slept till two plus today. tho i'd woken up thrice in between, checked on the clock before falling back to sleep. that's what happens when you've no motivation to do anything and thus there's no sense of urgency.

terence came to pick me up at 6 but i wasn't ready yet coz he didn't inform me in advance. ended up making him wait about half an hour for me. plus he lost his way here and there when he went to pick tampines people and on the way to town. but for someone who has only gotten his license for two weeks, i must commend him on his driving.

dined at paulaner's where clariss, michelle and vic happened to be working for the night. dinner reservation at 7.30 but we ended up reaching around 8plus9. tried a variety of dishes. some mixed platter. platter of 6 types of sausages. veal cutlet, lamb shank. pork knuckles. sausages pork knuckles and lamb shank are rather good. had two bottles of german sparkling wine.

headed over to indochine as we wanted some live music. Cats in the Cradle are back. haven't been there in quite a bit since the last time with eliza, liyan, shawn and terence. we can't even remember when that was. heard that the band was mia for a while but im glad they are back. acoustics are as good as before. and boy are we glad that they changed their staff. so so much better.

parted with chai and angie after 12. fiona met us after. got home around 2plus. thanks to birthday boy terence who gave us a lift home.

ok. im off. dinner with shawnpaul and alex after.

considering between which fourseasons to apply to. maldives or hongkong. and there's like only 2 and 1 spot respectively.

on top of that. sarah has no motivation to do anything now. uber uber bored.

i shall go stone in front of the tv.

really pissed off at one of the luge supervisor currently. so much so that we're arguing on msn. no really arguing per se. but rather just very bickerish. sarah just becomes rather analsarcastic. omgomgomg. i could just go on. he's just too dense. sometimes. mostimes. ok. don't mind me. we'll be back to normal soon.

thursday was spent shopping around vivo as i had to use up the voucher godma gave me. had it not been for fiona reminding me. i would have completely forgotten it expires on the 26th of april. got shawnpaul's present too.

headed down to tp for preU sem. and someone please remind me to not take 69 from tampines in the afternoon. i could hardly walk past the body of students crowded near the entryway of the overhead bridge. saw eliza and stopped to chat for abit. alex, shawnpaul and me went over to kfc after preU meeting ended for dinner and we hung around till 10. kind of a long time since i went kfc. was stoning pretty much there.

wasn't expecting anything on tv that night but i watched high crimes on channel5 till say 2plus. i think. then was chatting with gavin. for old times sake. all the silly times, conversations and wadnot. but it was good memories right. at least we can still look back and laugh. or smile about them yes? another session 10years from now ok?

lectures today were hmm.. still alright. but i was good to be attending lectures with year1mates chai and angie again. tho' im missing my yr2 buddy ms dnb junie already.

not to forget the familiar faces as we went around tp today. freshies. cya. luge. preU. year2. some db when chai went to the db booth to catch up with the db girls. namely mitchell cheryl. guanzuo. sharlene. rachel randal. pika. nicole.

and my dear audrey has passed her driving test. and to think she was fretting about in the morning. jittery and all. mascara works wonders aye?

i swear caine and i have no fate to meet. coz each time we arrange to meet up. something else always crops up. and each time i'll break into a case of sporadic bad flu.

headed to stb with chai and angie in the afternoon for some talk for le cordon bleu. walked to town town for sarah wanted to see if the F21 in wisma has the dress in s. but alas....

sip talk at ten tomorrow. then there's the preU recording to do.

and to angie, audrey, chai, eliza, liyan, shawn, terence. dinner's confirmed at paulaner's at 730. terence is treating us to drinks. but i think only one .3or.5L of munich lager or munich dark per person. or we might drink him broke. and terence can't drink. coz he's driving. so we can drink his share.

and happy birthday shawnpaul.

back to work after such a long time. feels kinda good to be back at luge with the crappy bunch.

but work today was boring. partly coz the business was slow. with no hols and it being a weekday. but i'm already begining to miss working there. after so long with a 4 5 working day. i'll have to adjust to a 2 day work week. with the rest of it for school.

reached luge today. entered the pantry to a few shocked faces. mostly coz my name wasn't in the list of staff for the day. then tiong and rudy pulled a most stupid prank on me. and i got fooled. tricking me into believing that it was thursday instead of wednesday. and silly me actually racked my brains to think which day it was today. what i did yesterday. what did i do the day before. retracing the week. from sunday onwards. and i even took out my hp to check the date. i even walked out of the pantry to look for zal to ask her for the date. -.-

and today at luge. ian and val got locked into the helmet bin for a while. while sarah got herself dragged out into the pouring rain for a good 10seconds by dear bel. who herself also got wet the same way. the bunch at luge. -sighs-


junie just officially ps-ed me after we arranged on tuesday for a tanning session tomorrow. and the rest of my usual tanning buddies are not free. so either sarah goes tanning at sentosa or southaven by herself. or remain fairer for quite a bit more.

many random thoughts. maybe cause today was pouring in the evening. but i don't really recall what were they already.

something i saw today reminded me of my younger times. my sister and i. we used to wear raincoats and wellington boots whenever it rained.


and i have no idea why i thought i like liked someone in the first place. all the while waiting to see what would happen. not that i did anything to encourage it. coz sarah never does that. well. maybe she did. once. but that's another story.

anyhows. after quite some time. apparently nothing was ever gonna happen. i tried to convince myself that i don't. really. like. him. besides. he already has someone else in mind. it wasn't really that hard to get over. so maybe im not really that into him. yes?

no matters. sarah has short attraction span. as always. =)

don't ask.

i swear i still can't revert back to my singapore mode.

i still have the urge to refer to the mrt as mtr.
i still have the tendency to stand on the right side of the escalator.
i keep expecting to see the rail map light up like those in hk.
and i think if i see liyan. i'll ask her no gaidanzai for you today?

well at least i do remember to tap my ezlink when i get off the bus here.

first day of school was well.... alright. save for the fact i was a little late. coz i stopped to chat with joanna and liping. but lecture didn't really start on time either. on top of that. i seriously cannot get use to the tonnes of people at tp. and all the unfamiliar faces. in sentosa, everyone you saw on campus was a friend of a friend. or your own friend. no matter if they were close or not. but it was good to see familiar faces amongst the sea of strangers.

headed to the sports hall with the girls and waited for chai to be done with her badminton workout. and that girl has finally quit db. which is a real pity. both me and drey were counting on her to complete it for us. both me and drey gave it up due to tough training and timetabling and schedule. but chai stuck around. for almost 2 years. but i guess studies and family come first.

went to look for ms quah and ms choi for adddrop. but apparently we didn't get the cds choices we wanted. it must be a sign. seeing ms choi brought back fond memories of onehedgeouthrees. it just felt like yesterday that we were in year1. freshface. freshblood. and when ms choi took us for intht. time sure passes fast.

on a sidenote. angie and chai were lucky enough to have each other in the same class. alas. i wasn't so lucky.

headed off to further education advising with chai. angie joined us after too. and the info we got weren't exactly useful. i mean i could have told you that myself. but anyhows. and we decided to go take korean language lessons together. since we're gonna be quite free with one less sub. chai was supposed to have started but was short on cash. which was just as well. we both could go find our monies. then we'll have our lessons together. -beams-

had to head over to godma's to search for my housekey and luge locker keys. i wasn't so worried about the house key. but rather how i was gonna work the next day if i can't find my locker keys.

hung around abit and met shawnpaul to pass him the tapes and case which i forgot to return that saturday. accompanied him for dinner. tho' most time i was reading my book. well i just didn't think it'd be nice for me to watch u eat right shawn =P

having company for half the ride home made the ride seem shorter. i almost hadn't realise that we had reached his stop already.

so i guess it wasn't too bad for the first day of school aye?

i'll get used to it.

it's officially the first day of school but i've cleared it for an extra day of hols for myself.

nothing much to update on my holiday in hongkong. not so much that it was uneventful but rather the whole entry will be so long that i myself would fall asleep reading it afterwards.

but the past two weeks have been good. great in fact. with no need for work nor study. both me and liyan agreed that it must be every girls' dream to eat sleep and shop all day. save for the worry of growing fat with all the good food. that girl was even worried she'd forget how to work after our one week of fun shopping in hk.

last day of work on easter sunday before i went on a hiatus. got mom and dad to help me send over my camp stuff and luggage over to godma's. and that settled the shipping of my clothes and all.

attended mass with fiok then headed to jec for some shopping. was looking through one of the shops for the my long sought for perfumes. but found none. was desperate for one since i've finished up my ralph lauren style for almost a month. was quite taken by the scent of escada's pacific paradise but figured that it'd be too common. decided on a new scent by love passport. had yet to hear of this brand but it was good. my kind of a fruity fragrance. the other two from love passport also looks promising. from the combination of fragrances. but i've yet to have a wiff of them.

but for now, this will be sarah's scent for a bit.

the queue at luge was never ending that we hardly had time to run to the washroom for a leak. much less our deserve 10minutes break. no surprises there. being a ph and a sunday at it.

journeyed to godma's where it's closer to tp. could hardly sleep that night. half excited for fow half persuading and dissuading shawnboo to attend fow. texted reuben at 2plus3 to borrow a red t from him. and i think it woke him from his slp. sorry!! and i've yet to return it to him.

first day was alright. started out super hyped but dwindled to about 50percent with the lack of response from the freshies. got a lashing from our fas. and then came a few of our freshies who stayed back to complete the flag. got quite a few of us watery eyed. touched. but it spurred us on to perform much much better the next day.

cheered myself hoarse the next day. and the day after next. and someone handsigned 'i adore you' to me but i can't and shan't name names here. a little bit of discretion from me. face saving perhaps. however way you look at it.

almost teared again on the last day of fow. or did i? not that it matters.

my regret last year was for not joining fo at all.
my regret for this year was for not making it to foc.
i swear i'll do the whole fo next year.

i could hardly count the times on both my hands during workshop i wanted to cancel on my trip to hk. but it was a wanted to. but i definitely could not do it. among the many reasons other than monetary costs of airfare i'd have to forego. all the what ifs. but in life there can be no what ifs. or we'd all be leading miserable lifes. so now i can only contend myself with stories from ayton gls, pictures and the ngohiong blog dunnowho created.

and i did not manage to take a shot with cheryl. this freshie whom i feel like a big sister to. hope she'll do well in design. not that any other course would be easier to complete.

back to godma's for the night. repacked my stuff into godma's much bigger luggage. which was a bad mistake. but more about that later.

got to bed around 2plus. left house a lil after 5. absentmindedly left my hp at godma's. but decided that since i couldn't use it in hk i didn't bother to go back for it.

budget air travel has always been fine with me. even with the lesser leg room coz sarah has well.. shorter legs. but sleep on that flight was almost unbearable. godnoeswhy.

i guess i shall breeze through my whole 8 days there. for memories sake.

my companion for the next 8days.

queue at immigrations was super long that aunt amelia got worried and called my dad about it. but otherwise we did manage to meet up without any other delays. headed to tsim sha tsui to meet tungling and then dropped off our luggages at aunt's office. and mind you. the luggage was not very heavy per se but it sure was super bulky.

had a can of beer for the 1st two nights there to help reduce the heatiness from camp. and get my voice back to some sort of a semblence other then the gruff tone of a guy. abstained from chilli for both days too.

visited liyan's aunts at chai wan which was like where pasir ris is to boon lay. how coincidental it must seem to have both our aunts staying at opposide ends of the country just as me in the west and liyan residing in the east.

met tungling and then headed down to wan chai and causeway bay for more shopping. and they had one of the best egg waffle thingy. and everyday liyan would bug to get at least one of it. it's like an addiction. like fries. or potato chips. the rest we tried could not match up to the one at wan chai.

walked through a market where we got fascinated by a bluegreen fish. and markets in hk were vastly different. the catches were actually still alive and not over ice. stopped to chat with this fishmonger lady who commented that the three of us looked like from japan, korea and hongkong. tungling, me and liyan respectively. that got us so amused for the rest of the day.

lunch with aunt donna and her family. at a restaurant which you could say was the highest i've ever been to. 60odd storeys. and the bill for the 7 of us came up to less than 400hkd. is that like cheap or is that cheap.

to wan chai again for some marketlike stall shopping. took the tram along to central. quaint transport it was. would have taken loadsa pictures during my trip there but i didn't want to appear touristy. shopped somewhere nearer to home at tsuen wan where we discovered the thrill of hunting for cheap tshirts.

more neighbourhood shopping the next day. found a perfume shop tended by this old uncle. and he certainly knew his perfumes well. but sadly they did not stock up on the out of production perfumes. and i wasn't certain i would be back at that area. and there goes my 3 cannotbefoundanywhere else perfumes.

dropped our purchases at home and then headed to the supposedly late night district area at lan kwai fong. met up with tungling, corrine, joyce and their friend. settled down at the hongkong brewery something for a beer and peanuts. had to ask around for directions to the bus home. and we did alot of that while we were there. had to dare each other to do that too. spotting preys to ask for directions.


shopped at mongkok and ladies street on monday. tried hunting for the manga collectibles shop tungling mentioned only to reach the shopping arcade and find that the shop is no longer there. left home with two bags. came home with three.

and did i mention that my contact lenses officially tore on the 2nd day i was there. thus sarah was blind as a bat. almost. and liyan kindly became my eyes for the rest of the trip.

arranged for more tseun wan and mongkok shopping the next day with tungling. and that silly girl overslept.

decided to tour more at tsim sha tsui before having dinner with liyan's family on wednesday night. and dinner only started at 9pm. at the other side of hongkong. you'd probably can guess what time we got home. shopped abit at the shopping centre near her aunt's place. where i was mistaken for a jap. met up with liyan's family there. the whole 10 of us dined at a restaurant nearby. and liyan felt a mild tinge of incest. coz she thought her cousin was cute. couldn't have blame her tho coz i thought so too myself.

more tsuen wan and mongkok shopping. it's as though we could never have enough of these shopping areas. parted with tungling who went to take the junk. and me and liyan continued our last minute shopping and laopobing buying. met aunt amelia for dinner at some japanese restaurant at tsuen wan. my attempts to pay for dinner were futile.

that night we sat at home packing our onethousandandone purchases. and that's why we realised that although my luggage could put two million things but it'd be too heavy to handle. but we did manage somehow. with loads of help from aunt amelia no less. our baggages exceed the maximum but we didn't have to pay for excess baggage. lucky us. and to think i was still fretting on how to solve the problem.

and there you have it. my long grandmother story of my trip to hk. and mind you i have yet to add in all the food we've eaten. there were mixed comments on whether i've grown fatter or not. mom and shawnboo said i looked like i lost weight. but someone else in ayton said i grew fatter. can't remember who tho.. not that i care much aniways.

and for those who expected souvenirs. im sorry to say sarah doesn't buy souvenirs. bookmarks and keychains are just silly. and surely we already have one too many.

and meet our room for the last 8 days.
no doubt small but just enough.
cluttered dressing table dominated by my stuff.
our walking space in the room.
and then there's our cupboard fill with our purchases.

our poor attempts at capturing the clouds.
but don't they look oh so delectable.

and then i tried discreetly to capture the cramp aircraft.
it happened that we were on flight with the same crew.

back in singapore, met the one immigration officer i was familiar with and stopped by for quick his and byes. liyan was fretting about her coolness factor diminishing when she found out that her whole family had come to pick her up. she was afraid they'd all start waving to her when we were at the baggage claim. like when her sister got back from oz i think. got picked up by godma soon after. unloaded my stuff. new clothes promptly dumped into one of the cupboards to be settled only when i start school.

got home only to find that fiona was staying at sarah's for the night. so much for me bringing back stuff i bought for her on top of all the food stuff i had to bring back.

back to tp the next day to help out for the filming. though i didn't feel very useful. save for dumping prickly heat powder on alex and jaisee. both of whom are convinced that i enjoy the task immensely. and threatened to repay me back in my own coin sometime soon. left around 4plus for sentosa with shawn.

stopped by at luge to let the supervisors know of my new schedule. heard from kit that rab and ysabel had gotten together in the two weeks of my absense. couldn't say i was surprise. coz i figured it was a sooner or later kinda thing. new faces at ticketing too. loads to adjust and more people to befriend i fear.

and did i mention my timetable's like superb. but that's only because i don't have a cds yet. still considering if i should take a 4th. or am i even allowed to. and which to take. since i've already taken french, psycho and jap. nothing else seems to appeal to me. and there's my airport duty which i've yet to slot in.

and so i have a four day school week.
hurrays for hedgeouthreers.
our knack for knowing how to rearrange our schedules since yr1.

and after working out, i could have a 6day work week at luge if i'd wanted to. well, at least before projects set in. not that i'm really gonna do a 6day at luge.

dinnered at vivo. was suppose to have takeaways and dine at the open area of vivo with everyone else. but the few of us scampered off to the kopitiam at basement for our comfortable dinner with tables and chairs. headed back to find everyone in a phototaking cum cheering frenzy.

the chaogeng gang who dinnered away.

aytons.

this girl still treats me like a little gurl.

emo-ed abit intitally to company reuben. but then my runnynose sneezing cum coughs started to come back and i wasn't really in any mood to talk. i swear i'll never touch powder again. not even if i were paid a million bucks. ok maybe i would. that would suffice another trip to hongkong and anywhere else. but u get my drift. no more powders for me.

lazed at home that sunday. visited the library. and then another day of lazing on monday when people like shawnboo's in school. hehs. sorry! couldn't help it.

ok. hopefully i've covered everything i need. what little photos i have of hk will be up when i get to godma's house again. liyan.. be patient ok. not like it's alot anyways. =P

and to my nygurls. let me know when u guys wanna meet up. i don't think u'd be done with exams yet this weekend right. but anyhows, i'm already booked for dinner on the 29th and 30th. but do let me know earlier ok? see you guys soon. loves.

and lora. im sorry i couldn't meet up with you over the weekend. after your papers aight?

ok. that's about it. im glad this exhausting entry is finally done.

phew.

im back im back.

but too lazy to update.

so i guess i'll allow a lil more dust to gather in the meantime.

let's see.

another entry before i go mia for a while.

dinner at surf and turf wasn't too bad. but didn't find it value for money. but we had fun eating and talking. and i swear i felt like a pig that day coz godma, vicky and fiona ate like birds. or mouse. not counting kelvin of coz. for he's a guy.

suppose to go drinking on wed with junie, shermaine and serene that wednesday. but the arrangements were all so messed up that the few of us at luge had an impromptu drinking session at st james. left at about 2 when lora's friend picked me up. was also half seh by then. came home and got on the msn with farah and shawnboowhomoos. only remembered half the conversations. gave some wierd advice to shawn too.

woke up a tad too late and didn't make it for good friday's mass. instead headed to jec for brunch with fiok. spent time catching up. running errands.

thanks god for double pay. if not, i wonder which luge crew in the right mind would work. arrived at 2plus and kit and riz have yet to have their dinner. heard the horrors of the luge queue at the top. while at the bottom, the ticket queue never ended. but we all got through it.

day off on saturday was not meant for myself. went back to tp to help for packing but was lazy and thus arrived two hours late. did little. caught up much thanks to people like yy, reuben, laihock, liping, shawn, denise etc. even tho' i had missed out on almost all of the empire outings due to work and preU, they filled me in on their latest updates and jokes. hardly felt i missed out on alot.

hung around tm for dinner and nonsensical suanning session before heading home for more comp and bag packing.

mia-ing the whole two weeks people. sms me if you need to look for sarah.

im off.

work. camp. hk.

i feel like changing this blogskin. something red black and white perhaps? but am too lazy to view thru the millions available. much less apply it. oh wells. i guess we'll be seeing this black and purple combo for quite a bit more.

did my 1st night luge shift at the top tics on saturday. wasn't that bad in the sense that it wasn't really as lonely coz i had guests coming in on and off . but when they come in a few groups at both counters, i swear that for certain types of guests, i just wanna forget all about customer service.

and luging down at night's really funny. it reminds myme of the boat passing through haw par villa. with the blue, green, purple lights.

anyway, i have no idea why recently i keep typing me as my. irritates the hell outta me when i re-read my stuff.

met the girls earlier in the day to put together a personalised present for liquan. didn't do much save for buying lunch. just less than 20mins into it, the security guard came up and asked if we were doing our homework. -.- and smart usme just looked at him, looked at the table laid with colour paper, cardboard, scissors, glue, glass pebbles, fabric paint, looked at him again and then the table. u get the idea..

and finally i said: nooo.. we're not doing our homework.
i could roll my eyes. almost.

celebration's for lq's 21st went rather well. considering that the four of us didn't know the rest of her friends. mainly coz it was still a rather small group of us on that boat.

food was good.
company was great.
experience. even better.

and i played triedtoplay mahjong. for the first time ever in my life. i kid you not.with ali's micromini set of mahjong tiles. and i still don't get the hang of it. but not like it matters.

and

THANK YOU LIQUAN.

i think it's like a one in a million chance/experience for us la. i mean how often do you go on a yatch and spend like half a day doing nothing in particular. well unless you know someone who owns a yacht. and mind you, although i've been on sentosa studying and working for like a year already, i've yet to even go to that area of sentosa.

anyhows, got forced to go into the water even i wasn't intending to. it was either the captain threw me overboard or i go down myself. i'd prefer the latter. thank you very much. had the best workout in like ages. even though it was just short swim back to the yatch from the dinghy which floated away. coz u see, sarah hasn't swam nor jogged in say more than a year. every since i quit on dragonboat.

pictures of the our time on the yatchyatch up another time. when the camera peeps have uploaded their milllion megabytes worth of photos and send to everyone at the snail speed. it might very well be next year already. but i'll wait patiently. coz i know people like alicia's really busy. -pats- it'll soon be over. and you can celebrate my belated birthday with me in peace. and manda's forever busy with something.

here's one with wenxian for starters.

headed to luge with intentions to fill up my timesheet. but it was already removed by danny. i just hopes he calculates my hours right. got us some rides too. and we finally got to do the luge together. t'was a pity liquan wasn't with us. but then again, all five of us couldn't have gone on the skyride together anyhows.

shopped around abit at vivo with wenxian. it's been quite sometime since i did that. felt really great to shop with her for it's been ages. saw loads which i wanted to get but i'm trying my hardest not to spend money on shopping.

coz i wanna buy loads in hongkong. and sarah has no sponsors for this trip. other than my lodging at my aunt's. for sarah's parents aren't rich. and sarah's gonna be 21 at the end of the month and should be paying for my own stuff (not that i haven't been). and i'm working. so yea..

white vest and oversized tote from espirit.
THE dress from forever 21.
expensive looking bag from riverisland.
comfy heels too.

and wenxian..

u probably should get that white wallet.
or i might just want it too.

perhaps i'll spot something similar and cheaper in hongkong.

and while i'm at it.
i'll hunt for a necklace similar to this.
or does anyone know where to get something like this?
lost the one godma gave to me eons ago.

this elusive puma bag which i have been hunting for.
since a year ago.
from singapore to hongkong and back to singapore.

oh wells. i do hope i have better luck this time round.

today's meetup with preU group was really good. coz i haven't seen these guys for like what? two weeks? feeling pretty awful now coz i haven't been contributing. (this is for the benefit of people like shawn paul who's probably gonna read this in a bit. lol) but you guys are so nice la. to cover up for me. i'm so looking forward to the residential prog. i'm glad i decided to cancel my spa massage appointment today. and the photoshoot for nightLUGE.

so many things to do. so little time. i shouldn't even be blogging but packing for camp and my trip.

trying to play around with the schedule to fit the pre camp activities on saturday. but i'm rostered to work from 0930 to 1830.

was looking through some of the old photos in my flickr while looking for old ugly photos of me in sec school. nostaligic i must say. the jc times. the best friends times. the poly times. but alas no secondary school times.

aights. i do suppose it's long enough to keep you people entertained till i get back from hongkong.

and lastly. all personal shopping services u'll be wanting from me (be it hk or dfs) tagmsnemailsms me. i'll give you my account number to transfer the monies over yea. descriptions and locations. specific ones please. i may have a hongkonger dad but i don't know hongkong well.

oh and before i forget. there's an appointment with godma, vicky, fiok and kelv. to mourncelebrate his going into the army on vicky's birthday.surf and turf it is. hope it's good.

i'm off.

i'm so freaking lazy. i can't stand myself sometimes.
