoes!!! (inclusive of FOUR pairs of heeeeeeels and one heelys, and a cutesy casual wear flatties..) and a bag (or two? Don’t remember), and quite a few tops, quite a few skirts and perfumes and whatnots! So ya, I think I have spent quite a bit last month la huh? But I feel so happy la!!! Hahhaha..

And I think I really have to officially claim March 2007 as the luxurious month la! I went for the shopping spreeeessssssss, and like FIVE Productions la! There were a local play (Titoudao - very local very hokkien and yet very poignant, I Love it), a ballet dance performance (Coppelia - I got a bit bored after a while...), a NUS production (Watching the clouds go by– I SAW TAY PIN HUI THERE!! And the play a bit too "communistically-themed" for me, though I did enjoy it..), another local play 251 (the story of Annabelle Chong - quite good, I was a little surprised. Was well-done, though it's a little not too disappointing that there was no input from Annabelle Chong herself..), THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (though I was a little disappointed, and felt a bit cheated by the fact that it's the Australian cast, was still a great experience for me! :))

Though I went for the few productions, I have give credit to Michelle! She was the one who gave me the tickets to Titoudao & Coppelia! Thanks Mich(tz)!

Hmm anyway, that was that la huh? Not much update to talk about.. April was just a busy month with a lot of preparation for my BOSS (not the big big big boss, but the director of my division) and a lot of chionging out with stuff for the company only.. Hahahah..

Hmmm guess what? I have come to the end of my free time to blog! An hour is all I can spend la huh? Hahahaha oh! Another part of my exciting life is my family! Mainly my DARLING HAN HAN!!! Presenting... Rhys Toh Jun Han!!!!!

And of course, not forgetting the photo whore in me!!! Hee~!

Nolstagia and more..

2007-02-25T12:51:00.000+08:00

Man, it's been so long I don't even know where to start! Do I start talking about how different my life now is? Or about the events I had done in the past two months? Or what? But I'll try...

Working for almost 5 months now, I feel like my life is very radically changed.. My group of friends have shifted from school-mates to colleagues, whom I have grown very attached to.. After all, I spend everyday with them. I see them when I step into the office at 8.30am (typically) and leave work with them when I get off at 6+pm.. During events (only two so far, but two BIG ones), I sleep and eat and slog and work and slave with them (some of them)... It's hard not to grow attached to them, really.. And even those that I don't work onsite with, they bother to come over and talk with us onsite.. It's really a close knit company and I really love it.

Of course, I miss days when I can slack and just stone at the forum in NUS, or walk to Arts canteen during the break of a lecture just to get a strawberry lime or can Milo, or sandwich or caesar salads to gobble during the lecture.. I miss being able to go for KTV-cum-go-crazy sessions in the middle of the day, skipping half the day's lectures.. Or even Skipping the whole day's lessons just to sleep at home! I miss hanging out, with everyone.. I miss NUS, I do.. Most importantly I guess, I miss the carefree life that I had, and did not treasure.. Towards the end, I did realise how good my life was, and I treasured it to heart, but of course, it had to end right?

Now that I have moved on to another part of my life (the peak, I would say, since I'm supposed to be working and earning my living for a better future..), I have begun to lose grip of many little pleasures that I enjoy when I was still studying.. Gone are the days with leisure afternoons, just sleeping my time away, or even playing games or going shopping alone.. Gone are the days when weekends don't matter, since every other day felt like weekend to me. Gone are the days when I can just sit and chill with friends at coffee joints, just chatting our lives away..

I'm sure I can still do most of what I was doing, but it does feel different.. KTV sessions are now scheduled in the evenings, coffee sessions are few and far in between, leisure afternoons are now strictly on Sundays.. Going out can be a tiring chore now, though I try very hard to squeeze time for that.. Doesn't it feel different? Does, to me..

Looks like I've decided to go the nolstagic direction for the post huh? Haha.. But really, I miss the studying days.. I don't want to slowly lose grip of it.. Really not.. Oh, and I just realised.. I miss blogging about mundane things like buying a new camera, going for KTV, going SETTLERS.. and all other silly things I do..

But I must say, beyond looking back, I feel that what I'm doing now is no less exciting than my studying times (duh! haha the excitement in the past was trivial actually).. It's exciting in a totally different direction. I am experiencing very different things from before, and very different from my friends as well.. I'm being exposed to things I hadn't expect myself to be involved with when I was studying.. I'm meeting ASEAN ministers (of tourism only) and I'm meeting Middle-easterners who pay thousands just to have dinners (from the two events that I have been involved in so far, will talk about the events I was involved in soon ).. I don't think that's shabby.. In fact, it's quite cool, if you think about it.. So yeah, I do love my present.. I love that I get to be onsite for different types of events, I love that it's giving me very different type of life from before.. I must really say that I don't think I could have had it better at the other jobs that I was offered.. I'm sure those jobs would have given me a different type of satisfaction level, but I'm really glad that my first step is East West.. And there's so much more to come from the company.. Tacky it may be, but I really can't wait!! Haha..

So although I really miss the old times, I love what I'm doing presently, and I can't wait for my future to surprise me. And I think you can say that I'm truly happy. That's all that matters, really.

Two months and Happeeeee~

2006-12-10T16:57:00.000+08:00

Hmm sounds like I'm in a new relationship huh? Haha I guess you can say that I am, in some sense of the word.. Yeah, I'm in a relationship, with East West Executive Travellers. And I'm totally enjoying the relationship, as well as the relationships within EWET!

I love my job, my jobscope, and the industry (but of course, that's no surprise). I love that I get to know more about M.I.C.E, I love that I am exploring new places, in and out of Singapore. Though I have not been OUT of Singapore for work, strictly speaking. But I've been out in the sense that I am being exposed to many things in the region that not everyone can really get exposed to, and I love that. And we are doing more than just remaining stagnant, which means I WILL get the chance to go one day, as many in the office have told me, even my manager. So that's great!

And I love that I get to learn A LOT OF THINGS. From proposals, to handling of clients, to researching, to talking to suppliers, to everything involved in creating exciting events! Of course, I do do some mundane stuff, but who doesn't right? And in midst of the mundane-ness, I see excitement, I anticipate what will come and I REALLY CANNOT WAIT! And like I said in my previous post, Travel Industry is good la, no doubt la. Hehe..

Oh, and as it is, I am enjoying quite a bit of perks from working in the company already. We are in the inbound tourism industry, so we have to understand Singapore better than anyone else. And so we go for a lot of site inspections, and that just means that I get to see all kinds of places in Singapore, especially restaurants. And although the seeing of new things in itself IS a perk, the most exciting (and shameless) perk is the FOOD! Hahah, we have had so many people sending us Mooncakes (or Autumn Festival related stuff) and Christmas goodies! AND SO MUCH MORE! And we have gone on many restaurant site inspections, where we can try the food and everything. Hehe, shamelessly, these perks really CAN perk me up. Hahah..

Besides everything, I love my colleagues. Like ALL of them. Each has his/her own likeable-ness and I like them all, and most importantly, I like how they make me feel very at home, and not very stressed at work, even if I have got loads to do. They really make working ENJOYABLE, to say the least. Of course, sometimes, some people may get on your nerves (outside of the company, as well as within the company, though the latter is less). But at the end of it, I can still, and I do, talk about my job with a smile (even a wide one sometimes) on my face.

And! And! And! I actually am willing to work till whatever hour that I have to, even though sometimes I can really just stop and do the stuff the next day (I'm doing a lot of researching work, so it's practically ENDLESS). Just yesterday, I was in the office till SIX PM, on a SATURDAY! Hahaha I totally didn't realise how late it was till I realised it was SIX! -faint- I mean, I never did expect myself to want to work overtime until like that!

And when working, I feel like I can really learn, in that people are willing to teach me and help me whenever they can. And it just feels a quite heart-warming the way they treat me and one another. Like Mich says, it feels like a homely environment. And I do like it a lot. And they are willing to let me try new things, and be very understanding when I make mistakes. Obviously, it's this understanding that will make me all the more determined to perfect the job. And I really love the feeling of that.

So in this relationship of barely two months, I have established more than just a relationship with work. I have formed friendships and increased my passion for something I never knew I could like so much (tourism, in case that wasn't clear enough). And I'm sincerely thankful for the day of that my HR colleague called me in for the interview that I had been so happy about. And thankful that my COO actually decided to employ me, despite me being so fresh out of college.

I'm happy, really. =D

KTV With Jo-JO-no (Post-dated: May 6 2006)

2006-12-10T15:38:00.001+08:00

Yet another post-date. This is about half a year ago.. Was after my LAST papers in NUS..

Went KTV with Jojo & Jono after Jono's last paper TWO SEMS AGO (our last sem that is), think Jojo and I ended ours one or two days before him. This KTV session was planned more than one month before the exams.

I got a feeling that's me in the dark...

JOJO!! Very 痴情 (love-lorn/affectionate) looking hor? Actually it's just her not knowing the lyrics! Hahahahah!! =P

Jono totally enjoying himself. HAHAHAH

Shameless Jojo acting COY!!! (HUH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!)

Jono also wants to join in the fun! Hahahaha

Now we're trying to act cute!! HAHAH!!!

YAY! ALL THREE!! J-J-J!!!!

Me and JOjo! (OMG! My gongkia HAir!!! HAhahahahahahahah! -faint-)

Coy AGAIN!!

My turn to act COY! Hee.. Good try huh?

Haha it was actually our VIRGIN KTV SESSION! But we obviously weren't shy during our first time huh? Good old times without any stress... I MISS SCHOOL!!! (Doesn't mean I don't love work. I just miss studying.. Really.)

V-day 2006 (Post-dated: Feb 19 2006)

2006-12-10T15:27:00.001+08:00

Am looking through my blogger account, and I see a lot of drafts that I hadn't had time to blog and post. So this is from TEN MONTHS ago..

On Valentine's day, we went to Spagheddies @Paragon to have dinner. Totally forgot what we had or what we did after or before liao.. But here's some pictures that I took the effort to upload..

Are you watching closely? (Post-Dated Oct 22, 06)

2006-12-10T00:55:00.001+08:00

Dang! The Prestige rocks!

It's been a while since I've watched such a great movie.. It's such an amazing plot, with twists that blew my mind away. Hahah a simple mind I have, but still!

Note: Watching the show, I realise how possible it is that magicians in the past probably did the crushing of birds thing for real. Which makes my heart ache..

But anyway, the show had my mind very boggled for quite a while, especially during the show.. Halfway through the show, I thought I had it all figured out, and then I was proved very wrong.

(Dec 10, 2006) Hmmm I forgot what I was trying to blog about. That's the thing about post-dating your blog posts. Oh well, let's just take it as I was VERY IMPRESSED by the show. And I was DYING to share it with everyone. But it kinda just slipped my mind. Oh, and I LURVE both the magicians! Both Hugh Jackman & Christian Bale! I like the rugged-ness of Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale's charisma and accent! And both their VOICES. Okay, that's all I can remember. And so now that it's two months past, I think I can safely say that this IS a POINTLESS blog-post. But I did try, so I better post it up, so as not to disappoint myself huh? Hehe.. Okay, that's it then. Till later!

Shell Economy Challenge!

2006-11-01T23:10:00.000+08:00

Post-Dated: The Shell Economy Challenge, Raffles Marina, And the Best Guo Tie (Fried Dumplings) in Singapore!

2006-11-01T23:07:00.001+08:00

Yes, I was in the Shell Fuel Economy Challenge 2006! (Click for more info from SHELL... And here's Vin's post on it...

Basically, as Vin has already posted on his blog, it's a FUel Economy Challenge.. Nope, it's not a challenge where "Competitors will pit their driving skills against the best in the country in a series of Drifts Races, Sprints and Outruns".. Nor will there be "Bonus points will be given to the most well decorated car.".. Plain ol' Fuel Efficiency Challenge..

Anyway, I signed up for this thing when I was bored at home, and was listening to Class 95 one day.. Didn't expect to get chosen to take part la.. But all in good fun! We're NOT gonna win. Definitely, Surely, Confirm, No Questions, No doubt, No chance at all...

BUT!

We were still in, For THe FUN!!! And for the free lunch + brekkie (on the day of briefing, and the day of competition)!!! Whahaha AND DEFINITELY FOR THE FREEEEEE TANK OF PETROL!!!

Yupz, free petrol..

But we had to travel 40 KM to eat those free mealS!!!

Which brings me to the 2nd part of my post..

RAFFLES MARINA!!!

DANG! The rich people are TOO MUCH!! They BUY BOATS, and park them AT SUPER COOL LOOKING PLACES! Dang! And the marina is like SO DAMN FAR!

But I really like that place man.

The wind is so strong Vin almost got blown away.

Like I said, ALMOST.

After the briefing, we went to have a rare treat at our favourito Guo Tie (fried dumplings) place! It's a rare treat becos it's really far away from home! All the way in Margaret Drive! And we rarely travel around for food.. So yummaz! Was happy!

This is the Suan La Tang (Sour & Spicy Soup)!

Me enjoying it THOROUGHLY!

Vin enjoying it JUST A LITTLE BIT...

And FINALLY.. The Yummmmmmmmeeeeeeest Guo Tie!!

Hahahah turns out I only took one picture of the Guo Tie.. Oh well, I was enjoying it too much.. As you can tell, Vin actually couldn't wait for me to finish taking pictures of it.. He already had one.. Greedy pig...

But.. I did remember my parents! So I bought like TWENTY for them! Hehee.. Happy leh~!!

@ Office.

2006-10-07T12:21:00.000+08:00

Dang, now I have OPERATING HOURS!

Hi, nice to meet you, my operating hours are:

Monday-Friday: 0830-1730
Saturday: 0830-1300
(I am closed on Sundays and Public Holidays)

Thank you.

Oh, and I work for free after 1730hrs on weekdays and after 1300hrs on Saturdays.

Oh well, so it has been a week.. Six days, to be exact. So far? I guess I can say that I like that I'm working, and I like that I can drive to work everyday for free (credits to Erjie), and I like that it's a mostly-girls environment, and that they seem harmless... And I can say that I can see myself loving this job quite a bit in time to come. Not that I don't like it now, but I'm still in the process of adapting, so it's yet to be seen..

The good thing about this job is that it's in a fun industry. Tourism, I think you cannot fight that. It allows you to see the world, and maybe even really go there.. Even though this company only handles inbound travellers, to Southeast Asian countries, it still does mean that I can travel to these SEA countries once in a blue moon, and experience the kind of travel that my company's clients will be experiencing if they were to let us handle their corporate travels. So that's gooooood. I can't wait. But it should be a while.

Anyway, AS I AM STILL IN THE OFFICE, and probably shouldn't blog too much, I shall go back to looking as if I'm busy but in fact have nothing to do... (I'm JOKING! But then again.. Hahaha)

2006-09-21T15:08:00.000+08:00

I GOT THE THIRD HAPPY CALL!!!

I'M A HAPPY GIRL!!!

*Squeeeeeeals and JUMPS AROUND FOR JOY!!!!!*

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

And so the offer goes to...

2006-09-21T13:28:00.000+08:00

On a happy Wednesday morning, a happy girl receives two happy calls.

*Names have been altered to protect the identity of the persons

First call:
P*: Hi, I'm P calling from HPB. I am happy to inform you that you have been selected for the temporary position that you have applied for. Is it okay to start work on Friday?
***

>Background info on Call No. 1<
-HPB=Health Promotion Board
-= GOVERNMENT!!!
-=GOOD PAY!!!
-Application was sent in on Monday (i.e two days before)
-Interview was on Wednesday morning (i.e less than two hours before the call)
-Temp job (i.e I can quit whenever I want, they can sack me whenever they want, I get paid by the hour)
-Good pay = $10.50 per hour!

***
Me: HUH?!? Didn't I just go for the interview, like an hour ago?? (yes, my exact words) P:Yes, and we would like you to start work on Friday, is that okay?

>some discussion on procedure of salary, days of notice to be given etc.
>an Incoming Call (to be known as Call No.2 thereafter), which went to Missed Call

Me: Okay, I'll be there 8:30 on Friday! See you then! Thanks!
P: Okay, bye!

Second Call (i.e the Missed Call) called back:
E*: Hi Happy Girl*! This is E calling from East West.
Me: Yes?
E: Okay, after some consideration, and discussion with the rest, we have decided to give you the chance to try.
***

>Background info on Call no.2<
-Marcomms for a premium travel agency
-I WANT THIS JOB!!!!!!!!

***
Me: OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!!!!!! (thinks to self)
Me: (for real) Okayyyyyyyy... That means?
E*: So we have to discuss some stuff now...

>discussions and some haggling

E: Okay, I'll get the person to draw up the employment letter and call you up to come by to sign it soon!
Me: YES YES YES YES YES !!!!!!! (thinks to self)
Me: (for real) Okay! Thanks A LOT! I hope I won't disappoint you! Bye!
E: Bye!

And so, Happy Girl gets TWO job offers. Of course she chose the one she is SO MUCH MORE excited about. And she called back P to reject the position soon after.

But Happy Girl still is a little paraniod. What if they change their mind? What if I won't get to sign the letter? What if it's not real? WHAT IF???

For Happy Girl's sake, the call to ask her to go down and sign the paper better come soon. Otherwise, she may go crazy..

But Happy Girl is really happy!

And on top of everything, Happy Girl is very grateful to everyone who has encouraged her, helped her, supported her, and most important, GAVE HER MONEY to survive the past few months.. So, mainly my parents la.. I love them to the max! They were not pushy, never expected too much from me, encouraging, and extremely careful with their advice, and they didn't hurry me the least bit.. They won't see this, but...
I LOVE YOU, DADDY MUMMY!!! :)

And grateful to the rest her family, Erjie Dajie Korkor and BB Rhys! Hee Rhys of all people! Cos he was the one who entertained me the most of this period! Whahahaha...

And of course her dearestest!!! Thanks VINCENT FU XISHUN!!!! Thanks for Seeeeeeeminoleeeeee! Thanks for EVRYTHING!!! Muacks!!!!!

I LOVE LIFE!

Baby Rhys' Second Week! (Five weeks late......)

2006-09-09T02:54:00.000+08:00

Yes, I haven't been blogging as much as I had promised. And I'm sure EVERYONE wants a piece of the cutest baby in the world (fine, just my world then..)

So well, after being inspired by the fervent blogger, Ms Christine Chen Hui Qing, I've decided to blog about Baby Rhys' SECOND WEEK! Hahahahah he's like about SEVEN weeks old now already! Hahaha oh what the hell.. Just GO ON and look at how cute he is!

One week One day, One Proud Daddy!

And one Dazed baby..

But he can still move his mouth, and he does that a lot!

Week 2 Day 4

Yawning....

And sleeping peacefully

Lovely, isn't he?

Uh-oh who's bullying him?? (Erm, NOT his Fave Ah Yi!)

Just demanding milk, I'm sure.

Hahaha doesn't the milk bottle look HUMONGOUS on him? Hilarious!

Week 2 Day 5!

Hmm, usually after a feed, he will look like he's high on milk...

OH! Look whose hands are free!!!

Free to do some boxing?

Dancing Maybe..

A salute!

Yet Another salute

Hmmmm he really likes to do that huh?

Week 2 Day 6!!!!

OMG! He's not wearing any bottom!! How Rude!!!! Hehe

Hmm? Looking a bit sad here...

HAhahaha 'cause he's gonna be caught NAKED by yours truly!!!

******* CENSORED *******

Note: I actually have a few of his NAKED photos, but I really shouldn't...
HAHAHAHAHAH

OKAY! Almost done...

Looking pleased with himself..

ALL DONE!

Now, posing for ah-yi is part and parcel of his life, ain't it? Hehe

Heeheee.. He looks so happy with his new change of clothes..
WHICH HE WILL SOIL IN MATTER OF MINUTES ANYWAY....
*shakes head*

TADAH!! Presenting the cutest baby in MY world! TWO WEEKS OLD!!!

My fave pict of the Week!!!!

SO CUTE RIGHT!!!! Worth EVERY BIT of the wait right??? Hehe... Oh well, Fave Ah-yi is also a Lazy Ah-yi! Hehee.. But hey, this took me 2.5 hours! That's effort hor! It's impossibly hard to upload so many pictures in one post lor! But as the Fave Ah-yi, it's the "least" I can do eh? Hehe...

The First Week of Baby Rhys!

2006-07-29T01:29:00.000+08:00

Since Sunday, little Angel has been staying at my home. Gonna be here till 20 Aug, for the confinement month. Yes, it does mean that I will be uploading a lot of his pictures on my blog for the ENTIRE MONTH! Woohoo!!

Here are some from Monday:
Falling asleep peacefully in his nanny's arms..

Little boy's awake!

And looking around for people to carry!! Heh.

Tuesday's edition:
Big-eyed for the camera!

" OH!" says Baby Rhys. He does that a lot!

See what I mean? SO CUTE!!! Hee

This is AAAABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!!

" OOOOH!" to Uncle Vin Vin too!

Still not bored leh.

Haiz. Naggy Mummy...

FINALLY not faking conversation with Baby! Hehe. He seems bored here..

Mummy was lazy to carry him on her arms...

But not his favourite Ah-Yi!

Angle from Fave Ah-Yi's view!

Baby in the COT! I think he's starting to be very hiao liao. Looking at the camara and everything..

This was him looking at Gramps Koh!

And enjoying the ELMO ROCK MUSIC! From the toy toy Er-yi gave him...

And this is him LISTENING TO ELMO!!! *GASP! GASP!*

Oh. But this is seriously a cute one.. He's HICUPPING! Hehe.. *TRIPLE GASP!S!*

Rhys' First Day!

2006-07-23T22:51:00.000+08:00

Yay! I got the memory card back!!

And of course, I have uploaded ALL the pictures onto my computer. Or at least those of his first day!

First of all, my adventure of that day!! Carrying RHYS!!!!

Hahah there are actually quite a few pictures, but apparently, I look too scary in them. Bah. So I should only upload this. Blegh.

By the way, carrying him wasn't such a scary thing after all! I kept thinking that he was too fragile and I am too clumsy and yada yada. But as it turns out, the covers on him were more than enough to make him easy to carry, super snugged, and very comfortable and not fragile feeling at all!! He was such a dear in my arms, didn't do much, only wriggled himself a little to get snuggled in, and that's it! I carried him around the room for quite a bit. HAHA and I carried him while the nurse was giving Dajie some very lengthy instructions. Kept asking people to help me, but everyone ignored me. Bah.

But I lurve that I carried him on the first day! Just about 5 plus hours after his birth!! That's like how exciting lah! Hehe.

ANYWAY, now, the exciting parts! Baby Rhys' first day!! The minute I could, I took as many pictures of him as I can. And here goes.

Note: You may think that he looks pretty much the same in all the pictures, but he looks excitingly different in each and every picture to me! Heh.

Another note: Did I mention I love this guy??

Many shots of the bb in the span of minutes (about 2.5 hours after birth!):

(with Granny Koh, a.k.a MY MUM's, hands)

Oh my, poor baby is starting to cry. But he seldom cries. Very quiet and guai bb...

One of his side profile eh! ;)

Doesnt he have this 小老头 (little old man) look here? Heh.

Eager grandparents trying to expose him for everyone to see!!!

happy mum wants to join in the hustle, but nobody cares about her! hahah poor babe.

Ahhhh! His hands!! and his little tongue stuck out. Naughty fella!! Hehe so cute la!

There's the little grumpy old man again!

" AHHHHHHHH," says Baby Rhys.

Happy daddy! Mr Toh Papa!

Proud but uncertain Dad!

And victorious Mummy!

And of course, Baby Rhys AGAIN! In mummy's arms this time.

Mummy and baby Rhys

Mummy and baby again. He looks distracted. I wonder what was next to Mummy?

Happy Family!!! Don't they look sweeeeeeet?

Out of Hiatus and Into Aunt-hood!

2006-07-21T23:46:00.000+08:00

I have a new reason to blog!!!

Because........

Today, on the 21st day of July 2006,

I have officially become..

Zee Aunt of A REAL HUMAN BEING!!

>>>>>>>>>>>

This was just minutes after birth I think. At least within the hour of his birth la! Big eyes eh? SO ADORABLE!

Hahah he has this very weird looking face here. But still cute nonetheless! I lurve this little guy!

Peacefully asleep in an extremely noisy room! Poor boy.

<<<<<<<<<<<

Anyway, this little angel's name is Rhys Toh! Chinese name is still unknown. Haha.

He has big eyes, and he looks SUPER KPO la! He keeps looking around! Not as if he can see much what, silly boy! I think after 10 months inside this dark and constantly moving funny water place (a.k.a Dajie's body), he is curious about his surroundings! Haha.

When I carried him (Yes I did carry him, even though I said I didn't dare to), he ACTUALLY looked at me!! But I know he isn't really looking at me, but I would love to think that he's looking at the direction from which my voice is coming from, since I was talking to him! Aiyo it is super adorable! Lurve him!!!

By the way, these are just pictures from handphones all over. His dad's (a.k.a bro-in-law), his grandma (a.k.a Mummy dearest), and Vin's (a.k.a errr, an unknown korkor/uncle to Baby Rhys.. HAHAHA!).

Everyone was rushing up to take pictures/videos of this little guy and I snapped so much I think everyone must be thinking I'm a crazy aunt. HAhaha. I think my camera was a bit low batt.. Haha.

So yah, I have more coming up. BUT, that's when I do get my memory card. I had stupidly put it with Vincent, after I made the effort to change the memory card so I can bring the one with Rhys' pictures home. Grr.

But never mind, these shall be the "appetizers"! Heh I lurve this little guy!

And he's coming to my house to stay!!! FOR A MONTH!! YAY YAY YAY!!! So exciting!

Look out for more pictures coming up!! ;)

Note: Aunt-hood is the correct name. I'm NOT AN AUNTIE/AUNTY! That sounds WAYYYY too old. I'm an AUNT!

Important Announcement

2006-06-20T00:00:00.000+08:00

I shall hereby announce...

My Blog shall go into an Official Hiatus.

Perfect moment, if you ask me.

Because:

My life has come to a turning point. From here on, I have no idea at all where I will be heading, until I get a job, that is. I'm applying for jobs now, sending out resumes, praying every phonecall to be one asking to meet me for interview, and preparing myself for the worse.

And since I'm now in between things, I shouldn't be wasting my time slacking. So I shouldn't even be going out at all, so all my outings shall not be blogged about. (Though I may still love taking pictures on all my outings.. Hmm maybe I should have a blog just for pictures?)

Moreover, I am now preparing an entire blog on my Europe Trip, or at least the pictures, no idea, I don't know how lazy/hardworking I am when it comes to my Europe Trip Blogging.

Plus, my computer is currently on hiatus as well, well, long story, so ya.

So all facts of my life compelling me to stop blogging, at least for a while, or maybe no longer on this blog.

Thanks for all views and comments. I hope I'll be back soon. Maybe real soon. We'll see.

All Settlers, Settle In!

2006-06-02T23:20:00.000+08:00

Latest fad of Xu and Fu: SETTLERS!!!

We were supposed to go cycling!!! GRrr and the lazy bummy idiot who is too stingy to go ECP to ride the rented bikes suggested to go SETTLERS!!! So totally different!!! Grrr..

But well, despite my determination to go cycling, I gave in.. And yep I enjoyed myself totally!

Was only two of us, But we really had some silly fun!

HE LOST TO ME IN AN AMAZING GAME FOR 1 TO 4 BRAINS!!!

HAhahaha apparently the "one brain" between the two of us is IN MY SKULL!! Hahahahh LOSER!

But seriously, it's really very fun.. We played several games. INGENIOUS (a.k.a the Amazing Game!), Transamerica, Cartegena, Dragon Delta, and this Zombie Game that I don't remember the title.

And the package was GREAT! It's a students' package. $6 per head, inclusive of free flow drinks, and four hours' play (2pm-6pm)! That's like ultra great deal, considering just last Sunday, we had to each pay $10 for two hours' play only! And that's because we had SIX persons! This students' package is for any number of persons, it's per-head basis. And And And they have this special price for the main courses for the students package! Usual price is about $7-$9, but because we take the package, the main course is only $4!!! And they have stuff like lamp chops, and BEEF STEAK!!

And since I have been craving for steaks since I've been back from Europe, I obviously ordered the beef steak!

FOUR DOLLARS! Can you believe it??

Plus! The people there are all very helpful and friendly! And they really know their games!

So in conclusion, Settlers is CHEAP and GOOD and LOADS OF FUN!!!

So it shall be the Happening Place for me and Vin!! Our fave haunt from NOW ON!! Wahaha.. Yay!

Anyway, some pictures:

Haha I didn't play this game, but there is a GERMAN version! Pretty excited about it, so decided to take a picture of it! Haha.

Specially from Amsterdam

2006-05-22T03:40:00.000+08:00

Am in Amsterdam!!

Free internet, so I can blog all I want! But I shall keep it short!

Loving the trip TOTALLY! Having lotsa fun with everybody! Made some new friends and everything.. Loving this two noisy girls in the group!!! And this Indonesian couple too!! Shall post pictures when I get home!

No more use for German! Grrr.. Left Germany (Cologne) last night.. Am came to Amsterdam! Staying in FANTASTIC HOTEL! Sofitel Amsterdam, something like that...

It's like 9:44PM here now, and it's still bright outside! Super amazing right!!!

Anyway, am having lotsa fun here! Raining everyday, but loving the weather! VEry comfy.. Don't have to sweat and everything, like in Singapore.. Bah!

Bought quite a few things. For Me, Vin and general public (i.e Friends!)! But all very tiny things.. Not anything especially impressive..

Been sending myself postcards, from all the different countries that I have been, but don't know if I will ever get them all! Haha so far I have sent from Venice-Italy, Innsbruck-Austria, Liechtenstein, Mount Titlis-Switzerland, and Volendam-Holland. Sadly, I missed out Germany, because we totally didn't have time to do anything at all! Grr.

But never mind, I got many things from Cologne! Like my HRC Bear!! Yay! Happeeeee~

Going Belgium tomorrow morning, then VERY quickly, to PAris!!! PARIS!!! SO EXCITIN!!!! Staying there for TWO NIGHTS! In a Sofitel too!! So maybe tomorrow I can come online to chat too! Yepz, am chatting with Vin now! He waited up just for me! SWEEEET!

Haiz. I miss him so.

I miss Singapore, My computer, my friends, KTV, And everything and everything!!

But yet, I can't say I'm excited at all that I'm leaving Europe.. Despite the expensive toilet visits (yes, 50 cents Euro per trip, that's a dollar SGD. There was a 1 Euro one, in Venice), and the Lousy attitudes of the service staff in Many MAny MANY places, I like the area a lot, what with its culture and all the different architecture and history and legends, myths and stories and everything and everything. REALLY been a great trip. Haiz. I don't wanna go, and yet, I wanna go home to be with Vin my dearest.. How I wish he was here.. If he was here, I wouldn't care much about going back to Singapore. I don't mind not having everything I have in Singapore, to be here with him, and my entire family. But really, I'm enjoying myself so much, the only thing lacking here is Vin. Haiz.

I don't wanna leave, But I miss Vin so much. Haiz.

So there goes Cefiro. The car that I have grown deeply attached to.

Daddy sold it.. *sobz*

And to a cunning scheming man who looks like olden-times Merchant who cheats people of money... I dislike him, I really do. He has the look that says "Punch me, or else." And I really want to give in to temptation and really give him a good hard punch (cept that my punches will be neither good nor hard. :P).

Anyway, haiz yupz, it's officially not my dad's car anymore, hence not "my car".. My CEFIRO!!! I WILL MISS YOU!!! -sobz-

The thing about Cefiro is that it's the pweettiest car that we have (currently, that is).. Lancer is sporty and young, but Cefiro is definitely much grander looking, and definitely more elegant looking. And we keep it in good condition la. Despite having crashed a few times (ALL by my sister), it always manages to look tip-top after the (expensive) repairs.

Haiz! Bye Bye Cefie.... -sob-

My room is a time-zapping machine.

2006-05-09T00:49:00.000+08:00

IT'S TRUE!! I SWEAR!!!

Everytime I enter the room, time is lost. I sit down in front of the computer for what seems like only 5 minutes and WHAM! it's 5 in the morning. Sometimes 6, sometimes 4.. But always 5 minutes to me.

BUT at the same time, the room has amazing energy-replenishing effect!!

Once again, IT'S TRUE! I SWEAR!!!

I would have a long day, and perhaps may have already fallen asleep and gotten super groggy and sleepy on the sofa. And I would slowly climb the stupid stairs up and go into my room. And I sit down in front of the computer, AND ALL MY ENERGY IS REPLENISHED! And before I know it, I'm being scolded (by assorted people) for staying up so late everyday....

My room is an amazing place, I'm serious.

On a totally different topic..

I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY ZEE 2!!!!!

It takes amazing photos!!!

Like the ones I took when I went to the zoo...

Some photowhoring first......

Yupz, there were Me Vin Thomthom and Oyce.

And now.. The Animals!! (in no particular order)

The Cutest thing we saw: A STONING PENGUIN!!

He's just stoning there, we suspect, right under the aircon.

Still STONING....

And my favourite animal: White Tigers...

My fave shot in the entire day...

Aren't they all so pretty? The animals, especially the white tigers, AND the photos..

The white tiger is a VERY beautiful animal. Rare of the rarest. Here's a little tidbit: White tigers are actually an anomaly. The unusual white coloration is a result of a gene mutation..

MUTATED GENE, but yet so beautiful. Isn't the animal kingdom amazing?

ANyway, I love the zoo!! Though it is quite small and has not-enough variety, it's very good already.. I especially lurve the Fragile Forest, where we can actually go into this dome, and really have the animals really just around us.. Very close to them.. That's where a butterfly kept coming back to my hand to rest. Just one particular one. Took a picture of it with my mobile, so it's lousy quality..

AINT IT COOL!!!

Haiz anyway, see what I mean? FIVE minutes, and it's 4AM in the morning.. Grrrrr.

And I still haven't gotten to the part where I get all excited that I went KTV THRICE last week. Monday, Thursday AND Saturday. I'm Horrid.

AND AND AND!!!

I have yet to come to the part when I'm supposed to get EVEN MORE excited about my EUROPE TRIP!!!!!!!!! EUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE!!!

Countdown: TWO DAYS!!!!

Damn. Don't think I can blog anymore, shouldn't have spent so much time uploading the pictures.

BUT I lurve all the pictures! So ALL is worth it! ;)

2006-05-06T00:55:00.000+08:00

A while ago, I pwomised everyone a video that was taken on my birthday.... So here goes.... BE warned.....

My expensive buy of the Year: Zee No. 2!!!

2006-05-03T18:44:00.000+08:00

Just back from Sim Lim Square!!! So EXCITED!!! I JUST BOUGHT MY EXPENSIVE BUY OF THE YEAR!!! Whooooohooo!!!!

It's sleek, it's pretty, it's sexy, it's TOTALLY NEAT!!!!

It's............

A DIGICAM!!! WHooohooo!!!! NEEEEEAT!!!

Ain't it a beauty?? Pweeettty!!! SLeeeeeeeeeeek MAX!!!

It's a (sorry for the super-overused word) SLEEK digital camera.. Fuji Finepiz Z2! Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Two! ;) Zee No.2!!! Heehee!!

Omg omg omg omg!! I'm so excited!!!

A proper picture has not been taken with this camera, but it is definitely to up my expectations! Its features include:

Super CCD HR sensor delivering 5.1 million effective pixels
Non-extending refractive optical zoom lens with 3x optical zoom
Sensitivity range of ISO 64-1600 for low-noise photography in all conditions
Wraparound, glossy shell-design body, with sliding power-on function
High resolution 2.5 inch LCD screen with reinforced, scratch-resistant glass
Continuous shooting mode for action photography
TV-quality VGA movie recording of 30 frames per second with sound
PictBridge™ compatible for direct printing without a PC

Errr... This was copied from http://www.dpreview.com/news/0510/05101001fuji_z2.asp..

But basically, what I can understand is that:

It is a 5.1 megapixels
and a 2.5" LCD Monitor
SUPER HIGH Light Sensitivity (err, the professional term is ISO, I think..) of 1600, compared to a common 400 in many other cameras..
It has a SLIDING COVER that functions as a power-on!!!!
IT'S SLIM AND CHIC!!! Whoooohooo~!!

I have been eyeing digicams for quite a while now.. Actually, since February.. And the fact that I am going EUROPE made me even more set on buying a camera.. So I can keep 自拍-ing!!! Whahahahhha!!!

So anyway, some models I had aimed were:

the cutesy and VERY VIBRANT Canon IXUS i zoom:

and the VERY VERY SEXY Nikon COOLPIX S5:

Both very appealing and very very suitable for me.. Of course, I was looking at the aesthetic value of the cameras! Heh.. And I was gonna buy the RED one!!

I know, both ARE sexier than the one I bought.. But damn, mine is definitely sleeeeeeeekier than the two! In case you can't see, the front is a SLIDE COVER!!! SLIDE LEH!! *SHoooooooooooooooooooooooooP!* Damn cool! Sweeeet!

And of course, the functions are really better la.. Like the high sensitivity thing? Okay I'll briefly explain. Basically, there is such a thing called Colour Temperature... And most cameras can capture this certain amount of light (including in the background).. And the range is up to 400 for most cameras, apparently... But for MY CAMERA, the range is up to 1600... I don't know if that is very significant to photographers, but what the hell man, it sounds like FOUR TIMES BETTER to me!!! Hahahah.. And ya, the pictures DO look nicer and clearer and sharper.. And that is why I'm willing to give up the VIBRANT AND SEXY colours...

Never mind that I am $500++ poorer, I love this camera!! And I'm gonna love it even more when I take many many many happy pictures with it!! I'm so gonna bring it EVERYWHERE I GO!!!

TOMORROW shall be the DAY!!! THe official Launch of MY ZEE NO.2!!! WHOOOOOHOOOOO!!! I WURVE ZEE NO.2!!!

CAN'T WAIT!!!

(To be continued.....)

UNdergrad to UNemployed. Bah!

2006-05-01T23:58:00.000+08:00

So the final year student has finally finished her final paper on April 27, 2006. She has finally gone from being an UNdergrad to an UNemployed.

It's a saddening news, really. NO silver lining there for me.. Hmm, perhaps the money that I'll earn, hopefully? BUt that would be IF and WHEN I do get a *whisper* J-O-B. BAH!

So before I do get a j**, I shall remain depressed about graduating...

Sad things aside, as I mentioned, my exams are officially over.. The past week had been extremely hectic for me. I started my studying officially only after I handed in my final project, like on April 19... And I had like, 5 days? After the 5 days, it was consecutively FOUR days of papers... Haiz...

But since I have survived this period of hardship, I would like to thank Lay and Nara.. They've been great company - studying, in the car, or just stoning after papers. And also, not forgetting YY-女神 - she who blessed us with the 爱心洋参须蜂蜜！

In this period, I have neglected many people.. My family mostly.. And DEFINITELY my dearest, Vin Vin Fu! Yes, despite the fact that you seemed totally fine with neglecting me during your exams period (BLEH!), I am very sorry for neglecting you during MY exams period. Haiz.. So, my sincerest apologies to you, dear!!

Hmm.. By the way, I was forced to make this entry... Christine Chen complained that　she hasn't seen me in a "long" time, and asked me what has been going on with my life...

For the record, I just saw her on Friday evening, when I made my special guest appearance at Macs....

Anyway, Just to LEt her know, I've been rotting with Vin..

Thursday: Movie.
Friday: Dinner and VCD.
Saturday: His granny Birthday and My cousin's newborn's first month..

And today, well, didn't meet him (FINALLY heh.).. Because he was mean to me, he left me alone to shop, FOR MY MAID.... Yups, I went shopping with my maid! She's going back to Indonesia during the two weeks that my family is going ~~Eurold~~ Europe.. So she wants to buy many things for her kampong people.. So ya, I was assigned to bring her shopping...

Went to FOX Warehouse Sale (!!!)... Actually was quite exciting there! HAhah $3 per item (mostly tops, didn't see any bottoms).. Regardless!!! But sizes limited to smaller sizes... Damn! HAhahah but for my maid, it was all suitable... She bought EIGHT tees! She was so happy after..

Then to City Plaza.. Spent so long there... 2 plus hours!! She bought:

a white skirt
a pair of jeans
a pretty top to match white skirt
a pretty sling bag (which I had wanted to buy the shoulder bag version)
a pair of shoes to match everything
a top each for her brother and her father
2 watches (for her and her sister)

And together with the EIGHT tops she bought at FOX warehouse sale, guess how much she spent? ONLY $170!!!!!!!!! AINT THAT AMAZING!!!!! SO AMAZING!!!!!!!

Haiz.. So that's what I've been up to, Christine.. It's not interesting at all.... Haiz... BUT, be happy that I blogged, just for you....

(Total Time Taken: 30 minutes..)

Eurold Tour....

2006-04-25T21:24:00.000+08:00

Just back from the briefing for the Europe tour I'm going on, in May... Been kinda looking forward to it for the entire day.. Was talking to the loserish, karma-struck duo and YY-神 about it.. Today is the first time I'll be seeing my tour members whom I will be spending SIXTEEN days with.. In sixteen days, many exciting things will happen, including romantic boat rides in Venice, enchanting views at Paris Eiffel, scenic valley drives in Switzerland, tours of magnificient historic monuments and architecture, and many many more..

Sixteen days of such romance, adventure, and fantasy... AND NO CUTIES!!!

~WAILS~

WHY NO CUTIES!!!!!!

And what is worse than no cuties???

ALL OLDIES!!!!

And I'm not being mean! It's the truth!!! *not telling lies is one criteria of good karrrrrrma*

Seriously, my parents were the youngest old people there!!! There are people who are as old as (my guess) 65!! Or maybe even older!!! *smacks head*

I mean seriously, I had expected the tour mates to be you know, yes, perhaps old like 50, BUT WITH SONS (or daughters)!!! WHERE ARE THEIR SONS (err, and their daughters)?!?!?!?!? Grrrr... HAIZ!!!

A little voice inside my head: "Don't worry Zee, MAYBE they are mugging at home.... They WILL be there........"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

*more composed* I have a 10-in-36 chance... It's a group of 36, only 20 odd people were there today.... The rest were mugging, perhaps?? *pray hard*

Anyway, I shall try to be more upbeat about it.. I AM gng EUROPE (EurOLD)after all lah.. Can't complain.. Haiz..

*PRAY*

By DEMAND.

2006-04-21T04:45:00.000+08:00

After I have posted the GROGROUS picture of D, many have sent in their complaints.. Too fugly a picture perhaps??

So he FORCE-SENT me a few of his well, MORE normal pictures... One of the photos was actually named "FINALLY A PLEASANT FACE"!!

OBVIOUSLY he really couldn't find any nice pictures of himself.. Let's not fault him for it la.. He is, after all, my ~~fugly~~ idol...

So after he FORCE-SENT me the ~~fugly~~ pictures, he COMMANDED me to change the picture in the previous post.. But since I wurve him so much, this post is dedicated SOLELY to him (Lucky for you Chris! ;p)..

To ~~fugly~~ Darryl D Bum!! Enjoy!

It's been a long module...

2006-04-19T23:45:00.000+08:00

NM3217, a module I have developed a love-hate relationship with..

A module from the recently renamed CNM dept, Publications Graphics and Design. It's quite a killer module, we have to do a lot of assignments, all of which more or less leading up to the grand finale, our Individual Final Project...

To cut the story short, sweat and blood for this module.

But I think I enjoyed the module quite a lot, mostly because

1) it's WEBCAST.

2) it's ALL about playing the computer! Software programmes we learn include Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver.. Every week in labs, another most-used programme will be Windows Messenger!! Hahah it's like a major chatting session every week!

3) I have fantabuloustic friends in the module; ~~manly~~ mainly Jojo, Jono and Darryl.. But there are also often-MIA-and-not-in-same-lab Lizard and Kos...

Talking about fantabuloustic friends, I have to thank them a lot.. Especially JOJO and DARRYL... I wurve them lots!! My Master in Photoshop and my Naggy Idol...

Jojo ---

The ever-ANAL woman who never stops improving the visuals of my many assignments in the module! She, the more-perfectionistic-than-me perfectionist, nitpicking on the littlestest details in my Newsletter, my Flier, my Poster, my Brochure, my EVERYTHING... All for MY OWN GOOD... And seriously, my stuff actually turned out a lot better than if she wasn't there detailing them... She is really my Shen(2)!! *hails*

AND the best thing about her? She is UBER encouraging! Her compliments are soooo sincere somemore (heh)!! She says my brochure looks quite professional!! *beams* And she also said that my website doesn't look too bad! Hehe that's REALLY a compliment for my standard!!

Jojo, I WURVE U LOTSSS!!! REallly!! Thanks for being "sweet", "endearing", "exciting", "so clever!", and "CUTE"!! Hee. AND THanks for going through so much shit with me, and accommodating to me all the time, pei-ing me to lunches and skipping your lectures.. Thanks for being ANAL-ITIC!!! Muack!!

D, Darryl ---
(sorry it's impossible to find a picture of someone who doesn't take pictures...)

My Naggiest Idol!! The neverending nagging of his, telling me what is due and what is supposed to be done, Scolding me and COMMANDing me to go look at the stupid website for information and then Telling me what to do anyway.. Reminding me about the assignments by just abruptly talking about them (even though I know zilch about the assignments being due soon...).. In a very subtle way, he really helped me a lot! I was so reliant on him for this final project thingie as well that I think I irritated him a bit.. Haha sorry for that, D.. But thanks for being patient with me the module-idiot.. You are my idol after all you know.. Although that's like a title you gave yourself..

Best thing about him? He sends me EVERY assignment after he's done them (way in advance I might add), although sometimes he is forced into doing it.. By me of course.. I'm "ba dao".. But he sends me his assignments ANYWAY.. Despite saying I'm ba dao and everything..

So don't deny it, Darryl, you love me lots too! *bashful* Hee.. But really, THANKS SO MUCH BUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!! ;)

Another reason why I pseudo-love this module: I'm UBER-PROUD of the product of this module... My "baby".. Actually, my major baby no. 2.. No.1 was of course the MKT3420 project a.k.a 3M Command World Wonder Campaign! Hehe.. That was my most happiestestest project in my entire Uni life.. BUT, this is something I'm proud of too.. Not as much, WAY less actually, BUT still very proud..

Here here, take a look..

My Brochure
Front

Pretty Version of the Back

Ugly but handed-in version of the Back

The Front, Folded

My Poster

My Website
The Homepage

The Second Page

Ta-dAH! Those are the fruits of the whole week's labour! I managed to cramp everything into the week! Started last Thursday and SUBMITTED TODAY! Hee So exciting! And Vin was there to witness the highly-anticipated submission ceremony!!

Being the Vain me, I cannot resist taking picture of the product of this whole week's effort.. So I forcibly SNATCHEd Vin's mobile and started snapping away.....

My Website (printed hard copies + CD-Rom) in a clear folder

My A3 Poster + Brochure in a clear plastic holder

The two Envelopes: one containing some other printed stuff; the other where I put EVERYTHING in.. ;)

Everything and Everything!!

So that is it! My project.. VEry Final Project of my Entire Uni Life.. Submitted on April 19, 2006.. If I weren't this tired, I would feel sad and depressed... But well, I just hope my effort will be worth it.. Wish me Luck! ;)

Nara a.k.a Song Hui Qiao a.k.a Burger a.k.a Paedophilic Witch a.k.a WW2 Female Fighter, lastly a.k.a Christine Chen Hui Qing....

2006-04-14T04:21:00.000+08:00

Singapore (April 14, 2006) - The rampant postings by many bloggers all over the world of un-glam pictures of "Christine Chen Huiqing", who is known to be lying about her age being 16, has obviously exposed the many faces of her (mostly un-glam, but let's not be so mean).

Above: Burger-ed. The latest sighting of her newly-exposed (un-glam) face can is on Daniel's blog (click for link).

Many a time, the mutiple-personality individual has threatened to take the lives of many many many involved in this unfortunate event. The named targets include Mr. C.K Tan, Ms J.Z Xu (alias: Zee), Mr Daniel, Ms Mabel (alias: Maboul) and many others. However, there has been no reported casualty, which may indicate to the public that her threats are but empty ones.

"She has short term memory," an undisclosed best friend said.

That may be so, but public should still be warned of such mutiple-personality character. Her real identity may have been disclosed before, but no one can be sure. However, it can be sure that she belongs to a lower height-range (see below).

Above: "It reads 154.25 anyway" (Special thanks to a reliable source).

"Christine" has also been reported to be caught in an indecent act (see below). She has allegedly traumatised the young prey, when she tried to hit on the victim in KBox Clementi room 28. The victim, only named as "Eden", 16, is now said to be in slow and torturous recovery, due to the shock of the event.

Above: It happened on April 10, 2006. The victim had been singing in Room 28, Kbox Clementi when it happened. Victim, "Eden", is now in recovery.

Many speculations have been going around regarding the real identity of "Christine", but there has not been a concrete report as to who she really is, or in which era she was born in. Could it be World War II?

Above: A World War II photo of "Christine", who is said to be a World War II Female Fighter.

Her real identity? Or yet another façade? Speculations are all over town, and many are perturbed with the existence of such a character. Public be warned of "Christine Chen Huiqing", who goes by many more aliases that it is impossible to keep track.

(The above report is based on many reliable sources, which are quoted, as well as informal interviews. Pictures in the report have come from many sources. However, the level of truth in the report, or in any of the photos, cannot be verified fully. The reporter is not liable for any discrepancies between the report and reality whatsoever. Readers should read with discretion.)

OMG! LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!

2006-04-09T03:48:00.000+08:00

If this is who I think it is...

OMG OMG OMG!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH

I'm deeply disturbed.

Is it really YOU????

*very very disturbed*

My Europe trip!

2006-04-05T16:59:00.000+08:00

I dreamt that I was in Europe!!! Already!!! Goodness me!! Anyway the dream quite surreal, and yet, it's as if I was really there... The kind of dream that you actually experience the "feelings"...

First weird thing, Dajie was there... Looks like if I can, I won't leave her out of good things like that.. :) The whole family was there la.. Very happy.. ;)

Anyway, another weird thing is we got on this coach like thingie but we called it a "plane".. But inside of the coach-plane, it's amazingly huge... It's like those typical coaches with those inclineable chairs... But it has majorly huge space for aisles! Three rows of double-seats and the aisles are like more than a metre wide! A bit longer than the length of a typical tourist coach as well... With a toilet at the back.. Then in the middle of the coach-plane thingie there was a space where there's a coffee table, heheh and we had our McDonald's there!! *sheepish*

The coach-plane was, to my "consciousness", heading Europe.. We were all so excited! Because despite the extremely spacious coach-plane thingie, there isn't a lot of people on board! And we were all very happy, because we are actually quite worried that my parents will be uncomfortable in the coaches.. They are not used to sitting in coaches, my dad's legs are long and my mum's legs will hurt if she doesn't move enough.. ANYWAY, so the place was damn spacious..

AND AND AND the plane has this AltaR!!! But the altar like very futuristic!! Instead of plain having the usual Tablet and the incense pot (don't know if you called it that), it has this TV that has VIDEOS playing!!! And don't ask me, but it's the altar of my third paternal aunt's husband (erm, he passed away right before Chinese New Year..), but yet, they play videos of all my aunts in the different weddings and different events. I have no idea why I could ever dream of things like that, but I did.. Maybe it's like from the memory of my aunts when I was little.. Hehe.. But I was super amazed with the altar man! HAha I just stood and watched for a very long time...

Then a lot of things happened, but in brief, we actually had stopovers to buy Mac and stuff, we ate our Mac and my bro-in-law got diarrhoea etc etc.. Can't remember clearly..

But the thing that I remember the most clearly.. After I decided to settle down, I was looking out of the window.. And then suddenly I realised that we're flying (yes, it's still a plane) very low, but yet, we're in the tops of the mountains.. And then suddenly, we're lowering down to a railway track!! I secretly suspect it was a scene from Polar Express!! hahahahha anyway, so I was panicking when we were lowering, and then there was the landing of plane feeling, you know, the bump onto the runway, then the loud sound of resistant air? Ya that.. Damn lame, the "bump" even had the sounds of hitting against the rail tracks!! *CLINK* HAHAHAH Then like an UFO, the "plane" floated along the tracks.. not on the tracks, but distinctively above it, but guided by it..

And finally we reached a destination!!! And my whole family went crazy! We just ran into the new place!!! It felt like a boat... Hahahah quite a few levels to the place.. But it's all enclosed.. Like no sunlight or proper "outside".. And guess what! That's when I realised it was a SPACE STATION!!! You know, the kinds that spaceships go for petrol?? It damn rocks la!! The place was actually for tourists like us as well!! But we were chased out by the people, because "it wasn't our destination yet"!! *earth-shattering* *tschong tschong* *melodramatic gasp* So we were chased out, but we stole something from there.. Hahaha Some stupid glittery xmas decors.. So lame..

And then when my family and I got back to our plane (or maybe space craft?? hmmm...), FU VIN VIN called me.. Haiz... Stupid VINVIN cut short my trip to Europe...

Hehe.. Luckily I'm going for real in May!! WHooooohooo!!! Heh...*excited* hee...

In a late night chat with Mr Fu Vin Vin:

Z: OIE! Don't fall asleep! You haven't answered me! What if someone threatens to kill me if I make you fall asleep on the phone? (*sorry, a lame topic we were discussing)

V: Then you weigh the crocodile lor!

Z(???): HUH?!?

V: Yup! You put the crocodile on the left side of the scale and then you put something on the right side..

Z: EH?! Put what?

V: Something lah! I forgot liao...

Z: Why do you have to put leh? (the crocodile I mean..)

V: Because I need to find the yellow...

Z: Yellow?

V: HM! The yellow in my report...

Z: Huh? Why do you have to find the yellow??

V: Because Sunshine bread is better.........

After a while...

Z: So why is Sunshine Bread better?

V: Huh? (as if I was the one not making sense..) That's a line (in advertisements I suppose).. Because Sunshine bread is better!

Z: So what has it to do with crocodile?

V: Got link one! But I forgot what's the link liao...

HAHAHAHA!!! I was so sad that my phone couldn't record his Fu-bberish! Hahaa!!

And then I just let him fall asleep.. We still stayed on the phone though.....

Then...

V: Hello?

Z: Ya?

V: What were we talking about?

Z: You were talking to me about weighing the crocodile...

V: OH!

Z: What were you talking about anyway?

V: That made a lot of sense to me okay!

Z: Errrrr okay.. *pregnant pause* Anyway, why were you talking about weighing the crocodile?

V: Because I had to weigh the crocodile, so I don't have time to pick up the phone! *totally dignified* HMM!

Haiz... Adorable pig..

228th Post!

2006-03-18T11:08:00.000+08:00

Nara has NEARLY 200 blog posts. I mustn't lose out.. I have only about 227 after years of blogging! She only started in Aug last year! Shame on me! Heh.. But in fact, I've only been blogging for 2 years la.. But well, I stopped in the middle of it, actually I stopped several times.. I guess I get bored easily.. Bah. Now I'm bored.. Hehe.. No laaaaaaa, joking laaaaaaa...

Anyway, helluva week man! Since last week, I've been blind busy.. I had a presentation (Tues), a german Vocab Test (Wed), a newsletter exercise tutorial due (Wed), an outside Exam (Wed Evening), a german oral (today) and a kinship paper due (today)...

Doesn't that sound very hectic for a week? No?? Lemme split it up!

Okay, the presentation on Tuesday? Well, we started preparing last week on Tues, when we came up with a VERY BRIEF outline as to what to do... We had arranged to meet on last friday to work out everything.. But something came up on Friday and we couldn't meet, and so we arranged to meet on Mon.. And on Sat, I found out that one of us couldn't make it to the presentation, due to family matters. And that left me and Lay to do it... So the whole of Monday, we did the entire presentation, and we presented on Tueday... Some kinks here and there, but we got through it.. Thankfully...

My German Vocab test... Grr, my vocabulary is sucky at best.. I understand the words, I know a lot of meanings, but I dunno what the article in front of the words should be (German Language has three words for one article "The" - Feminine, Masculine, and Neutral.. And the gender for each thing is arbitrary! Totally no link!! Grr..) and what the plural forms of the words are! Grrr so obviously I couldn't do it very well.. Blegh..

My examinations outside went preetty well though.. In fact, I got the results already! I got 89%!! Yay! Hahaha to think I didn't study for it and was panicking on Wed..

Speaking of Wednesday, DAMN that was an exhausting day! Like I said, I had a German Test in school, and the lesson started at 8am... After German, I had tutorial... And in the tutorial I had to make sure that my entire newsletter was PERFECK.. And for that, I had to print out the damn thing in colour about 3-4 times!!! That's like $4.80!! And not including the black and white onesssss that I printed out? And I only sent in a TWO-page newsletter... Grrr.. Was a major waste of my money... 60c piece of rough paper.. Damn I better treasure it! Hmph.. Plus the damn tutorial was so time consuming that even though I had completed most of it, I had to spend like 2.5 hours correcting the thing, aligning everything perfectly, making sure that it looks like the example that the Lecturer gave us.. So waste time! Well, and that ate into my tutorial which was supposedly 12 to 2.. I went in at 12.40.. But thankfully the tutor is a nice guy, and he didn't even say much.. And after that, I had YET ANOTHER tutorial.. After which we had a small project discussion.. After discussion was a rush down to Orchard for my outside examinations, which lasted from 6pm to almost 10pm!!! Grrr.. By the time I got home, it was late late late.. Actually not that bad, but I was caught in a jam.. And it made the journey home seemed so so so long.. Got home at almost 11.. Hehe.. And it was time for relaxation.. MAHJONG! Hahahah I know, it's horrid.. But I had to relax!! Haha I was half falling asleep though.. After mahjong, I had to prepare for my oral (today)... So I called my partner and we went through the thing once or twice.. And Finally, I could sleep.. At 2.30am, I conked out..

That was a 7.30 am to 2.30 am day! With 8 am to 5pm in school, and another 4 hours taking an exam... Damn.. But as always, I seem to love long days, despite my complaints.. I feel more accomplished on long days.. Hehe..

Anyway, after getting past mid-week, I was only left with two things to worry about.. Kinship paper due today and the oral today...

Kinship paper was actually easy.. The hard thing, though, is the kinship diagrams that I have to draw.. Most people have 2 sides of the family, and all in all, probably about 50-80 members? But I'm not most people... I'm from a family that has 120 members (and counting) on my paternal side... And 30+ on my maternal side.. If you're thinking I may be counting like 10 generations, nope, it's 4 generations.. My father has 14 siblings! I have cousins as old as my dad!! I have nieces and newphews older than me!!! Oh well, the drawing of my family took a total of 3 + 1.5 + 1 hours... That's............ FIVE AND A HALF HOURS!! That's less than the time I spent on the essay itself!! Grrr.. Anyway, the main reason I took the pains to draw out everything and not cheat, like everyone tells me to, is because I wanted to illustrate how bigger families may tend to have weaker family bonds... So ya.. But well, I managed to finally finish everything at 3.30am this morning! Hope it gets appreciated.....

And finally, my Mündlichen Prüfung!! Oral exam!! Well, despite being late and a little not as well prepared as other were (my partner and I didn't actually meet up to go throught the texts face-to-face!!), I think it went pretty well.. Anyway, the main thing is that we had to come up with five scripts of given topics and practise and pick a random topic on the actual day and act out the script of the topic.. And we also had a one and a half minute self-introduction... Long story short, we were pretty good! Hehe..

Whoa! What a long week! And more to come.. I have another paper due in a week, again! And I have JS proj!! Grrr... Shintoism.. Haiiiiiii....

Venture Era Group...

2006-03-17T16:30:00.000+08:00

Last week, someone gave me a call out of nowhere and addressed me as "Zee".. And the girl told me to go down for an interview for a job (!!!).. Stunned, I listened to what she had to say, and agreed to go down for the "interview" on Monday..

Come Monday, due to my project, I had to cancel on the job interview.. I mean seriously, if I had put "Zee" in the form, it probably would be something that isn't very significant... So I called to reschedule the interview, well prepared for them to thnk that I'm not sincere and tell me to not bother about rescheduling.. But well, they were understanding and said I could come down on Thurday 5pm instead.. So I agreed, since they were being nice..

Come Thursday, I totally forgot all about the interview, until it was 4 pm and my sister had called me to ask me some stuff.. Somehow, I suddenly remembered the interview... And so I rushed down...

When I was there (the girl met me at Lau Pa Sat and brought me to the company), I knew I was cheated.. Venture Era Group - Healthcare Products!!!! Most people would know what that meant! It's Multi-Level Marketing!!! Goodness! I was cheated! Okay, first up, personally, I HATE MLM.. Majorly.. I understand the workings of MLM, and I feel that it's very deceitful! Argh.. But the girl seemed nice, so I stupidly decided to stay on to see what they have to say, before politely and insistently refusing..

But I really hate MLM la.. And they had thought I was a MALAY! I mean, no disrespect for malays, but come on! Just because I'm called Zee doesn't make me a Malay!! Can't I have a nickname for myself?? Grrr.. And I believe I spoke a bit of Chinese to the girl lor! Seriously no brain! Grrr.. Just because I'm called ZEE!!! Idiots!

Anyway, the product did seem convincing, but I'm super not interested. And the presenter pissed me off quite a bit.. I guess she was "trying to be friendly", but if I don't drink Coke, I'm not lying... I DON'T drink Coke! Goodness.. Anyway, since I wasn't too happy about being cheated, I didn't like her comments very much...

And after the presentation and this business plan overview, the girl who called me for the "interview" asked me to sit down with her for a cup of coffee... And a certain manager came down to talk to me about their organization structure and evrything.. But I gave him a very obviously-not-interested look.. But he still wasted like half hour of my time anyway. Stupid idiot..

Anyway, all in all, it was a majorly unpleasant experience and for that, I blame ALL MLM companies! I hate MLM!

I sincerely HATE multi-level marketing companies! DIE MLM DIE!!!

The Prettiest Picture in the World!

My 2nd Instalment of Presents!!!

2006-03-04T00:50:00.000+08:00

My second instalment of presents!!!!!!

Ain't it pretty?? Hehe.. Like it quite a bit.. Though it's a tad bigger than my "miserably small" wallets, I like it a lot!!! By the way, Ms Lay, I lurve my miserably small wallets! Hmph! In fact, the wallet looks very big to me.. Hahah I guess I'm very used to small wallets.. Been a while since I had big wallets.. Dunno why also... I guess because Vin bought me the old White Guess one and I kinda gotten used to tiny wallets..

Oh and before that was the M)Phosis one..

Oh together with the Guess one, I have recently started to use this Pink cardholder thingie which is quite magical in keeping my notes tucked in safe.. Er, lazy to explain, just know that it's a magical cardholder.. Heh..

Anyway, before that was my FX one, which I used for a little while only, I think because it was too bulky (like really bulky).. AND before that was a Renoma long wallet.. Okay, I think that was the last big wallet that I had.. Wow.. Been a long time.. I think that was in secondary school when long wallets were happening!! Hehe.. Wow I think it will be quite some time before I get used to the wallet.. Hahah it doesn't even fit into a lot of my bags (but definitely fits into the NEW BAG that they gave me!! Hehe.)!!! Shall alternate wallets sometime.. Hehe..

All in all, I love the new Wallet!! Thanks guys!!! I wurve you all!!! ;p

Anyway, I got another pressie this week too!! It's from D the Bum.. Oopz, I should be nicer hor? Anyway, took a picture..

It's chocolate!!!!! Yumms.. So SWEEET.. Hehe.. So I thought I should be nice as well, and thank him on my blog.. Thanks Darryl! Heh.. Mi wurve ya too!!

I know my birthday has passed for a while.. But I think that still getting pressies for it is really fun! Yay!! ;p

It's been a week since I've wanted to blog about this.. I'm sorry but this is purely a picture post... With some comments here and there.. Oh well, a picture can say a thousand words, so why would I wanna say so much hor? (Btw Jojo is an idiot!)

So bored of that image as well.. So Snip! Snip! Snip! I didn't even realise what I was doing until I finally sat down in that chair and told the hairdresser I wanted bangs.. And I panicked! So started to take the before pictures... So I can reminisce...

What I missed out, On Esplanade...

2006-02-20T14:18:00.000+08:00

Oh my God! In my excitement about my Birthday Dinner, I totally forgot that there was a second part to my evening!!!

So after the dinner at Ricetable, we decided to move to another place.. Because the two who were late didn't get to eat much, and I still had to cut The Cake..

And so we decided to go to somewhere else to have a bit of munch (for the two of them..) and to let me cut the cake.. So after much much much deliberation, we headed for the Esplanade Makansutra Gluttons Bay!

About 20 minutes later, we reached the place!!! Well, at least half of us (the Hong Kong gang: me, Vin and Winnie) did.. Hehe the other half? Haha wellllll......... They got lost!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHA!!!

Ahem Ahem...

*more composed* Errrr they very poor thing...... They lost their way.. Poor things........ They had to walk from Millenia Walk's carpark to Esplande.. And they had to walk through Marina Square... But they didn't know the way and direction!! Apparently, they couldn't find the exit to lead to the huge stairs place which faces the Esplanade...

While the three of us waited for the three of them (he who stole my bed, she the cake baker, and she who left the sexy trio for the stupid trio..), the stupid trio took half hour to walk the distance!! The Cake Baker (Nara) and Bed Thief (Bai) must have been so hungry by the time they got there... (Though they didn't really eat la, only ONE chicken wing each..)

And guess what, the Cake Baker was wearing HEELS!!! From what I heard, she who isn't used to wearing heels was complaining a lot about the killer heels, which "are pretty shoes, but not made for walking"... Hahahaha... BUT apparently, she was very quickly calmed and instantaneously cheered up by a CASUAL remark by Bai, which apparently went like that: "but u looked really good wearing them! very nice!"

Hahahahhaha... Bitchy Nara!! Shameless!!! Keeps talking about falling in love with Bai.. Poor Bai.......... Hahahahha...

Anyway, so FINALLY the stupid trio reached...

And so photo-taking started...

Vin and I

THE Cake!

Me dabbing the sweat off The Sweaty Cake!!

The Cake was Sweaty because of the long journey it had gone through!! From Nara's fridge to Bai's car, to The Ricetable, to Bai's car again, to Millenia Walk, to Marina Square, to walking in Marina Square lost, to continuing lost-walk in Marina Square, and FINALLY to the Esplanade Makansutra Gluttons Bay!!! *phew* Poor cake.. And it had to be eaten before it could even cool down!! Poor thing.. But Yummmmmms!!

And finally, I took a picture with the Cake!! So happy!! Lurve the Cake! Ain't it sooooo pweeeetty!! My first baked-from-scratch cake (I still choose to assume that it was baked from scratch! Hahaha) in my entire life (that I can remember, that is..)!!!

Me and The Cake!!

After they arrived, we realised we didn't have a knife to cut the cake!! And the stupid place didn't have any Western food stall AT ALL!!! And so Vin, being the most wonderful boyfriend in the world, went to the cafes in Esplanade to borrow one!! Most of them didn't wanna give him a knife, nor lend him.. And Finally, he came back with The Knife!!!

In Memory of The Knife....
Me and The Knife!!!

And then we Finally sang the Birthday Song for Z(M)ee (at about 1105pm, February 17!!):
"Happy Birthday to ME!"

And I made a wish.....

And I blew the Cake!! (Because no candles to blow. So blow Cake lor..)

And I cut The Cake!!! (With the borrowed knife! ;p)

I had a wonderful time, and though the evening ended quite early (about 1140?), it was kinda the best way to end.. Because it gave me some time to send Nara home, and spend the last few minutes of my birthday 2006 with Vin, in the car.. Was a great evening.. :)

And once again, Thank you guys!!!
Back: Nara, Lay, Winnie.
Front: Bai, Me, Vin.

Pwecious Pwesents...

2006-02-19T00:17:00.000+08:00

So I don't know if you people have noticed, but I have yet to talk about the presents Vin gave me for Valentine's Day, AND my BIRTHDAY! Yep, he gave me the shopping spree at 木, but he has decided god-knows-when to give me another pressie!! So swweet right!!! And so last Saturday, he decided to surprise me with something so sweet it made me cry...

He gave me a call and told me he missed me, and asked if he could come over.. So I was like, "Sure! Why not?" And so he came over.. When he reached, he was holding something ultra pretty...

It's eleven folded roses pasted on a 3D frontless cardboard box.... With a letter stuck to it, a quarter coming out of the box..

"When Eleven Roses are given by one to another,
one expresses to the other that she is the one he loves most in life..."

Awwwww.. That's sooooo SWEEET right??? So beautiful!! And obviously, I was so touched I teared.. It's the way it was presented la.. I didn't even need to see inside of the Perlini's Boxes to know that I love the presents so much! Really..

Anyway, the rest of the letter is instructions for me regarding the two boxes.. I was supposed to open one box on 14th February and the other on 17th February.. And although it's up to me which one I choose to open first, it was suggested that I opened the left one on Valentine's Day.. And the other on my birthday! So cute hor? It's quite well thought out, even though he only spent like 6 hours on it? Hmmm okie, now 6 hours seem long.. But anyway, I really like the idea of the presents, and the definitely the Eleven Roses...

So later in the day, curiosity got the better of me and I went up to him to ask if I really couldn't open the presents until the two dates... And he was pretty adamant at first, until I started to ask him about the presents and asked him what they were and I started guessing.. And that's when he also gave in, because he's interested to see my initial reaction, my expressions when I see the presents.. And so he gave in and told me I can chooose one to open..... And the other one would have to be opened only on the date said.. And obviously I was okay about it! And so I opened one.. The one which was supposed (suggested) to be opened on my Birthday!!! And........

It's a pair of exquisite earrings!!!

I was soooooo happy! It's very beautiful and very very special!!! It's a pair of long dangling earrings, three silver strings of Swarovski Crystals with Pink Pearls of different lengths, creating an elegant allure.... Exquisite!

I lurve the earrings!! And seeing my happy expression and my excitement, he decided that he should force to me open the other one.. I was so against it!! The point of the thing is to make me wait in anticipation what!!! And so he shamelessly opened it for me, and showed it to my face.. But my eyes were closed.. And he just put it on for me!!! Mad person! Put in so much effort, only to spoil it for himself!!! Haha..

Nonetheless... When I saw the present I was super happy la.. Genuinely, from my heart, happy... Because......

It's yet another PReetty Necklace!!!

It's a necklace, fastened at the heart, where one end of the necklace will be put through the loop that is the centre of the heart, and that creates a very sleek effect... I really love this necklace.. Wore it TWICE in a week liao! And those who know me would know that I'm not the kind that changes my necklace all the time.. In fact, I only have one necklace that I wear all the time.. But this is very different.. It's very simple but very gorgeous!!! Lurve it Lurve it!!

So there! My presents from Vin Dear!! The sweetest thing would be the Eleven Folded Roses.. Really touched... He's very amazing hor? Haiz I think so too.. Since I'm the kind that won't have that kind of patience to do DIY things, I guess I'm the more fortunate one in the relationship huh? Or at least in that aspect la.. Hehehehe...

My Birthday Evening...

2006-02-18T01:28:00.000+08:00

As the clock struck 12, my birthday was officially over.. But the events from the evening are still fresh in my head, and my big grin is still stuck on my face..

For today, there had been several ups and downs.. But everything turned out great...

The Sads:
First, there was the absence of my dear buddy, as well as her boyfriend... She had food poisoning.. And apparently she was having fever and could only eat porridge and was too weak to even message me... And she called herself Pukey Kong.. Poor thing...

Second, there was the cake issue.. My friend had to go home and freshen up, as well as take the cake to The Ricetable (where we ate)... But she ended at like 6, when traffic is the most horrid.. And she lives in Bedok!! So ya, she had to be quite late... And she was quite late, later than she would be because of another friend (he who stole my bed, remember?)... He took super long to leave the house! HMPH! Luckily he was apologetic about it.. Haahhaha although if he hadn't been I wouldn't have said anything la... Haha.. So they were late.. And guess what.. The stupid Ricetable place closes at 9.30pm!! What the hell lor.. And last order was at 9pm!! And the two of them actually reached at 9.05.. Haiz.. So they ended up not eating at the yummidelish place...

The Happys:

My Birthday Dinner was YUMMMMMMMMMMMMS! Ricetable is a happy happy place.. Heheh I Lurve Indonesian food... Most importantly, I lurve GOOD Indonesian food!! And Ricetable was good la.. It's buffet style! And four of us ate an eight persons amount of food!!! Was a horrid story.. At first there were only three of us, the Sexy Trio LayZeeVin, and so we didn't start eating.. Until my friend, Winnie (he prefers Wee Ngee, or Rion, But I DON'T CARE!) came, and that's when we ordered a set for Six Persons (for the first serve it's usually recommended that we ordered a set, to try everything in the menu, about 25 dishes I think..).. Because it's in case the other two arrived and didn't have space for all the food in the set.. So came along the six shares of everything.. And well, with the two Kings of Gluttony around, very quickly, we finished more than four shares of everything (almost all of the six shares), and ordered several other dishes more.. And then at 9, when it was the last order, we decided to be nice and ordered two shares of everything for the two of them.. And came the food, but not the two.. And we still didn't dare touch their food.. Hahaha.. And then, they came, at 920!!! And we suggested that they don't eat, but rather eat somewhere else, where they can eat at their own pace.. And not have to pay for the buffet price.. And so the people at Ricetable were nice enough to allow the ridic request, and so in order not to trouble them further, the four of us had to finish THEIR share of food that we ordered!!! By that time, we were practically squeezing everything into our stomachs.. Dying soon, while the two were just looking at us eating, probably salivating big time! And we secretly fed the two of them a bit here and there.. Hahaha.. And so we stuffed an Eight Persons Meal into four persons' stomachs!!

Anyway, although at first there were only four of us, we had a lot of fun still.. And the two who joined us later, we had fun feeding them secretly as well!! Hahahah and we made a video of Winnie.. We made a video of him eating like a hungry hungry hungry erm, ghost? errrr.. Glutton la.. Hahah he looked ultra hungry.. If I can upload the vid, I'll upload and let you all see! (Added an hour later...)Okay, I just uploaded the Vid to google video!!! After it's okayed by them, I'll try to upload!! ;p

Anyway, here are other pictures of the Yumms at The Ricetable.. (paiseh, taken with my handphone, so not fantastic...)

Another happy happy thing is the fact that I have friends celebrating my birthday with me.. I was very happy during the dinner... Especially after the two finally arrived!! It felt great la.. Friends turning up to have dinner with me to celebrate my birthday with me.. Very touched...

The Group!!!

And the gifts? Also another Happy thing! I got my first present from these people! Apparently they bought me two presents, and one of them is still with Ms Pukey Kong.. But I got one already! Oh! And of course my other present, The Cake!!!

A Bag from the Group!!!!

The Cake!

Sweetness on my Birthday:

To everyone who wished me Happy Birthday, Thanks a lot.. Each one touched my heart, really.. Especially the friends of my friends.. There were a few people who wished me happy birthday either through their friends (my friends) or directly to me when they found out.. So I thought that was sweet..

To Vin, Lay, Nara, Winnie and Bai: Thanks again, for the wonderful evening.. Simple and yet fun-filled and definitely happy.. Thanks for the present too! :)

To Kong and KK: Thanks for the pressies! Sorry you two can't come.. And Miji, get well soon okie?

To Jojo and Jono: You two surprised me! Especially Jono! I didn't think you would give me a present! Basically because I didn't think you knew it was my birthday! To think I shamelessly told you it's my birthday... "Expect something..." Nice. Thanks Jono.. And Jojo!! Silly woman! Was also surprised to see your name on the card! You shouldn't have.. :) But really, thanks.. I lurve the Present!

*** *** ***
And guess what!!! I got another surprise when I got home too!!! I walked into the room with my happy grin and was a little bewildered at this shadow of something on my bed, looked like a very spread-out bear or something... And when I turned on the lights, I saw A BOUQUET OF FLOWERSSS!!!!! I was reallly stunned! Totally surprised and very very happy... Because I know who gave it to me.. My dearestest Dajie.... She's the sweetest Dajie anyone can ever get, really.. Ultra beautiful flowers!! And she meant for it to be a surprise! So sweet right? She had called me to find out if I had reached home before she came over to put it on my bed, properly propped up on my duckie's back... It's very very pretty.. 12 White roses, with purple wrap! So Pretty!

Very Pretty Right!!! I lurve them! Very touched by it, actually.. So happy!! :) I Lurveeeee Dajie!!!! Muacks!

*** *** ***
And that is the wonderful evening of my birthday.. From start till end, I enjoyed myself fully.. Vin, My friends, The Presents, The Cake, The Surprises, The Flowers, and everything sweet... And spending the last few minutes of my birthday with My Vinvin on the car just chatting was the best way to end the evening.. For everything and everything this man has done for me, I am really thankful, and I do love him so...

Don't wanna sound cheesy, but....

Happy Birthday To ME!! :)

Today is the day that...

2006-02-17T17:58:00.000+08:00

Today is my birthday!! (YES!! My Angmoh Birthday!!) Hehe.. But things don't seem that great today.. So far, today has been the day that (not in chronological order, but rather, for the effect, in level of seriousness...):

my buddy cannot make it for my birthday dinner because of food poisoning (poor girl...)
my other buddy can't make it on time for my birthday dinner...
I got back my lousy german results...
my paper clip's cutesy character dropped
I got a big fright by a stupid friend who came out of nowhere from behind me and wished me Happy Birthday (Thanks hor, "A**h***" ;p)...
my sandals broke...
I had my first time... walking barefoot.. all over Arts Fac... (according to Lay, every one will have to have walk barefoot at least once in their life.. So there, today was my turn...)

But!! Luckily, I have some happy events to make me, well, happy (hehz):

Many people remember my birthday! And most of them messaged me to wish me Happy Birthday!
I got my money for my TOTO winning a week ago... (I chose to claim it today because I thought there will be a receipt for me to boast about my birthday present to myself... But well, there isn't...)
I'm having a Birthday Dinner at The Ricetable (@Cuppage Terrace)!!
I'll be getting a cake! And no ordinary cake! It's a cake that is baked from scratch (erm, actually I'm not sure.. But I would like to believe that it was baked from scratch)!!!! So exciting! First time in my 22 years that someone is baking me a cake.. Thanks Nara dear!! Wurve!
Today is my birthday!!!! Hehe.. That is the most important eh? ;p

To everyone that remembered, Thanks a Million!! To those who forgot, YOU HAVE UNTIL MIDNIGHT!!

To the five who are having the dinner with me tonight, thanks for spending my birthday with me.. And to the poor girl who cannot make it, thanks for being the first.. Wurve u all!!

By the way, I shall upload some lame pictures for your viewing pleasure.. Don't be jealous!

The Lunar Big Day!

2006-02-13T13:59:00.000+08:00

It's my LUNAR BIRTHDAY!!!

Hahaha quick! Wish me happy birthday! Hehehe..

Yup, my lunar birthday is the 16th of the first month.. Usually, throughout the whole Chinese New Year, whenever we go out to eat or we have a feast at home (and we have MANY feasts during CNY), my family will keep saying that it's a dinner to celebrate my birthday! So my Lunar Birthday celebration usually lasts FIFTEEN days! Heehee.. Rocks huh? Well, that's one advantage of a first month baby! Hahah or is it just the culture in my home? Hahaha..

Anyway, this year, nothing was mentioned during the feasts.. Everyone is too busy with their own lives, and they may have forgotten that it's my birthday soon... Dajie and Kor are busy with the pregnancy stuff (by the way, it's a BOY!!! Duh, anyone on my msn would know right.. Bleh).. Erjie busy with work, as always.. And Daddy & Mummy were sick in the first few days, and hardly had energy to work, let alone to busy themselves with me.. Well, that leaves only Vin, who has no such tradition.. But he did give me a little surprise (quite a big one actually, and very sweet one) though not for the Lunar Birthday.. (Will talk about it in another post!! Heheh)... And so no one in my family cares about my birthday!!! -fake weeps-

But anyhow, we're going for a dinner at iGen (Japanese Buffet!! Here I come!!!) tonight.. My parents say it is for my birthday, but my Erjie says it's for her to treat because of her extremely huge bonus.. I bet she still doesn't realise that my birthday is coming soon.. So yah.. Haiz, I live with a heartless family.. Boohoo.. Hahahah..

Anyway, just a quick post to say Happy Lunar Birthday To Myself! Hahah.. It's not that sad, don't worry.. I'm still a happy girl! ;)

The 10 Million Dollar Experience....

2006-02-10T23:32:00.000+08:00

So the whole of Singapore knows about the $10 million dollars ToTo HongBao Draw: A Once-a-year Phenomenon right? Well, so a lot of people do buy righT? Spend lotsa lotsa money on it right? Even though you've never bought Toto before, you may have also joined in the fun right? And so I did too...

Actually, in the 1st week of Chinese New Year and I was already thinking about how much I should spend on Hongbao Draw this year... (Yes, I buy almost every year, if I can remember, that is.. And who forgets, seriously?) So for some weird reason, I decided that we (Vin and I) should spend more this year, whereas Vin decided that we shouldn't even spend any money on it.. And somehow, Vin kinda persuaded me into not buying, and so I decided that I won't be buying this year..

But come 9th Feb, i.e. yesterday, my family and I were having our usual chat sessions, when Erjie and I routinely slacked in my parents room, disturbing them, and refusing to let them sleep... (And here's a little silly story about my dad...) And out of nowhere, Daddy asked me to check out the Toto draw time on 10th Feb... And so I did... Told him 10 O'clock, and thinking that it's 10 AM, he went... OH! MEI YOU LE! ("oh! no more already!").. As though he had lost his 10 million dollars... Then my whole family started making fun of him, mocking him.. And that's when I stopped everyone, and told them it's 10PM! Nonetheless, Daddy made a fool out of himself! But we still love him! ;p

And so I think he went to buy Toto this afternoon, or morning, not sure, I got home about 7... And after Lay went home, after visiting my dog (yes, I got another one..), I reminded myself to go buy a few sets of numbers too.. And I went about doing my stuff, until I suddenly remembered that I FORGOT TO BUY TOTO!!

At 915pm (!!!), I left the house, with Vin's numbers, even though he was the one who said he didn't wanna buy this year.. (Pig.. Oink!) Anyway, I decided to drive, even though the Singapore Pools place is like five minutes walk from my place... Hahah no time to lose man! And so in like a minute, I reached the opposite side of the Singapore Pools Branch, where I wanted to park, because parking at the road side on the side of the branch would be a mistake, since everyone is probably there for the Toto H.B.D, or some funny horse racing matches... And so I parked at the opposite side, in opening of a street that a lot of cars need to turn to get to the opposite traffic (which actually is the side of the traffic where my house is, but let's not confuse you.. hahah).. I had thought that I would only need to park there for a while, and all the cars were able to turn into the small street and hence I wasn't very in the way... So after parking, I very dangerously JAYWALKED across, to the branch, only to realise that I left my pouch in the car... And so I dangerously jaywalked back to the car to get the pouch and very dangerously jaywalked back to the Sg Pools Branch...

So when I get there, I realised there was a special counter Just For Toto H.B.D... And I started shading Vin's numbers quickly, because I only had like 10 minutes to enter his numbers, as well as coming up with my own numbers... And so I paid for his, and started on mine... And that's when stuff started to happen.. I was queuing, very absorbed in my betting, and then I heard this very loud honk from the road just outside the branch.. And I was thinking to myself, "What the..? Do you really need to be so loud? And so INSISTENT?" The guy was holding the honk down, creating an insistent and irritating honk.. And then I decided to K-poh.. Then I turned around and I saw....

A BUS!!!!!

Trying to turn into the lane I parked my car!!!

But unable to turn... Because someone (something, actually) was blocking it!!!

And behind it,

A stream of cars!! Quite a few cars... 4? Perhaps more....

Everyone was honking.. At the thing that was blocking the way...

AT MY CAR!!!!!!!!

"Oh my GOD!!!!" I thought.. But I'm NEXT in line!! I'm placing bets for myself already!! I don't have time!! I had like TWO minutes before they close!! So in order to look inconspicuous, I decided to have this look on my face, like everyone else's.. A look that says: "EXACTLY which retard parked his DAMN car there!!!!"

And then, yes! It's my turn! And quickly, I put in my bets, and because I was using NETS to pay, it was particularly S-L-O-W!!! To think the guy who was queuing behind me got his receipts and betting tickets faster than I did.. And I was the one who was jamming up the whole street! And FINALLY, I got my stuff.. And like a mad woman, I started shouting: "EXCUSEME!! SORRYEXCUSEME!!! SORRYSORRYEXCUSEME"

And that kinda got everyone's attention.. Heads turned from the road (with the honking BUS and CARSSSSSSSS) to me, and everyone realised that the REtard was ME! And someone started to shout at me! And everyone FOLLOWED!!! As I ran out of the shop, people saw me and they realised it was me, and so they shouted... Stuff like "Wah Lao!" "WAH!" "WAh lan oy!!" "ORRHHHHHH" and classic, "SUMMON LIAO LAH!!!!!" (and they don't pronounce summon.. They say "SAH MAHHN"!) Goodness! I was freaked!!! When I stepped out, I saw a longer stream of cars, behind the bus, ALL HONKING!!! Easily 10 up cars!!! GOODNESS!

Frantically, I extremely DANGEROUSLY ran across the road again, and RAN to the car, with ALL The cars HONKING LOUDER at me!! Brrr...

Like that's not bad enough......

As I reached the car, I managed to very quickly take out my car keys! But guess what! My stupid car remote decided that it should just stop working all of a sudden! **Panic** And helplessly, I squeezed, tapped, hit, and knocked the remote, trying to get it to work again.. It just wouldn't work! Desperate, I unlocked the car with my car keys.. An action that would trigger the ALARM!!! And trigger the alarm I did.. Usually, when I'm not panicking like that, the alarm will be switched off very easily and very smoothly by me.. BUT! OF all times, I happened to not be able to shut the alarm now!! *dead* And it doesn't help to start engine, car alarms don't shut up just because you start the engine... But I started it up anyway.. And true enough, alarm continued!! Grrr... Desperate STILL, I decided to drive away, with the alarm loud and deafening.... Or at least move out of the bus and the MANY cars' way first.... And so I did.. Moved about 10 metres or so...

10 metres ahead, and with many killer stares from all drivers passing by, I started to try to fix the damn ALARM.. After like 10 secs of trying, I gave up, and turned my attention to the remote instead... Squeezing it, tapping it, knocking it.. FINALLY, it was okay again! And so I pressed to shut the alarm, and finally, my car silenced..

In the short span of 20 minutes, I illegally parked, jaywalked twice, no, THRice, rushed against time to buy Toto, held up a BUS and ten other cars, had dozens of people shouting at me, jaywalked AGAIN, had my remote spoil on me, and drove with deafening alarm... It's safe to say I was pretty T-R-A-U-M-A-T-I-S-E-D....

Anyway, after that, I was pretty spaced out, and I chionged to catch the bus, and overtook it, for no reason at all... I was thinking I should ask if they are gonna issue me a summons.. But I slowed down and decided to park in the parking bay of Kembangan MRT instead... Hahahah... Let's just pray hard for me regarding the summons thing.. Heheh..

So that was hell of an experience for me man.. Traumatised man!

But in retrospection, I find the entire experience extremely exhilarating.. I was so high afterwards man! Nara and Lay can testify to that.. I was so crazy when I was telling them about the whole thing, everything to everything... I think I said the words "Never so high in my life before!" Hahaha, perhaps... Perhaps not.. Haha but nonetheless, it was quite a thrilling evening la.. Heheh

I bet you must be thinking: "ALL this just for TOTO???? You don't even know if you're gonna win for sure!" Well, ya, I have to agree la.. But let's just hope that I didn't get issued a summons lor..

Because I DID WIN!!!

Hahahahha... Well, I have only four matching numbers... So that's EXTREMELY little payout only la.. Not too sure.. Anyway, it's enough to cover my bets la! In fact, it's enough to cover Vin's bets as well (we bet very small one la..), but since it's gambling, I made it a rule to keep the accounts straight.. So he paid me the money for his bets.. But Valentine's Day Dinner will be on me! Hahaha it's so gonna be more than what I won, but doesn't matter la! As long as we're happy! Hahaha...

Anyway, here's a scan of my winning ticket!!! (Just to haolian! Hahaha...):

Look at Set B, a.k.a the winning set!
The numbers that came up for The 2006 Toto Hongbao Draw:
11 15 23 24 30 42 Additional: 09

五年天！

2006-01-31T23:37:00.000+08:00

A certain love story for everyone....

In the wee hours in the morning of 31st January 2001, a certain boy and a certain girl were on the phone.. Chatting as they had been doing for a few months, the two were experiencing emotions they didn't know to explain... Something had happened to them, something extraordinary, something very wonderful...

It had all started a few months before The Day...

One fine day, because she was a very "sociable" person, a certain stupid form teacher decided to change her seats to shut the girl up.. Changing her to a seat where she was surrounded by guys she didn't usually talk to... And teacher thought that would help.. On the girl's part, it did help, the girl stopped talking to her neighbours... But on her neighbour's part, the certain boy was trying to ease the girl, making her feel at home in the strange land called "The Back of the Classroom." But little did he know, he wasn't exactly the favourite person of the girl.. Due to a certain reason from about a while back, she didn't really like this boy..

And so he was being friendly... But she was extremely displeased with her new seat, though she tried to be nicer to the boy.. (SHE DID!)

Another fine day, the boy and the girl were both extremely bored of studying at home for the examinations (for O Levels..), and both went online to chat.. The popular online chat programme then was ICQ (not IRC, mister!!), and both of them were happening kids, and had each other on their list... Chatting halfway, both decided that they wanted to go out, and so they decided to go for a movie in Plaza Singapura together.. Lame enough, the show was "Gossip"..

After that, things pretty much got friendlier.. The girl realised that the boy wasn't that bad after all.. In fact, he was one of the nicer boys she knew.. And so they start to hang out very often... Playing pool with a whole bunch of friends, going chalets organised by friends, or just hanging out... And definitely talking on the phone A LOT....

The exams were over, and the girl was pseudo-attending school in Serangoon Junior College for the first three months.. Why pseudo? She was barely in school.. Early morning, she would head toward school, mark attendance and leave the school for his home, to hang out until they find something to do, or until their friends (actually there was one specific friend who hanged out quite often with them.. He who stole her bed!) asked them out for pool or something..

And yet another fine day, something happened, they were alone, and they sort of had their first kiss!! Just a tiny one though! But what the hell was that, they both thought.. And it was then that it struck them!! It's so obvious to everybody else, and yet they were blind to it..

They had fallen in love, without even realising it.. They had crossed the friend-line and entered the love-zone..

And so their journey began...

And that's the story of VinZi.. That is, by no means, the end of the story.. Not yet, not ever (hopefully)... It's been five years since, and having gone through ups and downs, we are still very much in love...

And so, we're 5IVE!!!!

"What does the future hold for us?" he asks. Uncertain of what may come, I hope that whatever the future holds, it's for us, together as VinZi..

***To Vin***

Dear, I'm glad to have found you in midst of all the dislike ... Falling in love with you has been the greatest thing that has happened to me.. I know there are days when we have try exceptionally hard, but at the end of the day, it's all worth it.. Looking at us now, it seems too great to be true. And yet it is.. :)

Happy 5ifth Anniversary, my Love!!! Happy 五年天!

I love you.. Thank you, for being you, for loving me...
For so much more, thank you..

For as long as love will last...

To Mike and Mitz: Wishing you A Lifetime of Happiness...祝你们一辈子的幸福...

2006-01-25T22:36:00.000+08:00

The Special Event:

At Waterfall Lounge in Furama Riverfront, on 22nd January 2006, from 2pm to 6pm: Mike & Mitz' Solemnisation!!!

The People who went:
The blur guys....

Three mad girls...

Erm, obviously a whole bunch of other people went too... But these are the few people that I went with...... Oh! Mitz and Mike were there too! Heh..

Since we arrived earlier than The Couple - we were there at 1.45pm - we went about to take pictures!!!

Man, I miss hanging out with them!

And at our Fave Photo Spot: The Toilet!!!

They are two crazy women huh?

After some photo taking, we found out that The Couple has arrived!! And we were assigned our stuff for the rececption table - mainly the guest list and the thank-you gifts from The Couple.... Everything was done in the sweetest manner! Tables were named, I assume, according the relations... Names like Beautiful (for the bridesmaids I think), Memories (for old friends - US!), and stuff like that.. Very sweet...

At the Reception Table....
Three girls at the Reception!

I secretly stole the bride's flowers....

But she stole it first!!!!

Finally, we managed to take some pictures with the Missus:
The guys and the Missus

Four of us (including the Missus!)!

Kat and the Missus!

Shan and the Missus!

Me and the Missus!

And most importantly:
A picture of The Happy Couple! (sorry, a bit dark, didn't know how to make the camera do what I wanted...)

After everyone has arrived, we settled in our seats and the event started... Couples (Bridesmaids and Groomsmen) walked down the aisle... And a pause, then The Couple!

Then The Couple was seated at the Solemnization Table... And the solemnizer (not sure if that's the way to address her... But she's the one who announced them Man and Wife) started the ceremony by defining Marriage etc etc.. Then the "I Do" questions... And exchange of vows... And exchange of Rings!!! Erm, I deeply apologise, but I sincerely can't quite remember the details, as I was busy trying to get everything Video-ed (which I kinda failed terribly....).... But the whole solemnisation was very sweeet and I was deeply touched.. I'm happy for Mich to have found her happiness, really, and it was very touching....

She was smiling very happily when she came around to our table...
A toast to our Dearest Mich!!! To Epopotamus and Mr. Epopotamus!!!! ;)

Look at that smile!!! She wasn't even posing for me! (This shot was candid la..)

Anyway, after the solemnisation (a.k.a signing of the Marriage Certificate), it was food time and photo taking time.. Heheh, well, the photos are with her photographer, so I don't have anything....

BUT!!!

The food (buffet) was preetty good!!!! And I have pictures!!!

Yummy Fruit Tartlets! *slurps*

Ya, I know, it's quite lame to be taking pictures of the fruit tartlets and there was more food than that.. But we did have a bit of fun there.. Heheh.. Because not only were the tartlets delicious, they were preeeeetty! Heheh..

So I was saying that the whole thing was very sweet right? The Thank-You gift was also very pretty!!

The lovely flowers of the bride!

A Close-up of the Thank-you gift! ;)

I'm really very happy for my dear friend.. I think she really has, after setbacks and disappointments, found her happiness.. And I can tell that she really treasures this very precious gift.. And for that, I hope they will continue to make everything perfect, if not for themselves, for the love they have...

I shopped, And I shopped, And I shopped.

2006-01-21T01:26:00.000+08:00

Hmm, just got back from a major shopping spree... Been going for lotsa shopping sprees since late December... For good reasons, and excellent excuses!! Hahah.. Okay, reason number one: My clothes are getting old and tattered... (Fine, that's a bit of an excuse also. Whatever.) Reason number two a.k.a Excuse number one: Chinese New Year is coming, so must wear new clothes, to signify a new year, happy beginning etc etc.. I mean seriously, Chinese New Year is like once in a year la! Of course I must wear new stuff right? Erm, the clothes being nice is just an added bonus, of course.. The most important reason is actually cos I have free shopping sprees!!! All thanks to my dearestestestest ("dearestestestest" means Very very and truly dear.) Vincent!!! Okay, don't you think that I'm leeching off him!! It's for legit reasons! First of all, he decided to sponsor my shopping trips in December as my Christmas pressie.... So I decided to buy my CNY clothes, so I won't waste money buying CNY clothes again...

So I went for several shopping trips.. And I managed to get some plain looking stuff... Which are as follow:

From Zara:
Zara: basic tops
Okie, I like these, because they are very simple and casual, and quite nice too. Suits me..

From Topshop:
Topshop: basic white top

Topshop: Moto basic tops
As above.. Haha simple, plain and nice, casual, comfy..... ;) I know, I have lotsa tops pretty much the same as these, but they are all old and tattered, remember? Heh.

From Fox:
Fox: long sleeved top - 'Perfect'

Fox: long sleeved top - Act Sporty

Fox: orange/brown long sleeved top
Okay, I have stopped wearing nice long sleeves, so I decided to get like, three at one go.. Hahaha.. All from the same shop same day!! Okay, the act sporty one is one that I really quite like.. It's a white long sleeve, with a racerback thingie coming out from behind, and it looks quite sporty.. So I like it quite a bit.. Maybe I can fool some people into thinking I'm into sports... *erm, maybe not, but I like the top, so who cares!*

From B.U.M:
Bum: green/yellow top

Bum: dark denim skirt with green lining
I love the green top!! Very bright and chirpy feeling! With the BUM word so big! Hahah that's like my middle name la! Jiazi Bum Xu! Wahahahahah... And the skirt? I figured I should buy stuff that I may be able to wear to work. So there you go! Hah..

From Diesel:
Diesel: medium denim skirt

From East India Company:

East India: long ivory skirt

Unknown:
Unknown: pink 'ethnic' skirt

Unknown: orange skirt

I lurve these skirts! Okay, those who know me well may know that I've been complaining of lack of skirts.. So I figured, might as well buy a few more! Hahah.. Oh, but these aren't paid by Vin, just so happen that ALL four are from my Erjie.. Haha.. Oh well....

And I actually have this two pants (one long and one capris) that I bought about two months ago, but haven't worn.. Decided to categorise them under CNY clothes a month after buying them... But lazy to take pictures of them..

Ermmm, I know, the clothes are quite plain looking stuff, but I like them a lot..

Then came another gift from him, for my birthday.... Now this is much more exciting.. Well, obviously, another shopping spree is what he has given me for my birthday... But it was quite an impromptu thing, because my birthday is actually a month from now (17th February!!!).. And we hadn't planned on buying much stuff today (20th Jan, that is..).. Lay and I had wanted to go shopping for something for me to wear for Mich's solemnisation, so we went Orchard after our Cultures lect.. And round and round we went, but didn't see anything that I exceptionally lurrrrve, so we didn't get anything.. WEELLLLL, at least not until after dinner (bento set from Tori-Q)!!! After eating at TANGS basement, we decided to head toward Heeren..

And VOILA!

There's this MAGICAL shop there.. Magical because everything there looks FANTABULOUSTIC! It's called MU '木' ('wood')... Lurve the clothes there! So different and very fashionable! Hehehe SO, I decided, I MUST buy something from there.. And so I tried on SOOO many things.. And as I came out of the fitting room for the hundredth time, Vin pulled me aside and told me that I should buy more things from the shop.. I was majorly hesitant, because the stuff ain't cheap, and I had already bought so many things from previous shopping trips! And then he was like, "No, I shall pay for you!" And I was like!! WHY???? I didn't want him to be wasting so much money on me, after he had already bought me a lot of things for my Christmas pressie!! Then he was like, "I'll buy them for you, but you must let me off for your birthday then!" And apparently, my eyes glittered! Hahahah inside I was mildly extremely excited.. Hahah I mean, isn't it any girl's dream to have shopping sprees paid for? (Lay said YES!!! to that question.. So I believe that to be true..) And so I bought.. But I was nice, I didn't wanna waste too much of his money.. And so I ONLY picked out two sets.. But that was erm, wasteful enough...

From MU:
MU: lime green multi strips top

MU: red 'U' neckline top

MU: grey art deco skirt

MU: light blue wrap skirt look-like
I exceptionally like the blue skirt a lot, because it was picked out by him.. And he seems to be extremely pleased with himself.. And it is really very pretty.. Lurve it! The grey skirt is very irresistable too! It's very well, artsy? Hehe.. And the green top was quite an interesting top.. Has stringies from all over to all over, with crunched up cloth.. Very messy, but a bit artsy too.. Hehe.. I had actually picked it out as just a top to see if this other bottom looks nice, but I ended up buying it.. Haha quite silly... But it's nice.. And the red top, haiz, the picture seems plain.. But it's quite a nice top, a little plain but with a certain design at the collar, and the red is very striking, but not too loud, so just about right. ;p

Hmmm, Lay also bought two tops and a bottom. Her bottom is very Jap, and yet not very over.. And I lurve her tops! Erm, one is just a tank, but with very nice trims at the bottom (flowy kind, if I'm not wrong) and the other one is very nice.. Erm, the sleeve (on one side) is capped, I think, and one the other is three quarter, with a slit!!! VEry classy and very beautiful..

So we had a great time shopping in the magical shop.. Haha and I got membership at the place! Hahaah we kind spent more than enough to have the free member card la! Aiya, but the clothes were very pweeeetty la, so we left the shop happy women (and man)! Hahaha..

I lurve my dearestestestest!!!! ;)

Of Nara, Maple Cookies and My Canadian Idols (upclose!)!

2006-01-17T22:33:00.000+08:00

So one of my most fave girls is back from an exchange.. Christine Chen Huiqing!! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!!! She went Canada for FIVE months and finally came home on 6th January!!

Been three weeks since she got back and finally I saw her yesterday, for KTV, and today, for SSB2216...

First: Grand Arrival of Nara my dear!
For the week of 6th January, before Nara's arrival, we had arranged to sort of give her a surprise by going to the airport to receive her! So on the day before, we confirmed her flight number with her sis, and notified everyone (er, actually only Lay, me, Elvin and Esther) of the time of arrival..

On the day itself, well........ I woke up about 30 mins before I was supposed to meet the peeps at the airport... So rush rush and messaged Lay and everything.. Rush Rush Rush.. FINALLY, at the time which I was supposed to meet them, I left HOME. Hahaha even driving isn't that fast! Pretty dead huh? And before I left for the airport, I checked the arribal schedule, turns out, her flight arrived EARLY and had already landed SEVEN minutes before I left home!! Hahahah so I SMSed Lay to ask where she is.. And she was late TOO!! Then our last resort, Elvin... We SMSed him, and he's EVEN LATER!! Goodness, so much for surprise... We might not even get to see her, and Elvin was coming from JURONG!!! (apparently, he had to have his passport "chopped".. Haha) Just for HER!!!

So in order not to make everyone miss the star, I parked VERY QUICKLY and rush rush rush run run run!! I didn't even know the belt number!! And the flight was out of the arrivals' displays!!! Haha.. Blindly, I went up the escalator, on the phone with Lay, informing her that I'm the earliest.. At about half hour after the plane touched down...

As I was reaching the top of the escalator, I saw the most splendid sight!!! CHRISTINE CHEN HUIQING!!!! QING~~~~~~~~!!!! I went absolutely mad... NARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I think that was my exact word! Wahahhaha!! Instantly stupid bimbo just wanted to take off and run away from ME! Stupid pigu! And I was like mad, jumping up and down, running after the panicky woman to snatch hugs and pushing the phone to her and screaming in her ears!! Haha I think she got a big shock.. So did about three of her friends (including Cass, who went on the exchange with her..) and Cass' FAMILY!! Oh my god I was such a disgrace...

Anyway, finally, after I managed to convince jet-lagged Nara to stay for a bit longer (and her family had to park their car just so they could wait for her! Sorry Uncle, Kor and Mei!), everyone got there.. And hugs exchanged, words exchanged.. Man I missed her so much! She looked just a tad haggard from the long flight.. And so finally, we decided to release her, to let her go home to rest.. Poor girl, she has been jet-lagged since then... It's been almost THREE weeks... *stares*

So finally, after two and a half weeks, I met up with her for KTV yesterday....

Me, Nara, Lay.

Me & Nara

Me & Lay (A.k.a LayZee!)

Lay & Nara
Was quite fun, considering this is the first time, in the two plus years that I've known Christine, that we went KTV together! Her voice very soothing, and powerful at the same time. Very pleasing.. I LIKE! Hehe...

And!!! She finally passed me the Heavenly Maple Cookies!!!! And Vin is quite bitter that I have it and I'm only willing to share ONE tiny piece.. Wahahaha!!!

Here's what he says:

"Nara's back from Canada and with her, she brought cookies. Of which I have received absolutely none, I am terribly furious and I, of course, will never forgive Nara for it. NEVER. While Nara has denied me the opportunity of consuming these fantabulistic cookies, I however, was able to acquire one off the charity of Zee. The cookies are amazing la! Every bite is like a bite of heaven. It fills you with bliss and the maple filling just MELTS in your mouth making you feel all warm inside. I hate that I'm only gonna have one in my entire life because their from Canada..."

Anyway, to make everyone jealous... Here's a picture of my BOX of Maple Cookies! Total of eight Maple Cookies. Enough to feel heaven but not enough to ever satisfy me!!

Close-up!!!
So I decided, for the benefit of all who visit my blog, I shall demonstrate how good it is, by EATING one and posting PICTURES of me savouring it! Whahahhhah

Put the Maple Cookie into your mouth.....

Feel the crunch of the cookie.. (Although mine was a bit soft already... I think I didn't cover it properly yesterday....)

Feel the filling MELT...... HMMMMMM

YUM!!!

NO!!! It's disappearing!!!!!!

Finally, My Canadian Idols!

Xiang Xiang~~ Cheeeeeee Kian~~~

Hehe got the picture from Christine's blog.. This two guys.. I heard so much about them for five long months, and yet today was the first time I met them... They are two superstars!! Heheh they are part of Christine's gang in Vancouver.. They (the whole gang of them, about 8 people, mostly from Singapore, and one from Hong Kong) practically spent every single day together, doing everything together... So since Christine developed into a "obsessive compulsive blogger" (as Elvin puts it..) in Canada, I read about the whole gang so much I feel like I know them so well!

So I was psyched to be meeting them for the very first time!!! Hahaha so very uncontrollably, I shouted Xiangxiang's name really out loud, when he came into the lecture, late and flustered.. Hahaha I felt so excited, I couldn't help it!!!! So sorry Xiangxiang~.. And Chee Kian was overwhelmed by Yanying, Lay and me.. Hahah I think I was a bit star-struck... Haha damn lame man!!!

A little about them... Xiang Xiang has a proper name, Yan Xiang.. And he took very good care of Christine over there.. Makes sure that the girls in the gang are well taken care of and everything.. He has extremely long eyelashes!!!! Goodness, I couldn't stop looking lor!! Super long.. So jealous.. Hmph! If I get to know him better, I'll snip it off! Wahahahah.. Joking... Hopefully he won't find out.. If not he'll run away from me FOREVER.....

About Chee Kian.. He's Bitchy.. Caps intended... But I was too blur and sleepy to catch their bitchy conversation!! But I'll bet it will come up very often in future conversations.. And man, I would love a bitchy conversation with Cheeeeeeeeeeee Kian! Hehe.. By the way, both of them look way cuter in real life!!!!

Hehe but seriously, I hope they weren't put off by our/my madness.. Hahah they seem like great guys la... Heheh.. MY IDOLS LEH!!!

More to come, I hope! I would love to meet Ever-so Radiant Mabel-jie, Ang Moh Lian Selena, Aunty Killer Dan (I did meet him once, but he was shy I think.....) and the most anticipated Cinnamon Bun Joe!!! Joe is the Hong Konger.. But I think he's coming in May!!! Hahaha.. I hope I do get to meet Nara's friends, because they are such a fun gang... Don't mind knowing some cool people.. Hehehehe...

Okie.. Sorry for the long post... Kinda took me a while to do it too... Blogger didn't let me post the pictures!! So I had a hard time!! It's now 1.35am.. Should go sleep liao..... Morning lecture!! GERMAN!!! Gute Nacht!

Added: An irritating guy Mr. Darryl Bum forced me to say he says "Hi....."

Cocky Cockles. SATC. And in the middle of it all, Shih Lin Chicken...

2006-01-15T03:38:00.000+08:00

Hahaha sorry for the lame (and CORny) title.. Hehe.. I wanna eat cockles!! Those fresh cockles thingie I love at East Coast Park!!!

When am I gonna be able to meet up with my kakis to just stone in ECP?!?!??? *Wails*

Anyway, if you didn't know, I'm rewatching Sex and the City.. Still can't decide which girl I like the best... Each has her own flaws.. But each has something that I like also.. I wonder which one I am most similar to... Anyway, I doubt I'm like any of them lah.. They seem so, different...

But watching SATC can really make me feel like people idealise love and relationships too much.. Those girls have so many weird and unbelievable problems.. But since some of them (in fact, many of them) are rather realistic, the show makes me feel that relationships really ain't that easy.. Stuff you have to go through together, to overcome in the start, that kinda thing.. I know, sometimes they are very exaggerated, but I like the stuff that happens to the girls.. Kinda makes me emphatise with them sometimes.. Anyway, good show, and very funny anecdotes of the single girls living in Manhattan, NY. Comparing themselves with the Connecticut folks, and everything.. Background of each girl makes each of them very different and yet the fact that they live in the same city gives them a kind of cameraderie that pushes them on (in the battleground of love and relationships), and finally, it's their faith in love (despite many many many fail trials) that helps them find love (of different sorts, definitely, but they do find love..) eventually...

Anyway, one thing about watching SATC, it makes me feel fortunate to have Vin with me. We have a special thing going on and it gives me the faith too! On top of that, things seem preeeeetty simple with me and Vin, not half as complicated as the girls and their relationships.. So yah.. Hehe.. *mush*

(Shih Lin Chicken!) <---- A sudden craving in the middle of the blog..

***I should start colour-coding my words... Hahaha random thoughts too random sometimes..***

Er, I doubt I'll do the colour-coding.. But sometimes, just the intention is enough right? Hehz.

Anyway, back to SATC... Hmmmmmm.. Actually I think I'm done. Haha.. Back to watching SATC!! Bye!

First Day!!!

2006-01-13T10:07:00.000+08:00

Hehehe I have forgotten when was the last time I was so excited for my first day!! (Okay, maybe last semester.. But whatever...) Anyway, it's really great to be back to NUS.. I mean it's really gonna be the last semester.. I had better cherished it more.. Really.. And I'm so gonna savour every tiny moment..

Just went for German.. Very fun.. Hehe. Learnt the Alphabet!! HAhaha.. Sheesh I'm a lousy person. Grr..... But let's just keep that a secret okie? Heheh..

Anyway, that was only the first lesson.. I still have my second lesson to look forward to.. Cultures in the Contemporary World.. Sounds like super fun to me.. I had better not regret this module.. Heheh mainly because this is one module that I chose.. And I actually managed to make Lay, who in turn made Winnie and Nara, take with me! Hahaha I was supposed to be alone in this module.. Lucky (or maybe not, heh) for me, the module that the three bums wanted was too popular for them to bid for.. Poor things.. Hehe.. *sheepish* Anyway, er I have no idea how to prepare for the first lecture. So well, I didn't prepare anything.. Whahahahah... I think being there is the most important.. Hehe..

Haiz sucks to have no kaki with me during breaks... Lay is at home resting because she is having flu.. Nara and Winnie are in their respective classes.. So I'm ALONE!!

Lalala.. But somehow I'm still much happier than the past few days.. I think it's really the weather.. THE SUN IS OUT!!! (just for me!!!) Hehehe.. Hope the rain doesn't come back again.. Glenn Ong said there will be rain in late morning!! NOOOOOO!!! Amazing.. Temperature is from 23°C to 28°C!!! Current temperature is 27°C!!! (at 10am, that is.. For more updates please go to Yahoo! Weather. Hehz.)

Aiyo I'm lame..

Anyway, I can't believe I managed to get a PC in the library!!! Maybe the new system is working... Or maybe it's a Friday and everyone is lazing at home....

Anyway, new system.. We have to book for our PC at the library now.. Cool eh? There's a PC booking station, and apparently each student is only allowed an hour! I think it makes sense la.. People used to keep hogging the stations it's very irritating!

Okay, random-thoughts-Zee has one last thing to say:

HAPPY FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH!!!

Steeeeeeeeeeeeak!

2006-01-12T23:56:00.000+08:00

Me wanting Steak. Medium Rare Pleeeease!

I think watching Sex and the City makes me very hungry.. Whatever they eat, I feel like eating. Bah.

NeuroZee

2006-01-12T02:39:00.000+08:00

I'm neurotic. Just a phase, RIGHT?

Argh.

Pasta Pasta Pasta...

2006-01-11T05:01:00.000+08:00

Just any kind of pasta... Pastamania actually sounds good now.. Vin went there on Monday and didn't bring me. Blegh. I so wanna eat pasta.... NOW!!! Stupid pig. (I'm referring to me, not Vin.. Although he is quite a pig.. Heh...)

Argh! I wanna eat pasta now.......

Grrr.. But it's 5 in the morning. Bah.

First Week of my Last Semester...

2006-01-10T00:28:00.000+08:00

Milo.

Wow.. Monday is free day, Tuesday holiday, Wednesday's only lecture cancelled, Thursday free day, Fri only day with lessons...

Ain't that an extremely shiok first week?

Just when I don't wanna miss so many lessons anymore (because it's my FINAL semester and I'm so gonna miss studying......), they had to make my first week so slack.. Grr.. At the same time, yay! Hehe..

Anyway, I just realised that I haven't officially announce the five modules that I'll taking for the very last semester in NUS in my life.. (Doubt I'll come back to study more.. Haiz.. Graduation sucks...)

Yupz.. So I should really talk about the five modules and the sucky bidding process...

Round 1A
-----------------------------------------
Allocated Modules
-----------------------------------------
Module Code : NM3217
Module Title: PUBLICATIONS GRAPHICS AND DESIGN

-----------------------------------------
NM3217 is my last NM module to fulfill all my requirements for graduation. Last week, after I've gotten a few of the modules that I wanted, I decided to add my last semester's modules to the list of modules that I have taken so far.. Yes, I do keep record of my list of modules taken for my personal reference.. And I also added last semester's modules for my two majors into my list of requirements. And then, to my disgust, I realised that my requirements ARE FULFILLED by the end of this sem!!! That's when it really hit me that I really am going to GRADUATE... Sucky feeling I'm telling you. I don't wanna go out to work. I wanna continue living in denial, in my little bubble of happiness. Haiz..

Oh I was supposed to talk about my NM module right.. Sorry, sidetracked for quite a bit.. Bleh.. Anyway, my final NM module to fulfill my Shared Major requirements.. It's sorta like a upper level of my NM module (NM2220 Introduction to Media Writing).. I'm assuming here la, because NM2220 is a prerequisite... Anyway, same lecturer (errrr not my favourite la...).. Same gang... But Jono and Darryl not taking the same tutorial as me liao... :S Hopefully Jojo is taking the same as me.. If not I'll have to try so hard to make friends again.. Haiz...

Round 2A
-----------------------------------------
Allocated Modules
-----------------------------------------
Module Code : SSB2216
Module Title: EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT IN SINGAPORE

Module Code : GEK1005
Module Title: CULTURES IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD

Module Code : NM3217
Module Title: PUBLICATIONS GRAPHICS AND DESIGN

-----------------------------------------
SSB2216 is this business SS module that I'm taking with Lay, Elvin, Nara and her big gang of friends. This module is quite special, while bidding for the Seminar timing, we have to bid for the group that we wanna be in, so I was told by Nara to choose SB37.. And so apparently, out of the 25 students in the SB27 Seminar class, about 10 are our own people.. Hehehe... Basically Nara's gang in Singapore and the gang of good friends she made when she was in UBC.. Lessons actually started on Saturday, but I was unable to go because of my German classes, so I still have no idea what is going on.. Bah.

GEK1005 seems like a promisingly good module.. Taking with Lay, Winnie and Nara.. But once again, I think no one taking tutorials with me.. But I don't even know if I will get the tutorials or not. Bah. Anyway, this module is a Sociology module. I know, I'm getting myself killed... But who knows? Maybe I rock in Sociology. Hehe.. Module is about "the social world that we all inhabit".. Hehe.. Anyway, it does sound like an interesting module to me.. Looking forward to first lecture on Fri... ;)

Round 2B
-----------------------------------------
Allocated Modules
-----------------------------------------
Module Code : SSB2216
Module Title: EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT IN SINGAPORE

Module Code : GEK1005
Module Title: CULTURES IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD

Module Code : LAG1201
Module Title: GERMAN 1

Module Code : NM3217
Module Title: PUBLICATIONS GRAPHICS AND DESIGN

-----------------------------------------
LAG1201 is a cheaterbug module.. But not very much so actually. Okay, thing is I do have some foundation in the German Language.. I take German at Goethe Institut, but my level ain't that high.. So as much as it may seem like I'm at an advantage, it is only a tiny teeny weeny advantage for like the first two weeks.. Mainly because the pace is so much faster in NUS.. Goethe would want students to take their time, so that they can take our money.. NUS is out to educate people, well, at least most of the time.. Anyway, I'm SUPER LOOKING FORWARD to this module.. *excitement*

Round 2C
-----------------------------------------
Allocated Modules
-----------------------------------------
Module Code : SSB2216
Module Title: EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT IN SINGAPORE

Module Code : JS2226
Module Title: GLOBAL CITY TOKYO

Module Code : GEK1005
Module Title: CULTURES IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD

Module Code : LAG1201
Module Title: GERMAN 1

Module Code : NM3217
Module Title: PUBLICATIONS GRAPHICS AND DESIGN

-----------------------------------------
Last and final module that I bidded for was JS2226... It was a very last minute decision to take a JS module.. Because we were unable to get the Biz module that we wanted (Consumer Behavior).. So on that day, which coincidentally is the day that Nara came back from Canada, Lay and I had to rush home after receiving Nara at the airport (Okay, that's another fun story that I should blog about... But I keep forgetting...) to bid... So instead of going to our individual homes, I decided to go to her place to bid for a same module so we can take together... We reached her place at 3pm sharp, right after close bidding starts.. After which, we decided to drop Consumer Behavior once and for all.. And we started looking for a suitable module that doesn't ruin our free days AND sounds interesting AND has low bidding points AND that we fulfil the prerequisite.... Sounds like a tough job huh? Well, IT IS!! Grrr... We had such a hard time! So after going through details of about a million modules, ranging from Arts to Biz to Engin to SoC to Sci to every other fac we can see, we finally found one that was one of our first few choices.. For some weird reasons, even though we had, prior to bidding, been interested in JS2226, it never did cross our minds on that day to look at the details of this module.. So finally after nearly TWO hours of deliberation and nearly missing the bidding ending time, we finally put our FINAL module down... JS2226...

So yeah, that was the long and arduous FINAL bidding period that I will go through ever again.. To say the truth, I'll miss the bitch of it.. I really will.. Haiz..

Anyway, more to come, my tutorial balloting.. Hahaha guess I won't have to miss it that much longer huh? Hehz.

Heavy thoughts.

2006-01-09T15:22:00.000+08:00

Warning: Serious entry..

This problem again. Through the past few years, thoughts like this have been very seriously entertained by me. Wondering which are the real ones and which aren't.

Many times, this year especially, I wonder, are they real? They come and go, leaving memories, but are they to stay? Who am I to judge them? But yet, who are they to make me feel like that?

Maybe you understand what I'm talking about, maybe not. I'm not gonna bother explaining. Issues like this have to be settled individually. But never once had I have the courage to face them. Not even now, not even after this entry.

Sometimes they go missing just like that, without a trace. And they may now and then appear just for a fleeting moment, getting me so emotional, and then leave. Seriously, why do they? Yes, it's a generalization, but a lot do.

Very confusing. For you and for me.

Get me some real ones and I may brighten up. Or maybe it's just not meant for me.

Say with me: Poooo Taaaah Toe!

2006-01-09T03:14:00.000+08:00

Sticky Potato Salad..

Totally craving potato salad... Like the one I had when I was catching the Surprise Screening.. It was sticky and actually quite disgusting.. But I liked it quite a bit.. Hehehe... Oh well.. Not gonna get that.. Bah. But good to be able to blog about it.. Hehehe...

Cravings of a Girl...

2006-01-09T01:29:00.000+08:00

Thai Glass Noodle.

Tang Hun Soup.

Sushi.

Tom Yum Soup.

Haiz... Too many supper nights during the holidays.. Making me crave funny foods at night.. Hahah.. No, I'm NOT pregnant.. Just a stupid greedy girl craving for foods... Hahaha was telling Vin I wanted Sushi.. Right before my mummy's yummas Lontong dinner.. How could I!!

Anyway, due to my cravings, I have decided to change my blog name! Hahahah.. Fine I know I'm lame.. But I, being a not very interesting person, have nothing to blog about... At least not until I start lessons... My final semester of my life... Milestone.. Scary... Haiz..

Anyway, this entry is just for me to list out my cravings... Hehe..

Josh Duhamel..

2006-01-06T00:08:00.000+08:00

Is this guy cute or what...

His name is Josh Duhamel, from TV show Las Vegas. He is my latest hottie.. Shameless, I know.. Hehe anyway, this guy is not exactly SUPER HOT.. But in the show, he's cute and he is so charismatic... Yummas!

Josh Duhamel plays Danny McCoy, a former U.S. Marine and Las Vegas native, who works under Big Ed Deline (James Caan), the head of the elite surveillance team for the Montecito Resort & Casino.. Big Ed loves him, so does every single female in the entire casino, which includes Mary Connell (Nikki Cox, HOT..)... Mary is Danny's longtime buddy, since the age of two. They had their first kiss in fourth grade but they were never together.. Sparks and chemistry all over, but they somehow just don't dare to take that major step to be together.. So they had sex, like a few times, but they don't get together as a couple.. Complicated huh?

Anyway, just thought to blog about this guy that gets me crazy in the show.. Love him! Hehe... Hot! Las Vegas is hot too! Can check out the details of the show at tv.com... Or the show's official website (above).. Hehe.. Check it out okie? :p

Anyway, more pictures of my hottie... Hehe..

Something I refuse to say, but should say anyway, this hottie is dating Fergie from Black Eyed Peas.. Haiz......

Surprise Screening...

2006-01-04T23:17:00.000+08:00

On Monday night, just before we went to bed, early I might add, Vin and I decided to catch a movie the following day, which was yesterday lah (duh)... Then he mentioned something about a surprise screening at Plaza Singapura Golden Village.. So I checked it out and it turns out that there's a special screening of a "never-screened-before" movie.. At ONLY $5 per ticket, you can watch a "Surprise Screening" of a certain movie that they do not announce... But they assure movie-goers that the show is a "never before screened" and "family friendly"... Other than that, there wasn't much infomation.. It was just listed as Surprise Screening. Only one show that day, that week, in fact, one show like that thus far.. So we, being cheapskates (and "adventurous" as Vin puts it), decided that we should go ahead and make an internet booking for the show....

So on Tuesday evening, at 6 plus, we ta-pao-ed our dinner and excitedly walked into the smallest theatre that GV Plaza has... With much anticipation, which I'm sure everyone was experiencing, we watched the start of the show.. Felt a bit like Pride and Prejudice's start, which got Vin and I worried for just a little bit.. But names started to come up... Kurt Russell, Dakota Fanning, er and the rest I don't know liao.. Wahahahahha... So I was like, hmmmmm Kurt Russell... Sounds like good.... While thinking about RUSSELL CROWE..... Stupid girl....

Aaaaaaanyway, show title FINALLY came up... Show's called Dreamer.... Errrrr, but it can well be called Seabiscuit and I would not have been able to tell the diff... Okay, maybe I would be able to.. But it's the same idea la.. Horse with high hopes injured... Horse healed... Horse meets pseudo-end... And miracle happens... And finally, horse wins... Happy ending... Supposedly based on a true story..... Just like Seabiscuit... Ehm, actually I don't remember much about Seabiscuit... But it seems to be about the same la.. Because I was constantly reminded of the Seabiscuit show when I was watching Dreamer... Just another horse race miracle show... Er, but according to Vin, Seabiscuit was much better... Really don't remember much.. That's why I said, it could well be called Seabiscuit and I won't know the difference.. Hehe.. Mainly because my memory ain't that great, plus I don't know many Hollywood stars... (Considering I can mistake Kurt RUSSELL for RUSSELL Crowe... Quite obvious huh?)

Anyway, $5 only what, can't expect a lot.. But I suppose the show is worth 5 bucks.. But probably no more than that? So ya..

Inspirational..

But quite a big copy...

Hehe.. I shall be lame and rate it too!

Upon 5 popcorns, I give it...

First blogskin change!

2006-01-02T04:22:00.000+08:00

Inspired by my silly boyfriend (who is starting a blog once again, shall update the link after he's done with setting it up), I have decided to change my blogskin! It's quite a bit like my previous one actually.. Cannot help it la, I like pictures like that I guess? Anyway, after hours of modifications, I finally have it up!

Well, although it's similar to my previous one, I have decided to add stuff to my "meeeeeee" section.. A small entry about what I like to do, I think.. Usually I don't know what to write, so I didn't bother to put anything.. But now at least I have tried to say some stuff in that section la.. Hehe...

Anyway, I guess I would be sticking to this blogskin for quite a while.. Just like I did with the previous one...

WOW! I just did a check, and my last blogskin change was in Dec 2004!!! Goodness! Hahaha... To think when I just started I was so into blogging I kept changing my blogskins that people actually complained. Hahaha.. Lazy blogger I have become!

Anyway, enjoy the Zee's Blogskin for the Year! Hee..

Okay onto something else...

First of all!!! HAPPEEEE NEW YEAR!!!!!

Hehehe.. Many firsts of the year today (as in 1st Jan 2006).. Duh, since it's the First day of the year...

Firsts:
.Drive @ 12mn (on ECP, driving to jam so that we can see fireworks, with Vin and Lay)
.Kiss @ 12mn (on the car, on ECP, watching fireworks, with a lightbulb in the back seat.. Heh sorry Lay... But you were in the backseat! Haha..)
.Hug @ about 1am (because before that I was driving)
.Supper @ 130am (with a bunch of close friends at home)
.Mackers brekkie @ 5am (very cool lor! I had the first bite of the VERY FIRST Sausage McMuffin with Egg of the Year made in the 24-hour McDonald's in Bedok!)

Hahaha actually my point of the above paragraph was just the first bite of the VERY FIRST Sausage McMuffin with Egg of the Year bit.. Whahahhahaha... Actually I only had the first bite.. Because it was my sister's Sausage McMuffin with egg! Whahahhaha...

Anyway, that's all for the day! Hehehe.. Happpppeeeee New Year Everyone!!!! Have a great 2006! ;)

My Grades?

2005-12-25T02:59:00.000+08:00

You Have A Type B+ Personality

B+

You're a pro at going with the flow
You love to kick back and take in everything life has to offer
A total joy to be around, people crave your stability.

While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity.
Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's done
You're passionate - just selective about your passions

Do You Have a Type A Personality?

Hmmmm does this sound like me to you? A little I guess.. Taking everything life has to offer sounds like a slacker who does not go out to make something happen for herself.. Hahaha that sounds like me alright... Hehe.. Pro at going with the flow? Hmmmm maybe, Hate to make decisions for groups.. Worried about them not liking what I plan etc etc.. Yeah sure, that's me.. And I think the "won't stop until it's done" sounds like me.... As in I'm the kind that if I feel that I need to do something, I MUST do it... Doesn't even matter if I'm not supposed to do it... Errrrr that applies to most things only lah.... Alot of other things I also bochup... Hehe.. Selective about my passions? So I have few passions? Maybe.. Hahahah sleeping considered passion? Heheh... But well, the grade sounds good enough for me la... Like Vin says, I "have to learn to live with mediocrity...."

Bangkok: Zee needed these......

2005-12-19T13:19:00.000+08:00

Stuff I needed to survive this trip.....

Lots, lots, lots of rest....

In a big comfy bed....

On the superior floor... We were bumped up to a Superior Room, instead of the Deluxe Room that we booked, for free!!! Because the hotel was out of Deluxe Rooms... Wicked!!!

The pweeeeetty hotel... The Twin Towers Hotel...

But the locals pronounce it "Ter Te-Weeen Towerrr"....

Taxis to bring me around! So I didn't have to be walking unneccesary distances!! Heh...

And dirty tuk-tuks to bring me around in the dirtiest possible way....... This one at least looks DECENT... Because it is the hotel's tuk-tuk... The ones I sat were much dirtier and less spacious!!!

And tell me, WHO doesn't neeeeed food????

Yummy Yummy Snacks......

While I can't give them enough credits, I can't find a decent picture of my trusty and colourful and pretty plastic zippity-bags.... They are huge by the way... And definitely very fashionable.. Grooooooovy!

The blue one above was bought in Hong Kong and the pink one below was bought during this trip.. We brought the pink one around to put all the stuff that we buy... It's sometimes not enough.. But we had to make do... Hahaha.. Oh! And we took turns to take it... But mostly, it's Erjie carrying it, since I'm a lousier shopper....

Stuff I saw when I was shopping to perk me UP! Like a crazy woman..... She had the Christmas Decor as a wig and she changes colours probably everyday (she was in two different colours on two different days that I went Sam Pheng).... To match her clothes I presume....

Or a puny dog...

Teeeny Weeny Doooog!

Isn't it so tiny!!!!

Act cute moments...

It's neccesary to act cute, really... Kills boredom, you know?

Some hiao moments

Okay, fine, Many Many Many hiao moments....

Yupz.. Hiao-ing in the hotel room as well...

Okay... A lot more, but this is the last that I will torture you with.... ;)

Many many pairs of comfy comfy shoes to help me survive the endless toturous shopping that my Shopping Queen Sister did... We bought a lot more.. Only wore these during the trips though......

Last but not least........

A crazeeeee sister....

(Haiz.. This blogpost has been a killer... Was doing it in the morning before I slept, like from 12 plus to about 3 am ++, and my stupid PC crashed.... Luckily I remembered what I said and everything... Three hours were gone like that.. Now the finished product... Please appreciate hor.....)

What killed Zee in Bangkok?

2005-12-18T16:48:00.000+08:00

Okay... Fine, so my Bangkok trip was about a week ago, but I still wanna blog about it.. But since I'm like in the middle of a little project that my aunt got me to help her with, I shall do my Bangkok trip in smallER doses.. It's also a friendlier method.. For you and for me... But this is still a very long post.. Main post ma... Just read la... Heheh...

Okay.. So what killed me in Bangkok?

*Drumrolls*

The endless shopping!!!!

Surprise Surprise right? If you really think that I can shop endlessly, Meet my sister......

Look at how happy she was on the way back to hotel from shopping!!

Anyway, from the start of the trip.........

After we reached at about 4pm SG Time.. We went to Mah Boon Krong... Mah Boon Krong is one happening shopping centre in Bangkok.. We always go there whenever we go Bangkok.. But things have changed and the stuff there, though still happening, have gotten very much more expensive...

So shopping there wasn't too much fun.. But thanks to the shopaholic sister of mine, we managed to go out of MBK and move on to greener pastures... We went to this place with many many many MANY small shops which sell many many many MANY different things.. From clothes, to shoes, to clothes, to accessories, to shoes, to bags, to accessories, to clothes, to bags, to shoes, to clothes, to accessories, to bags, to clothes, to shoes, to bags, to accessories to anything that all girls need... I managed to get a pair of okay-looking denim skirt... Fantastic shopping there, although quite killing (because my legs were killing me..), but still was a little fun.. Hehe.. And we bought quite a lot of things.. I bought about 10 pairs of earrings (Some are for friends hor...) that night..

Then it was time for Patpong.. We left for Patpong (a night market) so late it was unbelievable.. How can any sane person be leaving for shopping at 1145pm?! Even in Bangkok time, it was 1045pm!! But oh well, it's a night market and it's a must-go for my family and me whenever we go Bangkok.... It's a street with a lot of stalls set up only at night for shoppers that didn't get enough in the day... Along the stretch of stalls are Clubs and Pubs.. Strip Clubs available too.. Hahah.. So when shopping there, you will sometimes be pulled by the "bouncers" to go inside for "Thai Girl Shows" (commonly known as "Tiger Shows"... Hahaha, it was then that I realised what that "Tiger" is a misprounciation of "Thai Girls")... Anyway, saw a pair of nice denim skirt but price haggling went unsuccessful so I didn't buy....

Anyway, my legs were in major pain when we were shopping through the street.... But even after Patpong closed, at 1am BKK Time, we continued to walk along the road, as there are a lot more street stalls... Tired Tired Pain Pain......

Finally, at 2am BKK Time (3am SG Time!!!), we left that place for the hotel... Can you believe it? We shopped from 4 in the afternoon till 3 in the morning!!! Goodnesss......

The next day (Sunday, 11 Dec), we went Chatuchat... The weekend market that she so looks forward to... And I so did not... Mainly because I knew she would shop till I dropped... dead.. Hahahaha.. Which she kinda did, but thankfully for me, she left me somewhere to sit after I started complaining about my legs in pain, no longer just aching, they were in PAIN... AND I was still having diarrhoea from when I was in Sngapore.... Brrr.. So I went to sit down some stupid open air hot "cafe" to sit.. It's very hot there.. Chatuchat was hot by itself... And the place was cooking so it's exceptionally hot..

While I was resting myself, falling asleep, calling Dear, eating, drinking and what-not, Erjie was happily shopping, shopping and shopping... Bought a lot more things than when I was shopping with her.. Hahah.. And she got me the pretty denim skirt that I was eyeing in Patpong.. So sweeeeeet right? Hee..

After Chatuchat, we decided to go back and drop our buys (er, more of her buys.. Heh) at the hotel.. And I decided to con her into showing me all the stuff that she bought when I was at the "cafe".. So as to gain more time for myself to rest before she goes crazy shopping again...

But we did leave for shopping after an hour of her parading around in all her new stuff..

We went back to MBK again... But this time we didn't shop much there.. Instead, we went to this new shopping place called Siam Paragon... We discovered it on the first day... Went back there on the 2nd day....

Can't see very clearly, but the outside of this place is very prettily decorated...

The inside is busy like mad.....

With a BEEEEEEG supermarket....

First of all, Siam Paragon is NEW... Like Super New.. Hahaha when we first discovered it, 10th Dec, it was only the SECOND day of opening!!! The official date of opening was 9th Dec... Cool right? Another thing about this place is that it ONLY sells high-end stuff... Er... Dont't rememeber the rest, but there were definitely Gucci, Burberry's and probably higher ranges... Tag Heuer maybe? And there were many Thai brands that are very high end as well.. Don't remember the names liao la.. But all I cannot afford one la.. Hahaha.. Anyway, so this place was damn cool....

Anyway, we wanted to go there for a nice dinner, but it turned out to be shite.... It's a restaurant-like place I think.. It's like those in Wisma, several restaurants in a clutter.. Except that the one there was quite lousy.. Service was bad, food was slow AND not that great....

Look at how sad she is...

Anyway, inside this place, there were some cars on display.. Not just any cars.. There were Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and one other which I don't remember what liao....

Sleeeeeeek.. Wouldn't mind having one of these, even for just a day..... Dreeeeeeam.........

The next day (a.k.a the third day, Monday, 12 Dec), since I was quite dead from the previous two nights' shopping, I decided to stay in... So my Shopping Queen sister went out on her own to MBK and the shops in its periphery...

When she came back at about 2pm BKK Time, we left for the next shopping place.. It's called Sam Pheng.. Near Chinatown... This place is the highlight of our trip man..

Busy busy busy shops stretch across many many many streets...

This place sells all kinds of stuff, for kids, for women, for men (less), for aunties, for housewives, for retailers, for shoppers, for distributors, for everybody! Mostly for women/retailers selling women's stuff though.. Seriously, it's so obvious that women's money is so much easier to con! Women's accessories are all over this place... And going at disgustingly low prices... Earrings are 10 baht a pair! That's 40c! Goodness.... To think I've been buying $5 earrings all over Singapore.. And I keep thinking that $5 is super cheap... Sam Pheng sells stuff that are sold in Singapore, for way way WAY lower prices! And so we went crazy... One thing though.. Shopping here, no haggling of prices allowed.. Prices are fixed, very low but very fixed.. And everything goes at wholesale prices and wholesale amounts.. Meaning if I like one or two designs of earrings, Erjie and I would have to choose about 10 other designs to make it a dozen so they will sell us.. So expectedly, we bought a lot of earrings.. Erjie bought more than I did la.. I only bought about 20 pairs of earrings in the whole trip.. 18 for myself and a few for others, to be exact.. ONLY.. Hehe...

Shopping at Sam Pheng was killer.. And we ONLY went through one tiny stretch of the entire place.. But it was very shiok to shop there, because the shops are so close together that you would find yourself stopping to look and buy more than you are walking through the street... And it's very fun to keep hearing the sellers saying "Retail no sale, Wholesale Ply Oni" in their cute Thai accent... And the thing is both me and Erjie had adopted their accent and kept asking them for the "Wholesale Ply".. Hee..

And of course, after Sam Pheng closed for the day at 7pm SG Time, my shopper sister didnt have enough and so we went back to Patpong for the night...

Me in the midst of crazy shoppers

Okay, I know I look shocked here.. We were trying to be funny....

And the last day had us going back to the Two more important places of the trip.. Sam Pheng and the street shops near MBK.... Hehe.. Buying more more more stuff....

All in all, shopping in Bangkok is great, even though I was with a Killer Shopping Queen who refuses to leave wherever we were shopping despite the fact that I was having diarrhoea and my legs were in major pain most of the time.... Heh.. I was killed several times by the endless shopping... I really was.. Thankfully the pretty stuff revived me.......

@Home: Me and all of our Buys!!!

(Wow.. This post took me 4 hours... Because I was doing my aunt's stuff as well... It's now actually 9pm.... Heh..)

Bangkok Here I Come!!!

2005-12-10T10:20:00.000+08:00

Yeah! Going Bangkok!!!! LEaving in FIVE MINS!!! (errrr, for the airport I mean... Hehe...)

Will be back in FOUR days!!!

Please miss me!! Whahahahahahha.....

Byeeeeee~!

Get to know Zee better

2005-12-06T01:08:00.000+08:00

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Take the Get to Know Yourself Quiz here!

My Comments:
Well, I don't know how much of that is true.. Some stuff seems pretty accurate... Lemme see... The life partner thing is probably true? You know, in relationship(s), what I look for would be the possibility of seeing myself with the person in strong commitment... That kinda thing, I guess...

I like the part about successes in life.. I do like the idea that I'm confident of my success in future.. As to whether or not I am.. I guess I am confident that I can accomplish something in future.. As to what it is, I still can't decide.. So ya.. Hehe.. But ya, I probably would not let anything stop me from trying...

And the most accurate thing is the "afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble"... Seriously, I can be quite dependent sometimes. I need my friends, my family, and definitely my deardear with me when I'm down or unhappy... As much as the sentences contradict themselves, I think that could be pretty much the most accurate way to describe my "fear"? Not the most afraid, but do feel a little scared sometimes.. So ya...

All in all, fun quiz and moderately accurate results. ;)

pic-cee up again...

2005-12-05T02:09:00.000+08:00

Haiz.. Maybe you haven't noticed.. My pic-cee section has beeen down since quite a while ago... Well... Before the exams, I found out that stupid MyPicGallery had freezed my account and asked me to pay for using their webbie to share my pictures... HMPH! I refuse! Hehe.. Now that it's after exams, I have found a new place for my piccees... Shutterfly!! It rocks! Erm, actually I like MyPicGallery more... But I refuse to pay.. So I shall settle for free Shutterfly! Hehe.. Anyway, most of my pictures that I uploaded onto MyPicGallery are not uploaded on Shutterfly.. Simply because I'm a lazy bum.. So there're only the few piccees.. So ya.. But feel free to view them! Everything is under, well, the everything!! link.. Can also access here: @ Dolphene.Shutterfly!

Like, Totally Liberated and High, For Sure!

2005-12-02T01:44:00.000+08:00

Last day of EXAMS!!!! Whoooohooo! Feel so free... Heheh.. Although I was already enjoying myself for the past three days, today is the Official Day of End of Exams!!! Wheeeee... Yeah So Totally Liberated! Heee..

First of all... Paper was quite fine, errrrrr, a few mistakes here and there, but in general WILL NOT FAIL.. Hehehe.. For that, I deserve a major break! And so a break I had!!!

Since don't know when, two friends and I have decided to KTV on the last day of Exams (since all three of us end on the same day...) SO KTV WE WENT! Hehehe.. After paper ended, which was super early because the paper was like super short (so most people ended by the end of the first hour), Jono had to run some errands, so Jojo and I went Munchie Monkey to stone for a bit.. Then we headed to Arts Canteen for me and Jono to stone and have "lunch" (I had my lunch already, so it was mainly Jono eating la.. I snacked.. Hehe..) while Jojo did her stuff...

At 5, it was Town Time! Hehehe.. Headed down to town for a little shopping before A WILD TIME at KBox... Heheh.. Jono was super lame, so he was imitating many different characters from the posters on the walls of Cineleisure....

One that I managed to capture:

Wahahah Nice huh? He's MAD la... He did Harry Potter, Sarah Jessica Parker, and So many more!!!

Well, that's the only one I managed to capture.. Anyway, so off we went to KTV! And we got soooo high! Three hours, DAMN, was so not enough! We were sooo high, I took a vid of the two of them singing a very nice duet (广岛之恋！) But toooo dark to see their faces.. Hahaha.. But yeah it was quite nice.. KBox's mics Suck! Grrr.. One was too loud and one was too soft! GRRR... But oh well, Super Fun still.. Hahahah we were chased out of the place man! Hahaha I think we over-sang quite a bit!! Wahahah.. SHIIIIOK!

After KTV was a super long walk along Orchard Road.. Erm it's actually a very short distance, but man, We were so mad!! We were like SINGING while walking and a littttttle dancing! Waahah Just Prancing la.. Hehehe.. I think Jojo and I too high liao.. Jono had NO CHOICE but to join in! Wahahah.. After a lame walk along Orchard, we decided that there's nothing exciting in town to eat.. So off to River Valley for prata we went!!

Hilarious times during supper man! Jono was teaching us some bimbo cheer.. Whahhah Super Lame... Okay, here goes:

Four, three, two, one
Like Totally, for sure!
*showing pretty nails*: I even got a manicure!
*caring for hair*: The sun, I swear, is bleaching out my hair!
*counting the colours*: Red, purple, yellow, green
What is the color of my team?
*giving heck-care looks*: I don't know, I don't care!
*holding preeetty hair*: How should I do my hair?
*giving lame punches*: Go, Go! Fight, Fight!
*giving vain looks*: Gee I hope I look alright!
*victorious*: Like, GO! Like, GO! Like, GO!
Team.. Yeah!! Wooo..

(c)Jono Goh

(I would like to Officially Thank Jono Goh for the bimbo check! ;p)

But I'm super tired... Slept only four hours today... And had so much fun after the paper that I am even more tired!! Okay... I should sleep after watching Joey!! Wahahah...

Advertisement.. Nice...

2005-12-01T01:56:00.000+08:00

Heheheh just realised I kinda neglected my last paper too much.. Now MUGging big time.. Seriously trying very hard to get stuff in before 1 p.m. tomorrow.. Haiii.. Anyway, a fwen sent me this link.. Super funny... Hmmm but I think it's banned.. So enjoy this! Hehe..

Oh, don't worry, it's nothing scary... I HATE SCARY LINKS! (Note for future reference: Anyone, ANYONE AT ALL, who sends me scary links, knowing that they scare the major crap out of me, shall never hear from Jiazi ever again!)

Anyway, it's an advertisement.. Damn funny...

XBox 360 Advertisement (Must must must click.. Very funny ;p)

Check out Who misses Me! Haha....

2005-11-24T22:19:00.000+08:00

You see that tagboard there??? OMG! It's SOOO SWEET RIGHT??? My Christine dear misses me!!!! Heee...

heheh a larger view of the Taggie! (Because the previous one actually not big enough to see... erm if u still can't see, go die! hehe..)

Quote: "Chris: I MISS XU JIAZI!"

Hehe, just thought its very sweet, so decided to blog about it.. Anyway, just a little update... Paper today.. Hmm not very sure leh... seemed quite sucky and yet okay.. I mean I suppose I can't hope to score very well for it, but it's not that bad that I have to worry about a C or D for the module? Haiz.. I think I should be happy about that, since I only spent like 6 hours IN TOTAL to study for this paper........ Yep...

Possible WoW Outing?

2005-11-24T02:29:00.000+08:00

Haiz. So it took WoW (half of it) about an hour plus to come up with what we should do with the $200 that we got.. Well, $180, because we exceeded our budget of $300 expenditure.. (Hehe.. More that half of it belongs to ME! My $240+++!!!! Hehe... ) So it's like we spent soooo long trying to come up with a date when everyone's free to "camp and BBQ and KTV"... And it's not even EVERYONE! It's only Me, Roo, Sue, and Ting!!! Haiz even so, the first three weekends in Dec have been vetoed... Sooooo, that leaves us 30th Dec.. Which I think could be the tentative date for us to do all the things! IF everyone else CAN make it too... GRrrr... Hahahah I think we should just go out and chill at kopitiam with beer la.. Hor roo roo? Hee..

Aaaaaaaanywaaaaaay... I spent the whole of today browsing through Victoria's Secret la! Bleh.. Because I may be able to get a secret someone to get some stuff I want for me! (Hehe.. A secret someone I WuRve! ;)) I shan't disclose yet, because I'm not sure if it's confirm yet... Have to discuss with Secret Someone first.. If got then I'll tell everyone, so I can officially thank S.S.!! Hehe.. Okay FINE I'm LAME! What can you do about it? Bah. Anyway, so I came up with a list of stuff I wanna buy and I actually prepared a DOCUMENT for the S.S!!! Hahaha erm S.S: Please MSN me ASAP? Before you go away for the weekend? Hehe.. I can't believe the CRAP I do during my exam period la! Grrr... Oh! And I tend to blog more during Exams too... If you haven't noticed.. Or if you're new to my blog.. Hahaha.. Aaaaaaaaaaaaanywaaaaaaaaaaay... So I have a .pdf file for the stuff I wanna buy from VS la.. Hahaha I'm Lame.. With cap L! Bleh...

So my whole day just went by like that.. HAIZ! Paper in 10++ hours and I'm blogging.. Pretty dead huh? Hope that a miracle will happen tomorrow.. A simple paper would mean that everyone would be more or less the same.. So Hopefully the curve will be less curvey, and Hopefully I'll be in the upper part of the curve... Haiz.. HOPEFULLY... But I am studying now la.. Just suddenly feel like blogging for a bit.. Haiz.........

Tagged.. And I have to do this.....

2005-11-21T14:17:00.000+08:00

Rules: Post 5 Weird and Random Facts about yourself, then at the end list the names of 5 people who are next in line to do this.

~~~

1. I'm not a taitai, despite what everyone thinks! I clean dog shit (erm, only Gougou's... the REAL one.. not the one on my blog)!!! But I lurve the taitai-ness in me that surfaces SOMETIMES.....

~~~

2. I'm quite a perfectionist... Especially when it comes aesthetics stuff... One very good example is the WoW ads.. Seriously, I get very anal about just one tiny dot more than what I want, or one bit of difference in colours.... Oh another thing is my powerpoints.. MUST be nice and very pleasing.. As far as I can help it, that is.... Oh, and my blog posts... Hehe.. No mistakes allowed....

~~~

3. It's hard for me to be proactive in making friends.. Okay, nothing much to comment.. That's just the way I am...

~~~

4. But after you know me better, I can be MAD LIKE HELL and my HYPERACTIVITY will kill you. Those who know me well will know that I'm super hyper ESPECIALLY when I'm super tired... That's not quite a weird fact, right?

~~~

5. I lurve myself a lot! And the weird thing is, it's all thanks to very mean things that happened to me when I was still in secondary one.... Being ostracised by a bunch of guys from across the same year ain't exactly the best feeling. But it was then that I fell in love with MYSELF! Hehe.. Kids do amazing stuff huh? Anyway, those guys, some of them became my very goooood friends... Most of them la.. ;) So they actually helped me in ways they don't know... (And I bet they still don't know...;))

~~~

6. (This point is added as a tribute to Nara...) I'm Super Bubbbbbly! Hehe... Nuff said! ;)

~~~

The List:
1. Nara!!!
2. Zarn
3. Jem
4. Jo

** Erm due to the limited number of people who read my blog.. and my evil disciple who took away the WoW bloggers... I shall just have 4 names........ I hope I get at least one response...... Okay Christine? **

Driver's High Baby!!!

2005-11-21T00:23:00.000+08:00

Whoohooo!! Guess what! Okie fine, those on my MSN would know by now... (Duh right, since I put it so blatantly on my personal msg... Hehehe..) But for the benefit of those not on my MSN list.... I JUST CAME HOME FROM DRIVING AN SLK FOR A DAY!!!!!!! WHooooohooooo!!! Super High and Ultra Shiok.. Nothing compares man! Okay fine, a lot of things compare.. But Damn this is shiok. The car is Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! And phhhh-ucking Sexy! Damn! WOOT~!

Okay, ya, it isn't mine... It's my auntie's... And Ya, I was only driving it for a day. But damn, it was high enough! Not enough for my entire lifetime, hell no, but enough for me to blog about it.. Wahahah. Oh well... Seriously, the car is damn compact, hell it's a two-seater (you know, like a motorcycle? hehz. well better obviously...). The ass is small like shit.. And the front is long like hell. (Erm sorry for the word choices, I just came back from chasing a dog which ran out.. Extremely angry with the dog.. Bah. Okay, that's another story.. Stupid Gougou..) Aaaaaaaaaaaaanywaaaaaaaaaaay, the car IS phoooooooooooooooooooooooo... And the SPEED! Sheeesh! I mean I haven't driven a lot of sports cars (only two i think... this and her previous one..), and I am damn sure there are better ones out there, But sheeesh this is one helluva drive! One gentle step and ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM~!! DAMN! And since it's so compact and so sleek, it can squeeze and cut lanes so smoooooothly... (the sleek part helps because people are looking and swoop! I cut! whahahaha)...

Okay lah, it's undeniably the sleeekiest car I've ever driven, and maybe the sleekiest I'll ever drive (unless I get another one Sleeeeeeekier... Which I just may.. Heheh...).. I haven't driven a lot of cars. But seriously this ride is waaaaaaay cool! Haiz.. My auntie is yucks (in the most endearing manner, mind you, I love this aunt. AND NO! Not because she has a cool ride..)! She is soooooo happening! Bleh.. Haha and she is so sweet and said that I wanna drive just tell her, she'll exchange with me.. Whahahah but who has the cheek to ask la! Bleh.. But it's good to have the option.. Hehe..

Erm can't remember what else I wanna say about the car la.. But it's ultra sleek.. Okay, secretly tell you all, I took pictures.. Okay I know, it's the most sua gu thing to do la.. But I figured, what the hell, it isn't everyday that I get to drive this baby.. So here goes!!!!

Oh, I took a vid too.. Hahah AS I was driving.. But i have no idea how to post it.. So well.. Plus it's lousy quality and no big deal, so yeeeeeah...

***** ADDED AFTER***

Hahahahah I remember what I wanna say liao!!! I DROVE WITH THE ROOF OPEN!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO! Man the feeling ROCKS! Indescribable man, seriously. Sheesh and it just rockS!!! Especially since I was alone and I had nice smoooooth music.. (Erm Class 95, but they were playing number ones la.. So it was greaaaaaaat! Damn and I seriously got a lot of people staring.. They must be thinking, god is fair.. With my looks, I need the money.. Whahahaha.. But oh well, I got people looking la.. Was another source of HIGH! WOOT~! Hmmm yah I think that's all I wanna say, I think........

New Tag-gee!

2005-11-19T14:57:00.000+08:00

Look to the RIGHT! Yesh! I have a new tagboard! Due to many complaints from people who wish to tag and are unable to, because the previous Shoutbox requires some cookies thing to be enabled, I've decided to be nice and create a NEW TAG-GEE!!!

After trying out like about 4 tagboard webbies, I've decided on this one, because it's not as advert-full as this other one I saw, it shows date, it has ultimate flexibility to the stuff that I can change to suit my bloooooogiee, and it sounds nice! Hahaha... So you all must appreciate my effort wor! Hehehe....

Erm people, try to fill it up a bit, because it now looks ultra empty.. And I feel unloved! Wahahahhahaha... But yeeeeeeah... Tag Me! ;)

I mounted IT!!!

2005-11-18T19:05:00.000+08:00

So after everything was over on Wednesday, each member could bring one poster home, and well, I chose the Leaning Tower of Pisa one! Hehe, so everyone mounted already, cept me.. Because I need to mount it using Interlocking Fasteners, can't use mounting strips because a bit of the adhesive will show, and my cupboard (I can only choose to mount there.) is brown, so the strips would be very obvious.

But! I've decided that I should temporarily mount it somewhere... So here's where i mounted it...

My toilet door!!! Wahahahha...

Hehe, nice huh?

Anyway, very sad, because I tore a bit of back of the poster!! *wails* Stupid me tried to shift the poster by taking it out by pulling, since I thought it's only 2 secs since I placed it. But IT TORE!!!!!!!!! GRRRRR... Luckily it's just a small tear at the back of the poster, so I'm not that upset, I think.. Heh.. But it's still very nice, right? ;)

WoW-ed them quite a bit... *Warning: Lengthy Post

2005-11-18T12:24:00.000+08:00

3Mers rocked, but WoW rocks even more!!!!

For those who don't know, while coming up with our IMC (integrated marketing campaign), my MKT group has changed our name from 3Mers to WoW, correlating to our IMC title.. It's actually Wonders of Command, but we related that to the Wonders of the World.. So we decided to call ourselves WoW! Hehe.. Well, we spent about 3-4 sessions to come up with the main idea behind our campiagn and then spent another few sessions to come up with the other marketing methods.. Well, the other parts were done by the rest of the group. My main contribution is the materializing of the advertisements from the ideas that they came up with.. I'm like the graphics girl in the group. Heh.. They actually call me the PHOTOSHOP MASTER.. Hahaha well, I'm very happy that i can contribute to the project in such an honourable way.. Heh, many thanks to everyone, because I was so discouraged during some periods, when I couldn't find anything to fit into our ads, and they were there.. WOW: I LURVE ALL OF YOU!!! EACH AND EVERYONE!!!! MUACKS!

So anyway, the project ended officially on Wednesday, 16th November 2005 at 7 pm (almost sharp).. Presentation had been at 12nn, so here's a detailed description of what we did for the 2 days before it was time...

T minus 50hours (12nn, Monday):
At 10am Monday morning, met up with Lay to send the all done up posters (that we spent the entire two weeks or so on) to print in A2 size. Went around Bras Brasah to check out the prices for the cheapest and fastest printing.. After almost an hour, decided on one very chic looking shop.. Placed all 7 files with them, told them the quantity and sizes we want (one A2 sized poster for EACH picture, and 3 A3 sized each..) and paid my deposit ($100! $105 upon collection) and went off to pick Winnie up. Off to AMK, to buy food for the rest and have lunch at Carolyn's.... And a whole afternoon of fruitless work (for me) started... They worked so hard I was so guilty that I was just stoning away, because I couldn't come up with anything. Haiz. Each of us did our own stuff, Wei Ling ppt slides, Carol and Lay the plan, Winnie and Su Juan (and me, supposedly) Photoshop.. After hours of coming up with nothing, something came to me, and I did the preparation work, so I will be able to continue when I get home after family dinner. Left Carol's at 7....

T minus 36 hours (12mn, Monday):
Reached home from family dinner to find out that everyone is hard at work at Carol's and no one was going home that night, cept Tng, because she had to.. Started on my Amazon Tree (we were supposed to try to show where we wanna put the advertisements, and the Amazon Tree was supposed to be placed in Dhoby Ghaut, so we must Photoshop the Tree, and photoshop it into a picture, showing the place we will place it) It took me at least 2 whole hours, and I couldn't come up with anything.. Then a picture came into my head and lucky for me, I managed to materialise it! Thank goodness.. At about 3 plus? My tree was complete! All I had to do was to add the signs and place it into the picture of the Dhoby Ghaut NEL Station!

The tree was done from scratch, and the picture had this huge carnation before the tree was placed.

That was done by about 430am, when everyone is still working extremely hard. Winnie Sujuan and Ting Photoshop and Lay and Carol the script for presentation. Me? Once again, I was stuck in the MRT pict.. We're supposed to put in the ads into the train, together with some household stuff to show that Command Adhesive can be placed anywhere. But I just couldn't do it. Finally, at 530am, I decided to send the pict to Winnie to do a bit of stuff for me.. Despite having his own stuff to do, Winnie helped me.. Then i dozed off.. Grrr...

T minus 27hours (9am, Tuesday):
Woken up by Winnie. Had to finish doing up my MRT picture... Finally got it done at 11am... Sent to Carol, who was gonna send everything to the same shop Lay and I went to print..

the floor was done by our amazing mr contractor Winnie Ang...

By this time, Everyone has finished their jobs cept me.. Bleah.. But well, I managed to send it to Carol at 11am.. Poor Carol.

T minus 20hours (4pm, Tuesday):
Went Bras Brasah AGAIN, to collect the A2 and A3 posters... And all those that Carol had left with the shop.... Rushed to school after that..... To meet Uncle Lee, erm, our lecturer (although halfway, we realised that Uncle Lee didn't wanna see us, haha, because we didn't have any problems for our survey part of the project that was completed about a month or so ago.. Shessh that seemed so long ago now...) Then we went to the room in which the presentations will be held, to have dry runs. That's when we realised that the stupid printing shop didn't print one of the ads! 7 ads and they printed only 6!!!! So I had to drive all the way from NUS back to the Bras Brasah Complex to collect!!!

T minus 16hours (8pm, Tuesday):
Got all the prints, together with one new set with our group name. Driving back to NUS with everyone's dinner... After eating, everyone got back to work.. I tried extremely hard to remember all my slides and stuff....

T minus 13hours (11pm, Tueday):
Finally, we had a complete dry run, although everyone was packing up the room when I was doing my part. But all was settled...

T minus 12hours (12mn, Tuesday):
Decided to go to Lay's place to add some spice into my script together.. Spent 3 hours there....

T minus 8hours (4am, Wednesday):
Finally settled down, started on typing out my script... Took two hours... Slept at 6am....

T minus 4hours (8am, The Day):
Woke up and rushed to sch, was late, but it's okay, because we don't have to sit in for other groups.

T minus 90minutes (10.30am, The Day):
Finally gotten EVERYTHING printed, we had to print the slides for the judges.. Headed to biz... Tried to keep a clear head while panicking for the presentation.. Wei Ling seemed so well prepared, whereas I was there trying to remember what I wanna say for each slide.. Visualising all the slides and everything...

T minus 30minutes (11.30, The Day):
Ready and all preped. I was prepared. Sitting in the room, waiting for IT to start. This is IT. "Are you nervous?" Lay asked. Me? I was more excited than nervous. Wanna show everyone our group's baby! I was honoured to be presenting! Can't wait!

And suddenly, this is it. We're the last group and we've started. Wei Ling, standing there in amazingly straight posture, introducing us, the members. Going on going on.. She was pretty good. Zai... And "next, I'll pass on to Jiazi to elaborate on the execution of our marketing campaign".

THIS IS IT!!! I went up, I froze up. Really freezed.. Never once had I kena stage fright. But what a lousy time for the first time! My most amazing project and I just stood there, stage fright. It had to go on. I had to present it all. I can't disappoint the group that has so much faith in me! So I started and evrything seems to slow down from there.. I was too nervous. Bleh..

Lucky for me (or unlucky?), it lasted for a while more, and I was back.. As all of them said, Jiazi was back.. Erm, not the best, but I guess I was a little more relaxed... Seriously, all thanks to this guy that lightened me up.. Made a funny comment, which totally made me feel like Jiazi again.. Haiz.. But I wasn't well prepared enough, so ya... So soon, the clock displayed 0 minutes left. Uncle Lee didn't stop me yet. Kept looking at me, hahah.. And I kept looking at him (winked at him once or twice), pleading him to try not to stop me, that I'm finishing. And then, that was ALL! I was done! Not the best, but we were done!

Judges comment.. I couldn't concentrate very well... Guess I was a little too disappointed in myself.. I don't get stage fright one! Why!!! Bleh. But it's all donE! We've finished! ALL the hardwork paid off!! The eventual product is definitely worth everything! We're very proud of ourselves. Extremely happy. We didn't have to win to know that we were good. My part of presentation wasn't great. But our concepts and everything were good.

T plus 2hours (1.30pm, The Day):
Everyone has had a great lunch, Decent Buffet Lunch!

Photo time!! We were all so proud of ourselves! So happy that it's all over!!

After many many pictures, I went ahead to drive deardear from school to NUS.. Heee. He waited with me for the prize presentation to come. It was set at 5pm, but there were delays...

T plus 6hours (6pm, The Day):
Prize Presentation.... Speeches, Wrap-ups, And all kinds of encouraging words by the judges....

Uncle Lee to announce... First consolation prize, wasn't us... Second consolation prize.. Wasn't us.. THIRD and FINAL consolation prize, WASN'T US!!!! YEah! We're AT LEAST THIRD... And 2nd Runner-up..... GROUP 6!!! That was us!! Not the best or 2nd, but well, THIRD is good.. We weren't disappointed... We got our well-deserved recognition.. We did.. We weren't half bad.. We did good..

After all the winners were anounced, we went around talking and taking pictures..

the proud seven! see the posters?? see the polarizing lights?

Guess what? Uncle Lee said that our ideas were unanimously (amongst all judges) agreed as the most creative! Get that! MOST CREATIVE!!! It's really a lot of Carolyn, but it was everyone's effort!!! Our group had been very cohesive and everything was done perfect! And we were the Most Creative! If only there was an award for it. But it's okay, I'm sure we all know we are good.. Heh.. And we did get third! And we each have a polarising light! Ain't that great? Wei Ling must have been the most excited.. Heh.. And seriously, we DID GOOD..

What a great day! This project had been very hectic, with many ups and downs, and times when everyone was totally shagged and totally discouraged. But we all survived it! We ROCK! WoW rocks! Seriously, WE ROCK! Hehz....

A Little Something for WoW......

Damn! I didn't get any studying done AGAIN! Why? Cos I was busy the whole night checking out c h r o m a s i a... It's a photoblog. With extremely moving pictures. Seriously, those pictures are impressive. I have no idea about this guy's background or anything. But he sure is a fantastic photographer. Visit the site whenever you're free. I assure you, you'll be stuck too.

Yupz, I spent the whole evening browsing through what must have been like 250 pictures? (I had four windows opened, and all I need to do is click the different windows for the different pictures to load.) Goodness, and I was so absorbed! I hadn't realised how late it was till, well, it was too late. Bah. BUT! But I did get some stuff done. Managed to materialize an ad (hmmm, I'm beginning to sound like Uncle Lee..) for the MKT proj.. At least tomorrow I will have something to show.. Hehe.. At least lah.. But I still didn't get my studying done. Damn. Shucks man. Haiz.

The manner I'm procrastinating, I'm gonna be deader than dead for this semester. As if my term-time performance ain't bad enough. Bah. Okay, I will try to get things done on Friday. Friday is frei-day. I'm frei on Friday.. Hehe.. Trying very hard to put my German lessons into good use.. (Frei=Free.. duh right...)

But I'm happy I managed to do something about the ad.. I was actually having a headache about how to materialise the very impressive idea by KaLouLing.. Man, seriously, I was totally floored by the very clever idea.. *bows to KaLouLing* Luckily I can sort of have some idea as to what to do. But, I'm not sure if the effect is as good as the idea.. So hopefully tomorrow the group will approve of the picture that I tried to put together.. :)

I'm still happy that I put in the effort to put KaLuoLing's idea into a possible visualization.. :) I shall sleep on it and look at it in the morning again, to make sure it's not too shabby to be shown.. Hehe..

Oh! I'm having Mackers Brekkie in the morning!! (Chants: "six triple seven, three triple seven. six triple seven, three triple seven. six triple seven, three triple seven.") Wheeeeeeee!!! Hehe. Nightz all!

Whatever happened to my study days???

Well, as the terrifying 24th Nov looms closer, I'm beginning to feel the pressure.. Yupz, that's the date of my first paper.. *panic* Remembering exactly that Monday of the 4th week, when I went to the Co-op to buy myself three notebooks, telling my Laylay that it's still not too late to start (which it wasn't..). It's been 9 weeks. Two months... And I'm still in the relax-and-take-it-easy mood. No, it shall stop... It MUST stop!!

So last weekend, I told myself, okay, this is the last enjoy weekend. From Monday onwards, I shall start studying hard. So Friday was Mahjong Night, Saturday Date Night and Sunday 3Mers Day (oh 3Mers is the group name of my Promotional Marketing module project group. Sorta started by me, the name.)

Monday was full day in school with THREE research participation, one tutorial, one meeting with the MKT lecturer and one lecture. That ended at 6pm, when dog-playing night started. Yupz, my family has a dog now. Well, at least for this week. Labrador/Golden Retriever (I have absolutely no idea.) The dog is endearing. 8 months old. Extremely playful. A little trained, but not enough. Ran out in the middle of the night.. Bummer. But we got it back alright. Oh, did I say? I played Mahjong on Monday as well. And there goes my Monday of "study hard"...

Tuesday public holiday. Ain't that always the greatest? Best time to study right? Well, 3Mers Day again. But at least that was productive. I love this project! We have to come up with a marketing plan to promote 3M Hooks with Command Adhesive. Rocks, doesn't it? And and and!! And there's a Cash Prize at the end of it! If 3M decides that our group has the best proposal, or 2nd or 3rd (out of 6 groups). Exciting right? Anyway, so Tuesday was Productive 3Mers Day... Dinner with Vincent after. Then Mahjong again.... There goes my "Study Hard" Tuesday...

Bah.

So last night, I told myself. Okay, well at least I don't have anything planned on Wednesday, I shall study then! Woke up a little before twelve, woken up by Erjie, who had accidentally let the dog run out of the house.. Had to go after the dog. Apparently the dog listens to me more. Haiz oh well, so I was awake. Went online to do Forum assignment.. Hahaha that means to contribute to the forum in order to get marks for my module.. EL module.. Bleah. So I was getting started on my "studying hard".. So excited... Little did I know as I went down for my lunch at about 2, a whole day of errands awaits me... Mum says BBQ tomorrow, Ah Girl has to go pay for the rental of the pit. Dajie says dog needs to be washed, Ah Girl has to buy shampoo and wash the dog. Oh well, since I was going to Bayshore to pay the pit money, might as well run my own errands right? Did some banking, bought some Zi-grooming stuff and dog-grooming stuff... Reached home about 5.30.. Bathed the dog, apply medication for it, and fed it. Then groomed myself.. Hahah shower, that is.. And now.. It's 8pm.. Haiz.. I shall study till late tonight. Hope nothing stops me...

Tomorrow is another long day. It's 3Mers Day again.. Let's hope it's Productive 3Mers Day... ;p

Whatever happened to my study hard days? Oh well.

3Mers!!!!!!!!
