Y In the light of the sun, is there anyone?
i've just finished watching 转角＊遇到爱. this show has left me tearing so badly at certain peaks, and laughing like madshits at others. it wasn't the best sequel around, but definitely worth the watch. :)
***
life is short. today, you see the uncle smiling at you, greeting you "Good Morning" as he watches his pet bird chirping. and when you least expected it, someone tells you the news of his sudden death. life's full of unexpected happening. cherish the ones around you. whether he's someone close to your heart, or some passerby - a simple smile, a simple 'Hi' will definitely make a difference to another person's life. rest in peace, uncle.
so who is it that you will meet, at the very next corner? are you curious?
*Sigh*

Y To you who have created this storm...
How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the ocean’s shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head
If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I'd see you
This darkness would turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be all right
I know everything its right
I know you didn’t bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten feet under and upside down
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Because I’m so used to living underneath the surface
If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I'd see you
This darkness would turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know will be all right
And I would walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
Everything's alright
simply beautiful, beautifully simple. and yeah, i relate to this one big time.

Y So don't you ever, for a second, get to thinkin' you're irreplaceable..
it's Saturday night, and it has been a very very very happening and crazy night. it was Yun's 21st birthday big bash at Coasta Sand Pasir Ris.
it was indeed very happening! trust me. because it was absolutely hilarious watching someone going bonkers, laughing and shrieking like a crazy hyena, punching and kicking whoever comes into her way. man, it was dammit entertaining, yet irritating!
alright, before that above episode took place, we had the norm of a birthday party. when the room's occupied with only the not-so-familiar faces, froggie, jing xuan, li'e and i took off to the beach, rent bikes and cycled. it's been so long since we exercised, and now my butt's still aching from the vigorous riding. haha, i mean cycling! anyway, been at that area reminds me of our 2nd class chalet few years back. roller blading, falling, chasing with my beloved classmates. :)
it was really fun cycling with the girls. been ages since i met up with Jing Xuan OEI~~~. hee, missed those days we had back in Conrad. so much. we reminisced the good'ol days, and caught up alot. and not forgeting, snapping down our moments. can't wait to meet up again! and hopefully, together with yun as well (she was too busy to catch up today, you see). haha!
i hate to be fringe-less! strong wind la deh~
p.s: more pictures at the beach are with li'e. i shall wait till she sends them to me before uploading them. :)
head back to the chalet after returning our bikes at 7pm. more people came. the few i know are mainly people from Conrad (aunty jamie & aunty wendy), LSX (dong, roy, brian, joe, glen, rank, zach, augustine & benji) and some others. hanged out, mingled around and digging in food. that's basically what i did over there.
had the cake cutting session at about 9pm. roy, joe and i helped to set up the cake before gathering everyone over. oh, roy provided the non-extinguishable candles and i went to swap with the normal ones. lol! no matter how hard yun tried to blow them, they never goes off! cool right?

helped to take pictures for yun and her different groups of friends. and below are the 'groups' i belonged in.
LSX
Conrad
the Joannes
lovelies :)
oh, i think the customised cake turned out to be a disappointment! it wasn't what we designed and expected! we had expected a 3-Dimensional BOOBS, but it turns out to be a pair of monster's eyes instead! :(
odd looking monster!!!! :(
right, some of them left after eating the cake. then a few of us (yun, angel, rank, roy, joe, brian, froggie and i) went to the bedroom and drank. that was when the craziness began! the guys were like making yun down cups after cups of Chivas. well, they weren't the only ones, 'cause i heard Yun's colleagues or classmates prepared 21 cups of liquor for her downstairs. and this time round, she.is.really.drunk! here's proof...
and not forgetting, a picture of my larling and me. :)
:)
p.s: more pictures can be found at my Multiply. check back soon, because i'm still uploading the pictures at the moment. :) Yun, get the pix from me soon. :)

Y 如果你也听说
突然发现站了好久 不知道要往哪走
还不想回家的我 再多人陪只会更寂寞
许多话题关于我 就连我也有听过
我的快乐要被认可(我想我宁可都沉默)
委屈却没有人诉说(解释反而显得做作)
夜把心洋葱般剥落 拿掉防卫剩下什么
为什么脆弱时候 想你更多
如果你也听说 有没有想过我
像普通旧朋友 还是你 依然会心疼我
好多好多的话想对你说 悬着一颗心没着落
要怎么附和 舍不得 又无可奈何
如果你也听说 会不会相信我
对流言会附和 还是你 知道我还是我
跌撞撞才明白了许多 等我的人就你一个
想到你想起我 胸口依然温热
如果你想起我 你会想到什么

Y Reality's replaced you with the biggest emptiness...
upon reading one of yun's recent blog entries, i have this strong and weird gush of emotion. i haven't been blogging alot about my heart affairs, but tonight, i decided to share and let things go, once and for all.
as quoted,
我突然满脑子都是你的影子。你的笑声，你的声音，你的微笑，你的头发，你身上的味道，你的一切一切。 我仿佛回到了我们在一起的时光。虽是短暂，但是如此的美好。
i haven't been thinking much about Marc lately. maybe that's what they meant by "out of sight, out of mind", and that, surprisingly, works for me. it's been 3 months odd, and the pain has subsided, somehow. for those who're close to me will definitely know he's still not completely outta my mind, but yay, i've been too caught up with things to really go think about it.
untill tonight.
during the courtship days, he entered and disappeared from my life time after time (apparently, he likes playing MIA). i took in his words time after time. it's untill the 3rd disappearance, which is of late, that i decided to disappear from his life as well. we've been completely out of each other's lives for 3 months. and i'm trying to erase him from my life. even though i still talk about him occasionally, i no longer feel that pang of heartache anymore. it's a decision we've made, and so, i can't regret one bit, no?
yes, i don't deny i still can't bring myself to visit places we've been together. i won't deny that it's him that i thought of whenever i saw a grey mitsubishi lancer driving past, which i'll usually check out the license plate to see if it's him. i won't deny that certain songs (you ni zhen hao) still reminds me of him. and like i said, i no longer feel that pang of heartache anymore. it's just.. nostalgia.
no matter what. i'm really thankful to all my dear friends who has made this period of time so much bearable. supportive besties like li'e and tiffany who constantly encourage and keep me company. my favourite chat buddy, eadric, who is crappy but gives great advices. irritating dong who's always available for me to ask to company me for lunch or doing stupid things nearby. my hao xiong di's', han de, martin & co, who always invite me to join them for touring. and a bunch of wonderful colleagues who made my working hours so so so bearable. of cause not forgetting, many other friends who has been really supportive and nice to me all this while. yun, froggie, lee hong, lye hong, etc. for that, i think it'll take me forever to name everyone and everything.
sigh. changes are indeed inevitable. for that, i think i've changed. to the worst or better?
you shall be the judge.

Y Never knew you will let me go so far, when you left me on the boulevard..
happy 21st birthday, missYUN!!! :) :)
so how's it like to be 21? haha. i feel YOUNG to be 20 still btw. lalalala. so who's next? larling!!!!!!! alright, i better not laugh too much, because soon after larling's, it will be mine!!! gasp* haha!
anyhow, we girls had a helluva fun time this evening. it's been quite some time since the 3 of us hanged out together this way. it was simple, yet fun. hee. steamboat was great! and as usual, i ate lots of hotdogs. hahaha! halfway through our dinner, there's the fireworks display from the fireworks festival over at Marina!
throughout the dinner, we kept laughing. laughing over the all the silly things. and of cause, we did some catching up. been quite some time since i met the 2 of them anyway. :) and of cause, i missed disturbing froggie.
流星动物园 ! and this is the tissue paper wrapper that totally cracked yun up. LOL!
actually, i'm getting quite lazy to blog already. hence, i try to upload pictures and along with some words ok.
here's us posing with our FOOD.
after our meal, we decided to chill at some bar. on the way to the Mrt station, we broke into fits of laughter on the bus. why? because of some dumb things! hahahahaha. at the thought it now, i still wanna laugh ok. LOL. our crazy moment on the bus!! yahoooo.
on the train to Somerset.
okay, i've irritating fringe. -_-
head over to Balcony. ordered a bottle of Ice Pinot Noir, and we had a relaxing time chilling out, chit-chatting, cam-whoring, checking out cute guys, and whatnots. i'd love to do that more often in future, girls. :)
cheers.
taken by a really friendly waitress over there. :)
p.s: sorry yun, for the failed surprise at 12mn. hahahahahaha!
remember the time when i got wasted and puked all over dong? because of that incident, i vowed to myself that i won't let that happen again. i will still drink, but not till the extent that i'll get totally drunk. yay yay, i know i can't hold my alcohol well and that i can get tipsy pretty easily and fast. that explains why i can't walk straight after that few glasses just now. but at least i was still pretty sober alright. haha!
we left the bar at about 1am, and went to walk along Orchard Road to make ourselves a little more sober, before heading home at 1ish. we even bumped into Aizat and Tini along the way.
Tipsy Already! Doom da da da di doom! ~ (inside Meritus Mandarin)
after the toilet break at Meritus Mandarin, we sat down somewhere and became all emotional. is that what they called it, 酒后吐心事? :s
took NR1 home after that. got home at 2ish, and it's that emotional night when Dan Byrd's Boulevard is on my playlist healing my soul.
so what do you do when things doesn't go right all the time?
to the left to the left.
p.s: yun, mug hard for your exams and we'll party hard again next weekend during your chalet! :D happy birthday once again, breast friend. tsk.

Y Set adrift on memory bliss of you
it has been a busy Saturday morning. i got up as early as 8am man! went to settle my school fees with my folks in the morning. now everything's settled, and all i've to do is to wait for my student card/textbooks collection and the commencement of the school term. :) then after, we went to check out cars at the showroom at Lower Delta.
...rain rain go away. it's been raining the whole morning!
anyhows, went to collect my Bigi spree loot, which is as shown in the picture above. this only cost NT$290, and in total, i only spent about SGD$16 (inclusive of shipping). cheap deal right? teehee. i've 2 more bags on the way! :)
some random stuffs:
i've decided to change my hair style again, soon. prolly in Oct.
i really can't stand some ass followers.
okay, i should feel flattered.
right, gonna rest a little before i'm heading out again to meet Yun and Froggie for dinner! despite the sickening ulcer i've in my mouth, i'm going to have steamboat still. been long since i had steamboat at Marina. it was since mid-March, when i had it with my OCBC collegues! haha. so, RAIN RAIN GO AWAY! :)

Y 孤单是一个人的狂欢, 狂欢是一群人的孤单
it has been a great catching up dinner with an ex-colleague, Zaeid, and of cause my crazy woman, li'e. we had 925 Chicken rice after work, and did loads of catching up. well, Zaeid is still pretty much the same - still very naggy. he's always preaching about the virtues of supporting ORIGINAL. what to do? he's a policeman now. hahahahahaha.
it was great meeting up and catching up with him nonetheless. :) and not forgetting my larling too! she's getting oh-so tanned, or should i say black? oops. LOL! you should really take a look at the difference of our skin colour now! i'm always complaining that i'm tanned, but man, i feel terribly fair standing next to her! lmao. :x
i feel good being able to share my inner thoughts with that few close friends. for that, i feel blessed. thank you larling, and tiffy (will reply to your email soon). :)
okay, so i'm filled with lethargy and the only thing i've managed to complete so far is increasing the depletion rate of my already attenuating bank account, to which i've been highly subjected to doing too much these days.
i believe it's every woman's natural inclination to slide that dangerous piece of plastic over the counter, gleeing with happiness at the thought of yet another purchase while signing on what was yet another receipt of permission to yet diminish the shrinking bank account. i, on the other hand, prefer the instant clicking of a button that automatically transfers the moolahs to the designated merchant's account. after which i realised with some horror that i'm left with a measly sum for rest of the month. gasps*
joanne, you GOT TO stop shopping online.
but there's one comforting point for me is that, there's someone who shops more crazily than ME. so phews* :D
BTW. here's the 26" Gymnastic Ball i was talking about the other day. i swear it's damn tiring to get it pumped up. -_-
before
after! :)
my desktop's in a mess right now. lots of new songs waiting to be sorted out. and one of which is my current hook. all thanks to a colleague who recommended it to me. the lyrics is really ... sad. :(
叶子是不会飞翔的翅膀
翅膀是落在天上的叶子
天堂原来应该不是妄想
只是我早已经遗忘
当初怎麽开始飞翔
孤单是一个人的狂欢
狂欢是一群人的孤单
爱情原来的开始是陪伴
但我也渐渐地遗忘
当时是怎样有人陪伴
我一个人吃饭旅行到处走走停停
也一个人看书写信
自己对话谈心
只是心又飘到了哪里
就连自己看也看不清
我想我不仅仅是失去你- 叶子
heh. the new look on my blog, gave me more reasons to visit it, and also, blog more! thus, this pretty random post. wahaa!
Labels: random
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Y i can do whatever i want, like you.
finally, i've made some changes to my blog. the old look has been there for, 1 year, or so. and now, here's something more refreshing. i really like the top banner alot, but bear with the lousy resolution for the time being ya? teehee. :)
I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road along
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever
Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
lots of queer things are happening lately, and i'm feeling pretty low. sighs*
it's okay, things will lighten up soon. know why?
because i'm meeting my best friend and a good'ol friend tonight! :)

Y i can't give you a reason.
12th august - indeed a remarkable day for me.
met up with a dear friend of mine. yes, tiffany! it's been a great great day with you. i'm sorry that i cant be the one doing the travelling this time round again. i'm sure we'll have the chance again soon right? :)
it's been a great day, and i felt like both of us were in our own world, doing our endless catching up. lunch, shopping. dinner and chilling. oh my god, blithely date out with you my dear girl! but good times always have to end so soon, and before we knew it, it's time for us to head back home.
what i can say is, i really love this dear old friend of mine. friends for 7 going to 8 years, and our bond is forever so strong. and tiffy even bought me a really cute Elmo top as a belated birthday present. Elmo - our ol'school time's fetish! hahahahaha. thanks girl! but she did gave me a fright when we can't get in touch with her after we parted! both xiu ping and her mom called me and told me tiffy left her passport at her sister's place, and had hope to contact you via me. but they were too late! hahaha, but i'm glad they finally got in touch with you in the end. be safe girl. :)
i don't know when's the next time we'll meet, but i know it won't be that long. =)
and, guess what? tonight's really a pretty weird night. i'm actually chatting with Wilson right now! we've started talking since 10ish, and now it's past 12 already. well, he msn-ed me earlier asking if i was wearing Brown today. 'cause he thought he saw me at Tampines just now, but apparently it wasn't me he saw. luckily he didn't went up to say hi, which he intended to, if not it'll be so embarrassing man. and oh, he did saw me once at Bugis with li'e few weeks back. oh man, so our paths had crossed quite a few times before! :/
it began that way. and we're catching up now. it feels funny, that we are able to talk like the past, and even talked about the past. about the mistakes. about the hurt. about the break-up. about the aftermath. basically, we talked about everything! i swear this is really weird! and surprisingly, he actually remembered and knew many things about me and us! and it seems like we've many many many many misunderstanding in the past!
everything became so clear to me now. like what we've been saying and repeating, let bygones be bygones. and i'm glad that we are friends again. and we're bugging de xiang for our Fullerton treat, which he gonna treat me after getting the $300 APMI referral fees. hahaha!
life's so funny huh? i was just catching up with tiffy, and of cause he was in our topics too, and now, we're chatting! and now, all the selected-to-be-forgotten memories between us came crashing back to me again. in fact, i still remembered everything! ohmy. and this made me wondered, if the other guy will come back into my life somehow someway again few years down the road. ohwells. life's really unpredictable.
but thanks boy. for bringing a lil hope in my life, again. :)
p.s: finally. my siao char boh is coming home tomorrow! and i can't wait to share with her what happened today!!!!! welcome home larling! :D

Y i grew tired, you expired, you finished me.
i wonder how's my mad woman doing over at Bintan? has she got so tanned that i can no longer regconise her?! haha!
alright snap! had wanted to make a trip to the bank to run some errand alone this afternoon, but all thanks to Dong. we met up for lunch at AMK, and because of that, i don't have to queue at the bank ALONE! wahaha. i noticed that Kas (OCBC training classmate) has been transferred to AMK branch, and even gets to start a counter. i remembered she used to miss a couple of lessons, and had failed her practical tests a few times. i'd thought she left OCBC like most of us, but man, she's doing pretty well now! and i believe, if i were to stay as well, who knows i'll be like her too? at least i passed my theory and practical tests all at one attempt! haha. :x ohwells, no regrets at all. :)
made plans to catch Rush Hour 3 tonight. but i had to choose between watching with my family or with martin & han de. in the end, i chose the former because 1) if i were to go with the guys, they will have to change their dinner plans to eat something-that-i-crave - dim sum, instead of their usual-plan - Sushi! and if that's the case, i'll feel really bad. 2) i won't have to pay if i'm watching with my family. so yay. HAHA! :)
brilliant flick by the mighty duo - jackie chan and chris tucker! after Rush Hour 1 & 2, do you think you can miss this? definitely not! this is funny like anything! i had a greeeeeeeeaaaaaaaat laugh man! and do stay on till the end and watch the NGs. man, it's super hilarious! hahaha. 4/5 from me. =)
man, i think i'm a freak! i've caught 5 movies so far for this month, and that's not all! apart from the 5 which i've paid watching it, i caught the following ones at home too! youknowwhatimeant. :x
luckily i didn't spend moolahs watching this, because i think its kinda boring. however, it's something that makes one understand that, having a baby ain't that easy afterall. 3/5 for this. :)
if you've caught Hostel Part 1, you will find this is a kind of disappointment. not as gory as Part 1. but the ending of Part 2 gave me this "whoa, girl power!" kinda feeling! lol. and the castration! oh holy! you could really see the penis being cut-off! hahaha. no wonder it's rated R21! ohwells. 3/5 for this.
just completed, and i've yet to catch it. will be watching this tonight. since i've read many positive reviews about it, i suppose it'll be nice? hahaha.
and, that's not ALL! i The Simpsons and License to Wed are next! AND, i just bought Rain's debut movie VCD - I'm a Cyborg, but That's Ok. and it comes with a free movie poster! teeheeheehee. :D anyway, i'm really really interested to watch this Musical Play - The King & I, at the Esplanade. i've missed the "Phantom of the Opera" musical, and am really keen to watch this, but it's kinda expensive and i'm pretty sure none of my friends are as interested in this as me so that equals to no company. booooooo. :(
right, off to continue pumping air into my newly bought 26" Gymnastic Ball and starts shedding some 'hidden' fats off with it. goodnight loves! =)
P/S: dear tifffffffffy!!! here i comeeeeeee! =)

Y watching as it turn to dust
happy 42nd birthday, Singapore!
do you miss those days when everyone gotta be in either red or white at school? do you miss those morning parade by the uniform groups on the 8th August? do you miss the national day concert at school? and most importantly, do you miss the half-day off from school so very much?!?
time is different now. we no longer have half day off on National day eve. we no longer have long weekend, which we gotta sacrifice our annual leave just to have that now! we no longer have to wear red or white to work. we no longer hear "Squad, insert-command" in the parade square early in the morning. and also, we no longer have to sing the national anthem and recite the pledge.
that's pretty sad, isn't it? :/
so how was your National day? i spent mine shopping at Parkway Parade. i used to frequent there when i was a kid, as my granny used to stay near that area. today, that place had upgraded so much. it's almost like a shopping heaven!
sigh. siao char boh just head off to Bintan today. if only i've a partner, we'll probably be able to double date there right woman? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 4 days without talking to this mad woman makes me feel so ... odd. but peaceful as well! hahahahaha! kidding. take care and enjoy your short getaway.... without meeeeeeeeee!! wails*
i think you should carry me this way to Bintan too. HAHAHA! :p
hope you've had a great holiday! YOU as well .... :)

yes, you are right! i just went to catch the movie he directed and acted in - Secret. what's so secretive about this show? you must be wondering. go catch it and you'll know what it's all about. overall, the twist of the story is ghostly! hahaha, okay kidding.
i didn't know JAY ZHOU can be so cute in this show. well, he IS cute! teeeheee. he's musically inclined, he cooks and he's sweet! i seriously think guys who cooks and are musically inclined are so damn attractive! now, i don't mind if the guy owns a BICYCLE anymore! haha, go catch the show and you'll know why.
definitely a 5/5 popcorns for this show too! wonderful show which i caught with li'e, but damn, funny things always happen when i'm watching movie with her. the other time was some disgusting chuckles by a perverted guy, and today, it's the pungent smell from the loo which was pretty near to our seats! eew, i booked the wrong seats already! eew. oh btw, we were anticipating this show so very much that we booked our tickets 1 week in advance! hahahaha. :D
okay liao lah. i hyper enough already. i'm off to bed! hooooray! 1 more day, and it's a PUBLIC HOLIDAY! =) nights loves.

冷咖啡离开了杯垫
我忍住的情绪在很后面
拼命想挽回的从前
在我脸上依旧清晰可见
最美的不是下雨天
是曾与你躲过雨的屋檐 oh~~
回忆的画面
在荡着秋千 梦开始不甜
你说把爱渐渐 放下会走更远
又何必去改变 已走过的时间
你用你的指尖 阻止我说再见
想象你在身边 在完全失去之前
你说把爱渐渐 放下会走更远
或许命运的签 只让我们遇见
只让我们相恋 这一季的秋天
飘落后才发现 这幸福的碎片
要我怎么捡

Y the girl from Ipanema
Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah
When she walks, she's like a samba that swings so cool and sways so gently
That when she passes, each one she passes goes - aah
Ooh But he watches so sadly, How can he tell her he loves her,
Yes he would give his heart gladly,
but instead when she walks to the sea,
she looks straight ahead not at him,
Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, he smiles - but she doesn't see
Ooh But he sees her so sadly, how can he tell her he loves her
Yes he would give his heart gladly,
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him
Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, he smiles - but she doesn't see
She just doesn't see

"The Girl from Ipanema" ("Garota de Ipanema") is a well known bossa nova song, and was a worldwide hit in the mid-1960s and won a Grammy for "Record of the Year" in 1965. It was written in 1962, with music by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Portuguese lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes with English lyrics written later by Norman Gimbel. It is sometimes sung by female artists as "The Boy from Ipanema."
-Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/
Ipanema is located in the southern zone in Brazil. this song has a really catchy tune, which got me hooked instantly. i want the english version MP3, and i'm still trying to look for it. the one i downloaded is in Portuguese, but it's great nonetheless. in fact, there's all kinds of rendition for this song! call me old, call me outdated, but this is what i call music. =)

Y fall back to the arms of grace
meeting up with my favourite girl always perks me up, and made me feel loads better after a lousy night! because of some reasons, the meet-up with tiffy has been postponed to next week, so i have intended to nua at home today. just when i was feeling extremely bored, a text from li'e rescued me from my boredom! hahaha.
so instead of only meeting han de&co for dinner (which gonna be few hours later), i got changed at 2ish and went to meet li'e for some retail therapy. and i absolutely love shopping with this girl. hahaha! for that few hours, we merely managed to comb 2 malls - FEP and DFS. it's been long since we stepped foot into FEP, and we felt really lost there. there were so many younger ones around, that we found ourselves unable to fit in. haha! but well, girls will always find their ways "around and into" a shopping mall, so we ain't any different! haha.
bumped into quite a number of friends there. hui yu, dong and a long-time friend! all at separate timing of cause. haha! while shopping for bikini, i saw my ISAN (ice skating club) friend, zi xuan. hahahaha! singapore's so small! right, anyhows, the girl we ordered our ampoules from was in town today, so we managed to receive our ampoules today!!! :D
nevermind, i'll just wait for a few more days before getting the moderators involved. right, shan't let that spoil my mood further. li'e and i shopped till 8ish before taking the train back.
went to meet my folks at Yishun 10 for this action flick at 9.30pm. wheeeeeee! 5/5 chocobytes for this! absolutely love the exciting stunts by Donnie Yen and Louis Koo (whoo, hot bod!). this show has got my ass glued to the seat and eyes glued to the screen for 90 ol'minutes! what more can i say? great moves, bootiful hunks and interesting plot - definitely worth the catch! :D
the weekend's ending real soon, but hey, next week's gonna be a short one, so cheers!! =) oh btw, to hell with the emo shits i had last night. it will be over soon, i guess. ;)
