xueqin: yalor.. sch has been killer. i tink we r all in desperate need for playtime.. barbie doll anyone?
liying: haha.. dun worry, i'll finish serving tis term at least. =) its no surprise abt ppl choosing their studies over cca ma. since results is all tt matters in tis bloody sch. tts y i tink we r all rather stupid to stay active.. oh wells, ppl do silly things tt bring abt unexpected surprises sometimes. hehe.
ting: yeap! thanks babe.

tis is gonna be a lengthy n photo-filled entry.. dates r somewhat jumbled up already but amidst proj cramping, i hv been getting a heck of a social life tis couple of wks. being a social butterfly is not easy hor! its rigourous training for my ambitious future as s'pore's top tai-tai. lol. but before i reach tt stage where i hv the priviledge of sapping my husband's money, i can only sadly deplete my own bank acc which has once again reached the stage where withdrawals r barred. zzz. why am i not surprised?


>>PROJECTS, PROJECTS N MORE PROJECTS<<

aft wks of minimal sleep (av. abt 10hrs in 3 days), fast snacks n a zillion reports to vet, the wrk load hv finally begun to fizzle-down. though it is not all over, i decided i deserved one totally wrk-free night. =) but we did seriously do projs k?! esp being the most last min grp as usual, i trust the past 2 wks hv been xiong beyond xiong for the 5 of us. zzz.

tis is proof tt they did wrk...



we booked proj rms in the main lib for discussions coz the pathetic biz IT is perpetually filled with com hackers (oops, i speak as if i book coms via the proper means [kiosk] n dun use cheat codes for free printing). lol. =P

n tis is proof tt i goofed off while they slaved away...



haha.. well, i'm the "advisor" n my real wrk only starts aft they hv all finished crapping n using hanyupinyin wrds in a formal report!!! so my wrk is not tt slack hor.. besides, none of my grps hv complained abt me n my peer evaluation hv been rather tip-top.. =D wat can i say? i hv been blessed with fabulous grp mates! (hey, ur touched ma?)



pretend pretend only ar?!?!



the disgusting mouldy wall tt sp shld do something abt. with such lousy facilities, i really wonder wat they do with our sch fees other than spend tens of thousands brainwashing sec sch kids n funding union activities.. =(



look!! we stayed till fc 3 closed! btw, cold prata sucks even when ur hungry..


>>MOVIE MADNESS<<

there r so so so many shows worth watching now - invisible target, who slept with her, secret, perfect stranger, rush hour 3, the bourne ultimatum, license to wed, ratatouille n evan almighty - but no one to watch them with. haiz. anyway, watched my long-awaited harry potter n the order of the phoenix n diehard 4 already. whee~

harry potter wasn't much like the bk n cho chang is not v pretty. but the kissing scene was nice. *googoogaga* also, the show was v much darker than the previous prequels n harry didn't do much wand-waving. instead, he seemed pretty useless with all the nightmares n stuff. haha. the diehard 4 plot was awesome, maggie q's butt-kicking stunts make girls proud, the grand cathay seats were comfy, the aircon was a tad too cold but the company felt quite wrong. =(



the cathay like me, is going through a jelly bean phrase..



look, i finally bought jelly beans frm candy empire. hehe.. i noe i abit outdated lah. but i'm still quite excited over all its flavours with the exception for liquorice n cinammon. *yucks*


>>HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY BEE BEE<<

celebrated beefong's 19th bdae on the 13th of july.. was early in meeting them n i bumped into EARTH POON YOU YUAN at accessorize! so qiao tt mjc booked an entire engwah theater for harry potter screening so the place was flooded with tt familiar blue uniform.

me: i tink i noe u frm somewhere.
earth: omg!! joy!!

haha.. forgetful me.. gd luck for ur upcoming As yeah? jia you!!!



the evening was marvellous with ting, mz, cher, bee n i talking abt politics, social issues, current affairs, etc.. gosh, time really flies, we hv all grown up n matured in such a way tt conversation no longer hinges around superficial topics like boys, clothes n candy anymore. the scary thing is, i actually tot those "serious" ramblings were pretty fascinating.



dinner was at the crepe restaurant, out of the pan, at raffles city basement..



beefong, the bdae girl.. the blueberry cheesecake was not even bought frm the shop but the chef was still nice enough to deco it free-of-charge!



美女祝你生日快乐!

the seal-in-a-bee-costume soft toy is frm tis really cute store called mother garden at vivo. they hv a bigger version for $33 tt i really like. its the size of a bolster wor.. v huggable! *hint: my bdae coming..* =P


>>HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY BOY BOY<<



i look really short small here rite? no one wld guess i'm the da jie. ^^



he sure noes how to choose a mean choc fudge cake! *licks lips*


>>HOLLAND VILLAGE FETISH<<



checked out the prime angmo hangout place with xq aft a stressful day in sch.. tis place really doesn't hv a s'pore feel as eateries spill onto rds n sidewalks r cramped with pubs. the whole atmosphere is really laid-back but looking at the cars n the way patrons dress, i gather they r all successful individuals who came here to relax n unwind juz like us. haha..

while trying to find the place, we either boarded the wrong bus or overshot our stop as we - hopeless solo girls with no sense of direction - ended up at some police station. tsssssk!! but we did managed to trial n error our way to tis understated nightlife haven lah.



had a salmon bowl frm sushi tei! yummy yum yum..



aft dinner, we went to chill out at essential brews. easy to guess which drink is mine yeah?

xq: last time jason brought some of us here to chill.
(xq's phone rings!)

speak of the devil!! jason was there with his gf too. n its weird to here him speak abt spse so passionately. i guess club needs committed leaders like our predecessors to really shine. for their sake, i'll continue to tahan. i prob can't bring the club to greater heights but i shld be able to at least to stop it frm collasping during my term. lol. muz be practical ma.. if i can't meet the goals i set, i'll be sad de. so with no expectation comes zero disappointment.



stayed over at xq's place n was lame enough to cook maggi noodles at an indecent hr of 1am. haha.. tts a perk of being a girl. u can do silly stuff like tis n then act cute aft making a mess of someone else's kitchen, forget to wash the veg n use too much water. hehe.. i'm not saying i act cute hor! coz i dun hafta act. *rolls eyes* lol.

as tis portion is named "holland village fetish", obviously i didn't only go once.. went again with my the sec 2 clique (suting, wanyee, huiyan, khang jing). dinner was at tis romantic roof terrace restaurant, cafe 211. tis groupie of mine is made up of all the jc smarty-pants n its awful tt they hv all made it into uni while i'm still stuck doing a diploma. its not fair tt they get to yak abt orientation, hostel stay, self-arranged timetables n DEGREE WITH HONOURS!!! *wails*



my lovelies! i call tis brains n beauty. =D



my seafood pizza! its really nice but the price is kinda steep..



n they ran away frm me who apparently behaved like a tourist by photographing perfectly ordinary shopfronts. haha.. oopsy. aft a v filling dinner, we went to haagen daz to relax n it was having a buy-one-get-one-free bev promo! our lucky day..

hy n i nearly drove everyone insane with lame games like black magic, mrt stops, bang-bang, how many meh-mehs jump over the wall, etc etc.. haha. it was funny watching their confused expressions n hearing ridiculous ans. i can't believe tt not too long ago, i was juz as sotong as them. hehe.


>>ICE-SKATING<<



tis is how the girl's toilet at jec looks like. haha.. i noe i look fat in jeans lah. i look fat in everything.



cl n me on the ice. haha.. clumsy me only fell once wor. yay!



darren seems to hv grown taller.. haha. i bet he tip-toe. lolx.



[frm left: darren, me, cheeleng n xueqin]


>>MY BEST SOB-MATE<<

i hv alot of "sob-mates" whom i love n can trust with any amt of bitching n crying.. but for some reason my qiling can miraculously appear whenever i feel alone, lost or upset. sometimes, she'll contact me by instinct or i'll accidently bump into her smiling face around sch. n smiles being infectious, will somehow affect me in ways beyond wordly explanations.. like i mentioned before, she is the best blessing i cld hv had in tis period of uncertainty n as i struggle to regain foothold in life, xq n her hv been my biggest stepping stones. =)



our 'i-am-done-with-all-reports' celebratory pizza dinner at raffles shopping centre's the pizza place before heading to MX to chill healthily with my skinnie minnie n cl's strawberry nirvana.. the ambience, sofa n water feature was fab n somehow, i cld stand facing ben n jerry's w/o feeling a wee bit tempted. haha.. either i hv out-grown my sweet tooth or my desire to lose weight is burning at all time high. though i doubt its the latter coz we were greedy enough to order a massive side dish n a large pizza for juz 2 ppl. plus, i'm munching on banana walnut bread now. forever eating.. cmi sia!



parco bugis junction was having a food fair!! the food was so-so only but the booths hv v interesting "roofs".. darn cute rite?



at the other end of parco was wedding extravaganza.. everything was so so so pretty in a barbie-inspired fairytale sorta way. see s'pore's tallest wedding cake? hv barbie n ken living "happily ever aft" on top wor. nice nice! =)



we were getting our fortunes told temple-style!! XP



i noe i look ugly lah.. tts why till now got no ken wan me lor.



cheeleng then gave me a gong ji tou clip!! haha.. my reputation preceeds me. =P actually, i'm having an obsession with hair accessories these days. it was earrings followed by necklaces n belts previously.. haha.. wat to do? i hv a short attn span.



hmmm, the wrds r too small. i basically wrote: "I was feeling damn good about myself... until... my really tall friend decided to step into the picture with her endless legs in a micro mini..." ahhh, life isn't fair. it granted me with short, stumpy trunks for legs.. *whines*



tis pic hv no sub-title but i was at esplanade's haagen daz with darren attempting FA tutorial 11 n tis is my pink beauty.. yummy!! the boon tong kee chicken rice dinner was finger-licking gd too. haha. n a funny thing happened! darren carelessly left his mp3 behind n me being super wu liao was lucky enough to hv filled up the feedback form (inclusive of hp no.) so the manager called us..

manager: "excuse me, is tis ms joy?"
me: erm ya..
manager: "u left behind an ipod n a pkt of cookies at our outlet of haagen daz."
me: "oh shit! my famous amos!!"
darren: "oh shit! my mp3."

ok fine, its not really funny. but i swear it was waaay more hilarious at tt moment.

well, tts abt it. btw, u guys do noe i'm kidding abt the tai-tai part rite? =P
