School is starting. Ohmytian! ♥
It took me great pains to place the chocolate rice grain by grain to form the words kay??
My pressies!! <3!
Thursday had been my medical check-up at NUS...and I'm like damn scared. I'm dying!! Anyone wants to inherit anything, just leave a tag. I know there isn't much, but you guys might still want something in memory of me =(( Anyways, a BIG fat thank you to Maggie Mee for going with me...and accompanying me through the ordeal of a long train ride to the West (aka the Dark Side). But then again, I've been to SIM with you sooo many times too! I'm such a good friend, ain't I? Heehee...
After that was going to Bugis for shopping! Didn't mean to do any serious shopping but we ended with quite a fruitful trip. Lol! We got our long awaited leather cuffs! Punk eh, Maggie? I thought it was quite a good price too...or maybe it's because places like 77th street are overpriced. And I also bought my haversack! Woot! A totally unexpected buy because I've always wanted a black leather/cloth kind, but bought a patent one. But it was also at a much cheaper price so I'm quite happy with the buy. Next up would be a quest for my sneakers and Maggie's dunks. =))
We debated over Ajisen and Billy Bomber's for lunch and ended up at Crystal Jade (again!) for our all-time fav, Zha Jiang Mian and Xiao Long Bao! This time we also tried Beijing Shui Jiao which is officially an addition to our all-time favs. Lol! The meat filling is really good, better than the XLB's but XLB has got a nicer....skin? O_o
A must try! The noodles look so pretty in this pic. Lol!
XLBs! It tastes much better than it looks...
Went for my last tuition lesson with Trevor after that before my school starts...have to really arrange my timetable and manage my schedule well to fit Trevor and Jiajun in...plus ushering with Maggie at the Singapore Indoor Stadium if we do get the job, plus CCA if I do join. Thinking of joining pool!!! That is like super-cool since JH just thrashed me recently again... But I need company! Any NUSian (do they call themselves that??) interested?
Random pic of Trevor.
The past days had been going down to NUS for registration and talks with Alex, SY and Denise. I'm glad I had Alex and SY for company during the long journey...I would just DIE if I had nobody but the morning sleepy crowd for company during such long, long quests to The Dark Side. Ohmytian! School starts (unofficially) already, seeing as we go there nearly everyday. Especially Thursday onwards when OWeek starts. Le Sigh. Call me a lazy bum, or an uncontented soul but my 7 months break seems too short all of a sudden. I have mixed feelings about school...
Anyways, meeting up with Alex and SY had been really fun. We tried out Kuishin-bo's buffet on Monday for dinner. There was snow crabs! And loads of good food and good sushi. SY loves their salmon (sashimi and/or grilled), Alex loves their tempura...I thought their teppanyaki was good too. Dessert had loads of cake and tarts and eclairs and donuts and traditional Jap stuff and even a small chocolate fountain! They also had like occassional "surprises" for the diners whenever they played their "Bombombom. Kuishin-bo. 123. We love Kuishin-bo" themesong. I find it hilarious, and watching the kiasu Singaporeans dash for the "surprises"...no wonder their gimmicks sell. We each paid 40+ after that though. =(( After we ate, we stayed there to digest and played abit of Daidee and Bridge too...then we started playing our version of "Truth or Truth". Played more "Would you rather" on the train back too, and laughed alot. Haven't had such talks with these guys for such a long time. It was a really nice night together!
And now, for some much overdued photos. The Eyes Cold Lemonade people =))
Maggie and I threatened QQ and forced eyeliner on him. Wahahahhaa! Daughter and son bullying their mum. Tsktsk.
Introducing...Maggie, vocalist/guitar. Me, bass. QQ, lead guitarist.
They're coming over to my place for more "jamming" tomorrow again! Hope to play something good. Whee! We look so act cool in the pics...when we were actually laughing like mad while taking them. What a crazy bunch.
Tuesdays with
*Warning : extremely long post ahead
The meal JY, Maggie and I shared at Astons'. 3 different main courses with 6 different sides and a shared glass of grape soda. This is heaven.
After our session of singing, Maggie proceeded to opening the door to leave.
And we discovered that we're stuck! Room with an open window - good or bad, I don't know. People looking in like we're monkeys in the zoo but on the bright side, we managed to get our next door neighbours for help.
This was another night when we wanted to try out the food at Indulgz. Upon reaching, 3 of us suddenly felt like pigging out so we strode right past Indulgz into our usual steamboat buffet.
All ready for a feast!
Movie that night was The Dark Knight which is such an awesome choice! Thankfully it's not horror because Huihui wasn't there to scream with me this time. Screaming alone would be totally embarrassing. Instead, I had Siti next to me who kept going on about how hot
*Note: Spoiler ahead
I personally loved the movie despite it being a little too lengthy. It is not like your typical superhero movie. I thought that this was more realistic and the focus was not solely on Batman and his super-cool gadgets, but on the civillians, the circumstances and threat, the fear and desperation. It showed how superheroes have times of weaknesses as well. This made the movie a rather depressing one because it made me feel so helpless. Heath Ledger had played the Joker really, really well. He was so disturbing, so psychotic and soooo manipulative. The way he played with people's minds and relished in the victory of seeing fear in people's faces... I think the best part of his acting would be the scene where he skipped out of the hospital in a nurse outfit. Everyone thought he was hilarious in his outfit and wig, and the way he played with the detonator, but I thought that just accentuated his psycho-ness. Le sigh! I wish he can be resurrected... "Why so serious?"
I also loved the part near the end where the ferry of prison inmates and ferry of innocent civillians were made to kill each other. It was either detonating the others' bomb or get killed themselves. It is everyone's first instincts to save themselves and that's what the Joker thought as well. I almost cried during the part when 1 of the prisoners approached the army people on board, told him he can tell the rest that he took the detonator by force, and promptly threw it out of the window. "Give it to me and I will do what you should have done 10 minutes ago". On the civillians side, it was also touching that they ultimately didn't do it, althought majority voted yes and they thought the prisoners deserved to die since they robbed others of their own lives. When the Joker's plan had failed him, Batman told him that not everyone is as ugly as him...which is what sets humans apart from other creatures. The humane side of us can be so heartwarming.
The symbolism of Harvey Dent getting half his face burnt was also very meaningful. It was when he started becoming two-faced, both literally and metaphorically. (Goodness! I'm getting a tad too influenced by my Lit classes) I thought that the make-up was really gruesome and realistic too. Only thing is that I don't think a man burnt like that would be able to move or talk much, much less drink alcohol and seek revenge! Batman's uber-cool gadgets are also uber-cool and his Lamborghini is ohmytian!
*End of spoiler
The movie only ended at 2am so by the time I reached home, it was nearly 3am! Thankfully, Jeremy drove that day so he gave Zhiyi and I a ride home. Hurray for drivers living in the East! And I like his car-van-thingamajig too! There's this metal grille separating the back and the front seats, music blasting at the front with pretty lights and a sofa bed at the back where I almost wanted to fall asleep on...not the usual cool, sleek car but I thought it was very cozy. I want a car like that! Except it's too boyish and I can't drive. Lol!
Talking about driving, congrats to Maggie for passing her driving test! Considering that she is always so blur, I'm afraid she'll confuse the accelerator with the brake, I'm really proud of her for passing on her first try! Yay! Maggie Y.M.Q, I hereby promote you to become my brother-cum-chauffeur! =X
Saturday was busy, busy, busy. Met up with Denise, Zee, Maddie and Jas at Starbucks for a dose of caffeine and some catching up before submitting our Orientation forms and met up with Adlin (the first since she got back from Aus this time!) and Alex. We then went for our Sec 4/7 outing together. There was Jolie, Steph, Van (nae the perv), Lavinia, Grace, Rachel and Hazel. We all then da-bao-ed food (Carl's Jr is yummy!!!! Sinful. Humongous portion. But yummy.) to the Sky Garden at Suntec and picnic-ed there. The grass patch was full of flies so we sat on the cement ground instead, and Jolie kept insisting on taking a pic on the grass patch afterwards. Being the crazy bunch we are, we talked and laughed alot as usual, and end up in need of therapy because Jolie flashed us. There's this pic of her trying to act seductive too and she actually put her hands over her boobs.... wait till I get my hands on that photo. Camwhored alot before going down to watch this symphony band performance by a school from New Zealand. They're like awesome...the music sounded like it came from a CD! And guys younger than us on a violin solo? The SACians are willing to turn paedo. (Joking!)
Nice, quiet place (apart from us noisy bunch)!
Jolie, being spastic as usual and insisted on playing Traffic Light (which isn't even a game!) and ToogiToogi which is a crazy game with us crazy people
Adlin cheated and didn't even jump! Pfft.
Our group shot after the picnic
After that was meeting up with JH (there, your name in pink again), Isebelle, Yiwei, Siying, Fenglin, and our dearest seniors Weitian, Zuwei, Zhiyuan, Darren and Eugene for dinner at New York New York. Food was good, company was good, and free cotton candy was better!
Fooooood, glorious food!
My chicken chop was good =))
Ise loooves her cotton candy too, huh? (Why the grimace?)
And here are some other random pictures!
Here's Beauty, who looks so confused when I was playing with her and the big carton box =X
She attacked me with her big, wet nose! =((
I got cheated by the arcade and was upset so JH decided to treat me on a ride on the Ferris Wheel. Wahahhaha!
We couldn't afford a ride on The Flyer so here's the budget version. Lol!
Us on our budget ride!
Pretty wall painting at Gelare
Doesn't this waffle with ice cream and whipped cream and fruits with a drizzle of maple syrup just tempts you?!
Pretty broccoli arranged by me! And cooked by me!
Carbonara with linguine, ham, mushroom and sausages. Prepared solely by me! All JH did was cut the ingredients =P
Feeling lost and emo-ish. Le Sigh. ♥
I have realised that I've been starting my blog entries with "First of all"s (for the past 3 entries in fact) so I have decided not to do so for this entry. Perhaps I'm not that good with my language as some of you guys may think. I have a very
I'm suddenly feeling emo because I've had a fight with SY just recently. Previously, I had no qualms with applying for FASS simply because I've got my "best friends" with me. Best friends whom I had wanted to stay with in a small rented apartment, whom I would share my bed and closet with. Now, I haven't been talking to SY much, and neither Alex. Why, I do not know. Perhaps Alex has heard SY's side of the story and has decided to ignore my sms, or perhaps she's far too busy to reply. Writing this makes me sound like some deranged teenager but seriously, I feel quite upset now. In fact, I'm more of pissed off with SY rather than sorry I quarrelled with her.
All I did was sms SY one fine day coz I thought I should start making arrangements for my NUS medical checkup. And this is how our conversation went...(Words in Italic are my own comments)
Me: Hey! You wanna go medical checkup with me on my day, since ours are only 1 day apart?
SY: I have driving theory test on the 15th (which is my scheduled day for the checkup). So can only go on my own day on 16th.
Me: What time is it?
SY: It's at 2 plus. You come on my day lo.
Me: We can go before your test. Or after? What time does it end?
SY: Pls la. Who knows how long it lasts. Later i late for test how. Plus i also wanna revise. After my test go there they closing le. Why can't you come on 16th? You got nothing on what. (Why the fark she suddenly became so angry, I do not know.)
Me: What makes you think I got nothing on that day? (Which is true, coz I've got tuition with Trevor then). Thing is, if you come on my day and they don't allow, you can go next day on your actual checkup day. If I go on your day and they don't allow, I won't be able to go on my actual day. Forget it..
Now read her reply. She says, and I quote.
SY: Thanks ar. Like that you just want someone to pei you what. If you got something on you'll say it like from the start. Stop being so selfish can..(wtf?!) You only think of you missing your day but not of me wasting my time if they dun allow right?
Me: I said if they don't allow what. If they don't allow, you can go on the next day. If they don't allow us to go on a diff day, what can I do? Change your surname arh? (Our checkup days are scheduled based on our names alphabetically) You're the unreasonable one calling me selfish for nothing (absolutely nothing, seriously) and throwing your temper. Did I even step on your toes?
And our conversation ends there. I admit my tone and choice of words had been harsh but she started flaring up first. I was so super mad and hurt that she called me selfish, that I sent her that before I could reconsider my words. But you know what? I know no matter how I explain in my reply, she'll still think she's damn right. Hers is such a personality so headstrong, she'll never realise she's the selfish one ironically. She's selfish for not even wanting to do something for a friend, to accompany her friend (especially since she'll be doing her checkup as well, unless they don't allow her going a day early), and selfish for calling me selfish and not considering my feelings. I'm not going to sound like some emotional lesbian getting hurt over insensitive comments. I know we've been best friends for life and will probably get over this the next time we meet (I hope at least) but right now, I'm just
Other upsetting stuff going on in my life is that I quarelled with my sister again (which isn't something new) and since my parents are off to Thailand, I'm stuck with her. The walls are much better company because we're both not talking to each other either. Only difference is that when she does talk to me, she's soooo rude. Also, Michael's facing family probs and may be staying in HK for good, and talking to him about it is making me depressed as well. But anyways, Happy Birthday to Niko and Michael! (The font's gray coz I'm emo-ing right now. Using a bright, happy colour would ruin my theme for this entry.) Now I'm potentially short of another friend in NUS (I'm not saying I'm no longer friends with SY though). Sigh. Why is life such a pain in the butt?
Think happy thoughts. Think happy thoughts, Emy.
Saturday had been barbeque with the Interact Exco and junior Exco so it had been fun catching up with them, except we hardly talked to the juniors. Meeting up with the seniors in the new future so I hope it'll be a better outing. It was also a happy day cos JH (there your name in pink again) treated me to Swenson's cos it was our 11th month anniversary. Black pepper seafood pasta and banana split sundae (choc peanut buttercup, thin mint and strawberry scoops) = yummy. Thank you loads for the treat! Tomorrow would be outing with JY and Maggie after tuition with Trevor and I can't wait to meet them. Probably going to sing then to Astons' for dinner...and that'll be loads of cheering up (although they're unaware of my emo-ness) =))
I don't want to rant so I shall end my entry here.
May tomorrow be a better day.
P.S I think my blog entries are dry without pictures, so to fit with today's emo theme, I have chosen to insert random emo pics throughout the entry. When I Googled for emo images, I somehow found lots of emo gay pics. Now that is disturbing. Perhaps this opens up another topic for me to write about... i.e homosexualism? Then I wouldn't just be blogging about my everyday life and brush up on my writing skills by discussing actual topics. Maybe that would make me controversial and I may become a blogger, and not just someone who blogs. Now that's a hilarious thought, especially with my inadequate writing skills. I crack myself up sometimes...P.P.S This entry solely acts as an outlet for my frustration and the entry today had been extremely personal, and was written during an angsty-teenager phase so I don't want it to affect or upset anybody. These inner (and somewhat negative) thoughts of my friendship with Alex and SY were not written in an objective condition and I assure you, my other inner thoughts of them are very, very positive. I know they do not read my blog (or hardly anyways), so guys, please please, I beg of you, do not blab the contents to either of them because I do not want this to jeopardise our friendship. Thank-you-very-much.
