Had been pretty satisfied with myself… heh.. enjoying some time at home,.. packing, updating my organizer, clearing junk in my computer… spent loads of time walking around all the malls in my estate and guess what!
Café cartel, soup restaurant, ichiban sushi and siam kitchen is going into Hg mall!! Yeah! Especially Cartel…my favourite.. the chicken salad and St louise pork ribs…. Sodalicious.
Cool. I’m excited and all but I dun think I’ll go much also, despite how much I gush about it.. like the shihlin snacks stall.. when it came to hg mall, I was quite happy and told myself I’ll dabao the xxxxL chicken back everyday. And did I say it too early. It’s been opened for like half a year or even more, and I haven’t bought anything from there! Somehow I only feel like eating it when I’m out in town leh. It’s a town thing.
On half day today due to the medical check up which I need to go.. hopefully all can be done fast and chope chope I can go home and take a quick nap for my kickboxing later..
and I’ll make sure to bring along a bottle of mineral water just in case I can’t have an “urgency”later for the test…which is often the case.
I can still remember how bloody urgent I was when I was taking the coach to KL. Already so urgent and the aircon was still so cold and the best part was the horrible jam on the highway nearing KL. My heart sank and I decided to nap and not think about it.
When I closed my eyes I could only see the toilet bowl waving at me. Then I thought I got a cramp due to the intense flexing of my stomach muscles to control. When we finally got out of the jam, I thought the bus was supposed to drop people off in my hotel 1st. yes.. it was.. originally. But a stupid father went to the driver and asked him to detour to their hotel 1st coz his kids needed to go to the toilet urgently also. So the driver dropped them off 1st.. unfair. Unfair. After that I super told the driver to drive faster…hayaku..hayaku!

the problem with customer service... is that you don't get it when you need it the most
Dinnered with alf and buddy tan that day at NYDC. Just becoz I did not have a pen with me, I forgo the chance of writing in their feedback card.
Met alf earlier and we decided to go to the NYDC at wheelock first coz it was a Friday and we were afraid we might have to queue if we wait for buddy tan.
At about 7pm, we went NYDC and told the gal we needed table for 3. She asked us where’s our third friend and we said she’s on her way here about 15-20min later. She then told us she can’t give us a table for 3 coz she’s expecting a crowd later and we don’t have a friend with us. Siao!!!!
She’s mad. Crazy.
She said she could give us a table for 2 first. ???!! Who needs a table for 2! Think candlelight dinner huh. Seeing we’re not very interested, she asked us to leave first and come back with our 3rd fren later and she WILL give us a table for 3…and she kept repeating “ya..you all come back with your 3rd fren and I WILL give you a table for 3.”
I told her like what’s the point of us coming earlier then? We came earlier so that later anna can come and join us straight and no need to queue. Isn’t it first come 1st served? If people come late and gotta Q, that’s their problem. It’s not as if anna is not coming and we just want a 4 seater table for fun. She wants to forego out biz to make other peoples’ biz.. are we not biz for them???
I was quite pissed and she just replied “ ok.. I go and clear the table for you” so er3. we decided to order some finger food first while waiting and sure enough, there was a Q at 7 plus.. that stupid gal kept looking at us and finally she cant tahan no more and asked when is our fren coming, if not she’ll let the table out. What the ****!! So alf said he’ll call anna. So poor anna was stressed so badly and it’s totally not what we wanted coz there was a bitch stressing us.
So when anna finally came at 7.30pm.. (it was not very late in my opinion)..we purposely waved at her for her to take our orders… look look.. we are not ‘cheating’ you…we’re ordering something and our fren is here…koko desu.. mi raremasu ka???
anyways, not very impressed by her service coz her logic for arranging tables to cater to peak periods is so so wrong. Chigau. Chigau.
Baking cookies now.. again..hope they turn out right this time!

TGIWGGTBTH
TGIWGGTBTH! Stands for =>> Thank God It’s Wed GoinG To Be Thurs!!
TGIF shouldn’t be restricted to Fridays…we can change it to TGIM, TGIT, TGIW, TGITH. Makes sense la…we’re thanking god that Monday is here, so that Tue can be here. Then soon, Friday will come along. If there’s no Monday, then Friday will never come. Hmm.. but then again, if there’s no Monday, the day will stop on Sunday which will be even better! No need to work at all!…
oOooO00o0o0OoOo : : Dreaming can be Therapeutic : : oOooO00o0o0OoOo
That day I was waiting for the traffic light to turn green so that I can cross the road. But it took abit too long so I just crossed after seeing that there were no oncoming traffic.
Halfway there I looked up and saw a policeman looking at me a distance away.. shucks.. it was a police station lor. Jaywalked in front of a police station. Best. After hearing how maria got fined for jaywalking that day, can’t help but felt a bit uneasy.. haha. Never knew they were so strict in catching jaywalkers lo.. Jaywalking is relatively harmless to me. I wouldn’t even consider it an offence, even though so, just a small one which should be just served a warning letter or something. Sometimes, the traffic lights are built too inconveniently far from our destination and the only sane way to get to the other side is to jaywalk
I mean rules are there, and we all know jaywalking is wrong but never expected that they’ll really enforce it. That’s Singapore law enforcement for you!
Well, glad to say I wasn’t the only one. When I was on my way back crossing the same junction, I saw Lee Si Song…or Wei Song..( I still can’t differentiate them.. the betterlooking one who discovered yanzi).. ok..i think it’s WeiSong. He was impatient too and jaywalked. Haha. Anyway, I turned back and saw the same policeman looking at him (or was it an illusion due to guilty conscience). But guess it’s not within his scope of work to book people for jaywalking so he didn’t care. Btw, WeiSong had purple and white streaks on his fringe which looked pretty cool.

A cOuch pOtatO's pOst.
Nothing much happened during my weekend since now half of my sat is devoted to nurturing the younger generation…met up with the usual suspects for dinner! Shall just refer to them as the “usual suspects” coz lazy to type their names and dun want to offer free publicity for them also.
Went to this café near our place which provides diners with board and card games to play. Abit like settlers’ café near Clarke quay there… except the food here is more affordable but of coz the quality is compromised as well.. well, it’s good just to hang out (..we ate for 1 hour and played games for like 3 hours..) and it’s near our place. So. Heh.
Think they gotta improve on the quality of their food soon coz if we’re sick of the games there, we’ll go for the food the next time round. If they offer none of the above, then I think they will close down very soon… judging on the location of the café also..very ulu.
Just watched this star idol finals thing. Not that I want to watch but there was absolutely nothing on tv. Ok la..at least can see my zoe tay. She wore a really nice dress and her fringe and hair looked gorgeous!... feel like cutting that kind of fringe also! That Ma JingTao looked horrendous on the contrary and still dare to sit beside my zoe. Hrmph. My god… his hair and shades look so Gao LingFeng. The curry puff hairdo… eeeks. Weird.
Wasted my time watching it. Contestants: Can’t dance, can’t act, can’t talk, wrong facial expression. Host: terrible host (namely bryan wong.. ironically the winner is called bryan wong too.).. he sounded like he was reciting Tang Poems at times and sometimes he looked like he was doing a 演讲 in the school hall. Actually I shouldn’t be too shocked la. It wasn’t an out of the ordinary performance for him…it was just usual of him.
My greatest achievement was to be able to catch Ashin in Zhiyong dian li school… and I finally tried cooking scrambled eggs for the first time.. palatable la.
oOooO:: This is such a boring post… I feel bored even typing it. wahahah. OooO0oo00o

ashin saved my bad hair day!
Must try to stay awake…stay awake…stay awake…stay awake…..
Trying to type my way out of feeling sleepy. Naz is going genting tonight till Sunday! I want to go too! I want to take a holiday! Maybe in June ba..or something. It’s a headache trying to think of where to go since I want it to be cheap and green. But nowhere is really cheap nowadays unless Malaysia lor.. which has almost 0 appeal to me except for the tau sar biah.
Yesterday was a disastrous day for me! Or rather for my hair. Super bad hair day.
Woke up in the morning and decided to use the new hair wax I bought from watsons..the jap jap brand called Lucidol or something. The containers for the different hairstyles are differentiated by the little stickers of the models showing different kind of hairstyles they can maintain using the wax (gel, cream, wax, mousse… whatever la.. I dunno the difference!). Quite a prominent product on the shelves coz of the stickers.
Well.. So I decided to use it so that I can make my fringe look more side-parting rather then centre-parting. Usually I use only a little for the fringe to keep it in place to the side. But yesterday I decided to experiment using more for the top part of my hair instead to create the messy volumous hair look. But turned out my hair looked greasy when it’s actually not… for the whole day! Sianz. I never like to put stuff on my hair before and I think I shall maintain it that way.
I felt so uncomfortable that I decided to pull back my fringe and hair into a ponytail at the end of the day. When I met naz, I kept asking him if my hair looked greasy and he said they don’t. Fine. Maybe he just doesn’t want me to grumble to him the whole night about my hair. Haha. Or maybe I’m just not used to seeing my hair with hair cream la.
Went kinokuniya after dinner and bought ashin’s happy births day book…inside got a free cd single! Yay!! Thought I had to buy it separately. Didn’t know till I opened it at home. Heh. Got 10% discount also… but that’s nothing I guess.. kino’s prices quite inflated also I think.
Was browsing around in kino after I took the book and naz said “waaa.. you really look very happy to get your ashin book hor?!” I replied, “of coz la.. but if you buy this book for me, I’ll be even happier!!” … not expecting him to really buy, coz he’s not that type but saying it just to see his reaction..hah..
“oh..sorry, I won’t buy garbage for my galfren one.” Was his reply.!!!! Ta.ma.de. so the next 10 minutes were spent listening to me telling him how talented ashin is and how cute he looks and why this book is so worth buying. Bet he regretted that. Haha
oh ya.. wanted to buy this book on guai shou and his guitar story…which is another $30..! contemplating when naz came over and took the book from my hand and placed it back onto the shelf..(I was staring at the cover of the book for like 3 min.thinking whether to get it anot.) saying “one book at a time pls.” Ya..think I’ll cut the kino coupon out for 20% discount before I go and get it.
Also bought a pair of heels which I think will give me blisters but it’s cheap la..keeping fingers crossed.

quiet..! Listen to the sensei talk..~
Loads to do to become a sensei.
Firstly, I gotta take the Chinese Proficiency Test. Waaa..i from higher Chinese one leh..you dare to question my proficiency?! Ok la.. so I got a D in my A levels. But exams are times when freak results always happen. It’s like 50% luck. You could have done super dupa well during your normal tests and daily work but you get a freaking D in your exam. It’s normal. Just that now, I gotta fork out $40 now to take the test. Think I got really too much okane to spare isit.!? Sighz.
Secondly, I gotta go CISCO to take a photo for the public servants card. And it’s at some ulu pandan place again. Doshite not any photoshop near my house?! Sighz
Thirdly, I gotta go for a pre-employment check up. Ok..this is quite normal since they wouldn’t want a sensei who keeps Happy-Ing MC-Ing. Still a hassle regardlessss. Sighz number 3.
Fourthly, gotta wait 4 months before I start my contract teaching. So much trouble for a contract position.. don’t even know if can be permanent anot. Scarly I teach for a few months and they happen to surf into my blog and see the broken, chap palang English I’m using here, they decide to fire me to protect the reputation of the school…
Anyways, been missing out on my tvb dramas, amazing race, and AMI…shucks. Feels horrible not able to take my usual dose of tv programmes. Taped almost everything but haven’t got time to watch at all…!!
Ok..i’ll start with watching AMI now…ganbatte!!! (^_^)9

no space for KickbOxing~
*P/s: Outdated post blogged on 15/03/05 afternoon*
Here I am……blogging in office.. feeling taihen sleepy now. Tonight got to teach tuition somemore… think I’ll look as tired as the kids.. kids! Let’s slack together!
Think I haven’t recovered from my past 2 weeks’ routine of waking up at 11pm. Now gotta wake up 3 and a half hours earlier than usual (which soon will be abnormal). My body finds it hard to adapt and obviously doing a silent protest.
As if it’s not enough, the energetic side of me decided to sign up for kickboxing. Yup! Had my first lesson yesterday with sharon san..zhe san couldn’t join us as she was sick but we called her after that to update her on the class and to gossip about the 2 ah peks who signed up for kickboxing also. Eeewks. Color wolves!!!
The dance studio was way too small to accommodate 20 people lor.. and this is kickboxing class we’re talking about. And sure enough, sharon san dio a fei mao tui from the gal on her right and I dio a fei mao tui from the gal behind me. The gal in front of me kept looking behind to make sure her power back kick wasn’t aiming at my face. The room is too SMALL!!!
Ok la..the instructor looked really cool with her moves though. Petite but well-toned (duh..anyone seen a huge fat instructor before??). Though I got mirror right in front of me, but I don’t really dare to look at myself coz my moves looked really awkward. Haha.. when I’m kicking, I don’t know where to place my hands and when I’m boxing, I dunno how to move my legs.. My feet kept doing the aerobics kind of jogging on the spot which I think is totally wrong. Must be those stylo kind like bruce lee footsteps when he’s jumping on the spot, all ready . Hmm. Okie.. I dunno the exact term for that.
Now suffering from a huge body ache all over my body especially my arms which I seldom work out.

saved and forgotten..as always.
Shucks. Typed and saved my post in office today but forgot to bring home the diskette!! S.i.a.n.z. you know..it’s that kind where I’ll tell myself 1 min before I leave the office to remember to bring the disk home, then the next minute I can walk out without the disk. And I do this quite often by the way.
Just home and I AM going to post it tomorrow. Going to rest now..had a bloody long day with the day ending with 2 inquisitive kids and no dinner in my stomach…yet.
In search of tabemono now… DND.

I not stupid 3
I think kids nowadays are quite poor thing.
Imagine a Primary 5 kid was given a cloze passage regarding dinosaurs, museums, curators and what a curator does. A sentence in the passage says “ We have been conceiving the theropods _____ dinosaurs having a long beak…blah blah..” and the sentence went on for another 2 lines. Such a long complicated sentence to understand! I had to read it 3-4 times to fully understand before I could choose an appropriate word to fill in the blank. Theropods is a kind of dinosaur by the way. There were a few vocab which I haven’t seen in my whole life, not to say the kid. That passage was a headache for me, but the kid seemed immune. No complaints from him whatsoever! Wakaranai. Think I was complaining to him more. So sad. He’s already void of all emotions….默默地承受一切。。。he’s a 沉默的羔羊。
Their science syllabus is even worse. They’re learning the solar system and cells. Like a parent cell will split up to produce 2 daughter cells. Kaoz. I didn’t even know that. And a plant cell has a cell membrane, chloroplasts, nucleus, cytoplasm and cell wall. ???!! don’t think I learnt that when I was P5. They’re definitely victims of info, vocab, concept overload.
I was explaining to them a certain cheem cheem concept and I accidentally said the word “wah lau, if this this this happens, then wont that that happen?” impatience setting in as you can see. He was dam amused by wahlau and kept repeating wahlau in my face. Urgh! Fine…just a slip of my tongue lor. Through out the lesson, he couldn’t forget wahlau and kept giggling like in the middle of doing a maths problem sum.. I hope he doesn’t go and 打小報告 to his mum though. Hah..
Anyways, was talking to my lehlio buddy junyi san that day and he taught me a rhyme to help kids remember where to put the symbol on top of hanyu pinyin. It’s pretty cool!hehe…here’s how it goes:
有 “a” 不放過 ( “a” pronounced as “ah”)
無”a” 找 “o” “e” ( “o”/ “e” pronounced as “or1” “er1”)
“I” “U” 並列排 (“I” / “U” pronounce as “yi1” “wu1”)
單字不用說
and again, he found it very funny.
Going jogging now, there was a sudden downpour just now. the wind was so strong till I couldn’t close my window and my pot of plant outside toppled over, pot broken. It’s still lying crippled at my corridor…

gleefully employed.
It was a meaningful day with quality-time… or rather..shopping-time (-_-ll) spent with my okasan… she found job today and going to start work tomorrow.. wow.. feel really glad for her coz she’s so employ-able at this age…really good.. so I always think it’s good to possess a skill which you’re superb at. Something which you can always fall back upon.. okay.. not related to okasan’s case coz she has always been doing it for a living.. not as a back-up. She was all excited and held my hands up in victory with hers and shouted, “我們出去慶祝一下。。。慶祝我們重出江湖﹗” errr.. you should have seen my face at my void deck, luckily no one was around except for an old ah pek sitting at the bench with a blank look on his face… just like mine.
Yup… I decided to go back to where the grass is always green and nice.. my fave temp employer to work part time before starting the contract in July. I finally 相通了not to 跟錢過不去. With my current commitments in the area of ..F.o.o.d, $6.50/hr really taihen not enough. Yah..and I’m talking about food only..a basic need.
Our celebration included a shopping to trip to Ikea and our day ended with a Suki Buffet…which both, I ..watashi paid. Guess who was the happiest ?? Answer: Okasan ne.
Abit of sidetrack from “ a meaningful day”, Sam’s comment made me think about how old school I am actually… indeed, I’m super dupa old school..
backstreet boys were my fave band and I could even dance to their mtv dance routines..like “everybody” and “as long as you love me”. I have video tapes of all their MTVs painstakingly recorded, trying as best to omit all advertisements..perfection is what I adhere to. It’s not easy k… sitting by the tv whole day just to see when they’ll replay the same MTV.
Another old school fave was Eric Suen 孫耀威.. .~ 認識你真好。。只不知道。。” I was head over heels in love with him… which I wonder why now.. haha.. but teenagers are usually the most irrational lot don’t you think?! I was so crazy till my classmates gave me a nickname “eric” . so instead of Shirley… they called me Eric… what d hell. Ahhaha.. but it sounded really 親切..coz nobody else in other classes knew who they were referring to when they were talking about me… and to add on to their curiousity, I was in a girls’ school..fyi.keke.
The chasing ou xiang phase made my okasan dam worried that I’ll just fail all my subjects and end up being a full time star-chaser..
Okasan..told u I’ll grow out of it didn’t I?... I did!
Yup. So much to yak for the day. So tired now coz I had serious insomnia last night after drinking bubble tea. Naz couldn’t believe that a $1.50 bubble tea has enough caffeine to keep me awake..well… believe it then! Nah.. he’s just grumpy that I made him chat with me coz I was awake and bored… not that he did chat with me for very long also lor.

what did i dO tOday..... I...
Finally got my butt moving to find a temp job today..visited a couple of agencies..ermm. actually only 2..haha.. the bigger ones la.. adecco and kellySvcs.
Went Kelly first and when I was in adecco, straightaway got job offer from Kelly liao. Sianz. I was, of coz, very happy, but when I heard the per hour pay..like… “ $6.50-$7 /hr… you ok with it?” … I had to be thick skinned abit and try to beat around the bushy bush about my 2 years working experience, and asked her to negotiate for me.. not forgetting to say that if cannot increase pay, I’ll still gladly consider… *urgh..slapped myself in the face totally.* think they’ll prob come to me said the negotiation failed..without trying. Haha.. whatever.. so lame..cool man.
… come on lor, when I was temping during schooling days, that was what I got too.! Understandable coz I didn’t have working experience then… now got working experience also same pay meh??! Ya..although it’s still temp.. but shouldn’t we be considered higher class temps now that we’re better prepared and all trained to work our butts off and more well equipped to handle office politics and at the same time, display our skills at getting other departments to do what we need them to do….. fast.
Doshite lower-paying jobs are always so eager to employ.. when I was looking for perm jobs, like…almost zero really got back to me. Dim gai ah.
Oo0Ooo000o0OoOO0o:: Tell me why.. Aint nothing but a heartache..tell me why..aint nothing but a mistake…. Tell me why I never want to hear you say… I want it THAT way… :: Oo0Ooo000o0OoOO0o
Btw, the OmU Rice @ taka food court level is super oishii.. though I wished the rice could be hotter (as in temperature ‘hot’)… it’ll b perfecto ne! mo yasui .. tabe nakereba narimasen!

the wOlf creeKs haPPiely. (^_^)
Caught “Wolf Creek” today at cine..its cool.. watching movies during weekday noons, less the crowd, less the price too…
I thought it was a story about people who got chased by wolfs- horror cum thriller. errr.. it turned out nothing to do with wolves at all.. wahahha.. about a psychotic killer who lived in the outskirts of Australia and whose hobby was to prey on travelers whose car had broken down, offering help to them, it seems, but in actual fact, planning to murder them dunno for what. Okie..dun sound very interesting hor. Haha.but it was quite gruesome and exciting only towards the end… the beginning of the show was time for you to catch up on your lost sleep if applicable.
Anyways, we had cartel set lunch today..it was value for $$.. $7.50 for soup, drink, main course, ice-cream and free flow of bread. Super value rite?!!! Another good place to go!!
Then came home liao coz naz got some project discussion…managed to reach home in time for campus superstars…. Standard really ok only.. though I think the guys sing better than the girls.
Ha..got my outcome today!! FINALLY!!!! NO more waiting to open mail @2.30!
Now is time to look for temp jobs to occupy me till july...don’t be too happy.. another round of job search is about to starto.. meanwhile………… I want to sing!!!>>>

frOzen caReeR
The career fair was a waste of time lor. The bigger booths were all the government booths and the smaller booths are so sardined packed together that you wouldn’t want to waste your energy to squeeze right to the back of the hall just to see heads, heads and more heads.. .sighz.
took some brochures for tour leading coz I really want to become a tour guide…. But can or cannot is any question… and can or cannot afford to is the next question… the course fees not cheap lor. To learn about the history of Singapore and how to present Singapore in the best way possible…wished I had paid more attention during history class.hah
anyways, the idea is out..quite confirmed after hearing what the woman explained.
Next, felt like taking a baking course to be a baker or chef. Cool rite?!! As you can see, I’m not at all discouraged by my cookie-gone-wrong experience.. we all learn from our mistakes. Think I’ll be fat sampling all my gone wrong food…da me.! Guess my dream to open a small cosy café selling nice drinks and yummy cakes will remain a dream.000oooo0o0oo0
Went to the police booth and enquired on how long the whole application process will take…this guy who looks like he’s not very sure told me… about 1 year….YES. Ichi Nen. Yi4 Nen2… nan de?!!!! I was like “ one year????” he got taken aback by what he himself said also and went to seek reconfirmation. Got another officer and he said..yess…if everything goes on smoothly, there’ll be 4 rounds of interview and if we apply now, appointment will be in august and December they’ll start actual training. Ok. That’s like 9 months…big difference! Sighz. … I really want to be a police lor. I asked him whether they favor guys to gals. They say no. duh. Should have expected the answer. But I think they have lower quota for gals.. confirm lor. Just that I think they’re trained not to reveal that to the public.
-----Another career opportunity gone
we got bored after a while and with our hands full of brochures, left the place.. I really hate suntec, it’s too big and too crowded on Sundays to move around properly. Lots of travel fairs were on also…which I stood outside and drool coz my bank warns me- no participation in it till I get a decent job.
Came home watched a dvd “fever pitch”. It’s quite nice…romantic comedy kind by drew Barrymore..light to watch and I had 2 sandwiches to go with it…with lots and lots of honey mustard (my latest addiction… must add it onto all my crackers, bread, hotdogs.. try it..it’s oishii……) .. tried mixing horlicks with 3in1 coffeemix and the result was a BITTER sucky drink which none of you should ever try unless you’ve got too much too much horlicks to waste. Horlicks is expensive! was just checking it out at NTUC and realised they are pretty ex.. more ex than milo or ovaltine… well, I just wasted some.
Oh.. Nanny Mcphee is good as well…watched on dvd too…quality super good though it’s not out in the movies yet.. pretty entertaining and you’ll feel like murdering those kids in the show.

cookie gone wrOng....xxxxx
Just finished baking my cookies and they’re really the ugliest cookies I’ve ever seen. Not only they look ugly and unappetizing, the worst part is they turned out looking more like brownies. I mean ugly jiu suan le, if they look like another kind of food altogether then that's super sad. and to add on to the tragedy, i could already tell that they WILL look like brownies when they were baking in the oven...
Digital cameras are wonderful inventions with the ability to capture the ugliest and prettiest, happiest or saddest moments of each and every moment of your life. For this case is the combination of "ugliest and saddest".. I took a few pictures of the cookies in different angles and with different backgrounds hoping i could find at least one pic that makes the cookies look less like brownies.. but they all look the same. Self-delusion is not the way to go.. we should accept them just as they are, just like how we accept our friends the way they are!! yeesss!
In case you're interested in exactly how hideous they can look, dozo.
So these ugly cookies are about to be deported to different people as I’m not going to let them be found anywhere near my house or anywhere near the person who created them (aka. : me). Sorry zhe san, Sharon san and nazzy naz san, I meant to bake it for you all to try (didn’t know it would turn out this way.. not coz it was ugly so decide to dabao for you all k…) . I have absoultely no idea how come they started melting and each meant-to-be-individual cookies merged together to become one huge piece of cookie. haiz. its fated.
BUT! never judge a cookie-turned-brownie by its cover, I tried a piece just now and it really tasted quite good! Btw, they taste like brownies too..(-_-ll)

Can't help falling in love...with Chris!
Latest craze ==> Chris Daughtry!!=================>>>>
Hot on the heels of AMI5…especially love this guy chris..he can really sing!! Totally agree with the judges that he’s got a great recording voice… my god..great RECORDING voice… what does this mean?? Means he’s got quality vocals and need not further training, just head straight into the studios and record an album!
His voice is similar to one of my favourite singers, the male vocalist of matchbox20… Rob Thomas..can’t help falling in love with..that type of voice, clear, strong, manly and yet slightly boyish, with just the right amount of rock-element in the voice. Ooohh. Droolz. Like Bon Jovi’s voice is nice, but more towards the rock and rugged side, but still nice. Rob Thomas’s kind is best. Or the male vocalist from The Calling is also similar to rob..dam ichiban.
Well, back to chris… he’s so cute. Can you imagine he’s a father of one already..yess..he’s married. I think if I’m the wife, I’ll make him sing me a song every night before I sleep and one song every morning to wake me up. Nothing can be more therapeutic and refreshing than this man….romantic at the same time too……O.°O°°o0o°o0oO0ooo°° *dreaming can be therapeutic too.*
So you all should just catch AMI 5 just for this guy.. he’s so good.
Ashin came out with his book about this experiences on songs compositions and of coz, to share with us where on earth he got his inspirations for his lyrics… till today I’m still amazed at the lyrics he wrote for 擁抱.. check it out﹕
脱下长日的假面 奔向梦幻的疆界
南瓜马车的午夜 换上童话的玻璃鞋
让我享受这感觉 我是孤傲的蔷薇
让我品尝这滋味 纷乱世界的不了解
昨天太近明天太远 默默聆听那黑夜
晚风吻尽荷花叶 任我醉倒在池边
等你清楚看见我的美 月 光晒干眼泪 那一个人爱我
将我的手 ~ 紧握
抱紧我吻我喔爱~~~别走*
隐藏自己的疲倦 表达自己的狼狈
放纵自己的狂野 找寻自己的明天向
你要求的誓言 就算是你的谎言
我需要爱的慰借 就算那爱已如潮水
repeat*
那一个人爱我 将我的手 紧握
抱紧我吻我喔爱~~~别走
抱紧我吻我喔爱~~~别走
抱紧我吻我喔爱~~~

HapPy.Birth.Day.
詞曲 五月天阿信
為什麼奶昔不甜 為什麼風景不美
因為你 在身邊 世界只剩下 一個焦點
一開始你就特別 從眼神就很體貼
我們都 不穿鞋 光著腳穿越 耳語流言
在這之前我到底是誰
你出現 我眼前 一瞬間 一切都改變
Happy birth day 你就在我身邊 和你吃苦一生 勝過天堂一天
Happy birth day 告別憂傷昨天 自從遇見了你 才是我 Happy birth day
風箏和風在纏綿 詩人和詩在兜圈
你坐在 我旁邊 這一種快樂 無法描寫
世界我環遊一圈 看很多空中小姐
都沒有 比妳美 第一名模也 只能閃邊
為什麼快樂也會流下眼淚 灌溉了我的荒野 開滿了玫瑰
我不累 我不睡 我不休息 我不闔眼 我不想浪費每一秒 在這 有你的世界
what's outside the window huh??

feeling hOt and amazed.
I feel super hot now. ima…ima. Geh2 kiang3 went tanning yesterday and didn’t buy tanning oil coz naz said he had an extra bottle and will pass to me today. but yesterday’s sun was so strong and good I just had to go regardless. Slapped loads of moisturizer all over my body coz I’m totally lobster red.. didn’t sleep well coz the skin at my shoulders were painful.. okay, I know, no one is going to pity me no matter how much I’m whining now. my mum asked me if I intend to be a gek leng gia, go and tan until so dark. I replied her … “no”.
Watched the amazing race just now and it was so cool. Exciting and watching it I could already feel my adrenaline rushing liao.. needless to say if I was IN the game. Seriously, if I could join, I would! 1st and foremost preparation would be to get pills to delay periods if applicable. That’s probably, to me, the biggest minus point of being a female since I like trekking, cycling and stuff.
Ask me about my Mt Ophir trip, try changing pads at night in the middle of the mountains, squatting…yesss. Squatting!! in a small tent with the only source of light-torchlight, with a friend jaga-ing outside to ensure nobody barges into the tent. Felt totally relieved after the ordeal and when it was my friend’s turn, I jaga-ed for her and to my horror, realised that everyone else could see what you were doing in the tent coz of the shadows casted by the torchlight. Wah lau. cool it cool it…It’s all over..it’s all over.
To spice up the experience was the fact that we hadn’t bathed for like 2-3 days and the only form of bath we had were powder and sweat-baths. Think we were super adventurous then man. Could have been more fun if I am a guy… they could just jump into the waterfalls for a quick bath without thinking and we gals could only watch on green with envy. To make it more irritating, they kept asking us WHY we don’t want to chill out at the waterfalls. Why huh..? why huh? Come down la! It’s so cooling. Aiya..don’t be scared la.. we are here. Excuse moi, FYI, we are not scared. Irritant is their middle name.
Tuition cancelled today… meeting naz for a meal later one at kenny’s..haven been there for a long long timeeeeee.
*Patience is a virtue*
