haha...i'm showing the whole world hobz! and u were just saying that nothing funny happens to us these days..this is enough to let everyone know how spastic u are..wahahha!

bumped into two acquaintances this week. one called out to me and said hi..and i had a very good impression of the person. another...looked me right in the eye from far away..and upon nearing me...looked at the floor and pretended to check the floor out. splendid. people...i say...people..how splendid they can be. if you want to pretend u didn't see someone...only do it if you haven't already established eye contact before..if not...just go ahead and say hi..to save yourself from looking like a fool.

yes it's the hour when people are grumpy from a whole day of being up and a long night of having done ridiculous homework like sentence diagramming and correcting grammatical and puncuation mistakes in sentences..stuff we did for 6 years in primary school.WONDERBRA..wonderbra...yes that's all i can say about the kind of homework i'm doing these days.

my own behaviours irritating me...i'm not surprised it's irritating you...

interact night

the weekend's here once again! tonight was interact night...

first up..dinner with kenny, ck and clarence. we all piled into kenny's magic van and zoomed off for dinner..with my wonderful directing skills..we went attempted to go to pasir panjang food centre..but ended up making one big round and landing in queensway, where we had claypot rice and dan tong (soup). kenny's magic van is becoming more and more amusing..this time round he took out the floor board...had like a million gadgets in there..the same comfortable couch at the back and superb speakers, bass and subwoofers or whatever u call them. the speakers were the best..with them..phuture was in his van! the whole van just vibrated to the beats of candy shop!

cluster meeting at ten..this sem..i'm an even friendlier clustermate.haha..i put in an effort to be around for the cluster meeting ..and to get to know my neighbours. so now..i have 4 new friends..grace, joyce, peili..and the most interesting name i've ever come across...jucy! ok i wanted to crack some lame joke about her name..but it was kinda rude since it was our first meeting...so now..i have friends in hall! yay! ok..time to start work..yet another party this weekend!

ok..we met one of the most irritating guys from cj just now during our phy lect...and this was the conversation that went on between the whole group of us

pk: hey..u understand or not ah?
big firecracker (dua pao xian!): of course la..AFTERALL it's ONLY physics!
ck: wah..surely lor...

pk: yar...my classmate...
b.f.c: ..yar..we were in the same F-MATHS class...you don't know me?? haven't you seen me before?? I WAS FROM THE STUDENT COUNCIL!
me: (very rudely)yar i saw you before..but don't know you or your name..(turn around and walk off..wtf..so boastful..big deal..i also can say some shit like i am from the band or whatever!)

pk: hey you want to go for tmr's lect with me or not ah??
me: ok ..i don't mind afterall i was sleeping..hah...
b.f.c.: oh don't ask me man...MY ARCHI damn busy la! i sure cannot make it!
me: *mutters*..no one asked you lor...

at the bus stop..

me: hey pk..aren't you going for dinner with us?
ck: *mutters*..don't ask tt sucker..don't ask that sucker..don't ask that sucker!!

me: really? ah ok..see u tmr then...
b.f.c: wah i also not going lor..i just spent a WHOLE DAY SKETCHING IN ARCHI..damn tired la....

wtf man...this guy just sucks..so boastful! and so bhb! spoilt my night!! no one was talking to him and he kept going on and on! why..oh why..do such sickening people exist on this planet???!!!

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY MEEMS!

aww crap..i'm 27 mins late..but anyway..today is the day that the lamest and most kok person on earth...MEL LIM BABA(queen of white).. turns 21! in all my years of being retarded..i never thought i would meet someone more kok than myself..and one who does all sorts of kok moves and dances in public! your imitations of the river, broadway, 'girl walking out of phuture' and i don't know what else dances..lift and staircase act..advertisment recitations is simply the best on earth and never fails to crack everyone up. your ability to be late is of the highest level that no one can attain..and your love for eating without becoming ba-ba is simply amazing. thank you for the never ending (top-down) car rides home and for listening in times of need. let's continue to have movie marathons (NO MORE KILL BILL!!!)..drinking sessions..supper..shisha..en lounge outings..talking rubbish..study camps...fong seng dining sessions..and most importantly..never let the 'AH KIONG' fan club die! hahahaha..once again...HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY MEEMS!!



p.s. chicken nut bread!

the princess and her bird!

and so my weekend was spent quarreling with people..it's just that shitty mood and temper and attitude or whatever u wanna call it of mine. amazing how i managed to hold two extremely long arguments with those closest to me in a span of 12 hours..before i slept..and after i woke up. what the hell. of course there was the tears and that long face that i pulled..and then at the end of it all..i have achieved nothing but an even worser mood..and soured relationships...and all these because of the lack of sleep..wtf. so i resolved to be a better person..by taking a huge nap in the afternoon in order and getting rid of that hideous mood

well..thanks to the 'never ending flow of wine + photo taking galore' session at the carnivore...also known as MEEM'S 21st BIRTHDAY PARTY...which i just came back from..i think i've gotten rid of that gross attitude of mine already.so anyway.. after the never ending supply of meat accompanied by wine and champagne...everyone went mad taking photos and goofing around with the party pack! all the different groups that we thought up of to take photos in was just ultimately hilarious. and after the dinner..all of us headed off to taboo..and then quite a number of us were gone after that...not me of course!alright..here's presenting the bday girl! (more photos tmr...!)

yes..obviously she went a bit nuts after consuming the alcohol..and so here she is ..attempting to murder her own cake! HAPPY 2 days in advance 21st BIRTHDAY MEEMS!

in the midst of keeping silent and pretending to be hardworking..while containing my grumpiness during lecture today..i overheard one of us saying that there were a lot of bootlickers in our lecture. and i looked up, gave a smile, and nodded in approval.

but in the car on the way home just now...i started thinking...should these people who are opening their mouths to participate be considered as hardworking..and us who refuse to open our mouths be considered lazy? or ...should we be considered as the normal students..and they as the over enthusiastic boot-lickers?

at the finance planning talk just now..the speaker said something which i think is very true. he said that in life, there are three Ps that we have to let go of..and they are the past, pain, and the people who cause the pain. ok..i don't know how a finance planning talk led to that topic..but anyway...i agree with what he said. he said that in the day we may seem to be able to get on with life..but at night..we will start thinking of all the bad things that happened before and start feeling horrid..and that's exactly what's going on right now. i guess it's really essential to let go of the past..because then the pain would be gone..but..how easy is it to let of the people who cause the pain?

my temper and mood is like shit! i'm extremely grumpy and moody and i snap at anybody at any opportunity..if not i just keep quiet and refuse to answer anyone. argh! this is killing me. i'm so freaking tired :( i have no energy to do anything.

finally got my hostel..it's gonna be a busy weekend..but after this..i can finally settle down and start on my work..finding a place to settle down at, at home is driving me nuts..and having to queue for the internet...plus having all 3 printers down is like fcuk! i can't get any work done!

sigh...i shall go sleep soon..

cigarette smelling fingers and hair..
tired body and mind..
hot, sticky and grumpy...
suffering from absolute fatigue

came back an hour ago from 2 bashes - sim and arts- one of the worst clubbing times ever. felt absolutely tired and sian at both bashes...i think i'm quite past that clubbing stage already. after wally's and ben's pageants were over..my body and mind went into extreme hibernation mode..and the shuttling btw gotham penthouse and club momo and the 200% humidity of the atmosphere sure added to the tiredness and grumpiness. we left at 12 plus..the earliest ever..oh..of course there was tt time at zouk when i left at 11...ha..

eww..me and my stupid ideas and thoughts..thankfully i didn't do what i had in mind. if not the night would have been utterly ruined..and then i'd come home with bad feelings and guilt..and of course not forgetting, feeling like the biggest idiot on earth.

one should always learn from past mistakes...and never commit them again...

and just like that, the first week of school has gone past. soon the sem will be over again. haha..kidding. first week of school was spent stonning in the forum, making a huge attempt to pay attention in lectures ( i did for 3/4 of all lectures!), squeezing in the damn co-op to get my books (i only managed to get one..), printing notes and readings into the wee-hours of the night..lunch and movies in town..and....TRAVELLING. damn..i can't take this travelling anymore man. it's killing me. 3 hours to and fro for a 40 mins lecture..what the hell?! i say..what the hell?! totally unjustified! i need my hostel room NOW! yes..i've been checking my application status at least 3 times a day..for the past week.

"...there should be a feature about the haze in Malaysia on ChannelNewsAsia just before 8 am on Monday morning." a msg from our geog lecturer...yes..i'm sure i will wake up before 8am to catch that feature. i'd really rather read about it in the papers, or just read it from the CNA website...shit..signs of laziness already!

caught charlie and the chocolate factory with charlie himself...ok kidding..with cootie..the movie's good..but not fantastic..yes it's magical and all that jazz..but the very pretty johnny depp's acting was a little disappointing..he lacked that extra wackiness to match the eccentric character of willy wonka..jim carey would have been a better choice for this role.

wedding crashers with meems, manda, kun and jin...only two rows in the cinema were filled, and most of the time, the only sound i heard was meems' laughter...she was laughing like mad woman...and very loudly too! haha..meems u are a kok..but the show was even more kok than u!





nothing else that was extremely happening, happened this week. jam and hop and air lounge on fri with the girls, and some charity concert with kunies at src later...hope it'll end in time for us to catch the fireworks display at marina!


ok...i just found this in my laptop...and i have to post it...this is a pic of the hello kitty phone in peach's room..that i couldn't stop laughing at the first time i saw it. if you know peach...haha...yes you would laugh too. because hello kitty is definitely not her thing! haha..yes yes i know.."IT'S MY SISTER'S LA!"..but..i'm not believing what you say. haha! each time i step into her room..i HAVE to use the phone..because it just amuses me!


9 hours and it'll be the start of an entire new week at school..and yet another week of travelling..boy..am i looking forward to it.

basking in your momentary love...

it's scary when people say some things to me, and i find truth in what they are saying. i'm sad that what they say is true. i don't want it to happen, but i guess there's no stopping it.

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to ryhme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide


collide - howie day

people change unknowingly with their surrounding environment....

time will tell....

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

travelling's insane. hot like hell. many new faces. lecture was ok. i'm year 3 now. SHOCK..SHOCK..HORROR..HORROR!

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it come to being lucky he's cursed
When it come to loving me he's the worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure going to give you a try
And if you want I'll try to love again

the first cut is the deepest - sheryl crow

sandpaper-ish throat.leaky nose.blocked ears.head in a cloud.i've successfully contracted the cold from xing and sy. yay :( for the whole of yesterday evening and night.. i couldn't hear half of what people were saying to me, i didn't exactly know what was going on, and i can't really remember the people who were introduced to me.i was in a daze! but of course as usual..i'd smile and nod like as though i knew what was going on just to be polite...hahaha! thankfully watsons was still open at 9 plus and i managed to get the flu tablets..if not..the rest of my night would have gone down the drain.

i had a romantic dinner of beef noodles, some veg dish and a nice glass of barley at crystal jade, by the fountain of wealth whilst watching fireworks last night...awwww...how sweet...until i looked at my dinner date..and opposite me was peach..then i spat out all my food! HAHAHAHA!!! kidding la. so anyway..yes we had a very good seat outside crystal jade albeit next to the cleaning area -_-" where we managed to catch the entire 10-15 mins worth of fireworks display which was happening at marina bay.

last night was peach's first saturday off in donkey kong years...so meems, hobz and i being the nice friends we were..hung out with her..and gave her a taste of what a wonderful saturday night of chilling out with friends was like..haha crap.

we wanted to try the sheesha at arab street..but when we got there..the woman was a total bitch, and they didn't tell us that we had to wait 40 mins for it.after our 2 bucks teh peng (so bloody expensive!)arrived..we swallowed it down, cancelled our sheesha order, and headed off to our fav en lounge instead! 15 bucks for air con, nice red couches, plasma tv with mtv to watch and good service is much better than 8 bucks of crap! we also ordered two en-specials : cookies and cream and double choc..which were extremely yummy! then after tt bak kut teh at ms! and that was how my wonderful sat night went!

oh! we pulled a mercedes a class ad stunt on hobz! we were waiting at esplanade for chan, when hobz got out of the car to take photos of the durains...and when she tried to get into the car..meems drove off..haha..peach, meems and i laughed until we almost died in the car n hobz laughed like an idiot to herself on the street. and when she finally caught up with us..and tried to reach for the door...we meems drove off again!! hahahaha!!

argh!! sch tmr!! boohooo...

all my modules for the coming sem's up

GE2204 - cities in transition
GE3231 - natural hazards
NM2220 - media writing
LAB 2210 - bahasa indonesia level 2
PC1323 - great ideas in comtemporary physics

i just checked the ivle...lecture notes, reading lists, media files, emails about project outlines and tons of other work are already up. omg! i feel the stress setting in already. only 4 words can describe this sem...work hard or die! one and a half days to the start of school...freedom and slacking..goodbye.

dear peach..i bet you are elated that tim bunell's the co-lecturer for cities..stop stalking him!

while i wait for my flen to feeneese his nehdels i'll blog abt something tt has been repeating in my head since tues....

"..........sembilan sembilan sembilan" ok..that means 999 in malay. i was in the mrt the other day and the announcement about the suspicious items came on in malay. and i only caught the last part...so of course i know it means "dial 999". which got me thinking...in english, 9 is just one syllable..but in malay it's 3!! can u imagine in an emergency..like let's say a robbery...we can just shout..."somebody call 999!!!"...but if we were to say it in malay it's "seseorang panggil (ok this is definitely not correct..but anyway..) sembilan sembilan sembilan!"...seriously..by the time u reach "...sembi..." the robber wld have ran away already!!

....which again got me thinking...crazy..why do numbers in malay have so many syllables?!...satu, dua, tiga, empat, lima, enam, tujuh, delapan, sembilan, sepuluh! ok..have u tried counting in malay before?? let's say you wanna say one thousand four hundred fifty nine..that would be 9 syllables in english..in malay it would be seribu empat ratus lima pulu sembilan..14 syllables! crazy isn't it?! seriously...if you are very free..go challenge urself by taking malay or bahasa indonesia...u may think it's chicken feet...but wait till you reach the numbers and time lesson...major headache! and..i'm gonna take level 2 bahasa indonesia...as excited as i am about taking it...i am definitely afraid too!

i finally drove alone today...after so long!! :( ok i shan't say where i drove to..so pathetic..haha.. kunies is officially my first passenger! hmm..maybe i can get to drive to school..yea ..fat hope!

movies at elias road again! kill bill and kill bill 2 this time round with meems, kun and hobz. oh man...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. quentin tarantino shows are different, and it's good to catch a show that's out of the norm once in a while.. but...two films by him..my god..cannot take it...tooo boring already. i can't take the gore! but wouldn't mind watching reservoir dogs one day.

then off to town..and we got free passes at to land of the dead at galilee and friends! yay! in return for the free passes..i shall help to encourage more ppl to go there...for breaded mosarella cheesesticks and chicky chunks of course! haha!

joke of the day...
sis: eh i want to use the toilet leh
me: go la...no one's in there anymore
mom: got what...ur friend...boxer is still in there
me: erm...who's boxer???
mom: errrr..the one in green...oh no..what's her name ah? boxer right???
me:...........HOBDAY LA!!!!

hobz thinks my entry's boring and she's been blogging for the past hour but is not done yet..so i shall give a leetle more details about last night.haha

timothy thought hil was indian when he first heard her name..and then when he met her..he insisted she was indian, and kept saying.."for an indian she's quite succesful in dressing like a chinese". haha..wth. then in zouk...his friends said "oh tt girl is quite hot ah"..and he said.."oh she's an indian"..and all of them got a shock and they immediately went" no no no!! we are not interested already!" and they ran off! hahahaha!! erm..hil..haha...sorry no can helpch u

i asked this fella last night..so are u interested in my friend? and he replied in a smug manner..."i think you should ask ur friend if she's interested in me more like it. as for me..it's for me to know and for you to find out." this is what i have to say to him..haha..my friend says you are yucks...and omg..i have never met anyone more sucky than you..so go fly kite.

hobz and i were dancing together when her friend shaun asked..."can i be in the middle?"hahahahaha!! i laughed until i couldn't breathe! and then he tried to get his friend to dance with someone...but she kept running away from him! hahahahah!! so he started telling me how.. erm.. no Bs his friend was....ok i really didn't catch what he was saying..so..to be polite i just laughed..hur hur

and then this person who went with us to zouk..tried to get fresh with someone..yuck pervert! so we formed our protective circle..and when he couldn't get through it he went off to god knows where..and we couldn't be bothered to find out..and we left zouk without bothering too. haha. we also saw someone in zouk..holding the hands of this girl who waved to me..and i waved back coz i thought it was the guy's gf(and also because i'm friendly..duh!)..but then when we took a second look...omg! who the hell is that?! tsk..guys....

then there was another girl who started this conversation with me and stopped me from going to the bar..and after like 5 mins she asked me..."where's esther?" and i asked her.."who is esther?!" then she said.."omg! u're not with us?!" so i replied..."no!"HAHAHA...wtf...why the hell did i even talk to her?!

ok last story..i met kelvin fu at zouk (he asked abt u jin!)..and from far..he pointed to me and said "hey!!!"..then walked over and said.. "you are ...errm...ok..wait i remember...xiu hua right?!"...O_O"...XIU HUA?!?! that is even worse than my name!!

hobz..detailed enough?!

comedy night

cjc band investiture last night..i was late as usual. haha but anyway no loss..so boring..sit there and watch them give out the badges and say their thank you speeches blah blah blah. but what amused me was how united the band is right now. we used to have cliques in the band..and we secretly cursed each other. haha..time sure flew by..4 years ago my batch was the first to have the investiture..and fortunately...i did not have to address the band when i stepped down, unlike the poor fella last night...yuck..hate to do this kind of stupid things!

what was supposed to be a boring night in zouk turned out to be one of the best times in zouk ever. it was comedy night in zouk. so many things happened that i couldn't stop laughing...and am still suffering from the laughing syndrome now.

i think phuture changed some of their bartenders..they are much nicer and friendlier now..haha..and there was one who doubled up as an entertainer and performed some monk act that made me laugh till i ended up squatting on the floor!

talked to someone whom i would normally pretend i don't know and found out that he's actually not that bad after all...met a few pri sch friends who couldn't recognise me...and made a number of new friends. and of course..hobz and i spent the entire night laughing at naughty friends..we were the only sober ones..the pics can prove that point!

due to certain reasons..i can't reveal more about last night...but..if u really want to know..go read hobz blog...hahahaha

yay! my tagboard is working again!

is it possible to cut ur hair long?? coz that's what i did today..the length of my hair is longer than before i cut my hair..yes...i finally did my hair today after procrastinating for 3 months. i have long hair again..for the sake of my grades for next sem...i better listen to mdm indra's advice! it took me four and a half long hours to get my hair done..thank god for the handphone..because it was what kept me occupied for those torturous hours and the nice short visit by meems and kuns! throughout the entire process i transformed from bob marley BOOM hair to cocker spaniel to sadako to alien and finally ending up as a peanut m&m with long straight hair!i would have taken some pics of the entire process and posted them here..but i think it's better i save myself from the embarrassment..so thisis the end result.

i hate my fringe..but i listened to someone and left it at the length where it touches my cheeks.."ur cheeks ah..not above your nose or below your nose...cheeks!" were the exact words of advice(plus a whole 10 mins more of instructions of course).. to which i replied..."errrm....what's the diff? aren't they the same area??"..haha..kok..so anyway yes they are there! but i'm thinking if i should go back to chop them off to till my eyes..heh

eh-nee-way..dinner at galilee and friends with meems and kuns and hobz..errr yes and being an extra at nick's bday dinner..my fav chicky chunks and omg...everybody pls go there and try the breaded mozarella cheese sticks! if you love cheese...this is the thing for u! caught crash with cootie after that. erm i would love to talk about the show..but after reading cootie's whole entry about crash..i think i shall just save my energy.

zouk tmr..it's been a long time! so sad...kun jin n meems cannot go :( but luckily there's hobz to liquor to...hahahha!!
