am back with more than just muscle aches

Hi people! I'm back from LTC last last night!
am still waiting for the photos to upload onto the nanyang website so i can steal it from there...
and also waiting for photos to be sent around my group! (:
in the meantime, i shall show you some horrid pictures of my pitiful skin. :(((((

kay. this is from my left arm. (upper arm) it started peeling last night. can you see like, how DARK i am now?!

this is also from my left arm. (basically, only my left arm peeled. i dont know why. probably cuz the sun was shining from the right that day?!?! no idea.) yup. the previous photo of the other peeling is supposedly to be at the bottom left of the second picture. *sob sobs*

cant stand it. peeling in patches! i'll have serious uneven pigmentation after that! rahhh.

this is our proud Sir Bedivere logo!!! (:
basically, the entire camp is divided into 3 sub-camp: Tintargio, Avalon & Camelot (i dno if i spelt the other 2 correctly. >.< )

well, i belong to Camelot and we are further divided into 4 sub-groups: Sir Bedivere, Sir Bruno, Sir Ector and Sir Galahat.

yeap. basically, that's it.nothing much to blog about till the photos are up >.<

-pain.......

Women DO not need occasions to shop

ALRIGHT! MY APOLOGIES!
IT'S "Women DO not need occasions to shop."

shopping with my mum and my aunt today! (:

went meritus mandarin with my mum to meet my aunt.felt so tai-tai-ish larh! could immediately smell the "expensiveness" of the place the moment i stepped in. it's like an invisible aura surrounding me, it's in the air i breathe..
oh wells, we proceeded to...
Chim Culture!
it's a really cool place for gowns! ((:


TADA! their showcase piece! it's really really pretty! with all the sequins and embroidery.
AHHH. i just so feel like getting married the moment i stepped in here! (except, it's not ONCE, i wanna get married like, a gazillion times until i've tried all the gowns!in the world maybe?)


see?! i TOLD YOU it's gorgeous!

AHHHHH. so many gowns! (maybe they dont look too gorgeous from here, but they are REALLY REALLY BEAUTIFUL!)

pretty. gorgeous. flowy. silky. captivating. tempting. GOWNS!

WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE?!!!

i feel like i'm in lala-land. i do look like i'm in lala-land. (panda eyes from chiongin serials too much. i think i drank too much water before slp too last night and i had water retention. my eyes are the most OBVIOUS part when i have water retention.) BOOS! :(((

oh wells. my cousin's getting married on the 22nd of december!
so my mum and i accompanied my aunt to get a tailor-made dress for the wedding! afterall, she's getting a daughter-in-law! must look her best ((:
so today's her 2nd fitting. her(hopefully) last fitting will be beginning of december!
and all these frenzy with her getting a gown has gotten my mum and i into a fervour of getting us gowns too!
(i swear this is the first time we took wedding so seriously. i mean, gowns?! my mum already bought a skirt, a topshop dress and today, a Daniel Yam knee-length gown! or maybe "dress")
and she has got on top of her list: a warehouse gown for me or a IS boutique knee-length gown/dress for me to choose.
HA. now i am really beginning to wonder how did i survive the past wedding dinners without looking G.L.A.M?!

holy crap. i've really began to understand the "philosophy" of "Women DO not need occasions to shop."
HA. enlightenment! my mum is an adequate example.
THREE WEEKS ago, claimin that she needed an outfit for my cousin's wedding, she bought an ankle length somewhat moss green or sea green skirt. i cant remember. it's GREEN.
yup. and TWO WEEKS ago, she bought a greenish-gold dress from topshop, using the SAME EXCUSE.
and TODAY, using the SAME OLD EXCUSE, she bought a Daniel Yam beige gold knee length dress/gown!
whoots.
oh wells. i'm NOT complaining. hehs. cuz as long as the same "philosophy" is being used on me.
i already got a mini skirt and a top. and now she's plannin to get me a gown too to accompany her. maybe i should psycho her into getting the topshop skirt that i really want. (the one that old man bought for his classmate!!!) and den when she buys the skirt, i'll tell her i dont have a top to go with it. HA!

i love shopping. and my shopping queen mum.

P.S. does any one happen to know the song of the advert played on Channel 5, the one starring the Singapore Idols? the beginning goes something like "Love is the answer released for most of the questions in my heart..." (i'm not sure if i caught the lyrics right.) PLEASE if anyone knows this song, tell me the title!!! i cant find it no matter how i google the lyrics!

Visit to Temasek Poly

went to crash chloe at Temasek Polytechnic today!
aye aye.
mum drove me there and chlo came to pick me up((:
we had lunch at the IT canteen and true enough,(according to chlo) the food wasn't very good.bleh.
had a long long chat until it's time for the Immunology Lecture.hehs.
at least i could understand what antigens and antibodies are(:
and i had a good laugh when i saw Escherichia Coli in chlo's Lab Report. (reminded me of the E.coli joke the suona pple pulled on Jun Xian.. that E.coli is a kind of Broccoli!!! wahaha)

yeap.anyway, with some luck i brought, chlo's lecture ended early! (teehee)
ONE HOUR early!
so we went walking around, admiring the arty dustbins done up by the design students and was appalled to see a GEP frm dunman appearing there. (i forgot her name)
yeah, anyway, we headed for TM, shopped around to check out new bags for chlo, and went CS to buy tickets, den headed for early dinner at pizza hut.
CURRY ZAZZLE BAKED RICE (((:
den we headed back to CS for movie --- STEP UP!
AHHH! it's an awfully nice show. zestful, dynamic routines that makes you wanna dance like them. funky music that makes you groove to the beat.
a should-watch, if not a must-watch.
and i think those who likes it should watch Bring It On 2!!!

a photo to end this post:

Chloe and Carmen (:

it started with a kiss

okay. please pardon me. because this post would be dedicated to "it started with a kiss" (((:
awww. just finished watching this "SPECIAL EPISODE" of "It started with a kiss"..
what a nice show!!!had wanted to watch it all along and was so envious doris actually had the time to watch it!!!and TADA!i finally got the time and chance to watch it! (:
uber nice. totallaye love it.
-melts-
please enjoy the special episode if u all want. teehee.
my cheeks cramped from laughter. =P

STARRING: Lin Yi Chen & Zheng Yuan Chang! *melts further*

none

yadda yadda
again, something to say goodbye to...
GOODBYE DARK-BROWNISH-HAIR!!!
HELLO A-LITTLE-MORE-BROWNISH-HAIR!!!
yeeeup!
THAT is the amount of transformation my hair undergone today.
well, i feel rather stupid though, (staring up at) the fact that my hair colour only changed this much.
should have bought a lighter dye rahhh.
cuz my hair's originally dark brown!!! -moans- *proud of my natural hair colour at the same time*

anyways, after comin across a friends' post, i certainly agree that as we grow up, we are forced to be equipped with PR skills. and yeah, definitely POLITICS if put blatantly.
i totally agree and feels exactly the same way.
but well, i'm pressing for time here, so i dont think i should go on blabbering about what i feel. who cares a shit for my feelings anyway... anyhow.
nevertheless, i want to say that I LOVE YOU NEO POOTS!
and i definitely hope i'm not someone whom u'd have to use ur politics with! ((:
i'll always be there for you! -beams-

till later then! cuz i desperately needs to pack for Genting!!!
Bye Singapore, Hello Genting!!! (((:
(ha. here i am, trying to act all psyched and excited about Genting.. just to show that my holidays arent that boring afterall. and does not consists of shopping + watching shows only. HA. talk about PR. )

P.S. "it started with a kiss" is nice!!! -melts-

goodbye not-so-straight-hair, hello curls!

alright alright.
i think i'd better stop playing neopets for once.
shouldn't forsake blogging time for neopets no more! =P

well, first and foremost...
EXHILARATION!
for PW has ended!
i fared pretty well i guess (:
and no more rubbishy team mates and all.
I DONT HAVE TO ENDURE WITH THEIR RUBBISH ANYMORE! -beams-
and i'm thankful i dont have to continue living under a facade in front of them no more.
honestly speaking, i had a tough time living under false pretences and sick of feeling like an ultimate big fat hypocrite.

1. I HATE IT; everytime they say they want to come to my house ever since the time we did WR together.
2. I DISLIKE MY TEAM MATES AS:
a) they expect people to remember everything! e.g. a meeting set A MONTH ago. they planned to come my house a few weeks before and i dont remember it. they only messaged me past midnight to confirm with me. imagine if u had plans, how annoying is that?!
b) they came my house at 9, we did outlines for WR, and one left at 12, one left at 1, the other two, one slept on my bed, one watched KSS. me?slogging away typing furiously at the computer.
c) i was out, they called. "carmen ah.. u know today got OP rehearsal right...? you coming?" "HUH?! OP REHEARSAL?! nobody told me there's OP rehearsal today!" "mei hui, (PW rep aka my TEAM MATE) u never msg carmen ah? (pause) oh.ok. erm.. so, you can come?" "no? i'm outside?!" another takes over, "you near your house? anyone at your house? oh, nevermind." (line went dead)
3. my group LOOKS harmonious alright but there's silent unhappiness within everyone towards everyone.

i just cant stand the fact that no one dares voice out opinion.
it's as though there's an invisible boundary surrounding all of us.
tender. fragile.delicate.
and once broken, we might all just explode.
yeah. it's one of those group where you'd feel awkward to voice out opinions for fear of something might happen.
and even if we do, we do it politely.
it's very uncomfortable.
not like "wa lao. that colour is super ugly la. choose another one."
we say things like, "why not choose another colour? i dont think this is suitable."
-rollseyes-
and i cant stand times where i feel like i'm being pushed-over but i cant do anything but haplessly succumb to them.
ARGH.

whateverrr
enough of bitching about PW.
i'm just glad beyond glad that EVERYTHING is over.


anyway, after my OP, went to the salon and VOILA!

goodbye straight hair! (photo taken in May)

hello curls!!!

coincidentally i wore the same top! teehee.

although i'd desperately hoped that my hair would grow longer before i went for perming, like harry potter when he had a hideous hair cut. but nope, i'm definitely not a witch. NAH.

went shopping with mama~

cute, aint we? my mum was contemplating to act cool or to smile and she ended up half cool half smile. HA.

and today!
went Hougang Mall with doris! (:
who practically couldn't recognise me due to my new hairdo.
we shopped around and around.
bought my shampoo, conditioner, soap, blah blah toileteries at watson and lugged them to the Cheng San library.
read "Orlando Bloom Ruined Everything" and had a good time vibrating with laughter in the library and gasping for breath, desperately trying to laugh and talk quietly.

went home and changed and immediately left with mum to eat at a restaurant called "Pu Tien".
it serves rather good food that you'll never get sick of eating (:
yummy yum yum
but was surrounded by all her friends i.e. tai chi kakis cum karaoke kakis cum mahjong kakis.
her friend's grand daughter is really really really cute!!!
she's not shy and is very friendly, unlike other little kids who shun at strangers and hides behind their mummies.

so cute and sweet and only seven! -cringe-
i'm TEN YEARS older than her!!! (:
as usual, me, being so "you ren yuan", practically "da xiao tong chi"
the ah mas and aunties loved me and little kiddo like her loves me.
she even said before she left "ni miss wo de shi hou ni kan zhe ge lor"
i.e. "when u miss me, u can look at the photo"
-exclaims- SO SWEET!!! SO CUTE!!!
i want a daughter somewhat like her!!!

please ignore me. i look hideous in the photo. one-eyed-monster
but the focus is her! benice! or bernice! (no idea)
she even sang Lao Shu Ai Da Mi to entertain us!
SO ADORABLE RIGHT???
ah. i'm missing her already...

-miss popular- *beams*

interruption.

i was so overwhelmed with feelings just now but the interruption just, oh well, interrupted my train of thoughts and my flow of emotions..

funny though.curiosity kills the cat.
while some might be nonplussed bout my entry few entries back, some are simply nonchalant about it.

whateverrr.

i just cant write anymore now that i've been interrupted, just at that very moment; i was about to lay my fingers upon my keyboard and go wild typing furiously.

blah blah blah blah blah.

i dont know what to type anymore.i guess i'm just raving.

Technorati

apalled i am, to find that i actually rank 777,647 amongst 55million bloggers at technorati!

i dont know how they count the rank or anything.. LOL.
others include:
dhscogy with ranking 175,029
joel's OLD blog with ranking 209,990
wei xiong with ranking 241,544
doris with ranking 373,929
louis ALSO ranking 373,929

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY???

it's not as if nobody linked them... (so apparently it doesn't work by counting links alone???)
-totally puzzled!-
i honestly DO NOT understand how this thing works.
