I'm happy! Yay!

Aiyo, my lovely 2 girl friends. Weijia and Lay Ning bluffed me by telling me that they are coming over my house to pass me some books. In the end, they came here to deliver my birthday presents. Gua gua gua. I totally didn't expected this. But seriously girls, I really have enough bags at home!! I just bought one on Tuesday and threw away 2 today. LoL. No more bags please!! I should have just told them what I wanted. ahhHh!!. HahAHha.

Anyway, I freaking cannot stand people who think they are of higher class/social status than others, especially when they are nowhere near it. I'm just freaking disgusted by their behaviour. I don't see the point of trying to be one when you can never be one. It's not about behaving like one, if more of having the right personality. Sigh. Forgive, forgive, forgive these idiots. RahHHhh!

And I've changed my mind. I will not be going Genting for my birthday. This is because... I'll will be going somewhere (make a guess!) so much better! So now I have to save up for that instead. So excited and looking forward to that!

Ok, I've made my first wish. Hehe.

Ah LaH BoOM!

Exams are over!

And here are the photos! I'm sending my laptop for service soon after this, like today or tomorrow.

Photojournalism:

My last movie date with JW and guys. Poor boys, they had to survive on cup noodles! LoL.

Super advanced 21st Birthday Celebration for me
I was walking down along Orchard Road and there were people giving out gerbera to all ladies who walked past Wisma Atria. I don't know if it was pure coincidence or what, but the message on the paper leave resembled the long long entry someone typed for me a few days earlier (thanks!). Haha!
Anyway, WJ and Layning treated me to this restaurant in some hotel along Scotts Road. It costed nearly $50 per person. But the food was fantastic! Look at those strawberry cheese cakes!
Fabulous seafood!!! I LOVE IT! And I love the sauce that came along with it!
More seafood. How not to get fat like that?!
And believe it or not, the 3 of us tried out all the 9 different types of the desserts. 9 each person, not 9 for the all of us, mind you!
Sashimi! But I warn you, eating too much of them in one go is really not a good idea =X
Lovely Lay Ning. The reason why we had such an early celebration for my (and also hers in fact) birthday is because she'll be flying to US the very next day after her last paper. Well, she took part in the Work And Travel in US programme.
Weijia and I. My dear Weijia will also be flying to China for 3 weeks for some business trip, organised by her school. She was saying that back in 2007, all of us went Taiwan together. But in June 2008, all of us will be in different continents of the world! LoL.

The two of them actually had a good fight over what present to get for me just before the dinner. In the end, they gave up and decided to ask me what I want directly. HAHAHA.

Them: Oi, choose a wallet.
Me: Huh? But I just changed my wallet at the end of last year!

Them: Choose a bag then.
Me: I have enough bags at home.

Weijia: Sushi ah, will you wear it if we get you a set of bikini?
Me: NO. NOooOo!!!
Weijia: o(-_-")o I know you won't let me see anyway.

Them: Clothes?
Me: I don't mind getting a dress.
So we went searching high and low for a dress. But all turned out to be too formal for daily use. And in the end we abandoned the idea too and went for the dinner instead.

HAHAHA!

St. Margrets Sec Sch Choir Concert
Went down to support my 'twin' sister.

Shujun's 21st Birthday Celebration
I was making a card for her at Sharon's house. I only asked Sharon to help me with one thing, to paste the 'S' and 'J' properly in Step 4. And look at what she gave me. *faint* By the time I realised the silly mistake, the glue had already dried up so there's no way we could make any changes unless we want to destroy the card. I'm blessed with some creativity I guess, I managed to 'cover up' the mistake eventually by pasting another set of black 'S' and 'J' on top of the white ones.
Somehow, all of them were from NJC band except me. But somehow, I know all of them, even though all of them are from my senior batch! LoL
Birthday girl getting ready to 'murder' her cake.
Birthday girl's present, something she always wanted.

Europe Trip -- Preparation Work
Visited the library to get external help from books.
I found a HUGE map of Amsterdam in my dad's collection of world maps. It's really HuGE.

JB trip on the last day of exam!
My lovely Babes, Raj and Nan.
Had lunch at Laksa Shack. It's opposite Secret Recipe in City Square. The Tom Yam Laksa I tried was really delicious!
Raj's Roti Jala.
Nan's Nyonya Curry Laksa.
Still feeling hungry, I bought the Ji Pa (a unique type of Chicken Chop) from Shilin. Better than Singapore's, if I'm not wrong.
What followed lunch was Shopping of course! We went to this lingerie shop that sell really cute bras. But then ah, I think they look nice hanging up there only. Not practical to wear them under your clothes. Imagine a bulge forming due to the the BIG ribbons on the bra!
Happy Nan with her goodies. It turned out that I was the only one who didn't buy anything =(

Indulging myself in Coffee Club
I tell you, I'm really falling in love with my camera. The qualities of the photos are just getting better and better!
Resembles that of a SLR? heh.
A Cup Above The Rest! I like what the cafe has on it's wall.
Soki!! Look at this!! I just invested $50 on this book! So now we'll have no worries getting around (I hope!) in June!!! =D

Seeing Nan off at Changi Airport
Me, Nan, Raj! NAN IS SO FREAKING PRETTY OK!?!?!! She is our future Cambodian celebrity!!
Kiss Kiss Kiss <3

Meeting up with Ex-roomie
Guess for what? To borrow her Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows from her! I finally have the time to finish this book!

Alright, the decision has been made.

Sushi, that's me, has decided to withdraw from the choir competition in Czech Republic this coming June. The reason is that the choir has chosen an airline that doesn't allow any deviation of flights. In other words, if I want to go London and delay my stay, I've to buy one-way tickets. Now, that is something very stupid to do because one-way tickets are freaking expensive. Despite the new travel agent chosen by my choir offers a package that is about SGD$600 cheaper than the previous one, this amount is just not enough to compensate the money I have to spend on one-way tickets in any way. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, I decided to give up the competition and fly to London straight. The advantage of this is that not only it is cheaper, I have more time to spend in Europe as well. And poor Soki doesn't have to spend 10 days in London after her exam ends just to wait for me. My dream is to backpack in Europe, the competition was just something additional (since it just happened to be held in Europe also). Hence, I've no regrets =)

Anyway, my exam is ending tomorrow, and it would also mean that I've officially completed my first year of studies in university. I still find it hard to believe but it is true. What follows will be a 3 months break. I'll try to get a job and earn back whatever I will be spending on my trip. I hate to see the numbers in my bank account to be ever decreasing. I want the numbers to increase in thousands, not to decrease in hundreds. I need to find at least 2 other tuition assignments in order for that to come true. If you ever wonder why I am so desperate for money, that's because I need to save up for my trips next year! My New Zealand adventure trip, my Korea trip with WJ and LN, my Taiwan trip with my Bros after they ORD, etc. Let me emphasize again, I will spend everything and anything to travel!

And, I'm going JB straight after my paper tomorrow! Haha!

I can't wait to meet up with my er zi for dinner at Cafe Cartel! My favourite Dark Chocolate Fudge cake, here I come!!

I want to get my long hair chopped off next week too!

I miss the rooftop of Esplanade!

There are just so many things to do after tomorrow! =D

There is something I must blog about today.

Guess what, the first person (that I know of) I saw outside the examination hall this morning is my EYECANDY leh!! He actually spotted me first and smiled to me and said 'hi'!! Then he sat beside me and started revising somemore! OMG!! This is a good start man, I feel so excited although I screwed up my paper lah!!

HA HA HA! 2 more papers to go! Jia you jia you jia you! Hope I'll see him again on Wed! Aiyo.. must wake up very early like that.. haha! But for the sake of my eyecandy, worth it! Yay!!

Ok, I know I sound like an idiot.. But his smile is just so sunny lah.. haha!

I have been having weird dreams recently. I dreamt of people I dread to see, and also some weird happenings between these people and I. It's surprising enough that I can remember these dreams. Well, it has been said that what you see in your dreams will not come true in reality. Great!

I feel like dancing whenever I heard this Korean song lah! Haha I know I can't dance for nuts, but I just can't help it. This song just lifts up my mood no matter what.

How could I ever be so dumb to have even considered what my intuition told me? Aiyo. I realise this upon re-evaluating certain facts and all of them supported my logical reasoning. And there're definitely more to come. Haha. So dumb! Gua!

Jia you jia you!

It has been a terrible week this week. Or I should say Thursday had been a terrible day. Not that I screwed up my papers--in fact I think I was rather on form this week for my exams. Anyway ya, after the last paper of this week on Thursday, I thought I could finally relax a little, at least for that night.

But I was god damn wrong.

I am not going to elaborate further. I'm still trying to perfect the art of forgiving someone, though I don't think my efforts will ever be appreciated. In a nutshell, it felt shitty, very.

I'd learnt my lesson, however, and I feel smarter now.

My mood is totally spoilt now. I can hardly concentrate with my revision for the papers next week.

Darn.

I need chocolate cakes..

________________________

Then again, what if we forgive everyone but no one bothers to forgive us? It has always been said in every religion (or whatsoever) that we must be kind and forgiving and that people will see our efforts and be inspired eventually. Come on, that's bullshit, some people in this world JUST CAN'T SEE IT, ever. It just doesn't work that way in reality.

OK, let me talk about guys, or men.

Men in formal wear just have this mesmeric charm. Nothing beats shirts, ties and suits. They simply make girls fall head over heels for you. I just can't take my eyes off attractive men of those kind.

Men who can cook definitely have a higher chance of scoring. I'm not saying that you have to be a great chef but knowing how to prepare a simple breakfast is good enough. Those who can bake is undoubtedly another bonus. You don't know how adorable you look when you put on that apron and step into the kitchen.

Men who don't groom well scare us away. Hello, please shave properly! It doesn't feel good to be kissing someone and at the same time worrying that our tender skin might get scratched.

Neh! Gua!

No photos yet. Wait till I get my laptop repaired after my exams.

P/S: Daniel Henney is so cute. This adds on to the number of mixed-bloods I adore. Hehehe!!!

3rd post of the day! Haha

I tend to do many crazy things to destress during my exam periods. Dark chocolates plus some alcohol/wine, the best combination. Try it!

Anyway, check out the following.

Summer


Composed and performed by Joe Hisaishi, one of my favourite composers. I'd really like to go for his concert should he ever put up one in Singapore.

And.. I want to go for David Tao's concert.. Sadly it's during my exams. Sob.

I shall go with my logic then. I'm an engineering student after all. LoL.

P/S: I hope you will read the previous entries and get what I'm trying to deliver. Stop making your own life (and thus mine) more complicated. I can't be tolerating forever. RahHhh. ArghHHh.

I'm getting really excited about the Europe trip. Will be spending about 3 weeks there. This trip shall be my birthday gift for myself.

He gave himself away.
No me ames.

What if my logic contradicts with my instincts? What if both are sound? Which one shall I go with then?

Some time earlier on this week my mum tried to test the waters by asking me:

"So, has any guy in your college caught your attention yet?"

I responded immediately to her with a 'NO', followed by this sian diao expression--> o(-_-")o I mean, I won't have told her the truth even if it was a 'yes'. But anyway, she went on giving me some tips on choosing of life partners and I couldn't help it but to yawn non-stop. One thing that has be puzzling me is that just a few weeks ago she was still disapproving me of getting a boyfriend in college and now she seems to be getting a little impatient. While brushing my teeth just now, I kind of figured out why.

Well, in the paternal side of my family, my youngest uncle, though already in his mid-30s, has yet to find a girlfriend and settle down. Everyone in the family, literally everyone, from big to small, old to young, has been nagging at him every now and then to get a wife. Now, should he 'accomplishes his task' any time soon, it'd be a 'STAGE CLEARED' for his generation. In other words, the entire family's attention will then be directed to the next generation. And being the eldest amongst my cousins, I'm the first in the line (omg!).

Gua gua gua.

Now I know it.

P/S: It has been said that girls can usually tell if a guy is into her. So if I am right this time, then I better get into some action. Sigh. Gua!

________________________

Should I trust my logic or instincts this time?

Hmm. Just came back from Grace's choir concert. I've only been to two choir concerts so I don't really know how to gauge the standard of their choir. And I forgot to buy my favourite dark chocolate cake from Cafe Cartel on my way back home. Saddened. Not say I'm depressed again. I'm just craving for something I love and had not eaten for the past nearly 4 months or more.

Hmm I've checked up on the transportation fees for the Genting trip. It seems that it's rather impossible to have just an one day trip if I'm going by bus. In other words I have to stay overnight at First World Hotel. Anyway, the cheapest packages are for deluxe rooms (double beds) so this means that I have to find someone to go with me. Therefore, I am going to ask all my friends:

"Does anyone want to go Genting (the theme park mainly) with me?"
Departure date will be either 9th or 10th May, 2D1N trip.
Going as a small group can too.

Gua. I guess this won't work, because I nearly forgot that not many people know I have a blog and that I actually blog. Oh gosh I think I better come up with a back up plan. This is really saddening. But it can't be helped. Like I'd said before, who'll be still crazy over theme parks at this age? And besides, almost everyone in Singapore has been to Genting before by this age and many people are already sick of that place. Sigh.

Haiz. I really wonder how others celebrate their 21st birthday. My mum is like rather cold towards it. And she would only give me money and ask me to celebrate it myself. It has always been like this for the past few years man. The last present I've got from her (from my dad and her actually) was a discman, and that was in 2002 I think. The more I think of this the more upset I get. Sighh.. Nevermind.. I've never had any major birthday celebrations in my life so I really don't know what to do this time. I want to make it a special one for myself but somehow I'm rather lost.. Aiya this is getting very depressing, and that shouldn't be the case now man.

Why are guys as freaking troublesome and why even very obvious hints won't work on them? Are they dumb or something?

Pain, pain, pain!!!

Why? Because I fainted just after getting out of my bed on Monday morning. All I could remember was that I heard 'pong pong pong' and the next moment I found myself lying under my table, facing up. The pain at the back of my head got through my nerves quickly and it didn't take me long before I realise that my head had a terrible collision with the floor. And a big blood clot formed at the back of my head minutes after the incident, and it still hurts a lot now! Gua. Not only that, I had problems walking for the first few hours as my hip and butt hurt too. Perhaps it's the low blood pressure, since I got up from the lying position quite quickly. But have anyone fainted because of this? In fact I feel very dizzy on many of the mornings just after getting out of my bed and often had to grab onto something before I can stablise myself and gain full consciousness. Is this normal, anyone? I really hope it's not something serious. I'll go for a checkup when I go back to China in July. Maybe it's because I'm too tall and hence the blood takes very long to travel to my brain. Hahaha. Another disadvantage of being too tall!

Pain..

Oh btw, Dad's coming back in 3 week's time!! =D
