Fushigi Yugii
office's work about done, starting my manual work outside in the workshop le... polishing plastic n the likes -.-
tiring n monotonous... time seems to crawl by.
n the worst thing is? maybe cos its so energy consuming or smth- i get hungry all the time!! wah lao, taxing on my purse-strings u noe??! not to mention it wun do me any good to stuff my face all the time ~.~
the only bright side tho, is the company i've got in the workshop wif my other 3-4 colleagues.
maybe its cos of the fact that i'm the only gal among their midst (excluding the ladyboss, lillian), but they treat me extremely well.
n ah hoe, the malaysian who goes back every weekend, has found Fushigi Yugii - the comics set i've been looking for for ages in s'pore to no avail, n will be buying them back for me from malaysia this weekend!!!!!!!!!
god, i'm so excited!!! X)
cant wait to lay my hands on them next monday....
[^_^] \/
oooh...i really hope nth goes wrong... that he cant find or get the set from the shopkeepers he's familiar wif in malaysia, or he cant find the full set, or the book covers are damn ugly, or they're printed wif missing pages, or the comics translated into broken chinese, or god forbid! malay!
=x
argh... hope nth goes wrong n i'll have my full set of Fushigi Yugii by next mon.
n oooh... i'm getting them at malaysia price RM$4.70 or so, which makes for about $2.30-$2.50 each in Sing dollars! for a set of 18 books, that wud cost about S$45 or less. wat a bargain! X)
ok, hopefully if no problems arises it'll be at those prices lar :p
comics, comics, comics...
meng huan you xi, meng huan you xi, meng huan you xi ...
i can't wait!! X)

"your daughter's very pretty leh."
the nicest thing i've heard in a long time:
"wah, your daughter's very pretty leh!"
lolx! ;p
laughing n rolling ard after my dad told me wat his fren said...
"huh? Pipi, wat did ya fren say?"
"he said, u're very pretty..."
rolled in hacking laughter across the length of the living room and back again.
"wat did he say?"
"he said, my daughter's very pretty..."
choke on my laughter wif actual tears streaming down my face, grabbing my sister for support, still doubled over in laughter.
my sis n dad looked at my abandoned hysteria in amusement.
"wat did he say?? wat else did he say?!"
erm.... ok, nvm.... -.-"
lolx! stop fishing for compliments vivis!!
lolx... =p

Father's Day
Father's Day today...
given my dad the Crocodile shirt my sis n i got him le... fits him just nice somemore.
can see he's very happy, likes it alot...
his eyes were twinkling like a young boy's when i handed him the gift, n he hurriedly tried it on...
after that he preened in front of the mirror, a wide crooked grin on his face, "i like the colour".
grey. wanted to get him white initially, but too transclucent.
"yeah, lynly chose it..."
a wider grin as he turned back n forth in front of the mirror to check it out.
"i like it... thank you."
and swooped down to give me a kiss on my cheek.
"help me give lynly a kiss too."
i acted pretty non-chalant throughout the whole affair, but i was plesantly surprised that he actually likes the gift so much. tot he'd jus accept the gift without much gusto n carried on watching his tv without giving the present a second eye.
Times like this makes me feel really bad for ignoring him all the time....

letting go
i've had a habit of dropping frens when i let go of the past... been this way since P sch...
first wif jasmine, then wif yeewei. n later chun kiat.
its lucky then that i wasn't very close wif lizabeth n xiang when we were in pri sch...
at least, not to the pt of revealing all...
otherwise, i noe i'd have already ended the frenships before they have the chance to develop till wat they are now.
but it seems to me that there's a part of my personality n my past thats been stifling me badly now... that i long to discard. but who noes me better than my closest frens?
do i have to begin the cycle all over again?

PASSIONATE LOVER. You love to love, always looking
for a relationship. You cannot live without it.
Your lover must be passionate and you want
that you and your partner melt into each other.
He/She should not try to take the domination .
You dont want a relationship without passion,
and the sexuality plays a big part. The first
moment you meet him/her is one of the most
important. There has to be something between
you , you cannot explain. From the first moment
on everything must fix. But when this passion
disappears you disappear to. For you it is
better to leave than to see your love
restrained.
PLEASE VOTE, I want to know what you think about my
quiz, I worked hard on it.You can always
message me or tell me how I can improve that
quiz. Ill sure write back.
~THE big LOVE TEST!! What do you need? With PICS! For girls and boys!~

Waist length hair
people been commenting on how long my hair has grown.
hmmm...
yup, glad i din 'trim' it after my rebonding now, come to think of it. else i wun have this hair length now oso. still, its a long way till my ideal hair length... bout waist length ;p
in the mean time, think i'll settle for hair that reaches my nei yi dai (bra strap; bout mid back)...lolx~!! =p
yup, reaching there... give me another couple of months.
oh ya. started work already, for those who still dunno.
clerical stuff etc, in bukit batok. but its somewhere in the stupid industrial park behind the bb swimming complex... hell to get there every morn man, grrr...
but after all my clerical duties are done, wud have to start helping out in the warehouse... polishing plastic.
wat the hell??
argh. hope my clerical work dun finish so soon...
pay's not bad i guess.
already hard to find office work tt'll accept me after they noe i'm waiting for uni entry n will be working for two months onli (been very honest bout these in the 20 or so resumes i've sent in the past week... that prob explain the few calls i've received despite the many sent resumes).
so when this company called wif the not so bad offer, even (n especially) accepting my conditions tt i can onli work two mths at most, i took it.
work's ok so far... (cos i haven started on the polishing plastic part -.-), n the bosses are ok too. down point prob tt i'm working in immediate condition wif my bosses - in the same small office.
cant slack or even use the phone except during lunch n when they end work early.
and the other downside - working's really energy draining.
not a person wif high energy levels to begin wif (not like xiang), tho not as bad as hanxiang either. but been finishing work n coming home to sleep in a zombie mode the past few days since i started working. even tho i end work at bout 6pm, n not my usal retail hrs.
really put a damper on my social life -.-
dun have the energy to meet ian for dinner or supper (going to bed bout 9plus??) tho he's been out of camp these few days [*get well soon ian~!!!].
n jus the other day turned down layhoon to go chiong at zouk on wed nite (ladies nite somemore wor) wif their bunch even tho its Vesak day/ public hol today n i dun haf to go work.
yeah.
in fact, i'll prob regret it first thing tml morn tt i actually stayed up so late to blog this entry -.-
argh.
anyway, shall c how long i'll stay at this job.
getting my pay every two weeks so may stay for 6 weeks instead of the intended 8 weeks.
also, also, getting my pay every two weeks will allow me to have some spare cash to shop wif at e end of the second week... the lure of the GREAT SINGAPORE SALE~!!! *whoots*
=D
(Temp)list of things to buy:
1. lots of make-up (esp. foundation) to last me thru the rest of the yr.
2. one or two pairs of jeans
3. a pair of shoes. at least.
3. a bag?
4. pants maybe.
5. lots of tops!!! =p
a gal gotta prepare herself for sch u noe? haha ;p
gotta save for the rest of my uni fees too though... fark.
estimate that i still have at least S$1.5K to pay at the end of july...
thats no joke if you are the one having to scrimp n save for that amt of money when u have like onli a couple of dollars in ya bank account -.- gotta start from scratch.
thats y these couple of mths are impt to me, gotta work n save for the sch fees, etc. cant keep relying on my parents. they've payed enuf for me already (the 4k plus first installment, wth).
dun have the american time to slack like some frens of mine who've already gotten a full scholarship into uni plus monthly/ yearly allowances for the duration of their studies.
Or those who've their rich parents to see to their every need.
*note: yup. u read between the lines correctly - that sentence was written in contempt.*
