The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.

sigh..so tired and bothered! so i'm just going to sleep..have to work tmrw...

hope i don't fall asleep like i did today during work. fortunately nobody found out since i was facing the wall..

the guy called when i was on slumber mode..sounding so excited since he didn't need to work tmrw. but i have to! sigh...haven't met him like for how long already. it's weird how much i miss having him around but the slightest things just agitates me so...

i hate it when i have to wake up early! rarr! everyone should start working at 12pm!

went out with the gals today. had my pictures uploaded already but just too sian to blog...

I DON'T WANT TO WORK!!! BUT I NEED MONEY TO GO OUT!!!
i found out that i actually like people to blog! as in i like to read their new blog entries..no matter how short or if there were no pictures. right now my blog mentality is to blog when there are photos. i mean...a picture speak a thousand words doesn't it? SO i've decided to blog a whole lot more! so it means more words..less photos!

anyways! i had a great great day today! went out with da miz ANDREA!

but first..i wanna talk bout the great big spider that greeted me this morning. yeah..the first thing i saw when i opened my eyes this morning was this huge black dot on my ceiling. so i grabbed my glasses which were hidden inside my desk (erm..cuz i only use them for school) and put it on. yipes! it was this solid black spider..i laid down there for around 5 minutes..with my glasses on..spying on that great black dot. when i was sure that it had crawled to my sis' place, i went to the balcony and grabbed the insecticide. when i came back it was just on top of the air-con unit, i stepped on my sis' bed and chair and sprayed and sprayed for my dear life! erm..my guess that up 'til now, it's still rip-ing on top of the air-con unit...

because of this incident, i met andrea 30 mins later than we planned. it's been so long since i went out with her. and we hit orchard and we, or rather she, left the shops high and dry! she bought enough stuff to create a completely new outfit! somehow shopping with her makes time go by so fast! haa..we always have lots of uncovered ground left..don't think we've ever completed going round the shops of far east in a day!

picks of the day by agnes!

• white shirt from Osmose (nv heard b4 brand but shirt looks decent enough!)

• silver hooped earrings

• gold hooped earrings

and of course the main motive of this shopping trip, huiping's bdae pressie! it was so difficult not to shop for ourselves especially since it's the gss now! but we managed to kao thim her present...

oh yeah..on why i bought two sets of hooped earrings..the first stall i went sold the silver hoops at $3 so i thought: hey! decent price! and so i got them. BUT this old lady at the shop was trying to put them into this small plastic bag, and try as she might, her fingers were too dry to separate the two sides of the plastic at the opening. with andrea and me like bloodhounds at the side watching her, she finally cave in to the tension and EUYEW! lick her fingers to open the plastic bag!!! 'ELP! like hello??? this is my earrings and you're licking the plastic bag?? I'M GONNA SELL THIS PAIR AT THE FLEA MARKET!!!

i saw the gold hooped pair at a second shop also at $3. and it was like thinner and looked WAY nicer..and when i bought it, they put it in this nice gold pullstring bag. oh! how different can the two shops be!

and i lol damn hard just now when reading both andrea's and sher's blogs! especially when i read sher's...

like guess what! after andrea bought so many stuff while she was with me..she met her sec sch friend for dinner and went on shopping!

and sher's woes with her footwear! haa..damn funny..can't believe that plastic ball dropped off your newest slippers!

okay..going to try to sleep now! have to report for work tmrw at 9am! meeting 1903 gals for dinner at bugis after that!
Saturday, 20 may 06

went swimming AGAIN in the evening...

my father forgot to turn off a certain exit on the expressway and we sat there heading to changi airport...

passed the runway of changi airport...it was REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY long! yes..it was..i just sat there for minutes while we travelled along this really straight road..

spotted this sort of air-conditioned hut thingy....


lots and lots of greenery and FINALLY a curved road!


by the time we reached, the skies were already turning dark..


we headed for changi village food centre after that for dinner...

mmm...lotsa nice food there...my sis don't eat yolks! i asked her for half a yolk and she literally gave me HALF...leaving one and half yolks to the bins...


Sunday, 21 may 06

went to expo for the flea market with sher!

so many many people there at 11am on a sunday morning...usually i don't even wake up before that!


look in the backgroud! THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE! sher said they were from the new creation congregation..the people were like a stream of ants...


sher's friends from laselle set up a stall there, and they had this very nice drawing on simple masking tape...VERY NICE!


before the rain came, the corridors of expo were empty...


during the rain, everyone fleed from their tables......


and set up shop in the corridors....


and sher got a very good bargain! these beautiful glittery pumps for 5 bucks! OH MY GAWD!


met puaysian after that for lunch.....


we went to genki sushi where i had ramen...guess Ajisen's ramen is really much nicer!


i got hot green tea...mmmm! i like! made me feel so healthy..think i drank around 6 cups!


Tuesday, 25 may 06

went to watch The Da Vinci Code at century square...the seats were more comfy than i expected...


after the movie, we saw a crowd gathering round waching this guy playing the House of the Dead 4...he was like awesome at it...all shots on target!


Wednesday, 24 may 06

worked for a day at BBS electronics....


as receptionist...was super duper free! i really liked working at this company...


that's cause i had TOTAL privacy...and i had advance warning whenever anyone was about to approach...that is from the ping! of the elevators and the clear view from the front...


was going through the receptionist's mag when i saw this ad. for some reason i really like how the girl model was dressed. comfortable. summery. laid-back. yet trendy.


and this is for bernice...somehow blogger came up with a troublesome word verification that you had to go through everytime you wanted to publish a post...

and i got mmyao which stands for bernice's dentist ---> MiMi Yao!


was chatting with sher online too..she was receptionist-ing at some trendy advertising place! guess what! she was doing her shopping online at the same time! omg...even when she's working she's still shopping!

the low-rise buildings opposite me while i waited donkey years for my bus to come!


had dinner with huilin and sher at bugis after that. we ate at v8...haa..reading sher's blog just makes me laugh at the sheer coincidence of our carrot talk and the soup of the day!

had gelato after that and i just wanna say that yogurt gelato has to be the best!

and we saw ann poh (WOAH!), eelyn kok and JULIAN HEE (GASP GASP GASP!)..julian hee looks abit red from drinking alco though...

Thursday, 25 may o6

went back for another one day recep job at mastercard.

working to the gateway buildings in the morning..yay! work started at 9am...so late!


magnificent great buildings they are!


oh...the cows in the field has been replaced by some funny tribal stuff and lips...


and here is mastercard's new 'priceless' advert...


bye nice building! i like new modern architecture..just like the lourves great glass pyramid entrance...parisians say that it spoils the city landscape...i say it looks classy and nice!


yet another photo of the nice architecture...


Friday, 26 may 06

went to join sher and her crazy friend lee-ann (so obviously not spelt like this!) who probably had a 200 words per minute ability, on the first day of GSS...i can't understand how sher could find so many great bargains! like the nice shrug she found at MNG which was on sale..i have never ever seen it before!

i didn't buy anything until we reached topshop...i totally lost the control i had the whole night and added more stuff at the last minute to my 'basket' when we were at the cashier... haa..we had to queue so many times! apologies to sher!

and we ended up catching the last train to cityhall...phew!


i swear that so many times during the night, sher totally reminded of marissa cooper from the oc!


cap that i bought at the last minute which i spotted while queing to pay...


it was from Topman..and it was on sale! $29 to $20..and a further 10% discount!


bought this bangle which was on sale too! Half-priced!


and a polo tee...sher choosed this colour for me!


and that day when i went blading with her at east coast park, i bought this pair of slippers! very rubbery to the touch...


and the shades i bought that day at forever 21..i already have two similar ones lae! but i see so cheap! only $13!!! couldn't resist!


on the same day i went to get a pair of heels from charles & keith..was a totally bought on impulse thing..haa...


and don't know whether they pictures will load not..got it from my email...pictures of chalk drawings by this guy..DAMN NICE!










yay! i like my job..one day only though...

it's being receptionist again... i know i've said that i didn't like being a receptionist.

but what the hell! it's so relaxing! haa..

but i've got to change my statement! i like being a receptionist in a not-so-classy company! yeap! i'm able to surf the net...read mags...stone...haa! and at the same time moolahs is flowing into my pocket!

haven't uploaded my photos so i can't blog much bout the past few days yet..seem to be really busy these past few days but i don't know what i've really been doing!

oopsy boss here! bye!
just popped down to ivy to immerse in a little of her bliss....

and i discovered this photo...

i went, 'aeh! isn't that me in the bottom left corner???'


went shopping with puaysian on wednesday...haa! he didn't buy anything..but I DID!

went to forever 21 when i found this pair of jeans going for $58...i couldn't come to a conclusion whether it did or didn't looked nice on me so i decided to pass it...


and a super short pair of shorts..i like khaki...as in the colour...


left forever 21 with a pair of shades! haa..yeah..again! oh mans! but it was so cheap!! only 13 bucks..no picture...later kay?

popped down next door to charles & keith..since i had this 15% off coupon i thought might as well get a pair...

haa..i got this pair of flowery heels..weird i know! it was bought on impulse..sigh!

we headed to zara where we came to conclusion that the alarm always goes *beep beep* whenever i head in there with puaysian...

haa..the security guard stopped us lae...asked us whether we had anything from zara...

i was just shaking my head to imply no when i looked and puaysian and laughed!

his shoes were from there lar...

haa..but we were let off when the security person saw how dirty his shoes were...hey guy! you've your elder bro to thank lae!

think i won't be going into zara with puaysian anytime soon!

stepped into stadium next and i tried on this lecoq bag that exactly matched what i wore mans! black white and red!


i was craving for far east chicken rice but i got damn hungry at wisma so puaysian suggested we ate at the foodcourt there...

mmmm..the scissor-cut curry rice there is to die for! try Old Style A..only $3.80 but damn yummy!

nxt day was supposed to meet puaysian....but my mum took half day to go shopping with me..haa!

i took her to eat the far east chicken rice..wahrao..the chili damn hot i ate until i had runny nose but my mum still can eat so much!

haa...when we left we dropped by guardian to get clorets mints...

my mum suggested we dropped by DFS to see whether prices there were cheaper...

haa..then this salesperson approached us and speaked in japanese...i just stunned then smiled at her...hello..do we look jap at all? if bernice were there, she'd be speaking to us in chinese.hor bernice? JOKE!

but it was great being in there...i felt as if i've stepped into another country...just for awhile...

my mum headed to the clinque counter to check the prices..they had rotating makeup display stands....


and i found my fave perfume there!!! wwwheee!!! i was so scared that i'd finish using it and there'd be no more...cause it wasn't bought in singapore so i've been a miser when using it...


haa..now i can spray more! spiff! my mum looked at the price and went, 'wow! here sell so expensive arh...' think we got the huger bottle at the smaller bottle price...


i even had a rabbit along with it! damn cute! i'll post pictures of it nxt time...

the perfume bar there...really spacious and they're very generous with letting you try the perfumes..i ended up with an irritated nose!


we headed to isetan scotts next...haa..found a pair of shoes with my name emblazoned across!


from where else but the french label agnes b.


my mum and i then took a bus down to robinsons..freak! it was only one stop and a long walk!

anyway the situation there was c-razy! it was so crowded!


went to the noodle place restaurant for dinner after walking so much...


small kitchen....


rather decent place....


but disgusting food! i couldn't finish my beef brisket noodles as it was so tasteless and dry...


on the way home..we passed by tampines central and my mum bought durains! yummy! i love durains!


and i totally dig my desktop now..off goes sexy ashlee simpson...to make way for stylish anime...


woke up at 7am to report for work...i swear there must be something wrong with me today...i took so long to do so little work!! and i was contantly muddled up and i tried talking normally but i sounded squeaky..think i sound like that after not talking for a long time! last time dumex i guess! since i've finished all the filing, shredding, labelling and checking air mileage..

i slpt super early yesterday too..1.30am! but was still super tired when i reached home...

while waiting for my sis to finish taking her bath so that i could have mine..i decided to attempt today's edition of Sodoku..i got stumped and five minutes later, my mum found me slumped over the dining table..out like a log....

but guess what? it's 2am now and i'm still super awake! sigh!
okay! nxt shopping list is up! on technology...bweeheehee...

no handphones or laptops or computers this time...

i want MUSIC! haa...it's not easy being satisfied ain't it so?

• SENNHEISER headphones
  

there are so many nice designs....
and i know the quality is good!
and let's face it..they're cool to have on aren't they? i hope they aren't too costly! i don't really like earphones cuase they get painful after listening to them for awhile..i don't know why..but my ears would suddenly get super painful after awhile...

• SONY Walkman Bean

haa...i've got to admit they look a little fugly...but they sure look cute...hmmm...white...

or black?

• CREATIVE zen neeon
  
  
  
  haven't really seen anyone carrying this on the streets before though...
  

• APPLE iPod
  
  
  this looks great too! so many choices...
  
  i can't wait for my pay to arrive!
  
  
  blading with sher
  Wednesday, May 17, 2006
  went blading with sher yesterday...
  
  it was a fun relaxing day..it started off really hot though! i was dripping in sweat even before we started!
  
  she totally got me influenced by her flea-market-exotic-places-shopping lark! after hearing and seeing the stuff she got on her blog that is...
  
  and her job at NAC was so so fun! boo...so unfair..i get the boring and totourous jobs while she gets to take photographs, dig out quirky facts and prepare press releases for her job!
  
  and what is a day out with sher without shopping???
  
  haa..we both were the proud owners of brand new slippers at the end of the day!
  
  and i've came out with a shopping list! haa..so that i'll be motivated to work! yeah..the only motivation for me to work alone without my friends is the cash man!
  
  first of all..make-up! stuff i don't need but i just want cause i've heard the raves about the product or the packaging looks damn good! haa..i'm a sucker for nice feature...sigh!
  
  
  • DIORSKIN Pure Light fluid foundation
  
  heard that it's supposedly super super light but still it covers any blemishes and imperfections, leaving matte smooth skin...mmmm...i like the sound of it! but it's like Dior! i wonder how much it'll be..
  
  on the other hand my mum will really kill me if i get this....she's really an advocate of good skincare and Clinique...
  
  once i went with her to a skincare talk by Clinique and i got into the whole idea of 'skincare should start as early as possible'. i started using their 3 step skincare shizz daily..erm..this whole craze lasted not longer than two weeks..i got really lazy about the whole thing...
  
  washing my face with their soap is fine with me cause i'll just do it when i'm taking my bath..but the whole exfoliation and moisturing part took an extra 10 mins of my sleeptime which to me at that was a very valuable amount of precious sleeptime..
  
  but i've to admit it works! my skin was smoother and there were less pimples...
  
  oh! and at the same time, i started off using her L'aroche Posay sunblock..SPF 60 no less with protection against BOTH uva and uvb rays..but it made my face look damn shiny! so i used her loose powder to matte it...
  
  now..my mum insists that i use it everyday when i go out so as not to waste the times i used it in the past...so what i'm trying to say is that my mum will be really angry if she finds out that she has provided skincare for me and i go right ahead to waste my money on the same thing!
  
  
  • CHANEL rouge allure lipstick
  
  
  oh! you've got to want one of these! i mean..it's like the first lippie which CHANEL has its name lasered on..and it opens with a tap of the finger...and it's like black and gold..so seductive! it costs $39 though..and i don't like lipstick! i mean..sometimes i don't even like lipgloss...i just use chapstick most of the time...
  
  
  • BOBBI BROWN bronzer/blush compact duo
    
  
  it's summer! erm..supposedly..and i always wanted a bronzer and this comes with a blusher! *adds brownie points* it costs $65 though..and once again..my mum would totally scream at me for getting this..she just got us a blusher from Clinique last year which i've kept permanently in my bag! and another one which was in the Chrismas set she bought obviously during Christmas last year...
  
  
  • STILA lipglaze
  
  erm..don't really think i need this but the packaging just makes me wanna own one..it's like simple yet stylish and adorable..and there's so many shades to choose from!
  
  
  • OPI nail colour
    
  
  with nice and out of the blue names like 'chocolate-shakespere', 'marooned on the magnificent mile' and 'Mrs O'Leary's BBQ', what's not to like about it? oh yeah..it costs $21 per bottle!
  
  okay..that's it so far for the make-up list...don't think i need any of these at the moment..but it's good to wish doesn't it?
  
  okay..if pearly (my job agent) doesn't call in with my new job tmrw, it's a day out with puaysian! we're gonna find a hair salon and get haircuts! maybe catch a movie too..i wanna eat the chicken rice at far east!!!
  
  
  Indecent Proposal
  okay..this post has been written long ago...
  
  was touched by this movie that i didn't planned on watching at all..it was a been there so done that kinda thing...
  
  but as usual..everything i embark on don't usually get completed if it's not done in 3 hours...so here's the incomplete version of the movie..
  
  just thought i'd post it so that at least you can read what's there..
  
  not much though...
  
  
  
  ain't love a messy affair?
  
  david and diana were the ideal young couple.
  
  they had everything. love. affection. companionship.
  
  everything that is...except for money.
  
  they met during high school.
  
  everyday david would drive diana and her best friend home.
  
  it started when david found diana staring at him in the viewfinder mirror. diana held her gaze. david did a double take and held his as well...
  
  diana broke into a smile.
  
  when they were 19, david proposed to diana. diana said yes but their parent objected saying that they were too young so...they eloped.
  
  they got married the hippie way. spontaneously. admidst strangers who were more than happy to share in their joy....
  
  and away into the sunset they went. in a trishaw. with used metal cans dragged along.....
  
  
  
  years later...
  
  david is drawing. he's an architect. you can see that age has started taking away his hair.
  
  diana, to help supplement their income, is a realtor.
  
  she comes beside him. lies down on the tiled floor and lays her head on david's folded lap. she gazes lovingly at him.
  
  'D. have i ever told you i love you?'
  
  'no.'
  
  'i love you.'
  
  'still?'
  
  'always.'
  
  and they are happy...
  
  one day diana comes across a piece of land. a perfect piece of land. alta vista.
  
  she comes home with the plans. it's perfect to build the dream house that david was designing for them.
  
  'but we can't afford it.'
  
  'yes. we can. we've just got to take up a loan like everyone else.'
  
  and so their dream house starts its construction.
  
  but then recession hits.
  
  david is fired.
  
  and nobody buys million-dollared houses anymore.
  
  the bank presses them for the money.
  
  forgetting his pride, david borrowed five thousand dollars from his dad.
  
  a meagre portion of the fifty thousand dollars they need to repay their creditors.
  
  that night in bed. both of them couldn't sleep. they laid there both thinking. worrying.
  
  suddenly david sat right up straight. grabs diana's hands.
  
  'di! get dressed! i know what we can do!'
  
  
  
  and to a place where people of all financial status flocked to.
  
  all to try their luck.
  
  LAS VEGAS.
  
  they strike big at the jackpot machines. they hug and kiss.
  
  jack goes over to the dice table. where three african american women are on a very very lucky streak. jack joins them and wins money too.
  
  elsewhere, diana has found good-quality chocolates on a bowl in a public area. the surroundings are decorated lavishly. a place....for the affluent.
  
  she hangs around the place. nibbling on a piece of chocolate.
  
  secretly though, she is grabbing a handful of chocolate.
  
  she proceeds to dump them into her bag.
  
  but. she is being watched by a man.
  
  she looks up and sees that someone saw her act. she looks sheepish and then breaks into a smile and walks away.
  
  she is now in store. a beautiful gown catches her eye. taking it down from the rack. she hangs the dress over her neck, hanger not taken away and dangling behind her neck.
  
  it's beautiful.
  
  she pulls her jacket lower down her arms to get a better view. and then her singlet.
  
  'why don't you try it on?'
  
  diana whirled around.
  
  it was the same guy who saw her snitching the chocolates.
  
  'well. i can't afford it...'
  
  'why don't i buy it for you?'
  
  'no. i don't think so. i better go.'
  
  she finds david at the same dice table we left him at.
  
  'hey D! look what i've won us! nine thousand dollars!'
  
  diana gave a delighted yelp and kissed him.
  
  'it need a little more of your luck.'
  
  david handed the dice to diana.
  
  diana slowly brings the dice to her lips and kissed it. looking up she finds the guy she met earlier on at the shop looking at her.
  
  david rolls the dice and yes! they've won yet again!
  
  they hug and kiss. out of the corner of her eye. diana sees the guy watching them embrace.
  
  
  
  it's ten in the morning.
  
  they sat glumly at the table having breakfast.
  
  'D. i'm worried.'
  
  'i know. how did we lose all that money?'
  
  diana sniffs and a tear rolls down her cheek.
  
  'hey D! look here.'
  
  David grabs a coin from their loose change on the table.
  
  'heads we go back and bet on our remaining chips. tails we head home.'
  
  the breakfast lady looks at them, shaking her head slightly. she has seen too many of such couples. what do you expect? it's vegas.
  
  david spins the coin. it landed on the table and he quickly covers it with his palm.
  
  lifting his palm up. it's heads.
  
  they look at each other.
  
  'we're going to do roulettes.'
  
  
  
  david placed a small stack of chips on red.
  
  'that's it D. we're going to bet everything 'rect?'
  
  diana gives a small hopeful smile and nods.
  
  'i'm going to roll now.'
  
  said the casino employee. he rolls the roulette wheel and throws the ball in.
  
  the ball spins round and round.
  
  black. red. black red. black. red. black. red.
  
  suddenly, david stands up and moves all the chips to black.
  
  'david! what are you doing?'
  
  'it's black! it's black! no! it's red! go with your instinct man!'
  
  and he shifts the pile of chips back to red.
  
  'no more changing of bets allowed!'
  
  bellowed the employee as the wheel slows down.
  
  black. red. black. red. black. red. black. it's red! but then it tithers over to the groove beside.
  
  it's black.
  
  in shock. diana reaches for the chips and shifted it to black.
  
  'i'm sorry lady. you cannot change your bets anymore. the wheel has stopped.'
  
  with that, he sweeps the chips to his side of the table. and starts arranging it.
  
  
  
  
  david and diana gets up to leave vegas.
  
  but. they are drawn to a crowd gathering around one of the tables.
  
  they pushed their way to the front.
  
  it's that guy!
  
  'D. let's go.'
  
  the guy was clearly someone very very wealthy.
  
  'that's john gage. the billionaire. his chips are ten thousand dollars a chip!'
  
  offered the stranger next to them.
  
  john wins this round. he looks up and see diana.
  
  diana turns to go away.
  
  but john calls out.
  
  'hey mister. may i borrow your wife?'
  
  then adds.
  
  'for luck.'
  
  david stares at him.
  
  'well. you've gotta ask her yourself.'
  
  'i think not.'
  
  the crowd groans. come on lady!
  
  reluctantly diana joins john at the table.
  
  'fleece him if you can!'
  
  shouts the stranger. then turning to david.
  
  'i wouldn't let her go if you asked me. you sure she's gonna come back after this?'
  
  
  first week of the three months hols!
  Tuesday, May 16, 2006
  wokay! it's been such a long time since i last blogged! as in the normal paste-all-the-photos-i-have-and-just-write-abit kind of blogging..
  
  so here goes!
  
  really nice sunset seen while waiting for the lift to come...
  
  
  8 may 06, monday
  
  was supposed to meet puaysian and have a chill out day with him..BUT at 9am..my job agent person woke me up for work! supposed to start at 11am at The Gateway...
  
  guess what company?
  
  
  yeap! MASTERCARD!
  
  job: receptionist
  time: 11am to 5pm
  rate: $7 per hour
  total earned: $42 (CPF not taken off yet)
  
  it was a good job to have! i had to help the receptionist there, rebecca, answer calls and receive visitors. the thing was..as it was the headquarters they didn't have much visitors...
  
  and calls were rather easy to be transferred as they were many more asian ppl working there compared to my last job at datacraft asia...
  
  problem was..i was so used picking up the phone saying 'good afternoon. datacraft asia.' i almost said the wrong campany name like many times...
  
  i went like, 'good afternoon. err. mastercalll.' oopsy!
  
  on the way home, i passed a field with many cows! look!
  
  
  
  9 may 06, tuesday
  
  was my chill out day with puaysian..was pretty fun! i blew a eupho mouthpiece!
  
  on the phone home, i saw the cutest cat EVER!
  
  
  its fur was the patchwork kind, but it was really a mess of brown, black and white...not very outstanding...
  
  but it took my breath away......
  
  10 may 06, wednesday
  
  spent the afternoon packing the house..then vacuming the floor..BOY! is there lotsa dust lying around...
  
  haa..my mum wrote something on the piano...using her finger and the layer of dust over it...
  
  it read, 'agnes and bernice are very lazy'
  
  !!!
  
  well..i cleaned off the layer! so now bernice is the lazy one!
  
  i somehow find that i'm the only one in the house who packs! grrr....
  
  went to meet the pharmacy girls in the evening to celebrate weiling's bdae...
  
  somehow i didn't take any photos!
  
  the 6 of us went to Hans..then we headed to the Skin Food shop and then to U2 where yingjia got a little something for her new other half and a matching pair to go with too!
  
  reached home rather early at 10pm...cause sock hoon wanted to catch her da changjin!
  
  11 may 06, Thursday
  
  had a second job assignment....
  
  dragged myself out of bed at 6.45am to head for newton...
  
  it was at Goldbell Towers..
  
  
  haa..working for Dumex this time...
  
  
  job: erm...admin but mainly filing and shredding...
  time: 8.30am to 5.30pm
  rate: $6.50 per hour
  total earned: $52 (CPF not taken off yet)
  
  i sat in the big boss' office doing the menial stuff..felt so overwhelmed! on the other hand, the chair i was sitting on was rather comfy!
  
  
  
  
  
  okay money for the slack work...i mean other than having to lift heavy stuff from the capboards to the table...how hard can filing and shredding be?
  
  but i was super tired at the end of the work day anyways...
  
  and my heels were killing me!
  
  but i still went to meet puaysian at.....
  
  bustling orchard!
  
  
  we dined at pepper lunch...
  
  
  very expensive lae!!! for fried rice...and you have to cook it yourself somemore...
  
  i no like!
  
  from where we sat, we could see yoshinoya..
  
  if you squint hard enough...think you should be able to read the black words on the promotional poster...
  
  
  anyways..it reads, 'stay awake with yoshinoya'
  
  puaysian says at a glance, it looks very much like, 'stay away from yoshinoya.'
  
  it does! doesn't it?
  
  the guy!
  
  
  and tired me!
  
  
  he had some funny name beef set...
  
  
  and i had erm..i think it's called black pepper beef rice set...
  
  
  haa...it looks alot like Liv Tyler is drinking from the straw doesn't it?
  
  
  waiting for my blistered legs to rest...i think the tee looks quite nice on him lae..he doesn't think so...boo!
  
  
  12 may 06, friday
  
  was supposed to go swimming but it poured!!!
  
  so we stayed home except for dinner at macdonalds!
  
  yay! curly fries are back at macs! far cry from the tasty A&W ones..but still curly fried all the same!
  
  my mum was packing her wardrobe and she found my dad's old raybans! sans one side of the lenses..
  
  bernice and me fooling around with it!
  
  
  
  
  i think she looks rather good in aviators lae..on the other hand think i better stay away from them!
  
  13 may 06, saturday
  
  WANTED to wake up early to get my mum's fave char kway teow from opposite TJ since mother's day was around the corner..
  
  but i overslept and woke up at 9am instead! gosh! my alarm clock seriously doesn't work on me anymore!
  
  the hawker centre opp TJ..the char kway teow there is REALLY good...
  
  
  walked around the wet market trying to look for a florist...
  
  
  
  gosh! i haven't been to wet markets for some time now...and i realised that wet markets are no longer wet! the floor was pretty dry and the smelly smell of the market seemed to have diminished a great deal!
  
  the florist was a very small one..mostly selling flowers for prayer...
  
  so i decided to go to bedok central market..cuz i know the florist there sold bouquets that are nice and affordable!
  
  while waiting for the bus to the interchange...i spotted this lady with super long toenails...
  
  
  she had them painted stripes of candy colours..and i couldn't look away! it was a fascinating sight! i had to constantly pretend to swipe away flies so that i had an excuse to look down...
  
  this is the florist i was talking about! i realised there were two stalls side by side when i reached...so i chosed the one with fresher pink roses!
  
  
  ta-dah! happy mother's day mummy!!!
  
  
  after that i headed to suntec nydc to meet up with my tkgs band section mates!
  
  
  was super late! shijia, fenting and ivy had already finished their lunch by the time i reached! fortunately clara came later too...heeps!
  
  after that..i had alumni band..
  
  derrick is not playing anymore because of his national day rehersals! DRATS!
  
  i so feel like not going for band anymore..with all the pro ppl gone...i feel damn insecure lar...
  
  and lately this is what i've been up to...
  
  
  yikes..it looks rather dirty but it's really not that dirty...
  
  it IS rather old though...i started this when i was in sec 2...
  
  yeah..little ambitious me! trying to complete a 6 ppl cross stitch...
  
  at the end of sec 2, i only completed the guy with the yellow bowtie...
  
  last year, however! i started on the two person on his right!
  
  haa..and i found it again this year after packing my place! so i'm hoping to finish as much as i can before i lose the interest and it goes into hibernation somewhere under my desk again...
  
  going blading with sher and huilin later!
  
  puaysian is so happy i found other ppl to go blading with..haa!
  
  anyway more updates later...
  
  
  hiatus
  Sunday, May 14, 2006
  haven't been updating for so long!!!
  
  somehow the urgency to blog isn't as much as in the past...perhaps that's cuz i've a huge aching problem in my head!
  
  but be patient..maybe check back in a day or two...i'll have something dished out...
  
  for myself to remember...
  
  
  stuff so far...
  Sunday, May 07, 2006
  haven't been blogging much these few days but it's cause i've been trying to write a summary for this super nice movie i watched on tv...
  
  yeah..except..my summary isn't really a summary...
  
  IT'S TAKING LIKE SO LONG!
  
  haa..think i'm going to lose the enthusiasm to complete it soon..
  
  last friday i went with bernice to the tampines starbucks to study...
  
  i think it's one of the nicest starbucks cafe around in singapore.
  
  it's like a building by itself..with cut in holes in the roof for natural light to come through...
  
  
  same ol' mocha frap...
  
  
  i brought my mags to study! haa...my mother has been on a mag-buying frenzy recently..i'm not complaining!
  
  
  haa..bernice trying to look excited by a afternoon of bio text reading..ha ha..nice try!
  
  
  just before we stepped into starbuck..i accompanied bernice to popular to get her history guidebook..
  
  omg! the amount of money these book publishers get these days from students pia-ing from exams is exorbitant!
  
  
  and i guess i know that this is good business..look at the amount of guidebooks! yeah..these are not TYS-es....sca-ry!
  
  
  poor thing! haa..study hard!
  
  
  haa...studying magazines is so hard! tee hee!
  
  
  bernice in her jay chou chair.....
  
  
  haa..i got bored after awhile and started taking lots of photos!
  
  
  and i bought a new pair of footwear...it looked very nice at the shop but somehow the nxt day it sort of lose its appeal to me...boo! i so hate it when that happens....feel like plucking out the strap over the big toe!
  
  
  today when my father was driving me, my mum and my grandma to my uncle's place, i saw this nice new jaguar in front...it's like so nice and sleek!
  
  
  my uncle has three cats!!! yay!
  
  
  this is the latest cat they've adopted.....
  
  
  the last time i saw this cat, it was just a kitten...
  
  
  this one too...they grow so quickly!
  
  
  the three of them! i lurve cats!!! meow!
  
  
  truck with many many prickly brooms!
  
  
  sat in the front seat today...wanted to get a feel of how driving would be like...
  
  
  
  didn't really like it too...got to take note of so many things! and have to signal! i really like sitting in cars..but only when there's someone else driving....
  
  
  Saturday, May 06, 2006

  my throat hurts.
  
  my eyes hurts.
  
  it's 4.39am.

  argh!!!!!!!!!!!!
  
  
  blading!
  Friday, May 05, 2006
  so finally exams are over...
  
  sigh! i don't feel that excited..it seems as though this holiday is going to be a boring one!
  
  what with puaysian going away to sail...carmen moving to canada for majority of the hols...
  
  boom! there goes two of my closest friends...two less people i know i can just call out spontaneously...
  
  you know..like when you wake up in the morning..and you just want to go out..just call these two people and i know my chances of heading out will be like sky high...
  
  carmen is gone......yes already......she flew on the day of my last paper...at a freaking 8am....
  
  have to spend the rest of the little time puaysian is on dry land with him!
  
  but it seems as though there's not enough time...up til now it has been my mugging for exams...then he has all his admin matters to settle..boo!
  
  but he has kindly gone blading with me today!!! haa..i know how much he hates doing something he's not good at..nxt time we'll go cycling kay? then u can do all your no hands on bike riding but i'll still scream if you come too near me!
  
  okay..picture update!
  
  monday went swimming....same nice place.....
  
  i got dragged out of bed by my parents at 7.48am....zZzZ...
  
  it was a sunny monday morning...perfect weather for swimming...
  
  
  nice old erm...house?
  
  
  my family used to eat there alot...cause the restaurants taking over that place were ALWAYS changing...but somehow they all offered buffet..so we flocked like sheeps there after swimming!
  
  speaking of buffet...i don't think i can tahan any buffets since the time i got gastric...sigh!
  
  i rem the last time i ate so much i felt like exploding was the steamboat thingy at sab's house..when i reached home..i felt like puking like the whole night! what with my stomach rumbling non-stop too..i was in throes of pain the entire night...
  since then, i couldn't bear to eat too much...
  
  when the food was good, i'll tell myself...
  
  'agnes..control ah....'
  
  okay..yakking nonsense...
  
  next up!
  
  cute pink bus i saw on the way to the library with bernice...
  
  
  we got a shock when we stepped out of the library...
  
  before we stepped in...it had threatened to rain like for 3 hours...
  
  after we stepped out...lightning thunder POURING rain! our weather has a rather good sense of humour...
  
  so we dropped by S-11 for lunch...yummy herby chicken horfun!
  
  when i'm with my sister sometimes we do the weirdest stuff...
  
  haa..for some reason..when we were eating our horfun..suddenly we did a foodshow hosting ala gurmit and michelle in makan places lost and found...
  
  'mmm...this is good isn't it?'
  
  'yeah..the sauce taste just a tad bit herb-y...'
  
  'yeah..just the right amount..the herb-y taste isn't too strong or too faint...'
  
  'wait a moment! is there such a word as herb-y?'
  
  *piaks!*
  
  lucky there were just ah peks and the female version of ah peks around us!
  
  and my mum bought my camomile tea for me!!!
  
  
  so sunshin-y! oh yeah..did u know camomile will prevent menstrual cramps? but you have to drink it at least 5 days before IT arrives...
  
  
  and look what crazy bernice drew for her bio practical!
  
  
  for a moment i thought it was printed..then i (erm..what's the word bernice always uses..i think it's chua tiok)...yeah i got stunned for a moment when i realised she drew it!!!
  
  so nice! crazy! deserves a close up!
  
  
  
  
  so that's where all my drawing genes went to...it was saved up in my parents' genetic make-up for her!
  
  which leaves me with.....plenty of 'fail' and 're-do' on the back of my drawing block during primary and secondary sch!
  
  after exams on wed..
  
  went to play pool with huilin and weiling at lucky plaza...
  
  at the adjourning arcade, we saw this man playing with this machine...
  
  
  you have to insert tokens into the machine...the tray inside keeps moving of course..when you've inserted in just the right amount of coins...you will cause one whole load of coins to drop out of the machine...
  
  the few mins i stood there..that lucky guy had SO MUCH coins dropping out! he made it look so easy...
  
  met puaysian after that for dinner...steamboat!
  
  me fiddling around with his headphones...gosh! the eyebags! i just realised every last day of exam paper i'd be wearing my black and white top!
  
  
  went blading with puaysian today...gosh! blading is just-so-difficult! it's like i go fast..then suddenly i lose my balance...then i go fast..then i lose my balance and it repeats and repeats and repeats until my toes get cramped up in the blades and it just...ARGH!
  
  maybe my technique is wrong?
  
  i think i love coconut trees...it just makes you feel relaxed doesn't it?
  
  
  me and the big guy! haa..i love his nerdey look now...so cute!
  
  
  i still love blading though..it's just the little moments....
  
  like when there was this 10 secs when i was gliding along...the wind blowing in my hair..just makes me go 'awwwww...' then...................i lose my balance!
  
  east coast park was rather deserted today...
  
  
  
  but i met grace from KR and dear cuicui!!!
  
  haa...it was about 5 secs after i saw cuicui that it registered in my head that it was her...
  
  she was on bike so she was quite a distance away when i shouted out her name...
  
  then she went, 'who are you?'
  
  i'm sad! haa..no lar..but she rode back to say hi! we'll go out soon!!!
  
  okay..i'm losing the enthusiasm to blog just RIGHT NOW...so that's it!
  
  i'll be back another day to yag bout stuff...
  
  going to find out more about driving lessons now.....
  
  
  just get it over and done with mans!
  Tuesday, May 02, 2006

  yay!!! but the horrible part is i've finished less than half of what i'm supposed to do!!! argh!
  
  i foresee....a whole night of studying looming ahead!!!
  
  yay yay yay!! no more studying for three months!!
  
  
  my new shelf!!!
  Monday, May 01, 2006
  I AM SO IRRITATED!!!
  
  everyone has ended exams but me!!!
  
  like hello??!!? i wanna go shopping too!!! i wanna have fun too!!!
  
  argh! and it doesn't help that the next paper is all about memorising facts...with topics like 'communication skills, pharmacy care, continual professional development (gosh! i'm not even sure whether CPD stands for this cause i haven't started studying at all!)...
  
  yeah..how does one even start studying?
  
  and i might be going swimming tmrw!! yayee yay! that is if...my mother can wrang me up from bed before noon!
  
  oh yeah..i forgot to add that i met serena in town on friday too!!! haa..walked around for short time with her...hopefully we'll catch up soon!
  
  and i bought a tee!!! haa..oops! i did do a little shopping too!
  
  from where else but F.O.S.! lately all my tees have been from there!
  
  
  it's green! gosh! i know i've swore off green after having wore a green uniform for 6 years! but it does stick with you after awhile..i miss wearing uniforms...no need for planning your outfit in advance of a sch day...
  
  
  
  
  and some random photo i found in my phone..puaysian was just across the road from me and he was waving to me with a big red bright umbrella in his hand! haa..so funny! this suv had to block it all! argh!
  
  
  and on saturday..some workers came to my house to fix up the cistern in my parents's bathroom and my father borrowed their drill and fixed up my ikea shelf for me! at last! it's been lying under my bed for at least 6 months!
  
  
  haa..two hours later i've finished moving everything back to my desk! yay!!!
  
  
  haa..my line-up!
  
  
  yay..my accessory bowl finally has a space! gotta find all the loose earrings around my room now...and dump it all there! oh...and if you didn't know..i'm a britney fan!
  
  
  and i found my collection of old and present vaseline bottles! two gone cause they were so old! and before u go ahead and think what i do with so much vaseline..haa..i used them like good old lipgloss before i go to bed...that way they don't get so dry when i wake up in the morning! oh..and that's ashlee you see there at the back..i'm a ashlee simpson fan too!
  
  
  the oldest one of all! guess what..i think there was this oil-loving bug living in it...i spotted it swimming around the melted goo inside! euyuch! it had legs so i'm pretty sure it was a bug!
  
  
  the second bottle..haa..either i take very long to finish using a bottle or vaseline like change their bottle design super often!
  
  
  and my current one! i bought the bigger bottle since i use so much of it! it's more than half gone now!
  
  
  and i found a very dusty piggy (given by the st pats peeps) sitting on my plastic storage box..i tried vacumming the dust off it but it was in vain!!! and then..i got smart..haa...
  
  
  i discovered that its peejays could be taken off! off to the machine!!!
  
  
  
  i even discovered it cute little bellybutton for the very first time!
  
  
  yay!! there's space even for my lappie now! but there's still lotsa junk under the desk! need to visit ikea for my storage solutions!
  
  
  went for band after that...gosh! i'm starting to hate band..i miss the old days in tkgs when i could still go round before or after band talking to people from other sections...
  
  but now it's like..the percussionists are totally cut off from the band..erm..of course there are some exceptions..but to a last extent..we don't communicate well with the rest of the band..i even dislike some of the other people in band...
  
  was bringing up that thought to shijia bout how different it is from tkgs when she reminded me that it was because there were so many people in my class who were in band too that's why i knew the people from the other sections...
  
  other than that..it's pretty much the same..she told me that percussionists and the rest of the band don't really mix much...
  
  sigh! bummer! come to think of it...there were at least 10 ppl in band in my classes all four years of my sec sch life!
  
  so band has lost it touch of excitement for me..i dunno..it's like i couldn't even read the score properly! i swear i was scanning for when my next part would come during the song...AND cork eye me! i didn't see it until that part has pass! and my sense of rhythm now is like pretty bad! and i'm like in what section???!!!
  
  oh anyway i went to my grandma's place today...just like every sunday!
  
  and me and my sis got bored during the news after american idol and began to take photos!
  
  
  
  bernice's sian-go-away face!
  
  
  haa...it's so funny i had to put this up!!!
  
  
  
  went to TM for dinner after that..
  
  my dad and sis hanging around outside eu yan sang after that..scrutinising birdnest huh! my sis is adamant that she's wearing the summer colours of MNG last year...
  
  
  and my mum has finished washing the piggy's peejays!
  
  
  oh no oh no!! i've like no mood to study at all! and my slp cycle is totally wrecked!
  
  couldn't sleep until 4 plus AM on friday...then yesterday..i crashed at 11pm! haa..first time this year i slpt at like literally night time!
  
  gonna mug for the weird pharmacy practice and cram all those supposedly-relevant-facts-for-a-pharmacist-to-know before i get sleepy...
  
  nitey y'all!
