Thursday evening was spent with Syafiah. When it comes to breaking fast somewhere other than home, you’ve got to come early. If not, all the seats will be taken up. Every eating place was already pack with people. So, we had to break fast at McDonalds. That was the only place with seats available. Feeling gluttony, i ordered Mega McSpicy! I have a big appetite these days.
After dinner, went shopping and spent the rest of the night at Sun Plaza Park.
Out of boredom, i sew a cover for my mascara and eyeliner.
Now, i want to sew one with my name on it!
I’m doing what i love. I know i may sound like a granny, but i love sewing! I’m in love with high waist skirts. And when boyfriend told me he love seeing me wear them, i’ve decided to sew more! I completed sewing a floral one within a day. Its only hand sewn. I still have to machine it.
Feeling ambitious, i started on another cloth. This time round, i had difficulties sewing because the cloth is made of satin – kept slipping off my hands. Still, i got it done halfway.
I wish for my very own sewing machine!
Its great that Boyfriend was out of camp on Thursday. We had a really good conversation during dinner. Went for a late night movie and i must say, Final Destination 4 was a total waste of time. I didn’t enjoy it at all! The entire show is about people dying in gruesome ways and i dont find that meaningful at all. I think the producer is sick to have come up with such storyline. Got home in the late morning at 4:00 AM by cab.
Late Friday night was spent at Shahrin’s 22nd birthday BBQ.
While the guys were busy talking about NS, i spent the time dipping my feet into the hot pool with Liyanah. A security came later to told us off since we were not supposed to do that with proper swimming attire. Feeling embarrassed, we had to look around and make sure that no one noticed both of us getting dissed by the security guard.
After the BBQ, we had supper because some of us were still hungry. Halfway through supper, it rained so heavily. It was then, i decide to stay over.
I returned home on Saturday afternoon after a movie. Watched I love you, Beth Cooper with boyfriend. I didn’t quite like it though i find one scene super hilarious. Boyfriend on the other hand, kept laughing like monkey.
Saturday evening was spent at home with family. Celebrated grandma’s and cousin’s birthday.
Seriously, all these late nights makes me feel that the holidays are truly here for me to enjoy!
“Pick me, Choose Me, Love Me”
I know i’ve been going on for days about Grey’s Anatomy. Its addictive. I’m finally done with the last episode of Season 5. I’m glad they are FINALLY married. And you know, i cried while watching some of the episodes. I can feel my heart aching with sadness at some point. Its depressing! I’ve been sleeping at 7:00 AM and waking up at 1:00 PM the last few days. Season 6 premiere is on 24th September! I can’t wait for it to start. I’m dying to know what happens next.
The end of Year 3, Semester 1.
The BBQ was
My arms are aching from fanning the fire. The entire time, we were trying to save the dying fire. Seriously, if the whole class goes on a jungle trip, we will have to survive without fire because we sucked at making fire. HAHA. I ate like a glutton and Farhan makes a great cook. Took a stroll along the beach but there were so many cockroaches partying around. My hair actually stand at the sight of them. Wriggly crawlies everywhere! I wouldn’t want them to get under my pants. So, it was a great idea to stay away. Oh, other than cockroaches, we saw a big rat too! On top of all that, it was fun! Really really fun :)
I’m glad that exams are SO OVER! Now, back to Grey’s Anatomy.
I simply love the show! It can be funny and depressing at the same time. What’s there not to love about Meredith and Derek? Oh, did i mention that Derek’s smile makes me tilt my head to the left and go “Awww”. So dreamy! My favourite episode is the one with Meredith’s snoring problem!
Day 1:
“Morning.”
“You watching me sleep? What are you? Some kind of weirdo who watch his woman sleep?”
Day 2:
“You watching me sleep again?”
“You look cute when you sleep?”
“Yeah don’t you sleep? Why are you always up before the alarm?
“Oh, I’m a light sleeper. Its no big deal.”
“So, something woke you up.”
“Its no big deal. Its just that.. you snore a little.”
“WHAT? I DO NOT!”
“Yes you do. I love it i find it charming that such a big noise can come from such a little person.”
“Do you know whats not charming?”
“What?”
“Your morning breath.”
“I’m sorry, WHAT?”
“I’m just saying… Seeing that you are always up before me, you might consider brushing your teeth.”
Day 3:
“Oh, you have got to be kidding me! Where is George?”
“He spend the night at the hospital.”
“And you slept in his bed? All night? See, you are telling me that my snoring is so bad… How did you deal with it all those nights before i found out about your wife?”
“He usually sleeps on the couch, sets an alarm, gets back in bed before you wake up.”
“Yeah, dont want to hurt your feelings.”
Day 4:
“Shut it off. PLEASE!”
“Can you not snap at me?”
“I didn’t sleep much.”
“Maybe its because you were too busy shoving me every 5 minutes.”
“I wasn’t shoving you. I was nudging you”
HAHA. Exactly the same thing i’ll do when Terence snores. I’ll use my elbow to poke him. Nudge him whenever the snoring gets louder.
“I wore the nose drip.”
“Its cute. But it doesn’t work”
Day 5:
“There’s a surgery ya know. Some minor laser thing. That really helps. You should look into it”
“It has become physically impossible for me to kiss your face”
“I’m too tired to shave!”
Day 6:
Meredith gave Derek ear plugs so that he can sleep in peace.
HAHA.
I’m staring at the pile of notes in front of me. I had planned to study Chapters 1-7 on Saturday, Chapters 7-13 on Sunday and tutorials on Monday. So, i told myself, “There goes my weekend.” But instead of sticking to the plans, i made other plans.
I spent the entire day watching Grey’s Anatomy. I completed the whole of season 1 on Saturday and the whole of Season 2 on Sunday. Imagine the amount of hours spent watching one episode after another? I’m trying to focus and study really hard now for the last paper. However, “Greys Anatomy” kept playing in my mind all day! I still feel like watching it now, BUT i have to exercise discipline!
I dont lack the motivation.
But I lack the discipline.
Seriously, the Investment Analysis & Finance paper sucks. I was able to do the tutorials. I was able to do the past year papers. I was able to get perfect answers. But… why was i not able to do the exam paper?! Some of the questions left my mind totally blank. Seriously, what went wrong?
I can’t seem to memorise anything for the Global Business Environment paper. Everything that goes in, seems to be pouring out. Most of the time, i find myself chanting definitions in my sleep. See, i make my brain work even when i’m sleeping. Oh well, i did my best.
Since i’m in a panic mode, i’m in the mood to study for the Investment Analysis & Finance paper. I’m pushing myself as i dont want to end up having the “shitty feeling” of knowing that i didn’t study enough. I hope my financial calculator battery wont go dead during the paper tomorrow. I need it to “automatically” calculate and generate answers for me. I still dont know how to calculate using formulas and tables.
Meeting Kim in the morning tomorrow to do last minute revisions! I cant wait for the paper to be over so that can enjoy the weekend before the final paper on Monday. Woohoo!
I dreamt i was married to a Caucasian navy man. One day, he left for sea and he never return. I was pregnant and i eventually gave birth to a baby boy. I built a house to provide shelter for my son. He often ask, “Where’s daddy?” and all i answered was, “He is still out at sea.” I dont know where my husband went and i guess he died at sea.
My son was about 5 years old when he ran away from home one night. I thought i lost him and i cried. I CRIED in my dream! I even prayed to god, “Return my son to me.”
My son came back. He was holding on to the hands of a man. The man said, “I’m your husband’s brother. Your husband was lost at sea. We found him. He is still alive.” Out of nowhere, my husband came into the picture. I gave him a hug and felt glad that he is finally home. The return of my long lost navy husband and my 5 year old son makes a complete family.
What a dream. haha.
I’m over the moon. Totally smitten.
Just came back from watching The Proposal. It kept me laughing and made me go “awww, that’s so sweet” at certain scenes. After the movie, i told boyfriend, “Eh Ryan Reynolds is so good looking. I’ve only admired Ben Affleck. But now, I think i admire Ryan Reynolds too! He is gorgeous, right?”
and boyfriend gave a nod in agreement.
——————————————————————————————————–
1) Ben Affleck
2) Ashton Kutcher
3) Owen Wilson
Now, where do i put Ryan Reynolds?
Ben Affleck will still be my number 1 favourite.
So, i’ll put Ryan right after Ben.
Sorry Ashton Kutcher, move over! You’re in 3rd placing now. HAHA.
I survived the first day of fasting! Dinner was with boyfriend at Sakunthalas restaurant. He had rice with mysore chicken while i had my second try at cheese naan.
After the hearty meal, went over to Mustafa Centre to shop.
I took peek under my plaster stitch today. Saw the scar on my feet. Its ugly :( I complained to my mum and the most comforting thing she could say was, “You’re lucky that there’s no more gap. The width of the gap was really wide before this.” Maybe i should be thankful. Scars can be removed with patience.
I’m so dead. Tomorrow is Sunday and i’ve yet to start revising for Wednesday’s paper. OMG! I need to sleep and wake up to study tomorrow! Lalala.
I think i almost fainted in the bus while i was on my way to school. I felt so weak. I’m quite disappointed with my test marks. I got 11/20, which was 2 marks away from failing. It was an open book test but i tortured myself to study despite being so lethargic. I cant believe that was the marks i get. Why god, WHY!
While my friends like Maggie and Hong Yi are out watching movie, i’m spending my Friday night at home. Ramadan, the fasting month starts tomorrow and i’m feeling really excited! I cant wait to fast and go for night prayers at the mosque. During the month of Ramadan, paradise doors are opened while hell doors are closed and satans are chained. Devout Muslims will be showing their devotion to Allah through intensive worship and good deeds. I guess thats why i always feel that Ramadan is a holy and peaceful month. I love that feeling.
In case you haven’t know, my room is in a mess. Papers all over the floor, rubbish piled up at one corner and the floors haven’t been swept for a VERY long time. My grandma kept nagging and saying, “You better clean your room. If not, Angels wont visit the house.” Because of that, i spent my Friday cleaning up my room. Its so clean now that i feel so much happier! You have no idea how long i take to get it clean.
After all those cleaning, i spent the remaining night chatting with Syafiah over MSN. We’ve made plans to break fast and go for night prayers together. I cant wait for it to happen! We also played UNO on Facebook till wee hours in the morning. We met a pervert and a bunch of funny people. It was fun and i can’t stop laughing to myself.
Time check: 3:35 AM already. I better to get to sleep. I’m fasting tomorrow. Yay!
Oh… and before i forget, TERENCE PASSED HIS IPPT! Yay!
I’m so tired and deprived of sleep. Spent 2 days doing a video for the astronomy project which is due tomorrow for submission. Doing a video can be tedious and time consuming. My eyeballs feel like it is going to pop out soon from looking at the computer screen too much. Now, i’m ALSO studying for the tomorrow’s astronomy test. I’m so sleepy and yet i’m forcing myself to study and absorb as much information as i can.
After 2 days of madness, i cant wait for tomorrow to be over.
The Advanced Supply Chain paper was a disaster! When i went back to school for revision yesterday, i was able to understand what was going on since i did the tutorials beforehand. I was quite prepared for the paper. Perhaps 80% prepared. and when i flipped through the question paper just now, everything seemed foreign to me. Even though i answered the questions, i wasn’t sure of my answers. I did the calculations and had weird figures like 0.008%. How the hell is such a small percentage going to affect costs?
Omg, i’m hoping for a pass.
I just came back home from a movie. GI Joe was awesome!!! Taking some time off revision to watch a movie wouldn’t hurt a bit, right? Anyway, today’s revision with Kim was fruitful. I feel a lot more smarter now after doing the tutorials. haha. We initially started off at McDonalds. But after we were chased out by the manager, we went over to a park to continue with our revision. We were so close to nature. There was strong wind, red ants, leaves falling onto our heads and also an odd looking green spider. Weird thing is, i was able to absorb better under that kind of condition. haha.
Had initially planned to have Seafood at East Coast for dinner but it was raining heavily. However, dinner was still great! Went to our favourite place to eat. I had my favourite dish – Rice with garlic and spring onion chicken and boyfriend had his favourite too – Rice with sweet lemon chicken.
and oh, i’m having toothache :(
Had an impromptu movie night watching “Where got ghosts” yesterday. Felt that the show was quite disappointing. I didn’t laugh much and i looked bored during the movie. After the show ended at around 3:00 AM, spent the remaining hours gallivanting around the streets.
Got home at 10:00 AM and slept for awhile before getting ready to go out again in the evening. Went to the Starhub centre at Dhoby Ghaut because boyfriend wanted to re-contract his mobile plan. Guess what?! The amount boyfriend paid for Samsung Omnia was equivalent to the amount my mum paid for Samsung Preston! And now Samsung Preston is already going for $0 when you sign up for a 2-year mobile plan. I complained to my mum and i cant believe how fast mobile prices can change within a week! Should have waited for a week and my mum could have bought Samsung Omnia for me instead! Wasted :( After complaining, my mum is intending to re-contract my mobile plan to get a new phone for me. Hopefully, a wifi phone because i’ve become an internet addict.
Anyway, dinner was at Jalan Kayu prata cafe. I know, i know. What was a prata cafe doing at Dhoby Ghaut? Pretty weird but its a great place. I must say, the fried rice was delicious!!! I LOVE IT.
You’ve got to try out the place. Its located next to Plaza Singapura. You should be able to notice a row of restaurants next to the building.
Ok, off to sleep now. Meeting Kim in the morning to study for our Advanced Supply Chain paper. I cant believe tomorrow is Sunday already!
I was still up at 3:00 AM doing my final year project when i smell something burning. Since my laptop was on for more than 12 hours, i thought it was going to explode! I ignored the smell for a few minutes. Then, i got worried. Took a peek outside my window and i saw thick black smoke!!! Gosh. Something was really burning! Wake my sister up and told her, “Something burning!” Later, we found out that the recycling bin was on fire. My sister asked, “Want to take water and put out the fire?” I was thinking, thats quite a big fire. So, i called the police & waited for the fireman to arrive. While waiting, we saw a neighbour wearing only boxers without any shirt on. He brought a pail and was trying to put out the fire using water. So, both of us went to change and quickly took a pail to help him. By the time we were all ready, the fireman arrived. We stood at our corridor for a few minutes till the fire was completely put out.
When everything ended at 4:00 AM, my mum woke up complaining, “Why are all the lights on?” and we told her, “Did you know the recycling bin was on fire?!!” My mum cares about the environment. So earlier that night, she had thrown plastic bottles into the recycling bin. To think the stuffs that was meant to be recycled is badly burnt now. and the smell of burning plastic was just terrible.
Because of the fire, i couldn’t stop singing to Fire Burning by Sean Kingston. It is stuck in my head! The song goes.. “Somebody call 911! Shawty fire burning on the dancefloor. Whoa.” Maybe you can substitute the word “dancefloor” to “recycling bin” hehe.
Didn’t have to come school today and because i was home, i had breakfast in bed! Mum made breakfast for me & sent them to my room. So nice of her. I should count myself lucky :) And the day just gets better. While lunch was a plate of delicious mee goreng, dinner was chicken rice with crispy spicy drumlets. Everything cooked by mum. and oh, i had all kind of fruits. Banana, mango, green grapes and plum. Since its my dad’s birthday today, we had chocolate brownie cake too. HAHA. I’m going to get fat!
I’m so tired. My mum woke me up at noon because she wants me to go my aunt’s place for family gathering. I barely had 6 hours of sleep. I need about 11-15 hours of sleep a day, remember? I was reluctant and i kept complaining how tired i was. I purposely took a long shower which lasted more than half an hour. After the shower, searched for breakfast because i was feeling really hungry. Looked at the dining table and i saw… KFC waffle & eggs breakfast set and the twister meal! My mum suddenly said, “That’s breakfast for you.” Gosh. I feel so bad for throwing my temper at her. So nice of her to get breakfast for me! See… i can be bribed with nice food. haha. After breakfast, i got dressed and accompanied my mum to my aunt house till evening.
Went back home and found another aunt and cousin at my place! Omg. I spent the whole day eating. In the afternoon, there was food at my aunt’s place. In the evening, another aunt brought food to my house. Food at both places! I feel so stuffed. I’ve been eating too much these few days, eh?
HAPPY NATIONAL DAY SINGAPORE
First day of work and i was late! Even if i wake up 3 hours earlier to get ready, its not surprising if i cant be punctual. haha. Anyway, work was fun! I went back having purple eyeshadow and glitter on my eyelids. After work, rushed to Bugis Street with boyfriend to get new pair of shoes for myself. The one that i was wearing gave me blisters. By then, my stomach was growling. So hungry! Boyfriend suggested Zam Zam Nasi Briyani for dinner.
After dinner, we headed up to the theater and had an impromptu movie night watching “The Orphan”. Awesome show! Alright, time check: 4:00 AM. I have to sleep now. My legs are aching and i’m sooo tired!
Till then, send my regards to the sunrise.
As of today, its been 4 years since i know you.
————————————————————————————————————-
Phew! I had a long day. Did shopping, had dinner and went for a movie with boyfriend. ‘Overheard’ was a nice movie with a sad ending. I ate so much till i cant get to sleep now. My stomach feels so full and bloated! Dinner was at our favourite place, where we haven’t been to for a very long time.
My pick – Hotplate chicken rice
His pick – Hokkien Mee
Our pick – Fried wantan.
Even after dinner, we still had popcorn during the movie. Oh, and we wanted to have ice-cream too! haha. GLUTTON.
Tomorrow is National Day. I guess Singaporeans should be loving one another right now. But not in this case. Stupid b*tch. I was approaching the door of a mall. At the same time, another lady was at the opposite side of the door. She stood there looking at me. Know why? Because she was waiting for me to open the door for her. I opened the door and she rushed pass me. 3 words came to my mind. “WHAT THE FUCK!” She didn’t even allow me to go through the door first. Does she think i am her doorman? Seriously, the ugly side of Singaporeans killed my national spirit. Whatever happened to “This is home, truly”
Now, put that anger aside. I think i made the most irritating joke today. Boyfriend said, “I NS.” That made me laughed out loud. Just in case you dont know, NS stands for National Service. I said, “Dont you think that sound like “AN ASS.” So, when he said “I NS.” It sounded like “I AN ASS” to me. haha. Its like you’re telling me that you’re an ass. So funny. NS = AN ASS?
Ok, i’ve got to force myself to sleep now. First day of work tomorrow and i’m feeling nervous! Wouldn’t want to be late :)
If i didn’t wake up on time, i would have missed my practical test today. I set the alarm but i didn’t remember hearing it ring. Now, thats dangerous..
————————————————————————————————–
Boyfriend was out of camp since yesterday. Initially, we planned on shopping. Feeling tired, we ditched our shopping plans and went to catch up on our sleep instead. So, the day ended with a sumptuous dinner and a trip to the hypermarket to get 2 bags of apples.
I can only show you the satay we had. We were too hungry that we instantly whack our fried rice the moment it came. haha :)
The Incongruous Imagery in Surreal Art and Literature
