saw chingz darling and her bf! hehe... so qiao ah! chinatown so big and crowded we still can meet dao lo =p saw a uni tutorial mate also with her family...

we bought some cny goodies, muah chee and jelly! hehe... it was really quite worth it cause they were going at cheap prices! there was this irritating china woman though, super kiasu, keep pushing us! feel like smacking her honestly

on nel train to chinatown



at chinatown after getting our stuffs



went home early this year =) reached home just nice 12am haha...

18th Feb 2007 (Sunday) CNY Day 1

woke up at around 9am and prepare to go visiting!

went soka centre first before heading to my grandmother's house...

ate a lot rubbish there cause i didn't had breakfast hehe...

went to some old neighbour's house after that and thereafter, to another relative's house

home after that! every year it's the same old houses we visit~

this cny is the 1st time my baby niece is spending with us! she looked so cute in her traditional costume! the pics are a bit blurrish though cause she kept moving about and refused to let me take a proper pic of her!



stayed at home for the rest of the day to play mahjong with my family! haha... played till 1 plus in the morning and it's the end of day 1

19th Feb 2007 (Monday) CNY Day 2

every year, this is the day that my relatives will come over to visit... but this year, my dad went overseas with all of them to visit another relative in indonesia so today is a free day!

dearie came over to my house to slack... headed back to his house together around 6 plus... supposedly to leave earlier but muddle-headed me forgot where i threw my keys so we got locked in the house... =x we spent a long long time looking for it...

lolz, in the end he found it in my mandarin orange paper bag... =x and it suddenly dawned on me that i had placed the keys in the paper bag earlier on so that it's easier for me to lock the door when we go out, dun need dig in my bag, just dig from the paper bag can already... my plan backfired instead haha

went his house bai nian and sent him to work since it was on the way to my next destination...

on the way to his workplace, does he look very different (i.e, more toot) with specs?



went to city hall after that to meet ll! hehe... long time no see her le!

we were at marina square taking some pics



walked to esplanade after that to catch the fireworks display, took a few pics with my hp but they were so ugly cause there were too much smoke and my camera is not good enough



went to river hongbao after that to jalan jalan but we didn't comb all of it... she introduced me to this stunning jelly ice cream... it's damn nice la!

it's not made of milk or cream or whatever... i also dunno what is it! it's really jelly, chewy chewy one! yum! the ice cream is called hip hop jelly haha so cute right!



we wanted to catch a movie so we walked to suntec's cinema but there's no suitable timing...

headed to the arcade instead... played some basketball shooting game, bishi bashi champ & daytona... it was so enjoyable!

walked to suntec starbucks after that for a drink~

her mocha frap and biscotti



the narcissistic 2 =p



my fav pic of all! 2 piggies welcoming the year of the pig!



headed home after that... today was fun! =)

and that's it for my chinese new year...

hehe... here's to celebrate the start of the 5 days long weekend ahead for me! wootz i am like in a holiday mood since tues la! no mood for school at all!

today passed relatively easy though it's a super long day~

stats tut this morning was a mistake... was still listening at first, after 2 qns, gave up and talked with wq for the rest of the tut... hehe...

lunch at can 2 after that with zouky and wq... wq and i became damn lame again and keep poking fun at zouky... haha...

2 lects after that, ob followed by marketing... god! ob was SOOO damn boring... today is the ultimate out of all the previous lectures! but candy, wq and i were like looking at cleo's 50 eligible bachelors and grading them with a points system... it was damn funny, i laughed till i got tears in my eyes and a stomachache!

marketing lecture went by in a flash in my opinion...

then it's ob project meeting after that... left around 6 plus to go for tuition... was late for 5 minutes... didn't even had time for dinner! fortunately, i predicted that and bought bread along... hee...

my tuition kid's mum gave me an ang bao! she gave me last year too but it's in the middle of cny... hehe... this year so early la! haven even cny eve yet! but i am not complaining of course! she's really nice to me throughout this 1 year plus!

and heard this convo going on between she and her husband... they damn cute la... though they old old le, but i can still sense this en ai between them lo! it's not what i can see in other old married couples... there were a few more incidents before that on why i think this way but i dun really remember le...

anyway the husband was telling her to wear her new year clothes to let him see pretty anotz... then she retorted back in this super bashful voice: "wo bu yao chuan gei ni kan lehz (i dun want to wear for you to see)" haha like 2 kids arguing playfully can! still got somemore to the convo that's quite funny but i dun remb le...

dunno how to explain, but their love for each other is just very evident... and at their age, it's hard la! haha i wonder how many married couples will still be so en ai when they grow old together!

ask my friends around me and they will know i will always comment to them when i see an old couple holding hands... haha... it's just so rare now~ in the past, they said marriage is for life but it seems that it's not the norm anymore... haha i wonder~

whee~ in a pretty good mood now la! probably of the holidays ahead~ after cny week is recess week already! and after recess week is e-learning week~ yay-ded!

blogger's giving me lots of problems! i can't upload photos without it leaving big gaps in between my paragraphs...

i can't see my entry right after i published when everybody else can see it... only until like one day later then i can see it...

i have problems with paragraphing also... though i tried to paragraph the entry already, it always come out as 1 big chunk of words... argh!

alrighty~ going off already! been quite long since my mood were this good and i am gonna lavish the feeling lolz... nitey~

happy birthday to my mummy!

went to meet chingz darling at a bus stop near her house before we head to bugis together...

went for bk breakfast first... so yummy! and bk has nobody except us... heez...

we went to bugis parco and bugis village to shop after that~ shopped from 11 plus till 4 plus... lolz... non-stop action... but it was worth it cause we both got quite a few stuff! haha especially her la! that whole shopping bag of hers is worth $400 plus $500 lo... hardcore shopping!

pit stop at 4 plus where we headed to mos burger for a milk tea and apple pie! then to the hk dessert shop along bugis street for dessert... hehe...

her papaya milk and my gingko barley



went off to national library to study around 5pm~ haha... but we left around 7.30pm... hee, our shopping time is like double of our studying time... oops =x but what matters is we are happy girls after that! =)

the view from the study lounge! nice right... bugis road and hotel inter-continental (the window is dirty so there are some white strips there)



oh then i thot the stupid bf dun wanna care about me already... he gotta work till 8 pm today and told me he's going clubbing after that... didn't hear from him the whole day! when i called him at 8 plus, he just anyhow talk to me for less than a minute and said bye... got upset with him la and still got the cheek to tell me go club somemore!

super hungry on the way home... and as the saying goes, hungry man is an angry man! i got rather cranky... reached home and realized mummy nv left dinner for me though i told her this morning i coming back to eat le... then add up all the sad things recently so i cried... =x super mood swing right, from happy to crying in less than a few hours...

and stupidly around 9 plus, while i was crying at home, he messaged me and tell me to look at my door... i was in my room and i heard my mum talking to somebody and opening the door... was quite stunned when i realized it's him... and damn i am like in freaking lok kok sleepwear... hair messy, eyes red, specs... argh! faster changed clothes in my room! and my mum keep laughing at me... dotz...

very surprised to see him hee but it's hard to have a change of mood instantly after i just cried...

he bought flowers, a cake from four leaves and a prezzie for me... =) THAT STUPID GUY... tricked me and kept me in the dark for so long la! he had it all planned all along!

wearing super formal from work =p



he told me he rushed down from work without dinner to collect the flowers and cake at compass point sengkang as it's nearer to my house... wanted to get the strawberry sweetheart cake from four leaves as i mentioned sometime ago i feel like trying that cake cause it looks yummy but he said it's out of stock... so got this strawberry shortcake instead... kinda touched and feel like crying again lo!

strawberry sweetheart



strawberry shortcake (pardon the words "happy birthday" cause i took this pics from the four leave webby as i forgot to take a pic of the cake just now)



we cut it and gave it to my family members to eat as well... part of a birthday cake as well for my mama~

he showed me the present he got for me after we ate the cake... didn't expect he will get it for me cause i say i will save up by myself for it... it's a guess bag~ heez, been wanting to buy a guess bag but just not sure which design... so he chose a design for me by himself in the end... still tell me can exchange if dun like... thank u dearie~



slacked awhile while we took photos and i showed him my shopping stuff... he left around 11 pm...



ah, this time round, he really did managed to surprise me... normally will have some 6th sense to tell me something fishy is going on or can sorta expect what he's gonna do... not bad ah, u managed to give a surprise this time round... =p

to him: thanks for everything! dunno how to express how i feel la! i feel stupid for all the misunderstandings! sorry... shi wo bu hao la

okiez... long long day tml! morning lessons + 2 lectures + project meeting + tuition(pushed forward from friday, so now i got friday free yay~)... can't wait for tml to be over, i'm gonna skip school again on fri and it's the long-awaited long weekend! yay!

hiyaz diary...

muddle-headed me forgot to bring my phone out today and i only realized it when i reached punggol mrt station la... damn so have to head back home and get it... and in the end, had to take train to outram and take a cab to school from there... costs me 15 bucks... ARGH... could had spent the money elsewhere on more worthwhile things... if not for the stupid econs quiz, think i would had just skipped school...

went to meet him at bugis after lessons today...

woke up early today to cook for him and planned to give him a surprise but things were not what i expected la! made me so pek cek!

went kino to buy 2 books for him before meeting him, i hope he likes them...

we met after that and went to mos burger to get a seat while he eats... hee, i got cook steamed egg but unfortunately, i think i anyhow swing the paper bag and it turned to mush... and is kinda disgusting... =x so er xin

went shopping after that... bought quite some stuff...

dinner at v8 cafe after that and shopped somemore...

then we went to play pool... home sweet home after that~

and i only realized now we nv take any photos together... just individual ones... damn! shouldn't had headed back to take my phone cause at first i was still contemplating whether to go back home to get my phone while i was at punggol mrt... and one of the reasons i told myself why i should go back and take my phone is to use it to take photos... SIGHZ, i think i am BLOODY STUPID

sis and bro-in-law came to my house around 5pm and bought me a terriyaki chicken burger from mos buger for me... it was much appreciated cause i was sooo hungry as i had not eaten anything...

my brother came back from his 1 week reservist around late evening... to say the truth, i was quite happy when i saw him and i realized i actually missed him... =x somehow, never thought i will miss my brother~ and so all of us had dinner together...

after dinner, we played mahjong... took turns la cause too many people already...

sis bought a cake from 4 leaves for mummy as her birthday is on v day but we decided to celebrate over the weekend... the cake is nice! cause there's a layer of malt biscuit which is so yummy! think it's called chocolate ecstasy...

so we sang the birthday song and all that la... baby kylie included!

.::ScHooL::.

hiyaz diary...

project meeting at 8.30am today... lunch with wq and zy after that at quad cafe... the dessert me and wq had was damn nice! tiramisu cake... =)



we went to the tut room early but there were still people inside so we started to take pics outside the room...

i think my eyes are getting smaller and smaller from the lack of sleep...



boring tut as usual~

went home after that to try to complete the comm mgt tasks... what a waste of time and what a bo liao module! loathe it!

my 2 tuition students from last year call me back and said they want tuition again... suddenly all want tuition again at the same time... weird! agreed and now i have 4 students! hehe... hope i can cope!

alrighty~ nitey all~

.::AdRiFt::.

hiyaz diary...

tried to do some school work after i wake up... but keep on procrastinating... plus have to look after kylie so didn't really had time to do much... so sad!

went out to meet dearie in town around 5pm... was running late cause baby wouldn't sleep and i can't go bathe in time... in the end have to take a cab cause already booked tix for a movie at 5.20pm and dun wanna be too late to miss the show...

but stupid dearie go agree to some auntie to do a survey cause he say she quite sad as no one bothers about her and it took damn long which made us miss 15 minutes of the show... lolz, honestly dunno to say him kind or say him dumb...

watched the show adrift... some of the characters in the show are really really stupid at times... but i guess desperation do change people and portray their ugly sides...

we walked to far east for dinner...

from left: fu yong egg, sweet and sour chicken and hotplate beancurd



seems like a lot for 2 at first but we managed to clean off everything and he even ate 2 plates of rice... can never get how guys can have enormous appetites!

shopped around far east after that... the shopping urge kicked in! but i didn't buy anything except 2 nail polish from missha though i saw alot of other nice things... because we made a deal to go chinese new year shopping together when he gets his pay which is still 1 week away~ can't wait for that day to come! i wanna shop~

the process of buying the nail polish was rather funny~ i can't really compare the colours cause i had some polish on my nails already... so he volunteered his fingers... he look damn gay with the 4 scotchtape with different nail polish stuck on his nails... 2 different shades of pink 1 white 1 blue... lolz i saw girls staring at him like he's some weirdo... in the end, i got the blue and the white one...

off to lucky plaza to play pool after that... score is 8-4... he won of course... but i believe in practice makes perfect in this case... i will try harder next time! hee... i am loving this game more and more! it's like an addiction!

it's a nice day out~ probably because it had been quite some time that i went orchard ever since i came back from bangkok... hehe... had a totally new feeling to orchard lidat... suddenly everything there seems interesting and every shop seems to have something new! but i guess the novelty will wear off soon lolz...

nitey all~

hiyaz diary...

love mondays cause school ends at 2.30pm and in my opinion, i only have 1 lesson which is econs tut only though there's stats lect at 8.30am too but ah can't seem to wake up for that every monday~

today have to be in school at 8.30am for ob project meeting... had lunch after that with wen qing, zhanyi and jinlin...

had econs tut and it's the end of the day! =)

went to taka to eat smth light for a snack and bought a new handphone case from m)phosis... i keep losing mine... 3rd time already!

headed to orchard library to borrow some storybooks for my tutee for tml's tuition... i borrowed some books for myself too cause there is a double borrowing limit till the end of jan but in the end, i threw all of them back into the bookdrop cause i figured i wouldn't have time to read them soon! lolz... i had not even finish reading my magazines which i bought like 2 weeks ago... still got lots of readings to do for school... so too bad... though i really like the books i borrowed... =(

went to novena after that to wait for dearie to knock off from work... he had been posted to ministry of home affairs... initially thot will be 5 day week 8-5 from now on... but boy, the twists fate/life can throw to u! it didn't turned out that way in the end... wondering if we can adapt to the new arrangement... but i guess time will tell

i went to shop around velocity and e square at novena... nothing much la... to me, it's rather boring... ended up standing at the mrt control station waiting for him and reading my ob textbook...

we went to block 85 after that for dinner... today it's not so crowded and the ba chor mee tastes much nicer than usual! had oyster egg... the chilli sauce that comes with it is sooooo nice! ah balling in almond milk for dessert... yummy too... the food there always manage to satisfy my taste buds!

took a bus back to dearie's house... we walked to bedok reservoir from his house to enjoy the "breeze" or rather i shall say strong wind... thankfully, i got my jacket with me cause it's so cold! but the view is damn nice!

had an unhappy week with him last week... but i guess everything is fine again after some talking... yeppie...

took a cab home after that...

oh yea on sunday, i arranged my earrings on the earrings stand i bought in bangkok! didn't put all the earrings in cause i know i will definitely buy somemore on and off and i wanna leave space for them! haha... kept all the others that i seldom wear in another box... i think i wun ever touch them de lo but can't bear to throw them away for now... hehe...

looks a bit messy from the picture =p but i still love it hehe



haven put the necklaces on the stand though it can be used to organize necklaces as well... very lazy le! and i realized most of my earrings are dangling ones... lolz... i must build up my earrings collection =p

okiez that's all~ bubbye!
