there are times when i feel that part of me seems to think that i don't like being chinese.
but there are times when i actually think that chinese isn't that bad.
i mean, look at all the taiwan dramas one can understand! :}
wang dong cheng, jiro! i like the new taiwan drama TOgetHER.
it's way cool.
sometimes what we need to get ourselves thinking is a taiwan idol drama.
it's brainless fun really.
i've never really had a thing for dramas, local or otherwise.
i'm always watching english stuff.
but then a taiwan drama comes along that's heartfelt and breezy.
like this particular one.
makes me seem like a fangirl, but no i am so not.
anyway... life's going pretty fast these days.
can't seem to get it back when i want to.
i'm feeling... philosophical.
haha.
k now you got my mood you can go now
byebye! '

okay, so the desktop crashing and my macbook was in servicing so i couldn't post or even come online much.
but now that i've got my Mc___ back, I'm happy!
let me recall what happened.
well, i was still coughing pretty heavily on monday...
i can't remember what happened on tuesday.
OHMYGOD, i think time is passing WAY too fast now.
tuesday i went to vivo with my mom to watch SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE!
t'was a great movie, pretty insightful and also quite touching and funny!
should catch it because it won 8 bloody oscars k?
but i was so scared of coughing in the cinema :(
i thought i'd disturb people and they'd chase me out.
but i didn't. i coughed whenever there were loud noises or songs playing onscreen ahahahhaha.
sorry.
but anyway, wednesday i think i spent it at home...
I BAKED a lemon cake! ;D
but it didn't turn out the way it looked. ;(
still, it tastes of lemon and buttery too!
all by myself somemore, so it's all good!
then thursday came and i went to school to meet Ky and collect my 5 dollar co-op voucher i won in the survey.
-_-
spent it all and went to cine orchard to catch Marley & Me with Angella and Ky but ended up playing L4D with..
Ky, Ang, Eug, Jill, Jeh, Val & Zach.
Hahaha, but it was pretty crowded, so not as fun as before!!!!! :}
plus we were not sitting near each team, so no fun!
anyway, uhhhhh... yes, Angella puked after looking at the screen for too long. ;(
Motion sickness.
then after 2 hours, we headed over to vivo to get Angella's presents for her dad and bro.
then we ate at long john and then window-shopped.
then we went home! :}
and i was in time to watch American Idol!
wooooo.
today i went to funan with my mom to collect my Mc____ back!
He's still making SOME cracking sounds, but it's pretty much okay i think. :}
love you long time Mc____, even though i haven't yet named you. :}
my mom came along and we just walked from funan to chinatown.
haahha.
along the way i saw these shops selling those necklaces accessories!
then i thought about the zipper vest thingy i wanted to make during the holidays, and i looked for the chain.
THINK i have all the stuff i need.
and I can even make necklaces now!!
or at least try to. :/
but anyway, we walked to chinatown and had dessert.
the mango sago thingy.
oh nevermind.
but yeah we ended up going to the market as well and then took a bus home.
hahaha.
then i watched Survivor.
wooooooooo.
okay, now i'm off to watch Skins.
oh, forgot to mention that Dev Patel, the actor from Slumdog Millionaire? He got the role because the director's daughter recommended him after watching him on Skins!!!!
GREAT GREAT GREAT THING!
xx

i loved watching the oscars!!!
3 and a half hours passed by so quickly~
but firstly, i want to say that Hugh Jackman is an excellent host!
and the opening song/dance number was HILARIOUS AND ENTERTAINING!
kudos to the producer!
and Anne Hathaway isn't she gorgeous?!
Meryl Streep's daughter is beautiful!
reminds me a little of Kris in WildFire.
gosh, speaking of which i must start watching that show soon!
Uhm, yes, the OTHER song/dance number with Zac Efron!!
Dominic Cooper!!!
I thought the costumes for Vanessa Hudgens & Amanda Seyfried were... a little...
showgirl-ish.
Unless that's what they wanted?
But Zac Efron got more screen time!
He even PRESENTED BEST SONG and ORIGINAL SCORE!!!
which proves that he is MORE FAMOUS!
okay, and Slumdog Millionaire?!
Overrated much? I don't know, for i haven't exactly seen the show!
I shall soon okay?
BUT ADRIEN BRODY!!!!!!
what is with his hair?!
I watched a part of the Pianist last night.
painful.gut-wrenching.anguishhyyyyyy.
i must get around to finishing the whole movie.
but Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie woahh...
Jennifer Aniston presented... AWKWARD... ?
Ben Stiller ahahahahahah.
At first i thought it was Joaquin Phoenix.
with the beard?
ohmygoodness.
loved it!
the props on the stage and everything.
All very authentic !!!
that said, my mom got robbed today.
well, technically, her pouch, she left on the bench and went to play tai-chi...
then an auntie shouted because some guy took her pouch.
so my mom ran after the guy...
but the guy slowed down a while later... and searched through the bag.
my mom was behind him and shouted
"IDIOT, INSIDE NO MONEY GIVE ME BACK MY BAG!!!"
so the man continued WALKING and left it at the junction.
like... DARING MUCH?
so an uncle went after the guy who was still walking.
He did a detour and went to the back alley.
My mom saw him at the back alley and waited at that end.
So seeing her, he turned and walked the other way, but the uncle was at the other end.
and he got caught, but he managed to break free and THEN he ran.
Luckily my mom's wallet was in her pocket! not in the pouch...
just keys and phone.
but... still quite scary!
:(
the recession is NO GOOD.
no good at all.
Sunday, February 22, 2009 7:25 pm
i think i'm an addict.
yes, an addict of Photoshop.
gah!!!!
I saw some pictures of celebs, and i immediately thought of those 100x100 pixels.
and the familiar BLUE Ps icon reminds me of my Macbook, which is NOT with me.
and then I was having dinner and I suddenly thought of Ps again, which led me to think of my desktop PC, and so on and so forth.
SIGH.
McMc, Come back to meeeeeeee...
other than that, i think i am coping well with my desktop.
Ain't I right HarryPotter?
YES!!!
my desktop is called hp, which is short for HarryPotter.
:D:D:D
now i'll just patiently wait for this persistent cough to go away.
sigh.
I HATE COUGHING.
and ky to sms me back after all her baking shizz.
;/
Friday, February 20, 2009 10:53 pm
i know i said i kind of hate them now, but this was funny, seriously.
so i contradict myself, sue me!?
10:38 pm
a bug flew in my face.
i HATE bugs.
i hate them i hate them i hate them.
but i killed it and I WIN!
5:16 pm
forgot to blog about American Idol!
like oh my oh my
DANNY GOKEY is one to watch.
I know Simon said that he isn't certain about the hype Danny's getting, but his story and voice just makes him someone who should shine.
and let me think... Tatiana del Toro.
definitely annoyed me in the auditions round.
but she can sing.
i'm actually surprised.
i missed the RESULTS show, so i don't know which 3 made it in. :/
but Alexis Grace has great style.
didn't like Jackie Tohn.
Stevie Wright disappointed me.
Honestly, singing a Taylor Swift song?!
I mean, it's okay to sing her songs, her songs are amazing, but if your voice is low, DON'T SING HER SONGS!!!!
and she says she's confused about the comments, what with her singing old songs and getting blasted
and then singing hip songs AND getting blasted.
well, use your brain!!!
sing something American Idol-ish.
Like Somewhere Over The Rainbow?
something timeless you know?!
but who am i to lecture her.
okay, but other than that the rest were forgettable.
I did think Ricky Braddy was okay...
and Michael Sarver deserves wildcard.
okay... Anoop is blah... i don't know.
overall. DANNY GOKEY FOR AI!
xx
4:17 pm
went for the job agency thing with Ky on thursday.
which is yesterday.
but anyway, (haha it rhymes)...
it was at raffles place somewhere...
but the people were really nice and they asked some questions, and made us do some simple tests.
BUT i didn't do really well.
except for the fact that they said i could type really fast!
63 words a minute man!
i can't remember how accurate i was though, but probably 90 % or more ahaha!
but i like typing.
it's fun! :}
so after that we headed over to uhm... funan!
because i wanted to fix my beloved Mac.
we went to the Sapura centre thingy, which is the "official" agent we were supposed to go to or something.
and they said i had to change the WHOLE LCD SCREEN just for that loose hinge thingy.
which costs 1054 dollars.
like... DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.
i am pretty sure you can change the hinge WITHOUT changing the LCD SCREEN people.
so we went to this other apple authorised store and they charged me 80 dollars to dismantle my beloved and see if they can fix the sound.
I REALLY HOPE THEY CAN DO IT!!!
because i can't bear to live with the sound.
and i'm really afraid that i will lose ALL MY DATA in my beloved.
i can't think of a name to give it.
Hm... how's ... Spencer? or... Ty? or... hm..Mike?
AHAHAHAA.
but as you can tell by now, i'm using my desktop.
HORRIBLE i tell you.
Once you start using a Mac, you'll find that Windows or a PC is a pain in the ass.
Hahah.
Other than that, playing LEFT4DEAD with the gang has left me with a terrible sore throat since Wednesday and then a fever from Thursday. GREAT.
But i'm feeling much better.
Getting lots of liquids into my body.
and yup, trying to stay cool.
hahaha.
okay, shall go write some fiction now.
i have inspiration! ;}

8:07 pm
The freaking holidays are here!
Honestly, I do not think I will survive the holidays spending any money.
But I am not here to talk about that.
Plans are being made, and outings have been gone on!
Like last Sunday, my mom, dad, sis & I went to Tanjong Pagar's Rama Thai!
The sharks' fin soup was to-die-for *says in dramatic tone*
But then again, maybe it's because I haven't had sharks' fin soup for so damn long.
I refuse to actually drink sharks' fin soup (mainly because of the way the sharks are killed) during weddings.
ESPECIALLY DURING WEDDINGS.
but the last wedding I was at had this sharks' fin soup that was like SOUP SOUP, not gooey soup, but clear (boiled-for-god-knows-how-long) soup.
It was DAMN GOOD.
so I caved in.
Sunday @ Rama Thai was because I didn't really want to waste it.
That and I lost my mind for a moment.
But think of it this way.
The set we got had one huge pot of soup for 4 people.
The OTHER set we could have gotten included 4 huge pots of soup for 4 people.
Think of the difference of sharks killed and I believe I feel better, although it does not really help much.
The Crab noodles thing wasn't that nice.
Anyway, the lemon chicken was gooooooood, but my sis didn't like it.
The fish was screwed up because it was deep-fried and the sauce tasted weird.
The fried rice was nothing special, but in all, we were all too full to move.
AND THERE WAS DESSERT.
gahhhh.
I want Bubor Cha Cha or whatever you call or spell it.
Then Monday came and my mom & yingying's family & a cousin & her friends & I went to China Square...
or I don't know but it was somewhere near Chinatown.
We ate at Don's Pie... or whatever it was called.
The chicken pie was AMAZING.
AMAZING to the MAX.
But the crab noodle... not so much.
haha, amazing right, 2 days in a row eating crab noodles.
But it was different kind of noodles and a different cooking method.
& the soup base was different as well.
But the pie was good.
HAHAHA.
&Today, Tuesday.
I kept thinking it was Saturday or something.
But I went to Cathay Cineleisure with the lot (KY, Jeh, Eug, Alan, Jill, Jill's friend Valerie, Zach,)
they played Left4Dead.
I tell you I have never screamed so much playing a COMPUTER game in my life.
But I guess I had fun hahahahaha.
What a way to spend the day away.
And bonding too!
Cool.
Anyway, I'm gonna go plan for the picnicxzxz now.
Woooo.
xx
Sunday, February 15, 2009 12:16 am
i've got nobody to waste my love onbefore you know it i'll be gone
so it's alright, yeah
don't need to be dedicated love songs
i never did have to belong
to a someone, yeah
these people go around
they're messing up my mind
but this won't get me down
cos' i don't need a valentine.
i'm not trying to play hard to get, no
don't fucking need a man, a beau
let's leave it at that
i can get the party started right alone
dancing to music that ain't there
time of my life, yeah
these people go around
they're messing up my mind
but this won't get me down
cos' i don't need a valentine.
i'll be, i'll be here
lost in time and space
single single single
they don't stand a chance
cos' i don't give chances
these people go around
they're messing up my mind
but this won't get me down
cos' i don't need a valentine.
don't know those people around
they can't mess with my mind
and i'm so high i can't get down
who fucking needs a valentine.
Saturday, February 14, 2009 8:49 pm
i finally let Ky win and she came to my house today to do radio editing.
well, i was apprehensive at first because i know i'm not a good host and my house is in a perpetual state of mess.
and also i see no reason in coming to my house because it's boring.
well she probably knows that by now.
anyway.
i was obviously shaken and rattled because i don't usually get people in my house, it's always me going to others'.
it's not a nice mood to be in because it makes things shit for the other party as well.
but it's over now and let's say i'm not going to be bringing people home for some time now.
-
k i am v. tired.
but happy V day!
xx
Friday, February 13, 2009 11:08 pm
oh my goodness me, after radio is like, completed and everything... i'll will be on a major quest to catch up on all the shows i've been wanting to watch but haven't the time to.
like:
-WILDFIRE season 2 to 4
-SURVIVOR season 18? (latest one anyway)
-AMERICAN IDOL season 8 (damn it missed hollywood week)
-GOSSIP GIRL season 2 (i just cannot stand MEGAVIDEO)
-ONE TREE HILL season 6 (same as GG.)
-the new 90210 season 1 (MAYBE...MAYBE...)
and i don't know what else but there's so much more!!!
haha.
and it's great because i'm broke and will either find a job or stay at home.
lol.
okay signing off.
xx
Wednesday, February 11, 2009 10:50 pm
well all i can say for these couple of weeks is that it's over, and i am both happy & sad.
happy because speech is over, and radio (fun radio!) is left!
sad because it's the last day of school (so called officially) and we won't be T109 anymore. :'(
i pretty much love my class right now and don't for the life of me want to change!!!! :(
still it is a requirement because we need to mix around.
media industry for goodness sake.
yeah, so... it's going to be a tough year next year... what with meeting new classmates and hectic work schedules all over again.
i'm what you can call.... nervous & scared.
but anyway, speech today was okay.
i managed to forget one clump of my speech, which was quite sad.
and the Q&A made me realise that i don't speak much in the group.
WHY.
don't know.
all i know is that if i want to do well, i have to think on my effin' feet.
but yeah, it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be, because there were not many year 3s and lecturers as i expected.
-_-
but halfway through Alan's group's speech, in came Ms C & if i am not wrong the advertising lecturer came in too.
and we were the next group to present.
like... when it gets bad, it can DEFINITELY get worse.
hahah.
and yeah.
but after speech, they were all taking pictures and well, i wasn't really enthusiastic about it..
what with being in a skirt and feeling quite out of place.
i know they are probably disappointed i didn't take much photos with them,
but... SORRY. :(
that's all i can say.
i never really liked being in pictures.
unless it was absolutely necessary & would involve loads of people persuading me to take one.
yup.
but yeah, catch me on a good-mood-day and you might get one from me lolxz.
nahhhh.
but anyway, Holland V to celebrate Eugene's 18th.
J & E were drinking Carlsberg.
Like woah.
haha.
quite weird to actually see friends drinking beer.
Normally it's my dad or uncles or something.
But anyway, dinner was pleasant enough! Had fun!
and the endless convo about sex... like... just... great...
hahahahaahahah.
honestly.
i don't know what my dad / mom would think if they ever sat in one of their conversations.
bahhaahah.
okay, but i like listening to them talk.
lolz.
but i ate.
cooooool.
i can probably try to make something like that next time.
hahaha.
hm.
what else...
oh yes thanks angella & kar yan
for helping me look for formal wear on wednesday!
should have totally gone to g2000 first manxz!
and i am soooooooooooo frustrated because we didn't really need to wear THAT formal an outfit ANYWAY.
DAMNATION.
but yeah, i've spent too much money this week and am officially broke.
so i need a job.
MELISSA!!!!
ahhaa.
19 + 24 + 68 + 26 = 137
ohmygod, that is excluding so much.
but yeah, i've literally drained this month's moolah.
okay i'm going to sleep now.

Sunday, February 08, 2009 11:51 pm
the walls are free of your pictures
i had to take them down
couldn't live in denial anymore
promised myself to move on
some days when i go to town
i have this hope in my heart
that i would bump into you round the bend
but who am i kidding
you left so many months ago
the last thing you said was that you weren't coming back
could you imagine the blow you dealt me
and that fragile paper heart of mine
so the radio plays those soppy love songs
the ones that i use to love, you use to hate
guess you're playing them to someone else now
while i'm crying behind closed doors
but this story's getting way too old
and don't know why i'm clinging on
it's going to fade away anyway
just like dust in the wind
----------------------------
i'll watch as the candle burns
remember the pain and hurt
you showed me no concern
whatever happened to us
is that what they want to know
how we broke up made up
and ended this stupid fight for good
might be better for both of us
so what are you waiting for
don't you hate this part much more
than i do
12:13 pm
i officially do not want wednesday to come.
Saturday, February 07, 2009 9:42 pm
sometimes it's your eyesother days it's your smile
i wonder what makes you tick
cos i'm falling down in so quick
into you
the sweet caress of you
i don't know
this feeling
it's strange
and intimidating
but i'll hold on
the world doesn't have to care
but i'll hold on
i just called to let you know
i'm here
you say that i need some time
to figure out what is on my mind
well you know me better than i do
so whatever you say is whatever i'll do
it's all for you
that beautiful gorgeous you
i don't know
what this is i'm feeling
it's oh so strange
and god damn intimidating
but i'll hold on
the world doesn't have a clue
that what we have is something true
and i'll hold on
to those words you said before you left
i'm always in your heart
please believe this is real
we're gonna be apart
but we can't fake how we feel
so just hold on
it's gonna be the start of something good
oh please hold on
to the truth, to the real deal
( l-o-v-e )
i just called to let you know
i love you
sometimes i don't make much sense
but i hope you'll understand.

8:12 pm
i knew today was going to be a bad day!
i dropped my macbook by accident when i was getting up to get the phone.
but i ended up getting entangled in all the wires and sooooooo,
it ended falling about 50 cm to the ground.
T_T
i am very saddened by the fact that my beloved is now making cracking noises when i open and close HIM. :(
i shall see what i can do about this tomorrow.
MY LOVE, I WILL FIX YOU. :(
Thursday, February 05, 2009 10:01 pm

Wednesday, February 04, 2009 4:20 pm
lately i find myselfin places alone
watching the world go by
how do you keep a conversation going?
i stared as they walked away
hearts on their sleeves for all to see
11:31 am
hm, can you believe it.
jesse mccartney has been replaced by dev patel in AVATAR.
like, DAMN IT!!!!
not that i'm actually THAT angry, because i like dev too!
he's in SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, and was previously in SKINS.
i liked him in skins.
but... i was so looking forward to watching JESSE in a movieeeeeeee.
but just as well...
he was going to play amanda byne's brother in SHE'S THE MAN.
but scheduling conflicts again?
i don't know.
GRRRRRRRRRR.
in other news.
the socpsych interview yesterday went... okay.
i mean, my dad was there and all, and we interviewed his japanese friend.
haha.
t'was quite cool.
but honestly, was kind of nervous... because we didn't know how to rephrase the questions at times.
but it was an experience.
more of this and i may get better.
hopefully.
xx
Monday, February 02, 2009 11:30 pm
Today was a hectic day... of sorts.
i mean, i met Ky at the library, where i printed my writcomm stuff, and she printed hers.
but she found out she forgot her marked outlines...
then issues presentation.
let's just say i cannot get any lamer than what i did up there.
like... "i used to have a maid, but... yeah... ANYWAYS..."
like... WHY DID I EVEN MENTION IT IN THE FIRST PLACE IF I'M NOT GOING TO ELABORATE RIGHT?
it just slipped out of my mouth y'know?
shiiiiiiiiit.
and my ending was shitty lame.
"so we should treat maids with more respect and...yeah...so..."
I ALWAYS DO THAT.
why can't i have a GOOD, spontaneous ending for ONCE?!
but i don't care, it's over.
so i went to the library to do socpsych interview questions and wait for Ky to come back to hand in her outline...
but she took her own sweet time and i couldn't wait anymore so i followed Melissa & Ann Khay to hand in our stuff.
4.26pm!
not bad huh!!!! ;}
and then i met liyana to go to lot one to do the socpysch interview.
the interviewee ended up not being able to make it.. and it was like what... close to 9pm...
sigh.
we waited 4 hours... in vain.
not that i'm complaining because stuff like this happens.
i guess it's a learning experience, that we should have a back-up plan, ALWAYS.
gahhhhhh.
and tomorrow's speech quiz...
dead dead and dead.
okay byebye.
xx
The conversation's getting stale
If you won't point it out, then I will
