[The trip to Botanic Gardens]
[The trip to Botanic Gardens....]
Yoz....
Today, i went to the botanic gardens. As u can see from the important dates i have listed out...
Well....i took alot of pics tho...lazy to upload them cos i m tired....i worked at seven today u noe? Took cab cos i was late. i cannot take cab tmr le...cos i am reli broke.
It was quite fun. Cos the children were all enjoying themselves. By rite, it shd be a Teachers' Day celebration. It ended up looking more like Children's day celebration, cos the children are the oni ones laughing. The teachers were too tired to laugh.
For me, i am tired too. Sweat alot today and even got myself tanned. Serious. The contrast between the skin exposed to the sun and the skin that were covered are more obvious now. Oso cos i am easily tanned la...the sun today was reli scotching i tell u.....
But, nonetheless, i still enjoyed myself. In fact, i tink due to the fact that i ate high energy oatmeal breakfast today, i didnt feel so tired even tho i was racing with my chn and chasing them. Yes, u heard me rite. i was running after them and after that, i was racing with them.
And cos they loved it, as they kept asking me to run again or chase them again, i did it again. After all, i loved it when they laughed. They are so cute when they laughed...makes me forget my problems....and stress. Surprisingly huh?
So ya....anyway, after the Malacca trip, was hoping to spend Sat nite with dear. u noe.....Hope i dun return from Malacca at too late a timing.
Hmm....Oh, and mel's prezzie! i better rem that...lately i seemed to owe alot of things, besides my evaluation, my newsletter, and my KIC photo essay. Gosh. Better get started.

[Enjoyed my day....but was reli tired...]
[Reli enjoyed my day]
Yoz....my nose is giving me problems again....
Well, today is quite enjoyable. Dun get me wrong. i didnt go anywhere funky or what. i juz spent the day with dear....who else rite? haha. Dun get me wrong, i love that.
We oni went to Bishan. Dear wanted to go there to buy some game cards for his magic cards i tink. But the shop closed...So we juz walked ard after eating lunch at pasta mania.
Somehow, the al funghi today not nice....too salty. For someone who loves to eat salty food, it's still too salty...so u can imagine it tastes reli bad.
Then, we went to Dome, at Bishan community centre...it's got reli nice ambience...reli like it....tho the food there quite ex...by rite it's oso a kind of cafe cos alot ppl stayed on to read n do work...
We took bus 52 to Bishan. Tho i regret not spending alot of time with dear, (cos i spent most of the time sleeping), i still enjoyed juz chatting with him. We kept talking abt the podcast on Mr. Brownshow.com. It's reli funny...
Then we went to this dinner with his parents...Samatca buddhist thingy....
Quite nice oso cos as dear put it, got free food what! but....too bad dear cant eat much, he is vegetarian...
Reli is going to miss him next weekend....when i go Malacca for the staff retreat....u noe, i reli appreciate juz spending weekend with him, with his silly antics and teasing, tho it's irritating, it's still quite fun. Esp when we joked abt things or when he teased me, i made a comment, and he laughed. i reli love his laughter...
Oh....still wondering wan to change my blogskin again...even tho i oni juz change my blogskin into this...
See how la...for now....i m going to slp....my flu....ugh!

[Pissed off with my bad day]
[P.I.S.S.E.D. off with my bad day]Yoz....to u ppl out there who bothered to read my blog....Well, today is a BAD day. How come? Firstly, my stupid 2 GB thumbdrive died on me. What do i mean by died? Meaning it went crazy. As usual, i was trying to stick my thumbdrive at the com at my workplace. So as to do my work and print them. And then, there was a prompt saying abt "disk G is not formatted. Do u want to format it now?" something like that. Well, u guys who have encountered this, u will noe it means bad news. For me, who is not so IT savvy, i didnt noe what it is abt, oni that the next prompt told me that if i click "yes", it will mean i will lose all my docs. So, this is the time that i start cursing myself for buying a 2 GB thumbdrive. cos, i have alot of documents inside lor!!! Well, i called mel's bf, who is very knowledgeable in IT, and he told me that i can try it on other coms, maybe i wil be able to recover it. And, guess what? i tried it on my labtop, besides trying it on my work place's usb for umpteenth times....THEY ALL PROMPT THE SAME THING. its reli not cool and fun to lose ur docs, esp when the larger memory space ur thumb drive is, the more docs u have. Not to mention my photos, not my personal ones mind u, my work ones! And the most idiotic thing is, i did not backup at all!U will ask me how come rite? Well, it's cos i have never encounter this kind of problem before! my prev thumbdrive is more trustworthy, tho the memory space is like 128mb oni....but, at least even if i lose my docs, it's oni a little.....i lost almost 1gb worth of things....who ask me to go and buy the 2gb one? N can u tell me, what gd is a 2 gb thumbdrive if i have to backup? i purposely buy a 2gb one so that i can save docs inside rather than in my labtop...i dun wan my labtop to hang or something...esp now that my hse com died....So now, i dun trust my 2gb thumbdrive, n i find it stupid that i have to backup...cos i dun have so much space too....now i m thinking abt getting another thumbdrive, one whereby it's branded or something. Tho i never felt before brand has to do with it...since my trustworthy 128mb thumbdrive is oso not branded....Haiz. Gonez means Gonez. no point thinking abt it. Wonder if it has to do with the developing at the photoshop oso. The coms there ah, cannot read my 2gb thumbdrive u noe? the lady has to keep disconnect n reconnect alot of times before the stupid coms were able to read my thumbdrive....i tink thats it u noe...Cos the first time i rem, when i used my thumbdrive the next day at workplace, the com at my work place took a long time to read my thumbdrive, which previously never happen before. n i dun think it's my thumbdrive cos i used it at my workplace, my labtop, all ok leh...its oni at that shop the lady has to keep taking my thumbdrive in and out, which is not gd as she didnt use the safety thing....Oh well. its done oredi. Lucky thing is i haven start sch. i cant imagine my horror when my assignments cannot be read. Tink i can kill myself. So that is another reason y i wan to invest on another thumbdrive. u noe, solely for word docs....photos will be kept in this 2GB one...Anyway, the second bad thing that happened to me that made me pissed off was....this caucasian going bald man. This morning, as usual, i was rushing for work cos i m running late. Then after i alight at CCK station, as usual, i walked down the stairs. Sounds like a normal day huh?Then, cos i was rushing, i wanted to walk reli fast down the stairs. But cos there was this caucasian going-bald guy in front of me, despite my obvious hints of wanting to walk down fast and wanting him to move to his right to give way since it's empty, (purposely hit my heels hard on the concrete, if u noe wat i mean), he didnt. Now, u will say i shd say "Excuse me?" rite? but i dun want to sound rude, cos rite at that moment i was running late so i was oredi feeling irritated that he is walking so slowly, i m afraid if i say "excuse me", it will sound very rude, as i did that before. So i tot, nvm, once he reached the bottom, he wud walk faster. wrong. He slowed down even more. Naturally, i was keeping my pace, cos i dun want to go any slower, n maybe i was starting to pick up my pace, cos i tot he will move faster.Wrong again. i accidentally kicked his shoe cos i knocked onto him. Since i was oredi irritated, i accidentally let out the famous "tsk" sound. Cos i didnt expect that he wud be slower n i wud knocked into him.Then, guess Mr. Gentleman's reaction. He turned ard, saw that it was me who made the "tsk" sound, and turned back. THEN, he mumbled quite audibly, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Duno wat the fuck is your problem."Wow! Whatever happen to the so called saying, ''caucasian-guys-are-more-gentlemen-than-asian-guys?'' Tell u, to me, thats bull shit. Guys are all the same. Be it caucasian or not. Anyway, since i heard it, of cos i wun be scolded without a rebutt, after all, i was oredi irritated. Never catch me in a bad mood or make me mad, i tell u, cos sometimes even i myself duno wat i will do. i replied, quite loudly, not mumbling, "Also duno what the fuck is your problem!" and walked out of the gate. i duno whether he replied to my comment, cos i didnt hear anything from him. At least not within my audible range.Seriously, what's his problem? Ugh. i am still bothered abt my thumbdrive, trying to recall what i need to redo again....Anyway, gtg....will blog again...

Long awaited photos....
[The long awaited photos......]Yoz.....it's been quite some time since i blog? yes? Anyway....i finally decided to upload my photos....it will be filled with different photos ah....birthday ones, fireworks, and even one on my 'tour' with dear....yup....First.....the photos are from my birthday ones...it's not alot cos i didnt upload all....call me lazy:)
Blissful me! Holding the bouquet of flowers that dear bought for me....White lilies u noe! Too bad i didnt take a photo of the bag he gave me....it's reli nice too....dear sure knows i have a thing for bags....
Both of us....at...Out of the pan. Actuali, i wun recommend tis place.....even if u are crazy abt crepes.
The salad....hmm.....it tasted so so oni....poor dear paid so much like wasted....
The crepes! Well, i feel that The Village's one is better....oh wellz....i still appreciate the fact that dear took the trouble to treat me...
Well, for me, this is the best dish they have. The yummy mushroom soup. The price is oso yummy. Guess how much is this bowl of mushroom soup? $7.50 ok? ard there la, i dun rem the exact price, but i rem its abt seven bucks....damn ex....
Dear eating his crepes....hee.
Us:)Really muz thank Ash for letting me take leave on my birthday...cos she oso wanted to, but in the end she gave way to me...very nice of her. Up next.... the national day fireworks....quite pretty....
And the night view of Esplanade...
And lastly, i will be uploading the photos i took when dear suddenly came up with the idea of having tours on sat. Since we have no place to go and we are sort of on budget, he planned that every sat we will go on tours, ard Singapore. Last Sat, guess where we went? i will upload the following photo n u guess ah.....
Well, have any idea? No? Do u tink it's some park? Well, look at it again....
Have any idea abt where this is? Hee...it sure looks secluded aye? No, in case u are having any dirty thoughts, we didnt go there for any hanky panky. Still have no idea? What abt this photo? Does it give u more clue as to where we went?
Alot of pails ya? This will tell u we are defnitely not up to any hanky pankies. Well, for those who have guessed it, congrats. For those who havent, and those who are unsure, i shall now tell u the answer.....This place is..................THE SEMBAWANG HOT SPRING! Yup, the oni natural hot spring in Singapore. A few yrs back there were some hoo-ha abt this spring, which cause alot of kiasu singaporeans to flock there. Last time, i heard there were no concrete floors, it's all muddy and dirty. Well, now it looks so much better. Tho it doesnt look like a paradise, still, it's not muddy. Look at how dear was enjoying himself...soaking his feet into the pail filled with the hot spring water.
His "smelly" feet
It's me! Duh...go there of cos muz at least try soaking my feet too la....heard it's gd for blood circulation....
My "smelly" feet....
Tell u, we are not the oni ppl who do that. Alot of ppl go there, took the pails that are found there, and filled it with hot spring water. In fact, that's considered normal. What's weird is that there are alot of uncles who go there and bath. Yes, bath. There are some bath tubs there, and they juz filled it with water, and bathed. Well, of cos i didnt take any photos on that, cos it's not oni gross, but oso invading other people's privacy. On the whole, quite fun....Oh ya! Duno what happen to dear, suddenly want to be vegetarian. Weird huh? it's suddenly kind. So Sat, after the hot spring, we went to Little India and had this vegetarian meal. We have been there before. Quite tasty de...And, i juz handed in my second payment for my sch fees....Gonna start sch soon! Thats all for now...*yawnz*

[Worried abt the future...or rather our future..]
[Worried....abt alot of things....]Heyz....to u ppl....Ya, it's been quite some time since i last blog? yes? Anyway, i have alot of photos to upload....but i am kind of lazy to do it rite now....For starters, i need to upload my birthday photos....it was a great day....even tho dear dropped me a bomb(i shall not talk abt it), but it was beautiful as he gave me a bouquet of flowers and a pretty bag. Well, i love the flowers. it is quite huge, even tho dear said he wud have given me a bigger one if he didnt buy the bag....Well, as u ppl noe, i love white lilies with baby breaths and lavender. These are my fav. Not the traditional roses...so i was touched he bought white lilies for me. Even tho it's minus baby breaths and lavender....but still, it's white lilies! haha....Oh well, besides that, he brought me out to eat. Eh...out of the pan, at raffles city. The food wasnt very nice. But cos dear brought me there...i cant say not nice as i m afraid it might look like i dun appreciate his effort. But....cute and blunt him, started saying the crepe sux....even the village's crepe is better..... Wellz...despite that, i still appreciate his effort. I noe he spent alot that day. Looking at how big the bouquet of flowers are...i can roughly tell....so dear, if u are reading this, thank you for everything u have done on that day. i reli appreciate it. Maybe that is why i am afraid. Cos....alot of things happened....or is going to happen...for starters, both he and me, we are going to be very very busy. His sch term is starting....and so is mine....n mind u, both of us are working and studying at the same time. For him, studying is full time, work(tuition) is part time. For me, work is full time, sch is part time. So....we have lesser time to spend together. i hope he is over his past. ya. cos i m worried abt his tuition. But.... like the saying goes, if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. If he is mine, no matter what happens, he will still be mine...So ya. i am worried abt our future. Anyway, besides this, i am oso worried abt my job. Seriously, i tink my sup will sack me, or she has a bad impression of me. she might tink i m purposely one. Cos, i just took a 2 days mc on thurs n fri. i was reli sick...with flu n throat n fever. But still, i believe she wonders why i m always sick n regrets to hire n can u imagine, confirm me. Ya, n i wish so much to tell her, that i did not take her forgranted. Serious. i m touched by her kindness n gentleness n her looking past my flaws to decide to confirm me. i m not like, purposely take advantage of her by always take mc. But judging by the amt of mc i took, i wonder if she believes i m sick.Cos even i myself cant believe why i am always sick. Serious. Even when i was studying, oso not so easily sick lor! Ugh. Is it i m not suited for this line? This is what i am thinking abt cos of my ex boss. Haiz. So worried abt work. Well, reli miss seeing some of my friends...even sean. haha. Well, talking abt him, he called me a few days back. That fella ah, no longer playing com games to kill time. ask me to borrow vcd. Can u imagine? VCD? he muz be real bored! watever happen to the ah beng u tel me? now he sounds like an auntie who kill time by watching soap operas n drama serials. Talk abt boring.Hmm...wat else....oh ya. yest. talking abt it makes my blood boil. Went to watch fire works. like wat dear said, it's the last time i am going to watch it. Bloody pointless lor. Tho the fireworks are nice, do u noe the amt of ppl watching it? Damn many lor. we wanted to wait for the crowd to disperse then go home, cos dun wan to squeeze on train. Then u noe wat? From abt nine thirty, me and the gang were sitting at tis cafe at citylink. Then, we played uno to kill time. from nine thirty, all the way to eleven thirty, the amt of ppl walking thru the passageway to mrt, is the SAME! can u imagine??? So many ppl lor! and for 2 bloody hrs, still so many ppl. Then comes the worse part. fion wanted to go off first cos eleven plus quite late le. Then, kevin sent her home, which is of cos de la. So they had to squeeze with the crowd. Then, the rest of us oso decided to go off cos late le, very tired le. since we dun wan to squeeze with ppl on train, we decided to share cab.Tell u, it's a bloody bad move. this is the first time i actuali wanted to kill the cabbies and the passengers waiting for cabs. Ok. We waited for abt one hr for the cab k? Due to 2 stupid reasons, not cos there are sooo many ppl in front of us. First, there was this stupid (i even want to scold more vulgar words lor!) grp of friends in front of me. There were abt 4 of them. Juz lik there were 4 of us. But unlike us, whereby we share the cab, they each took a cab. mind u, 4 of them, like us, 2 couples lor. and why the hell are they taking cab alone? couples? alone??? whatever happen to guy muz send girl home cos late oredi that kind of thing? u tell me ah. For once ah, i actuali join in the cursing with dear. Serious. i dun even care when the last guy who sent his gf off, heard it. i mean. 4 of them, like wat dear has hilariously put it, dun tell me they each live in north(toa payoh), south(marina), west(jurong) and east(pasir ris)? Honestly, there are so many ppl waiting for cabs, they rather wait longer, pay the midnight charge, than share cab so that one cab can send them to all their destination?Well, one might say maybe if they share cab, it's not on the way, so very ex. But i tell u, unless they reli so qiao stay north, south, east, west, it's not more ex lor! Comparing to the midnight charge n everything! Honestly, these ppl, can be soooo kiam.Secondly, why we took so long is that the cabs, all seem to disappear before the midnight charge. Seriously, during eleven something, there werent much cabs. Then, at twelve, there were more! n the most irritating thing is, there is one cabbie, who drove in, but did not take any passenger, cos his cab put, "busy". not on call ok, it's "busy".Ya, he is "busy" all rite, he alighted from his cab, parked his cab at the stand there, and went for a smoke! he is obviously waiting for the midnight charge to come! Ugh!!! Winz le. Sianz lor. in the end, we of cos, managed to get a cab, n kena the midnight charge, n u noe wat? kevin reached home while we were on cab. Seriously, suddenly squeezing with ppl sounds more attractive. ya, so talking abt fireworks, i took some pics too. quite gd ah. luckily i carry my camera wherever i go. unluckily, it was kind of laggy cos, i did not upload my prev photos....like my birthday ones n my work ones....Well, shall upload them soon......keep a lookout for it, heh...

my 21st.....so old?
[Going to be 21.....in less than 43mins....]Heyz...to u ppl out there....Well....many things happened the past few days....First thing is...i am going to be 21 soon....like in less than 43 mins. Hmm. i took leave to enjoy this day that i was born into this world 21 yrs ago. Gosh. i juz cant believe i am 21 soon. i guess i am living in denial...haha. Perhaps it's cos i dun feel any diff from the past yrs....i tot 21 is supposed to be u noe, grown up etc...? Anyway, my dad bought me a cool prezzie.... he let me choose what i want to buy la.... At first he said he wants to buy me necklace, then he said he tot of bringing me out to choose the design i want rather than he go buy himself. So, as promised, he brought me out to jp with my bro.We went SK la, soo kee la, lee hwa la, etc.... u name it. Every jewellery shop i went in with them. Then....i caught my eye on this purple gold ring at lee hwa! So nice...like a leaf design noe...then guess wat? The price oso nice....700 plus....for a ring. Well, my dad told me his budget is like abt 200-400. So cant buy.....Well, actuali i m ok with it. Serious. Tho my fav color is purple, but seriously, i dun need such an expensive ring. Well, i am actuali surprised. Cos i tot my dad will force me to buy necklace, since he said he wanted to buy me a necklace....in the end when i saw that so-exp purple gold leaf design ring, he said it's ok if i want a ring instead of a necklace, as long as it's special and i can keep it. i tot that is reli sweet and open minded of my dad. Sometimes i tink i misunderstand him. So, my dad actuali felt bad he wasnt able to buy me the purple gold ring. Well, reli, i dun mind at all. After all, i m not someone that is very into diamond, gold kind of jewellery. i rather the design look great, fashionable n cool rather than have it with gems n look...well, juz glittery. Dun get me wrong. i love blings n glitters. But seriously, firstly, i have some le, even tho not worth as much, but look juz as nice. Secondly, i felt that the designs of these expensive diamonds n gems are similar....n i wun have the occasion to wear it. i mean, there are oni so much wedding dinners u can go to. So, i didnt choose any necklace in the end as they are all either full of colorful gems or plain glittery diamonds. Cos the ones that are nice are either i oredi hav similar design and oso not much occasion to wear, or too ex. Then the ones that are to me, not so uniquely nice, are the ones where i can wear commonly out...which are simple patterns like heart shape....etc. Seriously, do u tink i wan my dad to spend so much $ on something so....plain, n that i can buy similar ones outside that are cheaper? Well, tho i admit the purple gold series are unique, meaning i cant get it anywhere else...but the nice and big ones are expensive and the smaller design ones are not reli nice....cos not much purple gold....like wats the point?So well, guess what i got in the end? Look at the pictures n see for urself....i dun think it's clear enuf cos of the lights' reflection....but....i reli like the prezzie. 
i bought from Citigems in the end....i feel their designs are more for youngsters?maybe thats the reason why their spokesperson are Fiona n Joanne? 
Black with white gold and diamonds....not too much of them, but not too little either....that's why o cant take a proper pic, keep reflecting off my flash n bedroom light....
Clearer?? hmm....So well....what do u think? i dun care what u tink, cos it's my prezzie.....=)Hmm.....besides this, i actuali feel very secure and happy with my r/s for the first time in so many yrs.....i tink i am finally able to reli communicate n have serious talks with my dear....a new improvement for my r/s.....so i m glad....i m beginning to see some future in us....=)Hmm...yest went pizza hut with mandy...glad she passed her field supervision....even tho she was sad it was not a gd pass, but at least it's a pass....if not it's reli troublesome for her....anyway, kind of sad she is leaving us so soon...gosh...time reli flies...it's been like 2 mth plus...reli glad to noe her n have her in my class...esp during this crazy period when every teacher is busy, with QCC n MCYS coming down to check...plus kids-in-charge in sept...reli going nuts. Well, here is the photo we took at pizza when we want to destress....by eating! hee...
muz thank her too....for her help n giving me discount at settlers... Well....tmr....hmm....hope i will have a happy birthday....not entirely sure what i m going to do, tho i am going out with dear....hmm...but as long as both of us enjoy it...i m fine....ya....that's all for now....
