so strange, i kept letting gas at work ytd.
GAA.
hopefully no one noticed =D
it wasnt often nor alot, but still.

my personal life is so boring now.
work, read, jigsaw, sleep, fret about money.
so mundane.

drove with a slight stiff pain in my neck today.
yesterday, i couldn't turn my head right properly.
luckily it's mostly gone today.
else driving would be hazardous.
HEH.

Saturday 28 March 2009

i'm finally clean!
YAYE.
can barely feel my legs anymore.
prolly the first and last overnight cycling.
HEH.

started cycling at 6pm ytd evening.
then cycled leftwards to some bridge.
sat down on the grass to play cards.
kz's bag had EVERYTHING, from mats to torchlight.
so well prepared,
made me feel so inadequately equipped.
then cycled back to have dinner at the hawker centre.
i have to admit,
this is my FAVOURITE part.
HEE.
ordered loads, had chicken wing *eyes gleam*, satay, carrot cake, oyster eggy plate, spicy kangkong *kz kept scolding joshua abt this, aha*, spicy stingray and sugar cane.
came up to abt 68 bucks total.
after dinner, went by the water sports lake.
tried to take shadow pics,
aha! jap camera's too powerful alr la.
took group pics,
but mostly messed up by kz and his ghostly effects.
then cycled rightwards to find shelter.
had 5 pitstops/stoning sessions.
aha!
then played with the candles,
our somewhat convincing heart shape.
then slept a little bit.
but kept feeling creepy crawlies on me =S
woke up at 6 plus,
ached like hell, GAA.
ate macs and rotted there, waiting for 9am!
so painful, here there everywhere.
but i conquered!
feel so accomplished =D
and when the ache subsides,
then i can finally have the mindset to say it was good.
right now,
i'm still feeling a hundred years old.

it's really clear cut actually.
you make your own choice,
you're either here or there.
looks like you made yours.

Thursday 26 March 2009

daddy seems pleased with the com screen.
he's been playing freecell more often.
i think it's coz the freecell cards are bigger now,
easier on the eyes =)

tonight it's just me and daddy at home.
sister's on call, mummy's doing her hair.
the house feels more peaceful,
less noisy.
or maybe not,
what with him clicking his pen and smacking it against the table top.
hmm.

i have 2 dreams now.
one is to get the sony vaio CS26G in blazing red.
=D
but sony is uber ex.
and daddy's banking on his 4D to help me get it.
=S
shall shop less now,
and chip in part of the price.

and my other dream,
to learn another piano piece.
not sure what to learn this time.
probably (omt, i almost forgot how to spell that word) kiss the rain.

reading the joy luck club by amy tan now.
must keep up my english language.
feel like it's slipping.
GAA.
the book, it's interesting,
mixture of chinese traditions and the american lifestyle from a chinese's point of view.

i didn't do sit ups yesterday night.
OH NO.
coz i felt tired by the walk from j8 to home.
weak skinny steph =(

Tuesday 24 March 2009

did a little bit of exercise today.
which made me feel somewhat proud.
ok, immensely proud.
for fighting against and overcoming my leg's wishes.
walked from the bishan sports hall back home.
that's about 2 bus stops distance.
it's the most exercise i've done since the bball session at ahmin's!
WOOHOO.
good accomplishment, steph.
*beams*

and about the bishan sports hall.
the badminton courts are fully book tmw and thursday night!
GAA.
now how??
let's go bowling or do something else?

today was the 14th lesson.
did u-turning, the narrows: S course and crank course.
much easier than doing a right turn actually.
doing a right turn is my achilles' heel.
cant aim for the lane properly.
ARGH.
sometimes turn too much, almost hitting the centre divider.
or turning too late, then touch the left lane.
so frustrating.
am quite surprised i did better for the narrow courses than the right turn.

have this sudden urge to buy a bicycle.
so i can go round my neighbourhood.
and feel the wind in my hair.
=D
plus i'll be exercising too.
HEH.

yesterday morning marked the first day.
the first day of a 3-week-SIAN stint.

wow, and i just realised,
this com screen is so big,
i dont have to scroll down webpages as much as i used to.
WHEE.

Sunday 22 March 2009

finally my main com is up and working!
shall try to get used to it asap.
but not quite so excited about the new com.


anyway, it's been a good week.
busy and energy-absorbing, but satisfying.
had 2 stayovers, which did quite a bit of destruction to my face.
but it was fun, mostly surprised myself at the staying-up ability of mine.
first time, i stayed up till 4.30 and felt like i could keep going.
then the second, was till 5am.
woohoo, i'm getting better.
next time, i wont have to catch a wink at all.


and this week, i got myself a new bedside lamp.
a nice green flower print lamp to match my yellow walls.
and i'm almost halfway through my 1000 piece jigsaw.
which is a brilliant shot of a beach and island and sky.
yaye, it shall make my room look like a beach resort.
what with the yellow walls and huge jigsaw.
hunting for a nice bookcase to go below the jigsaw.
but the bookcases at ikea are so freaking ex!
hmm, ok, maybe not so, but to me it is.


and this week, i learnt to reverse and do directional changing.
it was quite fun.
but mounted kerb once, heh.


and this week, i worked two nights only.
whee.
the doctor closed the clinic on thurs.
plus, next week, i'm only working tmw.
whee.
doctor's on leave for wed and thurs.
starting to really hate working there.
or maybe, i'm starting to hate working. FULL STOP.
gaa.
even my mother thinks i'm like that.
she told me to take up the shortest uni course, business.
then get a degree and get married asap.
so i dont have to study or work.
great plan.
but not realistic.
=D


and this week, i met him every single day.
from the day he pop-ed.
feeling so selfish.
but i cant help it.
3 weeks till then.
oh wells.


and this week, i've been reading quite a lot.
still reading breaking dawn.
more than halfway through.
and kane, i did read jacob's story =D
coz otherwise how to get the whole story?
and i wasnt tempted to skip jacob's part at all.
but breaking dawn seems abit long winded.
and the writing seems simpler.
also read five people you meet in heaven by mitch albom.
it's a really smart piece of work and much planning behind for the story line.
read tuesdays with morrie too.
mainly about life lessons.
must say he's a good writer.

Wednesday 18 March 2009

i'm so lazy to blog nowadays!
maybe coz it's so mahfun to type my super long email address at the log in page.
heh.

anyway, applying uni course now.
since 9.30 pm actually, till now.
and i'm only done with nus and half of ntu's.
SIAN.
the application process is so mahfun.
must write appraisal and my qualities.

oyah!
went IT fair on sunday.
WHEE.
had a good shou huo from the fair.
a brand new royal /dark blue 320G external hard disk.
so chio!
my new bao bei.
transferred my stuff from old com over.
and only took up 4G of the space, aha!
oyah, and the thing cheat my feelings.
supposed to have 320G, only let me use 297G.
where's my other 20plus G???
poots.
and my 2nd part of the shou huo =D
a brand new 23 inch computer!
WOOHOO.
but i think the screen's too big for my liking.
it's like when i play games then must turn my head from side to side.
and the mouse and keyboard are wireless!
but the mouse moves too fast for me.
HEH.
it's like i shift my hand the usual old way.
and PHOOM the arrow shoots across the screen.
overshot le =S

anyway, abit sad about the bintan thing.
seems like it wont materialise.
so it'll be a bbq + stayover at kz's house!
woohoo.
but this time must have more games and activities.
coz from what i heard abt last time?

4 more months to getting my own laptop =DD

Tuesday 10 March 2009

when someone said A level phase is difficult,
was he talking about the choosing of uni courses??
coz it's somewhat a tough decision.
you have to do your homework researching about the many courses.
and deciding what career you want in the future.
was really lost at the first part.
but i guess i've started deciding,
it should start falling into place soon.

for me,
i've decided to become a teacher.
probably teaching mathematics.
that uni path is so confusing!
didn't know how to even begin,
like choosing which uni course then apply to NIE,
or applying straight to NIE now.
but any oh how, i'm going to take a uni course,
then apply to NIE.
that's what i've been adviced to do
oO
EE, my blog is getting stale.
sigh.
visitor/tag count is dropping.
aha!
hmph.




nus and ntu open houses this coming weekend.
girls and guys, let's all go together!
then wont be so sian yupps.

Saturday 7 March 2009

looks like we dont have to go to sentosa for a sun burn.
AHA.
now everyone's like me, red faced.
ok, maybe not everyone.




i'm so tired.




it doesnt matter.
just go ahead.
dont bother me.




we worried about our results.
now we worry about what courses we can take.
then after, we worry whether we can get in.
then after after, we worry about our first uni exam.
this never stops, does it?
sigh.
life of a being.

Thursday 5 March 2009

God must be really busy now.
actually, He must have been, since the time they announced result day.
so busy listening to the same prayers from many different people.
me included =D




the weird thing is,
we stay under the same roof,
but we barely see each other.
me and my screwed working hours.




wonder what's beyond tmw's release of result.
i mean, i won't commit suicide if *touch wood* something bad happens, would i?
this is MAJOR.
oh gosh, oh gosh, oh gosh.
it's raining so heavily now.
what does that mean?
tears of sorrow today,
tears of joy tmw =)
clique!
we'll meet at 10am tmw k, finalized timing.
=D
10 am outside thomson post office.
cya there!
i got my first month's pay ytd!
=D
didn't think i'll last that long in that job.
HEH.
but anw, getting the pay in cash feels so much better than getting it wired straight into my account.
it's like i can actually FEEL what i earn.
whee.

Wednesday 4 March 2009

i was in the shower.
and i had an epiphany.
of what i would be working as in the future.

but first is to train myself for my job.
which coincidentally but obliviously is done by my father.
living with my father has more shortcomings than benefits that i can think of.
but one main benefit is that it trains me to be PATIENT.
and TOLERANT.
thus i shall start my training today =D




ntu stabbing episode.
david hartanto widjaja.
sounds familiar. HMM.
sounds like the name of that indonesian patient who came to the clinic last week.
shall check the records at the clinic tmw.




expect little.
to avoid disappointment =)

Monday 2 March 2009

okey dokey, so the result day is confirmed alr.
dont freak out.
.
.
.
AHHHH.
GAA.
shoots.
*attempts zen mode*
not working!
4 more days.
i can live that.

ANW,
prata day is confirmed then!
finally some headway.

so prata day's on this friday.
meet at thomson's post office outside.
10.30 am.
=D

Sunday 1 March 2009

anw,
BINTAN UPDATE...

location >> nirwana gardens
hotel >> nirwana resort hotel
activities >> water sports at nirwana beach club
duration >> 3D2N
departure >> 1st week of april

=D
more details soon!
sometimes it's not the right time, or the right person to say something to.
woohoo!
i'm a happy girl =))
this feels great.
and i'm not going to let ANYTHING ruin my mood.
[not even you who's stealing my job, aha!]

anw i'm zipping off to the land of the rising sun during my birthday month!
YAYE.
mother says not to let anyone know.
but letting people know about this WONT HURT.
i know when to keep my mouth shut or open.
but anw, i'm so excited.
=D




from today onwards,
there'll be a section called BINTAN UPDATES.
it's to record the progress of getting our bintan trip ready and sorted out to departure date!
whee.
hope it'll be a success.

so today:
BINTAN UPDATE...
hmm,
in the midst of hunting for the best deals for hotel and packages offered by the MANY travel agencies.
and omt, i've never seen such a LONG list.
the list of travel agencies in singapore covers over 21 webpages *eyes boggle out of sockets*
i've only gone through 10 webpages.
and each webpage has prolly 30 -40 agencies.
but LUCKILY some of these agencies dont have websites.
which saves me a little bit of time.
aha!

and just a sidenote here,
most of the common hotels offered have room prices hovering about 100 bucks per night.
and since it's a 3D2N trip,
you do the math.
HEE.
and we'll be plonking ourselves in bintan from singapore by ferry.
that's what the agencies offer.
or would you prefer going over there by air?
tagboard your choice!
