Stop and Stare

Boohoo yet another day at work. Third day of work and it can get nerve wrecking at times, when there’s nothing to do and I feel all guilty but have to look busy if not get scolded by some supervisors…made new friends look forward to lunch everyday!! Haha.

After work I just nua at home, like so cui, haiz I haven’t even read the books or watched the dramas and movies I’ve listed in my pretty diary. What about USS, what about Titanic exhibition, what about primary school friends’ meetup, what about Zheng II outing? And I’m so so so so so so sad that I most likely won’t be going overseas :’( not even a cruise, a short getaway. Ugh.

For now, I’ll work hard and be contented with the few dramas I’m watching! Oh there’s a nice lady in office who was from XMS, cool! She’s nice, haha Peiyan stalked her on FB.

Okay better read my Seventeen now so I can exchange with Peiyan for Teenage!

Can’t wait to go karaoke, eat and shopmwith mom, Jiarui and Aunty Siew Ken!!

晚安！:D

Muddled

Reallyyyyy damn tired. Reached home at 1am after prom last night. It was good I must say, but the food can be improved Used my cam, hehe! Didn’t work out very well, blur, dark and so on, but I’m getting accustomed. It has cool effects too. Must admit I didn’t take many photos, as what I expected too, and many people say so too. But sometimes, we keep thinking of spamming photos for MEMORIES. Then how about THAT moment? Just capturing that beautiful moment with your heart? These fond memories will not fade and disappear like photos, so I think we should learn to just enjoy and cherish that special moment which can never be erased, instead of furiously snapping photos. That’s the difference between 记念and 留念…

Today after meeting Emily to return her her bag and get my mom’s shoes, Jolyn and I went to Orchard! watched 那些年!! Finally. Haha after eating lunch at 313, we walked to Cineleisure to buy tickets (seriously, I hate this stupid NC16 thing okay. And the fact that my birthday takes so bloody long to arrive. The year counts, doesn’t it?!) then headed to Taka and Kino (so many books to read!!) followed by 313 again to buy 贡茶. First time drinking, they had a promotion, 1 for 1! So we each paid $1.25 for milk tea

The movie was sooooo awesome. No words can describe how ecstatic I feel after watching it. Haha. Returned home after that.

AHHHHHHHH I’m starting work tomorrow and I’m nervous! Took a long time to decide what to wear >:( I really appreciate the school uniform now, though it’s like 一成不变, at least I don’t have to fret about whether my dressing is appropriate!! Have to wake up at 7am tomorrow…

I was so shocked when I first knew about Mrs Yeap’s passing on twitter. Everyone is saying RIP, but like what some people say, why do we only know how to express our gratitude when she is gone? To be honest, I didn’t really enjoy her music lessons, but in upper sec, I came to understand her words. She doesn’t remember me, but sometimes I see her at the bus stop. I don’t know, when I saw her alone, waiting for the bus, my heart sank. She is not what she seems, that fierce, strict teacher. I know she is a good teacher. And during O’s, she wished Wenyuan and I all the best with a smile. When she was walking towards us, I already knew she would do that. And I reciprocated, I said thank you with the utmost sincerity, because I was touched, touched by her spirit of a teacher – a teacher who does not only talk to her own students. Every student of Xinmin was her student and she loved them, loved us. Thank you Mrs Yeap, I know I am in no position to say anything, the choir members should be the ones closest to you, but I will never forget you, a great teacher.

Goodnight.

The Stadium Adventure

Heh my mood has greatly improved so here goes my second post of the day

Was trying to finish writing the letters but felt lethargic (headache hadn’t disappeared) and slept for around 2h. Felt cold and body was warm, like the sucky feverish feeling, so I slept more but also became more groggy. Then dad returned home and forced me to go to the stadium for a walk. Sigh that’s how inactive I am, been hibernating since the start of this year. Lazy me always finds excuses to not exercise, homework, mid years, prelims then O’s. Oops but better now than never!

Okay the main point is at the stadium, I saw a handsome guy doing sit ups at the fitness corner and I told my mom, but she didn’t see him clearly. Later on there was this guy jogging with a girl, and I thought it might be him. Cos he and the girl were jogging, they were always ahead of us so we couldn’t see his face. Mom suddenly suggested walking backwards and I felt it was weird, though not wrong, but we would be facing everyone, like they were jogging/walking towards us. Then we stopped near the start/finish line and waited for the guy to run past. We finally saw his face! He isn’t the “sit ups” guy but quite good looking too too bad, seems like he has a girlfriend. Mom thinks he’s quite suave too

Moral of the story: I should be more motivated to exercise at the stadium. Haha! That’s what dad says too. oh another thing, there was a toned and tanned guy sitting at the grandstand like a statue, as if wanting everyone to admire his six pack -_-
I was so shy when I was walking towards the grandstand to get water…and before leaving the stadium, the soles of my sports shoes almost came off, flapping there whenever I walked so I became a penguin. Furthermore, the soles were glued back befor. 为什么正当我要重出江湖的时候,这么不幸的事要发生啊?!

Should be going to sleep soon, ciao!

Hehehahahoho

I’m yawning now -_- I guess now that it’s the hols, the vicious cycle starts again – sleep at 1.30am, wake up at 10am. This might help me get enough sleep, but in fact, it doesn’t. This just jumbles my body clock and I’m suffering from a bad headache now, dammit.

OKAY NOW LET ME TELL YOU MY WONDERFUL ADVENTURE AT FAR EAST PLAZA YESTERDAY. I was really pekcek cos I had not found my prom dress, so was thinking of buying from Far East after signing the contract. But in the morning, Jean told me there were some changes and the time to sign contract was changed; she would call me again to tell me when t go down. I was kinda emo-ing at home while waiting for her call, so I watched In Time With You and I cried cos one part was really sooooo touching. That made me feel worse anyway, In Time With You is by far the best Taiwan drama I’ve watched, cos it is just so damn realistic and the friendship between Cheng You Qing and Li Da Ren is simply captivating and makes me wanna have such a male best friend. Seriously, imagine a male friend who knows and treats you better than your boyfriend, wouldn’t you fall in love with him?! Plus the cast and crew are very close, and this gives rise to such an amazing production. (Shit I sidetracked)

Yeah, so I travelled to Far East alone, mom said she would join me after lunch, she took half day off. I combed the entire 3rd and 4th floor till I almost vomited. Seriously, I walked past the rows of shops so freakingggg many times and even ventured into those in the far ends and corners. Noted a few shops which had pretty dresses and continued walking and walking. I didn’t want to go into the shops and check out their collections cos I hate the shop assistants/owners staring at me, and I don’t have the guts to walk out just like that. In the end I was really damn bored (even stayed in the toilet for a while) that I decided to be gutsy and see what the stores had, to save time, so that when mom came, we could just zoom in on a few shops. FINALLY, one of the shops I had in mind provided me with what I had been looking for. Tried dresses in other shops but didn’t go well, was really sick and tired so I made up my mind on that particular shop, albeit a little ex. But I’m damn happy, bought dresses cos mom felt I looked good in another dress too (which I also like, but not more than what I chose) so maybe I can wear the other one for my cousin’s wedding

Next we looked for wedges and clutch. None of the heels/wedges were to my liking, so I’ll be wearing the pair I bought at Nex the other time with mom Oh but I bought a pair of casual shoes for $9.90, YAYYYY!! Walked down to Tangs but didn’t find a suitable clutch…worst case scenario, I’ll use Aunty Siew Ken’s. Bt guess what? When I reached home last night and flipped through Seventeen, I saw a lovely clutch and where is it from? FAR EAST. Ugh doubt I’m returning there. Overall I’m still very happy hehehe.

Last night I tried nail marbling from the DIY section in Seventeen, but it was a failure cos only ONE of my nail varnishes can speed instantly in water :/ so there’s no point, I wanted to see the effect of various colours. I experimented with my left hand’s nails – pink as base then black polka dots alternate with black hearts. But my mom doesn’t like it, oh well, I think it’s a good effort haha. Think I’ll change to a simpler design for prom. Heheh I’m not revealing my prom dress here though of course, as usual I excitedly took photos with the dresses yesterday

Btw I’m signing contract on Mon! Working from 28 Nov to 24 Dec, at Yellow Pages building which is near my house ^^ at first was at Teck Ghee CC in AMK. Can’t wait to start work, everyone is like working now. But that means it’ll be difficult to go out! Needless to say, I’m not going overseas and dad’s moving office so he’ll be very busy.

List of things I HAVE TO do:

-Finish clearing the stack of newspapers in my room (sigh, I’m becoming like dad, but his STACKS of newspapers are in the living room)
-Sort out the clothes I don’t want
-Sort out the soft toys I don’t want
-Pack my study table and drawers
-Sort out the books I don’t want
-*URGENT* finish writing letters

Haiz looks like I won’t have time to watch ALL the dramas and movies I’ve listed down in my diary :C

Bye, going to buy my Samsung dual LCD camera later!!!!!

Bliss

 

 

Yayyy finally posted photos! Above are the photos from Saturday’s wedding dinner at Carlton Hotel. Wedding of my grandaunt’s granddaughter. Haha sounds confusing but when I was young, I was really close to my grandaunt cos she took care of me for 3 years I think, I even knew her family. I used to know her granddaughter, and I even have a photo of her carrying me, in my baby photo album! Haiz but I kinda forgot her already, but during the wedding she said hi to me so I felt very happy Though the ballroom wasn’t very big, the decorations were pretty and the event was well organised! Awww suddenly have the urge to get married, haha ludicrous. But seriously, the couple was so sweet…and I wonder if the MC, a super stylish, gorgeous lady is a friend of the couples’, cos she sang really well, together with a guy who also seems professional, and if they aren’t friends, I think it should be quite expensive to hire them.

 

Oh yeah I wore the dress I bought from Haji Lane! Hehe But my bros said it resembles SCGS’ uniform and yesterday I saw for myself that their uniform is very similar to my dress :O Took many photos with mom cos we were dressed properly! Haha.

 

Can’t wait for my cousin’s wedding when I can go “behind the scenes” and sit at a table closer to the front during the dinner!

Who is Me?

Went for a job interview today, actually it was just submitting job resume to some job agency and the person asked us what kind of jobs we’re interested in/like to do. Supposed to have a job interview tomorrow, but I don’t even know the details. My dad talked to me about this, and I realized maybe I was too quick in finding a job such that I may get cheated. He’s right, it’s better to work for a company that is reputable and at least will pay you on time, albeit a lower salary, than one that is like quite unknown though supposedly promises a higher pay. Come to think of it, I don’t even know what I’ll be doing, perhaps I was really too rash…ugh what is this man?!

I understand dad’s intention of finding me a job with that Jap restaurant cos he knows someone from there and there is an assurance that they’re reliable. Promised him that I’ll tell him about whatever job I’m taking up, and he told me to look out in classified ads and ask him if that particular company is reliable. Thanks, dad for the advice

Today, on Monday, 14 November 2011, O levels are officially over. I’ve been anticipating this day for so longggggg (btw this is the 21st day since start of O’s) but now, my heart feels heavy cos I’m worrying about the results I didn’t do well for today’s MCQ and I have a really bad feeling about the other subjects…unbelievably, there’s not 1 subject that I’m confident of scoring for. I hate this wait, I hate this insecurity, but there’s nothing I can do. I know, no use fretting over this when I can’t change anything, but I’m just like that. Even for PSLE I kept having nightmares about my results. It sucks that so many people are such smart asses. I hate it when I get tense and nervous easily.

Think I have split personality, cos on one hand, I’m gregarious, always laughing and smiling, but on the other hand, I know the seriousness of certain things. I have certain outlooks on life that maybe no one else can understand. Sometimes, I don’t know who I am.

Okay back to today – had a fun time with the girls at Orchard! Hehe. Have so many photos to post, including today’s and Saturday’s wedding dinner.

Back to watching Office Girls/In Time With You ; till then!

P.S. I’m always lazy to remove my contacts :C

TEEHEE

Muscles aching badly

Went shopping with Jy, Alison, Leiyuen, Liya, Shermaine and Peiyan at Bugis! Haha like going out with the class girls more and more ^^ It was a last minute decision so I chionged home (haiz, drawback of living in Toa Payoh) to change and wear contacts. Met the girls at Nex, we were supposed to take a photo at 11.11 but I missed it Haha settled it by setting Shermaine’s cam to 11.11. I thought we were having lunch at Nex, so I tapped out at the station, but had tap in to meet Leiyuen at the NEL side and supposedly go to Bugis. Turns out we ate at Nex and that WALK from the circle line end to NEL cost me $0.36!! Wth I thought there’d be no charge since I didn’t board the MRT -_-

Had a nice lunch at Mad Jack, then Jy came to find us. Long journey to Bugis! Wanted to take bus after a train ride but the bus took so long and the rain seemed to destroy the pathetic bus stop, so we just took MRT to Bugis. On the way, I told the girls about my nightmare ( Can’t mention it here, totally ludicrous. So sorry to the person involved. Haiz I keep having dreams, what’s worse is that some are horrifying.

Shopped at Bugis village! Bought the same top as Peiyan, paid $7.50 each. Hehe, been looking for this kind of top!! And the more I jalan-ed, the more I got tempted by the clothes. Okay I shall list the clothes I’m hunting for:

-Knitted baggy top
-Checkered top
-Denim shorts (can’t be too short, that’s the trouble!)
-Jeans, preferably quite tight fitting
-Dress with lace overlay
-Long skirt (maybe with belt)
-Oversized tees for the laid-back look
-Blazer/military style jacket (not too thick)
-Jumpsuit/romper (never tried before)
-Maxi dress (might be too mature, just wishing to try)

Though we walked a lot, at least we explored almost the whole of Bugis village! >:) So happy for Ali, she got her prom dress! Whereas I only have a design in mind but don’t know where to get the dress, and without the dress, I can’t buy heels and clutch. There was this interesting stall selling crepes and looked yummy, so Lei and I shared a crispy crepe with banana and nutella! Damn nice.

Went o Bugis Junction thereafter and took neoprints! Woohoo I always get excited about taking neoprints the only thing I hate is the eye makeup they appears on us and turn us into pandas! Luckily they weren’t that obvious cos the neoprints are quite small. The rest left while Jy and I went to get her COLOURED LIPGLOSS haha. Wonder how it looks like on her!

Took MRT home and watched SEA games soccer match! Recently became interested, but I only watch when Singapore plays, ha so patriotic right! In the past I used to think, what’s so exciting about watching a bunch of men chasing a ball?! But that’s exactly the point! I screamed and shrieked for like countless times when the Lions always missed the goal by a teeny weeny bit, and when the Lions struggle to not lose possession of the ball – the anticipation and adrenaline rush is beyond words. And now I’m proud to say, I understand more about the technicalities of the game My fave player is number 2, Safuwan Baharudin! One of the most consistent players, and is good looking! Also like Gabriel (forgot his surname), Khairul Nizam and Hariss Harun.

One last thing: how do girls with short hair look good with hairbands and hair clips with ribbons on it? Haven’t been able to figure out…haiz all these seem to be exclusively for girls with long manes :C

Hokayyy gtg…we’re almost there!!

Dammit

Currently slumped on my bed typing this out. Oh freak, there seems to be not a single day where I walk with a spring in my step after leaving school. Sucks man.

I WANNA SLEEP I HATE HEADACHES I FEEL SHITTYYYYY AHHHHHHHH

Those horrible dreams I have frighten me a great deal.

Just you wait.

Zzzzzzzzzz

Woke up a while ago after two naps *yawns* I’m really like a pig la, eat, read newspapers, watch TV programmes, headache then sleep.

Ahhhhhhhhh

Oh, did some research on my dream camera, heh. Don’t know why there’s such a big difference between two models of the Samsung dual LCDs camera, checked the specs but there’s not much difference. Really hope I can get the $299 one…maybe beg mom to pay for it first then return her the money after getting my pay?

Speaking of pay, I really need a job :O a few days ago, dad had lunch with my two bros at a Jap restaurant, then he told me he forgot to ask some people he knows from there like whether I can get a job there as a waitress…hmm, it’s not that I look down on waitresses, but I don’t have confidence in being one. Haha if I’m really despo, maybe I’ll just walk own Orchard Road and walk into which ever shop that requires manpower.

Almost forgot I had a weird dream just now!!! Oh my gosh so unbelievable. Dreamt that I got into SAJC and made a new friend who’s really hilarious, and she’s from SCGS. Later on I realized Emily and Honghai got into SAJC too, then I fet bad for not looking for Emily but spending so much time with my new friend. And, my class was sort of having a tour round the school, and walked through somewhere that links the swimming pool and basketball court (something like that) and I was so shy to see so many hunks!!! Haha so far fetched. Haiz doubt I can even get into SA ((

Don’t know what to do now, bye!

OUCH

Think I’m suffering from throat infection :’(( the intense agony of swallowing saliva and the pain that comes along with it. Damn, could be the fries I ate yesterday. Haiz, ultimate-bingeing-gone-wrong >:(

Plus I had a bad headache and slept for 2h after returning from breakfast. Feel little better now. Please please please I don’t want fever! Orz

Have to sleep early tonight.

P.S. A few more papers to go!
