In my Jurong den


Finally..some time at home to face my computer. Hardly have time to blog this whole week due to me coming home late and the need to sleep at 12 so that I can wake up for work the next day. I'm the sort of pig who needs as much sleep as possible..if not i'll be damn shagged when saturday comes..n why can't I sleep in on saturday mornings? Because I have tuition!! I'm not complaining..I should be hardworking. Just read aboutt his guy who is an ex ri and rj student, now studying in SMU. He buys stocks n has saved a lot of money. He gives tuition on weekdays and weekends and earns about 1400+ from his tuition. So much!!!?!! How many assignments does he have!! I figured he has to each every night and weekend..so then where's his social life?~!! *^%&^& I'm happy with my two now..if university gets too boring..maybe I'll get one more assignment..haha nah I don't think I'm up to it.


Eventful weeks have past..Just caught In My Father's Den today with yanli, roy, mich and moi darling. I love the show!! Love these mysterious chim shows where the mystery slowly unravels itself..so cool!! Dark, disturbing story..don't know what to feel for the girl who died. Beginning of the movie will make one lost and bored..thinking what kind of show this is due to the style of filming. But in the end everything comes into place and one will realise what a good plot it is which keeps the movie-goer waiting for more. More as in what more is going to happen..how are the characters related to one another..n we will be in for a disturbing shock. Great show..go catch it!!


Movie was followed by a dinner treat for my family cos of Fathers' Day. The taiwanese restuarant which I had decided on was unfortunately closed this evening!!! Made my whole family walk to liang seah street and they do this to me!! Gotta settle for Ajisen Ramen in the end before my mum insists on eating at the roadside, unair-conditioned hawker place! Have I told you my dad never appreciates my treats? He always have sth to say about the food..I think only buffet at Ritz Calton or Straits Kitchen can satisfy him. He needs a lot of "liao4" and flavours..too bad I'm so damn poor now I can't bring them for good food. Makes me upset sometimes and I wonder why I continue to spend money bringing my family out. Nvm at least the others enjoyed the occasional outings out..all thanks to me. Fewer treats to come once I stop working..sigh..n he's still not appreciating it. Sometimes I'm so tired of paying everything myself..used to be only shopping in JC..Gotta use my allowance to feed my shopping. Once I started working I have to take care of my transport..which costs me a bomb cos I KK is rather far from my Jurong den. Now I don't get any allowance and my bank account is not growing despite working so hard..very sad to have no money. Not as if I've been buying things. Was just complaining to Jamie that day about having nothing to wear while she practically got a major wardrobe make-over! Ages since I bought a clothing..not to mention a decent and beautiful accessory or show..Yet I have no money. This is not right..thinking of money makes me tired and old.


Ok..Friday night was OCS Social Night with Dedrick. Once again..I wanna apologise to him and also thank him for a wonderful evening. Was rather kanchong in the afternoon after work because I failed to leave office earlier and had to cab down to Isetan Scotts for a complimentary make-over by Shiseido. So nice you know..they give basic complimentary make-overs!! No need to pay and I liked my make-up!! Felt a bit paiseh but was glad I went for it or else I'd be rather under-dressed. Tian said it was better than my prom's make-up cos it's much simpler..blah I know I looked like a drag queen that day. Fine. Over. Didn't have time to get to tian's house to deposit my working bag and clothes and had to change into my dress in a public toilet. Terrible experience trying to look glam and doll up in a dark public toilet cubicle. But many thanks to baorong and dedrick whom I called again and again because I was so nervous and unprepared. They calmed me down quite a bit before I reached Crown Prince. What I saw there shocked me even more. Didn't expect to see so many rj pple there..(now why didn't I expect that..so silly) Anyway it was like a mini rj n hc prom thingy. While the guys were all dressed up right in their long shirts and pants..some of us girls were all prom-ish and beautiful dresses and full make-up and hair-do while others like me were more casual, thinking it's just a semi-formal evening. It was more of the latter..and i think my dress was just right. But I should say that many fellow school mates whom I met that day looked very good in their dresses and make-up..made me feel rather insignificant. haha


I was very honoured to be able to accompany Dedrick for the evening. He made me very comfortable, introducing me to his fellow comrades and told me many things which I wanted to know about..like how he's doing in OCS. Also very glad to see my dearest baorong, wingyee and nita!! Yvonne, our cambridge medicine squasher, was also sitting at my table!!Think some pple were quite surprised to see me there haha. Dinner was expensive but not filling. Dedrick must be surprised by my appetite. Among the girls at my table,I ate the most. haha Games were not very rowdy or challenging..It was rather toned down and civilised. Many performances by talented musicians and singers in OCS. Didn't know jian wei, emerson, shengrong, terence and ashraf etc were all in OCS..haha I'm very out of touch. To sum it up..it was a nice gathering with many familiar faces, and many thanks to dedrick and the nice gift from Body Shop =) It was certainly a pleasure.





Dedrick and I!! My Mac lip gloss is way too red..a mistake purchase from the Estee Lauder sale haha maybe I should use it when I'm much older. The original Shiseido pink lip gloss was much more suitable but it's all gone after dinner. haha. Dedrick's a gentleman..good guy. I wish him the very best in NUS Med..he'll definitely be a very approachable and dedicated doctor.





My dearest beautiful Baorong with a new lovely hairstyle (definitely not short but her hair before the cut was way too long..this one is very nice!!).So thankful to see her there..She spent quite a bit of money on her outfit and YH had better appreciated it!! My sis just said br's top n skirt is very nice compared to my plain dress..haha somemore I don't have nice accessories except for the earrings. Told me to learn from baorong. haha I asked my sis to give me money first. It was great hugging this woman again!!





Never more glad to find out that she's Andrew's partner! Another person whom I'm more familiar with!!Only managed to chat a little cos she was at another table but glad that she has good choices for her universities..though she's not very decided yet. Wonder if she headed for clubbing after the dinner..haha and I didn't know Andrew is also a clubber! He didn't mind accompanying Wing to club..haha so exciting!!





Two babes and a very strong and muscular hunk. The Rulang gang!! Sat beside Emerson and Carol during the dinner..Emerson is one cornie guy. A pity I didn't foster close friendship with him while we were in the same JC..but baorong and I treasure the fact that we knew one another way back since primary school. That special connection. The same memories..


There's no time to talk about my Penang trip or Sabah trip anymore..all I can say it's much fun bonding with my loved ones and food galore. No good shopping. Only relaxing in the suburb and feeding mosquitos (In Sabah). I must talk about Batman Begins!! Went into the cinema without much expectations and emerged very satisfied and excited!! I don't read the comics..even sadder to say that I have not watched any previous Batman movies. Haha I know.."ulu". I'm not from a wealthy family, hardly watched movies when I was young. Anyway I think it was quite good for me to catch Batman Begins as my first Batman movie. Unlike Star Wars..I'm not lost. haha Christian Bale is a very good Batman (to me) cos he's big and tall and looks just right. Not too old..not too boyish or cute. Bat suit is damn nice but Batmobile (is that how you spell it?) though looked very cool, could be made sleeker and not so rugged looking. haha I like the story about how Batman came about..the whole fear thing and the ninja training. I like Batman much more than Spiderman because it's more real and not extraordinary. No super powers but a solid story which tells of how an ordinary man with a great vision and will power transforms into a superman who does great things. I like. The ending with Katie Holmes kissing him is so unnecessary. Blah. Katie Holmes is undeniably pretty with nice eyes but I don't think she looks as good when she smiles cos her teeth is quite farney. Worse thing is that she's engaged to Tom Cruise!! I don't believe that she lacks more eligible and younger suitors..Tom Cruise may be quite charming but his age is catching up!! They looks weird together..haha nvm none of my business..


I'm going to suffer at work tomorrow..it's 1 am!! Thanks to tian for cheering me up today..but I want to be your course mate so so badly..Day by day my hopes leave me..Today my heart was once again broken. I didn't cry. Have I grown stronger? Or just dead from so much hoping and waiting. I tell people what I'm gonna do at NUS with a smile and a heck-care attitude. I asked myself how I managed to sound so cool about it. It's as if I have accepted the fact but I'm far from that. Once again I ask myself what am I going to do as the days go by and 1st August comes closer and closer..


Went to NUH one morning to collect some document for work..dropped by the tissue bank to visit christine and bernard. Too bad Belle wasn't there. So nice to see them again and we chatted for quite a while about our lives and other classmates. Congratulations to Christine who is finally in NUS Med. Can't believe Belle and her are working till end July!! I thought I'm quite terrible to quit in late July. haha just realise I have to drop by NUH tml morning again..I always grab the opportunity to say hi to my dear classmates! Now that we're all working or slacking at different places and hardly get to meet up..I cherish this occasional opportunity that I have to meet my friends while sort of at work.


Now good night..and say hi to a Monday once again.
