after 4 days of staying at home *sick*
with sleepless nites and eyes glued to the ebay site *sick*
a "happinious-est" nite at yy *nt sick* with lots of "turpentine" *sick*
yoga flips and blah blah with "turpentine" churning in stomach (still!) *sick*
an afternoon spent squeezing thru the jam-packed toy&comicconvention *sick*
4-hr-buffet at pariss at marina square *sick*

i really became sick...

yuck.

kind of o.k. now but..ooh buffet is one evil thing. temporal enjoyment that makes u suffer for a long time..

haha. but to be frank. the process was nice.

i had to myself, half a dozen oysters...

some baby lobsters..

sashimi and blah blah..

dimsum and old-chang-kee-ish stuff..

black pepper crab (!!)

an earl grey float ;) 4 long espressos (one of which became affogato):) and that's DURIAN puff u see at the back

and many many many others which i didn't bother to snap with my phone..so..hmm it's easy to see how i got sooo sick..haha

spent 4 hrs there 6-10pm..my personal record..but that's including the 1-hr shopping break in between..pple in zara and mango were almost crazy haha

and shopping.
here's muji!

look at that! it's a one-time-use camera @sgd7.90 only! loaded with fuji iso400 film somemore..haha haven't seen the real thing cos can't bear to open it :p
and some other..impulsive buys

ok this sums up my uneventful week.
next week, i MUST START.

yesterday's post was a preview of what happened today.
yes, i went to sign that d_mn thing.
as some (i don't know who exactly, but seems like quite a handful) might know, i got the j_c scholarship (ok don't ask me why i apply now and blah blah)
and anyway today was the 'sign-your-two-years-away' day. it's a tea reception which parents and sureties are invited to..with some talking..some coporate video..some sharing sessions
and to my pleasant surprise (ok not exactly pleasant and shldn't have been a surprise in the first place), i was joined by 2 young sweet 'a' level grad girls. and to my horror, the whole sharing session was "how to cope with life in US/UK" wow..how relevant. (just to give you a glimpse of the content: you must bring a rice cooker; an eraser can be as expensive as a shirt; skype IS the cheapest; learn to cook you must learn to cook; rail is fastest; air fares by budget carriers are dirt cheap; buy the latest laptop here bring it over and make the outdated brits jealous; and hell lot more..and i wonder why i remember all these!)

as one of the sharing scholar(ly) guys correctly pointed out ("i guess it's you [pointing to sweet girl A] and you [pointing to sweet girl B] going over to England right?....ya guess can clearly see the age *sniggers*[referring to the 3rd OLD bored and uninterested person].."), i was [1] the only mid term aka old person, [2] the only local uni person;
and as the presentation went on to academic standards to upkeep blah blah i realised i was also [3] the least (or not at all) qualified for a s_holar_hip (it read "for undergraduate scholars, to continue masters studies, you have to obtain first class honours.."(!!!) omg...i think they have made a terrible mistake here..i am a *#$xjs^$#$! 2L person -___-)

anyway the scholar(ly) guy i referred to completed his 2nd yr in city and regional planning in cardiff and is currently back for internship..when he learnt I m actually an aki major he said 'oh, so i guess u r very good in autocad...but you should start using sketchup too' (lol..) '..ya we've to use that as well..' 'oh tt's gd tt's gd..ya then just read up more..keep reading it's good for you....'
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......
thanks. tt's a timely reminder. just before i start my dissert.
.....

ok. the whole point i guess i m trying to make is: yay i shall make history by becoming the least sc_olar(ly) s_holar ever. cheers.

sweet reunion

met up with the z9 sj gals to celebrate qi's birthday ^^
to my pleasant pleasant surprise, choon showed up! :D
last time I've seen her was like...4 yrs ago?
everyone looks the same speaks the same laughs the same
it always amuses me, the fact that people don't really change that much (even after a decade or 2)

still the same o dearies :)
flashbacks of bukit timah, ubin, weekly bubble tea chats, shitty camps, embarassing moments..awww all the shared colourful memories

among these 7 charming girls, some shared my deepest secrets, some became my twin, some survived a wild dog chase with me, some left me laughing so uncontrollably in a marchpass -_-''
i always thought it's a pity we didn't stay together longer..
4 of us officially MIA-ed
though our legacy was a short-lived 2 years
it would be remembered a lifetime

looking forward to more catching up sessions but before that, very soon on sat, jov will be back! and will be seeing some rv sj gals. yay AJs..haha it's the comp team get-together :p so embarassing

it's nice how different groups of friends spice up my life. with different flavours. perfect. [hmm miss rvsj crazy 'welfare' girls too]

yay! musique for you

found last.fm

the interface was pretty cool, but with 99% of the tracks allowing only 30sec preview, i thought it would be useless.

but i was mistaken! lol..when you play the playlist it'll be the full track la ;)

so yay..painstakingly gathered 30+tracks for the playlist..hope it isn't too bad

bedtime.

prepared for the worst

my comp's going to die......
having to on/off 5-6 times for it to boot up...is not good.
sigh. prepared for the worst. all impt stuff is going to my hdd and maybe i shall buy a new laptop during matric fair. hmm..
ya guess i'm more a laptop person. hates the clutter on my ultra messy table. no space no space. my home's in a mess. my stuff has presence in every room (including my parent's and kitchen!) wow..
mid yr resolution: get rid of tt massive drafting table, get a book shelf, dump 'sentimental' stuff, clear the boxes and model materials -__-, get rid of spoilt cpus, printers, scanners, cameras, get a new bed, and of cos those unwanted clothes and bags..0_0
woah..many things to be done..and of cos dissertation on top of all these.
i vaguely remember wanting to learn some 3dmax or rhino or sth before returning to sch..haha
ok. there's always tml.
for now, i've gotta write a letter to explain why i skipped the "method of instruction for higher first aid" (eeks) lectures for my taiwan and bkk vacations (isn't it obvious?!) haiz feel like ignoring and let them fail me as they wish. my letter wld sound just as ridiculous as my verbal clarification what. duh.
okok may all gd things happen. and may my comp live a (slightly) longer life.
