the fan of the golden arches

i hope i spelt that correctly.
gradually becoming one big m fan.
tuesday night.
we ordered mc delivery into hall.
simply cos eric havent had dinner.
linda and chiewlin and i had this sudden craving.
end up they cheated us of one apple pie.
haha.
accident i guess.
left that apple pie out.
and caused quite a commotion when we called back and kept being put on hold.
thankfully they got our apple pie delivered some time later.
so we munched on french fries and sundae.
one lesson i learnt is never to order hot fudge sundae through delivery again.
it seriously tastes weird.
buying it and having it on the spot is a greater pleasure.

wednesday night.
linda suddenly felt like walking.
haha.
so we walked to the canteen.
and got each of us an apple pie back.
and enjoyed a "picnic under the stars".
chiewlin linda and i.
how sweet.
although there seriously wasnt any stars in sight.

thursday morning.
bought myself mc breakfast before class.

so i am eating my way to the fast food nation.
oops.

how sad.

here are some pics:


french fries.
one pile.
that we put together with what we ordered on tuesday night.
haha.
sinful.


one way to spell physiotherapist.
i got this off a book.
that my student had.
i asked for a book to read.
since i had to wait for her to get her work done.
and found this joke.
yet. i makes physiotherapist much easier to spell.
point to note. think twice before taking up this job?


meiji confectionary are really nice stuff.
got this as a so called surprise.
and i realised that it is a really nice chocolate.
it tastes like haagen daaz strawberry flavoured ice-cream.
just that when i had it it wasnt chilled.
but it's still nice.

well. i guess the past few days ever since the video thing had been fine so far.
except for one thing i did today that totally makes things kind of bad.
i guess sometimes i'm not tactful enough.
shot words off my mouth today.
and so i guess it's kind of an awkward situation now.
i was told not to be bothered by it.
but well. not as easy as it seems.
sometimes my impulsiveness does get better of me.
which is some stupid dumb habit that i should change.
sigh.
whatever.
doubt it's easy to explain anyway.
not as if i can take back my words anymore.
so i'll just have to take things as they come.
i guess i seriously shouldnt be too bothered by what happened.
afterall. the person i offended doesnt seem to be bothered.
crap.
i hate this kind of stupid shit.

harvest

there are times.
when you reap what you sow.
haha.
after tonight i finally could take a breather.

since the mad rush on friday to get the video done.
i've been constantly stressed over the whole thing.
last night spent the whole night in my boss' room just to get the video done.
end up not getting any sleep.
so i was in a daze this morning.

stopped work at 7 am this morning.
and made breakfast for linda and chiewlin.
pancakes!
hehe.
it's been some time since i last made pancakes.
and in my blur state, i forgot to take certain things at first.
so had to run up to the room to get and then get into the pantry again to cook.
haha.
and i was in a frenzy to get things done.
so that they can have sufficient time to eat before class.
still. in my mad rush, i forgot to take pictures.
nothing to post here lor.
haha.

then during project discussion i was quite dazed.
couldnt really argue my point out.
had to be stupidly laughed at for my incoherent comments.
haha.
kind of dumb.
but it was good that they were considerate enough to make an effort to end the discussion early and had changed the venue of the discussion to be held at my room.
so i got to take a half-hr nap on the table.
before working on subject registration for inter-sem.
and then going out for lunch then class.

during the lecture i was like very stoned.
haha.
keep dozing off at some parts.
luckily not for everything.
managed to get quite awake for some time after dozing off quite seriously.

skipped one lecture to get back to hall to get rest.
since the lecture most probably would not be of much help either.
so i managed to get 1.5 hrs of sleep.
before getting back to work again in my boss' room.
for one whole day.
my laptop wasnt in my room.
so sad.
it didnt feel right.
haha.

so now it's back.
hehe.
good good.

and the video was shown at the hall event tonight.
*beams with pride*
haha.
i'm so happy.
although the part i did was only 7-thirtieth of the whole video.
haha.
i guess the work paid off well.
most people's comments were that it was really well done.
although we noted some slight mistakes.
haha.
still i guess we are glad that it's now finally done.
and i am totally deprived of sleep which i will make a point to catch up on tonight.

here are some photos.

some sweet treats that i got on monday and today.


this really cute gummy in the shape of a cow.
it tastes like cola.
which is quite funny.
haha.


this one is in the shape of a pig.
haha.
really cute.


this looks nice.
tastes nice.
but really sweet.
haha.
i really was in for a sweet treat.


got this today.
when i woke up from my 1.5hr long nap.
kind of surprised to get it.
dont know why my senior just got it for me.
passed to linda since i was sleeping like some dead pig.
haha.
i guess quite a handful of people are aware of my fetish for winnie the pooh.
so now i've got this really cute pooh cushion with me in hall.
really nice.
but i guess it's quite odd at times to receive gifts out of no reason.
although it can really be a sweet thought.
haha.
but well.
i like winnie the pooh.

yes another official declaration.
haha.

fabulous weekend

i would consider this weekend enriching.
of course there was work to do.
but i guess it was well spent.
at least mostly was.

friday night was spent rushing through the video.
and i am so thankful.
thankful that the 2 people assigned to me were willing to rush with me.
i returned to hall only at 8 pm.
so held the discussion meeting only at 8.30 pm.
9 was the time for all of us to start work.
and we rushed to meet the 12 midnight deadline.
apparently we failed.
and i worked all the way till 7 am.
only to receive another clip from my boss.
which i was told that must include in the video too.
i almost collapsed.
gave up and went to sleep.
had to wake up at 8 am cos of the wsc event.

it was suprising how energetic i could be.
i think it's the high after the lack of sleep.
and the outing was quite fun.
and it definitely kept me away from thinking about the video.
and i was really glad that i had someone to rant to about how i finished all the way till 7 am only to have more work to be done.
haha.
and of course the seniors who laughed and joked all the way to the various places we went.


the first destination we brought the old folks to visit was the jurong frog farm.
and there were saw loads and loads of bullfrogs.
from the tadpoles to the tadpoles with legs to the bullfrogs.
they reminded me of naruto's attempts to summon the frog boss though.
haha.
and linda only seem to take note mostly of the bullfrogs mating. haha.
oops.


and some of the old folks feeding the frogs.


inside the chin chow factory.
one of the machinery packaging this chendol thing.


a closer look. didnt dare to get any closer to get aerial view.
cos the staff were there.
hehe.


the ingredient for making chin chow!
it smells just like chin chow too.
cool.


this really cute drink.
the person said that the kids will love it.
haha.
and it's really quite interesting.
it's a cup of jelly like chin chow.
yet when sucked from the straw.
it seems like a beverage.
if only i was more chilled.
hehe.


the decoration at tea chapter.
the third place we went too.
really nice decoration with all the traditional tea making utensils and chinese paintings.
and all.


a tea set!
haha.
cool.
i now know the steps to making good chinese tea ok?


again super nice decorations.
makes the ambience of the place really nice.
peaceful.
simply nice for appreciating tea.
wooooo.


the last place was tea chapter.
and so the event ended.
a group of us travelled down to ps.
and passed the level 1 which was having the cleo 2006 most eligible bachelor thing.
hah.
cool.
hunks with six pacs.
haha.


had desserts and swensens'.
had 7 people so we split into 2 groups to share.
4 of us - yonghong weiqiang linda and i
shared this topless 5.


and we also shared the banana crumble.
wooo.
this one is good.
haha.
tastes quite nice.
hot and cold at the same time.
haha.

after that went back home.
and was totally knocked out.
slept for 5.5 hours.
until mum woke me up to shower.

after that watched bleach ep 71.
and naruto ep 175.
while waiting for my hair to dry.

and then went to sleep.

today.
woke up at 8 am.
rushed to get ready.
mum brought us out for breakfast.
hehe.
how fun.
it has been years since we had a chance to eat breakfast together.
it was good that mum managed to get an off-day.

how nice to be able to have breakfast all the time together.


so for breakfast we went clementi.
and ate dim sum at the hawker.
the place was crowded but the breakfast was good.
haha.


and near where we sat was this stall.
with a super dubious price listed on its signboard.
interpret this.
"(min) 8 pcs 1 set $0.30"
1 set of 8 pcs for $0.30?
or minimum purchases of 8 pcs with 1 pc at $0.30?
or buy 8 pcs at the normal price with additional $0.30 charge?
to think the 3 of us sisters can get into a discussion over it during breakfast.
haha.
intellects.
hehe. *beems with pride*


who says we arent a family?
look at us take crap photos.
thanks to ying who started the trend.
yes and my hair is in a mess.

after that went ntuc together.
and got back home.
was transferring stuff into sis' laptop to clear up space in my poor bloated hard disk drive.
haha.

after that tried to read my textbook a little.
but end up dozing off on the floor.
haha.
crap.

woke up and ran an errand for mum.
bought myself a cute ice-cream when i was strolling back home.


had lunch at home.
which mum prepared.
nice soup.
haha.
i seriously should learn how to make soup from her.

ran back to hall. and got back here at 4 pm.
started working on the video.
which seriously took me so much time.
due to technical errors here and there also.
end up cleaning the floor.
taking a nap in-between.
haha.

it was only till 10 pm then i realised that my video was too long.
when i asked my boss about it.
he had set a 3 min cap which i didnt know of.
and my video was at 12 mins!
i totally freaked out.
and was pacnicking.
practically on the verge of tears.
was complaining to sis.
end up i got myself down to doing it.
and manged to cut all the way to 6 mins.

brought the video down for him to take a look.
and i was so happy when his comments was "fantastic" at some parts.
phew.
finally something proper.
thank goodness that i need not redo.
i'll really freak out.

end up working all the way till 2 plus.
trying to touch up a little.
and then helped in selection of songs.

came back to do more work.
and my tutorial.
now i guess i really have to go sleep.
tmr morning class.
and i'm so gonna be damn shag.

out of here.

breathing a sigh of relief.
now that things are done.

soon i'll be off all the shit.

updates

changed my blogskin.
i guess the black was darkening my mood.

here's an entry to express my thanks to those who directly and indirectly cheered me up.

thanks to mum.
who made a really lovely dinner tonight.
she ended work early.
she didnt know honestly what i sometimes face in hall.
but then again.
i always feel appreciated back home.
the little things she do to make up for the loss of time we have together.
today's dinner menu was chicken rice which she rushed back home to prepare.
so that i can eat my dinner at home before i rush back to hall to do my stuff.
i owe her so much that sometimes i wonder wat i can really do to repay her.

thanks to sis.
for the tag.
i guess yea at times i do enjoy being alone.
but i guess there are times i do hope for something to lean on.
haha. lazy me as usual i guess.
but thanks.
for the quote.
will bear that in mind.

thanks to ying.
who was willing to share her problems about school with me.
she's just as stressed.
although we are handling different things.
she had her gp paper today.
her willingness to talk to me made me feel that i'm not the only one facing troubles.
she's coping in her way.
so i guess i should too. in my own.
and i was glad that at least she is willing to share with me.
hehe. i can be dependable at times maybe? haha.
so i'm not so useless afterall.

thanks to edwin.
who most prob dont read this blog.
but well.
for sending me back home today.
had to run errands for my mum.
so i had quite a load to bring back.
the lame jokes sure help to allow temporary forgetfulness of the workload.

thanks to joel.
for the call.
sry.
i seem to make people worry a lot.
thanks for the concern.
and listening to me complain.
haha.

and thanks to chiewlin.
for helping me buy fries back.
haha. just a craving.
today i am eating crazily!

i complain that i'm alone.
but i guess i nvr really was.
it's just i dont really bother to care.
at times i'm too into myself.
only worrying wat is going to happen to me.
wat is it that i have to do and all.

time to set myself on the right track and be more positive.
induction anyone?

here are some pictures


took this when i was in town on wednesday.
been so long since i had yakitori.
so i just got one chicken stick.
then i realised that they now have this new machine that automatically dispense the right amount of rice.
now then dont have to weigh the rice on their own anymore!
cool.
the power of technology.


nonetheless. nothing beats cooking on your own!
my very own diy fondue.
did it this afternoon.
haha.
went to buy chocolate bar from ntuc.
then got one green apple.
one red apple.
and marshmellows!
haha.
super sweetness.
and i'm so proud of myself.
although it's a really simple task.
haha.
i'm so glad that it was delicious. yummy!
fun cooking.
sadly ying didnt want any when i offered her some.
haha.
next time i shall get peaches which she eats. haha.
really nice k?
i can cook. haha.

to myself

sometimes.
i guess it's hard not to feel alone.
when at times when i've got so much things loading my mind.
and yet there's just me alone.
not that there really arent people around.
it's just.
i guess it's different.
it's not that easy for those around to understand.
the way i feel.
the way i think.
how helpless i can get.

i guess i'm weak.
yet i love pretending to be strong.
stubborn.
i guess it doesnt get me far.

a whole load of burden.
that i really feel i should just let go.
yet i somehow dont want to.
contradiction.
yes again it doesnt get me anywhere.

school.
i havent been performing super duperly well.
i would hope to be some straight-a student.
yet i am not.
and i guess it's hard to be.
for me at least.

hall.
there are things i would have to give up doing.
cos the time clash.
yet it is seen as a shrinking of responsibility.
i keep saying "heck".
yet i cant shake it off.
if only i can.
deadline pushed from wednesday. to today. and then to tmr.
i guess that's the furthest it can go.
yet i am so drained.
to have to get something done.
by myself.
cos those assigned to help me arent being cooperative.
and i dont have the time.
today lesson ended late.
after that i had to get the materials.
meeting after dinner.
and i've yet got time to figure out the program that would aid me in my task.
i wonder how i can meet tmr's deadline.
reprimanded. in a way.
i guess i deserved it.
i havent been contributing much afterall.
relatively.
whatelse can i say. except i wasnt informed.
and when i am informed i am not free.
the problem with my lack of initiative? maybe.
i guess the enthusiasm is dying.
in fact maybe it never once ignited.

tuition.
wednesday. took the train down already.
only to be told that it will have to be cancelled cos the student forgot her keys.
end up getting off at town.
dropped by to say hi to mum.
walking alone in town.
wishing that i had at least had a reading material for company.
a lost wandering soul.
wasted my time.
tmr gonna have to tutor.
and get back to hall to meet the deadline.
i dont think i'll have enough time.
but well. just have to try and see what can be done.
saturday's tuition will have to be cancelled.
i keep cancelling.
even i feel bad.
when 3 things clash.
i want to die.

so many things bottled up.
sometimes i want to rant.
i want to speak up.
but well.
nothing comes out.
the problem with me.
i guess.
i never find the right words.

bloody kind soul

haha.
that sounds crude.
but yea.
i am kind ok?
haha.
i went for the blood donation drive today.
hehehe.
donated blood.
my 3rd time.
hehe.
cool right?
haha.
but today the whole thing doesnt seem to like me.

first was the nurse having the "rush-for-time" attitude.
hmm.
i wonder if it's her fault or mine.
i wasnt supposed to feel any pain for the second needle since the first was anaesthetic.
but somehow. i felt that it was painful.
could seemingly feel where the needle was going under my skin lor.
freak.
haha.

then after that was time to apply pressure on the needle wound after the whole process.
and somehow the wound doesnt seem to obey.
no matter how much pressure i apply.
also like take years to stop bleeding.
haha.
but yea it's not that bad.
the bleeding.
no worries.

then was the bandage tape.
it came off less than 5 mins after i stepped out of the blood donation place.
wah. super ma fan.
haha.

so after class i went back hall.
and tried to remove the bandage.
since it's such a mere obstruction.
then the extra piece of tape that the nurse put was so sticky.
that it stuck to my skin.
took me pains to get it out.
and my whole waterproof plaster became useless cos the stickyness made me tear the sides of the plaster too.

then at dinner.
the plaster itself could no longer hold too!
haha.
how lame.

the whole process was well.
i did a good deed.
but the trouble and all.
this time sure got bruise.
haha.

photos!


this was the gift.
haha. so cute right?
it's heart-shaped.
and it says.
are you my type?
lol


yesterday's pic.
taken with ps' phone.
her.


and her again.
haha. she commented that she looked not as refined as me.
hehe.


and one pic of me.
haha.

another monday

the start of another week.
this week is more slack i hope.
sigh.
hopefully it's a good time to catch up with work too.
still have major projects to handle.
and then exams are nearing.
how scary.
eeks.

kind of fruitful for a monday.
had classes in the morning.
but i finally manage to keep the sleepy virus out.
didnt oversleep.
in fact i woke up early.
haha.
end up being able to watch naruto ep174.
hehe.
fillers can be rather crappy.
haha.
oh well.
looking forward to bleach this week.
hehe. better be good after depriving me of last week's ep.

lunch was pasta at cant 11.
which was amazing.
the first time i knew there's pasta in school.
other than the not-so-really-varied ones at the quad.
haha.
lovely.
and it's rather tasty.
although a little salty.
haha.
still great too.
glad the people were nice enough to accomodate my craving for pasta.
and went all the way to the hall with the canteen furthest from the academic area.
hehe. thankfully, there's shuttle bus.
haha.

after that dropped by at my own room since there was time before lecture.
end up dozing off on the table.
woke up with a red patch at my left forehead.
haha. the pressure.
and yes. the sleepy virus managed to get its way.
luckily my sudden instinct woke me up in time to get ready for lecture.
hehe.

after lecture.
met ps.
and watch final destination 3!
wah.
damn action.
i think it's exciting.
but honestly.
some parts are super gory.
horrid.
[spoiler]
they smash people's heads like they smash tomatoes.
and there was no survivors.
how crap.
but i enjoyed the movie.
thrilling enough i guess.
haha.
not that i am sadistic.
but i think it was quite well done still.
sick come to think of it.
but still good.
hmmm. sounds off.
nvr mind.
haha.
i enjoyed the nachos.
we were like "hurry hurry finish it before the show start. then wont gross ourselves out."
haha.
lame.
that's wat you get when you put 2 of us together.

after that had dinner at pizza hut.
haha.
damn filling.
to think that we can still eat.
haha.
quite shaken after the movie.
but nonetheless the stomaches always call the shots.
had hawaiian pizza!
yummy.
hahahaha.

after that yonghong and linda came to pick me up from jp.
went for supper.
haha.
zhien on eating spree.
haha.
didnt eat much at the supper place la.
since i just had dinner.
hehe.
and yonghong's car is so cute.
haha.

cos it's his sis' car.
haha.
