just a quick update.

yesterday

had dinner with paternal family to celebrate ethan and grandma's birthday. kyan was there too. he warmed up to us and started disturbing us while we were having dinner. ethan was same old same old, HAHA. didnt take any photos, i dont know why. might get them from my uncle.

ethan was as usual, distracted when he's out, meaning, he more or less ignored us. kyan was funny, calling pple 'fatty', asking us for money to get drinks from the vending machine and when we said we didnt have any (money), he insisted that we did and eventually he got his dad to buy him one. oh and he ran away IMMEDIATELY after sweeping this ball off the christmas tree, damn funny. he does have this impish look with his botak head.

then it was the much anticipated cake cutting session. the kiddies were soooo excited. wildly clapping, jumping, singing blah blah. kyan was dying to blow the candles out, but since it wasnt his birthday, he didnt get the chance. so he started whining but was satisfied after his mum planted a candle on a slice of cake and repeat the clapping, jumping, singing ritual. this time, he got the blow the candle as well. ethan got his turn after that. haha.

it's funny how they looove blowing out the candles, i dont remember any kiddies or myself as a kid being as fascinated. anyhow, the dinner and cake were good and the company was perfect.

note to self: one more one more, gogogo.

Dean's List, am thankful for it.

yesterday

met wan tou at serangoon mrt station and met up with khrisha and sofi at dhoby ghaut station. took bus 16 (or was it 175) to Grand Copthorne. pretty nice place but the exihibition area's pathetic? so we stood arnd, got some name cards/brochures and stood around 'aiming' at the buffet. so i finally sank my teeth into those (fluffy and warm) croissants.

left the place and walked over to Great World City. never knew it's such a self contained place, comparable to orchard, imo. soooo, explored the place for over an hour before taking the shuttle bus to city hall and then the train to orchard to meet jacyln and miaoning.

walked arnd cos there werent any movie worth catching. met peggy and shuqin arnd 5? didnt really take notice of the time. had early dinner at the food court in taka. food's pretty good. sent mn halfway off to the mrt before walking down to PS.

walked arnd somemore and had dessert at kopitiam. crapped and laughed. well, the mass/weight on the weighing machine that i stood on was #^#%##. but i reckon the upcoming exam stress will do its job so i shant add weight issues to my worry list for now.

anyhow, it was great catching up with them all at once since we seldom meet up nowadays. i hope the next one will be say, mid dec? topone for karaoke session! haha.

p.s 2 more days to 29th!

fatface fatface

p.s i just realized my eyes CANNOT be seen in any of the photos.

p.p.s why should i even be surprised? heh

it's kinda late to exclaim but still, TGIF!

technically (very octopus-y), it's saturday now but yesterday felt kinda different. everyone in the lecture theatre seemed hyped up about one thing or another, or was it just sofi and i who felt different. haha.

soooo, lecture was over in 20mins flat meaning we had 80mins break before DAM ica. went over to hotshot to 'revise/study' for it but i wasnt. was flipping the newspapers and laughing at khrisha's bag. oh and the iced chocolate was pretty good? i dont know, since im not a fan of cafe drinks. but well, it tasted like chocolate and it's cold so thumbs up?

had the test. was alright. walked over to amk with rachel and wan tou. thank god for the decent weather. and i finally had my eyebrows trimmed. now i look 1/3 china, 1/3 fierce and 1/3 in shock. wait, does the fractions make one whole? okay, it does. the beautician told me about how the ends of my brows are droopy so it'll be easier to shape them thin so as to have the arcs. yeah, but my current brows are kinda too thin for my liking though there are arcs (!!), pretty rare for my case. okay, i need to stop this ranting.

walked arnd amk hub with rachel and wan tou after that. wan tou left shortly after while i accompanied rachel till her sister came. train-ed all the way to city hall to meet with FAMILY. i was the last, for once! haha. thought it'll be ....... cos she was supposed to finish school at 6? haha. walked over to erm, middle road area. everywhere was packed and please let me digress, but i was kinda overwhelmed by the crowd cos it's been ages since i step foot near town. SUA KU.

finally settled at this erm, smth by billy bombers at bugis junction B1. i forgot the name. half of them didnt like their food. i find their pizza pretty good. too bad it isnt a la carte. and somehow the restaurant ate our money, hahaha.

then it was for what we do best. walking aimlessly arnd. so we walked all the way to clarke quay. and there werent any purpose for walking there, just to digest i guess. camwhored along the way. yada yada. parted ways with lm and va while the rest of us took the train home. by then i was already oily like mad and urgh. it's gross, i know.

i cant believe the train was packed at 2300. oh and i missed the last bus by 6mins. andandand this lady who also missed the bus suggested sharing a cab, so we did and she offered to pay for it. i mean, im impressed.

whew, what a loooong post. kinda make up for the past week but this post only talks about ONE day. or rather half a day. i miss my life, the one where school's not a (huge) part of. (:

p.s might upload the 'floating' photos when va with the bangs sends them over. and va, i think your bangs look alright, seriously.

p.p.s one more week to the 29th!

edit

my dad's friend came over to stayover for the night cos they're going to vietnam tmr. and the son's like one head taller than me despite being a few years younger. and the last time i saw him, he was just a kid. oh how time flies. :o

rochor beancurd is the sexxx. i wish my complexion's as smooth. *sniggers*

/edit

now i know how and what is it like to feel that 24 hours is insufficient. i swear that almost half is devoted to school (urgh), the other 1/4 for misc stuff such as bathing, eating, sleeping, shitting, urinating etc and 1/4 time's for i dont know what. stoning perhaps. it seems like im always busying myself with school stuff but somehow nothing much gets done in the end.

anyhow, i will try (goddamn hard) to stay positive and pray that this sem will be over safely. whatever, im rushing for time that i dont even wanna bother with the sentence structure and phrasing.

whatever it is, fuck school, fuck the 'no own chosen project mates' shit.

it's the same old crap. shall take one day at a time till everything gets done and out of the way. sidetrack a bit, i know how we study to get ahead in life but it saddens me to see how im actually living for nothing. im not emo just feeling urghhh.

im still looking forward to the 29th though.

so school's been the sameee BUT ive finally joined the girls (and helmi) at sports and so we've been in a sporting frenzy since yesterday afternoon. and now we're all awarded with muscle aches. i like muscle aches, i dont know why.

so we played basketball/captain's ball/soccer yesterday using yen zhen's volleyball. lol. but they did play volleyball when shereen and shu huei came and joined us. oh and before that we played at the kiddies playground located near the sports hall. and oogled at the childcare kids on the way back home. spotted some cute ones and some funny scenes. i guess i should smack myself but not putting early childhood first. not that it'd be easier but i guess it'll be way better than what im doing now. for me, that is. (other pple's) kids make me happy. :D

for today, we played badminton before and after school. hardcore can. but i sucked at it, no idea why.

anyhow, no school again next friday.

p.s i cant wait to be free again

im really really really (times infinity) tempted to put everything down/off and go travel on my own. i guess the destination(s) doesnt matter, i just want to live, experience life yada yada. and i guess i'll learn more if im out there on my own, either that or i'll get killed. haha

and all im lacking is, courage.

p.s oh and the new windows live layout is cool.

p.p.s Obama won! yeah, so what? im not into politics but what with the hoo-haa going on, cant help feeling hyped up as well.

p.p.p.s Sarah Palin's kinda bimbotic, isnt she?

Happiness, it seems to me, consists of two things: first, in being where you belong, and second -- and best -- in comfortably going through everyday life, that is, having had a good night's sleep and not being hurt by new shoes.

the channel 8, 8pm show never fails to make me tear. it's funny, heartwarming, sad all rolled into one. and for that one hour, i feel really fortunate/lucky. my house is prim and proper (all thanks to my mum), we're all doing okay yada yada.

it's sickening how we'll only feel fortunate/lucky when we see some other pple who're like way worse off than us. it's like, making merry out of their misfortunes. i really really need to adjust my mindset and also gossip lesser. speaking of that, i wonder why (insert question). i cant seem to phrase it properly. oh well. the bottom line is, what goes around comes around. (look what happened to my poor complexion)

yesyes, i will try very very very hard to stop fretting over it and let nature take its course AND in the mean time, try to accumulate some good karma. hah

the past weekend should have been a blast. note: should have been. we only had to go to school on tuesday and thursday, cos monday's PH and friday's some graduation thingy. speaking of which, i cant friggin wait for mine. i shall contemplate what i shall do for a living then.

nothing interesting happened except that i got an email, the content goes like this,

"helo..care 2 chat mah..care 2 intro mah ?"

i have nothing, absolutely nothing against making friends. haha. it's just that the above sentence could be better phrased. in fact, i should be happy that someone wants to befriend me, despite my rotting-face condition. maybe it's time i upload a more recent photo. :x

and no, i shall not go into the pimple talks cos there isnt any point. but why dont they grow on my (ass) cheeks instead of my (face) cheeks? sickening.

anyhow, school's been demanding and i guess it will stay that way till end feb. BOO.

meanwhile, im staying positive (:
