my weekend was a B-L-A-S-T ((:

I'm officially 19. Hurrah Hurrah!

Birthday Celebration with Hun was ... beyond description, man.
It was fab, fun, fantastic, spontaneous, extraordinary ... I just can't put it into words. If I could, then it will be an endless list full of celebratory & appreciation for dearest Hun for making my Birthday such a gratifying one! Thank you thank you thank YOU. You really know how to make me smile (:

I guessed everything was spontaneous. What we or i EXPECTED just didn't turn out to be as planned. Wanted to dine at The Village @ Heeren but to our dismay, it ceased operation (like Whaaat? How could you do THIS to the B'day girl!!?) So Hun decided that we go & get gift for me instead, so he told me "let's head to Wheelock, Borders." So meaning my gift will be from Borders right? I assumed it will be from Borders but N-O-O-O. We headed to Apple Centre and it's like in a flash, a piece of solid iPod nano landed into my hands. "Happy Birthday, Sayang!" Plus i can't overlook the fact that he was grinning so wide that I can see his full set of teeth!


Seriously, for the 1st time in my life, I was left speechless and I told him "This is yours, right?"
He pinched me. *Ouch* Fine. I'm awake & i'm not in la-la land. GOOD GOD. I love YOU!

So, after i threw in a big basket full of hugs,kisses & thank yous to Hun, we headed for Lunch. Off we go to The Marche @ VivoCity (:

I still haven't had enough of Marche!!

I love everything about yesterday & not to mention Zakiah was such a darling, & bought me a nice dress (Wuhoo!!!) and gave me a nice Friendship band (or something of that sort) with my name on it. Oh oh, and she put them inside a box which she taped with endless strips of coloured Tapes. Very very neatly done & it definitely Wow-ed me. You go girl! *hugs*

Don't ask what my FAMILY did to "celebrate" my B'day.
They conveniently said "Wait for your Brother's b'day & can celebrate with him" I dunno if i will have my present, but i know my brother will definitely be getting his. Lopsided, ever heard of it? So i have to wait till next week for somekind of Celebration. Thanks. So called Post-party yea.

Well, for Yiqi's & Nit's info, i didn't have pre or post "party" on Saturday. (: Jees, you guys must be totally disappointed,right? Heh.

i'm 19 & i'm tired

simply hidden.

I bet you've seen this picture/logo somewhere. I'll slit my throat if you say you haven't.




Yes, just a typical, ordinary FedEx logo. But, have you ever thought that this picture might contain a subliminal message?

C'mon, try harder. Look closer. You don't have to squint your eyes though. It's right smack in front of you!!


Give up?





It's a freakin' arrow! And seriously, you never thought of it before, did you?
This logo was created in 1994, and the designer said that he would want the arrow to represent some kind of progress and and forward-thinking to represent the Federal Express. Simply Beautiful.

i expect the unexpected.

give me a reason to smile.

Probably will be getting my pay tomorrow.
But somehow i'm feeling pretty uneasy. Don't know really what's the matter though.
I can't stop sighing. It's not good to sigh, my folks would say. But i'm not feeling at ease.

Trying to seek solace. But today i just can't seem to find what is really wrong.
Maybe it's the O'levels jitters. Which reminds me to A Levels results.
O levels results-taking was bad enough. A levels?! I just can't explain to you how i'm feeling right now.

On the way to tuition, i thought about A levels. Back from tuition, i still think about A levels. Eat, also think about my results. And here i am blogging, about the A's. Is this a good sign?

I feed a cat today. Some stray cat. The cat is so adorable. It has a black spot right smack on its nose.


The cat gobbled up the food, and with pitiful eyes, it look back at me, like it's saying Thank You to me. You're most welcome Cat. I just hope that by helping it, it would pray for me & my A's results.

I don't know how am i gonna face the truth when the day arrives.
*crossmyfingers*

i know i did my best.

Call me Weight Loss Goddess ya'll.

Up to date, I almost completed 40 articles on weight loss for work, and seriously, i think i'm the weight loss Goddess now!!

Hun : So yang, when do i get to see your work? (aka articles)

Me : *mumbles* Hmm good question. I have no friggin` idea!

Well, that left me astounded. Aiya, where my articles go. I'll make a mental note to ask Boss when I meet him for meeting this Friday. *gulps*

Due to copyright laws, (and fear of getting into trouble for copywriting my own work) I am unable to show you guys my work, here. My identity is left under covers.

Seriously, just by writing weight loss articles, i can feel my weight shedding off too! Haha. It's great isn't it. I was getting ready for work today, I looked down at my pants and was pleasantly surprised to see that the gap was so big when I pulled my pants to the front. Can fit one fist! Or maybe the pants expended? Gahgah.



2 days and still counting!
Relax, it's just a birthday. Spending The Day with you would be more than a perfect gift (:



I'm on my road to Weight Loss!

*lunch@mac.5pm.beforeTuition.alone*

if our love were a storybook, we would meet on the very first page.

-you leave me breathless-

5 solid days. Omfg

I want to do something to my hair.
But the problem is, i like it the way is it! Long,straight & (shiny) black!

Heh.
Dad said that i look pretty with long hair. ((:
I guess i will be keeping this hairstyle for a while. hurhur~ Sorry Hun, looks like you won't get your wish granted. heh.

Hun said : So tomorrow, the countdown begins.

Heh. Ya. I feel old already. Tomorrow is the 21st of jan! omg. 5 more days! I'm turning 19! Ha, and yiqi and nitika and everyone else i know is stuck at 18? Ha. Omg.

And i didn't know that when someone turns 21, (on the 21st birthday) you should give them key-shaped gifts! It is cool or what? Maybe it's to signify the welcoming of a new life, something like stepping into adulthood. Maybe?

Ha, how bout giving me a real key to a nice ride on my 21st? *beams*

for some reason, i don't want my pay day to arrive too soon.
hmmm...

Hun hun hun <3

101 question marks

After dinner, my family and i went to the supermarket to shop for some Mandarin oranges (unfortunately the supermarket we went to did not sell them!)

So we bought mini oranges. Adorable ones.

Anyways, i saw this very weird poster/picture scotch-taped on one of the walls in the supermarket. I looked at it, and it gave me 101 question marks as to what the hell the poster/picture is about.

Take a look :


Below the poster, the word "WANTED!!!" was written big and clear with permanent marker.
The poster/picture shows a man, wearing something that looks like a security guard uniform and shooting the hose(w/o the water sprouting) into the air. In the background is a SCDF fire truck.

So tell me what is the picture and the caption "wanted" all about!?!?

It's a joke,right?

hun hun hun! <3

i'm so hot like i came straight out from the kitchen

TGIF! *clapclapsnapsnap*
It's freakin` Friday. I feel like partying although my eyes are drooping and i'm hitting the bed soon (it's only 10.11pm for God's Sake!!)

Yiqi is polluting me endlessly with all her sexual talk.What's a friend to do?? I have no idea why is she doing this to me. I'm so innocent. She said I am "easy to bully". Ya ya~ Heh.

1 week, and still counting!! I want to get a birthday outfit, but i guess i should SAVE the money instead hurhur. Save the bugs. I"ll need plenty of them soon.

I complaint to Zulky endlessly about the very irritating MRT announcements.
For those who are taking the North-East Line, you guys are probably suffering from the same virus as me. The Irritating-Announcements-Virus.

What happens is like, when stopping at every single bloody station, they will first announce the Station in English, and unexpectedly, NOW THEY ARE DOING IT IN CHINESE LANGUAGE TOO. I have no idea why they are doing this. I mean, they actually announce Clark Quay in Chinese! Dhoby Ghout too? I seriously cannot believe this. I mean if you live in Singapura, you got to KNOW how to SPEAK eng-lish. Why need the Chinese version. My deary Zulky said : Ah, that is for the China people. And I was like thinking, what? What about the Bangladeshis then? Or the Indons?

It's reee-deeee-kulus. They changed Koven to something that sounds like Ko-wen. You ask the lau ah pek where he wanna go, and i can bet you he will say KoVEN and and not KoWEN.

I'm writing to the SBS transit and i'm gonna clarify with them why is there a need for announcement in chinese language. If they say its for the china people, i'm so gonna tell them to include indon language and tamil language. Tsk tsk. Plus it's irritating. It's like if you take the train every bloody day, obviously you will know where to alight right???

I'll update you guys with my efforts on stopping those announcements ya. Wish me luck.

By the way, don't get me wrong, I'm not against the Chinese language thing. It's just that i believe it's unnecessary and SBS-NEL is giving far too much face to the China people.

It's friday. (:

9 suh-weet days

The last time the doctor checked my temperature, it was 38 degrees! Like wwhhaaaatt?
The doctor looked at me and said, you have a fever.
It's been so long since i had a fever.
Well, i didn't know i was that Hot. Harhar.

The cough is driving me nuts. My hands are shivering as i'm typing this post. *coughcough*

Work is fuhhhiineee. It's awesome and i'm loving every minute of it.

I'm suppose to be busy preparing for my tuition tomorrow, but decided to spare a little bit of time on my blog before i proceed.

So basically, i'm sick, busy but happily working, and giving tuition.
Thank god it's only 1.5 hours per session.
I'm whacked by the time i reach the weekends.

Countdowm timer : 9 days to 19. And the feeling is AWESOME!
It's great to have your birthday in January. I'm gonna give myself a birthday treat some time after i get my pay. (: heeh. And yeah, yiqi, don't worry, we'll meet up after CNY,after im loaded. WE plus Nits can shop together or somesort. Plan later lar.

I'm running out of gift ideas for Valentine's Day. How how?
I'd better think of something fast.
Or Zulky, maybe you can give me a hand at this?

Let's get Couple something. couple shirt,couple bag?couple shoes? couple slippers?couple undies? couple handphone?(too costly though)couple watch?couple whaat?

I prefer surprises, but seriously, my brain is e-m-p-t-y. can't think of anything.

S.O.S !! 911!! 999?!

Help,please?

sushi galore~

I'm having dry coughs & everytime i cough, its like trying to cough the life out of me. I think the cough syrup expired. heh.

Saturday was ok.
First time of my entire 18 years (soon 19 *hinthint*) i stepped into a sushi-serving restaurant.
And oh-my-godness. It's beyond heaven. Considering the fact that i love sushi. It was so nice of Zulky to give me a treat. I guess it's a pre-birthday gift. Haha! It was G,o,o,d.




Zulky took the wasabe and played with it. That was what i thought he was doing, initially. Few minutes later, he showed me the wasabe container. I peered inside, and what i saw was something like a flower. He carved the wasabe into a flower! Haha. Shouldda takken a picture of it (:

I guess Zulky really want me to change. He keeps on telling me to "grow up" especially when i go gagging over Happy House stuffs & other cutesy things. I mean. I'm only 18-soon-to-be-19, so, there's no harm in admiring these things right?

Jeesh,it's sure hard to please him. But, I guess he really wants me to grow up.Or mature. The thing is that he mixes with old folks. Okla, not that his friends are that old, but they are definitely years older than me. He's comfortable with that kind of company, so i guess he wants me to "grow up" and be like his friends, so that i won't be so left out when i meet them.

But then again, i'm only 18-soon-to-be-19, and i don't want to act/dress as if i'm 25.

He said i'll never change, and i can see the disappointment in his eyes when he said that to me.

I keep on disappointing him, but i don't want to change for the sake of pleasing others. I don't want to force a Change. I want to change naturally. I want to change when i think i'm ready for it.

I'm happy with life now.


"there's a lady who is sure, all that glitters is Gold, and she's buying the stairway to heaven..."



i'll change,one day.
but the Hotness stays.On. (:

3rd day

Yes, finally i get to settle down & get comfy in front of my own computer.

Ok, updates:

My job is F-U-N.
All i have to do is to sit in front of the computer, check emails,do alerts, do Blog Commenting, and write/type.
I google search for articles, copy & paste them, to form a nice 400-500 words essay. (i have to paraphrase too)
Good practice for GP! haha. The topics i have to do now is about Weight Loss, so in the midst of preparing the "essays" i actually learnt alot too. Good job.Good pay. waha

Let me tell you the scenario of the office:

Basically, my boss, just graduated from SMU.
So practically, currently he only has 2 people working under him . That's me & this college mate of his, Grace. (she's from SMU too)
3 of us, (the boss,grace and me) share a small office with 2 other Companies. SO meaning, in 1 office there are 3 companies, all doing different stuff.
Grace works only on Mon,Wed & Fri because the rest of the days she has to go to school.
So, on the days that she never come, i'm considered the only girl in the office.

Everyday i climb 4 flight of stairs and maybe that's the reason why my legs are sore.
Anyways, for the past 3 days, i was the 1st person the reach outside of the office! & i have to wait for this guy from the other company to open the door. Sometime's he's late, so i just stare at the white walls and pray that ghosts won't appear to scare the shitoutofme.

I work only from 9am-4pm, because i have to tutoring to do at 6pm on Tuesdays and 6.30pm on Thursdays.

TGIF!!!!!!!!

ps: i love you,still.

i'm falling sick[notagoodsign]

This girl is hired, again!

Yes. The blisters are worth it.
It's confirmed(plus chop!) that i'm hired! Wohoos!

He passed me a document, and i skimmed through it.
Only then i realised, eh, my name is on the document.
Does this mean that.....i'm confirmed?

I guess my brother will be getting his mp3 for his birthday after all (:



This girl is working tomorrow! (and thereafter...)

wish me luck!

My friend, out of the blue, said hi to me online, & told me that
My ex-schoolmate passed away recently, after an accident.
He was on his way delivering his first pizza.


Shocked.


Ouch,my heart really goes out to the family. God! I know him.
It's just... i'm just speechless.

may god bless you,now & ever after.

forever YOUNG.

While i was busy rummaging through P4 textbooks and papers in preparation for my 1st lesson, my younger brother busied himself too by checking up on me whether i have the materials that i needed.

"eh kak(sis) you can use this one for your tuition.."

So nice of him.

He looked satisfied after he saw the piles of p4 papers that i found.(all his p4 works)
He turned to leave my room, and said :

"Kak, when teaching, remember to give that kid a break. 5 minutes will do.If not that kid might get bored."

Waaaaaaaaah~

I didn't even think of that. Seriously!!!
Thanks thanks thanks.

I'm shocked at the kind of advice he gives me, and also not to mention him being so thoughtful and supportive of me. Totally touched.

Earlier today i told him, "eh, if i get this Admin Job that i'm interviewing for,i'll buy for you an MP3 ok?"

And he said "Thank You" with his million-dollar smile.
And i was thinking Huh? Thank ME? I havent even get the mp3 for you!

I hope he prays for me. I REALLY WANT THAT JOB.

Hopefully Tuesday's interview will go A-Ok! please please please

everyone thinks he is my ELDER brother & my aunt thinks i'm 17. Wopee(:

19 in 20 (;

One moment i was crying blood, the next moment i'm grinning away like a happy monkey.
This girl is hired! And not to mention I have an interview on Monday(which i don't plan to go) & another 1 on Tuesday (which i plan to Nail It down, big time Baybeh!) and a tuition assignment!

I'm teaching Malay tuition to a primary 4 tutee (don't know gender/race,yet).
I bet you're like smirking. Gah.gah. Malay?? Ala..Chicken feet,duck feet crow feet bla bla.. My baby brother can teach you malay.

Yada yada. It's not that easy. Well nothing comes easily. I need to research on their current Primary syllabus..& unfortunately, there's barely any Malay assessment books in the market *gasps!* , so, Oh Almighty God Please Help Me. But something tells me i'll do just perfectly fine. The syllabus by MOE is somehow, erm, 67 pages long, and i am determined to finish reading (or glancing through) that pile of sheets. [no pun intended] I hope my yesteryears Malay guide books will help me sail through the sessions. *crossingfingers&toes* God Bless Muahh!

Zulky bought a Red Crumpler (the outrageously expensive) bag! Everybody Gag!!
It looks deliciously nice & fits him all well. I'm not a fan of Crumpler (because their prices makes my face Crumple literally at the thought of getting 1!) but sure sure, one day i'll get a nice spicay,red ,hot-looking bag/handbag/totebag to match your Crumps Zulky! So-called-Couple-Bag.



My evening was awesome.
I loved every teeny weeny bit of it.

19 in 20 days

current status : omfg. headache is killing me

It's preposterous for you to read someone's mind or the other way round.
So,
should I listen, and do something that I don't want to? Or persevere on in the search of getting things to go my way.
This or that? It's a difficult choice, when you have your "side-kick" to tell you otherwise.


Watched Devil Wears Prada. Surfed i-net. Watched Tv. Dozed.
Practically, that's my daily schedule.
I bet you're turning Green. Jealous Jealous! GahGah! You ought to!

A track from the movie, the Devil Wears Prada :

"Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights..."



2 simple sentences.



But yet, with those I get to imagine far and wide, leaps & bounds

beyond my own little world.

That's just me.Some may say it's ambitious,but to some,

it's just being plain Dreamy.

interview on Monday.

girl in the blue pinafore & the boy from Charlton.

An improvement from yesterday. *grinslikeadork*
My day just got slightly happier.
Improved meagerly only,but still atleast it's something! HurHurHur.

I'm listening to bubblegum pop Songs, right now. And,boy, they do give me an air of awesome youthness.
BackStreetBoys, Mandy Moore, Destiny's Child etc.
These are the kind of songs I listen when i was in primary school please!
I still have a secret stash of boyband's pics, ehem, filed in a 30 page clear folder. FILED mind you. All these pictures/pin ups/posters took years of pains for me to collect them ok.
My friend actually bought limited edition teen magazines! I remembered fondly they cost $10 & above! Friggin` expensive! & I thought LIME magazine was ex! Unbelievable to infinty!!

23 days and *nugdenudge* still counting.

Nothing special* about turning one year older, but i just wish that primary school days lasts a liiitle tiny weeny bit longer because i simply miss all my friends and i SWEAR, those were the only days of my entire freakin' life when I HAD A GIGANTIC GROUPIE OF MALAY FRIENDS. Really really. We (every single soul) actually waited for each other after supplementaries/remedials & go MAC together and go school together.. Haha. I love you guys..and girls ((: . I remember each and every single one of your names,still ;) Should have a get-together one day :)




Wait, did i said something about "Nothing special" previously?
Kidding only lar eh. I take that back.


Hehe.




& they said boys from Charlton are naughty ehem, ok ok rebellious. Hmmph.. (;

my baby steps,now size 5.

i'll hire myself if i could.

I wonder why they made English as first language. It's so redundant, because now, all they ever ask you is whether your tongue is proficient in Chinese (or stylishly known as Mandarin) or not.

I wonder how tough it'll be like 4-5 years down the road, when i'm really looking for a permanent job. It's already bad enough for me right now.

Today, I was this " " close to getting a job by the way.
The last question the lady asked was my name, i answered truthfully, and damn, the excitement of getting a job evaporated in a jiffy.

"Sorry, we need someone who speaks Chinese."

But she was really nice,so, i guess i'll just let it pass.

I don't know where did i go wrong all these while.
Maybe it's just the mother-tongue thingy that barricades all my chances of getting a job.

I'll make sure my children speaks French. Just in case.


It's only the second day of 2008 and here I am feeling all choked up with sadness,frustration,angst...

It's a really bad omen.
But I can't help it,because i didn't want these things to happen.
How do you expect someone to remain smiley if you break promises?
How do you expect someone to be happy after a misunderstanding when all you do is keep quiet and not even APOLOGISE?

I thought i've had enough of 2007,but looks like 2008 for a start is bad bad bad all the way for me.


Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day,for me atleast.

feel like smothering myself .

yppah wen raey!!

PART 1
They only hire Chinese-speaking people because they said "need to liase with overseas people from China and their counterparts"

Best of all best.

"Hello, is...[the name of the tuition assignment] still available?"
"hmmm Yap it is..What are your qualifications?"
"A Levels"
"Do you teach Chinese?"
"huh? Nooo0o0"
"Orh, Den CANNNOT!"

*hangs up on ME*


I haven't even caught my breath to say Good Bye (or go to hell) to him, before he hangs up the call. *%^^$!!@#!13@ . Manners Manners,my boy! Not proffesional leh.

Btw hor, Just say you want chinese girl lar. alamak,no need to be so discrete la.
Your advertisement said you need someone to teach science only lorr! Didn't say teach chiiinese mahhh~

I sent over countless number of resumes (and no,i'm not kidding) and if not a single soul calls me tomorrow, i'll...i don't know what to say.

& He could have asked something like, hello, is your skin yellow? it is?! Good! You're hired!
or something like, do you celebrate hari raya or Chinese New Year? hur? Deepavali? aiya,cannot la. We also do tutoring during deepavali. Sorry.

No wonder my parents wanna migrate to Ma*aysia.

Malay language is now the hottest second language subject.
I bet they'll soon be gagging for malay tuition teachers to teach Bahasa Melayu.


It's Majulah Singapura anyways.

PART 2
I can't get over the fact that my younger (but not so young in age) brother is still a lazy worm at his age of soon-to-be-16!

My mum actually thinks I'M the lazy worm instead because i refused to iron HIS uniforms (4 sets!). To pamper a child even when he's secondary 4? *Puke blood*

But do i have a choice? Ofcourse N-O.
What's a girl to do?
pissed.

I guess luck is not on my side. Tough luck on believing that it'll be a happy new year.

Year of the Rat/Mouse/Hamster though *loves*

In the memory.

dragon eat mouse.
