over!
the sitex fair is finally over! after working for 4 days straight and standing for 10hours everyday handing out flyers and smiling till i look like some sinister madcow..its finally over! even tho my back hurts like hell and i can no longer feel my feet, i'm still happy that at least i have a chance to work at such a fair and to be able to see 3 cuties! muahaha!
cutie number 1: his name is trevor (yar the toad in harry potter) and after 4 days of work, he said one sentence to me--->"*
points to printer* this printer is theirs
*point to customers*"
cutie number 2: his name is alan and he is really tall! after 4 days of work, he also said one sentence to me--->"the ticket is excluding airport charge right?"
cutie number 3: i have no idea what's his name though i talked alot with him. he's the guy who gives out flyers at the main door and he studies in ngee ann poly bizIT. oh! and i know he lives in marine parade! i shall remember him as myob.
so that's the breakdown of the 3 cuties i got to know at sitex fair 2004. tho i'm sure i'll forget them soon enough, at least i did not waste my 40 hours of work and getting paid $2.50 an hour!
*winks*
tomorrow is another day of work..can't believe i'm working for another 5.5 days without any break in between but thankfully! i have my physiotherapy appointment in the afternoon so its another half day off for me! i think i'll still have to go back for more treatments so i shall try to enjoy the process of having my neck elongated.
its weird missing church this week. its like my week isn't complete at all. sigh.

achy feet.
after another day at the expo, my feet have officially rotted and my bones are disintegrated. i'm sure after another 10 hours of flyer giving tomorrow, i will have no feet at all. flyer giving is a tough tough job man i tell you..and those out there who thinks that those pple out there on the streets giving out flyers for two hours are just easy money, they are so right! but doing it for 8 hours is hard work man!
and the sad thing is, the response is not even up to expectations cos pple don't really wanna buy airline tickets on impulse. which i can totally understand cos if its me, i won't even think of buying it since i will have to end up paying more money tho its still cheaper than booking tix outside. oh well, hopefully the weekends will bring in more crowds and bangkok-loving pple so at least our hard work is paying off.
oh yaa..! there's this cute guy working as a canon promoter and he has those cool cool looks. but sadly, his name is not really as cool as his looks. Trevor. and Trevor is the name of the toad which belongs to Neville in Harry Potter! was quite amused when i found out but i will still enjoy looking at his cool cool face for the next two days tho he is not that cute enough to make me feel motivated for work. :p
so right now i'm feeling very very tired i shall go slp and rest my non-existing feet.

busy busy.
you know what i can't stand the most? when guys call girls chicks! i mean what's that man? its not like girls go around calling guys cock! it sounds damn crude right? aye! was listening to something just now and this matter just struck me. oh well just a penny for my thoughts!
well! today was a not bad day even though time kinda past damn slowly before lunch. but things kinda speed up after lunch time cos we were busy trying to finish the damn catalogue! but guess what happened?? the stupid printer ran out of ink just when we were gonna print the LAST page of arnoma hotel's stuff! totally pissed with the printer..we are so not meant to finish it today. gross. so around 5.30 we took a cab down to expo to check out the booth thing and realised that its actually an IT fair! so all the computer companies will be there selling their stuff and trying to out-do each other with the freebies. all you IT craze can go and check it out :) thursday to sunday, 11am-8pm.
went for dinner at changi airport after that and kim treated us to sakae sushi! wahaha! ^o^ sat and ate for almost 2 hours and we really got to know kim better now! and knew that the shop location was decided impromptu-ly by pauline and that kim was also shock to find out that it was next to an adult novelty shop. ahaha! talked abt lots of stuff including the secondary schs that we go to, which schs we won't wan our kids to go to next time and ladies in miniskirts working at the massage parlour next to the toilet. :p
anyways, pple always say that breakups will always affect ones studies and i say! its damn accurate! got back my results today and its one of the best results i got so far! did not even get a D man! damn happy when i saw the grades and it really made my day!
*all smiles* told my sis abt it and she was like "ok..so you are different from other pple. congratulations." haha! i guess if we were still together, i would be too distracted to study hard for my exams and i would not have scored as well (not that its very good la). so, if
you happen to stumble across this blog and reading this, i wanna thank you for the breakup :) at least i can say we are both happier now.. plus, we weren't that compatible also =/
i'm sure i will get over you soon.
if i could turn back the hands of time, i wouldn't do it.

denial?
ven! i don't exactly do exciting and interesting things everyday! realised that i don't blog everyday so those un-blogged days are the boring ones! :p
zan! don't worry i'm fine :) its been hurting for a very long time already and i see hope in the near future that i will recover! :p
________________________________________________________
so today was another long day at work and after 2 weeks and 2 days of my attachment, i can finally record in my log book "i did ALOT ALOT of photocopying today!" the canon fair at expo is starting in 2 days so we printing out all the forms and faQs for the pple coming for the fair. went to funan to buy the paper and it was damn blardy heavy cos we had to carry 4 stacks of 500piece coloured paper back to the office! can you imagine two girls clad in semi-formal wear sitting on the floor trying to re-arrange the cables?
now i feel like a handyman =/
and if doing handyman jobs weren't bad enough, kim told us that we had to work through the weekend cos of the fair! and its 11am-8pm from thursday to sunday! arhhh..my week is totally ruined already. i think starting from tomorrow i'll be doing OT everyday. i seriously think its a curse man. i just got my own computer yesterday and today the OT news came. this is what i get from laughing at ervin. :'(
anyways, felt quite irritated since last night when my mom kept asking me why i don't want to throw away the things inside the green box and how long i'm intending to keep it..sigh. she don't seem to grasp the fact that i'm just simply not ready to do it. so since last night after the stupid question, i've been feeling very moodswingy and upset with myself. somehow even though i'm always telling myself that i'm getting over it rather fast and that i'm not upset anymore, last night's question kinda slapped me right in the face cos i teared. maybe i'm in denial. maybe i'm not. have no idea. i can't think anymore.
if i could turn back the hands of time.

today's work consists of re-arranging the computers, binding together the cables, hammering the cable covers, buying office supplies, hammering my own hand and hitting my head against the pc monitor. but thankfully! i went off for my physio after lunch :) the physiotherapist just asked me alot of questions regarding my neck ache and most of my answers are "yeah it hurts. yes all the time. ya it hurts there too. ya all the time. yes i have headache now. no i don't have asthma."
yep so after answering all the questions, she made me lie down on the bed and started pressing and massaging my neck. at ALL the painful parts! and i thought it would be relaxing man. then she went on by tilting my head in every other direction and asking me "does it hurt?" and i just kept replying "yes it hurts a little.." when she turned my head towards the right and "OWW OWW! yes that hurts!" when she turned it to the left. after alot of painful pressing, massaging and MORE painful twisting of necks, she put me on a traction.
a traction is basically this machine where you lie down, strap your head onto and in the process clamping your neck in a stationary position. then the machine will start pulling your head slowly away from your body but not hard enough to dislocate anything. i wasn't that worried when the therapist did all the clamping and strapping until the she gave me this emergency stopper and a bell just in CASE i felt uncomfortable. fortunately i did not feel uncomfortable with the process of elongating my neck and i actually dozed off for a while. ah well! its quite an experience and i will be going back there next monday again!
oh oh! when i was coming home, i saw a cute guy! and he lives on the 14th floor! in my block! how could i not notice him after so long?! ahhh..i think i will never see him again unless i start stalking the 14th floor..=( or maybe he's already married tho he didn't look that old. ahh....14th floor guy...

oww!
as i walked out of the bathroom just now, i saw something that i did not notice when i got home. my father's yin long yu (silver dragon fish) is dead. and its dead in a very very awkward position man! tho its in water, i still think its a real mean feat to balance on your head and die at the same time. maybe sometime in its last life it belonged to cirque de soleil. so my dad took out the fish and started giving it a post mortem check by looking into its gills, mouth, pressing its belly and in the process squirting out some shit out of its system. i think very soon my dad can quit his job and set up an aquarium already..muahaha!
anyways, was supposed to play badminton after church today at tanjong pagar but apparently, no one booked the court so we searched all over the west side for available badminton courts in CCs. and as you can predict, we failed terribly. so ming, fanjun and me ended up in the gym room at ming's condo! (yuk: muahaha! i don't even need to wait till thursday! :p) burned over 200 calories today and tho its not alot, its a big achievement for me considering that i'm a very very unhealthy person
*grins* so right now i'm feeling extremely happy with myself! ^_^
after spending almost half the day around the company of guowei, i can tell you can i'm an extremely traumatic and stressed out person now. experiencing his full blast nonsense in the confine space of a car is really not a very good feeling man..really admire minwei for his patience with his brother. must learn more from him man..tho i think by the time i attain minwei's level, i will be old and grey already. God give me more patience and love.
right now i'm looking forward to my physiotherapy session at NUH tmr!! cos it means i only have to work for half the day!
*extremely pleased* hopefully something good will come out from the physio cos the pain is getting quite hard to bear. =/
i promise if my neck recovers, i will exercise more often. scouts honour.

Rainbow Connection.
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard
and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that. And someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell,We know that its probably magic
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this sweet sound that call the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
Its something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

tired.
tagboard has revived! finally after so so sooo many days! not that it affected me much but at least the page looks nicer now :)
isabel called in sick today with a high fever so i'm working solo today..my backaches and my neck hurts too..having bit of sorethroat last night and woke up feeling worse. didn't wanna call in sick cos i'm not as ill as isabel. plus! i'm getting lots of MCs from my hospital appointments already so i have to come in for work. ayes..sore sore body.
spent the first 2 hours of work trying to fix the printer to my computer and i wouldn't wanna do it again! its so troublesome cos i have to find the printer driver online and install it, and install winzip cos the computer don't have winzip..yada yada yada..it was only after i plugged in the first printer then i realised that the printer is running low on ink -_-" so i had to unplug it and plug in the second printer which is the better one. realised that the 2nd printer is inkless too so i had to walk all the way to funan to buy the ink cartridges. now i'm so tired and hopefully the ink will survive till i print out all the hotel stuff so i wun have to go buy again.
yawns i'm tired..and bored..kim is always too busy to talk, i don't really understand chaii's accent and ah pei is always sitting there smiling. i don't really wanna talk to ah ma cos she talks extremely loudly and my hearing will be impaired. so now after wasting alot of paper and ink, i'm nearly half done and counting down to 6 o'clock. think i shall vacuum the floor later cos in the process of printing, cutting, printing and cutting, i've littered the carpet with lots of white paper and i have no one to blame. ah well.
later kids.

my sleepless in seattle dvd is spoilt! i cannot believe it..now i feel more deprived apart from the fact that i've missed my weekly
monday night laughs comedies..really hope that the dvd will somehow repair itself and stop jumping from scene to scene..so sad now :(
anyways, meiying started attachment at sentosa today and apparently, she gets weekends off!! arghh! quite disappointed that i did not get posted there now but i guess everything happens for a reason eh? i guess the travelling time is also too much for me and the working hours are also longer. i should be and i AM thankful that i'm in pan thitsa tho it is next to a sleazy shop. all is well :)
oh! just heard from mey that ervin has his OWN personal desk, OWN personal telephone line, OWN file folder, OWN pc. and what's the catch? he had to work OT on his first day of itp. ahhaha! big deal! i'm just happy with my OWN waterbottle. it nourishes my body and it doesn't cost me anything. lalalaa! =Þ suddenly thankful that i'm not in zoo anymore..the travelling time alone would have killed me, apart from the fact that the working hours are long and the pay is only $500..more reasons to be thankful for my attachment company! :)
today i learnt how to help customers apply for visa! and i learnt how to speak one word of burmese!
yawalei means "ok. can." muahaha! i'm making good progress! and i observed that burmese language seem to always end their sentence with
nor..see! soon i will be making fluent conversations with my burmese customers which consists of "orhkay, orhkay, yawalei, yawalei yawalei, nor!"

i'm gonna get lots of opposition for this entry.
i ended up watching shao nian te gong dui instead of sleepless in seattle and its the second week that i felt disgusted while watching the show! and you know why???? its not becos the games that they play are lame..they are really good actually. but!!! BUT!!! its becos it shows the shallow-ness of man (or MEN for that matter). grrr.
so the cute japanese singer Ma Yi is so much prettier than Chen Xian Mei, but does the treatment towards them be soooo different?! i really pity chen xian mei for getting all that crap treatment just becos she is not that attractive while ma yi is always swooned over and all she has to do is be all whiny and all. argh i think i'm gonna barf.
as much as all guys who read this will oppose to what i'm saying, i really think that whenever they say "looks are not important", its just crap. cos actions speaks louder than words and OBVIOUSLY looks are everything. and yeah i bet whenever guys hear such things coming out from a girl, they will be thinking "ahh...you are just jealous..i don't treat her better just becos she's prettyyy.." oh give me a break man.
so i'm here standing up for the rights of less attractive women! argh. unfair treatment. i am outraged! grrrr!

watermelon craving.
spent the whole day at home watching tv, surfing the net and thinking of watermelons. went to cut and wash my hair at gek poh and i say, i will never go back there again. the hair washing skill is worse than my mom i tell you and i did not feel relaxed at all. blah. 18 bucks for such lousy service. tsk! anyways, did not do much today too. didn't wanna go out today cos the weather was so weird..one moment it was hot and sunny and suddenly its overcast and windy the next. ah well, the other reason was that i cannot miss my monday dose of CSI..it does my body good. :)
channel 18's not gonna air
monday night laughs comedies tonight becos of the repeat telecast of the american music awards! argh i feel so deprived now! i'm an exceptionally unhappy customer of scv at this moment - 7:15pm.
now that i'm having my attachment and ending work at 6pm everyday..i don't have much time OR mood to get a life. i don't even feel like going out on a public holiday!! what's wrong with me?! i'm starting to morph into a couch potato and seizing every opportunity to rest in every other position! i need a life. i need someone to give me a life. and hopefully that someone has a car :Þ
since i'm a very unhappy scv customer right now, i shall go watch sleepless in seattle to relief my deprived state of mind.

yawn.
you would think that spending everyday at cityhall is enough to drive me crazy but i ended up at suntec city once again today. -_-" went shopping ard with eunice after church for her d&d and wedding stuff and she found everything that she needed after walking ard for like almost 2-3 hours..but at least it was a fruitful trip! =D
today was music sunday so there was alot of singing and music playing by tian yun group and mr xiao dong shan. whoa i tell you! the saxaphone was damn good man..xiao dong shan apparently played for heavenly kings and ahmei before so he is quite famous also. but that's not the main point! the impt thing is that the music is nice..hohoho! wish that i would have a chance to learn saxaphone in the near future. ;p
walked to suntec with fanjun and ian for dinner at cartel but the time we spent on talking was longer than the time spent on eating. the carbonara i ordered was so damn salty man..i bet the person sprinkled salt instead of cheese on my pasta. bleah. my liver feels so poisoned already
*makes mental note to drink more water* last night i woke up at ard 4 in the morning cos i had this terrible tummyache and my left leg started to ache too -_- couldn't get back to slp so i started watching tv instead. the show's called "if the shoe fits" and its abt a oldie modern cinderella story abt this girl who designs shoes and this guy who is in love with himself. i have no idea how the story ended cos i went back to slp after watching for half an hour. right now i'm so damn tired i'm not thinking straight already. night kids.

do you feel the mountains tremble?
i realised that its been a while since i had a good night's slp..ie, no dreams. been having all sorts of weird dreams lately and i can't seem to remember any of it. even afternoon naps are filled with dreams which kinda defeats the purpose of taking the nap. the saddest thing is that..of all the dreams i had, i've not dreamt of eric szmanda at all! after speaking of eric for so so long, heres a picture of him here to let you guys have a peek at how he looks like! hohoho!
.
i have no idea why i'm still not going to bed at this time..its like i keep thinking that i don't have to work tmr but in fact, i DO so its quite horrible..yawn. feeling so tempted to wear jeans tmr cos Kim wouldn't be around but then again, its not very nice..ahh..wadever :( gonna give out flyers tmr at telok blangah for yf programme..gotta rush down from work cos they are meeting at 130! and i'm only off at 2 =/ maybe meeting daphne in the evening? not confirm also. suddenly i have no idea what i wanna write in here..as you can see, i'm jotting whatever is coming into my head so it might not even make sense.
*ponderS*
went to bras basah with isabel to get the catalogue stuff and it was so troublesome! just choosing the photo album alone took so damn long cos we couldn't decide on which one to get (white or black background) and the cost wasn't cheap..so we took a super long time to come to a conclusion. by then it started raining already so we had to walk back in the rain and today, i nearly slipped and fall..THREE times! but all 3 times i managed to regain my balance before i embarrass myself! great balancing man! i think pretty soon i will be able to join the circus and do the cycling thing on taut rope.

midweek already.
finally did something mildly interesting for work today. we sticked our imaginary catalogue into a real sketch book today! even tho it doesn't look very nice cos its black and white and its still a draft copy, at least i'm not wasting my time away and staring at suspicious looking men loitering outside the office. for reason of the appearance of suspicious looking men, pls consult entry below.
went off at lunch for my doctor's appointment at NUH and tho we waited for almost 2 hours or so, time past relatively quickly cos i was reading my book and i finished it! everyone ended happily in the book and i'm so in love with joe roth(fictitious character) already! marian keyes is truly my favourite author! i'm actually contemplating buying her collection of books online so i can read as and when i want! christmas is coming..its a season of perpetual hope...and lots of presentsssss
...*hint hint* oh right, i'm suppose to update on my neck problem, ok i shall start a new paragraph.
so i went to the doctors and after alot of testing where he hit my arms and legs with a hammer-like thing and asking me to bend my fingers and stretch my arms, he concluded that there's nothing wrong with my nerves and i most probably strained my neck or something like that. so he prescribed this expensive ointment that costs 14 bucks and looks some sort like counterpain (which i ALREADY have at home) and told me i have to go for x-ray and a few sessions of physiotherapy. finally someone is taking my neckaches seriously.
ah well, talking to shihui now and trying to analyse why girls turn gay and when we are gonna go sun tanning! hohoho i'm so excited already! and my dinner is ready so i shall go stuff myself with food now! later dudes!

hotels hotels and more hotels
my attachment officially starts today and it was quite a long day tho i start work at 10am. the only thing isabel and i did today was to stare at ALOT of brochures and decide to imaginary thin air where we should stick them in order to make them look appealing and attractive. oh ya, i heard more foreign language today than any other language i understand..i'm sure at the end of my 5 months at pan thitsa, i will actually understand burmese! (am i right? not burma, not burmaian right?) whatever, you get the drift.
the office is actually smaller than Sunny Holidays and including isabel and me, there are only 5 pple working. i'm surprised that after only one day, i'm already used to the overpowering indian smell that lingers
everywhere. while i was in the showers just now, i got paranoid cos i thot i smell the
lingering smell in my hair! was so close to washing my hair all over again but laziness got the better of me. oh well, i'm sure its gone by now *winks* oh right! while staring and imagining into thin air today, i noticed men loitering outside the office and looking very very suspicious. it was until after lunch that the shocking realization dawn onto me: the office is next to a sleazy kinky shop that sells
that stuff! and i saw an indian man lurking outside the shop for almost an hour and up till now, i still have no idea what is he trying to look at. ah well! its gonna be a long 5 months!
reading this book called Last Chance Saloon and i'm starting to fear that i might have hodgekins disease :( cos this character in the book had a lump in his neck and he ended up having cancer. now i'm starting to worry about the bump in my neck and tho kaka told me it didn't felt like a lump, i'm still worried. can't wait for my doctor's appointment tmr so i can really find out what's wrong and why does it hurt.
now my grandma's latest fuss is rings and she kept insisting on wearing a ring on her inflamed finger. i worry for my dad's mental health more than hers. argh! my neck and head hurts more now. crap.

dodododododo!
my feet hurts from walking almost half the day away. my neck still aches from "unknown" cause and my eyes are blurred cos i'm just too tired. i'm like an old lady..full of ailments :(
anyhoo! saw sy in church today again..he seemed to always come for holy communion instead of gospel sunday or something
*ponders* but everytime i see him i can only think of cheryl and what a big pompous ass he was. i just hope the girlfriend now(can't remember her name) wouldn't get the same treatment as cher. went borders with minwei and co. after church just to walk around and kill time before i meet daphne. wanted to use my U2 voucher to get a shirt from G2000 but ended up not being able to use the voucher cos apparently they sent me the voucher which can only be used in U2 and U.W.N. ah well, the shirt cost me 39 bucks and i really hope that my work place WILL require me to wear it or else i will be wasting valuable money which can be spent on food.
speaking of food, i ate guo tie today again. and i vomitted. again. i think i must either start eating normal meals or start eating lots and lots of porridge.
*sick* but after puking my lunch out at marche, i ate calamari cos it just looks too tempting to resist! hahaha! i'm not even helping myself..i'm such a goner. saw this LG phone at hello! shop and i really like it! now i can find a reason to change my phone cos i think its on the brink of death. couldn't switch on my phone just now when i restarted it..so now i'm hinting VERY obviously to my dad that my phone is dying. i think he got it. :p
right now, apart from the fact that my feet hurts, neck aches and feeling rather blind, its not helping that i'm sunburned. my shoulder is killing me already. i hope miss zen is sunburned too..haha! then it wouldn't be just me and mey who's peeling. muahaha! :p watching princess diaries with the girls tmr! so looking forward already!

just got home after being out for almost the whole day! i am always amazed when i come out of the mrt station every week. can always hear the illegal fruit vendors belting out at the top of their lungs "twodollartwodollartwodollar! lai! liangkuailiangkuailiangkuai!" in top speed! can you do it?! i'm always trying to mutter under my breathe but still can't seemed to master it. even the illegal little boy vendor can do it flawlessly!
*impressed*
today's swimming trip wasn't very fruitful :( only did 4 laps and i stopped already..can't remember why i stopped too..hmm..? anyways, the rest of the time we were sitting around the wave pool playing with 5 year old boys who likes to splash water and call us "guys". all in all, it was a fun-filled afternoon! ate ban mian (yes! again! yum!) and fried dumpling after the swim and i say, one should not eat too much oily dumplings cos its like suicide. sad to say i felt sick after my lunch and puked 1/4 of my lunch in church..=/ and in anycase you are wondering, i'm not bullimic(sp?).
now my face looks a lil' sunburn and 2 hours of sunlight really did its work on my shoulders. kaka kept eyeing me and asking me whether am i peeling ornot..
that's so scary O_O haha! yawnn i'm so tired already..can't seem to load the pictures in here..for pictures of yesterday, pls scoot over to

went gengkis khan as planned with the girls after our last paper and the food was good! it wasn't that fantastic but it was still alot of seafood! we had prawns, weird looking crabs, lobster, yummy sushis, dory fish, beef, lamb, clams, oysters(only peizhen ate that..it looked scary to me), MORE gigantic prawns, chawanmushi, dim sum, ice cream, cakes and more cakes! so hoping to post some pictures that we took here but daphne sent the pictures in word document and up to this moment i STILL don't know how to save them individually. maybe i will post them up later! :)
walked around orchard after that and we were simply wasting time! but we don't care! being able to waste time doing nothing after weeks of frantic studying is such a gd feeling! :p peizhen went on frantic shopping spree and though she didn't buy much, she still bought the most among us 5 and we were calculating that she spent almost 100 bucks in one day. ahh well! i'm sure it will be earned back when she starts work soon! and me! hah! went for pedicure with meiying at voxy and the feeling was damn good i tell you! now i have pretty manicured toes! hohoho! these are one of the few things that we poor pple can try to take peek into how
tai tais live their life and for a moment then, i felt pampered!
after lots of walking and stopping and walking again, we sat around lips cafe, sipping drinks, reading mags and exploring peizhen's drawing skills! she's gd i tell you! if i have a picture of her drawings, i will post it here. ended my happy day with choir practice in the evening! :)
feel an unimaginable urge to tell you about the oyster that the restaurant serves. its GIGANTIC man! the shell is around the size of my palm and the meat was not much smaller than that. it looks damn scary and wobbly. O_o one cannot eat too many of those oysters served and gengkis khan becos they will either have food poisoning or contract Hep B on their 3rd shell. *shivers*
after seeing all the exclamation marks and lots of crazy laughter in my entry, u can see that i am very VERY hyper now! going back to my healthy lifestyle from this moment on! swimming with meiying and peizhen later on and i'm so excited! felt so unhealthy for the past 2 weeks cos i haven't been exercising. gosh i'm starting to sound like cixian! nooooo!!!
Useless fact of the day: A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death.

just shoot me!
today's TAM paper was a killer man! everyone handed up the paper with a look of dread and they either left the room depressed or laughing like a maniac like me. it didn't help that the weightage of the marks for each question is super heavy..i am so dead. at least the most comforting thing i could think of is the fact that we just need ard 40 marks for that paper to pass the module. i'm sure if i were to forward this module, i will get an A but i don't want to, so what i just said is crap.
well, saw kiat outside exam hall before the paper. he looks as screwed as i am but instead of tryin to cram last minute info into our heads, we ended up talking and wasting the few precious minutes that could save our lives. but its worth it! its not everyday you see an old friend you know. plannin to meet up for dinner one day just to catch up..but i guess its just plain talk. both of us will forget abt it soon enough..it always happens. haha :p
gonna try studying for gbe later on and the latest update on my revision: some chapters totally don't ring a bell. i really wonder what the hell was i doing during lectures. was i even there?! did my spirit leave my body or something?! shucks..i just need a pass for this subject. D is fine with me..i cannot imagine having to forward this module..i will definitely still fail. -.-"
enough of boring exams! sat beside this extremely cute ang moh guy on the train today! hohoho! that really perked me up for my paper! tho i couldn't really see his whole face, his side view was enough for me. muahaha :) the 2nd perk for today iss......there's CSI tonight! tho there won't be eric szmanda, i will still be wonderfully entertained with another episode of horatio caine and his sunglasses!
Useless fact of the day: Until President Kennedy was killed, it wasn’t a federal crime to assassinate the President.

counting down!
counting down the days to the end of agony! can't think of more ways to prepare myself for TAM paper tmr already so i shall just leave it as that! but of course i will read thru my text in the morning..i'm not crazy..hohoho!
didn't do much today..watched shao nian te gong dui while studying and its damn funny i tell you! its really innovative the way they design their games but too bad, its those games that we cannot use in church or any camps for that matter..ah well! its entertainin to watch anyways.
today morimoto lost the abalone challenge!! i don't believe it and though its tough to admit, the challenger's dishes IS sorta better than the iron chef's. his abalone dishes according to the judges are more tender and yummy..esp the fried abalone! can you imagine?!? deep fried gigantic abalone! muahaha!
iron chef did come up with an innovative dish tho..abalone cheese fondue! he deep fried abalone meat and dipped it into cheese fondue and the deep frying part is supposed to lock in the juices and to keep the original taste. arghhh..so hungry now!
watching My Sassy Girl on scv now and its not as funny as the first time i watched it already. quite disappointing tho :/ ah well! at least there's simpsons to look forward to now :) starting to like watching a town filled with yellow pple, drinking lots of beer and stuffing their faces with food! oh wait, thats just homer..well! that's simpsons for you!
not to forget..(how could i ever forget??) its CSI night! 10pm channel 5! hopefully Eric will appear tonight! :)
Useless fact of the day: On average people fear spiders more than they do death.

no monday blues!
have i ever mentioned that i absolutely love mondays!? at least for now i do! monday is tv night with all the funny comedies and eric szmanda! hohoho!
CM was alright today and i'm glad that all that mugging for the paper paid off
*grin* luckily i took a look at the past year papers yesterday or else i would have seriously blanked out today. finally got our CA2 results today and as expected, it wasn't fantastic. got a mid C which is 65 and it weighs 20% on our overall! argh this is not good. and i only got 60 for PM which i wasn't surprise considering that i don't bring tutorials to class most of the time. the surprising thing was that huien got 55 for her PM! she must have really pissed chih wee off one way or another. didn't managed to look at ahgui's PM tho..really wonder whether the angry email that she sent him set off any rage of any kind. hmm..
alright! enough of boring CM! today is CSI day and right now, i'm a very happy person after 2 hours of DNA, bullets and lots of blood. the sad part was that eric szmanda only appeared in the first hour of the show..BUT! he is looking as yummy as always and have all the funny lines :) thank you jerry bruckheimer! as much as it is a very very cool job, i wouldn't even dream of being a csi cos: one, i am too retarded, and two, i definitely cannot get pass the blood. O_O
speaking of blood, went to jp to buy lunch after the morning paper and i saw a few men trying to grab hold of this school boy who was having fits. he was bleeding and drooling from the mouth and someone stuffed a slipper into his mouth to stop him from biting himself. it was quite a horrible sight and i got nauseous after that. but right now i still don't know what made me wanna throw up. was it the blood? or the fact that the boy had to bite the smelly slipper?
*ponders* anyways, shortly after buying my lunch, i came out and saw that the crowd was gone and the floor was mopped! what would we do without diligent cleaners? to the uncle or auntie, i really appreciate you!
however! as much as i felt nauseous after the bloody sight, i still managed to finish my big bowl of ban mian for lunch! gosh i'm disgusting.
