third day of cny
Tuesday, January 31, 2006 9:39 PM

third day of cny. i feel....happily tired.

wooshed out of my hse in the morn to have lunch at my mum's cousin's place :( his wife didnt cook her yummy chicken wings this yr, or her delicious soup :( WHY OH, WHY?!

aft tat, we went to watch Fearless at west mall with my parents (its been such a long time since we've watchehd a movie together o_o). and while we were buyin tickets, ARGH. the ticket guy wldn't belive i'm 16 T_T i'm gonna be 18 this yr alredy!!!!! rarr. so i had to dig out my ezlink card to get him to give me a ticket. sigh.

jet li is such a classic! he goes WHAM BAM and the bad guys go POOF. so much energy! the way he fights is almost like a dance *_* so inspiring

aft fearless, i ate some good jap food! i had spicy tempura ramen :p
its sooo sooo good! it was so spicy my nose kept running, but it was running damn happily xD yum yum yum. a bowl of ramen, a side dish, and a drink for 14.50 is worth it, no? and the ramen don't taste like maggi mee o_o some ramens are practically plastic.

aft tat, we had in-hse hazelnut gelato served in the shape of a slice of cake, and mango sorbet, served in wad looked almost like the shape and size of a listerine cap....but a thousand times yummier. xD it had a thin mango flavored white choco coating it, and when u bite into the sorbet, it just explodes mango into ur mouth. oooomph.

fatting! happily! x)

so random.

happy chinese new year 2006!
Sunday, January 29, 2006 9:46 PM

woohoo. a new (chi) year. like whoosh. terribly fast. before you know it, you'll be like one of those aunties/uncles sitting unglamorously on the floor screaming for your kid to sit still while you try to feed him mushed up unknown food.
up and over the hill we go. haha. alright, i'll stop so you wont be so troubled.
as sq puts it, "troubled? too busy to be troubled!"

started off cny rather diff this yr. woke up to find my parents out of the hse already, so we didnt get to serve them tea accompanied with well wishes, nor did we get to recieve ang baos from their hands.
instead, lying on their bed beside the ang baos was the sweetest note:

"Hi, good morning Do Re Mi!(eldersis,me,youngerbro)
Gong Xi Fa Chai! Going to church to celebrate & give thanks to God for blessing me & papa with 3 lovely, filial (i think:she's tokin abt me o_o?) children!
Love,
mummy"

RARR. so sweeet. makes me feel like such a bad girl *_*

well, all the girls on daddy's side turned up in pretty dresses! haha. we're cousins, alrite. we think alike. played ban luck (or 21), mahjong and ate till abt 4pm b4 we whooshed off to mummy's side. there, we siblings played monopoly with this guy called jason, whom we don't usually tok to, and HAHA. he made the game so fun! He had an alliance with my lil bro and then proceeded to build a hotel on Piccadily T_T almost killed me when i landed there twice. (and yup. i realise wad a loser i am, playin monopoly with fake money when everyone else is out there dai di-ing with loads of real $$)

and. i just rmbed my grandpa wasnt' ard this yr. maybe it's better this way, no? i rmb the last few new yrs. frailer and thinner each yr. rest well, ye ye! i think nai nai still misses him, although when i ask, she'd prob just brush me away. she'd go, "last time yeye wld help me do this..." "yeye wld bake waffles..." "yeye wld..."
zui ying xing ruan! like me! hur hur xP *my halo sparkles*

to aman/aud/qy: i'm NOT temperamental!!!!!!! and i'm NOT greedy! and and and i love you all xD ! while others can multi-task, i haf a v special power.....
i can multi-love!
no one can beat tat x)

plastic treeee!!!
Saturday, January 28, 2006 7:31 PM

difference in thinking
Sunday, January 22, 2006 7:35 PM

a cat thinks: You feed me, you pet me, you adore me, you love me...I MUST BE GOD.

a dog thinks: You feed me, you pet me, you adore me, you love me...YOU MUST BE GOD.

you want to compete heads on...literally o_0?

adventuring with my hair
Friday, January 20, 2006 1:05 PM

i feel like i've gone on a little adventure with my hair. now, the bottom left side is long, and the rest is...short. i feel like a punk. lol. actually, i now look like one!

i don't LOVE my new hair, but i don't hate it either :) it's interesting. lol. oh no! i no longer look guai, so i doubt uncles wld treat me as nice as before. hur hur! i also secretly think aud's gonna kill me for gettin something so boyish. she likes her girlfren girlish...i think. haha.

one thing i've got to say of the hairdreser i got today, May.
her massaging skills are like, superb! not too hard or soft, and at all the right spots on my neck & head too! x) i'd go back again just for the massage.

alrighty. off to sch! i think...i shall wear a skirt today so i don't look like a butch
xD ha!

laughable day x)
Thursday, January 19, 2006 8:45 PM

yay! i'm gonna cut my hair tml :P hur hur. not cos i don have work to do, but because aman has open hse duty to do from 1pm-6pm so i'm free from proj work xD hur hur~!!!

well, today was a rather unlucky day for me, i'd say. oddly, i think it's v laughable :D lol. i woke up at 8, then forced myself back to sleep, thinking that i hardly get enuff sleep and that i'd wake up in time cos i have my alarm set at 9. when i finally woke up, not to the alarm, but rather to the heat, IT WAS 11.20 am. not bcos i was a piglet! no. it was cos my alarm was set stupidly to 9 PM, not AM :(

o_o horrors. i have to reach sch at 12!!!
so aft my quickest bath ever, i dashed out of the hse at 11.35am. thank god for his blessings: i got a cab rite aft i stepped out of the estate.
oh, bad things don't end there.

we had our dinner aft lecture, and when we got to do the animation room. RARR. all the tables were taken up. there wasn't even one empty chair. rarr rarrr. waste of time! we were so hoping to do finish our animations by today :( see, mr bhakta. it's not that we're hardly workin. there isn't a space for us to. *seeks comfort in my 'plants'* (aman's and mr bhakta's little secret)

then, my second pair of straw slippers broke (again)! so darling aman offered to swap since she lived nearby. and...the worse part was tat i passed some horrid luck to her. she went home with my broken slippers only to find the lifts spoilt. so she walked up 13 floors with MY broken slippers :( sorry aman, my dear.i feel so bad u love me so much. ha! so ironical :(

well, came home and tot abt it all...it just made me laugh :) haha.
Amanda, i'm gonna cut my hair! aren't you relieved? haha.

by artsy existence
i miss the rain. rarrr! the heat is in!

no hair cut tml :(
Tuesday, January 17, 2006 7:34 PM

SOB. OMG. SOB. SOOOOOOOOOOOBBBBBBBBBBB*********

no more hahas :(see previous entry):
i aint gonna cut my hair tml. y? bcos teachers just won't allow me to reach home in time for an early dinner EVER.
:( i have make-up maya lessons from 5pm to 7pm tml :(
thursday, i have to stay back for animation, which is due next week
friday, i have story reel to do, then my evening is booked for reunion dinner
when, oh, when will i get my hair cut? :( snip snap cut rarr.

well, at least there's ONE thing i'm happy abt today xD mr bhakta said my box fold was good! (at least, he said it for the fourth flap) hurhur! ego boost! and contrary to popular believe, my ego is probably only like, 1cm by 1cm. so tiny.

feel the fate
4:36 PM

lalala~! in school now attending typo lesson. hur hur. x) tracing fonts & crazily brain-storming is making me a little wonky, so i decided to take a break!

CRAZY BUSY.
Monday, January 16, 2006 7:41 PM

(yum. this looks good. almost like a menu for jellybeans. it reminds me of haagen dazs, actually.)

RARR. it's been so CRAZY BUSY i didnt even realise the weekend was gone and i keep thinking it's just ytd tat i saw the fireworks and walked halfway home from city hall. i think it was that mentality that sparked the dream i had this morning. i dreamt it was still sunday, and for some unknown reason my sunday was free (now my sundays are fully booked for church activities from 10am-7pm. o_o mind boggling.) and guess whattt??!!!

in the dream, i dreamt i was going to cut my hair in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
then slowly do my assgs in the evening. so when my alarm rang, i jumped up straightaway (the tot of cutting my hair does wonders), thinking "YES. I AM OFF TO CUT MY HAIR AT KIMAGE xD !"

then it dawned on me, tat ytd i spent the real sunday in church, and spent only 45mins doing my ecard assg. *sob* i feel sorry for myself that i cld even come up with such a terrible card. rarr. busier weeks ahead, with about every assg due on week 13, and major assgs at that. rarr rarr rarr!

the only thing i'm not rarr-ing abt....is my saturday spent with my dear mummy :p hurhur! new b&w jailbird-lookalike shirt, new black skirt, new b&w shoes! isn't my wardrobe colorful? hurhur x) ahhhhh~!!! i love shopping.

and arggggh. i want to cut my hair i want to cut my hair i want to go cut my hair NOW. it seems quite pathetic to not even have the time to visit a salon :(

i love the rain

so many people hate the rain. it's cold. it's wet. it's a mist.


but it's also a quiet reflective beauty.


a humble sparkle of vibrance.


a drop of anticipation.



a touch of unspoken love!


clara loves the rain cos it's cold, it's wet, it's a mist, it's calm, it's reflective. it's quiet and dark.

Please don't stop the rain!


i want to go to kimage!
Tuesday, January 10, 2006 9:21 PM


i want to go to kimage and get a new hairstyle!
(not exactly the one above, but just tot it looks cool x) heh! )

rarr. i want a new hairstyle. mine's getting boring. haha :) so impromptu, i know. i really didnt know which hair saloon to go to, but aft going through a few forums, i decided...kimage! :) yay :) haha :) lala :) cut. snip. snap. rarr.

hardly know it.
Monday, January 09, 2006 7:33 PM

i've never really thought it was entirely possible, but love at first sight probably does exist. my sis was telling me about this guy whom she had always noticed in class...then one day he just sat next to her and they started chatting like old friends, and and and (:x) but, oh, boyfriends & commitments... i think this one is much better... :p cooler, sweeter, nicer but not possibly taller. hur hur!

rarr. i got another B today, but i decided i shan't be B-itter about it :) for the glory of God! it's not my work even if i do get an A anyway. haha. it's His! mighty hands, he has :)

......and well, still confused, yes i am. but yeap, aud, i'm feeeeeling it! lol xD

From the beginning of eternity
To the end of time and space
To the beginning of every end
And the end of every place.
What am I?

NEW LOVE: w900i
10:49 AM



new love! xD my w900i
2 megapixel cam, Memory Stick PRO Duo slot (up to 4gb), 470mb internal memory blablabla.
LOVE.

my later dinner last night.
10:30 AM

a terribly late dinner, late enough to be supper, brings to mind several things.

like how a piece of tough meat is good to go down my oesophagus, when it's normally barred till my jaws whine.
almost like when you're down in the dumps, and a hold of even a strange hand tastes like chocolate with raisins.

my late dinner also brought to mind how cold & light & flat (!) my stomach feels, but, then, my stomach had time-travelled to back when ladies liked having a prosperous body.
almost like how you love your best friend to bits, but its not her call you're hoping for.

it even brought to mind how i'm not doing well in school, how i've faltered from last sem, how i seem to be on a treadmill while others are on a running track. and during my hour long bath, that thought slowly evolved to this:

that i'm getting bags of bunches of bitching bastards of bewildering 'B's.

BAMM. tat sounds nice! xD

bu fu.
Friday, January 06, 2006 10:14 PM

bu fu.
* growl*

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover mewithin your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are god

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust

*tries not to growl*

Thursday, January 05, 2006 9:11 PM

.RESOLUTIONS.
Monday, January 02, 2006 3:00 PM

i dreamt of cakes last night. funny, since i nv liked cakes much. there was this white cream cake, chocolate fudge cake, chocolate flakes and bits and pieces of cake all about the place, like cherries and stuff.

hmmm. it's a new year and i shld make some resolutions! erm. so here goes:
*thinks reeeeally hard*

  1. be more active in church activities
  2. do my hmwk within 3 days of getting it (and not last min work!)
  3. be more patient & less short-tempered
  4. run/swim at least once a week
  5. try to give presents punctually
  6. be more helpful, regardless of whether i'm busy or not

yay :) i think six resolutions will be more than enuff for me to keep. i'll stop here.

hur hur x)


time of your life.
Sunday, January 01, 2006 2:11 PM

new year's eve: went to esplanade to watch fireworks!!! xD OMG. all you who didnt go, u missed out on the most spectacular display ever!!!
it was even nicer than national day parade's. this time the fireworks synchronised with the music! for e.g, there was once when the music was slow, almost like a time of reflection for us, and the fireworks shot were golden rain, just slowly falling; almost illustrating the music. SO GORGEOUS.

there were new fireworks toooo! it exploded in golden, then when the gold faded, the tips turned purple, and all the purple glitter just stayed there in the sky, giving you an idea of how much more beautiful spore wld look with a sky full of twinkling stars. xD AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
i just love it. i love them all. so gorgeous. thank you, God ^_^ !

happy new year: aft all the fireworks were gone, we went to lau pa sat to eat supper! yum yum. had honey roasted chicken, carrot cake, and satays! *damnfull* xD eeee! i love you all: hz aud my sq clar ry xm ch fw love love love. haha. it wldn't be so fun without u all :)

ooo. but i haf yet to narrate the most fun part of my new year's day. aft supper, everyone else except shi qi, chee hoe & i took a ride on meiyin's car. so we three muskerteers went to try flag a cab. IMPOSSIBLE, no matter how we tried.

aft a good deal of time was wasted...
me: "why don't we start walking home already?"
sq: "YES! good idea."

so yup. we started walking............................
from lau pa sat to PSA tanjong pagar o_o. now here, is the start of fun. aft walkin past PSA, there was no proper road anymore. we had to walk through this constrution site. aft walkin under this dark bridge (no lights at all), we had to walk a narrow sandy path under the whole construction site thingy supported by onli a few steel rods. it was really under the construction site, and not on the outside, so it really was kind of scary.

i rmb thinking "Dear Lord, pls protect me from any evil spirits lurking around!" haha. i didnt dare turn to look behind me. but aft coming out from that murky darkness, i start to think to myself, "Who gets to do that?" haha xD so cool

aft tat, we came to the expressway. AYE. no roads, so we walked on the grass. then slowly, there was no more grass, so we walked on the road. haha. we even paused to take pictures with chee hoe's camera to show how we kicked start 2006! woohoo! walkin on the road started to get scary when we turned into an exit, and we became much closer to the cars whooshing past us at 50km/h. *gulps*
we were so grateful to find a path aft tat, and aft crossing a road, we found a cab! (finally!)
so :) that ends my new year adventure 2006 xD but there miite just be a 2007. i'll nv know.


Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
