Lucifer. The most misunderstood of all the
ArchAngels, you're most like the ArchAngel of
Light. You've seen the darkside and have opted
for something better. You need better press,
though chances are no one will really
understand your motives.
Which ArchAngel are you most like?
brought to you by Quizilla
Your wings are BROKEN and tattered. You are
an angelic spirit who has fallen from grace for
one reason or another - possibly, you made one
tragic mistake that cost you everything. Or
maybe you were blamed for a crime you didn't
commit. In any case, you are faithless and
joyless. You find no happiness, love, or
acceptance in your love or in yourself. Most
days are a burden and you wonder when the
hurting will end. Sweet, beautiful and
sorrowful, you paint a tragic and touching
picture. You are the one that few understand.
Those that do know you are likely to love you
deeply and wish that they could do something to
ease your pain. You are constantly living in
memories of better times and a better world.
You are hard on yourself and self-critical or
self-loathing. Feeling rejected and unloved,
you are sensitive, caring, deep, and despite
your tainted nature, your soul is
breathtakingly beautiful.

bitter sweetness
met huishi for lunch ytd.
its been a long time since i actually met her.
ate, chat, shopped ard bp plaza for a few hrs.
hmmm.... we sure have very different views towards love n relationships. she told me some things between she n her gf... she even asked me do i think she'll be better off breaking off wif her gf, but who am i to advice her on relationship matters? esp their kind of relationship which i dunno much of.
went rafflesplace to meet glo in the evening to celebrate her (belated) birthday over dinner at cafe cartel. bloated sia. sworn off solid food for one whole month at least after ytd nite. but look where i am now... stuffed wif more food again -.-"
sigh... my will power is weak, if it isn't negligible to start wif.
*groan*
oooh, surprised even myself wif my sweetness.
actually arranged wif the staff at cafe cartel to haf a slice of cake (sticky, chewy cho fudge) topped wif a candle to be sent to our table (without glo's knowledge of cos)??
lolx... tell me am i sweet anot? ;p
ok ok, it may seem nth to the likes of others. but i'm not xiangling who's so good wif these kinda ideas all the time, able to come up wif all sorts of ideas to pamper her frens n romance her bfs. but its a start no?? keke, thinks xiang's rubbing off me in some good way at last.
*wink wink*
lolx... ;p

s.a.t
went down bt last nite wif xiang n ian.
damn tired actually. onli slept 2 hrs the nite before n took the 4hrs sat paper early in the morn. draining sia. maths is like fucked up as usual (was jus asking xiang how to use the calculator the nite before, can u imagine?). english is pretty rusty too. like, watever. dunno how i'll score this time. fucking waste of my money , time n energy sia. nvm, forget it.
anyway... hoho, finally dragged ian down to bt le! :p
easier to drag him down next time too, haha.
make no mistake, i had a hard time persuading him to come down at first. but me being me, i succeeded of cos ;p
din wanna go bt before that (tho xiang asked me to), too tired. but he msged to say he's bored, wat am i doing, so decided to ask him if he wanted to go down bt anot lor. lolx :p
i was wearing red ytd (my new year clothes: red halter top n striped pants). he was wearing red too when he arrives. gave the waitresses there some things to tok about.
but haha, having him down sure has its pros. glenn dared not come to our table to chat n dared not kiss me goodbye when he left (tho he did kiss xiang gdbye, poor her). was about to hug me n bend down when he glanced at ian n jus smiled goodbye. ian has his uses after all ;p lolx.
now that i'd dragged ian down wif me one, it'll be easier for us (or for me to ask him down) to go back down when he wans to have a drink n chat le.
oooh... before i forget, its glo's 19th birthday today.
happy birthday n sweet 19, glory~!!!

Lunar new year
been back to visit bp on new yr's eve.
uncle tan n tom chan were saying how much i've changed...
my hair has grown longer; it used to be 'sooooo short'.
did it?
can't really remember.
but it certainly was a lot shorter when i checked my neoprints from that time, esp when i was in sec 2. short baby-doll cut.
but its not only my appearance that has changed.
tho i dun feel any different from i used to two yrs ago, i know how far i've come n how much i've seen in this time.
bt n jc has changed my view of the world.
i no longer look thru life's experiences thru rosy-hued lenses.
life is alot bleaker n more profound than it seems.
gone are the care-free n happy-go-lucky days.
along wif age n maturity (altho i've always been mature for my age) comes much worries n responsibilities to shoulder.
n i'm not sure i prefer this.
have u read a good book lately?
i did.
its called 'i don't know how she did it', by allison pearson.
chance upon it by luck n decided to buy it after some hesitation.
n glad i did.
the story is about a career-minded working mother of two children, juggling a high-flying career (as in literally. she flies around the world there n back like twice a week sometimes) and home-making. oh, n an email lover too. its a comedy really. i absolutely love the uproariously funny narrative n candid language. but its also alot deeper n more reflective than that, showing the author's great insight into the people in society as well as life's many events n experiences.
the book is a comedy about failures; n a tragedy about success.
The story is told with incredible feeling, personal insight and great humor. The characters are exceptionally real and loveable, and the plot carries you along until the end. a trully enjoyable book.
so glad i bought this book.
this is pearson's debut novel, but am gonna buy her other books in future!
hmmm... sat paper tml.
gotta wake up bloody early in the morn to travel to orchard to take the stupid test for which i havent studied for yet. gawd.
gonna go kinokuniya to buy more books after that. *grinz*

temp job
ooooh... got a temporary job wif xiang packing books n stationary at clementi starting tml :)
*grinz*
onli 3 days tho.
but the pay's not bad.
normal rate of $5/hr on sat n mon, but $10/hr on sun!!!
*raise eyebrow*
yup, i need the money so the temp job is a welcome.
so many things to buy n spend on...
1. new supply of contact lens
2. rebonding (prob after new yr, since i wun have time now)
3. chinese new year clothes (yeah yeah, havent bought yet)
4. more supply of herbalife (still to see i guess...)
etc etc.
the first two wud set me back by at least 2 or 3 hundreds le... =/
quick let me find other jobs, wif good pay, good location n good working environment!
nearly got a job at daiso (imm's) wif xiang actually... oh well.
wonder can i get a job at any bookstores, comic shops, boutiques or stuff? esp bookstores; that'll be very satisfying indeed :)
boutiques oso not bad, imagine if i can get staff price for the pretty clothes... ;p
3/4 way thru eragon now...
thats quite a feat in less than 12hrs (including a nite's sleep) yeah? considering that its the shape n size of an encyclopedia (500+ pges!!).
comments so far?? not bad... sure dun looks like the work of a 15 year old. paolini (currently 19) wrote this first of a trilogy in a span of 3 yrs. quite a feat for a 15-yr-old ya?? the age of the writer is one of the reasons that intrigue me into reading this book too *raise eyebrow*
lolx...
wat can i say, i'm a sucker for children's books.

year 2004
Happy new year everybody~!!!
while everybody was busy partying on new year's eve last nite, i was working my butt n feet off!! busiest day at bt in a long long time man... walked n rushed n carry n heave n walk n rushed, take a lot of freaking orders, carried alot of martell bottles n glasses n their accompanying ice buckets n mixtures... scary man. wun be able to pay if i drop even one bottle -.-"
my feet were kiiling me by 1+am, n i still hafta walk n work till 4+am??
shit.
by 4+, i was positively hobbling already.
damn, if i knew i'd have worn a lower platform or some other shoes instead of my heels. my whole feet were on fire n pain like shit.
xiang too... n she was breaking in new heels??
she almost cried with the pain after we ended work.
(thats jus an expression, tho its prob not far from the truth)
n those few freaking customers still wun go home!!
the last song ended at bout 4.30am.
but the stupid sausage-lips egoistic biggot was still strutting around attempting to chat wif the staff as if he's some big shot.
he has the fattest n ugliest lips i've ever laid eyes on can??
as well as fucking lousy social skills.
his drinking is like shit oso lor, gin (our previous supervisor who came to help out) challenged him to make him finish his drinks quickly n scram n he was like crapping n crapping n drinking so slowly??
yet he think he's so popular or wat??
can't he see we're waiting for them to fuck off so we can close??
n he kept commenting n criticising on abby's figure in front of her husband.
even judy was chastising him her husband din say anything so all the more he shd keep quiet.
n he was still suspecting is that guys really her husband anot??
how fucking dumb is he? duh.
in the end they left at 5am.
nvm...
its always eventful working at bt.
thats onli one minor incident that happen in one nite.
if i were to comment or complain bout every or even some stuff that happened everytime i work into my blog, u can imagine how much i've to blog about already. thats y i rarely blog bout my worklife anyway.
*shrugs*
last nite's supposed to be the last nite we work.
but abby has somehing on on monday, n msr chua pleaded wif us to help her out that nite. so next monday wud be our last working day.
hopefully.
sigh...
gonna quit drinking after that.
fark.
nah, mabe not quit... but consume as few times as possible.
notice i said few times instead of as little or lesser amount?
thats cos i noe if i really go out for a nite of drinking no way will i drink little.
so sad rite??
other pple love to drink, but they can't hold their liquor well.
while i don't like drinking yet can hold my liquor so well.
