YAY! 2AM AND STILL AWAKE!

Date: 31 May 09
Time: 2AM

I AM SO DARN TIRED.

Thank goodness I have finall finished editing the report.
Although I still have to edit the press kit...

AND I AM OFFICIALLY SICK! -_-

I freak everyone out with my sexy voice, right Ade & Eve? LOL
I freak some photographers out by my sudden loud sneezes (Please, bobian one leh!)
I freak all MRT passengers out with my TB-alike cough. Some aunties must have thought I had H1N1 and decided to stand up and not sit beside me. And I had to get out of the train to cough finish before boarding the next one. -_-

I AM SO BLOODY FULL.

Please don't feed me with more food.
I can't take it anymore and everything is tasteless now.

有时候交谈变得空洞，沉默却想沟通.
I am getting used to someone not being around.

What I did on my birthday

2pm: Food Photography @ Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant (UOB Plaza 60th Storey) - DIM SUM

6pm: Dinner at Oasis Teochew Porridge, with only ahyi, mummy and ah gong. the rest of the family members aren't free :(

10pm: Crab supper at Melben

It wasn't a good day.
I am coughing terribly, sneezing like there's no tomorrow and nursing a terrbile headache. Fudge.

郁闷，纳闷，很闷！

今天本来要去做运动，
可是早上起来时咳得很厉害，
鼻子又开始当水龙头，
最后决定呆在家里。

最近天气真的很热，
头老是昏昏沉沉的，
加上那天喊学生后又开始咳嗽，
所以有点难受。

（今天本地发现第1起H1N1病例，恭喜！）

昨天到一家大公司面试
面试官品格真的很恶劣，
趁机故意刁难，句句带刺，
让我整天心情简直烂透了。

昨天晚上阿姨也来补习中心帮我把一堆书拿回家。
他们还很乐意地帮我搬了一些家具
好让我能有地方在家教补习，
感激。

学校的研究报告还没写完，
为什么大家都轻松毕业了，
唯独我们还在拼命写写写？
而我还拼命挣扎、抗拒
真是一个Procrastinator.

郁闷，纳闷，很闷！

Birthday Celebration Part I

Dinner yesterday was at 7atenine with Michelle, Jie Ying & Lishan! It was GOOD! Next time I shall go and try their Lunch Unlimited Special! :D

Lishan got me a champagne cake! She told the aunty "NO CHOCOLATE, NO CHEESE" and the bakery aunty suggested this. In the end, there was actually layers of chocolte sponge cake in between. Haha. Nevertheless, thank you lovelies! :D

I wish...I wish...

And of course, how can I not blog about this restaurant? Gosh, I have too many stuffs to do man!

Next up, we went Cookie Musuem to have tea. IT WAS SO PRETTY! *loves*loves*

Yup that's about all. Thank you sweeties for the wonderful night! I hope our next meetup is not in October. Please meet up again before all of us start working ya!

P/S 你还好吗？

SUCKS

MY INTERVIEW TODAY WAS GREAT!

FOR THE FIRST 10 MINUTES,
I ALREADY HAVE THE URGE TO
TAKE MY RESUME,
TEAR IT APART
& WALK OFF.

可恶的人！
简直是鸡蛋里挑骨头！

I DON'T CARE HOW
FUCKING BIG YOUR COMPANY IS.

EVEN IF YOU HIRE ME,
I AM SO NOT GOING TO WORK THERE.

SI-AH-GUA

Saturday - Eat and Eat and Eat!

If you have seen my MSN nick - "Either I kill him, or I kill myself."
You may wonder who was I actually refering to.
"him" refers to a Primary four boy whom I was giving tuition to on Saturday morning.
He just manages to make me SCREAM with the top of my voice for the whole 1.5hours.
And it landed me with a terrible headache after his tuition.
脑冲血！-_-

In the end, I made him stayed back to do his work and tuition dragged for 2hours.
So I was late for my lunch date for 40mins! :(
Took a cab down to Gunther's for the annual food blogger's lunch org by Brad & Yixiao

The 25 food bloggers ate, talked, laughed and spent a fruitful afternoon together catching up with each other and exchanging ideas. Many of us merely exchange comments on our individual food blogs but never meet. And from yesterday's lunch, we know who is who liao. It was a pleasure knowing every single on of them and I am blessed to be involved in this healthy food blogging community. :)

Gunther's - Modern French Cuisine. Obviously it was fine dining and portion was small. So in the end many of us had to go for second round. HAHA! I then rushed for my keyboard lesson with Fungie before heading to United Square for dinner.

At Espirit's Fitting Room...

Dinner was at Daidamon. It was my favourite Japanese BBQ restaurant when I was working at Keypoint. Miss their BBQ food.

Fungie bought a bling bling diamond love ring at $3 from Diva. SO PRETTY!! :)

This cup of orange juice is memorable. While waiting for our food, the manager asked if we could change seat as the table that we were sitting on is actually reserved. We agreed and I just jokingly ask for 10% off our bill for agreeing to change seat. So the manager decided to give both of us a FREE DRINK EACH! muhahahaha!~~

I didn't eat BBQ dinner, ate the Beef Bimbibab instead. Though Gunther's lunch was small portion, the weather is humid, plus I felt tired after scolding my student, so I didn't really have appetite :(

Headed to Basement to camwhore! The lightings at night were great but I am still having problems with my night shoot :(

Pretty but blur T_T

This woman, trying to act ghostly -_-

Think this is the end of my eating journey? NO!

On our way to Novena Square, we saw this ice cream shop that has 100 different ice cream flavours and it's SUPER CROWDED! So we went in and bought two flavours - tiramisu and vanilla honeycomb! They have MAO SHAN WANG DURIAN! IT'S DAMN GOOD! I got to try a mouthful of it. Fungie said it's smelly. zzzzzz

Yup, that concludes the end of my tired Saturday.

*****

今天是外婆的忌日。
7年前的这一天，她离开了我们。
虽然已经过了那么久，那痛苦的一天仍是记忆犹新。

每逢清明节或她的忌日，家里总会特别地忙碌。
烧金银纸、煮外婆生前最爱吃的红豆糕等。
就连外公，虽然没说什么
星期六晚上既然会看电视到半夜一点。
本来很累的我，还是奉命陪君子。

希望外婆在另一个地方过得好。
I miss her...

今天的我很累。

Wishlist - Blow Up

As I get older, I felt more embarrassed to create a wishlist. Perhaps I am just afraid getting old.

I love the combined powers! MFSS + AJC and I can have a BIG PRESENT! Whee! Perhaps next time all combine MFSS + AJC + NTU + YAC = POWER! wahahahaha~
But then again, it's a BIG HEADACHE because I don't really need anything :(

Miss Fang stressed me to create a Top List. So here it is. They are seperated into 3 categories:

ONE. NEEDS.

I think the best thing now is MONEY. Because I am frankly very terribly BROKE. ha!

Okay. My laptop is half gone and the netbooks are damn chio. Well of course, if you can get me a laptop, all the more I don't mind. I tried looking for the cheapest / second hand ones but sorry still out of budget. OPS! But this is the one thing that can last for long :)


TWO. WANTS
Since they are WANTS, they are not arranged in any chronological order.

Your eyes are not playing a trick. There are two number ONEs because I love both as much (so it depends on which one falls within the budget and which one do u think suits me more). Well, I don't really wear metallic strap watch but I think I can make do with that DKNY model. I think :p

Avene seems to be popular and I would love to try their facial products, hopefully they work well on my skin. The products that are suitable for me:
- Avene Cleanance Soap-Free Facial Gel Cleanser
- Avene Gentle Toner
- Avene Cleanance K Oil-Control Lotion
- Avene Cleanance Emulsion Anti-Shine Regulating Lotion
- Avene Cleanance Acne Spot Treatment
- Avene Thermal Spring Water

BOUGHT!

I walked into Courts today and thought I can get a Canon Selphy Photo Printer so that I can print out the photos that I took with my new camera :)

Diana F+. The tick ones means they are those that looks OK to me. Well, this is really a WANT because I am still very much in love with my camera and I think I may just play with it for awhile and chuck it aside?

Those that are on my profile's wishlist but not stated here are considered less-wanted-wants. These include: Nike sportswear and oven. :p


THREE. DON'T WANTS
- Vouchers are BIG NO NO!
- No clothes

TROUBLESOME RIGHT?
Why don't just bring me for a nice meal and spend a day together?
I will be more than happy as it is the company that really matters... :)

Results

I have never been a good student throughout my university life, I have to admit. Watching movies and shows during lectures, spending half of my time giving tuition, joining alot of courses and doesn't really give a damn to my studies blah blah blah.

It's obvious. Getting Cs and Ds which eventually pulled down my GPA to a 3rd Class Honours with a GPA of 3.34.

And in my final semester, I decided to push myself hard. Where got people overload with so many modules in the last semester when the rest are working with FYP? Got lor, I am the crazy one.

I seriously don't know how did I survive through.

But one thing I know, I really work hard. Very hard. It's like putting all the effort for my entire 4 years into my final semester.

Impossible to change a GPA grade in the last semester? Well, I DID IT!

As long as I am not 3rd class, I am happppppyyyy!
If not I may consider not attending my convocation! LOL
FYP - A!
And 2A- for my drama modules!

THIRD CLASS -> SECOND LOWER! SAY YAY!
Good Job Miss Ow, the DRAMA QUEEN!

你辛苦了！!

Ok at least my panda eyes are all worth it now. :)

Shopping!

Darling Aunty took leave today and accompany me to town to get a birthday present! :D

I have been using my Pierre Cardin wallet since 18 years old and although it's torn and tattered, I still very much refused to get a new one. Partly because of my laziness (I find that it can still be used) and partly I can't find anything that really caught my eye that I must get it.

Or put it in nicer term, I am a loyal person *ahem*ahem* Just like I can eat the AMK Bak Chor Mee and Lor Mee every week and still not get tired of it. Haha! 毕竟它跟我5年了，是有感情的咯！可是，已经破洞了，阿姨说这样会破财，所以只好换掉（难怪我觉得最近自己的钱不懂花到哪儿-心理作用！哈哈！）

But this time round, looks like it's really time to discard my old wallet and get a new one.

So we met in Takashimaya after my workout.

Still young and pretty! :D

Yucks, the colour sucks...

And she bought me a... ...

I know, I know. You guys will ask why didn't I get the classic monogram LV wallet?

I stayed in the shop close to 1 hour, choosing between a monogram long wallet (French purse) vs Epi Joey Leather Wallet (what you seen above). I look there, look there, pose here pose there. It was a struggle Ok!

Before I went, I was surfing the online catalogue the day before. Since I have been using a long wallet for 5 years, I thought I will get something more squarish this time round. Then I told myself I must get those classic ones. Buy LV, must hao lian clearly that you have LV mah right! LOL! But amg all classic designs, I like french purse too - but it's long wallet!

So i went into LV today, with the intention of getting the classic wallet lah. But when I saw the Epi WHITE leather wallet, OH MINE IT MELTS ME HEART!

So it was a struggle.

Then I convinced myself that I should get a white wallet if I want to use it for 8 years because I will sure dirty it in no time. Then now it was the battle between the classic monogram one vs the black leather one.

Conclusion: I got the black leather one. It looks big and bulky, but I like the grip and it's the feel after thinking for 1 hour. I hope I didnt make the wrong decision.

Because this is much more expensive than the classic one, and enough to buy another good DSLR... O_o Yes Fungie, Shijie and Chris, I will use this wallet until it's left with skin! LOL

My 1st branded.
Thank You AH YI! I LOVE YOU!
