dedicated to my beloved elder sis

sis. mum told me you called her. we'll chat more on skype ok? dont be upset by things there. just like you miss us. we miss you too. i missed having you to chat with me sometimes while we both are lying in bed. talking about anything that just comes to our mind. then end off with a 'good night'. i always sleep very well after that. really miss having you around to complain about things that displeases you. and i miss having you around to let me complain about things too. miss having you around to shout across our room and the living room when we team up in gunbound. miss having you around to shop with me. miss having you around to teach me things whether it's with regards to life or what. miss having you around to reassure me that things are as bad i usually see them as. miss having you around to talk to me about every single thing that happens. miss having you around to tell me your tuition experience with that talkative smart boy. missed having your loud alarm ringing early in the morning on certain days that wakes me up sometimes but you can still continue sleeping. miss hearing your voice. miss going with you to the macs nearby to just satisfy our craving for mcflurry. miss having you to ask me if i want desserts in the evening. miss having you around just for any reason. i've always looked up to you. i wanted to be as capable as you are. or even better. i think you are able to survive the few months off in atlanta. you will be. in my opinion you can. no matter how tough it can be to handle relationships with the people. no matter how extensive the literature of those readings can be. no matter how tough going the whole exchange programme can be. no matter how difficult it is to live in a place which you are unfamiliar of alone. no matter how it makes you feel upset that you arent around. no matter how things can be bothering you. please hang on. i know you can survive this. no matter what i am here to support you in whatever you do. all the best. sis. just as much as you miss us. we miss you too. but you'll be back with us again in june. i believe time will pass and i really cant wait for the day you come back. your pooh is waiting for you and so am i. i am waiting for the parcel you sent. i can only say. whatever it is. i will love it. i have always liked what you get for me. this time will be no exception. i know you are waiting for what i sent too. it might just be those stuff that you need. plus something small from me. i do hope that's some small thing that can bring you joy. i really dont mind sending more if it can bring you the joy that can never be bought. i'll just work harder save more and spend on postage. :) i'll just end off. do take care and we'll talk on skype whenever we get the chance to. i'll wake up earlier. love you lots.

postman zhien

went to singpost today. mailed out those new year cards for mum and myself. madness. spent $3.45 on the postage just for those cards. sent out in total 20 new year cards. woah. even settled the parcel to send to my sis in atlanta. spent me slightly more than 50 bucks to send it off to the states by airmail. i was told i can opt for sea mail which will take weeks to send the package over. in the end, to get it done within 2 weeks. i paid 50 bucks just for that box of stuff. hmmm. looks like my wallet is really getting tighter and tighter. have to scrimp and save a little before i get my pay next week.

slacked off today after that. supposed to give tuition lessons to one student but had cancelled it the day before cos she had something on. now my thursdays are going to be packed with tuition also. argh. played sims 2 cos the connection and scv was under some maintanance as mentioned in some mail from starhub so i couldnt online and simply played computer games to pass time. sigh. i am wasting my time. i am just simply bored.

tmr morning gonna make myself wake up and go jogging with peishan!

success vs failure

- success -

today went shopping with peishan at jp in the afternoon just before tuition. went to get my new year clothes. sry peishan to make you shop with me. you already got your new year clothes and still came with me cos i asked you too. thanks lots. really really appreciate that. i hope you arent too tired for work today. anyway. i managed to finish shopping for new year clothes. walked around jp today and tried on many clothes. first was op. saw this really sweet skirt at 36 bucks. haha. nice. but decide to give it a miss. put it into consideration first. well it was kind of hard to match it with the tops that i have anyway. will buy it next time maybe if i got more clothes to go with it. next went bossini and tried on a black 3-quarter pants. 42 bucks. eeks. haha. didnt buy it of course. we were still looking around. even went hang ten. john little. espirit. almost any other shop that can be found in jp. haha. in the end. i settled the shopping for clothes with a pair of jeans from bum equipment. a skirt from double index. a pair of flip-flops from bata. haha. spent so much in one day. to be exact a few hours of shopping. haha. well. most prob i wont be shopping that often for the next few months. i dont think i really got the time to after new year anyway. i gonna be a work machine. after that. we went looking around. got a big soft toy from cards n such for my elder sis for v-day. it's gonna sit quietly under my table until my sis gets back from atlanta. i've got it nicely wrapped so it wouldnt get dirty months later. then went to long john's for lunch. slightly fattening to take fast food. but well. the food court at jp is horrid. so i cant be bothered to wait for seats. but end up seeing lots of lian and beng people from secondary school's nearby. sigh. well. public place. i cant do anything about it. even went walking around a little after that. went to ntuc to get some stuff and then popular. even went to anderson's and we both shared an ice-cream. haha. we wanted to satisfy our craving yet dont want to eat up so much calories. well. girls do that quite often i guess. haha. in the end, we shopped for slightly less than 4 hours. headed back home to get ready for tuition while peishan went off to work. thanks lots for keeping me company. really really nice to shop with you. haha. next time when are financially more abled. we can go look look see see again. i shall try to shop less. so that i can save up. :)

- failure -

sigh. i was a failure today. ran again. cos i am trying to make it a habit to exercise a little each week. tuesday evening gonna be one day that i'll try keep up with. arranged with peishan to go jogging on thursday morning. haha. gonna try keep that as a constant thing. haha. i think i need to be fitter. anyway. today was a failure. why. maybe cos i was having flu and i insisted on going on with it. been having a blocked nose for the past few days and it just seem to bug me still. being asthmatic. well. i ran 3.25 rounds continuously and then stopped to walk. tried to continue but i just couldnt. felt a little uncomfortable and was trying to get my breathing properly back in place. stupid la. really very very unfit. i walked the rest of the 1.75 rounds. and after that stopped. sigh. ying went with me and she did 6 rounds continuously and then cooled down by walking 1 round. sigh. the huge difference. haha. i really need to make myself fitter. really not not not fit. hopefully thursday morning's jog will be better. hopefully can do more rounds. whether it's slow or not. ming1 tian1 hui4 geng4 hao3.

freaky sunday

another bad day at work. whatever. i am getting clumsier and blurrer each day.

the string of bad things started happening with me spilling strawberry drink on my shoe. crap. now it has a pink patch right on the right leg and it looks horrid since i have a grey track shoes. damn. now i've got to wash it and hope that the weather dont play a horrible trick on me. i need to dry them so that i can wear them out if i want to. argh. this is sickening. curses. i need to go and think of a way to change my luck i think.

next was. i was refilling this sugar power. and the next thing was. i spilled them on myself again. whatever. this is getting really bad. i wonder how people can do that la. i am making a mess of my workplace. and a total fool out of myself. well. swept that off quite easily. i reacted a little faster or else i would have got everything on the floor. and i can imagine what happens to my pay if that happens.

after that. last one. phew. seems little but 3 horrid things happening at work is enough to make your day feel bad enough. i was supposed to coat the "thing" with chocolate powder. i threw it down and *puff* the powder flew up as though i was dusting some thousand year old furniture. my apron, shirt and a little of my face had powder on it! gosh. crappy day. what can be worse. this week. for the 2 days i worked. i have been having bad encounters.

really. i wonder why. is my luck getting really that bad. or am i getting fatter so i am clumsier. or i am simply just distracted for whatever reason that i dont even know of. argh. sigh. next week might be better. looks like i gonna hate it when thursday comes. cos friday, saturday and sunday is when i have to go work again and then well. things happen. wish me luck. i guess i need lots of it. whether which 3 of those reasons that's coursing this series of freaky accidents. sigh. what a day.

black friday

from white to black. from heaven to hell. haha. coincidentally i am wearing black tee today. argh. this is bad. haha. but today is black cos i was super unlucky at work.

first thing was i had to work on a public holiday. groans. no doubt the pay is a super big incentive. but the incentive also means more work as there's more people shopping. plus. i gave my class gathering a miss. cos i had to work. haha.

i went there super early. wonder why even the bus seems to be hinting me something. the bus journey didnt take long. i reached there way before the time i expected myself to reach. wanted to pass a card to my friend, whom i thought would be working today. in the end, i reached so early and yet. i didnt see her there. most probably she's not working today. unlike me. in the end i had to spend time rotting near the shop waiting for time to pass so that i can punch my card in and start work. argh. bad miscalculation of time.

at work. introduced many new things to me today. lots lots. haha. new promotion. new item. started off a little blur.

many people shopping today. so was very very busy. didnt really have much time to drink water. and my throat is dying of thirst. standing at the cashier and not getting to drink is hell. in the end, finally got a chance to quench my thirst. was trying to get a small plastic cup to get myself a drink. the next thing was i lifted my hand. whacked the container that was below the drinks dispenser to contain those drinks that drip off. splashed. i washed myself with lemonade. interesting. very very interesting. argh. unlucky. hey it isnt friday the 13th. why do this to me? crap. well. i had to clean up the cupboard cos the drink also splashed on it. mop the floor. clean up the mess. before i can get a drink. argh. tough luck.

after all the hustle and bustle. was so tired. haha. i almost can doze off standing at the counter. and i actually forgot to give change back to one customer. she was like. you didnt give me the $3 change. i was like. *tink* oh ya! oops. sry sry. sigh. what's this la. those who really dont know me will think that i am an idiot who really dont have an idea how to count and have to end up working part-time at those low-paid place. argh. what else can i say. i had an unlucky day.

now i am tired. dead tired. my classmates arent online yet. so most prob they have just ended the gathering and are on their way home.

sigh. from a typical normal smooth-going thursday to a crappy unlucky friday. what can be the worse change?!?!?

white thursday

white. dont know why i pick white. haha. just for fun. maybe cos i wearing a white tee today.

nothing much for thursday usually. no one is free to keep me occupied anyway. as usual. i woke up. came online. got in 2 blog entries before this one for today. watched a bit of tv. of course the usual bath. and then tutor.

today i dared not be harsh on him for tuition. i am an angel mah. haha. i'm sure. that's rubbish. well. he was unwell today. haha. so wasnt really concentrating when i was teaching. i almost wanted to give up teaching him after an hour. although today was to teach him maths. my fav subject. he's smart no doubt. but he really looks bad when he is unwell. took him years to think of a simple sum. in the end i gave up. switched to english and end up reading to him. sigh. felt like it was a wasted lesson. i might as well leave after that one hour and make it up to him when he's in the right state of mind to answer my questions. argh. hate it when things arent really done. it's a waste of money on his parent's part. and a waste of time on my part. well. hope things are fine next lesson. he has to get well.

after that slacked a while at home. then went to library at jurong point. borrowed 4 books. city girl. some non-fiction book. something i thought might be interesting to read. i seriously hope so. i am not really a reader. something really really boring can make me sleep. asian exports. a book i hope can help me make my scholarship essay sound better. will go read it so that i can give more insightful things. that might just increase my chances of getting that scholarship. studying law at university. hopefully can give me a better idea what's in store for me if i were to really take up law in uni. maybe it might just deter me from it. was flipping through some other books in the library that's related to law. kind of scary. dont really know if i am prepared for many many literature for my uni life. maybe this might be a good preparatory book. i hope. as level law. other book related to law. but more general compared to the previous one. more difficult to understand i think. maybe it might be of help. i really dont know. well. i fulfilled my promise. i am going to have things to read for the next few weeks. they are only due on the eleventh of the next month. three weeks.

after that went to take a look at tee seng's work place. haha. cos i was super bored. since it's just near that area i just went. haha. psc. warehouse sale. sounds really funny. weird place. i wonder what prompt me to go there. maybe cos was chatting with tee seng the day before on msn. just simply curious to know what that place is like. what that fascinates me isnt that place. it's the cadbury factory that was just beside it. too bad i went there kind of late. the factory isnt open. according to tee seng, he can smell the cocoa smell everyday. haha. interesting. mmmmmm. chocolates. haha. anyway. the place where he's working at. sells lots of things at really affordable prices. 24 cans of drinks at $8.90. rice at $4+ for 1 kg i think. many other household things. good for the coming new year season. haha. affordable treats. and can change some other things that you dont want in the house. lucky i went at 7 plus. haha. that place isnt air-conditioned. so in the afternoon it's really hot. but well. looks like an interesting place to work at maybe. can gain some exceptional experience. :) in the end got a lift home from tee seng's father. haha. lucky me.

now that i am back at home. it's tv time and slacking time. and reading time. haha. gonna do something that hopefully stimulates my brain for once. hope. :)

colour

you are khaki #F0E68C

Your dominant hues are red and green, so you're definately not afraid to get in and stir things up. You have no time for most people's concerns, you'd rather analyze with your head than be held back by some random "gut feeling". Your saturation level is lower than average - You don't stress out over things and don't understand people who do. Finishing projects may sometimes be a challenge, but you schedule time as you see fit and the important things all happen in the end, even if not everyone sees your grand master plan. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.

thoughts

talking to my sis. made me had many thoughts flashing across my mind. indeed. life is short. today i am 18. in a few months time i would be 19. and in simply some more years. i would be out working in this world. facing the harsh realities of life. gradually getting older. simply waiting for the day i die. indeed. i told her. we all are born to die.

4 chinese words that my teacher used to say in primary school has always been kept deep in my mind. i remember them. 4 words simply to summarise a person's life. sheng1 lao3 bing4 si3. sheng is to be born, to live. lao to grow old. bing to fall ill. si to die. during the explanation of the 4 words. i remember my teacher saying that not everyone will get to grow old, fall sick. but everyone will be born and ultimately die.

i dont know when i will die. no one knows i guess. like my dad. he just left us out of the blue. no sign to tell us that we are going to lose him at that time. no one knew. we didnt know. i was still playing my role of a princess. well-loved. allowed to do what i was like. i remember that night i was watching tv in my living room. everything was normal. just normal. who would know? no one. now that there's news of my mum's friend passing away. another sudden death. news. dont you just hate them. sometimes i wish i was born to be an idiot. ignorance is bliss. life has trained me to really think that indeed some things are better left unknown. hard to come to terms with the news that came. we met up with that friend some time back last year. she looked perfectly healthy. who would expect months later. she would be gone? no one.

just like the same. i might just be gone one day. no one will know which day that can be. unless i fall ill. i rather die suddenly. i dont want to die after experiencing a long period of torture. come to think of it. we all will die. what is there to really care? i dont care. i know i will die. someday. i will. someday. just that that day is a mystery to me. i dont know. but i just know. living in this world. where nothing is predictable. nothing is exactly fair. i just learn to live. the way i want it to be. the way i would feel happy with. the way i would be able to look back and tell myself. hey i did something right. the way i would love it to be. the way everyone i love would share my joy with. nothing will change in this big world cos of someone. someone's departure might be the arrival of someone else. to cry or to joy. the irony of life. what can i say? nothing. just learn to accept and live.

sounds really idiotic to say so much. when ultimately i say. nothing. nothing. well. at least i got it off my chest. i am happier now. for me it's better. that's all. nothing else. simply nothing.

redness

redness. red in the face. haha. not blushing cos i saw some really cute guy ok. haha. i went jogging. woah. what an achievement. haha. for once in weeks. i actually went jogging. for once. i shed some fats off instead of gaining them. haha. sounds really gross. haha. but well. i jogged. so now i am like so red in the face. haha. but good. pink in health that is. happy. jogged for 3 rounds non-stop. sounds very unfit. but i guess it's a good start since i havent jogged for weeks. haha. i am just making myself feel good. haha. then walked for half a round. ran 1 round. walked another half a round. and then ran 1 round. after that cooled down by walking another 1 and a half rounds. cycled for half a round. that cycling bit was a little off. but just took over my sis who was cycling. hehe. well. not bad. i exercised. 8 rounds in total. not bad to spend half an hour off. instead of gaining weight in that period of half an hour. i made an effort to lose a bit. hopefully it works. must really try and try and make out a schedule and follow it. hard for me. haha. i hate exercising by jogging. haha. sis, i will try. try to keep fit. haha. dont stress me anymore. haha. i feel accomplished for now. so someone dont be a wet blanket and make me feel i am lousy for running so little. haha. i tried ok. haha. :)

Your Dominant Intelligence is Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

You are great at finding patterns and relationships between things. Always curious about how things work, you love to set up experiments. You need for the world to make sense - and are good at making sense of it. You have a head for numbers and math ... and you can solve almost any logic puzzle. You would make a great scientist, engineer, computer programmer, researcher, accountant, or mathematician.

What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

looks like i am not cut out for law. haha. maybe maybe. we shall see.

cleaning

today. monday. started off the week by cleaning up my house for new year. mum got don to help. gosh. if not for him. i would be dead cleaning up the place. madness. for once i realised that there's so much to clean up in my place. so many notes that i just cant bear to clean away until i am sure i got pass my a levels. haha. weirdo me. i am just being paranoid i think. well. i got rid of them in the end. not for the notes. i threw away all those assignments. those revision papers. i kept my notes in one cupboard. gonna get files and compile them and then keep them nicely away. i think i seriously need to clean things up soon. or i'll get a big headache soon. more cleaning up to do for the next few days or so. need to really plan my time well and get things done. sigh. hate to do cleaning up. it's way too ma fan for me. first time i did so much cleaning. argh. i gonna get a maid next time. hehe. i sound spoilt. really spoilt. brat i am. haha. hope my room is clean and nice soon!

happy day - day 2

today is happy day. the second day. the wedding dinner. saw many many relatives this time. saw my pretty little cousin, tong tong. grown to be so cute. the last time i went my grandma's place also saw her. very pretty with longer hair. haha. hardly a chance for so many of us relatives to gather together unless with this such occasions. but good. happy occasions and everyone is happy and enjoying themselves. wedding dinner are typical. usual. eat and eat. if you ask how my day is. it's just another typical day. of course. happy to be out and get to eat nice food. but other than that, i dont know how to describe it anymore. anyway. things are fine again. daily updates are making my brain run dry of what to say. except i'm a little tired. maybe cos it was quite bored to wait for the dinner to start and the long bus journey back. chinese dinners are always like that. it takes years to start. haha. but once it starts, everyone eats it all so fast. haha. kiasu huh. maybe. :) well. i loved the dessert at the end. mango sago with vanilla ice-cream. simply heavenly. haha. one of the best dishes. a good way to end the dinner. haha. should be shopping for new year clothes sometime soon. cos i think nearer the date. it would be harder for me to pick time out. getting lazier each day. maybe cos i slacked too much. but the thing is i get really sian to go out. i rather laze at home. at least that's cheaper. well. maybe a better tmr huh. haha. we shall see.

happy day - day 1

went to my 1st uncle's house today. havent been there for ages. i used to go there and stay over when i was still in primary school on weekends cos my mum have to help out at my dad's stall and will be leaving us alone at home if she doesnt bring us there. so we go there and get baby-sitted by my aunt. sigh. the past. there used to be another block of flats just beside my uncle's block. now it's gone. everything has changed. i have grown up. haha. getting older that is. anyway. a happy day. cos it's my cousin's wedding. witnessed for the first time in my life, a traditional chinese wedding tea ceremony. volunteered to be a waitress and hold the tray for the teapot and cups. haha. a little extra over there but well. i dont mind. i would be standing there stoning anyway if i dont help out. and in the end, i served my cousin and my cousin-in-law tea too as part of the fun. just like my other cousins and my sis. received an ang bao. haha. :) there was to be another church solemnisation ceremony but i gave it a miss. simply cos i had to tutor and work later. sad life huh. tuition was all the same. realised i somehow dont make a really good tutor. i missed out things to teach her for her to do her assessment books. so had to go through it with her. well. teaching. dont know if i am cut out for it. makes me think of school, results, university and scholarship applications. argh. a little stressed up about it. but didnt really voice it out at home. now that there's only mum and my younger sis at home. they wouldnt understand and cant give much help about those things that are bothering me. dont know what to do. now focusing on earning money from work and tutoring. hope i survive well for this period of time. i wonder how life will change when i get back results. how life goes on after my sis returns. how life progresses with the start of uni (that is if i get in). i think i need school now. need something to really trigger my brain cells. malfunctioning. sigh. getting dumber and dumber. ok. set. i'll make a trip to the library next week. i think. now i am so freaking scared of going out. the transport fees are killing me. and i have this tendency to snack and snack. i feel like i am getting out of control. argh. so many things to consider. i might as well sleep at home. even at home i am bored. ah. i want to go school. for once. please. need something stimulating. chat with my sis online. i am a failure i think. i cant really think of what to say. usually not very vocal when comes to this stuff. i can write stuff. letters, emails. i hate phone calls. haha. sry sis. i didnt say much. i dont know what to say. i am stressed up. but just dont know how to describe the situation. dont really want to bother you with my stuff cos you are coping with things over in atlanta. let's hope we both get ourselves out of those mess. :) tmr will be a happy day. again. cos that's when the wedding dinner will be. haha. going to eat. argh. can imagine how much i will gain within this week. really cant go out more and more. it's getting out of hand. too much. haha. simply too much.

scholarship applications

sigh. beginning to start into it. i am slower than most people i guess. only really considering dbs one so far. maybe cass also. argh. hate the form. online forms are crap. better to get those form which you slowly fill up. sigh. dont know. might just give up later. most probably studying in a local university anyway. a scholarship. sigh. might not even get it. i am just fussing over sthg impossible. argh. wonder what to do. will try to do it. got one more month anyway. i dont have to rush to complete it too early and compete. my results now cant get me anywhere. maybe a levels results might help. well. hope and pray. i am getting fed up.

sleep?!?

somehow. i am waking up super early these few days. compared to previous times during holiday that is. i am waking up at like 9 plus near to 10. half an hour or so before the time i set for my alarm i would be woken up. by something or someone. monday was cos my mum called someone to repair those electric sockets in our house, so she called to wake me up. tuesday was cos my uncle's gonna come and fix the tap. she called me to ask me to take a bath first cos when he fixes the tap, the water supply will be gone. and it wasnt long after that my uncle came. less than 15 minutes for a bath. wednesday was my own stuff. had to go with tee seng for his interview which was at 10am. yesterday manage to get some sleep. half past 10. then had to go buy things for my mum. AND today. crap. was woken up by my uncle cos he had to collect something from our place. he was supposed to come yesterday afternoon and now he comes at 9 plus in the morning. woke me up from my sleep. sigh. i seriously cant go back to sleep now. i will sure oversleep and i still have to work later. argh. this weekend gonna be crappy again. cos my schedule is packed fully. sigh. need some help out there to give me some energy from the relative lack of sleep. i want to sleep till 12! but i cant?

c

- cecil street-

went with teeseng to an agency which was located in some old building at cecil street. first time i step on that street. not those place that i visit often anyway. and the first time i step into a job agency. lucky me. i dont have to get into those place to get my jobs. i usually have helps from people around me to get me employers. tuition or cashier jobs. i am a lucky girl. haha. first time i know that it's really a blessing to have people to help you "pull strings" and get into jobs. cos we waited for about an hour or so before the people there attended to him and inform him about the job that they are going to assign him to for the next 3 weeks. saw many different kind of people. some as sales promoter for handphones, some applying jobs as cashiers, some trying to make up their minds whether to take up the job or what. during that one hour or so that we were there, we sat guessing what place he would be working in, whether he'll get the job and talking more crap. well, at least we were kept occupied. haha. it's gonna be super boring if not for those rubbish we talked about. haha. in the end, he got a $5 per hour job. most probably gonna be tough but at least there's money for doing that. a worthwhile trip afterall.

- coffee bean -

after that, passed by coffee bean which was at the corner of that super old building. haha. bought a regular the ultimate. wah. crap. i am splurging. haha. drank it. and one thing to say. i'll never take it again. haha. not cos it tastes horrid, but a personal preference. dont really have a thing for coffee. wanted to try it out cos that time my sis' blog said she had it and she liked it. haha. we are different. she likes coffee. i dont. haha. next time i'll keep to my small pure chocolate. haha. something suitable for kids. something suitable for me.

- chinatown -

walked to chinatown from cecil street. didnt know the way. teeseng led the way. at first was a little excited that we can get to shop around those new year stalls. but when we reached there, realised most of those stalls arent even up yet. haha. one month before chinese new year. still too early huh. haha. had lunch there and realised it's been so long since i went chinatown to eat. daddy used to bring us to eat the carrot cake that a friend he knew sells. teeseng was nice to look around for that stall with me to try look for that carrot cake stall. haha. but well. found it. the dessert stall was still there too. but both were closed. no luck. in the end, still ate delicious stuff for lunch. chinatown simply have too much good food. imagine i stay near there. i'll gain weight super fast. cheap and good food is simply irresistible.

- cds -

not only was there cheap food. there was also cheap new music cds. haha. bought she's encore and angela chang's aurora for my younger sis. and that only cost me $11.40. kind of splurging. haha. but i'll get money back from her when she gets paid. haha. i am paying up in advance for quite some people. haha. funny. i am splurging in my own way. sigh. looks like i have to control my spending or else the one getting out of control will be me. haha, but those cds are really nice. haha. have been thinking of buying them and since they are at such affordable prices, why pass the chance? also, i realised that direct ways of asking for a gift is indeed more effective than hinting for one. haha. i managed to get pan weibo's wuha album cos i asked teeseng to buy for me! haha. well. good move. next time i'll try it on more people. haha. i am getting more and more thick-skinned. watch out! those people that i shop with. no more hints. haha. direct is the way to go. in the end, i went back with 3 cds! woah. shopped around the chinatown until it was time for me to start travelling to ang mo kio for tuition. haha. first time i went looking around chinatown. rather interesting experience. byebye orchard since christmas is over. hello chinatown for it's chinese new year soon!

- chips craving -

tuition went on as per normal. whatelse can happen? haha. the usual maths and english bits. went back home at around six. haha. bought some chips at the stall at the bus-stop near my house cos i had the craving for chips the whole day. haha. managed to satisfy myself with a small packet of jack 'n' jill bbq potato chips. haha. had home-cooked food for dinner. nice. haha. hardly a chance that my mum gets to come home early from work and prepare dinner for us. haha.

- computer -

nothing else for the day. now of course blogging on the computer. tv maybe. later. haha. that's all for today. not bad. i kept myself occupied again. dont think there'll be much for the whole of this week. except for dinner with zhixuan, flor and mich. well. i need to control my spending anyway. argh. shall stop thinking of going out and making my days eventful. haha.

shopping spree

day started off quite well. my 2nd uncle came to our house to fix our tap cos none of us at home can handle that. in the end, he treated me to chicken rice for my breakfast-cum-lunch. went to my grandma's place cos he had to send lunch to them too. met my cousin, tong tong. so long since i saw her and she has grown taller. now can blabber words off her mouth. learns things really fast now. cant imagine the next time i see her. maybe during new year. she'll grow to be even smarter.

after that was tuition with the student i'm taking over for my sister. everything went on well. definitely better than yesterday's. yesterday went there with the flu bug still bugging me and even spilled the drink on the table. today, everything went on smoothly. managed to really test him with mental sums. haha. i set him killer questions so that he would think more than he speaks. hmmm.

after that went shopping with my younger sis and my best friend. went off to orchard. shopped at fox and bought a shirt each. there was an offer there that's up to 50% if there are purchase of 4 items or more. we only had one each and end up combining with someone else. seems like we did that person a favour, but she did us one too. haha. 3 people buying a shirt each cant possibly get the 50% discount. well. win-win situation. even shopped at samuel & kelvin. got one top that's completely of a different design as those that i usually get. hmmm. not bad for a start. trying more clothes. in the end i paid a total of 100+ bucks. haha. not cos i bought a lot. but paid for my friend's one first before she gets her pay and including my share and my sis'. well. not really splurging since i seldom go shopping for clothes or what. haha. i usually do window shop more than really buying.

well. not bad for a tuesday. hopefully there's more fun for the rest of the week . :P

what kind of soul are you?

You Are a Bright Star Soul

Like a shining star, you have no trouble being the center of attention In fact, you often feel a bit hurt when all eyes aren't on you You need to be number one in everything, no matter how trivial And it's this ego that both hurts your confidence and helps you acheive You're dramatic and a powerhouse of pure energy You posess a divine quality or uniqueness that's hard to define A natural performer, it's likely you'll become famous in some circles. Just learn not to take everyone's reaction to you so personally! Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul and Prophet Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?

can imagine how bored i am. very. haha. i am doing crap and posting crap. :)

bossy brat

this is some test that i did when i was really super bored. i think that's quite obvious. within 3 hours, i have blogged twice. i've got nothing to do i guess. just for fun and here's the results to the test Are You a Brat?


Large and in charge — that's what you hope to be. And while it's never a bad idea to have a little ambition, you'll do what it takes to get to the top. Unfortunately, it's not always the best way to make friends. Try to remember that life's all about give and take. And sometimes, you have to listen to other people's ideas, especially before you, uh, borrow them.

Being CEO of everything doesn't mean you've gotta step on other people's toes. So, slow down, cowboy. Take a big, long breath. Ahhhh. Doesn't that feel better?


ok. for once i realised. i am some brat.

finally my blog is up.

nicely done in fact. thanks to my dearest friend peishan. haha. must say the name. haha. she helped me got this nice page up. thanks girl. without you helping, i'll most prob use one of those templates there and get messed up without a tag-board. thanks lots. haha. tomorrow will be our shopping day. finally i get to shop. i think i only have you to shop with me. my friends are like working too. the thing is i've got the slackest job.

and also thanks to my sis, whom i am missing so much. she's off in atlanta for exchange. and simply cos she's overseas. the internet seems to be our form of communication. this thus forced me to get this done up soon. so that she can get updated on what haps over here in singapore.
