so deck those halls and trim those trees



"Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong
'Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy

To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from

Last year, ski shop,
Encounter, most interesting.
Had his number but never the time
Most of '81 passed along those lines.

So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,
I just need to catch my breath,
Christmas by myself this year.

Calendar picture, frozen landscape,
Chilled this room for twenty-four days,
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with!

Flashback to springtime, saw him again,
Would've been good to go for lunch,
Couldn't agree when we were both free,
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch.

Didn't, of course, 'til summertime,
Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
No, this time it was me,
Sunburn in the third degree.

Now the calendar's just one page
And, of course, I am excited
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Hardly dashing through the snow
Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-do's
A few cards a few calls
'Cause it's r-s-v-p
No thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites.

Last fall I had a night to myself,
Same guy called, halloween party,
Waited all night for him to show,
This time his car wouldn't go,

Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late,
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind
Doing Christmas right this time.

A&P has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?

So on with the boots, back out in the snow
To the only all-night grocery,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year!

"I'm spending this one alone," he said.
"Need a break; this year's been crazy."
I said, "Me too, but why are you?
You mean you forgot cranberries too?"

Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy ending! "

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!

that fire you ignited, good bad undecided

what have i been up to?

since Twilight, i've been busy with setting up lovedaime.livejournal.com to sell pre-loved items owned by me & the 08 girls.
For three days!
you can't imagine the work behind it until you do it.
it's scary. photoshopping till shunya & i nearly died.
last saturday was spent swimming with kynan and my parents and looking for jobs desperately and falling asleep from exhaustion. steamboat dinner at my rich cousin's place. (:
wah super good man loved the soup.

sunday was dinner with nigus!
it is indeed, a day to commemorate because i think, it's the FIRST TIME since graduation from DHS, that all 6 of us are gathered together.
MIRACLE.
every time it is either 4 or 5 and never 6!
this is seriously a MIRACLE.
I LOVE YOU GIRLS NO MATTER WHAT!
6 grey dots forever!

tuesday i had project meeting at city hall.
(threadless) online shopping with clinton & alex.
physical shopping at raffles city with alex & kellin.
went shunya's place to collect threadless tees.
chit-chat at void-deck for like 1hr (cuz her sis's on sick leave).

wednesday was desperate housewives day.

thursday! highlight of the week (:
supposed to have con b meeting at 1230pm but i gave it a miss because it is BFF day!
(and it is very impt to dedicate this day to BFF because she is damn busy and no other days free and we haven met up in months, yup, so there.)
but BFF received notice saying she got accepted to UNSW(med) the night before, so she had to meet her mum at 2pm to book air tickets.

CONGRATULATIONS BFF!
I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOUR DREAM COME TRUE!
LOVE YOU TO BITS AND PIECES!

and it was alright because i have an interview scheduled at 1030am so i could waste some time away shopping while waiting for her.
which reminded me of darryl's sms asking me if i'm free to accompany clinton for shopping because he had to ps clinton due to some reasons and clinton's quite pissed off about it.
so lucky darryl!
i met up with clinton after my interview and his con b meeting. (note: we are NOT in the same con b grp.)
i was supposed to meet him at starbucks.
i thought his grp has left but boy, i was wrong.
and he had to be all secretive about meeting me, telling them he's meeting his friend instead of, "oh i'm meeting carmen later".
so we're like DOOMED can u see.

those who dont know the story would be:
carmen missed con b meeting to go meet clinton.
clinton was all secretive about meeting carmen but we saw them together.
-.-

and i wanted this threadless tee but clinton has already ordered it. (i ordered for him)
if i order too then it'll become like couple tee? (i ordered 2 other tees that i like more than this one first because of budget constraints)

SIGH whatever.
清者自清 you know.
melly baby finds this story hilarious. (i am quite awed that she could understand it thru msn despite the complexity of it.)
BFF thinks its funny too but if i order the tee too then it'll be hello mrs. ong.
HAHAHA. ok quite funny ah.
(ongton are you reading this? OMG. it's like as hilarious as the iron for xmas gift.)

anyway so i had a marathon gift buying session with clinton.
raffles city. marina square. suntec.
my legs were screaming after all the shopping.
and i had to meet BFF at PS i seriously considered taking a cab from suntec because i didn't want to walk all the way back to city hall.

Angus Thongs & Perfect Snogging with BFF!

best movie to watch with my BFF because we can swoon over the sexgods together.
and sigh for the poor mr. saliva and dave.

lost my wallet in the cathay movie toilet cubicle we went before the movie (i.e. 5pm)
and only to realize i lost it around 830pm when i have no money to pay for dinner.
haha LUCKILY THANKFULLY GRATEFULLY GOD-BLESSEDLY,
it was found and i collected it from the Cathay manager. (:
thanks BFF!!! for waiting in the smelly shit-odour toilet for people to come out of their cubicles so you can check for me if my wallet's in there.
(: (: (:

friday is busy busy day!
shopping with mummy in the day, xmas card writing in the late afternoon, xmas party with my dad at night.
my dad's manager, Mary, makes the BEST FOOD EVER!
even better than those served in restaurants.
roasted turkey
ham
sausages wrapped with bacon
roasted pork (done from scratch!)
christmas breads
christmas cakes
tomato based spaghetti with vongolé
fried olive rice
chicken pie
oven-baked sweet potato fries
BEST APPLE CRUMBLE TART IN THE WORLD with home-made vanila ice cream (i had 3 servings of this)
peeled pomelo with diced strawberry, kiwi & mango with vanilla ice cream served in a nice glass

OMG I SO WANT HER APPLE CRUMBLE RECIPE.

sadly i have to start on frustrating projects today:
HRM
PSCM
CON B

grrr.

i'm blessed with the most wonderful friends one could ever have (:
BFF, nigus, 08 girls, melissa, clinton.
each and everyone has done something to touch my heart beyond their knowledge this holiday.
who says tis' the season of boyfriends?
I SAY:
tis' the season of friendship love joy and laughter.


this warm-hearted feeling i get whenever i think of my friends.
that fire you ignited...
is definitely good.

i won't worry my life away

m=s
c=s
s=w
c&m=x&f

nope, not algebra there.
sometimes, sometimes,
friendship is such a complicated web.



"It's a complicated web, that you weave inside my head"
“Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive"



you mean well but you make this hard on me.
i'm learning, the hard way.

best day of my life

Woke up around a half past ten
Can’t believe that I’m late again
Put down about a quart of caffine
To start my pulse and then
I grabbed my jeans off the floor and I hit the door,
Just the same old same

It goes to show
You never know
When everything’s about to change

Just another day
Started out like any other
Just another girl who took my breath away
Then she turned around
She took me down
Just another day that I ....
Had the best day of my life

Can’t say exactly what it was
She’s not the usual type
She wore a cowboy hat
With her red Prada boots
And a Gwen Stefani smile
Then she pulled out a pen and surprised me when
She wrote her number on my hand
Then she was gone,
But from now on
I’m gonna be a different man

Just another day
Started out like any other
Just another girl who took my breath away
Then she turned around
She took me down
Just another day that I ...
Had the best day of my life

I guess it goes to show
You never really know
When everything’s about to change

Just another day
Started out like any other
Just another girl who took my breath away
Then she turned around
She took me down
Just another day that I ...
Had the best day of my life




hi melly baby!
THIS IS FOR YOU YO! (:
thankyoubabelubzxzxchewzxzxdeepdeep!

we made plans to go on a date on tuesday! (9th dec)
my first time wearing swishy flowy skirt out & french braid!
mel wore her swishy flowy skirt as a tube dress.
(:
first times! hee.
met up at Borders and she bought present for yap.
her perm isn't as curly as i expected it to look haha. but it's nice nevertheless. suits her.
Heeren next to try on my glamour kills tops before i order online. (: (: (:
Paragon.
Far East's Pasta Mania. Far East.
Liat Tower's New Esprit. Starbucks.
And we had a helluva time talent-scouting on the streets for people to take pictures of us with my Fujifilm Instax. haha.
Ang Moh. Professional Photographer. Ang Moh.
(ang mohs are like super friendly! and the pro photog surprisingly was very approachable and thanked us for giving him a chance to try this other branch of camera he has never tried before)




I was rather surprised that melly baby wanted to watch a movie at Lido given our last encounter there. (Burn After Reading. lousy movie lousy uncomfortable seats. blardy cold cinema.)
I thought she'd choose Cine (or probably not because it's infested with BIRDS) or Grand Cathay. But I presumed she chose it because it's the nearest.
When we crossed over to Lido, I was staring at the screen showing the movie timeslots. The movies' timings were all 9pm or 9pm+.
"See? I told you movies are always 7+ or 9+ lor. There's no movie that's 8+ one luh!"
-busy texting, ignores me.-
Continues staring at the flickering screen.
"How come the screen's not changing? There's only like Bolt, Bolt 3D, Sex Drive & Quarantine?!"
-she continues texting and ignores me.-
"How? How come so few movies only? Eee, I dont want to watch these. How?"
"Actually, we're watching Twilight today."
I scoffed. "Yeah right."
"Really! We're watching Twilight today."
"Yeah right. I don't believe you."
"REALLY!"
"It's not even showing. It's only launching on the 18th what."
"I'm SERIOUS. We're really watching Twilight."
"I don't believe you!"
"Really! Why don't you believe me?"
(half of me wanted to believe her, but half of me thought i would look super stupid if i believed her and then her story turns out to be bluffing bullocks. it would give her license to mock me for like, probably the rest of my life. and since she's always so full of nonsense i thought it'd be more logical to NOT believe her. also because she didn't look exasperated or anything but all smiley like she's enjoying every minute of it.)
"Ok, if you want me to believe you then show me the tickets."
"If I really have the tickets then what would you do?"
-ponders for a moment-
"I.. I.. If you really have the tickets then I'll give you a kiss!"
And she magically produces a slightly crushed black envelope with "Twilight" printed on its bottom right hand corner (i think) in its signature font. And takes out the invitation with two tickets in it and shoved it at me.
-dumbfounded-
"Ah, ah, so...? Where's my kiss?"
"How'd you get it?"
"My aunt gave it to me. It's the premiere tonight.. 830pm. haha! So, where's my kiss!"
"No wonder you kept on insisting that there is SURE going to be a movie that's 8+... You want on the lips or on the cheeks? HAHAHA."
"WAH. On the lips somemore!"
"Ok la, cheeks la."
*SMOOCH!*
and we happily went up the escalator to the Lido Shaw cineplex.




L.O.V.E.

you're indeed the besterestest thing that happened to me in 2008

Friday, December 05, 2008

breathe bella, breathe.

YAYYY THE MST'S FINALLY OVER!!!
LET'S CELEBRATE!!!


monday - i missed FM paper because i overslept abit (i could've made it if i cabbed down but i contemplated damn long and decided to take MC heh. cuz i'm rather ill-prepared for it. lucky cuz i heard it's bloody tough i think i'd have flunk it.)
i'm like the official MC-make-up-queen. when ppl sick / wanna skip test they come & ask me that module got make-up or not omg!
VART IS THIS?!
(and i'm damn annoyed now ppl are all calling me "CARRR-MEN!" in the stupid indian accent omg i hate it. why cant they call me in like some sexy French accent? WHY INDIAN ACCENT? Ramanan i hate you luh the spark of this "CARRR-MEN" nonsense. whole school of business is calling me that EEKS!)

tuesday - BLAW paper is like OMG i totally screwed up the "enforcement proceedings" nonsense it's supposed to be like garnishing, seizure etc and i got like tricked and wrote about arbitration & litigation. SHOOT!
lunched with shunya, sandra, yanling & sherilyn before heading home to study.
i didnt study much luh. cuz it's tuesday = little nyonya, CSI, Criminal Minds, Sleep.

wednesday - PSCM paper was not bad i guess. cuz it's like 40MCQs.
went town with shunya after that because the paper ended at like 930am. (i finished at 9am and waited for shunya till 930)
we had breakfast at Far East's Subway. shopped around Far East (damn super early no shops opened zzz)
Wheelock next for Paperchase. Tangs next for Benefit. Heeren next for NUM. Starbucks. back to Far East to bus home. Serangoon Central's Singpost for our online spree loot. Went to my salon because shunya recently got an atrocious haircut. she wants my hairstylist to rescue it for her but my hair stylist weren't there. she tried another salon & i waited like damn patiently for her can.
back to my place at 7pm (omg). friendster-ed. dinner-ed. teevee-ed. she went home at 10pm after little nyonya (best!).
so there goes our studying.

thursday - luckily FEB paper's 430pm-530pm. so i still had ample time to study. distracted nevertheless. 40MCQ & 2 structured OMG the structured was KILLA!

today - i just got back home i'm going to bed soon already. (aft i pen down the experience haha ya la ya la THANKS DARRYL SLUTTY BAO)
studied in school 8am - 10am. HRM paper 10am-11am. rot in foodcourt with Clinton, Darryl, Dickson, Bryan & Kellin until it's time for the Dubai ITP talk. (the talk was a total waste of time nothing constructive was revealed everything's still "being worked out" nothing is confirmed -.- there were 25 of us and only 5 would be chosen. WTH.)
rot with Clinton & Darryl in the library.
i will seriously D.I.E. if i were to study with Darryl.
it's worst than mission impossible.
clinton & i were like some military officer supervising him.
i borrowed 10music CDs & 3 DvDs. (there's supposed to be 10more CDs but Darryl's admin card cannot scan DANG!)

when Darryl went for his FMAH paper, Clinton & I went to my brother's office at Commonwealth Car Mall so i could drop off the DvDs & CDs and let my father pick them up after work.
Delfi Orchard thereafter for payment of Clinton's Jap lessons. (we were both broke after that.)
and we walked from Delfi Orchard all the way to Plaza Singapura to meet Darryl! only detouring at Isetan Scotts to check out agnés b. (omg i've never walked this far in Orchard before. NEVER!) and we continued to Grand Cathay.
it was still early for the movie so we walked around before buying Quick Bite & sneaking into the cinema.

Quarantine


ohmybloodyhell.
it was so eggciting.
darryl & i got super talkative and the angmoh sitting next to me asked us to "keep it down".
(sigh. why the angmohs all like that? he's not that bad la. the one xiuyi & i met at GV PS during made of honour was worst.)
and when the excitement started... omg.
i totally lost my appetite and put my Quick Bite bento away (waste money sia)
den i pulled Darryl's tee until it nearly went out of shape.
so i grabbed his thumb instead, until my grip was so tight that his thumb nearly dropped off and my ring finger hurt.
after that i borrowed Clinton's jacket and curled up in my seat.
eyes shut & fingers in my ears.
and i was so tensed that i didnt realized my toes curled till they hurt. and when i realized, i relaxed and omg my toes went cramp!
later in the movie i screamed my lungs out about 5-6 times.
and covered my face with Clinton's jacket and peering at the screen with my head totally buried in Darryl's shoulder LOL!
i couldnt breathe and i was so tensed up that after the movie my whole body ached.
i had to take deep breaths when the movie ended to fill my lungs with air and calm my shaky self down.
after the movie, we went to pee and then to ATM.
i was still freaked out and very jumpy while queuing for the ATM.
annoying Darryl "attacked" me like the zombies in the movie out of the blue and i screamed and the entire atrium turned to look.
-.-
heart raced like mad.
for the first time i wasn't bothered by the embarrassment because i was too freaked out.


KBOX soon please no more horrors for me, Darryl Kok - unless u dont mind ur tee shirts out of shaped or broken fingers.

it's like Ouijia board with nigus after prelims or something.
instead of de-stressing it stressed me even more.
but i'm quite proud of myself i watched like 90% of it.

YAY!
Ben & Jerry's Chunk Fest tmr with 08 girls ((:
Cycling at ECP with melly on Sun and chilling at her place thereafter.
K with the Dip. Plus ppl on Monday. our first class outing!
i'm so psyched!
HOLIDAYS HERE I COME!
only down side is i'm jobless.
no job = no income = budgetted!
dang.

toodles!
