i got my guitar!
finally. :D
well, so having gotten the guitar, i've been practicing really hard, trying to at least learn the basics.
and.. i've come to the conclusion that i am not very guitar-inclined. :/
it's only been after the A, E, C, D and G chords and my fingers are already damnnnn pain.
it'd be horrible if the skin of my fingers become like the sole of my foot.
*dies*
oh, and i've been trying to decipher what all the dashes and numbers on the guitar tabs for 'chasing cars' and 'hey there delilah' mean.. but so far, my efforts have come to naught.
URGH.
on a lighter note, I GOT THE JOB AT HARRY'S BAR!
yayness.
starting work next monday.
i'm feeling really nervous though.
there are like, a thousand what ifs running through my mind now.
what if i break a beer bottle while serving the customer?
what if i slip and fall and pour some drink on a customer's head?
and so on.
ZOMG.
i hope my klutzy self won't come into play next monday.
*crosses fingers*
p.s.
i was bored, and so... BLOGTHINGS quizzes came in handy once again. :D

Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.

i finally finished watching why why love.
omg. it rocked like goodness knows what.
it was full of laughter at first, until the last 2 episodes, which was enough to draw buckets of tears from you.
which is, of course, the reason why i ended up with puffy eyes today.
:/
i love mike he junxiang with a vengeance. :D
we need more guys like THAT irl.
neway, i went for harry's bar interview today!
think it went rather well..
they said they'll call me by wednesday to let me know when to start work!
*crosses fingers*
yayyy! money + genting + guitar, HERE I COME!
and and, training tomorrow.
like FINALLY.
i've been bloating up like a puffer fish, pig, boar and hippo combined.
ok. back to ratatouille.
see you pokkers!
~ 8/26/2007 10:07:00 PM ~
today was productively spent with lovelies lina and menghow!
:D
other than embarrassing ourselves in the evening, we had a lovely time EATING too!
going out with them = stuffing ourselves with food.
and the location today was OLD AIRPORT ROAD.
it was lovely.
had the yummiest ice kachang ever, and koped some really delicious pork ribs prawn noodles from lina.
not to mention banana and tapioca fritters.
lina trying to escape from sight.
but we've got proof that she ate the most!
here's what we ate.
not that much today, cuz lina was BROKE. :/
oh well, another time! :D
and US! :D mengy looks his usual perverted self.
but i still love them loads. :D
i've been watching exchange love/why why love these few days.
and.... MIKE HE JUNXIANG = LOVE OF MY LIFE.
why aren't there such perfect guys here? :(
Saturday, August 25, 2007
~ 8/25/2007 07:44:00 PM ~
and it was lunch + tea + dinner at poh peikee's house just now! :D
going to his house is sinful man.
it's eating and eating only.
not that i'm complaining, just that....
diet, here i come once again.
OH. and he taught attempted to teach me how to play the guitar!
just that, being the not very musically inclined me, i took a gazillion years.
well, at least i learnt twinkle twinkle little star and mary had a little lamb. plus the cheat version of chasing cars.
OUI DON'T LAUGH OKAY.
it's a start.
i've decided to buy a second-hand guitar and start learning!
second-hand in case my interest is not sustained.
so, anyone has a guitar he/she wants to sell?
BAH! and i can't believe poh peiks is leaving for UK again next thurs. :(
worst thing is he'll only be back next JULY.
JULY 2008 for goodness sake.
oh OH. one good news is that i have a job interview this coming monday at harry's bar!
*jumps around*
hopefully they hire me.
$7/hour man! no joke. :D
random post it is again.
ta, people.
~ 8/24/2007 04:11:00 PM ~
AND I'M BACK, with my loveliest lappy.
*satisfied look*
wednesday was bliss although peg and i ended up not tanning.
bought the dorothy perkins black skinnies that i'd been eyeing, as well as black patent flats! :D
oh and i promised muzy muzables to post this retarded pic of me which he edited.
happy now, muz? :D
ok i'm off to enjoy my lappy.
p.s.
i think it's really unfair when our parents order us to do stuff just because they are our parents,
hey, if they don't deserve our respect, no way am i giving it to them. don't you think?
and now she's blasting the tv as though she's some deaf fuck. :/
~ 8/20/2007 09:49:00 PM ~
as expected, studying today with airell was... unproductive, to say the least. :/
but it was great!
HAHA had a lovely time chatting and i got a.... BIO lesson! :D
oh, and instead of studying, we started a battle drawing on each others' hands and arms.
*snort*
i'd be happy if i just PASS the paper tomorrow, considering how i've given up studying for advert already.
anyway, we planned a trip to genting in end september, early october. WHO'S UP FOR IT? :D
we've got sheereen, mel, mohsen, airell and me so far.
life is looking good again.
and did i mention that diversitec said they would replace my adapter?
but that's probably because they don't know that my warranty is over already.
i'll be going down on wednesday and hopefully (*crosses fingers*) they don't find out about the warranty.
WISH ME LUCK!
p.s.
i was reading xiaxue's blog that day about this vincent toni guy.
some gay was ranting about this gay prostitute in nyp and yada yada.
okay go read her post yourself.
anyway, not that i have anything against homosexuals.
i'm perfectly fine with them! and even have a few as friends.
but ANYWAY, that guy was HORRIBLE, i swear.
so, being the bored and restless person i am, i emailed him.
don't stare at me in surprise alright? :D
that's how i search for entertainment in this mundane life of mine.
HE'S SO VULGAR WHEN I WAS NOTHING BUT PLEASANT TO HIM!
*glares*
see! he deserves it right.
but nemind. i had a good laugh and a nice time replying to his email. :D
ok off to read and sleep.
ta, baboons. :D
~ 8/19/2007 10:02:00 PM ~
you know.. it sucks when life is so good one moment, and so bad the next.
:/
mine seemed to be going uphill just a few days back, and now, it makes me feel like banging my head on the wall.
first, my lappy charger is DEAD. and the batt for it has run flat.
so all my info in the lappy can't be touched for the moment.
and just nice enough, the only not-so-working computer at home does not have ms word or ppt.
and so i can't open the notes i took for advertising!
next, i think i'm gonna fail advertising. i'm still on my 2nd chapter!
worse, i'm gonna study with airell tomorrow, and as i know from experience, we prolly wont be doing much studying.
*cough*
please don't let me retake advertising. i'll just die.
lastly, my auntie decided to come visit me today!
but i wanted to go indoor tanning with pegpeg on tues after advert.
and who ever tans with blood flowing, right?
:/ hopefully auntie decides to take leave temporarily on that tday.
*crosses fingers and hopes*
but it's okay. the thought of 2 more days of hell left is cheering me up.
at least after that, i'll be free to just curl up in one corner and read the books i just borrowed.
oh, not to mention start my long-procrastinated diet.
BAH!
happy studying!
Saturday, August 18, 2007
~ 8/18/2007 12:34:00 AM ~
i.am.miserable.
*hides under the table and emos*
don't wanna leave it all behind,
but i get my hopes up and watch them fall everytime.
another colour turns to grey,
and it's just too ahrd to watch it all slowly fade away.
~ 8/17/2007 07:01:00 PM ~
MRM'S OVER!
finally. :D
baby, i've waited sooo long for this day.
it was swensens after that and ohhhh boy. sinful, that's what it is.
it's time to diet again, i've piled on the 7kg i lost a few months back. :(
the group of us at heeren!
i can't wait for next tuesday, when all this will all be officially over.
FABULOUS TAN with peg peg, then work, shop and possibly overseas!
:D
gimme gimme fun, sand, sun and laughter.
i've got a dream, that one day.. we're gonna work it out.
Thursday, August 16, 2007
~ 8/16/2007 09:19:00 PM ~
studied with airell at the airport today!
although that ass was late as usual - we were supposed to meet at 2pm, and he only reached at like.. 3plus. :/
anyway, it was... rather unproductive.
we ended up chatting, bitching and yeah, you get the point.
so it took us 4 hours to go through... 2 chapters. *dies*
and while bitching, we realised how mass comm has changed us.
sometimes, when self-reflecting, i get disgusted by how ugly i am now inside.
whose reflection is this i see? to say the truth, i have no idea.
yes, this is all for survival. to stay strong in the battle for the best.
although i'm thankful to mass comm for making me a stronger person, the unrecognisable look in my eyes i see sometimes... it scares me.
but hey, what's life without getting stronger, right?
if it's one thing i've learnt, it's never to rely on anyone but yourself.
never to count on anyone but yourself.
oh. i wanna get a tongue piercing again!
i miss the stud in my mouth. :(
and also another tattoo please! :D
p.s.
OVERSEAS IN THE HOLS.
like.. thailand or malaysia. who's up for it? :D
(of course, must work first, that is)
Wednesday, August 15, 2007
~ 8/15/2007 05:10:00 PM ~
taking a break from studying MRM.
seriously, exams should be banned.
RAWR. i prefer projects like so much more.
tell me, what is the use of memorising work?
oh, like it helps us in our working life, having to dig through the chunks of knowledge we have in our heads, looking for a hypo testing method?
*snort*
i've just studied 5 chapters, although i'm pretty sure, if you ask me something about them.. i'll need some a lot of time to think it through.
lately i had pondered, spent my nights awake and wondered.
you could be my someone, you could be my scene
~ 8/14/2007 08:05:00 PM ~
i think that smelly people should be banned from public transport.
like.. REALLY.
don't lecture me on how public transport are meant for the public and so they have a right to it.
while on the train to school today, i couldn't sleep at all.
i was falling asleep at first, till the train reached kembangan.
then someone sat next to me and i was awakened by this really pungent smell that assaulted my nostrils and some wire-like hair rubbing against my arm.
and the smell, fyi, wasn't those normal kinda B.O that you'll get used to after a minute or so.
hers was... HORRIBLE to the EXTREME. it was as though she rubbed onion + garlic + stinky spices on her entire body!
yes, that bad, i'm not exaggerating.
and she only got off a few stops before i did, which resulted in me being UNABLE to sleep and rest.
:(
conclusion?
smelly people, NO public transport for you!
SMRT and SBS Transit should install a smell-checker kinda thing on the ez-link machine.
if the person is smelly, then they won't be allowed in.
*nods*
OH YES.
newspaper's finally handed in.
and i realised that, despite my initial misgivings about the mistakes we made in the paper, we aren't that bad afterall! :D
~ 8/13/2007 07:37:00 PM ~
and we say a heartfelt GOODBYE to newswriting.
thank you, eastern times, for stealing so many nights of my sleep.
it has been great staying up subbing your articles.
no more editor-ing.
*heaves sigh of relief*
oh yes, guess how much the two copies of THE EASTERN TIMES cost?
$96.
yes, i see your jaw drop.
96 frigging bucks for 4 pieces of recycled paper.
my wallet is officially empty burnt.
anyway, i'll be back soon!
meanwhile, let me enjoy my newfound freedom for this one night before "mugging" for mrm and advertising from tomorrow.
*EDIT*
several hundreds of mistakes in a paper?
i think ours will hit that.
FUCK BALLS.
lexy loo, you suck. :/
~ 8/13/2007 12:39:00 AM ~
bitchy? no, it's called survival instinct.
i would never have dreamt of marking people down for peer evaluation in year 1 of mcm.
now, however, is a different matter entirely.
don't blame me for that.
i mean, you wouldn't want someone who doesn't do work to get the same grades as you, right?
if you think you can be a free-loader in my group, think again.
your friends may be dumb enough to help you with your work - tv first script assignment, your individual reflections, and whatnot.
but sorry, hon. i'm just not as patronising.
Saturday, August 11, 2007
~ 8/11/2007 07:48:00 PM ~
update for two days!
friday, 10 aug:
meet-up with the besties!
it was fantabulous.
laughed our heads off like nobody's business.
plus we thought menghow got a class A navy thingy for his ns checkup.
turned out it was only for the.. erm.. physical test/body checkup.
not his physical ability, aka napha.
oh wells, then shopping with them after eating!
lucky lina bought loads of stuff.
unlike me. the only top i wanted cost like.. 50 frigging bucks.
anyway, camwhoring at MANGO is love! :D
i want this top!
saturday, 11 aug:
CANOE RELAY DUATHLON, finally!
was fearing the 4km run and 4km canoeing at first.
but it turned out really fun, and thankfully i didn't end up as burnt as after sports camp.
plus, joyce and i felt really accomplished after our race! :D
i, being the first runner, started off at bout.. 10plus 11am.
and hell, the sun was CRAZY lah.
*dies*
this was the first time i actually RAN the entire 4km + chionging at the last leg.
and it was canoe time after that!
joyce and i were hella irritated.
we wasted like.. 3-4 minutes trying to get a canoe and life-jacket cuz everyone were, apparently "chopping" the canoes.
but BUT. me thinks joyce and i were such great partners!
HAHA. we managed to match each other's timing/pace really well.
*jumps around*
finished at 1 hour 36 min and joyce + i decided to take part in next year's duathlon again!
next year, however, will see us training hard for it. :D
anyway, PICTURES!
lovelove!
damn tired though, so forgive me for the lack of captions.
NEWSPAPER'S DUE IN .... 3 DAYS!
*hyperventilates*
Thursday, August 09, 2007
~ 8/09/2007 09:29:00 PM ~
OHMYGOODNESS.
2 more days to the canoe relay duathlon.
am getting really nervous.
moreover the U19 ladies race is from 10.30a.m. - 12p.m.
kns, what if we.. die from heatstroke or something?
AND I CANT PERFORM WITH THE SUN SHINING DOWN ON ME. :(
not to mention...
when i went for the briefing yesterday, the girls i saw were all so fit!
those muscular arms + legs and tanned like nobody's business.
i swear i nearly dropped dead when i saw them.
how can a fat-laden hainanese chicken compare with roast chickens?
(okay, bad example)
the only thing still drawing me to the race is the goodie back.
got FABULOUS TAN voucher!
AHAHAH. then i can go get tanned and look slimmer and sportier.
*jumps around*
oh well, wish me luck.
like.. REALLY.
need it by the truckloads yo!
Wednesday, August 08, 2007
~ 8/08/2007 09:21:00 PM ~
and no more presentations!
*heaves a HUGE sigh of relief*
anyway, i was on the train to meet a seller yesterday..
and seriously, some guys are an extreme embarrassment to the entire male species.
there was this perverted looking guy (small eyes, a teeny weeny bit of mustache)... yes, stereotyping, i know. but listen to what i have to say.
there was this slim and not bad looking girl who walked past him and sat a few seats away from him.
well, so this guy had his eyes fixated on her once she entered the train! and followed her to where she sat.
i mean.. it's fine if he just looked.
but you could tell, from his LUSTY gaze, that he was mentally undressing her.
after which he pulled up his shirt and showed his rolls of fat.
:/
AND AND.. that's not the end of it!
he tried making a mound outta the zipper of his pants so his groin would look bigger (then he pointed at his - imaginary - enlarged equipment).
*cough*
does he think that anyone would be interested in his groin?
HAH. especially one belonging to a delusional guy like him.
*waves hand in bitchy dismissal*
he should get a life yo!
rather than trying to use his "HUGE" equipment to attempt to get girls.
FIRST THINGS FIRST. he needs a plastic surgery before girls would even give him a second glance.
#%^% and he has to learn that... girls are NOT sex toys.
give us the respect we deserve, yo!
~ 8/06/2007 12:02:00 AM ~
just kill me. like REALLY.
i'm getting so irritated being the editor of this damn paper.
i mean, i can't freaking please EVERYBODY.
when i try to be nice to the reporters/subs, and not rush them as much as i would otherwise...
i get rushed by the layout designer.
when i rush the reporters/subs, they STILL don't keep to the deadlines, and i get rushed by the layout designer.
there's nothing much i can do right?
i can't go around beating people up just because they don't keep to my deadlines.
what i'm getting now is FUCKING shit.
pressure from the layout designer for the articles + pictures + captions + headlines.
pressure from mr ramani + group members + self not to screw the entire thing up.
pressure from my dad and mum "qr, go and sleep already!" like every 15minutes.
tell them to stop it, and i get scolded.
FUCK NOT LIKE I DON'T WANNA SLEEP RIGHT.
i'm rushing! like REALLY rushing.
give me a break please.
Saturday, August 04, 2007
~ 8/04/2007 03:20:00 PM ~
i just heard from my dad about a case he has on hand now - he's prosecuting a lawyer for the law society.
and i am seriously appalled at the lawyer's behaviour.
lets take her name as C, since the name has to be protected for confidentiality.
:/
apparently she overcharges ALL her clients.
there was once that she charged this client $29,000 for a simple divorce procedure.
and by the time she got found out, the client has already (stupidly) paid her $17,000.
but the worst thing is, C charged the client so much because she thought her client's (soon-to-be ex) husband is hella rich, so she could make a huge killing.
in fact, the $17,000 the client paid her was borrowed from her family and friends. and after paying the $17,000, the client really couldn't afford anymore. and guess what C did?
she asked her client to apply for legal aid, or else.. "no money no talk"
so this came to the attention of the law society, and my dad knocked C's billing down to $5,000.
which means... she frigging overcharged her poor client by $24,000!
kns. how can a lawyer be so unscrupulous?
this is not the end of it.
she had another client who was, "quite pathetic", as quoted from my dad.
this client was about 50, but had all those arthritis and whatnot.
she went to C for some legal help.
C then charged her about $250,000!
ZOMG, innit?
after the client paid her about $200,000 (once again, through loans and all that), she couldn't afford to fork out anymore money.
C then let go of the case.
but this was worse than the previous one, BECAUSE C HASN'T EVEN STARTED DOING ANYTHING FOR THAT POOR LADY!
and now, according to my dad, that poor lady has started doing some small-scale karang guni "business" like collecting cardboard and selling them just to make a few bucks to feed herself.
i mean... this woman is a lawyer, how can she be so unscrupulous?
and how heartless and greedy can she get?
squeezing everyone dry just to benefit herself and get her wallet fat with cash.
people may put the blame on the clients, saying "walao, so stupid. you should have known her rates before consulting her what.."
BUT, it's sooo not their fault.
she's one freaking unstraightforward lawyer.
on her list of rates, she charges by time (e.g. $300/hour), but when her clients go to her..
she charges for every tiny thing, e.g. $1,500 for a filing, etc.
me thinks that the law society should just strip her of her lawyer title.
however, i heard that that is not so because they have NO CONCRETE EVIDENCE.
*snorts*
karma, C.
i hope fate turns around and bites you in the ass for all the people you caused hurt to.
~ 8/03/2007 09:27:00 PM ~
and........
