greetings =) the yuletide season is upon us all and my holiday, as usual, was filled with warmth and fuzz. i think the ass-lot (i think it makes sense) number of pictures that follow testify.













and that's me drunk.

no, those are sparkling juices. my sister thought it'd be funny if i posed like that.

so best gifts this year were (not in order): the Guess bag up there ^ (my sweet aunty strikes 4D first price and buys me a Guess bag), this Lomography Actionsampler Flash camera that Alvin got me. I LOVE IT. and him. =) *kissyoulikesomanylikeyeah



and thank nature for space and all it's glorious wonder



oh and that reminds me; i give thanks to my wonderful DSLR that let me see the craters on the moon.

=)

Happy Christmas, all!

Tuesday

thinking about what to do with so much free time can be tiring. but then there are days when we go to Ikea and eat nice chicken leg. and get attracted to... uh, sexy bulbs.



apparently someone didn't get the OTHER message.


oh yah.

before, my hatred for Crocs was... how should i say this... absolute? i always thought they were the ugliest shit people could put on their feet.

until i got into these:


shut up, i think they are so cute. and if you put your feet in and can honestly tell me that you've worn more comfortable shoes, God will smite you for lying.

so to the people who stared VERY hard at my shoes, !@#$ YOU, THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY SHOES!

=)

Season's Greetings!

Home

Singapore has really pretty images if you look closely. it's a shame i'm lazy to bring my DSLR everywhere i go. so it's my trusty 3meg phone camera to the reskew.

EXAMS ARE OVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

you know what.

if you can, get your hands on the Victoria's Secret fashion show. this year's show is A-W-E-S-O-M-E. actually you MUST. cos channel 5 is probably gonna show it like next year.

on a random note -

people in Singapore should learn how to drive properly.

i.e. me.

OK BUT OTHERS TOO.

i have been driving to school everyday for the whole week and i still have trouble remembering the route. today i almost made 2 wrong turns and that prompted my dad to go "AIYO GIRL!! your road sense ah..." in a VERY LOUD voice.

and no. 1 rule on the road: NEVER exclaim loudly when someone else is driving.

i think i need to get those GPS thingies installed in my car.

Bittersweet

this week has been... well like my title suggests. good side: i passed my TP test on wednesday and have been driving to and from town (which, btw, is freaky place to drive at night) and my parking is very slowly but surely improving. bad side though, would be that sinking feeling that has resided in the pit of my stomach... cos exams are next week. ok not NEXT WEEK... in 3 days.

i've pretty much covered majority of my work but it still feels like i didnt get anything in at all. you know you know? maybe cos this week has been pretty crazy. before wednesday was the WORST. i think i have anxiety issues. it really ruins me sometimes. hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. but actually not really that funny.

anyway i should hit the books. hopefully next week'll be better.

8016A

and the 'YOU CAN DRIVE WHILE AWAITING THE DELIVERY OF YOUR PHOTOCARD DRIVING LICENSE' receipt is like sex on paper.

The singing bow.

so. i've done a lil research here and there, talked to a couple of music shop owners and have decided to take up violin. i was just inspired one day and i've made up my mind to learn it. YEAH CMON MAN, CMON.

pretty excited about it, really. and i think i've passed the stage of desperately needing someone else to join me when doing new things like that; and it's... enriching. YEAH CMON.

GAWDDAMMIT IT'S ONE HELLUVA SAUNA DAY.

A NEW POST, ZOMGROFLCOPTERBBQSAUCEPWNEDANDSOMEMOREWEIRDTHINGSTHATTHEYSAYINTHISINTERNETSLANGTHINGIDONTREALLYGETITBUTIGUESSITSFUNNYSOMAYBEEVERYONESHOULDTALKLIKETHATSHOULDNTTHEYLAWLLOL

all in a day.

the passing of recent events has led me to realise that i'm really not fit to be a 19 year old. apparently i suck at handling problems and all i do is cry about it. Cameron Crowe was right; being sad IS always easier because it's surrender. and it seems like all i've been doing lately is surrendering. yes, i like to cry.

and the result? i get nothing done. i've been going round and round in circles and have been burning people in the ring of fire along the way. i tend to let my emotions get the better of me and people REALLY hate that, i know.

ok the drama queen should stop talking now.

but to you, i AM sorry. i love you.

I'm back to harp on it.

SUCH a pity UB-SIM doesn't share everything with the UB in New York.

you know, life always finds a way to slap you in the face.

Wonderful melancholy

I am so very hooked on Travis' Closer. i think the last 2 days have seen me replaying the song about 84765739067 times.

so i took a day off from school today (insert Jeremy grumbling 'please lah, you do it all the time' here) as i was down with fever and a bad-ass sore throat. was at my sister's place all day vegetating in front of the tv.

she has the movie channels.

anyway, 'Elizabethtown' was on HBO in the morning and it reminded me that i used to love this show so much. and today i realised i still do. haha. i love movies that make you cry and feel all warm and fuzzy inside at the end. 'Elizabethtown' is based on a true story and that certainly made it more endearing.

one particular line from the show that stuck was the one Kirsten Dunst said to Orlando Bloom: Sadness is always easier because it's surrender.

and you know what. that cannot be more true. often we wallow in self-pity and feel depress because we WANT to. it's just easier when you give in. feeling sad for too long makes it a wasted emotion.

everyone should watch the show. it's beautiful.

Death of the better part of Thursday.

Hello, Misery. you've become an old friend. yes brought along the rest of your minions, i see. Stress, Worry and Helplessness.

please.

can you all

GO
AWAY.

Sunday

Air brushing is an amazing thing.

observe:

THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON.

you know. Peter Crouch was is never an incentive to watch Liverpool matches. so... what's up with the book cover?! he actually looks good there. this is too strange.

anyway. there's always Fernando Torres for the sore eyes.

oh and on a random note: I absolutely LOVE Miami Ink. i actually make that extra effort to watch it everyday. and from now on, i'll never judge anyone with a tattoo again. well. unless it's some ah beng with a dragon and some koi. but there's always a story under all that ink. i told my sister that if we're ever in Miami, i'm getting a tattoo.

i wanna go to Miami.

Post 102

the previous post was the 101th, i saw wrongly! zohmygod i've been CHEATED.

anyway,


yay!



i figured i'd never find a phone that'll fit the look of my room at my sister's place.

solution: buy a 'blank' phone and add dots. polka dot dots!
side effects: after breathing in so much of
and the xylene it contains, you'll feel disoriented and slightly nauseous.

neighhh.

yay this is my 100th post!

Yum.

Ale - swink says:

Dentist claims breast rubs appropriate

WOODLAND, Calif. - A dentist accused of fondling the breasts of 27 female patients is trying to keep his dental license by arguing that chest massages are an appropriate procedure in certain cases. Mark Anderson's lawyer says dental journals discuss the need to massage the pectoral muscles to treat a common jaw problem.

Police say Anderson said during recorded phone calls that he routinely massaged patients' chests to treat temporo-mandibular joint disorder, or TMJ, which causes neck and head pain.

Attorney Robert Zaro told administrative law judge Jonathan Lew at a hearing Thursday that he should let Anderson keep his dental license while disciplinary appeals proceed. Anderson would be supervised by two assistants and would no longer do the chest rubs, Zaro said.

Zaro said Anderson, 48, of Woodland, needs to keep seeing patients so he can feed his seven children and pay for his defense.

The judge made no immediate decision.

Lew suspended Anderson's dental license last month. He was charged with two misdemeanor counts of battery and sexual battery. Yolo County prosecutors are investigating complaints from more than two dozen women who say they also were groped in the examining chair in the last five years.

Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Phillips gave Lew three new complaints, including one from a 31-year-old woman who said Anderson fondled her at least six times over two years.

She took to wearing tight shirts with high necklines, "and Anderson would still get in under her shirt and bra," according to a police report.

ABSURD!!! !@#$%^%$#@ some men are really asking for a good hard knee in their jewels. such audacity.

Fluff

you know what. i am not ready to believe that no hairdresser in Singapore can make my hair look like so:



or



the results of my perm before were kinda a nightmare and i dont know if i should trust a hairdresser with the curling device again. does ANYONE know where there are hairdressers who'd actually LISTEN to you when you say you only want a body perm?

oh and. Alessandra Ambrosio = goddess.

Wednesday's child.

And everything was different today
The sun was bright but the sky was grey
Day was hesitant and how she cried.

And all afternoon it was quiet.

Picture post!

My sister had a bbq yesterday at her place. some sort of house warming thing. i think. haha. anyway...

my auntie made donuts!

the house.

Grr.

my computer science teacher is ridiculous. a bunch of us spent a long while after school today figuring out some excel 'IF' function thing. he's ridiculous cos he never taught us how to do it. and our quiz today. RARRRRRR HE NEVER TAUGHT THOSE THINGS THAT WERE TESTED TODAY EITHER. good lord, everyone resorted to tikam-ing. some were lucky with 20/25, while many like me had 13. stupid.

today has kinda been a moody day. i woke up late for school and missed my English class. and you know, lugging a heavy bag all the way from s'goon to clementi is NOT FUN.

and 'Family Guy' has been keeping me alive. i love Stewie.

anyway, i made this. looks a lil sluggish from here, but at least i had people thinking i bought it. hee. let me gloat once in a while lah, ok:


HAHA

he is what!

Happy 14 months and every tomorrow.

in my life, i've done a multitude of things that i should have been whacked for. i dont want to elaborate. it makes me ill just thinking about them.

but allowing you in my life is one of the few things i've done right.

i cannot be more grateful that i have someone who never fails to put in every ounce of effort to make sure everything turns out beautifully for me. i love you from the top of your head right down to your tippy-square toes.

Trouble in Paradise.

this past year or so have been a real rollercoaster ride. the ups and downs were really extreme and it has been really hard to retain composure.

everything that has been going on vary from very-happy moments, to very i-wanna-tear-my-heart-out moments. i found someone whom i love and am very happy to be with, got liberated from IT, got into the course that i wanted in SIM, my auntie passing away, my sister getting a new house and moving out soon, my other auntie being diagnosed with breast cancer, failing my driving practical yesterday and other unfortunate things that i dont even want to begin talking about.

just the other night, i saw a meteor. yes, i was in Singapore and no, i was not hallucinating. i dont know how many other people saw it but i reckon it was some sort of a sign. i mean how often to you take glances at the night sky. and i saw it in a gap in between buildings. it streaked it's pink/white colour across the sky for about a second and then extinguished itself.

i was so ready to believe that it was a 'good luck shooting star' when i saw it. people say it can go either way, see. ha, i dont think it was now.

Prime

i think Brad Pitt passed his prime in the looks department. the movie 'Thelma and Louise' was eons ago, and i really dont think he'll look this good again.



hubbahubba.

40

my mom's so cool. she looks nothing like 56.



woohoo, go mom!

Insane.

that gaming convention at suntec was insanely ridiculous today. why the hell was i even there, you ask. cos i dont think it's loser to check out Wii games. hahaha.

that thing is only worth going to cos of Nintendo.



it was like they dug up a time capsule. haha.

the rest of the people there are really in need of a life. there was this counter strike competition going on, and when this guy won, he would scream with glee. like really WHOOPING. almost maniacal, considering that it was JUST a game that required nothing but wrist muscle. you imagine someone scoring a touch down at a football game. and then his ah beng minions join in too.

and dont EVEN get me started on the stupid costume-y girls there. i'm not going there. no no no! (stick to the stuff you knowww-ohhh)

boo too the gaming convention on the whole.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: eh. how come you bring your file out today?
Alvin: oh i want to keep my bag in shape. if i dont put a file in, my bag looks very nuah.
Me: WAH LAO!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HAHA.

Morale booster.

you know on some days... you just feel like you're inferior to everyone else, feeling stupid and all. you know, your REALLY low days. if you're experiencing that today, here's a tip.

watch this:


feeling better yet?

Number 1 health hazard.

ok like, i've decided to like, take away what i said earlier. because uh, it's kinda mean. i mean, she is after all, like, blonde.

I will remember.

first and foremost, thanks Joyce for recording my music group's skit. =D

second of all, we kicked ass that day. =))))))))) so much preparation went into that tiny time span of 12 minutes but it was a great day. we scored the highest and thanks to that, i was able to pass my music module. HAHA! it's been so long. last semester actually, but still mind-numbingly hilarious nonethless.

anyhooo. psychology quiz 1 is tmr and i gotta hit the books. BAM! hahasofunny.

ok later!

Cats and dogs.

my feet almost drowned today. damn the rain was coming down hard! but Fish and Co. lunch made up for the soggy day.

my driving test'll be on 21st September and i doubt i'll pass it. why? cos my last lesson is tonight. i cant book anymore. CDC has too many damn students.

anyway, i'm gonna cat-nap.

Today

i am pretty inconsistent with blogging. well cos i'm lazy, what other reason is there.

anyway, my read-ahead-of-class plan started today. i still have a week till school commences, but i figured i better start now or i'll never get to it. besides, i have my 'motivation generator'. seeing Alvin study flips a switch on in me. study dates might just work.

and Fall semester's books are ASS-HEAVY. good lord, what are they doing to us? and i've got some computer science module that has some programming shit. can i EVER run away from that? it's becoming like a freaking recurring nightmare. ok but no. nothing's worse than studying for a diploma in IT. pure IT, is pure shit. wow, hate for IT revisited! this is fun.

on an entirely different note, are the clothes out there getting bigger or am i shrinking? god, i tried on an XS skirt today and it slipped a mile off my hips. it's really depressing.

on the bright side, i took advantage of germy's knowledge on how to put on weight. so yes, thanks for the tips denim boy, i hope it works. not to get FAT lah, but well, to fill out clothes properly.

ok so i'm gonna watch One Tree Hill now. god i'm such a junkie.

And today.

grr. the holidays are a little mundane, and a little part of me is actually urging to go back to school. it's always like that, isn't it. when you're working your ass off at school, you crave the holidays. and when you have had enough, you wanna go back. and then it starts again.

i'm gonna outdo myself this semester. well, not laughing and drawing on tables so much in class with my partner in crime (you know who you are) anymore will be a start. read ahead. and actually DO IT this time.

anyway it's getting late.

so yeah.

He is GOD.

the new Vai CD is insane beyond insanity. Z.O.M.G. no i am not exaggerating. he collaborates with an orchestra and. well. i cant find a word good enough. no word can justify just how good the album is.

and he's touring the US:


just in case you didn't know, i'm a Univ. at Buffalo student. but in SIM.

you know the so near yet so-many-thousand-freaking-miles far thing? yeah ok.

poof!

we got bored at my sister's place just now so we decided to do something unforgivably lame.

anyway,



my sister's expression is priceless.

Rar!

Meet Tiger.





he is Alvin and Felicia's cat. he's 'Tiger' cos of the prints on his front legs and head. although he likes to follow strangers sometimes and only hangs around the void deck opposite my house and does not respond to the name Tiger, he still rubs himself/herself (haven't really checked, you know) on Alvin's legs, weaving in and out between his ankles. he makes this cute gagging noise to replace 'meows' sometimes and has lovely luminous eyes.

prrr.

S.O.S

EXAMS
ARE
NEXT
WEEK.

HELP.

Opened dam.

i am one emotional person. either that or i just have an unusually large amount of tear ducts. but here's a great piece of advice. crying releases ill emotions. so don't hold back when you know you know you've got some boo-hoos in you.

so i missed school today on account of my damn flu. i knew that if i went, the insanely strong air-cons in school would turn my nose into a running tap. i decided not to take that chance.

jeez i dunno why i bothered to start blogging anyway, since i don't really have the mood for it.

anyway, ending on an ambiguous note, sometimes bad things have to happen in order for you to do a little soul searching. the past 3 days have been a little turbulent but it shook everything into perspective, so to speak. and i am grateful for YOU - you, who held your composure, and making me appreciate you more than ever.

24

HAPPY
ONE
YEAR,
ALVIN THAM YONG YAO.

I, my dear, am one hell of a lucky girl to be your girlfriend. i love you sooooo.

*KISS!

It's NOT a Friday!!

everytime i have an english lesson, i'll always come home with a tale of some sort to tell. haha. ESL class today was, as Will defined it, NC16. actually i thought it was leaning a little into M18. damn, the things we talk about in class. i must say that this is one enjoyable class. one prominent reason why school's fun.

and thanks for the riddde today, Germy! your Subaru smells awesome. HAHA. and you have to stop being so kan-chiong. it scares the shit out me. haha. more on-the-way ridez for Zoyce and i to Cremetee, yayz. =D

oh and other than the 2 incidents mentioned above, my day SUCKED.

it was very chilly, i was hungry, i was SO SLEEPY and i f@#ked (when i curse like that it means i'm REALLY PISSED) up my test. these particular combination of factors are not to be compromised really.

but dad's dinner made my day. it was just noodles actually. but the soup was eggy x2, soft veggy, lots of onion rings, and ikea meatballs on the side. =D it REALLY made me happy. =D

All kinds.

rahhh. grumpy night. anyyyyywaaay.

it was fun with you guys tonight!


this was the only good picture. and persons missing were: Lena, Ant, Jenny. =(

Char i miss your lameness. and yeah lah sometimes its good to work at the info counter i guess. HAHA!

Sze. i hope your issue clears soon! haha! kick the wuss' ass.

anyhooo.

COM101 presentation is tmr. and i KNOW i'm gonna go there and talk rubbish in broken sentences, like i do when i'm nervous. but i guess it's a bittersweet feeling cos the work's finally done.

and to celebrate,


Starscream wanted to show his might.

and some more random pictures,


i guess Will's hand on top was what was about to kill Kenny.

and look what some asswipe did to my to-be car:



likezomgz. some 21 year old dude and his girlfriend were apologising profusely cos he's dad will be back from overseas in 3 days and he CANNOT find out. so funny.

but still!! FEDUP.

oh and! we did filming for our music assignment today. i was forced to be 1/2 of the Bimbotic Duo auditioning for the dance floor at an Idol audition. yeah. god. i think the entire throw-face video will be posted on youtube. cos my group leader is... well, my group leader.

ok i digressed. i was supposed to do some of next week's homework.
