concert

went to watch a band concert with wang. starts at 7.30 and it seems to be neverending!!! sat at our seats for two and a hlaf hours for a supposedly 103 mins show. the band played a star wars song and a wedding song. i was wondering when they will play pirates of the carribean cos that song is super nice!!! but they din. den the rest sound similar and i dozed off for half an hour or so.

night scene outside esplanade. its like a super bright city on the sea.


took pics of us all dressed up. i wore a pink dress and wang was in long sleeved shirt and jeans. we look damn retarded but who cares!! have to admit we sttracted quite a few discriminating glares tho haha.

took pics again. den i got slightly pissed off cos wang keep blinking and looking unprepared when i took pics.

sat sulking den wang pressed some coins into my hand. i looked down and saw they were couple rings instead!! we went to tm earlier to look at them and he got them without my knowledge.
he do that after he noe my ring size that snaeky little devil. my size is 11 while his is 22. 22 is jus right to pass hisknuckle but too loose to rest nicely on his finger. haha

unsure of how to show it off.


NICE:)



the night had a very happy ending. muack to a wang!!
reached home at 11.30pm. splat onto bed.

fireworks and my liberation

on my last day of work, wang brought me to the beach to play with fire. it was $4 for six boxes of six, which i tot was quite ex, since the wind at the beach is so huge those sticks couldn't last over a minute each.


my wang responsible for binging light into the night! he spoiled THREE lighters in the meantime tho.

look horrigible here but they were actually a brilliant green:)

anticipating... i hate myself looking haggard.

Back at work, i just realise i am responsible for 91 files!!!!! have to change their cover sheets and side labels and content pages and dividers in two weeks till i practically go mad and suffer severe backache. but i did not do any OT tho. man, i must be superhuman.

that day me and francis were crawling ard on the floor arranging those impossible files when the client, watching all the time, said lets go for dinner later, his treat.

at 5.30, we called a cab and francis suggested sakura, much to my dismay, cos i dun feel like eating buffet.

it is $24 per pax, and we have to wait till 6 to start, and were den ushered in promptly.

and wad the hell, it was so cool!!!!!!! i brought back fake sharksfin soup, which for some reason taste so much better den the parkway branch. den i had lasagne, which looks too freaky to be blogged. den i skipped main course and directly plunge into desserts. clockwise: siew mai, terriyaki chicken, durian puff, blackforest, eclair and banana crumble.

and OMG i tell u that freaky eclair has this super cooling, creamy custard filling!! i think i had arounds 5 of that.


they even have their own seafood bar!!!
den sushi bar.

there's oso like the main course bar, where there's our daily staple rice and bee hoon, plus lasagne. next to it are soups and chicken feet(i got no idea why they include this). den next to the soups are the siew mai and bao, plus beacurd rolls and dumplings. no xiao long bao tho.

they have the dessert cum fruit bar, and a fry-now-serve-u-soon bar. you leave a clip with your table no. in particular pole stands den they will cook and serve wad u wan in a jifty. i din eat any sushi, cos my stomach like to reject raw food in the most revolting way.


clockwise: tartar sauce with fried crab leg, fried scallop, wads left of my tempura shrimp and chicken wing.

den i have dessert for the third time! muah chee with peanut and yam filling. din try the green tea and red bean ones cos i am not a big fan. den the SUPERLICIOUS thai derssert i have tahan so long before getting. PRESENTING...(drum rolls) MANGO GLUTTINOUS RICE WITH COCONUT MILK!!! but too bad the rice is so hard to chew and the whole thing is cold plus rock hard instead of warm and steamy.



after sakura, i met khookhoonick and waylon at TM. nic still looked the same and waylon's complexion worsen hee hee. we sat at long john's and the boys try to fool me into thinking they won an ipod of 4G cos they upsized their meal and their scratch cards told them so. they ask me to go top the counter to claim the prize and they let me have the ipod for $20.

SURE BLUFF ONE LA think i so stupid is it!!!!!!! where gt so good deal one. must be think i am still as intellectually challenged as before. den we walked around while nic tried in vain to get a gift for his girl. den i told them wang gave me(actually is lend) his phone, and they go WAH!!! does he always give u expensive gifts etc and they bury their heads with their arms and couldn't believe that the ugly girl in class could get such things. plus those two siao gin na are below 1.8m and they keep suaning me abt wang being so tall and all. meanwhile ignoring me and go look at gundam toys. walao.

on my last day.. i bought my childhood sweets to endure the pain of going to work again.

sweet choco tablets in heart shape. 10 cents per pack.


my freakass busy and overcrowded desk. i have 91 such files to clear!!!!


me and francis. dunno why he leaned back tho. he asked me not to show this to wang for fear he get beaten up haha. yay last day i screamed and shouted and behaved very badly for the first 5 mins of my freedom. randall was like saying i am crazy or sth. den once i met wang i am too worn out to do anything and he said i looked sian. haha and jerome's hair is so many times longer den wang's too. plus wang's head really look like a pin ball i swear.

on authentic chinese names

baozhu has just entered the latest trend of name calling. not to other people, but herself. one day i saw her worte her name on the nus sports camp form as.......... stefanie.

and i go "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!"

and she said i am jealous or sth.

den i remembered lisan calling herself eve and amelia once! she sms me "hey, i am called amelia now, suit me rite?"

but eve and amelia dun even reflect lisan's character!!! i wan lisan to be the small, fun, pretty and laugh-out-super-loud TAN LISAN.

imagine i dun have an ang moh name. den one day i come to school and say, "hey guys i am josephine from now on k?"

i think all my frens will laugh to death.

if u cant imagine how hilarious and ridiculous the whole thing is, imagine chee tat striking a james bond pose and say "hey girls, i am johnson from now on." (no offence chee tat!! u are jus so innocent i wan to make a joke out of u)

it can be so pretentious!!! why cover up our beautiful meaningful names with sth else?

wanling: her name to me means serene, demure(supposedly anyway), and kind.

hanbing: cool, collected, pratical damsel.

tin mun(tian wen): past life is a dog. lol. means clever and articulate

kimwan(jin wang): funny big ears guy who is clumsy and bangs into walls. means forward looking.

lisan: beautiful, and sporty

baozhu: quirky and blur.

i am not sure wad malisa's qian ling means tho.

i wouldn't want wang to insist on me calling him steve too. i am too used to wang wang.

thank god hanbing and wanling haven tried such heart-attack tricks on me yet. but gosh, i used to like hanbing's name alot!

let us worry not for kong min(kuku), cos his english name is curl, and IT SUITS HIM.
