today managed to wake up in the mornign and get to Andrew's church to witness his baptism.. his was one of immersion in water.. first time i witnessed this kind of baptism actually.. and most prob wont undergo this.. the baptism service in my church is different.

then after tat went to bugis.. wanted to juz takeaway some lunch but ended up being attracted to the boutiques instead.. hehehe.. then i bought this top from m)phorsis at juz 10 bux!!! 70% discount.. haha i only buy clothes from there during their sales.. which as you can see.. is qte a big thing.. heez

and and and -- this i muz say -- crystal jade has opened another kitchen at bugis!!! ok i noe it may seem like juz a small hting.. but combine one of my fav restaurants with my fav hangout.. and you have a big rxn from me! hehee =P

realised i dun like to think.......i feel more than i think..and i often use my intuition for judgement.. and it seems like alot of times they are deep in my subconscious.. tats y very often i feel sthg.. but i dun really noe wat they are, and how to express them..suppose tats y i say my communication skills are lousy.. heh.. no choice, my brain is small.. hahaaa

even as i type the above paragraph, i'm squeezing my brain juices to figure things out.. to figure wat is gg on..

hmm..... am i stoopid or wat........ ha-ha

today is a saturday!!!!!

so far all my holiday saturdays have been spent at home. no dates! no tv! so boring. in a stoning mood for most of the day.
did nothing much.. played a bit of piano, read a bit. and only 30 min of tv tats slightly interesting. bleah.

all the hype bout saturday being the most happening day of the week does'nt help either! k logically i noe its only cuz the poor working class have to work mon to fri so sat and suns are their only day to have fun. but not me. but still!.. esp when the tv station expects everyone to be out partying on sat so doesnt broadcast any interesting progs.. arrgh~

anw yest sthg embarrassing happened to me. dunno y i was really really rude to this lady.. dunno wat came over me.. right in the middle of orchard road! everyone saw my rude act.. so embarrassing..

hmmz but its a good thing la.. woke me up.. made me realise tat i've been getting more and more aggressive..... this is baaaaaaaaaaaadddd!!! i guess its a side effect of growing to be bolder.. to dare to ask for things which i want instead of juz cowering and accepting juz the things tat pple give me. i mean ya i still think its good.. cuz this attitude got me things which i otherwise wldn't have gotten.. but now htis incident has reminded me tat i muz have control and not let it get to my head.. ie its good to be assertive, but not aggressive.. again, its MODERATION.. (xj: wats tat phrase again??)

oh, and yest i discovered i failed my maths!!! terrible. i mean i wldn't care less if not for tat 1) i've yet to clear another equally heavy subject. means besides the really horrible and heavy year 3 subjs tat i've to take next sem, i still have to take care of these 2 subjects. an alternative is to take them in year 4, but i'd have my fyp to be concerned about. arrgh. headache. and 2)i'd think maths carries a heavy weightage in the calculation for honours. makes things worse. =(

k enough of griping. falling asleep already. shall be slping soon.. but before tat, shall have prata as supper..yummy.. *winkz*

oh and i realise tat i blog better at night.. have more of the blogging mood at this time. hmmz actually generally i juz have more mood to do more htings at night than in the day. htink i've turned into a night person.. hmmz then isn't it kinda hard for me to revert back to the slp early regime?? nvm, for teh sake of my health (and panda eyes), shall try. hard. bleah.

eh. hope i'm talking sense...........

i juz came back from spa at amore fitness club. now body oily all over...

hmmz it wasnt taaat relaxing.. only truly enjoyed teh head massage.. but i guess its cuz its my "virgin" massage so my body's kinda hard so the masseuse had to knead qte hard.. owww..

but well muz say its really nice of my sis to top up $38 on top of the $50 voucher for my spa trip.. heez..i'm qte lucky to get such a generous sis =P

din slp well last night.. realised nowadays if i start slping past a certain time i'll tend to slp less..i'll juz wake up after a certain duration la

wanted to go watch CO performance on sunday but apparently its full house. full house! cna't believe it. its only by tjco.. i wonder y its so popular..

anw i was saying in some prev post tat im' losing memory.. i think its getting kinda bad, gotten so bad tat i have to think for a while before i can even remember wat i did the day before.. tsk tsk..

and dunno y nowadays everyone is trying to SAVE MONEY.. imean save money we muz (altho i'm sure our money's not in any danger =P) but i value recreation too.. and somethings we juz have to pay before we get them.. i mean isnt it kinda boring to do the same things everytime?? ie the things which are free????

oh but dun get me wrong.. i'm not against saving money.. think its time to start our financial planning ald actually.. in fact kinda proud tat i saved bout 10plus on tcc yesterday.. heez.. hmm nice main, nice drink =)

ya wat i'm trying to say is.. have MODERATION!!! save money we muz, but i think we dun have to go to the extreme..think we'd be depriving ourselves of a lot of things if we restrain ourselves from doing this doing tat all cuz we want to save money..

i dunno if i have mentioned this to anyone before (probably yes)
but i realised tat in MOST things i do, i prefer to do in moderation. (notice the word most, i dun use extremes like ALL.. hehe). like for eg i dun adopt stick rigidly to a stand, i'll tend to qualify my stands. and i guess its also cuz i'm greedy, i want everything.. like in teh above paras, i want money, i also want recrea. ya.. and etc etc.........

heeeeeeeeezz

hmmz.. i dunno who's gonna be teh next AMI but i have a feeling if its Diana.. pple will say its racism.. oh well

intro:
havent been blogging for qte a few days!
shiseido
50 first dates
financial freedom vs financial control
there are somethings tat i juz find it v hard to figure out..
my mem is failing me..
cashstrapped

body:
havent been blogging for qte a few days!
since: 3 days ago. hmmz realised nowadays i blog at an interval of 3 days each. i dun do it deliberately, it juz happens this way.. also dunno y.
why: cuz my lifestyle change have been successful! *beams* instead of being online in the wee hours of the morning, i now come online in the day. so if i go out, i wont have chance to come online.. and i wont touch the comp once i come back (cuz i'm afraid i wont be able to get myself off the comp before 12. so time online is decreased, consequently less chances to blog. there you have it.

shiseido
went for shiseido talk yesterday.
seems like there're alot of these kind of talks organised everytime in ntu, but juz tat i din get to hear of them. mebbe cuz i dun really participate in much of the activities that shiseido/other cosmetic companies sponsors
tips/knowledge learnt:
a)wash your face downward and outward to avoid pushing dirt back into pores again (the pores grow downward, dun really understand wat the presenter meant either actually =P)
b)all families have a smell of their own so if a member has BO, he can't depend on his family to alert him, cuz most prob they have the same smell and thus they cant detect the BO. Hahaha!
c)besides dry skin, oily skin, combi skin, there's another skin type called "dehydrated skin". skin is oily underneath, but dry on the surface.

**** saved on 25th May at 1230 ****

right now i'm kinda tired.. its only 1am but i feel really slpy ald.. can see how successful my lifestyle change is, eh?? hehehe
here only cuz waiting for hair to dry..

anw ya too tired to continue wat i left off yesterday.. so mebbe shall continue next time i blog....... heez

well today had a fun day.. ate at tcc -- hmmz this is teh 4th time im' eating there in a week, cuz i've got coupons there! i save up to 50% of the bill =D --, played pool (surprisingly i din get thrashed, hehehe), and ate icecream at my favourite cafe -- wat else -- cartel!! hehehe.. but this time ate almond and caramel cup.. nice too! =D

hmmz.. some stuff are juz so knotty.. fear of falling/being hurt and past bad experiences doensn't help.. dun really dare to htink about them..

i wonder if i get a bf, will htings be teh same?? most of my frens start to neglect me when they get gf/bf. altho its understandable, i still resent tat.. i have lost at least 3 good frens becuz of this.. its more than enough.. but if i get attached, will i do tat to my frens too?? even if i want to meet up, will my frens want to go out with me?? =|

anw i'm gg spa tmr!! will be my first time there.. and only time in teh near future.. haha cuz i'm not so rich -- a trip there costs AT LEAST $50!!! -- i got this as a bday gift from my sis (voucher)

and frenship, once damaged, takes time to heal.. it can only be the same when the hurt it healed.. and not necessarily when forgiveness takes place..

arrgh the chinese phy reminded me to slp before 12 juz today and now i'm still not slping.. can juz feel my eyes turnign darker!!!! *blush*

shall go slp soon.. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

lazy to blog.............

thinking thinking thinking.. dreaming dreaming dreaming.. musn't let them become castles in the air..

i like this: "if you want something you've never had, you must do something you've never done"

hmmz there's this niggling sound at the back of my comp.. sounds like some insect. *frown* either there's really no insect, or i'm really blind.

music of the moment: A Day Without Rain

in the end i really fell sick.. got flu. (what else) and its as usual, very bad state for first one (at most two days) then fast recovery.. right now i'm about 90% recovered. :D hmmz and thankfully this time is not tat bad.. hmmz realised my flu seems to be getting milder as i grow older. lets hope the trend continues :P

and i havent been gg online in the night for teh past .. err. 3 nights! hehehe.. change of lifestyle i hope.. hmmz but think i wont quit entirely la.. otherwise i will miss my frens.. ehehehee....

ya.. finally went to consult chinese phy for my panda eyes :P and he convinced me to slp earlier.. said i had too much "yin" in me (nopez its not cuz of my name hehe :P).. tats y nowadyas slping at 1 liao.. had expected him to do some acupuncture or wat actually.. but lucky he juz gave me 2 bottles of some black liquid (taste is fortunately ok) and a packet of pills. said will see effects after taking them regularly for bout 3 months. so yeah. hope it works *cross fingers*

hmmz basically these few days din really do anything much.. slept alot on sunday (cuz i was sick and also cuz the impact of the phy's words were still fresh on my mind, heh), monday went out to buy gift and yesterday went back to sch for a while.. have been kinda outta touch with dance for a while liao...

after buying the gift on monday went to eat at a jap restaurant at bugis.. the one next to fish and co..hehe seems like i keep recommending jap rests.. but they are not my fav food k! lest anyone gets teh wrong idea here and keeps treating me to jap meals.. wahhahaa.. :P
anw tat restaurnat is actually qte expensive.. but think they're having a promotion, with set meals juz gg for $9.. good bargain. lets see.. the set consists of main, rice, appetizer, soup, choice of chawanmushi or california maki, and 2 pcs of fruits. htink its not bad..

hmmz recently my low self-confidence have been at work again. want to try sthg tat i havent tried before, and previously tot i cldnt do..but i'm really afraid to take a step into it juz to find out i'm heading towards failure. but i juz keep telling myself tat juz cuz i can't do sthg now, doesnt mean i can't do it forever. and anyway watever the case pple learn from mistakes. life isn't always as small i think it to be. heh. so i shld SMILE!

ok better go off now.. mtg rainne and dawn (hmm mebbe i shld call myself cloud.. you noe as in wispie cloud.. heh) to chill out later.

music of the moment: A Day Without Rain

hmmz........ think i'm falling sick.... ate too much choc juz now..

ya finally went to max brenner's.. hmmz ate this french crepe with vanilla icecream and fruits and of cuz choc sauce.. really nice except tat i htink i'm about to kennu flu again... juz when i'm enjoying the honeymoon of being well and healty.. bleah..

anw went to look for jobs today.. din get any except tat at least i have started.. decreases teh inertia of looking..

but still htink i'll b kinda scared when i call companies up.. also dunno y but i'll b really nervous whenever i call companies up.. looks like i'm really not cut out to be a receptionist.. haha

hmz since im' falling sick i htink im' slping soon..
fact tat my gum aches doesn't help (my gums are kinda weird.. they'd hurt every once in a while after the minor surgery -- cut the gum to allow wisdom tooth to grow last dec.. juz before xmas! so cldn't eat teh xmas goodies =|)

music of the moment: A Day Without Rain

watched troy today...... was a nice show.. altho half teh time i cldn't really catch wat they were saying.. haha. think im' really not an action person.... everytime got war movie i always dunno wat's gg on.. like lotr 2 the 2 towers... it was mostly a battle instalment.. then i'd b kinda lost in the strategies.. heeez..........

yeah.. i was concentrating mostly on teh romance betw archilles and the err.. dunno wats her name.. the cousin.. think its interesting.. if one day your lover kills your cousin becuz your cousin killed his cousin by mistake.. how would your days be like?? i mean of cuz i dun wanna find out.. and oops i let slip of the plot~ =P

hmmz but i think she seems too young for archilles tho.. mebbe shld get an older actress?? heh.. hmmz but i guess tats where her innocence comes in.. so charming.. sighz.. =P its like after i came home from teh movie im still thinking bout her and archilles.. heeeeez.......if only he survived........i think its so romantic lohz.. wat happened at hte end.. (shant let slip anymore.. heh)hmmz.. machiam i watch romance movie like tat. .hahaha.. kk shall stop swooning.. heh

hmmz the day was spoilt at the last part when i was online...somethings.. are juz so weird, so contradictory.. so right, yet so wrong.. =|

hmmz planned to look for part time work tmr..... hope i wont wake too late =P actually i'm qte scared of gg to look for work tmr.. also dunno y.. mebbe i juz hve too much inertia in me..and also i htink i'll bungle things up.. cuz so far in all my life i've only passed one job interview.. and tat interview is by a job agency so they dun really care also.. heh

okz i finally got drunk yest night liao.. was playing indian poker in chalet.. and i keep kenna-ing the smallest card! still rem..its always 2 spades.. heh.. finally tested my limit.. sad to say it was only 2 styrofoam cupful of gin/tonic and whiskey/ginger beer.. heh.. qte embarrassing actually... to be drunk after so little.. but hey i seldom drink k.. i'm a guai1 guai1 nv3.. heh

hmmz interesting experience of being drunk.. din lose my consciousness.. nor my memory.. juz tat i realised my motor skills were impaired.. like my stability was obviously not v good ald..when i turn i'll become soooooooo giddy.. and i realised i cldn't really control my hand motions.. such tat they became qte jerky.. heh..was qte apparant when i was playing bridge..ended up throwing the cards out everytime when i din mean to.. and not to mention my kinda off aiming when throwing my bag to the corner.. heh..

yeah and rxn time is lengthened... now i know why pple blabber when they're drunk..cuz before they can realise wat they're bout to say, restrain themselves from saying wat they'd normally not say, they say out ald.. heh

and my perception of my surroundings is not tat good too.....
like i'm in a mental haze.. heh.. took me qte some time for me to perceive teh presence of other pple at the beach near the bench we were sitting.. the dimness of the lights din really help much la.. heh

but i notice ya.. tat i feel better when i'm walking about.. moving.. rather than juz stationary sitting there.. made me feel like puking more.. which i did la.. but not in a spectacular way.. haha.. not like this person who puked halfway through dancing onto the surrounding club-goers (as ty described).. i juz puked quietly into the sink.. hehe.. right xj?? hehe

hmmz the following morn (ie this morn) we went to sing karaoke.. heh first time tat i sang more than 1 chinese song.. qte cheap actually.. set lunch included in 3hrs plus.. all in all only $66.80 for 6pple.. ok la granted it was wed morn near noon.. haha

hmmz then came back.. after doing a to-do list of wat im' supposed to do htis hols (which includes consulting a zhong1yi1 for my panda eyes) i started to repair my qin2.. my baby.. heh..left it alone for qte a few months liao.. its time i took care of it again.... at least muz touch once in a hwile tat kinda thing..

yepz so i changed teh first and second string.. but havent tuned the first string to the correct pitch.. cuz its really qte... err.. scary.. cuz if you're not careful, the string might juz break anytime and hit me on teh face or wat. then will have cut on face.. my frens kenna this qte a few times.. i also kenna but on my thigh lucky.. (i tune hte qin with the qin across my lap. so its eitehr my face or my thigh.. nothing surprising.. heh)
so you have to coax the string.. ie do it slowly.. so do until now i havent completed the task..haha.. cuz i rusty le.. v long nev tune string so cant tune with much confidence nowadays.. (confidence whether the string will remain intact when you turn the zhou2 each time heh)

anw speaking of my baby.. i've got another baby in dhs..and i so much prefer tat one.. cuz 1. its easier to play 2. it sounds better. 3. it looks prettier 4. the goldplated "frets" will shine if you play it often cuz the friction removes oxidation. (oh well but it costs twice as much as the one at home)
but! the sad thing is its not mine..so i had to return it to dhs and pass it on to my juniors when i graduated.. and i was so sad to see it being neglected by my juniors when i went back for a visit.. can tell cuz the frets dun shine anymore.. and when i played it.. it sounds.. hoarse.... doesn't sound as smooth.. *sniffle*

sighz i miss my baby.. the one in dhs.. i can still rem the id number.. its LQ14.. =(
nvm mebbe i shld juz conc on the one at home.. altho it keeps giving me probs.... strings breaking.. frets falling off.. sighz

hmz actually still got stuff wanna blog.. but... mebbe tmr or wat.. a bit late le..

nitez pple~

hmmz today had a full day.. woke up went acs barker. then later wedding dinner..

went acs barker to see wat robotics is all about.. heez. actually i kinda suakoo.. (Shao: juz wanna spell it this way cannot ah =P)din really noe wat pple do in robotics.. but now i roughly noe la.. haha.. it seems fun leh.. think i'd like doing some simple robotics stuff.. but i see ty do like so sophisticated.. kinda scared off.. haha

heh anw felt so extra there.. cuz i knew nothing bout micromouse so cld only be like a general helper.. heh.. like i helped to put up the maze.. and.. and.. and.. err i think tats all.. hmmz i din even go buy coffee for the guys.. haha..

anw while i was at the robotics lab.. i realised y my acs frens are all a certain kuan4 one.. haha cuz acs really drill it into them..there were really alot of posters on the walls of teh robotics labs.. *wink* oh well there were qte alot of quotes put up on teh walls in my secondary school too.. but they speak of different things.. hmmz i think its worth a tot..worth htinking y my sec sch chose to put up those quotes, and y acs chose to put up those posters... hmmmmmz...........
hehehe (anw i mean no offence to acs guys.. =P)

then later i went to wedding dinner.. hmmz nothign much (as usual i dun really noe the bride/bridegroom, went there juz cuz i havent been to a wedding dinner for a long time.. heh) except tat i realised that the relatives there who are the same batch as me.... they're mostly married with kids =| felt kinda weird to realise tat its gonna happen to me in juz a few years time too.. heh.......

okz ezams are over....................now its the hols! suddenly its not even at my doorstep.. its inside my house! so sudden!

so sudden tat i developed post-exam blues on friday.. came home so sad on friday! haha ok la wasnt really all bout end of exams..but really la also cuz like.. i suddenly lost focus??? like there's nothing major for me to do anymore??? and now tat i'm suddenly so free i forgot wat i wanna do liao.. the things which i told myself i'm gonna do during hols in my daydreaming sessions juz less than 3 days ago

yest was my good fren's 21st bday celebration.. went to her house, juz a simple celebration.. but her mum baked teh entire 60x50cm (estimation)birthday cake! her mum's really great at cookign this kind of thing.. the cake really looked pro loh.. if my fren din tell me i'd nev have guessed her mum baked it.. the cake was really special too.. had 2 layers.. top half was white.. bottom was chocolate..and nutella cream on top and inbetw.. and she used this metallic-looking pink sugar balls to decorate teh cake.. nice loh!

then went to zouk.. was my first time there yesterday night..heez.. suakoo hor? =p hmmz was trying kinda hard to move my body as naturally as the other pple but juz cldn't really do it loh.. fren said it was cuz i wasn't high enough.. she said muz drink more.. heh.. i think like tat then i gonna b broke liao.. i find it qte hard to get tipsy leh =p

then stayed overnight at her place......hmmz actually all in all we din really do anything exciting..juz played some bridge.. chatted.. teased each other.. reminscence... we're kinda boring pple..heh.. but.. we still enjoyed ourselves.. guess as usual its not teh things we do.. but the company tat counts =)

anw this morn at my fren's place i lost my contact lens! and the hting is.. how i lost it was really qte weird..
its like i cldn't find it anywhere loh.. i unscrewed my lens case juz to find an empty well. i mean not as i took it out, dropped it and cldn't find it.. it wasnt' in teh lens case in the first place.. and i distinctly rem putting it inside the night before loh! (wasn't drunk at all so i shld noe) sighz. then i felt like half a bat the whole day today........cuz i only lost the right side lens..

and actually wat i mind is not the lack of comfort... its tat one lens gonna cost me $150!!!!!! and i only juz wore it for bout a year.. my prev one lasted me for 3plus years k........sighz. not as if i'm not poor enough ald...

hmmz now listening to my fren's composition.. sung by his fren.. really nice.. kinda proud tat i have so many frens who're so talented =)

i guess.. we all have an inner child in us.....??????? hehehe...........

music of the moment: A Day Without Rain

hmm today was econs.. 2nd time taking the paper.. heh.. anw i woke up at 430am to study for it today! but it was a wrong choice.. cuz i realised waking up at such an unearthly time robbed me of my thinking abilities =| so went back to slp after bout an hour of studying but din fully regain my thinking abilities after i woke up.. hence made a lot of careless mistakes in the exam.. =| so now i realised tat if ever i wanna sacrifice my slp i shld sacrifice teh early portion.. and not the later part.. cuz things werent so bad when i slept late instead of waking up super early.. hmmz..
plus it was a bit difficult (the temporary brain handicap din help much), tried to complete the paper but still lost qte a few marks.. hmmz but i shld be able to pass it.. oh well its my 2nd time taking the paper so it doen'st matter whether i get A or D.. (only the grades for the first attempts are taken into account for the calculation for honours)


now to go on studying for my mechanics of machines and life sciences..

oh wow its juz 2 more days to the hols~ =)

music of the moment: A Day Without Rain

hmmz 3 more papers to go.....all crammed within 3 days...... its kinda intensive for a last min gal like me.. hmmz actually i dun really mind ending late.. cuz i noe if i end earlier means i'd get less days to study in between papers.. and as easily inferred, i really need those breaks to study.. heh. and i think 5 papers in a row is juz too tiring for me!

arrgh tmr morn (yepz cuz its not 12 yet.. heh) is my econs paper but i've only studied till halfway (nah blogging doesn't take much time =P)

k gtg study/think of strategies to pass the paper tmr morn. =p

to all whose papers have not yet ended: keep on striving!
