french and saunders

don't know how many of you can appreciate british humour..but do watch this star wars spoof by the clowns from french and saunders. at times i don't get british humour too...but dawn french is really one of the best comedians around. those who have watched vicar of dibley will know what i mean. she's hilarious! when i was in sydney they showed vicar of dibley for the entire night on one of the cable channels, and i was absolutely addicted to it! and on the plane to hk, they showed it too...my sis and laughed like mad on the plane...i think the other passengers might have thought we were mad!

for people like peter who's pia-ing projs too...here's more entertainment...hope it helps to make the dull and boring nights better! good luck for the assignments and tough week ahead man! haha!

it is IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII...the BLIND KUNGFU MASTER!!

please please please check this out! i cannot say how FREAKING FUNNY IT IS! cootie and i have been imitating this video clip since we watched it yesterday!

kitchen misfortunes

there's this person in my cluster who seems to like to steal other people's food and use other people's utensils...but somehow it seems that this person happens to always steal and use this particular girl's stuff. no matter what that bugger does...it seems like the stuff that she stole or used belongs to the girl who stays opposite me. and anyway...i don't know what are the chances of her reading this ...but i must say...she is really quite an anal bitch.

when i first moved into this cluster one sem ago, we had a cluster meeting, and she already presented to everyone how anal she was. she made it a point to 'gently remind' everyone of various incidents that occured in the previous sem (apparently she has been staying in this cluster for 4 sems already) which involved her stuff being stolen or used once again. all i can say is...hard luck. you are just downright suay. the residents of each cluster change every sem and it just seems like everytime only ur stuff get stolen or used. either everybody hates you hence they keep stealing your stuff...or someone up there hates you..hence (S)He keeps allowing your stuff to get stunted.

back to what i was saying....this anal neighbour of mine...she LOVES leaving warning notes in the kitchen. she pastes them on the fridge, above the sink, on the table...ANYWHERE. i mean sometimes i pity her for getting her stuff stolen...BUT....I am getting increasingly pissed with seeing her notes everywhere! and this time round..she posted a note...which i couldn't help but be a bitch and post on my blog...............

the reason why i took a pic of this note is. because.......please read the last two lines......."PLEASE CLEAN JOYCE THE DAMN THING!" hahaha i laughed out loud to myself in the kitchen when i saw her note! yes...i know the joyce part is supposed to be her signing off..but it just looks like she is calling herself a damn thing! anyway........what i have to say to her is...if you so can't stand people using your pot...KEEP IT IN YOU ROOM THEN YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYMORE! TSK!

alright..cheap thrill...back to work.

mno1001

sqwak! screw u blogger! i typed so much and then u had to hang! bah! now i have to start all over again! :(

ANYWAY...i was complaining about how i had so much work to do on sunday! yes...its time to whine again! haha...nah...what i said was ...i went to phins steakhouse to do my mno proj last night. yes..on a sunday night..i had to do proj..nus sucks! but luckily all we had to do was to observe how good or rather...bad the service at phins was. and all i have to say is...their waitresses face are so black..they make charcoal look fair! kns there was one particular one...her face was so black i almost slapped her! and i was so close to telling their manager tt if they wanted to charge us 10percent svc charge..they better make sure their staff know how to smile...lemme show u all the the black face woman.........

there...can u see her???........no right?? ..........

there she is! know why u cldn't see her? because yishu's phototaking skills suck! he took so long to pretend tt he was taking something else that when he finally snapped...she caught him pting the camera at her! so she hid behind the sign! he is the worse private eye amongst all of us! haha

and these are the people i went to phins with....

yishu, puay fang and adec...and of course the ketchup drinker is me!

ok i must say that i am quite thankful that my proj members are fun people..because i am taking mno alone! my first module alone! yar i know i suck...but i am super not independent when it comes to attending classes. i MUST have a friend with me...if not i will die. and last sem's geog tut is a perfect example...my proj group was how horrendous! so...thank god for these people...or..in my mom's words...thankSS god! hahaahah!

anyway...back to phins...the verdict is...excellent food..good and cheap but......FREAKING BAD SERVICE!

i talked abt procrastinating in my last post and how i should NOT do it...but guess what? yuppp...i am at it again! and this time...peach is super close to strangling me, because she is waiting to see what i have written, but all i have written is...one line.

supposed to start on fri night, but the 5 days of essay writing killed me, and i decided to take a little break by going to walas intead...and then i was in this yea i shld chill mood...so i downed two and a half beers...chill i did indeed. i chilled till the next day...because when i came back..i was seh...so i slept. wtf.

and then i spent sat afternoon researching, and went to the lib for a bit to get my book and meet a friend. n i had dinner with my parents at the ship..and when i got back to the hostel i was going to start on my work..when i was called for duty. duty to slack. and off to hv i went...then to west coast macs..and returned at 330am.

i bathed, i masked, i brushed my teeth...and sat down to read the books i borrowed...and then what happens??...i get invited to bfast! jolly hell...so at 545am...i am off to west coast macs again! there goes the entire night..and when does my soci essay get completed? haha...definitely before peach wakes up tmr...i hope! haha

freak...what the hell is wrong with me...

5.04 am and i have a paper due at 4pm. i am only at 500 words for my 2000 words esasy...brilliant! and i am starting to feel sleepy...booohoo. the only two people i'm talking to now are yoyo and harry...why? because they are not in singapore. so that makes me the only sad sod who is awake at 5am in the morning when everyone else's happily snoozing away. lesson learnt: STOP FREAKING PROCRATINATING!

horror week! totally buried by work this week..1 test and 5 papers due...majorly sian. manage to finish 3 of it already, now i'm left with visual images which is a 2000 word paper that is due tmr, and which i have not started :s and soci....i think peach wait for me to start on the paper until she want to vomit blood already...but seriously...paiseh! i can only start on fri..i'll consolidate the paper!

taking yet another one of betty crocker's 'baking classes' this sem! she is a killer! she really thinks we are working in a firm or something...giving us a major assignment each week! i have to admit that her modules are the only useful things that i have learnt in cnm for the whole six sems that i have spent in this shit-hole of a university...but argh! she is a murderer! and viv, jin and i seriously think she hates us! haha...yesterday, when she asked me "so tell me again..am i pronouncing your name right???" ..her blue eyes were shooting darts/daggers/swords/bullets at me! i felt so intimidated!

this is what we're doing or have been doing this semester...organizational research,web critique,newsletter,flier,folder and last of all a website. i hereby declare that InDesign is the crappiest program to use on earth..the only thing it teaches you is..PATIENCE! freaking stubborn program! don't buy it! but anyway...i finally found out where the print screen button on my laptop is (heh) and this is what the stuff i've done look like...

newsletter........

ok..we had guidelines for the newsletter ...so the articles and pictures were given to us, but we had to photoshop all the pics, and do the layout and everything ourselves

flier.....

this...we had to design and do on our own...and my sis says it looks more like a bank ad than a tourism ad...booohoo...but anywya i think it sucks...i created it one night before it was due. and i am definitely one of the least creative people on planet earth

non-desperate non-housewives

hil: "if we were housewives a 100 years ago, i am sure we will be condemned!"

how absolutely true man...if you ever look at us cook...i don't think you will want to eat! but whatever it is..the food always turns out super yummy!

tonight, chef gwee, chef goh, and chef koh got together for yet another one of their absolutely fantastic and yummy (and disastrous) cooking sessions....

chef gwee, chef goh, chef koh!

after a trip to the very convenient, convenience store located in pgp..aka georgies mart... the three brilliant chefs trotted(no pun intended) back to the kitchen at level 6 in blk 5 and spent a few minutes figuring out the very complex mind-boggling puzzle of pot/bowl switching...and finally...the cooking began.

tonight on the menu....

udon with sausages.....

which was later combined with the cream of mushroom soup...

and for dessert...sesame paste tang yuan with red bean soup! blardee red bean soup took freaking 2 hours to cook! @#!(^#!#(!#

and all these for a good 5 bucks! cheap and good!

next week on the menu: mee goreng with half boiled egg and sausage...dessert...unconfirmed! who's up for it?!

HAPPY **th BIRTHDAY POPS!!!

three days late but still happy **th birthday pops! why **? because...as much as a woman does not like to reveal her age...i know my pops doesn't like to either...as though everyone don't already know how old he is...haha! i shall save everyone from the mushy boring stuff tt children say to their parents on their birthday and talk about the dinner instead.

planned long ago to treat my dad to dinner at the crazy horse cabaret and to a show after that..but if any of you have ever gone to check out the price...a decent dinner would cost $75+++ per person (my family has 5 people!!) and a decent seat for the cabaret costs $150 per person...which means...yes work your brains..work your brains....$1125+++ in all..means approx $281.25 for each of us. not funny lor. that would mean eating grass for two whole months for me. and $150 to watch topless girls in g-string prancing on the stage and doing some pole dance...isn't very funny either. they serve french food for the dinner...and knowing my dad..he will be like...wah this kind eat already not full -_-"

then we came up with another brilliant idea...lawry's! so the plan was set and we started saving money and blah blah blah..then we realised...pops doesn't eat steak...why? because he wants to be a holy man and abstain from beef *sqwak* so that's out too.

leave it to the brilliant lady of the house...the mother of course...who decided that a good ten course dinner at the tung lok restaurant..with the extended family would please my dad to the max...so that's where we ended up at! brilliant food and service i must say! the food was absolutely yummy..other than the sharksfin :( and they gave us a private room..how cool?!

the first dish was utterly amazing...i still can't get over how big the shou bao was! it was as big as a the helmet motorcyclists' wear!!!!...don't believe me?? let me prove it to you.......

H-U-G-E ain't it????

the rest of the dishes...no pics...we didn't even get to see them coz the very efficient waitress zoomed in...pushed it in my dad's face..announce the name of the dish..scuttled off and divided it into 10 portions and distributed it to everyone! how efficient they are!

so ....i hope my dad loved the treat/gift that we gave him....and here's a nice family photo...

who cares if the parents aren't really smiling? we three look nice...that's all that matters! wahahhahaahah

my very humourous father...

one day my dad proudly walks towards the door in the afternoon and faces the bright sun for 5 seconds..then turns around and exclaims

dad: look! the lens of my new specs changes colour!
me: wow...you got the light polarizing lenses??
dad: no...mine's cooler than that! it changes according to my mood! when i'm envious it changes to green..and when i'm angry it changes to red and so on...am i hip??!!
me: ......................................................-_-"

and that is the story of the day...my very hip dad..... and if you ever read this..which i highly doubt..but anyway.....it's 2nd march already dad...which means it's pay day..and i'm waiting for my allowance...HAHA!

oh yea...congrats ff for the brilliant results! you did well!

the world of computer games...

the world of computer games...is ...so. not. for. me. maybe daytona, time crisis (TWO), those kok games in the arcade...but not stuff like counter strike, DotA or whatever else...

tried my hands on an hour's worth of counter strike and DotA just now...the only thing i can say is "omgwtf..how do you play?!?!!" yes i know...i am w-o-l-s...those are how outdated...but watever.

to kill time b4 pinkpanther just now...i spent $2.50 on an hour's worth of gaming at cine with the nutsos...and i spent part of the time screaming, another part figuring out how to walk, another part figuring out how to change the blardee gun and reloading it...and most of the time dying. yes i know..i am a brilliant counter strike player..thank you.

then there was DotA..the 10 mins spent playing it was a total waste of time. first i stared at the screen and wondered to myself..what the hell is this game about??? then..the king of computers explained the whole aim of the game to me...to which i replied ..HUH?! ok never mind..the game started. i started clicking everywhere profusely, and before i know it...i am dead. hooray.

so you see...computer games are so not for me...ok maybe i will try counterstrike again...but no way am i playing DotA...

when you have FAMOUS AMOS COOKIES that are straight from the bakery in you cookie jar...everything else is not considered a cookie...=)

have you ever felt so empty, like as though something is missing in your life, and you turn to eating to "fill" up that emptiness?
have you ever felt so sick of everything, u feel like running to the toilet and sticking your finger down your throat to puke and make yourself better?
have you ever trusted someone so much, but yet find out that you have been lied to?
crying relieves one of the negative feelings, but have you ever cried till your tears run dry and you don't feel anything anymore?
have you ever tried talking to someone who hears but does not listen?
have you ever heard someone very close say to someone else who is not as close to him/her as compared to yourself "i will always be there for you if you need me", but yet doesn't even stick around when you need him/her?
have you ever given your all but received nothing in return?

psych has been a subject that i have been wanting to take since eternity, and this sem, i am taking it. and omg, what a bore it is. we have to take part in tons of research projects in order to gain RP credits, so that we don't have to write this other report. at the start of this week, i had ZERO RPs, but now i have more than enough to fill up all the credits that i need. ok..that is not the story of this entry...the story is this...

i have since taken two RPs, and this is kinda weird, but i enjoy taking part in them. i find them somehow interesting, and one way or another, i seem to be thinking about some stuff about myself, that i have never thought about before. these thoughts were evoked by the questions that were asked in the RPs...which were mostly about emotions, characters and cardiovascular responses.

i went for this very interesting RP today, which required me to relax in a room with the sound of birds chirping and water flowing for 10 mins, while my BP was constantly taken to see what is like when i am in the state of rest. after which, i was given 5 mins to write down a recent incident which angered me, and that was followed by another 5 mins of verbal interview where i had to repeat what i wrote down on the questionaire. and throughout all this while, my BP was taken.

well...i have been feeling really really really super duper down since monday, and i cannot explain why. maybe it is pms, but i doubt so, since i hardly experience that. but i guess it is this thing that's been nagging at me at the back of my mind...and i cannot say it out at all to anyone who ask me. but just now during the 30 min experiment, i poured out my troubles to a complete stranger. the experimenter was sitting in a seperate room, and i had my back towards him, and we communicated through the PA system. he asked me questions to prompt me to talk further, while my BP was taken to see what my heart's reaction was...and all through that time, instead of increasing...my BP remained the same (did i wreck his thesis?? haha)...i wonder is it because i am jaded or is it because i was just too tired. then he asked me what do i think is the solution for what i told him, and it just came out of my mouth, and now i think that is really the answer.and after the RP, for once i felt light-hearted in so many days...

so the story is...it's just weird how i cannot say out all that's bothering me to those who are close to me, yet i did it easily with a stranger, and removed the burden that's been in my heart.

WHY I LOVE HONG KONG...

i've noticed recently that most people who love bkk don't really like hk...and vice versa..and that is true in my case. and some ppl also don't understand why i love hk so much..so today i shall let you have a glimpse of why i love hk so much.....

as the advertisement always say....DISCOVER HONG KONG.....

i love hong kong for...

the food..the beef noodles, porridge,desserts, dim sum...and my new found love...

.....steamboat!nothing beats a good steamboat in winter...

yea..you may think "what's so great about steamboat? we have it in singapore too!"...but when you have these.......

kobe beef (at a relatively cheap price!)....

xiao long bao and char siew bao meant for steamboat...

steamboat is never the same...*droolz*

the cheap and pretty good transportation...

tram rides that cost 2hkd per ride...brings you to almost anywhere in the entire hong kong island...

star ferry...1.70hkd for the lower deck...brings you to the different islands..

people, bizarre fashion and hairstyles....

we concluded that the guy on the left probably stuck his finger in the electric socket before coming out of his house to achieve that effect.

billboards...

the night skyline.....

the branded goods.....

as chan will say..mother *beep* huge LV luggage in the middle of the airport!

catching tvb filming on the streets...

watched zhen qing before? this's tian fu's 2nd wife

the view from my hotel window...

the hong kong jockey club, horse race on saturday night and the highway

and the newly opened disneyland!...it was a leetle disappointing though...very nice..but very small..and very little rides...but anyway..here's how it looks!

you know all those pictures of the disneyland train that you got in your email many years back? they are for real... the trains really look like that!

the entrance to disneyland and the train station that greets you the moment you enter the theme park...

my favourite ride...buzz lightyear (ba-xi-guong) and the other mother *beep* huge etch-a-sketch pad...

the parade...i missed the fireworks display =(..because my mom wanted to go back to hong kong to shop -_-"

my future husbands...buzz lightyear..and indian chief (have i ever mentioned that one of my childhood ambitions was to be a red-indian? retarded..but true...heh)

my donkey of a sister...and travel companions who hijacked the disneyland bus...

madhatters (my mother was very excited when she saw these hats in the shop...and she made me take pics of her with them on!)....

....tea-party

ff and her favourite pooh character...

and this is me..hugging the planet of tomorrowland!! you see..most people will pose in a manner where it seems as though they are carrying the planet on their back...portraying how strong they are (also making the planet their burden)...but i...chose to embrace it and make it my love! hohoho...

ah...hard luck that i never take pics of the malls..the best shopping centre in hk is island beverly shopping centre..next to sogo...it's like far east plaza..except that the things in there are 1000 times cooler!

so anyway.....do you feel like visiting hong kong now??

a day spent in queensway shopping centre and ikea with cootie who bought tons of things...while i..didn't spend a single cent..except for my bowl of laksa and cup of longan honey with sea coconut (which did not contain a single bit of sea coconut @#%!#@!##@$)...heh! proud of myself!

then movie in the night with kunies and peach...and holland v with kunies...bah! to peach and ayy who pang seh-ed us!

casanova is freaking funny...to me ...but not to kunies..and i don't understand why no one laughed at the sexual puns while peach and i were laughing like mad..do we have a lousy sense of humour..or did no one get it? i hope its the latter...

anyway found this in my mailbox...some fotos of menus from china restaurant's tt my sis sent me...just look at how terrible the translation is...




and this...was a photo i took when i went to china three years ago...i thought to myself...wtf?! and then i couldn't stop laughing at it after that....absolute direct translation!

and we thought we were havoc...

when we t3 girls sit down together..we like to talk about all the crazy things our class used to do...soccer in class, jeff hanging his stinko pe shirt on the broom and hanging it out of the window (machiam hdb block), the guys playing soccer during lesson time and dumping their soccer boots in the class cupboard and stinking it up! zhao-ing sch, meems and kuns zhao-ing gp for the man-u vs. singapore match and then almost getting caught by serene koh...eating chicken wings in class, playing netball every break...playing pranks on each other..running away from brother paul, michael tan and jean yow, playing old maid and getting caught by gopal who confiscated our old maid cards (how ironic?!)...hil climbing the school gate..stuffing alvin saw's jacket into meem's bag...hiding alvin saw's shoes...hiding peach's bag in the fire hose..taking photos in the guys' toilet...table-tennis matches (jin jinling vs. char siew bao!)...and of course the water and broom fight during maths period in first 3 mths....just makes you miss all the fun times we had in cjc doesn't it??

and of course..our school has been known for it's slacker culture..where all we do is slack and play and not study...haha...well...viv just sent me this url with a video of the crazy things that the current cjc kids do...watch it...and you were realise how mild the insane things we used to do were...

check these out....i wonder how they managed to do it without getting caught!

• remember the horrible time adrian ho made us climb that blardee wall in the obstacle course? how about climing---> this
• you think playing soccer in class and dirtying the new walls is bad? look at what they do in class...
• does this remind you of someone? heeehee
• ok this stunt is the all time winner already!!

check out the sakae sushi videos too...sure brings back the times we used to spend hours in sakae!

A trip to ikea with hil and viv led to the purchase of this nice looking thing below...also known as a cookie jar. each time i walk through the food containers section i would gaze longingly at the whole shelf of cookie jars but yet refuse to dig that miserable $3.50 out of my wallet to buy one...simply because..i am not a cookie lover. but i couldn't resist it yesterday...and so i got one..and now it sits on my table half filled with cookies...and i'm pleased with my little purchase.ok..cheap thrill.

chip ahoy and chicken little assorted nuts cookies...

and then there is my all time favourite candy..jelly belly jelly beans - the original gourmet jelly bean. all from aussie land. hah..look at the neat container i got myself, so that i can carry some around with me in my bag...

fruit bowl flavoured jelly belly jelly beans!

peach, yj and i stayed back after school today and had sushi for dinner, whilst waiting for hil's cheerleading performance to start...the sushi was ok..and the cheerleading performance was awesome. KR's cheerleading team's brilliant..and TH's not too bad....i know i'm being biased..but what the heck...i am still saying it...you all could have done better if not for the swine. ha! not happy with what i said?too bad.

to hilly my rp...i just want to let you know that i'm really proud of your performance! although joining the cheerleading team just goes to prove how much of a bimbo you are (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA)..i must really say that you did darn well just now..standing on top of all those people and falling back with ease..even though you fell once and blardee broke you head..i was i.m.p.r.e.s.s.e.d!

and hil, peach and i had a blardee good laugh at the swine. what happened what just absolutely loserish...yes i'm mean and u can say i am bitchy...i don't care.

oh yes...my ff of sister is a tutor now...i know everyone else teaches tuition...but i still want to say that i am very proud of her for taking up that challenge..because i for sure will never go anywhere near teaching!

you can love me for who i am...or just blardee don't talk to me.
