i just hope the same thing won't happen again. don't make me worry liao okay? :) Labels: Daily Drivel, My Zhu Tao
anywhooooos. my weekend has been pretty simple, but pleasant enough. CY and i had Dim Sum supper at Geylang Lorong 17, followed by a midnight show down at Bishan J8 on friday night.
caught this, which i personally think has a bad twist. am i the dumb one or most viewers are like me - catch no balls. haha! however, this show has really disgusting visuals! eurgh. i still very much prefer "Alone" by the same production. :)
and on saturday, CY and i went for a walk at Chinatown, before having our dinner at Beach Cabana along ECP. pretty nice chill-out place, i must say. took a walk, before we head back. turned in pretty late that night, because i was worried. :(
hanged out a little on sunday, before it was time for CY to book in. and we saw one of the prettiest rainbow together. :) anyway, i just traded in my handphone, because my previous one went haywired already. haha!
alrightys, just a short update. 2 more days to 21st. not looking forward, because my celebration is over. haha! off to lunch. toodles~ :D

Y My heart knows you're the missing piece
our long weekend off is drawing to an end soon. it's CHRISTMAS EVE tomorrow! so what are your plans? i'm so excited to present my part 2 and 3 gifts to CY. hahaha! part 1 was a personalized EZ-link i ordered online, which i think was a pretty practical yet innovative gift. i hope you like it, dear. do look forward to your part 2 and 3 alrights? (: Labels: Daily Drivel, My Zhu Tao
anyhows. this weekend had been so fab, that i want to remember it by blogging everything out. and of cause, i'll leave the details like what time i woke up or what i ate, in case that'll bore the guts out of you people. (:
Wednesday, 19th: waited for CY to book out before meeting him. supper at HK Cafe @ ECP. strolled under the moonlight talking about everything and anything.
and i fell in love with CY again tonight. :)
Thursday, 20th: towning with CY. caught Alvin & the Chipmunks. REALLY CUTE MOVIE!!! ahhhh. haha!
de chipmunks are freaking adorable! and their tune "xmas xmas don't be late ..." is stuck in my head now. haha! :) went to check out Haji Lane after dinner, then it was supper and 'red light district' stroll at Geylang after that. hahahaha! pretty interesting sight. i had to held on to CY tight tight so that the 'ladies' there will stop eyeing on him. LOL.
..and i fell in love with CY again and again tonight. :)
Friday, 21st:went SSDC with CY and my brother. got myself a new TP test date. hahahaha! won't tell you the date yet, but i can say it's after CNY and before CY's birthday. let's hope i can pass then? i hope the new instructor will be better than my previous one. :)
went pubbing at Circular Road with CY, li'e, wei liang, martin, jason and christopher at night. sang a few songs, and i sang one song specially to li'e, but i'm sorry, girl, for making you cry and caused your eyeliner to smudge. my bad ok? haha! but i hope you'll feel better after "letting them out". :) we ordered 2 bottles of Chivas this time round, but finished only 1.5 of it. haha! and the guys went crazy and dared CY and i to do something, but of cause we did not. wahaahaa! :P
... and i fell in love with CY again and again and again tonight. :)
Saturday, 22nd: Shopping time in the afternoon!! then it was dinner with my family and CY at night. ended the night pretty early, as we're heading to JB the next day.
... and i fell in love with CY again and again and again and again tonight. i hope the talk will be in your head forever, as that's really my heartfelt words, dear. :)
Sunday, 23rd: since we can't have a few days getaway to somewhere further, we made do with a 1day trip to City Square, Johor. haha! we had a splendid day out in Malaysia. we even dressed so "Malaysian-ish" (no pun intended) today. haha! didn't manage to grab much loots, as i think the trend there doesn't really suits me. lol!
caught I am Legend at RM10 each. this show makes me feel sad. this show made me teared. nice film there. i like. :) haha. really enjoyed the trip with CY today, especially when i "felt the way" he protected me from the rubs and buas at the custom. haha! thanks dear, and i hope you've enjoyed your weekend as much as i did. :D
and of cause, i fell in love with him again and again and again and again and again. it never stops. there's always a new reason for me to love you each day. can't wait to spend our first Christmas together.
no one ever saw me like you do
all the things that I could add up too
i never knew just what a smile was worth
but your eyes see everything without a single word
'cause there's somethin' in the way you look at me
it's as if my heart knows you're the missing piece
you make me believe that there's nothing
in this world I can't be
i never know what you see
but there's somethin' in the way you look at me
if I could freeze a moment in my mind
it'll be the second that you touch your lips to mine
i'd like to stop the clock, make time stands still
'cause, baby, this is just the way I always wanna feel
i don't know how or why I feel different in your eyes
all I know is it happens every time
the way you look at me
have a good christmas, peeps! make it a merry one.
happy holidays!! :D
P/S: Check here for updates. and reminder to those who have not replied me, let me know by next week ok? thanks! :)

Y And the bright lights turn to night
few more hours before my LONG weekend! free from work till Christmas! how cool is that? :D Labels: Daily Drivel, Nostalgic
i was still feeling pretty sleepy earlier on, till i read the latest Memo. maybe to some people who has been working for years, this is like a norm to them. but to ME, it's my first time! i'm getting my first bonus! it's not exactly fat, but it's enough to make me grin like a silly cat. teeheeheehee. :P
and so, 2007 is drawing to an end. it's time to pick up the remains of 2007, and welcome 2008 with a fresh start. new year's resolutions are never meant to be kept but just for the sake of promising ourselves a fresh start for the upcoming year, we'll tend to have a few resolutions made. :)
well, 2007 has been really fast-paced and happening for me. at a blink of the eyes, the year is ending. and again, before i begin with the new set of resolutions, i've dug out the old ones from the blogger archive (which i wrote on my last entry in 2006);
1. pass my FYP and graduate from NP with pride.
check check. :D
2. lead a healthy lifestyle, with weekly yoga and daily crunches to start with. and probably adjust my biological clock back to normal once i started work.
uh-oh. i'm still unhealthy. :p
3. get a good job and earn big bucks.
check to a certain extent.
4. get my class 3 licence. and hopefully my family will get to share a car once both my brother and i get a full-time job.
so near yet so far. failed my TP, hence waiting for my 2nd chance.
5. come up with constructive plans with regards to my future; starting with short-term planning such as deciding what kind of job do i wanna have and also, the ultimate question of 'what do i wanna be' (that simple yet difficult question)
check? guess so. :)
6. not to be affected/swayed by others' judgments; not just as in how i come across to people but be more assured of my capabilities and potentials when handling person-person relationships.
check. :)
7. not be dependent on anyone anymore.
i can't do this at all. especially right now. haha.
stay tuned for my new set of resolutions. :D:D:D

Y A decision
even though i know there's more cons than pros in this, and that many will disagree with me, but my heart seems to have made the decision. i don't know. i don't have the heart to do this anymore. again, it's the devil in me making its toll on me. Labels: Daily Drivel
by doing so, it gives me more freedom and time. liberation.
ah well, at least my parents are supportive. i hope CY is too.. i need him to be. :)
anyhow, my daddy dearest's birthday dinner at Thomson Plaza last night was a simple and fulfilling one. second time CY joined us for 'celebration'. i feel he's already part of us. :) head home with my parents aftermath, whereas CY went to meet his friends. and today, we went to kengey's place for mahjong with neth. been long since we met up, and the session was a fun one, although i lost some bucks. haha!
i learnt something. that, it's not a must to tell the whole world about everything. only you... :)
9 dec: happy 20th birthday, zeeeeeeeee!! :D:D
10 dec: happy 51st birthday, dad! :D:D

Y chillybillypillywilly
i've lots to blog about, but i don't know what's happening to my malfunction brain as it doesn't seem to know how to lump my words together in the proper manner. Labels: Daily Drivel, My Zhu Tao
i hate it when someone makes a mistake and refuses to admit it, and yet blames it on the system. it's pretty obvious it's a human error loh! i hate it when someone yaks non-stop when i'm busy or when i needed peace. i'm still okay if the person's talking about relevant stuffs, but no way! do you think i'll be interested to know how you usually spend your CNY every year? or do you even think i'll be that least bit interested about DOTA?! obviously not. stop giving excuses like 'i got short term memory' or 'i cocked-eye one leh' when you're unable to produce what was required.
honestly, i still prefer my favourite girl. miss you leh. :/
***
to juggle work and school is not as easy as i thought. as what de xiang was telling me how stressed up he's feeling right now with all the assignments and all. fyi, he's taking part-time degree and he's not working. even he can complain it's tough, do you think it's tougher for me? i don't know. or probably because i'm a slacker by 'birth'. remember i mentioned that i've an Econs essay to work on, and it's due tonight? i am really clueless about Econs, and i was really desperate for help. hence, i consulted jae for help. with his vast JC econs knowledge, he spoon-fed me with all the necessary key points to the question and all i did was putting them together in my own words. voila, the essay's completed within hours! look, i can't even do my own work! i can't possibly rely on friends all the time right? nobody will help me during exams loh. :(
i really need some motivation. maybe you guys can help by saying things like, "i'll buy you a honda jazz if you pass your examinations". haha! then i'll definitely work hard for that. lol, kidding. well, i guess probably i'm just feeling really exhausted. and that resulted in me falling dead sick right now. sigh.
my daddy dearest asked me a question last week, and that got me to do some serious thinking.
***
have you ever felt so attached to someone that you want to tell him practically every single things every single day? things like what you ate, where are you at, who you met, what made you smiled, what made you pissed, what made you cried, etc.
i do.
he's not just a boyfriend. he's more than a friend. more than a bestfriend. more than a family. he's almost a part of me, my other half. thank you, dear, for all your genuine love and care, which came in all forms - good and bad. haha! you boy i can't live without and all i mind's losing you too. hugs*
***
anyhows. i've started extending my birthday bash invites to some of my friends, and the response i'm getting ain't that bad. after my lecture week, i'm going to start sourcing for halal buffets and thinking about my cake design. ANYBODY GOT ANY RECOMMENDATION? teehee. well, as some of my friends are requesting, here's a 'guideline' for to-get-for-joanne list. i won't say it's a wish list, but ya, just a guideline. HAHA.
1) A Red Honda Jazz. must be auto transmission hoh. :p
2) Sony Ericsson W580i in metallic pink.
3) Microwave Oven. any brand will do, so long i can bake cookies/cakes/muffins with it. :P
4) the new Ipod Nano. must be the one which can watch video. 4gb will do, but i won't mind the 8gb one too. :p
5) DKNY lady watch. please DON'T get the round-faced ones, because i don't look good wearing round ones. haha! below ones look good. :x
wahaha!! remember, that's just a guideline. there's many other things you can get me. and i accept ang paus too. flowers also can. you know i love them. :) aiya, so long you got the 'heart', i'll be glad even if you just sent me a sms wishing me happy birthday. :)
1 more month to my birthday bash!!! wheee. :D

Y This is the season to be JOLLY! :D
few reasons made my mood exceptionally good today! :D Labels: Daily Drivel
1) took off from work today, hence i had a goooooooooooooooood loooooonnnng sleep.
2) no lessons today and tomorrow!
3) still very much in love with my yanyan.
4) my close friends are still very close with me despite we hardly get to meet up now. muack muack.
5) got in touch with my OCBC training mates too. can't wait to meet up with them again!
6) christmas is coming! this is the season to be jolly, falalalala lalalala. :D
...and etc
hence, i'm really in the mood to call my folks earlier to tell them i missed them. i still get to see my mom every morning, but not my dad. i bet he missed me like hell (that's according to my mom). haha! and i'm also in the mood to help with some house chores. lol!
alrighty, gotta get down to Ubi to settle my driving matters and "on the way" to CY's training centre to see him. haha!
have a rocking weekend yo.
xoxo.

Y Revelation & Resolution
i love you. that is a revelation. that is a resolution. Labels: Daily Drivel, My Zhu Tao
i choose not to withhold my love from you. i choose to give it all, all the time. imperfectly. irrationally. unconditionally. because that is what i am made to do and that is who i choose to be. i'm really touched today. dear YCY, you may wonder why and what made me so touched. i don't know either. probably it's you being you, and your presence, touches my heart big time. :)
i have a wonderful friday evening spent with a bunch of funloving colleagues and YCY. bowling session at Orchid Country Club, followed by supper at Newton circus. ahh, heaven. :) and i'm really grateful that my dad's so willing to pick up YCY from Bishan, before sending us both to OCC. my dad's one in a million. time to show him my endless gratitude on his birthday in a couple weeks' time. :)
can't wait to spend the rest of my weekend with YCY, before the dreadful hectic weeks ahead. BTW, i managed to complete my essay and read up few pages of de Econs notes last night. see, i said 'by hook or by crook' what! anyway, i think Econs is hell. i need help. sigh.. :(
REMINDER: Yellow or green for you? HERE.
have a rocking weekend yo. :D

Y Maybe I'm Amazed
i learnt 2 things recently. Labels: Daily Drivel, My Zhu Tao
1. you will feel happier when you make someone happy
2. you will feel happier when you choose to believe in others.
best friend + boyfriend = soulmates
do you think thats true? if it is, i hope i have found the one.
it won't be complete if it's one-sided. it ought to be and has been reciprocated. :)
i love it when CY smiles or laughs at the smallest things. be it me breakdancing at Bishan/Yishun, or me commenting something stupid. it's you whom i believe in. :)
it's the time of my life. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
REMINDER: so it's YELLOW or GREEN highlight for you? :) HERE.
right, off to finish off the damn essay. i'm such a procrastinator, all time and big time.

Y Have a rocking weekend!
heyos! guess what? it's Friday today, and that means CY is booking out tonight! haha. :D Labels: Daily Drivel
so what have i been up to this whole week? work has been a bitch, as usual. i'm practically going to work for the sake of my salary, and not because i want to work. if not for the many factors, i will really runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn away. sigh.
during CY's night off this week, i went to meet him for dinner at TM. felt really great to see him after a rough day at work. that's one ultimate bliss for sure. :) and i even get to see wei liang and buggy. eons since i last see buggy loh. and after that, i even met up with li'e for a chat at Mac. and also, i managed to meet up with kengey for lunch on wednesday. she got me this really cute bling-bling clip from korea, and showed me the pictures and videos (of RAIN, mind you!). i felt like i'm watching a korean sequel while looking at them. LOL! and damn, RAIN is still as HOT as ever. and that makes me wanna log on to youtube and start watching his clips again. tsk! wahahahahahhahahahaha.
i reckon i'm gonna be uber busy soon. school has begun, and i've 2 essays to do before the start of my lectures end of this month. the modules i'm taking this term are HR management and Econs. may the force be with me! i'm pretty motivated to study hard right now, so lets just hope this won't die off that soon. ;) it's not easy for one to juggle work and school, as that's really tiring. but i won't give up, because life's a choice and i made this choice so i'll stick to it. i can do it, no? =)
actually i haven't had the best week, because of some let-down here and there. sigh, but i'm really glad to have CY and my friends by my side to pull me through. it's not through, but at least, thanks to them for listening. i'm sorry, li'e, if i scared you over the phone last night with my weeps and all. but i'm really grateful for your help. hee. =)
all work/school and no play makes JOANNE a very very dull girl. and so, i'll still definitely make time for some fun. i've a rocking weekend all planned, so i hope you people have a ROCKING WEEKEND ahead too! =D
3rd: Happy birthday mommy dearest!
4th: happy birthday favourite-chat-buddy, eadric! i still owe ya a treat. :)
can't wait to see my dearest tonight. =)

Y Embracing chances.
life is all about giving and taking chances. i don't wanna look back one day and say, "oh, why hadn't i grabbed hold of the golden opportunity then?". i don't wanna regret. hence, i decided to take this chance, appreciate it, and hope it will last. i know all good things will inevitably come to an end, BUT ... i still wanna be stubborn and hope this will not end. hope is frail. without hope is, hopeless. is lifeless. is null. is zilch. Labels: Daily Drivel
chances. i love chances.
i embrace them. i heart them. i muacks them.
and, life is good! :D
and so, have you logged in to your Facebook account, added me as friend, and gave my cute lil fluffy ZHU TAO a pet or a feed? teehee. =)

Y Time Square can't shine as bright as you
TGIF. Labels: Daily Drivel
it's gonna be a long weekend for me. took half day off today, and full day off for monday (for my TP). and today, i walked many miles under the scorching sun doing so many stuffs. and i'm sooo totally exhausted!
birthday dude, dong, was at YCK when i knocked off, so he called me to eat lunch with him. and since i was heading that way, so i agreed and we had cheapo lunch at NYP. haha! then we walked under the burning sun to SSDC, as i needa renew my PDL. yes, it's that dumb! my PDL's expiring tomorrow, and my TP is on monday. in other words, IF i passed my TP on monday, i'll be spending 25$ for a 2 days PDL which actually can last for 6 months. -_-
waited for sometime at level 3, and the officer told me that i can't renew my PDL at SSDC, and that i've to renew it at Post Office. wah piangz! my instructor had insisted that SSDC can renew loh. waste my time. so, poor birthday dude had to follow me to and fro under the sun. haha, thanks and sorry! we then parted at AMK, where he head off to mug for exams (what a sad birthday for him. waha!), and i was off to school to settle some stuffs.
li'e had wanted to take few hours off from work and join me for some shopping, but in the end, we did not meet afterall. went shopping on my own. yes, i was never a fan of doing things alone, and that includes shopping, but surprisingly, i enjoyed shopping alone very much today. and it has been really fruitful for me and my soul, but not for my pockets. wahaha! had wanted to drop by Grey Vibes to look at the dresses, but damn my feet couldn't take it anymore. head home at 5ish then. and i'm oh-so sleeeeeeeeeeeepy now. zzz.
fairy tales and promises don't exist anymore. i choose to take life in a more practical and superficial way.
alright, more more more more driving practices coming. but, i still feel really unprepared leh. :/

Y Parting is part and parcel of life.
sounds clichéd? but it's happening to our lives all the time. i get emotionally attached to people and objects pretty easily, so i hate parting. Labels: Daily Drivel
i'm so gonna miss my dear neighbour at work so much! it's been a good'ol 7months odd with you at work. the one who made work so bearable for me. the one who taught me loads of things, both at work and off work. the one who always look out for me, and always so helpful to me and everyone else.
i'll definitely miss turning to my left and that familiar friendly face appears. i'll definitely miss chattering with you as and when we felt like it. i'll definitely miss lunching with you. i'll definitely miss learning many many things from you. i'll definitely miss sharing dramas/movies/songs with you. i'll definitely miss buying or drinking the 20cents drinks together. i'll definitely miss having you around to enlighten me about many many things. i'll definitely miss crapping, chatting, giggling, laughing AND working with you! very much!
i know we gonna keep in touch, but still, i'll definitely cherish the remaining 1month. i wish my dear girl all the best in her future endeavours. take care, and i love you lah. muacks. don't cry okie?

Y Wise up now or pay the cost.
i just spent half hour crapping on the phone with the character profiler li'e and i met from the career fair last month. his name is jason, and he called me to tell me the results of the survey we took. Labels: Daily Drivel
and guess what's the result of my survey?
WAHAHAHA.
jason says, i'm damn damn damn (yes, with that emphasis) suitable to be in the sales line. yeah, i'm pretty interested to do sales (not the kind of retail sales, but more like car agent or property agent), but i never thought i could be so DAMN suitable to be one. because i'm always shy and quiet in front of people. and i've no confidence to hit targets or whatsoever. how can right? haha!
okay, that's not my point actually. and you know what he said about the reason? he said, it's because i'm crappy. okay, i'm owned. -_-" WAHAAHAA!
please remind myself to ask li'e how's her results tomorrow. LOL.
okay, don't mind me ya, because i seriously am amused.
btw, how ah? 1 more week. and i'm damn gan chiong till i lao sai-ed. LOL, no lar. i'm kidding about that.
wheee, going shopping tomorrow! :D
time for bed. nights all!

anyhows, dropped by the World Food Fair 2007 at Suntec Convention this afternoon. i just loved the hot & spicy fishballs! wheee, ate quite alot and i'm still feeling pretty bloated right now. haha! i'm craving for so many food right now. Mac breakfast, cold rock ice cream, buffets, ikea meatball, etc. :(
ahh, there goes the weekend. and it's Monday again tomorrow. i hope this week won't be as busy as the last couple of weeks, which i think is unlikely so. :( okay, after so many weeks, my dear girl has finally send me the long overdue pictures! haha.

Labels: Daily Drivel, Jukebox
credits to AromaCookery for the pix on the right.
Chocolat N' Spice Muffins for you? li'e and i travelled all the way to Tanjong Pagar this morning to try these yummylicious muffins. not long after getting our muffins, a loooooong queue was formed outside the shop. hello kitty crazed, bubble tea crazed, donuts crazed, and now, MUFFINS crazed! i'm not really a fan of sweet stuffs, but i personally think the muffins tasted great, albeit way too sweet for me. nonetheless, i felt it's worth the trip there! :D
went on to Orchard for more shopping sprees. well, we were just roaming around, wasting our time. we were too worn out by evening, hence we did not go for Cold Rock ice cream afterall. and i'm really sleepy right now.
i'm feeling so mixed up. why must things turn out this way? we were like buddies in the past, and how am i going to face him after the conversation we had last night! i was reminded of the past, and felt really upset by it. sigh, but i felt better after talking to li'e and dong about it. SIGH. i'm sorry, dude...
guess what i'm doing right now? haha. i'm on the phone with li'e, and she's doing some disgusting thing right now. hahaha. time to sing some songs to her.. hahaha!

Knew the signs wasn’t right
I was stupid, for a while
Swept away, by you
And now I feel like a fool
So confused
My heart’s bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach, couldn’t see
We were never met to be
Catch myself, from despair
I could drown if I stay here
Keeping busy, everyday I know I will be ok
But I’m
So confused
My heart’s bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach, couldn’t see
We were never met to be
So much hurt, so much pain
Takes a while to regain
What is lost inside
And I hope that in time
You’ll be out of my mind
I’ll be over you
And know I’m
So confused
My heart’s bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach, couldn’t see
We were never met to be
Out of reach, so far,
You never gave your heart
In my reach, I can see
There’s a life out there for me
am totally in love with this track, which i find myself able to relate to it. darn, i just love tuning to oldies love songs!
alrighty, laters!

Y And now that I'm strong I have figured out, how this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul.
the seconds seems to be ticking away unknowingly day by day. and guess what? in another week or so, my p-period with the company will come to an end! 6 months just whizzes pass me this way, and frankly, i really enjoy working over here. of cause, there's bound to be one or two minus points. but for my case, having wonderful colleagues around is enough to cover up the minus. i look forward to more joy ahead. :D Labels: Daily Drivel
look, i even have colleague who online shopped and shared the overseas shipping cost with me. the above is what i've purchased, and it arrived in less than 2 weeks! from ordering to receiving it, it only took us 1week odd! thanks girl, for ordering and 'delivering' this for me. hee. :)
TP's in less than a month, and i've been booking more and more driving lessons. everything's pretty smooth, 'cept that i'm feeling a teeny-bit stressed after hearing a good friend of mine failed his TP few weeks ago. from my knowledge, he's a pretty steady driver so far, just that he was unlucky enough to meet with a tester who hardly passes Private candidates, so he flunked it with 22 demerit points. :( ah wells, i'll just try my utmost best during my TP and hope for the best. haha!
movies which i've watched so far. these were pretty good! go catch them, since i think they're still new at the Cinemas. teehee. :)
BTW. if you're feeling bored to the core, do check out SibehSian's blog. it's super entertaining, albeit lame. LOL! alrighty, i'm off for lunch. won't be in the office for tomorrow, as i'm involved in this mini book sale at the SCDF (Ubi) bazaar. i hope it'll be fun. i think it'll be lah? since it's gonna be out of the norm.... okay, maybe not. haha!

i've had a wonderful Saturday, so how was yours, peeps? =) Labels: Daily Drivel
made plans to Comex 2007 with a bunch of good pals (han de, jian wen and yun) today. the guys had cravings for some Botak Jones, hence i travelled all the way to Clementi to meet them for it. yes, i know there's one at AMK as well, but well, since i'm the only NORTH person so i guess i had to be the one making sacrifices, no? LOL.
after lunch, we took 106 to City Hall. oh BTW, i think i'm hooked to yun's Nintendo DSLite already! HOW? please stop me if i ever say i wanna buy one for myself one day, because i'm sure some of you know i damn 三分钟热度, so it's a big NO-NO for me to buy such gadget. so remember to stop me okie? :x
shopped around Raffles City awhile, as Han De wants to get something from MPH Bookstore. haha! when we reached the Comex Show, it was already 3pm. oh boy, the fair seems to be so much bigger than the previous ones, with wider walkways and many more exhibits. the 4 of us stayed focused to our target buys (external HDD, speakers & mouse) and began checking out booths are booths comparing prices. basically, all i have to do was to follow and pay, because jian wen was the one helping us to enquire and compare prices of the different brands. spent 3 hours roaming about, and i got myself a 160GB 2.5" Samsung (IDE) external HDD and some new supplies of Imation CD-R. woooohooo, great buys! =)
after we're done with the fair, yun and i had the most insane night ever. we walked so many wasted kilometres and spent some unnecessary moolahs! alright, here goes our story..
Initial Plan 1: Kbox Buffet; Failed.
Reason: $32 Per Pax. 6pm - 9pm. totally not worth it.
Initial Plan 2: Oscar's Dinner Buffet at Conrad; Failed.
Reason: $55++ Per Pax (about $67 Nett). Too expensive, for food which was said to be not that nice.
Initial Plan 3: Ellenborough Market Cafe's Dinner Buffet at Swissotel Merchant Court; Failed.
Reason: Full house. 'nuff said. (we cabbed from Conrad to Merchant court btw. -_-)
and, FINALLY.
we took the train to Holland V, which we were pretty sure there's bound to be SOMETHING for us to eat. haha! and i think we made a very wise choice to Holland V. the streets are filled with such a chilled-out vibe you could not get anywhere else. today, we had chinese cuisine at Crystal Jade Kitchen, which was pretty much a disappointment to me. but, i'm very determined to go back there to try out the rest of the restaurants. and yes, i'm still dying to go WALA WALA! *tugs Eadric korkor's shirt* let's go? LOL! :P
after which, we had our delectable ice cream dessert at Cold Rock Ice Creamery! Cold Rock originated from Australia and opened its first outlet right here in Holland! if you thought IceKimo (Sin Ming Road) was good, this is way better! here you get to choose your choice of ice cream and there's no limit to the mix-ins of your choice! (mix-ins are $1 each). i had Strawberry ice cream with mini m&m and marshmellow mixed. nice like anything! im definitely going back more often, and i simply must try everything! tsk.
hanged out in Cold Rock for quite awhile, chit-chatting with Yun about life and everything. it's been great hanging out this way with ya girl. let's head down to Holland V more often in future! BUT, how come there's no direct buses from Holland V to the north?! that's the reason why i had to resort to take a cab home just now. :P
lastly, something you might dread looking at - our faces. all taken outside Conrad, while waiting for a cab. :x
yun thinks she looks cute in this pix. what do you think? LOL
:)

each time the train passes by that rows of blue flats, my natural reaction was to turn and look to that direction and le heart filled with melancholy. maybe that's the reason why i've not stepped into that area for months... :(
我始终变得 不多愁善感
回忆还像心跳 那么难忘
拥抱的热 还留在我们的身上
缘分却不能反抗
爱人不变朋友实在 太难
希望离别能让 以后
更快乐 更幸福 更美满

Y In the light of the sun, is there anyone?
Labels: Daily Drivel
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 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. Labels: Daily Drivel
...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.

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. :) Labels: Daily Drivel, Jukebox
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! :)
