I'M ALIVEEEEEEEEEE!

okay, i seriously neglected this blog and i know its no surprise to many but this might be the longest hiatus ever. HAHA..sorry. i think nobody even bothers to read my blog anyways cos they expect me to not update anyways.

so anyways i've been on a cosmetics and skincare craze recently. and i think extreme boredom and restlessness have a hand in this cos i've been rotting at home for the whole holidays this time.

and of course my pocket has one ginormous hole in it cos all my time in front of the computer has caused a chain reaction with disastrous results. the possibilities are endless (and not in a good way)!

and on the note of skincare, its only after you do research do you realise how many flaws you have. and this is not comforting in the slightest..downright depressing actually...

and of course with online shopping,there is the inevitable waiting time which is driving me insane. i expect a sudden boom in parcels for me in the near future, this situation makes me excited on one hand and scared in another. cos i mean all items at once will show you the extent of how crazy you went...

Your heart says yes! (new stuffs! yay!) and it says crap! (surviving on air might be a good idea from now on).

so i might do reviews on the stuff that i get...depending on how bored or restless i am. haha..

of course i'm also contemplating on getting a part time job but its so hard to get on a student's timetable plus its my last year and i'm not sure about the project load for the coming semester (definitely not looking forward to)..

this new addiction is scary i tell ya...which is why i'll try to NEVER get a credit card because you never know when BAM! you're suddenly on this shopping rollercoaster..BEWARE!

U.S elects!

2008-11-05T21:39:00.001+08:00

Results are out!

It's really quite awesome to be part of the world watching the whole election and waiting for the results bcos you know the world will react to such a momentous occasion and to be part of that is really something...

SNL

2008-10-18T01:27:00.002+08:00

OMG!

How funny was the latest SNL episode with the Crazy Lady??

Totally hilarious i tell ya, my fav episode so far. I'm really liking Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers for this episode..

2008-08-24T22:31:00.003+08:00

i know! it's been really long since i updated my blog (as per my bad procrastinating habits). and as weiqi says, i have to blow off the dust off this blog first. *chokes indeed*

anyway i'm going to be starting my attachment as of tomorrow and heaven forbid that obstacles such as traffic jams and whatnot, get in my way because then i will be VERY screwed. my feelings now would be 1/2 dread and 1/2 excited. also very very nervous...

which i'm not sure why since this isn't my 1st time working. maybe its cos my pass/fail for this module hangs on a thread this time, and i can' say i wanna quit just cos i want to.

or maybe its the catasrophes that my klutzy self would bring on my person. Namely; falling flat on my face cos of my heels, becoming crippled cos of my heels, my bad memory failing me once more and i get scolded, so on and so forth. as you have guessed, ANYTHING and CAN happen.

i am not consoled or feeling any better about myself.

ok digressing, i went to sign up for JLPT with Rochelle and i made such a stupid mistake it can be seen as unforgivable. Registration -> Mon-Fri, 2.30-8pm.

we went on a saturday. but the only good thing is we didn't get lost.

and after that we went to the Japanese Summer Festival, which happened to be the same as last year's. and since we were early we went to Changi Airport first, and i saw T3 for the first time.

yes, abit slow i know but what are the chances that i'll go there anyways?

anyways it was quite fun, esp since Rochelle convinced me to get our portraits done by this Japanese artist. he's a really cute old man, haha.

I dunno what to say abt the portrait though, its ok overall. although my dad says it looks nothing like me.

ok signing off now so i can give myself some more grief about my attachment.
Ta!

2008-06-23T02:29:00.011+08:00

i caught Sex and the City recently with allyssia and i liked it. coincidentally we had a problem with the M18 thing with the lady at the counter. i dunno if i should take this as an insult or a compliment.

i love Mr. Big!

he's kind of an asshole but there's just something about his character that draws me in. and so after catching the movie i had to go for the series which i've been rushing through these few days. love it.

and also met up with Weiqi and Silin to queensway. which might be an ok hangout place with the food stalls at the basement and also because there's only a handful people, but getting there for me is quite troublesome. might change my mind if i still had concession though.

and i have pics! with my new do but don't laugh if you think i look toot...i'd prefer criticism to mockery..how messed up is that??

silin and me! :)

weiqi and me! :)

the 3 of us! :)

weird that it seems we cam-whored but we ended up with only 2 photos with all 3 of us together. Feels like we haven't met each other in soooo long. weiqi is always so busy and silin is working so i feel/think like the only slacker in the group anyways, haha...

i'm perfectly happy sitting at coffee street, drinking tea and watching videos or listening to music on weiqi's nifty mp4. its the feeling of being strangely content just sitting and talking and stuff. and not wanting to go home even when we said we would an hr ago.

2008-06-07T23:12:00.005+08:00

so recently i've been trying to reconnect myself with the kdrama scene, haha it's been quite awhile. and i found 1 thats funny & quite interesting, its called Powerful Opponents if anybody wants to go do a dramawiki search.

anyways i've been a contradiction lately, what with half being a miser and half wanting to spend. and i feel like im stewing at home like a homeless person but with a home. i dont really know how to explain myself if you ask me to anyway. i think this feeling is caused by the things left undone are the causes. unfortunately, my mood makes me think unnecessarily about stuff that i usually wouldn't give much though to or brush away easily. and since i said unfortunately, its sadly not a good thing.

oh! and the attachment thing for school is getting on my nerves too! quite sick of the whole thing actually. i really wanna get an attachment at Borders and so far the attempt has been unsuccessful..sad sad sad!

ok now i have some pics, but NO, people! Hell has not frozen over...i've just had this morbid thought starting the beginning of this year that if i die i at least want some memory of me behind. which sadly happens when i'm alive so this is my attempt while im still alive and kicking.haha..

we really dont look alike! haha...

ok this was taken super long ago, which Weiqi took quite long to upload but i took longer to post here. haha...procrastination. it kills.

and this is my pic of the month! teukie with shades. looooooove this pic..haha. of course i wanna adopt him now since Weiqi cruelly abandoned him for Donghae.

2008-05-24T07:28:00.002+08:00

When is enough, Enough?

When is enough, ever really Enough?

2008-05-22T01:56:00.002+08:00

Recently i caught 2 movies, Iron Man and Narnia: Prince Caspian.

Both movies are EPIC i tell you...sooooo good!!!!

I was not a fan of the 1st installment of Narnia bcos i thought it kinda lacked plot, but this 2nd installment does get your mind going more than the previous one, and it doesn't hurt that the guys in the movie have grown up and Ben Barnes (Prince Caspian) is just dreamy so i'm not complaining.

Then there is Iron Man! which is really one of the most enjoyable comic hero come-to-life movie that i have enjoyed so far. the building of the iron man suit is really cool in my opinion (both the old and modified suits). Also, jasmine and i both agree that Robert Downey Jr. is hot for an older man...haha!! love his voice and the way he speaks, and i believe that he really made the movie his, like how i like wolverine in X-men.

So anyways, the next action movie on the list is Indiana Jones: the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. really anticipating this one cos i looooove the Indiana Jones Series. not to mention Shia Lebeouf in the latest one. hee..

Also, for a touch of Japanese cultur; Accuracy of Death by Kaneshiro Takeshi!! :D
should be watching with rochelle, my jap classmate...
he's my sensei's favourite actor! of course, he is also very easy on the eyes.

BUT! it is only coincidental that all the movies here have drool-worthy actors!
i'm not really that shallow...right? haha...

wq+silin: Queensway!!!!!!

2008-05-06T01:06:00.002+08:00

OHMYGOSH!!!! totally forgot...

i must also announce that im TRYING (trying being the keyword here) to fulfill my ambition to become NERDD!!!

and you shld really try to help me, not laugh at me like WEIQI blatantly mocked me and laughed in my face. HMPHH!

ok so the idea is slightly laughable (or alot?) but support me la! tsk!

2008-05-06T00:53:00.003+08:00

i have REALLY been m.i.a for very long i know..haha. so you can see the extent of how the word 'lazy' extends to me.

lately i have really been fluctuating between extremes; be it in emotions or actions. one sec i feel super hectic like there's so many things to do, the next im feeling really restless and dont feel like doing anything at all. one minute i feel like im thinking maturely and the next i wanna act childishly crazy....mixed feelings abt the pple in my life too, be it from JC or poly.

seriously, i think its time to admit that i DO have issues!!!!!!

anyways, i have finally gotten my jap-eng dictionary so yay for that, although i had to settle for the compact one bcos of my dwindling bank account and a stretched-thin budget.
also got another of Lynsay Sands vampire books in the Argeneau series! WHEE! i soooo love BORDERS for their membership and 30% off coupons. keke...

and my latest realisation: im really quite happy to settle for a bowl of fresh strawberries with a large cup of condense milk for heavy dipping, and a hot cup of milk tea. HEAVEN! although i have a feeling this new habit sounds a bit grandma-ish. hmm...

*special note to weiqi*
WEIQI!!!! the photos from super long ago! can upload please!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D
thanks!

also, i've been wanting lotsa songs so please send me if you have! :)
songs by:
- madonna
- mariah carey
- maroon 5
- miley cyrus
- jonas brothers
- leona lewis
- danity kane
- girls aloud

thx pple! :D

the most recent movie that i have watched so far is 2 faces of my girlfriend; which i REALLY recommend to everyone who likes a good romance movie but not one made of all flowers, rainbows and sweet kisses. this movie has comedy/romance/depth all rolled into one. i went with Rochelle after the Japanese high school visit and she got a free special screening for 2. but i really wouldn't mind spending $7 to go watch this movie without the free tix. so go and watch this movie!its a korean movie by the way and the lead actress is an actress that i like for her acting and character (she's one of the main leads for by the way). so far all the movies and acting that i have seen by her are quite good.

and i was just searching for the website and synopsis for <2> so went to see the movies now showing and coming soon and it seems the list of movies i wanna catch is growing! i can see that dent in my wallet already...

so here's the list:
1. JUNO ----> which to me is kinda a "must watch" since it got so many rave reviews and awards and everything.

2. The Leap Years ----> i really wanna catch this movie ever sincei caught the trailer...it seems intriguing and interesting so its a yes.

3. L: change the world ----> not sure about this one but if any of my friends wanna watch and im in the mood then maybe.

4. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Lost Skull ----> yes yes yes! im soooo a fan of the Indiana Jones series all thanks to my dad. and of course i dont mind watching for Shia Lebeouf either...

5. Sex and the City ----> not really sure about this either since im really not a fan of the cast at all but i have watched a few episodes of the series and it might be a nice change. of course no chance if the rating is R21...

6. Becoming Jane ----> ok so this is a movie that i wanted to catch but i already watched it somewhere else and the ending is not a happy (meaning couples dont get together or one of them dies or whatever) one so boo! no im not gg to catch it since im really all for happy endings!

7. Sky of Love ----> this is a Japanese movie but the movie poster caught my eye...haha. and some reviews given were good with like 4/5 so im really intrigued...

8. 27 dresses ----> ok so this is a movie that i already watched with Josephine quite long ago and i quite loved this movie and i dont understand why it didnt do that for some other pple...

9. Away from her ----> the plot really seems touching and everything so...

10. August Rush ----> quite interested in this one...story seems nice enough so i hope it doesnt suck if i really do watch it.

11. Step Up 2 : The Streets ----> haha ok sometimes even though the plot might suck or the acting is deplorable i like to watch it for the dance sequences and everything...so prolly might catch this.

12. Awake ----> wanted to catch this cos i quite like the cast but after reading the synopsis im quite sure i wont be watching this movie because to me its downright creepy! what with being awake during an operation and whatnot...same reason why i dont watch horror movies.

13. Things we lost in the Fire ----> dont mind catching this for the plot...seems interesting too.

14. Crows zero ----> looks cool! and i dont mind catching Oguri Shun on the big screen...and its a Japanese movie so its a plus for me.

ok so more than 10 movies to attempt to watch is really quite difficult seeing as most of the time i really can't find the right time to schedule properly with friends with our individual timetables are so haywire and keep clashing. and some movies im interested in which my friends refuse to accompany me (e.g. MELISSA LIM, although she has dragged me to some movies were downright atrocious before...).

anyways my friend's friend actually catches movies by herself sometimes so im thinking maybe i should make this a practice for myself too...saves quite alot of trouble really though it may seem weird when you're in the movie theatre by yourself. seems rather sad to a certain extent...haha. date me if you wanna catch some of the movies!

2008-02-15T21:10:00.003+08:00

TADA!
in order to pacify my exam syndrome, i decided to put up a wishlist - myredstocking (under foodlinks), i also updated my other webbie links. :)

POA is over and done with! WHEEE! and i'm getting really sick of business law...don't feel like starting on bmgt and i'll have sunk even deeper into my holiday mood when the time comes for maec paper.

20 random points in my life recently:

1. i've been having continuous craving for tea lately...greentea/lipton tea/bailey's green tea/iced tea/greentea selection from starbucks/my meiji greentea icecream!/blah blah blah...

2. i'm already in a holiday mood but reality is screwing up frequency in my happy radar.

3. i ALWAYS get the shaky rickety tables for exams and i swear i'll get motion sickness if i get stuck with another one.

4. i'm REALLY craving for shopping lately too...been constantly refreshing my spree page to look for new sprees that catch my eye.

5. wanting to play mahjong really badly! but exams are screwing up my new year gambling plans.

6. have been watching D. Gray Man - latest episode 70. was the latest episode cool or what!!!!! OOSH! i watched it 3 times...but i hate having to wait for the next episode to be uploaded and i get left hanging since this is still an incomplete series. grrr...

7. have also been watching almost all episodes of LoveLetter! (season 2-3 only...to me 1 kinda sucks) this show is such a riot i think i fell out of my chair laughing...of course i try to watch all SJ episodes first but many other korean artiste are becoming increasingly appealing!

8. something at the back of my brain is telling me to get my butt to Phoon Huat to get new ingredients because i went to Mingxuan's house for a new yr visit and got a pizza recipe from his mom which i MUST try. (i'm coming for you...my dry yeast!)

9. also have found a new exciting webbie recently (Zu's kitchen - foodlinks on the left) where i see lotsa potential experiments.

10. i want a pantry of my own when i get my own house to store all my spices/baking tools/bags of flour..etc. i watched an episode of Nigella once on travel&living and she had like this utility room just for all her cooking stuff and i drooled in front of my tv.

11. i feel like changing blogskins but im just tooooooooooo lazy...

12. i wanna catch all the movies which i said i would...incidentaly 27 dresses rock! and i'm impatiently waiting for the latest installment of Indiana Jones! (shia lebouf!!!)

13. i can't decide whether i wanna get a job for the hols or not...or for how long because money does not grow on trees and i don't eat air. plus i have to finance my shopping and start saving for my SUPERSHOW tix.

14. i can't wait to go to the Japanese High School!!!!! whee!! i'll try to remember to take pics...

15. also can't wait to go on to 103 next semester. i wish i get Chishiho Sensei again...she's a riot. although my friends are dropping out from the class like fleas which is really depressing. i MUST go on to the advanced levels...

16. just confirmed something recently (and not in an endearing way): stupid bitches will be stupid bitches forever and i will never forgive those crazy cows.

17. just realised something: some friends will use you; and i'm sooo silly for getting bitten by the backstabbing bug time and again.

18. my dog looks at me with a weary eye because i can't stop bugging her. and my sis just bought this doggytank from Daiso for her and she's just toooooo cute for words. ah...my spoilt little princess!

19. coffee is not working for me again. there was a short period of time where caffeine could give me a little boost but i guess i was wrong.

20. i think i have some sorta obssessive disorder when it comes to things that i really like...then it becomes more like an addiction. which is a really bad habit like knuckle cracking...you just can't stop!

2008-02-14T12:06:00.006+08:00

update: concert for Singapore is NOT confirmed and i think chances are really slim since the concert has already kicked off and sistic has so records of a SJ concert gg to happen.

WHEEEE!!!!!

Big News! Big News!

Super Junior MIGHT be having their 1st Asia tour!

Some of their destinations:

Super Junior 1st Asia Tour Concert Schedule

1. Bangkok, Thailand -- April 2008 (Impact Arena)

2. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia -- May 2008 (World Expo Arena)

3. Singapore -- May 2008 (Singapore Indoor Stadium)

4. Taipei, Taiwan -- August 2008 (Taipei Arena)

5. Beijing, China -- August 2008 (venue unknown)

6. Shanghai, China -- September 2008 (Shanghai Dae Stage)

7. Hong Kong -- October 2008 (venue unknown)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! i cannot take it...soooooooo excited! i hope they confirm quickly that their coming because i'm going to try saving money for the concert.

Weiqi asked me that day if i would get the more expensive tickets and i really dont know the answer to that because no matter what i think i'm quite a stingy person BUT on the other hand it's like a dream come true so if i dont get the best experience that i can have then what's the point.

so my wish is that their tix are at a reasonable price...i think if i dont get to go to the concert i could just sicken and waste away into nothingness!

my goal is to work this holiday to finance this wonderful concert! WHEEE!!!!!!!

to gab: hey! updated the foodlinks! :D

2008-02-07T05:33:00.000+08:00

did some catching up with Chengwei today and it was FUN!

haven't had a serious talk in quite a long while so the conversation was definitely worth it. we always call each other but no issues are really talked over. but he loves to tell me "Sheryl! My life SUCKS!"

it felt really nice to talk and discuss about stuff. the army has stolen my close guy friends!!!!
grrr...aaron and chengwei are always stuck doing something in camp or i'm stuck doing some project or having to study for exams.

we also talked about old times...we've known each other for 5 yrs coming 6yrs! amazing if you ask me...

i wanna meet up with both of them soon!!!!! after exams i promise!

2008-02-06T03:53:00.000+08:00

so my dilemma is how to rank my favourite SUJU people...

fighting for 1st place: teukie & heechul

2nd: ryeowook+sungmin+hankyung

3rd (and upcoming 'likes'): kyuhyun

these are my favourites out of 13 people.

ah!!!!! everyone's favourite maknae...melikes!!!!!

anyways copied this from weiqi's blog again; got her permission! :D

KIM RYEO WOOK!!!

hahahaha. i swear he's so cute la.

his hair determines his attractive level.he can look extremely terrible.but can also look extremely cute.but most importantly,without considering his hair,

HE IS CUTE. hahaha.his personality is cute la... nerdy+blur.sometimes i just wonder how can nerd and blur come together.

it's like putting the brainiest with the sotong-est. so ironic!

love ryeowook during HaengBok period and Marry You period ((:he so needs light brown or brown hair!!definitelt absolutely unhate-able!!!!

he's "ryeo-woo-kee-mee-da!!!"everyone needs more of ryeowook to understand why he's so loved and protected by all 12 of them...the older ones and also the younger ones [kyuhyun & kibum]he just...

gives people the little boy feeling.must protect him as though anything can break him.lols.

*though he claims that donghae makes him [wook] want to protect him [hae]*despite having the most number of earholes *lol*despite being the scholardespite being crowned the "best drinker"despite being the pro-est pianisthe'll be our blur and innocent boy forever!!

he's the eternal maknae...in our hearts!!!

especially the sapphire blue color-ed hearts...

-end-

2008-02-06T03:45:00.000+08:00

so got this from weiqi's blog; and since i like everything she says i'm not going to change anything! :D

"officially" KangTeuk couple: KangIn + LeeTeuk.my favourite couple.

"started" since before debut...for example... kangin's always getting drunk outside...

when he's drunk, he gives his friends everything he has...what coat la... jacket la... money la...

so he ends up having no money to pay for the drinks...then he'll call teuk...

"hyung, i have no money now... can you come and pick me up?"

then my dearest teukie will take kangin's coat and will drive to wherever kangin is then drag him back to hostel

*we all know how heavy kangin is and we all know how weak and skinny teukie is...*

hmms... maybe i shall list a few issues...

issue #01: there was once when SJ was supposed to go on a movie date together. but teuk was feeling kinda down that day so kangin went elsewhere with him. kangin drove. and they went to MyongDong. they got caught by fans. LOL.

then their manager couldnt find them i think. so he called kangin. but they didnt pick up. so the manager left a message and asked them to hurry go back. hahaha. then kangin said this on his radio. "yea i went on a date with teukie-hyung. just the two of us. we went to myongdong. havent gone out on a date with him for very long. it was nice." *awwwwwww*

issue #02: before debut, they'll always hang out late until next morning and then catch the first bus back to hostel. just the two of them.issue

#03: when SJ went around in the SJ bus, teuk wanted to sit somewhere in front. then kangin dragged him to the last seat and asked him to sit inside there cos it's less cold. then kangin sat next to him.*awwwwwwwwww*

issue #04: there was once when SJ was eating in a restaurant. then kangin left first. and the weather suddenly turned cold that day. then fans realized that teuk walked out, wearing a coat that kangin was wearing before he left.*ahhhhhhhhhhhh*

issue #05: on valentine's day 2007, kangin called yesung who was in the hostel, during his radio show. then yesung was saying that no one's home. and kangin just kept asking "where's teukie-hyung??" then yesung couldnt take it and just said "i dont know either!!!!!"

issue #06: SJ was eating somewhere. then teuk started to clean up the place and kangin was like "why are you the one doing this?! i'll clear them up..."

issue #07: after the april 2007 accident, kangin visited teuk at the hospital. teuk sat in a wheelchair and kangin pushed the wheelchair and "ran around" the hospital with teuk. kangin said this on radio.

issue #08: after teuk was discharged, he resumed dj-ing. he was still staying at home so his mum came to pick him up. but he wanted to wait for their manager to come pick eunhyuk up first then go. and the manager turned up, with kangin. fans said that kangin practically flew out of the car and ran straight to teuk then hugged him. lols.

issue #09: before debut, teuk's mum went to visit him at the company. kangin saw her and told her that teuk was busy. he called her "mother-in-law" and teuk's mum called him "son-in-law". =.= teuk's mum is interesting huh.

issue #10: after a performance on MCountDown during "don't don" period, kangin went to teuk and grabbed his hand then dragged him off stage. but teuk shook his hand away. LOL.

poor kangin. teuk was smiling throughout la. he shook his hand away on purpose. lols. to piss kangin off. damn paiseh la.

in front of such a large number of fans and audience.- argh. i reallie dont wanna stop here. but at this rate, it's never gonna end. too many issues le.

-i have alot of other evidences in this blog so if you slowly dig out, you'll find some kangteuk stories.they get reallie sweet.kangin helps teukie alot alot cos teuk's the leader but there're 13 people to deal with so it's a tough job and he's always sick and coughing.so teuk uses the soft way to deal with membersand kangin uses violence.

lols.like appa and omma!!!cuteness.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"affairs"

-LeeTeuk and...HeeChul - the "83 line" couple.

both born in 1983. just difference of 9 days ((: both are cancerians. but totally different. they'll believe it's due to blood type. teuk is A blood and heechul is AB blood. they currently share a room and teuk likes white, heechul likes red. so the room is half white and half red. lols.

the biggest "83 line" issue is Super Junior - T's "Rokkugo" MV. heechul acted as a girl and teuk acted as a guy...

teuk "likes" chul and then there was this fake kissing scene and stuff. lols.

(sheryl butts in: i want HANCHUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

HanKyung - nameless. lols. not much of it. there's teuk+kyung usually when they're in mandarin-speaking countries. cos teuk's the leader and he says the most stuff but kyung would have to take over this role when in mandarin-speaking countries cos teuk cant speak mandarin. so kyung will either say the stuff or help teuk translate. therefore alot of communication via whispering.

YeSung - lols. yesung the skinshipper. hahas. same thing happens on everyone ba!! the latest issue is at taiwan airport... beginning of january. they were at the customs and queuing. then yesung kinda leaned on him. it looks as though he was kissing teuk's jacket's hood.KangIn - (refer to top)ShinDong - hmms nothing much.

SungMin - sungmin said that he relies on teuk alot and he wonders if teuk realized. (actually i believe everyone trusts, follows, and relies on teuk) sungmin has been sticking to teuk alot ever since "HaengBok" period.

EunHyuk - currently quite popular, "EunTeuk" couple. cos they dj together and they host MCountDown together. it was actually kangin and teuk hosting but hyuk took over kangin. so basically EunTeuk spends alot of time together. therefore there's EunTeuk. and of course, quite a fair bit of EunTeuk action.

DongHae - though most of them in SJ knew each other for around 8 years already [on the average], donghae+teuk is special cos they almost debut-ed together as a group called "OK". so there was a period when they spent alot of time training together. but the plan was called off so the group basically "died".

SiWon - ahhh. siwon sticks to everybody please. lols. he's so "oily". sucks up to everyone. hahaha. *wq: maaaaaaaaaaa*

(sheryl butts in again: i want RYEOWOOK+SUNGMIN+KYUHYUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

RyeoWook - they used to share a room, back at the old hostel. before kyuhyun was a member of SJ, it was just wookie and teuk in the room. wook was the youngest [aka "maknae", together with kibum] and teuk was the leader cum oldest.

so obviously, teuk will reallie pay special attention to him and reallie look after him alot alot. so wook grew close to teuk. and now that they've moved to a new hostel, room-mates changed too. teuk stays on the 12th storey while wook stays on the 11th storey.

everyday, wookie would go back to the hostel, put his stuff, then hurry to the hostel upstairs and look for teuk. there was once when teuk was reallie damn sian-ded from seeing wook hang around in the 12th storey hostel everytime. then teuk was like "why are you here AGAIN?!?!" and wook was like "ahh... hyung, i miss you!!!" and he started aegyo-ing [aegyo = 撒娇].

teuk said this in the relay talk that can be found in "Don't Don" repackaged version's DVD. teuk said that he and wook has an age gap of 4 years. and wook is someone who actually keeps alot of things to himself. so when one day, wook started to chat with teuk and tell him stuff, teuk was reallie happy.

it's like, wookie treats teuk as a friend and trusts him so he tells him things that he doesnt reallie say.KiBum - damn difficult to find kibum+teuk stuff la. kibum is not someone who'll display love and concern for his members. teuk says that kibum is like a father sometimes. lols. cos of his behaviour and stuff i think. a reallie matured boy.

KyuHyun - our real maknae [if according to birth dates]. because kyuhyun only joined SJ 7 months after SJ debut-ed, he was a special existence. they had to make him adapt to this environment and of course, as a leader, teuk played a big role in this. teuk did a fake kiss on kyuhyun during the radio show...

and he held kyu's hand when they were walking onstage during one of the InKiGaYo episode's introduction. the latest issue is 27 january's body exploration [aka exploring the human body]. half of SJ were supposed to shop for stuff in the supermarket but teuk's group ended up eating all the food that were meant for customers to try. everytime before teuk ate, he would feed kyuhyun before taking another one for himself.

in a KTR [Super Junior's Kiss The Radio aka SuKiRa; dj-teuk&hyuk] episode not long ago, kyuhyun wanted to cover maybe some scars or something on his face so teuk lent him his erm... scarf? to "wrap" his face. lols. then before kyu left, he returned him by...... wrapping it back around teuk's neck and then he just kept hugging teuk. i think he misses KTR alot alot.

it was the first time he went back to KTR after the accident. at the scene of the accident, teuk was the 2nd badly injured. kyu was the worst. but as they wheel-ed teuk to the ambulance, teuk was still shouting "kyuhyun-ah..." he was reallie worried cos he knew that kyuhyun was in a worst condition than him. though teuk's voice was reallie faint, i/we heard that.

the bane of my life.

i know i haven't been updating my blog for a very long time, but the thing is sometimes there's too many trivial details that has to be said but im lazy and those who should know already know so no updates.

friendships is the word lately. funny how such a simple word brings complicated shit to a person's life. amazing if you ask me. and nowadays i think life is depressing enough that after experiencing it, i wouldn't wanna relive it by typing it into an entry here. i would rather rant with rude gestures and dissatisfied expressions to another person face to face.

however, i finally bought a cookbook so that's worth something at least.

i went to Borders that day with Mellie and managed to buy "Betty Crocker: Cookbook New Edition". it has recipes from salads to stews to steaks and desserts. fantastic!

the problem with alcohol & insanity

2007-12-15T03:28:00.000+08:00

last night was just a slack day with me sleeping most of it away then sticking myself in front of the computer.

and i was looking for a nice drink but it was all sodas and what nots.

then i eyed my dear Bailey's.

i may have been in a good mood or something so i treated myself to more than my usual intake and VIOLA!

this morning i woke up with a rash on my left thigh. at first it was still okay, just a lumpy patch that was non-itch. but rather ghastly to look at. so i wore jeans to meet weiqi...

then when i got home i took a look at it and it was slightly red. BUTTTT still non-itch, which is more or less fine with me.

then it became itchy, which then induced me to churn out this post (note: i am scratching as i type) to complain about my pathetic weakness; allergy to alcohol. total bummerrr..

hmphs.

incidentally my newly addictive word is 'induced'.

which i extracted from my business law lecture notes. it is such a LOVELY word really...

misrepresentation is a false statement of fact that is made before a contract which INDUCED a party/person to enter into a contract.

wonderful...simply wonderful!!!

P.S. the itchiness of the rash prompted me for this post. i do not hold responsibility for the insane/dull/negative statements made in this post. the red throbbing itchy patch on my thigh is to blame.

i got my mom to move an extra table into the balcony so its where i spend most of time staring blankly at my lecture notes and tutorial questions and reflect on my dull wit and low intelligence.

this advert is such a riot; really innovative and definitely captured the audience's (namely me) attention and fulfilled its objective by making the viewer (namely me) want to purchase the product advertised.

2007-11-21T22:01:00.000+08:00

so the day before i got attacked by a religion terrorist when i was innocently sitting in the canteen of my school minding my own business and studying for my blaw test when some girl a little older than me(who did all the bullshitting), with an older woman (im guessing 40) and a small girl (im guessing 12?) approached me.

im gonna type out the whole convo cos it pissed me off so much i have to rant to anyone who bothers to read my posts;

"Hi! are you a ngee ann student?"

"yea i am"

"in what course"

"business"

"oh do you know anything about christianity?"

-i knew from here she was the religion terrorist (looks at Weiqi...)-

"erm yea im a catholic" -okay pple who know me know that my 'religion' is in name only-

"So do you know where you'll go after you die?" -hmmm...my first thought was WTF?????? then...who cares and who can really tell anyways-

"i dont know..." -although i wanted to say WTF cares?!-

"oh! so you go to church?"

"No"

"oh okay..what church did you go to"

"...XXXXXX" -i told her the name of my church-

"oh ok..do you remember whats in the bible?"

"No"

"do you read the bible?"

"No"

-note that im trying to be polite here; even with my monosyllabic reponses-

"do you remember that God died for us?"

"hmm...."

"I remember a quote from the bible..."

-she mentioned the quote and started taking her bible out of her bag-

[at this point im filled with irritation up to my nostrils but still forcing a smile]

-the crazy 40 yr old woman is looking at the younger girl with a look of total adoration...smiling and almost with a look of approval...again WTF????-

[im actually surprised smoke did not come out of my ears or flames shooting from my eyeballs]

"God actually died for us....for our sins"

"hmm..."

-i mean a person with a high tolerance level would be steaming at this point but since i am a generally temprementa person guess how much i swear my face was going to explode-

"I'm not interested so i'd prefer if you didn't talk to me."

so anyways i hate pple who treat/talk to me in a patronising way and guess how our devout christian acts? the vibe that i got what "you poor souls...all of you are going to all the way down after you die and you don't even know it"

after i said that she walked away soon after but not before she said "just remember that God died for us"

well to hell with your bullshit and by the way you shove your self-righteousness up your own ass.

i have nothing against people who really believe in their religion but keep it to yourself and never breathe a word to me.

because i can't stand people who preach and act like they know the reason why the world is the way it is. and that their choice is the only right choice there ever was.

well you know what...FUCK YOU!

Tried out a new cookie recipe today i got from the net, just normal Chocolate Chip Cookie.

This is the mixture i got: its was really sticky although not as stiff as compared to the Betty Crocker ones.

The batter when just popped into the oven: i have a tendency to spoon really big lumps onto the baking tray. so i get really big cookies too.

Cookies when they are almost ready: not burnt at the edges or anything! Achievement!

Cookie Galore!

I was aiming for cookies with soft centers; so i baked with less time. Worked!

But i ran out of butter to grease the baking tray with so i ended up with cookies missing bottoms because they are still stuck to the tray.

But overall it was a success! i got soft centres (although the first batch turned out crunchy), the sweetness was just right.

YUMM!!

We're Young & Beautiful

While we're young and beautiful,
Kiss me like you mean it,
Treat me like I'm special,
Cover me with sweetness, Cause a time will come,
When we're not so young, and beautiful,

While we're young and beautiful,
Living free and easy,
Here without a worry,
Dancing in our bare feet,
Cause when the summer's done,
We might not be so young, and beautiful.

CHORUS:
It's a crazy, ride,
And baby, you and I,
Are keepin' our sweet love alive.
Tonight, while we're young and beautiful.
While we're young and beautiful,
We'll party down on Main street,
Wearing next to nothing,
Feeling every heart beat,
Having fun,
While we're still young and beautiful.

CHORUS:
It's a crazy, ride,
And baby, you and I,
Are keepin' our sweet love alive,
Tonight, while we're young and beautiful.
Beautiful, Beautiful,
Young and beautiful,
uh-ohhBeautiful,
Beautiful, Young and beautiful.

CHORUS:
ohh It's a crazy, ride,
And baby, you and I,
Keeping our sweet love alive,
Tonight, while we're young and beautiful.
Oh, so beautiful.
While we're young and beautiful,
Cover me with sweetness,
While we're young and beautiful,
Kiss me like you mean it,
Like you mean it,
Like you mean it,
Like you mean it,
Like you do,
Oh, yeah,
Oh so beautiful.

i am sooooo suffering from first-day-back-to-school syndrome.

and its so severe its not even the least bit funny.

had to wake up at 7am today, which i haven't done for 6 weeks. and my alarm clock was screwed but luckily my mom woke me up.

at least i got a seat today on the bus though.

am going to have to buy textbooks and notes = spending more $$$ than i have.

MISERY!

anyways i'm hoping to meet ally on the 74bus soon since we take the same bus and her school is just beside mine. *grins*

oh! talking about transport...$52 gone to pay for bus concession, for some reason saying that just caused my heart to have a hole.

hmmm...no kidding.

I WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MUST! MUST! MUST! MUST!

2007-10-12T17:57:00.001+08:00

SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i knew i was freaking jinxing myself!!!!

SHIT!!!! SHIT!!!!!!! SHIT!!!!!!!!!

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they're back. there goes my peace and quiet.
the F word is practically kissing my lips.

life as it is

2007-10-12T17:26:00.000+08:00

so my sis is preparing for Os this year so she went for open house for JCs and she told me what happened when she went to CJ and met our childhood friend...

so other than the amusement that the story gave me, it also made me feel really old.
in the sense that i feel i've been through too much in my life.
but i guess thats the part and parcel of life.

on the other hand i've been experiencing a lot of peace recently since my cousins and aunt are on a holiday in vietnam for a week. i can now laze where i want, eat where i want, wear what i want and do whatever the hell i want. which i feel i haven't had the chance to do in a REALLY long time, which it is...9 1/2 months to be exact.

i can't wait to get my own room and stuff back so i'll get the privacy i need and desperately want.

in truth i feel like i've been a prisoner in my own home. and i don't even have a room of my own now so that's not even worth mentioning.

all i can say is that i hope peace and quiet will be given to me soon before i finally reach my boiling point and shout "**** you'll" rightin everyone's face.

Expensive Experience

2007-10-07T01:32:00.000+08:00

tried the iced latte from Mccafe today because my mom ordered the wtrong item and decided that i really don't like it. definitely not my taste.

its too sweet and too bitter at the same time. and the sweetness really chafes my throat as well so i'd really rather stick to my coffee based vanilla frappe. i knew the taste was totally different from the frappe i usually drink and the colour was off too. what a waste...i was really craving for a nice fix of caffeine.

anyways baked the bailey's cheesecake today; haven't really tried it yet since i was waiting for the cake and stuff to cool and fell asleep instead.

and i told myself i was going to take pictures of the steps and ingredients and everything but i was so excited about mixing and everything that i forgot. HAHA!

these are the few pics that i managed to take;

so the batter was a little bit watery but what can i say...i'm still an amateur so i just went with it. though i mixed some of my previously baked chocolate chips with the oreo cookies.

tadah! bailey's irish cream! the recipe asked for quite a lot of it actually. about 1 cup, the taste came out quite strong in the end which i didn't really like.

also the recipe was meant for a bigger baking tin and everything so i ended up with quite a lot of extra batter.

decided to make it into tiny cupcakes with lotsa extra chocolate chips; which my sis says taste quite nice but i really don't know whether to trust her because i think she might be saying that so my feelings don't get hurt. haha.

my cupcakes!!! this one was the best looking of the lot and the others look a bit squished together, haha.

the end product! i wrapped it in aluminium foil since i decided to refridgerate for 1 day first.

conclusion: okay so my conclusion is that i'm only going to try this recipe once and that's it because the ingredients are just too expensive and unless i'm planning to sell it i really will be broke after a while.

and i hate the washing up! gosh there were so many things to wash up after the whole thing that i was a little put off and took away the satisfaction of the whole process anyway.

but all in all i guess the experience is ok. i shall move on to other conquests soon!

upped level of difficulty

2007-09-29T02:42:00.001+08:00

i'm really free at home now so i thought i would really like to try recipes that are more complicated. therefore, a trip to the supermart is crucial although i havent done it yet but will...definitely.

for gab: the recipe for Bailey's Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

the name of the cake alone will make you drool,it sounds soooo tasty all by itself.

Bailey’s Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cheese Cake

Crust

1/2 cup toasted pecans, cooled and crushed (i'll prob use really crumbled and crushed chocolate chips which i can spare and i don't like pecans)
2 cups chocolate Oreo cookie crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons melted butter

Filling

2 1/4 lbs cream cheese, at room temp (i loooove Philadelphia brand cream cheese)
1 2/3 cups sugar
5 eggs, at room temp
1 cup Bailey's original Irish cream (i have a whole bottle which i bought before knowing i'm allergic to alcohol - total bummer by the way)
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Coffee Cream Topping

1 cup chilled whipping cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
-chocolate curls or Skor English toffee bits, for decoration on top

Method

1. Make crust: Preheat oven to 325°. Mix all ingredients. Press into a 10" spring form pan and up the sides one inch. Bake for 7-10 minute.

2. Make filling: beat cream cheese with electric mixer until smooth.

3. Beat sugar in gradually, and then add eggs one at a time. Blend in Bailey's and vanilla.

4. Sprinkle half of chocolate chips over crust.

5. Spoon in filling. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.

6. Bake at 325° approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes or until puffed, springy in center and golden brown. Place a pan of water on bottom rack of oven while baking to keep it moist.

7. Cool cake completely.

8. Coffee Cream Topping: beat all ingredients and spread over cooled cake.

9. Top with chocolate curls or Skor bits.

* Note* Make ahead: be sure to make and refrigerate at least one day before serving.

Disclaimer: I don't own this recipe; it was provided by someone on the net.

YUMMYLICIOUS! i love Bailey's Irish Cream; love chocolate; love cheesecake. what's not to like about this recipe.

i love desserts! and in case you didn't know my favourite cake is tiramisu so you know what to get me when it's my birthday! HAHAHA! *wink wink*

Gab: when you wanna go with me to Borders? i fell aslp after talking to you on the day i said i would go...haha. my voucher ends on 4th Oct 2007. text me if you wanna go!

Silin: let's go grocery shopping for cake baking ingredients!

domestic experiments

2007-09-28T04:11:00.000+08:00

okay so i really planned on popping by Borders today but i fell asleep and woke up at 6pm...

*whacks self repeatedly on the head*

anyways will try to pop by borders tomorrow after my cca camp if i'm not dead tired (because i am still not sleeping at this hour) or carrying too much stuff.

so i got hungry at 4.15am (which is now) and decided to try out the recipe for buttermilk pancakes which i have been craving for.

it tastes great! am eating it now with maple syrup (which is steadily depleting as i love making french toast too) and bacon bits. sweet and salty all at the same time!although i'm told the combination is really really weird. but what can i say...i have unique tastes.

YUMMMMMMMM!!!!!!

although with my amateur skills my pancakes look seriously deformed...

here is the recipe for those who wants to try:

1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 cup flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

i don't have buttermilk so i used milk and butter which is totally different from buttermilk but i just have to make do with what i have.

i got this recipe from The Baker's Index

she's got quite a lot of recipes and like all the cooking websites its so nice to browse and look at the tasty pictures.

i'm also thinking of making a trip to a supermart to stock up on some baking items but once again i can't seem to bring myself to get out of the house.

i'm really one of the laziest people you'll ever see on this earth.

really.

Double Chocolate Chunk

2007-09-26T02:51:00.000+08:00

so i've really been in the mood to bake lately but i dont have time to go buy ingredients and stuff so i just use betty crocker's ready-mix. i would really prefer to get a different brand from betty crockers soon though.

anyways this is the 2nd time im using betty crockers. the first time was normal chocolate chip cookies where the 1st 2 batches (3 in total) were mostly burnt and i threw most of it away.

this 2nd time was successful for all batches though. they look great! quite satisfied with the result.

anyway i've been researching for various recipes for cakes,cookies and such. and coincidentally borders is offering a 30% coupon for cooking so i'll definitely be popping by borders soon once i decide to lift my lazy arse away from home.

to gab/silin: we should get together to do a baking and cooking fest thing! really! and we wont use ready made stuff. all natural and original ingredients from the recipe. :D

KBS.MusicBank-Super Junior Come Back- Don't Don (LIVE)

2007-09-24T08:15:00.001+08:00

oh my god!! this is really a relatively clear version of the live performance by superjunior on musicbank in korea.

anyways the point of this entry is to announce that i watched this performance on cable (ch100) on the kbs channel. NOTHING beats watching it on tv with the clarity (unless i'm a member of the audience of course). and i have quite a big screen at home and the effects are great!

was msging weiqi before and during the whole thing because we were both keeping my eyes on the tv.

i was actually on my com then weiqi said she'd go check ch100 for musicbank and there really was superjunior's performance! it was great great great!

although there were some freaks performing before and after sj;although any performance after sj's WOULD be anti-climatic.

the audience obviously only screamed when sj was on and of course waving their blue balloons like crazy...

tidbit:

current hot faves: heechul(plain sexy)/teukie(exposed manly chest;haha)/hankyung(check out 1.17 on video)

reason: because they're HOT! duh!

i really really really like the move when they end the song (the bowing thingy) and i always rewind and watch it like a million times.

superjunior's part ended too fast! encore encore! and there's no repeat in the next few days.

coincidentally, i'm watching the video as i type this post.haha talk about multi-tasking! (weiqi would approve!)

anyways; am uploading sj videos like crazy nowadays. have a feeling that i'd pay more attention to the videos than what im posting though.

finally; get your daily fix of sj here!!

okay i will dedicate this post to WEIQI who rocks! and is my fellow junkie!

Super Junior Don't Don MV

2007-09-22T15:49:00.001+08:00

HOT! HOT! HOT!

love the new song and the mv with the dance moves and everything. OOSH!

ok now is time to talk about the new dos they have:

1. heechul: sexy.thats all i need to say.

2. teukie: his hairstyle is really starting to grow on me. (to weiqi: see, it took only 2 more photos like i said). anyways he is more man now! i like both sides of him still. :D

3. kangin: oh my poor kangin! i think his hair(or the lack thereof) is too fierce for his personality and everything. he used to be a teddybear!

4. hankyung: hot.thats all i have to say about him.haha.

5. ryeowook: oh! me likes! he looks gangsterish but it looks good on him.makes him look more man too.i like both sides of him too!

6. sungmin: ok i think his hair suits him but his act cute personality is still there so it is really funny at times.but i think the style suits him too.

7. eunhyuk: i think he looks about the same.but i think his hair colour is nice.

8. donghae: he looks around the same too. so nothing much to say about that.

9. kibum: i think his hair is nice and suits him. he looks good overall but whats up with him looking constipated on photos and stuff? that look is not hot at all.

10. yesung: he look good too.not much change to his look though.

11. kyuhyun: i think i'm still getting used to him. anyways other than his hair colour changing there's not much change to his image.

12. siwon: i think his hair should be shorter.long hair makes him look more sleazy.haha. and his abs a re so weird.like there are weird pieces of muscles next to the normal 6pack.hmm...

13. shindong: ok. him i dont like but his hair is similar to kangin's.

and thats all 13 pple in superjunior!

ROCK ON!

Super Junior-T - Rock on!!! (RoKkuGeo! MV)

2007-09-22T05:10:00.001+08:00

okay this is another piece of evidence of my slowness(as dubbed by weiqi).

i think this mv is sooo cute! everyone was cute esp my beloved tuekie and heechul(and of course excluding shindong).

the title of the song is rokkugo by superjunior t.

me likes.

anyways next few posts will most likely be all about superjunior and esp their second album.

whoots!

SUPER JUNIOR FEVER!

2007-09-21T22:10:00.000+08:00

SUPER JUNIOR FEVER!!!

their second album is out!!! and i only got really hyped when it was released. (weiqi is scoffing at my slowness)

and and and she's getting the wonderful album for me for my birthday!! wheeeeeeeeeee!! i just can't wait so i asked her to fast forward and get it early for me. the songs are superb!

and i've been trying to make the songs as my background music for the blog but sad to say my technical skills are plain lousy...(anyone knows how? help please!)

so i'm really psyched about the whole thing. and i wanna get the dvd for the movie by SJ too! heechul looks sexy in it(yun please agree with me!); ryeowookie looks nerdly cute too!

eh...who else? oh! although teukie is only the panda, he's cute prancing around too! kibum looks not bad too(weiqi is biased against him+silin <3 him).

all in all i'm wriggling with impatience for the album to arrive and as always weiqi is my brilliant informant!

p.s. silin!! tell me when you're online and i'll send you sjstuff!

this video will make you rolling on the floor if you understand the humour. i laughed till my sis scolded me and drove me out of the room.

gab showed me this...its funny in a mobid way.

love shia lebouf and the song is catchyy!

just a day in the life

2007-09-12T19:31:00.000+08:00

baked cookies today or actually attempted to. only the 3rd bath seemed safe enough to eat while the others have black coal for surface sprinkles.

the only reason i'm even typing this entry is bcos im really bored.

lke really bored.

i'm not happy rotting at home and i'm not really happy at the thought of getting up at 6am everday to get ready to work. i have a loser's life. or better yet...no life (like i keep telling everyone).

anyways spammed today with the silly 'you've won yourself 1.5mils'.

met silin and weiqi on mon and we went to kbox. i do not like kbox or karaoke but it was nice to just meet up and talk after not having met for such a long time, i had a good time. then went to coffee bean to get some caffeine and was served by this irritating service person who was trying to act funny by multiplying our every order by 2. this behaviour does not appeal to ANY customer but irritates them instead.

oh! and i got a B+ for my japanese class. and to weiqi who got an AD for her korean (hmph): i want SJ's 2nd album!!!!!

going to meet gab and smellie tomorrow at national library so gab can study and we can pretend that she's studying when she's not and chat and play cards (i already put them in my bag so i won't forget)and chat somemore.

going to bring my cookies tomorrow for them to eat but i will not take responsibility if they have to get MCs for food poisoning. will however take pride if they tell me its edible. -big smiles-

ja! matta!

dirty old men...WAY!

2007-09-04T23:47:00.001+08:00

i'm steadily rotting away at home with nothing to do in the holidays and my mood is half slack, a quarter wanting to work and a quarter wanting to shop my heart out.

but i don't have income therefore output is a definite no-no at this stage.

so the most interesting that i have witnessed recently is this:

i was at cuppage plaza with my parents at this small japanese restaurant (i conned my parents into treating me to dinner and a bag of famous amos cookies since im dirt poor) and this restaurant is quite authentic with many japanese regulars.

so at the corner of the place there is a book stand with comics, magazines, newspapers and such as reading material for the customers and then my mom piped in by saying "the magazines there have porn or something you know..."

and i was like "NO WAY! really???" i really didnt believe that there would be any of those magazines or pictures available.

then nearing the end of our meal my mom pushed my shoulder and nodded her head towards this japanese guy in his late 40s and lo and behold! there in front of him was a blown up picture of a naked woman.

i think she was wearing thongs but her boobs were all out for display and everything.

well colour me stunned.

-------------------
-----------------
---------------
--------------
------------

like really stunned. and then the only thing that i could say was "NO WAY! -pause- NO WAY! -pause- MY GOD!"

i mean sure people look at porn and naked pictures of people but in public and so blatantly!

and in a restaurant while they are eating...

NO WAY! dirty old men...pfft.

life goes on and on and on and on...

2007-08-03T23:55:00.001+08:00

my dance module ended today. so what i've learnt are cha cha, jive and salsa.
kinda going to miss going for dance class every fri and i like my teacher and instructor. they're friendly and quite cool.

anyways exams are coming soon. and that is the reality instead of having my holiday mood kicking in. which is always a bad thing.

on another note. i think for people who really know me they realise that i'm quite a personal person. i can act like everything's ok when it not and most likely nobody will realise anything unless i'm willing to show it or to tell anyone.

i'm just not a person that's into sharing my problems openly or to expect comfort or anything.

this is just the reality.

2007-07-22T20:08:00.000+08:00

omfg!!

i'm really up to HERE with bullshit from practically every direction in my life right now.

anyone who has pissed me off/thinking of pissing me off/on the edge of pissing me off can just schtick their heads in their own arses.

my beloved teukie!!

2007-06-17T15:53:00.000+08:00

watched the music awards held in taiwan today (ch49 cable) and i was totally blown away.
this is the first time i see my idols on tv!! OOSHHHHHHHH!
before, everything i ever saw was on a video but this time on tv its totally different and amazing.
for one thing the resolution is sooooo clear.

and their performance of 2 songs.
it was just FANTASTIC.
its like you totally feel the energy when they're performing.and their fans were the loudest!
i soooo want a blue balloon too.
and when they are on stage doing their thing, there's just this adrenaline rush.
funny how im only the audience and not even at the same place or country.

and my beloved teukie!
がんばってね！
he's still as cute as ever.
but the time i get to see him on camera is just tooooo short.

the performance itself is just too short.argh!
the feeling is like somebody took away my lollipop before i could even finish a quarter of it.

anyways the red carpet thingy was repeated Weiqi!
but i missed the backstage part.argh!
i was so irritated.
the whole awards thing was mostly a waste of time for me though.
no offence to anybody.
the program was almost shite.
but the main thing was SUPER JUNIOR!
i feel so high now.wish their performance never ended.

hope they perform at a place which i can actually go.
i am HIGH!
OOSHHHHHHH!

よし！
ばんざい！！！！ばんざい！！！！

memories: the things i never want to forget.

2007-06-10T02:10:00.000+08:00

when i got my letter from ij.asking me to go collect my practically useless cert.
but other than the fact that im happy to be finally done with the school, i feel sad for really leaving my good times behind.

i really miss the fun and crazy times we had together.
now we're all walking on seperate paths.
now we've all got different responsiblities.
i want the old times back.
when we ponned lectures together.
when we loitered round the mall
when we always couldnt decide what to eat when we got there.
when i had to take the train back from woodlands everyday like a ritual.
i miss things like that.

try it!

Night Life

2007-05-26T23:24:00.000+08:00

today i went to cine where pple play pool after my cca dinner.
this is the first time i've gone to a place like that.
i felt intimidated and ignorant.

i wont deny that i've led a sheltered life.
when i was there i felt like i stepped into something totally unfamiliar to me.
something i have never experienced.the feeling can be likened to the battle versus good and evil and the evil side is getting gradually alluring.

however,i still do not condone things like smoking or any other such vices.
but when i was leaving, i was looking at the others who were just arriving.

the people who are used to such a life.
they arrive late at night while i'm there almost nervous that i'll miss the last train/bus home and my mom will be at the door waiting for me with a chopper.

some things never change i guess no matter how old you are.
the feeling is strangely exhilarating.like doing something forbidden.

like doing something frowned upon.

and like what Blake means: the transition from innocence to experience.

it is inevitable.

WHAT A HOOT!

2007-05-26T23:19:00.000+08:00

Copied this from gabbie's blog.its so deliciously funny.just the type of humour i like!

To all Employees,Effective January 2007

Dress Code

It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and/or carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a pay raise.

If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you can buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a pay raise.

If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a pay raise.

Sick Leave

We will no longer accept any doctor's certificate as proof of sickness.If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Holidays

Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturdays & Sundays.

Compassionate Leave

This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers, even if it is crying. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements. Should there be rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.

Toilet Use

Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the cubicles.At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the cubicle door will open, and your picture will be taken.

After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company notice board under the "Chronic Offenders" category.

Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company's mental health policy.

Lunch Break

Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more so that they can look healthy.

Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure.

Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink Slim-Fast.

Obese people get 0 minutes for lunch so that those people belonging to the above-mentioned three categories can benefit.

We thank you for your loyalty to our company.Remember, we are an employer of choice and we are here to provide a positive employment experience.Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and inputs should be directed nowhere.

Best regards
Management

gosh will my bad habit of procrastinating never end.

i feel exhausted...like life has become gradually too much.i have no idea why but it seems this week has been the longest.and im really tired most of the time.

however, on a lighter note.jap is fun! but my speaking test is next wk and hiragana tests are the following weeks.

Cha cha is fun fun! but i started on a new dance today - jive - the rhythm is faster, so its harder and more complicated. and as the lady, my steps are harder than the gentleman's.but of course its still fun fun and leaves me high afterward but i wish we had more time to practise for Cha cha since now im have a better grasp of the sequence of steps and all.

my common test is next week and im starting to feel the pressure esp since i feel that i havent started studying for long and suddenly BAM! its time for common tests.it feels like i havent learnt much since school started.

but there's no turning back now.there's no more second chances for me.

cynical? me? NEVER!

2007-05-07T12:02:00.000+08:00

ok that day i was in the car with my dad when he picked me from school. then there was this crazy driver with his fancy sports car that zoomed through traffic like nobody's business. then i was thinking if somebody ever asked me to get a sports car so i could feel the wind in my hair i'd prolly say "are you kidding me?! and spoil my hair and prolly get cancer from all the toxic fumes i'd be breathing me? are you mentally challenged?".......cynical?? Me???? NEVER!!!!!!!!

anyways...i would really wanna recommend the Jeff Corwin's Experience.you should really catch it if you have animal planet!
the guy is a hoot..i like his sense of fun/humour.its probably the only animal documentary i follow and one i sometimes catch before i go to school if its showing.

oh yea! catching spiderman3 with silin tmr! fun fun fun! can't wait...haha.

and im typing this during my econs tutorial..and she just asked me a lame qn but it caught me offguard cos im obviously not listening.sighs.gtg.

sayonara! im getting myself in the jap wave if you cant tell..oosh!

dance for me BABY!

2007-04-20T18:11:00.000+08:00

ok you'll never believe me latest news.
i have to join dance sports for my sports&wellness module.
as in chacha and latin dances.i cannot make it man!
come on seriously...i cant imagine shaking my butt in a come-hither way(thats the idea right? - trying to be sensual?).

sigh.anyways i really wanted to update my blog yesterday but was overcome with a wave of fatigue(haha-as if anyone believes me).oh! brought my lappie for 2 days already and my skinny arms are suffering from muscle aches.pathetic i know but it was cool being able to use it for lessons ad stuff.

hated economics in ij but the econs lecture was ok yesterday maybe cos the atmosphere and everything is much more relaxed and the lecturer actually has a sense of humour.unlike the pple at ij, where everything is "i am a teacher - obey me".sucks shit i tell you.

jap class is really fun! though the teacher struck me as a freaky fraud at first(no offence-just stating facts).then she seemed really sincere and thats good enough for me in any teacher.so far all my teachers are alright, although it may be that they havent shown their vicious "dont mess with me" side.we'll see.

the travelling time and dist is too much i tell ya.and lugging the lappie everywhere.i feel my lifespan shortening.

i'll prolly be joining NP's stage productions cos my beloved babe (she'll prob skin me alive for this endearment-haha) aka insider informant, weiqi is in there plus im not really adverse to having the chance to boss pple arnd during an event.

Impt Notice: Suju members had an accident again! What bad luck..honestly. They really dont deserve it. However,all's not too bad on the korean idol front. :D

anyways how's this for an update huh? not bad for length ain't it(and of course content).

ta.

back and forth

2007-04-17T22:25:00.000+08:00

im being accused of not updating again as was/is my habit of laziness.

anyways i started school today -apart from orientation- with a business stats lecture. Guess what...im learning stats again! Surprise Surprise..
my lecturer today was this funny guy who reminds me of this jing zhang uncle. as least he's not some snob of a teacher (with no reference to any previous encounters).

i still havent found out who my classmates are and with my not-so-outgoing nature, i am in no doubt, aprrehensive.
so far so good is all i can say.hope for the best.
and this time i'll make the best of it.

certain regrets aside, my revolution to grab hold of the present and future and never look back.

blessed

2007-03-23T02:47:00.000+08:00

compared to many people like, the number of my updates are really pathetic.
waha! but then again i dont really care.there's not really alot for me to write these days. why?
because im slowly decaying at home with NO life.

anyways,the sudden revelation struck me: my life is blessed.
compared to many others,my life is good.
i have my family.they love me and vice versa.
i have friends.i treasure them and vice versa (or i think so/haha).
and no matter how much i do complain about life,i think so far it hasnt been bad.

of course we have to suffer in order to enjoy it.its like the chicken and egg story.
so many cliches exist in this world,but they remain only because they are the ones that hold the most truth.

content.thats the word im looking for.

i dont need many friends.i may not be social but i have enough friends to really call them friends.friends that last and friends that stay.

talked to alvin yesterday.it made me feel satisfied,he gave me a lot of advice but most importantly it was fun to just take time to talk.

talked to chengwei today.it made me feel amused.he is one of my best/oldest friends.our conversation may be made up of mostly rubbish but its just so wonderful to be able to reconnect.

talking to weiqi everyday.i'd say i only realised recently that she may be feeling what i felt before.there's always problems in any relationship you have another person.be it family/friend.they can bring you down so low you think you'll never stand again.then they lift you up so high everything becomes worth it.

talk to silin almost everyday.she's the most stable/sensible among us (weiqi/silin/me) in my opinion.or the better word would be sanest.because weiqi and i can become complete lunatics sometimes.

talk to mel and gab because they are such kuku-fied people its unbelievable.going crazy over crazy stuff.

talk to aaron although he's a bitch.he was the one that kinda understood me in school who remotely understood the sorrows i was spewing.

thats the contradiction in life i guess.

i feel blessed.i have friends and family.they may suck but they are the best. :D

my greatest wish is that i never forget that.

new beginning

2007-03-20T03:28:00.000+08:00

Being in ij for 2 years was somewhat of a stagnation period for me,going to school felt redundant and probably is.
and i was happy that it has finally ended.of course there were good times but it does bring back many bad memories.
i wasnt a bit hesitant in deciding to stop updating my old blog because to me that part of life shouldnt exist anymore,therefore it shouldnt go on.simple as that.
things are different because we have to grow up.we simply have to.its like we have to go on living.the basic theory in my books.
so having a new blog kind of signifies that i am really detached from what no longer remains an obligation.

a new beginning.and im happy for it.i might be making mistakes but at least im moving forward.

in terms of letting go; up till this point of my life i would say im pretty tolerant.
i believe i can forgive and forget eventually.i dont need a religion for that to be a priniciple in my life and im grateful for it.
its cliched when they say that you cant hold grudges forever.and its true.there might be lingering resentment of course but i think thats what makes me grounded.
i know im far from perfect but im content in a way that i know i can make peace with people and myself if need be.it gives me strength.

WHEE!

2007-03-12T11:51:00.000+08:00

ok.moved my blog here.
cos im stupid enough not to know how to use blogskins on xanga.
blah! anyways,my acct at xanga was a little screwed cos i couldnt see any comments that people made.gab and mel said they left comments (scarcastic ones i bet!haha) but i couldnt see any.
like i always say.really dont think 'most basic computer skills for dummies' can even get through to me.thats how bad the situation is.dang!
