history lecture is getting boring
so i decided to blog on my fortune yet again...

Sunday morning....
I started off at JP, editting my sociology essay with Marco then buying a present for my brother's birthday
yawns.
i was exhausted
dragging myself around..
so i decided to get myself a cup of "teh"at Ya Kun Kaya Toast after that at lot 1
so in my groggy state...
i didn't even realise that i left my wallet on the table while paying

you guys are probably going to shoot me now
me too
i can't believe at that period of time, i actually lost BOTH my beloved wallet and handphone
sighs
i'm so blur
always getting into trouble

anyway i didnt' realise that i didn't have my wallet until monday
i was searching for it high and low
in my hostel
back at home
until i decided to go back to lot 1 to check things up
i was terribly frustrated at myself for always being such a blurhead.
and a broke blurhead at that!!!
i went back to Ya Kun and asked the lady if she saw a wallet
" WHY YOU ONLY COME TODAY...!!!!!" the women shrieked to me in Chinese..
" i just realised today.. -_-" i said sheepishly

sighs
i'm a lucky girl.

getting very frustrated with **** ****. he's getting on my nerves
sighs. i was rude to him tt day
gosh. i should be bettter to my friends...

the most amazing thing just happened

I've always believed I'm a very lucky girl..
Things always went the right way for me...
and although i've met with many little obstacles on the way... everything was still turned out ok for me =)
until friday.
friday the 13th of October..
i was at orchard with yihan...
elated that i finally got a chance to meet her and go shopping with her...
we ended up at isetan and i was trying to find a dress to wear to marco's P.O.P ceremony...
after several rounds of fitting, we decided to head somewhere for a drink...
and that's when i realised my phone wasn't in my backpocket
alarm bells rang violently in my head
my beloved chocolate phone wasn't around...
i searched desperately in my bag
but it was clear---it wasn't there.
whine.
i went up immediately, certain that i dropped it only moments ago...
but it wasn't in the fitting room
i was frantic
yihanwas tyring to calm me down
so i looked around that floor like a mad women, combing the ground and asking every saleslady whether they saw my new phone..
sighs..ending up making a report instead
all hopes seemed gone when yihan tried calling my number but ended up with a pathetic "please record your message after ...."
sighs
i was totally devastated
thinking how i would explain everything to my parents.
i was devastated by how my laptop crashed the other time...and how my phone got lost...
i was somehow convinced my luck had run out... and it kinda made me wanna cry.
so in desperation i sent a message using yihan's phone saying " i'm the owner of the phone and this phone is a very important gift to me. so please return it to me, i'm willing to compensate you in cash..."
sighs. no reply.
i was quite traumatised that marco won't be out this weekend to tell me what to do and solve my shit...but i still messaged him anyway. to my surprise, he actually didn't get confined afterall due to some miracle.
I was so thankful..i went straight to him.
He calmed me down...saying any problem that can be solved by money, isn't a problem..
so after much persuading, he convinced me to tell my parents about it..
so ...
i called my dad...

"papa i lost my phone!!!it dropped out of my jean's pocket at isetan :("

of all responses... he actually said...

"oh my god...got any videos or photos tt cannot be circulated not????"
-_-

"NO LAH PAPA!!!!! EVERYTHING'S DECENT!!!"

"orh..hehe"

anyway i cut off the line and my boyfriend managed to get me a spare samsung phone to use at the moment while daddy went to get my free replacement SIM card.
i was trying to control my anger...
silently hoping that if i don't curse the person if i don't scold the person...the person might return it to me...
i was telling myself maybe the person who picked it up is very poor and needed money to survive or something..
sighs..
so saturday survived with me still having to rush a sociology paper, which was given on friday night, despite my lousy mood...

lucky marco was there to go through all the thick bulk of books...and to edit my essay for me. once yesterday and once today ..i was simply too tired after rushing that research paper for that night... *thankful* i was starting to fill that i wasn't so "suay" afterall...
i had a nice boyfriend...and i finished my termpaper...

so i reached home and told papa i finished my termpaper and he went..
"orh..okay..let's have a celebration..."
he went into the room and took out a LG chocolate phone..
i thought he bought one for me because it was without the phone wrap and i was like "THANK YOU PAPA!!!!! OH MY GOD..."
then he told me:
" NOT NEW LAH! can you believe the person took the useless SIM card, took away the phone wrap and returned your phone?? its a miracle"
and i was like stunned !!!!
gosh. i'm so thankful. I'm so thankful.
although i lost all my numbers and nice photos...
although my nice phone wrap's gone..
but my phone's HOME!!!

The more I think of it..the more i'm convinced i'm a very blessed woman.
*thankful*

=) Pictures on the halloweeeen charity party which lala invited us to go.. it was pretty fun lah...loved the food...and the comical looking ghosts!!!

Really enjoyed myself talking and laughing with cheeks, dad and mao after the party at coffee bean. The conversation was great... and it was also then that i realised i really miss them so much.. especially after being in university. Its not everyday that you can get a group of people whom click with you so well, and know you inside out, sit down together over a cup of ice chocolate and start crapping, bitching and getting nostalgic about old times *awww*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The gang of us went to ulu Party World KTV at Chinatown before heading over to MAF in school later that day. i still insist that its pretty sleazy looking..grins...ahhhh....but i had sooo much fun singing frigging old tv drama series songs...acting cute for rainie yang's songs and screaming for FIR's "Get High"=D as usual, we took loads of erm.. weird photos =D

This year's MAF was kinda weird to me...

Maybe its because of the haze. PSI was at an all time high of 150 that night. EW.... the haze's kinda disturbing when you can't see things in front of you clearly... everyone was trying to be high during community singing... but i guess i loved the mass dance at the end of everything..especially when i haven't been "brutally flung around" by Mao for a long time. i was totally drenched in sweat and not a hair on my head was in place... haha =D but i do really miss HC =)

We ended up playing sparklers and candles at the stairs. WE TOTALLY MADE THE PSI ROCKET HIGH !!! anyway Jiurong's fireworks didn't work!!!! so the last photo was taken while everyone was laughing at the failed attempt...the rocket didn't even leave the ground. grins.


i love my boyfriend...

i was so inspired by some TV show in which the girl proposed to the guy...

so i dated my boyfriend out on a date, pretending to be the guy for once... it was pretty cool...

but ew...i realised being a guy is not fun... you have to think where to bring the girl for the date...whether its romantic not....you have to foot the bill...you have to send the girl home ...ahhh... i like being a girl so so much suddenly! just be pretty, smell nice, and get pampered like a princess... *dreamys..*

the midterm break is over in a flash
i guess its been nice having a week's break from reading long draggy notes and dragging myself up to get to early morning tutorials..
but ah..its now time to face reality.
i survived history test..psychology test and malay compo test..
Psychology teachers are damn smart...they randomly distributed SIX versions of the question paper so we can't copy! so the lecturers and teachers would just gather around the front of the hall and snigger and i don't know what..... i even saw an angmoh teacher flirt with a pretty teacher... gosh. so much drama and laughter happening in the hall..they can't blame me if i fail! :P haha..

and i decided i miss zhiqi..
the test was said to be marked upon a negative marking scheme...
one question wrong, they take away 1/4 a mark away..
so smart me counted and decided that "ah...okay what..i can "ti-gam"... 4 mistakes they only take away 1 mark..."
so i tigam tigam tigam tigam and ti-gam-ed everything and was feeling so proud of myself because i thought i had erm "strategised" everything =)
-_-
until some guy around me was screaming at his friend for ti-gam-ing everything..
" 4 mistakes...they take away the 4 marks then they penalise you one more mark leh!!! thats FIVE MARKS!!! how can u ti-gam so many when you never study!!!!!"
eh...
see...
i miss zhiqi...i can't think figures without her.. :P

a cockroach was "passing by" our study benches last night and made many ladies stand on the benches..shreiking in disgust..
i am a lady =)

oh ya. sociology lecture taught me that marriages would be happier if:

1. the couple has no children
2. they share they housework together
3 .they have good sex
4. the wife works
5. divorce laws are present

I'm beginning to love sociology lectures...they are so controversial and politically incorrect especially when they start bitching about politics and our govt... *lalalallalalalalallalallaa

YAYS MAF'S COMING!

doing everything else EXCEPT to start mugging

Oh OH ...
I haven't been studying much lately! I'm planning to start after this blog post..haha =P got loads of homework and tests to mug for...
I was trying to be a tai tai yesterday! I woke up late and had nothing to do...but i didn't feel like dressing up and getting my bum out of the house...so i took a long bubble bath..lighted some candles....played some music and enjoyed myself soaking in the bath, blowing bubbles, doing facial and playing with different hair styles while shampoo-ing. Even resorted to sliding around in the bathtub for fun. I WANT TO BE A TAI TAI...but i think indulging in such guilty pleasures once in a while for now is good enough :) I think i'm either too stressed or I miss my childhood too much ...hiak...I'm doing more and more silly things and saying more and more silly things these days...

Look how dead i was....i'm such a lazy unglam woman....

I was ultra high after swimming..and ultra hungry..and i started being mad again... I wonder how my friends can stand having me around... Oh ya..i think my favourite pose nowadays is to act silly with the chopsticks... :X lalalalala...

MALAY FIELDTRIP

I'm learning Malay now! its partly for fun...and i thought it would be interesting too to understand the commands of the NS pple !

Oh..my super pretty Malay teacher and her decent looking Chinese husband brought us to eat at Geylang Serai yesterday! it was super crowded..like Chinatown during Chinese New Year.. the street market was terribly long and every vendor was promoting at the top of their voices *shudders*

We had dinner at some deserted back alley... had to order our dishes and drinks in Malay ...everyone was quite flustered because the shop uncle spoke so quickly we didn't know what to say... but i had fun ! ( okay i think now everything except studying is fun..)

Its 830 am now..

Part of me wants to go back to sleep

but the other more irritating side of me keeps nagging that i gotta start mugging for my psychology test....ew....

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

i went out with him today. its been quite a while since we've been out.---IMF duties took away all his free time, and perhaps thats why i'm so much more appreciative of this little outing.

We had a nice breakfast at bukit batok before embarking on our journey to macritchie reservoir
made myself happy with a huge cup of ice cold bundung=)

We decided to be more adventurous today and embarked on a long walk from the reservoir bukit timah hill..gosh. it was a long walk...and my shoes almost killed me...haven't done so much exercise for a long time. Interblock games are not a quarter as bad because either the opponent is too strong and we die a quick death or we kill them quickly. its not half as fun as the captainball sessions with A12...

But we made it in the end! after almost four hours! i'm so proud of myself. and him too,since he managed to pull and coax a totally unmotivated and lazy woman up and down those slopes. loved the monkeys which scrambled towards their mummy, the dogs that didn't bother to bark but not the flies that hovered around to scare me...But the conversation and bitching was great. we also found great enjoyment in picking out lyrics that jaychou didn't sing clearly in his new album and yea, i had a great time in the "wilderness" =P

-----------------------------------------------------

I once had this fear of having nothing to say one day with someone close to me. I'll always think what would i do if i had nothing to say to zhiqi or lala one day, and the thought of it sounds totally scary. would relationships fade like that?

--------------------------------------------

Mum just told me that day that a fishmonger near her shop died of a heart attack in the market that morning and died on the spot. His wife wasn't even there to be with him and yea, he probably didn't even know he was going to die. Its so scary how life can be so vulnerable... but the ironic part is people know life is vulnerable, they just tend to forget it after a while....

back home

TRAUMATIC!

its been a traumatic week. especially thursday.
i woke up fresh and early for psychology tutorial that day.
feeling all perked up because i heard there would be games and demonstrations, a far cry from the normal intellectual discussions of other tutorials that requires stacks and stacks of readings and involving me getting stressed out over the heated arguments over stuff that i don't really comprehend. All my smart ass classmates....they ask so many irrelevant and out of the world questions that drag my tutorials on and on and on... it gets really tiring sometimes..

okay. anyway. that wasn't the point i wanted to make.
So that morning, I went into the class, laid my laptop down on the table....and my classmate spun over and swung her hand over a lil' too hard, smacked the table, which swung the other way round and yea...CRASH.
my beloved laptop crashed onto the floor with a huge bang. a huge bang which shattered my heart...
" EWWwwww..oohhh....eeeee" went my classmates.
i just stared blankly
not knowing what to do.
profuse apologies. commotion ended. the lesson had to continue.
so i had to pick my cracked laptop up and try to concentrate.
i rushed out of the room right after the lesson. stoned at a bench, assessing the damage.
i went to YIH computer centre. the enginners looked at my laptop and shook their heads upon examining the damage...
" AIYOH.....how come CRASH UNTIL LIKE THATT......."
my heart sank..
the enginner told me it was too serious to be fixed here.
so i had to go down to some fujitsu computer centre to fix it
there was a long queue and i was hugging my beloved laptop and praying it wont cost too much or they won't ask me to get a new one because my motherboard cracked or something..
long wait.
the engineer there made me feel better though. he said it would take a few days. and he'll need to replace both the top and bottom covers because both cracked... and yea.its gonna cost slightly above 300 bucks
i was feeling quite heartbroken over the money that's going to go down the drain, but my boyfriend always tells me " any problem that money can solve is not a problem" so yea...i'm feeling much better. and i'm probably not going to make my classmate pay. she's worried sick and she didn't do it on purpose so yea, i'm just going to let this go..
ah..what a week
i hope everything bad goes away from me now..

mid-term break's here!
its quite a timely break i suppose
because i'm just getting quite sick of all the late nights and chim texts =D
oh well..gonna start working hard after the weekend.
I'm off to exercise with marco tomorrow and we're gonna visit the new bishan library!
can't wait..!

















what lovely colours...bandung always makes my day better... =)

i'm blogging at midnight again

=)

ah! had a long day of lectures today..
i'm so tired!

i think i'm going nuts from studying. I checked my Sociology's module lesson plan and realised i had to read chapter 11 about gender and sexuality so i took my textbook and flipped to chapter 11.. it turned out to be on stress so i flipped forward and read chapter 10 which was on sexuality. after spending hours reading it..i was about to email the teachers telling them it was chapter 10 and not 11 when i looked up on my book shelf and saw...

MY SOCIOLOGY TEXTBOOK!

ohmygosh. i spend hours reading my psychology textbook instead! how typical.
haha. i'm going crazy.

was talking to some of my hostel mates during dinner just now...and they were telling me they didn't wanna continue staying here because they felt they didn't belong..
in fact, they didn't like nus too..cos they felt it provided no sense of belonging or identity, which made it no different from NTU.
shrugs. i really don't know.
seniors staying here are largely DAO
they don't smile at you when you smile at them
they disappear during inteblock games
and when they do come, they don't talk to freshies, just play, win and leave.
luckily for me, i love my neighbours..

i love ginnelle who thinks i can't speak chinese
i love waiteng who eats dinner with me and laughs at my jokes
i love clara who pulls me down to every ibg game
i love wenjing who smiles at me and compliments me on my passable chinese!
i love angie and zhaoxin too..for saying hi to me on the walkways and complimenting my room.

ooh! here's pictures of my room!

nice nice?
i spent a weekend doing it up
largely cheap stuff like coloured papter..free postcards, and cheapo stuff from ikea or stuff i got from home, mum and dad!

i haven finished putting up the photographs on the window blinds ..havent' got the time to get down and do it :X lazy

This is my study table..got huge shelves but i don't but anything much in them. the bottom right hand one is my FOOD SUPPLY, which includes everything from chocolates to different flavoured maggi mee, different beverages, biscuits, sweets and cereals! =D DON'T tell me i'll get fat...please.....then there are the folders i made myself and the drawers i got from ikea!

certainly made my room cosy eh? =)

=D

aiya..someone just blasted hokkien songs downstairs *sings along * hehe.

20/9/06

Current Location: in.my.hostel*

Current Mood: sleepy

I'M BORED!
Malay test just went past...
History test just just went past...
And I just just just finished reading my statistics textbook..
And since its midnight i cannot bug people or blast Jay Chou's music because my gung-ho neighbour will kill me...
so i decided to create this blog instead..
I've been missing loads of people lately...people whom I once cared and still care about ...
I miss A12 peeps..I miss da clique..the ever-so-often bitching sessions..cake and tea outings at secret recipe (or isit sweet recipe..aiya..whatever)..KBOX and loads of stuff that we used to do together..
BUT I miss the moments at the class bench every morning the most.I miss coming to school too early..I miss switching on the lights at the class benchI miss seeing Kok, YM and cheeks smiling at me every morning.I miss seeing cheek's red jacket. I miss saying hi to everyone who streams in.I miss bitching and laughing loudly with everyone. Ah..those days..

What have i been up to lately?School's okay i guess.I've been getting used to being a student again..and for now, i'm still pretty muggish, because assignments and tests appear so often i HAVE to mug.. weirdly my body has been pretty kind to me.. so many late nights and i'm still surviving.. now i know what LATE NIGHTS really mean.. but its pretty heartwarming when you are studying till almost 2 in the morning but there are many others in the Central Forum all studying as well..You don't feel so lousy and alone in battle! And there are alot to see around there when you're bored from the studying.. Couples feeding each other, people wearing the most rag-like clothes i've ever seen, girls sleeping unglamorously on the benches and occassionally you get a guy cracking lame jokes a tad too loudly.

=D ah..life's still beautiful! =Dno matter how bad a day you're having.. the sky is still a beautiful blue, the grass a vibrant green, and flowers still bloom...everythings just so beautiful......but how many people would actually notice...My relationship with him is still going strong. Guess i've grown up. I'm not that girl who craves ever-attention and sms-s anymore =) Its the knowing that love exists that's matters.
