This phone is probably the saddest phone I've ever seen or used.

I wonder how a phone like that can be born and bring misery to all those who have chosen it as their lifetime phones.

To all phone creaters out there, I don't expect a phone that never hangs or one that never gives you problems, but at least make a phone you truely believe people can trust, and not because they look cool or whatever you guys are aiming for.

Man, Sony Ericsson has to learn that too.

Staying with him without a maid is forcing the reality into me;

He doesn't care.

holidays.

2009-12-16T14:15:00.002+08:00

Here I am, in front of my computer, thinking of which year EXACTLY did I attend Primary School. Nicholas Chen, all your fault! D:

The hols for me are going really REALLY well, on top of having a fun-filled week last week (: This week is mostly swaving and skating, with a whee bit of time dedicated to doing my wine project, that I'm really working hard for, to make up for my loss during the test ):

Waiting for the skies to clear up! :D I can't wait to go to the beach again later (:

<3 cookies! :D

hols

2009-12-12T23:27:00.002+08:00

It's only the 2nd day of hols and I am having such a blast that sometimes I keep thinking that my hols are ending in a day or two's time. I've done a lot of things I've wanted to do WAY before my hols and YES, I CAN SWAVE DAMN IT.

To those losers out there who think swaving is stupid, Imma kill you if I get the chance to! (and if you're my friends, WORSE!)

Also, I've recently met up with my pri school friend Xiling! REALLY AMAZING. I'm pretty sure it's in one of my new year's resolution but it didn't work out HAHA! After two-three years, here I am staring at a figure that looks EXACTLY like a bestie I had in pri school!

No change in her tsktsk!

We're gonna have a new family member in the family! :D

PACHI <3

Boy do I LOVE that name! :D:D

we, fellow chiongsters

2009-11-28T22:53:00.001+08:00

pledge ourselves to finish our F&B project as soon as possible before the due date, so as to achieve, happiness, sleep and $#($#@)$

I'm so tired of FBOP.

weird-ness.

2009-11-16T18:09:00.003+08:00

I feel extremely weird today. I wonder if it's the medicine because it has never given me such long effects before. Yes, it's the 13hr one but I think I've never felt so down after taking it.

All that hit me today was just everything. It just feels as if all the problems are attacking me at one go and I can't seem to handle it. For some reason, my energy was focused on all the problems at hand. Normally, I'm able to handle such pressures by taking a step at a time but today felt different.

Today just felt as if I can't do anything I want to do.

It kinda makes me feel as if I'm thinking too much and that I'm making MY OWN life miserable. Jees, I hope my brain'll stop working on useless things and get on with my work!

By the way, I don't know if my brain is playing tricks with me, but when I was in wine class, I caught absolutely..

NOTHING.

I'm serious. I can't seem to digest whatever he said earlier.

But what I can't believe is, I just read through the notes, and for some reason, I get EVERYTHING.

Wahlao, what's wrong with my mind!

Coraline, end credits lyrics.

2009-11-08T15:04:00.001+08:00

I found this on youtube! D: Listening the lyrics to the song, it obviously doesn't match because the song is in glibberish, but it does make sense when you use the english lyrics and it REALLY gives it the errie feel.

End Credits - Coraline the Movie

Creaking is the door so gently,
Side to side calling your name.
Never ever ever ever open that door,
Things won't be the same.
Crawling is the spiders hand,
Seaching for it's prey.
Soon You'll be caught next,
Traped in the spiders web!

(the ghost children)
RUUUUN!
SAAAAVE US
PLEASE SAVE OUR SOULS!!!!

(ghost boy)
Find our eyes before the full moon,
Make sure other mother dosn't find you,
A button in the eye will surely curse you.
The witch will eat you too!

(all of the choir)
Find our eyes before the full moon,
Make sure other mother dosn't find you,
A button in the eye will surely curse you.
The witch will eat you too!

Crawling is the spiders hand,
Seaching for it's prey.
Soon You'll be caught next,
Traped in the spiders web!

amanda had a bad day.

2009-11-05T17:24:00.002+08:00

Yes she did, totally. It seems almost impossible to screw such a nasty day up but somehow, God managed to do it to her. Sigh, it must be the karma for being too happy the past few days.

Either that or I'm having a bloody pms that makes me think that the whole world is against me. But you know, I highly doubt it cause...

You'll know later when you've finished reading this.

It's the most unlucky day ever. I woke up to a bad start, did my newly cut short hair and went out of the house slightly late. I was waiting for the bus for about 10 mins, thinking of all the things I need to bring and what I'm missing out when I realised that I forgot to bring out my file. So I rushed home to get it.

While I was on my way back to the bus stop, it started pouring like a mad man. I was half drenched in lousy rain water and the bus came about 5 mins later. I got on, shivering with cold and got worried about what to do next because I did not take my umbrella out with me and I was in my uniform and my hair was done!

At around BNSS, the rain seemed to have soften and what was left was only a slight drizzle. I thought my worries were over when suddenly, I noticed something moving at the corner of my eye. A little busy bee was on my uniform sleeve, MOVING.

It took me quite a while to process that it's a bee, and I had totally no idea what to do I just freaked out. I shook a bit but it didn't fly away! Thankfully it didn't too, cause if it did it would've probably attacked my only showing flesh - my face. Frightened, I decided to use my phone to flick it away. It landed on the bus stop floor and it probably got crushed by the passengers getting off board.

Tsk, I killed something sigh ): Maybe that's why God hates me now.

When I got off at the bus stop, it started POURING again. I can't believe it. For it to happen once is quite enough, second time is as if He is ABSOLUTELY angry with me damn it. I decided to cross via the overhead bridge and when I was at the bus stop, I decided to shelter myself with my file and run inside. It was such a horrifying experience. When I stepped out, my pants were already soaked. Thank god I wasn't in my service pants.

I didn't know which to save, my hair or my uniform. ):

Halfway through when I felt like maybe I should die, I saw Jenson and he was getting in a Taxi. He asked me in too and I got in and noticed Fad there! At least He isn't merciless D:

Got to school, did my stuff. Failed my hair unfortunately, cause the rain screwed my hair a lot and it got really messy so... It was a bit depressing actually, since I cut my hair for this very purpose and I FAILED IT ANYWAY?!

Just when I thought it was over, we were going on a break when the rain so timely decided to perform a wonderful show of SHOWERING US WITH CATS AND DOGS.

3RD TIME.

The final straw was when we were dismissed. Just when I stepped out of TCA, BAM. HUGE POUR.

Oh God, what do you want from me!

This is definitely not PMS. Even if the rain thing is, the bee thing can't be. WHERE IN THE WORLD DID THE BEE COME FROM ANYWAY. I'M IN A BUS DAMN IT!

Ok. This is the first and last time I'll be ranting.

TODAY IS A NEW DAY. STARTING NOW.

2009-10-18T18:46:00.004+08:00

Congratulations to my dearest Miko who has finally been able to find her own way home!!! :D

I just wanted to write down this joyous moment so that it'll never be forgotten (:

about a girl.

2009-10-18T16:33:00.005+08:00

I was flipping the channel earlier and I came across a really familiar face.

Kristen Bell. A big hottie, electrifying girl in Heros.

I really find her extremely pretty, with her small lips and her sunken in eyes but Giles thinks that she's kinda squared-face. I decided to do a little research on her and wow, she IS pretty D:

How she looks like in Heros. Isn't she pretty D:

Other random photos.

Yes, I know it's from Maxim and I don't read it. I'm sorry but doesn't her face really try to catch you D:

Wow.

School.

2009-10-14T22:15:00.002+08:00

Time seriously flies like, in a blink of an eye. All of a sudden, school's starting again.

Sighsigh, oh how much I dread ):

There are so many things I've yet to do and I'm pretty sure lectures are going to be SO boring D: I'm going to be on medication every single day and mug like some nerd.

Yes, I'm actually a nerd ):

I've been trying to get this stupid nerd image off me so that people won't have to think I'm constantly studying nonstop and no, it's definitely NOT working! I may not LOOK like one anymore but I pretty much am D:

Once a nerd, always a nerd I guess ;)

I can't wait to go to school sometimes, and I can't wait to see my cousin <3 Boy, do I miss him!!!

pokemon world

2009-10-07T11:44:00.003+08:00

If the world was filled with pokemon, there will be TONS of pokemon trainers...

How would we look like?

I HAVE CREATED A POKEMON TRAINER AKA ME! :D

I thought it looks kinda neat and stuff yeah? So I got weichan to make and I created one for Giles cause a pokemon trainer like me would only date another pokemon trainer right right right? :D

And here it is! The moment you have all been waiting for!!!

*drumrolls*

It's...

GILES!

Awww LOL! Same hair, same coat LOL! I forgot to put gloves for my own character ): NOOO! ):

Special thanks to: http://hapuriainen.deviantart.com/art/Pokemon-trainer-dress-up-125433419

:D

one minute of silence.

2009-10-05T21:34:00.002+08:00

Lucky died today due to a heart attack. It was so sudden it totally took me offguard. Thank you everyone who tried to comfort me, but I think I've done too much and have sinned ):

I don't like dead animals. I really don't. I think they hit me harder than a human death, but I just can't help myself sometimes. I see dead animals, I shiver, I get upset really easily and I pray to our Creator to give them a better life.

When I saw my dead hamster, I was frozen with fear. I had no idea what to do and when I needed to hold it, I felt so scared, so alone. I felt as if I've sinned. I didn't give it enough love and care. It's my fault it died and that it could've lived a much richer life with someone else.

I really hated that feeling. I felt like it was plain muder.

Holding my dog today, rushing it to a vet made me terrified. I didn't want to touch it, I don't want to feel it's cold body. It can't possibly be real.

It was barking just 1 second ago and now it's dead.

I really thought it was just my fault for everything. Yeah, I should've sent it to the vet immediately. Yeah, I should've had their card with me.

Yeah, I should've known what to do in such a situation.

My mom had the exact same feeling. She was scared to hold it, to touch it's cold and lifeless body.

I'm happy though, that whatever it is, Lucky left happy. She was happy, I can see it. We've been giving her a lot more attention, letting her see the world, work her paws and make her smile and play with her.

She had a good life and I'm really happy for her. Hope she'll recarnate or live in heaven and be even happier than she was on Earth.

We love you Lucky.

mooncakes!

2009-10-04T12:11:00.002+08:00

I had a great time yesterday celebrating mooncake festival and had tons and tons of good food! D:

This cake caught my attention yesterday:

Special thanks to Geoffrey for the picture!

Doesn't it look so fantastic? It's actually pate a choux stuck together on a foil coated with chocolate! It was such an awesome experience, and I had tons and tons of cream too D:

Thankfully I had a sugar rush too, if not I'd be sittin' at one corner moaning bout my headache and that lousy tummy cramp ):

By the way, those weird berry thingy you can see there tastes really REALLY bad. I wonder what they are...

Flooble's up!

2009-10-02T20:43:00.002+08:00

Hi all, hasn't the holidays been just soooo splendid (: I have definitely spent it so well that I prolly made up for the social life I've lost during culi prac. This is the life!

Anyway, Flooble's database has officially been wiped out so I created a new account! :D You guys can start tagging now (:

Updated links and decided to ditch my shutterfly cause it lags like no one's business! I'm moving all the pictures to facebook! Easier to tag and stuff like that too right? (: Check me out there! I'll get that little lion to link to facebook (:

Today's weather was kinda bad but at least we did a bit of exercise and stuff (: Weichan has been super nice lately and I'm really REALLY happy to spend my time with her! We were just deciding to bring my dogs to the beach and let Miko play with sand for the FIRST time in her life after... 5 years plus? So sad D:

I'll try and upload all my photos by today in facebook(: Culi people, I'm sorry I'm taking so long to upload everything LOL.

I'm really really happy right now I don't know what to say :D

miss

2009-09-21T14:37:00.002+08:00

I'm halfway through my hols and still, not much done or achieved. I will be working next week at Swissotel for a couple of days with my coursemates and a really cool girl that I just met. I am really looking forward to it, despite the crazy working hours.

Just an update: I didn't make it through the salmon competition. It was a real setback for my buddy, but it was more of a relief for me. Although I'd love to go through the special training that Chef Desmond said he'll give us, I think it needs a lot of commitment and a hell lot of work.

Not to mention that I might have to go through Chef Desmond's crazy side that I've never seen.

Nevermind about that. We've learnt a lot from the competition already and both of us are ready for the next if they were to throw something else at us ;)

Meanwhile, I've been a really good girl at home by tidying my place and studying a bit, reading and of course playing when I get a chance to. I even decided to walk my dogs, and they ended up coming home with wounded paws. The poor things.

There are so many things I'm missing right now. Sigh.

headlines : New features!

2009-09-16T12:17:00.003+08:00

I've made some minor changes to my blog, mainly because flooble's down for some reason. I have a feeling it's a database wipe-out and it'll take quite some time so..

Meanwhile...

I've attached this 'share it on Facebook' icon on the left hand column for all of you to comment or whatever from my blog to Facebook! It's kinda cool, if I do say so myself! Whether or not people use it is another matter D:

<3 the icons! The pokeball effect is so cool D: And the other icon is just plain stupid.

Laugh(:

music.

2009-09-11T19:19:00.004+08:00

I've been drowning in the same few songs for the past 3 days.

I've come to realise that music is something that makes you feel like doing... SOMETHING. It gives you a reason to react to it. What I've been hearing the past few months or even years just makes me feel like tapping my feet and that's it.

Music doesn't just make you feel like tapping your feet. Music wants to sweep you off your feet and move every muscle in your body.

It's been a great pleasure learning more about the different genres of music but sad to say, Joshua was right! -gasp in horror-

'Music is about how the voices, the instruments, the beat and the tune come together as one.' (or something along that line)

What I've been experiencing the past 3 days is just random dancing and jumping, singing, swaying. This is what music is about.

Oh how I miss it.

bored.

2009-09-10T21:54:00.000+08:00

Yes, the title explains it all. I'm bored, so bored and so tired and feeling so... down for no reason. I think it's just one of those days where you just feel like shit for no apparent reason. I mean, there are tons of days I feel happy for no apparent reason. I'm pretty sure it's a good deal to have like, 1 down day and many up days right?

Hah, down days and up days D:

Anyway, seeing how happy weichan is makes me feel so much better, although sometimes I kinda wished that everything would slow down a bit.

It's like, one minute weichan's mine and now she kinda belongs to someone else.

Wow, it's like a storybook and instead of reading I'm just flipping the pages to generate air.

Oh and not forgetting how I feel like a lamp post all the time, which kinda suck sometimes. I wonder how in the world weichan managed to do it for me last time. She must've been through a lot of crappy moments D:

Oh well, for the sake of helping her I shall tolerate this. Lets see how long it'll get D:

jobless

2009-09-06T15:28:00.002+08:00

Yeah, as the title says, I am officially...

JOBLESS.

I've tried so many ways of finding one and figuring out HOW IN THE WORLD can I fit a job into my already mess up schedule (because of the not-so-certain-if-I-can-get-chosen Competition) and I've decided....

It's enough. I think I'll just wait till 11th Sept when the results are announced.

It makes things a whole lot easier, instead of thinking that I only have the next week as my last week of my 'holidays' before work starts. Plus, I've done some online searching and I kept getting some stupid Legit Online shit that really pissed me off!

I mean, the offer is damn good please?! It's like, homebased typing job and you'll earn quite a decent amount! But after getting their reply about some stupid Legit shit, it really pissed me off. Like, hello! You made me hope damn it!

I'm bored at home and Harvest Moon is starting to get pretty boring ): I miss pool! Thanks to a certain evil someone damn it!

the thing that kills all of us chefs-to-be

2009-08-31T21:54:00.002+08:00

Guess what. The thing is, INGREDIENTS.

Yeah sure it's a sure thing that you need ingredients to make food like DUH, but HEY, although they grow on trees, you don't own them! It's not like ingredients are free and it's not like food pops out of nowhere!

It's the hols and my dad only gave me HALF of my salary because 'It's the Hols'. But if you think logically, well yeah, a normal average student studying in a school prolly won't need that much money and if they did, it prolly meant that they're overspending.

BUT.

As a future chef, the holidays means, FOOD TRYOUTS meaning MORE INGREDIENTS meaning MORE MONEY!!!

Here's the equation fellas:

Hols = Time = Free time = Food tryouts = More ingredients = MONEY

Compared to school:

School = Lesser free time = More time in school = Free ingredients to use = LESS MONEY (Just for lunch and dinner)

Therefore, WE ALL NEED MONEY AND HALFING MY ALLOWANCE ISN'T EVEN WISE!

Free.. Or not?

2009-08-29T23:10:00.002+08:00

The hols are finally here and I'm blogging on the second week of the holidays (I believe!). The whole holiday mood thing didn't sink in until much later, partly because of the CP competition that I've participated which, in the end, I didn't win but it's okay, it was the experience I needed (:

Except, like what Russel said, later all I get is experience and no wins.

Bleh! I will do better and he knows that! Everyone will do better with practice right? The next upcoming Salmon competition, I'm pinning high hopes on that one because it really means something to me and hopefully, I'll get to work with everyone and even the seniors and learn a thing or two from them (: That one's a harder win and I'm not expecting much from it, but I'll do my best, and so will my buddy I believe!

Anyway, did some reading on recipes that I'll do someday when I get sick and tired of home. I intend to blade but weichan's always so busy for some reason so I might be ditching the idea of even going at all (unless Micro's going). Also, I'm going to spend more time with my boyfriend and help him with his work as much as I can :D (I can understand a bit of your work! I can I can! :D)

I wanna try making Siew Mai. Oh god, siew mai.

PS: I'D LIKE TO TRADE MY DILL AND ROSEMARY WITH WHATEVER YOU GUYS GOT. AND THIS IS NOT RESTAURANT CITY. IT'S FOR REAL D:

I'd like them transplanted to a small lousy plastic cup preferably, so that I can transplant them again :D Currently looking/waiting for haoqing's mint and basil!

Contact me okay? (:

The feeling of being cheated.

2009-08-13T20:50:00.002+08:00

Now I've finally understood how the girl in shopaholics felt like when she wrote something like,' to find out that it's not 100% ... ' Was the word cashmere? I don't recall. She bought some boots and realised that it's not made of some good quality material and felt very cheated.

You know, I think I feel the same way too. ):

I looked up the Chef thing I've registered for and paid 50 bucks for, just to realise that all of the restaurant offers ends on around 15 Sept 09.

That's just a few more weeks! D:

And I haven't used the card yet, and they only issued it about a month ago.

No wonder so many expensive restaurants decide to have some 'discount'. LIARS!

`331

2009-08-11T20:07:00.003+08:00

I just remembered the existence of my blog and I found this picture while searching for another which kinda reminds me of CCM itself.

In the picture, the poor man isn't making any progress at all cause he's being carried by some weird hand. In MY life, I feel as if once I've made progress, I get back to Square 1 after changing into a whole new environment, whole new kitchen.

As much as I hate it, I know that with these little scraps of information that I've gathered at each station can take me to greater heights in the future(: Just like the man there! I might've gained tons of leg muscles till he can walk all the way to wherever he wants to go with no problem! :D

Oh poo, I'm good at this x)

I knew I was right!

2009-08-01T20:21:00.002+08:00

Oh. My. God.

I just saw this advertisement on the TV showing this show called 'Life after People' which totally portrayed what I had in mind after we fall under the clutches of the hinis and animals will once again walk the Earth!

Watch it please! I will too! :D

Technology

2009-07-27T22:37:00.005+08:00

I hate today. Seriously. There are days I just randomly dislike due to certain events. But you know what? I HATE today.

Absolutely HATE today.

First, I had to screw up so bad last night, and today I'm as blur as a god knows what. I've already intended to get home, start on my CP which is also tiring me out, work on my research for my debate and of course, solve something important.

I've been looking forward to that 'something important' but guess who had to come in and block me?

Keep guessing. I'm pretty sure you'll never guess.

Printers.

Oh god I HATE printers. For some bloody reason, whenever I want to print something, I get the jams, the ink problems whatever. Whatever the printer can come up with, it'll just happen all on me.

And I swear to God I'm not making this up. In citibank, I get stupid paper jams all the time from those laser printers.

Haha laser printers. What a joke. You think they're good? BLEH.

I tell you what technology does to you. Teahnology grows more and more advance, but it eats into the very soul of every human being alive. Simple technology like the telephones and computers are already eating into young kids in primary schools. Printers are so valued in our everday lives that none of us can live without it. Tvs have been the cause of many eye problems. God knows what else technology can do.

I'm not saying technology is as bad as can be. It's just a double edged sword.

I can't believe how much I rely on these stupid machines that spit out paper with ink and as much as I want them all dead and smashed under my parang, I can't seem to think of any other alternatives except to handwrite, which might cause so much damange to my hands. Imagine life without a printer, where do you even get storybooks from? Assessment books omg. TEXTBOOKS.

You know what people should do?

Printer companies should guarantee their printers for life. I'm serious. They've giving 2 years or one year gaurantee but guess what, it spoils in a few months D: Jam and jam. For christ's sake, it's NOT a jamming machine, it's a PRINTER.

AND PRINTERS PRINT.

It's pissing me off to think that the printers in the world are making fun of me. You know what, I just destroyed a microfilming machine and I'm not afraid of you.

I'm serious. If you annoy me again, imma gather the baseball bat under my dad's bed and imma smack you before you can say:

'Washing ink cartridge'.

This man ought to be dead, and I'm serious.

2009-07-20T17:27:00.001+08:00

FOR more than seven years, from when she was eight, a girl was sexually abused over and over by a temple medium whom her parents regarded as a close family friend. He was a 'spiritual adviser' to the child's father, who was also a temple medium.

They trusted him so much that they let him sleep in their flat on many occasions, during which time he would abuse the child.

On Friday, the man, now 59, admitted to multiple charges of sexually abusing the girl, now 16 years old, and was jailed for 24 years. Married with four children aged 18 to 23, he will not be caned as he is above the age of 50. Looking skinny and dishevelled in court, the former coffee shop assistant faced 44 charges for offences dating from January 2001 to May last year.

Because of the years of continual abuse, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Gordon Oh, the child had grown into a teenager who hated herself, mutilated her body and was promiscuous. 'That the victim's own mother would unwittingly send her own daughter into the lion's den was only possible because the accused had shamelessly betrayed the trust bestowed upon him by the victim's family,' said the prosecutor.

The High Court heard that the girl's father and the man got to know each other in 2000, when they were mediums in a Chinese temple and also did odd jobs for the same employer. He became a close family friend - called 'uncle' by the victim and her three younger sisters - and was regularly invited to sleep over at the family's four-room flat.

In early 2001, while he was watching TV with the girl and her younger sister, he began stroking the younger girl's leg. When she moved away, he turned his attention to the victim, who responded by hugging him. The touching became more frequent and one night, he took her into the study where he slept and raped her. No one heard her cries and he told her not to tell anyone about it. He carried on raping her at her parents' flat.

After the couple divorced in 2004, the girl moved into a rented flat with her mother. But her rapist remained in her life when her mother let him babysit her while she worked. Her three other sisters lived with their father.

By 2006, the rapist was having the teenager stay in his flat during the school holidays. If she refused to go over when he summoned her, he would have her mother send her.

The abuse came to light a few months later, in July, when the girl confided in an aunt. It was only then that her parents learnt of her ordeal. They went with her the next day to make a police report.

On Friday, the man pleaded for leniency, saying he was remorseful and in anguish every day. He pleaded guilty to five counts of rape, one count of committing an indecent act on a child, one count of sodomy and two counts of sexual assault of a minor. The rest of the charges were taken into consideration during sentencing.

Spiritual man, MY ASS. What kind of loser would do such a thing. It annoys me to know that such thing STILL happens in Singapore despite it being so.. well developed.

I don't entirely agree with what the court did to him though. He definitely deserved a higher sentence. Apart from destroying someone's life (which he'll never EVER be able to pay back for), he calls himself a 'SPIRITUAL MAN'.

Urgh I don't know. The entire religion should be ashamed for having such a man believing their beliefs.

Wait. In fact, he doesn't deserve to be called a MAN.

He's an ANIMAL.

If I see anyone of these people, oh boy are they are gonna die.

I think I'll gather some people who strongly believes that this is wrong and we'll suggest to the court on how to torture them D:

Ok this sounds mean. You know what. The court should just cane that guy. I mean, if you don't just because he's over 50, he might not handle it blahblah, then what. Doesn't that mean it's unfair?

I'm pretty sure many people fear the cane but gees. If they get rid of the cane and use a lighter sentence, then won't it encourage men below 50 to wait till they're above 50 and then do outrages things and not get caned?

You know what I think?

I think I'll cane men who are older than 50 even more than younger men.

Seriously.

If they're doing it the proper way, uh. Doing it with their wives or in geylang or whatever, I don't care.

Doing it with young kids is just wrong.

That man doesn't even deserve the trust of that poor girl's parents.

He definitely deserved at least 20 canes.

Even if he dies during the process, he deserved it cause he can NEVER, EVER pay for that girl's loss.

NEVER.

Common sense.

2009-07-20T17:13:00.001+08:00

You know what. Being in the kitchen with the chefs taught me something valuable.

That simple thing is:

There is no such thing as common sense.

Yeah they do go around saying that it's common sense to do this, common sense to do that. But you know, there are tons of things we never knew existed therefore we have no idea how to do it!

Therefore, it's NOT common.

So there's no such thing as common sense :D

I decided to blog this after speaking to josh and both of us came to the conclusion that yeah, it doesn't exist. Plus, I saw a book yesterday.

Common cents: How the economy works.

Right. No offence to any of the chefs! I guess there's no better way to categorise something that 'you should know what to do' except to use the word C sense!

Different.

2009-07-16T21:13:00.001+08:00

Everything keeps changing, the kitchen changes, the environment changes, the people change.

For some reason, I'm not really happy with the changes D: BUT! :D I'm in Asian now and I hope that'll never change! It's kinda slack actually, but it has tons of fun things to learn, to do, and TO EAT MUHAHHAHAHA >=)

A few days ago I actually persuaded someone to quit the course and do the thing she wants to do best. I don't feel happy about it at all, but at least she found her goal in life (: I'm pretty sure all of us can wish her all the best? As compared to some of the others, at least she has a destination! :D

I'm going to be an Asian chef guys, just watch!

PS : I owe tons of people treats to my Asian food already HAHA! :D

Spacing!

2009-07-06T20:24:00.001+08:00

There is this big spacing in the middle! I guess you guys can tell which is posted on my browser and which is posted on my sidebar! x)

TERRIBLE

2009-07-06T20:23:00.001+08:00

This is terrible D:

Testing

2009-07-06T20:22:00.001+08:00

I'm using a sidebar to post this! It's so weird, but I just downloaded it to try heh. Off to bathe! :D

AHAH!

2009-07-06T20:08:00.001+08:00

Today was hilarious I guess. It was one of my unlucky days but bleh, everything turned out into such a mess D:

Except, one thing I must highlight is Chef Fum! Hahahahah!

He was telling me that he noted that 'I work very slow and need to work faster'. He said I have to work on that and that was what he wrote for me and then Ben was like,

"Today amanda's VERY GOOOOODDDD!"

And he was like, yeah lo! I can tell!

HAH. Looks like screwing up my day means that I'm working so fast I don't know what I'm doing D:

Baking and Pastry.

2009-07-05T11:10:00.003+08:00

I'm graduating from baking and pastry next week and boy, I don't know whether to feel upset or happy.

Sometimes, I just dread coming to school, working under those chefs who really have a problem with us! But every now and then I'll think back, and hey! They're doing it all for us.

Imagine. A teacher that doesn't get angry no matter what mistakes you've made, might just encourage you to go on and on, making the exact same mistake! Seriously, what are you ever going to learn in that case?

Which means that chefs who make the effort to teach actually care for you, even if they get carried away with scolding us sometimes (: So what if you get accused of not doing anything haha.

I can't wait to go to Asian though, but I'm pretty worried about the burns I might get in the future. Looks like I'll have to train with the ovens next week ;)

ADHD? Or me?

2009-06-28T19:26:00.003+08:00

Tsk. I've given some thought yesterday and I've realised how bad I'm missing my medicine.

It makes me feel like worried because it'll mean that I have to rely on it for life, and also, it makes me feel slightly stupid because my ADHD is just preventing me from eating the medicine!

Which reminds me of what I think of sometimes. There are times I just stop on a 'project' and don't continue it... Sometimes I feel like I need to concentrate but I don't... Sometimes like, for this case, tell myself I need to take my medi and fail to do so when it's in my bag.

It makes me wonder. Is it just me or is it my ADHD.

I mean yeah of course it's me, and ADHD IS me but can I really just put all the blame on ADHD? Sometimes I'll try so hard to tell myself,' I've already put the medicine in the bag. Eat it before school!'

And I never do.

I also don't know why sigh. Tomorrow I'm going to try it again. Maybe this time I should put it in my pocket! D:

PS: I added something new to my blog! It's a link to a photo website where I've uploaded all my photos :D Enjoy ;) Check it out once in a while for updates!

Revived as a kid again, or well, maybe I didn't need any reviving!

2009-06-19T22:00:00.002+08:00

A day at the zoo today. It was an amazing experience and it brought back TONS of memories from the past when I was a young kid (:

Then again, I'm pretty much the same now!

I see a trolley that they push their kids around and I go, HEY! I WANT TO RIDE IN THOSE TOO!

After that I kinda thanked God that we didn't cause there were hills up and down and poor weichan and giles will have to pull me all around or my butt would've been too big or I would've been too heavy...

Yawn.

I still flinch to butterflies.

Will upload pictures soon! Blogger and facebook is totally screwed. It can never hold THAT much pictures! ):

Genuine fun, and annoyance.

2009-06-16T18:48:00.003+08:00

The start of the day today was a boring one, doing work in school?

Yawn.

I wasn't looking forward to anything, especially going back to Courts for the 5th time to get a camera charger that they have forgotten to add in.

Anyway, weichan made it all fun and we had fun watching Shopaholics, and we started spamming scenes from the cool and awesome Step Up 2, and ended the day laughing at Keanu Reeves speak chinese in The Day The Earth Stood Still.

What a laugh!

My ♥ and I did pizzas yesterday and boy, are they good ;) I want to upload the pictures but I got too annoyed with uploading so many photos, especially since I took TONS over the week, thanks to my awesome camera ;)

I love it! Plus ♥ of course ;)

I hope he has fun in army ):

Which reminds me, my heading doesn't mean nothing to nobody.

Hello readers(:

2009-06-13T22:20:00.002+08:00

Finally, a brand new look for a brand new... me?

Wait a minnute, I've always been the same! :D

Anyway, here's a little change and you might've realised that hey, all my titles for the previous posts are all numbers! Right you are, they're just headcounts of how many posts I've had so far! I absolutely love the simplicity of this blogskin but the problem was the blogtitle and I have no idea how to get rid of it so from now onwards, I have to start thinking of blog titles.

Right.

The little words below you'reAMANDIFIED shall be uh, like those kinda thoughts you change once in a while in facebook, because I don't really have a good phrase to put there for now!

Enjoy guys, I'm missing school.

And boyfriend ;)
And friends!
And... BLADING!

Hey guys! This article is targeted at BENEDICT!

Do you hear that ben?! This is for you!

Don't get jealous guys, it's only our stupid inside joke!

Anyway, I was just surfing xanga when I came across the word, 'cheesus'. It immediately reminded me of Chef Rudy's unique habit of mis-pronouncing all J's as CH's and vice versa. Like Chason for Jason, Cheesus for Jesus!

Seriously!

There was this particular lecture on different kinds of... something. And then Chef Rudy said, there are many different kinds of smoked JESUS in the world!

And I just burst out laughing.

Apparently, Ben was laughing at the back too (I was sitting in front so I didn't know). So from then on, we kept repeating that scene because it's just too funny! Not that we're making fun of Chef Rudy, it was just really really funny for some reason.

Ok, that might not have made sense.

Anyway, ben check out this web!

http://www.revelife.com/702403208/what-would-you-do-with-cheesus-the-jesus-shaped-cheeto/?ref=FPP

Song of the day: I'm doing everything (for you)

Been stuck in my head for so long.

Please pick me I'm a terrible mess,
You know I just can't help it and I just gotta confess
You do what you do and I can't ever rest

So still I'm gonna do everything,

I'm gonna do it alright,
I'm gonna write it down,

It has only been two days and I already feel that this week's a total mess. Not only has school gone wild, it seems that I'm pretty much losing my social life.

Not blaming anyone. I just wanted to rant.

My poor boyfriend has to look after the house and clean up after the renovation, my friends can have late night snacks together and I can't join them, school being more or less chaotic and I've been trying so much to help the sous chef as and when I can and of course, other matters. Sigh.

Plus, my parents are going to Japan tomorrow. To be very honest, I'm afraid for them.

My mom thinks it's too cool to go to Japan that she totally doesn't care bout the H1N1 thing and she said she'd willingly stay at home for a week if she has to.

Sigh. I don't think my mom understands the seriousness of this matter.

However, she promised me that she'll practice the necessary precautions (eg wearing masks) when she's in Japan.

We'll see about that.

I'll miss my parents (wow), my boyfriend, my friends, everyone.

I can't believe I'm still lactose intolerant.

I mean c'mon, some people can actually outgrow their lactose intolerant thing. HOWEVER, there is another group of people who just gets worse and worse by the day.

I happen to be in the other group.

Damn it, I don't see why my stomach can't seem to produce that whatever thing is needed to digest the lactose. And without it, if I happen to take any milk products, I have to tolerate for 24 whole hours before everything gets out of the system and I'll feel well again ):

Why!

I don't understand why it has to be like that ): I had yt's cake yesterday and I shat like no one's business and boy, was it tough ): Only after... 6 bites of cheese?

):

And today I had milk chocolate and white chocolate and dark chocolate and yadayada. CHOCOLATES ARE NICE! I told myself I wouldn't mind shitting for the entire day today as long as I don't miss out in this whole tasting thing!

And after eating it I feel all jumpy and happy.

And after it's being digested I kinda regretted what I said earlier.

I mean, don't get me wrong! I LOVE CHOCOLATES! But, the whole consequence of eating chocolate is totally not fun ): Here I am, stuck at home, feeling as if I haven't slept for days and my stomach is making funny noises as if to tell me that, 'Hey! I'm going to make you suffer soon ;)'

Oh poo.

I've finally taken off the 'HOLIDAYS BABY' because it's definitely outdated right?!

Anyway I've been spending a lot of time in the kitchen now adays doing my work and all, and cutting myself has gotten from mountain to molehill!

HAHA I wonder if it can be used that way! x)

I've been a good girl and studying and working hard and I'm super happy to say that Maira is a good friend and and and!!!!

The weekend felt like a breeze that just merely brushed past all of us. I keep thinking that the weekends are TONS longer but hey, tomorrow's monday already!

I don't recall weekends going this fast!

Perhaps it's the dread of going to school because of the sing-song tune of the teacher's voice and the endless stress of creating tons of dishes in a few hours.

But one thing's for sure : everyday's never the same!

It's true! Every single day, we learn different things, create different dishes, learn different cuts, get different assignments. It just feels more refreshing than last year with the whole POM, OB, Econs etc. Life in the kitchen is never the same despite the pressure you have to go through all the time!

Plus, with an excellent buddy, it makes things a whole lot more fun(:

I didn't get Eric as my buddy ( thank god ), but hey! He does help me tons when me and my buddy needs help with cleaning up, with our sauces and stocks and broths...

Anyway, my buddy's hwee hong, and she's really nice! :D She's quite supportive and she helps me a lot. Remember my list of things that a buddy should have? :D Lets see which she has!

2. Please contact me asap if you have either:
a) Difficulty reaching the destinated area on time or;
b) if you are feeling unwell.

3. Always be punctual!

4. Inform me bout your whereabouts once in a while.

6. Please remember your deadlines and oh, help remind each other :D

7. Don't get me into trouble for either doing something wrong OR forgetting your deadlines OR for being late OR for not coming to school without some weird reason.

8. I know they're getting repeatative so all I want to say is, please be punctual at all times, be responsible and of course, keep your handphone with you at all times. I'm serious.

:D see see she qualified for most of it even though she didn't read my requirements X) She failed 2 though, which is the handphone at all times and the smsing me when she wakes because when she changes, her phone isn't with her (obviously). But guess what! Me too! :D So she's excused ;)

As for the waking up, we forget too so nevermind! She's excused again! :D As long as she tells me where she is (:

The one thing she does best is to remind me what to do! :D She really does it like tell me to read my recipes, to revise... Not bad at all! I really like her (:

We're so going to have a long way to go together. Let's do this man.

PS : YT, read your recipes before you go to school tomorrow!

`307

2009-04-18T18:18:00.002+08:00

I've been taking to Eric just for a bit and I was considering the possibilities of him being my buddy SO I've decided to do the lamest thing on Earth right now, and that's....

TO CREATE THE NECESSARY REQUIREMENTS ONE MUST HAVE TO BE MY BUDDY! :D

I know this sounds stupid, plus it's not like I get to choose the perfect buddy in the world SO, I hope that I can compromise with my buddy and he/she can do the same and then we'd be leading a very happy life in the kitchen! :D

I know it'll work things out, just that this stupid requirement thing is LAME, but it's a MUST HAVE. Please understand the dire need for something this crucial!

REQUIREMENTS

1. Please have your handphone with you AT ALL TIMES, including times when you're at the toilet when you're doing your business.
--> This is because in case of any emergency, amanda han can contact you and ask for your whereabouts!

2. Please contact me asap if you have either:
a) Difficulty reaching the destinated area on time or;
b) if you are feeling unwell.
---> This is important and you know it!

3. Always be punctual!
---> I'm sure you don't want me to get into trouble do you?!

4. Inform me bout your whereabouts once in a while.
---> I need assurance ok!

5. Sms me the moment you wake up!
---> So that I'll know that you definitely want to come to school AND to estimate around what time you can get to school and if you'd be late!

6. Please remember your deadlines and oh, help remind each other :D
---> I'm sure you'd be nice to do something like that for all of us :D

7. Don't get me into trouble for either doing something wrong OR forgetting your deadlines OR for being late OR for not coming to school without some weird reason.
---> I'd just die.

8. I know they're getting repeatative so all I want to say is, please be punctual at all times, be responsible and of course, keep your handphone with you at all times. I'm serious.

I'll do my part to fulfill all the requirements above so it's up to you bud! :D These are pretty simple and standard and I'm so sure tons of people hope for something like that tooooo! :D

If any of the requirements are not met, I will personally kill you and maybe we should have this whole punishment thing like you giving me a treat or something. WE NEED TO PUNISH WHEN NECESSARY!!!

Yours faithfully,
Your future buddy, Amanda.

You guys are soooooo free to take these down and add on to your lists and stuff.
I'm so lame.

PS : I'll always be there for you weichan(:

2009-04-14T20:55:00.005+08:00

I've been thinking about something for quite some time, ever since my mom mentioned this one sentence.

'The reason why Japanese/Korean fashion can't get into Singapore is because of people like YOU who can't accept things like that.'

To be honest, I associate everything to do with Japanese and Korean fashion to be 'C'. I mean, there are tons of girls out there who are Jap/Korean wannabes and they think that they will stand out if they dress such that they don't look like Singaporeans.

Surprisingly, there are MORE MALE wannabes than females and I admit, I tend to stereotype against people like these, classifying them under the same roof as 'C'. I try not to associate with any as much as I can and of course, don't follow their fashion styles because I don't want to be mistaken for a C myself.

But after pondering for some time regarding what my mum said to me, I asked myself: hey, does it even matter?

It might not be wise to mimic any form of extreme dressing style, but is it worth putting away something you like, just because you're afraid of people mistaking you for something(or someone) you're not?

I'm not saying I'm terribly fond of Japanese or Korean styles; in fact I think those styles aren't always compatible with the average Singaporean female. Consequently, local girls who sport those Japanese or Korean styles may end up looking like "posers", when in actual fact they had no such intention.

On the other hand, to everyone else around me, I might very well be viewed as one of these "wannabes" too! See, I'm wearing everything that is totally unrelated to Cs because I don't want to look like one. I'm usually wearing just a pair of jeans, a tee-shirt, my headset and cuffs because I love the feeling of seeming different. Certain observers may speculate that I dress this way because I'm not proud of my roots, and don't wish to look like a normal "Asian"?

I'll be the first to admit that at times I find myself wondering if I could be of another race; something other than Chinese. Perhaps that's what I like so much about those "pieces of cloth" I hoard in my closet.

One thing i probably regret the most is my poor command of Mandarin. How can I, a Singaporean - no, a CHINESE SINGAPOREAN - NOT be able to speak fluent Mandarin? It might have been the inherent dislike i had for the language. Who knows? =x

Even I don't have the answer to that. Illogical as it may sound, I might actually have disliked Mandarin due to the aversion i felt towards Cs. Come to think of it, I don't really like the idea of despising my own kind, my own race. After all, they're no different from me and they can choose to behave/dress/carry themselves howsoever they choose to, right?

Plus, if you think about it, some of them are, in a sense, better than those like me because they speak Mandarin and hold on to their traditions whereas we sometimes take them for granted.

There are others out there who speak Mandarin at home and yet speak English outside of it. People like Chernyu, YUANTING or Weichan are good examples of such people, but I most certainly do NOT classify them as Cs! It can however be said that most of us (with the exception of Weichan I think) have abandoned some of our Chinese culture and drifted towards western influence because of say, peer pressure? Or the media?

Ok I'm crapping a lot. My brain's kinda dead today, had to wake up really early and stuff and hey, I got my knife set yo ;)

Don't mess with me or I might just test it out on you :D Just kidding! XD

Oh doh, I'm starting to lose interest in my blog again so I haven't been updating regularly. Anyway, it almost feels like a times up for the hols and boy, I've heard so many people say that this is their best holiday ever. Well, I know that my hols were properly used ;)

There's been lots of happenings during my hols and they were mainly baking and cooking to grip hold of my hidden interest ( hahahahhaaha ) and now that I know I have it somewhere, I think I might be able to at least pass my next sem's kitchen practicum or whatever that is.

Anyway, what's there not to like when you can create your own favourite food out of scraps of weird stuff?

Apart from the cooking, there's also exercising of course. Me and weichan and maria and gang (once :X ) went to blade and I swan with weichan and blahblah. Exercising really makes me feel good heh. Like what clement always say, falling down feels great. hahaha.

Oh wells, the end is coming like it always does so... At least it was made good use of! :D

AND!

WEICHAN'S GOING TO BATAM NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! My weichan!!! If I hear anything about her friends not treating her well.... I'D SMASH ALL OF THEM!

I've been neglecting my blog for so long I see! The past few days have been pretty fun and I'm enjoying my time off for quite a bit.

However, IT'S COMING TO AN END NO!!!

I can't believe it's ending so soon, yet I don't entirely regret anything I did during this break because it's been pretty fruitful. It feels so different from the previous holiday though! I used to wish that I was back in school cause hols were just plain boring.

Not anymore ;)

Anyway, I have to settle my cooking shoes soon so I'm going to meet the rest of the gang to do them together, and then consider whether I'd like to attend weishun's church event. It sounds pretty inspiring by the way weishun told me bout it. If there's nothing on I'd go over heh.

Guys I miss ALL of you. I feel so lazy to upload the 43984029384029 pictures I have in the phone which I have collected for this main purpose but whatever. You guys would see it anyway.

Heh. Thanks to the 'smart' technology by LG, it's so hard to transfer stuff into my comp that I just gave up.

Bleh. I still miss my kimono boy ):

Today was yet another extraordinary day and I must say, my holidays did not go to waste. I think this is the ONLY fruitful holiday I've ever had because I've totally learnt to make use of this extra time to learn and do things that are more productive rather than the usual eat, play, shop, game.

It's totally unusual of me to spend my holidays this way, if you've known me long enough. The previous me would just spend her time playing or pooling if there are excess days and scream and game when she isn't allowed to go out! Looking back at this, I find myself so useless last time. Thank goodness God gave me a chance to start anew(:

Also, thank God that there's someone by the name of GILES LIM who was sent to help me and bring me to the right track! :D Thank you giles ;) I love you!

I guess it's never to late to learn something like that. You guys should do it too!

Whatever. I made laksa today and it was so fab! The taste of the soup was DEFINITELY there, except for the ingredients such as prawn and that taupok thing. The prawn has got that disgusting seafood taste in it which sucks, and the taupok didn't quite absorb the laksa gravy well. The dish itself needed loads of preparation, which was quite a hassle, but the end product was definitely worth the time and effort! Me and weichan couldn't stop saying:

This is SO good.

It is :D I can't wait for my parents to try it tonight like, now or something cause I made extra for dinner! I wonder what they'd say and if they're all positive, the next audience I want to target is none other than giles lim and his family ;) They always give me so much support!

Such a sweet family (:

PS: Boy in kimono, I miss you!

The holidays seem to pass pretty quickly and I must say, aren't they just great!

Holidays = I'm free = Get to see Giles more = Get to have fun with friends = Get to have fun with weichan = Get to learn some other cooking stuff = FUN!

Hahahhaa yeap, I can't do those long equations but hey, I definitely know an equation as hard as that one!

Freetime = Holidays - (Weichan + Friends + Cooking)

Therefore, we can conclude that,

Freetime = GILES! ♥

Hahahaha what a loser to come up with something like that!

Anyway, yesterday I had an excellent day! I spent the time with giles and celebrated his bro's and sis' and grandmama's birthday altogether! Also, they wanted to celebrate the grandmama's and grandpapa's wedding anniversary so it was an altogether thing! Since I can't exactly write chinese and come up with some nice.. Things to write on a card, I decided to cook! :D

I made sambal prawns!

Bad part : I forgot to add Rice vinegar.

Oh doh.

It turned out pretty well still actually! Loads of people liked the sauce but come to think about it, all I did was just fry the prawns into the sambal. Which means...

I CHEATED!

I should've made the sambal myself! See see there you go. Another thing to be added on the list soon!

Come to think of it, my list is overflooding with things to do. Not that it's impossible to do, I just have to work towards them hahaha. One step at the time!

Yadayada, yesterday was such great fun with giles and all that I can't even wish for more cause I think god'll punish me for asking too much!

I love you giles :D

And today, I was kinda disappointed with a bit of everything. The terrible storm clouds, that I assume was blown away to somewhere like Indonesia, still invaded the skies of Singapore and punished all of us with a heavy downpour!

I know most of you people think it's a blessing but NO! Sleeping is a total waste of time.

Me and weichan went to the beach and was hit by the gentle drops of water. When we went to mac, oh doh. It poured like no body's business! Dear god, why are you so evil! We just wanted to keep fit!!

Not that we're not. HAHA. Weichan is in no condition to exercise!

We got back home and did lame stuff cause we were just tooooo bored and Maria couldn't make it yadayada.

Sigh. Let's get back to business!

Next stop : Giles lim!

Yesterday's DnD wasn't the most exciting event ever but hey, at least it gave me a chance to be girly!

Look at my pretty weichan :D

Girly me. I guess I'll look like this once in a full moon. I look so evil and black!

Weichan took this shot of me. So nice :D

There you go. A picture of us. She's really happy! :D

Now is the moment all of you have been waiting for...

FOOD!

There you go piggy, this is the laksa pesto! It was very VERY delicious. I'd love to have a whole stack of them! :D

I know this picture is badly taken but these are the stuffs I ate! Not too bad, but nothing as compared to the laksa!

The chocolate fondue calling out to me..

Fondue stuff! These aren't mine, they're weichan's! I don't eat that thing!

Cakes!!

:D The small brown ball has mango in it! Really great(:

Ok that's all hihibyebye!

PS: My pig's the greatest!

WARNING: This post contains CHERNYU, MARIA, WEISHUN, WEICHAN and of course, GILES!

Hey guys. The past few days have really been awesome and I totally didn't have the time to blog but it doesn't matter cause I'm doing it now!

Lets see, lets start with thursday.

Headed out with the fantastic four and weichan to find some nice dresses for weichan so that she can totally knock everyone out at the D&D. She thinks I'm kidding, but I mean LOOK AT MY FACE.

DO I KID?!

Ok fine sometimes.

OK FINE ALL THE TIME.

But this time I'm serious! I really want her to knock everyone out and then she'll have so many suitors that I'm going to sit at one corner with giles and the fantastic four at one panel and go like,

A: This isn't so bad.
G: Hmmm...
M: WHAT. He looks like crap!
CY: Why, cause he doesn't look too old for your taste?
M: Shut up.
WS: He's okay la.

Kind of thing you know? I can totally IMAGINE it! :D Ok fine I shall not talk about this further.

So we had a fun time searching for her dress and found 3 but uh, they weren't so special, especially the first and the third. The second one was a Zara one but I thought it was normal and the rest thought it looked great. Oh wells.

And so, chernyu made a comment that my blog's boring cause I go like, piggy this piggy that. I won't stop the whole piggy thing, but I'll just blog about MY FANTASTIC FOUR so that you guys can just shut up about it hahahhaa.

Hi chernyu hi maria hi weishun.

THERE IT'S DONE :D

Ok whatever.

I ate dinner at LJS with weishun and weichan and we did a whole lot of catching up, except that I was the one doing the talking mostly heh! I haven't had the chance to talk to weishun like that for a longlong time man.

Oh and maria and chernyu and ME were so nice to get weishun a tongue uhm, thing, for him to replacing his thing with so that he can go to school without it being too obvious. I hope you're touched weishun! Thank maria cause it was her idea(: We all love you ( as a friend :D ) HAHAHAHHAA!

I think I did cooking on friday yesyes with weichan and I made that chicken saute thing so I can cancel if off my list! :D I had comments such as...

MOM: Nicenice!
Giles: This is excellent!
Nick: It's nice.
Dad: Ok la.
Grandma: NICE TO EAT!
Uncle: Not bad not bad!
Auntie: You add cheese is it?

Hahahha whoohoo I feel good ;) Thanks weichan :D

I spent my day with giles yesterday as usual, and we watched THE ILLUSIONIST and SHE'S THE MAN. I know they're old shows but hey, they are really good! The illusionist confused me abit at first but it was great, and amanda bynes is totally hot hahahahhahaa.

Whatever.

Then we watched Sleepless Town, this musical thing, and boy, can the lead really sing! She's only 13 and her voice is like...

WOW. I can't seem to find a word for it.

Check them out man. Goggle SLEEPLESS TOWN and see for yourselves!

`297

2009-03-02T20:22:00.005+08:00

Today went by quite quickly and smoothly with weichan. We spent the morning in parkway, searching for our ingredients to cook the dish, EGGPLANT AND RICE. Yes that's right! If any of you noticed at my list of 'things to do' at the left hand side, it USED to say something like,

Learn to cook ______ with Weichan.

Do you remember that? Hahahaa that was cause I wanted to learn it for Giles because he simply loves it! :D However, the looks isn't THAT appealing though. It looked a bit like cake but nothing to hold it together so it's crumbly and well, unsightly! I kinda liked the mince pork's taste cause it's quite fragrant and filled with lots and lots of spices! :D

And I'm starting to think that I kinda like onions. NO!!!

Anyway, later that day, we spent our time watching juno and playing around with makeup for the next biggest event, the D&D on 11th of March. I mean, it's not like I have to look totally fab on that day cause I'm already attached and NOT looking for another, but my dear Weichan must look stunning and be THE MOST prettiest girl in the D&D that she'll totally knock out at least 9/10 of the people there! Hahaha and then some guy with 430948203948023984 great qualities will hook her up and then they'll fall in love and...

Wow the picture is AMAZING. And I remember what soonhwee said.

You should dress like an Ahma so that it'll give Weichan this BIG contrast so that she'll look prettier than ever.

Darn right his words are! But it's a pity, I won't be dressed LIKE an ahma, but I'll try to look less stunning ok. AHAHHAA you know I'm talking as if I've always been stunning.

Whatever.

Our makeup was eh, quite a success I guess, with me and my fantastic art. I took the opportunity to draw further and I kinda looked like something like this:

SEE THAT. Batman's ultimate uh, assistant, Robin! I looked just like his weird eyepatch thing. Me and weichan had a very good laugh because it was just pure retarded-ness and then the retarded-ness got worse when I took my makeup off ohmygod. The entire thing smudged, making me look kinda like this:

Except that I'm not so cute, not so fat, not so furry and DEFINITELY not with claws and black ears!

That picture's pretty cute actually. The eyes are visible! Or are they fake?

Ok beat that. I am terribly beat and tomorrow's going to be one full day of 'stay-at-home-and-rot' or hanging out with timmy for quite a bit.

Yawn yawn I miss doing primary school maths!

`296

2009-03-01T19:36:00.005+08:00

The past few days were amazing. I'm starting to feel that I'm getting the holiday mood and soon, I might not be able to get it off!

Lets start with Thursday! :D

I had a great 'blade' with clement, chernyu, maria and weichan and god, it was raining so heavily every now and then that we hardly even got to blade at all! ): It was a great pity, because clement, maria and weichan rented their blades for 25 bucks and they only bladed for the most, 2 hours! Thank goodness I have my own, though it's old and torn and broken but HEY, 25 BUCKS IS A BIG DEAL.

I hope the next time we blade it'll be a bright, sunny day! :D

Friday was with Giles(: As usual, Giles' day is always the best day but you guys would go:

YAYAYAYYA, I can't hear you talking now - Get outta my head by Ashlee Simpson.

I think it's something like that hahaha. I'm currently hooked onto that song and I think it's quite catchy and Ashlee Simpson IS quite hot!

Back to the topic.

Saturday was the star gazing day BUT due to the bad weather, we didn't have the chance to do that! ): It's a big big big pity cause I was so looking forward to it!!

WHICH PROVES MY POINT.

Whatever amanda looks forward to, it always screws up ): I'll just do it at Giles' place! Blessing in disguise heh ;)

Which reminds me of something stupid that happened on Saturday! There was this man who wanted to ask this question to the panels or something, so he walked to the microphone. The microphone stand wasn't adjusted properly, so the mic fell to the bottom due to the weight, bringing up the end of the stand. It's kinda like that Seesaw thing or how you spell that you know? One heavy person sit at one end and a light one at another. The heavy one drops. You get the idea.

So then, he MISTOOK the end of the stand for the mic and....

HE SPOKE RIGHT THROUGH IT.

Nevermind. Common mistake. But to make things worse, he started TAPPING IT to test the 'volume'.

HOLY CRAP NOW THAT'S FUNNY!!

I couldn't stop laughing and Giles had to shut me up a bit cause for some reason, hardly anyone laughed so I had to stop):

If Giles weren't there, I would have seriously went like, HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

God, I crack myself up.

Anyway, back to story! :D We had some fab dinner on that day (it was provided FREE! Call me a cheapo or an auntie I don't care, because they had SIEW MAI!! :D Hi trev) and I felt soooo contented(:

Anyday with Giles contents me! :D

Some random pictures that I took(:

Giles' Valentines' day present to me(: It's Strawberry Cheesecake! Pity I didn't take a well enough picture for this!

Terrible, bad weather brewing.

Through the eyes of my Devil.
Ps: enlarge the picture. My ipod is so damn dirty!!

Pine tree. See Chernyu! I told you there are pine trees in Singapore! I couldn't get a closer shot cause the owner was there):

And your long awaited, PICTURE OF THE DAY! :D

For my dear giles, I love you, so so much(:
Ps: Thanks to mentos and the idea from Kristine in Flickr!

2009-02-28T13:48:00.002+08:00

MUHAHAHHAHAHA I got giles to do the tests and he said it was ALMOST accurate muhahahahha.

SEE GUYS THIS MEANS ALL OF YOU HAD BETTER TRY IT OUT AND BLOG THEM SO THAT AMANDA CAN READ THEM! :D

Here's his! :D

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

`294

2009-02-27T22:52:00.006+08:00

Oh my god. I came across this amazing quiz that Jinting sent me on facebook that I HAVE to put it here, and not facebook because...

IT'S SO BLOODY ACCURATE I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

Look at this baby!

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

Hahahhaa this is sooo right. No denials.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

HAHA! Right right right!! Not like maria. :D

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

EXACTLY.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

EXACTLY TIMES 2!

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.]

:D

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

Lol this might be a bit early for me to know but a steady income is a MUST!

How do you view success:

Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.

Oh my god. Definitely.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Awww true): But mine is not exactly wearing. Oh wells.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

HAHAHAHA I am very sure a lot of people would go like, MATURE?! And timmy would be like GOOD ADVICE?! Hahahhaa what la. It's true! Except for the mature part!

Please try it at : http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

It's bloody awesome.

Here is the analysis:

You are a very serious person. You tend to be quiet and well behaved, and you don't have a great deal of self-confidence. You prefer to be alone rather than with friends and that could make you a little less interesting to certain types of guys. You are very attractive in an individual kind of way, and this means it can take people a little while to get to like you. [ Hahaha uh, Maria and Weichan might wanna protest over this part ]
You don't really care about other people's feelings. You do things the way you want and usually think only about yourself. You are easy-going and love to have fun, but you can be irresponsible as well. You are not keen on serious discussions because they can make you remember that life isn't always about parties. [ Very bad thing indeed. Learnt it from the one that starts with A. But changing or changed! Especially on the serious discussion thing :D ]
You are a bright, cheerful and bubbly person. You are thoughtful and considerate, and like to have fun. Everybody feels comfortable around you because of your pleasant nature. When you walk into a room, people's eyes are likely to be drawn to you because of your charm. [ hahahhaa this is not for me to judge! ]
Guys see you as being a thinker and a careful person. They will be really attracted to this quality in you, but you need to learn to speak your mind, otherwise people will find you too shy and quiet. Learn to relax and lighten up--it's okay to have fun sometimes. When you learn to develop your fun-loving side, guys are going to flock to your side. [ Are they really? I think I'm quite relax already la hahaha ]
Your boyfriend believes that you are a strong and independent person. Your confidence and cheerfulness make you an attractive person to be around, but sometimes you need to pay more attention to what other people, including your boyfriend, are thinking. [ Aww. Giles I'll pay more attention to you ;) ]

http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test81.aspx

Here is the analysis:

You desire a love that will last forever. You are quite serious about finding this type of love, and that's why you think carefully about the men that you meet before deciding whether you could really love them. You don't just develop a crush on someone overnight: you look at a person's personality and other aspects of their life before deciding to form an attachment. If a guy doesn't meet your expectations, you would rather be alone. Your love has to be perfect. Be careful though, you could be missing out on some worthy relationships because your standards are so high. [ Giles fits everything ;) ]

http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test80.aspx?q=b

Kind and Gentle

Your kindness is your charm - you are also gentle and sweet. Everybody likes to be around people with your personality. Like a psychologist, people like to talk to you to discuss their problems because you are proper and discrete, as well as confident. You look mature and people respect you. People with this kind of character are few and far between.

[ I wonder if I'm as good as they say!]

Piggy if you try it, post it in my blog please! :D To public or not ;)

I know I've changed my blogskin and already, my cousin have been protesting to put pikachu back in action. And sorry for the delay of the post, cause I intended to do it immediately after changing my blogskin but I was at giles' place and all so.

C'mon Timmy ( and others who think pikachu should get back in action ), pikachu's tired already and even I, the owner, feels kinda bored by the skin and all you know? I know the current skin isn't the best skin on earth but I really like the layout and all cause it's so plain and simple and best of all, neat.

What can I say, I'm a neat person *shrugs*

Anyway, I'm so sorry cousin, but I might not be changing it back to pikachu cause I want to be motivated to continue blogging this shit hahahaha. I mean, when I stare at my blog I'd go, yawn. Why does it look the same):

Given the choice, I'd go for other pokemon skins but the rest sucks, trust me.

I've even tried to get away from my blog by making wordpress accounts, livejournals but god. Do you know how complicated those things are?! The skins are ultimate killers. Blogger's the most user friendly.

And for crying out loud, LIVEJOURNAL! C'mon, don't be so bloody petty man! What's with the 'create livejournal account to comment' shit huh? You just wanna increase the number of users! What's the point of having lots of users to sign up just to comment and not use it?!

Gees.

And I was also thinking, that since it's my holidays, I'll have enough time to change that weird-girl-with-the-camera-and-all picture into pictures of ME, giles and friends! :D See that'll be nice won't it! :D

Depends on whether I'll just like, you know. Get the move on!

Anyway, this is temporary ok. If lots of people insists that pikachu is still a better character than that photo girl, alrights you guys win, I'll take this off! Hahahahhahaa.

Oh and, I haven't got the chance to try this.

Hi all. This is amanda speaking. Bye! :O

Ok I just wanted to see the design. Sigh, I'm going to miss my yellow buddy):

Yawns. Good morning world. I had quite a good satisfying sleep last night and I must say, I thought I slept till 9 when my phone vibrated and I realised...

NO. It's still 7.23?!

Gees. I think my body clock is so totally screwed that I can't seem to wake up at the time I really WANT to wake up.

Doesn't matter, at least I had a good... 8 hours of sleep?

Today's a good day I believe(: I'm going to go to school later to pay for my kitchen stuff like knives and other stuffs and then head down to orchard to have a goooood break with my dear piggy(:

Half of me feels kinda guilty cause I still think that I should be studying and all since my exams are around the corner but I reallyreallyreallyreally want a break! ):

There I go again, just like what nerds always say,' STUDYSTUDYSTUDYSTUDY'
'AAAAAAAA'

I want my As):

Yeahyeahwhatever. I just had a small read on this 13 year old boy being a father and I must say, I think his girlfriend can be like, his mom cause he looks so bloody young.

But it's their business so I prolly shouldn't interfere no?

Just wishing him alll the best and etcetcetc.

I kinda feel like changing my blogskin too, cause it's toooo boring. Maybe that's the reason to why I'm not blogging everyday now hmmmm.

No wait, it's cause of my exams.

rantrantrantbyebye!

I spent the day with piggy and we watched movies and Heroes 3 woot! We also made roses for my mom, his parents and siblings and and and for himself HAHAHAHA. I know, what the hell but cause I couldn't have done it on my own! It's OUR presents to ourselves then (: It was an amazing day, but not as amazing as wednesday :D

I love you piggy, so so much. It doesn't really matter what I go through, as long as you're happy, I be happy too.

Congrats in your postage to TP! I'm so super proud of you and I'm really happy cause I'm going to have a playmate in TP!

I totally can't imagine this hahahaha. But the thing is, next sem I'd be in the kitchen and all.. I'm hoping that I have time to spend with my dear timmy, bringing him around school, feasting on maggi ETC!

Today is one of the best days in my life hahahahaha. After wishing for timmy to get into Tp for so long AND!

MY VIDEO WAS A BIG SUCCESS! Everyone loved it and when they laughed at it I felt so good(: Thanks guys! That really motivated me hahahaha.

PS: I still love you piggy ;)

Since my dear piggy asked me to update, I will! :D

Recently I've been slightly busy a bit, rushing on projects and doing presentations etc. Tests, too, are coming and I've gone through some and hey!

I'm not doing so bad ok ;)

I'm feeling pretty good actually, and CNY has been a huge break that I don't really deserve! I was down with econs during that period of time and I couldn't do it cause of the tired-ness and busy-ness etc.

Anyway, I spent my whole CNY gambling I think. Hahaha, I know it's not over BUT. I did gamble and that's a fact!

A cheapo person gambled! Can you believe it!

I played 10cents per game ;) Whooot! If I didn't remember wrongly, I prolly only won like, 50 cents throughout all the 3 days of mahjong.

Now THAT'S a wow wow!

NOT.

I'm actually quite excited bout saturday cause I get to see my dear piggy and spend CNY with him AND my uncles and aunties! It'll be his first time meeting my fellow relatives so I kinda hope that everyone'll get along! Then again, I BET they will ;) Giles is too nice to hate!

We've planned on the menu for that day BECAUSE.

I am poisoning the lot.
NOT!

I'm going to be the one cooking and Giles will be doing soup, which is soooo super nice of him ;) Everyone is just going to LOOOOVE my giles wahhahahaha! Obviously not more than I do heh ;)

PS: Everyone STOP looking at my facebook pictures cause they stink. I can't believe that one of my bro's friends thought I was my bro, only wearing a wig.

For more information on how I look like, eg: My mom, click HERE

Another PS: I hope my dear Giles gets well soon! Go away you stinkin' bug!

Since my dear cousin requested for a nice new update, HERE IT IS!

Tada!

Update's over. Ciao~!

Ok Cousin don't kill me. Recently I've been looking for fault-free phone that I can change to because my current phone, the W910i has been dying on me A LOT.

Seriously, I took the effort to count how many times it hung to day and it was amazing.

I bet none of you can even guess it!

It's 26 times. TWENTY SIX!

Seriously, with a phone like that, why did it even appear in the market? I've heard TONS of complains bout this phone which kinda made me wonder if those Sony Ericsson people actually did their quality control. The phone doesn't last more than 6 months WITHOUT hanging like, TWICE or something.

People, if you're thinking of getting this phone, I'd rather you guys get an army phone or something.

Hang on, my phone hung again! Amazing. That makes it a friggin 27 times. Oh. Hung again. 28! 29. 30.

Look at these:

Defective phone
Automatic Shutdown
Phone working below expectations
Phone restarting
Faulty New phone
Restarting Phone

If you're wondering if any phone has normal problems such as these, THINK AGAIN. If you still don't believe me, TRY IT.

I DARE YOU TO GET ONE TO TRY IT.

Seriously, this is the most ridiculous phone I've ever seen. The teacher mentioned to us about quality control today and how some phone companies throw their phone about and see if it's still in working condition etc.

Guess what. I think SE didnt even do a SHIT before they launched this retarded phone!

Anyway, forget the phone. I am never getting Sony Ericsson again BECAUSE their services suck too. Therefore, I am NEVER, going to get sony phones no matter how cheap, good looking or filled with 493840923840294820948 functions to play with.

NEVER.

Apart from Sony, I've heard loads of things about others. This kind of annoys me cause I want a nice fault-free phone, which is almost impossible. I've gone through phone lists over and over, reading comments and etc. Giles also told me it's almost impossible because opinions given in the forumns are normally people who faced problems and those that do not do not even post it because, why do they bother anyway!

So after like, really really long, I've finally decided on this phone.
The LG Secret KF750.

It's not the newest phone in town, but so far, I've hardly heard complaints bout this one AND, the functions are resonably good. Also, the price is nice and cheap :D Hah! Beat that, I'm a cheapo!

I just hope when I get this phone, it won't die on me like my sony.

Please, let it live): I'll take care of it better hahahahaha.

Spider Besider - Secret and Whisper

A wish for all (Wish for all)
To blossom and to change
Mystical (Mystical)
Ancient, and forgotten ways

Iachoku, Iachoku
I'm not as sweet as I've lead you
Iachoku, Iachoku
With spiders beside her

I heard you speak
Of ancient cherry blossoms
And I ask you to take me there
A wish for all
I ask you to take me there
And I wish for all

Iachoku, Iachoku
I'm not as sweet as I've lead you
Iachoku, Iachoku
With spiders beside her
(Spiders beside her)

Tradition meets with ocean eyes
And sea monsters
Are in the tide
And there's a spider besider

Iachoku, Iachoku
I'm not as sweet as I've lead you
Iachoku, Iachoku
With spiders beside her

Iachoku
(Sunrise is slowly calling you)
Iachoku
(Eight arms and legs to hold onto)
Iachoku
(Her ways combining)
With spiders beside her
(Old and new)
A spider beside her

I will decode this song when I have the time(:

I have consulted my itunes on some questions that have been bothering me for quite a bit!

A: Is chernyu stupid?
itunes: Head over heels.
YT: Ask again!
itunes: Bless the broken road!

A: Does Yuanting suck?
itunes: Smack!

A: Am I smarter than the two of them? ;)
itunes: Mean thoughts and cheap shots.
YT: HAHAHHAHAHAHA

A: I love giles more than he loves me right!
itunes: Overloved!
A: Whoa!

A: Maria is fat right?
itunes: Lyrical lies!
A: Holy.

YT: Is amanda stupid?
itunes: I guess you're right!
A: OI!!

A: YT has a pea brain.
itunes: You don't know.
A: Seems like my itunes is defending her!

Ok Q&A done! I'm off to check out the Ice Cream phone!

Two down, 3 more to go?

The presentations and reports are clearing! It's something seriously worth celebrating since we've been slogging since uh... many months :D

I wonder, how can we celebrate this! (I know I'm not supposed to talk about it now but HEY, it's going to come SOON right! :D )

Here's a list that I prolly will do after these projects are DONE!

1. Make up for Maria's birthday and christmas by inviting her to my place along with CY, Trev, WS, WC and of course, Giles(:, to have fun and teach my poor Maria how to own CY in HALO2.

2. Go to Giles' school again and of course, to his place and movies! :D

3. Make it up to Weichan's birthday and have a pleasant meal with Giles at Thai Accent!

4. Lets eat Astones with Giles(:

5. Take CY, WS and Maria to pool! (I'm not too sure who would win that's why it must happen!)

6. Join that blading CCA that our school offers!

7. Take up Muaythai with Maria and CY for ONE DAY.

8. PLAY BADMINTON!

9. Blading day with uh, Giles, WC, WS, YT and CY (If they are willing to. I know Giles might not want to cause he has school and all etc etc. See how(: )

10. GO TO HAJI LANE?! Hello! It has been there for AGES and I've never been to that wonderful place!

Hah! I actually struggled to come up with just 10 cause for some reason, I KNOW there are more out there but I kinda forgot HAH! Doesn't matter, I'll let it grow in my head and uh, remember to take it down somewhere...

Oh whatever. Holidays are for FUN! :D

PS : Banana man is laughing at the sneezing panda again!

2009-01-10T10:42:00.003+08:00

Hello world, here I am sitting waiting for giles and my mind filled with what projects I'm supposed to finish. I should really relax a little. I'm starting to think that I might be reverting to my old self - NERD!

Oh my god that word makes me remember the times when I had my fringe high up, nerdy specs and of course, the tucked in shirt and high cut skirt.

Gees, how did I manage to LIVE with all that kind of thing when I was younger? Especially the specs, I look like a total geek!

Which then again reminds me of my old pal, whom I take as non-existant now. She may still be alive somewhere doing something I have no clue of, but somehow I want to know what she has been up to, to make sure life is doing ok for her. She may have been horribly mean to me in the past but.. What can I say? If she didnt put me in those situations, I won't be here the way I am now.

Which then again ALSO reminds me of my old group of friends who have also disappeared from my life. All 6 of us used to be so close, great friends before.. Lots of things happened. The last girl from that group is also lost, due to some non-important, childish matters. We're all human, I can't even complain.

I stand before all of you now, in the way I am now, and I feel so confident and great that I don't regret anything I've done in the past. How I've 'hurt' my pal in the 'olden days' are no longer haunting me, and parting from the rest of them made it seem like I'm up to building my own territory. I've made new friends, like weichan and chernyu and even yuanting, who has taught me lots of things and Giles by my side. I don't need nor care who I've lost and I only make the effort to cherish who really cares about me.

2009-01-06T23:00:00.002+08:00

Today was awesome day for me(: It was kinda like a small birthday celebration with my parents and giles, only thing was that giles gave me a birthday gift, which I love SO much! Thank you boyfriend! I'll make sure our future home will end up just like that ;)

I love you, oh so much<3

Next stop, FRIDAY!

PS: Leow was awesome. We've known each other for so long and he thought my birthday was today. I don't even know if I should laugh or be sad about it.

2009-01-04T12:11:00.003+08:00

I'm halfway through the powerpoint slides for my food hygiene subject when I've decided to take a little break out of no where and read the second book of SOT when I read something truely disturbing that I've decided to put it down for a bit.

I thank god Terry Goodkind doesn't write it in full detail.

Anyway, I haven't much to do now even though I know my project is just Alt Tab away. I've been thinking about that scene in the book that got me the creeps. I can't/don't want to imagine how it's like since she didn't discribe it so explicitly but my mind keeps wondering off on it's on.

Ok mind shut.

Oh I remember. Yesterday was yuanting's birthday and I didn't attend her party. I'm terribly sorry yt! I hope the party went well yesterday! Belated Happy Birthday to you LOL. I know I owe you christmas presents AND birthday presents. :X

Giles had been really nice to make time for me on Fri and Sat and especially Sat, since he had to come over instead. Thank you giles(: We finished Prison Break season 1 ( I know that's really slow of us ) and I CAN'T believe that it stopped just.. THERE.

Hey, to those who've watched it even before season 2 came out, did you guys die from waiting?

It's like, just.. there. If season 2 wasn't out, I would've killed myself. Like, after they've escaped and the police were almost catching up on them then... WHAT?!

Doh. Anyway, we touched on heros after that since giles hasn't watched it before and the ultimate fan of Heros aka me aka amanda was trying so hard not to say anything so that I wouldn't spoil the story :X It's so super nice ok, and the cheerleader's hot yo!

I love you giles(: You always make me happy whee!

Hello world(: Amanda has finally been revived and is a happy girl now, because Giles is back to Singapore, unharmed and safe! :D

Also, I'd like to wish all of you out there:
HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!

I'm sorry I didn't send out replies back to those who have wished me and my family a happy new year because my smses are quite tight but that doesn't seem like a good excuse anyway! So I'm going to take the opportunity to wish it here to you guys, whether or not you read them x)

1. Wenjie :
Thanks for your uh, new year messages, since you sent two at two different times. Dude, you can save your messages by just sending one with the same message! :D Happy new year to you dude! You've been a great friend with all your silly-ness but study hard ( Please? You are a smart kid we all know that, just not making the effort!) and get the Zs you deserve! I'd hope to see that!

2. Anonymous - ****9973
Whoever that is.. I didnt save your number hahaha! And it's all chinese so uhh. Thanks anyway and a happy new year to you too!

3. Yanling
Whoa, thanks so much yanling! I thought you've forgotten me :X Anyway, a happy new year to you too! I wish you well in whatever you're doing right now(:

4. Catherine
Hey, thanks for the cute uh, picture of a happy new year tree or something! :D Anyway, it's been a while since I last saw you even though we live like, one street away LOL. Oh wells, wish you all the best in your studies and uhh, see you in Pets Society LOL! :D

5. Leon
Whoa, you're the last person I expected to get a message from! No wait, cross that. Second last, because someone more unexpected messaged! Anyway, I dont know if you're done with army but whatever it is, happy new year to you and your family and I hope your problems will be solved soon =/

6. Anonymous - ****2605
Sorry uh, didn't save your number too! :D happy new year to you too! :D

7. Xiling
OH BOY XILING I MISSED YOU <3 annoying =".=">

8. Weishun
Oh you joker x) I enjoyed your company in the last year and how I wished that the Fantastic Four can go back together to their old ways, since I've accepted 'the thing aka M----' back as a friend :D Happy new year to you and I still have your present with me ;D

9. Soonhweeeeeeeeeee
In case any of you don't know who he is, he's a new addition to my circle of friends. He's that guy in my jap tutorial, the stupidest looking one. Hope you guys know which it is! Anyway, happy new year to you too! Stop being so bochup and stop calling me barny! Most importantly, do your jap project and stop hanging around VE! That's the most no-life thing I've ever seen ok!

10. The least expected guy to sms me : Aikhai.
Right... I have no idea what to say to you. Same to you then..

11. Anonymous - ****1670
This person's a weird one. He/she sent the sms in an mms form filled with nothing but words. Anyway, happy new year to you too and man, I think you've sent it all wrong and you're going to be charged for all that mms you mass sent oO

12. Weeming
HAHA I know that sms and you edited it from the Christmas version! Anyway, happy new year to you and your family, especially chloe :D Thanks for tutoring me at like what, primary school and despite all your fruitless efforts, I got to where I am and haha! Thanks la ok? Just keep telling chloe who I am so that when she grows up, she'll see me as a hero wahahahahahhahaaha.

The only person missing from the list that wished me is GILES(: He isn't in the list cause he was the only one I replied to HAHAHAHHAHAHA. Don't be upset guys, he's my boyfriend and none of you can be compared to that :X

There are a few that I want to wish that are not in my list!

1. Mom
Hah you've been a nice mom la ok? Anyway, I appreciate what you've done for me, by allowing me to be with giles and to give me my own freedom and letting me learn on my own. It's not easy for a parent to make such a decision cause there's always a risk of it going wrong but I can assure you, you've made the right choice and be proud of it ( and me of course, for being a good kid ;) ) Ok whatever, I still owe you moneh! It'll be a happy new year for you :X

2. Dad
Hmmmm you've been fun and all, still not the kid of traditional dad that one has but I appreciate you treating me as an adult and letting me be with giles all the same! :D People out there, if you don't know, my dad has never said a word bout me and giles because he's belief is that,' If my results are good, going out and being with whoever I want doesn't matter.' Good way to think that way! :D Haha Happy new year! :D

3. Brother
Doh you suck I hate you bye. For some reason, sometimes you're extremely fun to play with and when I make you smile, I feel so happy that being stupid doesn't even matter cause I don't need to hide my face and my so-called pride anywhere cause it doesn't matter. But sometimes when you're angry and whatever I do just pisses you off, I feel like murdering you. Happy new year ok? Notice the word HAPPY.

4. Chernyu
Hah you fool, happy new year! This will be your best year because you can finally get into the kitchen like you've always wanted. We may not be in the same class even, so I wish you now all the best and do well and become an outstanding chef and go and visit the country of your dreams to learn 'the art of pasta' doh. You've been a great friend and I'll miss that! Happy new year to you and your family and PARAMORE FTW!

5. TIMOTHY
Wahahaha think I've forgotten you again right! This time you can't even complain cause you didnt send me an sms that required me to reply you ( if you did and I didn't reply, I know how you'd be like hahahahahhaa ) Anyway, you've been the greatest cousin on Earth! I knew guys are different wahahahhaa. Thanks for all the advice and lessons you've given me on life, and watered me when I was a little seed to maybe some plant with ROOTS. I know I haven't reached adult stage ok, thats why I'm still a root =.= I know that's what you wanted to hear! :D Hope you decoded your uh, weird Japanese fortune telling stick! :D Happy new year to you and your family and may you lead the happiest life ever led! :D

6. ~~Maria~~ Maira
I've been mean to you in the past and I'm terribly sorry because you have confused my own beliefs inside me. But I realised that if I were to accept it with an open heart, I would become a better person and at the same time, realise what kind of person you are. I'm glad I did and even though me and chernyu are super mean to you talking bout your bowl cut and your uh, fats :D We still treat you as a good friend! :D Happy Birthday to you, and happy new year to you! :D

PS: Don't forget my birthday on 8 Jan ;)

7. Weichan
Hello weichan, I don't know if you'll read this at all but still, happy new year to you! I don't know how good or bad I've been treating you and I always worry if I'm not treating you good enough because you're too important to me! :D I wish you a happy new year and of course, I hope your problems with anything, especially ____________, to subside and I want you to be extremely happy you hear me?! EXTREMELY! Anything in the way will DIE >=(

PS : I hope you know the presents I gave you were both from me and giles x)

8. Hejun
I totally remember how I got to know you in school and how foolish I've been to think that chernyu was you! I was such a total freak yet you've been so nice to me. Thank you(: You were always there to hear my blabberings and yadayada and you even confided me to some of your problems. I appreciate all you've done for me and I'm really happy that someone like you can choose to talk to me about your own problems! :D I am honoured, although I have no idea how to help you. Happy new year to you, and I hate to say this but, I hope you get all Zs for EVERY SUBJECT! :D

PS : Don't forget what you've promised me on the wedding and the 1k ;)

9. Trevor
Siew Mai! :D Since citybank times we've been good pals and I enjoyed your company very much! In fact, I still do but with our stupid timetables, we hardly get to meet up at all doh. But anyway, I hope we'll be able to keep in touch until like, forever because you're too nice a friend to lose! Happy new year dude :D I want my phoebo CD!

10. Bong
Be honoured you're here! I hate you and you're still here wahhahahhaa. Reason? Because you've helped me so much during my exams! :D Thank you so much for setting questions, helping me with my doubts. Happy new year to you(:

11. Clement
Aww clement ahahaha. Happy new year to you and you're one of the most problematic dude I ever had LOLOL. But never fear, amanda is here and she loves to help you wherever she can! :D I wish you all the best with _____ and your schoolwork! :D

12. EVERYONE OUT THERE.
My brain juice's all sucked up and I can't seem to remember my circle of friends haha! I wish you all the best this year and of course, do well in your exams, get your Zs, be a good man/woman in the future, and most importantly, be happy(: I'd love to see all of you smile! :D

Hahahhaa and after all these, a section to giles himself! :D

Dear Giles,
I know I replied your sms already but I want to say it again! :D Thank you for teaching me things from time management to money control cause it really helped me be a better person like I wished I would be(: You've been unconditionally kind and loving towards me and I'm so grateful to you and every other thing that brought us together(: I will promise to make this year an awesome one for you and most importantly,

I LOVE YOU! (:

Happy new year to you and your family! :D I want to see you so soon! :D

Love,
amanda(:

New year resolution

This is the kind of stupid thing I do every year and not fulfill everything cause I forget what I listed down in this stupid list but this time, I'm going to put it at the sidebar to remind myself! :D

*browse browse* For some reason, I didn't set my new year resolution for 2008! I can't find the record on my blog..

WHOOPSS! I actually missed it out wahahahhhaha. How silly of me!

Anyway, here goes!

1. Be good to my family.
2. Make giles the happiest man on earth!
3. Balance both family time and boyfriend time and friend time well!
4. Score at least 3 Zs!
5. Spend some quality time with my dear cousin Timmy x)
6. Make sure my room is super clean without any UNWANTED things around.
7. Create a bigger shelf or some sort to put my pokemon collection <3
8. Read read read! Improve my vocab please!
9. Treat weichan a lot a lot better(:
10. Go to haji lane. ( I keep hearing the awesome-ness of this place but WHAT IS IT!? )

I guess it's that simple. I don't even think I can cross out things like, 'be good to my family' cause I'll never know when I'm good to them and it's a long termed thing.

And I never want to cross out the 'make giles the happiest man on earth' cause I want it to last forever(:

Finally done with my long wordy post. I love you giles, and all of you out there(: Once again, happy new year!

PS to EVERYONE, the girl's birthday is coming! *hinthint*

OH NOT SAD ANYMORE! :D Giles is online whee!! :D

I feel as if I've abandoned this blog. Sorry pikachu, I made you wait!

Anyway, life's been good for me and all. I haven't actually rested since I've finished my exams and I'm finally feeling exhausted by all the events like shopping, friends, shopping, more shopping and of course, shopping. One thing that I don't even feel exhausted over is giles(: Yeah, I'm sure you expected me to say it.

Blah.

I have finally finished my christmas shopping on Sunday like, after a whole week of shopping for things all over the place, especially Orchard. I've concluded that Orchard is so NOT the place to shop in, really hard to find things that people might like and also fit that tight budget of yours. Still, going with giles to orchard never seems boring(: Heh!

Giles is going to malaysia on friday and I'm so going to miss him): I hope he eats more magi mee during that period of time cause I totally don't trust malaysian's food. No offence to those who are innocent, from those incidents that I've heard that have occured to his family from the staple bullet in bread, food poisoning and MORE food poisoning leading them close to death, I have totally declared to myself that:

I WILL NEVER EAT MALAYSIAN FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

I'm half serious bout this. I'm going to spend my days eating magi mee if I have to. Not buying white bread either cause of that constant fear of staple bullets.

I mean, why in the WORLD do they have staple bullets in their bread?! I thought a bread factory isn't mixed together with some office or something.

Urgh, lets not talk about Malaysia. It's driving me nuts!

2008-12-10T22:20:00.000+08:00

I had been meaning to post but doh, all the stuff and all just came up.

Anyway, my exams are finally over but that doesn't mean that my projects are!

I'm meeting giles tomorrow for a movie(: Finally, a well deserved break heh! He was soo nice okay! He gave me a santa throne chair in Pet Society ( yes yes I know it's gay ) and it's worth 2.5! Thanks piggy(:

My ultimate throne chair for the great elf(:

Me and giles, the outfit I gave him hehe!

This is actually a random picture of my bro spamming on 52 boxes ( more but he used them ) to open them up. He looks... uh huh. And he loves his look.

Like, right.

`269

2008-12-07T22:57:00.003+08:00

A post before sleeping.
Asleep at giles' place(:
I'm hidden behind haha(:
Met him at the bank. He's saying hi hahahhaha.

Watching the pink pet sleeeeep.

I love you giles(: Nights world.

2008-12-07T10:42:00.004+08:00

I spent the last 2 days with giles and THAT'S WHAT I CALL A BREATHER.

Hah. It was so fun(: We had a great meal on Friday at Waraku and then we went to window-shop for presents because giles forgot to bring his wallet! It was really cute seeing his reaction and all, cause it's his first time forgetting to bring it x)

Yesterday was another great day at his place and he cooked a scrumptious meal for all of us :D He made

6 beef steaks
6 lamb steaks ( mutton? )
salad(:
potatoes!
CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP

I must say, the cream of mushroom soup always ALWAYS appeals to me (: it's like, NOT CANNED. All made from a scratch(: too good to resist(:

Oh and obviously I helped out and guess which one I did, considering the fact that I cant cook(:

I did...

.
..
...
....
.....
......
.......
......
.....
....
...
..
.

THE STEAKS :D

Can you believe it?
Ok you can't. I'm a bad liar.

I did the potatoes and the salad LOL. Quite easy to guess right! hahahahaha. Ok I'm being stupid.

Anyway, I told giles bout pet society yesterday and he decided to join too! I am sooo happy(: look at the small screen shots :D

Met him on the road hehe(:

kiss :D

hug(:

I did this screenshot lots of time cause of the contrast between my own pet ( the white one ) and the background LOL. Forget it.

By the way, if you're wondering. Mine is the white one and giles' is the pink(:
AND.
I'm the male and he's the female(: Reason?

Because I choose the wrong sign =.=
( You know the male and female sign thing? The circle and the arrow or cross? Nevermind. )

And lastly!

I love you giles lim(:

So much for a breather. I just updated my faebook's shoutout like thing when I came across this weird thing.

It said that firstly, our pads are not degradable at all! Just like diapers omg. I didn't know that. And THEN it says something like this.

The Mooncup is a reusable menstrual cup around two inches long and made from soft silicone rubber.

uhh?

It is worn internally like a tampon but collects menstrual fluid rather than absorbing. Unlike tampons the Mooncup is not a disposable product, so you only need to buy one.The Mooncup will hold 30ml of fluid, which is roughly one third of the average total produced each period. A light seal is formed with your vaginal walls allowing your menstrual fluid to pass into the Mooncup without leakage or odour. You will probably find that you need to empty your Mooncup less frequently than you currently replace towels or tampons.

OMG. It actually COLLECTS and then YOU HAVE TO EMPTY IT. I'm not too sure if it's er, a good thing or not cause it might get a bit messy, especially in public toilets cause you have to like, empty and if it touches your hands, where are you going to wash it before coming out of the toilet?!

But it's a good idea though. Kudos to the person who came up with this!

Finally, a breather. I'm done with ONE of my projects, which is well.. GOOD of course, cause I'm overloaded with them so clearing even just ONE of them would mean.

HIP HIP HURRAH!

Then again, no time to celebrate because there are so many more due like MARKETING or CASE STUDY that I HAVEN'T DONE.

Yes, I dont think I'm going to have a good time sleeping these few days.

Anyway, everything's pretty much over I hope. I'm meeting Giles this saturday and today's presentation was not bad etc etc.

Thats all! :D

PS: I miss you giles lim! Where did you go):

I was doing my japanese presentation work when I read that the pokemon song, 'Pokemon ondo' was used in the dance too! So being curious and as a pokemon fan, I just HAD to know what it was so I searched for it in youtube and then! I came across this :D

Watch 6:00 carefully :D Pikachu never fails to crack me up :D Then as it progresses, it starts to get pretty lame...

And then the finale(:

Although it's stupid, it's kinda cute:D and the song's catchy!

Surprise!!

"Which To Bury; Us Or The Hatchet"

I think you know what I'm getting at
I find it so upsetting that
the memories that you select you keep the bad but the good you just forget

and even though I'm angry I can still say
I know my heart will break the day
when you peel out and drive away
I can't believe this happened

And all this time I never thought
that all we had would be all for naught

No, I don't hate you
don't want to fight you
know I'll always like you
but right now I just don't like you
No, I don't hate you
don't want to fight you
know I'll always like you
but right now I just don't like you
cause you took this too far

Make your decision and don't you dare think twice
go with your instincts along with some bad advice
this didn't turn out the way I thought it would at all
you blame me but some of this is still your fault

I tried to move you, but you just wouldn't budge
I tried to hold your hand but you'd rather hold your grudge
I think you know what I'm getting at
you said goodbye and I just don't want you regretting that

and wisdom always chooses
these black eyes and these bruises
over the heartache that they say
never completely goes away
(I just can't believe this happened
and one day we'll see this come around)

what happened to us
i heard that it's me we should blame
what happened to us
why didn't you stop me from turning out this way
and know that I don't hate you
and know that I don't want to fight you
and know that I'll always love you
but right now I just don't...

To the person who picked my poison.

I just got back from Giles' place and had a good shit because of all those fruits that I ate :D hehehe so satisfying :D

Basically, I just had a relaxing day reading a primary school like book while Giles does his work(: Good boy :D It was just so nice, I wished we had the whole day to just slack around(:

Wait, I'm the only one slacking.

Nevermind.

Anyway, I kinda screwed up my Comm skills 2 test. Like seriously.

Let me highlight in red and in a cute pikachu textbox on what I did.

I PUT THE CUSTOMER'S ADDRESS BEFORE MY OWN IN A FORMAL LETTER WRITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why am I telling the whole world right now? Because when the teacher HAPPENS to say something like,'I'm so disappointed with you all. One of you actually got the addresses mixed up!'

At least you guys know who to laugh at):

I'm not going to mention to you guys the whole process of thinking whether I got the order right but all I had was 80% of my brain thinking that the other person's address comes before mine and the last 20% remembering that I've seen it in my notes that it's the other way around.

Whatever.

ANYWAY, reason why I was inspired to write my lengthy posts again is cause I saw something one SOMEONE ELSES' BLOG which I was a bit.. shocked.

Okay, the main idea is that the girl and the guy are apart and this girl says something that the guy USED to say which was SUCH A JOKE that everyone was laughing about it. [ As in, they laughed at the guy for saying it ]

I just can't believe that the girl said it too. Coincidence or did she quote it from him?

MYSTERY.

[ I actually seriously doubt that she quoted it which means that.. THEY ARE FRIGGIN' MADE FOR ONE ANOTHER ]

I really HATE to admit this : One man's meat is another man's poison.

Spare me.

Hello everyone(: Today's been quite a day for me): I had a bad headache and I believe it's due to the hot weather.! How can my parents said it's like winter to them.?!

Or maybe it's just me. Am I falling ill.?! NOOOOO.!
-Drinks 43094702349802948 bottles of water-

Anyway, back to my week. The week's been quite an awesome one with a whole loadda fun filled activities heh. On top of my always-so-awesome boyfriend day ( whee :D ), I spent time with my old friend, weishun, and actually went for a CLASS BARBEQUE.

Whoa, now THAT'S amazing okay. I hardly attend such big gatherings.

- Friday -
I had classes as normal and after that, we met weishun and the fantastic four once again headed out in a mission to find the best food to snack on(: Weishun really wanted sushi but for some reason, it changed and we had it in cafe cartel. Awesome place, I actually had fish doh. Come to think of it, not as great as the salmon in Ichiban or the fish in Mahattan Fish Market or Fish&Co of course, but still enjoyable(:

You know, I THINK I'm eating more fish now! WHICH MEANS :D
I am going to be so smart whee :D
PLUS +
My ADHD wouldnt be so bad anymore :D

Whee(: So after that we've decided to head to the arcade and had some fun before going to Ikea, where the fun actually started hahaha. We were complete fools and also admiring what we'd like to have in the future and what kind of rooms we liked etc etc. We played at the toy section and after that, weishun fell in love with a bed bug plush and purchased it. We had hotdogs after that before leaving for Tampines again.

We separated there but boy, I do miss weishun. Fridays with weishun is always so fun haha.

After that, I went back home cause I needed to shit badly and after I shat and got ready again, I headed out to my bellydancing class. God, the class was terribly hard that I wondered if I'm in the right class at all. It's like, so advanced that I couldnt even do ONE.

I felt miserable I tell you):

My mom and I then headed to lavender and my dad picked us around and totally explored the whole of Pasir Ris before I actually got to Costa Sands. When we've finally reached ( more than half an hour of exploring ), I thanked them and called weichan and shuling had to direct me for more than 20 mins before I actually found the place and everyone greeted me ( nicely and not so nicely doh ).

The whole bbq was quite fun actually, except that all the sausages were eaten and I only had one, and I had to eat A LOT of fish cause that was one of the few that were left. I didnt eat the chicken wings cause my hands would get dirty and I don't like the feeling, especially when I'm outside hmmm.

I talked to the guys, mostly, cause the girls were all fleeing home right after they saw me ( cause it was late ) and I only got the chance to talk to two girls during the BBQ, cat and weichan. Of course, cat fled after that, leaving weichan behind lol. I had a good talk with the guys, especially ryan and clement and nevin etc, and I thanked chenghoong and clement for cooking for me cause I didn't dare/know how to :X

After the BBQ it was a whole disaster which I'm not going to mention cause it's not so happy hahahaha :D

- Saturday -

THE MOST ULTIMATE AWESOME DAY THAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK. I mean hey, I haven't seen Giles in SIX days okay.! It's almost like torture): BUT WELL :D It was awesome :D

I dropped by his place early in the morning and I wanted to do Mindice's present but wow, we all didnt have glue LOL so we had to shelf it to do it some other time when we've gotten the glue. After a while, we left to AMK hub ;)

The journal to AMK on the bus was kinda sweet :D You know, I kinda really like travelling on the bus with Giles cause it's so cosy(: Giles *heart*

I'm using *heart* cause when I use the 'lesser than' sign, it kinda screws up the HTML, so I'm just going to leave it as it is hahaha.

We had a great lunch at Ichiban :D He had his favourite stuff and I did too, except for the salmon, obviously cause I hate fish but for some reason, that salmon with egg tasted heavenly that I finished every last bit of it.! ( I think it must be cause Giles is there, which makes everything sweet :X ) He had his salmon too, but raw and uncooked ( I dont like that kind, CONFIRM ) and he knew me so well that he didnt even offer me any of that LOL :D

My pig :D

Then we watched Madagascar 2, which was a terribly funny show.! Of course, the first one was definitely better but hey, it's really a good show still.! ( not like some silly, BURN AFTER READING. sounds so good, but its just filled with a whole loadda bull ) I loved the grandma hahaha. She's so cool. I mean, being so old, she can still do kungfu.? Hahaha what a tough nut to crack x)

Also, I think the most weirdest part is that weird squirrel thing wanting the sacrifice. I think he just wanted the thrill of it. Dumb animal, but so cute :D

After the movie, we hung out for another short while before taking the bus back to his place ( WHEE :D ) and then sending me off again. Sigh, I hate separating with my pig):

I loved the day :D hahaha once we marry... Everyday would be a great day whee :D

- Sunday -

Which is today. Terribly boring day, only until around 6 before the fun started.

We had Katong Laksa today :D Which makes it 2 times for me this week since I had it too on thursday.

You know, the reason why I hate thursdays is cause it starts so late. 12pm. What the hell. And plus, if I wanna leave, I have to wake up at 10 and bathe to 11 and leave. Which means that if I wanna have lunch, I have to wake up at 9.30 and bathe till 10.30 and have lunch.

WHICH ALSO MEANS THAT AFTER HAVING A 10.30 LUNCH, I'LL GET HUNGRY AT AROUND 2.

Whats the bloody point.! Doh. So I like to go to school early and eat with someone or something. But yuanting wanted to have katong laksa so we did lol =.= I got hungry in the end but it doesn't matter...

Anyway, it was my bro's treat cause he got his salary ( WAY TO GO BRO :D ) and after having dinner, I suggested buying cages to separate my two rodents, piggy and potato, cause they're terrible neighbours. My dad told us that serangoon north ave 1 has damn cheap cages so we headed there and HE'S RIGHT.

One really pretty pink cage for just 18 bucks, with a house, wheel, food bowl and a drinking thing.!!!

Wow. I should've gotten that shit first.!!!

We bought 2, one pink one blue. I paid 7 bucks for it and my mom and bro sponsored the rest :D ( Feeling broke. NEXT WEEK = SAVE MONEY OR DIE )

OH
AND
When I was at this shop, I saw really huge hamsters.! They aren't drawf hamsters see, so they were the size of a mouse or slightly bigger, like a rat. My mom screamed and I was like, what what. She said they're mating and I was like, huh.

I mean, all I saw was this rodent standing really weirdly and this other rodent just came over and started bouncing on it.

My mom was like, SEE THE BALLS THE BALLS.

I couldnt see anything lah please. I kept telling her it's the tail but she said it's the balls. My bro said too. I didnt understand.

*squint squint* still the tail, no balls. I looked underneath, still no balls.

Suddenly, this orange rodent ( the one that was bouncing ), suddenly came up again and bounced when I was looking down. Then I realised.

The orange one is the one with the balls omg.

And the balls is not round.
It's like... I dont know. A tumor.?

I was horrified and I was like, WTH that is DEFINITELY not balls.! My mom insisted and the shopkeeper said so too and I was like, NO WAY.

It really looks like a tumor.!!!! So terrifying. Somemore my mom kept looking at it and I just got too disgusted.

Ew, tumor.

We left anyway, and there we go, 2 rodents, separated and living happily ever after :D Except piggy maybe, cause it's so fat that when it rolls on the wheel, it's feet would slip off and drop etc.

And plus, the lady taught us how to look at the gender and we realised that they're both females.

That totally explains everything.

Something stupid for everyone to read.

I'm finally taking a break from my projects when someone msn-ed me asking me if I listened to Japanese songs. My itunes was playing flavour of life I think. And we talked for a bit and this was what happened.

I can't believe what my parents just did. Sigh, I know it's partly my fault but STILL.!?

THIS
IS
ABSURD.

After doing projects (2) for like, a total of 2hours plus, I've decided to take a break from 6.35-7pm to rest my eyes cause I can tell it's feeling kinda tired by all the sudden foggy-ness due to my contacts. So I took my sleeping stuff from upstairs, turned on the music and slept. I wasn't really sleeping actually, cause I could hear my music and see memories of me and giles walking aimlessly around cine, him over at my place for the salad party, me and him when we were both sick last week.. It was so nice(:

I think I fell asleep at around 6.50-7 cause my parents came home and my mom woke me up to tell me to eat. I said ok and I fell back into dreamland and my mom had to wake me up the second time after she has bathed and told me to eat. Only then did I realise that my music was turned off. I jolted up and asked her if she turned off my lappy and she said YES.

Thing is, I didn't save the Japanese project that I was doing.!!
I mean, I know, I DEFINITELY know that I should but I only wanted to sleep for like, 25 mins and get back to work and plus, no one touches my lappy so I left it hanging there AND AND AND.

IT'S GONE.

I was damn angry, one cause I did take time to do it and two, I was still feeling so tired. Somemore when I told my mom if she saved my project, she said she didnt see any.

HOW CAN IT BE.?!
A message like,' would you like to save file1' or something would appear right.?!

I was damn angry, like really really angry NOT because she didnt see the save thing OR cause she turned off my laptop but BECAUSE she said this before leaving my room.

'Aiya, your teacher never teach you to save meh.? HMPH' *walks out of the room*

OK. Even if it's my fault for not saving it, SHE SHOULD AT LEAST APOLOGISE.

So I got back to do my work. THANKFULLY, I always ALWAYS save my firefox tabs so when I opened, my information was there :D I just took them out and put them back in, typed the layout back. Within minutes, I was done whee(:

I went downstairs and ate. I looked at my mom and said nothing though. I wasn't angry anymore but just waiting for an apology but it never came. I took my food, went to the table and ate. She asked if I managed to do it and she said,' OK LA, I'm SORRY'. JUST when I was feeling better, my dad interrupted and said,' ITS NOT YOUR FAULT WHAT. She should have SAVED her file. I ALWAYS save my file one'

Then I really got annoyed. I said,' Ya. It's my fault for not saving. I'm sorry.'

I really really felt like saying something like,' I'm sorry for tempting you to touch my computer and for sleeping because I was tired from all those work' but I just continued eating. I don't want another World War III.

Happy news is GILES IS IN SINGAPORE AGAIN<3 Thank you my Lord ;)

Back home without meeting piggy today because he has to go to Muar for his grandma's funeral. It's a real pity that his grandma had to leave.. I wanted to see her): After all, she was the one that asked if we have had any children yet haha! Then again, even though I only saw her once on the webcam, it seems that I can not only remember her face, but she also caused such an impression that I can never forget that day. Rest well grandma):

Giles is leaving tonight also and he'd be travelling alone.. I'm pretty worried that something might happen so I'll pray for him to be safe): My poor giles... I will message him till he reaches Muar tonight even if it means I won't get any sleep.!!

I love you):
