yday was totally Newsroom Part 2.
it was cool la, the whole gang of squashers going crazy together.
but anyway i thought the graveyard was suicidal. seriously.
it was a good mix of music, mambo rnb blah blah. and it was very JJC.
jj post prom. nuff said la.
i saw peppermint! after like 8 months!!! haha she n mao went for prom night together.
totally. the chori chori song. we all went crazy during HEY YA! HAHAHA! LOL.
swong onn jj bryan and mian looked very suave indeed. INDEED.
very spiffy in their shirts and jeans!
lol, that graveyard drink tastes really disgusting leh, i took one sip and i scrunched up my entire face! i'll stick to good ole coke thank you. but i was amazed at how well they took it, considering its said to be one heck of a knock-out drink. heh.

sigh, i'm still not very fond of heels. the only thing i plan to do today and for the whole of tomorrow is to stay at home and sleepp..before school starts again next week. zzz. tons of night classes i can barely take a breather.

the post-christmas gathering on tuesday was great! david marcus gg jocelyn lingzhi simon and i went over to marcus's house la. the food from cold storage was good, especially the ribs and chicken. but, don't get me started on the rock-hard pizza.
we just caught up on each others lives, it has been quite a while since we last saw each other. it's really great to see everyone again. 6 yrs of friendship indeed.

i headed home early cos i got dizzy from lookin at the comp screen. they went lanning you see. i will never understand computer games. never.

and i just realised Grey's Anatomy Season 2 is OUT ON DVD!!!!! YESSAYYYY!!!!!!!
mcdreamy MCDREAMY LA!
channel 5 PLS PLS PLS hurry UP AND SHOW SEASON 3!!!!

anyway, i'm reading Anita Diamant's Good Harbor now, its a tad slow la, but the plot is not bad.. quite touchin at some parts, yet some pages are terribly tiresome to read through. haven't bought books in ages though.
and can you believe i have never watched Sleepless In Seattle before?!
my gosh, i finally got it on vcd! heh sorry laaa.

i went NTUC yesterday LOL then i chanced upon Natures Organics Chocolate Truffle and Creme Brulee shower milk. it SMELLED SO NICE I WAS FILLED WITH PICTURES OF TEMPTING CHOC TRUFFLES AND CREME BRULEES AFTER THAT LA.
just.TRY.IT. its damn good. ok la, its just very nice smelling. and im wonderin where to get apple-scented deodorant. anyone?

simon got me a Coach purse from the States for Christmas. i absolutely adore it. thanks SIMON!

i have not touched my racket in ages! i want.to.squash.now.

i just realised Savage Garden's I Knew I Loved You is so cheesy la. or maybe because the entire cd has been on repeat mode. no wonder i sound angsty.
im an angsty little girl.

its gonna be 2007 in a matter of hours. so fast hor?

its almost 2 past midnight, and it's Christmas. It doesn't really feel like Christmas to me, apart from all the lovey-dovey heartwarming songs from Love Actually. I didn't put up a Christmas tree (i used to put up a really fake white one long ago though), the're's no turkey (there wont be any for the next 10 yrs or so), no decorations, no big fat presents anywhere in the house, so it's just me and my really worn-out Bible for Christmas this year.

i was warbling out Hark the Herald Angels Sing while getting my things done just now. The lyrics were always in my head all this while, just that I never really tried to recall and sing it out loud. I love that song, and it reminds me of my primary school bell ensemble days.

Anyway, I was sane enough to stay at home instead of jostling around, or should i say getting stuck, in Orchard today. The human traffic is crazy, and i experienced it first hand on Saturday.
It was seriously madness la, people around you all going in different directions. If only the Wisma underpass was completed already. The continuous elbowing nearly killed me.

Anyway, i haven't been reading in a while, (8 days is not counted) and i can still see 3 new books sittling prettily on my desk. And i've not gotten presents for my friends yet! URGH. looks like it'll be late, and hopefully not last minute.

ooh, and this is a must-mention! simon bought for me a manicure set from America. THANKS SIMON!
wr meng simon and i were chillin at starbucks the other day, and simon was explaining every detail of how to go about using it. i had to be TAUGHT how to use a manicure set. damn sad right. quite atrocious when i think back now.

it has been an extremely boring Christmas eve, but what the heck,

weiren. you just made my day, merry christmas. says:
a person can be surrounded by ppl but still feels lonely
weiren. you just made my day, merry christmas. says:
whereas someone alone may not feel lonely

very very true. i am alone, but i dont feel lonely. especially when tons of smses and msges from my friends came in just now, i smiled to myself. thank YOU!
thank YOU soo hwei for the Christmas card! i received it the day i bumped into you! =)

i listened to Savage Garden the other day, yea i'm quite a big fan actually.
It doesn't matter whether Darren Hayes is gay or not (apparently yes, he is), he has an extremely unique voice with tons of soul to match. Nick Lachey is well, the more macho and deeper-voiced version. And i found my Steps album collecting dust as well, along with Fann Wong, Shania Twain and Lene Marlin. Shania has excellent songs la, too many to list down now.. but From This Moment On is definitely one heck of a wedding song.

this random thought just crossed my mind, i wanna work in the zoo!

Love Actually has a very good soundtrack though, haha that had Kelly Clarkson before she started winning Grammys. The part where the guy had e placards show for Keira Knightley, just damn sweet laaa... sigh, cant believe school is gonna start again in a week!
and in no time, it'll be exams again. i need to squash more. anyone?

Can you believe what a year it's been
Are you still the same?
Has your opinion changed?

sheesh, i browsed stephen's page just now..and i saw the lyrics for same side of e moon - corrinne may. that song used to make me very very sad..and it hit me again just now. cant believe its gonna be christmas in a few hours soon.. it seemed like yesterday that i spent last christmas with sean strolling around town lookin at decorations. haha i remember we were going through a very depressing christmas.. and we had each other. it helped la really. he's gone into full time mapling now. haha. RIGHT SEAN? =)

i like the whole..christmassy feel. the carolling, the joyful expressions on people faces during dinner..the exchanging of presents.. i just absolutely love christmas.
its not just about the turkey (i haven't had turkey FOR AGES) seriously, its about the whole family getting together to decorate the tree, the little children fighting to climb up and put the star at the top.. and the waking up to oh-my-goodness-there's-toys-in-my-little-stocking!
im so jealous, stephen's gonna go SNOWBOARDING! URGHHHHH.
he promised to show me snow once it starts falling =)
and sheesh, IT SNOWED IN KOREA LA. and i missed ittttt. BOO.

i dont know why, but it just..hit me out of nowhere. i didnt expect it though. haha i remember how i queued up for 2 hours for corrinne may's autograph! and i rmb how i teared when she played the guitar and the piano... she wrote some really depressing songs, seriously. she's damn tall too la.
have not gotten around to purchasing her christmas cd though...hmm.

it has been quite exciting la these few days... jessie I MISS YOU! =)
thank you for the ROSEEEE! so sweet la..bring all the way back from Cameron Highlands!

I'm looking out the window
Where we sat to watch the stars
There's a chill within the air
It makes my heart long for your touch
You may be miles away
But as I kneel to pray

I see the same side of the moon
That we'll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you'll never see all the tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon

I picture you across the ocean
In your corner of the world
I pray the wind will blow my voice
And gently whisper in your ear
Your night may be my day
And though the seasons change

It's still the same side of the moon
That we'll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you'll never see all the tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon

i was in sp yday with the 2 maos and fiona, and i realised that JY IS DAMN PATIENT LA.
-kowtow-
he was actually feedin diff groups of ppl, and he was correcting their strokes one by one.
SERIOUSLY. i remember stephen being this patient too, and it made me realise that its quite hard to find guys like that. i've always had this mindset that most guys are actually more impatient and that some of them have lower tolerance levels.
haiyo. i really shake my head in disbelief sometimes.
im very VERY IMPRESSED. indeed.

anyway, stephen webcammed, and it was good to see the bespectacled stephen again! his room looks really nice too. good luck for his placement test next week!

sheesh, i was doing tons of drills on monday with homan, in jjc and in safra tp, and it made me so freakin tired. my stamina is really lousy. and the blister which i had gotten that day burst yday while playing in sp with my frens. urgh. apart from the shit-i-didn-noe-dat-i-was-bitten mosquito bites, the courts are very good!

will you ever know, will you ever feel...

i honestly hate goodbyes.
i hate going through the same old scenes...
feelin terribly wrecked throughout the whole day and i cant help it.
you never know what you've got til you lose it, apt la really.

it was a teary goodbye for stephen in the afternoon, and it hit me really hard. like REALLY REALLY HARD.
i didnt feel it the past few days cos i pushed all my thoughts to the back of my mind every single time.
i dunno what else to say, and i just sobbed into my jacket.
sigh, i hope he'll be able to handle it well.

thank you to weizhong for e lift to jurong, thank you to jilly for ur shoulder throughout the whole thing, thank you to all the np squashers who comforted me, thank you to bryan for that sms!
and thank you stephen. thank you for making the last few months very memorable.
i salute you for the strong personality that you are, and i hope that everything will go well for you! we should start skyping! :)

stephen, i miss you.

i realised im a huge animal lover. i wanted to use the word pets, but i thought otherwise.

my dad and i went macritchie to take the HSBC treetop trail yesterday. it was pretty breezy so i didn't complain much. it was quite a long walk la seriously, and there were more steps heading down than heading up. i swear dizziness almost took over halfway.

but the view at the top more than made up for everything else. it wasn't very high, but the bridge was pretty stable, so there wasn't any "STOP SHAKING THE BLOODY BRIDGE!". and there were little signboards which elaborate on the different types of fauna found there.
and there's a particular jelly found in cheng ting which is made from a small greenish fruit found there. i didn't know that! it smelled a lot like almond actually, but obviously it isn't la.
we saw monkeys, and squirrels, and different kinds of funghi. the repellent saved my skin in all honesty. been quite a while since i was up close and personal with nature herself. hmm.
i miss my annual cross-country days.

anyway, we headed to pet haven (serangoon north) after that.
i'm such an animal lover i swear. i was soooo damn taken with the hornbills and parrots. and everything else. i want a dog though. anyway i couldn't stop gushing la seriously.
i like squirrels, raccoons, prairie dogs, bears, aiya every animal LA.
i considered working at the SPCA if i had the time...hmmm.

there are many issues which i wanted to blog about but i momentarily suffered a "writer's block" and therefore not able to put anything which makes sense here.

i'm rushing my freakin reports and projects, and its driving me crazy.
i'm pissed off with my immune system because i'm sick YET again. the stupid polyclinic refused to give me antibiotics the last time i went.
now, i know better and visited Healthway instead of wasting my precious time at some polyclinic waitin for some doc to prescribe paracet to me. URGH. so infuriating. i told the Polyclinic doc that paracet doesn't work. he told me it would. and gave me just one day mc. i fell sick with fever again for the next few days. i tell you, it felt like shit.
now i have a freakin throat infection. hope it goes away soon. SIGH.
sad la really. feel so fuckin weak nowadays. had a throbbing headache this morning and had to drag myself out of bed too.
common tests are coming up. i cant wait for my 2 weeks + Xmas + New Year's break.

oh, and on a side note, I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT WHEN STRAIGHT GUYS USE YOU TO GET TO SOMEONE ELSE. it doesn't matter whether we're close or not, but its pretty damn irritating when someone msges u out of the blue(when he never does) to ask for so and so's (slot in pretty girl's name here) contact. it has occurred MANY times and its damn irritating. usually i give la, with the girl's consent of course, but it makes me think very VERY lowly of them. i empathise when girl friends cry and cry over how the guy they like is paying more attention to their prettier girl friend. it pisses me off when they are so bloody fuckin dense, (they know the girl likes them of course) and continue getting close to her just to get close to that particular friend.
be genuine about wanting to talk la, you dont msg and just ask for something because you want it. and females are relenting usually, so please DONT take advantage of that.
within 3 days, 2 guy friends msged me to ask for so-and-so's number. not the same girl la. and due to earlier incidents with other ppl, i decided that i wasn't being overly sensitive. urgh.
i was telling meng the other day, "hm it would be very different if you were straight."
then he retorted, "yea but if i were straight i would have dumped you and went to look for some other girl friend."
haha, yea it was candid and direct, but it was TRUE. ALOT of guys do that, not all though, thank God.thank God seriously.
i'm glad for a lot of friendships built up over the years. very few close friends, but they're enough. and i hope they feel the same way. :) at least i know a few do. haha.
sigh, i really wonder what would happen to the late night conversations.
thank you for making this friendship very real, and making me feel cared for and appreciated.

Driving away from the wreck of the day
And the light's always red in the rear-view
Desperately close to a coffin of hope
I'd cheat destiny just to be near you
