celebrating love, joy and peace
merry christmas!!just came back from a movie with keong - a night at the museum. was quite hesitant cos initially we wanted to watch the holidays. but my cuzy, ric and her gf discouraged us, they say the show was boring. so we went to watch a night with the museum instead. i thought the show was great, i would rate it 9.5/10. damn funny. havent watched such a great comedy movie in a long time. its a must watch!i only got to sleep at 6+am last night. was woken up by the consistent noise that my cuzy, eml was making from packing the room at 12+pm. unwillingly, i woke up. helped a lil here and there with the preparations for christmas eve celebration. had lotsa and lotsa food. forgot to take pictures though. =Xthis is the first time im staying home on a christmas eve. i enjoyed myself. not too bad an experience. at least i dont have to squeeze with others and get sprayed by random people on the streets.enjoy your holidays!!!

xmas eve
taking a break from writing christmas cards. im sleepy but i just dont feel like sleeping. i wonder why. it has been 2 weeks, everyday, 4 to 5 hours of sleep. finally, my body couldnt take it. i was having a terrible headache this evening. the sun must have contributed to the headache.
i met keong at 1.30pm at taka. we were supposed to go for lunch at the imperial treasure with his family to celebrate his mum's birthday. but his mum had something on so keong suggested we still go ahead.
after lunch, we went to marina square to look for jelly beans. allen's jelly beans are out of stock!! argh! but i was lucky enough to get starburst's jelly beans. right after, we headed home cos keong had to report for duty.
it looks damn pretty from far
i dont know how am i going to get up tomorrow morning to go marketing with my aunt and help her with the preparations for xmas eve celebration. we are expecting like 20+ guests. not that i care cos im going out!!! okie.. that sounded mean. im so not feeling the christmas mood.but anyway, my plans for the christmas are:xmas eve - meeting reys for a drinkxmas - meeting the gang for dinner loves

my friday
i left the office at 6.30pm. 20 mins before my lesson starts. the road was packed with moving vehicles as usual and i had a hard time crossing. by the time i was at the bus stop (just opp the road), it was 6.39pm. i decided to take whatever that comes first; cab or bus.
i got there at around 7.10pm. luckily, they were still having the briefing. after 2 rounds of the test route, i knew i made a couple of mistakes and i'll probably fail. but i wasnt prepared. i havent felt disheartened since prac 3. i cant believe i have to take a third attempt for prac 7. *sobs*
on a happier note, my xmas pressies have arrived in singapore. in fact, my stuff for the 2 sprees i joined have arrived. im going to the post office to collect my registered article tmr. yay! keong will also be collecting the other spree's stuff for me at bukit batok tmr.
to date, i have purchased like 5 tops, 3 dresses, 2 bottoms and lots of accessories online (for xmas). its addictive and its making me broke. its so convenient but i have temporarily stopped buying things online. anyway, more than half the time, the items doesnt turn out to be as expected. but i enjoy the process.

feelings and emotions
i wonder.. .. ..if we were to put feelings and emotions under 2 categories - negative and positive. so for example:+ happy+ love+ passionate+ understanding+ forgiveness- sad- angry- disappointed- guilty- feardoes it mean its technically right to be happy, to love and to forgive?must we always forgive people for the harm (might be permanent) that they have caused us although its intentional and its obvious that he/she is hopeless and wouldnt change his/her ways?on the other hand, is it technically wrong to be angry, sad or disappointed?is it wrong to be angry with someone who pushes your limit way too far?to some, anger might be seen as the disability to control one's emotions. people who gets angry easily is looked upon as petty and people who rarely gets angry is looked upon as nice. but who really look at the whole picture before jumping to a conclusion?why do people judge when they dont have the right to?the line between black and white gets blurer by the day. things are no longer simple like we were kids.

gifts exchange
i met up with keong, grace, choons and mei. we had teppanyaki for dinner. then, we went shopping at ck tangs, surprisingly still open at 9.30pm. what followed was hilarious..i wanted to get a braun buffel wallet for keong (xmas pressie) so grace to told the guys to shop themselves cos we wanted to get girl's stuff. then we went up to lvl 3, manged to make a decision like within 5 mins with grace's and mei's help. (got to hurry cos i was afraid they might come up) then, i called keong to let them know we were done and we'll meet at the perfume section. he said "dont come down yet. er.. we are not there." too bad! grace and mei was already halfway down the escalator. an idiot can also guess whats going on. we spotted them from the escalator but didnt walked over immediately.i spotted shu umera from the place we were standing (tot of getting lash curler for grace cos hers is spoilt) while waiting for the guys so i told grace and mei i'll be in front. while walking over, i past by mac and bought the lash curler from them instead. damn gan qiong la! after the purchase (with everything in my bag), i called grace. they were with the guys. when i walked over, everyone were laughing in an arkward manner. i was lost but i knew they were up to something. keong said "one by one." he brought me to the dkny counter to try the red apple.keong: "nice?"me: "okie lo" (intentionally) many voices: "say nice." keong (something like that, cant rmb e exact words): "got free gift."
the sales lady behind the counter passed me a paper bag while saying "this is a free gift for you, merry christmas." yea right. free gift.. i asked him while following behind choons and grace "christmas present?" he replied yar and i passed him the box containing the wallet. looking surprised, he said "what?" and he told grace "she damn cool la, she passed the box to me like that (re-enact). i didnt even know what is it."we came to the ck counter. similarly, grace was asked to try the ck euphoria.choons: "nice?" grace: " yar. very nice"
keong: "never ask for free gift?"
grace (chuckling): "got free gift?"
the sales lady passed her a paper bag. lastly, while walking away from the counter, i passed her the lash curler. damn hilarious la. 5 person standing nowhere laughing non-stop. unusual gift exchange experience. haha

thursday
i was so caught up with work, i left the office at 8+pm. couldnt join grace and the peeps for dinner. :(
friday
keong and i met up with grace, lyd, choons, mei, dan and nic at MOS. partying till 3am. shiok!
saturday
i went for my first attempt of lesson 7. didnt do well. *sobs* i was looking forward to passing the first attempt though i know the chances are slim. what to do? im a slow learner.
2 more practicals..
after my lesson, keong came to pick me up. took a shower and had brunch - ham, cheese and egg sandwich - before going for our haircut. since we were at far east, we went to drop by the streetwear shop my bro is working at. keong bought 2 tees for only 45.
next, we went to vivo. i thought the candy empire would have more choices and stock, considering the shop space. but everyone is buying like its almost free. must be the christmas season. i was so disappointed i didnt get my jelly beans. did manage to get the chocolates though. spent much more than i expected. dinner was at Shin Kushiya - a japanese charcoal grilled restaurant. they have a wide variety of choices, great service and some of the dishes are really nice. i like the asparagus wrapped with pork, black pepper chicken and esp. mushroom with minced chicken. yums!!
before we end our day of shopping, we went to mini toons. bought a couple more stuff.
sunday
after church with keong, choons, grace and her mum. we had lunch at her place before meeting lyd at TM.
later, keong and i went to john lil to get my make up stuff. 15% for non-members, 20% if you sign up their valueplus card (very simple application) and 20 + 5% for john lil/robinsons credit card. we were about to leave when we realised it was raining heavily. sat down at starbucks to wait for the rain to get lighter and for that, we spent 16 bucks. =(
we went to taka and bought a small xmas tree for my aunt. following, we went to lucky plaza to get his eau de toilette.
grace, choons and lyd was already waiting for us at wisma when we got there. we had the hokkien mee at wisma food court. after recharging, it was time for more shopping. we went to isetan where they were having mng sales up to 70%. i bought 3 spag tops.
we sent keong off to the taxi-stand before taking the train home.
a great weekend spent with great company!
*grace: thanks for the lovely bag thats "so me". love it! *huggies*
*lyd: love you!
*bert: thanks for the care and concern. =)
*keong: thanks for everything!

an undeserving living being
i think im here, on earth to allow people to show their attitude at me. why cant they talk politely? do i really deserve that? and after talking in the you-deserve-it kinda tone, i am thanked for spoiling the day. how fantastic? i must be very free to deliberately find fault in people.

bad evening
i rushed to get off work, walked briskly to the bus stop. the traffic is so heavy i took 5-10 mins to cross the road. during which, i saw my bus stopped in front of me and drove off. just when i was just thinking about how unlucky i am, the next bus came. on the bus, i calculated that i would most prob arrive at 6.50pm, right on time. but the blur me got down one bus stop earlier and had to run to CDC.since we are repeatees (4 of us), the instructor didnt go into details. he merely went through some of the things before we moved off. i was the first bike after the instructor. i made a couple of mistakes:- incorrect positioning- forget to cancel signal ( i think not noted )- wrong signal ( i think not noted )but the most major one was, i didnt move off when the green arrow came off bcos i thought the arrow will only blink 3 times (enough time for only 2 bikes to move off; i was the third). i stop at the stop line and paused for 2 seconds before the instructor came to my side and asked "green arrow, you dont want to go ar?" i thought to myself "I'll fail."surprisingly, i passed. but i wasnt happy for long.right after, i took a cab and met reys at the airport. mr kee and i waited for her to settle her stuff before we went for a quick bite at popeye.2 more practicals before i can take TP. estimated in jan.

"MY" weekend
im so loving fridays cos i no longer have to work on weekends. i can have time for myself, and also my friends. i can do whatever i pleased. =)saturdayspent the earlier part of the day doing housework. then, keong and i went to tampines ikea. huge place, but not as organised as compared to the one in alexandra cos of the huge space. the showrooms and products are pretty much the same. the one thing that amazed me the most had to be the market place; its really big but not sufficient for the crowd that day. therefore, we decided to have their famous $1 hot dog + soft drink.later, we went to meet up with e gang at bugis. choons, mei and lyd was already there when we arrived. waited for wen feng before we walked to blue jaz. the food there was great and the best thing is.. the price is reasonable. hung around and chill out till 11+ before we left.sundayi woke up at 9.30am. keong came to pick me up for breakfast before going to the doctor. we had macs breakfast. yums!! loving it.after visiting the doctor, we picked up my mummy to go to the supermarket. bought some snacks then shopped around for awhile before going home. had chicken curry at melville park for lunch. have been saying it for weeks, finally we had it today.we had the intention to go swimming and tanning but were way too tired to do so, with the pathetic 4 - 5 hours of sleep.

boring
i just realised how dependent i am on internet. i practically cant live without it, it has become a necessity unknowingly.
dec hasnt seem like too good a month for me. the only 3 things im looking forward to; grace's homecoming, christmas and my lessons. it keeps me going. i went for my first practical on road - night riding a few days ago. it was horrendous. although i have drove on the road before but its different. when you drive, you take 1 lane. when you ride, the arrow heads determine how many bikes in one lane.
we were separated into 2 groups; first timers and the rest. there were only 2 first-timers. obviously one of which is me. the instructor explained in details the things to look out for, answered our queries. 2 instructors were guiding the 2 of us. i got onto the bike and followed the instructor in front. before we even went out the gate, i made 2 mistakes. -_- throughout, i was practically following blindly, didnt notice the traffic lights and was unfamiliar with the positioning at road junctions. but i must say i had fun. 3 more pracs to TP!!!

my first day of work
my first day didnt turn out fine..
i miss the bus by a few seconds and had to take a cab to work. the environment here is so different. its much quieter than IMG. im still in the adapting process.
last friday, i met up with sarah at serangoon gardens. following, i headed home. had a bad day and i just want to be at home. spent my day watching summer beach.
saturday afternoon, i met keong. we went to tampines to get my bro's hp. after queueing for 45mins, a man, supposing the manager or something, came to ask our purpose of queueing. i told him i wanted to upgrade my line and the phone i want is N73. nonchalantly, he told me its out of stock. thanks man! yes. like anyone can see the A4 standee on the information counter. i mean they should have placed an easle near the entrance of the shop so its VISIBLE!
keong and i left the queue and went to DTF for lunch. then, we took a cab to bishan, where i met up with pei fen. after we got suvin's pressie, we took a cab to her place. we got there at 9pm, right on time for the cake ceremony.
throughout the 1 hour and so, i was rooted to the chair near the door. reason being her dog was running around the house excitedly. it was nice to see so many ex-classmates and schoolmates though. =)
sunday morning, i dragged myself out of bed. eml brought alaric and i for facial at vanilla. at the end of it, i bought 200+ worth of products and signed a package at a monthly installment of 100+. feeling sinful..we met up with keong. after lunch, keong and i wanted to go IKEA but we heard the place was really crowded and the roads were congested so we decided to postpone till next week. we spent the rest of the day surfing the net, chatting at the top floor of the clubhouse, where it overlooks the swimming pool.
