Happy belated Hari Raya Haji, Belated Merry Xmas and Happy New Year! It's been a long time since I blogged but so many things had happened, good or bad...of course the good one is my results, having achieved second upper finally. hope it's to stay, now that I officially have a year of school left in Singapore. But I won't worry about results for a year, cos I'll be going Upenn Wharton school of Business to study for a year! yea! The sad thing about? I gonna miss my family, Zj and my friends so much... And I've been really touched by the things they've done for me recently. Like my uncles and aunt who gave me money and my jc friends who are so eager to organise a get-together b4 I go. And not forgetting Zj who whipped up a sumptuous lunch and wowed m with a diamond necklace (however small the carat)

Yea, and almost everything has worked out well in the end for me, for that I am really very grateful. Like the DS documents that arrive just in time before the christmas break, how my parents suddenly had enough money to tide me over the 1st month in US. I'm so lucky! Yea and I gonna leave on 12 Jan 0600..


Maybe the not so nice part is that I had to work. I wouldn't say it is tough approaching people to buy the products but try asking at least 50 a day before you get like 3 to demonstrate your product to and finally left with 1 who is interested to buy your product. It's damn tiring... of course miracles do happen, like the aunt who bought 600 plus for her nieces and the grandma who bought 1340 plus for her grandchildren... these children are so blessed!
After this gruelling week at suntec, I proceed on to work at Tangs... It's not that tiring in comparison and I finally hit my sales target-- first ever in Tangs haha... yea but I'm afraid I'll spend more than I earned yesterday at Isetan sale later... Watch out for more Updates!

My Xmas wishlist:

1. Lancome Teint idole ultra 03
2. Shiseido brightening eye treatment
3. Elizabeth Arden 8h cream
4. A new suit from G2000
5. Olay total effects 7-in-1 antiaging cream
6. Knee high boots!
7. Hair extensions at fabuloushair
8. A smudge proof liquid eyeliner (but not from MAC)
9. Eyeshadow palette
   

I can't imagine why I would suffer again from food poisoning... AGAIN! Dun ever eat hokkien mee from the Hawker centre near Outram Park...unless u wanna run the risk of food poisoning.. =(

Wed was supposed to be a good day for me... hit more than 200% of the sales target at Lancome and everything proceeded almost as planned... But the queue outside phuture really put me off... Imagine 45mins of waiting just to get into somewhere packed again... Wed mambo sux... haha we had a bad experience with the baggage counter at first, cos all three counters: zouk, phuture and velvet were all full! But somehow zj was about to squeeze my big bag in =] *so zai* we tot it's time to have fun but it took us so long just to squeeze onto zouk dance floor. The worst of horror is that we found ourselves right next to the blasting speakers-- each boom sound set our eardrums and internal organs vibrating! After a while, we decided that we can't take it anymore and went out to have a drink. we decided to explore zouk but the songs are really bad, like those of nursery rhymes and lullaby... Hell, mambo sux to the core!

But I guess nothing is worse than being sick... I went to work and nearly couldn't go home cos I was very sick... I diarrhoeaed 5 times in the span of 2h, vomitted nothing but water since I couldn't eat anything... pissed off my counter manager quite badly too... and the best thing? my colleague is sick as well so both of us got to go home.. the counter manager has to arrange for another gal from vivocity to travel all the way to woodlands... haiz... wat a day

Restful sunday

Finally a slack Sunday...

I can't believe I woke at 1pm when I supposed to meet Charlene at 1pm in town! heard the alarms ringing all around me but the sounds were the melodious kind and I was listening out for the shrill one when I set. Apparently, the shrill alarm either already rang or failed me... When I decided to wake up, it's 1pm alr.. sigh... had to get ready in 5mins and dash down to town in my dad's car... Sorry Charlene for all the waiting!

It was a day of coincidence... I ran into Shanping and her bf at Lido.. It happened that we all parked on the same floor... =] Finally reached wheellock after making Char wait for 40mins =( we zoomed in on the shopping. got our stuff and went to eat lunch at Wisma foodcourt.. I tried the Scissors curry rice for the second time and had to conclude that it's just like any other Cai Fan... Char's fried fish noodles seem so much more tantalizing haha I can't resist sipping her fish soup...

We hunted around wisma first floor for clothes.. I tried on all the long sleeved tops and finally settled on an orange one from forever21... hope it will come in useful when i go philly... Call me slow but I finally stepped into Cotton On, after hearing so much about it... It really lived up to its reputation for cheap clothes.. 2 for $20 for those forever21 and topshop lookalike clothes! If i wasn't going to US, I would've bought quite a few... Can't wait to shop in forever21 in US.. the tops like cost ard half the price in Singapore! hehe.. USA, here I come!

The irritating rain kept going on and off.. had to go back to the car for my big trusty umbrella and I ran into Shanping again haha... We braved the rain to get to far east but I was soon disappointed by the price of the boots at Mondo. $99 for a pair of knee high boots!20 bucks more ex than those in Charles and Keith! I think I shud just try my luck in US... boots r just too ex in Singapore... With that, I shall end my shopping quest for winter clothes =p

outta the hse

Remedy for stye in the eye:

1. Hot compress-- take a bowl of warm water and dip your towel in and press against your stye for 10 mins at least, repeat 3 to 4 times a day
2. Apply antibiotic ointment
3. Keep your hands clean by washing with soap
4. Go out and dun think abt it!

Yup, that's what I did yesterday and my stye has reduced by quite a lot... lots of love from your friends help too :) going to watch enchanted with clara later! rather excited cos I was watching the trailers on youtube yesterday and the songs are so nice! I replayed the song "so close' again and again... hehe... It's a fairytale come true =] yup, hope to really enjoy my time later before going to teach tuition. This tuition is pretty high paid but I always feel so stressed when I go there cos I felt I am not qualified enuff to teach. Esp physics, I sometimes can't answer his questions... Chem's not so bad haha...

Anyway had my first tuition lesson with my new student yesterday... Thanks to Shihan for recommending it to me =] The student's quite nice and her house is quite huge for a condo... quite envious of her in fact, esp when her mum kept coming in to ask her what colour she likes for the curtains... the curtain materials are so colourful and she chose this shade of purlish blue, kinda mysterious... I like it too! anyway, it was quite a fruitful first lesson with her I hope...

I hope this post will come out in black cos the font is purple by default... Anyway, after staying two days at home, i'm desperate! I want to get out! But my stye in the eye is not going away yet, though I hope it's believably less red... Haiz... I think this is one of the worst things to happen after a string of exams, when all you want to do is to go out and enjoy...

Being home ridden, I still managed to do some stuff:
1. Swept the floor
2. Tidy up my room
3. Pack the winter clothings into my new and huge Samsonite luggage
4. Pack my sister's J1 notes into my now empty folders =] such a good sister rite?
5. Read up a bit on Philadelphia and New York
6. GYM!
7. Clean and polished my silver earrings
8. Blog....
9. Wash my pink crocs
10. Lots of youtubes and facebooks...

When my stye recovers, which is tomorrow, I shall:
1. Catch up with friends like Clara, Julia, Charlene and my favourite RG and HC friends!
2. Shop for boots, more socks, beanie and muffler
3. Work for Lancome and Blue Orange
4. Go out with Zj =] gonna miss him so much when I go USA
5. Go out more with my family
6. Cut my hair! Should I dye it?
7. Basically deal with the last stage stuff for NOC, like going to US embassy? When's the appt?!!?

Anyway, at least for today I promise myself not to be home ridden, cos I'm going to teach tuition! Need the $$...

2nd day of hols

Me and Jan at Miss Chia's wedding

I guess having nothing to do at home gives me no excuse not to blog... My cyst is nowhere better today! And I have a feeling that I am allergic to chlorotetracycline like my sis... stupid doc dun believe me... really hate her...

During the exams period I still had some activities going on like my former tuition teacher, Miss Chia's wedding! It was wonderful seeing her walk down the aisle in the oh so pretty white gown with her beloved... I nearly teared... but the bad thing that happened after tat is that I scratched my dad's car really badly... haiz... wat a thing to happen 2 days before my exams...

Anyway, I resolved to have a nicer day today by waking up early to read the newspapers, to pack my luggage a bit for NOC and then to photocopy all the docs and finally, pack my room! =] I always feel happier after packing my room, as if a part of my life has been set straight... To go all the way, I even threw away the black bag which I had used for two entire terms cos it was torn already... Love it so much cos it was from my close Uni friends for bday and it was so roomy and useful! But I guess all good things must come to an end...

After much discussion with Weijian who is right now studying at Durham university in UK and experiencing snow, I decided that I still need to get muffler, beanie and boots! and more socks if I dun wanna keep washing my stuff in the middle of winter... haiz I guess I need to charge to my credit card for now if I wanna get anything cos I have practically no money... All depends on how much I can squeeze outta my time for work this hols... poor me... I still need to meet up with friends b4 I go... Where do I get the time? haha... I'll survive!

Feel so much like going out today, despite my evident cyst... Shud I just wear my specs and look ugly, or wear my contacts with sunglasses, which might worsen my condition? hhaha... talk about choosing lesser of the evils! So I just give my ezlink to my sis to end this dilemna... I will be stuck at home today... =(

Anyway, here's a random auction item... Who's looking for Kenzo perfume? I got a whole set of Kenzo summer 75ml and body lotion up for $60 only! the perfume is practically unused and the lotion is unopened! pls email me at unresolvedd@gmail.com if interested... thanks =]

Yea!! it's finally the last day of exams yest... I think i really screw up badly this sem, dunno why, mug a lot but always when i go to the exam room, i will be so nervous i cant think straight... haiz... nvm shall forget abt it till after christmas when the exams are out...

right now i gonna focus on my US noc trip!! just borrowed a book on new york and USA and I was so hooked on it since i started reading... heard that it started snowing already but i hope i can still shop when i reach there hehe...
yea and talk abt shopping, watch this space!

If you like to shop from US stores and hope to get the items you fancy from shops like Forever21 at a cheaper rate, look out for my soon-to-be-launched online shipping website!

Dun need to wait for sprees for banana republic, abercrombie... etc even COACH cos I gonna take care of your needs and help you ship your stuff all year round, at the most affordable rates!

yea... this is just a glimpse of my online shipping website that I shall start working on and will materialise once I touch down on US soil... Besides learning about technopreneurship at Upenn, I gonna try my hand at entrepreneurial ideas... for those who are interested to help me out, just msn me at yeeling13@hotmail.com or find me at facebook... would fancy some advice and tips =] esp from frequent online shoppers...

yea.. for the rest of the month, i'll probably be tutoring, working at Lancome and the bookfair... trying hard to save enuff money for US... anyone got money making lobang pls tell me =]

Been really busy with the Hysys programme the last few weeks... The E2 computer labs have practically become our second home, from mon to sunday, u will find us there without fail. Thankfully, it's over...

I'm supposed to be mugging hard these days to make up for all the lost mugging times before we start on another large scale project but I just can't concentrate right now. In half an hour's time, i will be having my internship interview for NOC and i'm like quite nervous now... Already did all the preparations that I could so if I didn't get it, maybe I'm just meant to work for another company. hahah No matter what, I will do my best! It's just two months to US and everything has gone smoothly as planned... Just gotta keep my fingers crossed and hope that I would touch down on US soil soon!

Basically, this company that I am going to have interview with is a biotechnology company and the scientific breakthroughs they have made is amazing. If I get the internship, it's like going to be the first time that I can really see how a scientific invention come into reality. But of course besides the glamour, I expect lots of hard work, not excluding spending most of my time in the laboratory. Since chemical engineering has been the path that I have chosen 2 years ago, I'm going to make the best out of this internship offer. The thing that makes me really excited is the opportunity to commercialise and market the company's products! But coming from a retail sales background, I am really curious how biotechnological products are marketed. I can't just go to a client and then start to woo them with flowery words. It require a great deal of product knowledge and research for sure. It should be a case in which it's the product that truely sells, not the salesman.

Need to look for a cheap airline to take to Philadelphia, besides Northwest! Any ideas my friends? Anyway, wish me luck for my interview!

Zj and Weijian and friends

Weijian, who left for Durham U in London...lucky guy

Kristy-- my nanyyang, hcjc and army friend!

Clara and I with the new Mocha mudslide! yum!

I'm super sian diao after the two mid terms... why is it that our batch always get the hardest paper of all years? Olevels, alevels now university as well... it's so demoralising... got MLE tmr and i had studied all i can... if tmr the teacher stuns us again, I really give up on NUS Chemical engineering already... how can i ever do well again? sighz...

Anyway, been staying back in school pretty much these days, even to the extent of 11pm... like what zj mentions be4, NUS is quite homely and i start to realise so. I feel so at home muggin in sch with my frens... i guess i gonna miss this place lots come jan, when i go noc... speaking of noc, it's the boot camp this sunday already... in about 2 months, i'll be off to USA! can't imagine the day is finally coming soon... i've bought my luggage so far, changed some money to USD, bought winter clothes and even got a contact for housing over there already... ready to pack up and go! Zj is going for work and travel in USA next summer hols so he can meet me... heheh how sweet is that? Where he's going is 2.5h from philly and i hope we can meet every weekend and travel tog =] can't wait... but i guess i need to make it thru the 5 lonely months before he comes and visits me...

next week, though the mid terms would have ended, we got two projects to hand in, one of which i haven't done anything yet! then got another one to hand in the following week... just kill me.... sigh pretty tired alr... going to sign off now...

At Hard Rock Cafe

sch hols

Feeling really guilty for not blogging for days... haha my bored friends gonna be borer without my posts to read! haha alright 7 days have gone by since the start of the mid term break and I have mugged quite a bit, since there are only 3 subjects... But my pace is really slow, hampered by the need to do projects and my procrastinating nature(born out of too much time at hand)... yea it's weird how i will be super motivated last time when i was so involved with my cca... now that i handover, i am so slack... shit... I cant even mug properly at home and need to mug with frens in the lib cos i'm reminded of how slack i am hhaa yea... tat's all gonna go lib mug liao... bye!

What my mum bought with my CROCS voucher which I won at Shape run

Yea! I finally won top ten for SHAPE run after a year of waiting... Got 11th last year then din get anything so sian haha anyway today was a big fight to clinch 9th place cos i came really late cos can't find toilet then I was squeezed all the way at the back. It was not a joke trying to run past all the joggers or strollers in front of me, and I dare bet there were 1000 of them at least... i just ran and ran till I saw the 10km runners who were flagged off first... My optimism grew when I realise there were less and less of those wearing the orange tag, who are in the 5km category.... Then it came the uturn part then i started counting the number of runners in front of me...Gosh I was able to give up when I counted more than 10 pple but dunno wat inside of me kept spurring me on... So I persevered and kept trying to overtake, keeping my morale high as I saw tired runners in front of me! Then in the last 1km, someone shouted that i'm 10th and I was over the clouds! the last 500m was gruesome but I managed to overtake the 9th runner with whatever that I have left in me =] anyway, the prizes are quite good, here's the list:

> Crocs product hamper worth $400
> Pure Yoga 1-week membership worth $320
> Omron Body Composition Scale worth $273
> System Professional hamper worth $200

Hehe, wish fulfilled *grinz*

cold war

Nice photos with Zj!

We're like having a cooling down period now so we dun meet up until 25 Aug, one mth after our 4th anniversary... haha but i think absence really makes the heart grow fonder cos I really miss him right now... hahah still got 10 days to go...

Really happy today cos i've been lucky the whole day! In the morning, I caught the bus just as it was about to arrive at the bus stop. Then I realised that I din bring my laptop along but realised that I will be so late for sch if I go back to take cos the bus was turning into the interchange already... decided that I can go without lect notes as well for today's one hr only lect haha... ya n i waited 5 mins for the train but it was the longest i waited for the public transport the whole day, which i'll explain later..

so in sch, derek jus came bk from hong kong and brought krispy creme back! but it's kinda too sweet hahha... thank Derek anyway! and i was kinda distracted the whole lect cos got not notes but nvm, the lecturer was like mumbling to himself anyway. after all the lect announcements i made for yr 3 lect notes printing and yr 1 announcement regarding ChESS Welcome tea tmr, i went to Arts canteen with Huiling. ate fish slices noodles cos my throat was hurting from the saccharine sweet donut... we rushed back to engine to set up the ChESS booth and it happened that the NUSSU guys were giving out the NUSSU organizers... huiling and i waited till there was no queue then go and take.. tsk tsk..

ya and later we realised got free buffet upstairs! the food is really sumptous, got like doufu with prawns on top, chendol, bo bo cha cha, the usual chicken and fish... yum yum! luckily i din finish my noodles at arts hahah...

later i went to send more mails to the chem and environmental engineering students abt tmr's welcome tea and rushed to make more announcements at the ev yr 2 and at chbe yr 4 lectures... and finally my day is over... quite shacked to keep rushing to meet timings and talk in front of so many staring eyes.. hah but i think i'm kinda well trained liao, with my ChESS and year rep announcements haha...

yea and i caught 95, after waiting for less than a min to buona vista then 106 to orchard after a min of waitng..then walked ard scotts isetan, saw a gift for lihui, then go off... went to somerset area to visit uob bank and then went to lot one... caught 190 within 2 mins... at lot 1, the manuka honey was on sale and i bought it cos it kinda helps to build immunity yea! and finally home sweet home =] a happy day...

Huiling bday party!

after wk

Finally, i can declare myself unemployed, with the exclusion of the work on 9 aug at Lancome Tangs. Haha... after these 3 months of temp work, I am really sick of sales, though the money is rather easy to earn... learnt to convince people, to lie impressively and to be 'wicked'... studying is way better I guess...

Looks like I painted a bad picture of my work... but it's not all that bad, I made lots of friends! like Crystal, Roy, Yanli(my chem eng schmate too), Evelyn etc.. yea a taste of life too... in addition to my og juniors from fwc, this hols has certainly been very fruitful=]

Just feel so disoriented at the thought of school starting the next week... I tried to contact my senior for her textbooks but she's been mia... yea and I need more normal tops for school hahah been shopping for tubes, spags and other hot tops that I'm damn broke already... sigh haha

Maybe one good thing about school starting is that I can stop worrying about getting work to do... my dad has been nagging me about getting money this hols, in preparation for NOC trip... Been rather stressed haiz... but I'm determined to save at least $2500 before I go =] can't wait man...

oh ya, Huiling bday party was last sat and it totally reminded me of my own bday party! but time passes so quickly, it has been more than 5 months since then... yea it was great seeing her so dressed up, her warm friends and her jovial relatives... the buffet was excellent though we should have come earlier to savour the cuisines =] we tried playing monopoly while waiting for her to cut cake and it was like the fastest I ever had but we only managed to go one round before the photo taking sessions and all... yea... pretty nice party

My friend, Crystal and I at the Book fair again, at expo this time

Weirdest bus encounter

My weirdest bus encounter!
On last Thursday i was taking 302 home b4 i clubbed
then got this caucasian guy who sat beside me
i was twisting the air con vent
cos it was cold
then he asked me if it's cold
i said yes then he helped me twist but to no avail
then he started to fish out something from his bag
i tot he din bother me alr so was quite happy cos i bit scared
but he took out his sweater then he asked me to use it
i refused then he jus covered on me, without touching me la
i found no use protesting so i jus let it be i wanted to alight at the next stop
but he never bothers me liao so i jus outta politeness asked him where he's from
he;s from somewhere between rosmania and greece, bosnia i think
yea then i alighted after our brief conversation... wat a bus ride!!

eating poses

ZJ enjoying the hot pot food
Sinfully chocolaty strawberry

Eating Chocolate Fondue at Swiss Culture!

My tremendous improvement to 73! Thanks to zhizhong's help! hahha

My score increases the bowling game continues =]

Today's OG outing -- first Zephyr outing was held at Marina Bay at 3pm... Played two rounds of bowling and it was quite fun cos I finally broke my 20 points barrier! It happened that I always released the ball with my hand slanted so the ball always ended up in the drain hahha yea!

My starters and friends at National track and Field!

Been going to eat opp Beauty world at Bt Timah lately... The milo godzilla, thosai masala and nasi bryani... yum!

The tiramisu cake I shared my sister at Spinelli

Nice to look but not so nice to eat haha

But the mocha spin rocks!

Spinelli and Dior

Mocha Spin at Spinelli!

So Happy... got to sit on the cushion seat =]

My New Dior Compact Powder! The powder is really fine man... =]

A new blogskin!

I think I have delayed changing my blogskin for a long long time... it's kinda hard to find one tat will suit me and then have the archive part so i guess i shall make do with this... My past two days were filled with National Track and Field competitions... Not competing this time, but to facilitate the starters ( u know those who fire the guns?) It's pretty demanding, mainly due to the merciless weather but usually i got the slackest job cos i'm a girl... but this doesn't mean i dun have to carry heavy starting blocks on and off the track whenever we start a new 4x100 relay... had to do it like 30 times at least hahah sigh my arms are getting darker and thicker by the day... and i'm living proof that sunblock doesn't make one fair cos i apply loads of it and all i get is to become darker, but with not burnt skin hahah and being with the sec n jc peeps make me feel younger at heart and gave me a new perspective on how it's like to be the ones organising the events and not those running... it seems so much easier to just run and let the rest take care of the events haha but I believe the competition days are so over for me...

I've been waking up at 7am and today i was again harshly awoken by my body clock.. and it wasn't pleasant cos I had a really scary nightmare... there was some female demon who kept haunting my friends and I... *shudder* I tried calling zj if he wanna go out today but he's still sleeping! what a pig... Maybe it's destined for me to slack and maybe just go to school to take a look at the magazine that we're publishing... luckily can drive there today... going there by bus is jus so kill-joy on a sat haahaa.. anyway, pls comment on my new blogskin!

Guess wat? I'm dyeing my hair now! with this colour called caramel beige... i hope my hair colour is really lightened this time or it'll be my like 4th failed attemp... *sobs*

it has been rather hectic these few days, with exception of today... i jus met up with our sponsor company and they gave us the cheque as promised! got treated to free tim sum too, which totally rocks! i like all the dumplings and siew mai hahha and i jus realised that this is the place that zj had told me before-- his family's fav hangout heheh =]

after that I wanna go to funan to dye my hair but when i got there finally, i realised the prices at kimage academy rose by so much! got shocked and decided to dye my hair myself... which brought me to this point

yesterday I worked with Majic with this one time Racial Harmony trail initated by Northeast Community development c something hahah and god it was tiring! I woke up at 5.55am and then rushed through all my morning get-ready chores but bad luck struck me, setting me 26mins back,due to all the waiting i had to endure at cck mrt, jurong east mrt and outram mrt... sighz... and even with my injured ankle, i had to run two streets to get to where i had to report... i was like sweating profusely by the time i reached but that's not all... i needed to get the indemnity form signed but the thing is most of the participants were old and illiterate... so I had to go to each one and helped them to write down their details from their ezlink, and risked not smashing my face against some windows as the bus turned... finally i got it done and finished explaining to all the participants where we are going, by the time the bus touched down at the meeting area.

i guess the greatest difficulty is to round all of them up and make sure they dun get lost and finally reach a certain destination... but there were also other problems like dealing with them when they wanted to leave the tour... but luckily it all came to an end by one plus haha

up next was MILK run n it was a smashing success, Crystal! but there were so many pple tat we had to wait damn long to get past the starting line... but finally we did and enjoyed the cooler air so roumei, aileen, her bf and i jus strolled and chatted the whole journey... 4km seemed so long to walk that i ended up running at the last part haha yea and i had dinner with ruomei after tat and it was so nice catching up with her! =] yup so i gonna treasure more of my good old friends from now on... =] tmr's dry run already... FWC jia you!

Sometimes I really feel like struggling myself... for the stupid things I do that are to my disdvantage...so I work at wee hours in morning to go for my long awaited macritchie run and everything went extremely smoothly, from the drive to bt panjang and then to macritchie... and everyone came soon after and excitedly, I started running with weelee and rebecca, taking in the fantastic view of the nature reserve with marvel... and for one hour, everything went well, i was able to catch up with my friend and able to accelerate when i want to...until i decided to go back first cos my ankle starts to hurt... and it seemed pretty dumb, I din sprain when I was running fast, but when I slowed down to wait for my friend... the next thing i know, i was suddenly tripped by a branch and my ankle jus cracked super loudly...i just screamed and fell to the ground... there was this irritating indian guy who ran past me, only paused to give me a sideway glance, but fortunately, there were 3 chinese runners who stopped to ask if I was ok... my friend managed to catch up and came to my assistance too... but wat has happened has happened, and it was the sharpest pain I endured for an ankle sprain... it's like I fell in an awkward position and it took courage for me to relax and straighten my leg... bloody hell... i jus sat there in shock for quite long until the pain reduced to a throbbing one... sighz... it jus sux man... then i had to lean on my friend to go back and it din feel so bad anymore... until i got to the car and started massaging the area... the whole ankle was like swelling up =p

maybe it was a blessing in disguise that I drove cos at least i dun have to stand on the bus home hahah... but when i got outta the car, i felt that my ankle was worse than earlier... luckily for me, my friend insisted on accompanying me back home and looking out for me... felt really touched, thanks wee lee! yea been sitting on my swivel chair ever since I got home.. really hope to get well soon =]

Alright, looks like I kept my promise to write here before I sleep tonight... the rest of the day didn't go as badly as I tot it would.. managed to wash my bags and swept the floor before joining my dad to fetch my sister from violin and my mum from work.. my generous uncle gave me sister a lcd monitor! dunno how to repay him man... hahah sigh... though he doesn't earn as much as my dad, he can afford a 2000 plus lcd tv... it's kinda funny that my family don't have a proper tv, proper oven and those stuff deemed essential for a home but we can afford a car and those expensive music lessons... I din really realise this till my sister pointed it out... this jus goes to show that we can't have the best of everything haha

and all these driving trips with my family is bringing my family closer... though most of the time I might jus be quarrelling with my dad over something trivial, it's good that we have things to talk about after all... can't imagine if there's a day when i have nothing to say to my parents...

Tmr gonna be a busy day for me! going to meet Great Eastern for sponsorship, and of cos getting my kose oil cleanser before that cos there's bundle sale tmr, gonna get a free facial wash and mask as well! then going to town to eat lunch with my da ge, then chiong for tuition and lastly, shop at mango with huiling and gwen! hahah... ok at least wun be slacking around...

It's gonna be a slack day for me... not supposed to be cos I should be working at the CommunAsia at Singapore Expo... However, thanks to Kelly Services, I ended up with nothing to do but maybe it's a blessing in disguise... the job only pays a miserable $5.50 per hour hahah... Yup, so I slept till 11am plus and as usual, did crunches before indulging in newspapers readin.. it's so coincidential that I was just talking to my sister about buying a pda phone yesterday when it was featured in Digitalife today =] But I realise for the IT idiot like me, I should jus stick to the normal phone that just enables me to call and sms... hahah enough of the slacking... I flipped through my old stack of university notes, trying frantically to search for those past yr papers so my welfare com can make a 3 year-series outta it... gonna be so damn tedious piecing everything tog! I had a nightmare doing it last year but it has come back to haunt me again this year... damn! ya and now that my sister finished showering, I need to give her chem crash course... will try to blog again tonight...

I had a late night chat with my sister last night... really couldn't wake up early in the morning man.. haha woke at 11am but I did circuit training of crunches, jumping jacks, squat thrusts, steam engines and stuff... quite tiring man hahah i used to think the SHAPE mag workouts are no kick but i'm wrong... gonna follow the workouts for a month and lose 2kg! haha...

After that, i went to cook lunch! wanted to use the can of mushroom soup brought back from my hostel for a long time but didn't get to it... went to mix the soup with milk, added in garlic and pork balls hhe and then add to my immaculately done spaghetti heheh =] my first attempt to cook in months man!

Evelyn and I

Crystal and I at the Book Fair

I guess I have taken a holiday from blogging too... hahha anyway, the nine gruelling days of book fair are finally over... The aftermath which follows is sore throat and flu... it was really competitive at the book fair, not only are there significantly fewer people compared to last yr or the PC show, there are so many of us trying to fight for the suitable customers... on a good day, I can rake in 1000 plus of sales, but on a bad day, 100 dollars... but at least i never eat ji dan on any day hahah heng... However, at the end of the days, my colleagues are mostly really nice... those who will not stab you in the back, unlike those in the beauty line...yea i get to pocket around 800 dollars too... not bad hahah but though i'm sick now, i feel like my energy needs to go somewhere... been spending it on tuition, reading business books, tidying up my sister's and my room and revamping some stuff in my life... getting really restless... wat else is there to do?

Maybe it's time for some mid year holidays resolution:

1. To devote my time and effort to FWC and DnD (but recently they dun seem to need my help =p)
2. To tidy up my stuff and get ready for sch(i hate this resolution)
3. To run and lose 2kg in this month! according to shape's fitness plan
4. To get a short term but decent job again
5. To inspire and help out with my students' and my sisters' studies
6. To write diary everyday and blog regularly
7. TO read more business books! hopefully get some inspiring ideas
8. To be optimistic

Anyway, today I went to Zj's house for like the third time these 2 months.. feeling quite proud of myself cos I actually gave up 4hs of my time just to travel there to see him and come back... tried to fix his wireless but ended up that he din have ethernet card... and jus laze around his room, watch ZOOM... the funny thing is that I found myself clicking with his mum... She actually fed me cough medicine, chatted with me about kettle and Zj and made me dinner! everytime I go their house, she will whip up some delicacies... like during new year, got abalone, fish maw, prawns etc; the first time i went to visit him: fish maw again; the previous time something good and today, some expensive fish! I feel so pampered... oh and I got to eat the donut from donut factory which his sister queued like 3hrs for it... but oh man, the queue is so worth it cos it's jus so delicious! the one i ate got chocolate oozing out of it and I was like begging zj for another one hahha yummy man! Feel like queuein up for it tmr hhhaa... yea I gotta diet too! Another resolution hahaha

I like this too!
