simple sunday

a rather simple sunday.
i am quite amazed at how awake i am.
despite the severe lack of sleep.
i napped for 3.5 hours yesterday after my tuition till 8 pm.
which resulted in a sleepless night.
was tossing and turning in bed for at least 2 hours before i managed to get some sleep.
first thing was the amount of mosquitoes attacking me.
then was a runny nose.
ended up i only slept at close to 4 am in the morning.
and had to wake up at 6.30 am.
thank God that i was able to wake up.
and the mosquito bites werent itchy by then.
the the runny nose was gone.
amazing.

today's words.
faith.
a powerful tool that we have by God's grace.
1. faith gives strength and courage.
2. faith gives the ability to persevere and persist.
3. faith can help us to deal with worry and fear.
4. faith allows us to know how to respond to failures and mistakes.
5. faith helps us not to surrender our dreams to the noisy negative of life.
splendid food for thought.
and what i need to build up strongly. :)

had tuition after coming back.
and it was a rather fun session.
my student's mum got her to bring this roll of ritz biscuits the day before.
and so we snacked on it during tuition today.




rather nice cheesy ritz biscuit.
hehe.
i'm one lucky tutor i guess.
she's a rather fun student to tutor.
except for the times she cry.
somehow i wonder if it's me.
that i make her cry very easily.
or it's her.
she cries easily.
haha.
was giving her quite a fair bit of homework and that set her crying.

just ended tuition and mum's gonna get dinner back soon.
hehe. i'm so pampered.
finally a sunday that i dont have to think of rushing back to hall.
how nice.
simplicity is one way to enjoy life.

sometimes.
i really like the holidays.
when work doesnt set in yet.
hehe.

and yeap a new blogskin.
yes i know the previous one hasnt been up for long.
hehe.
but it's gonna make a come-back.
after my craze for this movie is over.
which is when i get to watch it.
and it's only coming out may 25.
so i guess this is gonna be up for about a month.
hehe.
not really as cute as the previous one of course.
but i think it's cool.
hehe.
previous one will be back cos i like it too!

strike freedom launched

yay!
finally i finished this race.
finally to the end of exams.
finally i can say goodbye to the 17-day long torture.
finally finally.
the moment my paper was collected the person sitting behind me in the exam hall was telling me. zong yu kao wan le. i was like. ya lor.
haha.
the moment i stepped out of the exam hall i was jumping for joy.
cos finally i survived this whole thing.
thank god.
and of course the paper was ok.

so glad i practised the paper with my classmates yesterday.
man they are damn good at spotting questions!
haha.
they've been great motivation during this period of time.
not the 6a kind of motivation though.
6a motivation is like always there.
haha. the motivation i get now is only during exams.
hehe.

i'm so happy.
cos.
today is the final day of my exams!

and also.
it's my sister's birthday.
happy birthday my dearest sister!
i still owe you a present.
hehe.
we shall go shopping together to get you one big big one!
happy birthday!
you're such a blessing.
love ya loads.
hehe.

and of course.
the how-can-i-forget teeseng's birthday!
haha. was sms-ing him to wish him happy birthday today.
and he was like haha you remembered haha how nice haha how expected.
how expected. -.-
man this guy's birthday falls on the same day as my sister's.
like how can i possibly forget.
funny fellow.

anyway.
i came back home after exams.
yes that sounds sad.
but mum prepared me a splendid dinner.
and there's cake-cutting later for sis' birthday.
so what more can i say.
it's great to be back home. :)

gonna enjoy myself watching butterfly effect tonight.
hehe.

and zhien is happy today.

butterfly effect

the flapping of a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere, which could over time cause a tornado to occur.
that is, sensitivity to intial conditions.
closely linked to chaos theory.
does the flap of a butterfly's wings in brazil set off a tornado in texas?

i guessed i learnt one lesson.
somehow.
never underestimate the effects of small issues.
for one. the results can be quite disastrous.

i so want to watch the movie again.
after this last paper tomorrow. i'll go re-watch.

anyway.
this is yet another blog entry before my paper.
and yes.
tomorrow is the last paper.
stupid me actually dreamt this morning just before i woke up that it's the end of the last paper.
can imagine me grinning like mad.
like finally.
tomorrow shall be the final lap.

was out studying today with 3 other fellow schoolmates.
and was discussing the past year papers.
kind of glad that i could at least attempt some questions.
came back and did nothing much.
and i guess i kind of slacked off.
shit this.
and tmr's paper. i expect it to be hard.
cos it's one of the subjects i have major headaches with.
i hope that everything will go just fine.
just have to go all out for this final one.

special thanks to sis who constantly gave me encouragement.
and ying too. whose jia you forever sounds so sweet.
mum doesnt say much. i know she's got high expectations though she often say jing li jiu hao.
i dont want to disappoint her.
and i am trying real hard.

being back home yesterday make me miss home tonight.
came back to hall to mug and i so wished i am back at home.
hall alone is sad.
home is sweet.
man. i'm gonna be so thankful to be back home tmr.

gonna hit the books and do a bit more revision.
then i shall go sleep.
conserve all energy.
just for the last lap tomorrow.
go go go!


hehe. just a glimpse of my accounting textbook before the paper tomorrow.
i hope i do well.
and i must do well.

it's just me

not particularly in a good mood today.
not cos the paper was tough.
in fact the it paper was manageable.
hope i do well.

but well.
i guessed stupid me made another mistake again.
so well.
somehow i just seem to say the wrong things at the wrong time.
i wonder why.
it's just me again.
maybe i ought to be born dumb.
then i wont go around offending people with what i say.

i hate it.
sometimes to the extent that i hate myself for being stupid.
small little things just seem to be magnified simply cos of sthg stupid i say.
yes it's just me.

still.
i guess i dont explain things enough.
maybe that's why.
stubborn me always give people shit.
with all the nothing. none of your business.
when people are asking simply how i am out of concern.
stupid right?
yes that's me.

maybe it's really time i voice out things clearly.
but with caution.
time and time again.
it's a lesson i need to learn.
and yet i've always failed to be able to.
stupid? yes i agree i can be stupid.
it's just me.

and to just show how stupid i can be.
i actually got so distracted that i got things burnt in the conventional oven at home tonight while trying to make myself something to eat.
damn shit.
i am disgusted by myself.


the food actually turned out like this.
when it's supposed to look like...


hmmm. stupid zhien does stupid things.

:(
an unhappy zhien trying to remind herself to smile in case i irritate more people again.

smile. zhien. smile.
and stop being stupid.

on blogging to destress

yes.
another paper tmr.
argh.
damn shit.
information technology.
woo.
talk about all the it stuff when i'm some it-idiot.
i'm now almost like at a pt where i am totally turned off by reading and memorising.
saturated.
but then still.
there seems to be a lot that i just cant seem to remember yet.
argh.
stressing.
what's more stressing is the friday paper.
time is passing.
which can be good or bad.
means not much time to prepare for the last paper.
but also means.
i am finishing my examinations.
man. talk about the contradictions in life.

i was so moody in the morning that i made someone very pissed off.
cos i was pulling a long face.
sigh. i wonder what is wrong too.
it's just me.
somehow when i am very stressed.
i also become very "attitude".
especially to those whom i think will be able to take it.
sry. really really sry.
sigh. i honestly just get on people's nerves at times.
out to test limits?
hmmm. bad me.

anyway.
i'm out to destress.
so i shall talk nonsense from here on.

to show off how much a winnie the pooh lover i can be.


a picture of my pooh cushion.
it lies on the shelf beside my bed.
posted a picture of this before.
a fellow senior gave it to me.
how nice.
everyone knows i am winnie's fan.


my pooh soft-toy.
a gift from linda.
so sweet.
hehe. mine's pink.
chiew lin got one that's blue.
hehe. lovely.
haha.
my roomie is very nice.
gonna miss being your roomie too!


my winnie the pooh tissue box.
a bit wrong season.
but still.
who cares?
it's winnie the pooh.
hehe.
so cute.
this is only the first box out of the whole packet of 5 that i bought.
hehe.
more more more winnie the pooh!


this was a gift very long time back.
pooh towel.
so cute right?
hehe.
i've got a lot a lot of pooh stuff.
and i dont mind more!
hehe.

i'm just short of winnie the pooh pillow case, bedsheets and blanket.
the set that chiew lin has.
*boohoo*

and on sunday night.
eric gave me a treat.
this!

made me walk all the way from my room to his just to take one though.
hehe.
cos linda already got their treat the day before.
haha.
still.
a nice treat.
it's been some time since i ate that!

licked it clean!

look at the wrapper!
hehe.
not very clear though.

and on my last piece of crap.
jp's kfc got renovated some time back too.
only got to take a pic today cos we were sitting at one of the tables while planning for jj's bday surprise.
hehe.


they've got a cosy corner with cushioned chairs.
cool right?


and i finally got to eat cheese fries.
dont know how long was the last time i ate that.
sad.

ok. enough crap.
time to get back to mugging!
hehe.

blogging

when i should be mugging.
somehow very distracted.
sigh.
this is horrible.
i hate exams.
friday shall be the last paper.
and i hope everything goes well.
argh.
damn stressing.

anyway.
of a rather wasted weekend.

only went back home from hall on saturday morning.
spent friday night trying to study.
but i doubt i accomplished much.

made dinner for myself.

think that this looks healthy?
hehe.


not quite after adding this!


tada! the final product.
hehe.
glutton me finished up everything myself of course.
hehe.

and tonight's dinner was great too.
kind of like a bday celebration dinner for sis's birthday.
so we went for zi char somewhere near grandma's place.


this is a picture of hanfeng who playfully tried to order nothing but fried rice.


the two uncles!


one of the dishes. sweet and sour pork.
i only managed to take a picture after some of us had helped themselves to the food.
can imagine how hungry we were.
hehe.
the person took some time to serve.
and didnt had quite a good attitude.
well.
cant really be bothered.


salad prawn!
this one is tasty.
cos i like! :)
hehe.


after that got lazy taking every pick.
sthg in general.
basically there was a lot of food.
which were quite nice.
hehe.
i like the prawn thing the best.
hehe.

on a sidenote.
to emphasize on how different i can be from most girls.

while girls go eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee over this.
i go ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh over this.
cos "eeeeeeeeeeeeeee" was one of the exclamation i heard from one small girl today when she saw this poster.
hmmmm. this is one movie i gonna catch!
who cares.
hehe.

anyway.
i think i'm experiencing one of those mood swings again.
"how can you lose what you never had"
quoting from one elvis presley song.
haha.
i have never ever listened to this.
just randomly searched on the net.
tried to recall a song i knew with lyrics sthg like that.
but cant.
so well.
somehow.
at times i feel as if i've lost sthg that i never even had before.
:(
weird.
well.
i really need to stop thinking too much.
bleh.

before i end this long entry.
lesson of the day is - learn to live correctly.
cos we've got limited time on this earth.
make use of every opportunity.
and of course understand the will of the lord.

focus focus.
shall try to get started with mugging.
argh.
*pulls hair*

now i know

why i am not cut out for law.
haha.
had my business law paper today.
and it turned out quite disastrous.
sadly.
despite all the revision.
i didnt have the time to finish quite a huge chunk of the paper.
so it means that i totally gave up a large portion of my marks.
now can only hope that the ones i did are well-done.
cos i dont think i can afford to lose anymore marks.
how sad.
but well.
nothing much i can do now.
except to start doing revision for my next paper.
and hopefully everything goes well.
one more week to go.
and it's the end of exams.
so i guess the extra effort put in for this last lap in exchange for a long break should be worth it.
gonna have to really really try my best.
lesson learnt today i need proper time management.

nonetheless still a rather fine day.
tonight stayed back in hall.
and linda chiewlin decided to diy dinner.
and top on the menu was instant noodles.
haha.
how interesting.

shall let the pictures do the talking.

this is my share of the noodles.
compare it with the next one. hehe.


this is what linda cooked for her *cough* you-know-who.
lol.
haha. this is sabotage la.
clarification. i choose to have that amount of stuff to eat.
my first time eating instant noodles without soup.
a little sua gu. but well. i am no ambassador of instant noodles anyway.
so i insisted that i only have one packet of noodles.
then picky me didnt want that much hotdog. and so they each had to end up eating 3.
haha. i am some brat.


of course. to contribute a little on my part.
i decided to get some cooked side dishes from the hall canteen.
looks pathetic in the amount.
tried communicating to the uncle that i wanted extra portions but well.
maybe it's the generation gap. or it's just me.
he doesnt understand.

so that concluded dinner for the day.
kind of fun.
and well. sthg other than the canteen food.
hehe.
in fact.
i think for the whole of this week.
i've practically not touched much canteen food.
except for monday dinner. tuesday lunch. wednesday lunch.
three out of ten meals for each week.
hmm. haha. seems really little for a hostelite like me.
lol.

now taking a break off mugging to blog.
so shall have to get back to it.
gonna have to make full use of my time to study what i can.
so that i can do well for this exams.
man. i need to pull up my gpa.
bleh.
study study.
shall psycho myself to ganbatte!

what a world

now i need some avenue to express how horribly horrified i am.
bet linda and chiew lin will laugh over this super hard.
man i shouldnt have read that blog.
sickening.
now it's so traumatizing.
goodness gracious me.
ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
help these people man.
anyway.
take a look at this.

not sure if u can see the word's clearly.
but it reads "coupled on 10th april 2006" and then "boy sees boy, boy likes boy, boy have sex with boy, boy loves boy"
it's a blog about a gay couple la.
*faints*
i need some help now.
can't claim for nervous shock given the qualifications stated in my business law text.
gosh.
man i need to get out of this terrorized state.
it just seems so wrong.
of course i am not in any position to dictate what is right and what is wrong.
but it just doesnt make sense to me.
at least i just find it off.
ok. fine. i am biased.
deeply horrified.
man this is worse than watching final destination 3.
ok i am over-reacting.
*breathe in breathe out*

the day before my next paper.
business law.
and i've got to be so traumatized.
how sad.
i need some rest.
haha.
still i hope i do well.
spent almost my whole day out.
was discussing with two classmates of mine the past year papers.
damn stressing.
after all the effort.
i certainly hope that it pays off.

anyway.
to make myself a bit better.
i shall blog about other stuff.
started off with a bad intro.
hehe.

anyway.
tell me.

what's the use of a healthy lunch...
take for example,

a subway sandwich. turkey breast. parmesan oregano. 6-inch. lettuce,cucumber,tomato,green pepper, pepper. honey mustard.

when you go for a highly sinful dessert...
take for example,

anderson's ice-cream sundae. 3 scoops of ice-cream with hot fudge and whipped cream. forgot exactly the names of the 3 i ate today. but the banana crunch is nice. can challenge ben&jerry's chunky monkey. woohoo.

and have dinner at mcdonald's?
i've been eating too much nice stuff since the start of this week.
is it the exams?
or is it me?

and one interesting thing i found out.
qiu dao yu = saba fish
qiu dao yu de zi wei mao gen ni dou xiang liao jie.
that's from jay chou's qi li xiang.
and i nvr ever knew what qiu dao yu was.

saw this at the korean food stall at jp kopitiam foodcourt.
still. i dont know what is the taste of saba fish.
haha.

and breadtalk got quite some nice-looking cakes.
took this out of boredom.
was waiting somewhere near the breadtalk at jp and this caught my attention.

tiramisu cake! woooooo.

this is called chocolate fanfare.
it costs 35 bucks for a 1-kg cake.
this was the one that caught my attention.
looks super chocolately.
i wonder if it's nice.
hehe.

ok. time to get back to doing a little more revision before i hit the bed.
good luck for me tmr!
must do well!
go go go zhien!
hehe.

food galore

this is gonna be one random entry.
next paper on friday this week.
sob. will only end on friday next week.
hmmmmm. will have to survive this.
will survive this.
hehe.


the new pizza hut at jp.
it underwent some renovation weeks back.
now it is such a pretty place.
haha. lovely.


and beside the lovely new pizza hut is subway!
yay. jp has got a subway too now.
havent got a chance to grab myself a subway sandwich though.
it was super crowded today.
hmmm. it's been some time since i had subway.
hehe.
maybe should get myself one soon.
craving.


and introducing...
chicken crispy noodle
this is from the sizzling hotplate stall at banquet.
the foodcourt at b1 of jp.
man i like the food from this stall.
served sizzling hot.
and tasty too.
*drools*


and this is quite obvious.
fried fish bee hoon.
haha.
quite nice too.
somehow i just like fried fish bee hoon.
and the amount of fried fish they serve is quite a lot.
haha. at least i think it's a lot.

the food at banquet is a wee bit higher than that at kopitiam the level 3 foodcourt though.
hehe. but i think the food is nice.
good for a change at times.
and easier to find seats.
hehe.
;)

weeeee.
i'm hungry for food.
when i should be thirsty for knowledge now.
hmmm. weird.

out of here.

chew on this

sometimes, the more serious the incident, the less expression you potray it.
it would be at a point where you don't even know what to feel, much less how to show it.
crying is nothing but venting, pouring out the pain you feel in your heart, and bringing back nothing: not the person, not the loss, not even the memories.

and when time finally lighten the pain and burden you feel in your heart, you can smile again.
but nothing will be the same, no matter how much the rest want or think it would be.

took this off ps's blog.
was reading it and cant help but agree with it.
sometimes people ask me how i felt when my dad passed away.
5 years ago.
even now. i cant describe the way i feel.
regret? but not exactly.
upset? of course. but then it seems like insufficient to describe the way i really felt.

my immediate reaction i can still recall then wasnt crying.
for a moment i didnt know how to react when the doctor broke the news to us.
i usually dont cry easily. at least in front of people i seldom.
i think that was the first time ps ever saw me cry.
there and then i was stunned for a moment.
then came the crying.
crying. indeed is a form of relief.
nonetheless temporary.
crying can be very tiring.
and of course crying doesnt change anything.

even till now. i seldom talk much about how exactly i felt.
5 years.
i dont even think it's long enough time to get over things yet.
i guess grief is something really really unpredictable.

most people's opinion of me is someone very strong.
at least that's what i can recall of those things that my secondary school classmates wrote for me when i got them to write in my autograph book when we were graduating from secondary school.
in fact, i dont regard myself as strong.
i am just good at hiding.
afterall. it doesnt take that much effort to smile than to cry.
smiling isnt as tiring.

i nvr liked answering question about how i feel over my dad's passing.
it's like forcing me out of my hide-out.
i dont answer much. cos talking too much.
i'll choke over my words.
then again the whole process of crying.
the wound doesnt seem to heal.
yes it does close up.
but then at times it can rip open.
simply cos i dont give it proper treatment by escaping.
then again. i nvr really knew where to find the proper treatment.

i nvr liked looking straight into people's eyes.
it reveals too much.
i think.
at least it reveals too much about me.

writing this now. i can say. i feel nothing.
honest. i am not crying.
not cos i am numb.
not cos i dont feel upset about the whole issue.
but well.
it's a different channel.
it's easy to type.

i can only say that.
the way things are now are fine.
but if given a choice.
i'd rather dad still be around.
but i guess it's planned this way.
so that i learn to handle certain things.
so that i learn to be less of a spoilt brat.
so that i learn to live appreciating those around me.
so that i learn to love and treasure the ones that are alive.
so that i learn to be who i am now and be better.

anyway. read this on rick warren's the purpose driven life.
and it's really a wonderful book.
some interesting quotes.
"life minus love equals zero"
life is about loving god. and also loving the people around you!
"the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E"
relationships take time and effort, so dont just say. it's about investing your time and effort!
action speaks louder than words.

1 day to second paper

having my next paper tomorrow.
which is my second paper for this semester's examination.

then wednesday morning for next week.
then friday afternoon for next week.
then the end of all the misery.
and a big hello to my holiday!

this weekend has been.
erm. i personally think i've been really slack when it comes to mugging.
partially cos i'm rather short-sighted.
been preparing for the papers this week.
leaving those for the next untouched.
which is quite worrying now.
cos they are tough papers.
argh.
screwed.

and also cos it's economics tomorrow.
part of me says that i should be able to handle cos took it at a levels.
but part of me also tells me that it's different from a levels.
argh.
it's horrifying.
haha.
i better do well tomorrow.
cos i want to do well this semester.
cannot screw up cannot screw up.
hmmm. why am i still here then.

day 1

day 1 of the 17-day long battle.
anticipating the end of all the blood-shed.
despite the fact that this day is only day 1.
the beginning.

yes. beginning with the end in mind.

today's battle results.
survived.
battled for a total of 1 hr 45 mins.
had a weird splitting pain in the head in the morning before the paper.
and a runny nose.
but thank god.
i wasnt affected when i was in the exam hall.
and managed to complete my paper and leave the exam hall 15 mins before the stipulated time.
not cos it's super duper easy.
but it was manageable.
and plus the last part which was the essay.
know it means know it.
so i guess there wasnt much to really check through.
there's no way to rewrite anyway.
overall. i guess the results would be satisfactory.

2 more papers up next for the coming week.
and then 2 more papers in the week after next.
and friday the 28th shall be a day definitely worth celebrating.

things to look forward to for now.
celebrating chiewlin's birthday. the zinc chloride, former oc gang, first outing after yr 1 sem 2 exams.
celebrating linda's birthday. the zinc chloride, former oc gang, second outing after yr 1 sem 2 exams.

so that after that i can play hard.
:)

1 day closer

Take The Quiz Yourself!

saw this off sis' blog.
then took the quiz.
hmmm i remembered getting rukia when i did the quiz the last time i think.
haha. personality change maybe?
haha.
but anyway.
now i'm the impulsive orange-head blur king.
haha.

anyway.
there was good news.
got my first choice subject for inter-sem elective.
which means i can clear off one module.
and i was told it's non-examinable.
so i guess it's good too.
will strive hard to do well.
so mondays tuesdays and wednesdays mornings starting june19 will be school days for me.
hehe.
but a really nice timetable of 9 am to 12 noon classes each day.
just got to wake up a little earlier.
and i'm glad that sis got her choice of subject too.
although we didnt manage to get a subject together.

and then spent my day mugging.
which hmmm. shld i say. was hilarious.
but at least sthg was done.
not really super a lot.
but i guess i did sthg.

one day closer to the start.
and yes.
the battle is starting.
12th is my first paper.
and i'll be looking forward to the last paper on the 28th.
embarking on the beginning with the end in mind.
i guess it's a nice way to put it.
shld be able to do proper revision so long as i discipline myself enough.
this semester.
i've got to make an improvement.
a vast improvement too.

and happy birthday to ying.
blessed since the day you came into this world.
hope it'll continue to be that way too.
my dear girl. stay happy always!
love ya loads.

family sunday

lesson of the day - failure is not fatal
remember that everybody fails.
remember that the someone watching over all of us loves us not for our success.
remember that lessons can be learnt from failures.

linda was saying my blog is gathering dust again.
but i only didnt blog for friday and saturday!
hmmmm.
weird. it's just my blog isnt it?
haha.

went back home on friday.
only to really award myself with a break.
mum made my favourite potato soup.

it looks plain though she added carrots, pork ribs, onions other than potatoes in.
but picky me only took the potatoes and the soup.
anyway. i loved it so much that i gulped down two bowls of that for dinner.
and of course.
tried my best to study given the slacker mode i was in.

saturday slept to my fill.
and woke up only after much screams by sis.
haha.
lazy me. poor sis.
then after that tutored.
and went out with sis for a while to shop for presents.
april is horrible.
it's exam month.
and so many people are having their birthdays.
it's making me broke.
haha.
but then again.
it's the month in which two of the most important people in my life were born.
after that slacked around at home again.
but i'm finally done with one last chapter of one. yes one of my exam modules that i have to prepare for.

then sunday was rather eventful.
went out for dinner tonight.
just to celebrate ying's birthday earlier.
went to great world city crystal jade restaurant for dinner.
a sumptuous meal i must say.
we took so much so much photos.
haha.
crazy people.
but yea it was a great meal.
cos we seldom get to eat together.
so it was definitely a nice time spent.
some crap photos i took of the food.
sis' phone got more pics.
haha.
shall get from them before i post.
hehe.

the menu

what i ordered for dinner. shrimp wanton noodles.
the wanton is shrimpy-licious. haha.
damn nice.

i dont really recall what this dish is called.
but i think it's number 20 on the menu list.
some fried dumpling with salad sauce or sthg.
haha.
nice too. the sauce is nice.
again more shrimp.

this one is good.
haha.
small and simply lovely when eaten once it's served.
hot hot one.
very very tasty.

and this one which ying picked cos it was the chef's recommendation.
haha.
yummy.
and it simply smells damn good.
haha.
ok now my blog looks like some food recommendation site.
yea but it was a good dinner.
shall post more photos of people when i get them from my beloved sisters.
haha.
meanwhile.
stick to the food-that-makes-you-drool pictures.
haha.

anyway. i had a funny encounter tonight on my way back to hall tonight.
slipped and fell over a pool of water.
and right in front of a bunch of guys.
damn embarrassing.
but well.
at least they were nice enough to not laugh at my stupid stunt.
hehe.
i'm clumsy.
wah haha.
and yea. i am not injured.
i've got someone watching over me.
and i was created with a butt that can cushion a fall.
;)

and before i end this entry.
something i would like to add on to my wishlist for now.
haha.
a watch!
yes to think i want a swatch watch.
and i've yet to get that nike bag that i wanted previously.
long time back.
argh.
i'm bad at saving.
why is it that they say singapore is one of the countries with the highest savings?

top-left: naive dream. one of original swatch watches. which means it shld cost 73 bucks in retail outlets. hmm. saw this on the website only and found it quite nice. the colour combi. my taste is weird la. if you dont agree that it's nice. haha.
top-right: the mother's day 2006 collection. really sweet. it's called flower wishes.
bottom-left: flowers forever. this interesting swatch skin collection that's very girl. haha. more interesting is that the strap is fabric. wouldnt really buy this one but it's still quite an interesting find. haha.
bottom-right: star hunt. another swatch skin collection. found it really nice at first sight. when i saw it at the retail outlet on saturday. but end up liking more the one beside it. but i cant seem to get a picture of it off the website.

by the way. the one i like cost 123 bucks. nice number. haha.
but then again.
i lack the funds! hehe.
shall have to come up with a proper budget. hmmm.
maybe i can come up with a good one after proper revision.
haha.

out of here.
enough of my crap.
another long entry.
bleh.
