Meeting Mark was enjoyable. I have always liked the warmth I feel when I sit down with an old friend, get messed up in conversations centred on past and future, memories and plans, everything and nothing. We had pasta at Sketches, steamed eggs at Ah Chew's, ending the day with piping hot Taiwan sausages. Speaking of which Shyan, Chengwei and I have seperate dietery plans: no food; no meat; and no sugar respectively. We all happily failed by biting into inordinate amounts of pork, beef and lamb. I gather that it is reasonable for plans to backfire when the satisfaction overrides guilt.

Bye Ash!

Singapore will be a different place without you.

In the meantime I shall...be a meek kitten. <3

Today we had a little 208 dinner with the same girls, which Sam and I totally messed up. The miscommunication! Nonetheless it is very sweet fun and vulgar to see their faces and hear their voices and laughter so we must have more such meet ups! :)

Sidetrack a little, Ash got a call 3 hours before our appointment that Katlyn had to rush off to emergency so I couldn't get my hair cut by her again. tsk. Still because Ash has to leave on Fri, we sat ourselves at Icon and got our haircuts, leaving looking alike. While waiting for Ash to get her hair straightened I made a call to one of my favourite people and Ash said I sounded like ah por. B3 k beech.

i shall end abruptly here. chocolate flavoured soyabean craving!

friday shouldn't come!

After tuition today, I went shopping alone, quietly but efficiently with a brief visit to the library in between. My bag got extremely heavy, overcrowding with economics notes/books, new purchases and library books. My most remarkable puchase today was... umbrella. I bought 3 in different colors like ah soh and when I reached home I announced that I wanted the yellow one because I want to be the sun on a rainy day and... my mom asked me to keep quiet. argh. Dinner was alot of meat, the way I like it. Sometime later I fell asleep not remembering how or why, and woke up to sms from Mark; we shall finally meet! At 12 I called Shyan and we talked awhile before he had to sleep.He always needs to sleep.

Ash Yogi and I met on Friday to eat KFC where I indulged in the unhealthiness. We spent some time at Bugis and then went on to the museum and trailed till it was time for Yogi to leave. Ashlyn and I found a good spot on the grass to watch the Night Fest performance and I giggled insanely till I sweat because the grass poked me so badly. In the end, having settled down not too long, we had to relocate ourselves over to the SMU side -.- where we were the 2nd layer and each time we turned around more layers formed until there were 10 and we panicked and got claustrophobic. aiyoh. The Dancing Sky was very pretty, and each time they did something spectacular Ash would squeeze my hand like a kid. Met Christine at Cathay for a short while and she was so excited over Dark Knight. Cannot wait to watch it!

The next day we had 208 outing at East Coast.Yogi and I woke up early despite having slept at 4am and spent the morning waiting because everyone was late and inefficient. I paced around Tampines Guardian slowwwlyyy 6 times before Sam arrived with bad breath because she hadn't spoken for too long and Nat picked us up in her Los Angeles shirt. Atiqah is awesome, she came in the 208 class tshirt omg we all wear it to sleep still. :) The 8 of us bought Macs and laid mats by the beach to picnic. We played German Bridge which I surprisingly came in 2nd even though I have no inkling what Bridge is all about. I only ever win games when there are no prizes. It was a nice little outing, shall see them again on Wednesday!

I am so so so sleepy goodnite. I'm feeling happy and contented for a mixture of reasons. I'm thankful. I have such awesome and wonderful and nice people filling up my life. :)

Robin is trying to deprive me from the much needed sleep because he is very high over it being the last day of work and a planned Sentosa trip. However I cannot match the energy having no similar stimulus and am thus about to collapse.

karen says:
i go slp la fainting

Robin:
(continues blabbering about.. what else, Cap score 5 for next sem -.-)

karen says:
pls lemme faint

Robin says:
OKIE

Robin says:
Goodfaint =)

For tomorrow, I should be in bed now.

I received a lovely message past midnight today! Although it is simple and forced, I nonetheless feel a sense of satisfaction. It shall sustain me for now. Just let me be greedy selfish irritating for awhile.

Mom's been preparing really yummy food this few days. Today i asked to eat the same food as Gogol but my mommy paired curry with... miso soup -.- We had calamari for teabreak and I drank 3 cups of milo, in the morning, evening, and night. It is disgusting, I must quit my milo addiction.

Spent hours in bed and finished reading The Namesake which was not bad, although it left me slightly sad and desiring more about Ashoke. I called Ashlyn and we discussed about Asian marriages, divorces, Brokeback Mountain, and happy endings.

It is getting late and I have lost company to their sleep so good night. Bonne nuit! :)

oops I just realised I wrote about the same thing in 2 posts -.-

copy from ashlyn:

I just met karen from 730 to 9 only haha what could have possessed me to come out from my house for such a short time to do nothing with each other. Were it not for her horoscope saying that today would be the best day of the month so that I felt compelled to obey the forces of the universe and not disappoint I wouldn't have. Haha. Such is the extent of my religious fanatic obsession with horoscopes.

and because i have nothing more to write about... I shall copy from Nat too:

i dont know why i write this entry. initially i thought id write the things i want to do with my friends and then put them into little places and plan when to do them. but then. this would be done better seated with them and planning together with them. not here. on my lj. what good can come out of writing my to-do list here. so perhaps i blogged cos karen said it would make me feel better. have less thoughts running around in my head. and yes. karen's right. i do feel better. thanks karen :)

Good morning, morning morning!

After worrying excessively beyond what my nature allows, I hope that I will have nothing to worry about anymore. :)

The past few days, spirits are high back at home. On Sunday we visited the library, had lunch at Crystal Jade, and bought new bedsheets. Friends have been lovely as well! We have been studying horoscopes compulsively, and Yogi tried to justify it by calling it a RGS thing. I am Leo, so I crave heartfelt compliments, am a devoted lover, and sulk when I do not get things done my way. Having spread the message around I received a disgusting amount of mushy praises coming my way which is very annoying please.

And the one thing that has been bothering me and drenched my blog in a stinky mood... I am thinking that everything is alright. I will do what I can and that's it. It's final and I refuse to brood over it any longer.

Lucky! Lucky is my new favourite song. Next in line is Duffy's Warwick avenue Mercy Delayed devotion Hanging on for too long. But Lucky is IT. I play it so often my Ipod is going to protest soon. Thanks Ashlyn for the song.


Do you hear me,
Talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

After dinner I plopped into bed and made a round of calls to friends to check on their Saturday night activities. I sapped them of their energies and Ashlyn in particular collasped and I fainted myself too only to wake up at 1140p.m and am now considering whether to start reading The Namesake.

I am about to steal photos off Ashlyn's facebook album which is the ugliest album ever because according to Christine she was wearing glasses, Ash's eyes were closed and I looked depressed. Yogi sth. But yogi ugly will still look pretty so it is alright.

















and steal from miaovin also cuz very... stupid.and omg why i hold the camera like that









caption from him is... karen fall asleep on camera.

Anyway, everyone at home is in high spirits today which is really very sweet and wonderful. And of course friends make me very heartwarm too. These are the things in life which you would't ever want to change or upset or lose.

I had forgotten about my rash episode but Ash blogged it, therefore I shall continue to annoy her by copypasting.

Monday - shopping with yogita. Ended shopping with yogi because karen and christine were supposed to meet us but then karen must use a new brand of shampoo and must develop a rash from it so she couldn't meet us. and christine didnt come because she died after hearing the ridiculous story.

The rashes, they were on my face! On the left side, angry red bumps. It was really ugly so I lay in bed grumpy for the longest time before I made my way to Chengwei's place.

Anyway Ash it wasn't a new brand of shampoo, it was my brother's. I am b3 ah.

I will really, really stop being like this! Things are actually pretty good the way they are. I shouldn't spoil it by being fussy and sulking and being a Leo. And at the end of the day I just feel double shitty because I made it less pleasant for someone else that I do care for. It could be so much better if only I would shift my perspective.

It is late and I shall go to sleep now, before I get abducted by the BFG.

I just crawled out of the comfort of my bed, switched on my light and flipped open my laptop to connect with the world only to find most of my favourite friends offline.

I spent some time trying to say what I have to say but... I cannot change things. I have to do something with myself then, and I really hope I can make it. That is all there is to it, all quite simple, but I am actually pretty lousy.

Am blasting Viva la Vida and it will never sound the same again because everytime I hear it I also hear Ashlyn singing it because she wouldn't stop that day.

On Sunday I got to meet Stanley Yihong KianNgee at last. It has been long but they are pretty much the same. I will resist writing about them because I have secrets to keep. Yihong brought along an exciting book called Why Men Sleep After Sex which I read in 15 mins. We had KFC and drinks and eggs at HK Cafe before I returned home for an early night.

Monday I had Myojo Prawn Noodle at Chengwei's house where I met his brother again and he... does not ever ever ever stay silent. He talks so much and at such high volumes I feel tired. Then we joined Shyan for dinner after his dance and my stomach hurt so badly I couldn't walk.

Tuesday! Had a nice time with Yogi Christine Sam Nat Ash at Tanjong Pagar for a little short lunch which was heartwarming and I snapped a photo of sam's bra. Very good. Spent some time at City Hall having dessert and walking aimlessly until only Ash and I remained. We walked to Haji Lane, stopped in between for Milo and Laksa and it's funny how we remember the route walking to Haji Lane because of the memories we had at each point of the journey.=). The whole evening, Ashlyn sang Viva la Vida.

On Wednesday, Shyan fell sick.

Met him yesterday for Hancock. It was alright but a movie I shall soon forget. Had dinner at HK cafe and I eat at HK Cafes so often I should start collecting their membership cards soon. We then trudged down to J8 for Chengwei's dinner. They left early, and Yogi Christine Ash and I had an impromptu meeting. We din't really know who was turning up until we met. I got a little teary eyed in front of Ashlyn because I was being silly and pathetic over something. We spent the night at Max Brenner's where Ashlyn behaved like a little chipmunk. We got excited over warm chocolate, a Taiwanese actress, arranged marriages, cats and chimpunks and sex kittens, boobs and bones. We returned home to continue our conversations online. At 2am I went to bed.

I feel like an idiot and a big mouth. But I hope it will all be well.

We were discussing about this yesterday but.. let me copy and paste again:

In the afternoon, I met karen and we chilled at HK cafe before trespassing a closed restaurant for free access to their tables and chairs to listen to warwick avenue and paint my nails because I was going to a party. And that was the nicest part of today. heh. And to save some money, I brought biscuits to eat at the cafe and whenever the waitors walk past us we will pretend we weren't eating which was absolutely futile because we will just stare in space blankly while holding our biscuits. Haha. Then I left grumpily to meet the uwa people who were very late, save for pravin and marlom who turned out to be the best company.

<3

I am actually really anticipating Yogi's blog but everytime I ask her to please blog she says she will when she thinks of a blog name and then I headache.

This morning weather is not too bad, although a bee was outside my window, breakfast was lovely french toast but I was still grumpy and my mom asked me to please smile. Does it make anyone feel better to see my frog grin?

It is now 1236.

Because the past few days have been passed in a general state of happiness I want to write lightheartedly but I cannot, thanks to some bad news and more bad news, talking about issues and listening to friends' problems and offering pathetic advice. I really hope that in the morning I wake up to a lovely day. Please. Maybe some pretty weather and a good breakfast.

Still, I attempt. Mock lightheartedness.

I finally got about to trying Miss Clarity Cafe which was cute, altho I don't quite understand why Chengwei insisted I would love that place. Spent 2 days bumming around at home which was nice and slow and peaceful. On Friday Shyan and I travelled to Aston's for the juicy goodness of steak and he terrified me by downing an entire bowl of pork chop noodles at HK Cafe after that chunk of meat. Why do such appetites exist.

This morning I woke up to a breakfast invitation from Robin and we had Mini Wok Noodles and Yong Tau Foo. He is so steven lim-ish. I dug out the yellowed Rich Dad Poor Dad for him, a book nobody in the family ever actually read. Had Sports Ball meeting with Xuyun and Peiwen afterwhich Xuyun and I spent some lazy time discovering what Lot 1 had to offer, and seriously considered taking an application form for a secret job. At 2pm I met Ash at City hall and had drinks at Hk Cafe with chocolate Digestive Cookies. She slurped her jelly drink so loud it broke our converstations. We walked in Esplanade and peered at primary school children getting geared up for the NDP Rehearsals. Listened to Warwick Avenue together and she went off for her party while I got my brows threaded.

Then I got home to the night that got increasingly lousy.

I finally got to see Ashlyn today who dated me at last minute notice. It was all very thrilling and comfortable and heartwarming. We walked around with arms linked until 3 boys regarded us with the most suspecting eyes.

After that I met Shyan at Cityhall where he encountered something that could be a scam, sigh.

Anyway the morning shittiness has been replaced by a sort of calm and courage. I really hope that it will all work out.


omg i just read ash's blog and I must smile, i must.


had a last minute meet up with karen which was really very nice. and she held my hands the whole day even when we had to squeeze through clothes racks that could fit one person only. <33 everything will be wonderful for you karen :)


Life's good now, I talk to yogi, christine and karen on the phone and everything's the same and I can just lie down and wallow in my dreaming everyday.

aiyo the happiness! At this very moment, I am truely happy with life too. =)
