Story 2:

today i had some guests in my house and my stupid dog barked the hell out of me. He was so freaking noisy and his voice was so shrill that it was impossible for me to study within that 1hr.

Undeniably a son of a bitch.

Story 3:

--warped--

On the bus, there was this lady with the maddest, phoniest, goofiest, absolutely hideously sadistically outrageously outlandish--hairstyle i've ever come across. It's as if a typhoon just ransacked her head, leaving her body unscathed.
Seriously, i can't imagine how ANYONE can ever walk out of their house with such a disastrous hairdo. If I were to have such a bad hair day everyday, i will just die. It is a whole heap of curly hair that makes me wonder if a comb, let alone a brush, has ever been through that mass of OMG...toilet scrub.
How do you even wash that...that thing?...do you even wash it? hmm...eew.
And throughout the journey it was such a huge iconic-view-blocker that i had to divert my gaze sideways occasionally just to look at the blob at the back of some Auntie's head.
Seriously, I think I will get lost in there. it's like a walking thru a pitch dark safari at night.
Then at some point in time, that hairstyle gone so so so awry got me thinking, Gosh, you can really hide a lion in there.

darn it. i can't believe i am so blur. ARGH.

I had my early dinner at 4. I opened my book to check the timetable--just in case. And SHIT. No cls today. Thank God that I hadn't stepped out of my house yet. If I had to travel an hr there and realise this mistake i wldn't forgive my dumbness. But damn it, I shld have tried to study earlier. then i wld have realised that this silly blunder earlier (and erm...spent my day watching tv...instead of getting hooked up on the net which i previously said i wld only use it for a while then study--but ended up using it the entire afternoon) BUGGER!!!!!!

Haiz...sheepishly gibberish. I am so retarded can.

a pleasant surprise

an sms at 9.52am: "****! is this your mobile? this is **. i am going to transit in changi later in the afternoon. can i give you a call to catch up?"

he called (:

it's my brother in christ from penang.
the thought of him having to go to the US to work for 5 weeks makes me miss him, even though i haven't seen him for half a year now. penang is so far, yet so near, if you know what i mean. he's been there for me during these 6 mths, keeping me company at and off work. the constant msns just somehow made my working days seem shorter and a whole lot more bearable, to some extent. thx. :)
Anyway, the telephone conversation made me happy (: I don't know why, seriously.
perhaps it was because i hadn't spoken to him for abt a mth now.

btw, exercise makes people FAT. it's an excruciatingly official fact. i decided to go for a walk with my mum to do grocery shopping. ended up buying more junk food. and i have since been pigging non-stop.

some days you just feel like...

Just came home from a meal at marche with my parents. returned to my old territory where apparently i was the guide. of course they knew their way ard suntec, but who was the one who knew the shortcuts? who was the one who knew where the good food were? who was the one...ah...nvm =P

weekends at marche cost a bomb by the way, with those crappy promotions of having to spend minimums at the marketplace. nevertheless, it was good experience. Then we went to carrefour to shop...with my shortcut of course and i bought a piece of reALLy good banana choc cake from secret recipe (my birthday cake!) I insisted that my parents HAD to try it so i bought a piece and shipped it all the way home. Still intact, thankfully. mark my words, its good :) despite my dad's disapproval to eat that cake because he was so full from the huge chicken thigh dinner and waffle, i made them try it. well, at least i asked him to, whether it ate it or not, it's another story. my mum loved it though. As for myself, i still love my marche food, the ham and cheese crepe and my waffle ice-cream. mum had 1, i had 1. was extremely appetizing, plus the fact that i was starving from used brain cells during that 3hr lect, i gobbled like a friggin' turkey, only to emerge super full, but satisfied that we managed to beat the crowd and had our sumptuous dinner. the cost...well...my mum said "it's good to treat yourself and be nice."
Oops. Oh well.

those familiar restaurants, a mth and it seems like everything there is in it's rightful place. that neon promotion sign is finally up and muthu's curry has finally refurnished to a seemingly decent restaurant. hehe. Oh, i saw the cute chicken rice guy, who apparently was still selling chicken rice on a saturday. hehee... (: i showed my mum that koi garden with er...very plump and succulent kois. She was surprised to see fishes as FAT and JUICY as those but yeah...amazing stuff to see my old 'lunch bench' :) that is being occupied by stupid rowdy kids on a saturday night.

Aiy aiy. why does it rain at 1am every night? ?? nice to sleep in though...=P

I was reading the online zaobao when i came across an article abt the taiwan tvb station being haunted. hehe. I am really chicken-hearted. i read halfway and daren't finish reading. (it's 1am lah...) shall read it in the day or sth. here's the article, if you're interested but it's in mandarin those. those are the celebrities who were spooked -_-"

I realised that i spend at least an 1hr waiting for crappy buses everyday. how annoying. then it's 2 hrs of my time on the roads each day. Do you know how many freaking hours for my life that is? ARGH. Then you have the ever so horrible bus drivers who crawl at a snail's pace waiting to give way to inconsiderate motorists on the road just because they happen to come from the right forked side of the roads before they merge. ARGH. Today I was 'chasing' my bus in another bus. And believe me, with drivers manipulating buses like the one i was in, i was just short of vomitting blood. after 6 bus-stops...and the driver still cldn't catch the bus just 2 buses in front. The 3 buses stop at the same stops but the 1st 2 always manages to sneak off before my bus. And THAT's because, there are always pple in the buses (like the one i was in) who get on my nerves when they stop at every and i mean EVERY single bus-stop when on normal days, you just wonder where on earth do these irritating pple dwell, because the bus doesn't stop at these stops on normal days...Only the day when you are in a hurry. Perhaps if they didn't stop, chances are, i cld still board that bus in front at the next stop.
Anyway...Sometimes occurrances like these just make you feel that even UK Shyam's sprinting is covering the same length of road much faster than my stupid bus. Oh So in the end, i took another bus and changed at another stop since I knew i wld never be able to catch up with the bus in front (supposedly my direct bus) at this rate.
And the bus i took was a non-airconed one -_-" NVM. REN3. THIS BUS has an even More interesting story of it's own. It was such a shabbily ancient bus that when it went over the rough humps on the streets, it just made me feel like I am using a FREE rendition of Osim U-ZAP (yeah, you know that famous advert everywhere on uzap...zap zap tummy zap zap thigh...zap zap whatever...) Yup, the bus was basically a massive vibrator as i feel my fats just being wobbled involuntary to the bus' rhythms........................

My little ole' snake tale:
Today i discovered a snake (or so i believed it was) in the field beyond my backyard. I was the kitchen when i peered out of the window to find what looked like a brown stick. I scrutinized for a few seconds to assert my find (it appeared to be a weird stick). i was pretty sure it was a rather long, black grass snake, for
Number 1: if it were a branch, it wld at least be stationary, instead of slithering away within a split second right?
Number 2: there were a couple of birds surrounding it, probably anticipating a big fat catch for their lunch.
Number 3: the birds were jumping around, most likely to dodge out of their predator's path.

The 1st thought that popped into my puny lil' brain was to call the snake-buster. YES, THE SNAKE CATCHER, lest it crawled into my yard. But bleah, no contacts, whatsoever of a snake charmer. hehe. So i thought, if it left me alone, i shall jolly well let it slither and slime downhill to its own little sanctury OR shld it come within a foot of me, I Shall Club It to death, to steve irwin's dismay. Yup. And THEN, i saw this thing hop a couple of times in front of the snake, expectedly a bird (pigeon maybe) and it hopped out of my sight, for the white walls of my backyard obscured my view. And almost immediately, i saw the thing slither right behind it, eventually also disappearing out of my view behind the wall. Curious, i ran upstairs to my room and peeked out of the window, craning my neck to see what on earth happened to the 2 creatures. Unfortunately, neither of the 2 were to be seen. Disappointed, my only guess wld be that the snake probably gobbled the flying creature OR the bird flew away in the nick of time. Chances were that the snake had it's fill for I hardly saw the winged animal fly off at all. Oh well. Roasted pigeon for lunch.

Bedtime!~

what the hell does 'chop' seat mean! Someone please enlighten me. (then the uncouth scene of pkts of tissue papers and umbrellas on benches obscures my view. I say...HORRENDOUS.)

Oh No. DON'T EVEN THINK of attempting to explain the sh*t term. I don't want to listen.

Do you mean "Reserve" seats? HELLO!? R-E-S-E-R-V-E Reserve Seats!

Please don't do this to me.

Darn, I just utterly hate singlish.

There you go. Out of the bag.

OMG. I am ____ full right now=P

just returned home from a gastronomical dinner in bkt timah (did i mention that i love that place?) hehe. someday. Someday i will move right in there again and relive my childhood. that place brings back so much fond memories...

--back to the point--

i accompanied my parents to an elaborate (vERy) dinner tonight. while they had a $28-buck 10-course meal each, i had er...some eh...chinese ala carte (passable lah). Wah liao eh. And I am bursting (why do i feel like I will be abstaining from food for the next 3 days) KNS. Sorry. But i think i put on a couple of pounds just within that 2hr dinner. Darn. This time i think i really feel like regurgitating. That simply adorned restaurant was hell exorbitant. 1 bowl of laksa costs like $22 (super steep can!!! a total exhortion considering the mediocre dishes they whipped up) i wldn't exactly go to that unprominent place if not for the lobang. Oh btw, the presentation of dishes are pretty exquisite, making up for the lack of earthly delicacies. All in all, i think that pudding dessert thing was DE best. it's kinda like pavlova but much thicker. A little like cheesecake yet not that cheesy. aparently trying to describe what it felt on my taste buds is impossible for my lack of vocab fails to it do it justice so i shan't even attempt to humiliate myself. Well, well...all i can say...have a go at it :) haha.

That's one reason why I love being my daddy's girl (:

Today i watched Philadelphia--starring tom hanks. Boy, was the show good. Was abt a gay-activist, caught up in a lawsuit against his former 'counsillor' (present-'lawyer') colleagues who ousted him because he was a homo who contracted AIDS. Perhaps you wldn't ruminate much abt the fact that he was being ostracized and discriminated but it's a cold hard fact that some pple are homophobic and are disregarding homos like the guy in the show. Well, eventually, the guy sorted the help of ironically, a homophobic and won the case. However, the gay died in the end. There you go. Synopsis of the film. haah

Goodnight babes and hunks.

I had a strange dream last night (which dream of mine isn't strange?) I dreamt that i was having dinner with my family (some place with good waffles=P) when I was utterly disgusted to knife open the rare-steak to find...........splats of black ants feasting on my bloodied beef tenderloin. Sick huh.

I just received some long overdue pics d/led from my friend's hp. Looking at the pics dated back since feb, things feel a little just like yesterday, when i was still sitted in the corner (with that picturesque view of the marina) of that then unfamiliar gargantuan office. Oh boy, those were the days (: how time flies. i love that advert on (was that mercedes benz?) abt how we want time to go slower when we're enjoying it; how we crave for it to stop when we are happy and go faster when we're in pain. Lurve it. And another one abt how we shld be born old and live to young so that we can indulge in the car 1st (was that a peugeut?). Anyway, automobile adverts are amazing :)

sorry guys, but i've been really busy of late. who wld have thought that i'd be even busier after an exam?...Definitely not me! right now, it's just cls, cls and more clses. I don't even have time to get into the mood of the GSS; just window-shop, grab an eye-catching piece, then speed-change. Then decide in 2 min or so, The Decision--to grab or gape. hehe. Yeah, i know, how sad. how morbid. Sigh. oh and i haven't got down to cycling for eons as well. ARGH. oh well.

Blah. The weather's is so hot :( i like waking up to the cool mornings, especially those after the rain. And the sun's not scorching my bum =P

Yesterday was father's day. my sis just got a combi of a few pieces (4) of cake to celebrate. let's see, there was a slice of mango, pandan, cheese and *drumrolls* Hersheys Choc Fudge Pie (drools). We shld celebrate more often :)

hell, jamie-oliver can cook. Lurve his food. I wanna bake too. Haha. But i've got no oven :(

Oh, this is sth that I've gotta announce. I AM OFFICIALLY NON-ALLERGIC TO ALCOHOL. hehe. Last wk the lecturer brought us a 15% alcohol content bottle of i-don't-know-what. And I drank half a cup. Hehe. No RASHES. WOoOhOo~! Eh...but it was diluted 5 times the volume with Sprite lah =P Still, an accomplishment. Oh baby, I am ready for clubbing. HAhaAR.

argentina rawks. not that i'm supporting them...hehe.

i almost puked. hah.

Lord, give me some direction. Lord, help me find purpose in this disaster of a life, and when i do, help me to believe in it. Please help me find the peace i so badly crave. the serenity that used to overwhelm me but has since been eluding me. don't let me chase away the things that matter most in favour of dreams that never last. help me find the way to redemption.

-extracted from a friend's blog-

i love this prayer. i shall dedicate it to my dear family and friends (:

I am super pissed with my sister. don't ask me why because I don't wanna know. I just am. Super pissed that i don't even wanna see her face.

feeling dejected today.

i need a life. really. I wish i can look beyond the sea of life. I know there's much more than getting accepted into a med sch, into a top uni, so on and so forth. but i just can't do it. it's amazing what one can find over the internet. surfing friend's blogs for the entire afternoon told me so. i found one and the list goes on. i miss ny days. or even just studying in singapore. i feel like my life has been and is so wrong. the constant thought that i cld just end my life this very minute just keep popping in my head. i miss the life. i miss the somewhat little life that i had before i left. i wish i cld live it all over again. it's impossible but i've been feeling so unaccomplished, so unwanted, just so wrong. i don't want a fanciful life. i just want to be me. i just want to go back to the past and be surrounded by my friends. i don't want to be a hermit crab and feeling like every corner i hide is going downhill. This isn't what i want. i shldn't be here. i haven't won any battle and i shldn't be doing this. What battle is won when there isn't a rightful challenge, a worthy opponent? i wish i cld end MY life this very minute.

*devastated*

an amazing day=)

rocked the town with shu this afternoon then met can and dre for dinner at sushi tei. Ok, one restaurant less to patronize after can found a strand of hair in her soup only to be extremely revolted and disgusted=( no more sushi tei. shld have gone to nooch. but where dre has violent objections after ingesting uncooked noodles in her past experience, how cld we have gone there? Sigh, anyway, shu and i found more restaurants in taka where i am game enough to try. hehe. shall let my taste buds squell. er..i mean swell.

met jacinth-selling coffee in taka and aileen in orc mrt. then had ade serve us our ice-cream in wheelock for dessert. then saw siyu crossing the road on my way home. orc is such a small place. Or maybe, singapore. rem that day i went off to watch the play, i saw shuwen and her bf in citylink and i was so amused. but the very minute i turned back from 2nd looks, Boom! jieqiwas walking towards me. None of whom, of course, saw me. Perhaps I changed alot from high sch, because hardly anyone of these pple recognised me, or maybe they didn't see me, or maybe just that no one can be bothered to say hello.

the night was awesome abeit the hair-in-soup incident. shopping with can is a killer. it was almost impossible to drag her out of the 30-70% discounts in surf and dive at heerens. the fact that dre was already waiting for us at paragon didn't make an ocean of a difference in which she just continued on her spree. so after dinner at paragon we were on the hunt for a dessert house and after much contemplation of having to go to level one for another full blast cash-disposing experience, we decided that if we didn't go to wheelock NOW, we wld never make it there because can will probably be stuck at far east for the night. so yada yada yada, made a detour to topshop and headed down to the dome palace where we shared a waffle with blue-berry topping and rum and raisin ice-cream.

oh and i was pretty sure i was drunk after eating the ice-cream. For some reason, i cldn't quit laughing for at least 10 min. I didn't know what was so funny. all i knew was that I cldn't stop flashing my whites. And both my friends just kept saying that I was drunk and i was NEVER to eat rum and raisin again. dre was funny. she just kept telling Can "she is not herself. I think she is very high." and she kept asking Me "are you ok?...I think you are drunk. drink more water to dilute it..." Ok, so maybe i was really drunk. And i drank at least 6 glasses of water the whole time we sat at Big O and ate. Gulp after gulp. (I think alcohol makes you thirsty. Or maybe it was the whole saucer of wasabi and light sauce poured into my sushi) Anyway, and all i saw was the waitress (ade) and some other pple coming back and forth to refill my glass the umpteenth time. I was pretty sure i was sober!!! But seriously, being drunk felt heavenly. I just kept laughing and laughing and laughing at every single thing the both of them said (or didn't say) and I felt very high. as though i was on cloud nine. If THIS is what being drunk feels like, I am telling you, I love it. Oh and one more thing, all i felt was light-headedness and yes, Really high.

my sis says she wanna bring me to mos. she said it's nice, except that you gotta queue. Okie, I am all for it. but I really wonder when, esp with her busy schedules. maybe next yr. hehe

Feeling Great!=)

Sis just dropped us home after a heavy meal (still feeling gigantuan-ly full) at the club today. Herbal chicken, buttered dory fishes (2), chicken wings (4), chef salads (2), ice-cream ice kachang, banana split and chendol. wOolaLa~~~... *burp*...Yummy tho...Although I know it's really late for dinner and desserts...Because big sis had to work till 9pm. Anyway, haven't had such outings in a while. Laughter amidst the occasional grunts. It's always been this way since I knew. Whatever it is, I am glad=)

Last night I went to my sis's house and erm...was very dumb. No wait, 1st I found her half-eaten 1-pint rum and raisin hagen daaz and finished it. hehe. THEN. *drumrolls* I took 40mins to switch on her highly complexed (retarded) plasma tv. ARgh. Was on the verge of giving up already. Then viola~ finally after punching the on and off number for at least 10 times, and after meddling and toying with the contraption, also known as remote control, I am proud to announce that I FINALLY GOT IT. Was qte itchy then because there was hardly anything to do at my sis's place...except tv. so if I never switched it on, i wld jolly well be rotting there...*sob*...Called my 2 sisters up just to ask how to switch on that bloody thing OKAY. no reply from 2nd sis. big sis called bk, apparently she was very busy, so she sounded really pissed or sth when i asked her. The conversation went sth like this:

sis: "you see that on button on that biggest silver remote control" [MIND YOU, THERE WERE 5 REMOTE CONTROLS ON HER TABLE--2 for aircon, 3 for TV!]
me: "yah...pressed already..."
sis: "then beside got a button...you press that one..."
me: "which one? I don't see any...you mean below..."
sis: "ok...below...then press up and down..."
me: "ok...yah then i see the channels on the tv.."
sis: "no, not that one..." (sounding pissed)
me: "HAIYAH! OK NVM, I'LL FIGURE IT OUT MYSELF. BYE."
sis: "ok. bye."

haha. Bleah. My sis always talks to me like that, I mean sounding pissed. whatever. haha. Bottomline is, I managed to on the tv. HaHaR. Not that I wanna criticize but I hate her tv. It's bloody flat and elongated so everything is basically compressed from top to below, as though you are watching dwarfs with squashed faces. Well, that's what i think. Oh. And it's so freaking big that I get a headache watching it so near (because the diameter of her living room is small).

Hmm was supposed to go for dinner with Dre today but sth cropped up last min. Haha. No actually, because i didn't go to sch today, so gg to town was such a loooooong journey for me=P I was lazy lah, OKAY? Anyway, I had a family dinner too. Hehe. so i cldn't have gone to meet her no matter what. But we shld be meeting next wk, with Can, hopefully.

Yay. gg cycling with Can tmr. pray for gd weather and I hope it's not crowded but I doubt...esp with stupid kids...Oh well

doing maths at 1am is definitely not a good idea. I was doing tut when i got stuck at 1 qn, thinking that if i finished everything, i didn't have to attend class today. it's the kind which if u give up half way, u will lose all ure marks online. I hate this kind of gamble. Anyway, after 10 or more failed attempts and witnessing my marks gradually plunging and i'm still not getting the right answer, i was disconcerted and panicky and...i called my friend up at 2.30am. I must have been not thinking straight because i was so tired but i cldn't get out of the webby. Anyway, she cldn't answer my qn too, not at 2.30am, so she told me to log out, with me desperate hoping that my marks will not be gone in the wind like that. up till now, i haven't answered that freaking question. Just hoping that after she goes for tut she can teach me how to answer that ONE question.

WoW wee~!=) Peace is good~

Tv's amazing. steve irwin is awesome. nigella's cooking shows are great. enjoying it=P

Shld be hitting town later to find my mum and maybe head down to my sis's home to watch more tv and eat her food from her fridge. ahhaaR...

Rocking sox!

Class95~
Q: which animal has the smallest sperm?

A: hippo.

Wow wee~ Okay.

Life goes on.
On a brigher note...I shall sleep in tmr. How exciting to start off my june.
