am in the midst of waiting for my cousin's(the one i worked part-time with) approval for my group to create a website for my unc's company. have a feeling she might not want us to, because she already has someone who's also in the midst of creating one for them.

but she's got nothing to lose, really. cos the website we'll be creating will only be shown on my school's IFC server, which means she doesnt have to show it to anyone else in the ouside world if she dislikes it. n if she does, she can also put it up on the net. plus, it's free. would you want it?

it's kinda pressurizing right now because my friends are putting high hopes on me. they kinda have the concept that since we're cousins, it should be easier and that we wouldnt need to waste time searching for other registered company(deadline's around friday or so). well, it might be a little, but at the end of the day, if she rejects our offer, i cant do anything about it. we cant force her. it's not that she has to. it's the company's choice.

well, i hope she does!

*shrugs*i just hope my friends wont hate me if this doesnt work. heh

My Confessions

Dear Phil,

Ever since you left me, i havent been the same person. We've been together for 7 years or so, and you've never once left my side. You were such a part of my life.

Whenever i was down, you were there to lift my spirits. Whenever i was happy, you were there to make me happier. Whenever i was bored, you were the one who entertained me. We shared so many good times together. You were my heart, my life, my soul. You were the best thing that ever happened to me.

But now that you're gone, things feel different. Everytime i look at the place you used to sit at, i feel empty, like a part of me was missing. It's hard watching you leave, bringing along all the fun times we shared with you. i cant believe i just watched you leave and not say anything to stop that. But i had no choice. It really wasnt easy.

i'm trying to get use to life without you in my room, but it's probably gonna take some time. I miss you badly. Damn. Thanks for the days though, and the nights especially. :) Thanks for keeping me crazy.

Love you always,
Your ex-owner.


Yes, u guys, my tv's gone (to my parents room, for good). *sobs*

ok, just leave the number to the psychiatrist that you want me to see at the comments box.

Slack-Day

today was basically a day to slack, really(yes, u can tell from the title).

1st lesson was Engineering Fundamentals, which was supposed to last for 2 hrs(2 periods). However, according to our lab teacher, we were supposed to go through the lecture for it before he could teach us the lab work but since the lecture was on mon(which was a public holiday), we didnt know anything. thus, instead of ending at 11 am, he let us off at 9.30am. felt freaking good.

we headed as a big group(almost the whole class) towards Mensa during break. it was pretty cool just sitting in a 3/4 empty canteen, drinking iced milo(with friends) and staring at the fountains. but then we realised how boring it would get later in the day.

here's our original timetable for the day:

9-11: EngFund
11-12: Emath Lec
12-1: Break
1-2: PSPS1 (tut)
2-4: IFCPROJ1

our IFCPROJ teacher couldnt make it, thus we all thought we could leave at 2. imagine the happiness. however, in comes our CP who told us that we had to go for a briefing at 4pm, which meant we will have 2 hrs of break in between.

now here's our new timetable for the day:

9-9.30:EngFund
9.30-11: break (because the teacher cant teach)
11-12:EMath lecture
12-1: break. (lunch)
1-2:PSPS1 tutorial.
2-4: break (AGAIN~)
4-?: bullshit briefing(compulsory)

at the second break, the whole group of headed to the library to explore, and yea, our plan was to rent a movie to watch. so we headed to level 6(or 7. i cant recall) and started looking for a movie to watch within that hour. but like i said, there were too many of us and we couldnt all agree on ONE movie.Thus, we ended up not watching any. lol. so we pretty much just sat somewhere and slacked.

now OBVIOUSLY, no one wanted to go to the bull briefing. so here and there some said they werent going, and some said they didnt feel like going. but we couldnt just leave our class rep alone now, could we? and plus, the CP did call me to tell me. i would be in trouble if i didnt show. i didnt know what went on but all of a sudden, we were all going together to look for our CP to question him about it. eventually, our miracle was this sheet of paper. i didnt know what it said but eventually, it wasnt us who needed to go for the briefing. it was the IBT students. well, that's according to what my friends said. so, our already-blur CP got more blur, and went like, "oh..oh.. ok then u guys can leave." smirks' up people! lol.

to be honest, i dont know if it really was for the IBT students or that my friends had very scheming and wonderful brains to overpower our CP's with that "confusing trick" of theirs. oh what the hell? whatever it was, it worked for us anyway. *grins*

on another note, the whole cca thing is driving me crazy. some say cca points will help in the entry of local uni. but ccas arent compulsory. my problem is, i'd prefer to enter overseas' uni but local unis are cheaper. but then having a cca would definitely affect my studies because i know i'm gonna need to spend a lot of time understanding Java. and ccas would be in the evening. however, if i'll ever end up wanting to enter a local uni, i'd lose out because i wouldnt have cca points. plus, "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy."... but i really wont have time for it.

hmm.

ok it's been a while. here's an update of what's been going on.

Orientation Day 2:
funny. all of us acted like we've known one another for a long time. everyone started chatting TOGETHER and i thought it was nice. we even had lunch together.well, that's because lunch was to be eaten in class. still, we pushed our tables together so that we could all chat while eating. i'm glad that all in all, the class is pretty cool. :) or at least, the claws havent come out yet. but right now, i like these friends.

the day again, was pretty much hot and.. well yea. learning the cheers and stuffs, very secondary school. *yawns* although, i must say that i have very enthusiastic mentors who can sometimes get to you. hmm.

now the night was different. we had inter engineering diplomas competition where each diploma was supposed to send a grp of performers to perform or something. that was kinda boring at first, because people were acting out lame skits and sketches that really bored me. really. especially the over exaggerated acting of some people who wanted to steal the limelight. gee. no offence to them tho'.heh. there was this grp tho, who performed a dance to "Jerk It Out" by the Caesars that freakishly entertained me. props to that.

then came "Scavenger Hunt". *grins* the host started naming out things they wanted and each diploma had to find those stuffs amongst themselves. stuffs like ten 1 cent coins, 1 plastic $10 note, 3 pink shoelaces(and stuffs)..... 8 pairs of trousers/pants and 10 t-shirts. Lol. yes. it didnt take a while before i could see guys topless or in their boxers prancing around the indoor sports hall. uh huh. n there were these two who were left with nothing but their boxers. no shirts, no pants. *laughs* yup, info-comms won the overall games.

Orientation Day 3:
nothing much to say.

Monday (23.5.05):
friends, i finally got to get out of singapore. *nods* yep i did. I GOT OUT OF SINGAPORE!!! dad's idea of going to Malacca for a day trip. we set off around 8.30 am and reached home around 11.15pm. it really was a day-trip. totally made use of the day i'm telling you. totally. i love my dad for having such a great sense of direction! he practically knows most of malaysia at the back of his hands. we went from malacca to muar to batu pahat to JB, bro and i took pictures with a snake (mom REFUSED to let me touch her after that lol), raced with fellow singaporean cars and bought the delicious Portugese Egg Tarts! they're really delicious! mmm yum. i'm drooling already. oh wait, i can just go grab one and eat it right now. awww arent u just so envious? (this doesnt apply to non egg tart eating readers :P) Had the time of my life. the only thing that got on my nerves was the check in area. apparently, my passport photo's a little unrecognisable because e picture was a photo of a 5 yr old girl who happened to not look like me. took us a while to pass through the customs. (in case u're still wondering, that photo was ME..)

Today:
teachers, stop trying to remind us we're in tertiary education now. we know. i'm having really bad post holiday blues. wish i am still having fun in malaysia right now. :(

I DO

*clears throat* ladies and gentlemen, i am officially invited to my cousin's wedding banquet.

my aunt came up yesterday and gave us the cake and the invitation card. *beams* i know it might seem like this is just another wedding banquet, and there's no reason for me to get all excited. but well, it's been years since i last attended one so..it's fun to attend one again.

and now, get ready as i announce the cold, hard, truth about me that might shock everyone out there who knows me. (Viewer Discretion advised.)
another reason why i'm excited about the wedding is because...

I cant wait to dress up.

okok, u're allowed to scream and run around the room in pure madness.

but once you've settled down, believe it. it's true. here's just something i'd like to clarify with everyone. People, i DO WEAR SKIRTS, ok? i might not wear them when i'm out shopping or whatsoever but that's because i just dont think they're very comfortable for doing all that. BUT i DO wear them at special functions. SO please dont make a big HOOHAA when u see me in them. really, what's the big deal?*raises eyebrow* every girl loves to dress up, and that includes me. it's just that sometimes i cant really be bothered so, u see me as who i am. but there are times when i do dress up so stop freaking out!

i'm just not at the making-up stage yet. heh. but when i do(which will probably be years from now *runs away from anna*), dont make a big deal out of it. Your calm composure and non exaggerated reaction is kindly appreciated. :)

random: tmr's my last day of work! muaha.

Thursday, May 12, 2005

my letter for the orientation finally came. which means that school's gonna start. well, it is. i wonder if that's a good or bad thing. orientation's on the 18th, which means...i'll be working till the 17th. *sniggers quietly* lalala.

i want to go to Rooster's showcase here in singapore! but darn it, it's on my 2nd day of school. ah crap. plus, i dont know if i wanna fight with other people for space and curse at them for pushing..ever again. oh i hope they show the showcase on MTV. (or i shall write in and command them to lol)

random: i cut my hair.

340 degrees turn

forget about my rantings on thursday. i finally got Lifehouse's cd. :)

well, actually i wanted to get 3 Doors Down's cd yesterday, so met anna after work to go get it. we decided to go sembawang music centre (cos cds there are cheaper) and in the search for Seventeen Days, i saw Lifehouse. i swear it wasnt there on thursday. i'm sure about that. so anna's my lucky star. :)

met some friends i havent seen in quite a long time for dinner. it was pretty nice and all, but i realised we've all grown into different people. and we've all gone down different routes. seeing them in uniforms reminded me that school was gonna start real soon for me and i'm not ready. ok, more like, i dont wanna be ready. 6 months of that made me this way. heh. but that aside, found out that one of my friends is going to be taking air nautical(air force stuffs) in poly and i think that is SO COOL. she's a girl, btw. *smiles*

almost went to watch House Of Wax last night but figured that the movie would end around midnight, and there'll be no transport back home. PLUS, i didnt really feel like watching that movie at night. it'd be disturbing. thankfully, found out from jean just now that it was a sadistic film, and (now if u dont wanna know what happened yet, SCROLL DOWN NOW!) jared padelecki was the first to die! *sobs* and turns out everyone died and became wax figures in the end except for chad michael murray and i think that elisha girl. thank god i havent watched it(even tho i really had the urge to do so). i'm afraid of digusting/disturbing/sadistic/horror movies. but i'm not afraid to admit that.

prisc' birthday today so we went out, did loads of dumb stuffs(including bowling which i tremendously improved since the last time!lol) and took some pathetically weird photos. *laughs* i am such an un-photogenic person. bleagh. Something kinda turned me off though, but i'm not gonna mention it. and the weather sucks big time. i really need to experience one day of winter to let me appreciate this. let it snow, let it snow!

my mom got a mother's day present. it was a classy and trendy dinner purse/bag that suited her. i saw her smirk. she loves it. haha. man, the person who gave her that is so thoughtful and has a good eye for a classy buy.

oh yea, that's me.

#!@%$^&*#

it rained. it rained! i was supposed to feel happy. but the rain seemed to dampen my mood instead. and now, i shall rant about it.

1) the batteries for my reciever ran out on my way back to Tampines. it's quite a long ride, thus i needed my reciever to keep me awake and blast me with music i love. but that damned old thing that i had since p5(the colour's fading away) just had to run out of batteries. on a rainy day. And do not attempt to suggest to me to get an ipod. i cant afford it.

2) i cant get the Lifehouse cd. went to music junction to look for it but they didnt have it (i kinda expected them to). knowing that sembawang music centre wont have it, i still tried. but nope, no Lifehouse. i'm desperate to get a new cd. the last cd i got was Five For Fighting's which i bought like, 2 yrs ago. i want new music! (oh and yes, my discman's spoilt too. everything's old and spoilt. <-just had to add that.) Was considering The Killers,but.. i wanted Lifehouse first(i know, now it sounds like i'm ironic. hah.). the one selling at Borders' was $23.90/28.90 which is just too ex. Tampines should just import more cds! bleagh.

3) Now that i think about it, i should have just gotten 3 Doors Down's Seventeen Days!! totally forgot about it. argh!

4) wanted to make myself feel better by buying mocha frap. but guess what y'all? Starbucks rose the price! dammit! i know i could have gotten something else(heh) but i wanted mocha frap, and when it didnt work my way, it's like, "ah forget it."

HOWEVER, i found something that made me feel better after that. Waffles with cheese. mm..yum. thankfully, it's thursday. which means, sit-by-the-tv-as-they-play-shows-that-you-love-night.i just hope last week's everwood wasnt the last episode( tho i have a feeling it was). *breathes*

yea i know. i'm such a whiner.

Wednesday, May 4, 2005

last weekend was great. went out with my brother and cousins. it was a great deal of fun.

working for my cousin(another one)? not that fun.not that she's not nice or anything. it's just the job. but it's all fine.

daydreamed the whole afternoon at work. the scene of my father announcing to the family that we're going to New Zealand kept appearing in my head. and my reaction kept appearing too. it went something like this.

*my reaction*:
"WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! *picks up phone and dials Anna's number*"

somebody give me the number to a psychiatrist please? thanks alot.

ps: if any of u have a great recipe to a good meal, please email me or let me know about it eh? (i'm planning to whip up a little meal for my momma on sunday.) thanks again.
