A life TOO ordinary..

The face has been infested by gazillion of pimples. Just the upper lip alone, there are 3 of them the last time I counted. The forehead? Let's not go there.. Bah! I need to drink more water and eat more fruits! Though must not go on a holiday sick and pimply.

I'm meeting Buddy for lunch tomorrow and we are going to Aston's at PGP!! Finally someone willing to make the trip with me! *Hops around in glee* Talking about food, this morning when we were having breakfast, momma was ordering my Kopi-C with no sugar, the lady who took her order actually reprimanded her for confusing her by not saying Kopi-C kosong. In that
case, do we say 'tat-giu' when we want Milo and 'dio-he' when we want chinese tea? OF COURSE WE FREAKING ORDER OUR DRINKS THE WAY WE KNOW IT LAAAA. *GRRRRR* So much for good service. pttuuiiii!

In other news, I'm currently looping this song which I think is super cool! Go check it out!

I had to draft a rejection letter a few days back and I had absolutely no idea what to write because this is not the usual case of 'competitiveness' and all that usual PR stuffs. So I was searching online for some inspiration and look what I've found! 61 rejection letters and still, no admission to Med School. Anyway, all rejection letters looked the same.

Why do we have to draft nice rejection letters when a 'no' is a 'no'? It's just like when someone breaks up with you and says 'It's not you, it's me.'; it doesn't make much of a difference, no?

Anyway, the nice, PR rejection letter has prolly reached and disappointed another young, hopeful soul.

Photo edited to protect the identity of the wonderful people in my life. Hur hur. They are so going to kill me if they find out.

The whole week (3 days to be exact as I was off the other 2) was busy with packing and dumping things to make way for the new puter at the cubicle. And I'm not even done yet. It still amazes me how I managed to amass so much junk in less than 2 years.. Come to think of it, it's almost 2 years actually. Anyhoos, the end result of my 3-day toil and sweat (and lots of sneezes and tissue paper and occasionally tears). Proudly presents THE*quote my neighbour, Shikin* "Wow-it's-so-clean!" cubicle:
Oops, wrong one... Proudly presents THE*quote my neighbour, Shikin* "Wow-it's-so-clean!" cubicle:

Nice eh? I hope it stays this way.. for at least another month or 2?

Special thanks to my personal slave Ah-da-lun-Bai-Ah-Fu (who is also my neighbour) and my pals Yee Chern (aka Ah-Shou. Yep, you might have guessed it, there is an Ah-Lu too!) and Evonne who helped to set up the stuffs. Here's a glimpse of my very shy personal slave at work (while I hurry and make fun of him and take his pictures):

In other news, I am beginning to dread Saturdays as for 2 consecutive weeks, Saturdays were either in bed sick or on the toilet bowl. I hope this doesn't become a habit cos' it is quite annoying..

In other other news, AnnehQuan aka the Buddy and I went for this very interesting networking session the other night. Not exactly fruitful but I totally enjoyed my buddy's company. I guess that's because we share the same 'passion'(read: obsession) for food, shopping, travelling and all things good~ hur hur. I look forward to our swimming-jacuzzi-seafood day, buddy!

I bumped into Weihao today and I bumped into Leiqing yesterday. I wonder who I get to bump into tomorrow. hahah!

MOF date tomorrow. Happified!(and I hope I am no longer weak and on the toilet bowl by then)

Meanwhile, here's a happy tune (the only one in my mental-looplist at the moment):

Four letter word just to get me along

It's a difficulty and I'm biting on my tongue and I

I keep stalling, keeping me together

People around gotta find something to say now

Holding back, everyday the same

Don't wanna be a loner

Listen to me, oh no

I never say anything at all

But with nothing to consider

They forget my name (ame, ame, ame)

They call me 'hell'

They call me 'Stacey'

They call me 'her'

They call me 'Jane'

That's not my name

That's not my name

That's not my name

That's not my name

They call me 'quiet girl'

But I'm a riot

Mary, Jo, Lisa

Always the same

That's not my name

That's not my name

That's not my name

That's not my name

I miss the catch if they through me the ball

I'm the last kid standing up against the wall

Keep up, falling, these heels they keep me boring

Getting glammed up and sitting on the fence now

So alone all the time at night

Lock myself away

Listen to me, I'm not

Although I'm dressed up, out and all with

Everything considered

They forget my name (ame, ame, ame)

They call me 'hell'

They call me 'Stacey'

They call me 'her'

They call me 'Jane'

That's not my name

That's not my name

That's not my name

That's not my name

They call me 'quiet girl'

But I'm a riot

Mary, Jo, Lisa

Always the same

That's not my name

That's not my name

That's not my name

That's not my name

Are you calling me darling? Are you calling me bird? Are you calling me darling? Are you calling me bird?

-- The Ting Tings

You won't even call out to me, that's because you can't even remember my name.

I offered to pay for momma's tickets so she can go to Shanghai with us, since she is so free. She declined stating that she needs to stay home and cook for pops (I suspect she just don't like the company of my travel partners and the thought of returning with either one of them turns her off further).

She've unknowingly added another item to the list of 'why it's better to be single'. I get to go wherever I want, whenever I want and however long I want.

The Moon Party went pretty well though it was drizzling a little in the beginning.. But anyhoos, we managed to hang our lanterns somehow and got our beers opened without bottle opener.

is going to fun~

We are more or less settled on Shanghai and will be getting the tickets on Monday to fly on 10th! I've been reading up on China and trying not to think so much about my solo trip, so as not to frighten myself and chicken out (which I almost did in Auzzie). Anyhoos, I have yet to confirm where I will be wandering and I have this very strong urge to not plan at all and see where I end up in.

In other news, as a result of my folly, I ordered a drink that consisted of warm milk and raw egg. That was the first and last time I ever stomach that solution. The thought of it still sends chill down my spine. Had a wonderful time at Sunset Tarvern (again) despite the crazy indian man scare while waiting for my company to arrive. Let's get drunk one day!

I look forward to Sunday when we can have our Cheena 'moon party'!!

I've just finished Norwegian Woods and is 1/2 way through After Dark, which are books Coins is also reading, in an opposite order. While I felt deeply for Norwegian Woods, she happened to like After Dark quite a bit as well. I guess both books are nice, or maybe we can relate to the books we read in our own special ways; I have to read on to find out.

A crazy idea came up with my crazy gurls and to Shanghai we will go! It's been a long time since I've last travelled for leisure and this Shanghai trip is definitely something to look forward to. No spoilsports! Linkin Park and Mayday, I am sure we're going to have a wonderful time!! Yayee! A good break will do me good.

I haven't felt so tired in a long while too. It's like back to working overnight on a Friday and heading back for tutorial on Saturday morning. I guess I must be getting old. Bah!

My bro finally decided that he had found 'the one' and finally got hitched on Sunday. Scary isn't it? Having to face someone for the rest of your life after 30 years of solitude. Well, that's something I dun think I ever have the courage to commit myself to. The thought itself sends chill down my spine. hur hur.

Weddings are tiring, I'm glad I won't have to go through it. The past few days were spent entertaining my family from KL which includes:

• Shuttling between Bukit Panjang, town(for shopping) and Changi (Chalet)
• Speaking Hokkien (to KL Grams)
• Speaking Teochew (to SG Grams)

I swear my dialects have improved tremendously over the weekend.

The whole family drove/flew down from KL just to attend the event of the year with the exception of 5 kids who are in Melbourne and Taiwan, and Granpops (who might be present for all we know).

Oh well, I'm glad it's over.

In other news, my sway-ka BFF who is flying off to Beijing via BKK (cos' he flying by Thai Air) is wondering if he will ever get to Beijing since BKK just declared state of emergency and we are encouraged not to go BKK. Oh well, I hope things will work out fine and he will get to fly on Thursday.

All the best to you, my dear friend.Till we meet again!

By the blazing council fire's light,
We are met in comradeship tonight,
Round about the whispering trees
Guard our golden memories.
And so, before we close our eyes to sleep,
Let us pledge each other that we'll keep
Our friendship strong and deep
Till we meet again.

Hur hur. My favourite campfire song. yayee!
