~ ok, i'm still the same old sickie with sorethroat that makes me sound so weird. as zk puts it, i sound like a guy on the phone. *rolls eyes* anw, i think the wc gang are all falling sick... lack of sleep i guess? and unexpected wc match results that just worsen our conditions! hahas.
~ my sleeping / eating cycles are qte screwed. we've been eating supper so frequently, thanks to the timings of the matches. btw, we've been catching matches at my place, mad's place, han's place n pubs. but its always more fun to watch soccer tgt =)
~ oh that day at my place, i must complain... dan zk n han did a good job... they cleared more than half a dozen of eggs from my fridge! thats not the worse... their preference can make u puke blood. dan likes sunny-side up, zk likes soft-boiled eggs, han likes omelette/scrambled eggs. arhhhhh. but it was qte fun lah. coz we cooked everything by ourselves. oh i realised han loves to cook. *nods*
btw, i'm eating soft-boiled eggs now! Is there another weirdo who likes soft-boiled eggs without the yolk? *grins*
~ erm did i mention that my sis-in-law n niece are back! i dun even noe if i shud b happy or not. hurhur. having a cute lil girl running ard in ur hse can b so amusing at times, but on the other hand, it can b so excruciating... esp when the noise level builds up or the inconvenience it brings...
~ oh i went for the ntu medical checkup the other day. i saw l*y*ng. i think most of u wud rmb her rite? i think she recognise me, i feigned ignorance basically. i rmb wad mad was telling a couple of us the other time. hah. hmmm, it just occurred to me that choosing ntu over nus dusen really help in moving away from the old ppl n meeting new ppl, since ultimately, u'll still meet ppl u noe.
~ i went for the checkup by myself coz i thot we hafta go according to the surnames n courses. anw, going alone was a good thing actually, coz i got to know new ppl like eileen. frenly ppl. i like. we went for x-ray at jp tgt. but i got an sms asking me to return for another x-ray due to machine failure. sian 1/2.
~ that day i went back for x-ray, i was amused by surveyors on the way. i was freaking in a hurry coz i was afraid the clinic wud close soon, hence i was brisk-walking. den this guy in red from 5 metres away started grining n walking faster towards my direction, so i looked like i was running away from him. lolx.
den on the way back, i was darting thru the crowd coz there was simply too many surveyors n of course their victims... den this guy in green came up to me n said, "y u look so fierce?" i was so stunned that i actually stopped in my tracks. gosh, i din know i really look that menacing... of coz he went on n on n tried to explain that mayb i was in deep thots n god knows wad else he was rambling...
i was basically qte non-chalent, just took off my earphones n said, "really? mayb coz i'm sick?" wad surprised me was the next reaction from this guy: "oh den u going home rite? i think u shud go home n rest, i shant bother u with this." its the first time i see a surveyor let go of his 'prey', so sympathetic. well done.
~ helping out at orchardjam is tiring yet fun. i only recognised zx, ed, pak n jw from afua. but then again, i met qte a few new frens, mostly from smu. so many ppl i met asked me y i'm doing this since i dun need cip hrs n stuff... frankly speaking i derno. mayb i believe in its cause? mayb i just have been slacking ard too much? mayb i m just being a nice fren? hmmm that aside, i swear some of the performances are so darn good, that it'll b a pity if u missed them! so come down to orchardjam this friday, saturday n sunday! =)
~ anyways, the blur sotong me left my data cable with zx's laptop, so pics will b up after i get it back from him. sighs.
as we're slacking ard n waiting for the match, i had this unknown acute pain at my abdominal area lor. n its not the cramp. so i was v uncomfortable thru the nite n obviously din watch much of the match. it dusen help that i was having sorethroat n that every cough i take worsens the pain. i was just damn screwed basically. i cuden walk/sit properly.
on the bus i was so in pain / scared / freaked out that i cud feel tears streaming out lar. it dusen help that i was curled up at the back of the bus by myself. han left n dan was sleeping in front i think. i swear i nva felt so helpless n pathetic in my entire life. in fact, i tot i wuden make it back home.
dan woke me up hurriedly b4 he dropped off, so i din miss my stop. i dragged myself to the clinic but it was abt 6+ n the clinic was not open. i derno how i managed to get home, the walk btwn the clinic n my hse seems to take forever.
basically i cried myself to sleep, n surprisingly, when i woke up, the pain was gone! the sorethroat n cough was still as bad, but still.. thank god anyway.
btw, OrchardJam is nothing related to traffic jams or fruit jams... here's more info abt this busking activity! =)
OrchardJam is the creative brainchild of AFUA, a registered non-profit society comprising of young arts enthusiasts striving to promote the local arts scene to the public. This event aims to showcase the myriad talents of our Singaporean youth volunteers while serving as a stepping stone for young aspiring artistes to develop their talents.
Through this event, it is hoped that essential funds for charity can be raised. Proceeds from OrchardJam will go towards beneficiaries such as the Children's Cancer Foundation as well as future non-profit arts activities by AFUA. Scheduled to occur over two weekends starting 23rd June to 2nd July 2006, everyone can look out for the 'live' entertainment at 5 different sites along the boardwalks from Wisma Atria to Paragon. Arts performances of various genres will be occurring simultaneously at all 5 sites.
Kill two birds with one stone: support the budding artistic talents of Singapore and do your part for charity!

the argentina match was kinda siao. 6-0. we kinda din bother watching after the first half. btw, both holland n ivory coast played well. hmmm.
anw, after the match, we went out to buy bread to make french toast. but sadly, we forgot there was no gas. so we kinda tried making french toast with an oven n failed coz we din have margarine. but then again, even with margarine, i think we wud haf failed. so we in the ended we had lotsa garlic bread =)
n of coz after eating, we SLEEP. damn tired sia. i was smart enuf to get portion of the huge comfy bed. but damn farnie la, coz zk almost mistook me for mad. coz mad dozed off in the living room while chatting w han.
oh yar i forgot to mention that i got woken by an irritating property agent who adevertised my hp number on his advert. champion.
~*~
oh yar, i went topshop ytd and i got a pair of shorts. a lil puffy kind, coz of the design. I LIKE! =)
~*~
anw, imagine having to catch worldcup matches n surviving late nites... i still managed to catch 2 more movies. on tue, i watched She's the Man with zhen. i had 2 complimentary tickets, but dun ask me how i got them, coz i've no idea, they were mailed to me. =)
anw, its another farnie yet lil meaningful kinda show. Viola disguised herself as her twin brother Sebastian so that both can persue their passions n prove themselves. Anw, she fell in love with her handsome roommate who turns out to be a new-age sensitive guy. =) oh btw, the show has lotsa eye candies - mostly guys thou.
~*~
oh then ytd nite i watched Cars with dan. see? another stupid show. and wads worse? we watched it at jubilee which has only 4 small cinemas, and so we happily believed w/o a doubt when the ticket collector said, " FOUR" and proceeded to theatre 4.
after settling down n watching qte some adverts... they started showing x-men comic strips... while i was still thinking if it was just adverts, dan stood up grabbed the food n said its the WRONG MOVIE. we're in the WRONG THEATRE. so we dug out the ticket stubs which stated: theatre 3.
just how maluating can that get? we scampered down n into the next theatre where the movie CARS has alr started. -_-" i'm just lucky that i din upset the nachos while squeezing thru n running down the side aisles. *shakes head*
~*~
sidetracking a lil, we went to ssdc just now, i wanted to sign up for practical lessons, but i missed the last briefing of the day by 15mins? =(
~*~
and bad news of the day: i dropped my handphone on a rough surface! arhhhhhh... heart PAIN! just look at those scratches... it looks as if my fone has been thru a lot... *sobs*
~*~
bad news, germany scored only one goal. good news, at least they scored one in the last min. *phew* but so wasted, they had sooooo many many shots on goal!
i can still rmb the darn corny comment: "that was close, but not close enough, by Klose (pronouced as closer)." i was so gek alr. hais.
ytd's australia vs japan match almost made my heart stop sia. 3 goals in the last 10mins of the game. totally turned the situation ard. cool. anw, the jap's goal was a lousy one with the goalie being blocked n prob tugged down. =P
the other 2 matches were kinda expected thou. anw, we just mahjong-ed thru both matches la. haha. smth wrong with the chips, so i kinda won only $2? haha. not enough for taxi fare.
anw, me n chris made mushroom soup n garlic toast for supper, but in the end only, me + mad + chris eating, han, dan, zk all KO-ed. so sad. waste our effort sia.
hmmm. went cine for pool n movie. i gotta to brush up my pool skills, anybody wanna play? anw, we watched The Benchwarmers coz the hum fellow din wanna watch Slither.
The Benchwarmers is the lame kinda funny. but i did larf like siao. i think i enjoy lousy humor at times. hehe. we always end up watching stupid show. oh wadeva.
the show reminded me of the time when i got my very own jersey, the first time i stepped into a match, the moment i scored my first goal... =)
i wonder if i'm the last to find out, but fyi: cine's 9th floor screens all the live wc matches, in case u guys need somewhere to watch. ^_____^

~*~
anw, back to cat's bday celebration...
here's her bday cake. btw, she simply refused to let us put all the candles on her cake. trying to hide her age.. so she is kinda only 8 yrs old this yr? hmmm... good try, but we're not blind... haha...
anw, it was damn farnie lar. we stuffed the whole candle into the middle of the cake, and she had to pick it out with her mouth. wahahaha.. evil la, we took turns to stuff the candle deeper n deeper into the cake. den as she tried to take the candle out, owen n james tried to push her face into the cake! *evil* but she managed to anw, well done!!! =)
in the end they started running ard the whole place, coz cat started chasing them ard (of coz to throw cake on their faces!) in the end she threw at owen n owen caught it with his mouth. gd job. haha.
i just sat there innocently n got suanned like siao again. *pui* i tink our grp got v few girls, so i always kena targeted. 1 married, 1 engaged, 1 jus broke up, 1 younger than me... den left me, suay suay kena target sia... that damn owen shout so loud, machiam the whole of S-11 was looking at me lor... can slaughter him man...
anw, i took a lift to mad's place to watch the match. both the matches were kinda unexpected. oh well. nva buy, so nvm.

anw, i met up with yt... and we started wondering abt in town... somehow we ended up at BEN & JERRY's at suntec, coz of our sudden craving =) call me suaku or wadeva, i tried Phish Food for the first time, its *yummy*!!! heehee... anw, i derno why i just love ben n jerry's so much. just the sight of the colourful deco makes us happy. the taste of it totally melts us. sounds a bit corny, but nvm.
den i went peninsula to collect my altered levi's. i think i altered too many things at that tailor. i think the uncle can recognise me lor. hais. bobian. i m short mah, so all my pants must alter the length. this tailor is ex, but the workmanship is good. anw, the uncle asked me how many pairs of pants i have lor, so weird... haha~
den me n yt continued our shopping trip n we ended up buying tonnes of accessories, like for herself, me n 2 other frens. haha. just felt like buying leh. coz they're so pretty. arhhhhh. okok. anw, i got more necklaces, bangles, a pretty hairclip! =)
we decided its enuf for the day, so we had dinner at LJS while we cont talking abt almost anything under the sun! we're just 2 bummers who are absolutely free and loves to chat! heehee~
went bishan to walk walk ard, coz yt had to get stuff... and then we headed home. but we forgot to take pic tgt. and dad was there to pick her up alr. hmmm. nvm. next time. sure got chance.
~*~
ohh btw, its py's bday. HAPPY B-DAY! i got her some small gift and i drew her a card. (can tell i m pretty free eh?) anw, i'm proud of my art. muahahaha.. =)
btw, we used to call for bill at Ting Tai Fung, now must self-service at the counter one. eeyer.

~*~
btw, i think age is catching with my dad. lols. he's getting slow man. ytd, when i offered to help him place bets coz he forgot to... he replied in surprise, "huh? u're 18 already?" like hello, i m turning 19 soon. hehe.
here are 5 good reasons why not to ride a bike (besides the danger):
so ppl, dun go learn how to ride a bike. instead, go learn how to drive a car! so hmm... who wanna go sign up for lessons tgt with me? haha! =)
we had dinner at coffee club. they disappointed me yet again, with their slow service. shuden have given them a second chance. but anw. last time i visited coffee club express @ wisma n they served my food in 45mins. i was damn hungry then. this time round its coffee club express, no wonder its s.l.o.w.e.r. hais. they took qte a while to inform us that particular dish was not good enough to be served and so we had to change order. fyi, mad was starving. *shakes head*
anw, we had the ultimate indulgence - chocolate fondue!!! =) it wasnt that fantastic, but u cant really go wrong fresh fruits dipped in warm chocolate! *grins* but sadly, their refill for a bowl of choc costs three bucks. so stingy. oh btw, they actually used a soup bowl for the first bowl of choc. farnie.
btw, a group of ppl was beating some brazilian beats. it felt so worldcup. and mad was so into her brazil will win talk, i decided to draw this (look below). ENGLAND CHAMPS '06. i admit brazil is good. but i still support England. =P
i only bought one top from levi's. simple design, pink prints on a black tee. but i like. lolx. it was such a worth-it-buy. hmm. and i bot lotsa *ehems* from robinson.. yepp! =)
din buy a lot of things, but we stayed at raffles city till 11 plus, coz there was this DAMN GOOD band performing. btw, they're called enigma. the two of us were just immersing ourselves in their music and throughly enjoying the moment. cool stuff.
~*~
i finalised my decision and accepted NTU's offer for business. =)
ytd, i had a relatively nice n sweet dream. but it made me sad n moody nevertheless.
i was smiling to myself as i opened my eyes, but the next sec i had my eyes closed.. and i felt the urge to cry so badly. coz its afterall only a dream - one that will neva come true.
some ppl say: u will dream at nite of wadeva u think of in the day. not exactly true. at least for me. but then again, it might be sub-concious. *shrugs*
anw, i just dun like the way how a pretty bubble just burst right in front of me. like the dream did. maybe i m not suited to pin too high hopes on myself n things. oh well.
everyone yearns for a perfect life, but life is never that perfect. only one person can determine whether life is perfect. and thats yourself. its a matter of perspective. riteee... but more often than not, perspectives are moulded by reality.
n if u were to ask me, maybe my life was perfect, when i was a kid, innocent n untainted, with simple wants n easily attainable goals. but now... its not even close to perfect. no wonder the best memories are childhood memories. well, thats all i feel like saying.
wooooh!~ i'm on my way to get my very own driving licence. Here i come!!! =)
~*~
coz zhen n i din really expect to pass so easily, so din plan anything after the test... apparently it was impromptu, and we went tpy kbox for celebration! in the end, we din bother to check out j*son for mad. lols. but we recognised the guy who passed mad the poster! wahahaha...
okk. thats all folks! =)
