ting:

boy am i looking forward to this. :)

dearest adel sweetheart,

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i originally didn't intend to make this a sobbing entry. but pei called me a sappy piece of shit and said i'd probably make you bawl which made me think: what's the point of trying so hard when all my birthday entries, no matter how cheerful and full of happy memories i make them out to be always leads to someone ending up in tears? so i've changed my goal! the aim of this entry is to make you CRY like you've never before!!!

haha ok you know i'm just joking don't you? i ain't that evil. :)

(here comes the part which would probably make you smile)

was reading pei's birthday entry to you and looking back on all the years we've been through, i'm more than glad to say all my memories of us have been happy. remember loverboy and all our various crushes? that was probably the highlight of jc life.. it gave us all an incentive to go to school. and those times we'd delibrately embarrass you in front of him (eg. pushing you out of the container classroom into his path, leaving you to fend for yourself when you were at the watercooler and upon seeing him approach, laughing like crazy when you swung open the door and allowing it to slam shut in your face because you realised loverboy was in the classroom....). the poor guy. but hey, you gave him an ego boost and you'd be rewarded in heaven for that! :D

remember how we went all the way out to get monkey for neela's birthday? how you befriended loverboy for just that reason? how we went all the way to...urm, where was it again? to get the pictures (and without its negative!) reprinted for neela?

though we moaned and groaned about ny, it was fun in it's own way, thanks to people like you. :) remember the "great wall of ny" we had to climb every morning? (i swear, other than melb uni, all my schools have been situated on a hill!) and then the scary overhead bridge none of us were happy to cross alone? and how close we live to ny... it didn't matter if pei's or neela's bus arrived first, we'd just smirk and say "oh well.. we'll still end up reaching home first.".

(this memory was spurred by pei's entry.. i totally forgot about it) and remember how we ended up being in two similar ccas? how we'd bunk red pill on such a regular basis that, when we finally did go for it, they'd just hand us the newcomer contact list again. they must have asked us for our details ten times. and remember how lazy we were and how often we had great debates as to whether to bunk drama or red pill? we usually ended up going for drama (and refusing to do much) but usually ended up skipping red pill. i remember how we'd walk by the classroom red pill has its meetings in and say, "look straight ahead, don't look in no matter what". but someone always ends up looking in, only to see the entire club staring back at us. and this leads to? our signature scream and us running away.

i remember those times we studied together, in coffee bean or cafe cartel. or those times i'd just pop by your place, because you live so close to me. and then working together in kumon and moaning and groaning everytime a terror kid comes in (what's that guy's name?? the one who went in on saturdays? the one who'd refuse to do his corrections and make me wanna strangle him?), then smiling and swooning over the sweet obedient kids who'd just make our day with their smiles and perfect work. i remember our excitment when we both got pgp and had rooms situated next to each other. that was cool wasn't it? nights over (sometimes) at each other's rooms, especially when pei and mel crashed over at our place, going down to the tv room together, watching singapore idol and shrieking when we saw scrubbie in the auditions (i can't believe he is your friend's brother!), watching all those reality tv shows together etc. and how you'd pop by my room with chocolate/ice cream everytime i smsed you saying i had a bad day. how we'd bitch about guys and horrible (china) group members. those were the days.

(and here's the part which would probably make you cry... if you even do)

that said, i just want to thank you for the awesome person that you are. for all the laughter and joy you've brought into my life. i know that if there is one person on this planet earth who wouldn't judge me, it would be you. i know spilling out my problems to you wouldn't be an issue because you would be all ears and you definitely would be on my side without even questioning the reasons behind why i do what i do. thank you so incredibly much for your support over this last week... i never would have survived thus far without you. they say it takes a true friend to stick with you through the good and the bad. by that definition, you are probably already way more than a true friend. thank you for putting up with me and all my nonsensical problems. things which would probably seem insignificant in comparison to what others are going through. thanks for listening, comforting, offering advice in the most hilarious way which makes me laugh even though i just wanna lie down and die.

thank you for making ny life bearable. for riding through the storms together. for the fact that, though we may not have spoken in ages or have any form of contact for months, our friendship is still alive. thank you for that dramatic flair you bring about with you, which just fills a room with energy and light the minute you enter. for doing crazy things with me (eg. studying at 2am during the exam period in nus, studying virtually with me online last year). for all the thoughtful details you put into the things you do. for making me smile. for allowing me to be worthy of being your friend.

so life has been relatively unfair to such a sweet person like you (as of late, at least). i hope that, as of this day onwards, everything would go its way for you. may the people we love come back to us. and babe, no matter how others might make you feel, you do not deserve anything less than the best. and when that time comes, may you be the centre of his universe. :)

happy birthday dearie. as this day draws to a close, may you put aside all that has happened and look forward to a happier life ahead. (oh.. and hope you got that huge present which will hopefully make up for everything) may you have a good one. i love you more than the whole universe put together.

ting:

i can't believe that i'm typing a medical essay at this hour. me. medical essay. wow, impressive huh? hahaha.

and am also trying to squeeze information out of the ever evasive zicong. oh my gosh.. this is like what? the first time i've seen him on msn this year! was idly scrolling through my msn contact list and i almost got a heart attack, seeing him online. wow. hahahah and with any luck, huili and i will get a wedding invite really soon. :) i have a nice dress to wear!!!

but the main purpose of this entry:

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY ADEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'll type a nicer, longer, sweeter, more touching, more emotional entry for you later. this is just the sneak preview. get those tissues out. :) thanks for rocking my world babes. i love you heaps and heaps and heaps!

Hui:

look at e time, look at e time! i'm blogging at this time! daring right? haha =P

have no idea why is time crawling slower than snail today.

Crocodile Story Episode #11111
Eny as Egg No Yolk
Jiehui as The Cow
Tom as Crocodile
Ervin as Soldier/New Comer

On the level 33 of Raffles City Tower...

Egg No Yolk called The Cow while The Cow was with Crocodile and gang.
ENY: where are u?
The Cow: office lor..
ENY: can come down awhile or not?
The Cow: huh y? cannot la.. i jus came back for lunch leh
ENY: im coming to city hall to pick something mah, tot can meet u chit-chat awhile.
The Cow: huh how long u need?
ENY: no need to go back so soon.. i can slack around
The Cow: wah lao.. KNS...
*background* Crocodile says: "omg that is so crude"
*The Cow hangs up with ENY*
New Comer: that is not crude wad. it's like when u say "fuck", it's crude also
Crocodile: i'll rather say "fuck" than to say something so uncivillised as "kns"

----------------------------------------------

OMG... KNS.. like that say me.. never die b4. though i mus admit that i am not as eloquent as IT la. but IT is like that..

think i shall end my post here. very difficult to type with ppl walking around. need to keep switching windows. =P stay tuned for e crocodile story! though not very interesting.. =P

Hui:

how can one excel in both work and studies? juggling something like that is definitely not my forte. i dun think it's jus entirely abt time management. i believe everyone (everyone = my close buds) noes im very "egoistic". i wan to prove others that i am capable. i wan to be outstanding.i wan to be (one of) the best. but i dun think i can do it.

in e context of knowledge, i have none.

in e context of capabilty, i'm not the best. i lack patience and confidence. and probably the kind of "out-spokeness". (paisehm english lousy)

in e context of attitude, maybe i am better than some ppl.. but still not up to expectation. probably becos i am like this, and depends on what i like to do.. i'm a very subjective person. probably that's why.

in the context of common sense, of cos i have lah. this one is confirm chop + guarantee seal.. =P

image wise ah.. i'm still a siao gina..

language skills is kns..

education level.. poly... with very average results somemore. dunno leh, i jus dun like to study. i like and am interested in a lot of stuffs. but i dun like to be questioned and tested into so much detail. aiya, dunno wad im toking abt also la.. my thoughts are always so random.

jialat.. how to work and study at the same time? though it has not been 100% confirmed yet but it seems like it is e onli way out. i'm never good in studying (after pri 4 and sec 1 - lost my shine after since).. onli good in doing super last min work and getting average results. i feel like sleeping after reading notes that are full of words after 30mins. i dont do tutorials.. onli when im forced to. jialat man.. need to ask ting/augus to lend me their brain power for once in awhile.

-------------------------------------

how funny it is that there are sooo many different kind of ppl around, and how "talented" some ppl are in pissing ppl off. (yes, u can anticipate another bitching session from me very soon. carry on reading.) "Tom" aka crocodile who thinks he is so great and knowledegable never fails to piss me off everyday. i am amazed by how i am able to list out soooo many different instances where he has successfully pissed off everyone. if u din get pissed by him, u're and him are probably one of a kind =P

i think i bitch abt him so much so that even augus is being affected by me.. though he din bitch, but he listened. haha.. we had an outing with paul, kong and jac yesterday. and somehow when all of us were bitching abt tom, augus jus blurted out "u go and impersonate tom la" and e others were like "huh? who is tom??" wooops. hahaha.. damn funny sia.. now they know who "Tom" is. atcually i have this problem also. there has been a lot of instances where i almost said the word "tom" instead of other set of nickname that paul and jac had given him.

hmmm.. if i don't get to enter another team, i will still have another 50 working days to go. i have made up my mind. if i dun get to go to another team, i'll jus go and find another job. no way am i going to stay in e crocodile team. atually.. i would say that 55 - 60% of me wants to leave, so that the crocodile Tom will BEG and call me to ask me abt those sharepoint stuffs. wahahaha.. kns.. feel so lucky that i noe a bit more than him. else sure kanna his scapegoat one.

-------------------------------------

jus now dinner eat too full already. still feel full now. ordered kfc delivery.. had one med whipped, 2 pc chicken, half zinger. then abt 2hours later had steamboat.. though it's onli some soup + vege + hotdog + toufu.

ehh.. monday tml again.. will have many many crocodile stories to tell liao.. and how im going to get burnt by those invoicing stuffs again. 50 working days! and counting down.....

ting:

these are jovan's five iron clad rules, when eating is concerned.

1. to never be hungry.
2. to never be hungry when [he] is sleeping.
3. free food is good food.
4. finger food, sandwiches, light refreshments, any food that is low in fat or fat free is not good food.
5. and when eating meat is concerned (as to the type of meat), eat first, ask later.

hahahahha. it has been awhile. catching up is good. :)

went to carlton gardens for a picnic after church and we ended up playing volleyball! it's been ages since i did sports... felt really happy after that, nevermind the fact my right forearm is totally bruised now, thanks to enoch's outdoor and immensely hard volleyball (it hurts ten times more than the normal one). we should play more often. just that the next time, i'll make sure he brings the softer one.

Hui:

am in e office blogging again. but hey, i have completed my to-dos before typing here =P

im jealousssssss. y does ting always have such good pics? haiz.. mus be where i am lah.. sg where got such nice landscapes? now i dun dare to upload my pics liao.

i have to control my temper. think that i get pissed easily. or perhaps is the people who never die b4 come and step on my tail (but then again, according to eny, my invisible tail is super long. ah oh well...) but anyhow, i guess i need to go "fan xin" and re-evaluate myself. i bitch abt people everyday, and at least 3 times day and night. (i also dunno how come there's so much i can bitch abt.) shit la, dun have good karma liao. in addition to that, poor augus has to attend my bitching session too.

went to the jap restaurant called Hanabi at the Odeon Towers yesterday night for dinner. not becos i am rich or i want to, i was there becos i had to attend this gathering between my team and the client's team. it was a night of fake laughter (ok lah, maybe it applies to me only). and omg, all they talk abt is food, and the activities that will be taking place till end of the year. for me, i'll jus observe, eat, listen and smile. to be fair, i mus say that there are a few nice genuine ppl around still..

paul will be leaving very soon. less one person to bitch with liao. sad sad. oops, did i say i wan to reduce/quit bitching?

it's going to be friday again!! great, weekend's here again!

ting:

everyone, especially jovan and toh sin, has been bugging me to cook for them as of late. folks... it's ME. i DON'T/CAN'T cook! you'd probably end up with food poisoning or something!

i'm highly amused with what wei kee and i did today. the briefest memory of it would just crack me up totally. hahahahahahha but oh well, two brains are better than one, no? :) all's good.

and i know this is a little bit late, considering these photos were taken more than a month back. but i only just got my hands on all of them so here goes!! enjoy! :)

**credits to khai and his professional camera, as all of these pictures were taken by him (because after viewing photos of such calibre, i couldn't bear to even look at what us amatuers took)**

where it all begins

the beach (can't remember its name) where we stopped for breakfast

still the same beach, just that now we were down at the rocks

the view of the entire beach

the whole group of us at teddy's lookout

this photo drove me nuts when i first saw it. again, credits to khai for such superb photography skills.

he even managed to make the tiny waterfall look so damn good!

two of the remaining 8 (i think) apostles. he's the only photographer i know who actually managed to do justice to the view!

in case you are wondering, the incredibly talented photographer is the guy directly in front of me. don't know which is me? too bad then. :)

an informal shot of all of us in the quaint little cottage we spent the night in. khai is the guy at the other end of the sofa, on the right. :)

i've no idea where this is. the problem with only getting the pictures one plus months later. but enjoy. :)

loch arch gorge (i think).

us all

poser shot?

in front of some scary looking caves

tim had to go spoil everything. -_-

don't quite know if you can make out what this is, but it's a huge wave crashing up on the rocks.

love birds

kangaroo and its joey

the view from one of the lookouts we had to pant and sweat to get to.

the folks travelling in the other car

me and my fellow travel companions in our luxurious toyota camry (did i mention we got a free upgrade from a corolla to a camry?)

khai is officially my idol now. :)

ting:

did i ever say i love econs?? especially macro??

what was i thinking? i must have been freaking out of my mind.

*weeps buckets of tears*

my macro assignment is this: write exam questions in the form of either 5 mcqs, 1 short answer question or 1 essay, alongside with suggested solutions.

my partner and i are doing the mcqs. i'm stuck at the third mcq i'm writing. i can't think of anymore! and all my questions are so textbook based... "which one of the following is false?" "which of the following is true?". ugh! it sounds so amateur i just want to cringe and start over, if only i knew how.

presentation is on friday. sigh. what if even i don't know the answers to my own questions (i won't be surprised, seeing it happens all the time)?

on a sidenote, adel is now my idol. i aspire to be like her. :) you go girl! i'm so so so proud of you.

Hui:

new skin! look cool! haha.. been wanting to change the skin ever since ting came back last year.. we were discussing abt the skin during CNY. and now, yeah! finally got it over and done with. maybe cos i have e mood to steal ppl's code also. fyi i stole the code and pic from someone and modified both. =P

augus is in my room now.. doing his work. but we're both hungry. going to eat soon le. also, chatting with ting now. wahhaa

gah.. remembered that i promised some pics. hang on.. too lazy to go sort and publish lah.. im a lazy ass.

hungry hungry, augus asking me to go eat liao. bye!

ting:

we are all just prisoners here, of our own device.

i don't want to hold myself hostage anymore.

the beauty of life is that when something or someone gets you down, a balance will be striked by something or someone else getting you up. :)

ting:

i think life is funny in the sense that you don't realise how much you miss certain people until you talk about them/talk to them.

i asked hui to fill me in on the lives of the people back home the other night and we started talking about ber. gosh, i miss him so much! miss those times when he was just a missed call away. i guess he is probably the only guy i can open up 100% to. and i haven't spoken to him ever since i left singapore (seeing talking to him via msn is an impossibility... he never replies. hui told me he replied to her message only 6 hours later. what!?)!!! guess i should make an effort to bug him more when i get back at the end of this year.

and i saw adel online just now. it was one of those rare occasions, because we sort of always miss each other (time difference maybe?). she had to rush off somewhere, but those 10 minutes or so of conversation was uplifting, in some sort of sense. she promised to email me (adel!! if you are reading this and you still haven't... you BETTER!). well, she had so better keep her promise, because that's the only thing in life i'm anticipating at the moment. heh.

msn is good stuff. :)

Hui:

was testing the blogging function in my phone when i was at work. chose a photo of lili and tested that out. and oh wow. it really can blog man.. but jialat, using GPRS.. sure expensive.. but one damn thing abt the pic is that my camera phone is too lousy liao lah. no flash.. so dark.. fyi i have switched to K610i. cos the warranty of my dear k750i is ending and it kept giving me problems some time ago. so to play sage i jus change phone lor..

chatting with ting now.

whee it's friday tml!!

going to sleeeeep soon le.

ting:

damn assignments.

because i was feeling down the entire night, this song was on constant replay. first heard it during evangelism-night and wow. the lyrics blew me away.

Casting Crowns - Stained Glass Masquerade

Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin’ so small

Cause when I take a look around
Everybody seems so strong
I know they’ll soon discover
That I don’t belong

So I tuck it all away, like everything’s okay
If I make them all believe it, maybe I’ll believe it too
So with a painted grin, I play the part again
So everyone will see me the way that I see them

*Chorus*
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation’s open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade

Is there anyone who’s been there
Are there any hands to raise
Am I the only one who’s traded
In the altar for a stage

The performance is convincing
And we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching
Can we really fall apart

But would it set me free
If I dared to let you see
The truth behind the person
That you imagine me to be

Would your arms be open
Or would you walk away
Would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay

Chorus x2

Well if the invitation’s open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade

Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin’ so small

i really really hope i'm just down because of the never-ending assignments. and nothing else.

thanks kester and tim. :)

ting:

i know this probably can be counted as being overly excited over something relatively insignificant but........

i found TWO people with the exact same music taste as i have in the span of three days!

i was in leroy's place on saturday, flipping through his CD collection when i realised that we have the exact same music taste! it's like... every single CD he owns, i listen to. gosh this is way too freaky.

and tonight, in the midst of doing my assignment and chatting with martin who has his "what i'm listening to" turned on, i couldn't help noticing that most of the songs he listens to falls under the catergory of music i like. so naturally, i had to ask him about it and now, we're exchanging music talk.

oh my gosh oh my gosh. i never thought i'd find people like them around!

ok excitment over. i should get back to work (and more discussion of the eagles. :) ).

ting:

this might seem totally random, but the experiences (and problems?) of two of my good friends spurred this entry.

i just want to say a huge thank you to all my fantastic friends. those who have established genuine friendships with me (and not just for the sake of academic relationships or any other superficial reasons). those who have been there for me whenever i needed them. those who listen and care enough to take time off just so they could provide me with more comfort. those who bother to listen to the things i say and leave unsaid. those who don't probe when i don't wish to open up.

thank you so much for all the quality (rather than quantity) time. i'd rather have a handful of quality friends whom i know i can rely on, than to have a million quantity friends who flee at the first sight of trouble.

i only hope i am as good a friend as i want to be.

i love you all. more than you'd ever know.

Hui:

jus realised i have an incident to blog abt. some ppl are jus dumb.

a perm staff came to my level to look for the person who is in-charge of the mails. and i think he's kinda rude. cos he jus came to me and said "christine? where is she?" i was like wtf, as if i noe. so i jus said "is she in e mailroom?" and he went there to look for her. freak. never go to e mailroom and check first. and then he came back to me saying that she is not there, and asked me where is she, or is there anyone that he can look for. i said dunno, cos all e ppl in e dept are not around. and he asked is there any number he can call. i said i dunno.

next, he went around asking ppl from other dept where is the person. smart man. guess wad? he called e mailroom (where he can see from e place he's making the call). obviously no one is in the mailroom la, still call for wad. and can hear e phone ringing somemore. and he called twice. and he kept walking around the office. -_- siao one

raa.. nvm abt me. jus wan to and complain.

Hui:

to ting's million dollar question, i'll choose to fall and jus end everything. i guess it's not as painful as if i were to crash into something?

am in the office. bored. waiting for mei. bloody hell she is still in the office!! i called her at like 545pm when she told me she was abt to leave.

it has been a fun + hectic and short working week for me. maybe cos of the national day holiday. but most importantly, my manager is on leave for the whole week. wahahha.. so i actually came in at like 920am. i chiong my work and i finished my work at abt 530pm. (but still have to wait for mei. haiz..)

went to catch the fireworks at lavendar area on national day. wtf, it sux. total disappointment man. and i din take any good pics. shall post some of the "better" pics of the place (not fireworks, camera too lousy). oh ya, and i think i promised some pics from zoo in my previous entry.

feel like eating kfc. but i have slight sore throat.. and ulcer in my mouth. will most probably be meeting mei at suntec, but i jus went to eat e duck rice at suntec the other day. so sian.. dunno wad to eat.

feeling sleepy... let me go into the wellness room for a short massage session. got massage chair inside. wahaha..

ting:

here's the million dollar question. imagine yourself to be skiing on a relatively steep slope. you know you are gaining momentum too fast and it's a matter of time before you crash. would you choose to delibrately fall so you can end everything there and then, or would you choose to prolong the inevitable, hoping against hope you'd somehow regain your balance along the way and screech to a stop, yet knowing the whole time you are destined for disaster?

i present to you another scenario. i have this huge (gigantic actually) blister above my ankle, courtesy of my ski boot. (will post up pictures of it after i get my card reader back. thanks to jeysern's morbid fascination, i now have photos of it from all angles.) everyone (or namely toh sin) has been telling me i should burst it, so it'd heal faster. and then there are others (like enoch) who tell me i should leave it alone and let it heal naturally. which course of action do i choose? to endure the sudden burst of pain and put an end to it once and for all, or to push it to the back of my mind, knowing it's there and that it's bothering me, but also that if i try hard enough, i just might forget its existence?

suggestions anyone?

and i've never agreed so much with adel's post.

ting:

dearest pei,

i know this is a little belated, but i wasn't in melbourne during the day itself. still, better late than never right?

HAPPY BELATED 21ST BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's a funny thing. i have so much to say it's threatening to spill over the brim, yet i can't seem to find a start.

i'd just like to start off with a simple thank you. for the wonderful person that you are. for bringing so much joy and laughter into my life. for your wit and sarcasm. for your unconditional love and support. you can take any negative situation i present you and help me see the bright side of things. everytime i screw up, you'd be there to elevate my guilt and misery and make it seem as though it isn't my fault (though sometimes, we both know it is). thank you for putting a smile on my face when i least expect it. for all the times we webcammed (when living on limited internet wasn't a problem), wrote poems over msn and tried to make things rhyme (try writing happier poems next time yeah?). for making idle talk and yet, having so much fun in the process. for feeling for me more than i feel for myself. and thank you so incredibly much for your support the other night. your presence online just made things so much better. also, thank you for introducing me to the eagles' "hell freezes over". that is the best beyond best album ever (i'm listening to it as we speak).

most of all, thank you for walking into my life. for our times in jc together. for our times in drama together. for all those chalet and hotel gatherings. for the late talks into the night. for all those girl-talk and bitching sessions we enjoyed.(are we gonna have another chalet get-together this year end?) for the belated surprise birthday celebration you and adel sprung on me last year. for all our shopping-and-stoning sessions in town. for plain, good sound advice.

you've been such an awesome friend to me, and also someone i really respect and admire. i think that when you did your stock take on life, you should have been feeling really proud of what you have achieved because as a person, i think you are a great success. :)

(i'm not making you cry this time, am i? hahahahah.)

i know that special day is over. i don't know how it went, but i hope it was a brilliant day for you. here's wishing you all the best life has to offer, because you, my dear girl, deserves nothing less than the best. have a great year ahead, may life be smooth-sailing as of now and may the things you yearn for land right at your doorstep. :) and because i know how hard decision-making can be, may you find peace in whatever fork in life you choose to take.

happy birthday dearie. i love you so so so so so much.

Hui:

met up with jess, jol and qian on friday. headed for breeks at marina square. omg, the food sucks man.. none of e food that e 4 of us ordered were nice. it was either of average taste/standard or not nice at all. jol had somehting roasted chicken (can't remember e name), qian had pasta, jess ordered a smoked grilled fish.. something like that la.. and i had chicken stew with baked rice. OMG all cannot make it. i was so turned off i onli managaed to force myself eat half of e plate. the assistant manager came to clear e table and saw that i onli ate half. so she asked if it's the food not nice or too creamy.. y is there still so much left. i din noe she was the asst manager. so i jus commented that it wasn't very nice, not that it was too creamy or anything. and she asked if i wanna change to other food.. thanked her for that and said no.. cos was damn full liao. anyway i think all other food taste the same too. we paid, and left. jus was we were walking out, the waitress returned me my money for the chicken stew with baked rice. service is good la. but oh well, i'm not gonna eat there ever again.

met augus back in amk where i passed him the cuff shirt that i bought him from G2000. it was on sale. and we have been looking for that colour and size for a very long time liao. glad that he likes it =)

it was such a tiring day yesterday. woke up much much earlier than i would on a saturday. reason being we (augus, lili and i) are going to the zoo! wah, haven been to e zoo for a long time. took lots of pics (of the animals). haha.. when my batt went dead, i played around with augus' SLR. damn shiok when u hear e shutter sound. it jus makes u feel like snapping more. somemore can zoom 200m far =O total number of photos amounted to about 2.7gb.. power right.. will have a hard time sorting the photos man.. will post some pics that the job is done.

damn leh. we spend too much time at the zoo and eating. were all too tired and took a rest. in e end cannot make it for the fireworks thing at marina. it's the singapore fireworks festival where there'll be fireworks every weekend (from 5th august to mid august). ahh nvm.. will make sure i go next week. wan to take more pics! and esp to try out the "fireworks" mode on my camera.

sian. sunday. tml go back to work again. but heng, onli 4-day week cos of national day. think i gotta go to Rob Ctr to cover jac's duties on e 10th. this will make my working week seems even shorter. counting down to the days i'm left with my company! and then gotta look for sch and $$ liao. and a part-time job also. zzz... shall take one step at a time bah.. sigh..

ting:

this is not good for my heart.

14th august: managing projects and events homework assignment 1 due.
15th august: competition and strategy assignment 1 due.
17th august: organisational behaviour assignment 1 due.

i nearly choked to death on my honey lemon. i think i just got sicker.

please remember we are only in our second week of uni here (nevermind the fact it's drawing to an end).

been drinking a lot of honey lemon lately. my throat hurts. and i've a persistant, annoying beyond annoying cough. i don't know which started first, but together, they are making each other worse. sigh.

wish i didn't have to go for the ski trip tomorrow. i would dearly love to sleep my weekend away.

in other news, my dateline was up long ago and i'm back to being 100% normal. to all who were concerned and asked about my wellbeing, thanks heaps. i love you all. :)
