Discover my world as I live it.

results of a mahjong stayover at my house...the next morning....people just get bored 





SCARY!!!!!! i was so freaked out my all my sadako poses when i was viewing them at 12MN....i'll post details on what happened but it was extremely freaky...Comments!! 





Hai CheeSeZ! ME in my summer yukata. Somehow, my frens managed to help me tied this thing on and let it stay on long enough for me to take some photos as well as erm...experiment with certain chilling poses
LaCheL




Ctd'

Note: All characters in this account are NOT fictional and the author proclaims copyright rules over the retelling of this series of unfortunate events. Wahaha....so sue me xyz.

Anyway, after the perfume idiot zoomed off, I suddenly realised that it was already 5.30pm and we have yet to go to the anime shop. So we quickly took a train to Raffles place. Again, we almost missed our stop but didn't, so great right?

Wrong.

Coughcough* When we first met up that day, I mentioned in passing to xyz that the place was near Raffles based on my memory. The problem is, we neglected (okie okie!! I neglected..HAPPY??) to check whether it was Raffles place or Raffles city (i.e City Hall stop). So, since we were so busy talking and just walking like zombies, somehow we assumed it was Raffles place.

Anyway, I was having my doubts when we nearing the control station and wanted to check my map first before exiting the place but NOoooo....mr. xyz had already zoomed out. Gawds...of all the times...he just had to be so efficient now!

I took out three crumpled pieces of paper that was our map. Staring back at me...CITY HALL...crap. Oh well, at least things was keeping with the spirit of the day, i.e. compulsively missing our stops.

You see, the map is quite er...complicated. I think I'll scan it and post it online for your viewing pleasure =P

Anyway, one of the reasons why I got xyz to come with me is precisely for situations such as this. Oh well, we could very well headed back into the station and effortlessly taken the train back to city hall and start navigating from there but I guess xyz was quite sure how to walk from where we were and somehow 'back-read' the landmarks on the map. Hmm...army sure did pay off. Haha..truthfully, xyz you did a good job. I just a follower...macham treasure hunt.

At least, I got to walk past Clark quay and act all touristy.

And Lo and Behold...we actually found the shop! The map, by the way, is super detailed. Even xyz could tell that my fren must have visited this place A LOT.

So happy!! Squeal!

I finally got my KENSHIN four part OVA dvd: Trust and Betrayal for the unbelievable price of $25!!!! Oh wow oh wow....Somemore, it's Jap with eng subs!

The shop was quite small but crapped with stuff, figurines galore and anime paranaphalia. Prince of Tennis, Naruto, Sakura Wars, Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, Full Metal Alchemist, One piece, Kenshin.............this are just some that I know would interest my frens =)

Anyway...I saw this really really cool Kenshin figurine. It was really so beautiful that even xyz agreed that it was cool. I think its Kenshin when he was 15 yrs and in all his Hitokiri Battousai glory. The angular face, penetrating eyes, gorgeous straight red hair pulled up in a sexy high ponytail. The nondescript but essentially forbidding navy blue gi and white hakama...He is perfectly crafted and airbrush painted...and even comes with a real metal samurai sword....

I WANT......


but $400.....guys..u listening??? This would make a really really great 21st birthday present.

Seriously.


Okay, show's over folks, i have a party to prepare for =). Scram....and start saving.




Hi...I'm feeling so much better. All thanks to my wonderful frens who care for me HUGZzz**

i think my msn nick provided a huge clue.....
"i'm sick of being made the fool....just shoot me now"

but I guess that really sums my feelings cuz I'm really tired. All my past experiences and this one seems to affirm that I'm really hopelessly foolish in love. And so, needless to say, I was depressed and have been since I touched down in Singapore for about 43hrs now.

I never realised what a big reaction I would get from my frens when they saw my nick but it really warms my heart. Because I thought that no one would notice.

And now, finally thanks to my zhi xin, xyz, wendy and weiqi, I'm so much better!!

I just absolutely loved what weiqi wrote on msn the minute she say my nick...(if not for this I would not have log on to blog =p Lurve you gal!!)


my hp looks like a box says:
heyhey
my hp looks like a box says:
who made u a fool
my hp looks like a box says:
i bite him/her for u

I just started laughing...and really meant it. =)

A BIG HUG to my Mummy too, I'm glad I was able to share my feelings, fears and insecurities with you without being judged. I LOVE YOU.

I'm back in Business!!
**************************

*Updates for Japan trip will come later when i get the photos from my cousin~

Tuesday:

Thanks to my mum who wanted me to go downtown to return my rented japan phone near Somerset: Comcenter, I arranged a trip together with xyz to find that elusive anime shop.

Okay mr ang wt, stop that sniggering course there is absolutely NOTHING between us. It's just that he was online and easy to bully. OooPPS.

BUT, it really was a very very surreal and comical day for us...

Okie...so we were supposed to meet at twelve at Clementi mrt but I kinda woke up only at ten. My room was a mess cuz I only reached home around twelve last night from Japan, dirty clothes galore, plastic bags all over the place, gifts and stuff from Japan....Total mayhem. And I had to straighten this out before I could get out of the house. By the way, where did my wallet with my cards and stuff go to??

10.30 a.m. Shit...I'm gonna be late. Ack...my hair*

10.45 a.m. Clean jeans...I need clean jeans!!....

11a.m. SAVED!! Xyz called to say that he was still stuck in some clinic...will be later...YES!

11.58a.m Crap, he smsed to say he's done and leaving soon. Where is my wallet??? MUM!!!!!!!!!!!

12.10p.m. Finally got my wallet and cards and money...packed bag....hair looks gross but its just xyz...ahah....okie now....where is the map to that shop...

*yes...I have a map hand drawn by my fabulous anime fanatic GYWNNE!! I worship you for your generosity!~ haha this is what we do during our lab session...talk about anime and come up with a map that has 10 parts on Azone notepads.

12.15p.m.. Rush downstairs...rush upstairs....forgot impt paper for returning japan hp.

12.17p.m. Rush back downstairs...then up again...forgot handphone...but sidetrack and started searching through piles and piles of papers and lectures notes where I know that map is somewhere.....i wonder if xyz would kill me if I suggested trying to find the place without the map....

12.20p.m VICTORY! I finally found the map so happy....RUsh downstairs to put the paper into my greensling back on the sofa downstairs...and then, I realised I had rush downstairs without my hp.....AGAIN...and people wonder how I stay slim...

12.30p.m. Finally....I'm out of the house. Argh...so hot...I wanna go back to Japan.

12.31p.m. Ah ah ah!! Taxi right at my doorstep....my neighbours alighting...I wanna take!! YAy,....maybe this day isn't as bad as i thought.

Hahaha...yah rite.

In a nutshell, xyz and I started talking nonstop the whole time....OMG...i think you can tell how much since we both drank 1 upsized LJSilver and 1 medium milo MACs within the time frame of 1 to 5p.m. Heez

We talked so much we missed our stops like dunno how many times, kept walking to the wrong escalators, walking to a deadend in Cineleisure...ah u get the idea...one sotong to another.

Oh, but I haven gotten to the most interesting part of the day. Wow....we both kena insulted leh!!
Impudent little girl. Slap her then she knows.

Okay, so xyz and I were just merrily making our way along the stretch from HMV towards Tangs when we kena ambushed by this survey person.

Actually, the girl was petite and sweetlooking, she looked rather young to be doing this i thought.
Anyway, she began asking if we would mind doing a survey. I looked warily at her but I guess she took that as a yes and fired away.

" You're not married are you?"
SWEATDROP*
Almost immediately, " Are you both boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"NOO!!!" we both chimed and step away from each other...

"Then okay, I'll handle her(me) first then get back to you(xyz)"

(To me) "So, how old are you?"

"Twenty"

Then I saw her eyes grew wide..."er..Twenty exactly?"
Of course...then what...do I need to count the months for you...how about days, hours and seconds......increasing urge to scratch those eyes out

"Then you(xyz)?"

"Twenty also"

"Oh okay"

Then, that was it.

I mean like...what the! What was she expecting???

HARLOW....DO I look that old to you???? DO I LOOK LIKE I'M MARRIED????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and what the hell were you insinuating with that shit about "TWENTY EXACTLY??"

What...you think i'm hiding my true age from you??

FOR your information, I am a mature, intelligent, pretty gal who is single and available and STILL TWENTY!

God forbid if I see her again. Sheesh...the quality of people they get nowadays.

XYZ....next time we go out...u dress young young hor....all your fault.

**********

That's not it...later....while we were bumming at Shaw sitting under a poster of Initial D ( JAY CHOU...anyone??? I wanna see...jio me jio me!), we kena ambushed again.

This time, the attacker was some bespectacled girl with a loud voice and a penchance for using her 'ren2 tou2'.

You see, she was trying to sell us some perfume...apparently unisex...As you can tell after our earlier experience, xyz and I weren't really amused.

So before, I can even tell her to go away, she began spraying the perfume on xyz and me...crap...shouldn't you use those paper thingies instead?????? What if we have allergies!?!

Then she begins by 'lying' about this being a survey. Hello...I'm not stupid you know...where is your pen and paper to record what we say. She asks what we think about the perfume and if we think whether $100 for this perfume is too expensive.

I didn't mince my words..."I think this perfume smells very common...$100 too expensive"

Unfazed, she begins her sales pitch on how much the perfume is going for now at the INCREDIBLE price of $20 with a free polo t-shirt thrown in plus gurantee.

Now, I was curious about the gurantee...I'm not at all interested in buying her product but i wanted to know how genuine this whole thing was. So I ventured, " what kind of gurantee?"

Nothing prepared us for her answer.

"My ren tou (head in chinese)la!!"

PENGZ...I have come to the conclusion that this girl is an idiot.
She starts about her phone number and stuff, but yah right...like you can't change your phone number anytime you want to.

Then, i tried to politly decline her offer, " er..but i seldom use perfume one"

Then, she killed herself with this comeback, "Aiyo I also! I have twenty perfumes leh...All also left some haven finished."

I replied, " Then what for I buy and put at home."

Finally, she realised she was not getting anywhere with us and promptly disappeared like this *Snap* and was off as suddenly as she came whizzing in.

SERIOUSLY....I feel like im surrounded by idiots. Please get your research right and plan what you wanna say. As for that survey girl, wear a NOH mask. For the uninformed, the Noh mask is from Japan and its white and it being a mask, covers that insulting wide open eyes.

***I end now...tired...Part 2 of this day will come later =)

For now, I need to go make a doll in the likeness of the survey girl..Now, where are my needles???




Back from japan. supposed to be happy and share nice stories with you guys but am in no mood now. Am very very very very heartbroken now.

I'm so sad. I think i'll join a nunnery.




Tuesday

I went to school. SHOC-KU! (*do it with a jap oops...no...'japanese' slang! See, at least I learnt something from my JS (Japanese studies) lecturer. Apparently, it's equivalent to what niggers are to the blacks? hmm)

Collected my final INUYASHA DVD babies from Leon! So happy...then i proceeded to take the wrong bus from Science.

Argh! I'm a failure. Can't believe that I am so blur as that....2 wasted years at NUS with my eyes closed. So, to preserve what little dignity I had left I arrived at the Engineering fac and withdrew money from the atm machine as if I meant to do that anyway. I'm kidding myself but at least it's not such a wasted trip ne? Besides, I could exercise walking from Engine back to Arts...WHEN THE BLASTED RIGHT BUS WOULD HAVE JUST TOOK ME 5 PLUS MINUTES I ENDED UP WANDERING AROUND FOR HALF AN HOUR! Sigh, and to think I knew that path so well in sem 2 of Year 1. BUT its enough that I ended up where I wanted to be...eventually.

Anyway, class started late with people trolling in after the lecturer. My first impression of the lecturer was how she reminded me of ONG TAI TAI or the retired Mrs Ong of CSS with her lion king hairstyle and weird fashion sense. Ah...and being an observant little girl i was I could tell that she was quite strict on puntuality. Anyway, Roy came in just in time for the viewing of "100 of Japanese cinema" or something to that effect. Actually, I came to the course knowing that I was going to drop it due to other commitments and a looming Japan trip but I thought I'd just find out what the module was about. Apparently, the title was a misnomer and the course was more 'Postwar ' than 'anime'. That itself wasn't really such a letdown though but once I heard about the project work I was glad to drop the module. Too much work =P.

After informing the lecturer i was dropping the class, I stuck around to wait for Roy who still wasn't sure whether he wanted the class either. So while he was busy getting aquainted with his potential groupmates, I stood behind observing. As the project could be on japanese films or anime, the group (minus roy=P) was quite for films as the lecturer was not a huge anime fan. There was one guy who really got on my nerves with his remarks on anime. He said, " Anyway, all anime boils down to love." I was like, " I beg your pardon, they do not!"

The nerve of that guy. It's not like i wanna defend anime because I like it but it the way he dismissed love that really got to me. Like I'm above it all, this love stuff. Pulease, you'll find the same issues in your so-called proper films too. It just shows how immature you are if you think you can reduce everything down to a neat little package because there is ALWAYS more to it. Love. What kind of love...between couples, family, friends, country, life? The degree of love and the phases and mutations of love. There is so much to say, so don't presume to be above all of these. Also, he neglects to mention other darker issues that anime can and has definitely addressed. This is not childsplay.

Anyway, my cheek was swollen. I got called a 'chipmunk' by Leon. Grrrr...

Wednesday
No Class!!

Thursday

I co-taught a life science course at Unity Sec (which I never knew even existed before today). BIG SHOCK again. Never have I seen how ill-behaved this kids where that I can't believe they are Sec3 students. I felt intimidated the moment they sauntered into class, creating such a huge ruckus. 2 boys disregarded Cheryl's and my presence and even wrote profanities on the white board. I think both of us wanted to come off as nice trainers but at the beginning the lack of cooperation was seriously daunting.

Soon however, Cheryl managed to get the class off to a good start and I was quite impressed by the way she handled them =) You go girl! As this was my first time as co-trainer, it took some time before I got into the swing of things but soon even I was feeling quite confident. The ony thing that marred the experience was when this really naughty BOY (I say 'boy' cause he was really childish...I'm so glad my css guys weren't like that back then) played with the micropipette. Actually, he was going to return it to the rightful place but he slotted it wrongly in the holder and when I told him the right orientation he started to get cheeky and began poking the pipette around. The last straw came when I saw him poked the pipette in a beaker containing some liquid. THAT's a CARDINAL NO-NO! Then I just saw red and literally roared at him...I think I must have scared a few years of growth out of him. "OF ALL THE THINGS, NEVER EVER PUT THE PIPETTE IN WATER!"

The whole class just went quiet. Truth be told, maybe he thinks it was just a harmless game but I told the whole class and him many times that the micropipette is really expensive and costs a few hundred dollars. So, in the first place if he had just placed the pipette back like he was supposed to he wouldn't have gotten scolded by me. Besides, I was not going to get intimated by a bunch of kids. I guess he just had to find out what my choir juniors already knew, I am scary when I'm mad.

The funny thing was that Jac ( the organiser for this course) was present too and even said that I did the right thing by scolding him. But, somehow, I felt quite guilty too. Afterall, he's just a kid who didn't know any better. So, I told him later, " I'm sorry that I shouted at you just now. " But he said, " It's okay." I'm glad he took it well because I would have felt really guilty even though he deserved the scolding.

What really bothers me about this experience is how these students think that they can get away with such behaviour, this blatant disrespect for authority and lack of common decency. What is going through these student's minds...it really bothers me.
**************************

At night, I met the gang for a Pizzahut dinner at JP. It's been such a long time since I saw most of us together, Wendy, Weiqi, Yanhui, Ruhui and Huiwei. Pity that Shuhui couldn't join us. BEst of all, no boyfriends allowed! haha! So Poor Raymond. =P

I had such a great time catching up on practically everything...And what's more it's all because all these GREAT friends that I have another oriface on my body. Let's see:

Yi Lin: Hey, I feel like having another ear hole leh.

Weiqi: Yah lor.

Yi Lin: Eh, we go do together leh!

Wendy and the rest overhears...plotting*

Others: Eh, you all both do now leh..(course we are all bored with nothing to do, I guess they wanna have some excitement at our expense)

*Outside some random jewellery shop
Wendy: Hey, I ask them whether can do 2 people for same as one with both holes. If can, you both do hor.

.................

Wendy: CAN!!

Weiqi and Yi Lin sweatdropz*

So, I ended up with another stud in my left ear. Ahaha but not before I had some fun with Huiwei. No way am I just gonna provide entertainment! Sorry Huiwei for saring you like that but I think you'd thank me too for finally getting rid of your misery =p

Sigh...thanks guys...I wouldn't have done it on my own.


Friday to Sunday
SHoPPinG GaLoRe with Diana!! I bought so many things I'm afriad to count my receipts...I just charged it to my DBS card. On friday, we went to Bugis Village which is air conditioned now! Oh my...I'm really out of touch, seems its been this way for a few months now...but this is one of my shopping dreams come true!

I bought 2 gorgeous ethnic skirts in different colours! really cool...will get the pictures out asap =P. A black giodarno halterneck-cum-sphagetti which I changed into immediately. A ring-cum-bracelet, 3 pairs of earrings which i went halfies with Weiqi...CHEAP CHEAP!!

I got a gorgeous beaded belt-cum-necklace-cum-lasso-noose...whatever. Me thinks I'm beginning to sound like Steve Irwin, The CRoC HunTer!

A great pair of Levis which set me back by a hundred plus quid, a fabulous purple hat, loads of girly necessities, a toe ring, bangles, a really really fantastic bikini...

And best of all, a really really GREAT HAIR CUT! I took photos of it and I'll upload it together with photos from my japan trip * squeal* So exciting!

I think my new haircut makes me look japanese.

CUZ, today (Monday) I went out with John and had to do a double-take when he saw me. I think he almost couldn't recognise me on the train. And while we were walking towards Suntec, this Indian guy was staring and when I walked passed him, he said 'arigato'. I was like ... Huh??!?

But, I guess I made a special effort to look different from my usual laid-back casuals. Feeling more adventurous of late. Hopefully, I won't commit any fashion faux that I'd live to regret. So imagine with your puny brains if you can, my ensemble: Purple hat tilted, black halter/sphag, Levis jeans, Purple shoes from Korea, Black chunky watch and silver bangles, a grey fiting 3/4 hooded jacket. Dirty green tied sling cloth bag. My hair now is a shoulder length asymmetric cut with a slanted blunt fringe. I was thinking of colouring my hair but there wasn't enough time then and also, I'd rather wait til my birthday to do something about it.

Really happy with my new look. And guess what, unlike Shunji Matsuo, it did not cost me a bomb (Wendy: Her cut one time enough for us to cut twenty times), $28 bucks only at Salon One in BIshan! My stylist was Jason Sim (Manager. Tel: 62583218). XYZ, you there?? I highly recommand him if you don't mind the distance. If need be, I'll personally drag you down myself!
Oh, and while i'm on the subject of hair and clothes, John, I still think that that grey shirt we saw in Topshop was cool, you should just leave your hair longer like that guy on the LOREAL dye cover and yes, I'll try to sneak back sushi and Kyoko Fukada for you~ Happy?...As for Kaneshiro....he's mine.

Yupyup...Anyway, this is my last update for now till I get back from Japan so seat tight!! TAKE OFF!~




Word of the day is 'Ooo' (pronunciation guide: Take deep breath, purse lips and let it out first in a down scale gruff voice. Then think of something happy and go oooOOooOOoo. Note the specific intonations of highs and lows. Now you've got it!)

Okie, that sums up my day succinctly. Go tend to your fields peasants.




........ *sweatdrops from bewildered masses. HEY Princess LAZYBONES, get your butt here and start writing if not...

Yeah? You'll what?

We'll expose your little secret. Haha, we know what you did today. *eerie music plays*

...Urm..no way... You wouldn't be so cruel...No wait...I'm innocent....Innocent I tell you!!

*Evil sniggers, JAWS music in background* We saw you!! Yes, we did....my preciousss..

Hey...wait a minute...this is getting too weird. Okay enough with all the corny references. So what...you can't threaten me over what I did today. In fact, I'll say it myself..hahhah! Take that!

*Deep breath* I...I ate a whole bar of chocolate. Happy now??

*Sounds of cheys ring throughout the imperial courtyard and shuffles of feet*

Hey...guys...where are you going...Hey...IT'S A MAJOR THING....HEY!!!




Fine, fine. I concede defeat. I'll explain my sudden interest in 'ooos'. So today, I woke up thinking that I be able to have this one day to myself potting around and getting stuff done. There's this HUMUNGOUS stack of papers, textbooks, lecture notes, files and....did i mention really thick textbooks...well you get the idea, hanging around my walk-in closet up taking up much valuable space for my clothes, bags, etc. Actually, it's just that my mum had been bugging me to get that tidied up. But, even if she had'nt, I'd still would do it so you can imagine how bad it is if even I, the messiest princess alive, can't stand it. Anyway, I digress.

So what happened was at 10 plus a.m, my mum barged into my room and said, " Eh, I forgot to remind you yesterday but you have the dental appointment today leh."
My sleep-deprived groggy was like, "Crap. Another day blown." My dental appointment was at NUH to extract 2 wisdom teeth under LA. Actually, I was supposed to get 4 done all at once under GA but after a while I chickened out course I did'nt fancy getting not knowing what was going on while I'm out. Plus, my mum said it was supposed to kill brain cells or something. 'Hogwash!' as my surgeon promptly proclaimed (okay so he did not say that exactly but you get my drift) but err on the side of caution as I always say. =)

Anyway, once I was settled down in the dentist chair, the nurse began wrapping me like some human Ba Zhang (Chinese dumplings). First was the normal blue paper bib, then came the quintessential sterile green cloth, and then they used another of those cloth to wrap my face, effectively only exposing my mouth. Good idea since I'd be staring at the dentist cuz I'm so damn curious about what he's gonna do! Did i mention that I have this strange fetish for going to the dentist? Weird but hee.

Ohoh...And did i mention that I actually like injections?? OKIE...But even so, before they proceeded to blind fold me, I was staring warily at the injection syringe which the manufacturers had so thoughtfully crafted it out of metal making it look like a silver beacon of PAIN! Injection on the skin is fine but in the mouth?? Hrmmm.....I had no idea what to expect.

Lucky for me, I was born with crappy pain receptors when it comes to needles and my threshhold of pain saved the day. I had like 8 injections on the top and the bottom gums and even 2 at the soft palate and it did not even bother me at all! So proud! I was gabbing away after the jab and even after my extractions. But that's cuz half my face (half of my lip, half of my tongue, the gum, cheeks right up to my ear) was numb! My bottom wisdom tooth required slicing off the gums to get to it as it was partially embebbed while the top just required a 'simple' extraction. So, i got to hear the drill bit which did not hurt at all. But the extraction was rather shocking as I never had one before. I have a new found respect for the arm strength of dentists. OMGWTF, how in the world did he just pull out my tooth like it was nothing?!?!

Anyway, my nice herculean dentist warned me to take the painkillers before my LA starts to wear off around 5p.m. So, I took them about 4.45pm and congratualated myself for being so clever. ARGH...stupid )@(#*%&(*$ painkillers...LOUSY PONSTAN!! It did not work until around 7p.m. By then, I had gone through the most agonizing headache of my life. Yes...headache...not toothache. I told you i'm weird. I think I should be someone's research subject. One of my friend kept suggesting that when she couldn't believe that I was still walking around not feeling jungry at all when i have not eaten a bite the whole day but that's another story.

So now, I'm still biting on a sterile guaze and praying that my painkillers will last least I be subjected to more headbanging misery to which no amounts of icepacks can remedy. That was the throaty..'ooooo...I'm in agony' and now for the upbeat 'ooOOoo' part of my day.

I"M GOING TO JAPAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT SUMS it all....No more need be said.








my first memorable kl trip with frens!!
LaCheL





The martians have landed. Ahh..this photo was taken in Genting during our Choral competition trip
LaCheL





I have no idea this was taken until xyz sent it to me. Good grief!!
LaCheL





My cousin and me in Korea. I'm the one in the cream Zara jacket...We are in the resort where Winter Sonata was filmed.
LaCheL




Okie, I have very mixed feelings about how this day went and whether I should be thankful to the old gal or not when she decided to screw the fact that it's a SUNday.

Why I should thank Momma nature:
1) If she didn't start raining at 8a.m, effectively cancelling my plans for a great morning in East Coast cycling, I would have been in deep shit with my own royal momma. We were supposed to leave the house at 8.30a.m but as I was up til 3 a.m working on my 1st blog post (what? I order you to go see it now if u haven't or suffer my wrath!!), naturally I erm...overslept til 10a.m. Even if it weren't raining, all my mum had to do was just wake me so that we could all go right? Sadly, after huffing up 2 flights of stairs to my humble abode, my mum would have been greeted by locked door to which no amount of pounding would wake the sleeping 'beauty' within (hey, I placed those inverted commas for a reason so backoff...=P) Then, that'll really mark a GREAT start to my day...

2) I did not have to sweat...princesses should glow =)

3) We had more time and energy to go chalet hunting for my 21st birthday bash! Okie guys, it's confirmed! After much perusal, your royal hinnyness has settled on a 3day/2night 2units duplex chalet at Costa Sands East Coast! It'll be on the 5th,6th and 7th of August so please please keep yourself free and await my invitation =) I think most of you who'll be reading this are invited especially if u are an ex-cssian and/or choir member. If not, it's not course I don't like you but I'm trying hard balance my time with different groups of frens and make sure that there is no akwardness...besides, I think mum and daddy dearest are bent set on calling almost the whole gang of relatives...not that I mind. Afterall, more hongbaos for me right?? KIDDINGZ

4) I found out that Murphy's law was so true. Ever had things were supposed to stay spoiled at least til you get to the repair shop but somehow miraculously recovered just in time for you to make a fool of yourself once u stepped into the shop? Ahhhhh....I think my phone is out to get me. Either that or someone up there loves pratical jokes.

5) I finally got me a mouse! For my laptop though. It's really cool, small and wireless...shiny silver and red! Plus, it was cheap. While i was on a roll, I also got some cables to connect my laptop to my rockin' 42inch plasma tv plus DVD-Rs galore for my DVD recorder cum player!! Don't you just hate me now?

6) While in Harvey Norman, I got educated too. I figured out why my Inuyasha dvds couldn't play on any of my dvd players. Apparently, Panasonic is a real ass that makes players which can only play DVD-R (and even this MUST be panasonic) and DVD-ram but not DVD-rw. The salesguy aptly termed Panosonic 'selfish'. haha. So, like what's the difference between DVD-R and DVD+R? It seems that it's just a format that certain brands support. So, DVD-R is for Panasonic, Sony and dun-noe-what while DVD+R is used for Pioneer and the like. Oh, and while PC can general accept DVD-R, DVD+R and DVD-rw, it draws the line at DVD-ram. And to think that I thought + was just better than -. Sigh, just shoot me now.

Why I should just drag Momma nature to the firing squad:
1) Day2 of my Master plan is ruined!! Argh...no words can express my sorrow. sniff

2) Try hunting around looking for chalets in the rain and see how happy you'd be.

3) My sandals were soaked!! EEeyUcKs...If there's anything that gets on my nerve is walking around in SLOSHY, GRIMY sandals and not being able to do a thing about it.

4) I did not get to go downtown to shop because we had a late start.

5) I can't get my open my #$%@ mouse to get the #%#@@ batteries in for it to work. Yes, I blame her coz if not there would be no mouse to begin with.

6) This is the worst sin of all. I should probably get her thrown in the shutters without bail, hah! Granted that missing cycling gave my poor stiff limbs a chance to recuperate, BUT (note the important qualifyer...there is always a 'but') I got caught in NTUC's devious scheme to promote Marine Cove. You see, Coasta Sands had this birthday 3D/2N promotion for all those born in August and I thought I struck gold till I saw the fine print that it was only from Mon-Thurs. So we opted for another more favorable promotion package for weekends only. Problem is, we had to come up with $20 receipt from Marine Cove for every night per room to be eligible for the package. Meaning, with 2 rooms and 2 nights, we had to spend at least $80. So, for the sake of convenience, we decided to just settle it on the spot with a heavy dim sum lunch at Tung Luk (correct spelling? hmm...). Crap.

I rest my case.




Welcome peasants to my not-so-lavish blog!

This is my hoity-toity alter-ego speaking right now...princess yilin!! **koffkoff** Least you choke to death on your spitum, please be reminded that a certain few of you out there had been dumping this label on me for goodness how long...not that it's a bad thing ne?? After looking at this first feeble attempt in this site i'd bet those guys are kicking themselves right now...hard.

Oh well =P I shouldn't fight fate ritez.....

And back to me again...Gods it's getting late but I just gotta do this...hee so excited! *I hear laughter...yilin...where have you been...ppl have been blogging for eons...tsktsk... Hey! I have a perfectly good reason!! First and foremost, I, um, forgot my old blogsite.

BUAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

*yilin blushblush.

You know, I wasn't called Ms Sotong and president of the Sotong club for nothing you know...it was..er..well earn! Anyway...YOU! WHAT ARE YOU SNIGGERING ABOUT!~

*Guards dragged the poor insufferable soul out along with the garbage...

Anyway as I was about to say before I was interrupted, my day can be generalized as an exercise-eating fiesta. Now, the exercise bit was the 'good' highlight of my day as I am on DAY 1 of my new exercise MASTER PLAN! I will lose at least 5 kg before my 21st or so help me! You know, people talk about midlife crisis and stuff...well, I'm currently edging towards a quarter-life one. My teenage years are coming to a close...or maybe they already are and right now I'm just basically basking in self-denial and dread. But this is weightloss obsession is more than plain fashion and brainwashing (okayokay...fashion is a major part)...it is the sybolism it takes on in my pathetic life so far. The 21st is like some sort of benchmark towards the rest of my life. I can vote!! *Gasp...what makes them think that they'd want me to...

Not just that, suddenly, I'm a legal adult-mature enough to watch RA films, responsible enough to imbibe liver destroying substances and decide the fate of Singapore's government. Yes, I know the power of one vote. Wake me when it's really 50-50...haha yah rite...PAP and whowho??

And yet, for most of my super-duper ultra unglam and boring teen life, I've been procrastinating like most of us who think that we'll always be young. There are so many things that I have sacrificed for the grade-chase...something that I utterly despise but can't run away from. And I'd usually console myself...next time, when I'm freer I'd do/learn it...

But, I learnt that I'll never be freer. That was as good as it gets. Now with more responsibilities and and marked with worldy concerns regarding jobs and employment prospects looming just around the corner, I feel as jumpy as Calvin who knows that Hobbes is gonna pounce on him anytime soon.

Ah but I am paranoid and overly dramatic...I think I'd better sign off soon least I can't get up for Day 2 of my grueling regime...cycling at 8am!!

So Ciao and sweet dreams for mine are salty with sweat.
*yilin drags her mangled bod away from the comp....argh!
