all i wanna do now is to roll around in bed, or just do something unconstructive.. like spacing out. sigh. this happens every freaking semester. am thinking twice about doing honours now, because i'm just so sick of having to force myself to sit down, slog my days away and subject my brain to mental torture.
keeping fingers crossed that everything's going to turn out fine. i don't wanna go to hongkong feeling heavy hearted...
and thinking about all the pending essays that i've yet to get back and the upcoming papers are filling me with dread (and horror that i've so much to complete)
the next couple of weeks are gonna feel like eternity. i want to go to hongkong now :(
oh, and my mum was telling me about this smu student who got robbed and stabbed when she was on her way home at around midnight. she was crying and saying that she stayed back in school to do some project/assignment... thus her going home at that hour. super poor thing la... not like she was hanging out late for fun :|

If I am lost for a day, try to find me
But if I don't come back, then I won't look behind me
All of the things that I thought were so easy
Just got harder and harder each day

I love listening to Westlife because their voices never fail to soothe me and provide me with this heartwarming comfort that most people can't.
"you looked beautiful, btw."
to you, thank you; that made my night :)
and to qi, thank you for being so very supportive, for knowing just the right things to say when i'm down, and for making me feel slightly more positive tonight with your words. <3
talk is cheap.

10:53 pm - Tell me I'm worth it
after all thats been said and done, is this it?
and i have no words left.
This is the thing about life I’ve never really understood until now: we try so hard to control it, but bad things happen anyway. The only real control is an anti-control, a letting go.

its been a long while since i've updated this space. everytime i feel like blogging, something'll distract me and i'll keep procrastinating about it. the result? a backlog of photos and events to talk about
the recess week was a welcome break from school. its extremely gratifying to catch up on my work at a leisurely pace with a mug of super yummy green tea soy latte :) i'm dreading the next couple of weeks because i've got two major essays and one stats report coming up though >:(
Monday: was spent at Flea Titans with kenneth. the stifling heat was overwhelming but did not kill my excitement for sourcing out good bargains. and i was not disappointed :)))) i was happily flipping the racks of clothings and was about to make a purchase for van when kenneth informed me solemnly that we had ran out of cash (!!!) my face fell immediately. we fretted like crazy but in the end, the super trusting seller offered to let me make a deposit first before transferring her the money later!! and i finally got my banana and raspberry artisan biscuits from Jones the Grocer. i was beyond chuffed that day :):)
Tuesday: made a weak attempt to revise at home but i succumbed to the lethargy in the late afternoon. whats new...
Wednesday: study session with ele at citylink Starbucks :) i think we talked more than we studied but thats okay because i enjoyed myself. i'm really glad i met her because we have so much in common :) that lucky girl has a super pretty Chanel necklace thats to die for!! met kenneth for dinner at Thai Express and while the food was yum, i had the runs like twice after we got home. i then spent the whole week with piercing abdominal pains that came and went but my mum thought it was gastric so we just self medicated... but i didn't get any better so when we went to the doc on saturday morning, we discovered that it actually gastro-enteritis that was bugging me. which is basically inflammation of the stomach and the small intestine. i think the culprit could be the salmon sashimi that i had on tuesday. boycotts Niwa Sushi forever :b
Thursday: Me-time, which was spent mainly spacing and zoning out... but at least i did try to be productive.
Friday: studied with van at tamp Starbucks. it was damn fun and hilarious. HAHA. had dinner at Man Ting Xiang ( val, their bubble tea's like the ones i had in taiwan! ) before heading to Udders for my favourite hazel nuts and mao shan wang ice-cream!
Saturday: had ( free ) jap food samples at Lido food basement again! i don't think i'll ever get sick of doing this. its like our saturday routine now. and i'll always get tempted into buying something. the japs are cunning people. anyway we went for F1 in the evening because kenneth had free tickets but i seriously don't understand the hype over it. it was boring with a capital B. i guess its the basking in the atmosphere thats worthwhile. i just thought it was a pity that we didn't manage to catch backstreet boys performance because it was too far away :(
sorry everything seems so mundane because that is my life now... the weeks before were much more laidback and relaxed with more exciting activities but i can't seem to recall what i did.. age does that to you sometimes.
i've got a sudden craving for kimchi. except that its one of the off-limits food for now. but still, no harm taking a teeny wheeny bit right?

feels like i haven't done a proper update in a pretty long while! school has been rolling for three weeks and all's fine thus far. then again, thats cause the hectic part's not here yet. anyway, here's what i've been up to:
01 val treated me dinner last monday for my birthday! we had ramen at some jap place in Jurong Point. its always good meeting up with her because she kind of has a knack of putting things in pespective for me. thanks alot val <3
02 having the first facial of my life at Pink Parlour on wed. it wasn't exactly that memorable because i couldn't seem to be all zen even though i was supposed to be. i'd lie as still as a rod when the facial girl was in the room but once she left, i'd start fidgeting and lying in different positions to make myself more comfortable, albeit in a more unglam state. oh and i also found out that i have rather sensitive skin. hmm. anyway, thank you kenneth for the pleasant surprise. you're the best <3
03 went to Udders for the first time ever with kenneth on friday and having their Mao Shan Wang durian ice-cream that yaqi recommended! it was DAMN YUMMYYYYYY!! the best durian ice-cream that i've tasted so far, i kid you not. its even nicer than the ones that Scoopz and Icecream Gallery offers. told van about it and we're going there next friday!! can't wait :)
04 trying to catch up on my thick stack(s) of readings before everything starts snowballing...
05 i was at Ion on saturday and i had a medium sized natural yogurt with granola..... for 95 cents (!!!) kenneth and i couldn't believe our ears and we walked away hurriedly before the cashier could change her mind. later we stood at a spot and giggled to ourselves before digging into the smooth and creamy goodness <3 am looking forward to yami + thai/jap food date with ele next week!
06 finally caught Up and The Proposal; two lovely movies that i enjoyed very much :) van bet that i would definitely cry when i watched the former but sorry to disappoint, i didn't shed a single tear at all... ha. i'm actually much stronger than most people think me of. i'm all brawn and muscles... do not guffaw when you read this. anyway, the latter's like one of the better love comedies that i've watched in a long while, even though i think the plot could have been better developed if the movie's longer. i can't wait for 500 Days of Summer!
okay thats all for now. its going to be a two-day week again because bio psyc tuitorial this coming friday's cancelled. yay!!

fucktard of the century, just stop it already. you're as bad as the other. i can't comprehend how you can be so cynical and hard-hearted, always critisicing about other people, but yet admitting that you hate criticism thats directed your way. all of you scare me. but one thing i'm sure, all of you are more screwed up than i'm.

ever since i entered jc, my birthday celebrations and the things that my friends had up their sleeves often left me in a state of wide-eyed surprise. and this year was no different. the good thing about my birthday date is that its so close to national day, and that spells a long weekend :) The Birthday Week was rather peachy ( apart from this certain issue that left kenneth and i super sian and troubled..... ); a great way to end the long holidays :)
celebrations kickstarted with me meeting van for our sekret appointment and seaweed shaker fries, followed by dinner with d8 on wed. he treated me to dinner at Big O Cafe ( Spike D alert! ) and got me a box of Royce chocolate. we were at Steve Madden when he informed me that he had to go to the toilet. i, of course, suspected nothing and happily took the time to ogle at all that gorgeous shoes while waiting. only when i was on my way home then i realised he had bought the gift and placed it into my shoe bag while on his supposed toilet excursion. thank you ahtan! :)
then came the seafood dinner with the girls at Punggol Choon Seng coffeeshop on thurs! weird place to celebrate a birthday... but we had a scrumptious feast of chilli crab, stir fried veggies, cereal prawns and sweet and sour pork. all my favourite food in one seating :):) fantastic. actually yaqi and i wanted to try the salted egg yolk crabs... but kellybelly doesn't eat eggs, in any form at all >:( earlier in the evening, i went to get jacinth's present by myself because yaqi and kell couldn't make it. the former explained that she had tuition from 4-7... but when i got home at 5 odd, facebook sent me notifications that she tagged me on several photos!? got pretty puzzled but suspected something amiss... so anyway i scolded her when we were in the midst of eating. but the truth unfolded later; she actually went to get the birthday cake for jacinth and i... hahahaha i forgive you wan yaqi so don't feel bad anymore :P the silly girl actually got a mint chocolate cake from Polar Cafe that reminded us vaguely of toothpaste.... so now you know where not to buy birthday cakes from. haha
on the actual day, i was being a sloth at home in the noon, sulking a little because i was bored out of my wits. waited for kenneth to book out before he came over to pick me up for dinner. along the way, he tried repeatedly to give me the impression that we were going Lau Pa Sat for dinner... but i knew better than to believe him because i know him too well :P we finally arrived at this small cosy looking restaurant called Sweet Indulgence :) before we did any ordering, kenneth presented me with my birthday/one year anniversary gift and the moment i opened it up, my eyes watered and i started tearing uncontrollably because i was so overwhelmed. its the bestest, sweetest and most thoughtful present anyone has given to me thus far and it further proved how well he understood me. will post pictures of it soon. anyway i had the beef tenderloin that was yummers while he had the salmon steak that was a far cry ( in a good way ) from the last salmon dish that we had at his social night. the tiramisu was lovely :):) super light and fluffy and the liquer in it wasn't overpowering. thank you for everything, kenneth. you're truly God sent <3 soon after, we rushed back home for the mandatory cake cutting session with my family. my mum said some stuff that made me really sad... so kenneth quickly ushered me out of the house for ktv at teoheng. it was supposedly only the two of us, and he claimed that this is something really special because we have never ktv-ed by ourselves before, and he isn't exactly a huge fan of ktv-ing. but unbeknownst to me, the hubbers were actually waiting for me inside the room with my favourite strawberry shortcake from Rive Gauche... then i started crying again because i thought they had forgotten all about my birthday. can't believe i got cheated by everyone!? great acting on everyone's part though.. i didn't suspect a thing, AT ALL. can change my name to Gullible Oh from now on. thanks for the card and handmade earrings everyone!! oh and for the red egg that van kopped from some baby shower.... (!?) :P
on sat, i headed to town with kenneth before meeting the boys and sy for dinner at Saraceno Ristorante. terrific place for first dates and special occasions... but not when you having zukai around. kidding. he kept wanting to order teh si and prata from the waiter... and after we finished eating, he proceeded to stack his bowl on top of sebas's plate while the rest of us looked on in horror. super mortifying. but we had a great laugh over it. haha i had the much raved about lamb chops and IT WAS DARN GOOD!! absolutely mouthwateringly delicious and i enjoyed every single morsel of it. am definitely going back there, just to have the lamb again :):) after dinner, we met up with simyee and walked to suntec for ktv at kbox because she had $100 worth of vouchers. super shuang please!! it was apparent that zukai and sebas enjoyed themselves the most. and if not for the vouchers, it would have been an exorbitant fee of $30++ for each of us. thanks for sharing sy!
to everyone who made me feel special in one way or another, thank you :)
