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

okay the last bits that happened before the exams start and when all hell broke loose.

bitbit is such a cutie..she runs to my bed and sits on it, waiting for me to go to bed.

spied this nice pair of heels at aldo, but it's crazily-priced at 189 bucks


spent the rest of sept hols working at this film co, which was filming Dance of the Dragon, featuring fann wong. it was quite thrilling coz it was at this shophouse at Mohammad Sultan Rd. and i managed to catch a glimpse of robin leong and hollywood actor er oops forgot his name..


Sept 07 was our last break for the sem. tests were starting even before the sch hols..damm!
haven't been blogging much of the last half year so here goes!

right before the sem started, met up with the perc gals just to chat and have a final meetup before andrea headed to sweden for her exchange. met up at tcc bugis, a really nice place with er really expensive food. haha...but we had a really nice chandeliered booth to sit in..so head to tcc only in large groups to snag those booths. anyways andrea is coming back real soon..jan 11 to be exact! how fast time seems to pass...



bee wearing a little miss xxx shirt that bangkok was full of..here was me just after i got back from nepal..so much darker than bee can!


first week of school saw me going to ntu with joy and niron. them for biobiz, me for visiting friends!


cuis brought me to her room..looks alot like my room in KR but alot cosier!


still in the first week of school, bee and i were inspired to hit all the newer shopping haunts.


rem this photo..bee was inspired to shoot her own funky shot here


so here are bee's jumpshots at the same place!


anyways we were heading to HAJI LANE! really cool place at the quieter side of Bugis..



they have really funky bags..


and clutches...


funky shop fronts...


as well as classy graffiti on the walls...





headed to Far East after that to cut my hair at this place called J Salon. they're supposedly renowned to cut short hairstyles from gals with long hair. so i thought it was worth a shot to head down there...haha..it turned out alright..okay great in fact!



but having short hair with no time to bathe in the morning is recipe for depression man! grrr...i always wake up with hair that is flicked up at both sides..damm irritating!

had to work the nxt day but my hair was not behaving so i rem getting myself full-priced earrings from topshop. retail therapy really works.


then there was the annual health minister talk..sat in the stalls this time so couldn't talk much. it ended up being a good chance to catch up on sleep instead.


that weekend i rem going for dragonboating as well! i remembered leaving with damm sore arms and being very wet coz it was raining.

went for fashbash right before dragonboating with the bee!


held lime flea the following week..made quite a profit as we had a really good stall space!


bernice wearing MY top that she rescued frm being sold at lime flea. and looking really spiffy here at river island.


my mum bought something from raffles hotel ah teng's bakery that looked like it had maggots growing on them...


i'm not kidding..i was quite shocked when i first saw it too...


the day after lime flea the perc gals met once again to celebrate shijia and cuicui's birthdays.


we had the vegetarian buffet at Quality hotel and boy was the food scrumptious. i must had have like 7 cups of herbal jelly or something..


cuis at the little dimsum corner. they have the nicest carrot cake i tell ya..


lime-green dumplings that i never touched all night..


after we had our fill, it was gift time..we couldn't make vids like shijia could so we decided to give her a card filled with pics instead.


i snagged a photo with the bdae gals!


we stayed and chatted so long we sorta got chased out of the restaurant coz they had to close. and they it was crazy photowhoring time.

yesyes huiping lurves me man...




and because me missed andrea's presence at our bdae gathering..we did a W-M-U-A!


which obviously stands for we miss you andrea!

and i took Bahasa Indonesia this sem which was seriously alot of fun. this was when our ibu (teachers) were giving card with emotions that we must say in Indonesian.


went cycling with Bee in August as well..think i've blogged about it before...




had Biobiz the nxt day..dragged my aching thighs down to Buona Vista..here was us all squeezing into the cargo lift for a peekture!


joy and i found a source of cheap thrills on niron's mac..


we laughed so hard over these photos man...


this was taken another day, when maymay and cheralyn were introduced to the joy of image warping...

cheralyn looking sooo different everytime..



and there goes August, a time where i was still enjoying myself coz schoolwork wasn't as bad yet.

Right..the closing post of the year. The few usual questions are played out in everyone's head. What have I done this year? How far have I come from the last? What do I want to see change?

To put it plainly, this wasn't a good year for me. The worst in fact, not considering the two hell years in JC. However, it was also one of the more fulfilling years for me.

The year kicked off with me fresh back from Japan and wanting all the more to get back there. The rest of the hols were spent working at Glencore, the workplace with a view. haha..if the bee reads this, she'll know the view means more than a 34 floor view of the Singapore flyer.

school was great..not in the results sense though.....
got to know more pharm people espcially joy and niron..had much fun and laughter with them. i guess the thing that made us closer was the NEPAL trip!! which reminds me that i should blog about it soon.

uni life seems to fly the older i am..and i'm not at all happy with it. i lurve sch life, i love going to school and finding that dearest socky has reserved seats for me right smack in the middle of the LT, i love just giving up trying to pay attention to the lecturer and chatting with joy instead, i love having lunch tgt on the round tree tables talking about crap such as weird names for our future children i.e. titanium..mercury.., i love my lab grouping with all the funny, humourous gals around me who all chiong to go home asap and i love my easygoing lab partner chiew lei!

the only thing i hate about school is the tests and exams. i just can't seem to compete with the rest of the smart ppl in pharmacy, no matter how hard i try and it's seriously depressing. if i can memorise one chapter of patho, they can memorise line for line 5 chapters of patho....
that's why i'm grateful for joy who keeps me grounded, who tells me to just do my best and be happy that no matter what results i get, i've put in the effort and really, that's all that matters.

results have been crap as well..when my best results belong to modules that are not pharm modules, i guess it must be telling me something ain't it? owells! new year, new sem, time to see whether my brain is still working for pharm...

then there was preceptorship, it wasn't the most fun thing i must admit, but i guess that at least if my results don't serve to get me some nice office pharm job or a job in cosmetics, i wouldn't mind being in retail. totally hate the standing and irrgular work hours, but chatting to the store people and the occasional nice customers was really enjoyable.

nepal was real swell too..fell in love with the fishtail lodge so much so that i promise myself i'll be back there one day..okay shall not rant about nepal here. want to really blog about it. a little late though...

on the guy front, i finally ended it with him. i know he's a real decent guy and will be a really great hubs to someone in the future, but right now all we need is a breather and time to regather our feelings i guess.

a great thanks to ppl like bee, joy and sj who have been my pillar these last half of the year..

one thing i'm glad i did is to chop off my hair. mixed reviews from people...one thing though, short hair is a nightmare to manage when you've just woken up from bed, many a times i've felt like shearing them all off! but looking back at the photos for the year, i guess i'm more suited for long hair. it was thrilling though seeing the hairdresser cut off what seems like 30cm of hair in a blink.

on the friends and people front, i seem to have more time to spend with friends and it's all been really good. met up with vels for a night out...had great xmas meals with the pharm ppl, tk gals and of course family. have to blog about those too. one more thing though is that i've grown fonder of my jc class. been chatting to them online, hilarious conversations there. had supper too at simpang, playing those sit in a circle orientation games and doing the weirdest forfeits.

what's been really bad this year was sleep, exercise..aye basically my health. the first half of the yr wasn't too bad but with hell sem the second half the of the year. i guess if i accumulated all the sleep i had and spread it out evenly, i'd have like what er 3 hours of sleep a day..think i've put on 3 years to my face due to the lack of sleep. and sleep is supposed to be aid for weight management. went to nepal, lost some weight then promptly put back 5kg after that. ):

driving test was horrendous. i knocked down a pole during parallel parking so you should be able to guess whether i've passed or failed right? hurhur...

so anyways in the new year, i hope for a more healthy lifestyle. more sleep, more exercise. haha yeah quite boring laa..but i cannot afford to let my face put on more years. also better time management, and the right sense of mind to prioritise my activities.

so good riddance to 2007...i can't wait for 2008!
today's a special happy day.

haha..a day where i'm gonna get stuffed and gain some kilos..

anyways this week was meant for me to relax and get my much-needed rest from this really hectic sem. but it turned out sooo busy i hardly have time to sleep!

did so much shopping over the last few days that my feet hurts whenever i walk.

okay from now on there will be less dark & twisty agnes here. hoping i could start blogging with pictures again..the last sem really zapped me of energy to picture blog.

will do so during the weekends i guess..so lurves!
