I hate me.
God hates me too.
Fuck.
5 days of effort and still an F. WTF. Don't tell me it's about learning to accept failure and disappointment. Screw that. As if i didn't have enough of that shyt before. Bloody hell.
i know it sounds contradictory. anyway. IT paper today was ... easy...to get tricked. =| totally not easy. even though it's an open book. flip flip flip. waste time. jeez!
ahhhhh exactly 1 day this time, i'll be panicking in the MPSH doing metab. sian! gtg soon. i remember something that love mentioned abt his bro. couldn't admit it but i guess in ways, i am very complacent as well. to the point of foolishness probably. you may see it as being easily contented but that's just putting it mildly i guess. whatever it is, it's a bad habit that i've nv been able to get rid of since young. sigh.
oh. love's cousin's wedding invitation card came. it was addressed to Lawrence and Jolene. I know who's jolene but who's lawrence?! LOL. Lawrence!!! Wahahahahha! wonder why his cousin used his secondary school nickname. so farnie. okay. Lawrence Jacob Q is having his cybercrime paper now. I should go take a nap then start metab @_@. adios.
Even my pet feels the same way as i do.
-_-"
I'm crawling like a snail. My progress that is. Tell me, how do i squeeze everything into my head? If only can squeeze the whole biochem text into my brain. hoho. i hate to think that people have already finished revision for ALL THE SUBJECTS. ouch.
urgh. i know i'm supposed to be doing my studying, lacking behind by 6 whole days liao. i just met ling for lunch, passed her the clutch me and seema got for her 23rd birthday, which is today! happy birthday girl! =) i can't believe that i'm physically at home but my heart is somewhere else. i keep thinking about this silver-grey top i saw at DP on saturday and yesterday. love said it was v. nice too, he actually asked me to try it on yesterday but i was just too plain lazy. and now serve me right for thinking about it. gah!
realised that i'm actually progressing alot more slowly for IT than i had expect. i actually went to ask rt a very stupid question. 'What does the markup in HTML refer to ar?' -_-" i ought to be shot.
woke up at 8am and went for 1st service today. well actually i went for 1 and a half services @_@ cos had to wait for bubu to finish backup singing before going down to yan's palace to meet my mom. 3 of us had dim sum at yan's palace! =)
my mom bought me a plastic cover for my hp, to replace the one she broke. actually i wanted to get the new cover myself but the 1st shop that i went to at clementi, the cover didnt fit properly so i didn't get it and the shopkeeper was actually nice enough to refund the money back. and so heng, my mom actually bought the plastic cover that was the exact same design that i had gotten! i think partly becos she heard my loud shriek yesterday night. i had just gotten home and was still toking to bubu on the phone. then when i ended the call, i slided the phone back and the front plastic cover fell to the floor (it was loose becos my mom broke it that day when she dropped my hp on the floor *heart pain*) and crack into 2 pieces -_-" anyway, impt thing is .....YAYS it has a new cover again! =D
Dim sum at yan's palace today was....alright. not as nice as the 1st time i went there. why? standard abit drop today. probably due to the INSANE crowd. Crazy de. dunno why when we reached the place there's like 10++ people waiting outside and inside as well. WAD THE. That day at 1pm when i finished eating, came out to take photo of the entrance also no one -__-" how come today suddenly so many people. what's the occasion? siao eh! saded wor, i had so much wanted to eat braised e-fu noodle. but when it was served, the noodles had a "plastic" taste. so strange. urgh. sian. had wanted to ask for a change but the manager said that it was the taste. so okay lor, cancel the dish then. hai. sad. didn't get to eat! after that the 3 of us had dessert at our usual place.
after that me and bubu went down to PS to catch stardust. BUT then, left 2 rows from the front! oh man. so in the end we decided to buy the tix from PS for the show at GV grand. got gd seats. took the free shuttle bus from ps to great world.
OH man! Stardust was very nice!!!! hahaa~ I know la, show's abit old liao, now then i watch ;x better late than never. I think it was rather ingenius to star Robert de Niro as Capt. Shakespeare. He really made the character shine. He carried off the "Arrr...Macho Man" facade and Refined gentleman oh so well. hahaha Great acting! I think love didn't find it as nice cos he knows the story already, having read the book some time back. And now i recall that love had mentioned Neil Gaiman before. He can really write very well, but his stories are rather dark and disturbing. Stardust is just one of his "milder" works.
We walked to river valley road for dinner. Went to eat Boon Teng Kee Chicken rice, cos me nv eat b4 ;x 
Chicken rice & 梅菜扣肉
Alrighty. I think i should go rest now. super exhausted. Not to mention super dead because i haven't started anything. SHEET!!! Good thing they changed the rules of the stupid dota on facebook. It's more lame now. guess that'll deter me from playing liao. woot. Nevertheless, happy to have enjoyed my day. Now it's time to defeat the giant of doubt and distraction as well as the monster called sloth.
was supposed to go swim at safra today! but before me and love left love's place, loud thunder boomed. Noooooo....when we got there, we realised the cost for entry for a guest was insanely priced. freaking $2.55 bucks. eh wth! so in the end we gave it a miss. thankfully though. 'cause just minutes later, it started to drizzle. we then walked around the place abit. wanted to try the japanese ala carte buffet there - Himawari. Unfortunately the lunch buffet was over already. haiz. no go.
after that we walked back from safra mount faber back to love's place. 'cause he forgot to take the document needed to collect his bro's creative mp3 (mp-CHUI, if u ask me, creative SUCKS) player. after that we went down vivo to grab a light snack (was about 4pm already) before taking 97 to creative. got there. couldn't collect the thing because they were closed for their warehouse sale preview. asked one of the staff there for assistance and they told us to wait till 6pm. WTH. That day when the person called Bubu to ask to come down collect the mp3 player, that guy didn't even mentioned about when NOT to come down becos the place was closed; he just said anytime before 7pm. Anyway, it was 4.50pm then. Fine, bubu decided to wait. okay. though i felt that it was just a collection of one stupid mp3 player nia, won't take more than 15minutes. why can't just pass us the mp3 player. Nvm, so we waited. Bubu went to ask another staff for help. Again, same moronic reply - wait till 6pm. (why do they say the same thing? are they robots or just inflexible one-cell organisms?) Loitered around the place for 1 hour plus. Bubu asked another 2-3 staffs for help. Again, same response. So we sat down at some of the chairs that were placed outside the place for the preview. Bubu started to lose patience liao. Finally when one of the staff came and approach Bubu about entering the preview, bubu gave the person a piece of his mind. Sensing a very very displeased customer, the guy FINALLY did something useful - ask one of his other staff to attend to Bubu. Idiots. Should have done so in the first place. Horrendous customer and after sales service. Was i shocked/surprised by Bubu's outburst? Alittle, only because i wondered why he didn't make a big fuss at the very beginning. That way we won't have had to spend 1 hour waiting. Freaking wasted 1 hour of our lives just waiting. Damn.
After that blood-boiling incident, we walked over to IMM for our dinner at Hoshi. Had sashimi, teriyaki cod fish, chawamushi, softshell crab, tempura prawns, teppanyaki prawn and beef, yakitori, shisamo, agedashi tofu, fried ika, steamed shu mai, green tea ice cream...think should be that. haha~ Stuffed to the brim! Great food; even better company, said love. I can't agree more. =p Happy....1 year 2 months and 6 days! No NGs this time! LOL~ (cause can backspace and delete the words)
Whee~ presentation went okay today!!! despite my tummy being in tight knots before it. -_-" everyone in the grp could see it. lol. *fold arms and pace around nervously* bah. and just when we thought our website looks too wordy, too chui. other group's websites aren't any better as well. ;x haha!
came home. love and i ate a very late lunch at 4 and started watching the dvds that were due today. started with last king of scotland. wah. i think it was a painful show to watch @_@ talks about a late president of uganda, Idi Amin. so scary. Seems that many great leaders all started out being quite a good and effective governor but later on just let all that power corrupt them and become so crazy and siao. after all the killing, violent and disturbing scenes, we switched to a comedy - you, me and dupree. haha! i actually found it quite funny and not too bad. was a darn good break from the previous show. then bubu and i had dinner while watching little children. oh man. no wonder it was M18. really quite "wrong", some of the scenes. rather heart-wrenching to watch. urgh. kate winslet's character, sarah is so poor thing. She is a housewife, has a young daughter and a husband who has a weird fetish. anyway sarah had an affair with the male lead. the male lead is married as well, is a househusband with a young son and a perfectly beauty wife. the ending was unfortunately bad =( BUT it is THE MOST logical ending. Kind of expected that it'll happen. Anyway the male lead is just one selfish idiot. looks good but useless. we finished watching the shows at about 10.10pm. and immediately rushed down to the store to return them before it closes at 10.30pm. After that we went mac for a snack. jeez. *continually well-fed state* eat watch watch eat watch eat. eek!
found this on winnie's blog. some personality test based on how you draw your house. o.O doesn't seem to be accurate for me. anyway here's the picture i drew
i know it looks abit kiddish ah. but very hard to draw with the mouse leh! =\
This is what it says:
Based on your drawing and the 10 answers you gave this is a summary of your personality -
Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You are shy and reserved. If you've drawn a cross on each of windows, you always want to live alone. You are very tidy person. There's nothing wrong with that because you're pretty popular among friends. Your life is always full of changes.
You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be.
You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love. We also see that you are sensuous, sexual, and privately passionate. You don't think much about yourself.
The weather was fantastic today. went to take metab CA2. was okay i guess. a few careless mistakes, but at least way better than CA1 where i barely made it with a pass T.T. after that me and girls went to arts canteen for lunch. had very much wanted to go swimming with ada since the weather was so fabulous, what a waste not to go swimming or go to the beach! then when i met bubu, he reminded me that i still had 4 DVDs unwatched, that are due on wednesday. Aww man. there goes my swim =(
A chance encounter outside the lift library and i finally got introduced to love's lookalike in life science - leonard. Haha! and my goodness. i was totally O_O. Not only does he look like bubu, he speaks and sound exactly like bubu! OH MY GOODYNESS. but of course not half as siao as bubu la. but really so alike! Oh man. issit because the bass people from sa choir have been around each other too much? lol. i can't believe how they can sound and behave so much alike. bubu, chris, leonard all sound so alike. except junhao i think. cos he always tio bully by them. LOL.
after bubu and i left school we went to ntuc buy some stuff for dinner. we whipped up prawn and mushroom aglio olio.
tasted great. just like last time, a whee bit better =p
I think my mom felt bad for dropping my phone the other day. so she got me a cute hippo cushion for my hp ^_^
super cute! one toothed hippo!
i made bubu watch jay's secret on dvd with me on the computer, 'cause my mom was watching last king of scotland dvd on the tv. erm. the show was...oh man. slow moving. plot was alright...though at the end i was wondering why did jay appear in the photo. bubu kept saying it's not jay in the photo. i kept telling him it is. -_-" then as we were going to search the wiki page for the movie...the fatty broke my cpu chasis door. my first thought: WHAT THE HELL. how can u even freaking break my door?! wah lao eh! ~!@#$%^&* i got super duper pissed. such that i think both bubu and my mom didn't even dare to utter a word or sound. i tried to fix the door back, but couldn't. because the hinge had gotten quite loose already. when bubu tried to fix it back, the hinge finally gave way and broke. *insert explicit language* hai.
i went to keep the door that had been broken off my chasis in my cupboard, went to do some washing. all the while feeling super duper pissed, thinking what the hell did i do, why within this month my 2 most important possessions being subjected to unwanted trauma by 2 of my most important people. damnit~!@#$%^&* Love kept apologising but being still angry, i ignored him and didn't wanna talk to him at all. he then went to facebook on my computer, changed my status and mood. then he open notepad and typed this: 'God is telling you, to not put your treasures on this earth. but to live in him....
material possesions are only temporary...' then he went to refresh my bible verses on facebook. the verse that came up was Proverbs 23:7 As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. I finally broke the awkward silence by asking him what does it mean. then bubu typed this on the notepad: 'means.. if u hold material possessions close to your heart.. then u are only as good as ur possessions are...'. =\ we then flipped to my NIV bible and that verse depicts the same meaning. then bubu asked me 'so which is more impt? the door or me? your hp or your mom?' hai. made me feel so terrible. what's material / external stuff compared to human relationships? material stuff, once spoilt, can be replaced. but human relationships? once the damage/wound is inflicted, it will always leave a scar and often is hard to mend.

An interesting video. It's called 'The machines are us/ing us' It shows the progression of how things started with pen and paper and then slowly man depended on machines but thinking about it, at the very end, even though we say we are USING the machines, the platforms, the programmes for our purposes, inevitable we are being USED because we have to conform to certain settings/limitations/regulations set down by the machines themselves. It's almost like we are no longer controlling the machines but actually letting the machines control us and how we use them o.O
oh, and for the record 
my once nice but now ugly chasis without a door T.T
dun come and tell me it still looks nice, cos it doesn't =( tummybear left his mark on it. must be silent revenge bcos i made him watch secret with me ;x LOL
saturday night i got so fed-up with studying metab and all the stupid damn enzymes and regulation. actually "fed-up" is seriously an understatement to describe how i feel about metabolism and regulation. anyway i got rather upset and was thinking about the current state i'm in; whether or not i should change course because i'm really suffering and dying in science. wondering why i chose this path and put myself in the misery i'm in. i prayed and asked God of course. then this sunday morning when i went to church, i seemed to have gotten my "answer". the first sentence of the sermon immediately spoke to me. 1) Be faithful to whatever task you are assigned now. whoa. when i read that i immediately thought "win already. speechless liao." second sentence was 2) God knows where you are and 3) God will seek you in due course. okayyy. so that means i'll just have to wait then. sigh. i told bubu about it, bubu laugh at me. bleah.
anyway, disturbia was good. watched the dvd just now while bubu and i ate dinner.
Mm. was just talking to rt when he made me realise a pattern / cycle in my academic "achievements"
kindergarden - did well
primary sch (PSLE) - barely made it
sec sch (O levels)- did well
jc (A levels) - barely made it
poly - did well
uni - barely made it
aiyo damnit. im not sure if the pattern says anything. jeez.
okay. i'm supposed to NOT be online ;x will be gone in a jiffy. love and i cooked chicken laksa for dinner (used premix la!)! was quite yummy. been so long since we lasted cooked something together =) rented a whole lot of dvds. yah, rather bad timing but bo bian. vouchers gonna expire liao! lol~ we watched this show called "the condemned" rather cheesey title. it's about these 10 notorious prisoners from all over the world (all with death roll sentence) being thrown on an island and they're supposed to be the last one standing at the end of 30hours. and all the while that they're on the island, their each and every move is taken on video and streamed via the internet to viewers world wide. it does say abit about the internet and media nowadays huh. rather violent show if u ask me. was alright la, all unknown stars. i think the only actor i find familiar is the steve austin. bubu says he's from WWE. diao. simi stonecold steve austin. aiyo. love felt the show was quite nice though -_-" okay...i tink i should go off. wasted about 20mins liao.
oh. side note before i go. why this trend of setting up of passwords for personal blogs huh? don't people realise that anonymity and privacy are non-existent in the cyberworld? hmm. =/ and this is really de season of unhappiness man. the exams are just around the corner and also suddenly i hear of many friends having problems in their relationships =( so saddening and heart aching to hear. maybe it's the stress. maybe it's the crazy weather. maybe i'm just not making any sense right now o.O
can this day get any worse, seriously?
woke up. tried to start studying metab. progress was horrendously slow. hai. the stuff just refuses to register in my head. then i felt so insecure again. i dunno why. and no, it isn't pms. perhaps it's just me. decided to call him. felt alittle better i guess. started to watch webcast. halfway through, my mom screamed. she had dropped my phone on the floor. great. that's like the 2nd drop within 1 week. kns. in response to that, i was so freaking peeved, i only managed a "thanks so much ah!" then she freaking ask me to check the hp. CHECK FOR F***!? how to check? check what? check that it's not spoilt? check that it's still working? check that the camera never spoil? wah lao eh. the 4 day old casing also can crack. what can i say? need to go down sls get another. crappy piece of shyt. if the hp spoil how?, gonna get me another meh? DL! no appetite for dinner liao lah. forget it. i'm not gonna care.
12.01am already. My birthday is offically over. keke. nevertheless, it was a special and memorable 23, made possible by people close to my heart. you know who you all are. thank you all so much. i heart you all ^_^
i gotta admit i was feeling rather fatigued today, due to the lack of sleep and weird tummy for the past couple of days. met love after school. i went home first to put down my bag then bubu said wanna go holland village. then very strange wor. got people keep sms bubu then i saw bubu's sms. so...kind of found out. lol ;x then the duck kept telling jokes and make the bunny laugh. such that we missed our stop at holland v. -_-" suddenly when love ask me "eh where to alight ah?" then i looked out of the window and saw the coffee club express sign pass the bus window on the right side and the 7 bus took us all the way towards the expressway. oh my goodness. technically it's 1 bus stop away but wah kao. the distance was INSANELY far. so bo bian. alighted at the next stop and walked back. the cross junction at farrer road was dangerously scary. had to cross like 4 pedestrian crossings before getting to the other side of the road and the cars seem to turn at very fast speeds out of nowhere into the various lanes. took a bus back to holland v.
bubu brought me to El Patio Mexican Restaurant where my lovely ladies were already there waiting for us =) supposed to be pleasant surprise but minus the surprise and definitely more than pleasant. hehe~ the food there was not bad, hou exotic ah. never ever tried mexican food before. we had this hot plate dish (Fajita), of which one is lamb and the other is chicken. the lamb hot plate was really tasty. the sauces served however, quite unique ah. guacamole. aiyo the guacamole taste was....-_-" one tasted like coconut the other tasted like nonya kueh. LOL. i dunno why ah, we always seem to localise all the foreign cuisines. lol. wraps and the burrito become popiah. wahahhahaa! after we had dinner, amanda called to wish me and explained that she had family dinner thats why couldn't be there. then was talking to her halfway when suddenly ziqin and pam brought out a cake with 5 candles to the table! ^_^ and it's not just any cake; it was an oreo cheesecake! aiyo my fav =p hehe. whoa. so long no have cake for birthday already. T.T *gan dong*
Anyway, here are some random pics. 
this small bowl is what my mom calls the 'super high cholesterol aka unhealthy bowl' because it's an appetizer filled with century egg at the top, steamed egg below and topped with ebiko and other roe. lol. EGGY! 
from left - buta kimuchi (pork belly with kimchi) [nice!], salmon and swordfish sashimi, Agedashi tofu, king alaska prawn
pork belly miso soup, chawanmushi, potato salad and garlic fried rice (nice!)
Long wallet! =) surprise². the girls got me one from one of my fav brands xD
Kawaii~ Awww....
Ah. Many many thanks to the sweet and thoughtful girlfwens, my larling bubu, ling&seema, my mom and all the dear friends who remembered and made this day a special one. =) birthdays have always been a simple affair for me, but this year i'm truly blessed. nothing beats the simple company of close friends and loved ones.
my tummy has gotten chui again. feels so weird right now @_@ must have been the damage done just now. older by 1 year, weak liao T.T
anyway, had dinner (ala-carte buffet) at hanabi with my mom. the food was ...alright. wanted to take pictures but hor my lao bu kept eating every new dish that came. i like competing with her, see who can snap or eat first. in the end i decided to heck the photo taking, eat first. LOL. anyway, variety-wise, +points. quality wise, -points. =\ should have gone kuishinbo instead. meh~ when she wished me happy birthday, her next question was "so when u graduate huh?" i replied "2009" then her next question was "so when getting married ah?" dot dot dot. *stressful* at the back of my mind i was thinking why u ask me this question >_< nuuuuuuuuuuu. so scary. don't want to think. still long and full of uncertainty. =( sigh. i need my job first. anything else will have to wait. in your most pessmistic pov, got money no boyfriend also nvm. ('cause at least you'll be able to at the very least provide for yourself and pamper yourself.)
long post ahead
i woke up this morning, feeling so weary and my eyes were still very tired and swollen from all that sobbing and tearing the night before. the worse kind of doubt is indeed self-doubt. i doubted my own relationship and got so affected by a simple casual comment that a friend made. The comment was so casual, the person probably didn't even realise it and it was also myopic in nature yet i let it affect me so much. sigh. i was so affected, i had no appetite for dinner and i went frantically searching for people to speak to. not exactly the best course of action. spoke to 2 people, ended up sobbing while relating what affected me so much. i'm very thankful for their patience but i still felt like shyt. after much reluctance, i eventually spoke to love about what was making me so upset. after that i felt worse than before. why? 'cause it made him even more upset than i was. =( i realised i shouldn't have doubted myself, and in doing so, doubted us. we eventually sorted things out, though the damage done was clear and evident.
and so when i got to church this morning, my eyes could hardly open. i was feeling so jaded that i didn't realise love's dad was one of the ushers, so i didn't say hi to him. alamak -.-" minus marks liao. sad. anyway, today's sermon (1 Sam 13-15) was about expedience, rebellion and the last one i forgot >_< but it has something to do with focusing about ourselves instead of God. expedience is to follow the way which most people regard advantageous or simply because "since others are doing it also..." instead of the way of the righteous. i think most of us are often guilty of committing this. rebellion brought in the idea of partial obedience, which is exactly what Saul did. I guess it serves to remind us that at the end of it all, our heavenly Father is the centre of it all; the focus should be on Him and not on us.
after service, bubu brought me to Yan's palace for lunch. 
yes, i know i look damn sianz. lol! starving state leh, living on muscle glycogen. somemore so jaded, how to smile. =\
1st up, Cha Siew Sou. Oh man. I'm not a fan of cha siew sou and seriously this cha siew sou looks so ordinary and ugly. But this is just a MUST ORDER when u come here to eat. The pastry is nice, soft and flaky. Meat also very tender T.T so nice man!
Century egg porridge. What I will never fail to order when i go eat dim sum. I just love century egg porridge. Theirs is yummy =)
Ha Gao. Actually there was 4 but yeah, i think you can guess what happened to the other 2 even before i took the pic. lol. we both ate 1 each then realised forgot to take pic :X
Tada! Lotus leaf glutinous rice. Me dislikes lotus leaf glutinous rice. I repeat. Me dun like 荷叶饭. But after tasting this, i think i'm gonna be a convert. The rice is so soft and tasty, it's almost paste-like. i can't even taste each grain. Nice! Mixed with the mushrooms & meat = delectable. Not to mention, there's a surprise at the VERY end of it. Haha! Salted eggs~ yum =D
Siew mai
Pork ribs
Stewed chicken feet
Before i came, i thought hong xing (redstar) was nice. Bah. Never gonna go back there again. lol. Yan's palace will be at the top of my dim sum list from now =)
Outside Yan's palace after eating. Took a picture of the entrance. Realised that got our reflection. I was looking at the photo on my phone and telling bubu that got our reflection when the phone slipped outta my hands..........and landed on the red brick floor. x_x i screamed. Hai. the heartache. less than 1 month old nia. T_T
2nd shot. Camera still working? *gulp
saded. my phone T_T got scratches liao. ~!@#$%^&* me and my butter fingers. lucky thing was, my phone's white. scratches not that obvious. haiz. but...dunno got internal injury or not. sobs. so we decided i shld get a casing for my phone. okay, we headed towards bugis. then, since i was feeling happily stuffed, i suggested that we walk to bugis from chinatown ;x and bubu so kindly let the birthday princess have her way. wahahah! along the way we stopped by at funan 'cos bubu wanna see got hellgate london demo bo. but we combed the whole building le, nada. so we left for bugis. reached bugis, walked towards sls. crossed towards the bugis hawker centre when bubu suddenly stopped me and said "eh did u see? ur fren leh!" "Huh, got meh? which one?" Apparently it was cheeseng. Cheeseng and i both walked past each other but didn't see each other. Bubu couldn't remember his name and by the time i realised it was him, he and his friends already walked damn far liao. Then bubu commented "You both so funny la. One too tall, one too short. Both walk past each other didn't see each other." Weiiii, implying i'm so short that i'm not even within cheeseng's line of vision issit? T.T (cheeseng is 179cm btw)
got to sim lim square. found the casing for my phone. yays. sobsob. 5 bucks to save me from further heartache. but the damage already done....*whines* after that we went around looking for hellgate london again. @_@ CE is $69.90 cheapest. So many people looking/buying that game lor. latest craze. i'm sorry but GE can go suck thumb liao :X
after walking around sls, we headed to fortune center. since basil alcove only opens at 6.30pm, we went to sit around and wait alittle. went to one of the coffeeshop at fortune centre. bubu had coffee and started to look at the foods sold by one of the stalls. it was selling boiled soups. one of the soups was a potato carrot soup. and they named it the 'ABC soup'. then bubu asked me what does the ABC sound for. C is obviously for carrot. what abt A n B? then as i thought about all the possible ingredients that started with A and B, Mr Quek gave me the 'answer'. ABC soup = Ah-nion, Botato, Carrot soup. Aiyo. So lame until i couldn't stop laughing. LOL.
6.30pm, we went to have dinner at basil alcove. oh man, finally both of us get to dine together there. and bubu found out that the other time he came and ate pasta, the guy that served him is actually the boss! hahaha~ bubu thought the guy was working there 'cos of the way he dressed. Big chef no need to dress so nicely la, still need to cook leh. hehe
Love's basilico duck
Lamb rack. Remind me next time not to order this. aiyo. not that it isn't nice; it is. but hor, i eat until i very tired. @_@ cos i refuse to eat with my hands haha! but eventually i had to. cos just too hard to cut up. grr.
after dinner, bubu keep insisting that we should take 131 back to his place because he wants to return my water bottle to me. (that day we used it to make our own iced milo and he brought it home to drink) i was quite reluctant 'cause i dun wan to take 3 buses back home from bugis when i actually have 1 straight bus and wondering why he was so insistent on giving it back to me so soon. but anyway, we ended up taking 131 and i waited for bubu at the lift downstairs while he went up to get the bottle. He came back down very soon with my bottle and..................my birthday gift. T.T
Precious moments ^_^
Yays! Exactly wad i needed. finally i got my own bible le...T_T and somemore the pages are silver-rimmed la! (me no really like gold ;x) lovely =)
The bus trip back to my place felt like a guilt trip for me. When i found out how much effort he had to go through to get the gift (nvm abt the moomoo-box and the kueh neng gou that i like can buy again de =) ) , i just felt like the 千古罪人 already. the whole thing suddenly dawned on me, and i realised how much heartache i've put love through yesterday. oh man. -_-" but really, the damage already done. i can't turn back time and re-edit everything. shucks.
In the past birthdays were always either during exams, or during holidays. Never really celebrated them except when i was much younger, 4 and before. The other one after that was a surprise celebration after PSLE where we had a mini gathering at a classmate's house. 21st was of course memorable as well =) Thanks so much baby, for making my 22nd and 23rd birthdays so special! i'm so sorry for the heartache i caused u =( promise i'll make it up to u. haiz~ XOXO
As i reflect back now, i just can't help but feel really thankful to God for having you. =)
Note: I finally know why my legs so suan liao! We combed our way up each and EVERY floor of funan to find bubu's hellgate london demo and combed our way down to find my life bookshop. then after that still stand at the giant plasma/lcd tv exhibit there watch transformers. ;x becos aku watched until very engrossed, dun wan to move. then in the end watch until most exciting part, where sam gonna pass the cube to the helicopter nia then......the playback stopped. Zzz. Eh we were not the only ones standing there okay. Got a handful of other people too. lol.
Add: yeee...bubu bluff me. haha! made me cannot find lifebookshop. distract me with transformers. i feel like a kiddie. lol.
1) i actually received a happy birthday wish from nic (in person) last monday, which was like 8 days in advance. haha but nevertheless still thoughtful of him =)
2) on thursday bubu got me cupcakes, then wish me happy birthday. sweet, he remembered. but eh~~~ haven reach yet. haha! then i look at bubu and say "1 year ago got a nice jacket, 1 year later downgrade to cupcakes nia issit?" lol then bubu reminded me that i haven't gave him his. ahem~ but we went to the zoo okay! i brought him to see his relatives wor! :p promise give u extra big xmas present~ hehe
3) met ling for lunch today (finally~ after the past few times keep on cannot meet because either one of us sms the other when the other already had plans liao) and she passed me a gift she and seema bought for me. they remembered. *gan dong* T_T they got me a bag. it's so my colour. yay~ got new bag to go gai-gai with le. my floral bag can finally take a break liao. bubu keep complaining the floral bag is very dirty. it is not lor! =( shu may from church said it's very nice okay. bleh.

tummy feeling so chui since early morning. such that i didn't go sch today, just rest n rest =( the girls were very sweet, smsed me and ask me whether i'm well. abit better, still alive. @_@ tried to watch webcast, but i tink i'm going to go rest again. it seems to be acting up again. zzz. and owner sick, lcd oso want to fall sick. it's looking green lor! kao. supposed to be white but looks green o.O aiyo. going to chui liao. ah i go lie down....cannot take it.
oh darn. i have just wasted much of the day doing nothing except sms-ing to disturb people and ask them about japanese restaurants recommendations. lol. cos i was too lazy to go forums and search haha! :x but in the end i did anyway. and it made me stumble upon Ikoi again! haha~ went there with my mom before. Japanese Ala carte buffet. Food was good imo, but service is really as raw as the sashimi served. =/ horrendous service yet it still gets a super long queue before it even opens for business. (mind you, the people queueing already made reservations) so no reservations = i dunno how u gonna get in. but the sashimi and soups are just fantastic! mm, i wanna go again! :( i wanna go hoshi too. but i oso wanna go hanabi and akashi. ayeee.....T_T
while me is craving and searching for good japanese dining places, me lurfu has been telling me about hellgate london ever since yesterday when he went to funan for the launch. =| i havent seen it yet so pardon my slight indifference. the gameplay system is interesting la i must say, though some parts like still seems quite weird to me. guns and use of runes are just so......not together. like cha kway teow and cheese. strange. and the templar class looks so like Halo. i dun like. cabalist sounds interesting though, haven see how it looks yet. and bubu got very smart. keep talking about hellgate london then say "pupu ah, christmas coming hor?" i was drinking water when he told me that. at first i didn't think much into it, when i did catch it, i nearly turned into merlion. @_@
Haiz. all these talk about plans for future is really getting very depressing! i dun want to end up being a research assistant! the last thing i want is my weekends being burnt :( and and...the more i think about the future costs the more i feel upset~ how am i ever going to afford all that? and i forgot that apart from banquet got church de oso. argh :X i'm a bad and forgetful child. i didn't even know (because nobody told me, until bubu dropped the bomb) that need to go through preparation course. i was asking "HUH!? WHAT?! sure anot? then isn't that exactly like license to wed? oh man!" dunno whether for real or pulling my leg. =\ but anyway, at this point of time, whatever it is, i need to save save save. SIGH. the lack of marney is saddening~
