Girl with a broken smile

2011-03-12T21:04:00.002+08:00

And the cold liquid burns in her stomach... She sat, thinking of the ones who had been, who could have been, who wasn't. It's almost time. But no, not for her. No such luck for her.

She drank some more. Until the feelings numb, and gradually faded no more. Then she can finally stop, head home and close her eyes. Until the next daylight shines...

Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Scarlett Johansson again. In a relationship with someone who is in love with someone else. What can I say?

Story here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicky_Cristina_Barcelona

Seriously, everything just go one round and back to where it was before. No regrets, I would say. Just live life the way I think it should be.

I don't know what I want. I only know what I don't want.

2009-07-12T01:18:00.002+08:00

Who are you to judge me?

Watched Duplicity. I love Julia Roberts. Clive Owen is cute too. The whole show was so complicating. But the parts, really unbeliveably twisted. And the end. Like what E say, "I think we're the ones who are kenna conned."

Coffee again. 2nd day in a row mcd. Rained so heavily after the show. Went into the cd shop and bought a DVD. And it was nice sitting in the car enjoying hot coffee, looking at city skyline and river in the drizzle.

Happy birthday to you... I know you're busy having too much fun... Which is why I'm out there seeking my own...

He's Just Not That Into You

Scarlett Johansson. Envious of her kind of beauty and body.

Having a secret affair with a married man while casual dating one who loves her more than she does. Eventually, she ended up alone anyway.

Full story here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He's_Just_Not_That_into_You_(film)

Maybe it's better this way...

2009-07-07T21:39:00.003+08:00

A huge bear and bouquet of flowers. What is that suppose to mean? Maybe I'm too numb already. Tiredness sets in.

I still yearn for what I can't have. It's sad. Just another day without you. But it is not as simple as that. I still think I need time. And things may change. Hearts may get broken. But trust is not there, despite what has happened.

I'm sorry.

2009-07-05T22:04:00.002+08:00

I'm listening to it over and over again... Knowing human, when you're busy, you probably will not start missing pple... I know I will adopt it tml onwards... I really wonder what happens in the next week...

Baby, I just wanna say,
The seconds drag on for each day.
I had you running in my head,
Even after I had gone to bed.

Are you thinking of me as well?
Do you miss me til you wanna yell?
I hope you know my life must go on.
I push myself harder when you're gone.

Pray that time may go faster,
The day I get to see you gets closer.
And so I can find out if it's meant to be,
Or just another girl's innocence seized.

2009-07-05T00:59:00.003+08:00

Hair cut and treatment today. I love my long brown hair... :-) Planning to grow it longer...

Nv meet with C... No I don't miss her, not really... She's paranoid... Don't wanna meet me... Crazy gal...

Went back to office and started shifting cubicle... I have so many things... Amazing... Took 4 hours to pack... Din have dinner and left at 9.50pm... I am so tired... No mood to eat... My mind's filled up with only one thing... Every minute. Every second.

Thanks to A and E who chats with me late at night to make it less lonely...

2009-06-26T23:42:00.002+08:00

Tribute to myself.

I don't know what else to think anymore. My head spins too fast, it's hard to think. But spinning is better than feeling. Coz once my mind clears and feelings take over, I would be crippled.

It has been damn long since it had last happened. The emotional robber had not struck for quite some time. But when it did, it not only left a huge gash in my heart. He broke my faith in God, in friendships and in my trust for others. The only thing created was a huge thick wall which had to be torn down slowly again.

My fault entirely for falling before spying - I had let my guard down. Perhaps it was the attention, the inter-dependency. But I had picked myself up, I have talked myself through. It will not be a hinderance. I believe in karma. I believe that when you stand in front of God, you are gonna be questioned and you will be punished.

But for now, you're no longer priority. My work still comes first.

Soundtrack for now:
You're Not Sorry - Taylor Swift
Hush Hush (mash-up) - PCD
No Surprise - Chris Daughtry
Come Back to Me - David Cook
The Climb - Miley Cyrus

Was supposed to head down to Sentosa on Saturday for my last holiday before school starts again... But when I woke up at 7, it was raining! So went back to sleep and dreams...

Woke up later again and decided to go for movie marathon instead... What better things can we do on a day like this - weather not predictable.

Had Sakae Sushi for lunch... Yummy... Our movies for the day "Ghosts of girlfriends past" and "Land of lost".

Ghosts of girlfriends past is nice... Though it is unrealistic (I mean, ghosts?), but some of the parts are very touching. But it's great to have watched some show like this to restore some faith in true love.

After the first movie, it was a quick dinner and shopping before the 2nd one starts. Bought a belt and a camisole top. C bought 2 boxer shorts. We had dinner at Pizza Hut (pizza and drumlets again)... and head back to Cathay for 2nd round!

Land of lost is not as nice as I have hope it to be... However, the theatre was full house... Gross humour I guess.

Headed down to Acid subsequently and end my night with alcohol and music.

2009-06-07T16:01:00.002+08:00

Back to work for me. Trying to get in the mood. It's hard when your throat hurts and nose is blocked. Must be those work withdrawal syndrome. Fall sick when on long leave. Keke.

One more week of sch hols, peace hopefully.

I finally managed to clear my table at home. Making way for my sister who will be going Uni. Threw away 3-4 old diaries. Old memories. I think I should not keep them anymore. I want to make new memories. Spent a few minutes flipping through them before I threw them out. Really amazing at what I have had in my life. The people, the events. Even now as well, the people... Haha.

Getting really hungry easily. Don't know what is wrong. Because of my infected throat, I had porridge and bee hoon soup. Maybe that's the reason. *sigh* I think I better drink some milk before I get gastric.

Had a nice tea session at Dome Cafe. :P
I love peppermint tea and also cheesecake. Too bad no tiramisu. No worries, will be there to try next time.

For those who hasn't watched dance subaru and are planning to watch, remember to bring tissue. It's a touching show. I think the girl is really pretty though. Came out of the theatre with swollen left eye. Scratched it the night before, making it more obvious after I've cried watching the show.

Hope I will be able to catch up on my work soon. Scary. Take care ya pple.

2009-05-31T00:19:00.003+08:00

Wow... Spent 3 hours plus sitting in Coffee Club... Spent $70 plus... Just 2 of us... Amazing... 3 main courses plus 4 drinks... Binge lah~

Holiday is starting. Yippie! Can't wait to relax by the beach... Slow, peaceful... Must start packing soon. Not to mention, the dreadful cleaning of my room to make room for new stuff... :-

2009-05-17T21:38:00.002+08:00

Been playing crazzzzzy rabbits on Wii the past 2 weekends. Must be really unfit coz after that my arms feels like it's falling off. Gotta rub tiger on it so that I can still move tml.

Best friend comes to my house 2 weeks consecutively already. Next week she not coming liao. Her results' gonna be out on the 22. All the best to her.

Crazy month of May here I come. And hopefully June is more managable. Not too sure. But let's see...

2009-05-06T23:23:00.005+08:00

Had been to and back from Tioman... It's been a late entry... However, because of H1N1, I'm been so super busy that I have no time to upload any entries.

Tioman was pretty fun. And away from technology. I miss my computer so much. And the people I can keep in touch with through the computer. And of course, the cyber-spying. Keke.

Took lotsa photo. Ate lotsa food. And of course, drank lotsa beer. Such a sinful life there. But then again, there's nothing else to do there! Had my first Ramly burger there as well. There's no McDonalds there. Ramly burger is like their McDonalds and BK combined. They even have Big Mac.

Fell in love with the song 彩虹 by Jay Zhou. Really reminds me of someone. I miss your smile.

Up next. Pictures from Tioman. Once I get them.

2009-04-27T23:00:00.002+08:00

Fear. I know now that it is over now because of the difference in the fear level. Apparently, I have nothing to lose, I don't fear.

However, I can't say the same for the other fella. Too much to handle? Perhaps. No courage. Ok. Fear. Haiz.

Can't wait for weekend to come. Wish I have time to play the Wii. But just work first.

2009-04-26T09:34:00.005+08:00

Great weekend. But I have become really broke...

My MP3 player broke down!! :( I know I have been wanting to get an iPod for a long time and yes, I have been delaying it. I'm pretty much a stinge when it comes to buying stuff like this (tech stuff). As long as I don't need it, I don't have to get it. But anyway, I have bought a purple iPod (hee!).

Having been craving f0r Xin Wang and finally got to eat it last night. But the Xin Wang at Cine is so crowded and squeezy. So hurry finish up the food and move on. Looking for sunglasses but couldn't find any new piece. :( Must continue.

Before going home, C and me headed to TCC for a cuppa first.

Brought my folks for a dimsum buffet lunch today. So-so. Probably not heading back there anytime soon. After that, it's shopping time!! Heh! Managed to get my shades... Tioman sun, sand and sea, here I come.

So sad cannot bring my bestie there. She's been wanting to go Sentosa. Pack her into suitcase and drag her there...

2009-04-19T13:47:00.002+08:00

It's been a crazy week at work. When emotions have settled, things were better. But definitely not looking forward to next week.

Fell in love with the facebook application, Restaurant City. So fun. Almost like The Sims (kitchen version). But it's really hard to level up. But getting a new dish/upgraded is so fulfiling. So if you're on facebook and is in need of a new interactive application, you can go here - http://apps.facebook.com/restaurantcity/

Found 2 new nice songs - You're Not Sorry by Taylor Swift and Not Fair by Lily Allen. Both surprisingly reminds me of this person. Haha. Really not fair.

2009-04-11T23:44:00.002+08:00

2 whole days I nv step out of my house. I stayed home and watch GA. I know it's sloth. But I think it's only time for me to rest and catch back on my fav serial. I have watched it until its last episode showed in the US. The storyline's getting really twisted. And it's so sad.

Being like one of the character is sad enough. What if I am living the lives of more than one of the characters? I relate to 'M', coz of her commitment issues. I relate to 'I' coz of her ****. C, just because she lost her love of her life.

On top of that, I watched movies after movies... Think I am going crazy...

2009-04-10T13:56:00.001+08:00

Happy Good Friday!

The creature who will remind me of my shame.

2009-04-05T12:01:00.002+08:00

It's gonna be a few weeks of returning to who I am.

I met up with my roomie and neighbour last night for a catch-up session. It's been too long. Brought them to MSG and it was strange to see that it is so quiet. None of us were very hungry (ok, I had my bouts of going in between). The aglio olio was good. It was the catching up that was great. As was the triple choc brownie (yum!). Hung out at SMU after that and continued talking.

Agreed to meet up again soon (probably next month) after Jud comes back from Philipines. Can't wait. In the meantime, back to research for my desserts. Gonna get baking soon.

Ended up watching 2 movies so far. Told myself not to be sad. And stop beating myself over it. I wish I can. I haven't cried. Not yet, not sure if I can. "He's Just Not That Into You" and "Music and Lyrics". What's pretty hateful is that the name cannot never stop following me. I just want to break away.

This is one of my fav parts in "He's Just Not That Into You" (yes, I know now).

"I may dissect each little thing and put myself out there so much but at least that means that I still care. Oh! You've think you won because women are expendable to you. You may not get hurt or make an ass of yourself that way but you don't fall in love that way either. You have not won. You're alone. I may do a lot of stupid shit but I'm still a lot closer to love than you are. "

But after this, it only makes me feel worse coz u're supposingly this nice guy who probably doesn't deserve it. Just nice enough to agree but not to change the current state. I know coz you're not the first.

Enough of bitching and feeling sorry for myself. I am moving. I will be the wind that change the current. You'll be sorry you messed with me.

2009-03-29T18:01:00.003+08:00

The week wasn't what I expected.

Going downhill all these while but we were to blind to see. I don't want to be a victim anymore. But playing it gets what I longed for.

It's tough to turn back once I knew. And it's eating me alive. Thanks alot for your company once again. And even after. I know in adversity, one must be positive. You are my goal: to be the positive one.

Watched "Confessions of a Shopaholic". It was good. Now I have the soundtrack. It's great to watch people in movies found love. Especially when I am still waiting for mine. I've been watching romantic movies. Still in the "emo" state.

Dinner was good. Catch-up with a friend. I am surprised. I guess I missed the times. It's a pity it is a few years late. But I guess that's life. Drinking session after that. Got high before midnight. Very unhealthy. Went home after that and very thankful again for the attention.

2009-03-21T23:02:00.000+08:00

Finally, the week's over. Friday resume gym again. It was a good workout. And after that, had dinner alone at Delifrance... Soup, salad and peppermint tea...

After a good rest, I went out on Sat morning to meet G for hair appointment... Initially, I thought that leaving home one hour before the meeting time would give me ample time to reach... Never expected that train to be malfunctioning...

Stopping at each station at least 5 mins each... I had no choice but to get off at Potong Pasir take cab down... Furthermore, it was so crowded because of there were others as well... Those people who dunno how to queue up at the taxi stand... Fortunately, nowadays taxi drivers are ethical and they only pick up the perople who did the queueing up. There's even this young girl who wants to cut queue in front of me... I just stared at her and told her to queue at the back just like others...

Luckily there wasn't that much of a jam on the expressway, I was able to reach Mac at Shaw Centre in time for breakfast before heading to the salon. Did a dye and highligh job... Hair is so bright now... Very good... :P

After that, C came to far east to meet us... Had lunch at Hans... Then G went off... Thunderstorming outside and so we were stuck in the building... Went shopping for a while and decided to head to our 2nd stop... Movie at 7pm at the Cathay... But it was only 5pm... So we changed directions and headed to SAM...

Artsy is definitely an eye-opener for us... Definitely interesting... But out of our characters... After that headed to the cathay to have drinks and french toast at Yakun... Reading the magazines and book...

Street fighter was not that fantastic... Kristen Kreuk is very chio, which makes it better... Not a recommendation...

After that we headed to Mr Beans again... Yummy sausages... And home after...

2009-03-15T01:27:00.005+08:00

Serious case of "Please let me melt off the face of this earth."

Out for dinner with C at Shokudo... I had chicken stew and Soba... Simple fare...

Shopping at Watson's after... Ran out of personal supplies for a long time already... Broke my record of spending over 100 bucks in there... Wahaha...

Walked around RC after that... Nothing much to buy... Don't see anything interesting... Decided to head for coffee/tea session... While walking to XW, saw a couple sorta making out by the road... Din make much attention... But while on the way back from the toilet, was surprise it was A... Had a short chat with him...

E joined us at XW...

Had milk tea... Make my stomach bloat with bad gas... Gossip/chit-chat/crap session... Really LOL... Then saw a familiar face... Really coincidental... Also no face see alr... God! Why do you do this to me? Slightly traumatic...

Headed to Marina Barrage after that...

It was fun chatting in the cool night... And I really love these two friends of mine... But it wasn't long before it starts drizzling... Headed home in the rain... Time for bed... Another day closer to the DAY!! :P

2009-03-07T00:29:00.003+08:00

Spinning while writing.

It may have been your bday. But guess what... I'm too busy to think about it.

Am glad I had the self control to not msg. 10 more days... I think I can hold til then... I have the confidence. Can't say I didn't miss you though.

Went for makan session at Waraku. Then Hooters after that... Not enough drinks to knock me out. Stop my mind from wondering...

Will KO very soon. Plan for tml.

2009-03-01T15:42:00.006+08:00

The Past Few Days
I am counting down. Counting down to the start of it. Counting down to the end of it.

You said "Cheer up." How can I? But I promise I will try. It's gonna be hard. Photos of you to keep me company. Almost 20 days. I guess I will throw myself into my work first.

Budget planning is horrible. I hate it. Many many things to do. Many many distractions. Can you tell me why me again?

Weekend
The only time for me to relax. It's great hanging out.

Watch Marley and me. It was great. Teary sort of movie to match my mood. Crying over a dying pet. I have done that as well.

Before the show started

Met up with A for dinner afterwards. Fish & Co sucks at Suntec. Xin Wang after dinner. All the way until 3am.

Love the things I bought. Laptop handbag, new earphones (purple!) and mickey tank top! So happy!

2009-02-22T18:06:00.000+08:00

Super tiring week. Late nights spent outdoors. I've been a bad girl staying out late for many nights, not spending time with family. But then, one must live life while still young. Else it may be too late. Been hitting the gym twice a week. Can't bring myself to hit 3 times a week. Haha.

Loads has happened since last weekend. Only have the time to update in the weekends.

Monday was typical. Nothing significant happened. I think. Or I can't remember. Must be not significant. Except for watching Desperate Housewives Season Finale. Haha.

Tuesday. Gym night. It feels ok. Must pull on.

Wednesday. Jap food dinner. Yummy @ MOF. Marina Barrage after that. Took some nice photos.

Thursday. Visit to SP. Nice to go back to places of old memories. Things change but some still remains. Went to JB after that as well. Great food, drinks and dessert.

Friday. Shag as hell. Still the day must go on. Managed to pull through the day. And gym again after that. Went home exhausted and can hardly keep my eyes open. Fell asleep for 10 hours straight (almost).

Saturday. Shoe shopping. Yippie. Love my two new buys. Had to throw the old ones away coz they're so old already.

"He's Just Not That Into You" was next. Typical chick flick. Pretty predictable. But overall, it was feel good.

Went down to Heeren and bought present for M. Managed to catch some Manhunt action. Droolicious topless guys striding around. Make me forgot about food for a while (but only a short while). Had dinner at Spagheddies after that. Yummy pasta tossed in olive oil and chili flakes. "He" was there that night. Wow. Didn't really expect that. But I guess he no longer holds my attention anymore. Not since someone else who has been filling my mind 24/7.

Headed to Boat Quay and meet up with the gang. Jumbo dinner. Guys love their crabs.

M loves his present. Shake your coconuts man. 2nd round at coffee clubs was great. Laughs and people watching. Headed home after that.

Sunday. Rest time.

2009-02-14T23:57:00.001+08:00

Valentine's weekend.

Woke up early today and headed down to Sentosa for a long delayed tan. Unfortunately, the weather is pretty cloudy and so I didn't managed to get real dark. Started drizzling about 2 hours later so we left.
Headed down to church and lunch at Soeul Yummy at Novena. Movie was at Orchard Cineleisure. Coffee before movie was super funny and full of spills. N broke a plastic cup and subsequently spilled his coffee on C's bag. Watched Valkyrie. The show was fine. Benjamin Button is still better. Tom Cruise is shuai but the plot of the movie is a little stale. Suspense crumbling.

After dinner, headed down to Bugis for some beef noodles. Its noodles are not as nice anymore. But it's the company that matters.

And it was home after that. Really bushed.

* ~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~
Really happy it reached you in time. I hope that you know how I feel about you. Hope you feel the same way too.

2009-02-08T13:25:00.001+08:00

What a weekend.

I think it's by far the best. I can't stop smiling.

The curious case of benjamin button is a good show. Brad Pitt's role in the this movie is definitely much better than the one which he had in "Burn After Reading".

After the movie, had dinner at Simpang Bedok. And coffee after at coffee club at Siglap. East coast park's detour I was also not sure if it was a good idea. But I'm glad you came. The bites are worth it.

V day is coming. Changed to hearts falling. But when will Cupid strike mine? I really want to know.

2009-01-31T23:14:00.005+08:00

Plans made and cancelled. From dinner to bread. Look at my flatten sub.

As I walked back along the path next to the palm trees with the great winds blowing, trying not to trip over the fallen leaves, I can't help but think: what will happen if one of the big leaves got blown off and hit me, would I pass out?

Sad to mention, nothing happened.

28 Jan
Didn't mean to. Didn't expect it. Didn't experience it.

I tried my best not to look, taken almost all effort to turn my attention elsewhere. I know how to hide them. But just wondering if it is worth hiding. Do you feel abandoned? I sure hope you know this is for the better. Or maybe you were even more desperate not to get caught.

29 Jan
Many thanks and plenty of surprises. All ended with a rollercoaster down.

I love Y.M.C.A. But time flies. And interferences after interferences. Still ended up separated.

30 Jan
Ups and Downs. I hate to say it. I know I don't matter. Went home late. Tea session was fine. No touch.

~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~
I want to watch "He's not that into you"!! Story of my life.

2009-01-27T22:53:00.004+08:00

2nd day of new year. It has been a pretty quiet new year this year. Only visited 2 places on the first day. And on the 2nd day, they all came over to my place.

Got so bored I really had to get out of my house. Got out for coffee session and movie later. "Brides War" is great. Got really sad in the middle and really touching in the end.

Dinner at Hogs Breath again. And the strangest ketchup explosion.

~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~

"I don't fear insects or spiders. At great heights, I jump off, smiling. In the face of death I wink. But, when I look into your eyes, I'm in fear of how much I love you."

2009-01-25T21:33:00.000+08:00

Lunar New Year eve. Started like a normal Sunday. Gotta head out soon to meet C... Yeah I know I forgot to return her things... And forgot all about the cookies... BUT! it's not intentional ok? haha. Anyway, I want to buy a bag. Initially a sling bag. I think now, a clutch would be sufficient.

Went to AMK hub yesterday to watch "The Wedding Game". Was slightly late for the show. Overall the show was ok. But I still wanna watch Bride Wars!!

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Went to Vivocity to pass C her stuff. Had wanted Dim Sum. But too bad the restaurant did not serve them coz they were focusing on the reunion crowd. Ate at Hogs Breath instead.

I know. I love my food and good company.

2009-01-22T22:52:00.003+08:00

"I've decided. 2009 is not a good year."

Trust me when I say all things are crumbling. The economy crisis, the heavy and even more heavy loading, the lost of control, the fall of K.

About the Rat
Being born a Rat is nothing to be ashamed of. In China, the Rat is respected and considered a courageous, enterprising person. It is deemed an honor to be born in the Year of the Rat and it is considered a privilege to be associated with a Rat. Rats know exactly where to find solutions and can take care of themselves and others without problems. They use their instinctive sense of observation to help others in times of need and are among the most fit of all the Animal signs to survive most any situation.

Years of the Rat
First in the cycle, Rat Years begin the sequence and recur every twelfth year. The Chinese New Year does not fall on a specific date, so it is essential to check the calendar to find the exact date on which each Rat year actually begins.

The Sign of the Rat
Being born under this sign determines many talents, as well as other characteristics that may not be so commendable. Rats are very lively and need a lot of mental and physical stimulation. They can be calm and perceptive, but sometimes their brains can cause a mental restlessness, tempting them to take on too much, only to discover they are unable to meet their commitments. Rats are blessed with one of the best intellects going. Add to their intelligence a curiosity and a bright imagination, and they seem as sharp as a needle.

The sign of the Rat is the first sign in the cycle giving Rat people exude great leadership qualities and are good at taking the lead. They don't mind a lot of responsibility and they demonstrate a strong presence that other people respect. For those with the Rat nature, status and monetary satisfaction are the greatest motivation.

RAT FACTS:
People born in the Year of the Rat share certain characteristics. The Rat sign is an abbreviated way of characterizing that individual's personality. Following are features associated with the sign of the Rat. First in order, Chinese name-SHU, sign of charm
Hour-11pm-12:59am Month-December
Western Counterpart-Sagittarius

CHARACTERISTICS
Smart, Magnetic, Well-liked, Affable, Quick-witted, Surreptitious, Selfish, Protective, Calculating

IN YOUR ELEMENT
THE WOOD RAT 1924 AND 1984
Despite having a remarkable facade of self-confidence, deep down, Wood Rats are the least sure of themselves compared to other Rats. However, they wouldn't dream of showing this side of themselves to anyone. Only close companions of a Wood Rat would ever suspect that he or she had such self-doubt. In fact Wood Rats are often worried about downfall, despite their ability to find success. Well-liked, proficient, and good leaders at work, Wood Rats seem to function best when they are surrounded by family and friends. Cordial and delicate, they are usually well loved by family, friends and peers.

Health and home
RAT HEALTH
The affect of the sign of the Rat is energetic, and demonstrates enough endurance to fight most any sickness. Yet, all Rats tend to be tense, full of nervous energy, petulant and prone to stress. Rats also harbor a bit of aggression; yet, they are usually able to control it. Yoga would benefit Rats by calming their aggressive natures and helping them manage stress.

AT HOME WITH THE RAT
Rats make good homemakers who are always willing to do household chores. Rats are not usually interested in keeping up with the times, and it doesn't matter to them whether or not their furnishings are in style. What does matter is that their home is a refuge expressing warmth, comfort and vogue. Light blue is their color of choice for home decor. Because this is a sign of acquisition, the Rat person's house is presumably bursting with various knick-knacks collected over the years. Most Rats are cheerful, domesticated individuals who find happiness at home with their family.

Career and finance
THE RAT ON THE JOB
The Chinese say others should always listen to the advice of the Rat. Because of their intellect and observatory powers, Rat people possess prudence and perception. They can anticipate problems, and are always able to see the big picture. They can hone in on issues at hand and make measurable judgments. These skills, combined with their sense of aspiration also make them clever operators. Status, money, title, and recognition are important to the Rat. They have keen senses of observation that allow them to foresee upcoming business opportunities as well as potential occupational problems. The Rat makes a better boss than an employee and, although motivated, they can be pinned down by routines. Rats work better in flexible situations where they can be freely creative.

MONEY AND THE RAT
Cunning and thrifty, Rats have a knack with money and are apt to save for rainy days. When capable, the Rat is a great money saver, and in strapped times he knows how to make something out of nothing or how to turn make things advantageous for himself. Although few Rats suffer financially, the Chinese have a proverb: They who pile up grain hoards have much to lose.

RAT CAREERS
Those born in the Year of the Rat also share the same kinds of goals and objectives in life. The occupations best suited for the Rat are listed below:

RATS MAKE EXCELLENT:
Writers, Broadcasters, Actors, Advisors, Counselors, Lawyers, Politicians, Designers, Engineers, Managers, Directors, Administrators, Entrepreneurs, Musicians, Stand-up Comedians, Researchers, Historians, Race Car Drivers

CONGENIAL BUSINESS PARTNERS
Whether Rats are compatible with their business partners depends on whether their signs are harmonious or antagonistic to those of their partners. Considering the congruity of their own characters and the characters of their business colleagues can also be very useful.

Rats Ruled By Benefit From Are Antagonistic to
Metal Earth Dragons Fire Sheep
Water Metal Rabbits Earth Horses
Wood Water Monkeys Metal Snakes
Fire Wood Oxen Water Rats
Earth Fire Pigs Wood Roosters

Leisurely activities and pleasures
LIKES AND DISLIKES
Since Rats are born under the same Animal sign, they often share likes and dislikes. Following are similar likes and dislikes of the Rats personality:

Rats Like:
Color Preference: Light-Blue
Gems and Stones: Diamond, Amethyst, Garnet
Suitable Gifts: car accessories, art books, gym memberships, geographical maps
Hobbies and Pastimes: Interior design, playing basketball, crafts, painting

Rats' Dislike: Doing without things they want, strict time keeping, any routines, being at the end of the line

THE RAT VACATION
Travel delights the Rat personality and ignites his curiosity. Sunbathing is not the ideal way for a Rat to spend his vacation. Rats are adventurers. They want to explore, examine, visit and party during their time off. They want to try new foods, find new sights and experience the culture of the area they are visiting. And, of course, if they can come home with an exotic souvenir to add to their collection their vacation will have been an instant success.

FRIENDS AND ENEMIES
Generally friendly and sociable, the Rat is one of the extroverts of the Animal Zodiac. Often, the Rat is lively and genial, and has a special gift for easing the minds of others. It is not surprising that Rats have a lot of friends. They are great speakers and intriguing conversationalists, and can generally find something to say on just about any topic or subject. Of course, there is always that renowned Rat lure that allows them to charm the pants off of people! To the people they love, Rats can be amazingly charitable, popular and supportive, and will go out of their way to be certain their loved ones are content. On the other hand, if the Rat does not like someone, he is considered fair game and can be used to achieve any and all of the Rat's desires. At the end of the day, though, the Rat is a loyal friend and will be there for his companions through thick and thin.

Compatible Friends: Dragons and Monkeys
Mortal Enemy: Horses

RAT PARENTS AND CHILDREN
Rat parents are dedicated to their children. They encompass their little ones with love and attention and enjoy watching their offspring grow and experience the world. When their children are small they brood a great deal over them. Rats become concerned if their babies don't develop as quickly as other children. They anguish over whether or not they are raising their youngsters correctly. With the mental capacity to pick things up easily, Rats tend to get agitated with people who are not quite as quick-witted as they are. No wonder this trait could lead to conflict between Rat parents and their children should any of their children be late bloomers or harbor learning disabilities. Overall, Rats are indulgent parents who don't like denying their youngsters of things they want, and the children soon learn how to wrap their parents around their little fingers.

THE RAT INFANT AND CHILD
Rat babies love to be loved and cuddled. When they are young, Rat babies tend to depend tremendously on their parents, but later in life they develop natural leadership qualities. During their baby years, Rats mature slowly, but gain momentum as they become toddlers. Eventually, they begin to exhibit active mentalities, so, in the early years, plenty of sleep is necessary. In school, the young Rats are eager to learn. It is then, too, that Rats begin collecting things, and like to fill their bedrooms with pebbles, shells and keepsakes of every kind. Generally, young Rats are smart little people who are artistic and literary students. They are well-rounded and many of them do well in sports, too. Being born in the first sign of the Chinese horoscope motivates these children to be pioneers and gives them a need to be first in line.

RAT PARENT/CHILD KINSHIPS
Some parents click immediately with their children and others find they will never have a close relationship no matter how hard they try to make it happen. Following are the compatibility ratings between Rat parents and their children.

Lovers and partners
Rats are beautiful people with magnetic personalities. The Rat himself can't help but notice the admiration he receives from others. If the Chinese say there are few poor Rats, there are an even fewer number who are not sexually stimulating- especially as young people. Rat people are romantic, and are always happier to have someone to share with.

RAT ENRAPTURE
One of the Rat's greatest assets is his charm. Rats can melt hearts with their smiles. Add that to their coquettish personalities and you can easily see how they conquer the hearts of others. And, since Rats love to go out, they have plenty of chances to meet potential suitors or future partners. An annoying quirk of some Rats is they have a difficult time severing ties with former lovers. Obviously, this can pose potential conflicts for the Rat and his new lover and can even endanger his ability to develop new relationships. When the Rat finally settles down with Mr. or Ms. Right, he will find a sincere satisfaction in the intimacy of the partnership.

A RAT'S PARTNER
Although Rats like to be in the driver's seat, they do need partners who can keep up with their active lifestyles. Chinese horoscopes are very specific about which partnerships have the potential to be successful in love and in business. Yet, though destiny can point us in the right direction, we must still make efforts to maintain loving relationships. Following is a brief description of how a Rat will affect a relationship with other Animal signs.

PARTNERS IN LOVE
Rat*Rat
This is a prosperous partnership, especially in a business atmosphere. These two are bound to compete!
Rat*Ox
Very sexually enticing, yet likely to fail at marriage.
Rat*Tiger
Potential for great companionship, but you will have some major disputes.
Rat*Rabbit
Rats think Rabbits are boring. Rabbits love to be out and about. You will only frustrate each other.
Rat*Dragon
A solid, caring partnership. You value each other and get along very well.
Rat*Snake
Work on your differences and you could learn something form each other.
Rat*Horse
Don't even think about it.
Rat*Sheep
If you both try hard and make great efforts, you will survive.
Rat*Monkey
You share similar goals and will make a great match.
Rat*Rooster
It's just not worth it…there are too many conflicts.
Rat*Dog
Rats think Dogs are tiresome, but you have the potential to be a good match for each other.
Rat*Pig
Uphill, downhill, uphill…you love each other intensely, but keep an eye on your checkbooks!

EAST MEETS WEST
CAPRICORN RAT
Industrial and tenacious, Capricorn Rats are profoundly enterprising and make substantial progress in their occupations. These people expect their dedication to be rewarded. They may not be that sentimental, but they are loyal and honest.

Slept at 3+ in the morning. Thinking about my life. Maybe another time.

I woke at about 10+ in the morning. Had breakfast and settled down at 11 before starting Operation: Pineapple Tarts. Spent the whole day from 11am to 8pm making them... 9 hours and the result is approximately 15 big containers full of goodies...

Took some time off in between folding and ironing clothes... Simply tired... But at least it keeps my mind of some things...

2009-01-17T23:43:00.000+08:00

Met up with best friend yesterday. It has been a little more than 2 weeks since I last met her. And I missed spending time with her.

Lunch at Suntec. Was late (very sorry! but I "blanja-ed"...) because was helping mom with her pineapple filling shaping. Had yummy set meals at Ichiban Boshi. And then, it's shopping time!! Walked and walked through the shops of Suntec and Marina Square... After 4 hours of shopping, I've finally found all the clothings I can wear for CNY.

Fell in love with this dress at Mango... Nice prints, flowy and fits nicely... $115... Best friend practically have to drag me out of the shop so that I don't get it... But it's really nice... Haiz... Guess the $115 can be better spent on a nice bag...

After shopping, it was dinner at CoffeeClub at Marina Square... The food wasn't that great... But the coffee there is alright... I realized that I have specific drinks ordered from various places I frequent.

Starbucks - Caramel Latte
TCC - Minty Mocha
Swensens - Mint-in-a-coffee
Coffee Club - Tiramisu Latte

Went home after dinner, it wasn't that early anyway...

2009-01-10T23:59:00.002+08:00

I was special before you came. Hate how you make me feel...

Open House Day 2 - 10 Jan. Nothing special. Though I see you, I think you nv do....

Exhausted... Went drinking the night before at Bishan Park... I love Erdinger dark... Not to mention Long Island... Tried tequila sunrise... But it's not that fantastic... Very very mild... The lasagna is great!! Best recommendation. Good company as well.

Unfortunately had to go back to office the next day... I woke up abit late. Managed to get in before 8.30am though. So I was lucky... Spent the day doing planning... But exhaustion really slows down the thinking process and concentration... Not to mention, super many distractions...

Had dinner with D and R... Outback food was great!!

Grill Fish Masala

Chicken on the Barbie

Prime Minister's Prime Ribs

Drank more... It helps to relax... Helps to forget... Helps to make me sleep at night... Any thing which helps me not to lie there in bed, thinking, dreaming, fantasizing about you.

2009-01-06T23:18:00.002+08:00

Everybody's busy...

My heart pounds so hard everytime... I can't help to be a little unfriendly when u're around... I need some protection... A block of jelly to shield me from daggers of rejection... It's hard... To want to be close but having to stop myself lest it becomes an addiction to me... Why don't you tell me?

Hate it that my ankle hurts... Now I can't wear heels... Glad that PMS is almost over... Hope my fever won't come back...

*~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *
A yes or a no would be fine.

2009-01-02T23:01:00.005+08:00

One more day. One more year. Whether I can get through it, I'm not so sure.

It was good, sneaking peeks through the day. Satisfied me in bite sizes. I'm not sure if it's the lack of food or the non-stop moving around which made me so sad. Feel like in tears the whole day. Almost have no time to breathe. Other days I'll probably embrace it. But not today.

Intimidation. Don't understand how advances get misunderstood. Interests no longer shows itself as it is, I guess. Maybe stalking is better. Just kidding. But please lead me not into temptation. I know my way there too well. Let me know if I have to U-turn.

On my way back home, I made myself the harshest decision: to not be a leech. I know I'm sapping enough. Wrong timing may have cost me huge loss. But let's just see. It's taking a toll on me. But I will push on. Push myself so hard that I see stars and heartbreaks. Feel the ache but ignoring it.

2009 has proved that it is starting to be a huge headache.

1 Jan 2008
Brought old notes and textbooks to C's house. Then went down to Vivo and meet PZ. Yummy hotdog lunch. I love the hotdogs there. Chili cheese bacon dog (Ummmm... Feel so hungry now.) After walking around shopping, we ended up at central for dinner.

"Excuse me miss. You can't take picture of our food here." Oops. Abit too late.

Anyway, nv ever, EVER go to this place. "Central" in Vivo basement/Taka basement. It SUCKS 101%.

2008-12-31T23:57:00.003+08:00

As the minutes to the end of 2008 ticks towards 2009, it always the time to recap the moments of the past year. I must say 2008 has been a good year for me. 2009 should be even better. Let's just see about that.

My birthday had been good. Even though there wasn't a party. No booze. No music. Having the company was enough.

Now, it's time for new year resolution making. Writing it down somewhere makes it real.

Live a healthier lifestyle.
Pick up a new skill (dancing maybe? or scrapbook making?)
Go for my BTT.

Three resolutions seems achieveable. Of course a not-so-secret resolution would be to find myself a bf. Haha. But lack of time (and perhaps poor time management) seems to be preventing it. Therefore, must look "around" more. Not so easy, I would say. But still, hope for the best.

* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~*

Thank you for spending the night with me. You make the time more bearable passing by.

2008-12-27T22:31:00.003+08:00

A post-Christmas, pre-birthday celebration with friends... Met C and A at NYDC wheelock place... Yummy food...

After dinner, it was party time. Me and C headed down to Thumper. Got really high and into the music. 1 cocktail, 1 beer, 1 shooter and 1 martini later, we're in some cam-whoring action...

Dance. Dance. Dance. Managed to get home but in total spinning action. Even when I woke up in the morning. Not enough sleep and I still have to head to the salon in the morning for my hair appointment.

2008-12-25T10:52:00.006+08:00

Merry Christmas one and all...

Both Christmas eve and Christmas Day has been this gloomy, rainy weather... Which is sorta like snowing (liquid style)... Oh no... Did I say style? Haiz... Stop getting into my thoughts... They say Christmas is spending time with the family... But what do you do when it seems like you have no family?

Xmas night... I actually had a nightmare... What a "beautiful" dream... Maybe something yet to come... It has always been lying there under the surface...

Twilight was good. I wanted to watch it with someone initially. More surprises in the dark. Turned out to be a group movie. Which is cool too. Feel like watching it again... Totally in love with the story... The story of a love separated by a thin line...

Went down to Siglap after the show and slacked there. So near yet so far... No replies as yet... Is that fine? I'm not sure... I just took it as easily as I can... But for sure it affects me... Even more than it did those previous times... I nv cried after those breakups... I cried for you...

Xmas Day @ Vivo is crazy... Had marche as lunch at 3++... Xmas feast with best friend... Yummy... Rosti.LambChops.Pasta.MushroomSoup.RootBeer(faux beer)... Good catching up with gossip... At least it temporarily fills my mind up with something else other than the hurting stuff...

Went shopping after that.... Super crowded... Luckily La Senza is one of the less crowded shops... Bought 2 bras... One red, one green (xmas colours!!)... I have upgraded... Keke... Finally, my first front-clasped...

After walking in and out of a few other shops (totally unable to see much things with all the people around), we headed to Bakerzin for some yummy food (again!!).

Tiramisu

Mushroom Bruschetta

Tapas: Chocolate & Caramel Ice Cream with Rice Crispies, Chocolate Shooter with Vanilla Ice Cream, Vanilla Creme Brulee

Home sweet home after that...

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

What's going on up there? Let me in...

2008-12-18T23:29:00.003+08:00

Kayaking in the sea, cycling on roads and rough terrain, climbing up steep trails...

It was a total great fun on Pulau Ubin with Grace, Darren and Germaine, together with the OIS colleagues. Adventurous learning trip which allows us to get out of office for one day and away from the technology in our work... It feels strangely relieving not to be carrying around a laptop... I somehow feels that others are feeling more stress being in the natural outdoors though...

Initially, without insect repellent, I thought I will be surely bitten alive... Surprisingly, I encounter more cuts and scratches than bites...

Final Count
Bites: 7
Scratches: 8
Sunburnt: Arms and legs
Aches: ASS!

I like the sea expedition more... Seems like it is physically less exertive than the land one... But the aches and the burns from the sea is terrible...

After we headed back to mainland, we decided to treat ourselves to buffet!! Yummy!!

:P One more day to Friday...

2008-12-07T18:25:00.006+08:00

The sunday before a public holiday always feel great.... Spent the day painting at home... New year is coming... Tired... And hungry... Home delivery dinner... Yum... :P

Yesterday I went movie with Carrie. Watched Bolt. Watch until cry lor... Haha... It was really touching ma... Cute puppy...

Shopping again... Bought a lot of stuff... Not helping the state of brokeness I am feeling right now...

2008-12-03T19:57:00.009+08:00

One year already. It has been another year in an unbelievable fast time. I really hope I have had a fruitful one year. But I dunno... I am not sure...

Corporate retreat... Sharing, food, games... This year's held in school... Abit boring... And board games seem aimless... I rather be outside...

Jenga!

Some game which asks you to guess emotions.

Jungle madness weirdness.

And it's back to the office and clearing email for the day... And that's how my one year had been...

2008-11-30T00:37:00.005+08:00

One week leave. So quickly over. Wish there's more time.

23 Nov 2008
Went to Malaysia for some shopping fun. Bought some clothings, shoes and accessories. Not to mention yummy Dunkin Donuts.

Rest the whole Monday and watched some desperate housewives.

26 Nov 2008
Last paper for C. Planned a day of activities. Met her for lunch at CCK Sakae.

Food makes me happy.

And to the Zoo next!!! Yah... 2 grown ladies to the Zoo. Weird huh?

I love teddies!

The lone penguin.

Otters.

After an exhaustingly humid walk in the zoo, we then head down to Vivo for some Dim Sum. 10 dishes we had in all. Wow.

27 Nov 2008
Another day of outing with the girls. Caught Four Christmases. It was funny, in the "puke-y" kind of way.

28 Nov 2008
Attended the closing bash of Reflections 2008. Real relieve that it is finally over! :) It was entertaining attending those school activities. I guess I really enjoyed MUSE the most out of all the events that I have gone to.

29 Nov 2008
Met C again and watched Wildchild. It was nice. Kinda remind me of the days where I read stories on boarding schools by Enid Blyton.

Popcorn combo! Bolt!

After the movie, we walked from the Cathay to Taka for dinner at Crystal Jade. :P

Dumpling with spicy sauce (on the side).

Xiao Long Bao!!

Egg white souffle with red bean paste and banana.

And the cute bear x'mas tree at Taka. Bet ZG would love it.

2008-11-24T18:44:00.009+08:00

15 Nov 2008
Attended a wedding dinner. It was good catching up with cousins and relatives. And very happy to see her get married as well.

It's been crazy lately, attending courses, school performances and working hard at the same time. Feel the exhaustion mounting on. But the feeling is good. Like achieving something great. That you feel like you have given your all.

Attended Wind Symphony concert. MUSE. Hossan, live. They are all good shows. Can't wait for the closing bash. Got taufik leh!

22 Nov 2008
Went to watch Beverly Hills Chiwahwah. So cute!! I love talking puppies. I also passed my present to my best friend which was super long time ago.

23 Nov 2008
Went JB for some shopping time. Bought some cute little angels, clothes, heels... Been out of Singapore feels great. Like as if I can put down my worries and be free. Just for that day. It was a fun experience. We should do it again. To KL next! Will show you guys what I bought later on.

I love Cold Case. Never fails to make me cry each episode. I need a cry now. Dumb***. I think you don't deserve me. Shifting my target already. You're out of my radar. Good luck surviving out there.

2008-11-09T17:28:00.003+08:00

First of all, a big happy birthday to Carrie.

Met up with her on Friday at Swensens. It's been so long since we last went there for dinner. It just gets worse and more squeezy. Bad table planning and all about budget. They were squeezing customers into spaces which don't allow for much movement. Really quite bad.

Swensens Chocolate Fondue

Don't try the fondue. Totally not worth it. Chocolate sauce not enough. And why would someone wanna dip ice-cream into fondue. I prefer the traditional fruits, bread, poundcake and marshmallow.

Went down for Transitions on saturday night. Before that, had a nice dinner at Botak Jone. Sad that the portions are smaller already :(

The performance was nice. I will agree with E that the 2nd half is nicer. And I am so proud of them. They had performed better than I had expected.

Met C after the concert. Counted down her birthday with her at NYDC with cakes and super cool drinks...

Chocolate Addiction And Lemon Shiver

Nutty Nougat Brownie and Iced Manhatten Mocha

Late night celebrations taking a toll on me. Practically slept the whole day. So dead...

2008-10-31T23:56:00.004+08:00

As the last minutes of Halloween strikes, I am just sitting here, recapping the last 10 months. Especially the day before.

Is there more? Are they more? I know I can never uncover unless I am honest. Pride is preventing me. Really feel like crying...

Totally spoil my Fridays. I shall forth hate Fridays because of this.

Is it coincidental? I think I better not think too much. The same stall... The same shirt... The worse is you're suppose to be gone but yet you're around... Break it into pieces and glue it back, only to throw it high and let it smash on the ground once more...

I hope you get what you are looking for... I don't want to think about it... Just hide and sleep and not get up... Don't think, don't wake, don't wanna see... I have no more courage... Please, no more...

2008-10-27T17:25:00.006+08:00

After one really tiring week, the long weekend is finally here.

Saturday: Went to watch Tropic Thunder. Really lame show. But panda-ish funny.

Went to Giraffe after that. Had wanted to try long time ago. Weird that it is not crowded. I had expected it to be filled with people at a Saturday evening, 7pm. The food there is so-so. But nice ambience.

Sunday: Nothing much but woke up super late. Watched some desperate housewives 4 and went out to meet the girls! Initially, it was supposed to be Marche. But the long queue... So we went to Carnivore instead.

Haven't met up together in a long time already. Girls night out is fantastic.

Too bad the night ends early as exam period is coming for C. Good luck to PZ for her search for work.

2008-10-19T14:23:00.009+08:00

Woke up this morning. I dreamt of him. Really weird but yet feels so real. It's only been less than one day. I mustn't fall. This song is dedicated to him.

I dreamt of going to the US and came back in one day. And see him on the bus, sitting just in front of me. Some idiots smoking in the bus, I remember it's at Lornie Road (I know. The details right?) He went to ask them to stop and got punched in the face. I stood up and kicked them in their butts. Always the one running towards the trouble.

Friday was both good and bad. *secret smile* I don't hate her la. But then I can say my timing can't be anymore worse. *sigh* I don't see how nobody can dislike her, she's cute, funny and so unpretentious. But yet sometimes, I just wish it is not like that.

The ride to town was nice. Met my best friend in town and had dinner at The Indulge restaurant at the Cathay. The boss is shuai one ok? Haha. Go there and check it out yourself. The food there is not bad too I feel.

Went to watch "Burn After Reading" after that. It's really as it said, the dark humour. As someone said, guys portray humour different from girls. Seriously, whoever named George Clooney the sexiest man in the world must be a guy. In that movie, he's not handsome and has the TKP look, doing weirdo stuff like sleeping around, carrying a sex-enhancing pillow and building the sex machine (you have to see it to believe it). Hilarious but eurgh.

Found a piece of white hair Saturday morning. Sad.

Tea-time at MOF(bugis) before I cut my hair. Yummy yummy! Omelette Soba and Kurian.

I miss my long hair.

2008-10-14T22:56:00.003+08:00

Why? Why no msg? No call? No nothing. Disappointed. They say it is obvious. But I don't see it... I don't feel it... I should have been the expert right?

The race of heartbeat when I saw flashing orange. The drop of the heart when courage failed. Sometimes just want to give up.

This is all so illogical!!

2008-10-12T12:44:00.003+08:00

Woke up early today. Despite sleeping at 2+ in the morning, I woke up at 8 and went jogging. Man it feels good. After I took a long walk around, before returning home for breakfast and tv. No plans today. Just rest and slack.

Just want to share this new song I like recently. It's by We the Kings. I just want to run away.

And another video to share. My favourite song from the Mamma Mia movie.

Don't go wasting your emotions. Lay all your love on me.

2008-10-05T22:41:00.004+08:00

A supposingly short week but it was as busy/tiring. Weird huh... Seems like the Hari Raya holiday just went and past so quickly...

Watched 2 movies this week: My Best Friend's Girl and House Bunny
Both were good. Looking forward to more shows...

Went to nice places to eat as well... Billy Bombers again, Din Tai Fung and Canele! Will upload the pictures once I get them from C's camera...

But for now, let me just gush about how Nicky 李玖哲 is... Super adorable... Saw him on tv last night... He's getting more cute... I don't understand how come pple say that he is a good singer... He's only average... But he's super sincere baby face surely melts pple's hearts... Not to mention, he looks like someone I know, don't want to mention and certainly not a friend of mine...

Looking like that "someone" in this pic

So sweet and adorable in this pic

2008-09-28T01:50:00.004+08:00

Been to watch Mamma Mia last week in the theatres... It was great... Though the storyline is nothing new, but the new cast updates it with wonderful surprises no doubt... Love the comical characters in the show as well as the touching parts...

"Our Last Summer" is one of the nicer songs in its OST. I like it very much.

Met up with C and S on Friday night... Headed down to Vivocity (not planning to squeeze in the central with the rest of the F1 fans)... We had dinner at this HK cafe style restaurant called KimGary... For those who loves HK cafe food, please do not go there... The food sucks... Xin Wang is definitely much better... Nonetheless, you still see us grinning away in the photos... It's the company that matters...

After dinner, we walked around Vivo's Giant Hypermart and bought some stuff... Was about to head on home for an early night when we bumped into Edwin... So long never see him already and he really seems to be expanding in his width... But it's all muscle...

We decided to catch up over desserts at Bakerzin... Look at us with delicious dessert tapas, warm chocolate cake and the guys with that mushroom pasta...

Yummy desserts and great company!! All-in-all, a good friday for me...

2008-09-18T17:39:00.006+08:00

It was E's birthday on Tues... Same as MM... Haha... So cool... Had dinner at spagheddies with him... The cute waiter with the dark intense look was there... The last time I was there with C, he gave us free soup... Haha...

Anyway, the food is great and we had desserts at Canele afterwards...

Camomile Flower Tea

Classique Chocolate Cake and Strawberry Shortcake
CCC and SS?

Later, got home and realised that it is also PX and QX's birthday as well... All on the same day... They are really meant for great things...

2008-09-14T15:25:00.005+08:00

On a no-alcohol diet. Life is indeed miserable. Without the drinking, definitely there's more left for shopping - which is what I did. Bought a watch, sweater, shoes over the last two weeks. Gonna do some more shopping. Yippie.

C finally done her reports. Then can join me to go out on these crazy outings. Though we now have our busy schedules, we have now decided to meet on saturdays afternoon after her service and stayed til about 8 plus at night. Yesterday, we watched Step Brothers at Cathay.

Very funny show. Really amazing to see 40 year old men behaving like kids. But of course, it's just a movie. "Never forget your dinosaur." Haha. You have to watch the show to know the joke... I'm looking forward to Mamma Mia and The Love Guru.

I watched Wall-e the day before... Such a cute movie... Well, the ending is a little sad... But it is a sweet movie in all...

Had carl's jr for dinner yesterday... I haven't eaten there for quite some time already... So it was nice... Changed my fries for onion rings... Yummy... They have good onion rings there... For those who do not have a particular liking for onions... Try them there... C had chili fries, which is not that fantastic... I think the one at superdog is slightly better... I have this thing fo soggy fries and the one at superdog is soggy chili fries... Yummy...

Even bought a new black sweater from Zara's sideline, TRF. Looks great and definitely a good buy... Wish I can find the perfect denim skirt! Haiz...

2008-08-22T23:03:00.003+08:00

What happened the past few months

Billy Bombers @ the Cathay

6th Anniversary Dinner - Shanghai Theme

Le Baroque Fun with buddies

I cried. Totally exploded in the shower. Salty tears run together with soap water to wash away my sorrows. Only to have more sorrows unleashed.

Many changes since last year. Not bad changes. Just changes. Many things I wanna say. Better keep them to myself. I hide too much, it's hard to reveal anything more.

*if one day, you find me broken on the floor. please don't hesitate to pick me up and dust me off.*

I know I have not been taking care of myself. The drinking, the gorging, the non-existence movements. It's been getting harder for me to get up everyday, with nothing to look forward to. I must not give up, you're just the sore loser of all situations.

She doesn't appreciate you, her friends thinks you're a jerk. Are you really one? Maybe. I'm just cursed to fall for the fallen.

Went for a magic show today... Great show... :) The student performances obviously needed more improvements... But they are still rather good...

The invited guests are definitely fantastic... They include well-known local magicians like Jeremy, Alex, Joe and Nique. Certainly impressed by them. The greatest thing is that in a smoke-free campus, magicians are the only ones who can get away with smoking on campus... On stage no doubt... Cool huh?

Made it through the day without dinner... Absolutely feeling a little faint right now... Perhaps it's time for bed...

*how i wish i have a magician bf*

Over the weekend, I have just spend my time catching up, eating and entertaining as I always do in a group.

Food at Killiney Cafe

2008-05-04T18:08:00.006+08:00

After dinner came dessert at Azabu Sabo...

Matcha with ice-cream float

KuriAn

Why did this guy stand like this?

2008-04-28T23:47:00.000+08:00

Day sucks... Spilled coffee on my pants... Argh!

2008-04-27T15:21:00.006+08:00

Long time no update already... I know... Well, just been losing it lately...

But first... Some food pictures 1st...

Shark Fin Soup

Beef Noodles

Went for buffet dinner last week and din get to eat beef noodles... So went back there the next week...

Watched 2 movies... Forbidden Kingdom and Harold & Kumar.... Forbidden Kingdom is not that fantastic... The moves were great... But the lines are really... weird... Harold & Kumar is gross... Really... But it is funny as hell...

Movies I still wanna catch... The Hottie and the Nottie, Made of Honour, Speedracer and Wall-E... Who's up for a show?

Okok... Buck up. BUCK UP!

Song for this week. Nice one. Really fitting to one aspect of my life. But you know what? I am over it. Not gonna let it rain on my. You're not worth it. And good luck to her who think she's got it. Guess what. Rotten apple.

It still hurts.

What Hurts The Most
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don’t bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok
But that’s not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do

It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I’m doin’ It
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That’s what I was trying to do

2008-04-17T22:37:00.003+08:00

Thoughts of you keep flashing in my mind... Though I may be asleep on the bus... They keep flashing still... I just can't help it...

You make me want to work hard,
And shone the light for me when I am lost.
The happiness you have brought in my life,
Makes me want to shout til I am hoarse.

I used to be so reliant, on people around me
But since then I have grown.
I've waited so long, I'm still waiting
I don't mind that right now I am alone.

As long as we keep in touch over the phone
Have dinner together once in a while,
Watch movies in the theatre occasionally,
I will be satisfied now.

Trust me in the things I said,
Though it may seem that I said them in jest.
I can never be more serious about you,
This is one secret I will confess.

I really miss you. I hope you hear.

~ Jiayu

Can't think of much to write about this week...

Craved for beef noodles again... So went down to Bugis again to eat on Friday night... What's great was the japanese dessert after that... Yummy~!

Sweet~

Went for a makeup course... Hee hee... Quite fun... And then a short shopping spree after that... Plus good food...

Talking about food... Look at this enormous "PAO"...

Look at the cute little kid...

This week's song by Mariah Carey... Really a song to get into some action with... But take a look at its MTV... Super hilarious...

2008-04-05T21:58:00.010+08:00

Met up with C on Wed. Went to Cafe Cartel. Yum yum. I had my pork ribs.

Yummy~!

After dinner, went shopping. Tried on 2 pair of skinny jeans. I think I am too fat for them. A bit sad though. So tempted to buy either a pair of grey or black jeans (or maybe both?) I need to get rid of some clothes. My cupboard is bursting soon.

Today is "Spoil Myself" day. Woke up early (unplanned) and so I went for a run. Came home for breakfast and a good shower then I headed out to the optician to get my contact lens. Went to get my haircut as well. Yes. Finally. It's much shorter now. Though I will miss my long hair, but it is a relief and much cooler with shorter hair.

Bought lunch back to eat. Was slacking in front of my computer catching up on my facebook activities when D and G (not Dolce and Gabbana) asked to have coffee at AMK. Just when I stepped out of home, it started pouring. Boredom to max-ness.

Heading to sleep now. Very tired already. Have to decide on the song to upload tml.

2008-03-30T11:24:00.006+08:00

A rather eventful week.

Went out on Wed to watch "Sky of Love (Koizora)". Had wanted to watch it just to shed some tears. Can't believe I cried so much. Even the next day, my eyes were still swollen.

"I'm still in love with the sky."

Even now, when I watch the trailer, tears can't help but still pooled in my eyes.

Friday. Another movie. Vantage Point. Highly recommended by ZG. I think it was cool. The concept of the film. But it does get a little monotonous after the 2nd rewind. Can definitely feel the "pek-chek-ness" of the fella beside me. But I think the ending was great. A perfect circle, nice ending.

Stayed home on Saturday. Really don't have the mood to go out. Plus I miss my house. Crazy thought but yeah... It's like this... Just went out at night for prata at Jalan Kayu... After that to YS Dam and further into the secluded space...

Little dark house

I see the expressway from where I am at

After that, went back to punggol jetty. Haven't been there for quite some time already. Seems like it is nicer than before. But more people fishing. And more policeman stationed there. Fun.

2008-03-21T15:25:00.016+08:00

Didn't update my blog... I know I'm bad... I got too addicted to facebook...

Went to watch "Be Kind Rewind" yesterday. Thought it would have been a great movie but it turned out to be rather a disappointment. Had some laughs but it was not enough.

Before that, had dinner at Swensens. Mr J was there. Haha. Someone was salivating.

My Marshmallow Latte

Went on a 2 day course. It was quite fun. And it really tells me that I need to work out liao~ Just doing some lifting and stuff and I got muscle ache all over. Jialat~!

Had lunch at the chinese restaurant before the last part of the course.

Been such a glutton that the food that appeared in front of me disappeared even before I remembered to take pictures... Haha...

And then of course there is the hotel stay. Really fun. I love staying in hotels.

Inside the hotel

View from my room

The random pictures from last week's adventure.

Red roses.

S wants all to know he's hot.

Thai food anyone?

2008-03-09T16:53:00.004+08:00

Went out to watch Waterhorse yesterday... It was supposed to be some nice show for children... But it got us in tears... Somewhat like watching Free Willy, only that the story was in the olden times...

After the movie, we did a little shopping and a whole lot of sitting in Coffeebean chilling and waiting for time to past... C was also reading up on her physics...

Met up with N around 6 at Raffles Shopping Centre... Another round of window shopping before heading to Millenia for dinner...

Outback was good... Great food... Though the waiting time is a little long... And they served us food for another table... Aiya... But I think I might be going back there soon...

I had the Alice Spring Chicken... Yum... Chicken breast meat topped with bacon, mushroom and cheese... I want to try the BBQ quarter chicken next!!

Went wine company again at Dempsey Road... Wow... Seems like everytime we were there, it was fun... But rather harmful to the body... Get drunk and high...

Another weekend gone... What to do... Life's like this...

2008-03-02T13:11:00.025+08:00

It's been a crazy life...

Work takes up 5 days... Weekends starts on friday night filled with bingeing, shopping, spending money... Sometimes, I just feel that I am living a 8-days in a week.

29th Feb 2008

Was originally really excited about that day... Once every four years... Previously, it wasn't that much of an issue to me... Turned out to be a disappointment in the end...

Headed out of office at 7 only. Dinner at Surf and Turf... Had never been there... But it wasn't that fantastic... The waiters and waitresses there are really slow and dun give attention to their patrons... However, the head waiter was quite delicious looking... And there was this klutz ang mo waiter... He dropped utensils the entire night... Amazing lor...

Had Steak Bordeaux (pronounced Steak Bodoh!)... Apparently, it was soaked in the red wine for 3 days... Wish I had specified to have mash potato... It wasn't bad... Every chew, there's wine taste oozing out... One of their specialty, Seafood Casserole, looks yummy and delicious too... Was super full after dinner...

1st March 2008

Went The Cathay to catch the movie The Leap Years... Before that, went past The British Takeout and bought Beer Battered Fish... Had lunch at Nihon Mara as well... Tried its black pork rice...

Not anything fantastic tasting la...

After lunch, walked around before the movie started... It was a nice show... Very touching... Cried and cried non-stop...

Headed over to Raffles City and walked around... But it was boring and went back to Suntec for dinner... Bak Kut Teh at Suntec basement food court again... Went back after dinner... Really tired and feeling the flu coming over me...

Took a picture of the Singapore Flyer...

I also bought shoes, chocolate, book... Haha... Major shopping damage...

2nd March 2008

Took piriton before I slept so I had a rude awakening... Had to go down to help carry grocery up...

Went to pray to the tiger god as well... Terrible coz it was rainy almost the entire day... And it was super crowded...

Met up with E for coffee session at night...

Yummy tiramisu and choco brownie... Sinful man...

2008-02-28T21:13:00.002+08:00

Taking 161 home from work is really terrible... Almost everyday, the 161 queue would be all the way to the back of the interchange... Why ah why ah?? SBS not working issit?? Anyway, I've feedback already... Hope it helps... Though I quite doubt it...

I am feeling tired... *yawnz* plan to sleep after i showered... But must do mask 1st... Hee...

2008-02-26T22:42:00.002+08:00

I've been doing quite a lot of dreaming...

I dreamt of you... I hope you know... Wish you understand...

Rained this morning... Hope after that the haze would clear up... Bad smelling air is giving me nausea...

Almost didn't wake up as my alarm clock did not ring... Still sleepy... And obviously, want to be in the dream with him...

2008-02-24T21:33:00.007+08:00

I just want to say...

OMG!!! I have been having too much fun!!! Dead shit in the future...

Friday
Had Fish & Co. for dinner. Yummy but very very filling. Damn full la!

Saturday

Reached home at 11am. Had breakfast at Pasir Ris White Sands... This weekend was the air show... The crowd was crazy la~! The queue was all the way to the end of Pasir Ris interchange... Mind you, it went around the MRT station ok...

After reaching home not long, headed out again to watch movie with C... Watched Juno... It was great... Love the movie, enjoying the music... It was cool...

After the movie, it was dinner at swensens and dessert and drinks at Timbre... Regret the dessert... A waste of money totally... Got high on Erdinger dark and white... Got home about 2am...

Sunday

Wanted to rest... But I have 2 pple jio-ed me for lunch... In the end, I had a combined lunch with C and L... Haha... Went to Lai Lai again...

After lunch, took a short walk in bugis and bought 3 pairs of socks... Gave C one for her mother... Saw JJ there as well... Haha...

Head to town after that for coffee session... Shared a muddy mud pie...

Went to Heeren and spend more money before heading home... I love playing golf on my phone...

Did I mention? I got my phone liao... P1i... Great shit... Am damn broke now though... Hur hur...

2008-02-20T22:12:00.001+08:00

Crazy crazy crazy...

I have a freaking headache...

Almost didn't get off the bus... No I did not fall asleep... I guess my brain stopped functioning...

2008-02-16T17:22:00.006+08:00

No valentine's date. But that's ok.

Went out yesterday with C... Haven't seen her for some time... It was great...

Dinner at Lai Lai Beef Noodle Shop again... Was there previously with PZ... The food standard seems to have fallen slightly... But still, I think it's good and affordable enough...
After dinner, it's shopping galore... Bought 2 new bras... Happy I have new ones... Bright colourful ones... Hee...

Saturday morning woke up early, went Tampines to watch movies... Slept at 1am but set my alarm to ring at 745am. But then a nightmare shocked me up early in the morning. And I can't sleep after that.

"Hope u're happy now... You bashed your way into my dreams... Making me sleepless..."

I remembered running... I ran and ran... Went into a lift and when the door opened, he was coming in, in a wheelchair... I saw him and ran past him... He gave chase in the wheelchair but yet, I still ran away... Heart pain... He lunged forward, grabbed me in his arms and the both of us fell onto the ground... He pinned me there... And then, I woke up...

Watched "Kungfu Dunk" and "Ah Long Pte Ltd" just now... 2 movies in one day... "Kungfu Dunk" is so crap... But "Ah Long Pte Ltd" is hilarious... A must-watch movie to watch is "The Leap Years"... Ananda is so shuai~!

Yummy... *droolz~*

Coffee and 2 teh-bings helping to keep me awake the whole day... I am practically falling asleep sitting up... *yawnz*

2008-02-10T11:57:00.000+08:00

The season of love...

I just love this music video la... So cute... Dedicated to myself (that random display of clumsiness) and to all my friends who are tripping, stumbling, sinking, tumbling in love... Hee hee...

~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~
So in love with you... Clumsy coz I'm falling in love...

2008-02-10T00:20:00.000+08:00

*Drew looks at me. I fake a smile so he won't see.*

Head out with PZ today... Great seeing her after so long of separation...

Went for lunch at Nihon Village at The Cathay basement... It was great... The super affordable sushi, the yummy dragon roll and grilled bacon wraps...

Great conversation and so lost track in time that we were actually late for the movie... Watched CJ7... Funny... And touching~! And cute~~!!

I fell down the stairs exiting the movie... In a way, I was glad there was no one in front of me (I didn't flatten anyone) but also there was no one to break my fall... So now, got a little sprain on my left ankle and bad friction on my right shin...

Doesn't look bad right? It is not that painful la... But it's the swelling that is a little worrying... Bought antiseptic spray and bandage from the pharmacy so I can dress it up...

Went for coffee break at TCC. I had iced minty mocha while PZ had lychee jazz... Yum...

Went over to marina and suntec for shopping, walk-walk and dinner... I bought a pair of pants from G2000... I think that it looks nice...

Had dinner at the loft foodcourt... Yummy curry chicken noodles... Lime juice to match as well...

After dinner at 9... Walked around somemore at Esplanade... Then head home on the bus...

2008-02-09T11:37:00.000+08:00

2008-02-08T22:49:00.000+08:00

2nd day of lunar new year... And also one week before V day... Seriously, I have no plans for that day yet... But I guess by the time that day comes, I will be so bushed that I definitely wanna sleep the day through...

Had coffee craving since yesterday... Drank 2 large mugs of coffee today already... Scalded myself coz the hot water splashed on my hand today... Super clumsy me...

1st stop today at my cousin's house... he has 2 very active and naughty doggies...

They ran around, looking for food and entertainment the entire time we were there... And they barked whenever they hear the lion dance troops... So cute...

Went to several places, some old some new... Got so sianz... So glad to get home at the end...

2008-02-07T20:51:00.000+08:00

6 Feb 2008

Lunar New Year Eve...

Yummy dinner...

Does it look scrumptious? Very very full after dinner man... Got fish la, prawn la, veg la, abalone, yummy chinese cabbage soup, shark fin soup... Plus sweet sweet wine and Breezer... Good food, good drinks... Such sin...

Even had fortune cookie for dessert...

My fortune: You are next in line for promotion in your firm.

LOL. Serious? I have my doubts... Slept quite early... Was pretty high... Need my energy for the next day as well...

7 Feb 2008

1st day. Woke up pretty late... Felt good coz get to sleep in... And I feel like I slept so much...

Woke up at 9 in the morning to only one message (surprise surprise...)

Took my time getting ready to go bai nian... Din see as many relatives today... But it's ok... Not that close to this side of the family anyway...

Had a terrible headache the entire day... Panadol doesn't seem to help... I really must make an appointment and see the doctor... Maybe he will prescibe me some anti-depressants to make it go away...

Another day of visiting to go... :)

2008-02-05T23:28:00.000+08:00

I want to watch "The Leap Years" and cry in the show... I love Ananda Everingham... He's cute... Yummy!

2008-02-03T16:41:00.001+08:00

I just love the anime Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles... Mostly it started because I loved watching Cardcaptor Sakura and most Clamp animes... And I love the love story between Syaoran and Sakura... And Mokona is so cute~!!

The song this week "Teardrops on my Guitar" by Taylor Swift. I first heard the song quite some time back and think that it is really a song from my heart. Unrequited love... Hah...

For those who love, those unloved and those in love...

2008-02-02T23:16:00.000+08:00

Finally got to watch 27 dresses... Been wanting to watch it ever since I saw the trailer last year... I guess it's because of Katherine Heigl... Love her in Grey's Anatomy and also Knocked Up... James Marsden is so cute too...

Nice movies all coming up... Wonder if I have the time to catch them all...

CJ7
Ah Long Pte Ltd
Juno
Meet the Spartans
The Waterhorse
The Spiderwick Chronicles

Rained again today... Had some craving for coffee but never got to get it... Sianz... I wore my jeans (too long and loose which drag the floor and become wet as well...) Pissed at the weather...

Had bubble tea but it's not that nice... DON'T ever try the bubble tea at B2 PS... Clumsy me spilled bubble tea on my clothes... Haiz... Went home early in the end... Reach home like at 8 lor..

Was at Serangoon walking to the interchange, then C pointed out this girl wearing only a shirt and just stockings underneath... Those sheer one ok... Disgusting la... No bottoms...

Fine la... You think I am a perv taking such photos? It is just that low class dressing I have to do that...

Anyway, I dyed my hair again... Not much change la... I always dyed back the same colour... I just like that colour lor...

Had craving for bak ku teh... Went to sim lim's basement food court and eat... Yum... Wanted to buy more things... Buy and buy and buy... Must stop the bad habit...

Update song tml... Looking forward to it... :)

2008-01-30T23:18:00.001+08:00

Bus accident. I think I am suay. So my dears dun meet me if u can. I dun want to bring my suay-ness to u.

Haven't been feeling right for the past 2 weeks. No idea why. Sian-ness to the max. When is it ending?

Stay home. Don't go out liao. But friday I still wanna go catch 27 dresses. Really really pray hard it'll be fine for the rest of the week.

2008-01-27T22:59:00.000+08:00

Nothing much to update... Go out and go out... Eat nice food... Drink nice drinks... Go shopping... But then... Forgot to take pictures!! Haha... I know some of you out there are disappointed... I will try to remember next time!

Because there's no pictures, no point dictating... Haha... Let me just harp on the new song for the week...

The first time I heard the song... He was the first on my mind... No idea why... The happiest is that after dinner that night, and we headed back and got in the car, then it started playing on the radio... Was it meant to be? I sure hope so...

NY NY visit again... Here's some pics!

Looks good huh... Too bad I did not finish coz had not much appetite... Feeling tired... Headed home immediately after dinner... Argh! I hate being sick...

~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~

You make me happy. But not that happy all the time.

2008-01-20T15:34:00.000+08:00

The week has gone by really fast but yet it felt so long for me... Now, weekday nights are spent going home and recharging... No one wanna go out as well... So only left with friday nights and saturday... Working life... Haiz...

Went to Vivo yesterday... New year coming wat... Time to get new clothes... But first, C had some craving for hotdogs... And so, we went to Superdog!

Yummy! Ordered my usual set again... Chili Cheese Dog... :P

We filled our stomach and gained an energy boost for some shopping to be done... Walked here and there... C bought a cardigan from Espirit and I bought a pair of cutesy black shorts from FOX... Wanted to get new underwear as well... So off to Tangs triumph counter...

We walked into many shops but not seeing many things that are nice... Surprisingly, Vivocity seems a little empty for a weekend that's so near to CNY... We guessed it's most likely because everyone has headed to Orchard instead out of curiosity of the newly opened tunnel...

C received a call and we had to head to Novena area (she had to go to TTSH for a while)... I went along but stayed in Square 2 to wait... Had traditional Killiney breakfast(at 5 in the evening) and walked around by myself abit...

She came back an hour later and we continue the quest of looking for new year clothes... Found a shop that sells vintage looking t-shirts... The Little Men and Little Misses kind... Plus many many... Even care bears as well... I will get them some day...

C bought 2 t-shirts... Really cute and she can wear them to school... I, in the meantime, have a hard time looking for a dress... In the end, I got a little white one which I can wear with black leggings...

Had clam chowder and fried shrimp for dinner at LJS... We then went off separate ways as she had to go back to the hospital and I went back home... Got "disturbed" by a citibank guy as I was paying bills and buying stamps...

He was just trying to help me by offering me some stamps which I would rather buy from SAM... Then ended up talking to him for about 15 min... My goodness, he said he stay at SK too... Hope I don't bump into him...

An A-level grad who chose insurance as a job, quitted because it was too easy for him and joined Citibank to get his momentum back? Sounds a bit bull-ish to me... But that's me la... I only think that's it's a waste he didn't think that education level is important... Maybe he would think so in the future.... I only hope by then, it's not too late for him...

FIRST TIME - Lifehouse

We're both looking for something
We've been afraid to find
It's easier to be broken
It's easier to hide

Looking at you, holding my breath
For once in my life I'm scared to death
I'm taking a chance letting you inside

I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as a scar under my skin
Like being in love, she said, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Whenever I'm alone with you tonight
Like being in love with you for the first time

The world that I see inside you
Waiting to come to life
Waking me up to dreaming
Reality in your eyes

Looking at you, holding my breath
For once in my life I'm scared to death
I'm taking a chance letting you inside

I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as a scar under my skin
Like being in love, she said, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Whenever I'm alone with you tonight
Like being in love with you for the first time

We're crashing
Into the unknown
We're lost in this
But it feels like home

I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as a scar that's under my skin
Like being in love, she said, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Whenever I'm alone with you tonight
Like being in love with you for the first time

Like being in love she said for the first time
Like being in love with you the first time

~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~
Exactly how I feel...

2008-01-12T12:54:00.000+08:00

Make that Friday night the one to look forward to...

Finally went to MOF for dinner... Their japanese food is not bad...

After that, went shopping for low heels... Need it rather badly... I'm so glad I can aim and shoot fast and get out of there...

Decided to go check out how was Timbre as well... Walked over to and find long queue... Headed to courtyard at Novus in the National Museum of Singapore... It was rather cool... Not too bad the ambience over there... Really relaxing and chill... Had a few cocktails (which taste next to nothing when compared to Sake)...

Raspberry Sizzle @ Novus

When it closed, headed to Le Meridien to join N and MD... MX was there too... Sat at the open space hawker centre and eat char kway tiao... Yum! Had some great laughs... Always so when N is around... Haha... Even saw a fight between 2 women... No idea why also... But I think alcohol make them stupid... (*Oops... Though I drink too but... it's just different for me...)

Went home at 3... So tired I fell asleep on the cab...

*I am really very silly. Silly, silly, silly me...

2008-01-09T00:41:00.001+08:00

161.

Stood on the expressway today... It was cooling and windy... The bus broke down... Not my day... The red undies don't work... Maybe it's me...

Sat on the bus while it was dark... Feel so calm and peaceful... I like sitting in the dark... Just me... Maybe you...

Thunderstorming outside... Hope it stops in the morning... Thinking of him... What's wrong with me?

Dinner at New York New York (AMK)... This is their seafood platter for 2... Not bad... But I think the one at Fish & Co. is still better... But cold crab is yummy... I love crab...

Went home tired and rested immediately... Saturday would be another long day.

5 Jan 2008
Out by 9+ in the morning for breakfast and shopping after that... BK breakfast for 2 saturdays consecutively... I hope it doesn't become a routine... I don't like BK that much... Should have gone for Ya Kun...

Head to Vivo after that... Caught "The Darjeeling Limited"... In a way I think it is a hidden humour kind of show... I just find the show funny... Too bad no one seem to think the same as me... :(

Went shopping as well... Bought a new bag, 2 blouses and a pair of heels... Minor damage... I need another pair of low heels... Probably get it this week...

Reach home about 8 feeling so drained...

6 Jan 2008

And a "surprise" bday celebration by my OSC darlings... So sweet...

For those who didn't notice, I got 2 same bday cake... Haha... Coincidental...

New Years' Day...

Stayed home... Slept late, woke up even later... Did ironing for the entire family... Stood for 2 hours straight... After lunch, fell asleep again... I almost couldn't make it out of bed after that... Dragged myself into the bathroom and started running cold shower... Felt much better after that...

Tml is the start of school for the young kids... A brand new year... To me it feels just like any other day... But nevertheless, the end of one chapter is promise of the start of a new page...

This week's song is "Don't Stop The Music" by Rihanna. The other song from her album which I think is nice. (The other being the cursed song "Umbrella".) Love its pumping beat music... Great one... Forever a song in my heart I will remember hearing it on my happy day...

Sharing this with you, Nik.

Met up with C in the later afternoon... Was deciding between XiaoLongBao La Mian or Indonesian... Ended up at Sanur at Taka...

Yummy food right? I am the last "girl" standing... Finishing up all the food... After that, even had bubble tea... Fatty fatty!!

Shopping shopping after that... It was fun... Shopping is quite relaxing... Feel abit of stress falling off my shoulders... Tried on a short pink floaty looking skirt that reveals my fat thighs... Hahaha...

Orchard road is still that crowded... Still those people who dress up nice nice just to take picture with the Xmas decos along Orchard road... Obstruct people only... Haiz...

Went home feeling like a zombie...

Christmas is coming... No feeling of Xmas still... Doubt it's gonna be any different in the next few days... That's fine by me... I just don't wanna be a scrooge and spoil Christmas for other people...

The song this week, "Christmas Don't Be Late" by Alvin & the Chipmunks... Just enjoy and get into the festive mood already...

2007-12-22T21:21:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, thanks to my lovely who treated me to the best japanese sushi in 5 years time... Cheap and delicious... Worth visiting again soon... Its tuna and salmon is so much fresher than Sakae or Suki...

Yummy california handroll and the recommended "Dragon Roll".

My very early birthday treat... So thanx alot!!

Today, went to watch "Alvins and the chipmunks"... Haha... Theodore is so cute...

I really think the Rihanna song is really cursed... Everytime I hear it, the next moment, it starts raining... Haha... Headed to Heeren and we saw Vocaluptous... The female singer is my poly lecture teaching language and communication. Went up to her and talked for a while...

Then on the way to Far East, it started raining heavily... Luckily, we brought umbrellas and used them... Had a nice time walking in the rain... Haha... It sort of clears up the streets a little... The thing is after we headed into the shoppin center, it stopped raining... Spend a while walking around and window shopping...

Wanna get a watch for so long... Still haven't got it... Haiz... Need to get one soon... Head home that time, it started raining again... Can't believe it... Hahaha... What a day... Shag out by 9pm...

2007-12-20T22:40:00.001+08:00

Yesterday's not a good day for me...

2 words: Dead. Tired.

Had my dinner at Suntec's Pizza Hut. I got bitten 4 big bites by a mosquito... Totally amazed at how an air-conditioned restaurant in the basement can have mosquito lor... The food wasn't that nice... Not piping hot... Many customers complained... Must the oven...

After dinner, we were considering to go Max Brenner for chocolate (yum!) or Timbre for its live band... We headed to Esplanade and saw that there were no space.... Then we took bus down to Timbre... It wasn't that bad la... The live band played great music... Had a bucket of Heinekens...

I was quite wound up due to work... When I took that 1st sip of beer, I suddenly had the feeling that it's off work... Time to relax... Was surprised... I guess I was stressed... We had strawberry champagne to finish off the night... Was slightly tipsy...

Ended up walking to have prata... Yum... Super unhealthy but I still love it... Reach home about 3+ and fell into a deep sleep...

Woke up late this morning and I feel good... I miss facebook, MS and NP... Haiz... Work work work...

2007-12-16T15:14:00.000+08:00

It has been a busy week... Work is piling up but I am better at handling them... Routine is the best solution in this case...

Carrie came down to woodlands just to have dinner... Haha... I know it's quite far... Like "bo hua" when travelling time is more than the time we spent having dinner... But then, now you know how I feel when I meet u every week at Tanjong Pagar le anot? :D

We had thai food... Yummy milk tea!! It's very reddish in colour though... And Tom Yum soup!! Green curry prawn rice... YUM!!

Met up another time later in the week at Swensens... It's been so long since we're last there... I was super hungry and had yummy burger...

Watched "Good Luck Chuck" on Saturday night... Midnight movie actually... It was so funny and yet some parts are touching... Jessica Alba is very pretty... I think I said that before... I just wanna say it again can? Haha...

This week's song is "Tattoo" by Jordin Sparks... Nice song... For those who are the tattoos of my life... I love you guys...

My horoscope for today... Sounds so...

In love, you'll hesitate to make a choice: you'll not really know whom you love or whom you want to love!
Obstacles of all kinds will arise in your work, but you'll succeed in overcoming them.
You won't be in your top form; take some rest and things will go better right away.
Think twice before deciding to lend your money to persons who are not exactly what they try to appear.

Haiz... I'll update new song for my blog tml... Or maybe I have to change it to the weekends... Really much too busy and tired in the weekdays... Need.... To.... Sleep....

2007-12-09T17:53:00.000+08:00

Watched The Golden Compass yesterday... Had my eyes on it for several months le, ever since I first saw the trailer... The entire movie was nice... Though I had a strange sense of emptyness at the end... I really hope the sequel will come out... Overall, I would say it did not fall short of my expectations, neither was it any more extraordinary than I had expected... One part just made me and C laughed so much and that was really inappropriate of us... Haha...

Before the movie, we went shopping... I bumped into 2 people I know in the same store la... So coincidental... My ex-classmate was shopping with her mother... My ex-hallmate was shopping with... yup, her mom too... Guess it's something like "Bring your mommy out" day... Haha...

After shopping, we had dinner from Shih Lin in the basement... Yummy mushroom cheese crepe and seafood tempura... Took a walk in the bookshop as well... I saw a book titled "Chindia"... Just funny la...

Was doing some online love match... They both sound so prospectful and optimistic that it's hard to believe... I just have to walk and see...

Friday...

Drunken man in school, alcohol poisoning... In mid-afternoon somemore... Crazy...

After work, met up with N and A at The Central. Had Yoshinoya and ice milk tea... Yummy... It's always funny with N and A around... Can't stop laughing... Apparently, there were 3 ladies sitting at the next table eavesdropping on our conversation and laughing at our jokes...

Met up with C after that and we headed down to Dempsey Road and settled down with some red wine... The 1st bottle was still fine... Rather robust and I liked it alot... We were having the nicest time in the best ambience... Cooling night, clear skies, red red wine, great company, even better company...

Our conversation escalates to the point of tipsyness teasing and lotsa of laughing... N and A made me laugh so much my chest hurts and air is trapped inside me... Mixed together with alcohol makes me wanna puke...

At the 2nd bottle, we were all getting high and doing very very silly things... One of the funny thing... Click to listen...

There was a family at the next table. In the beginning, I thought that it was weird that the parents would bring their children to a place that serves mainly alcohol. Then as the night went on, the mother got more and more drunk... C was doing some eavesdropping... She said that apparently, the mom is getting a divorce with the dad coz he was doing the maid...

The guy sitting beside her was the beau... Her eldest daughter was siding her dad and they got into some sort of argument... The mom was drinking so much too... There was a big scene where she threw a wine glass at the floor between our table... Poor N were the nearest person to the table and we were rolling our eyes at them lor...

The woman even got into a verbal argument with people from the other table and it almost became a physical one... Stupid person... Wanna spoil other people's night... Just because your life is not great doesn't mean you can spoil others... The kids are the ones whom I pity the most... Stupid mom lose face man... And that guy she was with... Can't even control her... If I was him, I would have done more to stop her... Me and C both agreed that he "eats soft rice".

After we're finished with 2 bottles of red, we headed down to The Cathay's Starbucks and continued indulging in oblivion... Haha... More talk and crazy camera time...

Went home around 2... Fell into a deep sleep...
