okay. so after a long talk with W (he shall remain unnamed), i've decided that some events that occurred will not be discussed on my blog anymore. especially after 'passer-by' decided to become an 'all-knowing' being. thank you for your insight. but i find them very lacking.
please do consider this. i weigh my debates and arguments. just because i do not post them does not mean i did not do my research or did not ask for other people's opinions. if you can understand, this is my blog and i am free to post my opinions and thoughts freely. if you are unable to accept it, please find someone who actually gives a damn.
-back to my normal post-
went out for lunch with my grandma. went to eat at swensons. i love swensons. i especially loved their fish N chips since i was a little girl. hahaha. it's still pretty good. i love their calamari as well. and their ice cream. -insert person drooling-
yes, it's that good.
didnt play much today. just play two or three rounds of quest with kev and jacky until dinner. -gulps- X))) poor poor boys.
will be working tomorrow. but i cant sleep. damn. it's nearing midnight and i'm not sleepy. wrote page 6 of story 4, peeps. go read it!!

today didnt go church coz my dad conveniently forgot to tell us that we were having lunch with my grandparents until the night before. -.- riiiiiiiiight. thank goodness i haven't booked the tickets coz kat called to inform that raina and jon jon wanted to come along too. lols.
then there's the big UH-OH. apparently men are not capable of making plans on their own. because my grandparents ended up coming to our house just as we were about to leave. thank goodness for the internet! coz we went online to see whether there was any good north indian places around the east coast. there's one to open at the big splash area, p.s. the KFC there is cool. it's like half a donut coz the middle's the kitchen.
went to this place called kinara's. the whole place looks dead. i pity the poor italian restaurant next to it coz it was deserted. the host practically ran out the door when me and kev walked over to see what kind of restaurant it was at first. the food at the indian restaurant was pretty good. and dont say it's coz i'm an indian coz to be honest, my mind and tummy thinks like an american. ahhaha. fast food and western for me. even chinese is only good for once in a while. but day to day, i could just DIE. ahhaha. kidding. so yeah.
i recognised the place as the row of shophouses at the bus stop near the siglap CC. that's where i had my art and ballet classes. -.- totally flaky. i'm still convinced that my art teacher was gay, even my mom thinks so. ahhaha.
dropped my grandparents off then picked up raina and jon. (they live just a bit further down from the grandparents) hee. then we all got off at j8. sadly, the L chocolates were already gone. THAT IS SO UNFAIR. i was dying to get one. hiks hiks. anyways we walked around for a little bit before we got too impatient and bought popcorn. it's so retarded coz they didnt even open the hall until 4 mins before the damn movie was to start. -.-
so we ended up eating half the popcorn before the ACTUAL movie started. L CHANGE THE WORLD movie is sooooooooooooo GOOD. okay so maybe the ending after the credits sucked but it was pretty good. a bit gory for my tastes but still. hmmm. they could have warned us. okay, once again, to all simple minded people, please dont wreck your brains over the movie.
I LOVE BOY AND L LAWLIET. <3 oh, but I LOVE JACKY THE MOST. ahhaha. so you cant be jealous now jacky. =))

spent my friday and saturday lazing around at home. hee. nothing much to report actually. oh yeah, i played gunz. me, kev and jacky 'set up shop' and played gunz. hahaha. we sat three in a row in my parents room (coz one of us had to use the com) then later we migrated to the living room (we grabbed my mom's dell for jacky to use). it was craaaaaaazzzzzzzyyyyyy.
i know i know. it's like 'gunz is a boys game!'. well yeah, big deal. i'm sure there are plenty of girls playing it too. so there, jon! hahhaa. anyways i think we lvled so many times playing quests, especially those with the boss.
we created our own clan which was has a very unoriginal name 'frozen hearts'. i was thinking more like 'flaming desire' or something. but when 3 of the 4 foundig members are boys, the odds are stacked against you so i didnt say anything. hahaha. but kinda cool since our leader is a lvl 51 player. lols. while the rest of us are barely inching 20. well, philip's 26 i think so it mainly applies to me and kev.
our house could be a lan shop. after all, we have 3 laptops and a com. we can have 4 ppl playing maple or gunz at any one time.

okae. so, erm, yeah everyone knows i got into marketing NYP. so yeahs. my paternal grandma has been calling since yesterday to know what i got. I kinda like avoided calling her back until she caught up with me today. Ooops. hahah.
anyways, yesterday was PAY DAY! Wooo. so cashed in the check and now i'm $$$$$$ richer. the amount will not be specified. hahha. guess what i learned today? an average lawyer earns $500 bucks an hour. cool right? so ya imagine, you did 20 hours research, 20 hours of summat else and another coupla 20 hours doing this and that. and you get 50K made in one case. wowza! that sounds like sweeet money to me.
but no, dont get the wrong idea. law is tough. hell, any job is tough. =applauds to the working world= but seriously, working as a temp in my parents office is an eye opener. please, dont say you work like three days or so, that doesnt count. as in you seriously need to be from the bottom rung working your way up kind of experience. it's no easy feat. my boss can piss me off so much but i still need to hold my tongue and take all that sh*t, even if i do end up bursting up. >.<
but seriously, law students, take note, it's not an easy path. i used to think even with my strong background of english and a passion for history and literature, i weave up a fantastic, strong case for a client (this is my fantasy, bear with it) with my literature, story writing skills. history, to recall the diff laws and examples, tort and so on. english, to be in court, arguing and to persuade the judge in my favour, or rather my client's favor.
-poof- that's a dream. real life. you deal with difficult @ssh0les on a daily basis. my mom does mostly insurance and all and it's freaking annoying. you mail and call the debtors or gurantors for money they owe and they arent willing to shell out a damn cent! most of them wait til you bankrupt them so at least they can keep their nice large homes or whatever. my dad does construction law. that's even worse, the cases drag on and on and on. and it's tiring, there are days my dad doesnt get home past one and he's back at work by 7 the next day, i've heard about it from his secretary and my dad. even if i wont admit it to them, i think it's really awesome that they do this for a living.
moving on, had a pretty good day overall. went out for lunch with evelyn and christine (forgive my lack of manners but i find it diff to call them auntie). we ate at Ethan's place. hahha. it's really good. it's americanized or european-'lized'. lols. was handed this huge file around four. took me like 3 and 1/2 hours to complete. i was so frustrated. i kept on going back to the previous debtor (there was seven of them) just to add in or correct something. now i understand how my parents' secretaries feel.
later went home after stopping by the new kfc at east coast. coolness, it's next to the underpass from my house. =))) hahahha. went home and had dinner. as in cheese fries and steamed fish. weird combo, i know.
my sister is such an conniving little b1tch. she cant back down even when she's in the wrong. she carries this holier than thou attitude when clearly the only thing holy is the holy stinking gas she expels from her @ss. LOLS. just over a teeny tiny matter of a telly show and she's impelled to be the all-knowing one. -.- like anyone's impressed. typical prat.
she is such an attention seeker. she argues about everything between my siblings and her. one would think she would have learnt her lesson during her VERY public scolding in swenson's but noooo, apparently it has fallen on deaf ears. she likes to portray herself as Cinderella, the poor, underprivileged, 'abused' one in the family but during the other times she's either lording over someone else as she's obviously way 'cleverer' or 'wittier' or whatever she can come up with OR she's flouncing around with her ATTITUDE PROBLEM mood as she licks her wounds from a battle of words.
excuse me miss, thank you for letting us know that your math and science are adequate. but have you actually competed? on a national level? or even higher? please dont say those yearly academic exams they ask ppl to sit for, nearly everyone does. i did it too and i'm not ashamed to say that i routinely fail my maths and i still got my chance to take the maths test from wales.
have you achieved top student in ANY subject since you think you are better? for the record, i hold 3 years of top student but you, on the other hand, have none. i competed in competitions in my STRENGTHS or otherwise. i've got debate, writing and believe or not, science and technology under my belt to chalk up as experience.
popularity, you may retort. yes, i may have a much smaller circle of friends. but i believe in quality, not quantity. i have a more intimate relationship with them. at least i dont backstab them or gossip about them to someone else. talk about rumors, yes, i do. to ppl i hate, it's no hidden secret. i dont waste time in pretending to be your friend. you're fair game when it comes to gossip then.
please open your eyes before you mouth off. a minor matter should be rubbed off. do not blow it out of proportions. you can list 'making mountains out of molehills' under your list of talents and 'bitchy and irritating things i do'. maybe i did make a mistake, maybe i did not but i wasnt even making conversation to you, so what the hell do you want?
go ahead. comment more on your blog. i have you linked. it proves how much more immature you are to hold on to this pathetic grudge that occurred due to your own mistakes.

okae. february 19... hmmmm... what to say. i got my posting results that's for one. and my paycheck is one day away that's issue no 2.
anyways, erm, i got posted into marketing/business. wow? not really. erm. i hate maths. i hated science. so what is it with me doing business? unless it's just bullsh*tting and making everyone feel like sh*t then i'll be in perfect form by the end of the course. talking to pants off those corporate climbers. hahha.
the good thing was i got posted to nanyang poly! go me! hahha. yes, i still kinda wanna go TP but you know, i had half a heart for NYP too. i did apply for SP and NP but i didnt get the vibe from those schools you know. those heart-pumping, adrenaline driving feelings of LOVE. PASSION. yeah man, WOOO. that's what draws me to them. =))
went to NP with xiao hui in the afternoon. she didnt get anywhere. poor her. but she's really brave. going with me to NP to appeal. and to check what her options were. i mean it was kinda harsh for her especially with the phonecall which practically told her to either retake her Os or go to ITE. not that ITE's a bad thing but it was a waste for her to take her Os only to follow the N lvl route.
anyways pray for me. coz i'll be appealing. i may be stuck in marketing for now, but that's not going to be my future if i can do something about it!!

yesterday, didnt do squat i guess. just lazed around the whole day. nothing to do. then in the evening, my parents had their staff dinner at our house. all of them came except auntie damita and donna. auntie christine and auntie eveleen brought their kids. they're SO ADORABLE. especially ethel and fagen(is that how it's spelt). CUTESY.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. I LOVE THEM ALL. they're so cute. sat with ethel and ethan during dinner. they're so cute. they shoved loads into the shyabu shyabu(jap steamboat) but only ended up eating egg and meatballs. while i ate beef and fishballs. haahaha. they argued over the rice and chicken. damn funny. i didnt know meals could be another potential argument session.
chloe(evelyn's daughter) is so possessive over stuff. so is ethel. they were both fighting over whatever toys i brought out for them. fagen just drooled on everything. -.-'' men. hahaha. kidding. fagen's scared shitless over my dad. i think it's kind of his first time in such close contact with a dark skin guy. fagen didnt mind me too much, until he wanted his mummy back then he started crying. hahhaa.
ethel got overpossessive and decided i couldnt play with anyone else. it's kinda cute. but it's tiring too coz she liked playing with the dollhouse. but she had no storyline. hahha. the 'mummy' kept jetting off overseas while the poor 'daddy' (me) had to work nonstop. hahah. and if i didnt buy 'mummy' gifts or did something wrong, 'daddy' got a slap? lols. thankfully the dollhouse daddy. -.-'''
ethan was so easily entertained. he started playing the gameboy. then the psp. finally he n kevin settled down to play the xbox. i think we should update it the the 360 but my mom's insistent we get rid of the xbox first. then maybe she'd consider it.
anyway, after they left, me and kevin played GUNZ nonstop. we chionged until 3am before going to sleep.
17 feb.
when we woke up, we started playing GUNZ again ard 11 plus. this time jacky played with us. he brought his lvl 50 char and we kept on playing quest before kevin had to stop and do his hw.
me and jacky went to play deathmatch rds. damn cool. except the ppl are so good, sometimes i dont even last half a minute. hahah. i think i killed like 5 for every 11 jacky killed. hahahaa.

ermm. valentine's day. the day where every goddamn couple is carrying a bouquet of flowers between them. i didnt get any, if you asked. but wth, i just realised it's so messy and unrealistic. coz, most likely you prob met your date after school or work, so how you gonna keep the flowers alive within the four, five or more hours you are out with your significant other?
if i needed flowers, i could walk across the road and nicked them from the nursery. btw, there's two nurseries in my neighbourhood so it's not like there'll be a lack of it. hahhaa.
anyways, went out with jacky around four. my boss was none to pleased to let me off so easily. ahha. watched JUNO. for those who havent watched it and are of legal age, go watch it. it's all-so-inspiring. of course, to all those typical singaporean twits, brush up on your english, learn some of the american and english slang before attempting to understand the movie.
i could tell coz there was this group of uncouth boys who were going 'huh?' everytime Juno or her friends said 'wizard' or something equally confusing to them. 'wizard' is their version of saying 'neat' or 'cool'.
anyway later walked around the place before heading to marina square for dinner. i was so full but when we enter coffee club, my tummy went from full to HUNGRY. hahhaa. but i still had like half leftover. wanted to take away but we forgot to.
played pool for an hour before my feet started to hurt. then we went shopping. weee. i like shopping on special couple-y occasions, whyy? because my boyfriend spoils me then. actually those who know both of us would prob say he spoils me all the time, which is 100% true. XD
anyways, bought a pair of heels (which i cant wear with jacky coz it makes me around the same height, it's totally weird), a top and candy. i love gummy bears. =) and airplanes.
he's so sweet. he bought me a necklace. although i need to adjust the chain. -.- why do ppl like it so high that it looks like it's protruding out of your neck? i dont get it. i like it lower i guess. like below the collar bone somewhere there? yupps.
had a really good day overall. trying pairs and pairs of shoes. clothes. X))) bless jacky, he's got an almost patience of a saint. hahaha. not really but you get the picture.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL THEM LOVING COUPLES, and not so loving. AND TO ALL MY LOVE-R-LY FRIENDS, I LOVE YOU TOO!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBS!! I LOVE YOU LOADS AND LOADS AND LOADS!

WTF. i posted this just now and ended up with 1/5 of a post. that's damn irritating sia. anyways, played maple pq in the wee hours of the all pre-valentine's day. lols. the party was pretty cool. i raelly enjoyed myself. thanks to those who were in the party. i mean you've got to be terribly patient with my blurness and all. no matter how cute/irritating it was. X))
went to work. nothing much to report. lunch wasn't bad. worked until nearly 6 then rushed back home coz my grandaunt was coming for dinner. apparently in the Chinese calendar, it's Everybody's Birthday Day. lols
btw, this grandaunt isn't my grandma's sister. it's my late grandfather (whom i nvr met b4) younger sibling. so anyways, i went to parkway to pick up some stuff before heading back. their english is pretty good considering during that time, they prob only focused on chinese and dialect. quite interesting to hear my grandma and grandaunt talk in foochow. wowwers.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONATHAN!

9 feb.
i ended up going to both parties. just that i went to jacky's party first then later i left to go to debbie's house for the gang's CNY. i loved it. =))
anyways the bbq at jacky's relative's house. hmmm. let's just say it's just that i never want to experience it again? no offense but i think the language barrier is one issue. another issue, my skin colour. no offense but the only other people who are of similar skin colour is their maids. -.-
anyways then left to go to debs house. the taxi driver damn weird. his wife in the car also then he still wanna work? like excuse me? anyways he didnt charge too much coz he didnt know how to go there and i only knew the bus route way, and that's freaking far.
played mahjong at debs house. I LOVE MAHJONG. it rocks. i think a big minority of the rounds i played i won. hahahaha. of course, my feeders were kat, and typically, lisa. hahah. even in family mahjong, lisa is my feeder to win. =))
10 feb.
my bro upchucked. no joke manz. it was like three-ish, nearly four when i was almost asleep when suddenly i hear movement from our room (mine, liz and kai) and then a crash, slam, bang and boom. my bro runs into my mom room (where i'm temporarily sleeping while my grandaunt is over) and announces he's vomited.
so my mom and i go observe the 'damage'. my bro puked at the edge of the bed which is near my cupboard. -.- thanks a lot kevin. and his shirt was puke-y. ick. so i go help him to the toilet and a change of clothes while my mom tries to 'salvage' the situation. lols.
later he comes to our room to sleep. 3 ppl on a queen sized bed. that's no small feat since all 3 of us love to have large bolsters. anyways i watch him sleep and it's clear he cant coz his tummy's growling.
so we go to the kitchen to eat, i was hungry too. he collapses on the floor saying he's so hungry? so i desperately try find some biscuits and when i turn around, he's puked on the floor. another ick.
so i go wake my mom and she has to go clean the puke up since he's a moving puking monster at the moment. i bring him back to the toilet where he continues his puking business. it's damn gross sia. while i try to block his bedroom puke from reaching my darling clothes cupboard. my clothes are EXPENSIVE. no way i need the smell of puke on them.
anyways needless to say we didnt go church the next day. we were so stoned coz by the time we got to sleep it was almost four-thirty, five for me. i slept the whole afternoon when jacky came over. poor him, kinda. he played maple the whole time while i was out cold. lols.
went out for dinner that night but i dont think it was anything great coz i ended up going to sleep feeling hungry. hahahah. but heckles.

sorry, kinda like given up on blogging. heh. not too interested coz i never seem to have much to write since i end up cutting half my life out of it. so anyways just a quickie.
1. i recieved my o lvl results back. yes, i passed all except my stinking art which i still hate thanks to the bitch MISS SEOW.
2. i am very proud of my three As in humanities, as expected (obviously).
3. i am going to poly. my course is undecided. it's a tie between journalism, law and some other random courses that i funnily enough have an interest in.
4. i am working part time. but i still hate my job. it has long hours and my mom forces me to work everyday instead of the two, three days as agreed. (although it's fair enough to say that i work three days in two weeks. hee. X) good pay.)
5. i have no life whatsoever because i am cashless. my mom cut my allowance by half owing to the fact that i am not schooling.
6. i highlighted my hair. this is the only 'in' thing i ever did. mainly it was a negotiation after i decided i wanted TEAL and BLUE highlights. gold ain't so bad.
7. the Chinese New Year ang baos seem to be affected by recession as most of it seems to be much lesser than the year before. (erm, this is only a theory on two different people, I for one cant complain.)
anyways yeah la. CNY means lots of new clothes, more shopping, more shoes (i am a shoe-aholic but my feet size and wallet size makes the decision), more stress.
btw, i got a make-up kit for christmas but i ain't got any idea how to use it. so damn it all, dont pressure me on it. i also got my cute planner which is sadly empty coz everybody's either in school or working. sad.
anyhoos. very disappointed because i have yet to play mahjong this year. i am itching to play. so far i have only play dai di (spelling?) and blackjack which although very exciting, isn't very stimulating.
my big problem now which is why i am up at 1 bloody am is that i am doubly booked for tomorrow. AND they're at the same time at very DIFFERENT places. i couldn't be kidding. one's in sembawang, the other at erm... thomson? is it? debs, your addie?
so, i cant decide. i mean i already said yes for the sembawang thing and even told my mom in advance. i have no idea whether she pretends or it fell on deaf ears coz apparently the gang outing is on the same day at THOMSON. I LOVE THE GANG. but I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND TOO. so who to pick?
-sighs- i'm not purposely being difficult. i want both but i cant be at both places at any one time. even if i did go to the sembawang thing early, i cant have a good time and be sociable and leave within two hours. that is totally unreasonable. and my mom has the 'loving decency' to scold me about throwing my friends away when she threw us, HER KIDS, in favor of something else when she decided to take a six year hiatus from her job. only thing she's the big, mean boss and i have, unfortunately, no say in retorting back.
