CNY 猪 4!! （初四）

So..i had to come back to hall for chingay today..sometimes it is such a drag..anyhoo, i had a blast for CNY! here's a preview..

CHUXI: There was the usual trip down to the temple at waterloo street to stick the first incense of the year and to pray for a good year..Sometimes tradition fuddles the mind. We were squashed in a humongous queue in front of the urn, with striped tape all around and people with loudspeakers to keep check. It was super smoky and full of people.. and still rmr ge saying why can't we have smokeless incense like the Japanese and that with the amount of smoke garnered that night, we could have killed the Earth twice..or something. also, he was saying that sadly, this tradition will only end after 50 years..I'm okay with it though..really. I love tradition! It has that authenticky feel and will be the source of many of my nostalgic memories in future..

But i got burnt that night though..while trying to stick my joss stick into the urn..Singaporeans can be so uncourteous. Everyone was just fighting to hit the urn first and get to the temple..i didnt' even manage to stick my joss stick in properly! Saw the whole episode later on tv--the reporter stood right next to the urn and was shouting to the camera..stupid act in my opinion. It was being reported at midnight somemore..when everyone is almost about desperate to be the first to stick the FIRST joss stick into the urn when the clock strikes. As if there aren't already enough people fighting to reach the urn..he just has to block it!! It was kinda scary though. when it hit midnight..like helpers were poised in white gloves to haul the joss sticks out just after they touch the urn.. ew yes, Tradition does fuddle the mind.

THe night before CNY, me n sis stayed up the night so that daD n Mom can live long long!! not fogetting ahMa n Ah Kong too! haaha..i slept at four and her, five. lol sis was saying they can live forever liao..haha okay we were actually pia-ing hana kimi on youtube so maybe not counted eh. hehs.

Cousins!!
CHU ONE: We visited the usual places again..oh there was picture taking of the entire fam..kinda one of those things big families like mine do..we set off at 1pm this year..super late compared to the previous years of 8am..maybe its cos we missed the toapayoh uncle's house cos he passed away last yr :( At night Auntie Constance and the Sinma staff came over..won $27 bucks at banluck! haha so happy..

CHU TWO: It was Momma's side this time, and the food at ah kim's house was fabulous as usual..ate alot!! so indulgent. but i lost all day two's winnings here!! :( At night we went over to Lance's house..and Yong Sheng entertained us with beer games..learnt a few new tricks!

CHU THREE: Was firmly set on studying..but ended up kboxing with the cousins..was fun though! but found out that sis actually sings better than me..boo. haha well i juz have to hone my hidden potential! :P At five, 04s41 came over!! i heart 04s41 to bits! It was super successful..17 peeps turned up, including marcus and lance, and so did sis's class! We celebrated Daryl's Dicky's, Ber's and SheE's bdays together, and it was really nice to catch up with everyone! I love the comfortable friendship that exists among the 41 peeps..everyone still had fun even though everyone hasn't seen everyone for sucha long time..haha. well here's some pics~~

pink toes, pink blisters, pinky n e brain.

I just painted my nails electric pink! aw man. can't believe it ain't what i thought it'd be..now i look like a freaking philipino maid!

Went shopping w the two fav male buds..and didn't step into a fitting room at all! AT ALL!! while they tried at least like 3 stuff each in diff stores, and got like two tops each or smth..Must have been my killer shoes man. look at them! innocently hiding my throbbing toes and bloodied blisters..and my neighb jiayi said that its normal! I just have to "wait til my feet grow hard skin" then it'll not be painful anymore..wahahha..so its true when they say u have to 'grow into' ur shoes/clothes!?

I kinda hobbled all the way home..couldn't take it halfway and told ma to get auntie christine to bring slippers over to the CC..ma brought e car over! haha and so i got a ride from the CC home..which is like, 20metres apart only..haha! shoulda worn my slippers man..rather comfort than image anytime..

btw, It's CNY!!! whee!! love the warmth of home and the family and friends gatherings! speaking of gatherings, sis and i met chen peiyi, Hannah, kim and Samantha koh yesterday on the way back to NUS..the four gals are our Pri sch friends..was a real pleasant surprise! i mean, 6CA has all but vanished into thin air..we've not really contacted anybody since like, sec2? the gals said they only recently met up the past 2 yrs..and it was really heartwarming to catch up in that small space of time..when we were rushing back to sch and them, rushing to chinatown in e middle of night to chill..how nice~ it just happened that they had planned to meet that day, and met us when we were gg up the NEL escalator, them gg down..

Hope we'd get a real gathering sometime in the 3mth holidays!! It was really good to know that in the span of 8 years, we've all grown and thru time, maybe those childish primary sch politics might have disappeared and that all of us could actually come together and then keep the friendship til we become 80years old, and form one of those taitai clubs u always see in crystal jade. Thats a really cool thought. To think the six of us weren't that close at all even in 6CA! it was juz a certain special Cannossian bond i guess.

okiedokie..shall stop here now. gotta wake up early to grab my PIANO bks in NUS which i stupidly left cos i totally forgot today's fri and that tml there's piano..the CNY mood's got to my head man. now i gotta drop by sch then go to Uncle Pritt's house which is so absurd cos i would lose my cuddly time w pigsy and blankie when i only have it once a week!! grr. ooh and mao called from HK just now!! that was so sweet..he might get me a Levi's or the converse shoes which i was eyeing!! that is, if he knows which one it is..anyhow it was still real sweet to call. HK's levi's on 50% sale! wish i was there..lol but wouldn't miss CNY w my boo for anything in e world~~~

Vday was fantastique! I guess cupid really heard my cry! *beams* we really didn't have any plans but it turned out really loving and satisfying.. Basically just basking in each other's company..yesyes, maybe this is what three years does to us.. we find common interests--eating, and favorite pasttimes--popcorn n movies..

haha ok i'll admit we still have major differences in interests and pasttimes(i.e. his LANning and my tv addiction) but then, he still rocks my world anyhows. :D i'M juz glad we got to spend this Vday together..plus the past two days too, actually. hahaaha..**happyhappy** It must be the food that we've had that's making me so high man. Ate super alot today! spent like, 90bucks on food? Crystal Jade lunch and Ichiban Boshi dinner!! *rubs belly* mmmz. satisfied. lols, and we had a loveberry pizza fm Pizzahut on Monday too! super indulgent. that was like, at 9pm..after i got two pairs of new shoes for $32! haha..that was a lucky shot. and the sweet boy came over yesterday afternoon..i love it when he specially gives me his time..it means so much more than the 3 special words..

Right. gonna bathe and start doing something now! been neglecting school work. *shakes head* Happy Vday peeps~~

Lovin's life and Life is lOviN~

Just returned from Changi to send Xingqi off to Melb..the geogers, yeanching and kaiwen and of course Dicky, were there.. yes..we were lamenting, time really really flies!! its so cliche but how true..ZC and Daryl, me n Mingli were reminicing, how we've known each other for 3years, and that in one week, Daryl will hit the Big Two's first, and then we'll all follow after..so old!! tsktsk..

I commented that hey we are only 20, and here we are complaining..
And then we laughed at how we'd lament when we are 60.."ya, not too bad lar, not in wheelchair yet/Haven't jing guan cai yet"..it was kinda nostalgic, for me especially when a group of vIctorians in uniform passed by..I miss the uniformed, carefree-if-you-ignore-the-exams days.. the airport was just one of our study places..in which didnt'really work that effectively afterall..haha.. anyways, dicky looked kinda teary..I do hope the two of them'd stay strong enough to surpass the distance! The poor guy..heard he took 4days off to fly w her but his mom didn't allow due to the cost..thats super sweet though..and they got rings!! so cute~ oh yes, kaiwen turned up w his gf!! haha were WE surprised..she's pretty though..happy for him :D

Actually i wish i was the one flying away to a new life..it'd be a nice change. but then four years is really long..i'd miss my boy too..oh, of course and my momma and dadsie poo too..right. i hope Xq settles in nicely and enjoys the view of hotties and surfer dudes! it'd be nice if she get a little tan herself..haha i'm envious!!
wells ok i better get down to doing work..Vday's tml but there's marketing tutorial and proj discussion!! boo. such a damper~ :(

Cupid let your arrow fly~

Whoo..last weekend's been busybusybusy..
went for hall production with the block, and then the best part was after that, when Shiyun drove us out to Holland V for supper..The six floor gals, Debbie, Shiyun, Cherlyn, and me had a blast! We had a one-for-one italian meal, and then there was dimsum at Crystal Jade's..woo!! super satisfied and high! Wanted to let Dana try the different cuisines..that gal went to HK and didnt' have Dim sum!?! hahaa..we were all appalled..right. wait. break to go sing bday song for Liren..midnight liao.

Aw man, was made to pass this choco stick w Liren downstairs for his bday..Cblk style! hahaha..ok la, my first time here..onz. then again, if only it was the other guy starting w L! ahha hmm..fantasies. Just came back from Marina sq w Mao see, and was like wearing pretty when they dragged me to do it..lol~ hmm..Vday's in two days! I really have no plans in mind..and i guess he most likely doesn't too..is that what three years does to people? What'll happen in 30? *shakes head* well. i hope all turns out romantic and sweet..no, actually it'd be nice if we've reached the point where we've found a different kinda love..such that Vday won't have to be a hustle but won't be a struggle to keep the flame alive too..It's weird..think i'm in the weirdest relationship ever. three years yet we still don't know if we are in love!? haha i dunnooo i dunooo. He has the weirdest perceptions ever. and i thought i was the weird one. geez. anyway, love is in the air this season..cupid please hear my cry....and let, your arrow flyyy..straight to, my lover's heart for meee~~~

Cool picture glass!~

Cool Slideshows

lol was so happy to find this while blogsurfing..it's damn cool! ok testing testing.. there're other kinds of pictrailers too. whee! anyway, was surfing ard and read sis's neighbour, hailin's blog..right now she's in canada on sep..gosh. she's having the time of her life and i really hope i'll in be like her next next sem, or the next next next sem..Theo got her helsinki sep place already! lucky lucky her.. Meanwhile i guess i shld juz mug hard and get my A's first..thinking of earning some bucks too at e same time though, cos i heard dad isn't doing well. sighs. Hoping for the best! i hope dad just gives me 5 years. 5 years to do what i want in uni and then i'll help out at e co. *shakes head* 5 years and he'd be sixty..i hope mah baby n i work something out for the long run too..though i think he plans only for himself..gee. meaning i have to start planning for myself too before i hit my BIG Two's.. so, so fast.

Btw i watched The devil wears prada last night with ter in my room..I sooo wanna work in somewhere like Runway fashion or somewhere challenging and on-the-go! New york's like wuperduper cool..they say you've gotta work in New York at least once in your life. I really hope i do! Actually anywhere with the seasons would do for me..S'pore's a really boring fashion place! can't wear those pretty coats and scarves..and everyone's kinda fashion-apathetic. butbut. good at times too cos sometimes i'm juz too lazy to dress. haha!

feeling sticky and dirty after chingay prac now..and i shld start on my econs tutorial soon!! (X_X)

yoga-lover, fresh-faced me

woo! hot yoga rocks my socks! went down today to TRUE YOGA for my second complimentary session..chose to do hot yoga this time, and truly, it was exhilarating! haha..okay for my body and soul, at least. I am sooo tempted to sign up for the one-year plan!! except that it is one year's worth of any of the activities and i have to make sure nothing stops me from attending lesson every week..hmm. which is like actually possible.. once a week shld be manageable..but then again. school hasn't FULLY started, so i don't really know if i should risk it and sign up.. oh well. i'll see how things go..$88 bucks per month is no joke..plus..if i continue staying in hall... sighs. expenses, expenses.. anyhoo..i got talent scouted!! hahahaaha food for my ego.. went down after yoga to the office at taka, and the thing is, i am entitled to sign up for five FREE courses teaching makeup, catwalk, posing, etc etc..how cool is that? it kinda is the one that my cuz emmie went for..the catch is. OF course money is involved. i gotta buy $500 worth of beverly hills makeup..which is like. oh no. cos i already have newly-bought make up!!!! though yes, it is no where near beverlyhills standard (think Thailand cheap makeup) haha but it is sufficient for a makeup-for-clubbing-and-formal-dinners-only girl like me.. hm..thinking if i shld join..must reply by this sat!! hope dad n mom allow though..ma just said she thinks 500quid is not worth for the make up..and says the whole thing is a scam the makeup company set up to sell their pdts. bleahs. okok..gotta stop right now..was in e middle of cheering for KR's badminton match..exciting!! woohoo!! ok gg back downstairs to cheeer..go KR!! (:

xxxpls look after my fragile heart!!xxx

I asked him if he loved me yesterday. He laughed and said, "Just a little bit"..pointing with his thumb and second finger..and i was horrified and i said, "HUH! so little!!"..he laughed again and said "ok, abit more..and his thumb inched lower.."I like u this much, then i like v6 this much ok?" with his thumb halfing the length of his finger..haha..ok at least he said he has more love for me than the guys..but then again. why would e guys need love?(X_X) why do i feel so disatisfied? shouldn't love not be this greedy? but i guess every girl wants her boy to love her unconditionally ain't it? ultimately every girl just wants to be loved. we quarrelled at swensons before that..no. not really quarrel..honestly he told me of his plans and i just felt so sad, the sadness turned to anger.. it's so unnerving; the fact that he still doesn't understand me til now..stupid boy. stop blaming it on your character! it is just another excuse to lean on. and then u forget about it and then nothing changes..urh! sometimes i think he deserves a whack on the head for being so thick..or maybe guys are ALL this thick in the head.. He told me he'd be leaving with his dad on a round-the-world trip..and then his parents would be shifting back and he wouldn't have much time for me anymore.. how nice. and so.i guess i'm supposed to smile and be happy for him? i mean. okay..so tell me about your plans and make it sound as if i don't play a part in any of it. yeah so what if that's true? it hurts all the more BECAUSE it is true. he just dont get it seriously..and then i got angry and didn't speak. AND he got angry and gave me attitude. wth seriously! whose fault is it? right. sighs. so since it turned out that way..i gave in since i didn't want to be angry anymore..what's the point when I'M supp to be mad and he's SUPP to make it feel all right again but then he gets mad instead? argh. ok so someone has to make it right.right? i'm glad i didn't let anger make me walk away..stupid cow. i almost did. good thing it turned out that way though. he knows i care. i hope i didn't just fall in love with him all over again.

I'm SCARIER than exams.

haha..theo dropped by today, and i felt really much better from all that studying with her company. though i admit i did only one chapter of work today. i am so gonna sleep past 3am again tonite! :( yup but it felt gd to reconnect w an old friend again, and we laughed alot, esp when i brought her over to sis's room.. she's good man, that gal, so unstressed as compared to me! learnt much from her attitude..she's only half done studying but she's confident she'd reach her A's..haha! i shld start unwringing myself too! and prob psycho myself into thinking like her..i'm gg to reach my As man. the bell curve might work in my favour. aah. 9days to go..


if you're scared, be scarier than what's scaring you! -thumper-

tEar me from my books..

Just read a few people's blogs, and here i am, writing again..haha, maybe it's just anything to get me away from work man! ANYTHING. well, feeling pretty nostalgic now..read bao's, and daph's and bernice's and norman's and daryl's n yc's..oh man. haa..yea i WAS trying to escape studying..anwway.. how my friends have progressed and moved on in their lives.. it's really amazing to know that somehow, we're all like in the same kinda situation--but in all the three diff uni's here..miss hanging out w my friends as a class..uni's no more class-like but more individualistic instead..not that i really hate it, but i do prefer a class situation cos in uni it really IS hard to make a whole bunch of really gd friends..it just changes every semester! will really really miss Maui gals and Jieling, Gaston n e rest..

today..whoa. i really didn't do much work man!! compared to e past few days..juz slept n slept..lols i think i'm really burntout. i don't think i've ever studied so much consecutively! like, had 24hr studying periods..12pm to 6am man! ok, not really 24hr. but then it's like another few hrs of sleep, then study all over again.. this is wad u get when u're not consistent! haha! i SO totally won't do this next sem again man! now that i noe wad to expect... killer lar this week. cannot cannot. TUrning reclusive already lar. i've shut myself up for too long. I CAN'T WAIT FOR EXAMS TO BE OVER!! it's one more week man. gal yoo can do it. and then.. it'd be e commmsioning parade n ball! whee!~~ and xmas!! and thailand shopping w e guys.. wahoo..hahaa..okok. back to work.....
