大年初三
Third day of cny was spent with family and friends!
Started our early morning visit to gf's place. I know this girl for almost 10 years already! Time REALLY flies ( i know it's cliche but it's just so apt to describe). Supposed to be morning morning but we were all knocked out from the hectic night the day before and couldnt get out of bed. Ended up at her place only at almost noon. Kind of hang out with her aunt who's really nice and made efforts to mingle with us. Oh! and gave us angpao although she really didnt have to. Ate her mum's cooking which was YUMS MAX before we made a move bcos it was SO overwhelming with all her relative streaming in.
Thanks gf for the invite! :)
Then it was a quick trip to bf's place and then my aunt's place and then..
Fel's 21st!
Really can't stand people who make me wait for more than an hour. My limit is ONE hour and i think that's reasonable enough.
Anyway her party venue was real pretty with all the decorations. Just that it's situated in a not so convenient neighbourhood, it's really easy to get lost

大年初二
First stop, grandma's place. Just a mini stop over for lunch before heading over to small uncle's place.
As you can tell that we simply don't have anything to do, we resort to taking pictures and pictures of the floor tiles and all.
No photos at small uncle's house because we were all busy trying to earn some pocket money. And while doing that, my little cousin and niece (both p4) wouldnt stop bugging me to play with them. I honestly should have done that so that i wouldn't have to suffer a deficit of 25 bucks. Hahaha. Oh well. for the joy of cny~
Next stop, rich uncle's place. Hahaha. Buffet at his 3-story place. An annual affair.

大年初一
Unlike most people, having parents who has much more seniority than their siblings meant that their kids have the luxury of sleeping in till afternoon when relatives come over to visit. Personally, i woke up at 11+am, when my parents threatened that my unglam-ness would be exposed if I refuse to wake up any later. Lucky me, when most people barely had enough sleep after supposed 守岁。
But then again, it's really quite bored to be hanging around at home. But the irony is, it's even more awkward when people comes over. People u're not so close to. It's like going out to greet them and get ur red packets and then the awkwardness begin. Are you supposed to make small talks and act 熟 or what? It's much easier if they have kids, so you can divert all the attention to them and go goo goo ga ga about how cute they are. Naturally, me choose the alternative- retreating back to my room where my laptop is. But i did the most loser-ish thing. I started to do my public relations essay. That shows how desperate i am. Ha. But then again, that barely lasted more than three sentences.
Cousins gradually came over and got a lot more entertained and did all the normal things- catching up, setting up mini gambling den, watch dvd and a lot of drinkin (soft drinks. me still juvenile) and eating (junk food n more junk food).
Oh, i did walk over to my old hse area where my 姑姑 stays to 拜年too. She cooks the best food in the world- guo hiong, tauhu goreng, curry, pizza, u name it, she can cook it! Totally ate a lot at her place despite having dinner already.
Cousins in the hse- YO
including toddler cousins.
And then havoc at night after all the mess in my house.
Headed over to joel's place cos gf denied us entry. Haha.
More eating, talking, drinking (non gasy drinks finally!), playing cards yet again
plus POLARIOD-TAKING! :)

Monday, 28 January 2013
A normal bus journey home that usually takes 5-10 minutes took double that time today. To us, it could be just another ordinary day, but to others, life had just taken a completely different turn.
Frustration was building up in the bus when the crowded bus was inching forward so slowly on an entirely straight path. People started to get impatient and peered out of the windows to find out the cause of this wait. I too, did the same because my legs were aching from all the standing. All there were, was flashing yellow-blue lights which passed off a rather ominous feeling. You hear ambulance sirens, you see crowds all around the accident site, you see police cordoning off the area- bad signs.
And fear crept in. I know i'm being silly. But it was my neighbourhood, the exact road that everyone in the family takes every single day. I rushed home. All is well.
What if it turned out otherwise?
Such, is the fragility and uncertainty of life.
/A brother was fetching his younger brother home from school on a bicycle and they got run down by an oncoming cement mixer. Bicycle flattened, both didn't make it.
Tragic.
my condolences

my saltwater sandals
Just order these cutie Saltwater sandals from America. So excited to get see them!
Wishing with all my might that i will get them before CNY!!
Oh btw they are called saltwater because they were designed to survive even in sea water.
Appropriate shoewear to the beach even!

merry merry xmas
Merry xmas!
Met yz today for a scrumptous dimsum lunch at tamp1. For a public holiday, the mall was actually quieter than usual. But somehow everybody needs to have lunch so the crowd were all congregated outside eating places. The dimsum restaurant we ate in was So crowded, we ended up in a so-called 'island seat'- the result of an impromptu table placed near the fixed sitting areas. To be more exact, we were right in the middle of the tables which made not evadropping quite the impossible.
Nevertheless, food was mega YUMS! And the table ended up looking much smaller than it really is bcos of all the dishes we ordered. Amazingly, we wiped out all our food clean. A very much appreciated and fulfilling xmas lunch :))
Of cos not forgetting our xmas exchange. And though belittle the tiny physical appearance of my small present. Major love whatever is inside. < 3
Day ended with nice cup of caramel frappe at Starbucks and photo-whoring.

merry xmas eve
i love xmas! Major love this season of giving, of physical presents, of soothing jazz music, pretty light decorations and mega sales everywhere. Single or attached, rich or poor, presents or not, they just don't matter anymore.
A holiday is a holiday- a day to rest whether or not it's a day ur religion celebrates. While i may not a christian, i think we can still adopt the fun from the special day itself- PRESENTS! Both giving and receiving that is.
As people always say "the joy in giving is much more significant than the joy in receiving". (something like that)
Arrived at work after a long holiday spent over at Genting highlands and was really astonished to find 8 little parcels sitting on my desk. Sounds logical but considering that im only a temp staff there for less than 4 months, it's just such NICE NICE NICE gestures. Totally warmed my heart!
And a prelude to the presents, they werent just chocolates or candies, mostly of them were hand chosen individually which really really melts my heart. Awww.. Got a soap&glory moisturizer mist from boss; parker pen with my name engraved, perfume, mini pouch, candy and chocolates amongst many others. Im such a blessed girl to work with nice people :))
But of cos i wasnt expecting anything at all! Thinking abt their gifts i actually felt bad for getting them only chocolates. But then again, they came together with heartfelt written notes which is priceless for sure!
Half day ytd and then spent the rest of the day at S' christmasy house. Major love his place for xmas bcos there's such a warm fuzzy cosy feeling whenever we enter. It's as though he celebrates xmas throughout the yr. His parents very nicely prepared some xmas delights for us- turkey, ham, sausage, salad, fruits and all which was REALLY REALLY sweet. Felt really bad for imposing on them so much but they were really such welcoming and brilliant hosts. :)
Did our usual catching up to fill up all e gaps of each others' lives. Enjoyed our yummy food and then had our highlight of the day- Gift Exchange! Well, i would say that we have all learnt to be better gift-getters as the years go. So all in all, i think we all had great gifts.
Photos up soon when i become slightly less lazy =x
For now, merry xmas! Bedtime!

land of mist and fogs
Woke up with beads of perspiration all over my forehead with my back dripping wet. Really gross. And the fact that i dont usually sleep in air-conditioned rooms makes this quite a phenomenon. I guess it's a post-3d2n genting trip syndrome.
I don't usually along with my parents when they go on genting trips bcos it's one of the most boring places in the world. Plus i had just been there like months ago. But somehow something in me prompted me to wanna go. Perhaps it's the sheer lack of time in normal days that compelled me to wanna spend some bonding time with them. Plus i think i deserve to take a break from this mad reality before school officially starts come Jan. Despite it being a trip with my aunt and my not-so-shou- cousin, i still went ahead.
Well, being *ahemm* really nice n sociable, hanging with my cousin was not too bad. I kind of had a personal bodyguard the whole time. Come to think of it, i was nv alone for a single moment the entire trip. Hmmm... sounds good.
Half the time there was spent at the casino throwing money into slot machines. The other half eating, sleeping, shopping! I know how i always tell people that there is nth much to get there. But amazingly, i managed to grab 4 shirts, a pair of heels and a nice red shoulder bag. It's incredible, really. But having said that, i spent all my ringgit, every cent of it already. But then again, aside from my shopping loots, i also bought a lee cooper sandals for daddy's bday on the first day, a slice of cake, some bandage stuff from watsons, 2 magazines and alot of nonsense and all. So i guess my money was rather well-spent. right?
Celebrated daddy's bday on our first night there. Bought a slice of cake which didnt taste too good. But then again what do you expect at almost 12 midnight when all e nice bakeries had already closed. I love my daddy bcos he taught me to be selfless amongst many other things. To prevent others' from getting injured while at work, he used his bare hands to grab a flying machine part with sharp edges and had to have 3 stitches. I could even see his bones :(
My daddy's my hero < 3
But we did chill out at this nice cafe near genting hotel where you could sit outdoors and the place was awesome. All e mist and fog floating in Not forgetting the strong winds that chilled me mad. 17 degrees for genting is quite something. Feels like white xmas even though it's not snowing :)
All in all, i had a good holiday. Away from everything else you dun wanna think abt, just letting time pass as though u had all e time in e world, feeling a little richer with the difference in currency n doing everything u cant do in spore.
Coming back and rushing to cherie's 21st party @saf chalet from woodlands checkpoint is yet another story

Happy holidays!
Hurray to the long weekends. It'd been officially two months at my new workplace. Getting very much used to the workload and tempo already i guess. And I'd reached office much later than i usually would for the past 2 days. Bad sign! Gg to try and keep my records clean and not be late!
On a lighter note, so glad there's an extra day to the wkend ahead. More rest and nua-ing! Once in a while you just need to have some self therapy and enjoy the luxury of letting time pass you. Exactly what i'm doing right now! Having an entire room all to myself, air-conditioner switched on, taylor swift's new album RED playing on my playlist, surfing aimlessly looking at pretty things.. all with a bottle of cloudy apple juice on my side. YUMS! Bought it ytd night from the new Shop&Save near canteen 2 which apparently replaced the famous Nanyang mart. I guess the 7eleven will go bust very soon with the new competitor that's offering much more competitive prices.
Tried canteen 2's famous ayam penyet ytd night for dinner. Boy was it good! Crispy on the exterior and the meat inside is still tender and succulent. Super delightful even though i already had fried chicken for lunch ytd. But the aunty serving is a tad AP. =x Had salted caramel ice cream from canteen 1 after that. I'm so gg to get fat! But it was damn fulfilling! Though not wallet friendly. Haha. Good thing i dun stay ard here. Imagine me having to allocate a part of my spending on ice cream =/
In bf's room now doing my leisure stuff while he finishes his lifesaving training at the pool. Seriously, who on earth has training in school on a public holiday?! Pfmptt. But kind of enjoying the lone time. Hee! Bet it's burning outside now. Going to finish up my novel and bum ard n all before he comes back. Loving the serenity ard here. I think a lot of ppl's still in hall but i think they are all like me- Hide in the comfort of the room and not get out. Okay i did, to go to the bathroom, washing machine room and to hang out clothes.
Maybe i'll go out explore a little and walk ard a bit. Maybe, just maybe =p

Aftermath of pushing your limits- MAJOR MUSCLE ACHES
They are finally easing away alr. Can now take bigger strides and push through locomotives who strolls along bustling areas. It's Wednesday today! Midweek are a cause for celebration. Furthermore, it's a 4-day week!!
One more day one more day one more day

I feel so bad for my boy, seriously. Read through his effective comms essay and it's just such a flop. Bad grammar, illogical arguments, no thesis even... All in all, FAINTS. He was so upset, he looked at me and told me how he's so gonna flunk this assignment.
This, is the problem with group work. And the best phrase to sum this up- too many cooks spoil a broth.
Tried to help. Did some editing but I guess his team members thought otherwise of it. I may not be an expert but at least being a comms student, that gives me an advantage over u. Tsk! So upset for him right now. I seriously hope that the bell curve (if any) will work in his favour somehow.
That's e thing abt project work. You have leechers, stubborn cows, all-talk-and-no-action-ers, bossy ppl... All sorts. You just have to choose them wisely if not you'll have to suffer the consequences. I met ppl like that but at least i'm able to convince them to do things my way, which, very much reduce the damages incurred. Sometimes, you just need to know your limits. If u aren't so good in a certain area, let others take charge. Don't force things and then everybody gets pulled into the cold water altogether.
Poor boy :(

movie night
Our idea of having a dayout like tat is supposed to be us watching some comedy/bimbotic/chick flick kind of films. But we didnt make it for the GF/BF session and had to catch Taken 2 instead. I tell you, it's the best coincidence that happened! Too good! We were just sitting at the edge of the cinema seat, so tensed up from the action and suspense. Thumbs up! And we didnt even catch Taken 1 before that but the lack of details while watching the sequel werent of any bother. So gonna watch Taken one of these days!
TGIF! :)

resident's evil
Mega monday blues today especially since the past wkend went horrible. It's just not how it's supposed to be, in fact it's far from what i've imagined. I guess we cant always have things our way. That's life. But having said that, i swear i was so so so close to pulling the plug. I'm not sure if days,months, or even years from now, i'll look back n wished that i made a different decision...
On a lighter note, i managed to catch resident's evil on fri night. GROSS! Referring to the zombies that is. It's so annoying how they pop out from nowhere and gives you a sudden adrenaline pump every now with their sudden appearance and coupled with the shark-approaching kind of music effect.
But the lead actress is just really HOT, crudely put it. I have a thing for athletic girls, probably because we just like to have things we can't, and i can never ever be a healthy, sun-kissed, lean, sporty girl. Lol. The plot is kind of -.- and i'm quite sure it's not as good as the previous sequels. But i must really compliment abt the scientific effects- they were so so good

thanks for e memories
Just when i was trying to decide what to have for lunch, Doug came over n ask if I wanted to join him. So we explored the nice cafe just downstairs. Another free lunch day cos he insisted on treating. Oh well. Must be bcos i witnessed how he was verbally shot millions of time by the sales reps with the harsh qns and gg through bad times together brings ppl closer. Ha.
Had class today- the LAST one of the year. Unofficial that is, bcos after presenting today, there's no point coming tmr. The lecturer is TOO unbearable. It's alright to explain thoroughly ONCE, but he has a habit of explaining TWICE THRICE MULTI-TIMES as though u didn't get it the first time. AHH. It makes me wanna stomp my feet.
But somehow there's this yi yi bu she feeling. It's like everybody knows we probably wont see each other anymore n there's this bittersweet feeling. So contradicting! And to think the person who initiated to take pic together is a guy. HA! What's e world becoming?! But that request kind of warms my heart, knowing ur presence means something to somebody...
For unknown reasons, saying goodbye after class today is extremely emotional and hugging seems like the most appropriate thing to do. HA! but no, i hugged no one! But ya, you get how it feels
It's finally over! Just one more research paper to submit at the end of this month. Hang in there! :))

OL un-OL-like
Sometimes I really wonder what's in my head. Forgot to bring brolly ytd, made a mental note to bring it today but.. FORGOT AGAIN.
It wldnt have been a prob until i had to go meet ex-frens for lunch @kovan n i realised it was pouring outside n there was no way i could get to my destination.
But guess wat, when life shuts e door on you, there's always a window open. And it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Boss drove e whole team out and we had a welcome lunch-for me! More than a week late but nvtheless still a nice gesture. Haha.
And before that, Boss got me to tag along with Doug to see how it's like to brief e sales head from all SH branches in the upcoming 4g plans. It's really quite an eye-opener. Other than knowing all e insider news before it was released, you get to experience first-hand of how it's really like and what happens before a plan is launched in store. And i must say the sales rep r a bunch of ppl from all walks of life. The more potato ones , the slightly ah bengish, the concerned, the impatient... It's interesting to hear their point of view bcos knowing all these is like their bread n butter n they wan to be fully equipped to counteract all the customer's queries and arguments.
It's really cool. And i'm actually liking my job. Not the usual desk-bound mundane 9-6

happy thurs
I'm dead beat now but got to listen out for kiki's REM night movements while her mummy goes to shower before i can head to bed.
Today was a super fulfilling day aka. nucleus connect day.
Had lunch @NEX with ex-nc ppl who are still working there. It's just such a warm fuzzy feeling to eat, chat, and interact with familiar faces. Especially since e people at my new workplace isnt the closest thing to friendly/inclusive/nice. I mean we do talk but it's more like asking me to help them with stuff more than wanting to have a personal conversation. But there's a few nice ppl ard who are truly willing to share experiences and personal feelings with you. Which, is kind of nice.
I'm certainly not the kind to try means and ways to fit into them. It really didn't matter. Why waste time on people who aren't genuine? As I got older, I realised how I'd rather have quality me-time than to put on my most PR smile and look as though I'm part of them. So anal right? Why can't i take more initiative. Ha.
But actually, i really do enjoy my new job. I've learnt quite a bit in just a week's time. Learning to use the SAP system which will certainly be advantageous in future, liaising with external media vendors (some networking maybe), some admin work, and nice lady in e team that brings me through all her marketing campaigns.
Oh ya, not to forgot dinner with my ex-nc GIRLFRIENDS! So so so nice to see them! The last time was on my bday which doesnt really count because i was all over e house. And then the warm fuzzing feelings come oozing all over again. When we met, J asked if XY and i were still attached. We gave a positive answer and then she asked the most unpredictable question- "with e same guy?" HA! That's how long we haven met. Long enough to haf a change in bf.
T got hitched recently and I'm just SO SO SO happy for her! How she glow with all e romance blooming and sweet nothings exchanged! Hee! Kind of forgotten how things were like when me and le bf started out. Been so long..
Anyway, it had been a most fulfilling day and im a happy girl. (even though le bf finished cca n is gg SUPPER w/ coach n frens n we wont be able to talk =/ )
Need to catch up with a lot more ppl soon (ced n wen if u're seeing this!!)
TGIF in advance :))

starstruck
/Edited
Okay, since e ep has aired i can finally post this. Didnt want to remind ppl to watch it. Ha! Post was typed after e filming like month ago. Anw i look so unflattering!
Burnt my entire Sunday bcos of this.
And no, i didnt volunteer/ sign up for this but entirely for e sake of doing my dad a favour.
For those of u who rarely watch mediacorp production, "neighborhood society" is a local variety show tht promotes neighborhood cohesion just like its name suggest (DUH). So what they do is every week, they will go to a particular neighborhood to film. Firstly, they start off the game with a 达人who basically is technically the team leader and there she has to go ard the neighborhood in search of 10 people who satisfy the criteria set by game producer. After which, the 10 members with the leader will need to decorate some figure and adhere to the theme. Public will then vote and decide the winner.
And as usual i did e most epic thing.
You'll probably find my face really blank in e beginning of e show bcos i thght it was a rehearsal when it was actually the REAL THING. =/
Plus the weather was insanely hot and standing under the furnace-like sun for almost 5h is no joke and it makes me SUPER ANGSTY. Even with e camera on me, my face was just 臭 and looking really unglam with the sweaty-ness that was killing me.
Overall, it was a good experience. But.. i still dun want to do ever again!
My very nice frens came to vote and then escorted me home to shower before we had a very home-ly zichar dinner and then a nice htht session. :)

picnic under e fireworks
Had tuition on a national day holiday morning. How sad. Kids these days are really poor thing. Good thing my p4 kid is rather entertaining so time actually flies by. She loves telling me her things in school and she can blabber nonstop aboout all the different books and storylines that mr mystery & mr midnight write. (Not my era kind of thing though). Tried to ask if she knew boxcar children, she gave me a puzzled look. (oh no! generation gap! =O )
Went to met bf at his place after that bcos we had no destination in mind. Yup, we are always plan-less like that. His mum was like more enthu than us in planning places to go. I bet his mum would make a better bf than he does. Hah. She kept throwing places we could go and offered to let us take e car and all. How nice.
Out of time pressure and unwillingness to bum ard at home anymore, he finally compromised with my idea, e one that he always had qualms about. Ha! PICNIC!!
So we did some simple grocery shopping at his ntuc and started preparing. His mum was so eager and got us a picnic bag, picnic mat, and very meticulously threw in a pack of wet tissue which was super handy. Initially i thght it was my bf. But, no! Tsk tsk.
green apple egg salad with leftover grapes from batam! ha
egg mayo sandwich & tuna sandwich
Took a LONG time to get parking lots. The only downside of driving i guess. Reached barrage and it was so OVERWHELMED with SWARMS of ppl. Apparently there was live screening of ndp at e field with a big screen (not big like cinema but still bigger than tv kind of big). Sat down and starting munching our food. Should have brought more if we knew the barrage was so happening! haha!
funny milo mascot forced to stop n take photo with ppl
the flag actually flew past. super huge. had an amazing unblocked view
n the dunno f15 or f16 which doesnt bothers me
partial view of fireworks thanks to mbs
Unfortunately we had a group of kids, like a gang of more than 10 people, shouting at EVERY SINGLE thing sitting near us. I swear my ear drums were dying. Too attention-seeking! They just had to sing bday song at least 3 times at the TOP OF THEIR VOICE just right beside us. They were shouting and jumping THROUGHOUT e whole fireworks. That was a total turn-off.
Tried to chiong as soon as everything was over, but we could not fight e jam. In any way, we took like 30 min just to get out of barrage. Yup, that bad! I had no idea how long we took to get back home. Probably ages bcos i had a good nap throughout e journey. Hee.
happy nat day! :)
