All sunburnt!
Sentosa was v fun. but VERY expensive. ugh. and lots ofhot babes :) including kahli :p as many boys at siloso beach could attest to :p hahaha. but quite freaky. you'd know why if you watch the news i guess.. we were there. but we might as well not have been for all that we realised.
anyway. prob the most sun i'll see for a while then :)

ugh. i hate photos :( i always look so bad in them!!! and heh. i guess i better pile on the deodorant thingy cos there're sweat circles under my arms in the photos (which i must say are v disgusting but hardly my fault cos it was REALLY warm.) i don't have photoshop or i'll photoshop it off haha. too bad. anyway. here're the nicer ones... ask me for the others if you really want :)

It's only at social events like this where you realise that even tho you know quite a few very nice people, it's pretty difficult to move the conversation beyond the initial hug, hi and so where're you studying now. sigh. i used to think i was extroverted but i recently found out that the so-called extrovert is one who enjoys small talk. so i guess that rules me out... anyway. i'm leaving on 25th. i'm such a worry wart but ugh.i haven't packed. my mom's been bugging me. i haven't seen everyone i want to before i leave even tho i guess i'm coming back in december so most people (with a few excceptions :)) won't even have the time to miss me. sighhhhhhh. what if i hate london :(:(:(

UGH. Driving test tomorrow. i think i'm going to fail.

Awww this rocks :) i have a new 15" powerbook!!! :)




I'm very happy today :) maybe it's the (very little) alcohol :)
can you tell? :)

Treetop trail yesterday was satisfying i guess :P more for the sake of having walked 10k in 2 hours, and having not succumbed to the fear of heights on that trembly bridge.
the trembly bridge

and its view



and the interminable steps.

Yay. Shopping blitz today.
Treetop trail tomorrow. Assuming we can find the trail that leads to the ttt. 4-5 hour walk apparently. Hee. Shall bring more food.
(Jane sorry i'm not going with you! let's take this as a recon mission for me. if it's any good i'll erm redo the 4-5 hours with you before you leave! if i can stand doing it all over again that is. again assuming i actually can find the trail despite woozy instructions on npb website.)

The first day of my fitness blitz. I'm hoping that blogging it might actually make me more responsible for continuing to work out regularly. because it is obviously the first few days that are the most challenging. sigh. and am humbled at my lack of strength or endurance... ugh. then again, blasting u2 in the gym was very gratifying :) aching limbs, but happy heart :)

And so everyone's geared up for uni life. what am i going to do when everyone leaves! (figuratively and literally) oh right. kahli did say sthg about crashing classes :) so i guess i'll still have stuff to do :) and play fatal frame on xbox which totally freaks me out even though nothing much was happening. bah. i still have 1 month to my driving test, 2 months to london. and all i've been doing is trying to figure out what the fuckendo vernon god little is talking about. sigh. i think i'm just slow cos the blurb had reviews from the Independent and all that and it's supposed to be 'a laugh a minute'. i just thought it was a very tragic story, and not a little bit painful and dumb :)

we've been burning money at the arcade. turns out 1. i'm not a very good racer 2. i'm fairly decent at slamming the controls and winning those king of fighter games (by luck) 3. i can't aim for nuts. i.e. when i shoot i mainly just spray the area and hope to catch s1 unawares.

i have no money. but i really want to meet up with people before they disappear into uni!! my number's still the same :)

i do not understand why there are people who cannot resist running around on their own (in a place obviously not meant for peeking and prying tourists), poking their fingers into everything, and spying around for 'freebies' which one would get in a few hours anyway. sigh.

Engineers are freaking amazing people. Some of them anyway :p

It seems that everyone whom i happen to meet are immensely curious about what kind of life i'm leading now that we're all released from the evil clutches of school temporarily, and they are also equally happy to label it is 'So you're slacking now la'. How convenient. Just because i'm not working, it doesn't mean i'm not doing anything. i know i'm not earning any money but i have my whole life to do that. So there.

Damn. Anyway. since there apparently -are- tech geeks who read this page... please help me resolve this technical issue: my wireless router is losing heat on me :/ it registers only one bar for reception directly from the source! and frequently, i don't even get any bars. (heh. this sounds like a discussion on army ranks. but anyway..) therefore my internet access fails me more often than not :/ let's see. i have restarted the router many times, doesn't help. have connected and reconnected the wires a couple of times, nothing works :( is he overworked and therefore going on strike? please help :/

Oh well. maybe the slacking theory isn't so wrong afterall. but i hate that that's the very first conclusion people come to. Ah. anyway. it's not like i haven't been doing anything! i have been making friends with the Clutch. He's very friendly now :)

Maybe it's my proximity to my sister nowadays. I'm beginning to get a phobia of getting married! Nothing to do with the 'Till death do us part' thing (i'm perfectly fine with that), it's the endless gown fittings, calling up hotels and restaurants, deciding how many people you're going to allow to come for your dinner, neverending negotiations with the in-laws about the number of tables you're going to have at the dinner.. The joy and excitement of a wedding is inevitably drowned out in the administrative details. like EEK. Those and the lack of money, and the worry of making a complete loss when your guests underestimate your costs. sigh.

Anyway. That's a long time away! Now all i have to worry about is my piano and my driving. Both in not so good states... :( the driving is touch and go (or more like touch-and-stall) heeee. my instructor thinks i'm quite slow. which i admittedly am. my car is such a jerk :P But. It's a lovely car la. i mean. it puts up with me throwing the clutch all the time :)

Oh yeah. for people getting married (don't think there're any here) unless you're absolutely certain your designer and seamstress are any good, get an off-the-rack dress please.

So embarrassing.

The closest i've ever been to going clubbing was some camp in secondary school where they dimmed all the lights in the school hall, blasted corny music and we went berserk.

I do believe i never want to spend 6 hours picking out my wedding dress.

Remind me never -ever- to go for so-called formal dinner events. unless the food's guaranteed good, and the entertainment comprehensible. Not that the night was without reward in the form of intriguing questions.
1. Is it just me or are a lot of officers fairly cute :) as in. quite good looking, not -all- of them... but so far heh :) (don't want to sound too desperate so i shall halt this train of thought.
2. There was this girl flashing her cleavage in my general direction. very disturbing. not one of them lookers and not anyone i know. Somehow, the sight of pale wobbly cleavage put me off my food. i was told however, that firm cleavages are a result of plastic surgery and therefore, i might be subconsciously in favour of breast enhancement as being more aesthetic. But, yikes. the constant replaying of the cleavage-in-question is making me woozy.

Bah. a royal waste of my time! had to crawl out of bed for driving this morning too.. sigh. And in case any of you reading this now turns out to be my dorm mate in london, please avoid me like the plague in the morning. Very unsociable, likely to deliver cranky admonitions before breakfast.

Anyway. I need expert advice! i want a good digital camera with good image colour saturation (i.e i want blue stuff to remain blue under most light conditions! and stuff like that. don't like the sony one we've got.) and plus i want a good fast flash (nothing irritating like the sony one. takes like 4 seconds to finish flashing! :P how :/ oh. plus it shouldn't be too expensive. and i'm not particular about how many megapix. just not too few i guess.
[sigh. am fairly certain that very few tech geeks/photo geeks visit my page. so i'll just leave this in as a desperate call for help. :( ]

So embarrassing. Me and the Clutch are mortal enemies.

Bleargh. I'm so lazy I don't even want to go out :( Except when absolutely necessary. Doesn't help that i have no money = un-fun outings :/ If I were rich I probably could contribute to singapore's economy by.. a lot! :) Shopping-wise that is. I'm not very entrepreneurial. Tho of course if i had money i probably wouldn't mind financing people like kahli! you know, the creative/business type who actually want to start up :D

Btw. look out for kahli's webbie! don't know when it's coming out. but very cool. she was wearing a self-decorated top that looked very professionally done :)

hmmmm. since zsing just passed his test, he's going to be away for about 2 more weeks :/ sigh.

Shall try to be upbeat! But very difficult. Cos i lack exercise and apparently only well-exercised people can be happy.

Sigh. It's only been a week and a half! i have more than a month and a half more to go before i'll finally have him back :( ah well. in the mean time i shall keep myself occupied with piano, driving, movies and shopping. work and play :) nice balance.
and once i find the other half of my swimsuit or a nice one on sale, i'll go swimming!

i've built my life around his for 3 months and now he's gone i'm a bit disoriented :/ i hope i haven't neglected any of you! i try v hard not to k! (if i have, register your complaint thru msging or emailing)

oh. suddenly struck by the thought of the idea that bloggers are supposed to have huge influence over their readers and here i'm thinking, no way. 98% of blogs probably languish in obscurity, and in truth, how many singaporeans really do care about politics anyway (what there is to care about probably has more to do with rising fares (boohoo!) and erm. whether we'll have more than one presidential candidate this time around :P)

okok. i hope it doesn't rain.

Well. I finally did watch Madagascar yesterday, but it wasn't as good as i thought it'd be :( In the end, i laughed more for the sake of trying to assuage my loss of 7 dollars than that it was really hilarious. Damn. It was OTT and painful sometimes but it was quite funny in fits and bursts i guess...

anyway. have decided i'm a boring stick in a mud too dull to perceive humour in many situations (SOS being one.) and too lazy to care. haha. except maybe in the most cynical of situations.

The whole world is going to London! And i mean, if in our year alone there're so many singaporeans going over, it's quite amazing that the city isn't already overrun with us. We could have a Singapore-town over there and it'll probably be very popular.

it's like my social life has come to a complete halt.
there're things i want to do
places i want to go
just that i'll have to go find people to go with me
cos no one really seems to enjoy asking me out
so if anyone reads this
and has time to spare and doesn't mind trudging around with poor old me
msg or call me
i'm desperate
sigh.

And so I begin the first day of a loooooooong 2 months. sigh.

And Star Wars wasn't worth that 9.50. (bloody ex i tell you)
And pilates is pretty cool but all those gym rat exhibitionists are quite scary.
