had marketing exam today but i was superbly unmotivated la. yesterday revised so i was kinda lazy to go through again. plus it didnt help that i was forced to wake up ard 9 coz the aircon ppl decided that for the first time in their entire contract, they would come EARLY. normally they will say lunchtime then they would come nearer 4pm lo. zzzz.
played maple the whole afternoon. i was like train train train my new char with kevin's new char then when lvl 59, WJ and his cousin were fighting boss so i took my lvl 132 bishop/mage/whatever to get free exp. xD hahahaa. but didnt get any exp in the end coz i had to leave to meet michelle and meagan at raffles city.
goshh. cab fare was soooooooo expensive. stupid sia. the driver think he's so smart, try take the longer route. if not for the fact that i wasnt paying attention, i would have made him take the other way.
studied and ate at soup spoon. wa lao. michelle is a soup spoon addict la. she finished her soup so fast. then me and meagan eat so slowly compared to her. =X i think we talked as much as we studied.
cabbed down to meridien. then michelle and meagan insisted we go to their 'special toilet'. wth. so we all go. it's like inside the hotel's function room area. =.= riiiight. now i know why it's so special. it's a great place to camwhore. so, the toilet with bad lighting is where they camwhored. the situation was something like this..
michelle: eh, meagan, use your phone la!meagan takes phone. i slowly move towards toilet door.meagan: LAURA! you must take photo with us.michelle: yeah! we never take photo before. must take!laura: aaaah! dont want. i look terrible!michelle: nevermind. for fun! -distracted- meagan, you look like ghost! was about to slip away WHENmeagan: laura! come here la. stand next to me!laura -resigned-: okae. -picture taken- OMG. i look toot!michelle: -takes a lot more- NICE!meagan: okay. i will send to all of you.laura: T.Thahhaa. quite fun though la. managed to help me destress. then went for exam. i think it was quite alright. managed to understand how to do 3 out of 4 when we needed to answer 2 questions only. yay!P.S. MEAGAN. MICHELLE. think of a movie to watch for next wednesday.
what we could have been, 10:01 pm.
feeling super lazy today. my grandma left the house early in the morning with the maid so didnt have any wake up call or breakfast so i made WJ go with me to parkway to eat lunch. xD
met michelle to study. okae. me and michelle are like total slackers. we called both dimple and meagan to ask what to study. then there was this brief timing of silence in which we took notes and studied. but it wasnt a study marathon la.
like less than an hour and we decided to go window shopping. hahah. later went to starbucks and we got our sugar rush. hahha. she had some raspberry/strawberry drink while i split a HUGE chocolate cream chip frapp with WJ. i think he loves it as much as i do but he wont admit to it. we left after that coz michelle was going home while i was DYING to get my latest fix of magazines and comics.
watched three more DVDs today. chocolate. the hottie and the nottie. over her dead body. okae. i know majority of the ppl are anti-paris hilton. but i think she did pretty well in the hottie & the nottie. and eva longoria kinda played an control freak bimbo in over her dead body. but it still made me cry at the end! aaaah! i am a sucker for romance and comedies.
I FINALLY GOT MY JUICY COUTURE BAG!! WHEEEE~
see??? i've been lusting for over a month and i finally found one, BRAND NEW! of course, it'll take time since it's being shipped over from US. ^^
super super happy~~ tra la la la. of course, this means i'm super super broke coz it ain't cheap.
what we could have been, 9:58 pm.
watched sex and the city yesterday. okay. i know that new york is like super super fashionable. but seriously, the apparel that the carrie, samantha, charlotte and miranda i think (the last one whom i've forgotten) wore were kinda disappointing. i mean some were frightful, the others just dull. the only clothes selection i liked was the wedding photos scene. OMG, those wedding dresses are
DIVINE.
i've never watched the SaTC tv version so i wouldnt know if its supposed to be like that or not. oh yeah. and its kinda packed with almost sex scenes. was watching it when kevin burst into the room. (he was having tuition then)
anyways, i wouldnt have commented on it until i saw on this celeb reportings blog that Vivienne Westwood (i find her clothes amazing) -she's a designer & she designed the wedding dress of Carrie- said that she found SaTC disappointing as well. okae. main reason why i didnt comment until i saw that was coz i thought maybe it was just me who found their clothes a little drab but when i saw her comment then ah heck, why not put my two cents in? xD
what we could have been, 10:29 am.
totally wasting the day at home. had a bad case of cramps this morning again. but then it got better as the day wore on. talked to leanne which made me happy coz i really loved hanging out with her when i was in primary school. =) she was one of my bestest best friends.
i read an ex-classmate's blog. and i realised. how our friendship fell apart was because i neglected it. i am guilty of that. but i will not take responsibility for all the blame. like i said before. it takes two hands to clap. if i didnt ask, then why couldnt you? and and and when you wanted the the truth, i gave it. but i doubt you would have believed me.
why? only today, i realised why. you took me as a replacement of something you couldnt attain. i'm sorry, D, i know i made mistakes. but then again, with the things i found out that you did, can i even trust you anymore? you practically lied to me but i believed you without doubting anything.
what we could have been, 11:37 am.
OMG. I'M FINALLY DONE WITH MY ICT ASSIGNMENT! aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okae i'm feeling high right now. in just three days, i've completed an extremely well-written essay and a not-so-fantastic-but-i-think-its-alright powerpoint to boot. i'm feeling super accomplished right now. =DD
thank you to my ever loyal supporter, WJ. i think even at my darkest hour, he was there encouraging me to continue. when i was demoralized, he came over just to make me feel better. 我爱你!
thank you to Meagan, Michelle, Nicole, Coral and JY for encouraging me too. oh man. if you guys havent offered your friendship and support, i'd be feeling really lost right now.
okae. i'm gonna practice my presentation one more time then i'm gonna enjoy. hopefully tomorrow's PP presentation will go off without a hitch. =D
what we could have been, 11:18 pm.
funnily enough. it's when people seem most happy, in truth, it's the total opposite. sure i can all smiles and laugh and joke. but that doesnt mean there's something bothering me.
weirdly enough that's the same reason why i hold people at arm's length. it's really about learning to trust others. sure i welcome you with open arms and all. but that doesnt mean that we're become siamese twins or whatever. even siblings dont achieve that within seconds. it takes TIME. something that everyone's pressed for.
sure my priorities arent exactly likes yours or his or hers. but that's what makes us unique and special right? or else we'd be this huge faceless sea of bodies. sighs.
i seriously cant wait to graduate. this school has brought nothing but trouble and misery. seriously for once i cant wait to grow up so i can leave all this behind. fck it.
i miss the gang. i miss talking about life with rach, raina and debs. gossiping and mad jokes with andria, lisa and kat. arguing and teasing with jon, kev and jess.
dear god
i know i havent been praying or attending church
or whatever yeah.
but give me the strength to get through with this.
amen.
what we could have been, 12:03 am.
recently been a little out of whack in life. so i've been doing a lot more praying and reflection (than i probably would for the rest of, oh.. i dunno, couple of months?) then just today i talked to four people (all blasts from my past) and i realised i missed them all. i missed my life back then. it was something comforting to talk to them, fall back in the same routine.
1. Stef- she's been my best friend since p4-5? she was there when i was doing ballet, bands and braces. she was the person i could turn to, talk and not have to be someone else. i could turn up in my oldest shorts and shirt and we'd still hang out.
2. Chris- he's the peanut butter to my jelly. it tastes gross (to me) but actually we contrast to the point of being friends instead of enemies. he's the one i share my problems and vice versa. =)
3. Mark- he's like this antagonist. yet at the same time he's the joker who makes you laugh at his antics. oh yeah, and he has the penchant of making fun of my name. =/
4. Winz- though i never actually saw him face to face. we talked a lot on msn and audition. (to the point where wenjie stopped playing audi coz he hated that we talked a lot e.g. the 10pm-4am audition marathon winz and i had)
i've never really opposed changes but at the same time i've never really liked them. ugh. not that i have a choice. cant keep hanging on to the past.
bleah. thinking of changing my blog skin and blog song. but i'm kinda lazy. wahhaa. tomorrow gonna watch zohan. hope it's good. i really need some laughs.
what we could have been, 11:33 pm.
yesterday was kinda interesting. went over to wenjie's house with the cake and the arm load of presents. in the end had to call him down coz i couldnt carry my cake, the presents and my laptop. =/ hahhaa.
i think he really likes just to open presents and start using the most interesting one. coz he practically tore open all of them before replacing his old wallet and started on the black mp4. hahhaa. typical.
kinda annoyed that his family took out the cake i gave him. but later wenjie explained that they had made a mistake as wenjie's dad bought him a cake too but they didnt know where so they assumed the cake in the fridge was it. GRRR. spoiled my mood coz i agonized over the details of the cake and they didnt care. -sighs- but it was his bday so i just pasted a fake smile for the rest of the time.
loads of cousins (some whom i've just met) came so they had free cake. and an aunt had just came down from US so she was hawking her stuff to the rest of his relatives. heh. one of his cousins are getting married in august so i kept teasing WJ that he could use the tie my grandma gave him but he later said that their weddings were kinda informal dressing. =/
we watched like three movies in one afternoon. >.< my eyes were aching after that. hehehe. we're gonna do 3-in-1 afternoon movie session on wednesday too. hahaha.
SUNDAYtoday's my grandma's bday. my paternal grandmother. so we went to an indian restaurant to eat. wasnt as good as our regular restaurant and probably more expensive but my cousins said it was good so... -shrugs- i never liked spicy food so it didnt matter.me, kev, lisa and wenjie practically attacked the leftover of wenjie's cake in the afternoon. hahaha. i LOVE vanilla sponge cakes. especially from that bakery in parkway. yummy! =D
what we could have been, 10:27 pm.
you know what. it's quite discerning to see my name and blog link up on my church's website. =/ yeah yeah. i know these past two years.. i havent been attending church regularly. last year O lvls, this year with weekend classes or catching up on lost time with WJ.
to be honest i would tell you i had lost my faith. there was a point where i seriously didnt believe in God anymore. hence my apparent annoyance and anger of having my blog link up on the church website.
and that was when the Bintan trip changed everything. maybe coz i knew that God and church would be always be there, in the back of my mind and heart. i kinda took it for granted that i could come back in even after walking out.
on the first night in Bintan, i had this strange aching, a restless longing. at first it was just me missing my home, my bed, my boyfriend. but only on the last day did i realise i was missing God.
although right now i cant come to church coz of school and a lot of unexplainable issues. i really cant wait til my schedule clears up and put my demons behind me. that's when i'll come back to church.
oh yeah. WHOEVER DOES THE DESIGNS FOR THE CHURCH WEBSITE. DONT USE MY SURNAME. it's plain weird. laura/lauraa would be suffice.
what we could have been, 10:11 am.
HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY WENJIE~!! (i know that most ppl would do the obligatory 'may all ur wishes come true crap but i dont care).
I LOVE YOU. LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS. xD cant wait to see you later. got loads of crazy plans but today's your day so we're gonna do ALMOST anything you want.

FriendsWithBenefits
A soft giggle, the fluttering of lashes
The rustle of clothes and paper
Quick, low voices whispering,
He makes a funny
She gives an irresistible smile.
He's trapped under her spell.
She's never been exposed,
her naivete shows.
He's drawn to its uniqueness.
Hand over hand,
face to face
their pulses quickening.
A shout, a yell
They disentangle,
their guilty pleasure flushed on their faces.
Their paths temporarily seperated.
They smile inwardly
until their next rendevous.
what we could have been, 11:49 pm.
it's half an hour to wenjie's bday and i havent wrapped his present yet. xD hahah. i suck at wrapping presents. feel like just dumping the whole load at him. i love shopping for presents. it makes me super super happy when the recepient loves/likes their gifts. =D
anyways went out with my grandma again today. i love going out with her. it's like mother and daughter time just that we've got a generation between us. she's so nice la. walked around parkway with me to find the better salon amongst those at parkway and marine parade.
later while i was doing my hair, she managed to intimidate the senior stylist, Bryan, to do EVERYTHING instead of dumping it off to the junior stylists and all. he even apologised for the junior staff's rudeness. =X feel sorry la. but he's quite good. i wasnt entirely sure about what kind of hairstyle i wanted so i said i trust him to make it good which he did. it's sooooooooooo nice. =D i've got cute bangs.
the highlights were good. it was mostly done by one of the juniors so.. =/ the colour's not too bad as time passes but i still kinda hate it. =X
okae. twenty minutes to midnight. trying to stay awake to wish wenjie happy bday before going to sleep. i've got to wrap his presents tomorrow, draw money (for tomorrow's outing), collect the cake, book tickets and more.
my grandma (from my indian side of the family)'s bday is on sunday. i've got two bdays to attend within a weekend. wooots. scrumptious indian meal! which means i've got to exercise tomorrow or sunday morning.
what we could have been, 11:34 pm.
I'M BACK~
hahaha. i think the last three days have just become one lazy week for me. watching kevin and the other boys go for golf and all the mummies and me relaxing back at the resort.
BINTAN IS A FREAKING EXPENSIVE PLACE. i mean come on, who would pay 14 freaking dollars an hour just for Internet? plus an simple (should have been free) buggy ride costs 75 bucks per person. it's pure greed and madness. oh yeah. a haircut there could cost ya at LEAST fifty bucks. and it's not necessarily guaranteed to be a good cut. -.-''
but i had a good time overall. made friends with both the mummies and the little and not-so-little boys. =D i already miss jonas, zach, sanjay, benjamin and uncle patrick and uncle francis [the coaches] and the mummies (whom i never learnt their names but i know their sons.)
OMG. i had the best massage ever there. the woman, dewi, was so small i was afraid she might not be that good but she was SUPER! =D had the best black pepper crab too. it's was super super good. normally i wouldnt eat a whole crab but i did! it was that good.
i miss bintan already..
what we could have been, 11:20 pm.
hmmm. nothing much to comment now. my fishies have survived one week! =D (in my house that's something to be said since all of lisa's fishes have died and majority of our fishes never pass the one week mark) go figure. =/
anyways POOKA is a horny fish. daaamn. it's super hyperactive and it's into blowing large bubble-thingies that wont disappear. EVER. nameless fish (the blue one) is pretty tame. it will come to the surface everytime i watch them. =) i need a name for it!! pookie's getting back its original colour kat! ever since i started feeding them these, erm, colour shine fish food. heh. it's probably the L'Oreal of fish food. xD
watched made of honour & narnia (again!) this week so far. luver-ly. =D gonna rent it to watch again when it comes out on DVD. cant wait till next week since it's WJ's bday. i think i've gone overboard with the presents. but i kinda misplaced one. =X hehehe.
what we could have been, 1:36 am.
i am a hopelessly romantic sap. rented 27 dresses and i was sighing over the entire thing. of course, i was oogling at james marsden too. heh. xD anyways, i think romance scripwriters make their money from fools like me. =/ we fall in love with the romantism of the IDEA that it could actually happen when in reality, it's more likely than not that it happens.
my marketing exam is in like 12 and a half hours. i am seriously nervous. >.< did some studying today but i still dont feel too good about it. hiiiiks.
happy 19 months WJ. ily! =D
what we could have been, 1:34 am.
today had Media Tech exam. ARGHX. dunno if can pass or not. hope i do. was super blur and i kept repeating a lot of points in all my answers. the whole nonevent event is pissing me off. please dont play that innocence, we all can see through it. sure sure, you may have the whole class eating out of the palm of your hand but i hardly care.
went to parkway for tea. haha. KFC! xD helped WJ pick out a present for my sister coz he hadnt given her anything. although it's like she's not grateful la. -.- \/\/evers man.
dinner was pretty good. ate at the asia grand restaurant. the restaurant near my school. heh. WJ came along too. sadly he kinda spoiled his phone when he got home. poor poor darling.
lmao. there's this weirdo 'this is not me' who put a uber lame post on my tag. totally gay. 'when cheese is the lord almight, you will all bow down to me'? well yeah. when i'm the Queen of England you can kiss my @$$, loser. -.-
anyways. HAPPY FOURTEENTH BIRTHDAY LISA! P.S. only a bitch would think that others want to see her stuff and only come to a conclusion in which the situation is something she practices. when her head's out of her own @$$, kindly tell her there are other ways to find information.
what we could have been, 10:14 pm.
SATURDAY
slacked at home with jacky and kevin. watched tv. played maple. nothing much to say. then later in the afternoon we went to parkway to find durian. OMFG, what is it with SGeans and durians? i used to like them but now.. =/ well, my reasons are kinda weird so i won't comment on them here.
so walked around in the freaking RAIN. it's not the light drizzle or whatever. it's the heavy downpour sort which drenches everything in its way. -.- so me and jacky were thoroughly thoroughly soaked by the time we found the teeny tiny bakery, Prima Deli. daaamn. the blocks are so confusing la.
then cabbed down to raina & jon's house. daamn again. the cab fare was so EXX thanks to the bad weather and traffic. jon jon and his friend, whom later i christened Peanut, were both sleeping in his room la. i was kinda shocked into silence when i flung open the door. hahhaa. =X
anyways nothing eventful until dinner. me and debs ordered two large pizza thinking friend of jon, Peanut would be joining us. but he didnt.
instead they surprised jon jon by getting a cake for him (as did we but ours was for both lisa and jon jon) hahaha. so we had two cakes on the rooftop. typically they smashed cake all over jon.
later played mahjong with jon and his friends since kat and all went to bed pretty early. grudgingly i have to admit i suck at this game coz EVERYONE won except me. until the end then i finally won THREE games. hahah. Peanut, Renoma, Dave, Eugene(?) and this chinese dude all also WOW addicts. -.- they kept switching between mahjong and world of warcraft.
SUNDAY
nothing to report la. just that i'm really annoyed.
WHAT IS WITH PEOPLE AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE FRIENDSHIPS THEY HAD TO BUY OTHER FRIENDSHIPS?
