Best couple for WGM season 2! Honestly, sincerely from the bottom of my heart, I wish that they'll really date in real life! I"m always smiling like a stupid fool watching their episodes of WGM, they're so cute and sweet together! <3 <3 <3 Been waiting for these pictures forever, so imagine the joy when I finally found it ALTHOUGH it would be honestly amazing if I could have the magazine hardcopy ... might ask someone over in Korea to get it for me! I'll blog soon .... school's a bitch.

PS: Am really tempted to convert to tumblr but really don't really know how it works. My tumblr has been dead for like a year ...

Shall just blog for the sake for blogging.

Adele came over to my place yesterday because I didn't feel like going out ... Weekends are the best for nua-ing in my opinion since we're out 5 days a week (for school) ... Nothing beats waking up at your own time (read: 1pm) on a Saturday and then deciding to stay home and watch videos/movies, surf the net and whatnot. So yeah we ordered Macdelivery. I blame it on twitter (and dez) because she tweeted something about wanting/craving for spicy nuggets + fries. I haven't tried the spicy nuggets before, so yeah decided to get it and honestly, it's like the best thing ever! I love it! We lazed around for a while more before heading out with the family to meet Dad's vietnamese friends who were in town for a holiday which led us to Clarke Quay for an impromptu Singapore river taxi cruise and shopping at Central.

Okay am heading out for brunch at Jones the Grocer soon ... mmmm brunch on a Sunday morning/afternoon, kinda reminds me of Marshall&Lily in HIMYM. <3

It's sunday again sigh! This sunday (today) has by-far been the most unproductive sunday ever. Got up at 1ish, spent the entire afternoon lazing around on my bed, taking short 15-minute naps here and there which ironically, left me feeling more nua-ey then before. It's close to 10pm now, and I'm still on my bed, unwilling to get out of bed. Contrary to the belief that taking afternoon naps will cause you to suffer from insomnia, I actually think it's making me more sleepy then usual. I think after this I might just fall into deep slumber. Lately, it sure feels as if I haven't gotten sufficient sleep ... look! The eyebags + dark eye circles are proof ... sigh.

So yeah I was blogsurfing today, spent like 3 hours on ieatishootipost.sg, which left me quite blind because of the black background + white text. Always leave me with a headache after reading for like 2 minutes, that's why whenever I have to read something that's like black background+white text, I usually copy and paste on a word document and change the text colour from there to help my eyes. That aside, I found quite alot of food places to eat, can't wait to try all of those! Am thinking of going on a food trail sometime soon because food can be such a comfort to our poor, tired souls. Especially since it's coming to the end of the semester, all the projects start coming in ... we need all the help we can to soothe ourselves, right? Thank god there's no medlaw lecture tomorrow morning, so I can sleep a little bit more.

Speaking of food, I've yet to try Everything With Fries. It's been opened at Holland for a month or so already, but I've never ever tried it. Looks tempting though, so might want to go down one of these days to try it. Good food (Y).

Anyway, last night's dinner was awesome-possum! Brought deldel along to meet the rest and we had egg-yolk crab + chili crab + fish head curry + chicken + ribs + veggies + hot plate toufu + FRIED MANTOUS at this place at Bukit Timah. Food was good + cheap! I've been craving for crabs since the longest time ever, and you know, the feeling of getting your cravings satisfied is like ... #*&$(#&$(#. But then, I'm craving again ... think I may be pregnant? HAHA. After that we headed to Bar Bar Black Sheep for some cheap + good beer. (comparable to cuscaden). Speaking of which, haven't been there in the longest time, kinda miss the wings sigh. Don't know whether BBBS has chicken wings or not, but even if they have, don't think they can ever beat cuscaden's wingzzzz. And then after that we had Rochor tauhuey ... and then home sweet home at 3AM. Felt really bad cause mom was sleeping on the sofa waiting for my grand arrival ...

Okay, feeling extra nua-ey now don't wanna do anything except close my eyes and sleep ... bye.

(fake, and rather failed attempt at fisheye!)

While I'm waiting for my videos to finish downloading, I thought I might as well just use the time to blog again. Actually, was quite hesitant to blog, since my life is either v boring so there's nothing for me to write about or too busy (with school) that I've got no time to blog or just so interesting that it's hard for me to really write it down. Oh well, not that you guys should know anyway since some of it's rather private (hehe).

Let's see, this week has been pretty eventful. Headed over to Darren's place on Sunday for the last match between Holland and Spain with Ryan, Iris, Colborn and Simon. Bet on Spain but was secretly rooting for Holland at first but after seeing Holland resort to dirty tricks and all that, and for the sake of my $$$$$$$, decided to root for Spain. But oh well, despite Spain winning I didn't win any money how sad, since the only goal was during extra time .... At least from the 3/4th placing game I won! Might be addicted to betting on soccer now, anyone know any helplines to call (just joking), but now honestly can't wait for EPL ... manutd! I remembered after the 90 minute mark I was like "WHAT STILL CANNOT SLEEP?!" And then I snoozed a little, match finally ended and reached home at 6ish. FELT LIKE HELL THE NEXT DAY. (but I know I'm not the only one) Oh well okay, soccer aside.

Can't really remember what happened throughout the week, just know that there was lots of supper, towning, skipping of classes AND napfa. But I had a valid reason okay! Been having bouts of violent coughing, really felt like vomitting and it was really bad ... finally dragged my ass to the doctor after 1 month of coughing, got reprimanded. "Why 1 month later then come and see me?" "No time, school has been really busy." "No time to see doctor, but have time to watch soccer?" My doctor rocks! (yay 20 more minutes till my d/l finishes!) HAHA and a lot of disgusting going-out days with Ryan, with tshirt + shorts + specs + no makeup! BUT Ryan says I look 3 years younger in specs ... which is a good thing ... right?

Initially, I really wanted to blog about my errr sorrows? and pour out all my emotions and whatnot here, but I guess this is really not a very good outlet, nowhere on the web is possible actually, so I guess I'll just revert to ... idk. I'm sad, really sad. But happy too. Sigh, mixed emotions argh. Maybe I'll blog about it soon but for now, I'm off to watch the stuff I d/led!

Crab tomorrow yay!

I'm supposed to be doing my article for online journ but everytime I open my word document, my mind turns into a complete blank and everytime I listen to the love songs, I start to feel sleepy and nua-ey (plus the fact that today's sunday, it's supposed to be rest day i'm totally not in a do-work mood). But other than the fact that I haven't done my article, I'm considered re-la-tive-ly productive cause I did my photoessay in flash already ... Sigh don't feel like going to school tomorrow ... I have no mood/no energy ... so drained from everything this weekend.

So yesterday I met up w Jazzybaby after like one million years, it has been like close to 2 years since I saw her? But yeah was so glad I met her yesterday. Remember there was this period of time, we look alike because of our small eyes. Sigh, missed our primary school days, Jazzy was my table mate in primary 5 and in secondary school, we were classmates in sec one ... miss all those times.

Anyway, together with deldel & ruiqi, we headed down to IMM at 7 friggin AM in the morning to queue up for 2AM's showcase, kiasu right? I know, but there were fans that queued up overnight too. Anyway, del and I already told ourselves that this is gna be the last queuing up thing that we do, since we're so old already + we have no stamina (slept for like 3 hours the night before pls!). Anyway, I also did my photoessay based on the thing, so you could also say I went there for work-related stuff (in a bid to make myself cooler in case you guys start judging me cause I went for a fanmeet).

Jazzy, my primary 5 best friend! You know how in primary school you used to have those autograph books and in there you'll write under friends, there's gold friends, silver friends and bronze friends? Yeah I know it's lame, but come on, we all had those times right? Jazzy was under gold friends!

I love adelekoo!

We were so so bored that we had to just camwhore our time away ...

After the thingum, deldel came over to my place to bathe and whatnot cause her stuff were still here. She stayed over the night before so that we could go queue up together. We had dinner at some random kopitiam near my house, and I bought my soccer bets again. Spain and Paul, I'm counting on you pls do me proud and win 2-1! Back to the showcase, seriously, I regretted going. You had no idea how much I suffered. I couldn't see anything at all, with all the heads/hands + cameras in front of me and everyone was tiptoeing and the girl in front of me was so tall. Sigh, I think the best showcase/concert that I ever went to was the FT one, right in front and JH winked at me (can't forget that moment!), totally melted ... only he has the ability to make me swoooon like a fangirl! He's so perfect + he's the only reason why I bought a guitar because he looks so friggin' cool + handsome + (insert any good adjective you can think of) ... this reminds me ... I haven't touched the guitar ever since I came back from OZ. Still can't play it, only can strum one chord ... can't change chords fast enough. Anyway this is another random point but adele and I can so totally form a girl band, the other day we were playing Falling Slowly together ... she played the guitar and I played the piano ... or was it another song? I forgot but still, it was so melodious I swear! Fingers are itching to play the piano right now ... but its 11.21pm I think my neighbours will screw me up if I start playing it.

Oh well, I found some pictures of jazzy and me! How nostalgic, we look so young back then ... or only me cause Jazzy still looks the same! Love you jazzy, let's meet up soon again, it was nice meeting and catching up with you yesterday!

So anyway, am seriously crossing my fingers for tonight's match ... in the meantime I think I need to go change out of my pjs and head to Darren's place to catch the match with Iris and Ryan! Hope I can wake up for school tomorrow ... thank god it starts at 11am and not 8am or else ... my eyebags will get from bad to worse! I hate it ... omg I just remembered ... NAPFA's next wed and I'm totally not prepared ... I know how I said I'm damn excited for it and I really wanna challenge myself and go for it ... but now ... I'm seriously dreading it. Okay, bye!

I recently just discovered the awesomeness of fake eyelashes, yeah I know I'm slow but fake eyelashes are fucking awesome I swear. It's like every girl's answer to having big big eyes, okay maybe not all girls, but me for sure. And yeah maybe not just fake eyelashes but maxi eyes contact lens as well. Sigh, why didn't I find out about these products sooner, if I did I probably wouldn't be feeling so sad everyday and wishing and praying that I had bigger eyes + double eyelids + nice long eyelashes instead of the sparse few I have. And yeah I know a long time ago, I vowed not to touch fake eyelashes at all but at that time I didn't know how awesome this invention was! Honestly ... I didn't know I was missing out on so much in life ... okay yeah I know I'm exaggerating but still! The only thing is ... I really don't know how to put it on (even with the help of the applicator thing) ... n00b alert.

Okay, these few weeks have been pretty awesome, in a nutshell, I watched Eclipse twice last week (Don't judge alright but I rly thought the show was great. Aside from Lautner, Xavier Samuel was just as delicious as an eyecandy, so was Kiowa Gordon and Cameron Bright oh and not to forget Justin Chon! Yeah I watched for the hot guys ... what? You think I watched for the storyline?! No way), first time was at the Gala for this article, and the second time was on Friday with Jason. I swear we ate so much that day ... before the movie, we ate Crystal Jade and after that we had sushi. Saturday, was gym with Del before Kenny came to fetch Iris and I to Darren's place for soccer (Ger vs Arg), we were late for like 10 minutes and I even said something like 'don't worry, nothing interesting happens in the first 10 minutes', but then 3 minutes into the game, there was a goal! YAY GERMANY! And then played rockband again, watched a bit of Spain vs Paraguay and then headed home. Quite disappointed because I was on Paraguay's side (Oscar Cardozo!!!), but then Villa had to goal in the 83rd minute ... tonight's Netherlands vs Uruguay ... think I'm on Holland's side ... and then tomorrow's Spain vs Germany. No prizes for guessing who I'm supporting!

Sunday headed down to school for photoshoot, which was quite fun because we got to play with makeup and those fake damn exaggerated eyelashes with leopard prints ... Mussel Guys for dinner after that with the family. Did I tell you how much I love mussel guys, they serve the best mussels + fish and chips in Singapore!

Been thinking a lot about travelling these few days, so much that I even went to scout for air tickets and what nots already ... I really want to go to gold coast this holiday (Sept) before my internship starts! On another hand, speaking of internship, mine's more or less confirmed already. So yeah, that aside, I wouldn't mind going to taiwan or japan but yeah gold coast's at the top of my list (for now). Rly rly rly rly rly want to go!!! REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT TO GO!!! Reals.

Okay ... right now I'm thinking whether I should sleep first and wake up for the match later or ... I should just stay up throughout. But first, work beckons me.

Hello earthlings i am here again. Felt like blogging again, i think the blogging-bug has gotten to me again (after like so long) but yeah good for some people who regularly stalk my blog *wink wink. So saturday was granny's 80th birthday so there was this big family gathering, with granny's siblings, children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. I thought that ALL of us were gna be there, but turns out only a majority of us were there, missing quite a few people. I think if the whole family came we could have booked the entire restaurant already ... okay yeah I'm exaggerating again but honestly our family is really big.

Here's the restaurant, looking relatively empty when we first stepped in.

Here's us cousins at the table.

Marie jie-jie

Amy jie-jie and Justin kor-kor

Agnes jie-jie and Soon heng kor-kor

Marie jie-jie and Levene kor-kor

Lynette jie-jie

Desiree, Ryan and I.

Granny!

And the people here born in the year of horses.

My dad always doesn't look at the camera ... and other dads also i don't know why they don't look at the camera.

My cousins, of course this is not all of them. I counted I have a total of 20 (real) cousins, not counting my cousins-in-law and whatnot. 6 aunties/uncles, not counting uncle/auntie-in-laws which makes it total of 12, and 5 nieces/nephews ... + there's still my granny's siblings/siblings-in-law and whatnot ... i don't feel like racking my brains to count.

Xander so cute i love xander!

It has been ages since we last had such a big family gathering/met each other, so a bunch of us took the gathering to a nearby pub at raffles area, namely cherv me and dad, olives and her dad, dez and her dad, jasper and his mum and dad so yeah ... and then pictures tell it all hehe pictures are private on fb honestly there are many more unglam ones which i am not proud of so i will not put them up for you to laugh at here are the ... more innocent ones.

Woke up the next day w a pretty bad hangover so yeah this is the result of not drinking for the past month or so, but all in all it was good because of the company + drinking relieves stress and honestly, the stress built up from school and whatnots ... thank god most of it is gone but i'm sure pretty soon, it'll start building up again. My life is sad.

Oh anyway in the post about Australia, i meant to blog a little more but kinda forgot what happened there so I looked into my private handwritten diary and remembered that i got fucking stung by a bee there. On my thigh, stupid thing stung me when i was just about to sit down on the bench argh i hate bees i hate bees i hate bees! And and omg, I had so much fun scaring Chervs when we were there, you know how the houses there are scarily and horribly dark at night, you can't even see your hands and whatnots ... yeah took advantage of that fact, + the fact that i have long hair and scared the shit out of him ... 3 times! I could have done it more times but he got more cautious and wary each time until he wasn't scared anymore so it wasn't fun .... oh well yeah thought i should just mention it.

Let's see, after school yesterday, Darren came to fetch me from school together with Ryan and Iris and we made an impromptu decision to go eat buffalo wings at Sunset Grill at Seletar Camp which was awesome I must say ... but still, nothing beats cuscaden wings! After that we drove to Bishan for KOI and then to Darren's place for soccer but his soccer channel screwed up so we ended up playing eggleo rockband which was damn fun i must say ... when I move to the new house i'm gna get one and put it in my room!

Okay I've come to the end of this post ... i better go work on my articles now sigh. Anyway I ordered 3 pairs of shoes online am quite excited just looking at it, waiting for it to arrive and I'm gna order 2 more pairs later/tomorrow, damn sexy and nice shoes I swear! When I get it I'll post it up ... right now I'm just ordering shoe boxes and whatnots online to store my expanding shoe collection (think 60/70 pairs and counting?) ... but of course I'll throw some of them away when I move cause ... some are honestly gross and I don't wanna waste my time + money sorting them out and putting them in nice boxes ... okay cheapo here!

Bye! Can't wait for tomorrow's Twilight/Eclipse movie screening bet you're all secretly jealous!

It's sunday already and it's the last day of holidays, sigh it seemed like just yesterday when it was just the starting of the holidays and then in a wink of an eye, it's suddenly the last day. Why do time always have to fly when you're having fun? I can never understand life or the universe ... Yeah so as you all know, I went to OZ (again), still not sick of that place. I think it's highly because of the weather, love the weather so much more than i love anything else. It's winter now in perth and there are nights when it is absolutely freezing, I had to wear 3 layers of thick clothing to sleep and wrap myself up in 2 comforters so you can imagine ... of course, that said, my cold-tolerance level has always been really low so I guess I might be exaggerating a little bit since other people only wore 2 layers and covered 1 blanket. I think it's just me, then.

As of now, it's been 5 days ever since i came back and my luggage is still in my room, unpacked and there are like piles and piles of clothes beside it. I seriously dread having to pack and keep clothes ... that said, heading to Lynette's house next saturday to help her pack her wardrobe for the new wardrobe to come ... I know what you guys are thinking ... pack other people's wardrobe but never pack your own. Mine's seriously ... I'm speechless I don't even want to talk about it, I don't even want to open my cupboard because when I do, all the clothes fall down and I have to shove it all back in again. I've been living on the pile of clothes on the floor (clean laundry), so don't be surprised if you see me repeating my clothes all the time heh.

We spent three nights in a row eating dinner in the garage with the garage doors open wide. But it was good, we had sushi (homemade), herbal soup, sesame chicken, pizza and alot more. Speaking about pizza, instead of driving out or walking out to get dominoes which is seriously damn near to the house, Cherv and I rode bicycles there. Quite stupid actually, because we had to ride on the grass and bushes beside the main road and the terrain was just so ... what's that word ... jaggedy? So yeah and the pizza didn't come in plastic bags, so we had to ride our bicycles and juggle boxes of pizza at the same time it was so tiring and stupid I swear, screaming and screaming and whatnot. Heh, I can cycle with one hand am I pro or what.

Favourite dimsum restaurant that serves the best squid tentacles mad love I swear!

Grilled fish + premium fish and chips.

Chili mussels my favourite. Mussel guys serve damn good mussels as well, you must try!

Normal fish and chips.

Grilled flounder.

Squid tentacles! I love eating stuff from this kinda boxes, reminds me of hollywood movies where they always order chinese takeout and then they get chopsticks and boxes.

Free chocolate at the chocolate factory. (Eh del, i forgot to give you the dark chocolates I bought for you)

At canning market, must-go every sunday! The popcorn there is super super good, tastes salty + sweet at the same time, plus its only $8 for one huge pack, enough for all of us to share!

Everyday from 7.30pm to 12mn, we'll rush home and then the whole family would be glued to the TV watching world cup (influenced by me i think) with wine and snacks. Portugal (Y)!

Okay, I shall go resize and edit the photos we took yesterday night and blog again later ... have fun in school tomorrow folks!

Hello everyone sorry I haven't been blogging that regularly, school has just been really crazy. Am flying off to Aussie in 12 hours time, seems like I've been spending all of my holidays there ... oh well, contrary to what people think (that perth is boring), I actually think it is really fun! Can't wait to be there and feel the cold weather, see the clear blue skies, eat lots of good food, shop! and do lotsa fun things (if you consider doing my travel feature there as fun) ... Can't believe I'll be doing work there ugh. See you when I'm back!
