my HOLLYHOQUE stuff are not here yet!! im starting to get worried, they should be here by yesterday.. ): all these anxiety suffered cos of the $2.24 saved.
Exams are round the corner, 1 more month, stuck between being happy about it anot, 'cos Dear and I are going on our short BKK trip just 1 mth n a week from now. Totally looking forward for it, for the fact that we booked our tix last year from the Jetstar sale. Hotel not booked yet cos of the bloody protests.. but most likely pple would get tired by then. I should be scrimpin and saving for the trip, judging im spending near to 1k (stuff there are damn cheap -> buy more!) but im still crazy blogshopping still. Im not myself.
Mahjong last sunday at my house with molly, yh and et. Dear joined in halfway. Lady luck wasnt with me, lost 10 plus to Molly and et. It was still enjoyable. Sat, went to celebrate darling lily's bday at the Central, Partyworld, we had a hell lot of fun there and finally, fish head steamboat at Tiong Bahru. Dinner amounted to 100 for the 7 of us and we stayed there in the Hongkongy atmosphere to catch up n gossip.
HW111 assignment due soon.. our research topic: how has the media influenced ppl on the concept of beauty (to be slim)? Indeed thats a huge part of it attributed to the media. I hate the media, cos it defined me ugly. Sis has been on a diet and lost 3 kg while im still bingeing. OMG save me.
TLCN: when will b our mahjong session?!!? GRRRR.
CNY is coming, oh great, angbao doesnt matter as muc to me now althou I have been rather broke 'cos of online shopping. Its killing me yet a salvation to me, what a paradox. N i still feel I will carry on getting hooked to it. CNY is gonna b the true killer. I hate to pretend that we are oh-so-close with relatives, I had to play along 'cos its quite a mutual thing, n if I don't, it would perhaps lead to a worse situation I would like to be in. Good thing my grandparents did nt produce more offspring, we could complete visiting in a day.
Its 3 in the midnight n im typing all these nonsense, could gauge how lunatic I am from there. I kind of lost my actual personality, the just-let-the-days-pass kind of attitude, which i consider a virtue. Who I am now is a totally artificial me manipulated by the expectations pressured on me. The stresss to do well, look good and be nice. In fact, this is too far off from what I am able to achieve, if only the attempts to do so are much less difficult.
Looking forward to tmr's date with Dear - you are quite abit of my salvation.
MUGGING
I think i made it sound as if I'm enjoyin it. Oh well.
Im so wishing its gona be over soon enough.
My blog is so abandoned, I think Im talking to myself. I just need a place to rant.
Im distracted by the thought of getting a new mobile tmr. HTC TOUCH DIAMOND 2!
SO CHIO! Im so gonna land my hands all over you tmr.
2nd anticipation: Xmas.
Not long after, the season of giving! All I want for christmass is u...
I NEED TO LEAD A MEANINGFUL LIFE FROM NOW ON
4 weeks since school started.. Things are much better than the first few days, when me n my friends were quite lost, so we took the map wherever we go, making it so obvious that we are freshies. Haha.
So far so good is NTU to me. The people. lecturers, culture and the food. They are making me so fat today. Was supposed to meet Vic today, but the date was postponed to next week due to her commitments, Thank god, I think she can't even recognise me when I'm standing right in front of her. Lol.
Anyway, I'm not gonna join a CCA, I wanna get a First Class, so I'm working on it. (People who know me very well will know I'm enthusiastic only at the start of everything) Haha. I Will try to keep this passion going, after hearing all those stories of good honours leading to goooooooood salaries. I wanna b a rich taitai in my retirement days. Lol.
I woke up so early to participate in Radio 91.3 Shanghai trip giveaway. Some ppl may think I'm crazy, but If I were to be so lucky like this guy, I will be on my way to Shanghai ): Nvm, I will try again next week.
Can't wait for COMEX as I'm getting my netbook!
Last friday, went to Causeway Pt to meet Dear for dinner. We were attracted to Crystal Jade's steamboat poster at the restaurant. Although Seoul Garden provides a larger variety with hotplate, we decided on Crystal Jade cos it sounds so yummy, exclusive to the outlet at Causeway pt! Its priced ard 20 per person, comes with a limited amt of prawns per pax, the only -ve pt is that no fish, no crab, nt much seafood. Although bugis provides all the above, of course the ambience and hygiene nt as good. Personally, I'm satisfied with Crystal Jade's steamboat.
Through the whole dinner, only took this pic. We were busy eating. We both love the dumplings to the max. In fact, i'm not a dumpling lover, but here, the dumplings and wontons really rock my tastebuds. Very very nice! Like those Har Gao in high class dimsum restaurant. We ordered like 3 times, 2 servings each = 3x2x4= 24!! We ate approximately 12 dumplings each. This is crazy. In the pic above, the prawns are actually stil alive. Imagine their pain when they have a bamboo stick in them, although feeling sinful, they are really yummy. Svs is great too, although their face black like charcoal, they kept refilling out soup and drink at a fast pace, the lady even tell us to eat slowly after our 3rd order. Good! Will be back again!
Our tummies so bloated after that, so went arcade for some hoops! We dropped by TS and Dear's eyes glued to the tv set showing Micheal Jackson's 1992 concert. So we bought a copy home to enjoy!
The next day, prepared early to go to NDP preview, Clement's sis won those tickets. So excited. The mailer told us that the seating starts at 4, we were right there at that time. I think its a lil early, cos the programme start at 6. OMG. We were happy suntanning there. But 2 hours dint felt so long, perhaps with the company. In a while, the motivators came out and the programme start in no time. We even got a free picture taken by those ppl promoting for Canon, it was printed into a card for us, Nice! I find this year's NDP quite entertaining, not too bad, but I'm not in the right position to comment on it, cos I'm not a NDP fan, din't even view it on TV last year. Still, it was great being in the crowd, yelling 'Happy Birthday Spore' and doing the Marina Wave!
Took like 160 pictures! I really like the one with 2 hearts. They are lights from the funpack. I dont understand why Dear's light can turn blue, its actually either white or red. Lol, but it died after awhile, guess its spoilt. After NDP, we walked to Funan and Dear's Dad picked us up for supper @ Balestier Bak Kut Teh.
Sunday, brunch was with Dear's family @ Red Star Restaurant. The dimsum there is superb! Very very nice! The previous sunday was at Chinatown Pt's Mouth Restaurant, for dimsum as well. Both are very nice, comparable to Yum Cha, this made me miss the days my Dad bring me to Yum Cha for dimsum, and I ordered like crazy, those were the days I'm at my peak of my weight of cos, haha.
After brunch, his Dad sent us to Vivo, we were heading to St James for Shop n Swap Flea Mkt! I loove it, only if its more organized, less messy, and brighter. Nevertheless, I still spent a total of 20 dollars to get a brown cowboy vest and an oversized top, from popular blogshop stalls, its only at flea markets could I get those bargains!
Upcoming happenings for me!
1) Tmr would be HSS Welcome Day. I'm going alone, so miserable. Only there for the matriculation card and refreshments. Hehe!
2) Friday night's dinner would be steamboat with family organized by me! Yummy!
3) Visiting Flea-tique this sunday at Singapore Arts Museum for more bargains!
4) Watching UP this weekend
5) Spending the whole long weekend with Dear and family (his and mine) is loooves.
6) School starting next Tues ):

P.S 3: To all: Enjoy our long nation birthday holiday! Esp those starting school anytime soon, all the best!
literally SHOPPED TILL I DROP these days while i'm not blogging. it feels like nothing when i use ib, i keep spending n spending, n when i did my math, i spent a lump sum of near to 200 dollars! like OMG. ytd, caught up with BonitoChico's sale. Bought a dress and a top, when they emailed me the invoice bout 2 hours later, they added on that the rest of the items are OOS!! this is crazy, no wonder many say they buy on impulse there, there isnt much time to think whether it is worth the money, people just grab!
Ytd, i walked all the way to the jurong west stadium, i wanted a swim, and upon reaching i only realized that the pool is having mainteinance every tues. WTF. i had to walk back again, i dont consider this exercise for heaven's sake. and being at home means computer, means online shopping, means spending money again for me.. ):
Im pretty inspired to have an online business, nt really for the money, but cos it serves as an excuse for me to go overseas often. I really miss travelling, excluding the msia trips, i really need a getaway. Hoping for one at the end of the year!
Would upload pics of my loots when they're here!
*Winks* ;)
