durian dreams.

detached from all.its the durian season. king of all fruits. i've had lotsa lotsa DURIANS on sunday and tuesday nite. its reali nice sitting down tgt with ur family on the floor, prying open durians, enjoying those delectable lil fleshy meat. ARGH. I LOVE DURIANS!!! and they are reali cheap cheap too. momsie got em at 11 for 20bucks, not bad i say, taste wise.
if only vainpot was around to eat durians with me. he's in reservice, but coming out in a few hours. he has been gone for 2 weeks. i miss him to smithereens! :D:D:D
last week was SCBE FOC camp. Nueve V. it was fab. i tot as main comm,i wouldn't have much to do. but the main comm reali did help each other out. to be honest, i felt rather displaced. being not very close to the main comm people made me kinda dread camp. i was reali hoping i would enjoy it and not have that mental struggle during camp. that kind of feeling sucks. at some point of time i did wonder, what i should do, my role in camp. as hon gen sec, i didn't reali have any specific role in camp except to wake up early to take the temperature of the freshies (camp nurse) and do some admin stuff. most of the time i was helping welfare with shifting stuff or just randomly helping around or following kanza. at least i wasn't doin nth.
random tots to myself.. i do have close frens, but why neva a clique of frens whom i am close? a clique who regularly hang out, chill...do stuff tgt. its just so weird.
camp ended well, the closing ceremony was pretty emo. romantic setting, nice closing video caused me to shed some tears. although I'm not reali close to any Nueve V main comm ppl, i reali appreciate the people who haf been ard me during that 5 days of camp. everyone kinda gotta noe each other beta due to the fact that we worked tgt as a main comm, doin all the shit work to ensure no hiccups..sleeping the latest. goin down to the sentosa chalets to check in b4 anyone else. being part of the R21 video directed and acted by derrick yong, lol. doin the most work at the same time getting the least limelight. i did enjoy all ur company.
F4LN- Friends For Life Nueve.
and i reali hope my jc frens would be frens for life too. i promised ruoning i wld be her bride's maid!!!
we just celebrated glenn's b'day ytd nite at phuture. not reali somewhere i wld wanna go to catch up with the gang. but i was reali happy that at last, at last all six of us could meet up, regardless of whether our other frens were ard...glenn, ruoning, alana, tingyan & roy, i <3 ur to bits. i reali hope we can meet up more often, ritually. i reali miss those JC days, sitting at the back row with ur has neva been on my regret list ((:
2mr is kanza's LIVE or DIE. OG of 4 generations coming tgt. i will live cauz i will control. but i know some are just going to die and i foresee mad guys smooching each other. lol.
i'm gone!
miss miss.

after 1 month.I realised i haven't blogged for 1 month. I'm just too lazy. and i just realised i stopped blogging ever since i started work. work at the cafe has been great & short. i worked only two weeks and went baq to sch lab to work, so i only work at cafe on saturdays now. lab is SO boring. i feel like i'm SLAVE DRIVEN. the post doc lady is a workaholic so she expects me n my junior to stay in lab till like 7+pm tgt with her?!? we get into lab ard 9+am? and i'm doing the SAME FREAKIN' THING in the lab everyday. separating compounds using a long column. so everyday i just wait there "patiently" for the compounds to drip out, drop by drop into conical flasks and evaporate the solvent, test the compounds using thin layer chromatography. eeeew, i will never aim to do my PHD. opportunity cost is high, really. well unless ur become a prof. which i tink i will fail at )): oh but i'll get to maybe stay in those bungalows in NTU. or maybe become a senior hall fellow in hall 6. HAHA!
i guess i haven't been really blogging in the earlier part due to this:
right after the chopper sunk its blade into my fingers.
its healing!
i was helping my mom chop carrots for her achar! she must have felt so guilty, lol. i just froze and stood there, not knowing what to do when the blood flowed out profusely. thank God my nails saved me ((: though its healed now, it still hurts when i press against my fingers. well at least i can stil blog. HAHA.
i admit, i am a lab hazard, destroying my post doc's compounds by tipping the contents into the water bath(its a no no for the compounds to touch water). i am a kitchen hazard too!
anyway, vainpot got me a soft toy, it was on sale, $9.90 only! say hello to matsumoto sunflower.
lemmi explain the origin of its name. the company that manufactured this soft toy is called matsumoto. vainpot says the colour resembles the colour of his favourite flower, sunflower. i pretty like the name matsumoto. therefore, its called matsumoto sunflower. ok, stop rolling ur eye balls at meeeee.
something which i don't do often now. but for ET's bday..this party queen still got the energy, seriously. all hail Queen E.
hall 6 again. haha.
HAPPY B'DAY QUEEN E.
part of the gang ((:
rave on.
i'm tired! 2mr, i'm gonna get slave driven again. bless me. and then i'm gonna watch
I LOVE YOU, MAN. heard its nice. and i'm so gonna watch transfomers, argggh! drag me to hell was scarily funny. its not bad seriously, tho the audience spoiled the scary atmosphere by laughing non-stop -_- . ghosts of girlfriends past was a lil touching, alright for a movie.
bedtime i'm gone. i need to lose weight, actually, tone up. i'm sad. BYE.
(oh haha I LOVE YOU VAINPOT <3)

on the tues nite, i attended my church fren father's funeral wake. the jade room at s'pore casket was sardine packed with his frens and relative, all there to offer their condolences to his family. he is a very dear fren to me. we used to be pretty close when i was still attending youth service religiously. the mood was pretty gloomy except for some smiles when ppl caught up with one another. he hadta fly back from aussie to attend to the funeral matters. as he came to greet me, tears just welled up my eyes as i gave him a warm hug of comfort. u cld see he was trying to stay strong, still laughing a lil, smiling and showing u dat he's alright with that constant nodding. but the sadness n pain in his eyes were evident. i felt so sorry 4 him, but i cldn't do much too. his father passed away so suddenly, in the hotel. he was climbing mt. kinabalu b4 dat. the autopsy revealed that he had a swollen heart,maybe heart attack. but nobody knew, cauz he was staying alone. its just so sudden n shockin', everything. the most i can do is to keep him in prayer. take care my dear fren.
i shall do up my resume n cover letter (YES, its suppose to be done long looooong time agooo) NOW.
i'm gone!
dreaming of chhhhh-chhhinnngg $_$
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

jobless and penniless )):hello! i'm back from crazyland. exams over since 2 weeks ago. i can't believe dis sem is OVER! zomg, the most xiong sem so far. its been a rough ride i say, but with some new study buddies (meech and matthias + adeline and eve sometimes)...w/o them, i wldn't haf survived dis tumultuous road. i din break down as often during dis exam period as compared to the past, but i can't believed i cried afta 2 papers. out of the 5 papers i took, 3 were smelly egg CRAP. the feeling of despair after walking out of the exam hall, indescribable. then i'll think to myself, well i wasn't very consistent in my studies dis sem (neva 4 all sems) but i dare say i studied the hardest dis time round. no choice i guess, since we had graded tutorials and weekly lab reports which took away so much time. plus stupid projects, not worth the time and effort. argh, let's just say, i'm relieved it's over. some quote: "tears dried, heart died." haha
been meeting up with lotsa ppl lately. happy happy!
with my CN Yang ppl. the smarty pants. me not included. HAPPY UBBER BELATED B'DAY, MOTHER JEREMY AND EVELYN!

((: HAHA, noobs. i tanned at the sch pool b4, twice. so i can actually count the number of times i went tanning. with lotsa sun-block! i dun wanna age dat fast. i was pretty freaked out by two tranny. i was inside cafe del mar's toilet cubicle when i started hearin voices which sounded like men.
adam's apple alert. Me: "oh no, am i in the wrong toilet? Shit." came out to see too black tranny in bikini. haha, i was reali trying not to look at them with those fake silicon boobs. mine pale in comparison. LOL. we had ban mian for dinner and we didn't get darker from tanning )): must be the tonnes of sun block i applied.
