Back to slacking mode..

haha.. after having very little sleep for the last 2 weeks and worrying about my presentation, I can finally relax a bit.. becos the progress report presentation is over on thurs.. haha.. but I think I only can relax until tmr liao.. I have to chiong my project starting on mon.. got a feeling cannot finish lor.. the final report due on april 11 leh.. left 2 months only lor.. so scary..

anyway on thurs, went to Zeus gathering.. only 2 seniors turned up but most of the freshies have turned up.. quite successful lor.. and most of them don't usually see the rest around in sch lor.. so it's a gathering to really keep in touch and talk crap.. nixon as usual likes to talk a lot of crap.. haha.. and he says I very xing fu.. becos I ate the whole muddy mud pie on my own.. actually he means sinful lah.. it's actually to reward myself for working so hard for the presentation.. but I really like the muddy mud pie there mah.. but I must admit that it's a bit too much.. haha.. I still manage to finish lah.. cannot waste.. I really enjoy this gathering becos it's really hard to have an og gathering nowadays..

Fri.. I went to a talk.. I must say that I have attended it more of curiosity.. becos I never atend this kind of talk before.. actually signed up for the talk alone and wanted to attend it alone.. but I still met my friends there and even on the way there.. all is coincidence.. the speakers just talk and talk and talk.. I was quite tired but luckily didn't fall asleep becos the talk is quite interesting.. everything is new to me as I have no experience.. actually when ppl ask me about what I feel about the talk and whether it is accurate.. I have no answer for them.. I just say a okay.. what can I say? I am just there to learn.. and I did get my answer.. the food there is really nice.. really worth more than the $2 registration fee..

today.. I went to the temple at bugis with mum.. have wanted to go.. don't know why.. just feel like going.. never gone there after exams during holidays.. just feel something missing.. so go lor.. and I also wanted to go bugis to shop mah.. buy new year clothes.. at the temple, I casted the divination sticks.. got a lot that is not good but also not a bad lot.. it tells me not to think too much.. not to be distracted.. work hard and I will get what I want.. I think I have to stop dreaming.. and stop worrying..

Gathering in real life..

its a primary sch gathering but it seems like a speed dating.. haha.. 3 gals and 3 guys.. all are singles.. and rows of gals and guys sat opposite each other.. haha.. okay lah.. just a concident lah.. and just purely a primary sch classmates gathering.. a keep-in-touch session like what yahui said.. haha.. but only 6 of us leh.. a bit too few.. but we did talk a lot.. haha.. as yahui has kept in touch with most of the other classmates.. she got the most juicy "keep in touch" news for us.. haha.. in simple term is gossip lah.. they find me talk very random leh.. always ask random question.. really mah? haha.. anyway.. lennon is damn lame and crappy lah.. yahui really can be a match maker.. becos she was so busy going thru the photos in her phone to recommend gals to the guys.. haha..

she also recommended us some of the good dishes at thai express.. I ate olive rice.. really not bad leh.. yummy yummy..
Me, amelia, yahui..

yahui, lennon, yao guang, me and wei zhua..

Really can't believe I know amelia and lennon for 16 years already.. from pri 1 till now.. am I so old? haha..

After that.. I went to watch "Dan in real life" with the guys.. it's a very very funny movie.. I recommend you all to go watch it if you haven't.. it's not the crappy kind of comedy.. and not those with dirty jokes.. but a smart family comedy.. sometimes the jokes just caught u by surprise.. it's the behaviour and action of Dan that makes it so funny.. I really laughed a lot.. haha..

here's the last sem..

yes.. my last sem in NUS starts tmr.. so fast.. and my progress report is coming really soon but I still slacking.. okay okay.. I will stop slacking.. and do my slides.. haha..

since it's my last sem, I will treasure all my time here.. treasure everythings here.. and all my friends.. you are what I will going to miss..

Extending the affection..

Went to avril's myspace and a Sum 41 song "With me" was featured.. Not sure why is it so.. becos Sum 41's lead vocalist is her husband or the song got to do with her? I also not sure..

anyway, since I like Avril.. I also must listen to her husband's songs mah.. to know how good is it.. haha.. maybe I will like Sum 41 also.. their songs are really rock songs that are quite noisy.. to me they are quite okay.. some songs are nice.. as I know some people don't really like noisy songs so I picked it which is actually quite nice.. and not so noisy.. it's from their latest album "Underclass Hero".

actually quite envious of her.. found her true love so fast and got married so young.. she's a year older than me and she got married at the age of 22.. from the interviews that I read about her, I see that she actually had been longing for love and really will want to get married once she found her love.. and she finally got it.. for me, I really don't know when will be the time for me to be find my love and marry to him.. the fortune teller says it's at my age of 27.. it's so long.. did I have to wait for so many years more.. although I may seems ambitious.. I never want to be an very accomplished working woman my whole life.. I even thinks of get married earlier and have children.. haha.. thinking like a "small woman"..

I want!

Went Novena Square and Square 2 today with mother.. walk walk and shop shop.. bought flats, t-shirt and belt.. haha.. I paid for flats and my mother pay for cheaper tee and belt lor.. they total add up also not more than the flats lor.. :P

we were walking in the velocity where they are many sportswear shops.. just sightseeing there lor.. becos the things too ex liao.. but I saw something that I really want.. it's a watch.. haha.. there is a shop called Animal.. it is a UK brand for windsurfing clothing.. and they have so pretty watches there.. spotted 2 female fashion watches .. Mooji series.. must put them on my blog just in case I forgot.. haha.. bad memory yah..

Silver
Black/pink

I particularly like the silver one becos it can suit clothings easier.. but the black one is special.. my mother likes that.. haha..

I didn't buy lah.. becos too ex liao.. no discount some more.. $175 leh.. is not that I can't afford but too ex liao lah.. when I have more money and my mother approve then I will buy lor.. but I don't think she will approve.. she is so restricting..

we always quarrel over money issues.. maybe I spent too much of her money bah.. I am too dependent on her to buy things.. I always reach out my hand for her money.. but I have no other money source mah.. and it is also not that we can't afford.. and not that we are in need of money for other use but why can't I spend more.. maybe she feels that I think that money come too easy to me.. and I already so big liao..still take money from her to buy things.. but I only expect her to pay when we shop together mah.. haha.. that's my aim when I shop with her.. and I also seldom shop mah and seldom buy things.. during school time, I don't even spend much leh.. only go school, eat in sch.. don't know save her how much money.. only during hols that I spend more.. and she don't see that.. she only look at how much I spend now..

now you know not every only child have the privilege to buy everything she wants bah.. I don't look like I am an only child.. so many ppl don't know that I am one.. haha.. thankz to my upbringing.. which is something good..

she even accused me of stealing her money to buy CDs.. Oh my Goodness! I was so upset to be accused lor.. this is not the first time she said that.. it is not a joke anymore.. not a joke to me! all the CDs are bought using my own savings.. Savings! how can a mother don't trust her daughter? is it becos of her menopause.. making her suspicious.. but I really can't tolerate this.. I don't tolerate people accuse me of doing what I didn't do.. that's me.. just becos I has the access to her money.. becos I take my own allowance.. of course I don't take more lah.. only take what is agreed lor.. not what she thinks..

and becos of this.. she changed the system of giving me allowance.. okay lor.. I don't mind.. she will give me $200 per month.. I think it will be more than enough for me de.. since school starting soon le.. hee.. but I still don't believe I spend a lot.. she must be the one spending a lot and she don't know.. so when she don't have much less to save then she thinks it's me who cause that.. so bad..

New current favourites

2 Korean dramas:

The 1st shop of Coffee Prince, a comedy romance show which is quite crazily funny sometimes... funny in the way that the guys and the not guy, not gal behave..

Hwang Jin Yi, a sad period, traditional drama that will make you cry.. I really cried lor.. the actor who acted as Hwang Jin Yi's lover looks so young lor.. compared to the actress.. like not mature yet.. haha.. so I went to search his profile.. and he is 21 years old.. so young, even younger than me and the actress is already 29 years old.. haha.. the 2nd lover.. he is the handsome actor with dimples.. although he has beard on.. I can still recognise him.. and he is still younger than the actress also.. 27 years old..
I used to don't like Korean drama.. prefer japanese drama to korean but no choice.. mediacorp only shows korean dramas.. anyway.. as long as the plot is not like winter sonata.. the lead will not have cancer or get into car accidents.. I will watch it bah..

but don't know why, I have a habit of pointing out whether the actresses had plastic surgery before.. becos they are just too pretty.. and their modified noses and chins are just so obvious.. haha..

So touching..

I received a msg today.. quite touched by it and very happy to received it.. becos never know there are people who will care about me.. and never know I will leave a good impression in people.. it was from a gal freshie.. she said: "Big Steph! Haha tis msg is abit random but jux wanna say I miss u!! :)" I also miss her too! and the rest becos there is no OG outing at all this hol.. no only OG but also the other OGs.. seems like only me care about organising outings.. but I had already made up my mind to not organising outing liao.. so I think we will have to depend on coincidence to meet in school bah..

and this New Year, I also received a call from a friend to wish me Happy New Year.. first time in my life leh.. really touched by it lor.. even if this will be the one and only call for my whole life, I will still be happy and will remember it dearly.. becos I am just so sentimental.. haha.. just becos there is a network jam and msg cannot get thru and he called me to send his greetings.. maybe I am just one of his friends whom he called.. but it is still something precious.. and it brings a new light and new meaning to me about what friends are for.. I really hope to have him as my friend for as long as ever.. a friend who I will share my joys and even talk nonsensical jokes and stuff...

as a single child.. with no siblings.. friends are like everything to me.. but having really good friends is really rare and difficult.. so must really treasure them..

Wow! something new..

On the train.. between newton and orchard station.. you will observed some special M&M electronic moving display panels.. wishing you Happy New Year.. saw this twice.. but didn't get a good pic.. becos my back is facing the display.. I only got this pic.. why didn't they have it on both sides of the tunnel.. haha..
look at their expression.. so amazed by the display right... and you can see the reflection of the display on the window..

The alcoholic weekend..

I am going to blog about the New Year weekend I had.. Finally received the photos from my friends..

Fri 28th Dec.
No photos from this becos nobody took photos.. it was at my Prof's house.. Must go! of course, it's compulsory but must go becos there are food, drinks and games.. My Prof and his family had put in a lot of effort to organise this.. cooked some simple dishes.. wrapped the presents and planned the games.. this is my second time there and the games are different from the last time.. I heard from the lab ppl.. the games are always different.. effort leh.. haha.. this time we played some word games.. charade.. dance revolution and Wii game bowling.. first time tried Wii.. quite impressed that it can detect speed and direction and motion.. and more and more high tech leh.. but play computer game.. I am always not good in it.. maybe I am slow bah.. luckily I have some very good group members.. they scored well and we won most of the games.. haha.. and every game we won we got a prize.. not bad.. going home with quite a number of prizes.. although the prizes may not be useful, had fun in the games is also good.. there was gift exchange.. and I received a Esprit cup.. I am using it now!

Party at Prof's house also means there's liquor.. there's a strong orange flavoured liquor which each person has to drink a little for losing a game.. and there is not so strong cocktail and baileys with vanilla.. this time round nobody is drunk as you can choose to sing for forfeit and many people did that.. for my group, we don't sing.. we just drink.. haha..

Sun 30 Dec.
the gathering that takes place every 6 months on the 30th.. this time the number of ppl who attended is much lesser but the interaction seems to be better becos we played some card or mahjong games.. not like last time we will form groups and only chat within the group.. sometime quite sian.. haha..

some of us went to Ryan's house earlier and we played a crazy mahjong game.. we take turn to open a covered tile and once we see 4 the same, we will snatch the tiles.. the one with the most tiles collect win.. haha.. playing with the 38 gang quite scary.. their movement is so fast.. haha.. and they always win.. after dinner, we played dice and card games.. who lose will have to drink a vodka mixed drink.. and I did not lose much so I don't get to drink much but those who said they can't drink much alway kana.. always not so lucky.. haha.. and some of them got a bit drunk.. anyway.. it is still a great nite!
Smiling happily..
the seriously no teeth one.. haha..

Counting down..
Mon 31st Dec.. it's a nite of new experience.. is it a nite to learn something bad? maybe.. haha..
I and two gal friends decided to countdown together.. just find a pub in clark quay.. sit down, chat and drink.. that's our plan.. my friend recommended The pump room..actually we met a bit late lah.. 10 plus.. and I was late.. hee.. sorry lah.. must make up mah.. haha.. it's late.. so some places need cover charges.. and the pump room's cover charge is $40.. too ex.. heard double O is also $40.. we will rather go club then pub bah.. haha.. so we just walk around to find a cheaper pub.. and one of my friends suggested China One.. it was located above TCC.. the decor very china.. quite special.. the place is consisted of a few rooms but you can walk thru all of them.. there were also pool tables.. and a live band playing..

The chinese decor..
We had sat here..

the cover charge is cheaper.. $32 with 2 drinks.. and there is no queue so we just enter lor.. the time was also getting closer to 12am liao.. don't want to countdown on the street mah.. Once we paid and went in, we found that the crowd is actually older and there are many ang mohs.. we couldn't find seats.. it is actually quite packed and many people are standing.. so we just stood around at the bar counter.. waiting for our drinks.. we ordered lychee martini and apple martini.. yes.. they are counted as housepours there.. in the clubs that I went.. it is never a housepour lor..
the gals before drinking..

okay.. we are standing and waiting then my friend met her module mate "EZ".. my friend is actually not really close to him lah but since we have no seats, this module mate just intro us to his friends and got some seats for us at the other bar counter.. okay.. his friends are an indian couple.. quite friendly.. sitting there is fun.. can watch the bartender do some exciting stunts.. throwing the bottle and cups here and there.. never see this live before lor.. so is fun.. and the bartender is also very friendly and goofy.. he recommended our next drink cranberry vodka.. quite nice..

countdown came.. 10, 9, 8.. 3, 2, 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Yeah!.. such a happy atmosphere.. everybody was wishing Happy New Year to everyone else and hugging their friends.. haha.. my first time experience this.. even strangers also wish Happy New Year to one another.. the environment there is so friendly..

I thought there will be no more alcohol for us after our 2 drinks but before we finished our 2nd drink.. EZ treated us to long island tea.. a strong drink lor.. one of my friends is getting drunk even without finishing 2 drinks.. maybe she drank too fast and she got high.. the other gal don't even dare to finish all her drinks.. afraid to get drunk.. me leh.. hee.. still finshed all my drinks.. don't want to waste mah.. and I still feels okay.. haha..

anyway, after counting down, the indian gal left and then the guys intro us to some more of their friends who are with their gal friends.. okay.. they are also indians but their gal friends got indian, chinese and ang mohs.. they really drink a lot and dance a lot.. and then comes a new "Friend", Chivas Whisky.. a bottle of it.. wow.. EZ is really rich yah.. buy a bottle of alcohol and his friends really benefit from it.. now I know how they become friends.. they mixed it with green tea and coke and treated us.. okay more alcohol for me.. I don't want to go dance.. I just sit at the sofa.. why leh? let you know later.. haha.. my friend who got high always cannot sit still at the sofa.. she will go to the small dance floor in front of the band to dance or to the toilet where she will throw out.. and my the other friend will accompany her.. she really can't drink yah.. and the kind indian friend will pass her green tea.. he was the kindest there lor.. he also tried to take care of me lah.. asking me now and then whether I am still okay.. I am not really drunk lah.. still know what is going on but a bit slow liao.. and cannot really walk or stand straight.. haha.. but still conscious.. not like my friend.. it may sounds a bit dangerous for us gals but our new found friends are quite good.. did not do anything to us.. but that EZ yah.. drunk liao.. then a bit touchy .. touch my friends' waists.. luckily only once.. and the indian guy also put his hand around my shoulder.. but nothing more than that.. lucky for us bah..

my drunk friend's bf came at about 3plus.. and we went home.. at that time, I am still conscious of what's going on but a bit blur lah.. reached home.. I fall asleep immediately after wash up.. haha.. and I woke up at 12 plus that afternoon.. still a bit sleepy but no hangover.. but my friends told me that they actually had headaches and feel nausea in the morning.. now I know how well I can drink and how bad they are in drinking.. but I still think it's not good to drink too much.. once a year on special events.. then can bah.. hee..

although I have not much problem from drinking, I did feel pain.. on my feet.. I worn the wrong heels.. it is so painful.. therefore, I can't stand long or dance.. I have to sit down .. hee.. when I reached home, then I know how badly it is.. how much pain I have bear with.. there were big blisters on my big and small toes on both feet.. haha..but now okay liao lah..
my plastered feet.. haha..

It's Hot!

Avril's latest single on the chart: Hot. One of my favourites on the album.. Nice song!

Hap Hap Happy New Year!

2008 is here! and this time round, I went out to countdown.. not with the countdown crowd.. but just with 2 gal friends and some newly met friends.. new year meet new friends.. but in the end.. forgot their names except one.. becos is "EZ" easy to remember.. haha.. had new experience and great fun.. no more coop up at home.. haha.. will talk about it when I got the photos.. haha..

this weekend is a fun weekend and alcoholic weekend.. drank a lot of alcohol.. at Prof's house on fri, at Ryan's house on Sun and at the pub "China One" yesterday.. haha.. okay once a year .. not a habit.. hee.. still feeling my heart beating fast now.. becos of the drinks? maybe.. actually I found that I am quite a good drinker.. no headaches and nausea.. haha.. but it's also not good to drink too much.. really bad for health bah..
