The Prata Date.

One of the Fridays (4th July), some of us met up for Prata at The Prata House.

Okay, the prata there is not fantabulous. But...but...I don't know. I guess we just like it there? Especially since it's middle distance to all our house (except for bestie).

The place is PACKED! And it was so noisy! We tried to have one united conversation but! Saran can't hear me from his end and I can't hear him at my end that we just gave up and had 2 separate conversation with Juan (sitting in the middle) switching channels once in a while.

It was a nice enough gathering(: It was the first time in 1.5weeks that I actually feel hungry!

Anyways, here are the pictures (Saran finally sent it to me!) -

(L-R): me, bestie, sivan, saran, kelvin, joel

(L-R): bestie, sivan, saran, juan, kelvin, joel

the girls(:
(taken by Saran. Please don't tell anyone he's the President of Photography!!)

Yups(: It was a nice ending to an otherwise dull week! Meeting up with them are always nice and wonky!

Saturday(:

It's been a nice Saturday. When Friday rolled about, I thought this was just going to be another Saturday with me lazing around at home. But nopes!

Good news on Friday! Braces gone! Pictures up soon! Had a dental appointment today as well. Kind of sad to say bye to my dentist who is ever so nice and brotherly (:

Then I met up with cyn and mabel. Walked around Ang Mo Kio looking for cyn's perfect bed! Tired!

Then the sister called and we went to Tao's for dinner. 8 course dinner! *faints* But, they have the most excellent service! Post up soon (i think).

Then! Ling messaged me and asked if I wanted to chill tonight. Since I was in shorts and slippers, we couldn't go to a pub or club. So we went to Pitstop with the guys. After that, we drifted from Pitstop to Starbucks to McDonalds.

Had fun talking to them(: We should have more nights like this!!

I almost did something I shouldn't. Bestie is going to be so disappointed (?). But, I've gone from being tempted to being irritated. Oh wells.

Anyways, thanks @Janelle for listening to me rant on Plurk (:

Like building sandcastle.

Sometimes, friendship is like building sandcastle.

Together with your friends, you build a sandcastle. Firm, strong and pretty. As waves lap at it, you take turns to repair and patch up the sandcastle. It remains strong and pretty.

But as time goes by, you just let the waves erode the sandcastle. Only repairing it once in a while. Allowing the castle to be eroded pretty badly.

And just like in life, there are always free-riders. They realized that their friends will always take the initiative to repair the sandcastle. So why bother? The friends will always be there. Always hanging around. So they just sit back and watch. When the friends are repairing the sandcastle, they will stand at the sidelines giving "suggestions" and offering their "eye-power".

Eventually, these friends get tired. The castle began to deteoriate. The free-riders begin to panic. They don't want the castle to be gone. But they are too lazy to repair it. They think that even if they tried, the castle won't be repaired. So what do they do? They go to the friends and tell them, "I think the castle is falling apart." After which, they will wait and wait.

All these years, I have been the stupid ones. Repairing the castles. Letting them ride on me for free.

I know I've said these many times. But these time, I am really ready to just sit back and let the castle. I want to see the look of horror/panic/indifference on the free-rider's face as the castle dissolve to nothing but sand.

Till we are strangers again.

Feast of Fury (:

Ever since I saw the commercial of Mac's Feast of Fury -

I have wanted to try! Like REALLY badly! But the mother unit has been cooking almost every night for the past week and there's no MacDonald near my workplace, I can't try!

But! TODAY! I tried it! Lunch with Sivan, Mabel and San! Okay, I was the only one who ate-.- But YES! I tried the Feast of Fury! Haaaaaiii-YAH!

I think I have 7 pieces of the spicy McNuggets. See, I had one before I decided to get the curry sauce. Then I brought one to munch on while I went to get the curry. I had another one before Mabel came. And when I look at my box, I still have 4 more left! 7!!! Hahas.

It was SPICY! Like really spicy! But it was SHIOK! No other way to describe it. And with curry, it taste heavenly! Haaaaaaiiiii-YAH! *licks finger*

Yups(: And I didn't realised it until I reached home and told my brother what I had for lunch. But (look at the video)....

(I need a phone that takes better video)

And I think I did a mini-version of it sub-consciously when I went to order the meal *digs hole and bury head* That will probably explain why the counter staff were laughing. BAH!

But yes! The afternoon was nicely spent talking and gossiping with the 3 girls(:

San left early, but Sivan, Mabel and I had ice-cream while on the way to the library -

My $1 Raspberry ice-cream cone(:

I borrowed 7 books from the library and Sivan bought 2 Freddy Krueger shirt. But that's another story for another time.

Off to bake!

Thanks, Sivanny-Wany-Boo(:

Got this from Sivan -

Unexpected! Yups! I am surprise! (:

Thanks, cousin! Hees. See! You are making me tear up! Hahas.

I love my friends(:

(It's okay that I post it here right? Hahas.)

Ling's 21st(:

Gloomy stuff for the past 2 days or so. Now, on to happier stuff(:

These are friends whom I know will be there with me(: Even after months of not seeing and contacting each other, we will be "as always" the moment we sit down and talk (:

Last Thursday, we met up to celebrate Ling's birthday(: This is Ling and I in Sec 4 -

Cheryl, Me, Ling(:

And this is us today(:


She's the person I always run to (back in secondary school) when I have problems or just want to bitch about stuff. I will always run to her class in between bells/lessons and talk to Juan and her.

Ling is also the one who came up with the statement about me, "...Don't comfort her! Let her cry. If you comfort her now, she's going to cry even more...!" Very accurate! Heees.

Now, we don't meet up as often or talk as often. But just like Sivan, Juan and bestie, she's those kind of person whom I can call and talk to anytime(:

Am I boring you? BLEHS!

Anyways, we met up on Thursday at J8. Most of them were late so the early birds went ahead and have dinner first. We can't decide what to have so we settled it, the old fashion way - Scissors, Paper, Stone. Swesens (aka Sivan) won!

We did some "cam-whoring" (still waiting for Kelvin to send me the pictures) and had dinner! There was this little incident about Kelvin's steak but oh wells! The girls shared Apple Crumble and Frosted Chocolate Malt for desserts! (: Yums Yums!

After dinner, we went to playground at Level 3 and did some more cam-whoring!

Ling and Michelle on the slide!

I think this is Juan's legs and Sivan's foot in the top left corner.

The guys - Kelvin being stupid as usual.
(Behind left: Kelvin and XY; Front left: Santo and Eddy)

Trying the night scenery mode at Kelvin's request.
I think Susanto was trying to create the moving background that I said-.-

Group shot(:
I love every single one of them here! ((:

After that, we went to MacDonalds and chat. Didn't reach home till 12 midnight(: Fun!

We made plans to do lots of stuff together. Hopefully, they will all happen! *fingers cross*

I don't make sense. And this is a mushy post. But wth.

I may have very few friends. But those that I have are those that I hold close to my heart(:

mean? perhaps.

I have this friend who is supposedly going overseas next month to study. And we are supposedly "close" friends.

But, here's the thing.

Every time, we ask her for details, she is unable to tell us anything except the school she'll be going to. She have no clue as to her flight details, her accommodations and her fundings.

And she doesn't update us about it. Or arrange to meet us to spend more time together and all that kind of crap.

She tried to arrange something for tomorrow but canceled it at the last minute. And then now, at 2 am in the morning, she said it's back on. Erm..Sorry, babe. Not interested. You can't drop us and then pick us up again.

It is not a friendship when you are present when they are having fun. And disappear thereafter!

I have had it. My patience are pretty limited towards her attitude. (I can't believe I feel bad for snapping at her last week).

So, I have chucked her into the same category as the person (who is very mean to sivan). I am not going to be there for her when she comes to me with one of her stupid sex/relationship questions.

And to officiate it....

"I don't want to hear anything about her. Do not tell me anything about her. I don't give a shit about her. She can fly off to the North Pole for all I care. I don't give a shit."

SPP should know who I am talking about. Both of them.

Waste of my time.

Angry.

好久没有用华语写“部落格"了。

我好生气和厌烦。

有个朋友从UK回新。 而这个朋友想和中学 student council 聚一聚，所以又是我这个白吃来举办。

下个星期另一个朋友生日。虽然是另一个朋友在举办，但她所谓的举办只是随便同知。 没有confirm, 没有time and date.

结果呢，我要两头包。

那还不叫人生气。。。

Oh, what the hell. Typing hanyu ping ying is killing me.

The bottom line is sometimes I wish my friends are more straightforward, more 果断.

If you are organising a gathering, you not only just contact people and let them know that a gathering is coming up and then leave it there. You have to resend a sms and let them know the exact time, exact date to meet. And a vague idea of where we are going. Get a FINAL confirmation from them.

But for the upcoming birthday gathering, I only know that we are meeting on the 12th. And then? And the list of people coming is not "confirmed". Okay, maybe to the organiser having a vague idea of who is coming is enough. But 50% of the time, half of the people won't turn up. And if that's the case, I don't think I am going. I mean, WTH lah!

And what I don't get is why my friends must take so long to decide if they can make it or not. It's really simple. Ask yourself if you are free on that day. Then ask yourself if it's "worth" it for you to attend the gathering. If yes for both, clear the day and nothing can occur during that period of time. Simple?

No! I hate it. Fuck lah.

I am so frustrated now that I don't even know how to describe my feelings. It's like URGH and URGH and URGH.

I have a right mind to not turn up for the celebration because of the crap organising.

You know, I like organising stuff. But when you have wishy-washy friends like these, you just feel like killing yourself every freaking time.

MSN conversation.

Sometimes, I have the random-est MSN conversation ever.

There was the one with Sivan on Sunday -

the sociable anti-social. -

HI SIVVVAAANNNN!!!!

the sociable anti-social. -

maybe we can conduct a research about it!

the sociable anti-social. -

wheees~

And then, there's the one with ber last night. I can't remember how we get there. But here's part of the conversation -

				the sociable anti-social. -			sigh

				ber -			wah lao
				the sociable anti-social. - i need a good neck massage.			bird flu bird flu!!

Hahas. YES! I <3 random conversations with my friends(:

disappointed?

Not entirely. Slightly disappointed with the girls.

Once again, I am the one coming up with ideas for the birthday gifts, coming up with ways to celebrate, making decisions about the day and what to do on the day itself.

Sounds like I am back in JC days where it was just me buying all the gifts for all their birthdays and the rest just chip in.

I am happy that Sivan offered to message the girls about the events (thanks, babe!). But I just wish I didn't had to do the follow-up.

Making sure that everyone is bringing something. Making sure that everyone knows what time to meet and where. Organising meet-ups to get the gift. Making sure that everyone knows what is the main purpose/event tomorrow.

And what pisses me off the most is that San messaged me at 9.30pm to suggest another way to share the cab fare. It was a good idea but guess what? She expects me to translate this new plan to the rest of the girls. Not much of a problem if she had told me earlier but NOW? It's too late! Especially since the girls have a habit of not replying or replying at a tortoise rate. So yeah.

To cut the story short. I was not supposed to be organising this gathering. But I end up spending more sms-es and having to settle more problems. I should have just bite the bullet, suck it up and organise the whole thing by myself right from the start.

*sigh* We'll just all have fun tomorrow! I guess.

Thursday(:

I really should get creative or more informative with my title.

But you have to admit that naming the post by the day is one of the better non-informative and non-creative way of naming your post.

Slept all the way till 4.30pm. Really tired. Actually, I woke up at 9am, realised how achey my whole body is and promptly re-entered La-La Land(:

Met up with Mabel at 6.30pm(: Went to Poh Heng to get my mum a gift for Mother's Day! I swear I have never spent so much at one shot. I am broke:( Gold is freaking expensive, I tell you! Even the sister unit was shocked beyond words when I told her the price. But I still think it's a rather good idea.

See, my mum sold her 嫁妆 a few months back. So I thought it will be nice to "replace" it? Not replace replace but you know.

So here's what I bought -

Luckily the siblings unit agreed to share the present. If not, I will be really REALLY broke. Heh. Hopefully the mother unit will like it and not yell at us XD

Kbox session with the girls and the JC guys was quite nice and fun(: We played 猜拳 and 海带 after singing for like 4 hours? I am terribly and horribly bad at these games. I keep losing so I had to eat all the peanuts. Sheesh!

Everyone ran out of stamina around 1am (5 hours of singing). We started singing really old songs and the girls made me sing, "榕树下". Yes, that old song from before we were born. By the time 1.15 am roll by, we really are singing any random songs. Those that are impossibly high and those that are impossibly hard to reach.

Left around 2.30am and YouWee drove us home. Thanks, dude(:

Now, I am exhausted! Waiting for my hair to dry before hopping in bed for 4hours. Got to be in school by 10.30am tomorrow*sigh*

SUNDAY IS RESERVED FOR ME TO NUAR AT HOME!

Wednesday(:

Here's a very tired me typing. But I had a fairly good day(:

Woke up unwillingly at 10.00am today. As usual, when I have to wake up to do any form of exercise, my brain starts coming up with excuses. But yes, I dragged myself out of bed and met Kelvin.

It was madness. We cycled from ECP to Changi (I think). I didn't realised how far we have cycled until I saw planes. Like hello?! But oh wells.

Came home around 5.30pm. Quickly changed and met the zhanzhan and mokmok in town. I was late and the two guys had to wait for me. Opps. But what else is new? I am always late! *evil laughs*

Had dinner at Shokodu. Not too bad. Then walked abit and then went to MOF for desserts. Hohoho. DESSERTS! It was nice(:

Plenty of laughs today(: And I have 2 more "jie-mei" ! Everyone, say hello to zhanzhan and mokmok! These guys are so much more concerned about their tummies than I am-.-

You can't get any more meepok than this.

Why I Like Going Out with Guys.

Sometimes, I really like to go out with guys better than girls.

Because girls are just so passive and wishy-washy at times. Guys are more decisive and quick to decide. In the words of Juan, the guys are usually very on.

You can just call them suddenly and ask them to meet you in town in an hour. If they are free, they will seriously drop by. And if they can't make it, they will suggest another date.

Like how I messaged Kelvin tonight to ask if he wants to catch a late night movie with me. He agreed! But in the end, the timings were not right so we didn't go. Anyways, I got him to watch "What Happened In Vegas" with me next week. And of course, I tricked him into going cycling with me on Wednesday! *evil laughs*

And of course, going out with guys means that I don't always have to talk. Sometimes, I can just keep quiet for prolong period of time and they will just continue to entertain themselves. Hees.

Yups. Some other minute reasons as well.

But mainly because, I like how "on" the guys are(:

A nice change from the girls who are usually so passive and takes forever to reply. Going out with the girls are seldom spontaneous. Even after prolonged planning, they might still "put aeroplanes" on the day itself. Disappointing.

I'm FREE!!! for a week-.-

Exams are finally over(:

Came home for a short while after my paper and cleaned my room. Got rid of all notes and textbooks (duh!) and then rushed out to meet the bestie and juan(:

We went to Marina Square for Sakae Supper. The queue was so freaking long! We waited for an hour! My goodness-.- The three of us got so bored that we started disturbing one another. Juan and I kept wriggling our eyebrows to irritate Lai. While the two of them keep talking about insects and stuff with spots and holes to irritate me (I am cringing again! Eww!). And I started singing to irritate the both of them. Heh.

We finally got in and ate until we almost burst. I shared a bowl of Curry Udon with Lai (okay, she had 7 strands of udon. yes! she counted!).

Since both of them are anti-pictures, I only took some random shots -

I finished my bowl of curry udon!

Half of what the 3 of us had.

Chawamushi!
4 bowls among the 3 of us.

the cute BUT useless mouse.

The dessert is Strawberries Smile. Juan hates strawberries so Lai and I had some. And we irritated Juan afterwards.

Took a cab home with Lai cause her bus was gone and reached home fairly early(:

It was a nice way to celebrate the end of exams(:

I love my bestie and Juan!! Heh.

Oh yeah. I wore this out today -

Excuse the posey pose. I can't decide if it's a top or a dress. My sister wears it as a top and I wear it as a dress. I went out today and realised it IS a little bit too short. But then again, it's too long for you to wear it with jeans! I guess, you just have to be careful eh?

I love the top/dress by the way(:

Wednesday. Working style.

Wednesday is over! Sometimes I don't want the days to pass quite so quickly but then again, the quicker it passes, the sooner the end of exams will arrive! :D

Looking at my old blog, I saw pictures taken during AA102 lecture last semester. I miss having lectures with the sampat family!

sampat king

sampat princess and sampat queen mother

With the end of exams, comes the end of my second year. One more year till I graduate! Eeeks! End of year 2 also mark the end of lecture days (well, except for my psychology modules). From now on, it'll be seminar seminar seminar. No more sleeping in class! I think MacDonald's is going to earn alot of money from me next semester. Food to keep me awake-.-

Have you notice? Today marks the 40th day of my days without chocolate! Hees. Time for me to tear open a bar of chocolate to celebrate. NOT!

I used to crave for chocolates during PMS. But now, I just crave for bubble tea. Ice Blended Sour Plum to be exact. Such a weird weird craving eh? But! It's a good thing because the nearest bubble tea shop is 4 blocks away and I am a lazy woman. Small marie biscuits, ice cubes, yakult and Fruitips will have to do:D

Don't tell me that you are concerned about FYP and I am NOT worried about FYP. Words are just that words. Show it! Take more initiative or something. For now, just get that book from me and start reading, yah? I need to return it to NLB eventually de.

My mum thinks that I am a difficult person to work with? With all my crazy quirks and all my strict ass 'rules'/standards.

But seriously, I am not that hard to work with. I just think that it is necessary for everyone to work at the same pace and exert the same amount of effort. Which, in my case, means that you work at the pace of the fastest group mate in your group. If you think it's too fast, it doesn't mean that you can lag behind. NO! You either ask your group to slow down or work your ass off to catch up.

And saying that you have a helluva week is NOT ALWAYS a good excuse. Everyone has issues and problems that they need to deal with. So suck it up and get going.

Opps. I make myself sound like a slave driver o.O Honestly, I am a friendly, kind and understanding person/group mate/leader. *vomits* You can ask Sivan!

越苗越黑 lah. I better shut up, take the last medicine and go befriend the snooze monster(:

Random.

3rd post for the night. This is something lighter than the 2nd post.

AB213 paper was hmmm. All I'll say is, "I STILL CAN'T DO WRITTEN EXAMS! FLOOD ME WITH PROJECTS, PLEASE!!!" *ahem* Yes. No worries, I am not sad about the paper or something. I never let my papers affect my mood. Thank god, for this 'ability' or I will be one HUGE emo-monster now!

On my way back, I saw that the step-on-the-ground-and-the-images-move thing was unoccupied!!! Don't know what it is? Here -

Ohmygod! So I discreetly walked over the 'screen' and see the popcorn scatter :D Heh.

Then when I was about to leave, that little girl came and started running about and stomppingg her feet. She reminds me of Baby Chloe. So I took a picture:D

Yups(:

From JPod by Douglas Coupland,

"How to create your name if you become a stripper?"

Ans: Just figure out the least expensive form of sugar or sweetness you ate today.

Mine? 旺旺 Cola Chews. *anime sweat drop* How sexy eh? What's yours?

Mugger Saturday.

I planned to wake up at 1.30pm on Saturday. I did! But I woke up, went into the living room to 'announce' that I am awake and then subsequently, went back into my room and snoozed all the way till 3.40pm.

BUT! The good news is..I managed to complete what I am suppose to complete today(: And I realised, laptop is bad news.

Even though, it's been a mugger Saturday, it's quite nice?

This was my nick (click for larger view) -

Nothing wrong, right? Apparently, there is. Here's what Kelvin said:

KêLVïÑ™®»» said:
ur craving for pizza started wit a kiss??

KêLVïÑ™®»» said:
lol amazing

-.-||||

And then while talking to ber, I realised something! Lookie -

ber's display picture looks like my Audrey Hepburn's picture! Hahas. Please don't kill me, ber *runs away*

I went to Edventure to check if Ulrike has uploaded our proposal presentation and I saw this -

Only scotchey's presentation is up! And it's uploaded TWICE! scotchey, Ulrike must have liked your presentation very much ;p

Yupsyups. Anyways, here's my tweets for the day -

• i think my AB213 lecturer sucks because a) she has lousy presentation skills b)teaches the wrong stuff. thank god, i took HP102 last sem! about 2 hours

• ok, my sister just came into my room to tell me that she just had a super loud fart. EWWWWW~ I dont need to know that!! about 2 hours

Hahas. The siblings went shopping (AGAIN!) while I was stuck at home :( But the mum was very nice! She brought me supplements and drink and even offered to help me to switch on the lights when it was getting dark. Aww~ I am such an easy girl to please(:

The brother unit starts school on Monday! I don't know how he feels but I am feeling pretty excited for him(: I hope that his poly days will be much better than his secondary school days (it was rather sucky).

Okays, ANTM episode 8 and then bed!

cant think of one.

Presentation today was GAH (again!). I seem to have lost my ability to present properly without nerves and pressure:( Maybe it's because I am putting too much pressure on myself. *sigh* Oh wells. It's goodbye to projects and presentations and hellos lecture notes and books.

Met up with the distant bestie, San, last night for dinner at Ichiban. Didn't take any pictures. But it was nice to just sit there and talk(: She may have changed in some ways (because of MLM) but to some extent, she's still the girl I sat next to in Secondary 1(: Here's an old picture of both of us -

Meet the gigglers of 1/8 (;

When I say old, I mean REALLY old. I think this was taken 2 years ago when I just got into NTU, I think. Look at my untouched hair! No perm and no rebonding. Virgin hair!! Erm..*recovers from bimbotic moment*

Today, I met Mabel for brunch at the new Canteen A(: Quite nice and it seems like Canadian Pizza is not having any business. Kind of dumb of Subway to have only one queue/counter. But that's how Subway works-.-|||

Had hotcakes and after paying, I realised I have yet to try McGriddles! Oh man. *sigh* Next time, I guess.

Here's a picture of Mabel and me -

And guess who I saw at the new Canteen A? LING!!!!!! Whees~

I miss this woman terribly:(

May be arranging a trip back to Deyi after my exams. Most probably a Wednesday so we can go kpo and spy on our old CCAs. I want to see how sissy my guides have become. Or have they become more gung-ho?

I was walking past Deyi last Wednesday and I saw the NPCC cadets marching. They were horrible *gasp* Oh wells.

Anyways, Terence gave me this packet of sweet to compensate for the dark chocolate he brought back from the US -


I slept from Jurong East to YCK-.- Tired. And when I came home, I saw the siblings at the Dad's shop. The three of us went, "Eh! Eh! Eh!" at the same time-.- And the shop instantly became noisy.

They are going shopping at Queenstown. I wanted to go but I was really tired:( And I thought it will be nice to stay at home and accompany my mum since the house is going to be VERY quiet soon. What if the sister working, me on attachment and the brother starting poly. Oh wells.

Okok, I better go take a nap now(: Mugging tonight! GO GO JIAYOU!!!

Interesting fact of the day : I skipped through 486 out of 885 songs today. Time to revamp my iPod! Songs recommendation welcomed!

Social Media Don't Stick.

Wrote this last week on my way to school:

I have no idea. Social media or social networking sites just don’t stick, do they? Or maybe it’s my friends.

Took them eons to signed on to Friendster and when they did, I was already at MySpace. MySpace never caught on with them. Attempted to use Facebook long before the fever hit our shores. Gave up and deleted the account because I only have one friend – Scott from US. Pointless. Then the whole fever reached Singapore and everyone started joining and I re-joined. Hurray! Happily ever after? Nopes. People don’t like Facebook either. Started abandoning their accounts and all.

Then there’s Twitter. Ha. Ha. Let’s not talk about it. F.A.I.L.U.R.E. Many people are not convinced about Twitter and its uses. Frankly, I find it kind of pointless as well. But after awhile, you realized Twitter is just like this big chatroom. Not only can you “check” up on what your friends are doing, you can snoop around and see what they are talking about with other people. Thumbs up! Especially since I can be such a gossip girl. BEWARE *roars*

Besides, it's a good place for me to post those funny random thoughts I am oh-so-prone to having. Especially on school days(:

But ah...It only works when you have a lot of friends to check up on. And my friends are totally against/un-warmed to the idea of Twitter! I am basically following myself and @uniquefrequency. The few of my friends who are on Twitter kind of just signed up and forgot (SUAF)about it. Opps.

Social networks don’t sell in my social circle. Can I generalize it to NTU as well? Twitter is only an example. Most people don’t have Facebook too! OR they just SUAF. Somehow, I feel that while SMU and NUS people are getting more savvy or using some form of social media, NTU people are still stuck in ancient times. It’s a miracle that we don’t see pigeons flying around the school delivering letters. Is it because we are at the other end of world so it will then take a longer time for these new “fabs” to reach us?

Or is it like what Juan said that NTU people just don't bring laptops around and so we don't use this kind of stuff that requires access to a computer? Then again, is that a valid excuse/reason? Hmm.

Bottomline: The use of social networks is largely dependent on the rate of adoption of your social circle.

Oh wells. You know, social networks can be such a chore if you actually want to get something out of it (other than staying in touch with friends). You have to look and search profiles to look for people that you find interesting or if you are really plastic and fake, look for people that you find gorgeous. Gosh. I know I can use TweetScan to search for people to follow, but I am just so lazy to do that. Look at all those Tweets and yada yada yada *yawns*

But I think I will stay on to Twitter. Because I can blog in terms of Tweets on days when I just don't feel like talking. Basically I just put all my Tweets (meepok strands) for the day in the post and *tada* done(a bowl of meepok)! Whees~ Ok, we’ll see how.

USE TWITTER! JOIN JOIN JOIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Follow me !(:

A smile will do for the title(:

The morning didn't go so well. I blew the whistle finally.

Called scotchey right after that and told her the whole ordeal. I realized that I am going to be late for my meeting with bestie and juan so I took a cab (yes, again!) from JP to City Hall MRT station. Yakked with scotchey on the phone throughout the whole journey. It was really nice(: Realized we have yet to have a proper yakking session since last semester? We used to do it every week during our 1hour break before HP102. As we move on to Year 3, will we have even lesser chance to yak?:(

Anyways, we yakked all the way from JP to City Hall(: Then I had to hang up to call bestie and Juan. The three of us met up and we all went to Marina Square's Azabu Sabo for lunch. Okay, I had lunch, bestie had my sides and Juan watched. The restaurant obviously has an identity crisis! Look:

It's a Japanese restaurant! So why are there furry stuff dangling from their chairs? It looks more Korean than Japanese?

I took the candid shots of Lai and Juan(: Nice? Hahahs. I was being silly (as usual) when Juan took the picture of me-.-

Took some pictures of the food since the two of them REFUSE to take pictures:

the riceballs from my meal that I gave to bestie(:

the green tea cup and my handphone(:

We sat there talking for quite awhile before we decided to move. We walked abit and then Juan said she felt like having 鸳鸯 from some HK restaurant and so we headed over to the place where Juan had her 鸳鸯 and the two of us had iced horlicks. Their horlicks are filled with plenty on ice and comes in really lousy water can:

Sat and chatted for awhile before Lai had to leave for her tuition. Here's the three of us once again:

I look miserable-.- Hahas. But I was very very happy okay? Just that I look bad in both the pictures! (: But yups, went home for a short while. Changed and met Lai again for dinner at AMK Hub with the guys.

Met up with bestie again and then we went to New York New York to look for Aiseong and Jonathan aka 暗的 (the dark one). He always always like to mess up my already messy hair. And of course, compare his skin color to mine :

暗的 v.s. 亮的

I think Joshua likes to do that as well. IF I see him on the streets or during one of the very rare inter-batch council gathering-.- I know I am fair, guys! Not my fault! I can't seem to get tan, ok? Been trying since secondary 1!!!

Dinner was okay. With the bestie and I "muttering" comments about the guys. Hahas. And we just talk and walked abit more. I saw this skirt in G2000 that I rather like. It has a silk sash (is that what it's called?) as a belt! I might go back and get for my PA(:

Bestie and I were both tired so we lead the guys to Andersen's ice-cream and settled down comfortably in one of the cushion seats *bliss*

I managed to convince everyone to have the Family Fondue and when the fondue came, I went, "SHIT! I forgot that fondue contains chocolate!!!" Yes, I FORGOT! So I end up eating my Rum 'n' Raisins + Strawberry Cream ice-cream, marshmallows and some fruits WITHOUT the chocolate.

The Family Fondue:

Their strawberries comes with the "leafy" part. Bestie tried her hardest to remove them for me but they won't come off! So in the end, I only had kiwi and honeydews-.- But I love my bestie because she takes care of me in this little sort of way(:

We sat there talking about insignificant stuff and Jonathan keeps trying to take a picture of bestie and she keeps hiding behind her bag :

that's a very tired me trying to act cute.
( I look haggard, no?)

My eyes become really tiny when I smile so I decided to open them up manually.

Whees~ After awhile, I started yawning and rubbing my eyes. So the guys suggested that we go home(:

Everyone went home and messaged me to check if I've reached home(: Nice nice(:

I like hanging out with my bestie even though it's hard for us to meet up. We don't really talk about anything that's thought-provoking. But the easy way that we get along and how we are on the same frequency most of the time makes it really fun(:

I know she's worried about me. That's why she's constantly asking me to JIAYOU and relax for my exams(: Asking me to sleep early and drink more water. Asking me to stop using colgate and go look for a dermatologist before my skin gets any worse(:

I'm really glad there is you, bestie(:

(I had to bent my head so that we will be the same height(:)

Bestie: " We are not from ACJC or HCJC lehs."
Me: "Yeah. We are not from SJI or something! So since when do we have such a rich friend?"
Juan: *pause and laughs*

I am ready for my bad day tomorrow! Because a good day always has to be followed by a bad day. Well, at least in my world(: Took me 2 hours to write this post-.-
