QUINDOM
Sorry dear journal,
It was fun recording my life down and posting up silly pictures.
But I no longer see the need to do so anymore.
Because as of today, I'm going to live a better life.
One with a goal in mind.
Maybe someday soon, I'll return to the blogsphere.
For now, I'm going all out to reach my goal.
Wish me luck!
Twenty years, and it's time to grow up.

| Botanic Gardens |
[25 Jun 2008|01:46pm] |
So it was off to Botanic Gardens with the kids!
Did I mention how much I love kids? :) Their smiles are better than sunshine pills! (whatever that is)
And they can be rather enlightening too!
This tree can be found at the Botanic Gardens. Does it look familiar?
It's the $5 tree! The tree that was depicted on S$5 note! So amazing! I never knew that! Haha.
We had a treasure hunt around Botanic Gardens.
The kids in my group were so enthusiastic about it! I admit, I wasn't really into the hunt cos the blistering sun was getting on my nerves. But it was fun :)
 
And after that, stupidfatpigcrazymaddog asked me out on a date to Island Creamery! :P
 
A perfect way to end a hot day at a garden!
Haha. As you can see from the pics, she really loves me! :))
We hopped onto Bus151 back to hall and we had a pleasant surprise!
Nokia changed the whole bus's interior into this!
It's super cool and super funky! It was some advertisement gimmick for Downloadable Nokia Tunes.
Okay, maybe it's been there for quite some time already. But I think it's a super innovative advertising strategy! I should learn!
So yuppie. It ended off our very romantic date to Island Creamery.
25th June!
Happy Birthday Sissy numbo 1!
Happy Birthday Shuangy-Wangy!
For the past few days I've been working on photoshop day and night and day again.
Hopefully I'll be able to settle everything by today!
I think I'll rest first. I'm really tired.
Communication can overcome borders..
If you try hard enough.

| Motivation |
[22 Jun 2008|10:22pm] |
I need to find that motivation again.
The motivation to work and earn more money.
The motivation to run, pounding my feet against the pavement, feeling the wind blow past me, and the wonderful feeling of liberation after a satisfying run.
The motivation to dive into a pool, swim twenty-five laps, and feel like i'm still floating on water after that.
The motivation to eat less and lose weight.
To be determined,
To be motivated,
To be goal-orientated.
I guess that part of me is missing now.
Cos all I think of is food and sleep these days.
Darn.

[19 Jun 2008|12:47pm] |
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
-Ecclesiastes
Time reminds us to cherish each moment,
Because it will never come again.

Hello pipin' hot Strawberry and Orange muffins!
Made them today for a few special people!
Can't wait to give it to them :)
Feels good to be home!

| 14-hours sleep |
[17 Jun 2008|08:40am] |
It's been so long since I've felt awake and refreshed at 8am in the morning!
Than again, I've been sleeping since 6pm yesterday. Didn't even wake up for dinner. Tummy feels weird now. Haha.
Anyhuus, had a 4-days camp in hall and it was fun! I'm missing my daroubaos now! Will update more when piccas come in!
Updates on the last week..
P6 outing @ Dempsey's Hill
Gracie came over and we cooked omelette together! Yumms :)
My new room's layout!
Dinner was at Samy's Curry...
With the people I so so so Love!
Headed to B&J's next...
JW secretly loves me! Haha..
He even tried to propose! Haha. No lah, he was just being an irritating monkey that night. And so I became the center of teasings. Haha. A simple outing with these people can be really fun! :))
8 years of friendship, AND COUNTING!
On wednesday, px, darry and I had dinner at Centrals' Manhattan Fish Market!
Yay! Got discount! That shouldn't be the point right? Haha. It was nice catching up with ex-staff!
Went over to Xin's house to try her home-cooked food! It was good! Kee-lis came too!
Baked a Banana chocolate brownie for dearest Daddy for father's day!
A Mercedes chocolate cake! Haha..
With it's topping!!!
I admit, it doesn't taste that great. But I'm glad that daddy liked it! :)
So yupp, that was my last week!
Now that camp is over, maybe swoc will get busy soon!
For now, I've gotta work in two hours time. And my back aches from too much sleep! Truth is, even being the pig that I am sometimes, I've never slept 14 hours before! But it feels good!
This week's schedule is so clean :( Boss wants me to work everyday! :( boohoos. No life!
On a side note, the guy who tipped me $1.80 upgraded to $2.00! And he said that I have a cheerful disposition and should be on a magazine cover! Haha. That's the first time anyone said that to me lah! :p

| The week has ended. |
[07 Jun 2008|08:37pm] |
Gurlies.
My payday came recently! Though it's only a measly $75. Raawr.
I thought I could take a decent nap just now. Instead I had a series of nightmares which does't make sense but are nonetheless unpleasant. Sigh.
It's funny how people claim to know others' needs and emotions.
Or do we try to impose our wishes and expectations of that person on him/her?
Maybe we try to seek control in the uncontrollable.
For an unpredictable life would be far too complicated and scary for us to handle.
Shall go help dear Lai do some stuff now!
Actually the whole point of this entry was to jot this quote down..
If every moment was another chance,
Would you treasure it?
Or would you let it slip away?

| 1-Night in Batam |
[03 Jun 2008|09:10pm] |
My family and I went to Batam for a day just to check out what that place is like.
Well, we didn't get to do much cause there really isn't much to do there, besides eating, shopping and eating somemore.
Batam resembles Malaysia, with it's wooden-boarded houses, palm trees and motorcycles so cheap they sell it at departmental stores.
Peddlers kept pushing their merchandises into our noses.
But the hotel, though small, is cosy and has that pinch of sincerity and friendliness.
We had a S$30 full body aroma therapy massage, and i mean FULL body massage. That's when I realised, I'm not a fan of masages.
At least it was a getaway, even if it's only for a day.
Ghostly..
Oh yes, I LUV A&W!
 
Keropoks and a long line of chocolate and cheese brownies.
 
Batam's cutural show
Indonesia - a country of countless islands
Some other random happenings..
Munmun is sailing! *sniffs* Don't know when the three of us can have another insane outing.
Food, heels and loves.
You two dumped me here. Come back soon =(
Xin, Shi, Me.
SMWUACKXOXOXOX to Naked Gun!
Was uber hungry after work today so I dragged shimmy back up to my workplace!
Fulfilled my craving for ON-NEE and shimmy had lemongrassjelly with limeicecream!
YummYumms!
Oh, a regular customer paid $10 for his $8.30 bill and told me to keep the change! He asked me if I was new cause he hasn't seen me before and he's really nice! But I didn't keep the money =((
@t3
Looking at the Departure Board makes me wanna point my stubby fingers at the board with my eyes closed and hop onto a plane headed to that destination.
It's boring here. I want to see the world!
That pretty much wraps up what I want to blog about.
Next up will be camps, work and outings I'm really looking forward too!
Before that, I'll show you a rainbow in Batam.
It's been so long since I've seen one.
If I don't remember wrongly, everyone sees a different rainbow. Quite amazing huh.
Just like how everyone has a different outlook of life.
Rainbows are pretty. But it's just an illusion...
我已不晓得幸福什么。
也许我早就失去了信任，失去希望。
我不相信我能得到同样的幸福。
独自一个人走下去，也许是最好吧！

Kepa Jiazu!
Good food in the company of people I adore. (:
Always love!
Shopping and eating with stupidest is always fun! Billy Bomber's Naked Gun is gonna get me Fat!
Met a horrible customer today while working. She purposely made things hard for me lah!
Than she kept saying "See? I told you you still need someone to take care of you."
Like, ?!$%#@, who is she to judge me?! I really hate her.
I might try to add sambal chili in her latte her the next time she comes. RAWR!
Results are out!
I expected to do much worse actually.
Couldn't believe my eyes.. I improved from last sem's super cui results!
Though I've gotta work harder from year 2 onwards.
My hard work paid off! Late nights and endless readings...
Happy :)
Yes! Determined!
I see that ray of hope :)
Every memory has a place in time.
And that's where it'll belong.
Trying to revive it would be causing chaos.
And it wouldn't change a thing either.
When everyting has changed,
There is no point of returning nor salvaging.
If only for one night,
It would be so nice.

| Redang: Sweet Escapade! |
[24 May 2008|08:21pm] |
The Journey Begins...
A bus journey of 9 hours,
Of endless palm trees passing in a blur.
And shadows cast well beyond the dark.
One hour more ferry ride to Paradise.
Hello Heaven-on-Earth!
This little island blew me away with its picturesque beaches,
And waters as clear as glass.
Where the sky meets the sea, and it seems like you'll fall ninety-degrees over the vast horizon.
Beautiful isn't even the word to describe this charming island.
Laguna hosted our stay.
With More More Tea Inn tucked neatly in the corner of the very same beach.
Snorkeling trips
Boat rides were enjoyable, with the scent of salty sea breeze, and wind ruffling our hair.
The clear and refreshing waters housed a vibrant eco-system,
Of vivid-colored fishes darting around,
Of sea urchins and sea cucumbers,
And corals covering the seabed.
Plenty of fun in the Sun
Sun, Sand, Sea.
Feeling the warmth of the sun on our skin,
The soft sand caressing our feet,
The cool waters against our skin.
Sandball fights and ultimate frisbee,
Just a day out on the beach and enjoying each other's company.
When the Night falls
The moon shines a path of light across the sea surface.
Music plays along the beach.
Hammocks swaying with the breeze.
Nights are as incredible as the days.
Food
Buffet for every meal filled our tummies up to the brim.
Happy tummies make happy people.
4 days 3 nights.
Good things never last.
So we said our Good-Byes
It was a good trip.
I was reluctant to leave.
I wanted to stay there forever.
And looking back at the photos, I wished it didn't have to end.
It's nice to escape once in a while.
To live in fantasy for a day or two.
Where worries are reduced to a speck of dust,
And smiles come easily.
It's these little things and pleasure that I treasure,
And I Thank You for it! :)
♥
I think I'm having withdrawal symptoms now. I'm really missing Redang!
I need another getaway! And this time, I'm going Batam! YEAH!
For now, I think I shall just sleep my day away before the next hectic week starts..
And I'm going to find a weekend job!
I feel the urge to fill up my schedule. Don't ask why.
A trust betrayed is a trust lost forever.

05S17 @ Mr. Ling's House!
They are such loves! We played Wii, and it's super super fun! I love it! Haha. It's my first time playing, we always talk about it during NM discussions but I've not tried it out before! I was thoroughly entertained! We played until we were damn high!
Haha. Fun!
Today's dinner was Vivo's Sushi Tei with kee-lis and stupidest! =) So crappy, as ever! And we called up nana too! Can't wait to meet her in june!
So I've moved into a new room in a new block. I like my new layout! And the corridor is filled with life now! But I miss block c. Think I better go sleep now. Gotta work in 7 hours time!!!
REDANG TILL 23MAY!
I can hardly wait! :)

| I miss Gloria Li! |
[18 May 2008|11:47am] |
So 12 people headed down to Changi Airport to send Glo off to Work & Travel in the US. 3 months! That lucky girl. I really hope that she'll enjoy herself there and that people there don't bully her!
I miss her already! ): GLOOO, I miss you!!! Email me!
Popeye's! Something I've been craving for since Feb! Don't ask why. Nini and I had to choing down to the airport before it closed. The sight of it made me so happy I ordered 3 milk biscuits and a regular mashed potato without thinking of how I was gonna finish it later. I was famished cause I haven't had dinner too. I nearly died after I was done with my 'healthy' dinner and any sight of food after that made me pukish. Really. Okay, I'm gonna keep off popeye's for a month.
A pile of metal scraps! It's so cool! Something you'll only get to see in Transformer. Haha. The owner's really nice too.
And yeah! Get a Quinny for your toddler! ;p
Started my first day of work at Rolling Wok and the pace was rather okay. MFM was tougher! And even though GST is waivered there, I'd rather much love to serve them water and bring them their bills. Too used to it le! Yupp, another F&B job. At least I get to do something!
Met up with princess to shop around Central and Chinatown.
Met with Bi to shop around Bugis. And arcade too :)
It's nice to meet up with old friends once in awhile. <3
I can't taste my food! Caught a stupid flu from cleaning and packing.
I'm tired, but I've gotta pack! Arghs.
Nvm. Meeting 05S17 later! :)
I'm feeling numb.

Hello world.
Today has been a really tiring day.
Battering sun and never ending buildings.
And there's only more to come. Sigh.
Well, at least..
I'm employed!
:) It was a spontaneous thing em and I did.
Happy :)
Yes, I'll prioritise and place comm first. Since work hours are quite flexible and all.
After comm hours, I will SQUEEZE out all my remaining time to work!
Work starts on Friday! Hope it goes well!
I'm so happy. I'm gonna meet bi this sat! I miss that girl so much I'll smack her for ignoring me the past few months.
Sunday's with 05S17!
And yeah babes and hunks! Our much anticipated getaway is coming soon!
There's just so many things to look forward to. Except that cookie's going away, than gloglo too. :C
But first up, my holiday room needs to be cleaned and than I'll start emptying C511.
Sentimental, senitmental...
I'm so happy the day has ended already cause my whole body aches!
And my throat feels like it's on fire.
Beauty in walking away.

| Messy C511 |
[12 May 2008|10:58pm] |
It's a miracle how I managed to collect so much junk in just one year.
Probably more than a new garang guni does in his first year.
OMG
This is madness. Stuff strewned everywhere, shelves, cupboard, bed, floor.. And poor momo admist the pile! I don't even dare to turn around to face the mess cause it's gets me all pukey and makes me want to scream because I've no idea where to start!!! This is SO not happening! And I've gotta move everything out by this week! AHHHHHHH!!!!
Towning with crazy em today was fun yet tiring. I realised food gets me more interested and high compared to clothes and shoes. I'm just morphing into a pig. And my throat hurts ):
Gotta wake up early in the following days ): No breakfast either!! I love my breakfasts....
I guess the pile of junk has gotta be cleared sooner or later. So I'll get down to it. Maybe I should start from the right side? Nah.. Left!
I'm so miserable now!

| Marie Digby |
[11 May 2008|01:08am] |
 
And this is what I've been anticipating after the exams..
MARIE DIGBY's concert @ Velvet Underground!
Thanks to nini for getting us the tix! Truth is, I didn't even know about her existence till nini showed me her youtube videos. Not only does she have the looks (of course what, half irish and half japanese!), her voice is great and she can play the guitar and the piano! Yes, when it comes to people who can play piano really well, I get duper envious! And she's really entertaining and easy-going. Downside? She only performed.. 4 songs?! Doors opened at 730 but we waited for about an hour. And she didn't play 'Spell'! Haha. But she's good! So no complaints!
So this is.. US!
 
It was fun, ayes? Though music was.. BAD! BAD! BAD! I was so bored I nearly cried! Who would EVER pay for a Friday night? Oh my gawd, the bouncer refused to let us into Phuture! Sad. So we went back early. :(
And earlier on...
I dated laimun! Or she dated me.. Either ways, she brought me to NAFA where her friend displayed her final year project. Met two Fuhua seniors there too! :) The NAFA student's displays are.. MIND-BLOWING! Like, WOAH! Omg, really really good! Like those you see outside, wait, even much better! They have a central idea and a whole range of products made about it. Their name cards are, ZAI to the max! Advertising, publications, website... I LOVE "The Flower Diary", if sold outside, I think it can easily fetch a hefty price! Even a plain book can be so artistic! You won't believe it till you see it with your own eyes. Creativity there is practically flowing like a leaky tap. I'm thoroughly impressed! Yes, the advertising sector can only get more competitive. Maybe I should take a course at NAFA after graduating? Hmms..
Lai and I had a great date! We ate a lot! Stopping first for pastry, than a spontaneous mango sago at chinatown! And we had Xin Wang Cafe for dinner! French toast, chicken chop and HK milk tea! We were so happy and high eating that we kept on laughin. Ya, crazy people.. =p
One year in NUS FASS and Sheares Hall has come to an end. Talk about fast.. Everyone, well, nearly everyone is moving out of Sheares Hall for the vacation. I've always taken it for granted that I'll see them everyday cos well, we do see each other everyday so much so I'll get sick of seeing them! (HAHAHAHA!) But now, even though I haven't been slapped back into reality, I still believe that I'll see them and that they'll magically appear around hall whenever, wherever. That familiar faces and rowdy nights will still be part and parcel of everyday Sheares life. Reality? No meals during vacation! No more supper in Sheares! No more familiar faces I love to see everyday :(
As I'm typing, my room is starting to fill up with my neighbour's japalang. The inertia to start packing up my room has increased two-fold. Yes, I've NOT packed at all. Been putting it off cause I'm too lazy and I'd rather prefer to snuggle up on my bed and sleep my day away. Sigh. Even shopping with cookie today was tiring for me.
I wanted to say "I'm growing fat, old and ugly", but it'll be leaning towards the narcissist side. Arghs, now I'm starting to blab nonsense. Will stop here with something from NAFA display..
Funny how I don't feel much for you anymore.

[09 May 2008|01:50am] |
YES! The gruelling nights, the caffeine-stained mouth, the dry eyes, words after words after words..
3 full months of play! (yeah, i wished)
=)) I was so happy I could barely contain my "YAYS!". I'm kinda tired from the high. But, YAY!
Hmm, the modules I took this sem iweren't as dreadful compared to the last. I didn't have to literally pull myself to the exam venue and pee in my pants while doing the paper. Mathematical Thinking last sem left me in cold sweat. Animal Behavior was something I looked forward to! And I'm beginning to love my New Media modules! I have a lot of NM modules I want to take! But have to fulfill the University requirements first -_-. So yay! I can throw away my social work and psychology notes!
Okay. Here's stuff that happened during the exam period..
A bird flew into my room! Woke me up with it's fluttering wings. I was so freaked out! I thought it was some big bug. Haha. I went screaming for nini! Luckily matt saved the day and even helped me clean up the mess. Thanks matt!
 
Daddy & Mommy bought Goodwood Park Hotel Durian Puffs! I would say that they're better aprodisiacs than chocolates! Yumms. In heaven! I miss my daddy and mommy! They've been so supportive during this period, bringing food and all. Haha. I know they care =) Gonna go back during the weekends!
Birthday celebrations for stupidfatpigcrazymaddog neighbour and GLOGLO! Glad they were happy!
Went out to watch a movie with Insanes after the exam. We had spicy stingray, prawn mee and popiah! Nothing beats this simple fare! They're gonna dump me during the holidays =(( sad!
This exam period has caused me my beauty sleep and constant headaches. I'm proud of myself for pulling through and I think that I deserve some pampering and a well-deserved break!
Today felt good cause I felt internal peace and happiness. It rained at night, and it was so therapeutic! I felt true happiness and contentment. (:
Can you imagine? 3 whole months of not studying! My brain can rot for all it wants! Haha!
Gonna spend the holidays with....
I think I'll turn in soon.
I CAN'T wait for later on! =)))
It's been a long, long time!
Even so, you don't have to ignore my messages.
If that's the way, than I'll stop trying to be friendly.
And I'll start being a stranger.

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
♥Momo!

Thanks for accompanying me throught the nights,
For being the cutest thing to enter my life.
You brighten up my day,
And you make me super high!
What more can I say,
I LOVE YOU!
:)

[17 Apr 2008|08:13pm] |
Kitkat goodie bag courtesy of Power98!
Attended a talk by 98fm today. Got a goodie bag cause I popped a question! (Just cause I wanted the bag, hees!)
But that's not the point of this blog post.
It got me thinking.
The nation's media industry is really small, to make it big, you have to stand out.
Academically, and non-academically as well.
While strolling back, I realised how much I really want a job in the media industry.
It has been a dream of mine, a dream I want to pursue.
It's not so much for the glamour, but for the experience and exposure.
I know where I'm headed to now.
And it has gotten me all motivated. I'm excited :)
I do hope this drive will last!
Meanwhile, it's offically HIATUS! No more blogging till after finals!
PASSION - How much do you Want it?
