Whizzing down the road at nite.
Feeling the wind brushing against your face, your hands, your legs.
Those moments felt great. It has been a long time since i went bike-riding, as a 'pillion' of course. The first ride occured when i was barely 17. Was working as an admin assistant. Being the youngest in the company, i was given the task to get lunch for everyone. (stupid) And yes, i rode with my colleague on his bike. Was a nervous wreck then. Feelings of apprehension and skepticism. I was so worried that the bike might topple or whatsoever.
3 years later. I rode again and yes, as a 'pillion' again! I did ever consider getting a bike license. But it will definitely scare the hell outta' mom and dad. So guess car license will be my first priority. Prolly i'ii learn it secretly tho. =p

Time passes so quickly that i can no longer keep track. School shall be starting in 3 weeks time. To think i thought that we still have much time to slack around. But then again, i haven't been studying for about a year. I miss school. Working life is so different. SAP was a good working experience. But sometimes, i really wonder if i had make a mistake of opting for 6 months attachment.
The SMU camp was good. Make many new friends. I think they are funny. Most came from the JCs and are all English-speaking. Yes, given my horrendous chinois, i have no problems blending in. But guess what, our group name was kinda cheena.
What do you people think of "Tiu Tiu 86"? =)
And our group actually drew the Chinese character '86' on the flag. It certainly resembles the name of some secret society or sect. We did kayaking, dragon-boating, trekking and stuff. Seldom see me doing sports hur. =) It was really fun tho.
Saw the flag?
At Cdans Country Club. Min was so near, yet so far away from me.
Eating lunch can be sooo difficult at times.

We were Entrepreneurs on sunday. Business was brisk NOT.
The weather hasn't been favourable for us, as well as the potential buyers at the flea market. The rain plays an important factor for the lack of crowd. As well as the day, being the 7th day of the week. Every family should be heading off to granny's place or having some bonding session.
All 3 of us did manage to sell a few pieces tho. So not too bad. Actually i was there "for fun". Wanted to get the feel of selling my own stuff. It was a great feeling selling off my first piece. =) Time passed really quickly. Sis came. As well as fang. And once again, we were all camera-whoring again.
HJ didnt turn up. Aww, i miss her.
I made those price tags. Green. I simply adore this color.
Mr Ckk, we have chairs there y'know. =)
Okay, he has the last laugh. His first ten-dollar.
Nada, we prefer camera-whoring.
I like this effect. Fang, your new-phone is goooooddd. My face was all puff-up tho. >,<
The vintage look.
Flea marketing was fun overall. That's the bottom line.

Track back to Saturday. Ser celebrated her Birthday at Liquid Room. Yes, i was really drained out from the SMU camp. Think i have piled on much concealer to my panda-eyes. Must look pretty for the birthday girl y'know. Apparently, quite a number didnt turn up. I know she was disappointed. Take it easy ya babe. It happens. Hence, i am expecting the same scenario on my birthday celebration too. =)
Liquid Room was so packed. Crowd was bad. But music was good tho. Poseurs. Irritating loud people. Bad pick-up lines. And i think Ser and Kesh gotten some unwanted attention. One consolation. The DJ was quite cute tho. =) And yes, A lil' shoutout to Ser, Happy Birthday Babe. =p
|9:38 PM|
Sometimes, i don't mind taking charge.
At other times, i hope that people would do the job.
It aint the case of too many opinions from too many people. When a decision can't be make, i would receive comments like : "I am fine with anything." Seriously, that does not make things easier cause very often, it turns out as what is NOT expected.
"I am fine with anything." Okay, i'ii make the decision then. When that happens, i'ii receive protests against my decision. It's like, what the...! I thought you're all fine with anything. Contradicting isn't it? That's how weird people behave.
sigh.
That aside. On a lighter note, i'ii be going for my SMU camp from tomorrow till friday. Prolly be mia-ing for this entire week. Given the recent rainy weather, i think this camp is gonna be, wet. Really wet. It seems that most of my groupmates were from jcs. They kept chatting about their 'Air-Levels'. Well, education-gap tho. Poly grads seemed so few at SMU.
Doubt i can have a good rest after camp. On sat, Serene dearest will be celebrating her birthday. And yes, even though i might be there for a couple of hours, i did promise her that I"II BE THERE. See this babe? =)
And yes, one announcement to make. Anyone who is free on this Sunday, the 24th July, do make a trip down to Timberlux Center. It's pretty near to Zouk tho. There would be a flea market going on. And of course, i'ii be selling la. Coreen and Ckk would be there too. Don't bring things for me to sell cause i am packed with soooo many stuff too. =) Sis have way too many clothes man!

my 8 months
Added : Congrats to my dearest kettle on appearing in yesterday's Sunday Times. Baby, i am so glad for ya. =) Miss ya so much.
8 months.
Nope, not 8 months anniversary. It's 8 months of singlehood. Prolly more to come. And yes, i am still one happy girl. Okay, kinda contradicting from my previous post. =p I aint saying singlehood is good. All girls need to be loved y'know. But still, dont be desperate.
In these 8 months, i lived an independent life. I admit this. Asking me to get into another relationship within that first 2 months was tempting. I needed my support. But fortunately, there aint anyone suitable to gimme that. Ya, i am selective and careful.
Well, this period of time gave me the chance to go out and see the many different kinds of guys existing. I am just gonna name four. There was a Mr Nice Guy, Mr DumbAss, Mr SugarDaddy and Mr Curious. Just to get the record straight, i aint interested in them. Just that these 4 has created an impact in my life. Both positive and negative ones.
Mr Nice Guy.
Met him last year through mutual friends. Yes, he is nice to everyone. Friends simply adore him. This guy is almost extinct. Still single and available. Haha. Prolly i might do a lil' advertising for him in my future entries. Let's just keep him annoymous for a time being.
Mr DumbAss.
This dude is simply the worst creature i have ever came across. Wonder what is he doing on earth. Think he belong to Mars, where aliens originated. He is the most disgusting person ever lived on earth. Think my doggy behaves even better than him. And i think he is most sexually-deprived male species here.
He was telling me this in the past : "No, dont tell me that you're not into ONS? I like babies y'know. When can we implement our B-project?"
I never thought that men can be so crude. Maybe there is but i never thought that i'ii meet one! Dope! I hate him.
Mr SugarDaddy.
SugarDaddy works at my previous company. He is 39. I am 20. He kept asking for dates and duh! I don date guys that old. Almost 20 years my senior. Goodness. He was still asking me if he sounded desperate. I had to lie.
Yes, he was telling me stuff like supporting me financially, having the ability to buy me this and that. During my working stint at that company, i avoided walking near his desk. And he constantly lingered around my desk instead. I had to act busy or frantically dial my friends number to have a short chat. Sometimes, no one was available and i had to resort to talking to an "imaginary friend" on my cellphone. Ya, i know it sounded freaky of me. But i think that SugarDaddy was freakier.
Mr Curious.
Mr Curious is seriously curious about anything under the sun. Anything that he doesnt know, he'ii ask. Yes, he is very persistant in finding the answers. But he has met his match. Mel Ooi don call me a "stubborn girl" for nothing. Haha. I remembered refraining myself from telling him some stuff. He was like, dying of curiosity.
Other than curious, he belongs to the nice-guy category too. This guy treated me for a cakey-indulgence at BakersInn. We were food connoisseur for that day. Sampling 3 different cakes: Mango mousse, Walnut cheesecake and Strawberry Shortcake. They were all fabulous.
The cakes may gotten me happier but the one thing that lifted my mood was the effort he puts in to cheer me up. Yes, he is good to all his friends as well. Also single and available.

Guess only good guys are single and available. The rejected ones are well, i donno. But that's good for all girls out there, isn't it? =)

Feeling so down. Why?
The last thing i wanna hear is this:
"You should have confident in yourself. People should accept you for who you are. Dont feel so down. "
First and foremost, i do always have confident in myself. But i cant always do that 24/7. I cant always feel happy for the rest of my life. Much as i want to achieve that, it just aint possible. But i tried to fulfil the next best thing. And that is to stay positive as much as i can.
Next, i agree that people should accept me for who i am. And this have NEVER been an issue for me at all. As mentioned, true friends would accept me. The rest, "I am better off without you." Remember this sentence? Initially, it might hurt when your friends judge you. But as time goes by, you'ii just leave things as it is.
Lastly, asking me not to feel down is as good as asking you not to breathe. Not that i wanna be sad and stuff but really, no one can constantly put a smile on their faces rite? What i want is a listening ear and maybe even a comforting shoulder for me to lean on. Not telling me that i shouldnt behave like this or like that.
Yes, i do have my share of complaints and grievances. But i do try to do something about it. Very often, however, it aint what i always hope for.
CKk came over yesterday. Think it was the first time he didnt sees any "sunshine" in me. That's why at times, i don wish to meet my friends in my state. Just don wanna spread the gloomy-ness to them. This dude treated me to a Mac's sundae once i told him that ice cream makes people happy. Thanks anyway. I guess that's what friends are for right?
More ice cream to come. gimme low fat ice cream leh. Gimme gimme!

We are now singing to the tune of Blaque.
I am good I am good without you.
I am good I am good.
I am good I am good without you.
I am good I am good.
The reason being the latest addition to our bachelorettes' club. Jun is now very single and available. I have absolutely nothing to rejoice about except for the fact that she can FINALLY club with me. Haha. She used to be pretty restricted in her late nites. Other than that, I am definitely crying with this lass. Good friends cry together y'know.
Seems like my gfs in the bloggy are stuck in singlehood. With the exception of 2 girlies who are currently dating tho. Poly gfs are single. And strangely, The STC lasses are attached. Sort of actually. It seems like a matter of time that Mel Ooi gets together with Jack. And Eileen girl is experiencing a period of bliss with Nhat.
Not that I encourage spinsterhood, oops, singlehood I mean. But i have to STRESS that there should NOT be any rushing into relationships. Take the time to understand each other cause very often, people commit the mistake of rushing.
End result: Back to spinsterhood again.
We are ONLY 20. We can afford to waste time. But do spare a thought for your potential significant other. Don't waste their time. It's unfair. Yes, that's why for these past 7 months, i am still singing to the tune of Blaque. Actually nopee. It ought to be Natasha Bedingfield's Single. =)
Celebrated Marc's 20th Birthday at Raffles Town Club. Pretty grand. I cant imagine his 21st Birthday tho. His parents really dote on him lots. Yesterday was a lil' disorganized. The group that came was kinda huge. Leaving the batch and poly friends stranded for a slight while. I could tell that Melissa was already on the verge of going to slumberland. Hahaha. She is funny.
I was pretty energetic. Ser was still surviving tho.
No clubbing yesterday. All of us head to Grapevine at Serangoon. Coincidently, Mr Ckk was there with his friends too. Tried RumDaiquiri. A lil' bitter tho. The bartender was generous with the rum. It supposed to be a sweet drink tho. The guys ordered HoeGaarden. Ser told me the theory of "Mixing Dark and Light". Hence, decided not to go for Lamborghini. Doubt Tref has the energy to carry me home! =)
I am off to bed. Overwork. Yes, i work on Sundays. Kill me pls.
My brain is fried. Screwed. My voice is coarse. My eyes turned into @_@. Lollipops!
My limbs are numbed. Cheap labour. No, it's free labour. Slavery.
I still have a morning job tmr till 5pm.
I am stumbling off to lalala~~ land. Darn. I am going nuts.
But wait, before i go, here's one important message. But i doubt you'ii read it.
Tekong no internet leh. Haha.
Happy Happy Birthday!

(Part 2) Saint Theresa's Convent
We held our Prom at Raffles Town Club on November 30th 2001. And guess what? No guys. Shucks. Prom nite' with the girlies. It wasnt that bad anyway. Heard from the committee that STC did invite Saint Pat's guys. And they rejected us. Dopes. Why? We not good enough for them?
Saint Pat's went on to invite CHIJ Katong Girls for their prom. Well well, they were rejected.Talk about retribution tho.
I still keep the prom ticket tho. $60 bucks. I remembered that it was a Buffet dinner. It wasnt even a 4-course meal. NP's prom had better foodie.
Prom Nite' 2001
Our prom pic. Most girls turned up in black. Hence, i didnt wanna go with black. Chose purple. We all looked damm old man. Considering the fact that we were only 16. Even the hair stylist thought that i was 18 or 19. Darn.
.
.
.
.
Prom Nite' 2005
That's why for NP prom, i went with Yellow. Emily and i came up with this "No black, no white, no pink" policy. Yeah, prolly light yellow make me look chubbier but then, it doesnt really matter. Actually i did have a hair style in mind. Due to time contraints, i couldnt get that desired style. Something which i really regretted. But, nothing is perfect tho.
Haha. Saw the difference at STC prom and NP Prom? I think i might look much younger at NP prom. =p
.

On STC Graduation Day, everyone wore white. We were like angels. It was compulsory tho. I donno about the rest of the IJs schools. Mom, Dad and i. People says dad looks young. Oi dad, people compliment you leh. So be a nice boy and don get so grumpy everytime k. =p
My five besties from Saint Theresa's. Still keeping in close contact with 2 of them. Mel and eileen resepectively. We were all standing outside our Sec 4 Classroom tho. Blue and white. Even the classrooms were painted in Convent colors. Goodness. So holy.
I wonder how i'ii look on NP Grad tho. Blazers? Power suits? We shall see. (:
|2:55 PM|
Lately, i have been getting the giddy spells. Donno if it's because of the weather. Nearly blacked out at PS last sat. Was with sis doing some shopping when dad called us. I was speaking to him when my head became heavy.
Didn't want dad to suspect anything, i passed the phone to sis immediately. For that 5-10mins, i was leaning against the wall. Couldnt walk. And when i managed to, it seemed like i was walking towards the left. Asking me to walk a straight line at that moment is something i just cant do.
Think my head is screwed. Friends have ask me to see the doc. Prolly i'ii just wait and see. On sat nite, Del was still asking me to club. Haha. I was extremely tempted. Guess the clubber's thing in me havent died off. ANyway, that dude headed off to Obar without me! Damm.

Well, getting involved with a married man. What's your say? I am open to opinions. One of sis's friend or rather, acquaintance is having one. She is 24. He is 35. Both working in the same company. Yeah, a typical office affair.
As far as married man or man who are attached is involved, i am definitely against getting close to such people. The label, mistress, slut, biatch, dont go hand-in-hand with my name. And don forget my reputation too.
Seriously, it just aint ethical to be the third party in a relationship, or worse, a marriage. God didnt create you to be a home-wreaker. So dont be. How would you feel when someone else comes between you and him? Start cursing? Or practise hitting voodoo dolls? I know there would be ladies who goes sponging off the guys' income. "My money is mine. But his money aint his, it's mine too." Sounds familiar?
Siao! Gold-digger.
But of course, not all third parties are the vicious people around. At times, it is a real case of "fallen in love". Some fell sooo deeply until they wont mind the shame that they have brought upon themselves and the guy. Well, love is blind, isnt it?
Actually, the real culprit should be the man himself. Jerk! Cheating on both his wife and lover.
I shallnt pass much judgement here tho. Cause i don really know what is going on. Just wanna analyse the situation. But i am just glad that my gfs aint like that. Nah, i know they wont. They have their morals and dignity. And so do i.
|2:22 PM|
When Rachel mentioned in her bloggy that women should learn how to cook and do housework, i share the same sentiments.
Gaining domestic skills have certainly put us at an advantage over other girls. And no, i aint gonna be a housewife. On the contrary, being a career woman seemed like a more ideal path.
Thanks to Rach, i have bake a mango cake successfully. But not without experiencing failure tho. I had actually bake 2 cakes on thursday. The first one failed. All crumbled up. Was kinda disappointed actually. But no, i didnt give up. Bake another one. =)
And yeap, the feedback gotten was positive. Had promised a couple of friends that i would bake again. Prolly one more before school starts. Any suggestions? Durian? Peach? =)
I regretted not using the digi-cam. Just the phone cam. But pics are pretty clear tho.
1) 
2) 
3) 
4)

Hope you all can visualized tho. the cake was kinda burn BUT crisp. I love it. =)

Met up with the girls yesterday at Bugis. Not much updates from them. Think everybody is leading a pretty normal life. At the very last hour, we caused so much commotion that passer-bys were looking. The meeting was short but meaningful. Min was persuading me to Wala. Nah, i rejected. I don like the idea of carrying too many things to pubbing / clubbing. And i don think an x-ray result would be an ideal thing to bring to wala.
Speaking of that, was at Raffles Hospital for a compulsory SMU medical health check. Boy, it was crowded.
Y'know, my birthday is like one month plus later. i cant help but getting excited bout' the celebration. =p And yes, i have already book fang, jun and min for either club momo or latte. Gonna call wen too. This year, no one is gonna influence me on who to invite. I am caling the shots. OKay, Tref too. He is the birthday boy. I know true friends would turn up. As for others, i am better off without you.
