i didn't realise how anti social i was till recently.
first it was veeko where i found it diff to communicate to my colleagues.
then it was christofori.
i love my christofori job cos it allows me to be anti social.hahaha.
i only have to socialise w the students.lol.

i kinda like teaching kids..as compared to teenagers.
yes, im not particularly a 'kids-person'
bt kids are just simpler to work with.
they do not judge you, they do not make comparisons, they have lower expectations.

oh, and i met my pri sch friend today on the way home. at the bus interchange actually.
he was standing there, and my first instinct was to pretend i didn't see him.
so that i don't have to go through all the small talk torture.
bt it was too late, he alrd saw me.
so yes, i had to go through all the small talk.
it's funny how we were kinda close in pri sch, and now im avoiding him.lol.
the worst thing is he lives 2 floors above me.
that's what time does to pple i guess.
i don't like it, but i can't help it.

anyways, im kinda worried alrd.
pple are getting uni interviews, some even got acceptance letters alrd.
bt there's still no news for me.
i thought my grades were sufficient, bt maybe they aren't after all.
they're so average, no one's paying much attention to them.
kinda like me.hahaha.

I need my chips.
They're my heroin.
they have a calming effect on me.

23.03.09 - Mommy's birthday!



We went to ding tai feng @ jp extension for dinner cum birthday celebration.
the food's not too bad, but there was a lack of variety.
plus, it's a little pricey...
$6 plus for a 2 buns? isn't it a little too much?
it's just flour and sesame..i bet it doesn't even cost $1 for 2 buns.












After that, we went to swenson's for dessert, and we ordered this.



this fondue was meant for 2, bt the 4of us couldn't finish it all..
we had 2 strawberries and 3cherries left over. bt we finished every bit of the chocolate.hahaha.
i paid for this cos my irritating sister said i very stingy.
cos for the whole of my non-consecutive-working-life, i haven't treated the family to anything yet.bleaghx.
so i relented and paid for this fondue which cost my $24.01.
yes, 1 meagre cent they also want. -.-




i took this unglam shot of them first, then my dad tricked me into giving him the camera,
and then this happened.


not that i want to open my mouth that big, it's cos the marshmallow is big.
and i don't want chocolate smeared all over my lips.haha.


these 2 pple are very happy cos they say this might be the first and last time their stingy daughter will treat them to ice cream.
not true ok..
just to clarify, i don't treat them to meals cos i spend the money on them in some other ways.
on more practical stuff ok....
it's not that im really stingy.bleaghx.

24.03.09 - Brunch at Vienna

Fionie, Von and I went to Vienna's yesterday for international buffet.
so worth it.the amount i ate definitely broke even with the amount i paid.
mostly cos of the amt of seafood i ate.hahaha.

I'm definitely going back to Vienna one day..
FOR THE CEREAL PRAWNS.DAMN GOOD!
i think i ate arnd 9prawns yesterday even though i'm a little allergic to seafood.
ok, scratch that, i'm quite allergic to it.
luckily i have loads of anti-histamines at home.hahaha.
The service there is quite good, besides the fact that they didn't refill my coke w/o me asking for it.
They cleared the dirty plates real quickly. as soon as we left the table for another round,
our dirty plates are cleared away alrd.that's one thing i really like abt vienna.
i hate it when plates pile up on my table during buffets.
and when i get really irritated, the restaurant's not gg to like me.
and i won't like the restaurant, so i won't go back.
so it's a lose-lose situation cos they don't earn money and i don't get the food.
so vienna is smart in that sense.hahaha.

fionie felt sick after that...
don't think it's cos of vienna's food la..haha
but she went home first..
so von and i went to borders at orchard.
she bought 2 books - twilight and new moon.
we're gg back again on friday cos that stupid zhai nu cannot read slowly.lol.
she finished her 2 books alrd.it's nt even 24hours yet.
tell me, where gt pple read so fast wan yvonne loh?
(i'm nt talking bout' your cleavage in my blog this time.hahaha)
btw, i've got pictures of fionie in the toilet puking, but im nt gonna post it up or she's gonna kill me.hahaha.

======================================

anyways, i've been packing up my room, and i've found some things that i never remembered i had.hahaha.
like my primary school autograph book.
you know, the book where you ask your friends to write their particulars in colourful pens, and of course, the poem and the message.
my fave was the message part.i'd skip all the contact detail and the 100%,80%,50% best friends nonsense and jump straight into the message.hahaha.
oh! and the secret admirer part where you put in a few alphabets and put underscores like hangman for the owner to guess.hahaha.
it's quite funny actually.

i don't think kids nowadays have such traditions anymore, which i think is quite a shame.
these kids wouldn't have any piece of their childhood to hold on to anymore cos all they have is their stupid cards with ugly monsters on them, and gadgets like tamagotchi and DS lite which they will dump once a newer version is launched.

and this inspired me to write letters to me 5years later, like a time capsule.
This is how the front page will prob look like:


haha..i actually wanted 10 years, but i don't think i have the patience to wait that long.
it's gonna be fun, seeing how my life is different or the same from now, whether i've started working and stuff.
i bet i'm gonna flinch seeing what i wrote 5years ago.
i'd be like 'that's so trivial and childish.how did i ever write that?'
or 'eww...i can't belief that -insert embarrassing moment here-'
or ' what exactly does LOL stand for again?'

hahahahahahaha...ok.im sold.i'm gonna do it.
so the first time i'm gonna open the letters would be in...2014.
this idea is copyrighted and patented.you must seek my permission to do it before you do it or i reserve my right to sue you.hahahahahaha.

ok.i'm gonna get started.
byebye!

p/s: my first qn for me 5 years later is "has the world ended? is the temperature 40deg all year round?"

If only things could be simpler.

i've just submitted my applications to uni.
seriously, i didn't utilize all the choices given in the forms.haha.
cos being in the arts stream doesn't really give me much of a choice, but i don't regret it.
(don't get me started on the whole debate again)

the forms are so complicated.
ok, complicated's not the right word, troublesome is.
we've alrd done our best to study for the darn examination, can't the govt make things simpler for us?
what's the point of writing essays in an application form when you may not even get into that uni you tell me?hahaha.
the most troublesome one is prob NTU, where you have to write an essay of less than 300words essay on either one of the 2qns given.
super troublesome.

why can't we skip everything and just put in our choices, then ta-daa!
we're in uni!
hahahahahaha...that's why i say, if only things could be simpler.
i realised we start to complicate things when we grow older, so maybe that's why govt/education forms are so troublesome.
(cos govt/edu pple are old.shh..)

ok watever. my blog's dead.
im looking forward to 2moro! fionie and her mommy and her noel and honey is visiting batam!
and i need to pee desperately.
byebye!

06.03.09 -HONEY'S BIRTHDAY + JUDGEMENT DAY

hahaha..this is vonnie's card done by yours truly, and my maid, fionie.
note the ample bustline - stuffed to the brim with tissue.hahaha.
and this is the real deal..too bad the spoons blocked the cleavage.hahaha.
she's gg to murder me again.bt hey! it's a compliment ok? hahaha..
btw, i want to complain.

We went to new york new york for dinner, after 3mths of craving (for my case only).
i missed their fish and chips ttm, bt imagine my disappointment when they served the fish.

1. The fish was placed ON TOP of the fries. presentation points: -infinity.
2. Batter was totally different.TOTALLY.
3. i know oil prices is coming down, bt there's seriously no need to drench the fish in oil.
4. The fish breaks apart the moment i cut it.how to put sauce u tell me?!!

that's not all.i wanna complain about the icecream.
i was super close in asking the pple there - 'new york got no oreo ah?'
the brown cookies at the bottom of the ice-cream resembles oreo, tastes like khong guan, bt is neither of them.it's some cheapo cookie.
and the ice cream itself is like those cheap walls ice cream,
to think we paid $15 for it.
im never gg back to nyny again.

albeit times when she totally got on my nerves.haha.

i still enjoy teaching her nonetheless.

anyways, she saw my phone on the table and she said ' take photo of me?'

i couldn't resist.haha.

and this is the random photo she took of me.haha.

speculation over the release of the A' level results have been creating quite a hype recently.
many pple think it's next friday.
in fact, they're so convinced that it's no longer a rumour but a fact.
me? my stomach does a mid-air summersault whenever i hear abt it.
so i choose to ignore all speculations, and watch out for the news on tv.
who knows? 2moro's 9pm news would confirm that it wld be released on friday.hahaha.

today's the 1st of march 2009, which meant that my stint at veeko's over.
going back 2moro to return uniforms though.
the rest of my time before entering uni(assumption) wld be spent on prep for grade8 exam,
teaching tuition and piano on wkends.
pretty excited abt march actually.it's a new beggining.hahaha.
several turning pts in march -
1. results = i wld know if i can make it into a local uni
2. christofori = i wld know if it wld be my permanant plan B if i cmi.

see, this reminds me of the watershed question in SEA history.
nw everything reminds me of wat i learnt in jc.
the process of waiting for the results is a whole lot more stressful then the actual studying process.
wat a paradox.bleaghx.



p/s: i still hate the mrt.





UPDATE:
i shld be a prophet. the day after i posted this online, the media reported we'll be getting our results this friday.LOL.
i wonder if it's a good or bad omen.
