TYPED THIS A LONGG WAY BACK AND I DONT KNOW WHY I DIDNT POST IT.. i think cos it was messy and the last part didnt have pics, but reading it again made me happy so ahhh wth here it is!!! :))))



have been so happy lately doing every thing ive been wanting to do while i was having exams but couldnt
freedom never tasted sweeter
but seriously i think if i slowed down i'd realise that im freaking tired
cos i go on days without sleeping for 40+ hours or go for mambo+supper and force myself to wake up at 11
in fact i think im even more active and have longer days compared to when i was studying la
but its all good im not complaining at all
cos i know after this one there'd be no such long holiday anymore for a really long time and i'd be stuck in a stupid rat race
so yess this holiday is really important to make the most out of even tho i feel like im racing against time!


instead of looking for a job ive been looking for work clothes
not HUNTING down, but just whenever i pass by such shops i pop in and see what they have
and gosh i came to a conclusion that i hate office wear
gahh i cannot imagine dressing up myself every morning, 5 days a week in that sort of clothes
its sooo restricting and non expressive
its all buttons and ruffles, like u might as well suck the life out of me right now instead of dragging it out through my working life
thats the one thing i'd miss about school
dressing up however u like, as for me that would be a tanktop and shorts, which is oh so comfy and quick to put on and go
ok theres another thing i'd miss about school - the freedom of choice to go or not to go, and if i dont go today maybe i can make it up at his other lecture later in the week
yesss yess im WHINING about having to work fulltime

at the moment im missing a couple of people, bummed that certain people wont be around for my bday, waiting for people to arrive in singapore, and looking forward to trips out of singapore!

2 weeks into the hols and i havent quite met up with everyone yet - what have i been doing with my timeee!?
i think ive still got a whole list of people whom i havent met since early in the year and have been putting off/missing outings due to exams and telling them i'd plan for something after everything
i should get down to meeting them or else it'll never happen

i ended on thurs and met ferly after for banmian at the airport then went to explore tampone, and its always great to explore new places
also did mani pedi & massage later and some shopping..


fri: it was back to back activities which saw me waking up early for sentosa with sups, nat & yijun





and later getting to ryan's bday dinner & butter (which was pretty awesome cos ryan had connections for VIP entry and we didnt have to queue!!) fri also saw major riverside drama + major waterworks

@ sun with moon


@ butter


where it got quite wild and thot that drinking from cups was wayyy overrated


1st official week of the hols

mon: lunch with ferls, pei and jon at jons work place then major shopping with the girls in town and then dinner + the working ones




tues: shopping at haji lane & bugis with christine and ferly



wed: slacked the whole day at home in pjs and then spontaneously decided to get my ass out for mambo



thurs: hung out @ hv w alicia and shopped for unicorn party stuff for surprise birthday party at yq's house at midnight (this was the day i ate 3 dinners over 5 hrs... GAHHHH)



fri: finally got round to packing up all my books and school material, actually i was forced into it.. my dad said clear up all ur rubbish before i get home from work or dont expect to go out partying.. that threat made me jump into action right after i woke up

its funny how everything fit in just 1 bag and that bag represented my life for the past 5 mths.. fingers crossed that i would never have to open that bag again!
had dinner with parents and then was supposed to go for yq's birthday drinks and butter thing but got lazyyy and was a big big pangseh

sat: ran errands all round singapore early in the day then rushed home to get ready for AMIES SLEEPOVER 09!
since it was my highlight of the week, it deserves a seperate post buttt knowing me that'll never happen so heres the highlights of the event! haha



1) everyone arriving late and missing the house at sunset/in the day AGAIN

2) fantastic dinner spread of pre starters starters to dessert & coffee (from exotic stuff like watermelon & moz cheese to tapas wraps to SALMON SALMON SALMON)


3) mini dessert cakes that trumped our dessert that we prepared but never got to do :(


4) PROFILING : i think its a great exercise! learnt so much about everyone in that short period of time and like what chris said "helps us remember what we should not forget about each other " and there were some really hilarious answers




5)graduation scrolls from ferls w HSM quotes



6)SHUTTER with people who scare easily.. it was hilarious for me and louie ok.. like SOOO FUNNY. with people (ferls) chanting easter bunnies at scary parts and people (jac) peeping thru her blanket at only 1/8 of the screen


7)bedroom games and room switching

8)sunrise


9)breakfast 


10) lazing around in the aircon room oblivious to the scorching heat outside, adding random people on fb and spying & gossiping always makes a good sunday afternoon

11) late lunch at siglap and it was the end of sleepover 09!



2nd week of hols
Mon: rebonded my hair.. i was having a self debate about this.. i didnt want to go thru the whole flat hair phase butttt my hair was getting way too unmanageable and thick and poofy no matter how much i layered it would just grow out and get all thick again .. oh but it was pretty fun! cos this time round things got done pretty fast and i didnt have to stay seated for too long! and the last time at NEXT i had 2 people fussing over my hair.. i thot that that was abit dramatic alr this time there were THREE people just to blow my hair.. i was soo tempted to take out my cam and make the smile at the mirror with me! but too bad i didnt know them and it would have been weird


Tues:tried to hide my flat flat hair from the world but ended up having to go to the vet..and i waited for 3 hours ok cos we couldnt get an appt in and casper was having the sniffles.. so thats 3 hrs of my life id never get back.. but i guess it wasnt so bad cos i havent been spending much quality time with casper since exams and post exams activities!


Wed: started the day out with shopping at marina square with ferls and pei then met rubin for life changing steak sandwiches, now no beef steak sandwich would ever satisfy me anymore. thats the problem of tasting the best! and we had 6 pm martinis to go with that too! it was weird cos when we started drinking it was still bright outside and then when we were done it was nightfall alr! haha so we walked to butter and the crowd was just ridiculous, they were such young punks and the queue was even more of a turn off. so suzanne came and we got into a cab and down to zouk we went. another thing thats ridiculous is PHUTURE. "i thot everyone was at butter! what happened!? where did these people come frommm! i want to dance to my rnb why wont these people let me!! hmm this feels like a replay of last week.. and i told myself im never coming here again.. and here i am today.. gahh i never learn my lesson!!"haha those were my thots while i was being shoved in all directions and basically barely moving cos there was no space at all! army boys army boys all overrr! i spotted a guy with zac's kind of hair tho!




Thurs: it was a kind of simple fantastic day, which saw some of us giggling at absolutely nothing at all. started the day early, waking up to make honey joy at ferly's, as usual i was late buttt i was early cos ferly told me to get there at 1230 and pei to come at 1! HOHOHO, i found that pretty smart, funny and mean all at the same time! it got pretty hot and stuffy and the idea of starting to bake got me all lazy! but im happy we got down to it, cos im muching on them now and its ohsogooddd! after that we cooled down in the room while i tried to improve my restaurant on restaurant city.. ughh everything i wanted to make my person or restaurant look nicer i had to pay pay pay, i think its abit depressing and reflecting too much of reality. then we were late but made our way down to PS to meet the working folks for dinner.. ferly was to meet jac and nic while pei and i went to meet louie.. the three of us had our very childish fun where we very annoyingly giggled and quite openly mocked people sitting at the next table (doing magic)- note to guys, as much as we appreciate u preparing those tricks at home before coming out to meet us, magic's not cool, it makes u look stupid and makes us sitting with u feel stupid and wished we bought that tee that said "i'm with stupid" the other day at the mall; we irritated the hell out of sales people; we stood in front of action city just standing there watching this very slow moving 3 min video about this father and son, which was supposed to be meaningful and touching, but we went on to laugh about it the entire ride up the escalator, i bet the sales girl who very passionately promoted the video over the product was not pleased; then we sat at the dessert counter being irritating cos we were plain indecisive, or rather fussy! i didnt eat stuff with peanuts and pei didnt like bananas so after alot of discussing and laughing we left cos there was nothing to order. we were like a bunch of crazy drunks la. we met up with the rest after and caught ghost of girlfriends past! it was a great romantic comedy, it was feel good and relaxing and definitely fitted the whole laughing fit thing louie pei and i had going on and at some points i suddenly felt it was christmas, probably cos of the snow in the movie, and cos the past few days have been so great.
too bad i didnt get a group shot after the show tho! but pei told me on msn that she has a snapshot of it in her heart. AW MUCH? haha


 

 

why is studying never THIS fun huhhhhh!?
no nice old looking libraries, no thick hardcover books, no floor to ceiling wooden shelves
and NO HOT GUY WHO WOULD PIGGY BACK ME IN THE LIBRARY!


-

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.
 

moonriver's my all time favourite oldie!
i just loveeee the lyrics
makes me all fuzzyyyy in the insideeee
2nd comes the way you look tonight
but is that even considered an oldie!?!

Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great.

i realised how much i miss sec sch and jc today
omg the acs intl students were really rubbing valentines day in my face
they were like damn high and all wishing each other and exchanging gifts
and everyone was walking out of school with a bag full of goodies - flowers, balloons etc
and not only that when i went out to holland v, omg even more students, acjc, cjc, sajc, some ijs
they were all in groups having dinner with gifts in tow
and then i grew sad
haha i remember how on we were for vday and all there would hardly be any studying and our tables will be filled with stuff
gosh those were the days
omg i suddenly feel O-L-D

we should bring this tradition back i say, maybe next year!!

 

; and now its too late for you and your white horse to come around

When the bells all ring and the horns all blow
And the couples we know are fondly kissing.
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ooh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's eve

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received

Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?

the weather feels like christmas
i'm playing christmas songs
i'm streaming a christmas show
i just braved thru town in the rain shopping
the house smells like muffins cos i threw some in the toaster
everything's very xmasy...
but its not exactly xmas :(

another 4 months to be exact!

starting from WAYYYY back!

21 MAY
photos from american idol finals night!
we all know how THAT turned out...



28 MAY
these photos marked the END of exams, on our last paper, MACRO
and the end of travelling all the way to EXPO



and my night out with rubin after macro paper
it started REALLY late like 11pm i think cos PEOPLE pangsehh all
but a ball of a time we had at PUMProom, though the music could be less draggy that night
and the band played APOLOGISE which was really good, and all i could think is 'abit archuleta-ish'
& a whole lot of people getting down and dirty on the dancefloor together heh
& discovered my skill for crowd dodging!
& discovered that i dont actually like beer, there was wayy to much and i couldnt finishhh




31 MAY
ferly planned for us 3 to go back to cj for their dance night
but before that alicia and i wanted to accomplish a million things
first stop was to the tuky event 
we bought our havis, (13th one and counting) but then the queue to tuky was soo long we gave it a miss
cos we wanted to check out the apple event at wheelock, cos according to the ads they were practically giving out free ipods! but it was all SUCKY SUCKY marketing la
and it DID NOT HELP that it was raining so heavily
the roads were sooo jammed we took i think like 30 mins to get from heeren to wheelock


oh but we got the chance to take photo with the gay coloured bearrr!


met ferls at cj pac, the dance performance was so-so
some parts were reallly good though, loved the intro!
but what i really like from that night is those signature CJ self made videos
they were hilarious back when i was in CJ and they are still entertaining as hell now



feeeling a little lost without menotti's after the dance,
we headed to BIG O's for light dinner and dessert!




and then after that i exchanged ferly for chris
haha what alicia said was really quote worthy "why would you wanna go stay over at a boy's house when u can hang out with us girlllss!?"
anyway we went to cathay to get rubin and ryan
OMG we were stuck at the parking for DAMN LONGGGG
and the worst part was we couldnt get out kinddd
so we were just waiting and waiting for the barrier to move up 
but we had our own rnb session in the car 
and then when i said some magical words the barrier immediately lifted! HAHA
so the rest of the night was spent at WALAs



and supper at alahzaaar!
their EVERYTHING is good la
but i still like the plain prata at thomson
but whoa their cheese naan and their fried chicken!
  

2 JUNE
TAR met up for ironman but no more tix!
i mean iron man opened howww long ago and its still sold out on a weekday!!?
looks like we werent the only losers around who hasnt watched iron man
so we ended up watching SATC, which i would say is our kind of show
we are STILL making jokes about the show
like COLOURING
like i CURSE THE DAY YOU WERE BORN
and sushi part also

well after watching that show we were craving sushi (go figure, seeing sushi on samanthas bare body has this effect on us) and because we were so hungry we just went into the first jap restaurant we saw which was the one at cine. its soooo bad i didnt even bother remembering the name
i have great difficulty remember jap names anyway
i'm still EEEKED out at the standard of the food from that place mann
like how is it still opennn!?!
i practically didnt eat my unagi
and i can say that the green tea was the best thing there
and that says alot cos i HATE green tea
but the green tea that day helped mask EVERYTHING that tasted bad
from the stale eel to sushi

 

then to starbucks for holiday plans discussion.. nothing much came out of it though alicia was uber planny
we were just like yahh plan urself la. we'll be there... NOTTT!
omg this post is damn funny i feel like i'm talking to myself  : |


3 JUNE

got my new phone earlier in the day with my dad
i changed from blackberry to motorolla to samsung i 780
my dad was disgusted at my indecisiveness cos he had to run off for some meeting
and then samsung i780 just haddd to have a red and a black version
like seriously...
anyway had dimsum lunch with him and the food came slowww
so he had to leave half way and i was left at the table with LONGS of dimsum thingys
i was stuffed to death
and then i was faced with this eating alone thingy
i resorted to talking to alicia on the phone while i took my time and conquered the entire table of dimsum

then met chris for some major shopping
and dinner with the rest of amies @ fish & co

ok so thats part I for now! more to comeeee!

WOW i'm home for the day
much needed rest from the previous week's mad partying
but i must say its been truckloads of fun
its been just a week and a half since i started the hols but with all the outings i feel like i've been on holiday for a month or something!

this week i plan to sleep earlier or at least get home before daybreak
cos this lifestyle is just sinful
and erm i'm BROKE as helll
so DAY activities lined up this week!
(which works out well cos midnight surcharge can be such an asss & i need to get my biological clock back to normal)

1) meet ups with chris before she leaves 
2) rock climbing
3) mid-day breakfast meetup
4) chris's farewell dinner

and i'm considering becoming a huge GOODFELLAS groupie

ok so exams ended a couple of days back
and i've really been enjoying my days of freedom
i think i'm really not cut out for exams mann
those 20 days and i guess even the weeks before the exams started was a torture
i dont think it was that bad last year but i think last years exams werent dragged out for TWENTY-WHOLE-DAYS 
though i'm glad the dreaded exams are over i'm kinda worried about my first paper
but i'll put that aside till sept

haha all that talk and all i wanted was to post this up 
this is really awesome stuff 
(for those who are still hung up over ami,
 and are lost as to what to do with their wed & thurs nights)

i hyperventilated when i saw this
like archuleta in his boxers!
jumping around
ok i'm starting to sound like a paedophilic perv
but watch and the paedophilic perv in you will also be brought out

and now cooks since i know alot of people who like him
but i must say he looks abit obscene cos unlike lil archie, he's actually wearing briefs
why sia? he think he got better goodies to show is it?
hah OK still bitter bout the win

 

so yeah dad's away till next week
and he left behind a YOU'RE DONE WITH EXAMS BOMB for me
a whole list of errands to help him with
see i'm always picking this and that up for them
but then it stopped when exams prep started
and i'm like wow
little did i know they've just been holding everything off till i end
and i just checked 2 things off this morning
i havent slept in since exams ended damn it
TOMORO, TOMORO IT WILL HAPPEN
i will wake up at 3pm and no one will stop me
ok la but i'm happily doing all this cos anything is better than mugging
and i get my hp and ipod when hes back
actually he just stated handphone
grrr i dont know why he's so insistent in getting me a new handphone
and keep ignoring me when i say i neeed an ipod
i mean i NEED an ipod (TOUCH!!) more than a handphone right now
he claims i must wait till my birthday for the ipod
but why whyyy must i wait
i rather wait for the phone
sorry dont mind the whining

time to party like a rockstarrrrr/ guitar hero!
whats left of the week and next week is planned already!
one word: AWESOMEEEEEE!

for this is the LAST WEEKEND i'll be studying
i havent started for the day.. but the thot of this being the last weekend gives me some hope!
and i wanna get a million and 1 things from f21.com
RAWWWRR

obviously america didn't get to read my lj
and didnt get enough votes in for archuleta
i was how depressed today
i didnt get ANY studying done!
sms and phone bills skyrocketed these 2 days
chard and i was on the phone in silence just watching the show this morning
while cook was crowned idol
and our jaws dropped in shock 
and proceeded to rant and curse and swear and complain and whine and demand a recount
for the next 30 mins or so

i'm starting to think i'm a jinx to my favs
they always get to the top 2 but they NEVER EVER win
it started from clay aiken to katherine mcphee to bo bice to blake lewis and now archuleta
ahh we're gonna boycott ami alr la!

oh but today i managed to get out for awhile to catch made of honour
which made a great feel good show
laughed a whole lot!

nvm i shall tell myself that lil david is too good for a show like idol, and feel better about it

had a mini ami party at camp archuleta
k la more like just my family with chard over with pizza and all
can you tell i'm still bitter about not having my ami sleepover 
my mom was all sad cos shes the only cook fan and alicia a fellow cook fan couldnt come cos she had to mug for a paper on thurs
anyway since the last post i did MORE embarressing things
but enough of that, and onto the show 

if you ask me, i think the whole boxing concept to the finale is kinda dumb
especially with the boxing jargon talk clips in between each performance, talk about dragging the hour!!
though archuleta looked mighty cute in that robe and those gloves!
HAH he looked so small in it


and i'm kinda hooked onto cook's dream big, its quite addictive!

Coz if u dont dream big whats the use of dreaming.
If u dont have faith theres nothing worth believing.
It takes one look to make the stars worth reaching for.
So reach out, for something more 

after 3 superb performances, everyone is slowing changing their minds and coming over to archuleta's side
ok maybe thats abit biased butttt...
and as his 2nd song goes.. in this moment no one can take it from him!



anyway i hope america does the right thing and 




don't you think this is quite funny especially with david cook in it too!



cos
 

i better get some sleeppp
waking up at 8 for the finals tomoro!
this is sooo excitessss!
 

ok so i'm in the library hoping to do some studying before i go home in the evening, slump in front of the tv for 6 hours just watching the ami finals over and over
and well anticipation of wanting to know how well my archuleta did made me plug in my ear phones into the school com and play the vid
butttt little did i know the sound was played through the speakers instead of my ear phones (and might i add the speakers are damn powerful!)
some people were looking at me weirdly while archuleta was belting his heart out for the whole sim library to hear while i fumbled at first plugging my earphones out and realising that it did not help then clicking furiously at the mute button
thankfully not many people are in the library at this hour
but because of the fan that i am, i'm gonna try it one more time
nothings gonna come between archuleta and i man
the worse thing that can happen now is that the sound is played through my earphones AND the speakers
and dont realise it till the librarian walks over

my friday through to sunday was fantastic!
havent had so much back to back fun in long awhile!
so after poa paper, rushed home to pack for the amies sleepover and then rushed down to raffles city sushi tei for rubins bday dinner!
i was practically late for everything on friday!
anyway we had a private room, so private i couldn't find it at first
it was good though cos we were talking and laughing so loudly







they've got this synchronized head tilting thing going on!


and track babes shot




the library boys who had many stories to share with the rest of us who havent been to school in the longest time!


RoooBs and his girls



tell me what you think of this




then took a bus down to orchard hotel
OMG i walked and walked and walked from the bus stop
and somemore the route from the busstop to the hotel was so ulufied
and it was suchh a stuffy night
so i finally reached rm 750
and the games started!

we started with BETRAYAL AT HOUSE ON THE HILL,
i honestly had no idea what that game wanted from me
all i know is i threw those dices alot and lost alot
and apparently i seem to belong to the junk room and the graveyard


then we played some game called city..somethinggg i think!!
yeah it was quite fun, building stuff and paying to destroy other people's buildings!
and ferlys reasons behind why she built what she built


then the last game for the night, once upon a time
where we came up with the weirdest stories and characters!

after the last game, we put together our sleeping arrangements and a couple of them wanted to fall asleep alr
and of course we didnt allow them so we had a human pile up!


and at 4, we went out for our 54316942 meal
but we were snacking non stop
so technically we had 1 meal but one that lasted for hours
i had my mcgriddles!
we people watched; andd wow the people that walk into that macs at around that time
INTERESTING!



so mc griddles makes me sleepy, always
and so i started dozing off once we got back to the hotel room
louie too
the people whom we dragged out of the hotel room cos they wanted to sleep were mad cos by then, after the food they were awake
so we stayed awake playing a couple of intellectual games with them until all of us fell asleep



and sat morning, chris and i were the first ones up!
bright and early, we went down to the pool for a swim
more precisely i went for a dip, cos the pool was tooo cold for my liking
and the deck chairs were just toooo comfy



and check out what they have by the pool!
huge chess set!

after that we went hans for brunch and then walked around abit more haivaianas shopping and spent my last bit of cash for the week on a ms selfridge top :( so i'm practically broke

and that was the end of amies hotelstay II
another one in another 3 years? haha by then i think it'll be in another country
the thot of that excites me!

slept through the evening and woke up to go to hv for dinner with mom

sunday afternoon it was lunch with the family
a couple of cousins and uncles/aunties
it was a farewell lunch for nathleen and her mom who was going back to australia 
bahh so sad
we were supposed to go big splash butttt no time no timeeeeee!


after lunch her mom left her with me while she went on to run errands
so we cooled down at home since the sun was blazing hot and then went on to prance around to rihanas songs
guess what shes a rihana fan too and she loves DONT STOP THE MUSIC!
and there was this thing that she did that reminded me of myself when i was young
at dimsum she peeled of the skin of the ha kau ate the prawn inside first and saved the skin for last
and so i asked her why she did that 
cos i used to do that too
and she said it was because the skin is the best part and so she wanted to save the best for the last
i was like OMG i did that tooooo!

but because my house is boring cos i dont have games so we went back out to hv for some ice cream
cold rock
where we talked about her plan to make the tooth fairy go broke
and our thoughts on santa






and then we went to the nearby playground
but she complained why singapore playgrounds soo small
so we took a long walk to a bigger one further down

ever-camera ready!


playground #2







after awhile the sun really tired us out
so we headed back to the pet shop at hv to have a look at rabbits


 
& we ended the day with toy shopping
where she got sam the lion and scott the elephant

shes seriously such a gem, spending time with her makes my day!
& her accent's too cute to handle!

DIE did nothing other than facebooking and uploading photos since friday
and listening to d. archuleta's songs non stop
it'll be archuleta on itunes all the way till the finals baby!
