behind the scenes

fickle like a pickle

06/02/2010 · 3 Comments

i am the most fickle minded person on earth i swear. i decided not long ago that i wouldnt go back to 2cm to work, so i took the tuition centre job. but after 1 session working as customer service officer trainee ($3/hr training rate wtf) i have decided that this job doesnt suit me. so ytd night i couldnt sleep thinking of this and i’ve come to a conclusion that i will ask for a job at 2cm and quit the tuition centre one. its either i make $7/hr or nothing at all. i hope 2cm calls me soon with good news! *crosses fingers & pray to God*

life has been monotonous these days, its just home–>school–>home with some exceptions of short dinner dates w don and another trip to town with yanning on thurs! i’ve found another shopping kaki(: didnt get anything except for this bunch of gold bangles from f21 (20 of them in a bundle omgz) and some stationaries from taka. The last ones didnt cost me anything cos don’s mom gave me some vouchers!

today, i FINALLY had twister fries:D NIU NIU SHU TIAO! its so damn good i’m a happy girl(: oh since its the weekend, here’s a collage of some cute pictures i found recently. reminds me of this song intro-ed by yuanyu ‘lips like sugar’ hahahha.

train of thoughts

31/01/2010 · 2 Comments

why is it that people make less friends as they grow older?

 i read somewhere before that a study proved how as one grows older, we actually stop making friends. I used to not really believe in this but now as i’m the one growing older, i feel my ability to make small talks disappearing. not ’small talk’ in the sense of ‘oh the weather is so fine today’ kinda small talk but ‘how are you’ kinda small talk. there really is no point in trying to converse when i’m not even interested right? that’ll just be FAKE.

oh what a cold person i am now. but i dunno lah i guess this comes tgtr w old age.

maybe this is why couples, esp married ones, tend to have a very limited/shrunk social circle. they go to work, come home and see each other again. theres no room for friends, no room for girls/guys night outs anymore. its sad, isnt it? but then again, that is the fundamental beauty of love. you never get sick of seeing your loved one over and over again, and the bond that they share is totally different from that of friendships. so where do i draw the line?

now i’m contradicting myself. oh dear.

i guess my bottomline is that growing up is such a pain in the ass. the world gets more and more complicated and we, in turn, become more complicated too.

p.s: i’m employed! customer service officer @ bukit merah central K-tuition(: yay money come to me!

birthdayyyy(:

13/01/2010 · 4 Comments

its 2 hours past midnight now and i’m officially 21 yrs old o.o frankly i ALMOST forgot that my birthday’s on tuesday cos i keep thinking of sunday’s party ahhaha. but i feel no difference inside and out, and its as if  i stopped at 18 years old. hahahah ok living in denial.

i thought everyone would forgot abt my birthday because hello, even the birthday girl almost forgot abt it too hhaha. but waking up with birthday texts to read and opening my fb to see more than 70 ‘happy birthday’s totally made my day(:

spent the entire afternoon trying to START on my ab214 written pretest (so stupid really, who gives assignment before we even attend the class anw?) which i’m finally done with like abt an hr ago. urgh i’m hating this module and its only WEEK ONE. highlight of the day has to be dinner with love! he promised to bring me to Giraffe to eat since like 1 yr ago and we finally made it! this place looks expensive judging from its exterior but its actually not that out of reach really(:

its a simple birthday today, the more eggciting one coming up on sunday! cant wait cant wait(:

 

when the spotlight shines on you,
dont forget those in the shadow.

new year new beginnings?

my new year eve was as ordinary as can be. i guess its the old age catching up with me..hahah i’m rarely excited for anything nowadays and i hate it. i need some sparks in my life! so anyhow, went for a nice dinner with don and i decided to try a new hair do(: its not very clear from the photo below but i did my hair in a high bun and clipped my purple flower clip by the side. nice?

ate at taka’s sushi tei! we’re so in love with jap food and sushi tei:D quality is definitely there unlike sakae..but of course the price’s steeper too. don splurged on a zara pants and then we spent the entire night in town just wandering around aimlessly waiting for midnight. hahah countdown was quite funny because at 11.57 this group of ppl started counting down and after the whole whoo-ha of cheerings and all, some guy shouted “ITS NOT 12 YET LAH” HAHAHAH damn funny seriously. and we caught a glimpse of the fireworks from cine..really pathetic lol.


01/01/10
don’s parents wanted to treat me to seafood cos they heard of my good results:D yayyyy seafood! took the boat from changi and we went to penggerang or smth like that. the place is quite ulu..looks like batam in some way actually, but a 15min drive was all it takes to reach the more central part of it where the restaurant was.  omggg there were lobster, crab and prawn on the table hahah i’m how lucky!

its a sunny sunday today and i shall made a trip to the library laterzzz. its good catching up with the books again! i’ve finished a total of 3 books (Have a Little Faith, Ugly, Beyond Ugly) this holiday and am still not satisfied  hahahah.

p.s my upper left wisdom tooth is kinda giving me some pain. shit.

1. class gift-exchange party @ ntu
everyone knows that peili’s my secret santa except me:( i guess i really am slow. and so happens i’m her secret santa too! ahhaha so qiao la really. thanks for the present and hope you like and will make use of yours(:

we ate junk food at nelson’s hall, played alot of truth or dare and then went up to ADM to light up the xu yuan deng that eliz brought. its kinda cool really, and watching it fly off high and far away was kinda mesmerizing.

2. Fletcher’s xmas gathering @ vivo
met yanning and shengle earlier to walk ard at vivo before the freshies started coming. yanning gave me a pack of vapodrops to cure my flu and sore throat(: thanks girl hahaha. we had honey chicken, doughnuts, pizza, wine, chicken mcnuggets, potato salad and gummy bears at vivo’s rooftop garden but i stayed for barely 2 hours:( i’m always running off earlier whoops.

3. cj shooters xmas gathering @ huixin’s
celebrated eelin’s birthday with the most delicious choc cake i’ve ever eaten in my life! hhahah yummy<3 then we played monopoly with alcohol as money’s substitue:s the guys were gone by 1 am but the girls drank less so we’re pretty sober hahhaa. i hope their taiwan trip will realize and i’ll have money for it!

4. Day out with pl & jeff
yesterday was mainly a meetup to sort of celebrate and congratulate ourselves for our good results. mine’s the worst out of the 3 but i’m so proud of myself still cos this is the best i’ve done so far(: i remembered praying to God not for good results but for a sign to let me know if this is the path for me and i guess this is it. not outstanding but i’m satisfied!

today’s new yr’s eve but to me its just like any other day. went for the fireworks last yr and i’m traumatised by the crowd:S shall just keep it simple..off for dinner with don now, but before that: HAPPY NEW YEAR to all! the coming 2010 will be a great one and i’ll update next year(:

should i voice it out?
or should i keep mum about it?

that is the question.

back from indo and merry xmas to all(:

indo was fun though my stay was barely 2 weeks. managed to meet up with old friends all the way back from pri school and its so amazing really how we have stayed friends for 10 years despite being on different countries. apart from jkt, made a trip to surabaya too with my cousin to visit our grandparents. its been a few years since i last went back to sby and its kinda like a walk down memory lane cos i used to spend quite alot of time there when i was little. and visiting my mom’s side was kinda heart-wrenching and painful because my grandmother hasnt really got over the fact that my mom’s no longer with us. everytime she sees me she’s reminded of my mom and her eyes would well up with tears and that makes me sad too. so i admit that sometimes i dont really look forward to visiting them because it’ll only make them think of my mom and saddened them. looking through old photo albums at my grand’s house almost had my eyes running like a tap but i managed to control. now i truly know the meaning of this one quote i saw years back:

looking back on the tears would make us laugh,
while looking back on the laughters make us cry.

okay enough emo-ness..i’m past that stage already(: i spent xmas eve with a long lost friend from church julia, we used to attend the same cathecism class for 2 yrs until sec2 and got pretty close! but after jc we just grew apart due to such busy and tight schedules. meeting up with her wasnt uncomfortable or awkward..we both have matured but we still share the same thoughts and stand on things and it was plain amazing meeting up with her. dinnered at anchorpoint and then we attended the midnight mass, just like the old days:D

and xmas day was spend with don exploring 313. omg that place is hugeee. we spent the entire afternoon there and the 4 storeys zara and f21 was just whoosh! tried big coats and whooper heels at zara and i felt like blair lol. if only sg has winter..and don got me the perfect xmas present:
yes i’m a bookworm and i shall start on it tonight! recently bought and finished Ugly by Constance Briscoe and i’m dying to read the next one Beyond Ugly. somebody else care to buy me that for my xmas/ new year/ birthday present? (;

our sweet escape

13/12/2009 · 3 Comments

back from KL:D this is our second time gg to KL together and its like a thousand times better than the first. like they say: yi hui sheng, er hui shou! so anw, we left sg on thursday night and took the night train from jb to kl. dined at city plaza, took neoprints:D:D and discovered the super cheap macs ice cream so we had dessert before boarding the train.i was rather comprehensive about taking the train at first cos the way don described it was not very promising honestly, what with only curtains covering the bed and someone will come and check your ticket in the middle of the night:/ but it turned out pretty comfy actually! the beds were clean, the person who checked our tickets made his round early so it didnt disturb our sleep, and we were next to some angmoh backpackers so it felt quite safe.

DAY 1
and so we reached kl bright and early with enough sleep to last us the whole day! the sun was just rising as we cabbed to the hotel and it was a really pretty sight. its been too long since i’m ever up that early, and even so i wouldnt bother appreciating it. this is our cheapo but not bad hotel: Swiss Inn Hotel. its right smack in the middle of Petalin(g) street where the night market is and theres lotsa nice food around too! its only $60/night/room ($30 per person)! and another plus point is that they allow early check in (unlike the previous hotel we stayed in: Istana) so after washing up don brought me to this famous porridge stall near our hotel. the chee cheong fun and porridge there is really YUMMS ttm okay. plus its really cheap:D only RM19 for 2 bowls of pi dan shou rou zhou, fresh fish and liang cha for two. cant get that rate anywhere in sg loh. after breakfast it was still like about 8 am so we walked back to the hotel and napped for 3 hours lol such pigs. woke up just in time for lunch hour so we cabbed to this shopping centre called Sungei Wang and had MACS for lunch. hahhahah but it was because i wanted the curly fries la okay! plus the lunchtime value meal is so cheap..can save money for shopping what. oh but the ice lemon tea there sucks so please dont order it!

everywhere was having sale omg! all the shops have this huge banner that says ‘ALL 15/20/25 RM’ and its really ALL leh walao i was so tempted to shop and buy all the nice dresses (some are even sold on blogshops!) but i didnt. only managed to get 1 tunic, 1 denim shorts and some accessories for myself(: good buys though i love them!

but SOMEONE on the other hand, shopped and shopped and shopped that day hahahahha. don bought 2 shirts (RM25 each), 1 vest (RM49), 2 berms (RM 50 each), 2 watches (RM 39 total) and 1 polo tee (RM35) from sungei wang. walao he was so stressed cos he’s buying so much lol. but they were all really nice and way cheaper than sg!

after one whole afternoon of combing storeys and storeys of shops in sungei wang we were damn shagged. threw all our buys at the hotel and went down to see the night market. like literally just go down and we’re in the middle of it alr woo our hotel location rocks. but of course dinner must be settled first(: we had another famous local food: claypot rice plus grilled sambal fish. those plus 2 drinks only cost us a total of RM23! the sambal fish was damn shiok cos this sambal is really hot, but apparently it was too hot to handle for don lol.

it was friday night so the night market wasnt as crowded as compared to maybe saturdays, so it was good! just the right amount of crowd for the ambience and not too crowded(: lotsa fake branded goods: shoes, bags, caps, shawls, sunnies, clothes, etc etc. the bags were calling me but i was determined not to buy anymore bags, even told don to slap me if i were to buy one HAHAH. oo but i found this darling chanel sunnies at the market:D its round and cute and i love it. mr liew bought more things. hahhaha fred perry polo, armani aviators and a pair of onitsuka (however its spelled)

DAY 2
this time we’re broke alr so we saved money and ate breakfast at the hotel. for $30 we actually get the buffet breakfast too! not bad huh:D it was nothing great but wasnt horrible too, there was noodles, porridge, cereals, eggs, sausages, toasts and spring rolls! the spring rolls were nice and i gobbled 3 down o.O

we were facing the street during breakfast and by 10 plus am we can see stalls being set up alr! couldnt resist walking down the street to see what they were selling cos according to don the stalls change everyday. hurhur found a nice stall selling pretty shawls and bought some for souveniers and for myself too. and then don intro-ed me to another local delicacy: multi-flavoured muachi! the auntie was so sweet she gave us one each to try(: we picked 4 flavours out of the lot: mango, black sesame, original and pandan.

went back to the hotel cos we had to check out tt day and to my horror my period decided to come. URGH and i didnt have any kotex with me:( had to make don go down to the nearest 7/11 and i thought it was very sweet of him. must be his first time hahhaha. anyhow, ji touched!

after checking out and leaving our bags at the hotel security, we made our way to bukit bintang and checked out the higher end shopping centres. made a few stops at sungei wang again to change money for more RM cos we were running out of it (hahha don underestimated KL shopping) and got his dad and uncle some polos.

this is the new ji glam shopping mall in kl! its like ion, but bigger O.O its called the Pavillion, like 7 storeys high and all the brands squeezed together in one place. theres this super huge F21 with a male collection too, cotton on, mango, zara, marc by marc jacobs, paul frank, etc etc. oh and etude house! they were having 20% sale which was just nice cos yuanyu wanted me to get nail polish for her hahah ended up buying a bottle for myself too.

and then we headed to yet another famous local place for dinner. its like newton in sg! one whole long stretch of street selling seafood, zi char and satay/chicken wings. its very near to the shopping area so we just walked there hahha. pity we’re just eating for 2 so we couldnt try alot of things, gave the satays and seafood a miss cos its just not shiok to eat seafood with just two person. the chicken wings and yontaufoo were yummy yummy yummy! i rarely eat chicken wings cos they’re usually not cooked long enough, ended up almost always seeing blo0d strands near the bone but the chicken wings there were well cooked and very fragrant:D

yeap so that was our last meal at kl and we were so stuffed we walked back to our hotel instead of cabbing. redeemed our bags and then off we go to the coach terminal! as much as i enjoyed kl, nothing beats the comfort of my own bed and the fact that i can walk on the street w/o a care about my bag here. hahhaha all in all a very enjoyable trip and i’d have died and ate all the wrong things at kl without my mr liew:D

ok now i need to pack for my indo trip tmr morning! goodbye again(: *waves*
