Which Lord of the Rings character and personality problem are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

Happy new year eve all... Actually I don't really feel excited. In fact, I feel totally numb. Gosh, I am going to be 20 years old. Arghhh!!! I am getting old. Must be the twenties crises whereby you find life meaningless. New year spells for new aspirations. This year I have very unique ones, totally different from what I had a year ago. So much had happened in the year of 2003. My pain, my badly scarred heart, my friends misery, losing, parting... Actually, I couldn't wait for 2003 to be over. It had been such a bad bad year. Many of us suffered from problems in relationships, in decision makings, in kinship... May all the bad things turned into blessing in disguise in 2004. I believe that after you have been through the worst, there can't be any trouble that you cannot sove. When you reached the pit, the only direction you can move is to go UP. Oh, yes, my new year aspirations.

#1) I wish for peace.
This is a simple wish but it stands for many wishes. Peace for family, friends, world,studies, world, for anyone and everyone who suffers in one way or another.

#2) I wish for happiness.
This is the most important wish. Having happiness means having all. It surpasses the attraction of money, of love, of longevity...etc. All you need to do is to stay satisfied with whatever you have, to count your blessings, to cherish what you have. You don't need to gain new things, just appreciate what you are given and you have it all.

#3) I wish for truthfulness.
Nothing beats the nature. We are not born to deceive, to lie, to hide. I wish for the truth in people's words and actions. Perhaps it's unattainable, nevertheless it's a wish that I hope would be fufilled. Not even Maskenfreheit...

I wish for family and friends to attain this 3 aspirations of mine. Keep life simple, enjoy the simplicity... life is actually simple but it is us human being that makes life difficult. Signing off with my favourite:

"Life is unfair. But life is unfair for everyone. That is wht that makes life fair."

Had a blue Christmas... a horrible boxing day... Felt like boxing her. Didn't even blog. Lost my handphone too. The dark patch of life is coming back again. It came back just when I told Leiming that I disagree with him that we live in the world just so to "hang in there". I think the more we fear for a thing to happen, the more likely it is for it to happen. It's the same logic as not wanting to meet an ex at a party, anticipating the worse and finding him there with a new girl the momment you stepped into the ballroom. It is also similar to trying hard not to stain your favourite dress and finally staining it in the middle of a perfect date. This is what I read in a book called BEING HAPPY. ( I thought that it would be another one of those "self-help book for the depressed and helpless" but after a while I realised that I was wrong. The following shows only some of the sentences that I thought it's worth some thought)

"We dealt so much on the fears that we have attracted what we have been avoiding."
== Even if we say in our mind," I don't want 'A' to happen, we will gravitate toward 'A". Our mind cannot move away from anything, only toward something.
"Successful people move toward success. Failures try to run away from failures.
==If there is one mental principle which can transforn losers to achievers, it is the 'concentrate on what you want' principle.
(Right, below is the convincing part. Read on...)

"It is laughable to so into a store and say to the assisstant," I don't want milk, I don't want bread. I don't want cheese," and expect to return home satisfied. Yet most people stagger through life bemoaning hopeless situations. (that's me, though I thought I could make use of reverse psychology) We must focus on what we want.
(the next theory is even more fascinating. We have to agree... Read on...)

"Another impressing principle is that often, when we finally develop the courage to meet a problem head on, the problem disappears and we don't have to face it." That is when we decides to face a fear, the fear evaporates. (I raised both hands to agree. Totally agree...)

Actually there are more theories and I thought they are good. Let's have positive thoughts. Don't say try because our mind will really try. Say. I will be positve. Perhaps we would have a better life. No, not 'perhaps', we WILL have a great life. Motivated? Hope it helps, no, not hope... I think... no, keep it accurate and simple. It WILL work. =) I can do with or without my 6610. 3310is fine. I am independant. I don't rely on anyone. True friends are bonus blessings... Great friends pull me through...

Went to watch Brother Bear yesterday. It was a great movie, wonder why it is so low profile. definitely touching. Flo, don't think I never see you crying, though you have already been pretty discreet. =P Had a great time shopping, chatting, laughing and taking loads of neoprints!!!I was kinda dreading the orientation. Glad that it is finally over...

Had my orientation today... Those people can make friends real fast! But it was expressed without words that they only wish to be a HI-BYE friend. Suits me. I have already had my own bunch of very nice friends. They called us freshies. Such an awful address. SIM seriously has a major problem in naming people and groups! Remember how I complained about the name Brother Bear? i was very much consoled and amused when I heard other group names like SANTA CLAUS, GREASE, and FINDING NEMO. Wanted to bang the lecture table and howl but had to upkeep my image. the orientation was soooo boring. The people have very weird sense of fashion. There is a Thai in my og. He did his hair in such a way that there was no way to descibe it accurately. All I can say is that he is extremely entertaining.. and RICH cos he spent $400 on that hair. Not baht. It's Sing dollars!!! Wee, you can do rebonding twice. that guy is loaded, well-spoken, not ugly and friendly. If not for the hair... I would have gotten his number! Jeez!
Check out the hair. it's impossible to miss it. Really, I am about to think that he is the only one with it in Singapore. Muhahaha!!! thank God Florence or Bey wasn't there, if not I would have died of laughing. Everywhere I go, as long as it's not an air conditioned place, there would be smokers lining the corridoor. Males and females, even my ogl. If there really is a campaign to stop smokers, Jacq cordially invites them to SIM.

Now... talking about the less amusing part of the orientation. Halfway through the games, the tutor I introduced to JGL called. She told me that she had enough of the mother and that she is not going to take her up. She has not even go to a SINGLE lesson yet! And I thought my tolerance level was low. Guess what, JGL not only refused to pay her more money, she even demanded the new tuition teacher to bring Zhi Ying to the library! Oh man... i thought I have already escaped, but no, I am 100% positive that she will call me AGAIN tonight and make me find her more tutors. Shucks.. and I thought I have already escaped... Freako. Think I betta catch a nap just in case I snapped at her.

How naked would Orli (Orlando Bloom) get for you?

Look girls, who is here top
The call still continues... She woke me up at 7.30 this morning. For the first time I slept past 7.30 and for the first time I could sleep well... then she called and spoils everything. perhaps I don't need to find a new alarm clock anymore. She called me before I dozed off for my nap yesterday and in the evening when I was having my dinner. Then she called me this morning. I was too tired to attend to her politely. When she asked me who should she choose, I just told her Ihave no idea. That pissed her and she cupped the phone without saying bye. Suits me...

Heard that Zhi Ying was quite upset. She has only me by her side. Such a brother and a mother... She would have quite a bad life for the rest of her teenage years if she does not manage to get into university. Hope her mother will be easy on her. I really feel bad for desserting her, Yes, her mum is successful in convincing me that I desserted her daughter. I don't deny my faults. But our definition of 'desserting' is totally different. Thanks girls. for all the very supportive words! But Jac is still

Nothing, absolutely nothing can describe how I feel. I am just so fed-up. Yesterday when JGL called to change the tuition time, I just got pissed. I was so pissed that I told her that I will find her another tutor. Just as I expected, she pleaded and nagged and tried to stste out all the reasons but I was really too pissed to listen. I don't wish to have any pressure, external pressure when I start school. Just as expected, she started to raise her voice claiming that I sacrify her daughter because I was busy and if I should give up I should drop others and all the bull-shits. She accused me of getting her daughter into trouble because her daughter NEEDS ME SO DAMN MUCH and many other crap. I was so polite. i offered to find her a tuition teacher and she listed the following conditions:

a) Must not be working otherwise she will be like you like that, no time for my daughter.
b) Must be university graduate.
c) Must be attentive and detailed.
d) Must live in CCK.

Please Auntie, just f-off. Did I even sign a contract with you such that I have to find a perfect tutor for your daughter? Instead of worrying so much why don't you just find a new mother for you daughter? Please go for medical check-up and don't pass your diesease to poor ZiYing cos she doesn't deserve it. If you were me, how would you feel. After putting down the phome she called me 4 more times and asked me why no tutor called her after so long. She called at every 15mins interval. If God has eyes, please help me to deal with her. She has drained all my energy, my vitality, my glow... Just get her away from me... far far away. Now I don't even dare to go to Lot 1. She called and spoke in such cold and menacing voice. I really don't need foes. She said that if I did not get her a tutor I would have to tuition her kid on Monday. i really don't wish to see her anymore and I would prepare myself just in case she rushed half-way during the tuition and attack me with her chopper. Whatever it is, I just don't wish to see her again. She makes me feel like it's my fault... The thought of her seriousy send shivers down my spine. Literally send shivers down. Whenever the phone rings I will freeze in whatever I am doing. This is worse than THE RING. the newage Sadako that ties her hair in two with two big clips and a polka dot nightgown. Everytime I see her she dresses liddat... It's a bit cold... Could she really be a....peeping at my blog behind me holding a chpper.....Ahhhhhhh!!!!

You are neither one. And, probably, the healthiest
of the three types. You know when to be happy
and see the good things, but you also know when
to be serious, so you're very much well rounded
and probably well liked for just that reason.
You are dependable because you know when to be
optimistic yet serious, but you still know how
to have fun and are a sociable person that is
nice to be around. If you can keep this balance
going, you'll go very far, I'm sure.


Are you an optimist or a pessimist?
brought to you by Quizilla

I have always thought that I am a pessimist... so I am not.. Wonder why my body hurts like crazy. Could be the Yoga yesterday but I normally don't feel the pain... Perhaps I did not sleep well. My silly finger still hurts.
Yesterday the OGL for my group called, Sounded kind of friendly. Hope things will be fine and meanwhile I shall follow Carina's advice and not worry myself too much. My orientation group is actually called Brother Bear. Will we have fun???
Have been so long since I last heard from Win. Seemed like she is lost in the world of fun while I am stuck in heaps of undone tasks. I am very sure she sleeps all day cos of all those night activities. Broke eh? At least it's worth it... =)
Life is soooo downright boring... There is nothing I can do. BORED! It doesn't help with a silly injured finger. signing off...

Yoga today... In a few weeks time when school re-opens I will not get to learn Yoga anymore... =( That's so sad cos I really enjoy my Yoga lesson. This morning, as I was going out for Yoga lesson, I got injured. The triangular thing that goes in and out when we push the handle slid into my flesh. Gosh! there were so much blood flowing out that it trickled down my hand. I didn't even feel the pain, just a prickling sensation. The blood couldn't stop flowing and I stained the whole piece of tissue paper. I cleaned it up and rushed down for my Yoga lesson as i was running late. The blood stopped eventually.

After Yoga lesson, I went to a private apartment to highlight my hair. Actually I thought of doing rebonding but was afraid that it would suck so I chose highlighting instead. It was good, the hairdresser was very proffessional. She trim it very attentively, so attentively that I wanted to ask her to go easy and double up her speed. She highlighted it and I have to wait and wait and wait and wait. I almost asked her to take it off cos my butt hurt sooooo much from all the sitting. Then she washed and massage and blow and trim and blow and blow... There were so many proccess that I got a bit impatient. Wonder where she got her patience from.. But its worth the wait. She takes her job seriously and is very proffessional. My guess is that she used to work either under Jean Yip or Kimage as her style is very close to theirs. Can hear that she is a Malaysian. Very cheap, trimming only cost $6 and $4 for students. I spent $50 on highlighting and trimming. Guess I will be buying this ionic hair straightener I saw in Cleo, Otherwise I will opt for the VS straightener. Like that not only will I get to choose when to have straight hair, I need not worry about having those kind of arrow-straight hair. Alternatively, I can go to Jantzen or the hairdresser in Fajar where Jia en did her natural rebonding. Hmmm.. but not so fast. I don't want the rebonding to spoil my hair colour now. Anyway,on my way home I felt the prickling sensation on my finger and was shocked to see lots of blood oozing out. It's like tap water. I think I cut one of my artery cos when I hurt my hand, the cursed metal slid inside my flesh quite deep. Poor finger.. Have a feeling that after finishing this blog, it will bleed again..

Would be meeting up with the SJAB gang soon. This time more ppl and hopefully more fun. So tired of sitting after all the hassel. Can't stand another momment sitting. Going out later to look for some respectable school clothes. Not like dressing matters in SIM since the last time I went I saw this lady in hot shorts and guy in slippers... My finger hurts. Ending here.

I have been feeling real moody these days. I am sure the "moodiness" rose from my multiple emotions.. There are times I feel so confident of myself cos I am used to successes, there are times whereby this same confidence plunges to knee deep because the reminder of past failures. The pain is no longer excruciating, but it left a deep and ugly scar running across my heart. My heart is crossed out, it says"No Entry" and I feel that I would never get back what I have lost. Nothing would ever win my heart, my faith... I had wanted so badly to start afresh, to fight again but it is reallt difficult to put the past behind. No words can capture exactly how I feel. This complexity is beyond the descriptions of words... It doesn't affect me cos I know I am strong enough to survive. Some people say that by not thinking of a certain problem, it is a form of escapism. If escaping makes you feel better, why not? Read the Cleo for January and find the horoscope kind of accurate. My horoscope for january says:

ARIES

Money: Your competitve nature has driven you to a position that will bring more cash but now, slowing down to check out detail will take you to greater heights and save you from unseen hassels.

Body: If your drive and focus to stay in shape starts to slip, getting mad with yourself won't help! Find the energy to keep going or give yourself some time off.

Soul: This is your chance to shine so don't let past stuff-ups or dramas hold you back. Believe in yourself and go create the life you want --- its within your reach!


Sort of like the one for soul. It gives me some positive vibes. BUT right now, I am late for tuition with JGL daughter. Speaking of which, I feel extremely guilty for bitching on her that way though i still feel that she deserves it. I shall open one eye and close the other. For the sake of my school textbooks and othe expenditure... You can do it, Jacq!

31 TO 40 POINTS: 37

Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest... Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.



They are hell right when they said:"Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily"... the orientation is round the corner and I can't believe that I am allowing myself to get stressed over such peanuts. Had my first tuition with Zhi Ying today. She is really a great girl, hardworking, friendly, obedient.. and she always tries her best in whatever she does. But WHY? Why is such a sweet, young, innocent thing cursed with that kind of mother? Deepest sympathy and regrets.
Yesterday I was outside and Zhi Ying called me. She reminded me of her tuition today and I reminded her the $$$ JGL owe me cos of the two lessons. After less than 5s, JGL called and said, "WHAT? WHAT YOU TELL ZHIYING?!" I repeated everything I said and she said," AIYOH JACQUINN, DON'T BE SO AFRAID. WHAT I OWE I WILL RETURN." I was sooooooo damn pissed. HELLO JGL AUNTIEEE, I hate it when people put up an act. It is downright cheap and hypocritical. What more you lack the look to be an actress OK? Just bug off, I will do my job and you will pay me. Other than that, my school timetable is none of your Farking business. If you are too free, you can go and wash your toilet bowl and look at yourself at the same time. It's REFLECTION time and if you can't find your reflection, that's ok cos ghosts do not have reflection or shadows. If you continue treating your daughter like a prisoner and brainwashing her that she will die without my lessons and she will score bad grades, then you go and die first ok?!!! WHewwwWWwww... feeling better now. It always feels great to lash it out. Jacq is not always that kind, that bearing, that soft-hearted and that easily to step over ok... Pissed and steaming mad. JGL AUNTIEEEE, listen here, you are so damn cool cos nobody makes Jacq that fuming mad. Not even when she fell down and coloured her knees blue-black when she dances secretly across her room... One more time... Just one more time and that's it ok?!? Don't mess with the best... If it had been Yilin, or Florence or Siyun, you would have died instantly. I am better, I allow you to count your remaining days so that you will be mentally prepared. Watch you steps...AUNTIEEEEEE

What's up with the weather??? Stuffy one momment, freezing cold then extremely humid... Got me extremely bad-tempered. I have to scold somebody, the need to swear, curse and bitch is far too strong for me to ignore... Therefore I shall vent the frustration in Winnie's tag. All the anxiety of starting school, the fear of changes: new friends, new environment, new books... they just got me sooooo riled up. The thought of giving tuition lessons to JGL's daughter made me even more mad. MAD: angry and crazy. If she reads my blog: Listen here, OWE $$$ Pay $$$... Or I will hang your head in front of the door... or burn your flat down... *Jacq mutters a line of colourful language* Betta not touch on her anymore. Otherwise I will stop blogging.

Went to the funfair at Lot 1 yesterday. Nice T-shirts... reallt very nice T-shirts. Guys and Gals.. check it out. T-shirts for the price of $4.90. Nobody will know its from a pasar malam. Only those who read my blog will know... And they do sell lots of handphone casing. There are quite a lot of thrilling games. Win. if you dare to play with the very very very tall tower, then the reverse bungee shouldn't be a problem. Hur Hur~ So everybody, check it out k? Its so hot and I feel like napping again. Feel like I am behaving like a feline nowadays. Crazing for fishes and taking my naps stretching like a lazy cat. Pretty disgusted by myself too... Yawnz... signing off so that I will have enough energy for Yiting. She simply drains me out. Xin ni is coming over to stay overnight for a whole week. Don't know why, have been dreaming of Xin Ying lately. I miss her so so much. If she is here now, we would have a great time... just like Carina and Winnie. you will stay in my heart forever and ever... until the angels come for me.

Man.. what great weather to stay in bed.. why in the world did I wake up so early??? Nothing new to some. I am an Early BIRD. My whole body is aching from yoga man. Foe the first time it hurts. Aiyoh.. But Yoga is definitely good. It shapes your body.

Went with Ru to Yuki Yaki at cine on Wednesday and took neoprints. Haha.. Ru was so blur and gancheong cos the machine take shots from 3 different angles and we have to stand, squat, kneel, dodge.. we ended up sweating like crazy. Then I went to by my dream bag. Have been dreaming of it for monthes. Now that I have gotten it, don't really like it that much anymore. That's me again.. Luckily I have no interest in anyone.. otherwise I would have burnt my own fingers...

Thursday: went to swim at Bey's place. Too bad Win coul dn't join us cos 1) she has to work 2) She is not well.. We crapped a lot, chatted, talked, fed her with gossips...erm I mean information on the happenings when she wasn't around.. Great time. Then we went to the suana. Cool... Talked about Jingdong, his wedding, the past... in a way it sort of makes me feel better cos letting go of something negative is always better than keeping it close to your chest. Then, she went to Westmall to meet her friend, I went to get my lunch.. The day ended with me cancelling my tuition cos the rain was soooo heavy that it was impossible to step out of my house. It was freezing cold so.. NO, I WASN"T LAZY..Haha.. yah, I was actually a little restless.. Restless, not lazy. Hurhur..

Friday: Tidy all day... so sad though most of the work was done by MUM. Eversince Lester and Lisa are gone, she just tidy, tidy and tidy. And I have to help her if I wanna be free from all those nagging. found a lot of old photos.. photos when I was a kid.. so I posted it in Friendsters. Nowadays so free... but come this Tuesday and I would be giving tuitions to the jian gui le mother and daughter... freak. Think I will give her up cos she is soooooo pestering. Sge actually called to say:" Hello, jacqueline ah, I bought an assessment Maths one. It is new syllabus mathematics. Ok? bye Bye." and hung up the phone. HELLO!!! PLEASE!!! DON"T DO THIS KIND OF THING TO ME CAN OR NOT !!!!????? Whew.. Jang-na-ra look. Seriously, talking about them i wanna commit suicide.. Fine. No mood to write anymore. Signing off here

I found this in an email from a friend and I sort of think it is interesting.. Here it goes..
BEING TWENTY-SOMETHING

They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.

Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.

You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

Nice, you feel it??? Is this even pessimism??? ...

After so many years of isolation, I have finally found back the initial interest I had for SJAB. Perhaps I am much more mature now, perhaps things are much more clearer to me. The fact that many of us drifted away was simply due to the extremely rigid rules that we have to bear. When we are more "on" than usual, they would suspect that we wish to take over. Many a times, they failed to understand that what really made us head over heels was the friendship that bonded us together. Even when we had Games day or campfire, we were the ones who made ourselves enjoy. They had Games Day because they wanted to seem democratic. It is no wonder that there were so many talks and excitment with topics on NCO courses and National Day rehersal and no one loved talking about water parade or the dunearn camp.There were many times (much as I hate to admit) I admired other corps. Their lives seemed so much happier. The way they speak to officers, the way they respond to challenges, so so so carefree. We, Dunearn corp, we have to do everything with respect and integrity. Not that it doing those stuff were bad, but we simply cannot enjoy much. Every momment, every second you have to watch your words and actions. If you are careless just for a second, that's it. You will get shouted at before you know what you had done was wrong. Like how they unknowingly..hahaha.. danced in front of a car while looking at their own reflection..haha.. They were not even dancing except for Cat, they were just shaking their butts and amused by the short, bulky reflection they see in the car(Could imagine how bored our lives were). Just that, that alone resulted in us getting shouted, leaving us with no integrity. But still, we were so foolishly loyal... We did not bear any grudges even though we were often accused to. There were so many times I wished to break the rules, change it to a more flexible one... and there were so many times I got disappointed by those above. Our batch was one of the most impressing ones. Guess they feel threatened. But it was the turning point in DSS sjab. We were hurt by the goodwills we bore for Sjab.. to the extent that all wishes to be attached to Dunearn after we attended OCS were vanished. The need, the desire to face more challenges were gone. Nobody from our batch ever attended it. There were so many unfufiled hopes, wishes and dreams... they all went down with the friendship we had with some of the seniors and sometimes it pains me, it still does, to know that what used to build up a circle with strong relationships ended up with the chain broken and rusty.
Thank God, for many of the friends in SJAB who have polished and tightened the nuts of the chain. They brought joy, and sweet sweet memories that WE created ourselves. If there is anything that the organisation had helped, it is, to us with hurtful experiences so that we all could heal together. They hammered the chain and we saw how strong it holds despite the scratches and chips. It was the right choice in not taking officer course. By not doing so, our memories would stay caught forever in the time whereby we shared the bitter-sweet memories, the laughter, the tears, the complaints...and the food in Westmall foodcourt... If I have ever fallen out of love, it must be with SjAB.

Ahhhh... I saw Sir Qing hua in friendsters!!! Hahaha!!! Ahhhh... this is sooo coool... going crazy..crazy.. someone, please call the asylum. I will do my marching and canoeing there. Hahah.. kk, jac, geta grip. Actually not really that excited.. just wanted to create atmosphere. What? You don't believe??? Fine then. (0_o")
Cretaed a friendsters account for Sjab-dss. Yanlin! Maybe you can find Sir Fred and there ya? I have always though you bf, (if I recognised correctly) looks a bit like Sir Fred. And Sir Fred is a little like the nie Yuan guy. But so far I have not seen him, saw only Sir samuel, Sir Qinghua =P and those new ones..
Supposed to talk about my weekend, dunnoe how I drift away from my topic.. Yes, last Friday, I went down Westmall and got Ken a handphone. Not like mine, just a 2100. Remember: I Pay. He was in school for badminton camp, so he doesn't know. When he got back, he took a eight-and-a half hour nap. Pig. Didn't even get the chance to show him his present. But his eyes really shone despite his fatigue. Sometimes I think he is like the tai lang in the ping2 qiong2 fu4 gui4 gong1 zi. Loves cheap deals, free stuff, loads of food, bargains... To think I am his sister...
Saturday:Right, Saturday was even more boring than ever. There was absolutely nothing to do! I spent my Sat watching television programmes, washing and scrubbing the floor, tidying the whole place... Had to imagine that I am the ill-fated Cinderella. Otherwise I don't think I can manage to finish all those boring chores. A little imagination always works.. When evening came, there were MORE shows. I am totally addicted to TV. Feeling more and more like Paul Chow. Yes, Mr Chow, I can finally see from your perspective! There were Fear Factor that was totally gross. The competitors had to plunge their head into a pool of cow's blood and using their mouth, they had to take small loops out of the tank. Their bodies were so bloody, they spitted blood, breathed blood, saw blood... Ewww...although I ate my dinner while watching. Nothing ever spoils my appetite! Then, there was Qi1 Jie3 Mei4, Sea Games live(swimming), Miss World, I love Patzzi... Nice! Thought my brain was far too active.. therefore the weird dreams. Dreamt that I was on the way to gym then this ex JJcian came and told me to walk with him to the gym. So damn weird. He is my mum's friend son. Older than me. Looks super unfriendly most of the time. I always 'siam' when I see him. Hahaha.. but I can't siam in my dreams..
Sunday: Went tuition early in the morning. But I went down to the market and guess who I saw? The ex JJcian that looks very fierce. The one I dreamt the night before. Gosh, he freaked me out though I don't understand why. I was about to siam then he saw me. And because he saw me from his sideview, he looked as if he diao me. Ahhh.. legs almost turned into jelly. I am seldom afraid of anyone. Don't understand why!!! Maybe he looks like a cat, or maybe in the previous life I ditched him, or maybe three life cycles ago I banished him out of my land.. now its pay back time.. Nvm about that.
Gotta help Mum tidy again. Now that Lester and Lisa are not with us anymore, Mum is so fussy with the cleaning up. Bey, guess I am beginning to get how you feel. Tidy Tidy... Lester, Lisa...esp Lester: Da Jie Jie misses you soooooooooo much. For many reasons...

"The good thing is we scored from several players. If I were a Singaporean, I will not put a man on Akmal alone. We proved that we can score with our defenders, midfielders and strikers"---Malaysia coach Allan Harris

What the heck! Singapore's soccer team lost to Malaysia again, this time in Sea Games! The first half was promising though we did not manage to score any goals. We were so close to scoring mutiple times but somehow lady luck or the Allah (since almost all players are Malay) were not smiling on us. It had been so long since we last kicked their ass. Guess that is how their confidence and arrogance grew. Seriously, Malaysia has real Bad attitude. I am not only referring to their soccer, but the water issue that cannot be compromised, the insults we have to put up, and the front they put up! *Jang na ra look*
I am not writing cos we lost to them in soccer, not writing as a bad loser, neither as a patriotic Singaporean. Writing from past experiences in Malaysia, writing from what I have witnessed with my very eyes.. It is rumoured that there would be bombing in Orchard Rd and Genting.. erm..my trip to Genting... Maybe we should take up Dad's idea and spend few days in Sentosa's hotel. But Sentosa... such a wonderful + fun day... with Dad who prefers to read in bed, Mum who is afraid of sunshine... ...

See what Care Bear you are.

Yoooohooo! What a great day yesterday! Great Food, Great ambience, Great Friends and Great Fun! Never fail to play my hearts out whenever I am with a whole bunch of people. I love CROWDS! Had a fun day in Seoul garden with Bey, Wee, Flo, Lin and Xu shan. We pig like we have not eaten for a week. Wee and I were the very first to wave the surrender flag. Guess Wee still has a lot more to learn when it comes to cooking and eating. I have to remind her constantly that her food had been on the grill for very long and THEN will she acknowledge it sheepishly.Talking of which, should have seen how Yilin devoured those scoops and scoops of ice-cream. Was it 4 scoops or 5?!?! And Xu shan's pile of untouched seafood.. Flo was staedy. She placed all the 100% concentration on cooking and eating and we didn't even notice her presence until Yilin caught her eating chicken drumlets with a pair of wooden chopsticks! Should have taken a shot of that!
When we were about to leave, we took loads of shots. Mostly candid: Flo opening her mouth with a moronic half opened eyes, Lin scarping the grill with an auntie-like move and revealing low cut blouse, Wee's super bored + filled to the brim look and the highlight of the day: Xu shan's formal photo with half of Bey's head that Lin managed to push into the corner of the photo. We walked and snap along the way back. The Christmas trees, the poor Taka palace-like structure that went lights-out most probably due to our continuous snaps, the intimate foreign couple across the road, angels, lightings, and a weirdo with lotsa lightbulbs in his face, Flo's butt, Wee's single eye...
It was quite an evening. Made me forget about the rude person who dropped her 7250 and the queue snatcher we met in Giordano or even the good-looking but lousy attitude guy who leaned on the pole, Wee met on train... Made me, for a momment, forget about the jian-gui-le mother...
Girls+Xu shan, prepare for the KTV session.. Let's see when.. before I go overseas.. Btw, the trip to Thailand is cancelled cos the tickets are hard to get. We would be going to Genting. At least we are going by plane. Hope Uncle won't ask us let Taison tag along cos I rather die.. Dear friends, you will still get your tokens... as long as you get me out before I leave. KTV k? and Mambo if I can make it that day.

"Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick once and you suck forever."

Had a great weekend! Friday: Yoga lesson in the morning followed by gym and shopping spree with Flo. No tuitions on Friday and therefore got the chance to watch the last episode of Holland V.
Sat: Managed to tidy my room, watched lotsa tele and had a great badminton session with the bunch of councellors. Great workout. We played badminton for more than 2 hours. Cool huh.. After the game, Lindy and Cheryl came over to bathe. After which, together with Huimin and Cheryl, we chilled out in the Mac chatting 'bout the different sauces in the Mac. (so much to chat about!) I went home straight after that cos I promised greedy Ken a Mc Pepper. Happy and refreshed from sports!
Sun: went down to Holland V to visit gamps. We played Badminton outside gramp's place. Saw so many doggies. So handsome. The same goes for their owners. Ooops! ;P Got grandmum an intricate gold earring with jades (beautiful green) and diamonds (size of a sesame!) encased. No choice, a sesame diamond is all I can afford now. Yah, kind of Pathetic but it was indeed heartwarming to see grandmum's face beaming. She put them on almost immediately. I knew it, she will show the rest at the senior citizen's club. Hahaha.. my grandma is just soooo cute. Yesterday when we were discussing about the ending of Holland V, she said:" Aiyah, cannot understand leh, you know she chooses the doctor or the (hokkien): gor4 lang3 wan3 ah1 gua1, Gou xiong or not?" She made a muddle calling Yang xiong, Gou xiong and we all stared at her, stumped. My ah ma is sooo original. And when she starts laughing she cannot stop. Often made me laugh to tears for no apparent reason. kk.. Then Ken and I went to Holland V. Right beside was this flea market thingy and there were so many nice earrings and bracelets. Sooooo cheap. Too bad I only brought my atm card. Don't really know if it was a blessing or a curse. We walked into Watson and Ken bought some hair styling stuff again. He already had dozens back home. I pay. Then, we walked into Sanwin shop and there, that's it. I sort of lost control when I saw the flat, rubbery frisbee and boomerang. And Ken bought a badminton grip. I pay. We went back home with a honey glazed chicken, the spots stuff, hair styling stuff. I pay...
