salad bars

yay yay!

i watched the golden compass yesterday! i'm usually quite adverse to watching movies that are derived from children's fantasy novels but since the production fee was so high, thought i might help them a little. Oui? haha..Anyway, the cinematography was great but as for the storyline, yvonne and i went huh quite a few times. Waha! And it cannot be that we are slow because ehhh..it just can't be! Lalalalal.....

Anyway, kjt (in her really sexy suit!) joined us for dinner and we went to new york's cafe for dinner. Okay...this is the part where i start complaining.. the two ass-es had to order salad!!!! caesar salad for kjt and salmon salad for yvonne. what the hell happened to my makan kakis?!?! haiz..i had spaghetti in cream sauce and pork ribs...sighhh.....how sinful can that be. At this rate, im gonna be a loner soon...everyone will be dining at salad bars and me ..fast food restaurant..boohooooo..!

Okay..so what's the purpose of this post. hmmz..okay..i think i am bored.

i am bored

hello....

I am officially bored.

6 precious days have passed, which means im left with 32 days of freedom! Darn, i hate it when hours slip by without me noticing. oh freak. 6 freaking days.

last friday, it was sashimi with some looney dudes, saturday me attempted to be a cashier, sunday me attempted to be a auntie, monday je had sushi with bong bong, tuesday was spent in las vegas.

today, was spent helping mon pere et ma mere. and i think i'm falling sick.

tomorrow and the next day and the next and the next...
je wants to register for driving lessons, and do up my resume, and learn french, and meet up with friends, and bake, and sleep, and read a chinese book, and go overseas, and stop eating peanut butter bread, and complete my tintin collection, and buy josh groban's christmas cd, and visit the science centre, and eat ma la steamboat, and exterminate the lardy pig, and bribe sis to buy oyster mee sua home from taiwan, and send christmas cards out, and irritate the pig, and sit on the pig, and stamp on the pig, and hide the pig, and change his tube...

life is wonderful when there are pigs around..
yawn..im really talking nonsense now..ain't I?

Night....

eatign too much

oh my goodness..

i woke up with the most incredible pain in the back of my feet today . of course, je was tempted to lie in bed the whole of today if not for the bloody subject registration and so lumbered down my double decker bed.

And miraculously, i put off lunch till 5pm because of my reluctance to move my legs. and then i started eating, eating and eating and ahem..eating.

First, it was lunch. I had 2 bowls of rice with soy sauce chicken cooked with sea cucumber and a fried egg. And then straight after that, i had oh 4 pieces of bread slabbed with a thick layer of peanut butter. And then a pancake. Two hours later, my family came home with packets of hawker food..fried hor fun, carrot cake, satay and so on. i had some or rather lots and then that proceed to meet yvonne for sushi.

on my way home, i was so ready to puke all out to make my stomach feel a little more comfortable. my goodness.

why

why cant it be possible?

oh. whatever.

working

heello...

haha..i went to help my parents today at bukit panjang plaza. Anyone who knows me well knows how much i hate it...hahah..but today was okay la.

Was deciding between helping out at the cashier or doing sales. the brain of mind said sales..as the introvert moi ought to pick up some skills in communicating..but as usual i'm super stubborn. however i did try a bit of sales but i think i got kiampa face or something...im good at chasing them away...ha!

so i was observing and i saw the power of experience. those who had years of experience behind them effortlessly made people comfortable. words roll off their tongue ...if it's expensive, it meant quality. if it's too short, it's femininity. if it's too long, it's good for work. if it's weird, it's creativity.

oh ya..and i cope a pair of heels today..! yay!!!! that shd be the best part of today.

have a nice night!

emo

hey...

I hate school. Not like it's new news..but i really hate school! i cant remember the last time i hated studying as much.i'm so mentally and physically tired. is this all about life? rushing to meet deadlines one after another. It's so bloody pathetic and miserable.

i can't believe i cried (yes,i did) over the planning my timetable for the next semester...just one day after my current semester's examinations ended. But the fear of the whole semester thing starting again is too overwhelming. i spent my yr 2 sem 1 in tears, and i think history is going to repeat itself again next semester. and it doesn't help that i will be taking all classes next sem alone.

i know i don't handle stress well, but i dont know what to do either. i just let the nightmares haunt me, gorge on food and talk to inanimate objects and scream at humans. and cry.

whatever, just let me have a nice proper sleep. but first, i've still got to finish planning my timetable. Sigh.

wedding

bonjour tout le monde!

it has been quite a while since i last blogged, which ahem signifies that i have a busy social life! Ya right..attending lectures and tutorials, overcoming emo-ness..haiz.

Anyway, its starting to irritate me that i 'm so prone to emo-ing. The slightest setback puts me into a state of depression where i will start thinking about it day and night. I have reached a point where i'm avoiding everything that could potentially make me sad. i don't understand why i am unable to accept failure as part and parcel of life and that it is a necessity in life. It has stopped me from exploring the nouveau, for fear of failing and being disappointed in myself again and again. the fact that i am at the stage where work does not equate to success makes me feel even worse. haiz..this is so so shitty. ..i am often inspired..ambitioned by fantastical dreams, so eager for success, haha..but that is so often replaced instantly by a "dont be crazy la, confirm cannot de". Argh.

On a lighter note, today is the last day of the terrible exam period, which means...i will be free for the next 38 days. WoooHooooo....! People! Come, come pul-ease date me.

On a lighter lighter note, my aunt held her solemnization ceremony today. My goodness, it was such a joyous event that i kept smiling like an idiot, like a really crazy idiot. i know i will regret it when i get to see the photo. eh..but anyway, it was the first solemnization ceremony i've ever attended, ahah and im amused the informality of it. I always thought it was to be a serious,solemn affair where all are silent but the groom and bride, trying desperately not to faint..but ahah..maybe its just my dear family.

And of course, i was suddenly hit by the desire toget married. haiz.

Music de la Fete

Practically every textbook that teaches the French language has a chapter on Fete de la Musique (World Music Festival). Still, it's quite amazing in the sense that i never expect myself to be in one. Cheers!

Made my way to Hotel de Ville with the two Jings after my final exam (Yay!). Wow, the whole shopping street was filled with amateur performers making music..rock, disco, new age, classical, religious, international..you name it, they have it. In front of every performance, adults and kids danced and swayed to the music. The smell of food hung in the air as temporary food stalls were set up along the streets. The atmosphere was just lively without being too overbearing...

IRRITATING GUY

I have seriously never hated a guy as much as X. I feel like I'm being tortured/manipulated/used by him. Every day, every meal, the constant planning we have to make so as not to eat with him. Seriously is he stupid or what. Can't he tell that we really detest him, that we are really not interested in talking to him. Even though my roomie told him that i detest him. He still don't get it. The constant pestering is really driving me crazy.

The first time, the luggage thing..I mean seriously you have got luggage, i have got lots of luggage. Suan le, you dun want to help me. Fine. I'll do it. But who on earth gives a stupid face and moan and complain while watching a girl struggle with her luggage up and down the many stairs. I can still remember his stupid face as he stood at the top of the stairs with that pathetic face saying "why did you have to bring so much thing" w/o even offering to help. FREAK YOU Ultimate. After that i avoided him as much as possible.

Then, we went to ski..we were trying to get back to our apartment which was some distance away from the ski slopes. My roomie had difficulties because the ski equipments were freaking heavy. I, myself, already had trouble carrying all of them and I'm like how big la. She asked him to help her and he gave her that bloody look. He took it and passed every thing else on him to her. Like duh. My roomie bo bian..took it back..like even easier to carry and then the ultimate thing happened. He told us, " I go back first" and he just left us there like that. To think that i even expected him to put his freaking things down and come back to help us. This time, my roomie was super pissed.

My roomie and I bought some shrimp for dinner but couldn't finish using it. Usually we would leave it at WJ's place which was in another building but that day, perhaps it was too cold or sth, we decided to leave it in his roomie's fridge. We contemplated for a very long time because we knew his stupid ways of doing things. And yes, when we went over, guess what he said... Oohhh..you guys have pots..so you can cook and treat Y( his roomie), he will be here during the weekend. I mean seriously, this is our first time doing this-like leaving things in your roomie's fridge. I mean like okay....to leave things in his fridge for one day, we have to treat him. like whatever. Fine. And then a week later. he said, i remember you guys saying that you want to treat Y and me. Like hello???? What the freak.

And then that day, he asked us if we wanted to go to Z's place for spaghetti that weekend. We were like eh? He was surely up to something again. Yeah, we were right. We later learnt that he didn't even ask Z before asking us!!! Like who are you to play host??It's not even your place. Luckily we said no, or he would have told Z ," Isa and her roomie want to go to your room for spaghetti " or sth.

it's not me right, who expects too much?

P.S I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE. LEAVE US ALONE!
P.P.S. Sorry for all the grammar mistakes. angry la.

寻家

During my trip to Italy, on the train from Pisa to Florence. I wrote a little poem.

Usually, I'm pretty much okay doing things alone. I frequently shop alone in Singapore, find it therapeutic, being lost in my own thoughts, dreaming, thinking, but on the train to Florence, I was hit by waves of sadness and loneliness. I closed my eyes, leaned against the window, hoping to sleep and that when i woke up, I would be my usual self again. I saw myself at home, having steamboat with my family, watching tv, shopping with friends, eating at restaurants. It was all so wonderful, I felt the warmth all around me, heard their laughters but soon realized that I was only day dreaming. For that one moment of pleasure, I became even more depressed. That night, was the my most difficult night since I reached here.

And so, on the train, i wrote a little poem.

《寻家》

离乡孤人千里外
乘车寻忧赏花香
夜降归宿终思乡
几回入眠梦寻家

P.S. 第一次写诗,该让别人看吗?

TKGS School Song

Hey there. =)

Two days ago, Lynnette, my dear ex-tkgssb section mate sent me two music pieces that she did. She did surprise me a bit because of the choice of song -the TKGS school song. As she said in the email "both are jams, improvised", and it sure sounds more interesting than the original one. =P

She has kindly allowed me to put them up here, so here they are. Enjoy. =) And do drop her some comment kay!

TKGS School Song (Original from the school's website)

Lyrics to the Tanjong Katong Girls' School Song:

"We cannot all be heroes and thrill a hemisphere
With some great daring venture, some deed that mocks at fear
But we can fill a lifetime with kindly acts and true
There's always noble service for noble souls to do


We're not all blessed with beauty not everyone with brain
But each from every other has something good to gain
So let us make an effort to keep it as a rule
That each one needs the other within the Katong School

Then let us fill the hours with minutes truly spent
In helping one another towards a true content
So let us serve with honour and work for selfless fame
For credit of our country and glory of her name"

Au Revoir.

La grosse femme


visa

i hate the freaking visa.

The stupid freaking visa expires on the 1st of July. My flight is from Paris on the 24th July. So what am i suppose to do? Go to a freaking non eu country , get a stamp on my passport and re-enter France based on the 90 days free entry facility?

Find a non eu country to go to..britain, switzerland both don't stamp your passport. My only hope now..Africa ( eh?) or Turkey which is at the other end of europe. Hmmz..sux.

Why cant I apply for a Carte de Sejour!!!!! Argh. Cannot extend visa, cannot apply for another visa, cannot travel to other eu countries with my current visa. What's next. what's the freaking use of the visa.

As I said b4, moral of the story: If you gonna do a six month exchange. pick another eu country.

Yangfan and my fault

Great, I have just ruined someone's holiday.

i was supposed to host my friend when he visited lyon. But then but then...

We had agreed upon that a few weeks ago with him telling me, "im coming next next sunday". But with all the holidays this month and trips i made recently, it never quite occurred to me the exact date he was coming.

So yesterday, a Sunday, I woke up and thought to myself," Hmm..he didnt contact me through msn. So I guess it should be next Sunday then." Furthermore, this coming weekend is a long weekend again, with the ascension holiday falling on thursday and friday, so people will be out to play.Thinking that I was free, i went off to play.

Imagine my horror when i read his messages on my phone, after groggily waking up to answer a phone call this morning. Of course he couldnt contact me through msn because he was out in other cities playing. And blur me, never ever remember that i have a phone and went 3 days without checking the messages in my phone.

And yesterday was his birthday. =|

Im so terrible.
