Earworm: Thanks for the memories - Fall Out Boy

Mother's Day Celebration at my grandma's place just now. There was an overload of food, expecially in the most fat-accumulating ones! The array of Satay, Asam Pedas, Fried Fish, lots of other very oily food and sweet tea can for sure increase my sugar level. But that aside, thank god for very bitter Guava, awesome Dragon Fruit and Red Ruby Grapefruit Juice. Also, with my malai-ren relatives, watching Wang Zi Bian Qing Wa and Return Of The Condor Heroes seriously cracks me up real bad, especially when people who seemingly don't understand Chinese tries to explain to someone who can't understand Chinese either. Ah, the family i have.

Jurong Point expedition no. ?? with Purselyn on thursday all over again. This time i wasted money on tasteless food at Sakae Sushi, while my loaded friend enjoyed her Salmon Sashimi. Then it was Jersey trying, showing off our full potential on how crazy girls can go over Germany and Korea. For all i know, Taeguk Warriors has a special place in my heart and wearing the Jersey makes everything a sentimental moment. Ask my friend too, who was jhtrjrijrj over Germany.

I'm pretty excited over teaching primary school kids at the school on Friday nights and Saturday mornings. Even though getting paid is good, but that's secondary to me. I guess a bigger satisfaction comes from helping children get their work understood and done. Like what everyone else thinks, perhaps i'm really cut out to be a teacher. Kindergartens, here i come!!

(Hello, Sharon Ng is apparently very mean to me, thankyouverymuch)

Alright, so i'm off for a week 2 week hiatus? to prepare for the upcoming mock exams. During these 2 weeks, which i'm going to put full concentration on my revision, i'm gonna make sure the results come out nice. Wish me luck :D

Earworm: Innocence - Avril Lavigne

Pasir Panjang Food Centre (FINALLY) for dinner. The usual of Kangkong Belachan, Chilli and Pepper Crabs, Mussels, Cereal Prawns and Sugarcane Dinks in excess makes me a very happy girl. Even though i was way too overdressed, thanks to communication breakdown on the dinner location, i managed to put away all the glam down and wear a huge napkin, just to dig my hands into delicious food. Now, although i smell of seafood and reek of chilli, i still am satisfied :D

Seeing the Ice Cream Man in full force below my block, my dad and i ran as though 1000000 Bucks were being given away. After much wondering and deciding, Raspberry Ripple is still the only comfort food i stick to. It might seem childish, but getting way too squeamish over ice-cream being sold this way is a natural reaction for me. Plus at 1 Buck for a HUGE, and i mean HUGE serving of Ice-Cream and awesome coloured bread, i really can't ask for anything more.

Ohhkay, Jung Ji Hoon has got me beaming with pride for being the No 1 most influential person, as voted for Time's Magazine. Ah, the splendour of the Hallyu. Now i know, more than ever, those t-shirt making times, learning the Korean songs lyrics and getting the best seats at his concert were TOO worth it. Moreover, if it wasn't for him, my Sundays wouldn't be eaten up by Korean lessons across the street. (Okay, i still wish i was Lee Hyori)

Sorry, but yet another Korean drama serial? I'm hooked on The Devil, my new reason to come home early after school. If you're over the romantic, funny, cute rich-boys-like-poor-girl scenarios, this show will take it off the hook. 20 episodes filled with suspense, murder, Charmed-like powers and the hot Joo Ji Hoon, you're in for a different Hallyu wave.

School has been extremely draining and tiring. But it is needless to say, productive. I've got too much homework and too little time. For last night and now, Algrbra + Indices = Braincell zap optimizers. With Literature on mondays and Sciences on Tuesday and Friday, the one week break that's coming up, more than 13 hours a day will be dedicated to sleeping. Bed, bed come to me!!

My Schedule:
Monday: Literature
Tuesday: Biology and Chemistry
Wednesday: Social Studies and Geography
Thursday: Maths
Friday: Biology and Chemistry :'(

You could be happy, i won't know.

Earworm: Be the girl - Aslyn

Alright, one more shot at Changi Airport for extremely worth it dinner of Swensen's accompanied by 8 other awesome people who seriously made my day. Even though i hate being labelled as a french-fry kid, i indulged in sinful amounts dipped in tartar sauce and chilli. Also, poking my fork into everyone else's plate, tasting everything i can (I pretend i am not sick), but i still enjoyed my Crayfish Pasta. Also, Cafe Latte and Bagel with Cheese Spread from Starbucks definitely made my night. Lastly, a nice bag filled with scrumptous chocolates and heart-shaped pins from daddy, i really can't ask for more. Next step, i might just camp there one fine day.

Grandma's house after school on friday to cure my annoying sickness. I was fed Ginger drink, weird tea leaves and dates i've never seen in my entire life. Lunch and dinner was fish soup all the way! which i adore, and being taken care of by my grandpa's weird sense of humour and the knacks of the television. Kim Possible + Grandparent's house + A little bit of camwhoring = Getting better.

All i want is just to be a song,

that you can feel longer than just right now.

Ah, Strepsils. Thank you for making my day. Without doctors and MCs, you definitely have got what it takes to make bad throats alright :D

I swear i'm hooked playing Saucer Snaps on Sanrio. Weird website i know but my afternoons from school are spent pairing cups together and this could be an addiction for a very long time. No more Sudoku, it's time for Jap fun. Plus the discovery of too CUTE Hello kitty Luggages and a adorable-like-hell Cat plush toy, it's time to whish out my dad's Credit Card.

So, Goodbye

Earworm: If everyone cared - Nickelback

Attended a relative's wedding yesterday. Finally, no more HDB flat bottoms for your important day. Although the location sounded rather old (Kampung Ubi Community Centre), the atmosphere was way better compared to eating good food beside parking lots. Perhpaps the location did the atmosphere justice, i was taken back by the Kompang Boys, which i have never ever been interested in. But what i enjoyed most was the food, which i absolutely adore. Seriously, Malay Food overload makes me an extremely happy girl.

Celebrated my Grandma's 78th Birthday at Sakura, Omni Theater. Albeit a weird location (HELLO, my childhood science moments was created from those 360 Degrees screens alright), i enjoyed the food pretty much and specially fell in love with it's ice cream. Now, i'm badly addicted to Yam Ice Cream. Speaking of which, i had Yam Cake last night? Ah, it's just the Yam i think.

Met up with Zhiling at VivoCity on friday. Not seeing her for 5 years makes time spent even more fun. Going from shop to shop, seeing everything and buying nothing, only to end up with Coffee Bean Ice Blended and 2 Nail Polishes. With a friend like her, years apart doesn't make any difference as you realise, if you click, you click.

I've invested my time creating an absolutely fun-packed Blogging device at Cyworld. With the functions that i am so addicted to, its no wonder that my blog now spells B-O-R-I-N-G. Nevertheless, i wont abandon this blog, but at Cyworld, entries are typed almost everyday.

JUST 4 days after my Bangs, i have decided to give it up. Somehow, it looked nice at the Salon but after everyone's weird reactions, sticking to old-time hair styles is the best way to play safe. Maybe i might switch back to it after some time, but for now, i just want my fringe to grow back. Grow hair, GROW!

Caught 200 Pound Beauty last week. Unlike all other typical Korean tearjerkers, this movie set my heart ablaze as i related myself to the main character. Throughout the entire movie, 75% of the time was spent grabbing the edge of my seat, wanting to jump out and scream "Na Ara, We Apayo". As much as i'd like to say Kim Ah Joong did an excellent job, i can't forgive her for being in Rain's CF. In any case, Click HERE to watch the movie.

Chandee- i didn't turn up cause i had school. but update me about it!

Purse- hahah i so am. i just love myself a little too much

Sharon- I love your hair. its cute and i like mohawks. Haha

Earworm: Break it off - Sean Paul Feat Rihanna

Food overload today. First a Fish Burger treat from mummy to bait me out of the house just so i would attend the Adam Khoo Learning Strategies seminar (updates of this in the next paragraph) to which i conceeded defeat to, than an early dinner, at an alarming time of 455PM for Claypot Noodle, Hotplate Beancurd, Youtiao and Sparkling Passionfruit Juice. Followed by an even earlier supper at Takashimaya's Coffee Club for Muddy Mud Pie, Fresh Fruit Fondue and Cafe Latte. All this in a mere span of 4 hours? Darn it, there goes my weight-loss regime again.

So, as mentioned although i was dragged, pulled, yanked or whatsoever you use as a noun to describe actions of unwillingness, i enjoyed myself at the Adam Khoo Seminar. Presented by Stuart Tan, a master coach for AKLTG, i had fun raising my hands to answers which were not exactly what would make my mummy proud of. Within 2 hours, i got information which i needed and which would make me smarter. Despite giving my full attention, my mum tried all means (imagine all those unwilling nouns again) to sign me up for the camp courses but failed.

I'm spoilt for choice.

The Samsung SGH-I320N(!!!!) or the Blackberry 8800?

An introduction to my new Spa Bathtub. Yes, it is a Therpeautic Spa Bathtub made just for home use. I must say, it is becoming quite addictive and i'm no longer shunning away from bath oil smells anymore. I'm not saying it has weight loss effects yet since i'v only used it twice since purchasing it 2 weeks ago, but it doesn't mean it won't help you lose weight. If anyone's interested, contact me on my mobile or an e-mail will do because i'm a distributor too.

Keep your hands off my candyman

School has been awesome. Though i still have some difficulties being accustomed to the new way of learning, i'm trying to make sure it becomes easy peasy by next week. 3 hours of non-stop learning is hectic and heavy, causing me to be lazy and sleeping for too many hours plus!! not wanting to clean my bedroom. I swear beyond infinity swear that i need a personal room maid to whisk dirt out of my room.

I would love YOU this way too.

Not being in love for 2 whole years makes this new one feel even more exciting. How can a mere 20 minutes change your life, you ask yourself. But time does not control anything and you know it. I'm going all out to make sure you're not getting out of sight. For once, i know for sure you're mine. So love, let's make this work.

nobody knows about you,
only i do.

Earworm: Beautiful Liar - Beyonce Feat Shakira

Earle Swensen's is currently my favourite addiction. Who knew that menus with not much variety could actually be perfect in almost all of it's dishes. I loved my Cajun Salmon Grill, which was orgasmically delicious, plus my family's good for 2 Crayfish Pasta and Chicken Baked Rice with an overload of cheese. The Salad Bar had excellent greens and awesome dressing. I think the high point definitely had to be ICE-SO-NICE-CREAM moments. I never thought that Banana Split taste this nice. Good food = Good mood, but i didn't manage to dig money out of my dad :'( Next up, Fig & Olive.

My drink and the lighting above the table.

I'm Happy, okay?

I am hooked watching The Hills Season 2. It is the ONLY reason i have been rushing home from school everyday. With more hook-ups and fall-out's on screwed birthdays, there is nothing else i'd rather watch. And seeing best friends just laugh, it makes me miss mine even more :(

he's like tainted"

Lunching with Purse is becoming a habit and it's been fun. From trying expensive pasta to getting hooked on MOS Burger's Fish Burger and Milk Tea, going shop to shop at Jurong Point without getting tired of it has proven that good company and random laughs can for sure, put you in high spirits.

Went through the SPCA's website and i'm putting my heart out to this Kitten which i absolutely adore. She's the cutest and the one which caught my eye. With the name Patches, i think people would understand why she's the one for me.

1 2 3 4 My Way!

School has been real productive. With new techniques taught on how to understand better, and the ideal environment to listen and pay attention, it's no wonder i can absorb all that's been taught the past week. With an A- for my first assignment, i am eager to push myself once again and do well. Kudos too to Sharon and Herbal Tea Eggs who have been my constant companion and will be all year long.

Purse- I lOVE hanging out with you. more lunch dates soon okay?

Josephine- i think it's confirmed that i'm going to HK in June, i'm excited!!!

Gwen- Sure, we'll meet up for school food okay? I'm hungry already. Haha

Over at the Esplanade for dinner with my family. Although it was a tad disappointing, weird conversations with my parents on South African guys and Japanese girls, seeing K.F Seetoh toast to ang-mohs whom hardly understood a word he said, let's just put it that atmosphere plays a HUGE part in making any meal fun. That said, my Peppery Chicken wasn't that bad, just not as satisfiying as i wanted it to be.

Rain's Coming World Tour 06/07 is being extended. I'm now in the LET-ME-WIN-A-TICKET-TO-SEE-HIM-AGAIN!!!!! mood. Hoping and praying that while i watch MTV Chinese obediently, the advert of "giveaway tickets" pops up and i'd be lucky. Although that only happens, really, once in a blue moon, i still strongly believe in miracles.

Rain's Coming World Tour In Taiwan: 31st March 2007

Rain's Coming World Tour In Shanghai: 14th April 2007

Receiving the parcel from Melanie has got my excitement level to the fullest. With everything i wanted and more, this has got to be the best surprise yet. Especially the Rain's World Special Edition CD Set, which is something i am HELL PROUD OF. Now, Singapore might have it, but the sentimental value of "Made In Korea" strikes a chord in my heart, okay.

SpongeBob SquarePants TV Set and DVD Player.

Next up, UNO Disney Princess and Harry Potter Versions.

Toys R Us with Purselyn on wednesday. Despite it being an spontaneous act at first, we somehow transform into extreme kiddo-s, trying desperately to get some attention from passerbys. Screaming at the sight of millions!(Almost) of Barneys, laughing too hard at Mr. Potato being a ghost and taking pictures until all shoes fall off, we actually fought over bubbles. I shall just admit that despite being 17, i'm nothing like it.

One of my favourite animated films is back. Shrek The Third, now better than ever, packed with more Shrek and Fiona, Baby Shrek and Dronkeys! Being the avid fan, i was actually stuck at the motion picture website, getting pissed over not winning Sudoku and the Memory Game Shrek style. In any case, the wait is OGRE! :D

-

Gwen- I haven't been to town in forever. Busy being at home, hitting the books and missing you, yes YOU.

Sharon- I can't wait to see you in 2 days' time!

Josephine- Think i will just stick to buying legal DVD's for now. Haha

Earworm: Worn me down - Rachael Yamagata

Dinner-ed at my grandma's place, towing huge boxes of Chicken Rice and Chap Choy, just to curb hunger pangs of 7 hungry adults. The sight of grandma dearest with a swollen mouth thanks to dentists definitely breaks my heart. Moments like this never fails to make me feel very guilty for living so far from her. Still, i had fun eating too much Calbee Crackers (In all flavours!) and Cornetto Ice Cream. It's time for Cellulose Pills and Slimming Teas!

Jurong Point with Purse on thursday. As usual, we entertained ourselves with the normal antics of being stupid and making too much noise, whilst taking pictures of almost everything. Ending up in Toys R Us never fails to shrink ages and bring out, literally, the child in us. Without a doubt, it's days like this that put the F in the Fun. Plus us being all crazy at the Arcade, again trying our best, squeezing out all brain juices just to get a 9th and 10th placing for the memory game and terrible shooting at a booth.

Just Follow Law is an absolute must-watch! To see Fann Wong being a total unglam and a movie literally expressing on how oh-so-bitchy the government is, this is the only time to laugh your heads off at how Singaporeans can be really stupid in actually wanting to follow the rules. Afterwhich, we can just switch back to being good citizens, singing the National Anthem when needed and covering the government's butt holes when required.

Seeing The Singapore Fyler with my very own eyes was exhilarating. Squealing at the sight of it, slowly going back to the first time when i was placed in a Ferris Wheel. This time, it's far better than what we had and extremely advanced. Those 30 Pax capsules have definitely made me excited.

This week has allowed me to display my hidden Culinary Extraornaire. I actually succeeded in making White Sauce Pasta, Garlic Butter Prawns, Tofu Soup and Prawns Tempura. Now, the only reason to why the usage of Prawns are overly excessive is i found them in excess in the freezer. Although the Tempura batter was a little soft, i'm still in wonder on how my Garlic Butter Prawns turned out near perfect. Anthony Bourdain should be proud of me. After all, i watch No Reservations religiously.

A new TV recommendation after the awesome Snow Queen. I'm Sorry, I Love You would definitely bring out the crying child in you, holding onto endless amounts of tissue boxes. I still don't know how Korean shows always manage to squeeze everything we enjoy watching in just 16 episodes. Than again, we should't be complaining while handsome actors conquer the screen.

Jaryne- Do come back soon alright? It feels so weird without you here. Please contact me, i miss you too much love :'(

Sharon- The song is nice :) You have good taste classmate.

Purse- You have EXCELLENT ENGRISSH! hahah eew, i hate that sick girl who has bad grammar

Gwen- Your dream is mega funny i swear. Perhaps, we should conquer the world together?

Earworm: Ride for you - Danity Kane

Sakae Sushi at Changi Airport with the family last night. Parents over at the Teppanyaki section while the sister and i pig-ed out over at the Sushi bar. After too many plates and getting the wrong bill, i ended up with a pay yourself message from daddy. But, parents being parents, they'll spend the money for now. One little expenditure for myself, an Easter Bunny at 1SGD. Too cute to be eaten, i'll just have it for keeps.

My first Korean lesson this afternoon was an eye opener. After being late, only did i realise i signed up for Korean Basic 2 instead of 1(!!!!). But despite being lost at first, to be named a fast learner by the teacher is worth it. And sitting beside a man thrice my age is entertaining, thanks to free Coffee and Sandwiches, while having small talks about Opera and mid-life crisis. My Korean obsession has definitely paid off.

Caught I'm A Cyborg But That's Okay with the mum just now. For people whom enjoy dark humour and reading between lines, this is the movie for you. If not, you'd probably wasting time and money trying to understand the plot and language. Though for me, i had a blast laughing at hallucinations come true and french kissing 360 Degrees. Chuwa!

My hand-made chocolate wrapper clip!

So, no more Goong S :( No more squealing over Lee Hoo and Yang Soon, no more throne seizing moments. Its time to face reality, that prince and princess-es are just not for me. Still, for all the full pledged tai-tai's with too much time to spare, recommendations of a few good shows would do you good.

1) The Snow Queen (For K-Drama lovers, this will satisfy you)

2) Ugly Betty (The No.1 laugh at sitcom for now)

3) Ya Shim Man Man

4) Super Junior Full House

It's time to be a big girl now,
and big girls don't cry

UOB Marathon with my mum this morning. Turning up at Raffles UOB with the most unsightly hair and rotten track shoes, only to realise how big the event was. But being spurred on by the cheerleaders to walk faster, receiving free goodies + cold drinks definitely made all those horrible whining worth it. The best part had to be being forced on stage, playing the most unglam version (EVER!) of Scissors Paper Stone, only to win a shoe bag.

Crossed over the causeway yesterday. After being persuaded that it is not dangerous in the afternoon, i had a blast being there eating the most reasonably priced HOTEL meal and scouring for the best magazines. For those who actually love fashion, Ray is definitely the best fashion mag for the Asian Girl. Really, they put Cleo to shame. For only 8RM, this is way beyond worth it.

Vivocity with my mum on friday. It was the typical mother-daughter bonding session, filled with hand-holding and food sharing. Not forgetting throwing all our money away to satisfy cravings of Marks&Spencer's ever-delicious sweets and Tim Tam. Plus, The Chicken Rice Shop actually made my day.

Retaking my O Levels is definitely a difficult step to take. Now that i've only 4 subjects to study on, there should be no reason to slack or whatsoever. No more Korean show watching, its time to give this one shot my best.

Goodbye Chinese New Year!

One last family steamboat gathering before we keep the chopsticks and wait till another year. As always, shuffling chopsticks and soup ladles between 2 very handy Hotpots, is my idea of fun. Despite not eating as much compared to Pre-New-Year, which is an EXCELLENT thing, let's all agree that family time + Steamboat is the best combination ever. Bye hotpot!

Hang out session with Purse on friday. Watching movies, window shopping and Sakae Sushi was pure entertainment. Switching between Japanese Buffet and my Salmon Teriyaki Bento, making the best out of our weirdest "Boy Topic" conversation yet, we actually managed to have fun albeit the horrible cold rain. That said, reliving moments in the Arcade, giving it our best at the Bishi Bashi Champ kiosk really does bring out the 10 year old in us.

We caught The Pursuit Of Happyness, which was a major tear-jerker. All those moments of fatherly love just gives us reasons why we should (NEVER!!) quarrel with our parents. Hence, this movie is a definite family bonder. (Did i mention Jaden Smith is the ultimate bomb?)

I miss the Noob Troop already, oh dear.

If you thought i got over it,
i just got better at keeping it to myself.

Josephine- I had fun reading yours too! Shanghai sounds like fun :)

ViVo fun with Pang today. Loitering from shop to shop, trying to pretend like we actually had money and trying hell-hard to reject Chocolates at Candy Empire. Not forgetting the Great Food Adventures of Hokkien Mee, Ban Mian and Ben&Jerry's. The only successful buys were 2 Packets of Oven baked Banana Yoghurt Mini Meal, in which we agreed on the "Yeah, it tastes healthy" policy. So for the half malay girl who speaks better chinese and for the chinese girl who speaks way too much malay, we've become the classic example of Singapore's excellent multi-racial Asian country.

And so we bid Adieu to the one show that kept my heart thumping for the past 3 years during every single episode, not to mention a few teary ones. To sandy beaches and too-good-to-be-true couple romances, The O.C, you've been good to me.

The discovery of 2 exhilarating concerts is probably the best thing that could happen. Switching between some Singapore Lovin' and Korean songs-singing, this is definitely my thing.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Yesterday was filled with family time of hand-shaking, prosperity wishing and Ang Pao(!!) receiving. Shoving down hours and hours of food, steamboat style or not, has never been this guilt free. For once too, i indulged in Lou Hei a little too much as it has proven much to be the secret to great makings of the future.

Reunion meal(s) was 3 rounds of swishing soup ladles admist the 2 hot steamboats slurping the best Sea Cucumber soup broth and putting everything in my favourite handmade chilli sauce. Like how Kylie Kwong would describe it as "This is a magical moment", it indeed is, not only in satisfiying my stomach but also in increasing my waistline.

I've been particularly delighted about this year's celebration for some reason. Eye bags and the worst flu ever are the results of lack of sleep due to new year excitement. As of now, i've to stop shoving way too much food down my throat and nurse the painful nose.

Kiss me, beneath the milky twilight.

A few good TV recommendations this festive season. Believe me, these 2 shows will get you hooked.

1) What Star Did You Come From? (Starhub Cable Ch 55)

Korean shows never fail to make me use up boxes of tissue for crying over too funny and sad moments.

2) Hana kimi (Starhub Cable Ch 9)

The funniest yet, cross dresser on the most hilarious Taiwanese drama serial to date.

Purse- yes meet up soon, perhaps within this week? we can camwhore the entire time and stuff our faces at Sakae!

I spent 3 days at my grandma's place, indulging in good food and good company. Passed time with the help of the Television (Oh, almighty!), excellent DVD's (Rain's Concert and My Fair Lady) and too much sleep. Whilst being there, a visitation to the Courts and Ikea Megastore was an overwhelming experience. I became too excited over normal furniture and relished in familiar songs of N Sync and Backstreet Boys. All in all, this three day getaway was filled with surprises and never ending fun. The only downsides was the warm dreary weather and too many mosquito bites.

I never knew choosing courses would literally drain all ounces of energy in me. After all those contemplations of this and that, i finally got down to putting my bet on Business Information Technology, which i am slowly trying to embrace and accept. Hopefully, Ngee Ann Poly would set me a place.

The 100 Chairs Auction was chair-mazing. With what seemed as an ugly old chair, wistful wishings of paint brushes and imaginative painters, the results were nothing near bad. A pity the chair auction is over, for i'd have bid with my 2 cents worth.

Yesterday was Valentine's Day, and yet i'm single :'( I guess i'm starting the "i wish i had a boyfriend" instances again. No roses, chocolate hearts, sweet notes, heart warming messages and romantic outings. Yes, i dread being single now but there's a constant reminder in my mind that says Love, is a bitch. Get over it, Natasha.

Spent yesterday with Pang over at Holland V, Coffee Bean. Seeing her doing her work makes me miss school all over again. I actually miss getting stressed out over too tough maths questions. Admist weird stares from talking too loud and a messy table, i always manage to enjoy unexplainable moments and become too excited over "Oh my god, i was in the exact situation as you!" conversations. Let's just say girls will always be girls.

I'm halfway through my highway code book now, but the answers dont seem to fit in like how i remembered. With more brushing up, i hope to excel in the theory section as soon as possible. To everyone else in the same position as me, peh-leasse read every single word in the book. After all, its not that thick.

I've decided that although the Lexus RX300 is my baby, but its tad too costly for my parents. So, my other option is the sweet babycake Nissan March and i'm sure i'll stick with it. Well, at least for the next 3 years i hope.

Meet the cutest bread i've ever seen.

The results are out on Friday, 230 PM. Nervous was always on my list, but EXTREME NERVOUSNESS has never occured. Trying to narrow down the possibilities of what could be the cause of a bad result. Despite that, results could turn out good. Not excellent, but fine enough to get my course in Ngee Ann Poly.

Pasir Panjang Food Centre for dinner on saturday. The food was as always, mighty fine. Read: Omelette, Cereal Prawns, Chilli Crab, Black Pepper Crab, Kankong Belachan and Sugar Cane Drink. Halfway through excitement and eating, my camera battery went flat and sadly, only 3 pictures were taken.

Prata i loveee you...

Jaryne- results!results!its killing me, but on the other hand we shouldnt worry since we studied. even if we didnt study that hard, at least we studied what was required of us. so, lets pray for better :)

Finally shared my love of Korean laugh-off movies of Dangerous Love and Goong s. Not forgetting the "Pork" incident and true gore Saw 3 which i was reluctant to watch. Although baking was a failure(too much of this, too little of that), funny laugh out loud moments and chocolate mouths made it all up.

Girl put your record on

tell me your favourite song

I am currently hooked on Corrine Bailey Rae. She is the epitome of happiness in my life. Its crazily orgasmic and terribly addictive to listen to. Maybe its the voice, maybe its the lyrics, maybe its both. Whatever it is, this is awesome bliss.

This is my favourite dream bag for school. It is ultra spacious and ultimately comfortable to hold on to. So people, please be generous :)

jaryne- i hope you get better sweetheart.by than, you can hang out with me and go crazy all over again!
sharon- ah i'll see you pretty soon.and you better sing/scream your lungs out with me during KTV sessions :)

Happy 15th Bday Natalia :D

From this:

To this:

Thank you for being the constant companion in my life. For all those Korean crazy moments and yelling my name during Rain's concert, i enjoyed every moment of it. Of wacky laughters and horrible jokes, i still love you despite sweaty hands and terrible sleeping disorders. Not forgetting the common things between us : Samsung phones, Creative MP3 Players, Crumpler Bags and Daisy&Twinkles.Now more than ever, i truly understand why we're sisters. Love :)

Celebrated my sister's birthday at Changi Airport, Swensens. The only reason why we drove that far was to see Arrivals/Departures of Seoul, Incheon. Relished in excellent food of Crayfish Pasta, Seafood Platter and Choco Malt Icecream. Despire failed attempts to see airplanes fly, we managed to encapsulate little children jumping too excitedly over, lemme say nothing.

Everyone, meet Twinkles. The present for my sister.

Oh My!You're 21 :)

Ah, damnit you're looking so damn fine, YOU.

Raspberry Ripple + Nutella = Bliss

Bring in the chocos for CNY!!!

Sharon- our soon NEVER comes, so the next time either one of us text each other, write a day/date so we can confirm our meetings!
Jaryne- getting results are sure as hell scary. but its good both of us have our futures planned out. you'll go design your life away while i psycho the hell outta people. HAHA

So you sailed away,

into a grey sky morning.

Ended up at my grandma's place today. Her everyday calls to me makes me feel terribly guilty for staying too far from her. And after a hefty terrible ride to Tampines (I havent took the train there since my dad bought a car, which is one yr ago), i managed to find the block filled with my childhood memories,in which i found my Barbie picture and Barbie skates :D I finally passed my Godma her belated Birthday present after a hault of one week. I hope you like it!

Was supposed to meet Heidi at Conrad Hotel for Venture Era's ballroom event. But sadly, i couldnt make do the dress code(It was white top and black bottoms) so i'd to give it a miss. I am quite disappointed since it was dress up and ballroom events = good food. :( , next time i guess.

I left out a few more pictures from Rain's Concert. The only reason why there isnt much pictures of Rain is due to the lighting effects, which refract back to the camera lens and i end up taking light instead of him. And i'd like the explain Newspaper articles about people turning up for Rain's Concert only to see his washboard abs and not for his Korean songs, which you "Don't understand at all". Apparently, you dont seem to notice that i sang all his songs till my throat went horribly pain. So, i like Rain for his everything, you?

I love The O.C Season 4 too much. Sorry, but everything's more shimmery without Marissa. Have i mentioned how much i love Ryan and Taylor together? And not forgetting Peaches?! Awesome season :)

Ah, the perks of being a student.I definitely am gonna miss it. Note: Student means one with a uniform, not clothe-wearing Poly and Uni students which i happily am gonna end up as.

What i miss:
1) Student deals ESP from Sakae Sushi and Seoul Garden
2) Other student promotions from Pastamania and Yoshinoya
3) The cheap thrills from inexpensive train and bus rides, without having to tap when you alight
4) Not having to ponder what to wear for school the next day. It was the IJ Blue for me for the past 11 years.

I miss being a Convent Girl :(

Dayme it, why does turning 18 have to be so dreadful? On a happier basis, i'll start my highway code learning today and when i turn eight-shit-een, i'll drive my own car, according to my mummy dearest.

-

Jaryne- haha i know. and now my tortoise stares into the blue sky all day. I think she's mastering the art of stoning. Mwaha. Thank god Binxy appeared last night.
Sharon- Doubt he's coming back anytime soon :( i miss him like hell, he was so hot.

Liane- haha he sure does the Kimchi right. The concert was awesome beyond awesome.I was near the stage, go see the pictures above!!its small cause i used my phone's camera.and meet me soon,monday perhaps?lets go for a movie :)

Best i ever had- Vertical Horizon

Rain's Concert was orgasmic.Better than anything i could ever ask for.

Rain's concert was the bomb. From the lighting, sound effects, graphics, the props (Read: Life size submarine, rain machine, a bed and a conveyer belt) , the dancers and down to Rain himself, it was beyond what i expected. 2 hours of pure entertainment, with non stop high-pitched screams and lots of video-caming moments.If you were there, you'd understand why the tickets were sky-high expensive.

Although the queue was a bitch and humans becoming inhuman at the merchandise station, the entire concert was Awesome Mawsome. No need for special guests or flying in the air gadgets, that one man show stole my heart away.

Being the crazy fangirl, the shirt i made was -perfect thanks to Korean words and the perfect picture of Rain. And for today, i'm broke thanks to the over-priced T-shirts and Cap. Despite money being wasted, everything was oh-so worth it.

For everything, Jung Ji Hoon I Love You.
You put the damn Kim in the Chi.

The next time i fly to Korea, Korean Air it is.

Like the girl i always am, i miss everything already :(

Jaryne- hahah its true.when it tells you to do something, its always right so we should listen.Yes,meet me real soon and lets go shopping!!!!! Rain's concert was cool.

Finally managed to satisfy my craving for McD's breakfast of Hotcakes, Maple Syrup and Hashbrown. Despite melted butters and tasteless tea, breakfast has never tasted so good in a really long time. And thanks to my sister, who ended up craving for McD's brekkie too, paying the bill didnt hurt as much.

I found the closest thing to heaven, in the form of Instant Mashed Potato. For SGD 3.95, filled with too many patato powder sachets and one cup, i think i'd have to give up my diet plan really.

Again i baked Nutella Cupcakes, just that this time was hearts instead of swirls. And i succeeded once more, just that too much Nutella in the centre isnt as nice as being smeared all over. Conclusion, when a recipe tells you to swirl Nutella, you swirl Nutella.

Tonight will be one of the last few Rain Karaoke sessions before the concert to die for tomorrow night. After 2 months of endless waiting, ticket confirming, Korean song singing and envying, its finally here. For everything i've waited for, tomorrow is the night of smexy dance moves and the hottest smile. The best thing is, i'm acutally sitting near the stage although i didnt pay for the most expensive ticket :)

So i didnt turn up for Ngee Ann Poly open house like i promised. But i'll head down for a visit some time soon. And its confirmed, our results are out on 8th Feb, which is good and well, terrifiying.

sharon- i'll see you soon!that soon better come soon :)

jaryne- i'll bring you out for good food soon! i'll go visit you next time,i need to go IMM for food too

Spending time with my mum has been frequent recently. Follwed her to run some errands at Raffles Place(Which looks really nice), had some x-ray done, bought a summer dress,met up with her friends and indulged in food and older people conversations. Than it was Vivocity venture, and finally got my hands on B&J. Not to mention we caught One Last Dance, which was excellent. I havent watched a movie that good in a really long time. The movie really made me go 'Oh, i never thought of that'.

I was clearing stuff and OMF i found this and a few months back i found my Dolphin Necklace. I found it familiar and i realised i havent seen that cushion in years. All of this suddenly brings me back to when i was 15 and really ignorant, stupid and irrational. I'm sorry ______ for not giving you the love you deserved to get.

My Creative Zen earpiece is failing on me, and all i can use now is this really old,ancient tiny speakers given to me a really long time ago. But surprisingly, it works quite well. Then again, i want the 30GB Black iPod Video, its hell hot.

Goong S

This show has got my laughing gas on for the entire time. Like i have already joined the Goong bandwagon, but seriously Goong S is real funny thanks to hot hot Choi Dongwook.

Oppa, I'll see you in 4 days!

Read my horoscope and it says i'm most compatible with Gemini while Gemini is most compatible with itself. And Aquarius is most compatible with Libra. So, what exactly does this mean? I have no idea. Check for your horoscope, HERE.

& guess what? My Kim Jaejoong is an aquarius. I love being a Libra :D

Purse- haha serious? So cool, i need new ballet flats. Poly gives me more reasons to shop!

The weekend was well spent with my mum hunting down glorious beads, chowing down terribly good food and shopped till legs ached in Bugis Junction and City Hall. Surprises followed suit, of DHL Hot Air Balloon, and 30 Trishaws filled with too-excited Japanese Okasans. Followed by double happiness (Thank You, Mummy)!! My new Goldheart VIP Card and Diamond Heart Ring was absolute love.

I couldn't contain my happiness and ended up going a tad too crazy after collecting Rain's Concert Tickets. I think while collecting, i managed to depic a moment of childishness of shrieking shrills and endless clothe-tugging.

Boredom has led me to do weird things, and Nutella Swirl Cupcakes + Konnyaku Jelly were the result of it. The Nutella Cupcake Swirl was not at all difficult to bake and not time consuming. Moreover, it was a success! I have once again succeeded in making my kitchen adventures possible.

Thank you Ngee Ann Poly for your Open House, but why-oh-why a day before Rain's concert? I'll be there,i think. Yes,i will

For any kind soul, this pretty pair of oh-so-sweet glitter flats would make a pretty damn good present for me. Source: X:odus
