Wedding
Here are some pics of KaiLin (Bob the Builder), Dennis Fung Kwat Tat and Shilly. By the way.. here's something random: Can you say this sentence repeatedly for ten times quickly?- Silly Shilly steals six sissy sheeps. Not easy right? lol Anyways the four of us finally met up on the day before Shilly and I started working cos it's been really difficult for the four of us to meet up before the holidays.
Den the man
 Bob the Builder aka Hurricane Katrina
Shilly aka Loo Loo
Ok, you should know who they are by now
 I woke up at the crack of dawn this morn cos it was my cousin's wedding!! It was not the actual banquet and was more of like a traditional ceremony.. where the married couple would have to serve tea to their elders and receive an ang pow in return. As my cousin's the first to get married in his family, my first aunt was really frantic and was constantly fussing over every single thing.. haha. It was quite funny to watch actually. Like when I was helping her touch up her make up she kept fidgeting and asking "xin niang lai le mei you ( is the bride here yet?)" and when the bride and bridegroom served her tea I think her eyes were like red though she kept insisting that it was the dust. Lol. The bride's gown is really nice!! Alright actually I think most wedding gowns are nice.. white as snow with a puffy skirt that gives the illusion of a narrow waist.. and a long white piece of cloth trailing after the gown. Sigh. Unless you're still wearing this gown in this era then I really have no idea what to say. Lol.  Looking at how frenzied and harrassed my aunt was while going over the details of the wedding made me wonder why would such a romantic event turn out to be so troublesome. For instance, planning a wedding invloves writing out the guest list (half of which I bet usually aren't even the wedding couple's friends), giving out invitations, organising the banquet, deciding on which dishes to serve the guests at the banquet.. etc etc. Such a hassle! When it's my turn to wed, I would like my wedding to be just a simple and quiet affair. I'm not gonna invite my parents' friend or any relatives that don't even bother keeping in touch. Just my own family, a few close relatives and my friends. That's about it. No reservations for a hundred tables for the banquet and no making small talks with strangers I don't even know exist on my wedding night =) AND DEFINITELY NO SERVING OF SHARK'S FIN FOR GOODNESS SAKE! (though they are undeniably delicious and all, but it's just really cruel! The way their fins are being sliced off and their bodies thrown back into the sea. )And of course the highlight would be walking down the aisle with my dad in a church. haha. It would be best if my fiance were to whisk me away so that we could get married in some beautiful church in Italy. Hmm.. sounds like a fairy tale wedding but well, a girl can dream.

My First Day
If my legs could talk.. I bet they would be protesting vehemently. My legs (squealing and flailing their non-existent arms): Let us rest!! We demand you to sit down at once!! Stop exerting your mammoth-like weight on us and quit crushing our ten little brother toes!!I have absolutely forgotten how tiring it can get by just standing for hours at a go. My legs weren't that tired to tell the truth.. but it's my back and my stomach that's killing me!! Ok I have no idea how come my stomach would hurt but my back was like.. I can't describe. It sort of feels like Moses Lim or Ruben ( from season 2 American Idol) is sitting on my shoulders. Gosh! I felt pretty lost and awkaward initially, not knowing what I should do, where I should stand and how to go about attending to customers. But after a while it's sort of feels like I've never left G2000 at all as the trainings I received from there started kicking in. Haha. I guess my only problems are not being able to find the stocks in the utterly messy store room and not being familiar with where the clothes are being hung. Other than that.. everything was pretty smooth and my colleagues were friendly too =) However I left work at 8pm which was like 2 hours earlier than the time I was supposed to knock off (and on my first day some more!) cos ZY messaged to inform that Andy's dad had just passed away. So I attended the wake and I am pretty worried about Andy though he appears to be fine as it could all just be a facade. Anyways I really hope that Andy will be alright. Jia you Mr I-got-sars!! Okk.. I'm gonna turn in now as I still have to work tomorrow =( Yeah I think after work tomorrow I might be able to experience an out-of-body experience cos my legs are gonna detach themselves. HAHA. Not funny.

Club Marc.. Here I Come!!
I hate walking back to my hostel alone, trudging up the deserted road.. when all of a sudden, a gust of chilling wind sweeps across my face! Hairs (I've got a lot of that) standing on ends and heart pounding frantically, I whipped around and * GASPS*!! I saw.... nothing because I am just being dramatic. Haha. Nothing happened la.. I just don't like to walk from the bus stop back to PGP at night.. like just now for instance. But thank God a guy who boarded the same bus as me is also staying at PGP and thus I decided to tail him closely. But he was walking really fast.. like he wanted to shake me off or something. Why.. think I'm gonna eat you up is it? COME TO MAMA!! -_- ok I'm being rather lame here. lol. Anyways anyways.. just rewind to this morning when I received a call from Club Marc!! YES! And so I went down for interview and asked Lien and Shilly along. In the end.. the three of us got the job=) Yipee. One drawback is that the pay sucks. $5/hr and that is even more pathetic than the time when I was working at G2000 ok? It's like I'll have to work for two hours to be able to top up my ez-link card. Damn. As we are actually part-timers, we only had to commit for fri, sat and sun. from 12pm to 10pm. In all.. I can only earn $510/mth. Aiya about there la. Pay's pathetic can. Sigh. But I guess beggars can't be choosers as I think I really need to get a job as my dad's been bugging me. I was posted to.. VIVO!! Lien will be at Central while Shilly, Marina Square. And so.. we'll be starting work on this fri!! Eeps.. I'm a little nervous actually, with meeting my new colleagues. We were also given two sets of Club Marc tee which is our uniform, and a cool-looking name tag. Club Marc uni. Please ignore the hideous bed sheet.
 I thought the uniform wasn't very nice, especially with the purple tiger print. Apparently Shilly said that it's the Club Marc logo and Lien then commented that when we put on the tee, the tiger will look as if it's chewing on our.. erm.. you-know-wad.. our humps. Haha. Name tag
 I took the wrong name tag home.. but yeah. The tag looks professional hor? Haha. We are now stylists! Sounds impressive but it's all bull. Style what style. According to the person who called me up for the interview, our job is mainly to station ourselves at the fitting room to hang clothes back to the racks. Please give us a round of applause *clap clap* The three of us went to marina square to check out Shilly's new workplace and her new colleagues! She then left for yoga and after that Lien and I just roamed around Clark Quay as neither of us felt like going back yet. I don't know how we managed to pass our time but we sat down by the river and just yakked for hours until it was 11 plus. Man.. this is bad. I am pretty sure that I will be very aunty when I'm old =X (In a very aunty and nasal voice: Eh boy ar!! Stop playing the com lah!! You want me to whack your head is it?! Everyday play play play. Go and study!!) -this is the fate of my future son. Haha    Ok folks.. that's all. Saya mau tidur- that's I want to sleep in Bahasa Indo!! Bye bye and makan tahi!! hahaha

There is no stupid title. Bestie shilly has just returned from Taiwan and we had just met up.. after like ages. Man.. seeing her today just reminded me of how much I've missed her.. the sound of her laughter and the way we used to talk for hours (man.. I think we have the makings of those aunty who can gossip for hours without drawing breath. Eeeps). Haha.. all in all, I am really happy to see her again. To compound to my happiness, she bought presents back from Taiwan for us.. thanks so much shilly.. if you're reading this=) 3 pairs of awesome lashes.. I love them!! A box of condoms.. ahem I mean chocs
Face masks!! Brilliant!! And a really awesome comb that looks like it's from anna sui  A really pretty hair clip.. hope it's be able to support my mane of a hair! lol And to shilly- I know you loathe blog entries that sound pretentiously happy.. haha. But I really am glad to meet up with you. As for your blog's "would you rather" section.. my answer to that is that I would rather talk like Yoda for the rest of my life than breathe like Darth Vader. I mean.. hello.. breathing so loudly is utterly annoying can? It's like you didn't dig your nose for a decade and there's a blob of hardened pee-sai the size of a golf ball being stuck in your nose, blocking your air passage, so that only a fraction of air is able to pass thru and make that wheezing sound. Haha. Anyway I've always thought that Darth Vader sounded like an asthma patient. Haha. Sounding like Yoda (I dunno how to describe his voice.. but he sounds like a sissy who has choked on a fishball), isn't any better too. But at least if you keep your mouth shut, no one will laugh at your voice. Conversely, Darth Vader has to breathe. And it's not really that bad to sound like Yoda cos if Hollywood ever needs people with weird voices-like the gollum in Lord Of the Rings, you can always go. Haha. Ok la.. I would love to go KTV with someone who sounds like Yoda lor. I bet that would be a blast man.

On Cloud Nine
Whee~ I am on Cloud Nine!! Hee hee. Went out with him and just got back =))  He picked me up at my hostel and we were supposed to eat at Botak Jones. But as a result of my abysmal sense of direction, we couldn't seem to be able locate the place and had to go IMM instead. Hmm.. so we dined at Fish & Co. (his treat) and I felt pretty bad that he had to pay. And so.. we talked over dinner.. the usual stuff.. yadda yadda. I was feeling pretty nervous to be hungry and wasn't really paying much attention to the food. After dinner we just walked around IMM as he wanted to get an MP3 player. He kept asking if I was bored as we were like looking at guys stuff.. MP3s, laptop.. blah and other gadgets.. and I said no of course. After that we didn't know where to go (as I told him that I don't wanna go back to my hostel yet) and in the end we went to West Coast Park and just walked around.. enjoyed the sea breeze and talked. Hmm.. I think that he's pretty easy to talk to and I guess I was worried for nothing. Cos before meeting him I was a nervous wreck as I was worried that I won't know what to say to him and that he might find me a bore. Apparently the conversation just flowed. When we both felt tired he then drove me back and on the way I just closed my eyes to rest but he misread my actions and thought that I was feeling bored. In fact I think he thought I was pretty bored the whole time!! Eeps. I guess it's just my face.. I can't help it if I look like that!! I wonder if he'll also start thinking that I am giving the I-am-not-interested vibes.. cos when I told sin yan that he asked me out.. she said that my reply to him sounded rather dull.. like I wasn't excited or interested to have dinner with him. Hmm.. I guess it's just a habit of mine to act in that way. Perhaps I shall try not to hide my feelings too much. Yawn.. I am really tired now. Guess I shall just end here. I know I know.. entry today sucks big time cos it's all abt my outing and nothing else. Hehe. Too bad then. Anyways he said that he wanted to drive us both to jb to shop around.. hope he meant it =) I am feeling so unsure of myself. That sucks!

Henderson Wave
Met up Lien today and we went to vivo to job hunt again. I wanted to work in the Club Marc at vivo and Lien said she won't mind taking up a retail job. I guess it's because I kept droning on about my stint at G2000 last year which convinced her that retail jobs are fun. Hehe. Anyways, we filled up application forms at Club Marc (please let me get that job *cross my fingers*), Pull and Bear.. we even tried River Island. I guess we both wanted to work in places that sell awesomes clothes so that we might be able to put our staff discount to good use (if we manage to get the job=)). The both of us were rather embarrassed to just merely stroll into the shop and outrightly ask if there are any jobs available. We'd appear to be so desperate for jobs. So Lien and I had a strategy- we walked into the shops nonchalantly and just lingered around the cashier area, pretending to busy ourselves with browsing thru the items.. (while Lien was like hissing under her breath about whose turn it was to ask the person-in-charge if they're hiring). After job hunting we were starved and had our dinner and we then went to back to my hostel to dump my stuffs and change. Lieny had fun with posing for my eyes only in the room. Hehe.
Attack of the hanger and iron!
Trying to squeeze my head thru a hanger
Check out her orgasmic expression.. lol We then headed out to Henderson Wave after that. I went there once with Sin Yan and she told me that there'll be lights on the bridge at night and so I wanted to check it out. We reached there pretty late.. around 9 plus I think, as we took the wrong bus. I think I sort of freaked out again while we were crossing the Henderson Wave bridge cos it was so high up plus the bridge is made of WOOD!! Wood ok? It doesn't even feel safe.. Well, it seems like if wood can make a strong enough structure, then the big bad wolf would then not be able to blow the little pig's house down. Apparently the architects don't learn from fairy tales. haha ok I'm digressing. Oh ya.. I could even see between the planks. Can look thru the gap and see.. eeps!! See the road with the cars streaming by below.. that was scary enough to make my legs go jelly. I think I was like hyperventilating a little.. and my neck was like straining to look upwards so I don't have to look between the gaps. AND THE PERSON WHO CLAIMED TO BE MY FRIEND WAS LAUGHING AT ME!! Stupid Lien. Haha. But.. I've gotta say.. the lightings on the bridger were so pretty!! It's was pretty romantic =) Taken at Henderson Wave   Awesome lightings! Well, after crossing the Henderson Wave bridge we proceeded to the tree top walk. Before reaching the tree top walk we had to walk this strech of road which was really creepy. It's just like a normal road.. but we were pretty much surrounded by trees... and it was like 10 plus already. I was absoultely terrified (of meeitng ghosts) and I could tell that Lien was pretty creeped out too. We then held hands and decided to mask our fear by singing. Yeah lo.. we sang the Swiss Cottage school song.. a couple of Westlife songs. But while singing I could suddenly smell this fragrance.. smells kinda like a sort of flower or something. I think Lien could also smell it cosI was like gripping her hand rather tightly and she squeezed my hand back. Eeps. I later told kailin about this and she reckoned that it was a pontianak that was really close to us. Man that is just so freaking scary!! Just typing out this part give me the creeps (and my heart's pounding like mad again). Ok.. you can just roll your eyes and think that I am being superstitious.. hmm. I also don't really know what to believe in, but I can say that this is the second time I've felt this scared. The first was during the scamp fright night. Eeeeks. I can say that I am never walking there at night again unless it's with a group of friends.

The Grey Space
I have no idea what to think.. or what he's thinking. I hate being in the grey area. Show me if it's black or white, hot or cold, yes or no. Anything's better than swirling around in this grey and murky space.

The Swan Flu
It's been eons since I last blogged and I guess it's really time to update on my beloved and yet stagnant blog. And yes Shilly, this blog shall be revived! lol I am thoroughly bored at being stuck in M'sia right now due to the fact that I have been plagued by the Swan Flu. Yes you didn't read wrongly, the Swan Flu. Symptoms of the Swan Flu are pretty similar to that of the Swine Flu (the usual sneezing and coughing), and the only difference is that only a girl of the purest and kindest of hearts will be plagued by such an unfortunate illness- the Swan Flu. As such, I am having a bad cold and my voice keeps cracking up whenever I speak, causing me to sound like a toad * Croak Croak*. However, such symptoms only attest to the fact that I am one girl of pure heart and mind *flutters my lashes*. Haha. Alright, I shall stop crapping and get on down to business. As a result of the fact that I can't seem to stop sneezing (I think my poor nose nearly got blasted off my face) and that I sound pretty much like a man, I can't go out today! I am feeling really pissed alright, as I was supposed to meet up with Hurrican Katrina aka Bobby aka Kai Lin and Dennis and perhaps Weiqi (who has been feeling so down lately. cheer up!). In the end I had to msg Bobby to let her know that I can't go cos I was pretty scared that I might be halted by those temp-taking officers at Singapore custom and be carted off to be quarantined =X. Here's a possible scenario that could happen should I be adamant about going to S'pore: A long-haired girl with an awfully red nose (that would be me) alights at the Singapore checkpoint and walks thru the temperaHahture-detecting machine. As her slim body frame (coughs hysterically) passes thru the detectors, a resounding alarm was emmited from the machine.
Officer (wearking a Darth Vader look-alike mask- shrieks, pointing a finger at me): Stop her! Her temperature is way too high!!
Me (flicks my long hair and batts my lashes seductively at the officer): That, officer, is because I'm naturally hot!
Officer (feeling dazed as a result of my flirting): Oh yeah baby.. yeah!!
Haha.. I guess my imagination is running wild. Yup. fortunately I won't be stuck here for long as I'll be back on thurs=) Will be meeing lien and on fri, meeting Bobby and gang again. I've missed them.
Hours ago I was feeling pretty lousy but after talking to him on msn, I can't help feeling uplifted =) Hmm.. he said he might be coming to M'sia this weekend and asked me along and a few days ago, he said to let me know when I'm in S'pore so that he can ask me out. Oh man oh man I dunno what to make of al this? I was never really good at all the strip-down-their-sentences-word-by-word-to-decipher-the-actual-meaning-behind-each-word or the when-guys-say-yes-they-mean-no or vice versa kind of stuff. Hmm... I guess I shan't put much stock into what he says much less it doesn't mean much. Alright folks.. some random photos of Sin Yan and I before I sleep. One of our outings..
 That would be me pretending that I'm in America's next top model.lol
 Yan Yan and I! Trying to act emo but failed miserably  Sin Yan and her erm.. gorgeous and long legs. lolI am pleasantly surprised that Sin Yan and I are pretty close now as I would have never imagined us to be that close. I guess much of it is cos I feel that she's changed pretty much and she's a real great friend now=)
