ahh.. being able to sleep on my own bed feels wayyyyyyyyyyyy good. (:

this morning, as usual, i woke up at approx. 10am.. then starved till lunchtime where we ate at AMK Ave 4.. the USUAL usual place ya know.. its sort of a routine for us to go there to have our lunch.. well, i had fish ball noodle soup and lemon lime drink and a bowl of NATA DE COCO !!! i am seriously addicted to that dessert man.. haven't got sick of it yet tho'.. hehe.

was supposed to watch dvd with ben at his place this afternoon, but mum suggested i accompany her to ah ma's house to discuss what ingredients we need to buy for the baking of some chinese new year goodies which my ah ma and i will bake.. MUAHAHA. i seriously wonder how they will taste like.. well, we will be starting WORK on wednesday.. hehe. so, i didn't meet ben today.. oh well.

sent jon to bishan swimming complex for his swimming lessons while we went to NTUC @ J8 ! i dunno why but i LURRRRRRRRV going to supermarkets.. maybe cos i can just grab anything i wanna buy and place it in the cart without mum knowing.. hahaha. like the chocolate wafer.. the packet of apricot sweets.. pandan cake... hahaha. just to name SOME. and because we had to bake some of the goodies, we had to buy like LOADSSSSS of eggs, flour and sugar ! had a TEENY accident with a packet of flour, but the act was covered by lynn!!! she quickly picked it up and put it back onto the shelf. or else we may have to actually pay for that packet of flour, and maybe even MOP THE FLOOR !!! yikes!! our receipt was almost as long as a 30cm long ruler.. i don't know how much we spent man.. but its the festive season that is making everyone buy goodies and snacks and giving business to NTUC.

oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AUDREY AND BEN'S GRANDMA !!! (NOT AS IF THEY WILL SEE THIS, but yeah..) haha. X)

i'm sleepy. needa go back to the office to finalize everything.. before we actually QUIT our job.. so i need to get up real early man. oh, and i may be going back to DUD earlier.. was supposed to be 19th feb, but i guess its way too rushed man.. all my friends are going back before the 15th, so mum asked me to call KrisFlyer tomorrow to check for seats. yup.

weeeee. after tomorrow, or rather today, i'm a free birddddddd !! hehe. can start my shopping MARATHON again.. !! lol! by tomorrow, shuo will not be working anymore!!!!! and on thursday i'll be going out with qi and chungie as well.. woohooo.

life is great. :) praise the Lord.

yayy. just came back from KL !! (:

well, actually i didn't have as much fun as i expected.. didn't shop as much as i expected.. but the main purpose of the trip was to celebrate my nz buddy, chwee ling's birthday. and also to visit the rest of the 'gang' lah. jason has already gone to UK to further his studies so he'll be MIA while we slog our way in dunedin. hahax.

well, for the first time, ben and i took a coach bus up to KL ! it was comfy, so i shall advertise a little for Aeroline lah. its a good bus cos of their seats - big and comfy, their service - meals and refreshments provided, and time taken to get there - less than 5 hours man. so.. yeah. if you guys wanna make a trip to KL, take Aeroline lah. it's not very expensive and its worth your money.. you can watch dvd or listen to your own songs at the lounge.

well, we stayed over at chweeling and naihau's place which is at Petaling Jaya, not exactly close to KL city centre. every night, we would be jumping and clapping our hands together, trying to KILL MOSQUITOES !!! poor ben has got like 34 mosquito bites man ! that is HOW horrible can.. haha. he's sooooo attractive to mosquitoes.. haha.

chwee ling's birthday party was mainly celebrated at sunway pyramid. we ate at coca restaurant where caleb and james had booked a table at. it was a steamboat session, just that the cooking and everything was done by the staff ! all we had to do was EAT. makan makan lah. haha. well, ben and i (actually it was just me) got chwee ling a necklace and a pair of earrings. chwee ling has been wearing them since i gave them to her. yippie. HEHE. see? my taste ain't that bad man.. haha.

caleb got her a samsonite backpack, james got a a photo frame (from watson... haha), and caleb and jason bought chwee ling a yummy yummy toffee choc cake. hehe. it was yummy man.. would love to have this kinda cake for my birthday too.. ( BIG BIG BIG HINT) HAHAHA. darn funny eh?

basically, chwee ling and her mum brought ben and i to shop loh.. since nai hau is working and caleb stays far from chwee ling's place and james is forever MIA.. luckily 1 Utama Shopping Complex is very close to their house, so we can shop there.. the place is HUGEEEEEEE!! according to chwee ling's mother, they have actually expanded a new wing, so the place is like.. so much bigger than takashimaya and suntec city man.. i had fun shopping there as well.. haha.

naihau is working at a milk tea cafe at 1 Utama, sometimes we go there to slack and chill while surfing with FREE WIFI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehe. in case you don't know what WIFI is, its wireless internet... something something. haha. naihau told us that there was a customer who mistaken WIFI as waffle ! so he thought they were giving out free waffle ! super funny ! haha.

im sooooooooooooo sleepy now.. but my hair is still darn wet. crap.

something dramatic and bad happened during my trip to KL.. shan't say it cos i don't want to and it's supposed to be kinda private.. but just wanna point out that..

1. don't cry for anyone who won't cry for you.

2. if a break up is concerned, make it a clean one. don't leave the relationship hanging there just like that.

3. MCPs are sucky.

4. i think clubbing really isn't a fun thing to do.

5. singlehood may not be as bad as you think ! you can have LOADS of fun being single man ! that i can ASSURE you.

6. even if you're sad maybe cos of a break up, don't think about it no more, cos life still has to go on.

7. God will always be with you.

8. i'm hungry.

9. i'm sleepy.

10. er.. no more.

haha, okay. ben thinks it was a good trip lah. maybe i should agree with him. we were able to see lazy naihau at work, caleb involved in an accident (just a teeny one.. it happens to MOST retricted drivers. haha), waikong's car alarm ringing non-stop but managed to stop that irritating NOISE, helping someone through a really difficult time, seeing jason one last time before he leaves for UK, celebrating chwee ling's birthday, spending some time alone with ben during the journey, and finally, learning some malay words like 'kesian' (poor thing) and keluar (exit, I THINK!).

okay, i really gotta sleep now. YAWNXxx. will upload the pictures soon.

cheerios.

no... i've been skiving at work for so many times.. and this time i'm feeling really guilty..

firstly, pushing all the work to poor ben..

secondly, i'm helping uncle lee but yet i'm tou1 lan3-ing..

MEAN right?

SO, from tomorrow onwards, i shall work and not complain anymore.. hopefully. (:

this morning, ben and i arrived at the workplace a little past 10. bought breakfast from the coffeeshop downstairs.. he had guo tiao while i had soon kueh and carrot cake.

when it was time for lunch, one of mum's colleague thought she had lost her wallet, so we went down to where she alighted the taxi she took this morning, but still couldn't find it. my mum suggested she go back to the office to check if it's in her backpack. she said she had searched it for many times but my mum still insisted she go back there.. and really, the wallet was there! haha. and the good thing was.. SHE TREATED US TO LUNCH !!!!!

haha, i sound like a PIG.

had bak kut teh somewhere near the office. it was good. had my favourite KUEH TU TU too !! hehe ^^. i was also happy at the same time cos mummy remembered i loved it too.. hehe. SO SHY! HAHA.

yay. meeting joan and shuo tomorrow for lunch at fish n co. i think i have finally dared to have a plate of fish 'n' chips once again. THE HORROR.. haha.. having DISGUSTING FNCs in nz.. eew.

but i think the fish n chips in singapore is so much better than in nz.. do u know with SGD2, you can get a whole packet of fish with ALOT of chips. see also scared. haha.

am multi tasking now.. watching the TV as well as blogging at the same time. cool huh? haha. i know mum is peering into my computer screen as well.. haha. cheeky her. k, shall go concentrate on my tv session. haha.

ciao.

well, a second ago, i was screaming at jonathan (my idiotic brother) who simple REFUSES to sleep early. it went something like, 'let's see whether you can even grow taller than me!'

so pissed with him. its already 1136pm and he is still not in bed.

i mean, he's merely a 9 year old, but he doesn't sleep at 9 plus or 10 at night.. he sleeps at 1 or 2am ok..

according to a reliable source (newspaper i think.), most of our growth hormones are released at night when we are asleep. so JONATHAN CHEUNG can forget about growing tall. next time when he's 'ka-teh' (short) he'll then regret it.. don't listen to jessica what. argh. enough of that brat.

i'm kinda worried right now, cos i was told by ben that he received an enlistment order from the ministry of defense, asking him to report at the enlistment centre on the 28th of febuary.. but he has DEFERRED already !

if he doesn't appeal successfully, he won't be able to go back to new zealand with me.. noooooooooooooooooooooo. please don't let that happen.

he's so sad now, and i don't know what i can do. this is bad. his eyes are swollen, his finger has some weird goose pimple-like bubbles, and now this.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO. i wanna make him feel better.. sigh.

this afternoon i bought a packet of chicken rice from rong chye and his favourite green apple ice blended tea from some cyber cafe @ coronation plaza for him, and some dim sum for his mum..

was glad that he finished up the chicken rice and the drink.. seeing him smile makes my day. (:

watched Stepmom with him.. starring Julia Roberts. an okay show, but a little too draggy i think. its a 2 hour show about julia roberts trying to become a better stepmom of 2 kids whose mum was gonna die of cancer. bleah.

then dinner was prepared by his mum. simple dishes with rice, and kiwi fruits for dessert. mum picked me up from his home and went back home after sending my aunt back to hers.

haven't been updating my blog recently because ben and i are working @ my mum's office. and guess what? i scan clinical documents the whole day. just scanning, and scanNING, and SCANNING.

i think i'm gonna go blind looking at the computer screen for 8-10 hours a day. not good. and the WORST thing is: i don't know how i am paid for this job!! this is absolutely ridiculous.

most of my friends have gotten their jobs as well, so i guess the friend gatherings will slow down quite a bit from now on.. oh well.

OH! yesterday was mum's birthday ! uncle lee (one of mum's colleagues) treated all of us to dimsum @ Tong Lok Sharks' Fin Restaurant. the food was great, the service was great.

haha, but the funny thing was.. when we stepped outta the restaurant, uncle lee noticed a poster outside the restaurant, saying a $20 voucher will be given for every $100 spent, but he didn't receive any! so he went up to one of the staff and say in a funny english accent, 'wei shen me wo wei you?' haha! it was so cute.. and he received 2 vouchers! that meant our lunch was more than 200bucks. PHEW.

janice and i had planned for a steam boat dinner surprise for mummy, and so, with the help of leon (janice's bf), the steam boat session was successful! and janice managed to buy a cake for mum as well. hehe. so happy.

ben was there to celebrate with us as well. we should have more steam boat sessions man! mum suggests i get a steamboat back to nz.. so during winter, we can enjoy a steamboat dinner without having to go to new dynasty (a chinese restaurant in nz that serves yummy ma la huo guo, but has bad service.)

WELL WELL WELL. our wonderful jonathan is back into the study room playing NEOPETS and obviously not attempting to sleep. i shan't blow my top at him anymore. not worth me wasting my breath and time. 'nuff said.

Monday, January 03, 2005

well, yesterday (02/01/2005) had been quite a day.. it had been raining the whole freaking day.. but luckily the rain stopped in the evening.. i went to amk ave 4 to have lunch with ma. had nasi lemak for the first time since i came back. YUMMILICIOUS! hehe. ma had the usual wan ton mee. haha. but the funny thing was.. cos i had a couple of STUPID pimples on my face, i put blemish cream on them, and i forgot to wash it off my face and went to have lunch.. no wonder everyone was staring at my face.. cos some parts of my face were SHINY due to the cream.. so EMBARRASSING!! *BLUSH* but anyhow, we bought carrot cake for jon, and chwee kueh and cheong fun. oh! another embarrassing moment was when i asked the auntie at the chwee kueh store.. i asked, 'auntie, you3 mei2 you3 KUAY CHUP?' then the auntie say 'huh? wo3 men2 bu4 mai4 kuay chup leh!' i was meant to say CHWEE KUEH BUT I SAID KUAY CHUP !!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo!! so paiseh!!!!! ahhh... HORRIBLE.

after that, i was rotting at home (serious ROTTING man.).. rot until 4plus when i called ben i wanted to get out of the house.. too bored.. so i met him at j8. janice called to tell me that they wanted to join ben and i for dinner.. at crystal jade.. so ben and i shopped for just 10min before heading to crystal jade to queue up. they were late!! so ben and i waited for them for 15min in the restaurant. we had this 98bucks set for 6 people which was quite affordable.. haha. ben had a funny moment as well ! cos we had gong1 bao3 ji1 ding1 as one of our dishes, he wanted to try the dried chilli thingy.. and it was filled with those tiny seeds inside, and after chewing for awhile, his face turned bright red!!! haha! he was like 'wah! hot ah hot ah!' haha!! drink water also no use.. and it was like super spicy man! my mum suggested he take in some sugar (yes, sugar.) so he put some on his palm and lick! GROSS!! hahaha! then we told him to put on his spoon and eat.. so funny.. hehe. but i didn't dare to try cos i was afraid it would be worse for me.. i think i'd be crying like mad for water and gulping spoons of sugar.. haha! oh, then janice suggested we play pool before she starts school.. today. since we had red bean soup for dessert, my ma told her that she could only go if she finishes the bowl of soup. janice HATES it alot.. but because she wants to play, she really drank the whole thing down. GOOD ON HER! hehe. we had a wonderful dinner. thanks ma!

jon wanted to come along to play pool with us, but he can't! so while ma and lynn were shopping at the supermarket, we tried escaping BUT TO NO AVAIL. he kept clinging on to me and i was super frustrated. but we managed to escape when we were at the carpark, with jon screaming his head off behind us.. felt soo guilty.. but that was the only way we could have some fun by ourselves. well, i've completely lost my skills in pool. okay, not that my pool skills are actually GOOD, but today i can't play well. i dunno why. janice had a funny logic. she said that if a girl has her menses, she will play well. cos she had some experiences when she got trashed by her girlfriend who was having her menses, and trashed her friend when SHE had her menses. v funny rite.. lol. but we played till 11pm then headed home.

WHAT AN INTERSTING DAY. haha. qi:: i do update ! yayy!! :D

-------> god bless the tsunami victims..*

Sunday, January 02, 2005

OH YA. on top of everything, BEN IS BACK IN SINGAPORE !!!!!!!!!!!!! it was a surprise 'organized' by him and some my my friends - qi, stephie, mel, meiyi and maybe chungie but she couldn't make it to the airport. oh, and my sis.

BASICALLY, ben told them to BOOK me on the night he's coming back.. coincidentally, we LOVE the char kway teow with sugarcane juice at the staff canteen of T2.. then qi SUGGESTED we have dinner there on the night of December 28. while eating, suddenly i felt someone standing in front of me and when i looked up, i saw BENJAMIN ! he was panting and everything, and i was like 'OMG ! what are you doing here?!'

according to my friends, i was so shocked that i kept saying 'i'm very shocked!' okay, all of them expected me to cry, but there was a point of time when i could feel tears welling up in my eyes lah. not exactly crying but was overjoyed ! HEHE.

so for the past few days i've been bringing him around.. showing him what has changed and everything. he has officially become the SUA-KU guy from moomoo land. haha. just kidding. but he has forgotten quite abit of the locations of some places. actually i think i'm worse, so i shan't say more. LOL. anyway, really happy that he's back.. ! 2 surprises in a month! i love surprises!!!!! pleasant ones only hoh. haha. okay, i'm finished talking.
hmm. IT'S THE NEW YEAR and so i'm gonna list down some of my new year resolutions.. let me think..

1. study really hard this year.. get into the course i really wanna get into.

2. save more money.. don't spend too much like last year..

3. try to be more HOLY.. read the bible more often.

4. lose weight.

5. try to name the event of every photo that i possess.. except those zi4 lian4 ones which are impossible to name. haha.

6. meet up with my old pals, even if there's something thats stopping me to do so.

7. grow up.. i'm kinda childish for my age rite? okay, pls don't answer that question.

8. read more books.. only read quite abit early last year..

9. cherish every moment with my friends and family.

10. FIND OUT HOW TO SPACE OUT EVERY SENTENCE FOR MY BLOG ENTRY!! IT'S MAKING ME CRAZY!!!!!

well, basically those are some of my new year resolutions.. i think there are more la.

oh, to digress.. i should be stopping this blogging thing for awhile.. cos i don't know the purpose of letting other people know whats going on in my life.. as a friend of mine said 'if you're gonna blog everyday about almost everything and your friends read it, won't there be nothing to talk about then?' HAHA. that may sound ridiculous but it COULD be true in some ways right? maybe this blog will not contain my everyday life, maybe it will be contained with my thoughts..? i duno. haven't exactly decided what to do with this blog.. leave some suggestions leh.. haha.

it's raining quite heavily outside. makes me think of the tidal wave attack. HAI. God bless the tsunami victims. really very touched with many singaporeans who lent a helping hand.. doing volunteer work and donating money and necessities to those affected. ma and ben's mum even suggested we do some volunteer work at the red cross. yeah, i will man. as the chinese saying goes, 'you3 qian2 chu1 qian2, you3 li4 chu1 li4'. since i ain't got much money to donate, i shall help in my own way. HEHE. any of you guys done anything for the tsunami victims? we should help man! okay, shall stop here. boo.

------->it's still raining..*
