i haven't been blogging cos i'm just too lazy.. rarr. plus sometimes i don't see the point of recording stuff that seem insignificant. owellss.

i'm bored now. sitting in the office all alone. waiting for prof to call. oh dear, today's going to be either a hectic day, or a plain boring one involving lots and lots of medical reports depending on whether prof calls or not. considering my current state of mind, i think i'd rather have the boring day cos i just feel like slackinggg. and doing medical reports is the best excuse to slacckkk.. :)

watched x-men III yesterday. :) wonderful wonderful show! aiyah so sad when XXX died. andd the silliest thing about yesterday was when i kept mishearing things! :(

erin: i'm going to collect my happy results.
me: wad happy results? happy??!
ym: laugh laugh laugh
erin: HEP B LARR.

:(

aww shucks. i can't seem to remember the others. but they were funnyyy!

and yest i found out that ymw likes the same kind of music as i do! yayyy! now the only thing i have to do is to convert her to like chinese songs too! so we can listen to them together without her whining and complaining! :) wahahaha.

hellohello!! :)

i'm totally happy today! :) i had 2 wonderful mealssss.. plus yesterday was our long-overdued outingg with piggie, sy and shihui :) ahhhh...

yesterday was the first time i realised how fun cycling and singing simultaneously can be. especially if you're singing jay chou songs. hahaaaa. andd i also learnt how not to read a book by it's cover.. if not we wouldn't have waltzed into a looks-posh-and-ex-but-actually-dirt-cheap shop and spend so much time wandering inside! ahhh i have to meet up with those girlies again soon or else i'll start suffering from withdrawal syndromes!!

lunch at min jiang and dinner at orchard hotel today. they don't just sound indulgent, they really REALLY are! din sum and lobster noodles... somehow i preferred the less "luxurious" dim sum to the lobster dish... to me, the lobster tasted just like another prawn. uh ohhh. something's wrong with me... maybe i'm just a simiple girl with simple tastess.

haha the company at dinner was hilarious! i didn't expect my MUM'S FRIENDS to be sooo funny and uninhibited! they are the ultimate korean-drama-groupies and gossip queens, they talked non-stop for 3 hours straight! mostly about nothing in particular and the ah-peh at the next table who kept going back to get extras and who could peel a green apple with a knife in one single piece! i really pitied the tables close to us cos i bet their nice soothing dinner was interrupted numerous times with crazy outbursts from the four of us. :) i laughed until i cried. :)

ahhh.. such a wonderful day! and tmr i better sleep early. champions league final!!! :)

hohoho! i passed my final theory test today! all in 10 minutes! :) i think i had too much practice before the test... cos all the test questions looked familiar or i actually knew the answer even before the options appeared.

had tuition again today. tuition's going well i suppose. no student has quit cos of our substandard teaching. there were a few demanding parents who were questioning our age, "are those two students or teachers?? they look like students leh!". irritating snobs. now i know what my mummy faces each day... :( people really are class-conscious, no matter how much we all try to treat everyone the same way. i think even people who stick to that motto will unconsciously be prejudiced against people who seem to be 'lower-class'. especially so for all those silly parents who think the WORLD of their precious children, enough to brag whole-heartedly to anyone and everyone, and most of the time that would include my poor mum who then has to withstand them all. then they find out that my mum has a daughter from rjc and their whole attitude changes.. start sweet-talking her and all. such is the human nature... rather disappointing eh?

ok well.. enough ranting.. i have nice cold longans with almond jelly waiting for my consumption... how wonderful. :)

today is aunty 2's birthday!!! and we all trooped down to shangri-la hotel for high tea!!! sounds like i'm on my way to tai-tai-dom soon haha.

well.. high tea isn't really just tea. however, first things first, the tea there was fantastic. there seemed to be endless kinds of tea that were on offer! hahah the funniest of all: the drinks menu, made up of around 20 pages, had a grand total of ONE page for coffee!! (: it's really high tea hahaa.

well it was so extremely filling. so much so that we all skipped dinner without complaints. and that is quite rare, knowing my brother's appetite.

hokayyy. i had better get down to replying cambridge mail. it's been lying there for ages already. ):

no more interviews!!!!! yippeee!! :) today's psc interview was the last of the last of all interviews, scholarships or university admissions, that i will have to take for the rest of the year!! :) gosh it's such a relief!

yes the elections concluded peacefully last weekend and i must say that i'm not surprised at the result, yet i still feel a tad disappointed at the inability of the opposition to win more seats... poor hammers.. tried so hard and gave it their best, yet still unable to shake off the PAP. it's amazing how everyone around pledges their support for the opposition and believes that it's only going to do singapore politics good if we induct more opposition candidates into parliament, but eventually all these seem to be just empty talk. singaporeans obviously voted conservatively for the PAP even as a larger percentage of us see the merit of having an alternative voice from the opposition to check the ruling party. it's a shame... we're back at square one, having exactly the same scenario as that of GE2001. owell... we can't do nothing now! i just hope that PAP doesn't shoot down suggestions from chiam see tong or low thia khiang or possibly, sylvia lim in parliament after all the hard work they've put in. give them the money!! keep the upgrading promise!!! don't control them to the point when it seems restrictive.. they've earned their place in the people's hearts and that's what counts.

hahaha after saying all these, when i saw that look of utter depression on eric low's face in the straits times that day, i felt so sorry for him. sigh, i'm such a sucker for tears (which seemed to be welling up in his eyes hehee)...

ooh rallies are one fun get-together!

the worker's party is garnering strength and in my opinion, they have a good chance of clinching more places in parliament. went for their rally at serangoon just now and there was so much fanfare. haha. people were waving those little white flags with hammers and chanting worker's party worker's party! it almost overwhelmed me, noticing the extent of personal participation that singaporeans are showcasing. i must have been standing in the hard-core worker's party supporters' section, otherwise there wouldn't have been people wearing shirts emblazoned with 'YES! i'm voting for opposition' (yep that was quoted from the shirt, no 'the' before the 'opposition'), huge placards with 'I LOVE SYLVIA' on it or citizens clapping furiously at every sentence from the speaker.

well, then there was this group of ah bengs behind me who kept laughing at the 'wei guo wei min' yellow banners that accompanied low tia khiang onstage when he started his speech. hmm.

the best part was the way cars were parked in the area encircling serangoon stadium. there were cars parked on the kerb, on double yellow lines, on the left lane of the public road, on the grass patch beside the stadium where the occupants were still sitting in the car and there were people just standing around their car. never seen before in singapore, only surfacing during elections. brings about the worst in people, don't u think? in both everyday singaporeans and our election candidates as well. all these rallies where our ministers-to-be shoot down any opposition with any methods available, whether or not they are nice or nasty, personal or otherwise. you'd think they were incapable of being rude or demeaning given their polite, efficient ruling for the past 5 years. and then u finally see them getting challenged openly in a war of words, see the loopholes in their policies being prised wide open, and relish the pinpoint of their every slip of the tongue; which then makes you think whether or not you've been blindly led by them for these past 5 years.

well, tmr's polling day. we'll see the outcome inevitably. it's been a good election campaign season though, breaks the monotony of the monopoly.

ooh i kinda like the last phrase. hahaha.

giving tuition is one tiring job. especially if you did it consecutively for 3 days, 7 hours each. :S yep, so that sums up what i was up to the whole weekend, including the labour day holiday. how ironic...

yess. i came home early enough today to snatch some computer time from under my brother's nose!!! HAHH! now he has to wait. oh for all those who aren't familiar with my domestic computer scheduling, it goes something like this: first come first serve. that's basically it. the fact that the same person has been using the computer for a few hours already or for days on end doesn't give any sympathy points to the other in the fight for computer usage. this is how it's like. a warrrr. :)

today, the driving instructor was purposely picking on me. but try as he might, he couldn't squeeze any major mistakes out of me. HAAAHH. i decided since trying to be friendly didn't help one bit the previous times i got him, acting dao was the keyyyy. :) and so, dao i was. didn't talk much, just concentrated on not making any mistakes so that he could not have the chance to scold me at all. it turned out to be one of my most quiet lessons of all time, it's significant given the fact the all the other quiet sessions was with that guyy. at the end of the lesson, i couldn't help but feel that i'd won the battle today! hahha i should give myself i pat on the back. :)

ahhh. teddy geiger's lyrics are sooo cuteee:

Wondering the streets,
in a world underneath it all
Nothing seems to be,
nothing tastes as sweet
As what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you.

Forgive me if I stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
Cuz I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar, i've crossed you in hallways a thousand times,
no more camouflage
I want to be exposed,
and not be afraid to fall.
