Muahaha.. so long nvr update. Not that i dowan to.. but i was bz moving hse on mon.. and then i got probs with my scv modem. Everything's more or less settled now.. except me. I still gotta get used to losing some of my privacy and personal space lolz. Coz now i gotta share a rm with my mum instead of having my own rm.


Anyway, the moving was pretty smooth, except for the raining earlier on in the morn (made things kinda wet ), and alot of dust flying arnd making me sneeze all day. My 5th aunt and uncle helped us to move using their lorry.. we din have too much furniture to move anyway since we're moving to my 2nd aunt's place, and she's already got furnitures. After that the next few days was spent unpacking stuff and me trying to get my modem to function properly. Alrite.. time for a necessary break.. to play with Jessie (not sure if the spelling is correct but it's pronounced this way), my dog. My aunt's dog actually but since i live here i'll make her my dog too.


Back from a very interesting playing session with Jessie.. with lots of dog saliva involved haha. She's so kawaii~ 4 yrs old now but still hyper active. She's not trained tho, so she doesn't listen to commands.. i'm thinking of bringing her to some dog lessons.. or i can try training her myself.. hope it works. Alrite.. time to feed my hamsters.. and maybe play with the rabbit too. (sounds like i'm living in a zoo) Ciao!

Ahh.. home @ last. Feeling tired seh.. but i enjoyed myself today. Went to meet Wensi today @ 4.30pm to pluck eyebrows. We planned to watch Wimbledon after that and i already booked the tix for PS. Altho i made an appointment for our eyebrow plucking we still gotta wait for our turns so by the time we were done we cldn't make it for the movie.. (tix were supposed to be collected 30 mins b4 the show and we cldn't collect them in time)


Well, since movie was out so we called Ego to meet us up.. then later Jacques, Alan and English came too, while we were playing pool. Went for dinner after that @ the food court in PS. Then we took the mrt to boat quay and went to a ktv pub for the rest of the nite. Sang a few songs and drank some tiger beer (altho i dun realli like beer). They were so scared of me getting drunk again and kept telling me not to drink too much lolz. But i dun realli feel much coz i drank quite slowly.. and i even let English drank abit of my beer (he's not suppose to drink coz he's 17.. underaged by 1 yr LOLz). Anyway, we left @ arnd 12mn (not sure what time since i din bother to check) and i took a cab home (again).


Btw, i met 2 sec sch frens @ PS today.. wa so surprised.. din expect to see them again haha. I was the one to spot them lor.. they abit cheh meh wahaha. Chatted abit with them and exchanged contacts.. quite happy to see them actually lolz. Coz i realli miss my sec sch life.


This morn i also went into my yahoo groups.. smth that i haven done for the past 1 - 2yrs? I juz suddenly thot of going in.. to see if the groups are still alive. Well they are and i discovered that it's Yuye bday today! I haven't talked to her in ages.. (see how much i've lost touch with all my past frens haha) and i realise i kinda miss her as well. I read thru the recent posts and saw that she's organising a bbq today to celebrate her bday. I'd love to go wish her happy bday in person but i lost her contact so i can't call her. Anyway, i left a post wishing her happy birthday and with my hp no. inside. Hope she sees it soon and contact me.. i feel like meeting her up and catching up on old times..

Yoz~ Forgot to blog ytd again.. Went to meet my mum ytd @ tpy. There's a Singtel promotion again @ HDB (they have it every yr). HDB staff can subscribe corporate plans @ cheaper prices and my mum wanna transfer an M1 acc number to Singtel. I guess she got sick of M1 already.


Anyway, she lets me use her new subscription to get a new hp for myself. So i traded in my T610 for a Samsung E600C. (Paid the balance by myself of coz..) I've juz finished figuring the functions out and exploring the fone. Not bad.. i like the display and the tones.


Unfortunately, the fone was out of stock ytd when we got there so i had to pass my fone to her so she can go collect my new fone today. I ended up using her fone 1st coz i had to meet via today for gym. Altho my mum's fone was kinda "antique" i was fine with it until via called me while i was on my way to meet her. The ringing tone was.. like those typical ringing tones used by aunties lo..(meaning oldies la) And it was like so loud.. heng nobody was arnd me @ that time.. So paiseh!!!


Well.. forget abt that incident. Gym was kinda.. awkward lolz. Coz it's our 1st time there. The bedok gym was kinda small too.. and so many guys there lo.. Probably coz we went there abit late.. almost 3pm. We din even know where the gym was and ended up walking all over the place.. and when we found the gym the person told us we gotta go over to the sports hall (we had to walk over to another building nearby) to buy the ticket for the gym arghz. *sigh* Anyway, we did that and finally we get to use the gym. We changed and din know what to do.. so i asked for someone to sort of guide us a little. And after the session i discovered wow i'm really 'under-exercised'.. can't really jog for long on the running machine (or whatever it's called). And that thing made me feel really giddy coz when i tried to step off it i felt like i was drunk.. cldn't walk properly. We left after abt 45mins and sat in the gym toilet/changing rm/bathrm chatting lolz. (I need to get my breath back after my jog ok..) But i wanna slim down man.. so i think i'll keep up with this..

Woo.. nvr blog for de last few days haha. But hey, it's not coz i'm lazy ok.. it's coz i was kinda bz packing my stuff for de move next monday. I'm still not done with packing yet lo.. still got some more stuff to pack. That's why i dun really like moving house.. so troublesome.


Anyway, i did go to de Pets Adoption Drive ytd with my mother. Altho i'm not adopting any i juz wanna take a look @ all de cute doggies there. And wow there were really alot of dogs there lo.. of all shapes and sizes.. so kawaiiiii~~! Too bad i can't adopt any.. so sad! *sigh* But i can't adopt anyway, coz my aunt already has a dog.. and i think it's better not to get another in case they can't get along. Besides, my aunt's house is gonna become a mini pet home already. I myself got 3 hamsters and she has a dog and a huge rabbit. So i think that's enough pets to take care of @ one time. I guess i'll juz treat her dog as my own and take care of it lolz.

Hmm just came home from de interview. Went out @ 11am+ to get my IC photocopied and take some passport fotos. Then off i headed to simei for my interview. The interview was pretty much same as other interviews.. me filling form and she asking qns and me asking her qns. I'm applying for part-time sales asst for this fashion shop (i feel i shldn't really say which.. i think they wld wan some confidentiality?) and the salary is the usual rate.. $5/hr. They have outlets in simei and in jurong and tpy. The girl told me i wld be required to work where they ask me to, but mostly they wld send me to somewhere nearer where i live. I only have to go far only when there're really shortage of workers in that outlet. I also informed her that i wld be moving on 25th this mth and that i might be taking a few days off in dec for lovehurts chalet, and she has no prob with that. There's one thing i forgot to ask her tho, that's how many days i have to work per wk or whether i wld have to work wkends lolz. But i think i probably have to work on wkends as well (it's a fashion clothes store in a shopping centre after all) and actually i dun really mind that. I juz hope that i dun have to end up working everyday, as i also have other things to do like de gym, driving lessons, etc, tho i dun mind de money i will earn. I wanna earn more money~!


Well anyway, i went to watsons after de interview to buy some cosmetics and stuff. Bought an eyebrow tweezer, mascara, eyeliner, and a bottle of make-up remover from maybeline.. total came up to abt $30++. Damn i gotta earn money soon.. i hate to see de money in my bank acc go down. I wanted to go pluck my eyebrows as well and i called via earlier on to ask if she wanna go along.. coz i wanna go to de place she usually goes to for plucking eyebrows in tamp as it's cheaper there. But her cca meeting ended @ 1pm and she gotta reach her workplace in raffles place @ 3pm and she said we din make any appt b4 going over to de place so de person might not be free for us.. that idea's out and i decided to come home 1st.


So.. now i'm waiting for de person (from my interview) to contact me.. she said it wld probably take arnd 3 days. In de mean time, i'll still be looking for other part-times in case i dun get hired for this one..

Got some probs with my blog ytd.. cldn't publish my blog. But they helped me fix de prob after i emailed them ytd.


Today did quite alot of stuff. Woke up @ 8.30am to wash up and went to photocopy my dad's documents @ 9.30am. I wanted to collect my "This" card too but de shop wasn't open yet so i took a cab down to MOM to deposit de documents. After that i took de mrt down to simei to meet via for gym. Via was late.. and watz more she forgot to bring all her cards, i.e. IC, EzLink, etc. While waiting for her, i went walking arnd and i came across this fashion clothes shop (i forgot de shop name.. ). There was a notice pasted outside saying that they wanna hire full/part-time sales asst.. so i'm gonna go down tmr for an interview hee. Anyway, after via arrived, we went down to de NTUC Income Fitness Gym @ Changi-Simei Community Club to apply for our membership, and discovered that we cldn't use de coupons via brought along to waive de $35 admin fees required for 1st subcribers for de membership. Ok, we were fine with that and didn't mind paying for it, hence de total we had to pay was $57 (including $22 membership fee). THEN de person said 1st payment had to be by cheque and i was thinking where de hell are we suppose to dig up cheques for him @ that moment. Well, what cld we do except to leave 1st and come back another day. Wasted trip sia.


We went back to East Point and decided to have a drink @ Starbucks. Then we went window shopping for hps to check out de prices. So expensive sia.. de hps i wan. I then accompanied via back to her hse to get her cards coz she was going to meet her bf later. Speaking of her bf, i finally get to meet him! Muahaha! Dun misunderstand ar, no special meaning.. juz that that time si got to see him twice @ cineleisure and i din so i abit 'gian' haha. Actually i thot of joining si and her fren as they're going to gym as well in de evening.. but my stomach decided all of a sudden to give me probs again so i went home while via went to esplanade with her bf. Of coz, i remembered to go to bedok central get my "This" card b4 going home.


So now i juz had my dinner and as always my idea of diet all flew out of de window lolz. Haiz that's why my diet always fail. Well, now via and me decided not to join de NTUC Income gym already. We're thinking of juz going to de gym @ de sports complex. I've also asked my mum to check for me if we can join de gym @ her workplace (HDB tpy branch) @ a cheaper price. If we can we might consider using that gym after i move to tpy. I've gotten over de issue abt living in bedok.. i guess they got their own reasons to object.. i dun really blame them too. Well, i juz wanna take things ez.. no point continue being upset abit it. Now waiting for via to go home so we can discuss when we can next go gym..

*sigh* Seems like nth good happening these few days. Juz had a quarrel with my mum earlier on abt u-noe-wat. I juz find it supremely difficult to make her understand me. It's been a long time since i last cried in front of her so i think she got a little shock juz now lolz. Anyway, it's over now and i've decided to make de best of it. So i guess it's plan no.2 for me.. if u duno wat i'm talking abt refer to my post ytd.


I juz smsed via if she wanna go to gym tmr and she agreed. Well here's wat i have to do for tmr (may not necessarily be in this order):
1.Make a copy of de documents my dad gave me today @ de photocopy shop downstairs.
2.Collect my "This Fashion" membership card from de shop @ bedok central (which i shld have received ages ago).
3.Go down to MOM to help my dad deposit de original set of documents.
4.Meet via to go to de gym @ simei.
5.After gym, depending on de time and my mood, perhaps i wanna go shopping or smth.


I wonder if i shld get my contacts now or wait til i move to tpy.. coz de shop si recommended is there. Anyway, i wun have time tmr to do it.. perhaps another day. And also, for de umpteenth time, i really gotta start looking for a part-time job so i can earn money to get myself de stuff i wan, which is gonna cost me a few hundred bucks at least. I can more than afford those things now.. it's juz dat i dun wanna eat into my savings. I can use my savings to buy de stuff 1st but i wanna be able to put de money back later.


Sooo.. that's it for now. I can't say i'm not disappointed.. but that's de way it is.. life's full of disppointments. U juz gotta learn to take things ez..

posted @ 11:52 PM


Wtf sia.. wake up in a bad mood again. Early in de morn wake me up.. ask me to do a whole lot of stuff again.. check this and that.. call here and there. Not that i'm unhelpful or wat.. i know he needs someone to help him with de online and internet stuff. Usually i wun mind if he does this.. but today i'm still pretty pissed abt last nite. Ok i admit i might have shown a wee bit of attitude juz now, but hey, that's de least he can get when he pissed me off de nite b4 and THEN waking me up too early in de morn to ask me to do stuff. If it was some other dumbass i might have snapped his head off. I'm de type to get grouchy when u deprive me of my beauty slp, esp when i got into it with a bad mood. But since he's my dad after all, i controlled my temper in de best way i know (that is to keep my mouth shut) and still helped him with watever he wanted. God.. and tmr i still have to make a trip to MOM for him juz to deposit some forms in a stupid box. I dun care if i sound mean here it's my freaking blog and i can say watever i wan and i juz feel like $#@!#@%# here. Zzz..

posted @ 1:14 PM


He's freaking pissing me off.. freaking pissed.. wtf.. zzz.. Yea u shld have guessed by now.. my dad objected.. that @%$%@#^!.. BLA i'm trying my best to control my language here. Altho i did plan for this i had really hoped things wld happen the other way. That's why ppl say things dun always happen de way u wan them to.. ha ha. Ass. I wasn't feeling this bad juz now actually, but my mum had to rub it in.. nag nag nag nag nag. Then my dad keep asking me to do this do that.. and this and that. And he's like so impatient and bla bla. FO man. Freaking pissed rite now.

YAY!!! I feel like jumping for joy man~! I juz had a talk with my mum regarding de issue of me living by myself and she has tentatively agreed! She's kinda worried dat i wun be taking good care of myself like skipping meals, staying out late, etc, but i can tell she wanna give me a chance to learn to be independent as well. Now i juz have to wait for my dad to return home and ask for his consent as well and i'm on my 1st step to freedom.. oops i mean independence~!


Alrite.. when i said living by myself, i dun realli mean living in a house on my own. Remember i said in one of my previous post that we're planning to move to tpy? Well, ytd via and me juz decided to start going to de gym to shed off all our fats, and it happens that de all-female gym we wanna go is situated in simei. So i thot of staying here in our house in bedok to make things convenient for myself. My dad had planned to rent our house to his fren and his family.. while keeping 1 room either for ourselves or renting it to another person. They decided to keep de room i'm slping in now so i wanna continue staying here. Really hope my dad wun find any prob with this arrangement.. coz his ans will affect my mum's. So as of now my planning is roughly as follows:

1.If my dad agrees to my suggestion,
a)Get a part-time job immediately (coz i told my mum i'll be paying my own bills, including scv bills, if i live by myself),
b)Apply for ntuc gym membership with via and start going to gym this wk,
c)Apply for driving course @ Comfort Driving Centre in eunos,
d)After getting my driving license (which i intend to get de 1st time round), apply for volunteer @ SPCA.

2.Well.. if unfortunately my dad objects to it,
a)Still get a part-time job asap juz to earn & save more money (coz i got alot of things i wanna buy ),
b)Still apply for ntuc gym membership and go to tpy gym ( altho there'll be guys but it can't be helped),
c)Wait til i move to tpy then apply for driving course @ Singapore Safety Driving Centre in amk,
d)I'll still apply to volunteer @ SPCA after i get my driving license coz it's wat i really wish to do.


Yep those are all my plans so far.. i hope i can keep to them since i'm not known to keep well with wat i always plan. I guess i need to keep working on my will and determination. Perhaps if i get a chance to live independently i'll be able to do so. Good luck to me!

I'm back~! Went to watch White Chicks with Si @ Plaza Sing.. It was damn funny.. i luffed til my stomach hurt. But there're some parts which are realli gross.. like de bulgy, overly-muscled black guy. Those who haven watch it, faster go b4 de cinemas stop showing it!


After de movie, which was arnd 6pm+, we went to parklane for pool. I realli played badly today.. can't aim properly lolz. Arnd 8pm+ i accompanied si to buy beancurd soup for her mum then we took cabs home. (Like i said in my previous post, i'm bcoming a cab's frequent customer..)


After reaching home, i lazed arnd abit talking to my mum and watching tv, then came online in msn to talk crap with my frens, then went to take a bath, and now i'm updating this hehe. Alrite, end of my report for today.. Ciao~

Weee.. juz came back from Janson's bdae celebration.. really tired sia.. but i had alot of fun. I was practically luffing thruout de whole nite to the guys' antics lolz.


Anyway here's a summary of how it went. I met Janson and Kazuki @ orchard @ arnd 6pm.. den Penny came and we went to de coffee beans @ wheelock place to wait for de rest. After dat, Donny, Debbie, Sam, Alex and Ah_9 came (wee i remember all de nicks! ) and @ arnd 8pm we went to de fast food area @ de top floor of shaw tower to have our dinner. Joyce came and after eating we went off to a ktv @ paragon - "Party World", @ arnd 9pm. Wensi, Andrew and Dionysus came to join us while we were singing and then later another girl, Applegal, came too. When it was nearing 1am we decided to cut de bdae cake brought by Dionysus. (Too bad we din get to saboh Janson.. ) After dat we sang our last few songs and i came home while de rest went somewhere else, perhaps to eat supper.


Alrite summary finish lolz. It was really fun and hilarious going to ktv with them. Andrew really sang like a pro.. and actually i think Donny sang quite well too.. when he wasn't goofing off. Took quite a few pics with my digi cam.. heng i got bring coz no one else brought any camera lolz. We oso discussed abit abt de chalet they're going to organise during december dis yr.. i think i can ask my mum abt renting chalet since she works with HDB and can get discounts. I'm really looking forward to de next outing with them.. Ok.. now really very very tired.. i need slp!!! I think i'll upload de pics we took with my digi cam later after i have a good slp.. i'm gonna conk out now..

Phew! Was cleaning my hamsters' cages juz now.. 3 of them man~ Took me like 2 hrs lolz.. But i'm used to it. Plus i like to play with my hamsters.. they're so kawaii~~~!! Like me.. wahaha..


Maybe i'll talk abt my hamsters in today's update since i duno wat else to talk abt lolz. I got a male and female hamster from Halfy in Feb 2004. They were arnd 2 mths old @ dat time and being local hamster breed, were already kinda big. On a beautiful Saturday almost 2 mths later, my mum told me she saw smth in the female's cage (i had to seperate the male and female hamster in 2 cages a wk before coz they were fighting like mad) and asked me to go take a look. I did and (surprise!) i saw 4 very tiny, very naked little babies! (I didn't even realise the female was pregnant, i juz thot she had gotten fatter..) It was the day before my birthday.. and i was thinking, aww 1 more day and we wld have the same birthday lolz.


Well, i can't say they were cute since @ dat time their eyes weren't open and they didn't have any fur.. but when they were arnd 1-2 wks old they were really super uber kawaii~! I didn't dare to touch them tho, coz i heard dat the female might eat up her babies if i do so. Unfortunately, 1 of them didn't make it.. i duno the reason why.. perhaps it didn't get enough milk due to the competition from its siblings.


Anyway, i let the babies stay with their mum until they started fighting among themselves too. I didn't know wat to do coz i cldn't possibly get another 3 cages to put each of them in. Since they cldn't live peacefully together i figured i either had to sell or give a few away. (At dat point i was glad the mother hamster didn't give birth to like 10 hamsters like Halfy's hamster did ) At 1st i didn't bear to sell or give any away but the last straw came when even the mother got hurt.. and by hurt i mean she was bleeding and such. So i took 2 of the babies (already arnd 4-5 wks old by dat time) and sold them to a pet shop @ Serangoon North. I wld prefer to give them to someone i know but it was kinda hard finding someone to adopt them. Well, I hope they're with good owners now.


So now i'm left with the parent hamsters and their kid, a daughter to be precise. (Btw, all the baby hamsters are female by coincidence.) Mmm.. after counting the parents are arnd 10 mths old now and their daughter is 10 more days to 6 mths old hehe. I keep them in 3 seperate cages coz i dowan anymore fighting and dowan anymore baby hamsters haha.


Alrite.. that's it to my hamsters' history. I hope those reading this are not aslp by now. Hee.. and now for the 1 millionth time i'm saying this, i'll definitely get myself a dog in future! Hahaha..
