Sick and tired... in every single aspect...

i'm sick... down with a persistent cough... tired... after drinking the stupid cough syrup that made me feel like a zombie for the whole day...

i'm sick and tired of all the stress that i'm facing now... need to type report... have to finish it real soon... lotsa things to do... haven even finish my literature review... haven do results analysis... lotsa things to do yet so little done... arghz... stressed as most my friends are actually looking for jobs and already going for interviews le... arghz... me still haven apply for any jobs lor... haiz...

**************************************

been out for the past few days... had fun? i wonder... feeling tired easily... tired both physically and mentally... haiz... getting old...

starting to wonder what can brighten up my day...
shopping... no no... as it drains my energy and my vitamin M...
lele... even a bigger no no... drains too much of my energy and make me frustrated easily...
mudpie... neutral... will be glad if i can talk to him more often... happier if i manage to get more attention... haha... but he's enjoying himself in hk while i'm rushing to meet deadlines... haiz...
out with friends... maybe... but tend to be physically and financially straining at times... depends on which group of friends too...
out with family... maybe... but seldom have the time to go out together with the conflicting schedules...
i desperately need a break right now... but a break will mean delay in finishing my report... haiz...
think nothing can make me 100% happy lately... life's in a shade of dark grey right now... depression creeping to me... what are the signs and symptoms of depression?


i'm lonely but not bored... 孤单但不寂寞...

Shopping's tiring... jogging's not...

think been quite some time since i've last blogged... anyway... been sick for the past few days... finally getting better le...

think one of the most significant thing lately was the shopping incident with juvy and huifang on the 15th... think both of them can shop for a very long time... i'm easily tired... after the 1st mango outlet... ive effectively K.O. le... to think that i even shop for more than 3 hours... think that has broken the record for the past few years... haha...

bought 3 pairs of jeans from the sale... think i love to wear jeans... haha... that's the uniform of engrg gers bah... haha... i need school shoes for the new semester too... haha... that will be on my buying list... juvy and huifang didn't buy much from the sale... juvy's friend even commented that a mango sale is something like a gathering for gers... think pretty true... at least the last time i shopped with huifang was the last mango sale during the GSS period...

watched perhaps love after shopping... think not very very nice... think Takeshi Kaneshiro cannot sing... Zhou Xun has a good voice but vocals not wide enough to sing musicals... and of cos... Jacky Cheung has the BEST voice in the whole show... kinda regretted not going Snow.Wolf.Lake... but me too poor lah... tix are just too ex...

too much shopping makes me sick... haha... sick after that eventful day... made me skipped the class BBQ too... sad...

monday... happen to step into Mango again... kinda regretted going on the 1st day of the sale... so packed... anyway... the Monday store was pretty okay... crowd's like the usual days... and managed to find clothes and pants in the correct sizes... that goes to the clothes juvy wants too... haha... anyway... too broke to buy anything le... nite time went sakae buffet at funan... think i ate more side dishes than sushi... haha...

tuesday... busy with report again... been analyzing results and realise some results got prob... going school on wednesday to check things out... anyway... brought lele to lot 1 to buy books... saw thomas (or guan peng) and alex... only alex recognise me wor... haha... think i've changed a lot bah... haha...
got the invite to go MoS too... shld i go?

today... very funny... been waking up every 15 min to check the time since 8... cos results out at 11... wanted to sleep all the way til 11 so won't feel too anxious mah... in the end 忍无可忍 then wake up at 10 to go market with lele... come home just nice 11... check results... haiz.................
results not very good... but better than what i have expected... all my fault for being stupid bah... but anyway... dun ever think i can reach second upper... haiz... nvm bah...

went jogging... jogged for a good 5.6km... not tired leh... think jogging's not as tired as shopping... prefer to go jogging than to go shopping... at least dunnid spend $$$ and can get fit... haha...
anyway... i shall be busy doing my fyp til year end bah...

Advice

good advices always fall on deaf ears... especially on me... think i always believe in myself more than i listen to others... which is a very bad thing to do... really bad and i really hope i can change that... been thinking thru about things lately... realised that i seldom listen to what others say... haiz...

think many many years back when i was just a little ger...
every cny my mom will buy a small bag/clutch for me so that i can put angpows in during visits to relatives... usually my mom will choose for me... but there was this year that she let me choose the bag that i want, even though she had a preference for one already... as she was suggesting to me which one to buy... i chose another one with a feathery exterior which looked more fanciful (recall that i was still a very young ger... around 5 or 6 yrs old bah) and is more expensive... of cos mom tried to persuade me to buy a simpler one... but i'm very stubborn and mom had no choice but to buy the one that i liked...
think during the cny that bag was actually dirtied and the feathers fell off one by one... mom did not say much but i felt very sad... i knew if i had just listened to mom and bought the simple design one... maybe things might not be the same...

think mom knows best... and so now i usually listen to mom's suggestion as far as possible... i dun wanna regret things and feel sad anymore...

which actually made me feel that i love my parents so much and i actually depend (emotionally) alot on them... u might ask why the sudden outburst... cos i just heard from a friend that her dad was hospitalised... wonder how i would feel if my parent was hospitalised...
think everyone should cherish your parents as far as possible... they care for you selflessly and they never ask for anything in return... imagine how naughty we were when we were much younger... how rebellious... how hurtful it was to them when we chooses our friends over them... yet no matter how bad we are... we are still the apple of their eye... they still love us... yet when things happen to them (eg. old age, sickness...) we usually push to our siblings or grumble when they seem to add on to our troubles... refusing to love them the way they used to love us...

reflect on your actions my friends... love your parents more... before its too late...

*P.S : think i'm a bit emotional today... too many things happen recently...

It's my life...

weekend = work + nua + no mudpie
think have been living that life for the past few weeks... or maybe for the past 5 mths mostly... haha... think there's nothing interesting in my life on weekends... so unlike the rest of the people out there who usually have a life on weekends... my life ends on friday... it will only start on mondays when people go back to work...

today is the beginning of yet another life of me... that's when i realised the need to be more happening... need something to spice up my life... maybe shall go JB this midweek to shop shop... hahaha....

suddenly realised that the stuff in NTUC is much cheaper than those in Shop 'n' Save... okie... everyone knows things in Cold Storage is the most ex so no comparison lah... like beer and stuff... think much cheaper in NTUC... even choc are cheaper in NTUC... not advertising for them but really true leh... let's forget Giant or Carrefour... they are located at such a wonderful place in Singapore that even taking a train or bus there will cost much more than my savings from groceries... (me big auntie so a few cents or dollars make a big difference for me...)

think this is my last holiday le... must start enjoying life... or else like what my big bro say... working life can never allow one to stay asleep til 9... cannot go shop as and when i need... think must cherish what i have for the next 20 days... when school starts har? start on 3rd jan har?
think must go check it out le...

Little India... Aiwo... Sentosa...

wah... realised time flies when i'm at home... no progress with my report yet time flies real fast... hahaha...

anyway... almost the whole of monday was spent outside... main thing was that my ixus II got free repair cos of a fault by Canon themselves... haha... got a loan ixus 55 for me to play in the meantime too... so go shoot ard lor... took pix of lele and EnEn...

a very cute EnEn blocked by a very attention seeking lele...

went little india... think i am starting to love little india... haha... think i very indie lately... went for threading... dunno why this time thread til very pain... maybe the hairs are more stubborn and reluctant to come out... haha... was walking to mustafa and saw this so must take this pix...

i like the name of this lane... baboo lane... hahaha...

after which i went mustafa shopping... think the old mustafa has got much more stuff than the new one... even though the old one is more cramp... haha... think some stuff there is quite cheap... electronics is definitely cheaper...

rushed to raffles city to meet my uni friends for dinner at Aiwo... food for life... think the food there is very very healthy... no saturated fats... no carbo... just healthy fare...

entrance to the restaurant...


the interior of the restaurant... actually it's conveyor belt type of restaurant but the furnishing is very beautiful... very modern type of feeling...

the cutlery are actually hidden under the table in the drawer...

the side dish with the food from the conveyor belt... think the prawn in the lower left is the best...

okie... there are 14 dishes... all healthy fare and subject to changes everyday... one dish is around 50 calories... some actually less... so if u wanna watch your weight... maybe can try going there... haha...

*********************************************************

went to sentosa on tuesday... a sunny day... so unlike the previous day... think its been real long since i last been to sentosa... long time never go explore and long time never go to the beaches le... think the last time i went... there's still monorail... now no more le... haha...

tuesday outing to sentosa only includes exploration of the Tanjong beach... wanted to go lotsa places but a very nice tax says NO to everything... think next time no go with him... even juvy is MUCH better... at least she wanna go explore too...

anyway... realised Tanjong beach has got no direct bus... so have to alight at Palawan beach and walk to tanjong beach cos juvy suggested going over to Km8...

announing the arrival to Palawan beach...

Palawan beach...

walking towards Tanjong beach

worm struggling up to the tree where it fell from...

the whole beach is actually quite empty since it's a tuesday... quite fun on the whole... though i didn't really get a tan as i didn't prepare to go there and tan... haha... never bring sun tanning oil or even wore bikini... haha...

a pretty empty Tanjong beach... observe that there's actually not much cloud cover?

tax and vinc playing ball...

Sentosa spa resort with Km8 in the foreground...

the 3 of them sitting by the beach...

entrance to Km8... actually no photography is allowed... oops...


sunset over at Tanjong beach...

the drinks at Km8 are not ex... quite reasonable... a great place especially since it serves ice cold drinks on a hot sunny day... haha... so relaxing...

went harbourfront for dinner then go vinc's place for mahjong... long time never play mahjong together with them le... on the way to the bus interchange... saw the tallest man-made xmas tree at mount faber... managed to take a shot... and even took a nice sunset photo with the nice nice building too...

pretty lousy shot though...

harbourfront tower 2

*********************************************

think the weather quite farnie today... can rain suddenly for a few minutes then stop then start raining 15 minutes later... now rain non-stop... with strong winds too... haiz... weird weather... must be the monsoon... think this monsoon must be creating a perfect storm on the Rawa island now bah...

today... or shld i say yesterday... rot at home... read ONE journal the whole afternoon... think my literature review gone case le... haiz... received email that Shell is hiring graduates... haha... even though i might not fit the bill completely but I'll try... heard from Jasmine that Shell gives lotsa bonuses... shall write my resume til nice nice... hahaha...

went queensway buy running shoes... no shoes means no jog... which eventually means getting fatter... not that jogging is the only exercise i do... but i only do swimming and jogging for cardio... and swimsuit too loose le... goggles fog easily le... haiz... and me lazy to go try swimsuit so only buy running shoes lor... bought an adidas climacool... been eyeing it for a very long time le... think monday can go jog le... so happy...

just realised that the camera that i used that fateful day to take foto of that salmon fillet smells fishy now... sianz... think i will skip salmon fillet for the rest of the year... scared of the smell...

Reign of the sucky papers...

exams' finally over... 4 papers in all... 2 sucky papers and 2 okay papers... hopefully my grades will be okay... actually the sucky papers ain't the lecturers' fault... all mine for being so stupid and simply refusing to study the examples and go memorise the rhapsodies... haiz...

nvm... when it's over.... that's the time i start all over again... haha... time to enjoy this week and start on my fyp next week... haha... but weekends need to work... yeah yeah... i'm working as a beer promoter... those that are decently dressed type... how indecent can i be? looks also super duper decent type one lor... so anyone who needs beer (except carlsberg) can buy from me... haha... location not fixed though...

went for a fishy dinner last nite at Hot Stones Steak and Seafood Restaurant at Clarke Quay with mudpie... something like to celebrate the end of my exams bah... haha... anyway... me had salmon fillet while mudpie had chicken and prawn... think the steak there shld be quite good bah... but me no eat beef so no choice...

my salmon fillet being served on the hot stone... together with the dips and sides...
imagine all the oil splashing onto my face and specs... was called a fishy fishy ber by mudpie the whole night becos of the salmon smell... sianz...

mudpie's chicken and prawn... pix is abit blur...

hmmm... imagine doing your own cooking... the meat is simply placed on that stone and u have to turn it almost immediately... haha... but think the meat won't get burnt... dunno why also... haha... think the best food is the sauteed mushrooms in the top right corner of the above pix... and also the prawn... with which i took a very unflattering shot with...

unflattering as my left eye is swollen yesterday (and still is today)... and my look is simply so skeptical... haha... but the prawn is nice... think the seafood combo shld be nice since they have scallop too... anyway both of us were commenting that the chef must be very eng... cos the only prepared items on the table were the potato salad and the sauteed mushrooms... and think he/she just need to cut meat and place on the stone... hahaha... anyway... the place is super empty... max of 2 couples (as customers) at any one single time... the servers actually outnumbered the customers... hahaha...

********************************************

spent the whole afternoon packing my table... think that's the thing to do after exams bah... lazy me only intend to start my fyp next week... wanted to go school to look for supervisor next week but heard he won't be in from next week onwards... and oso the machine that i need to use is still not working... haha... means i can stay at home and face computer for the next few weeks...

also... changed the look of the blog... think was bored with the previous layout... though this one not actually very very nice but it's simple and dark... hahaha... left out alot of stuff from this new layout to make it more compact...

well well... time to plan for mahjong sessions and oso some outings bah... jio me out k...
