have a happy happy chinese new year
its e second day of chinese new year and all i can feel is the food in my stomach. i have been eating the whole day. i'm thinking who started the fashion of endless intake of food during festive seasons. i'm gonna charge my diet pills to that dude. in the morning went to the temple (oh there was an funky traffic accident at the entrance.), then to the houses of 2 grand uncles, then came home to nap (because last night i was playing mahjong till about 3), and then went to Dawn's place for dinner. BURRRRRP.
couple of pics from last night.
most of the guys knocked out. only Ck is awake. because he is King.
Mike in his specs and me in my specs. damn rare that we're both looking geeky together.
Mike in my specs and me in Mike's specs. i look crappy here. but he looks kinda cute. oh Mikey aren't you so adorable? everybody loves you.
hahahaha.
self entertainment lah. oh yeah i played Metal Slug 4 with Ck. quite fun! i kept dying. who cares when you're playing on a playstation. if i was in an arcade i probably would have used like 20bucks to finish the missions. when you die, you get more bombs! when you continue, you get machine guns! so it's more worth it to die. and i like the zombie stage. the bombs turn out really cool!
our studio went down to visit our project site on thurs. it's Yan Kit swimming complex, at tanjong pagar. it's really old, since the 1950s. and it's now disused and the swimming pools are empty. it's a damn cool place to run around though. when would you get to jump around at the bottom of a 4m deep pool!!!! we had a hell of a time there. i love the site. but i think it'd be ultra freaky at night. i didn't dare to go into the toilets. 
Kenneth and me. attaining nirvana.
Wingchi and me. simulating what we could do if there was really water. i love this shot!! =D

rwwaaarrrr
am sooooo stuck at design. it's a most sucky feeling. i feel like the most uncreative and cliche designer. die die have to come up with something tmr. totally exciting..oh wells at least something really funny happened in school today. haha. me and a few of my project mates for this module called AR2326 were all ready for tutorial at 4pm today. there's actually 6 of us, but 4 of us kinda met up and thought the other 2 would go by themselves. btw. we're group 17. Kenneth said its at Seminar Room 10 so we happily went in and sat down waiting for the tutor. the tutor kinda blended with us and no one realised until he opened his mouth after a really really long time and said ' i think some of you are in the wrong class.'group 17ers were still chit chatting about Memoirs of a Geisha. Gong Li, Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi being the not bad actress, the Malaysian in Japan and the China girl in Japan. and then somehow we realised that maybe we didn't being to this class. so 4 of us sheepishly scooted out of class amidst the laughter of everyone. off we went to find our class. walked up to 4th floor, rooms empty. came back down. SR9 had year 1s, can't be. looked into SR 11...some familar faces..but lets check the other room. opened SR12 and asked the tutor..'hi..erm. what groups are these?' 'groups 19, 20, 21.' oops. have a nice day. went back to SR11 and did the same check. 'nope. it's group 14,15,16 here.''do you know where's grp 17 supposed to go?''group 17 is next week'dang. that should teach us to read our email carefully. this is a case of being a cock-a-naden, as Kenneth would put it.

mushy post. read on an empty stomach.
it has been half a year. it's not a long time, but it has been a dream come true, of a sweetest love that sweeps me off my feet.he always teases me and asks 'explain. why are you so pretty?' i always just roll my eyes and laugh, because only he says that, and i really don't know what to reply.i think i have found the answer.i am pretty because i am in love with you, and it shows in the smile on my face, the spring in my step, and the peace in my soul.

getting all confused and annoying
there's just sometimes that there's just something bugging you. some specific issue that you were uncomfortable about, but then you felt like maybe you were being paranoid or plain weird thinking about such an issue. and then you keep it to yourself, because you think that people would actually find you retarded for thinking of the issue in question. and then you screw around with your own mind, thinking 'why am i thinking of this? am i too free? i've got better things to worry about! i must be the only moron who's thinking like that. get over it.' and then you can't get over it. finally when you muster enough guts to discuss it with someone close, then you realised that ten thousand people are actually worrying about the same issue, and that you're a donkey for thinking that you're a donkey thinking about that issue. and then you feel more like a donkey that you didn't think that other people think the same way you do. so in the end you're just an ass.
i was thinking about this while brushing my teeth just now. i think about so much weird stuff while brushing my teeth. hmm. maybe other people brushing their teeth think about weird stuff too.so anyway just sharing my bedtime thoughts. i ought to sleep, but i just keep thinking about stupid stuff. i'm still thinking about a particular stuff. but maybe i'll tell it to someone close soon. my throat is still clogged up and today my nose turned from ok to not ok. i can't smell and i can't breathe. so am not in the mood for homework. tmr will be msn studio again. i can be a nice studious kid who says that i will give my 100% to prepare for the 'seminar' tmr so that i can milk all it's worth out of it. but frankly i don't give a damn because i'm sick and i have the right to be a donkey and an ass and be annoying and stubborn.

gur-bur-glup-ah-ing
if you're wondering wassup with the title, this was what i was listening to the whole afternoon. my tutor, this lady called Sofia, has been stuck in Greece since school reopened. apparently the office processing passport renewals is damn cock up and slow and just released her passport today and the earliest flight she can take back here is like this weekend or something. my studio is already 2 studio sessions (read: 8 hours) behind other studios. so today out of desperation we had an MSN studio session. yes. MSN. voice conversation. the wires couldn't stand the 8293 miles between Singapore and Greece, and plus Sofia's heavily accented English, we had a hard time deciphering what she said the whole time. so it was a mixture of typing plus placing our ears close to the speakers, lots of note taking and monkey faces. it is frustrating. bleh. and we gotta do this on thurs too. the most happy sounding word we said to her was 'BYEEE!!!!'. well. she was laughing too. oh, we were using this huge smart screen that must have measured 40inches across. i felt like Vanna White when i pressed the XXL sized buttons on the tap screen. we were contemplating playing the online version of Wheel of Fortune. teeheee.about my last post, i was damn pissed off with Mike because he overslept on me for the second time in 2 weeks. i was outside his place and gave him thirty missed calls and some more on his house phone but he just couldn't hear it. so i went home. after that i was pissed for the whole time. after he (finally) woke up he came over and was rather apologetic about it. i got more pissed and tickled and angry and entertained all at the same time. so all was well soon after. we then went to Junwen's place for a bbq. it ended up quite an enjoyable night :)shall go catch up on some beauty sleep. i've been sleeping late and now i've got a sore throat and a cough that seems to be only getting worse. serves me right.

a bloody bad afternoon
woke up at noon today feeling the cramps. i thought it would get better but it didn’t. my stupid uterus felt like it was twisted, compressed and kicked around. tried to distract myself by watching the ‘De-Lovely’ dvd passed to me by Mon which has been lying around for months (the film was the best past of my day. it’s really good! romantic, abstract, sad.)
at 5 pm i couldn’t take it anymore. i usually just tide the pain out but today i had to pop one of those pink pills. then i curled up on my bed to get a nap.
just now, my phone rang and it was a new number. in my drowsiness i picked it up.
omg i shouldn’t have. it was D from California Fitness!!! *drumroll of some scary movie* i became as rude and curt i could be. D sounded cheerful and enthusiastic.
(i am not a rude and curt person. it is just because D is highly irritating and incompetent and just way weird, and tries to flirt at all the wrong times. D is a fitness consultant with Cali Fitness. i mentioned him before in one of my previous posts less than a month ago. me and Mon avoid him like the plague. in addition to terrorizing us, he bugs our friends as well. all of them find him irritating.)
‘hi, is it miss vera?’
‘yes’
‘hello! It’s D from Cali Fitness! do you remember me??’
‘yes (fuck you)’
‘have you been coming to Cali?’
‘no’
‘why not?’
‘i don’t like the place’
‘hmm…why?’
‘it’s just not my type of place.
‘how many times have you been here?’
‘once’
‘what class did you go for?’
‘dance’
‘oh…dance ah? izzit ----- (lists out all dance classes)’
‘jazz’
‘hmm i checked your record..it says you only came once on 17dec..’
(fuck you. check already still ask me how many times I went)
‘yes’
‘why you don’t wanna come? izzit because you don’t wanna see me?’
‘errrr…i just don’t like the place, tt’s all’
‘did you have a personal trainer the last time you came?’
‘nope’
‘do you want me to arrange one for you? it’s free..’
‘no it’s ok i don’t need a personal trainer’
‘are you sure?’
‘yes i don’t need one’
‘you’re schooling right? after school you can come down you know…’
‘yeah maybe’
‘so when’s the next time you’re coming?’
‘i’m not sure..’
‘why..busy ah?’
‘kinda.’
‘or izzit you don’t want to see me?’
‘i’m sorry i don’t need to flirt with you. i need to go do something now.’
‘oh…i’m sorry for disturbing you (fuck you)..hope to see you again soon..’
‘bye’
nin na beh. fucking waste 3 minutes of my talk time.

goodbye 2005, and hello to a sucky school term
my new timetable sucks in every way possible. not only do i have a 5 day week, i start as early as 9am on 3 days, and end at 6pm EVERYDAY. WTF. i have FIVE core modules. omg i think i am going to die.
on happier stuff, had steamboat dinner with Mike and his buddies over at his place for NYE. it was a nice and relaxed dinner and Mike's mum prepared so much food!! as usual. no wonder i am getting fat hahaha.
that's Mike, Jamie, CK and Ray.
Bambi-with-lighted-ass and me.
after dinner we slacked around for abit before starting on mahjong. there's this funny thing that happens to me. if i drink, i win. it's happened twice already. i start off losing. but when i have some alcohol, somehow things pick up really fast, and i think Ray's gonna take away my beer next time.
taken when we stopped for the countdown. happy 2006!
yesterday, my relatives from my mum's side all came over for dinner. my mum as usual cooked her best dishes. dawn's favourite is her pig stomach and fish maw soup. she made otah, sweet and sour pork, garlic prawns and dunno-wads-tt-called vege. my aunties brought chicken fried with dried chili, roasted duck and apple strudel. Janet made a orange mascarpone tart. it was a feast.
and yet another feast just now. my big auntie cooked my favourite 'bueh-chye' with fatty pork. i ate a plate of that. and there was chicken curry. YUMYUMYUM. i had 3 servings. and i finished up the curry. wahahaha. and then there was a huge bowl of grass jelly. slurp.
met up with Mike in the afternoon for lunch. we ate at Delifrance, and then went to get this faulty Mathmos Airswitch exchanged, and the too-small Adidas running singlet exchanged too. after all my nagging -_-
walked around Citylink and Suntec for awhile before we went over to his place for awhile.
this is how Michael looks like after i'm done with him ;)
anw. he is not feeling well. poor boy. he has gone to sleep already. hope he gets better tmr!
