Got lost

Good day people! I have BIG news. My dad, finally allowed me to drive out alone! Haha! Wonderful ain't it? Was supposed to meet the 1B17 gang today for Kenny's farewell as well as a mini-gathering. I guess my "nagging" and "persuasion" finally got into my dad's ears. Hahaha! And I suppose he realised that sooner or later, he'd have to let me drive on my own. Might as well now. Muahahahaha. We watched Jacky Jackie Chan's new show. "New Police Story" or something. Haha. It's hilarious! Worth $7.50 alright, people. Watch it when you need a good laugh, 'cos I sure had a mighty good laugh!! Except the part where Mira spilt half a bucket of popcorn on me. -_-!!! But still. It was a GREAT show. Lotsa funny parts, lotsa touching parts, lotsa "drool-worthy" guys, i.e. Daniel Wu (Baddie), Lian Kai (Cop who died in the first 15mins), Nicholas Tse (Funny guy) and there was Wu Bai and Wang Jie. Yes. THAT Wang Jie who sang Ni Shi Wo Xiong Kou Yong Yuan De Tong. Most of the cops who died in that first 15mins were "drool-worthy" too. Ooh. I forgot the main point of this entry. I got lost! I was supposed to go town! But I got out of the wrong exit, and I ended up at Thomson, where I made a wrong turn and ended up at Novena Square and United Square, where I made YET another WRONG turn and I ended up at Farrer Park (!!??!), where I had to "U" turn and get back to Newton Circus, where I made another wrong turn, and ended up at KK Hospital where I finally found the sign that read "Newton Circus". BUT! I made a wrong turn and ended up at Newton Circus Food Centre carpark, where I had to "U" turn to finally get back to Stevens Road. Where I was supposed to be, 15 mins earlier. Gah. Moral of the story. One wrong turn leads to another. o_O!!! But anyways, I managed to remain calm. And eventually, I found the way to Town. Ha. I started out at 7:35pm anyways, I reached town at 8:30pm. Hahahahaha! Could've taken the MRT and reached there at the same time. Lesson learnt anyways. At least now I know the way to town! After the show, when we went to the carpark to get our cars, I couldn't find the car! Kenny brought us walking in circles trying to find my car which I parked at the 5th level at Shaw Towers. Shaw Towers (or is it Plaza? Complex?) has this COMPLICATED level system where the Isetan part of the building and the actual building shares 2 levels to 1 lift level. So I had to take the lift to 4th floor. Or something. Which is actually the 5th floor of the building. Something like that. Talk about freaking out. Getting lost is one thing. Losing your car is another thing! Gah. What would dad say! Sheesh. Anyhows, managed to retrieve the car. I took Kenny ("driving instructor"), Jesse ("terrified girl") and Mira ("the calm one"). Kenny had the "Driving Instructor Syndrome" where he had an "imaginary brake pedal" and the tendency to say "clear". As in "clear" for changing lanes and reversing and stuff. Heh. It's weird. It's like having Dad in the passenger seat again! Wahahaha. Kidding. I understand his "kind" intentions. I couldn't parallel park again. Damn. We went to Simpang (again!? I know.) and there was a parallel parking slot. It's those "one-car" space. With motorcycles infront and behind of it. Anyways, I couldn't get the car to straighten and I kept striking the damned kerb. So Kenny took over. Hahahaha. Ok, he's the "parallel parking guru". But he can't differentiate "left" and "right". Ok, it was a great day after all. And I'm tired. And I missed the first episode of "America's Next Top Model". Darn. I'm outta here.

Insomnia Go Away!

Put Your Head On My Shoulder /Paul Anka Put your head on my shoulder Hold me in your arms, baby Squeeze me oh so tight Show me that you love me too Put your lips next to mine, dear Won't you kiss me once, baby Just a kiss goodnight, may be You and I will fall in love People say that love's a game A game you just can't win If there's a way I'll find it someday And then this fool will rush in Put your head on my shoulder Whisper in my ear, baby Words I want to hear Tell me, tell me that you love me too. Put your head on my shoulder Whisper in my ear, baby Words I want to hear, baby Put your head on my shoulder.
Heard the NUS Wind Symphony play at the Botanical Gardens this evening. "Mr James Chia" (He doesn't like me calling him that, but I'm just quoting) was performing. My, my. Was he a popular guy or what! He had at least 20 people supporting him, and just him alone. -__-!!! Talk about being popular. If I had known he had so many people supporting him, I probably wouldn't have gone. I didn't even manage to find where he was. Hahaha. I didn't know what instrument he was playing and which section he was sitting at. So decided to just enjoy the performance. The conductor's funny though. He kept thanking us for the applause, kept introducing the band (This is NUS Wind Symphony, o_O, ya, like we know already?) and he was pretty funny to look at from the backview. Very animated. But I guess all conductors are like that. Nelson Kwei was like that too, if not MORE animated. Nonetheless, it was a great performance. They played many favourite hits. Including the one above, Paul Anka's Put Your Head on my Shoulder, I absolutely love that song. Snippets of it only, though. And there was also "Somewhere Out there" and ABBA favourites. These bands seem to like playing ABBA alot. "Mama Mia" being one of them. Didn't stay after the performance as it was getting dark. And I didn't want to get lost. So we left after the encore performance. When we left it was slightly after 7. Apparently we got out of the wrong exit, which took us to Cluny Park or something. Lots of huge houses with driveways. -_-!!! Sheesh. Some even had guardhouses. Cows. Rich people estate. They must go to the Botanical Gardens very often since it's just opposite. LOL. So we ended up taking a cab to Commonwealth. -_-!!! Can you imagine!! We were like so far from where we started! We came from Orchard! But when we left the Gardens, we ended up at Commonwealth! What the.. And worst of all, it's a different MRT Line! Commonwealth is East-West, Orchard is North-South, FYI. Hahahaha. Really quite amusing. Got us freaked out for awhile, never been to this part of the island before. Gah! Then when I reached Tampines, Daddy on his way to fetch me home. Kangwei called. o_O!!! Asking me to go KTv. This is like the third time he's asking me and the third time I'm turning it down. Argh. I just hate it when people ask me to go out at the last minute especially when I'm already on my way home, or having a BBQ at home. So it's no surprise this time that I had to tell him, "Sorry, I can't make it." Haha, sorry I can't bid you farewell before you go to NS. Lotsa guys going into NS this week eh? Kenny, Edmond, Kangwei just to name a few. We're gonna "farewell" Kenny either on Sunday or Monday. Hahaha. Gonna be "botak" soon!!! Yippee!! I've been hit by insomnia. I've been trying to sleep since 10pm. I managed to fall asleep. Until I woke up at 1am. Dumb. Saw 3 messages. Two from Mira asking us to come online to discuss Kenny's farewell party. Haha. They'd decided on Monday. But we're changing it. To Sunday. Because Kenny Chan isn't free on Monday. One from Shuling asking me how come she couldn't type in her blog. o_O!!! Eh? She has a blog? Eh? What does she mean she can't type? Since I couldn't sleep, I came online to help. Hahaha. She was still online! Figuring out how to change the template. I'm finally feeling abit sleepier, after being online for 1 hour. Hahaha. Been trying to blog for 1hr. I almost did something just now. But I suppose it's not time yet. And I suppose it never will be time. Well, it's just too bad. The secret shall die with me. Out.

I forgot

In the midst of it all, I forgot one very important thing. I've got wonderful friends supporting me, loving me and caring for me. Who needs a boyfriend when you have such wonderful friends like mine? I've got Karen, Rach, Nad, Ouyang, Terry, Derrick, Shuling, Riv, Zhenting and more! And I'm thankful for them. Never once have I taken you guys for granted. Just wanted to let you guys know. I'm really grateful for having you all. To all my friends: I love you guys! And I thank the heavens above for bringing you guys into my life!!!

I lied

Please tell me the truth. If I told you, would you still be the same? Would we still be the same? I just want to know. But maybe I don't. The only reason I'm holding back is because I don't know how you would react if you knew. Would you avoid me? Would you shun me? Would you ignore me? I lied. I'm a big, fat liar. Ok, I'm not big and not fat. But I lied to you. Forgive me. I just couldn't give you the answer. I don't want to spoil anything. And because of that, I broke my own heart. I don't allow anyone else to break my heart. It's MY heart. I'll break it myself. Get it clear. You didn't break my heart. I broke it myself. So don't feel bad. Don't even think of feeling sorry for me. I don't need your sympathy. I just need your friendship. I'm not being noble. It's purely for selfish and personal reasons. I want your friendship. That's why I don't wish to tell you. It's not because I don't want to trouble you nor frustrate you. I'm also afraid of your reaction. I'm a coward. I feel like a yo-yo. Being thrown out to the end of my string and at the flick of your wrist, I get pulled back. Like as if nothing happened. I don't like how it feels. I still owe you something. And I hope when I fulfill that, I would have recovered. But a broken heart will never be the same again. Even though it has recovered, there'll still be lines of weaknesses and to overcome that, it makes itself even stronger. To prevent itself from breaking again. And that's not always good. Yet. Love like you've never loved before. Cry like you've never cried before. Once is enough though. Love is a game. And it's not just a two-player game. It's a multi-player network game. I'm out of this game. Love is like a dream. But I've woken up too early.

It's all my fault

Argh. I'm feeling so troubled now. Troubled troubled troubled. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have. If I didn't, you wouldn't have. Then I wouldn't be so troubled now. I brought it upon myself. Argh. Stupid me. But how was I supposed to know? That you would.. If I knew, I wouldn't have. I really wouldn't have. Bah. ______________________________________ A wasted trip to town today. I only bought a ring. A miserable ring. All the way there and I only bought a ring. Argh. But it's nice ring. So there. Bah. I'm in a terrible mood. And I cannot blame anyone. But myself.

Hello Sunny, Byebye Cefiro!

Today's quite a day. Ask Karen and Shuling and you'll know. Haha! Inside joke. Collected the Sunny today. Kinda miss the Cefiro though. This is the first time I've ever gone with Dad together to collect the new car. Sigh! I miss the Cefiro! It's the first car I drove after I got my license. Sigh.
Sigh~ You served us well! I'll miss you!
Posted by Hello
Bye bye!!
Posted by Hello
Mummy with Cefiro
Posted by Hello Argh. Never mind. The old one needs to go for the new one to come! Hah. Oh wells, the new car's pretty good. But I suppose that's because it's new. It's more suitable for me too! Because it's smaller.

And also, we don't have to keep topping up the petrol so frequently anymore! I hope that saves us some money. Hah. I've turned our office into a mini-mart. With my collection of Lemon Puffs, marshmellows, Loacker biscuits and Famous Amos! Haha! Oops. Recently, I've taken a liking to Lemon Puffs. It's yummy! And mummy dearest bought me a big pack of them yesterday! Haha! Thanks Mum!
marshmellows!
Posted by Hello Then I accompanied Dad to some techpark in Ang Mo Kio. Ho ho. I love going to these techparks. It's those factories that you can drive your car up to the factory you're looking for. It's pretty cool! Haha. Like a gigantic multistorey carpark with shops.
Got bored waiting for Dad!
Posted by Hello I had the honour of driving the new car home today! The car's first trip. =) Yay. Black leather's cool. The new car's a cool colour too. Metallic blue. And best of all, it has a smaller steering wheel than the Cefiro.
New car!
Posted by Hello You know I sometimes miss the steering wheel after turning. Hahaha! Scares my mum whenever I do that. LOL. It's not on purpose, of course. I really missed the steering wheel. It's just too big. Ok. Fine. I have short hands. I miss the Cefiro already. :(

Listening to: Judy Garland - Somewhere Over the Rainbow

How about this? I've always liked this model. Haha. It's roundish instead of squarish. And it's small. Only slightly bigger than a namecard. Wow. That's pretty small! Cool. And it's 5.1megapixel. Carl Zeiss lens. Hah. Cool eh? Muahaha, shall pester Mum to get me this. Ho ho. Shall go shopping for me Levi's soon! The voucher has arrived from Citibank. We've got Topshop vouchers too. Ho ho! I should hurry and get the U2 jacket too. In case the season changes and the jacket "disappears" from the shelves! And also a "gai gai" bag. I must go shopping soon. I must, I must, I must, I must! We're getting the new car soon! Yippee! Tomorrow! Or technically, later. Sel sel's a happy girl today!
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

I love Mummy

This camera is nice, isn't it? It's selling at $349. Ho ho. It's 3.2megapixels, 2.2 optical zoom. Ok, not fantastic, but it's so pretty! Very handy! Not like my bulky Olympus camera. Boo! I was thinking of selling away the Olympus at Cash Converters. Haha! I wonder how much it would fetch. Anyone has any idea? $200? $100? Hmm. Shall go ask. Hope it will fetch a higher price. I love my Mummy! She takes care of me when I'm sick, buys food home for me, buys little treats for me and treats me especially nice when I'm sick. I just love my Mummy. *Hugz!* It seems to be a trend to get knocked down by an MRT these days, ain't it? Why else can you explain the number of people who've been killed/injured by an MRT in these few months? Weird. It's quite frightening to hear the news report of these incidents almost every other day. All the train delays caused and the big "hoo-ha" over these incidents. SMRT should seriously do something about it. I don't know what, but something has to be done. Be it safety measures at its train stations, or educating MRT users not to commit suicide at its stations. -__-!!! I mean. Not that I'm unsympathetic to those people who are depressed or in dire straits or whatever. But it's really starting to be a pain in the neck when everyother day there're news reports on people getting killed/injured at ABC train station. Ok, never mind. I'm just being crappy. Ho ho. I watched Meteor Garden 1 this afternoon. *Sigh!* Zai Zai is sho dreamy. Jerry Yan's dreamy too. *Grin* I'm mad. My fever's gotten into my brains. And fried them. Hah. I ain't thinking right. I love my Mummy and I need a shopping dose. And we're going to Chinese Garden to check out the lanterns! Haha! Should I go with Mummy and Daddy? Or Project Grp? Hmm. *What a dilemma!* I've never been to the Chinese Garden. Heh. Yes. I'm Singaporean. I doubt EVERY Singaporean has been there. It's at such an ulu place. I didn't know there was an MRT station called "Chinese Garden" until Kangwei told me. Oops. I don't really go all the way to Boon Lay you know. It's until October 3. And it opens from 5pm- 11pm. It will feature Disney characters as well as Chinese mythical characters. I think I saw Lilo and Stitch, Nemo and Friends, the usual Mickey and gang and other fairytale characters. It looks great! I can't wait to go! I hope we get the car on Monday. Then we can go for a spin! Wheee! Bah. I'm outta here. Love ya, Rachel! =)

Sick

Boohoohoo. Bad day. I'm sick!

I don't feel good.

In fact, I feel weird.

Lots of things going through my mind.

Sometimes I feel so alone.

Really alone.

Desperate to get out of this loneliness.

It's like a swarm of flies.

Buzzing around me.

Waiting to devour me.

Whole.

Argh.

I can't stand it!

I finally watched Singapore Idol today! Wahahahaha! I haven't watched any episodes of it since the "Lemon Tree" auditions alright! Ha ha. They always seem to show it on days when I have classes. Dumb. And what's this about choosing 2 more when they were only supposed to choose 1? I thought they made it clear that there was "only the top number of votes and no second and third"? Argh. It's always like this when the producers of the show want people who didn't get chosen to continue in the game. Just like a certain competition I was in. Right. Nevertheless, I'm rather happy with this episode's result! Ho ho! That Sylvester Sim person got in! Ha ha. Some of them really cannot make it la. :X Hopefully I'll be at home the following Thursdays to watch the rest of Singapore Idol! Ha ha. Oh ya! I was watching The Apprentice just now and it suddenly occurred to me that Donald Trump shares an UNCANNY RESEMBLANCE to Days of Our Lives star, Mr John Black! That "pout", the way they talk, the way they raise one eyebrow and the expression in their eyes. Wahahahaha. And I only realised today that Mr Trump has a sense of humour. He was at a work site and there was a big wind blowing and he said that he was glad! Why? Because now people will know that his hair is real! He's not wearing a wig! Haha! I thought that was really funny. I suddenly hate going for classes. I don't know why. There's just some people I don't seem to want to see that often anymore. Bah. You know, that certain kind of people who just pisses you off when they open their mouth to speak. But well, I suppose since there's a high possibility of us being a project group, I'd better keep my mouth shut and avoid getting into arguments with them. It's stupid arguing with a stupid person. So just f*** off, bugger! I don't want to talk to you!

I'm bushed! Been out till midnight almost everyday this week!! =X Really! Sigh. I think I should start getting home earlier. I missed the last episode of Friends! So sad right! Haiyo. Better la, if not I will be very sad. :( I used to dislike Friends because it was Ally Mcbeal's rival. Haha. Then Ally Mcbeal ended its run in Singapore, so I turned to Friends. Hahaha. I wished they'd continue showing Ally Mcbeal though. It's a really nice show. Funny too. Had fun last Saturday with my project group mates. Funny how I still refer to them as my project group mates. LOL. I just dunno how else to refer them as. We went to Marche. Long queue! And my birthday cake got "stuk" outside! Because "No outside food and drinks allowed." *Faints* Those sweeties gave me a treat. Hee hee. So nice. After we finished dinner, Mich couldn't stand it anymore. She decided to go talk to the staff about letting us bring the cake in. So she left. We were worried she might start quarelling with the staff. Ha ha. Minutes later, she returned with a huge grin and the CAKE! LOL. She looked so smug. So we thought "yay! We get to eat the cake!" No. We still couldn't. Bah. Those lousy people said we could sing a birthday song, light the candles and everything BUT eat the cake. WTH. -_-!!! Crap right!? So we decided not to do it here. Bah. There must be somewhere else we could sit down properly and have our cake. We walked to the Youth Park thinking we could sit on the benches there. But. Of all the days. They were having some concert there. -_-!!! Talk about being "suay". So we walked to the skate park and ALL OF US FELT SO OUT OF PLACE. Haha. Especially Shuling since she was in a super short skirt. So we decided to walk back to Starbucks. Yay! They allowed us to cut the cake and EAT it! Wowee. Wonderful. o_O. Haha. Provided we buy their drinks of course. Then they sang a birthday song for me. Haha. Sweet lar, but a tad embarrassing because they sang, erm, quite loudly. Ho ho. Afterwards we decided to go see the long long escalator at Wisma. It wasn't working!!! Darn. But it's really long eh? Outdoor somemore. Cool. Shuan, Zhenting and I left for Parkway for pool with Shuan's bf! Haha. Only managed to get home at 1am. -_-ZzzZ Already half-dead by then. See! Today I'm home at nearly 1am again! Went to meet up with Suet, Ade, Grace and Amil! So nice to see them after so long! =) And after that went for a movie with Kenny and Cindy. The Terminal! VERY GOOD SHOW! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! It's one of those movies that is funny, sad, sweet, heartening, angry all at the same time, within scenes! Wonderful! Marvellous! Wahaha. I love it. *Thumbs up!* Tom Hanks is good. Very good. "Toosday! I hate Toosdays!" Hahaha. Alright, it's bed time for me. Am going for *snip snip* tomorrow with Rachel Chong. Ho ho! So exciting. If I refuse to come out for the next one month, you guys know what happened. Be nice to me ok! =X
