okays, i said i'd go on a hiatus but i really have to blog bout this, if not i'm doing injustice to the wonderful people who were OH-SO-SWEET to me ((:

09 clique came over just now to give me a surprise for my birthday. (man, i'm really old now that i have hit the big TWO.) it totally caught me off-guard seriously. was still being kind of upset that i had to spend my 20th in front of the laptop listening to the most boring webcast ever, eating maggi mee. but these wonderful people collaborated with my mom, some even lied to me, kept me in the dark, just to plan for such a pleasant surprise for me. but it's okay, you are forgiven. haha. and i'm really surprised and HAPPY.
HEART them all. my family and my 09 peeps.
THANKEW peeps for everything.
and i think the Flaming Lamborghini shooter that czg treated me got me completely. i was kind of "zzzz" after drinking that. but thankfully, not enough to make me drunk. LOL.
it was really comforting for the surprise and all peeps..esp during the exams. with all the well-wishes and cards. i read every single one of them. thank you you ((:
even though there's still someone who didnt wish me lah huh..but i know i should count my blessings..so yes, too much that i think it's gonna give me sweet dreams tonight ((:

every single one of you are LOVE!!!

thru-the-night study session with manda at macs the other day proved to be awfully taxing on me mentally. but i reckoned the time spent was good. first time doing such things..i mean, it's so hardcore to sacrifice sleep for books. not a very lucrative exchange i must. except maybe for maybe CAP score. hopefully. i seriously can't wait for this mundane life to be over. like NOW! but yes i know, once it starts, it ends fast too. it's already Wednesday...exams officially starts in 30th april for me. so...hang on muggers.

was discussing with manda if A's was harder or uni's finals. i gotta say i felt like i'm studying for A's at the end of every sem. who was the one was said uni life was easier huh! but i gotta admit, at the end of the day, easy or not, it boils down to the individual. we need discipline man. cramming 1 sem's worth of readings into one week is torturous please! but the problem is..at the start of every sem you'll find ppl like me saying "consistent work consistent work" yet it's said but not done...so i get my "deserts" so called...torturous reading week. i like the study process but so much readings is enough to make me vomit blood. vomit blood is not the strongest word i must say... right.

okays, enough whining. i brought it upon myself. all i can do is to enjoy this study process and try to enjoy exams? puke!!! one more thing, how can i sleep WELL without dreaming? i get all sorts of crap dreams these days. the workings of stress. hur. anyways from now till 7th may, i'll shall be on a.....
till then...((:

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Dance, like no one's watching,
Love, like you've never been hurt,
Sing, like nobody's listening,
Work, like you don't need money,
Live, like it's heaven on earth.


踊りなさい  誰も見ている人がいないかのように
愛しなさい  一度も傷ついたことがないかのように
歌いなさい  誰も聞いている人がいないかのように
働きなさい  お金が必要でないかのように
生きなさい  今日が最後の日であるかのように

today's finally the day when i end all my projects, reports and presentations. endless of them this entire sem.
am so glad i'm over and done with them, at least for this sem. today's presentation went on alright i guess ((:

it's recess week so it's hardcore mugging from now till 7th may. hur.
am thinking how i'm gonna celebrate my birthday this year. it's gonna be like this for the rest of my years in nus i think. clashes! sigh. owels. mom asked to keep friday night for the family so it'll be different this year i guess. simple and quiet one...

met lou and pam after class today to mug..pretty good. i miss those mugging days back in pj. bubble tea, ta-paos and urm..books. and CC's tuition class.
somehow, i gotta agree life's pretty filled now with mugging schedules to meet but it's pretty colourless. i actually enjoy studying now but the thought of exams..urm, not such a nice image anymore.
now that i'm done with the projects, it's endless of readings to do. the time of the year when everyone tries to complete a sem's worth of readings into 2 weeks. kill me please. i think i'm gonna suffocate just trying to complete nm2216 readings. for an tech-idiot like me..this module is too much. essay based somemore! i'm so thankful at least nm2219 and mktg's more manageable. bias-opinion here actually because i like these two mods the best.

but it's okay. what comes fast, ends fast! so my agony/nus students' agony will end soon..PERSEVERE people!
on a side note, i bought this new mag today and it makes me soooo happy ((:
okok. time for bed. my head's exploding with all the crisis communication & mgt study for nm today.
been tiring and long week.


seriously, i think i need some surprises to wake me up abit...i need to STAY AWAKE!

tried the new coke zero (okay, not very new) today...
nice can designs i must say but the taste is urm...not very nice.
it did taste healthy though, definitely in sync with its" real coca-cola taste, zero sugar" slogan.
but i'd very much prefer the original normal coke. teehee.


speaking of which i remember manda telling me that consuming too much/excessive amounts of sugar-free sweets/foodstuff can lead to cancer!?! i wonder if that's true cos most of the candies out there are sugar-free. even coke zero. tried goggling it just now and apparently, this drug "sorbitol" is present in sugar-free products as a "sweetener"...etc etc.. failed to find any relevant information bout sugar-free products leads to cancer. shall goggle more when i have the time.

okays. back to the books :((
p.s. i heard my favourite lecturer (ms gene) is not gonna be in nus after this sem :((( me and lilian are still planning to take her modules next sem. now we can't... )):

was on the way home today and i saw this cute girl on the lrt train. she's so chubby and lovable i tell you. her actions with her unclear articulation of words. especially when she tried to pronounce "phoenix" to her dad on the phone and her facial expression. so lovable!

anyways, the main purpose of my entry today is to complain. hur.
i got a C for my changing landscapes project. my gawd. a bloody C for something i put in effort for. where's justice please! true enough it's quite a last minute job on our part but even though it's not an A-grade material but surely it's not worthy of a C either! man. i'm fuming mad. like seriously. such a grade pulls down my overall grade and affecting my overall CAP score. i can't risk that. we suspected that there was no standardization in marking because how can majority of the students under my grader get a C for their projects. it's ridiculous lah. too unbelievable. SO...i'm gonna request for a review. ahh!! damn it damn it damn it.
someone appease me...

on a side note, life's been pretty uninteresting now even though it's more fulfilling. tuitions on every weekday...hardcore i know. but who knows all their exams are happening during my exams too. besides that it's mugging and mugging. seriously, i need a break. and insomnia's killing me. always get such crap during exams period. and i spent the time awhile thinking of useless things. the same old thing. i find it ridiculous how come i can think of the same old issue night after night.

you better be touched when the time comes (if you know who you are..)

i need a movie treat!! hur hur.

P.S. to the people having exams, aja aja fighting!

time to hit the books. again :((

countdown to exams: 2 weeks and 3 days!
which means no play until exams :(
went onto SPAC's website awhile ago and i think i really wanna adopt a dog! thinking if i should persuade mom to allow me to keep me as my birthday celebration. and the issue here is i'll have to take into consideration of the two little ones at home. sigh! children!

anyways, met up with lou and had dinner at a new korean place at bt timah. new discovery!! it shall be my frequent korean hangout next time...

i was on the bus today, tried out a new bus route which is interesting because trying out new routes means i get to see new things in Singapore that i dont/never see before. and i was thinking about this on the bus....

despite how everyone has the same facial features (i.e. 2 eyes, 1 nose, 1 mouth), we are actually different be it in appearance or personality (i.e. different colours of eyes, different sharpness for nose..) and of course different thumb-prints (thumb-prints that belong to the one and only). i mean isn't it an amzing thing how everyone can look so different from one another? (forget the fact that there are twins/triplets or what not in the world). but i mean there are like how many billions of people on this planet! that's when i thought to myself "isn't God wonderful?!?" to me, He is, you know. that's why, everyone's unique from everyone. be it flaws or virtues, outer-beauty or inner-beauty.

side-track abit. i heard from somewhere that on the other end of this planet, there's actually someone who looks like you but both of you have no relations or whatsoever. i wonder if it's true...

To LOU:
you know i understand everything that you said tonight but seriously, take you time. i'll always be your alter-go ((:


"what you said tonight/what we talked tonight made me think back to before..."

manda's a bimbo! lols. dont kill me, jiemei ((: teehees.
her recent addiction to harvianas slim is slowly taking its effect on me. hur.
trying to tempt me to break my promise to myself that i'll buy a new one after exams.
(yes, i know i have countless of harvianas already, but mom's wearing my old ones now...and i want a black one)
so blame it on manda for exerting her bimbo-influence on me...ahaha.
but the granite/black slim one is pretty lah. like thick straps better though.
went onto num's page and they don't have my korea singlet on their e-shop! WHY?!?
saw the singapore and italy ones. nice too.

dilemma. dilemma. dilemma.
hope you got satisfied your obsession ystd, girl but i'm definitely hoping i dont regret for not accompanying you there! haha.

on a side note, ferragamo has a new fragrance! i like!!
it's the "successor" of what i'm using now (incanto shine & incanto dream).
F for fascinating ((: even the bottle's nice right.
contemplating to get either that or CK euphoria. what say you?



hur. always caught in between. so many wants. GIRLS!

these days, i've been thinking back bout all that has happened before.
seriously, i contradict myself sometimes. what i think is not what i want myself to think.
if you get what i mean.
i really felt like punching myself sometimes. thinking about lost time..but time lost can't be found....

...Save your last dance for me...


some updates.
changed my blog's song but i'm still thinking of changing it back. cos it doesn't really suit my skin.
kiv first.

celebrated dida's birthday @ Timbre on friday. good live band i must say. but the "treatment" for bday boys and girls are ermm..dida had to dance to "squarebox"/mambo music. lol. hilarious definitely.

went for ntu wkwsci film fest with weiliang and pam too. cheap thrill! lol. but the film turned out better than expected actually. have to visit the national museum soon! and yes, been some time since i last saw weiliang. not much changes. still very tall. lol.

for the past week it has been tuition and reports. yes. reports again. last report to hand in. kind of last minute work. another week to go before our presentation so aja aja fighting my dearest team mates. the last leg of the sem is here, again. 3 weeks to finals. that equates to "start mugging NOW". need to find my motivation definitely.

anyways, something interesting on sat night...
just as i was about to fall asleep (@3am), i heard people cursing and swearing at the bus top. i was like damn damn. now, i can't sleep. (for those who do not know, my house's just on the 2nd level). so it's not that difficult for me to hear the ongoings outside, especially at 3am in the morning. apparently, there was 2 guys and 2 girls at the bus stop. all i saw was one of the girls trying to kill herself by running out onto the road. and the other guy swearing very loudly in hokkien. so i thought it was just some common couple fights and decided to go back to sleep. 5 mins later, i climbed up again, parted my windows, sat there and watched what's going on.

lol. you must be thinking, this girl is such a busybody. yes, i am. pardon me for that but curiosity kills you know. it was such a drama watching them kay. girl running onto the streets, and nearly got killed. i mean seriously! i nearly screamed when i saw a car coming towards her at full speed. felt so relieved after some kind lady saved her. the other 2 guys, one was crying and another one still swearing. 4 police cars came thereafter and an ambulance. followed by that girl's family. apparently she has a son. poor boy, all he could do was to stand there, not knowing what's happening and why his mommy's bleeding so badly. they are all so young can, i mean early 20s. what got me really puzzled was apparently, one of the guys is her husband (so-called). all i heard was "i shouldnt have married XXX". but i can't figure out who because she seems to be all agitated whenever the 2 guys try to calm her down. so i was trying to figure out the story between them but without knowing who's XXX makes it difficult that i gave up in the end.so the commotion continued for an hour or so, and yes, i sat there throughout. haha.

sigh. on a side note, sometimes, people really "picked" the wrong time to quarrel. just when i wanna sleep?!? TSK. blame it on my insomia and the location of my house. 2nd level that's why. but it's kind of drama-mama dont you think? haha. okays okays.

tired tired. tmr's another long day. hur. the bed's calling.

*listen to the rhythm of the rain*

did my mktg webcast today ((:
went through several universities for SEP and that got me thinking about which one i wanna enter for SEP and i've shortlisted a few. so now's waiting for the next SEP round to be open and of cos, working towards a better CAP. hard work..but i guess it'd be worth it.

on a side note, i'm into HKD these days (besides my taiwan idol dramas).
not Hong Kong Dollars but Hong Kong Dramas ((:
DICEY BUSINESS (starring Bobby Yeung)
it's something different from the typical idol drams.
displaying the struggle for power, status and wealth. something that's really true in this realistic society of ours. but also showing what's true friendship, brotherhood and determination, and of cos, there's still a bit of romance here and there.
something really worth watching.
shall use the chance to learn abit of cantonese (in preparation for my next trip to HKG). haahaa.
like such casino-setting shows. just like the one (starring zoe tay and li nan xing) i used to watch when i was younger. forgot the name but i'm sure many of us watched that when we were like in primary school.

it's a little long though (25 episodes), unlike idol dramas. but i'll watch it till the end since it's getting really exciting in terms of plot. still into taiwan dramas of cos and yes, gossip girl and prison break. but Hong Kong Dramas gives a change in taste in terms of plot and cast can be really interesting and addictive at times. afterall, i'm a drama addict at heart. dramas just interest me. good ones of cos!

here's the theme song (ENJOY!)

HAPPY APRIL's FOOL!
it's seldom that people actually remembers april's fool. so yah, decided to play some tricks on my beloved friends today and man, i sure had fun! but i bet there are some who's reading this entry now and wanted to kill me cos they got TRICKED!
*evil laughter*

most classical joke of the day: i told sis (yes, my blood-related sista) that i was pregnant and she actually believed me! oh my. she seriously thought her sista's so stupid. TSK TSK.
was telling lilian that if manda played the exact trick on me, i'd really have believed her! i mean, i'm serious! haha.
(manda and yg will really kill me that they read this..haha)

but i really had fun. esp when i read the replies. make me laugh so hard. lol. the only 2 who didnt get tricked were himbo and marcus. sigh. nvm. there's always next year ((:

anyways, just got the peektures from good friday outing with my jiemeimens.
