I hate to admit this but yesterday whilst typing this entry out I fell asleep with the laptop on my lap & when I got up this morn I was in the exact same position I'd been when I fell asleep which in other words meant that I hadn't moved an inch for 5 whole hours. I take my words back, I'm not such a fidgety person afterall.

Okay lol so yes, if you're here to poke your nose into how my long birthday weekend went, you've come knocking on the right door. For a start, it was nothing short of awesome.


Lugged Addie to Katong for this cafe place I had been dying to pop in cause the bright pink walls were so visually appealing. Unfortunately, in my 3 weeks of absence, the cafe was now nowhere in sight so we settled for some korean restaurant. My tummy was in a hungreh mad rumble. Beggars cannot be choosers.


It had been lunch time but we were the only patrons there & in my mind I was like oh dear golly this place must serve up some horrid food for a crowd this scarce. I was wrong though, & glad to be. Because I swear I'll be back there again soon. Anyways we were fascinated by the numerous little appetizer dishes they always serve the korean way. There were so many plates on the table at one time & I came to a conclusion that korean women do more dish washing than any other woman on earth. I'll go cook up some shocking statistic like the snapple fun facts.


After lunch I wished I still had more room for sorbet but no, no more accomodation for sorbet available. Distraught.


Anyways when you cohabit with a family of early birds, lunch comes early too. I can't remember exactly where we ate but we were only where we were for the Xiao Long Bao, which erpz wasn't fantastic.

My hunhun took me to CHIJMES for dinner & okay okay okay fine he was such a sensitive & considerate boyfriend alright. He had 3 of the 5 meats switched from beef to chicken/pork cause I absolutely abhor cows eww moo & he did all the cooking for me so schweet right. Oh yah we caught some lame ass horror movie which bore us to tears. Tell me about it, ironic much.

One of my birthday wishes this year was to head down to Nectarie cause of the very memorable virgin trip there with yans a year back? So I was pretty thankful I had the companionship of another special person again, this time round. I'd received my present from hun there & then & z.o.m.g feeeeel the heartache mmkay that silly boy got me a kate spade & a card with neat handwriting thank goodness! Srsly sank you so much b, you made me feel like royalty that night.

Haha I apologise, no photos of my boyfriend cause he thinks he's too ugly on lens. *shrugs.


Yans had been insisting she'd have to bring me something directly to my house & no place else. My curiosity was eating me up I swearrrrr so when she finally called at 1030am for me to open my door I was like alright this is the moment. AND LOL OH MY FRICK IDK IF I SHOULD CALL IT THE CUTEST SIGHT EVER OR THE SILLIEST BUT HAHAHAHAHAHAHA SHE WAS HOLDING A CAKE SHE BAKED(I KNOW WHAT U ALL ARE THINKING! LEAH MARYANNE LAM YANYEE IN THE KITCHEN HOW QUEER & TEN TIMES IMPOSSIBLE) & BESIDE HER WAS LITTLE NICHOLAS HOLDING A BALLOON ROFLMAO TOO BAD I DIDN'T CAPTURE THE SIGHT OF THEM BOTH SO NO FUN FOR ALL YOU READING THIS.

But like I told her, no harm done, no damage caused. Her cakes are safe for consumption, I stand here alive to testify. I luv you & appreciate your efforts yans & the remaining cake ain't going to waste I eat them for breakfast okay! I just had a slice this morn too. But I am very upset with the balloon cause by the time I got home that night it was deflated already why like that yans ):



Two other great girls I have to thank a million times over are Ange & Eve cause they accompanied me on a high tea session w/o complaints! Anyway I forgot to tell you girls this but I only just realised last night that the fruit fondue completely slipped our minds. My stomach must've ruled my mind, that's why I never took a second look before walking out the door. Sheesh.


You know how we were supposed to head down somewhere to meet the guys but Ange & Eve refused to divulge & they very stubbornly refused to tell me what was up their sleeves! So they whispered to communicate & I totally felt so lonely slash irritated cause they brought me in & out of the train in attempt to confuse me! & they kept speaking alien! PLUS they acted like maniacal tourists & forced me to pose for a photo with them beside the founders of hongleong -.-" I mean whudddddd.

But they EVENTUALLY led me to lau pa sat where Calv, Fab, Zy, Sw & Kai were all so comfortably seated @&(#(@&(*)@!. Haha, okay lah but I guess it was fun, that silly trail they led me on. Saddistic but still. Awwww I love you guys.


I stand here in genuine appreciation for the wonderful dinner, cake & presents. In all honesty, it's one of the best birthdays I've ever had & it'll stay with me for a long time coming.


Thanks to those who've wished me through msn/text/friendster & those who've gone the extra mile & played a part during my birthday weekend to make my day even more special. This birthday felt like missing out on sweet sixteen last year, cause of the o levels, was well worth it.

Life has been treating me good & I don't regret having to say this but, I guess my initial worries about how the new sem would turn out seems pretty redundant as of now. After all my little adjustments & minor fine tunings plus learning how to use a pen all over again, I'm officially geared up for skool now. Almost. & you all wouldn't believe this but I actually managed tutorial/lect reschedules & eliminated them nasty 5 hour breaks heeehee what more could I ask for?

Tuesday we went for a movie but in Shangwei's place were Kai & Calv zomg both of them have been MIA for 2 long months. Clever movie choice someone, *shifty eyes*. I promise you "Burn after reading" totally lulled me into deep slumber zZZZzzzZZ what a splendid way to dispose money. Not forgetting pins & needles in my feet after sitting cross legged through the 90 min film cause of the major roach scare all.



Anyway today I told Ange & Eve about how my boyfriend wants to become a pilot & they were giving me responses like "I told Isaac to become a pilot! Then I can become an air stewardess then we can fly together." & "Yah yah yah I also asked Shangwei to be a pilot! Good what!" but I'm like mehhhhhhhhhhh wo bu yao. ):

Tomorrow I'll be having my first ever encounter with French I hope it wouldnt seem too foreign & distant because I've heard enough horror stories about it just today & how spirit dampening can that get srsly. Oh yes & this weekend I'll be busy eating & getting phat like I've not already enough jiggly on me gooodddnesssss. I need chitosan pills, FAST!

Wee hours of the day are ever so mundane & is it just me or is the silence actually ringing? I'm too lethargic now to have any form of communication with another being but I'm actually enjoying the ironing i'm doing now just cause some housewife instinct swept over me. It'll blow over soon, I promise. But what's not to like about nice and crisp clothes mm?

Right now I have only two things in mind. One, whether I should turn off the darn ceiling fan that appears to be threatening to take a tumble down & decapitate me like any other gore movie & two, you. But the latter's consuming the bigger part. If only I knew exactly how to put the write messages across without distorting what I actually feel. I have poor brain heart coordination, that's for sure.

Anyways today I had a marvellous day with Jin & she could always turn any scenario she yaks about, into absolute entertainment. Perhaps it's the IJ girl exaggerative tone & it's in our blood, runs through our veins haha. We blew big moolahs today, or at least I did, but it was well spent. Good long term investments, I'd put it this way. But we did so much shopping from clothes to cameras, we clean forgotten about eagle eye. Nevermind, I don't suppose I have much fate with that movie then. Home-made popcorn, dark drawn curtains & DVD, what say you?

I was looking forward to the reopening of school, sem 1.2. But note the past tense, "was". After my booootiful timetable came crashing right down upon me this morn I decided I would wish for time to slow down this instant. Good thing, my weds & thurs 5 hour breaks are pretty much settled cause I've Evelyn & Sindy but still, 7pm dismissals & 3 hour comm skills? Absurd.

So I've 3 remaining days till dreary/gloomy/wretched (whatevz take your pick) Monday & out of which 2 will be spent working. So clever Jamie, sooooo clever. K, back to zee iron. Laters.

I used to be so driven into blogging every other day but that's just not the case these days. Everything apart from work has just been sluggish and languid. But it's a good flow to have for the last lap of the holidays, before the mad rush sets in once again. Projeckkks, ugh, I can't imagine.

Anyways Sunday was 4am bedtime for me & that was suicide because my internal alarm was perhaps to pooped to function when my phone alarm hung & failed to wake me up at 7.30am afterwards. That left Shawn waiting for an hour at my void deck & Clara sitting in at home till 11.16am when we were supposed to be at Bishan Park at 9am that very morn. Oh shitzo you know, I'm awfully sorry.

But I did make it to Thomson plaza for lunch with Clara, eventually.

On a different note, I've decided to wipe my savings out this Saturday when I shop for new sem clothes with Evelyn because I'm so sick of the same old. But I'm worried it'll be yet another futile attempt to shop because have I mentioned I'm getting so picky & stingy plus I start to panic when hope of good buys start to dwindle that I impulse buy just so I have a paper bag or something to hold on to plus everything is so repetitive in stores that I feel like I'm running about in circles! God bless that I'll return home with swanky clothes.

I have 4 dvds from the esplanade library to finish before skool reopens but these old films they're unbelievable! They drag on for hours & who the heck has intermissions halfway thru the movie! Insane only. Right, Imma go get started on a new movie now so c u.

How pleasing it is to have meet ups with long-time-no-sees every once in awhile to know that everyone is still getting on by. (Marcus & Evan I'd better see your faces the next time around, no more chances, or I punch you!)

Twas Jin's birfday today as well(she shares the same day as kally!) & Jiayi baked her sinful robot cupcakes & I'd gotten her Strawberry Champagne bubble bath+megawatt cutesy badges! Speaking of birfdays, I have to place a note here in bold that Xq's birfday is a day after mine so that I won't give her the same rxtn everytime I ask her when her birfday is, "ZOMG YOUR BIRTHDAY IS ONE DAY AFTER ME ONLY!". So silly only. Machiam spoilt player on repeat mode.

Anyway next Thurs Jiayi Jin & I are gonna scout for old school cameras I'm so hyped!!! + We're catching "Eagle eye" (finallyyyyyy). Still in search for braveheart to watch "Mirrors" with me. My friends are all cheeeeeekens.

Oh yes I screeched damn loudly earlier eww eww ewww ewwwwww I can't believe a beetle landed on my nose in the bathroom & I was already undressed! Sickening beetle couldnt have picked a better time.


LMAO.
She really was quite high up in the air but she claims it's cause I'm short but I swear it wasn't the case. I was the shortest there & then but I'm not short! I stand at 1.58/1.59 & that's taller than your Eva Longoria!

Last weekend I chalked up a pitiable 5 hours of sleep so now whoever said the weekends were for sleeping in? The consequences of sleep deficit is haunting me now. I've a very heavy head & an awfully sandy throat that's making me guzzle endless litres of water and then multiple trips to the toilet. It's times like these you'll wish your butt was still small enough for a potty, a nice pink potty that'll sit nicely at the corner of the bedroom to save you from all that trouble.

Run for hope was what took up most of my weekend but anyway right after the event ended, the ritz gang (haha at least that's what I heard someone say) went roller blading after weeks & weeks of procrastination & post-phoning. (Oh wait anyway sank you evelyn fabian zy & sw for helping out & I really hope next year you'll aid with the "sai gang" again k thnx <33333 ^_^) The blading outing left me with scraped elbows & knees but it was the most fun I'd had in a long while now & if every blading outing brings this much fun I wouldn't mind more scraped arms & legs in exchange. Oh yes the other day was the ultimate! They actually brought me into an arcade which was a first for me & um, recalling now, I think I was yelling quite alot at the machines, wasn't I? =/

This week's gonna be a blast I can feel it right down in my toes. Postive positive + + + + + + + . Tim call's em positive pills hhahahahahaha what a qt.

Working in a banquet is about the dumbest way of earning money but I'm really there because of a random few nice colleagues & the H11 gang. My toes are in a wretched state and my bunions are excruciatingly sore & my morale is down to it's all time low after being chided by everyone & anyone because waiters/waitresses are but lowly creatures with no feelings earning a miserable keep of $6.50/hour aye? Listen to my stories or our stories for that matter & your heart will ache & go out to us. Today some fucking bangla I think he was like some wash bowl wash plate man he actually raised his voice at me to keep my volume down oh fuck you I had a day of hell you didnt need to end my day nor top it off with your bullshit you could've been nicer. Wait till I graduate, I be your senior I will make you suffer a fate worse than hell. As I was saying, I'm beat & so totally drained but still my mind keeps running, running. I've got too much on my palate & I question if I've over estimated my abilities to control my own emotional state. Sometimes people lend you a shoulder to cry on but that's now how it should be. In a card game you don't go displaying your cards to your opponents & in this real life scenario it's no different. It'll be like removing that barbed wire securing what little you possess of your personal space & leaving it so vulnerable to external manipulation. It's arduous when I don't know where I should go next & I don't want anyone to help me because I don't wish to share & call me cynical but no one will really understand. Everything's just too pretentious. What I'm experiencing now is loss & no one will ever be able to understand another's loss because it's subjected to individuality.

Shit what has gotten into me I should get a personal diary soon maybe one with a voice lock? HAHA. K anyway that song's Olivia Ong no doubt but it's so Aslyn era-ish but I kinda like it idk why. Good night you all it's 3.40am now & I've to be up by 7am.

Hahaha the photos are insanely pixelated & our faces look pretty distorted but whatevv right, right. Anyway sivs & I brought yanz on a little picnick but I was so darn smart I didn't bring my camooora out so I bought a disposable one which I wasted the first like um, 5 exposures tryna figure that piece of junk out, after I conveniently threw the box which had the instructions on them away. By the way the food didn't go too well for the picnic because sivs & I kinda over bought (but it was solely because we've always reckoned yanz's tummy was a descendant of the "PEE-AI-GEE" a.k.a that not-so-pink-afterall fugly thing that rolls in mud & snorts), PLUS the cedele cake totally melted on us(!!!!!!!!!!) so we used it as spread on corn thins and our faces. ): ): ): Why do chocolate products always go melting away on me like the other time the champagne chocolate ange & I bought? No refridgerator could've saved em' dead chocolates.

But all in all I hope you had fun yanzayeee. It was nice getting together again, 3 of us, especially since our exams and holidays totally don't coincide much. Well, Happy bird day you big bird. Wait for me! I won't be 16 for long!
