HAPPY BIRTHDAY YEE CRAZY MIN!


i'm glad how well this year has been for you and how all your 'obstacles' turned out to be blessing in disguise. i feel really really happy for you...bear in mind that no matter how many times we meet in a month or year, we'll always have each other in mind and the girl power stays strong. we all move on but we're moving alongside each other not away. miss the crazy laughters from just now already. and we forgot to take pictures!!! i'll make sure we have a full attendance date in June.

LOVE YOU. cheers to 88 babies...teeheehee =)



listening to min telling us how life has been good to her recently....i cant help but feel i'm really lucky too. there's a unfailing kind of happiness trailing behind me and really, there's nothing i can lament about at all. i'm glad life for the girls have been good as well and no matter what obstacles they faced, they managed to pick themselves up and continue to walk life's journey. Min's got her NUS admission, Jean's finally off her metal mouth label, Van has found her joy and direction in life and as for Qing, she got her SIA interview and has found strength despite all that has happened. Thank God for all he has given to us...although we have not exactly been good kiddos. I've got all the material things i want and those which money cant buy as well, what more can i ask for? Maybe for a lifetime of this *winks*

back from hongkong!
5 days was quite tight because 2 whole days were spend in Macau and at Lantau Island. I was like a mute there because i couldn't speak much cantonese. i got my wallet!! and a pair of nice leather flats which was paid for by my father in a really rare gesture =) not much shopping done due to time constraint and rainy weather. but the food there is really good! i think i put on some not needed weight too....

next week will be batam! can't wait for the hugeass pool...

procrastinated over blogging for weeks..
finally getting my lazy butt up and start typing.

had a great weekend just hanging around and having drinks till most of us are gone. sunday had lunch at amara hotel with family and dinner was with his family at rong guang. and tequila shots + lime juice is yummmmmmy * smacks lips* ! cant wait for the next drinking session with the bunch again....3 more bottles and counting!

impromtu decision by the parents to go hongkong. will be flying off this sat and be back on wed. looking forward more to june's getaway.......or even longer trips if rmit doesnt get back to me. IMI's letter came but dont think i'll be taking it. big risk considering the fact that rmit's letter seems miles away. never made a more difficult academic decision in my life. hopefully no regrets.

my life is very sad now.

i miss alot of people. but i'm so tied up at work that it's hard to make time out. jacq love thanks for the very discounted 9 in 1 wonder!

work has been good and i'm thankful.
my life revolves round work now and the much appreciated one and a half day weekend break. been seeing lots of customers drive in with Lamborghinis and Ferraris and a handful and mercs and BMWs. are singaporeans getting richer or do the rich favour Panasonic products?

Oh yes, i'm working for Panasonic now.
really nice and fun people working with me which makes my 5 and a 1/2 days so much more enjoyable! now i've gotta learn to make time to meet up with all the girls. i miss all of you so much! yes you........the one reading my blog! =)

my life is very dead now
____________________

literally like that.
starting work on monday but not looking forward to it. hopefully it'll change when i start. pray that the people will be nice and lunch-es wont be lonely. i think i'm spoilt to the core, i dread work and all i do during my free time is shop and thinking of where to get my manicures done. i ought to wake up to reality. me aint no rich tai-tai.......................... =(

if anyone could tell me.

IMI or Les Roches?



it's the worst decision i have to make. How can i leave when my heart is in tiny SG? when national service and education will tear us apart? its a huge sacrifice for my future. why is the world so cruel and i cant have the best of both worlds....

back from phuket!
the flight was screwed up, yelled at the stupid agent but the trip was good =)
i think the good food more than made up for everything.
the day trip got all of us really tanned. even my scalp peeled.
pictures soon...

my sisters gave me a push in the back..
gonna start applying for uni on mon.
hope she doesnt push me to switz for a year...
dont think i can bear going away for that long.
3 months in maldives was long enough..
hopefully i get rejected or the application closes? haha

free night at rasa sentosa tomorrow =)
cant wait

Down with Urinary Tract Infection.
it is horrid but very common in women
the night the pain started i thought i was gonna die. seriously. i prayed since like donkey years ago, started thinking of the things i'm gonna leave behind. in short i freaked out. the pain kept me awake till the x-ray and urine test told me i wasn't dying. bad year for dragons, and the palmist i went to years ago seems damn accurate till date.

the lady here is still slacking her life away. while her mates have all gone to apply for local/overseas universities or started working or at least hunting, she's busy doing nothing besides watching britney's MV over and over again. the only plans i have is:

FRI 22/03 - Tanning?
SAT 23/02 - Airshow
TUES 26/02 - Waxing
SUN 02/03 - Phuket

why dont i see academic counselling or admission interviews in my schedule. i'm a goner with no plans for my future. i'm still waiting for my SIGN!

sweet love that came knocking on the door at 10.15pm from a random stranger =)
paid for by the boy who tried so hard to keep it from me.
thank you for making Valentines sweet year after year
I LOVE YOU deep deep worxzz...

Loads of photos all taken during chinese new year.
Been busy having fun and tomorrow onwards i'm unofficially free from school! Gone be the research paper and welcome to the life of doing nothing! Graduation is super scary, have to decide on my choice of institution for further studies and work before enrolling into uni. Right now just want to have fun, and looking forward to phuket trip!

Feel so lost to have no solid plans in life at this moment...it feels good to be able to throw away everything and just slack my life away! Will take whatever comes my way. Peixuan, its time to party! Jacq love quick plan our genting trip...and annabel, where are you?!







great company, lousy daiquiris




family loving











cousins, nieces, nephew

many many thanks and apologies to dear van!
thank you for the wonderful chalet
all the yummy food
being such a great host
for everything!

sorry for being such noisy drunkards
for messing up the room
leaving u all alone downstairs with the 'kids'

you know we all love you babe! =)

yesterday was just wonderful...we met szemin's boyfriend for the first time and we loved him. really.the guys were having all the guy's talk while the girls totally zonked out on the alcohol. all the drinking games and jokes made us laughed so loud people downstairs could hear. the things we talked about...i totally could not believe it...especially in the presence of a 'newcomer aka min's loverboy, brandon'. there was no boundaries in their conversation....everything that could be said was said. i guess thats the effect of vodka + rum + beer. oh and i finally saw trannies in full force!

waited for him at his school today, watched sex and the city.
into my last season! but he just started...HAHA
went to great world after that
that was when the horrible headache started
it never happened this bad...it tore me apart
and us as well. bickered for a long while...
still i managed to shop and bought some clothes totally unplanned for! i need to focus on my chinese new year clothes....

clueless on the research paper...information i found doesnt seem to help much. and the deadline is right after chinese new year! i think my biggest problem is focus now. oh wells, looking forward to the chalet and zouk on friday.

Buffet at Raffles' Bar and Billiard Room was satisfying! Their salads and appetizers was good but main courses a tad disappointing. Exchanged birthday gifts and i got my gift for last year! it's a really pretty french connection top...really loved it. Sounds really long but i was in Maldives back then so we had all of out birthday celebration today. As usual we laughed about everything and nothing...it was great catching up with the girls again. After that headed down to Regent with Cynthia..managed to catch a few of my colleagues from Summer Palace and everything seemed the same as before.

waited for the erratic rain to stop before heading back to city hall for some shopping! it felt good but all the heavy bags and my heels were killing me. why do we always put so much unnecessary pressure on ourselves by spending too much, walking too much...why cant we all be contented with what we have and just lead a laid back life? I guess i can never find that here...and do i really want a laid back life? just what is for me...i have not figured that out yet.

i am so fickle and unsure of everything that it pisses me off. If only i'm more rational and far-sighted to know what i want for my future...i'm still such a kid. when will i grow out of my shell and stop wasting time in life? I hate this turning point in my life....





picture perfect



the joy of our life making her usual funny face



my new love at first sight!



birthday gift from the lovelies =)



loot for the day

friday's dinner with the old bunch was fabulous as usual!
old the super juicy gossips and laughter.
they proved to me that 3 months in maldives made my radars shorter. i knew nuts about the ongoings and the news in singapore.

ohhhhh...! i' m going to phuket on 2nd march! it was the fastest trip ever...we discussed and the very next day paid for everything! i'm so excited..i miss the sun, sea and sand...and did i hear deliciously cheap seafood, shopping, spa and nightlife? 1 more freaking month...!

school starts tomorrow and i dread the research paper...but on a brighter note, i'll be graduating in less than a month! =)

they say never judge a book by its cover

how apt it is for me.
thinking a tad too much now
but this is just me i guess.

it is hard to move from one phase of life to another...but at certain junctures it gets harder than the others. god is putting me through a test now to make me grow up. but i know i have not and the kid in me still lives. i wonder what would have happened to me if i had no one to control me and no one that i'm accountable for. life's getting harder and i hate it. no one told me growing up was going to be this hard..

i'm back from maldives already.
there shld be pictures to do this blog some justice after not blogging for so long but i need some tme to adjust back to life and get all the pictures from vic and candice.


i really miss maldives. miss all the friends that i have made there. seeing their emails and messages made me really happy. 3 months gave me alot of insight into life but not much wiser because i still dont know what i want in life.

now is the time to meet up with all my dear singaporean friends that i've neglected for 3 months. say hello to souvenirs from sunny maldives my friends! =)

the hostel


the sea everywhere!


Four Seasons Kuda Huraa Spa Island


Me with the spa island behind


All 7 of us


my 11th day at Maldives.

The place is beautiful. How can it not be when the seawater is as clear as the pool and its like infinity. you don't see an end to the sea. Work is not very tough and the people are all friendly. The hostel is air conditioned and we have staff gym, canteen etc.

Sounds like all too good right?
but i cant tell you how much i miss home. Sometimes i just feel like dropping everything and take the next flight back. counting down to the end of 3 months every single day.

Having said all that, i did have really fun times here too. The 6 girls have gossip session almost every single day which i really appreciate if not i'll probably not survive until now. on my first off day, i visited the capital, Male which was a good relief from the mundane life here.

One more really exciting thing! President Nathan was here and i took pictures and shook hands with him! He even dined at the restaurant i was working at. My pic was not in the straits times but it was on lianhe zaobao! Sat's paper...please cut it out for me if you guys have =)

I miss everybody back home! I miss macdonalds and it is practically unheard of here! I hope time will pass faster...Miss every single thing Singaporean =(

Flying off tomorrow.



Had a beautiful week with all the lovely people before i leave home for a foreign land. All the people at Summer Palace were remarkable, the managers were great. Paul treated my family to dessert and Lee ALMOST brought me and vic to dine there. Dinner yesterday night with the new town gang was fabulous. I swore i had not laughed like that in the past 2 months or so. Baby surprised me one day by popping by Tanglin Mall and for refusing to tell me, i nearly missed meeting him because i was working overtime. What more can i ask for to bring with me over there with all these beautiful memories?

Friends taking time to send me off tomorrow. The beautiful bracelet from peixuan. My sisters contributing money and time to source for travel insurance for me. All the well-needed hugs. I cant wait to be back even before i'm gone. Everybody here take care and don't forget me! My last post from Singapore for the year.

You'll all be dearly missed!

its my OFF DAY today! =)

i'm feeling very guilty for neglecting so many people.
firstly to peixuan, for your constant msges on msn but i was always too busy and tired to chat with you. and to bel, jacq and the rest of you for not being able to meet up.
and to van and szemin, our schedules don't match..but don't worry, there's always this sat!

too little time for too many people. sigh
20/10 seems to be speeding by.
i'm not excited anymore, i just don't want to leave everything i have behind even for a mere 3 months. jac, bel, px, i promise to meet up with you girls at least once before i leave alright? reach me via sms! i'll reply!
