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...

VERY SWISH!
On a totally random note, I was in BKK exactly a year ago.
Kevin
Thursday, August 23 11:22 PM
Met Kevin after work for dinner @ Fish & Co.
Nice to meet up after so long, made him run down from his camp @ Yishun.
Still he reached too late.
The damage was a dress and a top. That's about 110 bucks in an hour.
Very bad.
On the way home, the cab driver is damn chatty. I had to keep up with his convo, no choice.
Hahaha, wonder how Kev lasted through to Woodlands!
Solitaire
Tuesday, August 21 8:54 PM
Has anyone seen the Goldheart Celestial advert with Pris Chan and Alan Tern yet?
My goodness, so sweet!
Btw, I saw them consecutively for 2 Sundays during dinner.
Haha, either they live somewhere around, or the food must be damn good.
Back to the ad. They seem totally made for each other. I can't decide who I'm more jealous of - the guy or the lady.
What the hell, they are both godsend la. Quite opposed to the opposites attract theory.
At least, not in the physical department definitely!
Hahaha.
With that, I just changed my mind.
Don't want Tiffany's already. I want a Goldheart Celestial Solitaire.
Hmm.. :)
5 more to go.
Weekend - Gone in 60 seconds

Went to Hongkong Cafe at midnight to catch Newcastle vs Aston Villa. They drew by the way. Just like I saw it. :)

6 more days.
G'night world.
I emerged victorious!
Thursday, August 16 11:22 PM
Yayness!! Exams are over - for now.
I get...let's see, 2 weeks of break before it's back to more mugging again.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm stacking with 1 extra module next sem.
While 1 extra module sounds like nothing, (it's almost $2k and a whole lot of effort!)
Let's not forget I still hold a pretttttty taxing full time job.
As Mother Teresa say, and I will say it again:
Whatever that doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger.
I can only hope Workplace Law isn't fatal.
Right now I just wanna enjoy.
Sometimes, it makes me wonder how I spent my days before classes started.
I must be damn free, I'm telling you!
But somehow it always doesn't seem that way then.
Haha, but I guess this is always the case.
We don't appreciate something until we get something else worst.
Oh well, tomorrow is Friday! -sings-
Oh yah, when I meant sing, I really have my own melody for this.
(It's goes on with 'Tomorrow is Sat-urday, and I can wake up lateeeeeee' I know it's super lame, but trust me it's very catchy! Hahaa!)
Haha, at least we're gonna be in the same building!
Either that, or when there is a session on Saturday morning!
Haha, the things I do best!
I need to shop badly. I was mugging online that day, and I really needed to shop.
So dang! I did some e-shopping and got myself a top.
Very bad, Gina. What to do, the temptations are so omnipresent.
G'night world. 10 more days? Heck, make it 9. It's 1/2 hour to midnight.
MugMugMug
Wednesday, August 15 11:36 PM
Today is the last mug day, cos paper is tomorrow! Yay.I'm seldom that happy for any impending doom except in this case, the faster it ends the better.
I haven't been to work for 3 days now, and as sick as it sounds, it feels like I'm almost suffering from .. withdrawals?
urgh, that is downright pukesome.
I guess it's just plain boring at home. I hardly move away from the glass table since 9.30am.
Ok, only to get lunch. OK. And to watch Alexander on Starmovies.
Btw lunch today - I was superduper lucky! (But not as lucky as Al, he WON AGAIN the Singfest CD from 77th Street. Why???)
Anyway I was saying - I went opposite to get lunch, seeing it was hot and sunny and I haven't had breakfast too.
So I trottled across and back in say, 30 mins.
The moment I stepped into my house again, with lunch in one hand and Listerine in another, it poured like nobody's business.
Woah.
I ran for the windows! But on hindsight, I could be still sashaying across the junction - wet, that is.
So tell me, maybe this is the first step to good luck like Al's.
Hahaa
Anyway, since I was so bored. I decided to show you guys the state of mess of my table.
Apparently the area is pretty extensive, the whole screen couldn't even cover it all. There's still a book beside my arch file. Haha
And me! Conscientious like I always am.
By the way, the picture isn't taken today. This was taken yonks ago when I still had straight hair.
Haha!
I don't even recall who took it.
I just wanna say, I really love SAC.
I still have my 2 SAC shirts if you want to know and I wear them to sleep 2 nights a week!
So soft and sleep inducing! Not easy okay, took me 8 years to make it soft.
OMFG, it's been 8 years!
Shit. I'm getting old.
11 days to hangout!
Someone turns 21!
Tuesday, August 14 10:48 AM
1 paper down. 1 more to go.The paper yesterday was pretty much a killer, I'm quite wounded.
Damn, I should have listened to Frankie.
Oh well. 1 more to go on Thursday and the birds will sing again.
Anyway, have I mentioned Al has been on this like super lucky strike lately?
No, not the cigarette, doof.
Recently during the WWE Smackdown tour, he won this meet-and-greet session with the wrestlers like one-on-one.
I'm not exactly a hardcore fan, but I can only guess that session translates no less than MADNESS for him.
As if that weren't enough, he went on to win a pair of movie pass to Condemned. (which coincidentally stars another wrestler - Stone Cold)
And that wasn't it!
He won another movie pass. This time, Alone. (which he kindly gave it to me!)
And just yesterday on MSN, he told me he just won a half year's subscription to some magazine.
I was only hoping CLEO, CLEO, CLEO... but it turned out to be Teens/Teenage.
Better than nothing, I still get to read it nonetheless.
So I'm not complaining.
When I got home yesterday from my exams, he told me he was interviewed by Sistic on his Meet and Greet session with the beef cakes.
Haha, I went to their website to take a look at the nonsense my brother told them.
It was hilarious.
Sometimes, I wonder if my brother sleep with a rabbit's foot below his pillow?
Some people just get all the luck!
I'm so gonna sleep on his pillow tonight.
Enough of him, If you've noticed, I just changed my skin!
The old skin was far too long already, and I got kinda sick of it.
So there.
Anyway, I think this skin is DAMN cute with the marshmallows being poked.
Esp the WTF.
HAHAHA!
Does help that the background is pink, my previous was like yellowy-mustard.
Oh yes!
The other great news is that Benefit is coming to town!
In fact, it already is!
Not that I'm huge into cosmetics or anything like that, but I went through the catalogue that came with CLEO, and I was pleasantly surprised!
The catalogues are filled with very very cute items!
They have super interesting gloss and brushes and lippies and with very cute names.
To name a few, they have: BeneTint, That gal, Rush Hour, Ooh La Lift, D'finer D'liner, Bluff Dust, Get Even.
Haha. Just go check 'em out!
Clara, we will personally go to the counter @ Tangs to see next week ok?
It's slightly pricey though, ranges from $30 + to say $70.
But still, it's so cute!
With that, I'm gonna start on my dreaded ER. Will catch you all soon!
And nope, I did not forget.
HAPPPPPY BIRTHDAY JANE!!!
Hugs and Love all the way from Singapore!
Surprise, Surprise!
Sunday, August 12 1:08 AM
Went to catch Rush Hour 3 just now.
But that's not the main point.
Queued for donuts (again) at the new Donut Factory outlet @ Suntec.
This time only took 30 mins. And I get a whole dozen to myself this round! HAH!
But that's not the main point either.
Went for dinner at Pepper Lunch, took salmon pepper rice without pepper, add cheese. Boyfriend had his steak as usual. And then somehow along the way, I had beef on my plate too. Not that I'm complaining! :)
But again - not really the crux of the matter
The highlight of the night was when.........................
We went to get Jane-y her 21st birthday gift!
Yes, yes. I know you turn 21 next Tuesday, but I highly doubt you'll receive it by then.
(cos I only managed to get it today and it's still sitting on my table!)
No worries, I plan to send it to you asap so you can marvel at the wonderful-est present you will ever get! :)
Just so you know it's NOT belated, cos technically I bought it before Tuesday! Hahaha
Your birthday is NOT forgotten just because you're in some godforsaken Adelaide.
We still miss you!
One small problem though, is that I'll have to try my luck at Singpost cos I'm not sure if they allow me to freight it to you.
The gift is relatively HUGGGEASS! (I swear you're getting excited already!)
If not, then I just have to drop it your place to your folks until you return for your holiday soon!
I'll let you know no matter what!
There'll be no pictures till then.
If by the good grace of the Lord you manage to receive in Adelaide, then the honour is yours to post pics of it!
Till then, every visit from Postman Pat is gonna be an exciting one!
National Day 07
Thursday, August 9 11:01 PM
Happy National Day!
In comparision, I can hardly recall my N'day at SPH last year.
Did people come with s'pore flags tattoo-ed on their cheeks?
Was there a mobile popcorn machine to serve us fresh hot popcorn?
Did we even have a celebration?
Not that I remember, but we have all of that this year! Not to add the choir and performance.
Hmm, anyways. Good to have a PH since a looooong time back like Labour Day?
Woke up pretty early to mug (somemore!) Exams start on Monday and the intensity is killing.
I've got a total of 26 modules for the coming week to mug, and seriously I'm even too ashamed to tell you where I'm at.
But no sweat! I'm coming full steam, which also explains the turning down of manymany shopping trips and dinners (sorry guys!)
I'll be free again after 16th! And you all have 2 weeks to get me out and running in town, cos lessons will start all too soon again in 1st week of Sept.
And for the coming semester, I'll be taking an additional module.
My week already looks full.
So! Hurry!
But on hindsight, the past 4 months hadn't been that much of a nightmare as I expected.
It was tough, yes. But I guess if you want to do it then there's nothing much that can stand in your way.
(Laziness is such a major road block!) HAHA
And I just got my mid term grades, I'm (quite) pleased with myself considering it's my 1st sem.
Whee!
I'm 1/4 way to smelling something more tangible. Like a degree. D'uh.
Heh
Went to catch Royston Tan's 881 with my whole family sans Jack this afternoon.
There's a lot of hype about this movie if you are not based locally (like Ally! and Jane!)
It's about the local 7th month and the getai industry.
Amid all the reviews (good and bad), I'll agree that it is in its most honest form. Very local, I must say. And definitely not a waste of $$.
It's a bit of a musical, hokkien songs. So you should skip it altogether if you're not into it.
As all local movies end, it gets slightly tragic which just emphasizes that every life is like a movie that kinda thing.
(Trust me, there is a saying for this is mandarin. Xi ru ren shen.. something! Jean should know!)
So yah. That's for afternoon. After which, Mum went with Dad for grocery shopping @ NTUC, all that 4.2% for National Day does get mothers a bit high.
Al went to meet his gf, for another screening at 7pm for Rush Hour.
Mum and Jack just caught it yesterday and I heard it's good.
Guess I won't be disappointed this weekend afterall. :)
For me, I headed down to Lavender to meet my boy. And off we drove to Old Airport Road for dinner!
No tickets to NDP, so that's the 2nd best alternative to spend the evening.
It's back to work tomorrow again. Short one and we're into the weekend again.
I especially like weeks like this cos tomorrow will just feel like a Monday (Sat and Sun feels like 1 day anyway)
And then it's Sat and Sun AGAIN! Wow.
Plus, I'll be on leave for whole of next week. No prizes for guessing. Exams!
Wish me luck yea? I'll be needing it!
On a random note, I find myself endorsing this quote I read somewhere a lot these days. Maybe cos I find it so apt. It's from Mother Teresa by the way.
Either I'm getting saintly, or I'm getting old.
'Whatever that doesn't kill you, will only make you stronger.'
Since I can't be there with all of you, I hope this little bit helps you in any relationship dilemma, mid-life crisis, decision-making, baby problems, major headaches that you're going through.
(Hopefully not more than 1 in the list at any point in time, else you should just seek divine help instead. Haha! )
So go forth, do something right today. And spread some love for our country will ya?
That little red dot turns a ripe old age of 42 today. (That's almost twice mine! Haha, I'm so MTV)
Bring out the champagne! 17 days to F.U.N
D'oh-Nuts
Friday, August 3 11:29 PM
Boyfriend called while I was in the office.
The background where he was calling was super noisy but his message was loud and clear : Get your ass down asap if you want a box of some piping hot donuts!
DONUTS!
I flew down the minute the clock struck 6. Ok, maybe 6.30pm.
Got there at the speed of light and managed to catch him in the Q. For that, I got to choose my 6 flavours (He only gave me a quota of 6!)
By the time we finally got hold of all 24 (you are only allowed to buy up to 2 dozen at any 1 time), it was already 7pm.
Technically speaking, he spent 2 and 1/2 hours in that Queue. No toilet breaks, no drinks.
Crazy Bananas!
But it was truly indeed worth the wait. I know.
And by the time we left, it was like 7pm, and the queue was still snaking towards godknowswhere. It's broken up into 3 sections to not disrupt the human traffic.
Imagine how long the last person will take to reach and WHETHER there were still any processed dough for him.
Well, they had a disclaimer outside the shop indicating that you can Q for as long as you wish, but donuts DO get sold out.
So be prepared for a heartache or possibly a heart attack.
I couldn't wait till I got home, so I devoured the peanut butter glazed while waiting at his lift lobby.
It is so DAMN sinfully good, I'm telling you.
I haven't had a peanut butter donut before, and so compared to strawberry or double choc, this currently tops my list (and rocks my smelly socks!)
I thought the donut craze in Singapore is getting ridiculous, but spoilt by him with treats like these.
I think I might just have hopped on to the (already crowded) band wagon. Haha!
Heaven now comes in a box of 6. Better than nothing. Yummmmmmmmmmmmm
Next Stop - Krispy Kreme! When will they even reach our shores? And then if they EVER do, they probably need security personnels and bouncers for crowd control.
Hahaha! I can imagine.
D'oh-Nuts!
Happy 11 months
Thursday, August 2 10:50 PM
It's 11th!
Hmmm..feels like much longer than that. In fact, a couple of years.
As agreed, we'll head for 2 more 11s.
:)
Dinner after class was great! Especially since class ended earlier today.
It always feels good to have someone pick you up after a long day.
I'm kinda hooked on the smell of his car seat leather. Snifffffffff-
Anyway, I just changed my house telephone number AFTER so long.
I shifted like, 5 times in 20 years, (which is an avg of only 4 years in any one house) before Dad sets his eye on another nice exec apt and we shift our asses there again.
Packing, renovation, unpacking, cleaning.
Oh, the vicious cycle.
But, surprisingly this is only our 2nd number.
And truth be told, I really like the old number except there are many 'wrong number' calls which can get on my dad's nerves.
And SO! Ta-dah.
Can say that I had a bit of a say in the new number cos Dad gave us a couple of options.
And the one I picked is right now in my handphone directory. Not difficult to remember either.
Memory is never our forte. Hee
Strangely though, updating people of my new number today felt fuzzily nice and warming.
Almost like giving the number to my own house. Haha.
Anyway, those who need a update, sms me or call me alright?
Not gonna publish my new number here in full monty view. Besides, you guys seldom ring me at home.
Ally - you'll need it. I sent it to you thru MSN already. If not, let me know. :)
Exams in 2 weeks. Guys, I need all the 3 leaf clovers and bunnies' foot (hope PETA isn't reading) I can find. Haha.
Hope I can get the first hurdle through.
Next would be to graduate, stable career and my own house! :)
