Midnight Breeze

Sunday, December 06, 2009

The wind's so chilly tonight this morning. My toes are feeling quite frozen.

No, I'm just joking.

Somehow, I'm indulging in retail therapy.

There are just so many things I want to buy!

1. Blusher/contour palette
2. A new wallet
3. A camera case (I'm bored of the boring CANON)
4. A lanyard for my phone and camera
5. Hair ties
6. Oxford booties
7. More outerwears
8. School books for next semester.

I have to earn some money first.

Crosses fingers.

Iron With War

Wednesday, December 02, 2009

Guess what!

The first movie poster of the oohlala greatness of all great Iron Man 2 is out!

credit to twominutenews

I love action heroes and all other supernatural beings (i.e. vampires, werewolves, people with special powers basically).

AND

I love action packed shows that have action heroes! Like, firing super guns (war machine!) and crashing into buildings yada yada.

Totally awesome.

New Moon is coming out this Thursday.

I'm re-reading the 4 part books again just to bask myself in Edward's icy looooveeee. Yums!

Meeting Shing for lunch at Ding Tai Feng and then going to go out with Sherms later. More shopping!

Oh, my family is back from Macau. My parents + Bro are flying to Thailand for Christmas and Sister and I are flying to BKK to meet them on the 27th. And guess what? They're going to London after New Year's. WITHOUT ME. HELLO?!

Sigh.

Okay byebye.

hocus pocus

Shanghai (K)nights

Tuesday, December 01, 2009

Whoopeedeedoo!

Of course I didn't pay $1,000+ for my flight - I'm flying FREE! First class! YAY! JEALOUS? JEALOUS? Beat that, suckers! :):):)

I'm flying off to Shanghai in about a week and that is so effing coolios!

I'm not apprehensive about my lonesome trip. Just excited yet scared. Anticipating it yet dreading it.

Traveling alone is always something challenging but ... shrugsandgetsonwithlife

Scared because I'm afraid my command of Mandarin isn't sufficient enough for me to 1) get good shopping bargains (then again, what can I buy during the Winter season? Bags and woolen scarves maybe?) 2) ask for directions 3) call for help if I need it (choi!)

I'm scared too because I don't like taking a taxi alone from airports to hotels unless in Bangkok. I'm reeeeaaaallllly dreading the time when I touch down in Pudong International Airport - collect my luggage(s) - get through immigration - hail a cab - tell the taxi driver where to go.

But I could just print this and shove it in the taxi uncle's face, right?


I'll be spending 5 nights at Shanghai New Harbour Service Apartments.

Judging from comments on tripadvisor.com, SNH seems to be awesomepawsome and I totally can't wait to check into my apartment! It's USD$66/night which totals up to somewhat close to SGD$500. The place better make the money worth it.

Must have comfortable beds with pillows that are neither too hard nor soft, squeaky sparkling clean toilets with a proper showering area (so that the toilet floor doesn't get wet) (I hate wet toilet floors - it makes me want to gag), killer view and yeah, nice TV channels for me to watch when I'm bored. BUT I'll prolly most definitely go online when I'm bored. Yeppers, going to bring Mackie (amongst other homely items) over to keep me company!

The apartment's a nice 70sqm and yeah, it looks nice! Got kitchen somemore leh! Must remember to bring cup noodles. Hoho.

Oh. Yeah, it's like, 4 degrees over there now. That's anytime better than Beijing which is at a freezing -4! Brrr. The coldest places I've been to would be Toronto which was at a whooping -30+ degrees in the night and the Swiss Alps! I've never been to a cold place alone before :( Who's going to help me pack my luggage? Sniffs.

I've been (sort of) planning my itinerary listing and categorizing places to go to, places to eat at, places to drink at, places to shop at, places to look at etc. I'll have to properly do them up into days. Yums. Work.

(sidetrack a little)

Speaking of work, Urban Econs was a horror for me. I'm all to blame for not studying. If I get a C, I'm happy enough. Not. Of course, I would wish for a B-/B/B+ but I know that's certainly not possible so yeah, I'm hoping for a C+/C. Please no D. I'll cry my eyeballs out of their sockets!

Alright, I shall go to bed now. The house is empty. Everyone is still in Macau/Hong Kong/Zhu Hai having fun without me. Gah. I have to sleep alone in this cold chilly house underneath the comfort of my blankie.

Meeting Diya later on for Lunch and BBTEA! Whoopies!

BYE!

Sunday, November 29, 2009

Fishcakes!

Urban Econs is tomorrow and I swear I'm so going to get a panic attack when I'm sitting for the paper.

I have uhm roughly 3 things that I'm worried for now.

NO MONEY
URBAN ECONS
SHANGHAI

Gah.

I need to dispel the spending urge in me. GO AWAY! SHOO!

P/S: Just got myself a $100 kino voucher and come Wednesday, I'm going to get meself loads of books to ride me through Shanghai!

Okay, I'm gg back to Urban Transportation.

MONEY! COME COME COME!

tonight is the night of all evil

Yesterday

Friday, November 13, 2009

Ryan, YTH, Victor and me went over to Sunshine Plaza for lunch after the last IEB class of the Semester.

When we were going to head back to school, it started pouring.

"Aiyah, suan la, let's go play Left 4 Dead!" - Victor

We were all agreeable

until ...

YTH changed his mind.

In the end, we had to wait 1.5hours for the rain to (sort of) stop and even asked KeithOngSong to bring us umbrellas.

While back in school, the 3 of us, Ryan, Victor and me, were so bored and Ryan was like, "we should have just gone to play L4D".

Victor and I concurred.

I want to play L4D2.

Anyhoos, going for Starry later and I've not even bathed.

Action For A for Aids

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

Just got one with my presentation for PR Strategy. Presented to the class, my client (Action for Aid) and Prof.

And it was BAD.

I somehow wished they didn't speak more than they should have.

BAH.

My group was the WORST.

Week 12

Tuesday, November 03, 2009

Well, I am farken dead for COMM215. I just totally failed my second quiz. Like, totally.

How strange I am dead for a communications module.

Anyhow, I just can't wait for the end of Week 12 (i.e. this Thursday) because that would mean several things for me:

1. A weekend getaway to Melaka with the boyfriend
2. 3 more weeks till the School ends for this semester
3. Lesser workload
4. More time to prepare for Finals (the only way I can salvage this Semester's GPA)
5. Winter holidays are coming which means ... holiholiday! 6 days in Shanghai, 1 week in Columbia, 4 days in Bangkok!
6. A new Semester awaits in Spring 2010 and of course ...
7. The boyfriend's birthday

*********

In COMM215 now, and I am totally dreading this lesson. You wouldn't know what I would give to get out of class; utterly detesting this class. A large percentage of my hate derives from my potentially horrendous grades that I'll get.

*********

Quickdates:

Went for All Souls Day service yesterday (: Said my prayers for Mama

Celebrated BFF's Wany's birthday last Thursday at Hooters and had loads of fun!

Celebrated Ee-ee's birthday at Chinese Swimming Club with great buffet albeit me eating awfully little, something very usual of me to do.

Left 4 Dead 2's demo version is OUT! I can't wait to play it! WHEE!

Received Edmund's birthday present for me! Specially flown through carrier all the way from Sweden and guess what! It's an awesomely chio handbag in peach-red!

*********

Things I want to get:

1. New ATH headphones
2. Nice reliable mouse in red
3. Lanyard for my mobile
4. Rayman 2 for my WiiWii

Okay, actually the list is really long but these are the "bigger" items.

*********

Finally bidded for next Semester's modules. Thank goodness Nah reminded me (unintentionally) otherwise I would have totally missed BOSS. Boo.

Bidded for:

Labour Economics
Economics of Politics
History of Asia: Culture, Politics and Economics

I need to bid for:
Persuasion
PR Writing
Global Mega Trends

HMM.

Okay, to compensate for my absence in COMM215 the previous weeks, I shall attempt to listen.

Wish me luck!

P/S: CAN'T WAIT FOR FRIDAY!!!
PP/S: Can't wait for TVD's next episode!

Little Nonya

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

I am proud to have Peranakan roots. It makes me happy because Peranakan food is ohmyholygoose yummy goody! The food is really too good to be true.

I just had yummylicious kueh pai ti and popiah all done in the Peranakan way thanks to Ee-ee who is a superb cook. Of course, Sa Yi Po is the best Peranakan cook I've ever known. I've not had home cooked food in a gazillion years and I was mad happy to eat the awesome pawsome kueh pai ti and popiah just now! (: I can still taste the popiah cai. Hehh.

And it'll be just a week and a half before I set off to Melaka. I used to go to Melaka ever so often with my parents till I practically knew the place at my fingertips. It'll be my second time going up on a coach (the first was when I was in P6!) so I can only hope it wouldn't be sucky. There's one sucky thing already though - the coach leaves at 1430hrs; I usually leave Melaka after dinner when we drive up. Sigh. If only they had coaches bound for Singapore at a later time.

But there's something else that's making me uber happy ...

I'll be going with the boyfriend! (:

I, of course, will be the tour guide. Going to bring him to all the yummy food places and see all the great things and tell him the history of Peranakan. No kidding!

It'll be our first trip overseas together and I definitely want more to come (:

P/S: Boyfriend's birthday in slightly less than a month! HMM. Shan't reveal anything here since YOU read my blog. Tsktsktsk.
PP/S: Mad happy I got 2 As for my 2 PR quizzes (:
PPP/S: Had an awesome weekend (:

On My Radar

Sunday, October 25, 2009

Well well, let's see what has happened over the past 3 weeks since I last blogged.

****

Got myself a console game - the Wii with tonnes of games sans, of all things, Rayman (getting that soon!) and goodbye $400.

Had a brunch buffet (goodbye $500+) with the family and got dunked, surprisingly. Went home happy with the many presents and a basket, literally, of big fat angbaos. Thank goodness for money-loaded relatives.

Booked an apartment at Somerset Compass Serviced Apartment for the 17th Oct ($400 flew from my money bank again! But it was worth!) and had the few close friends over. Special thanks to all those who were there - boyfriend, McRon, Molly, Cheh Cheh, YanLing, YanLing's Friend, Alana, Bee, Fariz, Fadz, Wany, Keith, Victor, Joshua, Joel, Zhi Kai, Gerald, Joanne, Diya, Johnson, Luther, Denzil, Holly (: Much love and thanks goes out to you all.

Turned 21 on the 18th Oct and didn't get myself drunk. Hoho. Surprise surprise. Said a nice prayer to gramps telling her it was my birthday and that she's deeply missed (: Thank God for allowing me to live to 21.

Went for a HIV test for fun (HAHA!). Negative. $30. Practice protected and safe sex.

Booked my Shanghai 9th-14th Dec flight.

Booked my Melaka 6th-8th Nov trip.

UHM. I don't remember what else. Maybe it's because my life is nothing but boring yawns dull days and nights. Been skipping school quite a bit. Don't ask me why. I see no motivation for me to go to school. I spend less time in school than working. Hallelujah?

Anyway, I have helluva work to do but I feel sooooo lazy.

Still thinking of the possibility of exchange.

Still thinking of where else to go during the Winter holidays. Sister suggested going to Columba or whatever that is in Sri Lanka. Dad's bent on heading to Europe. I don't mind take a trip to Melbourne. And Bangkok's definitely on the itinerary.

****

I have this list of things that I want to get and I am slowly checking them off and that really makes me happy! (:

Okay, I love my boyfriend. Very muchies. We went for Nai Nai's burpdays dinner; twas weird initially but things warmed up after thanks to boyfriend's crazywhooped uncles (:

I want to sleep but I am slowly doing my DMA work.

I need to see the Sun. I feel like a vampyre. Gah.

Headache.

Okay, back to work and a boring life.

P/S: 2 more years till whether my premonition actually comes true.
PP/S: I am one unhealthy person :(

i like my new bunny suit

Longing

Friday, October 02, 2009

You know what I am longing for?

One good entire day spent NOT worrying/thinking/talking about ANY school-related stuff.

I feel so much more terrible after my Midterms than before it started!

I have crap loads on my hands (and I know so do the other SMUers) that I don't even know where to begin. I feel so much like just curling up in my bed and sleeping many many days and many many nights away.

Again, I am having a massive headache out of the blue. My world is topsy now. I hate my neurons. I hate the vessels attached to my brain.

URGH.

This shit hole is hard to live in.

P/S: on to my 7th Sookie Stackhouse novel, All Together Dead
PP/S: boyfriend says we, the both of us, are to go to Melaka (pardon the Peranakan spelling, it's in the roots) for a short getaway end November. Woots :)
PPP/S: I am still in a dilemma regarding my December plans. Shanghai, 9th - 14th. Brussels and Paris 14th - 21st. Bangkok 29th - 31st. How? :(

Wednesday

Wednesday, September 30, 2009

Today, I have my final paper for my Mid Terms.

Wait, not today but TONIGHT.

I will be sitting for my International Economics B paper at 8:30pm. Good golly.

After my MTs, what do I do?

1. Finish up my Social Media Release assignment
2. Start on my Negotiation report
3. Start on my Social Media project interviews
4. Finally begin on my Urban economics project

That sucks :(

The only thing keeping me going at the moment is reading the Sookie Stakehouse novels, otherwise known as the TrueBlood series. Currently onto my 5th book in uhm, less than 4 days. Can't wait for Season 3 of TrueBlood to show on HBO! Which would be next spring :( But anyhow, the show's pretty different from the books, I must say. For example, Godric isn't Eric's maker ... according to the book. HMM. Nevertheless, Charlaine Harris is one good writer.

dead as a doornail

The Boyfriend

Sunday, September 27, 2009

The boyfriend ...

makes me smile
makes me laugh
makes my heart race
makes me go crazy
is honest
is caring (in his own way)
is hilarious
is r.e.a.l.

loves me.

'Nuff said.

:)

P/S: supposed to be studying really hard but I've succumbed to the Sookie Stakehouse novels! Onto my 3rd book in less than 24hours. Nice.
PP/S: I just wish Thursday would come soon, then I would have so much more time for myself.
PPP/S: I'm having an odd life.

Murderer

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

I am my own murderer.

I wish I could say life is going well. But in fact, it is not really going very well.

How much I wish I could just slip into oblivion and never ever wake up (could prolly come true) so that I can escape from all the deep ruts I keep finding myself trapped in and falling into.

On a side note, as of today, the boyfriend and I have been together for 180odd days and counting. He is the only person who is able to make up for the sad sad feelings I am experiencing in school, with school, at home, with my family, at work, with work and everything else. I am so thankful for the boyfriend. The best. Happy 6th, baby :)

I shall go off to do my school work. Heaps of it and slowly but surely, I'll find myself buried alive by it.

Mark my words, my end is drawing near.

Midnight Soccer

Friday, September 18, 2009

Well, the boyfriend is out playing soccer. At midnight.

And here I am ... at home, struggling with my International Economics and cooking for tomorrow's lunch for the bowlers. Okay, scratch that, I'm not cooking; I am preparing to cook for tomorrow.

Gah.

So far, today alone, I have watched the latest episode of True Blood, the latest 2 episodes of The Vampire Diaries and the first episode of the latest season of One Tree Hill.

Very sad that Season 2 for True Blood has ended! Sometimes, I find Sookie so annoying I feel like plucking out her two front teeth. At times, I admire her bravery.

Of course, I love Vampires. I just love everything about them. Maybe I wouldn't mind having to role-play a "vampiric act". But I would probably react in a different way if I were to come face to face with a real vampire (if any). The Vampire Diaries have been criticised to be just another Twilight kinda show. I would not disagree. It is! It revolves around the same plot. What keeps me excited is how Damon will lure Elena (reminds me of Eric trying to get Sookie).

Anymore vampire-ish shows around? I remember how I used to love watching Buffy. And Angel. Aww.

Okay, so One Tree Hill is on to Season 7. Great first episode, I would say. But why no Peyton and Lucas? :( I want to see how they've grown. And Brooke is just so stunning! Urgh. I want her dresses! Haha!

And how could I forget .... I watched Gossip Girl! Finally, the season 3 is out and running! Totally loving Serena's model shoot on the horse and chuck bass's ever charming suit ensemble. Rarr. Blair looks skinnier in this Season, by the way. Oh yes, do check out Leighton's new songs! (: Her voice is refreshing!

Okay, I think it's time I try to study.

***********

I think I am too clingy.

Am I?

bear the pain while it lastst

The Piano Woman

I miss the touch of the piano keys.

I miss hearing the tones from the piano keys.

I miss the feeling I get when I play the piano.

*************

Anyway, School has been busy. It is not easy to juggle working and studying. I barely have enough time to study. I study in the night and then when I have to wake up early for School, I find myself having massive headaches.

AGAIN.

SUniG is tomorrow. I pray that SMU will do well enough to be in the tops.

That reminds me, I have an e-mailer to send out.

And lunch to make for 20pax tomorrow.

P/S: A lot of people are using Macbooks now. I wonder if they're using it just 'cause it's cool or are they using it for what it is good for - photo editing, video editing etc. Shrugs.

apologize

Full Blown

Saturday, September 12, 2009

Urgh.

School is getting in on me.

Enough said.

Just can't wait to spend quality time with the boyfriend.

Virtual

Tuesday, September 08, 2009

Why do people want to post videos of themselves engaging in sexual acts with someone else on the Internet?

Honestly speaking right, I find it disgusting.

Yes.

Even more so since the newest video is of two Singaporean undergraduates.

Mackie, My New Best Friend

Friday, September 04, 2009

In this very post, I would like to hereby introduce to you my newest best friend ...

MACKIE ANN PROLEI

Yeps! I finally got myself a Macbook Pro 13"!

Totally loving it even after splurging a total of $2.1k on it and an iTouch and an additional $89 on a totally awesome RED casing (:

I apologize for the lack of updates because I simply have no time. School, work and studies are taking quite a bit of time off me. I have to buck up this Semester to float my GPA.

Anyway, I'm going to Shanghai in December for a short 5 day trip. Going to crash Sethsy's BSM! Woohoo!

Okay, back to studying.

Till the next time, lovelies!

P/S: the population of people using a Mac has increased drastically. I wonder how Bill Gates feels about this.

in time to come

Personal Vendetta Against Myself

Thursday, August 27, 2009

I dread going to school.

Really.

I dropped one module.

Really.

Because I want to earn money.

REALLY!

But then again, if I want to earn big bucks, I have got to make it big in the corporate world and that is not easy. For me, at least.

Because I am a stupid shithead.

This semester has never been any worst than it is now.

Someone, help.

P/S: Sorry to everyone and anyone if I don't say hello to you when I see you on campus. Just haven't been my usual self because of everything else.

sardonic flavor
