omg...i must say ayy is really the worst direction giver ever on planet earth! harry...if u think i am horrid...i say you are wrong! haha. on wed night after study camp, meems, hobz , ayy and i piled into meems car and made our way to west mall coz mel wanted to get some notes from her friend zaky...and we got directions from wally...but kinda forgot along the way..but..we thought that we'd manage to get there because our dear ayy said "trust me! i know the way!"...so we did....
after we passed jurong bus interchange...we were supposed to go straight ahead..but ayy started tapping on the window and shouting....go there! go there! ..now...where the hell is there ayy?! we can't interpret taps on the window from the front seat of the car while you are sitting behind!after much laughing and "you suck!"s, we figured that she was asking us to turn left...and then what happens??? we start heading down the road towards BOON LAY!
then our other passenger in the back...dear hobz..started shouting..."we are in kranji! i know! trust me! i know ok! i was just here yesterday!" then all 3 of us starts arguing with her that kranji is definitely not here..because we're following the west mrt line and not the north one!...but then she keeps insisting we are at kranji until we finally pass the sign that says LAKESIDE then she believes we are not at kranji..
these two koks...i swear......you dunno to laugh at them or strangle them! never take directions from them!
in the end..meems and i had to trade seats..and i drove while she read the street directory (no more instructions from ayy!)
so...we're nearing westmall...but we freaking can't find the macs...so we just keep going round and round the estate...and ayy starts tapping on the window and saying..."there!! the macs is there!! believe me la!! it's really there!" ..so all of us stare out the window but none of us see the macs! after much laughing once again...we finally arrive at macs!
if you've been to the science park...you'll know about that roller coaster ride slope...which i've never known about in my whole life! anyway..omg...it can freaking cause your heart to fly out of your mouth! so on our way back..we decide to head to the slope for some cheap thrill before going home...and then this time round..we put ayy in the front seat...because she insisted she knows the way back there!
hence we set out on our journey! along the way ayy keeps saying..."wahh!! it's damn exciting! i want to try it again! we must go a few times!"while hobz is sitting at the back and protesting like hell because she hates the heart-flying-out-of-your-mouth feeling! ayy gives the directions and we drive drive drive...then suddenly from the back...
me:"hey how come clementi fire station is in jurong?! so weird!"
hobz: "isn't this the way to your home elaine?!yayy!! no slope!! heng ah!"
meems:"no la it isn't....we're on the way to the slope! wait a min...isn't your home straight ahead elaine?!?!?!"
ayy: "yar...just go ahead and turn right it's my house already!"
3 of us:"...............!!!!!!!!!!OH MY GOD ELAINE ANG!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! WHY YOU DIRECT US TO YOUR HOUSE?!?!?!?"
ayy: "why? we're going back to my house what"
meems and i: "you keep saying you want to go to the slope too then why the hell you direct us to your house?!"
ayy:"hahahaha..i don't know the way to the slope! it's very complicated! we have to make a big round back there then back to my house!"
all of us:"........................!!!!!!!!!!!!"
in the end....after she got super a lot of scolding from us...we finally made it back to the slope and we went down it three times! haha! oh..and that biggest kok on earth...when we were like 5km away from the slope...she already started screaming in the car -_-"
only two words for you ayy...YOU SUCK! hahahahahah!

the things people do...
Saturday, October 15, 2005
we stood at the external hard drive section for what seemed like ages choosing between the astone or seagate. seriously...i have never ever heard of these two brands before..ok maybe seagate...but never astone. astone was about 50 bucks cheaper for every disk memory capacity available...but in the end seagate won...i would think because of it's packaging!
so we bought the 120GB seagate external hard drive that came in this superbly beautiful big black (my fav!) box [picture the box that ur ipod came in and you'd get what i mean..]with the words "experience" printed across the cover...and wrapped beautifully..and it cost a bomb..259 bucks. and when we got home...i opened the huge box only to find this puny cpu looking thing sitting in the box..which got me totally pissed off..because..hey man! why give such a huge box when the thing's so damn small?! and..now i can't bear to throw the box away because it's so nice..but yet i have no use for it! sigh...

120GB Baracuda USB Hard Drive
the very nice black box
so..the conclusion of this story...i'm a sucker for packaging!
and..the computer heads!

of course we all know who this is...liang po po! hahahahaha...alright..it's actually peach.. if i were in my evil mood, i'd post the pic of her looking like E.T. haha..but nope..i'm in my nice mood today..so this one's up!
then there is fengyi...she has this slightly dazed look 24/7..haha and i realised today everytime when she open her mouth to speak..everyone else will speak at the same time...so in the end no one's listening to her! so tragic!

then..my sec 3 and 4 classmate..the blur kok iris! she's the reason why we're doing the proj together. because peach and i were late for our first tut..and everyone else had already formed their groups by the time we got there :s but luckily iris didn't have enough people yet..so we quickly chiong and choped her and gwen!
lastly..gwen..this is the kok of the group! just by the look of her photo you know what a kok she is already! her deafness is just freaking funny...this is why..one day during tut...
me: aye! you look like my friend donna!
gwen: huh?! i look like madonna?!??!!
after that she got stuck with the nickname madonna..and the best part of it all..when she emailed us the other day...she signed off as madonna! peach and i laughed like hell!
today...
me: ok bye madonna! by the way i love your new single!
gwen: ok bye bye! huh what?! where is my bicycle?!?! what bicycle?!?!?
omg...peach and i couldn't stop laughing at her after that!
oh..we met benson outside the lib today...for once he does not look like an ah beng because he cut his hair
me: benson! aye..you cut your hair?
benson: aye! ya ya..nice or not?
me: not bad...you don't look beng anymore...
benson: (to peach) aye!...my hair nice or not?
peach: ya ya nice...you look like a butch now!
benson: !!!!!!!!!!!!!! yar now i'm becoming bisexual...
me: erm.......butch does not apply for guys.....

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY XING!
the black one of course! because..black is my fav colour! for those who don't know that...haiz...
anyway...i spent the entire night figuring out how to use the nokia pc suite and how to store mp3s, photos and what nots into the memory card of the hp..why? because i refuse be a slave of technology! i will never let them rule over me...i must always figure out how to use any tech stuff! hah! i like to be tech savvy..and not succumb to society's stereotyping of females as tech idiots...bladee blah blah blah...
i'm utterly sad that my panasonic x70 died on me :(

i waited for a whole yr to buy it...because i saw it in the business times in jan 2003 and i finally got it in dec 2005..but alas...it didn't last for 2 yrs :( (and i'm still paying for tt stupid starhub plan......bah!) and my dad can't stop calculating how the phone cost him a thousand bucks in all and it didn't even last for 2 yrs...eh not true lor...it didn't cost a thousand bucks when i bought it..he just happily add the subscription and phone bills and everything...and the even sadder part is that i'm a super big panasonic fan..because of the clam shell phones..but the sms-ing kills..and the phone has too many probs..sobz
............................
last sat was xing's 21st bday..and she held it at park lane service apartment.very nice place! but a little small for a huge party though! we the gluttons wiped out her entire buffet table..only after everyone stopped eating of course..haha..and then we hung ard until about 2 before mel, jin, hobz and i headed to mustafa. i got to drive mel's saab...woohoo..it was so nice! but driving to mustafa in the night's kinda scary man! we circled the whole place a few times before parking a street away from mustafa. we spent i dunno how long in that dusty place..and finally left with some kok purchases... then headed to geylang for tao huay...
guess who we saw there? zhang yao dong aka mj again...sianz...forever seeing him
we pretended that we didn't notice him..but the tao huay auntie spoilt it for us...
auntie to zyd(in chinese): wa! u're the actor right?! i keep thinking how come u are so familiar! now i remember that i saw u on tv!
zyd: heh heh heh
us (behind him) : *snigger*
then the auntie walks towards our table..and while i am still laughing at the kok thing she did...she taps me on the shoulder and went
auntie: ni hou mian zuo ge ming xing leh!!! (there's a star behind u!)
me: errr...orh...hur hur...
auntie: ming xing leh! ni zhi dao mah??
me: *nod nod* ah..zhi dao...
then she turns to walk away...and i turn to mel and make one of my kok faces...and then wah lau the auntie turns ard and catches me making the stupid face...sianz -_-"
anyway...on the way to my home after tt ...mel drove over i shan't say what..but it was yucky..so we headed to the car wash to get her car cleaned up...and then guess what? the name of the car wash was..."wash and run" -_-"
so we sat in the car while the people gave the car a foam wash..which was quite exciting...coz i haven't been in one for the longes time ever..hahaha...in the car
jin: aye...won't the water leak into the car??
mel and i: errr........!!!!
mel: eh then how do u think i normally wash my car??
jin: errr....oh ya ah...
us: hahahahhaha..kok!
while waiting for the man to finish cleaning the car...
mel: ah faa...shld i pee at ur house or here ah???

shattered
what good would believing be, if all it brings are disappointments?
and what good would praying bring, if all it brings are unanswered prayers?
it should not have been this hard
it should have brought bliss
but all it brought was hardship, a broken heart and buckets full of tears.

thurs was elaine's retrocious party at olive ristorante in labrador park! the place is as spooky as ever..and nope we didn't go for any adventure walks this time round. pete the kok didn't know that it was the same place as the one we went to the other time with ben and wally...and he was among the first to reach labrador park. and what did he msg me?? "omg! it's the same place that we went to the other time!" hahaha! i bet u were "not scared" pete...u were so "brave"..still want to go for a walk up that nice dark path! anyway the party was fun..coz at least most of the people bothered to dress up! and after tt we went club hopping for like 3 hours..by the time we settled down in Happy..all of us were stoned already! but the bday girl was still full of energy!..she's mad. hahahaha..kidding! and then hobz stayed over at my place.
after 3 hrs of sleep that night..i woke up for a proj meeting that lasted for 3 hours..omg! totally drained. and then i rushed back to the hostel to change..when i entered my room..this euradian who was sitting on my bed shouted in the most out of tune chinese to me..."oh! lao puo! ni hui lai la?!" hahahhaha!!! anyway then i met ff in town to shop! i bought a top from inc. (one of my fav shops!) which i wore later in the night. heh! then from town i rushed to ikea and cold storage to buy stuff for cootie's bday present..back to my room to put them nicely in the box...meet viv..then bathe and changed and rushed to dxo for hil's pageant preview...
dear hilly...although u didn't win the miss bikini award...in our hearts you are the hottest and the best!
then us girls went to en lounge again for sheesha..ok..everybody must try taking 10 puffs of the sheesha at one go...you'll go high immediately after that! the look on peach's face after 10 puffs was just worth a million bucks...kunies started playing an invisible flute..and meems started hitting my leg! it was absolutely hilarious! but then yj's the champ..after 25 puffs..she was still sane! haha..we worship the ground you walk on OH-GREAT-CANNOT-GET-HIGH-YJ! hahaha
and after tt i met cootie to celebrate his bday for him!
now..the weekend was spent lazing in bed for the entire sat and then dinner in town with my sisters! my sis got her first pay so she treated us to dinner at jack's place..and she's paying for my birks! woohoo! then after tt we walked ard town and she bought a skirt from fcuk..while ff bought some tops from mango and a skirt from p.o.a.(another of my fav shops!) i must say..ff has been having a time of life coz she's been shopping for the past 3 days..and she spends every other hour trying on her new clothes or admiring her loot!
concussed for the entire sunday except for the 4 hrs that i was up for lunch and to watch sch of rock and peter pan...and i'm suffering from extreme muscle ache :(
was extremely independent this weekend..i travelled home and back to the hostel on my own! what a good girl i am! the truth is...my parents had to attend wedding dinners for both nights..so i had no one to fetch me back :(
HAPPY 23rd BIRTHDAY COOTIE!
HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY ELAINE!
p.s. other than the big beetle that scared the hell out of us..your flora and fauna party was great! and i wish i had a pic of u in that wig!

4am chatters with gross friend hobz
aye do u think my shit tmr will be orange? coz i eat cheeseballs and super rings?
saltz says:

Both of us never tiring, desperately wanting. says:

Both of us never tiring, desperately wanting. says:
damn smelly
saltz says:
firstly...whose shit is not smelly?
saltz says:

Both of us never tiring, desperately wanting. says:

..............only u will take note of such things!
Both of us never tiring, desperately wanting. says:
pout
Both of us never tiring, desperately wanting. says:
i observant lor
saltz says:
u are just gross lor....
ok..peach says tt we talk rubbish at 430 am...but then..who talks about serious stuff at 430 am?! alright...here's some serious stuff regarding the consumption patterns in urban environment..about how the exclusive, style-oriented and distinctive consumption pattern evolved in urban environments during the 1980s...
"Firstly, the post-war 'baby-boomer' generation was characterised by an accent on exploration of self-awareness. During the late 1960s this was achieved through the widespread adoption of a number of counter-cultural movements......failure of these movements to deliver such self-awareness and freedom led to this urge being satisfied through the pursuit of individualised patterns of consumption."
"Second, the polarisation of economic opportunity and income....created with them a number of jobs at the upper end of the spectrum that did not carry with them any inherent social status. This missing social status had to be constructed. Again consumption was the mechanism through which this was achieved."
my take on this reasoning..."eh! what rubbish la......???"haha...sorry..like very shallow...but then it's really 430am..and that was the only thing that went through my head...if not i'd have more to say to tt...people sure know how to reason out their bad consumption habits eh??
tmr...my conclusion on why there's an increasing amount of people who refuse to commit..
around singapore in 4 hours
me:where are u now?
peach: national library...where are u all going?
me: to great world city...
peach: for what? oh..to buy the pin..pin..piTANA is it?
me: hahahhaa
elaine: u suck la! pinata la! not pitana la!
haha..anyway...when we got there..wah lau..the shop only had 4 pinatas. soccer ball, weird looking dragon, some flat round one and the other i don't even know what the hell is it..
so we replanned our route..and decided to go to town to do our brows first..then to holland v to get the pinata. but first we went to og..and we found a lot of kok stuff there..but then we found out from manda ong tt concourse has the pinata..so we rushed down in a cab..and found like a million there! see...elaine and her great ideas..if we had just stuck with going to concourse first..we wouldn't have wasted our time by going to great world. haha!
while at the cab stand at sommerset...we both keep going over our plan of where to go next..and then it keeps changing each time we go through it...then she says to me...
elaine: you are a scatterMIND la!!!
me:..............???
elaine: aye! i mean scatterBRAIN!
me: hahahhaha i am telling hobz later!
elaine: NO!!!
ok never mind...then when the cab comes...dunno who's the kok who puts out her hand and FLAGS for the cab AT THE TAXI STAND! and immediately withdraws it...then gives me a sheepish look...bursts out laughing and says....
elaine: did you see that?!?!
me: HAHAHAHA of course!! i am telling!!!!!
elaine: NOOOO!!!
me: HAHAHAHA!
we spent like a whole hour buying party stuff at concourse..and hobz and meems came to join us there..then we went crazy buying super rings and cheeseballs and hello panda. we came out of the shop with like 4 big bags full of snack..1 damn ugly parrot pinata that looks just like elaine (kidding!)...some good stuff tt people have to wear tmr..and hordes of sweets to stuff into the parrot.
then we hung ard bk while waiting for meem's dad to arrive..and headed to purvis st for dinner with her dad. and during dinner....
hobz: (picking at the plate of kailan) aye..what is this?!
me: ikan bilis la!
hobz: are u sure?! it looks like a worm!
me: (stares at it)...errr....yar ah..there's no ikan bilis in the veg...errr....
meem's dad: it's ok..it's just a caterpillar
us: arghhhh!!!!!!!!!
elaine: *gag gag gag* yucks! i'm damn digusted! (opens her mouth and shows me the half chewed kailan!)
me: yuuccckkk!!!
after we complained..they gave us back a larger plate of kailan..but we bet they bluffed us that they cooked a new plate by just adding more veg to the one tt we ate halfway! and after dinner...the kok and i head back to town AGAIN..where we met mel pang to get some kok wig...that she intends to wear tmr..haha..i can't wait to see!

now..what i really want to talk about in this entry...is the beef and mushroom pie...and of course the rest of the pastry that we got last night. right now i'm wondering if ck had tears in his eyes while he ate his and whether he slapped himself to see if he was in a dream. hahaha...this pie is not any ordinary pie(ok la..i'm definitely exaggerating)..it's a pie from pregos that we got for a very good price last night..and we couldn't stop thinkin about the time when we would be able to sink our teeths into them the following morning.
anyway...had dinner with kenny and ck, at ck's aunt's place again. and this time round i had this burger called..erm...haha i forgot. anyway the beef patty was very good! and kenny had creamy grilled dory..or something like that la. and then because the old man ck forgot about our dinner appt..he had to treat the both of us to a smoothie each. heh heh. and.."taufik"works in ck's aunt's cafe...
me: aye...taufik's working here!
ck: ya! that's what i thought when i saw him...he's new
me: oh ya..never see him the last time...
.....
me:wow..taufik's really dilligent man...he's been working like super hard the whole night
ck: what to do? his records aren't selling well....
me: -_-"
then after tt..kenny drove us to pregos where we had our dessert.. the three of us shared...one tiramisu, one redbean/green tea/coffee cake, one chocolate mousse thing, and one fruit tart...wah lau..it was damn good. and then i bought one tiramisu and one of tt redbean/green tea/coffee cake for cootie..and he too agreed it's good! anyway..the tiramisu is a must try...it looks like the driest thing ever on earth..but when u bite it...!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok..go try yourselves!
ok anyway that's not the highlight of the dessert session...the highlight of tt whole session..was when tears started forming in ck's eyes...HAHAHAHAH!!
me: omg...are those tears in ur eyes???
kenny: hahahaha!!!!!
ck: i really hate eating cakes! but this is really super good! i've never tasted such good cakes before! i feel like i have just had the best food in my life!! *tears forming in his eyes*
me: hahahahha..you are mad!!
ck: have you ever had that feeling when you know you just had super good food, and you know that you are satisfied then it's time to stop?!
me: errm...yes ....
ck: exactly how i'm feeling now! but i can't stop!!!
me and kenny: errrr.....hahhahaha...SIAO!
....in the lift..still going on about how good the cakes were...
ck: wahhh it's reallly super good...how do people make such good cakes???
both of us: *silence* hahahhaha!!
yes...if u want to experience what ck went through..go and try the cakes..if you don't agree with us...then you are mad..but if you think that you need to beat someone up coz you think we have wasted your time..go find ck. hahaha
!!! taufik's 'back up against the wall' is playing on the radio!!

I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I learned the hard way, to never let it get that far
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
Over the same damn thing
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you

booooo...physics test yesterday was a major flop..but aiya whatever..i could barely keep my eyes open. yesterday was hell..i couldn't stay awake at all. and then i had to be chosen as a debator in geog tut! and the guy b4 me said all my points! :S so i just blabbed some rubbish and the judges said i wasn't sure what i was talking about. DUH! i wasn't even paying attention throughout the whole tut...and my points were stolen by someone else..you think i would be alert enough to think up some good points in the 1 min that i had there?
alright i better go back to my media writing.....
"writing is physically difficult because it requires the writer to maintain a stationary position and concentrate for a long time. writing is mentally difficult because of the effort it takes to know a subject well enough and to think clearly enough to put one's thoughts about the subject down on paper........."
my response to this...absolutely correct! it cannot be better said!
dear hobz...yes yakking again soon! haha yar...i will help you once i've helped myself.
to my ff sister...ehhhh...show me the money! i paid for your birks!
Monday, September 12, 2005
anyway...life's been alright..other than the tremendous amount of work that i have..i think everything else is pretty ok...or so i hope. oh yes..i have a major problem. i can't stop sleeping. maybe's it's my room..but i really think my timing's all screwed up. next week's the long awaited mid term break...argh! half the sem's gone again! what the hell! time's passing too quickly! and there're gonna be some fun stuff next week. i'll update when they happen.
for now..i'm off to fill my very empty tummy.

i wish to one day, stand infront of all of you, and laugh a hearty laugh at what i've become, and what you've all become.to laugh at the wrong decision you made back then. to laugh at your stupidity. to how you didn't see everything. to how you were blinded. to how much more worse you were than i was. to just laugh, that hearty laugh.
