    As random as always,
    I planned to dine out for lunch with Mulan and Zi today!
    Since Queensway Shopping Centre is really nearby, I suggested having Curry Chicken Rice!
    It is uber delicious, somehow famous I presume.
    I can simply drool by recalling the taste of it.

    The time now is 11.30, and it is pouring heavily outside!
    It was so bright and sunny in the morning!
    Why must the rain come jeopardize my plan?!
    What a spoiler.

    Karen and i went running today.
    we had a common target which made us really focused,

    that is what i like about us.

    i love the spotlights especially,
    for a short distance where my shadow is casted right in front of me.
    i know very well i will never gonna catch it,
    but the idea of chasing after it is simply amazing.
    i feel like a child, so light hearted even thought i was trying to catch my breath.

    i clocked in 18m54s for 2.4 km,
    quite amazed that i was this fast,
    since i have not been training for so long.

    for someone like me who hardly perspire,
    the sweat pours down from head to toe is so refreshing.

    Karen taught me how to do pumping, the female style too.

    she is really strong when she has asthma.
    at least she does not have dizzy spells after donating blood! (i do and it utterly embarrassing)

    we motivate each other in a way or two,
    which made the whole session a really enjoyable one.

    PS: i look forward to every Tuesday with you! (:

    My dad is on leave, so I have travel to work myself.
    The fact of waking up 5.50am is so tolerating.
    I only turned in late last night, because the quizzes on Facebook are so addictive!

    My bio clock saved my day and I wake up at 5.38am and 6.03am.
    My phone was snoozing since 5.30am and I did not hear it.
    I rushed out of home, stuffing my weekly allowances into my pocket.

    The bus stop is so far across the road, about 200 meters from my place.
    That is the disadvantage of staying next to the crossroad junction,
    All the bus stops are at least 100 meters away from you!
    while i was half-walking-half-running to the bus stop,
    a school boy paced up with me and pass me some money...

    then i realise it was my weekly allowances!
    i dropped it without realising it.
    he could have kept it to himself and teach me an awful lesson.
    i did not know there are still kind and honest Singaporeans around!


    shame on you, Ming Yi Fa Shi.
    (i am commenting based on that article on papers i read yesterday only)
    "i am a modern monk, so it is okay for me to have many credit cards even if i cannot remember how many i had..."
    Buddhist scripts never teach one to be a materialist.
    and you call yourself a monk?!
    you just disgusted me totally.

    It is running through my mind for the whole morning!
    杨佳盈 - 疼憨人


    i was so wrong to assume this good movie as yet another typical Singaporean movie!
    after failing off from the peak of her career,

    she lived in misery, pinning hard on those false hopes,
    until she sees her true self again in the mirror.
    that scene in particular imprinted deeply into my mind.
    the song fits perfectly with it.
    time surely show no mercy in her self-denial world.

    Porridge and some side dishes make a really good breakfast.
    My mood is surprisingly lifted up by the familiar good taste.
    It is a pity that I will start dieting again next week,
    Perhaps I should have a new diet plan.

    After breakfast, I took a screwdriver and start to dismantle the printer.
    It has been down for days due to paper jam.
    Life has been horrible without it!
    I cannot get my draft WIs printed, or I can meet people to vent it.
    That is like the perfect excuse to move around and talk to people.
    Living in such situation for days, I got used to staying in the office and doze off already!

    I am so proud that I managed to revive the faulty printer!
    I was so afraid of damaging it!
    A senior told me that it is worth $1000, I was like WOAH.
    Then he added that it is 4 years old already,
    So a new printer would not cost this much too.

    The sense of accomplishment is overwhelming, it really made my day.

    Should I be happpy or upset?

    I decided to put my diet plan on hold and have dinner for the week.
    So I can have dinner while watching Boys Over Flowers...

    My mother must be in a really good mood or I am too hungry,
    Everything tasted so so good to me.
    However, the sense of guilt builds up in every mouthful of food I take.

    Cravings is really driving me mad.
    No matter how hard I tried to resist, I will eventually give in.
    Food is just so irresistable.
    I missed those days where I eat for all I want,
    where food really liven up my mood.

    Food is no longer satisfying, but a mental burden.





    It has been a boring week at work.

    I read the latest ISO 9000 and QEHS Manual for so so so many times!
    It is either I doze off or nothing gets into my brain!
    How the hell am I going to convert the QM?
    Now that I have deadlines to meet!
    Never in my life have I make it before the deadline, so there is no time to waste.

    Am I really stressed up with the whole shit?
    I just keep chewing and munching nonstop.

    K2 is depressing me a lot.
    I can’t curb my cravings for staple food, like rice and potato.
    Even my supervisor thinks I have a bloated face.

    PS: Ritz Crackers coated with Cadbury Drinking Chocolate powder taste sooo good! How sinful.

    I had an extraordinary dream.
    I dreamt of Big Bang and I am one of the crew for their up and coming concert.
    The stage was so big, and dark, but they shine right in front of me.

    They were rehearsing the song “Shake it up”.
    I saw Daesung and TOP trying their best to articulate the lyrics.
    For some reasons, they sounded like French more than Korean.

    Zi shook me a few times to wake me up.
    I was totally immune to the noises outside the office.
    I woke up with a different feeling, as if I was suck back into the real world.
    I did not even remember where I was where I woke up.
    It is so weird.



    Monday, April 20, 2009

    I traded lunch time for sleep.
    I could have eaten something, but I am afraid of indigestion.

    Now, I have craving for staple food so so badly!
    I only had cheese sandwich and green apple juice for breakfast…

    Fish ball noodles, SO NICE!
    Yong Tau Foo, SO NICE!
    Curry Veggie, SO NICE!
    Battered chicken cutlet, SO NICE!
    Potato Chips, SO NICE!

    Heck the diet plan now, I am so so so darn going to have three curry puffs now!

    // edited
    What the hell?!
    All the curry puffs were sold out even before I leave the office.
    Darn it! I am so so so hungry now!

    it was a bloody hell tiring day for me.
    i intended to head home straight after work,
    but i took a chance to meet up with weina and eileen.

    it's been a long long while since we last met?
    perhaps about a month ago before my attachment,
    weina and i had dinner (her very first time trying out fish & co) and movies at AMK hub.

    no words can express how happy today!
    my dear friends are making good progress in life!

    especially when eileen and yanrong have made it to polytechnic.
    i could remember how upset they were when they received their O results,
    they certainly deserve a seat in polytechnic more than i do.
    THEY MADE IT, i am ultra happy for them lah!

    we had this terrible bet today.
    whoever gets married first among the 8 of us will pay the rest $1000.
    surely it would not be eileen or me,
    we cant see ourselves putting on a wedding gown in the near future.
    it would probably be vivien, yanrong or maybe suat teng.
    i can also visualise one on weina, she will look so darn hot.
    this will all come true if she is speaking the truth today.. HAHA, you know.. (:

    i dropped by at suat teng's blog.
    one of the most recent posts featured the concert she was recently involved in.
    she is very gorgeous and charismatic in those photos,
    very much like a new born butterfly.. awww...

    times files as people change... changes made in the good way. (:

    [written on 31 March 2009, when my modem was still down]

    The girls at our bunch in St John’s Island would be surprised to hear this.
    I was then the brave young girl,
    Fought again an army of commander ants,
    Killing every single mosquito within my reach.


    Whatever comes after this will surely disappoint you.
    I am sorry for that...

    I had a visitor at home since last night.
    It is a cockroach, but unsure of its gender.
    To know its gender is extremely important,
    Because only the females can fly,
    That very type I am afraid of.

    My brother welcomed our visitor with a scream.
    He will scream as long as he sees one,
    He made it impossible for me to ignore its existence.

    He spotted it at our living room while we were watching TV yesterday.
    I was pissed off with him exclaiming dramatically,
    Just not scary enough to disengage me from the TV show.
    Darn it, ten minutes later, he started screaming again.

    I was startled by him and started screaming with him too!
    We both screamed like two bitches in an epic movies, and it is fucking dramatic.
    I was furious, and demanded an explanation from him.
    He actually screamed because the cockroach is nowhere to be found!

    What a bloody lame reason, I seriously dont understand.
    I choose to ignore its existence as long as it is out of sight.

    Unfortunately, I was chased by it just five minutes ago.
    It was on the wall, while I was lying on my bed watching TV.
    It spread it wings and took off at full speed towards my face.
    I stood up immediately, I thought it would stop near the pillow…

    But it did not!
    Next I realize it was only one inch from my waist, instincts told me I have to run.
    Before I know, I was screaming while running out of the room, like a bimbo.

    I swear I never seen such a HUGE cockroach with its wings WIDE.
    I shall conclude that it is a female.

    If you cockroaches read English, let’s make a pact.
    I shall not hurt you as long as you do not come chasing after my back, OKAY?





    i was browsing through many profiles at facebook,
    and i found another friend of mine becoming homosexual.

    if you are to ask them why, they would probably say why not.

    i do not have anything against them.
    they have my blessings of course!
    it is just... everything on earth is so so wrong now...

    i am totally in general terms, like...
    the ozone layer becomes thinner and thinner,
    the scorching hot sun during summer,
    the freezing wind during winter,
    the number of homosexuals increasing haru haru (which also means day by day, yijie forced me to put this up HAHA)...

    arent we heading to self destruction?

    PS: it is just a random thought.

    one thing i like in a good MV is when it reflects the reality.

    a friend shared his love story with me just yesterday.
    he met his first girlfriend when they were both in secondary one.
    haha, you are so wrong to think it was only puppy love.
    they were a pair of sweet couple,
    until they broke up after 3 to 4 years of relationship.
    it was worst to know that the girl dumped him for another guy,
    who shares the same name as him, that also includes the surname too.
    he was truely, madly in love with her then,
    and took him a year to move on...
    maybe he has not completely move on.

    ella totally reminds me of him as she struggles between the past and the truth.
    weijun, this is for you.
    please do not fear new relationship.

    FYI, this song is composed by ella and written by hebe.
    ella acting skills has improved a lot.
    i cried as i tears my heart to see ella being trapped in her illusions.

    PS: she look so so hot and pretty in the gown. i wished i had her figure too. XP

    if this would to happen to any of my friend, i would...
    slap them on their face to wake them up.
    then again... i would not bare to do that.
    i will hug him/her first or cry while comforting him/her.

    Red Bull failed.
    It will never give you wings, but diabetes!

    It is so darn sweet, yet it fails to keep me awake,
    it failed to keep Rainne awake too.

    I wished I could fast forward time.
    I can’t wait for noon to come so I can have some sleep.
    I am so looking forward to 7pm to meet up with those peeps for movies.


    I am so deprived from entertainment and social life since my modem is down.



    Tuesday, April 7, 2009

    I join trail camp at school on both nights after work.
    I could had went home on the second night, but i left my sleeping bag in school.
    In a way, I do not have to carry too much things around,
    while it is the perfect excuse for me to return back to school.


    I was only involved in the animal farm and night walk.
    I am utterly surprised the SLs could recognise voices though they were blind folded.
    Perhaps there were too few girls so it was easy to tell that I was not one of them.

    The night walk ended later than expected due to some hiccups.
    It was 4.20am when I was getting ready to sleep.
    My shoulders were so stiff after sleeping on the hard cold floor.
    Luckily, I had the little bolster as pillow.
    That very one in pink Alvin gave me as my birthday gift last year.
    I can never do without it at camps or chalets!
    It could be better if the Hello Kitty face did not look that imitated.
    Now I am being so darn greedy.

    I returned back to school after work, just in time to watch the campfire performances.

    I catch up with the rest and learn new dance steps while waiting for the long debrief to end.
    It finally end when the lights suddenly shut down, it was already 10.30pm.
    We were all famished and had dinner at MCD.
    It was certainly unwise of me, but I was famished.
    I live to eat.
    Besides, nuggets are not that fattening, right?

    I had a few memorable stuff for this camp:
    - Ziyi almost tear my ear drums with her screams so high pitch
    - Heng yi was plain hilarious when he was captured as hostage and on stage! *TURKEY*
    - Britney-no-spears is so hot! His black hair so silky and he moves them, I could smell his shampoo from afar.

    I miss camps so so so much!
    I did feel out of place when i am not a helper nor an advisor but only a calafare...



    Friday, April 3, 2009

    The more I look at my tummy, the more rejected I feel.

    How the hell I could and did convince myself that a fat man is a happy man?
    How can I ever be happy when I can no longer fit into the clothes I brought within last year?

    My tummy looked so mountainous, just like Mount Everest.
    Oh no, maybe not, my assets are bigger, so that will be Mount Everest,
    While my tummy the second tallest mountain on earth!

    Then again, who knows the second tallest mountain on earth?
    I needed to get my tummy a name!

    I google it and there I found K2.
    K2 is most prominent peak of the Karakoram segment of the Himalayan range.

    I looked at Zi tummy again.
    It is flat land Singapore and she complains it is big.

    Anyway, she was laughing happily when I pat my bouncy tummy.



    Thursday, April 2, 2009

    I had an extremely peaceful day today.
    Maybe, just a little disturbed.

    As I was making my way out of lobby while bidding goodbyes.
    I saw this fellow,
    whom instead of waving back to me, he teased me.
    He placed the tip of his thumb of his right hand on his nose,
    while the rest of his fingers moving freely like waves,
    which looks something like the elephant long nose...

    and I almost bumped into the automatic sliding door!
    Of all the doors, I bump into a door that automatic opens.
    I felt darn dumb, but i laugh out loud to hide my embrassement.
    Z could not stop laughing at my stunned yet hilarous facial expressions.
    I made her day ended with a good laugh.

    I prayed only the three of us knows it.
    If anyone saw it, HAPPY APRIL FOOL TO YOU!



    Wednesday, April 1, 2009

    My modem got stuck by lighting in the thunderstorm last Sunday.

    This means that I do not have any internet access at home until my dad renew the expired contract with Singnet or apply for a new contract.

    This also means,
    NO Hotmail!
    NO Boys over Flower!
    NO Pet Society!
    NO Mafia Wars!
    NO more online shopping!

    It is worst when I did not even have access to all these at my workplace too!

    I envy Jacintha, at least she can do 100 over quizes on Facebook blogthings!

    PS: Thank GYM that I can at least blog at work... Although I have to do it secretly.
