It's my 21st Birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
Haha... Ok so i have become a full-fledged adult. By right, I ought to have some 'gan chu'. But somehow, the feeling doesn't seem to have sank in. I seem to be more in a daze. The very sore throat only makes things worse. Imagine paying the Doc a visit on your bday. *sigh* Being 20 juz yest and turning 21 today doesn't mean anything significance to me. Perhaps I will feel it only in the long-run. Yu Fen is right : I can watch RA already. Lol...
Many thanks to all my frenz who remembered my bday, esp Pri sch frenz like Shi Yin, Matt and YS. There's Vincent frm JJC (whom i believe is in SIM now)as well. Thanks ppl, for remembering throughout the years w/o fail. I'm juz so overwhelmed with their meaningful wishes which came thru SMS this morn. It reminds me once again of the true frenz that i have.
B4 I forget, I wanna take this opportunity to thank JL as well. Thanks for the Isetan vouchers (not forgettting tat I'm a Mango Freak) and more importantly for sending me home cos i wanna go to the doc.
My bro gave the whole family a treat on Sun at Ajisen. My parents got me a necklace.
Thanks B for the puma watch that I like. And special thanks to tat special someone who got me my fav mango cake and Guess bag. Shall elaborate more and upload picz after my dinner tonite...

Sick again...
It wasn't long ago when i juz recovered from all the cough, sore throat (infection) etc. Now i'm sick all over again. Was actually looking fwd to the weekend cos it seems like such a long wait for my Language test to be over and submitted the Genes essay today. *sigh*So sickening. Felt the throat acting up this afternoon already. Didn't feel better after my nap this evening. In fact, I woke up feeling feverish and all. Right now, I juz feel both hot and cold. The thought of so many undone tutorials juz puts me off even more. I got a presentation next Tue too. Been staying up every nite for the past week. I need tons of rest :( Overloaded man...
Thanks for the cheese cake (my cousin). And all the best for your PSLE result, Mun Yee...

Hari Raya
Was at marine parade doing my gene essay on Mon. (Dun ask y i went so far. Intended to go Vivo but was too crowded). Damn shagged by the time i finish.
Had din at CV...
Riz invited me & Carisse to his house on Tue for Hari Raya celebration. It was such a feast. Thanks for being a fantastic host, Riz. Here are the pics to prove wat i mean:
Main Course
Desserts
Unique decor in basement which i call 'dungeon'. Wahaha...
Teeny-weeny cat. It was so tiny...
Our fabulous host
Their hilarious poses. Lol...
This is one house only lor. And my camera can't even take in the entire thing. Saw 3 cars in the basement - Celica, BMW and another can't rem. Rich neighbourhood man...
Carisse carrying a gun. We got no idea whether it's fake or real...
P/S *I met my Prince*: I'm not the wild gal that u think i am. I think we really need to get to know each other better...

Puking sucks
Vivo City
Look at the crowd --> Jam-packed
Only bought a green eyeshadow from The Face Shop
Went Vivo City with my family yest then clubbing at nite. Practically puked my gut out. Vinson and Sam even got limes for me to chew on. But tat effect was only temp. Met Yan Rou aka Zeta, my poly mate there. She's promoting Jim Bean. Thanks for coming to fetch me and send me home, S. Had to pull over many times to let me vomit too...
P/S: XX is my best company now...

Food for Thought
Had an interesting Language lecture this morn. We were discussing abt taboos in certain countries or societies. Shall share some of the funny quotes here.- We cannot say that the King is having diarrhea --> Royal flush
- Ever wonder why there's no such thing as 'genderist' but there's 'sexist' although both 'sex and 'gender' mean the same thing? Ppl juz tend to avoid the word 'sex' cos it's deem to be negative.
- The word 'nice' came from 'idiot'. Try saying 'no science' a few times, faster each time. Lol...
- 'Husband' came frm the word house-bound. And Wife usually refers to a woman who's married. But are all mid-wivies married?
- Banana : Used to describe someone who's ethnically Chinese but with Western outlook. Yellow outside but white inside. Get it?
- So u should be able to guess wat's Oreo rite? Someone who's black but behaves like a White.
Now let's talk abt the 4-letter word. This is not talked abt in lecture of cos but it juz prompts me to think further as my lecturer was telling us abt metaphors and idioms. U noe how u always scold ppl 'Fuck you'? (Yes, i'm actually referring to particular someone). Fuck is somehow associated to sexual activity. It would relates to the ultimate pleasure that u derived from the act. (Shalln't elaborate on the big 'O'). U guys get wat i mean. Therefore, by scolding someone "Fuck U", wouldn't it somehow be a blessing (in disguise)? Somewat, u r wishing the person loads of sexual pleasure. Lol...
P/S: Learning how to look at things at different light right now. First step towards optimistism...

Too many coincidences
I think God is juz playing a big fat joke on me. I haven't seen him for abt half a year already. Yet it has to let me see him (& his car) twice within a week. With his car loaded with SIA gals some more. Do we really happen to go same places all the time? It was at Cineleisure and Changi V. Then, he came to view me on Friendster to see how pathetic my life is right now. This is not the worst.I was going home today, on bus 96 with Yu Fen. And so happened, Ken & Elaine's wedding car gotta turn out at Clementi junction. The 2-door red Getz is plainly unmistakable and upon seeing Steph juz confirms it all. It wouldn't be so bad if i didn't noe he (another person) was one of the bestman. I juz felt a pang. (Sorry Yu fen if i seemed to be tuned out after tat). This is great. Juz great. Blame it on fate...
Y must i constantly be reminded when all i'm trying to do is to let go? Tell me how am I supposed get over things when God juz loves pulling tricks on me. I feel like such a fool. I wish i could stop thinking and push everything to the back of my mind. Pls dun play such pranks on me anymore. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, God.
Joey was asking me regarding r/s today while we were at the 'backyard' during lecture break. I juz told her everything is normal. All my frenz r sick of hearing abt it already, so am i sick of talking abt it. Even Eugene can predict wat i'm up to. So i think acting normal, even putting on a brave front is the best way out. Probably it might even convince myself that everything is alright? (Yah rite. Who am I kidding?) Arrghh...
I think S'pore is far too small. If there's an opportunity to work overseas in future, I would definitely consider. In the past, I juz wanna stay in S'pore and be close to my family. Right now, I think I need a really long break away frm familiar places and things. Perhaps I should apply for a student exchange program as well or try for an internship which will bring me abroad?
Anyway, I got myself a pair of cloth-studded ear rings and a Giorgio Armani sling bag (it's genuine, mind u) for my bro at the Biz Bazaar:
Flowery...
I think I should be his fashion consultant...
Here's wat I had emailed the irritating the Econ tutor:
And his reply:
WTF??? Wat's the point of chatting sia? It won't change the way things are anyway. For those who dunno me well, I'm very vocal when it comes to issues like these...

Munchie Monkey
Had lunch at Munchie Monkey of YIH (FYI: For those who r not frm NUS, this place is part of the campus) today. Yes, it's been a very postponed lunch date with Cheng Wei. (Sorry for not attending ur play. I'm afraid i'll fall alseep there instead. I'm a music-idiot). We have said that we wanted to go there ages ago. Marcus, Shawn and Ken joined us for lunch too. Shawn is having days off so came over to crash my lecture since he's so free. Haha...The food there is great and cheap. I had spagh Cabonara, my fav. It costs around $7 only, compared to those restaurants outside which are selling at more than $10. I sure wouldn't mind returning to lunch there.
Got to know 2 new frenz today. They are Adrian and Ken. CW is surprised that Adrian, being a health-conscious vegetarian, smokes. Haha... I guess nothing is impossible in this world bah.
Cheng Wei and Me
Ken (who is Marcus's, as well as, Shawn's fren frm Arts Fac) & Shawn
Marcus's dazed and 'yayapapaya' looks.
Conclusion: He's not photogenic. Wahaha...
He's become my squabbling partner in NUS. Always suan each other...
Didn't manage to snap a photo b4 we started eating. Only caught a pic of Shawn's finished crayfish pasta (i think).
Chilling out at Mac... Gosh my eye bags are getting worse! I need sleep!!!
The best I could do is to be optimistic. If God could give me something, I would want a gift that could erase memories...

Temple
This pic is taken the other day when we dropped by the temple for my granny's death anniversary. Yet another cute niece --> She's only 9 months' old and quite a bundle already. Look at her, riding on her dad's (my cousin) shoulders and pulling his hair. I noe she looks like a boy but is a gal actually. I had a rough time carrying her too. Babies nowadays are very energetic and I seem to be lagging behind.
Then, here comes the tigress! Didn't snap a pic of her. She's my eldest aunt-in-law. She entered and started saying at her top of her lungs tat if we had the interest to ferry my eldest uncle to the temple, then we would have called her. The 'we' in question refers to my family.
Wat happens is tat my dad had called them few days b4 to offer a ride. My uncle, being senile, said he'll call us when he's going. On the day itself, we did not rec any call and were too busy preparing the offerings stuffs to call them. It was all a misunderstanding as my mom told her. My dad had apologised too (though all of us think tat he made no mistake). But she said NO. We (all the rest of the relatives) had planned it all along and purposely played her out (this links bk to my granny's funeral 12 years ago). It has to do with something like she's the eldest so should offer the incense first. Blah, blah, blah...
I juz think tat it is all so stupid. Her thinking is juz too far-fetched. Trust her to come up with something so strategically. I'm like 'Hello? It's not an obligation tat we give u a ride. We are being kind by offering to do so'. Everyone started to disperse and leave after tat. (Scared of the tigress. Lol...) I think she's juz being too petty and xiao xin yan. Wanted to juz ask her to shut up man. Making hell of a scene there. An uncle who collect the burnt incense even asked whether we wanna call the police. Lol... I'm glad there aren't many outsiders around. Otherwise, I would be so embarrassed, juz wanna dig a hole and hide.
Family disputes are always so cumbersome and ugly. I think i have seen a fair share so far. Doubt we are going to visit her during Chinese New Year next year...

Shopaholic
Went shopping with Dian yest. We conquered Bugis, Suntec and Marina Sq. Didn't buy much at Bugis St. Only got a pair of rose ear rings and helped B buy the ipod silicon cover. Had dinner at Fish & Co. at Suntec basement. Yummy... Last had it at Cheng Wei's bday. Some guy abruptly approached me at Topshop. He asked me whether i was currently modelling for any agency. I said no and he cont to ask whether i am interested in modelling. I said no again and walked away to look for Dian. He followed me and said tat he's not trying to pick me up or something. Then he said it was modelling for Urban, the small section which comes with Straits Times. I juz turned him down flatly by saying i'm not interested in modelling.
Guess wat? Lo and Behold! I finally found the Zara dress I have been searching for so long. The selection at MS Zara was surprisingly neat and huge. The sales gal even managed to get a new piece for me. I'm so happy; it feels like miracle. See...
I also got the latest gold edition lip gloss/tints from Bobbi Brown. The colors are so nice, right?

100th post
The MA (managerial accounting) result is out already. So efficient, I juz took the test yest. I got A+, pretty happy abt it. My best test for this sem so far. I noe it doesn't mean much cos finals are gonna be much tougher. But well 30% is better than nothing. Econs was only slightly better than average. My most feared got to be Gene. Dun wanna see the result...Been thinking these few days whether i have chosen the wrong course. Seems like my strongest subject so far is accounting. Nv disappoint me before. Perhaps i should have concentrate purely on accounting. Hmmm... Kinda late for this now cos stupid NUS only started accounting like beginning of this year. *sigh* Really wish tat we didn't have to take non-core like science and arts mods. I would be so glad juz to concentrate on business mods alone. Those irritating non-core are gonna pull my CAP down real hard this sem.
Attended language lect this morn with Matt. I tot who was the early bird to msg me at 8am in the morn. He's one of my pri sch frenz and managed to get into contact again only last Fri when he spotted me in Biz canteen. We chatted abt our common frenz. He also knew Jac & Yvonne who are frm my poly and frm his secondary.
Marcus was saying the other day tat i should set up some kind of xiao lau puo (mistress) club. I have no idea y i keep attracting older men. First, it was my lecturer during poly. I'm not naming who (doing HIM a favor). Juz this mon, my tutor in NUS (frm 2 sems ago) also asked me out for dinner. Both are attached...
Time to resume my tutorials already. Was halfway through MS and MA tutorial yest. Wanna faster complete so i can enjoy my weekend...

Fatigue
I'm dead meat after yest's Genes Test. Seriously, I wun be surprised if i got less than 10 marks. Heck care my language project already. Dun wish to find out how my econs went either. Stayed up for many late nites to study for the stupid tests. Lack of sleep man... Despite the long hours of sleep last nite, it still wasn't sufficient. *yawn*++ MarryMango at 6:40 PM.

More mooncakes
I have the snow-skin mooncakes! The top ones are frm B's mom. The bottom ones are from my aunt. Both are hand-made. Yummy! I'm getting fat again though.
Damn sad yest. My language test got the lowest. Hate the stupid deduction system. E.g U got 2 correct and 2 wrong --> 0 marks. Today's MS wasn't tat bad i think. 1 of the questions came out in the TB while another one was in tutorial. But there were still some mistakes like equality signs and my theory wasn't tat zai.
