"don't go where i can't follow"
watched lord of the ring: return of the king jus now.
damn. its good.
those who havent watched it yet should go soak their heads.
or get their hands on a ticket asap.
lolx.
couldn't take my eyes off the screen for the entire 3hr+ duration of the movie.
the visual effects is absolutely stunning, as in the first two movies in the trilogy.
the flying beasts would scare me half to death as usual.
gollum is the work of computer mastery n a genius of an actor.
Aragorn n legolas (orlando bloom!! *swoon* ) are so droolsome… (cups chin to catch saliva)
N the friendship n loyalty that the hobbit sam showed to the frodo the ringbearer was so touching.
his plea still rings in my head...
"don't go where i can't follow."
the ultimate tribute n sacrifice of frenship don't u think?
btw, its xiang n my 8th year frenship aniversary tml.
the last day of every year; tho it'll be the first time we're celebrating.
going out to eat seafood buffet at marina... slurp slurp slurp~!! ;9
happy 8th years to us, xiang =)
hope we'll have many many more.

dissapointed
ian....
i miss you...
everytime i'm sad, u're the first person to pop into my mind.
i really miss you now.
can i meet u tml? pls?
=~(
my efforts are so fucking wasted.
i've done my fucking best to protect you.
all of us, running after you. to protect u from wat happened before. all of us. cant u feel our concern? the very least u could do was help us protect you.
but if u wan to cheapen yaself, there's nothing i can do.
nothing.
i can feel alot of things, but like in the past; like i said, i can only give my opinions. i'm not a passerby in ya life, i'm sure u dun wan me to be. but issit better for me to feel that way?? cos thats how u make me think i'd rather feel. its not ya fault maybe that u lead a complicated life. i'm helping u straighten it out. so for god's sake, help yaself! no one forced u to do it. but i saw wif my own eyes ya willingness. i'm not blind. n u make me wonder why again, that i even bother myself wif you.

rainy season... dashed dreams
cold weather, raining outside, wearing my nitegown, a good book in one hand n steaming cup of hot chocolate in the other. aaaahh... the little joys of life :)
i wish arh!!! dammit.
shucks.
i'm missing out on the month i love most n some of the best times of the year.
waited one whole year for december when its nice, cool, with its nostalgic christamassy atmosphere. n now poof! december is almost over n christmas is jus ard the corner. din get to do wat i imagined myself doing during every christmas.... [read: the above]
where have all my time went??!
work work work.
even if i'm not working i'm still outside doing god noes wat.
(honestly cant remember wat i did between my alternate work days.)
but i noe i havent spent more than two consecutive days at home since i started work. not even the weekends. totally no free time to rest, relax n get nostalgic man =/
grrrrrr.....
n its onli going to get busier next week.
working even on the eve of christmas!! as well as new year's eve. dammit... starting to regret promising mrs. chua to work these two days le... =/
the two most impt days of the year give up to earn wat? 60 or 70bucks?
hai... n we agreed to work not even for the money.
*sigh*
wat to do... promised her already.
wish i could turn time back at the end of this month when we've stopped working! turn back time n relive this month all over again. this time, according to my own wishes n at my own pace.
gotta wait another one whole year before i can spend another december the way i wan to. hopefully, i'd get to go for an overseas hols next year too. i miss hong kong... really really miss it. i'm missing hong kong as if i'm home sick. hopefully i wun have to wait til next year's december hols to visit again. think i can earn n save enough to go for a one week tripto hong kong wif xiang or my sis? better still, hope my mum strike 4d (wah, windfall~!!) n our family will have enough money to go for an extended vaccation (n live comfortably for the rest of our lives!! is that too much to ask for?? =/ ). yeah~!!!
yup yup. that wud be another of my christmas wish too.

david's birthday
re-realized wat a computer idiot i am.
haha, ian streaming songs for me to hear online jus now.
dun even noe wat 'streaming ' means at first?
for the benefits of other compt idiots out there (are there any more as bad as me??) apparently it means that i can hear watever mp3 he's playing on his side. so cool rite??! =p
ok ok, computer idiot mah, always amazed at technology advances one. keke =p
wah biang, feel like getting all his songs~!!!
got some song titles from him le, gonna download them some other day ;)
ooooh, went to celebrate david's birthday jus now.
ate zhi cha at the hawker centre near their house.
xiang, him, their mum, hairy n i.
passed him his pressies after that.
hope he likes them. yeah...
pia cab home after that, cos godmum n godpa decided to spring a surprise visit?
going shopping wif sis tml wif the birthday ang pao (red packet) money they gave "us". why us?? wah biang, my sis zhuan dao okie?? lolx...
they used to give presents 9usually some clothes n stuff) yearly one, to both of us (long story...summary: cos my sis cried n made a ruckus once when we were very young, that she din have any presents when i got mine. we cant remember. but after that, my godparents have always gotten us both presents le -.-" ), but this year cos they weren't sure how much i've grown (sideways obviously) so they decided to give red packets instead... lolx~
better for my sis, cos she can get alot of things wif the money.
me??
i prefer solid presents.
they may cost less than the red packet, but they mean more...
it shows the effort the givers put in for the receiver.
esp since the present n clothes godmum they'd got me yearly are good tastes kinda :) if it were other relatives, yeah...perhaps red packets wud be better. lolx!! =p

lessons in december
nothing much to blog about.
or rather, too many things to blog that if i were to type out all i've to say, i'll prob blogged till daybreak (a few hrs away aniway).
work is always eventful 6.6
so yeah...
but a worthy thing to note...
(forgot to blog ytd)
i'd highlighted my hair le~!!!!
*whoots*
lolx ;p
din dye in the end cos the stylist said my hair dye is recent n very good already (looks like my sis' skills not bad ya?? haha).
so he recommended highlight n treatment onli. 75 buckeroos.
fair enuf price i think?? xiang n glo quoted much higher prices for the same treatment at other hair salons (100 bucks n above at least), so i think i got off quite easy. yeah...
quite satisfied with the overall effect lar.
tho if i look closely, my hair quite damaged from all the continuous dyeing le... =/
received alot of positive feedbacks since i dyed my hair, so think it quite suit me ba... good lor. was afraid i'll look like a freak. haha
*smiles*
ooooh~!
n the stylist who did my hair?? quite a hunk man... lolx ;p
fit fit kind n pretty good looking.
*drools*
but seen too many of those types like him at waterbar.
xiang n i both wondering if he's gay... lolx =p
haha, the two of us made such so much noise between the two of us chatting while they did my hair... until when xiang finally noted, "eh?? zhe li hao xiang zhi you wo men de sheng yin leh (we seem to be the onli two toking over here leh)?!" and all the stylists who were listening in on us broke into laughter did we realize how much entertainment we were providing them... lolx~!! =p
thats the two of us.
providing entertainment, joy n laughter wherever we went.
really.
n noise pollution too lar, ahaha :p
we seem to pick up pple wherever we go... =/
not consciously of cos.
take for eg today.
jus going for supper as usual at gombak n we'd gotten a lift home by the boss of the stall there.
(not to mention some free food n drinks, haha)
ok lor, save cab fare... lolx =p
yeah... working in our line made us more chatty n sociable ba.
me at least, since xiang's already pretty sociable... i'm usually the surly n more reserve/ defensive one wat.
the me of the past wun even give these guys two hoots.
more friendly now perhaps?
issit good or bad?
good for my future ba... train my social skills now; interacting with colleagues, customers, bosses, strangers. learn something new everyday. well, at least my december havent gone to waste. learn how to open up, to socialize. good for watever plans i have in future.
since interacting skills are needed in any social or business circle.
yeah...
What attracts people to you?
brought to you by Quizilla
You seem like you won't even get drunk as much. You
drink moderately and most likely on special
occasions. If you feel yourself getting over
the limit, you would try to control yourself.
And if you were a bit tipsy, most likely you
would get some rest. You're a person who can
control your actions and are very responsible.
You are careful in what you do and like to
avoid trouble. That's good for you. More people
need to think like you do =)

news break...
saddam hussein is caught!!
oh. my. god.
/(@.@)/
this is unreal man...
nah, i'm not a saddam supporter or anything (puizz~!).
but its so unexpected....
granted its been some time since the U.S soldiers been looking for him, but...
jus look at how long it took to find osama bin ladin.
next thing u noe they're gonna tell us that they've found osama too t_t
hmmm....
wierd feeling.
shocked maybe?
imagine reading bout him n his conquests, rampages n cruelty onli recently (less than five yrs?) in ya school history textbooks n then pow! we see his downfall before our very eyes; broadcasted worldwide via satellites to our home televisions.
its unreal man...
wonder wat they'd do to him...
capital punnishment?
on wat grounds n wat laws? causing the deaths of many when he started wars n sent his pple off to fight. but then george bush wud have to be executed for starting this iraq war too in that case.
life imprisonment?
i'd like to see where they'd imprison him. which prison wud take him in when they may risk the break in n massacre of his supporters.
hmmm...
they shd have jus killed him before broadcasting live on tv.
he could have died in a shoot-out or blind explosion n stuff.
jus any excuses.
then give news n coverage of saddam's death n show evidence of his dead body. everybody celebrates. happy ending ever after.
isn't it better? less troublesome than having to have meetings wif world leaders to decide saddam's fate.
oh well...
at least the news the next few days wud be interesting.
lolx...

ghost of the past
met hanxiang n the gang on fri... like finally?? haha =p
hanxiang, jessica, xiangling n me; the old gang.
miss them so... =)
esp hanxiang.
drifted apart from jess le. not that we were that close to begin with...
but hanxiang, its a different story.
feels so happy to see her.
really felt like we'd returned to old times, except that all of us have changed slightly in appearance? but the feeling was there... its jus like old time.
the four of us eating together at swenson n making lots of noise, as usual.
with me being their joke, as usual? diao -.-"
thats my life man. to be the butt of xiangs' jokes.
notics i used xiangs??
haha, thats cos i call both of them (hanxiang n xiangling) xiang~!!
its ok if i go out alone wif them, but when we three come together, there's alot of guesswork involved. lolx~! =p
but i'm used to it le, wat to do??
we even took this neoprint like kodak photo at swensons.
our happy moment captured in little neoprint stickers framed with pretty borders.
think we look so close n so sweet together ;)
hehe.
miss them...
miss those times...
even tho we'll be able to see more of each other now that hols are here n we're not studying anymore, everybody still have our own plans this hols.
xiang n i working. jess camps n stuff. hx going for vaccation.
aside from xiang, it wun be so easy to meet the rest up again.
but yeah... now that time's on our side, wud find opportunities to meet up together again one :)
eat, chatter, clatter n bring the house down like last time.
walk n shop around malls in our usual twos; xiang wif jess n hx wif me =)
man...that sure bring back some old memories ya...
the ghost of the past has brought us back to 3yrs ago where the four of us wud travel to lot1 after sch to have n hearty n noisy lunch before shoppin or window- shopping ard the mall. in that exact formation- xiang wif jess, me n hx, wif some alterations occasionally.
it was exactly like old times, except that we're in different shells from 3 yrs ago.
an older n wearier shell.
its sad when u can onli live wif memories isn't it?
thank goodness i still have both xiangs wif me now...
yes god, i'll cherish them.

the world is pressing on my head
experienced my first ever hangover.
fark.
n its my second nite of work onli.
dun even remember wat i drank that made me so high... seem as usual wat...
lets see... beer, heineken, beer, hooch, tequila pop, b52, beer, corona, beer, beer, beer, corona, tequila pop, tequila pop, b52, beer, corona, beer, beer, tequila pop, b52, tequila pop, beer, beer, hooch, hooch, hooch....
at least thats how i remember the sequence.
okie wat... dun find the b52 that hard, tho it supposed to be quite potent (?). quite pretty even, wif blue fire burning on top of it...
must be the multiple tequila pops then... but pops are some of my favourites already... must be a mixture of the two ba... =/
xiang drank more than me n she's fine. hmmm.
hope i din spout nonsence...
well, at least i remember the night before.
n most importantly, i din tok to plants.
ahahaha...
mrs chua really doted on us sia...
treated us to supper then sent us home in cab (i stayed over at xiang's house since i was too 'drunk' xiang dun let me go home).
mrs chua leh... from wat we noe, she really veri veri rarely teat her workers one wor... something good comes out of my being drunk at least. tho i couldn't stomach the supper anyway (1/2 a roti prata onli?).
oooh, n mrs chua saw how close xiang n i were??

he's def a fren i'm keeping long after jc.
ytd my first day of work at bt.
nervous at first, forgotten lots of stuff.
but...
we showed that rose who's the top gals there.
n its definitely not her.
fancy trying to boss us around...
hey, we've been away for sometime yeah.
but her experience n expertise is nowhere near us yet al'rite?
intructing us?? in ya dreams gal.
imagine trying to fite wif us for customers or wat... siaoed.
do for who to see?? the bosses issit?? or us? oh pls...
our work is not even commisioned.
we're waitresses for god's sake. not ya fucking lowly hostess or pr.
fancy degrading yaself to that level...
man, she's really desperate for men man...
i dun blame her. if i looked like that, n is so old already, i'll be desperate to get married too.
but then again... nah. i noe i wun. i'm not so despo or so cheap like her. duh.
she can have all the customers she wans. its whether they wan her.
we dun have to throw ourselves or rub ourselves all over the guys to boost more sales than her okie?!
n fancy vying wif us for the bosses attention?? oh pls.
*roll eyes*
we dun have to okie.
we're their gals.
n she isn't.
it says alot already doesn't it?
duh.
but okie lar... last nite was fine except for rose.
quiet nite. a little too quiet for monday nites.
but haha, think xiang n i did a fine job of entertaining the back tables.
at least we have something to do unlike her.
discarded by the guys as soon as we appear... lolx.
think i loosen up better after a few drinks.
otherwise i'm usually too reserved to entertain customers.
problem is how am i gonna get the first few drinks when i'm so reserved to start out wif??!
i'm not like especially chatty or pretty to psycho the guys to buy me drinks. last nite was an exception. but wat bout the future few weeks?? hai...
god. pls make me pretty?? i promise i'll be good this chirstmas.
oooh! n slim too!
