it's 10pm and i've just finished printing the notes for tml. my mom just tried to tempt me to eat at home for dinner tml by saying that got hao liao (sea cucumber) if i dun come back for dinner than i chi kui. -_-" lame leh. i AM gonna be home for dinner tml anyway what. so i muttered a "wu liao". she laughed and said i got no sense of humor.
work was not bad today though, despite how my day started. before my alarm clock rang, i woke up from painful tummyaches -.-" must be something i ate on saturday. am guessing it's the cha kway teow. was deciding whether or not to turn up for work till i almost was late. i turned up anyway. check-in was at pan pac today and us agents couldn't choose where we were stationed :( but turned out okay i guess. i ended up being stationed between 2 quite above average looking guys ;x jk! well the thing was i felt it was sweet that love came over to my counter to pass me a big bottle of water ;D (which later he said was actually also a gesture to show i'm taken. use water to 'mark his territory') dot dot. hahaha! anyway, as usual, had people who were pretty if not very upset with the organization of the whole thing. hey man, it ain't my fault. blame the management. but there was a huge episode of drama today. some angmoh got super peeved with the visa application thing. he was saying that he read online saying that there wasn't a need to apply for visa to thailand but in actual fact it really depends on what kind of passport you hold and i think apparently he didn't apply for one. Certain country passports have to apply visa WAY beforehand if not you basically cant go to that country. So this guy began to YELL at one of the agents from the ship, (thank goodness it wasn't any of the check-in agents) demanding an explanation for the lack of action taken to pursue the matter (because certain country passports have to apply visa WAY beforehand if not you basically cant go to that country) and basically created a huge scene. i was taken aback but qh (the guy beside me from smu) was just calm. jeez man. was it really necessary to make such a big fuss? oh nvm. come to think of it. sometimes that's about the only way to get things done FAST. ah. flakybear earned tips again today, from all the wheelchair pushing and baggage carrying. damn. check-in agents get nothing la! so unfair hor?
Had our dinner at marina square food court. guess who we saw? it's the feminine looking guy from arts that took changing landscapes. o.O weirdest thing was i realised that certain angle (if u dun look at dressing) he has a striking resemblance with.....jie lun. =| wonder why i didn't notice that before. probably got turned off by his usual dressing to notice anything lol. for dessert we went to the xin wang cafe. went in and ordered a triple ice. wah lao. the place was freezing cold and our shaved ice took a super long to come. when we asked one of the waiter to help us check, the response was hilarious. "Er, sorry ah. The guy who was making ur shaved ice actually did it already but it didn't turn out well. 'cos he's new to the job. so need to redo. It's on the way already" diao. in the end the shaved ice came, was huge but was rock solid as well. -_-" took a great amount of effort just to eat HALF of it. zzz in the end we gave up at the 1/3 mark.
sian. cant believe how fast my thursday-sunday past. sucks big time. i didn't even have time to catch up on work. i wonder why. readings are starting to pile up and guess what, tutorials haven't even started! gosh. whatever! off to bed first. extremely fatigued. bet flakybear is already in dreamland long ago.
totally disinterested in cell bio lectures.
got to work tmr.
nevertheless, the message is clear.
reached home at around 12 last night. busy day yesterday. had a long day in school (10-6)! goodness~ had experimental bio practical. we girls chiong-ed to grab a whole bench to ourselves hurhur! so we're all grouped together (all 12 of us), yays! after that, rushed to print lsm2204 protocols. woot! managed to finish quite fast and then rushed to go meet my buyer. sold my biochem text! then rushed over to dan's place!
when i got there at about 6+, the guys (jh, dan and love) already halfway thru saw 1, which i watched recently on dvd. after 1, we continued to 2, without much breaks in between. lol~ order 8 piece kfc (some prosperity meal) for dinner! woot~ craving for kfc satisfied. seriously, do not attempt to eat kfc while watching saw. lol. lost quite a bit of appetite when we were watching 2 & 3 and eating our dinner. cos all our food had RIBS. dan had pork RIB rice and we had kfc chicken pieces. and in i believe it was 3? a lady (kerry, the detective) ribs got pulled apart -_-
halfway through the saw 3, a huge cockroach flew in from the window! eek. i siam right to the other end of the room. then love said "dun worry la, if it comes near i eat it for u okay!" haha! but the funniest has got to be junhao already. when the cockroach flew into the living room and started flying around, threaten to fly near us, we asked dan where's the shieldtox. then jh grabbed it and "saved" us all! the cockroach was flying around then jh sprayed at it in midair. Good shot! the cockroach's altitude fell by abit; jh sprayed at it again. then the cockroach fell to the floor. both love and i were like "OH yay! Junhao! Good job!" We thought he would stop but then, junhao said "eh? why won't die one ar?" then he continued spraying and spraying and even chased it into one of the bedroom. LOL! me and love laugh till pengz! then dan was saying "u need to wait la, it'll die after awhile." think the poor cockroach probably died of fright and overdose of shieldtox :X
by the time we got around to watching saw 4, all of us were rather silent and somewhat desensitized by all the bloody and gore and horrible deaths already. lol. like the beginning of saw 4 when the coroner was performing an autopsy on john kramer's body and peeling away his scalp and drilling through his skull to take out his brain, we were all no longer squeamish. it was just plain looking at the screen O_O with no other reaction~ lol!
Finished watching at 11.45pm. Overall, i guess the first one is still the nicest. probably cos it was the first one to be shown after all. the twist at the very end was the best! And the whole thing was just ingenious.
man. the cough is still around. =( >1month liao. jeez~ suddenly have a terrible headache. maybe lack of sleep. long and boring day ahead tml. practical! sian. only consolation is the Saw marathon the guys been planning. though i dun see how we're supposed to find all 4 shows. By the time it'll be 3am++ ~ Thank goodness no school on thursday.
Wanting to go...
T_T feeling so broke due to the extravagant spending from last saturday till this week. have not totally switched back to schooling mode yet, though i have gotten all my textbooks (2nd hand) for this sem's mods already. call me blur but i just realised that they made sociology open book this sem! O_O. Meaning....that i have a total of only 3 exam papers this sem, out of which 2 is open book. *grins* hey wait. actually, on second thought, i'm rather worried. it may/may not be a good thing. *shrugs*
have a sudden urge to get a lappy. nice portal metal book that i can bring around and use it anywhere in the house. kinda lazy to be stuck seated in my chair just to use my black pc. ah. but i just spent money to upgrade my baobei not too long ago. oh well. realised that i don't have much to do online nowadays (apart from ivle, nusmail and blogger). my pc is seriously underutilized. the only thing i play now that's even considered close to a "game" is (fluff)friends. :X the boy calls me a (fluff)addict. no way! how can that be right? i only feed my pet and bet on races only mah.
on the other hand, mom seems to be "back to normal" liao. thank God. maybe she was just upset earlier that how come i'm always not home or something. i'm just making guesses here. alright. i believe i should turn in SOON. stupid cough seems to be getting worse. gotta enjoy my relaxed and nice first week of school before everything starts proper and i get swarmed with lessons and tons of work!
i have no classes on thursdays. i almost officially have a 3 day week for school. depending on my tutorial balloting, which starts tomorrow. anyway, i dun have school on thurs & friday for this week (1st week of sch). yays. (there's a 2hr lec on friday but woot. webcast ftw! :x) nevertheless, i foresee this semester being a very hectic one even though i've only got 4 mods this sem. 2 core + 1 ARTS elective (readings, readings, readings) and 1 core elective that can kill. -_-"
i honestly think i need time-off. i need alittle time to sort out my thoughts before i start the semester proper. feel totally exhausted and frustrated in some sense. for one, my mom's been acting rather strange; giving me the hot & cold treatment ever since i got back from my trip. i wonder what's wrong. then there's ah bu. i've been losing my temper quite abit & throwing tantrums at him. =( next, there's ling. supposed to meet her but i keep forgetting to sms her. and then there's my health. stupid cold/cough subsided and came back. jeez! the worse one would be, of course, not spending enough time with God. sigh.
Anyway, went to meet ah bu after school today. we met & decided to go suki to eat. so we took bus and headed down to paradiz centre. great. the place DAO BI liao. sianness 25%. then i remembered cine has one as well. so we took a bus down. reached cineleisure, the place was jam packed. totally no tables available and i didn't want counter seats. sianness raised to 50%. went down to 1st floor and went up again. in the end finally got seats after waiting for i dunno how damn long. ate already then walked to PS. went to catch Le Grand Chef. quite an entertaining show really. it really is a comedy. very funny. would have been more enjoyable if not for the coughing fits @_@
sian. 1 more day till school starts. urgh! feel as though i didn't even get any rest this whole holidays. probably because i was busy with work and being ill. hai. got back from our secret rendezvous. well, frankly speaking i guess we both had mixed feelings about coming home. in a way, coming home meant that school was going to start liao. in another, it was finally the end of a rather 'sway' trip. kind of lazy to go into the details of what happened but well, let's just say it was more of a test than a trip. it was a test for us as well as a test for christ-like qualities. jeez. i'd say we both did alright for the test but really, i have half the mind to totally not want to go there ever again. already sent the letter of complaint. hope they at least have the decency to look at it and respond. looking on the brighter side, there were more pleasant experiences. celebrated our 16th month anniversary there. food at the chinese restaurants were good =) spent quite an awful lot of time at the expensive "arcade", had fun though. wahahahaha!
mm. am rather lazy to continue blogging. shyt. school hasn't even started and i'm feeling slothful already. am feeling terribly broke atm. much of my cash is pretty much stuck in rm. darn. and given our timetables for the new semester plus other commitments, i foresee us being super duper busy. sigh. just thinking about it gets me down.
okay. time for some random pictures!
Our visit to Angus Steak House (Taka 4th floor)

Waraku@Central - treat from baby~
Ah bu's set (My fav lor) - Katsu+potato salad+soba+rice
Usually i'd order the set that ah bu ordered. today i decided to change. whoa. this set oso quite nice wor! Salmon sashimi+tempura+paper steamboat+rice. Both of us ate till we were so stuffed @_@ too much food gave us both headache+food high.
oh. speaking of random. i just ran into pammie on 2 consecutive days - friday and saturday (today). so qiao lor! somemore both was during around dinner time. friday she saw me at orchard while i was roaming ard with cheeseng. and today, i saw her while me and love were waiting outside waraku@central. the even more qiao thing was shortly after we met, love said that they (pam & her friends) confirm will get placed to sit right next to us. true enough, we all ended up sitting very near each other. LOL! so funny la!
Side note: Am waiting to go to Grill-out at Sunset way!
i'd be heading for my much awaited getaway! hehe ^_^ secret rendezvous, so i cannot say much :x lol~ got lots of things on my mind right now, though i'm supposed to be heading to bed. shall try to summarise everything b4 i go dreamland.
service today. haha~ why haha? cos once again i can't help smiling at the familiar 'cannot be just a coincidence' situation. before i reached church, i was kind of thinking about what message God would give to me (thru pastor of course) on the start of the new year. when i got to church, vincent (love's cg leader) was at the door (he normally isn't) and greeted both of us with a warm handshake and welcome. we found our seats. the service was packed. we found our seats. there was an empty seat beside me and i thought no one so i left my bag there. then later one of the ushers said someone needed the seat. so okay, take my bag away. someone came to sit down beside me, and it was none other than gan ann. (she's love and chun's 2 yr jc classmate, also in the same cg as love & chun.) sermon was about God's vision for the church. 4 core values - CARE. 1) Care grps to share God's grace. 2) Authority based on God's word. 3) Reach out with God's love. 4) Edify to build up God's people. okay, i must say i was rather alert when pastor mentioned the first core value. i guess alert is understatement; it was more like "oh man..." with a tinge of guilt that i had tried hard not to portray. maybe no one will be reminded or say anything. BUT then ah, i couldn't 'escape' it. lol. cos before long, gan ann asked me go for cg this friday. okay. i didn't answer her. didn't know how to answer. cos was too stunned to react properly. then later when the service was over, love and i walked to the gate of church. then love suddenly chuckled and said "haha~ i think God's telling u to go cg liao." i was taken aback but i understood what he was driving at, so i answered "becos of sermon?" then he said "yah, and also, who was at the door when u arrived? none other than...vincent! and who sat beside u and asked u to go cg? gan ann!" lol. okay. i admit it's alittle hard to say that they're coincidences. but aiyo. i really cant get past the feeling scared of going cg. >_<
next person on my mind. xuan jie. dear friend, please take care okay! dun think so much~
msged xiaoyun just now cos i kaypo and sensed wedding bells ringing. it's quite common now le. not young liao T_T anyway, tell me why i'm not surprised when she said must settle flat first, marriage can come later. hai. so freaking ex to settle the flat. can die leh! gah.
mommy dearest has been encouraging me to take a part-time course of interest after i grad from uni. at this point of time i really can't think of any course off hand. computing? nah. biz? maybe. acc? no way. but i do feel like helping out at something. possibly in ministry? but i feel im far too immature (spiritually) to serve in ministry. nvm. get past the barrier for cg first :X
alright la. i really think i shld stop here. typing any further would dampen my spirits. CANNOT! after all today is a good day (so was sunday!). woot! go koon liao. prepare for tml's trip! see u in 4 days time. muacks~ dunch miss me!
okay. i think i really should be sleeping instead of blogging, 'cause i have a busy day ahead tomorrow! (going out with love and meeting the girls for dinner. and now suddenly got sec sch gathering! i wanna go both! =[ ) hee! but i really really need to pen this down, lest i get lazy and decide not to and then my memory fails me and then i can't remember and then history repeat itself. blah blah blah.
continuing from my previous entry. i really typed that in the fit of anger. yes, i know i'm supposed to be quick to listen, slow to anger. but frankly speaking, it's way easier said than done. hai. and i'm starting to think that i should really filter what i type. exercise more responsibility in what i put up here and also consider the feelings of people who read this space. however, it would then defeat the whole purpose of this space in the first place. argh! dilemma~ still, it doesn't change the fact that the previous entry as well as my actions on new year's eve broke a certain special someone's heart. i'm so sorry baby >_<
Blinded by anger, disregarded others' feelings, failure to see things from another perspective and ended up doing something spiteful. =(
2 main qualities of children of God - giving and forgiving. sadly, both were nowhere to be found.
nevertheless, thank you for being so patient and understanding and thank God for His mercy and grace once again.
Did i mention that me and love walked from vivocity to west coast mcdonalds? lol. yep. WALKED. started walking from 2+am and made our way to west coast mcdonalds. reached mac at abt 5am. we really took our time to talk, sort out the upsetting issues, and walk. legs sour like dunno wad and very veyr sleepy. love send me home at abt 6.30+am then he went home.
guess im not really inclined to write anymore about what happened exactly. i shall just let the actions do the talking. need to settle bidding of electives soon, so that i can enjoy my getaway in peace! can't wait!
