Very overdue post [Desaru]

Remember my trip to Desaru with Jiexiang and extended family members?

Yes yes, so overdue because It's been almost three months! I just gotten the photos from Jiexiang -_-;

Anyway, I shall let the photos speak:

First stop: Ostrich Farm











Egg shells provides nutrition for ostriches so after the egg cracks, they will eat up the bits of shells..



Afro Bird



You gotta relax your palm while feeding them and do not fold your palm while feeding cos Jiexiang got bitten by it and was bleeding abit.



Acting dead



"Mummy! Why the bird like that?!"





Natural ostrich egg bra, anyone?



Beautiful lamps!



Ostrich egg (when cooked) can feed up to 20 people. Eat one of it alone and you'll die of high cholesterol level, man!

Second stop: Fruit Farm



Acting cute!



These kois fought for food when people feed them. They're like half out of the water! EUUUU! Hate this scene!





HAHA, blocking from the vigorous splashing of water while the kois fight for food.



Well, didn't take photos of the fruits cos the weather was so so so hot and apparently, the tour guide was very rude, as if guiding for the sake of guiding.





Sweet lovebirds!







Everyone's not afraid of the python...



Even her!

In case you're wondering why no photos of me and Jiexiang with the python, it's cos we're both scared and shy. HAH.

Didn't capture any photos of the fireflies cos we were not allowed but the sight of it is simply spectacular! <3



Alanah looked so scared yet so cute! Miss her already~

SO true!

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

Yes yes, I always believe in listening to both sides of an argument.. But of cos I must first know both parties..

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

True also. But things don't always go my way ya. Certain people develop feelings for each other after knowing each other well, certain people avoid that because they know each other too well. My case is always the latter.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

Is web designing an unusual job? HAHA.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

Yes yes, I'm very down-to-earth. Afraid of risks and dare not think about investing unless I have assurance for it. I'd rather work and save up what I earn then to invest and get quick money. Investments don't always guarantee getting profits (maybe don't guarantee getting back the initial amount I invested too).

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

Very true.......

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Sadly, true. I'm very concerned about the way others see me.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Probably the best selling OST ever!

Just gotten my Secret OST yesterday! The OST is so so so fantastic. It's sold out at all CD-Rama outlets! Yesterday I was so prepared to call all outlets of various music stores like Sembawang, HMV, Gramophone etc when I got lucky on my first trial! Well... I picked the right choice :) Gramophone at The Cathay!

Was contemplating if I should just go down on Saturday since I will be meeting Jiexiang at Bugis but I decided I can't wait. THANK GOD I made that choice! Cos when I went down, it was the last copy!

*hops and jumps around the office~*

Listening to the OST allows me to remember all the scenes in the movie all over again (actually cos I watched it again last sunday :P) but its so so nice. Some tracks can even make tears well up in my eyes.

Oh and shall I say this is the best selling OST ever? When can we even hear about OST being out of stock?! High demand leh!

Love it to bits.

Some movies I've watched recently:

Must watch! I'm not biased (this I emphasize again). Even people who are just neutral about Jay Chou think it's good!

Touching show! But certain parts get so emotional and then suddenly the actress sing. Supposed to be sad but the expression is funny yet sad. Mixed feelings. Will be even more sad if you understand Hokkien, cos I don't understand Hokkien, maybe abit only.

Good movie for a good laughter for lame things. HAH.

AND I WANT WATCH THIS:

Been waiting since like forever leh~

Ridikulus!

Found some interesting laws on this site:

In Ohio, it is against state law to get a fish drunk.

Why would someone get a fish drunk?!

In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation.

In case you're wondering what is "decapitation", let me enlighten you:

decapitation: to cut off the head of; behead (source)

In Vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.

What if my husband is dead?!

In Alexandria, Minnesota, USA, it is still illegal for a man who has garlic, onions or sardines on his breath to have sex with his wife.

Well... I wouldn't want to kiss a smelly breath.. and what if he farts?!

In Providence, Rhode Island, USA, it is still illegal for shop owners to sell toothpaste and toothbrushes to the same customer on a Sunday.

Oh god.. wassup doc?

In St. Louis, Missouri, USA, it is still illegal for firemen to rescue women who are still in their nightdresses.

In the midst of the fire:

Lady (in nightdress): HEEEEEEEEELLPPPPPP MEEEEEEEEEE!
Fireman (upon seeing lady): I'm sorry but I can't save you cos you're in a nightdress.. (went off to find other victims)

In Kentucky, USA, it is illegal to carry and ice cream cone in your pocket.

Why would you dirty your pocket like that?!

In Louisiana, USA, if you bite someone with your own teeth it is classed as 'Simple assault' but if you bite someone with your dentures it is classed as 'aggravated assault.

Wendy, this is for you :)

In Conorsville, Wisconsin, USA, it is illegal for a man to fire a gun while his wife is having an orgasm.

I'd kill my husband if he fires when I'm having an orgasm.. I mean.. why would he do that?!

In Willowdale, Oregon, USA, no man may curse while having sex with his wife.

Husband (in the midst of making love): F*ck me, baby
Police: You're arrested.

In Florida it is illegal to have sex with a porcupine.

OUCH!

Chewing gum is illegal in Singapore.

We all know this..... :/

In Burma it is illegal to get internet access. If a person is found in possession of a modem he can be imprisoned.

Geeeeeez. Does that mean all Burma companies doesn't have a website?

In Romania, in 1935, Mickey Mouse was banned because the authorities thought that the sight of a 10ft high rodent on screen would terrify the nation's children.

The terror of Mickey Mouse!

Donald Duck comics were once banned in Finland because he never wore pants.

What will happen to all the ducks in Finland?

In Britain, in 1888, a law was passed which stated that every cyclist had to constantly ring the bell on his bicycle non-stop while the machine was moving.

I'll burn my bicycle.

In Denmark it is not illegal for a convicted prisoner to escape from prison. If the escapee is caught he only serves the rest of his sentence.

If I ever want to commit a crime, I'd want to commit it in Denmark for sure~

In Denmark it is illegal to start your car without first checking to see if there are any children asleep underneath it.

Who lets their children sleep underneath the car?

In Stelvio, Italy, in 1519, a court issued a warrant for the arrest of a gang of moles that had severely damaged crops. The moles were sumoned to court but when they failed to appear they were sentenced to exile.

Judge: I hereby sentence you moles to be imprisoned for life!
Moles: ??

Oh by the way they are not refering to moles on our body.

Great big hug

credits to daddywipes

Did I ever mentioned I love kids who hug my legs? I love it simply because it shows they loves me and they want me to play with them.

Yesterday I was in Jiexiang's kitchen, scooping rice for dinner, when Alanah went like "Ah yi!" then she hugged my leg and said "Ah yi bao bao!" (carry me!)

Love it <3

Perfected in pain!

Nothing ever runs smooth in a relationship.

Sometimes in a relationship we have to deal with problems and then these often comes with sadness/frustration/anger and inevitably, tears. It is during these moments we realize how important the other party is, how much we can't live without them in our life, how much we love them etc etc..

And it is after these moments which either the relationship gets stronger and both parties cherish each other more, or the relationship worsens and it ends.

Of cos at such times, I prefer the former, unless of cos it involves infidelity of the other partner, then it's totally a different thing.

I know quarrels isn't exactly a very pleasant thing but as long as the relationship is made stronger after each quarrels, it may be worth it after all. But I don't mean quarrels over very very trivial matters, like.. the most childish.. "why you never call me?"

HAH. That's just a very lousy example.





*Edited


Had been chatting with Yong Xiang for the past few hours regarding relationships. It's always good to hear things from a guy's point of view yah.

Anyway I can't help but agree that words of anger can't be taken too seriously. If you're in a heated argument, you will tend to spout words of anger which they might not actually mean it. So it'd always be good if the angered party do some thinking after completely cooling down, then he/she shall judge the situation when they're all calm rather than angry.

When you're angry, you bound to think the other party let you down or some sort and can't really sort out your feelings straight. Even if you made a decision while you're still agitated, I guess one might regret after they had cooled down.

Always make a decision when you're not angered/frustrated/agitated.




I'm glad we made it through... :)

Truth

This photo is tad bit random but I thought I'd add a photo cos my entries seemed wordy. By the way, me and Jiexiang got this monopoly! Oh and I realised the price has gone down to $61.90 instead of more than $80.00 after the GST hike. HAHA.

Have you ever lied so much you felt like telling the truth but somehow you can't? You can't tell because you sorta guessed how the other party would react upon knowing the truth, and deep inside, you hope he/she asks you about it so you could just let it all out..

Well, I did. I kept the secret I had a boyfriend for more than three months until my mum finally asked me. She suspected I had a boyfriend, sneaked around and asked my siblings but they just said they don't know when they actually know.

I had to lie where I went for so long I felt like bursting. I want to tell her I have a boyfriend when I'm all ready. But when I know she asked my siblings about it, inside my heart I wished she would ask me so I'd tell because I'm not at all ready to tell her. (fearing the fact that she might get all so worried about me getting cheated as such)

She finally popped the question when she was asking me something in the bus guide.

I finally told her the truth.

This time round, I wasn't at all irritated by all her questions (because I always feel annoyed) and I answered her attentively. I know she's been wanting to know if I had a boyfriend and now that she's asked, I ought to repay her by telling her the truth and answering all her questions.

I feel so much relieved.. you know?

At some point I felt so sick of lying but that's all I could do.

Now I can just tell her the truth :)

I think because I told her the truth that's why I finally completed the two levels I've been stuck for Crash Bandicoot 1. *sniggers*

Wet Dreams Please!

HAHAHAHAHA I BET THAT TITLE CAUGHT YOUR EYES.

Anyway, I spent a good deal of time figuring out the codes for Blogger's default skin because I want to make a nice and simple skin, yet Blogger-friendly too. Blogger-friendly in the sense, I totally love the way I can just add new sidebar boxes for new content, arrange my boxes in any order I like just using simple drag-and-drop, which I believe everyone can do, and my skin still looks fabulous.

NICE?

By the way, Secret is a pretty damn good movie. I swear you gotta catch it. I know you may think I'm a little Jay Chou biased because I love him heads over heels but I totally love the twist of the movie. Even Jiexiang likes it leh. He gives a rating of 4/5. Of cos, I give it 5/5, for the sweetness of the movie, and the unexpected twist in the movie :)

Well, there's this part which is so so so sweet, me and other girls (strangers of cos) went like "SOOOO SWEETTTTTT~" and I swear I'm not the only one saying that, thus hallucinating that the rest of the girls in the cinema said that too.

If anyone wants to catch that movie but no one wants to watch with you, FIND ME PLEASE.

I'm so gotta get the DVD when it's out.

Oh, as for the wet dreams part, I SO WANNA HAVE WET DREAMS OF JAY CHOU TONIGHT CAN! He's so damn talented!

• His piano skills in the movie is jaw-dropping
• Twist in the storyline is fantastic
• He can compose
• He can sing
• He can play the piano, cello, guitar, drumset, chinese flute, some other chinese instruments blabla
• He can write scripts
• He can direct MVs and movie
• He can act (okay lah, I think only for character with similar character traits of him)
• ..... I'm too sleepy to think of the rest for now! Just fill in the blanks yourself :)
  

P.S. The ending theme ,Jay's 不能说的秘密, has got an extra note at the piano part. (I think the music's a little faulty)

P.P.S. The word "Special" is spelt as "Specail" in the credits area.

Starburst Rattlesnakes

Yesterday I was at Vivocity Candy Empire looking for some junkfood when I saw Starburst gummies and was deciding if I should indulge in this yummy gummy. So expensive you know, $9.20 for the big pack and it didn't help when I heard this:

Auntie: (holding onto big Starburst gummy pack from the shelf) "So expensive! I can buy this at SGD2.50 in Australia for one pack!

T_T

How can I bear spending almost $10.00 for junkfood :( And I can jolly top up $0.80 to get 4 packs of it in Australia! Anyone who reads this and is residing in Australia? Can you send me some yummy gummy? I don't mind surface mail as long as I get a dozen of it to indulge in :( At least I can keep it for months and enjoy 1 pack every 2 weeks or something..

Who wanna buy me Starburst gummy?

Time for some updates!

Had a wonderful evening last Thursday with Jiexiang :) He made reservations at My Secret Garden and I must say the ambience is very romantic! Sad to say, not very worth it for the food though. Too expensive and the pasta tasted so-so. But I love the Brownie Mud Pie! SO HEAVEN! Too bad there's no Sin in Love. Well, it's also brownie but it's in heart-shaped :P

Think we'll definitely go back there for a dessert!

Caught up with Wendy last Saturday and I did a little bit of shopping and we chatted the whole day. To think we can do so much chatting and with Wendy around, it's always a sinful and fattening day.

Once we reached Far East Plaza, it's Shin Lin XXL chicken for us with Long John Silver's combo one. Did some shopping and headed down to Cineleisure's HK Cafe and munched on french toast, peanut toast, yuan yang and teh!

When we're done with HK Cafe, we took bus to Jurong Entertainment and drank fresh ice blended drinks at a cafe -_-;

Gosh and oh, maybe that's how I fell sick? HAH.

Met Jay Chou yesterday! Sadly, I wasn't the lucky 26 who got to interact with him. Well, we were asked to write our name, I/C and mobile number at the back of the pass and then 20 people will be chosen to get the movie poster autographed by him. A girl near me and my sister got selected (and god, she screamed so loudly can), but apparently because she didn't scribble down her I/C number she can't get the poster. So she went like: Ch** by* lah. Never write I/C no. only. F*ck lah..

-_-;

4 lucky people were called to play games with Jay and Gui Lun Mei but I must say the game's pretty lame. However, winners get autographed single and runner up gets autographed poster! ROAR.

I love the last segment though, which is Jay and Gui Lun Mei will select a pass from the box and then call the person. It's like a "secret". If they call you, you will get a limited edition musical box!

A girl near me and my sister received a call. SO LUCKY CAN.

The whole event lasted for two hours, which includes one hour of queueing, half hour of emcee talking cock and half hour of Jay's appearance.

I should have gotten the single instead :(

Who want give me the single? I love surprises, you know. All you have to do is purchase advance tickets for the movie and redeem it at Gramophone, The Cathay! Simple as ABC.

Any kind souls who love me so much? :(

MSN

This is what happens when you use commonly-typed words as shortcut for MSN icons..

Griffindor

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

WHEEEE~

Secret Tea Party

click for larger view.

OH GOSH, when I saw this poster on the homepage of Cathay website, I was like OMG I want to meet him but that started on 19th July for the redemption! I got to know it on 20th July by the way.

So I just tried my luck yesterday after the Harry Potter movie without high hopes cos I thought all of the passes would already be given away BUT NO...... I GOT IT!

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!

But the thing is, it's on 31st July and on 1PM at Dragonfly -_-; Who goes to club so early one? And dress code: school attire.

MEANS JAY WOULD ALSO BE IN SCHOOL ATTIRE. OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG.

I CAN SEE HIM IN PERSON LEH HOW. I'M SO EXCITED I TOOK LEAVE ON 31ST JULY. IT'S MY DREAM TO SEE HIM UP CLOSE AND I HOPE THERE WOULD BE PHOTO SESSION PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...........

Anyway, I also want the Collector's Item single can :(

WHO CAN GIMME PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE?

Just being random

I'm done with what I'm supposed to do; maintaining the website, editing 12 videos etc etc, so now I'm here blogging.

I've made up a list of things I wanna do before I die, hope I can accomplish all of it! (erh.. list is not complete yet cos those are what I can think of now.. will keep updating once I think of something!)

Random: I feel the opening theme for the Channel 8 9pm show every Monday to Friday sounds like Chinese New Year song -_-;

Okay, I don't watch that show in any case you think I watch it, but because I use my Cloud in the living room every night, right in front of my TV. It just sends the Chinese New Year mood in me everytime the song starts playing.

Chinese New Year means ang bao you know? HAHAHA, all the extra allowance :P not forgetting the cute kids I can play with when I visit my maternal grandparents in Malaysia.

I swear I'm gonna play with Wu Jun this time round. during CNY earlier this year, he kept coming over and want to play with me, but I was engrossed in gambling. No no, I'm not a hardcore gambler but I only gamble with my relatives during CNY ya?

Felt bad when I kept rejecting him though he keep "hmmmm~" in the please-leh-play-with-me tone.

Well at least I'm good with kids. He and his younger brother is always very dao to all strangers, including myself but I found them so adorable I swore to myself I'm gonna make them like it. I did it with the usage of my digital camera. *evil laughter*

I'm good :)

Worst Monday Blues

• I remembered I had to bring my jacket to work because I had Jiexiang's one washed at his place.
• So I placed my jacket right beside my bag.
• I remembered WhyWhyLove episode 7 should be out already.
• So I went to download the bittorent file and let it download.
• I remembered I was using my earphones in the living room yesterday. Must remember to bring it out later.
• Then I went to change, chose my footwear (nothing much to choose actually), refill my water bottle, even ate my 2nd last lozenge for my sore throat, and I headed out..

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• I had forgotten about my jacket.
• I had forgotten about my earphones.
• I decided not to retrieve it cos I'm late.
• When I'm just another 100m away from the bus-stop, I saw my bus drove past in high speed.
• I ran to chase my bus, and prayed that alot of people had to board so I could get in there on time..
• or at least the bus is packed so boarding passengers must wait for alighting passengers to alight before they can board.
• None of it came true. The bus closed it's door when I'm just 50m away.

:(

• So I waited for the next bus, and I'm late.
• To make things worst, I just felt like vomiting throughout the bus ride.
• And as I'm late, Jiexiang punished me by not talking to me throughout the day on msn :(

~.~

• When I reached, I saw the pile of DVDs and realised, oh shit, I have meeting today.
• I forgot to bring a decent bag to contain all the DVDs and will be holding it throughout the journey to meeting place. Sighs.

What a beautiful Monday.

Swap swap swap!

Started my first swap at Swap-bot community and I must say it's very fun! I participated in the bookmark swap though, since it's cheaper (considering postal fees, heh) and I was so happy when I received my mails!

Sister: How come you spree until overseas one?
ME: Huh?
Sister: You got mails from overseas..
ME: OH I KNOW.. THE BOOKMARKS!
So I happily went to my room and got out my mails..





Little goodies from my bookmark swapper. She wants to be penpal! Haven't got down to typing the letter but I'm very sure it's gonna be fun :D

Some random photos from the past:



Transformer which i saw at the gala premiere..



Mugs at Jiexiang's crib.. if you think that blue cup is horrendously big..



think again..

It's Alanah's mug because she has this weird habit that if she can't drink the water from the big mug, she will pour everything on the pour -_-; that red cup is just the size of my thumb!



I drew on Wendy's Nintendo DS :)



Notice what's missing? My Giroro!! Giroro's body is gonna be detached from his head.. so I decided to remove it and keep it :(

I need a keychain..

And I want a handphone strap.. I saw very nice handphone strap at PS Mu'ee but they cost like $22.90 CAN! Who'd spend so much just to accessorise your handphone? But it's so pretty :/



I LOVE THIS CHIWAWA.........................

20th Anniversary Concert

Finally finished Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire yesterday morning with my boy! Still didn't managed to bake our non-bake cheesecake but nonetheless, I'm happy that Jiexiang clicked very well with Wendy :) That's most important.

After Goblet of Fire, a little bit of WOW for him and F.R.I.E.N.D.S for myself, we headed down to Victoria Concert Hall for Yuhua Concert Band 20th Anniversary Concert. We were a little late as we lost our way! Thank goodness a car happened to leave and we found a parking lot immediately.

The pieces chosen were more slow and soothing rather than pop so it was quite tiring to seat through but the second part cheered up everything! Jiexiang's little sister, Wan Yi commented that the band is better than RI band, which I can't really comment cos I felt yesterday wasn't the best of performance.. nonetheless, I'm glad all of them enjoyed it.

Jiexiang "fell in love" with Ramdan. ROAR. Well, I must admit he didn't look as stiff and boring as the other percussionists (no offence really), but with the movements he put in, the feel of music and everything, makes it more enjoyable :D that's why my boy keep noticing him -_-;

Needless to say, Wan Yi thinks that the percussion section is the more outstanding section with the extra performance they're able to give but I beg to differ, it's just cos they can do much more with percussion. If the best section of the year has to look outstanding, and assumingly the bass section is the best section of the year, are we gonna have a little bass quartet for the concert?

But I thoroughly enjoyed the "monkey-ing" and stomping by the percussion section, not forgetting the soothing and unique steel drums performance.

On the whole, the concert was alright but I'm satisfied cos they gave me Khairunnizam solo :P However, I wished they played saxophone solo pieces so it'd melt me more wahahhaha. Very enjoyable for people who first time watch such band concerts though. And like Wendy wrote in her blog, I miss the good old days too..

"Yuhua Concert Band~ Bagus! 顶呱呱!"
(that's our band cheer by the way)

Hidden Talent

I don't always have a liking for drawing because I feel my drawing sucks but today I beg to differ!

It all started when I was kinda bored and drew the dog in my boy's msn display picture. It looks so cute I tell you.. but I forgot to save it after I screenshot :(

Anyway, he changed photo and asked me to draw this really difficult one but the result turned out not bad!

(click for larger views.. opens in new window)


Then my colleague, Karen, saw it and tried to do the same..


WHERE GOT PEOPLE DRAW THEMSELVES LIKE THAT ONE?!


Hahaha. Anyway I just wanna say I think I have hidden talent for drawing! Whahaha. Like what Ms Hema said in my Secondary School testimonial "Huei Shan has creative hands.."

:D

Additional thing you should know about me: somehow... I'm really scared of the laughter from a group of guys.. it's just so deep... so.. scary.. but of cos I never once tell that to my group of guy friends who laughed when I was near them because it's rude you know.. plain rude.. but I don't know why I'm just so scared of that sound lah..

Harry Potter

Right click and save this image and you see HPOoP.jpg. Okay, maybe so not funny at all cos I was downloading this image and decided to save it in initials. Of cos, I disregarded the "and the" not cos I deliberately do so, but cos I didn't think of that.

Anyway, that's not the point.

Had Harry Potter movie marathon with my boy yesterday! Initially when I asked if he wants a movie marathon for HP, he was like.. "Er.. ok lor" which I thought maybe he watched all before and felt so-so about it only but who knows he'd always pass HP off as a kids show!

But he got addicted to HP! Imagine 7.5 hours spent on HP, and that's only the first three parts of it. Gonna rent Goblet of Fire~

CAN'T WAIT FOR HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF PHOENIX!!

Next year will be Half-blood Prince and in 2010, Deathly Hallows!

I hope Daniel Redcliffe and the rest of the casts don't grow too fast! HAHAHAHA cos in their first movie they look so so so sooooooooo cute can <3

Oh and there's complains from two of my loyal readers that my previous skin was hard to read. Is this better?

:D

Orange

Suddenly felt like going orange. HAHA. Actually no lah, I wanna change skin, change to something more classic and beautiful. Got the image but haven't got down to doing it yet. Found this beautiful orange skin at blogskin so I thought why not use it.

Haven't used anything from blogskins.com from like forever already! :P

Transformers is very very very nice! Worth watching! I admit I'm not a Transformers fan but the movie is just soooo sooooo nice :)

Fantastic 4 will be next! Then in July is Harry Potter :D Can't wait!

Vrrooom vrrooom

Blogging time past so fast yet work time pass as slow as possible. Everytime I visit my blog, I have this thought "hmmm, I just update not long ago, guess there's no need for me to update already.." and vrrrrrrooooooooom, the last post I wrote is written at least 4 days ago..

Last week was the most stressful week for me and I'm glad to say I'm done with all I'm supposed to do! Hurrrayy!

Now I can sit down, relax and blog! HEHE!

I haven't complete my list of 28 Things You Should Know About Me right? I guess I shall finish this off today..

21) Every time when a crowded bus approach, I secretly wish I'd get stuck near the entrance. I know I know, it's weird! It's because I love to stand at the area near the entrance and it makes me feel as if I'm the driver! I can see exactly what lies ahead as if I'm really driving...

22) I love rainy nights, but I hate rainy nights accompanied by thunders! Every time it rains at night, I'd always hope it's not accompanied by thunders, cos thunders really freak me out (thanks to horror movies) and I'll go all moody and whiny (to myself -_-;) cos I'll dread the night :( I always wish someone is beside me to comfort me to sleep when that happens.....

23) My boy realised that my favourite food compromise of sugary or fried stuff! That's no good.

24) Sometimes I treat kids too well they take me for granted. Especially when I'm always looking for them to play with them. Eventually they will beat me because they know I won't punish them like others do :(

25) I think I have a hard time keeping close friends. Despite that, I'm happy to say I do have two handful of close friends whom I still meet up quite frequently.

26) I love to extract meaningful quotes from movies/dramas. And by extract I mean I really pause the show, turn on my laptop (if it's off) and then start typing away in my laptop, word by word. Yes, mostly it's quotes in Mandarin.

27) I love to play those Bishi Bashi machines in arcade and somehow my friends don't like to play it with me :(

28) I prefer sad songs to happy songs because I feel I could relate more to sad ones, and partly cos there's more sad songs rather than happy ones leh...

Whooooo! Took such a long time to finish this up :/

You know what's so sad? Shaker fries was back for some time and when I finally want to taste that fabulous MSG with my fries, it's SOLD OUT. Can MCDONALD'S please bring back shaker fries for me? :(

SO many blockbusters these days.. Catching Fantastic 4 today and tomorrow will be Transformers! Not a fan of Transformers but my boy has free tickets lah. HEHE.

Next month there will be Harry Potter! And and and and, the movie Jay Chou directed will be out soon? I heard it's July! But not sure if it's worldwide or just in certain countries before Singapore :/ But I know the movie theme song will be broadcast over the radio this thursday! *anticipates*

Will he organise a world tour concert soon? Please make it soon! The last concert he had was in 2004 lah.....

Weird Dreams

I dreamt that I found a very nice lunchbox while I was shopping with Wendy!

That's totally weird. I know I've been packing lunch to work (partly to save $$ and partly because it's less fattening :P), and I know I need a lunchbox but I actually dreamt about it -_-;

I forgot to add a few items to my Need list too:

• Lunchbox! (preferably with chopsticks/fork/spoon and with compartments so I can place my dishes separately in each compartment :D would be better if it can keep the food warm)
• Jacket/sweater! The last jacket I bought was like in 2005, the one from I.P zone when I was shopping with Wendy (super pathetic).
  

If anyone sees such fabulous lunchbox, please tell me! (or you can buy it for me if you're generous enough; orange in color would be great, and I don't mind seeing Tigger or Patrick or Giroro or my name or dinoshan on the lunchbox :P)

GSS

GSS is here yet I don't have the essential thing for it: MONEY.

All thanks to DBS' high interest rate of 4.75% which made me spend more than my first full month's pay from Cxrus just to top up the rest for my tuition loan fee. (I even had to borrow money, damn)

I need to create a list of things I need/want once I get my next pay!

I need:

• Decent and simple bag(s) which is smaller than my Fred Perry! (it's been with me for months and months and months)
• Intimate apparels! (okay, I mean bras)
• Obviously more tops!
• Another skinny jeans (or maybe I should wait till I slimmed down?)
• More accessories like belts, necklaces etc etc (I have so little selection even though I'm sometimes lazy or forget to put on a necklace)
• Good facial products (I need to care more for my complexion NOW)
  

I want:

• Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus by John Gray
• Jay Chou's album (actually his album for this year also not out yet but I will pre-order it when it's available lah. Will be sweet if someone would pre-order it for me :P)
• A pet dog (I know this is almost impossible lah but I can have dreams right?)
• Crash Bandicoot PS3 and/or PSP game! (I don't own a PS3 nor a PSP but my boy has it :))
• Giroro plush toy
• Patrick handphone strap

Okay, I know all my wants are very much irrelevant to GSS but I'm still putting that up.

A list of things I wanna accomplish before I die:

• Visit all the places in the world! (I truly hope I can fulfill visiting at least one country per year now that I have a job..)
• Try bungee jumping?
• Be in a ferris wheel with the one I love (not the one which can accommodate 37 other people please)
• Get a thrilling ride on the most exciting roller coaster!
• At least be able to witness the birth of my first grandkid
• Meet and greet Tigger + Patrick!
• Meet and greet Jay Chou/Rain/Alan Luo Zhi Xiang (pretty pretty please?)
• + so many more I can't think of right now!
  

Stupid Questions

Wendy and I had a good chat + catching up yesterday over dinner and after dinner hours about our life and relationships. Both of us were caught in this topic:

What's a guy's definition of "stupid questions"?

If a guy tells a girl: "I haven't been in a relationship for a long time already.." or anything like that, automatically a girl will reply asking: "How long already?"

I've encountered such situations before and I must admit the first instinct I had was to ask how long. Then either the guy answers me how long or just a I don't know or he comments it's a stupid question cos he doesn't know how long?

:/

Sometimes questions come with a set of questions as reply and sometimes a sentence can result in a question too. How do we girls know whether it's a "stupid question"?

Please enlighten me..

600th entry!

Oh great. This is how I'm gonna celebrate my 600th entry.

I almost got into a car accident today and my fingernail BROKE (not entirely but half was like broke can!)

I was on my way back to the office in my boss' car after a meeting when this car in front of us suddenly changed lane without signal. Had my boss drove in a higher speed, we'd have knocked into each other.

I was feeling stress with the amount of work piled up and the deadline is next Tuesday when I accidentally applied too much pressure when my finger was on my chair.



I have to produce 14 videos by next tuesday and get the site done :(

DARNNNN. When I saw the fingernail half in 90degree position, I tell you my immediate reaction was to push it back to original position.

Like it'd help..

:(

It's so painful can and my index finger feels numb.. I can't even trim my index finger till the part it bends 90degree because it was too way in..........





Had steamboat yesterday with M05 & co!

Some photos we took while waiting for the rest...





It was my first time eating steamboat at Marina Bay.. suaku? Better late than never!

So fattening -_-;

Some random and overdue photos:



I suspect HuiPing did that.



NICE! Totally expensive but I like it........................



This is how my desk looks like.. BTW that Beckham is not mine... (is that even Beckham?) It was left behind by my colleague..



Beautiful rose I gave my boy on his birthday. His first ever rose from a girl! :D



Extreme cuteness. I forced her tot ake this photo :P

Cupcakes cakes!

This is totally random but I was half browsing forums and half doing my work when I saw this thread "My Love for Cupcakes"



Looks so tempting and yummy!

I saw this too:



I WANT A CUPCAKE BIRTHDAY CAKE FOR MY 20th BIRTHDAY TOO!

(can forget about donuts cake liao. Have to queue at Donuts Factory leh.)

Some podders also ordered from the person who baked those cupcakes and said is delicious! OMG OMG OMG.

I don't like cakes because of the creamy filing but cupcakes don't have creamy fillings!

Cupcakes please!

28 Things You Should Know About Me [Part 2]

11) The insect I dislike the most is LIZARDS. Once I had one creeping on the side of my feet while I stepped out of the bathroom. Totally GROSS! They're so reptile-y. Eeks.

12) I can't really sleep with the lights on unless I'm really really tired. I have to make sure the curtains are drawn and wardrobe doors are closed before I could sleep too. (BTW, my wardrobe has sliding doors)

13) I have a blanket which has been with me since I was 10 or younger I think :D

14) Currently there's three Tigger plush toys and one Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants plush toy on my bed. One of the Tiggers is the one and only I bought for myself during my trip to Japan four years back, one given by Yong Xiang on my 18th birthday (it's so soft), one given by Ida as Christmas exchange gift last year. Patrick was given by Angeline from Video Ezy :D

15) I can't sit still in a cinema. I can't sit still when I work in the office too.

16) My favorite food potatoes! Mashed potatoes, whipped potatoes, french fries etc etc.. you name it, I like it!

17) I don't eat vegetables but I've set a resolution this year to eat more vegetables (partly because it's healthy and partly because I don't wanna start eating vegetables when I get pregnant next time.. what if I don't like it at all and my kid don't get the nutrients from vegetables?). I've found my favorite vegetable too: broccoli.

18) If you think I look like a slacker or at least the dumb dumb type.. you're wrong! I emerged third in my secondary school class and scored a nice 14 and 17 for my L1R4 and L1R5 respectively. In fact, most of my friends' jaw dropped when I told them I'm in the first express class for secondary three T_T (BTW I'm not boosting about my results, it's just part of the 28 things you really should know about it)

19) When I nag, it means I care.

20) I don't really like clubbing as I think it's just alcohol, dance and most importantly.. SMOKE! I find no point in hanging out there especially to catch up because the only possible way to communicate in clubs is by shouting!









WOOO. I finished this in seven minutes. I'm too stress I need a breather :/

Monday Blues

SO tired after my Malaysia trip yesterday.

Visited the ostrich farm, fruit farm and went to see fireflies! NICE!

Will update when I get the photos again.

:/ I wish I can juz pon work like how sometimes I can pon school when I feel super tired. Can't wait to go home, exercise, eat, watch abit of shows and hurry up sleep!

Zzzzzzzz.. my efforts of dieting for last five days I think.. gone!

28 Things You Should Know About Me [Part 1]

1) I used to hate Jay Chou like ALOT because I don't understand why everyone's just so crazy about him (including my sister who used to buy all his albums without fail), then one day I read an article about him in LIME mag and I love him! Well, he's like the type of guys I'd like.. shy around girls, filial, musically talented etc etc..

2) I think I may have some kind of premonition. Sometimes in the middle of a sleep, I suddenly wake up and something will sure happen. It would be either 1) it's raining and then the lightning struck, lighting up the whole room, followed by a huge thunder which always freaks me out 2) the fan in my room will stop working either cause there's a power failure or the plug got too loose as it's been there since forever, something like it's hinting me to get up and "save the fan" or I'll suffer with the humid.

3) I hate to shower/bathe when it's raining heavily, because the sound of the wind howling against my bathroom walls freaks me out.

4) I love Tigger. It's orange and bouncy and cheerful. Everytime when I see items with Tigger printed on it, I will feel the urge to own it, even though I don't see a need for it. But I never buy it anyway, cos I don't bear to. The only expensive Tigger plush toy I got myself was bought in Japan, I think it cost around SGD24? I don't remember.

5) I don't own a Levi's Jeans.

6) I love kids ALOT because they cheer me up with their simple minds. Kids trust the adults when they asked them to carry them.. they trust that the adults will not let them fall while they snuggle up in their arms.. I almost took Early Childhood Education but I'm too lazy to take the body checkup which is required, and took up my next interest: Web Designing.

7) I used to be a rebel in school when I was 14, but it's because my then form teacher don't like concert band students just because he thinks we spend too much time in band. He tried to bring me to the discipline mistress when he caught me playing truant twice and I was sucking the lollipop when he spoke to me, despite the fact that he asked me to take it out of my mouth; my sign of defiance.

8) I stole stationeries from my primary school bookshop and neighbourhood bookshops before. It wasn't because I couldn't afford it, it's because I love the thrill of it. I got caught and got scolded by my form teacher, my parents was ashamed of me, my form teacher never trust me from then on. I regretted immediately when one day there was a tough math question only me and my clever classmate could solve it, then my form teacher don't like my solution and asked the clever classmate to write her solution on the board. When she said hers is the same as mine, my form teacher suspected me of copying.......... Though everything is alright now because I had scored very well for my PSLE, it's still imprinted in my heart..

9) When I was eight, I hurt a friend badly. She was poor, and constantly beaten up by her parents when she didn't score 90+ for a test. I remember I used to buy her some food because I had more pocket money than her. One day, I don't remember what was the issue between us, but I remembered we quarrelled and I said something like "FINE, RETURN ME ALL THE MONEY I'VE SPENT BUYING FOOD FOR YOU" and she cried... I was young and childish, but somehow I remember this..

10) My first milk tooth dropped while I was biting two lego pieces apart.








I'm just bored. Why 28 things you should know about me? Because my birthday falls on 28th. I hope I'll have 28 things to write -_-;

You think you know me well?

Create your own Friend Test here

If you stumble upon this, please do it! Only bad thing is you gotta do a quick sign up to see your score.. So, if you love me, take this quiz :D

Guess Who

Simon Green: That's just it, she's everything I'm not. You know, she's my other half. Without her I'm not whole. You know the thing about meeting your other half is you're walking around, you think you're happy, you think you're whole, then you realize you ain't shit without her. Then you can't go back to being just a half 'cause you know what it's like to be whole.

A nice show to watch with your other half :D

Beautiful

I think pregnant women are the most beautiful people on earth..

Recently I've been seeing alot of pregnant ladies on the bus when I commute to and fro work. I think these ladies look very beautiful.

Some of them don't even apply make up but I still feel they're extremely beautiful. The bump bulging out of their body signifies a new life and love.. A new life waiting to be added to their family and love from their husbands and people awaiting the birth of the baby in them..

Ahhh! Maternal instincts.

Although I can't wait to grow older to get marry and have my own kids, I don't wanna grow old -_-;

Nuffnang

Came across Nuffnang at Xiaxue's blog. Looks good and since I used to have a blog counter to keep track of the number of visitors to my blog (and I get at least 20 visits/day), I thought I should give it a try.

As long as you generate 20 visits/day, it'd earn you some bucks. Not sure if I still get so much hits but no harm trying ya?

Had a great time shopping with Peng, Sil and Shu Chen on Friday. Broke can! I paid for everything first -_-;

We reminicise the good old times on our long journey back home.. Miss band life! They're having an upcoming 20th anniversary concert and I'm not gonna miss it :)

Had fun with my boy at Sentosa on Saturday! Well the weather was hot and we were sweating (or maybe just me) so felt sticky and felt like goin back home ASAP for a good wash!

Watched Pirates of Carribean 3 after that with Jiexiang's friends. So tired I fell asleep several times in the cinema and he caught me sleeping for a while :x

Didn't watch the 1st and 2nd Pirates of the Carribean but the 3rd's quite dull! It got excited during the last part of the movie but I don't really understand since I did not watch the first two.. hmm..

Went to my boy's house on Sunday to eat his mum's prawn mee. Nice! But he said the previous time is better.. I love the fried spring onion :P

Alanah so cute! While she was slowly walking down the steps to the kitchen, with me beside her watching her, she saw my horrible scar from scratching the mosquito bite on my leg.

"Aiyo!!!", she said.

Then I sat down and explained to her it's a mosquito bite and ask her to sayang it.

Cute. She sayang-ed it.

Stupid mosquitoes go away can? Though now mosquitoes can't aim my legs cos I cover it during sleep, they aim my arms -_-;

Arms is easier to control then legs though. BUT GO AWAYYYY!

Vesak Day this thursday and no public holiday all the way till August 9! Boooo!

Can we have more Public Holidays?

I'm back!

I know this is sudden but I'm back!

The sun has decided to come out and play!

:D

Have you ever had tears of JOY? I did and I remember vividly when it happened!

• SYF Gold award for Yuhua Concert Band (Twice or just once I don't remember)
• 'O' Level results! (which everyone thought I cried cos my results turned out bad -_-; I so slacker meh?)
• Passing Out Parade? Maybe it was for getting out of hardship, for growing up in band, for all the sweet old memories in band etc etc..
• Just now.. :) (I know you don't like it but those tears just flow down for a while..)
  

These were the most memorable tears of joys I remember shedding for..

It's late now and I've gotta work tomorrow.. T.G.I.F!

Shoutouts to Wendy: I don't think you'd read comments but anyway... YES we should meet up lah, my friend.. Give me a ring if you wanna meet up! Preferably one day before but if you call up last minute and I have something on.. then bo bian liao. And in case you have off day next thursday too, I'm 80% booked for picnic on Vesak Day and 60% booked for clubbing on the eve of Vesak Day :D

On Hiatus

This blog will be on a break for a few days because the sun is down..




I still believe the rainbow will come after the rain..

Shrek 3

I've watched Shrek 3 already! I know it's not screened yet but Jiexiang's dad invite me to the premiere :)

Shrek 3 is a bit disappointing.. I liked the first and second, but I think they made Shrek 3 kinda like for the sick of making? Shrek 1 was about how Fiona and Shrek met. Shrek 2 was about Shrek meeting his future parent's-in-law. Shrek 3 was about Prince Charming wanting to take over Far Far Away!

Initially I thought it was gonna be about how Shrek doesn't want to be a father and don't wanna be King either but it revolved more about Prince Charming -_-;

But I still appreciate the film though cos I've been through how 3D animation is done; modeling, texturing, skinning, studying how the characters behave (especially if the animation is about animals), animating etc etc........ AHH! Thinking about it drives me crazy.

It's not easy making a 3D animation film.

The goodie bag has got a pretty Shrek 3 notebook! I love pretty notebooks, but I stopped buying it cos the more I buy, the more I don't bear to use cos it's pretty and when you use it, you'd have to throw it after the notebook has been filled.. it's the throwing part that's really hard.. -_-; and then it just takes up space on the shelves (be it used or unused) and a waste of money..

A few has asked what has happened to my blogskin. Wahaha.. I suddenly wanna be default leh. I think the skin's simple and nice, not very fanciful and it's unique cos I added Dino!

And thanks for commenting, Wendy and Hui Ping.. :) it's quite a hassle to actually click on the comments link and then comment that's why most people avoid commenting and tag on tagboards instead, but you girls did! <3

SGsecrets

As much time as I had spent on SGsprees, I found a new LiveJournal community which keeps me reading (well, not that I read those sprees, I shop!)

It all started when I read TNP yesterday and some "secrets" were posted in there. Most of it sad, so I got interested and read it.

So addictive! Here's it.

I've read like a few hundred entries already, well mostly sad due to relationships. But it's interesting to discover some funny ones among the sad ones!

"I use my dad's shaver to shave my armpits"

"I know this sounds silly but whenever I wash my face in the bathroom, I'm scared to open my eyes because I'm afraid I will see a ghost behind me."

etc etc.

ME TOO ME TOO!

Not the using my dad's shaver to shave my armpits one but the second one! Sometimes when I brush my teeth in the middle of the night, I'd feel abit scared after rinsing my mouth because I'm so damn afraid I'll see a ghost behind me.. :/

Some are really sad. Like there's this girl who did alot of stupid things just cos she saw another girl's contact was under "family" in his msn. Till one month after they broke up, she hacked into his account and realised the password that got her into his account.. was her name..

It's inevitable girls would think too much in such minor matters.. It's just a matter of how we handle it; whether we talk things out with our boyfriends or just do stupid things that make things worst.

I won't exactly say I won't get jealous if I see my boy talking or getting close to this close girl friend of his but it's just a matter of how I'll deal with it. As much as I want my boy to be okay with me getting close to my close guy friends, I have to be understanding and surpass those jealousy I feel when he gets close with his close girl friends.

SGsecrets is nice to read. I guess the posts are mostly written by girls instead of guys, so I can totally relate to some, be it good or bad. I can even read the comments others give and learn some things!

A good online read when you're bored :D

*Updated:



OMG but that is brilliant. Actually most of the people who wrote in secrets can be designers! I think their secrets are written/decorated very artistically nice..

Unexpected

Sometimes it's nice to bump into someone unexpectedly and then the both of you sit down and have a long chat.

It was nice to bump into Xeno yesterday. I needed someone to talk to, or so I did not know it until he appear. Thanks for lending me a listening ear, dude.

Work is stressful as the cilent is demanding.

I just wish everything will be over soon! I hope the storm will march away and the rainbow will appear after the storm.. and please get rid of all mosquitoes..

I know, I know, my template looks very default now. I suddenly want something simple, something default, something common? Maybe sick of creating and maintaining webpages! Hah. Horror horror, I'm barely here for a month in my new company and this is the thing I'm gonna do for the rest of my life?!

No wonder adults say we will miss school days. Now I miss it. Though I can't deny the fact that with a full time job now, it means I have income but I prefer school life.

No humans can be contented, can we?

I want school life + stable income every month.. possible?

Maybe I can study part-time degree.. Any school wants me?

I also want to learn driving..

I suddenly wanna do something crazy.. write a message in a bottle and see if someone writes back! HAHA. I can leave an email or something. Okay.. this entry is getting nowhere. I'm outta here!

P.S. I'm lazy to add a tagboard on the side bars. Besides, no one really tags me so if there's anything, leave a comment! :D

Just bored

Time passes so quickly it's been a week since I last updated.

Monday has come and the blues is here.. I can't wait till it's Friday!

My colleague has left and I'm taking over her responsibilities.. Stress! I was just asked to do some updates and I kinda forgot how to get in the database. Now I can no longer ask her about it. Thank god I gradually found out how to get in myself. Although my colleague had already passed on whatever she has to but I'm just afraid I can't handle it. Besides, this friday will just be my first month being in this company..

Good luck to me!

And Photobucket removed my chocolate penis photo! LOL. It said I violated their terms of services :X

I'm feeling pain all over my body.. Last friday my leg cramped in front of Esplanade. It cramped big time and I couldn't even.. erm.. get my feet back to it's original position? I sat down in front of Esplanade and Jiexiang helped me "pushed" it back..

Could it be the menses that my leg still hurts now? It hurts so much especially after sitting down for so long.. Or maybe it could be the lack of exercise :/

PAIN.
