Journey to the west

On wednesday, the east-side and semi east-side girls all headed to jurong for a little exploring since it is far away from where we always go. After our super salty ramen lunch, we h1 three got to sit on the most humungous arm chair ever hehe and went mad being trigger-happy while meiyi jac and hwee got their nails done. Walked around jurong point and got kinda lost, and after bubble tea we all squeezed into hwee's cute car and made our way back to the east, conquering nearly all the highways in the process hahaha :) the four of us kiddies squashed at the back for an hour, while in front jac worked the gps while hwee drove. I am convinced that jac can win amazing race on her own! And i'm looking forward to more wednesdays together! Pictures from meiyi vera and hwee.

On low low days, the one person you need is the one that knows how to fill empty but not awkward silences with Queet Queet. But today.. the people i always thought i'd count on to save the day are somehow even more conspicuously absent :(

Lucky stars!

So blessed so blessed so blessed!!! And i can't believe this is happening to me. Gosh haha.. but i'm also very very scared. Nevermind, one step at a time.. here i go hehe :)

Is rocks :)

5 days of insane running about with 5 other mad girls haha in taiwan, which is kind of a messy city but i like how it has so much character. Just about everything about it was vibrant heh from the bright lights and the whole urban thing it has going on, the crowded streets, chinese chatter, the really nice people, easy transport and food everywhere. And the funny signs and the weather with the right amount of sunshine (for me anyway) and breeze! Our See You Hotel was a great place to stay too, uber cool and comfy. We did about a million things everyday, but i really enjoyed every minute of it.

People ask me to tell them about taiwan, and i usually can't think of anything except to say it was the best fun ever. Hahaha which doesn't say very much but it really was just so so so fun. Everything was fun!














There was never a dull moment. From hwee's wrestling with her foldable chair - which i think it almost won haha, leow's birdie wings, jac's power at climbing stairs and what not, and the model roomies vera and abc.. even the sian shopping at wufenpu which got us all a little high from being jaded and to using hyperboles (this is SO cute! haha) to some of the crazy nights we spent with the masks and gansta shots. Policeman encounter, beatboxers, singing songs together, cute canto couple.. I really really loved this trip! Not just everything we did saw ate heard felt but definitely because you guys were just amazing travel buddies :D

In all i think this getaway came at just the right time; with all the indecisive stress over uni peaking, work beginning to get kinda tiresome, plus all the restlessness of this slow slow no-school life pace. Even though its all over... (hear this reverberate on your com screens!?!?) it really isn't! Because i didn't feel that sianness that usually comes with the end of holiday, only just imagining the many more good trips to come. HEH.

'baby hai bin toh ah?' :) where is our next trip going to be!

Its really over!!! (or not hehe)

It was such a blast, five whole days of crazy crazy fun - i'm still quite giddy from everything and really tired in a good way. I had the best 5 days crammed with mad picture taking, a lot of indulging in food and clothes, and all those (as abc would say) weird-ass hilarious moments... but most importantly, the 5 of you who made this trip just too awesome. I LOVE TAIWAN! TAIWAN TOUCHED MY HEART!

Hwee jac abc leow vera wo ai ni men!!!! But now in the meantime its back to this sad sad life when i wake up haha. No really, i'm gonna miss french toast for breakfast and watching mtv in a dazed mode when i wake up. I already miss just going a little nuts before we sleep at night with you guys!

Spin me around

Don't know what to expect! Crazy roommates haha, non-stop camera snapping, shopping and food madness... oh and the showdown between slow shoppers (the As ftw!) and the fast ones. Less than 24 hours to departure, but my brain is in some incoherent hazy state, and i have this checklist post stick which i haven't ticked anything off yet. I am tired, but too excited to really get any rest... and i'm yet to finish packing. My mum is raising her eyebrows at what i'm bringing(if i look weird you guys better be going down with me!), while my dad told me to unpack half my luggage haha. Love this pre-trip excitement, but i hate how my entire mind is in chaos now and my room one big mess.

Now though just can't wait to zip up the baggage, shut my eyes and wake up real early, have big breakfast at macs with jon when he sends me to the airport, and spend the next five days with some of my favourite people.. although there's really a lot i'll be missing :)

Ready, get set.. to jet-set! Heh!

My hankerchief encounter!

I think loss solidifies the place of something held close to the heart, and then emptiness sets in with absence and thats when its just awful. Sometimes i feel very tired, sometimes i feel quite hopeful, and then i feel a little sad.. but i think the ambiguity of all these confusing emotions - while it may not equate to happiness, the energy in itself altogether is really not so different. Heh? So its all not too bad :) let whatever will be will be.

Almost paradise!

MC got me the best socks in the world all the way from korea with jihoo's faces on them and i feel so happy :D :D :D Team jihoo! And today was a blast with mahjong at jac's den and then i think we tore down ichiban sushi with our loud tv talk and singing. Hello a13 girls you guys are so funny and i love you all!

2 magical words

Yesterday night was one of those nights when i was lying in my bed at 3 am, feeling awfully tired but too happy to sleep :) i finally got a sat night off in the longest time and i think i really forgot how great weekends can be.



The second pic was funny because it was js' birthday but he isn't even in the picture hahaha... and i got to meet lydia and alvin who just had his first book out for our favourite prata later that night!

I am looking forward to... to retaining my title as mahjong queen tomorrow haha and drama fest and meeting mc, rollerblading, prawning on wednesday, getting to use bugsy, packing for taiwan, taiwan.. and a whole lot more next week heh. I also can't wait to rave about jihoo with annabelle haha and try to get neutral jac to cross over to the brighter side! And i'll be desperately trying to stay off paopaochar because i am going to have it every meal when we're there!!! Haha.. and all these in between working 4 nights next week. Yay. Just 9 days to taiwan now!

LOUSY

'Horrible', 'meiyouyong', 'waste of talent', 'you are your worst enemy'.. and on and on he goes, shaking his head and tsking! I tell you, HE is my worst enemy. I don't think i've ever been in such close proximity to a person and stopping myself from reaching over to throttle him. My driving instructor! He makes me want to huff and puff and die already. As if i can help being kanchiong.. this is only my seventh lesson! What does he expect me to do, weave in and out of tiny squashed lanes seamlessly like an expert? Isn't it normal to garbla sometimes, especially when the situations can be so unexpected and nerve-racking.

Sigh so much for driving lessons! And for travelling all the way to tampines every week. Like today. In the heat. In a cab! Because the bus took forever to come and i didn't want to miss a minute with him - and then when i'm with him i feel like scum. And he managed to end the lesson with 'i have high hopes in you' haha while i felt like a sad sponge. I'm a terrible case of nerves.. and i really wish he'd help me out by not making me feel worse and instead maybe we can cultivate a better instructor-learner relationship :@ :@ :@

Haha on a lighter note, congrats hwee on passing!! I'm so happy for you and i wish i could be in your position right now and here's to conquering evil mean drivers on the road and evil instructors too hahaha.

Today we celebrated lois's birthday! And we wore barney party hats and stuck the fiesta cheese cake with 19 candles and got her daisies too :D and over sushi, while reminiscing about peirce for the 1000th time, lois reminded us how in sec 1 mr j would shout 'on your feet....up!' and then we had to bounce up from the hard parade square cement floor, punch the air and roar in unison 'PEIRCE!'

Hahaha... that was all just so lame. I remember feeling so stupid every time we were forced to repeat it until we got it right. Funnily enough, sometimes i just kind of wish i could get the chance to be transported right back to those early mornings again and do it all just once more. Sigh. Even with pay and all the good job perks work can't be compared to school at all haha.

Alaska bomb!

Daddy's birthday dinner earlier this april, and my brother's girlfriend serene came too! My dad doesn't care much for birthdays, so we forced this on him... and we all caught shinjuku incident in the cinemas afterwards - our first trip to the cinema together in the longest time. I spent nearly the whole show with my hands over my eyes and feeling a little lightbulbish in between my parents and jon and serene. But it was fun. Heh. I love my family especially on days like these when we are all not irritable :D
