Lil' Miss Sunshine ♥

this is what happens when i get too bored from studying. Hehe.

i heart polariods!

Where do i go from here? 

 Once again, I've been really busy/lazy to blog! Its been two weeks since i last updated, and i've so much to talk about! BUT i think i'm just gonna be lazy again. lol.

Caught a few movies too! Phobia 2 (which was really bad), Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in 3D!, Tokyo Sonata, and 500 Days of Summer. :)  All of them, other than Phobia 2, were really great movies! 

So, i've worked for 4 days at Daily Scoop now, and i quite like being a scoopie, as what Sean would call it. :)  Its a great feeling to be able to pass that scoop of ice-cream over to someone, and make their day with yummy ice-cream! I've also met some really nice ppl, and i really thank them for being so patient and kind to me, esp when i make blunders. :)  I love the people at work too! They are such nice ppl. All in all, i'm having fun working there, and i'm loving this experience. Oh! and i love it when i see familiar faces coming to the shop. it was such a coincidence to see deborah, my best friend in pri sch the other day. I also wanna thank ppl like naz, zuoyuan, ben, ziwei and deuel for coming to eat ice-cream, and make my day at work. :) 

Its 3.40am, but i can't sleep. My heart is beating way too fast now. :(

I just had a rather traumatizing drive home. First, i nearly hit into a taxi which was in my blind spot while i was changing lane to my left, and i didn't turn to check. I was going at quite a fast speed, and it was close. ziwei, so sorry i gave you a scare! =/  then, when i was alone, i noticed a small cockroach crawling on my steering wheel, and i was super freaked out. Parked my car at the side of the road and tried to kill it, but my fear overcame me, and it dropped onto me! Panicked, and brushed it away quickly, and it disappeared. :(  I hope its dead, or it ran out of my car. 

Studying for MGO, but i don't feel like looking at it anymore. I've only completed 1 of 5 chapters. I'm so screwed. :(

A lot has been happening recently, some good, some not so good. Looking back, i'm not even sure if i did the right thing by saying it out. Maybe i should have kept it to myself; then maybe things wouldn't end up like this. I wish our friendships are strong enough to withstand this hurdle, and i really hope things change for the better soon.


 

I see i haven't been updating for almost two weeks, and i seem to have so much to talk about! 

First and foremost, the trip to Riders Lodge was awesome! As it was my 2nd time there, and i had 2 lessons the other time, i took my 3rd and 4th lesson this time round, and it was great! i could feel myself improving a little with trotting, and i was really happy. Of course, it would be more ideal if i could get more practice, but its a hobby that is way too costly to maintain. haha. Nevertheless, i'll be looking forward to my next trip! Just want to thank my uncle and aunt, and my three lovely cousins for bringing me there and letting me be a part of it. :)

Been catching quite a few movies, and so far i've enjoyed all the movies! Watched 9, G-Force, The Ugly Truth and Inglourious Basterds, all within the past two weeks. All four movies were just awesome, and with great company too! 

A Red Carpet Affair, a dinner & dance organised by UB-SIM, happened last friday, on the 18th. It was really fun, and i truly enjoyed myself. Well, i don't get to dress up, put make-up and do my hair often, and its quite a nice feeling to do so once in a while. :) I must say it was a pricey indulgence, but without dears like joyce, kerri and jun, it wouldnt have been possible. Thank you girls for lending me your various stuff. :) The night was really fun, and i've my "two dates", deuel and sean to thank too! the two of them were such gentlemen that evening. ;)

Also, i finally went to Pulau Ubin! many ppl were surprised to know that it was my first time at pulau ubin. lol. well, i'm quite a mountain tortoise, i must admit. Anyways it was really fun to cycle in ubin! I especially liked the down slopes on normal terrain, where i dont have to hold my brakes and i could just let my bike take me, with the wind blowing into my face. It was great! The two guys were great company, as usual. :D

Alrighty, i'd better get started with my revision!!  I'm feeling sooooo sleepy. Haven't been sleeping well recently, and its quite rare for a pig like me, i must say. what is wrong with me! :(
 

Its the end of the second week of school already. Trying to catch up with schoolwork, and tell myself that its time to study harder! Anyways i caught two movies this week- Time Traveller's Wife and The Final Destination. One was really romantic and sweet, and the other really gory and disgusting. Joyce, Qing and i were like screaming and holding onto each other so tightly! Haha. 

Had nasi lemak buffet at Kent Ridge Guild House on tuesday, and the new place was so pretty! So, we met up with kean for dinner last night, before he goes into NS on monday. :)  we had korean food at Nolboo in Orchard Central. It was my first time there, but i don't think there's much to do there. Anyways dinner and the company was great! 

I'm going horse-riding later! :D

Unknowingly, I haven't updated for 2 weeks already! First week of school just ended, and work is starting to pile up already. Quizzes coming up next week! 

So, what did i do during my last week of holidays? Went for UB Fall '09 Orientation and was the gamemaster for one of the stations. It was fun! Although i didn't get to meet as many ppl as i would if i were an ogl, its still great to be part of orientation. :) After orientation, michelle, ben, ziwei and i went for dinner at food republic and that was the place where ben bought us teh bing that made us super hyper for the rest of the night. the two of us just kept laughing non-stop, even during the movie! it was absolutely crazy! We watched Management, which i thought was an okay show. Nothing fantastic, but quite romantic. 

After work on wed, the usual three of us went for crystal jade buffet at holland v! The xiao long baos that night were really yummy, all of them had a lot of soup in it! After a super filling dinner/supper, we walked around the area and inside cold storage for a while before heading home. :)

Friday was a really busy day! Michelle invited us to her birthday lunch at Swensens located at ION and we had lunch and ice-cream buffet! The food was yummy and ice-cream was good too! There was a lot of variety and i had a fun time picking the flavours and toppings i wanted. I love the chocolate fondue there! :D  Then, we wanted to catch the movie UP, but there were no seats left, so we ended up at Selegie playing L4D! In the evening, i met Naz at Lido and we caught Orphan together. It was a traumatizing but great movie. Dinner at Sakura at far east and then we joined the comms ppl at clarke quay for some drinks. :)

Another L4D session with zy and ben on sat at clementi! And, we had a drinking session at Conrad International, all thanks to andrew! the hotel is so pretty and luxurious, and the pillows are super comfy! we made some new friends, including someone from Japan, and it was really interesting to converse with him! we also brought him to geylang for supper and he was quite scared of the frog legs, but he liked the beef hor fun! :) 

This week, we watched Moon @ Cathay Picturehouse, which was an interesting movie, went to Daily scoop with lea and en, finally went to Timbre at the Arts House, sleepover with my cousins and watched HSM3,  watched a ballet concert at NUS UCC last night, and went for supper with the guys at west coast! I've so much to talk about, but i don't feel like typing anymore! 

Zuoyuan and Ben came over to play squash this morning. A very big thank you to Caroline for her rackets! Without her rackets, we wouldn't have been able to play. It was fun, fun, fun! The feeling after a workout is always great! And i'll never forget how zy laughed out loud when the ball hit my head. lol. With friends like this, who needs enemies? :p

After a yummy lunch at EAT, we went to video king to rent the movie Shutter and to cold storage to buy chips and popcorn. It all started when we were out having supper at geylang two days ago, and we were talking about movies, and the two guys mentioned that they have yet to watch Shutter. At my place, we set up everything, opened the packet of chips, put the popcorn into the microwave, prepared drinks, and we were finally ready for our horror movie. Although i've watched the movie before, i couldn't really remember what exactly happened, and i was still scared! haha. As expected, i was the only one screaming away throughout the movie, and it was really embarrassing! The two guys were pretty amused though, and i think them laughing at me totally ruined the atmosphere for themselves. haha! 

It was a cam-happying session once the movie ended! we started off wanting to take a picture of all of us with the movie cover, then we started bringing in more props such as the popcorn box, the packets of chips, and the squash rackets. :D In the evening, the guys were going to watch District 9 with their friends while i had to go grocery shopping with my family, so we said our goodbyes. 
Next up, xiao long bao buffet!

Had lunch with my babes yesterday at Jurong Point Din Tai Fung! A pity claire couldn't join us. Anyways, lunch was great! i love the fried rice and xiao long baos! they had this promotion where they had steamed chilli crab dumplings, and it was quite different and yummy! :) after that, we went shopping and then watched a bit of the chinese version of "Don't Forget the Lyrics" live at JP. i had fun with you girls! -hugs-

after dinner at home, ben came to pick me up and we met zuoyuan at old airport road for supper. however, most of the stalls were closed already, so we decided to have dim sum at geylang. After dim sum, we felt that it wasn't filling enough, so we went to have beancurd! their company was great, as always. :)

I'm missing the rest of the UBers already. Caroline, Cassie, Fx, Terrie, Joel, Jesmund and Kenneth, i miss you all. I'm happy to see that you all are doing well over in Buffalo, and i can't wait to join you all in Jan next year. :) 

Orientation dry run on monday at Sentosa was quite fun, and i just can't wait for the actual one on tuesday. Its gonna be a fun-filled day and i'm gonna meet more ppl! :) Had dinner at Modesto's before zuoyuan came to join ben and i at vivocity for the movie UP! it was such an awesome movie, and i enjoyed it a lot! the little boy is so cute! after the movie, we decided to go to Villa Bali for drinks. but i could only drink pink guava juice cos i was driving that night. the two of them had to force themselves to finish two pints of beer and they were so red and bloated after that. hahaha. 

On tuesday, smelly babe and i went shopping at bugis! it was quite a fruitful trip as we bought quite a bit and we were happy girls after that! i love retail therapy! :) we had kfc for lunch cos we were attracted to the spicy drumlets, and takao pachi at ION for tea before heading back earlier cos i had to rush down to work. i ended work at 9pm and super nice ben came to pick me up from my workplace and we headed down to Selegie to play L4D. Its so fun fun fun! i enjoy being the monsters more than the humans, actually. haha. we played for almost 4 hours, i think, all the way till 3am. >.<  thanks guys for the company! 

The holidays are finally here. Although Summer II wasn't a very hectic half-semester, i'm just glad i'm over and done with MGF403 and MGF405. But i'm going to miss my lecturer, Kenneth Kim! He's such an awesome lecturer! BAM BAM! :)  Anyway the finals was okay and not okay, and i really dont want to think about it anymore.

Here's what i did during the week of 3rd-9th august-

3rd Aug: Met up with claire and joyce for dinner at westmall! saw joyce in school, so we decided to not tell claire that she'll be joining us. haha. we had Sakae Sushi for dinner and we shared two premium sets. it was yummy! Then we walked around and each of us bought a pair of shoes, followed by ice-cream at Udders. Then, we went crazy cam-happying in my car. it was really crazy, and we had so much fun. :)

4th, 5th, 6th Aug: studied at home and went for exams! After the last paper on the 6th, i joined joyce at claire's house for a baking session, and we made truffles! i think truffles are much easier to make than cookies, cos it doesnt even need to go into the oven! haha. and again, we took sooooo many photos. i think we ended up with over a hundred photos in just one afternoon. :p

At night, met up with UBers at a bar called KPO, or Killiney Post Office. It used to be a post office, but its now a bar. i quite liked the atmosphere. we then headed down to andrew's place after that, and the drinking started. we played some game in which we werent allowed to break a circle of cards, and it was pretty fun! Of course, the loser had to drink. it was the first time i drank so much of black label and chivas. (i'm not even sure if i'm saying the right names, haha) but at least the guys were somewhat kind to me. Although at times they sabo-ed me to drink, they made sure that i didn't have to drink too much. But i was definitely high that night, and apparently i giggled non-stop! my face was burning and red too! it was quite an experience, i must say, but it was a great night. :)

7th Aug: Slept throughout the entire day, and attended Terrie's farewell party at Butter Factory! Thanks to zhihao, we could enter the club through the shorter queue! :) it was my first time to butter factory, and the second club i've been inside, and i quite like it, esp the cute drawings on the walls and ceilings. Anyways other than the part where poor terrie got drunk, the rest of the night was fun! a few of us had supper at lau pa sat before going inside, and the music was pretty good too! i had fun. :)

9th Aug: Had breakfast at Old Town White Coffee before going to ntuc finest to get some of the steamboat stuff, and went for a haircut too. then, everyone came over for the steamboat lunch. Something was wrong with my stomach though, and i didn't feel like eating much. :(  in the evening, we went for NDP 2009! The show was great, but we were seated at the first row and it was a really bad seat. Didn't get to see much, and the fireworks didn't last very long this year, so it was rather disappointing. Nevertheless, the company was great and i still had fun! Dinner was at Grand Park Hotel, the exact same place we went to last year after NDP '08. :D  

Oh yes, Ethan is soooo super cute!! He was asking his mom if he could stay over at my cousin's place after the NDP, cos it was getting late. he asked his dad to bring his pillow over to my cousin's place for him. lol. then he said "i cannot sleep on the floor. My bone will spoil". Those were his exact words. haha!

Okay, so that was what happened last week! Will update again more about this week, soon! 


 

Duckie and i finally found time to go for our Crystal Jade Xiao Long Bao Buffet! It was my first time there and it was really yummy! so yummy that i want to go back again soon! some of the xiao long baos were dry, but some were good, but it was nice on the overall. i couldn't resist the steamboat stuff too! everything was so nice, and the company was great! I think it was one of my longest buffet. I think we sat there and ate non-stop for almost 2 hours? it was really sinful since it was late at night! we ate from 9.30 to about 12pm? Oh yes! it was really funny how jess reacted when she saw me eating the chicken gizzards. lol. We then decided to take a walk to let our food digest a little before heading home, so we went to cold storage, which i just found out was opened 24 hours. Bought some sweets and stuff, then we just started strolling around HV. And i can't believe we stood at one spot and talked non-stop for almost half an hour before actually leaving. haha! we must have looked funny to the ppl who were eating near us. opps!

Friday was the first time i played L4D, and it was quite fun! Well, it was a little horrifying when the zombies started attacking me from all over, but it was really fun and i wanna play again! but i hate it when it makes me feel dizzy! After that we played dota, but i couldn't understand what was going on and i didn't really enjoy it. After that i went to watch The Hangover, and its an awesome show!! Super funny and interesting plot. :)

Attended duckie's 21st 'glamour' birthday party on sat! She was all dressed up and she looked so pretty that night! I hope you had a great time, my dear! It was a really fun party, with interesting games and yummy food! I love the door gift too! :)  Oh yes, i received a birthday present that night too! What a surprise! Thank you joscelin for the necklace and bracelet! Love them!! :D


( The pictures. )

I just came back from my first dive trip at Pulau Tioman, and i'm now a certified PADI open water diver! Yay! I just can't wait to go on more leisure dives in future. :)

( Dive in to read more!  )

Its been 12 hours. I don't know what's going on. You're driving me crazy.

First of all, babe, you know i'm always here for you. Never hesitate to give me a ring if you need someone to talk to, or just a listening ear. Stay strong, and take care. -hugs-

Yes, its mid-terms, already! Its really scary how time flies, esp summer semesters. We've to complete a whole module within 6 weeks, when it usually takes 14 weeks. The speed and workload is insane. mgf403 mid-term paper today was alright, and i hope it goes the same for the mgf405 paper on wednesday!

I know i'm supposed to be studying now, but i just can't concentrate!! :(

For the past week, i caught Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Obsessed and Sunshine Cleaning. All three movies were really good! Ice Age 3 was funny, as usual and it was not a letdown. :)  Obsessed was a bit psychotic. haha. I also attended dear Samantha's ROM, held at NSRCC. I love the chalets there! Once again, i wish Gary and Samantha a happy marriage! They looked really sweet together. :)

Missed the second last lesson of Sandart to attend my baby cousin Ziyi's 1st birthday! I can't believe she's one year old already! It seemed like it was only yesterday that i was carrying her in my arms and she couldn't even sit up straight yet. Its moments like this that make me feel old. haha. But anyways, she has grown up to become such a cutie and she can walk with much stability now. I'm looking forward to hearing her talk! :D


i can't wait to see how life is like, under the deep blue sea.

I'm so irritated!! Spent a few hours planning what to take for Fall 2009 and made sure that none of my classes would clash, and when i finally worked something out and wanted to register for the courses, 2 of them were FULL. i logged in at 8pm sharp (no, actually 7.55pm) and went in right on time, but within seconds, the seats were all taken. How can that be?! :(

Went to talk to the administrator today, but she said i had no choice and i couldn't add those 2 courses anymore, no matter what. It really sucks, because my entire plan to graduate in Spring 2010 in UB is totally ruined. i thought i could do 19 credits and 17 in UB cuz i've only 35 credit hours left to complete my double degree. I guess i'll just have to come back from UB to take another semester, that is if i do fly over to UB eventually. Oh wells.

Looking on the bright side, i logged in again and was lucky enough to get a seat for PSY443 which is communication in animals. I hope it'll be fun. :)




Maybe you're the only one who has the key to my heart.

I'm currently bored at work. Been playing a few fb games but it doesnt seem to help me relieve my boredom, and i'm getting tired! Bah.

Anyways, i'm just reminded of something our lecturer, Professor Barry Friedman told us the other day. He was so happy with his QB haircut, and he said his colleague went for a $40 haircut. Then he asked us "So, do you know what's the difference between a $40 and a $10 haircut?" We all looked at each other blankly and was trying to come up with an answer. Then he exclaimed, "$30!" :D Aww i miss our professor already!

First lesson of MGF403 (International Corporate Finance) was quite amusing. The lecturer, Dr. Kim, seems pretty nice and interesting, and he speaks funny, not in the weird sense, but more of humorously. It definitely helps keeping us awake. I just hope the syllabus and content is going to be manageable! MGF405 will start tomorrow too. 9am class! >.<

Anyways, thanks to those who accompanied me for kfc breakfast today! :)  ZY! How can you ps us again!! lol.

Can't wait to visit TM with duckie! <3
