Went to Dbl O again yesterday! Wat a difference... Had so much fun yesterday! ^^

It was a day full of upheavals and changes in plans..

It started from the planned shopping trip with Jaime... Poor Jaime had a fall and couldn't come.. (Sayang, u ok le ma?) So i ended up shopping alone, and glad i was to have gone shopping.. haha.. Bagged 3 tops and 1 pants.. =p The sales gal was really nice, and kept bringing me stuff to try, even brought out a new item which wasn't even on the shelves yet.. Hee.. Bought a turqoise and beige top... Turqoise leh.. Me.... I muz've been having a fever.. haha...

Then Gigi called, and from meeting 1) direct for shopping to 2) meet later for little bit of shopping, to 3) meet her friend for movie.... haha...

Then i have to go up Fort Canning still to help out a bit at my sis's event.. Hee... got a lot of photos this time! Be putting some of my creations up soon... ^^ Ya, but anyway, be'cos of the event, i was late for meeting Gigi.. =( Ya, should've seen me, what a sight, running down the hill... Felt like Jack and Jill..... @@

So finally, met Gigi & her fren Richard for a movie at The Cathay. Watched the Lakehouse... Lovely lovely show... so romantic.. *blissful...*

oK, and finally, the finale of the night, Dbl O... The songs were really nice yesterday! Started with retro, and gradually on to r& b... Our fav!!! heehee...

Dancing
dancing
dancing....
^^

Mercedes Lackey fans out there will remember a famous Shin-an-in proverb, "For one to be a doormat, it is necessary that one do the walking, and one allow to be walked all over"...

Hopefully, one dear to me will no longer be a doormat, and truly be the strong woman that she wishes to be. Hugs dearie, you have my support k!!!

"If the job you want done requires quick decision making, don't get a Libran for it. he or she doesn't like having to make decisions quickly.

How You Life Your Life

You seem to be straight forward, but you keep a lot inside. You say whatever is on your mind. Other people's reactions don't phase you. You prefer a variety of friends and tend to change friends quickly. You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable.

How Do You Live Your Life?

Went to the Ballet Under the Stars tonight with my mum. It was really quite good... Sister dearest, i took lots and lots of video for you!! Hee hee... I'm gonna try to mail it to you - look out for it in ur email oh... =D

It was quite a novel experience, being my first time going to this, even though Ballet Under the Stars has been around for quite some time.. I'll probably go again next year if there are kakis to go with.. =) I dunno.. Poeple who will appreciate dance and music ba..

Cos really, the main factor that really affects one's enjoyment of the dance is really the people around you... The group of people sitting in our vicinity were really irritating actually. They kept getting up and down, and moving here and there. Like my mum says, they are not there for the dance at all. Just to go there and to "be seen"... Like so totally wrong place lor... Sigh... (So the devil in me was like thinking, "please just stand again, i am so going to throw my slipper..." Then the more common-sensical side of me will be thinking, "ignore, ignore.. tahan~!" hahaha..)

Anyway, will probably go over to Fort Canning again tml to help my sis take some photos of the event, after my gym.. ^^ See how it goes ba.. Maybe i'll try to get some photos of nice hand or face paintings! Some of the helpers there are really quite good!

Before the event, went to Pasta Mania @ Plaza to have dinner, shopped around for a bit too. Oh my, there is this shop in Dhoby Ghaut Exchange that sells such nice clothes! I'm going back there tml!!! Hahaha... Just now didn't have time to get any shopping done...

Joke of the day...

Her: Do you have a vacation for a massage?

Translation: Do you have vacancies for a massuse? @_@

Went clubbing yesterday with Gigi.. Hmm.. muz seriously consider if it's worth going to dbl o on Wednesdays anymore... The crowd's like quite weird.. Heard from the taxi uncle at the end of the day that the ship's in from the US navy, thus the caucasian and negro crowd... But even then, there were like quite a bit of uncles also leh... Time to go somewhere else for Weds... ^o~

Tot i saw a fren yesterday actually, but think he didn't recognize me... hahaha....

Went for the suntan le...
Super bright sun, nice and hot...

But....
Like no reaction leh... =( Still as pale as ever...

Looks like i muz get the suntan oil le... hahaha...

After the suntan, we went home at 5pm plus.. After chatting with a fren till 8pm plus - i fell asleep... Luckily i had set my alarm clock already - i slept till 8am the next day! So shiok!!! hahaha.... Very long never sleep so long hours le! ^^

____________________________________
If you don't mind reading chinese, go to this website - it's really interesting what they say about U!!!

lalala... goin to suntan tml...So excited! Haven't been to Sentosa for quite a bit of time.

Just gonna take a break, and ignore everything... Haven't met this fren for a long long time le.. hope everything turns out fine, hope the sun will be shining brightly tml afternoon... *pray pray*

Went to help out at my sis's event yesterday, helping out at the face painting station. Hee hee.. so fun! I really like to do this kind of stuff.. The little kids are so cute! And asking very nicely for what ballerina they want, not like some spoilt brats i can remember when i did this for the Zoolympics... If only i could take some photos of my creations... ^^ But i think the mother will be scared la, if i suddenly say want to take picture of her daughters.. Hahaha....

Busy busy busy...

Stone.. Slept only at 3 am yesterday.....

brain very slow today..

Meeting Jean for dinner later - haven't seen her for such along time le... =)

Sometimes, the last thing you hear before you go to sleep leaves such a deep impression that it becomes the first thing you remember when u wake up... Xing, i tell u ah.. It's all your fault - i was happily going to fall asleep le la, then i remember wat u say and i cannot sleep le, in the end wake up and go and take a long bath..... -_-" Sigh...

Then even better, when i try to go back to sleep, i dreamt that somebody was chasing me, then it became a horror movie i was watching, then become a nightmare about work!!! How to sleep like that???

So wet hair + cannot sleep = typing away in the middle of the night...
...When i should be waking UP in a couple of hours!!!

_________________________________________
I think the nightmare about work is got reason one la - because of my boss yi4 ju4 "Never mind", now i have to spend an extra week keying in the packages all over again!!! Long long story, and the moral of the story is that - "Stand by your ideas and thinking, and be willing to let wat u are thinking be known and understood. Don't assume people know what they are talking about. Get your point across."

Anyway, there goes my week of rest before school reopens.....

I think the technician also got nightmare about this....... =(

What my Birthday Says about Me

You're a practical and naturally cautious person, so you should look for a special person to be your lover. Your passion could sometimes lead you to go for someone who has nothing in common with you. Although in a sombre moment you're ambitious and you look for quality, when passion blinds you, you can't seem to see straight.

Hmmm... You should have seen how my darling Jaime was nodding her head and saying "ya ya ya ya ya!" .... -_-"

Go to this address and check it out.. I think this is something really meaningful, and i hope that all of us can play a part in helping these pets... http://wearepets.blogspot.com/

I'm goin crazy...

I really don't understand how these people can be so careless with the sales figures!!!

It's like, she did the settlement for Nets, so obviously she knew there are sales paid with Nets, how can the end of day figures not include Nets!!!

And it's only the small unit, with only 5 therapists there, how messy can it get???

It's not the first time. That's the most irritating thing!!!

The only reason this is happening, is that they are in such a rush to get home - not that they LURVE to go home in the first place - that they do a slipshod job. So, win already lor. I have to clear the shit???? No way lor.

Totally fed up.

Finally!!! Pirates of the Caribbean!!!

Finally got to watch it! So happy! Many many thanks to a "star" who accompany me to watch it even though he has already watched it once... =) And even though he has to wake up at 5am+ tml, still watch the late show, and send me home... *grinz*

Still very excited now! Johnny Depp is so cute in this show!!! I mean, i don't normally go gaga over actors - in fact one of my closest friends ever said i'm not entirely normal? I don't salivate over those hollywood actors in general... But Johnny Depp as Capt Jack Sparrow is totally, Totally charming, so cool... Portrays a free soul really well, to do wat he wants, and so resourceful (even though it may not be done in an entirely correct way~)! All i can say is - what a Man...

Ok, anyway, got a small present from Xing, for my belated b'day present.. Hee.. really really belated ah.. My this year's b'day coming le! =P But no matter how, 'you3 xin1 le4'! Thank you so much... I really like it.. I might use it one day... Might la! Maybe the starfish is real... For the time being, it will just be my decoration, k! Hehe..

The next movie on my list?
- Basic Instinct 2!! -
..
...
....
Going to be working 6 day week for the 3rd week running le... I'm going to die...
....
...
..
I love bodycombat day!!!

Very excited.. I'm looking forward to September! Going to watch the Portrait of an Empress with my fren.. Bought the tics already!!! Heard so much about it... And it's going to be my first time watching a show in the Esplanade - haha...

________________________________________

A friend of mine just introduced this new program which can help me build a webpage without learning html.. Hee.. gonna try it out.. Cos really cannot la, i simply don't have the talent for it.. Yes, Jimmy, i admit it to everyone! =P It's called Nvu - check it out!

_________________________________

Then i realised one thing weird leh.. Why do people got such big reactions when they hear i've broken up with my boyfriend??? Ay, it's mostly suprised la, but got some like very happy like that??? Gals, guys, also have leh? Hmmm.. I think got one more person to join in the singletons club, so go out to play together.. Hahahaha...

Going for Basic Instinct 2 next Monday... lalalala...

Went shopping yesterday!!! Here's the loot! ^o^ Keeping to my promise to myself, a brand new, CHEAP, bag for the new school term!

A new top from Forever 21... Got this really cheap... (originally wanted to go there to check out the earrings - but not nice one leh... hmmm...)
A new pendant - ok, this is purely indulgence! I know, i admit it... But i really simply love it...

A new dress... Ok, i've like wanted one of these kind of bohemian dresses for like forever... =P
Ok, there's a story behind the buying of this dress... Did i ever mention this time where i bought my new sandals at FE Plaza? I bought a jeans skirt and a belt that day too.. There was this sales lady who really knows her stuff - and that jeans skirt looked so good with the belt, and i spurlged on it! So today, Jaime wanted to get a jeans skirt, and she wanted to go there.. Haha, i wonder if she regrets going... She ended up buying 2 jeans skirt, i pair of jeans and a top!!!

Me, i got ordered into the changing room to try out this cargo skirt, but it just doesn't appeal to me.. Anyway, I spotted this dress, with the beautiful brilliant green, and the sales lady told me it's 20% off it... Normally all the clothes there are max 10% off one... Yeah, well, end of story was i managed to resist all other temptations and only bought One dress from her this time... Haha...

An advice for those who are looking to buy new jeans - go to this shop @ Level One of FEPlaza... The shop name is -QOO.G-, just opposite Code Red which sells a lot of shoes... Look for the lady with long straight hair, and a brash attitude... She really knows her stuff - like which jeans suit which body type... =)

**Disclaimer - do not go there if you do not know how to say "No"... You'll be pushed and enticed to buy and buy........ hahahaha....

On my way home yesterday night - i saw this couple who were having a fight underneath a block of flats... And it brought back some memories... Many years back, i did that before - haha.. Thinking back, it seems really stupid! I guess we all need to go thru this phase in life where we do dumb things?

Anyway...

Just bought a new watch the other day.. It looks very petite and pretty.. And it's super cheap!!! It broke my record for the cheapest watch i have ever bought.. It's only 3 bucks!!! It's really scary sometimes, how cheap some things are getting - I mean, just think if they can sell it for 3 dollars, what could the cost be?

Anyway, still at work now.. Work at the spa is getting crazy again.. They still can't find a decent worker.. Sigh.. After my shift at the counter, i have to finish my things at the office... Dead soon.. Can you believe it, i'm actually looking forward to school?!?!?! I'm going to take a week's sabbatical from work before sch reopens...

The world cup is finally over... Hee..

People can actually use the world cup as teachings... The match where Italy scored two goals in the final minutes - What can we learn from this?

"If you don't give up, there is always a chance to succeed."

Cool, isn't it.. =)

Well, i dunno.. quite a bit pissed at people sometimes... So happens that i am the kind that like to meet up now and then - well.. I'm organising a class gathering for my primary school frens. The response in the first place was not bad la, around 10 people said ok.

Then Now! The gathering is tonight ok - 3 of them tell me they can't make it. Darn it la! It's like 365 days a year, u cannot give 2 hours to a dinner. Great. Ok la, basically don't expect me to organise anytime soon again la. i'm just purely fed up with them. Come x'mas or chinese new year,for the gathering with our teacher, i will just set a time and date, come or not, suit yourself.

Coconut Tears~!!!

This colleague of mine is well-known for saying the funniest things unwittingly... So yesterday, a very very funny conversation occured in the spa...

Her: Ay, I am not feeling well leh.. Gastric leh...
Him: Huh.. Orh...
Her: Wah.. This kind of reaction one.. Don't care at all one...
Him: *sweetly* Oh, are you ok?
Her: *pretend angry* Huh! Dont' shed "coconut tears" ok!

I couldn't take it and i burst out laughing!!! And when she realised wat she said, her expression was even more hilarious! So CUTE~!!!
HAHAHA!!
_____________________________

Just wanted to say:

There is one cliche phrase which is once again proven to be really very very true.. "tan qian shang gan qing"

It's like, we have always known it, but still again and again, we either believe in the goodness of people, or simply don't know how to say "No". It's not that we should not help friends leh - but i would say- as a very painful lesson taught me: always within one's own means. Don't live to regret it..

SIgh.. So difficult sometimes...
Be good person kena say 'stupid'... Be bad person kena say 'no heart'! Sigh...

Anyway, it's impossible to please everyone - So - The moral of the story?

Don't bother to try to please everybody!

Hey people!!! Welcome to my blog's new look! Hahaha... Been thinking about it for some time.. and i figured that since school is not too far away, if i don't do it now, heaven knows when i can get to it again..

Well, anyway, what do you think of the new look? =) Easier to navigate i hope~ Looks a leetle bit more cluttered than the old one, but since it's all on one page ma.. it's like that... haha...

Probably this look is more reflective of what i am like these days...

But, like a friend who just changed her blogskin recently too - I miss the old skin too.. hahaha...

It's really quite an achievement for someone whose internet connection sucks, and has a limited understanding of html wor~! lalala.. Decided, not taking IT as a second spec 'shi4 chong1 ming2 de4'! =P

Most of my ex classmates will be registering their classes today, in 12 hours more time... Some less than that even.. So - good luck for your "fastest fingers first" competition yah! ^^

It's now time for me to go sleep since i'm gonna be getting up bright and early tml to get my first workout since i fell sick! Hurray!!!

Hee....ok, now that the matter of my timetable is settled, i can rest a while and concuss a while... It's adrenaline high and excitement just now la... Sigh.. all because of one fella who never click confirm.. =P

But... Still, muz owe him my thanks for putting so much effort into planning the timetable.. Thanks KAI!!!!!

___________________________________________________________

Oh.. know wat.. saw this "weird" woman on the way to sch today.. You know the mrt has 'in' and 'out' direction right.. This funny fella - race, i think all can guess la hor - was trying to get in from the 'out' one.... -_-" What the........... It's like not that we want to give her weird look, but it's really amazing lor....

The prev time, i saw this other woman, trying to go UP the escalator.. on a down-riding escalator..... Not once, but twice.....

Sigh... Amazing. Totally ignoring the laws of electronics - it's not gonna change for one person...

hurray!
Managed to get all the timing that's planned for... hee....

Boo hoo.. feeling miserable now.. Sick. FLu, cough, sore throat... =(
grumpy...

Just found out a friend has been lying to me. Made me think that a friend of mine is a irresponsible and etc person. Darn pissed... Of course, one thinks - everyone will say their own side of the story - everyone will wish that the other party is in the wrong. ANd the story changes...

"Look at the facts that match the symptoms. Look behind the person's facade. Look at the person's motives. Look at the behavior of both past and present."

Feel like such a fool for beliving this person.

But most importantly, very disappointed. Very.

I thought this person was a friend, and i believed what was said. They were friends too - the friend who was maligned. Who believed what that person said.

Friendship is an important part of one's life. A giving of trust, and sharing of problems, a sharing of good times.

Betrayal of a friend's trust is something i cannot accept.

All for what...

A transient love which may not even exist...

Disappointed.........

Yesterday morning i went for a theory lesson at BBDC - i booked for 2 diff lessons, and the first instructor was the very serious kind, good teacher etc la.. Hee.. Then the 2nd instructor - =D totally a joker, man...

He's like totally lame - more than half the lesson was spent telling us about his personal experience when it's similar to the topic which was being covered (road conditions..), so we got more jokes and horror stories than knowledge actually.. We didn't finish the class also, haha...

First story he told us was that this trainee once asked a fellow instructor - "Why are the tail lights of cars red? Why not some other color?" Hahaha... I mean, it's pretty much common sense that red means "STOP" isn't it...

Then this trainee who didn't know how to switch on the headlights at all - he was in the middle of his test when it rained... The instructor told him the famous (or infamous, depending on how u look at it..) phrase - "YMCA" = "You Must Come Again"...........

When we reached the part about seatbelts and safety, he told us about his friend's witnessing a road accident in Malaysia. A family of 4, 1 couple and 1 elderly couple, were speeding along in a downpour at speeds exceeding 160kmph, when the driver lost control of the car! The car spun like a top and the two elderly couple who were in the back seat w/o seatbelts on got thrown out of the car and died on the spot... I almost pity the driver... I'm sure he regrets it terribly. Speeding, no seatbelt - and caused the death of his loved ones...

Then there was the time the wiper of his bro's car flew off in the middle of a heavy downpour; and many many more la.. Can't put them all up.. haha.. Can't remember them all too.. =p

A new first yesterday... Yesterday is the first time i tried Carl's Junior... Man, look at the burger! All in all, it's bigger than my hand lor!!! Now i understand why some guy friends like their food - hee... I tried the Famous Star - cos 1st time ma, so try the house specialty first - next time if i go back then try the others! ^^

A lovely night out with my two partners in crime all the way for 16 (!!!) years till now! Haven't met for quite some time le leh.. Hee.. Ah, never have had the dismal pixel of my poor phone brought home to me quite that strongly.. See this pic, it was taken with Yi's camera phone, the new SOny Ericsson one, forgot which model le la.. So clear right!!! So good...

Then never mind, the joke of the day (i won't say who la hor~): 2 of us were posing, all ready for the 'cameralady'.. She said,"1, 2, 3... Uh, where do i press huh?" =D Hahahaha... The 2 of us collapsed in laughter! If my phone was in my hands at that time, i would take that moment down la, my darling gal looked so blur she was totally adorable... hee...

*Peep a boo*

*Boo-tooth-ing*

*Criss-Cut fries!!!*

Ooo.. The day before, i went for Sakae with a friend, and all the food looks so yummilicious... Well, i was actually supposed to go a workout after work, but my Jaime dear couldn't make it and hee.. i got sidetracked. Ended up giving my stomachache a big workout la.. Sigh.. But then, how to resist good food in front of you.. hahaha.. Yaya, i know, it's excuses... =P
