in this technology-savvy world, it's good to be pushed into the rural areas once in a while to sort out your thoughts and to take a breather from the hustles and bustles of singapore life.
well, i did so. or did i?
this cny trip back to malaysia was good. visited more relatives than usual, thus it wasn't so boring afterall. and my uncle enlighted me a lot on my future too. it was fruitful, except for the flies and insects flying around.
and tomorrow, it's back to work. i hate it.
i'm thinking of going into isolationsoon. i'm still clinging on to this thought, for nothing interests me anymore now. i have to find another reason in life for me to live on. i have to find another direction in life.
yesterday went town to shop with my sister. got a top. yeas. nowadays the tops that i'm getting are so not me anymore. guess it's more or less under the influence of friends. especially yilin!
today went for tuition followed by a night time shopping at sheng siong for food! yays. this is one hell of a great shopping trip. some crazy shopping where you just grab everything you want. and for once, even if my parents grumble at the amount of tidbits we take, they'll still pay for it. simply because, it is chinese new year!
chinese new year is coming. my, how fast. and soon it'll be gone.
Life is simply interesting because there is no way we can repeat it.
it's actually a translation from chinese, so there might be a loss of meaning somewhere. but it's still quite meaningful and true i think. gee.

today at work was bad. felt sick in the morning. or rather, it was pure fatigue. lunchtime wasn't really good. but food does perk me up a teensy bit. sometimes i just like to be quiet. so quiet so much so that no one even realises my presence. yea, tell me, this is not me. i'm just not myself these days.
on a happier note, i went shopping at bugis today. again. my monetary resources are depleting so fast. help. i bought (1,2,3,4,5,6) yea, 6 earrings, and (1,2) yea,2 watches. hahs. somehow, i just love to have excess stuffs, just for backup purpose. my sister on the other hand, had a very fruitful trip. a bag + sneakers + cd + sports bra. 3 out of the 4 things she bought was handy to me. the only one that i couldn't share it with her is.. (yea, figure it out yourself). =p that's what sisters are for, helping each other spend money and sharing things!
i just suddenly felt so glad to have known jason. hahahas.
went to meet jiesung after work again. yes, again. we've been meeting up much recently. and there's got to be more of it coming up. the timeslots for elizabeth town wasn't suitable so we decided for In Her Shoes.cameron diaz is really hot. *sizzles* no dudes in the show. but pretty much of the babe. and the killer legs. Like a good poem, the story blindsides us with the turn it takes right at the end. a show that i would recommend. yeas.
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet) i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
General Appearance The Jack Russell Terrier was developed in the south of England in the 1800's as a white terrier to work European red fox both above and below ground. The terrier was named for the Reverend John Russell, whose terriers trailed hounds and bolted foxes from dens so the hunt could ride on. To function as a working terrier, he must possess certain characteristics: a ready attitude, alert and confident; balance in height and length; medium in size and bone, suggesting strength and endurance. Important to breed type is a natural appearance: harsh, weatherproof coat with a compact construction and clean silhouette. The coat is broken or smooth. He has a small, flexible chest to enable him to pursue his quarry underground and sufficient length of leg to follow the hounds. Old scars and injuries, the result of honorable work or accident, should not be allowed to prejudice a terrier's chance in the show ring, unless they interfere with movement or utility for work or breeding.
Characteristics Bold and friendly. Athletic and clever. At work he is a game hunter, tenacious and courageous. At home he is playful, exuberant and overwhelmingly affectionate. He is an independent and energetic terrier and requires his due portion of attention. He should not be quarrelsome. Shyness should not be confused with submissiveness. Submissiveness is not a fault.
well, apparently if no one wants to adopt it, it will be sent off to SPCA. this is just too cruel.
someone accept it please!!
please leave behind your contact number at the comments bar if you're interested. you're very much appreciated!
i met siew hui after work. seekie called shortly later to say that she'll be going down to east coast to blade too. yay. in the end i rented a blade and the guards were like so damn smelly. i still have the smell now. yucks. seekie looks so cute when she's blading. wahahas. but thanks a lot seek! for holding on to me for so long. and did i mention, i went down to east coast park to learn blading today.FUN! although i pick up things quite slowly, but somehow i like the falling down part although it was very embarassing. and we've also decided to meet up every saturday to blade. yay! i love my friends. a big THANK YOU to siewhui also. for being there right beside me and holding fingers with me for like 100min out of the 120min i bladed. yilin was a fast learner, picked up quite a lot in an hour. but at least i have a companion with me for learning. :) i'm thinking of getting blades now. someone stop me please, i know it's a moment of folly again.
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
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.
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?
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.
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.
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

You are a very serious person. You tend to be quiet and well behaved, and you don't have a great deal of self-confidence. You prefer to be alone rather than with friends and that could make you a little less interesting to certain types of guys. You are very attractive in an individual kind of way, and this means it can take people a little while to get to like you.
You don't really care about other people's feelings. You do things the way you want and usually think only about yourself. You are easy-going and love to have fun, but you can be irresponsible as well. You are not keen on serious discussions because they can make you remember that life isn't always about parties.
You strictly follow rules, and you expect other people to be the same as well. People can get tired of you easily, as you can make them feel a little guilty about themselves. You always make decisions on your own, and can be dismissive of other people's advice. You like to be the leader in groups, but can forget to be concerned about the people you are with.
Your peers think of you as a fun person, but sometimes you can be a little irresponsible. You can be somewhat childish, and can try to ignore the fact that you will one day need to really grow up and be a mature adult! Perhaps you could start reading good books; they might help you look at the world in a different light. You do want to be taken seriously, right?
Your boyfriend believes that you are a strong and independent person. Your confidence and cheerfulness make you an attractive person to be around, but sometimes you need to pay more attention to what other people, including your boyfriend, are thinking.

You desire a love that will last forever. You are quite serious about finding this type of love, and that's why you think carefully about the men that you meet before deciding whether you could really love them. You don't just develop a crush on someone overnight: you look at a person's personality and other aspects of their life before deciding to form an attachment. If a guy doesn't meet your expectations, you would rather be alone. Your love has to be perfect. Be careful though, you could be missing out on some worthy relationships because your standards are so high.
and more//
Your kindness is your charm - you are also gentle and sweet. Everybody likes to be around people with your personality. Like a psychologist, people like to talk to you to discuss their problems because you are proper and discrete, as well as confident. You look mature and people respect you. People with this kind of character are few and far between.
and more//
You value your friendships: 85%
You love your friends very much - so much so that it's actually quite a worry. You may not be able to cope very well when you do lose somebody's friendship. You are a very sensitive and fragile person, and are therefore likely to get upset easily. You care for your friends and are willing to do anything that they ask you to do. Sometimes this can make your friends think that you are a bit of a nuisance. Nevertheless, people do really love you because your highest priority is your friends.
and more//
When it comes to love, you fall in love very quickly and easily.
You give 50% to your relationship and expect to receive 50% in return.
If there is a problem in your relationship, you are able to confront it in an optimistic way and full of hope. You want to work it out right away, all by yourself.
You need lots of reassurance in your relationship. You'd like to see your loved one every day, if possible.
You accept your loved one the way they are. You don't expect him or her to change for you.
When you love someone, you don't tend to stay in love for a long time.
i wouldn't say which ones are true. there ARE some that are very true. well, that's up to you to figure that out. ;)
met jiesung up yesterday. initially we wanted to catch Elizebeth Town, but there weren't any screenings at causeway point, plus i was an hour late to meeting her. hees. so in the end we just went for dinner at Food Junction (u-mian rocks). after that, we shopped around aimlessly. but nevertheless, we did a lot of updating on each other's life. oh. and she is darn sweet ok. she gave me a flower! she's always sweet! meeting up with her is always enjoyable! we'll be meeting again next week! *whees*
after that i rushed down to choa chu kang. caught a couple there. hahas. we had planned to go down to kel's house to give him a surprise but in the end, he wasn't at home so we had to go down to Lot 1 to find him. gave him a big surprise. think he was very shocked and happy. hahas. great planning by us. :))
oh. and in case your haven't noticed, photos for my new year holidays have been partially up.
and as i was scanning through my folders, i found these really nice neoprints done up by great scanning by mich. i supposed i haven't posted them up before, so there you go.

and the latest update about my job. i'm now a *drum rolls*
DENTAL SURGERY ASSISTANT
*claps claps*
wahahahas. the headline is rather daunting. hehs. but it is actually a position that requires a lot of contact with blood. yea. scary but it is a very good insight to dentistry. i am learning a lot about that these days. i'm loving it.
i seriously dislike people to keep nagging at me. tsks.
and i shall move on to blog now.
this holiday was simply spent so meaningfully and awesome.
`new year eve(31.12.2005) we had a clique outing at marina square to celebrate jul's birthday in advance. full attendance. great! we chatted up a lot and laughed our heads off as usual. hahs. i totally love hanging out with this girls man. food at Changing Appetites was good.
after that i went to meet yimin, kel, ang, shengjie, zhen hong and weiyang for night cycling. i was supposed to meet them around 9 but was totally delayed for 1 plus hour because all the restaurants were packed like sardines and queues were stretching out to as long as 4metres. as a result, they took a double seat bike and met me up at Eunos mrt station. i was supposed to take the double bike with kel but i simple refused to. kel cannot be trusted. hahas. so instead, yimin went over to share the bike with kel. tee hee hee. and because of the huge delay caused by me, we had to speed down to esplanade as kelvin wanted to see the fireworks badly. wells, we managed to reach on the dot. *cheers* the fireworks were like WOW. the 'live' thing is actually more fascinating than what is usually shown on television.
and then, while on our way back to east coast, kel rode over something and punctured the tyres. like, hahas. that's it. but in the end, they took turns to jog there and i must really praise kel's stamina and sheng jie's skills. and then we had supper at geylang? got a surprise cake for ang because it was his birthday. i came up with it ok.and i suppose after dinner everyone was high, especially ang and sj. haha. they were cycling crazily in the middle of the road like nobody's business. hilarious. then we cycled back to east coast to return the bikes and headed home.
`new year day(01.01.2006) i worked at suntec atrium. 1.5 rate what. hehs. after work, i decided to rush down to meet friends to club. Ministry of Sound. i was late for meeting yilin for around 2 hours! felt so bad. i reached at around 11 and seek, hui zi, yilin, gimson and yiheng were already there. they bought alcohol from 7-11 because drinks inside were expensive. wells, i had to finish one bottle on my own but as usual, i could not make it, so yilin "helped" me instead. after we went in, and not soon after, seek was drunk. like, how fast?? hahas. but i think everyone was super high except yilin this time. (surprisingly) even i could feel myself a bit sei. lols. but it was superbly fun this time round. maybe we were slightly 'higher' thus we were able to dance freely and we even got up to the podium. yiheng danced on it for like an hour or so. and he got grinded. haha. all in all, it was a great experience because all of us enjoyed it thoroughly. yea? unfortunately, i got rashes all over the next day. it was a really bad case of rashes that was all over my body. grr. it lasted for two days. i am indeed allergic to alcohol. sighs.
`post new year(02.01.2006) due to the clubbing the night before, i woke up late. i was supposed to meet them at 8.30a.m but i only woke up at 8.50a.m after they called me. and i was like, "eh. why you all call and wake me up. go yourself lah." hahas. i believed all of them got a shock. hehs.but still, i went down to meet them at around 9 plus. getting in to malaysia was rather smooth in the morning. yea. reached malaysia at around 11. i went to eat the potugese chicken and egg tart! it's such a gastronomic experience. oh, and did i mention i was their tour guide for the day? hahas. i rocks. (all of them agreed on that). after lunch, we split up to shop. i went with yimin while ang, kel and zhen hong went together. i bought a denim skirt at 70ringgit. cheap! i actually chanced upon a denim mickey shorts with the number 28 on it. but it costs 130ringgit. like how expensive lahs. but it is really really very very nice! i swear i'm going to get it the next time i go down to malaysia if it is still there! plus plus i'm going to get Levi's jeans. it's definitely cheaper down there. and puma sneakers! cheap too. i want to get everything! but my pay is only coming next week. sighs. ok, back to the trip. after shopping around at city square, i brought them down to plaza pelangi. there wasn't really anything much to shop around there but i still managed to get another two tops at a really low price. cheap! hahs.they guys bought a lot of things too. especially ang, who bought clothes for his relief teaching job. hahas. after that, we walked cum cabbed down to leisure mall. hahas. i brought them to walk around malaysia and they were simply too satisfied with my tour guiding skills. yea? we arcaded before catching a movie. The Chinese Tall Story. it was the only movie available. and it totally sucks man. don't even know what the hell it was talking about. me and yimin slept through the show and the seat was so OMG. and after the show, i wanted to bring them over to a hawker centre which sells alot of good foods. but i guess we were utterly suay. the hawker was under renovation and it was actually the first day. so in the end we settled on a bak kut teh shop nearby. ordered a few dishes and they tasted not too bad. then after eating, we rushed back down to city square because kel wanted to get a pair of shoes. fortunately. we could made it in time. and then, we went back. i brought them to walk across the causeway stretching 1.6km long. hahas. they simply loved walking around with me. hees. then, we parted ways at woodlands.
i just so love hanging out with my friends. especially them. they just made my holiday so lovely. louves.
