Travelling to Ming's house seemed like travelling overseas. Yes you can guess it. From Tampines alll the way to Choa Chu Kang. Christina, I know how you feel. *sian look*

Anyways, despite the loooonnnnnnnngggggggggggg journey, I (and yiwei) still had fun bumming around at her house..haha. Melf and Fugue (her cats) were absolutely adorable...awwwwwww. Had a nose rub with Fugue and a butt on the head by Melf...*goes awwwwwwww again* Attempted Mario on PS2, suck at it. Haha...it was basically a major nua-ing session doing almost nothing but play with her cats, paint Ming's nails, PS2 and cooking..but shiok nevertheless.

Pictures taken at Ming's place


The 3 of us.


Before the actual nose-rub with Fugue.


Melf!


Painting Ming's nails.

Rushed down to meet G3 at Suntec's Kenny Rogers...and I was late. Sorry dears. Tried my best. *sheepish grin*

The pictures probably say something. But my camera hasn't got the best resolution. Make do with it. And my grandpa's back from Shanghai. His phone calls start coming in as early as 8am, ringing every 15 minutes interval or whatever...ARGH. Major bumming session starts today. I'm probably grounded for New Year's Eve. Oh well. Mothers.


Eating at Kenny Rogers.


Super lousy lighting at the Koi Garden.


Christina...christina!!! Oh behave!

I'm tired. Will be another boring day. Maybe I shall go back to bed.

The new year's coming. And my life's not changing (at all). My mum is still keeping a very tight rein on me, and recently she has gotten worse after hearing all her friends and colleagues complain about how wild their daughters are getting. *sigh* Don't know how to put across the message to her that the tighter you hold on to your child, the worse the hurt gets when she decides to break free. Because she's my mum, I haven't yet lost the respect for her, the woman who brought me up single-handedly for almost 9 years. *sigh* Argh.

I shall not continue hanging my dirty linen in public. My mum's actually nice enough to me compared to other mums out there. She cooked delicious! fried rice tonight, mouth-watering. Mmmm~ Darn. I feel so darn bad everytime she spends 3 hours cooking up a nice dinner for me and I'm still..throwing a tantrum.

Dental appointment again. Considering putting on braces, but dentist told me to put off till end of next year when my last wisdom tooth pops out. *wry grin* Whoever attempts to kiss me shall taste metal. *evil*

New Year's coming. 2004's resolutions?
1. Earn as much money as I can. (partly to recoup the amount I extracted these two years)
2. Tell my mum she needs to let go. (though I doubt that will happen)
3. Prepare for ATCL.
4. Marry an ang moh good-looking. *grin*
5. Slim down somemore.
6. Enter STBC.

There. And I obviously still haven't lost my fetish for the deep eyes, thick well grown eyebrows, the sharp nose and lips..ooh kissable lips of non-Asian guys. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Finally, I got to watch "Lord of the Rings". At longggg last. Anticipation beforehand was well, how do I put it? Thoroughly savoured. Apart from the ever so charming Legolas who counts how many he kills each battle, Frodo's smile at the end of the show...ahhh! Soo charismatic! Anyway. Battle scene gets better each time, especially the cumulative effect of armed troops. What was really intriguing was the way the movie was made - after an insight into The Making of The Lord of the Rings on CNA not long ago. Castles were merely models small enough to fit onto a table, landscape constructed through computer effects, sound effects, and of course, the make up. And Legolas...ooh. Then again, Aragon is worth swooning over as well. ahhhhh Alright, I shall stop.

Audience was good. No girls blatantly going "oh my god!" when Legolas steps into the scene, no talking/whispering among themselves; everybody was like intently watching the screen. Except for an exceptional irritating handphone ringing for quite some time.

But its sad to know that there will not be another sequel to look forward to in future. The amount of effort put into a total of about 10 hours worth of viewing pleasure will be left only in the memories of those who watched it, those who made it. Lord of the Rings will probably be another of those movies that will be marked in pages of history...for future appreciation. *sad* (No more Legolas. But that's another topic itself *grin*)

Terra Cafe freaking opens at 12.15pm and we were too early for lunch! Darrrrrrrrrrrrrrn. Sorry Daryl, looks like you couldn't taste that steak that was so highly recommended by me. Next time next time. *mumbles* In the end, settled for Swensens, *still thinking of Terra Cafe*ate salmon and mushroom baked rice. Mmmmm. Not too bad lah :P

Good thing I brought my nice huge bulky sweater, Plaza Singapura was so cold...nearly had a leg cramp sitting in the cinema for 3 and 1/2 hours..urgh. But it was definitely worth my Saturday. Discovered that its faster taking bus 518 home from PS, and not having to squeeze with the crowd in the MRT is simply lovelyyyy. And the weather's getting better these days, not as much rain anymore!

I've killed a total of 27 ants in my room.

Tuesday. Met up with Trin, Crystal and Amanda, at Amanda's house of course. Her shepherd's pie...fabulous. I ate...alot. *grins* Crystal brought the album of the days spent in the first 3 months...brings back memories, we were practically howling with laughter over those stupid shots taken. Oh, and took a few shots that night too...pictures are here.

Wednesday. Uggh. Remind me never to go town on festive season. I hate the crowdsssssss. Rotted at Orchard with HY after "interview", never was town so empty (because we were there at like...10am!?) and shops were closed...walked up and down...finally rotted at Popular until mum called me to meet her at Noveena. Silly me took the train from the wrong direction again, before realising my mistake at Dhobby Ghaut. *sigh* Met up with two primary school mates (after such a long time)...it simply amazes me how friendships date back allll the way to when we were 9 yrs old.

And, Merry Christmas everyone. Have a fun-filled, blessed Xmas this season and spread the joy around. And the "Happy New Year" will of course, come later. Which reminds me! I've got to visit the zoo before I'm charged the adult rate in 2004! *yells*

I've got new earrings! Or rather, they are called earlines. *grin*

Met up with Ming, Yiwei and Trina today...its great to meet up with old friends again. :) Spent the afternoon laughing over dumb jokes we never fail to crack whenever we meet up...shopping (but as usual, nothing much), bought a simple red V-neck tee from Zara...I still can't find nice slippers! *grumbles*

Folding endless piles of clothes. bleargh. I am so thankful for those friends who took the trouble to call me at home for a chat, otherwise I'd never have called them... *guilty look* Started wondering if I'm too busy to keep in touch, or do I just take those around me for granted? Maybe a mixture of both...which I suppose I'll have to change real soon, before I lose those dear around me. :) It takes alot to keep a friendship going, especially without school and all where you can see your friends everyday.

Its Monday. And town is disgustingly crowded. (I dunno why) Minor signs of claustrophobia are beginning to kick in. Eeeeeeeeeeeee. *shudders*

Asian Chick Invasion. *thinks Lucy Liu and her eyes and her (oh my goodness so nice!) freckles*

Why do I have such a liking towards this kinda oriental look instead of typical beautiful big eyed (aww so cute) Asian look? Tell me why.

It rained on me when I finally got down to cycling today. I hate you, Mr Rain. *growls*

People often say doing things alone, going out alone once in a while is a very peaceful thing to do. I certainly do not think so. Cycling alone today made me feel even lonelier, it simply emphasizes the fact that I am an only child, with no siblings to share my interests such that my reliance on friends grows stronger. To cut it short - I am extremely dependent on others to frame my life.

Sat for a while at the beach watching windsurfers struggle against the (pathetic) wind, then I realised that in this sport, you are all alone in the open sea - nobody to accompany you. Watched this guy struggle to move, only to end up in the water himself as he lost his balance again and again. It gets terribly defeating over some time; I saw another girl further out in the sea, sitting on the board looking as though she's resigned to her fate of not being able to get back to the shore. Then again, she might be enjoying herself.

Uncle William got me a cardigan for Chrismas. *grins* Wondering whether I will still need a jacket after all. Ah who cares. When I find a nice jacket I'll still buy it. The evil of shopping. *tsk tsk*

I have this sudden urge to play with Play-Doh. No matter how gross the "dough" can be, they are still nice! Shaped into fries, beef patties, food, dunno what else...but the cleanups were pretty disgusting, having to scrape everything off. Uggh.

Why do you keep making ice coffee these days?

Because you haven't gave me my allowance for the past 2 weeks, I'm broke now mum, no money to afford Starbucks coffee, I'll have to resort to home-made chilled coffee instead.

*grin* Did I get my allowance? Negotiated pay. I'm still poorer than I ought to be.

I hate the weather. It doesn't permit me to go out and cycle, spoils my plans for sun-tanning, delays my Sentosa trip. Morever, each time I feel like running, it has to rain. Such lousy weather. Thanks to the absence of Mr Sun, I've gotten yellow, a disgusting yellow colour for my liking.

I feel excluded from the world these days. I guess, what Mr Tony Tan had said about hanging on to JC friends is truly right? The office environment can sometimes be too cold if one's colleagues are mean. There's not much of bonding among colleagues, just small talk and jokes among a small group of people, for example, those working beside you. University sounds like fun too, but many of my seniors and friends however still stick to their old groups of friends - secondary school and JC basically. Hmm. Maybe its a different scenario for different people, but come to think of it, the future is pretty scary when you think of this. Ah, I dunno..don't want to think about this.

Christmas wishes?
1. Get a job in relief teaching. (I do hope there's vacancy and MOE lets me have it)
2. Slim down.
3. Improve tremendously in my bowling.
4. A new phone.
5. Whatever material wants I have currently.

So much for these wishes. I wish they will come true!

Just returned from bowling training at Hougang Superbowl. Thank God for my friend, otherwise I'd never have found the place. The Northeast is a maze itself. Because all their MRT stations are located underground, I had trouble finding Senkang MRT station and transferring to Kovan - not to mention that Sengkang has both LRT and MRT so I had to be careful not to head to the wrong place.

Stupid me boarded the first train I saw at Sengkang and it took me to Punggol instead of the other way round. So stupid me had to get out of the train and head back in the opposite direction. When I reached Kovan, there were 3 exits, and I was supposed to meet my friend at some 7-Eleven : went up 2 wrong exits before finding the 7-Eleven.

Finally! Hougang Superbowl. Took some time getting used to my ball again...at least I don't have to play with a wrist guard now! Yipppeee! It feels good to be bowling again. Definitely. Although I'm feeling tired now..

Heard of this Japanese buffet going for $30 at Suntec. I am going to eat there as soon as I get my pay.

Things are finally getting along for me here. (i think, i hope)

Got a temporary job, having to key in data - working in my auntie's office, Starcruise. Tortorous job, people are paid by the hour, I am paid by the amount of work I complete. Brief overview of the job: its basically keying in data for a lucky draw, where people send in contest forms with their particulars to (hopefully) get free tickets to a cruise. Have to key in 5000 of these entries, with name, add, postal code, tel no, and email address. I have somehow convinced myself by the end of day 1 that an office job is not for me. Freaking sick of constant typing without any rest in between for fear of not finishing, sick of facing the computer screen for 9 straight hours with 45 min lunch break. And sitting down immediately after a full lunch simply makes me fat. My tummy's growing. Gosh. That line made me sound pregnant. *faints*

Done with the complaints, though it didn't help much because I dread going to work on Monday. Got another job at Cristofori Music School for the whole of 2004... :) Starting training again...coach complained that I lost too much muscle mass... *big fat sigh*

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. bleah.

Don't know where Joyce gets her stuff. Got these off her page. Thanks Joyce! *thumbs up*

play it safe boy!

look, wherever you please.

*grin*

Cooked pasta with XH today, or rather, he cooked for me while I...washed the damn dishes. Simply delicious! *pats tummy* What a day of bumming, woke up earlier today wanting to jog, only to discover that the weather is so darn cold and there's a slight drizzle - what a turnoff. Discovered how to make half-boiled eggs the easier way! Crack an egg into a decent sized bowl (Chinese rice bowl will do), make sure bowl is wet, cover with wet plate, put into microwave oven - 1 minute at medium high heat. Bingo!

*sleepy*

Its 11:50am. Woke up not long ago, being the sleepy pig I can be after A levels. Sleep late, wake up even later. *groans* People have been asking me, "Xiao Pei ah, what have you been doing man? Enjoying yourself after A levels huh?" Then I will start to wonder...what have I actually done? Let's see.

Since grad night 03 :
Wednesday: Slept at 5am, woke up at 10am. Lunch with HY, Suz. Back to TKGS to apply for relief teaching position. Visited a few teachers and band. Home.
Thursday: Slept till 11.30am. John Little Sale (uggh), interview at Cristofori. Home.
Friday: Looked for Kor's present. Bummed around with him. Home.
Saturday: Grocery shopping with Mum. Kor's bbq cum bdae gathering with his friends. Seems like the most exciting thing so far. Hah.

That sums it all up I suppose. How weird, haven't been out late at all since I was always present for Mum's dinner, and Mum is complaining about how much time I spend outside and never coming home early. What the hell does that mean? Meaning I can't go out at all? *ponders* Meeting a friend later for lunch at Tampines (of all places) and she's still complaining. Probably the reason why I'm still so cranky even after the A's are over. I still have to adhere to an unreasonable curfew by Queen Mother. *rolls eyes* Not that I'm bitching big time about my own mum, its just that I cannot understand why she is different from others. Talk about mums comparing their daughters with their friends' daughters. Like I am comparing my mum to my friends' mums I suppose. *grin*

Had a wonderful time yesterday even though it was a short meet-up with my kor. Yay, you're 21! *grins* Welcome to adulthood. Time to be called a MAN and not "boyyyyyyy ah!!! come here!" His pals are great too, very nice people. Like, what can I say? I was kinda apprehensive at not being able to communicate on the same level with them, but what the heck, all went well. Happy belated birthday kor. Hope you like my sunshine footmat.

Alright. Off for lunch.

After one night of glamour, its back to reality for xp here. Job applications, interviews, and hours of wondering what to do to pass time for the next one month.

I realised make-up can do wonders to any girl. A suit can also create miracles. The evening saw great curves, quiet grace, smart elegant young men and ladies. Well. I was reduced to a vocabulary of only 5 words - "You look absolutely preeettyy tonight!!!". Oh well. The pictures will speak for themselves.

That's besides the point. I am sure everybody will remember TJC grad night 2003. However, I must emphasize that washing up before getting ready to sleep is terrible. Over 1 hour spent removing the pins, washing off the glue, moose, glitter sprayed on one's hair, untangling it, wincing in pain, shampoo, condition, moisturiser...oh my gawd. I shudder to think of it.

And the food, I'm sure many of you all agree, didn't taste that good. Oh well! Its the atmosphere and the many photographs that count I suppose. *grin*


The class guys...for once they look so (ooh) nice!


G4.


Huiyu and me.


Berrrrrnie~


The dinner came at 9.30pm!!! Showing the hungry looks.


A class shot, but not a very sharp image :
Well. That spells it all. I'm off to the John Little Sale.

Gareth Gate's "Too Serious Too Soon" is a song too lovely to be missed...gosh. I must be mad. Home from Geog S, like..yay! My A's are officially over! Watching everyone pack their stuff to be whisked off to hotel rooms, the hust and bustle of grad night. Me? I am going to get my beauty sleep first. Sueann's excitement is starting to rub off me. *grin*

Wonder what everybody's gonna wear tonight, they ought to have this fashion show, its just gonna be a galore of girls parading in so many gown designs, then only one will notice that "what?? there are gowns in Singapore!" Oh yeahhh.

Let's hope, I won't look like a Christmas tree tonight. *grin*

I wonder where you are
I wonder what your thinking of tonight
I wonder
Maybe your alone
Maybe youv'e been crying just like me
I wonder

I don't why I lost your touch
Maybe I wanted to be loved to much

Chorus
Too serious, too soon
I wanted you to love me
I wanted to be there for you like no one else before
Too serious too soon
I wanted you to love me
It's been a rainy afternoon
Now I'm staring at the moon thinking
We got too serious too soon

I told you everyday
I told you everynight in every way
I love you
Maybe you got scared
That maybe i had nothing else to say
But I love you

So baby now my life's a mess
'Cause I couldn't love you any less...


Tomorrow's grad night. And I haven't got my bag. *faints* Tomorrow's Geog S, and I haven't studied anything! Some how I don't feel so confident in Geog S anymore..looking at all my past work, its rather humilating to always score the lowest among all those taking the same subject as me. I do not deny that I know my daily work well, but it seems that I can't apply my knowledge to this particular paper? Ah well. Too late to do anything.

And William..your hair is freaking nice!!! I'm so jealous!!!

Cooked pasta Chinese style yesterday under the watchful eye of Xiaopei's mother...it was a scary cooking class. Mum nagged me for peeling the prawns too slow, nagged me for not preparing the stuff properly, nagged me for not cleaning the chicken properly (but I did!), nagged me for cooking too slowly...oh man. I was on the verge of tears by the time I served the pasta. *sigh* Next time I'll do it without her around, its less stressful.

Somehow I feel quite scared about tomorrow, wonder if there will be anybody wearing the same dress, wonder if things will go horribly wrong, wonder if my dress will decide to die on me. AHHHHH. Will I look like a X'mas tree that night being decked in silver? *groans*

Away, you idle thoughts.

I was wondering how to idle my time away after tomorrow since its my official last paper. (like, yay!)

Further panic. My bag how.?
