RAINING!!

and i'm happy =)

i don't like rainy days. it makes me kinda sad. it makes everything colourless and dull.

but i like the rain today! cuz i haven't seen rain for a few weeks now. the weather has been so baking hot that i feel like a pineapple upside-down cake in an oven in my room. as in, hostel room. oooo... rain... longer pleease.

my mid-term break of 4 days, finally feels like a break =)

i watched a very long engagement yesterday. it's quite nice. i like the story but the middle part of it got me confused but the overall plot is good. i like the humour. don't like the violent content. and i like the actor. he's cute =) he's got a parenthesis on his left cheek. gorgeous.

then i watched constantine today with lena and sw. i like it! although the story is a bit crappy, the action and effects got my eyes totally fixed on the screen. plus keanu reeves is really so darn good-looking. love the show. then it was shopping and i bought a bag at far east. it's a bag i've got my eyes on since last year at project shop. but it costs like $79 there. decided that i should juz get the look-alike for $22 and make better use of the $(79-22). oh, the uncle who sold me the bag told me that the bag will become softer after i wear it more often. *shrug* whatever. then sw and lena both bought really pretty tops at this shop owned by this guy (super metrosexual, cannot take it) who claims to design 80% of the clothes there himself. doesn't really matter what he said was true or not, but the clothes there are really quite nice. too bad lena has to leave for her cappo class. so me and sw roamed around town. sw got a haircut at paragon. it took quite long, like almost an hour that i fell asleep. then we went to zara and tried on a lot of clothes! ooohh.. i like this brown long-sleeved top but didn't buy it cuz there's no reason for me to wear long-sleeve in hot and sunny sg. i'm really into long-sleeves. i like looking at them and trying them on. but it's juz crazy to buy them cuz i won't wear. so i juz bought a normal top. sw bought clothes too. and we are happy =)

haaaaaapppy =) happy like a hippo.

i was juz looking at my diary, and i realized it's qw's birthday today. happy 21st =) don't think he'll c this unless he chances on my blog. yup, happy birthday qw!

and it's also xiauting's 21st birthday. happy birthday xiauting! even less chance of her seeing this i think. but i already wished her happy birthday earlier =)

i'm sleeping late. didn't plan to. i've got a proj meeting at 10am. will come back to snooze until the next proj meeting at 4pm. pretty screwed. things don't always go according to plan especially when it comes to sleeping early.

the break is ending. too soon.

omg i slept for 13 hours. 4am - 5pm. im so HAPPY! =) and so piggish.

janet at 5:36 PM

lena's house is HUGE. and nice. and exciting. about 20 of us went to her house for steamboat dinner and gambling. it's supposedly a blk outing. but the pple who went were the blk comm and the usual Onz pple in the blk. who were the happening year ones and the year twos. i felt sleepy and dull the whole night there. i wasn't very excited about gambling tonight. not sure why. but dinner was great and lena was really nice to hold such a big gathering at her place. u won't be able to find another blk head like her liao lor. =)

and yes, i finally got what i wanted last night. to juz sleep for as long as i want. woke up at 3pm today. felt so goooooooood. then it makes u wonder why i felt sleepy at lena's house. maybe it was her superduper comfortable couch. hehe.. i juz love it when i can sleep w/o disturbance and wake up when i feel like waking.

i'm hooked to this song, Eve, the apple of my eye by Bell X1. i'm a sucker for melancholic tunes.

In the garden Snake was a charmin'
And Eve said let's give it a try
Now lead us not into temptation
But no matter how hard I try
When in the garden and
Snake is a charmin'
And Eve says let's give it a try
Eve is the apple of my eye

And I lie behind you
And a cradle you in the palm of me
And I pat your hair down
I think will we sink or swim?
'Cause we could do either on a whim

i hopped on bus 30 at 6.40pm. and it passed by harbourfront, it was 7.20pm. traffic jam sucks. 40 min on the bus and only at harbourfront. finally reached yuxin's place and her dad drove us + cindy too to costa sands @ ecp for peiwen's 21st birthday celebration.

ok and so here goes the list of people i didn't expect to meet there:

1. weiping. my pri sch classmate. she's not exactly how i remember her to be. a bit corny. but, it's nice to see her again. she's peiwen's sec sch classmate.

2. wanni. this girl from my sec sch. who used to have a crush on jy. she wasn't there at peiwen's birthday celebration. she was at the chalet unit right next to peiwen's. what a coincidence right? didn't say hi cuz i don't exactly know her. don't think she likes me anyway.

3. jun mian. sec sch classmate. jc mate. he was math society president in tpjc? therefore peiwen's boss.

4. raphael. aka scooby doo. =) jc mate. got to know him thru pre-U seminar. mel and me found him quite cute back then. he's gained a little weight now. and a bit fairer. he was skinny, and slightly brown. he looks totally chinese but he isn't. and he was in the math society too. haha.

and so, y do i meet everyone but gay? WHY WHY WHY?!

well, also saw shilei and suyi at the chalet. it was nice catching up and playing mahjong and tai tee and talking and eating great food. wonder when we'll meet up like that again. who's birthday coming next ar?

anyway, we walked from costa sands via the underpass to mel's place to take a bus. yx and i waited for 196 for quite some time then i suggested to take a cab to her place since it was already 11.55pm and i don't wanna miss the last 30 back to hall. hopped on the cab and she dropped me off the road. once i alighted from the cab, i saw bus 30 at the traffic junction. thank goodness it was red light and so i ran all the way to the bus stop. then bus 30 drove past me and the uncle threw me a look. i signaled for him to wait and yes he waited. when i got on the bus i was panting like crazy and thanking him and he said "what time already, last bus you know?" in an unfriendly tone but i'm juz very thankful. damn lucky lar me.

guess what. i reached hall in half an hour from fort road.

AMMM quiz was alright. i think will be able to do well if it's not graded on the bell-curve-shit. =) class was interesting today. learnt that marketing can be really dirty business. marketers can be really sly. but who doesn't know that already?

ok... gonna rest and relax and stay away from marketing for a few days. it drove me crazy reading the marketing text cuz there's so much information that it's so hard to remember everything.

mid-term break (read: fun-filled week of mugging for mid-terms and doing projects) is almost here. ahhh.. time to suffer. but i think i'll juz waste it away doing unimportant stuffs.

had an impromptu lunch with shaun yesterday. he went to NUH for some physiotherapy. he msged me at 7am to ask me for macs breakfast but i slept at 5am.. but he was still around when i woke up at 12 so we went for a really fast-food meal at macs. fast cuz he had to rush back to camp. according to him, he lives a very stressful life cuz he's always late to book in and stuff. lol. glad to see him after so long. 1 year? about there. think he looks quite cute with short army-boy hair hahaha.

nothing (else) interesting to blog. out.

it's the week before the mid-term break and there're things to do right now and it seems like there isn't enough time.

APB project proposal is due this friday. haven't come up with a research question. hopefully this gets done later at the project meeting so i get my mind off it.

AMMM quiz that's worth 25% this thursday. this module is 100% CA that's why the quiz is worth so much. it's freaking closed book. arrrghhh... i like marketing but the chapters are juz so god damn long. i should've never accumulated the readings. WHY!!!!!!??????

peiwen's 21st birthday celebration on friday and still haven't gotten a present yet.

sad. lost all the money in my wallet while i was banker-ing. there were like 10 people playing blackjack? or more? argh. even made my sister ran to my room to take out 5x$2 THREE times. so overall, i lost like more than $80 banker-ing. sad. sadder. saddest. at the end of the night of gambling, i got $30 on hand. so i didn't lose any angbao money. merely lost all those in my wallet. which was like $50+. sad. sad. homeground some more. sad.

my papa says i'm really unlucky. but i guess all the bankers today, hatta, serm and me... all not much luck one. there were too many people already lar. not that we're not good bankers. auntie nancy is really lucky. oh well.

sad.

but i'm happy i did this CNY gathering thing.

heart pain lar. =(

i'm glad that my old friends think of me sometimes. the same way i miss them sometimes too.

friends are like phases in life, that we go through, and sometimes we just leave them behind. they're like photos. it feels fun and good when u're taking the photo, and then u develop them and put them all in this photo album away in the cabinet. then after some time, u'll take them out and look at them again. get what i'm trying to say? for some people, the photo is kept in the wallet, or in the diary, somewhere close and personal to them and they carry it wherever they go. for me, friends happen to be photos in a photo album. i can't seem to carry them all along with me in my wallet.

i'm very guilty of saying "hey, we haven't met up for so long, let's go out sometime and catch up" and then time just passes.

it's like when i've moved on from primary school to seconday school, i thought weiting and me will be friends forever? nah. we send each other birthday cards and write letters and after a while, that stopped. but we managed to find each other on friendster. we message once in a while. but that's that.

and when i moved on from secondary school to jc, i thought sarah, agnes and me will be as close as ever. nah. we drifted. as much as i hate to admit, i haven't seen agnes since the oriental hotel thing, which is now more than 1.5 years back. and sheryl? lol. i don't even remember why we hate her anymore.

in sec school, i used to hang out with this bunch of people i.e. jm, daryl, ziyao, tony, jiawang, mark, jj, shaun, qw, glenn, weiting (meow), agnes, sarah and i really can't remember who. i was sec 3 then. happen to know this bunch of guys from the school irc channel. totally happening i must say. they were the only senior guy friends i had then. minus jj, shaun, qw, glenn. qw wasn't even from haising. and there was KC. that's how i got to know qw. every friday after school, without fail, we'll go to whitesands coffeebean and hang and waste $5 and the afternoon away on coffee. hang out at timezone during the weekends playing DDR (ya lar damn lianish i know) and the guys play time crisis and daytona and DDR too lol. it was fun. can't remember what exactly happened that me, agnes and sarah juz stop hanging with them. i think it was the breakup of jj and agnes. totally drama mama. anyway, i've left them behind too. maybe occasionally i'll see shaun. alright, not occasionally. like once a year? ahhh... sucks. my best memories of haising days belong to this paragraph.

then i moved on to jc. 2 years passed so fast. and now it's uni. the 7 of us are everywhere. jean and jo in aust. mel in smu. yuxin and cindy in ntu. yizi and i in nus. i feel ashamed that i don't even meet yizi up for lunch in school.

now, the hall pple. the blk pple. the seniors. last year, we were close like... i dunno what. this year, the bunch of us is shrinking. and i don't like that. though it's inevitable.

judging from the pattern of my life, i foresee that i will gradually leave the hall friends behind. but i really don't want to. cuz everytime i make new friends, close friends, i never meant to leave them behind and put them in the photo album and juz flip it when i feel bored.

and jy. i think i depended on him too much too. it's almost the bf theory. when i needed to go out, i'd asked him. i really didn't bother asking sarah, or agnes, or even with the jc girls. but then, things happened such that i no longer practise the bf theory. and it's hard to revert back normal life with juz normal friends. and i'm really not the active kind of friend.

argh. do u get what i'm trying to say? i don't even know what i'm typing anymore. i really suck sometimes.

it's like i know so many pple from my blk (from hall), and i've only been to a few of their homes. let's see:

1. cling. CNY last year. he invited the blk comm to makan at his home.
2. sw. KL. stopover for a few hours b4 we headed to pulau redang aka MY PARADISE.
3. mayn. preparation for blk BBQ this year. she has got a fantastic sea view. oh btw, she stays a blk beside cindy. but cindy's home can only see trees hehe.
4. serm. CNY this year. may i add i lost $14 to joseph or serm.

anyway, enjoyed myself today. =) it's ok to lose money. cuz if small doesn't go. big won't come!

HEH HEH HEH... big is coming my way!

Yahweh

by U2

Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit
Take this shirt
Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt
And make it clean, clean
Take this soul
Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul
And make it sing

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn

Take these hands
Teach them what to carry
Take these hands
Don't make a fist
Take this mouth
So quick to criticise
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn

Still waiting for the dawn, the sun is coming up
The sun is coming up on the ocean
This love is like a drop in the ocean
This love is like a drop in the ocean

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, tell me now
Why the dark before the dawn?

Take this city
A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city
If it be your will
What no man can own, no man can take
Take this heart
Take this heart
Take this heart
And make it break

:: can't sleep on a saturday night ::

stayed up all night on friday night to watch the acers like jermaine, tinghui and sharon play hockey on saturday morning. the bus had to leave hall for delta stadium at an ungodly hour at 5.45am. initially, i intended to sleep, even if it's for 2 - 3 hours. but couldn't cuz i played badminton till like 3 am and ate supper till 5 am. the journey home from delta was i-can't-remember. everything was so dull. i juz wanted to go home and sleep so badly. so i reached home at 10 am and switched on the air con (i love u) and tucked myself into bed.

the next thing i know, i heard a lot of noises in the living room. tmd. my 3 aunts and my 3 naughty nephews were visiting my grandmother and were talking at the top of their voices and making a din. i was sooooooooooo damn frustrated. i asked my sis what time it was (she was playing maplestory). 1.15pm. omfg. i should've never listened to my dad who asked me to come home straight from delta to sleep. i should've gone back hall to sleep. then when my 3 aunts came into my room to i-dunno-what, look at me? talk to my sis? look at my new room arrangement? i complained that i didnt sleep the whole night and they went out and the house quietened. =) as in, it was quieter. lol.

woke up at 7pm in time for dinner. watched a bit of tv and i decided to juz lie on the bed to watch my brother play maplestory and i fell asleep at like 10pm.

then i got woken up by an sms at 2am. tossed and turned in bed but still couldn't sleep.

so here i am, blogging at 2am. contemplating to watch tv, or to do my readings.

anyways, i'm quite excited cuz CNY is juz around the corner. all the goodies, angbaos, tv, kids, gambling. one thing i don't like is visiting my maternal relatives. i mean, my maternal grandparents and my mum's siblings are fine. i juz hate visiting my maternal grandma's family. i don't even know how to address the uncles and aunties in teochew properly. so i end up feeling that they think i'm a rude person (which i swear i'm absolutely not). it's always the same thing happening. we go to this flat in bedok north, then my dad, bro and me will juz sit at the sofa pretending to be absorbed in tv after the usual happy-new-year-gong-xi-hope-u-strike-4d greeting. imagine like having 30+ pple in a 3-roomed flat. and we all take turns to eat steamboat (which always taste damn good, and the only thing i actually look fwd to do there). other pple would think that "wah, what a close knitted and fun family" but i really don't know the pple there.

i like my paternal relatives though. we all laugh like hyenas, act like kids, even my grown-ups cousins and my aunts. hehe, so glad they aren't going hainan island to celebrate CNY cuz that means they'll come visiting here! =)

ok, i think i'll go watch tv. and eat bakwa. =)

sheares hall got our first GOLD yesterday. the volleyball guys won. SOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!! =)

i finally got TWO tickets for participation in my asian markets & marketing management class today!! in case i haven't told u, this class is pretty competitive (i feel). the way students get participation points is that the tutor will give u 1 ticket each time u say something useful or ask an intelligent question. and u can get at most 2 tickets per class. so it was like, for the past 3 weeks, pple have been shooting their comments and questions and earning their tickets. so today, i had my chance! and i even got 2!! for like contributing useless information like "so what is this case study about?" and i said "blair deciding to enter the indian market or not". LOL. and i also repeated something the tutor said in a different way but leads to the next point or something. oh well, IM HAPPY!! huewon got 2 tickets too!! =) way to go man! the problem with us not able to speak up during class is because the tutor always stand at the other side. the classroom, is what huewon calls a million-dollar classroom. it's huge. with nice big swivel arm chairs. and has 2 screens. and the further tables are elevated. well, it's a conference room. that's why. it's easier to speak up when she's on my side of the classroom. =) i hope she stands near me and huewon more then we can keep getting tickets and have high participation marks for this course. cuz there're way too many smart pple in my class.

anyways, to top it off. i earned $9.30 from this marketing experiment which i particpated after the AMMM class. it's a gambling game. the biggest winner there earned $18.70. it was only a 30 min experiment. fwah. it was worth it. and of course since it's a gamble, some pple lost. but u don't have to pay the experimentor. u juz leave with nothing.

now i'm feeling dizzy and pukey. cuz i went for road relay time trial, a 2.2km route and as usual, i was the last to finish. with a timing of 14min. that's crap. but i run like crap.

gonna lie down. the level 4 guys are preparing supper for the blk tonight. i hope hatta doesn't poison us with his roti john. he made tom yam last year and threw like whole lime with the skin on and the tom yam tasted bitter like bittergourd. hurhur. and i love tom yam lor. his really tasted baaaaad. like the badminton players. hurhur.
