A brand new year, a brand new start. 2012, here we come.

Looking back at 2011, I began to recall the various new experiences, challenges, and lessons that I had learn. 2011, I officially cleared all my accounting modules. School life has been as stressful and hectic as usual but we all do grow through such experiences don't we. I was glad to also be given the opportunity to be one of the student interviewers for the SOA admission interviews. As an interviewer, I got to observe interviews from a different perspective and pick up tips on how I should perform as an interviewee myself.

During the summer break, I started working at The Reckless Shop. There were many nitty gritty items that we need to remember to do and it can get a bit stressful at times. Through serving customers, I have found myself to be able to speak up more and interact with strangers. Apart from work, I was also granted a chance to attend a scholarship interview. Although grueling, I survived. Special thanks to Yuting and May May who were always there to cheer me up and support me. Thanks for the faith that you girls have in me, all the time. Year 4 semester 1 was even more hectic. The two killer modules have indeed killed but I am glad to have cleared them. *whoots*.

2011 was also the year of weddings. 3 couples from my extended family got married and it was definitely a joy to attend them and share their love.

2012, a year of excitement, beginning of the next phases of our lives, and new experiences. There are many resolutions that I have set for myself and I do hope that I would be able to constantly remind myself to achieve them with silly :)

31 Days of December

Year 4 Semester 1 has officially ended. An absolutely tough semester that was definitely draining due to the two advanced accounting modules. Thank God, I got through them and I have officially cleared all my accounting core modules. This semester has been crazy and I am thankful for the support that my friends have showed me and thankful for my boy who has never failed to be there.

After my last paper, I headed down to Sushi Tei with 38 gang and spent the whole day out. Haircut and crabs for dinner were lined-up after that before heading home for a true blue good night rest. I managed to spend the next two days with Silly without having to do any work before resuming work on Monday in a familiar place. The first few days of December was spent preparing for interviews and I am glad I survived through them and they were definitely meaningful experiences where I have picked up several learning points. I guess it is now for me to think about where I really want to head to and which place is a better fit for me.

Attended Derrence and Grace's wedding dinner today and it is the fourth and last wedding event in my family for this year. I was pretty impressed by some of the live band performance. Wanted to request for songs to be sung but the singer seemed to be able to read my mind and sang them all before I even did that. Through the numerous weddings that I have attended, I must really say that today's wedding did start me thinking about several things. Being able to meet the one and be there to love and support one another through both good times and bad times is no easy feat. It takes alot of faith, trust, courage, and mutual respect to bring a couple through a lifetime. Thinking about that makes me really guilty for the times where I was unreasonable and flared up at Silly. I should really count my blessing that Silly is always there to tolerate my nonsense. No doubt that there are times where we quarrel, each quarrel do help us understand one another better though too much of it will definitely strain a relationship. Looking back at the past two years, I do hope our relationship has grown to be much stronger than before. All right, feeling sleepy now. Shall retire for the night :)

Summer Scent.

The past week has been an extremely busy one. I was busy with work, meet up sessions, and preparation for school. School is seriously freaking me out. Advanced accounting modules again and I really have no idea how to handle them.

Silly and my parents took time off their work to accompany me to go back to school to collect my award. There were some familiar faces but people were engaged in conversations about banks which I wasn't really interested in. The socializing felt abit awkward and I was just happily enjoying my food with my family and love. The food was pretty good and I headed down to Cathay to catch "Horrible Bosses" with Silly. We had Ben and Jerry's before that and the ice cream is still as good as ever. Horrible Bosses was pretty horrible. I got quite bored after a while and almost fell asleep. The plot is pretty retarded as well given that the theme was something that had potential to be developed into something better.

Bugis was the next stop and we met Adrian and Mun Yee for steamboat dinner before heading to Esplanade. It was a pity that we went there late and there weren't good seats left at Orgo Bar. Being flexible, we went back to Muchos at Clarke Quay for drinks and snacks. I will never forget the horrible Margarita they had but I am so glad that I didn't give their awesome Mocktails a miss. It always feels so good to be able to chill out at such places and catch up over drinks. Silly sent me home in a cab after that and I almost fell asleep on my way home.

Saturday afternoon and night were spent with 38s. Awesome dinner, awesome bitching, and it was awesome to see Jade again :) I guess we flooded the entire Newton Circus with our saliva with our non-stop bitching. Today was well spent with love. I got to nap soundly in his arms though his snoring stills annoys me greatly. Lol. Time flies and school is going to start. STRESS.

The past week has been a blast! The Reckless shop opened its new branch at Vivocity on the 27th and I had a chance to work there for a day this week. All I can say - EXTREMELY BUSY. Each time I thought I could take a short break after bidding goodbye to the customers. To my horror, customers just came pouring in non-stop. The day ended with pretty good sales and I joined the rest of the peeps from Reckless for supper at Spize. I was lucky to get a lift from the bosses and reached home at 1230 am feeling so shag.

I was jumping around in excitement as I counted down to time to knock off on Friday. Silly reserved places for us at Chongqing Hotpot for dinner and the steamboat buffet was awesome. I was feeling so satisfied and walked around with a big tummy after dinner. We got stopped by a Taiwan photographer and his colleagues for some wedding phototaking fair that they had. Sorry to say, I AM STILL YOUNG and marriage is something that we are both not ready for. LOL. Saturday was well spent at Silly's comfy place where I caught up with my sleep.

Sunday was a blast! We headed down to Vivo for lunch before embarking on our journey of fun. When we reached USS, the first show that we caught was Shrek's 4D show. I shrieked when the brushes brushed against my legs when they tried to create the effect of spiders falling on our legs. The Donkey's sneeze was pretty gross too. Silly was laughing his head off at all my reactions. The next stop was at Monster Musical. The performance was pretty normal but it ended pretty well with "It's my life".

Revenge of the Mummy was next up on our list and I was screaming my head off throughout the entire ride while Silly was laughing his head off all the way at me. I came out of the place looking pretty much like an Ah Xiao with messy hair. We went to catch the Donkey Show to calm myself down and headed to Goldilocks for some snacks and B&J ice cream before exploring the place again. I totally love the Beeryard that we got! :)

After all that fun, we headed back to Vivo for dinner at Thai Express before training home. Thank you Silly, thank you for all the fun and laughter you have given me. Most importantly, thank you for your love :)

2011-07-24T09:09:00.000-07:00

Love is in the air.

The past week has been an exciting one. I finally got to meet up with GNS Tax peeps without anyone missing for steamboat dinner. Food was kind of sucky but the company was great. We eat, we drink, we gossip, and we laugh. What else can we ask for? However, everyone got quite serious when we started talking about future career path. Oh wells.

Saturday and Sunday were well spent with love. We headed to Tao's Restaurant for a 7-course dinner set meal. We thought the place would be pretty empty but to our horror, it was pretty packed. We went to have some Gelato while waiting for our table to be ready. I would give the restaurant 9 out of 10 points. The starter was awesome. I wanted to shove it to Silly at first as it looked kind of weird but after the first bite, I am so sure that I am coming back for more. The mains, desserts and salad were great too. Somehow the grass-is-greener-over-the-other-side syndrome hit Silly real badly as most of the stuff I ordered turns out to be nicer than what he ordered. LOL. The Japanese fish soup was absolutely well done as well! Gosh, the thought about the dinner just makes me want to drool again.

Watching Wu Xia was the next item on our to-do list. The movie is pretty funny in a comical way though some scenes were kind of disturbing. Guess the scriptwriter has to work harder on the plot. As the night was still young, we decided to try out Charly T's drinks before cabbing home. I would say, NEVER go there for their drinks. I guess the Manager seems much like a newbie as my drink tasted like pure alcohol when it is not supposed to be that way. Silly and me was on our way to becoming drunkards after downing the two cups of potent drinks.

Work tomorrow again and I am on full shift. I expect a shag day. Oh wells. Looking forward to the next weekend! :)

2011-07-03T00:46:00.000-07:00

Raise your glass.

"I really need to start eating more." Silly and me decided that we shall embark on Project C after realizing that I weigh less than 40 kg. I had to skip a day of work due to my bad rashes and I am glad that sales was good when I came back for work. Good sales translate to more money. Silly is pretty busy with his work so we could only meet up for dinner on Friday night on weekdays. We settled for Din Tai Fung at Nex and to my horror, Silly almost ordered too much food. "For the sake of Project C", he says. The Drunken Chicken was awesome though. The wine added so much more aroma to the chicken and it totally blends in very well with the soft, tender chicken. Oh gosh, thinking about it makes me drool again. The Dan Dan Noodles was horrible though and I think that their Xiao Long Bao totally can't match up to that of Crystal Jade's.

Coffee and toast made my day on Saturday morning and Silly headed to Supercuts for a haircut. I must say that the creative director is pretty skilled. That reminds me that I should go for a haircut soon as well. Went down to Eighteen Chefs to binge for more food and bought popcorn and sushi before heading back to Silly's place to nap. At this rate, I think I am going to become obese. Harry Potter's advance booking is out already. Being kiasu, we booked our tickets already. LOL. Then again, it is good being kiasu at times.

That reminds me of bidding. Gosh, it is so irritating to have to bid for modules. Planning time table and deciding on bid price is such a chore. Oh wells. Hopefully the 38 gang can get all our bids together. Working full shift tomorrow but I am so glad that May May is going to be around :)

2011-06-26T07:12:00.000-07:00

Beneath that shimmering appearance.

Whoo, a tiring week. Although I only had to work two shifts for this week but somehow there is just so much stuff to do and help out with at home. I finally got to meet up with Fran and Baby Clar to find out more about Baby Clar's new found love :) We managed to catch Green Lantern and as what Yiling says, the wow part was probably the hot bod. Dropped by at Reckless to say hi to Tay before meeting Silly Boy for dinner.

My Friday night was spent with Yuting for dinner and some catching up. To my horror, I found out certain stuff that only made me feel more disgusted at the character of some materialistic and immature bimbo. Mean girl, that's what Jade calls her. I agree. I can't believe that she looks down on people just because they may not appear to be smart, rich or good looking. Holy smokes. I am so glad that I got to realise that early, heeded Sis' advice to just stay away from such people and not be so silly to be bullied. What Yuting said was really true - appearances and results don't speak much about character.

Saturday was well spent with Silly. We ordered in Macs Breakfast before taking a solid nap. We headed down to Tampines One for dinner at NYDC and starbucks for Java chip and chocolate cake before heading home. Time spent with Silly is never enough. Working with Suqin today was fun and I was so glad that a customer bought four pieces of items that I recommended! I am so looking forward to Thursday where May Square, Suqin and me are going to own the shop. LOL

2011-06-19T08:11:00.000-07:00

Who says you are not perfect?

Holy smokes! Half of the month of June is pretty much gone like that. Work has been stress as usual and I would say it is good training to increase my self-confidence. I would say I am thankful for friends like May Square, Sheryl and Jade who has always been encouraging me and helping me in whatever ways they could even at Reckless now.

Silly has been OT-ing over the past few days and I am glad he finally gets to have a breather on Saturday. We headed down to Chef Daniel's Kitchen for lunch and I would say the ambience, food and service were good. The bread and soup left a deep impression on me and I would say they make one of the best starters I have had so far. The mains were just slightly above average but the dessert mousse was WOW. It didn't look very impressive when it was first served but I felt as if I was in food paradise when I had my first mouthful.

Next up on our to-do list after lunch was to catch "The Hangover Part 2" at Film Garde. The Hangover was the second movie that Silly and me watched after we knew each other and it left an impression in both of us. However, Part 2 was not as good and I would say I got a little restless after the first half an hour of the show.

Today saw me spending my afternoon at Silly's relative house meeting some of his relatives and learning how to play mahjong. I am glad his relatives were so hospitable and Esther's dog is really cute. Headed home to rest and the thought of having wot work tomorrow is dreadful. Oh wells. Shall look forward to having all the meet ups this week :)

2011-06-12T07:14:00.000-07:00

I feel blessed.

I can finally say an official goodbye to Year 3 of SMU life with AT results being finalized. To be honest, I was really worried that I would flunk my final exams given my poor understanding of all the GDPs. Thankfully, I got through it.

After fighting a battle with the AT paper on 3rd of June, Silly and me went for dinner at Ichiban Sushi before catching Pirates of the Caribbean. I thought the entire series ended with "At World's End" but apparently not. LOL. The story was pretty long, though not draggy, and not forgetting to mention, it was definitely enjoyable. Saturday saw me spending a no-study day with Silly and it was great catching up on our sleep after lunching at Eighteen Chefs. How I miss the Seafood Aglio Olio after being deprived of it for 3 weeks.

Headed to Reckless for my first day of work on 6th June. Working has been pretty all right so far just that it is pretty stressful to have to push sales. I need to make sure Sheryl, May square and me get to work together next month to relieve my stress. Saturday was a little screwed up because it was storming so badly but I had to get to Teochew Building before 1 to submit documents. I got a bit irritated along the way because I was carrying a couple of stuff. Luckily Silly is always patient with me and was there to help me out. Headed to his house after that and I got to say I do feel pampered by his parents. His mum cooked Bird's Nest for us and his father treated us to awesome Dim Sum at a really cool old school restaurant that has a strong Hong Kong flavour this morning.

Work again tomorrow and I hope everything goes well tomorrow :)

I'm yours.

This entire semester has been tiring. The worst of all - it hasn't ended. I really worried about all my final examination papers. I really screwed them up big time. I have no idea what I was writing, oh no, maybe I should say I know for sure that I wrote crap. I am really praying hard that I don't fail any of them. Now, there's still AT to worry about. I have no idea what is going on in class every week and it seems like I am living in my own retarded world. RAH. I need help and enlightenment. Maybe I should arrange for coffee with Watts and Zimmerman to find out what is going in their minds.

The past one week has been a pretty relaxing week and I took one week off and spent more time with Silly. Sleeping in his arms, watching movie, buying stuff, and eating nice stuff could all be summarized into a single word, AWESOME. Being together for about one year plus, there are so many things that I have yet to learn. Having chats with Silly always open up my mind to new insights of relationship. Though I do not agree with some of the stuff he said but I am beginning to understand certain ideas that I used to disagree with. I used to think that love is supposed to like a fairytale but not anymore. Do not get me wrong, I don't mean that in a negative way. It is just that I had a new revelation of what it is all about.

Recently, I have came across some stuff and I realized that some people do behave very childishly. Maybe I am one of them too. I know I am in no position to make any judgments but I do feel that some people should stop blaming others for certain stuff. I guess it always take two hands to clap. I have come to realize that sometimes it is not that people change which results in them drifting apart from one another. But rather, we should ask ourselves how we have treated others that have led them to be disappointed in you and thus walked away from your life.

Silly is starting work at his new workplace tomorrow. I do feel happy that he has found a job that he prefers over his previous one but I can't deny that I do worry about us when he starts work proper. Silly said that we just have to learn to accept changes. I do hope I can learn to accept the change in our lifestyle where we would not get to meet as much as before. Silly will probably more tired all the time and I still have school work to handle. But then again, he is right, it will be like that when I enter the working world in future too. Hm. I just got to grow up and learn.

2011-02-01T21:27:00.000-08:00

It's been sometime.

It's been sometime since I dropped another post here. Five weeks of the new term have passed and I am feeling really helpless. The modules are just getting ever so tough and seriously, I have no idea what is going on each week. I really do hope that I can get through this semester. I really do hope.

Celebrated Silly's 28th at Timbre, Old School and it was awesome. Awesome ambience, food, and drinks. I am definitely going back for more Shirley Temple. The performers for the night were amazing too. I was definitely mesmerized by the musician. LOL. I decided to give it a try on song dedication and it turned out well. Hope you like it too, my dear. :)

Company Law project took up the following few days of my time and it was one of the nightmares that you really hope to wake up from. Glad that it is over now but it seriously drained us.

Chinese New Year is finally here and I am pretty excited about steamboat dinner tonight. Looking at the food my mum prepared is making me drool right now. WHEE

Joyeux Anniversaire 21

An awesome Birthday dinner, awesome group of friends, an awesome you, and an awesome 21st. I fell sick one day before my birthday and I was pretty worried that I will be down with a fever on the actual day. My aunt surprised me as she popped by my house and handed me a red packet. We chit chatted for a while before I started to prepare myself to head out to the salon. To my surprise, the stylist took only 30 mins to settle me hair and I was glad that everything went according to my plan and timing. However, it was really weird to take the train with that hair of mine and carrying a bouquet of flowers as everyone was giving me weird looks. The next task on my list was to collect my balloons and it was great that the rain stopped in time for us to carry the balloons over to Chijmes. If not, I wonder how we will transport the balloons over under the heavy rain.

When I reached Hog's Breath, I was pretty pleased with the ambience and set up of the place and took only about 15 mins to put up the stuff. Thanks Silly, for handling everything. I totally love the cozy, laid back and comfortable ambience of the room and I do hope that my guests found it cozy and nice to chill out too. Although I couldn't spend alot of time catching up with everyone, I was glad that I still managed to find out how each and everyone who was there was doing recently. I was especially happy with how the cake turned out and I felt that all my effort in sourcing for a cake shop to provide me with such a design did not go to waste. Special thanks to all who stayed till everything ended (especially May May, Sheryl and Jade who came early and were the last to leave). Special thanks to Bryan too, for the excellent service and helping with the dirty job of cutting the cake. LOL. Sis, Silly and me hung around for another round of drinks before leaving at 10 plus.

Looking back at the entire event, there's a sense of achievement that I felt. The entire process of sourcing for a nice venue, cake, door gifts, dress, hairdo, balloons, and other nitty gritty details. I do agree with what Tan Chun said; when you handle everything yourself and the event turns out to be successful, it becomes more memorable ain't it? More importantly, I know exactly what I want and how I want it to be. Special thanks to Silly who was there to help me with everything possible and those that offered to help out too!:) Cihui had a memorable and unforgettable 21st and it would not have been possible without every single one of you.

2010-12-25T08:24:00.000-08:00

This Christmas.

To be honest, somehow I do not feel a strong Christmas festive season around this year as compared to previous years. I did not feel as excited about it as before and all I was looking forward to was having a nice and cozy Christmas dinner with the beloved one. Christmas eve was spent at home with my family and we stayed up to watch 200 pounds beauty. I almost couldn't wake up in time on Christmas morning to meet Silly for breakfast. I yawned my way to Tampines Mall and started off my day with Coffee and Toast. I was pretty surprised that they had a new Koi Cafe branch at Tampines Interchange and of course, how could we miss any opportunity to satisfy our craving for Honey Milk Tea. We headed down to Silly's house to do some serious work before nuahing around.

I decided to have something different for Christmas dinner this year - Hotpot. I painted the image of having Yuan Yang Pot while it was raining outside for Silly and he bought the idea. :) The Hotpot of our choice was Chong Qing Hotpot at Suntec. I saw some reviews about the food and service and that painted a pretty average expectation for me. To my pleasant surprise, the quality of the food and service way surpassed my expectations. They had waiters who specifically serve a few tables and it made us felt that all our needs were attended to well. The Manager even took time to explain and mix the sauce for us. It was only then did I realised why was this Hotpot buffet more pricey than the others. The soup base was great too. It wasn't as salty as those at Crystal Jade we had a couple of days ago and the Ma La Tang was seriously MA LA.

After about one hour, Silly and me was already 3/4 full. Great food, great company, great service was what I felt. That pretty much sums up my blessed and warm Christmas dinner. No commercializing and over priced food; only warmth and sincerity filled my Christmas. Hope that everyone else felt the same way this Christmas too.

[My first go at putting fake lashes]

What's next after Christmas? Birthday celebrations for the December babies. Heading off for Jacq's party later on and I hope that it doesn't rain as heavily as last night. :)

2010-12-21T05:58:00.000-08:00

Hello, my friends.

It has been a long time since I met up with these two. I miss them. I am glad we finally got to meet up for Clar's birthday dinner. I managed to catch Rapunzel with Fran before meeting Clar for dinner at MOF. The place is pretty well designed just that their staff service was pretty slow and bad. We headed down to Cafe Cartel for cakes after dinner and the entire catching up session was awesome. Though we were all tired, I totally enjoyed the company and chats.

Today was spent meeting up with 38 gang and settling balloons. We all chose to meet at Bugis due to the various motives that we had. We went around shopping before heading for lunch that was filled with gossips. Silly met me at City Hall after that to pre-order my balloons and that's another tick off my to-do check list. The next thing was to settle appointment and we hung out around Hougang mall for some walk around before heading home to nuah. Steamboat dinner tomorrow and I am so looking forward to it. I am so going to eat all the mushrooms and pork slices.

2010-12-10T19:19:00.000-08:00

In the midst of...

The past two days was spent by contacting various peeps for to confirm details for my birthday dinner and I am glad that most of the stuff seems to be falling into place. I have finally placed the order for my birthday cake after looking through all the various shops and designs. Pretty happy about the flavors I chose and I do hope it turns out well based on reviews and feedback by people. The main venue and menu has been settled and what's left is to go down to have a look at the place. Thanks Silly, for being there to travel with me all over to get stuff as I know it is really tiring.

Thinking of retail therapy tomorrow. WHEE!

2010-12-08T08:45:00.001-08:00

Disappointing.

That's exactly how I felt. It took me a long time to finally understand that how I should let go of some people; those that are no longer worth your time to even drop a SMS to find out how they are. Probably Silly is right, we may treat some people with sincerity but people may not treat us in the same way. The reason why I feel upset is because I expected people to do the some. To my horror, some people just take you for granted and trample your concern like a rotten egg. It is saddening to see this happening and I tried to tell myself it is all right, probably she didn't mean it. However, as time goes by, I can't lie to myself.

Silly told me that people change. They meet new people, they became different and so do relationships and friendships. I agree; as I am changing too. Someone I know of today is probably so different from someone I knew 3-4 years ago. Just when I thought we were still good friends, the other party may not have even give a damn about you. I guess this incident have made me understand and appreciate sincerity more than ever.

Probably Silly is right, I should just let it go and not be stupid to be taken for granted anymore.

2010-11-30T08:48:00.000-08:00

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender.

29th November, 2010. 7 pm. "Stop writing, put your pens down" was the phrase that marked the end of the final written examinations of Year 3 Semester 1. With much cursing and swearing, exams for the semester have eventually come to an end. I know I have screwed up my papers but I can't help but feeling happy when I handed my FIIM paper over to the Prof. I was glad that I could start to take a break. A true blue holiday awaits me.

Looking back at the past one semester, I guess there were so many things that I have learnt and things that I have to be thankful for. As usual, it has been a busy semester and times where I broke down because I can't take the stress. Be it stress given by the Prof or by myself, I know that I have to learn to handle them in better ways. The encounters I had with various people made me cherish those who are true to you even more. More importantly, I am thankful for Silly, who has always been there for me. He calms me down, consoles me when I need him, and tolerated all my nonsense when I vented my frustrations at anything I saw or came across. When I was busy with work or study, he waited patiently till I finished them before talking to me over the phone and say goodnight. When I was too busy to step out of the house to get food, he came all the way to buy me my meals and kept me company while I did my stuff. When I needed a shoulder to lean on, he was there to hug me, wipe my tears, and whisper in my ear "It's all right, I am here." When he knows that I am burnt out and exhausted, he will say "Let's go grab something nice to eat." Thanks Silly, for being there not just for the past four months, but for the past one year plus since we knew each other.

With the end of papers, I headed down to Holland Village with the 38 gang for Crystal Jade buffet and Xiao Long Bao buffet. We were freaking hungry by the time we reached there and I got to say, having steamboat during a rainy day is absolutely awesome. Steaming hot Xiao Long Baos added more smiles to our faces. I was supposed to join in for midnight movie but I got to tired so I went home after that to be sleeping beauty.

I woke up with a smile this morning because I know that for once in the past few months, I do not have to wake up to study, write report or finish up with any slides. I helped out with the household chores before heading out with Silly to catch Harry Potter. It is a love-hate relationship that I have with movies that split themselves into two parts. Love it because more details from the novel can be planted into the movie but hate it because I have to wait till next Summer to be able to catch part 2. The suspense (although not exactly suspense given that I have already read the book) kills me. Two and a half hours' paper is pretty long but I totally enjoyed it.

Haven't plan out what I am going to do during the holidays yet and I am excited about it :)

2010-10-19T03:46:00.000-07:00

It's been 365 days.

A year ago we met. The first impression we had of each other, the phone calls you made, and the times when you were there when I had downs in life. Of course, just like any couple, we had our disagreements. However, with each argument, we seem to know and understand each other better. We both came into each other's life and I do hope that my presence have made your life even more colourful than before.

6 October saw Silly and me taking a day off to enjoy each other's company. We met for dinner after my AIS meeting and headed to take off at the Singapore Flyer. The night's view pretty good and half the time Silly kept urging me to look straight down to see how high we were from the ground. That freaked me out. Thanks love, for the wonderful night, wonderful year that you have given me and most importantly, the wonderful you.

It is week 10 now. More than half the semester is gone but the stress and workload seems to be piling up and breaking the meter with each week. There's bound to be something every week that I am getting burnt out. Guess I should be feeling slightly relieved that AIS project is over too and now what's left is FIIM project and presentation. Islamic Banking. Ok, I have absolutely no idea what is going on. Tax planning and Audit. I have absolutely no idea what's going on in class too. Roar.

All right, back to work.

When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. -Franklin D. Roosevelt

Hanging on? I doubt I am able to do that. There just seems to be no end to work. Each week, I am expected to present something, submit something or study for test or quiz. It never stops and I am already dead trying to keep up with it. Besides being physically challenge to stay up every single night till 2 or 3 am, there are so much emotions to handle when you fail your own expectations. Cihui is freaking cui and she is so going to fail. That's all I hear all the time.

No shopping, no movies, no life. Even when I meet Silly, it is either I am at his house doing work or he is at my house watching me do work. Either way, I have turned all my dates into having Silly stare at me doing work and get me food when I am hungry. It is hard on us but I don't have a choice. I am sorry my dear and I am grateful that you have always been so understanding.

Every single mod is causing me to crumble and feel upset. Accounting is probably not for me. Not for someone who can't see things in the way accountants see it. What am I better off doing? I don't know. Probably I am just not good at anything. Oh wells.

Week 6 saw me trying to get a breather with the end of AIS midterm and the torture of tax planning quiz part 1. Part 2 is about to start soon and oh wells. ROAR! Met up with Adrian and friends with Silly on Tuesday night for frog porridge. It was GREAT. I had some reserves about joining them at first because they were eating frogs. But in the end, I managed to convince myself that it is probably similar to eating fish or chicken and to my surprise, it was great. The chicken and kang kong was nice too. It was indeed worth the effort going there though the "Gay World Hotel" situated next to it was kind of turning off.

Friday saw me catching Legend of The Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen. It could be due to Ip Man that I had high expectations of this show. However, to my amusement, it turned out to be kind of a joke. I am definitely not referring to Chen Zhen nor his admirable patriotic spirit. But rather, Donnie Yen's exaggerated yelling and actions. He actually used the technique of "roaring" at his enemies and that did caused them to back off when fighting with him. All the audience burst into laughter.

Saturday was back to school for meeting again and I headed off to Jun Zhi's house to complete the slides and access stuff while the guys were playing Mahjong. Oh wells, what good life they lead. Sometimes I do wish that I am a guy with high power of ignore where you just ignore everything else that happens around you and remain a happy person.

All right, I guess I am a non-stop working machine. FML.

Only with time will love understand.

As internship comes to end, it means school has started. The first week of school was a time of adaptation for me. Adapting to the culture of being a student again ain't easy. I found myself not understanding what the profs are saying (happens in every single class since year 1 without fail). I guess from the prof's point of view, my face is one that says "HEH? What are you talking about?". Oh wells. At this point of time, I really wished I was still working. But of course, being paid a proper pay instead of allowances. LOL. That sums up my first week in school - swimming in a sea of question marks.

Thursday night was meet up with the GB gang for dinner. Shocked to find out about some stuff but that also helped me learn more about relationships and different point of views. Friday night was meet up with Silly's friends. We headed to Taka for Kichi Kichi Hotpot. Thought it would be a bad experience again but it turns out the service and food seemed much better than the last time. I felt super bloated after polishing up my plate and we headed to The Coffee Club for dessert. Love the rum and raisin ice cream :)

Chilling time at Clarke Quay followed next and we hung out at the Muchos. The margarita was not as nice as that of Orgo but the probing of Adrian and his Taiwanese girlfriend's love story was indeed entertaining. Cabbed home with Silly at 1 am and now, it is back to tonnes of shit work again.

2010-08-13T20:09:00.000-07:00

Time is love.

Impressed. That's what I have got to say for Sovil Titus' advertisement. It captured my attention and got me to stop and think about what the advertisement was trying to convey. Although it is a marketing gimmick, it did seem quite meaningful. If a guy doesn't express his concern and love in a way a girl expects or hopes for, it does makes a girl feel as if he doesn't care. Yet, he still loves her, doesn't he?

Thursday and Friday saw me out shopping for various stuff. Treated mum to lunch on Thursday afternoon before getting my new shorts. Wanted to get a new skirt but there wasn't new stock. I then trained back to school to get my audit book from a sweet looking chio bu and yes, silly missed out on a feast for his eyes.

Friday was shopping day with silly and we gave up on our plan to queue for Koi due to a seemingly non-ending queue. Had dinner at Thai Express before getting my new bag for school. Thanks silly, I know you are tired from work and I appreciate that you still put in efforts in dating:)

Saturday was stay home Saturday with Silly after getting stuff for school. The usual nuah-ing and Mac Delivery for dinner makes our day. I guess Silly is right in some ways. Sometimes, it is not what we do that matters. What matters is that we have each other for company.

2010-08-06T18:31:00.000-07:00

An end to one learning journey. A beginning of another.

Last week of internship and it was a four day work week for me. Took a day off on Tuesday to collect my award at school and I got to say it was the shortest and sweetest award ceremony I have been to. Speech and everything took only one hour plus and it ended. Speaker went straight to the point and there were minimal waiting time. After a tea reception, Silly and me brought my parents around the school for a short tour and it is quite an eye opener to hear my parents talk about how the entire place looked like 10 years ago compared to a modern school campus we have now. Silly and me then headed off for some shopping before catching Inception. I got to say the movie is mind blowing and it is a little taxing on the brain at the start. However, as the show goes on, I begin to realise the unlimited potential that our mind and brain has.

Friday marks the last day of our summer internship. Three months plus of learning experience, meeting clients' demands and handling working relationship with different colleagues. Working life has been fun, tough and stressful but I have to say that it has been a really fruitful learning experience. My first accounting related job has taught me a lot. Many of the tax and double entry concepts have been reinforced greatly through this hands on experience. Explaining tax concepts to Clients was another test of our understanding of what has been taught and what we know. Through that, I realised how little knowledge about tax we have. There is so much more exemptions for various types of business that we have yet to explore and learn.

Working with various staff was also a test as different people have different working styles and it is an exact replica of a project work scenario. Learning to stay positive and face everything with a smile is indeed important as it makes everything in life easier and happier. The three months long journey has come to an end and I am thankful for it. With each experience, we all grow, don't we?

After tying up all the loose ends at work, I headed down to town to meet the babes for dinner cum bitching session at Marche. I conclude that we can really bitch alot and my energy crashed after which. Thanks Jade, for the gifts you that you flew over with you from Hong Kong.

These two days are days spent with Silly and it is weird how I miss him so much even though we just saw each other. Mahjong session with interns tomorrow and I shall go and WOW first.

2010-07-31T20:21:00.000-07:00

Do not do unto others what you do not want them to do to you.

This hit me really hard during work in the past week. Thursday saw me rushing out stuff for some of the audit peeps and I have got to say that some interns from a particular school are really rude and unappreciative. Initially, I thought that was me being oversensitive. However, it turns out that most of the tax staff who worked with them did not have a pleasant working time either. That made me felt how important mutual respect at work will really help to make your life easier. This topic has been brought up several times during GRA class but I didn't seem to register it as much as last week when the issue is being brought up right in front of us. Guess that was a test of my patience and tolerance level in dealing with mean people. In conclusion, respect others.

Expectations and entitlements.

This was the topic that Silly and me were discussing yesterday night. In a relationship, should we expect anything from each other? For me, I used to think it is human nature for us to expect something from each other be it tangible stuff or not. But Silly begs to differ. If one party wants to do something for the other, he or she will just do it without expecting something in return. But how many relationships today are like that? As mentioned by Karen, the younger generation re brought up with the thinking that you shouldn't lose out. Each and everyone does something for another with an expectation to get something back in mind. How many of us truly offers to help or love without expecting anything in return? Hm... That keeps me thinking about myself too.

All right, enough of the heavy stuff. Time for some entertainment. We went to catch Sorcerer's Apprentice on one of the Fridays and I got to say the style is pretty much like Percy Jackson. It is quite funny and interesting but it is really amusing to see people conducting spells and everything in the middle of nowhere in New York City and claiming it to be the gate of what or entrance of what. It was quite hilarious when they used the satellite thingy to channel energy to raise the dead. It is cool but somewhat amusing too.

Next Friday saw me at Manhattan for dinner and I must say the platter is great:) Love the garlic rice and butter prawns. Totally awesome. Saturday saw me at TM's Pizza Hut before heading to G2000 for some shopping. I saw the blouse that I want and I am so going to get it. All right, off for more wow and probable shopping later.

2010-07-18T23:49:00.000-07:00

Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one.

Last week have been a really busy week. Rushing financial statements, tax computation, and even audit. I am like a busy bumble bee, rushing all over the office every day. However, I got to say last week was awesome. Though I hate the special audit job, I got to say it is a good stepping stone and exposure to what audit is like. Received an email that brightened up my day! And I am glad to have people to share my joy with me. Guess it is also a motivation to continue working even harder and not slack given that I am getting lazy and slack.

Wednesday saw me at Kichi Kichi with the interns and the food is not good at all. Variety was limited and service was below average. I definitely won't recommend it to friends as I heard there are much better hot pot places around. Despicable Me was the highlight of Friday's programme and I think Agnes is freaking cute! Totally in love with her "It's so fluffy" and I am in love with unicorns. :) More movies coming up and I am so going to catch them.

Three weeks more to the end of internship and I am still counting down, though SLOWLY.

2010-07-11T18:15:00.000-07:00

The past two weeks have been great, apart from bidding.

I am falling in love with K-ing with peeps although I am not too sure if they can stand my voice. Sang with the crazy girls and new age sensitive guy till about 10 before heading for home. Second time K-ing and I am getting addicted. The sense of satisfaction we got from screaming and shouting into the mic was simply great. Probably we are all too stress from work.

Last Friday was shopping night and I headed to town with Silly to get my bag. This is the first time I bought a bag without thinking so much and this is thanks to someone who kept urging me to buy. LOL. Went to macs to get some drinks before heading home to nuah. Saturday was usual head-to-Silly's-House day and I think Silly's mum is getting so used to me popping by every Saturday.

Sunday was awesome as we had a great meet up with my cousins. Sis and me went to meet Karin and Isabelle at 12 pm before heading to TM to meet Jen and Silly for lunch at Cartel. I guess we were the most troublesome customers at Cartel on that day. LOL. We then headed to Town for some shopping and I had Yami Yoghurt which was great! There were lots of laughing and catching up that I am so looking forward to the next gathering again :)

Work again today and Boss results are out. As usual, students jack up prices for some weird reason and I didn't get AMA again. RAH. It sucks to be worrying about getting modules when you have paid school fees for goodness sake. I guess the Registrar will be handling lots and lots of complaint.

WOW time now. Let tomorrow worry for itself. :)

2010-07-07T05:30:00.000-07:00

It's a love story, baby just say yes.

Haven't blogged since 84574398579 hours ago. Life's been pretty busy with meet ups, work, plans for bidding and of course, time spent with loved ones. What's more bizzare is that I fell really sick again twice in once month. I had really bad fever and cold two weeks ago and I practically laid in bed and slept for two full days. Went back to work with super sexy voice and I kept disturbing people with my sneezes and cough. I used up everyone's tissue too and I think I caused a shortage in supply in office. I guess Mr Goh must have thought how weak we are as we all fell sick one after another.

Office's wireless was down for several days and it is finally up and working for us to access to the server properly. It has been really irritating to go and irritate the rest with cable access to print stuff for us. Sometimes, we just rather not print and do something else till 6. LOL

I am counting down till Friday before I can meet Silly and get some retail therapy.

2010-06-19T21:01:00.000-07:00

Gossip girls.

I finally got to meet up with the girls this week. We met at Cathay for Aston's (after Jade finally made up her mind) and the queue was horribly long. However, with sheer determination, we managed to get seats for our wonderful dinner. I totally love the garden veggie and I don't understand why some people hate it. HAHA

Ben and Jerry's was our next stop for dessert while we waited to catch Jade's friend perform. Performance was so so but the ice cream was great :) Guess I will have more of it next week.

After working for 8 weeks, I have come to see how different people work, manage relationships, as well as their lives. There are times which I disagree at how some handle relationships with their co-workers and their attitude towards work. Through these different faces I see, I have come to learn how not to behave in certain way in future and how I should be.

2010-06-14T05:16:00.000-07:00

爱要及时，没有如果。

The last weekend was lovely. Totally enjoyed it, totally romantic.

Friday was outing day for me as usual and Silly and me went to catch the Karate Kid at AMK Hub. Cliche story line, usual happy endings; but there are always lessons to be learn. Jaden Smith did a good job in playing his role and I am quite impress with him given his age. Jackie Chan no longer takes on the main lead in this show as Jaden Smith steals the limelight but kudos to the "Kungfu" shown.

Was really shag after the movie and headed on to put on my face mask before I slept. Headed down to Silly Boy's family condo and used the gym there. I can't believe I manage to complete a 2.4km run on the treadmill without giving up nor stopping. We went to have a dip in the spa pool after exercising and went to the swimming pool to play/try-to-swim. There was a look like six to ten years old kid that came and swim in between us and decided to join Silly in bullying me at the pool. Guess he thought splashing water at a older sister was really fun. We then went to Bedok 85 to have nice dinner before heading to his house to rest. Thanks dear, I enjoyed myself.

Looking back, I do agree with Silly that my thoughts have changed quite a bit through the times we have spent together. I have learnt to see things from a different perspective and I guess I have learnt to forgive and forget. If I really don't like something, I will just walk away and distance myself from it instead of staying there and make negative judgements. I am only 20 and I still have a long way to go in growing up. And I know, you will be there to guide me.

2010-06-10T06:57:00.000-07:00

Shag.

This week has been rather tiring. I had insomnia on Sunday and Monday. That really took a toll on me. I was spacing out half the time and my eyes were popping out I finally got to meet up with Clarissa and Fran couldn't make it because she fell sick. I went to get new face masks while waiting for Clarissa. Tried on new types of it and I hope that it is as good.

Was catching with Ching Soon yesterday night and I realised that I haven't been watching TV programmes since a long time. Guess this is how life is when you work. It is a cycle of waking up-going to work-coming home to sleep five days a week. Through such an experience, I truly understand why people keep saying that we should keep a work-life balance. I hope I don't become a boring working class in future.

One more week of internship is coming to an end. We all can't wait for the last day of work. Seems like the clients we have recently are getting slightly demanding and it can be frustrating at times. However, the interns are getting closer and I see them more than I see my boyfriend in a week. LOL.

TGIF tomorrow. Can't wait for movie tomorrow followed by gym and jacuzzi on Saturday. Hope I don't get too lazy!

2010-06-05T10:24:00.000-07:00

A night out with 6 27 year old guys. New experience.
Haven't blogged for some time and I am back :) This week at work was as usual, nothing new, nothing exciting. Oh no, probably there is one event that is considered exciting: pay day. With the pay, I finally got my Panasonic Lumix! I like the design and the specifications. Though it is a "amateur" type of camera and cannot be compared to a SLR that Alfred's brother owns (which cost 2K plus), I am happy with what I have so far. A decent camera is all I need to capture moments with love ones.I was craving for stingray and headed down to Chomp Chomp. The food was awesome and we headed to my house to rest after that. I was so tired that I fell asleep after putting my face mask on. Luckily Silly set an alarm to wake me up in time.

I woke up quite late today and headed over to Silly's place in the afternoon. Played wow and nuah around for a while before heading out to meet his gang of friends. It feels weird to be in the midst of a bunch of 27 year old as I look extremely young. However, they were friendly and nice. One of them look really young too and he can easily passed off as a university student. We had dinner at Aston's and went over to Grapevine to chill. Quite a ok place for chill out but there isn't air-con which I didn't like. Had brownie, oreo frappucino and Hooch. We stayed till 12 plus and Alex was nice enough to send us home. It was a new and nice experience to be out with them and I have come to realize a few points. I always had the mentality that each age group has their unique way of chilling out, thinking and speaking. I felt a little stress before meeting them as they were much older and I was worried that there might be huge age gaps in mentality. Though it is true that some of the topics they had were kind of out of my range, there are certain similarities in the way they chill out and the way we (younger ones) do.

Interesting phrases for the day as mentioned by Alex:

1. I am not against gays as they leave more girls around for me to catch.
2. I am not against lesbians as when I get one of them, I get the other free.

Tomorrow shall be rest day, where I catch up on my sleep. Ta Ta.

Every boy loves his girl in his unique little ways. The guy may express his love for his girl in ways that girls don't see nor accept it, but the fact doesn't change - he loves her.

2010-05-31T05:12:00.000-07:00

Loving my weekends, loving him.

It is amazing how three days of holidays past like that and today seemed to be crawling away AGAIN. Mondays are torturous and they make us feel blue. Fridays, on the other hand, seem to be a rainbow day.

Went shopping at Bugis on Saturday and it was great. Bought a polo tee and belt which I like :) Had QQ Noodles before heading back home with Silly. I am glad that I didn't leave my boyfriend behind at Bugis street when I was highly engross with shopping. Yet, during shopping, you will happen to meet some bimbos which makes you feel disgusted although I have seen loads already. Seriously, I guess they are just not the type I can communicate with.

When I start to work, I have come to realise how precious each and every minute that I spend with my love ones are. Be it my family, Silly, friends, or the 38 gang, time never seems to be enough when we are together. Guess it is also good in a way because I will learn to count my blessings and cherish each moment with them even more. Thank you to each and every one for you who make an effort to plan meet ups and all even when I am busy. I really appreciate all the meet ups and time taken off to plan and execute them.

And I am having a problem with McSpicy. It is nice but.... hahaha. As Jeremy puts it, the double McSpicy is worse. Oh wells, but we got to admit that we are still going to eat it anyway!:)

Can't wait for the next date or meet up and I can't wait to get my Lumix!

I can't give you everything in the world, but I will give you everything that I have.

2010-05-28T19:50:00.000-07:00

Great weekend.

This week was supposed to be a four day work week for all but I fell sick on Tuesday so I had to take two days of MC. So, my supposedly shorter working week became even shorter. Silly boy came over and brought me to the doctor. I had to wear a mask at the clinic because I was coughing badly. I totally looked retarded but I guess that's the fashion when you are sick.

Headed back to work on Thursday and found out another Intern fell sick with fever. I guess the ventilation in the office is quite bad as we are all falling sick one after another. Thursday was a slightly busier day as I had to clear work that was accumulated over the past two days when I wasn't around. However, I was glad that Clients have mailed back the original documents so that I can finally pass the file over to the Admin side, get the stuff mailed to IRAS and say bye bye to that case. The work for that day kept me busy till 6 and I headed out with the rest of the interns to catch Sex and the City 2. I would say the show was a little draggy and but there is some truth regarding how guys and girls think after marriage as seen from Carrie. I would seriously hope that my husband do not just want to sit on the couch every weekend watching TV and ordering take-away and nothing else. We definitely need some SPARKS. HAHA.

Yesterday saw me at Silly's house. Was supposed to go for a Jacuzzi session but I skipped that as I was too nuah. LOL. In the end, we nuah around till dinner time before heading to TM for Ajisen! I had the spicy ramen and it was great :) However, I got complained that I forgot that I have a boyfriend when I am out as I let go of his hands and walked straight into anything that catches my attention while he is busy trying to locate me. Shopping later on. YAYS. Hope I don't get too lazy to get out and also not forget that I have a boyfriend when I see clothes or the word sale.

2010-05-24T06:28:00.000-07:00

Love them:)

Week 4 of internship ended and I met up with the gang for our weekly meetings. We celebrated May square's birthday in advance at Ajiman. The Kimchi ramen is good but I still prefer Ajisen's. However, the service gave by the boss was truly commendable. It is really hard to find bosses who are willing to clear tables, greet customers and spend a minute or two to chat with customers. We headed to May's shop and the rooftop to take more pics before heading home. I dropped by Faceshop on my way to get my favorite masks and I was lucky that the shop wasn't close yet.

Saturday saw me heading to Silly's house again to watch some dramas and nuah around since it is a weekend. Had dinner with his family again before heading home. Sunday saw me being a good girl as I stayed at home to clean up the house. Honestly, I felt a sense of achievement to see the house spick and span. Dear came over at about 4 plus and we headed out for dinner with small small. LOL. Happy family yeah.

I was doing some thinking for the past few days and I have come to realize how easily do people change at times and you do not truly understand or know who they are. Some become more mature whereas others become more immature and shallow in their thoughts. The rat race, the corporate ladder and so on; while everyone is busy trying to win the fame, honour and glory, some seem to have lost their way, forgotten who they are and what they truly wanted. As a result, they lose friendships and precious time that could be better spent on other things in life that are worth much more. Thanks for reminding about the important lesson my dear. I will take one step at a time, within my capacity :)

2010-05-17T07:40:00.000-07:00

Working class.

When the week starts, time seems to crawl. When the weekend comes, time flies. I am counting down to the end of internship man. The past week saw the tax department converted into a temporary audit department as we had to do collations for financial statements. With a general ledger in hand, we prepared the financial statements. We all got quite stress as we couldn't balance some of the figures. Yet, I can't deny that doing that helps us gain experience.

Friday saw me meeting the favorite gang for dinner and gossip. Was supposed to have dinner at Timbre but it was too crowded so we shifted to Chalk instead. Nice night with nice company, what else can I ask for?

Saturday saw me heading to dear's house as usual and had dinner with his family at Eastpoint Mall. His brother looks like a little boy. LOL. Had Ben and Jerry's ice cream and it was satisfying :)

2010-05-09T03:42:00.000-07:00

Manhattan Seafood Platter for 2. Swensen's Butter Herb Prawns.

Food food food! Have been tasting great food for the past one week. I managed to find my favorite cup noodles that is not sold in normal NTUC or Cold Storage in the supermarket just right below my office. I was so happy! LOL. Yummy Tom Yam noodles that fills my stomach and satisfies me when I am hungry at night. Bought extra cups for Silly Boy too.

Tuesday saw me heading down to school with the rest of the interns for the exchange talk and I almost fell asleep. The administration policies are seriously too much and it is enough to turn applicants off. However, I was kind of surprised that they had some request thing available for couples who wish to attend the same school. LOL. Met Silly Boy for late dinner at Manhattan Fish Market and the platter was awesome! Totally love the seafood chowder too.

Wednesday saw me celebrating little sis's birthday at the Swensen's and I love the butter herb prawns there! The prawns and rice was well done and I am definitely going back there for more. Friday was kind of tiring and didn't manage to catch Iron man 2 as all the tickets were sold out. However, Saturday was another awesome day spent with Silly Boy. Had Laksa at Coffee and Toast for breakfast and I love it too. Headed to get movie tickets and Ben & Jerry ice cream before going to his house to nuah. Auntie cooked nice food for us for dinner before we headed out for some action movie. I would think the movie is good though with lesser action. More emotions and self-discovery in this season and yes, I am in love with the Iron Man suit. LOL

Work tomorrow again before meeting the long-time-no-see threesome gang at Chomps for dinner. Stingray!

2010-05-01T21:22:00.000-07:00

Start of internship, start of horror.

One week of internship has passed. Doing tax computations and filling up forms to IRAS is really stressful. Any mistakes and any carelessness will cause repercussions to the tax computations of the next few years. The only good thing about the internship is the convenience in travelling to the workplace and being able to refer to various sources for information each day. It is how funny all of us kept refering to our cheat sheets each time we do computations. Lol.

Met the Corp gang for K-box session on Thursday night and sang our hearts out like never before. May square was the Ah Xiao for the day as usual. That made it a memorable first ever K- session I had.

Results for semester 2 are out. I am glad my hard work paid off and that officially marks the end of year 2 semester 2. I agree with Jade that we have been cursing the wrong person since the start of the semester. LOL. Corp reporting came out as a relief and doing past year final papers really helped a lot. FRS is totally useless.

I met Silly Boy for movie session on Friday night and IP Man 2 is awesome! There were parts that were super touching and I must say it was a really motivating and inspiring. There's just so much more to learn in life and how to make ourselves better people with much better integrity.

Five day work week starts tomorrow again though. Oh wells, I shall console myself by start counting down to the end of internship.

2010-04-24T10:23:00.000-07:00

I love them :)

My WOW account is up and I am playing like crazy everyday. Wonder what will happen to me when the game is next down for maintenance. I headed down to Sentosa on Thursday and met the gang for picnic-tanning-bitching-posing session. Had fun for the whole afternoon there before meeting Amanda at the Soup Spoon for dinner. I felt really shagged by the time I reach home but it was a great day spent.

Friday saw Silly Boy coming over to WOW with me before heading out to get office tops at G2000. Kind of like the blue blouse I got there and most of all, the discount from Helen Auntie :). Brought small small out for dinner too and everyone looked at us as if we are a small family.

New week coming up ahead. Hope all goes well man.

2010-04-17T10:05:00.000-07:00

Semester 2 has ended.

Great, semester 2 has ended. Ended with a bang because all the papers were sucky and I just didn't know what to write. Oh wells. Gone case.

I could finally go out without rushing home to study. May, Jade and me headed to the museum after GRA and did crazy things again before going off for lunch at Manhatten Fish Market. The platter was great! Tay came to join us after that before I went off after treating them to Anderson's ice cream. Guess I am going to get my refund soon once my cui finance results are out.

Headed to Silly boy's house and kind of watched Iron Man before heading to Jocey's birthday party. Wohoo, so many people are turning 21 and I am going broke. Headed to Chomp Chomp with my family after that and saw may may there. Ahahah. Finally seen her boyfriend in action.

All right, I shall take a good night rest and sleep without having alarms being set. :)

2010-03-29T05:14:00.000-07:00

I should get down to studying and stop slacking as if there's no tomorrow.

Have been really really busy over the past few weeks. Week 12 and 13 is where all project submissions and presentations are due. I have been like a workaholic. Non-stop work. Till everyone is telling me to sleep and eat properly.

Week 12 saw me having 2 quizzes, one presentation and one corp test. As expected, I didn't survive through any. Corp is a goner and the rest, I can't even find the worst word to describe them. Today saw me marking the end of my projects for this semester. Presentation was really bad. Oh wells. I just have the flair for screwing things up.

Came home after finance and wanted to nap for while before completing GRA. Ended up chionging it and now I am feeling really exhausted. Gosh. What a tiring week and day. Guess it is attributed to the lack of sleep for the past few weeks. Shall go off for dinner now and take my short break:)

2010-03-10T04:43:00.000-08:00

Let's take a short, sweet break:)

Gosh, really really shagged and maxed out for the past few weeks. I was tied down by nothing but work, tests, and quizzes. No breaks, no movies, no shopping. Facing annual reports and excel sheets 24/7 is a killer and F TMY.

Monday saw me being killed, literally. I had MPW and Finance quizzes on Monday. Apart from that, Corp Reporting project report was due too and I had to rush home to do GRA assignment. Do all the Profs in SMU think that we are all superwoman? Monday was really horrible. However, I was gald to be able to have a good night sleep on Monday night after all submissions.

Tuesday saw me having GRA meeting. Really have to chiong for it after all these days being used for Corp. Quite productive though. Then I went off to meet Silly to get his Corporate picture taken and I saw for myself the power of photoshop! I want to get a corporate picture taken soon too and stick it onto my resume. haha. We then headed to PS's Ajisen for dinner because I was craving badly for Volcano. Luckily I got the person to put the chilli on a seperate bowl as it was really spicy even though I added slightly more than half into the noodles. Dinner was awesome as the food and company were good. I am glad I got my new foundation brush too:)

Headed down to AMK after that to get new shorts and had Anderson's ice cream. We were unable to catch a movie as the timings were unsuitable. Never mind, shall chiong my work and find time to watch one soon. Today saw me spending time at Silly's house resting and doing GRA. Macs for breakfast and Long John Silver's for lunch! :) All the fats are being dumped into me because everyone says that I look much skinnier than before.

Came home and just completed finance. Ok, continue with work tomorrow. Now, let's take a short, sweet break:)

2010-03-02T03:45:00.000-08:00

Busy bumble bee.

Gosh, this semester is freaking crazy and heavy. I am not sure whether it is the profs problem, my problem, or the combination of modules. All the workload and quizzes for the modules are so heavy and I haven't had a proper break. There is bound to be some quiz every single week. Oh wells.

GRA is totally cui. Sigh, another paper like tax. SHIT.

I am quite happy with finance though. At least my hard work paid off during CNY.

Had been really busy for the past few weeks that I don't even have time for so many things. Though Silly was understanding, I still feel bad. Week 8 was spent on corp reporting project and little attention was given to GRA. What made it worse was that I kept falling sick:( Thanks girls for being so understanding during the corp meetings. Guess all of us have been really tired and we need to hang in there. I am so looking forward to our Corp Camp. LOL

I badly want to watch a movie soon and eat Ajisen or Crystal Jade Dim Sum soon! Shall we shall we shall we?! hahaha

Shall give myself a break before I chiong chiong chiong for corp again!

2010-02-15T19:50:00.001-08:00

Thank you, My Valentine:)

It has been eons since I last blogged. I have been really busy with school work and I am going to die of work overload soon. The week just righ before CNY saw me having two quizzes and one test. Finance and Corp were killers and I so don't know how I am going to survive this semester.

After Corp on Thursday, I met Silly Boy for some CNY shopping and bought new blush and eye shadow. I like the colours and I am so going to try other eye shadow colours in future. We went to shop at Bugis and had QQ noodles before heading to his house. I felt really tired by the time I reached home as I totally didn't have a proper break for the past don't know how many weeks.

Friday saw me laughing hard at myself for my own stupidity. I accidentally switched off my laptop's wireless detector on my laptop WITHOUT knowing that it is a wireless detector button. I got cut off from the net and totally didn't know what to do. I called Singtel for help and they too thought it was a net problem. In the end, I called Fujitsu thinking that it was my laptop's problem, and the technician guy said "Based on the symptoms you described, could you do me a favour by brushing your switch next to your audio jack from the left to the right side?" HAHAHA. Gosh, joke of the day.

I went back to school after freaking out for nothing to submit my Internship Risk Undertaking Form before heading to SOB for GRA meeting. It is funny how OCS directs us to a door but yet the system does not allow students to use their card to access into the room. Luckily there was still a lady in the office during lunch time who helped me to open the door. If not, I would have to walk back to the OCS again after meeting. Headed to PS to meet Silly for late lunch at Yoshinoya before going to Faceshop to get my brushes. The sales girl was really nice and sweet and she definitely made my day.

Saturday saw my rushing through GRA assignment and starting on MPW while trying to help clean the house. Headed down to Compass Point to get Silly's cookies before heading home for more work. Reunion dinner was great as it was Hotpot! I then spent the night researching before heading to bed.

Valentine's day was great and we managed to catch Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Totally love the idea of using Greek Legends and Myths as the storyline though some parts sounded really funny. Especially how the entrance to meet the Gods was at the Empire State building. We then headed to Pasta Mania for supper

Yesterday saw me doing work at Silly's house and had dinner with his family. Saw his brother for the first time and I can conclude that I have never seen him in VJ before. Haha. Ok, off to do finance today. Gosh, I should really stop procrastinating.

2010-01-20T06:56:00.001-08:00

I am just not working hard enough.

Cihui is a slacker and there are just so many things waiting for her to complete. The workload just keeps piling up and it never ends. This semester is craziness and she just wants to run away. Rah. Irritating.

Internships. Gosh, I have yet to edit my resume to make it look much better. Guess I will refer to the pros' copy and do what I can. Cihui is screwed screwed screwed.

Spent the day at Silly Boy's house and did Corp for one whole day. This is the module after tax to haunt me. Life's a bitch and I just want to shoot myself. Guess it is really time to work much much harder and manage my time well.

CNY is round the corner and I am so excited about heading to Chinatown for some CNY goodies shopping. But then again. the freaking workload is not permitting me to do anything but work. RAH.

2010-01-19T05:51:00.000-08:00

I am barely breathing.

2 quizzes and 1 presentation is no joke. I was practically working every single minute for the past one week plus. No breaks, no breather. I am seriously screwed.

After the crazy day yesterday, met silly boy to celebrate his birthday. Headed to Kovan to collect his cake first then headed to town for dinner. Silly boy blew off some choco powder on his cake when he blew off his candles. lol. We then went to watch "Did you hear about the Morgans". The show is quite good. Not too slow and it was interesting. Typical guy girl thing and how couples patch up after a conflict.

Work again today. FML

2010-01-07T06:59:00.000-08:00

School means boo hoo hoo.

The first week of school is insane. Just merely showing the course outline is enough to freak me out. Perhaps I should tell the Profs that I have a weak heart and they should stop having crazy course outlines and workload to prevent me from dying. Every single module I am taking now is nothing but gross. Gross workload, gross outline, gross level of difficulty. Sigh.

First two days of the week saw me completing three modules. Though my first two days are working days, I kind of prefer to clear more things in the earlier part of the week. Hopefully I did make the right choice. Wednesday saw me heading to Silly Boy's house after having breakfast at Long John Silver. Nuah-ed around for some time before doing some work. Gave the exchange briefing a skip because I think I want to clear more accounting mods in year 3 before I go off for exchange.

Today morning was terrible because Corp class was chim to the max. What makes it worse is that the Prof speaks at a really fast pace. There is no room for any day dreaming because I will be so lost after that. RAH. Headed home to nap and do finance after buying some nice stuff. Went back to school at night again for MPW group meeting. Luckily we did research at home so we saved alot of time and could discuss quite efficiently. There is this year 4 who offered to give me his corp stuff to help me. Hopefully he does remember to bring. haha. Thanks in advance!

All in all, the main point of this post is to show how much school really sucks. I can't emphasize that point anymore.

2010-01-02T04:13:00.000-08:00

2010.

Shag faces after squash

A new year. Went to play squash yesterday and I had a great time exercising at the courts. All the courts were fully booked so we had to wait for a while. Gosh, can't believe so many people were out playing squash and tennis on New Year's Day. Played for close to two hours and we felt so shiok after sweating it out for two hours. Got really tired and went to shower before heading down to Bishan for dinner. Chicken rice was good and silly boy actually ordered three plates of rice.Gosh, we had a hard time finishing it.

Went to walk around a bit and had a craving for chocolate cake, ice cream and chocolates. Ended up going to Macs for twister fries. Hopefully the exercise had been helpful. Felt really shag by the time we got home. How nice would it be if we could eat ice cream and watch dvd together. Haha

Stayed at home today and read a bit of GRA. It is crazy. I HATE SCHOOL!

2009-12-30T23:31:00.000-08:00

Bid goodbye to 2009.

Yesterday was a simple yet good day. Arranged to meet Zheya to get my MPW book before heading down to Ion to meet the tax babes. I was supposedly the latest but ended up appearing the earliest. LOL. Got suan-ed at because I had my MPW textbook with me at The Soup Spoon. Had a nice dinner treat and birthday cake from them. Thanks alot guys! But to our horror, they realised that AW got me a wallet for Christmas. Ahaha, so both the tax gang and AW were asking which one I would use. Thanks alot guys, I really love the birthday treat:)

Last day of the year and I have decided to post a last post before the new year comes. Year 2009. A year with many events, new experiences, learning points, and self-discovery. A year where a met many people, learn to grow in relationships and handle heavy workload at the same time.

The year starts off with a new term in school. Struggling with five mods was no easy task. Especially when many mods are so time consuming and heavy. Writing AW essays and squeezing out time for LTB commitment was no easy feat. That was the whole of my term 1. Nothing but work and meeting new people.

Then came summer holidays. I tried on different jobs and met Silly Boy. Accounting camp was quite fun too. Made new friends, enjoyed myself in camp and HTHT with Yu Ting and Yan Ru. Term 2 was tragic. Tax totally freaked me out and I never felt so stressed up before. The fear of not passing an accounting mod was really overwhleming. Yet, I was really glad to have people supporting me especially when things didn't go too well at times and I was really tired.

A whole year of work, break, crying and laughing. A have gained experience in another year. Be it good or bad, it has now come to an end. Thanks to all who have seen me through another year. Now, it is time to recharge and get ready for another year ahead:)

2009-12-29T22:35:00.000-08:00

Blessed 20.

Thank you to those for your birthday wishes. Cihui is now 20. Though it is just an increase in number, it does signifies a new phase of life.

Met Sheri on Saturday morning for breakfast at Long John Silver and the breakfast there was great. But the portion was really too huge to be finished. Thanks gf for your Mr Happy. It is happily siting on my bed now :) I hope you like my gift too.

Headed down to Toa Payoh on Sunday with Silly Boy and went back to the spot where we first met. On the way back, we saw some of his colleagues and chatted with a few of them. One of them even knew when my birthday was, haha. Walked around a bit and wanted to get a schedule book at first but silly boy stopped me. We then went to Chomp Chomp to have dinner. At first I thought was had to take a bus to Kovan before heading to Serangoon Gardens. In the end, I DISCOVERED a direct route there! *clap clap* Felt so proud of myself. LOL. Though we took some time to find a seat, the wait was worth it because the food was great. Stingray is highly recommended especially from the stall right in front. The Char Kway Teow was good too and the next table even asked us where we ordered it. We then walked around for some time and discovered a nice restuarant with great ambience. Totally enjoyed my Sunday evening:)

Monday was the 28th. Slept till quite late and headed down to town to meet the Finance textbook seller before going to Orchard for lunch and movie. Pasta at NYDC was great and we headed down to Borders to walk around. Since we had some time before the movies, we went to Starbucks near Shaw. Java Chip was wonderful and we read a book while drinking. Totally enjoyed the atmosphere of reading a book at a cafe with nice, cooling weather. Avatar followed after and it was a great movie! Storyline and graphics were good. I can't imagine how life would be if I had an Avatar body too.

Went down to Changi Airport with my family and had late dinner there. Close to supper to be exact. haha. Nice dinner,nice company, nice movie. That made my birthday a simply sweet day:)

2009-12-24T23:12:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas!

It is the season of Christmas again. Though it does mean that school is starting soon, I guess we shall enjoy this moment first. Met the GB gang for our annual gathering at Dempsey Hill Barracks's Cafe. I must really say that the food and ambience is so worth the walk up the hill. Haven't seen the five of them for one year already. Different people are at different stages of our lives; some are heading towards working direction while the others are still struggling in school. It has been a really fun time catching up and reminiscing the good old times of marching together. Exchanged gifts and headed down to town to meet silly boy.

We had dinner at the Glass House and I was practically freezing under the air-conditioner. Dinner was great as the food was good. We then walked to Orchard Road and chilled out at Orchard Central's Spinelli. Ice Chocolate was great but I couldn't drink much due to the female's problem that happens every 28 days. Thanks for your gift boy:) Headed home after that and received Gf and Tai Xin's Christmas cards. Thanks guys!

2009-12-22T18:55:00.000-08:00

It's time to get my ass onto the squash court and exercise:)

The few days were not too bad. Went to silly boy's house last Thursday and had really late lunch at KFC before getting Christmas cards. Silly boy has to write 36 cards at one shot. Poor thing, no wonder he fell asleep while writing halfway. That's the price that you have to pay for procrastinating. haha. Saturday saw us at AMK Hub and I saw the bag I wanted. Decided to save money and not buy it but it was a torture for me. I kept thinking: "The BAG is just THERE. GO GET IT". hahaha. Managed to psycho myself not to get it but I regretted it when I got home. I am so going to get it the next time I go there.

Met 06S41 peeps on Sunday night and many of them looked so different. Got a small handphone chain from Eugene as a Bday gift. Thanks boy:) Mum's birthday was on yesterday and I headed out to play squash in the afternoon. Surprisingly, many people were at the squash courts. We thought probably no one would be playing at this time. Had a go on squash and it was fun. Though I was running around like a noob, I could still whack a few balls with a combination of a few strokes. I guess people couldn't really tell if I was playing badminton, tennis, or squash.

I am aching all over now but I feel a bit healthier after exercising. Heading out later again to meet MA peeps and buy stuff.

2009-12-15T23:29:00.000-08:00

I am going to the zoo zoo zoo, what about you you you?

My first ever trip to Night Safari. Though I know I am sua ku but that's my goal for this holidays; to visit these places:) Headed down to Jurong Point first to shop around before heading to the zoo. It was raining really heavily that we thought we couldn't go at first. Luckily the rain stopped after dinner and there we go.

We walked through a bit of the leopard trail before stopping to watch the animal show. Some of the animals were really cute but the huge snake was really scary looking. After the animal show, we continued through our walk. But I got a bit scared of the dark and trees. The small little otters are really cute, totally reminded me of Young Saeng. Was really shagged by the time we finished walking through the entire Night Safari. We took 138 back and still made it in time to catch 165 back home from Ang Mo Kio. Poor silly boy though, you must have been really tired out by all the travelling. Thanks for the enjoyable time, another tick on my checklist:)

Can't wait for nice wanton noodles tomorrow:)

2009-12-12T23:20:00.000-08:00

I am loving my life for the moment:)

Holidays, though not doing much, I am learning to enjoy a slower pace of life which definitely comes as a luxury with the type of life we lead in SMU.

Met silly boy last Sunday to shop around and watch New Moon. Honestly, I feel that the movie is a waste of money. Totally don't know where is the plot, the action or even the love. Edward didnt event appear for more than half an hour. What is this man. Orchard Road is filled with Christmas Llightings at this point of time again and it feels good to see it. A snowy festive filled with love, warmth, and joy.

Met silly boy early in the morning on Thursday to bring sis to school and had very nice dumpling noodles at Lorong Ah Soo market. Feels good to be having breakfast early in the morning though we were both obviously eating with our eyes closed. Headed down to Silly boy's house for drama session. Friday saw the both of us shopping at Bugis Street. Wanted to get a small bag but it was the last piece :( Dinner at QQ noodles was good. Probably because I was really hungry. Haha. Shooped a bit more before heading to Starbucks to chill when I received a sms that made me scared. "Babes, Results are out at oasis". Felt very uneasy and checked it using silly boy's iphone. I totally thought I was in a dream when I saw my tax grade. LIKE OMG. until today I still wonder if Prof Khoo made a serious mistake in his marking. Wohoo, hopefully this ain't a dream and I do not need to rebid for tax again:)

I finally got my new Samsung Preston phone. Kind of glad but I need to get use to typing msges on a flat screen instead of the soft keypad that I have been using for the last 9 years of my life. haha. Off to explore and load stuff into my phone:)

2009-12-04T20:00:00.000-08:00

Holidays. Let's start off with our must-do list.

Headed to Clarke Quay with PS-wannabe gang after MA exam for some nice Jap ice cream dessert before going off to Vivocity to watch A Christmas Carol. Kind of boring and draggy and the best thig was, I didnt even know it was based on a Charles Dickens story that apparently many kids know but not me. Haha

Went over to silly boy's house on Wednesday to play World of Warcraft. Omo, till today I still cannot believe that I am actually playing this type of game. Thursday was stay-home day and I cleaned up the house, washed the clothes and ironed them up. Felt so proud of myself:) Headed to IKEA yesterday and it was great. Though we didn't see anything that we particularly like, it was a nice feeling walking around and having nice hotdog bun after that:) Went down to Tampines for some more walk around and bought some cards.

One check on the list. More to come:)

2009-11-17T04:24:00.000-08:00

This is the season to be mugging.

Screwed is the only word that can describe the situation I am in now. Seriously, exams are stressing me out and I am so afraid of failing. I don't understand a thing and I wonder how am I going to sit for the exams in this state.

Met Alfred for dinner on Sunday after mugging and was pleasantly surprised. A nice date before I spend my next two weeks mugging. Headed down to Downtown East and had buffet dinner. It pouring by the time we reached there and luckily we were sheltered by the time it rained.

We then cabbed down to Pasir Ris park and walked by the beach at night. We spotted many nice little pubs and restuarants. Nice place to have dinner and enjoy the night scenery and breeze by the beach. Should go there sometime :) Walking on the sandy beach at night was truly enjoyable. Feeling each other's company, the nice and cooling breeze and leaving our footprints behind. Thanks for the wonderful night:)

Can't meet Fran and Clar for movie this friday as I have to mug :( Shall make it up to them after my exams.

For now, Cihui, please chiong chiong chiong and mug mug mug!

2009-11-08T07:03:00.000-08:00

I have learn to be contented :)

It is weird how people always think that the grass at the other end is greener. Sometimes, we neglect and overlook what we have.

MC solo presentation was screwed. I think I am totally a goner for that. Met Jade, May May and Sheryl on Saturday afternoon and had lunch at Aston's. Headed to the National Museum of Singapore after that for our memorable birthday celebrations for them. Took many funny and weird pictures before heading to Fort Canning Park. Wanted to go into the Battle Box but we got freaked out by the door that opened on its own.

Headed home after the blast and met silly boy at 9 plus. Silly boy looks like a little boy in his army uniform and weird army hair cut. Poor reservists boy. Met boy for breakfast today before heading to his house to study. Can't believe that I am not going to see him for the next five days again. We went to Bedok 85 to have dinner and the funny thing was, my mum and dad were there for dinner too but we didn't see each other! Headed to NTUC to buy wantons and chocolate. Thank you so much dear:)

Sigh, so screwed for everything. I really need to stop slacking and work doubly hard now. Fighting!

2009-11-04T05:33:00.000-08:00

I am a busy bumble bee.

I am having nightmares with bidding again. Didn't get Corp reporting in the first round which means having to bid again in the next round. Oh wells.

These few days saw me having lots of thoughts about friendship and people. The thoughts came ever more intense after reading a really meaningful blog post. Grades and competitiveness seems to have blinded many of us, including myself. Sometimes it gets so tiring and I wonder what's the point of it. It is definitely important that we give off our best and try to do well. But at times, it does cause us to neglect priceless stuff around us which money and material things can never give us.

I guess I have learnt alot from many different people and many different incidents. Sometimes I can't help but wonder who is actually true to us, who is sincere, and who truly cares about us? Certain things that people say could be said without giving much thought but yet, when they keep putting stuff across in the same way, it just seem that they are so fake. Perhaps SMU truly open our eyes to the ugly side of society. Then again, it is time for me to learn to deal with all these.

Silly boy went back for reservists and I was doing work for the whole day. Prepared MC script, read MS and didn't understand a thing as usual, did MA and now, I should go back to MC again. Sians. So screwd for everything. Zzzzz.

Counting down to Sunday:)

2009-11-03T08:23:00.000-08:00

Great movie with hot female and male leads.

My Girlfriend is an Agent is definitely worth watching. Freaking funny comedy that is so enjoyable and is a stress reliever. The girl is seriously hot for her age. Totally chio.

Headed to Xin Wang to have dinner before going to get slippers. It seems like history when I have last been at Orchard Road on a Sunday to watch movie. Went home to do MC after that and now bidding is irritating the hell out of me.

MC presentation this week. Freaking scared and stress. Everything is coming at one shot.Can someone teach me how to handle it?

2009-10-31T07:09:00.000-07:00

Week 11.

Week of Hell and there is still more to come.

Stayed in school on Friday aftr Management Comms class till 8 pm just do nothing but tax and tax project alone. It is truly amazing how a Prof's statement can drive all of us crazy.

Compiled the report and edited it for 5 hours straight and I literally died in the GSR. Sheryl left half way to go to Night Safari to celebrate her birthday. Hope she remember what Jade and me told her and better catch a tiger back for us and set it on our best friend.

Finally submitted the report at 8 plus and headed off for dinner. Went to Curry Favor for dinner and the food was not bad. I kind of like the ambience and the waiter was super friendly and nice to us. Headed to buy nice stuff and went to have Ben Jerry's ice cream. Like again. haha. Finished a pint of B & J Cake Batter on Wednesday and here we are back in B & J again.

Walked around for a while before heading home.

Today is stay home and work day. Finished MC persuasive message exercise and MS homework. Feeling so nuah and slack now and it is irritating to know that there is still another pile of shit waiting for me to clear.Rah, when is all these going to end?

Ben and Jerry is love :)

2009-10-27T09:15:00.000-07:00

What's important?

Had MA test today. Last test for MA before we sit for the final examination. I really didn't understand the few topics that were tested. Everything is confusing me. Maybe I am just not working hard enough. On the other hand, I am glad that is over. At least one thing is off my mind for a moment. Now I have to get ready to fight a battle with million assignments, projects, and screwed up grades. Cihui needs to pull up her socks sky high!

MS meeting was short and sweet as we all did our work and ended up checking that we got the answers and concept on the same track. Met Alfred for dinner and movie session after that.

My Sister's Keeper.

That was indeed a great movie. Great story to be exact. It was really touching and there were so many thought provoking issues. In fact, the story does teach us to not take certain things for granted and sometimes, what is important is that we are able to experience certain things at least once in our life even though we might not be able to possess what we really wanted for eternity. I was really touched by the show. Almost cried but managed to hold back my tears. Became a bit emo after that for no reason.

Went to some office before heading to Carrefour to buy chocolates and campbel soup. Really long and tired weeks that I have gone through. I really need a break now. A nice break for me to recharge before I really die.

2009-10-20T04:43:00.000-07:00

Sick. Tired. Stress.

Gosh, feeling really unwell and yet there is still so much to do. Stayed up till 1 plus a.m. to prepare for MA presentation and ended up waking up with a bad sore throat and felt a little feverish. Going to die soon.

Headed to school and the weather killed me. It was super hot and I thought I evaporated from the surface of this Earth when I was standing at the traffic light. Got totally confused and lost during MA class. Sigh.

Went to have a quick bite at Pasta Mania after MS meeting and headed home. I think I am so going to drink herbal tea as plain water.

I am glad you have always been there.

2009-10-17T01:12:00.000-07:00

Supposed to be doing work now but I have no idea why I am slacking here. I am counting down and yet not counting down till night time today.

The past few days have been really draining for me and I was glad to have gone shopping with Yuting after MA meeting yesterday. I bought a xiao mei mei dress while Yuting got a nice top. There are so many things that I want to buy. Accessories, shoes, and bags. But I am like so broke after shopping as well as buying gifts.

We had nice noodles at QQ Noodle House before training home. There was this really steady guy who brought a drink from Macs into the train and he was happy sucking his drink his drink away as if the fine doesn't matter if he gets caught. I felt bitchy when I was telling Yuting this. Haha.

I was really tired when I got home and tried to start a little on MA presentation script. Alfred called from Malaysia and I think his handphone bill for this month just exploded because we are on the phone for 1 hour plus. Hopefully everything will be fine today though.

I am so stressed up by all my school work now. MA test, Income Tax Quiz, Managament comm assignment and soslo presentation. I GOING TO DIE OF STRESS AND CUINESS :(

It has been lingering at the back of mind all these while. I need more time.

2009-10-13T07:53:00.000-07:00

You belong with me.

The past few days were my self declared mid term break after tax mid term test and before the horror starts when I have to face the music when I get back to school. Week 9 officially started for me today and first up is Management Accounting class. Seriously thought that I would fail the previous test but I managed to pass :) Prof Yuen is seriously a very interesting prof to be studying under. Somehow, she just makes the whole lesson very enjoyable with her own jokes even though I am always turning into a big fat question mark when she goes through chim stuff

Met Ching Soon for movie session after class and watched "Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs". It is seriously good and funny. A comedy that will help you relieve stress and yet there are some issues that are thought provoking. Sometimes, when the whole world turn their back against you or do not support your dreams and passion for certain things, we do doubt if we are suited for certain stuff or even right to hang on to it. When we are faced in such a situation, do we still follow our heart?

Met Alfred for dinner after that and went to develop pictures before he heads off for Malaysia tomorrow. Fattening dinner at KFC before heading home to complete MA project stuff. I seriously feel that I am like the owrse performer in the whole group. Hopefully I don't bring the whole group down and I will try my best not to be. Ok, I shall stop slacking and go back to MA now.

But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You, you belong with me, you belong with me

Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

(500) days of Summer.

Good movie. Thought provoking. That's what that ran through our minds after we walked out of the theatres. I was really glad to have taken time off to watch it and not having work on my mind for one day.

I sprained my toe. How dumb. Fell outside the toilet and sat on my own feet. I hope my toe is still intact.

Met Alfred at AMK Hub yesterday for dinner first before catching the show at 9.30 pm. Anderson's ice cream was great at our usual spot. Then I realised how sinful it was as we had Ben & Jerry's the day before. OMO! I am so going to abstain from ice cream for the next two weeks or something. Rum & Raisin and Danish Nougat were really good. Yummy. Sinful but how I love indulging myself, but you are so going to spoil me.

Went to shop around then headed for movie session. The movie has its own sense of humour here and there and before you know it, boy meets Autumn. When people hold hands and kiss but say that they are friends.... that was really thought provoking. Labels do matter afterall even though we are heading towards a less conservative direction. It gives people a sense of security and direction to know where they are heading towards in a relationship.

Reached home at about 12 and silly boy has to cab home again. Headed to bed early after showering and checking emails. Today's going to be work day. Shall kick start on my projects. I am like so screwed :(

When you look into my eyes, when you whisper that into my ears, when I fall asleep in your arms, that's when time comes to a standstill and all I can hear is your breath and your heartbeat.

A break.

Felt really drained out over the past few weeks. As I scroll down the page, I realised my previous posts were all nothing but rantings. After all these weeks, I am seriously drained. It is really tiring to face everything, learn to be strong, and at the same time try to look all right when I am outside.

Yesterday's tax paper was really crazy. I couldn't believe that I spent my whole mid term week studying for tax alone. But then again,I still screwed it up. I seriously hope that the prof will give me lots of sympathy marks to let me pass. Had MA meeting till about 9 pm after that. Felt so shag and hungry. Headed to Asian Kitchen for dinner then went to have Ben & Jerry. Really sinful but the ice cream was really great :)

I was thinking if I should start on MA and Tax project today but I seriously need a break. Shall rest today and start tomorrow when I am more focused. Off to iron more clothes before catching a movie. Sheesh,what a slacker I am.

2009-10-09T09:50:00.000-07:00

SO DEAD! SO SCREWED! I SHOULD QUIT SCHOOL!

Cihui is so freaking screwed as usual.

Had a surprised tax quiz on thursday which I know I am so going to get zero. MA tests, MS mid term, MC presentation and assignment, FT mock interview, tax mid term. Cihui, GG! Ah, and here I am slacking. Seriously, I am goner. I should probabaly quit school soon.

Had Thai Express and Xin Wang yesterday for dinner and dessert. All the fats. Oh wells, but at least we felt really satisfied in that three hours.

2009-09-15T19:56:00.000-07:00

I am a slacker.

I just realised it has been a long time since I last blogged properly. Many things have happened, many emotions felt, and many confusions. I know I am supposed to focus on my work but sometimes, my mind just drifts to where it wants to go. Cihui, please FOCUS!

The past few days have found me siting on a roller coaster. Emotions went up and down and somehow I am at a lost as to what to do and how to react. I know we are just shoving the problem to one side hoping that it will not surface anytime. But then again, it is still there. Argh. It is taking on a toll on me both mentally and physically.

I went back to school on Saturday evening to do my resume and cover letter. Seriously, I am screwed. Submitted whatever I had done on Monday and Tuesday was both a good and bad day. I was feeling so shag and my mind was completely spaced out during class and during MS group discussion. So sorry girls, I guess I was really tired. Stayed for a while to read MS after the discussion before meeting Alfred for dinner. Satisfied my craving for Creamy Chicken Pasta and headed back to Hougang Mall to get a file for my Income Tax Act. I had to buy a ring file because the Income Tax Act is THAT thick. Went to Yakun to read MS before heading home for MC online meeting.

There are so many things to do but yet so little time. It is time to work much harder Cihui. I guess I will listen to you and not think about anything except for my work. Settle it first and all things can come later.

Yes,Cihui, focus and work harder. Stop being a slacker.

2009-09-08T22:09:00.000-07:00

I am really thankful for all help people have been giving me for the past few days. I really appreciate it and all the encouragement is what has been keeping me going. GO GO GO Cihui!

2009-09-01T19:17:00.000-07:00

School and life hasn't been treating me well. Being sick and drowning in a sea of question marks about virtually everythig that the profs are going through now makes it worse. Perhaps I should start chewing and swallowing the Income Tax notes, MA textbook, Income Tax Act to digest whatever has been gone through. Too many things have happened. Too many things to rethink about. I need to get away.

Shall start to formulate a plan for my life and rethink about my values again.

I seriously can't wait for December.

2009-08-27T02:33:00.000-07:00

School sucks to the max.

Everything is freaking the shit out of me. Income tax and GST is really TAXING and I can't believe the prof actually printed "I Love Tax" on his slides. All the accouting mods are basically build on FA knowledge. Irritating to the max. I would probably need Prof Gan to sit beside me for all accounting modules to refresh my memory about FA. Oh wells. I wonder when all these ranting will stop. Before I forget, THANK YOU to everyone who has been offering their help in one way or another!

2009-08-19T00:54:00.000-07:00

School has officially started.

The routine of squeezing myself onto the crowded MRT train on a Monday morning has started. A nightmare in store for me. Stress level is building up within me and I am feeling so lost. Life's a bitch.

2009-08-14T06:21:00.000-07:00

Two more days to Doomsday.

School reopening = top up your Kopitaim Card and prepare to spend your life no where but only in school. I really hate how time in school passes so slowly while time during holidays just goes by like that.

Met Gerald on Wednesday to catch G.I Joe and the movie was great! I didn't know that Lee Byung Hyun plays a role in that movie too. I was commenting that he looks hot and Gerald jut has to pour a cold bucket of water over me by saying that he looks like Bruce Lee. -.-

Met Girlfriend for shopping session on Thursday. We went back to school to get her textbook first before heading to Bugis. I bought a notebook from Artbox and I love it. Shall get the other designs another day. Before I get trapped in the scary world of SMU, I shall go back to my shows and have a laugh at Dolly Leeteuk. :)

2009-08-06T06:40:00.000-07:00

There is something wrong with blogger these days.

Have been spending my few days out. Shall enjoy my holidays well before school officially starts. Went out with mum and aunt on Tuesday to shop for shorts and top. Had MOS for lunch and it was really filling. I couldn't finish everything so most of the fries went to my mum and aunt. There was this funny roadshow thingy at AMK Hub and when the guy tried to stop me, I was totally reminded of Alfred. haha. I gave the "I am not interested in whatever you want to sell" face and he stopped bugging me. I guess I looked really scary and fierce.

Went to back to school on Wednesday to get some textbooks. To make myself feel better, I should think in this way. Buying texbooks = investments for my future. Headed down to TM after that and chilled out at Starbucks. Had nice ice blended mocha before heading to Ramen Ten for "dinner". Didn't eat much because we were freaking full and we headed to watch The Hangover. Omo,the show is freaking good for those who just wants a comedy to laugh their heads off without thinking much. I enjoyed it and went home feeling satisfied.

I woke up super early today at 9 plus because I had to meet my aunt at Bugis. Mum and me were yawning non-stop throughout the entire train journey. Went to shop around but didn't find anything we like. I went to trim my hair after that and honestly, I don't think I will ever have the courage to cut my hair short because I felt sad even trimming my hair shorter by 1.5 inch. LOL.

Shall go back to watching funny shows and videos.

2009-08-02T00:23:00.000-07:00

Nothing beats watching fireworks with them.

My room is in a mess. All that notes and worksheets from the previous term is taking up space on my bookshelf and all those textbooks are collecting dust. Can't wait to sell them off and get money.

I finally finished reading the book that Gerald has lent me. Indeed, reading needs to be done at the right time and right mood so as to have a better feel of the plot and language. I can't believe that I actually got quite interested in reading that I headed to the library and borrown a couple of books to read. hahaha. Hm, there is something wrong with Cihui.

Met the BGS crazy gang yesterday and as expected, we did brainless stuff again. We slacked at Cathay sometime and I was practically out with three aliens. Gladys cut her fringe into bangs and sad to say, her bangs were not straight and that upsetted her. Jun Kit has been doing minimal work for his OCIP that everyone agreed was the cause of him putting on so much weight. Calvin FINALLY WAXED his hair because of all the setbacks he had when being mistook for a PRC during his CIP event. I was the only normal human being there.

We went to have dinner at Xin Wang Taiwan and ended up tlaking cock there for quite some time before heading to Esplanade area. Jun Kit went home to sleep as a result of serious lack of sleep from att the FTB camps. The rest of us found a cosy spot to sit at and watched a band perform all the MIcheal Jackson songs and they sounded really awesome. Just when we thought that the NDP people might save on fireworks during the preview, BOOM! it all happened right in front of us. Freaking awesome and beautiful view. I was awed for half a minute because it just happened right in front of us. However, some black stuff started falling on all of us and we suspect it was from the fireworks. That just goes to show how near we were from the spectacular scene.

Headed to Raffles City for float before heading home to chit chat with peeps. Seriously, nothing beats what I saw that night. I am a happy girl yesterday:)

2009-07-29T05:53:00.000-07:00

This Summer.

Sometimes I can't help but wonder if there is something seriously wrong with this summer.

I was supposed to meet Gerald yesterday but he fell sick so meet up was cancelled. Met up with Yu Ting at night as originally planned and it was an awesome HTHT session through the night. Honestly, I was really shocked by many things that I happened to find out yesterday night. Many things that I heard were information that I totally needed time to digest. In fact, I was surprised at how certain girls could actually behave at their age. What are they thinking? What do they take relationships for? Seriously, I don't understand them. At all. But then again, who am I to judge others?

Yesterday night really started me thinking about many things. Values and beliefs. Perhaps I should really change my way of looking at certain things. It seems as though what we have always been firmly standing on may not be exactly what it is i reality. Brought Yu Ting to have nice dessert and the ambience was definitely good. Shall give some credit to Eugene for recommending such a nice place. A place with nice ambience really helps in getting one to feel comfortable to share thoughts that could have been buried so deep within one's mind or heart. I totally love the HTHT we had yesterday night:)When all else fails, place your trusts in your friends and family members.

We left the place at about 1030 pm and I was energetic again after bathing. Then it was Alfred's turn to emo. This summer should probably be known as emo-summer. Hm... Oh wells. I guess when life gives us shit at times, we just have to learn to accept it. Cheer up peeps:)

Seeming and being are two different matters.

2009-07-25T02:36:00.000-07:00

Shopping, chilling, and movie.

I have been out almost everyday for the past few days. Shall start from Wednesday. Mum and me waited for youngest sis to end school before heading to AMK for lunch at Macs. Shopped at G2000 for formal wear and we met Auntie Helen there. We didn't know that she has been working there all these while. It has been years since I last saw her. Anyway, bought a set of formal wear since there was a 50% sale and we got another 15% discount on top of that thanks to Auntie Helen. Sis and me went to catch Harry Potter after which and I thought it was not oo bad just that there was really little focus on the "half-blodd prince part". I think that Rupert Grint is really cute. Even though he doesn't have outstanding features, his silly and innocent look certainly forms part of his charisma.

Thursday was another day out with Mum. We headed down to Tampines for some random shopping and bought one more formal top from G2000 and a bag from Charles and Keith. Seriously, I need to stop spending money and start saving up. Friday was kind of "slacking around at home" day. Thanks to the movie that I was going to watch at 920 pm, I couldn't meet Yu Ting for dinner because time was kind of short. I watched "The Haunting in Connecticut" at cine and luckily it wasn't scary. It was just a bit gross at some scenes but I think it was one of the not-so-scary horror movies I have watched so far. Went to meet my management comms textbook seller earlier on before heading down to town AGAIN to meet Eugene. I can't believe I was at the same area for two days in a row. Eugene brought me to this nice Jap restaurant and the food was really good. Had their pasts gratin and tried abit of their blueberry cheesecake. I am so going to go back for more of their cheesecake. Felt really tired because I couldn't sleep last night. Something is really wrong with my bio clock. Shall find time to adjust it back to normal again.

Sometimes we get blinded by material things that we forget who we are and what we truly want. It is time to look back into my heart again.

2009-07-19T21:43:00.000-07:00

Work is tiring as usual but fun:)

This time round, Cihui became a flyer distributor for SingTel. I think I repeated the phrase "Hello! SingTel Promotion Special. Last day today" for about a million times yesterday. Standing under the hot sun distributing flyers is no joke man. Kudos to Ken Ken who managed to tahan for two full days. Met Ken Ken and her bf at Toa Payoh hub at about 11 plus before changing to the typical BRIGHT red SingTel Mio shirt. Within the eight hours of work, I have seen all sorts of weird people. Some people are really dao when you hand out flyers to them and I think it is karma because I usually smile at these flyer distributors but don't take these flyers from them.

After about two hours, Ken and me went for a break at KFC. Almost fell asleep under the nice air con before going for the second round of distribution. There was this weird don't know uncle or auntie (can't tell the gender) who suddenly approached me and asked if I was interested in distributing newspaper at Bishan area early in the morning. I was like !!!!!!!!!! Isn't that a guys job and plus I can't really wake up that early these days. So weird. Then came this pair of street survey peeps. Since they helped to take my brochure, I had to help them do a short survey. -.- Ended up talking cock with them and making friends with the "I am from Prudential" person.

Took another short break after that and went to buy nice "on the scooter ice cream" with Ken. Haha, what a slack job man. Apart from the fact that we have to stand for some many hours and face weird people, this is quite a fun job. Headed hom after which and watched part 2 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. HAHA. Wanted to sleep early but ended up chatting with Alfred till 3 am. Shag sia. Shall try to sleep early tonight.

CHILL OUT TIME:)

Yesterday night was fun fun fun fun even though I was feeling really tired. Met Clar and Fran for dinner at Makan Sutra. Even though it was crowded, we managed to find seats. The scenery at night by the bay was definitely awesome. We did some camwhoring before heading to the rooftop bar. However, most of the seats were taken so we walked to Clarke Quay instead. Mind you, the walking route there was a really good exercise to shake off some fats.

Decided to go to Fashio Bar to drink because it was less crowded. The Mango Margarita was much stronger than those served at the rooftop bar. Nuah around on the comfy couch before shifting to another seat because the speaker was blasting music in our ears. Played with Clar's iTouch before heading home due to uncontrollable shagness.

Went to town today. Walked around aimlessly so I got abit irritated. Found a nice cafe to chill out at and I ordered sandwiches. The food was not bad because the portion was right:) I didn't notice the SuJu poster stuck on the wall till we were about to leave. Cool poster they have got. Headed home after that and seriously, how many million times does Channel 5 wants to show prisoner of azkaban?! I think all the viewers can practically memorise the script by now.

[RAH, I want to kope this]

All right, working tomorrow. Shall be a good girl and rest a bit earlier tonight. Just a teeny winny bit:)

Absolut' U '09. Absolute Fun.

Back from Asoc '09 camp and it was quite fun. Camp started on sunday (what a weird timing) but we stayed over on saturday night to help tp pack the logs stuff and be briefed on what is going to happen the next day. Shu Fang, Jed, Yu Ting, me and Nadzirah went for Tau Huay Supper at midnight before heading back to school to sleep. Woke up at 7 plus the next day with my eyes half open to help out at the finance booth. Freshies started coming in from 8 onwards and saw some familiar faces. We got to slack till about 12 plus to draw logs as the station games will only officially start at 2. The station game that Linda and me were handling was called "Pesky Roaches". Some freshies really found the game pointless and one guy even said what the fuck loudly. Oh wells. haha. However, some groups had really enthusiastic facilitators that came up with damn funny forfeits for the losing team and those were the teams that truly enjoyed themselves.

My randomania station was practically a horror for the freshies. Some groups even avoided my station so as not to drink the horrible stuff. Julius only realised that much later and change the point system for that station to attract people to come and play and surprisingly it worked. Some groups took a really long time to add the various ingredients into the drink and it seems like they were taking forever. Some squeezed the mayo into the drink bit by bit such that the mayo ended up looking like maggots floating on coke and stuff. Clearing up the place was a chore because all the different stuff were dripping all over the bench. That ended the first day of camp and all the game masters were so shagged that we just headed to a GSR to sleep without supper.

Second day was sentosa day and I was burnt terribly. Some freshies were quite nuah as they didn't want to get wet nor go into the sea. While waiting for other teams to arrive, Linda, Yu Ting and me were siting on the beach and suddenly I got carried up by anonymous freshies and faci and almost got dunk. Luckily Linda came to my rescue and I was left safe. haha. It is so scary how people can creep up behind you without you knowing. After one whole day at Sentosa, a group of us headed to have have prata for supper and the cheese mushroom prata was great. Love the teh peng too:) After being fed, we felt charged up and a few of us went to crash a few SRs. Some guy in my junior's group got really drunk and he was blabbering nonsense throughout. Heard that he almost got into a fight with another faci. Omo, so scary! haha. Had HTHT with Yan Ru in some GSR before sleeping at 630 am. Woke up at 815 am and had breakfast before going home. Slept for the whole afternoon and now I am still feeling really tired. I think i need another two full nights of sleep before returning to my normal mode. Can't wait for meet ups with dearies now that camp is over.

2009-07-09T08:10:00.000-07:00

Had a splitting headache for one whole day. It sucks when the time of the month id drawing near. I am on a hunt for my magazine now. Haven't been able to find it at various places. Perhaps I should check kino out. Rah, hopefully I can find it soon.

SS501's solo album collection MVs are all out. Whee. Enjoyed watching it but was confused about the plot. Guns and cars zooming around in the MV. I like the one that Hyun Joong has. Kind of cool but I was just thinking why Kyu Jong got a "like any other car" type of car. Jung Min's car was not bad just that it is in a weird colour. haha.

Going out with mum tomorrow and she says I should rest early. However, my bio clock is so spoilt that early means 1 am. Maybe the splitting headache will help me to sleep early tonight. Wohoos

Bidding is over.

I have to count myself lucky to get my bids in first round. Planning on what modules to take and whether the combinations are good or not are really taxing on the mind. Different people give different advice and I really get confused. Glad that someone pointed out to me the question: "What's the rationale behind choosing the number of mods and the mods that I plan to bid for"

Mum and sis always say that I do not have a mind of my own and I am always easily swayed by what others say. Perhaps it is the fear of making the wrong decisions, the fear of lagging behind, the fear of everything that are making me reliant on others. In short, I am a coward like what my sis says. I think it would be a good idea to sign myself up for some military training so that I can train myself to make decisions on my own and learn to take care of myself without always trying to rely on others. Time to learn to make my own decisions and face up to it whether it is good or not. That's how I will learn in life.

Yesterday could be considered a happy day. Sis treated us to donuts and I love the Starry Night chocolate. The star flakes on the donut were really pretty, resembling those that shine brightly in the night sky. How I wish to spend a night under such a pretty sky.

[They taste especially nice because it was a treat from sis]

Waited for both sis to end school before going to hougang mall for lunch together yesterday. The tepanyaki there taste really good though. Shall have it again the next time. Went to stock up some grocceries with mum and headed home before heading to Thomson for dinner. As I had late lunch, I only ordered siew mai and lemon tea for dinner. Though the place looked really old, it is like those tyical nice dim sum stall that serves all sorts of nice pastries and dim sum etc. I am so going back there again for more nice food.

Wanted to go somewhere that serves dessert and found a nice cafe by the name of "cheeky chocolates". The ambience there is nice man, better than ice cube if you want to chill out at somewhere that is more quiet. This is the type of cafe that I dream of having :) I saw the cakes on display when I walked in and decided to order that instead of the usual waffle ice cream stuff. The waiter was really nice and funny. He was recommending this cake and that cake with enthusiasm and said "it looks very tempting to have everything right?". Hahaha, yes, indeed ver tempting and I think he wants to eat all the cakes there too.

[My final decision - Strawberry Blackforest]

I am so going back for more nice desserts and explore the other restuarants/cafe/eateries available when I have the opportunity again.

Somtimes it really sucks to feel that some people take us for granted. Then again, there are also people around who really appreciate us for who we are.

[ I am who I am :)]

2009-07-05T08:54:00.000-07:00

Life's a bitch when it somes to bidding.

Clearing 4.5 mods instead for next term. The only benefit of clearing more mods now is if I ever go on exchange, I can transfer the minimum credits required and enjoy my time in a foreign place. Thinking of bidding just stresses me thoroughly. When school starts, the mods are going to stress me further.

Today's weather was rather cooling. It rained for the whole afternoon and I just love staying at home and do nothing but watch TV when it is storming non stop outside. Harry Potter is going to be out soon! Can't wait man. Can't wait to meet dearies too!

[Wuss Up]

2009-07-03T00:11:00.000-07:00

It's weird.

The human heart and mind are indeed one of the toughest nuts to crack on earth. Sometimes we do not even know why we think and act in a certain way. Heard that someone committed suicide over conflicts with peers. I guess some friends are just passerbys, some stay forever while some are not even friends to start with. Sometimes you do not receive how much you give to others and those whom you stand by may not be the ones who are there when you need them most. I guess that's life.

Bidding frenzy is up again. It is irritating to think about what mods to take and what profs to bid for. Another term ahead, another four mods to clear, another three exams to take and another term of hectic and challenges to face.

Cihui shall learn to stand firm on her beliefs, not be swayed by others, and not follow the crowd blindly.

2009-06-28T21:35:00.000-07:00

Learning Points.

Sometimes I truly feel that camps have in store many great learning points for us. Though it may be a short two days one night or slightly longer three days 2 nights, every little planning and details have many stuff for us to learn from. Most improtantly, I guess I have learn to come to see many things with an open mind.

Super Junior and SS501 were in Taiwan for the past few days. SuJu and SS501 fans are indeed efficient. They posted so many videos of their performances in Taiwan like in less than 24 hours from their actual performances. People like me of course benefitted from their efficicnecy and both bands performed all the nice songs I like. I was quite surprise that SuJu was actually invited to perform at Taiwan Golden Melody Awards and there is this member who totally knows how to speak chinese fluently.

Started to watch the episode of WGM on Kangin upon recommendation by Fiona and it is quite entertaining. All right, shall start scheduling my time properly again for the next few weeks and can't wait to see dearies again.

When things don't go right at times, I just have learn to face it all by myself. Challenge.

2009-06-27T00:17:00.000-07:00

Back from camp. Burnt, shag but fun.

2009-06-21T08:17:00.000-07:00

Yes, I am in deep thoughts too. It is weird how I emo easily especially when it is late at night. How vulnerable I get, with random thoughts that go through my mind, weird phrases that I will use and regret the next morning. Perhaps the night always make me irrational. Perhaps, I should stay away and just be alone at night, enjoying the night breeze by myself, enjoying the time spent with no one except the soul of my own.

Had great dinner with my family today. Though simple, it warmed my heart that is made of stone. Sent my phone for servicing because I just realised that it is still under warranty. The lady that served me was really nice! It is really hard to find people with such good customer service especially having worked as a sales promoter myself before. Only able to collect my phone next thursday :( Ordered the SMUX biking shirt and I didn't know the words at the back is supposed to form a figure. And according to Marcus, I MIA-ed. Yeah man, just realised I disappeared from all the biking events after Intro Ride in January. Haha, And he claims that the biking shirt is designer shirt. -.- Gosh, he is really one comical figure.

Mock camp next week. Time really flies and I think I am not ready for anything.

[HAHA]

The defining moment.

Went to Ice Cube yesterday night. the atmosphere was weird. Words that I can't seem to get out of my mouth face to face. Afraid to hurt anyone, afraid that friendship will be lost, afraid of being labelled as a bitch, afraid of the unknown. Wasn't in the best of mood when I left my house. I am sorry if my attitude was bad. But, there was nothing I could do. On the other hand, I was glad that I managed to clarify everything. Whatever it is, I am moving on. Sometimes guy girl stuff really sucks. Probably that's the reason why I am enjoying being alone and perhaps that's the reason why I am always selfish. Time to move on with my life and learn to live even more independently. Last but not least, Thank you.

GB trios:)

How I love meeting them for lunch man. Fran was late so Clar and I had to wait for the Queen's arrival before having lunch at Shaw. Had Pasta Mania and of course, I ordered creamy chicken. Haven't had it for a long long time even though there is a Pasta Mania outlet just situated at Hougang Mall. I was the cheese monster for the day while Clarissa was the Chilli flakes monster.

Bade goodbye to Clarissa and she went back to her office to slack while I went to get my bubble tea with Fran before heading to CityLink to settle my caps and shop at Prints for Fran's notebooks. Felt really tired after lunch, the after-lunch-nap syndrome seemed to have hit hard on me. Yesterday's lunch really brought up my mood a little. :)

I need a new bag. I hope that there is some problem with the bank and someone will deposit money into my account miraculously. Haha, and probably I will be asked to assist in investigation for bribery and corruption.

[Can't wait :)]

Ain't this pretty?

Cihui thinks that it is time to start walking away. She is sick and tired of all these shit.

Thoughts.

I was watching my video on youtube and out of the blue, I had random thoughts and the urge to type it out. It is weird how people like me will emo especially in the night when the rest of the family is sleeping. Perhaps being alone, awake at night allows me to sit there and think about certain things clearly.

Watching different people, having the experience of working and standing by family and friends made me think alot about how I should be. People relationships are not easy stuff to manage. People whom you support may not always stand by you. Those whom stand by you might be taken for granted just because they are always there. I guess a new life challenge for myself is to not fall into any two of the categories as a friend or family member. I guess it is how much we can give to others that will ultimately matter in life. At least, at the end of it, we can say that we have done our best.

If that's what God has planned for me, I will accept it and do it well.

Asia Tour Asia Tour Asia Tour.

How I love it man.

It was hell watching "Drag me to hell". It is so freaking scary. hahaha, The plot is good but the effects were really frightening. The same old quiet-at-first-then-BOOM! effect that freaks you out of your seat. The visual effects of the freaky old lady was also scary to the max. This show is definitely not for the weak hearted like me. Watching it was if I was on a roller coaster ride. Some scenes were gross too and I made a wrong decision to eat hello panda biscuits while watching. Most of the time I was laughing with the other people in the cinema at our own stupidity of being scared.

Got my cap from NUM. Shall stop spending money and save up:) Headed back to Hougang for dinner with sis at Hougang Mall and had green bean soup for supper. Seriously, when is cihui going to stop eating like some gorilla?

Catching GF's performance later:)

Coward.

Yes, that's what I am.

Met girlfriend for movie and shopping date yesterday and it was great. Watched Ghosts of Girlfriends past and it was good. Perhaps playboys should start watching that and change their perspective of stuff. The cinema was really crowded though, like fully seated and all. Combed almost the entire area of town and got small stuff and had nice egg wrapped carrot cake.

Sometimes it is so funny that how we can't explain certain stuff. Sudden emo-ing and feeling down for no reason. Just feeling super sian and nuah. Oh wells.

[Nuahing with style]

Hopefully shopping later will make me happier. If not, I will need to find a hole to hide tonight.

Sometimes I just can't explain why.

Identity Crisis.

Sometimes, you just need to be alone. I don't know if it is PMS or what but my mood seems to be on a roller coaster ride. It is high at times and yet, low at other times.

Went to catch Monsters versus Aliens yesterday at Bugis (yes, Bugis yet again) and it turns out to be quite funny. The monsters are kind of adorable and comical and I totally find that Derrick character and true blue bastard. But then again, how many of us can accept our the other half as who he/she is when they turn into a gigantic monster. Headed to some shop after which to have curry fish head before walking around at Bugis street.

Luckily I didnt touch much of the curry fish head as I ended up having ice cappucino float when I headed off for supper at Mr Bean's cafe. I was really shagged but once I got home and bathed, hahaha, I felt so energetic and it was entertainment show time on youtube. I got quite freaked out by the cult group video thing and it is so scary to see how humans treat the others inhumanely! Got freaked out and couldn't get to sleep. OMO! Lesson learnt: Never watched such freaky shows late at night anymore, unless you don't intend to sleep and have a strong heart!

DECEMBER!

It came over me in a rush, when I realised that I..

2009-06-08T00:17:00.001-07:00

People who sleep can have dreams. People who do not sleep can realise their dreams.

If this is accurate, I would have realised millions of dreams for the past term with that serious lack of sleep.

Slacking at home everyday and doing nothing is kind of boring. Luckily I have my favourite MVs and shows online to entertain myself for the time being. Haven't been using my brain for the past two months and I think it is degenerating rapidly. I am totally in love with the MVs 4 chance and Deja Vu. The guys look great in their classy shades and dance movements. Shall go back to watching them again. :)

[The temperature in here is rising]

Challenged.

GSS is love and life for me but hate and enemy for my bank account. When I worked at Expo, I couldn't believe I spent half a day's pay in three minutes just by picking up an item and going to the cashier. GSS is so scary! hahaha. Went to Bugis today to get my shades and watched State of Play. Seriously, I don't know if I am really stupid or what because the plot is so chim. I only know there is some business/commercial plan thingy to change or harm certain stuff and half the time I am left siting with question marks in the theatre. I watched the movie at Iluma's Film Garde and the threatres there are not bad just that they really blast the air con. If you are catching a movie there, remember bring something to cover yourself if not you will end up paying to shiver non stop in the enclosed cinema.

Headed to Breko Cafe to have dinner and saw Valerie there! OMO, I was so glad she could still remember and recognise me. Heard that Valentia went overseas. How long has it been since I last saw these lovely peeps that I once march side by side under the hot sun with. The bakeed rice there is really great and I quite like the ambience at night. Not too crowded. Headed home after that and mum and dad bought two big packs of durian. Now the whole house reeks of durian and I think it will take a few days before the smell goes off. I should start considering camping at the corridor for the next few nights. Can't wait for more meet ups with dearies and shopping!:)

Let's start dancing to the rythmn.

[How I love these five boys:)]

Life of a Maid.

Now I have returned to my life of a maid at home. The house is practically in a mess. Floor waiting to be vacuumed and mopped, clothes to be washed, dried and ironed and sisters waiting to be fed. Oooh hoo, everyone's out so who's left to settle these stuff? ME. -.-

I am so going to choke up electricity bills for the next few weeks again. I need to go shopping soon and get my shades, tops and accessories! Can't wait. I need afreaking money tree that photosynthesizes money every single second without stopping! Wanted to read up more about SNU and KUBS business courses but kind of lazy man. Shall read again when I feel abit more hardworking (which I doubt I will ever be). haha

The new cool is to start dancing in business suits:)

2009-06-02T09:02:00.000-07:00

I survived and now it is time to pamper my legs.

Ooh hoo, I survived the past five days! I am really dying from all that standing for five days and nine hours each day. It is enough to kill. Luckily I had some experience before and this time round wasn't as bad as the very first time when I worked.

From this working experience,I have got to see many different sides of shoppers and I have definitely learnt to be a better shopper in future and not give sales promoters so much problems. haha

Interesting Facts and questions encountered:

Question 1:
Does this look good on me?
Me thinking to myself:
DUH, I am selling this, of course I will say yes so that you will buy from me.

Question 2:
Does this spoil easily after washing?
Me thinking to myself:
If I say yes, will you still buy it from me?

Question 3:
Why the sides of the merchandise are designed to be so thick?
Me thinking to myself:
Hello, like how I know, the factory made it like that and just sent to me to sell.

Interestng Facts:

1. Free size = Same size
2. There are many pregnant women in Singapore this summer.
3. There are definitely no good looking guys in Singapore to bio when you are working.
4. NewUrbanMale has consignee stores in John Little. I know I am slow in knowing that.

Made a few friends while working so it was a nice experience for the past five days. At least I had some company at Expo thanks to working at White Sands.

I just need to hang on there, for another period of time, before I leave this place and start afresh. Hang in there.
