interesting tuesday!

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO PSYCHED ABOUT GETTING ALLOWANCE BEFORE!!!
first time mummy is actually so PUNCTUAL in giving me my monthly allowance.
>.<
i have been having a dreadful feeling today, after Bugis Cafe with sheri.
how on earth am i gna survive the week!
i have told myself i only have 12bucks left for this entire week until augusts' allowance comes. and i actually just SUCCUMBED to the temptation of FOOD so easily!
today, the Roasted Chicken Set at FC 4 alone cost $4.
and i bought a Iced Chocolate at Bugis Cafe for $4. (cuz i was rly thirsty, and it doesn't makes sense to spend $1.50 for a bottle of mineral water or $2.70 for a fizzy drink when i can get it at lower price at other places. AND IT'S ALWAYS LIKE THAT! the arguement of spending more on something i could get at a cheaper price, versus getting something more expensive but less easily found in daily life. and the latter ALWAYS wins.)
so how am i suppose to survive when in 2 days i spent 10.70 on food already???
hahaha.
thank god i got my allowance today! >.< --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
today, sheri and i the evil pokes had a evil plan...
we shared a present for yan ling (belated birthday pressie) and decided to prank her (again)! so... during lunch time, when everyone went to buy their food, sherilyn secretly "transplanted" the pressie from my bag, to ling's bag.
and when we all got back, sherilyn said she's gg to meet her friend and pass her the present.
and she went, "FCUK. my present is missing!"
everyone went stunned.
and i was like, "are you sure??? did you check properly?? did you take it out and left it somewhere? LT?"
"no... never leh. die. where is it?"
someone, i cant remember who, "is it expensive?" (i almost wanted to hammer that person!)
and i said, "eh, check whether it's in your bags."
and everyone, though obviously thinking "HOW CAN IT BE IN MY BAG WHEN SHERILYN DIDN'T EVEN SHOW IT TO US? I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW THE PRESENT LOOKS LIKE!" still obediently checked their bags.
just for sure.

and when ling took it out frm her bag, obviously shocked, sherilyn went, "WALAO. FCUK. IT'S NOT FUNNY LOR!" and stormed off.
silence. shocked. stunned. is all i can say, from the expressions.
angry of being accused, ling ling started digging into her Ban Mian.
(P.S. i was so scared tear drops would form and fall into her Ban Mian soup! hahaha.)
anyway, i volunteered to go look at sherilyn, and not long later, dy came running after us too. outside FC4, we just burst out laughing.
and we planned our next move... ...

we went back after awhile, and there was an awkward silence;
with ling still poking hard into her bowl of Ban Mian, and everyone else not knowing what to do...
and then, i said to sheri, "so how, do you want to buy something to eat first?" and stared hungrily at my own, untouched food.
she said, "no, i just wait for my friend first."
and then after some moments,
one.. two.. three!
we shouted "HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!"
and gave yanling the present.
but the STUBBORN CANCER GIRL, continued staring stubbornly at her bowl of Ban Mian, poking so hard into the bowl, and refusing to look up at us.
(which was SO ANTI CLIMAX BECAUSE WE EXPECTED HER TO BURST OUT!!!)
so, she was obviously mad at the accusation.
and honestly, i was kinda worried we might have carried it abit far. i mean, i totally didn't expect her to be so furious. (see, sheri??? SHE IS SO UNPREDICTABLE!!!)

UNTIL, i saw her lips twitching!
she is just SO STUBBORN! ohmygod. (kinda like me. when people make me mad sometimes, i just REFUSE to smile although my insides are bursting with laughter and shaking. ESPECIALLY to my dad. you know how daddys are like! make you mad, and then will try to tease you. but i'll just stubbornly refuse to smile although i am really shaking with laughter inside, till an extent that i've probably sustained internal bleeding.)
and after a long war, (our persistence vs ling's perseverance) ling ling burst.

"YOU ALL VERY IRRITATING LA!"
and she burst out, LAUGHING. not CRYING.

this moment, can totally be one of the best kodak moments!
honestly! ( we should have seriously videoed it down!!!)
and it will seriously be THE TOPIC for like, the next 2 weeks? (only, we are having study week next week. but rest assured ling, it will DEFINITELY continue on thursday because we HAVE to tell sandra bout it! =P )

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!
hope you like the present! (:
because I PICKED IT OUT!
the moment i saw it, i was like, IT'S SO LING LING!!
(((((:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SURPRISINGLY, ITAB ended early today! it only lasted for like what, 30mins??
i went to the toilet with sheri, and then back, and then boot my vaio, and Mr. Tan announced that HE FINISHED TEACHING THE LAST CHAPTER OF MS WORD!
oh.my.god.
SHELLSHOCKED was the only word i could think of to describe everyone.
hahaha.
and off we left. (me, sheri, ling & dy. cuz sandra ponned and the rest had to stay to do their idea.)
after printing and handing in the IDEA report, sheri and i left school, at about 315?
and i managed to tempt the poor broke girl (i almost typed bloke! =P) into going shopping with me.
so we did some window shopping at Bugis and Bugis street.
it is so EXHAUSTING.
if i knew that ITAB were to end so early today, i wouldn't have brought my adaptor AND ITAB textbook.
OHMYHOLYMOTHERCOW.
aching neck & shoulder. (can sometimes lead to headaches too. boo.)
and something funny happened on the bus ride home:

i sat at the seat facing the back of the bus, near the aisle.
and after what seemed like, 15mins. this old lady boarded the bus.
being the VERY KIND, NICE, CONSIDERATE, JING LAO ZUN XIAN(and the list goes on!) girl, i gave my seat to the old lady and lugged my heavy pink rusty bag (with adaptor and textbook and blah all inside!) and my vaio in hand and stood at the aisle.
this bendemeer sec girl, who was sitting also at the seat facing the back, but at the other side of the bus, AND DOING CROSS STITCH said loudly to her friends, (who were sitting behind me, facing the bus driver) "SEE LA, PEOPLE SO CONSIDERATE! NOT LIKE YOU ALL LOR!"
and her friends defended themselves, "WHAT LAH! NEVER SEE THE OLD LADY LA!"
(which is kinda impossible unless they are REALLY so blind. why? cuz they're sitting right behind the bus driver, and they're NOT sleeping, so it's almost impossible to miss the people boarding the bus. anyway, that's beside the point.)
the point is, the cross-stitch girl kinda then stood up and walked over to her friends.
then everyone just stared at me, and the seat.
and nobody budge!
nobody went going desperate, "Ohhhhh my god. there's a seat. it's mine. it's mine. I SAID IT'S MINE!!!" written on their face.
HAHAHA.
and it's as though everyone felt that the seat should rightfully "belong" to me.
and then the old lady whom i gave my seat to, urged me to sit down.
and so i did!

then when there were more old people, i thought,
"should i like, give up my seat again?"

"haiya, it's so stupid. standing and sitting, then standing and sitting. just sit down la. your shoulders aching and your bag is so heavy, and you're carrying vaio, and it's still a long way from home!"

"but the old lady nearly fell!"

"den got other people to give their seats what. why must it be you?"

"but isn't it weird that i gave seat to the old lady, but not the old uncle standing right in front of me?"

"uncle ma! supposedly stronger than old aunties. and this one looks so indignant. i think he'll be angry if you give seat to him. he'll think you're insulting him!"

"den the old indian lady beside him who nearly fell leh?"

"she's not exactly old what. all her hair still black. she got Cao Lao face."

'zzzz! zzzz!"

sheri says: "... ... ... ... (some texts in front) sometimes, just remain ignorant"

"see? sherilyn says dont budge. anyway i bet they'll all get down at boon keng. which is soon."

and so, i shut my eyes tight and blasted my mp3.

hahaha. weirdo carmeny!

what an interesting tuesday.

futuristic experience

OHMYGOD.
i took 105 home today, and on the way home, near Gleneagles Hospital, i saw this bride and groom, just the sweet 2 of them in THIS CAR:(with the convertible top closed though, boohoo.)
!!!!!!!!!!
OHMYGOODNESS.
so jealous so jealous so jealous!
i wanna marry in a classic car too!
teeheehee.

i dont know why.
but recently, i've been thinking alot about the future. like near future (which involves how i would look like baby-sitting future-niece/nephew)
and like far future, where instead of NUS/SMU, i think i might consider an overseas university? (but i dont think we can afford it? it was tough enough, sending Alvin gor to Australia, Melbourne, Queensland Uni)
but i really wish to attend both local uni AND a oversease uni so i can experience the college life in local uni and overseas uni. maybe i could sign up for exchange programme? lol.

and i keep thinking so much until i get so engrossed!

the "carmeny-time" was also spent, daydreaming of carmeny traveling to France, England, Japan, Australia, Africa, Egypt... ... ... ...
i really really really wish that someday, I would be able to travel around the world!
and after all the bubbles burst, and reality dawns, i know i would need ALOT ALOT ALOT of money to travel around the world, and even LIVE there. (my greatest wish would be to TRAVEL AND LIVE around the world. hahaha. what's the point of traveling all the way there and not immerse yourself for awhile in their culture and lifestyle?)
and then i'll start thinking where to get the money...
and picture myself as a successful business woman with a very successful AND lucrative career.
HAHAHA.
and it goes on and on with the daydreaming.

weird me.
ALRIGHT! enough daydreaming already, successful businesswoman!
it's time to get started with your MOB revision (fri test) and your ITAB assignment if you want to becoms a successful businesswoman!!!
move it move it!

P.S. CONGRATULATIONS to miss clairey neo poots for FINALLY revealing that (quote claire) "not-so-big secret"! haha. i think i get what you mean! tsk tsk tsk.
is the "not-so-big secret" the one i think it is?
i WISH i could do it too! the relieve after it must be the stimuli to your TREMENDOUSLY ENORMOUS APPETITE that night! hahaha!
and hmph! of course it's your fault! you're the one who "introduced" it to me, you naughty naughty! pfffft.

mad ponster-monster

aye aye.
it's kinda slow, but still...
HURRAY!
THE DAMN IDEA(Innovation Design & Enterprise in Action) MODULE IS OVER! (at least for me!)
now now, i cant wait for this coming thursday to shoot at those bastards and bitches from DBA 07. as xuan xuan said, 07 08, NO FRIENDS!
i couldn't believe what sandra told me until i really witness it with my own eyes.
people are really willing to stoop so low for the sake of the mere participation marks.
come on people, how much is it worth?
if you were to put in more effort in your work, would you still need to bother about the meagre participation marks?
when i shoot a question, it is just out of curiosity of how their product works.
I WAS NOT ASKING FOR THE SAKE OF ASKING.
like those bastards. shooting moronic questions. -ROLLS EYES-
JUST YOU WAIT.

Good Luck Xuan Xuan, Ya Ya and Drey! (:(:(:
WO MEN TING NI! hahaha.

ANYWAY. i really do hope i get an A for IDEA. since i already did for CA1 which is worth 30%.
really really cant help wondering how we fared for CA2 (30%) and CA3 (40%).
yadda yadda yadda.
the anticipation is killing me.
worst thing is we are only knowing our Semestral Results during September!!!
oh gosh.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yesterday, the (quote sandra) PON-TEN-KIA, aka yours truly here, ponned school (again).
LOL.
this week i am seriously a ponster-monster. LOL!
when i reached dover with monk, (ha. i bet ling ling must be fuming mad. lucky she wasn't here when monk and i were there. or she would be "WHY IS HE OUT AGAIN?!?! grrrr. UNFAIR!!!!!") only sheri was there! along came drey and xuan awhile later.
idy, yaya, sandra & ling ling were all missing.
lala. and monk if going to book in on sunday night.
so miss carmeny here decided to pon sch to get together with monk!
haha. went to get MC first (because i dont want to be marked "absent") and den decided to watch "Knocked Up" because "La Vie En Rose" has no suitable time slots at Cathay. booo!
"Knocked up" seriously SUCKS. half the time i wish to get out of the cinema or like just sleep through because it is just so boring and the storyline SUCKS. den i think of the money spent on the tickets and i have second thoughts... ARGH.
BAH HUMBUG!
WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER WATCHED. (and i rarely rate movies this bad because i love watching movies..)
dont ask me for stars, it's not even worth any rating at all.
boo.

shopping shopping shopping shopping after that but didn't buy anything the whole day but a cutesy little victorian pouch.
haha. seriously have to stop shopping already.
it's been a mad month.
FOUR dresses bought in a month. and TWO tops. (one is for the formal for idea la, cant blame me! tsk tsk)
madness.
all thanks to claire neo poots i'm so addicted to dresses too. HAHAHA.

aye. I NEED TO LOOK FOR A JOB SOON, judging from the rate i'm spending all the money. >.<

all time low

today's been an all time low for me.
and throwing tantrums at boy didn't work at all, but only made me feel worse.
like i am so undeserving of him because i am such an unreasonable girlfriend.
i'm sorry ):

the headache, on top of every other emotion i am feeling kind of tripled the negative effects.
and the thought that idea project is nowhere near done, and the presentation is TOMORROW is doubling the headache.

i dont believe it.
from the most promising team to the most ill-prepared team.
i wonder what have become of us.
we had a good headstart.
but somehow, somewhere along the process, we lost our way.
everything was done half-heartedly, i'd say.
things that were needed to be done were ambiguous.
i'd be happy enough to scrape past tomorrow's presentation.
we're so seriously ill-prepared..
and i honestly feel, we need a white flag.
we need more time.
but it ain't possible.
so we just gotta clench our teeth and bear with it and scrape it through.

panadol time.

congrats, my boy!

Congratulations to my boy!
you got your driving license! (:
vroom vroom!
and it's your first test!

now now,
all you need is either a SLK:

or some Retro Retro cars:
like a Cadillac?

Beetle?
Ford Thunderbird?

Karmann Cabriolet?

yadda yadda! there's just SO many cars i want to try on! especially the vintage, retro and classic ones like all these!
haha.
you get the hint! =P

CONGRATULATIONS!

lacking of updates!

mundane mundane.
boring boring.
busy busy, dizzy.
haha. this is how i spent my days recently since my last update???

shall just give a brief brief update. (since after the concert on 13th July.)
Sat, 14th July:
i went shopping at bugis after a stupid treatment at London Weight Management. (which is some crappy treatment that i won from some stupid contest.)
i lost 300g. WOW.
and then what? i drank back 500ml of some disgusting drink.
which means, i didn't lose but gained 200g more! haha. get the joke?

Sun, 15th July:
went to catch Fantastic 4 (II) with monk. and then Harry Potter.
(i know i know i am SO SO SO SLOW. i practically caught the last screening of F4(II). and monk's DVD for F4 (I) has been left UNTOUCHED for almost 2 wks?

Mon, 16th July:
PACC test. omhmc. dont wna mention it. everyone's balance sheet didn't balance, whereas mine did because i worked backwards.
like, is it a good thing or a bad thing? i seriously DON'T KNOW. because balance sheet, (as its name suggests) IS SUPPOSED TO BALANCE!
but i'm like, one in the million that balanced it simply because i worked backwards. zzz.

Wed, 18th July:
WENT TO REFORMAT MY VAIO AT J8!
was supposed to go out with mummy but because something cropped up so we didn't go in the end and so i went to reformat my vaio cuz i really cannot stand it.
MISSING SOUND CARD AND GRAPHIC CARD AND BLAH!
omg.
and now i've found a way to get into SPwireless without the configuration.
i spent like, 3hours reformatting? (i left Vaio deary with the SONY pple and went shopping la! tsk tsk.)
and after 3 gruelling hours (gruelling because j8 has got NOTHING to shop for THREE HOURS! and i spent the last hour rotting in SONY Gallery reading SEVENTEEN and having polite conversations with the staffs there who were very curious about me. -.- )
den went to meet xiuyi bff for Harry Potter! (:(:(:(:(:
missed my bff like crazy. i just wished we were still living so so so close to each other and i can meet up with her more often! ):

Sat, 21 July:
HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS IS OUT!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JOEL! (oops. i know i know. i nv msg you larh. hahaha.but i remembered! tsk tsk. and your last yr's bday present still with me!)
HAPPY 1YEAR1Month (13th month) ANNIVERSARY!
the day was spent shopping at orchard with mummy(12pm-4pm) for her dress for an upcoming dinner.
she bought a dress from daniel yam.
and after that, was supposed to find formal wear for IDEA presentation on Thurs.
I DONT FEEL LIKE TALKING ABOUT THE REST OF IT BECAUSE I CAN GO ON BLABBING FOREVER.
just one thing: exasperation is an understatement!
mummy really really drives me nuts. i wished i have a mum like clairey neo poots. ):

and this event led to a continued shopping trip on sunday (1pm-4pm)
and then the rest of the relaxed sunday was spent chiong-ing econs and IDEA report. ):
and missing my monk because we haven met up for the entire weekend!

Mon, 23 July:
woke up having a splitting headache and was very giddy.
didn't feel lyk gg to school.
took an MC and wanted to rest at home and study.
then monk said he wanted to come and visit me.
so we discussed, and then i decided to crawl out of bed and go meet him in town.
went for a last desperate attempt to find my zara black pants, but, sigh. fruitless attempts.
THANKS TO MUMMY! (ok ok. stop thinking about it. and stop obsessing bout the black pants. like what dear said, I WILL FIND SOMETHING BETTER IN THE FUTURE. YES. I WILL! AND I MUST! and econs also agreed with me. because (zara)clothes=luxury=elastic demand=given long time more substitutes will be available and consumers will be more willing to adjust. YES. i kpt telling that to myself. HAHAHA.)
yup. den we went to search for some formal wear at ViVo and Marina Square. and then i went to study at HK Cafe before heading to school for Econs test.

econs was... i don't know. all the tests give me such an ambiguous feeling. i just don't know how i'd fare for them.
alrights. that's all.

recent to-do lists includes:
`PACK MY BLOODY ROOM
`READ HARRY POTTER (now on book 2, still a long time before i get to Deathly Hallows, but WHO CARES this is my habit. i re-read all books whenever a new one comes out.)
`REVISION REVISION REVISION. i need to catch up! (hahaha)
and many many more things which i am not in the right state of mind to think now because:
#1 i am too tired
#2 i am very busy. i am supposed to continue doing my IDEA stuffs.
#3 i am feeling incoherent and random.
HAHAHAHA.

P.S. i think people who go around announcing the ending of the Deathly Hallows are just so freaking INCONSIDERATE!
(esp. yan ling's friend who went to write it in his MSN nick!!! i assume it's a HE because only guys are like that! HA!) and i dont dare to read xiaxue's latest entry after i saw her blog title because i DONT KNOW if she blogged the ending or NOT.
BOO! to people who go around blabbing the ending.
now i'm so afraid of signing into MSN too because i remembered last yr, when half-blood prince was out, stupid guys in my contacts also hinted the ending. BOO!
if i wanted to know the ending, i would go google it online or READ THE BOOK MYSELF, MERCI BEAUCOUP! pfuit!
(i thought throwing in some french would make me sound more classy. LOL. see what i mean? i'm incoherent. )

P.P.S. i really need to STOP the obsession of praying that future-nephew/niece is a girl! because now everywhere i go, i would go GAGA over baby clothings and secretly pray that Big Bro's baby is a baby girl, so that i can doll her up and play with her! (i sound as though she is some toy. barbie maybe?) and part of it is all mummy's fault because she said that when the baby is born, (baby is due in January) it will most likely be baby-sitted by her, instead of Serene jie's (my future-sister-in-law. i say future because they haven't ROM-ed) parents. OMG. there is just this constant ecstasy in me. and i kp imagining what it would be like next yr, baby sittting the baby! HAHAHA.
seriously, monk is getting so annoyed because i really went GAGA EVERYWHERE I GO over baby clothes, squealing: "ooh! this is so cute! i feel like buying this for baby! haiya. but i dunno if it's baby girl or baby boy. what if it's baby boy?"

and then negative images of baby boy peeing into my face when i change his diapers floats into my mind and i puncture it angrily out of my mind, and starts picturing me wheeling baby girl around in a pram while shopping. and then people start pointing: "wah . so young den mother liao!" and den i will laugh secretly at myself, for all these crazy thoughts and then continue shopping for MYSELF, while monk just thinks that i'm completely deranged.

okay. i'm getting more and more crazy.
IDEA TIME! (but first, i need the reports before i can do the ppt! hello people? i'm still waiting online!!!)

[edit] i need to diet diet diet DIET!!! [/edit]

stupid people.

there's just SO MUCH gunpowder in the blogosphere recently.
zzzzz.
anyway, EW. i'm posting this (EXTREMELY reluctantly, because Steven Lim is one of the MOST disgusting guy i have ever known or heard of, i never ever want him to be on my blog, haha.) because his retaliation is so moronic and so childish. (not that i'm rooting for xiaxue, for that matter. although i have to agree that post of hers was VERY entertaining to our mundane lives, hahahahaha.)
it just reminds me of Tan Ting Hui having a tiff with our itab teacher, Mr. Tan Yeow Huat.

*LAUGHS OUT SUPER LOUDLY AND UNGRAMLY*

it seems to me as though they're retaliating for the sake of retaliating.
for not wanting to be mocked at as a coward, a chicken.
-rollseyes-

it just makes you look moronic. wait. make it MORE MORONIC.

i suddenly have this feeling that steven lim might visit my blog! haha. because there's just this high a possibility that he'd google his name and find my blog somehow, someway, because he is THAT narcissistic. boos.

STOP making my heart throb.

2nd July, Monday
meet up with clairey!
stupid neo poots was late because (according to her) her shoe gave her blisters so she went home to change!
ho-hums.
we met up at wheelock's borders den headed for a sumptuous dinner at NYDC! (:(:(:
who says new things are the good? old flavours are yummy-licious too! just like old friendship. :D

after making our tummy grow 2inches wider in diameter, we headed for Bakerzin at Paragon for dessert!
to our utmost horrors, there was this UBER RIDICULOUSLY RUDE MAN (1.8m tall, around 30) who "tut" us when we were crossing the pathway over to Big O's, opposite NYDC to take a look at their cakes.
ROAR.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, I DONT KNOW. AND WE DONT CARE!
so what if we cut your path? we already shunned to the side, and you can jolly well still carry on waddling because WE ARE NOT SO FAT TO THE EXTENT THAT WE BLOCKED UP THE ENTIRE PATHWAY (even though we did grew a teeny weeny bit fatter after indulging sucha delicious meal.. ..)!
HELLO, the pathway there is bigger than a "five-foot-way" larh!
and while claire and i were still astonished at the fact that he "tut" us, he turned around, a few steps away from us and uttered, in a shamelessly loud manner, "IDIOTS!!" with a look of disgust on his face.
ohmygoodness.
you could have literally see blood boiling.
i had the strongest temptaion to shot-put my vaio right at the back of his stupid head.

CURSE YOU! YOU BIG HEAD IDIOT! (we really cursed him all the way from wheelock to paragon)

forget about that stupid-headed idiot.
Bakerzin at Paragon was heavenly!
and the super long talk with clairey about everything under the sun!
peekture's worth a thousand words:

SUPERBLY HEAVENLY DESSERT!
Clairey neo poots, my love! 5years and going STRONG!
SEE!! the chocolate oozing out immediately. oh. i ABSOLUTELY fell in love with it! (it is currently ranked first in my dessert list, on par with Olio's Brownie)
this one's a tad lower in rank. haha. i dont know la!
i only know i love my oldie lovelies.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i REALLY miss dhs. no matter how much fun i have now. a part of me still wants to turn back time... back to dhs. back to where i belong. back to dhsco. back to the days nigus hang out everyday.
enough of nostalgia!the coolest bestie you can ever ask for. (i think i'm cooler leh?)
HEH. now, this is COOL. (that's supposed to be bestie's face, by the way!)OMG. haha. this is like SUPER FUNNY.now, this looks a HUNDRED TIMES more normal. bliss.

OMG! tong tong you evil! you trapped us all in the photo!!! haha. it's kinda scary when u watch the film develops from blank to this(above). like, what if something "extra" appears??? but i still want a polaroid cam!! dang. so jealous of tongtong!EXCLAIMS, "I WANT A POLAROID CAM TOO!!!"tong looks so cutesy!

more photos will be uploaded when i've got them from tong tong! (:

Statistics - 88%
MOB - 96% (top in class! teeheehee.)

boohoohoos.

i dont even know HOW IT GOT LOST. or WHERE IT GOT LOST.
we(monk & i) went searching EVERYWHERE. all the places i have been to during and after the MOB activity.. but our attempt was fruitless. ):

P.P.S. so touched that sandra sweets volunteered to go look for it with me the next day, when i told her about it.. haha. and ling ling too! who TOTALLY understands the devastation. love my girlies!

P.P.P.S. i was even supposed to tuition yaya's "xiang gong" today! but he had to work on last min notice, so after settling ITAB in school, ling ling, sandra, yaya, sheri & i went town-ing! tsk tsk. went far east and the greedy 5 little piggies went pigging out at Chippy's! ohmyholymothercow.
ultimate sinful. i had battered fries. (edible but i doubt i'll go for 2nd round.) yaya had Fried Mars Bars. sandra had the sausage with mashed potato (super yummy! it's my first time trying) and sheri had the cheesy curry chicken. ooooh my goodness. as she said, it can make you orgasm. WAH LAO. sounds so obscene. cannot come up with something better issit, sheri??
AND speaking of orgasm, yaya thought i was talkin to monk when my mummy called. and she went to make ORGASMIC SOUNDS in the background!!!
HAHAHAHAHA.
horny yaya!


after pigging out, we headed for lucky plaza to look for yaya's "xiang gong". and den yaya & sandra & ling ling left. while sheri & i headed for paragon until monk came to meet me.

YAY. i'm soooo happy. i bought the sundress from Miss Selfridge!

have you ever?

Sometimes it's wrong to walk away, though you think it's over
Knowing there's so much more to say
Suddenly the moment's gone
And all your dreams are upside down
And you just wanna change the way the world goes round

Tell me, have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry
Can't you see, that's the way I feel about you and me, Baby
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking
Lookin down the road you should be taking
I should know, cos I loved and lost the day I let you go

Can't help but think that this is wrong, we should be together
Back in your arms where I belong
Now I've finally realised it was forever that I've found
I'd give it all to change the way the world goes round

Tell me, have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry
Can't you see, that's the way I feel about you and me, Baby
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking
Lookin down the road you should be taking
I should know, cos I loved and lost the day I let you go

I really wanna hear you say that you know just how it feels
To have it all and let it slip away, can't you see
Even though the moment's gone, I'm still holding on somehow
Wishing I could change the way the world goes round

Tell me, have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
Can't you see, (ohhh) that's the way I feel about you and me, Baby
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking
Lookin down the road you should be taking
I should know, (I should know) cos I loved and lost the day I let
Yes I loved and lost the day I let
Yes I loved and lost the day I let you go

Taiwan Trip!!

the LOOOONG AWAITED Taiwan, Taipei Journal! (:(:(:

Oooh. I absolutely LURVE window seats! :D

Tata for now, my beloved homeland! SINGAPORE!! so prettaye!

*heart fluttering* so excited!! (:
as i was staring and staring and staring out of the window, the serenity of natures' beauty struck me hard. everytime we think of the beauty of nature, the scene of a forest full of greenery and life and little cutesy animals lyk squirrels or wild and ferocious tigers and lions would hit us. but, think again. nature's more than just tall canopies and undergowth. (:
now, i'll think of the clouds the winds the sky and the seas. heehee.

this is the bus ticket for a bus ride from the Taipei Tao Yuan airport to the Taipei train station!

i thought this was rather interesting. it's behind every door of each cubicle in the toilet of the train station! tsk tsk!my first meal in Taiwan! it's "Za Jiang Mian" means assorted sauce noodles if loosely translated. haha.and Lipton milk tea endorsed by Wang Lee Hom!!! -melts-
after which was a good shower in the hotel and some nice interesting variety shows before turning in for the night.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
heading for some busy streets near our hotel.. looking for breakfast! tsk tsk. we found a place with superbly nice beehoon soup to eat. and then continued walkin aimlessly, sightseeing..

haha. we found a wet market to spend our time! it's very interesting because in turns out that Taiwanese and VERY fond of intestines and pigs. i saw a real PIG HEAD first time in my life. quite gross actually. and there's live chickens croaking at the top of their lungs because before them are the hairless & cooked version of their fellow chickens lying in front of them, waiting to be bought..

EXTREMELY YUMMYLICIOUS FRIED RICE!!! hmmmm. i wish i could have it now.. even my parents loved it.

after market trip and resting at the hotel for awhile, we asked for directions to "Wu Fen Pu" which is recommended by the hotel people to go shopping for super cheap clothes. this is the train station we went.. haha. spot my daddy and mummy!!!
train ticket.the train entering the station..TADA!!! "Wu Fen Pu"!!! i was SOOOO psyched.
but!! the shops here mainly do wholesale and a bit of retail.. (which, is supposed to be good because then the retail price would be close to the wholesale price!) but they dont have dressing rooms here and no trying allowed!!! -sobs-
i only bought a dress-top that i saw at a boutique in Parco Bugis.. which cost 39SGD there, but only about 9NTD in Taiwan!!! -horrors-
i dont know if there's a difference in material, but the design is EXACT! too bad it doesn't have BLACK! the original one that i tried in Bugis, so i bought the white instead. ):
haha. just trying to show you all the MRT..at night, it was Shi Lin night market! (: this part actually sells food, with tables and chairs to sit down and enjoy. haha. many many different stalls made us so spoilt for choice.

and they have games stalls too! like our "Pasar Malam". heehee.daddy and i chose to eat this while mummy's elsewhere having something more "oriental"...we shared this Chicken Chop on hotplate, which has pasta underneath is and an egg! the dish comes with a drink, a (corn)soup and bread! all these only costs about SGD$6.70!! yum. so worthwhile (:den we headed to the other part of Shi Lin night market which is about a street away.. and we walked and gaped at all the interesting things. hahaha. this places is something like Far East's level one... with lots of shops that are very unique and with interesting themes.. and here's where i saw a heart throb male sales guy in one of the shops!!! *difficulty breathing* haha. and i feel so embarrassed to try on clothes there. LOL. ahhhh! -faints- i think yaya the man-eater would pounce onto him. AHAHAHAHA!
awww. SO ADORABLE!!!some pet shop there... with loads of cute puppies displayed! how i wish i could cuddle you home! ))))):haha. after "Bai Se Ju Ta", here's the sequel, "Huang Se Ju Ta"!!!it's actually potato(i forgot if it's skinned or not) sliced CONTINUOUSLY in spirals and then stretched on a long satay stick and then deep fried. costs about SGD$1.90 per stick.
and there's different flavours to choose from. i chose cheese (of course!!!) and the vendor just used a shaker to sprinkle (GENEROUSLY) the cheese on it. yummy yummy! and super crispy!the real shopping begins...
it's actually very similar to Bugis Village, except with wider street and many illegal vendors (above picture) in the middle of the street.CRAMMED!i'm eating Muah Chee with chocolate ice cream fillings!The "Teh Gus" came and away all the vendors go! haha. it's really apalling to see the methods and places they resort to, to hide and camouflage..this is a single-trip ticket for the Mrt rides..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daddy eating the "Oh-Ah Mee Sua"


at the "Zhong Zheng Ji Nian Tang"......
Daddy and Mummy Mummy and Me (:Daddy and me!carmeny love :DDaddy and MummyAttention!! Salute!the place was humongous!! haha.. love-*

Ximending!Ximending!!!Daddy and Mummy in the middle of Ximending!
(haha. daddy keeps grumbling carrying my bad. not because of the weight but the colour.)SPOT ME! hahaha.crepe!!! (i miss D'crepe that used to be in Bugis!!! sobs.)dinner at the roadside stalls. haha. it's a funny scene. imagine: roadside stalls at the ground floor of some building. (and look! behind is actually a dishwasher! the lady in pink washes ALL the dishes for the roadside stalls.) it was simply heavenly. very family-ish dishes, but superbly yummy.
haha. i deliberately took this photo. look! everyone's queueing up orderly and patiently. no one's pushing. or rudely "jumping queue" to get to the front of the MRT's door and obstructing way. hmmm. sounds familiar?
(i forgot to take a picture when taking the escalator, unlike us, taiwanese keep to their right. but still!! it's an amazing sight because no matter how crowded it is, everyone keeps to their right. those who are on their left are constantly MOVING. not just standing there and obstructing the way. SINGAPOREANS BETTER BUCK UP!!)
and i realise that Singaporeans' pace are REALLY REALLY VERY FAST. ):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jolin Tsai's activity in Ximending!

the security was very fierce. Quote, "ladies and gentleman in the first row especially, if the crowd behind pushes and squeezes front, please LEAN BACK (or lie back)!!! OK? Because if the first row exceeds the designated limit, WE WOULD RETALIATE, which might hurt you." blahblahblah. i was kinda shocked. haha. and scared because i was in the front! haha. but nothing of the sort happened, although there was alot of pushing and i lost my camera pouch! ):(the one in hot pink is Jolin)(it's actually a boxing outfit. and this activity at Ximending was supposed to be held awhile ago, but it was cancelled due to bad weather i think, if i didn't remember wrongly. and the night before the activity, Jolin actually won the "Jing Qu Jiang's most popular female singer" I THINK. haha.MORE SHOPPING at Ximending at night.(:(:(: shop shop shop.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lunch at a nearby eatery near our hotel with daddyYUM! it doesn't look like much but VERY YUMMY!

popular clothes in Taiwan:
tops with prints/"photographs" printed on themvery sweet and nice prints and the like. super revealing clothes. haha. almost everywhere has clothes that can be worn for clubbing and SUPER MINI shorts. and it's also a trend to wear a striking bikini inside and REVEAL it with some skimpy top. hahaha.
(all these above are mainly trends in the shops i've seen. most taiwanese girls still dress very alike with Singapore girls, except there's a greater variety of style.. and taiwanese girls are TALL! average is AT THE VERY LEAST 165. mostly about 168 i think...)

some other popular style..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CARAMEL APPLES!!! (this was actually one of the dishes served at "Big Brother's Return" (Zong Yi Da Ge Da) starring Zhang Fei. super yummylicious looking plus it's rather healthy cuz masked under the thick caramel and rainbow rice and oreo cookie is a green apple!
check out other flavours here!

the famous mee-sua in taiwan. a couple even asked me for directions to this place the other day and i've absolutely no idea where. haha. and daddy told me it's a very famous must-have in taiwan. LOL. and we accidentally bump into the stall on the last day! tsk tsk.
(P.S. haha. many people say i dont sound foreign! i could happily mingle in and pretend i'm a taiwanese student. LOL. cuz they say my Mandarin is very good and dont sound "wrong"! the salesgirls tell me that many Singaporean speaks weird Singapore-Mandarin with weird accent. haha.)Daddy eating mee-sua. he said he was trying to mimick those artistes on "Big Brother's Return" who makes super exaggerating expressions to show the audience that the food they eat is really delicious. (-.-) kuakua! spastic. (i mean the artistes! not my daddy! my daddy's cute k!)daddy and mummy arguing whether it's pig's intestines of chicken's intestines inside. hahaha.
everyone eating... standing and squatting outside..

my macho daddy. tsk tsk.

the famouse "Far East Departmental Store" which is something like OG, Isetan Scotts or BHG.. most of the shops in Taiwan/Taipei are found at the roadside.. the products sold in these kinda departmental store are SUPER expensive. hahaha.
mummy's lunch. which is dumplings and "guo tie". yummm.
daddy and daddy's girl's lunch: $198 "Chi Dao Bao" steamboat. i was too busy eating. didn't take photos. but it's really worth it. hahaha. free-flow of EVERYTHING! no +++ !! (except service charge)
beautiful weather, beautiful scenery.. which made be cant bear to part taiwan... ))))):

haha. kiddy me! (at the airport)BYE BYE TAIWAN!!! *sobs*
pretty pretty fluffy clouds! SO FLUFFY they made me wanna plop onto them and roll inside!!!
fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy!
sunset-which marks the sunset of the wonderous time i've had in taiwan too..

overall, it was a fun trip with quite a fruitful catch. haha. and people there are very outspoken and outgoing, and pretty loud sometimes. they are simple, but not so "classy" like Singapore. (even salesgirls at the airport goes "lai ah, lai kan yi kan" that sort. but they're very polite and humble with sincere "Huan Ying Guang Ling" unlike the service attitudes in Singapore, which is deteriorating everyday. the people there may not be as educated and as well-groomed, but they are more polite and kind. and Singaporeans? i think there's alot of room to improve.

with the increasing importance of education and the increasing number of educated people in Singapore, every one thinks that they are SMART, they are CIVILIZED, they are ALWAYS RIGHT, they are BETTER THAN OTHERS. but, think again, are they true? ARE YOU? people are always going "i have my own rights" here in Singapore. and that's why i think that people in Singapore are getting more and more inconsiderate, self-centered, selfish and merit-concerned. in everything they do, there must be something that benefits them, else they would not do it.
which is beginning to irk me.
