sailors gathering at grace's place yesterday...and once again....
i was bounded by joy and laughter.
love every sailing gathering we have.
the crazy bunch of people...who never fail to bring that laughter to me.


the rain stopped while i was on my way home.
good to know that it had...
not nice to have the weather dampen the last day of the year...
people ought to be out celebrating it...unlike me.


so in my attempt to spent a happy last day of 2005.
it dint turn out all so well.
went to church followed by long bus rides to boon lay to pick my boy up.
halfway....my phone vibrated... only to found out his godsis passed away.
no longer a happy day. no longer the day i was looking forward to the whole week.


he tried to be strong and kept his promise to shop with me.
the weather din allow that....things that happened din allow that.
so there i was....on my way home alone from clementi....
with the rain adding to my loneliness.

A happy new year to one and all. =)


it had been a pretty eventful year of 365 days since Jan 1st 2005.
in JAN....i had you...and no regrets ever since.
in FEB... my nicest valentine's day
in MARCH...my horrid Block test 1.

she said she was a flirt. ya...she said it out loud...
den she started telling us that she doesnt believe that we should be tied down to a guy.

for 5 years.....

she says she encourages her husband to look at other girls...
and that she will look out for pretty girls and TELL him...

she also started saying she doesnt wanna have kids cause she doesnt want the reponsibility and commitment.

den comes my question....why marry? sigh....

back at work..zzz..
the familar footsteps of "best fren"
the sound of the coffee machine.
the mundane working hours...

bangkok trip was awful...
just pure horrendous.
i was like pissed and irritated most of the time.
and i barely had time to shop.
thanks to my wonderful beloved uncle.
damn it....it was as though i was running the amazing race.
wth..

anyway...its too long and too irritating to blog out everything.
to simply summarize it.
bad trip.
and i will NEVER travel with my uncle...
period.

i wanna go bangkok again though.
cause i freaking din get much things for myself.
talk about shopping....all i bought was a few bras for myself.
that's about it.
darn....like that's ALL???!!!!!!??
wtf....

anybody interested in going to bangkok???


christmas weekend is over.
barely felt the christmas-sy mood this year.
sigh....
maybe cause i only came back on the 23rd.
feeling DARN F up. *smile*
apologies with the language.

christmas eve was spent with baby and his family at costa sand at east coast.
bbq...and that's about it. sigh...
a little boring.

christmas day itself was dinner at my aunt's place as usual.
got a levi's voucher.. a charles n keith voucher and a polo tee.
that's about it.
heh....guess they all ran out of ideas on what to buy for me.
so vouchers are good. den i can go shop myself....wheee....

boxing day was spent with baby again.
poor boy had to book in at 9pm.
and he was so darn upset.

conclusion: army makes guys upset..
especially mine. sad....





sorry for saying those mean words to you
sorry for making you worried.
SORRY~!!! *smuacks*

dun wanna go to bangkok anymore.....
*sob*

happy birthday pretty wanting!

about an hour to lunch now.
and sam n i had did NOTHING since reporting for work.
basically we're getting paid to surf the net.
for now.

my cousin's gonna drive me to the airport straight after work.
=) off to bangkok...
which i dun think will be such a great trip.


would rather be in singapore and not leave my baby in a lurch.
he seemed so upset to be back in camp.
feel awful leaving him alone when he needed me...

it seems that guys being in army only make them more treasure their girlfrens more.
so i guess...that's good for most girls out there...
rite?

its christmas week....whoopee...
had a fairly good weekend i guess.

met up with the sailors on fri.
queued for an hour beforer dinner at nydc.
it was fun.
everybody was present.

after dinner...we walked like from wheelock to heeren..
hoping to find a place at the balcony.
and we slowly moved down to emerald hill.
and den back to the al fresco coffee club.
in the end..had to settle in a squeezy cosy corner in starbucks.

but it was fun.
catching up on everybody's life.
esp cheryl and her vet stories...
"castrating" the dogs and cats... and the horrendous and painful looks on the boys faces.
grace and her foreign frens.
charlene and her gigs.
pure hilarious.

cheryl: ya lar...after you cut it off...just tie a knot.
jin: huh?
cheryl: just a normal knot larz. knot knot.
jin: so you can choose wad knot to tie?
chong: ya..reef knot? bow line? half-hitch?
*laughters*
jin: ya...you can choose to tie a diff knot everyday!!


grace was talking about her british fren who likes relationships with NO STRINGS ATTACHED.
and jin got so excited.
den charlene mentioned her outgoing aussie frens too.
cant remember exactly who mentioned which country.
but because of the liberal minds and openess of the foreign counterparts mentioned
jinpeng started listing the countries he wants to visit.

cant wait for the sailing gathering.
miss the team already.


sat was mahjong with the gang
and i won like 24 bucks.
from everybody. so i was like the ONLY winner.
think i'm condemned by leslie now.
won really big tiles. and won many games too.
les told me to announced that i was waiting to game if i was to be waiting.
special requirement from me and only me.

woohoo....every mahjong game should be like that.
*grinz*

went out with baby to suntec after to do my last min christmas shopping.
ended up buying huge barney for my little princess.

woke up early this morning to head down to city hall for the mango sale.
my crazy cousin wanted to go.
gosh...this would be my first and last first day mango sale ever.

firstly,
i had to join the crazy queue at 715 am.
which was already 40 people long...in a single file.
den i have to wait for the doors to open at 8am??

secondly,
people were pushing me around.
and taking into account i'm pretty short and comparatively small.
i could barely even figure my way around.
gosh.
all i saw was boobs and bags.

thirdly,
i got stomped on by freaking heels.
stabbing hard into my poor feet.
ouch.

to top that off... the clothes arent even that nice.
sigh....i'll just stick to shopping when there's lesser people.
frantic shopping is just not me.
could literally see the cat claws coming out of the ladies.
fighting for that piece of clothing they eyed.
the stares they give you when you're holding to some nicer top.

where's the joy of shopping.
no enjoyment derived there.
pointless.

left the shop within 10 mins.
and waited outside for my cousin and sam.
staring at people was much more interesting.

a number of ladies brought their guys there.
poor guys...
they were there to fulfil their duties

DUTY 1: to buy breakfast for their honeys while their honey joined the queue early in the morning.
DUTY 2: to be the "shopping bag", i.e, where the girls dump their shopped clothes at. --saw 3 guys by the corner looking bored with hands filled with clothes--
*giggles*
DUTY 3: to queue up for payment as the ladies continue scramming for clothes.
DUTY 4: pay for them???


i'll stick to slow shopping with my frens.

got my pretty new birks today...
whee.....happy....
i would prefer them in white though.
but i already have another in that colour.
oh well....this colour is pretty pretty too.


i love this new laptop i'm using now too.
nice.
the old one back at the old office was horrendous.
killer to my poor fingers.


hate working at this new office.
hate that bitchy lawyer who THINKS she's damn hot.
ewwwww.....
that's about it.
thou shall be nice.
=)

been wandering the 48th floor office at uob plaza yesterday.
just settled into the new office...
which other than the splendid view....i barely like.
it's more cramped up den the old office...
worse still....filled with more people. esp irritating ones.
even the bosses barely have enough rooms for themselves.
so basically i'm just gonna have to hop around.

sitting in one of the big bosses room now.
he aint coming back till next year.
so for now...
i'm typing away with the gorgeous view of half of shenton way, sentosa and the southern view just behind my screen.
gorgeous. pure bliss. wonderful.






a sudden guilt just slapped me hard.
feel that i've neglected my girls.
just feel so drifted away from them.
miss sera...miss lijie...miss those days the three of us were always hanging around.
miss vivien...the times we always played around.
just wished i had more time for them.

maybe cause i'm no longer on the same "year" as them.
maybe that's why i feel so dislodged.



drifting away by myself.
miss you all.

Happy birthday Willy....


3 things i did today.

1. got angry with you. -sorry-
2. minimized baby's lost in mahjong game. -phew-
3. bbq-ing for andy's brother's birthday. -zzz-


2 things i regretted doing today.

1. getting angry with you.
2. skipping mass.


1 thing i wanna do now.

1. hug you to sleep.


christmas is coming in 2 weeks
havent started christmas shopping.
and i barely feel the christmas mood this year.
is it cause i'm broke??

but somehow...
the idea of buying presents for everybody is a very appealing thought.
besides totaling the receipts at the end of the day.......

not boasting here but sometimes...
do think that i'm quite efficient when i want to be.
note the " want to be" though.
been helping out in packing the files of diff lawyers into boxes the last 2 days...
cause we're shifting to the new office next week.

and the people here are like finding work for me and sam to do.
cause we tend to finish wad is given to us pretty quickly.

anyway...office politics have set in against the both of us.
yucks. but bring it on.

that aside...went back to collect my testimonial this early morning.
and i have a pretty good one of that.
ya...another testimonial that happily promotes me to be a cousellor.
just like back in st.nicks.
The only diff is that my O's testi emphasized on my 120+ CIP hours.
but in JC...ahhaa....i barely did any CIP....so the focus was more on class rep and sailing.
being responsible....being a team player.
oh well....at least the facts are fairly accurate for me as compared to my classmates.
but at the end of day...... i sound like this really lovely girl who everybody likes and talks to....
which i really doubt so.

HAppy birthday grace~!
it was yesterday...but blogger was down..so yup


i'm still burnt.
still in pain.
i've started peeling a little too.
my skin is so dry. gosh..

i'm so sad..
cause i've got this tiny white peeled patch on my face.

it's been a long time since i last baked myself under the sun.

yesterday...went out to sea with his family...
and now...
i finally have a tan...
i'm finally darker....

had a really nice time yesterday...
speeding out to pulau hantu...
followed by sun-tanning at the deck of the boat..
and of course....playing and jumping of the boats and bridge...
pure silliness...but pure fun...

my shoulders are hurting bad now.
ouch.
got a mild bite by stupid jellyfish...
baby got bitten too.
double ouch.

love my tan...love the sun.

had a class chalet at changi yesterday.
almost everybody was there with the absence of peiwen and lihmin only i think.
even our darling boys came.

leon just touched down from hk and he rushed over. with fresh lao po ping.
so sweet. think this boy changed so much over the year.

oh yeah.
mr peh joined us too.

mr peh was kinda like "serving" us.
clearing the mess we created..
he was like "haiyo...u girls never clean up wan eh"
bbq-ing for us.
ya...and he claims he was "chicken-biased"
cause he only bbq-ed chicken wings.
anyway...he made great choc bananas.
yummilicious....plus fattening of coz.

he's such a funny t-cher.
he's like one of us.
he kindly offered to "chauffer" the girls everywhere...like pick them up from the mrt.
send them so they could get e last train. and even like offered to send those staying over early back home e next morning.
how nice is that.

anyway..i think i bbq great marshmallows. serious.
crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. *anybody wants one?*
wanting makes nice prawns.
and yeanling make yummy sausages.
we're great cooks man.


the wind was like really strong last night.
and i mean really.
you could seriously be blown away man.
i'm used to strong winds out at sea..but this was like....whoa.
the waves were slamming hard onto shore...
sounded like it was the end of the world.
scary.

hope to have a class chalet soon again.
miss my class already..
thanks for the great night.

menghui dear...thanks for getting the chalet k?
and jiefang n yeanling for being my crazy photo partners.
love ya all.

met my girls for dinner yesterday.
6 out of 7 present..
where did darling lijie go? i wonder.

anyway...some were late... and some had to leave early.
short but sweet.
i'm so glad i met my girls.
and i miss them so much.

tee hee...i got bored over at baby's house e other day.
so i decided to snap my time away.
fun.

love this pic......

love this boy.

sometimes i just love it so much when my mummy's not in singapore.

my daddy is so much better when it comes to telling him we're out.
my mom will start asking lotsa of questions and start her usual nags once we said we're going out.
i'm 19...and she just wouldnt let go.

daddy is great...
all he would ask is where and who...just for the sake of asking...
and den he would say dun come home too late ok?

that's it.
lurve my daddy.
