Thoughts from The Garden

Busy June!

2008-06-22T00:08:00.003+08:00

June has been a busy week fer me! Never has time flown by so quickly before (with the exception of holidays - time goes by in supersonic mode when you are enjoying yourself) and I couldn't even stop to catch a breath.

Basically, I bummed out with a friend who was retrenched and free for the most of the weeks that her former company gave her to look for a new job while still on payroll. We went shopping, had coffee, watch serials on mobtv, went cycling at ECP... and even did a day of flyer distribution! It was kinda fun, especially when most of the days in May went by in boredom. We also celebrated LY's birthday, and surprised her by having the staff at Breeks Marina Square bring out the prezzie and cake while singing "Happy Birthday" as loud as they could muster. Loved that surprised look on her face. Too bad I wasn't quick enough to video the moment.

Started on a part time job just this past Tuesday. It's quite fun job. Think I might just continue working there after school starts. Need some moolah, what with all the costs going up... sighs...
Don't really have time to upload photos onto my blog these days. I need sleep! haha I am one who needs at least 7 hours of sleep, or I will be grouchy and tired the whole day. But will try to do so. Some of the pics are in my fb, so if you have added me as a friend on fb, you would be able to see the photos!

Needa go catch my beauty sleep now. Still gotta wake up early tomorrow to go work. Been a long time since I have to work on weekends. Good luck to me.

Back... Finally?

2008-05-22T02:06:00.002+08:00

Ya I know it's been more than 6 months since I last posted any updates on my life. For one thing, I was real busy with school stuff what with tons of projects and tests to cope... well, there wasn't much excitement going in my life too. Somehow I feel... lost. I don't know where I am going, what my aim in life is. Suddenly everything is a blur. I don't know what I want, what I am doing, what I should be doing. I am just like a robot. There are times when I cry myself to sleep. Those who are close to me will know that I ain't one who cries easily, yet these days I do...

Watched Made of Honour the other day with JC and her sis. And yeah I cried. During the scene where they were talking to each other behind closed doors. Actually, the show's plot is quite predictable, so if it's the usual me, I wouldn't cry. But... the story reminded me of someone... Someone whom I never had the guts to reveal my feelings to, because I was afraid of losing his friendship. Yes I am a coward. There are times when I wonder if I am capable of loving... and if there is someone out there who loves me...

I am a lost sheep now, looking for a shepherd to guide the way out of the fog...

Exams Over... It's The Holidays!

2007-11-12T15:29:00.000+08:00

Phew! It's been a long time since I last updated my blog. Been really busy with school stuff, especialli exams. What a nightmare! It's finally over (for now). The emotional rollercoaster that came from all the stress was unimaginable, and the thought of having to go through it for another 3 semesters is making me go berserk... haha well, I chose this path myself, so I've got no one to blame. I shall enjoy this 1 month break that I am having, before school starts again next year. I shall slowly update my life throughout the holidays. There will be more posts coming up! As for now, this is it. Hahaha

The meaning of friends...

2007-08-28T19:23:00.000+08:00

You know, it's funny how some people conveniently forget about you, especially when you do not call them at all. Talk about friends. Some will just forget you when they feel you have no use to them. Not living in the same precinct or working in the same area is a poor excuse for not meeting up. How big can Singapore be? And with technology so advanced, everything's just a call away. Is a call or a message to say how much they miss me so difficult? Maybe... I am not that important. People seem to look for me only when they can't find other people to go out with. And some meet up without me. But well, I guess that is life. They forget about you when they find newer, more exciting friends. Some friends are meant to be treasured, while some... well, I shall not say more. I will just cry...
I am one who treasures the people around me, and that includes friends. While I do make new ones, I never forget the old. I am that loyal. But seems like loyalty is not that important anymore. Whether you have any use for that person seems more important. That seems to be the modus operandi of people today. Guess this is where I don't quite fit in...
I just need someone to care about me... Is it that difficult to find that someone?

Convo . Tattoo . Fireworks . School

2007-08-28T16:34:00.000+08:00

It's been a long time since I last updated my blog... Sorry guys, was caught up with school stuff and work and had no time to update! Well, here's a gist of what happened so far...

July
Joined in the NMC competition with LN in July. We didn't get far though, maybe cause the power of the two is not enough to beat the competition down. Shall make sure to get at least 2 comrades the next time round... Hahaha
Went for GY's convocation at NTU on 25 July. Saw CS and YT there as well, and that was when I realised that they have graduated too! Was surprised to see the two of them, as I have not seen them for a long time. Didn't really talk much though. Guess everyone's tired after a long day. Went for supper with GY, QJ, and CT at AMK Mos Burger and chit-chatted till 11 odd, and headed back home after that.

Accompanied my dear cuzzie ZH to get her 2nd tattoo at Johnny Two Thumbs on 31 July. She decided to get a wing done above her current tribal sun tattoo. Photographed the whole process and boy! Did it get me tempted to get one myself! But I have not thought of what to get yet... Sighs... I want one that is perfect, one that I will not regret. But I have no idea what to get. Should I get tulips (my fave flower)? Or should I get a rendition of Rei (a character from Evangelion)? Or maybe my own Chinese name? Any suggestions anyone?

August
Been rushing my Employment Relations essay for the past month. Did quite a lot of research for the essay, so much so that I did not have much time to type my essay out. Was rushing the last week before the deadline on 24 August to finish it. As for the result? Thought it was good, but not as perfect as I hoped it to be. Well, I guess this teaches me a lesson on time management.
Found time to go and watch the fireworks on 18 August. Boy! Were the fireworks beautiful. But according to my friends, the one on the 17th was much nicer. Well, for me, it doesn't matter, as all fireworks are beautiful!Photo whored while waiting for the fireworks to start, and my battery ran out just a few minutes into the fireworks display. Too much photo whoring I guess. Haha. Nevertheless, caught a few pics before my battery died off. Am waiting for SJ to send me the video of the fireworks. Shall try and upload it (if possible) when I get hold of the video. Shall upload the photos the next time round. Stay tuned!

Little Anjec!

2007-07-17T23:43:00.000+08:00

There's a new addition to my blog, and that is.... Little Anjec! He's a cute little hedgehog, and boy, do I lurve him to bits! Yeah, my new little pet is a male. No special reason, just thought that it would be nice to have a little boy for my very first virtual pet. So today shall be little Anjec's birthday. Let's all sing Happy Birthday to Anjec!
Happie Birthday to you,
You are born in my blog!
Happie Birthday to Anjec,
Happie Birthday to you!!!

And oh, you can play and feed Anjec. Click on him 1 time and he will jump with joy. Click 3 times and he will roll into a cute little ball and bounce and roll. Click on the 'more' tab and you can feed him!

Working and Swimming and Studying...

2007-07-12T23:53:00.000+08:00

I am totally tired out! Went swimming at around 5 today, and boy, did I swim! I think this is the longest that I have swam for so long. I have never been a good swimmer, so it was kinda surprising that I could swim for 90 minutes. Of course I did rest in between lars, but still... Think my stamina has improved bit by bit, which is a good thing, since I am going fer the Shape run come September. But really felt the after effects of swimming so much. My eyes were red (I didn't wear goggles to swim), and my right arm is totally sore and numb... and am feeling tired from the exertion. Think I am getting addicted to swimming. It's much more fun than working out at the gym, and at least it won't make my boobs shrink (according to my dearest cousin, running makes boobs shrink, and I realised mine has grown smaller... muahahaha) and it doesn't put strain on my back that much as running does. The last one's a big deal, since I had a major op on my spine and it's not good to strain my back too much.
Learnt a lesson yesterday, and that is: Never drink wine on an empty stomach. Well, I am always careful on not drinking alcohol on an empty stomach, but yesterday I kinda forgot about it. What happened was, yesterday was my first day at my part time job, and I was kinda happy that everyone's been good to me (so far), so when my friend offered me some wine after the event was over, I just drank it, thinking a little won't hurt. What a big mistake. Vomited when I got back home, and took me a great effort just to shower and go to sleep. Luckily I didn't suffer any hangovers. At least I am not that weak... muahaha
Needa do some studying tomorrow... played abit too much for the past week...

Back To School . Miami Ink

2007-07-11T13:16:00.000+08:00

After a hiatus of a year and 6 months, I am back to the world of studies again. And it's time to enjoy life again! haha, well, being a poor student, I doubt I can do much to enjoy life. Student = Budget lifestyle, haha. Well, guess have to find some cheap and fun ways to enjoy life. Hopefully, I won't fail any of my modules.
I have been watching Miami Ink on Discovery Channel (Ch 16) lately, and I am impressed by some of the works that the tatto artistes have done. Some were totally cool! And Ami James is so cool! Haha Lurve those potraits that Kat has done for her customers. They all make me so want to get a tattoo done myself. What shall I get? Hmm... Something beautiful and original... Have not get an idea yet, but well, a good design needs time to come up with.
Realised I have gained some fats recently. Must be eating too much good food lately. Time to go and hit the gym! Haha, why can't I have the genes where I can eat and not grow fat...

Getting To Know Myself Better...

2007-07-08T00:09:00.000+08:00

Was browsing JC's website, and saw her posting her personality test result. Decided to take it myself since I was kinda bored. Here's the results:
Your view on yourself:You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true. -hmm... sounds like true...
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you meet that person. -well, I certainly hope I am that good with my instincts, to have me know who Mr Right is as soon as I see him.
The seriousness of your love:Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates. -Not true lehs... no guys are asking me out... *sob sob*
Your views on education: Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can. -Very true at this point of my life.
The right job for you:You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.
Who is your true self:You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

50 Ways To Cook Instant Noodles - Part 3

2007-06-28T16:13:00.000+08:00

I know I have not written anything on my blog fer quite some time. Just before I update on the happenings of my life fer the past few weeks, here are some more recipes for cooking instant noodles:

空虛的感覺

2007-06-08T22:48:00.000+08:00

For some reason unknown, I am feeling down lately. It's not that my life is in a mess, or that something bad has happened, it's just that I feel... down. Empty. Especially when it seems everyone doesn't seem to think I am that important a friend, and they seem to have something else better to do other than go out with me... it seems as if like I am there as a friend, 'just in case' they can't find anyone to go out with, they can look for me. Of course not all are like that, but well... guess I am in a weird kind of mood too... Maybe I've got hormonal imbalance... haha
Sometimes, I feel I give more than I receive. I have never felt pampered by a person before. Not even from friends. Some expect me to know them inside out, yet they never bothered to find out more about me. Some will only come lookng for me only when all their other friends are not free. And some... never mind. Forget it. Just to lazy to type. But well, I just feel so tired of giving and giving. All relationships, be it friendship or love, should be a 2-way traffic, at least that's what I think.
Maybe I should go find a remote forest and live there. So that I don't need to care about politics and all these confusing relationships and all...
Okay, I shall not go on rambling. Or I will go on forever. This song suddenly popped to my mind, and it seems to describe part of what I am feeling now quite aptly...

从没说过爱着谁
为谁而憔悴
从来没有想过对不对
我的眼中装满疲惫
面对自己总觉得好累

我也需要人来陪
不让我心碎
让我爱到深处不后悔
其实我并不像他们说的
那样多刺
难以安慰

爱人的心
应该没有罪
为何在夜里却一再流泪
每天抱着寂寞入睡
生活过得没有滋味

别问我是谁
请与我相恋
我的真心没人能够体会
像我这样的人不多
为何还要让我难过

别问我是谁
请和我面对
看看我的眼角流下的泪
我和你并没有不同
但我的心更容易破碎

Atelopus Frog

2007-06-05T16:24:00.000+08:00

Was aimlessly surfing the net when I came across this article in Yahoo, which talks about the discovery of the atelopus frog, which has black skin with flouresecent purple markings, in Suriname, a tiny country in South America. The frog is one of the 24 new species discovered in the remote plateaus of eastern Suriname.

These new discoveries goes to show the amzing variety of animals as well as plants that inhabit Earth. We, humans, who has the power to protect, should help and do something to stop all these beautiful creatures from disappearing from the surface of our blue planet. A little goes a long way. One of the small things we can do is to cut down our use of plastic bags and not waste water and electricity. I am learning too, step by step, to help Earth. To quote a commercial shown on Discovery, It's not as if we can go shopping for another planet. So, let's do our part, no matter how small, to save Earth. Every little measure adds up.

The Addictiveness of May Day...

2007-06-05T11:33:00.000+08:00

Oh no... May Day's songs have been playing in my head ever since I left their concert on Saturday... I don't know how long this symptom will last... That's how addictive their songs can be...
你就是我的天使
保护著我的天使
从此我再没有忧伤
你就是我的天使
给我快乐的天使
甚至我学会了飞翔
飞过人间的无常
才懂爱才是宝藏...
只因我为爱而生
只因为我为爱而生
我来到这个世界
这个人生为你而生存
只因我为爱而生
只因为我为爱而生
就让我越爱越疯
越陷越深越执著的灵魂...
我跟你最好就到这
你对我已经没感觉
到这冻止你也免爱我
我跟你最好就到这
你对我已经没感觉
麦阁伤心麦阁我这爱你你不爱我...
如果要让我活
让我有希望的活
我从不怕爱错就怕没爱过
如果能有一天再一次重返光荣
记得找我我的好朋友....
The lyrics of different songs juxtaposing upon each one another, playing and playing non-stop in my head...

Summer Palace again 又看了颐和园

2007-06-03T23:34:00.000+08:00

Watched Summer Palace again today. Our dear friend YM wanted company to go watch the show at Golden Mile, which is the only cinema showing the movie now, and didn't want to go there alone. So well, had to go there with him. It's perfectly fine with me, as it's really a good show, and I wanted to catch it again. And since someone's treating, of course I wouldn't mind. But well, had to may 12 bucks for taxi fare to get to Bradell MRT as I was running late (Mum had cooked dinner, and so I had to eat first...).
After watching the show the second time round, I realised something that I can totally relate to, that is, time can really change a person's feelings for another... One moment, you can be totally obsessed about a person, and then, as time goes by, that intense emotion will kind of fade... And all that is left is just a heart filled with still water. No desire. No lust. No obsession. No infatuation.

五月天離開地球表面2007 Jump!世界巡迴演唱會

2007-06-02T23:58:00.000+08:00

五月天的演唱會，超棒！

New Header

2007-06-02T00:36:00.000+08:00

Played around with my bloggie today, and added a pic to my header. To complement it, decided to change my header from Thoughts From The Shower to Thoughts From The Garden. Well, it's just a name. If I can find a nice picture to complement my original header, then I might consider changing it back... heez
Anyways, the picture is a digital illustration done by Jason Brooks, one of my fave illustrators. Shall post some of his other works of art in the near future.

Bra Codes Uncoded

Someone emailed me this and I decided to post it on my blog. Something tongue-in-the-cheek and cute. Enjoy!

Chatterbox!

Whee! Finally got Chatterbox onto my bloggie. C'mon people, feel free to leave your mark here with your comments!

A Meal of Big, Fat, Yummylicious Crabs

2007-05-31T22:15:00.000+08:00

It was a really chaotic and busy time at work for the past 3 days. And all I want for Vesak Day is to just relax and rot at home. Which thankfully my wish was fulfilled. Bummed around after I woke up close to 1pm... yeah I know, it's late, but I slept late last night too... Plonked myself right in front of my laptop and TV the whole afternoon.
Went for dinner at No Signboard at Mattar Road with my family, sans my youngest brother . Of course we ordered chilli crab (why else would one go there if not for their crabs? haha), steamed fish and stir-fried asparagus. The crabs were really huge! And fresh and tasty too. My dear little tummy was really bloated after dinner.
Sighs... still have to work tomorrow. Wondering if I should take half day leave...

On the way to dinner...

Arrived!

Steamed fish & chilli crabs... Yum Yum Yum!

Looking at mum's expression, the bill must be quite shocking...

Swimming Alone, Camera Whoring and Bad Dinner

2007-05-27T22:54:00.000+08:00

It's Sunday!
Woke up close to 12 and had brunch, which was just a simple fare of porridge and home cooked food. Sat in front of the black box and caught some HK serial that was showing on Ch 255. At 4 odd, I decided to go down for a swim. Alone. Being used to having company whenever I go swimming so that I can swim and chat at the same time, it really felt kind of lonely. For the first few moments anyway. As I swam, it actually felt kind of therapeutic, and I enjoyed it, so much so that I didn’t want to get out of the swimming pool. I had to, otherwise I won’t have my dinner.
Went to Circuit Road Hawker Centre for steamboat with my family. I have to say, the standard of their food has dropped over the years. The food’s not fresh at all, and felt the price of their food is way too high for such kind of quality. Even the satay gravy which we loved is not as good as before. No wonder over the years, the number of customers that patronise them has dropped. Shall make it a point not to go there anymore.
Camera whored on the way there, and continued to do so when I got home. You can say that I am affair a red hot affair with my camera mobile phone recently. Haha. Shown here is just the tip of the iceberg of what I took on Sunday alone… Muahahaha

I am in love with myself...

Where we went for dinner (can you spot my mum and bros?)

A Day Spent At Vivocity

2007-05-26T23:57:00.000+08:00

Today's finally weekend!! It's been quite a drama at work this week and now at last, I can finally enjoy myself.

Met QJ and her friend at ard 3odd to go Vivocity to shop. Bought quite abit of stuff, which includes an umbrella, a skirt, and a beary bank, and would've bought more, if not for the fact that I must start saving. Been buying quite abit of stuff lately. Not good, not good at all.

GL, CC and his friend and we had dinner at the Chicken Rice Stall. The food's not bad, but their service definitely needs improvement. Lots. GL, CC and his friend and I then headed to watch Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End. I was quite disappointed with the movie actually. It was too long, there's no story, and the plot's confusing. I have to say the effect's good, but there's basically nothing beyond that. And the best part is, they made the ending such that it seems like there's going to be another sequel coming out.

After the movie, we went for some drinks at Pacific Coffee. Chatted for awhile, and headed back home. Real tired now. So think I'll turn in. And hopefully I'll go swimming as planned tomorrow.

GL and Me

My Chocolate Paradise!

What I've bought today and for the past couple of weeks...

Swimming . Photo Whoring . Family Bonding

2007-05-21T22:49:00.000+08:00

I must be mad. Went swimming today, despite having sore muscles from yesterday's gymming. But felt good. It's been quite some time since I last stepped into a pool. Swam with JY, and we talked abit as we took rests. Too bad I couldn't spend the whole noon in the pool, as I had to meet RC and TT. But well something happened. I rushed like mad, showering and getting ready to go out. And while I was on the train, RC msged me to say they'll be real late and could only meet me at 6+. And it was only 4 something when they msged me... Decided to go to North Point with JY instead to shop fer prezzie. Went back to Woodlands to meet my family fer dinner. While on the way, did abit of camera whoring (as seen below... haha).
Went to Thomson Plaza after dinner to check out how it has changed after the revamp. Did abit of grocery shopping. Went home, tired but happy. And to face the consequences of even sorer muscles the next day...

Gymming . Changi

2007-05-20T01:32:00.000+08:00

Didn't do much on Saturday. Just went to the gym at my place to work out. Gosh! It's been ages since I last exercised and really need to get back to the routine, otherwise I'll turn into a big ugly blob of fat. Haha. Went to grandma's place fer dinner and then followed my mum to pick my bro up from the airport. Waited fer him fer like an hour, as he busied himself buying alcohol and queuing up to pay for them. And while waitn', took some pics...

Dim Sum . Summer Palace

2007-05-16T23:31:00.000+08:00

Whee! Finally got my bonus yesterday! My colleague and I went for a little celebration during lunch by having dim sum at 包今天. The food’s not bad, and presentation quite nice. Met CC in the evening for dinner and to watch Summer Palace. In my opinion, Summer Palace is definitely one of the best movies to be shown this year. It revolves around the lives of 4 people during a period a climate of change in China, and how the events affect their lives and change the course of the lives. There is no Hollywood glamorisation of characters and plot, no photoshopped effects. The plot is simple, and the scenes are shot simply, with no special effects or special lighting. The actors have barely any makeup on. No eyeliner, no mascara, no fake lashes, almost no foundation. The director, Lou Ye, tells the story as true to life as it can be, and makes no attempts at masking the fact that we humans have sex and masturbate, and that most of us will cheat on our partners at some point or another. Watching the movie, it seems more like watching a home made video, or a documentary of sorts. It certainly made me think what life as an ordinary human is about. The pace is slow, but not to the point that will make you bored to tears. Instead, there is something philosophical about this intended slow pace. I like the poetic monologues in some of the scenes too. This is definitely a show to catch if you are over 21 (The movie is R21 rated). But if you are the kind who likes action and climaxes, then this is not for you.
Watched Planet Earth today. Have not missed an episode so far, a feat that I am quite proud of *smirks* But getting kind of lazy to document that episodes. I feel that it is better to just watch the documentary than put t down in words. My limited vocabulary is not enough to describe some of the astounding scenes that are featured in it. Anyways, found the official websites for Planet Earth - http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/planet-earth/about/episode.html

What I had fer lunch...

And Dinner!

The Movie

Of Mark and Albino Alligators

2007-05-14T23:03:00.000+08:00

This week's Do Not Disturb has Mark Lee helming the episode. I must say it's a really good effort by him. He really protrays his AIDS-stricken character well, showing the emotions and turmoil that he is going through. While most of the other episodes have almost equal parts for the male and female characters, for this one, Mark is clearly the focus. Next week is the final episode, and I will stay at home to catch it.
Was browsing the website when I came across an article on an albino alligator. I have heard of white tiger and white lion, but this is the 1st time that I have heard of alligators! Anyways, here's a pic of the said alligator.

Between Me and The Celebrities

I was reading the Straits Times and came across this article introducing a website that shows which celebrity you look like most. Decided to post a photo of myself and see if I resemble any of the celebrities. You can see the results below. It seems like I've got a pretty international face. But it's not 100% accurate, as different photos may yield different results. But well, it's all in the name of fun! Shall try my other photos and see which celebrity appears the most. Shall post my other results soon!

Phantom of the Opera

2007-05-08T23:54:00.000+08:00

Just came back from watching Phantom of the Opera. And it is really a fantastic show, as what critics have said all these years and the sheer number of people who have watched the musical have proved. The props are ingenious, and the transitions between scenes totally smooth. The acting's great, and the singing so good that I had goosebumps. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. And with the whole hall full on a Tuesday night, what more can I say?

Movie . Shopping . Prezzie . TV . Sick

2007-05-08T11:47:00.000+08:00

Sighs... I am sick again, barely a month since I last recovered... wonder what's happening to my body... maybe I am gettin' old... haha Since I am cooped up at home, shall do abit of updating.
Went to watch Spiderman 3 on Sat at Orchard Cineleisure with QJ and LW. I was actually quite sick, and didn't really want to leave home, but the tickets have been bought, so I have to go, no matter how sick I am. The movie's not bad, just that I didn't like the fact that they tried to squeeze so much into the 2 hours, and this left little room for more character development. The effects department did a fantastic job though.
Met my cousins, JY and PY for some shopping at Vivo City on Sun. My motive was to check out River Island's sale, as well as look ard fer Mummy dearest's birthday-cum-mother's day prezzie. Bought a $10 top from River Island, but the sad thing was, there wasn't anymore size for this v-neck pullover that I so lurve. Well, at least I saved some moolah. As for Mum's prezzie, decided to buy SK II's Mother's Day gift, which cost me (gasp!) $275. Hopefully my bros will contribute to the cost... haha.
On Monday evening, after having dinner at Crystal Jade to celebrate Mum's birthday, watched Do Not Disturb as usual. This week's episode is about an Australian guy and a Malaysian girl who decided to have a ONS. One could only understand English and the other, Chinese (or is it really so?). It shows the games that people play to try to get what they want, in this case, sex with no strings attached for the guy, and a marriage to a rich Caucasian guy so that she can escape poverty.
Need some rest now. I don't want to keep coughing and have my nose running away from me... And yes, I have not updated on last week's Planet Earth. Too sick too. Shall do it together with the next episode.

In Lurve with Accessories

2007-05-01T23:41:00.000+08:00

Was surfing the web and chanced upon L'ArtChaut's website. Totally mesmerised by the range of accessories they offer! Tatty Devine, Atelier11, Servane Gaxotte, Vice&Vanity, Wouters & Hendrix...I LURVE THEM ALL!! The price's veri nice too... Anybody out there who's willing to sponsor me a few pieces??

Painful Humongous Pimple

2007-04-30T21:48:00.000+08:00

Errgh! I have a humongous pimple on my right jaw!! It's been a week, yet it doesn't seem to be going down, and it's still as painful as when it first popped out. This is by far the most stubborn pimple that I remember getting. Can someone please help me get rid of it???

Mango Central

2007-04-29T20:05:00.000+08:00

Met SY, QJ and CT at Orchard on Saturday for dinner and some shopping. Had dinner at Central, a HK style cafe at Takashimaya's basement, after dropping by Mango, where there was a sale going on. I couldn't resist the tempatation and bought a red linen dress, which is the 1st all red clothing that I have ever bought. Talk about being adventurous!
We walked around town for abit after dinner and had a little girls' talk on (what else?) beauty and skincare products, among other stuff, at a secluded corner outside Takashimaya, recommended by QJ. At least we do not have to pay to sit at some cafe... Haha
Headed back home nearing 11pm, and was really tired out. But... I stayed up till almost 3am, watching anime on Channel U as well as surfing the Net. My panda eyes will get even worse after this...

The red dress from Mango, an Abercrombie top that I bought on Friday, and a small foldable mirror from Muji.

At Central....

How good was the food? Look at how engrossed everyone is with their food...

Eternal Summer * 盛夏光年

2007-04-27T22:13:00.000+08:00

Met up with CC on Thursday to watch Eternal Summer, a made in Taiwan movie directed by Leste Chen. It revolves around 2 boys, Shane and Jonathon, who are in the same class when they were in primary school. Shane is a hyperactive child, and Jonathon, being the class monitor was asked by the form teacher to befriend Shane. He does so unwillingly, and thus begins a journey that Jonathon never thought would change the course of his life. They became best friends, and went to the same secondary school and college. As they come of age, Jonathon slowly realises that his feelings for Shane is not as simple as he thought.

Matters become complicated when Carrie enters their lives, discovering Jonathon's secret, while Shane falls for her. Shane also realises how dependent he is on Jonathon and begins feels that Jonathon's treatment towards him seems to be more than just friends. Tension builds between the 3 of them, and when they arrive at a seculded beach, secrets are revealed.

The story is interesting, and I like the way some of the scenes are shot. However, there were too little dialouge, and the whole plot was not tight enough. Leste left too many scenes for the audience to guess, and this is not a very good thing as the whole story may be lost on the audience, which it did in this case. I feel that the pace is abit too slow too. Conclusion? It would be a yawn for those who are used to fast scenes and clear storyline. But if you can't catch the plot, at least you can oogle at the guys. Both Bryant Chang and Joseph Chang are cute! CC likes Joseph. Bryant is my personal fave though.

Planet Earth - Caves

2007-04-25T23:33:00.000+08:00

Caves, Earth’s final frontier, is the theme for this week’s Planet Earth. The different caves in the world are explored, and one of it is the Swallow Caves in Mexico. It is one of the biggest cave shaft in the world, and the entry to the cave plunges so deep (400metres) that the entire Empire State Building can be fitted comfortably into it. As such, many extreme sports enthusiasts come to here to base jump.
The Deer Cave, located on the island of Borneo, is so wide that a jumbo jet can fly in it. Millions of bats live in here, and their droppings form a 100 meter mound on the cave floor, providing a neverending supply of food for the countless of cockroaches that live in this mound. In a place where sunlight doesn’t shine in, one can, bizarrely, find crabs living among the cockroaches.
Living side by side with the bats in the cave are the swiftlets. These small birds build their nests on the steep walls of the cave using only their saliva. A nest will take a whole 30 days to complete, and it is one of most precious nest because it is – you guessed it – the origins of the bird’s nest that we consume.

The swift & its nest

When a cave is flooded, it becomes a gigantic freshwater well, which supports a variety of plants and animals, in addition to preserving features in the cave intact.
One of the most recent discoveries is the Lechuguilla Cave in USA. The whole cave is covered with gypsum crystal formations, carved out by sulphuric acid. These formations can be as high as 6 metres, and they sparkle like the stars in the sky as light is reflected off the crystals and minerals.

Clear, still water in Lechuguilla Cave

The Chandelier Ballroom, Lechuguilla Cave

Animals do thrive in these seeminly harsh places where there is no sunlight. Subtarannean, eyeless animals like the Texan cave salamandar, white crabs and cave angel fish live here, feeding on whatever food or minerals that brought into the cave by the flowing river.
This is indeed an eye opener for me. Although there are no stunning photography in this episode, there are still some beautiful scenes peppered throughout the show.

Retail Theraphy - Gone . Dessert - Yummy!

2007-04-22T01:50:00.000+08:00

I must be real tired out yesterday. I woke up only at 1130am today, and I still felt I did not sleep enough. Ate one mee chiam kueh (pancake) with peanut fer breakfast (or should I say brunch) with a warm cup of milo. Yumyum. Watched tv, play on my laptop and ate the other mee chiam kueh at 2 odd.

Got out of the house at 5 odd to meet RL at Novena for some shopping and dinner. We were both hungry, and so decided to go fer dinner 1st. We wanted to try out Harry's but somehow, the staff practically ignored us. And so we settled for dinner at TCC. Food was good, but dessert is even better! Hahaha. We talked and and ate for like 2 over hours, and by the time we are done with our meal, it was already past 9 and most of the shops have closed. Talk about shopping. Haa. But had a nice time though, chatting over dinner. Thanks RL! You were such great company. Shall get my dosage of retail theraphy next time.

Planet Earth - Fresh Water

2007-04-18T11:43:00.000+08:00

Fresh water – which contributes to only 3% of all water found on Earth – defines how the life on land is distrubuted. This week’s Planet Earth focuses on this life-giving source, right from where it all starts – rain.
Rain is the source of most fresh water, and with it, the beginnings of a river is formed. A river usually begins as a stream high up in the mountains, and as streams gather, it grows and form a river. And as the river flows, making it journey down the highlands, it will encounter many obstacles. And one of the obstacles that it faces, and definitely the most spectacular, is the waterfall.
At 1000 metres tall, Angel Falls is the highest waterfall found on this planet. As the camera moves from the river to the edge to of the cliff where the river makes a steep descent, one can see the sheer height at which the water falls. Swivelling 360 degrees around Angel Falls, one can see the beauty of the waterfall. The water falls unbroken all the way down, and being so tall, it gets blown away as mist before it hits the river below.
The river has a destructive nature too, and this is vividly demonstrated in Grand Canyon. Carved out by Colorado River, it is the world’s longest canyon system, a 1000 mile scar clearly visible from space.
Animals need freshwater to survive. And to get to the source of fresh water, animals may have to migrate. The wildebeest is one such species. Herds of wildebeest will do the annual migration through the plains to the Mara River for fresh water, and the vast numbers of these animals, when seen from the air, looks like an army of ants moving on the forest floor. Once they reach the river, they will encounter their nemesis, the crocodile. In a sequence, with the speed slowed down (just like the shark sequence in the 1st episode), one can see the crocodile pounce on the wildebeests drinking at the edge of the river with lightning speed, snapping their jaws tight around the animal with a vicelike grip, never letting go till its meal has died.
Where there is a beginning, there will always be an end. For the river, its journey either ends in the sea or lake. The largest freshwater lake in the world, Lake Baikal, is home to the Earth’s only freshwater seal. Coupled with the corals that grow in it, Lake Baikal looks more like a sea than fresh water lake. Certainly something that I never knew about till I watched this episode.
This episode is a little bit of a yawn for me. The images are good, but not exactly fantastic and somehow, it sounds more like a documentary made specially for O-levels geography lesson.

Still Sick . Do Not Disturb

2007-04-16T23:17:00.000+08:00

It's been a week since I got this god-knows-earth-virus/germ in my body and it still refuses to go away. The medicine that the doc gave doesn't seem to be working. Sighs... Think have to go back to the doc again...
Watched Do Not Disturb on Arts Central today. This week's episode talks about the affair between a lawyer and his legal assistant, and what seems to be a fling turns out to be more than just sex. Quite an intense episode, I must say. But too tired to talk anymore about it today. Need to go to sleep... Slept only 4 hours last night. And I am havin a running nose *Nose!! dun run away....!Come back......*

50 Ways to Cook Instant Noodles

2007-04-16T00:17:00.000+08:00

Another boring Sunday spent leafing through the Sunday Times, my usual weekend read. Love the Sunday Times because of its Lifestlye section, where there's usually something interesting to read, be it that controversial book or a new eating place or some special feature. And this week's main character? The one quick-fix food that most Singaporeans love - the instant noodles. Not only did they do a story on it, they invited chefs and food experts to come up with a different way to cook this seeminly unhealthy dish, what with all the MSGs and high sodium content of the seasonings. And the end result? Lo-behold, 50 different ways to cook the instant noodles. And most look worthy enough to be served in a restaurant. So tempted to try each and every of the recipes. Yum yum. Who says eating noodles has to be unhealthy? Just minus the MSG and packet seasonings that comes with it, and add some meat and veggies, it can become a tasty meal too!

Planet Earth - Mountains

2007-04-11T23:53:00.000+08:00

While the 1st episode gives a broad overview of our blue planet, the 2nd instalment of this series delves deeper into one of Earth’s most incredible creation – the mountains.
Erta Ale in Ethiopia, the world’s longest continually erupting volcano – it has been spewing lava the over 100 years – starts off the documentary, showing one of the ways that a mountain can be created. The camera then pans to the nearby highlands, where the geladas baboons literally live at the edge of the mountains. They are the only primates whose diets are entirely dependent on grass, which they share with the walia ibex, a highly endangered species of deer.
Guanacos, a relative of the llamas, have to endure the volatile weather of the Andes, where one can experience four seasons in just one day. Sitting by the steep slopes, they endure a sudden blizzard serenely, accepting these sudden changes as part of living on the mountain ranges.
With high mountains comes snow covered peaks. Yet at the Matterhorn on the Alpine range, with its steep slopes, refuses to allow snow to settle on its peaks. Be it spring, summer, autumn or winter, the Matterhorn is always brown like dark chocolates among soft, flourlike peaks.
Perhaps the most famous of all the mountain ranges is the Himalayas mountain range, where Mount Everest, the tallest peak in the world sits. Mount Everest and its surrounding peaks, which include K2, are termed by the locals as mountains ‘so high that birds do not fly through it’. Yet annually, the demoiselle cranes, in its migration south to seek shelter from the harsh winters, have to battle these mountains and the intense turbulence. It is also on this mountain range that the Earth’s biggest glacier, the Baltoro in Pakistan, can be found. 69.2 kilometres long, the glacier is so huge that it can be seen from space (amazing stuff).
Among the inhabitants that live on the Himalayan mountains is the rare snow leopard, so rare that this is the first time that it has been caught on film in its natural habitat. It took the crew one year of patient waiting to give us this footage, and it is sure worth the effort, allowing us to see such a majestic, beautiful creature come life on television, watching it hunt along the steep slopes with such grace it looks as if it was dancing, as well as taking care of its offspring.
There are, of course, a few memorable shots in this episode. One of it is caught on the Ethiopian highlands, where is seems as if the end of the rainbow has touched Earth. Coupled with walia ibex in the foreground, it is just postcard picture perfect. The waterfall within the glacier is another unforgettable scene. Surrounded by blue, cold, seemingly immovable ice, the image of the movement of water is simply breathtaking. And who can forget those majestic mountains? With the use of extensive aerial photography to capture all the main ranges, the mountains seem to exude quiet strength and rugged beauty.
This episode just serves to confirm my belief that the Planet Earth series is one of the best documentaries ever filmed, if not the best.

I Am Sick

2007-04-10T22:29:00.000+08:00

Am totally sick now. Woke up at 4am this morn, and felt my tummy churning and as if something was gong to come up from my mouth. I immediately went to the toilet (luckily it's just right outside my room) and started vomitting. I thought I would be okay after this, but vomitted like 3 more times throughout the night. My tummy felt totally bloated, as if someone had pumped lotsa air inside. Had diarrhea too. By the time I was done, I was totally weak and tired.
I woke up at 9 odd, showered, and had my mum take me to the doc's. The doctor didn't know what was wrong with me too. He only said that I might have some viral infection, gave me medicine and MC and said that if I were to come down with fever, I should go back to the clinic.
After I was done at the clinic, I asked my mum to drive me to the train station so that I could go back and rush a report (where do you find such a deidcated employee like me? hahaha). Big misake mans. I was breaking out in cold sweat and felt woozy throughout the whole journey. Even while I made my way up to my office, I could feel that my legs were giving way. The road to the office never felt so long.
Finally made my way to my office without fainting. But I couldn't take it any longer. Asked my colleague to help me finish the report, and went to take the train back, 1 hour after I stepped into the office. So wanted to take the cab, but it was difficult to catch one at lunch hour. Mum came to pick me up at the train station, where I slept like a rock throughout the whole train journey home. Once I reached home, I plonked myself onto my bed and slept for the whole afternoon.
Totally hated the feeling of vomiting. And I wonder why there are bulimics out there who use this method to control their weight. Your throat feels dry and parched, and it certainly didn't taste nor smell good when you throw up your food.
Whatever infection that I have right now, I certainly do not want to vomit another time for the rest of my life. Horrible feeling!
Funny how being sick makes me crave for certain food. Lychees, mango sago, ice cold sprite, milk tea... ...

Pardoxical. Void. Change.

2007-04-09T23:48:00.000+08:00

Been abit restless and unmotivated lately. Nothing seems to get me going. It seems like I am bored with my current life. Need some change. Drastic change. Yet I dunno what to change... Nothing's really wrong with my life, yet there's something wrong, something that doesn't make the equation right... just can't figure out what... parodoxical... but that's me. Haha typical Aquarian behaviour... Nothing seems to satisfy me, except maybe... hmm... well will talk abt that another time. But really, I can't get satisfaction from what I am doing now. Guess it's one of those moments in my life. Feel like there's some pent up energy inside me that begs to be released. Not the 1st time I am experiencing this kinda feeling, but am more acutely aware of it now that I am older. Need to find something to satisfy this void before it gnaws me... Need to do something about it...

Missed!

2007-04-09T23:09:00.000+08:00

Ergh! Missed that 1st half of today's episode of Do Not Disturb!!! Totally forgot about it until I was in the shower. Dashed out of the shower as soon as I was done and switched to Arts Central to catch whatever is left. But could not catch the plot... So sad... Geannie must now devise a way to never forget to watch Do Not Disturb... and Planet Earth too...

Rain, Bad Cyclists, Great Company, Sore Muscles

2007-04-08T23:30:00.000+08:00

Met up with RL and CC to go East Coast Park today. It's been quite some time since I last went to ECP, so was definitely looking forward to it. Felt like a mini CT7 gathering of sorts, since we were all from the same class when we were in JC. This was the 1st time in a long time that I went out with both of them at the same time too. While on the way there, we were reminiscing about the days when we were in JC, and also indulged in some healthy gossips about our other classmates.
We got caught in the rain as soon as we reached ECP, however. So being pigs, we decided to have teabreak (I didn't have my lunch, so it was something of a late lunch too, hahaha). Continued talking and joking, and oogled at dogs and a cute Australian!
The rain finally stopped an hour later, so RL and me went to rent our bikes while our dear CC brought his blades to blade. We went on and on, and we cycled all the way to Safra Resort, which is near Changi. Everything was uneventful, until we decided to turn back.
While cycling back to where we first started out, I had a near collision with a girl, who, for God-knows-what-reason, was not looking at where she was cycling. What's even worse was the she was cycling on the wrong side of the road! She just suddenly turned her bike towards the side of the lane that I was cycling on. Luckily, I reacted fast enough to avoid a head on collision with her, missing by just a mere centimetres.
My dear bag was not that lucky though. It got caught on the girl's handle and the strap broke, promptly dropping on the ground with a thud. I was darn pissed off! The girl apologised, but I could not be bothered to say much to her. I was on the verge of scolding her for not looking at where she was going, and I knew if I opened my mouth, worse things will come flying out. So I just took my bag, tied a temporary knot and went on cycling. CC, on seeing what happened, and being such a dear, offered to help carry my bag by stuffing it into his humungous duffel bag. I accepted, and I cycled with renewed vigour, which was a result of that accident. Barely 20 minutes from my accident, CC had an accident too, with another idiot nontheless, and grazed his right arm. Luckily the injury was not very bad, and we were reaching our destination.
We walked to Marine Parade hawker centre with weak knees and tired bodies after me and RL returned out bikes and CC washed his injury. CC had fried kway teow, RL and me fried hokkien mee, and the 3 of us shared a plate of fried oyester with eggs, all downed with a big cup of sugarcane juice. *burps*
Walked for abit at Parkway Parade and headed home.
Enjoyed my day out today, especially with such great company from RL and CC. It would have been better if not for the 2 bad cyclists. To all out there who cycle or blade at East Coast Park, please, no matter what, KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD! It's bad enough that it's crowded during weekends and the lanes are narrow, so please do your bit by being more careful. Let's make every trip to the park enjoyable and not one that's filled with accidents.
Haha I am pigging out on Kinder Bueno as I a writing all these. And my leg muscles are hurting.

Love Idiot?

2007-04-07T17:30:00.000+08:00

Saw MT online on Thurs nite (Fri morn, to be exact) and chatted with him fer abit. Was complaining to him how boring my life has become, and that I have so much free time on my hands now that if I am able to sell them, I would've made a decent pile of profits. Haha and he told me to go find a boyfriend. Well, the prob here is not that I don't want to, but somehow, I have always be faced with a boy drought. Somehow, I have never gotten a bouquet from a guy, no guy has ever professed that he likes me, and no guy has certainly tried to woo me. I may not be drop dead gorgeous, but I am not ugly either. So I dunno where the problem lies really.
Seeing all my friends getting attached or busy dating, I asked myself, am I destined to remain single all my life? I certainly don't want to.
Friends have been consoling me, saying that maybe the one has not appeared yet, and I should wait patiently for him to appear. But... when will he appear? In my 30s? or even worse, 50s? Oh mans, by that time, I might not be able to have kids. And I certainly do want kids to call my own.
Maybe at the end of the day, I am juz a love idiot. Who doesn't know how to see nor feel love.

Planet Earth - From Pole To Pole

2007-04-04T23:04:00.000+08:00

Watched Planet Earth on Arts Central at 10pm. Produced by BBC Natural History Unit, helmed by producer Mark Linfield and the same team behind 2001's The Blue Planet, it is the most expensive documentary ever made. Recorded over a period of 5 years in more than 204 locations, it is certainly a humunguous effort by the team, who risked their lives filming some of the most captivating scenes.
The first episode, titled From Pole To Pole, shows how the lives of plants and animals are dominated by sun and water, which trigger seasonal journeys.
The show starts in Antartica, where male Emperor Penguins huddle together in the dead of winter to protect their eggs, waiting patiently for their partners to return when the sun will rise again in spring. It then pans to Artic, where spring has arrived and the mother polar bear emergers from the den with it's cubs, and make the journey towards the ocean to feed on seals before the warmth of spring melts the sea ice.
The season's changes, from winter to spring - where the peach blossoms bloom - and then to summer in Japan, and from summer to autumn to winter in America, transpires in a matter of seconds, highlighting the beauty of the landscape as it changes. From the coniferous forests to decidous forests, the scene changes to the tropical forests of Borneo, where the rare birds of paradise live. The ultimate fashion victims of the bird world, this species of birds are decked out in vibrant colours and decorated with beautiful plummage. The males are the ones that are usually the 'prettier' ones, and there's always a mating song or dance, in addition to the beautiful coat of feathers, to help attract the females to mate with them.
One of the most dramatic moments in this episode is the chase of the seals by the great white. By slowing down the shots to 40 times the normal speed, the might and grace of the great white leaping out of the water and capturing the seal in its jaws is simply breathtaking, and the splashes of the water that are created in the process is beautiful.
The interplay of sun and water on the life on Earth moves to Africa, the driest continent on the planet. Here, the annual flooding of Okavango marks the start of migration of elephants, babboons and other animals to this seasonal oasis, where water and food are in abundance. The treacherous journey through massive sandstorms and tornadoes has to be made before they reach this little piece of haven.
And finally, the cameras takes us back to Antartica, where we first started out, where the arrival of spring heralds the birth of the baby emperor penguins, and the start of the migration of the penguins towards the sea.
I was totally impressed by the cinematography, from the aerial shots capturing the movements of the the migration of the animals to the closeups, and the showing of the changes of the seasons. This is rare gem in the world of documentary, filmed to stunning perfection. It allows me to see a differnt side of Earth, a side that will be lost if we humans, who have the power to protect, do nothing to save these lovely animals, and flora and fauna. Hopefully, this will not the only way our future generations will get to see the diversity that our dear blue planet has to offer.
There's 10 more episodes to go, and I shall make it a point to catch every one of them! Can't miss out such a wonderful piece of documentary!

Do Not Disturb

2007-04-02T23:38:00.000+08:00

Do Not Disturb has finally premiered! Watched it on Arts Central today at 10pm. It is a drama series that delves into the relationships of 8 couples behind the walls of a budget hotel. The 1st episode, titled Perfect 10, is about a couple who are getting married and checks into the budget hotel so that they can have some peace and privacy to finalise their marriage, which will take place in 3 days. Things start to turn hilarious when the guy (David) ejaculates. The girl (May May), thinking that it was premature ejaculation, went to check on the internet and decides to check into the hotel again the next day to find out if her guy really has a problem 'down there'. One thing leads to another, and while having a trial run of 'what is going to happen after the wedding dinner', they finally lost it, after much resistence in the past 3 days and abstinence for 8 long years. After the deed is done, David finally proclaimed that they shouldn't have waited so long, which our dear May May agreed (she was so against having sex before the wedding). And the final icing on the (wedding) cake? David's parting words -- "The condom broke".
I thoroughly enjoyed the exchanges between David and May May. All was very natural, very believable. There was not fake accents or pretentious English; just English/Singlish that is spoken as we hear it everyday. Trust Tan Kheng Hua to come up with something like that. What made it difficult was that the episodes were not scripted i.e., there were no lines for the actors to follow. They had to improvise between the 4 walls and what their characters, given their characteristics, will say. And kudos to Kelvin Tong too, who directed this series. The scene were beautifully shot, even though Kelvin could not prepare in advance (there was no script to follow!).
This is really a series to catch every Monday!
Talking about Arts Central, there is another show that is a must catch - Planet Earth. Saw the trailer for it, and I must admit, they really did capture nature beautifully. Will definitely catch it on Wednesday 10pm! Better write in down n my diary before I forget... ...

2007-03-31T11:13:00.000+08:00

Did a makeover for my bloggie again! It's been a long time since I last logged in and made entries to my bloggie. Guess it's all about laziness and procrastination... hahaha. Actually one of the reasons for my procrastination is because I was trying to find the perfect skin for my bloggie. Looking through at all the skins, I realised that I can never find my perfect skin, unless I create it myself (which I dunno how to...) So well...decided to settle for one of Blogger's default skin for now... at least it's nice and simple. Heehee The other reason? I couldn't find time to make entries in the previous months 'cause of other commitments.
Now that I have gotten back on trail, hopefully I can update my bloggie regularly. Heeheehee...

I Am Weeping
In This Lonely Day

Oh Sky
Can You Feel My Misery?
Is That Why
You Are Crying Today?

Oh Sky
Can You Tell Me Why?
Love Never Comes My Way?
