X-Men 3 ... & The Art of Appreciation
Caught X-Men 3 last night... it's damn good! The effects are amazing la... it's so worth the money (even though I spent like an extra $20 on 2 extra tickets due to my blunder the night before thought internet booking).
Anyway I'd like to say that I really appreciate the effort Andrew made in accordance to my being angry with him for not spending enough time with me. He made the whole of his yesterday free just so that the entire day can be spent with me. I'm really glad cos it meant that he actually listened, and that my unhappiness really meant something to him, for him to actually try to make things better. People say guys dun listen, girls complain that their bfs do not attempt to change when they find fault with them, many guys just take their gfs' topics of quarrels as mindless ramblings. But I realize how not to let those scenarios happen. It is simply, to always remember to show your partner that you appreciate what he/she has done for you, no matter how small a gesture. It is these acknowledgements that make the sacrifices worthwhile. No one like to be taken for granted, so no matter how much this guy/girl loves you, if you continue to keep being on the receiving end and take it for granted that he/she will forever be the giving party, there will be a day whereby the giver will be tired out and find the r/s a mere obligation he/she cant wait to get out of. This is why I planned to thank him when we reached my place after the movie, for spending the entire day with me and that I really appreciate it. But he beat me to it and thanked me first, for spending the day with him. Haha... I wasn't expecting that from him really...
Sometimes I feel that being so polite with the "thank you"s increases the formality between 2 people. It's something like, you are so close to your own family that all such formalities are lost and if one day your dad does something nice for you like buy you lunch and you thank him, he will most probably think there's something very wrong with you. But just sometimes, thanking your family members will show them that you are not taking them for granted. Same thing goes for a couple... everyone would like their effort to be appreciated, so sometimes, be more generous on the appreciative words... it take so little effort to thank a person, but the amount of satisfaction the person gets for being appreciated, is priceless.
Hey kid... thanks again.

Couldn't resist putting this up... this is my bro's artpiece... oh and for the info of those who are unaware, my bro is taking Art as one of his A Level subjects. The left pic is the one from the book, while the one on the right is the one painted by him. Actually it's not done yet, he's actually filling up the background in black now, but I was took gan cheong and took the photo before he's done with it. Poor kid... has been on this drawing since dinnertime...
Anyway I'm so super pissed with GV online booking of tickets now. I was happily booking the tickets when some problems arose on my last step of the booking, then I had to restart my comp. So naturally I would assume that the initial booking was cancelled cos technically I hadn't completed the whole transaction. And so I went on to book the tickets all over again... and after I'd completed the transaction I went to check my transaction status, I have 4 tickets under my name!!! And I cant cancel it cos I paid using eNets, meaning the money has already been deducted from my bank account! Bloody hell!!! I feel so damn shitty now cos I've 2 extra tickets on hand, which means $20 into the air?? If anyone wants to watch X Men 3 today (26/5) at 7pm, PLS let me know!!! I am SO SO SO damn upset now...

Over The Hedge
Went to catch this yesterday with my siblings... the animation is good la... the characters very cute, but I dun particularly like the plot cos they bring in the human world, with the creatures aiming to get into the house to steal potato chips etc. Dun like leh... prefer animal cartoons to be fully nature based.
My fav characters! The 3 small porcupines... so cute!!!
Anyway apparently because I'd been complaining too much of being too free at home... now I'm anything but free. Initially this job introduced by Rion is supposed to end today, and that's the only consolation I felt when I was dragging myself out of the bed this morning. And now they inform us that they need us to continue work till friday. And then, Yiru msged me this morning to ask me if I wan to take up this data entry job, to work till july. Then I figured that even though I'm complaining of being very tired now, but once I start slacking and having nothing to do again I'll be very irritated after a while... so might as well take it up. Bleah...
Anway thanks for all u my buddies' concern, but I'm fine already la. It's tiring to be angry for too long... and well, I'm glad that I finally could talk it over calmly with him, and not in a fit of anger. Anyway I would like to share this story of one of my fellow part-timer colleague... actually it is cos of this story that made me decided to end the quarrel. (ok but according to Andrew he never quarrelled with me in the first place, I was the only one doing the quarrelling... idiot...)
We were entering data into the nokia handphone chips... then this colleague of mine played this song on her comp, and she told us that this song came out when her boyfriend passed away. She's only a few years older than me. Then suddenly after I heard her say that I'm not angry with him anymore... because sometimes u need to be reminded on how lucky you actually are... at least I have him safe and sound with me. And when you think of it that way, why would you want to take that fact for granted? I believe if she had a choice, she would rather her boyfriend is still around and she'll never ever pick a quarrel with him forever. Although I do admit that sometimes quarrels are necessary in a r/s to let both parties understand each other better, it's also a way for both parties to know how to make the r/s better...
Alamak... start this entry on a happy note, then end with such a sad story... bleah. But to my friends, no need to worry for me la... I believe I'm in very good hands. =)

Me: I guess the only thing I can do now is to get a job...Him: Yes you should..I dunno what's wrong with me but I was still quite calm when I received his call... I was trying to let go of the argument I had with him last night... and again I was agitated, by the exchange above. So now it seems like it's my fault for having too much time on hand to bring up this quarrel with him la? My fault, when he is the one who happily place me on the lowest of his priority list. Maybe this would not be a problem at all if I have many commitments at hand and not so much free time... maybe there would be no quarrel if I din have time to even tink of him... maybe this maybe that. Now it's MY fault apparently.
Patience has a limit. Rion said that I am being a very patient gf when he asked me to sleep cos tmr need to go work but I told him I gotta wait up for his call. He himself said that I've been very patient with his work commitments all these while. So I'm supposed to continue to be this patient girl whom everyone appreciates la? But you know what... patience has a limit... I hate to be pushed towards that limit... and I hope I'll never ever have to reach it.
I know that he is trying his best already (or should I say I HOPE he is trying his best), and I am also trying my best to be tolerant already. I'll be gg to China for holiday on the 7th... which leaves abt 2 more wks here. And guess wad? 2 weeks seem like a long long time, but if I'm even lucky, I would only be able to meet him 2 times more before I fly off. It sux...
I'm going to have another bad night's sleep again tonight...

Random Updates...1. I'd gotten a temp job now... introduced by Rion. And now I roped in Ah-Tan too... haha. We're programming the games software for the nokia handphone chips. Sounds damn cool rite? But it's boring and monotonous... luckily the fellow part-timers and nice... and so we can happily entertain one another!
2. I'd went to catch the midnight slot of Da Vinci Code with Jo, Cryst & Andrew. Bumped into Fang outside the theatre... imagine that, midnight slot at sorta ulu pandan cinema Eng Wah Suntec also can bump into people. Haha... and then after that we went Cryst's place to stayover... had a scary ordeal with her dog, cos it rushed into the room unexpectedly, leaving Jo & I screaming on top of our lungs, waking the house up at almost 3am. Anw that will be the last time we'll be going her house. Sompah.
3. I'm a redhead now... not the super bright red la... dark red. Dee helped Cryst and I make an appointment one wk back... so today we went straight for our hair appt from Cryst's lor. Love my new hair colour... but I'm hoping hard that the colour will not fade till the usual yellowish brown after a while!
4. I think I'm liking Andrew's bro and sis more and more... in fact, even more than my liking for him. Oh dear...
5. Oh... and definitely not forgetting... I miss Man Tou!!! (But his auntie aka PZ is not free until sch reopens... damn... there goes my KTV session and Man Tou visiting session!)

2 Day Old BabyYes... I went to visit my newborn baby cousin, who is juz 2 days old. And I get to carry him!!! I remember when I was younger whenever there were newborn babies we kids dun even get to even touch them... now they would happily pass the baby to me without me asking! My aunt purposely try to give birth to him on Vesak Day, cos he's supposed to be due anytime soon... and she really gave birth to him on Vesak Day itself! I can predict that he'll be a wonderful kid when he grows up... in fact, my mum and aunt cant stop complimenting how obedient he is lor... nv cry, let everyone carry, never anyhow wriggle here and there. And as usual... whenever this topic comes up, the next one they aim will be... ME. They would start bringing up the past, abt how naughty I had been as a baby... how much I cry, how stubborn I was, how difficult I was to handle, how I can cry all through the night etc etc. This conversation NEVER dies... it is always brought at one pt or another... damn...
That's my little darling...
2 days old only ok??
Frowning and frowning at all the faces surrounding him... he must be thinking, "why cant they just let me have a peaceful sleep!?!" Hahaha...
And that's my dad carrying the little one! He's so tiny!!!
Oh and last but not least,
Happy Mother's Day to my mum! See... durian cake as our usualy family tradition... we have this for every one of our birthdays! Yummy!!!

My Bintan Trip!Yay... I'm back! Had a really good time over there with my Cedar babes, altho now 3 out of 4 of us are lyk burnt to the core, looking lyk lobsters and emitting alot of heat. Hahaha... Cos apparently for the first and second day we had been trying our best to get the sun, but no matter how bloody hot is the sun, we are still not tanned! So on the last day we went when the sun was the most powerful at 12 plus till 2pm. And then we kinda went overboard with the tanning... which explains why my whole body is in pain now. Moisturizer is my best fren now...
Ok enough of talking... here are the pics!
First pic taken... we met early in the morning at Hougang Mall for breakfast, before taking a cab together to Tanah Merah ferry terminal. Gwen was trying to be funny and gave me that stupid look... and too bad for her, I actually was fast enough to capture that. Haha...
Taken on the ferry... that's YY & me. Altho I din sleep a wink the night before, I still managed to stay awake throughout the journey confiding in YY... ok it's more of a sharing session la... haha...
Taken at the lobby while waiting for our rooms to be ready. That's Gwen with the giant chess set. Tried playing a game with her, but we got bored after a while and din manage to finish the game. Haha...
Our first meal at the resort... cos still waiting for our rooms to be ready. Of cos, the bread is juz an appetizer, and not the main course la... haha...
And then we finally checked in and hit the swimming pool! That's me & YY... Gwen took this pic for us when she was lying beside the pool suntanning...
YY & I at the jacuzzi area of the pool... shiok...
Then after we got sian of the waters we went to swing on the hammock...
Our night activities... ktv and pool. Here Gwen was trying to teach TP how to play pool... and as usual... I was at the ktv area la.
Finally I get to sleep!!! Imagine no sleep at all the night before, plus a whole day of swimming in the sun... no wonder I look lyk a zombie here...
Day 2 - took a shuttle bus to Pasar Oleh Oleh. I expected it to be a small village where the locals stay or something liddat, but they made it so commercialized I was kinda disappointed...
But nonetheless there's still something to buy... haha. YY & I were trying to bargain with this person to lower the price in bahasa indo... managed to lower a bit la... but better than nothing. And we made a new fren!
See... we came back evening time to Pasar Oleh Oleh for dinner... then saw this man again... and we started chatting in bahasa indo again. Then cos we had to wait quite a bit for the bus so he played the guitar and sang for us... so nice huh. I took a video of him serenading YY... sent her alr... I asked her to show it to her bf... make him do something abt it. Maybe go take up guitar lessons or something. *evil laughter*
Played mini monopoly at night... the mini monopoly set is so amazing... SUPER tiny can?? The size of the die is smaller than ur last finger's nailbed! Haha...
I juz realised I dun have a group foto of us altogether... it should be in one of their cameras... will be compiling the photos together soon. Overall I had a really great time... even though there's really nothing much u can do on a resort island holiday, but it's the company that matters. Thanks babes!! =)

To Bintan I Go!
Will be leaving for Bintan early tmr morning... going for 3 days 2 nights. Actually beside me now is a box of strepsils, a packet of sour plum, a box of medicine for mouth ulcers, a bottle of chinese medicine for cuts and a box of motion sickness pills. So amazing... needless to say, they're from my dad. He was nagging and nagging so much at me juz now... abt what to bring, what to do, what not to do, who to talk to, who not to talk to... what to msg him when I reach, what to msg him before I slp... and the list goes on. But cant really blame him la... first time his baby daughter go on a holiday on her own... I dun even noe if he can sleep well tonight man. Haha... that's my darling dad for u.
Went to watch MI:3 with Andrew juz now... not bad... but well, I din catch the first 2, so I dun actually have much to compare it to. Will most probably be missing him these few days away... but then again, he'll be too busy with work to even notice my absence. Bleah...
Ok la, better go start packing my bag... it's almost 12am already and the bag is still very empty. Haha... will be back on Wed!!!

Introducing Eil's personal salon... her room's deco is damn cool. Anw this is Cheryl doing the curls for PZ!
Fooling around with the cameras after everyone's done with our retro get-up! I LOVE my curls!!! Eil seem to do it so effortlessly! I really should go get the curling thingy soon... la la la... I love my curls...
I seem to be born in the wrong era... cos I look so "sixties", according to PZ! Haha...
And then we finally made our way down to the bday girl's place... erm... and we were the latest and everyone were waiting for us to complete the crowd, before bringing the bday girl down to give her the surprise.
Kim, still in a state of shock...
I dunno who took this using my camera... but I'm going to put it up so show-off my curls! I repeat... I LOVE MY CURLS!!! Hehe...
Kim with us, after changing into a more retro getup... well wad can I say... her sunglasses is... SO RETRO!
Retro Styled Charlie's Angels!

But I'm really glad that Jo made it even when her exams are juz arnd the corner and Cryst too, who came after her lessons, despite having a full day in school. Well as usual... when we meet up, and have no idea what to eat for dinner, we always end up in Wisma Ichiban Boshi. I really think we should go buy a Singapore guide book for new places to explore man...
Jo & Cryst...
Lijia, me and Dee
After sushi we went to our usual after-dinner haunt, Coffee Bean. And guess wad... I met Tab there! Ok actually we were sitting at the sofa seats beside the glass panel, and suddenly this mad woman came knocking frantically on the glass! Haha... that's so like Tab man... and anw my frens got a huge shock la... haha! Was damn surprised to see her, but it was a good surprise... not often u get to bump into someone u noe outside, and whom u're close to sumore. Usually u bump into pple whom u're not so close to, but still gotta acknowledge their presence by showing a very "mian qiang" smile. Bleah...
Anw after we got chased out by Coffee Bean when they were closing, we hopped over to BK at Cine... and we juz talked and talked and talked... and then decided to share cab home together. Could've stayed out later if not cos of my dad who started calling me at 11 plus. Oh man... wad a wonderful outing... Haha...

This Is So Cute!1. You throw a little girl a ball, and it will hit her in the nose. You throw a little boy a ball, and he will try to catch it. Then it will hit him in the nose.
2. You dress your little girl in her Easter Sunday best, and she'll look just as pretty when you finally make it to church an hour later. You dress a boy in his Easter Sunday best, and he'll somehow find every mud puddle from your home to the church, even if you're driving there.
3. Boys' rooms are usually messy. Girls' rooms are usually messy, except it's a good smelling mess.
4. A baby girl will pick up a stick and look in wonderment at what nature has made. A baby boy will pick up a stick and turn it into a gun.
5. When girls play with Barbie and Ken dolls, they like to dress them up and play house with them. When boys play with Barbie and Ken dolls, they like to tear off their appendages.
6. Boys couldn't care less if their hair is unruly. If their bangs got cut a quarter-inch too short, girls would rather lock themselves in their room for two weeks than be seen in public.
7. Baby girls find mommy's makeup and almost instintively start painting their face. Baby boys find mommy's makeup and almost instinctively start painting the walls.
8. If a girl accidently burps, she will be embarrassed. If a boy accidently burps, he will follow it with a dozen fake belches.
9. Boys grow their fingernails long because because they're too lazy to cut them. Girls grow their fingernails long - not because they look nice - but because they can dig them into a boys arm.
10. Girls are attracted to boys, even at an early age. At an early age, boys are attracted to dirt.
11. By the age of 6, boys will stop giving their dad kisses. By the age of 6, girls will stop giving their dad kisses unless he bribes them with candy.
12. Most baby girls talk before boys do. Before boys talk, they learn how to make machine-gun noises.
13. Girls will cry if someone dies in a movie. Boys will cry if you turn off the VCR after they've watched "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie three times in a row.
14. Girls turn into women. Boys turn into bigger boys.

Supper @ Chomps
Met Gwen & YY for supper at Chomp Chomp... and cos Gwenny drove, my dad din call to check on me even after 11pm! But then again... my parents already knew them since they were 13-yr-old nerds. Hahaha... these are the frens whom I know will be there for many many years to come... who will be bridesmaids at my wedding, who will be at my first kid's birthday etc etc. (Ok I'm digressing WAY too far... but that was to get my pt across). Ya then since they are such an impt bunch of frens... Andrew came down after work juz to say hi before meeting his fren... which I'm really appreciative la... at least he's not THAT busy.
Anw after that we went Ice^3 for dessert... which explains that yummy looking mudpie picture on top... it's some rum & raisin alcoholic mudpie! I shared with wif Gwenny. Raisins are not exactly at the top of my favourite food list, but those raisins are so fat, fully soaked with alcohol! Damn shiok.. but after clearing all of the fat alcoholic raisins (cos Gwen hates raisins), I felt a bit high alr. So damn useless, get high over some raisins!?! Bleah...
Anw I cant wait to go Bintan wif them... we were so high discussing abt wad to do there, what to eat, night activities etc etc. And even when Gwen was sending me home we were still goin on abt the trip and suddenly we juz exclaimed at the exact same time "cant wait for Monday!" See... being born on the same day DOES give us some telephatic connection k... Hahaha...

Feeling of Non-Existence
For the past few days I felt like my existence in the world is almost invisible to others. The feeling is really quite bad... like u're stuck in an empty house from morning till evening, with nothing to do because firstly, ur frens are still having exams, and secondly, ur bf has no time for u. The feeling totally sucks... (but I gotta admit it was my pms period also la...haha...)
It's like... sometimes I feel so vexed abt something and I need to confide in someone, and for the first time I need to actually pause and go down my list of frens in my head to decide who can I call, compared to usually how I would juz pick up my fone and can take my pick of who to call cos I noe they'll always be there to listen to me rant. Now it turned out that they're still having exams or preparing for exams... and I gotta bottle up my feelings and keep them to myself till today, which I finally exploded to a fren on msn la... not feeling totally fine now, but not half as bad already. Thanks Vic...
And sometimes I wonder if I'm really attached or not cos I'm feeling pretty much like a single now, except the unspoken commitment and minus the absolute freedom. It's like, finally I have time in my hands, and now he's so busy. When I was having exams we had to squeeze time out to meet, now that I've as much time as I want, and I gotta spend it alone at home.
Sigh...
But I'm finally so glad that more and more of my frens have finished their exams already... wad am I to do without u guys man... sigh...

Getting a Job?Well... was in a better mood now compared to yesterday la... feeling was quite bad last nite... couldn't even sleep well cos of the many issues planted into my poor brain by Andrew (note that for once I'm not using "my dear uncle"... cos not in a very "dear" mood now u see).
Anw wad happened last nite was him nagging at me that I should go get a job instead of sleeping at home everyday, which I do admit, is what I'm doing now la. But what I feel is that I'd juz finished exams, and I have 3 months break... I'll be going overseas midway... so wun getting a job now be very not-here-not-there? Well but I gotta admit that there is some sense in his argument la. His point of view is that every job is a learning experience, and what better time to get these experiences than now, when u're schooling and can afford to try out different fields of the working world? My point of view is that you have the rest of ur entire life to work, why wan to start now, when u can still afford to slack?
He feels that I should try out different jobs now so that I would find out my interests, but I already know what my interest is -- teaching. (I know this may sound totally ridiculous to some of my frens here, but I really do enjoy being a teacher!) But his argument is that every field of job teaches u different things, what I learn from another totally unrelated to teaching job will also teach me things which can be applied to what I'm going to do in future... well... which makes sense too. But then again, I'm not going to juz anyhow land myself a job la... call me picky or wad... but I wan to at least enjoy what I'm doing la... even if it's work.
So... after much tossing and turning in bed last night, I finally came up with a compromising solution. I would still wan to play now... not ready to go work yet... and plus I'm going holiday for 2 wks in June, which is lyk in the middle of nowhere. So... I'm kinda keen in trying out sales, as in be a salesgirl, cos that's one field I'd never tried before. Then if I could really get a sales job, I could continue working throughout my schooling period... whereby I can work a few days a week... which I personally think is a good idea, compared to finding some holiday job, and work abt a month, then quit. And also cos I'd tried tuition and is rather sian of it (hey, teaching in a sch is totally different frm tutoring, so I'm not being self-contradicting here), so I wun really consider tutoring during my schooling period anymore.
So... solution is that I would start looking for a sales job after my China trip ok? End of discussion. Ultimately I'm still going to expose myself to the outside world, juz that it will start a few months later, and I also get to have my share of slacking and doing nothing.
