saturday was a great day of fun and splurge. supposed to be a bday celebration for cheryl but many couldnt make it, had no choice but to either postpone it or cancel it. so in the end, cheryl and i still meet up and carmen suddenly joined us at around 7. she walked all the way from queensway to orchard, very very amazing... siaochabor. haha.

we chatted for quite long at coffee bean and realised that my expenses at work is the highest among the 3 of us. well, carmen and cy have already saved up 1k for the hk trip, im still struggling to. =/ if my angbaos money are included, im somewhere there already. but still... i would have had my 1k long ago if i could spend less on my lunch and dinners. to add on, my appetite is growing and ive no idea why. im eating extraordinarily more each meals.
it's really time for me to cut down my spending on food to save money and to lose some fat. =/
soooo... im going to have more home-cooked food next week!

the photos taken (:

and here's the photo of sharon and i, taken at the entrance of marina mandarin hotel. and of course, i looked too fair and fat. eyes small untill cannot... haha.

okay, lets pray hard that im going to acheive my saving plan and diet control for next week!

going to be happier and more energetic this week! at the same time, we shall look forward to the next weekend! ((:

-.-

this week feels completely different from last week. was in a rather happy happy mood last week probably due to the anticipation of d&d and the actual d&d event.

well, after all the fun last week, everything is back to the normal and the routine. something different from the usual was that one of my colleague is transferred to another office. that was definitely not a good news. it feels wierd, maybe i just cant get used to it. seems like loads of stuff happened this week and i did quite some bit of reflection. learnt to be more tolerant and to feel fortunate. hmm, just like...

when you met someone who behaves in a rather silly way, you should feel fortunate because you're able to behave apropriately. i guess it's normal to be angered by the silly acts of your friends and i finally get a taste of it after listening to carmen's rantings abt her beloved wierdo classmate for 2 yrs. it can really makes you boil sometimes. yet, you feel almost helpless, that's just the way she is. she just dont get what's wrong and just cant tell her straight into her face cause it's too harsh for such an innocent figure. sometimes, her innocence and her complete trust in you just melt you and it just make me feel like a big villian. hate this feeling, im going to get advices from carmen soon. afterall, she went thru this for 2 complete yrs! muhaha.
shit, i really feel like a villian, especially when i laughed sneakily at her wierd acts/funny expressions/awkward smiles/and the list goes on (this is so bad!) who knows, i might not be that pleasant in others' eyes too. pls, dont pass me any retribution. im awared of my bad deeds and im willing to change and accept others for who they are. im just............ a little pissed sometimes.

okay, i promise, i'll try to be a better person to clear my guilt. it's time for peili to train her patience and tolerance.

on a brighter note, im going out with cheryl tomorrow. nono, it should be later on. yes, just me and cheryl since the rest cant make it, we're converting it into a shopping and cam-whoring session instead of a bday celebration. im having the urge to spend money on bangles and some vintage stuff. life's boring, it's time for a change, to make life a little more anticipating and interesting. if only im financially capable of employing reena as image consultant. hahahaha.

what else... im going to set new week resolutions for every week! set the tasks that i wanna complete and hopefully try some new things each week! for now, ive only one task in mind, that is to go to my aunt's gym next week. im feeling fat and im eat exceptionally more this week......

let's look forward to a new weeeeekkkkkk okay.......

im having cravngs for all sorts of food now. long john, pizza (VERY), subway, ice-blended mocha, banquet's sliced fish meehoon, westcoast hawker's steak, chilled sandwich and... ajisen's tomyam la mian. anyone who is free for dinner, pls sms me and we can arrange... haha...


anyway, this month's issue of the seventeen mag is not bad. haha, they offer 17 ways of spending time alone and i find them pretty useful. ahh, comes at the right time. but of the 17 methods, ive tried 6 already.


listing some of the stuff which i feel like trying, as recommended on seventeen:


1. cook something
love thinking up new receipes? test your culinary skills by preparing a nice three-course meal for yourself. Then sit down and savour it.
(sounds very cool isnt it? but apparently my culinary skills are limited. then the more i should give it a try! at most lao sai alone. =X)


2.Make like a Tourist
Explore a heritage neighbourhood or vibrant areas such as Arab Street or little india and Chinatown and take in all their distinctive sights, smells and sounds.
(can go and get some vintage stuff and take nice photos as well. i would prefer to go with a friend though)


3. Look good for nothing
Spend the afternoon trying on outfits and shoes in all your fave stores. this is a great way to find your style.
(would love to do it, but sg's salespersons' service arent very good. they probably give you black faces if you try 2o pcs and end up not buying. still, i want to try... and with a friend preferably, haha, im too hum to do it alone.)


4. Hit the books.
Browse the library or bookstore and look for tittles that grab your interest. who knows what treasures you might stumble upon.
(im currently doing so. borrowed 3 books on saturday and i have yet to flip a single page. sleeping on the bus seems to be more enjoyable than reading a book, coming online before bedtime seems better than reading a book. shit. however, i would like to go to kino one day... muahaha... volunteers? like carmen? ops.)


alright, time to go and sleep (again) so that i can stop knocking onto the passenger sitting beside me every morning.

dead bored after staying at home for the entire day. i remembered i used to be very busy with all the homework and revision till i have to skip my fav tv shows, postpone some of the stuff that i like to do, and even have to restrict the amt of time i spent online. but now, im sick of staying online, lazy to chat on msn till the stage that i normally appeared offline. it has been thousand years long since i last chatted for long hours over the phone. getting more and more lazy to do anything and now, im feeling so useless and life's getting meaningless. (im not going to commit sucide, no worries)

used to spend long hours looking for nice photos/pictures online, finding and making blogskins. sigh, wonder what happened to me. maybe ive just passed the teenage period, losing interest in alot of so-called teenage activities.

got really really bored today after lazing around for hours, switched on the laptop for the second time today, to blog hop and also went surfing photobucket. saved quite alot of nice pictures under the vintage theme, realised vintage stuff are pretty nice (:

below are some of my favourites.

i love the bag!

well, the memories and best friends pictures look very carmen-ish. haha

"Everyone has a secret world inside of them" i believe it's true [:

i like the layout and colours.

like the shoes and beads.

feel like getting a hoodie in hk. not as pink as this though. haha

a vintage collage.

i want a polaroid camera! tsk, it would be so spendthrift if i really go and get one.

this is cute (:

"where did hope go?"

"You're just a line in a song"

i like the font and the bangles.

like her slim figure and her siky hair. haha

hopefully tomorrow wouldnt be so bored anymore. i really need to find back 'life'. if not im wasting the free-est moment i could ever have in my life. i should be enjoying. arrggh.
tolong tolong, results pls come out quick. this kind of waiting is driving me crazy, feeling so stucked and i cant do any planning now. dumped all the uni's brochures and i havent plan whether to go for their talks, for a very simple reason... i have no confidence in my results.
this feeling......... sucks.

d&d

my very first D&D (:

had my very first d&d last night at marina mandarin hotel. it was a fanastic night with all the entertaining programmes and the humerous emcees. took quite alot of photos but i still havent had enough. haha, greedy. nevertheless, im glad i get to take nice photos under the orangey lightings there (cause i think i look nicer under those dim lights then the bright white light, look slimmer, muhaha)
the theme for yesterday's d&d was Retro and most of the ppl are really retro-ly dressed, and of coures, me too (:

Here's a photo of sharon, me, amanda and yvonne (from left to right)

me, christina and amanda.

actually, yvonne and amanda are from the other office, and im rather surprised ive got stuff to talk to them even though it's just the first few times ive met yvonne and the very first time ive met amanda.

a photo taken at the entrance of marina mandarin.

left to right - me, christina, yvonne, christine and sharon.

well, this is me and christina. haha, realised she's a very simple person.

here's me with paul. im looking fat here =/
so sad.

and me with peter!
peter and paul are brothers (:

kate and me. she's really very retro-ly dressed!
too bad it's not a full length photo, cant see the boots she's wearing.

okay, and below are 2 photos ive taken when im back home. i know, it's abit zi lian. haha, just wanna take down the make-up face of mine. eh, hopefully it doesnt look too much like a demon or monster. actually i kinda like it, look quite different. hahas... okay, enough. im still a noob in doing make-up. oh yah, by the way, i look my retro hairband alot! :D

okay, here comes my favourite photos for that night! (not in order)
they're my fav cause they're well-taken and im looking nicer than usual there. hehheh.

here's me and christine, who has left the company already. and it's actually my first contact with her last night. cool, she has a very very cute voice.

now, it's me and ah lei! i like this photo because it can only see my part of my face, hiding my big fat face. haha! and also, i like the lights on top which appeared like fireworks in this photo.

last of all, the photo of me and peter, taken after the event has ended.
awesomely taken, isnt it? (though my eyes look small again)
so much thanks to sharon (:

it's really a night to remember. my very first d&d, a very special and memorable night.
a pity i didnt get to take photos with kim, jasey and boss. i guess this is a very very pleasant working experience in orangetee, compared to my past experiences at wang foong and toyrus.
sadly, the days i have in orangetee are limited. this experience is just a stepping stone, i've still got a very way to go, alot more to pursue. hah, it's too early to say anything. if results turn out bad, i have got nowhere to go and hopefully orangetee dont mind having an A level sub-passed employee like me then. =X

whatever the case, i shant be bothered over such things now! it's supposed to be a joyous entry!
really really have to thank my friend alot for introducing this wonderful job to me (:
awwwww. im really feeling so thankful to everyone which made all these possible!
THANK YOU :D

the night is dark now and i realised it has been quite a long time since i last sat here alone, enjoying the uninterupted flow of songs played on the fm, stare in blank, and sometimes, ponder.
this kind of feeling is something that i dont know how to describe in words.

xxxxx

confused by the masked faces, it's better to follow suit and put on a mask. there's always no harm keeping some stuff to yourself.

i think it's silly and it's time to get over such tiny weeny stuff and move on. because in the first place, im not supposed to go thru all these.

as much as i wish i can continue to enjoy this moment of serenity, my eyelids are feeling so heavy. it's time for bed and to end this beautiful day (:

goodnight and a happy belated valentine's day.

for singles, like what carmen wrote, it's a celebration of singlehood (:

ah, after the long cny break, im really still in the festive mood and definitely not ready to work or do anything serious. this year's cny is superb without worrying abt common tests and homework. it's an ultimate enjoyment! feeling soooo thankful for this rare holiday after the 18 yrs of restricted amount of cny fun. 4 days of cny holiday just isnt enough! busy having fun everyday and each day was packed with activities (:


well, as usual. my favourite photo comes first (:
this is just one of my fav photos, the rest all mostly taken at the sentosa flowers fair.

here's a photo of the kids, not a full attendance one though. haha.
from top to bottom, left to right: kimseng, sis, yanying, huixuan, me, yanzhen.
and at the bottom are 3 of our nephews. yes, nephews. though you can only see 2 of them, there are actually 3 there. they're brothers - bryan, jeryl and marcus.
this photo is taken on chu yi, the first day (:

the girl in red below is our niece! so cute! her name is caley. not quite sure how to spell it, but it's pronnounce as kay-li.

and of course we have loads of food and steamboat sessions. da-dang! the photos of 3 seperate steamboat sessions at 2 different houses. fat fat fat.

here's a photo of me with my fav cousins, and all of them happened to be younger than me. ah, looks like im children idol. muhahahas.



im just kidding, haha. it's actually our common interest that has brought us so close, i supposed. and thats no other than gambling. dont worry, we're not addicts. we gather to gamble only once a year. hahas...


hah, look at the photo of the 5 of us 12 years ago. it was taken during CNY back in 1996, which is the year of the rat as well.



and look at our attempt to imitate our childish poses. haha, it isnt hard to notice how much we've matured. we've agreed to take another photo 12 years later (:

it makes me feel so fortunate to have a bunch of cousins who are fun and comfortable to be with.
hah, sadly, that only occurs on our paternal side. maybe there's something to do with the blood, they always say paternal cousins are genetically more identical. ive no idea though. if it goes according to the mendalian genetics, it doesnt seems to make sense. ah, whatever, i dont like bio and i cant spell mendalian. shit.

xxxx

then on chu san, the 3rd day. yy and ks joined us (me,sis,mum) for the flower fair thing at sentosa. the crowd was horribly and unexpectedly huge, making it less fanastic. in fact, all of us find this year's flower fair lousy. look at the crowd below, we have to queue to go up there for the flowers.

and below are the pretty pretty photos. love them...

doesnt this look like a personalised new year card? hahaha

alright, and on chu 2, the second day, the cousins went for a night movie - kungfu guan lan.
to me, it's niceeeee! but then... the rest of them find it alright only.
after that, ks and yy came over to our place to stayover. we continued our mahjong, dai dee and bridge session. muhahahas. loads of fun cause i won money. fair enough, i used the money to sponsor for ks and yy's sentosa entry fees :D

okay, ive used up so much time loading photos because the photos taken using the digi cam is really very big and take up alot of space. it's time to go to bed cause ive to work tomorrow.
dead beat now, after loithering around my estate because i forgot to bring my key out! sneaked into my dagu's condo and sat by the swimming pool for an hour then walked to westmall to have dinner alone. well, let's hope for a better tomorrow (:



on a brighter note, it seems like results arent coming out this friday and im able to enjoy and d&d. hopefully i'll be able to take nice photos on that day! let's look forward (:



goodnight!
