We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
And yes, we've just begun...

Aquamarineee
Sunday, April 30 1:29 AM
Hey I actually thought Aquamarine is not so bad.
I mean, look..
It doesn't put you to sleep (Read: Tristan & Isolde),
it doesn't have complicated storylines,
it is not scary and
most importantly it's not KOREAN!
hahaha !
(Sorry Clara & Jane, I'm still not a korean at heart)
It's just a simple movie about 2 girls befriending a mermaid.
Cheesy, yes.
BUT.
I enjoyed it.
Holy barnacles, It's already 1.41am.
I leave you with quotes from the movie:
Claire: Love is the closest thing we have to magic
In Mall
Aquamarine: HELLO!! [people stare]
Claire: [tries to hide herself and gives Aqua a questioning look]
Aquamarine: Why go through life unnoticed?
The long weekend beckons
Saturday, April 29 3:41 PM
SPH offered me a position yesterday! SO.....
If everything goes well the coming week,
I get to work at Singapore Press Holdings on the 8th!
hahaa.
Happppy me.
Oh the other hand, Jane tendered her resignation for her job,
WHICH MEANS we get to meet up more often now!
yay-ness!
On a more serious note,
Ally's maid ran away.
yes, ran away.
Literally.
She's gone.
Took her passport left.
What the fuckin hell, okai.
To think I thought she was quite nice and all, It's scary now to think back how she had been planning this all along.
Now, I don't know what are the plans to take care of my grand daddy still at St Andrew's.
One thing's for sure.
I bet my big fat ass Ally's not hiring another maid- again.
Trust me, it takes just one bad experience.
I still find it difficult to imagine how Yanti could have contemplated AND executed such a move!
Anyways, Ally made a police report and changed the padlock to the house and all.
Last night was drama night.
But I missed all of it, 'cos I was sloggin my ass at IP until 9pm.
The FHA finally came to an end.
With Nyx and Derrick's fronting the war zone for the past 4 days, it's mine to come this coming week.
I'm so glad there's such a thing called Labour Day.
Hahaha.
Okok!
My Amazing Race is starting !
Ciao y'guys!
Wednesday's post
Wednesday, April 26 10:54 PM
OK!Mid week post!
We shifted office todayyyyy!!
Yes, it's supposed to sound happy, COS I like the new office like, manymanymany much.
It's quite safe to say it's approx thrice the size of the 27th floor. (we're at 26th now, btw)
yes, I know what the hell.
But if you would see and compare both, it's almost like that ONE level seperates heaven and earth. (no, not the green tea doofus)
I wish I could show you guys pictures, but I think not.
You guys can always pop by (and apply for jobs at the same time)
Moving on from the actual floor area,
I got a brand new state-of-the-art desktop in this new office okai.
hahaha
It has a retractable stand (which I prolly wouldnt use).
BUT still, it's friggin retractable and cool.
Can I say cool?
And new phonesss...nobody was ever so excited to pick up calls until today, incoming calls were in all-time demand.
hahah
And so, my point being I like the new office.
Now, I can hop to work with a big smile everyday.
OH yes, and I went down to Union House today to sign a contract with this lady from NTUC Income.
Guess who I met????!
RACHAEL.
yah, KLYNE.
She's working over there!
SO cute!
She still looks the same, and she's sooo lucky cos she went for her NTU interview yesterday WHILE I'm still here waiting for letter.
It's reallly nice seeing her after soooo long.
Speaking of which, I met Carmen at town yesterday too!
She's ALSO looking the same.
By same, I mean same colourful cardigan with red,blue,yellow,green stripes.
Away from work, closer to home.
My cousin-in-law returned to Germany last night! (prolly to make it in time for FIFA WorldCup)
which means I'm only gonna see him this coming October during the wedding.
Everytime I speak of it, I get so excited!
Weddings make me happy. (If you haven't already realised)
And I finally got my Topshop skirt!
Thank you!
And caught The Sentinel too...
It's pretty cool, if you're into the high flying secret services agent-turned frame victim-driven into desperation-and committing adultery with the First Lady....
Then this movie must have been made for you.
And Aquamarine opens tomorrow!
Ok la, I know it is some cheap chic flick.
HEY, try saying it fast - Cheap chic flick. Cheap chic flick. Cheap chic flick
watch your tongue there.
As I was saying, although it looks like some silly show, sometimes you gotta take a break from all the CIA and sappy dog sleds movies and enjoy silly girly movies.
Right??
Shopping with Jane on Monday was super fun!
Imagine if I didn't call you girl!
While I splurge 81 bucks at Forever21, Jane got herself a dress too..which is good.
Cos at least you're not just accompanying me.
Sometimes I feel bad dragging you halfway round the globe to find my tops/skirts/shoes/bags/
you get the point.
It's Thursday tomorrow.
I hope it flies past.
And then it's Friday!
Yay.
Ok la, for now.. my bed's beckoning me to jump on it and snooze for the next 7 hours until I'm up again.
7 hours?!
I'm gonna dash off in lightning flash the speed of light
P/s: The usual gang of you guys, MIMI says next gathering on 17th May..and if there're any MAY babies (she's one of them!) let her know.
Do i smell birthday cakes???
Your next pool sensation
Sunday, April 23 3:23 PM
It's Alicia's photoshoot today!I wonder how it'll turn out to be! Sounds so friggin fun to me!
Last time she msg-ed me (bout 15 mins ago), it read: 'Photo shooting is so tiring, and no fun.'
guess I was wrong afterall.
haha
Still, I can't wait to see how it goes.
Went to play pool yesterday.
no wait,
I attempted to play pool yesterday.
By the end of the entire session, it's quite safe to say......
I still ain't good enough to represent Singapore yet!
HAHA.
Anyways, sorrysorrysorrysorry bout the no show for clubbin Sue! Couldn't get enough khakis.
PLUS isn't it your 8th month or something with the girlfriend??
What were you even thinking of asking me along?
Nutcase, you.
Hahaa..
In a split second! a flash! speed of light!
Monday is drawing close, my Sunday reeks of it.
The only consolation I'll have is the 2 short weeks on Labour Day and Vesak Day.
What's better than a Monday public holiday followed by a Friday public holiday??
If you think I'm gonna say nothing and bask in absolute happiness....
forget it.
I can think of one million more!
Like.........
Paid public holidays???
AND! Speaking of yesterday makes me so fuckin pissed.
My cousin decided we should all take a spin on his Altis, to send Ally to the train station and then to visit Grandaddy at St Andrew's.
So i happily went home, grabbed my license and sped off.
And it fuckin turned out to be the worst 45 mins of my life!
He was SO fuckin critical OKAI.
If I had a weak heart, I would have died while on the wheels.
If I were not so nice (like I always am), my bright pink birkenstocks would have swiftly moved up from the accelerator to his head in 2 split seconds.
Im serious.
But because I'm nice.
And my mum...she went on and on and onnnnnnnnnn.
Fine, I shall no longer drive these 2 Simon Cowells anywhere EVER.
Please remind me.
(now, I'm praying they NEVER chance upon this entry)
Don't worry, the rest of you still get a ride on my speed demon.
hhahaha..
And go listen to the song on my friendster, it's the nicest remix yet!
(yes, I know it's by Disney Channel CHERYL!)
Love,
the-next-pool-sensation-that's-gonna-rock(and break)-the world
Eight, Nine, Ten Below?
Thursday, April 20 1:13 AM
I finally caught Eight Below. (Sled dogs anyone?)It was alright, I didn't cry.
WAAAAAY surpasses Tristan & Isolde, by the way.
BUT i did jump a little when that leopard seal roared outta the lump of whale carcass.
Ok, a lot.
BUT it's all because, I mistook it for some sea-monster-cum-dinosaur !
Hahaha!
Watching The Da Vinci Code trailer is getting me all excited for the opening night!
My greatest achievement tonight would be driving myself home alllllllllll the way from Suntec WITH my power suit and 3 inch heels.
No less.
Thank you, you may clap now.
OH, and Carl's Jr burger is anything, BUT junior.
I miss you guys, what have you all been up to?
Why did the Easter bunny cross the road?
Sunday, April 16 1:30 PM
It's EASTER!Bring out the Easter egggggs..........
No Jane, don't even think.
There's no egg yolk in these!
HAHAHA!
Jane-the-eggyolk-maniac-who-can-down-an-entire-yolk-in-one-mouth
Moving on!
Yesterday was a FANTABULOUS day!
I was Soooooooooooooooooooooo HAPPY.
Because Mum was feeling oh-so-generous and bestowed upon me gifts of my most sinful pleasure.
C.L.O.T.H.E.S!
B.A.G.S!
S.HO.E.S!
Her credit card bill this month would include an additional:
- 2 Tops
- 2 Bags
- 1 Heels
- 1 Pants
But it's perfectly a-ok!
Cos I haven't been shopping in a while now!
Don't yah right me.
Speaking of TOPSHOP, (yes, nobody mentioned- fine be it)
I saw loads and loads of prettty clothes which I'm going back to get, as soon as...
as soon... ...
as...... ..... ........
Actually I have no idea too.
BUT one thing's for sure..I'm going shoppin with Clara next Sat! So we could go Topshop while we're at it!
She needs to find a dress to attend some friend's wedding and YAY! I get to help her.
As much as I lurrrrve shopping myself, I love shopping for others too!
It's like playing DRESS UP!
And speaking of wedding (this time i really did mentioned),
I saw this GORGEOUS dress at Warehouse which I could reaaaalllllly reallllly wear to Ally's wedding.
Except for the fact that is is
$193...
and that Mum thinks I'm BOUND to change my mind (cos there is 6 more months to Ally's wedding)
MOTHERS~
But it's reallly reallllly nice, and I realllly reallllly like it!
But knowing my mum, she would say: 'Tell me something you don't reaaaalllly realllly like.'
Sheesh, she knows!
Anyway, there's a new intern coming in tomorrow, I think?
Hope she's fun and that we'll have fun.
Haha.
Till more thoughts cloud my already conjested head,
LOVE ME!
Let's go the budget way
Saturday, April 15 12:42 AM
I went spinning again, to Changi Airport this time.And honestly?
I didn't quite like how the budget terminal looks.
I don't even know if it's politically correct to say this anymore, but seriously..
not nice leh.
I was commenting,
Me: eh, looks like Snow City without snow
basically cos it looks so empty, and sparse and white.
-just like Snow City.
and no, I haven't been to snow city.
Artist's impression, CAN?!
To think Ally was supposed to be there today to go BKK, but cancelld the trip cos if you haven't heard my grandaddy had a stroke relapse again.
4th time already.
He's quite a fighter.
I hope he recovers fast, cos it must suck to stay in the hospital with no scv.
I shudder to imagine.
After an entire loooooooooong day recovering lost sleep at home, it's nice to know.
IT'S ONLY SATURDAY!
if you can count, there's still SUNDAY before Monday.
Wheeeee, i feel like the luckiest kid ever.
Ok, get over it Gina.
It's just a holiday. JUST.
Whatever.
I'm gonna get more sleep........... Because!
Like clothes, you can never have enough.
Like Pringles, once you pop, you just can't stop.
Like McDonald's, I'm loving it.
Like L'Oreal, you're worth it.
Ok, I've made my point
Come stay with me!
Friday, April 14 2:27 PM
Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader.
You are a freedom lover and a strong person.
You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible.
You love excitement and create it wherever you go.
You are very tidy person.
There's nothing wrong with that because you're pretty popular among friends.
Your life is always full of changes.
You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible.
You love excitement and create it wherever you go.
You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be.
You added a flower into your drawing.
The flower signifies that you long for love.
It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt.
You don't think much about yourself.
How far do you agree with it?
Holler!
2:28 AM
Thank god it's Good Friday.Like, really.
I needed the rest so badly. SO tired (although it's only been 4 days of work)
Been fighting to keep my eyelids open since Monday!
This week's been rough. I received my 1st uni rejection letter.
BAH.
Like I didn't see it coming.
Now, I shall await the remaining 2 with ZERO anticipation.
On the other hand, tonight was damn fun, y'guys!
Ok, strictly speaking, last night.
We headed out to Fisherman's at night, and we wasted the night doing all sorts of silly things!
I'm starting to love this group of people!
(You guys better see this) We must hang out again!
hahaaa
Thanks for listening, Diana!
OH, I saw SUE ANN and her mum and TM.
I'm sorry Sue, I think I scared your mum a lil.
Ok, fine.
She practically jumped.
Ok, back to fisherman's.
Stayed till close to 1am, and we left cos it started to drizzle.
AND the friggin sky only drizzled for 15 mins?!?
Just enough for us to settle the bill. Purposely, I tell you.
Dammit, We could have sat there till 6am.
I caught Tristan & Isolde on Thursday!
GO catch it, I dare you.
I dozed through the last part of the movie, which was already quite a feat.
I'm sure I hear snores 5 minutes into the movie already.
haha
I waited for the exciting part to come ALL NIGHT, but sleep came faster.
Oh, and being oh-so-inspirational, I realised the both names Tristan & Isolde are nice names to sign.
Y'know, not like Harry or Peter.
I haven't seen a nice harry signature yet.
Have you?
Yay I think I'm going MoS on Sat night again.
Clara, come along??
Till then, I better go catch some 40,000 winks.
The guy who said 'catch 40 winks' must have never slept longer than 7 minutes!
hahaa.
G'night y'all.
-YAWN
Good Friday meet up!
Monday, April 10 11:04 PM
Shoutout to Jessie:
I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YOU GIRL!
you HAVE to call me out, really.
Shopping, clubbing, coffeeing, makaning.
YOU decide, I'll be there.
Promise!We'll waste the night away talking, gossip, bitching, laughing, catching up.
I miss my baylen too.
-shudder-
Hahaha.
Hahaha.
And the rest of you,
who's up for clubbing on Good Friday Eve?
It's lady's night at Dbl O plus NO WORK the following day!
The heavens are practically begging us to hit the dance floor.
I say, dance dance baby.
OK?
Jean
Sunday, April 9 11:11 PM
My cousin.
My friend.
My confidante.
Hangover
11:31 AM
Dbl 0 was hell.of.fun!
I barely had 5 hours of sleep, and I got hungry.
I shall hit my pillows -one more time.
In short,
Saturday, April 8 11:57 AM
Awesome week.
mainly cos it skipped by while I was totally ignorant.
And we had friends from Germany coming down.
Ally's husband's friends (loooong relations,haha) came down from Germany for a short holiday before embarking on the next at BKK. (Sickening rich people)
So we played the role of hospitable guests and picked them from the airport early sunday morning..and left after noon!
They were held up cos of visa problems, which I have no idea what.
-shrugs-
Bottomline is, they managed to get out of customs, after Jean & I took 6 million photos all over Terminal 1.
We head straight to town while Ally checked them into their hotel, Jean accompanied me to cut my hair
Yes, and of all the times I went for hair cut and no one could possibly tell,
THIS time was no exception.
So, stop harping on it.
After hair cut, we went to Marina! (again)
And got stuck there for the next 4 hours as Ally changed ALL her gowns.
Damn fickle, my cousin. I swear the Jessie the wedding planner had tears in her eyes! hahaah
But I guess the gowns this round looked better.Especially the evening gown! Which I shall not post pictures of it up..
You guys can see it on her wedding!
Greater suspense, no?
Ally thinks I'm patronising her by saying that the gowns are nice (they really are by the way)..
ALTHOUGH I have all the reasons to, after 2 trips to the bridal shop, emcompassing 4 hours each, which adds up to 8 in total..reassuring her in her ultimate state of confusion, snapping pictures for her, and tonnes & tonnes & tonnes of shopping forgone...
WHY WOULD I??
hahahaa
See, I'm such a dear cousin. Right Ally??
And I'll expect the same when I get married ..
Jean, Seow Min and Veronica shall accompany me to countless gown fittings and make up sessions, shopping for wedding accesories, WALKING ON FOOT to hotels 20 mins away from MRT stations, and checking out endless wedding magazines thick as the 1-inch sandwich from LJS breakfast, deciding on wedding favours and desserts for the banquet......
Jean, better get your lil' sis started on reading my blog..Haha
It's my form of a propoganda for her,
hahaha
And Thursday, my cousin in law flew in from Germany too..
No sausages, no birks, no soccer balls, no Oliver Kahn.
Just Crystal Jade dinner. (EARTH SHAKING RED BEAN PANCAKE!)
So, I'm not complaining.
Anyway, you guys will be going BKK right??
hah, VERY good. -evilsmirk-
Shall not complain about my CPF deductions this week( although I have one million and one reasons to!)
Clara says I should get used to it. (or rather not let it get to my head and spoil my weekend)
I'm afterall, gonna enjoy myself later when I meet up with her and her friends.
we're going Dbl O at long last.
Not exactly a psychic, BUT i'm pretty sure I'm gonna hate it when the clubs close.
COS Clara and her friend's are the northen bunch.
AND I, have to make my way down the long and winding road back to East and pay for some lucky cab driver's grade A petrol.
(see, why I say I have a million and one reasons? I could use CPF for this okai!)
Ally's not just one hop away this couple of weeks..she's at another house in Tampines..nearer to the interchange, while I'm stuck in N2.
And while I still get to meet her in the mornings, it's so boring I can't hop over in scrunge shorts and discoloured t-shirts and waste the night away at her place.
hahah, there's no image to upkeep in our neighbourhood if you realise.
Tampines is pretty big, come to think about it.
It's Saturday afternoon and no one's at home.
My family members lead much happening life than me..I'm just gonna catch 2 more reruns of Amazing Race and sleep and maaaaaaybe when I wake up it's already 10pm.
At least, Leicester won last night.
Good one, boys.
