~Chocolate donut~

nothing beats a chocolate donut stall no. 2 after a long draggy day at school.... mmmmmmmm~MH! Fresh, crispy (lagi-oily-but-i-can't-resist-kinda-crispy) but spongy on the inside donut, topped first with a layer of milky white chocolate, then with another layer of plain but rich chocolate - so U end up with a thick, creamy, heavenlicious coating that when you lick off, forms a luxurious velvet glove around the tip of your long tongue. waaaaahhhh seehhhhhhh... auntie and uncle of stall no. 2, i kowtow to you.

I think thursdays will be the hardest day of the week to get through :'( Sucky gems in the morning and then I'm faced with a 3 hour break. SIAN ARH!!! Stupid me. What a stupid choice to make between Understanding weather, Psychology and Maths games! Should have avoided the word "maths" at all costs. As if business course not enuf maths topics lydat man! oh, MAN!

Stoopid stoopid stoopid stoopid stoopid stoopid stoopid stoopid stoopid. :'C Heeeelp... I feel very dumb. bad choice bad choice blaaaady bad choice.

ARRrHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh....

At least yesterday's training was daamn shiok. Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Started at 6pm and ended up playing til 9.15pm. Three solid hours leh! Me and xiaoqian first time play til face-red-red. Yup. It's play. So fun! Especially mixed doubles, which started at abt 8pm :D Weijian partnered with Xiaoqian and Shenwei partnered with me. I dunnoe how many sets we played... but it seemed to go on forever. I couldn't even keep track of the score coz from the moment training started at 6pm, I felt whoozy already. Hahahaha, haze was heavy last night lar.

So when it was my turn to serve, I just served. I'm sure of one thing: I couldn't return any of Weijian's serves. So lousy :P HAahahaha... Only once by chance Hehe. And then the most paiseh thing happened - I served a ball and it hit my own face. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! So WACKKO I TELLU! Must be karma! Coz I laughed at Xianping when the ball hit her face during training at NUS toooooooo!! So this time, Yee shu and Jun Xiang who were sitting by the side of the hall observing us burst out laughing lor! Never miiiiind.... they will have karma toooooo.... Hahaha!

Anw I'm really blur leh. Shenwei kept saying, "it's ok, we'll win it back" when we lost a set, but I dunnoe who won in the end. I just played along maaaaa...

Coach's golden words last night : "It doesn't matter whether U win or lose, just do your best," HOR.

And Coach played with us also man!!! But of course if he played seriously, he could have easily beat us lar! He must have just been just checking Xiaoqian's standards and mine ba. HAhahahahaha! We were Soooo exhausted after playing dunnoe-how-many matches with them. Then Coach strolled over and said, "After U guys finish, I partner with U (xiaoqian)..."

Both of us EYE BIG BIG and we probably thought the same thing too : HUH! No BREAK! Wanna die liao! LOL.

Ok so this time round, I noe we won coz Uncle Cai (the coach) fang shui. Hehehehh... (3-0) I still think he's very nice despite wad's been said about him :)

ARHAHAHAHAA! I remembered something! AHahahahaahaha! Coz training was supposed to end at 9pm, but the 'tournament' with Uncle Cai took place from about 8.50 to 9.15. Then about the WHOLE TEAM was like sitting there and watching us man! AHAHahahahaha!!! It was like nobody dared to leave until he finished that match with us; I still remember the look on their faces! Everybody had about the same look. *WAh LAo ehhh, WHEN IS THIS GONNA END ARH?* HAHAHAHAHAHAHA - I feel sorry for them. I really do. :P

.
.
.

After our match ended, Xiaoqian and I sat down by our bags and cooled down while Shenwei played another match with a junior (i think). We both finally saw the importance of having tournaments among ourselves during training - things really feel different with the adrenaline rush and all... Then as Uncle Cai left, he took one look at us and went, "Wah, ur face (xiaoqian) very red leh... WAH! Urs (me) also very red leh! The both of U can compete already! Nearly as red as the floor.... (After we thanked him for playing with us) Can tell if the person had been working hard anot - see the face red u know liao...."

Went for a cold shower (shiok no. 2) and changed into fresh clothes before heading to Clementi for dinner/ supper with those living in the north/west. Reached home at 11pm, fell sound asleep by 12.30 (shiok no. 3). Best night's sleep I've had for a long while... Too bad I had to wake up so early for GEMS today!

Hahahaa, and now we've come full circle.

One rainy morning...

my eyelids sprang open. I stared at the ceiling and I could nearly feel my pupils dilating. A thought immediately fllashed across my mind...

"Today need to go school HOR?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

So, I fumbled around for my Hp. *Click* but it wasn't switch on yet. Pushed the power button. Ok. Taking too long to start up. Grabbed clock on table. Struggled to read off the poorly contrasted digital screen. <6.37> Waah, HENG ARH.

Went back to sleep.

Alarm finally went off. "Alarm 7.40 am, turn off/ doze?" Turn off. Lied on the bed a little longer. Hmm. Today 9am class hor. Wad time did shuping say we'd meet? 8.10. 8.10. Wait. 8.10. THEN WHY DID I SET 7.40am ARH?~ ahhhhhhh. Siao. Gonna be late for meeting up AGAIN arh!?

7.45. Went straight for shower. 8.00. Drying up. 8.10. Dressing up. 8.15. throwing wallet, Hp and radio into bag. 8.20 left the house. 8.25 reached CCK station. 8.35. Shuping reached. Quote from her: "Bus dun want to come." LOL.

Then on the platform, Shuping asked, "Eh, did U msg kailin??" Me,"Why? She same time as us go school meh???" Shuping looked like she could have throttled me there and then. Because kailin was going to have an op... I totally forgot. I even forgot the fact I went down to bugis last evening just "to see kailin only"... Hahaha. Ok la, I also managed to have dinner and supper with them lor. Eat until like siao.

Then went to cwp for movie after school. Watched The Banquet at 7.10pm. First, we chatted until it was 6.50 at Pasta Mania... Then we chiong to toilet. That's not all: we went to cold storage to buy drinks. Ok, den xianping and I went up first to buy tickets. Already 7.10. When we got up... "EH?! WAD HAPPENDED TO THE CINEMA!?"

Cannot find sia... Hahaha! Discovered it later at the far end of level 7... Ok, still not done yet.. now we were searching for the ticket boothe coz we didn't noe they combined it with the snacks booth. LOL. PeNgz Sia. By the time we stepped into the cinema we were on the dot!

Verdict on the movie: Profound, artistic, bloody, gory and nude-content-strewn. Dun get aarh? one simple word - CHIM. HAhahahahaha... Worth watching though :)

Turned Monday blues to Monday wooohoooos.

Waaaaaooooh. A week's passed so quickly... Went to scout around for furniture on wednesday BUT didn't pick out exactly wad I had in mind :( Ended up buying from novena. "Much cheaper and better quality" says my dad. Hahah, ok lor got new shelves good enuf already, right?

The furniture came two days ago... When I woke up this morning, the furniture was still in the living room. AHAhhahahahah! What I expect lar, they walk in to my room and position themselves mehhhhh.... Then went to meet shenwei and weijian at 11.10am. S.h.i.t. It seems like if I tried to be early or the very least punctual , i would DIE or something. Ook, in simpler terms, I'm never punctual! Pple must always wait for me! I dun understand myself man. *pulls hair*

Then when I got home at 8 or so, I walked into my room. I went "WAAH!", then "AAAAAHhhh" in my head.

"WAAH!" is becoz my old and furniture has been moved into place according to the floor plan I drew up.

"AAAAAHhhh" is also becoz my old and furniture has been moved into place according to the floor plan I drew up.

Like thanks for shifting my furniture for me. But after u shift, I dunnoe wad to do liao... my old shelves and cabinets haven't been cleaned out yet (they're still full of stuff). =S

Furthermore, I HAVEN'T TAKEN MY "BEFORE" PICS LEH! OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN~~!!!! HAHAHAHA. How?! Shud I ask my dad n bro to rewind and shift everything back to normal, move out the new ones so I can take one???? (rethorical question hor - don't needa answer. Lol)

School's reopening in 2 days. While I've heard alot of pple casually remark "sian, yao kai xue le.." I'm even more casual. Hahahaha! I'm more like "reopen, reopen lor..." Arghahahaha >.< foreva like dat lar.

Oh ya, went out with those 2 yesterday. Ahahahaha! Sure kennai slammed by them for calling them "those 2" :P But I really really really appreciate them and their company....

Althou one of them MUST learn to swallow before talking (or if this is too difficult to understand, JUST DON'T TALK WHEN U EAT LAR!!), and the other must trim and unstaticise the arm hair before going to Marina square (or else will keep zapping pple)

U 2 will noe who and wad I'm talking about. Give u face den dun mention ur names lor. Hehehehehehe... Muacx! Love "those 2".

Holiday wEll spent

Alot of things have happened lately... Happy and meaningful things I can say.

For one, I set up a blog for the maternal side of my family... It's to bring everyone together (becoz one aunt has a family in Australia & another is based in Hong Kong) and also for me to post the pictures I take of them on every gathering!

Then I'm following Pat's lead and re-vamping my room. Wow. I can see it now.

It's gonna have a Hi-fi stereo with FM radio, CD and DVD functions topped with a remote control. And there's gonna be a raised cushioned seat by the window that doubles as a cabinet, so I can sit on top of it and stare outside on cold and windy days... or when I'm having exam stress. In futre, I even see a flat screen plasma tv adjacent to my bed- a small one will do. I'll also be changing my book shelves to bigger and classier looking ones, preferably in deep romantic brown. They will have tinted, sliding glass doors, with a section for my sec 3 n 4 project works and english compos, another for my sec sch textbooks and assesments, another for my current lecture notes, another for my toys, another for my diaries, phonebooks and autographbooks, another for files, sketch books and arty-farty stuff. Then another cabinet will be located under my white board. Thats for my bags, which i have tonnes of. A glass display rack may also be erected to showcase the sweet presents I've received from my friends thru the years - it's about time I gave them a dignified resting place!

Teeeheeeheee... I'm so gonna do up room so dat I'll feel happier to return to it each day after school, and be even MORE so when revising thru my school work everyday. EVEYDAY. Ok, that's my new-sem-resolution. Please gimme ur fullest support. I really appreciate u for it.

I haven't seen my results yet. It's coming to a week since they've been released. I really dun dare this time. Last night I met Kah Hwee downstairs to pass her some cookies. When I told her dat I haven't checked, she said I'm very farni - the exact opposite of her sis. Her sis will sit in front of the com ten mins before hand and keep refreshing until she sees her results...

OK wad else...

Oh yes, I went to visit my paternal grandma yesterday! My Ah Mah... She's so looking much better. Her feet were no longer swollen, her pupils had return to darker shade of colour and she spoke with a zest and vigour - all a far cry of wad she was in her last hospitalisation. Her eyes were a translucent blue: beautiful but a horrific sign of nutrition lost. She could hardly keep her eyelids open whilst talking to us then. I suspect I feel relieved that she's better because it makes me less guilty for not wanting to visit voluntarily.

On Wednesday, I went for table tennis at NUS sports hall. Had a lot of fun there. I feel the bond that a team member is supposed to feel already. I really hope the other new girls will feel it soon too. And hope we'll soon feel comfortable enough to out not only for trainings! This needs effort from everyone, undoubtedly. Having problems with certain members now, but of course we all hope to ride over it before the tournaments. Again, I confess my selfishness- it's to lighten the pressure off my shoulders to win at every match ya noe?

Coming wednesday will be going to ikea to check out the new components of my room already. And Friday will be fabby3's night out! Woooo hooooo~! I can't get enuf of them. ;D

OK I'm starting to feel the uneasiness of not having my days filled up with ativities... Last weekend was like Crickey! I think I went out e.v.e.r.y.d.a.y. eventho things did not go as planned as I stated in my holiday schedule. We didn't go clubbing n won't be going either; we didn't have steamboat n won't be having it during this holiday and; I didn't get to go to sentosa a 2nd time! Maaaannn. Yilin's supposedly planning it. But with only less than 7 days to go... doubt it's gonna happen man.

I haven't blogged about the sleepover at limin's yet, have I? But I did post quite a number of photos on friendster so I take that as an account of wad I did lar. Btw, limin, that was by far the coolest sleepover I've experienced! ohhhh wait... that was the only sleepover I've ever had :S But thanx for the great memories n for being an amazing host (again). If I ever have the luck to live in a house like yours, that's exactly wad i'll use it for. Invite great friends over, play cards, drink up, get rowdy and silly, NOT sleep and then drag pple up early to watch sunrise by the beach... I noe everyone is thankful for wad I did lor. U're welcomed! LOL. Hey that morning while watching that perfectly round salted egg yolk appear slowly out of the sky, I had thot, if a bomb landed right on us and blew me up, I would have died happy. Seriously.

Gotta do it again man!

Chalet wif the table tennis team

**Paiseh... didn't know this post had a major error til today (16 sept)... some important parts were cut off lor. So here's the edited version. **

13th - 14th Sept


Hey Hey~! Went to Coasta sands for this chalet... Really really nice place, much better than Dowtown east chalet that 05 went to la! It's cheaper, has a pool and is more spacious...

Anyway, 6 of us met up in the morning at woodlands for all the food and stuff and went in 2 cabs. Rched at about 12.30 and sat it out at the lobby becos check in time is supposedly only at 2.30. Den cindy realised she didn't bring the NTUC income member card so price night became $170 instd of the internet rate of $90. Waoh she chua tio abit and tried to ask her relatives to come down at night =P But in the end the Chinese auntie let us off with $115 another internet rate... Heheh.

So we got to enter the chalet at 1.30 and waited and waited til abt 3.30 for xianping and huiling to turn up. next was cecilia and yick wei.

Didn't get any shut eye the whole night (usual thing during chalets la)... after the BBQ, the night walk, the Heart Attack by the pool and everybody went to shower, we gather in the bedroom. Usually during chalets, you'll tell ghost stories. Not during this chalet.

Wah Kaoz! We told lame jokes thru the night lar! LOL. I think we told from abt 12.30 to 4.30 lydat. >.<>

So after the jokes session ended, cindy and cecilia came in to sleep liao so xianping xiaoqian huiling and i went out of the room le... I dun quite rmb wad we did leh. HAHAHAHA, basically we just sat ard and... OH YA!!!! I RMB already! We chatted abt Orange with junxiang yee shu and wei long..... AaAaaahahahahaha! OH man, how can I forget abt that. Laggi hilarious lar. They taught us a new hand sign that night ;D

Went for a walk in the morning - as in the time tt the sun was supposed to rise. But we saw crap. Hahahahaha. When we got back to the chalet, no one was up yet. so we sat on the floor and hugged the wooden stools by the mahjong table n took a nap til abt 9am... The irriating thing is my legs kept falling asleep faster than my brain did. So very de ouch man.

At 9, we went to the lobby... first to check the internet, then we sat at the lobby and slept. Ahahahah no lar... talked more abt Orange lor. Poor thing lar. The effort she/he put in gained him/herself nothing but doubt and critism from us.

Saddest thing is the honey lemon he made for us got poured away in the end... LOL. Freaking comical la. When I walked into the chalet, shenwei was at the door. I said hey, Orange made Ai Xin honey lemon for us leh! Where is it arh? I wanna drink it le. Then he stunned for awhile and went "Oh shit! I poured it away la! I opened the flask and smelt it and thot it was something that went CAO SHNG"

OMGaaaaaawd!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAA, I can't believe it lor. Orange is really suay until lydat. Nth he did got appreciation.

Ok so we checked out at 10, had breakfast and went home happily after dat =D

Made up for lack of sleep in my 5 hrs nap at home le.

nautical frenzy

I went on a date last nigh with a stunning person. It's somebody you're familiar with.

Kailin laaaaaaarrr.

As the pple in our cliche pang seh us one by one, we decided to go out. Only the 2 of us leh! But it's ok, we feel comfortable wid each other *^-^* thats the most impt thing in a relationship.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAh, ok dun gross out.

AnYwAY... We had a FRUITFUL SHOPPING TRIP SIA! I kinda bought all the stuff I wanted to buy before I went to bankok but which I didn't get to buy there. So YEA! AWESOME!I bought ma hot wedges, a funky nautical bare bare, dat nautical pants AND a hot pair of denim shorts. like really - SHORTS. HEhehe! Nearly all clubbing material ;P

Speaking of FRUITFUL, our dinner was even more so! In a literal sense. We had Strawberry and Durian Struddel (beside the ICON) topped up Pumpkin Frappcino from Starbucks!

Ooooooh MA Sweeet sweeet life!

Family BBQ on 3 Aug

I really feel like just sayin the picture says it all... hheheh.

But I won't. So ok, this is my family BBQ - it's like a once in every two months or so thingy that brings together the Loke family and its extended members. Held at my uncle's apartment, good, NO NO NO, GREAT food is to be expected all the time. Great food from different parts of the world =D

Just this time, we had ostrich meat and venison from NZ, flown in fresh DAT VERY day. HAHAHAHAHA!

bangkok- My Metropolis

the post worth waiting for is FINALLLY HERE!!!!

WaH KAO shiiioooooook AARRRRRHHHHHHHH!! I spent 3 of my short shopping life's most fulfilling days in BANGKOK! It truly truly truly is the world's shopping capital - or at least MINE... Now I'm back, I can't wait to recount the wonders I experienced there. One great is that the Thais are Soooooo warm, hospitable and friendly, they made my visit there even more enjoyabe! "A land of smiles" without any doubts.

And the whole city just exuberates colours! Be it the food, the traffic, the buildings, the scenery, the merchandise, the people, yes, PEOPLE (in many sense) bursts forth with COLOURS. Bangkok is SO my kinda paradise!

DA food was OH MY GOODNESS. HAHAHAHA... If I wasn't still groggy from the 2 hour taxi ride to gawd-noes-where-this-place-was, I would have had fourth servings instead of just thirds.... hmph!

Suan Lum Night Market

Maboonkrong Shopping Centre

Heheheheh no pics for this - coz too busy searching for and buying all the stuff my friends requested for. But just as a short note, half of my returning luggage's weight came from here. And oh ya, i also spent half of my budget here! Power man!

Temple Visit

The amazing thing is that ALL types of flowers can be found here and they're going for just 30 baht - for TWO BUNDLES!!! That's like less than 2 sing dollars!!! MAN!!! Sunflowers, carnation, roses, giberas (i'm not sure how it's spelt) - u name it they've got it!

THE STUFF:

There's actually lots more... but those are clothes or stuff for my family so no use posting them ;)

my escapade with the moon

wooooo... i got home at around 5 today!

went on a moon gazing adventure. I left the house at 4.30 or so.... and spent the rest of the day at dear Pat's house. Had OH MY GOODNESS food cooked by Auntie! It's really OH MY GOODNESS.

Hahah, den as we waited for time to pass, i watched kim sam soon for the first time.

which i really regret.

not watching it before - it's soooo hilarious :D

Den i jumped up from the couch at 1.32am and saw a message on my phone that read, "How? Seeing now?" - sent at 1.15am

Waaaaaaaah Siao! I was like, start already meh!?

"Pat, we GOTTA go man!"

Chiong all the way the cheers to buy top-up card, only to find that it was "Out of stock, u can go to 7-eleven..."

then chiong all the way to Pat's fav park.

then we waited.

for the magic to happen.

and kah hwee to arrive.

we lied down at the kiddy-slides and stared up at the heavens, as i struggled like hell the scratch the foil off of the top up pin.

and struggled like hell to key in the numbers correctly in the dark and quickly so i dun miss out on anything that was happening.

as i kept my eyes peeled at the "man of the moment", my two companions and spontaneously-turned body guards kept theirs peeled at the 2 suspicious men in the back ground.

hahaha! yup this guy encircled us in the playground and got on everybody's nerves....

suddenly, it was over.

so was my escapade for that day.

off we went- first to kah's hse for a pee. literally. then to pat's hse for my luggage. and finally back to the retreats of my room.

the floor made a surprisingly good bed and that old hard bolster made a surprisingly good pillow in the cool of the night.

finally picked myself up.

from the floor after 1.30 this afternoon.

met up with kailin shups n wanyi for dinner at ajisen and went to shup's "green colour" house for kim sam soon... hahah, lidat oso song

One Sentence at a Time

Extract:

...

We can all benefit from giving our pyshces a metaphoric campfire around which to tell stories. one evening, instead of going to the video store and renting a story in a box, turn down the lights, lay back, and start: "Once upon a time..."

the practice
Sit down with a friend. get comfortable. taking turns, build a story one sentence at a time.

For example:
X begins: "five more weeks of work," geraldine thought.
Y cont's: the phone had been ringing all day.
X: she had left people on hold for minutes listening to Muzak and company advertisements.
Y: so by the time she had actually talked to them, they were and irritated and mean.
X: "five more weeks of work," she thought.
Y: salmon fishing in alaska.
X: last year, she had been the only woman on an eight-person trip.
Y: there, she had seen the black bear.
X: thats what everyone called him.
Y: he drove an eighteen-wheeler and smelled of cheap cologne.
X: he made the trip from missoula to anchorage three times a month
Y: and told her witty tales about his family.
X: she liked the way his eyes twinlked and was never one to care if a man had a family
Y: "five more weeks of work," she said as the phone rang again.
X: "then i'll be heading for alaska."

begin by keeping the stories brief. if you have some time to play, make up a few stories. then experiment with longer ones.

remember, don' t get attached to how u think the story should develop. follow your companion's input, allowing the partnership to have its own creative life independent of your personal wishes for the direcition the story could take...

... what makes collaboration so delightful is the element of surprise. let go of preconceptions as you work, and allow the story to unfold with your full participation but free of your control

Depression Party

My friend sheilah called and told me she was toohhhtally depressed. "me, too," i said, happy to have company. the one thing i cannot stomach when i am miserable is for a good friend to call and tell me how fabulously happy she is because everything in her life is going so well - she is having out-of-this-world sex with her husband and has just won a pulitzer prize and her parents, whom she adores because they have beem sooooo supporive of her career as an artist her entire life, are celebrating her success by buying her a house in tuscany and she has just lost 10 pounds. that, i cannot stand. so i was pleased to hear that sheilah was in the dumps, and we spent a half hour on the phone complaining about how our relationships were crumpling and our careers were going nowhere and how we gained five pounds by eating celery and only on very rare occasions dropping into the see's on fourth street where they give you a free chocolate even if you are just browsing the truffles.

"We have to doooo something," sheilah, who is a jazz vocalist, crooned. we thought about going to the ocean but since we lived in the bay area and it was summer that the beach would be dripping with fog, which would make us even more depressed. a movie? couldn't bear the thought of sitting in a dark room with people eating popcorn. finally, we landed on the notion of throwing a party - a depression party.

We told our guests to wear black and we served black food: black caviar, black sesame crackers, black bean dip, black coffee, dark chocolate. we had black plates and black napkins and black candles. and when anyone asked how you were, you had to say you were terrible, horrible, awful , and complain about all the disgusting, demoralizing, deflating, disease-ridden events happening in your life: traffic school, tragic romance, global warming, finacial disaster, unending colds, flea infestations, root canals, career dives. after only a few minutes of kvetching, poeple started to feel much better and when asked how they were, they were desperate to say, "fine i'm having a great time," but we wouldn't let them.

Finally, we could not utter one more word of bad news, and giddiness welled up inside us, and we put on loud music, and we danced.

Cycled on my own

Waoh how many times have i posted today?

Anyway, i feel kinda recharged after my 3 hours of "me" time. After my previous post, I went out at around 7.15 alone... when I came back home, it was 10.15.

Where was I for three hours?

lets see...

I rode to the left of my blk... took another left turn and went around siyun's estate (towards southview primary) before taking a right and heading to some fire station...

which is the route towards Bukit Batok!

anyway, i was just determined to cycle to places i've been before. so i just let the roads and traffic lights lead me... I didn't contemplate too much, just went where the lights are green and the road was sraight.

in the end I saw... the neon blue sign board of Bukit Batok Driving centre..

Dats when I thot... woah, better turn back, before I reach west mall and wanted to shop. HAhahaha... So I crossed over and taking a route opposite of the one I arrived from.

Just as reach the fire station again, where I could turn back into the road where palm gardens faces, I thot... wad the heck, it's too soon to go home. So I rode straight.

And that road led to Bukit Panjang. I turned back at Sheng Siong (ten mile junction) and rode along teck whye, pjc, cck polyclinic...

Den I headed to cck park.

I spent almost an hour there... I found a comfortable bench where it's not too dark but also not too exposed... I layed my bike down until it's seat was propped just above the bench. I kicked off my shoes and rested my head on my bike seat. Hehehehe! Clever hor!?

Then I tried to sleep... But too unnerving... altho there were joggers and couples and aunties and uncles walking around, i had my pouch with me and there was no where i could hide it.

So i wud close my eyes fer awhile but they'd flicker open when i heard footfalls. Anw the seat wasn't exactly a soft fluffy pillow too noe? So i stared at the trees and the stars and the lamps that outshone the stars :S

So from about 8 to 9 i laid there, trying to be one with nature. Hahahahaha!!

Then towrds the end, i felt tiny insects trying to get fresh with me le. So I sat up and started to suspect it was the doing of ants.

For some "lucky" reason, I LOOKED before I stepped into my shoes... ARGGHHHHHHHH!!!! AN ENTIRE COLONY PASSING OVER MY SHOES!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! I went in my head and tossed the shoes out of their way...

Hahahaha Hilarious now dat I think of it >.<

Den I got on ma trusty steed, and proceeded on my way. Exiting the park, I suddenly realised something.

I haven't had dinner.

So I headed to Mac and packed Chick fdo and cycled towards home. Towards only.

Sat meself down at the shelter and savoured my dinner. no fries no drink ok... just the essence of a healthy Mac meal. and i ate as slowly as i wanted, staring out at the streets... watched the cars go by, watched the pple pass in front me, watched them gimme wierd looks and giving them back the wierd look. HEH HEH HEH!

THEN I WENT UP. Was like 10.15 already - CSI New York Showing.

end of story.

"the important thing is I feel better now"

Heyyyyy... I think planning out your holiday schedule really helps lifts the spirits man~ By the time I reached "Friday", I was smiling alreadeeee.

But i'm still going for that long (overdue) ride :)

the world fell silent
in one fell swoop

i feel like crying
but why cant i

why do heroes die

bleaker and bleaker
it gets each day

what doesnt let me down
is disappointment

and what does it mean to let time tell



'cause hope is slipping away

Sad sad monday

I'm depressed over 3 things today (or yesterday since it's 1.53 already)

Steve Irwin's death... Evrytime I see or hear about him, I feel an urge to cry.

My mum and ultimately my dad... coz he caused her to be upset and her, me.

Third thing cannot say... But it's been bugging me for awhile and it got worse just now...

0.o, *sobs*

I created a Slide Show! Check it out!

Pawalan, i mean, Palawan!

*now with pics uploaded!!!*

Woohoooo! Yesterday we had AMAZING fun. Hahaha!

Apart from the slight glitches in meeting venue and timing that is. and that shups kept getting her pants soiled. and that I brought a fully charged cam withOUT the memory card!

We played frisbee like crazy between 1 to 3... laughed my voice coarse over how shups attempted to catch the frisbee while holding on to her pants. Hahahaa! Got alot of yoga poses come out leh. And shups was like "how come u guys keep laughing at me only?!"

HEHAAHAHAHAHA.... hmm good question.

I think... we were quite cool eh, playing frisbee with our sunglasses on. Plus we could throw and catch nice too! :P Yea kailin can throw very very straight... and shups also got better at every throw la.

Then we stopped for a rest to wait for wanyi and to "save some energy" for her.. but straight away after we stopped, this grp of guys borrowed away kailin's frisbee le.. anw later one of them exchanged phone no. with kailin when they were gonna leave and said he had wanted to invite us for their bbq later but his friends "SHY" la... HAHAHAHAHA >.<

Then after wanyi arrived, sian diao -_- She didn't bring extra clothes or swim wear... Hahah! why got pple go sentosa to play dun bring clothes noe arh?

So at first when we went out into the water, she could only wade around the water's edge and "stare" at us... until we bth liao and started to volunteer our own clothes to her.

After alot of discussion on who to lend her wat, we finally agreed - she'll be wearing my shorts and shup's hot blue sport bra into the water. Hahahahahaha :D We accompanied her to the bathroom and after she came out, she kept trying to cover here cover there with her bag lor!

Hilarious sia!

If she didn't try to hide herself maybe ppl wudn't have noticed at all. COZ, I was in a top that was smaller den a bra and a bottom that was smaller than an underwear... if wanna paiseh, i shud be the one la. LOL.

Ok ok so we could finally sit on the sand and roll ard oredi. oh wait, I think I was the only one rolling around. Hahahaa.

Point to note: if ya gonna get buried by sand, it is a BAD idea to lie on ur chest, faced down... coz it'll get so hard to breathe later with ur own body weight and the sand pile baring down on ur lungs! Aaaand it'll significantly increase ur chances of eating sand when u suck in air while laughing.

It was Kawabanga time as we jumped into the water and sat it out for a nice long chat :)

For dinner we ate zichar!!! My goodness! I think that was by far the most sumptous meal I've had with friends leh! It beat all the restaurant meals too man... We ordered kailan, bittergourd soup, stingray, sambal sotong and hotplate tofu! Yummiliscious! Evrything tasted so nice to me! Then shups said when U're in good mood, wadever u eat, u'll like it!

So so true...

hmm, so it's Bugis next friday, Sentosa again next sunday, clubbin next next wednesday, and steamboat next next friday? Sure, No prob!
