a whole new world

my exams are over!! like finally! so it's time to play!! there's so many things i wanna do...like watching phantom of the opera..haiz, it's finishing soon..don't think i'll ever have a chance to watch it. my childhood dream not being realised once again...i'm really upset. cos everytime i want something so badly, i just don't get the chance to have it.
anyway, christina aguilera's coming to singapore! my dearest pal melina has informed me of the ticketing prices for her concert...i can't avoid missing this concert, and would want to get the best seats available..which is priced at $348. hefty sum huh? but she's all worth it! since i can't watch phantom, i'd just go for this one.
i would really want to catch a performance at the esplanade though cos i'm already so familiarised with the indoor stadium.

eigene shared alot with me today. i'm glad to hear that things are going so smoothly for her.
went for makeup lesson with lingai...i'm her model for emerge's makeup competition! haha


nice hor? haha..wait till u see me in the full outfit! nice nice!!

the gal who does perfect pretty makeup! lingai!

alright, guys reading, pls do lend ur support 2 wks from now, on a saturday...430-5pm at singapore expo..thanks thanks!!

Phew! i'm so relieved that it finally came..i thought i'd miss it, and though i've missed it for a few days (a clear sign of stress?), i'm glad i'm still a perfectly normal woman afterall.
i'm busy dealing with the academics now. i simply can't grasp the mental absorption of my lecture notes and worse still, burning the midnight oil didn't do any good as well. it just poured a pimple plantation on my face! help! pimples are a clear indication of stress, my period and fatigue! i've yet to go for my monthly facials cos i've got no time for it! God, make me pretty again..make me look radiant again...take away all the eyebags and give me a facelift..
on a lighter note, church service and cell group have been enjoyable. i've experienced a different revelation from God; His presence is still lingering freshly in my spirit. i'm believing in Him for a breakthrough in my ministry, my cell group and my own personal spiritual devotion to Him. it says in the bible,'when we put God first in our lives, He will pour out His blessings upon us' and i will meditate on this verse, because indeed, putting Him first in everything that we think, say, and do, we exalt God!

start believing and it will come to pass!

have a great week ahead my friends.

we look really good together, and we've been going on so strong.



till the end...

you can run away from things, but u can't run away from self. until u're broken toward God, the same problem will follow you. don't hold back by self-love.

thanks adrian for compiling this clip. i really appreciate it...my eyes welled when i watched it, especially with such an emo song..really brought back lots of memories to me. remember our 'trinity', the HQ-ers and ivan! man..i miss those times. yesh, we'll definitely be friends forever and ever..and of cos, we have to meet up ok???? great job done on the vid once again!! simply memorable..

A little boy asked his mother, "Why
are you crying?" "Because I'm a
woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said. His Mom
just hugged him and said, "And you
never will."

Later the little boy asked his
father, "Why does mother seem to cry
for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all
his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a
man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God. When
God got on the phone, he asked, "God,
why do women cry so easily?"

God said:

"When I made the woman she had to be
special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to
carry the weight of the world,

yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure
childbirth and the rejection that many
times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her
to keep going when everyone else gives
up, and take care of her family
through sickness and fatigue without
complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her
children under any and all
circumstances, even when her child has
hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her
husband through his faults and
fashioned her from his rib to protect
his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good
husband never hurts his wife, but
sometimes tests her strengths and her
resolve to stand beside him
unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to
shed. This is hers exclusively to use
whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the
beauty of a woman is not in the
clothes she wears, the figure that she
carries, or the way she combs her
hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in
her eyes, because that is the doorway
to her heart - the place where love
resides."

I want a little something more
Don't want the middle or the one before
I don't desire a complicated past
I want a love that will last

Say that you love me
Say i'm the one
Don't kiss and hug me and then try to run
I don't do drama
My tears don't fall fast
I want a love that will last

I don't want just a memory
Give me forever
Don't even think about saying good-bye
Cuz i want just one love to be enough
And remain in my heart till i die

So call me romantic
Oh i guess that must be so
There's something more that you oughta know
I'll never leave you
So don't even ask
I want a love that will last

So there's just a little more that i need
I wanna share all the air that you breathe
I'm not the kinda girl to complicate the past
I want a love that will last

went shopping..bought lotsa clothes! had a big bag from zara and john little!
tried on this really pretty dress..


i love it but too pricey..
it's a beautiful feeling to do lonesome shopping. sounds so contradicting..
what about asking someone to do the shopping for u? does he/she knows what u really want?
think about that.

emotions overwhelming me
unstable, eye-wrecking
just wished for a conversation through the night
but it got defeated by sleep
i wonder how much longer do i have to wait
to know that it's for real


i'm running low on the walkway...
my stamina's dying on pulse-beat...
i've lost thoughts of what sums up a monthly equation.


i can't sleep, and there's no one i can turn to.

i cut my fringe!!! and it's self-cut..i've been wanting to cut my fringe for the longest time but just didn't find time to do it.
i lazed yesterday, haven't lazed for ages! went for a swim and tan! the sun was so hot it nearly caused me a heatstroke! had to dip myself in the pool to cool off my temperatures! despite the heat and the strong sunrays, there wasn't any difference to my skin colour, just a slight tan that's all.
boo brought me to this awesome place at esplanade..it's where the floating stadium is being constructed. we parked at connaught drive and took a stroll through this really dark underpass which had a beautiful sky view of the CBD buildings.


i think this is the only place in singapore which i find it most astounding! i wouldn't mind going back there just to enjoy the sea breeze and the view. the colourful lights of every building made it so perfect!

hopefully, with the 42-storeys high ferris wheel, singapore will turn into a better viewed place...

*i wanna sit the wheeel! wheee*

got this from my sis' blog..

dated 14th april: My aunt-in-law passed on this afternoon in China, her hometown, after being succumbed to a sudden fateful virus attack on her main brain. It came too sudden for all of us... especially for my uncle. She was everything to him and she's gone just like that, at a young age of 28. But she's in a better place now. May she rest in peace

yup, RIP aunt yin mei.....

i had a wonderful weekend!! redang trip's in 2 days time! super super excited for it!! going snorkelling!!! yippppeeeeeee!!!!!!

i remember initiating a chatroom with all of my 'HQ-ers', namely adrian, elena, stanley, shy and lennon..yeah, we were the HQ-ers then and we had our graaba chats almost everyday. now it's reduced to just adrian, nana and me. and in a few days time, should i say 3.5 days  more, it'll just be nana and drian drian..
how did the group shrink?? it all started with stanley leaving..he needed a 2 mths break for his exams, shy was the next to go..she went on to OCBC to do loans, and lennon somehow 'vanished' along with her..and presently i'm the next to leave too. adrian's got himself through the 2nd interview for UOB and elena's looking for a job that's media-related. i'm glad that a few of us who've left have found jobs in the banking industry, well i guess that's the only route we're looking forward to after GE. 
this is what it means when one leaves, the rest follows as well. i'll never forget the friendships i've made with them and how we've gotten to this far..the strong bond between us was made established without any politics and i must say i've enjoyed my stay in ge because of the HQ-ers!! 
alok was asking me what is the thing that would make me stay put in GE.....i replied,'the friends i've made here', yeah and truly, it wasn't the work, the pay (ahem!) or the welfare (AHEM AHEM), but it's definitely this clique of friends i've made. i've heard people saying,'you can't make friends at work', well, i did, and we all did! i mean, they're not the bestest of the bestest friends but they're friends whom i can trust at work, and out of work. thank God for placing great friends and colleagues in my stay in ge...they've given me a reason to seek fulfilment in the 'not-so-welfare' community. *smiles*  :)
i'll be having dinner with the existing chatroom kakis - drian and nana tomorrow at miss clarity! gonna take lotsa peeks and so gonna have a graaba good time with them! i'm glad i've stayed on this far......

good friday/easter weekend was busy yet fulfilling! spent the entire week with boo, went to sungei buloh on gd friday with his mum and granny and we went hunting for the mangroves and the mudskippers! granny was in a wheel chair (pushed by boo's mum) cos she's 84 yrs old! and surprisingly, under the hot scorching sun, she did enjoy herself very much! since sungei buloh isn't so wheel-chair friendly (we went on gravels), i admire her strength to endure all the jerky-ness of her wheel chair and that she was able to help hold on to some of the bags that we were carrying. boo's mum was so heartwarming as well, she bought strawberries, grapes and blueberries that day, but we only managed to finish the grapes..ha! boo's mum have quite a knowledge on plants and the fruits..cos she used to live in a kampong. we stumbled upon some odd-looking limey green fruit that apparently is said to cure 'CRAZY' people! weird but it's TRUE!
anyway, i didn't have pics of granny and boo's mum..but i managed to take pics of US! hahaha!


this pic was taken while waiting for boo's mum and granny at the toilet..and boo liked this pic so much that he saved it on his hp wallpaper!
so after sungei buloh, boo drove over to my place and i got changed for xianwei's bbq..bbq went awesome enjoyable! xianwei's cg members were so receptive..and i got to chat with my secondary school junior, amy..i've never seen her before in school but surprisingly she knows my sis, xianwei and boo. what a small world indeed! boo and i escaped the 'food-clearing' game and went to our world of pak tor (no la..we were also waiting for xianwei to fetch us home!) haha! we sat at this haw par villa look-alike waterfall and did some small loving chats. took pics as well..but the only one that's decent looking is this one..


can't see the waterfall from here though...
both of us were real tired from the whole day's events-sungei buloh,home and the bbq...it's all shown on our faces!!

on sat, my church had a fantastic easter drama service!! i sang for the first service and the atmosphere was great!! i got emo during the drama, the part where Jesus' cousin john was killed...they had montages of the good ol' days of their wonderful friendship together, and it reminded me of sheena and me. ayez..God really is able to bring back memories of past friendships through this easter drama..but i'm glad she's moved on to a better place.

finally met up with NIC! he's the zebra dancer for the drama and he's looking all so charged up for it!!!

great to see u walking so positively in God!!

boo came for the second service and sitting in with him and watching the easter drama again left me another feeling, a feeling of reassurance from the previous emo thought that i had. i love it when God speaks to me in different ways..how His words convicted me. Thank you Father..
so, both boo and i was UBER hungry after service..i didn't have my lunch and dinner that day..so we sprung to bedok 85 for hokkien mee, oh luat (oyster omelette) and sugar cane! slurps slurps! i was still coughing that day but i don't wanna miss out on all the goooood food that boo ordered (it wasn't his intention to get all these oily food...it was MINE!). enjoyed it to the loving core!!!!

on the thrid day which Jesus rose...ahem..sunday lar..which was yesterday, we went boating!!! my sis, shuming, xianwei, boo and i went on an afternoon boat trip around the north eastern coast of singapore on a relatively big boat! boo has a boat licence so to make better use of it, he rented the boat out for 4 hrs with a lovely company of friends to enjoy with! it was my first time doing boating and the boat trip was made more pleasant with my boo steering it! ok, here's the pictures for your lovely perusal..


sisters...bet u can't differentiate who's who!


our attempt in taking a group pic...didn't turn out successful so mei took this pic for us..


that's boo steering the boat out of the dock!


i wanted to take a pic of the huge huge ship but don't think could see it behind...


yup..this huge tanker!


boo and xianwei! they look so buddie buddie together!


my sis and shuming! nice shave!


i got myself taken with 2 men behnd me.


me and boo! i got my stint on steering the boat!!! it's so like driving a car!! thanks boo for the opportunity to steer it!

we visited the kelongs, my first time balancing on those wooden planks! great experience...but sadly, there isn't any seafood to eat! it wasn't the season for a good catch though...so we went sun-tanning instead...

the rib-caged guy is SHU and i'm behind with boo


heading back to sembawang yatch club!!

oooh! and finally we're back on shore! after 4 hrs out at sea, our heads were grogggggy! but it was FUN! sheer fun!


looking all shagged in xianwei's car...
thanks boooo for the lovely day out at sea! it's great time catching up with u!!!

ok..that's how my weekend was spent! i've enjoyed it real much and am looking forward to redang!!!!

i sent boo this during office hrs just now! pikaboooo!
and he came up with this:
N + I + C + E = NICE

right.

i had CHOU TOUFU, otherwise known as 'SMELLY TOUFU' with boo at geylang last night after class! i dunno how all these started but i remembered asking boo whether he's tried chou toufu b4, and so, he recommended this place at geylang, which i was super clueless cos didn't know there was such a place here in singapore which sells such stuff! so it seems like boo had a better food knowledge than me!
even before reaching the shop, i could smell the stench..argh! super unbearable! it smelled like my hammie's poo! i was feverish enough to denote the smell! so u could understand how STINKY it was!
we ordered our toufu...


looks can be deceiving!

boo had his first bite into the 'deceiver'


ready...get set.....


YUM!

ok,ok, my turn! ahem!


alright alright, it's just me posing with the little toufu...


see the big fat smile on my face! haha! the toufu didn't taste that bad afterall, in fact it was really crispy and soft and juicy! slurps! $2 for a small small piece! yum yum!
we ordered chicken wings wrapped in banana leaves, which was AWESOMELY tasty too! too bad, didn't take any pics of it....

i'm counting down the days to 'bye bye ge' and 'hello redang'! can't wait!! but i've gotta finish up my last assignments first. boo, pls get me grounded at home to do my work! don't let me procrastinate!!!!!

just some pics i'd like to post up here...taken quite some time back, at hgg mac!

I'VE LOST  MY VOICE!

 what's happening to me???!! 
my throat's phlegmy and sore! 

peeks taken by boo's new sony ericsson k800i

boo came over to my branch..a pleasant surprise, afterall, he's on mc..






sweeeet!

ok, and i'm sick now...down with high fever, and suspected bronchitis

arh! finally! after a druling weekend, i'm done with my 2nd assignments! it was a hella ride rushing thru my crazilious essay homework, my brain cells are popping ever single second now! i've painstakingly allow myself to succumb under burning endless midnight oils, that has resulted in a few 'poppers' on my face. so it's my  brain cells and my face now..don't mess with me anytime this period..i  might just go KABOOOOM!
to save me from all the hell ride, i took a breather by doing shopping last evening with my boo. but before that, i spent an hour waiting for my HR personnel at the HQ and after waiting an hour in vain, i decided to leave IN VAIN too! i really appreciate a decent call from her telling me that she would be delayed in a meeting but NO she didn't call me till 7pm! i was suppose to meet her at 530 and i was there on time..but where was she?!?!?!  MISSING IN ACTION! and by the time she called me, i was crossing the road to centrepoint! ha! so, to suppress all my anger and frustration (pls note, i had very very little amount of sleep the night before cos of my assignments), i met boo. and meeting him, somehow, he 'took' all the nasty anger off from me. he's my anger-reliever! maybe it's his new haircut and his fabulously 'hunky' white top and jeans! he looked like a 'STAR' last night! oooooohhhh, i've been mesmerized. 
so shopping began soon after..boo got a brand new 3g sony ericsson phone, at a very very discounted price! all thanks to GE and yours truly ME!..starhub was having a corporate promotion, and i needed to clear my $200 handphone allowances for being an RO, and since i'm having 2 phones, i decided to pass the baton to my dearest boo. could see that he's beaming after getting his hands on his new gadget! i'm happy for him!! like FINALLY he can take more peektures!! don't have to struggle with my pathetic N80 3mgpixels camera..his hp is 3.2 mgpixels lar! *envy*
we had chinese dim sum dinner at 'great eastern restaurant'; mum LUUURRVES this restaurant..their very own specialty was hand made noodles with soft tender beef slices! boo and i ordered 2 bowls of similiar dishes, except mine had a dash of chilli in it, and mouth-watering xiao long baos!! they're really JUICY xiao long baos!!! *slurps* the bill came up to be less than $30, super CHEAP lar! cos for that kind of food and the service, it was more than worth it!! 
i was on cloud nine, with the moo moo taking its own sweet time digesting  in my tummy..but it got intterupted with HAAGEN DAZ new cookie and chocolate flavour! i've been longing to lick and savour this ultra yummy and ultra expensive indulgent. boo sensed it too, so he got it for me!!!! happy to the core la! :) boo, if u're reading this, let's do haagen daz every....ahem....MONTH! haha! let's get sick of all their flavours!! mwahaha! be ice-cream fanatics and burn all our pockets!! ONZ??
so i enjoyed  my small shopping expedition night with boo...enjoyed his company and of cos his trimmed hair and attire! 
i can't wait till 13th april...it's when i'll be officially laid off by GE, and home to 2 weeks of sheer relaxation! i'm counting down the days, hours, minutes and SECONDS! tick tock tick tock..........


pls make my day.....
