I totally had a breakdown during driving today.

There I said it.

*bangs head on table*

Not that its the first time it happened but at least I only started to crack when I stopped somewhere safe and regained myself before I went off.

Small consolation for huge embarassment.

Damn the hormones.(and the ever ready tear glands)

~*YN*~ Somewhere in this darkness, there's a light that I can't find.

Warning. This is a very long post.

I dropped PL1101E.

More nua-ing at home or nua-ing with Aud since she quit her job too.

What I do when I nua at home....


I dug out the hair dryer and blew my fringe straight.

I

自拍 with bro. I think we kinda look alike.

Then i started to clear my desk drawer.

OMG I have stuff in there that dates back to 1995 >.<



Apparently I wrote a letter to my mom. Somehow I only have the envelop (Polly pocket!) and nothing inside.

Above this almost relic were a whole stack of cards and letters that I recieved throughout the years....

Some of the more interesting ones are

From Hiuyan... More touchign than interesting bah... Miss her >.<


I have at least 4 cards from Aud. This seriously 无厘头。


This is 夸张。


From Madame... Now I finally remember why Aud had so many "flings" XD

And I also have a habit of keeping my movie ticket stubs
.
I probably have more that I stashed somewhere...


And of course will have some class stuff....


I totally love this pic! My brainchild!


The silly names.


I think Ade sent me this... I havent had a picture of myself alone printed out for quite a while.


This is hilarious in retrospect... My face is totally obscured by someone else's tie.

More random things I found:


Lol. Look who's talking. We were supposed to write down our first impressions of out orientation grp mates in sec 1


WoHoo~ Magnetic bus cards! Spice girls some more! this is like collectors item lah


Another one of the campaign nonsense. I'm proud to be the producer of nonsense XD

Had more stuff to put up but its loading so slowly!!!

~*YN*~

I am so glad that I didnt try to revive my CS3 right after it died or I would have been the one who's dead for exams.

The problem started with some kinda licensing error. And it was suggested that I uninstall and reinstall CS3.

But after do that  N no. of times and getting the same error msg I was getting close to just breaking the CD in half.

The tech support line sucked >.< so much waiting for nothing.

So, today I

1) uninstall CS3
2) started windows vista in simplified mode
3) dl and run Windows installation cleanup utility
4) dl and run CS3 cleanup script at level 3
5) install CS3 again

Voila~



And it all got done in 1.5 hours.T.T

All the time wasted and frustration felt before this was totally unneccesary.

I should have went online and read other ppl's rantings on the horrors of installation process.

Sheesh.

~*YN*~  Not looking back in anger. Just annoyance.

Some things are all in the mind.

I had my first driving lesson on monday and anyone who bothered to listen to my rantings know that I'm really nervous about it.

I think it stemmed from failing btt when everyone said anyone can pass on first try. I was 血气方刚 (erm.... can this be used on a girl?) then and would probably have felt excited instead.

My first round was done in stunned silence while the istructor grabbed the steering wheel.

Must have looked something like this.... only more terrified than happy.

And yes I survived.

Apparently I "perform better under stress".
.
I can remember almost everything I learnt though.

Luckily I had JM to share funny stories with me yesterday. Thanks Kiap!!

For that I shall not retell the stories here XD

Watched Blood: The last vampire. So different from the manga... not that I'd known that much since I only read 2 chapters.

But I did some research and found out that it started out as an anime movie, spun off to manga and novels (Blood+) then into live action movie.

Wah the Blood + premise is really not bad... will watch when I have time.

BTW JM: saya feed the blood to kill the demon cos it will crystallise the demon's blood.

~*YN*~ I guess I'll die another day, it's not my time to go.

Wohoo~ I've finally got some photos of the elusive PFs in action.


From left: baskethead, hothead and pothead

Ok. this is the best picture I've got of the 3 of us. Fully understandable that I'm the only one with a weird expression.

It all started with the trip to Katib for haircut (madame) and farewell to chin length hair posing as fringe (me).

Went on my maiden trip on 969 despite having taken the 2 other buses at the same bay for years. Reached Katib in 20 minutes. So amazing.


Me, still can't find the right place to look at.

Finally. more of my forehead is being covered.

But I still dun trust the stylist enough to cut my hair >.< We all know the inevitable emo-ness that will surface after a bad haircut.....

Tried the pork bun at Tamp one and I'd have to say that the bun was worth queueing for.


Student meal: 3 buns and drink for only $2!

The idea is the same as 锅贴 dumplings, only this is the 小笼包 version.

I'd have to say its not bad and to eat it while its hot. Oh, and I totally forgive the ppl who block up the entrance to queue for it.

Then headed down to Ikea for dinner!


Aud's first time at Ikea bistro!


Our tray of food. (yes. the chicken wing's mine)

I gotta say that whenever the PFs meet for dinner, mischief's around the corner.

Somehow we manage to polish off all the food and develop all sort of weird 三角关系 between them.


Madame feeling compelled to put on a bib.


The sad piece of potato, that was eaten last gets pretty for the last time.


High class yuan yang made with earl grey tea.

Surprisingly fragrant and soothing to drink. Which explains why I'm typing this entry at 2 am in the morning.


Refillable coffee for dinner is never a good idea.

Then madame decided to try something that she got out of 流星花园 (taiwan).

Coffee with salt. Dun even try. It sucks. In a big way.


In her own world

Of course, the day doesn't end till we try to destroy something in our path.


Aud and Madame doing product testing


I am TALL!

Then out of the kindness of our hearts, we rescued an elephant trapped in a glass cup....


... only to put it in  a cocktail shaker ....


and something that looks like a dim sum basket.

Ah.... All the crazy things we do together, my dear PFs.

Others may not understand how we can stand each other's nonsense, but Aud (and Ikea) seem to know the answer.



~*YN*~ 2am and I'm still awake

Have been listening to late night radio these few days.

Lots of new songs only some are nice. That only fueled my believe that songs that are said to be oldies/classics and favourites are the best songs.

How else are they heard so long after they are first introduced?

Went to the supermarket with my mom yesterday and ended up carrying 3 kg of stuff back home.

This weighed 1kg.



I came back home and chopped it all up XD

Its nice to have some chin chow once in a while. I kinda missed drinking it with soya bean milk almost everyday when I was a kid.

maybe that's why I was so fat....

I finally got my hands on a copy of tangled up in you. In tamp library, no less. Wasted money travelling to other libraries the past week :(



I can't help myself. I'm a total book freak. I had to take a picture XD

Currently there are 16 books lying on my newly installed shelf and about half of them are half read.

This is bad. really bad.

~*YN*~

Oh whee~ look at this!!!!


Yesh! I passed on first try. Totally redeemed myself XD

Oh and I applied for PDL. But the thing is.... After studying for the ftt the thought of actually driving terrifies me T.T

So much goes on with the pedals, we just don't get to see it :(

Went to visit my aunt the other day and saw my cousin's son.

OMG. The babies today are really big sized. He's like 5 months old and weighs 10 kg!!!!!





Compare my nephew's legs to my aunt's arm.... I think his legs are as thick as my upper arms(which are thick btw).

He's one happy kid (albeit on a diet, yes his mom put him on a diet. I can totally see why).

As long as you smile or have a laughing tone while talking to him he'd smile back. XD

So after we put him to sleep my other aunt feed me a basket of mangosteen.

Seeing as Aud had her first mangosteen not too long ago, I shall share a tidbit of info on it.

To know how many seeds are in the fruit, flip it over and count the no. of "petals".

The one on the left had 8 and the one on the right had 6 seeds.



~*YN*~

Ok. I'm feeling better today. And I think I figured out why I'm turning emo.

I'm totally a tv junkie esp for American dramas that almost always involve cops, dead bodies and sob stories.

Then after frying my eyes on the comp I read about 30 something women, hunky guys, crazy families each completed with a sob story and sometimes ridiculous plot.

Argh. I would like to get out more but I'm starting to feel the drain on my reserves.

On a lighter note, I present Jo's cute puppy!



Ok great. Now that I look at the picture on screen Kira did a better job at locating the camera than I did :(

Nevertheless, Thank you Geok for taking the picture and dumping Kira on me.

I actually held him for quite a while...

Another first for me. I've had this adversion to holding fragile/volatile/squirmish living things for the fear of dropping them (babies and dogs) or them scratching(cats), grabbing my glasses/earrings (babies) or letting out a loud wail and do their best to get away from me while others give me the evil eye(mostly babies).

But Kira was really 乖 *muppet face*

I've added an album of photos dedicated to him. I seriously need a better camera, I have several frames that were totally empty.

Then went swimming with Aud after the visit.

I seriously dun rmb terrorising other swimmers while I was having lessons years ago.

OMG almost half the pool was filled with high energy children trying to out swim each other.

That really can't be good for anyone. Its times like these that I really wish I lived in a condo, irregular shaped pool and all.

~*YN*~

No idea why. Shall blog abt the golden furball/ bundle of joy I met yesterday tomorrow.

 

You know you're in trouble when you start reading books with more abs on the cover than you see in flesh.

Yes. I just fell into that category.

I thought the heavily ab-ed guys, curvy females with half her boobs exposed and their impossibily perfect long hair blowing in different directions ( so where's the wind coming from?) was a thing of the past or at least strictly restricted to historical romance.

Obviously I'm wrong. I actually have 2 books that have guys with manboobs bigger than mine T.T

Went on a book hunt today. Look at the results


OMG 13 books. I have no idea if I can finish readin all of these on time.

I think my shelf is groaning under all that weight. it sure didnt have any free space left >.<

Keep thinking that I'd learn not to be so greedy.

But when it comes to books (chocolates, soba, chicken wings, bags and clothes), I just can't help myself.

~*YN*~

... to slow you down, that is.

I havn't really been sick for a while and for that I thank all my lucky stars.

Getting sick is always the get out of jail free card for me.

I think I need to start swimming again. Be healthier.

Especially after eating desserts like these....





Funny looking scoop of icecream wonder why they must flatten the thing. The regular scoop might fall off?

~*YN*~
