I waited for 7 buses before i could finally get up at the clementi station to school zzzz and in the end was late by half an hour..

what's the SBS doing? they should know there will be INFLUX of people taking those particular buses at this time, should have done something like NTU, the 179A service which is direct to and fro the interchange and NTU.

On a happier note, these are my buys for these few weeks lol so happy ah though the new shoes still cut me, badly.




with bling bling lol, now i can taller beside dear

I like the LOUD colours

and I have wrapped 2 of dear's pressies, going shopping with him this sat to get another of his pressie lol
hmm I am attentive to details de :P

Cute butt

******

and my microsoft office 2007 got CORRUPTED! GREAT.
hopefully sis can bring me a new copy tml and I can resume my editing for my assignment
I HATE VISTA too

Feeling better

Bonus email came in! Better than last year though not as fantastic as others I knew of.
Then again, cant really compare due to different work scope, experience and company.

Anyway, trying very hard not to touch the bonus and hopefully all will get transferred to my savings account towards paying my school fees~
ganbatte!

some juicy news

wow. about her 50 boyfriends, she claimed, "its all part of growing up"

and can date 5 guys at one time

and though she claimed she's not a virgin but she never had sex with all of them.

wow. and what kind of image does the pageant wants to portray to others about such contestant?

not exactly wow, I have heard of people "having relationships for fun" when they were younger

not to this extent though.

BUT would you accept someone who had so many partners before? What will your limit be?

Red Cliff

Sat
This week had been a busy week and we could only manange to meet up on sat. Both had been busy with studies and projects. I Went to fetch dear from school and off we went to watch RED CLIFF! We did not manage to watch last week so I booked the tickets on Thursday for Sat's show hahah, not surprisingly when I checked the seats, the last four rows were already taken up. And when I went to collect the tickets at the box office, it was full house that day all the way till the late night shows hahah so its always good to be prepared.

Took the bus there and it was really warm and humid and there were so many students in the bus as it was along bukit timah route to orchard whereby various schools are lined at the side. Dear commented that I lost weight. I like to hear that though I know it aint healthy. Mum even said I am malnourished not that I dont eat, food at the workplace doesnt entice my appetite. She bought a tupperware set for me to let me bring food to workplace. So sweet of mum.

The show did not disappoint! Beside the blood and gore and also brotherhood, its interesting to know the story of "romance of 3 kingdoms". The show makes me want to read up more indept into it.

Dinner was at Beach Road for duck rice~ succulent duck meat with generous serving of gravy and also the side dishes were appetising too. We had salted veg, pig's ears and braised egg and beancurb. The pig's ears are really good, chewy and flavourful. Its good for your cartillage too~

Sun

Brought Snoopi out for a walk with mum and sis and we walked along the canal and the exercise park. We tried to get Snoopi to exercise too LOL but I think he has a little trouble with balancing.

Now its in the afternoon and I'm still doing my essay.
1/4 more to go! lol
Did parts of it on fri, sat morning and left another quarter before i can do the finishing touches to it.
Its not that frightening afterall for a 1000 word essay >< I'm already 900+ with a quarter left to go tsk tsk need SERIOUS editing.

My new tupperware set lol comes with matching water bottle, from dear mum


From a colleague~ Muah Chi from taiwan.. I miss taiwan food

At Beach Road


Braised egg, beancurd, salted veg and pig's ears, dont snort on it, the pig's ear is really chewy and its nutritious woh, good for your cartilage.

Swing swing!

Trying to balance lol

my boy's curly hair

some discussions

Bf Material Vs Husband Material, what's the difference?
"mentioned that there's a difference when it comes to looking for a husband compared with looking for a boyfriend.... so wat exactly is the difference? i always tot that husband material means bf material plus commitment and financial stability?"

To me there's a difference, when still dating, not as much responsibilites, no fixed liabilities still can carry out acts individually etc
When married, the wife is "inclusive" in all matters relating to both of them and the wife becomes a source of "liability/support" depending of how she decide to relate to the husband

Status Equality, Education level, Family background, Income earned and etc.
(for BOTH guys/gals)
"Does status equality still matter today u feel? As in, what if your SO's academic qualifications is lower than yours and is earning lesser than u. Will you mind if your SO is not as well-off as you? Any of you seen/heard or experienced personally, parents objecting to a r/s becos "he/she is not good enough" for you."

What do you say?

Internet, alcohol and sleep tied to girls' weight

July 24, 2008

NEW YORK - GIRLS and young women who devote much time to the Internet, get too little sleep or regularly drink alcohol are more likely than their peers to put on excess weight, a new study suggests.
The researchers, who followed more than 5,000 girls between 14 and 21 years old for 1 year, found that the more spare time girls spent on the Internet, the more their body mass index (BMI) increased.

Similar patterns were seen when the researchers looked at alcohol consumption and sleep. In the latter case, lack of sleep was linked to greater gains in BMI - a measure of weight in relation to height.

The findings, reported in The Journal of Pediatrics, add to evidence implicating each of these three habits in promoting weight gain.

The effect of each may be small, but over time the pounds can add up, according to the researchers, led by Dr Catherine S. Berkey of Brigham & Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston.

The study involved 5,036 girls and young women who were surveyed regarding the number of recreational hours per week they spent on the Internet, which ranged from 1 to 5 hours, to 16-plus hours, as well as how long they typically slept each night (anywhere from 5 hours or less, to 9 hours or more) and how much alcohol they usually drank (ranging from none to two or more drinks per week).

In general, the researchers found, as Internet use climbed, so did BMI, particularly among girls younger than 18 years old.

When it came to sleep, those who clocked 5 hours or less tended to gain more weight than those who got a standard 8 hours. And girls and women who had 2 or more alcoholic drinks per week put on more pounds than those who drank the least.

The effects over 1 year were modest, Dr Berkey's team points out. For example, a 19-year-old of average weight and height would gain 4 pounds if she were in the high-risk groups for Internet use, sleep and alcohol consumption.

However, the researchers add, over time that could translate into significant weight change.

Spending hours on the Internet likely contributes to weight gain by taking time away from physical activity, according to Dr Berkey's team.

Lack of sleep may make people too tired to be active during the day; sleep deprivation also affects hormones and metabolism in a way that might promote weight gain.

Meanwhile, alcohol contains a significant amount of calories, and research suggests that people usually don't make an adjustment for liquid calories by eating or drinking less throughout the rest of the day. -- REUTERS

cute bags

Saw some bags online and they're all so adorable!
and cheap too :)

ECO bags and Canvas bags

tempted to get an eco bag lol like those recyclable tote that you can buy from supermarkets, eco-friendly and practical.

*******

on another note, while i was queueing up for the bus last night after class, heard a group of girls(i assumed that they are full time students as they were in sports gear)commenting loudly

"so late already dunno why still so many people" and they grumbled and grumbled throughout, even on the bus. and they were a VERY NOISY BUNCH too.

well well

not everyone has such "luxury" as them.
period.

Sat
Had classes from 230-530 and before that i met up with my groupmates in school for lunch and had alittle discussion.
AND i did a very silly thing.
I forgot the bus 502 does not stop at clementi anymore and i took 502 all the way to orchard -_- before I took cab from orchard back to school for fear of being too late for the group discussion, it's not very nice to let others wait.

Dear came to fetch me after classes and we went to PS for HELLBOY~ its was good! action packed and a more humane side to hellboy heh
I saw the trailer for The mummy and the dragon emperor and also the RED CLIFF.
We wanted to watch RED CLIFF intially but the shows were all sold out when we checked the booking in the morning.
I MUST catch it next time.
Dinner was a Carl's Junior as everywhere was so packed.

Sun
Morning had Mac breakfast with dear's family then we went to Bedok reservoir to try Fly fishing and also to test dear's new lures. I read my papers too while dear was having fun lol.
It was so relaxing and peaceful and I hid under the shade to read and also to watch dear.

Dear promised that once he gets his licence we will go explore the various parks/fishing spots in Singapore lol. I am so eagerly waiting for that. BUT I wont really encourage dear to drive to Town. Its such a killer. The petrol, jams, ERP and also parking fees are exorbitant and since town is so accessible, its kinda "not worth it" to drive to town. BUT parks and other eating places are harder to reach so having a private transport will be much more advantageous.
To me that is.

We went head to Kallang for JALAN SULTAN Prawn Noodle.
*slurps*
Dear satisfied the greedy me heh.
Reached home in the afternoon and went Grandpa's place in the evening and I had fishhead curry with family for dinner. :)

I cut my fringe shorter and had a new parting too, now always need to keep sweeping to the side, my classmates said it looked better though :)


So how's it?can pass for what age? :P

kingfisher!


clear waters.. i can see the fishes woh


Jalan Sultan prawn noodles

and I got a earful from dear when I told him about my hair package.. but then its for a few sessions and I promised not to spend too much on aesthetic stuff.. eh maybe find cheaper varieties though like my 1US eyeshadows! lol
I also know I'm a naggy gf and I complain/critize easily..but its all at the spur of moment and I dont mean anything for most of the stuff
Na.. I know You dote on me :)

oh and sad to say, I have class on our 5th yr anni and also group discussions on the day after tsk tsk ..had to postpone our celebration. sigh

Pressie pressie! need to think for dear asap already

Caught in the act!

what I saw from the bed



*********
on another note, i received my new eyeshadows already
so far, its quality and its colour are the best for me, its mineral makeup btw
and the colours doesnt slide or gets smudged on my oily eyelids!

and best of it
its only 1USD each for a 5g jar

Before the Bonus is in

I already spent part of it.

Had a haircut, treatment and alittle massage, and it made me feel so good though poorer.
Signed a treatment package too.
To make myself more motivated to maintain myself, cannot lose out to those young 20s in school ah LOL

So my hopes of getting a new phone/camera is temporary put on hold.
Till the next Bonus comes in.

I am already aiming for this model .. next time
any reviews on it?

Sony Ericsson C902 Cyber-shot 5 mega pix!

Thursday night

dear came over to find me after his lessons but the poor boy is sick, suffering from flu which made him feel alittle groggy and distracted.

thanks for the efforts dear though can see you were really tired and had to sleep early.

**********
anyway I know I am being biased again.

I cant help but to NOT feel a sense of belonging to the school I am having night lessons in.
Its just a school, nothing more to me.
Not particular proud of it nor do I condemn it.
Maybe I do not spend enough time in the school.
Its a mad rush to get there on time and a relief to leave on time too.
I envy the full time students, they can have so much time, fun and recreational activities in there.
Silly me.
However I like and am glad of the people in my own class, with common goals and also common frustrations and we motivate each other along.
In the end, its the individual and the lecturers and not the school that matter.

I think its just me.
I have worked so long in my current workplace that I might have too high an expectation.
I should/must change my mindset soon.

Ganbatte!
No matter how good the school is, if I Dont work hard, the result will still be undesirable.

Debates

How Many Girls Here Are Not Materialistic And Matured In Thinking?
http://www.flowerpod.com.sg/forums/index.php?showtopic=68601&st=0

I can think of

-Define being materialistic
-Define being matured
-Define the extend
-Money is not everything YET everything is money
-Traditional gender roles vs modern gender roles

and I believe in working for materials/money beside other intangible aspects.
Most of us are working for something, aint you?
or maybe they haven heard of such things as BILLS?

Grouping

just divided ourselves into groups by drawing lots.
Sis and I were seperated.
We preferred it to be that way too.

For me, I do not like working with people I know really well, eg family or bf for work-related/study-related stuff lest we have conflicts and let it affect our relations AND it might also be kind of a distraction.
An obvious hint that I can never work in family business. I want everything to be clear.

Currently at week3.
Individual's assignment due week6.
Group's assignment due week10.
lessons 4 times a week including sat.
Reached home around 1145 last night.
Meetup this sat before class for group briefing.
Reading up journals now
and i thought i do not need to read journals after researching for my FYP's scientific references.

Hectic.

Date with dear 120708(edited)

In the Morning, I did some maintenance for Snoopi.
I brushed his teeth, cleaned his ears, clean his beard, his facial fur(again, gosh the fur grow out real fast) and also gave him a bath. I did not manage to bathe him on Friday as dad said "it was too late" ><>

Met dear in the afternoon at Fareast and we had lunch at MOGU MOGU. Its good for the novelty but not the tastebuds. It tastes "ordinary" for that price? Anyway the restaurant's decoration was kinda cute and the waitresses are in "maid uniforms" LOL

After lunch, had a walk around Fareast, did not see anythin that catches my eye.. again maybe its all cutesy if not too common.. or maybe I'm just at the wrong place HAHAHA
But I managed to get a pair of new slippers. Wanted to try the gladiator sandals but then again it looked kinda tedious to be worn and dear kept commenting that it looked ugly.
Anyway we walked around Tangs too and then finally plonked down at HIP DINER at Cineleisure for an early dinner cause we planned to go prawning at night. We shared a Seafood platter between us. The food was better as compared to Billy Bombers, fresher, less oily and the taste was better too.
It was all good BESIDE the noisy bunch of tetiary students sitting beside us OBLIVIOUS to other diners tsk tsk
Then we went Lakeside Fishing village for prawning, to finish off the 3 hours i won last week. Dear even got me a prawning rod lol and a little tackle box.

Any couples interested in a "Prawning" date? Its quite relaxing and also good time to chill and spend quality time together BESIDE the usual "Eat, movie shop" routine. You can always rent the prawning rod and the baits are given.

Now we have "prawning" in our list of activities already.
Thanks dear Muackz~

AND he kept saying he wants to "fatten me up" tsk tsk if not others will think that the bf doesnt take care of me, which is exactly the opposite, lol.
I am the one trying to maintain/lose weight while the bf is always bringing me to eat lol
Alright, maybe its just me :P

Anyway, once dear gets his licence, we will explore more places together! Cant wait heh and also we can bring Snoopi around already.

I commented to dear that I can be a boring person, staying home on a friday night or days when I am not meeting up with him, just packing stuff, self-pampering, self-read or just playing with Snoopi, he said he likes it. Not too wild and he doesnt need to worry about me. LOL
Tranquility can be good, peaceful for the mind and body.
Life's too hectic to appreciate alot of things in life, especially people/things just around us.

Barrage of photos~!

The big one was caught by me! hee


And snoopi decided to snuggle in with dear this morning.
See his beard so white already,I spent more than an hour bathing him ah ><

********

on another note, i like this girl's attitude LOL
DO you rather be

1) BIG and pretty OR
2) SMALL and ugly?

http://underage-girl.blogspot.com/

something she wrote:

I don't see ANY reason why being my size is a bad thing.

So what the hell should I be ashamed of?!

However, I still can't resist the urge but to give more reasons why being me is still so much better than being you:

1) Much as you'd like to think that I am F.A.T, my weight is still PERFECT for my height.

Try hoping one day you'll be as tall as 1.7m & above, midgets,

and let's see whether weighing 50+kg is so much of a surprise to you then.

If you're gonna be like all, "Hey I'm 1.7m too but only 42kg haha you're still fat" then forget it babe, looking malnourished / anorexic is nowhere better than looking "Fat"

2) Even IF I AM fat, at least I am at least DECENT LOOKING.

...Which I suspect most of the spammers are not.

I'd much rather be fat but pretty than have a good figure with a fucked up face, simply because:

...I can diet and exercise to look "less fat".

You need plastic surgery, cuz even make up won't make you pretty.

The reason for my "Fatness" is possibly my over-indulgence in good food. It goes to show I am pampered. (not denying some laziness!)

The reason for your "Ugliness" is possibly bad genes. It goes to show how suay you are.

If a guy wants a pretty girlfriend, he wants something beautiful to look at.
If a guy wants a girl with a good figure, he wants something good to fuck

This is what most Singaporean GUYS would say:

Waa... chio bu!!!! So beautiful, girl of my dreams!

..and..

Waa... dua neh bu!! Firm ass, I want to fuck her!!!


This is what most Singaporean GIRLS would say:


Omg, I wish I can be as gorgeous as her!! She is so damn lucky!! (something she knows she's not)

....and...

Omg, I wish I can have such a hot body like hers! I must exercise and tone up to be like her. (something she knows she can become if she goes to the gym often enough)

"She's very pretty, but her figure's not good, she needs to slim down more.."

"She's got a very good figure, too bad her face just cannot make it

And the list goes on & on.
Honestly, which sounds better to you?

To end my post, I am expecting this comment: "Don't be so proud, you're not as pretty as you think

I may not be drop dead gorgeous,

but unless any of you can ***PROVE***

that ***YOU*** are indeed

***BETTER LOOKING THAN ME***,

....just piss off.

Thinking of bringing Snoopi there to socialise and also for a good cause :)

On a fri night

and this is what snoopi did



and he hid underneath the chair when he saw me

blur me forgot to attach the documents and need to REregister for his licence.
Pay's coming in and i am gonna, finally, get my new Memory card to store all my pics
maybe... i might just get a camera for myself

and MUST buy new shoes.. have been wearing the same pair of pumps till the soles came off and i have to use super glue twice? LOL
I am sensitive to buying shoes cause MOST bite me. BADLY.

Now to do my mask and personal self pampering.
its not that bad to be at home on a friday, far from the maddening crowd.
