CONFUSION

I'm getting puzzled by this CAC camp that I'm going next week! Last night I received a msg from a gal, Li Jun, saying that i'm in group 6 and grp name is chicken little. Hahas. cute rights? But that was also a sudden notice for tonight's pre-camp dinner @ 6 PM, vivo. We are also to hand in the camp fee of 40 bucks

On the other hand, i received a email from hui wen saying that I'm in group 4 (Fantastic 4) a bit too macho huhs..the name of da group.Yet she says the camp fee is 45 bucks. Why would there be such a contradiction??

i'm so confused. Its all getting screwed~

WOES

Recently, I just realised that many people around me are having relationship problems. I've heard problems from 4 couples are 2 other singles. Even me couldnt escape totally without being scarred. While I'm still recovering from the fears in me, I can't help but think of everyone else.

Relationships are bound to have problems? Thats a burning question on my mind. But as far as I realised, problems are usually due to the guy neglecting the girl for another hobby (esp games). I very much believe that we,gals, need a fair share of attention at times. Of course, the guy could have time to himself too. But always doing this is a no-no for me. It just makes one think that games which is a non-living thing is more important than a bubbly moving creature.

And most of the time, we have the tendency to compare. Comparing with ur frens in love. Probably, not comparing will mean less problems.

Gals will always love to stay in the Honeymoon period of a relationship (usually the first few months). I was fortunate to retain that for more than one year. Trying not to let it leave my grasp now. And of course each of us have a set of different expectations laid for the relationship. A terrible problem to an outsider may just seem minor to you and vice versa. So listen to your heart, is "these" what you want? Its okae to consider people's opinion but they, having a different set of expectations, may lead you into making the wrong decisions.

Nevetheless, a relationship still need 3 basic factors to build on and strengthen:
1. Degree of Communication
2. Level of Communality
3. Amount of external support.

SUMMARY

Monday,25 June, 2007

Monday was my gathering with my jc friends. Specifically, its a farewell dinner for Shuwen who is now in Australia preparing for an independent way of life. It has been a long time since all of us had met up! Its counted in MONTHS!. As usual, we talked about things all under the sun, all sorta random stuff (including the topic sex, love and lust and bras etc) BUt we are still good gals, we didnt have any dirty talks yea!

We settled at this Japanese resturant beside Ajisen in PS. Observe and you will realise that almost all the waiters and waitress are non-singaporeans. We got quite pissed with the kind of service they had provided.

It was the first time that I gave Shuwen a hug, a tight one. Only to realise recently that one always miss the past. Always hope that we could go back, even though we used to dread the past (the present last time). No matter how dreadful, cherish them. I hope i could do this. :)

PIcs of our drooling food! Especially that omelette (dunnoe the name of the dish again~)

WE took turns to take photo with Shuwen that day, retaining as much of the memories as possible!

Everybody at the gathering. With the "tu-tu" mouth (Shuwen and Jerica)

Tuesday was planned with the intention of playing some badminton games with Wayne at the sports complex. The court was booked at 10am! Since there were some bickering the night b4, I gave a miss at calling him, checking if he would be awake and embarkin on the journey here.

Sad to say, when I reached there, there was nobody in sight even up to 10.30 am. I just cant help but cried. The feeling of being pang seh...ARGHs. The reasons for my tears were more. Bird shit fell on me and the name keychain that Jasmine made for me in Sec 1 loosen apart and fell all on the floor. (I got an 'O' missing now) It just made me felt soooo unlucky. Nothing goes in the way I want.

I decided to walk home at 10.30, received a call from this lil boy. I acted that I'm alright. But this made him more guility and he rushed down to my hse. Everything went okae after some thrashin out. Becoz of the bicker again, we missed out kbox plan.

We ended up at Hougang Mall, giving us some treats AGAIN before going to Popular for my RE-stock.

The pasta with an egg was really special, with sauce that is unique,not too creamy. Ideal for peeps who get sick with creamy sauce. The chicken Lasagne was much better than the one at Delifrance. BUt I would say that the tomato sauce at the sides were a bit too much and the cheese could have been a bit more!

And coz its Tuesday, we went indulging at the half-price waffles at GELARE! Its has been so long since I've been ther with him. :)

WE had CHERRY EXPLOSION ice-cream on it.

And then the day ended with a crabby dinner that my mum cooked and a game of LIFE, a board game we bought at Popular!

BACK TO NORM

After a long time, I finally decided to accompany Wayne to his favorite RamEN resturant near MEriden Hotel. I would say that the ramen there is traditional enough to attract so many Japanese patrons. You always see them eatin as if they really miss their hometown! Maybe they did.

The noodles are spongey to give us the kind of feel and texture one desire!

The soup base is not too salty, just enough to hook you.=)

Wayne with his Miso Ramen and me with kimchi Ramen!

And yea, my sister helped me to purchase a manicure set for only 7.20 bucks at John Little wher they are having a closing down sale. You should really check it out too. Anyway, I have no idea on how to use that French whitener, anyone knows?

ThATS the pen circled in red. Its a crayon like and it never seems to dry!

This is what the pen says...Guidance pls.llolx.

Baking and Swimming

Whisking, squeezing, waiting for the bell of the oven to ring were my main activities today.

I finally get to bake cookies after a few months. We encountered some difficulties when we wanted to whisk the butter and soft Brown sugar manually. It trains arm muscles man!

The first batch of the cookies were of a failure, with a bit a burnt circumference, but they taste good still. One missing taste and smell was due to the absence of vanilla essence..=( We will remember to put vanilla essence the next time round! Some pics of our cookies....

The whisking is one of my product! And the photo on the right is Xiang LIng at work! =)

After the baking, we went swimming at the Condo's swimming pool. Its my first time into a condo and a swimming pool. The swimming pool at a condo taste different. I know coz i always drink water. haha.. I'm still a beginner yea! I must mention that I finally managed to swim half lap without stopping for the first first time. So happy.

WE went hot in the steam bath room. The room gets misty that I could hardly see xiang. We heard that steam bath could slim us down....wonder if its true...oh gtg. haha.

Vivo and Holland V!

Alrights! Lets blog while these memories are still hot in my mind. I would be lying if I say today is just a normal day! Its a 2-girl day with extra laughter just like how I eat my food with extra chilli!

The day started with a mega shopping trip at vivo. I went to pull and bear, key my pin and I got 4 items in exchange for less than 60 bucks. Its definitely worth it! =)) I'm once again the biggest spender today! The fun goes on when I share with Goey about the jokes of yesterday! She just cant stop laughing when she thinks bout ph and my broken sunglasses...seriously MALU! Too bad Goey has no excess to spend this month.

After vivo, we took a ride to orchard to head to Holland V...it just seems so far to get there de! Change and change but having reached ther, holland V is more than what I had expected. The retails there ... Different feeling is manifested in that small area. Urban yet rural and also, an artistic area! We went into some run-down buildings hoping to find some special characteristics but we ended up smelling different aroma when we move from one shop to another. Surprising, there are shops like GRamophone etc around.

We walked around, seriously cant decide which cafe-pub to go to. Its either too expensive or the wrong kind of food like Lebanese and MIddle Eastern Food, another one that seems to have a great ambience sells INdian food. I wanna shout ALAMAK! Ended up we went to BREKO....i was quite upset when i saw the metal chairs, those MacDonalds used one. LUCKILY.....we went up and the ambience was 3 stars out of 5. Concept is red and simple.

We chitchatted there and took photos. Goey was saying that Im a cam-king.! haha....she needs to bring extra battery out when she goes out with me the next time, but I dun think I have a illness that bad rite?...MY cam illness! Photos... more may be coming up!

好烦哦

So much things to think about. Once again, I have come to a point in life where I have to make decisions. It is then I realise, confirmed that I hate makin decisions especially personal decisions. There are so many factors to consider about, so many possible outcomes to expect.

University camps. Yes, this is what I'm refering to now. So many camps -Faculty and non-faculty based, we even have camps for buddhist. I am so reluctant to go to a camp with no one that I know. On the other hand, I fear that not going to camp = no friends/less friends. *Sighs*

I was still anticipating for Uni to start at the beginning of the year but im aldy dreading it now.New environment again. BUT i'll try to pull myself out of the thinking and adopt an optimistic view.

Haven meet up with Pammie for like 4 months. It was to our horror when we roughly calculated over the phone last nite.

I miss the past, but the future is coming by every second.

UNEXPECTED TRIP

I never go to work today. In fact what happen was that I met up with xl & yx. The combination was awkward at first. I guess we all din really know what to say. But i love yx's jokes. Never fail to make me laugh, though they could be the coldest of all!. We wandered around in compass point like some dumb spirits~~ As u noe, compass is just so small, how long can we wander??

At last, we decided to head towards vivOcity. When yx and xl meets, i go back to the life of sec 2! Forever going against each other and under xl's dare to go vivo via 80, we took 80! It took us almost 1hr 30 mins to reach our destination. I think yx really have to clear his ear, like goey! Always hearing the wrong things.

Taken on the bus when we were bored. Not really bored though, it was considered a great journey for me, seeing places that I have never seen before!After that long journey, we visited the toilet as our first stop!!

Oh wwell, vivo's Pull and Bear is having a great great sale now. It simply makes me drool and smile! Tops and belts can get as cheap as 4.90 bucks! See....money saver! I went in to have a peep but will get them all tml when i drop by with aeng!

Dinner was at Long JOhn and the top level was where we take photos and chat....see..tada!

Light bulber koon

I finally caught that pose of yx after trying for 2 times!

GST FIGURES

For the whole day, i was seeing figures and reciting ABCs the next moment. The filing of magazine subscription forms then according to initials made me mouth the ABCs again and again. Im not a good visualiser. Needa verbalise them!

I really got so fed-up with the working procedure in that company. Me and my sister were supposed to be in-charge in data entries for book stores, supermarkets, petrol kiosks etc all coz of the July 7% Gst implementation...there is soo much changes to be made. Old cost price and new cost price. Our immediate supervisior din even noe what to do. When we approached her, she gave us a super lousy attitude. So mad! If she don't know, how would we know??? All the numbers and formulas are messed up. But working there also made me realised actually mediacorp din earn much from the cheap magazines like 8 days. More is earned from FHM and stuff. LOl - So, guys...spend wisely.

And yea! I haven introduce the working place. It looks impressive from the outside, the reception counter. Not too bad when we step into the first room. From its really terrible when I got into the room where I'm working at! (Circulation departmt) The chairs were all broken, some without handle, and some of the back of the chair shakes as if its in an earthquake. It not decent, not a decent-looking office.

Lastly, I ate the worst 炸鱼片米粉 in my whole life. Failure 1 : No milk. Failure 2: Weird combi in the ingredients, included bittergout. haix. Failure 3: The fish is soooooo dry despite soaking in the soup. LOUSY cook!

SHOPPING SPREE

I got a free ride from my sister's boyfriend to town yesterday, although it was pretty late when we reached town, 4 pM! We separate our shopping spree with my elder sis and her boyfriend. Bui bUi was with me! Our first stop was at Zara( think is Wheelock that one). Its sooo much bigger than the normal zara retail outlets. I enjoyed shopping there...its really a shopping paradise there for me. I enjoyed that much...that much! Its actually unbelievable that we spent 1 hr there! I wished I could buy everything there but everything is so expensive! T.T

So pics in the fitting room =x. I wanna get a dress, but its just so hard to get a suitable one! Think its coz of my inappropriate body shape =( Moreover, I really wonder why dresses are always "almost transparent" arghs. I look like a pregnant woman in fluffy dresses. baba-koon. That's my meimei trying on that white coat! She looks so funny in it. Xtra large coat on her.muahas. I bought that white pants in the end for (omg) 89.90 bucks. Heartachess. Mei gt a cardigan there. I'm Still considering if I wanna get that happie colour dress!

Well, to prove the existence of my mei mei, thats us at URS and at the escalator. Mei is so lag in her actions! We tried 4 times before she managed to capture a pic of us standin at the escalator! She wanna buy a white sandals but becoz of her skinny feet, she look awful when wearing the sandals. (too much empty space). And yea, for our dinner, we settled for some cute donuts, one each!

On our way home, the car was filled with laughter. Especially when my elder sis mis-pronounced "HORRIBLE" as "HORNy-BLE". haha. Oh yea...and i was so blur that I forgt to bring my phone out yesterday but I brought my pouch out, thinking my phone is in it. dumBS!!

As for today, I got a very very sudden lobang from my sis's fren - to work at Mediacorp Publishing located at YCK for data-entry. Seriously, its dumb siansss.... 3 days assignment. May be missing in action these few days then!

只要笑一笑，没什么事是过不了的！

my encouragement when i was working at SERI~ same thing for now.

Saturday Nite

SATURDAY NITE AT J-8

Saturday night starts and ends with spending a night at j8. Just because its too late to go too far and too lazzy. Whats more, just dont wanna stay at home. Staying at home runs those thoughts out.

Still failed to find any "pass-able" bottoms and belts. just too fussy , KOON!

We spent some time at the Arcade that gives a Taiwan-y feeling according to my sister who had been there. It feels quite weird coz its one of the very few times where i go to the arcade not as the identity of a couple. Its time to learn how to be kiddy "myself". Just look at that penguin, so cute. haha.s.

For dinner, we headed to Sakae Sushi. I dunnoe what happened to Xiang ling's Yong Tau Foo. From a pure chinese food, it became Japanese.

As usual, I must must have my extra thick wasabi. And look at my balloon-ed cheeks! Its stuffed with that strawberry smiles (strawberry with ice-cream). Its damn chilling. Shouldnt have done that.

Random thoughts came to my mind. Life is a filter. Serious, i mean it. Xiang tot that she heard wrongly when I said this. Think bout this, as we grows, friends who used to be close with us leave us one by one. Of course, some would stay. Good, worthy ones! New ones enter our life every now and then. Thats not only for friends. The same things goes to the partner of our life. Unsuitable ones just go on our separate ways. Thus I think that Life..its a filter, hopefully it will leave us with all the great residues.

Yups. Before I end, next week rough schedule.

- Holland V with Aeng n frens

- Cake baking with Aeng

- Cookies baking with Xl

- Shopping at Vivo

Upsetting day!

UN-KNOWN SADNESS

Sadness crawls in usually at the night, before I sleep. So weird. I can't sleep and cant help thinking bout so many things!

I have finally decided to embark on a trip to Hong Kong! But my parents said..NO!...arghs! I'm so upset. WEnt for a swim to cool myself down. It really works! ^^ its really lovely to look at small kids swimming. Its just like guppies...so cute! Unfortunately I din swim for long coz ther's a group of teenagers...splitting water at each other. Just feel so disgusting to swim in their saliva.

Mars for smile too ;)

My Dinner for the Family

Half-Failed Dinner

I can't believe that I actually removed the skin of a cod fish all by myself...Its really disgusting man! EE! Scale-y , oily and greyyish. I guess my children next time will suffer as I will avoid cooking Poultry n fishes!

Anyway...My noodles are a lil of a failure as the sauce was too little, making the noodle dry and sticky =(. I call it dry noodle (and really dry) hahas! But the fish was nice. :) at least not that bad yea! COnsidering that its my very very first attempt in cooking a main dish.

The soup had a slightly better than average, i think. Just that it doesnt look as good. Shall improve on the garnishes next time round.

wanted to take some pics but in my anxiety to taste the food, i forgot. :(
