2 days worth of untold stories:

it's been a very busy and hectic two days all in all.

on friday, it was shopping with the girls at bugis, then town. us four had a chatting/bitching session at macs before doing some shopping at bugis then proceeding to town. finally got my pretty pair of checkered shoes! (unluckily for me, they were defect goods so i had to go back and get them changed today -_-) oooohhh! and we took neoprints too! clarissa is so darn cute, she actually takes neos with her grandmother, how hip is that man. towned abit till nicholas joined us and then they went for dinner which i decided not to join and went to meet my em baby at the other end of singapore instead.

anyway, so much for being in fat mode cos one gorged oneself on lemon chicken and large bowl of soup whilst watching fann wong in coffeeshop. went back to baby's place laters and it was a crazy night (no shit). we were playing ji gou pa at 5 in the morning cos i couldn't sleep. sleepovers for me doesn't include the sleeping element you see.

piccas from yesterday!



us 4: me, meryl, francine and clarissa! :)



us being cheapskates (my idea) hurhur

as for today, i met my beloved prata after forever and we went shopping! last chance before 7% gst hits us yo'. we bought matching bags (sort of!) and they are super duper cute! not cheap too so am currently broke to the core. urm, prata went on a spree, spent hell lot of money, then later it was dinner, a lot of walking to and fro town, being hounded and stalked by ah bengs, ice cream, and then home sweet home. very fun day!

am actually very lazy to blog already. so everything is summarised. will post pictures of our bags next time.

till then!

to my dearest beloved emerick goh:

if you actually happen to be reading this, just want to let you know that if you actually get a car today, and if you bother coming to take me for a spin (home hopefully), i'll be in town (you know that, i'm forever there) and i will love you super duper long long time!

xoxo
a different claire you saw just 7 hours ago (this one's much nicer!)








and i wonder why my past keeps haunting me

am professional bummer for good now

my last day on the job therefore decided to be incredibly patient, polite and happy. even complied to direction asking/answering and entertained silly customers who asked if they could buy the chocs with 70 cents (yeah, how about 1/4 of the choc?). bought hell lot of chocs today. chocs for myself, people, and angela came down to get chocs too.

so long never see angela. hello angela! i love your pwetty pwetty curls! her curls are cool. they're brown on the left and red on the right. time kinda flew today in between me packing a truckload of chocs for myself and customers, as well as doing a lil' grocery shopping at cold storage. and OMG i can't believe it but i forgot to take a photo of the pebbles displayed at sins. the ones people keep thinking are chocs and pretending to eat them. damn (to think i reminded myself countless times over).

my house is now a tidbit shop. have tons of sins chocs, a lot of eatibles from taka courtesy of MM (i'm halfway done and i just got home)and urm, loads of teas. so right now, i am going to be a professional bummer for the month of july. will prolly be spending more time involving myself in school though.

woke at 3 today but feeling very sleepy already. off to wash my long long rapunzel mane i go...

the internet is dangerous!

am busting almost all my money on online shopping! and i don't even know if the clothes will fit right. sigh. need to stop!!! gah!

met my em baby today at holland v for a chillout session at brekos with diet coke, fish nuggets and coleslaw and gossip playing on my vaio. surprised i've never heard of the movie before i downloaded it last night, especially when there's kate hudson and james marsden (that's cyclops mind you) in it and no movie, should ever ever underpublicise when there's james marsden in it!

we went back to chill for a bit at my place laters and then he went back and i indulged myself in fann wong's ever so pwetty face even though it's bruised half a side. amazing how some people never fail to look good even with shit (literally) on their face. i guess one of her beauty tips would be to avoid changi prison. LOL

enough of snide (and not so witty) fann remarks because truly, i am jealous that she is gorgeous. tomorrow's my last day on the job. sigh. goodbye to the goodness of life - chocolates. on the bright side, goodbye to fats as well (hopefully!)

time flies, another week's gone. i bet before i know it, school will begin :(

many missions accomplished

was supposed to meet jillyanthebarneysiow today but as usual, what's new, got pangseh-ed and therefore left planless and alone. decided to sulk my way to the market (which is only 2 bus stops away) and accomplish one of the top things on my to-do-list (which has been there for eons). fringe cut!

walked into some random ulu shop and left the fate of my fringe (which is just about the most important element of my hair) to some aunty who had wayang show on tv, with no one else in shop, and curlers in her hair and the steam machine above her head, giggling to herself and asking me to take a seat while she remained glued to the screen.

turns out hair cut was not too bad, aunty was entertaining enough, and best of all, she only charged me TWO FRIGGIN BUCKS for fringe cut. how cheapskate can i get man. haha.

the initial plan was to head to the lib alone but then xiuli, being nice, decided to join me there since i forgot to bring my lib card. turns out, didn't end up borrowing anything and we went to scout for bubble tea before settling down at macs to attempt to watch evan almighty (a very pirated version) on her newly bought ibook. eventually gave up 10 minutes into the show due to constant blackouts due to people walking to and fro.

imm laters, we both bought adidas caps (surprise surprise) couldn't resist cos the pink is too pretty. had dinner laters and then it was home sweet home. super tired cos the heat consumes my energy quadripled the rate.

p/s: hostel 2 tops the list of my grossest shows evar!

to read about thaddeus cheong just after i wake

Teen triathlete collapses and dies after race
By Jeanette Wang & Lee Hui Chieh
Jun 25, 2007
The Straits Times

A PROMISING teenage triathlete collapsed after crossing the finish line in a South-east Asia Games selection race yesterday and died soon after.

Thaddeus Cheong, 17, a first-year student at Raffles Junior College, had just swum 1.5km, cycled 40km and run 10km at Changi.

He clocked a personal best of 2hr 9min, and came in third. Then he collapsed.
The boy's parents, George and Angeline Cheong, both 46, were present and rushed to their elder son. Their younger boy, Thomas, 13, is also a triathlon enthusiast.

Mrs Cheong told The Straits Times last night: 'We did not know his heart had stopped beating. We kept calling him, but there was no answer.'

Thaddeus was unconscious and foaming at the mouth when he was taken to Changi General Hospital (CGH). Doctors were unable to resuscitate him and pronounced him dead at 10.55am.

Police have classified it as a case of unnatural death, and a coroner's inquiry will be held.
Family members, team-mates and friends were in shock as news of the teen's death spread yesterday.
By afternoon, his school and church friends had started posting messages of grief online in their blogs.
Yesterday's SEA Games trial was the first of two to decide the two men and two women triathletes to represent Singapore in the year-end regional sports meet.

Thaddeus was among eight men and three women who started the race at about 6.45am at the Tanah Merah Country Club's swimming pool.

Triathlon Association of Singapore senior executive and assistant national coach Jerry Seah said Thaddeus looked confident, happy and ready to go before the flag-off.

Participant Sikhander Singh, who finished sixth behind Thaddeus, said: 'He looked fresh throughout the race. I had never seen him look better on the run.

'It was his best year so far in his triathlon career. I am very sad to see him go.'
Describing her son as an achiever, Mrs Cheong said: 'When he wanted something, he would work hard to get it.'
He was so keen to book a SEA Games slot that he had doubled his training stints to twice daily during the school holidays.

Raffles JC's cross-country teacher-in-charge, Mr Tay Meng Kiat, said: 'He was a very good child and well-liked by his team-mates.'

College principal Winston Hodge said: 'We are shocked and deeply saddened by Thaddeus' sudden passing, and our hearts and thoughts are with his family and friends.'

Among those who paid tribute online was a boy named Yao Khuan, who said they had been friends since Primary 5.
He wrote on his blog: 'Thaddeus, if you can hear me...I'd like to tell you that you're the coolest guy, and that I've always looked up to you, and I hope that it is a better place in heaven.''

Mrs Cheong said: 'Thaddeus is a very, very good boy. He is every mother's dream. He is a no-nonsense person, will tell you what he means, short and sharp and quickly.

'But now, he has just left without saying goodbye.'

this is thaddeus. and i guess thaddeus had it all. the whole package: good looks, brains and brawn. and now he's gone.



say a lil' prayer for his family & loved ones will ya?

the night is still very young

at 1:31 am.

sleepless rainy night.

on nights like these, i want to be tucked under layers of sheets, shivering blissfully from the coolness of the air-con and air outside, piled under warm fluffy gigantic mashmellow-like pillows, feeling my baby's body heat, drinking hot chocolate/chunky soup and having a good movie play on my mac.

and we do this all under my dim orange light from the ikea moon. and it feels so right. :)

pity, i only have the sheets and the movie. sigh

the countdown begins

my third last day on the job. you know, i've made a list of things to buy and stock up before i leave so i don't regret my decision halfway through and feel stupid all over again. among my list includes tonnes and tonnes of chocolate, and other stuff such as sins imported goods, cookies and lindt. today, i strike out 1 item. the large double chocolate harry london tub. very expensive even with staff price. but it's all worth it. :)

work was at millenia today. brought my vaio along and it was my life saviour. killed time talking random rubbish to jojo on msn and entertained myself with friendster and trent.

will be very free for the month of july (hint hint).

anyway, one is considering whether to go for union camp/campus crusade for chirst/varsity christian fellowship. suggestions anyone?

typical stay-in sunday

the usual. church in the afternoon, was supposed to be early afternoon but postponed to late afternoon due to incompetent cab driver who went in roundabouts and was more concerned with pointing a bmw the middle finger and shouting fuck to the driver who couldn't care less as well as being more concerned as to why i kept touching my eye whilst spying on me in the mirror.

after church, em came over and it was my grandma's home cooked food, my maid's very mediocre tasting (i could do better myself) omelette, chunky soup and epic movie on my mac. sucks that he has school tomorrow and that he can't stay the night or that he stays at the other end of the world i can't stay the night (again) without having to wake at 6 in the morning.

to digress, one is really happy one let one's inhibitions go, with regards to camp that is. for now, am contented with the friends and everything else i've done and met throughout camp. hopefully all will remain ceteris peribus after second intake.

am supposed to have a health check up tomorrow but one can't go cos of massive blood flow down there. will be working though. this fri morning will be my last day on the job so pop down for your last chance to get chocs before the price hike hits you on july (as if the prices weren't exorbitant enough already).

painting town green

green with envy, that is. that's what happens when you have a severe budget deficit and retired parents who refuse to give some moolah to satisfy your "wants" beyond your "needs". sigh.

people watched at work, gave a million directions, headed back for a nap, and then it was town with mich. lack of funds, didn't get nothing but saw many many potential items which one has already k.i.v-ed. goody

need a haircut, a driving license, and a car.

dear god, is that too much to ask for?

survival of the weakest (that's me)

in case you didn't get my last post, ONE SURVIVED CAMP! hurrah! am social pariah and loser of the highest order no more! yay! :)

and if you really must know, this is HOW i survived:

day 1: for the first time in my life, was actually punctual, urm, make that early actually. spoke to every single person and talked some shit and telling the closer ones to help me survive by forcing me to stay whenever i'm tempted to leave. one stopped being physically unfit and took part in every single dirty game in freaking hot sun yo'. had mud (though it smelled more like poo) on one's body, paint (which was possibly lots of idontknowwhatsmellythings combined to look like paint) on one's arms, legs, face, rolled around in flour oil, had face submerged in flour (as though one's face isn't white enough already)and at the same time swallowed some flour (eww! will never eat flour stuff again) yada yada blah blah. basically, one wasn't oneself anymore. complete transformation

day 2: the sun, sand and sea. had sunblock but apparently not enough as half of forehead and nose are glowing red now (virtually a freak). had psuedo kissing games, was piggybacked, had mother nature all over me (sun, sun and sea) and basically resulted in a burnt, dirty and oily me with incredibly bad headache. couldn't take it anymore due to terribly bad headache, left, went to mich's house to chill with her and jiemin then laters, went back to school to collect stuff and headed to em's house to stay and catch up on a shortage of a lack of sleep for 4 days.

day 3: home sweet home. headed to dxo laters with mich to join the camp pple. boring there, had stupid paegents but the dancing later was fun. afters, went to mos with mich, r&b was in the main room. it was a fun, no grinding night with lots of dancing. back to her place later for some e! entertainment and stupid chinese shows with no subtitles.

day 4: camp's supposed to end today but one survived it by being home cos one had work later.

great camp, great people, great fun! : )

3 cheers for claire!

3 cheers and 3 cheers for claire!
hip hip! HURRAH!!!

yay, one has officially survived camp.
will update tomorrow with a camp survival guide and pics! :)

happy daddy's day!

(haha, very unglam photo, but only have this pic so bo bian. one does not have many photos of parents okay, cos one is not particularly obsessed with one's parents)

okay, so anyway, that is my father. my father is very cool. he named himself christopher at first, but then when he got a bit older, decided to rename himself spencer. my father is so cool, he even has a myspace account, something which even i don't have. if not for my father, one wouldn't have been able to get one's vaio so that increases his cool factor threefold. one's father makes one protein shakes without fail every night despite the fact that he knows deep down i throw them away, he still gives me the benefit of the doubt.

and you know what makes my father SUPER DUPER COOL? he has an indian best friend just like me and tells him dirty indian jokes. : )

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DADDY!

for father's day, i spent it with my boyfriend instead of my father. but we all know father > boyfriend. lol. we went to new crea (sunday, duh) and then later, dinner at vivo for asian kitchen (which is infested with china workers by the way) which had really really bad food.

anyway, one is having final theory test tomorrow! wish one luck!

girls' day out, and then in

over a matter of life and death, one thought about it non-stop and couldn't get to sleep till 7 plus in the morning (yes, i know i'm psychotically insane) and thus, no surprise, one overslept and missed mini camp briefing at 11 despite setting 2 alarms for it. finally decided to pick up the call after many many missed calls and it went something like this:

nus person: "hello?"
me: "helloooooo...."
and before guy can say anything more,
me: "i oversleptttttttt"
nus person: "actually briefing hasn't really started as we're waiting for latecomers, if you want you can still come down"
me: "rrrreaalllllyyy? greatttt...i stay verryyyy near nusss"
nus person: "ok then! see you there!"
me: "ooohhhkayyyy...byeeebyeee.."

and i go back to sleep. -_- if person actually believed i would go down, person really doesn't know me well enough (i guess that's the purpose of orientation huh? haha)

went to town with mich when one was finally awake, sober and coherent with intentions of getting a camp bag. finally found a very pretty roxy one, pure white and VERY big (am certain can pack half of one's room inside, so v.g. for 4 days) -beams- however, one has not decided whether or not to go actually. indecisive and fickle, i am. so we shall all see, shall we?

oh! mich got pretty maroon streak extensions today! am very tempted to get somemore too but really low on funds (hint hint) and have really no intention of blowing any more money on hair. saw lots of nice stuff too which am very tempted to buy. sigh, things like that only happen when one has no money. don't see nothing i like when i have lots of yusof ishaks to throw around. hurmph

laters, prata came over and i helped her bake cookies and muffins for rajah daddy's day, which is tomorrow, and i mean father's day you infilial people, not birthday. very very nice cookies i must say. didn't get to try the muffins though cos she bought a teeny packet. rewatched borat tog and couldn't stop laughing.

so she just left not too long ago, all alone in the wee hours of the morning. one hopes she doesn't get raped hurhur.

on life and death

so the big question of the day is:

is survival > being social pariah and loner in uni/death?

in simple terms, should one go for camp or not? one still has time to back out, as long as one doesn't hand money over to OGL cos MM said that once i hand the money over, there is no backing out or i will have to pay for it myself.

and we all know that one doesn't have that kind of money. so there.

will spend next 9 hours contemplating big question of the day. opinions anyone?

don't you just love portable movies on-the-go?

we do. and we would mean mr ng ziluo (the BFF) and i. cos that's what we did for practically the whole day. watched portable movies and moved from one place to another.

first, it was wcp macs, and with 2 dvds and 1 laptop with just enough batt to last 1 dvd, it was i not stupid 2 first (haha, i know it's a dumb show to watch), and urm, lots of diet cokes, lemonades, 20 pc nuggets, wang wang (not chao ta or salty enough), double decker crackers and hello panda in all 3 flavours (yay!).

laters, laptop ran out of batt so we had to shift to my clubhouse instead cos one more dvd to go! with remaining hello pandas (no more white one :( ) and urm double deckers, we proceeded there for goldmember and had unspoken war with random china guy living in estate who was totally disgusting, sweaty and inconsiderate.

so the 3 of us were having a war. 2 lappies against 1, ours and his, and i bet a vaio (pink one at that!) and a dell would beat some silly china model. us blasting rihanna and jay-z (under my umbrella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh) and austin powers saying "yeah baby yeah" versus his most probably highly suspected china/hentai porn.

the result? we won. HAHA, don't mess with vaio&dell. so anyway, 3 phrases we learn from i not stupid too.

"cool man"
"that's lame"
"whatever"

note to self: one will not let very bad news of the day get one down. (will NOT!)

the power of three

today is really a day of threes. well firstly, today = wednesday and wednesday = 3rd day of week. so anyway, met up with my beloved mich today cos she's back from malaysia truly asia and then what's new, we went to town. it's getting really boring actually, the whole repition of it all, it really drains the shopping spirit out of one. didn't get nothing except a book which i've been lusting after for almost a year now and that's only cos i decided to reward myself for not getting anything the entire day.

later, we headed to bugis where lester joined us and we helped him scout for his silly handphone which too bad, is out of stock everywhere. lester is officially candyman cos he bought us chocs from the cocoa trees and later, we had dinner at some jap restaurant over silly random stupid chit-chat, his attempts at flirting with the fillipino waitresses who spoke in jap, and him telling the waitress that me and mich are anorexic cos we're not eating. -rolls eyes-

one ate okay! one had soft shell crab and baby octupus. very nice but super small portions. on the way back, bumped into melissa and had highly awkward conversation with lester being mental and trying to humiliate the shit outta me by telling her "we're friends with special perks and that we do a single activity together" yada-yada as well as telling her that i club a lot and get "touched in funny places". urgh! melissa's from church in case you didn't know, great impression to make huh. especially when they're not even true.

silly lester. shall attempt to murder him tonight when he comes home stoned from drinks at clarke quay. hurhur

so anyways, 3 piccas for the power of three! (still am super lazy to charge camera)



me and michie baby



lester's attempt at taking the photo. as usual, it's all about him, him and him



my attempt: yay! all 3 of us! : )

and the PINK sony vaio speaks yo'

and just when i thought nothing could possibly make my day. no, make that a very horrible day spent moping at the nothingness of work, with bad sales, enough said.

behold the pink sony vaio, all in its cupboard splendour (in the box i mean) waiting humbly for me above my winnie the pooh sheets, screaming "touch me" ya all. anti-climax, but i didn't touch it, not right there and then; maybe after like 2 hours, which is weird, especially when i've been coming home every single day and shouting at my father "where is my vaio?!" and when it's finally here, i can't even be bothered to say hi to it, much less depackage it.

anywhohow, let me tell you how the vaio has changed my life juat in a mere 5 hours.
maybe 5 points for 5 hours?

1. now, whilst blogging, sex and the city is playing on my imac, which is great. i finally grasp the true meaning of multi-tasking :)

2. one has gotten fingernails stuck in keyboard non-stop. have bad ominous feeling fingernail will break, soon

3. one has revived windows version of msn which can truly put one's talents to good use i.e. nudging people continuously, playing my favourite minesweeper flags, drawing dicks and breasts etc

4. one finally owns something pink that one is not afraid to show to the world (i guess this is what they call pretty in pink huh?)

5. one has taken into consideration that uni might not even require the ownage of a laptop, hence the redundancy of one, and the fact that one is still able to possess it, or cheated my way into possessing it and succeeded, increases satisfaction level by hundredfold. maybe next time, i'll try to up my demands. a car, perhaps? LOL

p/s: one just used imac mouse thinking it was the mouse for vaio. HURHUR

hair for the hairless

hello! today is the official hair for the hairless day! me and prata being the hairless of cos. prata is my friend whom i've been through thick and thin with, both literally and figuratively, especially in the context of hair. i stuck by her despite times when her hair is thick,

like this:



this was when her hair was super thick due to excess of nutrients

or when her hair was not-so-thick, aka, like this:



her virginal experience rebonding hair, therefore not so thick anymore

anyway, her hair has been through labour contractions, a series of thick, not so thick, thin, etc etc. thus, today, she decided to revert back to thinner so as to allow thick to come out of thin. get it? if you don't you're just stupid. so at 50% off, she got herself a bob, very nice -nods approvingly- thanks to me (my brilliant idea) and straight hair at super cuts. no pics for that, cos she said her face is very oily, but i assure you, she looks like a very cute baby rhino now. : )

something like this, but with urm straight short hair:



so as you can see, one is very loyal, smart and supportive friend, after going through thick and thin with baby rhino (refer to picture).

and anyway, just as we are opposite in colour, she's black i'm white (get that into your head prata, i'm the one whose white!), i went the opposite and made my hair longer. haha, one actually wanted to dye hair, but due to fact that purple colour requires bleaching (who would have guessed?), one decided to go for hair extensions instead, which thankyouverymuch, and mind you, is very expensive hair. anyhow, one's hair is so long now, one can be rapunzel!

dum-dee-dum now my prince can save me from my torture chamber, although i live on the ground floor and you don't need much hair to climb through. lazy to take a pic of my verysuperduperlong hair let down, so here's a random pic of it being tied up, and me very happy with long ass hair.



realised you can't really see much hair but i don't really give a shit. as long as i'm happy : )

afters, me prata & fad went to catch ocean's 13 and honestly, i caught no ball for the first urm half an hour of the movie (attribute to inactive brain activity due to non-existence of school) and in the end, it was okay, better than 12, but still mediocre compared to 11. they really should have just stopped at 11, i remphasize.

we hooked up with our respective partners after the movie to head home for a good time:

this is prata's boyfriend:



my boyfriend:



fad's boyfriend:



and finally, YOUR BOYFRIEND!



haha! aka china midget who can twist and bend and fly lol

another sunday to get holy

today, i devirginised em baby at new crea church. haha! beat that! that sentence couldn't sound more blasphemous and ironic than it already does. anyway, you dirty minded freaks, i meant we went down to new crea tog for service and it's called devirginising cos it's his first time there (duh!). no pastor prince today but pastor idontknowwhatshisname was just as funny and entertaining with a sermon that included people dashing up stage just to get money and him getting another guy to hug him. lol.

we were supposed to feast on braised&roast duck laters but after heading from suntec ALL THE WAY to lavender (only in em's best intentions of cos :) ). realised duck store was closed after all (one predicted it all along) and so we cabbed down to vivo instead for urm, food court dinner. haha, just so you know, one is very practical and down-to-earth girlfriend okay, super accomodating and understanding to financial difficulties. lol, yahyah, after dinner, realised we should have just eaten somewhere better since we spent 20 bucks just in a food court. go ahead and roll your eyes but some people are just meant to lead a high life. LOL

oh! did i mention i saw meng meng and gf at new crea? of all people! didn't even know he's christian, him strutting around in a bright lime green tee shirt oblivious to everyone else who's already seated. told you today is holy sunday.

and to top off holy sunday for the week? came home and received a present from MM. guess what? a bible : )

yay, am super holy today (v.g. and hurrah for me!)

where has my brother gone?

yesterday, my father drove me to work and in the car, i asked:

me: "when is kor kor coming back?"
(if you don't already know, brother is currently in tibet trying to be a monk or something like that)
father: "when he has searched for the truth i guess"
me: "what truth?"
father: "religious truth"
me: "LOL -smirk-"

righttttt. so i am to assume that brother is never coming back.

nothing about today is blog-worthy except for the fact that prata gave me a surprise visit at work. yay! love her although she immediately ran off when i asked her to help me to fold boxes. LOL

dum-dee-dum

note to self: one should not be so quick to assume that people always have bad intentions cos it's not always they do.

fri(baby)day

fridays are happy days. except for the fact that one had to do morning shift today, fridays are still happy days. can't think of any reason why fridays shoudn't be happy whereas i can prolly tell you one million whys mondays will never be happy days, or tuesdays, or wednesdays, or any other day of the week for that matter. as a matter of fact, fridays are so good, jesus decided to die for you and me (hurrah!), so see, i'm not the only one who thinks fridays are good days. apparently jesus agrees with me too : )

equation: friday + claire - work = very very happy day
however, friday + claire + work = just a happy day

this friday, is specially reserved for my beloved em baby though cos i haven't seen him since forever and thus it's time to meet up or he'll just become my phone boyfriend. lol, anyway, today is celebrity day. saw jean danker and joanne peh (who is really not that tall!) and bumped into not-so-close-but-just say-hi-friends such as urm, jamie and clement. guess what my boyfriend bought for me today? oversized sunnies from topshop, i <3! haha, if you're single and reading this, you'll prolly be wanting me to stfu and curse that my sunnies break. too bad, will not stfu and will not break sunnies so ENVY ME! lol

and did i also forget to mention that i had great dinner with the boyfriend at soup spoon? soup + salad = little carbs (hopefully!) ok wait, make that very super duper good soup + small but yummy salad = little carbs but much satisfaction! : ) hmm, one is thinking of what else one can say to induce jealousy (am in a very spiteful mood you see, ignore me and close the window).

oh! let me tell you interesting incident one saw today! was at bugis mrt and some random girl was shouting at her mother before stomping off and mind you, girl was shouting so loudly, i think a million people were staring okay.

girl: FUCK YOUUUUUU!!!! CHEEBYEEEEEEEE LAH YOU!
mother: (too muffled, can't hear, mother should learn to shout as loudly as daughter)
me: let's go nearer! i can't hear! (haha)
em: describes his opinion on situation

poor mother. and i think the girl was pissed cos mother wanted her to go home. never knew someone had more love for bugis than i had. haha

realised post getting very wordy and lengthy. shall post pics instead



hello i like this pic



this is us in edited colours



sepia



my face is rounder, sigh



i'm so happy i made him cry : )



haha, don't mean to sound blasphemous but i find this shot extremely funny. the whole idea of jesus you know? jesus is watching over you. lol

anyway, one had massive liquid intake today but one wonders why no shit?

1 bottle of polka peach green tea + honey red tea + killiney's barley with lemon + 2 bowls of soup + 3 litres of ice mountain + 0.75l of peach tea = no shit + fucked body system (WHY?!) damn.

i just want to curl up and die

i feel terrible. seriously, i do, and i don't know why either.

maybe it's the fact that i worked full shift today and had to deal with loads of rude and uncivilised people who assume i'm the information counter and the chocolates surrounding me are just part of counter's design because the way they ask me for directions, it's as though i owe it to them to give them an answer, and if i really don't know, they give me the what the fuck kind of face like hello? just cos i work at harbourfront doesn't mean i know every single nitty gritty fuck about it ok. e.g. just cos you have a dick/vagina doesn't mean you know everything about it ok e.g. circumference, width, length blah blah blah

or maybe it's the fact that i had to cab back too because i was so tired and drained and people tried to cut my queue. best part? i queued for urm let's see an hour when i could have bus-ed back in 20 min and i paid like 20 times my bus fare (great, just great isn't it)

or it also could be that i just gulped down 1.5l of ice mountain at one shot, have severe headache, predict that one will have to wake up maybe 5-6 times during night to clear bowels and thus have interrupted sleep which is so not good cos one has to work morning shift tomorrow (sigh)

on a slightly happier note, one feels slighty happier and cheered up because:

one finished "we need to talk about kevin" by lionel shriver which is a super duper good book. and one bought yet another book and you won't believe it. it's a book i've actually read before and it's harry potter and the half blood prince cos one couldn't find anyone else who has it and one has to gear up and refresh one's memory for the final book (and no, one will not lend it to you :) try again next time!)

one has stuffed oneself with countless amounts of chocolates today, feels incredibly fat but at the same time, incredibly satisfied cos chocolates = happy endorphins! yay!

one wasn't alone to endure 9 hours of pure torture cos em came down and spent time with me and we were happy hitting each other non-stop and watching stupid people "eat" the pebbles on display simply because they're stupid enough to assume they're chocs -_-

you know miracles still exist when

HELLO HELLOOOOO PINK SONY VAIO! the impossible has become a reality! will be getting it in 3 days since parents have already booked it so hurrah! no turning back now!

so since miracles still do exist, all will be forgiven today and that includes prata pangseh-ing me about outing today, which means one is left with no plans and had to stay at home the ENTIRE day (for me that means a lot as i will be subject to mental and physical torture okay).

with no plans, and a very bad flu, and no mood to head down to bugis to collect jellies, one called gabe and got him to collect it for me (miracle number 2. THANKS LOTS!) so one decided to cheer oneself up by baking choc oatmeal cookies which in one's opinion, is very nice okay, all smiling happily back at me on the tray a shade of golden brown (with that, i smiled back). lol, i sound mad, but it must be due to aftermath of clarinase. flu medicines causes hallucinations, there you have it, your cheap alternative and easy source of drugs.

jethro rang from aussie today (miracle number 3 since it is so damn random) and it's nice to know that we're living totally opposite lives. e.g. it's winter there and it's almost drought here, nice to know we're not the only ones suffering over here. oh and my new maid came today so one does not have to drown in general permanent disarray of room. i think maid, her name is ruma (very indian sounding) likes me very much (either that or she's generally fascinated with white people) as she kept talking to me while i was making cookies. one was not used to it cos one has not talked to one's maids in very very long time except for things like "umbrella and plastic bag please" and when one needs help in locating one's clothes.

will be doing full shift tomorrow and one is glad one has half of book left to accompany me. very difficult book to read and i almost gave up in the start (could this be due to brain inactivity? gah!) but nevertheless, psychotic and weirdly enchanting. my type of book.

wish me luck in getting up and getting to work on time without aid of cab tomorrow!

for the love of family, and everything irrelevant

met up with my dearest gabby gabe today and we went to troll town (like what's new in life right), so urm anyway, it was supposed to be his shopping spree but in the end, he got nothing, and i ended up getting super irrelevant stuff like skull flats (very cute, mind you) and a stussy skull pencilcase (can you tell how hyped i am for school)? today is "skull day" so everything with skulls appeal to me. i wanted to get stussy skull bag but am currently running severe budget deficit due to investment in sony vaio and purchasing of irrelevant stuff.

we had dinner later, random silly hawker food cos the poor boy misses local food and afters, it was prata for him then we headed back to my place for stupid channel 8 show (nothing else to watch) and some random chit chat and free farts from dog. basicaly, no highlight of day so shall just post some random and irrelevant pics up. (wonder how many times one has used words random and irrelevant in this short post)

guess what i got in my mail today?



my very pretty pirates parade top! : )



hello!



wee-tard-ded



this is just. disgusting.



love this shot.



eww, peace out yo!

note to self: one refuses to be left alone in orchard mrt anymore and be traumatised by ex-convicts and surveyors who seem to like to specifically target me despite the fact that one was sitting on ledge with other random people and they only choose to approach me. do i have the "i love to do surveys and buy pens to support your prison break fund" face? seriously?

ifeelso(ireallycan'texpresseither)

(please try not to read this, just let me rant okay?)

so many compressed thoughts and emotions overtaking me, and so i decided to blog, and now, when i finally do, nothing seems to come out except the fact that i keep typing, hitting the backspace, hesitating, and then doing it all over again.

honestly, i think i can't handle relationships. maybe i'm too childish, too overbearing, too selfish or too whatever negative adjectives i refuse to let myself think of right now. but i guess that's it. it's almost the same for majority of my relationships, so super fly at the beginning, and then it just goes downhill from there. i guess the problem lies with me.

i guess i'm just not girlfriend material. i hate to be restrained, controlled, dictated, but it seems i can't break free from it all. it's not this relationship, it's every relationship. funny how simplicity only leads to complexity eventually. i miss the beginning, the simple stupid rubbish chit-chat that makes me laugh, i miss quality time spent even if it's just the reptition of things e.g. walking aimlessly around town, i miss listening(to), i miss that, this, you, us, and so much more. everything, i miss it all.

i saw the missed call, but i'm sorry i didn't call back, even though i'm still awake. i just don't know what to say anymore. i'm afraid, i'm sceptic, of what's to come when i pick up, or what's to come when i don't. i miss those times i could be explainable only to myself, but of cos, once again it's my own selfish thinking and that is what crumbles a relationship. i just want to be happy, and for you to be happy (with me) as well.

i don't want to conceal any part of me, because that would make me miss me, very much. but then again, if i don't, we might not last, and i might miss you more than anything else. somehow, things feel different, not like before anymore. i wish i could tell you why, but i don't know myself either. i guess it all comes back to what i told you before, and that "people change, they do, and they will, it's just a matter of time".

i liked the way you were, the way we were. is it really time to say goodbye?

this somehow feels like deja vu, and i hate it, i really do.

i don't know what/how to feel anymore.
(and no questions relating to this post okay? to anyone in particular. as i said, it's just me.)

day out with my BFFF (bff+family)

today was spent with my BFF in town, supposed to be at wcp macs but one is so damn unlucky, the dress one bought yesterday was the wrong one (cos one stupidly forgot to check it) so one had to go back and change it (damn). anyway, so one was royally about ONE hour late, and no ziluo, it's ONE, not two okay. so got dress changed, bought yet another book at kino (one is going mad), chilled out at soup spoon bitching and making weird noises and hand gestures (coordinated and uncoordinated ones), and then headed down to heeren to people watch and stare at tits. shared a cab back later cos one had to have family dinner in honour of one's brother going to tibet tom for monk tour (lol).

so we camwhored in cab. i upgraded ok! yesterday i camwhored in bus, and today, cab! : )



first attempt: very unsuccesful, zoom wasn't on, but god knows why our faces turned out so big



second attempt: better (much!)



and finally, cropped half of my face out cos face looked super fat but since ziluo insisted i put it up since he thinks the one which i look bad in he'll look best in, there goes. he does look the happiest here out of all 3 photos : ))

family dinner later after a very long long time at bali thai and had lots of good thai food. yummy! i guess family company is good once in a while, though i prolly can't survive it everyday, but once in a blue moon it's all nice and fuzzy and i guess today is the day with the blue moon. after dinner, we had milk teas at some hong kong cafe and heard family bitch about other members of extended family which was very funny. brother was a bit psycho tho, kept staring at me non-stop and saying "you're so cute lah porky" (porky=me, it's my nickname from him since i was young, yah, porky as in porky pig)

on a much much happier note: one is 3/4 way to getting pink sony vaio! hurrah! : )

sundays are days when:

one wakes up with exceptionally mad hair (i think one's hair realises one didn't get 10 hours of sleep the night before, thus is throwing bitch fit)

one's mother never fails to tell one that one is indecently dressed for church and that one should "dress appropriately and wear clothes that fit the occasion"

one moans and grumbles in church whenever the speaker is uber long and draggy and speaks in repitions. e.g. today, and one's mother said "God is speaking through the speaker. so are you telling God to shut up?" to which i reply "God has been hinting to speaker to stop beating around the bush already and stop saying "in conclusion" for the 100 millionth gazillion fifilion time already and yet still fail to conclude

one goes to work after church

however, THIS sunday is a bit different because:

gabe is back from nz! hurrah! and we bumped into each other twice in the same day (at church, and raffles city)

one was supposed to get jelly shoes, but couldn't in the end cos gal fell sick to which mongolian mother said "well, God is good, can you see? now you don't have to rush down from church to collect the shoes" and i reply "urmmmm, and how is that good? i wanted my jellys today" -_- seriously, my MM (shall abbreviate mongolian mother from now on) can be so irrelevant and out of point at times

MM said that my grandmother (which is also her mother-in-law, which explains what i'm about to say next) is an "attention seeker" and likes to "over exaggerate" (hmm, okayyyy)

one finally collected dunkin' donuts, after lots of hide-n-seek with the dunkin' donuts pple

one did not have work today, and instead, caught shrek3 with mich, xiuli and em and in my opinion 1&2 were much much better

one bought another dress (as i said, one loves "that feeling" aka the feeling of walking around naked)

one officially declares today as "i-bump-into-people-i-don't-expect-to-bump-into-day"

one takes photos in bus (after a very very long time)



us



xiuli's expression is like : classic



this is our version of the last supper or otherwise, the execution of michelle rose lee as administered by me and tan xiuli



i'm the only happy one around these days (yahyah, i know my face is fat ok so don't need to tell me again) maybe after you shove your face with donuts you'll understand too

note to self: one should really stop wishing for stupid things cos dog really did have another another mad romp on bed and now bedsheet is covered with lots of gross stuff so one has to change it again later. damn

my mongolian mother

this is my mongolian mother.

do you know what my mongolian mother did? yesterday, i painstakingly took 20 minutes to change my bedsheet cos there were massive amounts of furball on one's bed due to dog being mad and romping on one's bed. so urm, one was changing one's bedsheets at 5 freaking am in the morning. and today, one came home to find bed covered in disgusting aunty print bedsheets (gah!), and this is all thanks to my mother who changed the bedsheet cos she said "we are all entitled to our own bedsheets" and that "the blue one is mine". so there, i am now stuck with disgusting bedsheets which aren't even mine to begin with. hope dog has another mad romp at bed so one can get changed sheets to something better, more decent looking to be exact.

one is currently feeling very happy and excited because one can collect two things tomorrow so hurrah!

item number 1:



my white rounded jellies (which i can't find my size anywhere else in singapore)

yahyah, i know i said they were ugly before, but then again, they're not as ugly as crocs and i feel like i'm walking on bubbles so heck, one thinks comfort > ugliness ok, cos one is practical and not shallow (great quality in a person esp girlfriend, lol).

item number 2:



dunkin' donuts! otherwise known as the unattainables as one would never be able to get one's hands on them if not for brainy rjc kid who set up some silly webby cos one does not have one's passport because of (refer to mongolian mother). so yay, i can get dunkin' donuts without having to step in malaysia and getting robbed, raped or murdered. -beams-

if you're feeling jealous, you can go to www.dunkindonutszlhub.com so you can stop being jealous already.

oh anyway, this is quite funny, dunkin donuts people called me at work today to confirm my order and i was serving a customer, so when i saw anonymous number on my caller id, i picked up (no choice, cos handphone was blasting gnarls barkley's crazy at very embarassingly loud volume and customer was staring). voice sounded like emerick's so i naturally assumed it's emerick and went:

me: "hello?! HELLOOOO?! YAH WHAT YOU WANT LAH!"
dunkin donut person: "hello? urm...hello?"
me: -very pissed off and irritated, thinking its bad reception on em's part cos he said he was in train tunnel just now-
me: "AIYAH WHAT LAH, WAIT LAH"
me: -puts phone down without even waiting for reply-

it was only till i finished serving the customer and the same anonymous number called again and told me that they were from dunkin' donuts did i realise OHMYGOD.

so urm, haha right, will be meeting them tom so wish me luck. LOL

your boyfriend!

-YOUR BOYFRIEND DIED-

hello, this is your boyfriend. he likes to go clubing (i don't know what that is, maybe the other b went to bang girls instead) and he loves poping (i think he means popping, but then again, could also mean pooping). anyway, if you're reading this, this is your boyfriend, and omg! he is so darn hot. LOL

work today was b-o-r-i-n-g with very good sales and urm, only happy thing to rejoice over is that i got a david & goliath tee courtesy of my BFF and it is so cute! : )



it reads "please go suck somewhere else". cute right?!

anyway, check out the website itself.

www.davidandgoliathtees.com

especially the screened tees section. SUPER DUPER CUTE!
