Y dim sum buffet + k-singing!
blogger's screwed. so i've waited until now then blog. -_-
anywhoos. we had a simple yet wonderful belated birthday celebration for froggie today. :D
there were 5 of us - froggie, zhi yong, yun, patrick and me. SEE! all couples leh, and i'm all alone. BOOHOOS* that's what happen when lee hong decided to "HEAVY WORK LIGHT ME"!! :x
right, we met up at raffles place at 2ish in the aftermoon, before zhi yong led the way to china square food centre. that's the place with a big big food court, ya'll know? haha, nevermind if you don't know. we didn't eat in the foodcourt of cause. we went to the 3rd floor where the dim sum buffet's at. Teahouse Superior Hi-Tea Dim Sum Buffet, is the name. the buffet starts only at 3pm, and we were early so we went to the opposite side to walk around. before that, we presented froggie with the present we prepared for her. it's from yun, patrick, lee hong and yours truly. (:
DA THIERY MUGLER INNOCENT PERFUME!!!
this is the perfume that she likes, and we've got this planned months ago. told her all the mysteries behind it, and it's so dumb lah. haha.
okay, we were seated in the restaurant by 3pm. began digging in, and boy, we sure can eat lah! and everything tasted greeeeaaat!! we had many many shares. aiya, typical "kia su" singaporean, no? hahahaha! but still, everything's worthwhile. we almost died from overeating. haha! our table was full of FOOD! i loved the century egg porridge there. and many many other yummy food! MADNESS!
woots!!
we finished at about 4ish. all of us were absofuckinglutely bloated after eating can! we only had one meal today, and that's enough because i'm still rather full right now! haha. alright, left after footing the bill, which cost $99.55 for the 5 of us. so it's 20bucks each, thereabout. great one. shall bring my family there one of these days. teehee! hmm. before leaving, narcissim kicks up in us girls in da loo! :D
were comtemplating where to go next aftermath. meanwhile, it's snapping time! (:
awww.
i take you. de 'you take me' hasn't been sent to me yet.
group shot. sigh, i'm sucha lonely soul. ):
well, we decided to go for K-singing in the end. patrick decided to go home as he don't fancy singing afterall. we walked all the way to chinatown, and to partyworld oriental.
sing sing sing sing~ :D
couple duet!
yun and i.
whee!
what is a birthday without cakes? yun and i bought froggie 2 pieces of small cakes as a small token. sang her a birthday song, and we decided to let her have a peaceful 20th birthday since she's getting old. so yay, no sabotages. muahaha! :x
we sang till 8ish before we left the place. went to shop around CK before going our separate ways home. i took 851 and got home at 10ish.dead tired. when will i stop complaining that i'm tired? seems like never. haha! i AM tired what. riight.. -_-
most probably going for a hair trim tomorrow afternoon, before going to work. will be working 6pm tomorrow evening together with li'e (:

Y happy 20th birthday, damn frog! :x
one hectic week of insane travelling and studies had gone past.
Finally.
today's friday, which means its IS day. had lessons from 8am to 12pm. met up with li'e at the bus stop, before walking to the class together. froggie was late. OH OH!! happy 20th birthday you this damn OLD FROG! croaks* WAHAHA. enjoy your day with zhi yong tonight, and tomorrow it'll be OUR DAY. hurrhurrr. dim sum buffet, but i'll feel oh-so lonely. ): couples couples~ ): will you be my date?
anyhows, i had WISP at 8am at block 5. the W01s in the same class as me were froggie, li'e, ain and rahim. wells, i find this module a pretty interesting one. talking about stereotyping and all these stuffs. we had fun listening to all the stereotypes towards different races. haha. pretty fun. :D we were released at 9ish, then the 3 of us went to the atrium to grab a bite, before climbing the god damn hill near canteen 1 up to block 53 for our human communication.
needless to say, we were late for class. we couldn't find the room man! haha. when we stepped into the class, we spotted jason. yay, another familiar face! (: oh, before i took my seat, someone called out to me and guess who's that? it's chin chuan (better known as ah chuan), my primary school friend! haha, kim, kengey and i were speaking about him just recently and today he's in the same HUMCOM class as me. will have to see him every friday from now on. haha!
HUMCOM is basically about communication between people and people. right at the start, we were given assessment, both individual and group. we formed our groups almost instantly! my team consists of li'e, froggie, jason and our new-found friend, ben. well, ben is jian wen's friend and thus jason sorta know him as well. haha! and conincidentally, he happens to be froggie's and my PI team mate! lol. yay, we had a few group discussions today, and jason's as usual, funny. yay, with him in our group, everything will be great! :D
finished school at about 12pm. head to the bookstore to purchase our notes, before li'e and i took off to Ikea, whereas froggie went off to meet her friends. we took 61 and alighted opposite queensway shopping centre. popped in to check out our long-awaited class jersey, which i've long wanted to do so since eons ago. haha! we managed to get in some shops with good tees and prices. decided to call and discuss with the rest before coming back, which the uncle told us to come back after their lunch break at 2pm.
meanwhile, li'e and i crossed over to Ikea. had a small meal at the Ikea Cafe&Restaurant. tried the swedish meatball over there, and it's yummylicious aiight! highly recommended. hahaha. we totally had our fills, before began walking around. saw so many interesting stuffs that got the both of us all hyped up. i suddenly had the urge to revamp my room all over! but all these need money. damn, maybe i'll start small. teehee. but then ah, i've a small problem. that is my platform bed, which is too big to change position. haha, nevermind. walked around till 3ish, and we both both a few items. i got myself a white wall clock which costs only 3bucks, small boxes (2for$3) and some household item for my mom.
we head back to queensway shopping centre aftermath. took a break before going into the shop and made our orders. we decided on the white&black adidas piece. $30 per piece. most probably it'll be ready by next friday. YAY! our long awaited class jersey! XD
it began to pour when we were about to leave for home. we waited for the rain to subside before going our separate ways home. i took 855 home, and yishun was still raining meows and woofs, so i was drenched second time this week. i hate it when i bring brolley yet it never rains, then it'll rain when i didn't bring one. dammit!
off to write some reflections for PI and HUMCOM. i feel hardworking nowadays. aiya, it's only the beginning. hmmm. tata!

Y thoughts bottled up.
right, the PI lecture at 4pm earlier on doesn't at all seems like a lecture at all. we were practically watching a movie in LT 68! the theatre is so cinema lah. haha, we watched the road home, starring zhang zi yi. the show's pretty interesting, tho' old. GOOD GOOD! we'll be watching a movie every thursday. but of cause, after which we have to write reports and do quiz related to the movie. duh. haha.
finished the movie at 'bout 6pm, and i went home immediately. i'm totally zonked out that i began "fishing" on the bus. tut tut!
anyhows, somehow i've many many many thoughts bottled up. everything is so different now. this isn't what i want. not at all. i've really no one else to rely on anymore. suddenly, everyone's so far away from me. at this point of time, i really ought to survive alone. SIGHS*
froggie's turning 20 tomorrow. that old frog~! :x
i am so sleepy, yet i have work to do. life's a bore.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Y looooooooong break sux0r.
tsk! i'm typin' my blog entry at the study area near block 56 right now. just had my lunch at SIM canteen with froggie earlier on. we're having sucha loooooooooooooooooong break now. 5 hours long can. damn lame. i'd rather spend this time sleeping at home! but the lecture later on at 4pm is rather important, so yay. :/
yesterday i skipped the 3 hours pf MWS tutorials and practicals in the morning, and head to SSDC to take my FTT at 11.45am. the test was easier than i expected, and i finished it within 15minutes. i dared not look at my results at the end of it, but of cause i can't escape that. teeheehee! i passed!!!! first attempt and i passed. oh yes! went to collect some private instructors' contact numbers, before i left to take 852 to school. probably gonna either wait for my brother or ah dong before signing up for driving lessons soon. i'm gonna take private, that is. (:
didn't want to go to school actually, 'cause i'll be having only 1hour of lessons left. but according to froggie, she told me that there's the MWS tutorial assigned in the morning is to be submitted by the end of the day. thus, i went to school and met her (and yun&xinyi) at the atrium. had my light lunch before i started on my tutorial. at 2pm, froggie and i left for QLA lecture. it's so saddening to see all your classmates at the opposite classroom whereby you're at another room. the familiar faces are so near yet so far. somehow, i missed having lessons together with my classmates. missed those times when the elevator was occupied by WO1 and just W01. missed the crazy loud voice of jason's. ah! ohwells, hopefully there's the meet-the-mentor session later on, so we'll all be able to meet once more. normally i won't be enthu in going for the meet-the-mentor session, but this semester i am. :x
our QLA lecture ended at 2ish close to 3, and froggie and i head to the admin office to submit the MWS tutorial into the pigeon hole, before we left to take 61 to froggie's place for her to leave her laptop at home. took 106 to work aftermath and yun board the same bus at clementi. reached conrad at about 5pm. mery texted and told me to change to VIP. after changing and eating, we went to the ballroom to report.
GWAD! we just saw some ah meng wannabe walked past us. he had the exact hairstyle ah meng has in the show! but he's ugly. -_-M
right, i began settling the VIP tables with ge jing. it's my first time working VIP with her. i've only worked with xia yun, li'e and lu lu before. haha. alright, once we were done with everything, we waited for the door to open at 7ish. dinner went on pretty smoothly with many stopages because of all the rubbish going on stage.
initially, i didn't like the thought of working with ge jing, but its not that bad afterall lah. during operation, she always doesn't allow me to carry in any oval trays even though i insisted to. but we worked well together lah. just a tad too boring, because we have nothing much to talk about. i prefer working with lulu because we have endless things to talk about! lol.
dinner ended at 10ish. ge jing settle the trolley to send upstairs, whereas i stayed behind to clear. i finished clearing way before 11pm, then we were asked to gather by ramesh. he assigned jobs to everyone. lulu and i were to lay tablecloths and stuffs. by 12mn, first batch stuffs went off. ramesh wanted us to OT for him, but we were too tired plus there's school the next morning. so yay, we were signed out at 12mn. went to change before taking 12.30am transport home. slept at 2am.
this morning i woke up feeling uber sleepy. something happened on the way school which made me wanna curse and swear like nobody's business. argh! nevermind. had PI tutorial and practicals this morning at 9am. but because of the wet weather and heavy traffic, i reached class only at 9.35am! anyway, we had our first group discussion today. we don't know anyone in the class lah, so teacher just anyhow grouped us. froggie and i were with lee hong's classmate, shu mei, and 2 other guys. that 2 guys not bad lah. one is jae-lookalike. hahahahahaha! :x we were all too quiet, so we didn't manage to finish discussing by the end of the lessons. the guys volunteered to bring home to complete the rest and we'll present next week. lol.
had lunch after that, and here i am. i'm off to watch shows. WAHAHA. toodles~
before that, here's another good read that we found recently. GAY BLOG! uber interesting. click here!

Y school life, no life.
second day of school, and i'm still feeling very tired. lessons from 9am till 4pm today, and it's a day without everyone else except for froggie. just the two of us xiang yi wei ming. 'cept QLA we'll have martin with us, but today he missed the first lessons already. guess he overslept again. haha.
we were uber late for first class today. i went out late, thus reached late then together we were late. reached the classroom at half hour past 9am. WAHAHA! had 2hours QLA lecture today, and somehow i find our lecturer, mr lee, really nice. he gave me the feeling of my father! hahaha. a warm feeling, that is. so far, we find him really good at conducting lectures because he really elaborates every points very clearly. QLA is basically about the management and quantitative analysis of logistics operations of manufacturing and service industries. however, froggie and i think we're in a class of "weirdos". hmm, inside joke. :x
after lecture, we had our lunch in canteen 2. yay, missed the pasta there so much so we decided to eat there today. at about 11ish, i met up with buggy to exchange our parcels - our belated birthday gifts. imagine how long ago was our birthday, his in march and mine in january! haha! wells, both benedict and him got me a pretty useful nike passport wallet, whereas kengey, ah dong and i got him a BROWN tee. YES, die die also must get him something the colour of a cockroach. tsk! :x
froggie and i went into an empty classroom at block 31 to slack. yun joined us during her break, and we all did our own stuffs. i was watching some dramas on my laptop. LOL! at 1pm, froggie and i left for our 3 hours ECAD practicals and tutorials. after soooooooooo many semesters had past, i've finally managed to install the VB.Net without any errors occuring! haha. while installing that today, i was praying so hard that no error messages will pop up or anything. and also, because i'm a pirate so i sorta had insufficient space in my C drive to install the software, so i gotta back up my stuffs in my thumbdrive before i finally managed to install the whole thing. phew~ haha.
after all the installations, we began doing the first tutorial. heh heh, tho this teacher looks and sounds boring, but he's good. very detailed in teaching us. we like~ :x after completing the tutorial at 3ish, we were released. went to the support centre to look for yun before we left for home at about 4pm. long journey home again. zzz.
anyhows, tomorrow is a long long day for me. FTT in the morning (which i've to skip morning classes for it), lessons in the afternoon and work at night. ain't supposed to work tomorrow, but today mery texted and asked me if i can work plus get more people for her. thus, i managed to get froggie and yun to work with me tomorrow at 6pm. money money~ but there's a price to pay - long day. shall turn in early tonight then. OH OH, i hope i'll pass my FTT aiight. (:
toodles.

Y everyday is not sunday.
i am so so so tired. first day of school has been such a dreadful one, and it has been a really long day man. i slept for less than 4 hours and woke up at 6.45am in the morning to get ready for school. i was slightly late in meeting froggie at the bus stop, thus both of us were late for our first lesson at 9am. we reached the classroom at about 9.15am. we had MBA practicals and our tutor is our all-time favourite teacher, mr anand. haha! he rocks lah. for the first day, he didn't take attendance, then went through with us some basics and we were released 20minutes later. how cool is that? OH. froggie and i were the only W01s with this timetable. we saw none of our classmates in the class with us. there were many W02s instead, which we hated so. ohwells.
since we were released early, we had our early lunch in canteen 3 aftermath. met up with lee hong outside e-garage and she joined us for lunch too. after which, we walked to NP COOP to shop around, before going to the atrium to print our timetables and chilled. li'e joined us at 11ish, then followed by yun. don't mind me saying, but i felt that the atmosphere there was really weird. it was not that easy afterall. SIGHS*
went for our lectures at 12pm after that. for all the lectures, we were back together with the rest of our classmates. teehee. i tallied my time table with the guys further, and only for QLA we've martin in the same class as froggie and me. the rest are taking IMGT instead. in other words, we'll only see the rest on monday and probably thursday.
anyhows, we had MBA and MWS lecture in the same room for 2 hours, which most of us did not pay attention at all. too busy catching up i guess. and at 2pm, we had a short break. li'e and i sat outside our next lecture classroom (which is still the same room as the previous lectures), and waited.after awhile, our class guys came and join us. then jason began showing us his cards magic stunts which he learnt and practiced over the holidays. before the holidays, his skills weren't that good and cards were falling off when he shuffled, but today, he's sucha a pro. all the WAH, WHOA, WOW came out. i'm totally impressed and amazed by his tricks and gimmicks here's a short video i took of jason. not very clear tho'. haha.

Y au revoir to my 2months holidays. ):
welcome home, li'e. (:
before going to the airport to fetch li'e, i went to northpoint to buy the bag i've my eyes on the previous time. altho it's not as nice as the one i saw in JB last christmas, but this one still can do lah. haha. $39.90. =D
i was running late to catch li'e's plane, thus i took a cab to the airport, terminal 1. the plane has already touched down when i arrived. i waited for a short while and she's out. lol, she didn't change much this time round. and her lugguges were so damn heavy man.
we took a train back to tampines to her place. i sat on the sofa and waited for li'e to bath and get changed. while waiting, her mom began chatting up with me. her mom's cute lah. alright, li'e and i left her place at about 6ish and we walked to tampines mall for our dinner. we were totally famished.
we ate in LJS, and we had a chat and some catching up. things are gonna be so different from now on. we won't be in the same class for most lessons this semester, except for all the lectures and PI. that happens when we've got different electives.
shopped around TM and CS aftermath, in search of presents! hahaha. walked around aimlessly till about 8ish, before i took 969 back home whereas li'e walked home to unpack and rest. guess she's pretty tired after a long flight plus the jet lag she's suffering now. awww.
anyhows, school's starting tomorrow. so long and goodbye, farewell and au revoir to my 2months holiday. i am so so so sad can. no more late nights watching dramas (tho i've got a new drama, "tou tou ai shang ni", to watch now) and no more sleeping like there's no government. i'm a 3rd year student now, and have to face the piles and piles of assignments, like soon? attending lectures, doing tuturials and all these shats are coming back. hectic life is awaiting us starting tomorrow. gotta juggle with school and work again. groans*
right, off to rot. toodles!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Y i survived!
this splitting headache is killin' me. argh! zZz.
anyhows. i survived well alone at work today. =D met up with lu hua at bugis at 3ish, as he needed me to company him to check out thumbdrives over at sim lim square. you know what? i seriously think sometimes when i'm buying something, i don't usually walk more to find another one cheaper or nicer. i'd say that because the other time when i went with my parents to buy my thumbdrive, i bought one really chop-chop at the second shop i went. and TODAY, i walked into more than 10 shops with lu hua to find a Sony thumbdrive. guess what? i saw the exact same thumbdrive i bought at the price of $49!! 6bucks cheaper leh. my 1 hour pay. -_- okay nevermind. and when we finally found the sony one, it's 5bucks more than my one but it's MUCH MUCH MUCH more nicer can. argh! i've learnt my lesson now. gonna walk and look for more choices in future if i wanna buy something.
we've still got some time to spare, thus we went to eat laksa and shopped around before taking 960 to work. talked alot with lu hua today. and i just read the letter he wrote to her. so sweet lah! hopefully they'll be fine soon. (: haha, i thought i'll be so lonely without my girls working with me today, but it's still ain't that bad afterall, 'cause i've people like lu hua, xia yun, lulu, aunty jamie and samantha to keep me company. lol. :x didn't ate anything in the canteen today. went to the ballroom to report at 6pm aftermath. today steve calls all the shots man. haha! he did briefing and assigned tables to us, with ramesh's assistance at the side.
there were many potential VIP servers today. lu lu and i heaved a sigh of relief when steve chose tini and miza as VIP servers. we didn't want to be VIP servers because both tables weren't set at all! plus it's 12pax and 14pax today. i felt safe when i was put to partner tini's brother at south room. but i was so so so wrong. ramesh reshuffled most staffs, and in the end, ramesh put lu lu and i to be VIP servers. how unlucky can we get? -_-
but wells, it wasn't that bad lah. i enjoyed working with lulu being VIP, but not normal tables, mind you. :x we began settling the tables, fold napkins before we went to change into our orange cheong sum. door opens at 7ish, and dinner began. it was very smooth for us throughout, except that sam fired the courses out UBER FAST! it was hard for lulu and i to even catch our breath. haha! our guests were all cantonese speaking, and are really nice people. even the couple too. (: lulu seemed amazed that i'm able to communicate in cantonese. haha, why?
oh, de xiang dropped by conrad today. he's actually wilson's goodfriend. i've heard of him many times in the past, but we had never met. the other day, he found and added me on friendster. and because i remembered he's wilson's friend, so i didn't mind being friends with him. he's a funny guy lah. when he sms-ed me today, he knew i was working so he sorta dropped by. when i saw him, he was at the bar talking to wilson. we didn't talked because wilson was there lah. it's weird, you see. after awhile then i received de xiang's sms telling me he saw me. -_-" lol. ohwells, this kinda made me think of wilson's that bunch of sistas whom i tagged along with him in the past a few times to hang out with them. they're really nice people, but too bad it's hard for me to see them again. i especially like emma and joevi. i don't know why. :/
right, back on track. with the courses fired out so damn fast, the dinner managed to end by 10ish. ramesh gathered everyone at the back right after dinner, and he sent half of the staffs back home. only 15 of us stayed back. i stayed back of cause. steve was the turnover in charge. he's super nice lahhhhhh. haha! asked me clear flowers YET don't have to send down. clear linen with tini AND helped us out. there's hell lots of linen to clear lah. i was perspiring like nobody's business. after clearing the linen, he got me to change signage then walked around down chair covers for the theatre style. and then, that's it.
when i went back to the office, the guys and sam were spring cleaning the entire office lah. people were sweeping and mopping the floor man. so funny! and then, all of us were signed out at 1am. and i got changed before taking the 1.30am transport home.
tsktsk. today... i began trying out my new phone's camera. not that bad lah. =D
heh. and tomorrow since i won't be working and i've nothing else to do, i decided to head to the airport to fetch li'e. yay, she's coming back from the states. school's reopening on monday, remember? and yay, i've decided to let bygones be bygones and welcome her back home. (:
and now, i'm going to bed. dead beat. o.OzZz nights people~

Y ah, memories..
it's another of my sleepless night again. i've been tossing and turning on my bed since 2am, and yet i failed to fall asleep. it's been like this for weeks already. look at the time now it's 5.03am! and i've got work
at times, i really question my ability to be invulnerable. my drastic moodswings got from bad to worse and i get emo-affected real easily nowadays. but still, i'm pretty much in control, i guess? sighs*
certain things are running through my mind. i was reading my diary (yes, i do keep one but i don't write in it that often.), and memories came flashing back. i can feel the sweetness i had in my heart when i first notice him at work, and how we began talking, hanging out and ended up together. and of cause the aches i feel in my heart each time we quarrelled. never did i know the one common fight will result to the way we are today. ohwells..
i flipped to the earlier entries. i laughed to myself when i read about how i described my heart flutters when i saw jae performing on stage during one of his band concerts at the esplanade. i'll never forget how he looked like holding on to his saxophone, playing that solo part. so kenny g, i would say. and so charming.
there were many others silly thangs. ah, memories..
i know very well that he has moved on, no matter that news is real or just some things he made up. the fact is very clear, and that he's really moving on well. maybe one day i'll have the courage to just speak to him like a friend. or maybe not. i don't know. we'll never know. whatever it is, i will feel happy the way i felt for jae if he's happy. really.
and no, don't worry. i'm not gonna let all these emoshits falter my determination to give up and move on.

Y New Phone!
TEEHEEHEE! TEEHEEHEE!
i bought my new phone! Motorola V3 Razor HOT PINK!
first hand phone costs $330, and i traded my K700i at $160, thus i paid $170 for the phone. the functions ain't that bad la. TEEHEEHEE!
lovelovelove*
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Y V3 or V3i ?
won't be working tonight and tomorrow night as the events has been cancelled. ohwells, my bookings for this 2 days are tentative anyway, so yay. (: went to yun's grandma's wake at bukit batok this afternoon together with froggie, lee hong and xin yi. i've never attended a wake before and today i was enlightened with many custom beliefs of attending-a-wake. it's better to know than to offend the family members. hmm.
ANYHOWS.
which phone model should i get? Motorola v3 Razor or Motorola V3i Razor? i'm dying to get the hot pink version, but it's only available for the V3 model. and then hoh, i prefer the specifications of V3i leh. better camera and larger memory spare. v3 costs about 300ish and v3i costs about 500ish. huge difference leh. however, my current phone model (SE K700i) still worth 100ish lah, i think. so how? HOW HOW HOW? :/
V3 HOT PINK?
or V3i non pink?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Y SIA PPS Club
damn. i've been turning late almost every nights nowadays. school's starting soon, and i gotta adjust my bio clock back to normal, like soon? what to do? i just got home from work, and i'm dying to watch a couple of episodes of er nan zai ji dian. AH NAN IS SO CUTEEEEEE! gwad, he's uber swoon-inducing aiight. xD
right, worked at 5pm today with froggie. because something happens in yun's family recently, so she gotta cancel all her bookings this week. take care, nnp! (: met up wit froggie and marhaini then we got changed and had our dinner in the canteen together, before reporting upstairs. jovin stopped us and did something which got dalland, himself and us laughing non-stop. went to the ballroom and steven got us to do some miscelleneous stuffs, before we had our briefing by him at about 5ish close to 6.
as mentioned, it's some SIA PPS Club function tonight again. it's the 3rd one since march already. fusion mix dinner again. we were assigned to work in a 5 people to 4 tables basis today. my team consists of froggie (YES! we're in the same team again!), gao tao, tini's bro and a newcomer malay boy. after the briefing and staffing, we went to serve cocktail. damn funny. froggie and i tends to stick to each other and attempted to chit-chat whenever we had the chance. each time steve spotted us, he'll pull us apart. haha, but he never scolded us. :x
after cocktail, dinner began. for my team, it was a mess. froggie and i think that the guys really cannot make it! the new guy totally don't know what to do! what's worst was that, he never asked what he's supposed to do at all and stood at one side to stare! we were so damn frustrated can. then the 3 guys took damn long to pick up every courses. froggie and i had to do all the serving all by ourselves. the beverages too. every SIA functions will have wines to take care of. without fail. thus, it's pretty tedious at times. our side station was jammed all the time, for god knows why. ended up ramesh pitied us and came and helped us a lil at times too. haha.
actually, during briefing, i found tonight's event was much easier and straightforward than the previous 2 we had before, but because of the lousy team mates i've got, our group almost screwed up everything. but still, everything's fine afterall. (: after all the 4 courses were served, we were gathered outside then the guys were asked to do other stuffs, whereas all the girls standby their stations. no wonder the guys weren't allowed in the ballroom! because they had a talk by some doctor about plastic surgery. they had some power point presentation with pictures of all the female private parts! froggie and i were chit-chatting at one side, and at the same time watched the screen. it was really gross. eurgh. :x
after the talk, the guests left and we began turning over. when everything's almost done, steven and ramesh got froggie and i to went round the entire place (basement 1 and level 2) to count the number of two-toned maroon and cream cloths, black/white setting cloth, gold runners and gold overlays. clean and soiled ones all must count. marhaini helped us too. everyone were signed out at 12am except the 3 of us who were busy counting every pieces of cloth in salon5 till 12.30am then we were let off. haha! damn funny can. :x
took our time to change, ate our supper before taking the 1.30am transport home. side note, i think my appetite at night is scary...
ohwells. will be working alone at 5.30pm tomorrow. because of that, i gotta reject kengey to go zouk with johnson&gang tomorrow night. wells, tomorrow gonna be some small event, and if i'm not wrong i'll be the only girl working. sad. i'll be alone at work from tomorrow till saturday.. ohwells. ):
sometimes i just hope he'll stop bragging. especially in front of me. i've no feelings towards this anymore. numbed. (:

Y what's done and what's not.
school's resuming on next monday onwards, and whoa, i'm gonna be a year 3 student! time really flies. it felt like yesterday when i just gotten my O levels results and was troubling about which school to go and what faculty to take, considering the fact my results can't bring me to my dream course - biz admin at NYP. and now, i'm taking mobile computing in NP for the 3rd year already! it's so hard to believe. ha. ha.
i think it's pretty safe for me to say that this holiday is my last holiday, because there's a high possibility that i'll be having my attachment on the next holiday in about august. what have i said to do this holiday, and what have i done and not done so far? let's see.
i've said to sign up for driving lessons, and i've started the course. i passed my BTT, and will be taking FTT on next wednesday. hopefully it'll be smooth throughout, and i'll get my license in no time. 'tho i don't own a car yet.
i've said to watch all the shows/movies i can find this holiday, and i've indeed done so, watching them till the late nights. i've said to read as many comics/books as i can this holiday, and yes, i did managed read quite a number of them, considering that i've spent most of my time watching shows instead. haha. oh, and mahjong! got to play twice this holiday, but it's still not enough. ):
what else?
i promised to clean up every areas of my room, and yes i've done so and my room's really very neat now. haha! i planned a malaysia shopping trip, and i went once with yun on one weekend. it was helluva fun trip with just the 2 of us hanging out in city square. =D i had always wanted to find time to meet up with old friends, and 'tho i didn't manage to meet all of them but i still got to catch up with people like tiffy and kimmy. i had wanted more, but time just doesn't allowed us to. :/
as for what i failed to do. i said to chiong work and earn loads of moolahs, but because of the annual qing ming jie which falls in april, so hotel doesn't have much business and thus i hasn't got that much bookings. in other words, i haven't earned enough! had said to try working in ritz carlton, but because of a booking management i hated there, i'm having second thoughts now. probably gonna tahan conrad for a few months more till my attachment then say.
wanted to plan a sentosa trip to try out the luge, but because of the rainy days and the i-feel-like-saving-money thoughts of mine, i hadn't got to go afterall. and the chilli crab late night supper outing wasn't carried out at all.
and etc.
sighs. this holiday may seems short, but many things has happened in this short period of time. many small small things. the major ones are the betrayal thing we found out. i admit i was furiously mad at that time. but after cooling down for a couple of weeks, there's the angel and devil sides in my head. and thus, i had a talk with the person and today, we're okay already. others may think i'm a two-faced bitch, but i'm not gonna be bothered by what the rest think of me as. like what kengey said to me, and i'll keep that in mind, that i'll do whatever my heart feel is right. and yay, i'd rather have one more friend than another enemy. in life, people makes mistakes. we do make them too, so yay, life's beautiful too.
the other major one, at least to me, was the most recent one. that is a news that came to me as a shocking one. it was indeed an extraordinary hurt and i almost couldn't take it. but still, i'd rather believe it even tho' many has doubts about it. and conincidentally, tomorrow it'll be 6 months 8 days and 12hours since he went away. remember brian mcknight's song "6, 8 ,12"? that's the meaning. however, i chose to take it all in and move on from here. no matter what, i can still survive alone without everyone else, no?
what didn't kill me, made me stronger. (:
right, i've no idea why but i suddenly had to blog all these. it was just..something la. aiyah, nothing lah. :x i'm off to doris's later on. will be working 5pm tomorrow. SIA function again. ohwells.
on a lighter note, here's another good read. they have really amusing chatlogs of men preying on girls on MIRC asking for their needs satisfaction. gross. check that out here!
hmm. sometimes i wonder did the captain of the Titanic cry when it sinks.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Y retail therapy rocks.
it has been a wet monday afternoon, and i'm still feeling rather unwell. groans*
went jurong point with mommy dearest for a shopping spree. it's been some time since i went shopping with her, and it has been great today!
retail therapy rocks. =D
had our lunch at the halal foodcourt in basement one, banquet. that's the foodcourt we once frequent during year 1. amirah babe, remember? alright, mom and i shopped from B1 right to the top floor. woohoo, bought quite a number of stuffs today. i've gotten 2 pairs of heels, a pair of flats, some lingerie, missha items and some other yummy stuffs. haha! rested our feet at the foodcourt having some dessert, before taking the train home.
splendid trip. muahaha! oh, have i mentioned that i purchased a novel online the other day? yay, i bought a brand new memoirs of geisha novel at the price of $9! from the comments other bidders left, said that the books they selling are really brand new. today the seller replied my mail and if i'm not wrong, i'll be receiving the book by post pretty soon! =D
right, i'm off to continue the latest show i'm catching, starring my all-time favourite MAN, mike he! hurhur. :x swoons* ER NAN ZAI JI DIAN~! yoyoyo.
SHUAI DAI LE LA~!!!!
yay. i've decided to let go. whether that news is true or not, i'll choose to think it's true.

Y beautifully broken..
i've been lying in bed the whole day. dang.
it seems like yesterday that my world fell from the sky
it seems like yesterday i didn't know how hard i could cry
it feels like tomorrow i may not get by
but i will try
i will try
wipe the tears from my eyes
i'm beautifully broken..
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Y hmm
i still think jae's the best guy i've ever met.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Y extraordinary hurt you caused me.
just finished talking on the phone with lu hua, and recently, we had our fair share of troubles. ohwells, i just hope we'll be able to get through this. for him, it's not easy for two person to come together, so i hope he'll untie the knots in his heart and have a nice talk with her. as for me, i was telling that this latest hurt is something so extraordinary to me that i'm not shedding a tear for it at all. i don't know, but maybe because it didn't killed me afterall. okay nevermind. i'm more shocked than upset about it actually, so yay, i'm okay. i hope. (:
anyway, yun and i worked at 6pm today. on my way to work, it was raining meows and woofs. RAIN ah, go away can? looks over at kengey* right, had our dinner with a bunch of our collegues in the canteen before reporting to the ballroom at 6pm. dalland gave the briefing and did the staffing. dammit, recently we just find the briefing getting more and and more lame. especially those conducted by dalland. alright, he's an ass anyway. however, he was rather okay to us today, so forget it.
i was put to partner hans at north room. 9course wedding dinner.went to serve cocktail aftermath. i don't know why but today i can't bring myself to stay at the bar counter more than 1minute. i'll wait till there's drinks on the counter, take it and leave. i'll always try not to stay around, ask for drinks, and wait for it. because, he's always there telling people about his latest updates and i can't bear to hear another word of it anymore. i don't get it. what's so proud about that? seriously, i don't think that's something to be proud of loh. it's not because i was his ex-girlfriend, but the rest thought so too. but ohwells, it's his life now. as long as he's happy and contented, then let it be. somehow, i'm thankful that mr patient was so supportive and nice to me all this while, but still.... :/
anyhows. i've a thought today. somehow, i'm getting tired of this line. sometimes i wish to change a different kind of job, but at the same time, where can i find a job as flexible as banquet line? as in, we can choose when to work and when not to. this is so far the most suitable job for students like us. i was talking to stephenie about how sick i am of this job, and yet don't want to change. so maybe i'll just bear with this line till end of the next semester when i'll be having my attachment, then see about it. i can't wait to grow up!
right, door opens at 8ish and dinner began. it was a slow dinner, and second march-in was at 9ish close to 10pm. hans was a pretty nice partner. v.coorperative. (: i've had lu hua helping me to portion out at times too. other than that, everything went well, 'cept that the last few courses were fired out like rushing for train. damn fast. and by 11ish, dinner ended and we cleared everything and refreshed till 12am when sam released most of us home. yun and i didn't stayed because we needa claim the 1hour pay ramesh owed us last week. thus, we were released at 12mn, but was signed off at 1am instead.
went to change, and we had 1 and 1/2 hour before transport comes so we went to 7-11 to eat instead. bought cup noodle and junks to eat before strolling back to the hotel to join the OT staffs at the canteen, before taking the 1.30am transport home. (:
supposed to work tomorrow at 6pm, but because i wasn't in the best of moods plus i'm not feeling that well, so i got marhaini to replace me. she's really such a dahling, always so nice to me. so yay, will be staying home to rest and watch shows tomorrow. yay! i've got mike he's another show, express boy today! woohoo! and some other movies as well. great entertainment for the time being. (:
goodnights. [=

Y (>_<)!
everything in the wrong place at the wrong time.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Y its been so long..
been feeling really uncomfortable in the throat the whole day, and now i'm feeling better after drinking a glass of honey water. best remedy to soothe the throat. i think i'm falling sick soon. felt really heat up all over.
i gave MSL annual sports meet a miss today, as i'm working at 6pm. nnp had said to meet earlier today at 4.30pm, and i had wanted to check some things out at marina square thus i went out much earlier. and when i'm done with what i wanna check, nnp then changed to meet at 5pm instead. HAIS, i walked around aimlessly like an idiot and then finally settled down at the bus stop 45minutes before 5pm to wait for nnp.
nnp and froggie reached at about 10minutes past 5pm. froggie went to ritz carlton whereas nnp and i went to conrad. we changed into GP uniforms, had our dinner before reporting to the ballroom. yay, we're helping GP tonight again. initially, when mery asked if we wanted to work for GP, i hesistated because of the previous experience. but in the end i agreed to it, because there's hardly any functions this month so we ain't earning enough and also because lu hua was working as well. but i think it's still a mistake afterall. read on.
we reported to the assitant manager, eileen, and she told us to do some shits. at times i find that the GP staffs are really making full use of the banquet staffs, and let their own staffs do easier jobs. ARGH. oh, the banquet staffs who worked today were xia yun, lu hua, ge jing, nnp and i. right, we had a very messy and brief meeting by eileen aftermath. THEY WERE SO DAMN NOT ORGANISED! gave instructions that are so unclear somemore. after that, we went to serve cocktail, which obviously most guests ain't drinking lah. stewpig.
and then, dinner began at about 8ish. oh, it was some 80th year old birthday celebration. small private dinner lah. 4 courses in total, all individual portion. we have to serve together, and at times check drinks only. i hate this staff, yoke yan! why can't she go and take the drinks guest ordered from her herself when she can jolly well go straight to the bar and get, but turn and ask me to take for her, which i gotta head to the backlane AND THEN to the bar to get. stupid!
anyway, because of the previous time when they ate at the backlane and got us to clear, this time round we are smarter. we will eat the food at the backlane whenever we have the chance. and today i managed to eat ALOT! tsktsktsk. by the end of the dinner, i was feeling so bloated already lah. haha! and then the host actually gave ANGPAUS to all the staffs! nnp and i missed that! we were at the backlane clearing stuffs. by the time we were out after luhua came getting us, the host already stop distributing angpaus. how sad. ): BUT, we forced luhua to divide his share with us! hahahaha. there was only 6bucks in it, so each of us get 2bucks from him. HAHAHA.
right, helped to clear abit and we were signed off at 11.30pm. went to change and eat before taking the 12.30am transport home. sigh, tonight and tomorrow i've no more shows to watch. i finished watching zhen ming tian nu, and nnp haven't burn the other shows for me. boring.
sigh, in the end, i still chose to keep everything in my heart. all i know is that, i feel upset, disappointed and taken for granted. sighs. why? ): nevermind, i still can survive alone!
i miss you la~ ):
if only you're still by my side to be my energy booster and pillar of support. if only.
it's been so long.. T_T~

Y today i'm very sad.
today i'm very sad. sulks*
because dim sum buffet was cancelled. because i didn't manage to buy the bag of my dreams (HAHA!). because my body frame is way too small to fit into a pretty corset top. ): and also, because it's been exactly half a year that we're apart today, and thus i missed him again. ):
BUT,
i'm still a happy girl at the end of the day, because kengey and kimmy "cheered me up"! haha.
since the dim sum buffet makansutra with nnp, froggie and lee hong was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances, i decided to ask kengey if she's free to go out or something. initially kimmy and i had wanted to find people to play mahjong with us, but we were short of one "leg", thus we decided on shopping instead.
waited for kengey to fetch her granny home from hospital, before we met up at 4ish to hit town together. i was practically rotting while waiting for kengey's call, thus i decided to dig out my dcam to play around. tskkkkkkk! :x girls will be girls.
my get up for today!
*blink blink*
right, the 3 of us can't really decide where to shop first or where to eat at. in the end, we shopped in takashimaya checking out the levi's store renovation sales zhe bin mentioned in his blog. it's all craps, because the pants/tops on sale are those people would hardly want it. boo. roamed around kinokuniya aftermath, before having our dinner at pastamania at scotts road. darn crappy! we were talking about shitting over dinner. HAHAHA!
after dinner, we walked over to isetan to shop around to look for the bag that i want. but all the designs still can't compare with the one i saw in malaysia last christmas. ): we went to shop at far east plaza after that. we shopped till the shops closes! haha. saw many bags, but it's either got-the-color-but-not-the-design-i-want or got-the-design-but-not-the-colour! i'm so sad can! right, then we went shops after shops trying different tops. kengey wanna buy a corset top, then i tried one too. argh! i got the smallest size already and still it's loose! must be my nehneh small or body frame small. HAHAHA! sad. i tried on some tufted front top, and i bought one from honey&bee at $39.90. there's so many colours to choose from lah. i liked the black, white and purple ones. white and black are nice but a lil too formal, so i got the purple one. slightly on the funky side. teehee! shopped around and i bought a pair of lady boxers too. darn cute. wahaha.
my loots for today! not much, but enough to make me a happy girl today. hurr. XD
went to have supper at LJS after that. we were talking about secondary school, till the staffs came shoo-ing us off as they wanna close shop already. after that, we went to take the train home. we had loads of fun talking and shopping today, don't we? =D we had planned to catch a movie together tomorrow, but because something crops up we gotta cancel it. it's okay, because we can always still go for it. (:
tomorrow's my last off day, and i'll be back to work on thursday. damn, i need more moolahs! :/
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Y online shopping.
teehee! online shopping is cool. found some really great sites, and i shall start feasting my eyes with all the goodies! =D
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Y it's been 6 months.
it's been exactly half a year since you left me, and i still missed you so. the feelings are still the same, unchanged. SIGHS*
giving up indeed needs more courage than holding on.

dim sum buffet anyone? i wonder if it's still on tomorrow. hmm.

Y 512MB thumbdrive!
went sim lim square today, and like finally, i bought my thumbdrive! i've said i wanted it since i was in year 1, and now i'm approaching year 3 then i get it. lol, it'll be useful for my FYP in future. hmm. and i know it's no longer that common people uses thumbdrive, but a portable HDD instead. still, i want one because it's small and easy to use! i want a portable HDD someday too. $_$~
instead of getting one with 256MB memory, i decided to spend the 20ish bucks more to get a bigger space one. 512MB for $55.
decided to get new bundle of CD-R too, since i'm already there. 50pcs at the price of $16. not bad uh? XD
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Y a year.
'tho i'm uber tired and sleepy right now, but because of my wet hair, i decided to update my blog before my hair is dry. zzz.
friday o7/o4 :
after enrolling for my IS modules, i got ready and went to take 852 to bukit batok to meet froggie and lee hong for our long awaited curry fish head lunch. hot curry soup, tender fish meat, spicy kang kong, yummy spare ribs and not forgetting the hot steaming rice. we had a real fulfilling lunch man! XD and after lunch, froggie went home to change whereas i accompanied lee hong into westmall to walk around, while waiting for froggie to be ready.
at about 3ish, lee hong went home and i took 106, together with froggie, to work. nnp board the same bus at clementi, and we went to work together. on our way to work, we witnessed an accident. while the bus was at a junction somewhere at holland, this truck opposite the junction made a right turn. while doing so, the truck tilt, skid and *BOM!* hit the ground to the left. WE WERE LOOKING AT THE WHOLE PROCESS!! damn scary. before the traffic lights turn green for the bus to move, we saw the driver crawling outta his seat, and he got up with his shirt tore and looked into the car. that made us assumed there's one more passenger in it! omg, our bus left shortly after, and until now i still can't forget the whole scene. i wonder how's the casualties. :/
reached conrad at 4.4opm, and we quickly got changed before reporting to mery at 5pm. she then told us to go canteen and rot till 5.30pm before coming up. we weren't the only ones, so i guess ballroom is almost fully set-up. when we went into the ballroom at 5.30pm, the whole room was already done up. it was the NAFA 68th founders' night. some sort of dinner and dance. ramesh did the briefing, and i was assigned to be VIP with lulu.
it's some really simple 8course chinese dinner. for VIP, it's individual portioning for most courses, thus it's pretty straightforward. zhi ling was in-charge of the backlane, thus he's assigned to be like a "runner" for us. for the entire night, he practically carried in all our oval trays. working with lulu was okay nowadays, because we often chit-chat and tried to eat snake once in awhile. haha!
after all the courses were done, we started clearing whatever that we can then half of the staffs were sent back. ramesh got a handful of us to OT, and i was one of them. while clearing, the guests were dancing on the dancefloor. their songs were all oldies lah. and they danced so kuku-ish. haha! by 12ish, then they began leaving. steven was in charge of the turnover. helped to set up for next day's wedding buffet lunch for half of the ballroom with lulu, zul and hans. did many things until 1ish, changed the signage and then we were signed off at 2am. took the 2.30am transport home, bathed and turned in immediately. DEAD BEAT CAN!!!! zzz.
saturday o8/o4 :
woke up at 9am feeling really really extremely tired. ZZZ!
however, i went to work still and met up with nnp at 11ish. changed, ate before going to the ballroom to report. jovin assigned us assignments. there were really very few staffs, thus i was to take care 2 tables by myself whereas most of them were 2-to-4tables. it's buffet, so pretty simple. helped to do many lame stuffs, then ushered at the stairs which i kept wanna yawn, before the door opens at 2ish.
because of the lack of staffs, i had to do dry ice too. DALLAND IS A PIG!!! dammit loh. all of us listened to jovin's briefing earlier on, saying our dry ice party will work as a chain. in other words, the cue to pour our ice into the hot water was when you see the one in front of the chain pour theirs, you will pour yours. that's what the aisle people did, and we got scolded "PIG" by dalland! come on loh, we followed instructions TOO! damn you. nnp was really pissed that she told jovin about it, and i think somehow jovin sided us? i think. ah, nevermind. dalland's a small pea anyway.
the buffet lunch was really straightforward. all i did was clear and carry in oval trays, but i overestimated myself and overstacked my items on my tray. thus, my shoulders are aching after carrying a few in. i think jovin saw my face was all flushed, thus he got another guy who's table has closed to help me settle my 2 tables, whereas i went to backlane to fold double fan napkin for the night's wedding dinner.
the guests left at about 4ish close to 5pm, and we began turning over. nnp and i were given one new staff to set 8 tables at east west. the guy is so damn proud! he's new somemore loh, tho' he worked in panpac's chinese restuarant and their banquet for a few days! he doesn't really listened to what we told him to do, and even attempted to argue with nnp until jovin came and "solve" the problem. ohwells, nevermind. we managed to finish everything after that still. all in all, during the turnover, i almost vomit blood! don't ask me why. i'm so angry. nnp too! argh.
right, when the 6pm staffs came, they helped out. at 6ish, ramesh chose some of the afternoon staffs to go home. nnp and i had to stay of cause. he assigned tables aftermath. lu lu and i were asked to take care VIP again. we settled the tables, before we were released for dinner at 7pm. finally man! i was famished. went to change into the cheong sum before we went back to the ballroom.
door opens at 8ish, but the guests came in slow and late so the dinner started late. it's a 9 course dinner, and we had our 2nd march-in only at 9.13pm (usually at 8ish)! don't know why but at night when lulu and i worked together, we two were like live zombies walking around. we were kinda blur, that steven kept "bth" us. haha! too tired lah. both of us worked till 2am last night and worked at 12pm this afternoon leh. of cause tired lah. i felt tonight's dinner was really long. zzz.
because of time constraints, the courses were fired out real fast! we just served one course down for the guests, samsi was already portioning the next course! damn rush. zZz. while everyone's serving dessert, ramesh got me to help him with the TCC cards. phew, a breather at last. went around to all tables handing the TCC cards to one guest per table, before getting back from them. did clearing aftermath, and occationally went to the back to help lulu pack food.
by 12mn, first batch staffs went home. nnp and i were the only 12pm staffs OT. argh! we OT till 1.30am somemore! steven now owed us 1hour pay. because most of us didn't manage to rush for the 1.30am transport, so we waited for the 2.30am one instead. while waiting, nnp, zhiling, lionel, jamie and i were in the canteen crapping. haha! after which, i took the same cab as jamie and lionel home. i'm so sleepy now. guess i can finally turn in, as my hair's pretty dry now. hurrr.
till then~ won't be working till thursday. boring... zzZ.
today, he's finally back after his long off days. guess it's so because he worked for 14 consecutive days last week. hmm. and he talked to me today! it's about work tho. :/ right..
GOODNIGHTS.
P/S: it's 9th april now. i've worked in conrad for exactly A YEAR now. lol.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Y i am so so so so so sad! T_T
i am so so so so so sad can!!! ~ T_T

Y coffee break.
heh. my first time working morning shift today, and it's ain't that bad lah. woke up at 5am, got ready and left my house at 5.45am. i feel weird going out even before my family wake up. hmm, took 857 to work and surprisingly, the traffic flow was good. no jams no nothing. and i reached conrad at 6.25am.
signed in, and waited outside the housekeeping to wait for them to open up at 6.45am, before getting my uniforms to get change. report upstairs at 7am, and i was asked to go to south room to report to dalland. SIAN. have to face him early in the morning, BUT, he's okay today lah. went to prepare ice water for the meeting at south room, then settled some stuffs at the foyer before i stand by to wait for guests to come in. some meeting then there's coffee breaks lah.
once guests arrived, they began having the light breakfast prepared for them. all i had to do was to standby at the coffee machine to make coffee for them. this event was meant for 60pax and i've to handle alone! then dalland quickly went to salon4 to grab aunty mary to help me out, since their side (with berry) starts only at 9am. by the way, this morning there's only berry, dalland, aunty mary and i working. phew, after a short while, the guests proceeded into the room for their meeting.
that was when i began refreshing the foyer. top up the coffee beans and stuffs, then clear those breakfast. and at 10am, there's another break for them. before that, i went to pick up their snacks and displayed them at the same place. at 10am, same thing happens. coffee break. it's for half an hour only, then they went in to continue with their meetings. the meeting will end at noon, thus no more breaks. i began clearing everything, and at 11.30am i was released for lunch.
after lunch, i was given a task by dalland. that is to clear everything, then set the entire north foyer. he framed up the place for me, then hand me the event order to prepare the whole area. side plates, dessert plate, soup bowls, tea cups, cutleries and etc. i was all alone setting up that area, so i took my time. haha! i got everything done at 3pm, and i can go home. dalland wasn't around so i had to go to 4th floor to look for steven to sign my voucher for me. stupig steve disturb me and don't let me go home. haha!
after awhile, went to rot at mery's desk for a short while before i went to change and left for home. nnp was asking me to go to her place, but i was too tired so i went home to sleep instead. will be working 5pm tomorrow evening. i'm so tired man. zzz.
