what if you became my everything?



Canon IXUS 60
The most expensive thing I had bought since my lappy 2years plus ago.
I still cant believe how tiny the camera is. Ya, I know there are cameras out there which are smaller or slimer, but with my budget and standard, this is way good enough. Just about the size of my plam. Wonderful. Any smaller I might lost it. Just wanna get it since I'm going to Aussie. (ya. a very good excuse indeed) Already like spending dont know how many Ks to go there, why not spend another few hundred and get a good camera to capture everything. If you understand what I mean.

Next up...

Lake House. Watched the afternoon show with Nevin just now. Funny, cute, romantic, sweet, 'melting', wonderful and touching. At first the movie is pretty funny, the dog is very smart too. Love the dog (Jack). So basically Kate and Alex is living two years apart, Kate in 2006 and Alex in 2004. So the whole story resolve around them 'talking' through the letter box, accpeting the time difference between them, finding themselves in love with each other, times that they actually met each other before, and finally met each other after Alex waited for 4years.

I like how they are there for each other even though they are 2 years apart, relaying on the letter box to communicate and eventually brought each other into their own life. To fell in love with someone who you never really met before, with someone who seems to support you no matter what. Thats sweet. Not to mention, the guy who play Alex is HANDSOME. Two scenes make me tear.

I will pay $9.50 to watch it again. So ya, if you have the spare cash and time, do watch it.


One of the scene in the movie of Kate with Jack. And yes, they are playing with each other. Love the dog. Make me wanne get 1 next time.

Was having a bad cramp this afternoon, backache only make it worst. Sorry for giving you a fright. You are the first and only who came into my mind.

Complicated.

Eventful day

Had a feast in school today... or rather for the past few days.. Coze there's a group from Year 2 IS class selling ice cream for their project at Blk 51, then for the past few days, we had been buying from them. Today is the most.. 10 mochi ice cream, and cups of ice cream. Imagine, I already had my lunch, grass jelly, then the cup of triple chocolate ice cream and then two mochi ice cream again! My feast does not end here....

Some pics....

Xin fu me with my friends behind me!!!! lolz.. There's tong, jas and cl... Cool right? Like you know that they will be behind you always. haha.


The most handsome backview...


If only cl's head was there too...
just nice got 1 space for her...

Rare pic of jas..


Super-white me..
it was the lighting!!!

Two piggys


After school went down to meet mum at Chinatown coze she wanna tailor some dresses again. Of course I got to eat the famous yong tau fu at People's Park. There's actually 3stores that are famous, but the other two only sell till after lunch, heard from mum they are also declious but of a different kind. Anyway, I still prefer this stall...



If I'm not wrong, this store is famous for using pig oil, which explains why the taste is different. But fear not, it's oily-ness is just right. Not too oily but not too dry too. Cant really remember the price, but should be around $3.50 for a bowl of dry noodles and a bowl of soup with the yong tau fu. There's 5 pieces of yong tau fu which you cant really choose, unless you especially request not to have either one of the 5 kinds then they will sub it with another kind. The soup has a hint of soy bean taste and is always warm! No need to order any drink, just finish the bowl of soup. Got nutrients too. As for the bowl of noodles, I prefer eating it with the sweet sauce. Perfect combination. But of course it is good enough to eat without any sauce. The mince meat is the thing that make the noodles special. As I said before, pig oil is being use. So of course pork is used too, some franchise of this stall actually charge 50cents for addition of mince meat. So image how good it taste. Its the backbone of the bowl of noodles. And if you notice, the noodles thickness is of nothing you eat outside. Highly recommended. After eating all the franchise stalls when the place was under renovation, this first store who came out with the recepie is still the best. Nothing changes even after so many years. 5 thumbs up.

Bought freshly bakes mini buns after that...


$1 for 6. Opp People's Park Hawker, alongside with Mac. Heard from the stall owner that there's over 10 favours. As no mixture of favours is allowed (which I think is a waste), I bought only red bean and kaya favours, which are the traditional taste of buns. Because it is freshly bake, when I ate it, it is still warm. The bun itself is soft and has a taste of sweetness to it, which is the perfect match for the slightly salty red bean paste. The most you can only take 4 bites to finish the bun, and I assure you, each bite has red bean in them. Which means that even thought its mini, the filling inside is not mini. It's enough to make sure you have the taste of the filling with the bun together. As for the kaya, I find it abit too sweet. The bun itself is sweet and the kaya only make it sweeter. Some others favours available will be like curry, cheese, butter and yam. Not really a must try unless you love bread, which I dont. 3.5 thumbs up.

Both the store mention above have a constant string of people Q-ing up, which only shows once again it is worth to try them.

Now for a compliant...

I am so piss with the service I got from Bega. Remember the top I wore to school today? It actually stained the white color part of my bag!!! I AM SO PISS. When I call the JP branch to tell them about it, the person is so damn rude. Not only did she talk to other people while I was talking, she was shouting and not paying attention! And keep asking what I want them to do, the thing here is, what Bega is going to do about it and not what I want them to do. You expect your customer to tell you what they want? Idiot people. Ok, I know it is a sale item, you cant refund it. So? It is still a product of your brand right? You still have the responsibility to make sure of its quality right? Still have the cheek to tell me the non-discounted price is actually quite expensive. Meaning if I buy it not during sales time then Bega will do something about it? O please. And the sales assistant still can tell me they have regular customer that will support them because of their quality. There in their webby they say they aim to be the world leading brand in retailing and here they are only relaying on their regular customer and not wanting to extend the customer base. Fine. Continue to do so and you will lost your customer all together. And the bag cost me like $149!!! No clothes have caused me another problem nor damage my bag and your clothes did. And with the unpleasant encounter with the sales assistant, I am even more piss off. I actually say her still she say nothing to say. In the end, I told her I will just directly call the HQ. Idiot. Do I look like I cannot afford to buy the clothes when they are not on sales? I am more concern of my bag here ok? Just for a lousy $15 top it cost me my $149 bag. It is so damn not worth it. They better give me a good explaination and do something about it. If not I will write to the newspaper. I swear. This is such poor customer services!

wish you were here

One of the pics I had been wanting to blog about...

suit him right?

Suddenly today feel so drain of energy.. Basically had been dragging my feet to school for the longest time I can remember. And worst, hadnt been listening to lecture for since after common test. Didnt highlight my notes, didnt read through... Even when doing tutorial sheets, no need to read through.. Power right? How to get good grades like that??

Then from 7 Aug onwards, there's papers on and off, 2 on study break already, 3 papers on the national day's week, 2 more on exam week. And the worst is, my last paper is on 25aug.. FRIDAY! Sian...

Still got lots of tutorials and notes reading to clear.

Then my student giving me problem also..

trying to jia you but no more you to jia le...

Happy

Yesterday went to meet up with lene and went to sleepover at her house. Wonderful night. Really enjoyed ourself even though we never go out.. Had dinner at Entertainment first. Tried the Korea shop, newly opened I think. DELICIOUS!!!!!!! The whole shop is orange in colour and their food is self-cook. As in they will place the meat and veges on the hotplate and bring to you, and then you stir-fry the meat and vege yourself. Like mini Seoul Garden. And theres two sauces avaliable, Hot Bean Paste and Chilli Paste. I prefer the Hot Bean Paste, which I added to my chicken, while lene added chilli to her beef. Two other friends were there too. Sorry no pics. Was too hungry to take any pics, plus oil and smoke was like coming out from the hotplate. Too busy cooking my chicken. =) The meat is really perfect with the sauce. Damn tasty. *back to korea* The taste is really that kind that you wont get sick of eating it. Heaven to the taste buds.

Should try. But I still prefer the one at Republic Food Court. The serving of meat is more at RFC, but JE's got better vege and it's more fun. The one at JE cost $7.90 for 1 serving of chicken, add another $1 and you will get a bowl of kimchi soup (which I find too sour) and a bowl of rice (korean rice). So I guess, the one at Republic is still the winner. Unless you are those who really love veges, then go the JE's. More expensive somemore... Plus Republic's got side dish!!!!

Then went to pool for awhile, even after so long I still got hit balls in kk?? lolz.

Slept at 2plus nearly 3am. Awaken in the mid of our sleep due to the rain. Had Beef Pie for breakfast. My first time eating beef pie. Love the taste, but it's abit too heavy for breakfast. Even though the beef is fully cooked it still taste wonderful. Wonder where they bought it.

CC was alright. But after lunch really cant take it and fell asleep in WISP. =X Was really boring!!!! After school went to collect my specs. Abit not use to it...

Gotta rush tutorials later...

The uploading of pics issnt working so I guess have to wait for tomorrow. =>

Aussie Aussie Aussie.....

Kind of piss with my dad just now..

For heaven sake, everyone knows I'm damn scared of cats and he just cant understand it! Piss.

Lucky mum on my side. He damn well shouted at me in public!!!!! Argh. What kind of a dad is that?? Shouting at his daughter in public just because of a cat.

Period.

Anyway, went to make a new pair of specs today.. Half-framed, orange in colour. Cool right? lolz.

Changing my contact lens to daily. Damn expensive. $100 for a month of supply. I will be broke.

Checked out stuffs for my OIAP... made calls to people..

Dine at Crystal Jade again. Love the sweet and sour pork but the serving is small. The sauce is stick and really sweet and sour at the same time. Make you wanna eat more. And the pork is in big size, crispy on the outside and very meaty in the inside. Heavenly.

Legs still aching. Really have trouble climbing the stairs.

6 more weeks..

Life's good

I failed today NAPFA test!!!!!!! Wahahaha.. Expected lah.. lolz.

Feel so xin fu today...

So sorry to Kenny. See you next thurs k?

Going to Aust/Geelong for 2mths for OIAP. Flying is Sept.

A bit of problem with project.

Overly happy with going aussie.

But I'm scare too.

Lots of money to be spent. Estimate around 4kplus for living expense and than another 2 to 3k of shopping. 600 for a new cam, handphone bills, internet bills..

Lots of stuffs to do.

i'm a happy little girl who got what she wants...

Wednesday, July 19, 2006

i know what i want

I finally receive an email regarding 'Notification of Low Attendance' from NP!!!! I'm so damn proud of it can? lolz. My first letter.. Now my Poly Life is complete!!!!!!!

For the record, my longest report, FMM report, 42 pages. I guess its the longest report for all my group members too. And while I'm typing this, my printer is working hard printing my report out... poor printer... Think after this I got to change the ink.

*correction, I had to change the ink now if not the colour will be uneve...

Anyway, yesterday night was pretty bad. Got so damn pissed off once teddy's plane left Singapore. Argh.. I cant stand it..

School was alright today.. With the usual noise and all.. Had a small chat with Mr Keow on my IAP and OIAP choices. Seems like I chose the right thing, and make me know what I want even more.

And the plan still sticks. Hopefully the company I join for my IAP will sign me up as their employee and then continue working for them while my dad will be able to resign or just work as he pleases. After that get a job at another company or something and eventually work in the hotel side or some company that has oversea venture so that I can travel!!!! Yes, I love travelling that much. After which, get a dog and bring my mum to holiday. Ya, this is what I want.

I can see myself working in this field. I know it will be extremely hard, but I'm willing to have a go at it. For god sake, I spent the past 2years plus sweating over this course, of course I want to give it a shot first. O ya, after a few years of work, take up the Degree course as part time. Thats part of the plan too.

I must work harder!!!! =)

haiz

Sat went town with my cousin to walk around and bought Korea Seaweed. My must have snacks. lolz. Decided to order by box next time along with the instant noodles. =X Had became a big fan of korean food. Healthy and tasty, just abit expensive. See ar, when you buy in NTUC, one packet of Korean Instant Noodles will cost you $1.20, just 10cents more, you can get the one from Korea, instead of China. Worth it right?! So ya.

Had dinner at Crystal Jade Kitchen after that with parents and grandma, 5 course meal. Not bad.. Very filling. Think will be going back there soon.

Sunday went to tong's concert... DAMN NICE!!! Anna, you should have gone... Really worth the price or even more! The percussion(pardon me if i spell wrongly) is damn powerful and wonderful. Comparing this with the first concert I went years back (which I fell asleep in), this is heaven! When you look at their dressing, their serious-ness with the music, their enjoyment of playing music, perfect! The band was good too. Just that I preferred the percussion. Overall its a wonderful performance.

The five of us who tong claim to love because we went to his concert...

*next time i will buy you a flower.. lolz and i miss my long hair...

Went to 'Old Market' for dinner. Heavenly too. Feel so xin fu for a moment.

Monday went for a hair cut after school at JP. Actually realy just want a trim, but ended up having a treatment too. =X Yes yes, waste money again. And I swear I mentioned the word 'trim' to Alex. But somehow, my hair got chopped off a good one inch or more!!!! Argh.. Do all hairstylist got problem understanding the word trimming?? The phase 'cut a little'? Ron used to do this to me too. Cutting lots of my hair away before he knew it. But I must say, its lighter now (I have LOTS of hair) and looks neater in the front. Grandma say its neater also.. Of course it have to look better lah!!! Hundred over gone just like that...

Had been watching 'The Magicians of Love' the whole night. Aka Ai Qing Mo Fa Shi. New show by 183. Damn nice!!! As usual Ming Dao is this rich father's son and the 'white prince' of the girls. Nice show. Must watch.

School was alright today. Heard I got accepted for OIAP, will be gone for 2 months. Country which we will be posted to will be out next week. Abit confuse of which I want to go to. He say I will be happier in Aussie (which is my first choice), but one of the lec say I will be happier in China. Confusing. Anyway its up for the Mr Soo to decide. No matter where they post me, I will be happy.

Had tution after that.. Almost shouted at Shawn. Never read the question/passage, never think for a second, and just tell me dont know. Everything also dont know when I went through questions of similar concept with him every lesson!!! Piss... But then, I will miss him when I go for my OIAP.

Teddy flying off soon. Few more hours and he will be on the plane and up in the sky.. For two months.. or nearly. Hope he really will be back before I go for my OIAP.

will always support u

Lets start this entry with another car I found in school...

Notice the air exhaust thingy?? Looks like elephant's nose to me.. but my friends say look like the dunno what cai cat. Anyway, interesting car.. Wonder whose the owner.. Only start seeing it this sem at the carpark..

E.T

Had this Flu Exercise on thurs, and we had to take our temperature at atrium to declare we are well.. Instead of me taking the temperature, little teddy took it for me! = >
In the morning

In the afternoon

Purposely went for school late that day and kenna say by the lecturer. *bleah* As if I care my stand in class. In no way I am a student for other people to follows. Once in awhile I also like to be late for class, to enjoy the benefit of a student to skip class!!! You cant skip work without a MC! If I dont do it now when can I do it?? Which student at this age never skip class or be late for class before?? If you are one, tell me.

Stayed back in school on thurs again for SAM assignment. Finally hand it in today..

And the stupid sky just have to choose today to rain so damn heavy!!! My shorts was basically wet at my butt just from the walk from bus stop to Blk 34! Argh.. Even the shelter doesnt keep all the rain out. Was wet and freaking cold. Went to buy Hot Chocolate from atrium before I walk any further. Cant stand the cold nor can I afford to get sick now!!!!!!

Everything is confirmed.. The flight and the time. JIA YOU!!! I know you will. =)

Tomorrow still have to go back to school. Sianz. Already took 1 whole module on it and still have to go. Argh.

Tuesday.. Tuesday I will know the results.. Be it good or bad doesnt matter.. At least I tried. Posted by Picasa

JIA YOU!!!!!

Reality hits hard yet again.

Dad dropped the bomb of wanting to resign from his job yesterday night and I almost broke down there and then. Took my time getting home from tution because I still not ready to face him. And tution sucks big time. His resignation got rejected. Boss like him too much to let him leave, so finally shift him to a department that is ok (I think). Only then did I realize that I can live the lifestyle I live now because of my dad. Because he's always been the one to give in to my buying habits, the one who support my spedning habits, all of which is being frown upon by my mum.

One year. Thats all he's going to work. One more year. Once I step out of Polytechnic and find a job, I have to support him. Or rather, support the family and myself. And my mum will be supporting him. That is, if he can stand working there for another year.

It's so damn easy to get use to spending money that you felt handicapped if you cant. At least for me. I swear I had been cutting back of my spending. Been ages since I went shopping. Serious.

Didnt go for WISP today. Didnt want to. Too tired. Just feel so worn out that I just wanna go home and lay on my bed till I felt rested. But no. I woke up feeling just as tired as when I got in.

And I realized something yesterday night... Something that proved once again that reality is cruel...

Thanks for listening even when I sounded really like a super spoilt girl...

Thanks for making me laugh today..

Thanks for just being who you are. Always so calm..

Tomorrow there's the OIAP interview.. Thanks for supporting me in my decision.

JIA YOU!!!!! Just one last step...

trying to smile each day

Blogging this from Picasa. =) Been having quite a busy life these few days. Didnt have time to load the pics that I took this week, which explianed the lack of photos this week. Had tution yesterday and it made me smile. Even though I'm being paid for it, after every session, I felt like I achieved something. Though I had only been teaching Shawn for 1mth, I like to continue to do so! He never failed to amaze me with the things he does. He's mum is very nice to me too.

Having gastric these two days. It's not like I not eating, but I guess just not enough. Had been drinking more than eating today. Went to do IS project with lene and ju after school today. Stayed till 9 before going home. Feeling so freaking sleepy. Developed this craving for seaweed.

NP from ICT block Level 7

me, tong and cl

xiao jian and xiao ming

doing a project on handicapped friendliness in school

One mini project to be handed in this friday, presentation on monday, interview for OIAP next week too, two projects by the end of the month and one more due next month. Wonderful right? Had been doing projects since before test. Projects and more projects. Less time for me to go contribute to Singapore economic! Argh...

Everything seems so alright, so peaceful now. But how long can it last? How long can I last? I know what I want for the near future. I know what I want my life to be. But will it goes as I want it to be? Hopefully I didnt make the wrong choice.

Mum nagging at me for keep going oversea. Wants me to stay in Singapore, at home. But this is not what I want. Posted by Picasa

Everything is OK now.. Hopes its here to stay.

Yesterday spent awhile playing around with typing chinese in MSN... Its fun and entertaining!!!!!!!!! And it make my lips curled. Actually wanna do some screen shot but it involved someone scolding me stupid and call it a waste of time!! Argh.. Never mind. I big hearted, forgive you.

Went to sleep feeling better, and his sms this morning in school only make everything much better. Yesterday wasnt a good day. Lots of people feeling down.

Planning to go cut my hair next week. Long due hair cut!!!! Got spilt ends.. Argh.. First time le.. Never experience this before.. how??? Any way to get ride of them?? I miss ron... Haiz.. Dun like to let Alex cut my hair..

Someone actually understand my spending habit!!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!! Someone understood and accepted it!!!!!! Wow... My first.. Good feeling. It's in my blood.. haha.

Actually, I can dont spend so much. But for a long while, spending make me happy. Make me feel a shot of happiness when I was living the darkness moments of my life, thats why it became a habit to spend whenever I'm down, and also the way my mum spending (ps. her bags are all PC and renoma, wallet too). Hadnt been spending as much recently coze there's no need to. =D Proud of me ma? haha.

Ran Out of Smiling Spell

For the first time in dont know how long, I dont feel like smiling. Almost cried today on the bus too. Somehow manage to 'call' back all the tears before they fall. Got pretty piss during WISP presentation, there's this really idiotic irritating character in my class. See his face wanna slap that kind. Then somehow, doesnt have the mood after I reach home.

Your that one question, trigger it off.. Am I or am I not? I really dont know. Used to think I am, but is this all real? Or just another phase that I have to get over with?

Tomorrow 4hours lecture then doing project. Thurs got tution, fri got project again. Sat have to do project and accompany lene to flea market. Maybe not going... Not sure..

I didnt wanna distrub you today over this, but somehow, I still sms-ed you.

Spoilt Little Girl

I'm seriously overly pampered... =D

Had breakfast today at coffee bean.. What a wonderful way to kick off the day.. Tried their Salmon n Egg Muffin. The fish had been swimming in my stomach for quite awhile now wanting to get out. Then had a shopping spree at NTUC. As usual..

Someone asked.. why I'm always happy.

Sometimes even if you dont feel like smiling, its good just to smile. As if not acknowledging there's such thing as sadness. But I dont see any reason for not being happy nowadays.. Got great friends around me... There's teddy... Doesnt really have to worry about money... Better lessons with my student... Acceptable results.. Parents who doesnt nag as much as they do last time.. What more can I ask for? Well, of course there's still stuffs I want and wish for, but they are also things that I can do without. For now. lolz. When I'm down, I just have to remember there's still people who cares, people who support me no matter what, people who want me to be happy.. And I will be fine. To know 1 such person is more than enough to last you for a lifetime, but I know more than 1.. *big smile*

I might not be the most xin fu girl on earth, but I am in my own little ways..

Eversince handing in ENM project, had been slacking quite awhile.. But cant slack anymore next week.. Got back my results.. Happy with all besides 2.. Excluding the 1 everyone fails.. lolz.

Found lots of comics from the library yesterday. So happy.. In both english and chinese.. Baby Bules somemore!!!! Love them..

=)
