im moving to greener pastures. see you on the other side.

2008-06-09T19:36:00.003+08:00

met up with bren the other day. thank god, she was free too because it was a sudden notice from my side. haha. had a great time catching up with each other. quite sad to hear about her loss as a few years back i had been in the same position like her. i still do miss my grandpa. and my breakfast that he used to buy for me. haha.

hopefully if time permits, i can meet up with cindy and liting, and some of the other ppl like my cousins, miss sue ping who is MIA ( i think she went to tioman!!) and yanyi, and some other friends whom i havent seen in a long time.

went for sloyc prac on sat. its was very fun and its more of something that im looking for in a choir. lots of techniques. ai ming is so cute! haha. i've been saying that alot. but membership fees is a pain in the ass though. $100/month, which i have been paying myself. i dont dare to tell my parents that its that expensive. i told my mum its like only $50 - thats a 50% discount already - but still no increment to my allowance. sighs.

thurs was viola from 11am to 5pm and i finally finally took home the viola after much "begging" haha. but i didnt take the tuner too. and its horribly out of tune.

darling is still sick. just went to see the doctor with him, and was prescribed a whole lot of medicine to take. sighs sighs. he's sleeping now, will go and bug him soon. haha!

im still waiting for more tickets to be sold for vox concert. none of my friends are going, isnt that pathetic? because on the concert day itself there's a paper and the following day, another paper.

mst is coming up and im feeling very worried.

i dont feel like continuing this post anymore. bye for now.

2008-05-28T10:25:00.002+08:00

You Have a Choleric Temperament

You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things.
Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life.
You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation.

You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon.
Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall.
You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others.

At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults.
Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion.
A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.

2008-05-11T23:44:00.002+08:00

you know, how some people are when they dont get the things they want and they start doing underhand stuff or made obvious inferring comments about stuff and act nonchalent? i actually do pity them. cause they wont and never will be at peace as they are always tormented with themselves and the guilt that they created within themselves about all the despicable things they did or said. poor thing.

2008-05-03T01:31:00.000+08:00

okay, i'm currently blogging from my phone that darling got for both of us while waiting for him to pick me up. Haha! Ssamsung i550w. It comes with wifi, and a whole lot of function that sort of beat the iphone lol, which is a good thing. So i never have to bring my laptop to school anymore. I think im being spoilt thoroughly by him. Haha! Love love love.

Anyway, meeting up with bren tml. No idea where we're going yet. Ha ha, bren if you see this let me know about tml

2008-03-26T23:36:00.002+08:00

miss brenda!!! hahaa!!!
this is for you :D lol

Your view on yourself:You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on educationEducation is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

2008-03-08T22:54:00.002+08:00

hello there!

this is how we looked like 6 hours later..

new career ambition: F1 racer

many photos to be posted up from Chingay 2008, Parade of Dreams, but im just too plain lazy. not to say that the uploading and re-arranging of photos are a pain in the ass. i wish i have some kick ass photoshop editing skills so it soo much more easier.

anyway, got a morning call from Cindy asking whether am I free to work. and just nice, Rick messaged me checking on what am I planning to do on Saturday. so yeah, the 3 of us went down to the parade to work and have fun. haha!

2008-02-18T00:11:00.001+08:00

i think my groupmates are going to kill me. lol!

2008-02-07T19:46:00.001+08:00

ahhh. just got home from grandma's, grand-godma's and dad's friend house.

things are pretty quiet this year. with most of my relatives OVERSEAS =.=

lol.

anyway, a happy lunar new year.

this is how ..

2008-02-06T23:45:00.000+08:00

this was how i got tramatised when i was young..

and im probably still am right now.

my mum forced me to wear this minnie mouse hairband thing with the ears sticking out when i was in pri5. on CNY =.=

its a WRONG thing to do to a girl who at that point of time doesnt like anything CUTE!

and my cousins are all sniggering in the background while i relate this to them.

ahh. see???!!! this looks soo cute on her!!!! haha. cause thats the right age to wear it.

not when u are in pri 5!

LOVE YOU LOTS, XIN GIRL :D

kisses!

2008-02-06T02:23:00.000+08:00

went over to cafe del mar on sunday expecting to soak in the jazzcuzi & slack around in the daybeds. instead it rained!!!!

=.=

but nevermind, hhahaa. cause i met up with bren, rachel & jia yu!

2008-02-05T15:45:00.000+08:00

this is how my wardrobe looks likewhen i open the doors..

and this is the piles of clothes that i dont want anymore...

which is also all my money went too...

ahhh.. finally empty space! hehe.
bren, if you are reading this post do not laugh. lol

Reason 101

2008-01-31T21:28:00.000+08:00

Question: Why Adriana is always broke?

Reason 101: because she is an incorrigble shopaholic.

This is....

2008-01-27T20:54:00.000+08:00

this is my new friend...

..

....

......

........

maybe not....

HAHA! guess who is inside!? lol!

anyway, watched Verdi's La Traviata on opening night, friday, with bren!

was about 70% full? i think. haha.

i like Nancy Yuen's voice. Perfect for the role of Violetta. Her rendition of "Addio Del Passato" from the last act, totally won me over. Clear and full of depth and sadness, it captured the moment where she was really pinning for him and her love for him, Alfredo.

2008-01-21T22:08:00.000+08:00

this is what happen when we attempt to study..

i want.....

2008-01-20T23:21:00.000+08:00

i want..... the High Society CDs from that CD Shop..

i want.... to go on a holiday!

i want... a mac book!

money money money.

listening to ABBA "money money money" doesnt help.
lol.

back to study!

2008-01-19T04:36:00.000+08:00

the guilt is setting in as the realisation that i have less then 3 days to my first paper and i have not studied for it yet. because i spent the entire night today, watching ugly betty.

2008-01-17T14:10:00.000+08:00

the clever clever me.
who forgot to save my original template.
which resulted in lost links.

2008-01-17T00:23:00.000+08:00

i find that you can get quite selfish. you have all the time in the world today and yet you couldnt bother to lift your finger to get the report going, despite knowing the fact that friday is the deadline. whats with all the whining and questioning that we dont have time? i dont see how it is, seeing that you are not working nor doing anything of importance at all.

2008-01-15T23:39:00.001+08:00

after standing for what seems like an eternity, i WANT A FOOT MASSAGE NOW!!!!
HAHA!
and a basin of lavender-scented warm water for me to dip my feet in it.

hmm, speaking of which, there is this particular type of fish that feeds on human's dead skin. so.. you just put both of ur rough, calloused feet into the basin where there are about 60 small little fishes swimming around.
then..viola!
you've got your clean and smooth like baby's buttock feets after taking it out from the basin!

im so gonna try that after exams are over. muahhahahahaha.

ACCIO handphone!
argh, so tired to reach over to take it.
haha!
ACCIO ACCIO ACCIO

2008-01-14T23:30:00.000+08:00

no 1. im not waiting for you to start doing the work first.
no 2. you can start as and when you want.
no 3. you dont have to start IM-ing me when i come online after work to start asking me and telling me about the unfinished work. and expect me to do something about it. bcause im only free on thursday, if you have been reading/listening what i told you.
no 4. if you have so much time to come after me to talk to me about work, why wont you start it first? instead of bitching about it?

2008-01-13T00:23:00.000+08:00

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY KEVIN!!!

HAHA!

2008-01-11T12:24:00.000+08:00

0.0 scoring 45/100 for a 10% quiz = 4.5 marks out of a 100.
which calculates to about 28.5 after adding in my mid-sem marks.
so (100 - 40.5) including all the lab test/mini project/general performance,
equals to 59.5 marks.
which means, i must at least score at least 70 to get a decent pass.

I see a little silhouetto of a man,

Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-

Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-

Galileo,galileo,Galileo galileoGalileo figaro-magnifico-

But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-

Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-

Spare him his life from this monstrosity-

Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-

Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-

Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go

Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go

Will not let you go-let me go

Will not let you go let me go

No,no,no,no,no,no,no-

Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-

Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

i love bohemian rhapsody

haha!

2008-01-09T08:59:00.000+08:00

MCT labtest didnt go as bad as i think it would be. for someone who has been skipping her lecture/lab/tutorial class. heh, i think i passed the lab muahahah. gargh, and now i've got a 10% weightage e-quiz to do by friday.

working later on again. felt much better working in a retail store. at least i wont be too bored or something cause there are CLOTHES to look at, try on and perhaps, BUY!

need to get a pair of jeans urgently.
craving for some sashimi and chill out time.

wheee.
time to go!

2008-01-06T23:30:00.000+08:00

Was in a ranting mood while at grandma's house. because towards the end of the visit, the topic of bfs/marriage came up and my mum just had to go on about saying that if she can, she wants a divorce etc. and started listing out all the bad habits that my dad has and whatever dissatisfaction she has with our academic achievements. end of conclusion: dont get married.

i do understand that she is feeling very upset/depress and whatnot. but after living for so long, and going onto her late forties, its about time that she stop grappling about stuff that she has no control over and stop being so bitter and unhappy over every single thing. just enjoy whatever happiness that comes along the way.

ah, no point thinking too much about whatever that happens. whatever that happens will happen.

anyway! finally finally caught a movie today after a so so so so long long long time!!
ahhahaaa. i think the last movie i watched in the cinemas was Stardust.

i want to watch "Jumper" , "Narnia - Prince Caspian" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*hint*hint* haha!

2008-01-05T16:51:00.000+08:00

and i just realised that i have 2 labtest next week, coupled with 2 projects deadline after filling in all the details in my planner for the coming week.

im now a-not-so-happy girl but still happy in some ways. haha!

hmm.

starting from monday, i'll be working over at Springfield.

wonder how it would be.

ah, i stupidly told my manager that i can work on wednesday, forgetting that i have yoga on that day. now i cant go for yoga anymore.

tada!

2008-01-02T01:18:00.000+08:00

LAST POST OF 2007 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-12-31T23:38:00.000+08:00

3 reasons why my first kbox experience was wonderful.

1) I get to hog the microphone all the time

2) I have a bunch of friends who gets high, have fun and enjoy screaming their lungs out

3) I get to sing duets with everyone hahaha!

YAY!

I just got home from my first Kbox experience.
hahahaha, sounding so noob.

Met up with Daryl, Jason, Wee Kuan and Yan Ting over at AMK.

Started off with songs by David Tao which were sung by them.

We got high after Daryl, Wee Kuan and Yan Ting came back from the game that the Kbox people got us to play.

Songs like Shalalallaa, Marcareena, Lemon Tree all came out. Thanks to Jason who had so much fun choosing the songs. haha and he was screaming and screaming over some songs or some particular phrases.

I LOVE TO HOG THE MIC

so off we went. up up and away!

first stop was the ladies to powder up. hahaha. and we saw 2 boys trying to imitate the male figure on the wall. started laughing at them and imitating the female figure.

second stop was Haagen Dazs to say hi to friend friends.

third stop was China One.

we were getting so cross-eyed before the drinks even arrived. stupid flash. haaa. but look at what nice clean brows we have.

hmm. will end this post with a our cute and shy waiter over at Cedele. haha! we were thinking of plans to ask him to take a photo with us. didnt materialise in the end.. but.. hehe. i took a side view of him.

had lots of fun yesterday. daryl's back from australia. and while talking after dinner, he kept looking at the tv screen where the match between Man U and Everton was playing out. we kept laughing at the way how the conversation went after he started to talk about something and the next continuing sentence had no link with what he started with cause his eyes strayed to the tv.

oh ya, and today marks the end of all the caroling sessions of 2007. i think im going to miss the guys so much. haha! especially the bendemeer boys. might be meeting up all again for a KBOX session on the 31st? see how it goes. hope jason will remember to message all of us.

2007-12-22T19:46:00.000+08:00

ahhh.. just came back from the second last day of caroling from Funan. Also the second last day I will sing with SP Choir.

was quite dead when i reached there. probably due to my heels, which cut off all blood circulation to my brain. =.= how come they didnt hurt that bad during the concert? and i could still run around and jump around in them. :(

jason was damn high today. havent seen him this activce before. haha. I WANT TO SING O HOLY NIGHT with MARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAHA.

it doesnt meant that i forget the old.

2007-11-29T21:54:00.001+08:00

mummy said....

MY FACE IS AS ROUND AS A CIRCLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:(

and when i complained to kevin, he says its alright and it makes him feel like pinching it!!!! which in hindsight, it means my face is really CHUBBY!!!!!!!!!! :(

lol.

anyway, i just tried to complete my online resume. got stuck at career objective. 0.0 cant think of anything to write in that litle space over there. Went on with something like expanding my capabilites blah blah blah. people to people relationship blah blah blah.
why cant i have a face to face interview??? its so much more easier......... and not to say more fun!!

talked to quite a few friends today about school, life and stuff.

speaking of which.. kevin asked me to help out with his club xmas caroling in school. weird. i have never heard of xmas caroling in school. and weirder because its at FC5 on dec 12. timeslot will be from 12 to 12.15 and 1- 1.15pm. list of repertoire more or less confirmed by them. hmms. eh, how are you going to repay me huh?????

haha.

and rick, im still waiting for my birthday treat!!!! lol.

been bumping into people from nova tribe around engineering block, which is no surprise because most of them are in engineering or CLS. saw kenneth goh today on the way to make up class. will see cinday occasionally passing by clubhouse or during some school event. last time i saw her was during principal's farewell ceremony. saw rachel and kevin during lunch break. haha, seeing both of them is no big surprise because they are in the same course as me. and kevin will just come running over to hug me.

got poked and tapped by alisha and charles during the pre- ITP talk and of course rick who called me to find out where i am and we used to train to school or home together until he started chasing skirts lah. lol :P you know what i mean. hehe. all the best to you and her.

havent seen daryl ever since we came back from the trip. as for reynold, would meet him up ocassionally when both of us are no. 1 free, no2. feeling bored. think the last time was a few weeks back and had dinner together.

then of course, kenneth tan, who i will see on a regular basis. not as in see see, but see him because we are from the same cca.

speaking of cca.. i have more or less come to term with myself that i will be leaving the choir after xmas caroling. dont know. hehe. will see how again.

and.. last thing before i go off to bed.. my first photo ever since i cut off my hair. i think im starting to miss my long hair. lol. weird .you would think that people with short hair takes a faster time for them to finish their shower. but it is not so for me. why?

with long hair - 15 mins max.

with short hair - 30 mins min.

what the hell am i doing?

(brenda and me)

BRENDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU????????????????????

lol, havent see you in a long time...............................................................

been occupying myself with books by Nelson Demillie. Finishing the last book now. i want to be a CIA/FBI/ NYPDagent now. lol. impossible.

Time to go back to the library to borrow more books or maybe i can steal some from my mum's stash. hehe.

tired tired, long day tml. need to sleep.

cole says (10:05 PM):
there's a song that goes, 'they never tell you that truth is subjective, they only tell you not to lie / they never tell you there's strength in vulnerability, they only tell you not to cry

okay, im happy now. i just bought 2 tubs of Ben & Jerry ice cream. and i finished half a tub. yay!

snap out of it

2007-11-25T23:03:00.000+08:00

snap out of it.

mistake?

2007-11-25T09:33:00.000+08:00

shit, i woke up feeling lousy.
I have been thinking of you. Was it a mistake that i made in the first place to ask you to leave? it has been a few months, and im still thinking of you. i dont know what it means. when you walked into the lift looking at me before turning away, my heart skipped a beat. it has been so very long since we last spoke. and I could still remember how i refused to listen to a word you said and insisted in going my way. seeing you everyday has not help much because instead of completely forgetting you and whatever, you are always in my line of sight.

sighs.

AFRICA!!!

2007-11-25T00:50:00.001+08:00

tell me

2007-11-09T23:24:00.000+08:00

whats the difference between talking to friends and socialising?

uh...?

2007-11-08T14:36:00.000+08:00

ah, i live in a HDB 5 room apartment.
and there is only one door that connects us to the corridor and the world beyond.
so.. we're going to have a bbq outside my house today. which is really weird.
hmm.

Pissed

2007-11-07T20:11:00.000+08:00

sometimes people piss you off for all the wrong reason.
when i say okay, i will do it later means i will do it later. because all the
stuff are in the room and i have no way of summoning them right down to me, when im
obviously, in a place where its about 200m or more away, unlike
Harry Potter who can go "accio laptop and papers" with a wave of his wand. for one, i dont
have a freaking wand and i cannot do magic.

sO when i say i dont have my laptop with me right now when in the middle of a
farewell ceremony or any other things, means i dont have.
dont make me repeat myself so many times until you get on my last nerve. cause oh boy,
you know what you are going to get after my patience runs out.

if you cant accept this fact about me, than too bad. so who are you,in the first place,
to say that im being unreasonable or i need to change?

so dont piss me off for all the wrong reason. something as simple as this could wait
until i have access to my laptop where all my information are inside. if im right beside my
laptop and you are reminding me to do all this, and i refuse to do it or put it off, then
of course you can start scolding me or shout at me.

so yeah, friend, please dont piss me off for all the wrong reason. you know who im talking
to.

is not that i dislike you or stuff like this. if you think of me this way, then all i can
say that you are more immature than me. seriously, who can be and act as immature as me in
our cca? you should know that you and everyone are more mature than me.

i love you as a friend. thats all i have to say.

scary 101

2007-11-03T23:17:00.000+08:00

ah, post 101. hmmm....

okay, going for a haircut tomorrow with rebecca.

current state of mind: scary scary scary

appointment been booked and all. meeting her at cine 3.30pm tomorrow.

this is the photo of the present now. with my long flowy hair cascading down my back. i look happy in it. lets hope the next photo im going to post up tml, i will look as happy as i did in this.

anyway, enough about that. i finally watched STARDUST!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!! lol, its not really finally if you think about it. i have been re-watching it for 3 times on the computer because my frind downloaded it way before the movie came out in sg. mauahahaa. but its a different atmosphere though when you watch it in a cinema with your friend whom you havent seen him in a long time. the last time was on the 23rd of sept. after the concert. ha, reynold!

hmm, currently reading "Plum Island" by Nelson Demille. feel that his writing style is somewhat similar to kenneth's. *goes back to novel* ah, see? thats why Im not studying for mst. *clicks tongue*

tada

knock knock

2007-10-30T00:13:00.000+08:00

knock knock
how come the door never opens?
because its locked.
sighs, random again.

its e learning week now. trying to complete all my tutorials and past year msts paper. still got 2 more weeks to msts. very stressed about it because i dont want the same thing to happen like the previous semester. scoring like crap.

attended FYP briefing today and sorted out my FYP groupmates already ( i hope). have to start registering our group and the technology area that we want to work in. need to attend technical talks on the 7th and 14th of november regarding fyp. after that will most probably decide with group mates on what to work in. ITP talk is at the end of this month. have to start completing the safety hazard quiz before deadline.

working kinda sucks the life out of me. especially so if the work is mind numbing. gargh. work is taking up my all my weekends. most likely will stop in december because of caroling. hmm. i think yani and farhan quitted. gone for greener pastures. haha.

choir matters are getting worse. feel that everything is very disorganised. committee meeting on wed regarding membership problems etc.

been checking my school email lately. saw lots of stuff that im interested in. may want to attend some of the stuff.

hmm. thats about all? except re-reading the whole harry potter series again. haha. going to start on neil gaimen soon enough. once i get my hands on his books. especially fragile things and stardust.

signing off,
unhappy and tired.

you are 17!

2007-10-26T23:23:00.000+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENNETH TAN!!!

and many happy returns! :D
thanks for always being there for me. :)

You're always making pictures in your mind, especially when you're bored.
You are easily inspired to think colorful, interesting thoughts.

The Visionary

You are charming, outgoing, friendly. You make a good first impression.
You possess good negotiating skills and can convince anyone of anything.
Happy to be the center of attention, you love to tell stories and show off.
You're very clever, but not disciplined enough to do well in structured environments.

In love, you see everything as a grand adventure. You enjoy taking risks for love.
And if things don't work out, you're usually not too much worse for the wear!

You would make a great entrepreneur, marketing executive, or actor.

At work, you need a lot of freedom to pursue your own path and vision.
How you see yourself: Analytical, creative, and peaceful

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Detached, wishy-washy, and superficial

What's Your Personality Type?

hmm.. lol

You Make a Great First Impression

You can handle almost any social situation with grace, even the tricky ones.

And you are good at making anyone's heart sing!

What Muse Are You?

haha!

You Follow Your Head

You're rational, collected, and logical.
Generally, it takes you quite a while to fall in love.
In fact, you've even been accused of being very picky.
While you're cool, you're not ice cold.
You just know what you want, and don't mind waiting to get it.

Do You Follow Your Head or Your Heart?

hmm. somewhat true.

You Have a Sanguine Temperament

You are an optimistic person who is easily content.
You enjoy casual, light tasks - never wanting to delve too deep into anything.
A bit fickle, it's easy for you to change plans or paths when presented with something better.

You enjoy all of the great things life has to offer - food, friends, and fun.
A great talker, you can keep the conversation going for hours.
You are optimistic and sure of your success. If you fail, you don't worry about it too much.

At your worst, you are vain. You are obsessed with your own attractiveness.
A horrible flirt, you tend to jump into love affairs and relationship drama easily.

2007-10-23T01:45:00.001+08:00

Okay, Im supposed to be revising for my quiz tomorrow or sleeping.(I have a 8am class tomorrow. Craps.)

Havent been paying attention in that module class. Have no idea what is going on in class.

Anyway, I came across this interesting article in the newspaper today. It reminded me of a topic Nicole and I were talking about today when we went to the toilet. hmmm..

Extracted from:Life!People The Straits Times Monday, October 22, 2007

Girl Talk by Suzanne Sng

There is a difference between being alone and being lonely, and while I like to be alone, I do not get lonely - not often anyway.

I am good at doing things alone. I can shop alone. I can eat in restaurants alone. I can even watch movies alone. Sometimes,I even like doing so.

As far as I know, few of my friends do this, and fewer of them enjoy solitude.

"Why would you want to watch a movie alone?" a colleague asked, almost incredulously. He has never gone to the cinema by himself, ever.

"Cant you find a friend to go with you?:

Sure, I can, but it's easier to go by myself.

One, it's difficult to arrange a time to meet up with friends. They are busy with work, significant others, kids and other stuff more important than, say, catching a huge movie with tiny balls.(That's the tagline for Balls of Fury, which is about innocent little pingpong balls, for you gutterbrains out there.)

Two, if we are to make the supreme effort to synchronise our schedules, I'd rather we meet for dinnerwhere we can have an actualy conversation instead of sitting in the fark and having irate patrons shushing us when we so much as whisper.

And three, I'm anti-social.

I thought I was all alone in enjoying my own company until I read a piece about one of my favourite fashion designers, Marc Jacobs, in the latest issue of W magazine.

"I have a funny love for melancholy," says Jacobs, who, in the evenings, occasionally finds himself eating in his dining room all by himself.

Sitting at the table, he says, he'll experience an odd sense of sorrow, which brings its own satisfacion. "I do like being in this house, feeling lonely and a little sad," he says adding, "It really does it for me."

There is a crucial difference, though, between being alone and being lonely.

You can be alone and happy to be spending some ME time away from the madding crowd. Its\'s a time to slow down from the frenzy of work and simply contemplate life.

You can be at the rowdiest party and feel lonely because the booze, throbbing music and sweating bodies rubbing against you cant fill the huge empty void inside. Or you can be having dinner with your boyfriend and suddenly realising he doesnt make you laugh any more.

Then there is the not altogether unpleasant feeling of being alone and lonely.

It's sort of like the Portuguese emotion known as saudade, which originates from the Lation word for solitude and loneliness.

It's a feeling of longing for something that one is fond of, which is gone, but might return in a distant future. It often carries a fatalistic tone and a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might really never return.

I have no qualms admitting that, now and then, I happily wallow in bouts of melancholy, when I just stay at home alone on Sundays, listen to the Cowboy Junkies, hauntingly croon Blue Moon Revisited on repeat mode, and mope - for no reason at all.

But not many people do that and even if they did, they will not admit it. It's a sign of weakness, after all.

Guys, from the purely unscientific observation of my friends, are more susceptible to loneliness and more afraid of being lonesome than girls. They cant even watch football on a Saturday night without concregating in some pub or at least having the company of an ice-cold beer.

A report from the Australia Institute two years ago reinforces my observations. According to a study, irrespective of age, men were less likely to experience social support, especially those who live alone, and hence were more likely to feel lonely.

In comparison, women who either lived alone or with others perceive very similar levels of support and friendship.

A British family study in the same year found that 56% of males said they were sometimes lonely compared with 48% of females.

Yet, paradoxically, men are less likely to admit to feeling lonely - to another human being, not in an anonymous - unless you know them very well (or if they are extremely inebriated, in which case they may express their state of loneliness to any available female, if you know what I mean).

The same Australian study finds that men rely on their wives and girlfriends for their emotional and social needs to a greater degree than women, who draw on wider sources of support.

I have a married friend whose husband cannot be left to his own devices on weekends. If
she goes out without him, he turns into this needy creature who calls every hour because he
doesnt know what to do without her.

I've seen it happen often enough when guy friends break up: They go out, get riproaringly
drunk and hook up with a random floozy-or worse, partake in a string of meaningless flings-
because they are unable to cope with being single.

Yes, girls do stupid things too out of loneliness, but seldom do they go in hunt of inappropriate
men.

As a silly insecure 20something, I used to feel like a loser if I didnt make plans for the
weekend. On Friday nights, I would sit at home wondering what cool parties were going on
that I wasn't invited to. Or I'd imagine my coupled friends going to fancy restaurants
and having romantic candlelight dinners.

But now that I am a little older -and hopefully wiser - I know better.

As Marc Jacobs puts it in another peice, this time in New York magazine (yup, this guy sure
is hung up about his lonesome self): "For the first time in my life, I can stay at home alone
and feel okay....
" I used to think that if I was alone physcially, that meant I was lonely, but for the first
time in my life, this is not the case."

Still, he admit:"There are nights when I cant's sleep. I go into a fantasyland and tabeau
sort of thinking, like, Tonight would be the perfect night to say, 'Honey,I'm really tired
and worried about work. And tell me about your day'."

He asks hopefully:"Do you think someone will read this and try to get in touch with me? If i read
that about someone, I'd drop him a note."

At the end of the day, being alone is okay and I can enjoy it, but let's also
admit it- it can sometimes get a wee bit lonely, whether you are a world-famous designer
or just a journalist.

So drop him a note. Or drop me one. "

2007-10-13T23:51:00.000+08:00

I have this love/hate issue with my mum.

Okay, its not a good opening to an entry. But who says life is good anyway. Been down this few days with high fever and throat infection. Should have known the signs after the backache started appearing on wed night. Missed school for thurs and fri. choir on friday. hmm. Been sleeping a lot due to the effect of the medicines that I have to take. This is one of the reason why I refuse to see a doctor or take medicine unless really really really necessary.

Still feeling a little off. Fever just subsided today. But my voice hasn't returned yet. Dry cough and flu are still present.

Family.
Since I've been home this few days, I'm able to observe what is really going on. Im not home about 80% of the time.

Prior to me falling sick, I went out with mum to get some stuff and she aired her unhappiness to me about my paternal grandmother who is currently residing with us. I felt abit ridiculous after mum told me about what grandmum had said to the doctor, friends, etc.

How so?
Before the start of all things,
On last tue evening, I asked after my grandmum after noticing that she's having some difficulty walking. She told me and my mum that it is because she sat too long on a hard surface area the day before talking to her friend, thus, it has resulted in this.

Then on Friday, when she couldnt take her back pain anymore, she asked mum to bring her to the doctor. Amazingly, what she told the doctor and what she told me and my mum is whole different story. In front of the doctor and mum, she blamed my mum that it was because of the pails that are positioned and when she tried to get up from the stool that she was sitting on to wash her clothes, her back accidentally bumped onto the edge of the pails, thats why she is having all this back pains now. The funny thing is, she said that it happened during the month of August.

My aim here is not to berate grandmum that she's at fault or something. I dont take any sides in any situation. I would try to access wht is going on from the beginning till the end before I start on my point of view.

-fast forward.
Aunts from paternal side came to visit her, and apparently the same thing that she told the doctor was repeated to them and including the fact that she was sitting downstairs for 3 hours talking to her friend. But the emphasis was on the pails that my mum positioned that caused her being unable to get up from the bed and move around.

Strange thing was my aunts believed her. Rather than trying to find out the truth itself. And comparing the time difference between October and August, would it take so long for the back problem to surface? Especially so when long ago, it was determined that she is suffering from back problems too and any agitation would result her in being unable to get up from her bed herself and cause her pain whenever she tries to move.

Comparing the statement that she told me and mum, and the statement(s) that she told other people, there is a vastly great difference. This has not only become the matter of the truth but also a matter of allegations and reputation ( for my mum).

[to be continued, im coughing my lungs out again.]

Busy

2007-09-15T11:55:00.000+08:00

Been going back to school almost everyday for choir practice. Had a almost 12 hour practice on Monday. Voice nearly gone. Concert is less then a week away and there are still many loose ends yet to be tied up. Havent been satisfied with my voice and the way I sing. Went very off-key all the time after coming back from the camp. sighs.

hmm. Already made some plans about what to do after the concert ends and the cca drive. Might be going back to Paper People to work. Farhan and Yani approached me about going back as I said that I'll go back after the concert is over and done with. Told them I would prefer to work only on weekends.

Might want to go back string ensemble. But have to see when is their practice sessions. Want to pick up the violin, or maybe go back to viola again? Not sure too.

Meeting up with the choir committee members later and the emcees. Asked Reynold to help us out in emceeing.

Lots of little problems cropped up here and there. Hope, our officer, keeps on breathing down on our necks regarding the ticket sales. And a very big communication mistake regarding NP principal coming down to watch us, which wasnt confirmed. Everytime when Nicole and I go down to her office, she repeats practically the same stuff to us. *yawns* lol.

Holiday is almost gone. Havent exactly met up with any of my friends. Class outing tomorrow at the Grand Cathay for Suki Sushi buffet. Going to push the tickets to my classmates.

The art/music culture is still not established in Singapore . People always tend to dismiss such events due to "lack of money" or "i dont appreciate such music". Gets on my nerves sometimes. Why cant they be more open about new stuff even if they have never heard us sing before. Isnt it the same theory you apply to new food that you havent tasted before, but you are willing to pay exorbitant prices just for a taste of it?

LTC Camp@Redang Day 1

2007-09-13T09:25:00.000+08:00

It's 9 plus in the morning, and I'm still feeling groggy from sleep. Yup yup, photos are up for the first day of the LTC Camp@Redang. Still missing some of the photos here and there. But nevermind. :D

Nova comprising of : Alvin, Anthony, "Charles", Cindy, Daryl, Kevin, Kenneth C, Kenneth T, Rachel, Reynold and Rick. A bunch of highly enthusiastic people (meaning they get high all the time) and of course! the best teammates you can possibly ask for!!

Met up at Harbourfront around 2pm? And proceeded on to the cruise check-in point at Harbourfront centre. Sat around some empty space and thought of our cheer.

Strawberry shortcake, apple pie!
V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!
Nova Nova has the drive!
All you people "high" "high" "high"!

Embarked onto Superstar Virgo and was greeted by their mascots. Took some pictures with them. Alas, the photos are going for $10/piece. Kinda pricey.

Checked into our rooms and got to meet Elisha, who is our bunk mate. ;D

And then, some little speech from the Director of the SAA before we went for a "fine" dining dinner. Apparently, it's to see how we apply our culinary skills and table manners. 0.0

Had a 4 course meal, with Seafood Soup, Smoked Salmon. 3 main course to choose from: Grilled Beef, Roasted Chicken and Baked Salmon. The beef was good. The table of 6 that I was sitting with all ordered Grilled Beef. Ending off the meal, was a Chocolate Mousse. :)

People at table 99

People at table 98
(Think that there were some gatecrashers from table 98 to 99) haha!

After that we wandered around the cruise, waiting for the life-jacket drill to start and of course the sail-off from Singapore and some little entertainment show.

Night view of Harbourfront

Lobby area of the Cruise

Headed up to the top deck to have some ice-breaker game. Lots of laughter while playing the game. Cheated a little by copying down people's name as we have to remember the names from the starting point till your turn.

Followed by a motivational talk by the Director about the qualities of a Leader.

And then supper was at the Mediterranean Buffet area. Food wasn't fantastic. Personally think their standards dropped since the last time I been there.

Daryl wearing the balaclava, pretending to be a Taliban Terrorist. Looks pretty convincing with his army camouflage jacket.

Anyway, went to the guys' bunk to discuss about the skit that we have to put up tomorrow at Redang. Since all of us watched the entertainment show onboard, we decided to make a parody of the show. With socks being thrown around and "modern arts vs martial acts" with the "Taliban Terrorist" and our mascot.

Went to back to our bunk around 2am? to catch some sleep and prepare our luggages to check out tomorrow morning.

That's pretty much for the first day activities. :)

Oh yeah, and a Happy 19th Birthday to Reynold!

(hehe, his little "unglam" shot secretly taken by one of the guys at table 98)
Happy Birthday! and many happy returns!

HAHA! you are older than me!
I'm still 18~~~ :P

BACK!

2007-09-09T00:49:00.000+08:00

I'm going to take back my words about how I am not going to be happy and enjoy the LTC Camp@ Redang! WOOTS!!

I LOVE YOU GUYS MAN!

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!

OooooohhhHHHH NOVA!!!!

Anyway, just reached home after a 12 hours bus ride from Merang. Had lots of fun on the bus. Lots of crappiness, racist jokes and laughter.

Will blog about the whole trip after I get all the pictures from team mates who brought their cameras along. hehe.

love, out.

Goodbye

2007-09-05T07:58:00.000+08:00

Goodbye people. Well, at least to those who knows that I wont be around for the next few days.

Gargh, I DONT WANNA GO!!!!! :(

Will be meeting up with my tribe mates (and other tribes) later at Harbourfront to check in to Superstar Virgo. Cant really say Im looking forward to the trip. I wanna go for this friday practice!!! The violinist, french horn player and pianist will be coming down to practice the first half songs with us!!! Furthermore, there'll be an audition for the second half songs. shit man.

Still havent packed my bag for the trip yet. Everything is still lying around. :/

Hmm.. Will probably update about what happen yesterday after I come back. Maybe Sunday night after some rest or something.

Dad wont be around for the next 2 months. He's going overseas to China. Without him around, I think my mother wont be going to go the concert after all. No one to fetch her there and back home. :/

Gotta go and start packing my stuff.
Bye people~!
Till the next...

Good Company

2007-09-02T10:50:00.000+08:00

Had sectionals yesterday.
Got the wrong time. Was supposed to start at 10am and I thought it was at 9am. Gave Matthew a wake up call at 7am. argh, very sorry about that.
Slacked around in the clubhouse with Nicole for awhile after practice ended. Took a nap as I slept at 4am the previous night.
Went over to meet Brenda around 4.20pm. haha. around there. Our FIRST DATE!! lol. Had lots of fun chilling out and talking about lots of stuff. Walked down from Somerset station to Cineleisure, Heeren, Tangs. Finally settled at Wheellock Place, Cedele. A very nice waiter gave us a window seat. muahaha. He must have been eavesdropping on us when we were wondering aloud whether were there window seats available.
Wanted to try SunwithMoon. But too bad, there werent any window seats available.
Hmm.. Ordered the dinner set meal. Had rosemary lemon chicken while she had salmon pasta. One very good thing to actually go back again is for the clam chowder!!!! It's super nice. Probably the best clam chowder we ever had. The free-flow of bread with a smidgen of garlic spread at the bottom was good too. So much that when the main courses arrive, we were still eating the bread and sort of neglected the food until it turned cold. lol.
Had lots of fun chatting with her. hehe! have to do with some of the common ideas/belief we share. muaahaha.
Spent about 3 hours over there, just eating and chilling. There was some difficulty in walking when we first got up from our seats. Like the thigh areas sort of cramped.
Walked down the streets of Orchard Road chatting and just popping into stores here and there and we starbucked. Tried the green tea frappa. Was wonderful. Definitely going back again for more. muahaha.
Called it a night soon after and went home. Planning to meet up again 2 weeks later. haha! more chill out sessions and food and shopping.

hmm. recevied an email from the company I used to work for before I told them I'm stopping work for a few months to concentrate on choir. They are inviting me back to work with them again. Not sure whether should I accept it or not. Still thinking about it and staring at my organiser to see which days I can actually put in some hours.

Kushin-bo

2007-08-28T13:06:00.000+08:00

Went out with Wei De on Sunday to sort of celebrate the end of exams. haha! as usual talked alot about random stuff and ate!

He brought me to Kushin-bo, an "authentic" or so they claim, a Japanese-style buffet restaurant situated opposite toy'r'us at Suntec City. MOVE over Sakae Sushi.

Had rows of sashimi, sushi, tempura, shabo shabo (that little steamboat with the paper thingy?), soba and of course the desert area! I could have just died and gone to heaven after seeing lots of green tea mochi balls and salmon sashimi. oh yeah, they had a free flow of snow crabs too :) It was fun dismantling the snow crabs and poking the flesh out of their spindly legs. But then again, it was kinda troublesome, so I just gave up another finishing half of a crab.
Started concentrating on the sashimi and raw stuff. Like that sea-shell thingy. It was much nicer than the snail like thingy which has no taste and was rubbery like.. =.=

Didnt get to try the mini-steamboat that Wei De had. But it looks pretty good from where I was sittting. His comment was that the stock is good and sweet. hmm.. have to go back again and try. haha!

Oh, and every hour, there'll be this voice and bell singing the jingle of Kushin-bo and most of the patrons there would get up and start rushing towards the teppanyaki section. It's the special offer time where the first 45 people in the queue would get some stuff that is not on the menu. The table next to us got a cheese-crayfish. Looks good but both of us didnt even bother to get up and queue for the food. Lazy and troublesome.

After deciding that we had enough sashimi and other stuff, we headed straight for the desert area. Stuff like ice cream, mochi ice cream, mochi balls, cheesecake, chocolate were available.
Left the place soon after as it was close to 9pm? Ah, for $40++ it was quite worth it. Im so going to go back there again. nmuahaha.
~~~~~~~~

Woke up this morning with a very strong craving for fish. Realised that I have been choosing fish over chicken this few weeks. Chicken is nice.. but its still chicken. But for fish, there is like salmon, pomfret, sharks etc.

Walked over to NTUC to shop for the ingredients. Bought cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, lemons, snow peas and SALMON!! Took quite long to decide which piece of salmon to choose because I wasnt sure how much could I eat after buying so much vegetables.

Viola! Im glad I didnt overcook the salmon. So the sweet taste of it was preserved and i pan-fried it with garlic, a little bit of butter, a dash of black pepper and salt, and drizzle lemon juice all over it, including the vegetables which was cooked earlier. A very strong sweet-lemony taste. muahaha!

So there goes my first attempt to cook a salmon fillet. Still got about half of the fillet sitting in my fridge complete with the leftcover uncooked veggie.hmm..
~~~~

okay, I know Im supposed to be still in the pits of mourning and whining about my laptop and posting up emo entries about it. hmm.. but whatever. Make do with what I have right now first and see how again. Maybe a miracle will happen and I'll pick up a $1000 bill right off the floor! woots! haha! =.=

Gargh, I hate to wash up after cooking. =.= Always tried to minimise the utensils and crockeries used. jeez.

Anyway, gotta head back to school in awhile more to hand in my passport and gym for a little. Rainy weather still hasnt clear up. Cant go for a swim which will be much kinder on my ankle.

~~~~

:/ i really really need to get to a chinese sinseh to fix my ankle. It felt out of sorts when I was running on the threadmill and cycling. Could feel the sockets and the ankle bone sort of coming apart?

anyway, after that, went to look for flowers with Kenneth. Started talking about we should give guest singers and all potted plants as now we have a budget and potted plants are cheap. And I saw this really really really really CUTEE cactus!!!! see?????

Then we went to check out the flower section in this huge refrigerator type thingy. ah!!!!! I LOVE FLOWERS!!!!!!!
Flowers flowers flowers flowers! lots of roses!!! kinda like them. But my favourite right now are lilies! :) well, kinda sad that I couldnt see any pure white lilies.

~~~

Well, Kenneth came up with this list, compiling my personality.
