yeah! back from KL! haha..
hmm this whole week ... there was the first day of the seventh month n there were ****** pple polluting the air and land. on my way to work i prayed that God will take the pollution away. and the next day He did! the ground was rather clean, considering it had been badly littered the day before.
hmm.. had been staying up late on wed n thur nights to bia the harvest event role tags.. do until stone. thur night was a bit better, was in a better mood. but last minute after sending the files shirley realised that the size was wrong. i was like, AHHHHH!!!!! and went to redo. slept at 3am n on friday i was like a walking zombie.
felt quite bad this week cuz there were one or two days i had nothing to do. i had to look busy still. i was doing this website, do until sian. i dunno y i didn't have the passion to do that particular website. then usually i get emails to update this website, amend that website.. but those days dun have leh. didn't get to play much with my boss' puppy also cuz whenever he goes out he'll let the dog sleep inside a cupboard.
hmm.. friday was a disaster. reason being i slept late on thur night.. have a tendancy to snap easily. there was no value in my ezlink card already n i reminded myself on thur evening that i will top it up on fri morning, after i borrow money from my dad. (i've used up my pay la) but when i asked him for $20, he only had $50. so i blur blur accepted it n left home. when i was abt to reach the lrt station it suddenly dawned upon me that i wanted to top up only $10, n have $10 to eat! i desperately started to ask pple if they have change for $50. no one have!! n then i desperately went downstairs to the shopping mall, went to cheers n asked for change, they dun have!! went to the foodcourt, n again, dun have!! i panicked n called my dad, hopefully he's still around, can drive me to mrt station. n i started to cry. i really wasted 15 min. then my dad arrived at the lrt station. he was going to take train as well. so he passed me his extra ezlink card for me to use. seems so silly to cry over this right? well i wasn't in the mood to think rationally la. i was angry with myself for being so blur. n i cry when i'm super angry.
was late for work, obviously. but i guess it was ok la becuz i usually stay a few minutes more anyway. i wouldn't dare leave on time that day too. went to take train to woodlands to meet the not-so-singles' club.. i thought from Outram i could get there in half an hour. i was wrong!! it actually takes 45 min!! then we went to take bus 950. friday was super jammed. lotsa msians going back. traffic was bad esp in the evening. but we arranged to meet ian at City Square at 8.30pm n we did arrive on time. we even helped an old man fill in his white card.
had dinner at Kenny Rogers'. i ordered macaroni n cheese, the waitress brought me spaghetti. i just wanted to clarify what i ordered n the rest called me a fussy customer. dots. i asked the waitress if my meal comes with a drink, she said something n walked away. thought she was going to bring me a menu to choose a drink but didn't. after a long wait, she brought me an iced lemon tea. did i order that? y she assume i want to drink lemon tea?! when my macaroni finally came they said it looks like shit. thanks pple.
after dinner it was soon closing time for the shops. walked around a bit then went to the train station to wait. our train was due to arrive at 11pm. just before the train arrived, we waited at the platform.. they saw a shooting star but i missed it. so sad! boarded the sleeper cabin.. we played dai dee till 1am? then went to sleep. i like to sleep on the train. around 6.30am i heard them talking n i woke up. took photos n videos of the moving scenery outside. washed up n then we arrived in KL. it was 7am. there were no shops open at that time.. so we decided to take the monorail to Imbi station n look for hotel. i like the interior of the monorail. we still had no luck at 9am. the rooms were either fully booked or too ex. so we went to eat breakfast. had dim sum n bak kut teh. v cheap leh, each person RM14 only. oh wait let me introduce, there were 5 of us: ian, nicholas, michael, wendy n myself. okay moving on, we decided to go buy bus tickets for our transport back n shun bian look out for hotels to ask for rooms. bought tickets for Konsortium bus. double decker one. finally decided to stay at Katari Hotel. but it wasn't check in time, so we deposited our bags at the reception n then went out shopping. by then shops were open already. we went to Times Sq n after walking for a while i started to get impatient. we had so little time n yet the guys took so long at each shop. so we split up to shop. bought 2 S&K tops n their magazine. that's all i bought.
walked to Plaza Sungei Wang for more shopping. wah this place pissed me off man. so big so confusing. we all waited for the lift n i was last to board. then overload cuz it was too crowded. so i stepped out n went to take the escalators. supposed to go 6th floor, but i could only reach the 4th floor. it was a rooftop carpark. i panicked n wondered how to get to the 6th floor without taking the lift! after i found them, i was pissed with ian for calling me stupid. really pissed. walked around with wendy n tried to look for checkered shorts. i think those kinda shorts dun suit me. u know, those u can see so many girls wearing nowadays. so i didn't buy. wendy bought a pearl necklace n another rather bohemian-looking one. at 3+pm we met up for dinner. had jap cuisine at Sushi station! yummy~ ate a lot.
wanted to leave Sungei Wang, but we realised that it was raining heavily. we had no umbrellas with us. we had the option of buying umbrellas, n taking taxi. but in the end we waited for the rain to stop. i had a bowl of chocolate rice dumplings. - fav dessert. choc flavour looks really unique ma, so i die-die must try. walked back to the hotel but i was quite sian becuz my slippers r rather slippery n i dun dare to walk quickly. the rest were like "angel, faster!", sigh. reached around 6.30pm. checked into the rooms. we had 2 connecting rooms. we showered n rested n then left the room around 8pm. went to the Chinatown, Jalan Petaling. there were lotsa imitation goods. i was quite sian of walking thru the crowd la. somemore not just once, but probably 9-10 times already. serious. went to eat at the roadside.. ordered stingray n claypot rice. nic ordered prawn noodles too. rating 3 out of 5 *s. i love the one back at my workplace most. i also love the one back at my old house, West Coast Rd, but not sure if it's still there.
felt back ache. very jialat. can't wait to go back. i admit that i was pulling a long face the whole night. waited for the guys to buy jerseys yet they could not wait for me to try on sunglasses. was even scolded by one stallowner for wasting time. spoiled my night. the guys bought shoes too. n i didn't buy anything at all. on our way back we saw a mobile Ramly burger stall n ordered 3. yummy~ (seems like only food can make me feel better).
went back to the hotel. again they keep telling me to walk faster. i'm supposed to walk between the guys, front n back, but the back pple want to talk to the front pple n they overtake me. then they say i walk slow. sian! rested for a while then went out for more supper. wendy told me abt the chilli crab n made me feel very gian to eat it. it was quite far la. hmm anyway i took quite long with the last piece of the crab n nic was v sian of waiting. =(
went back, showered, packed my bag n went to slp. it was around 3am. woke up at 6.30am, washed up n went back to nap some more. until ian came to wake me up. we bought tickets for the 8.30am bus back, n the rest wanted to stay somemore. so we let them sleep in. we went for breakfast downstairs n then left. i was glad that we got the upstairs seats of the double decker bus! slept through the journey cuz we were tired la. but when i woke up it felt worse. reached Larkin, the bus terminal. went to Marrybrown to eat lunch. had fish fillet burger meal. not bad la. then took Causeway Link back to the customs n to Singapore. at woodlands checkpoint i passed very quickly. n waited v long for ian.. i wasn't looking attentively for him so i was afraid he was waiting for me elsewhere n left after he didn't see me. anyway. he showed up half an hr later. i was shocked that msians take so long to pass the customs.
went to take train n bus to church for the harvest event. was v disappointed that judy pang seh me last min lor. sigh.
the performances were GOOD! but the pple around me were very bad audiences. there was a little boy who kept talking to his mother behind him. i was pissed that the mother was encouraging him to talk by leaning forward n asking him things. the person behind me didn't switch his/her phone to silent mode la. halfway the dance the phone went off. as for sermon, i think pastor joshua lost some listeners, but i pray that it is not the words that touch the pples' hearts, but rather the presence of God.
after that went home with Gail. asked my dad to pick me up at punggol. went for dinner n bought some groceries n paid some bills. first time getting a 4-digit pay.
sorry ah, today i seem to have a complaining spirit. next time when i get over it i try to take away some harsh words from this entry.

:: meetups ::
friday was good. met up with Audrey for lunch. she took the wrong bus cuz i gave the wrong info.. =P OOPS. i think i wasted half an hr of my lunch time.
had lunch at Haveli cafe. last time i found a hair in the chicken cutlet. asked them to change n they hurried through the cooking n gave me half-cooked chicken. my colleague n i were the first customers there la. so i wun blame them. went back again. this time had chicken cutlet too, but this time they changed cook. i changed my fries for rice. i think i started to love eating rice since my trip to thailand. they have wonderful rice there!
really gotta thank God, i went back to office half an hour later (1½ hr lunch), hoping to be able to explain to my boss y i went back late but.... he left already! then Val came to discuss some design stuff. after that we n juliana talked about ywam and missions. our office turned into a christian gathering! =)
juliana n i packed up n left on time. hehe..
went to meet hao.. went to (shucks i dunno where) for dinner. had beijing food. served by china women. they seriously fail the servicing exam if there were one. the woman who cleared our plates asked us y we never eat our vegetables!!!!! it wasn't in a friendly tone either.
then walked around.. explored the chinatown complex. it seriously looks like a good setting for horror film. walked towards clarke quay. (uh actually not really.) had drinks at a pub near Far East Central. tried this normandic ice with melon, peppermint, strawberry n peach flavours. we had 4 shots of each flavour. then we walked on to One George n i started to act crazy. =P went to Golden Cafe to take a look (really just a look). then walked to clarke quay to take train home.
oh yah i took part in this SBS Transit promotion http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/promotions/promo_LHM.aspx, but i didn't win!! i really stayed up till 12am to send the email!! =(

Here's the winning design:
I don't think those who didn't win should complain how the judges decided on this winning design. Do they think their design is so good that they should complain? They actually set up websites and asked participants to upload their entries to kinda show off. And try to make each other agree that the winning design was lousier.
Sigh.

:: Pirates of the Carribean ::
celebrated my dad's bday on tue cuz i would be going to watch movie on wed. my mom n i treated him to dim sum in chinatown =P~ ate until bao bao.
wed went to watch Pirates of the Carribean with SDN club.. so cool.. so happy to c my juniors.. esp *johnny* LOL.
the movie is WOW. but i dun like the intro. nic n i entered when the trailers just ended n the movie was just starting. our seats were taken by some other juniors whose seats were taken by other other juniors. so we took other other other juniors' seats. but the ushers came in and checked our tickets n made sure we got back our seats. that happened during the first few minutes of the show n i got quite blur with what was happening on the screen. furthermore the intro was too much conversations. i forgot who is william turner n how he is related to elizabeth. U MUST WATCH PART 1 JUST BEFORE PART 2 - if u're as forgetful as me. i tend to forget movie storylines.
after that commotion tt happened earlier we all quietened down. yup there was a part where the juniors clapped for Captain Jack Sparrow. -duh-
then sweeyi came in. i ate popcorns till i got ulcer.. =(
we went to chat with Eugene after the show n he told us there would be a short ending after the casting. so we stayed back to watch. it was -duh-. haha.. in a funny sense la.
i love that movie!! i'm so gonna watch part 3!

:: คนที่ไม่เข้าตา ::
มองใครต่อใครที่เดินจับมือเกี่ยวกัน
เห็นเค้าเหล่านั้นก็นึกอิจฉาในใจ
ทำไมไม่เป็นไม่มีอย่างเขา คิดแล้วมันก็เศร้าใจ
มีเพียงความเหงา ให้เดินกอดคอเท่านั้น
ที่นั่งติดกันเวลาดูหนัง คือใคร
จะกิน จะเดิน จะนอน ก็เหงา
ไม่มีใครเคียงข้างกาย ไม่มีใครเลย
จะมีใครใครรัก คนหน้าตาอย่างฉัน
ที่มันธรรมดาไม่เข้าตาเหมือนใครๆ
จะมีใครใครไหม ที่จะมองแต่หัวใจ
จะมีไหมใครเข้าใจรักกัน
จะมีกี่คนที่เค้าจะมองอย่างนั้น
จะมีสักวันบ้างไหม ที่ฝันเป็นจริง
จะมีกี่คนที่เขาจะรับ ที่ฉันเป็นได้ทุกสิ่ง
มองเห็นความสำคัญ จับมือกอดฉันด้วยความเต็มใจ
จะยอมให้ทุกทุกสิ่ง ที่ตัวฉันมี
จะไม่ทำให้เค้าผิดหวังเลยสักครั้ง

:: w00t ::
long time no come online~! so many emails! *argh! flooded ah!!
hmm.. abt work, so far so good la. experienced a few days of stress when there are deadlines, n even when there weren't things to do, there was stress too because boss is always in the office n i somehow get the feeling that he's watching silently.. =S
sat was cool. had cell grp, then went for dinner at lavender food centre. hate to wait for seats. food is ok only. got a lift from brandon home. really grateful but i think i forgot to express it.
sun tried to wake up early for prayer meeting, but my dad is working, so i had to go church with my mom. she doesn't want to go early. so we compromise, try to reach at 9.30am. Sermon v short, taken from Hebrews 12:1-2. i wonder what u can talk about 2 verses. had lunch with cell grp at Harbourfront. haha. met Nissi there. when we've moved to Potong Pasir, we come back to Harbourfront for lunch. lol.
went back home to sleep for an hr until judy called. she was at my door already. i was still v sleepy. not long later sweeyi n cheryl arrived. i took out my new boardgame to play (yay!) played 2 rounds then they sian liao. played blackjack using mahjong chips. then we went out for dinner. cheryl drove us to night safari bongo, where we all used to work. haha.. it was cool man, like girls outing to clubs. but she was quite upset cuz of the scratches she got on the car, which belongs to her boyfriend. n at night safari we wanted to go car park, but we went in the wrong area. we kinda bumped into the barrier n the unfriendly cisco came to us n told us we need to pay $200 if they checked that the barrier is broken. that really blasted our day man. cheryl was really upset, so judy n i thought of giving her a treat. but anyway we had a great dinner. met up with some of their friends (i only worked 2 days so i dunno everyone). had ben & jerry's ice cream. hehe~
sweeyi had to go home so cheryl sent her home. then at 11+pm judy's friend came. we went to bukit timah, al ahmeen to meet jeremy n the rest. i remembered the place wrongly. but anyway it was great to have judy meet my cell grp n some other church friends. around 1+am we took cars to jeremy's house. it was probably our last chance to hang out at Kismis Ave cuz he's shifting soon. was having headache already. anyway.. World cup finals started at 2am... i betted France-Italy draw at half-time n 2-0 at full-time. i was still qualified after half-time, but confirm lost at the end. still, i got chance to win if i got the closest bet.
i was quite upset when i watched Zidane got red card. cuz apparently the italian guy said something that made him angry n told him to say that again. He repeated what he said n pissed Zidane off. i was like... "awwwwww...." at that part.. everyone who supported italy at first, felt sorry for him. i was really tired but kinda woke up in shock at that part.
went to slp in jeremy's room. i thought there were more pple staying, but they went off after watching soccer. i can't go home la. cuz i already planned to stay n i have no transport home. anyway. set alarm to wake up 1 hr later, but i slept till 8.20am. i was like "okay, 10 min to work..." when i woke up. jeremy's mom was v nice to prepare breakfast for me. but i was rushing. took cab to work though sweeyi already warned me abt the raise in cab fare. bo bian la~
so that whole day was just bad for me. but anyway, met up with Grace for lunch.. hehe long time nv see her. went home to sleep, wanted to wake up at 9pm, to bathe n eat something, but i actually slept thru till the next morning! tue was bad too, i had headache that whole day. but better than monday. was in time for work so it was okay. was lonely for lunch cuz my colleague is not in office. went to bangkok. bought bread n tuna for lunch n dinner n breakfast. went home straight after work, but didn't sleep immediately like monday.
praise God that after praying, my headache subsided. my colleague is back from bangkok.. yay~ weiting came to find me.. yay passed her the invitation to my church concert. hope to c u there!! can sit together since i'm not performing. after work walked to chinatown to buy shampoo n hair moisturiser (benefit of working in chinatown area - cheap toiletries!!) then took train to dhoby ghaut Trumpet Praise. selected books n cds with esther n shirley. had dinner at the food court then went home.
then today lunch was bad. tried the fish slice bee hoon at a fish head steamboat stall.. it was BAD!! (my colleague thought it was good though) i dun like the rough bee hoon (i like chu mi fen, but not ROUGH one - low quality to me. we had a lot of visitors today. Val came to visit me with raw documents from clients. then Ben n 1 guy - namecard printer came with my namecards n egg tarts. (one of them's cute ;P - i dunno which is ben) the char siew puff tasted sour n like vegetarian one.. >.< after work went to church (often meet Serene on the train) for MCG meeting.. met Gail for dinner at coffeeshop opp indian temple. i didn't find the meeting fruitful leh~ my personal objectives were not met. i wanted to find out how MCG functions, how often is the meetup, what projects are we/they taking, what's the next big thing, who's in charge of what etc.
anyway, i'm still sad for Zidane. =(

had a meeting with kelvin, jeremy, guorong and joshua cheng. after that went home to nap for a while before going to the airport to send my sis off. we had Ajisen ramen n i treated. this is the last time i'm gonna eat at Ajisen.
after i reached home, i rested for a while before going to chihiro's house to celebrate her "21st bday". -- no one knows her real bday actually. she gave herself one in dec.
3/7 monday after work went to Holland V to meet bec, kwek, yun n belly. supposed to meet at PS, but change of plans. good thing they told me quite early enough. it's quite convenient to get there from my workplace but not convenient to get home.. =S
we had dinner at Crystal Jade La Mian n Xiaolongbao.. it was good.. 5 of us shared 3 bowls of noodles, 2 servings of xiaolongbao n 2 dessert.. we all felt VERY full after that! they got me a boardgame.. YAY, thanks! they asked me if i got Cluedo at first, then i requested for other boardgames.. cuz really, if i say i have cluedo at home, would anyone be interested to come all the way to my place to play? it'd only collect dust~
tue went for prayer meeting after work. i think God bless me with such a wonderful workplace i have no excuse to not go tuesday prayer meetings. i mean, church is on the way home la~ LOL. met Fay on the way, yay. =P got someone to sit n pray with.. there were Evelyn n Joshua too.
i think the worship is also very spirit-led. we sang the song 'Everyday', which i led at cell grp.. i dun mean to "boast" la.. but it feels good to have things that happen so coincidentally that you KNOW God is at work.
wed supposed to meet Chihiro to buy shoes for her as her bday present, but she forgot abt it. so anyway thomas ask me wanna hang out or not.. but i was quite reluctant becuz i wanted to shop for a pair of pants to wear the next day.. saw a nice one but felt that $27 is too ex.. others $18-$22 was reasonable price but not nice.. haha shirley called me while i was trying on the clothes..
after that thru some communication finally decided to meet lin feng n thomas.. go Alleybar.. had this thing called Magnum n tried a sip of Stella Artois n calamari.. yummy~! toopid thomas made me quite pissed. over what i forgot already. left around 10pm.. on my way out the door i really felt seh.. saw that my face was flushed.. anyway, at dhoby ghaut i saw vincent n gabriel.. haha.. they must have guessed that i went drinking.. i think i reek of alcohol..
thur went home straight after work. tired la.. wanted to slp early.
friday went to Chihiro's workplace to meet her.. went to Far East plaza with her.. had Subway for dinner since she got coupon, but also, this will be the last time i'm eating at Subway (in fact i told myself that the last time) if not for the coupon i wouldn't eat there. took neoprint with her.. :P
well quick one: for last week there was one day my boss brought Juliana n i to far east plaza for lunch.. at the nan-something japanese yakitori restaurant. yummy~! thurs we went to telok blangah market for lunch. wow my boss drive a Merz... i really think it's good stuff.
then nothing much except that my sis came back for a holiday.. didn't get to spend much time with her cuz thur i had sectional training in church n friday went out with not-so-Singles' Club. brought them to Spizza in Club St.. my treat since i got my pay already.. =D
sat had cell grp n worship prac.. i led worship in cell grp but i really felt that God is the one moving in the place. i taught them a hokkien song, to kinda intro the worship in the church in tanjung balai.
i felt bad tt i was late on sunday morning. kept snoozing my alarm clocks.. it was quite a special service becuz towards the end everyone took a group photo. the whole congregation... imagine that! =)

haha finally got time to update.. hmm.. start from friday? Boss went to Germany to watch the world cup live.. cool~ yeah on thur n fri he was not in, so juliana and i r able to relax a bit. we packed up and dusted the office.. =P i'm not saying we were idle because boss was not in okay, i even did OT on thurs to finish my work k. but fri got lotsa stuff so i gotta leave on time. thank God there were no last minute instructions.
wanted to: go to China Sq Central Acts Lifestyle bookshop to buy nice pass it on cards. then go to far east plaza Crest to pick up books and cds with esther, then go to Queenstown for SonicFest. but i couldn't make it for the last plan. had dinner with esther. thanks esther for the treat!! cuz i didn't have cash.. was about to ask to borrow money from her. we went to Pepper Lunch. i was v impressed with the system (cuz it's Jap) and the food. hehe.. i knew i couldn't eat a lot so i didn't order the double hamburger steak or combo. esther even bought a slice of cake for me.. Blackforest.. hehe.. this month i really gained alot of weight. eat too much cakes. jialat.
reached home close to 11pm.. still gotta work on the design for harvest event invites/posters. did till 3am then went to slp.
sat woke up real early to go harbourfront. my mom really v impatient that day, n i felt quite pissed. we were meeting the rest at 8.15am. n we left home earlier than 7am. she was really worried abt missing the ferry sia. there were 8 of us going to batam, Rachael Soh n her mom (a frequent traveller to batam), Cristal and her mom (the organiser of the trip), her god-grandma n uncle. i was really excited cuz i have no impression of batam at all. wonder how the place looks like.
when we reached we found our driver, A-dong, who will bring us around the whole day. our first stop was Kuta massage parlour. dunno which massage i did.. haha.. but shld be oil massage. Cristal was beside me.. haha we were all v shy abt taking off our clothes.. haha.. not used to it.. we had a bone-cracking good time. i managed to communicate a little in Bahasa Indonesia with my masseur. then we went downstairs, after 2 hours, to drink ginger tea. it was very spicy but i think good for health ba.
then we went to eat lunch. ordered a lot of food. haha.. after lunch we went to the hair salon. i already wanted to perm my hair for v long time. cheap cheap!! 225000 Rp nia~ had my hair washed by a guy. hehe.. felt not bad.. ;) saw a real sissy. another hairdresser. he had mascara n eyeshadow n blusher on la. my hairdresser really slow sia. or maybe he wanted to ensure quality so he took his time.. *shrugs* i was the last to finish doing hair la. Cristal and my mom did treatment and massage. Aunty Juliet coloured her hair. i wasn't really pleased with how my hair turned out la.
went shopping at BCS. it was big but nothing much. got a lot of shops selling trendy clothes, but my mom didn't give me money.. =( walked around with Cristal and Rachael. we were most thrilled at the supermarket (at least i was). haha.. i was excited looking at the packaging design of food. bought a lot of snacks back.. =P went for dinner at a food centre. it was good. but we didn't have a lot of time. gotta catch the last ferry back.
reached home at 12am. didn't realise that our 8.45pm (indo time) ferry is actually v late.
sunday went to church for reflective service. hehe shocked a lot of pple with my new hairstyle. it was indeed v risky.. cuz i wasn't sure if the hairdresser understood wad i wanted. Thanks Jac for the present! got baking tools as my birthday present. hehe.. we sang a lot of hymns at the service. i didn't know most of them. didn't really feel reflective. felt religious instead.
there was Psalmist Resource Corner today. i think sales is not bad la. but we had to pack v early cuz the table was to be returned with the music n sound equipment. had lunch with esther at the kopitiam opp the indian temple. ate dim sum.. =P
went to boon keng to look for SKP. a plastic bag shop. cool~ didn't know abt it. then went to Crest to return the stuff. it was settled v quickly. after that went home to slp. good thing i took that nap cuz tt night i stayed up till v late.. quite caught in between. on one hand i wanna do the design for the invites well, on the other hand i was v worried abt going late for work. after all it's only the start of my 2nd week..
but thank God i didn't wake up late. but felt like today v few pple going to work. hmm.. it was quite an eventful journey. ok la not really. just that one lady fainted on the train at farrer park station and caused a 3 minute delay. but thank God i am still early and able to stroll slowly to the office. brought a lot of snacks from Batam for my boss n colleague.

:: disappointed ::
hmm.. briefly abt the Family Camp.. the guest speaker was v humorous, seemed to have thought very long abt his message to make sure it is injected with humour at every 5 min interval.
meals, according to elizabeth, is sucky. but to me it's alright. but i won't go for 2nd helping (most of the time).
went out to Jusco.. me n shiqi were rushing like mad cuz we only had 2 hours for the whole shopping centre, becuz we wanted to go pasar malam after that. had to make arrangements with the bus la. i kinda caused some worry cuz i didn't know there were 2 buses going to pasar malam, thought only 1. so i got into the wrong bus n had the other bus' IC looking for me. sigh. bought a lot of food that i couldn't finish.. sigh.
went out to A&W. i asked the concierge to arrange transport. i wanted to go somewhere else so i told them we don't need transport back. got a few pple pissed with me. feel quite sad.. they didn't console me when i apologised also.. sigh.
ate a lot of cakes the whole trip. played Blind man bluff on the last night. skipped 2 finale sessions n got smacked on the bottom by wee lee.. *ouch*
hmm.. then abt my week at work it was okay. had been having lunch with my colleague Juliana everyday. today had dim sum.. heh.
i was late today n i felt v bad abt it. my dad's bike almost toppled over n ran over my foot. thank God it didn't happen. i thought going by motorbike will be faster than LRT, MRT, n walking. ended up super late. disappointed with myself.
toward the end of the day i had a client who wanted to rush out a design n by 5.30pm i knew it was impossible, but i tried anyway. worked till 7+pm, the client's client went home already so it was useless. wanted to go Acts Lifestyle before it closes at 8pm but i realise i couldn't. i was still at outram at 7.45pm. disappointed again, i went home.

:: fri - sun update ::
wait, let me continue from friday abt wad's been happening so far:
went to hougang in the morning (11am - that's morning to me) =P with my mom for brunch. just walked around, nothing much.. went back home in the afternoon around 3+ i think.. relax a while, then asked my dad to drive me to expo.. there's this GoFest in Asia.. it's really cool. sort of like a missions conference thing, then in the evening there will be worship free admission every night. last yr also have, but i didn't go.. this time i went with Faith, Jianxiong and Akouo girls.. i had dinner with them at the food court la.. was really excited abt buying things from the booth.
then it was soon time to start. Joseph Chien was there. then we all worshipped together. most of the songs were unfamiliar to me n a bit hard to pick up. the time of testimony was good though, a cambodian sharing abt the salvation of his village. and message was very good. a simple passage abt Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman, has deep significance. all the 12 disciples went off to buy food, but Jesus stayed behind and had a purpose. in talking to the woman, she believed, and went to tell the whole town abt this Jesus. all the 12 disciples missed the show because they were too concerned abt their physical needs. in terms of missions, this is a good lesson to learn.
after that before we left i went to various booths to check out abt missions. bought 7 pieces of pass-it-on cards. hope to buy more another time. also bought a pair of earrings for 50¢.
went for supper at Changi Village with faith n jx... Nasi Lemak!! =P then we went to Fisherman Village.. i wasn't really allowed to stay out late... =P supposed to go home n pack my bag for the next day.. but we found somewhere to watch soccer over heineken. had a close brush with xiaoqiang.. it was v funny la.. they were laughing at my reaction to it. we chatted until abt 1+am i think.. after soccer la.. then i went home n packed my bag. got scolded by my mom cuz she was awake when i reached home. slept a while so v tired.
ya i was packing my bag for tanjung balai with my parents' cell grp. when we reached harbourfront we were quite late for breakfast. was quite easily pissed due to my lack of sleep.. but i was glad to see the Feetwashers like Jane, Pricy, Cleon, Dally... kinda was a leader for them when they in pri 2.. can still rem them..
(kinda tired and lazy to describe already)
ok brush through quickly: did visitations to 7 homes in tanjung balai, my team had a doctor, so we followed along as she did blood pressure tests and talk to the pple. most of the pple there r sick n poor to see doctors. had bak kut teh for lunch. at the last home we went to, i was running low on energy n i was not in the conversation at all. walked back to hotel to rest. woke up for dinner at the restaurant next door. the main dish was crab.. =P had ice cream n beer too.. after dinner walked to a cool cafe for tea.. that cafe is really so NOT tanjung balai la! very well lit, very modern furnishings, even i like it!
after dinner went to a minimart to buy sweets n instant noodles then went back to hotel to watch soccer. gotta thank God for good weather cuz it only rained when we were indoors!
sunday woke up around 8+am for breakfast downstairs. had 4 eggs.. =P went back to room to pack up n check out. waited for instructions... then went to church.
i didn't go visitation but stayed with the Feetwashers to conduct Sunday School. we gave out lotsa snacks and drinks to the kids. Daniel played a game of blind man's bluff with them. we went to eat orh mee for lunch n it was pouring heavily. was quite drenched.
i went to the back door n watched the rain n saw a cat searching for something in the grasses.. then i saw it carry something in its mouth. i thought it was a prize - a mouse.
but when i looked carefully i realised - it was a kitten!!! i ran to the front door of the church to find it. then i saw a poor little thing inside a snack packet.
n i asked bena to bring me an umbrella to look for its mommy n sibling. i was sure this was not the one i saw.
anyway i was quite occupied worrying abt the kitten, its safety, its hunger, etc.. but i joined in worship when the service started. n uncle john (john sim) preached. it was a short story actually, but phei phei had to translate it phrase by phrase. it became quite xin ku to listen. but it was still good la. then it was time to go back to singapore. wanted to go for camp when i came back, but after dinner it was already 9+pm. so i went home to pack my bag instead.
went to hougang in the morning (11am - that's morning to me) =P with my mom for brunch. just walked around, nothing much.. went back home in the afternoon around 3+ i think.. relax a while, then asked my dad to drive me to expo.. there's this GoFest in Asia.. it's really cool. sort of like a missions conference thing, then in the evening there will be worship free admission every night. last yr also have, but i didn't go.. this time i went with Faith, Jianxiong and Akouo girls.. i had dinner with them at the food court la.. was really excited abt buying things from the booth.
then it was soon time to start. Joseph Chien was there. then we all worshipped together. most of the songs were unfamiliar to me n a bit hard to pick up. the time of testimony was good though, a cambodian sharing abt the salvation of his village. and message was very good. a simple passage abt Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman, has deep significance. all the 12 disciples went off to buy food, but Jesus stayed behind and had a purpose. in talking to the woman, she believed, and went to tell the whole town abt this Jesus. all the 12 disciples missed the show because they were too concerned abt their physical needs. in terms of missions, this is a good lesson to learn.
after that before we left i went to various booths to check out abt missions. bought 7 pieces of pass-it-on cards. hope to buy more another time. also bought a pair of earrings for 50¢.
went for supper at Changi Village with faith n jx... Nasi Lemak!! =P then we went to Fisherman Village.. i wasn't really allowed to stay out late... =P supposed to go home n pack my bag for the next day.. but we found somewhere to watch soccer over heineken. had a close brush with xiaoqiang.. it was v funny la.. they were laughing at my reaction to it. we chatted until abt 1+am i think.. after soccer la.. then i went home n packed my bag. got scolded by my mom cuz she was awake when i reached home. slept a while so v tired.
ya i was packing my bag for tanjung balai with my parents' cell grp. when we reached harbourfront we were quite late for breakfast. was quite easily pissed due to my lack of sleep.. but i was glad to see the Feetwashers like Jane, Pricy, Cleon, Dally... kinda was a leader for them when they in pri 2.. can still rem them..
(kinda tired and lazy to describe already)
ok brush through quickly: did visitations to 7 homes in tanjung balai, my team had a doctor, so we followed along as she did blood pressure tests and talk to the pple. most of the pple there r sick n poor to see doctors. had bak kut teh for lunch. at the last home we went to, i was running low on energy n i was not in the conversation at all. walked back to hotel to rest. woke up for dinner at the restaurant next door. the main dish was crab.. =P had ice cream n beer too.. after dinner walked to a cool cafe for tea.. that cafe is really so NOT tanjung balai la! very well lit, very modern furnishings, even i like it!
after dinner went to a minimart to buy sweets n instant noodles then went back to hotel to watch soccer. gotta thank God for good weather cuz it only rained when we were indoors!
sunday woke up around 8+am for breakfast downstairs. had 4 eggs.. =P went back to room to pack up n check out. waited for instructions... then went to church.
i didn't go visitation but stayed with the Feetwashers to conduct Sunday School. we gave out lotsa snacks and drinks to the kids. Daniel played a game of blind man's bluff with them. we went to eat orh mee for lunch n it was pouring heavily. was quite drenched.
i went to the back door n watched the rain n saw a cat searching for something in the grasses.. then i saw it carry something in its mouth. i thought it was a prize - a mouse.
but when i looked carefully i realised - it was a kitten!!! i ran to the front door of the church to find it. then i saw a poor little thing inside a snack packet.
n i asked bena to bring me an umbrella to look for its mommy n sibling. i was sure this was not the one i saw.

:: baking session ::
haha wed was happening for me too... reached home around 11+am.. emailed a company that i am accepting the job offer.. i shld have called up the bishan company but i still didn't :P oops..
and i am officially starting work on the 19th!! =)
did nothing the whole afternoon.. rested a while.. then sweeyi came around 5pm. she told me to meet judy at orchard but i was reluctant.. was thinking of eating crabs at my house downstairs.. n play mahjong.. =P but peilin couldn't come.. sigh.. oh yah she came with an electric oven.. my birthday present in advance :P
then she finally told me tt we r meeting 2 other pple besides judy, one vietnamese guy, one thai guy. n it was a matchmaking session for me. then i started to get ready to go out.. :P
on the train she told me tt i noe the 2 guys. so they weren't vietnamese or thai afterall. (sigh) n i guessed one of them is ian. when we reached dhoby ghaut she heard that the other guy wasn't coming.. hmm. so insincere lor.. haha =x
went to cineleisure pastamania to find judy - AND IAN. haha.. they got a coffee bean cheesecake for me n we shared. it was nice.. =) we ordered banana dessert pizza and combos. our pizza turned out to be ham & mushroom pizza... it was a mistake la.. but we accepted it n started eating already. so when the REAL banana pizza came we all looked quite guilty. :P
after dinner ian left. so judy sweeyi n i went upstairs to watch trailers. judy wanted to play shooting game at the arcade, but no one to play with.. around 9.30pm sweeyi wanted to go home.. so we left.
today i didn't go out much.. spent time with my mom at home. watched The Pianist.. man it's a very sad movie.. makes me Thank God i wasn't born in that era, in that country. the soldiers were as cruel as wad i know abt the japanese occupation. going into pple's homes and drag them out into the streets, line them up n shoot them all. there was a baby who kept crying and its mother had to smother it when the soldiers came to find pple to torture. i just thought that the title of the movie shld be The Jewish Pianist instead of just The Pianist cuz the part abt him being a pianist is only altogether abt 10 min? the part abt him running and hiding becuz he is a Jew is most part of the story.
had dinner with my mom too. then we shopped for baking ingredients and accessories. haha went home to bake choc chip cookies.. turned out to be chau tar.. i was very pissed when my dad threw away my 1st batch of cookies and started to put the 2nd batch to bake without telling me. i mean i was outside the kitchen when he did that. we always quarrelled whenever i try to cook or bake. he's a cook himself, yet he doesn't teach me anything. n when i try to cook something on my own, he always criticises my method. so i ask him to help me, he said if he help me i wun learn anything. wah this makes me blow up man.
anyway. 3rd batch was nice. but my cookies turned out to be pancakes. too soft.. sigh. then my dad started to mix ingredients to make his own batch of cookies.. not bad la but i wasn't interested to eat anymore. my mom laughed becuz my dad became interested in baking too.
i'm gonna make cheesecake for my own birthday. =)
oh yah forgot to mention ....my dad picked up a palmtop!! it was discarded among other things like bags, jeans etc... it was a old model, m100.. we replaced the batteries and IT'S WORKING FINE!! =D i've got a palmtop, finally!! so i did research on it n realised i'm actually v outdated abt PDA stuff.. haha.. i need to buy the direct serial cable for it.. anyone knows where i can get it?

:: tj balai #14 ::
hmm this trip is really a blessing. had 3 newcomers from Praise to join the "seasoned" trippers like Persis, Joseph, Elisa n myself. Joel, Adeline n Hiong Yee.
Joel has been v blessed and has quite a few testimonies to share with us abt things that happened in his life recently, n things he felt during the trip. even my namecard added on to his testimony because of the bible verse on it. hehe.. i wanted Wiky to keep one but i got not enough. hmm.. next week i'll give him one. feel so bad tt he looked quite curious but didn't get to show him..
Ai Mei talked to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wah so happy! she's really a very special child.. dedicated to God.. from young she already know how she is not to eat food offered to idols. but the intriguing thing abt her is from young she is VERY antisocial. not shy. but antisocial. she frowns when pple try to talk to her, makes noise when pple try to carry her.. but... she's opening up liao ba.. so happy to be able to hear her speak to me! hehe.. suddenly i want to become her godmother.. she only speaks n understands teochew... but all i asked is, "ma ma leh?" then she pointed out to her mom. "pa pa leh?" she replied very softly n reluctantly, "singapore." =D
then during sunday school i teach art n craft again.. i like teaching art n craft. this time we separated the boys and girls n i taught the girls to make handmade earrings. i gave them a pair of eyepins and choose their combination of beads from my collection n when they were ready i would use the long nose pliers to make a hoop with the hook. Bena made a lot.. i wondered how to spell her name cuz she took the bead with the letter F, i asked her y she chose F, then she said her name is Fena ma, so F lor. i blur liao. she made a lot of earrings using the number beads.. i a bit regret letting her do so cuz Wiky's mom wanted a pair but dun have the hooks anymore..
n i discovered that Shanti's grandma is called Liqing. n Caiyun n Cailing are twins.... probably everyone else knows already.. but i dunno hokkien ma.. so when they talked abt it i probably dun understand. but nvm, learning "new" thing is still good.
Adeline keeps saying that i remind her of my sis.. haha.. mannerism, build.. but then she also notices the difference.. haha u wanna know? ask her urself la.. she's going to Phuket next week..
bought 3 tempes n 3 pisang gorengs.... ate them all by myself cuz it's too fried n unhealthy.... everyone else dun wan.. haha.. fat liao.. hmm.. i feel that Wiky n me.. not so close anymore.. sigh.

:: thoughts ::
went for 4 interviews for the past week.. God's blessing... i sent out resumes on monday afternoon n i received 3 replies on tue. so i went for interview on wed, thur n fri. i kept a journal on how each interview went.. so i'm not gonna reveal anything much here.. dun wanna get sued for certain comments.. haha
borrowed Angels and Demons, a book from Diana.. finished it within a week.. i dun usually read so fast. but it was the pace of the storyline that kept me reading. it's abt a timebomb that would go off in 24 hours n that thick thick book is all abt what happened in less than that 24 hours n a little after. i wasn't really convinced that time passed by that slowly as according to the book.
from that book i started to become curious about Catholic beliefs and history. ok i can't say too much also. i dun wanna get sued for any comment.
but no matter what pple say about Christianity, i still hold fast to my faith. i still believe that the creator of the universe is God, n science is just a way of getting closer to the mysteries of God.
today during cell grp i felt it was a good time of ministry. a lot of thoughts came to my mind, to remind me of things i've neglected. the verse "Let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and 'No' be 'No'" came to me before Amos shared about it in word. felt that i haven't been truthful to even myself. there were lots of times when i wanted to say no, but i decided to say yes instead. n vice versa. i need to be more firm.
n the verse 'Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.' makes me think of Catholics again.. a neutral comment >> i feel that they talk alot about angels. i walked into a Catholic bookstore yday n saw a lot of pictures/models of angels.. n i feel that the pure in heart is referring to angels. i may be wrong, but this is just what came to my mind when i read the verse la.
hmm.. basically that's it.... hope my sister will pamper me when she's back ;)

:: nightmares ::
oh yah, forgot which days, but there was 1 day i had 2 nightmares. i think shld be last sunday la.. i took an afternoon nap.. then i dreamt tt i was taking LRT with sweeyi.. then met 2 pple who bumped into each other on the way in n were not happy. after that on the way back took LRT again n met the same 2 pple.. this time they pushed each other.. the lrt stopped halfway at the platform and one of the doors opened to the tracks. i was at that door n sweeyi quickly jumped off the lrt but i was struggling cuz i have the fear of heights n there were a lot of things on my hands. managed to jump off finally but had to struggle again to climb up to the platform. it was a narrow path n if i'm not careful i might fall back to the tracks. the whole nightmare is just the struggle to get to safety.
then that night i dreamt of myself eating tissue paper.. forgot who there were but i was in a rundown building.. eating steamboat.. but instead of food, i was eating packets of tissue paper.. the next morning i woke up at 7am i felt like vomiting.

:: not so satisfying week ::
sat
went to watch the Da Vinci Code with the church, at cineleisure.. i think it's the first time we have such a thing? met at Friends of Galilee. there were free food.. =P the movie was kind of weird. full of half truths. i was quite amazed at how they manage to find the churches/cathedrals to film. to fit in the story. n i felt quite weird when i saw the part of the pagan worship. didn't realise the influence was so great. nvm if u dunno wad i'm talking abt.. i dunno how to explain also.
had dinner at scott's food court. bought a cake for amos' birthday.
monday
was looking forward to going for interview at Vivonne's workplace.. but she called to say the interview is on wed.
hoped that Media Freaks would call me for a second interview. Jac suggested i email them to show my sincerity in wanting to work for them but i held back. if it's meant to be then it's meant to be, u know? maybe that's not the place God is calling me to anyway.
went for lunch with Audrey.. it's good to catch up with her once in a while. she treated me to pastamania at harbourfront. hehe.. finally got to try the dessert, but i dun like.
she could only come out during her lunch hour. so after that i called sweeyi to come out. went to take bus 143, passed by Malan Rd, passed by Clementi West Street 2, passed by Pandan Gardens. reminisce.
went to JE.. IMM Daiso!!! i only had $14? i think? so i told myself dun get tempted easily. but i tell u i feel that Daiso got this..... something 'evil' abt it. when i'm in there i feel like everything is useful/nice/worth buying.. then when i buy something home i dunno what i can use it for. Evil! bought a namecard holder, nail art accessory, green tea flavoured caramel corn, n instant rice (took me v long to rem this one).
had dinner at the HK cafe outside Daiso. just had yuan yang and yuan yang dessert. took the shuttle bus back to JE interchange then took mrt to woodlands. then took bus to sengkang, n asked my dad to fetch me home from there.
tue
i think i stayed at home.
wed
woke up quite late.. went to chinatown for interview. i was late so i think i didn't give the interviewer a good impression. sigh. he was quite stern. n commented that i should have presented my design concepts instead of just presenting my works. out of the 3 interviews i went this one was v particular about presentation. so i was quite turned off. honestly. when the other guy asked me whether we have any questions about the company, my mind only had one thing.
walked to pearl centre for lunch. had chicken chop spaghetti. $5.50 sia. officially broke for the week. n it's only tue. had to even borrow from sweeyi to have dessert.. (u must be thinking, what crap is this? broke then dun eat la.. but.. i'm like that la.)
chatted for a long time. n after that stood outside and chatted for a long time. haha.. then went home. parents had cell grp so no one at home till late.
thur
stayed home n packed my room.. haha.. now my floor has one less pile of stuff. happy~
went to rivervale mall for dinner. ate at Sukura. there was promotion ma.. $15 total.
fri
wanted to revamp my website so that it is 'worthy' enough for me to show companies what i can do for web design. halfway chihiro called to ask me if i'm free to watch movie. her colleague booked ticket for the wrong day so she quickly called me to take her place. managed to get sweeyi n ian. then went to chinatown to pick up the tickets. thought i had plenty of time till i reached punggol mrt then i realise i'm not v early. rushed at chinatown, until my legs cramp. haha.. got the tickets n rushed to PS.. david came to buy an extra ticket but v suay, didn't get the same theatre as us. so weird, PS actually screen so many X-Men 3 at the same time in diff theatres.
i was quite sad at how the story turned out. so many main characters died. n my fav x-man, Cyclops, didn't look as handsome as before.. =( i just dun like an ending where my fav pple die.
had dinner at foodcourt. got money from ian cuz i lent him last week so i finally got money!! *dances around*
i just realise i missed my kor's birthday last friday.. =( so sorry!
sat
had brunch with my mom at kadaloor. u ask, where the heck is that? i answer, in punggol lor.
went for cell grp. i suddenly rem that worship prac no longer starts at 7pm, so i realise i could not make it for cat's birthday party at 5pm. sigh~
i think everyone feels that everyone is off-form for practice today. let's make it good tmr!
had dinner with the remaining pple (sound + psalmist) at potong pasir. had murtabak.. $5.. ouch..
i have $20 left for next week. OUCH.
went to watch the Da Vinci Code with the church, at cineleisure.. i think it's the first time we have such a thing? met at Friends of Galilee. there were free food.. =P the movie was kind of weird. full of half truths. i was quite amazed at how they manage to find the churches/cathedrals to film. to fit in the story. n i felt quite weird when i saw the part of the pagan worship. didn't realise the influence was so great. nvm if u dunno wad i'm talking abt.. i dunno how to explain also.
had dinner at scott's food court. bought a cake for amos' birthday.
monday
was looking forward to going for interview at Vivonne's workplace.. but she called to say the interview is on wed.
hoped that Media Freaks would call me for a second interview. Jac suggested i email them to show my sincerity in wanting to work for them but i held back. if it's meant to be then it's meant to be, u know? maybe that's not the place God is calling me to anyway.
went for lunch with Audrey.. it's good to catch up with her once in a while. she treated me to pastamania at harbourfront. hehe.. finally got to try the dessert, but i dun like.
she could only come out during her lunch hour. so after that i called sweeyi to come out. went to take bus 143, passed by Malan Rd, passed by Clementi West Street 2, passed by Pandan Gardens. reminisce.
went to JE.. IMM Daiso!!! i only had $14? i think? so i told myself dun get tempted easily. but i tell u i feel that Daiso got this..... something 'evil' abt it. when i'm in there i feel like everything is useful/nice/worth buying.. then when i buy something home i dunno what i can use it for. Evil! bought a namecard holder, nail art accessory, green tea flavoured caramel corn, n instant rice (took me v long to rem this one).
had dinner at the HK cafe outside Daiso. just had yuan yang and yuan yang dessert. took the shuttle bus back to JE interchange then took mrt to woodlands. then took bus to sengkang, n asked my dad to fetch me home from there.
tue
i think i stayed at home.
wed
woke up quite late.. went to chinatown for interview. i was late so i think i didn't give the interviewer a good impression. sigh. he was quite stern. n commented that i should have presented my design concepts instead of just presenting my works. out of the 3 interviews i went this one was v particular about presentation. so i was quite turned off. honestly. when the other guy asked me whether we have any questions about the company, my mind only had one thing.
walked to pearl centre for lunch. had chicken chop spaghetti. $5.50 sia. officially broke for the week. n it's only tue. had to even borrow from sweeyi to have dessert.. (u must be thinking, what crap is this? broke then dun eat la.. but.. i'm like that la.)
chatted for a long time. n after that stood outside and chatted for a long time. haha.. then went home. parents had cell grp so no one at home till late.
thur
stayed home n packed my room.. haha.. now my floor has one less pile of stuff. happy~
went to rivervale mall for dinner. ate at Sukura. there was promotion ma.. $15 total.

:: wahseh ::
hehe so long no update...
hmm.. i think i will have lots to say.. hmm.. where to begin..? ohh.. okok
sat.. went to Tanjung Balai, sick, have to pray v hard that the pollution there will not make me feel worse n that i will not spread my germs to the children there. this trip, honestly, not as enjoyable as all the previous trips. firstly becuz we did not sleep in aircon room this time.. i shldn't complain when it had been a kind offer for us to stay at uncle Asun's place. but tt night i had LOTSA mosquito bites n i felt like my blood is getting poisoned n i would die. secondly his wife did not cook dinner for us this time. maybe i just expected too much? n Wiky didn't stay with us to chat.. their new comp had no sound n i managed to fix the problem, but he was not around........ HE WENT TO FIND ADRIANO WITHOUT BRINGING US ALONG!!! yes the campus superstar Adriano!!!!!!
n i felt like i didn't do much, like when there's things to carry i notice i didn't help. so selfish! then on sunday my runny nose made me feel worse, on top of my mosquito bites. sigh. taught the children art n craft as usual, (i think that's my permanent job there, i hope~) but it wasn't as fun as the previous trip one. gotta confess that i thought of it only on friday so i didn't have time to get the materials. ended up just drawing n cutting. quite boring. at the end of sunday school i gave the girls earrings i bought from phuket long long time ago. i'm kinda clearing stock from my room.
came back earlier than usual to celebrate mother's day. i realise i forgot to appreciate my godma.. oopssss.... my parents were waiting for me at harbourfront.. 1st time they fetch me from my trip. had dinner at noodle hut..
monday i was supposed to send gail off for her mission trip, but i overslept.. sigh.. slept late last night ma, dun even rem what i did. so i went for a job interview at chinatown point at 2pm.. felt quite discouraged cuz they were looking for interactive designer (which i'm supposed to be), but my actionscript skill is lousy. felt that my website is not interactive enough. after that walked to suntec to meet sweeyi. shared with her a bowl of fish slice beehoon n vitamilk from carrefour. walked around till i was tired. on my way home michael they all managed to psycho me to go nic's hse to play mahjong. but i went home to bathe first.. still need to purge the poison from my skin. reached nic's place at 10.45pm. played all the way till the next morning at 10am. wahaha.. had a break at 3am.. went to eat roti prata.. haha..
