gosh, its time to clear the spiderwebs on tis blog.. hv been trying unsuccessfully to upload the china entry but its just soooo laggy tt i gave up. meanwhile, these r what i hv been up to the past mth. sorry for the delay if u hv been waiting for photos. lol!



started sch with buyback duty.. it was hrs of fun with the dearies in aircon moberly while earning $5 per hr. quite easy money hor?



george taking "relax at moberly" quite literally...



on the last day of buyback, i skipped darren's feedback session thingy to go meet geraldine n family at prego where we had an italian dinner...



aunty esther n mommy.. best frens since sec sch. i sure hope i'll still be on brilliant terms with my sec sch frens when i'm like 30, 40 yrs old. heee.



aft a hearty dinner, we proceeded to menotti for lovely gelato ice-creams. yum!

*********************************************************************************

on april 30th, exactly 1 yr of being single, i met up with the ex again.. i heard the gathering was kinda his idea so here was i expecting him to intro a new girl n my reactions to it. splash water on the girl him n walk off with my head held high. muahahahaha..

thankfully tt scenerio only haunted my dreams we had a perfectly civil time tgt with xueqin n darren. he also gave me the seashells he picked some time back so it was comforting to know tt the promises we made still counted for something..



met up with xueqin for dinner at plaza sing first.. the prawn dumpling soup was delicious!



my pretty darling!



me!!! =D



on labour's day, our family n the extended side met to celebrate an early mother's day.. we went to a chinese restaurant near anchorpoint (opp ikea). aft lunch we checked out the newly renovated anchorpoint which to my delight had quite a few outlet stores n a sanrio shop! *squeals*

*********************************************************************************

on the 3rd of may, i met up with the ex so we cld go for the spse gathering tgt. he brought me a kitkat bar, the malaysian type. somehow, aft hurting me for so long n so hard, a simple act like tis cld still make me smile as my heart stopped for a couple of seconds. i find it amazing tt i allow myself to be put through all tis nonsense (the extent of which even i can hardly believe). truthfully to myself, i suppose i hv nv really moved on.

anyway, we caught harold n kumar at cathay tgt with xueqin, sengwang, jessica n tianhock. i found the show funny but rather sexual so it was kinda weird to be sitting nxt to him while watching it. aft the movie, we headed back to plaza sing to meet up with the rest for dinner at manhatten fish mkt.

we all wore dresses coz jessica wanted to dress-up.. afterall it is tianhock's army farewell. gonna become a man yeah? hehe.

[frm left: xueqin, cheeleng, jessica, me]



finally, the food!!! i found the seafood platter more worthwhile than fish n co. there was oysters n the butter rice was much more fragrant..



my ability to dian ren is at all time high when i managed to static the sweet wrapper. wahahahah!



aft dinner, we proceeded to clarke quay where we settled for drinks at clinic. we sat on wheelchairs n drank frm an operating table complete with operation lights, doctors n nurses! by now, nicholas had joined us n we had quite a blast playing games tt involved sabo.



we also pushed ourselves around on those vintage-looking gold wheelchairs!



jessica took tis pic where all 3 of us happened to be smsing AT THE SAME TIME!! tonight felt rather sweet bcoz weiming was worried sick tt i was out drinking. its nice to hv someone who cares enough to freak out when ur doing something unusual or someone to msg when everyone else is msging too.. its an ego thing lah. =X



grp pic of the frens i couldn't ever live without!!! =)



to end off the evening, the lovebirds got sabo-ed... it must be nice to kiss someone whom u love n ur certain loves u back. haiz.

we managed to catch the last bus 12 n he sent me hm which i tot was quite a sweet gesture. we spent some time tgt n i ended up only sleeping at 4am. oh the horror!!

needless to say, i overslept in meeting weiming at vivo the nxt morning. bad first date impression hur? anyway, he really impressed by reaching an hr earlier frm the actual time coz the silly boy tot i pretended to oversleep so as to test his punctuality. haha.. brownie pts for effort though. :)

we watched ironman which i tot was a pretty decent show followed by dinner n ben n jerry ice-cream at vivocity's rooftop. quite a romantic way to end the day i find.



hmmm, tis is the leaflet the water polo players handed out at the recent cca drive.. i found their lvl of confidence n thickness of skin rather amusing. heee.



for some tt didn't know, i hv started part-time wrk to partially supplement my shopping expenses.. jessica found these jobs with OrangeTee for us (eileen, cairong, vanessa, tiffany, darren n me).. we r kinda like tele-marketers for property n wrk is pretty ok with fun company n an excellent boss. =)



n of course wrk with eileen can also be said to be hilarious.. tis is the fly she caught n forced to jump around on a piece of paper so she cld use the nos. it landed on to buy TOTO. =P

*********************************************************************************



frm 9th - 11th may, i lived through the most successful camp in spse history but the most horrible one in my memory.. well, at least i finished serving my term as a vp n made alot of frens in the process.. i suppose i wun be quitting the club (its too troublesome to do so) but tis camp will b the official last contribution i make - unless they pay me or something.



the happy yr ones totally clueless on our politics n internal conflict.. ignorance is bliss hur?



on the last night, we had bbq on moberly's coin-operated pits.. while eating, i discovered a apalling spelling error!!!!! SIGAPORE POLYTECHNIC?!?! n we still dare claim to be a preferred education institution!



me with xueqin, cheeleng n tiffany.. the ppl which cheeleng so aptly phrased "made the camp less of a nightmare".



n my v brave nightwalk partner, andhini. =)



makan with ting ting at vivo... i'm also wondering why i keep ending up in places on the purple line so frequently! 0_o" visited ah ma at boon keng n tried the so-so $16 steamboat buffet also on the NEL.. zzz.



makan with xinyu, szerui n maziah at habourfront centre... purple line again!!



the minature haagen daz dessert... *cute*



as part of competitor analysis, tiffany, yvonne, wanteng n i had to go check out jack's place's competition during one business development period...



at secret recipe (our chosen main competitor), we were approached by a TP girl doing a similar proj on the cake industry. lol..



on may 19, we finally found the time to getaway for some healthy sun n exercise.. by total coincidence, i met junhong on bus 9 while on my way to changi village. somehow there seems to be a million coincidences when it comes to him tt makes me wonder if its fate or just some cruel joke heaven is playing on me.



the grp of us on the little boat to the island..

[frm left: junhong, richard, darren, me, thiam hee, sengwang, cheeleng, tianhock, jessica]



aft peddling for quite some time, we stop for a rest..

aft drinking too much, richard had to take a little pee in some old shack which apparently HAD TOILET PAPER!! amazing.



tis muz be the most popular water spot with its cute bunny rabbits n the only wild boar left in the whole of ubin.. uncle muz be making quite a roaring biz selling his 100 plus n bottled water.



timer-mode when grp pictures hv to be taken w/o a stranger in sight.. he looks funny right? =P



cheeleng n thiam hee! *scandalous*



leaving the island on boats tt hv just increased fare by 50 cents. =(



kinda quarrelled with weiming leaving me quite distressed n emo.. luckily i had alot of distractions such as my v lovely cheeleng..



darren, me, cheeleng n junhong cramped up at the back of a taxi racing towards mind's cafe at purvis street... we had to lean down to prevent any traffic police frm noticing our over-squeezed taxi. haha. needless to say, sengwang had the priviledge of sitting upfront.



playing brainless boardgames is fun! =)

*********************************************************************************

yest was ting's grad day.. met her to celebrate over dinner where i had a free counselling session with the best fren.



as usual, the talk revolved around the boys in our lives.. having met weiming for 3 times already, i hv formed an impression of him tt leaves me craving for more yet certain shld anything between us blossom, it'll not last for long..

i didn't think i felt much for him until ting started her usual criticisms of my men n i kinda grew defensive when she made me do up a pros n cons sheet. haha.

i liked it when he rushed to meet me aft book-out late one evening. while i took my own sweet time oblivious to the fact tt he was already waiting at tamp.. i liked it when we sat by pasir ris beach talking abt past loves, getting to know how each other handled conflicts n disappointment. i liked how he said: "i dun wan to realise our characteristics dun match only aft the honeymoon period." i liked the passion he feels for his sport. i liked him being contactable 24/7 even in the latest of nights.

i liked how he tugged at my hair, how he pushed me away frm oncoming traffic or how our fingers brush n i get tt tingling sensation up my spine. i liked knowing he is sitting at the sch lib waiting for me as i go abt my lessons. i liked his courage to meet my frens n sit through a whole lunch with them. i liked his morn calls n constant smsing. i liked how he ended phonecalls with smiley faces n "i miss yous". i liked how he frets when my feet hurts n paying 5X the normal plaster price just so i can get better quality bandages.

i liked how he nags me to save. to study. to exercise. to eat healthy. n although ting pointed out his fair share of flaws (which admittedly is alot), some part of me still adores the attn, the care, the gentleness of his voice. i love my ex n up till now i still dare say i do.. but mayb for the first time in more than a yr, just a little more time n someone else's "i love you" cld be enough to help me let go.

leaf's departure is due to wind's pursuit or simply bcoz tree didn't ask her to stay?



the fortune teller says i'm destined to be fooled by men. i fall in love too deeply n end up doing things i know is damn bloody wrong just bcoz i'm desperate to let the other party know how impt n how much they mean to me..

i may be foolish abt love interests but i hv a knack for being able to spot a gd fren. thank you ting for being the one i can always turn to.
