okay, i spent almost the whole day on this post because i have shitloads of photos and now that my camera is finally now of reasonable quality, the photos take ages to upload.
anyway a quick recap of the past week.
friday and sunday was at the airport mugging with mollie chio. i caught up with all the 311 lectures and was pretty damn proud of myself :D
i can never get enough of popeyes. i always say, if you haven't eaten popeyes, you haven't lived. :D
monday lyd left for japan!! :(
thursday morning i went for 311 lecture and jo played with my camera.
and later on i really spent my 4hours break in the reading room with my laptop and watched 4 episodes of Gossip Girl.
how is it possible that these people are my age? it's unreal!
anyway the gorgeous cast and clothes and scandalous storyline had me hooked up til episode 9 until i found out from wikipedia that serena and dan aren't going to stay together and i immediately stopped watching :(
friday was dinner with the "The World is Very Small" gang at the furthest point of the west, Raffles Marina at Tuas. haha alright it's really a lovely place but well i can foresee i wont be back there in the near future given that nobody really lives near there.
i went to shuxian's house before meeting the other two.
cookie is too damn cute!
shuxian later drove us over to the marina. pity we missed the sunset!
and i still havent figured out the settings for night mode.
Raffles Marina, where all the people from the Upper East Side of Singapore park their toys.
dinner was common fare but it was well worth it for the ambience
i already had a sneaking feeling that it was going to be a camwhoring night when bel asked whether i brought my camera along.
and hahaha. we spent almost an hour camwhoring at the gorgeous lobby of the clubhouse, with the help of my trusty self-timer ;)
(DO NOT LAUGH AT UNGLAM PHOTOS!)
HAHA
really grainy 'cos i had to adjust the ISO to the highest to capture them jumping. anyway i laughed really hard while taking these pictures. clever shuxian refused to join in with the unglam-ness. hahaha

it's a busy 5-day (yeurgh!) week and i cant wait for recess week! although it'll mostly be packed with projects all the same, at least there wont be 830 classes
random thoughts:
i realised i quite like all my modules im taking this sem, except for services which is absolutely torturous. the percussion tutor sucks but i cant possibly hate a module that's related to music! i heart my 311 tutor because up til now im up to speed with what's going on in the syllabus thanks to his brilliant summarising every week during tutorials and i also heart 315 because i feel smarter after every seminar, although it is not fun hearing my prof say "i wouldnt want to take your 315 paper this semester". :(
i wish idiotic people would stop crashing the market in cesim.
it was a happy wednesday! this fashion is a treasure trove of lovely clothes, and with xin mei's 30% discount card.. gosh i could just stay there the whole day. i got a top and a dress and i'm a happy person :D although as i added them to my wardrobe i realised that im starting to have way too many clothes for my own good. i have at least 5 dresses and 5 tops that have not seen the light of day. it's time to stop shopping because HK is beckoning and i need lots of moolah for shopping over there!
dinner was wonderful with wil and ber @ simpang! i love wednesday dinners with them! :)
oh yes 27 to 30 dec it is! i heart HK! :D
anyway it'd be a sad thursday because i have 830 lecture, 1030 proj til 1230, and my next project is at 430. :( but i have decided to hide myself in one of the godforsaken corners of Library 2 with the tiongs and watch jia hao/gossip girl/scrubs! oh and perhaps do some work.

photoscape rocks! :)anyway how is jetstar supposed to be budget when the air fares for a round trip to HK breaks down as such:
Jetstar: $553
Singapore Airlines: $585

honestly, watching this show can cause heart attacks sometimes. i've always avoided watching HK family dramas because i know i have a weak heart and i cannot handle the extremities of emotions that one will go through when watching such show genres:
the constant screaming and yelling family confrontations. the evil bitches scheming to harm the family. the complicated love triangles. the hilarious family gathering scenes.
but it's the formula of anger + outrage + happiness + sadness that keeps me drawn to this show. it's ridiculous. the show can make me so furious one second that i want to throw things at my laptop, and then will soothe me (usually when the evil bitches are confronted or thrown out of the house) before it puts me through the whole turmoil when somebody plots again against somebody else. sometimes i can't even bring myself to watch some of the scenes because i think i'll just start yelling irrelevant stuff at innocent people on msn. (it has happened before. watching episode 29 made me start typing in CAPS to shuxian and yuexin ranting about wanting to wring the neck of the fat ugly actress that is kate tsui hahaha)
and taking a moment to introduce the overacting, under-emoting lame excuse
for an actress
yes, the ever ugly kate tsui. granted, i did find two particularly bad photos of her, but well, she must have kissed some serious ass to get to where she is today seeing the extent of how she CANNOT act.
(sorry. after effects of watching the show.)
ANYWAY.
yet, everyday i will faithfully refresh the page that contains the download links to the show, just so i can download the next episode to satisfy the apparent perverse urge to put myself through such emotional turbulence. but ultimately, i think we all love this show is because we know at the end of the day, the bad guys would get their just desserts, and that's why i willingly give myself an adrenaline rush everyday, be it with anger or happiness.
such is the typical formula of a HK family drama. yet, such is a winning formula of a drama that would go down as one of the best dramas i've ever watched.
(and i personally think this show triumphs over Heart of Greed because well, HoG just deals out the tears nonstop with no happy ending. i cannot handle it. haha)

yesterday was just one of those lovely days
and one very important discovery i've made:
MY HAIR IS REALLY THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE!
okay like i didn't know that before. but today just reinforced that, but more on that later.
woke up at the unreasonable time of 830 to meet wil and ber to head towards school (yes SCHOOL. ON MY FREE DAY) to practice for our percussion test on monday (which i'm pretty sure i'm going to screw up anyway so whatever)
ber very hardworking lah. i got bored after 15 minutes and i went to play the piano.
or maybe it's just my really good camera. hahaha.
setting off towards what was a last minute decision to salvage our hair @ wenjin's dad's hair salon at tanjong pagar plaza. look at my puke-worthy hair and remember it because this was what happened after i was done with treatment
wil hearts his hair too
ber's curls are super pretty!

we showed wil around nbs and in the midst i nearly got an heart attack seeing 6 people wearing the orientation tee in a span of 10 minutes.
and we realised nie has a really lovely environment!or maybe it's just my really good camera. hahaha. setting off towards what was a last minute decision to salvage our hair @ wenjin's dad's hair salon at tanjong pagar plaza. look at my puke-worthy hair and remember it because this was what happened after i was done with treatment

I HEART MY HAIR!!
I HEART MY HAIR!!!
weekly friday night dinner with xin mei and ah yin @ xin wang
oh yeah and i heart my hair! :)
unfortunately, today i washed it and it went back to the bird's nest it was. I AM SUPER SAD. MY HAIR IS BEYOND SALVAGING. I WANT TO REBOND MY BLOODY HAIR INTO OBLIVION
saturday lunch with lyd and mol. LYD IS GOING TO JAPAN FOR ONE WHOLE YEAR!! :( our journey to the west clan will be incomplete for one whole year!! :( (hahah i think lyd is SUPER CUTE in the photo above!)
mollie's legs are damn dark can!
anyway i have decided that i HAVE (HAVE, not WANT. okay lah. i also want, and NEED) to rebond my hair, but until then i have to make sure my hair is in acceptable condition, which means I WILL NOT DYE MY HAIR ANYMORE. i have not dyed my hair since 24th december 2007 and i will not dye my hair again until it's healthy once again. my hair colour is back to what it was two and a half years ago and i'm actually liking it. :)
