For some strange reasons it started raining dogs n cats @ 3:30am.

I hope the rain stops by dawn because it's suppose to be recycling day at my area tomorrow and if the rain goes on it will make the collection of items difficult.. :(

Updates..


Our Shopping Trip last Friday...Lainey's new dress.. Best buy of the day!

After class on Sat, it's funny how everyone was rushing off.. Of cos those happily attached are going out to spend quality time with their loved ones. Even Audrey vanished b4 i knew it for family dinner.. Hurr.. So Osteen n i decided to head to Beach Road for Claypot rice!! I remember for the past 3-4 times i wanna eat tat, they're always not ready cos they dont open till 6pm. So i always get to smell it but haven ate it for a long time. The last time was when dad specially packed for me when i came back from my trip from KL. Also the night Austin's camera and passport went missing.. That was about exactly 1 year back already...

While i'm fantasizing about it.. the horrible traffic within the carpack was simply NUTS! Even trying to get out took us abt 20 mins. *big sigh..* So so... I missed my claypot rice again lor!

Head to Lavender instead. Unexpected the small portion of curry fish we shared was quite fantastic.. a pity the rice Osteen was having and the bread i had were disastrous. Nevertheless e dinner was really quite yummy. Ordered pancake with preserved radish and egg.. My mummy used to fry eggs with preserved radish to go with porridge when my family was quite poor back then.. So e good old taste n it brought back alot of memories of my childhood.

I couldn't sleep at all on fri nite, so did e guy i was having dinner with. So jus imagine 2 pandas eating n snoozing over dinner. Hurr... Lucky Mr.NiceGuy still sends me home after dinner. So u see i offered to do powerpoint for his in return lor..

So so so.. this is why i had to lug my macbook to meet my dearies...


Met Ade n Cindy to catch soccer @ Happy Daze.. But i had to lug my laptop there to complete the powerpoint presentation.. U bet half e time my eyes were on the screen, 1 hand on the keyboard and the other holding my booze of course! Hahaa...

Cindy was camera-shy that day...

But here's the evidence of her naughty side! She's sipping baileys... Hehee...

So so.. my Sunday...

I woke up late cos i'm so deprived of sleep.. so i strolled into class at 10am instead of 9.. kept wanting to doze off. Was kinda pissed with a team-mate in my study grp.. cos powerpoint was changed prolly a hundred times. ZZzzz...

Nevertheless we chat, disturb each other and laugh to get pass the 9.5 dreaded hrs... then by 6pm, we'd be all alive n talk abt wat to eat for dinner. hahaa.....

SO SO... tonight we decided to have the proper FISH HEAD CURRY again!! Cos last nite nt shiok enough u see.. Hahaa... n i guess it sorta jus taste better having more ppl to share.. e joy jus seems to multiply! :D

It's a great great weekend... i miss elaine n junie thou! Hehee... *muacks muacks* to my babes.. they're both overseas! thou lainey will be back in 24 hrs. hahaaa.....

It has been a long day.. felt i've done more stuffs today compared to everything i've done from mon-thurs.. not literally, but feels so.

Woke up early in the morning, got my week's laundry done before i head out to meet elaine @ bishan. Managed to scan through half the stack of advertising notes while waiting for her.

We went shopping for almost the whole afternoon. Both of us got some pretty good buys.. post pictures later on. Too lazy to do so now.. Anyhoo we had a good time catching up on lost times.. b4 i head over for my discussion session b4 PR class begins. (At least i've kinda started on my first assignment tat's due next week...) PR is something very very new to me and i'm kinda freaked out by the assignments tat has jus joined the queue. Everyone else seemed to have finished their exams and its time to relax. The stress period has JUS began for me.

So tonight Jonah was the driver for the night.. together with audrey, jerm n me we had a sumptuos late dinner at Chomps.. I never knew i missed the sambal stingray until i tasted it. Marvellous! It made me think of my buddies alot too.. The last time we all gathered there to pig out was b4 june leave for UK again last year. It's been a long long while...

My dearies, i can no longer be the "Events Organizer" cos Claudia has too, became a mugger. Haha... At least till the end of this year! It's funny how I realised if I dont ask the boys out, I'd probably not see them till, maybe my birthday? or maybe even Christmas... Look how our academic commitments has robbed us of great times with our pals. How evil~!!!

Then again if we get to hang out so often we might not treasure each other's company tat much either.. So life is still fair? Probably...

It suddenly occured to me i'm actually kinda sad this week seems like it's gonna end soon. Cos after sunday, the next time i'd get to see ALL my classmates is gonna be sometime in July.. *Sobz* I actually like the diversity within my class. Thou there r several small cliques here n there, but generally everyone gets all just fine. Everyone comes from a different background and have many different life tales to tell. I enjoy e process of getting each one of them.. n i realise food, and booze for some!, are actually a great bonding tools! *smile*

It's almost 4am now, n i'm not really sleepy yet. I'm overdosed with caffeine! Vanilla latte.. peach tea.. 100 plus.. n a cuppa long black at 830pm! Shucks.. i'm gonna need even more caffeine to keep awake later.. ARGH!

Nightmares n randoms...

I had a pretty nasty nightmare last night.. N till now my heart is so pumping fast. The dream was so morbid n i actually felt drained of life energy. Freaky!

Ok change topic.. Follow ups on the cheesecakes.

By the time we sat down for dinner last nite, my cheesecakes have melted n they look quite horrible. :( so another lesson learnt. i'll throw in a dash of gelatine to hold them together next time! Nevertheless i'm thankful my dearies are never short of appreciative remarks to make me feel a tad better.


















I made my cheesecake cupcake size for easier distribution.. The base is a honey and wheat cookie base, and i wonder if u can spot the cherries tat's hidden in the center. Camera's macro focus is on e wrong point la! But i'm not free enough to keep adjusting to perfection. Haha..

After dinner we caught the movie Turista. Ok it was my idea to catch it cos e last time i caught the trailers in cinema, it seems like quite a good mystery flick. Then it turned out to be a totally gruelsome and bloody travel-related show.. man i might never wanna travel to Brazil ever.. Haha.. maybe this contributed to my horrible nightmare la!

Anyhoo it's good to have a driver cos we get to travel down to Happy Daze, enjoy a good beer before u get chauffeured home. Hahaa.. But of cos i never take things for granted. Only guys gentlemen enough would send all 3 ladies home despite he lives some dist away from us, ya? ;)

So can u send me to class on fri, sat n sunday as well? Lol..... *evil~!!*

Random

Saw this ad on Friendster and i kinda have mixed feelings abt this..

Why is it women are being put down this way? "Lonely girls"?? I has been several thousand years since women has been regarded as the weaker sex. N i thought times have already changed..

I mean if the ad is changed to "Lonely boys and men..." and "Men seeking marriage"... Would men like it?

I'm not a feminist. I jus believe fellow humans shld treat each other with due respect.

........................................................................................................................................................................

Recently i logged on my account on WLNY.. replied a few msgs and added them on MSN to keep in touch. So there was this particular guy i was chatting with for the past 2 days. Initially i had a pretty ok impression of him. Though i felt he was a little over enthusiastic abt "catching-up".. i thought he was jus being friendly. Somehow yesterday i expressed it bluntly i'm not interested in any relationship for now n am happy with being single n making new friends.. N suddenly there was a 180 degrees change of attitude. Even made some pretty sour remarks like

"aiya.. u also nt interested in me.." blah blah .. black sheep....*roll eyes*

Freaking childish and shallow!.. Is he desperate for relationship?? He got even more sour when i said i'm going to meet my frens n i'm bringing them my cheesecake.. Idiot got even more sulky n says i meet my friends n never make time to meet him... DUH?! (idiots like this shld stay single forever n not ruin any girl's life.. ever!)

I got so sick of talking to idiots, so i said "talk to someone i never meet b4, still mus 'chut pattern' to humour u.. u think i very free is it?"

U can easily guessed who's e new addition to my delete n block list. ZZzzz...

Cheez-Bakes!



Today i decided to bake some chocolate cheesecake.. Frankly the end products dont look too nice. But personal, pardon me for being shameless, i think they taste great! Hehee... more pictures will be posted after i meet my darling Audrey, Angeline n Osteen* later..

My cheesecake has no sugar added. Substituted with organic honey.. since e baking chocolates has quite an amt of sugar already. Cookie base is made with organic wheat bites, mixed with honey.. Might not be a healthier choice of food, but hey! at least i feel least guilty.. hahaa...


*To differentiate the ex-Austin and classmate-Austin, decided classmate shall adopt the screen name "Osteen" as from now on to refrain from confusion.. :P*

Mugger in the making...

I've been working really hard today and my eyes are almost popping out. Work began to pile up and after a night of procrastination last nite, i seem to have even more stuffs to do today..

Drew up my schedule for the coming couple of weeks and it seems i'm pretty packed back to back. So in order to get my work done on time and of quality standard, i need to force myself to finish the pile of 1000 pages readers. My secret is to offer to do notes for my classmates!

Wierd as it sounds but i jus cant seem to do work for myself.. I need to put myself under some sorta pressure. In this case if my notes dont get to them on time, they might get delayed in their assigments.. not as if they wont read themselves! But its my form of scaring myself to kick start my mugger instincts.. Lolz..

Ok end of gossip time. Back to books again...

Chill out @ Giraffe after class last saturday nite...

Audrey never liked taking pictures.. austin was so smart to snap a candid 1 n it looks like she's trying to act cute. Lol... (Awwdwee will kill me if she sees this! :P)

I think austin look like tweety bird here since his head looks so big n i dunno why... maybe it really is this big? Lol....

Anyhoo that was saturday.. We had a pretty sumptuous japanese dinner b4 this. Thou this 2 creatures almost died cos we couldn't get a smoking table, the dessert was still great. I cant remember why i didn't take a pic of them. Prolly gobbled them b4 i could camwhore. Hee..

Audrey left us after dinner on sunday.. so somehow austin n i had a pretty serious conversation. Geminis live up to their name. 90% of e time, this dude is all nutz n cranky. Sometimes he irritates me so much feel like slapping him. His serious side actually scares me a bit. Tad too serious.. Hur hur..

Nevertheless this 2 very extreme characters never fail to make my day. Oh why did i say extreme? Let me justify.. Audrey's freaking tall, while Aust is sooo skinny (n nt tat tall :P).. They both smoke non stop at anywhere tat is not air-conditioned. n i really meant non stop.. Who knows i might jus go back to smoking again.. *bleah*

...Rantings...

I have hell alot to rant about.

Friday was suppose to be the 5th day since i sent my macbook in for servicing. Service staff told me it'll be ready for collection in 3-5 days. When i called on Wednesday..

"I'm calling to enquire abt my macbook's servicing status.. (quoted ref number..)"

"... pls hold on while i check..."

.
.
.
.

..... line went dead. they hung up on me.
I called in again in couple of minutes..

"... There's currently no status for ur macbook."

Hello what is no status? That sounded ridiculous to me. Everything has a status.. whether it's waiting in queue to be serviced, in e midst of servicing, or it's ready for collection. Simple isn't it? Anyhoo i held my temper n requested them to get back to me as soon as there's "status"..

When i called in this noon, i got another staff with really bad etiquette. Sounded like he cant wait to hang up the phone! When he told me "Your macbook is not ready".. i was so angry already, but still remained composed to ask "how long more..". Cant believe they had the cheek to tell me "another 3-5 days". I flipped.

"Ur staff told me 3-5 days when i send it in for servicing. N today u're telling me another 3-5 days? So who's going to compensate me for the delay in my freelance work? I need to speak to your store manager..."

I never got to speaking to e manager cos they claimed he wasn't ard. Anyway i was kinda pleased when he called me back at 4pm to tell me it's now ready for collection. I even double checked i can collect it anytime from now, n he said yes! So i thought sometimes throwing a bitch fit does help u get ur consumer rights...

When i made my way down at 6:30pm, i was told "Can u wait for an hour?".. Man i exclaimed "OF COURSE NOT!" I think this is hell shitty man.. Cant believed their manager lied to me abt e status! The dumb staff even has e cheek to suggest returning me my macbook immediately.. WITHOUT SERVICING IT?? *feeling faint* how do brainless idiots get a job anyway...

Seriously i know i sound so mean.. but hello?? why e hell do i send in something for servicing then leave with it without getting e problem fixed? I had to return after dinner with my family to collect it.. Who's gonna reimburse my parking n ERP charges? I'm gonna make them pay of cos.. Figured complaining to e store itself ain't gonna help at all. Definitely writing to the HQ to get a reasonable explanation n compensation for this nonsense...

New Skin

Decided i need a new blog skin cos i was getting frustrated with the limitations of the old one. I couldn't post bigger pictures.. n now i can! with this new skin i found of blogskins.com.

It has been a pretty unproductive day for myself. I woke up feeling slightly feverish. Was so afraid it was caused by the bunny bite. Thank God i felt better after breakfast..

Spent the whole rainy afternoon doing nonsensical stuffs.. edited e blogskin, customising the blog.. nothing serious.. Felt i wasted e whole day away.

Specially went down to Ikea in the evening to get my curtains custom made. But it was indeed an unproductive day for me. Ended up Koobs did the shopping on my behalf.. while i came home with jus a pot! (Mum threw away almost all e pots at home.. sigh..) Anyway it's not tat i'm being fussy, but i just cant find any nice purple tone fabric to match my room. I wonder where's another good place to go. Perhaps Spotlight..? hmm...

Anyway we spent the entire evening talking, gossiping n bitching abt life.. Haha.. how horrible am i? Nevertheless it was a nice evening cos koobs is so funny n entertaining.. v bitchy too! :P

My nightmare is about to start. Class starts tmr.. Have lots of readings to do. 4 modules in 2 months.. i wonder if i'll survive this.. Feeling e stress already.

But know wat? I'll be heading for drinks tmr nite with the ladies after class tmr.. Lolz..

This girly purple friend is my buddy because she's always by my side, in sickness n in good health. The only friend who would not catch the virus whether i have flu or fever or cough.. She always listens n never disagrees with me. Always looking at me with her most empathtetic eyes.. Telling me "it's ok.. everything will be alright.." U dunno how much comfort i can find in her..

Somehow sleeping next to each other every nite makes us share this special bond. I'd be conscious not to kick her off e bed n make sure she's tucked nicely under e blankie.. Hee..

Sounds silly? Well perhaps.. It was love at first sight. E minute i saw her sitting in store, i knew i had to bring her home. I depended on her to tide me thru depressing nights when i'm alone. N i know this buddy will never leave me unless i do.. which i guess i never will. :-D

I'm having a hard time even trying to type on my keyboard n doing any other things. My horrible aggressive bunny gave me a big bite. A piece of my skin came off. Maybe this bunny has became a meat eater! Horrible.. now my finger is throbbing with pain and all swollen up. There are even blood clot underneath e wound. Trust me this is so painful my tears flow uncontrollably. I always thought i have high threshold of pain. Piercings and tattoos are not even 10% of this bite.. I didn't even cry when i met with a bike accident many yrs back. This bit of wound set me in tears.. *boo hoo hoo..*

It was a bad day. Drama at home again.. I'm tired of this already. Numbed. The tears has stopped. But the battle within still goes on. There was so many wierd thoughts that ran through my mind..

Met austin n koobs @ Mr. Bean's at 11. Else i'll probably be cooped up at home falling down e downward spiral myself. With these guys to crap the night away, the sky ain't tat grey after all. I'm glad their positivity and attitude for life sets me back in place. Alot of times i get lost in life. It's always my friends who make me see sense in life and lead me back to path. This 2 crazy guy never fail to crack me up yet at the same time teach me something abt life. I guess this comes with AGE! lol... anyway it was Austin's treat last wk @ clarke quay.. Koob's treat this wk.. Oh no.. dinner next wk on me! :P Haha.. but they definitely deserve a good treat from me.


Now that my maid has left, perhaps it may be a good thing after all. Hopefully more peace at home. Thou it probably will mean i'll have lots of chores to do, but i guess that's the price to pay for peace in my life.

I'm really tired now. Bed time.. may tmr be a better day..

Here's the working corner of my room. Finally neat and tidy..

These 2 days been making lots of changes to my lappy n found some really great widgets. Found Thumbscrew. Just drag the picture in and it will generate an image that is ready for web use with a nice border with drop shadow. FileMutation converts images btw various formats. This is great when i do a Grab (print screen for windows) and images r in tiff format. ImageWell allows u to edit ur web images really quickly. You can resize, rotate, crop, shape, watermark n even drop shadow and add text to ur images without opening photoshop.. I find these widgets really helpful and makes life so much easier..

This is something random. A Loewe bag i really really like.. Their Coquette collection. This cost more than 2.5K.. Sounds crazy? I thought so too. This is an eye candy. Something jus pretty to look at...

It's not the first time i got comments on me being like a tai tai.. Unemployed status + living happily means i'm living a tai tai life? Well i'm more than happy to be 1 anyway since most tai tais spend time in salons and carries themselves extremely well. But somehow my frens think i'm living too luxuriously. Frankly, am i?

Really, going to yoga and enjoying a cuppa coffee does not mean i have an expensive taste. The way i live my life, i work and play hard. Jus that for now there's nothing to work on.. Sch will start really soon n i have to buck up! Tat period of time i'll still keep up with my yoga regime to keep my mind balanced and strong. I'll still need my coffee to keep awake! N seriously.. i'm not decked in branded labels at all. I mostly shop at m)phosis, mango, zara, topshop, esprit.. not gucci, chanel or LV.. So what makes me so different from other tertiary students anyway? I really wonder...

Perhaps this is something i shld ponder on. Am i portraying myself differently from who i really am?

It's like the season for me to organise my life.

Yesterday i went to Ikea and got myself a storage bench. It's time to start cleaning up my room cos sis's wedding is in 2 months. She'll be marrying off from my room. You dont wanna imagine how much cleaning up needs to be done. But yes, the first step has been taken and it costs me 160 bucks to do that. Sheezz..

Much as i wanna upload the picture of the 1st done up corner of my room, i've lost the picture i jus uploaded cos i jus dumped everything on my desktop by accident.

Anyway today i waited a good 90 minutes just to get my phone to the service counter of Sony Ericsson. I'm not sure if the crowd meant SE products are falling apart so easily or it jus simply indicates the population is switching over to SE.. Anyhoo i jus hope my phone gets back to me in good working condition. 1 thing for sure, it's gonna be formatted.

So while my phone gets serviced, i'm using elaine's spare N7610. Her phone has been having problem with the bluetooth function for the longest time and ever since she changed to her whooping new W850i, N7610 has been left the way it was. I took a pic of my room jus now, n while uploading it i realise the prob is still there, thus i recommended she restore the phone as well. So now e phone is clean of virus and in good working order. That's e 2nd thing i've formatted.

So now back to my macbook. I've spent the entire night fixing the hard disk problem and just when i thought i finally repaired the damaged volume, i realise my hard disk space has been taken up by some invisible files. Now there are only 29GB of free space left, and i wonder what happened to chalk up more than 10GB of shit within a short span of 2 days. So while i'm backing up my files now (e files r copying into my ipod while i blog..), i need to format the entire system after that.

It's indeed spring cleaning for my life isn't it? From my physical environment to my tech gadgets to my virtual space.. I guess it's time for this blog to have a new skin too. I want something that allows me to post bigger pictures!

But 1 thing at a time. I pray the formatting process will be short n sweet.. It's 5:30am now n i'm jus unwilling to sleep without knowing my macbook is fixed!

Sigh.. Something is really wrong with my macbook n i'm not sure what's the cause of it. Part of the hard disk has crashed. But thank God i'm still able to boot up and backup my files.. Guess i have to format it soon n i'll need help with that. Hopefully i can get some friends to tide me thru this..

Hate it when my gadgets fail me. First it was my mobile phone. Reception problems, navigation button is insensitive.. Driving me nuts. Brought the phone to the servicing centre on Saturday nite, but it was closed at 8pm, despite opening hrs it till 9pm, cos of e overwhelming crowd..

Seems like i'm really down on luck isn't it? Worst thing that can happen is any of them breaking down now when i'm so broke! Argh...
