i've never been more happy to see people burning hell notes and lighting up joss sticks. this marks the "closing ceremony" of 7th month = one day closer to collecting my fit!never thought i'd be that superstitious but well, better to believe it than regret later.

received my long awaited package from the US. damn proud of the massive savings i made for this roxy jacket (come on, oooh and ahhh with me..orig price USD70 after sale USD32!plus shipping and all S$40 +!!! how can you ever find roxy sherpa hoodie for that price?? guess the ang mos can't fit into XS..muahaha) bought it from swell.com which carries assorted surf brands. anyways, i'm very sure i've more jackets than my brother in aust so this shall be my last (for this year). besides, it's been raining non stop these few days= plummeting air con temperatures = good enough justification. =3 last thurs, my tutee's grandfather handed me a plastic bag of cooked flower crabs. at first i was dubious of it like would it be "clean" enough or whr's its source etc. don't blame me for being ungrateful, i'm just being paranoid cos i just recovered and my friends being having LS, so i was being on my guard. anyways i got convinced that it was clean, very fresh and meaty so the 3 women in my house have been trying to finish the crabs. i've had it for yest's dinner, today's lunch and i'm sure it would appear in my next meal tmr. hai so many crabs la! doubt i'll be craving for it anytime soon after this crabby feast.

btw so not looking forward to being at novena at 7am tmr. IRAS charity walk. what in the world was i thinking when i agreed to go. hate waking up early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!

the longest nail

BT hill damn steep and muddy la.. this isn't the steep part at all!

the place to show your grudge and conceal evidence (body)

that's our guide who looks like one of us

thursday plant bio lab was held at bukit timah reserve! one of the most boring places to be... it's been long since we've had a field/excursion trip hence the first thing i thought of was.......JUnK FOOd!!! loaded u on it before embarking on our journey. having da bai cai (big white cabbage) and geraldine (aka jolin wannabe) in our group was really amusing. read june's blog for a more comprehensive breakdown of what happened during the trek. hah..lazy to type...i shall provide the pictures instead. hehe..

school's been busy, trying to "ketchup" after falling sick. trying to be on par so that it won't be so hard to after europe. i really hate the pace, was just thinking of what ad said when my tp friends asked her about our study pace and workload. she mentioned that it was 3 times faster than tp's. coming from a jc and hating it.. all i can say is i have no comments, it's about there la..and having all 830 classes really drains the hell out of me.

anticipating...

countdown to paris!!

on the road to recovery!!

never felt so ALIVE!!

been "hibernating" since thurs night.

good thing i went to see doc yest..

falling sick's so miserable n a waste of time.

i slept soooo much till i couldn't even sleep last night, neither did i cat nap today. and the cold weather didn't even tempt me..

medicine works wonders man.

i'm like a fully charged triple A battery.

lost a bit of weight though i doubt there's any diff since i'm already skinny.

hai, just skyped with my brother. all of a sudden i wished he was back in spore. he came down with fever and cough too but there's no one to care for him there. i totally get what he's feeling. at least i've my mum n maid to care for me. deliver manuka honey, juices and oats to me. heard that in order to see the doctor there u gotta make an appointment. no walk ins. then he's staying in the suburban and no car which makes going out to get food and medicine even more of a chore when you're sick. hai, heng he brought panadol from home. he told us about his racism encounters with the bus driver (which made him write in to the local papers) and said it's hard to make friends with the ang mos there. so he hangs out with singaporeans. most singaporeans enter uni in jan unlike him in june and his singaporean friends are from diff courses hence he gets lil help with his work. so he said he's gonna make friends with some "loner" aussie, in order to ask for help. he says talking to ang mos is very tiring, because they don't understand our accent and what we're saying. i think i would just die over there, as a mute. hah.. then he says the ang mos hang out in cliques. hmmm, sounds so familiar. was wondering don't most singaporean students and i discreetly treat foreign students that way? we kinda ostracize the china chinese, indos etc too don't we? but it's wierd to open up and be friendly to them for no apparent reason right. i wonder how does that new ang mo exchange guy feels. he seems rather funny. while lining up to collect lab equipment, i heard him say to his fellow group mates who were already in the front of the queue, that he'll just stand aside and be useless. i guess that's because once lab briefing's over and it's time to start, singaporeans and other nationalities chiong to the front to get gloves and equipment. so naturally the ang mo feels a tad bit slow? hearing his reaction was funny..

lost the battle and went to see doc for mc and med. been sleeping for 2 days man. feel much better now. :) btw new doc, think he's a part timer. young and good looking for a doc! but darn i looked absolutely shitty, no eyeliner, bulbous nose and swollen lips. thank goodness i didn't go school, look damn hideous. heh

didn't manage to go school today.

temp keeps creeping up.

never slept so much ever.

as if i've been a semi comatose state since 930 last night.

time passes so slowly.

was wondering isit because i said sth wrong at huayang?

i said i didnt care about the 7th mth thingy, just handover the car asap.

then i came home sick

hmm..superstitious or imaginative?

need to get well asap!

sept 13's drawing near.

it's freezing.can't believe im sucha gu niang. stayed out till 4 this morning and had classes at 830, and i'm sick. body aches, cough and fever! the last time i fell sick really badly was 3-4 yrs ago and i banished it very strong dose of antibiotics. 5 bucks a tablet. complete 6 and u're well. so this strain must be a powderful one. :( cmi la, must be old age that coincided with low immunity hence germ attack! so vulnerable. better try to sleep early tonight. another early morning class tmr. time to whack my manuka honey, vit c and fruit juices !

met rish last nite cos he's flying back to US and don't know when he'll be back again. hence met somewhr near for all of us and that's 24 hours. no other than geylang east macs. full of kuku ppl. damn creepy. there was this fellow walking around like a zombie holding a beer bottle. and he was sooo close to us i was afraid he might go loose. most scary one ive seen so far. then saw zac on his way home, so he came to join us. (btw geylang east macs is whr u'll see bartley ppl, and it's been a long time since ive gone thr.) sam and zhi couldnt make it last min , further more too late. think the last time i had a proper conversation with rish was like..erm..secondary sch? not sure too. though we both went to the same jc, but we were in diff classes. he's gone through so much, and i'm glad he's out of it now. STAY STRONG DUDE! zac's still the same. huge as ever.(fitness first trainer and COLLAGE owner) we used to call him gorilla or sth, cos he reminded us of kipling monkey which we were so fond of last time. that fellow's another comedian la.

didn't go for cancer lec so used the 5 hr break to nap and go down to the car showroom. decided on my leather seat colour and sport rims. not really sure of what to get but i chose black seats with red stitching and some 14'' gun polish metal rims. not that many choices actually and all so so. guess what. my dear agent forgot to get me to fill up some bank forms so this is gonna take time to process! arghhh.. newbie= nobbie!

then went to obolo to get some cakes since it's dad's bday today and he won't be coming home. we celebrated his bday in advance at jumbo that wk end. met mac woo, owner of the shop who recommended me his cakes and i also bought his recipe book. "CRAVE, cheese desserts to die for". sounds good right. it is actually. the pictures make you drool! my partner borrowed his book from the library before and the nutella cheesecake we baked was one of his recipes. gonna finish off my blueberry cheesecake deco, which i baked last night and hopefully it'll taste alright! trial and error la

saw my "first love colour" outside dad's shop. dammit.. purplish black's so nice!

yay..the countdown begins, though i'm not exactly sure of how long to countdown to. (~a week)

definately not gonna miss taking public transport, except for the fact that i'm "chauffeured" and i don't need to pay erp/parking. took train to school today for the first time in 3 weeks. guess what greeted me at boon lay? no other than the legendary looooong queue for 179. the queue was probably 200 m long? the start of the queue was ironically at the far/opposite end of the interchange where we alight from the bus. hai..

another pet peeve about taking public,besides the jostling and bad odour is when geniuses like to smoke IN FRONT/BEHIND of the bus stop, out of the shelter but close by. and so when the wind blows in the direction of the bus stop, isn't it back to square one? another thing, some geniuses don't stub out their cigs properly so much so the dustbin at the bus stop becomes like a chimney or rather "the dustbin smoking" which is really damn dumb. then again wind blows and ppl at bus stop have to breathe in second hand smoke. argh. soon i'll kiss goodbye to all these nonsense.

recently while waiting for bus with my friend, the guy she was sitting next to started to pick his nose! omgosh, we had to discreetly shift our butts to the opposite end of the bench to siam his "old gold". the other time, another old man who was sitting perpendicular to me was blatantly digging and digging while looking at me. tmd. he think he filming national geographic or what. free show for all. sorry to add on but also to justify why am i so neurotic about touching mrt/bus handles/toilet doors/railings etc and why i wash my hands a gazillion times is because imagine those diggers touching the handles etc and YOU TOUCH IT. what's worst when they finish their biz in the toilets and don't wash their hands. euw. purlease don't think i'm making a mountain our of a molehill. i've observed that many gals don't wash their hands in the toilet and they open the toilet door with DIRTY HANDS! okay..hmm.. i think i shall stop here. but just know that i'm capable of going on and on about the chain reaction of how dirty anything in public is. :)

anyways trudged all the way to the west just for an hour of lab and a hearty mac D breakfast. was quite fascinating and at the same time disgusting to look at the c elegans (mutated ones too). btw xiao ming did us proud! his clan size is humongous, very fertile indeed.

--narcissist --

another dark and gloomy day...tmr's coe bid day too..mum's gonna book paris tickets.. crossing fingers and hoping very hard that there's seat for me!!!the anticipation is killing me!!!

suaaaaay ah..had a feeling i would see someone.

anyways, my PI called this afternoon to say side mirror indicators for the new fit model not in spore yet so can't install. he gave me 3 options, though none beats my indicators. :(

fog light (what the hell)
spoiler (tempting)
solar film and window visors (most practical)

so i chose no 3 very reluctantly. he asked me to "ni rang wo rang yi pu (give in)" and not to press him for it but what the heck he was the one who promised me and back fired on his words. my indicators were the ONLY freebie i asked for ok. and it was his mistake for not checking if it can be fitted onto the G model. moreover i said i can be very unreasonable and demand an upgrade to a GF model(which comes with indicators etc and top up 2k) just so i get my indicators which were written in black and white. i said i was very disappointed with the shop. don't turn around and point fingers at me for pressing you. it was a mistake on his part, not about me giving in lo. he's so stingy, we even topped up 1k for my dvd touch screen and gps. i totally flared man and bombarded him with smses. so as part of the compensation i asked for reverse camera on top of no 3. he finally agreed after i let the steam out. come on~ if i knew he couldnt give me indicators i would have searched for another PI, moreover it was only the first shop we arrived at Automobile center. yesterday my mum finally had some time to help me speak to him. said if he doesn't give me indicators i would write to papers (which was bulls). hah.. maybe that's why he felt the pressure. but she managed to bargain for the dvd cum gps.

he really gives me a fit along with my fit man. anyway deal closed. hope this is it, just need to choose my seats n rims and viola(urgh)!

oh ya, how can my own mother dare suggest i join SDU??? wat the heck, just cos some pudgy "pretty" gal she knows get suitors doesn't mean i need to join SDU ok!

irritating brother had to whine nonstop like a broken record. he wants to fly to bkk with his fren for a WEEK and do stupide shit like shooting ranges, atv, hang out at "lounges", buy BB gun etc

" it only costs $50 sing after which i'll throw it away and of cos i won't bring it home"
"i want to fly SIA cos budget not safe and give me 1k for the trip"(hello i'm here alive!)
"how come jie can go with her fren,2 gals only and kor can go at my age?"(duh, i'm 24!he's 17!)

omgosh. wait till u hear the entire thing. makes u feel like vomiting blood. talks like a brat. talks as if so mature but behaves like a child.dunno how my mother can take it. since last nite's dinner he has been going on n on n on. ppl eating near us might think it's a arguement the way he spoke to my parents.

that's why i so need sound proof walls. and no surprises it continued all the way till today noontill my mum lost it and threw a box of candles. not knowing it was encased in glass. missed him and shattered the picture frames on the wall.

our family photo has literally become a "conversational piece"

count. there are seven here. out of the twelve.

my sweeeet piper!!!!i wanna kidnap him!

ponned friday's class to go bask. only managed to "grill" the front but back needs much work. she changed nationality (sporean to thai) in a few hours while i'm a only a TAD bit darker (sporean to msian?) . sigh~ so the moment i heard there were no lessons on saturday, i jumped for joy (literally, was on my way home to slp early when i got the news at 11pm). so decided to sleepover at her place and continue "baking" (ourselves) on sat. i just knew it. it had to rain today. gosh, is it god's way of telling me i'm gonna get skin cancer???so i just slept in and went for dad's bday dinner at jumbo seafood. it's been a long time since i had lobster,prawns and chilli crabs and mantou!! yums..

after suntanning yest, we went over to his place cos she needed to medicate pebble. 12 cats to be exact. omgosh. i felt like my 2 hands were insufficient. i was transformed to feline haven instantly. anyone with asthma would have died there. i couldn't even remember all their names except piper, he was my fave. super duper cute male cat (above). he not only had the looks, looooong tail, soft fur but also a very sweet and adorable character! he would let you cuddle him in any way or just do anything to him! soooooo damn cute! i want to bring him home!!! well this makes up for my bailey's animosity towards me. bailey's the biggest brat ever, and sad to say he's molly's and tobby's brother. as everyone says, he's the spawn of the devil. muahahahaha!

and for the first time ever, after many years of being her chauffeur, she finally drove me around. hahaha.. amazing that i'm still here blogging. heh. we took his week old honda crv out since he was out of town. and my goodness, all the lian-ness in her came out instantly once she was in the driver's seat. i swear i needed ear plugs badly! went to ecp to have local delights. chomped down all the sinful food like satay, chao guo tiao, carrot cake (been craving), dessert and chicken wings. the ecp chicken wings are to die for. ever since i tried it, i don't eat it anywhere else. only ah hwee's bbq chic wings are the best. it wins hands down. :D try it!

darn forgot to bring camera so this was all i took using out almost-no-memory-space hps.

whale and plankton happily together with chui faces at 10am

vor-guuue galore

another sleepy day. that's becos this week's school started at 830 for 4/5 day and the last day starts at 930am. which isn't of any consolation, because it's a saturday.having to go back to school on a FREAKING SATURDAY is like a torn in my schedule. no short trips or plans anymore. and next week it's 5 days 830 and 6th day 930. SIANISM TO THE MAX!! argh~

currently at adm library nua-ing. another 5 hour break. hutt just finished blogging now it's my turn. but i'm really hungry so gonna eat oily greasy chicken cutlet at hall 2. to b continued...

yesterday's practical was interesting. i caught a few Him -8 c elegans and my first victim (after many unsuccessful tries cos they were playing catching with me!) was named xiao ming though i think it might be a hemaphrodite aka female. at first i had really poor eye and hand coordination. and the others were saying they should have filmed me trying to catch my victim. i think i was narrating too much. like talking to the microscope. but it wasn't easy at first. after all we had to view through the compound microscope and try to lure it to with bacteria "food" coated onto the filter paper, so as to sub culture it or rather move house for xiao ming. for those who know how a filter paper looks like.. it's big and thin, "zhor deng" hence i used quite a bit of force and ended up scraping the agar. my dear miss j treated it like a warfare. many c elegans were murdered by her. hahahha. btw the worms were 1mm and transparent so we could observe the anatomy and sex. i swear it was quite straining to do all of that under the microscope.

anyways if only we could handle larger sized creatures. just like in tp. my very first one was the fish. next was mice, and we got really excited at first. however they were so damn aggressive that even my classmates who had 2 gloves on were bitten through. so naturally i was very afraid of restraining them. when i finally did so and it was time to inject them, i cried. omgosh. i think it partially cause i couldnt bring myself to pierce them with the syringe and i was one of the last few in class to do so, hence added on stress. hah..i feel quite silly looking back then. next up was rats, they smelled of pee but were oh-so-cute! some of us really wanted to sneak them out and not put them to sleep after our experiment. so we thought of various ways like stuffing it into out labcoat pockets or the empty paper wipes box etc. sad to say mission failed. there was a body count. hai.. but i'll rem my rat, forgot his name though. he was so gentle and submissive. no biting too!

usually 2 to 1 animal. for the mice and rats we had to inject/draw blood through the various route of entries. i remembered taking blood from the cardiac route as a last resort after they were knocked out. and the most gross of all was using a capillary tube to insert to their eyeballs to retrieve blood. we had to twist and twist the tube into the corner of the eye till we hit the vessel. damn cruel la, imagine if it was your eye. hur. the finale was OD-ing it with anaesthesia then slice it open to study the organs then throw away.

last victim was the rabbit. poor rabbits ( 2 for entire class). think they were traumatized after everyone of us got a chance to learn how to restrain them. ( it includes turning them upside down and holding it's head in btw your thighs so that we can inject saline into the peritoneal. imagine each rabbit being tossed upside down ~20 times? lol..good game man) heard that after we graduated, the new batches even got cat and dog carcasses. sigh.. if only we had them too. lab sessions then were so much fun!

hmm, i just found out sth. just had my 2nd lesson today. found out that he's autistic. probably mild or sth. no wonder i was thinking how come primary one still can't add/ subtract. during my first lesson with him, he was well behaved and ok. today's like i wanna vomit blood. well, guess he showed his true colours. hah. constantly on the move and distracted and even 2-2 also can't solve. omgosh. this is my first time giving tuition. i should i continue or give up???

wanna hit the sack early. supposed to have self-declared-off tmr but stupide peter cheung had to bring forward thurs lab which means wed thurs fri sat all have school, including today.

-had 5 hours break (1030-330). managed to meet up with my anonymous buyer for my MVA textbook. *ka-ching

-met up with xiong qiang aka my sista. always very happy to crap with him. but sometimes i wish i don't find out about certain things. he's from tp and we only bonded after being posted to AVA for attachment. i think he's the only guy i can talk to and who would understand what never-full, CDG (comme des garcon his fave) etc means. he's selling lab equipments to my sch so comes weekly and that only means more bitching with him! maybe i'll consider joining his company. he says i should join bio rad or invitrogen because the gals there carry gucci/LV bags. hahahah. he's my materialistic "other-half".

-hanged around in library to photostat notes and zzz for me.

-checked out the ntu bazaar. dunno if i should join cca not.

-saw a very dark purple fit at iras carpark! i think i might wanna change from red to that. unique colour. looks like LV vernis amarante! argh!! decisions!!in need of opinions!!!

right..as expected X couldn't get up in time to accompany me to our first yoga class. so i went ahead. it was at 10am and honestly if not for the fact that i had family breakfast i would be lazy too. hate to go alone but what the heck, i don't think i need someone to talk to during class rite. ever since we signed up, i think last nov or sth, we've barely stepped foot into california fitness. like use one hand to count also more than enough. so far we made an attempt to join some body combat class, but the moment we stepped in, we laughed non stop so we excused ourselves. (trust me, when you see people punching air and moving in sync with the hip hop beats you'll definately crack up) and the other rare times in the gym was for personal training sessions. (it's long overdued but he's my mum's trainer so he's ok) so i thought, just go ahead since i really missed ashtanga yoga.

hmmm..class was okay, fast paced as usual and vigorous. didn't have to wait till tmr to start aching. felt so drained after the 2 hour class, i cancelled my shopping trip. all i felt like doing was lying in bed and not moving. ashtanga always makes me feel giddy, perhaps cos their poses require you to bend over and look down etc.

the last time i had ashtanga was like 4 years ago or sth. with liyi,irene,esther and my partner. that was one hell of a work out man. i felt really detoxed after sweating it out. it was one of those nondescript yoga places, held in the second level of a chinatown shophouse. i really missed those days. i liked the personal interaction we had with out abc instructor ( pretty too!). unlike cali's.. (they don't correct your mistakes) hai, too bad they closed down cos of financial strains i think. heard she joined those mass yoga companies like pure yoga. today's lesson was taught by mazie, not local i think cos i didn't understand what she was saying.

i also recalled last time was so xiong, some of my friends wanted to faint. i felt dizzy also, and once i excused myself halfway from class cos i was about to shiver. sudden hunger pang/low glucose. luckily i had my granola bars with me that day.there was this other time i was so famished after class, i wolfed down an entire packet of mei zheng xiang bacon strips right after class. felt so damn good la.. after all i just detoxed what.

anyway, yoga really improves flexibility. i used to get ~28/30 points for my 10 years of napfa tests. i would get full marks for all stations except my sit and reach. 3 points only. after learning yoga, i managed to hit 4 points, but still no full marks. and after EVERY SINGLE YOGA CLASS, we would ache like mad the next day. it's even more powderful than pt sessions i must say. hmmm..i'll try to make it a point to go for every sun's lesson to flex out my stiffened-ed-ed bones :)

2006 NDP

2007 NDP

i was out of my mind to agree to meet mum at raffles city. she asked me to drive but i felt sick of driving cos of yesterday. so i told her to park her car at office then she take train while i take a direct bus to city hall. smart thinking i thought. not so. as expected road blocks. and suay suay kanna. had to walk 2 bus stops in the wrong footwear. fine. blisters now. nvm. the jostle to get on the bus was horrendous. i was thinking, pls don't touch me! and omgosh, gotta sanitize left hand. i swear 98% of the people on bus 100 were non singaporeans. it's like foreign worker out in full force. through my ipod, i can still hear the "rRRrRrr bahlabunglarrraruaoorrr (tamil or watever)" in the background. thank goodness the smell of the usual cigarettes and cheap beer was at bay, maybe too early for that yet. i really can't stand bus 65 too. it reeeeks of bad body odour, sweat,thai beer, cigarettes, not-properly-dried-clothes, whatever that is unpleasant. btw it passes by lil india/sgoon area too.

and so i thought okay sacrifice a bit to get joe's urn (robinsons 20% storewide) and maybe my hp since this the only time mum has. right~joe's urn unavailable at raffles city (i saw it at centerpt though) and my hp shop was closed. the dress she wanted to get at EQ:IQ didn't get my stamp of approval too. too tacky. so we only got some household stuff and that's all. then, we joined the mad crowd to get into city hall mrt. OMGOSH.. i almost died from lack of oxygen. i felt so sick, so germy.. so many police marshals around trying to regulate the flow. haiz.. what an absolute waste of time. could have done something on my list instead of going out. i tink public holidays should be celebrated by staying indoors for singaporeans and let the foreigners out. well, at least i tried o-chacha cafe today! they sell all things green tea.

then another suay news. my PI called to say can't install side mirror indicators, which he agreed and wrote down in black and white for me that it'll come with the fit g model though it doesn't usually. only the gf model has (top up 2k comes with privacy glass, retractable mirrors, side mirror indicator and adjustable seat height which i think is all redundant except for my indicators). and that's like the only freebie i asked for, besides the standard leather seats and sports rims. i don't even want the solar film cos mum wants to get proper 3m ones or at least good quality ones. so i told him he didn't fulfill his promise to me, and i'm very disappointed.(emotional blackmail?) becos i wanted at least side mirror indicators, or smart key and control panel on steering wheel (both don't come with fit), or gps. i didn't even ask for the usual freebie that's offered by other PIs like touch screen dvd and reverse camera. all i want most importantly is my side mirror indicators and gps. since gps was out of question he promised to give me the former. hai..so i tried to be firm and told him, it's either you give me gf model so i get my indicators or you replace it with touch screen dvd and reverse camera. hmmm.. he said he'll get back to me. btw, he also said there won't be any rebate when the coe drops, neither will there be any top ups. is this the norm?

oh yeah, don't know if i should go on and bore you with my unlucky day yesterday. but just one thing. i should have used my brains to think, friday noon= mosque = damn very high chance of being fined. as you know i don't need to say the obvious. hehe. and stupide me totally forgot to put parking ticket when i went to ta bao pizza. i guess this is the most expensive pizza i've had. such a bummer :(

they say 08.08.08 is prosperous day. but i beg to differ. definately not my day on the highway. horned a trillion times. lost a million times. fined. stupid parkings and erps. glad to be alive now after a day of reckless driving. just not my day. lousy weather and foiled plans. elaborate ltr, too tired to do so now. nites ya all!

decided to skip cancer bio lecture today. read through the notes and felt it was rather lame. he associated most of the basic theory with various song lyrics, and he even quoted the lyrics and artists in the slides. so well, spent my day "getting acquainted with fall/winter collection". in other words, shopping. heh. very happy with my haul. but i did something really stupid. i bought the wrong pair of skinnies. i even asked the salesgal to call up the other outlets to see is they have a size zero for the wrong pair. and all this while i was holding onto the skinnies but i didn't pay attention to it. i was distracted and only checked my other 2 items . oh well, gotta make another trip down to zara. hope they still have my size two, better than nothing man. argh. how dumb can i get.

anyways, so so loving the new fall/ winter collection at zara! how i wish we could have winter then i can buy all the coats and boots. hah.. it rained just now. and it's surprisingly very chilly tonight, considering how humid it was this afternoon that made me feel as if i was on heat. since singapore has no 4 seasons, i couldn't get any coats. instead i used the excuse that lecture theaters are frrrrreeezing to buy 3 more jackets. muahahaha.... power of the mind.. so happy to be "in biz" with zara again. was in hiatus for damn long and finally this is our season. love the greys, blacks, purples and other dull hues. and we were saying if only they had memberships, we would have one each eon ago. hai. too bad they don't.

oohh..we also decided to have dinner early so as to rest our feetx and backs at the same time. age catching up la. and we didn't have a hard time deciding on what to eat this time. it was her favourite mushroom mince meat noodles and my beef noodles without beef at ding tai fung. yes. i know. it's like chicken rice without chicken. but seriously i can't swallow that reddish meat with TENDON SOMEMORE. absolutely no. but this time i made an effort to eat half or less of a piece. hehe.. and then guess what, next door table girl kept looking over at me. argh.. i hate it when people have to look over. when will she be done checking me out? i got annoyed and shot her a glance. finally. think she got the message that i have eyes too. hahaha. maybe she was wondering whether i eat or not. i mean i can understand the guy she was eating with wasn't too pleasing on the eye, hence she preferred to look at me. muahaha.. so mean~

on the most recent trip to ikea. i walked past 2 female teens and my friend who was behind me heard them saying stuff about me and staring at me. hah. so she told me to turn around and look at them because honestly i didn't hear anything watsoever. so we decided to bully them abit. we both started pointing at them. like she'll go pointing "eh that's the girl over there, in pink" and then i go pointing at them" oh that one over there?" heheh.. how childish, but seriously they didn't dare look over and moved off. i mean seriously, if you wanna say sth, watch out for people behind who might be related to the person u're talking about. this isn't the first time that has happened to me. many times in school, we walked as a group, so some in front some at the back. then my friends would tell me people's comments about me. but i'm like okay.. i mean if i were to see someone as stick like as me, i guess i would be shocked to. but try to do it discreetly lo. so anyway back to those lil girls, quite understandable why they had to comment. maybe they were thinking how much more dieting they would have to do to be my size. muahahaa... all the lian-ness out. :P

in conclusion. i hate people who stare. learnt to be more discreet if not don't at all. and especially ah peks. omgosh. the least discreet/ discreet-less people around. dig their eyeballs out then they know! hmph!

omgosh..im bored out of my mind. i've decided i will give tuition a try! any lobangs for primary school kids or agencies to hook me up? and don't worry i won't be painting my nails during tuition. chinese and english are out. so math or science?

btw why is it so difficult to get philadelphia cheese nowadays?is everyone baking and stocking up on their cheese? some cold storages don't seem to carry it at all or is it just sold out.

oh yay coe dropped from 14101 to 12501. but i bet it'll go up again for the next bid.. doesn't really matter to me anyways.. just like to keep track of figures..heh

i'm thinking of changing my hp to samsung f480 but i doubt it has gps. maybe omnia? but not too keen on the size and brand. htc diamond? looks good but camera and battery sux. both have gps, but are bit steep too. hai..too few options. i need gps badly!

finally, long weekend is here! no school from wed to next tues! (thurs = self declared off) but then i'll have school on saturdays next week on. darn~

bored.hungry.bored.hungry.bored.hungry.bored.hungry.bored.hungry............

time to scour for food~ my rat instincts are out.

tonight's supper is heinz tuna and tomato sauce with double cheddar sandwich and i heated up the left over campbell's chicken soup. this is my defination of cooking. my speciality is burnt toast. i mean i think it has sth to do with the toaster. 9 out of 10 times i have to scrap away burnt edges and no exception for tonight. or perhaps because i can't stand still by the toaster to keep watch, i just have to multi task sth to get out of the kitchen asap. like just now, the stupid ants distracted me. i swear when u kill one, their relatives come out of hiding to "rescue" or "wage a war". then it reminded me of those arcade games when u have to hit the crocadile's head when it comes out to make it retreat. yeah. just that it was with many ants, and somehow my hands couldnt move fast enough so i took out the ultimate weapon. few spritz of it and i wiped out the entire clan.

waiting for my oreo cheesecake to be baked. kinda regret baking so late cos i still have to wait for 2 hours for it to cool then refrigerate. this will be my 7th cheesecake attempt. first time trying out oreo flavor and don't YOU worry, if it's palatable i will deliver one to your doorstep. hehehe.. to reward you for being my blog's ardent fan and my IT guru all this time. anyways my previous attempts were new york cheese cake with sponge cake crust/brownie shortbread cookie crust/shortbread crust,2x strawberry cheese tarts (2nd attempt's deco was better but forgot to snap a pic) and most recently with my partner, the nutella cheesecake. actually there are many good recipes and flavors to try out. cheesecakes are rather easy to bake and quite fool proof la. hence i like it.. hur.. okies gtg check on it!

6 inch oreo cookie. phoon huat's aussie cheese sux. philadelphia cheese's still cheesier. try again!

so damn sleepy now. went to gleneagles after school for dad's oncologist appt. it isnt all good at all. who the hell can fork out 12k a month for tablets? i should have invented/patented it. school sux as usual. neuro-biology lecture was quite incomprehensible with prof Heeeeese hissing.. hurhur..no la..mumbling away at 12 noon = very drowsy period. my dear miss j was in the corner with her dead face. can't blame her for dozing off. it's hard not to. it was like an accidental chant to put us to sleep as if we needed help to after lunch.

saw a few new faces, kinda hard to recognize the "fresh" from the "stale". heh.. i like to go : " who's that? like never see before one..must be freshie " anyways i'm sure there won't be any eye candy around. hmmm... some people had drastic changes in their haircuts, styles and SIZES. omg.. i mean how much weight can u possibly put on in 3 months? goodness.. how i wish i was one of them~

some pics of my last day of freedom, aka yesterday. lured my "bangla" over with shepherd's pie, to help me paint, but ended up watching hills and going to ikea. at least i'm updated with the new 2009 collection, shopping at ikea is so much fun!!!
