Something happened to my favourite thai twins. I can't believe it. I thought such things only occur in dramas. Oh my gosh...

I am very sad.

Will I see them again?

Spent the morning at Woodlands Library to settle my fines and borrow some books. Was browsing through some travelling books and I was so fascinated by the beautiful and breath-taking sights of other countries. It has always been my dream to travel around the world but because of financial woes, I don't think this dream of mine will come true any sooner... Anyway, it doesn't hurt much to fantasize ya? So, let's start dreaming now... LOL!

My first stop would be...

HONGKONG! I don't have to tell you why I love this amazing city. Hahaha! Moreover, it's the cheapest among the other places which I want to go. Once arrived, I'll start my search for Andy Lau and I won't return until I find him. Keke... Just joking lar... Do I sound like that perverse Yang LiJuan? haha... I'm not as psychotic as her. =P

Sidenote: I just heard that my beloved Andy Lau will be coming to Singapore to promote his new album soon!!!! Ah!! I missed the opportunity to see him last year because of 'A' Levels and I definitely won't miss it this year. Oh my gosh! Haha... So happy!

Anyway, after HongKong,

I'll fly to AUSTRALIA! I won't tell you why I'm so in love with Down Under. It's a long story. haa! I want to visit the famous Sydney Opera House! :)

Following that, I'll go to...

ALASKA! Since young, I've always wondered how eskimos look like and I want to see how they do their cooking under the extreme cold weathers. How on earth do they boil water huh? That's the question that is bothering me since I read about eskimos years ago... Heh...

Finally, my last stop would be...

FRANCE! The only reason why I want to go there is because Johnny Depp lives there lar. Heh... Maybe if I'm lucky enough, I'll get to meet him and get his signature. Keke! Fat hope...

OK, end of my wonderful dream. It's time to wake up and face reality... oh man...

Oh yah, next time remind me not to take the bus when it's time for those idiotic kids to go home from school. They were wrestling in an overcrowded bus and worse still, they reek of sweat and perspiration. Erk! I didn't know that pressing the bell in the bus was so fun until I saw how they pressed the bell. For each stop, I can hear at least 5 times the bell rang. What the heck?! And the most irritating thing was that they started stepping on my feet like nobody's business when they were struggling to alight. Next time I'll wear high heels and step on every single foot I see on the bus. Hmph! The only consolation I had was that none of the little pests was donning Rulang Primary uniform. Heh heh... Gave me a little bit of pride because it's my alma mater. =)

Went to NUS yesterday with HuiMin for our medical checkup. Wah, I thought it was too early for us to go at 8am but when we reached, the whole place was already bombarded with people. In the end, we had to wait for 2 long and dreadful hours before the whole thing was completed. The doctor said I'm healthy except that my skin and nose are too sensitive. As if I don't know... Duh... I had my X-ray done for the very first time and it was scary. The radiographer was so impatient and fierce. She was scolding me the moment I stepped into the room for not tying my hair and when I placed my hands at the wrong position, she showed her frustrations so obviously. Hurhur... Maybe she had a bad day... =X

HuiMin and I while waiting to register. I was super tired lah... No wonder my smile looked a bit fake.. Hahaha... =P

Did I mention about the Fantastic 4 movie which I watched the other day with Edward? I don't know whether it was too boring or because I was too tired... I fell asleep halfway through the movie and only woke up in time for the ending. Heh... First time in my entire life I dozed off during a movie. Aha... I felt the first part was better than the second one. Hmmm...

Think I've written quite a lot of chunk now. Shall watch Pride and Prejudice now. Heex... I like Tom Hollander( the guy who acted in Pirates of the Caribbean as Lord Cutler Beckett)... Too bad he only has a small part in the movie.

Till then. =)

God took the strength of a mountain,

The majesty of a tree,

The warmth of a summer sun,

The calm of a quiet sea,

The generous soul of nature,

The comforting arm of night,

The wisdom of the ages,

The power of the eagle's flight,

The joy of a morning in spring,

The faith of a mustard seed,

The patience of eternity,

The depth of a family need,

Then God combined these qualities,

When there was nothing more to add,

He knew His masterpiece was complete,

And so, He called it ... Dad

Fleur and WenXiu came to my house yesterday and we made Sushi! So fun can! Haha... Fleur and I first went to Sheng Siong to buy the ingredients before heading to my house.

The tuna was exceptionally fagrant and the egg was delicious. Haha...

Ok, this is not part of the ingredients but I love the otahs from Sheng Siong! So cheap and nice! :D

Below are the results of our hardwork! Haha... It was fun and exciting trying to make the sushi. Though the sushi didn't look nice, it was delicious nonetheless. Heehee... =P

Sometimes I feel quilty for having too much fun. I don't know.

Today is the second day of my work at Sheng Siong as cashier and I feel like my bones are going to break soon. What the heck... I had to carry cartons of beer and soft drinks from 3pm-11pm and worse still, some people buy 10kg of rice and I have to carry it for them. I really admire those middle-aged aunties who can carry them like nobody's business. I really feel like quitting but no, it's not the suffering that I can't stand. Instead, it's the way that my fellow colleagues treat me that is bothering me. Just because I'm an 'A' level holder doesn't mean they have to boycott me or something eh? Most of them act as if I'll jeopardise their careers. Duh!

I really, REALLY, feel like quitting my cashier job. But, I need money to buy things. Haish... Look at my shopping list and you'll understand...
1. New pair of jeans
2. Sandals
3. Sling Bag
4. Wallet (I still yearn for that Louis Vuitton wallet but that's unaffordable. Haa!)
5. Clothes, clothes and more clothes...
6. Pirates of Caribbean 1 DVD
7. Andy Lau concert DVD
8. Memory card for my digicam
9. The Tiger's Child by Torey Hayden(yes, I'm still searching for it. LOL)
That's all. I hope I won't have to add on to this list because I'm going to be way too broke. Argh!

I need to sleep now. Muscles are aching and eyelids are dropping. Till then! =)

Sometimes, I feel that God is making fun of me like nobody's business. Haish...
Nevermind, I guess there's a reason for everything eh? Anyway, Karen and I went for cell group yesterday after church. We did a survey to find out what our spiritual gifts are. Mine was the gift of mercy. Whatever that means, I can't remember. Oh well...

We took this pic in ACJC's toilet. LOL! Nothing better to do lah.

Went to Jurong Point in the morning and bought 2 DVDs - Pirates of Caribbean 2 and Pride & Prejudice. So excited with my new movies! Just finished watching Pirates 2. Ok, I know I'm super slow but ya... I finished it finally! I feel that the 3rd part was the most interesting one but anyway, all 3 are superb because there's Johnny Depp in it! Haha...

Found a few photos of the 2 most attractive and sweetest men on earth. Haha! Don't blame me, I'm just bored... =P

I simply heart Johnny Depp and Andy Lau. Hahaha...

Till next time. =)

Finally managed to clear my messy tables once and for all. Threw away almost 2 huge bags of rubbish. I never knew I was keeping so much junk in my room all this while. Haa...

Here are my cleared but still quite messy tables. LOL!

I seriously need to clear my bookshelf too. But I can't bear to throw away all my notes and textbooks. Heh... Anyone wants used textbooks? I can sell them at a super low price! :)

Met up with Fleur yesterday at Jurong Point. We went to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 3. This is the second time I'm watching and I'm still confused about the show. But I enjoyed myself throughout the movie lah. Went to shop around after the movie and I bought a white blouse from FOX. Heex... So happy with my new shirt. =) There're sales everywhere and it's so tempting lar... Aiyoh... I must deposit my tuition money into the bank as soon as possible if not I'll spend them all away on useless things. Haa...

I wanted to blog about someone but decided not to in the end. First, he might be reading my posts. Second, it's not good to bad-mouth others eh. I can only say that I'm blardee pissed off with him and I will have nothing to do with him in future. Whatever. Get lost, loser.

OMG! Heard from ZiXian that my favourite thai twins from Lakeside are down with Hand foot mouth disease. Oh gosh, hope they're doing fine now. Thank goodness it's school holidays now and they won't have to miss any lessons. Haiyoh... scary...

Very tired. Shall take a nap now.

Goodbye - Air Supply

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have much more
I can feel your heart and I simpathize
And I'll never criticize
All you've ever meant to my life

I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
i don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but goodbye

You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure i'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but goodbye

Each time I listen to this song, I'll feel sorrow and hurt inside my heart. How many times do we have to say goodbye to the people we love? Why do we have to meet and then be forced to separate from each other? Goodbye is just a simple word and yet it carries such a heavy meaning. But, I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to someone I love so very much. Memories fade, it's been 6 months already, but the regrets and guilt stay on... perhaps, for life? I don't know...

Argh. Nevermind, sad stuffs aside, I've got lots of things to do these few weeks. So glad I'm now jobless except for 2 tuiton kids. If not I'll die of exhaustion even before school starts. Hah!
List of things that I need to do by these 2 weeks:
- Go for medical checkup at NUS
- Go for driving orientation course
- Set test papers for my tuition kids
- Clear my room
- Collect money from my ex-tuition kid (hmph!)

Oh yah, I drove to Orchard yesterday with my instructor beside me. It's so fun putting up the "P" plate instead of the "L" plate. Haha.. Drove through PIE, and then AYE and finally CTE. Woah, it was so scary to drive at 90km/h for a newcomer like me. Was so glad when I finally reached Orchard. Thank goodness I'm still in one piece. LOL!

Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer,
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there...

Went to Newton Circle last night with WenXiu and XianHui to have supper. We took taxi all the way from my house to Orchard to pick Wenxiu up and then went on to Newton Circle since XianHui has about $60 worth of taxi voucher that will expire today. Haha... So fun to travel around in a taxi instead of the usual MRT. Anyway, the food was alright. Quite expensive also...

These are the Tiger Prawns! Cost about 10 bucks each. Didn't taste very good anyway...

My favourite! The stingray has a different taste from the one I had at Marche but it's nice anyway. I love the chilli!

This stuff has a weird name. "Chut Chut"... haha... You're supposed to suck the meat out from the shell. Didn't really like it and it was way too spicy lah. Had to buy 2 cups of sugarcane in the end man. =S

After supper, we went to Orchard Cineleisure for KBox. We sang till 3am in the morning. Wah... damn tired lah.

This is the first time I ordered alcoholic drinks at KBox. I ordered Vodka with Sprite. Didn't really like the taste. Haha...

WenXiu and I while waiting for taxi to send us home. :)

Reached home at around 4am. I'm so tired now lah. But it was fun and Xianhui, thanks for sharing your vouchers with me. Haha!

Ate Swensons with Theresa and Edward last Sunday. It's been quite some time since I last went to Swensons. I ordered the Caribbean meal thingy...

The soup was nice!

The drink was alright. It's soda mixed with strawberry syrup with a little pineapple taste in it. Weird combination...

I ate this chicken thingy. It was so nice! There's grilled bananas on top of the chicken and the bananas were delicious! The grilled sweet potatoes were tasty too. Haha...

Lastly, we ordered ice-cream. I had this ice-cream called Wham! Bam! Yam!. Haha... It was delicious too! I love dipping the longans into the yam ice cream. =)

Thanks to Edward for treating us to this delicious and sinful meal. Haha... I think I'll be overweight soon looking at the food I eat nowadays. Lol...

On a darker tone, I was reading this book written by Angeline Jolie on her trips to the less developed countries and I saw some shocking and depressing facts given in the book about the world's poverty.
It is stated that:
1) More than 20 million refugees exist today.
2) One-sixth of the world's population lives on less than 1 dollar a day.
3) 1.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water.
4) One-third of the world has no electricity.
5) More than 100 million children are out of school.
6) One in six children in Africa dies before the age of five.
Oh my gosh. It's really depressing and heart-wrenching to know about all these facts. So many people are living in extreme poverty and what am I doing? Wasting money and pitying myself for not having enough money to satisfy my buying needs?! I'm so superficial and money-minded. I vow that one day when I have the ability, I'll definitely try to do my part to help the refugees in Africa. I don't think we can laze around in our comfort zone and do nothing after knowing how terrible the living conditions are in some places...

Happened to read this poem written by Mary Hathaway. Thought it was nice...
The curtain
The foundations of my life are in eternity.
But sometimes a barrier comes between eternity and now.
And I am lost, confused and often afraid.
But I'm so glad when, after a while,
I reach out my hand and touch eternity again.
My life steadies, things come into focus.
I know where I'm going.
And I realize that what seemed an impenetrable wall
was only a fragile curtain, yeilding easily to the touch
of an outstretched hand.

I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!!

OMG! I still can't believe that I'm now a qualified driver. Hahas... Even before the start of the test, I already made a damn idiotic mistake. When the tester asked me to proceed, I shifted the gear to "D", released my handbrake and expected the car to roll forward. But nothing happened. I was wondering for a long time whether the car was spoilt or something when the tester said, "Eh ah girl, you haven't even start engine, how to drive?!" Aiyo, I was so embarrassed lah. But thankfully, he didn't penalise me for that. I was given test route 3 and so I drove to Teck Whye there and did the U-turn. Thank God traffic conditions and the weather were perfect when I took the test. It's great being on a test car because everyone gives way to you in the circuit. I don't have to wait for my turn to do the courses. So cool! Haha!

I got a total of 18 points! Nearly failed... Hees...

Went to buy the probation plate after applying for my license. Happy! =)

I signed up for the Drivers' Orientation Course next week. The driving instructor will let me drive to town area and expressways to learn new things. So excited lah! Haha...

Oh ya, I went out with WenXiu and Fleur few days back. Actually we wanted to eat steamboat at Bugis but it wasn't open when we reached. In the end, we went to Seoul Garden for lunch. It has been a long time since I went Seoul Garden so it was quite refreshing to dine there once again. I love the ice-cream especially. :)

Us! :)

The result of our huge apetites. :)

After eating, WenXiu went to meet her friend. Fleur and I went on to shop around for clothes. We walked around Seiyu and then left for OG. I bought a bag from Bugis Street after bargaining with the salesman. I managed to lower the price from $39.90 to $30! A good catch! Heex...

Going to NUS tomorrow with HuiMin for some tour thingy. Can't wait for Arts Camp! =)

Had a whole day free to myself so I went out to shop at Bukit Panjang Plaza alone. I thought about my life. Suddenly I felt like a loser because I realised that I've been spending the past 4 years pinning and yearning for someone who most probably would have forgotten about my existence. I hated myself for that. Yet, as I walked through the crowds, I couldn't help but instinctly try to search for that familiar face. That ever clear yet vague image of yours has been lingering in my mind for years. I know where to find you but I've got no courage. You're only a few blocks away in school yet I feel as if you're miles away. You're so near, yet so far... Sometimes I wish I am senile, so that I'll be able to throw away whatever memory I have of you and move on with my own life. At other times, I'm so thankful that you're still staying strong in my mind because I feel a tiny bit of happiness thinking of our past memories. I don't know what to do. Towards you, I feel a strong sense of mixed emotions. Perhaps time will really heal all wounds and lessen the hurts, but memories of you are sure to stay....

till eternity.

Side note: 2 more days to driving test! OMG. I still feel unprepared.

Rotting around at home nowadays. Thank goodness I'm starting another tuition next week so it means more things to do plus extra pocket money. Good timing since Great Singapore Sales has started. Heh heh... Darn, my tuition kid still owes me money and she's giving me excuses for not paying. It's been 2 months already and I still don't see the money. Hmph! One day I'm going to spray red paint over her corridor. =X

Many people I know seem to be leaving Singapore. I know at least 5 friends who're leaving overseas for further studies and I've a couple of friends who have already left. Guess it's inevitable. As we grow up, more and more people leave our lives. It worries me sometimes to think that all my friends may gradually leave me as the years go by....

Went to Jurong Point yesterday to walk around for some books on my own. Saw Mr Steven Wu outside Popular! Heh.. Long time never see him already. Chatted for a while and I saw ZiXian around too! Haha.. He looked different without his hair. LOL! But still looked good lah. =)

Alright, I have visitors at home now. Have to go attend to them. Till next time!
