Summer came like cinnamon.

2011 - A bittersweet year.

2011-12-15T20:15:00.009+08:00

Hello all. For my 400th post, I am going to do a 'Top 5 events that happened in 2011".

Yup, it's that time of the year again where I selectively choose the most memorable events that happened throughout the year.

Top 5 Events that happened in 2011:

5 - An awesome part time job that allows me to interact with people from all over the world and find out more about their country. These people that I meet inspires such wanderlust in me.

4 - Got sick for 1 whole month. Ikr. You guys are probably thinking, seriously? Why is it even memorable? Well, throughout my lifetime, I have never ever fallen sick that lasted for a month, so yeah, going through it was such a mother bitch. Oh god, the flu and the phlegm and the cough. Cringes.

3 - 3 weeks backpack trip to Vietnam.

I finally strike out one of my bucket list, which is to backpack. Traveled the whole of Vietnam, saw many interesting stuffs and made many new friends. Off course, this will not be my first and only backpacking trip. I make sure I save enough money to backpack other countries too and I want to do it solo. Go me!

2 - University.

Initially, I did got depressed over the fact that I was not able to enter a local university but, I got over that shit and got into an 'Overseas uni' in collaboration with the SG's tertiary education system. The stuffs I'm learning are interesting however, it feels so different having to memorise so many theory as compared to my poly days. In case some of you do not know, I made a huge leap from studying about airplanes in poly to majoring in the hospitality line in Uni. Honestly, I sort of missed doing many calculations and studying Physics. Oh well, got to make the best out of everything.

1 - Graduation.

Yep, I graduated early this year - after the 3 years worth of cracking my brains and 3 years of being stuck in a class/course of an unfair balance of testosterone over estrogen levels . I do miss the crazy and fun environment back in poly. There was the occasional stress to keep me company but on fridays, I get to meet the awesome people in green tees (yes, npob-ians, I am referring to you guys) and de-stress by having fun during trainings and going for camps!

So, what are your top 5 memorable events in the year 2011?

The uni class photo and poly class photo are picked over from Facebook. Kudos to the photographer!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year guys! xoxo Heed

15 years ago.

2011-12-06T12:24:00.003+08:00

15 years ago, I was 5 and I spent my childhood going for parties, hanging out and getting all dirrrtaaayyyy at the playground and not to mention, entertaining myself with cartoons.

15 years later, at present, I got a sudden mood to reminisce on my childhood cartoons cause the songs and shows were awesome, just like that.

Here are some of the shows that I watched back then.

Dexter's Lab! I like Dee Dee the most just cause she's one annoying high pitched bitch.

Banana in Pajamas. The super hell of a freaky banana twins. It's bad enough that I hade to endure 30 minutes of watching 2 long yellow bananas walking and making an ass out of both of them but the most worst thing ever is having to endure their oh so famous line 'Are you thinking what I'm thinking B1?' . The song was catchy though.

The Magic School Bus. A highly informative cartoon for my 5 years old brain back then. I learnt a lot from the show. And Miss Frizzly (I think that was her name) was an inspiring hippy to me. Because of her, I actually thought of becoming a teacher (thank god I failed my interview for a teaching position!).

Not to forget, Captain Planet. It would be played in the evening on Cartoon Network and I can even remember the catchy opening tunes to it. By the way, I had a small girl giggly crush on Captain Planet. Seriously, check out that masculine jaw line and hot body (ikr, I've been oogling at hot bod guys ever since young).

Oh and other than cartoons, I used to actually watched F.R.I.E.N.D.S and 3rd Rock From The Sun when I was 8 or 9 years old. Can you believe what type of social media influence that I went through at that tender age? The shows are nice though.

XOXO.

Ich Liebe Dich

Ich Liebe Dich

Hi there handsome. If you break up with your girlfriend in the future, please come find me and become the father of my kids. Thank you.

Bwahahaha! I am supposed to start on my Eng assignment but I (kind off) for side-tracked. Oopsy-daisy.

This space seems like a barren of wasted land.

It's all a dream, my dear.

2011-10-09T18:10:00.005+08:00

I realised that the older you get, your dream guy just seemed to morphed into a total different dream man as compared to your dream boy when you were in your teens.

When I was a teen, I liked those kind of rebellious/bad boy with unkempt hair and crumpled clothes. And he must be the same age as me or the maximum 3 years older.

Now, my dream man is someone who is at least 5 years older. With a clean cut beard, charming, husky/low voice (oh fuck, that sounds like my art teacher. HAHAHAHA!) and is able to carry a tuxedo or a suit. It'd be nice if he can carry the 'specs' look. Added points for him if he is able to look good/sexy with an undone bow or tie dangling from his collared sleeve top. Oh and most importantly, someone with a stable job and monthly income.

And then you realised, reality sucks. Dream man can never drop on your lap just like that. Boo!

A sudden enlgihtenment for Art.

2011-09-25T14:21:00.003+08:00

Jean Honor'e Fragonard's The Swing

I'm studying this Art module in school. As of now, we learnt about the Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque, Rococo, Neo-classicm and Romantism. I like Rococo art the most. Other than the usual sipping tea for tea breaks, I suddenly felt highly cultured after studying about this forms of art. Okay, that was funny.

On a random note, I have this huge crush for my Art professor. He's tall, with a sexy well kept beard/moustache and not to mention he has this low sultry voice. I found out from a senior that he's an actual painter. Wow, awesome much. Too bad that he's married with kids though.

Show me the shimmies

2011-09-14T18:04:00.005+08:00

Its 6pm and I am home. This is boring. Its a wednesday by the way. However, I am currently in the midst of blog hopping and I found so many shimmies~! So many short videos, beautiful people, awesome colours but this is the best video far.

I'm inspired to apply my red lipstick tomorrow!

And here is another nice shimmies to keep you entertained.

An Interlude

2011-09-13T15:45:00.003+08:00

I've stumbled upon this awesome blog while at the same time listening to the low voice of my sexy (apparently I'm the only one in class that thinks my Art teacher is sexy) on podcast cause I'm supposed to be studying for friday's art quiz but my attention just got swerved. Ooops.

Two of my current favourite. Cameron x Samuel.

But I (Y) Cameron more cause you know why? He's a nerd and guys with brains are my ideal type. Oh and extra love points for a guy with brains who is also a musician. Hehehe.

But why must you leave the show? T_T Now the only eye-candy in the show is Samuel!

Okay, or I can eye-candy on Damien too (hello cute boy with the sexy Scottish accent). I think I'll add Damien to my list of favourite boys (other than Cameron and Samuel) too.

SAY GLEEEEEEEE!

Meet DJ Ruth Flowers or more known as Mamy Rock. She's a 70 years old English DJ who happens to be a grandmother too.

Can I please adopt her as my grandma? Then she can spin away at my birthday parties!

So, wadcha, wadcha, wadcha want?

Acid Girls - Lightworks

Hi. I doubt I have any legion of fans left sitting behind their screen reading through my blog anymore. Oh well. I guess I would just have to entertain whoever that's reading this now.

I am currently in a 'I GOT THE EXCUSE TO BE LAZY AND ROT AT HOME BECAUSE I HAVE ONLY LESS THAN A MONTH LEFT BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS' mode.

So, what had I been up to for the last month? I've been:

Working hard last month and I think I was born to work in the retail line. Okay, just kidding. I like making friends with the customers but I fucking hate having to fold and refold clothes.

Gotten an immense crush over an Angmoh DJ (Hi Marianie. If by chance you read this cute little blog of mine (hehehe), I know you have a girly crush on him too,right! Never mind, we can share! Spread the love, y'all! Hehehe)

Read the best ever summer reads (3 books to be precise). Check out the picture.

And yes, I re-read the book 'One Day' in preparation for the movie (slated to hit Sg in Oct). My favourite qoute would be 'I love you Dexter, but I just don't like you anymore'. That was my 'heart-melting' moment when I was reading through that line.

My music sense have somehow been twisted and now, I cannotbelievethat i FUCKING WORSHIP PITBULL. I fell in love with the type of genre that he sings. Wth.

Oh and speaking of music, check this song out. My current love. I'm practically prancing around to this song since morning.

This month's the holy month. Been fasting and I am not looking forward to see the relative during Hari Raya.

While I have the mood to type more, I am going to head down to Geylang Serai later after break fast. I am going to put on my brightest red lipstick and put on my red flower hair pin into my hair. And nope, less you think I want to be a 'Wanita Melayu terakhir', I am not fucking going to wear a baju kurung or a kebaya later.

Repeat, peat, peat, peat, peat.

Love You Like A Love Song (Cover)

(Y)

Excuse me for liking this really trashy song. I am myself amused that I'm listening to this song. :O

I'm still alive.

2011-07-21T17:25:00.004+08:00

Help I'm Alive (Acoustic) - Metric

Hello my lovelies. It's been awhile, yeah? I've been pretty much alive. Just a short update, my contract for this retail job that I'm currently doing is ending soon (on the 31st july to be precise) and then, I have 1 month at home (which co-incidentally falls on the fasting month) before school starts.

Okay, that's all.

Bye.

Old friends, new friends, how's life?

2011-07-12T01:31:00.002+08:00

I'm trying to be a social butterfly.

Hah, not really. Its' just that I've been having meet ups with either people that I've never met for some time or poly friends that I did not even had the chance to hang out with during my poly days cause I was so busy then!

I guess its good to do some (okay, more like a lot) of catching up with my friends before uni starts (which is in late August by the way) for me and then I'll get all busy again and made me wonder the existence of my social life.

In case you're reading this and interested on how my life had been so far or want to meet me in person and talk over a meal or tea, sms me, aites! You can have my word that I'll try to make time for you! (:

Keep calm and drink tea, like the English do.

"Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside." - Put Your Records On, Corrine Bailey Rae

It feels nice to just chill in a bar or a coffee bar and just sip my tea and read a book or do some people watching to kill time. Peaceful moment number 1.

Excuse me for the hideously copious amount of pictures relating to the word 'tea'. I can't help but prance around (like a genetically-went-wrong rotund nymph) the living room with great delight and marvel over my photo hunt of tea bags and beautiful china teacups and tea pots and pretty colourful looking macaroons.

Tea.

Melayu moments

2011-06-26T18:45:00.002+08:00

Today is the first Sunday off that I get for this month and I had to practically BEG for it to my supervisors! They said each employee is entitled to one sunday off per month and they forgot about my off day! But yay, I got mine this week! :D

Met up with Aqilah yesterday after so looooooong and its nice having someone to bitch about to on our own race. Oopsy daisy. We tend to not want to believe that we are not our race! Ahahaha!

We had 'Melayu-moments' session by eating murtabak and nasi briyani and then we sheesha like a boss at Arab Street. Okay, well, I still suck at Sheesha, well literally suck. I either tried to suck in too much smoke and got choked (forever getting choked) or sucked in too little and my smoke puffs came out like the size of a 'fist' (this is according to Aqilah and hers are like x5 of the fist size).

Melayu session outing soon pleaseeeee! And lets exchange books next time! :D

Boy oh boy.

2011-06-22T08:08:00.002+08:00

Boy, under a tree, with a guitar, I'm swooned.

However, he does look a tad too young than me, righttttttt?

Oh my.

My Father.

2011-06-20T00:40:00.002+08:00

Hi Dad, Happy Father's Day. Just to let you know, I love you. I am sorry for arguing with you, being rude towards you and we are always at loggerhead towards one another. I guess its' true when they say that children who looks like either one of their parents are rarely at peace with one another.

However, just to tell you, I do felt guilty whenever I argued with you and I guess it must have been my ego which refuses to apologise to you. I feel guilty for giving snide remarks about whatever small things that you do to make me feel contented and happy. I am sorry.

I am actually tearing thinking of how mean and short-tempered I was towards you. I would always scream and yell at you but you would always keep calm and is always patient with me.

Once again, dad, I am sorry. I will try to be a better daughter. I love you. Happy Father's Day.

"Chiong Ah!"

2011-06-17T23:07:00.002+08:00

Sales at work officially started yesterday and we are to do a 5 days full shift and yes, its a very shitty and tiring thing. Talking about shit, the pile of clothes totally looked like a bunch of shit and we're the shit cleaners during the sales period. I keep on folding and they keep on messing it up. Now I know how it must have felt for the salesperson to fold the clothes every time I come to mess things up to find the clothes. I am sorry to whoever salesperson that had to refold so many clothes because of me. I won't do it again. For real!

Oh and today, I met a very nice and friendly customer who totally chatted with me like we're old friends. She's a mother in either her mid or late 20s who was carrying her child. Its' customers like this that always make my day and I do not mind going all the way for them. I want to meet her again cause she's so friendly! I don't even mind going for a random lunch outing or something cause she's just so friendly and nice! Oh wait, I've already said that haven't I?

Gah, tomorrow and Sunday! Another 2 whole days of full shift! Oh my gah!

Afternoon Tea.

2011-06-15T23:12:00.000+08:00

Backpack london, anyone?

All jumbled in a pot.

2011-06-09T20:18:00.003+08:00

Hi all. I've been kind of tired lately because of work. Here's a photo-logue (excuse my non-existent photography skillzzz) of things that happened lately.

Stacks of memories.

Satisfied my so many months craving of Selegie's beancurd.

Found the one and only Kacang Puteh man left in Singapore around Peace Centre.

Received a pen pal letter from USA!

Had to do 10 missions before my 20th birthday.

Donated to World Vision as part of a mission. I find this one a very meaningful one.

Had the last dinner (for now) with Wei Chong cause the dude's going NS. Oh wait, he just got enlisted, today. Tekong, yo! Good luck dude! Can't wait to see you soon with your *ahem* bald head.

Oh and they gave me this awesome advance birthday presents! I am currently reading the book. I love the 'award' the most!

The shoe monster wants it!

2011-06-08T08:54:00.002+08:00

I am a shoe monsterrrr! I make sure I get this Oxford Shoes once sale starts!

I will never be like them, ever.

2011-06-03T21:09:00.007+08:00

Dear this specific lady who was lucky enough to meet me.

Please consider yourself lucky that I did not happened to have a collar leash with me. Or else I would leash you up and teach you proper mannerism and to stop barking at people, like a B.I.T.C.H!

From yours truly, with cherries and heart-shaped confetti on top.

Seriously lady, you may be rich and dresses up all posh and all that but shouting at people who serves you thinking that this is your grandfather's place? Where's the 'poshness' in that? Ladies who shout in public is so, unetiquette! As a woman myself, I actually feel sorry for you, because apparently, you do not know the acceptable behaviour and attitude to be presented to the public. Yes, I might not be rich like you but unlike you, I know how to behave in public, without even going for the 'oh-so-compulsory' etiquette classes that you high class people go to. Oh by the way, in case you do not know or was not taught at your 'etiquette class', its called basic mannerism.

In the future, if I achieve my childhood dreams of becoming a lady boss or by chance get married to a very rich man, I swear I will never be like them. Them, with their nose permanently high up in the air. Them, who has the same facial non-expression as one another (ahem, 'snob face'). Them, who thinks that they can do and act whatever and however they want with money. Them, who treats and look down on people less richer than them.

I wonder, do they ever believe in karma?

Word.

1 more week till someone gets bald!

2011-05-31T04:11:00.003+08:00

Chilled with the study buddies yesterday. WeiChong fetched us at YCK mrt station and as usual, Ian was an hour late! Headed down to Changi Beach for an evening dinner/picnic and it was nice to see the sunrise and ~~moon~~ think about your past and future.

Headed down to Changi Airport next and they had coffee at Coffee Bean. I was more impressed with their range of packed coffee and tea. I like the one with the queen logo on it. Reminds me of a few months ago where I kept on trying to fake an English accent and off course, I failed miserably.

After 3 years.

2011-05-29T17:10:00.003+08:00

After 3 years, it feels good to don the graduation gown and seeing your name on the Diploma Certificate. Though I have to agree that I looked as though I've gained a hefty amount of weight because of the really big robe!

Oh and everyone looks nice in formal wear. The girls looked pretty and the boys looked pretty smart and dashing. Unlike other courses, my course has no requirements of wearing proper formal attire for presentations, ever. The most 'formal' dress code for the 3 years was covered shoes and jeans.

It was not really nerve wrecking going up stage. You actually feel proud of yourself for finally having to touch that piece of paper which you worked hard for 3 years.

Things got a bit rushed after the ceremony ended. The clique and I stayed inside the auditorium to take photos. I had to make a mad dash out to find the lovely OB people who came down to support and I think they deserved a special mentioning for taking the time down to take photos with me and was late for training! Thank you Elaine, Bayla, Haziq, Jia Xuan, Shawn, Soon Xiang and Frendo! Oh and I had to walk around the place to find classmates and coursemates ( in an unbearably annoying court shoes) to take pictures with! They were everywhere!

Dinner with the clique at Holland Village afterwards and then headed down to Clark Quay. Planned to head to this latin club but we were unable to find it and decided to head down to Marina and chilled instead.

It was an eventful but tiring day too!

To end this, CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL GRADUANDS OF 2011!

Its' summer and I can't help but sing.

2011-05-27T07:34:00.003+08:00

Summer's playlist sounds nice.

Getting older makes me more sentimental.

2011-05-24T06:47:00.005+08:00

I had an outing with le grandpere yesterday to JB. Grandpa so cute cause he has better sense of direction than me.

The main reason for me wanting to go JB is cause I really wanted to find this book and yes, I'm glad that I found it there! Afterwards, I accompanied grandpa for lunch at one of the nearby coffee shops. We had an euthentic 'kampung style' lunch. Its not something that I usually get to eat in SG. Then, I followed him to the nearest bank afterwards so that he can withdraw grandma's savings from her Malaysian account. It was a bitch trying to get to that place. We had to climb up so many stairs and slopes and cross oh-so-many roads.

On our way home, grandpa tried to cut queue cause he said he was lazy to walk a long route just to get into the queue and on (LOL!) our bus journey home, we actually bitched about this Pinay maid being on the phone for one hour, ever since she got on the bus. Grandpa was saying maybe she had too many stories to share with her people in her country. The funny thing was that I did not initiate the bitching session! As we were sitting about 2 seats behind her, grandpa actually pointed straight out to me to the maid and started bitching. Lucky she didn't saw it. Hah, now you know where my mum and I get our bitch of a queen personalities from. Heh.

Though it was a short day together with him, I really had fun. I can't even remember when was the last time I actually had an outing with him, just us together. Oh wait, I think it was when I was about 8 years old and we went to Mount Faber. He was more agile and energetic back then. But now, he needs an umbrella which doubles up as his walking stick whenever he walks around and he gets more tired easily (although he refuses to show that he's tired in front of me so that he won't waste my time by keeping on stopping for him just so he can catch his breath).

Why didn't I take the opportunity to hang out more with him when I was in my early or mid teens? A good thing about getting older is it makes you reflect on stuffs and make you more appreciative of what you had taken for granted all these years.

Also, getting older made me more sentimental. I have to admit that I am physically strong but emotionally, I am very weak. Since young my threshold of physical pain is actually quite high and I was more emotionally stronger when I was a kid, before I hit puberty that is. The hormones just started to go haywire and I am more sensitive to the feelings of other people as well as mine.

Hope on the magic school bus.

2011-05-23T04:57:00.003+08:00

Oh my, how I miss those times when you're still under the category of a 'munchkin' and life simply revolve mainly around the playground, birthday parties, food and cartoons. I miss watching The Magic School Bus!

And I seriously used to think that the girls in her class are actually her secret daughters cause they all look amazingly similar! :O

Summer came like cinnamon

Summer loving picture from here.

Saya melayu.

2011-05-21T11:52:00.008+08:00

Yes, I just posted a malay song. Its rare that I even like a Malay song but something about the melody and the lyrics to this song is just, idk, so sweet and touching. And the male protagonist is charming looking. Must have been his small 'puppy look' eyes that I'm attracted to.

On the same note, I did something that I think would make both my primary and secondary school mother tongue teacher either be proud of me or just die of shock. I translated the whole Malay lyrics of this song to English. I TRANSLATED MALAY LYRICS TO ENGLISH, LIKE A BOSS. Of course, I had to depend heavily on my handy-dandy (but dusty cause I had to dug it out of the store room) Malay-English dictionary, which I once swore I would not use it anymore after my o'level Malay paper! Sigh, looks like my free time at home was made to good use. I am finally embracing my melayu roots. OMG.

Malay lyrics to Bila Cinta:

Bila cinta kini

Tak lagi bermakna

Yang ku rasa kini

Hanyalah nestap

Ditinggalkan cinta masa lalu

Dulu kau tawarkan

Manisnya janjimu

Yang ku sambut itu

Dengan seggenap hatiku

Hingga engkau pergi

Tinggalkanku

Hilangnya cintamu

Menusuk hatimu

Hinggaku memilih

Cinta yang fana

Perginya dirimu

Merobek jantungku

Hinggaku terjatuh

Dalam harapan

Kusebut namamu

Disetiap doaku

Bangkitkan setiap

Kenangan tentangmu

Yangku dapat

Hanyalah bayanganmu

And presenting to you, my very own English translation of this song.

Now when love

Has no meaning

What I feel now

Is only sorrow

Left by love of the past

Once you proposed

Your sweet promises

The ones that I received

With all my heart

Until you left

Left me

Your love is lost

Pierced through my heart

Up till I choose

A mortal love

You left

Tearing my heart

Till I fell

Into hopes

I whisper your name

In each of my prayers

Raising each

Memories of you

What I only get

Is your shadows

I feel so proud of myself. Am I awesome, or what! So, anybody need an amateur translator? Hahaha. (:

Sputnik Sweetheart

2011-05-21T11:44:00.002+08:00

Done reading Haruki Murakami's Sputnik Sweetheart and there is this quote that I can totally relate too.

" Instead of things I'm good at, it might be faster to list things I can't do. I can't cook or clean the house. My room's a mess and I'm always losing my things. I love music, but I can't sing a note. I'm clumsy and can barely sew a stitch. My sense of direction is the pits, and I can't tell left from right half the time. When I get angry, I tend to break things. Plates and pencils, alarm clocks. Later on I regret it, but at the same time I can't help myself. I have no money in the bank...."

Yup, about 70% of the protagonist's character is similar to mine.

I'm confused.

2011-05-21T11:33:00.003+08:00

It sucks when 2 friends developed feelings for each other but they don't dare confess cause of the risk of losing a great friendship.

Matters of the heart. You won't realise it till it slaps you straight across the face, hard.

I want to confess, but I'm scared. It'd be cool if he accepts but if he rejects, there goes a good friendship with him and where would it leave us? I don't want to have the awkwardness between us if I get rejected. But I also do not want it to be too late to say 'I like you'. I'm still pondering over it. Do I dare take the chance or just let it go?

Hah, you can't believe this came straight out of my mouth right? I never did give a fig about boy problems but I think now it must have been the stage of growing up where you are ready to think about all this. I'm a bit of a slow bloomer when it comes to matters of the heart.

Wonderwall - Vitamin String Quartet

About a week more and its a final farewell to the bunch of people that I spent my 3 years with! I know, i know. People find it annoying to read an emotional post but I really cannot help myself. Okay, I'm feeling annoyed at myself for being emotional now too!

Its been really nice having classmates like you all after all the tribulations and stress that we have to go through! On the same note, no more touching on subjects that have to do with aeroplanes anymore for me!

I got a good feeling I will be posting on an another emotional topic on my graduation day.

One word, and it made my day.

2011-05-18T19:24:00.003+08:00

'Congratulations'. You do not know how long I've anxiously yearned to see that one word being sent to me.

Hell yeah, I will start school by the end of August!

I-camp 11

2011-05-16T09:03:00.004+08:00

Back from chalet and I-camp.

Chalet was a good time to chill out with the people.

This year's Icamp is the best for me because its the only icamp where there were not much stress and nothing much to do cause I was tasked as one of the helpers. I was chilling at the loft LIKE A QUEEN on the second day when everyone went out for the Amazing Race. Oh and not to forget, I think the helpers were a bunch of annoyingly entertaining people!

I ❤ NPOB!

Why so sad, dawg?

2011-05-11T08:43:00.006+08:00

Hey dog, why so sad?

I will be going off for a chalet and a weekend camp this week. Will only be back on Sunday! So, expect lots of pictures upon my return home! (:

An open letter to my mother.

2011-05-08T16:18:00.005+08:00

Mum in her younger years

What does being a mother mean to me.

I think being a mother is a tough thing because you have to sacrifice a lot of shit to get the family going. There is hardly any ‘me’ time and its always family before self. I can’t see myself being a mother in my early or mid 20s mainly cause:

1) I am too selfish to give some time to kids. I want plenty of ‘me’ time before I start to settle down with a husband (hopefully a very good looking one) and start thinking of having little munchkins crawling all over me.

2) At this age, other than the occasional ‘coo-ing’ that I do over little babies with balloon sized big head and small body which only makes their eyes look hideously big, I don’t think my maternal instinct is kicking me in the butt, yet. I have zero tolerance for noisy, irritating and whiny kids crying and throwing their tantrums everywhere. Makes me want to stitch up their mouths and make them stay mute until they are old enough to conduct themselves properly.

3) I am too career minded. I’d rather see the world than see kids surrounding me.

However, once I have kids, I think I will be a one uptight and scary mother. I’ll probably sent my kids to music and ballet and even language classes when they are young so that they have something more productive to do other than wasting time playing around too much. At least these activities will allow them to unlock their creative side. But then again, who knows, maybe I’ll just change my mind and let them enjoy their freedom playing around and take things slowly when they are still young cause growing up is a bitch, especially when you have to go through puberty and hypocritical people along the way.

Thus, my dear mother, I salute you for having me when you were only 24 and having to tolerate with my nonsense for 20 years. Together with the father, you had to keep the family going and sacrificed many things for us. I want to thank you (again) for giving me the freedom to choose what I want or where I choose to head to in life. Thank you for being my back bone, my friend, someone who I can openly share my opinions and confide to and lastly, thank you for bringing me up and being an awesome mum. I love you mum.

A Happy Mother's Day to you and all mothers over the world.

~Cheers.

"Overall, the PAP was returned to power by winning 81 of 87 seats in Parliament but its overall winning margin of votes -- 60.1 per cent -- was the lowest since the country's independence."

From here.

I think I am going to see a change in tide in the next election.

I am part of the Generation Y, I have my own say of what I want and I want to say out more but... a bit scared cause I don't want to end up in jail. LULZ.

I will be turning 20 next month. Yup, the big 'two-oh' is finally approaching. For this year, I have decided to list out 20 things to do before I turn 21. I got my inspiration of doing this from this pretty lady.

2011-05-04T18:57:00.005+08:00

I shall use this space to rant on my utter and complete misery of being at home. Yes, I am going to become a naggy old crone who can't seem to be more depressed in her life.

Not making much contact with the outside world had made my *ahem* 'social life became pretty stagnant' which had deemed me to become a house monster who had reduced to preying (and not to mention depend totally) on social networks like facebook and twitter as a form of self preservation from surrendering to the 'forever-alone' world.

So please, dear future job of mine. Sms me again when you have your next 'On Job Training' so that I can start booking days off my 'oh-so-empty' squares of my personal calendar and actually start working and meet new fresh ~~meat~~ faces. Oh and I need the $$$ too cause my dear queen mother has threatened me off my usual monthly allowance as of next month cause she's sick of seeing my lazy ass lazing and rolling at home while I should be earning $$$.

Just so you know, the video above this post has got nothing to do at all with the main points of this entry. I just felt like posting it up cause the animated creatures are simply 'blarrrdyyy adorable' (pretend that I just attempted to fake a British accent while saying those bold italic words).

Food in Vietnam

2011-04-24T20:41:00.005+08:00

For most of you that was wondering why I looked as though I gained weight after I came back from Vietnam, this is the reason why...

FOOD WAS EVERYWHERE AND BLARDY CHEAP!

At Hoi An, they sold fresh donuts and even Tau Huey (they added ginger on top of the tau huey).

At Ho Chi Minh, they sold sweet potato fritters and even Banana fritters. I think I am going to die of Heart Attack if I were to eat these kind of cheap deep fried food everyday. :/

This is called Banh. Its a local delicacy where smashed green bean paste and egg yolk is spread on top of a piece of big rice cracker, topped with sugar.

We found a restaurant that sells euthentic Singaporean food at Ho Chi Minh. The boss is a Singaporean.

Heart shaped waffle crisp. Very,very,very cheap.

People in Vietnam likes to use this cow brand cheese. They use it as a spread for bread. Their bread is the french baguette type and called Banh Mi and its sold everywhere.

This is their locally produced Lemon Tea.

Yogurt mixed with fruits from Nguyen Coffee Cafe. Check out the sliced strawberries which resembles that of a starfish!

Idk if you all notice this but at the centre, there is this brand of biscuit name 'One-One'. Singapore has the same type of biscuit too but ours is called 'Wan-Wan'. Hehehe.

Pop corn is sold on the streets and what's interesting about their pop corns are that its so big and fluffy! Even Subaa approve of the popcorns.

We went on a farm visit too and we were spammed with lots of tropical fruits on the 2 days trip we did. Good for *ahem* bowel movement.

They also have 'Ee Char Kueh' and its made on the spot. You can see how they did it and its amazing. THey dipped it with either this special sweet/sour soup or chilli sauce and let me tell you this, the soup was one of a kind, you can't find it in Singapore. So, if you're in Vietnam, do hunt down for this.

Not to forget, I tasted Balut.

BALUT.

BALUT!

Lucky its not a full fertilized egg. Its only a few weeks old and thus, the structure and bones were not clearly visible yet. At first I did not even want to try it and Aloysius was such a wuss cause after he tried a bite, he was like, "OMG, ICANNOT TAKE IT!' Linh (our Vietnamese friend who also from the same poly as us who became our part time tour guide) made me try some and I was like 'Oh, not bad, interesting taste. The egg yolk and the white tasted the same.' I was serious. Its not so bad tasting actually. Its tasted like normal duck egg (I've tried salted duck eggs a few times when I was younger but not anymore). But no way am I ever going to eat Balut again. Once is more than enough. Omg, did I just ate Balut? OHMYGOD.

We no speak Americano?

Today is my 234395348543534 day that I spent my day in front of the laptop and at the same time, expanding my butt size.

However, today was not spent to waste because....

...

I RE-DID MY BLOG AND I THINK I AM BLOODY AWESOME FOR BEING ABLE TO USE MY OWN PHOTO AND DID SOME ALTERATIONS TO THE PICTURE TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A NICE BLOG HEADING AND I EVEN ADDED MY BLOG URL TO IT.

All hail my picnik skillzzzz. Thank you picnik for giving us, the photoshop noobs all around the world a chance to simplify the process of doing alterations to our photos.

Oh and check out the end of my every entry, I now have the shimmy-magic of 'You might also like:'

Tea drinking, again.

2011-04-19T19:33:00.002+08:00

I just drank tea, for the 2nd time today.

Today's mantra: KEEP CALM AND DRINK TEA, LIKE A QUEEN.

I am so sorry for the oh-so-many random entries for today.

Hi.

2011-04-19T08:38:00.004+08:00

I am still in my POST-NOT-ENOUGH-SLEEP-SYNDROME.

I want to learn Russian and Spanish and Latin.

For this part, I will brag (my head's getting bigger like a balloon now) ~~a bit~~ like a boss and be a pompous ass. I bet what most of you did not know is that I took up a few basic conversational foreign language throughout my 20 years of living in mother earth.

Between the ages of 5-6 years old (in kindergarden) I was made to learn Chinese in school by my father (yes, I used to know how to speak and write perfect Mandarin) ,between the ages of 8-11 years old, I learnt conversational and written Arabic (the religious classes made us learn it), between the age of 12-13 years old, I self-taught conversational Japanese through the help of books and audio cds (cause I was a big fan of anime back then), at the age of 17 I picked up Korean in school for a year (my korean pop craze period) and at the age of 18, I picked up French for half a year (for an elective module in school).

Surprise, not?

So that will total up to 5 foreign language but HAHAHAHAHA I forgot, everything. My head is shrinking again now.

I am still LOL-ing at the fact that I pick up this languages but I was never good at them, including Mandarin, the language where I had been constantly hearing the people around me use (the chinese friends around me, yo). I remembered struggling with trying to speak Mandarin and not get myself confused with the words while I was in China a few months ago.

But who cares, right? I learn this languages for the fun of it. Thus, does anyone want to join me for either Russian, Spanish or Latin classes? SMS or IM me A.S.A.P, okay! Thank you! (:

Like a boss

2011-04-19T07:53:00.002+08:00

I stayed up all night last night and only had 3 hours of sleep.

And I woke up, strut around the house, oh wait, more like I swagger around the house like a boss and I had no idea why I did that.

The uncertainness of not having enough sleep. Le sigh.

My life so far

2011-04-18T22:01:00.004+08:00

Hello darlings!

Today, is the first day of school! Well, not for me, that is. It feels kind of funny knowing that today is the first day of school and I actually got no school! *Ahem, graduate, yo*

So, since I have an interview somewhere nearby school, I decided to pop by NP for lunch with Hilda, Elaine and Jewellcy! Dropped by the atrium first to check out the OB kids on how are they faring ~~luring~~ attracting new kids in school to our CCA and according to them, they are not doing to good. Well, you all got one more day. Good luck and try harder, aites!

Oh and not to mention I bumped into Purdey, Afiq and Mirza (on different occasions off course) too.

We had lunch at Makan Place (still the same old Makan Place, there were no new stores opened) and Hilda passed me (via Jewellcy and then Alfred and then Jewellcy again, long story) the China Strawberry Milk Tea that we all got hooked to like drugs while we were in China. Thanks Hilda! Passed 2 sachets to Jewellcy and Elaine cause they were tempted to try it.

Left school and took a bus to the interview place. 1 straight bus but it was insanely long to wait for the bus. Scared me to half death thinking that I might be late but lucky, I wasn't.

Interview was okay, I do not want to elaborate on it.

Head down to library and borrowed 4 books. So happy. I can officially hide myself at home and finish up the books.

Then, met up with Bestie for dinner and poor her, she seems to be not so happy with her new job. Good luck with it, okay! Don't stress too much! Meet up soon when you're free.

Interesting, huh?

2011-04-16T22:26:00.003+08:00

I feel like I've been wasting my time at home for the past 2 weeks, ever since I came back home from Vietnam and fell sick, for like 2 bloody weeks now.

Dear Immune system,

Please don't torture me anymore and do a good job at being more efficient at recovering, fast.

Love,

The nasal passage

Sign Language is cool, yo.

I want a good looking off spring

2011-04-15T12:28:00.003+08:00

The boy's American-Korean. A good looking 5 year old boy, huh? I'd bet he would grow up to be a fine looking man who breaks millions of girls' heart.

If only he's 10 years older, I would not mind saying I'll wait for him to grow up.

COUGAR ALERT! LOLOLOLOL!

Ah heck, I'll fish myself a handsome husband and produce good looking off springs. Either that or I get a sperm donation from the sperm bank, donated by a good looking man. Pray that the off springs I produce does not get most of their genes from me, cause it'll just be a waste of time to carry them for 9months.

Hey, you have to admit it, who would not want good looking off springs, huh?

One day, I'll bring my parents overseas!

2011-04-15T12:11:00.002+08:00

Last week, while I was chilling with my friends at Marina Bay Sands, I saw this tourist family (I take it they were from India). The family consist of an adult male, probably in his late 20s with his mum and dad and they were asking a passerby to help them take a photo.

I suddenly got the notion that the guy probably used his savings to bring his parents to Singapore on a holiday.

Then, it got me thinking. Perhaps, I shall bring my parents on a well-deserved holiday after I work for maybe a year and saved enough money to bring them overseas after I graduate (provided if I get myself a degree). Even if my dad refuse to go on this 'overseas holiday' (he has a phobia of planes), I would still drag him along.

I think a holiday would be a good way to give them a treat and thank them for taking care of me for 20+ years.

Okay, my goals within this 5 years would be:

Get a degree
Get a good job
Save enough money
Bring the family on a holiday

Alone and the future.

2011-04-13T20:25:00.003+08:00

I did things alone today.

I ate Subway for brunch and then chilled at Starbucks sipping mint Earl Tea accompanied by the newspaper and a book, all alone. It was a very, Queen of England moment going on there.

I was actually cool with it. Its actually the first time I chilled at Starbucks alone. It gave me a time for myself and sometimes, after tired of reading, I'd pause for awhile and do some self-reflection like what's my plans now after graduation, will I take a year break or continue on studying and you know, all those stuffs that you did not think that you will even want to think about when you are still in Poly.

I guess being in Poly had always been my comfort zone. I did not even want to think much of where I am going to head to after poly. Everyday was spent having fun with your friends and worrying about tests and exams.

So yeah, I'm still asking myself the same question 'What's next?'. Something for me to ponder about for the next few weeks.

Mama don't look down on me!

2011-04-10T15:25:00.003+08:00

My nose is still running a marathon. I think now its more than 42.195km already. Already been close to a week and I am not showing signs of recovery. Sad, aye.

So, for the past 2 days while I was at home, bed ridden like a sick puppy, I had been rolling around the clean floor of my living room.

I had tediously transformed a corner of the living room to my own little sanctuary. With a stack of books that I had been re-reading, a soft matress and a pillow. And why the hell would I choose the living room instead of my own bedroom? Because the cable is in the living room. Hence, to access to cable shows is only an arm's away. Speaking of network shows, Prince of Persia is playing on Cinemax tonight. Whoohoo half naked Jake Gllyifindthesurnametohardtospell! I bet I am going to squeal and giggle with delight like a 6 year old given an ice-cream.

Okay, back to my little sanctuary. Its actually kind of messy and the mother think she was being funny when she said :

"You keep up with that untidy habit of yours, and no guys would want to marry you. And there goes my chance of having international grandkids from you. I now have to solely depend on your sister".

Did she just looked down on me? Wait and see, mama. I will produce more international grandkids than sister for you. LOLOLOLOLOL!

Should I go or should I stay?

2011-04-09T08:30:00.002+08:00

I was thinking of going back to using my livejournal to post up my daily (which off course usually tend to end up being monthly) rantings and closing this blog for good.

Should I go or should I stay?

Hah, who cares anyway. I bet no one comes down to read my blog except for the occasional one or two lovely people, righhhhhhhtttttttt (i'm actually hoping that someone would prove me wrong and proof to me that I have a legion of fans out there who are willing to sit comfortably reading through my rantings)?

Ah heck, maybe I'll just stay because of blogger's preposterously easy way of handling the site, which even my 65 year old grandmother can do it.

Tissue stuffer

2011-04-09T01:15:00.003+08:00

I stuff tissues in my nose to prevent my mucus from dripping out like some fountain of wealth and I just got screen shot by Nadz while we were video chatting. Bitch, do.not.freaking.post that picture up on any form of social network, purhlezzzzz!

P.S : And yes, Nadz is back from Dubaiiiiii like, 2 weeks ago! But she's leaving off next week! Waiiiii must your vacation be so short?!?!? D:

Get inspired.

2011-04-08T10:50:00.003+08:00

I've been watching other people doing covers of my favourite songs on youtube and I am getting inspired by them to do new covers. So yeah, I've been practising like mad but I think there is something missing. Idk what it is though.

By the hoo, outing with the study buddies later! Hopefully I remember to bring their souveniers for them!

P.S: My nasal passage is still throwing a mega bitch fit at me. And my nose is doing a 42.195km running marathon now.

Sick like monkeys, bored like an elephant.

2011-04-07T14:26:00.005+08:00

I am sick. Yup, been sick ever since I came back from Vietnam on Monday. Malaria? Nope, don't think so. I would like to believe that the change of weather is causing my immune system to get all fucked up.

So, what had I been up to for the past few days rotting at home? I've been:

Practicing/recording a cover of Glee Version of Bruno Mars, Marry You with my husky tranny voice. Hey, its not every time that I get sore throat. So might as well don't waste the chance to record/sing in a husky tone.

Spent the whole of yesterday watching re-runs of my favourite show (other than PPG and T&J) of all time, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and reading synopsis of whatever happened to the rangers and its sequels. Hours of staring at so many hot bodied Power Rangers made me squeal with delight like a young girl just entering puberty accompanied with raging hormones. I even fangirl and did a 1 hour intensive (seriously, intensive i tell ya) research on 'Dustin, the yellow ranger from Ninja Storm'. Holy shyte, I even know which the full name of the series. :O

Before I get sued for using other people's picture, I'd better give credit to the link. Picture from here, yo.

My 1 hour worth of fangirling made me discover certain interesting facts about him. His name is Glenn Mcmillan, a Brazillian, and is now a lawyer. Whoo, a lawyer, and a Brazillian and a hawtie to add on, can I like, hire him to become my lawyer when I face a run in with the law in the near future or something?

Been tumblring picture-worthy post.
Watched old seasons of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Ahhh, the good old times where television was purely dominated by sitcoms instead of over the top reality shows.
Youtube-ing and imitating the RP English accent. While video conferencing with J, he totally lol-ed at my 'tryingohtoohard' to imitate how the Queen of English talk. J, this is for you. 'Hoooooooow loooooong has it beeeeeen since I last saaaaaaaaw youuuuuu?' LOLOLOLOLOL.
Went to the clinic just now and had the 'lump' in my inner lips surgerically removed. The doctor had to inject my lips to make it numb and then use this 'lighter of sort' to 'burn' the 'lump' off. Now my lips look like Jay Z. I totally have the 'Jay Z' aura to rap and wear all the bling-blings.
And lastly, I chanced upon this clip and this is the first ever commercial that I heard so many 'FUCKING' in one fucking video. :O

'1 out of 3 queer kids had fucking tried to kill themselves.'

So, don't make fun of queer people, cause they are humans too. Now, I will 'Spread this (video) like herpes'. You should too.

Believe it, I watched it.

2011-04-06T10:11:00.003+08:00

While I was in Vietnam, I realised that Cable network is totally free there! So I had accessed to my once favourite channel of all time, Cartoon Network. The first thing I did when I wake up was on the tv and the last thing I did before going to sleep was off the tv. Yes, that was how hooked I was to Cartoon Network while I was there. Hey, its not my fault. They were perpetually showing re-runs of Powerpuff Girls and Tom and Jerry.

Speaking of cable tv and such, there was this particular Saturday evening that I got so bored and Cartoon Network was not showing any of my favourite shows, so I decided to tune in to Disney channel and I cannot believe that I actually watched PHINEAS & FERB, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, HANNAH MONTANA, THE SUITE LIFE OF ZACK AND CODY AND EVEN FREAKING THE JONAS BROTHERS IN L.A. What the hell. With the exception of Phineas & Ferb, the rest of the shows are shows that I would not even dream of ever wanting to watch. To add on to my misery, the shows were showing back-to-back! :/

Greetings from Vietnam!

2011-03-30T18:02:00.002+08:00

'Xin Chao' everyone! By the way, 'Xin Chao' means 'Hello' in Vietnamese.

Just a short update. I am currently in Nha Trang, Vietnam. Its already my 14th day in Vietnam! Time flies, yes?

Vietnam's cool. People here are friendly and forever smiling! I love this country, except for the crazy weather, which was blardy cold when we first arrived at Hanoi, 14 days ago!

We are heading towards the South tomorrow and then I'm left with 5 days left before I step on the mother land.

Can't wait to see you all at the airport! Miss y'all. Please remember to bring my personalised banner when we reach the airport!

Hello again, Vietnam!

2011-03-16T19:11:00.003+08:00

I will be on hiatus for 3 weeks cause in less than 16 hours from now.... I will be imprinting my footprints on every inch of the whole Vietnam! Wish us luck and pray for our safety, okay!

Note to HidayahAzmi and HoXuen, remember to bring out a welcome banner for us when you wait for our arrival home at the airport! I will be looking forward to it so that I can walk out like a rockstar. Whoohoo! (:

The proposal.

2011-03-16T09:47:00.001+08:00

Dear future husband, I hope you are watching this video cause I have always dream of being proposed through a musical. Thank you.

On this gloomy rainy afternoon, I just satisfied my cravings and turned into a tea drinking slut.

I stole a sachet of Earl Grey Lipton tea bag from the kitchen and brewed myself a cup of tea poured into a pretty looking tea cup that I dug out somewhere from the kitchen drawer. I took a painless effort of pouring just the right amount of milk so that my tea will not taste too milky.

After which, I sat on my majestic looking living room sofa and read a book while sipping milk tea and dunking marie biscuits (stolen from granny's biscuit container secretly hidden inside her room).

This post totally revolve around my tea making session. See, a total certified tea drinking slut. Oh wait, its' more like a lazy tea drinking slut cause I didn't even bothered to take photos of my tea drinking session.

Of the trees and nature.

TEA-OH-MAN!

2011-03-09T21:01:00.002+08:00

Hello my lovelies~!

I am back from my short get away with the school to Tioman Islands. Frankly, I did not made new friends but I gotten closer to my friends and the crazy whacked out kids from my path and I saw a lot of other A.T kids from the other path (and most of them I never even see before, despite being in the same course for 3 frigging years!).

I'll just do a photo dump here. Pictures are all it needs to describe my 3 days,2 nights there. Sorry uh, I'm a little bit lazy to typed out what happened.

On the same note, I hate having to wash dirty clothes and shoes after a trip! :[

Oh and by the way, I have another 8 more days in this Sunny Island before I run away (again) for my 3 weeks Vietnam backpacking trip! Looking forward to it, like totally! :]

I needa know, okay!

Mum made me listen to this kind of main stream 'it used to be popular on the radio back then' when I was like, in primary school

Yeah, don't jealous. My mum's cool just like that.

Bananananananana cake.

2011-03-05T22:03:00.003+08:00

Baking session with the girls today! We can officially either become full time housewife or a pastry shop owner. We baked banana cake and we were actually very amused that it was a very easy recipe to follow! While waiting for the cake, we had time to watch The Switch and bitched about. In case you forget, we are after all, girls.

It actually tastes good! However, the only thing that was lacking was more of the banana taste.

Then, we went decided to head down to Rochor for some Tau Huey (impromptu decision, lol!) however, we ended up eating this awesome chicken rice from around the same area and we skipped on the tau huey cause we were to full to even put more food inside out stomach!

Below are a dump of pictures of the chicken rice place. I forgot to take a picture of the chicken rice though. Sorry, the scrumptious food were seducing us to tuck in..

Now all you bitches crawl.

Awesome collaboration,evahhhh.

Remember the Titans.

2011-03-04T12:52:00.003+08:00

Hi. If you ever chanced upon this movie, Remember The Titans, I'd recommend you to watch it. It maybe a 2 hours of movie that will inspire you. This is by far, the most inspirational movie that I had ever watched.

Last paper.

2011-03-03T21:23:00.006+08:00

I am too happy that I can sing A Pocketful of Sunshine happily.

I have (unofficially) graduated because yesterday, I took the last exam paper in poly! I hope I won't be touching on any aircraft lessons for the rest of my life (it took me 3 years in poly to realised that my interest was more into the media side and yes, I am thinking of furthering my studies into the media side instead). And seriously, you guys have to give credit to my colourful piece of arty farty mind map!

Graduation Party

We spent the night at Resort World's Hard Rock Hotel (thanks to KyeJie!) and everyone was dead drunk when I came in (I came by late by the way). And as you can see from the picture above, there is only one small room and 2 beds. We had to squeeze 6 people on the beds and Harold slept on this arm chair beside the bed (not shown in the picture).

At 12am, non of us were sleepy and we lie on the bed for god knows how many fricking hours till we actually slept. I shall attempt to list down all the crappy things that we did till we slept

Harold and Subaa got madly drunk that they spent their night puking out the alcohol in turns
Zehao got tipsy and slept for awhile. While sleeping, he made different sounds of snore, which sounds as though he was making some music. Thus, instead of a musician, we made up a new name for him, Snore-cisian. Speaking of him, he can't stop letting out exhaust fumes for so many times and we had to breathe in the oxygen+the smell!
KyeJie made us listen to a Thailand song for god's sake and made us wave our hands up in the air while we were laying on bed, LOL!
They created toes shadow puppet on the ceiling
We tried to faked different accents and we ended up LOL-ing at our failed attempts

The next day was spent at Universal Studios where we entertained ourselves to their re-opened ride, Battlestar Galactica for an average of 4 times (mine is 7 times though! :p )

I can't believe we're finally getting our diploma soon and everyone's going to continue with their lives. I know its just another phase of life but man, 3 years passed so fast and with all these great people I meet, I am sure I am not going to forget them.

Check out my new muse.

2011-03-03T20:45:00.003+08:00

New muse. New muse. New muse.

Can I be number 4.5, prezzzzzzzz?

And yes, I'm doing some shameless publicity for the movie, I Am Number 4.

I swear its totally worth the money that you paid for to watch this movie.

I have amusing genes.

2011-03-03T19:27:00.003+08:00

I think, I may have been born to highly amusing dysfunctional family.

My mother, thinks that she would have picked up the 'Bitchiest Mother' award if there were ever this kind of awards being given out.

My father, would make a pretty damn good housewife if my parents' roles were reversed cause he can cook and sew and even do the housework willingly.

My sister, well, lets just say she traps herself in her own miniature world, inside her head where she plays god and controls her minions.

My grandfather is as interesting as it comes. He loves to explore the whole of Singapore on his vintage vespa (who is mind, you, actually a year older than me!) and would only come home after dinner.

My grandmother on the other hand, believes herself to be of a royalty descend due to her re-curring habits of pretending she's the Queen of England just cause she loves to have her tea time snack eating scones (hah, actually its Marie Biscuits) dipped in her Earl Grey Tea.

No wonder I am born with all these odd qualities.

Founder's day

2011-02-22T21:19:00.002+08:00

Today is the 22nd of February and its' scouts founders day!

So yeah, happy founders day to all my scouting brothers and sisters! May the scouting light be shining bright.

Yours in scouting, Heedayahhh!

A new direction in life

2011-02-18T06:08:00.002+08:00

2nd March marks my last paper in Ngee Ann Poly. I am going through mixed feelings now. I am happy because its I need not take anymore exams in Poly but sad because, I am going to leave my wonderful np mates. For 3 years, I actually enjoyed going to school (although I grumbled many times of getting to school cause I take an hour just to reach np from my house).

You may call me a dork but I have to admit that I love school. I met and socialised with many types of people and it allowed me to have a broaden perspective of life. I took modules that are initally hard to absorbed (cause 3/4 of the time I always ended up snoozing in class) but to think of it again, at the end of the day, I enjoyed the 'plate-ing' (refer to previous post why I typed 'studying' as 'plate-ing) sessions and having to crazily crack your brains and squeeze your brain juice to memorise the formulas and theories.

I get the opportunity to travel with other np-mates. in my second year I went to Vietnam and I get to know many other awesome people from different courses like the FMS kids (Yixin, Loga, Adin and Zoe), the Electrical Engineering kids (JJ, SinHung, Meilina, QingPing and the rest), the ECH kids (Cassandra, Shurong), the ChemBio kids (Grace and Queency) and the Physiological kids (SerWee and MinQuan). In a short span of 2 weeks, we interacted and bonded very fast. My first post for this blog was on my Viet trip.

The second trip was on a stidy trip to China, like a few months ago. I interacted and get to know more of my course juniors (Xuen, Zian, Delwin and their yr 2 buddies), who are a loveable bunch of kids. Then I got to talk more to my course mates (Darrick and clique) who had been in the same lecture classes for 3 years as me but for that 3 years, we never say hi, like really, never at all. Initially, I thought they were some cocky kids but they are awesomely fun dudes to hang out with (besides the fact that they have the mind of 14yrs old cause their lives revolved around computer games).

Then there are the CCA mates. I'm more closer to the 17th comm, despite my slow progression in bonding with you guys. You guys are awesome to the max cause we went through epic stress that we won't get to go through with our classmates. For the rest of the cca mates, its been nice knowing you all too.

Not forgetting, the old but young-at-heart course lecturers of mine. They are cool just like that, yo. Don't jealous cause I have cool lecturers! LOL.

This post sounds like my graduation post.

But nope, its not. I bet on my graduation day I have lots more things to write and thank people for the things they did for me in my 3 years in np.

Oh and I think I'm going to shed a lot of tears during my graduation day. You all looking forward to see me cry, not? Hahaha.

Total epic mess.

2011-02-16T05:56:00.003+08:00

Hi there, my munchkins.

I woke up pretty early today. At an ungodly hour of 4.50am cause...I was too darn hungry to even continue sleeping. Things for me to note, do not skip dinner!

Breakfast was good. Peanut butter on 2 plain toast accompanied by an apple and a glass of cold milk. After which, I went to the living room and realised that it was a hodge-podge of my school books and lecture notes.

Holy mama. For the past few days, I tried cupping (i'm trying to be intellectual here and instead of using the common word for studying, 'mugging' , I shall use 'cupping' instead. The next time I'll use 'plate-ing') in all my school work to prepare for the oh-so-dreadful final year exams in about less than 2 weeks.

However, half the time I was just lazing around the living room and even ended up sleeping on the floor when I got too sick of studying.

Oh,my.

On an another note, la grandmere is sitting on her majestic chair and she claims that she feels like a queen now, sipping her English Earl Grey tea and eating scones. Okay, I lied about the scones part cause I am trying to put her in a light of having her own mini English tea party. Its more like she's sitting on the living room chair, eating breakfast of Marie biscuits dipped in Lipton Tea. But I love her quirky comment on her calling herself a queen just cause she's drinking tea and biscuits.

Till then, toodles.

That was a proper post-worthy post (after a long time, yeah?). (:

Stand by me

2011-02-15T22:22:00.002+08:00

I'll stand by you.

Sorry for the lack of proper posts. I've got no inspiration to do a nice write up. I guess its' just a phase where you do not want to share much about your life to the world and music just becomes a form of self-therapy.

Happy Valentine's Day

2011-02-14T20:34:00.002+08:00

To the love birds out there with the flowers and the chocolates and the candle light dinner, enjoy being with the one you're romantically hopelessly in love with.

And to the rest of the single ladies (and men,too) out there, today is just another day. But hey, at least we're free of commitment issues. (:

Cheers.

Tango and guitar.

2011-02-14T07:26:00.002+08:00

"This proves conclusively that tango is the human equivelent of a mating dance."

And this actually made me regret that I quit the guitar class last year. ):

When I have kids

2011-02-09T11:17:00.002+08:00

When I have kids somewhere in the *ahem* near future, if I have a daughter, I'll teach my daughter to sing in the bathroom and feel happy every single day and if I have a son, I will never ever let the dentist drug him when he needs to pluck a tooth or something. :/

Kids going high,high, into the sky.

MOUSTACHE

MOUSTACHE!

I LOVE THIS CUTE LOOKING MOUSTACHE! LULZ!

I'shall doodle this moustache on my school textbooks! (:

Too much social network.

2011-02-06T13:38:00.003+08:00

Nowadays, with the popularity of social network sites such as facebook and twitter, we are really not getting much outdoor hangout time are we not? The only time that we hang out is via the virtual world in the comfort of the four walls of our bedroom.

This video hit ya in the face, didn't it?
