I MET SOMEONE SHORTER THAN CHEN MUN!!

2008-10-02T15:52:00.001+08:00

What do you think? I stoop so low for height accommodation and I'm still taller.

Sorry Chen Mun! :D Muahahahaha.

New quilt covers

2008-10-02T15:48:00.001+08:00

So I bought new quilt covers...

Moulin Rouge quilt covers. *growls* Of course, I put on my sexy lingerie, and started making random animal poses on my bed - and NO I did not take any photos.

Nick likies it too!

With the woollen socks his grandmother made for him. It's so sweet!

And then I vomited over my sheets due to a mix of chivas and sheesha, and Paul helped me make my bed. :D

Maluga boys pamper me.

I made curry, and it was goooooood

2008-10-02T15:44:00.001+08:00

Need I say more?

Oh yeah, I used a pre mixed paste. =D

Devina hates walking

2008-10-02T15:41:00.001+08:00

Well now that I have a car, I don't have to deal with this God forsaken road anymore. See that curve at the end of the road? That's normally what kills me, walking back from Uni. This is me walking back, looking ahead to my imminent death, and deciding to take a picture to document my misery.

It was a very intriguing lecture Part 3

2008-10-02T15:39:00.001+08:00

This is for Torts.

First lecture of the semester. I tried to listen, I swear! But she's a horrible lecture!

All I got was, negligence = breach of duty of care by act or omission, injuring another person.

Then played tic tac toe and hangman with Jeffrey. :D If you take the time to open up the picture and zoom, you'll see how Jeffrey was 'hanged' cause he couldn't guess that the 'Feeling' was BRAIN DEAD.

Segregation in the airports

2008-10-02T15:32:00.001+08:00

Flying back to Hobart from Brisbane...

I needed to pee, and was started craning my neck around looking for the toilets. I saw a door right in front of me, got up, and quickly sat back down.

I know, stupid, but it was early. I ACTUALLY thought you ACTUALLY had to be a virgin to go into the bathroom, and they would check me if I went in or something.

3 seconds later of course, I realised it was like, Virgin AIRLINES' toilet kinda thing. But I was far too paranoid and embarrassed to go anymore.

Fantastic parking skills

2008-10-02T15:29:00.001+08:00

Now, I know you won't believe me but... I DIDN'T PARK THIS.

We walked away, I took a glance back and stopped.

Paul, "... BAH forget it."

It was a very intriguing lecture Part 2

2008-10-02T15:28:00.001+08:00

This one's for Criminal Law, before exams, sitting with my fellow country man, Ibsen.

Naturally, I quickly lost interest and took to uh... decorating Ibsen's arm. He does it to himself all the time! I thought I'd take it upon myself to make my mark too.

I particularly like where I boxed the area he kept scratching, labeled it Itchy, and arrowed 'Scratch Here!' :D

It was a very intriguing lecture

2008-10-02T15:25:00.001+08:00

Sitting right at the back in the utmost corner of the lecture theatre gives you a bird's eye view to everything... Like your very studious fellow classmates who are vigorously taking notes.

Wait, wait, look closer...

Of course, needless to say I wasn't being that fantastic myself, discreetly taking photos of others! Won't be able to do that with my new N95i, seeing as it has a very loud click sound, imitating that of an actual camera.

It's all about keeping yourself occupied

2008-10-02T15:21:00.001+08:00

My gong gong passed away in April, and I flew back to see my family and attend the funeral.

Hung around with my sister's friends during the wake and ate peanuts...

...and decorated. Pretty huh? Now imagine the WHOLE table just covered in it. This was just some we did after my brother came and swept the table clean, dumping our hard work into the trash.

MY BABY

2008-10-02T15:17:00.001+08:00

You've heard of her, and now I show you her.

:D Don't mind the price tag on the second photo - that was when we took her out for a test drive.

Still haven't named her. Ah she's such a beauty she breaks my heart...

My First Fine

2008-07-16T15:35:00.000+08:00

Okay, maybe not my car's first fine, but that was Jaq's stupidity that did it, not me. We were sitting right by the car, blocked by a stupid slab or concrete, and our dear friend here said he would get the parking voucher for the car. As time went by, he didn't move, while I kept fruitlessly trying to crane my neck to see my car, if any parking attendant was coming by. Couldn't see, and Jaq didn't seem worried, so I stopped fussing. We went back, and there on my windscreen was a bloody ticket, for being like a half hour over. AND WE WERE SITTING RIGHT THERE. At least he very rightfully paid for it.

But anyway, I still consider this MY first fine. Rushing for one hour Criminal Law lecture, and just couldn't find any parking. Was so annoyed that there was so much space for the permit holders, but the general parking was completely full. So I thought, just 50mins, so parked in a permit spot and ran for class. Came back and there was a soaked ticket on my windscreen. Sigh...

Depressing.

My Easter Bunny

2008-06-15T19:50:00.001+08:00

After I came back from Melbourne where I got the chance to see (but hardly join after a full body ache from 5hours of training after a year of absence!) Filhos da Bahia's batizado, I was craving Easter eggs (yes, I realise that was in March and it's June now!)

So a mention to Jaq... and then I happened to look at this egg that was for sale and looked for a moment too long.

Apparently Hillie's is awesome chocolate. I wouldn't know though - it's still sitting on my table. Sayang to open. Hehe. Damn nice packaging! And it's huge!

Does God look to the back of toilet doors?

2008-06-15T19:44:00.001+08:00

Other than all the hate and confused religious and anti-abortion stuff, I still find this funny.

Hehehehehe.... In the law faculty toilet some more...

CAMRY?!?!

2008-05-02T20:10:00.000+08:00

Rented a car for a day to get some shopping done in preparation for the winter. Was fun getting driven around, and did some driving too. Went up Mount Nelson twice - haha.

Booked a Corolla or similar, went there, and we got the Toyota Camry! Jaq and I got so excited we started laughing at each other like cows.

The end of my driveway. I find it dodgy that you can see the top of your car from the top of your driveway - just illustrates the impossible slope of a driveway I have to deal with when I go home.

Stupid fool trying to look cool...

Then stupid fool insisted on forgoing with the jacket because he "doesn't need it now that we have the car." Naturally, dumbass got cold and ran back to the car.

Second time up Mount Nelson.

This time, we dragged the boys out as well. :D

Hong Kong Day 4

2008-03-30T11:37:00.001+08:00

Last day in Hong Kong...

Woke up early and went to the Ladies Market before anything was even opened. Got to walk around and have a feel for the hustle and bustle as they were getting set up. Almost got speared by some of those long lethal metal structures.

Wanted to buy new shoes because seriously, I love my boing boings, but they gotta go.

So bought me a new pair of New Balance!

Cannot close my damn suitcase... Not like I did THAT much shopping... IT WAS ALL MY SISTER'S STUFF!

Bloody guy messed up my booking for the shuttle bus to the airport... So I had to take a cab. Expensive ah... Then reached there, and still had to wait half an hour before I could check in. Damn it, and I thought I was late, so damn scared!

Hong Kong Day 3

2008-03-30T08:40:00.001+08:00

Oh in case you were wondering, Day 3 was 18 January 2008. :D

Argh, too many photos to provide commentary. Plus, I'm trying to do my assignment. If you wanna know, come and talk to me.

Hong Kong Day 2

2008-03-30T08:22:00.001+08:00

Okay, I AM SO SORRY!

I forgot to upload photos of my Hong Kong trip, other than the first day.

The only reason I forgot is because I didn't take that many photos. And when you go on holiday alone, you're not in any of the photos.

Walking to the MTR to explore Hong Kong and do shoooooping.

The system damn steady k...

I kid you not, ice skating rink in the damn shopping centre.

Met my sister and her friend (whose name escapes me now, 2 months after the trip) for dinner, and this was the SALAD. We went to the one American portion restaurant in the whole place.

Sleeping...

2008-03-30T08:15:00.001+08:00

Like a human.

Hehehehehehehehehhehehehehe!

BEN & JERRY'S!

2008-03-30T08:14:00.001+08:00

If I'm not wrong, this was Deepavali and my Aunt's place. Dinner with the cousins.

Anand had bought 4 pints of ice cream.

Then Jarrod came and announced he had bought 4 pints of ice cream.

After ALL the curry, we just couldn't wait to digest fully to dig into the ice cream, so we started calling for ice cream like just 20minutes after eating.

And THIS appeared.

Look closer...

I don't know HOW we did it, but we managed to have EIGHT DIFFERENT FLAVOURS OF BEN & JERRY'S ICE CREAM!!!

Jealous, jealous?

End of Exams Dinner!

2008-03-30T08:08:00.001+08:00

Yes, yes, I realise I should be scolded and whipped for ALWAYS taking SO LONG to update. To the extent that I'm posting about dinner we had after exams, and I'm already starting school in Australia.

IN MY DEFENCE, this dinner was in January! So it's not THAT bad...

Had dinner with the part-time class (near school some more, glutton for punishment) at Fish & Co. Shalini appeared! With her kids! Whee so great to see her.

Dad allowed me to take the car, which was cool. I left the house in a very confident manner just to show him nothing to worry about - got in the car and was all, "crap, how do I get to Audrey's place?!"

To sum it up... I didn't REALLY get lost. I mean, I knew where I was, it was just which SIDE I was on. So like, I was on the wrong end picking up Audrey... then we took the wrong exit to dinner (supposed to exit Dhoby Ghaut we happy happy took Orchard exit)... then we went to my gong gong's place after to pick up my mum... and went down the wrong end too.

It was fun, though! At least I didn't scratch the car this time.

Nemo Stamps!

2008-03-30T08:03:00.001+08:00

Yes, I bought Nemo stamps online.

What can I say, they're cute!

Bye Max!

2008-03-30T07:58:00.001+08:00

Since Beamy has passed away, we've let Max out to the front, which he absolutely loves. So much that at the end of the night, the boy doesn't wanna go back behind. So cute. Make dunno only when we call him.

The cute thing is, he now gets to see us when we leave, instead of the poor fella being stuck behind, cannot see anybody. But ayioh so heartbreak la! It now takes us longer to drive away because he'll come and stare at you with one sad face, like, "Where are you going without me?"

He got quite excited cause I came back to take this photo... Haha.

It was a REALLY hot day, and my clever boy knows to sit in the shade. Haha!

Sleepy heads

2008-01-31T23:37:00.000+08:00

Hehehehehehehehehe.

'Nuff said.

Oh by the way, CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. Whatever you do, do not let this photo get into the hands of my mother!

My best friend

2008-01-31T10:05:00.000+08:00

It's no secret I only have 2 groups of really close friends, Audrey & Chen Mun etc., the group from Secondary School, and then Farhan & Mei Yen.

This is a post dedicated to Farhan.

I'm sure you've seen the earlier post about his damn Beemer. I've gotten over it. Now I would just like to support his self humiliation.

FIRST OF ALL, WAS THIS.
Yes, he's CHUN LI.

Then most recently, WAS THIS.
He's Blossom.

I worry.

Beamy... my baby boy...

2008-01-24T21:52:00.000+08:00

Well, my friends, my dear Beamy has passed on.

He had some kind of disease that screwed up his balance, made him nauseous etc., and he couldn't walk. We found him in the morning lying in his urine because he couldn't get to the garden. My poor dear.

Vet said it's a disease that targets old dogs, and should go away after 1-3 days. After the third day, we made a decision and put him down.

For all your weird sleeping positions my dear...

Under the shoe cabinet in our new house...

the end of the driveway one morning...

and sleeping so still, i can put a jasmine behind your ear. :)

love you.

Baking cookies!

2008-01-24T21:45:00.000+08:00

MONSTER COOKIES.

I didn't realise they would expand by so much!

Snickers

2008-01-23T23:20:00.000+08:00

This ad is gone now of course, but I stared at it for a good month I think, whenever I went to work, or going back after lunch.

I never really fancied snickers, but my God, that's some fabulous advertising. I wanted it so badly everytime I saw that ad.

Thankfully, I'm stronger than that, and never succumbed!

To everything else of course, but not to the snickers! I refuse to bow down to propoganda!

Singapore Exchange

2008-01-23T23:18:00.000+08:00

My boss does a lot of bonds stuff with the Singapore Exchange, so once in a while if we're rushing to make a submission and we don't wanna wait for our despatch, Salleh, I end up taking a walk.

The escalator up to the mail room... is looooong...

This is me already 1/3 the way down (yes I was going down, because I was too stunned on my way up to think quickly and take out my camera. Not that you would be able to tell a difference. I could turn around and take a shot.), after fumbling with my phone, taking it out and turning on the camera and stuff. Very very very fun.

Present from Ms. Chia

2008-01-23T23:16:00.001+08:00

Ms. Chia went to... okay, somewhere in Malaysia, and came back with this for me. Thank you Ms. Chia!

It's pretty, but I realise how the office people think I'm a sweet gentle girl who likes sweet delicate things.

It's quite funny.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, I was marking off the dates till my referral exam for Criminal Law.

Eeyore Coffee Mug!

2008-01-23T23:14:00.000+08:00

Got my own coffee mug! And it's cute! And huge! And purple! And with Eeyore!

I swear my desk is a HELL lot neater now.

Nasty Cut

2008-01-23T23:12:00.000+08:00

Working in an office is hazardous - ask Chen Mun.

Blood wouldn't stop flowing even though I kept mopping it up.

Letter of Confirmation

2008-01-23T23:09:00.000+08:00

I am confirmed staff!

Finished my 3 months of probation, and got called into Gwen's (office manager) office. I thought I screwed up something for accounts again, but she handed me the envelope, which contained my letter of confirmation.

I bounced back to Ms. Chia and started waving it in front of her face.

"Guess what!"

"Oh, right. Your letter of termination."

"Wow, you're funny."

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!

2008-01-23T23:04:00.000+08:00

Was driving by one day (or specifically, 11 November 07) and decided to drop by my home and see how it was.

Was with Adrian, and the only thing he noticed was the amount of crap, and the barricades.

But I saw something, "What the hell is that?! Oh my God, it's a face!"

"You mean the rubbish?"

"Dude, NO. Look!"

It's a DOG.

Told everyone, and my sister and brother went back to take a look some days later. She told me they got down and went to take a closer look. Apparently there was shit everywhere. And the poor dog's face was half covered with flies. We didn't know what to do about it - whether to call the police and SPCA or something. Sigh, my beautiful home.

MOVED

2008-01-23T22:59:00.000+08:00

Oops! I don't think I've posted about my move.

Finally left 54 Jalan Pergam, for 45 Riverina Crescent.

The house was so empty, every movement I made had an echo. I only came back and saw it at night cause I was at the new house, and could only come back at night when we came to get Beamy. And dinner.

The only thing we left behind was the curtains, and my wardrobe. Sigh...

Christmas Eve

2008-01-23T22:44:00.000+08:00

Christmas Eve and my Uncle Subhas's birthday.

First, was rushing stuff at work, cause we were all leaving at 12plus to go to Manhattan Fish Market for lunch. My boss was rushing to send out Christmas e-cards, but when the girl who was helping us out (Ms. Chia's friend's daughter) finally got a computer going (i.e., MY computer, because everything else went haywire so I graciously gave mine up), it's WAS 12plus. I ended up taking the whole list home and doing it from home, rushing it out before my family was supposed to leave at 6plus for my Uncle Subhas's place. Of course, the damn site was a bitch. Took me hours to finish it. But my family waited patiently - thank you!

Was fun at my Uncle Subhas's place. My Aunty Vimi is a GREAT cook. Oh man... There was turkey, and ham, and roast chicken, and pasta, and all kinds of vegetables. The food was FANTASTIC. Thankfully, from that night, she promised to hand over some of her receipes and teach me how to cook, since poor me will be going to Australia and will cry for Singapore's food. She has - will be trying my hand this weekend I suppose. Anybody brave to test? Doctor will be at the table. :)

Anyhoo, to round off the night - brother spilt root beer on my Aunty Vimi's rug. My youngest cousin Sujesh got a hell beating from my dad about his earrings - apparently we're all waiting for him to come out of the closet (APPARENTLY, according to my father). Dad himself was wasted, which was why he was being so mean. Uncle Subhas was going on and on about how he almost DIDN'T make it to 60, which creeped me out. Mum got drunk too, and was asleep on the massage chair when it struck midnight, and we were all popping noisemakers and blowing those loud trumpt blasted things and shouting Merry Christmas! and Happy Birthday! And she was in a corner snoring.

My brother was falling asleep. My sister WAS asleep. My parents were drunk. It was up to poor me to drive everyone home, including a friend of Uncle Subhas'. Dropped him off at his place, which was like a CASTLE. Turns out the guy is like smokin rich. It was like a condo, only, IT WAS A HOUSE. He had like his own basement carpark. "Can fit 20 cars." "20 cars?!" "Oh no, we only have around 10." "Oh, only. That's okay then."

Was falling asleep at the wheel, which was NOT cool. So was blinking rapidly to stay awake. Otherwise it was slow blinking, which I would then definitely fall asleep, or if I kept my eyes open, I would fall asleep... with my eyes open.

Made it home with everyone safe and secure, save for a moment on the expressway where I got terrified for a moment because the lorry in front of me was weaving like crazy. Driver was falling asleep too. Thankfully, he was only going at 50. Unfortunately, he was on the left lane, so with all his weaves, it kept appearing like he was making an exit, just to weave back halfway onto middle lane, then weave back onto the road shoulder.

Yikes.

Christmas Tree

2008-01-23T22:32:00.000+08:00

Okay, gonna try and do a bit of updating!

We received a Christmas Tree!

Gorgeous thing... The whole house was strong with the smell of pine, so much that my eyes were watering. The fantastic thing was - we didn't even pay for it! Someone gave it to my dad.

In relation to the fan, the doorway, and... well... the tv, I guess you can tell how BIG it is.

The day we got it, I obviously ran out (well, more like slouched over to Raffles City after gruelling capoeira class) and bought more than $200 worth of decorations, and decorated the tree on that night itself. Dad's orders - family was coming over the next day for my Granny's pooja.

Decorated by myself, although a certain Chinese boy with an American slang might tell you he helped. But onlookers (ahem, EVERYONE ELSE) will tell you the truth - sometimes, you're more a hindrance than a help!

Day 1

2008-01-17T13:12:00.000+08:00

Yes, yes, I know it has been forever since I updated. Again, my computer is full of photos I've wanted to uploaded but never found the time.

But now I'm on holiday! Few have been told, but here I am in Hong Kong! My sister is here on work, so hey! Free accommodation.

Flight was at 6.20am, so I woke up at 4am. Dad insisted on sending me, no matter how many times I said I'll take a taxi. Insisted on coming in with me. Sigh... so cute. My sister couldn't stop shaking her head. My dad still looks at me like a baby. It's sweet.... when it's sweet. Other time it's just - stop nagging!

Hehe, poor fella was falling asleep at the wheel, though.

Boo boo 1: My sister told me the weather was okay - not so cold. And if my sister says it's not so cold, it should be perfect weather for me. So I packed one small jacket that's more trendy than warming, and like 3 long sleeved shirts, 2 jeans, couple of socks, that's it. As we were touching down... I distinctly heard the captain say, "11 degrees celsius." Now that wouldn't be so bad if not for -

Boo boo 2: I did not have my jacket on me. I had my suit case (which was practically empty), a duffel bag, and my laptop bag with only my laptop in it. My dad told me to merge into one bag, then pack in one bag. So i dug through my duffel bag, took out my phone, wallet etc. then packed in my duffel bag into my suitcase, with my jacket inside. I thought if it's cold, I can just dig it out after I pick up my suitcase. Now that wouldn't be so bad if not for -

Boo boo 3: I'm flying by Jetstar. Hell I saved $200, but they didn't go to the airport. We were dropped like far far from the terminal, and had to get on a bus that took us to the terminal. Those were like freezing 30 seconds before I got on the bus. But we reached the terminal, so it's okay. It was freezing cold, my lips were blue, but I have a jacket. In my suitcase. I just had to collect it. Now that wouldn't be so bad if not for -

Boo boo 4: I had locked my duffel bag in my suitcase. Guess where the keys were? Yep, in the damn duffel bag!! Now that wouldn't be so bad if not for -

Boo boo 5: I was an hour away from the hotel. Took the shuttle bus, which thank God was warm inside. But the damn bus driver dropped me in the corner of the street, and I had no idea it was my stop, so I don't know why he was so peeved I didn't know it was my stop. I thought he was dropping me in front of the hotel! Turned out he was supposed to - my sister saw where I was dropped off and kept saying the bus driver was mean.

So took my key from front desk, dropped off my stuff, and thank God the staff had like this big plier wrench thingy and broke my lock. So I bundled up, took my money, and went in search for lunch! I wanted authentic Hong Kong food (which is why I avoided the Burger King at the airport), like char siew wan ton mee.

Everything looked weird though - couldn't tell what everything was by the pictures. And all the places were full, and people inside were staring at me, so I was afraid to go inside.

It became that my first lunch was -

Boo boo 6: Krispy Kreme donut.

Sigh.

Spent a fair bit.

Boo boo 7: Met my sister who took me to a local place, so finally had my wan ton mee. Then, I dunno why, we decided to go and have dessert. GOOD dessert, but COLD dessert none the less. And my God... why did we do it, when it was such a chilly night?!

Anyway, going out now to take the MTR and travel far and do more shopping. On my own for afternoons while sister's at work, then we'll grab dinner and quickly come back to the hotel for hot water. Haha.

Is fun. Will put up more photos!

"Good morning, Goodwins Law Corporation."

2007-09-25T22:40:00.000+08:00

guess who got a jo-ob?

Devina is now Secretary to Corporate Director, and being paid quite nicely for it.

and of course, when you have a sweet friend, this is what happens.

before...

after!

thanks Saracura.

and it's back to the morning breakfast of Old Chang Kee - mee fen and sausage. it used to be from Sengkang MRT whilst working at Sentosa, now it's at Pasir Ris. aahhh.

plus, you know you're doing a good job when you're staying late on your first week, and the hallway is dark.

Happy 70th Aunty Su

2007-09-25T22:35:00.000+08:00

Aunty Su's 70th birthday at the China Club.

so, we need to buy her 12 red roses. i bring Adrian to the market to get it, to SHOW him that you can spend less on an entire bouquet of roses in a market, then some stem in a shop.

so we bought this beautiful arrangement, which my Aunty loved, which just made me swell inside.

predictably, at the shop, there were these purple flowers i couldn't keep my eyes off, and Adrian chased me away and bought me a bouquet.

which of course, sparked the comment from my dad when he came home and found them on the table - "aww for me?"

DO NOT SIT

2007-09-25T22:34:00.001+08:00

hahahahahahahaha

the first of its kind.

and in Little India, in case you were wondering.

Lost Dog

2007-09-25T22:32:00.000+08:00

Please help me find my dog, otherwise i can't eat and sleep.

now i wouldn't make fun of people who lost their dogs... cause that's really distressing...

but come on!!! this ad is just calling for a jibe!!

Farhan gets a new car

2007-09-25T22:18:00.000+08:00

yes yes i know, it's been a while. but babies, i've been busy!

so whilst title says Farhan gets a new car, i think it's lost its thrill already.

BUT STILL!

so farking unfair!!

the student, who lives in hostel (and mind you, students live in hostel so they don't have to travel up and down) gets a freaking Beemer!

basket.

and to add insult to injury...

BASKET.

An Inconvenient Truth

2007-07-18T23:12:00.000+08:00

Do it.

Happy 19th Skin

2007-07-06T13:53:00.000+08:00

and it is Chen Mun's 19th birthday. Audrey and i surprised her with a brownie cake from Mrs. Fields, my favourite lady. had to go early, buy the cake, and bring it to Marina Square. and i realised that when i was walking around looking for Breeks, that Chen Mun herself was there, walking towards City Hall to meet me. so i called her, found out where she was and made her come back.

on the pretense of asking for the bill on my way back from the 'loo' (where i tried calling the restaurant but the line was busy), i asked one of the waiters if he could help with the cake i had hid there earlier.

they came out 5 minutes later. first the AC went off. i felt it, cause i was freezing, and suddenly the air was so still. great thinking guys. then the lights started going off, and we were like, "eh, black out ah?" then the whole service staff came out carrying the cake and holding a paper up to the candles so no stray wind would blow them out. they were walking so slowly, they finished the song halfway across the restaurant. conveniently, we were all the way at the end of the restaurant. so that was an awkward funny moment.

we went to City Space, at Swissotel, the bar on the 70th floor (you know, Equinox?) we went to the loo first and it was pweety.
the singer at the bar sang Chen Mun a happy birthday song.

"So happy birthday to you girl... haha look at you so cute... how old are you, 14?!"

*Audrey and Devina beside themselves with laughter*

Happy Birthday Shortay.

*oh and yeah! guess who got a hair cut on the day of her last paper? it's been exactly a month and it's grown.

2 more months...

2007-07-05T02:30:00.000+08:00

and it's bye bye home...

cry with me.

my darling number 54... and my black and white gate which has been there forever.

the mango tree in the back garden...

my darling lovely front garden. sigh the new home hardly has any greenery. and only a front area! no back area.

the road i remember. my sidewalk. and the place i've gotten used to parking the car in.

the swingset we got recently, where the swing actually faced the house because otherwise the entrance would be on the otherside of the swing. it also allowed us to hook up a fence thingy to keep Beamy in the back and away from Granny and ma. no more yelling of, "Go to your corner!" back then he could hear and obeyed. also, the swing's can't be used since the wooden seat broke. you've seen photos of my brother.

no more big room for my darling Beamy... *whine whine* ah la la sayang...

Folding... Folding...

2007-07-05T02:24:00.000+08:00

holidays are upon me again, a month of which has gone by, severly and thoroughly enjoyed.

now i'm generally up till 4am every day, and of late, eating all the cadbury chocolates in the world (seriously Cheeks, stop buying them!), and watching House (thanks, baby) on DVD.

of the episodes i've already seen? i've taken to the renewed attempt at finishing the pack of coloured paper, carefully folding them into beautiful cranes, via the art of Japanese origami. you guys are geniuses.

and in one night, i realised i've sidetracked and missed episodes to fold the cranes instead, and decided to stop after the fingers are tender.

for one night, it's a lot. seriously. honestly. you try it. it's so intricate! why i had to buy the small paper...

and in case you were wondering...

2007-07-05T02:21:00.001+08:00

what Adrian looked like?

well first of all, the joy of dating a Yankee (yeah yeah okay born in HK, raised in Virginia, but still a Yankee!) is that he's so not gadget friendly, which allows you to snap photos of him without him realising that that function was a camera, and not a mirror.

and allows me to inform you that the answer is....

a chinese Shrek.

Gabriel Iglesias, "Eiya Martha, Martha, look at that chubby boy - he looks like Shrek ah? All he needs are the antennas and the donkey, that's it!"

Happy Birthday Cadbury Girl

2007-07-05T02:17:00.003+08:00

so what was supposed to be a birthday dinner for Adrian becomes a date and birthday celebration for me, even though his birthday is a month later than mine.

and Adrian has a present for me even though i had nothing for him.

the box is purple. it has Tinker Bell on it. it's filled with cadbury chocolate.

what can i say? it's a guy after my very heart.

daddy's old sunnies

2007-07-05T02:08:00.000+08:00

the sunglasses my brother gave me fell apart, so my dad brought it to this shop to fix it, but not in time for my brother's POP, which was hella early in the morning. so my dad told me he had some sunnies i could use.

one of which was really really old. and i was adamant in not wearing it.

"why, what's wrong with it? cool, what."

and he liked it so much, he subconsciously kept it on whilst watching the tv.

life's never boring in this household.

BEWARE - laser

2007-07-05T02:06:00.001+08:00

i went to my dad's clinic to get my chicken pox vaccine, and there was this new big sticker outside my dad's door. it said radiation, or laser or something scary like that. when i asked him about it, he pointed to the end of his office, "there," and it was the machine used to zap and remove hairs or tattoos or something.

i turned back and laughed myself stupid.

Mind your...

2007-07-05T01:56:00.000+08:00

i just thought this was hilarious. i've seen mind your step. but this just sounds... just a tad rude. hahaha. it's funny. i just find it... so cute.

and it's at mcdonald's.

Fish are Friends!

2007-06-12T00:26:00.000+08:00

during a particular CLRI lesson where Legal Aid was being discussed (sorry Shalini, i love you, but Legal Aid doesn't exactly make me jump for joy), and i got a bit carried away with my foolscap paper.

i couldn't bear to throw it away so it became my file for my spare papers, so it proved more useful.

ah well. threw it away last night.

and yeah, in case you were wondering, i didn't eat fish for that month.

And here is the difference!!

2007-06-12T00:08:00.000+08:00

Finally, ladies and gentlemen, after 6 months of BMT (due to the fact that he was in the extreme obese camp), my brother is having his passing out parade on Wednesday, which my sister and i have already promised to go to, obviously before finding out that we're supposed to be AT Pasir Ris AT 7.30fuckingam.

but oh well, it'll be worth it.

and after 6 months, even though the smelly and unhygenic habits still remain (for crying out loud, lift the toilet seat!) i do see a marked difference. more sunlight, for one.

tell me you see it too.

It's packed away!

2007-06-12T00:02:00.000+08:00

Got together ALL my notes, organised it by subject, by chapter, by date. very orderly, very perfect, and i nicely hole punched them all and sorted them into separate binders.

got out 2 boxes (including the UOL box) and fit in all my law books, the notes, plus the file i was using during the induction period.

i kept rearranging everything to get everything to fit in nice and snug, and taped them allllllll shut. moved it into my Granny's room, ready for moving.

and then i fucking found a stack of SIC notes hidden under a pile of foolscap paper, some last minute revision before my Contract paper.

son of a... *violent gestures*

whatever it is....

it's over...

My Room

2007-06-11T23:52:00.000+08:00

in an effort to help me memorise things better, i have typed out my notes, printed them out and stuck them all over my walls. unfortunately, i only managed to do so for 6 chapters of Criminal Law.

what a headache... i think this was how people became insane. anyway, my dad has sold the house *loud bawls of tears* so... bye bye room. and i will be moving into the smallest room in the house.

sigh... fine then. "You snooze you lose," right?

Now we know how they sleep...

2007-06-11T23:42:00.000+08:00

was driving... somewhere. i can't remember. haha. but i noticed a leg of a cat under the car of my neighbour so i squatted down to take a look.

hehehehehehehehehehehehe. i never giggled so hard...

oh right! i was sending my brother to Pasir Ris. hehehehehehe.

so cute!!

A woman's suffering

2007-06-11T23:33:00.000+08:00

yep. my foot's banged up.

first of course, is the big toe, which is still in the process of growing back.

then wearing high heels has killed my last 2 toes as well with blisters.

in case you can't tell from the first photo, check out the bulbing blister from this picture! isn't it huge?! ouch man...

and my toes look funny.

Flat tyre!

2007-06-11T23:17:00.000+08:00

so came home from studying just in time to see my dad drive past me. i grabbed the keys from him and was all, "shall we go for dinner?" (okay this was after sharing the 'dinner' with Audrey and Perry, eating left over noodles and nasi lemak with our hands!). dad grunted an okay and grudgingly went over to the passenger's side, so we drove to changi village and had proper nasi lemak. with fork and spoon.

drove home, and just as my dad popped into the shower thinking he can FINALLY go to sleep, my sister calls sounding distressed. "Nina, where's daddy? We got a flat tyre!"

oh joy.

made daddy come out of the shower and i speed drove to around Kallang area, where we found my sister and her friend Germaine struggling. apparently it wasn't that they didn't know how to change a tyre, but that they couldn't even pull the wrench out of the car!! it was stuck. whenever my sister runs into trouble, she immediately calls my dad, as she did this time even though Germaine was talking about getting a tow truck. "You think what, your dad will come and do one move and it will come out is it??" "Well, that's what he always does!"

and sure enough... he fiddles for 20 seconds and out it pops. sigh i swear... i can't even believe my sister is doing her masters she's so dense sometimes. don't worry che i still love you.

anyway, fixed up her tyre and off we went. my poor daddy.

"sigh... thought can come home early and sleep by 10. now it's almost midnight and i'm going to have to take another shower."

according to my sister, when she told my gong gong about this, he so wisely said that for the sake of your daughter, must standby and be boyish again. a daddy's job is never done.

Studying with Audrey

2007-06-11T00:37:00.001+08:00

well you realise how much photos you've accumulated at the end of studying. so i'm just gonna lump it together here.

so been studying with Audrey and her 2 friends, Perry and Ameer, at the Esplanade library. the place is HELL cold, and the toilets are on every other floor except the one with the library on it, which i can only assume is for space purposes, and the seats make my butt fall asleep after a while.

anyhow, after dinner one day, we went back to the library and they were having a show by these kids at the Art Cafe. they do this once in a while, and it was pretty cool.

we went to the roof one evening to have our dinner. Audrey and i went to the loo first, and we came and found Perry... uh... well. shoeless.

so yep, we were gonna have our dinner, and these guys buy their lunches and dinner to save money, and i somehow never got the chance to buy anything, which could be mostly attributed to the fact that i get there around... after lunch. haha brilliant.

so this was left over nasi lemak and some noodles that we were gonna share, and we just plopped it all together, and realised we had NO utensils.

brilliant minds. all in the name of law exams, everyone.
we went up to the roof again to have lunch and it was about to rain. it looked really scary. and that thing's about up.

all in all, it has been very interesting to study with them, and Audrey darling i appreciate the help you've given me for Public law. it made all the difference. thanks doll.

Honey why you calling me...

2007-06-11T00:33:00.000+08:00

giggles. hehehehehehe
i so fucking swear...

Christian Dior

2007-06-02T15:05:00.001+08:00

okay this is worh breaking away from studying.

i've been looking for a small bag to hold under my arm pit kind cause for all of you who know me, i'm the one with the bag pack or the huge sling bag, none of which coordinates with my clothes. i'm the sneakers girl, in jeans and t-shirt.

anyway, i can't shop, nor am i the person who will willingly part with my money for such trivial shopping accessories.

my mum is cleaning out her closets. and my parents used to be pretty well to do, i'd admit. and friends and relatives buy really expensive gifts. back then, EVERYONE was pretty well off.

so my mum has this bag. and she doesn't want it. she doesn't like it. to her, it's so small, it's an odd colour, it's an even odder shape. i can never use this. i can only assume she was gonna give it away. i saw it. simple, blue, small. it was perfect. i tried it. hey, it looks great. then i see the CDs on the straps. huh. oh! my god. it's Christian Dior, isn't it? oh okay. is it expensive? like... hundred bucks?

now i'm a dumb dumb. i don't know labels or brands or whatever. i see hey it fits. hey it's nice. hey it's cheap. alright, i'll take it. she said it's an expensive gift. i dun really know.

i find it online.

it's selling on like ebay and amazon for like $500!!! and then i see that its freaking retail is $900!! USD no less!!! it's looking pretty intimidating now. but when i see the pictures... something ain't right. i thought maybe the picture had added on something. i opened the bag and looked closer and realised...

oh my god...

my mum cut out the leather strap of the bag. never mind, designer brand, whatever. i don't like this part, i'll just snip through it.

yikes.

at least i got a new bag...

people please, say whatever you wish on this startling discovery. i need to know people are reacting similarly to me!

Necklaces to give away

2007-06-01T21:57:00.000+08:00

So... dad has sold the house. sigh... can't believe in a few months this home won't be here no more. breaks my heart.

but anyway, i'm just putting up a quick post. i have some old necklaces of my mum's which i'm giving away. now, they may seem old and... truth be told, possible quite obiang. but they're actually nice if you look at it properly, and i've already taken 3 for myself. so PLEASE. take it! otherwise it's going in the trash. drop me a message.

so first off is this necklace which comes in red and pink. i already snagged the white one. :P it's simple, it's nice.

then there's this black one. it's chunky, no doubt about it, but it's fashion now adays i see. not very agogo as it is fashionista. so i'm doing you a favour!

as is this slinky black one. which actually goes really well with evening gowns.

and this green one... i almost wanted to keep it but decided it's really not my style.

and finally this dark blue one that's made up of little stones. now, while i say stones, it's not heavy. it's plastic. but it's pretty. again, almost kept it for myself. hey, wait a minute... why didn't i keep it for myself? i can't remember... ah never mind i have enough necklaces, and it's not like i dress up all the time anyway. so open to all.

alright people, please take these away from me! they are nice necklaces and i'd hate to throw them away. remember, i'm giving them away. not selling. just tell me, it's yours.

thanks.

Really? I'm stressed?!

Studying

2007-05-07T02:30:00.000+08:00

found another photo i took a long time ago which i wanted to put up but forgot... hehe... Sofia and i were studying together, and we were hungry and we were searching for a loooong time for food to order. we wanted sushi but the place closed. darn. so we got Italian instead.

and it was a lot of food.

and we fucken' finished it.

2 small girls. aahh...

it came!

2007-05-07T02:19:00.000+08:00

my license came! by registered post, thank you very much. signed for it, and ran back to my house to open it screaming, and almost slipped on the wet floor.

the photo wasn't as bad as the original one thank God...

and then... together with the other letters? letter from RELC, about my exams in 3 weeks. thanks ah...

Cadbury!

2007-05-07T02:12:00.000+08:00

found this in my camera, which i've not touched in months. took this a Loooooong time ago. sorry guys!

anyway, bought the cadbury hot chocolate! it was delicious yes, but i prefer the actual chocolates. anybody wanna get in my good books? marble, black forest, hazelnut... ahhhh i don't like nuts (scratch that, i loathe nuts) but in cadbury chocolate. oooooh mama, even hazelnut is good chocolate. so i only eat hazelnut. marble is the best. bought a pot load back from Tasmania, and finished it all. when i say potload, i REALLY MEAN potload. aahhhhhhhh.

wouldn't it be nice if the world was cadbury... YES YES YES

Law book crazy

2007-05-07T01:20:00.000+08:00

went to Kinokuniya to get the statute books, cause the more i study, the more i realize i'm not gonna remember anything, and contrary to what my classmates said, i NEED those statute books.

so my dear daddy took me there, after a brief, "do you wanna drive?" at which i exclaimed, "are you kidding?!"

unfortunately, they didn't have the contract statute book, but they had the public law one. criminal one was given to me by Audrey, but certain things must be... hidden. ;)

the law section is just so cool... i was touching this and touching that... and i didn't wanna buy anything cause of the prices. but dad was like, "if you're gonna read, buy! i will willingly spend my money on books."

"oh i should let che che know! we can go crazy."
"academics only, please."
"oh."

anyhow, i decided to buy the small small books which were cheaper than everything else. and from just one... i went crazy and got three!

quite upset they didn't have my contract book, but asked the reservation boys to look, and 2 days later they called me, telling me they had it! yay for me... called my brother in Perth and told him no need to look. yes, i really wanted the book.

i'm gonna have a headache removing the labels before exams...

Pass

2007-04-21T22:53:00.000+08:00

Passed my test. very eventful test it was. anybody wanna know, ask me out in June, after my exams.

anyhoo, dad came home with gai ma and ah che in tow and drove to Changi Chapel to have celebratory lunch at the Barks Cafe, all insinuations of short tight skirts and intoxicating perfume forgotten. che got down at the shell station across and bought the P plate which we promptly stuck on.

after lunch, we went to check out the chapel, and it was a really cool visit. go check it out, people. it's a very very nice place.

and yep, went my gai ma back to Ang Mo Kio and drove back to Changi. first ride on daddy's huge ass Toyota Wish. sigh. another eventful episode.

and the daddy gives the keys to his youngest daughter for the first time, as he reluctantly trusts her with his life, and that of his cousin and eldest daughter.

at least none of us died.

OP

2007-04-21T22:50:00.000+08:00

was strolling around Plaza Sing trying to figure out what to get my sister. tough job, man. finally stopped at OP to get some grub. sat down and was drinking my tea when i looked up at the design on the wall a table was against. very cute.

Report them.

2007-04-21T22:48:00.000+08:00

Audrey asked me out for swimming. and we got in half an hour. and i've not swam in forever. but i pushed myself. and we jumped in without any warm up, on a cool evening. sure enough, my whole body cramped up. i've not used my shoulders like that in so long. i almost died.

but still had the giggles to take a photo of the cute poster in the toilet.

suspicious strangers? report them.

So it's Lorelai Gilmore & Max Medina arguing in a coffee place about whether or not they should date.

"You're just telling me what you think i wanna hear, aren't you?
"Yes."
"I knew it."
"Doesn't mean it doesn't coincide with how I really feel!"
"Yeah, but if you're telling me what you think I wanna hear, then I'm not getting to know you..."
"But if I know what you wanna hear that shows a level of understanding on my part that far exceeds your understanding of me..."

I Heart Dolphins

2007-04-12T03:51:00.000+08:00

My sister is a wonderful person, and I'm quite influenced by her. i love geography, i love the environment, but i can never measure up to the level of determination she has in the things she believes in.

my sister loves dolphins. she has saved up money just to go to Hawaii to see dolphins. and then an ex colleague sent this to me.

even if you don't have a particular love to dolphins, this will make anybody's heart ache. if you didn't cry, you should be filled with rage.

do something about it. sign the petition.
Stop the dolphin and whale killings in Taiji Petition

The video - http://www.glumbert.com/media/dolphin
i should warn you, the video is gruesome, and shows a treatment towards dolphins that will make your heart weep, and an anger towards this treatment. if you think you cannot stomach it, please do not watch. i'm still haunted by it. che, please do not watch it.

for this, i am going off fish for the month of April, and continuing so if i can help it. i am deeply upset with my fellow mankind. this is... disgusting... and unjust.

spread the message... please.

i went out at night, and came home to a darling boy my sister left for me in bed.

Acuvue Define!

2007-03-13T01:05:00.000+08:00

my sister got these for free, so i thought might as well get them in my degree for me.

and they're gross.

2007-03-13T00:59:00.000+08:00

"mummy!!"

*revvs the engine and comes at my legs,* "an zua eh?"

"mummy, mummy!!"

"oei."

meow meow

2007-03-13T00:29:00.000+08:00

daddy and i were in the back yard gardening and i looked up (for some reason) and saw a meow meow just laying on my roof, watching us! so cute...

Esplanade

2007-03-13T00:23:00.000+08:00

on the same night, we were walking along Esplanade and saw these really cute fellas.

the jazz guy...

my piano guy... :)

and myf avourite! the guitarist.

Bobby's Bar

2007-03-13T00:19:00.000+08:00

went to Bobby's and met 2 old friends. Anand and Vishanth! haven't seen Anand in many months cause the fool quit school. i should start calling you Squeegy though. and Vishanth! nerd turned Bollywood star.

to refrain from this post being a recount of the night because that's not the purpose of this blog, i'll just dive right into the...

...beautiful toilets!

again, bad quality photo cause it's at night, but it really is very nice! and they had a pretty little candle in the toilet... and it wasn't stinky or wet in odd places or anything. very nice toilet...

Ferrari!

2007-03-13T00:17:00.000+08:00

... and on the walk with Beamy, i saw the car that's always hidden under it's little cover!! it was a beauty. i've never though gear shifts could look so gorgeous...

and i know it's lousy quality photo, but it was taken at night. otherwise it's always under the cover so this was my only chance!

Poor Beamy

2007-03-13T00:12:00.000+08:00

my darling doggie has not been out in forever, and when my brother, his girlfriend and i were gonna take a hike up to Shell to get some paus for my yi-pos (grand aunties), i decided to take Beamy along!!

poor doggy all blind already kept tripping over the curbs. hehe. then he'd give us that, "i was just being cute," kinda face, which is so adorable, because lately all i see is the *whine whine* face.

oh that was gross

2007-03-13T00:08:00.000+08:00

now please don't get me wrong. i love looking at babes. girls just have a lot more to flaunt than guys, and therefore more pleasing to the eye, and if they look like they should be appreciated, i'll appreciate them.

then this girl came along.

she was continually hiking up her skirt, as though it wasn't short enough. and she didn't have any nice legs to show off. they were just skinny things. she was a skinny thing sucking on a cigarette with a bitchy scowl on her face, wearing heels. it was a nasty show. and she walked by, and the wind was blowing up her skirt. so with every step she took, my friend and i got a view of the bottom half of her cheeks.

sigh. it was not nice.

girls, please lah, girls...

Cafe Cartel

aiight you know in Cafe Cartel (well you'd know if you've been!) has order pads for you to write your orders down?

Mei Yen and i went there recently. and our pen wouldn't click. yes, i mean it. it wouldn't click. we'd press it, and it'd stick its pen inky head out, but once we let go, it wouldn't click into place, it'd just jump right back in.

so Mei Yen compromised.

and her hair's grown. :)

my God, i didn't know that!

MaxiCab

2007-03-12T23:44:00.000+08:00

so i was rushing to Anil's lecture after a Japanese lunch i had with my cousin visiting from Australia, and i started to hail for a cab i saw further down the road, behind this big white car. then i suddenly saw this big white car turn on its hazard lights, which meant it was stopping. and i saw that it was the MaxiCab, that huge white taxi with Smart taxis, and i immediately panicked when it stopped in front of me.

"shit, shit, shit, shit," i kept chanting over and over as i opened the door.

the driver musta heard me cause the minute i went in he was all, "don't worry; first time?"

you've seen these cabs right? i always thought they were for big groups! do you know how embarrassing it was for little me (okay maybe not that little but alone, little enough!) to get into this big big taxi??

Creepy school

2007-03-12T23:37:00.000+08:00

for those who know me, i used to school at the Riverwalk campus. and it was glorious to tell people that my school was in Clarke Quay, that my lessons were from afternoon till evening, after which a drink would be in order, and that i had weekends (including Friday) off!

and then they sold the campus. the NEW campus. and we U of London external students, got shipped to Stansfield College.

the devil's arsehole.

the place is so run down to me, as compared to Riverwalk, but i guess it is in the process of getting better after many an objection. oh and the study rooms are at the top of the building, not accessible by elevators, but by this creepy really creepy stairway.

Driving is fun!

2007-03-12T23:10:00.000+08:00

been driving for a couple of months now, and my test is next month. during driving there is a lot of funny things which happen, and although i'm a good blogger (even though in excruciating pain, i can still manage to snap photos of the disturbing toe just to share on my blog), i'm a better driver so i know better than to start taking photos of old people who think they can cross the road faster than the cars approaching whilst driving.

so i just have to take photos while i'm in park, with my instructor putting out the poles for me to practice parking. :D

this is the car park where i learn, oh hey oh... oh hey oh...

this is the steering wheel, with which i steer. oh yay oh.... oh yay oh...

that's my dashboard, where my instructor puts his things... oh yeah oh... oh yeah oh...

that's my side view mirror, which i still dunno how to use!!! oh no oh!! oh no oh!!

and... this is where i wait for my instructor cause he parks the car here and everybody lounges here outside the coffeeshop and i realized the shelter they've been sitting under is actually part of a goddamn lorry!!! oh wow oh... oh wow oh...

and i know i look very serious like i'm about to make a complicated turn with poodle looking hair due to a bad perm but i'm actually in park otherwise i can't take this photo.... oh hahah oh... oh haha oh...

FAT CAT

2007-02-09T15:35:00.000+08:00

pre Battlefield. Lavin and I got kicked out for having Starbucks stuff with us. we came out, and saw a FAT CAT, and Hazmi and i immediately gave chase for the FAT CAT. then we saw Farhan. hehe. it's kinda funny to think about it.

anyway the guy at the shop was so nice. Lavin finished his food, and me mine, but i still had my tall cup of latte to finish. he saw me sitting outside by myself and knocked on the glass and told me to come in, and said he felt bad for me sitting alone so said i could bring in my latte. hehe. nice chap.
