Some interesting newspaper clippings that I find are worth a read.




The sand, sea, a beautiful sunset (all shown in the above pic), topped with a self-prepared candlelight dinner- that was Mr Liang`s idea of a Valentine`s Day date with girlfriend Tan Yeat Bei.

So darn envious of the lucky gal.

The big hoo-ha over Beck`s possible premanent move to AC Milan.

HAHAHA! When I read this, I was really singing to the song lor!


Posh does have a great sense of humour.

PS: Kinda feeling down right now. In desperate need of some cheap humour. Sigh.
PPS: But thank God that I`m meeting my girlies for some crazy catch-up session so I foresee that my spirits will be lifted! xD

I have a sudden realisation.
That things can never be the same anymore.
Because everything changes with the passage of time.

2 more months to HMBD!
HMBD?
HUIMIN`S BIRTHDAY!
Without a doubt, it`s gonna be a huge step towards adulthood and I will be bidding farewell to teenagehood FOREVER.
Feels kinda sad just thinking about it.
In any case, I just want to spend the day having fun with my loved ones.
=D

Putting aside my 20th, my parents are already planning for my 21st.
Chalet.
What else?
They kept bothering me over which chalet to choose.
Do I really have to book that early?
Looks like my exaggerating genes are really inherited from them.

Randomness.

I feel loved. Aww. HAHA!
But cannot anyhow call okay.
I already chided him for that.

Neeraj is my classmate and I never did once talk to him because he looks intimidating to me.
He added me on FB and I accepted his friend request and we started talking.

Please please don`t come and talk to me.
I`m scared I`ll pee in my pants. HAHA!

Funny expressions? Do I really have them?
I NEVER DID REALISE, I SWEAR.

Since my last post was about celebrities, let me catch on the celeb hype!

Celebs whose features I simply adore...

...Liv Tyler for her gorgeous eyes (or rather, the colour of her eyes).


Arwen in LOTR.


Her eyes are very captivating.
I can`t seem to tear my gaze away from her.


...Gisele Bundchen for her buttcheeks.

Surprisingly in this issue of Elle (Feb2009), I think she looks hotter with clothes on than otherwise.

...Charlize Theron for her fabulously toned pair of legs.




Legs, legs and more legs.

The FRENZY about jeans!
Jeans are so flattering to short people.


She`s freaking 158cm. ONLY.


161cm and she jolly well looks 1.7m and above here.


Perky butt. I want perky butt!

Of course no one is born perfect.
Effort is needed to put in to maintain one`s figure.
I`m working on that and hoping to see results soon.

OSCARS 2009
The difference between "Married" and "Attached".

The married pair looks at each other intensely with adoring eyes...


while this is a one-sided affair.


I`m a neutral party.
Pro Aniston and pro Jolie as well.
I think Brad Pitt has had the best of both worlds.
He`s a darn lucky guy to have married the world`s two gorgeous women.

I don`t know how to start this post.
I will break into laughter once I start recounting the incident that happened this afternoon.
HAHAHAHA whatever. I`ll just blog it as it is.

I was on the train back home after school.
Expectedly, the train was packed cos it was lunch hour and so I was standing.
I was poring over Breaking Dawn until I got disturbed by some noise.
It came from a guy who stood opposite me, blasting music from his phone.
I remember clearly that it was a Mandopop song- 北极星的眼泪 by 张栋梁.
The fact that he is contributing to noise pollution irritates me.
He is obviously violating MRT etiquette and causing disturbance to others!
What`s worse is that he actually went to sing along with the song.
Oh lord. He most definitely sounds worse than William Hung.
At least William Hung was entertaining.
He was not.

Plus the fact about his fashion sense.
*bangs head on the wall and faints*
He had shoulder length hair, obviously unkempt.
Wore a grey dirty looking singlet(!!!) and torn jeans.
And of course, singing in public with his not so appealing voice.

This scene totally turned me off so I went to search my bag for my earphones.
I want to stuff my ears with "melodious" music and filter those disturbing noises out.
So when I reached into my bag, my pink pen fell out and GUESS WHAT.
To my utmost HORROR and DISGUST, that disgusting guy bent over at the same time as me and I was SOOO FREAKING LUCKY that I touched my pen before he did cos if it was the other way round, I would have thrown my pen away.
When I looked up, I didn`t even throw him a thank-you-for-your-offer-to-help look and stared the other way.
I was so traumatised though I wanted to laugh out loud at the same time but it was so difficult to contain my laughter that I looked constipated.
It was a sight man!

Okay end of funny story.
Funny how I always attract weird people. Eeew.

Never go to bed angry.
That`s one of my principles in life.

I`m a sucker for flowers- red roses to be exact.
So obviously this pretty bouquet is not for me but for my eyes to feast on only.
That girl is so blessed.
She should seriously count her blessings.

Okay flowers aside.
Went to Sakae Teppanyaki at Bugis Junction with Eunice.
And Terence the surprise guest.



You know I don`t do Jap la huh but since Eunice is such a devoted fan of Jap foodfare, I can`t bear to break her fragile heart by pushing her to Billy Bombers.



We were literally salivating over this kawaii chef who stood directly in front of me.

That idiotic Eunice hor, SNATCHED my camera and started snapping the chef in action.
He probably got all red in the face and left quickly.
Argh. Could have had more time for eye candy.
SPOILER leh.







Anyways, one funny thing happened.
Aiya, don`t feel surprised cos things can`t be normal with me around. ;)
So, the other chef was preparing my chicken and when he asked who it was for, my reflex response was... guess what.
I raised my hand and exclaimed, " 有！"
The chef stared at me for a few seconds and said, "Oh. You don`t need to raise your hand you know."
=_______+
Ya and the 2 sadistic freaks who sat beside me broke into thunderous laughter.









The vanilla ice-cream was superb.
Milky enough!


No pics of Terence cos the photos we girls took with him were hideous.
HAHAHA!
Can`t be sure whether he`s the problem or not. LOL.

The purpose of this catch-up session was to get my book from Eunice.
Remember I mentioned that she offered to buy PS I LOVE YOU from HK for me?
She claims it`s cheaper over there la but seriously it`s just a few dollars saved.
Nevertheless, THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORT!
Air flown from HK to my hands now.
Special.

This is a photo of the books I took at Times bookstore last year.
On the 29th February, 2008.

Finally got it after a year.
What a long wait.
Planning to read it after I`m done with Biz law.
Must prepare myself emotionally for the heartbreaking moments you see.

FYI, I`m currently on the last book of the Twilight saga- Breaking Dawn and I`m already emotionally unstable.
New Moon is heartwrenching- that`s all I can say.
Imagine your loved one telling you:

It will be as if I`d never existed.

Literally pull him/herself out of your used-to-be-complete life.
It`s too hard for anyone.
'Kay, shan`t say more.
Will blog about the saga once I`m done with it. :)

PS: Edward Cullen is so perfect that I believe I can never find someone like him in real life.

Why is it that my dear friends are getting so messed up with their lives recently?
Not one, not two, not three, but many!
Even the happy-go-lucky chairperson has sought help.
Life`s already miserable enough so why make it worse?
Hang in there, people.
My optimistic outlook of life is starting to wane because of you people`s adverse influences on me 'kay.
Spare me this torture.
Screw the immoral values.
Screw the BGR troubles.
Screw the "nobody understands me and life holds no meaning" illogical thinking you have.
Screw the inferiority complex.
Screw all the negativities!
I`m going insane counselling these messed up bunch of idiots.

SHEESHA.

The purpose of this post is to educate the many ignorant souls out there, some of whom are my dearest friends.

I just had a conference with my d-clannies and they, like me, held intense, disapproving opinions about this HARMFUL thing.

I`m not trying to condemn the behaviour of some, just wanted to raise alarm because people have been telling me that sheesha is harmless and I actually took them for real.

Continue doing it if you want to me to lose you, my dear friends.

FACTS ABOUT SHEESHA

Waterpipe smokers are at risk of the same kind of diseases as are caused by cigarette smoking, including cancer, heart disease, respiratory disease and adverse effects during pregnancy.

• Using a waterpipe to smoke tobacco poses a serious potential health hazard to smokers and
others exposed to the smoke.

• Sheesha smoke contains high levels of chemicals and poisons, including carbon monoxide, tar and heavy metals.

• Many of these chemicals are known to cause mouth and lung cancers, heart disease,
respiratory and other diseases.

• Even though it has passed through water, the levels of toxins in sheesha smoke can be as
high or higher than in cigarette smoke.

• Water-pipe smokers may absorb higher concentrations of these chemicals because of higher
concentrations in the smoke itself, or because they may smoke for several hours at a time
and may inhale moisturized, less irritating smoke more deeply.

• In a sheesha session lasting 60 minutes, a smoker can inhale as much smoke as a cigarette smoker would inhale from 100 – 200 cigarettes.

• Second-hand smoke from sheesha is an extremely harmful mixture of tobacco smoke and
smoke from the fuel (charcoal).

• Non smokers, particularly pregnant women, babies, children and the elderly are at risk from
breathing in sheesha smoke.

Using a waterpipe to smoke tobacco is NOT a safe alternative to cigarette smoking.

February the 22nd.
22/02.
Argh.
What meaning does it hold?
I can feel its significance but I just can`t pinpoint it out.
This is seriously driving me insane.
I spent the whole day thinking, searching for that one missing piece of the puzzle in my mind,
but to no avail.
What is the one thing that holds this date dear to my heart...?
Though important but why is it that I simply cannot recall?
Will I ever figure it out?
I hope so.

THE MOVIES THAT I WANT TO CATCH.

I don`t care whether this is a chick flick or not.
I MUST WATCH THIS!


Judging by the number of Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, do I have to tell you that this is a must-watch?


I would love to see the creases on Brad Pitt`s forehead.
And how often do you come across a storyline like this?


For the sake of Tom Cruise of course.
Ha, shallow right.


Went to catch Bride Wars with my BFF sometime ago.
2nd Feb, to be precise.





Huiqi says we are like Hudson and Hathaway in the movie.
She`s the competitive Liv, while I`m the ever-obliging Emma.
I would love to disagree la but she`s right. Ha.
It`s a fantastic movie to watch with your BFF, I would say.
The things that happen onscreen are so true to reality that there are instances where I threw sideways glances at Huiqi because I can totally relate to them.

Putting that aside, I think I`ve grown fonder of Anne Hathaway.
She can still look so gorgeous even after sacrificing her typical long luscious locks.
It makes me want to turn lesbian for her.
OKAY I AM KIDDING.






I totally adore this print ad.



I want to chop off my locks too... but there`s no way I can look as great as her.

And of course, Kate Hudson looks great with or without bangs.


Bride Wars is dominated by the female leads and it is no surprise that I don`t remember the names of the two (or three, including Emma`s new found love a.k.a Liv`s younger brother) male leads.
Or even how they look like.


I always tell my friends, d-clannies especially, that it is my fortune to have found them.
How many girls can have girlfriends like we do?
Girlfriends who can tell each other everything.
Okay, maybe not everything but almost.
I know some girls out there envy the D-Clan.
Don`t think I don`t know.
I know of a few.
Muahaha.
Well, what I can say that makes us bond together is... CRAZINESS.
That`s right.
D-Clan has tons of untapped potential in that field.
We always do things out of the ordinary, thus not making us bland but exciting.
Discover Singapore the way Tourists do, Cooking Mama Day, Kboxing Day (in TPJC uniforms), Back to School Day (which is actually trespassing) and Hollywood Glamour which is to be in action soon (despite Seet`s hectic schedule, I hope).
Ever so fresh.
Ever not tired of one another.
DOM DOM DOM.

Yea Business Law it is.

Prior to taking up this module, I`ve seen some getting really stressed over it, namely Talia and Rebecca.
Naturally, it affected me adversely.
And true enough, I became resistant to the subject.
I filtered the lecturer`s words and slept in class during the second lesson.
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I SLEPT IN CLASS IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS OF STUDYING.
I`m such a goner.
Therefore I`ve already set my mind that I`ll have Nescafe by my side for EVERY lesson.
It`s just so strange that the usage of English is not the way it is supposed to be and that I have to argue my way to twist the facts.
"Use common sense. That`s how the law works" was what my lecturer kept emphasizing in class.
Problem is, I don`t have much of a common sense, have I?
One thing I have learnt is that there is really no right and wrong in this world.
Like what Mrs Loh, my JC Econs teacher always say, "The world is not exactly black and white. There exists shades of grey."
How true.
In law, even if you are in the wrong, so long as you are able to argue your way around the facts, you are free from punishment.
Unjustice? Not quite.
There are general rules, and of course, exceptions.

I foresee that in the coming month, my mind will be filled with cases, cases and more cases.
Familiarize myself with how they argue with their opposing stands in order to tackle the open book exam.
OPEN BOOK.
Like it would help.
Hyde v Wrench, Luxor v Cooper, Harvey v Facey....
Cool names huh. Okay that is so besides the point.
And my assignment!
OH MY TIAN!
Someone stab me please.

PS: I probably need anti-depressants. Kind enough to buy me some?

I didn`t strike lottery or anything but why was I so nice to refurnish the desktop computer for my siblings?

I paid for the LCD monitor and the speakers...


while Tingting (she`s only 6!) contributed towards the keyboard.


The teenagers in my house should seriously start saving up for laptops.
I hope they will be sensible.

Apparently, I`ve neglected this space for quite a while.
It wasn`t intentional- I was too shagged from work and school.
Business Law is killing me.
The past five modules were fine and this one has proved itself to be an obstacle to overcome.
Looks like the the coming month will be a weary one.
Will blog about Business Law in detail later.
Right now, let me share some hilarious messages with you people!

I was exiting from Bedok MRT station and walking home when I received this message.

I immediately spun around and scanned the surroundings.
No sign of Gan Jun!
Fine, then I replied asking him where he is.

KNS! I know I look terrible when I don`t smile but his description was really funny and had me laughing in public!

HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Was about to slap my face.
I wonder how that would turn out to be.
And he shouted so loud that others could hear?
Was my stereo volume really that high....?

Ever the caring friend.

There is one distinct trait about me- I`m a lil blind to obvious stuff.
Like, even if say, Huiqi, walks by me, I may not even notice.
HAHAHA, ya weird I know.

Gan Jun was my classmate in K1 and K2.
Though we attended different primary schools, we met each other in TK again!
Classmates during Sec 3 and 4.

Oh yes. I didn`t realise that I was in a different kindergarten in Nursery 1 until this year.
Until the year that I turn 20.
Mummy told me that I studied in 124 kindergarten in Nursery before moving to PAP Kaki Kubit 409 for K1 and K2.
....................................
I was deluded for 16 years, thinking that I attended the same kindergarten for 3 years.
Hais Huimin ar Huimin.
How blur can you be.

That very same night, he messaged me this.

HAHAHA. Know what my reply was?
"yes good night cheeky ns man."
ROFL.

Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight is..... SIRIUS!
Obvious right cos it`s the brightest star.
HAHAHA.
Okay so I just came back from Bedok Reservoir.
Made it in time before midnight.
Finally got the chance to go there at night.
Remember I wanted to jump Bedok Reservoir sometime ago cos I was too pissed off with my friend?
Yea, this time I wasn`t intending to jump but to star-gaze.
Bedok Reservoir is a good place to star-gaze because it is free from the blinding city lights.
The tranquility of the waters provides a comforting, soothing feel too.
Plus tonight was splendid.
It was the first cloudless nightsky of the month of February.
Very beautiful.
Saw Orion but not the Big Dipper. :(

The only bad thing about Bedok Reservoir is that it is full of lao ah peks.
Or maybe lao se gui is a better word.
Piang. Stare stare stare.
Wait till I gorge your eyes out then you know.
I was already wrapped up like a dumpling and they still stare.
Ok fine la maybe my TPJC shorts were quite short but I already wore a jacket over my top leh.
HMPH.
Spoil my star-gazing mood.

Anyways, it occurred to me that even Santa Clause has mood swings.

So whenever he has mood swings, or perhaps troubles, he will go and appreciate the stars like me!
Trust me you people, in circumstances where you want to emo, go find a serene place, sit down and look up into the sky.
The bits of diamonds will thrill your heart and you`ll feel better.
It will be good if there`s a ferrero rocher by your side but that`s optional.

Why? Cos chocolate produces theobromine and phenyethylamine which are both mood-elevating chemicals!
Happy chemicals, as they call it.
Under such a scenario, there is no way you will feel worse! =D

A friend of mine once told me that life in Singapore is so stressful that you don`t even have time to look up into the sky and admire the stars like me.
I beg to differ leh.
I`m one such exception lor.
No matter where I am, once the nightsky falls, I`ll be sure to look up in search for stars.

Oh yes I came across a question regarding meteor showers just now.
"Do wishes come true if they are made under meteor showers?"
My answer is actually no because I used to make wishes on falling leaves and they do not come true so I assume that goes the same for meteor rain.

Maybe this might work:

Star light, star bright.
First star I see tonight.
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.
(Since Santa loves to sing)

PS: I hope Santa Clause will recover soon. =)
