i must have eaten enough in the last four days to feed an african child living in poverty for 6 months.
SIGH!
puaysian is leaving today. have no idea how i'm gonna spend the next 45 days give or take without him here in singapore. so i'm gonna enter my bubble of grumpiness.
grunble. grumble. grumble.
mango sale
Friday, June 23, 2006
this year's mango sale was a huge disappointment to me. only bought a top and a skirt.
that's lousy man. compared to my sis who bought thousands of tops and bottoms.
some pictures...
the picture is abit blur due to my excitement.
waiting for the blasted gates to open.
oh well! at least i found the only top i fancied from the last two seasons.
went to work and found that mtv had sent a kacang putih stand!
guess it's cause mastercard is a sponser of the movie awards. i only had the chick peas..euyech! not nice. the sugared peanuts went out first.
i was so tired i fell asleep while standing on the train. tahan-ed until 10pm when i promptly fell asleep on the sofa. somehow i managed to sleepwalk my way to my parent's bed. woke up at 12.30am. and the cycle of sleeping late and waking up late continues........
went cycling and blading with puaysian and his bro and cousin at ecp ydae. feeling the aftereffects today when my legs hurt really badly after standing for a mere 3hours.
i'm gonna buy a pair of blades soon! yay-ee-yay!!!

haven't been blogging for a long long time cause i'm just plain lazy! so lots of random photos coming up.
my sleeping time is seriously screwed up these past few weeks. been sleeping at 4am and waking at 12 noon. sigh. the day becomes really short. just 6 hours of sunlight before i'm back to the world of nightness. have to do something about that since mango sale is this coming thurs! have to wake early to beat the crowds in getting what little there is to get this season. more later bout the damned mng sale!
from two sundays ago. my family had dinner at dunman place. really yummy claypot chilli frog!
really nice and soft porridge to accompany it.
bernice whining away about her favourite ngoh hiang guang qiang not being opened that day.
some day last week. i met bernice after work to hit the shops.
cool psychedelic decor at topshop and grinning bernice.
topshop finally sells jackie-oS!
bernice looking oh-so-cute in her retro hairband and shades.
funny signs at nike.
last sat after band, i headed home with shijia and beth as usual. we boarded a new bus which got us a-whirring with excitment!
the new bus models now had yellow and green upholstered seats! i've to admit that i haven't sat buses for a long long time. have i became a bus mountain tortoise?
but the patterns SBS choosed is all but puzzling me. i mean it's not that nice isn't it? reminds if egg yolks for some reason.
went to holland v with bernice on monday since she wanted to check out the bead shop.
i had lots of weird experiences that day! more later!
people to the west actually dare to sit on the floor in the event that there are no seats.
the famous windmill of holland v. which was tucked deep inside.
think i'd recognise the holland st shopping centre more as holland v at a first glance.
to everyone: mr cobbler have moved!
first stop: beads @ work.
i swear their prices have gone up! the prices are exorbitant!!! i'd rather get my materials from my neighbourhood craftshop. time and money saved on travel too.
then we headed to Provence bakery. mmm..the breads here are simply to die for on first glance.
it has a cottage-y feeling to it too.
there. i could not wait to sink me teeth into those buns after paying for them. if you go there, you've got to try the milk pan!
pass this cozy little florist shop!
it's called blooming affairs. i wanna be a florist! yeap..other than that, i've also wanted to be a farmer. and a grass-mower! but i only want a tractor. no hand-held grass cutter for me please.
next to the other bead shop at the shopping mall.
they arranged their stuff according to colours. simply delightful to look at!
and then to fos where you can get abercrombie&fitch and hollister tees.
before we left, i bought this malt candy thing from the old lady outside watsons. euyew! it had blackish dots in it. bernice didn't dare to eat it. i ate all of mine except for this gigantic black speck!
as usual we went to get the xo fish bee hoon.
and bernice promptly spotted her fave liu xuan's picture in the extreme top left! all the times i've been there i've nv spotted him...
met puaysian today and we headed to parkway.
we tried the katong laksa store no. 57.
we've finished the entire bowl. haa. wasn't that bad. i give this store 6.5/10. marks deducted for the lack of spiciness!
and yo-hans was performing at parkway. i remembered queing to have a photo taken with him a few years back. seems like the yoyo craze is back.
and shucks! there is no reservation allowed this year for the mng sale. damn! instead mng cardholders get first touch on sales item. not fair i say!
isetan tamp mango all readied for the sale.
that's it! and i won $1.90 for betting on spain. yay! peanuts but it's still money!
these are the places i've visited before. hmmm. looks quite sad. furthermore i've only covered tasmania and gold coast for australia. i wanna visit america! i wanna explore the streets of manhatten. sit in one of the quaint old cafes watching the world go by. lie on the soft grass of central park gazing at the clouds above.
boo...

i feel as if everything in the universe is preventing me from blogging..
no time. cannot log in. photos not in the computer i'm using. bad internet connection. grouchy. bah!
tonight i'll try to blog lar..
thoughts. don't see this here often.
Sunday, June 11, 2006
went for band this afternoon. yes yes..it's becoming more productive. that's good isn't it? it's just that sometimes i feel as if i'm anyhow whacking just for the sake of looking like i'm playing..hmm! and i wish i had the ability of keeping a straight face whenever i play a mistake. gosh! the first thing i do when i make a mistake is to stick out my tongue. i swear it's a reflex action! and cause i did that i'd look round to see if anyone saw me doing that! sigh!
met sher and dhana at parkway after that. it's been quite a long time since i saw dhana. hmmz..he reminded me of primary school and the friends we had last time. logged onto friendster to check out some of our old friends like just. and i found out how much these people have changed. i guess it's not primary school that moulds you. think it's more of secondary school and jc. and i'm going to be like what? 20 this year. that's like donkey years old. in other words. it's Scary! yes with a capital S. haven't seen dhana for so long that i've forgotten that he's really hilarious to be around. sarcastic funny. but funny all the same.
maybe i'm too soft-hearted or something. but it seemed that i don't really dislike many people out there. i just feel that when it comes down to people, there are like so many different kinds of personalities out there. i just accept them for who they are. as long as they don't mean to harm you, i guess there's no need to hate them. true?
oh well. like what sher said, caucasians who are way younger than me, like maybe 16, look damn matured. so maybe it's time to grow up and fit into my full 20 years of age. soon to be that is. meanwhile. i'll work on my funny faces. less funny more poker-straight face. i'll try to be less nua about things i think i can't do. and driving here i come. BUT i'll still accept people for who they are.
all around singapore
thurday was travelling all over singapore day!
woke up damn early in the morning erm okay it was 9am to head for an interview at jurong!
recruit express at JTC summit..was shocked to see such a nice office buiding at jurong.
kind of regretted going there cause the person who called me down was on mc and it was only a small and short interview with another lady. to make matters worst, she told me i could have done the same interview at tampines since they had a branch there. like OMG!
the winds at jurong were like stronger than the east side. the leaves on the plants were like flailing so hard i was worried they would be bald by the end of the storm.
scary disgusting dark clouds..
headed to orchard. and i saw a couple taking wedding photos there. was trying to be discrete in taking the photos. but the shots were all so bad. blardy hell! the make-up artiste, the photographer all kept blocking the bride. her dress was nice!
see what i mean? damn! it had subtle black embroidery down the front of the gown...
yeap..went to orchard to meet puaysian.
went to far east to eat my chicken rice and say hi to irene who's working at rick's at Level 1. quick go bags from her!
oh yeah..far east toilets had toilets which were the bidet types..mmm..i tried fiddling around with it the last time and only ended up getting my slippers wet. haa..because first of all i was facing the toilet bowl while switching on the tap thingy.
went to sim lim after that to meet kelvin and his sis, vivien. vivien is pretty! erm..unlike..erm...
puaysian and kelvin got their ipod video. i also want! it's damn pretty! oh..you can see vivien and kelvin in the background. didn't take photos cuz it'd be damn weird. like we just met, then can you imagine if i suddenly said, 'aeh! let's take photos!'. haa. if i were her, i'd be damn stunned and then i'd start being wary of crazy agnes lim.
it was raining and it was so slippery! i slipped once. my head slammed into puaysian's arms cause he was beside me and luckily this stopped my fall. haa. damn funny as i sit here recalling how i fell and unfell.
vivien took us to eat at this dessert place. damn nice i tell you! haa..kelvin couldn't eat anything since he had diarrhoea for three days already and everything on the menu had milk!
i shared something called super fresh mango with sorbet ice cream with puaysian. we were choosing between this and fresh mango with sorbet ice cream. haa. like wth! of course choose super fresh right? this is the smaller serving and it's like huge! damn yummy. all the mangos..mmm..
and then puaysian sort of managed to bluff kelvin to accompany me and him to walk from bugis to city hall. and then it was bye babe!
went to meet the section ppl for huiping's birthday dinner. think i haven't been to cafe cartel for some time. the whole system has changed. free bread for all diners! i love their bread!!! think i can just eat like only their bread for one whole meal. erm..plus tons of butter of course.
huiping ordered ribs. made her take this photo cuz i couldn't imagine that slab of ribs inside super petite her.
the four of us. andrea wasn't there that night cause she had some camp meeting thing.
such a sweet sight. our table when we left.
work was so boring today that i just fooled around with scotch tape and blue ink.
saw the big boss of mastercard today. boy is he tall! think he has at least 1.9m of height in him. think most successful big bosses are tall. and they all have this common fast stride that makes them look super confident.
oh. and puaysian has finally received news that he's leaving on the 27th of june to set sail into foreign land. i've been preparing myself these past two months for life without him. but our mishap last year taught me that i can be independent too. i'll be sad and i'll miss him lots while he's gone but i know he'll be coming back. so instead of being mopey and whiney, i'll just keep praying that he's safe out there and wait for the six months to pass. til he's back again.
