Warlords and Indians...

Jason and I woke up today with insistent phone calls from Rajwin reminding us that we had a movie plans with them today, which Jason and I totally didn't recall making. After which, Jason and I decided to battle 1.5hr city traffic to get to Lido to meet up with Rajwin, Lutfiah and Shalini... a journey which usually takes us just a little more than 15 minutes.

Why must everyone go to town on a public holiday??? Aren't the heartlands well-developed enough? No, everyone had to clamour around looking at Christmas lights which, if you ask me, look pretty much the same year after year. And if your brain even starts ticking to think that since I go to town too, I shouldn't be whining about the rest of them... Well, good point.

But remember, since Rajwin invited us... HE chose the location. And RAJWIN, why TOWN on a public holiday??? Aren't the heartlands well-developed enough...?

The movie starts at 4.25... we got to lido at 4pm. Surprise, surprise.. No parking lots are available. So Jason and I decided to park along one of the walls, seeing that everyone else did that. We met up with Rajwin outside the theatre at exactly 4.26pm. Well, it just goes to show.. that sometimes, BREAKING THE RULES IS NECESSARY OK.

Oh, another surprise... Rajwin, Lutfiah and Shalini chose the movie:
Ok, Surprise.. because, with the exception of Jason being able to say "man-tou" (he asked me that's that bun we eat with chilli crabs and then he got really amused with the pronounciation)and "wo ai ni" and Rajwin being able to sing a few phrases of hokkien songs.. And maybe Lutfiah and Shalini may have some mandarin swear words and certain greetings existing in their vocabulary... I really did not expect my multiracial group of friends to pick a CHINESE MOVIE!

By the way, as I was musing over that fact in the cinema, I realized that
we were a really diverse group... Raj and Sha being indians, Lut being
malay, Jason being eurasian, and me being chinese... OK, at least it says
so on our I/Cs... so based on that I/C aspect... we officially represent the 4
major racial groups in Singapore.

Back to the movie... IT KICKED BUTT!!! ROCKED TO THE MAX!! PLEASE WATCH IT OR YOU WILL REGRET AND WHEN YOU GO BACK TO SCHOOL NEXT YEAR, COZ ALL YOUR FRIENDS WILL BE TALKING ABOUT IT AND YOU WILL SEEM LIKE A LOSER COZ YOU'RE ALL LEFT OUT.

Speaking of kicking butts... Our dance performance last night at LIDO was a HIT! Everyone loved it, although during the stunts when Jason had Rajwin on his shoulders and was spinning Rajwin around at top speed, Aunt Viro (Raj's mom) grabbed me and turned a shade paler.

But overall... the guys did the banghra exceptionally well! Better than I ever seen them rehearsing.. The ladies dance had a little mistake, but it was so coordinated (as in, instead of 4 of us doing the exact same action, 2 were doing one, and another 2 did another.. so it had an ALTERNATED look thingy) that it looked perfect.


At Pastor Pritam's house dressing up for the performance.. This is Pastor's 3 year old daughter - Sujaan.. isn't she adorable? I did both our make-ups! She's the cutest, by the way.. she kept bugging me to do her make-up, and she pronounces my name "bweeenah". (Her face doesn't actually look like that, though. Pastor told her, "put lipstick cannot close mouth" so she's actually wincing in the picture. She's really alot prettier in person).

The other girls in the dance. That's Sudah on the left, she's actually nepalese + tamil... she's really preeettyyy. Michelle's on the right and she's the sweeeeeeeeeteeesst girl I've ever met. She's so nice and sweeeeeeeeet. Can't emphasize it enough, man. Haha. She cheorographed our entire dance, by the way. Really talented! She has the voice of an angel too.

The South Asian Connection dance troop!! Us girls with the banghra boys. We'll be dancing this sunday @ church and 2 times in January.. once for a wedding, and another for a major Assembly of Gods meeting @ either expo or suntec convention hall. I really hope that all of us have the time to rehearse and perform when the new year begins!

Of course, how can I resist grabbing my man for a picture? Do we look like an indian couple? Haha.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR COMING!!!

Gwen: Really surprised to see you there! Didn't expect you
to actually come and support us! I really truly appreciate it + plus
the cookie you gave me.. You're the sweetest!

Vi, Han, Prav, Sha & Lut: What can I say? You guys have always
been there... Glad you all could make it down to support Raj, Jason and I!!
Truly the bestfriends anyone could ever ask for... It was alot less
nerve-wrecking to see your faces in the crowd. Love you all!!

the Going's Good, but God is Great!

Things I'm thankful for:

1. Exams are finally over!!! (yeap, i'm mighty thankful)

2. Christmas is coming... Yippeee!!!

3. I have the best boyfriend ever...

this is why:
I was shopping with mommy one day and I saw a pair of shoes that I totally loved. It was only going for $25!!! Only they didn't have it in my size... OBVIOUSLY, since people with sized 6 feet always have great taste. So I whined to Jason about it for 20 mins, shaking him from his sleep that night. He finally agreed to go look for that pair in my size with me the next day.

The next day, Jason took me to Orchard Road and told me to go look for that pair of shoes. Well... actually here's how it went:

Jason (almost sitting down on a shoe-trying stool): Ok, go look for that pair of shoes. When you find it, call me and I'll pay.. I'll wait right here. Take your time, honey.
Me (very systematically ignoring him): Ok, we need to split up. You go look over there, I will look over the other side.
Jason: uh, what does it look like?
Me: Silver 3.5inch pumps.
Jason (picking up a weird looking leather wedge): Like this?
Me: No, honey. That's a wedge.
Jason: Ok, I forgot. What's a pump again?
Me: Covered shoes.. like your men's shoes.. but like, in heels.
Jason: Ok, got it.

After running around the shoes section @ Isetan, Wisma looking flustered for about 10 minutes, I was about to fling my heels at Jason when he trotted over to me holding a pair of GETAI sequin shiny silvery slinky heels (but I reminded myself that he was paying for my heels and that noone is perfect). I politely picked up the nearest pair of pumps and told him through gritted teeth, "honey.. that's not right.. THIS IS A PUMP, ok?"

Naturally, I couldn't find my shoes... Naturally, I saw tons of other shoes that I fell in love with immediately... Naturally, they all costed way more than $25. Looking devastated, I told him to forget it and let's just go before I burst into uncontrollable tears. He suggested going to Takashimaya to try our luck.

After walking the walk to Takashimaya from Wisma, Jason got tired and as soon as we entered the Taka department store, he grabbed the nearest pair of shoes that looked remotely like a pump and told me "See? Isn't this pretty? I'll buy this for you and then we'll go home, ok?" And proceeded to be the best salesman of the year, trying to convince me to abandon my pursuit of the silver pumps.

Lucky for me, he pick up a GUESS silver leather 4inch pumps. And as soon as he saw my eyes lit up, he turned the shoes over the check out the price - $256. "WHAT THE HELL?!! WHY WOULD ANY WOMAN PAY $256 FOR A PAIR OF SHOES?!!! IT'S NOT EVEN VERY NICE." Salesman of the year turned really critical shoe critic at that instant.

We then proceeded to search for my shoes, but of course, the shoes there were more expensive than at Isetan. Disappointed, I led him out of the place lost in my own thoughts, occasionally distracted by some really pretty shoes. When we were at the end of the store, he suddenly turned around and led me back and said "Ok, anything you like that costs below $90, I'll buy for you." I excitedly ran back into the store and picked up pairs of shoes and tried them on, but sadly none are really as pretty as the ones I had in mind.

I told Jason to forget it and that all the shoes below $90 aren't really that pretty. He mumbled a, "boy, you have expensive taste" and then told me that he'll raise the budget to $100. After prancing around another time I was ready to leave that place AGAIN. Before he places another bid, I dragged him out and he said we'll try Paragon.

God bless Paragon! I saw a pair that looked pretty much like the one I wanted! going for only $39.90! After checking out the price, Jason breathed a sigh of relief, but (God bless his manly soul) kept true to his word of the budget and told me to "choose another pair"... So I got 2 pairs of shoes in the end instead of 1!!!

4. I have the best mommy!!!

this is why:

Belated birthday present from mommy: Guess watch - $265
Lunch with mommy @ FishMarket, Parkway: My FAVORITE SUSHI!!!

5. Jason was with me @ zoukout...

this is why:

We all drank in the car on the way to sentosa and everyone was pissed drunk (except of Jason of course, being the responsible boyfriend). Everyone got dispersed and Jason spent the entire night taking care of me and calling all of my friends trying to get everyone together. He was so busy taking care of me that he didn't even get to meet up with his friends in the end!

Most of the time he was just leading me around, asking me if I'm having fun, telling me not to let go of his hand, and of course buying me lots of food and water.

Considering that it was Zoukout and it was really crowded, we didn't really get to meet up with my friends until much later. So it was just the 2 of us + with me being really drunk = totally no fun for Jason. But he kept smiling at me and trying to make me laugh so I wont be bored. At one point, he even pulled out my handphone and snapped pictures of us...

Totally Jason's photography skills @ Camwhoring since I was too drunk:

It's s0 sweet that he does something which he totally hates... just because he knows that I would want to have pictures of that night which was totally no fun, but couldn't have been any better.

6. Our Church's Christmas performance is shaping up really well. (Catch Me, Jason, and our church friends in action @ CK Tangs - outside Orchard MRT, on the 19th of December 2007, 8-9pm!)

7. Violet's exams end this Wednesday.

8. All these blessing from God are upon me!

Sometimes it's nice to know that you're an inspiration to others :)

SLUT!!!

Here is an abstract from http://mylittlenewhope.blogspot.com:

Her name is Rowena Chen... She's a colleague of my husband.. They both join
a bank in Raffles Quay in June 2007. They both went to Geneva for training. She
has recently ROM and is only 25-26 yrs old. She knew he has a wife and we are
expecting our first child. She has her own husband...

I know i cannot blame
you totally as it takes 2 hands to clap.. but don't act as if you are the
innocence victim.. I am the victim, my unborn child is the victim, my in-laws,
sister-in-laws, my family are the victims. Your husband, his family and your
family are the victims. All of us are the victims except the 2 of you. Both of
you should be ashame for what you have done to bring so much pains, hurts,
suffering and agonies to all our families...

U as a woman should know how it
feels to see your husband with another woman.. U have your own husband.. if you
are not happy with him..u should grow up and sort things out with him..not vent
your sorrow to my husband and vice versa.. you are both cowards and full of
excuses for your sins.

U can do this to your husband now.. and my husband
can do this to me and our unborn child.. the 2 of you are really perfect for
each other.. However, just bear in mind that what's goes round, comes around. U
can take my part and continue to help him pay all the bills and debts from now
on.. He can give u all his love like he did to me 8 yrs ago in exchange for your
freedom, trust, independence, to endure his temper and money. I will not feel
shameful to become a single mother and a divorcee as i am clear with my
conscience. I have done my part dutifully as a wife, a daughter-in-law, a
daughter, a sister-in-law and future mother. I have brought his family together
for the past years till both of you destroyed the happiness that i painstakingly
build up.

Just bear in mind that people will know what the 2 of you have
done.. u will always be the other woman in our eyes and the worse kind who left
her own husband for another's husband.

After I read such stuff... I felt really PISSED!! Pissed at the man, for not honoring his marriage with his wife, and pissed with that ROWENA for not having any shame.

WHAT KIND OF BASTARD IS THAT??? SOMEMORE THE WIFE PREGNANT LEH!!!
He really isnt fit to be a husband or a father. Who does he think he is??? He should count himself lucky that he found himself a wife. Yet, he treats her like that?! KARMA WILL COME TO YOU.

And why must a woman go for a man that belongs to another woman??? Is there really no other men around.. or is it simply more FUN??? Why be a slut and stick your stupid face where it is not needed? Why can't u respect another woman, being a woman yourself? Why must you degrade yourself and be so selfish and cause other people so many problems??? Only one word for you: SLUT.

BEWARE: IF he can dump a woman for u... he WILL dump u one day for another woman as well.


Why is it that when you love a person, you can simply stop loving them one fine day? Is it because:

1. You didn't really love them in the first place
2. You are a fucking bastard
3. You're weak and you can't resist temptation
4. The other girl is FUCKING CHIO that your balls throb everytime u see her

Ya, you all think Rowena must be some hot chick right.... I found her pictures on some forums.. here's how she looks like

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The man in the picture is just another random guy, i think...
WAH LAN EH! SIBEH CHIO AH!

As a woman myself, I really feel for the wife.. and I shall blog about this.

As Gwen says:
c wher dat slut can hide
shd find dat guy'z foto too

Some women may not care about other women's feelings and some women may think they can do whatever they want. But in this society there are rules governing such stuff and even in this day and age.. no matter how commercialized the world is, THERE IS STILL JUSTICE AND MORALS.

I'm glad that alot of women are speaking up about this issue on forums and blogs.

Men can treat us like shit and people can think we're materialistic. But when it comes to such stuff.. it's nice to know that women still stick together.

And any woman who betrays another woman for a man, deserves to be outcasted.

Nice Pictures

SO NICE!!!

when i uploaded my ppt, i browsed a little and saw this:



NICE RIGHT???

ARGH!!!

This is a season for bad things to happen:

1. QiQi's leaving for USA today (for 3 years ok!! IM NOT BEING WHINY ABOUT A PATHETIC LITTLE HOLIDAY. It's 3 DAMN YEARS)


2. I'm sick (fever n throat infection)


3. Pravin's sick (same symptoms)


4. HALF of town is blocked coz of the ASEAN summit thing.


5. Nothing good on TV and since I'm at home bored to death, I'm watching MARTHA STEWART.

ARGH!!! I wish I could send Qi off.. but she says she doesnt want any of us to go coz later she will feel like crying and wont wanna go. Also, my mom decrees that I STAY AT HOME coz i'm sick........ DAMN.

Jason sent me a sweet little ecard. "There will never be another you. Love you! Get well!" *blush*

Ok, i decided to be a blessing to others too.. so I made this:

Speaking of WU LIAO I just received an email from gwen... it goes like this:

S T R E S S

I am not sure exactly how it works,

but this is amazingly accurate.
Read the full description
before looking at the picture.
The picture below has 2 identical
dolphins in it.
It was used in a case study on stress levels at The Mater
Hospital Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water.
The dolphins
are identical.
A closely monitored, scientific study revealed
that,
in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical,
a
person under stress would find differences in the two dolphins.
The more
differences a person finds between the dolphins,
the more stress that person
is experiencing.

Look at the photograph.....and
if you find
more than one or two differences
you may want to take a vacation!

Wah Lau!!! TMD...

Very cute lah, GWEN.

Money = Happiness

Once, a businessman went onto a little island, where he saw a fisherman
sleeping underneath a tree in the broad daylight. Beside the fisherman, he
saw a
bucket of the fisherman's catch for the day, and the fishes were huge
and many.
The businessman thinks to himself, "WAH LAN EH. never see this
kind of DUA TIAO fish before leh! Fry with sambal sure damn SHIOK AH!"

The businessman asked the fisherman, "oei, uncle... why do you nap
here
instead of fishing?"

The fisherman answers, "Enough already lah. sibeh SIAN leh.. fish all
day. relac laH!

Businessman: "But if you fish more, then you got more fish what!"

Fisherman: "And then...?"

Businessman: "Then can sell more lor..."

Fisherman: "And then...?"

Businessman: "Then can earn more money and franchise lah."

Fisherman: "And then...?"

Businessman (already damn dulan with stupid old man who keep asking stupid questions): "Then you can retire early and then take all the money then go to a nice place without having to worry and lie under a tree and relac lor!"

Fisherman: "Isn't that what I'm doing now?"

Businessman: TMD...

My ex principal at DHS told us this story once during morning assembly and I remembered it till now. Moral of the story: Contentment.

I always thought that money cannot buy happiness and as long as we are happy, there's no need to worry about education or money or anything.

As Raj says, "WAh, like MUD lifestyle lah! just relac one corner.. but at least they are happy right?"
And Han says, "They got the dumbass courage to follow their fucked up dreams"

But anyway. To emphasise on the point money not being able to buy happiness... Han, Turner and I bought a 6-pack beer and sat by the river opposite butter factory one night, discussing how nice it is, to have cheap lukewarm beer with your bestfriends.

Then I told han my fisherman story and Han enlightened us:

"Ya, rubbish ok? Firstly, you said he live on an island right. So no need to
study what, dont even think the island got school lor. Secondly, he need to eat
he just fish, no need to worry about making money.... SINGAPORE HOW CAN LIKE
THAT???"

Haha. I think in Singapore ah pek sleep under tree and relac... only got 2 things. Either people mistake him for beggar and throw money for him, or police come and fine him.
But even if kenna fine, that also proves the point that in Singapore you need money.

But I indignantly told Han,

"Money so what? More money more problems. Rich people also got problems what. The more you have, the more you spend. I think poor people sometimes are happier..."

Han resisted throwing his empty beer can at me,

"BECOZ YOU GOT MONEY WHAT!!! you got ever hungry until just enough money to buy one loaf of bread for dinner.. thirsty until have to go into some primary school drink from their water cooler..."

Me: "WAH LAN EH! got so drama or not! (heehee) Anyway, money can't solve EVERYTHING what"

Han: "With money, you can solve the problems that money can solve.. problems that money cannot solve, another day then talk. But without money, you can't even solve the problems that money can solve"

Me: "But maybe after u solve the problems that money can solve, the other problems become more...?"

Han: "True, money cannot give you answers.. But money can give you more options."

Me: "tmd.. why everyone so money face???"

Anyway I have to say, I agree with Han.. Money may not give you answers.. but it definitely gives you more options.. I look at my beautiful pink VAIO laptop.. my new phone.. my pretty Honda City... my pink walls in my bedroom... super-fuckingexpensive school fees... and think about people who don't have all these.

Money has indeed opened up alot more options for me.

If not for money, I won't even be here blogging.

People without money, may be contented.. but you never see rich people complaining that they have too much money either. And even poor people who think that they are contented.. you still see them earning money and buying 4D.. Why else Singaporeans gamble so much?! Simply because they want more money!

It's true that being contented brings true happiness.. but if everyone is just happy with a mediocre life and do not aspire to do something more... they might as well just bring a guitar and a black cat to any void deck and waste their life away. People will not work hard for anything simply because they are happy with what they have already.

So people who say that they can be happy without money and they don't need money...

WAKE UP LAH!! DON'T BE A FUCKING STUPID LIAR!!!

P/S: I have nothing against malays.. Im just talking about those malays who do nothing with their lives and waste their time.
Not all malays in general.

Call me, baby!!!

The entire gang wanted to get me a present that I'll use for a really long time, that's impressive, chio, and worthy of a princess.

I told Jason to hint around that I needed a pink phone. He told me not to ask for presents because it's not nice.

"EXACTLY," I told him. I explained that won't have to be the one asking because he'll suggest it, and of course he should act like it's entirely his idea because it's not nice for me to ask for presents.

So he did and the guys secretly met up to shop for a pink phone (which i totally found out because, honestly guys are the worse secret keepers right?)

They couldn't find a good pink phone (dunno whether true or not lor.. LG SHINE GOT PINK COLOR LEH), so being men, they shopped for the most high-tech, latest and most valuable (in case I wanna sell it away) phone. And one of them (God bless his feminine and sensitive cute little backside whoever that is), suggested G-masking it pink.

NU QIANG REN!!

SUPER WOMAN: have all the functions better than a manly phone and she's pretty too!!!

The swarovskis were the final touch by Pravin. I'm so loving my phone.

I'm so loving my friends even more!!!

Thanks for going to all the trouble of getting my gift.. it's really the
thought that counts! I appreciate everything that you guys bless me with! But
the best blessing of all, is still my friends..

p/s: Sorry, violet.. I haven't take picture of your gifts coz I used them
already and they are all over the place. hehe.. the belt is in my cupboard, the
soap in my toilet, the pretttyy notebook in the amazing schoolbag that u gave
me!!

Ya, violet damn sweet.. I mentioned I loved her butterfly belt, and she
remembered and bought me a similar one. I mentioned I love her notebook, and she
remembered and bought me the exact same one. I mentioned I love her schoolbag
and she got me a much prettier one than I can even imagine. The soap is just
because I hug her all the time and maybe she thinks I stink. Haha! Anyway, Sobx*
damn touched k!! BFF!

Thanks everyone once again for making my birthday more special than I can ever imagine.

Gorgeous people.

Too damn tired to blog!!! I managed to get the entire group together to head out to sentosa for the weekend to celebrate jie and my birthday... wooohooo!

There's too much to write about, so I shall not even start. But I think the pictures pretty much captured what happened that night.

When I got there, Jie and Ng Yun were already swimming in the Jacuzzi...

DAMN FUCKING COOL! there was a jacuzzi on the 2nd level of our suite!!

First, a toast to the birthday girls by Raj, the toast master...

Then a very special performance, song-and-dance by Raj and Han.

My gorgeous sisters.

Jason got bored sitting in a corner and I grabbed him for a picture.

Out on the deck enjoying some sea breeze with my bestfriends.

They wanted to pose for camwhore pictures but didn't want to risk looking gay.

so they used me as a decoy.

Us girls showed the men a thing or two about cam-whoring.

Had to grab this pretty lady for a picture before we all got drunk.

See what I mean?
Fuck, we still look damn gorgeous despite being wasted.

And this coming weekend it's out to the Changi holiday bungalows for Prav's 21st... Damn it, We're such party animals.

Sigh. I have great friends.

Thanks Prav, Shalu, Raj, Lutfia, Violet, Serhan, Han and Jason for coming out to
the island this weekend.. It's the best gift I could ever get - being with you
guys :)

Boyfriends and Pink.

SO HAPPY!!!

My darling Jason decided to take me out on a date because it's my birthday week!!
Mommy says, "how many days u want to celebrate??!!"
Haha. But who cares, as long as I get pampered till no end. At least I was kind enough not to make it a 5-day procession and declare it a public holiday.

Being so touched, I went to lido early to buy tickets for a movie to surprise him. Hmm... Balls of fury? Game plan? I guess Jason would like some thriller... Ah, ferryman!
When he met me, he asked, "WTF is that? Movie ah?" duh.

First stop: DOME @ Lido.

My Chilli Corn Carne. MUST TRY!! DAMN nice!!

Iced Latte with Gelato. GOOD for desert!

At Dome, they have magazines beside the booth seats for customers to browse. Jason picked one up and flip through it, showing me all the men's watches and saying "See? Kenneth Cole leh." Hinting or something.. Not too sure, I wasn't really paying attention. I was trying to do some kid's magazine crossword puzzle using my eyes to mark out the words, since i dont have a pen.

Suddenly something in Jason's magazine caught my eye. But before I could react, he flipped the page at the speed of light and pretended to be DAMN engrossed at some hulk-woman's body, saying "Wow, look! She must be on steroids!" with all the enthusiasm of a teenage cheerleader.

I saw through his act immediately. Glaring at him suspiciously, I told him very politely to TURN THE PAGE BACK. He politely refused, so I had to politely pry the magazine from his hands and very politely jab him in the abs with my elbow.

Ah, so this was what he was hiding:

Trouble getting me a gift? Anyone?

I stared wistfully at the shoes and watches while he stared devastatedly at the prices.

"Why must you like everything to be pink...", came his feeble pleas for me to move on in life and stop staring at the beautifully pink accesories. In his desperation, his grammar went all out the window.

Whatever. I ignored him and exclaimed in glee, "Ok, pink shoes.. from lilica, titus watch... if every month when you get your pay you buy me one... I wonder which I should get first... Maybe start with the shoes... Honey, do you know where is Lilica?"

I turned to look at him, batting my eyelashes only to realize he had his forehead on the table and was blaming all forces of nature that possessed him to bring me to Dome on this very fateful day.

After dinner, he wanted to get a sweater vest for some wine fair tomorrow at expo, so we went to topman. We picked it in 5 mins and just before he proceeded to the counter, he turned to me and asked, "you want anything?" (probably out of politeness, thinking that since topman only sells men stuff, I won't be interested, but not realizing that topshop is just beside)

OMG! This must be true love! His words were like music to my ears! I clapped my hands and hopped around topshop in glee.. hmmm... AH! Underwear!! Violet mentioned they were great!

While fluttering around topshop, I picked these:
Anyway, Girls, don't be cheated. I saw the sign that says 2 for $9, and I picked 2, but when Jason went to pay, both underwears costed $17.80. The salesman then said, "Only those with red tags are for the offer"

THEN WHY PUT ON THE SAME RACK?!! HUH?? TRY TO CHEAT POOR GIRLS RIGHT?

Nevermind, at the end of the day, the underwears may not cost as much as the stuff on the magazine, or be as pretty.. but nevertheless, it's from my amazing boyfriend, it's pink.. and it's a start.

right, honey?

No longer a teenager...

Because it's my birthday today!!!

well.. actually before 12midnight... 25th October. MEMORIZE IT.

got so many wishes the night before at midnight... only violet didn't sms me, so i thought my BFF (best friends forever!!) forgot about my birthday!!! Damn sad...

then this morning she kept smsing me asking me where am i, saying she's very sad and stuffs.. and she needed to see me badly.. so i thought, ok must be some problems that's why she forgot. I was in a forgiving mood, and honestly damn worried lah!

So i waited for her at the 2nd floor lift lobby in school. then she came up to me like some auntie with all the barang barang, and hugged me and sang softly in my ear, "happy birthday to you.. happy birthday to you.. happy birthday to bree, happy birthday to you!!"

Then she pulled me to the carpark and took this out:

WAH LAU!!! DAMN TOUCHED CAN!!! i almost cried... she didn't forget after all.. she said that she purposely didn't wanna sms me so she can surprise me... so sweet.. sobs. lovelove!!!

I mean, I had only 1 hour to study 3 chapters before my maths quiz.. but still, it was pretty darn amazingly sweet of her to do that!! She doesn't study in my school, by the way.. so she had to make the trip down.

OK LAH, her school is just next door.. but still.. it's damn sweet ok!

Then after that I studied with her for awhile and had to run off to maths quiz... although I didn't study much. but i was hoping since my birthday, God will bless me more right? Haha.

Then kenna ambushed (actually think they didn't know they would bump into me, coz cassie gasped damn loudly and told meredith "GO!!" then meredith ran off somewhere) by Cassie, Carol and Meredith on the way and they passed me this:

SUPER CUTE PINK BEAR!!!

Plus it's wearing a pink fairy necklace, pink bracelet and pink shoe earrings!! OH MY... So sweet right!! They especially went to the trouble to get everything pink lah!!

Then when i got home, my siblings gave me this:

Totall love it!! The inside is like shiny and the outside is pink and red!!

And mommy treated us to japanese buffet @ shenton.. YUMYUM!! ATE ALOT LAr... it's like ala carte kinda buffet, so basically we just sit there and order whatever we want. Plus, if you use OUB card, you get 1-for-1... so each person only around $26.. worth it right??

Thanks to everyone, Violet, Cassie, Carol, Gwen, Ping, Mommy, Jie, Pearl,
Brandy, Mcken.. for making my birthday so DAMN SPECIAL!!! And everyone who
wished me too.. I really appreciate it.. It's not about the gifts.. it's
about just simply being so FUCKING GREAT!

Although somethings happened the past week.. that really made me feel like
not celebrating my birthday at all.. and some people really made me feel like
shit, you guys made it more special that I could ever imagine! Thanks, guys..
for making me realize I still have something to smile about. Lovelove!!

Damn looking forward to this weekend!!! RAj, Prav, Han, and Violet are all
coming out to the beach to celebrate!!! My jie booked a suite @ Rasa
Sentosa..
and she say I can bring some friends.. whoopee!

Rugby World Cup!!

South Africa won rugby world cup!!! in a damn boring game. SA scored 15-6 against the English, but all points were scored through penalty.. I simply cannot believe that there's not a single try in the final. So south africa won, whoopee. The guys were damn happy lah! Han wore a green jersey with the shrek ears headband from Mcdonalds.

In the 2nd half, it started to get a little interesting as Cueto from the England team scored a try, but wasn't counted coz his foot touched the line. That's about as exciting as the whole match gets. So much for going over to Prav's at 3am, driving all the way to CCK just to catch the match.

In another more interesting game, the 3rd, 4th placing one between france and argentina.. Argentina totally trashed France in their own chao game! The referee was damn biased, kept fouling argentina, even when a guy was on the floor after kenna whack, he got yellow card for nothing.

Then another Argentinian tackle Chabal around the shoulders and got fouled for high-tackle. WTF??? OK la, I know Chabal damn BIG, but that doesn't mean a guy can't bring him down fairly right? Who dare to foul him? Please look at him.



Han says he looks like jesus on steroid.. haha. Fucking huge monster who gouged someone's eye. He damn CHAO can!

But although Argentina was getting short changed by the referee, they played their best and scored 5 tries against France. Haha! If score try then referee cannot say anything what.. GO HOME SUCK THUMB LAH, U STUPID UNETHICAL REF!!!

Amazing game! Argentina held their ground damn strong! Amazing attempts by France to cripple their opponents and get a medal for Chao-play! worth the petrol money to watch.

OH ya, on a random note, when I was searching for Chabal's picture, I found this:

Look how YANDAO!!! Haha. Beneath all that hair, he quite shuai lah, especially his earnest eyes.. So nice and sweet. And the beard is kinda endearing, don't you think? Sweeeeet. There's something in rugby for the ladies after all.

Jason told me something today:

You're nobody in a land of familiar, wanting to be somebody. But to be somebody,
you have to cross over to the other side, where there will be border bullies.
Also, just before the border, you have to scale the wall of fear to get to the
other side. As you take a step back into the land of familiar, you get more
comfortable and happy. You take another step, you feel better. Now the question
is, will you keep backing into the land of familiar and continue to be a nobody,
or take the leap of faith and be somebody?

I feel that in life, each of us have to hammer on the walls of our comfort zone and break through. Because as we continue to live in this little bubble, and continue to grow in it, soon we'll be too big for it and we will outgrow the little space we have. This is called maturity. We need to get out of our comfort zone and have a good look around and make something out of it.

Let fear be the fuel, and let our faith be our safety net. Fear will propel us forward. Instead of not going forward due to the fear of failing, go all the way and succeed and based on that fear. Should be fail, let our faith catch us and continue believing that a little detour shall be the rest stop for futher endeavours.

I think it helps to think this way. Leave no space for failures to exist.

My kinda Ladies Nite...

Wednesdays only spell 2 words for me.. LADIES NIGHT!! No, I didn't go clubbing.. I just gotta hang out with my best lady.. Violet!!

School was OK. was supposed to do some powerpoint presentation, but apparently my version is more advanced that the school computer's, so the file can't be opened. Yep, Now I'm SAVVY :)
Which reminds me of the song I heard on radio in my car on the way to school - Geek in the Pink. haha.

But thankfully someone brought a laptop with the later version of powerpoint and my group used her laptop to present... only to find out that the content is all wrong??? Fudz was like, WHAT IS THIS??? oops. Ok la, I found the wrong information, but I was the only one in the whole group who did the work and I wanted him to edit, but he didn't even wanna look!! So forgive me lah!!! Sorry... Anyway, the group was kinda cool, they didn't blame me. And Fudz found the website online and he presented off the internet.. So he kinda saved the day :)

Then RAJ dumped me after computer class to go to NUS to study with lutfiah... SWINE. HEY, I WENT TO BUY YOUR BIRTHDAY PRESENT OK!!! VIOLET AND I HUNTED ALL OVER PS FOR IT OK!!!

But it's ok lah, I hung out with the pool gang (the bunch of people who are perpetually at the pool room in school playing pool, even if they have no classes for the day, or even when they have classes going on) and I played a few rounds of pool.. OK LAH, I still got it!! Haha. I managed to beat LU and ANDREW (who kinda let me win on purpose). But it's a really close call.. really need more practice.. I'm losing it!!

And Melody kept me company (actually I think she was more of there with Jerome, but I don't care) and I made her camwhore with me:

Ok, initially I thought I would be blogging about Raj's present (ooh, how exciting. He asked for LKY documentary DVDs) but I got more exciting stuff to blog about!!
Violet: "OOoooh, What's ThaT???"

It's the GREATEST DAMN FUCKING SHOP!!! It's called GIRLS (how cool is that?), located at PS, and everything in there is PINK, Glittery, or just PRETTY.

LOOK HOW PRETTY??? *gets high on pinkdulgence*

Violet posing with some really cool pencil case and really cute furry pink hairband.

I ALSO WANNA WEAR THE PINK HAIRBAND!!! *snatches it off violet's head* BWAHAHA!

Pretty hairbands in all their pink glory***

Everything you want comes in pink, bestfriend included.

I look like damn angry with boys or something right? Actually I'm just angry/disgusted with the deluded pencil case.. WHAT TOTALLY NO BOYS??? I LOVE BOYS!!!

After all, that's the best part about being a girl - the boys! :)

Awww...

I stole this off Camy's friendster.. Cute.. but does anyone else find this sad? I find it rather sad leh. And here's a question: which do you think is the boy, and which do you think is the girl?

Of course I think the yellow one is the girl and the blue one is the boy.. coz women more emotional, and men tend to be insensitive right.

Forum Gathering..

I was invited to the Straits Times forum gathering today at SPH and decided to bring Jason along. Being grateful and helpful, Jason went to street directory.com at work to get directions and he printed out something that looked somewhat like a map.

The moment he met me, he told me to turn in between tower 2 and tower 3 of suntec city, to ECP. I immediately told him, if I turned there, it won't be ECP, it will be rochor road. Upon which, he looked at me incredously and exclaimed, "You doubt the MAP???!!"

Taken aback by his reaction, I told him very patiently, "no, honey... I don't doubt your map. I'm just telling you."
"Ok. But that's what the MAP said," Apparently, he swore by streetdirectory.com

After I turned, I told him "SEE, THIS ISN'T ECP, is it??" rather irritatedly, at the fact that he trusts the website more than his girlfriend.
"Fine. But the map said it was, why are you blaming me for what the map said??" he added stubbornly AGAIN.
"I'm not blaming. I just wanted you to know." I told him VERY patiently.
"I hate arguing with you, you know. I was just sharing with you what the MAP said," He said through contained anger, waving the papers around like a precious sutra. "If you think you know better than the MAP, you find your own way."

"Fine, pass me my paper", I snapped at him.
Upon which, he pulled out a crumpled piece of foolscap paper from my handbag, with a rough sketch of some map. As he stared at it unbelievably, I can almost hear his thoughts: What IN the DEUCE is that thing??? How can it compare to MY printed MAP with ARROWS???

Sorry lah, my printer broke down. Had to copy it off some website by hand.

I grudgingly shoved it under my seat and told him, "fine, we'll follow your map."
He immediately brightened up, consulted the sutra of roads and told me to turn towards the CTE, after which exit at braddell road, turn left, hit a T-junction and turn right, should reach already.

After we exited the CTE and hit braddell road, there was no T-junction. In utter shock and disappointment, Jason muttered devastatedly, "damn, the map is all wrong... I think we U-turn here and go back..."

Anyway, we finally found the place.

But due to the heavy downpour, most people were late, so we were considered rather early.

The talk was quite insightful, they tell us how the newspaper is being made, and they answered some pressing questions. Also, I learnt that for sports editing, the story has to be in within 5 mins after the game ends! So the article has to be written throughout the game. Cool! After that we had some delicious dinner and were supposed to tour the newsroom.. BUT my DAMN SHOES BROKE!!!

So tak-glam... broke right in the middle of the SPH there, and I told Jason better hurry leave later some reporter saw me and take picture then tomorrow I will be on headlines. Haha, as if they got nothing better to report.. But anyway, Damn sad lah!! Had to go home... so didn't get to tour the place.. SIAN.

At least we managed to get the goodie bag... a really nice gym/trolley bag.Singapore tourist in rome. Haha! Jason say the bag is good, can bring for holiday. This is how I will look like if I listen to him. Ok lah, quite cool ah? The bag came with 2 caps.

Don't think I will ever wear it out though... it has the words STRAITS TIMES FORUM on it.

Here's a picture I found in my phone. Jason snapped it during our month-sary dinner. He's damn funny, he loves to change the mode to sepia, take random shots and tell me, "See, I also can take artistic shots."

Speaking of artistic, here's the postcards I took from plush the other night. So pretty!!!
