:: =x ::

thur slept until i'm satisfied.. hoho.. decided to go library with my laptop to do work.. n find books n listen to music.. cool way to chill out.. went for lesson on time.. this week has been good, praise God.. been going for lesson on time (even if i were a few minutes late the lesson hadn't even started) =)

went to fy room to find nic n david.. wendy treat wor~! she got her pay liao.. woohoo~ went to pastamania for dinner.. felt like trying the dessert, but tt day the dessert i wanted was not available. after dinner walked to mindcafe.. john n david came later.. we played cluedo.. haha.. wendy won 2 games n nic won 1..

fri jialat cuz i couldn't wake up despite setting 2 alarm clocks.. n i went home too late last night.. my parents were asleep already so couldn't inform them wad time to wake me up.. but thank God my dad was still around, can ask him to send me to sch. it was intro to entre lesson. ms ang v nice n motherly.. she allows us to come at most 8.15 cuz she understands we cannot wake up so early! hehe.. went thru lecture... hmm.. somehow i feel there's a reason in me taking that module.. i dunno y.. i took business management during my 1st 3 months in JI too.. v fun.. learnt abt sole proprietorship, limited liability all that... but kinda forgot... =x

it was a 2 hour lesson.. supposed to meet my SBM grp members but since we were allowed to use monday lesson time to brainstorm ideas i decided not to meet them. so i called my dad up to pick me up. we went to vicom cuz he had to pay road tax.. then went to sembawang (something) food centre for lunch..

went to konica minolta service centre in commonwealth to find out how i can repair my camera.. the cost is $150.. straight away my dad decided dun wanna repair, then we left.. the pple there weren't friendly anyway. i was wondering if i shld approach the counter straight, but they just stared at me like wondering what i'm going to do.. there wasn't a welcome or a smile either. idiots.

went home. sleep for abt 1-2 hours then woke up to go for idn conference. was wondering how to get in, whether i shld pay $35 to get in or not.. then my dad decided to eat prata downstairs. haha.. when i was done, hx they all were outside. they lent me their pass (shhh!!) then managed to "smuggle" me n darius n teo hong in. haha.. walked around.. i was quite impressed by some works la.. especially the interaction installations.. becuz i'm taking the module now. bought 4 idn magazines for $30. imagine if i had to pay entrance fee... the magazines wouldn't be worth it liao. darius got a book free when it was supposed to cost $15 lor! hor hor.. haha.. then he went to get autograph.. smudged ink over his shirt.. haiyo.. then he wanted to ask another guy for autograph.. dunno he dao or wad, just anyhow scribbled a word nia lor.. anyway i saw a few thais.. ^.^ i dunno y, just have the urge to go up to them n get to noe them.. =x hehe.. stayed back till the end.. watched the UnitedVisualArtists showcase... v cool.. i like the sperm one.. haha.. they all move randomly, but spin in the same direction at certain intervals.. v synchronised with the music.. i wonder did they create the music themselves or can it be other pple's music?

took mrt home.. fri was a very eventful day for me.. thanks friends who helped me get into designedge!

sat no cell grp.. did my animoweb n packed my room till 3pm then rushed out to Old Saigon.. saw a very handsome guy on the train!!! looks a bit like vanness.. :S but v nice features. It's servio's first month! had vietnamese food... it was quite nice la.. better than the last vietnamese cuisine i had.. =S wee lee drove me n serene to church.. i was the prayer IC for the worship prac that week.. wasn't really prepared.. i just wanted to share a passage, but i don't know how to speak.. i always blabber one whole round n pple dun understand my point... at least that's what i thought. i thought as long as my mind is empty God can use me more easily.. but then i really felt brainless lor.. wasn't using my brain. haiz.. after prac paul sent me n esther home.

next morning i woke up quite on time, i even called esther to make sure she's up.. but i guess i spent a little too long finding clothes.. i dun iron clothes anymore, so i was wondering if i can wear certain shirts n still look neat.. other than that i spent a long time waiting for bus. abt 10-20 min.. not usual lor.. =( in the end we were late..

saw kwek. she is driving!!! so cool... hahaha... i insisted getting a ride i dun care although it was just up n down the slope in SAJC! hehe.. had camp comm meeting after service.. after tt went for lunch with a few of the camp comm members at ikea. didn't have much money, just nice $5.. =x chatted.. wanted to buy box for the camp, but decided can do so another time. went home.. dunno y i guess i was tired.. slept on the train like a log.. i nv drool or snore la... just didn't wake up till punggol. glad to live at the end of the train line. dun have to worry abt missing my stop.

oh.. lately i've been feeling kinda desperate. haiz. was watching tv more often lately.. saw a lot of cute guys on tv... hmm.. watch this show Rainbow Connection.. i really think the guy acting as Martin v cute!!!!! i like that character also.. rich but rather depend on himself to earn a living, strong, tall, dark, handsome, faithful, rather humorous... then i started to pray for such a man to come into my life! hehe.. i still remember adeline (zoe tay)'s words when she spoke to me inn tanjung balai... she said tt i'll surely get a handsome bf in future.. well, i'm looking forward to it!! hehe.. but i wasn't dealing with it the right way. i think on sunday night, i went online.. went to friendster n saw a friend's profile n photos... v disappointed in the change in her, but also rather envy of her beauty n popularity.. i started to become obsessed in a way. .. i ...dun wanna describe the extent of the obsession la.

anyway i haven't been sleeping well these few days.. stress i guess.. nowadays it takes me longer to fall asleep. i'm starting to lose appetite also.. rather conscious of my figure. i'm way past my ideal weight n i'm like not doing anything abt it lor. =( monday i just happened to pass by a noticeboard n i wonder if these r symptoms of depression? hmm.. anyway my SBM grp members for IENTP r v pretty! hoho~ honestly i was quite discouraged when my ideas were not chosen.. but of cuz my ideas r not necessarily the best n that they shld use them ma.. i know that, but just felt discouraged that's all. maybe it was the way they were being shot down. well.. went home n had a 15 min rest before going to meet my mom for dinner. wasn't hungry, but i ate anyway.

tue early lesson again.. not bad, got inspired. after lesson went to fy room to do my freelance work. been putting it back for a long time. my home pc crashed.. but i forgot to bring some essential stuff. kinda wanted to go home to take. showed mr choong my animoweb... he didn't give comments la. continued to work on the freelance thing then went to compass point for dinner with mom. not hungry, don't feel like eating, just wan to sleep. shared a meal with her. went home to watch tv.... now trying to see how i can save my computer. thank God the important files r not in my comp.

my mom is tempting me to go KL in dec... just before the camp.. dunno i can go or not leh... =x

:: heh ::

i agree to the quiz result to a certain extent. i don't tend to speak much, because i really believe that When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise. (Proverbs 10:19) when i blurt out words it's often not kind.. before i criticise, i will hold back n think whether i shld say or not. so pple tend to see me as quiet.. (i hope they dun think i'm dao or that i'm ignoring them) sometimes i dun agree to things, but i also hold back my comments. that's y i always lose out in tongue fight. i need boldness from God!

there's this person who talks nonsense like it's free. what this person doesn't know is he/she has already offended a number of pple thru the nonsense. but i pray that i will forgive that person for offending me n God will forgive me for resenting that person.

animoweb.... dieeeee!!!!

anyway last night went for prayer meeting to help do projection. it was quite a disaster because i dunno how to go to SAV. paul was going to pick me up at potong pasir mrt station, at this road called Meyappa Chetiar Road n i didn't know where it was. i looked at the directory n it was no use because i don't even noe which direction i was facing. jessica told me to walk right (or left) n i walked the opposite direction.. in the end late for the prayer meeting. setup the laptop in a rush n i dun even noe the password to the login. logged in as Guest n i couldn't use the projection program WA. felt quite pai seh cuz i was juz right in front hoping no one's staring at me.. but praise God in all circumstances. after that paul gave me the password n i managed to setup. went for prayer walk. it was night time, the place was deserted, but God's presence was with us so there was no fear. anyway went home on paul's car.. sat at the driver seat for a while haha.. the steering wheel very hard to turn sia.. n i dun dare to test the honk. haha..

this morning had breakfast with my mom cuz she took sick leave. had murtabak with chicken without onion.. very filling sia.. kinda reluctant but i went to office then we went pizza hut at amk for lunch. thanks boss for the treat. i was not realli prepared to eat a lot. wanted to just drink pepsi. but i also had soup and 2 pizza slices. ate slowly so that they wun give me anymore. walked back to office. saw jie mei sam... man, he got fatter sia!! n he noticed i got fatter also.. =( used the comp for a while then decided to go home accompany my mom but esme needed help with the TAT diary. so i stayed back to help her. then yihan kena asthma attack.. this made me thank God for giving me good health, that i'm able to breathe without problem. made me appreciate air even more. but yihan was quite jialat she couldn't even sit up. i remember ever crying until that bad. i managed to finish my work at 6 so i went back home for dinner. mom cooked instant noodles with egg n golden needle mushrooms n vege. the only thing i like abt korea is the instant noodles. how pathetic.

oh yah.. my pay is $3.50 per hour. honestly it's peanuts. as if i'm working not for the salary. as if my family is doing well. my dad juz found a job but it's hell la.. he even had to go back on public holiday n weekends. i dun expect him to work long at that job. my mom is praying for opening of a new job too. too much work for her. see, she's even falling sick now. n my sis is already struggling to pay for her own living. i may have been promised a better pay once my term ends, but i really can't wait.. we gotta pay $200 for our graduation show. my mom stopped giving me allowance for a while. so i had been living on my previous months' pay. now if i get $3.50 per hour n i can only work for 2 days a week it's like around $200 per month? n i have to pay for every snack n drink i take from the office? boss said he was just joking but i was really offended by that, man.

dieeee....animoweb....!!!!!

(uh i can't rem the name of the game) basically some boardgame where we have to complete routes to win points. yup. played till 10+ hehe a few cute guys there.. haha..

tue
by rights it's a public holiday, but i went back to work so that i can take friday off. actually the work was supposed to be rushed out by wed. my parents had the day off, so i had breakfast with them at Kopitiam. worked on Adobe Indesign.. picked up this software cuz the work requires the skill. i didn't expect the sch to be closed.. haha.. so i was locked outside. had to use intercom to get my entry. felt weird. haha.. went out for lunch.. hmm.. didn't expect to be able to leave on time also, but since i couldn't do any work no point staying also. the network played me out man.. i saved my stuff on the server n it failed me.. i felt like i couldn't do anything.. had to restart comp a lot of times n see if the server is back up. sucks. shit man i didn't know the diary can wait. n muz bia the calendar first. i did the work at the wrong time. so by the time i realise it i felt very lost. sucks. went for dinner with my parents. had black pepper crab.. it was heaven man.. so i felt better after the meal.. haha.

wed
hmm.. got alot of work done.. but very tedious so i couldn't finish it on time. my dad started work at his new job so he couldn't send me to sch anymore.. sigh.. need to wait for bus, n the journey takes double the time of taking motorbike lor. a bit not used to public transport again. stayed behind to discuss my timetable with my boss. decided to come in on tue n thur. n i dun understand what is daily pay basis. means i get money everyday that i work? hmm.. my parents have cell grp so i cooked instant noodles for dinner. worked on animoweb. very tough cuz my concept is still v rough.

(procrastinator) well.. i dun think slippers shld be more than $10 lor.. since i bought my $8 pair, the next one $4, then $2.90... i no longer look at expensive slippers. anyway went to marina square n bought cake. celebrated the november babies birthday at Carl's Junior. a lot of them couldn't eat the cake cuz they had a v full lunch already. then i ordered a meal to share with jac.. it was just nice enough, n i like the bacon burger. man, i can never eat a full meal on my own! i will take the whole day man.. walked around.. quite tired, thinking of my animoweb..... on my way home on brandon's car, shaun called to ask me if i'm going to farah's place.. then i was like "oh no!" forgot abt it! hee.. went home to sleep. woke up for dinner.. mom cooked spaghetti. n watched Daredevil n 2002 on tv.. i was like thinking to myself "hey go n do animoweb la"... but i didn't.. =x only started work at 11pm. do until 3am like tt then went to slp.

:: ok, updates ::

friday went for ladies retreat at Sofitel Palm Resort in JB, missed david's bday celebration.. find tt the resort not as high class as phuket one... hoho.. had a great time getting to noe more abt the ladies.. they have tons of advice on marriage, work, etc. i shared room with esther. she brought her work to do wor.. =x haha then i keep telling her dun do work, or else defeat the purpose of the retreat, right! i didn't get to relax a lot during the retreat. probably becuz i chose to go out shopping when i can slp more hahah

the food is quite bad... i realise i was eating rubbish. lots of garlic, n other funny stuff. i even ate dessert!!!

bought a bag, a pair of shoes.. wanted to buy clothes, but when i tried it on i realise it doesn't look good on me. looks better on slim figures. i'm fat....yyyyuuuucccckkksss... there was deliverance session after each sermon session. i love the teaching sessions. very full of the speaker's own life experience. very impactful.

on the way back quite discouraged by the way the tour guide describe christians. but he also said that when he sees us, he feels a sense of peace. at least that makes me glad..

hmm.. monday went to office. thot i was supposed to work. but my boss thought i was just dropping by. o.0 nvm, that's good, can do my own stuff.

tue my boss announced that i'm supposed to start work officially tmr. hmm..~

wed working on organiser. lots of layout.

friday after work went to look for amanda at city hall.. met annabel n some others from shammah. talked to annabel n got to know her better. she got a project for me.. but not confirmed. went for The Tektile Movement's 1st anniversary celebration at Liberte at CHIJMES, cuz kor's part of the team. as DJ wor!!~ *proud of him* but i got a feeling tt he's being bullied leh.. his guest list had to cut short so that the bigger DJ can invite more friends. dotz... there was buffet dinner but i didn't eat much. busy looking around for cute guys but too bad all not my age one. wahaha.. had vodka cranberry.. hmm~ i bought that from DFS when i came back from Phuket. but i didn't open it yet. then jueru n her sis arrived.. went to eat with them.. wow went into a posh italian restaurant. felt uneasy cuz it's not my type of place to hangout. so i tried to behave myself as best as i can, trying to recall what i learnt from etiquette class. there's real application now lor.. like choosing utensils to eat certain food.. :S wow.. i think jueru realli looks like her sis. they're getting more n more alike. cool!

sat went to church earlier to learn thai from amber. wah need to "undo" a lot of pronunciation. hmm.. then cell grp... it was more of a time of reflection. hmm, when they hear that i'm being paid IAP amount for work, they all say i'm being cheated. even macdonald can pay more than 450 per month. it's true.. i dunno la, looking forward to getting promoted. but there's a lot of stress now. i need to bia my minor project by next week. dunno got time or not. die liao..

bia video editing now.. i dun dare to take up jieling's video editing project.. must learn to reject offers if i cannot handle.

:: warning ::

WARNING! THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG ENTRY!

Sun
went to church with my parents, a little late.. hehe. it was raining. after service went to join my parents for lunch at seah im food centre. Godma n her sisters n godpa were there too.
after tt went home to do a final packing n then left house for the airport. took taxi. reached around 3.15pm.
wendy michael n shaun came to send me off.. hoho~ i was just checking in when they arrived. walked in circles around the airport with them before going into the departure gate.. haha..
quite irritated cuz there were a lot of old pple rushing into the same plane as us. quite a got a seat with quite a good view. took lots of photos of scenery outside the plane.
bought red wine - in cans! cool~
reached phuket ahead of schedule.. =) it was a smooth flight with Tiger Airways.. took the airport limo service for 300 baht. supposed to take the red and yellow meter taxi but since this price is good we took the limo taxi instead. the taxi took us thru the woods. for a moment we kinda freaked out. but i have peace, that the taxi is bringing us to the correct place. =)
met sis at the Laguna Allamanda. she noticed that i grew fatter.. =( check into the hotel... nice~! our room is in another block. like chalet kinda thing.
went for dinner at the restaurant at the lobby. had kuay tiao soup. went back to bathe then slp.

had seafood dinner at Laem Hin restaurant, quite a hidden place from the tourist area. had curry crab, catfish, fried prawns, etc. very full. i couldn't finish my food man... =S
haha i guess i was troublesome ba. i wanted to shop in the supermarket. so we had to make a trip specially. went to Tesco Lotus n bought potato chips (=D the film pple r going to love me for that! jk~) bought facial foam, toothpaste, shower foam, shampoo n conditioner too.
went back room to slp. me n sis share one room.

Wed
dark clouds loomed over Phuket in the morning. had breakfast n it was pouring. after breakfast the clouds began to clear n the sun came out. praise God for the weather! it meant a great deal, cuz we're going ....ISLAND TOUR~! means we're gonna take boat out n jump from island to island.
the minibus came to fetch us from our hotel. it was 1 hr ride to the jetty. wore lifevests n went to take long-tailed boat to a ferry. went to Phang Nga bay.. where it was worst hit by tsunami. if i'm not wrong. there's this bunch of guys who served us drinks n there's this guy who looks a lot like Yongqiang haha... his name is tommy n he reminds me of my thai kelong bf. haha.. very flirty. thai, but very thick american accent when he speaks english.
noticed this cute hk guy but too bad he's got a gf/wife. wahaha~ when we reached phang nga bay we took canoes out. (two passengers with a crew rowing each canoe) explored a bat's cave. heard them screeching. very crowded cuz there were another company with tourists too. went out of the bats cave n got hit by their shit. =S when we came out it doesn't look like shit.
saw a lot of eagles!! they were swooping down to the food some tourists threw into the water. next stop is Horng Island. similar limestone structures with caves. canoe in and out again. when we went back to the boat there were towelettes for us.
n next stop is James Bond Island. very famous. that's where one of James Bond movies was filmed. there was a sleet of stone formed naturally. wad's so special abt it is that it's very straight cut. Got pulled to look at bracelets. yes, there are shops set up there! i was like thinking, dun waste my time la, i wun buy opal bracelets that cost 300 baht lor. took a lot of photos there. went back to the boat for lunch. quite alright la.
fell asleep for a while then tommy came to make fun of me. he wanted to get my number but i decided not to give. i told him to ask my mom for permission to get my number. haha.. i was the youngest around.
Reached Lava Island. canoed with my dad. dipped into the water with my sis. went to shower with well water. had the privilege of having a guy "shower for me". haha.. he just poured a pail of well water over me that's all la.
went back to the boat for coconut.. shiok~! they asked us to sign autograph.. i praised them for their good service. they will pick up our rubbish n often ask us whether we want drinks. tommy played some games with us. interesting... at the last game i was picked to be teased. =x very interesting, he can suck up paper at the bottom of a bottle full of water. he sucked his thumb n asked me to do the same. man! i can't do that!!
tired laew. went back on land about 5pm~
took the minibus back to hotel. went swimming straight. haha.. shiok...i like the pool. 1.4m deep. sis ordered vanilla milkshake. went back to room to bathe n then went out for dinner at a roadside stall. ordered tom yum kung, fried glassnoodles (yummm~~), pig's trotter, mixed vege, ginger chicken.
bought thai silk cushion covers.. very nice!~ at a great price for that too. bought a small sling bag for my camera n money pouch. wanted to shop for slippers. but i can buy slippers at $2.90 in singapore. over there the slippers r average 199 baht. dad went back to hotel cuz he felt uncomfortable. Sup came to join us. mom went crazy n bought A LOT of local food products.. haha.. walked thru Bangla Rd. ALOT of bars n transvesites n prostitutes. my mom got "flashed".. a guy came n showed her an album of pictures of nude girls. -.-|||
Sup's uncle "performs magic". so we went to c. quite interesting, this linking rings... i dun get the trick sia! mom took Sup's motorbike back to hotel then he came back later to fetch me n sis. wow, 3 on a motorbike, without helmet~!!! shiok~! quite scary cuz i felt like i was going to fall off. held my sis' legs tightly haha..

(i'm talking about soccer ball here) on monday itself i already know what i wan to get.. juz had to go n choose a design.. wanted to get john's birthday present as well.. but no time.. hmm~

tue after work went to look for ting cuz she was waiting for me at south canteen. gave her the present.. then wendy and michael helped me buy john's present cuz the shop closing soon.. met them at dhoby ghaut.. took very long to decide wad to eat for dinner. michael bought a army t-shirt for his hp.. haha.. we settled at Thai Express. weiting very impressive.... order double portion of noodles...!! i can't do that lor! yeah... then went home liao.. hmm~

:: dilemma ::

hmm.. my boss wants to employ me even after attachment. i also want to continue working, because it helps to build up my portfolio, besides, i learn new things everyday... i also can get pay..

but..

yday he called up my school the pple in-charge... they told him tt i need rest, it's not advisible to work while studying.. it's not advisible to burn up my holidays. i do feel tt i need break... in fact it's very depressing if i have no break lor..

so last night i calculated my money flow.. i can be satisfied after getting this month's pay, but if i wanna buy stuff like running shoes, etc etc it'll be good if i can work longer.. besides, after attachment my pay wun be PEANUTS anymore..

anyway now tt i've got holidays, i realise tt i cannot go abroad during my weekends. i muz be around in church becuz i'm committed to camp comm. i told my parents i got holiday n my mom suggested going phuket.. i asked if i can go alone, my dad was enthusiastic abt it, but she say better not. sigh~ if i go alone my sis can bring me go clubbing hahaha...

i realise i haven't really asked God wad i shld do abt my holidays..

:: update ::

PMS is over... yeah~!!!! =D

tues same thing at work... =x after work went to bishan to look at the FunkyB t-shirts.. but i was reluctant to buy cuz of the cost. i feel tt a t-shirt isn't worth more than $24 lor. at $24 i wld already be v reluctant to buy. the designs not bad la.. maybe i can do my own :P juz tt the printing of the t-shirts is a problem. yeah i forgot to mention i tried to buy a starhub prepaid topup card to call my sis on monday, but i went to tampines remember? by the time i reached punggol plaza the shop selling the card was closed. so i went on tues n topped-up my prepaid card. it'll expire in next yr march. those of u who wants my number pls sms my current number. no i'm not changing number, but i'm gonna have an extra card so tt i can use the free sms there to sms u all hahah.. it's good to have my extra number so tt in case u receive a msg from me by that number u will know it's me. ya then that night i talked to my sis for only 8 minutes then my card no value liao.. sigh~

wed boss joined us for lunch. so poor thing, no partner to eat lunch with him. went to church after work for worship conference prac.. v tired. nothing much leh.. wore a v big shirt cuz elena thinks i'm feminine. heh! hahahaa.. i'm ah beng ok.

thur boss brought us to a printing company to learn more abt print. i brought a notebook n pen n felt v pissed with myself for forgetting to bring IDN magazine cuz i had questions to ask abt printing abt the magazine. had lunch at bendemeer food centre hoho shiok. had mince meat noodles, chwee kuey, n soya beancurd ;D~~ hehehehe called my mom to ask her wad's gd to eat there cuz she went there b4.. then my mom called back excitedly becuz she realise that when i called her my photo appears on her phone screen. haha.. after work i grabbed some snacks off my office n took cab to church.

during the worship conference day 01, i felt tt it's a time to draw close to God for myself, (day 02 is a time to draw non-believers to God) it was great cuz as brent chambers asked us to stretch out hands out n lift our burdens to God, i was thinking abt my past hurts... after tt i set up last minute psalmist resource corner while Brent was singing "be still and know that I am God" i found it v difficult to be still when in the back of my mind i have a duty to do n i keep thinking, "is it time to go set up the table already?" then i went back with julian. i was still alive when i reached home la, can still do my daily weights, my quiet time.

on friday i was like thinking this week passes damn fast la.. but then can't wait to get off work. when i finally did i was quite worried i'll be v late cuz i don't have enuf money to catch cab so i had to find atm. i'm glad it didn't take v long for the cab to arrive la. it was like $1 cheaper than yday. haha.

worship conference day 02. i wasn't v excited. i dunno y, but i was burdened to pray against spiritual warfare. becuz the devil acts whenever we try to outreach. brent chambers was supposed to share on some topic but last minute due to Holy Spirit's prompting he shared something else. it's good to not follow a schedule. but itz difficult to communicate. i was worried tt the non-christians dun understand what he's saying becuz i myself dun understand v well... i find his accent v strong. n some parts were repeated last night. even the jokes were repeated. i find it hard to laugh. but towards the end everyone juz went crazy n began jumping around hehe.. i had tt experience during Festival of Praise, when Michael from shammah was still around.

was wondering if i shld join my cell grp for supper or not.. becuz if i join i have difficulty going home. if i dun join, i'll lose out in their conversations, their fellowship. so in the end i joined la. i'm glad jeremy persuaded me.. i wld feel v sad if no one tried to ask me along. it was a happening night la.. we were eating prata and chatting at the Perdana restaurant opp jeremy's hse.. we were chatting n laughing so loudly tt i fear gangs may juz come n hack us up becuz we seem like a gang too.. before we left, jieling n kelvin joined us. then malcolm sent amber n i to yishun.

i dropped off at khatib to meet the singles' club. there were 2 bicycles and 4 pple. hmm~ they decided to go fishing at lower seletar reservoir. it was like 3am already. haha.. i dunno how to cycle n i onli tried being a pillion rider once.. v scary haha.. so nic was my chauffeur while michael took the other bike with wendy standing behind. it was fun la.. i wld nv try this without them haha.. the place where we fish is v nice too.. but... we had no catch tt night n it got quite boring, so we went back to khatib. tried to learn to cycle but i still can't get it. went up to michael's place to take a look haha.. i v long, super long nv c them already lor.. didn't know tt michael changed his phone already, n nic joined back the singles' club officially. hmm, wendy n i pretty much the same la.. but i told them the news abt my company too. had breakfast at 848 coffeeshop then went home by bus. it was like 7am already la.. haha..

slept until 12+ then prepared word n went for cell grp. we're undergoing construction. haha.. had dinner with them at tiong bahru market. i think i v slow la, i was suddenly thinking tiong bahru market didn't seem to look like this. wad happened to the famous chwee kuey?? i dunno y i suddenly remember how it used to look. haha.. went home by train with brandon.. v tired.. hehe.. gd nite..
