i was on the train alone.. and was thinking back on what i've done the past week. i screwed up my papers.. fell asleep while mugging at 4am.. drew all my notes on pink paper with a nice pink marker.. made friends with the merlion down at the merlion park..had too much chocolate cream chip from Starbucks.. (i think that explains the extra 2 inches on my waistline) satisfied my craving for cheesecake, beansprouts, (yes, beansprouts. me craving for beansprouts doesn't make me any less of a human than you are) tofu and steamboat (like finally)!! celebrated ck's 21st in advance with the whole bunch of cm's friends at zongda's place. 4 birthday celebrations that day - zongda, koksiang, wilfred and chunkeong. it was just one big steamboat party, with two cakes, loads of beer and a whole lot of army talk at the dinner table. a party of 14 - 2 girls (hsien + me), 11 army boys and 1 enlisting next month..just sheer testosterone overload. sure, i knew a little about what they were talking about. cause ever since cm got enlisted, it was as though i got enlisted too. (i got my mini crash course = the many many lunches i had with cm after his every book out) and i dare say i know quite a fair bit about the 5BX, BMT, SOC and ORD. so i listened to them talk... and it seems that army is all they ever talk about. their different experiences.. their duties.. their expertise.. it's all what cm talks about too. and i guess i can't really blame him (them) it's the only concurrent thing that's going on in their lives and all they have to talk about...no? i'm quite sick of it. really. i really wish we can both go out on a nice date one day, minus the army talk. but then again, i can't help but wonder, how would things be now between me and cm, if ns didn't come into the picture...... bah. i can't believe i digressed so much..don't mind me. it's just a whole load of ramblings. good night! |

this week's book-in, feels a little rough. maybe i'm just selfish. hoping you could stay by my side, like how you did during my Os. it's just hard to tear myself away, especially after we had such a nice weekend together.. sighs. i'm so looking forward to the next.. it's just been 4 hours, but already, i'm missing you like crazy.. |

thank god it's wednesday. i managed to get a day off from school, and kinda shut myself out from the world of work and projects for just a while, which is for about errm, 5minutes? where i start to feel guilty about the whole thing again. about not being able to do a good job. bah. let me not whine about work for one entry. i met cm for lunch today before he had to head back to camp. he booked out earlier this morning for some checkup at yewtee. and was really surprised to see him reading while wating for me at bp. it's been a long time since i last saw him read.... after seeing him off, i decided to waste my afternoon away by cooking this dessert - barley with gingko and beancurd sheets. so i bought 30ograms worth of gingko seeds and just spent the whole afternoon shelling them and peeling off the skin coat. i don't really care if this sounds sick, but i really enjoyed it. it was just, therapeutic. really. it just helped to clear my mind. i like it soo much, i think i'm gonna offer to cook cm's family dinner this weekend. oh well, suddenly i just cant wait to sit down, open my books and study. i kinda miss mugging. (i know i will so regret this statement after i click on publish post) just like the times in secondary school..where life was a lot simpler. of course. i do not mean the crazy class politics and shit. who the hell would miss all that drama? i meant the simple life of a secondary school student. where she just has to sit in class and listen and there would be written assignments to do and english journal entries to write..and tys questions to practice on. i kinda miss doing homework on foolscap paper.. writing chinese compositions..doing titrations in the lab..running the stupid rounds during pe.. slacking during math lessons.. passing notes with shing during bio.. the sound of the stupid school bell.. the school tie and collar badge.. my uniform. basically, just the life of a secondary school student. things were so much more straightforward. so much more simpler. cause all that matters in the end are just the results from the final exams. i'm not complaining. really. |

I hate blogger! it screws up my paragraphing and font sizes and spacing and there's no way i cant adjust it. urrgh! anyhow.. here's a silly video.. that charlene made on randal presentation day. we were in the classroom, goofing around, as usual.... |

Been pretty busy recently, or pretty much - as usual. with school being a bitch, burrying me alive with the many projects that come one after another.. i hardly have time to breathe.. but then again, i always work hard to keep the weekends for cm. Saturday, 30th June we went to watch the NDP rehearsal! silly bugger cheated me. haha. said there will be fireworks but there were none lo. He made up for it though, after the rehearsal he immed brought me to kallang to watch the fireworks that were on for the closing of the national stadium. they were pathetic. not even 2 minutes i think. bah. but i got the best view! and lousy fireworks is better than no fireworks =) it was freaking hot, that afternoon at marina bay. we were like seated, waiting for the event to start and the sun was bloody shining on us. i felt like an idiot, sitting in the sun, melting away, and felt even worse when i couldnt take it anymore, and took out my umbrella to shield us both from the big bad sun - ala aunty style as depicted below..
 Orange tic tac. Ben & Jerry's Turtle Soup ice cream. i swear i'm sooo in lurrve.. who needs cookie dough when you can have turtle soup? the caramel swirls are just.... divine. hah! and here's my new all time addiction, kaya toast! seriously, it's all cm's fault. he caused it to start after he brought me to have some at BP. but then, i think i actually like the tea they serve with the set more than the toast and the eggs. you can't get tea that taste like those they sell outside!it's super fattening, so thank god the crave is dying down. i'm starting to get sick of toast and boy am i glad!  but they're nice photos although some were a little silly. haha. all of us, high on stress.  everybody looks a little down from the lack of sleep. and no one really has the mood to pose for pictures... not!!such posers. LOL.    Here's a classic unglam shot of me taking by my lovely bimbo friend Matthew. i will not wear pink blusher with red lipstick ever again. People tend to get a little crazy when the workload gets too much...they start to do things that, errm, are not very normal.they pull and tug at people's hair out of frustration..  or just start to accuse the people around them! see la, classic example. bunny trying to pick up fight with kel. so silly.. you know you'll never win lo. kel will just crush you like a cockroach... or just simply, go nuts. what are presentation days without the camwhoring sessions? the whole class was fully decked out in formal wear (with jackets, mind you) everyone looked super smart.My dead friend Eoin (who looks like a bloody lawyer) and my bimbo friend Matthew. I await the day where we can all 3 take a proper and nice photograph together.  you know i love you bimbo! BFF!   don't we just love the exams, ICAs and presentations? |
Took pictures to pass time! 
this guy is our 'friend'. i call him "fishy guy". i think it's bad enough for a guy to be wearing a fish costume, but in purple? haha. poor boy. look at him sulk!
fishy guy is one of those cheerleaders who's supposed to lead the section that he's in charge of with the cheers and songs and stuff, but he's pretty blur. half the time he doesnt know what's going on. he's kinda funny. i keep laughing at him. throughout the night. and i talk to cm about him all the time, asking why fishy guy doesnt do this or do that...and if he could give me the red star around the neck.
it was pretty cool when everything started. i think everyone should watch the parade this year. loads of new segments as they tried to make full use of the bay and their floating stage..
the bay was really beautiful at sunset.
We also went to the Botanic Gardens! errm. on another random Saturday. we went there to errm. torture ourselves with the heat of the bleeding afternoon sun. and to feed the fishes in the ponds!!it's actually quite fun. i like to see the fishes snatch for the pieces of bread. =/ ah, i know la. i no childhood can.
the swans are still there. the last time i went there, which was about 10 years ago fyi, i remember there were black ones. violent creatures. they bite. ever since i saw them attack this kid, who refused to feed it, i never really dared to go close to one.
saw the flag go by. think there was another rehearsal for NDP at the bay..
things were a lot better in the evening though.. walked around a bit. looked at the plants. the trees. and sat down to watch some kids play. quite a nice place to go slack your afternoon away. but quite out of the way.
oh. and i dont think i should go out without wearing make up anymore. i look like crap. really. i can just feel it, the dark circles are here to stay.. boo!
stupid stupid ICAs, presentations and exams! they're causing me to lose waaay too much sleep and to binge like super crazily .
