countdown
[edited at 6.57pm]Just visted Cheng Huat's blog. Recently, it's plagued with some really bo liaoz people. I remember having one such person visiting my blog too. Such people like to leave filthy messages on the tagboard.
As the saying goes "An idle mind is a devil's workshop", this is totally true for such people. Perhaps they should do themselves a favour by finding something better to do *the ultimate being to sleep...hehe* than getting involved in such childish acts.
I received a rude shock. Somebody used my name to tag on his tagboard. Like GET A LIFE MANZ. Have the freakin guts to use your own name ok. *rolls eyes*
Needless to say, Cheng Huat is locking up his blog. Why manz? Why do you people have to force others into such measures? Why do your sick minds gain pleasure in seeing others suffer?

In less than 24 hours, the term break will end. Back to school. To the land of projects and routined lives. SADDDDD...
I neither feel happy nor sad.

lost innocence
Shall share my childhood memories after reading Xiu Wei's blog...hehe...topic of the day on her blog. Shall add my 2 cents worth...- Had very little hair when I was a baby, even till 1 year old. Mum got worried as she thought it ugly for a girl.
- I seem to have a memory gap coz I can't remember stuff before. My memory seems to go back only till 5 years old. Even now, things are starting to get a little hazy. Dad used to kid that I was kidnapped by an alien during that period thus my failure of recollection of memories during that period.
- Since both my parents work, Sis and I were looked after by a nanny till I went to Secondary school. My 2nd home. My playmates were her grandchildren.
- Enjoyed the weekly visits to the kopitiam in the morning with uncle *nanny's husband*. Sis and I always shared a cup of kopi-o. She drank from the cup while I drank from the saucer.
- Loved my kindergarten days. So carefree. Loved the tau hway. Actually I loved the sweet soup better than the tau hway. Hehe...
- Played with the boys in kindergarten coz they seemed to come up with more adventure than the girls.
- Learnt to be tough in kindergarten. Since I was small sized, I could be easily bullied and I wasn't going to let that happen. Wouldn't allow myself to cry coz people might think I'm a wimp. Even if I scraped my knee and it hurts real bad, I wouldn't open my mouth until I went back home.
- Aunty Dora passed away when I was 5 years old. That was when Mum taught me to look at death as a beautiful thing. She just said that Aunty was going to a faraway place and not coming back. And that God will be with her and take care of her. Mum made it sound so peaceful and calm.
- Mum disciplined us with the cane. Sometimes Sis and I would try to be smart and hide the cane but no matter what, Mum always had it ready when needed. Or else she would use the hanger or pinch us real bad. Ouch.
- Since I don't have good memory, Mum made me write lines to study Chinese. It was tough already since we're an English speaking family. I hated Chinese. Remember those squared exercise books? For 2 words, I had to write it repeatedly for 2 lines. 5 words, 5 lines and so forth. My hand would hurt after so much writing. Sometimes I would cry but she only whacked me if I did. :(
- Talk about bad luck. Once I lied saying that I did my writing, that day, she wanted to check. When she found out, she whacked me with the cane 3 times on the palm.
- In CHIJ primary, loved to play string during recess. But they banned it after some time. The weirdest thing was they even banned us from wearing shorts underneath so that we would learn to sit properly and be discouraged to play string. Coz some students liked to play string in front of the general office. All the jumping and skirts flying up. Not a good sight for visitors.
- Transferred to SAC primary when primary 4. Felt the love and warmth of a family in school.
- Met Xianglin who till now is still my best friend. Yay...and lover? *rofl*
- Wrote letters to friends. Still keep those letters from them.
Yep...those were the days. So many memories...the list goes on and on... Pure innocence. Not a care in the world. But then, we all were forced to grow up at some point.

dream world
Back from dinner with my parents' friends.Ok...STMD lab this morning wasn't too bad. Mr Woo isn't that bad. Still prefer Lee Leong coz he's funnier.
After lab, went to get the YUA posters stamped and pinned up on the boards. That's the bad thing about being short. My arm aches after reaching to pin up the posters on the higher spots. And for the even higher spots...don't even think about it. Can't reach even after on tip-toes. -_-|||
Hey...but Design school is different. Their boards are cool. It's self-adhesive. Talk about unique...cool...
Nothing to do. Wanted to go walk about in TM. Was about to leave for TM when Xiu Wei called to ask whether I'm still in school. She wanted company coz she had an hour to kill before her next lesson. Went to the Mac opposite school.
JAE starts. Looking at the people coming in to sign up reminds me of the time I was one of them. Time passes by very quickly when we do not notice it.
And yes! I finally saw the new cab. *excited* I sound like a swakoo right? Hehe...and it's this colour.
These days I find myself downloading a lot of Japanese songs. Hmmm...maybe coz many Japanese artistes are coming out with new albums or singles or concert vcds around this time. If you like the usual J-pop, then I'll recommend Dream's "I Love World ~Sekai Juu no Shiawase wo Uta Ou~".
I knew "Dream" as a 3-girls group. They kinda disbanded some time ago. Then suddenly there's a new 8-girls group named "Dream" too. Thought it was an all-new band. Nope...spotted 2 girls from the previous "Dream", Yu Hasabe and Kana Tachibana.
I wonder why Haloscan acts funny on my blog sometimes. Like for some entries, the comments box doesn't appear...weird...
February 28, 2004 @ 12.04am
jo's 19th
Ah...the clock just struck 12 midnight. Wanted to post this before Jo's birthday ends. Anyway, she, Sof and Alicia must be having a good time clubbing.Happy Birthday Jo! It was nice seeing all the 7ners again. Everyone's here...complete 7ners+1.
Oopz...I was the extremely late one this time. Met them all at Far East. The halal eating place they wanted to go to was full house so had to check out other places. After some time of searching, Per and CJ found another halal eating place in Far East.
Had a good laugh when *was it Pwen?* who suggested writing the double happiness characters on the envelope of Jo's card out of pure fun. Coz the envelope was long, red and opened at the top. Nad said it looked like an ang pow so that's when the suggestion of writing the characters on the front came about.
I wanted to blog about this yesterday but was too lazy. After reading Pwen's entry on the "scandal", it reminded me of Per telling me about CNA's own "scandal". Anyway, they talked about it while eating dinner...just nice. Desmond and Sis both told me that Timothy is gay. So cannot be he's interested in Suzanne? Don't know...haha...
Took photos outside Paragon then headed down to Cine to chill out. But I guess the seats outside Long John's were all taken. So in the end had to leave. PK stopped by one of the pushcarts to buy tees. I almost forgot *ok, I did forget*...I was thinking how come she's on a shopping spree or something coz she just bought a top when we went to buy Jo's present. Ya...coz she needs new clothes for University. She wants more sleeved tops.
Kinda reminds me of what Geraldine said when after O'levels. She said that was the time to go shopping for a whole new wardrobe if you're going to poly. Hmmm...I haven't actually bought clothes for some time already. Nay...I'm just picky. And there's few stuff that actually fits my size.
Was almost 11pm when we left for home.
*sigh* There's STMD make-up lab tomorrow at 8am. And it's not Lee Leong. Mr Woo taking our class tomorrow. I don't know but my first impression of Mr Woo is...he looks like the boring kind. Oh well...*mental note to self* remember to get the YUA posters stamped and pin them up.
I'm dying to watch "Honey" before school starts. Anyone?
February 27, 2004 @ 3.35pm
shameless publicity
Yea yea...publicity.First up...
I would recommend you guys save up some money to go watch this play. I watched it last last year? Can't really remember...but ever since that day, I've been waiting for them to return. It's absolutely hilarious. Even this caucasian lady beside me, she was controlling her laughter all the way *I think for her image sake*. But at the last minute, she couldn't tahan anymore and just burst out laughing. More details here.
Next...doing this for TPJCG...
TPJCG Arts and Entertainment subcomm will be holding a drama screening on 6, 13, 20 March at 11am at LT26 (Engineering school). The drama screened will be "Taiho Shichauzo" or commonly known as "You're Under Arrest". For those who are into anime, you should know what I'm talking about. This is the drama version. Members of JCG...the screening will be free of charge...just bring your JCG tee. Non-members, it's $1. More details on the drama at the official website or here.
Okie dokie...done with the publicity. Mehehehehe...
February 26, 2004 @ 10.34pm
what's going on?
[edited at 2.46am]Just added music. It's Speed's "Walking In The Rain". Don't know how long this will stay. I'm fickle-minded so I might change the song as I like. For those who rather read without the music, you know what to do right? There's a stop button there. *points*
I should drink more water. My lips feel very dry. Bleargh.
[edited]
I think my horrible sleeping times are the cause of the headaches. I don't know, I just feel like accomplishing something over this short break. But the right stuff don't happen. So to keep myself from thinking all sorts of things, I read or do some sewing.
I look forward to school and yet I want more breaks. I don't know what I really want.
I just know that I end up sleeping at around 4 or 5am. Wake up at noon. Do a little reading or sewing then get a headache, so back to sleep. Wake up again around 5pm. Do stuff...watch tv. Then around 10 or 11pm get a slight headache again. It's like I have no life...if you get what I mean. And I just get more confused.
Asked Cas whether she's free for dinner. Not free. So dinner was with family. Mum came home earlier today coz she's got a bad headache. Dinner at the kopitiam downstairs.
Saw this stray cat. Reminded me of Per's Keera. Except Keera's bigger sized. This cat has unusual eyes. It's like reddish goldish? At first, I was trying to take a good look coz the cat might be blind. But I took a good look and realised its eyes are like that.
And wow...the kopitiam uncle is cool. He paid for cable tv so one of the tvs was showing the MTV channel. Hehe...
Oh yea...the mp3 on Jillene's blog is hilarious. Anyone wanna go to India? *rofl*

[edited]
Hehe...late entry...was busy watching CSI and a little of Dark Angel. Whoa...today's episode of CSI is really exciting. About a stalker. Scary.
I don't know why but these few days I get headaches. I don't know whether it's coz of not enough sleep or too much sleep. Weird. Or maybe it's the weather?
Mum didn't go to work today. Probably to stick around to check on Sis. I'm sorry to say this but I think she's feeling guilty or something. But isn't it a little too late?
Mum seems to be nicer. I'm not saying that it's all an act. Just that perhaps she should have thought twice before yelling on and on. What the...who am I to say such things anyway?
At least now, Sis is starting to get back to being ok. This morning she was still sore? Like she wouldn't talk or even if she did, it'll be like talking to the ants. Perhaps she felt like she woke up all wrong. That she's just one huge mistake? I don't know. I can't read her mind. I can only feel a little of what she feels when I look at her.
Dinner at Liang Court. Japanese restaurant. Food is good.
My fringe is getting a little too long. Wanna trim it a little. Bah...
Yay! "Honey" opens tomorrow...or rather today. I so wanna watch that movie.

trembling with fear
[edited at 2.20am]Forgot to add something. Which is: Please don't treat my Sis like she has the plague or something just coz she has this problem. She's still very much a normal person. A person who is still looking for acceptance among people.
And since now things have calmed down a lot, I shall continue blogging about other stuff. Actually whatever I blogged below, that whole chunk, would have gone down on paper last time. Coz I feel that it's hard to talk to people about such things and the only way I could express things and let it out was to write.
I was talking to PK in the afternoon. I was laughing/smirking *damn, what's the right word for it* that at 18+, I'm still looking for acceptance among people. Something which I thought might have stayed in my primary/secondary school days. But I guess everyone's like that.
Desmond has come over. Just to be there for Sis...
[edited]
My heart is still racing, my fingers still tremble a little from what I just saw.
I really don't know what happened but I just heard Mum started yelling and then Sis stormed onto the couch. After which, Mum couldn't stop repeating what she had to say. I went into the kitchen to pick up my dinner.
Suddenly Sis came back into the kitchen and yelled at Mum to stop it. Mum didn't stop. Sis grabbed the keys and wanted to run out of the house. Mum pulled her back. That's when the whole thing happened again.
I know that running out to get fresh air would be the only way to get out of the mess. Staying in the house would only make one get locked up in a cell with no escape route. But I also understand that what Mum did was logical. When Sis is in one of her depression bouts, it's dangerous for her. Coz her mind locks up, freezes, so she might even cross a road without looking.
However, Mum went a little too far. She kept yelling. I wanted to ask her to stop but I didn't dare to. I'm afraid to incur her wrath too.
That's when things got really bad. Suddenly Sis started yelling...screaming. It's like a kid throwing tantrums on the floor, except that this is worse. She just kicked all round and retreated to a corner. I got really scared. Started to tremble. I'm afraid that she'll grab a knife. Coz she did tell me before that sometimes she want to cut herself...coz the pain would be easier to bear than this pain.
I really wanted to cry. I scold myself inside for being a coward. I should have just told Mum to stop. Then things might not have happened this way. I feel really helpless. At times like these, I want to question God why I have such a family. All I want is a happy family. One with less problems. But I know, it's not for me to choose such things.
I don't understand why such things have to happen before people realise that they have crossed the line. That they should have just shut up so things would be better.
Which is why sometimes I get pretty uptight on this subject (depression) when I talk to you guys about it. Or why I say some of you don't even know what it is. You simply have not seen or experienced the worst. It's not about just crying non-stop. There's lots more to it which even I may not know. I can't read my Sis's mind. But whatever there is to be seen, can make one tremble with fear.
I'm ok...but I fear for my Sis.

After I turned off the computer, I did some reading and ended up sleeping at 5+am. Needless to say, I had to sleep till afternoon to feel like I've slept enough.
Went to the library to return the books before they issue a warrant for my arrest. *chuckles* Wanted to pay the fines but forgot to bring out my cashcard. Bleargh.
Did some shopping. Retail therapy. Haha. Got BoA's new korean album. Actually the songs are not new since they have already been sung in Japanese.
Sis and Desmond cooked dinner. Dinner was soumen. Yay!
If I were to sleep now, would tomorrow be a better day? *wonders* Perhaps my straightforwardness has hurt someone again.
February 23, 2004 @ 1.51am
feel fine
[edited at 4.34am]Slept too much in the day. Definitely. Just changed my wallpaper at this unearthly hour. It's now Kuraki Mai in the song "Time After Time ~Hana Mau Machi De~". Winamp skin is also her. Don't have another Kuraki Mai skin so had to use back this one.
[edited]
This is gonna be a long update.
Friday night...supposed to be studying. Ended up talking to Sis. I was glad she could understand how I felt. Maybe it's coz she has gone through what I'm now going through before. And there again she left me with one of her impact statements..."Welcome to the real world". But really...I choose to see and focus on the goodness in people.
Since talking to her took up most of my time, I slept at 3am and woke up at 7am to continue studying. With the HR Management paper at 9am. Anyway, couldn't finish studying. -_-||| Bleargh. The last question on the case study was exactly on the topic I didn't study. 10 marks...for the crap I wrote, I'll probably just bag 1 or 2 marks.
And woohoo! Term tests finally over!
Went home to catch some sleep before going out again to meet Xianglin. Had lunch at Ikea. Whoa...the place was really crowded. Actually the food there isn't that wonderful. The menu is really limited. The place is supposedly famous for its Swedish Meatballs. *I bet those taking ADID would know about it since Ian Ang keeps mentioning it.*
Heart-to-heart talk with Xianglin. It's nice to have heart-to-heart talks with someone. There's so much you can learn about the other. So much you can catch up on. So many misunderstandings can be cleared. *thinks back of the time with Nad at Long John's* Thanks for taking time off to meet me. *hugz*
She was going to meet her close friends for steamboat at 6.30pm so there was some time to kill. Walked around Orchard. Was in Watsons and they were playing some old pop songs. Xianglin was saying how we all used to love such bubblegum pop songs. Haha...we think back at all the childish things we did back then. And she did this little dance in Watsons. Haha...
I left for home. Kinda senseless since in about an hour's time, I would need to be out of the house again. Needed a bath anyway. Mum prepared dinner for me.
Was late. Took a cab down *again*. Jazz @ South Bridge...pub with live jazz music. When I reached, Shaz, Da Ge, Zhi Hao, Yingwei and Clare were there already. Xiu Wei and Paul joined us later. And I just missed "Fly Me To The Moon" I think *wails*...I like that piece. Sis would have enjoyed if she was there since she loves jazz music. They played her favourite piece, "Girl From Ipanima".
People like me who don't drink kinda lose out a bit coz the non-alcoholic drinks are really expensive. But who cares ehz? Had to leave after some time coz it was getting crowded and we couldn't hold on to the seats for Cas, Raynor and Kelvin. They took a LONG time to get there.
Finally...they reach. *does the dance of joy* Only to leave again. *wonder what's going on* Anyway, Paul drove us to a cafe. Mr Bean's Cafe along Selegie Road *am I right?*. And the trio take a LONG time to get there AGAIN. Da Ge wasn't feeling well.
Finally...they reach AGAIN. Talk...eat...the usuals. To spice things up, we decided to play the number guessing game. The catch was that the person who lost gotta do the truth or dare thingy. There was no choice in truth or dare. The first time would be truth, the next a dare.
I lost twice. Both were dares. The first was to eat this piece of fish with lots of pepper. Somehow I didn't taste the pepper? The second was to cry just like that. Now, THAT was a little hard. The only way to make tears roll down my cheeks instantly would be to remove my contacts and put them back on. But I couldn't do that. The other way would be to make me really feel like crying...those would be real tears. But how to, when I don't feel sad?
Called Nad halfway coz was getting worried for her. She had some things on her mind. Nadine-chan, daijoubu?
Anyway, the game lasted till really late. 3am. And I was supposed to leave at 2am. Needless to say...would probably get a scolding. But it's ok. Since it was really my fault, I'll accept the scolding.
Kelvin drove me home. New car...woooooo...the smell of the leather is woooooooo... Thanks sensei. *bows* Hehe...I'm weird...love all the funny smells...
I wasn't really sleepy. At 4am in the morning, I could still make silly faces in the mirror as I removed my contacts. Wahahahaha...
My parents were sleeping already. Didn't get a scolding. Even this *Sunday* afternoon. *phew* I'm really grateful. Perhaps they are starting to be a little more relaxed on me. I hope. Thanks guys, for the time spent at the cafe.
Sunday...sleeping like a pig. Woke up for lunch. After lunch, back to sleep. Had a headache anyway. Woke up again around 7pm. So now, I'm wide awake. Wahahahaha...
Had dinner with the family at the TM steamboat area.
Recently, I've decided to re-download ICQ again. Was using ICQ-lite for some time. But I miss the pretty ICQ skins. Neh neh...still doesn't work fine. Keeps disconnecting by itself. Maybe I'm destined to use ICQ-lite from now on. Bleargh. No pretty ICQ skins. *wails* Yes...little things like these make me happy. Little things...reminds me of that song...*sings* "It's the little things that we share, the love and joy that's in the air. The childrens' laughter everywhere and all our favourite things..."
Lastly, to Yingwei and Clare...wishing you guys good health and all the happiness in the world. God bless. *smilez*

waiting room
[edited at 10.42pm]Everytime I look at the Business school exam papers, I can't help but wonder do they use the computer to type the questions? Coz the font used is neither the standard Times New Roman nor Arial. It looks suspiciously like they used a typewriter or something. Something which I will totally roll on the floor with laughter if they did. Oopz...I'm sorry...
[edited]
[edited at 5.41pm]
Oh I'm sorry...but my mind refuses to concentrate on studying and my fingers won't cooperate on writing notes.
There is really no place like home. I can make silly faces in front of the mirror. I can run through the hall like a siao char bor. I can sing along to whatever song I like. Things you won't really see when I'm out there. And the best part is there's no one to criticise, no one to say I can't do this or that, no one to laugh at me *except Sis who acts like a siao char bor most of the time too*. There IS a different side of me. Muahahahaha...oopz...oh pardon me but now I've let out my secret.
[edited]
[edited at 4.07pm]
Hahaha... *lol* Silly me. Getting so flustered over the NETS transactions. Sis offered that I might have topped-up my ezlink by NETS. I think I did. Ehz...don't laugh lehz. Laugh lahz...laugh some more I smack ya face. Bleargh.

Was arranging my CDs yesterday. A few here...a few there. Took out some with cracked disc cases. One of them being Sixpence None The Richer's album.
There's this song in the album that has really interesting lyrics. The song sounds pretty weird too. Have always wondered what it meant.
Here's the lyrics...
"The Waiting Room" by Sixpence None The Richer
Fight 'til your fists bleed, baby.
Beat the fate-walls enclosing you, maybe
God will unlock the cage of learning for you.
Fight 'til your fists bleed, baby.
Kick and scream at the wicked things, maybe
God will unlock the door you need to walk through.
When will it happen, baby?
It could be near, but then maybe it could be far.
Here we are in the waiting room of the world.
We will wait until you call our name out loud,
In the waiting room of the world.
We will wait until you call our name out loud.
And the battle will never end well.
You can't marry our heaven to your hell.
We, Prolific, and you, the Devourer, need to see
Some things are sacred, baby.
Why have you gone and trampled them lately?
I guess it's just all a part of your way.
You should be ashamed.
I'm getting tired of fighting.
I guess I should ask, "Do I go quietly down?
Do I kick, do I scream when I'm bound?
Are you coming to open the door? Are you near?
Are you near? Is it far?"
Here we are in the waiting room of the world.
We will wait until you call our name out loud,
In the waiting room of the world.
We will wait until you call our name out loud.

un-real me
[edited at 1.33am]Suddenly I'm reminded of this line "Nobody likes me. Everybody hates me. Maybe I should go eat worms." *Ermz...it's a song right? Those kind used to taunt other people or something.* I'm pretty tickled by it.
[edited]
When Sis is in a good mood, everything's fine and happy. And the house would have 2 siao char bors. Yes...she was demonstrating the power of a plastic spoon.
Just started watching the 9pm show on Channel U. I think the show's nice. And I'll stay glued to the tv till after the news. Yupz...as usual, it's always depressing stuff on the news. Sis would add in that perhaps the world is going to end. That God would send a holy fire to wipe out and cleanse everything.
I recommend you guys watch CSI on Wednesdays. I really enjoy watching it. It's like watching Kindaichi but in a more cool and sophisticated way.
Argh...it's a bad thing when you have short term memory. I just received a statement of unposted transactions from the bank since I haven't actually updated my passbook since don't know when. The last 2 transactions bug me a little. I can't remember what I spent on. Neither can I find the NETS receipts for them.
Somehow I find things different. I find people have changed. Or maybe it's just me who has changed. Suddenly everything around me seems fake. Even myself seems fake. And it scares me so.

nagging feeling
[edited at 8.21pm]Superficial.
Me *can someone pass over a big eraser?*
[edited]
Had a nice talk with Sis yesterday. I remember she left me with this line "The world is like our stage, we're just mere actors on it". I tried to argue my point that I'd rather show the real me. But, I gotta admit that there's some truth in what she said. Sometimes it's good talking to Sis. Her words often awaken me to the harsh reality but she puts it across in a more subtle way.
Maybe I do think too much. I have this nagging feeling that I should let go while I still can...while it hurts less.

snapshots up
[edited at 11.33pm]Sis found this. This is what happens when guys are left alone. And the things people will do just to gain a few minutes of fame. Haha...
[edited]
Added some snapshots. Been wanting to do that for quite some time already...but the digicam was with Sis.
*screams* I received a postcard in the mail!!! It's from Cas! Actually, I received it a few days ago...this isn't slow reaction ok. Just that I wanted to contain the excitement until I post the photo up.
And it's so exciting receiving mail. Ah...the simple pleasures in life.

graduation
[edited at 12.01am]I found my answer...I found what I'm looking for. But if only I had the chance. But then again, would I cherish the chance? Or would I not know what to say?
[edited]
Hehe...shall do a little Japanese music recommendation again. Nope, it's not about Kuraki Mai this time. It's a girl band called Zone. Just downloaded a relatively new song "Sotsugyou" which means "graduation". The girls are around my age. And the best part is they play their own music. Electric guitars...drums...cool. I like their other song "Secret Base".
ORDS paper was like shit. I'm really dead. Think I'll flunk it. And I've only got myself to thank for it. Enough said.
IN3D paper wasn't too bad. Though I did spend a tad too much time on the plan and elevation drawings that I had to rush through the back parts. Bleargh.
Dinner with Cas, Xiu Wei and Shaz. It has been a long time since Xiu Wei joined us for dinner. Yay yay yay!
Got a new sketch book for you guys to pen down messages. Remember how we used to sign each other's autograph books? Except now, I'm opting for a more simple book. Something which has enough white space for everyone to exercise their creativity. Yet not too much in case you guys start refusing to write something coz you don't know what to do with the extra space. You really don't need to take great pains in decorating it. It's all up to you...finally, it's the thought that counts...
I'm getting paranoid again. I need to confirm something before I decide what to do next. Where do I go? Sis will always be my older Sis... She did say something which comforted me a lot. Although we don't always agree on everything, I know she will always watch out for me and I love her.

bloody bloodsucker
[edited at 1.51am]When I say I'm dead, believe me...I AM DEAD...oh so dead...
[edited]
Yes yes...an irritating bloodsucker left me with a swollen eyelid last night. I had to get up at 4+am in the morning just to smack it dead. There was fresh blood when I squashed it. MY BLOOD.
Sis is having fun with her new camera phone. Motorola C550. I shall wait for a better phone deal to come along then I'll change my handphone.
She is also such a big fat liar. She promised she'll pass me the digicam after yesterday. I asked her for it today and she refused to hand it over. Instead she keeps chiding me over whether I'm studying or not. So what if I'm not studying. So what if I fail. It's all my own doing. None of her business. And it does not have anything to do with the digicam. She is going back on her promise. *crossed*
I didn't watch Moulin Rouge. But I do like the line from the show "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved." Did I get it right? This is based on my memory of the show a few years back.
Ooh...and the MTV Asia Awards 2004 held last night. Yay! BoA won for Favourite Music Artist from Korea. And everyone was thinking that Justin Timberlake would win Favourite Male Artist. Too bad, Gareth Gates bagged the trophy instead. But anyway, I don't really care. Was hoping that Black Eyed Peas would win for Favourite Pop Act. Blue won instead. Yea...guessed as much...Black Eyed Peas only recently became popular after the song "Where Is The Love?"
Hehe...after a long time, I finally realised why there's no award for Favourite Music Artist from Japan. That's coz MTV Japan holds their own awards ceremony in Japan.
Okie dokie...enough slacking...back to studying.

fat frog cafe
Just came home. Chilled at a nice cafe. It's near National Library. Behind the kopitiam. I think it's called Fat Frog Cafe. There's live music. Good atmosphere. Good place to chill. Chilled with Cas, Raynor, Shaz and Da Ge.Thanks for the company on St Valentine's Day. *smilez* Hope you guys enjoy the movie.
February 14, 2004 @ 7.26pm
moon child
Initially I didn't want to go for the movie screening, but I had no choice coz I'm supposed to help out since it's organised by the Arts & Entertainment subcomm. I'm glad I didn't make up some excuse so that I could sleep at home. The movie was good. Enjoyed it. Hehe...I'm going to get the disc from Meizhi to burn a copy.And I'm recommending it to you guys. The movie is Moon Child. Starring Hyde, Gackt, Wang Lee Hom...and Suzuki Anne appears in small parts. It did not make it to Singapore shores. Mainly because there isn't a market for Japanese stuff here...unlike Taiwan or Hong Kong. Not because the movie's a flop. And I'm not being bias here. The movie's really good...not coz I love Japanese stuff. Well, that's a added plus point. So, if you wanna watch it, you know what to do right? Hehe...
Also, to clear some misunderstandings regarding the actor in the movie. Hyde is not dead yet. Do not confuse him with Hide from X-Japan. Hide is the deceased member of the now defunct X-Japan. Whereas Hyde is a member of L'Arc en Ciel. He does have his own solo project though.
Sis was practically whacking my arm so hard just coz her Hyde's name was the first in the end credits. Talk about obsession.
Wang Lee Hom's acting wasn't too bad too. Although in the beginning of the movie, his mandarin was heavily accented. I think they made him brush up on his mandarin coz in the later parts of the movie, he seemed to pronounce his words more clearly. Yupz...although the movie is a Japanese film, it does have mandarin parts.
Enough about the movie...don't wanna be a spoiler. Mehehehe...
Last day of open house for TP. Walked around with Sis. While she shamelessly looked for freebies to grab. *shakes head* Eeks! She's a freebie monster! *runs for cover*
Oh...and it didn't help that I'm short and small and some people thought I'm a freshie, just finished O'levels. NO!!! I'm a freakin year 2 student, complete with the eyebags from all the chiong-ing of projects and stress. I saw Huda too. I was trying figure out the familiar face coz she looked different since she slimmed down quite a bit and she was wearing a tudung. She thought I forgot her. Get this clear, I DO NOT forget people.
Had lunch at Breeks! in TM. I seriously think their service sucks. Here we are waiting at the entrance, waiting to be seated. They aren't attentive. They see us but they don't give a damn about it. At least nod or ask us to wait a while to acknowledge that we're there. We're not transparent ok. And we CAN pay for our meal ok. I had to go up to one of the waiters and sarcastically ask whether we're supposed to wait to be seated since there's a freakin "Please wait to be seated" sign at the entrance. Even the manager's like that...gawd...
Today is also St Valentine's Day. I have a date with myself. Not really...coz I'll be meeting them later. Gonna chill at a cafe. They will be watching a midnight movie. Too bad, I can't join them. Namely for the reasons...1) Mum won't be too happy. 2) The movie's going to end in the wee hours of the morning. It isn't safe for a girl to be out so late. Especially when she doesn't have an escort. 3) They are watching in PS. Transport back home...tough. I can walk home from TM. But I can't walk home from PS right? *rolls eyes* 4) Term tests start on Monday. That leaves me very little time to study. 5) And it doesn't help that ORDS is the first freakin paper. Something which I have no clue about.
Oh oh...last but not least, birthday wishes to Yingwei.
February 13, 2004 @ 10.07pm
birthday wishes
[edited at 11.27pm]I'm so loving Kuraki Mai's songs every minute. Yupz...gotta get "Wish You The Best"...
[edited]
Just a few stuff which I forgot...yea yea, short term memory.
Yesterday night, I wanted to go to the toilet before going to sleep. Since it was pretty late, I did not want to risk getting scolded by using the toilet in my parents' room. So, went to the back toilet. Horrors of all horrors...there was a cockroach. Decided to go to my parents' room after all. Again, to my horror, there was a cockroach. Ended up not even going to the toilet. Was that meant to torture me?
Guess I won't be getting my yukata in time for Natsu Matsuri this year. Due to the shortened semester/holiday break plus the fact that Sis is forced to take a CDS during the holidays, I don't think we'll be visiting Japan after all.
I think it's high time people stop watching the clip of William Hung over and over again just for their entertainment's sake. I think it's rather sad that he's the kind who's trying so hard to fit in and just can't. Plus he doesn't seem very bright, which makes him oblivious to the fact that people are mocking him. A bit like a particular schoolmate of mine. They are still human. They have feelings too.
Had dinner with Cas, Raynor, Kelvin and Shaz at KFC. Met Nadhira there.
Lastly, birthday wishes to Wei Ming. Belated birthday wishes to Nadhira. And upcoming birthday wishes to Yingwei. Have a blessed birthday and may all your dreams come true. *smilez*

thank god it's friday
[edited at 5.10pm]My eyelids are getting heavy. I'm getting pretty bored. But I can't close my eyes to sleep...unless I want to wake up to red eyes. Maybe I should go take a walk...yea...that's it.
[edited]
Can't think of another title for this entry...so there...the usual phrase being exclaimed out loud on Fridays by Sec 4.6 2001. The one which makes Mrs Pearce run out of class fast enough so she can avoid bursting her eardrums.
Well...for all the superstitious people out there, it's also Friday the 13th. Whether you think you'll have bad luck or good luck it's up to you.
Mehehehehe...after all the folding and bending of paperclips, my fingers feel a little sore. But it's ok...just for my friends. *smilez*
Stomach's growling...I'm hungry...

strawberry mentos not the answer
[edited at 11.58pm]Just finished defragmenting my C drive. Haha...took almost 6 hours.
Had dinner with 7ners...minus Nad and CJ. Nad got work. CJ has a movie date with her friends. I really thank God for my close group of friends. They never fail to make me laugh. Although we have busy schedules, we still make it a point to meet up sometime. The same feeling...the familiarity...always there.
[edited]
Strawberry mentos is not the answer today. They taste particularly sour today.
February 10, 2004 @ 10.40pm
html colour quiz
[edited at 1.47am]Just added another item to my wishlist. It's growing longer and longer...oopz... It's Kuraki Mai's first best album titled "Wish You The Best". Unfortunately, Kuraki Mai is not a very popular Japanese artiste in Singapore. So, her albums cannot be found in normal CD stores. Most probably only in HMV or Tower Records. And you know how these 2 big CD stores sell CDs at a more expensive price.
Kuraki Mai's named to be the second Utada Hikaru, where her music goes along the lines of R'n'B. Always thought she was like around our age. Oh no...she's one year older than Utada, which makes her 22 this year. Although Utada looks older...guess Mai has a young face.
First liked her music after listening to her song "Love Day After Tomorrow" on radio. "Secret Of My Heart" is my favourite song from one of her older albums. I like the PV *promotion video...in other words MTV* for this song too. *smilez*
[edited]
Nothing interesting to blog today. Except that tomorrow's the first day of open house for TP.
Just a quizzie from someone's blog. Forgot who's already...short term memory.

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well. Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working. Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation. |

Ouch! Just went to the toilet and slipped on the wet floor. My bum and fingers hurt. Owwwwww...
February 10, 2004 @ 10.13pm
long nap in a long time
[edited at 1.30am]These days, I get paranoid easily. I can't help it...maybe it's the no confidence thing in me...it's just me. I guess Nad should know what paranoid I'm talking about.
[edited]
Haha...I finally had a long nap. A long nap in a very long time. Hehz...but I don't feel refreshed either. -_-||| Okie...better don't continue. Wait all those still having ongoing projects come and pelt me with stones. :X
Had dinner with Cas. Raynor and Kelvin having NSC stuff till late.
I'm really deciding whether to buy the sunshine yellow striped Adidas shoes. I have the money. But once I use it means it's gone. Then what if I have more important things to get? I don't want to ask Mum for money. I just feel it isn't right. I should be buying stuff with my own money.
Stupid Sis. Keep asking her for the digicam...keep telling me to wait. Then she forgets...I forget...and one more day passes by. And I still don't get the digicam.

project chiong-ster
[edited at 11.35pm]Elisia's toenails are now black! Wahahahaha...except that they are messily painted. *scrambles for the nail polish remover* Gotta wipe up the mess. I wanted thicker nail polish...I got it. However, it's really too thick. Doesn't spread nicely on the nail. That explains the mess. I don't care.
Made some changes to the page to make way for the photo feature and wallpaper update. The little pics are clickable by the way. Wanna get a closer look? Bigger picture? You know what to do.
[edited]
[edited at 9.29pm]
Went home to get my notes for IN3D. Anyway, I didn't really answer the question Michael Shaw asked correctly.
I'm glad the projects are over at the moment. Not really for STMD coz there's still the server upload part to be assessed since the server is still down so we can't upload our stuff. There's still the mind map for HR Management too. But, the major stuff's over.
I went for ADID lab finally. Somehow I don't feel extremely tired. Which is weird. Maybe slowly I'm getting immuned. I remember the first time I stayed up the whole night, the next day I felt like I was floating. Like I'm there and not there at the same time. So zombified. I think interesting things help keep me awake too. Like watching the red dot move across the screen...hehe...
[edited]
[edited at 8.50am]
Freak! I forgot today's IN3D tutorial is the one where we have to present our project stuff. I'm not prepared. I was even thinking of skipping tutorial to go home and sleep. Luckily Zhi Hao reminded me...or else...
[edited]
It's almost 5am and I'm still up. Left with a little more of the storyboard to complete. Probably will be left with less than 2 hours of sleep. Class starts at 8am.
I'm planning to skip ADID lab (3-6pm) if I'm feeling zombified. Something which is totally predictable.
February 8, 2004 @ 11.35am
last day
[edited at 5.55pm]Finally done with the designing of the STMD webby. Very simple. Can't test the clip coz the server is still down.
I must be very unlucky. This is the freakin third time that my zip disk is spoilt. And it's like only a few days old...this zip disk! I try to save my work. The thingy hangs. I end task. The damned zip drive is still running. I press to eject the zip disk. After that, the zip disk cannot be read. What the hell! ARGH! Freak freak freak. *fumes*
[edited]
This is the last day for me to chiong everything. Unless Lee Leong decides to give our class an extension of the deadline.
Anyway, I'm blogging now for no actual reason. Just the wallpaper update.
I found this pic of Ayu. Somehow I feel that the pic expresses a few things...however you choose to interpret it. I added the words below the pic, it reads "Some things are meant to be left unsaid". Meaning, there are some things that need not be said.
As the saying goes "Actions speak louder than words". Sometimes little actions can mean a lot. Like how a hug can comfort someone who's feeling down, represent love, represent friendship. Like how a smile can bring sunshine and brighten up someone's life. *smilez*
As for the winamp skin, didn't have a black and white Ayu one. So decided on Jiro from Glay instead. Glay has some pretty cool songs. "Mermaid" is power! Yes yes...and I can picture Per jumping up and down exclaiming she likes Hisashi from Glay. *grinz*
February 8, 2004 @ 12.31am
retail therapy
Just came home from Mum's godma's place. Had steamboat dinner there. Then, the whole talking/story session there. That's why I'm home so late.Had ORDS tutorial and lab this morning. Tutorial is just like a major answer copying session. And lab's like a term test panic session coz I have no freakin idea what to do. I try to flip through the tutorial sheets and lecture slides...looking at the examples...code a little. Find out there's something wrong. Then, tutor decides to give out the answer. I look at her answer, I don't know what is what. Absolutely clueless.
Met up with Cas and Yingwei. I was about to go home coz I thought Cas didn't have class today, didn't want to disturb her...in case she's at home sleeping. So I sms-ed Raynor first. Called. No answer. Finally, sms-ed Cas. She replied. Found out, Raynor's having NSC training. Oopz...sorry for disturbing. Really didn't know. Gomenasai.
Went to Tampines library coz both of them and Cas's group members needed to look for stuff for their CMSK3 bibliography assessment. Had lunch at Long John's.
After lunch, went to Challenger to get paper. Yingwei left. That's when the real retail therapy starts. Went from shop to shop. Cas bought her flip flops from Adidas. I found the Adidas shoe appealing. You know the common striped one. This one has yellow stripes. Sunny yellow. Cheery yellow. Hehe...
Retail therapy left me with no time to take a good long nap. Ended up with a 25 minute nap. But never mind. I do thank Cas for the time we spent walking around TM. I think it did take our minds of the projects for awhile.
Get really tired fast nowadays. I can't even have reading time before I sleep. Just plonk down on my bed and sleep. Try to catch as much rest as I can before waking up and troubling over project stuff.
According to Wee Hua, the server is still down. Perhaps that's why I get a connection error when using CuteFTP. I thought it was my problem. Just tried the one Lee Leong suggested using. Can't even load it. Error. Anyway, we might have a project deadline extension in that case. Lee Leong better be kind enough. Hehe...*thinks about Louis and his threat*...
As for the HR Management report. I hope things are ok. I don't think I have time to find out from Joel whether he needs help. I don't really trust him. I keep thinking that either we will end up with a crappy report or he hands in the report late. That reminds me...I have to send him my reflection to add into the report.
Crapz. I hope I don't forget about it. I have short term memory. Like how I can happily say I'm done in the IN3D lab test. Only realised at night that I finished building the model but forgot to write some stuff on the lab sheet. And Michael Shaw didn't even say anything when I said I'm done and he checked my paper. He just asked me to save the model and off the monitor. He could have asked how come I left the spaces blank in the lab sheet when he checked whether I wrote my name and computer number on it. Anyway, no use crying over spilt milk. What's done is done.
February 6, 2004 @ 9.40am
doing nothing
[edited at 12.06am]Freak! Bad news. My 100MB zip disk is spoilt. The one I use for school work. Luckily I have a backup of the earlier stuff saved in it. Unfortunately, the newer stuff is gone. Neh neh...this is the second zip disk to be spoilt already.
[edited]
[edited at 11.16pm]
Got to go home a little earlier. Since the lab was full. We didn't have much inspiration for recording sounds and the report. Everyone's tired.
Had dinner alone today. Got myself a pizza takeaway from Pasta Mania. I also got Aya Matsuura's new album "x3" and Speed's concert vcd. Ooh...and I got my long-awaited black nail polish. Hope it's ok. I was about to paint my toenails yellow...hehe...but now...
There will be ORDS tutorial and lab make-up lessons tomorrow. Sianz. I have absolutely no idea what I'm learning. Goodness...I better buck up a little. Term tests are just round the corner.
[edited]
[edited at 2.11pm]
Yupz...Design school canteen's chicken chop is the best. Confirm. Plus guarantee chop.
Having my fix of strawberry mentos now. *counts* About 5 more to go and the whole tube's gone. Hehe...another good thing happened...
*phew* Now that the Comm Skills Assessment is over. One more down. Not too bad. Most of the talking done by Louis. But never mind...I did try too. Left with ORDS tutorial and lab to endure. Then down to STMD project. One at a time.
Forgot about it. I wrote some stuff when I was bored yesterday. Darn...forgot to get back the digicam from Sis.
[edited]
HR Management tutorial was scheduled at 8am today. Supposed to do peer teaching and just wrap up whatever there is for the report.
I think our group is so relaxed to the point where I feel I'm doing nothing. I worry for peer evaluation. Coz I missed last week's meeting...sick. I found out that the 2 guys in our group also didn't turn up last week. How the hell do I evaluate them? Gosh... And one of them is going to compile everything and type out the report. I seriously doubt his abilities.
Well...at least that's one thing of my mind today. At the moment only. Now, just gotta focus on the next which is the Comm Skills Assessment later. I hope I can find something to contribute. I feel pretty slack in all projects. It's alarming. Just handle things one by one.
Tired. A bit on the cranky side. Unfortunately, I won't get to see my sunshine today. Maybe I should go get a fix of strawberry mentos later.
February 5, 2004 @ 10.38pm
woozy
[edited at 11.18pm]Just remembered some things. I can be the next person to endorse Ice Mountain mineral water. Drank 4 bottles of that water today. Wow...that's $2.40 for DRINKING WATER.
Today is my Dad's birthday, last day of CNY and the chinese Valentine's Day. Great. How great.
Getting a little irritated. I'm tired and want to get things done as soon as possible so I can get some sleep. And there they are asking me to do this...asking me to look at that. Just blardee leave me alone. I'm highly irritable now.
[edited]
Woot. Something's wrong with haloscan again. No comments box. I tried re-adding the entry but still like that. Anyway, I'm adding this update as a new entry so you can comment.
Tired. My head's spinning a little but can't sleep. Gotta do work. Argh.
Had dinner at the Mac opposite school again. With Cas and Xiu Wei.
February 5, 2004 @ 10.36pm
i'm getting sleepy...sleepy...
Feel damn sleepy now. While watching Wee Hua edit the project, I'm supposed to give opinions. But in between, I'm actually falling asleep. Every night is the same now. I can't stay up. I don't mind forcing myself to stay up even if I feel sleepy. The problem is, I get a headache. So there's no choice, I have to sleep. I don't want to take panadol. Don't want to get dependant on it.Every night is the same. I stay in school until 9pm. I have dinner. Go home. Bathe. By then, it's already 11+pm. I blog. Get a headache, can't go on. Sleep. And that's it. Nothing done.
I haven't done a single thing for the HR project. Tomorrow's the day. I have to produce something. I can't get an mc again. It would mean that I have done absolutely nothing for the project which is due on Monday. By hook or by crook, I have to do something tonight. I only hope I don't get frustrated and cry halfway. It happens. When I'm tired...really very tired and I can't sleep...forced not to sleep, my emotions get really down and I have to cry to let out the frustration. Sing me a song. Perhaps I'll feel better.
Worse...tomorrow school starts at 8am and ends at 6pm. God bless me.
On the flip side, I do feel a little happy today. Coz of something. *smilez* And I got my fix of strawberry mentos. Strawberry mentos really makes one feel happy. Everyone must continue to jia you ok? Ganbare!
February 4, 2004 @ 5.15pm
c if for cookie
[edited at 12.01am]I think I shall paint my toenails again. I need to do something that makes me happy. After today's project brain drain...and for another reason which I'm not about to disclose here. I shall post a photo up here so you can see the pretty colour. Yes...it's high time I got the digicam back from Sis.
Got pretty hungry while doing the project. Since the mobile canteen was still open, thought I could get a honey chicken pau to fill my stomach a little. Horrors of all horrors...no more cooked food. Nothing. Had to get strawberry pocky in the end. SADDDDD...
Dinner with the guys was cancelled coz Da Ge was tired. I didn't think they could wait till 9pm for me anyway. Ended up having dinner with Cas at the Mac opposite school.
Thanks Cas! Seems you have to have dinner with me even though you're so tired already. Keeps me in sync with reality...prevents me from losing myself to my own thoughts. I really appreciate it. Really I do. *salutes*
[edited]
More publicity. TP students! JCG is selling cookies for St Valentine's Day. There are 2 flavours...apricot and almond or mango and almond. Each pack is sold at $5.50. There are about 10 cookies in each pack. There are 2 colours for the packaging...autumn (brownish) or pink/red. Our booth is situated outside the One-Stop Service Centre. The booth will be there every afternoon till about next Tuesday.
Helped man the booth this afternoon. First customer was Kubo sensei. Joanna was nice to order one pack too. Other than that...a bit -_-|||.
IN3D lab test just over. Not too difficult. *phew*
Just waiting for the HCI lab to be free at 6pm so we can continue working on our STMD project. Sianz...
February 3, 2004 @ 1.19pm
entertainment
[edited at 11.59pm]Finished digitizing the freakin STMD film. Oh no...we're not done yet...we're FAR from done. There's still a lot of editing to be done. From a raw 15 minute uncut version to an edited 3-3.5 minute feature. But that's enough for today. With our tired minds not thinking, freaking out at a minute setting in Adobe Premiere that truly tested our command of English, Wee Hua almost pulling his hair out wondering why the freakin preview didn't stop at where it should be...took him about an hour to realise that it was coz of the frames-per-second setting should be 25 instead of 30. Enough is enough...for the day.
Met Cas in Tampines Interchange. Went to Pasta Mania for dinner.
Tomorrow, I'll be helping out at the JCG cookie booth.

Siaoz liaoz. Can vomit blood...the STMD film. Someone quick sing me a song. Makes no sense. Can go join Xiu Wei in her nosense land already. Nosense = senseless = nonsense. Wahahahaha...

[edited at 4.04pm]
I'm hungry. Just wolfed down a honey chicken pau. Makes me start thinking about cake *result of watching too much of "Antique Cake Shop"*. Kekkii...kekkii... Hideaki! And that funny fella...the "Kageko". Still feeling hungry. Bleargh. *shakes head*
I guess I'll be in school till the lab closes. We're editing our STMD film. Long process...
[edited]
This is how I will be entertaining myself for the next freakin 45 minutes. With no particular subject to talk about in mind. No happenings to report on. Nothing. Nil. Zilch.
They are rushing for their project deadline which is tomorrow. My rushing only starts after ADID lecture. Wonderful.
Oh well, might as well do some publicity here. TP's Japanese Cultural Group cuisine subcomm will be selling cookies for St Valentine's Day. There will be a booth set up from tomorrow till the 10th for cookie tasting and order placing. Cookie flavour is supposed to be apricot and something. Forgot what it was liaoz.
Arts and Entertainment subcomm...the one I'm in, will be screening the movie "Moon Child" on St Valentine's Day at LT26 (Engineering school) at 11am. It's free of charge for members of JCG...just remember to wear/bring your tee. $1 for all other students. Actors in the movie include Hyde, Gackt and Wang Lee Hom. Hehe...Sis is dying to watch this coz there's her beloved Hyde and Gackt.
Alrighty...enough publicity. Back to my boring life. *scans brain for interesting topic* Result/s: ...DOTS... *followed by* ---STATIC---
Amazing.

[edited at 12.28am]Just came home from watching "Peter Pan" with Sis. And that satisfies my craving to watch a movie. Met Ling and her boyfriend.
I had a feeling that Mr Syed and his Heartbeat Percussion were going to perform at Chingay 2004. And yep...they did. And yes...I missed it. Bleargh.

It's not Lord of the Rings...it's Lord of the Bengs! It's not one ring to rule them all...it's one ringtone to hoot them all! If you bought this week's copy of 8 Days, I bet the last page would have you rolling on the floor with laughter. Funny how Singaporeans like to poke fun at the Ah Bengs.
Can't think of anything more to talk about. Perhaps will edit later on...

i am who i am
Just some thoughts I had last night...some rants.You think you understand me inside out? Well, I can safely say you don't. You can't read my thoughts. You can't feel what I feel. So don't judge me. I may be more fortunate than you are, but I don't want to be known as a rich miss. I only want to be known as an ordinary girl just like anyone else. Just like you, I didn't choose to be born into this family. God did.
Another thing I dislike is people accusing me of something I'm not. It only goes to show how well you know me or not. Choose your words wisely. Be tactful. Don't worry...it took me 14 years to finally realise this.
Enough ranting...
Just came home from dinner at Oriental hotel. It was kinda like a pre-celebration thingy for Dad's birthday. Actually he was hoping that Desmond could join us. But Desmond's not feeling well too.
And as usual...I kinda slept the whole day off. With the company of my moo moo and monkey. Comfy bed. Wahahahahaha...
