Updates!

The Special One..

I was on the phone with The Special One last night. Another one that will not answer phone calls if I were to meet any kind of danger. I called him while I was walking home, but he didn’t answer. I was kind of lost as I took a new route and thus alighted at a new stop. Was figuring my way home, walking through some deserted void deck, but at least it was well-lit as compared to the dark and quiet Little Guilin walkway. Same as tbb who won’t pick up phone calls when I called him the other time while walking home. Same case man. Now I know who not to call huh..haha..

The Special One called back after a really loooooong time and so we started chatting. It just reminds me of the days in Year 2 Term 1 when we were also chatting occasionally. It feels very comfortable, talking to you. There’s nothing to hide, there’s nothing to fear. I am glad that the both of us have matured, since the last when we were 18 years old kids.

I enjoy talking to you, and it should be a mutual feeling yeah? Haha..tell me not if it’s not. The line: “Are you sure you are not okay?” is still vividly repeating in my head. Hmm, yah after asking me once again, I finally told you what was wrong with me yeah? I guess nothing can break me, unless it has to do with relationships. It is the only thing that I suck at. The only thing that has hurt me, again and again.

But I hate it when you re-appeared and disappeared from my life. Just like that. I hate it when you have wanted to travel up to Thailand with me via the slow steam train and it got me all excited and you just disappeared after that. And now that you have once again re-appear, are you going to be gone, just like the previous time? I guess I just do not want to be upset once again.

And once again, I was surprised that you sms-ed me after that. Wasn’t expecting it to be you. Hmm, was expecting it to be someone else. Yeah, I was still awake. But you were wrong, haha, I was not doing any school work, was in fact chatting. Especially to Larry who was trying to learn BASIC CHINESE so that he can go China and find a wife. So we were like desperately trying to converse in han yu pin yin. And I learnt something new: hamster is called long mao. Haha..Mr. 29 was online last night too..hmm…..and dear Gil, you can do it man! Churn out that 10,000 words report! I am sure you can do it! Cos you are Gillian How! If Gillian How cannot do it, who else can?

ISETAN Private Sale

I skipped classes yesterday to go shopping. There was this ISETAN private sale, which I was so tempted to go. But it has to clash with my Thursday classes! So in the end I chose shopping to schooling. Gina was my evil shopping mate. Haha. Ultimately, it boils down to being happy. Retail therapy makes me happy, even if it is for a short period of time. The damage was only $140 – 6 tops. And the colours are still the same, either black or red. My colours. Black to hide my fats, red to bring me luck. And the occasional splash of PINK. I was telling Gina that I DO wear red for exams/quiz/anything important for LUCK. So if you see me wearing red, it means that I am having something important to do for the day! I tried on the Levis Princess Fit yesterday. Wah I didn’t know I can actually squeeze into a 26! Wahahahaha…all the while I thought I am a 27 or 28 man…anyway it was nice man….but it costs $179.50…too expensive already..i cant bear to fork out the $$..

Did I tell you that my mummy is more “powerful” than me? Yesterday she was out of the house at 0830. With her big group of friends, she went to the ISETAN sale, followed by Pepper Lunch and Swensens ice cream after that. Came home only at 3pm. Power man. They even called themselves the “condo TAI-TAIs”. Now you know where I inherit my “enjoying life” kind of lifestyle from huh..haha..this is what I will always tell her whenever she says I have been going out too often or whenever I am spending too much. She is also the same, she has like countless number of bags, clothes and whatsoever. Like mother, like daughter. She got me a belt. She wanted to get me more stuff, but she doesn’t know whether I will like it or not.

I am going to miss my brother..

I slept in my room last night. The room that I share with my brother. It has been ages since I have last slept there. I was actually dead tired last night. It was like 3am and I have morning classes. I have to wake up at 7am man. But..but…but..my silly brother was talking to me. We were like lying on our beds, getting to sleep. He started chatting. I guess he wasn’t that tired. We talk like that, sometimes. I know I will miss all these, when he gets into NS. He’s like getting in next week. Hence, as tired as I was, I continued with the conversation till I couldn’t take it and gradually fell asleep. I know I will miss him. His crappiness, his nonsense, his talkativeness.

There will be:
no one for me to throw my temper at whenever I need someone to vent out to,
no one for me to talk to when I need someone to listen,
no one for me to be entertained to when I don’t feel like talking
no one for me to be all silly when I feel like being a child again..

Manhattan Fish Market! Seafood Platter for 2!

Have always wanted to try this. Headed down to PS with Peiyu after classes. And not before we took photos in school. Remember to send me the photos hor!

Us looking like that when we did not sleep well..

Bienale 2006 in SMU Campus Green

We didn't finish the platter, leaving behind a lot a lot of fries! There goes my dieting plans once again. I ate a lot of rice!

Gummy Bears and Contact Lense Solution!

Dearest Peiyu gave me a surprise by giving me a packet of Gummy Bears from Germany and a box of contact lense solution! So touched! It was so out of the blue! Like she was buying the contact lense solution the night before and she thought of me! Wahhh.........thanks girl!

I need someone to tell me that I should study. Someone to tell me that I should pay more attention to school.

Was just thinking about it this morning. I have always wanted to tell this to people close to my heart. As much as I seem to be busy going out with other friends, and resulted in me not being able to meet you, it’s really all of you that matters the most to me. I am really bad at words..the point that I hope to get across is that, it is you people who are the most important to me. Likewise, I would like it a lot if my future half would be that understanding. For example, let’s say I have to go out and socialize/network most of the time. But at the end of each day, as long as I do get to meet him or we do get to communicate, I will be a happy girl. So if you are that understanding, please come forward and let me know you. Hahaha..

Random!

This will be a very incoherent entry and so it might not make sense at all..

I have always wanted to write about this. Some days ago, I was very upset. My unhappiness didn’t grow lesser; actually I just threw it at the back of my head and hope that it will never come back again. But this evening, while I was on the way to tuition, it just hit me back so strongly.

Sometimes I really don’t know what I am doing.

Gil: You seem very busy lately.

Me: Yes I am.

May: Why?

Me: I don’t know man.

May: You don’t know what you are busy with?

Me: Hmm..yah..

I feel very lost and confused. Like that day I wanted to go West Mall after school. I went there, went up to L4. Went into one shop. Realised that there’s nothing to do in WM. Walked out of the shop. Left West Mall.

Little Man with Gil and Gang

During the week, I caught Little Man with Gil, May, Alex, Michael and Jun Ming. I didn’t like the movie. I took bus home instead of the usual train ride. I left May even though I told her that we would take train home together. So sorry girl. It was a very strong urge to take a bus home. I guess that’s the way I act whenever I am unhappy. To shut everyone out. To be somewhere where I will be alone. I was on the phone with TBB throughout my entire journey home. He never fails to make me laugh every time. But it was also this time round when I felt more upset after talking to him. I was already so upset, and I felt more upset after hanging up. Surprisingly, I had a good night sleep despite feeling sad. I guess I was really tired. But once I woke up, the unhappiness just hit me once again. You know how it’s like? You opened your eyes to realize that it’s day light and suddenly you are reminded of the unhappiness that you have been feeling the day before. The feeling’s really terrible.

Saturday Lunch with Gina

I met up with Gina for lunch at Sakae and some shopping on Saturday! It was really nice seeing her, and I saw Zhenning too! The last time I saw him was like in Primary 6. Haha, the world’s actually so small; Gina and Zhenning are like super duper good friends right now? Yeah..

Saturday Dinner with Gil and Gang

Met up with Gil and gang after that for dinner @ Marina Bay. Gil and gang. Haha..too lazy to spell everyone out. It reminds me of those days when Gil, SM and May would come over to my place for some rounds of board games..wanna have another session one of these days? Haha..I wouldn’t mind.. Yah..so there were Gil, SM, May, Dap, Michael and Jun Ming. I made a big hoo-ha for letting the cat out of the bag. Really sorry man. I am not that careless most of the time right? Haha..we ended up at East Coast Hawker Centre, eating those Newton’s kinda food. Good, affordable fare, why not?

All of us at ECP. SM's not in the photo cos he's the photographer.
We went to Partyworld after that. Me going KTV? Since when man? Oh before that, we went for pool at this ulu ulu place where we were rather pissed with the managment. I think I was lucky (cos I had my Mickey tee with me), so I managed to get a few balls in! Hahaha..

Daphne and I. After ktv-ing. It was like 4am in the morning.

Sunday Lunch and The Banquet

Hmm, I met up with someone that I haven’t seen for ages. I don’t know why I asked him out. It was something that perhaps I have wanted to do so. Yup, someone who is special to me too, now and always. We caught The Banquet, which left us feeling so puzzled after which. Haha..

Hmm..yup it will be good to get a second degree man...medicine somemore! Go for it man! I will try to get my Masters in Accountancy too! Haha..and yeah..we should take photos the next time yeah? I dont think I have any shots with you at all man..

Sunday Dinner with Uni Friends!

After that, I met up with Peiyu, Wu Xia and Keong for dinner at Ding Tai Feng. It's a pity that Larry couldn’t make it. The last time we had a gathering was like 1 year ago? That’s damn long ago. I will always remember the times we spent together at the old campus, especially in Year 1 Term 2. It is really unforgettable. The days where we will just go out and have fun after school, the times where we just stay behind after class and hang out in school, the times where we will always have tea breaks during projects. I also miss the times when Wu Xia, Keong and I spent. We would go for dinners, lunches, coffee. And most importantly, that Malaysia trip! Nothing beats the satay we had at Kajang! Singapore’s satay is nothing compared to Malaysia! Trust me! Up till now, it’s still the best that I have ever had! I still remember us trying to order satay in Malay! I still remember we had to rush back to school from Malacca for a presentation! Those were the days..

KL + Genting Pictures!

Late August, I went on this trip with Gil, May and Show Meng. It was really a fun trip, a long awaited one in fact, cos the last time I actually left Singapore was a year ago (Bangkok). I had fun and laughter, despite many inconveniences (i.e. loooooong coach rides, no more available hotel rooms, etc) I am glad that I went with no one else, but the 3 of them, as these 3 individuals are really so unique that no one is able to replace their positions in my heart! And gil, I am glad that I have gotten to know SM a little better with this trip! He's really very very nice to you! So here are the pictures:

Genting! All of us were freezing there man! But we still wanted to take pictures without our sweaters on! Haha..so that explains the 4 mugs of latte to warm us up! Remember the "我很冷 我很冷" or the "我很热 我很热"? I do still believe it really helps man..


KL! Yummy yummy yummy foood! Hahahha..I just kept on eating and eating!

The coach journey to and fro! I think we spent more time in the coach than anywhere else! Imagine 9 hours from KL to Singapore! It's just so scary! And not to forget the very scary toilet experience I had with May! But I enjoyed the coach ride a lot, cos the 3 of us talked a lot, about anything, everything.

KLCC! KL is just too big for a short 3D2N trip! I want to go there again! Oh we saw policemen on horses too!! I want to stay in the same hotel in KL! So nice and near everywhere! Who wants to go travelling with me again?

Okay, if anyone manages to read till this point...hmm..I will be MIA for a short period of time. Cos I need to concentrate on my school work and stuff..will be back soon by October 7th..so ask me out again yeah!

Fanny - if you are reading this, hmm..when are you free to meet up with me and Shir? During term break kk? Hee..

Benson - sorry for not meeting you yesterday. Next time kk? I want to tell you about what's happening to me and how lost I am man! Haha..and you better update me with your stuff too!

Gil and Gang - We will meet up soon for more fun and laughter yeah?

Thanks dear for the pics!

OMG. I didn't know it was like 250 Mb worth of photos to be transferred via msn. Haha..that's like sending 50 mp3 songs!

Looks delicious yeah? More to come!

I Need Him - Forbidden City

Like winter nights need fire
Like temples need a shrine
Like lovers need desire

I need him..
Can't he see?
I need him..
To be mine.

(I need him, OST from The Forbidden City - Portrait of an Empress)

I'll be alright..

II feel like baking something. But I don't know where to start off with. And how to operate that oven of mummy's. Hahaha. And how to charm my mummy to let me mess up her kitchen. And where to get the perfect recipe. And where and what ingredients to buy. And when to find the time to do so. All cos I want to bake something. There are so many things to prepare?

Reading what May wrote made me tear a little. I don't know why, but I feel damn touched.

"and weiling don't be upset anymore. Be yourself. WE LOVE you as what you are! don't change yourself to a person whom you yourself don't understand anymore. Just here to tell you, i and gillian care for you alot too! ITS JUST BEYOND WORDS!"

Thanks girl, likewise, you should know that I will always be there to lend you a shoulder to cry on yeah? Same to you too gil......................haha getting too emo le..

Cheese Fondue

Ingredients used in the traditional cheese dip include dry white wine, brandy, Swiss emmental cheese, and Gruyere cheese. This was served with bread, prawns, chicken ham roll, asparagus and broccolis. The 3 of us were slightly "drunk" after the meal. Haha..

Hmm..
Thanks to all those who msn-ed me. People like Daphne, Gillian, May, Jia Min, Shireen, Peiyu, Chee Ching, Shin, Nicholas, Larry, Mark Low etc. At least it kinda cheered me up.

Especially when Larry showed me the page full of hearts! and when Peiyu told me that I sounded sweet tonight. And when Jiamin listened to me. And everyone else.

Thanks everyone. :))

 

Forbidden City!

Read this:

Those eager to see Kit Chan as the young Empress Cixi in Forbidden City as last Wednesday's matinee performance were disappointed.

Signs at the Esplanade Theatre informed patrons that Chan, billed as the home-grown musical's star, was not performing that day. A pre-show announcement was also made that the role would be taken on by Chan's understudy, Celine Rosa Tan.

But the change irked audience member Irvin Lim enough for him to write to The Straits Times to complain.

The 23-year-old undergraduate said that customers should have been told that Chan would not be performing when they were buying the tickets.

While the matinee tickets were sold at half-price to students, he said he would rather have bought a full-priced ticket to see Chan.

He told Life!: "Expectations were raised because of the advertising that Kit Chan was singing. I'm not a fan, but I like her voice."

SRT's artistic director Gaurav Kripalani said that he made the decision for Chan to rest her voice last Wednesday as there were still 2.5 weeks left in the show's run and it was a demanding role.

He also explained that it is standard industry practice around the world to put up signs at the venue if and when a show's star is not performing.

He added: "Celine Rosa Tan was selected for the role because she is a spectacular performer. We took great efforts to ensure that the quality of the show was not compromised in any way".

Tan played a prostitute in Toy Factory Theatre Ensemble's Cabaret, and a doting sister in Theatre Practice's Lao Jiu, to good reviews from critics. She performed again at a matinee yesterday.

Six patrons who approached SRT staff and said they were there specifically to watch Chan in action were immediately offered a full refund or tickets for another night. All but one chose the second option.

Mr Kripalani offered Mr Li the same alternatives. Told of this, he said, "I will definitely accept a new ticket."


Daphne and I bought the matinee tickets for this play. Why not? We are students and we are available to catch the play at an earlier time and why should we pay more to watch the play at a similar seating? Yeah...

And so....

We didn't get to catch Kit Chan in action..
Refer to here --> http://users.livejournal.com/tiramisu_/76980.html for more details.


Man, we were so so disappointed. But we were like the only ones complaining in the theatre! Cos everyone else knew of the replacement except us! Why? Cos someone wanted to eat her LJS and thus we were late and didnt know that there was an replacement. Haha..

I still can remember Dap asking me whether Celine Rosa Tan was Kit Chan:

Dap: Hey, that one isnt Kit Chan right?
Me: No la...not out yet..

*Pause*

Me: Kit Chan havent appear. Maybe she's some concubine going to be Empress..




That was when Celine Rosa Tan has become the Empress already. Hahaha..how kuku we were man...


After the show, Dap emailed SRT. I didnt cos I was preoccupied with other things. SRT didnt get back to her. So she called. And we were, as stated in the article above, given a choice of either a refund or complimentary tickets!

So really got to thanks Dap for being soo persistent about it!

So, yeah, watching the play for a second time proves to be something different. We were given Cat 1 nonetheless..:) OMG Kit Chan's voice's really good.

I love SRT! :D

I am really upset.

But I know I will be alright soon.

A rollercoaster ride of emotions.

Will be back.

M.O.S!

Forbidden City: Portrait of an Empress @ The Esplanade!

 

Stayover @ Jiamin's!

As seen, Jiamin and I were busy preparing the food and such, while lazy Shireen was just standing there and reading her book! So bad right! Haahha..and to think she has finished her book while waiting for us to prepare the food! :X Okay, she did managed to make it up by washing the dishes..

 

Hellooooooooo people!

I took so many pictures, but I haven't receive any of them yet! You all should know what to do! Hee...


No time to blog! No time to go on msn!

So Tired..

Too tired to write much..

Will update more tomorrow probably..

I should have joined Gil and co for their outing just now...Sob...hahahahahah..how can they have fun without me!

Got to squeeze time to do my sch work!

Forbidden City!

Go Mr. Bean!

I am so in love with Mr. Bean this term! It was Subway last term, so this term will be Mr. Bean. I have been having soy bean almost every day..haha..oh no..

Woohoo!

To top up my happy mood, I am looking forward to this coming Saturday! Haha..eh shir, I have been seeing you too often le la! I don't wanna be muddle-headed! So you better stop making me meet up with you!

Too bad JM won't be joining us this Saturday..:((

Cheers to all the fun and laughter!

Fun, fun and more fun!

Hoho everyone!

Well..

Friday was spent at Gil's birthday celebration! Wah..big family she has..sometimes it feels good to have a bigger family..I really had a fun night! Hee..

The early half of Saturday was spent lazing at home, trying to catch up on my sleep as I only reached home at 3am on Friday. On another note, I am more determined to get my driving license asap so that I can cruise around Singapore and meet up with all my favourite people! As promised, I will drive all of you around haha..and..hmm..yah imagine the amount of $$ that will be spent on petrol..haha..but I know it will be worthwhile! Just don't laugh at me if I drive badly..

Oh yah..First half of Saturday was spent sleeping and waking up to reply to smses..you know like those kinda..you sleep and wake up to check your phone and reply to smses and doze off again? Yah..so I didn't go for my 9am lesson after all. Hmm, really sorry to Mark for that..and for not meeting you for lunch too..I still wanna go for my Jap lunch! This coming Friday okay!

Met up with Shir and JM for our long-awaited "excursion" to the land of Punggol! Haha..as what me and Shir concluded, we felt that we were going to some foreign place! I felt kinda at peace, over at Punggol! I think Punggol is a good place to stay for now, provided that you drive. You see green land everywhere, big space. But 10 years down the road, it might be too congested.

It was fun staying over at JM's place. Reminded me of the time when we camped over at Shir's place after prom. And I learnt something new: Europe White. Haha..yeah..it's a club in Clementi. Haha..shall we go there one of these days, girls?

Shall post some pictures up if I am free..

But the bad thing for this weekend is.........

I have caught a cold, after staying at Punggol. Hahaha...So now I am like blowing my nose away while waiting for the medicine to take effect for me to go zzz..I need to be in school by 0830..

Oh yah, despite my cold, we went to catch "the devil wears Prada" at PS just now. Hmm...for once, it was a movie that totally captivated my full attention..I guess it was entertaining enough..imagine having a cold and having to sit in the theatre and having no sweater (thanks JM for sharing for jacket with me :P) and wearing shorts and despite all these, I didn't feel that sick at all..haha..

I wouldn't say the show's really nice cos the plot's kinda expected and all sorts..but it was really an entertaining show..go catch it yeah!

Hmm..I feel bad cos I haven't been touching on school work..Someone please guide me man..haha..

Oh I realised that this post sounds super cheerful compared to my other posts! Hahaha..

I know what I want to do, at least for the time being. Wish me luck!

Dear Gil,
Sorry for sounding so far away just now on msn. I guess I was feeling upset/down. Will be up and happy in no time.

It's the 3rd week of school. But I haven't start to read any of my readings yet. There are so many commitments to attend to.

Just now, I had dinner with a smu friend. She mentioned that people who tend to listen to others' problems, tend to be more sensitive. Initially, I was disagreeing with her...but soon after, I realised what she meant.

When you listen to others' problems, you tend to put yourself in their shoes and feel what they are feeling. Hence, you wouldn't want to hurt others...but we, of course, would disappoint one another once awhile..

Sometimes I wish that I would live my life, just for myself.

Anyway hmm, I am facing this health problem right now but I don't feel like telling anyone yet. I am just hoping that it isn't anything so serious.

I have been sleeping on the couch recently. Treating it as a replacement for my bed. Sleep has been getting better. At least I don't wake up in intervals of 2 hours that often now.

Sometimes, I just wish that I would be somewhere else, anywhere else but here. I guess probably my mind is telling me that it's time for a MIA session.

Oh yah, I saw this cute guy on the train just now. He got this "I am not local" look. Hmm..he's probably in his late 20s or early 30s. Haha, I went to check whether he's wearing a ring. Haha..so he wasn't. He was standing just next to me, playing some game with his PDA. Why on earth would someone be playing some game on the train after work and not going out instead? Means he's single? Hoho! Haha..he's probably going to meet someone..I looked at him a couple of times. Well, if I am a guy, I am sure to pick up attractive girls on the train man. Everyone was required to alight at Yishun, so that ended my fate with him. We boarded the next train but we did not stand in the same carriage. Of course I managed to find out where he was standing haha. Hmm, conclusion was that I caught him looking at me. Haha. Well.....too bad for the both of us..

I don't know whether I would want to fall in love, get married before 30, have a few kids, a happy family, good income etc. Of course I would feel happy I guess..but.....

Someone once told me that what we want to do in life......probably we will not achieve it. Cos ultimately, it boils down to the other commitments we have in life, i.e. family, relationships, money, lifestyle. For practical reasons.

Like someone once mentioned that he doesn't want to be like his dad, who is earning a decent living and is contented. Have he ever thought of the sacrifices that his dad has made, in order to raise his family and make sure that everyone in the family's doing good? I am sure his dad once has his dream, to do something different from what he's doing right now.

This makes me wonder, whether my dreams that I have right now, will eventually be dashed and I would probably be married and settled down.........

I have been telling others that we should do what our heart tell us to. Cos we only live once. But I am not doing what I have preached. I guess when I am younger, I tend to be...more 'daring'. But now, I tend to draw back, and think of the consequences first.

Should I just live life as what my heart tells me to instead?

What's with the (tu) Emoticon....

 

Happy Teacher's Day!
