My chilli crab

Yay! i finally had my chilli crab at Kallang Airport. So delicious! I feel that it's nicer than the previous time i went there. ahhh... so gonna miss the chilli.

I finally met up with Aishah and Ashley yesterday at NHC area. We went houseman canteen for lunch. It changed so much! the food became so much more expensive. I wanted to but some salad prawns with rice but this horrible stethoscope man was standing there and blocking the way/queue. zzz... fancy a stethoscope in a canteen. Where's the infection control?? I was happily chatting with the self-proclaimed old women about all sorts of things. Even though time was short, it was a nice experience for me.

Anyway, i went to donate blood after the meeting since bloodbank's in the area. I nearly failed my blood iron test!! My blood didn't sink when the nurse tested it. I had no fear this time when the nurse pricked my fingertip to get my blood, that's probably cos i had too much of that during NSG1FUn. HAHA! Then came the real part... The injection was horrible but i could see a bulge at my skin area. She probably injected into the subcutaneous region? Then came the thick needle... The nurse pushed it in like really deep in and i could feel it. omg >.< It hurts... but doesn't hurt as much as Aust's one. In aust, they don't even anaesthesize my arm area. Free gifts i got for selling blood: a pin and a new stress ball =D

Monday

So today's the day when i meet bun once again after 1 year. haha.
We arranged to meet at Liang court to have my favourite okonomiyaki at Botejyu. Before that, i went to Carrefour to shop for some mass-production clothes like FBTs. Omg, the service was horrible. The saleswoman didn't noe what she was selling and she just plain weird. I thought it'd be better if i looked at the stuff myself. I shopped for a hell lot of stuff and i guess im almost done with my shopping list. I think i like mass productions centres =P

Anyway, I was supposed to meet bun late but then, I finished shopping earlier than i expected so I met him at our original designated time at Liang court. Walking past clarke quay reminded me of my clubbing night. Ahhh... Anyway, we got there at Liang Court and I thought Botejyu wasn't opened yet because there seems to be no one around and the kitchen doesn't seem to be operating so we took a walk around. I guess our main aim was to talk rather than to shop. Eventually, we went to Botejyu to check out the opening times, only to realised that there's simply no one there but it's opened. haha!

I had a prawn Okos, and bun had a moonlight Okos + seafood yakisoba. The noodles do not seem to be soba material. zzz. Anyway, the Okos were amazing. I love them!!! Then bun and i just spent the rest of the night chatting away at Botejyu and at Singapore river. It's still nicer talking face to face than msn.

During the chat, i was so amazed to find out that some "facts" about gangsters, which i heard from a "gangster", were actually true! roarrrr... i think i'm just plain ignorant about the world, or i've been living in a relatively innocent world for too long.

Just updating

Friday I went to IMM to meet up with jaey and a long-lost friend, mx. We had a really long chat that day. Even after jaey went, i ended up chatting with mx for a few more hours until about 10+pm before we set off for home. That night i was sms-ing Eugene since he's a long-lost friend too. Well, cos tracy invited me to a club on saturday night and I thought i wanted some company if i didn't manage to adapt to the club. He's the only possible person to get i guess, but unfortunately, he was stuck in camp for duty and we just ended up chatting. Used to be cheated many times by his sweet talking, only to realise that he did that cos he treated me like a xiaomeimei even though i was his age. Maybe he has matured too early, in terms of drinking and pubbing ya? Upon clarification, he no longer did all the sweet talking as i'm no longer the childish person 1 year ago. The night wind is cold...

Saturday I went over to my grandma's house for dinner. She cooked curry chicken specially for me and I really loved it. At night, I went to Rebel at Clarke Quay. Well, I didn't have tracy's no. and I couldn't contact her. I was really really late cos i left my grandma's house late so i had no idea how to find her other than going into the club and search for her. I got lost at Clarke Quay finding the place but eventually I did. Lady luck was probably looking after me that night as I caught her when she was leaving the club for fresh air.

Singapore club... drinking is of course the norm and there's definitely dancing. Rebel is full of youngsters. They appear old to me but i can see that there are many NSmen too due to their hair. there's really good music too and I seriously loved the music even though i haven't heard most of them. I just chilled out that night till late before heading back. didn't really drink and i was really sober throughout the night.

Sometimes I have really bad dreams about quarrelling with my mum, but I've never had bad dreams about quarrellig with my dad. Maybe in reality, I quarrel a lot with my dad and I vent out that part of frustration in me. I probably have a lot of repressed frustration about my mum which usually appears in dreams. It's really bad and i don't like it but sometimes i wonder why i hate my brother so much. Well, he pisses me off sometimes but my mum may be part of the cause. She doesn't admit it, but she's obviously biased towards him. She calls me by his name mistakenly sometimes but she never calls my bro by my name before. She remembers things that my bro loves but she never remembers things that I love. I love eating fish maw but during dinner today, she didn't even bothered to ask whether I eat that and just assumed that I don't. She bothered to ask my bro and gave him a piece. I felt so neglected at that moment. The next moment, i just kept quiet and took a piece of fish maw myself.
As the length of time in sg grows shorter, i became more and more depressed each day and more sensitive with such issues. I believe that my parents never understood me completely. As they nag more and more each day, the quieter i grew. I began to not even respond to whatever they ask because I don't find a point to. I can gradually relate myself to Jack Neo's movie, I not stupid 2. Each time i watch it, i find myself being able to relate to the issues being touched on in the show. I know that they love me, and I understand why they nag and worry for me. Just that sometimes, I want something more than love - understanding and trust.

Tanning

Just went sentosa for a tanning session with jaey. It's the first time i've been there like...not with a huge group of people. Even though we always go to the same place (aka siloso beach), i feel that i experience a different kind of fun each time. First time, major class outing with senior class. second time, major xianyue outing with senior batch. third time, class outing again. ahhh i've lotsa fun there. Siloso beach has changed so much, i dun really like it that much. I used to like swimming across to the mini islands but they've built bridges since a year ago. So disappointing... we lose the excitement of struggling across the seawaters to reach our destination.

suntan-ing was omg... I felt myself literally roasted under the hot sun. I could feel the droplets of sweat trickling down my skin. I could feel the sand piercing through my skin. Roarrr... I guess the tanning time wasn't enough, i didn't turn red like a roasted pig. It was an interesting experience though =) Maybe i'm slightly darker... maybe.

Then i went for my shopping trip at daiso @ vivo. I love daiso =) Ok, daiso is cheap and i'm a cheapskate. Daiso also has interesting stuff that I'd love to buy. I bought some microwaveable containers which i'll bring over to store my lunch. I bought an onigiri-maker. I bought chopsticks! The cute metal kinds, and a super short pair for my bento-days. I also bought lunch-bags which i can use to store my lunchboxes so that I dun have to worry about food spilling in my bag. I'm so jap >.< rahhhh.... if only there's daiso in melb, i'll go dere every weekend.

My new haircut

I had my haircut at Supercuts again. Well, it's definitely expensive but i just want to have a decent haircut that i wouldn't regret. Sometimes, it's "worth" paying that much paying for a haircut that i won't regret.

The service there is really good. First they ask u whether u wan a drink or stuff. Then they bring magazines over for you. Then they'll ask you to wait, in a patient manner. Quite nice =)

Then i got a hairwash. omg... i dunno why, but i just don't like the idea of guys touching my hair. I'm very sorry to that guy, but i was having goosebumps when he washed my hair. worse off, he started massaging the neck area and omg, it was hell for me. y?? BECAUSE, it's the most ticklish body part of mine. I was totally struggling not to laugh, and not to present my reflex actions (which is to punch the person touching my neck). Oh well, i finally had my hair properly washed =D

Then i got my haircut. My hairdresser is a very nice lady and i got to chat with her while i got my haircut. I didn't really tell her what I wanted and she was very patient with me. I let her decide wad she wants to do with my hair. I just told her that i want it shorter. I like my new hairstyle =) at least, it's not something i'll regret like in the past. Maybe cos my hair is longer and even if the style is ugly i can easily get rid of it.

It's a nice haircut experience. I don't like my haircut to be rushed through. I like it slow. This whole haircut took me 2 hrs in total and I really enjoyed it. weee~~

Time passes really quickly and in less than 2 weeks, i'll be embarking on my journey to melb once again.
I just found out about my new college room. Tower 12BE. According to the experienced, it's away from the kitchen and the rest really admired me for having that room. To me, having my room away from the kitchen is the best thing i can have for a new room=) Less noise =)) Well, im on toto's floor, which means I'm gonna be his neighbour! Free thai culinary lessons =D Oh yea, and Eshan is my RA! I think that sounds really really really good. I bet Eshan's gonna be a fun RA.

then again, I'm gonna miss my family and relatives in Singapore. I'll miss my dear friends and buddies in singapore. ahma ar... emmie ar...mx ar... so sad =( I can only see you guys like after 11 months once again. Really gonna miss u guys but when u guys are free, remember to chat with me through msn k?
Another group of people im gonna miss are my maple friends. Well, they're just a bunch of virtual friends to others. To me, they are a new group of friends i just made. Aged between 17 - 23, we are probably the more mature bunch of people who are always caught pqing together. Well, pqing with strangers is rather horrible because u nv know whether these people are potential slackers/irritants. Pqing wif a group of friends u already, and trust, means ur pq experience will always be nice and warm. That's true! haha... the few of us really have lotsa fun together, either chatting, gossipping or bullying each other. My dear blahh, yoshie, xammie, barnie, frostie, keepsie, karlie, zephie, yeanie, dexxie, snowie, cheekie... gonna miss u all lots lots lots!! not to forget my non-pq/maple-chatterbox frens char, boiboi, slim... Awwwww...

Todae's Vdae! and poor bachelorettes like me hibernate at home =P LOL!! feels kinda sad without a partner, but then again, wad to do? Live with it =) I feel mroe sad when on such a dae, u noe ur girl friends are definitely not with you. Oh well, I'm a girl too. Can't expect another girl to be with me on such a special male-female day =P unless im a l3s 0.o'''

Alright, muacks to all my dear friends and family! smoochies (>3<)

Pri sch class gathering!

I forgot to update about this once in a decade gathering on last saturday.
It has been almost 10 years since we knew each other in 5A2, HIPS. We finally arranged a class gathering after such a long period of time.
I should sae, we must thank facebook for bringing us all together. I think facebook has made it easier for us to contact each other and arrange an event. Thanks to shawnlau and zehou who took the initiative to organise this event after some of us suggested meeting up.
It was a bbq, and a session full of memory recollections. It was quite interesting to bring up all sorts of childhood memories during our classes and certain never-heard-of gossips. Still remember who our teachers in pri class, and how notorious we were as a class in HIPS. We had the most prefects in the class and even the naughtiest people were prefects. I wonder how the selection system works?
It was nice meeting everyone else, knowing that some people have changed, and some people still remained the same. I can still remember most people, but some people seem to have slipped off my mind until some memory-pro people recalled the whole namelist. That's when i realised that OH! this guy/girl is in my class. haha... A pity we've lost contact with certain classmates but it was wonderful that most of us are still contactable in one way or another.
I'd love to meet all of u again!

Sometimes i lie, sometimes i tell the truth.
I don't know how many times i've lied for the sake of others' happiness. I don't know how many truths i've told for the sake of my own happiness. I'm so good with lies that no one knows when i'm lying and when i'm telling the truth. It's sometimes better to keep the truth. It saves a lot more trouble.

SingSoc bbq

Todae's bbq went relatively well.
We started off by meeting at bukit panjang plaza to get our bbq stuff. I bought my favourite onigiri for lunch =P we were actually quite fast when it comes to choosing the stuff needed for the bbq. I think it's probably cos we din need much ingredients for the simple aussie style bbq.
Shopping was done relatively quick. Den we met up with the late few before gg to faezah's place to prepare the ingredients.

I practised peeling carrots =) Next time i can prepare salads myself alreadi!
The rest of the ingredients were all sausages and stuff so we just needed to get them out from the fridge.

Then on our way there to SAFRA toa payoh, it freaking started to rain. Rain on a BBQ dae!! omgosh!!! I was hoping the rain will become smaller. It started pouring when we reached our pit. well the rainpour didn't last long and we began setting up the fire after attempting to dry the bbq pit. It's my first time setting up the fire independently without the help from girl guides or adults =)) An achievement eh...

The fire took some time to burn well so we took really long to cook the food. I wonder whether everyone had their fill? It's just a small aussie style bbq gathering. I hope everyone had at least a taste yea. I didn't eat much because after bbq-ing so much, i didn't feel like touching any of those sausages already. I was so busy being the charcoal woman, and bbq staff, that i actually didn't interact with anyone =( but oh well... there are other events and we'll see them soon.

BBQ ended quite smoothly with a few hiccups along the way. yesh! can't wait to see the first yrs in melb!

America's next top model (antm) cycle 11 has started! I feel so sad however, cos this means i can't finish watching the full cycle again. I managed to finish watching only the first 5 episodes of cycle 10. Got so exciting... and i can't continue. Then now, cycle 11 has started and i can't finish watching again cos i'm flying soon >.<

watching antm is nice because you get to see how girls bitch and you get to hear how they plot against each other. It's kind of interesting. Reflects some sort of reality. I think i can learn a bit from this show? Since i'm going to work in a mainly-girls environment in the future. I'm not exactly saying that all girls are like those antm girls. Antm girls are twice as bitchy i guess but sometimes, the average girl can be equally complicated too.

"Transitioning is like going through puberty all over again". Haha! A nice sentence I learnt from antm.

It's the start of something new...

Forget the past, start anew.
Maybe it was much better to forget everything, than to record them and keep reminding myself of what happened =)

I don't really know how i'm gonna do that, but i guess, somehow i'll survive as I know there's always someone right there for me.
