A New Home
As much as I hate leaving blogger...(because of the versatility, ability to add music, a TAGBOARD!!![i will miss this feature THE MOST!], my new twitter box and the adventures I have with HTML!)
I've decided to move to Wordpress. I am very familiar with Wordpress since my lazychef and prettythings sites are already based there... So I thought I'll just transfer everything to wordpress...
Its stable and very user-friendly. And I can have password protected posts for my close pals. (PS: Darling pals, ask for my password when you see me on msn or email me for it okay?)
I even managed to move most of my old posts from blogger over to Wordpress.
I'll work out the tagboard thingy... cos I love having a tagboard! But for now, leave me many many comments there okay? :)
Ask me for my web addy if you wanna read more!
(Okay. There might be the slightest possibility I move back here if I can get my butt down to doing up a pretty blogskin during my coming hols. :) Or even better, share a domain with V and create my own website!!!... Till then, haunt me at wordpress... )

Final presentation marks the goodbye to the bestest group in the whole wide world!!! :"(

My fantastic group members...
From left to right:
Kim Ji San aka Rain, Miss Bimbo, Dr Love Foo, Tai-tai, Mr Tan
And I realised that we forgot to take a picture with our fantastic teachers! Argh!
Anyway, I think our group has grown and bonded the most throughout the whole course. And I'm really proud of our group. :) Even the teachers love us. hehe...
This course has been the bestest course I've ever taken in NTU. Seriously. Teachers are fantastic. Coursemates are fantastic. Group members are THE best! I'll seriously miss everyone!
Hai~ with the final presentation done, exams are looming towards me... Arghhhh...
Study hard everyone!

Dreaming about chocolateeee....
I know I'm not 21 anymore.
I know I'm gonna be a grand-23-year-old-ma this year.
I know its wayyyy too early to prepare for it.
I know I ought to be studying and not day-dreaming about it.
I know I would probably spend a lot of moo-lah on this...
.
.
.
.
.
.

But I wanna have a chocolate fondue (birthday) party again! :)
Like my 21st!
Hehe...
And I'd invite all my fantastic-funny-wonderful-crazy friends over for a great time!
Ooooo....
Strawberries, bananas, home-baked cookies, cocoa bread, kiwis, peaches, marshmellows!!!!
And not forgetting yummilicious chocolate!
No need to bring anything... just bring yourself and enjoy yourself silly! =)
Who wanna come??? :))))))))

Ambitions
I had to complete a mindmap about myself recently. About myself, my education, my interests, achievements and ambitions.
Ambitions?
What do I want to do with my life?
What do I want to work as?
What exactly do I want?
Good questions man.
I had 2 lines under ambitions- To start a business, To be successful.
Wah lao. So bloody cliche lah. I'm so appalled at my answers!
I thought about it after submitting my homework.
What do I really want to do?
1. I really want to start a business. I even have plans for one of them. Just need to rope in pple who would really want to have a share in it. Of course I won't talk about it here(unless I want pple to steal my idea!). I'm young, have the energy to go out and start on a clean slate. I guess its all about finding the right industry/item and give it a go.
2. I have dreams of being(don't laugh ah!!!!).....................an air stewardess.
I have the height but haha, die lah, super flabby(I just calculated, my BMI is in the normal range lah. I'm not obese. I'm just extremely flabby! Gawwwww.... ). Just lose the weight then can lah. Travelling around the world, being a 'high-class' waitress. Quite fun mah!
But it isn't exactly a real job and finding another job after my flying years won't be as easy. And I'm sure V would just bawk at the idea. Cos I mentioned it before and you should have seen his face. haha... he says that I'll be away for long periods and he ain't that happy about that fact.
3. I want to continue my studies. Do an MBA. Somewhere in US or Aussie. Somewhere NOT in Singapore. No doubt I'm super super sick of studying, but I wouldn't mind trying for an MBA. (is this even an ambition?)
4.
I wanna be a banker(and earn lots and lots of $$$$$$) I wanna have a job that deals with marketing, meeting people, cutting deals but not making sales. haha... contradicting huh?
5. I want start a little cafe selling cakes and drinks and doing really cool coffee art.
Ironically, I do not have dreams of being a tai tai. Maybe not yet i guess. I feel that I have not achieve anything significant enough to sit at home and enjoy my life.
So... what do I really want?
I don't know yet. I guess it will take sometime. But for now. I shall concentrate at what's on hand and do my best in it.
---------
I wanna watch Music and Lyrics leh... But I got no one to watch it with. boo hooooo hooooo....
---------
I've got a new bed. Though its not brand new, but the previous owner never used it! Super ex lah. Queen size somemore! But eh, I'm still not used to it leh. Not hard enough(because my previous bed was like super hard lah!) Gotta get use to it lah. But I must admit. Its very comfy. Feel like a queen when lying on it. hehe...
Somemore, its a gift from someone. Super blessed lah.
--------
Need to improve on discipline.
Heading off to study now. =)

Wake up call!
(Wrote this on the 22nd... did not post it cos i was rushing to go out... and so, here it is...)
I've installed this new Twitter thingy on the side ------->
Haha... i guess its good for short outbursts of nonsense from me...
Anyway, there are so many things that I need to sort out. So much so that it is making me kinda frustrated. And I guess if you see me, you can see it on my face. Got that stressed-up face,
plus a screwed-up body- fatfatfatfatfat . L was nice enough to ask me if I was feeling fine the other day. I was touched, yet I was feeling bad. Touched because I'm glad I have friends who really care. Bad, because I didn't want my friends to worry about me.
Anyway, its interesting how my guy friends around me, like to ask me about love and about girls. I find it kinda cute. I become "the door" to them understanding how girls behave, why they do certain things or how they should approach a girl. But yes, I'm not complaining... Its nice to see them happy at the end of the day. :)
Interestingly, I was once V's 'love-guru' when he was trying to chase another girl! Haha... but much later after that, he became my bf instead. Though it was one big round, it was funny how things turned out in the end. He used to call me, ask me if he should do this or that. haha...
So cute lah.
--------
Started taking Vit Cs... The flu bug is running around now and I just cannot afford to get sick. So, on a whim, I joined GNC and bought the vits... Anyway, if you want to get anything from GNC, just drop me a msg and you can use my card to get a 20% discount(or whatever member's promotion they're having). :) I suddenly feel so healthy. Heh...
(end of post from 22nd March...)
*****************
Something is wrong with me. I really can't fathom the current changes I'm putting myself through. Its like there are so many things to do, and I get so caught up in them, that I forget someother stuff that are waiting for my attention. I missed out on two major events and I know I should just move on and work with what I have to improve the situation, but I can't help but kick myself in the butt for being so forgetful.
I guess my time management really sucks.
The changes are for the better. I know it. But its a constant battle. I need to pull through it. No one will know how victorious this battle will be when I win it. Only I will know it. And I'm working hard for this day.
I pushed away my jewellery business and my bakings because of these changes, and I really hope to incorporate them back into my life soon. But first things first, they aren't as impt as the other 2817362 things I have to conquer first.
I'm such an ironic person and I hate it. Bleh.
But no matter what. I will win this battle. I'll appreciate the cheers. I'll dump out all the boos. I will win no matter what.
Pray more. Work harder. Plan better. Exercise harder. Believe.

Just a short note.
Disappeared for quite a long while. Sorry...
Anyway, school has been kinda yucky recently. I don't know why but I keep having mixed thoughts about it. One moment, I can't believe I have another year before I'll graduate and I have this funny lingering feeling attached to the sch. The next moment, I find school such a drag... I know I know... so fickle-minded.
Anyway, my body is aching like crazy. The run yesterday was such a wake-up call. Definately need to run more now. All my stamina is gone. Poof! Terrible lah.
I suddenly lost my inspiration to blog.
I'll be back. Soon. Just need to get my thoughts settled and arranged. I promise to be back really soon.

Quick post...
Okay. I have 5 mins to write what I wanna say...
I'm on a break now. A strict 5 mins break because I still haven't finished studying for my quiz and I need to finish up 3 more tuts! Eeek!
Today was I was super cranky and emo.
Maybe cos I just super overwhelmed by everything...
All the quizzes and projects. And knowing that I didn't do fantastically well for some of my GE quizzes, a horrible lunch( I hate NTU food!!!), plus some other crap..... Argh, I guess it all added up. Bleh indeed!
And so, I stopped by one of my fav ice cream parlours on the way home and had a fantastic pick-me-up! Strawberry cheesecake ice cream! No less!
It cheered me up before it made me feel like I've put on 10 inches on my waistline. Argh! haha... I'm getting fat fat fat lah. I hope I can do something about it soon... Yoga!!!
Ok... 5 min up!
Back to my books.
I hope to update with happier news soon.

thinking of her, you and being discipline
Discipline discipline...
I know I'm seriously lacking in it. Gosh. Its really scary. I think I should really kick myself in my big fat butt and start being serious about my work.
To my dear jewellery blog customers(who read my blog), I'll take a short break k? I need to concentrate on my sch work for now. I will have a big big sale when I'm ready and on track with work again.
-------
Interestingly, I've been having tons on my mind recently. Some, not too appropriate to talk about, while some are just daydreams. haha... I've been getting really good at day dreaming recently... need to wake up to reality! haha...
-------
Had project group meeting with my gang from creative prob solving class. This bunch of pals are fantastic. :) haha... we even have names for all of us. KimJiSan, sleepy horny girl(not me lah!), boh liao king, mr 'nice' and me. ok. I don't exactly have a nick name yet. eh, thats gd rite? haha...
On a major proj now... I hope we pull it off!
:)
------
Been thinking of JiaLin(Jaclyn) recently. I don't know why. Maybe because I've been 'hanging' out with Shiqi and she is the same age as Jac. Jac would be in uni now, year 1 infact. We could have been roomies! I feel as if I'm missing out from doing all the fun sisterly stuff together with her. Imagine all the shopping session, sharing sessions, fighting sessions and more. It would be nice to have a younger sis around. I miss you Jac. *shed a tear*
------
Gotta get back to my tuts. Recess week is just crap. Next week is quiz week! Ahhhhh!

I realised...
Its funny how I always say I don't wanna do something again but yet, I end up being soft-hearted and giving in yet again.
So silly. Argh.
I keep saying I don't wanna work. Then I end up going back. And when I working, I realised why I said I didn't want to work if I were given a choice again.
Then again, maybe I got 'greedy' for the $$. Like what my friend said to me: Rachel, you don't need the money lah. Your pocket money is more than enough. Why in the world do you want to work?
It is true. I don't need the $, but I guess, with that extra moolah, I can buy something for someone else, or to spoil myself a lil' more. Argh. But all the time 'wasted' on work could be utilised on tutorials! And so, I promise, NO more work till after exams.
------------------
I need to exercise exercise exercise!!! Need to lose weight!!! Getting fat fat fat....
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......... It's really a girl's worst nightmare lah.
------------------
Made a discovery recently and I'm kinda amazed at the revelation. I'm pleased that I could have such an effect. I wish him well though.
------------------
Gonna make full use of my recess week next week! I promise!

Happy New Year 2007!
The lazy bug has gotten into me...
Supposed to be dutifully writing down my thoughts, but then, I end up procrastinating... and haha, lots of pictures are piling up... willing to be collaged on Photoshop... bleh.
Lots of tutorials waiting for me to attend to them. My Kueh Bangkit flour waiting for me to make it again... My jewellery is waiting for me to put it into pretty pieces....
And well, I promise
someone *grin* I'll blog cos I've been MIA-ing for way too long... haha... And so, here's my CNY pictures.
Happy New Year to all my wonderful friends/readers!

(PS: Yes, I know, my dress is like SUPER loud! haha... And sooo retro! I like it leh. Sometimes, its good to be fair-skinned(haha... the kids in church called me a 'white woman'... ) I can carry off all these weird colours.
Anyway, there is a reason why I chose this dress. I doubt I can carry this dress off in a couple of years time, so might as well wear something loud and colourful while I still can pull it off... haha... And no, I didn't do my CNY shopping with Kai... it's just coincidence that we both wore retro!)
Well, one reason why I've been so busy is because I've been busy doing all the visitings... then family dinners at night (2 nights in a row!) and today, I'm just super tired to do anything else. Did a lil' sch work and now i'm ready for bed after I blog!
I WILL WILL WILL study very hard during my school hols next week... Its terrible ain't it? Recess week and yet, we're all still so busy studying. Bleahhhhh....
And oh! I got a small surveying job for 3 days. haha... I know I know, supposed to use it for studying. But I promise to juggle everything and give enough time for sch work. The pay is just too good to give up! heh! I welcome extra moolah anytime!
I seriously need to find a attachment company soon... time's running out! ahhhh.... *panic button pressed!*
Will post Vday pics, pics of my baby niece(Eeek! I'm an auntie already!) and more random stuff when I've made the picture collage.
For now... nitey! :)

Happy Valentine's Day to all!
Hey hey...
Happy Valentine's Day to all!
To those who got my little brownie cupcakes, hope you enjoyed them! To those who didn't, maybe I'll make them for you next time. Hehe... They're really good!
This V day has been a fantastic one. Hehe...
A simple but unique dinner with V. Surprise bouquet of roses from him(they were bee-uuu-tii-fulll!). And the encouragement from him to spice up my look! Hehe...(you'll understand if you see me)
Anyway, I've been nothing but busy since last friday. Non-stop bakings and preparations for CNY and Vday. I'm super super tired. I've got lots of work to catch up on. Both picture collaging for my lazychef/prettythings and school work. Argh.... And i need more sleep because I've been having so many late nights!
I'm heading to bed NOW. Will ramble more with pictures soon. Nite nite!
I love you dear! Thank you for the fantastic evening. :)Labels: Ramblings, Vday

But I'm not gonna give up yet. I wanna make the best tasting Kueh Bangkit for V. Just because he likes it. Ain't I nice? I don't have much high hopes, but I'm hoping for a miracle when I give it a try again.
Tuesday was a longggg day and the day that I collected my baby hp back from the handphone-hospital. baby hp has a brand new speaker and a brand new joystick! Weee!
Wednesday was pontang-PElective-to-do-baking day. I made a grand total of 3 things on Wednesday.

haha...
Dear Troubled User:
This is a very common problem that men complain about. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING !!!
It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0 . It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings-Alimony/ Child Support .
I recommend that you keep Wife 1.0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation. The best course of action is to enter the command C:APOLOGIZE! because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway. Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance .
Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0 , Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2 . However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag Nag 9.5 .
Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0 !
WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3 . This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system!
Best of luck,
Tech Support
(PS: I'm sure some of you must have read this before. But haha.. i found it really amusing... Someone should write the version for the upgrades of Boyfriend 6.0 to Husband 1.0. Hehe...)Labels: Funny stuff

Bake bake baking fun!
Hello all...
Actually, I've been blogging this past few days, just that, I've been saving them as drafts and not publishing them.. haha... I guess I didn't see the need to publish them.
Anyway, I'm like super super tired now.
I bake almost 600 cookies today.
And its just pineapple tarts and cornflakes cookies.
I still have peanut cookies and a second batch of pineapple tarts next weekend.
And not forgetting my KB! Wow...
This year's CNY is crazy crazy baking!
Its tiring but oh-so-fulfilling... :) I like.
How i wish i had that much enthusiaum on school work... haha...
I'll update with pics soon...
Need to rest soon.

Mid week and its been nothing but exciting!
My 400th Post! Woo Hoo!
First of all. Sorry for skipping a blog post yesterday. Was kinda busy sorting out some stuff...
And well, its only mid-week and I've been bombarded with lots of unique requests and have encountered some rather odd(in a happy way, and some in a terrible way) events.
First of all... my baby phone goes all cranky on me. And I really don't know what went wrong. When ever someone calls, the fellow can hear me, but I can't hear the person! Really irritating. So, I'm gonna get it fixed tmr afternoon. Bleh.
I got a dress for CNY. Super super retro looking. Like I just arrive from the 1970s. Haha... Real cute. And I was telling Peiwen, if I don't take the courage to wear this now, I'll get laughed at when I grow older and start wearing this type of dresses. So, why not try a retro look? Look out Kai! I'm gonna 'try' and be more retro than you! muahaha.... (but then, sure lose you lah. you look better in retro than me... haha...)
And yes, some other things too... but shall not mention them here. Ha. Well, at least not for the time being.
----
2 days ago, I was just thinking of Martha Stewart. She has the kind of job that I wanna do in the future! She has her own TV show, where she shows others how to bake/cook and teach them cool and nifty craft work.
We don't have a TV show in Singapore that does this! The cooking shows that we have are all not that interesting. Not hip enough. No 'cool' enough. We need young blood to show the younger ones that cooking/baking is not an 'auntie' thing. Its fun, its interesting and we can learn so much from being in the kitchen! Be it learning to cook a simple meal to survive or to learn to bake cookies/muffins to impress a girl/boy. And not forgetting, all the cool craft work or interesting things to make!
Haha... and yes, just as I dream about it, I received a very interesting email with an interesting proposal to me. I might just get to play 'Martha' soon *grin*. In a similar way*grin*. But not on national TV. I'll update with it if it goes well. :) *grin*
(yes yes, I know, you wanna slap me. I shall wipe that grin off my silly face... hahhaa)----
Woo hoo! I'm gonna learn to bake Kueh Bangkit! Yummy melt-in-the-mouth Kueh Bangkit! I hope V is happy! I know he loves it. Can't wait for next week! My oven is gonna have to start learning to work OT! Heh...

Okay. Need to get rest. Really tired. Good nite world!

Retail Therapy anyone?
I signed up for this concierge service that allows me to place orders on US websites that don't accept non-US credit cards!
And now, I'm thinking of organising a spree on
Wetseal! Really nice clothings and accessories!
Anyone wants to join?
Check out
their website to see if you'd like anything...
We will only need to pay for the concierge service of 4.5% of the purchases, BUT there is a 10% discount on the clothes! So... technically, we are still getting 5.5% discount! haha... better than nothing I suppose!
Leave me a tag on my tagboard if you're interested in taking part then I'll consolidate and I'll email you the details okay? Please inform me latest by Wednesday 31st Jan 2006.
Thanks babes!
(PS: Tell your friends about it! The more orders, the more we can save on shipping!)

Cookies Galore!
Gosh! Chinese New Year is coming soon!!!! Which means, its time for cookie baking!!!
And I have SO MANY cookie recipes that I wanna try or bake again!
I'm certain that I'm going to make cornflakes cookies and pineapple tarts.
But... I was surfing around and realised that I want to try making even more than that!!!
Kueh Bangkit, Melting Moments with Cheese, Oat Cookies, Peanut Cookies... and a couple more!!! Ahhhh!!!!
(Do I sound very 'auntie' because I'm fussing over what I wanna bake?)
My poor oven! It's gonna have to work over-time soon! Heh!

Stoned!

Haha... The first thing we saw when we approached Stonegrill, was this sign that said: Have you stoned today?(or something along those lines...my memory is getting bad!Eeek!)
V and I decided to give Stonegrill a try. I've been wanting to bring him there for a really long time, but somehow, we never really got the time and opportunity to. So, we decided to give it a try for dinner. :)
Verdict?
Well, it was a very good novelty. As in, the food comes raw on this volcanic stone and you cook your food on it. V had beef while I had seafood. We also shared a side dish of their specialty- Portabello Mushrooms. Nothing was marinated and no oil is involved in the cooking. All they did was to sprinkle fine salt on the stone, then put on the raw food.
Overall, the food was very healthy, considering there was no oil involved and we were served a side dish of home-made mashed potato and blanched vegetables. I guess the novelty came in a form of cooking the food on your own. However, the only complain V had was that the portions were a little small for him. I guess I should have gone for the chicken, so that I could pass more food over to the big-eater. haha...
So yes, we probably won't go back for seconds, unless its to try their $9.90 lunches. I saw them having this lunch promo when I was in the vicinity recently.
After dinner, we walked to Marine Parade so that I could pick up a diary(need to write down all the quiz dates, appointments and exam dates!!!). Then we walked around the neighbourhood, cooed at some utterly adorable pet rabbits at the pet store, looked for snacks that we used to eat when we were young children and finally settled for waffles for desserts.
-----
Met up with Faith after school yesterday to fix her necklace. Then we had lunch while waiting for the hall office to open. Faith got a room in hall. Haha, watching her 'move' into her room makes me wanna get a room too...
But I guess, though its nice to stay in sch, I would kinda miss the convinience of home. Everything I have is at home(duh!?!). And I can bake and make jewellery anytime I want!
Moral of the story? I need a carrrrr! Gimme a car please! Then travelling to sch wouldn't be a hassle anymore!
Okay. Car shopping time!!! hehe...

Of yoga, books and baking. Sheesh...
I wanna start Yoga or maybe Pilates. Actually, I don't mind signing up at some fitness centre and go for sessions for maybe 2 times a week? I need to start looking for trial lessons. (Heh... got this idea from Faith!)
Bought yet another novel today. And the genre is totally different from my staple. I don't know what got into me and made me buy it. Haha.. I think the fact is that it had a 20% discount as compared to the book that I had originally wanted. And though the storyline is interesting, it is not an easy book to read. Not easy to read at all. Need to think and analyse while reading. Its a bit of a challenge but I'm enjoying it so far... But I can't stand all the vulgar language in it though. Bleh. But nonetheless, its been ages since I last read a memoir. :)
I can't wait to start baking for CNY!!! Hehe!! I got some stuff today! In preparation for my pineapple tart baking! Haha... I received an email recently, asking if I sell my pineapple tarts. And well, I have not replied yet. Well, I'm not sure if I have the time to bake them to sell. Because I'm worried that if the person orders alot, I'd have a hard time keeping up with the orders. But Mummy is getting enterprising... she immediately said: "Can... just tell her a bottle of 20 would be $10, or if she buys 50 pieces, it'll be $20."
Haha... she's confident of making them, but I'm not. hahaha... will see how lah. If after my first batch, I'm fine with making more, then I'll start selling. Any one wanna buy? hahaha...
Ok. Today's post will be a short one. I need to slp early.
Good nite all!

Yet another day.
China doll eyes. Heh. Thank goodness this time round, it was literally painless and almost tear-free! Don't know what I'm talking about? Come look for me.
My legs are like jelly now. The exercise machine is finally being used for its real purpose after 4 years of being a clothes hanger. And its super squeeky. But it hasn't fallen apart yet. So, yes, I'm gonna try my best to do some routines everyday.
I should stop being such a procrastinator. It is stopping me from achieving greater things in life. Bleh. It is probably the greatest stumbling block in my life now. Horrible man.
Anyway, this sem's timetable is like the best. Firstly, no Monday blues. Then the days get shorter as the week passes. Woo Hoo... Tues are the longest(0930 till 1730), Weds are next(0830 till 1630), then comes Thurs(1030 till 1530) and last but not least(0830 till 1230). Shoik leh!
-----
CNY is coming soon. What are you gonna wear? I'm terrible. I think this year is gonna be another last minute outfit again. Why? Because though I bought lovely dresses recently, they are all black and white. So terribly inauspicious. Not that I mind wearing them, but I don't want to be disrespectful to the elders. Tsk tsk tsk.
And yes, I want CURLS! But somehow, perming is super ex! I can't imagine spending that kind of money on hair. Not until I earn more(through work etc) or start working. Somehow, the thought of putting a couple of hundred(okay, maybe 200) bucks on my hair is so totally not worth it. (Yes, I'm a miser.)
------
The brother is going through puppy love now. Gosh. And of all girls. It has to be her. The funny thing? He's not the only one who's crazy over her. I see competition coming up. What fun. May the best
man boy win.
------
I need to start serious work on my EEE cores. They are really tough. *sob sob*
Toodles for now then.
i'm seriously lost. the more you reject, the more painful it'll get. and it's getting tougher and tougher to change the subj now. Dear God, please open his heart, to see your Love and help him understand why its impt for us to love you together. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.Labels: Daily stuff 2007

Spelling backwards fun!?!
Call me slow but whatever...
I just realised that when you spell FAT backwards, you get TAF.
Now I know why all the chubby kids in my days were made to join TAF club in Primary school!
Gosh. But doesn't it sound kinda demeaning?
(Or is there another reason why they call it TAF club?) *edit* Okay. And so, Anna reminded me that its Trim and Fit club. But I still wanna com-prain about it. Why must the acronym be TAF? Why can't it be something like Keep Fit Club(KFC! probably not a very good idea...) or Healthy Kids Club or Lean And Fit Club or Fit and Healthy Club or anything else but TAF? */edit*
Poor kids.
And I only realised this when I was figuring what to put on my MSN nick because someone said the dreadful F word to me today. Bleh.
I'm gonna starve myself from now on. Labels: Bleh stuff, Daily stuff 2007

What Monday blues?
Dear Diary...
Today was such a slack-one-corner day. haha...
While everyone else is complaining about Monday blues, I'm going "What Monday Blues?" hehehe... I is evil. Hah!
Went to the bank in the afternoon, attempted my tutorial, joined a spree and bought a top from Wet Seal(weeee!), blog-hopped around and made a necklace today. I enjoyed my day. Heh.
And now, its time for me to sleep!
Good nite world!

Grinning away like a cheshire cat!
Things to say to Rachel to make her head grow big and let her have a silly grin on her face for the next 1 hour:
Kei <@NTU> says:
actually, my friend that we met that day said you look like a business student
Kei <@NTU> says:
it's true. he said he never see such pretty(gal?) in EEE like u
Kei <@NTU> says:
and he is a final year student
Okay, so this person missed out a word in the 2nd line. I'm assuming it's 'gal'/'girl'.
I mean, it can't be pig/monster/or-any-other-creature right?
Haha. *starts floating*

*Slaps self*
This fellow just hasn't seen the rest of EEE. All the pretty ones are off for IA or just didn't come for lecture lah. So plain jane me just looks a lil' more 'special' in the sea of boys.
Wake up lah Rach...

I hope to blog more often!
I've decided that I should write my thoughts down more often. Been totally neglecting this space.
Its kinda nice to read back on old posts and laugh at those good ol' times I had. Then I realised that I don't write down my thoughts and the happenings of my life anymore! What happen to my online diary?
And so, I will try my best to say something everyday(or once every two days). Even if its just 1 or 2 lines. And even if its just " Hello world, today was a totally uneventful day. But I made it through... Amen!"
Haha...
I guess cos I quite enjoy reading other's people's blogs and their daily happenings. Their interesting or super boring thoughts/events/happenings/lunches/dinners/etc etc etc...And then I look at my own blog. Shees... So boring! So pale in comparison. So bleah-ish.
Actually, many interesting things happen in my life everyday. Well, at least its interesting to me.
Like last week, I started my Creative Problem Solving class and am totally lovin' it(Pala pah pah pah! I'm lovin' it! hahaha... geddit geddit???). I meet really fun-lovin' lecturers and fellow tutorial mates in the class... And we do really fun stuff. haha... like: "wow! your armpit hair looks cool too! Did you perm it?", "Hi! I'm Park Ji Por and I'm a Korean exchange student!", "Hi. I'm from NIE, studying about mental sports." etc etc... I know I know, it all sounds odd but I guess you won't understand it unless you're in my class. :)
Then I made a new friend. A Hong Kong Exchange student. It was kinda funny when I first met him.
I was sitting in tutorial class waiting for the tutor to start tutorial... Then suddenly, this guy taps me on my arm.(from now on, my speech would be in pink, while everyone else would be either blue, green or yellow...)
"Eh... Do we need to do tutorial?"Me(thinking to myself):
Hello? we're in freakin' 3rd year. and what more? this is sem 2 of the year... not even sem 1!!! You ask me if we need to do tutorial? You from some year 1 class and you're lost or from some planet?"Erm, yes, of course we need to do our tutorial. Then if we have any questions, then we can ask the tutor to explain.*smile
sweetly*
"Oh. Okay. Thanks. I didn't do my tutorial! Didn't know I need to do it!" (Thinking to myself)
" This guy is weird. Haha... after class, this took place:
"Eh, will the teacher take our attendance?" "No. But it really depends. Sometimes, some tutors take attendance, some tutors don't"After exchanging a few more lines from him, I realised that he is an exchange student! hahaha...
I guess he looks like any ordinary student cos he's chinese.
And yes, for the record, his name is Jack and I had a 'fun' time explaining to him what teh-o and kopi-o over lunch the next time I saw him. :)

Dinner on Fri with V was super ex. haha... I didn't expect Seoul Garden to be that ex on a weekday dinner. But then again, it was a Friday evening. Blah. I'm the worst person to bring for buffets. Buffet restaurants love customers like me. Blehhhh....
Dinner on Sat was fantastic too. But then, buffet ala carte again! At Hanabi Japanese Restaurant at Odeon Towers. Food was fantastic. Esp the Sashimi and
Soba Saba fish. It was V’s dad’s bday dinner so V’s sis suggested that we try this place. Quite a nice place I must say… And we might try that place again when it’s my mummy’s bday since she’s such a jap food fan. :)
I’ve been telling V that the fact that I only see him during the weekends now, it feels as if he’s in army. A bf-who’s-still-in-army, just that he has a full head of messy long hair and I get to chat with him every night on MSN, play an occasion round of solitaire/quarto/or what ever we feel like playing over MSN.
Haha… Oh well…
K then. I've written tons today.
:)
Toodles...
