pre-bday celebration day 1

It's funny how everybody keeps telling you "happy birthday" when it's not your birthday at all. And for quite a big moment, i almost believed it was my birthday too. Ha. The day started out in a M.A.D rush. Plan was to go for tuition, get back, change and doll up and then off to the chalet. But what's life if things go just the way you wanted them too. Obviously plan to go tuition folded, and all the subsequent steps behind them fall like a domino. Instead, went to pasir ris hopping to get my nails done despite not making any appt (made appt for ytd but well, it folded too =/) Obviously things didnt go as planned. Shortage of manpower, nobody wants to do my nails. Another mad rush to the simei, saw like 5 very free prc women chit chatting at e counter n saw a glimpse of hope. Guess what, they said they were busy. What nonsense! Decided to give up doing nails although, on the way to the bus stop, saw another nail parlour. And wohoo! they r willing to do express mani and pedi for me. Didnt have the luxury of time to do classic anyway.

 Nice lady but the lightning in the shop is SO MISLEADING. The orange light totally made my perception of colours fuzzy bcos e colour was not what i wanted when i saw in normal white light. But for the very least i had well maintained nails, so not complaining.

 Another mad rush to the chalet. Thank god for joel for drove us there, as my parents being super duper kan chiong spiders, have decided to leave in my aunt's car. This leaves the only driver at home my bro-in-law, who is still not ready cos my big sis is such a slowpoke. So hitch a ride from joel who was super duper nice to fetch all my nice helpers/buddies deb, wen, ced, tw n sw to the bed. And you're right, 7 of us in a five-seater. It's such a miracle that we made it to the chalet in one piece!

 Chalet was in a CHAOS bcos my parents being really kanchiong spiders got my relatives to come as well. Mind you, offical time for party is 730pm. =/ You know how many cook spoils a broth. That's right. This got my perfectionist sis who has a artist temper(if u know wat i meant) really angst n crazy. But still, we made it through with some hiccups here and there. But all's well! Thanks to my helpers who really put in their hard and sweat with the stubborn balloons that i cldnt blow, and all the diy decorations. :)

Lots of groups came in gradually and they all just brought back so much vivid memories i ever had growing up. It was SUPER NICE to see everybody, all these ppl who meant so much to me. And then it was another round of mad rush, jumping from grps to grps hoping to catch up as much as possible. Somebody remind me why i dont host parties. The only good thing is i didnt get a single mozzie bite. Plus i was so caught up in the action, i wasnt even hungry from not having dinner at all. Fyi, i only had one curry puff for lunch.

Finally sent off the last group of ppl, n totally collapsed at the dining table. Ate a little, cleared the place n den went to wash up for bed. Looked through my made-with-lots-of-love scrapebook from my boy n was really really touched. Read through all the things that each of you wrote and all the decorating you took time to do really got me teary. So thankful and utterly blessed for knowing each n everyone of you. And those who stayed on the other side of the rainbow, those who got really really lost, those who walked like crazy and all of you who turned up. Thanks a million.

Filled with lots and lots and lots of love :))

disheartened

sometimes i wish u cld learn to trust a little more, trust the decisions i make, trust my rationale behind them.

bracefreeeeee

IM BRACEFREE! This is totally bizarre.. Kind of miss my braces, excluding the pain, ulcers and all the hassle of having food stuck and stuck. It's just so WEIRD. Still in the midst of getting used to my new look. Teeth is extreme clean and sparking after the cleaning. Gonna abstain from coffee for at least a month, just to keep it nice and white. Hahaha My braces are one day short to becoming 22 mths old. Same as army. 1yr 10mths. =D

Had a truly fulfilling week!

Friday night was spent meeting long lost friend, yz, whom i have yet to meet/contact since 2 months ago. Finally had my first taste of Nando's. And we caught a super lame b-grade jap horror movie. Super epic day! Feels like old time :))

Sat was spent with secondary schools frens/east side gang. Supposed to catch the Titanic exhibition but in the end e plan sank. Hahaha.Long story but we still had a great dinner/supper.

Sun was spent finishing up my assignment. Uber efficient! :))

random

had a surpise visitor last night. heard e door opened and thought it was my sis who jus got back. But got a shock of my lif when i saw bf walking in. It was like 10min past midnight. So insane. Apparently watching the last few epi of pillow talk knocked some sense into him. Ha. Like how his dad was holding his mum's shoulder while we were at the airport e other day. So cute.

I think i've become braver without bf ard.

1. i've survived being stranded with his parents when he checked in for tw.
2. i took the first ever blood test in my life
3. i watched the second horror film in my life (in theatres that is) (even though it's rather b grade)
4. i just think im brave

And now, im gg to go survive a car ride and at least an hour of waiting with his parents before he lands.
=/

i-light

Haven been here for like a million years but it's too pretty not to talk abt it...

It's like 8pm at night but but we're driving into city. So much convenience a car brings. Went to check out the art installations laid all over at the marina platform. Truly awesome! So prettyyyyyy. Not exactly a true appreciator of art but i think im visually sound and qualified to look at pretty things.

GOOD night :)

i cried a little, u died a little

Escaping is an easy way out

But there's no closure, no answers

Nothing.

when u can no longer see what the futures hold ahead for you

when life's a riddle u cant solve

st valentines

vday on a wkday is when u haf a simple dinner with e one u hold so dear to
when u thght he'll be so caught up with work u wldnt see him.
no need for flowers, no gifts(cos alr exchanged days ago. haha), no gimmicks
just to see each other :))

some fatty n ah yi(me!) bonding time :))

Prawning session @Punggol

Going on a holiday means letting time pass u, enjoying the new environment, getting away from everything

Saying hi from genting~

coundown

Had an awesome countdown this yr bcos jostling with crowds were minimal and no need to take public transport! WOHOO! Best thing in the world!

Started the last-day-of-the-yr day at bf's hse doing my assignment. So ridiculous right. Oh well.

Then, Had dinner together with e guys at katong area cos cy suggested to try this famous indian cuisine near katong. Found the place but we had some trouble ordering cos we cldnt figure out wat's wat. Haha! N when e food came we were in shock! Portion was pathetic but i guess it's worth paying for e atas experience. Dinner round 2 at fat boys further down e road. Food was yummy! Portion real huge. Good thing i shared the chilli cheese fries with reb or i'll become fat gal.

Drove off, n bravely into city despite the risk of traffic jams. Haha. Not tat bad. But navigating ard the place was hard with all the road blocks and closures. N we did a ultra scary jaywalking across the road under the marina squ bridge. I swear i cldnt open my eyes while i was pulled along. Didnt have time to get a high spot by midnight so we stood stranded abt 200m in front of mandrian hotel. N guess what. we had the best spot in the world! fireworks were working their ways right before our eyes. Even the not very tall person like me had a good view and it was spacious albeit a little humid.

The fireworks were INCREDIBLE! Even better than those on ndp's!

N then it was otw to clark quay. The crowd was overwhelming! Scary max. N i left my ic on the car, so no clubbing. hahahaha. Which is a gd thing! So went to chill at cafe iguana cos everywhere else was TOO PACKED. The music there sucks! They think it's funny to cut off e music so ppl can sing along to it every few sec. But it really sounded as though they had a bad stero =.=

Love love love fireworks. Im sure 2012 would be a blast jus like the fireworks! :)

last photo of e yr.

cd's yummy lava cake with wild strawberry ice cream

that me n reb kept koping. damn gd!

PRETTY!

2012

Cant believe 2011 is over already. Still in disbelief actually and i bet i'll still be writing the date as 2011. Guess it'll take some getting use to. Haha

You know how ppl like to reflect what they've done for the past yr, what they want to improve, n what they wanna accomplish the next yr, but for me...my memory is SO BAD, that is out of the qn! All i could rmb was that i haven touched books for like almost the entire year! But all e different work experiences, and interaction with different ppl from all walks of life has made my 2011 a much worthwhile and enriching one. Picking myself up from e previous yr of unhappiness and losing the composure and confidence i once had. Not forgetting all the big and small fights when it comes to matters of the heart. But im glad i made it through.

Felt e same way gk did, that 2011 haven been the best yr for us. But a new yr brings new hopes, new aspirations, n new beginnings. Im sure 2012 would be an awesome one. I'll promise to be a better daughter, better sister, better friend, better student (no more ponning classes :p), better tuition tcher, better ah yi, better gf n everything else than ever. I know it's gg to work out bcos i dun get mad at bf the way i use to anymore. Getting more tolerance and compromising than ever. For better or for worse we shall find out in the yr to come.

Happy new yr! Happy bday mummy! =*

jingle bells

Spent a homely xmas, xmas at jq's home ytd. Supposed to be a potluck dinner but gathering with like 7 guys, what do u think. Mostly bought drinks, alcohol to be exact, some ordered pizza, some tabao-ed dessert from wherever. At least jx brought made-with-love hotdog buns. Haha. And me n bf brought apple crumble(his masterpiece) and potato salad(super safe) which we spent like a few hours at my house previously, cooking up a storm, literally. Haha.

N after enduring for so long, my tube broke again while eating the pizza. Tsk. $5.70 gone for a tiny mental tube less than 2cm in length. Oh well... It's like the nth time already anw.

N u know what happens with all these guys who r alcoholic and clubber-holic. They DRINK, like ALOT. Think they finish like 2/3 bottles of red wine, some sake and who knows what since i wasnt looking. Me is liang jia fu nv so decided to do something more intellectual than drinking and playing finger guessing games. Which ends up to be mahjong. N i totally got scammed when i sat down bcos they were playing mj, involving money, AKA GAMBLING. You know how when u say u really suck n then e whole table reply that they're not good either. YA RIGHT! I was catching no balls n just kept paying money to whoever and for whatever reason. Santa claus on xmas. Until like a few hrs later n i swear i only had like a dollar left (started with 20 bucks btw), when bf decided to check on me ( drink drink drink, n forgot abt me. tsk) , when he took over n recoup a little for me during the last win. Thank god i lost only 7bucks. Lesson learnt, all set for new year mj ( @ced,joel,jh) hahaha!

Had xmas exchange which always takes quite awhile, all the reallocation bcos somehow somebody just had to pick their own gift. HAHA! Finally got our present n i guess bf n i haven been gd cos our gifts are how-do-i-say, UNIQUE. USB fan for bf n i got a alien organiser which is the size of a tissue box. hahaha. I guess xmas is indeed the season of giving, n to enjoy the joy of getting gifts for ppl.

Cldnt decided where/wat to do after that n eventually e guys decided on summerbreeze at pr park, which is like a bar in case u dunno. (Told u they were alcoholics). Ha! Set off in 3 diff cabs so had some time in btween. So the guys ended up playing all the rides we all used to play when we were much younger. Nostalgic. How all the memories came flowing back... It kind of makes me smile.

N then we went to have bkfast @mac at the new sports recreation centre. Quite a pretty place. N i reached home in the morning like 7am when everyone was abt to embark on a fresh new day. haha

Anw thanks jx, gk for the presents :))

Merry xmas!

commuters nid to understand tat ppl must get off to get in. So freaking let me get off e train at eunos! RAH

IT A COLD DAYYYY.

ENDLESS RAINNNN

I swear im gonna wear my slippers to work if it's still raining tmr cos apparently wearing wedge to work didnt help to keep my feet dry AT ALL

N fatty BIT ME JUST NOW! I SWEAR SHE LEFT A SET OF TEETH MARK ON MY ARMS! N IT WAS RED FOR A WHILE! Imagine how it'll be like when she has her full set of teeth! *shudders*

I shall slp soon bcos i nid to wake up early to offset the time for SLOWPOK trains n really low frequencies. Tsk!

NIGHTS!

when technology isnt that reliable

Me is an angsty commuter. Had lunch at tamp after tuition n was abt to make my way to sch when i realised that red line was down. The worst thing is the screens located at lvl 1 died so the only time u know red line's trains r not workin is when u alr tapped in. How annoying! Did some mental calculation and figured out my best bet was to take express 518 to town. City hall would be probably be trapped with lots of ppl wanting to catch the free shuttles by then.

Bus took dino yrs to come n den it decided to be like the train n underperform, travelling at like say 30kph on a freaking flyover. Which eventually made me 60MIN LATE FOR LSN! WTH!

Officially hate smrt but totally cnt boycott it bcos im such a road idiot, i rely on the train for dear life.

DAMN IT!

What a bad day but at least got to meet mav,fel,tl (all together) finally! Didnt do anything actually, just had to sit ard, talk rubbish n it felt like we were back in jc days. It's so nostalgic, not that i miss anything abt studying in a jc. But let me say this ONE MORE TIME. NO MORE ARMY TALKS!!! RAH!

atonement

I know it's ironic. But at times, i feel like im still not mature/old enough to be in a r/ship. I knw it've been like freaking 36 months. But the sense of helplessness, uncertainties and pessimism still overpower me at times. You think it's easy to love? It is. But to trust, to have faith and to hold on in times of ups and downs can be a daunting task. Like what ppl always like to say, 'it's easy to fall in love but maintaining it, is another issue altogether'. There's much truth in it.

im no expert. i made/make wrong decisions, i lose rationale, i become emotional like a mad woman...

It's funny how ppl lose their mind when it comes to matters of the heart. We all become amateurs all of a sudden (unless u're a player).

We all learn along the way and grow(old) together...

im hope im getting better at this

e one u love n trust

Thanks for being the one there (most of e time when u dun MIA. tsk)

happy anniversary boy (better late den nv)

pretty flowers in full bloom. REALLY HUGE.

changi point city!

went changicity point to explore with gk after work. Main aim was to go to bookfair at expo hall. n guess what! i was expecting mountains of ppl, long q at the cashier n ppl lugging handfuls of books. In contrary, it was kind of empty, lots of space to move ard, waiting time for cashier-bout 1min. =O gk's comment was CUI. LOL! So shocking. But even better this way! Got lots n lots of nice new pretty books ard. :) Bought 8 books including 1 for fatty cos i really cldnt manage the weight anymore. Hee!

Finally got to check out the mall after getting all my loots. Changicity mall is so PWETTY! Really nice place to shop with all the outlet stores. Had dinner at the food court. Alright la...

Then we checked out the water playground located just outside the food court. So cute! N looks fun too. Im too tall(for once) for it though. =p

Pretty walls

my loots!

let me catch my breath

i know it sucks to be financially strapped n i really want to be that nice fren for u to comfort u

but im just too drained with all e other things on my mind

:((

MOR E RETAIL THERAPY @EXPO BKFAIR LATER

happy bday love

my bday boy's 20th bday. Arranged for his classmates to meetup for lunch. Was supposed to be a surprise but this kpo boy kept looking over my shoulder when i was exchanging texts with them so he kind of guessed it alr. Tsk.

Went to j's new hse after that for his bday(too) cum hsewarming celebration. Had free food-so so only. N den just hang ard. Rot a little before REALLY REALLY LONG later, they decided to catch "na xie nian" together. But bf n i watched alr so we caught arthur's xmas instead. It was SO SO SO adorable. Feel so christmasy n I LOVE X'MAS :))

of uneven roads n bad traffic

3d2n mini getaway with bf to KL, away from work, all the stress and uncertainties in reality. Probably my last holiday trip before sch starts next month. Oh man!

Anw took grassland bus which was quite comfy. Looked ard n realised tat we were the only young ppl onboard. =X The rest were mostly old couples gg for the trip or just msian who were on their way back home. Traffic was relatively good, not much jam :)

The driver played movie on the tiny tv right in front of the bus. Was so tiny, we took to slping n listening to ipod instead.

6 hours later we finally reached kl. The traffic in msia was really bad. Lots of jam, untidy rows of cars n reackless driving. =S

Spent most of the time at the shopping malls. Just within walking distance from our hotel, there's like 5 malls alr. =O If you think walking the whole stretch of malls from orchard to sommerset or vice versa, try just one mall in kl. Took us practically the whole day!

Caught twilight there n it was realtively CHEAPER! N one medium popcorn plus drink plus 6 nuggets cost only like 6 bucks.

I think i'll feel so much richer if i stay in msia. But i'll probably die from the traffic! Zebra crossings or pedestrian crossings are just ornaments. No drivers put them to heart, seriously. N the thing i hate most is jaywalking in such dangerous situations. Tsk.

Nothing much actually but it's amazing how holiday just made u more excited abt each day n to see life in a different way :))

i wanna board a plane on my nxt holiday!

Too lazy to upload so many pic at once so shall take a shortcut. haha.

It's a lazy sunday. Practically stayed at home the whole day unless u think gg out for tuition counts. J came over in the morning to pick up stuff from C and then walked over to pick up books from me. Chit chat awhile and den hurray! i got a lift to tuition cos he drove today and my tuition kid stays nearby. I got a nice fren :)

Feels weird today cos i haven seen my tuition kids for like 2 weeks. N i wont see them next wk either. PSLE results coming out next wk n hopefully all's best for him. Apparently he told his mum that he wants me to coach him with math n sci in addition to eng n chi. Hahaha! I initially thght he finds my lsns boring. But that wld mean 4hrs of lsns on sundays... GOSH! My mummy says that i'll turn into a skeleton soon with work from mon-to-fri 830-6pm plus tuition on sat n sun mornings n when sch starts 7-10pm lsns. @.@

Oh ya. After bout 2 weeks at work, my supervisor actually offered me a perm position in the company. But judging from my schedule, i'll really reduce to bags of bones at e end of it. Plus i hate e responsibilities that comes with being a perm. Temps come and go which suits me pretty fine. Hate the feeling of being restrained and bonded. So well...

Anw had tuition ytd with my p1 kid n he was wearing specs! So cute! He gave this bashful smile when i laughed at him. Haha! N when there's a speck of dust on e lens he insisted that they were germs. N he was super liberal when he needed to settle some big business. He look at me with a straight face n told me he needed to go pass motion. Hahaha. Pass motion sounded funny, kind of strange even, cos we're much used to hearing e word shit. =x

The world is super small i swear. Left for tuition n met my junior at the void deck. Guess what he was doing with another guy. SMOKING! In uniform btw. N he had the cheek to say hi to me n talk to me! This is atrocious! I mean of cos i do understand that smoking is a habit n it's not likely that if i tell him not to do it he wont, but i cant possibly talk to him like nth's wrong right. That's beyond me. So he got a earful from me, too bad.

Met bf in the late afternoon n went to vivo since he was in the vicinity. But too bad i wasnt n i was nua-ing so happily at home when he was done. So he reached like an hr before me :p Love the stretch of shops with fox, f21, aldo, zara, gap... u get where im referring to. N i found 2 new places where i can get shoes! gapkids n zarakids! But i hate winter/fall collections. Got to wait till spring's here.

Caught happyfeet2 @gv max. The threatre's huge n really spacious! Haven been there to catch movies for like AGES. happyfeet2 is like the perfect movie for kids. Loads of them in e theatre. happyfeet2 is mainly abt the father and son relationship n eric is SO CUTE, e voice that is. I find it a little flat, lots of singing, dancing, tapping of feet like always.

anw i still cant figure out wat to get for bf's bday. SOS!

I can totally understand y some ppl refuse to watch local productions.

'The Oath' on chn 8 started out pretty well, but the problem with local dramas is that they tend to have ridiculous storylines. Seriously, how can a passionate doctor get blinded by greed and fame so easily n become so despicable overnight?

I bet they'll have silly endings as well.

Tsk..

Went dental today n i've got red brackets for xmas! =)

Dentist was super duper efficient today. I think the whole thing from registering to tightening, to making new appt took less than 15min! =0

Was waiting to get my next appt date set when i heard someone calling me. Turned ard n saw my ex students. Apparently we have the same dentist. The world's so small.

To prove that point, i met another student while having lunch at nex with gk in the afternoon. Usu i wld brush aside surveyors but bcos he's my students so i've got no choice. =/ The weird thing is i've only been to their class to relief a couple of lessons, but they still rmb me. Goes to show how often their tchers werent ard. =x

But it's rather heartwarming to know that they still bother to say hi and acknowledge your presence bos they cld have jus walk right past u like any stranger on the streets.

:)

Waiting for my antm....

Holiday plans all set :)

musings

Had tuition today n my p1 kid is so funny. Kind of miss him after missing one week of lsn.

kid: i need to starting wear specs nxt wk

me: how come?!

kid: bcos im blind

me: HAHA! It's called short-sighted, u're not blind

kid: (looks at me) mummy,...

me: HUH im not ur mummy

kid: (laugh) Eh, i call wrong

kid: where do ghosts swim?

me: ghosts dun swim

kid: yes!

me: where?

kid: The DEAD sea

me: Ohhh...

kid: y dragons dun slp at night?

me: they dun like to slp?!

kid: no.

me: den why?

kid: bcos they fight the kNIGHT.

me: -.-

See, he makes me laugh

:))

it's so hard to communicate with someone who jus refuses to reply ur msges. Im not even talking abt immediately or 5 or 10 min. Jus within a freakin hr wld suffice.

seriously.

stop throwing questions, feed me solutions.

Another babysitting day.

My sis had to go to office to finish up her freelance work so i had to take care of fatty again. Good thing she's really chirpy and cooperative today.

Watched some telly, played a little den fed her some yummy grandma-made sweet potato porridge. N she LOVES it! So scared that i might over feed her.

Den played somemore. Changed her smelly diapers.

Now she's down with grandpa for her favourite daily stroll.

So i finally have time to eat my lunch.

It's funny how i dun feel hungry at all actually.

mummy training

It's a stay-at-home-be-my-mummy tuesday. Sis had to go for press check @damn-far caldecott to link her high res pictures. Whatever that means with all the jargons that i dun quite get. To cut the story short, it means that i got to babysit fatty for half a day.

Sis left at 2pm when she/we finally coax fatty to bed in her cute sarong, the thingy that bounces. But with all the annoying drilling downstairs, n fatty being a light sleeper, had to have her stay in my sight round e clock jus in case she stirs.

Sis wld usu be dying to get away from her but today she complains that she's having anxiety from separating with fatty. Nonsense much. Ha.

Fatty was wailing so loudly in her slp, i had to wake her up. Must be some really bad monsters in her nightmare. Poor girl...

Watched some silly show on okto while i fed her bread. Fatty loves to eat nonsense

Daddy came home at 3-ish n fatty wailed so loudly, refusing to let my dad go put down his bag before picking her up. She must be real bored of me. Hurhur.

Daddy went down to get some errands done n den e worst thing on earth happened. Smelled something stinko, check her diapers. Guess what i saw- GOLD. GOLD POO! Damn it. Second time i cleaned her poo ok. Ultra smelly i almost fainted. =S

Im the world's nicest ah yi.

Daddy got back n brought her down for her daily stroll.

So now it's ME-time before fatty's back. Got to heat up her milk, clean her up later, feed her milk, n den coax her to bed.

Gosh! Being childless isnt that bad i guess.

She's adorable though.

monday no-blues

Monday today but it feels like tuesday since i didnt see bf on sun. Gloomy day with the heavy downpour in the early afternoon. Feels duper good to be rotting at home on a Monday.

Feeling lazy but with LOTS of mental strength and self persuasion, went to ndc to get my dangling and poking wire problem solved before fri's trip. So crowded surprisingly and waited for like an hr.

Met up with gk, ran some errands n den had dinner together @pastamania. Pasta was slightly below standard, must be bcos of the huge crowd the chef just anyhow. Cheesy crumble too dry, aglio olio too oily n spicy. =/ But the garlic bread is yums, esp after u make them heat up for u. =)

Buffet dinner at todai @mbs after work today. Thought the boss drives to work initially but she didnt. Cabb-ed to mbs and the driver uncle was so eager to start conversation, in mandrian. So only the boss n i cld understand. But the conversation was totally pointless. -.-

Reached the place n it was flooded with ppl! Mostly tourists i suppose. Wide array of food from all sort of cusines. Western, japanese, korean, chinese, deep fried, grilled, seafood... Totally spoilt for choice.

But i guess there's only so much you can eat, before u can sick of them even though there are like super yummy n fresh.

I think the best way to know ppl is really to have meals together. Bcos u cant help but have to make some small talks no matter wat. Didnt talk much cos i dunno wat to say but it's nice to hear n listen to adults' stories.

Oh well... Yummy meal, albeit a little sinful n e meal is as much as my one day's wage. =O

eye doc

Had tuition at 11 today instead of the usual 10am, which means i cld slp in for an additional hr. Shiok! But not much diff since i slpt at 4am hours before. My brain was like not working at all throughout the whole session. Haha.

Rotting at fel's house now. Supposed to drop her my gc n head home, but apparenly that didnt happen. Still rotting here. Hee. N that's how i spent my entire sunday.

saturday/
Educational trip at sp today. Helped out cd with his clinical modules after tuition today, which equals to free eye checkup. The downside, sore backside from sitting down for 3HOURS. Been eons years since i last checked my eyes and my specs was like from more than 4 years. =O Not like i wear them though.

Anw got checked by cd's female fren and i swear she came so near i could smell her. =/ n it's kind of awkward. Ha. But i guess getting checked by a gal is better than getting done by a guy. Started off with the normal routine-read the row of alphabets on the screen with ur left n right eye respectively den getting checked by the machine. But apparently e sch has much more gimmick. Check eyes reaction with light, accommodation, colour blindness etc. All i can rmb is lots of equipments and lots of qns ans going back n forth, n ALOT ALOT of BLINDING LIGHTS FLASHING. Almost wanted to push her away cos it's so annoying.

Thebest thing is you get to find out for urself how professional optometrist does it cos the tcher will come in, do the exact same stuff on u so that he can counter-check the student's reading. The tcher is so quick n succinct in his checking. N he could tell that i had eczema by looking at my eyes. Totally amazing! Plus he was so SO gentle when he was pulling/pushing my eyelids unlike the student. Tsk.

But the most unbelievable thing is- he told me that i can throw my specs away cos i dun need specs at all. Great!

Was supposed to continue with contact lens fitting but dont you think it's ridiculous to try on contact lens when u dont need specs?! Lol! So tried cosmetic lens instead aka colour contacts. COOL MUCH! Nice BIG eyes! But it's too much discomfort for my ultra sensitive eyes.

Finally done at 5. *YAWN*

pics soon

thai food for dinner

the eye test room. Super sleek n clean looking

It feels like a Monday morning but anyway today's thurs. Chilling at Starbucks now cos im 25min early for work n I dunno y since I leave house e same time everyday.

Love love love caramel latte.

Gtg to work alr. Bye! Boss giving dinner treat at todai at mbs after work today! :o

Feels like a sunday today. In fact, it's even better since i dun have tuition in the morning and can finally sleep in.

Met bf who booked out just hrs ago since he had duty the day before. Caught "In Time".

It's really good, amanda seyf looks like a doll with her preppy hair and big round eyes. Sci-fic and romance all jam-packed in one. N it's so realistic. You know the saying "time is money"? They made it literal. Time becomes a currency. You finished up the time u have, u time-up, u die. It just brings forth the very real social problem in our everyday life-the widening income gap between the rich and poor.

Right, that's all im saying. Dun wanna be a spoilsport for those who's planning to watch.

Back at bf's hse and caught "Real Steel". Father and son story and it's equally heartwarming.

Feels gd to be typing normally on a gd keyboard. =) But that's all for now. Gtg so bf can book in.

Till then~

sat with gf

Met up with gk today. It's been like so so so long... Went retail therapy @bugis, chill out, n update each other. N it's amazing how much u find out after each meetup. Hahaha.

Anw, made her tag along with me to some indoor bbq with ppl she dunno. I bet she thinks that they're the most bizarre ppl she've met n she probably dunno y im associated with them. Haha! I know right... Anw stayed out till almost midnight before we left. N we stink like mad!

It's only human to err. But what's impt is to make the right decision thereafter, even if it makes ppl think u're insane. Ha. Live life with a leap of faith =)
