:: superstar virgo ::

yeap, i went on a cruise on friday, just came back today.

been feeling rather moody lately.. even just before my trip i wasn't exactly v excited. was still using comp on friday itself n working on my flash web.. *stress* (no la.. i don't mean it)

feel irritated by pple. pple who cut my queue, pple who stand right in front of my camera when i'm taking photos, n the person who qiang my jing tou!! those of u who went on cruise before may know that there'll be a photographer taking pictures of everyone with the star cruise mascot. when i took mine, there was an old man right behind me n looking at the camera too!!!! argh!!! but nvm. i look terrible on the photo anyway.

ok let me tell u how i get to go for this cruise to nowhere on Superstar Virgo. it's actually organised by my mom's boss for the staff, but they can bring along their family members. my dad couldn't come because he had to work on sat. my mom's boss is super generous sia. it's free for her staff, on top of that, she gives them $88 each to spend on the cruise!!!

i share room with my mom n her colleague called Emily. checked into the room n went out for dinner. man, i gotta warn u that this entry is full of food. that's wad i've been doing during my whole trip - yup, eating. went to The Pavillion, Chinese restaurant. they serve each table a standard set of dishes - prawns, spinach, "shark's fin", otah + wu xiang n fish. the ship hasn't moved off yet, but the vibration of the engine is quite irritating.

guess wad. after dinner we went up to deck 12, Mediterranean Buffet for more food. there another shark's fin, but this time it's real one!! according to my mom la. n we had braised oyster too... yummy~~ i took a lot of desserts. haha.. including this chocolate mousse.. yummy~! finally saw a cute guy.

after that we (me + my mom + her colleague) went around exploring the facilities. then at 9pm the ship started moving off. i took a lot of photos n videos on the sundeck. i rem the last time i went on a cruise was pri 2... i almost got blown away cuz i was too light then (?!) n the wind was very strong. not so now. i learnt that Emily is also a Christian.

went back to the room n rest. went out for supper at 11.30pm at the Mediterranean Buffet. wasn't hungry, but i still ate. like there's no tomorrow. ha.. then at 12am i suggested we go watch movie at The Lido. there's this Stephen Fung n Gillian Chung movie called 49 days. ghost story. haha.. but nice. in cantonese somemore. after the show went back to sleep. it was 2am already.

at 6.30am i woke up to catch the sunrise. didn't see the sun at all, but saw the sky slowly getting brighter. then i went back to the room to change into sports attire n went to the gym. went on the tread mill first, v happy cuz i v long nv exercise liao.. =P the gym instructor advised me to land on my heels instead of pluntering. guess i learnt something new. yongcheng told us before, to land on our heels when running, also, but i didn't know y. so now i know~

went back to the room to wake up my roommates to go for breakfast. went to the chinese restaurant again (we only go to those free-of-charge places) had dim sum breakfast. shiok ah! there were har gao, porridge, custard buns, black sesame riceball/mua chee n uh can't rem. then went up to Med Buffet for tea n coffee. took some cereal too. went to explore more places like the observatory where we can see the pilot/captain n the consoles. cool~ all the staff are like from all over the world. but i didn't see any singaporean from the list.

watched 2 Become 1 at the Lido at 9.30am. nice show. i like the way Richie Ren looked at Miriam Yeung when they were in a bar in the movie, watching over her with a concerned look. sigh~

went for lunch. (so fast?!) at this restaurant called Bella Vista. i thought we cannot wear shorts n slippers in so i went back to the room to change. had octopus salad (better than the other choice julius caesar salad that has nothing but veggies) n i like it. the soup was Minestrone. i had turkey flute as main course. n Hot love for dessert. this vanilla ice cream with cherry. my mom ordered caramel pudding n i thought there was garlic or onion in it. she didn't think so. *shrugs*

went to watch Zathura in the Picture House. (a smaller theatre) rested a while (n i mean sleep) n then woke up for jacuzzi with emily at around 4+pm. the water was HOT. made reservation for pedicure at 7pm. i wanted to try the pool, but in the end didn't. went back for shower n then went back up to the poolside for bbq dinner. cool~ wanted to take photos of the sunset, but it was time for my pedicure already. went with emily too. they only have 2 spaces available so my mom could not join us. it was my first time. haha.. ticklish n cool. the foot bath was HOT also man. after tt went to casino. haha.. =x settled our bills. my mom sponsored $20 for the pedicure ($40).

then my cam went totally low batt. sigh. didn't bring charger. argh! went to the Med Terrace (outdoors of the Med Buffet) for a chat. learnt from Emily tt she went on missions before too. she advised me to wait till the time is right before i go. currently i can't go anywhere cuz it's not God's timing yet. n when it is, things will fall into place smoothly n just fit nicely. i guess thru this trip, my mom's relationship with her has become stronger cuz they even pray together for the company. anyway the 3 of us go everywhere together. the other colleagues have their own plans with their own families (arcade, casino etc).

went back to the room to rest but i couldn't fall asleep. too full liao. feel quite sad abt eating so much, but my mentality is like if i dun eat i'm wasting good food. hahahah.. then woke up for supper n watched Final Destination 3 at 12am at the Lido. i expected the movie to be scary, wanted to bring my small pillow along to hug but quite pai seh to bring it to supper. it was certainly gory. quite traumatised after the show but i prayed for a good night's rest, without nightmares.

thank God i didn't dream of anything related to the movie. cuz i listened to Jar's of Clay on my discman till i fell asleep. psychoed myself to think of other stuff like the 2 Become 1 movie.

then woke up at 7am.. wanted to wake up at 6am to catch sunrise n maybe go gym. but i was too tired. couldn't open my eyes. reluctantly went to wash up. had breakfast at the Chinese restaurant again. this time there was "siew mai", scallop + oyster porridge, n some other funny stuff. was quite pissed that i had to request soya sauce 3 times. thw waitress sounded v sleepy when she came to the table with the dishes. went to Med Buffet for tea n coffee again. i took scrambled eggs, waffle n chicken sausage.

went back to the room to pack up but i was tired la. fell asleep n almost couldn't wake up. my mom had to pack up for me. haha.. at 10.30am we have to check out. went to the Lido where everyone is gathered to wait for dismissal. so funny. there's this crew who kept singing his fav songs n getting pple to guess the song title for a prize. his voice is good man. all the oldies. haha~ i could have got a prize but too shy la. haha..

finally we were dismissed n i was pissed again whenever pple cut my queue. went thru the customs n i suggested having lunch at Seah Im instead of the food court. wasn't hungry but i still ate. went back home. tired. sleep.

:: changi airport ::

thurs went to sch to help pack cds for Fusion 2006. then went out with my dad cuz he took leave. went to hougang to meet him but he was still at home when i reached. sian. walked around while he went to the bank. need to shop for formal wear soon. not just for Fusion but can be for future use too.

we went to Sembawang Hill Estate food centre to eat chicken feet noodles. nice~ they're moving to tanglin halt at the end of the month. walked around then went back.

then my dad decided to go changi airport. we had soya beancurd for dessert at the staff canteen n then went to check out the budget terminal. at first i thought the new terminal 3 is the budget terminal but it's not. the budget terminal is quite far from T1/T2. has thai directions on the signs. very empty n boring but rather peaceful. the outside looks like australia to me.

now i feel tt changi is quite scary. honestly, with pple carrying guns supposedly to protect us, i feel more scared. like what if i suddenly feel like running in the airport n then i get shot because they thought i was up to something?

then i was tired so we went back to rest. can't really rem what i did already.

:: confused ::

Ms wendy's instruction for designing a panel is - "Panel is B2 (500 X 707 mm) Landscape not B1!!!"

i am confused. what is 500 X 707 and yet landscape???! haha dun bother replying me.

:: yay ::

yay it's 1st of april! tt means my monthly internet quota is renewed! can go online again freely! i checked my usage for March.. $103... =X i'm sure gonna use my own money to pay for tt before my dad sees the bill. i'm gonna pay it n hide it from him.

so tt'll be how i'm spending my allowance.

other than that.. hmm.. last week nothing much.. after my Balai account, i asked my mom whether i can teach English tuition there. she gave me a lecture n ignored me whenever i ask tt question in hope of a change of mind n softening of heart. tt was the reason she smsed my sis the question she posted in her blog. i was upset n disappointed n feel very sian n moody. toyed with the idea with throwing tantrums to make my parents give in.. but at the end of the day, the message is still "Honour your parents." if i wanna do God's work, i shld let it happen God's way.

thur went to church for sectional training. v surprised to see Chris when i arrived.. cuz i didn't bring my notes or did my homework. but end up we didn't need to show anything la. hahaha.. *phew* learned quite a lot thru the session. but also felt very tired n stoned.

oh yah this Sunday got MLC presentation.. i sorta got an idea how it shld look but Shirley came to my place on fri night to confirm it. we worked till 6am.. i seldom work so hard nowadays, so at first cannot take it. it just takes momentum la.

sat i went out after a few hrs of sleep. had breakfast with my mom then went to bugis to meet my IM friends. went to TP diploma show to collect namecards n to see works. swee yi came.. had my late lunch n then went for cell grp. was late n then i realised everyone was at the No Monkey Business workshop. didn't want to attend but i still did. all the business terms just flew past me. but i did learn a few points.

went to setup for worship prac.. ended early cuz the songs are much familiar n easier to prac. had cheesecake made by Jane.. very nice!

went home to clean up the video.

ok back to sunday. i was worried when the video couldn't be loaded on shirley's laptop.. but we were doing sound check + prac for the song That's What We Came Here For.. n i felt very strongly tt i dun need to be worried cuz God will make my effort pay off. in the end the video did work Praise God! n tt's my small testimony.

suddenly i feel very hardworking, feel like going home to work on my website right away. haha.. went for lunch with cell grp at carl's junior.. shared a meal with jac.. felt something wrong with my stomach. quite scared.. anyway we walked around until brandon announced tt he's going home.. n i was delighted to be able to get a lift home.. hehe..

just now went to hougang mall, wanted to have dinner at Pizza Hut, but it closed down already. awwww... went to Magic Wok for halal thai cuisine instead.

wow i expected this entry to be short.. but i guess my weekend was a bit more happening than expected. i got praised a lot today.. haha felt very weird, but all glory to God. Amen.

:: 19/3 ~ 26/3 ::

sun

we had the idea of visiting Chapel of the Holy Spirit... but it wasn't confirmed in the end. i still went early. met john chew n then jerome.. sat with them for a while until my cell grp arrived. had Holy Communion. Robin John came n preached. his accent is really strong, but i managed to catch the message. Christians ought to talk abt Jesus all the time, even during meals, even while travelling. Then people around will hear and want to find out more.

went to a coffeeshop outside church for lunch. then went to orchard with the cell grp in amos' car. went to Pacific Plaza.. i like board shorts.. esp the guys cutting.. hang loose all that. but too ex. esp those branded ones like Roxy n Quiksilver tho they're having sale.

walked to Heeren.. kinda aimlessly. then went home with aijia.

very tired so i took a nap. when i woke up i saw a message.. the number is an indonesian number. so i kept thinking abt it. wondering if it's.........? i replied "who are you?" but i didn't receive anymore msg from that number.


mon

went to tanjong pagar to find my mom for lunch. wanted to go to Amoy Street Food Centre, but i didn't do my homework.. couldn't find the place so we stopped at a coffeeshop on the way. saw Natalie who's having her attachment around the area. saw this design museum near URA, so i decided to go after lunch. turns out it's closed on mondays. sigh~

wanted to look for a namecard printing shop in Amoy Street.. but i really don't know how to get there. just thought i would walk aimlessly n hopefully find the place cuz singapore is really small. my mom kept going "aey? this building is here ah?" so near. haha. finally found the place. n the food centre i wanted to go. haha.

settled my namecard stuff.. it shld be ready in a week's time. decided to go to sch to join in the ogls meeting. but when i reached they ended the meeting already. last time our meetings always drag till evening then we would have dinner together. now so fast finish.. >.<

went to sch for NOTHING. went to look for mr choong but he told me the grades have closed. no point in doing my minor project. now i'm worried i might fail my FYP. sad.. if i fail i dun need to do fusion liao.. very scared.. pray for me!!!

went home to rest.. really very sian. i waited till evening time then i called the indonesian number that appeared in the sms yesterday. it wasn't who i expected.. but then again, he was the only person in indonesia i gave my number to. just that i really didn't expect him to sms me. i feel so weird now!!! things are so complicated!!


wed

decided to go check out a game shop in khatib, n on the way swee yi called to ask me abt the printing shop. just nice she was at yishun so i thought of going to yishun for lunch. the jap food stall in the foodcourt not nice de. the chef also rude. wanna walk past me should make some sound like "excuse me" ma.. he just quietly brush past me very irritating one lor.

i can't resist dim sum. haha.. no matter how full i am, when i c dim sum i will want to eat.

took bus 851 to khatib to see games, but dun have the game i play. went home. praise God.. the weather threatened to rain but didn't at all.


thur

went out with hao.. went to JE to meet him. was 10 min late only lor, not typically late lor. haha.. decided to go k box. hao treated.. hoho~

sang all chinese songs.. (err i tried to sing some canto songs also la) there were only 2 of us so we can afford to pick songs for the sake of watching the mtvs, like Edison Chen's Gu Yi, Guo Pin Chao (i can't rem the title, i was only watching his face), 2moro's Shabu Shabu, Show's Chance Chance, etc. first time i really enjoy ktv-ing.. becuz usually i go i dun get to sing all the songs i picked, at the end when time is up i dun get to sing finish them, but this time we sang finish the songs we picked n left before time was up.

it was 6+pm already. we went downstairs for dinner. wasn't hungry, but i wanted to try the taiwan fried chicken cutlet n beef stew noodles. =P~~~ not bad la.

walked to IMM. my main reason is Daiso. picked 4 items. very satisfied. hehe.. had milk tea at the Hongkong style teahouse just outside. told ya, i can't resist anything HK!

bought stuff for huixiang then went home. it's been so long since a guy sent me home. hahaa.. from jurong east all the way somemore.. really appreciate it. huixiang came to my place to get the stuff n to give me a souvenir from genting.. a g-string >.<


fri

swee yi called to ask me to meet her in the evening, kinda to celebrate the end of her portfolio assessment n to relax. dunno y i was very tired. had dinner with my dad at causeway point, then swee yi arrived. thirsty, so we went to mos burger to get tea n sit down n chat. then we walked around.

after i boarded bus 161 back, i realise i can only take the ride to sengkang n i would have negative credit in my ezlink card. so i walked home from sengkang. exercise also good la. though i was tired, i didn't sleep till around 3am.


sat

woke up at 8.30am when wendy called. hehe.. went to meet her at commonwealth. gotta apologise for being late although i was the one who wanted to meet. my main motive is to go MDIS open house to collect a Trexi n then go to sentosa with the yr 3s n yr 4s. i expected to see some yr 2s. but none of them came. oh yah at the open house i filled in a form n got a goodie bag. inside got L size tshirt, teenage mag with GIANT JAY CHOU CALENDAR *lelong! lelong!* ahaha, a notebook n other stuff. cool.. the guys were still at harbourfront when we left MDIS, waiting for other pple to come, so we went there to look for them. i even had time to eat 2 plain pratas n 1 glass of sugar cane drink.

i really must go sentosa more than 4 times this few months before my membership expires. haha..

went to Palawan beach, settled somewhere near a beach volleyball court n started playing. saw this Star Idol guy whom i initially wish would win, but as michael points out, he has a showoff attitude n a face that deserves to be punched.

anyway~ spent most of the time playing beach volleyball, frisbee, dipping in the water n walking around.

went to shower around 6+pm. then left sentosa. went to harbourfront Pastamania for dinner. it was GOOD~ wengheng got a friend who works there n gave us super big discount sia. 2 meals for $10.50, unbelievable sia! haha.. then the funny part is when david wanted to order another beef lasagna, n it was $9+!! no discount anymore! hoho.. stayed there till closing.


sun

set alarm at 5am but woke up at 5.30am. did some last minute packing then went to harbourfront delifrance to meet persis. there were only the 2 of us in this trip. boarded the ferry n reached there around 9+am. Phei Phei was at the customs to fetch us. we took an oplik straight to church. then we waited for the children to arrive n we started sunday school at 11am. i was wondering y Wiky still haven't come. if he knew we were coming he would have arrived early.

Persis taught word, from Luke 7:11-17. The ayat hafalan is from 2 Korintus 5:17. Bena is good at memorising verses. For arts n craft i taught the children to make a small puppet using ice cream sticks n cloth. i brought lotsa craft stuff tt i bought on impulse to use as decoration. the children were thrilled. haha..

then we gave out lotsa stuff my dad told me to bring. after Sunday school there were a few hours free time until church service starts. the children cooked indomie goreng for me =) n elisa goreng-ed some keropok n added her mom's homemade chili sauce n shared the keropok.

Persis n i went out to look for or mee. it tastes like fried kuey tiao. Betty came to ate with us. we thought we were going to be late for service so we left first. n we found out we still have one more hour. chatted with ah yang. he said he was going pantai later. but he stayed for service. not bad. saw uncle Subas n uncle Alfred n jac's dad n 2 other men from the adults congregation.

Wiky finally arrived. he said he watched tv till late last night so he came late today. haiyo. uncle Alfred preached about the good Shepherd. it was a short message, so uncle Subas continued to preach another message. there was ministry time. prayed for 2 ladies in english.

didn't get to talk to Wiky much, but he could tell that i became darker. so i told him i went tanning yesterday. Aimei still don't know my name, so i asked Wati to remind her. haha.. told her mom that Frenky smsed me n the whole incident. haha..

at the jetty we bought lotsa gorengan for the ferry ride. the uncles wanted to go for kopi before the ferry arrives, but the officers advised us to check in earlier. good that we did, or else we might not sit together in the end.

when we got nearer to harbourfront, i went up to the top deck with persis to take photos. i think i really need to change camera soon.

had dinner with the uncles at the food court then went home.

:: 14/3 ~ 18/3 ::

tue

took a balai style of bath. saves water. went to tj pagar for lunch with my mom.. had ipoh hor fun which didn't taste nice to me. then went home. haha quite boring? wendy asked if i'm going for the camp in sch.. n i realised there's an OGL camp today. so i told her i wld go around 4pm. went online for a while to discuss domain stuff with swee yi then went to sch.

the number of OGLs this yr really disappointing.. kept trying to persuade ting to join, but not successful. but i'm glad to see her n get to chat with her. felt quite bad to pang seh her cuz i wanted to find out what's going on at the games side. left at 6.15pm to take bus to Bukit Timah.

i dropped 2 bus stops earlier than my destination n so i had to walk. felt quite scared cuz it was dark n i wasn't sure whether i'm going the right way or not. i seldom go to bukit timah area de. this time i'm meeting Shirley n John at Serene Centre. had dinner at Black Canyon Coffee (thai cuisine) n discussed the MLC presentation. we chose a song for the presentation n managed to solve the video problem. we left around 9+pm.

i called nic n found out that they r still at bishan.. n i had to pass by bishan on my way home, so i dropped off at bishan n joined them at Cafe Cartel. there were nic, michael, wendy n david. i kinda expected to have ice cream at Serene Centre but didn't, so i requested to eat ice cream there. we ordered this.. er.. 10 scoops of ice cream. then michael added on a carrot cake n a blueberry cheese cake. i think i got home around 12am.


wed

woke up around 10+am.. went online n discovered i had overused my internet quota for the month n i'm using $70 more than i was given. i felt very heartache.. n worried that i will get scolded by my parents for overusing the internet..

went to sch to join the OGL camp.. didn't really help much in the early part cuz i went off for a talk by the director. it was sort of a reunion with the DMD cohort. lent huixiang my ibook. went to help yan qiao with flash then went to withdraw money to return swee yi for buying a domain.. I HAVE MY OWN DOMAIN!!! haha.. but i wun reveal it yet because now it's still a blank page that says under construction n i can't do anything abt it cuz i can't use internet anymore for the rest of the month.. sobz..

by the time i joined back the OGL camp, michael had to go n he asked me to replace him. the ogls were playing this game called Poison River, n i had to sit on a chair to secure its position. everyone else ("seniors") got sun burnt. my title is "senior senior", so by saying "senior" i mean those 1 yr younger than me. i joined them for dinner (uninvitedly) haha.. n then stayed with them till they were dismissed. i even joined the "seniors" for debriefing. they needed help for the station games the next day so i agreed to come lor. haha..

went to mac with wendy n michael to find the rest like nicholas, ian, david, darius n john. they were watching some *ahem* video. they managed to psycho me to take bus 86 home.

that night i dreamt that i was going tanjung balai but i forgot to bring my passport. managed to use my IC to go thru the customs but i lost Persis n Joseph during the delay. i tried to find my way to the ferry but turned out the place was a train station. i didn't know which train to take so i anyhow take one. hmm.. quite a nightmare.


thur

asked my mom to wake me up at 7am.. asked eileen n wendy to join me for breakfast but only eileen could make it. we both reached at 8.45am. haha.. so we tookaway our breakfast. was disappointed in the "seniors" becuz even some of the ogls are earlier than them. talk about discipline man! even i, who should not even be involved in this camp, came earlier than them!

joined eileen to setup a station for the games. we were supposed to hide from the groups to make them search for us in order to play the game. seems like all the groups manage to find us successfully. the last grp searched for us but we didn't realise, so after waiting for a long time we came out of our hiding place n happen to see them just outside. our game is called Power Ring. oh i can't describe the game cuz it will be used for another camp. trade secret. *shh..*

we failed the last grp for cheating n giving us bad attitude. but in the end none of the groups were forfeited.. *aiyeh!* the camp was at last over n mr alex soh came to tok to the ogls. we had buffet lunch n i went off to meet carol to return her the donation card which i didn't pass around. did my module feedback.

went home.


fri

went to church for the Leaders' Retreat Session 1. Vicar preached about the 2 diff kinds of attitudes of Jesus' followers. one is like Mary, who loves Jesus a lot n is willing to spend a year's wage on an expensive perfume to annoint Him to prepare Him for his burial. one is like Judas who has been following Jesus around for 3 years as the treasurer, always stealing money from the treasury, n after rebuking Mary for wasting the money on the perfume, agreed to betray Jesus to the chief priests.

went home to rest. went out in the evening to meet the singles' club.. but i decided to meet my parents for dinner first then meet them. so i went to potong pasir n had my dinner there. wasn't nice but i ate until i was very full. haha..

lucky i ate first cuz it turned out that they were eating KFC at taka lor. was quite upset that though they know i was coming, they didn't prepare a space for me. sigh. after they finished eating we walked around Cineleisure n Heeren. whoa Heeren has undergone several changes n i didn't know! there's this shop that sells guys' underwear n the salesmen there are macho n dressed very casually in beach singlet n board shorts.. woo.. like gays.. i like gays... =P

felt very thirsty n decided to get a drink at the 7-eleven outside taka. managed to find a space to sit n stone n slack. then john n ian left. the rest of us decided to go wendy's place to slack somemore. went to meet nicholas at raffles place mrt n he brought a friend along. we kept making fun of david n convincing each other that he's gay n he's interested in wendy's brother. haha..

very tired. played monopoly with wendy n david while michael was the banker. he was helping wendy sia.. bias!! haha.. she was winning from the beginning n the rest of the game was just to play along..

michael made milo for us in his own way. watched The Time Machine (yeah i can strike off that movie in my wishlist of movies to watch!). quite a short movie. sleep after that. it was 6+am already.


sat

kept waking up cuz i wasn't sleeping properly. was curling up in the one-seater sofa. finally decided to wake up around 9+am. wendy's sis or mom bought nasi lemak for us. i had a whole packet n 2 extra fish. haha.. left around 10+am.

i then remembered that i had a lunch with my JI 03A4 class at taka seoul garden. so i went home for a bath n went out again. at this point i really wished Singapore celebrates Songkran Festival. very hot.

there were Yixiu, Marie n Ng Qi already n Yasin was coming. not many of us for this reunion eh. Ivan n Taufiq wld join us later. Imran came surprisingly, for a while. then there was a blackout, twice. i ate until i was bloated then i surrendered. haha. left with marie. went to Diana's hse for cell grp.

it was a small grp but easier to fellowship. we went to AV for dinner n aijia drove.. hoho~ was still full for dinner so i only had avocado juice.

last night i went crazy over Campus Superstar.. rooting for Adriano.. cuz i'm starting to like younger boys!! wahahaha!! just kidding.. there's another reason behind it de.. *winks*

:: hoho~ ::

sat was happening.. went to church.. walked to SAJC gate, trying to find a shortcut in...but couldn't.. perspired a lot. finally reached. the security guard stopped me n told me to wait because the church pple who are carrying the equipment over haven't arrived, he guessed they would come at 5pm. so i was desperately trying to contact them to find out if it's true. they finally came.. so i helped a bit to unload the equipment from the van. i was supposed to take photos n videos of the setting up. but my camera low batt, so cannot take video.

anyway~~ stayed in church till 4+pm.. too late to go for Amos' commissioning.. n since i was not going boon lay already i smsed geoffrey tt i would not turn up for his bday party. so i went to Suntec with rebekah. there was an IT fair n it was SUPER crowded. no joke~ by the time we squeezed in thru the crowd n she bought an external HDD n we squeezed all the way out again it was soon time to meet Wendy they all. so i took bus 14 n walked over to dhoby ghaut mrt station.

david arrived first.. n i was thirsty, so we went to Mos n got a drink. there we waited for wendy n shaun to arrive. after a long time of trying to decide where to have dinner, we finally came to a decision to go Fish n Co. my first time dining at the glass house.. i was v happy..!! hehe..


wendy n i shared a Seafood Platter for Two but it was too much for us n i dun really like it.

after that michael arrived n we went to Mind Cafe. we tried to play Smarty Pants, but we dun really understand, then tried to play this red indian game but forgot its name n in the end we didn't play that, played Niagara.. i lost. n Life simpson's version. quite fun n it lasted us till 11.20pm. then we left.

by the time i got home my feet were super tired n almost cramping. i missed The Pianist at 10.30pm =( went to bed n woke up next morning around 6.20am. was the earliest to reach church.. hoho~ was just sitting down outside the locked LT when elena arrived with the keys.. hoho~ was very warm during the setup but i dun mind.. kinda got used to perspiring after spending 2 weekends in tj balai. oh my parents missed COR service again. they went fishing this weekend. haha

the BB boys were here n the sermon was about 1 Thess 1. i'm glad Chris explained abt the background of the letters from Paul. i wouldn't have been able to understand better.


after service i went for my cousin's baptism, with Elohim n M'kkaddesh. i'm also glad to see Chin Wee getting baptised. yday i wanted to take video but low batt, but today i came with a fully charged batt n when i wanted to take video, the memory was full.. very dui leh. had to quickly erased some photos to take new ones.

after baptism service i went to sengkang, met Chihiro n the guy who wants to jio her. hmm.. waited for swee yi to come.. she accompanied me to have lunch (at 3.30pm) i was so hungry i finished a yoshinoya beef rice bowl in 10 min. really gobbling down the food. haha.. walked around.. then yan qiao arrived. we took bus to my house then i gave them a crash course on flash. haha.. they didn't stay long.. but we went to punggol plaza for dinner(at 7+pm). wasn't hungry but it was dinner time so i ate again. haha.

:: weird dream ::

had a weird dream last night..

dreamt that i was at Chris' house with Jieling.. i was trying to check my email but the interface was terrible.. haha..

n then i dreamt that i was having lunch with a group of aunties including my mom.. after that i spotted a species of bird that i nv see b4.. so i ran after it.. it was fluffy and dark brown n has HOT PINK feathers at the tip of its wing. Ai Mei was running after me, she wanted to see the photos i took of her last time.. but i told her to wait because i want to take photo of the bird. but i felt bad to ask her to wait because she's a princess la. everyone will want to make her happy. anyway i saw the bird n its baby, it does not have pink feathers, but white instead. very small very cute. but i think i didn't manage to take good photos. after that among the group of aunties there's a daughter called Cai Jun. i thought it was Zai Jun n told my mom her name is Zai Jun. but she corrected me with her hand gesture 'C'.. doesn't make sense but i'm just relating my dream specifically. haha.

:: missing ::

still miss the time i spent in tanjung balai.. the food, the smell, the sights, n of cuz the children. through our conversation with Uncle Asun last sunday i realise that he finds it difficult to communicate with the youths, and that i dun seem to understand how adults think. so i guess my main focus will be the children n youth. right now, they say Wiky is the only youth left. n i have been wondering, how come i dun see pple around my age in church?

my dad also desires to do something for the pple there. on wed he took leave from work.. we went to changi village for lunch n he bought 2 frisbies for the children there to play. the one we used to successfully bring ah qiang over to church! but that day i was kinda sian sian. reluctant to go out for breakfast, reluctant to go changi beach.. but we still went la. i had a good time tanning on his motorbike. we saw a shop that belongs to Salvation Army. they sold a pair of pants for $4 to my dad who later discovered it wasn't his size. -.-" although that day i felt moodless to do anything, it was still happening in the end la.

Chihiro came at night. her motive is to use the internet la. so i let her use while i watched tv.. she was very direct in asking money from me.. i owed her a Christmas present n she bought it for herself n claimed money from me. i would prefer her to be more humble.

on thurs i was really bored. i watched a movie at home while i ate Indomie mee goreng.. =) then i kept playing Spider solitaire n online jigsaw puzzles. things that i can do while i have holidays.. haha.. noel smsed to tell me that the distribution of the da vinci magazines was postponed.. i was GLAD! becuz i dun have to wake up super early (5am!) but that night i couldn't sleep. woke up around 4am n started to imagine (well those of u who know me well, know that i imagine things alot!) myself owning a house in tanjung balai, it has proper sewage n flush, aircon, n lotsa rooms so that i can bring my whole cell grp there. then i imagined 3 burglars who tried to break in, died. wahaha..

after that i imagined me n a few friends at some kinda water sports park.. hmm i dunno how to describe what we were playing.. there's a track with a few lanes n the water is very shallow, so we glided on the water along the track together, like waterski. then there was a sharp drop.. very exciting.. haha.. after that we had parasailing.. i didn't have a parachute so i imagined a guy (i wun say who!) held on to me.

i smelled coffee n i know my mom is awake already, but i was still struggling to go back to sleep. woke up around 10+am. still worried about my portfolio concept.

:: testimony ::

wanna praise God for today.. i had my portfolio assessment at 10.30am.. and last night i rushed my work till 3am.. actually, like i mentioned in my last entry, i didn't have the mood to do my work.. so i actually could have finished it probably around 1am, but i dragged.. before sleep i remembered that in the email from the lecturer, there was instruction to have our websites hosted (put the website online). so i told myself to do it the next morning before going to school.

around 8.45am i remembered that i need to go online to do something but i forgot what. i only remembered one of them. which is to submit my monthly payment for child sponsorship. then as i closed the browser, i remembered the second thing, which is to host the website. i have an account in geocities, so i uploaded my flash file and images n set up an index.html. then i went to school.

before going upstairs to the presentation room, i remembered to print my resume at the printing shop. thank God that the USB port has been repaired so that i can print my work there.

i had only 5 printed pieces of work to show where i was supposed to show 20. so mr eric tan said he can only give me marks for 5 pieces. but thank God that i hosted the website, even though it's in geocities, at least it's online. so i wun have to lose even more marks. i had prayed for God's favour to be upon me for the presentation. thank God that i didn't feel as scared as i usually would be. and the lecturers who assessed me didn't give much comments n criticism to my concept. but i rather they let me know how to improve before i print the actual pieces..

really thank God.. i feel so relieved now!

:: Tj Balai ::

can't stop thinking abt the trip to Tj Balai..

from monday, when i found out that i have a portfolio assessment next tue, i started working on it.. every day very stressed cuz i still have no idea how i want my portfolio to look like.. i want it to best describe my style.. very difficult.

finally on thur i managed to show yihan my draft of the flash.. then she advised me to work on my print stuff first.. fri brought my stuff to print.. went to 5 places to print, so that i can compare the quality. left house around 1+pm n was done around 4+ so i went to find my dad.. to eat my late lunch.. haha.. then he drove me to tekka mall for dinner with my mom. just nice my aunts were there. shopped for groceries for Uncle Asun's family.

went home to work a while on my stuff then packed my bag n slept early.

sat woke up at 7+am to go Harbourfront to meet Persis, Gail n Joseph.. they were having breakfast at mac already. boarded Penguin 6... whoa nice man.. the seats were different. they even played DVD for the passengers! watched a thai movie The Bodyguard.. the subtitles are super crappy la.. indonesian english.. hahaha.. there was a cute guy in the show too ;)

i was almost unwilling to leave the ferry cuz the show had not ended yet.. =( haha.. we were met by Uncle Asun n Phei Phei at the customs.. we went to uncle Asun's place to put down our bags.. Ai mei my fav girl still so antisocial..

unpacked some stuff then took oplik with phei phei to Ibu Aniong's house to get some cake baking utensils n stuff.. i then realised i stayed there before.. so pai seh that i forgot n didn't recognise the place until i got nearer.. then took oplik to church. ordered indo-mie goreng for lunch but it arrived only just before the Ladies' Ministry session started. conducted games session with the ladies.. then gail led in sharing word. she sensed that she was losing the attention of the ladies so she cut her sharing short. then persis took over in teaching them to bake cake. Wiky came.. haha.. he wanted to learn to play the keyboard from Joseph.. taught Elisa n Bena to sing He's Able n read to them The Lion King storybook, translating each sentence. then it was time to go back to uncle Asun's place.

enjoyed sunset n chatting with Wiky n Joseph on the rooftop.. there were hammocks but i dun dare to sit on it. haha.. the girls who live next door came to play swing on it. went downstairs for dinner.. sad to say, i didn't have the appetite to eat a lot. after dinner went to Indo, a shopping centre in Balai.. gail was successful in getting Ai Mei to play with her.. haha..



went back.. moved our bags to the air-conditioned room.. then bathed. after that i realised there was a hole in my pants.. :S did my quiet time then slept. Ai Mei became antisocial towards us again once she went home n saw her mom. haha.. dreamt of hao n a lot of pple we know..

next day, woke up around 8am. mostly waited around. went to the market n bought breakfast. we were lucky that day a neighbour cooked fried bee hoon and gave us a big bowl of it.. played ball with a small boy who lives next door until it was time to go. took a chartered van to Ibu Aniong's place to pick up Vita n a few kids, then further down picked up a few more kids to go to church. went out around the area with Phei Phei, gail n a few kids to find more children to go church. during sunday school session Persis led worship, i led arts n craft, taught them to do a lion mask then joseph taught word, about Daniel in the Lion's Den. session ended early so Phei Phei asked them to recite the memory verse. Bena was the first to recite.. then i encouraged Elisa to recite as much as she remembered. after sunday school Persis went visiting with Gail n Phei Phei.. i stayed behind to play with the children.

went for lunch at the nearby Bakso stall. i didn't like it.. haha.. Gail was teasing Wiky by asking him what is Tongkat Ali n how come "1 minum, 2 menikmati" (one drinks, both enjoy)? haha.. went back for a chat before service starts. worship is good.. according to Asun, those people who used to be distracted during prayer, were praying sincerely now. things are indeed improving. Praise God! after service we had a praying session. supported Gail while she prayed for a new believer. prayed for xiuling for peace although there were classmates who tore up her textbook. then they brought out the cakes they baked yesterday to eat. chatted with Wiky n took photos of people. Ai mei actually smiled!!!! very amazing haha.. took a video of Gail playing peek-a-boo with her.



then it was time to go to the jetty. Uncle Asun has priority so he told us he will reserve seats for us. Gail n i sat IN FRONT of the air con lor... froze to numbness. Uncle Asun told us some stuff abt the church. It was playing Air Force One on the TV in front. but i watched b4. tried to sleep. forgot what i dreamt of. my mind's still full of the things i saw n heard n did. had dinner at the food court. Uncle Asun shared with us even more stuff. felt that he's really spiritually mature, and able to lead the church in Balai.

all this while i've been worrying abt my portfolio assessment on tue, but i'm really glad to be able to take a break and serve God. went home to do a bit work but can't concentrate sia. tired also. so i unpacked my stuff n went to sleep.

i don't know y, i have no peace.. alot of things in my mind. dreamt of my old friends n i was playing a game of treasure hunt with them in a shopping centre..

now no mood to do work.

:: week ::

woweeee..

ok let me start with last sunday.. went to Holland V after lunch with cell grp to check out what huixiang is filming n how i can help out.. surprised to c yongcheng there.. chatted with him n help to cut paper money out of newspapers and peilin came to chat with us.. hx didn't tell us how we can help so we were just busy chatting n eating.. =P

i guess the main highlight was dinner.. ;) peilin n i were bored cuz yongcheng left.. acted as drunk girls then we decided to have dinner at Eskibar. i didn't expect that place to be cold.... haha. there was a sign outside that says Fish n Fries for $2.90... wooo.. so went in to check out. then there was another sign inside that says Housepours/beers one for one. i ordered the fish n chips n Erdinger beer.. it's v nice! chatted with peilin abt lotsa things.. haha.. the bar provides jackets becuz like its name suggests, that place is for Eskimos. went home on taxi.

monday..

went to sch to do work, but turns out the comp labs are being used for Studio project.. sigh.. thank God i met Hairol at the Blk M.. got an application cd from him then went home to do my work. hehe the work is supposed to be submitted last friday.

bia all the way till evening time..

tuesday

went to sch to submit work n have lunch with swee yi.. had Fantastic beef burger at mac... ohh the onions suck. spent the whole time picking them out.

went to Thai Embassy to take a walk.. n collect info for the thailand trip in may.

went home.. quite tired.. just completed a Nancy Drew pc game n was starting a new one. hehe.. very fun.. i was just starting when chihiro came.. she said she'll explain y she came when she arrives. at that moment i wasn't feeling very hospitable. told her i gotta leave around 6 to go for Psalmist quarterly Discipleship training. i asked my dad to takeaway dinner for me since he was coming back at 6 but in the end i waited till 6.45 then i called him n discovered that he was taking his own sweet time. i was so angry i cried. very very angry.

i was trying hard to think where is Fairfield Methodist Church.. i know it's near maxwell, but where is maxwell? in the end i alighted at Outram.. walked until i got lost then i found the place. was quite late already. anyway, i learnt a lot from the training.. but i forgot to bring a paper n pen to note down.. my memory fails me easily..

thank God esther drove.. got a lift from her.

wed

i dunno what i was doing la. cooked noodles at 3+pm then i realise i was supposed to be at Queensway at 4pm.. so i went out as soon as i finished my noodles. shopped for a present for bec with kwek n belly.. then kwek drove us to west mall.. waited at the foodcourt for bec to arrive.. had dinner then waited for yun to arrive before we went to Swensen's. ordered an ice cream cake n they also ordered other stuff to share. long time nv come out n meet them actually.. then they mentioned hao n i dunno y i was smiling.. haha.. after tt we went home.

thur

uh i think i was playing game n trying to come up with a concept for portfolio the whole afternoon. then went out for dinner with kelvin at potong pasir before our sectional training in church. learnt about going back to basics. went back with john..

fri

quite bored at home.. told myself to do work but just.... i was dreaming of having dim sum for brunch.. but i dun want to spend my own money so i thot of meeting my mom for lunch. hahahaha.. went to tanjong pagar, kept trying to contact her but couldn't. thank God i have 2 phones, n in the other phone i have her office number. that was how i found her.

had lunch in a cafe in Amara Hotel.. quite good.. haha.. my dad called to let me know that i can join them for their Tj Balai trip this sunday.. so i told him okay, i'm going. this was a last minute decision. took bus to chinatown n shopped for CDs at pearl centre. spent $44 =S but it was quite a good deal. i bought a Grasshopper album that consists of 3 CDs n 1 karaoke DVD, an ATB Seven Years album that that 1 cd n 1 dvd, n a Lin Junjie CD. hmm.. 7 discs for $44, not bad la.

took 147 to serangoon then changed to bus 100 to go to Golden Mile.. just had the mood to look for CDs. i always want to buy, but when i was there, i couldn't seem to find anything i would like to get. i found a shop that sells a few original copies, n even the copied ones look quite real. at least they bothered to do it properly. the other shop's copy looks super fake. spent a long time there. then decided to go home. i didn't want to use the toilet there so i held my bladder for 2 hours. my mom called to ask me go out for dinner when i was still on the way home. so i only got to go toilet at sengkang.. -.-"

these days i just have the craving for soups.

sat

woke up at 5+am to go harbourfront with my parents. had breakfast at Seah Im food centre. regretted ordering chicken feet noodles that taste bland. it took me a long time to eat.. my parents decided to give up waiting for me so they left first. their cell grp members came to eat so i had company. when we finished n walked to the Cruise centre, i saw my dad still waiting outside the toilet for my mom.. he shld have gone to buy my ticket while the booth was still open lor.. i had already passed my passport to him. in the end i had to buy a one-way ticket that costs $1 less than the return ticket.. i was ANGRY again. there were altogether 11 pple travelling.

when we reached Asun came to fetch us. we checked into Hotel Paradise then went to church. that hotel seems big, but is terrible. we split into 2 teams, i followed uncle hua chiang. we went to Ah Xin's house to visit, spent a long time there, played with their new dog, learnt that they were inviting swallows to build nest in their roof. cool sia. visited another house, a woman who was suffering from some illness n had water retention. her legs were swelling n her house had LOTS of mosquitoes. suffered several bites there. prayed for her for healing then we went off for lunch. had fried rice. i'm VERY glad they have ketchup. I love their soup!!

went back to church but Phei Phei was still not free yet to join us for visitation. so we went to the billiard palour opp the church to have some tea. i managed to drink my fav teh-o ice. happy. then we went to visit a house near the sea.. dunno y i was scared of walking on the planks, as if my slipper could get caught in the holes n i would trip. must be cuz i long time nv go kelong liao. there were alot of small crabs on the shore.. n this family catches fish for a living. we stayed in there until the rain stopped.

we went to the town area to visit this woman who babysits her granddaughter n thus couldn't attend service. i was hynotised by her rocking the sarong.. couldn't understand what they were saying. when the baby woke up i got to carry her.. but while they were praying i sensed that she was going to cry but i dunno how to soothe her.

went back to hotel.. my mom scolded me for being rude to her.. felt sucky n ANGRY. it's like if i'm close to someone i tend to lose my manners. n towards pple i'm not comfortable with, i'm very ke qi n uptight n nice. so which does she want? took a nap before going out.

went out for dinner with the whole grp.. had seafood. we ordered hotplate tofu, sambal kangkong, kailan, "black" pepper crab, n prawn omelette. had coconut too. sounds bad, but i ignored my mom the whole night. i know we're supposed to be fighting a spiritual battle together, but i guess i just let my feelings rule me. went to pasar malam, hoping to find the ring i bought 3 yrs ago but lost. disappointed. wanted to buy tempe to eat, but they were all not in triangle shape. didn't buy anything in the end.

walked back to hotel for supper n evaluation for the day. i realise my dad likes to arrow pple to do work. n i dun like that. the others also tend to ask me to do stuff becuz i'm the youngest. sigh. had a bad night of rest. cuz i was sleeping between 2 badly joined beds. kept wanting to sleep on one side, but couldn't sleep well n i felt i was pushed towards the centre again. =( the aircon wasn't working well also.

next morning i finally got one side of the bed to myself. but it was becuz i was time to wake up. went down 15 min later than my parents for breakfast. it was terrible. (i complain a lot huh. haven't been to balai for a few months n i'm acting like a princess already.) they were talking about their children n i wasn't very interested to join in the conversation. so i went back to the room. rested a while then packed my bag to check out.

we were discussing for a long time about the item we were going to put up for the people during service later. came up with our own chinese version of "With Christ in the Vessel". Asun helped us to settle our tickets n i got my departure tickets that says my boarding time is 09:45. does that mean i was supposed to board the ferry NOW? thank God i realise the mistake n still got time to change. took oplik to church. Sunday school was starting soon but i saw a boy who looks familiar, at the billiard palour opp church. my dad took out a plastic plate n played frisby with me n attracted that boy. was glad that our mission in bringing him over, was accomplished. joined in the Sunday school worship n Wiky came to play the guitar.. very happy haha.. halfway he recognised me n smiled too..

we decided to put up the song item for the children.. Wiky who didn't know the song, actually played the guitar for us! we were all very amazed n believe that it's God's gift for him. supposed to do some visiting but it was raining. n there was a couple who needed counselling. so we hung around. chatted with Wiky n i was rather tempted to ask about Frenky. but didn't. hmm..

he introduced his friend Andy to me.. haha.. played with 2 small boys Ah Qiang n Ah Heng.. went to Ah Qiang's house to play with his 2 puppies.. very cute! took photos of them n carried them. on the way carrying them to church, some of the team members were going to eat.. my mom scolded me for going missing, said they were about to call 999. ridiculous. went to the place we had lunch yday for lunch again. this time i ordered fried kuay tiao n soup! after that during service while we were putting up the song item again for the congregation, i saw ah yang n signalled to him to come in. he watched us for a while then left on a motorbike. sad sia. heard that he went to worship another god. heard that it was becuz he took Timothy's dad's motorbike n dun dare to appear. dots. saw Ai Mei n kept trying to get her to come near me but she's still so anti-social. n Wiky says she's very naughty at home.

after service went to take Oplik out to the jetty. bought tempe n pisang goreng then checked in. the men at the customs r terrible. one officer, his computer was facing everybody n everybody can see that he was playing Solitaire game.. -.-" my dad got a dirty n torn piece of 10000 rupiah n wanted to spend it. he used it to buy magnum ice cream. haha.. slept on the ferry n when i woke up n my discman played finished the last song, it was time to alight. had dinner at harbourfront food junction n then took train home.

monday

completed my new Nancy drew game. did nothing much. watched my ATB dvd while i cooked my maggi mee goreng. hoho~

:: question abt sex ::

is it all boy-girl relationships of more than one year will involve sex? some couple have sex after a few months, or even after a few days, but some can resist temptation up to a year... but seems like that's what i notice among non-christian friends. as for christian friends i dunno la. maybe the guys really can practice self control.

in the olden times pple get married early, probably around the age of puberty.. so even if there's the temptation, they have their wives as sex partner ba. so the chance of committing fornication is quite low.

y the sudden topic? i'm usually quite conservative even in conversations, but after a chat with a friend last night, seems like the theory that most couples have sex after 1 yr of relationship is v possible.

:: sick ::

wow this week passed v fast

mon after my lesson i tried to rush to orchard to go thai embassy but i didn't make it. very disappointed. went to visit the new food court at Wisma with my sis then asked my dad to fetch me. went to hougang for dinner. mom asked who my sis was going out with n i asked her y she so kaypo... she scolded me for being rude. haiz. she says she's being concerned abt her daughter. but she nv interfered in my business lor.. she doesn't ask me everyday who i go out with. i almost wanted to rebutt but i decided to hold back. then she nagged at me abt money again.

tue went to send my sis off early in the morning.. i slept late cuz chihiro came to my hse until 2am.. woke up at 4.30am.. had burger king breakfast, long time no eat turkey ham croissantwich!! HEAVEN~!

took bus 24 to amk.. sky was dark... fell asleep on the bus n everytime i woke up the sky gets brighter.. was a long journey.. when i reached amk the sky was finally bright bright.. haha.. took another bus to sch. very sian. played games created by other grps.. haha.. wakes me up..

after tt yihan n ian came in and shared abt portfolio.. i had to stay back to get my concept approved by ms wen lei before i went to meet them for lunch. didn't eat cuz i wanted to go home and cook noodles. dunno y everytime i eat halfway i dun feel like eating anymore.

been having so much instant noodles lately that it makes me dizzy..

oh i almost forgot to go for Tue Prayer meeting but God reminded me. hehe.. :P managed to reach in time.

after that felt a craving for sugar roll.. so went to the cake shop at potong pasir mrt station to buy.


wed
went to sch for proj grp meeting.. i find tt i spend too much time on IENTP. why? becuz it's a grp proj. i hate grp projects becuz there's a high expectation of me. i need to finish a certain task so that i wun let my grp members down. whereas if i work by myself i can do it up last min n at most i only let myself down, no one else. i spend too much time on this that my other assignments are suffering. sucks.

my mom realised that she didn't give me allowance for this week. looking forward to chihiro returning me money.. feel broke. i need $200 for printing my portfolio n namecards n stuff... but after paying for sponsorship for nelson and buying bus concession, i'm left with $112 in my bank. sigh.


thur
slept till 2pm then went to sch for grp meeting again. i cld have spent the time on broadcast graphics which i hadn't touched at all.

went to watch movie with thomas, lin feng, chihiro.. I not stupid too at PS.. touching.. i teared a lot.. *blush* keke..

went to meet john nic n david at lido.. they ate already.. i wanted to try out the food at the Wisma food court.. i wasn't hungry but i ate.. wanted to buy drinks but no money.. forgot to ask chihiro for money.. =x


fri
mom took leave today to go for lunch buffet with her sisters and brother. i was rather extra, cuz i didn't know who were coming. the restaurant at hotel rendezvous was fully booked so we went to Sushi Don instead. wanted to take a video of my mom entering the hotel, but NOT FUNNY. ate a lot sia, sushi + chicken karage set with udon, chawan mushi, fruit, ice cream, scallop.. *bleah* i was embarrassed to walk around with such a big tummy. wanted to go NAFA open hse but couldn't think of anyone to go with. it poured super heavily n all i was thinking is, i'm super tired. went home to sleep.

tmr is entre day, very scared.

falling sick... sigh.

:: oops ::

i skipped class to type this. ah no, i skipped class cuz i overslept.

made some adjustments to my wishlist section.. haha. my birthday is still SO far away it doesn't matter if u read it now ;)

lemme c.... 1st feb was a wed.. no lesson... didn't go sch.. but i read email at home then i realised an assignment was due. so i bia assignment. chihiro came to my house. she wanted to get her shampoo and bath foam. felt kinda impatient that day cuz i had work to do and she kept talking non-stop about her reverend's condo in Harbourfront. =x i wouldn't have felt so impatient if my walk with God is close. sigh. it's my fault too.

2nd feb my sis came back... overslept. i dunno y i keep slping till so late nowadays!!! must kick that. so when she reached i was still on the bus to the airport. met her at Burger King.. then took cab back.. went for lunch at punggol plaza.. i kinda had the impression that she's super broke but seems like i was wrong.. she's a rich tai tai in thailand! haha.. i expected that she would ask for money from my parents on top of her ang pow money and i was wrong too! well, it's pleasant to know that she's doing well la.

went to sch to do my assignment and submit, and return library book.

fri went for lesson in the morning, had to make adjustments to the IENTP report then submit. i was very impatient with the queue at the printing shop so i left my hard disk with huixiang and i rushed off to meet my sis at Coffee Club Taka. ordered a Iced mocha vanilla. her iced earl vanilla is good! then walked around.. find dad at his workplace (kinda expected to eat there) then went to DFS.. very very nice wor! a lot of cheena tourists.. sis gave a fierce look at a little girl who bumped into her. just her luck to be born in *****. ahem.

went to lucky plaza Cahaya restaurant for lunch, SUCKS. service poor, food quality poor. they DUN HAVE KETCHUP!!! and they take a year to serve food but 1 min to settle the bill. remind me not to go there man!

kinda tired. walked to PS with her then my dad came to fetch me home.

sat had cell grp.. there was a feet washing session.. quite awkward, but i understand the significance of it. the whole theme for the day was Leadership. Jesus' example of washing His disciples' feet was to demonstrate humility of a leader. to lead is to set example.

after that i walked towards the mrt station and i saw my dad.. oh this episode is very frustrating. as i mentioned, i haven't been feeling patient recently. so when my dad scolded me for being so troublesome by wanting a lift from him n yet dunno how to get to where he is, i cried. felt very oppressed inside. so i had to let it out. was almost reluctant to talk to my dad during dinner. but ok la. had chilli crab and scallops and cereal prawns near my hse. woohoo~ felt fat.

sis cooked riceballs while i watched Initial D.. my mom was watching too at first, but she always sleeps halfway while watching shows. wad a waste. watching show with her is no fun. spoils my mood when she calls the show boring!

sun went to church together with my family.. ahhh i realise that my bus concession ended!!! =( no money to buy... my ang pow money is meant for my fusion show la. shit.

had worship prac after service.. had a double cheeseburger. after that went to Hotel Rendezvous.. hiak hiak.. with esther, my sis, elena n shirley. nah. went for drinks at the Coffee club only la. ordered a cheesecake n Strawberry tea. dun like. poor esther had to crack her brains for her work. so we helped her.. haha.. great time of fellowship and understanding them more.. =P

went home.

watched jaew for the 4th time and this time with a bit of help for translation from my sis. understand the jokes a bit more. oh man the guy in the show is SOOOO cute~!

and today.. i skipped a 3-hour lesson, to sleep for one hour, prepare and wash clothes in the next hour, and wanted to eat but decided to skip and send emails to my so-called clients for some design and type this.

going for IENTP lesson now... hopefully later can go Thai Embassy to take a look..

went home around 1+pm to take a nap.. dunno y so tired.. oh, i forgot when exactly, but i've already moved back to my own room liao. my sis coming back on thur.. haha.. woke up to help out a bit in preparing for the reunion steamboat dinner. watched 2 movies at a go, then around 11pm i went out to meet the singles' club.. hoho... miss them.... v long nv c them liao.. at first i was quite dulan, they say meet at people's park that side, but when i reached they were at chinatown point, which is across the road... it was especially difficult to cross the road cuz it was CNY n there were MANY pple. but ok la.. not long after i reach we decided to watch the fireworks and fire crackers on a bridge.. took videos of it.. v cool.. hehe.. stayed there to take photos while we waited for the crowd to clear abit. michael wanted to get party items to play.. i wanted to bring them to the really cool place to hang out... we went to a 7-Eleven on the way n saw this indian half naked but carrying his shirt, stained with ALOT of blood... yucks.. reached the cool place.. called Ann Siang Hill park. but we didn't get to sit long before we decided to move and find a better spot. maybe cuz right there was a gay pub? dunno la. walked around..... then around 1.40am i decided to go home... gotta catch the last train or else i really no money to pay for cab.

sun
CNY.. woke up not really early. didn't even get to eat breakfast. bai nian to my mom then we went to church together. my dad had to work. sigh. that was y we didn't get to visit his side of relatives. anyway we shld have taken LRT instead of bus to punggol MRT station. waited super long for the bus. sucks. when we reached potong pasir, we parted ways cuz we were going thru different entrances. i took the chance to jog.. >.< hehe yea i ran to church. v long nv go running liao... i was wearing my new shoes, new top, new Levi's ;P n new bag. hee.. Chris led worship.. without backup vocals n band... there was a new song too... erm honestly i dun like the way the bridge goes. hmm..

i really really really dun like to talk to my mom on the phone. on the hp. her phone got problem lor, she always can't hear wad i'm saying. it really irritates me a lot to repeat n repeat n each time even louder. had to meet her at the bus stop outside the diocesan centre. my goodness she doesn't even know that place is called the diocesan centre!!!! anyway. my grandmother was at the bus stop too. we took the chartered bus to clementi together. it was rather interesting, three generations of women. haha. had bak kut teh n pig's trotters for lunch. it sucks. tastes terrible. hmmph.

went to take bus 189 to bukit batok to visit my mom's eldest sister. her son was there too.. then i realise he's supposed to be my COUSIN. ohhhh. my cousins are very humorous.. like to listen to their jokes, but i dunno how to join in la. i can't speak cantonese like all of them. sigh. more relatives reached but i had to leave around 4pm.. lucky my cousin volunteered to drive me to work. i was raher frustrated cuz it's my first day of work at the Night Safari n i dunno where to report for work and how to get into the place. ah yes if u can tell, i was rather having a bad mood that day.

this guy called Auntie.. (?!?) is from thailand ;) n he cooked tom yum goong for his colleagues for dinner... n i got to know Hui hui also. had my orientation of the restaurant with another guy then swee yi arrived with black shoes for me to change into. i couldn't really start work until huixiang come with a white collared top for me to wear for work. so i was at the back scraping wax off lamps. before i started work i was already screaming inside.

it rained on n off that night. had to wipe the water off the tables and chairs.. it was really really busy that night. i worked all the way until 9pm, carrying plates and trays n glasses from customers after they were finished, then i started to countdown to the end of the day. i found it weird when customers were so defensive of their unfinished plates they had to scowl at me. not only weird. i found it infuriating. i worked until my face became very red and everyone started asking, "r u ok?" well of cuz i have to say ok la, then wad, "i quit!!!" meh. i was v v tired n hot. my arms were tired of carrying the heavy stuff, my wrists were almost going to twist and break on my way of carrying those plates to the back. i had to keep encouraging myself, "a few more steps! come on!" hmm.. i say until like it's life n death huh. not just my arms were tired, my calves were also tired, i didn't get to sit at all from 5-11pm. ok i sat down once, when my er, supervisor? he saw my face was v red and that everyone was kinda concerned abt me so asked me to take a break n get a drink. from 9-10pm time passed v slowly. then i could get to order food. i was v hungry at 7-8pm.. but i passed that stage. so i didn't really want to eat. but still wanna try out the food la. so i shared nuggets with swee yi. collected my pay after work, paid off my debts n left with swee yi. oh i owed swee yi, huixiang n yongcheng money for seoul garden. haha.. took bus to AMK then my dad came to pick me up.

mon
woke up around 10+am.. my arms n legs were aching.. shld have done some warmups before working. took mrt to tiong bahru to visit my mom's boss. had lunch there, didn't stay long before we left. went to my mom's elder sis' place in AMK. there were alot of pple there already. felt quite awkward, dunno where to sit or stand, my cousins r very hospitable, so i dun wanna give them the idea that it's their fault that i can't fit in. =x same thing, had to leave around 4pm. took bus to the night safari.. visited the toilet. WOW the toilet super stylo! haha. took a photo using my phone camera, but i am unable to upload the photos to my comp. hehe.. stupid la, the phone doesn't come with usb cable. -.-"

my new colleagues were having dinner but there weren't much food left so i didn't eat. started work by scraping wax again.. today i saw more new colleagues... a few of them v pretty wor~ today not many customers so i didn't have plates to collect till around 7pm. it didn't rain also. so can say that today more slack. budden cannot stand around do nothing also. i felt really curious.. usually when i dine i don't notice the pple who clear plates. so when i work as one i wonder how it feels to have my plate cleared. there were pple who appreciate and some who scowl at me. made me feel like avoiding them though they were done with the food later. there's something wrong with me. now when i see used plates i feel like clearing them. ah anyway. time passed more slowly today. my feet were even more tired than yday. gets better after i massage them for a while, but worse when i walk around again. my wrists were also stronger today. or maybe cuz my load isn't as bad already.

there's this guy dunno his name, reminds me of siong chew. looks like him, speaks like him. keep talking to another guy abt gaming. then the other guy keeps standing around and waiting for dishes to come in then he clear, rather than going out to look for dishes to clear. sigh. anyway it's my last day of work. so v glad to not see them again. ordered beef burger, but my order was turned down. got a fish burger instead. got my pay then went off with peilin. got a ride from her bf.. she told me the storyline of Memoirs of a Geisha on the way in the car. reached home past 12am. tired day. slept early too.

long time since i checked email.

tue
woke up slightly later than the day before.. i was rather upset that i couldn't visit my dad's side of relatives at first, cuz i won't be able to collect more red packets (shame on me!) but i realise that from experience, they would pack $4 each, so the visit will only get me $12 more. so. haha.. not a big loss. hahahaha. oh. my dad was rather excited to spend money. he dun need to work today, so he suggested watching movie. we went to AMK to watch Fearless.. had lunch at the bubble tea shop in jubilee.... OH PLS REMIND ME TO NV EAT THERE AGAIN. before the show started there was a Jay Chou mtv. super lame sia. v silly. oh the movie is SUPER GOOD. i love jet li! last time i was so in love with him that i was so happy to find a video tape of the movie Black Mask, i dunno where i found it, but it was at home. felt like i was blessed with that tape. i even bought his laminated photo from a comic shop. =P

walked around AMK but there was nothing. no shops open. so boring. i kept suggesting going to where i work to eat cuz i wanna feel how it's like to be served over there... i wanna watch the hourly show there without having to peep. haa.. ordered a fish burger n a beef burger set meals n chicken wings... i dun like the beef burger. i only like the chicken wings. walked around... then went back hometo watch tv..

these days really relax n play a lot. nv do work. jialat~!

:: We Love House ::

wahaha long time no update again

let me begin with fri

had IENTP lesson in the morning, then after that went to AMK cash converters cuz i was super super desperate for new cds. bought 2, Salvador and Rebecca St James for $10.. i would have bought more but i only had $15. after that i realise i was in deep shit cuz i needed to pay for some stuff. i had to ask pple to return me money.. =x

i had nothing to do at home, so started to watch vcds i borrowed from hx.. watched H2 and... OMG! i fell in love with the main character!!!! woohoo~ at around 5 i started to prepare to go out. becuz if i dun go out before my parents come back i have a hard time explaining y i have to go out, and why i was dressed the way i was. ahaha. i wore eyeliner.....for the first time!! i ever tried experimenting with eyeliner but never wore it out before. i thought i didn't do a good job eh.

took bus 62 to punggol.. waited super long sia.. when i nv wait for 83, it comes. n 62 comes when i dun need it. was choosing between 85 and 43.. new bus services at punggol but i nv took b4. i realise i dunno how to get to orchard if i take 85 to yishun. so good thing 43 comes first. took probably 1 and a half hours to marine parade. went to the toilet in Parkway Parade, walk into ebase.. then went to take bus 36 to orchard. found weiting, working at 7-eleven at Orchard Shopping Centre.. i kinda nv realise that building is orchard shopping centre. ahaha. weiting says my eyeliner is ok. haha.. chatted with her for a while then she rushed off for a party liao. took bus to tiong bahru to meet amanda. i wasn't hungry but i dun wanna drink on an empty stomach so i bought some bread to munch while waiting for her.

we took bus 16 to Great world city then walked over to Zouk. guess wad was the event? We Love House! kor was going to spin for an hour. i was worried cuz i was broke and dun have enuf for cab home. haha.. met alex, shuping, jenna, siong chew, yong teng, carl, chucky, and GUESS WHO ELSE. someone i wouldn't expect to see. never. kuok zhiqiang lor!! siao de. i think i saw wilson also but he didn't see me. oh, i didn't drink at all. =) was busy looking around for cute guys. kor has a friend very cute, but didn't get to tok to him at all. aha. i still rem kor thot of a way to introduce us. a v funny way. (didn't happen tho, anyway.)the toilet is quite interesting.. first time there since zouk renovated before halloween last yr.

got quite bored cuz there were a lot of pple n i felt like i have no space to even stand. kept wanting to walk around to see more cute guys. there were quite a number that night, ;P around 1+am i wanted to leave already. eyes very tired cuz of the smoke from the smoke machine that blows mandy's skirt up and my top too. bleah~ took cab with her. we told the driver we only have $30 together, but he accepted the offer and drove us both home. washed my hair at the sink cuz i dun wanna wake my parents up by using the bathroom in their room. watched 2 cds of H2 then went to slp at 4am.

haha finally i finished abt friday.


now sat, i woke up around 8+ or 9+ to prepare to go Crest to choose stuff for PRC with guorong. finished around 1+pm then went home for lunch with my mom. then went to church. took lots of train that day. got a cake for weiyang and alan.. surprisingly the cake is quite cheap.. more affordable than i expected.

ok time for me to complain abt how tight my money is. got $20 from weiyang and jasmine, got $50 as allowance for THIS week. gave $10 for cell fund, $10 to top up ezlink card, $30 to children international, $10 deposited in bank, $5 for lunch on sunday and $5 kept. so THIS week no money.

had PRC preparation after cell grp. didn't have dinner but went home earlier than the psalmists. took train with esther then just nice met my parents at the same carriage. finished watching H2 and started to think a lot.

it's about pure love... makes me wanna sing Kinki Kid's Yamenaide Pure. makes me wonder what happened to love. i seem to have lost my emotions..


sunday

was still thinking abt the story even as i went to church. had breakfast that tasted sour. made me wonder if i would kena food poisoning or not. indeed i felt uncomfortable during service.. so i prayed for a strong stomach that can stand dirty food during mission trips. sermon taken from Acts, abt obeying God rather than men.

PRC sales was alright. tried a different method, simpler. turn out we didn't earn a single cent. not sure if we shld keep this system or not. went for lunch with M'kaddesh at bishan.. had char siew rice.. not really tasty to me, but the others think it looks good. diana says my haircut looks good.. haha.. i still hate it leh. went to Crest to return the stuff and then went home to slp. felt a little weak and tired.

around 6+pm lao gong called.. then i rem got dinner date with yc, hx n swee yi. =x haha.. went to woodlands to look for them. was half expecting to not eat cuz i'm broke. expected to just sit n watch them eat.. but hx they all already paid for my share... appreciate it so much! of cuz i'll return u guys money next week, thank God CNY is here.

ate a lot of meat.. a bit regret haha.. need to cut down la. really happy to meet up with them.


and lastly, monday

nothing much, went for lesson 45min late but mr choong still let me sign attendance... really thank God.. manage to catch the lesson. had lunch with swee yi n john then went for IENTP lesson. had a difficult time trying to balance out the financial plan.

wanted to slp when i get home, but there's no time. need to send ODAC the tshirt design n finish up my ID proposal.

need to buck up!! i need motivation!!!

:: JB and the whole week ::

sat
woohoo.. my first time going into msia without parents or teachers (during my sec 3 geography trip)! waited really really patiently for this chance leh.. gotta thank the pple involved like ian, he always go back to msia on sat so i can only go on sat if i want his guide and protection into the foreign land. thank hx n carl (macam one entity already) for company, i already pulled them in for this trip long ago but always v scared kena pang seh last min. so wanna thank wendy for accompanying me also.. without her i might be shopping alone. wanna thank the rest of my IENTP grp members for continuing to do their work tho i'm on a shopping trip.. a little disappointed that they keep pushing things till the last minute but seems like we're gonna make it after all. wanna thank the hairdresser for not being at home or else i would be late meeting wendy n ian at woodlands.

ah anyway. met them at 10.30.. supposed to be 10am.. i was 10 min late myself, but i didn't expect them to be later. went to woodlands checkpoint nearby the shopping centre to change money. rates S$100 = RM 262.20. i changed S$50, wendy also. my mom gave me extra RM 70+ while i had RM 10+ leftover from my last trip. received a sms from my dear huixiang abt her taking her time because we r late. i was furious man. that's really bad attitude. but i must control my temper la. i'm having PMS so naturally anything can make me fly into a rage. waited n waited for her n carl at the checkpoint, so ian, wendy n i went thru the customs first. saw baboon!! n her 4F friends.. haha.. when the couple finally arrived, we took a bus into msia.

queued at the msia customs for 40min, as recorded by ian.. walked over to City Square. had teh at an indian foodstore while they had briyani. ooh i hate briyani. noticed a cute guy from the Samsung booth.. ; ) after that proceeded to shop at level 5. saw a lot of funky punky shops.. one shop is vvvv cool!! got revolving display for clothes. must be expensive man. the designs r nice..

went into their Cyberzone, so-called annex of the shopping centre.. first thing i bought was magazines!!! hehe.. spent RM 11.50. walked around.. like a few clothes but decided to come back later. we decided to split up cuz we wait for each other v waste time. i pulled wendy n ian to Levi's.. tried on a few pairs n finally bought one Red Tab jeans for RM 199! hohoho~~ a lot of pple in the shop, dunno y.. v cheap meh? singapore's Levi's like v high class, only rich pple go in one, so the shop always v empty. then ian the good boy went home.. i changed with him S$10 so tt i can return wendy money n spend a bit more.

even though JB got S&K n ebase, they dun have the latest versions. even their macdonald's got Prosperity burger, what we had LAST YEAR. ahaha.

walked around till my feet were sore!! kept whining.. haha.. poor wendy had to put up with me.. she bought a white top for RM 89 wor!!! threepointsix brand de.. i like a piece of that brand but it's the same price too.... dun think i will buy it. then it was time for dinner. went to Cyberzone at Level 3 n chose a jap restaurant. had kyushu ramen for RM 12. cool..~~ they serve complimentary green tea too. after tt i wanted to buy somemore clothes but noticed the rest seem to want to go back home so we went back.

oohh i hate pple squeezing n pushing their way in a contained space!!! yucks! at woodlands i was stoned already. i walked past the berth where my bus is n then i realised. at sengkang i alighted to change bus to go home but on the bus i was stoning again.. i looked out of the window, doesn't look like my bus stop. then i look the other side, eh, blk 171. hmm shld i alight? i didn't. i alighted at the next stop, crossed the overhead bridge n took the next bus back. toopid sia!

then went i reached home i saw my mom looking at some SK II stuff.. i asked her how much she bought it for n she told me to shut up. i was pissed man. how can she value tt stuff more than me??? how can!! terrible of her!!! the older she gets the more ai swee she is. sianz. i somehow get the idea tt she doesn't like me to be at home cuz when i told her i spent a whole day at home she will complain abt her electricity bills.

sun
woke up at 8.30am.. took my time.. weather was so cool tt i wld like to lie in bed all day. haha.. reached church at 10.15. was unsure abt the new location of the youth service so i was glad hanqiang was late with me. =x after service saw kwek n she wanted to tour the sch. so i joined her n peishan n hannah.. then she dropped me off at potong pasir mrt.. waited for my cell grp to decided where to eat then i join them. 10 min seem v long.. cuz of the rain n the noise the cars make when they drive past.

went to ng ah sio bak kut teh for lunch.. hoho.. took a sip of the soup n i choked. SO MUCH PEPPER!!! usually i cld eat 2 servings of rice but must try to cut. so i finished 1 serving n tt's it. after lunch took brandon's car home. rested a while then my uncle came with my new Barebone. have yet to take photo of it, cuz after installing a few stuff, it broke down. sigh. uncle took it back again. went to rest again then went out for dinner. it has been raining the whole day n shows no sign of stopping. ate a lot man. sigh.

mon

tue
public hol.. expected to go for breakfast with mom. she bought Mochi!!! yummy~!! then watched Home on the Range.. went out with ting.. went to marina sq.. saw in-base first.. very happy cuz it was a very big store.. haha.. saw the top that i wan to get but decided to hold first in case i see something better.. so walked around in search of ebase.. i like ebase clothes.. they have big clothes to hide a big figure like mine. hahaha.. didn't see the top i wanted.. sigh~ walked into alot of shops, some i dun see what i wan. i got some specific requests one.. haha.. must be v-shaped (i forgot y but i think i suit v-shape better) n i dun like plain and simple. i like unique. i dun wan long sleeves. i dun wan tight fit. the sleeves shld be short like razorback kind cuz i got broad shoulders. anyway found 2 green pieces, one for $19.90, one for $34.90. i managed to get discount so i got those 2 for $40. supposed to be $49+ so i v happy!! haha..

saw jinwen n then huiyi.. weiting saw her friend too, on our way to my hse. we watched Jaew together while eating nissin Chili Crab cup noodles... *drooolz* hehe then i passed her some clothes. i dunno y but it feels good to empty my wardrobe and make way for new clothes.. haha..

dad bought a hp yday n let me use it. i dun like panasonic la. i prefer nokia for its UI.

wed
went to sch early.. hope to find someone to have lunch with. sigh. in the end i bought bread. short lesson of interactive design.. then went for National Education lecture on crime prevention. this guy called phil ho quite action, but manages to capture attention whenever he makes a loud sound. quite funny la. n it kinda had an impact on me.. after tt went to mac for DG with christine and lydia. she told us she has a good news to share, n lydia n i guessed it. haha.. she's getting married! hoho.. my sis vaguely remembers her. anyway. i was glad we ended early cuz lydia had to leave. i was getting tired.

thur
i thought there was lesson at 3.. went to sch at 1+pm, hoping to find someone to have lunch with again, but surprisingly couldn't. everyone is busy. i dunno y i was so bored. there was no lesson. but there was phototaking for fusion. bought some bread again to eat n i saw michael n eileen.. chatted with them while i ate. oh yah. i was supposed to come up with 5-10 designs for SDN club. sigh. i hope they dun depend on me.

phototaking was quite fun la, but i look terrible. i juz dun like the way i look on photos. waited for dinnertime.. had reunion with farah n yihan n murucus to celebrate yihan's belated bday at breek's. it was quite alright la, the price.. n the food was rather bland. had the weirdest icecream. vanilla n expresso, chocolate and peanut butter. haha..

i'm broke.

fri

:: left anything behind? ::

monday felt like sunday to me.. i realised i left my baby G behind in jeremy's hse after i got to the bus stop outside his house..

then yday john asked to borrow my camera n i said alright.. later he kept hinting to me like "u went for a church camp recently is it?" n "u went to fy room on friday right?" LOL.. my first reaction is innocently ask, "y? did i leave anything behind?" ROAR! (learn from judy)

oh yday judy came to my hse after dinner. i ate a lot for dinner.. :P jialat.. thank God i managed to maintain my weight miraculously.. haha.. yes i weigh myself everyday.. abit obsessed. we discussed our project stuff till 11.30pm then i couldn't wait!! took out my Jaew n Beautiful Boxer to watch with her. watched until 3am like tt.. jialat now my body clock is adjusted to around tt time.. couldn't fall asleep, so chatted with her on the bed.. ;) hahaz.. the last thing i rem is hear her say "army..." then we dozed off.

i had a nightmare... dreamt that a big spider dropped inside my shirt n i tried to get it out. went to some room n decided to shower n get it out. then instead of the spider i saw an insect of equivalent size.. it was..red colour.. i tried to capture it inside the cloth.. managed to.. then it suddenly jumped out at me!!! of cuz i panicked.. i turned around n saw in the mirror a lot of big bites on my back.. then somehow i woke up..

i set the alarm at 7am but we woke up at 10.30am when her phone rang!! we were like "shit!!!" n quickly jumped out of bed. i still wanna have breakfast.. so we went to punggol plaza n ordered prata n breakfast set. then we went back to my place, pack up a bit, discuss further abt the project then she went off. i still continued to use the comp for another project then rushed out to meet stephanie.

met her at far east plaza, brought her to Green View cafe for lunch.. oh it would have been perfect if not for bean sprouts n GARLIC!!! yucks! we went to 7-eleven to get drinks then walked to scotts coffee bean where we sat down to discuss project. think we ended the meeting around 3pm.. went to Gramophone to take a look.. it was a new opening.

we parted ways n i went to visit my dad's workplace. got mixed up with Orchard Parade Hotel n Orchard Hotel. i hope i didn't look like i was loitering around the area... anyway i saw Fann Wong at the former. cool huh. my dad was kinda telling all his co-workers i'm his daughter.. hoho.. quite cool.. his workplace is erm. like lucky plaza kinda laopok look. aircon blasting loudly n leaking at some areas, stale smell, old cafe setting. at 5pm there were some disgusting men staring n pointing n talking about me.. one of them even came up to my dad n asked, "uncle, ni de nu er ah?" my dad somehow antisocial or dao.. didn't really reply him WAHAHAHA. his workplace is really boring man. no music, nothing to do just sleep, stare at blank spaces.. sigh. not my type of job man. went inside the kitchen n watch him fry vegetables.. then helped him bring out to the serving area.

i had 2 more hours to spare cuz he wanted me to wait for him to get off work then go home together so i went to Borders. walked the whole bookstore.. tired and bored. around 7.20 i went back to Orchard hotel staff canteen, had my dinner then waited for him to pack up. i noticed there were a lot of...notices. "PLEASE CLEAR YOUR USED CUPS AFTER USED..." "THIS SINK IS SOLELY FOR WASHING HANDS. PLEASE DO NOT BRUSH YOUR TEETH OR RINSE YOUR MOUTH HERE." "DO NOT BRING ANY FOOD OUT OF THIS CANTEEN" ... funny sia..

it was drizzling when we left.. took bus to dhoby ghaut then train home. i realise i've been visiting orchard a few days in a row already.....i think.

:: happening ::

wahh i typed a v long entry n i carelessly went to another page n lost all that i typed!! i'll try to repeat what i typed. sigh.

sat morning woke up to find my parents still at home. usually they would be out. my dad cooked hor fun.. nice but he put in too much garlic.. my stomach felt weak for the rest of the day. went to dionne's hse the bus stop to meet her to get back my plastic bag of presents.. v careless of me to leave it behind.. =x

took bus to sengkang then train to potong pasir. i thought i could rem the way, in the end i still got lost.. sigh. practised Silent Night with the choir and other carols too, like Angels We Have Heard On High, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and O Come All Ye Faithful.. rehearsal ended around 6.30pm.. was quite impatient n want to rush off asap.. cuz i arranged to meet Singles' Club at orchard at 6.30pm.. =S michael so buey on lor.. when i arrived wendy wanted to get santa hat so we walked to watson's. there were only her, david n me..

we decided to have dinner at Taka Coffee Club.. shiok place man.. we had a wonderful window view that can overlook all the people downstairs squeezing.. we were sitting comfortably n enjoying dinner.. ;) i ordered seafood lasagne.. a lot of seafood sia.. shiok.. wendy ordered chocolate fondue for dessert. i'm not a chocolate fan la, but i tried it with each fruit, including kiwi!!! first time trying.. v sour sia.. strawberry also sour. we stayed until the shop closed, chatting, reading mag.. shaun was v happy when i finished browsing thru the 150-pg Cleo.. ahaha..

after tt we walked to dhoby ghaut mrt station. spent our countdown in NEL.. wanted to rush home cuz Faith said she would come a little after midnight. influenced the singles' club de to go all the way to punggol n even take the LRT with me.. hehe.. took one whole round with them. siaoz! had a good bath n started to write christmas cards.. =x faith came around 2+am.. we went to slp at 4am.. jialat..

next morning woke up at 7.30am.. late liao lor.. kena scolding... not really scolding la, but a talk on discipline. anyway service was short n good.. so we could go around exchanging presents n greetings n get to know the newcomers. there was a dance item, a song item, videos n we ended the service with Open Up The Gates! coolz.. felt bad when i saw the pple i didn't manage to write card for.. couldn't finish writing lor.. went for lunch with cell grp at a coffeeshop nearby. had char siew + roast chicken rice.. the chicken is breast meat lor!! =x forced myself to eat. after tt went to find Agape at the soya bean dessert shop. ordered a bowl of riceballs.. couldn't finish when they started to leave at 1.40pm.. so i takeaway.

took mrt to somerset and went to Cineleisure Kbox to meet Alvin the main character.. expected to sing little tt day.. i dun really listen to secular music anymore.. i could only sing old songs like Grasshopper!!! =P Faith brought her friend Jamie to join us. gave Alvin his present (tshirt).. i was worried it might not fit him.. hope he likes it. felt bad cuz i already told him beforehand tt we will treat him to KTV.. in the end there were not enough cash to treat him so he had to fork out $5 himself. =(

after KTV went with weiyang to downstairs to withdraw money n get present for cell grp gift exchange party. took cab to jeremy's hse.. malcolm cooked dinner.. we arrived just in time shortly after they started eating.. food was greeeeaaat man! there was red wine n white wine.. after dinner we played sabo game.. the forfeit is to drink water.. lol.. then we had thanksgiving session. i've appreciated each person in their christmas cards, so i thanked God for this whole yr. quite tired by then cuz it was midnight liao.

we had "ah peh" session.. it was a good time cuz i felt closer to my cell grp after tt. don't worry man i can keep things within four walls.. so i also hope others dun reveal what has been called a secret. at least exercise discerning abt revealing certain stuff. Christians shld not be viewed as gossipers. after tt the guys started acting crazy n drunk.. they sang a song for elizabeth (leong) cuz she joined us a a guest. they also sang a song for me for using jeremy's tshirt as a blanket.. haha.. i fell asleep despite they were making a din. but i woke up when i heard them suggest the girls go up to jeremy's room to slp. made my way there n slp again. until 10+am..

went for breakfast with diana n brandon n aijia n malcolm at KAP mac. ordered a sausage mcmuffin. the student meal is same portion, but 75 cents less. keke.. took bus 61 to harbourfront n took mrt home with brandon n aijia. went home to slp somemore.. =P wasn't tired but just want to feel the bed. haha..

woke up for dinner at sengkang The Soup Restaurant. went to metro cuz my mom got $100 voucher.. tried on a few pieces of clothes.. like one.. but in the end didn't buy cuz she didn't find anything she like.. couldn't make up $50 to use the voucher so we left.
