So how do you measure up?

Go try this silly test. Haha...

why people WANT TO get drunk

1) They are having fun

2) They want to throw up

3) They want to disgust those around them

4) They want to waste money buying the drinks, downing them, then throwing them up

5) They think it's cool to be wasted

6) It's great to make a mess of yourself!

7) They think little/nothing of making those around them upset

8) It's fun making those who care, worried

9) An excuse to not know what's going on...not even when they hug the girls next to them repeatedly

10) Best of all? They just want to be drunk

New Year's Eve Party Photos

Gonna do a short post here today. Managed to put together a quick montage of shots, and these were taken...erm, heh.. abit paiseh to say even...earlier this year, during the new year's eve party...wahahaha! Yah I know what a slacker I am. Alright here goes:

确定，你就是我的唯一

Wandering like a leaf upon the wind

I have been searching for someone

Holding out for a love to shake my soul

Heaven or nothing

Then you walked into my life

In a blaze of light

I've never wanted someone more

You are the one I've waited for

Light of my life

You're the fire in my heart

When I'm lost

I know I'll feel you burning in the dark

You're the light of my life

Every star in the sky

Shines more brightly when you're at my side

And dreaming, I feel you next to me

But no, I'm not dreaming

Cause I'm drowning in your kiss

I die in your arms

And when I hear you call my name

Baby, it's like I'm born again

Your love's a lantern in the rain

Bringing me home time and again

Burning like an eternal flame

Light of my life

You're the beat of my heart

Like stars in the sky

Only you can take me through

You're the only one who makes it right

Coz only you can set fire to my night

You - the light of my life

Waiting for Time to Pass

Hmm..dunno why, just suddenly have the urge to do an entry now. Kinda strange, coz I'm like at work now loh. Haha. Guess maybe it's coz the day is draggy and long, taking forever to end. -.- After some loooong wait, finally it's 5.15pm now. Today is one of those days when you look at the clock, it's 3pm; you do a whole load of things, take another look at the clock, it's 3.10pm. -.-''

I was in a pissed mood just now...and aggravated by the fact that some frens just chose the right moment to step on my toes. Eg, Adrian. He super one kind...Ok, he started out of concern, no doubt. He msned me, asking me how's my day, and my reply was "busy, draggy, can't wait for it to end..so not very good mood". And you know what that idiot (yes Adrian you are an idiot) had to say? "Why? Period coming?" Can someone, anyone, please enlighten me why issit that guys have to assume it's our menses causing hormonal inbalance, and thereby wrecking havoc in our moods? Ok fine, granted, that is a scientific-fact, I'm not arguing against that. What I have a grouse with is, why do you have to assume that as the cause of the first inkling of trouble?

I mean, when guys fly into a non-explicable rage, nobody goes "Why? Hormonal inbalance?" or "Raging hormones? Didn't get what you want?" -.- I know, that sounds kinda crude. But crap. That's what I mean loh. I'm not trying to suggest anything feministic here...but doesn't it sound kinda discriminatory or smthg? I dunno..I can't put a finger on it..just doesn't feel good abt it. Felt kinda mis-understood or misplaced. Sigh. Anyways. Adrian u pig.

Hmm...let's see, some good news =) Our dear Isabel may very well soon be on her way to snaggin her new guy loh. Hee. This fellow is her friend whom she's known for a long time. Kinda like my situation. =) They've known each other for coming to 10 years (me and J coming to 11 yrs..hee). I'm happy for her. I believe (just as she does) that she will be happier with this guy. We have our reasons, and we happen to concur =) Oh he happens to be a J too. Heh. Well, give them a couple of months, they'll probably get hitched (bf-gf) very soon. Who knows, we may even go shopping for V-day prezzie together next year =D Wishing her the best. =) She'll be graduating from her school soon..Means once school's out, she'll revert back to her normal work hours..and lunch sessions with her will resume soon *grin*

Argh! Look! Look! This is what I mean loh...in the midst of my doing work and blogging, albeit short entry...it's only 5.40pm now!! Time absolutely craaaaaawwwwls!!! I hate today. I hate now.

Tomorrow!

And thus marks my fourth entry for this month. How pathetic. Oh well. Can't say much, except no time, no mood. Think after this entry, the nx one will come like at least one or two weeks later.

I'm not in much bitching mood lately. Heh..that's not to say I do all bitching entries only ok. My bro left for HK with his gf this morning, holiday loh...so good loh. Hmpt...my last 4-day break was in Apr...*sulk* But hey! *big smiles* My dear is coming back tomoro from the States! Yayy! Can't wait. But well...as I've said previously, it will be a short-lived one week before he goes back to Sydney for his last term. No, six days, to be precise. I ought to be appreciative that it's gonna be the last half year now. But still, you know five/six months are still hard to get over. I'm praying hard that nothing will thwart my Sept plans to go over. With that Sept break, it can at least break the monotony of having to wait the whole half-year before we meet. At least it's a two-month wait first, then another three-month or so. Sigh. I'm so worried there would be assignments or projects. Actually, there's bound to be! So what then?! Argh...I'm not gonna think about that yet. Hmpt. Dun wanna spoil his homecoming first. We'll deal with that when we come to it.


I didn't know his flight was scheduled to touch down at midday. He said "afternoon", and I thought it was like 4 or 5 in the afternoon, to say the least. So I thought, ok, 4 or 5, he'll reach home abt 6, let him unpack and stuff, I'll be able to meet him after work for dinner or smthg. Perfect! But nooo...sigh. Now I'm kinda wishing I had taken half-day tomr! He's scheduled to touch down like 11+, so I presumed he'll be home by 12+, 1. And if I were on half day, I will knock off at 1, which then is just perfect arrangement. =( Now I've gotta spend the remaining hrs at work. Oh well...I guess it's good that he'll go home and unpack and catch a nap or smthg before I meet him in the evening loh. Normally things would be rather chaotic once you come back from overseas rite. I'm trying to convince myself that it's better I stay out of the warzone first.


Well, I've applied for leave on Thurs and Fri, so that I can spend more time with him before he goes back. THis month somehow just zooms by. Initially I wanted to apply Tues too. Actually, I'm kinda kicking myself now that I didn't apply for Tues in the beginning. Now may just be too late. I was desperately trying to clear my work last week, knowing that I'll b on leave this week, and was hoping that I can throw in the Tues as well...but that was real hard. Now, leave on Tues seems more and more out-of-reach. ='(


Oh, I went to cover an event on Fri nite, and it was erm, funny...interesting to say the least. Well, it was interesting to find myself the subject of the videographer's & photographer's target...Hee. I was there to cover the event as a rep from the newsletter section, and they had actually engaged another videographer and photographer too. Perhaps they were too bored, I dunno. But it's kinda funny when the photographer tried to steal shots in the midst of shooting the Minister. It was flattering, I must say. Haha...Ok, I don't think he's hao-se lah...Probably just cheeky, for the fun of it. Although there were definitely chee-ko-peks there at the event. Hmpt. Tried to get fresh, omg. Yuck. Act blur and walk away is the best lesson I've learnt since my three years in this line. But I'd say, time to learn and store new tricks man.


I've been actively feeding non-stop on this gummy "Starburst". Sophia describes it as the most yummilicious gummies on earth. Somehow, the chewiness is just nice. Sweet yes, but strangely addictive. Even my boss, who doesn't have a penchant for sweet stuff, couldn't keep her hands off it. Heh. Her famous words: Get this thing away from me! Hahaha...It's available in Spore. I saw it selling at Taka, but super ex man, like more than half the price it was being sold in Australia. My dear J brought it back for me =D


I've recently ported my online photos from yahoo over to flickr. As we all know, yahoo really is gonna shut their photos portal. Anyways, I've yet to update the links by the side panel. Not to mention the tonnes of photos I've yet to upload online too. kwah-kwah. When I have time and when I remb. Heh.


Ok, gonna put some pics up today. First set:





These were taken at East Coast last Weds. My office peeps are really nice. The previous week, when my Mr J had just barely left, Moses suggested going to do something to help cure me of my lovesickness. Haha..Sophia suggested cycling, and I was all for it! =) Isabel had to work late, so she didn't join us. But still, we had loads of fun. =) Tricia and myself are just sooo photo-people. Hee. Anything, anywhere, you can bet we'll whip our camera out and just shoot. Hee. 1stly, that's why we buy cameras! 2ndly, photos are great keepsakes ok. We went for dinner after that. Not sure if the food is really great or that we were really famished by then, but we could hardly wait to devour the food when it arrived. Digressing, I seem to have turned into this huge gluttony growing child. No amount of food seem sufficient. Sigh. On top of the bad news, I had become lazy at my runs too. Argh! Sign of depression? Sigh...

Ok, here's the next batch of photos.

A mini birthday celebration for me, in office, by my office peeps. Btw, I didn't commision these photos. Our dear Tricia just went trigger-happy. Haha...I do appreciate that though. Great keepsakes =)

Sat Nite @ Zouk

I haven't had such fun in a long time =) So does that mean I have a boring life, or boring frens? *ponders* Coz the last time I went St James was rather boring. Pauline and I agreed that it must have been the crowd we went with. The music's good at Zouk, I must add. Citibank card got me in for free, the guys bought the drinks. Haha..

Pauline asked me out to zouk last night; was organised by Jocelyn. Apart from her and Jocelyn, I didn't know who else was going or how big the group would be. But well, when it comes to Jocelyn, we can always trust her to jio her different grps of frens together. But me n my big mouth - I didn't know that she had broken up wf her bf recently, and well...u know, I shoot my mouth off. Haiz. Of coz she didn't blame me =) But well, I still felt bad. Then again, with the hoards of guys swarming around her..haha. Let's just say she has no lack of suitors. *grin*

Seems that the bunch was pretty much acquainted actually, initially I kinda felt a little odd. But well, it soon passed and we were rather acquainted after a while. Sua ku as I am, I learnt to play the fav guessing game that seemed to be many ppl's alcohol companion. As usual I couldn't drink much lest the allergy monster attacks...so I got a fren to drink for me if I lost. =p Well, he gallantly offered and I did thank him. Haha.

Coincidentally, Adrian was supposed to meet his friends at Zouk too, and while my frens have all reached, his hadn't, so he joined me and my friends first. Albeit paiseh to say, that was my first time at Zouk in my 26 yrs. What? I'm a guai guai girl ok. Heh. Anyways, everyone drank, played their stuff, talked, then decided to hit the dance floor. And fyi, I can't dance for nuts. I've got two left feet. So I felt kinda awkward being there too. Esp when the gang got high, and started dancing. I mean, really dancing. But they don't want to leave me at the table alone, so...yeah.

Anyways, I was just swaying and stuff, then this guy came along and asked if he could know me. I was a little surprised, coz from what I could tell, this chap is young, definitely younger than I am. I found out that he was serving his NS, is 20 this year. And interestingly, he thot I was still studying. Haha...I look THAT young huh? *Ahem* heh...

It definitely turned out to be an interesting nite. I mean, to begin with, I wasn't THAT keen to go, knowing that I probably wouldn't know more than half the peeps in the group, but well, I thot anything beats mopping at home. And the next thing I know when I'm there, I have guys vying for my attention. THree, may I add. Heh. It is flattering, I must say.

But one of them...well he's kinda irritating. He tried to take advantage of me, touching my face on the pretext of "feeling how flushed he is". Initially, I thot he was being friendly, when I saw him touching my other frens. I siam, but one time I couldn't siam fast enuff. Yeah, he did it more than one time loh. He touched my cheek, and I got really pissed. I told him off, not fierce, but definitely not polite. I made it clear to him not to touch me again. He tried to laugh it off as an innocent thing, but I tink the look on my face must hv said quite a fair bit. He didn't try to do anythign subsequently. Initially he tried to come close while we were on the dance floor, but thank god for Pauline and Jocelyn and Adrian - I used them as shields. Heh.

Another one, I'm smart enough to know that he was interested. Ha..so I siamed him. I just acted blur, moving out of his way "unknowingly" whenever he tries to come by...talking to Pauline and Jocelyn whenever he tries to strike a conversation. True enough, Pauline told me later that the reason why she intro-ed us was coz he told her he wanted to know me.

But well...I didn't go out of boundary. I do remember the ring resting on my fourth finger, I do know that my heart has no room for others =)

I like...

I just love ice-cream. That is one very big weakness I have. No, I oughta call it a soft spot, not weakness =)

I'm actually someone with a small appetite for food. A habit since school days I guess. I skip meals, I have late lunches, staff like that. Of course, I'm definitely eating more than I used to. But that's not the point. Ok, let's put it this way, some people have a penchant for good food (classy and all). Me, I would rather spend my last dollar on shopping =D When I go shopping, whether with frens or sister, I can give up on food and simply shop till I drop. Haha. Remember my mean feat when I shopped at Bangkok earlier this year with my frens? We spent more than 15hrs shopping at Chatuchak Market, of which there was only a half to 45min lunch break at best. Good eh...hee.

Ok I've digressed. Back to my beloved ice-cream. Just like fruits, there's no ice-cream I don't eat. Cheap ones, good quality ones, I love them all. Ok, there's one kind of ice-cream I don't like. I don't know how to describe it, but the texture is creamy like milk powder, yet the ice-cream is not cold. Kinda feels like you are EATING cream. Yuck. Disgusting. But other than that...give me the ice-cream!

And I was sayin that I have a small appetite for food, for proper meals, but I have a huge appetite for ice-cream. Insatiable, I should add. =p I'd stop eating my food once I'm full, but that doesn't apply for ice-cream. Those around me who knows me will also know my fav saying: I have two stomachs (like how a cow has four) - one for food, one for ice-cream. So I'm always, always game for ice-cream. Yum! Think I got my sweet tooth from my dad. He loves ice-cream too. Something that didn't show (& therefore I didn't know then) until sometime last year. He would buy boxes of ice-cream cones, popsicles, and most of the time, it would be him or me downing them. Between the two of us, we can go through like 2-3boxes each week. Haha...But well, he's cut down since. Alot actually. He's concerned about taking too much sweet stuff of coz, so no choice. I'm thankful I don't have to cut down. Not for now at least. THough I definitely have to watch my weight and do exercise. Can't imagine how I would be like going on stuffing myself wf ice-cream. This week, I did ice-cream three times already. I just had one. Haha

It used to be candy when I was younger and studying. I have such a sweet tooth that I like anything sweet. And things that people find sweet is fine with me. Actually that is still the case. Haha. I still love candy, but I've learnt to wean myself off them a little more. Coz I'd rather give in to my ice-cream craving than candy craving. That's something I'm still not prepared to give up..yet. I used to down sweets like water. Say for example, a tube of mentos in 10min. Scary huh. My sugar contents must have been horrendous. Heh. I still like sweet stuff, but I do try to curb the sweet stuff as far as I can. FOr instance, these days when I drink tea, I don't add sugar. I drink it as it is with the tea bag. Initially I found it bland and tasteless. But after a week of "training", I think I got my palate a little more back to normal. =) It's a good thing of coz. Heh.

Hmm...I dunno how this topic came about too. Perhaps I was too bored and I just had one huge dullop of cookies and cream ice-cream. Heavenly! But well..that was the end of it, coz the ice-cream was finished. I think I was responsible for the whole 1litre tub (over time of coz). But you know, I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem for me to finish one tub in one setting. Haha.

Hmm...I ought to check out for any ice-cream buffet or ice-cream eating competition huh. hee. Now I'm feeling sleepy. After-effects of the ice-cream I think. Hee. Yawns.

School's In...soon

It's mighty fast, we are 12 days into July. Very soon it'll be mid-month. Half the month whizzed by just like that.

I haven't blogged a single entry this month, till now. Been busy...accompanying my Mr J of course, what else. He'll only be in Spore for the first and last week of July, and the middle two weeks he'll be in the States. Yep, he's in the States now, so that explains why I'm able to spare the time to do a blog entry. Duhh.

Once he comes back from the States, it means it's time for him to return to Sydney too. Which was why I said I was in a kind of dilemma - do I want him back to Spore sooner or not? Not that I have a choice of course. It's just that on one hand, I wish that time would just blink by, so that he'll be back in Spore. But that would mean, yes, he's going back to Sydney too. I guess there'll never be a win-win. Sigh.

Yep, and when he goes back, it means I'm going to start my classes too. My school term starts 6 Aug officially. I'm hoping to sign up for modules that will fall on Mons and Weds if I get my way. Yesh, I still dunno yet, coz our dear NTU hasn't even posted nor emailed anything with regards to module sign-up. Am I too kan cheong or are they too cool about? But yeah, as I've mentioned before, Jac and I are going to be coursesmates, though we may not be doing the same modules. Well, I sure hope there'll b overlapping of course.

I haven't decided for sure whether to do a dissertation or just finished it up with doing all modules. I'm more inclined towards the latter actually. The dissertation idea certainly does not appeal to me (not that much anyway), and besides, I'm a little clueless what kinda dissertation topic I can do. Well I don't have to decide now, just that by Yr 2, I would need to give a formal reply. Arghh.

Whatever it is, I hope I won't screw up my studies this time. Time management is a big issue for me. Has always been. I get distracted and bored easily, and I devote too little time to my studies. Lazy about revisions, about tutorials. What's more, this time I'm working, which is worse. Homework, assignments, work, clients.......*Nightmare* Once is enough to scare me; I hope I won't do stuff like screw up again. And hopefully my boss will be kinder to me, in terms of workload. And because I haven't confirmed which days I'm going for classes, I can't work out a work/time schedule for my boss too. Urgh...We'll have to wait and see then.

Alritey, it's been a busy week. Isabel isn't around this entire week, and I'm covering her work while doing mine. THough half the time, I'm procrastinating about mine. I'm feeling sleepy, need to catch up on my beauty zz then. *Yawns*
