Woo Hoo!!! I'm free! Offically freed from FYP! But I'm deprived of sleep! This is the first time throughout my entire academic that I worked through the night without even taking a break to nap. Don't know where the sudden surge of energy came from. Didn't feel tired. Just kept on typing and typing away. I scroll the mouse till my finger became quite stiffed by daybreak.
Dad came into check on me a few times, surprised to see that his loves-sleeping-daughter never sleep at all. bro even set his alarm to wake up at 8am to wake me up. But there wasn't a need to cause I was wide awake, so he went back to sleep. Think they were pretty concerned that I didn't sleep at all. Dad said, "finish up fast then go sleep a while before going back to school." Paused for a moment then said, "ehh...No. Cannot. Once you sleep, thats it. Better not. Don't fall asleep." bro helped me prepare breakfast cause I was so busy printing all the stuff, like a kan cheong spider.
Having no sleep, means I would be more easily agitated. I was so pissed with the shop which binded my 2 seperate reports. I went to the shop, asked them to bind. The girl told me to come back later. I asked politely if she could do it immediately as I was in a hurry. She gave me that buay song face. Took my report, placed it at the machine and went to stack some CD first. Ok.. Never mind, I wait a while. Then she slowly slowly, take the report and punch hole. Punch halfway, she asked another girl to take over. The other girl carried on and when it was time to put the spine, she went to take a huge spine assuming it was one report. Although I can't blame her cause the first girl didn't inform her that they were 2 seperate reports. I tried to get her attention by calling out to her. Wah kao eh... Don't know she was feigning ignorance or what lah. The distance less than 5 meters only. I kept on calling, "Excuse me...", "Miss!", "Xiao Jie!" I even shouted but she still can't hear lor. After she was done binding one report, she saw the other cardboard backing for the other report. She then turned around and asked, "Two ar?"
That was not the end. She took two seperate spines and measured it against the height of the papers. Took own sweet time to measure. Measure already also wrong. Had to take out and redo. By that time, I was already cursing and swearing lots of vulgarities in my mind. Time I went in, 11.15am. Supervisor called at 11.30am to see if I'm there to submit. I started to complain. His reply? "See lah you ar... Always so last minute." -_- I finally left at 11.35am.
Lucky taxi stand no queue. Told the driver that I was in a huge hurry. So he drove very fast. But sadly, by the time I went to the admin office, it was past 12pm already. Cut off time was 12pm after which, deduct 5 marks. Waiting to take the lift. Lift opened my supervisor came out. So I asked him to help me check if I got deducted or not. He went to check, said have cause already past the time. So I start to complain again bout the binding. After that I headed home.
I so wanted to puke while on the bus. But there wasn't anything to puke cause all I ate was a slice of bread which by then, was probably digested. I was having a splitting headache due to the lack of sleep. The bus driver kept on jerking and jerking. To make matters worst, it was hot and stuffy cause the aircon was spoilt. I had the urge to just alight and wait for the next bus.
Anyway, made it home. Supervisor called. Said he went to talk to the project head to see if can give me chance so that my marks won't be deducted. It went well. So he said he called to tell me the good news so that I can sleep in peace tonight. Haha! Then he went say now I can finally go look for job. So I asked, "You got lobang is it?" Notice I didn't use the word job opportunity. Haha! He said got, but I wasn't interested cause its all the hardware and support stuff. I had enough of it, so no thanks.
Waiting for Ade to finish school. Going to watch 'The Maid'. Meantime, going to sleep a bit first. Buay tahan...

1 Day To Freedom
Relaxing from report typing now... Need a bit of inspiration. Recharge a bit.
Yesterday sat in front of the computer typing away. Typed so much!
Current count, 33 pages in MS Word or approx 7500 words.
How to hit 80 pages of crap?
Had apple crumble to keep me up last night. The crumble crumbles too much that I cannot bring into my room and enjoy it in front of my laptop. More troublesome cause I had to walk in and out each time.
Slept at 5am last night. Oh wait... I mean this morning.
Squirt is getting smart. Swims around Jimmy when its feeding time. Knows that I'm bias towards Jimmy, always throwing more food to him. But he is too darn small. Eat so much still don't really grow. Why ar?
Hate the food they are eating. Makes them have pink mouth-line, pink claws. So weird. Tell me lah, which turtle has pink parts? Changing brand of food the next round.

3 Days To Freedom
Couldn't wake up for church just now.
Was just too tired to get out of bed.
bro went without me and didn't wake me up.
Sian~
Now back from church after a not very satisfying lunch.
Gotta try to write out 20,000 words or minimum 80 pages of report.
I'm so tired just starring at the screen.
Bahhh!
But what to do?
=(
I don't wanna fail.
Ok...
Back to focus on writing in my report.

Italian Maniac
Did report but not very much. Couldn't really concentrate.
Went to library in the evening with Ade. Found some books and paid library fine which I never knew about. I don't even recall borrowing the book.
Ade brought me to some dessert shop and I ate the peanut paste. Ok lah. Not bad lor. Better than the packet kind. After that headed for a more substantial dinner.
This is maddness. I think suddenly I'm eating too much Italian food. Last sunday was pizza hut. Monday ate Pizza Hut again. Wednesday ate Pasta Mania. Today? Pasta Mania again.
Godma called and said that she baked cake & apple crumble. OMG!!! So much food.

A Day Well Spent
Late again! This time cause of what? My blurness... I was supposed to bring this card which will allow free entry to the museum. I know thats the most important thing. I even placed it under my handphone when I was going out. But when I went out, I just grabbed my hp, leaving the card there. Walked down till void deck only to realised I didn't bring lor. Sian... Had to walk back up again.
Visited the Asian Civilisian Museum with grandma and godma. They are currently having this special exhibit of Vatician artifacts. One would need to appreciate art in order to find museum interesting. Otherwise, it would probably be just like an aimless walk in a dim gallery. I found the exhibit very interesting. The historic story behind it and all that.
Seeing the magnificent paintings which looked so life like. The way they bring out the subject, the subject's expressions and feelings.
Seeing the detailed carvings on the artifacts. How each artifact was painstaking carved.
It makes me suddenly have the urge to save up money quickly so that I can go to Vatician itself to witness the artistry. But at the moment, this shall do while I save up.
After visiting the museum, we went for lunch. I was being grilled by their endless questions bout someone. Whether it would be a Cinderella story or not. Definitely not!
After lunch and their grilling, godma had craving for kaya toast. So we headed over there to la-kopi/yum cha/high tea whatever it should be called. There is this shop which sells those kaya toast... Ohh! Its damn yummy! The kaya not very sweet. So it can be eaten even without spreading on bread! Nice... Nice! I wanted to buy a bottle of the kaya back. But I forgot!
Digress a bit. Yesterday I had craving for kaya. So I went to buy baguette from Delifrance. Came home, daddy asked me, "you buy bread then go with what?" Assuming still got kaya, I still answer till damn sart, "spread with whatever you want lor." Only to open my fridge later and realised, there wasn't anything I could spread it with besides butter. Sian to the core.
Back to my day. Sent grandma off to the taxi stand so that she can go home. I accompanined godma to look for a particular shop which sells a lot of those different brands of cosmetics and toilettries. Wahaha! The shop she brought me to, was the one I was searching for ever sinced they closed for renovation. Good! Now I can buy the nice smelling hair treatment stuff. Bought other stuff too!
Then accompanied godma to the station and I decided not to go home. I shall go visit my ex colleagues. Went up to the office... Walked slowly to the reception counter and suddenly, "HARLOW!!!!!!" Conz & Gen were surprised at my visit, "wahh... today so free ar? Can come here." May didn't even notice I was standing inside when she walked back from ladies till I did another "Harlow!!!"
Bombarded with questions and comments cause I never go back for so long already. Why I do braces, why need to do, your teeth that bad that need to do, not pain meh kinda questions. Eh, you lost weight. Yaya... I decided to combine a keep answer short and sweet. Lost weight cause of braces which I did cause I keep biting my lips. Sweet!
LL saw me... "Wahh... What did you do to your eyelashes? You went to perm?"
Wahaha... Didn't know short eyelashes also can get noticed by people. But, I didn't go perm lah. Not so rich.
Waited for auntM to knock off then left with May & LL. Gossip session immediately. They all buay tahan the mannequin.
Dinner with auntM. Today really eat alot leh! She wanted to eat or lua, hokkien mee, followed by the smooth smooth tau huey. Psychoed me to attend church class with her. Class was ok lor. Know more bout the church and some stuff which I would never have noticed if I wasn't told.
Came back after that. Wasted a few MMS while trying to send ringtone tobro's my new hp. Bahh... sleepy sleepy!

Punctuality Curse
Yesterday was a self proclaimed off day. I didn't want to step out of my house. Why? Cause my lips cracked and hurted like hell. So I was determined to stay home yesterday and down cups and cups of water. Felt so damn bloated after that. But hey, at least my lips didn't hurt as bad.
Today had to clear all my stuff on my table. People were coming to change some parts of the window. So no internet access for me. Boring lah... I could only sit in the balcony and play Spider Solitaire.
Was supposed to meet Grace & Hj for dinner. I even laid out my clothes in advanced so that I won't have to go into my room when the window works were being carried out. Daddy requested that they do my room first cause I'm going out. So my room was done first then I can clean up the dust and shift back my stuff. No matter how I try, somehow, somewhere, something will just make me late.
By the time I was done, it was already 6pm. I was supposed to meet them at 6.45pm. I only managed to reach at 7pm. I quickly walked to wherever they were. I know I'm blur and I don't really recognize people when I'm in a hurry. But then, something striked my mind when I saw this pram. I looked up at the lady pushing the pram. Her resemblance to my ex relative-in-law was just too similiar. She was even speaking her native language which distinguishes her even more and confirmed my doubt.
If the baby in the pram is really her's. Hmm... I don't know. I shall not speculate too much. But I shall try to find out more.
Met up with them. They decided to eat Pasta Mania. After eating, it was shopping time.
Tra-la-laa. Rather pleased with my purchase.
How often do I buy light coloured clothes? Once in a while.
How often do I buy skirts? Seldom.
How often do I buy a skirt which is light coloured? Never!
My very first light coloured skirt leh! Usual cost $49. It was on sale at 15 bucks. Tell me how can I resist? Hahahaa!
Grace's eyesight very powerful. Can catch the word "Sale" even while we are walking very far away from the shop. Then she will lead us in. But then, I didn't see anything which I liked.
Hmm... After that walked around a bit more and headed home already. The two of then gotta work tomorrow.

FYP Demo
First of all, glad that Xl has been discharged.
Ok... On with my post.
I'm a bit paranoid about my demo. Jas said that my 2nd marker was fussy, ask a lot of questions and some other things. Not very positive. I was afraid that my 2nd marker would turn out to be the replica of the previous 2nd marker, mean and impatient.
I wanted things to go smoothly. I rushed my presentation slides, trying to crap out words to each slide. But as I was lazy, I just used back my previous presentation slides and edit from there lor. I don't want to re-do the animation, fonts, colours or whatever thingys. I only managed to sleep at 5am. Woke up at 9am. Then started to print some stuff. Damn it lah... I didn't format my spreadsheet. Had to waste time formatting it. Then I didn't find my formal clothes in advanced. Bascially, just grabbed from the cupboard. Pants not ironed. But heck lah, no time liao. Somehow my pants shrank lor. I think I was supposed to hand wash but the other time too lazy I went to machine wash.
Thinking that I would arrive not in time to prepare for the demo, I decided to take cab. Maybe 'kan cheong' was written on my face. The cabbie rounded down the extra 70 cents for me perhaps so that I don't have to wait for him to count the coins. Anyway, my demo is scheduled for 2pm. I reached at 12.30pm.
I went up to the room, only to find that I was not authorised to enter without the access card. How? Cannot enter earlier to prepare. Went into another room to sit and stone a bit.
12.45pm, went to change into my formal clothes and touch up make up.
1pm came out and went to check if the room got another person doing demo or not. Nobody. Immediately called supervisor to see if he could come open the door for me.
1.05pm, went out to check again, a guy who was previously sitting outside went in. Bahh... Sms supervisor that there wasn't a need to come down. But he still came down anyway. From then on, there wasn't anything I could do. Besides sitting outside waiting and starring at the wall and looking at the students who walked past each time. Wanted to divert my attention and nervousness elsewhere. Wasn't in the mood for music. So I started to pray. Pray that everything would go well. That the 2nd marker would not be so ngeow.
1.40pm, the guy who was doing his demo previous came out. I decided to gather my stuff head to the toilet again and wait.
1.50pm, the guy packed up and came out. Damn him! He purposely walk out and close the door so that I can't go in lor. Even if he don't hold the door also never mind lah. But he purposely pulled it shut! What kind of ass is that sia? There was this man inside. Never seen him before. Maybe a new lecturer? Anyway, I tried my luck and knocked the door. He came to open. I asked, "Sir, can I come in to prepare for my demo?" He just pointed to a laptop there and walked back to his laptop and typed away. I thought he was my 2nd marker and wanted me to use that laptop to do my demo. His face looks quite stern and unfriendly, I dare not ask further. I looked at the laptop. Saw some application and windows opened. Thinking that maybe it was the previous jerk-of-a-guy who used it but didn't close programs, I went to close it and tried to see where was the network folder to find my files to use. Eh... Can't find lor. How to demo like that? Previously, we had to use the projector to show our stuff. Can't be 3 people crowd around 1 screen and look right? Because the man in the room was minding his own business, I dare not ask. I just set up my own laptop to use the powerpoint slides. After setting up, I decided that it was pretty ridiculous to set up without the projector. I shut down and went to the front of the class to set up the projector.
2pm. Supervisor and 2nd marker came in together with this guy who came to collect his laptop. If he didn't collect it before I start my demo, he may have to wait another hour to get it back.
So the laptop is his? Oopps... So I actually closed his programs? Double Oopps! Then why did that man point to it for me to use? I thought I was supposed to use that. Bahh!
Identity of the mysterious man was solved. 2nd marker saw that man and commented, "Wahh... First time I see administrator keying in results even before demo."
Administrator??? Bahh... I felt bad that I went to close those applications on the laptop. He could have been doing halfway then I just exited it.
I was nervous again. 2nd marker arrived already and I my laptop still not set up. Would my marks be deducted? If it was that previous 2nd marker, she would have shown that buay song face and cry father. While the 2nd marker was settling down, my supervisor was nice enough to help me turn on the projector and get the wires ready. I was expecting my 2nd marker to be like how Jas's had described to be based on her friend's experience. I was so anxious that I didn't even drink water. With my dry throat, my voice did crack a little initially. I was pretty jittery.
I was still trying to get my powerpoint slides to run while I was standing up. 2nd Marker: "Err... Jessica, why don't you take a seat? Make yourself more comfortable." I was a bit surprised!
Why? Cause for 3 years, we were taught to do formal presentations standing up with a good posture, proper body language, don't look at screen all the time and maintain eye contact. Anyway, that brought down the wall of formality. He didn't seem as bad. It helps that both my supervisor and 2nd marker seems to be like friend-friend instead of mere colleagues. They still made jokes in dialect and all that. Supervisor still can cut me in the middle of the sentence to help me continue explaining.
Anyway, after that I was supposed to leave the room for them to discuss my grade. Did a bit of comparison to the previous semester's demo today's one was definitely a more lively session and after 5 mintues, I was not tensed anymore. Whole demo lasted bout 40 minutes. The previous one lasted a mere 20 minutes. Previous supervisor didn't help much. Previous 2nd marker keep on giving the impatient face.
Went back in the room and asked for my results. Hmm... Confirmed pass demo. Maybe even can get C. But its only 20%. Can't say bout report part yet.
Heh heh... Thank God that my prayers were answered!
=D
Felt a bit bad that I didn't accompany daddy to eat dinner. So he only ate instant noodles alone while I head for therapy. Everytime after stressful brain draining activities happen, I need it to keep myself sane, relax a bit, pamper myself or just cause I think I deserve it. To be exact, its retail therapy.
Went to get my eyes checked after a week on the trial pair of lens. Anyway if I don't use the $15 to offset, I also won't be able to get it refunded. Normal lens I still have. So just buy coloured ones instead lor. Met up with Ade and went to eat Pizza Hut. Ate the cheesey pizza. Its nicer to eat it there compared to eating the one Bro ordered when his friends came over.
Oh oh! I finally finally got myself new earphones!!! Haha! Yippeeee...
Buahaa... Spend spend spend!
Came home and daddy asked, "So what did you eat for dinner?"
Me, "Pizza Hut."
Daddy, "Haiyohhh!!!"
His reply has 2 meanings.
1) Its restaurant/ex food again. 2) I'm eating so called "rubbish".
Ok... On with my post.

Anyway, that brought down the wall of formality. He didn't seem as bad. It helps that both my supervisor and 2nd marker seems to be like friend-friend instead of mere colleagues. They still made jokes in dialect and all that. Supervisor still can cut me in the middle of the sentence to help me continue explaining.
Anyway, after that I was supposed to leave the room for them to discuss my grade. Did a bit of comparison to the previous semester's demo today's one was definitely a more lively session and after 5 mintues, I was not tensed anymore. Whole demo lasted bout 40 minutes. The previous one lasted a mere 20 minutes. Previous supervisor didn't help much. Previous 2nd marker keep on giving the impatient face.
Went back in the room and asked for my results. Hmm... Confirmed pass demo. Maybe even can get C. But its only 20%. Can't say bout report part yet.
Heh heh... Thank God that my prayers were answered!
=D
Felt a bit bad that I didn't accompany daddy to eat dinner. So he only ate instant noodles alone while I head for therapy. Everytime after stressful brain draining activities happen, I need it to keep myself sane, relax a bit, pamper myself or just cause I think I deserve it. To be exact, its retail therapy.
Went to get my eyes checked after a week on the trial pair of lens. Anyway if I don't use the $15 to offset, I also won't be able to get it refunded. Normal lens I still have. So just buy coloured ones instead lor. Met up with Ade and went to eat Pizza Hut. Ate the cheesey pizza. Its nicer to eat it there compared to eating the one Bro ordered when his friends came over.
Oh oh! I finally finally got myself new earphones!!! Haha! Yippeeee...
Buahaa... Spend spend spend!
Came home and daddy asked, "So what did you eat for dinner?"
Me, "Pizza Hut."
Daddy, "Haiyohhh!!!"
His reply has 2 meanings.
1) Its restaurant/ex food again. 2) I'm eating so called "rubbish".

Back From Hospital
So I didn't managed to get hold of Xl. But thats ok. I called her home to get ward details from her mum. Met up with Hj & Grace and headed over to the hospital.
Upon entering the ward, it just felt so weird. The sights, the sounds of hospital stuff and feeling were similiar. Only difference was the hospital. Don't know how to describe the feeling but it left me quiet most of the time.
Xl was the youngest there. The rest of the patients were at least 45 and above. She could barely talk. No appetite to eat or drink and have to rely on drip.
Looking so lethargic and tired, dengue fever has really taken a toll on her.
Oh well, just pray that she recover quickly. Else, she will miss out a lot of her classes and will feel weaker by the day.

Get Well Soon
Just received news that Xl has been admitted into hospital. Suspected dengue. *Damn those mosquitoes...* She was unwell since monday. Till now has been bout 4-5 days already. Wonder if condition worsened or getting better. Hopefully its getting better.
Don't know later going down to the hospital or not. Tried calling her hp but then no answer. Sms also no reply. Don't know the ward and all that so not sure if still going or not.
Anyway, Xl take care and get well soon. =)

Different Perceptions
Different people have different perceptions. We can never please everyone.
A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home, a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why none of them ride on the donkey?"
Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked beside them.
Later, an old man saw them and said, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?"
The wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.
Later on, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman."
The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey.
Then, they met a young man. He said, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you."
The husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders. It seemed to be the only choice left.

Blueberry Or Kiwi?
Yesterday when I was rushing to prepare myself to go out, I actually just grabbed a cup of yogurt and gulped it down. Since I was in a rush, I didn't bother to see what flavour I took. But I thought I grabbed blueberry. When eating it, I was actually wondering how come the bits of fruits inside didn't look blue. It looked greenish. Anyway, was late already so I didn't see the cup to confirm the flavour.
Just now when I wanted to try the kiwi flavour, I was searching for it in the fridge. Couldn't find it. I saw the rest of the cups and the blueberry one. Then I realised that the one I took yesterday was kiwi instead of blueberry. *Smacks head* I'm damn blur... OMG!
Met up with auntM for dinner just now. Oh well, maybe will go work soon. After report handed in that is. See how things goes yeh?
Godma came over with the cheese cake she baked. Hmm... Something went wrong lah. Haha!! More like an inverted chewy cheese cake cause the cheese was only less than a cm thick. The rest is the crust. Anyway, we laughed it off cause it was a first attempt. Waiting for the next round cause she took back my recipe book to try a different recipe.

Damn Blur
Sigh... Whenever I try to sleep early, I end up getting waken up very early. Not by my biological clock. But I by a sudden surge of sms-es. Today's lot of sms-es were mostly from Al cause meeting her and Jas in the evening. I also can't recall what I replied. Wahaha!
Anyway, when I finally woke up, I was still pretty early to go meet her. So I decided to do a bit of reading. By the way, Al, if you are reading this, I forgot to tell you that your admirer last time gives advice in the Straits Time's Digital Life. I saw his name there, but not too sure if it is really him or not. Haha! Also read Cleo before going to prepare to leave.
Kk... Here is the story of my blur block headedness that even I feel like banging the wall just now.
Walked out of the door only to realised that I forgot to bring my handphone. No choice, I had to walk back to my home to take it. Today my hp is a vital equipment. If other days I don't bring still never mind. But today going to meet up with them but to contact time and all that still pending. So had to make my way back to the MRT station again and I was digging into my bag to find my Ez-Link card. Shucks... I left it in my other wallet.
I tried to find coins so that I can buy the single trip card. Sian... I also don't have enough coins. Notes leh? Don't have!! I didn't go out for a while so didn't replenish cash. So I happily went to queue up at the ATM. Queue, queue, queue, until it reached the person before me. I took out my wallet about to whip out my ATM card, only to find the slot where I put that card empty. Wahh good lor... Tonight maybe going to eat restaurant or somwhere to chill and I'm now only left with a few coins and noteless. Bloody pathetic.
Go to the other bank which I don't have much money one. I also don't know why I'm maintaining that account despite being charged for not hitting the minimum amount every month. Slotted in the card, hoping to see at least 50 bucks but bloody hell, there was less than that. Withdraw whatever I could and went to take cab. Although I was already so broke, I still took cab cause Al was already on the way to FEP. On the cab, I realised I forgot to bring camera. Sian full lah... So long never meet up already then I thought I'll bring camera since the 2 of them were working and never bring. I felt like banging my head against the cab door.
Finally arrivd at FEP. Couldn't recognize Al who was sitting there. I even wanted to call her to ask where was she. Haha! Accompanied her to eat at LJS. Then walked walked around and headed over to Wisma, hoping to find Jul working but she wasn't. Too bad! Don't know where Nur working so don't know where to start finding. Makan ice cream while waiting for Jas. We waited at a different area so that we can try to see if we still can recognize Jas when she walks out of the station or not. But then, we both failed. See lah, working makes one's style of dressing change. Haha...
We didn't eat at restaurant cause we got post dinner activities planned. Not going chilling at some pub cause one under medication one gotta stay up late tonight. Since I'm not alcoholic, I don't bother also. Had Mac instead. Jas seemed fascinated with my braces. Anyway we planned to go Cine to play arcade or pool.
Over at Cine, we went to take those Neoprints. Haha... Long time never pay money to take. The last time not counted cause I used digicam. Today no choice cause I forgot to bring mah. Then it was arcade time followed by pool.
Hee hee... Nice to meet up with them. Had a nice time. But must thank them cause the 2 of them paid for most of the stuff. *Thank you gals. Wait till I start work ok? haha...*

Red Assed Face
Hmm... Yesterday immediately after submitting my project, meeting my supervisor and returning school library book, I headed home after going to collect my new pair of contact lens. I nearly fainted on the bus. Although I didn't eat lunch or what, but I wasn't going to faint cause of that. I was about to faint cause the bus I took is not the usual bus I take to get home. I took a different bus. This bus service, passes a lot of schools. When I say a lot of schools, I really mean a lot! At least 10? Or maybe even more? So anyway, school was over few hours ago. Students stayed back for their CCAs or just to play. When there are CCAs or after playing, they are bound to sweat. You think they bother to wash up before heading home? I'd say hell no! Imagine at each stop, at least 8 students board. Out of 8, at least 5 of them contribute to the smell. So if there are more than 10 schools, there are at least 50 students who kindly contribute to the smell and since it was an aircon bus, the smell just lingers even after they alight. I simply chose the wrong time to go collect my lens. *Bleeaaaahhhh*
Collected my lens and headed home for lunch. Tummy growling like an orchestra. After I satisfied my hunger, I went to the post office to a bag via registered mail to the buyer. Yeh, I managed to sell another bag online. Hahahaa! This one I didn't type the price wrongly. So I earned some money while clearing my cupboard space. After all, its a brand new bag which I got from buying my face stuff. I don't think I'll ever use it so might as well sell off lor.
I actually said that the first thing on my shopping list after I submit my project would be earphones right? But... The mall I went to, happens to have Watsons, SaSa & Popular on the same level. Climbing up the escalator Watsons is the first in my sight. I went in to see if there was anything interesting I could buy. Nothing much. I only ended up buying pimple cream. Stress from the programming has led to some breakout. *Sad right!!!*
Before walking to Popular, I would pass by SaSa. With only the intention to buy one of those pimple squeezer cum blackhead remover. Circling the shop to see anything I could use to pamper myself. The sales girl came over as she spotted me checking out those facial masks. Told me buy 3 get 1 free. Hmm... She was nice enough to read me the chinese words on the pack cause I don't know what the hell was stated there. Haha! Bought that too and some glove thingy. Couldn't buy too much cause I still had to go shop for groceries. I had no choice but to skip going to Popular to buy my earphones
I think I'm deprived of shopping already. Heading to NTUC to do shopping therapy is a bad bad idea. Basically I bought somethings which I don't even know when I'll use. Haha... I think I'm suddenly high on dairy products. Bought 6 cups of yoghurt, 1 tin of milk powder and 1 tub of cookies & cream ice cream when I still got ice cream in my fridge. Shoe spray when I wear slippers or sandals most of the time. Fabric refresher? Haha... My room is in a mess and I have yet to really clear it. Still wanna refresh what? Biscuits and a can of pumpkin soup which I've never tried before. Lucky the milk powder is bulky, that stopped me from buying too much. Its silly to buy buy buy and after that cannot lug it back home.
Ohh last night I fell asleep with my earphones again! Anyway, I remembered to change it to the spoilt one before that so not so bad. Lazed in bed for a while. Then decided to try the pumpkin soup I bought. Hey, its pretty nice leh. Not bad not bad.
Today shall be pamper myself day. I did a DIY facial. Went to steam my face, extract pimples and blackheads, exfoilate and mask. After all that was done, I also went to eat my cookies & cream ice cream. Hj was kinda suprised that I eat ice cream cause she thought I was very enthusiastic bout dieting. But, nahhh I don't deprive myself. I think the more I eat such stuff, the more weight I lose. Bahahaa... Don't know why like that also. Cause I was eating chocolates for the past few days but not just maintain seems to lose leh. The only downside? Ulcers popping out only lor. Aiyah, I'm now on a sugar high anyway. Got craving for sweet stuff. Haha...
Another reason to buy new earphones, my earphones which has both sides working but gives me the electic zaps has gone bonkers too! I dropped my mp3 player twice today by accident. Lucky got casing so not so bad. But it did tug the wire pretty bad. After that the music I hear sounded as if the singers were backup singers and with a serious case of echos.
*Eeeeekkk!!!* Towards the evening, I noticed my I've evolved into a red assed faced lor! Ok... I think I over exaggerate. I don't look like a baboon's ass. Its just a few red spots here and there. After doing so much squeezing and all that, sure red also. Can't be helped right? Sian... Now just wait for the redness to subside ba. Not going to follow the new 7pm or 9pm drama serial. Shall keep myself free during these times.
Suddenly I don't feel like going anywhere for holiday. Singapore seems to be the safest place now. No money to go too far, so lets leave out the Western countries and Australia. Why I shouldn't even consider going countries in Asia. Where should I start? Hmm... Ok, Malaysia... haze which is clearing and blowing towards Thailand. Thailand's Chiang Mai got flood! China... also flood. Japan... Earthquake!
Oh that reminds me, uncleN & auntS are backpacking in China. Thank goodness the flood is in North East not North West. Anyway, they just emailed me today. So not so worrying.
Wow... Its not even midnight. I'm starting to feel tired. Yawnn!!! Tomorrow... I should get new earphones.

A Third Down
YeeeeeHaaaa!!!!!! Finally!!! Yeah Yeah Yeah!!!
I'm so happy! Smiling from ear to ear, well almost. Cause from this moment on, I'm officially not allowed to modify my program anymore. Otherwise, its considered as CHEATING.
I just submitted my program. Had a pretty good night sleep last night cause I managed to solve my problems and at that point of time, it was running ok.
Now I'm waiting for my supervisor to show him the final version of what I submitted. That time he said that if I can get it working, can pass. I just hope he don't duah me lor. 20% of module leh...
Ok lah...Not that bored waiting alone as long as I got mp3 player and laptop. Haha...
Hmm... Blog bout yesterday. Got caught in the rain, lucky met aunt. Sheltered me to the coffeeshop while bro ran there in the rain. Haha.. He's made of stainless steel mah... I'm made of sugar will melt. While having lunch there, she told me that she didn't know that grandma didn't know someone. So when she introduced them earlier in the day, I think my grandma got a bit of shock or was it surprise? Anyway, as selfless as she usually is, she asked bout others instead. But yeh, everythings cool.
Came home after the rain stopped, my laptop was damn lag. Last person to used was 2nd bro and he was playing game. So ended up getting some verbal lashing from me. What to do?? One day before project due then see problem, tell me how stressing is that? Anyway, after rebooting again it was more or less a bit more stable.
Then it was coding coding all the way till night. Bahh... Stressed! To add on to my stress, someone was talking to me. Some money issue lah... Then I was actually suggesting that that someone should try to get sponsorship or something. But instead, that someone misunderstood it and thought that I didn't understand that once start working, can't get sponsorship. Although it was some misunderstanding, but I just felt that the way that someone tried to stress that I can't simple word No was just mean lah. Said that I always ask fei hua questions and always must make that someone repeat and repeat. Darn... There I was, trying to be nice, giving suggestions while toggling chat and project and you say I always like to ask stupid questions. As if you never ask me repeated questions. Fine lor... I quitted msn immediately and concentrated fully on my project. Hao xin mei hao bao! (No good comes out of being good!)
Managed to get Bro to help me do some debugging. He only tells me whats wrong and expect me to solve it myself. Think spoon feed meh? No lor...
Though most of the time, was due to me carelessly overlooking some stuff.
Eh... After blogging so much, supervisor still haven't call leh. Sian... Why why? Whats taking him so long!

A Birthday Gift Came Early
Tee hee... I got an early birthday present today. No no, it should be very very very very early present. I wasn't expecting to get it now. In fact, I wasn't even expecting the gift. If I got a gift from him, I would probably expect it to be earphones more than anything else. But why the surprise? Hee hee... Read on...
See, recently there is this advertisement on television for this BossaNova CD. Some chilled Brazilian Soul kinda songs. I actually found some of the songs they played during the advertisement quite nice. Furthermore, I've heard it being played at some event before. So 2 nights ago, after watching the advertisement again, I saw the title of the song and I asked bro to search it online to see if they have it. It was hard to find cause the title of the CD is BossaNova. But bossa nova is just one of the many forms of Brazilian music other than samba, brasileira or lambada. So typing bossa nova actually had so many results and he didn't know which was the one. Anyway, I didn't bother anymore since I realised that it was like searching for needle in haystack when you don't know the singer, know only the song title and album title which is also the genre.
Today, I bugged 2nd bro when he was using the computer.
Me: My earphones 1/2 spoilt. Can only hear one side leh... How? Buy me new one leh. (I was thick skin... No reason just ask him to buy. Haha)
bro: Mine too! How? Why not you buy for me lah!
Me: Don't like that leh... Buy for me lah...
bro: Siao ah? Buy for you??? I don't have so much money lor.
Me: But you got more than me!!
bro: Waste my money...
Me: Wahh leoww...
Anyway, bro went out for some competition. Said he wasn't gonna eat dinner so I expected him to probably go out with his friends after the competition. But he actually called to check if there was food for him. I didn't hear my hp so didn't reply his sms or answer his call. Called home number than 1st Bro picked up. Said got extra... He came back.
Godparents were over too. So godma asked him bout his competition. Then he said he got something for me. Asked me to go over in a sneaky way. godma was curious and want to know why so secretive. Haha...
Anyway, he passed me a bag and I opened it, *tadahhh* the CD!!!
Awwww.... The sweet little mean bugger. Sweet cause he bought me a gift so early cause he didn't manage to help me find it. Little cause he is my younger brother, well in terms of age, lets not digress and talk about height. Mean cause he always tries to be mean to me (see above conversation bout the earphones). Bugger cause erm... no reason. Just call him whatever I feel like calling.
He didn't bother to peal away the price tag or anything. Probably guessing that it wasn't going to be much use. After all, a shopaholic like me would probably walk past some CD shop soon and will also know the price. Haha...
Next on my shopping list now is earphones. Gonna get them replaced after I submit my project on monday. Then I got time to go shop shop a bit. Haha!! I prefer to listen to surround sound instead of just one side. Digging up my other earphones to see if any still can use, but only to find out all only working one side. Bahaha... I know why. I sometimes listen till fall asleep.
Oh wait, I found one, both sides working. But the wire is exposed, it sends some electric zaps *Ouch* when I accidentally touch it with hand or if it brushes against my neck. Must be caused by chucking it in bag and tug and pull whenever I want to take it out of bag that the wire all spoilt. Shite...
Note to myself: Do not sleep with new earphones. Put earphones neatly in bag.
Ooo... Now that I'm listening to the album, I realised that the Austin Power song from this genre. Cooool!!! Grooovvvy Baabyyy.
See, recently there is this advertisement on television for this BossaNova CD. Some chilled Brazilian Soul kinda songs. I actually found some of the songs they played during the advertisement quite nice. Furthermore, I've heard it being played at some event before. So 2 nights ago, after watching the advertisement again, I saw the title of the song and I asked bro to search it online to see if they have it. It was hard to find cause the title of the CD is BossaNova. But bossa nova is just one of the many forms of Brazilian music other than samba, brasileira or lambada. So typing bossa nova actually had so many results and he didn't know which was the one. Anyway, I didn't bother anymore since I realised that it was like searching for needle in haystack when you don't know the singer, know only the song title and album title which is also the genre.

Freaking Tired...
Enough!!! Stupid database. Stupid SQL statements. Stupid GUI. Stupid codings. Last night, I was doing so much. That I basically slept with SQL statements running through my mind.
Its irritating to suddenly wake up at 4am, with the thought, INSERT * From Product statement in my head.
It sucks to wake up again at 5am, after dreaming of statements like: IF ((A1=0, 0,1) WHERE(B2=0))) or something to that extend.
Its draining to wake up again at 7am after seeing more IF...ELSE, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, WHERE statements swimming in my mind.
So tired that by the time I was supposed to wake up at 8am, I was just too tired. Dad dragged me up. Making me sit up so that I won't fall back to sleep. Then he went to prepare to go out. Only coming back to my room and seeing me back on mine pillow.
So tired that although I know I had to wake up but just didn't have the energy to get up. I crawled out of my bed to the sofa tosit stone. Fell back to sleep again. This time dad leaving home already. Got up to close the door for him, only making my tired arse back to my bed and sleeping.
Finally woke up after thinking of those stupid statments. Had enough lah! I don't want to think liao. Prepare to go school.
Met up with supervisor. Bahh.. Supposed to meet at 11am. I reached at 11.30am. He didn't say anything; probably anticipated it the "grace" period already. Meeting lasted almost an hour. Showed him what I did... Sian lah... So many errors suddenly popped out. Damn it!
Anyway, asked supervisor a lot of questions. Some a bit lame lah. Like, "how is the 2nd marker ar? Strict or not?" "If I really run into error than how ar???" "Would I have marks deducted cause of this or that..."
Met Xl for lunch after school. Then headed home and promptly fell asleep onto the sofa dead as a log. So still that dad came back and started talking to me but I could barely even open my eyes or activating my brain.
Is this life?? I think its a rather lack of it. Shite...
I'm having a bad day. I need a blue sky holiday...

IT is driving me nuts!
Haven't really update for a few days already. Shall update while I'm having my lunch now.
Sunday: Couldn't wake up to go to church. Or rather, bro woke up late too so I know confirm will be late. Might as well go in the evening and carried on sleeping. In the evening, met up with Ade to attend mass. Went for dinner and after that met up with Ken. Then went for spin. From seeing plane to see Esplanade, Fullerton, Merlion from another angle.
Monday - Now: What can I say? Boring boring boring... Been trying to do my FYP. I just don't know how to do!! Aghh... Tried asking people for help. Luck just isn't here. Helpful ones who were willing to help couldn't help much cause they don't have the program on their coms to even open it.
Last night supervisor called at 11.45pm. Wahh liao... So late then call lah. Asked me bout my progress and all. Shite! What have I gotta say? I messed up my program. Messed up till the functions which were working previously now can't work. I asked what happens in the event that really can't work and I can only hand in whatever was working last round? Would I be penalised for that? He could only say depends. Sighhh...
Back to brain racking crap for now... Hate IT, Hate IT, Hate IT!

Fireworks!
This post will have lots and lots of pictures from yesterday's fireworks. Photo galore!!!
First, met up with Sw. As usual, I was late. We were supposed to meet at the interchange. It was swarming with surveyors and she didn't want to be approached. So as each minute passed, chances of being approached also increased. I think Sw wanted to skin me alive cause she had to stay in an area far far away. Haha... Whoops!
Took the bus to meet Cf. Yakking non stop till the bus was about to reach Beach Road. We were talking bout those tang yuen (glutinous rice balls) and the peanut soup. Sw suddenly also mentioned bout the char kway teow there. So I suggested that we pressed the bell and go satisfy cravings. So impromtu. The bus was actually only few meters away from the bus stop. Haha...
So we walked over to the hawker centre and ordered:

Tang yuen & Char kway teow

The special thing about this char kway teow is that I can safely eat without worrying that I'll bite into lard. They don't use lard. I also didn't get to eat any chinese sausage so not sure if the ikan bilis is meant to replace it. It is also special because it has vegetables. So much vegetables.
We headed over to Suntec to buy our picnic stuff from Carrefour. Buying chips and drinks, pizza and baked potato. They always got so much sample to offer when you walk pass. So after buying and all that, we proceeded over to Esplanade to picnic while waiting for the fireworks.
View of the CBD area...

Check out the boat. It moves damn slow that the sky turn so dark, it just moved that little bit.

After a while more, it moved a bit more but the sky is also much darker.

Finally gone from sight. But look how dark it became.

Just kidding lah... Those were different boats. Just happened to notice the movement thing so decided to make fun of it.
Love the lights...


Announcement: "Searching for Bad Man! SEARCHING FOR BAD MAN!!!"
"Your help is needed. Please check if anyone tried to jump into the river"

Buahahaa... Ok lah, I was just bored while waiting for the fireworks so I decided to use Py's slippers there. She said she will kill me if I accidentally dropped it in to the river below.
I thought it was at 7pm. Some thought it was at 7.30pm. Some guessed it was gonna be at 8pm. Darn it lah... It was at 8pm. We waited so long just to find a good spot, hoping that we can get a clear view of the fireworks. Unfortuantely, the place where they let the fireworks off, was blocked by part of Esplanade's outdoor stage.
Some of my best shots. I didn't take video cause my camera can only take to a maximum length of 3 minutes per video. Enjoy...










I must say the fireworks was nice. But most of the time, I was looking at it through my digi cam's screen, hoping to get a nice shot of it. After that, we sat that to yak further and finish up our food.
Then it was snapping of pictures, pictures and more pictures.
Me holding a flower balloon which drifted our way while we were having picnic. Since it wasn't anybody's we took it to give it to Sw's brother.

Blur!
Yesterday night met up with Grace, Hj & Xl. Long time never see G already cause she is like forever busy.. Haha.. We went to eat fish porridge. Ok lah... Portion seems smaller if we eat there. Also ate the smooth smooth tau huey. Wanted to go KTV but since its a friday night, the cost will definitely be higher. So we skipped the thought of it and went home instead.
This morning went to redeem the coupon for trial pair of contact lens. I think I'm very blur lor... K, this is what happened. After getting my eyes checked and all, I went to buy BK for me & bro. Using the coupon and adding large onion rings. There were only 2 counters in service. So the queue started to build up. While the person who was serving me went to pack my order, another one decided to take over the counter to ease the crowd. I was asked to stand aside to wait for my order. So I was looking at the person who served me, see what she packed so that I get all the items and not miss anything out. The onion rings were finished so had to wait for the next batch of onion rings. Then she forgot what the items in the coupon consisted of, so she went to take the coupon. Seeing that she forgot what my order items were, I was also guessing that she would forget that I ordered the extra large onion rings. I checked my bag of stuff before leaving the place. Hmm... Saw the small pack on onion rings on top, followed by the nuggets which was 1 of the item in the coupon and saw somemore onion rings below the nuggets.
Assuming my order was complete, I walked away and came home. Along the way, I told myself that I will take the smaller packet of onion rings, large one give bro. So I happily munched on my small pack till almost 3/4 gone. Came back, unpacked and I was like eh... where is the large onion rings??? Wah leow eh... The person actually forgot that I added onion rings lah.
So what actually happened that I assumed that my order was full? The onion rings from the small packet actually fell out and dropped below the box of nuggets. Since the box of nuggets were longish, I thought that the large packet of onion rings were below it just like the fries. But actually, they were all from the same packet. Darn it lah... Another blur act, I buy drink but forgot to take straws.
I told bro bout my blur mistakes and he laughed at me. Buy fast food also CMI...
Sighh... Now going out liao. Ciao!

Back In School
Ohh... Today is the 1st day of the 7th Lunar Month. Which also means its the hungry ghost festival.
It also means that I gotta keep my window closed and on the aircon for the next 30 nights. People burn the paper and the ash (some still burning) will fly up into my house. I don't want to wake up and see curtains burning. So safer to on aircon.. Heh Heh...
Now I'm in school... Waiting for Wati to come and explain some of the codes to me. I can't open the project so I gotta wait for her to come. Poor girl... Printer playing around with her in the morning. Then she gotta rush around.
Anyway, I'm envious of my Bro... He is leaving for Tioman tonight. Few weeks ago just came back from Redang only. Liew... Enjoying life before his school starts.
Tonight maybe meeting up for dinner and gonna eat the fish porridge again cause I find it yummy. Haha...
Tomorrow? Not confirm yet. Yawnzzz... ...

Always Look On The Bright Side
Supposed to go school to meet Wati today. Show and explain to me some parts of her project which I could use in mine. But early this morning, she sms-ed me to say that she has not finished her report due tomorrow. So won't be going to school. Ohh well... Ok, another day then. I carried on sleeping.
Another call which got me up was from supervisor. Asking me if I got anything to show tomorrow or not. I was still sleeping. Voice probably sounded like I was croaking. Not sure If I said any wrong things. But I said don't have. Will probably need over the weekends to do lor. Meet on wednesday instead. He said ok. Ended the conversation with, "Haha... Enjoy doing project over the weekend and holidays ah.." Yeh yeh... So my weekends and the public holiday is gonna be used for projects. Sucks!!! I fell back to sleep soon after.
Woke up to another message. Godma complaining that I forgot her birthday. I knew it... I was expecting that sms to come sooner or later part of the day. Called her up to explain and offered to treat lunch at Marche. She declined. Saying that I have no money cause no job. Don't need present also lah... Wait till I start working, then she will ketuk me with meals at expensive places and I can start giving her presents for birthdays. Ok lor...
By the end of the month, I will be free... But I won't know if I pass or fail caues official results will only be out in October. Doesn't matter if I look for job or not anyway. Cause if I pass means I get the will-soon-turn-yellow-diploma. I can go look for a job. If I fail means debarred lor... I also can go look for a job. So... Sigh... I rather get the will-soon-turn-yellow-diploma. At least to signify my effort over the years. Sian... I hate my life now.
Waiting for daddy to buy my dinner to come back. I requested for fish porridge. I feel like a granny. I feel like my teeth are not being used like they are intended for. Sigh... Never mind. I shall bear with the disadvantages of braces for this period.

Itchy Itchy...
Woke up to the loud downpour. Rushed to close the windows. Time to wake up too but it was such a nice weather to get out of my cosy bed so quickly. I decided to laze in bed a little while more. Snuggling with my pooh bear, so big, so cuddly. Then I felt something missing from this beautiful relaxing state. Ahh... Music! Thats whats missing.
After enjoying my snuggle, I decided to get up and change my bedsheets. Suddenly had these lot of rashes developed so now gotta keep place dust free. Not only did I change my bedsheets, I still went to clean my bed frame, wash my bedsheets and cleaned my room further. Anything that could be vaccuumed would be vaccuumed. House floor, room's whiteboard, even magnets on whiteboard. Hee hee... Now my bed has clean sheets and it looks so tempting for me to just dive back and laze.
Haa... My bedsheet has been with me since secondary school days. Still in good condition but they are quite childish. Who cares... I like can already.
Dad's friend told him that I seem to have run down quite a lot since the first time we met few months ago. Dad relayed the comment to me just now.
Me, "Really? Can tell meh? I don't notice much difference in myself."
Dad (Giving me that oh-my-gosh-you-don't-even-know-yourself kinda look), "Can tell lah... Don't you weigh? How much you lost already?"
Me (With the sheepish look), "Erm... Bout 2-4kg."
Why I got the sheepish look and said 2-4kg lost? Cause I'm ashamed of myself. I actualy lost 4kg. But due to cravings of high sugar, high fat, high whatever kinda food which happens for about 3-5days every month, and the additional temptations of food offered during all the birthday parties. Bloody hell, 1kg came back. The other 1kg, is due to weighing scale problem. It always lies to me. The digital scale aways seem to show extra weight due to the standing position. The conventional one is more reliable. So anyway, the last time my dad's friend saw me was when I lost 4kg. Haha... But since I gained back, I don't want to still say 4kg. So I chose to say 2-4kg. Hahaha... Lame!
My dinner was eating soft food. Maggi Mee cut up into small strands and a tin of salmon steak broken into small bits. Still recovering from cravings so I ate ice cream on top of my usual yogurt.

House floor, room's whiteboard, even magnets on whiteboard. Hee hee... Now my bed has clean sheets and it looks so tempting for me to just dive back and laze.
Haa... My bedsheet has been with me since secondary school days. Still in good condition but they are quite childish. Who cares... I like can already.
Dad's friend told him that I seem to have run down quite a lot since the first time we met few months ago. Dad relayed the comment to me just now.
Me, "Really? Can tell meh? I don't notice much difference in myself."
Dad (Giving me that oh-my-gosh-you-don't-even-know-yourself kinda look), "Can tell lah... Don't you weigh? How much you lost already?"
Me (With the sheepish look), "Erm... Bout 2-4kg."
Why I got the sheepish look and said 2-4kg lost? Cause I'm ashamed of myself. I actualy lost 4kg. But due to cravings of high sugar, high fat, high whatever kinda food which happens for about 3-5days every month, and the additional temptations of food offered during all the birthday parties. Bloody hell, 1kg came back. The other 1kg, is due to weighing scale problem. It always lies to me. The digital scale aways seem to show extra weight due to the standing position. The conventional one is more reliable. So anyway, the last time my dad's friend saw me was when I lost 4kg. Haha... But since I gained back, I don't want to still say 4kg. So I chose to say 2-4kg. Hahaha... Lame!
My dinner was eating soft food. Maggi Mee cut up into small strands and a tin of salmon steak broken into small bits. Still recovering from cravings so I ate ice cream on top of my usual yogurt.

Patriotic Me...
I had 6 or 7 missed calls from godma who tried to wake me up to go for dental appointment. Late for 1 hour. Damn... I had to rush. Today really make up free when I walk out of the house.
Reach dental clinic a few mintues late. Today fixing lower braces. Spent about 45 minutes there. While letting the bond dry, dentist went off to do other things. The nurse gave me the ring of colours to choose from.
She: Choice of colour for this month?
Me: I want red and white.
She: Alternate colour is it?
Me: Nono... I want Singapore flag colour. Upper set red, lower set white.
She laughed.
Dentist came back, asked what colour I want.
Nurse said, "Red & white, singapore flag."
Dentist: "Hahaa... this month's popular colour."
Singapore 40th birthday leh... Must show patriotism to our country leh!
Anyway, I was praised that my brushing is good. Muahaa... Of course lah. One day brush 2 times, and twice during these 2 times. Floss once a day and use mouth wash also. Last time I take less than 5 minutes to brush. Now, I take about 10 over minutes. Can see improvement in my gum condition and colour. I just like that clean clean feeling in my mouth when I know that there isn't tiny particles stuck.
Now that I got both sets of braces done already, I'm adviced to all the more stay away from solid food. Dentist said now that both in place, I have to take note of every bite. Cannot bite too hard and eat smaller pieces of food. But I still went to eat pasta mania for lunch. I wonder if the chef was different or was it cause lunch time then food preparation very efficient. Not to mention, the portion of chicken in my cream of mushroom soup was very generous. Garlic bread was well spread and pretty generous. Creamy chicken pasta's serving of chicken was chunky and also relatively more.
Me and godma took a bus down to the newly opened national library.
Fwaahhh... So many levels. 13 levels altogether. We explored the library. Read some books and watched DVD.
Cheap thrill there? Take the glass lift from highest to lowest floor and hope that nobody presses the button to enter or exit. It feels similar to those heart dropping rides. Only so much milder and not scary.
But what to expect... Its a cheap thrill mah.
After that, went to eat early dinner. Ate at food court. The pressure of the braces started to kick in already. I wasn't able to chew my food. So I was struggling to eat my bee hoon. I could only rely on fork & spoon to cut the bee hoon and other stuff shorter.
I'm starting to get pek cek when I eat already.
I can't even chew a bloody dao geh lor...
Hard to cut it smaller cause it keeps slipping away. I swallowed bean sprouts whole.
Damn it...
So farewell solid food, until we meet again.
Harloooooo liquid food, so we meet again.

Hello Grouchy Panda
I'm in a foul mood today.
Why am I in a foul mood? Many many factors adding up to make me very grouchy today.
First of all, yesterday I only slept less than 4 hours. Then I suddenly developed a bit of rash on my lower arm and knee area. Itching a little occasionally. Damn it...
Make matters worst, I worked through the night to get my FYP going. I had to produce some stuff to show supervisor today. Slept a bit on and off but it was still less than 4 hours. So suddenly within 2 days, I've lost 8 hours of sleep straight.
Lay on my bed while waiting for the desktop to boot up so that I could print my stuff to bring. But I sort of overslept. Supposed to meet supervisor at 11am. I left my house at 10.50am and I ended up having to take cab to school. After entering the expressway, the cab was practically crawling. Speed couldn't even hit 20km/h. Pathetic! I could only sit there and watch the meter jump. The traffic signboard stated "Massive jam blah blah blah". I asked the drive to get out of the expressway at the next exit and travel alternative road.
Reached school at 11.40am. Thank goodness my supervisor didn't scold me. Didn't have much things to show him either. Then discuss project and all that. Asked him the breakdown of my previous semester's marks. After that, was time to arrange next meeting. I suggested monday. Then he digressed to say, "Actually I wanted to sms you to say that meeting at 10am. But since I remember initially in the early stage was set at 10am, you will reach at 11am. Now set at 11am, you also reach late. How come ar???"
I tried to defend myself, "just now the road jam. MASSIVE jam."
He was surprised, "Wahh... 11am is not peak hour also will be jammed?"
Speaking the truth, "Really lah... There was a huge jam. Think there was some major accident."
Him convinced, "Ohh... like that then special not everyday kind of case."
I went to the library to do my FYP. I sometimes wonder how can people be so inconsiderate. They go to the library to enjoy the aircon and chat. Not just soft chatting. They sit in a big group and talk. Laughter was horrible. Got the act cute kinda laughter, hyena laughter, high ptich screeching laughter. *Hair stand* Further more, they run around like kids. OMG...! I couldn't help but just starring at them in utter disbelief and diao them when there was eye contact.
Signs of the grouch...
Waited for Anlin to come collect diploma certificate. Wanted to use my laptop but I decided against it incase I get distracted and surf away my time instead of doing my FYP. (Later you will read on why even if I really wanted to on laptop I also can't go online.) Finally she came. I was getting bored alone in the library.
Collected her certificate and she went to buy her webcam. We went to the library to eat nachos & cheese. Quite nice...
Went out of school so that we can have our proper dinner. Then headed over to NTUC so that she can buy some stuff for her job. I couldn't resist the temptation of this thick chocolate cake which I saw when we were having dinner. Ohh when I went closer to look at the cake, I realised that it only cost $2.80. Its even bigger than those cafes cake and so much cheaper. Haha... I bought it lah...
Headed home after that. This is where my foul mood came back again. Building up from many incidents which happend in just that 1 hour journey back.
The bus arrived just as we had bid each other bye bye. The queue was already quite long and it was a single decked bus. By the time I boarded, there were not much empty seats left except one. Somehow the seats in these older buses tend to be very cramp. My knees would touch the front seat if the person in front suddenly leans back. Further more, had a big bag with me. So basically, I was in a cramped up position and would be that way for the next hour or so.
I fell asleep and since this wasn't like the usual bus where its more spacious so that can slack down a bit, I slept till my neck also very pain. Pain till can't sleep anymore despite being so tired.
The skies start to darken. Suddenly, I see this small black things moving along the window. Ohh fuck! I'm already so squashed up lah... Go away!
Thank goodness the uncle who sat beside me wasn't those chao-buaya kinda pattern who would inch in closer at every opportunity. So there was a bit of gap which allowed me to shift myself away from the window.
To think one small black nymph crawling was bad enough? Shit... Suddenly there were about 3 small ones and 1 medium one crawling out as if they were modelling for roach brand. I inched myself even further from the side.
The person in front of me alighted. The next person just slammed himself down on the chair which of course slammed onto my knees pretty hard.
Basket... Think you very light ar?
The person behind me alighted. The next person sat there. He noticed a bloody medium sized nymph around the front of his seat. Guess what that shithead did? He started to tap around the nymph and got it into slight state of frenzy. The damn thing suddenly scurried towards me lah.
Damn him... This shithead whose brain is located at his arse is damn evil lah... Don't want that disgusting creature near it as if other people want it near them meh?
I didn't stand cause the bus was too packed. To stand with such a big bag would only get myself shoved around by people who want to alight. So as the creature ran towards me, I could only siam. My head is not full of shit like that arse so I did not try to agitate them further.
Nightmare was finally over after 1 and a half hours of gruelling bus ride. I suddenly got urge to write complain email to SBS. See 1 nymph still quite normal. But see 4 at one time, just goes to show that the bus is damn filthy lor... Tomorrow I shall write in to complain...
Anyway, came back home. Didn't eat that whole slice of cake myself. Shared with bro, offered some to dad. Came into my room and saw my laptop adapter on the chair. Tell me, how freaking blur am I??!?!?!? Even if I did really want to show my supervisor stuff on my laptop would be impossible. Even if I wanted to use it in the library while waiting for AL, I also can't. See what lack of sleep does to me?
I'm damn tired... Waiting for the toilet to be vacant.
