Hello MORNING

2010-05-05T06:30:00.001+08:00

6AM.

Bonjour bread delivery truck.

Uncles lined up way ahead of the newspaperman.

Buses with frosted window panes.

School kids with out of bed look.

School kids with stoned face.

Zombified working crowd.

Darn humid weather.

Me, wide awake and blardy hungry.

On Crying

2010-05-02T05:44:00.001+08:00

When we realized our friend had a tiff with her guy, tears started welling up in her eyes.

She said,she just "kan ta bu shuang". But the tears mean something.

Maybe it's disappointment.

I think of disappointment.

Practice what I preach

2010-03-11T00:31:00.001+08:00

Whenever I see kids doing their homework and quit halfway through and decided to do another subject, I cannot understand why they don't want to finish. I will then go through their priorities and deadlines with them and they will decide to stick to what they are doing in the first place.

It's not because I'm anal that way myself.

With the number of deadlines coming, when I lay the work to be done on the table, I have trouble sticking to one and finish them. In my mind, it goes 'oh shit I better find some info for this other work...oh shit I suddenly thought of an idea for this other work. OH SHITTIFIED.'

I think I share the kids' dilemma maybe. The only difference is that theirs can be sorted and done in a shorter span of time.

I'm still shittified.

raffles biodiversity museum

2010-03-04T00:58:00.001+08:00

Finally braved the harsh weather and ventured to the far end of science faculty to find dugong!

The museum is smaller than I expected it to be, but nevertheless amazing, with huge animals like this

And smaller climbing ones…

Oooops there’s big ones there like the rhino. MJ kept poking me and ask me to check if its head was hollow .

And flying ones…..

The barn owl reminds me of the white owl I saw in Ang Mo Kio a few years back!

AND….I DID NOT SEE THE BABY DUGONG IN A JAR ANYWHERE IN THE MUSEUM!!!!

Upset.

Well…..at least now I know ( cause I never pay attention to Brenda) that mousie is actually called a shrew.

The weather is driving me nuts. I perspire like crazy and have to watch out for any sweaty smelly school kids or drenched in sweat man coming to sit beside me on the train/stand near me on the bus. (I think I smell okay!)

I should get myself a tub of ice cream!

Miso bowl and test blogging

Finally got around to hooking up the phone with blogger! Otherwise I will forever be using twitter.

Brenda got me a miso bowl, but I don't know if my miso sachets are still edible....might expire already:(

Dear Diamond

2010-01-13T00:45:00.001+08:00

You have an awesome house, and I’m happy that you gave up your comfy sleeping spot on the guest bed when I stayed over.

I know you love disturbing the rabbits during summer, beyond the backyard where there’s cornfield.

You are the first American dog I know, and the best buddy to everybody.

RIP, I love you.

The sun so bright it woke me up

2009-12-01T11:17:00.001+08:00

Where’s the gloomy weather? The sun literally shone on my ass today, it’s a sign I shouldn’t concussed any longer and be productive. But with one last paper dangling, I so wanna look beyond that and think of what can be done after exams.

I know… I have The Wine Company date with the 50th this Friday. They are the fastest post exam planners, booking everybody wayyyy beforehand. But so sad, I’m like the last person on earth (amongst them) to finish exam.

I wanna go visit Noah’s Ark again.

I am going Penang. Grandma!

I am determined to set up our own site.

I am so looking forward to picking up my dear G9 again. Oh dear G9 how I miss you and you are going around the world with me again! Love you don’t be upset ok.

I am…taking driving test before I go Penang.Bless me.

Speaking of blessings, I forgot to bring my good luck amulet to school for first two papers. Which might explain why I might screw up the papers. Felt more assured when I brought it for subsequent papers. Thanks Effie! Haha now I can’t do without it. And Spongebob has been watching me write in the exam hall. He better don’t screw me up. HAHAHA.

Christmas…..I want cash leh. I’m having deficits which are cutting so deep, I’m suffering from debts of roughly the same percentage as Dubai right now. I need a bailout. Driving is costly, allowances is merely enough to pay my concessions and bills, I see $0 every month.

GAHS! how to have fun when every spending equals to negative infinity? @#$%@^%#&.

Last night, I watched a marvellous sand painter. Pretty Ukranian artist! And what good story she tells. AMAZING.

Ok go study already.

Been awhile.

2009-11-19T10:53:00.001+08:00

Hello people, I thought yesterday was Tuesday, so today’s Wednesday, tomorrow’s Thursday. Which made me missed tuition for the second time in a week! That’s what the lack of sleep does to you.

So Tuesday was spent in school, through the night, in the not so comfy honors room, but with awesome people around. Essay spent arguing with each other, almost punching each other, accepting each other’s opinion, grammar got corrected by English teacher to be Emily, then rephrased to match our lower standard, eat prawn crackers, cups of hot drink, sushi, blah.

5AM, Matt announced that it was the peak for meteor shower, we ran, left our soon to be done essay, climb up to the rooftop, stared at the brightly lit sky, Singapore is too fucking bright, we stared and somebody exclaimed there really was meteors, we tuned our eyesight to 100000% max, really have, lots of them, it’s like a TV tuning gone wrong with the fizzles. Can’t stop exclaiming how amazing it was, and for a moment, we were damn happy. At 5 am in the morning.

Best night, best honours time ever for now.

We watched this clip that same night and the song got into my head.

Recently….

2009-10-17T16:08:00.001+08:00

There was a Batam trip not long ago, and I fell in love with this:

Milk in a can!

I’m left with one can, can’t bear to drink it up. =/

I don’t know who took this, but…

Meeting up with department profs and alcohol is on the menu.

AND….

Time to get serious about climbing. No more rentals for stinky smelly shoes!

Duper good 4th year

2009-09-30T01:13:00.001+08:00

It’s only until now, you’ll see who are the friends buzzing by and forget who you are, who are those who bothers / me bother to drop a text for lunch, a sign of a treasured friendship.

I’ve never knew I could have so many friends, and have found good ones that I will want them to last.

With so many shit things happening around, I know I can still count on you guys.

I do miss having Wan Ting around.

But there’s still very awesome people around me to keep me going, continuing the bitchin’, and keeping me strong.

4th Year will still be good despite having people with too high IQs but simply low EQs.

Either that or it’s clearly a matter of class differences.

But I have a good bourgeoisie friend.

This is such an emo post.

I don’t know how to continue now.

I’m just thankful.

Vintage Polaroid Land Camera 800! Finally got it

2009-09-03T17:33:00.001+08:00

I have been trying my luck in getting one off ebay but the shipping prices were ridiculous (okay, I admit land camera is VERY heavy) for my pockets to handle, OR it only ships to United States.

Singapore is not in China! I don't pay through sleazy banks. I use Paypal okay.

BUT NOW I HAVE ONE! off Ebay, lugged it back from the post office. Super wrong choice to cycle over to save time and ended challenging myself to balance a 4kg item on one hand and cycle.

The leather carrier…is the exact same size as the box.

Top Grain Cowhide. Moo.

Funny lookin’ flashbulbs

Exposure meter, Wink Light (it adds more tons to the already humongous camera), some very pretty instruction cards, and a thirty-five cents magazine.

I managed to open it in a couple of minutes, but took forever to figure out how to close it. There’s a handle on top to carry, when placed horizontally it’s is like having two DSLRS.

Huge times 5-6 compact cameras + much more weight.

Sheesh, photographers sure grow muscles in those days.

Gigantic grasshopper flew into my room

2009-08-19T19:16:00.001+08:00

It’s second week into school and the momentum is FAST and boy, it’s mentally draining. Keeping up deadlines after deadlines means staying up late to meet the 12 midnight mark or whatever timing the profs sets the work to be done by.

So in the middle of the night two nights back, I had a company.

Some mutated big ass grasshopper flew and landed on my polaroid.

Bad choice to ask my sister to come in and view this marvellous creature, for she screamed when it jumped, flew, and jumped and flew. She screamed as if she was in a haunted house, and my parents FLEW out from their room, jolted up from sleep with her dreadful screamings.

Crazy.

So I decided to make my $2 Daiso display case be of some use:

TADAH! It jumped right into the case.

But I released it when I realized it has the power to jump so forcefully, that it hit the acrylic case and it’s back started bleeding.

One hell of a angry grasshopper.

I smell freedom

2009-07-31T03:46:00.001+08:00

I can’t sleep, but I have finished up a report, ready to throw at someone’s face.

I better get my pay, so that after 31st July (which is today) , I can stop tolerating stingy people , get rid of the fake pretentious act I’ve been keeping up (towards SOMEBODY + SIAO CHARBOR).

With some cash from the miserable pay, I can go climbing this Saturday, find Effie who’s travelling solo from Taiwan over the weekend, sit down and think about breadth modules I can take (not many choices, damn), pack my room, etc etc.

My girl is going out with another girl on Sunday. I’m free.

I just want to keep saying,

I’M FREE ON SUNDAY!

so sad.

Anybody want to buy things from drugstore.com/beauty.com? Hop on my shopping list!

This wedding march still puts a smile on my face.

2009-07-28T20:21:00.001+08:00

ASOS sale! Use direct shipping, forget about troublesome vPost!

2009-07-23T15:04:00.001+08:00

Whee whoo! My sister told me about the sale going as crazy as 1pound (SGD 2.30), I had to check it out. They ship to Singapore, like American Eagle, but CHEAPER!

So I grabbed a lounge pants at 4 pounds, top at 3 pounds, and Brenda got a Fred Perry Peter Pan white top at 20 pounds.

Shipping goes by weight, but ours was about 3.95 pounds which comes about SGD 2-3 per item for shipping.

Forget about sprees, buy them yourself! Click the picture above and start shopping!

A laptop for my dad.

He told my mom it’s too slow. 513MB RAM for a basic user, TOO SLOW.

Should have guessed it since he uses the desktop over the laptop.

My sister doesn’t help, from the start say this com has lesser speed, very slow. She say gonna put one RAM in, up till now I don’t hear it.

No heavy applications, how can it be slow?

Pay bills for my mom.

I absorb the hubstation rental.

She never pay me back for two months. (April/May bill)

Now it’s two months worth of bills unpaid (June/July)

Gave me back two months + 1 month.

Told her need one more month, she question about the bill. I use mastercard, I never touched the hardcopy.

I’m helping to pay bill with 50% of my allowance gone one shot and get back very very late.

Hubstation was switched off that day, don’t know by who. Bro complain that day that hubstation cannot record because of the switching off from main power.

My fault is it?

Got things, then come and find me. Shit you all lar.

WTF.

Countdown. what, again?

2009-07-14T00:45:00.001+08:00

Aiya, to be honest I never liked countdowns (I did in earlier post). When I was in Secondary school, the teachers like to flash this proudly done banner with slots to dump the numbers in descending order at the assembly area. Those speaking will be one stairs up and the banner is right in front of them facing us, which is really pressurizing.

Then there’s countdown to New Year, Chinese New Year, Christmas, where everyone screams for joy for that miraculous half hour. Last time, I never knew what to feel. My family+ extended family has this habit of shaking hands at my Grandma’s place when counting down for Chinese New Year. Everytime somebody shook hands with me, I feel like crying. Cry because I was very stupid to know how to respond to people, and don’t know whether to be happy or sad. Maybe I was too inward and depressed or something.

Now, I don’t feel like crying; I put my bestest smile on and be crazily excited.

And now, countdowns are the best thing to do when you just want things to arrive or things to go away.

Like my internship. GO AWAY

Like KL trip. This weekend. FASTER LEH!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHEE YONG! BE HAPPY!

Beanie for head not beanie babies!

2009-07-08T00:11:00.001+08:00

Ebay.sg is crap. Google can be crappy too. You can’t type ‘beanie’ to get headwear; it’s filled with either

these BEANIES

OR worse

Man this is a scary lookin’ Patrick or what. No wonder nobody want to buy on Ebay.

Now my safe option is Etsy but COME ON, some of the sellers’ shipping charges are a little too crazy! It’s just a beanie! Singapore is NOT that far away man.

Any other shop sells nice lookin’ headwear and don’t charge much for shipping?

no more hair! @ Hair for Hope 2009

2009-07-06T00:39:00.001+08:00

Serious! My dad surprisingly said that it looks good, and reminded my sister about the scar she planted on my head when we were young. I live in a violent household. The scar in front is not the one, I don’t know where that came from.

Thank you Qiwen and Brenda’s mom for the donations=)

Mos burger

2009-07-02T14:00:00.001+08:00

Orchard central has an outlet and it’s kinda different. Soups are thick not watery, and served in a:

Soup bowl. And soup spoon comes along.

Teas are served in teacups, rattan baskets replaced the usual white plastic ones, regular size cold drinks served in glasses.

Their burgers are nicely done too, as rated by bibu the mos addict.

What are you tired of?

2009-06-30T22:59:00.001+08:00

Few minutes ago I found Osocio through a Tweet by springwise. It’s a site that features social advertising and non-profit campaigns around the world. Then like any other new media wannabe, I immediately hook them up on Twitter and Facebook.

One of the first few tweets from Osocio was this website which goes “I’m tired of….”

It’s not asking about the nitty gritty things in your personal life which you’re tired of. (I’m tired of my internship right now)

It’s asking about global issues that you’re “tired” of. They sell bracelets and shirts, and 50% of profits goes donated from a good cause. Their bracelets are pretty neat, and they have a flat shipping regardless of quantity. What is more they allow charities/ organizations to order their bracelets at a cheaper price, sell them, and the profits goes into fund raising.

I immediately thought of how, in NUS, for a charity fundraising, it’s always TEESHIRTS that people won’t wear out proud, some STALE DOUGHNUTS, some BUTTONS, some CARDS….

Maybe Imtiredonline can do the trick. I would gladly buy their bracelets, made from recycled rubber tyres and metals. Looks good too. Save the environment at the same time.

NUS little fundraisings are sometimes kinda lame.

Cufflinks

2009-06-30T17:02:00.001+08:00

I have always been a closet cufflink fan but have never gotten one. I admire the designs, but I can’t wear it simply because I’m not a guy.

Click picture above to get to seller’s page

But Gearcrave on Twitter showed me this and I had to buy it. Like ASAP when I saw it past midnight last night. What should I use it for? Hmm.

This post is actually to tell Sharon: Perhaps you can get for KC too before it’s gone!

Boobs from Twitter

2009-06-24T10:11:00.001+08:00

The first mail on the list was somebody following me on Twitter. I thought it would be some random donzos who treats twitter like old skool friendster, adding 101 friends they don’t know look like they have a lot of friends.

Today was perhaps no different, except…

When I went to her website from twitter, I was greeted by….

Her boobs. Wow. Those interested just ask me for the website, or perhaps some of you already know. Not porn, just a nude model.

Ipod touch/ Iphone applications are amazing and amusing

2009-06-16T16:37:00.001+08:00

I’m on a rampant catching up on ipod touch applications online and there’s always many applications I’ll be curious and download.

My module mate Fuzzy once told me that she slept in the train and it went till the end and back. If she has an ipod/iphone she can use this:

Station Alarm SG

Just set which station you are and which station you are alighting at, then sleep/snore like nobody’s business.

NYC has similar application though I daresay their picture is…much better:

NYC subway snooze

Sad to say I downloaded neither. Not a train person in Singapore.

I downloaded free books, free travel guides, free language guides, and free things like

So that Brenda Then can have a virtual Puffy.

For those with cars

2009-06-10T00:55:00.001+08:00

Those who drives might find this kinda cool, with petrol prices roundups, reports and discussions on current promotions and discounts.

And it lists the petrol stations island wide.

Something good for the us – the budget people.

I don’t have a car and I still want that skateboard…

Arniko skateboard

The battle of subs

2009-06-08T13:46:00.001+08:00

I remember telling Brenda that there’s this advertisement on TV that blatantly claim that it is better than subway. That was when I was staying in the States. This sandwich chain has super lame commercials, invites gay connotations, racism or simply porn-ish.

I can’t find the one I watched last year, but this one’s similar.

And this is the one that got banned. Don’t watch it without earphones, the moaning is super disturbing.

Anyways Quiznos is in Singapore, with one at Far East Square and another’s going to be at Orchard Central. Speaking of which, you should really go Orchard Central now with the low crowd and get a breathtaking view of orchard road from the 7th level. Mini Empire State-like!

But the best subs I have tasted was Potbelly Sandwich Works and Brenda got to try that when we went Baltimore! By pure luck, they had an outlet there. My first Potbelly was in Chicago and the bread was sooooooo good.

I bet I will still love Potbelly after trying Quiznos.

Hungry.

Kill cockroach

Wan Ting wants me to kill cockroaches everyday, from my 22nd till she gets me another geeky/funky stuff.

So now I have some big ass cockroach on my desk.

I love 13.

Anybody has House season 4?

Update: Apparently Thirteen came about because when Olivia was brought by the original fellows, there were a total of 40 potential brought in. Everyone wore a number on bibs, and hers was 13.=D

Looking at facebook...

got me quite disgusted. You can't be beside a pretty girl! Ugly big fat idiot.

To me, this is animal genocide

2009-05-13T11:55:00.001+08:00

The villagers spent the effort to dump these dogs onto a island with mangroves and venomous snakes. This is insane! Go to this website for updates. The puppy in the poster was rescued, but the rest are dying and turning carnivorous as the island has no food……

This is sick. Some sort of animal genocide, really.

Furry Friends Farm has been part of this rescue effort. We should check the place out soon!

I’m still on papers and pens

2009-05-06T13:50:00.001+08:00

As of now, I will contemplate reading tweets, facebook updates, blog entries, etc. That’s because everybody’s saying that their exams have ended (that includes you ah Tan Chee Yong) and here I am still in the frantic writing process, churning out essays in exam halls.

It doesn’t help that I had a bad dream last night. It was about how I got a two page question paper instead of three, hence missing out on further instructions, only to realize after the paper has ended.

I’m looking forward to holidays, but I’m stuck with no internship replies. I highly suspect that NUS ejob application thing is rigged. Or too grades oriented, that’s why my resume will never be considered.

This is it. I'm not going to censor your country's name.

2009-05-05T01:37:00.008+08:00

After another brainwrecking exam, I craved for a good meal. Only to be destroyed by a restaurant hiring mostly servers from China. Well it doesn't help that the woman just pointed to the menu against the wall and asked us to see for ourselves that the menu's THERE, ON THE WALL. We haven't even got our ass on the seat you bitch. Don't mess with hungry souls like me.

But the ultimate annoyance comes from the fact that when we speak English and the male server did not understand, he replied in Mandarin so confidently, not answering our questions.

I hate that smug confidence. Can't you just say 'I don't understand, let me check with somebody.????' Stop gibbering with that thick accent and anyhow hamtum answer our queries. It's not your hometown cuisine anyways. Its Japanese dishes we're talking about here. FYI, I would gladly speak Mandarin in Crystal Jade.

And one last incident to sum up the night, the SBS driver stopped at the side of the road on expressway and asked us passengers whether he was driving in the correct direction. He spoke in accented Mandarin. And a fellow China construction worker who probably commutes on a daily basis on this bus service number, had to direct him.

You might just not get home one day with the bus! Ditch public transport!

But I got no money to get my own transport. =(

Not studying, still on food

2009-04-29T15:19:00.001+08:00

I like to stay in swank hotels, but eat street food. I like to visit markets, museums as it is an express lane into a culture. I like to eat street food - eating cheap food next to the locals because there is an added sense of acceptance as well as better sense of the people and the culture. I am also more generous in poorer countries, as I feel it is good karma building

-Bobby Chinn, Pilot Guides

This is why we prefer World Cafe Asia over Kylie Kwong (caramelize, caramelize, brown sugar, some ginger, light soy) though we watch both.

Yay Bibu, his philosophy is very much like ours!

Looks not bad although it's flattened. I shall dig out the cards later.

So here goes,

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO MADE THIS PRESENT POSSIBLE!!

I don't have a personal phone which means I don't have contacts. So I can't text everyone without missing out somebody. I'm considering going to 7-11 after my reading programme.

Sian.

2009-03-31T19:32:00.005+08:00

Throughout my university school life, I am afraid of not doing my part in group work and I will be guilty. Only to realize, there are tons of shitty people who won't feel this way.

So now I'm straddling with this endless project which by Thursday, other groups will be walking out of the class happily having rid of the huge burden. Mine is until Sunday. I don't even want to do with them. By saying "them", I mean two out of three. My comfort today was that I finally found a quiet ally among the group.

My home-made blackboard allows me to vent my anger by writing hard, yet turn out nice. Chalks rock. So my mood for now would be:

Sian.

PISSED OFF

2009-03-28T14:51:00.002+08:00

I am seriously pissed off and I have nowhere else to rant.

Signs that your group members are not bothered about project:

Did "Research" and email saying, 'oh look! i've found something that can be used' when hey,I've posted the exact same thing three weeks back. Evidently, no one looked at what I shared and just took what I verbally told them and retold 'em to the tutor. BEST.
Posted a 200 plus word into the essay and told us to take a look at it. No quotes, no nothing. Note that this is supposed to be a 6000 word paper. 200 out of6000 leh. Divided by 4 person, each one supposed to write at least 1000 plus what.
NAH BEI I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ALREADY

GO AND DIE, seriously. I am sick of the pretensions, having to go, 'hahah it's okay, c'mon lets do this and this'.......

only to get a kick in the ass when ever I open the group document. I look forward to something better but time and time again, I wanna vomit and strangle somebody. TMD TMD!!!!!

I MUST EAT ALOT LATER. MY STOMACH IS FILLED WITH ANGER. YI DU ZI QI.

It's my birthday....

2009-03-26T14:42:00.003+08:00

doesn't quite feel like it, because...

I have papers due tomorrow, monday, and...
Ok I have to do paper now.

I just added like nearly 30 friends on facebook because people wish me happy birthday.

Bibu and I have flickr PRO account for FOUR freaking years. This is cool shite. For.....RM100.

And....

shoutout to Michigan:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYLA!

Gmail stickers and Jenny is finally dead

2009-03-14T01:45:00.002+08:00

I was hoping for a spaceship/robot instead of the old computer sticker so that I can trade with Bibu.

Anyways, L word is over! And I think nobody killed her, she just tumbled off the railing. Oh that's a spoiler bit.

Secret trip later, must go sleep now!

Venice with lizards

2009-02-27T13:35:00.002+08:00

Bibu told me this is Venice of the East

Swimming with big water lizards.

Melaka! Bibu must keep up with our travel blog man.

Hmm.
Smelly.

The Real one begins in the car. Ahhhhhh. =)
I have been thinking about sex in the car since 3am and in lecture (twittered). Alice's car is plus plus plus.
ahhh.
Sorry if it's spoiler to anyone, can't help it!

BACK!

2009-01-27T01:46:00.001+08:00

The aftermath of explosives.

Off to a placewhere $$=1/2=RM

2009-01-24T15:23:00.002+08:00

I like travelling to Msia. Honestly, as much as I travel to Malaysia often, I don't know much about the geographical layout of the states.

But basically, I just hate going to places I don't like. Like right now, I'm going to leave at night to Msia for CNY. A place where I don't really like.

I want to travel to the Northern States of Malaysia and notice the Thai influences on traditional dances. Or food. Or whatever.

I want to travel to Malacca. But I figured their technology is still not very advanced because damn, I can't contact the guesthouse person. But I thought of riding on the convenience of going to Msia for CNY and CALL THEM from Msia itself. So I won't have to pay a single cent/sen!

Balek Kampung. But I finally cancelled my Msian citizenship. So stop laughing at me already.

2009-01-22T17:26:00.001+08:00

It affirms.

Bad new year start.

-------You are always alert and keenly observant. You are not truly satisfied with your everyday status and you are seeking fresh avenues which can give you the opportunity to prove your worth. You feel that there are still many barriers that stand between you and recognition - but one by one you will overcome them. Your tenacity is your one good point - like an English Bulldog, once you take the bite, you will seldom let go.

You are a very warm and emotional individual but unfortunately in the past too many people have taken advantage of this sensitive trait. You need aesthetic surroundings, or an equally sensitive and understanding partner with whom to share a warm understanding.

The situation at this time is one of considerable distress. You feel trapped and you are looking for some way out. You can find solace in the arms of someone who cares so long as there is no long-term emotional involvement.

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

You are anxious about all the limitations to which you are subjected to at this time. You feel that you are not valued for what or who you are. You need OUT. So why procrastinate any longer - MOVE!-----------

Losing grip.

2009-01-21T00:37:00.001+08:00

Things are going way beyond my control.

When economy gets bad

2009-01-12T02:20:00.005+08:00

School starts today! And I'm still not sleeping..

Wan Ting told me that our history mod is flooded with NINE announcements. And somebody so kan chiong spider alerted the lecturer about errors on IVLE stuffs. Shits, got KS people.

Anyway, when the economy gets bad, the society shows signs and symptoms of its early onset. Petty thefts are everywhere, even for the simplest things. And you will see people trying to con kind hearted souls into donation money by deliberately making themselves look helpless, soliciting donations.

That was what happened to us today. A man came with a walking stick and plastic box in Chinatown asking us for $$. My policy, learnt from looking at even poorer people from other countries, is that I will never donate to an individual just because he/ she appears poor, shabby, homeless. Who knows, they might just be managed by a syndicate, and money donated doesn't go to them? Or they are individuals who are perfectly normal but pretend they are not?

My policy is: I will only offer to fill your stomach and make you feel okay if you are poor, begging on the street and have nothing to eat.

In this case, the man walked very fast and passed us down the street. We rejected him a couple of minutes before we left our dinner table. He tried his luck on a group of people again, showing his "trembling" arm. He failed. We walked behind him and I think his arm was just an act. Guess what, he straightened his arm, the walking stick seemed useless except aid his tired legs from conning people, and used his "trembling" arm to support his sling bag.

The mighty "trembling" arm can support his bag and the bag never tremble leh!

Stupid conman. My bibu almost gave in and asked me don't be so bad. But these people are heartless in the first place. Seriously.

And those people selling tissue paper, sorry, but I think it's just a easy business to do, not helping you too by buying.

xMas present part 2

2009-01-05T00:32:00.004+08:00

When I was young, I love to read books by Enid Blyton. Most people would have read the hardcover books. I read those and the Noddy series as well. Bibu doesn't know who is Noddy, when I saw the toy somewhere long time ago with her.

I saw the treasury edition recently at Books Actually and like it very much. It's a compilation of first 5 books on Noddy and his adventures.

The stories revolve around Noddy and his trademark red and yellow car, his friends and the baddies. I love the pretty illustrations which made me imagine what happened, their expressions and how the 'people' in Toyland looked like.

I only have 1 or 2 series of Noddy, which I bought in Primary school whenever there is a book sale. But now I have the treasury edition, which means 5 more series!

=) Spookabao and Noddy sums up my xMas presents=)

**We just made black sesame paste for Tang Yuan. It's in the fridge to harden, so hopefully it turns out ok for part 2 of Tang Yuan making!

Year 2000 and nine

2009-01-01T18:51:00.004+08:00

(They just want to say hello! Pooopsie Jnr stayed in NY for damn long she's really so much fatter than pink bibu Jnr.)

It's 2009 and 2008 wasn't too bad. I'm not going to list down everything that happened, but I guess the major trip this year was to the States. Sad to say the program wasn't enjoyable, but hey I managed to get a 'family' away from home. Oh and some really good friends too, from the States and some are from other countries!

Come 2009, I will still love Bibu, travel travel travel despite our budget, save save save so that I won't incur all the education debts when I come out to work.

And study study study so that I can still continue for another year.

Work work work for more $$ to save and throw it at the bank.

Okay,

Have a great year ahead! (I got my Spooka and it's called spookabao, xMas present from Bibu!)

Near "opium lane", and muah chee making

2008-12-26T23:16:00.004+08:00

As we walked closer to the mosque, Bussorah Street became quiet. It was a cold Christmas night, and I tried Hummus and Pita bread, with nice Moroccan tea for the first time.

Nice warm mint tea for a cold cold night.

And the day after Christmas is the time where sales begin! Those with vouchers for Christmas, shiok ah!
Bibu and I decided to wait and not scramble for the sale, and make Muah Chee! Check it out on our travel and food blog. It's snowing over there!

Renewed interest for NLB

2008-12-15T00:50:00.002+08:00

This has got to be my longest membership term EVER.

I don't know if I will live till then.

In any case, NLB is evolving, it has MORE things to do online. Guess what, you can read Straits Times online without subscribing, just get a account on NLB website, and tada! Free!
Yes if this goes on,I might just stop complaining how cold and unfriendly National Library at Bugis is.

And because of the online offers, I paid my fines. Dated....more than 5 years back. Well done!

2008-12-14T23:53:00.003+08:00

iGoogle is quite fun. They integrated themes and stuffs to be added. And Bejeweled included! Oh man I'm going to start playing it non-stop again. Oh I also like the fact that my Gmail is way too long and messy such that the giraffe from the bus stop seems so short, and when it rains the giraffe disappears while the humans wait with umbrellas or none. And....

You can add stingray also. I'm going to remove it, but just to test and see what it's about, I added...and it's some weird thing floating around on a blue screen, like this:

Oily ramen place....for rice.

2008-12-08T17:01:00.002+08:00

On a rainy day, oily ramen shop has comforting chasu rice with egg. Add more chasu and you won't see the rice! -Burps-

Happy birthday Elinn!
Bring you go eat oily ramen soon.

Meat.

2008-12-01T00:26:00.004+08:00

I am quite hungry. I want to try Wagyu.

I shall go eat ~~dessert~~ chee cheong fun (buy 1 get 1 free for 2bucks).

SLR cheap cheap, Hokkaido milk not cheap

2008-11-30T01:56:00.008+08:00

Flea Fly Flo Fun was nice, Elinn and I spent $10 bucks each to share a Canon SLR. The task now is to clean up the damn camera. And hope that it works so that we are not cheated.

We got that cheap deal but busted our money on Japanese food. Because we are not very rich, the four of us shared this:

Hokkaido milk 1 litre. For the price we can buy perhaps 2-3 Meiji milk. But! It's damn goooood. Maybe Hokkaido cow different.

Then the concert was not too bad, I don't like Singapore Idol 2 (Insert name). Argh.
Okay but I love Hossan Leong and Dim Sum Dollies with Fly's favorite Pontianak and Singapore girl. Watch this:

Victoria Secret videos

2008-11-28T14:22:00.001+08:00

Victoria Secret fans you better check out nice nice videos....

on the right.
Don't get high on the com.

Happening on Saturday

2008-11-25T01:07:00.004+08:00

On the wall, a photography showcase cum bazaar. Worth checking out at Old School,Mount Sophia,2-10pm!

And I won a pair of tickets to the World Aids Day concert, Fort Canning, 7.30pm-10pm=)

Flea Fly Flo Fun, at Home Club, 4pm-10pm. It's an indie flea market, sounds pretty awesome.

And Bibu and I can have a nice Saturday out. And little shopping at flea markets.=)=)

Won't it be nice

2008-11-24T22:43:00.003+08:00

Won't it be nice to see the sun, feel the sun, breathe the sun?
Not Singapore's beaches though, oh but sentosa maybe.

This is physical geography for me.
Damn, I'm so bored.

2008-11-22T17:38:00.003+08:00

Some people are soooo stupid.

I am fine with hanging around with friends i know who smoke and chill out with them. Provided they don't blow the smoke in my direction la, considerations please.

Now I'm at book cafe, there's two girls who can't find seats at the designated smoking area, and settled down near me. They are so fucking irritating, shifted the standing fan and blow it around them, thus circulating the smoke around them to EVERYWHERE.

FUCKING STUPID PLEASE.

I shall report to the staff if they light up yet ANOTHER cigarette. I'm dying.

Come and go Come and go

2008-11-18T22:40:00.002+08:00

The days passes over , and sometimes I feel like the time passed wasn't spent well enough.
By well enough, I mean doing the things I WANT TO DO.
Which doesn't include studying.

And it upsets me a little, to sometimes remember that we are not travelling for this semester break. Which has been the norm for us most of the time. Then I have to make myself happy that we are conceptualizing plans for our future and we can travel everywhere and help people and leave our footprints in every continent. Can't wait.

Why i can't find the song to post for Bibu. Ok next time.

2008-11-10T13:05:00.002+08:00

I don't really like the chatbox, chatterbox, chatchat, all these talking boxes.

I'm trying out something, there's a comment option available, underneath the end of every post, it's the day and date hyperlink. Still wondering why it's there, but just so you know.

So yes, there's an avenue to start comment/chatting.

Spoka! I will get you!

2008-11-10T01:22:00.003+08:00

Bibu is not very happy that some green frog has her bolster cloth.
But I'm actually more concerned about trotting down to IKEA again......
To get my SPOKA!!!!! Pls pls don't be sold out. But the irritating thing is the cloth isn't the same as other countries'. GRr.

And this old colonial squash court is super cool. I was imagining the whole time those British playing squash in short shorts. Maybe their squash rackets are made with wooden frame.

Oh, Obama

2008-11-05T23:35:00.003+08:00

This is probably the first time I read more about US elections then any other. Enough to notice that Obama became skinnier as the campaign went on for 21 months. Well, this is probably the most exciting, and heartwarming change. On CNA, one China student said Obama might restrict trade and this will hurt China, the other one went on to highlight that Obama is non-white. Their comments are a bit childish and racist.

And my lecturer was so happy that she disappeared in the midst of our discussion today at 1pm, only to come back with photocopied notes and an outburst of "Obama won!" (arm stretches in the air). For that moment, we were too shocked and got jolted out of our sleepy mode because the tutorial had a dry boring start.

Oh I found my prof in a Tattoo facebook group. That's too cool.

See what I mean. Anyways, I think the Tattoo Show will be awesome.

Big Walk and great steal

2008-11-03T01:05:00.005+08:00

Humans. It was a Big Slow Walk today.

But nevertheless, it was a good change from the usual sleep in Sundays. And right smack on the day before the submission of a very agonizing paper, I need to get out and breathe first before I resume the pain of making the CONCEPTUAL LEAP.

Bibu snapped this very fast. A star cloud which soon flew away and disintegrated.

In my opinion, it's amazing how MM Lee had this vision 20 yrs back and BOOM! Marina Barrage pops up, a vision come true.

And I love this. Don't you think it has a pair of eyes? It's like, SAKAI the roller.

And the final thing I did today, was to collect these tickets. A lot lesser than the price stated. YAY!!!!

2008-10-31T00:04:00.002+08:00

Authentic ramen should be oily to be piping hot, and salty.

AND WE FOUND IT!!!!

It's so oily, it glosses your lips on your first mouthful of HOT HOT pork bone broth.

and kept burning our tongue because it's really PIPING HOT. Another round soon!
It's a secret place, must ask me or Bibu to know. Or join us in our next session to burn our tongue together.

Shut up

2008-10-29T00:36:00.000+08:00

I don't even feel like talking to you about anything anymore

Celebration of ethnicity

2008-10-27T22:13:00.003+08:00

It's been a long while since Bibu and I have gone anywhere other than my house for dinner. Weekday is work for her and weekend is work for me so basically, all we need everyday was well basically, ZZZzzss. So on Saturday we decided to GO OUT and EAT. As it was early, we decided to try Dallas Chicken for a sample of their CHICKEN, so that we can have a challenge on their buffet promotion next time. Not wanting heavy meat stuff again, we decided on Sawasdee Thai, beside Chinatown food centre, where the ladies keep speaking thai and more thai. Then there was an impromptu visit to the Hindu temple, where pigeons sleep with the statues. And random nice man offered to share his food from the temple, sweet rice, not bad, especially having tried the POWER dessert at Khansama, this was no kick. And then drinking water from the water cooler outside a mosque, which wraps up our day.

We embrace everbody.

But I am a bad person. Helping people behind their back isn't such a good thing. Unless I am super optimistic. SERIOUSLY. I don't know what to say already. This is going off topic.

BYE.

2008-10-25T01:54:00.002+08:00

Anybody interested in getting stuff from Palmercash?

EMAIL me at nuageishot@gmail.com

2008-10-24T23:59:00.003+08:00

So there was the case of the missing swimwear.
Then there was the case of the missing clothes.
Next, the case of the missing urn.

NOW, the case of the missing slippers.
Which includes, all the slippers I own. KNNBCCB.

I hope the person fall down yesterday, today, tomorrow, and everyday.

The police must have found our case quite amusing. Well it offers them some duties to patrol more.

2008-10-14T23:51:00.002+08:00

Things that I suddenly remember; shall aim to do by the end of this year:

Go Johor Permas Go Kart and play
Go play paintball
Get a decent internship

And I can't wait to see how the area in the zoo will turn out with the kids on weekends.

Part time this, part time that

2008-10-09T00:28:00.002+08:00

Come to think of it...

I'm a part time student who has a part time job in the zoo, and on the look for more part time nonsense to do.

Seriously, the horrible competitiveness with the non-females in my cohort makes me not wanna study. Grades are important but not for comparison purpose. Damn, they do make me feel stupid sometimes.

Competitive nature used to be strong in me, not now.

Blue-black white and green

2008-10-08T00:19:00.006+08:00

Someone got injured on Sunday by
a mini,

wooden horse. It's actually super shiok to rub somebody's blue-black.

And a lil black with white creature shivered, her name is De--er Do-ooor. Wanting thought it's Thidor.

But she is wanted by a keen owner tomorrow. Please be very very smelly so you won't be sold. And please please someone win Toto or is it 4D tomorrow and this pig ~~intestine~~ stomach can have a little home with nice people =)

Sidetrack: I bought 4 packets times 3 satchets = 12 bottle = 12 Litre of green tea. I can compete with Huimei in becoming green monster. I don't know why she is green monster though.

BLINK BLINK!

2008-10-03T00:29:00.003+08:00

Converse warehouse sale was fun, because we get SMART deals.
And on the MRT, got this girl with very long and fake eyelash
She blink so frequently, it's hard not to spot the unnatural hair planted on her eyelids
Which makes me wonder, is it because of the unnatural hair, which makes it unnaturally uncomfortable, that's why she blink so many times in 10 seconds
Or is it because, she just want people to notice so she blink blink blink
Then again, she very the ugly
That's very mean, but she likes to play with her boyfriend's manboobs on the MRT, which is disgustingly funny.
I don't want to fall down
Because bibu say i fall down later be as ugly as her
Now, who's mean.
NB.

After the Kway Chap....

2008-09-26T00:05:00.002+08:00

I offered my Mom's Mercs with two wheels to get our beer fix ( which didn't happened, damn).

"I ride down, later upslope your turn to ride can?"

" Cannot....my stomach is filled with 猪油."

Bibu ate 3/4 of the plate of pig stuff meant for 2 people.

1 year plus

2008-09-20T12:34:00.002+08:00

You've became a mountain cat. I remember how, you came down the hill finally that night just to find me, or perhaps it's the food that got you tempted yet again.
The only fella I see once in a while, is you, the grey sensitive boy. I know you must be peeved because for 3 months, I wasn't around. But I do miss you!
And smarty Bunny, where have you gone to?

I miss you boys!

Gas complain

2008-09-15T22:59:00.005+08:00

During training
"When the guests complain......"

My Mom thought it was gas complaining.

Anyways, my Mom rocks because she made my watch MELT (she ironed it) , which means....

HEY BIBU I REALLY DO NEED A NEW WATCH! *shows empty wrist*

But I want my old watch back also. Mustafa here I come!

I'm BURSTING.

2008-09-13T00:34:00.004+08:00

Everyday I will never fail to say " I FEEL SO FULL"
I'm the accomplice for MISSION NICE HOT CHOCOLATE ( So far, none from all we've tried.)
And on top of CHOCOLATE, I eat and eat.

I don't want to throw my new jeans away so fast by bursting through them!
