Grouchy.
Shopping and more shopping! Rather good buys today: Pretty heels for 9.90 and I finally jumped on the Little Miss tees bandwagon. Bought Little Miss Chatterbox and Little Miss Late, both oh-so-very-true of me.
Tuesdays are gelare waffle days! Haven had one for so long man. Sinful considering it's dinner and super messy. I stained my top with e melted choc overload ice cream that dirtied my hands. Sigh. Clumsy.
Banana plus mocha chip ice cream is a good combi! Shall try that next time. =)
What better place to camwhore than the toilet? Should have went to Hyatt's instead though. It's so much cleaner.
Recent bouts of migraines are making me grumpy. May the gloominess go away soon. Amen.

What do you want?
The last week of holidays! Time sped up on me, how did 3 months pass by so quickly? And I'll b so busy working this week to do anything much. Damn. I must make these remaining 6 days happening somehow.
Photos update! Uploaded the photos and made collages on a whim. I think I shall print some of them out and do up something to prettify my room. It's been too dull and impersonal for too long.
Gloria Jeans on 23rd July, last monday. Headed down to the Raffles City Branch after exploring the shops in Haji Lane for the first time. Had always hung out at the eateries but never ever been into the shops. And omg, what a surpirse! I love the concepts those stores have and there are always little bits of something special in each and every little world. A pity I didnt take any photos there. Should have brought some of those intricate little bits home. Might consider holding my 21st in Pitch Black though. Arty farty. =)
I think this place can be our official hangout, right Essy? Chilling out and chit chatting once in a while, reading some books. Our little piece of peaceful haven. Heh.
Out with Bak gua and Ms K ytd! Love those 2 girls. We're like a bunch of sian char bors that I bet every storekeeper will be happy to get rid of us since we're super loud and crazy. hahaha. We're just too cheery and jovial la. Not to mention talkative and noisy. Teehee.
Got a few items for school, and I wish I had unlimited amounts of money. I need more clothes!
HK cafe for dinner after Bak gua left. The manager is super funny la can. Stupid Ms K requested him to take a photo with me somemore. -.- He was the one which Bong and me crapped with the other time too. Haha. So enthusiastic and nice le.
Kayteevee was the last activity of the day, which left me drained and suffering a splitting headache. I think I'm really getting old, unable to handle late nights as well as last time. Anything less than 7 hours of sleep will almost certainly leave me with a headache of varying magnitudes at the end of the day. Sigh. My sudden sombre mood surprised Ms K somewhat, especially since I was bubbly all day up til that point. haha.
[EDIT] Oh. And we chanced upon an event SHE was having in the function hall of Kbox. Only managed to get a shaky pic due to the curious crowd gathered around the door. To Ms K: Xiaozhu ai wo orh! LOL. [/EDIT]
Nevertheless, I had a great time! More outings like this please, you people who stay in hall!

I guess it's the end.
Went Kandi Bar for our usual Friday night chilling out ytd!
We realised the place wasnt too conducive for talking so we shifted to Iguana's after that. E place's got the best Margaritas man. Bumped into Leslie and his friend and we chit chatted the night away until we couldnt keep our eyes open anymore, and left for home.
Summer seems amazingly short this holidays. Been having rainy and cooling weather for quite some time now, and while I like it, I still miss the hot hot days when we could just go Sentosa and bake under the sun. School's starting in a week and I'm half happy and half sad. No more impromptu outings; yay to ending e feeling of uselessness of lazing ard at home. =)
Caught Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix on Wed with my mummy dearest and i have only one comment about it: Umbridge should just die. Bah. Just finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and cried abit at some of the parts. Sigh. Such a pity, such a pity. The dueling scenes were brilliantly written, and I could feel excitement rippling through me while I engrossed myself in the book. I will miss the anticipation of yet another Harry Potter book, before realising that it has ended.
A very very long entry coming up when I decided to stop procrastinating and upload e photos from my cam. Heh.

It's the simple things which people think unnecessary that matters.
Been on a short hiatus while I attended HSS FOC 07. Brought back many memories, especially of e FOC of my batch. I'm so happy the group of us are still contacting and are good friends til now, 2 years from the camp. Had much fun fooling around and doing sai kang in the meantime. Quality bonding that normal kayteevee or shopping outings could never replace. =)
The best part of the whole camp was of course e Amazing Race, of which I was IC of and conveniently placed us good friends in one station, the kayteevee. Had such fun singing and antagonizing the freshies while persuading them to use their tokens. I'm so happy that I estimated the time so accurately, and after all the fun e freshies had, I just kept telling xunning, it's really 138 bucks well spent. heh.
Went out for supper with some of e seniors on the third night since rose drove, and got to know them much better. They had fun teasing me about how incessantly I seem to be able to talk and chit chat, and owed my headaches to my chatters. I think I was super slack. The whole camp I didnt take much public transport at all, not even the shuttle bus they chartered, only cars and lorries. haha.
Fourth day was Cluedo, where all of us main cast were "nominated" as the Best Actor/Actress/Supporting Actress/Supporting Actor. I was positively glowing at the end of the day when they applauded after my scene, or their gasps when the whole thing unfolded. Satisfaction 100% man.
Get-together was at the Alumni Club and that was when all of us dressed up and I took super alot of photos!
The food was good and the skits performed by the freshies were hilarious. Heh. Love 'em.
After having dinner at the XO fish head beehoon place, I went home and concussed til 930am the next day. Was supposed to head to Zouk but I really couldnt bring myself to dress up to go anywhere, even though I predicted he would be there. Just couldnt be bothered anymore. Went alley bar for a while ytd after work though. Nothing much.
The weekend before the camp was spent with da clique and bong bong! Met up with da clique in Daybed bar again, where we lazed around and crapped. We should do this more often, catching up and chilling out in the midst of all the madness around us. =)
We are all closet camwhores. Heh. Only went home in the morning since I was dead beat and yet didnt have the urge to go home. Wandered around in town for a while before settling ourselves in e HK cafe where we decided to wait for e first bus home.
Steamboat next with bong bong! Caught up with the neverending drama in her life while we gorge ourselves on fabulous food in preparation for my camp, which as I predicted, didnt have much edibles. Headed to haji lane and found a quaint little cafe called cafe claire, and had some weird drinks and this dessert that bong insisted was called "muahahahaha". Hilarious. It wasnt too bad and the chocolate ice cream they used was good, not the normal walls kind. Yum. The cleopatra drink bong had was delicious too! So going to order it the next time I'm there.
Yet to catch Harry Potter and Die Hard 4.0. Any takers?

Hungry.
I wish I can have some pieces of baguette with butter spread on them to munch on now. =(
My mood fluctuates with the tides.
It's e farewell dinner for Samantha, Leo and Adeline ytd at Satsuma. We made it a joyous affair, and even prepared a cake for them. Oh well, I guess people come and go. Sigh.
Light shopping after that with Essy, and I resisted e temptation of a pretty dress that I am missing right now. I need to save!
Labels: rants
I'm sucha sucker.
Lunched with des, bassy and his colleague. I wonder why of my 2 years spent in the vicinity, I've never been to ABC market. The food is pretty good, the western that we had was of a generous portion and it's cheap! heh. Can frequent there next time.
Stupid des and bassy, being the only girl at the table doesnt mean that you guys have the license to joke on me okay! bah.Headed to town after that with Essy, and it was her SOS at Fabian's, chilling at Bakerzin and shopping!
OMG at my super act atas pic! haha.
I introduced her to the wonderful heaven that TF is, while getting myself a pretty top at a mere 24 bucks. beams. Got a dress from Daytripper also, damnit, cause I just couldnt resist the cheerfulness of it. New black pumps too, to replace e one that just got itself spoilt, and thus end shopping for the day. I need a new keychain though.
+++
I could feel my lips curling upwards by itself again, and this is not good. It wasnt supposed to be so easy for me to change my mind, and why did it always have to happen when I was determined? But, oh well, thinking about his tone of voice on me still turns my legs into mush. SIGH.

Hi, cynicism. Haven't heard from you for a while.
I never thought I'd say this, but [[Transformers]] is really an awesome movie. None of those brainless fighting I'd expected. Instead, it's filled with action and a compelling storyline that makes you want to continue watching. Subtle puns at the States' line of defence and President was pretty funny, and omg, is Megan Fox hot or what. *drools* The way the machines transformed just prompted comments like "So cool!" out of me, not to mention how I embarrassingly dropped jaw when that irritating little portable disc player transformed into a robot and back again.
Travelled to east again. Slacked awhile at Essy's place, and finally had a good look at her room. I like it, cosy without being squeezy, very comfy. =) Chatted with her friendly parents over dinner and then travelled down to Beach Cabana at ECP to chill.
I like the place quite alot. The music is not too noisy, in fact they are pop songs to which we grooved happily to; the food is delicious, melt-in-your-mouth baked potatoes and yummy chicken wings; the overall ambience makes it the perfect place to chill out. If not for my rush to go home before I miss my last bus, I'd've gladly sat there, alone even, and just think about stuff. The rain which started just before we decided to leave only made the place and mood more relaxed.

Clubbing on Friday only made us even more aware of how boring the whole scene is getting. And please don't get me started on the bitches who pretty much contributed to our major dis-satisfaction of the night. Went straight home and slept. Quitting clubbing for real, although I love Phuture's air now. So much fresher and I can actually smell the kind of perfume people have on themselves, can you imagine?
I hope the new week will be better, especially with my latest resolution which I swore I would keep. Amen.

Listen to your heart, and be true to yourself. Tough?
Surprise half-day for Essy today so lunch became a faraway affair at Chinatown. Finally had the chance to bring her to my fav la mian place tucked behind a row of stalls, where she can get a taste of my legendary-object-of-fierce-debate red bean pancake. Please ask Bassy to bring you to his stall so you can say how much better my red bean pancake is to his face! =P
Real food meaning authentic and delicious la mian. This is how minced meat la mian should taste like okay.
Da red bean pancake. It's unattractive appearance does no justice to its yumminess!
Window shopped for a while before heading down to Party World for e reccee of e FOC. Kherray was my escort of that trip, and thanks to her, we managed to coerce e guy to give us a special rate for the room. yay! With some time on our hands, we decided to be tourists of chinatown for a day and walked around e many alleys and streets hidden the vicinity.
Looking at this photo, don't you feel transported back into the 80s? We came across this lane, somewhere near Ann Siang Hill, where there were alot of elderly selling junk on the floor. It's sorta like a really really old-fashioned flea market. Super old school.
Then it was my last min recall to work, and amazement at how irresponsible people can be. I need to be more aware of talk around me too, before I die without knowing any reason why.

Catching up.
It's been late dinners and chill out sessions at Coffee Club for me these few days. First with Bong, whom I havent caught up with for damn long. hehe. So happy that Life's been so good for you babe. I could literally feel happiness oozing out from you!
Our dinner at HK cafe. The new lychee drink is damn good! Blended lychee with lychee juice and ice. And the beancurd skin with prawn thing was so nice that we ordered another plate of it. Yummy heaven. heh. Plus my newly received batch of jellies. Fruity this time round.
Then it was with Veron. =) Went back to Coffee Club since Swensen's was too crowded. Confessed, admitted and decided on alot. Regrets are really not something to brood on; what you get are only sighs and mind-boggling "what-ifs".
Twice in a row at Coffee Club having Strawberry Garden tea with honey. I think I might just get addicted to that place.
Ytd was lunch at Essential Brew with Essy and Bassy (they rhyme!), shopping in town at Ralph Lauren/Mng/DFS/Borders, and dinner at Arab Street! Tried so hard to get Essy to take some pictures with me, which that vain girl plain refused to since she was in specs. These all are that I took! A measly pile compared to the usual camwhore galore.
The last picture's taken in DFS's Ralph Lauren while Bassy tried on his tops. I like the lighting and the deco of the place. Tons of people speaking in Jap and I amused and entertained Essy by translating. hahaha. Maybe I could work there sometime, after I really got a hang of the language.
More damage courtesy of Mng. Bought the black dress and handbag. The two tunics were tempting but I mustn't shop anymore! I psychoed myself that I feel a burning sensation on my thigh where my pockets are, since they are burning a big hole. *lame* LOL.
Lunch with Essy later, reccee at Chinatown and maybe a movie after. I'm out!

Maybe love is really only for companionship.
"one of the greatest fears we have is the fear of loneliness, especially the loneliness that we feel when we are without a lover.
This fear traps many of us into unfulfilling or destructive relationships, or leads us into pursuing the wrong person just to AVOID being on our own."

It's sad how people lose their simplicity through life.
Been having bad days at work recently. I wonder if it's only me. Accused by one of not doing as I was told, when I did, and another of arguing when I was trying to rectify the problem. And the thing I hate most in the whole wide world is to be maligned, and I had to go through that twice in a row. Coupled with super last minute recalls for work that screwed all my plans up, and left me with almost no time for dinner, I must say I got the worst work week of the year so far.
Vented by bitching to Veron before meeting the guys and heading to daybed bar for dearest Yinghui's 21st!
Happy birthday babe. Sorry I had to leave early. Hope you had a blast! =)
Headed to Butter Factory after drinking and met up with Esther, Bassy and Des. We declared ourselves too old for clubbing after that night, getting bored of the place, crowd and music after a mere 2 hours. Gone were e days when we will stay until the club closes, asking for water at the bar... *erhem* Anyway, time for a new nightspot/night activity. Too bad the smoking ban was just implemented. Maybe we'll give it another shot? Maybe...
Yonghe again after leaving. I'm growing to love it. I really think it's good, especially because it's also light enough for supper, unlike bak ku teh which can get heavy sometimes. Chitchatted for close to 2 hours before leaving for home. Was sucha chore going home from the east. Des sent the 2 easterners home before dropping me and Bassy near his house to catch a cab. I swear I was so tired I was collapsing in the backseat of Des's car on his way home. Sigh.
This come my bad luck part 2. I forgot my keys and my phone died. I had to call my bro from a payphone which is pretty far away and he was so reluctant since I woke him from slp. Pissed and panicking, I almost cried. =( But got home safely in the end and slept a meagre 4 hours of slp before waking up for my amazing race tryout today, which is pretty much a flop. Tons of stuff to revise and yes, that translates to more work.
Changed and headed out with Veron! Havent been hanging out with this girl one on one since forever. I love talking to her and it's just easy pouring out stuff to her that I don't really tell others, cause I know she'll just listen and not judge me based merely on some random thoughts. Love ya babe. Had dinner at Shunjuu, and how I miss the food there!
Had never-ending food and I had to voice out my surrender and raise my white flag. They really thought we were black holes! Maybe I do snitch abit of food here and there during work but it's burnt off soon, but not when I'm sitting there and doing nothing but stuffing my face! =)
Chinaone after that and visited bong bong, who I finally managed to date and catch up with. MISS YOU LEH AUNTIE. Stop slimming down!
