i was cutting the tag off my spanking new PINK Puma jacket... YES! you heard me right... PINK! to think i said i'm not a pink person... back to the tag... it was ultra funny... in a haa-haa way... so i took pictures of it to share with everyone... the wise words from the good people of Puma...  what seemed to be like the usual laundry instructions... really isnt... it told me to, LOVE MY NEIGHBOUR yes i do... i lub Diana bery much... EAT MORE GREENS yes, yes! just so i will stop constipating for days on end... CHEER UP if only ME modules werent so hard... and i din have a 20 page essay to write... WASH MY JACKET WHEN DIRTY i like dirty jackets...  Puma Helps-You-Look-Good! i like... coz i need all the help i can get...  This jacket is suitable for, STANDING AT A BUS STOP yes yes! NUS shuttle buses' schedule very erratic... WHATEVER lectures and tutorials can?  erm... what does it mean when the guy says it looks big on me? you say i fat? you trying to imply that i'm fat? btw... i lost a couple of kilos since the last time the guy forced me onto his weighing scales... i was reluctant coz i thought he wanted to sell me off for meat... and was calculating how much he could earn from the sale... especially how he stuffed me with food last sem... okok... let's be realistic... i was having a stomach upset that couple of days... so... I DIDNT LOSE THAT WEIGHT! its all coming back to me now... 8am lect today was horrid... kept falling asleep... went back room after the lesson to have my deepest half hour nap ever! trudged back to engine for a one hour lecture... lunched... then had the killer Solidworks tutorial... will post my construction some time soon... take a screen shot or something... it's so jialat... that i find it funny... hitched a ride from cheewei... who was heading to PGP as well... had a coconut while he had dinner... he damn funny also la... one of those who made my engin yr1 so enjoyable... enjoyable = yr1 - workload... met the guy for a drink while he had dinner too... then made my way to the library to prepare for my 20 page killer's pre-presentation... trudged back with 4 heavy books... NUS buses after dark are really horrid... people squeeze on and off the buses like nobody's business... i got my toes stepped on... like gazillion times... but like i told gary, whom i bumped into on the bus... it's so beautifully complex... how everyone manages to shuffle in and out of the buses like that... in a relatively efficient way... even if it means bulldozing your way through... dad picked me after he picked mom from work... late coz she needed to finish work... we had a good conversation in the car... as always... so really... i enjoy long journeys with them like that... on the side... i realised that i'm like super pro-Chelsea now... maybe its a case of ai wu ji wu... but it pained me so much to see Chelsea draw Liverpool like that... maybe i should just take the jersey back and wear it myself... ----Stef stopped rambling at 20:06 --Link to Post |

busy... but have to put down some observations... 1. i hate young people who sit on the outer seats of buses and leaving the inner ones empty... pretending not to notice the stares... especially when the bus is super crowded... and there are elderly people trying hard to balance themselves... with helldriver bus captain somemore.... "you long-haired, gentle looking piece of ****! looks like your heart is not as good as it seems!" sorry... over-reacting... 2. saw an engin guy from my previous USP class... obviously singaporean... with gf from China... dont have anything against that... just that he puts on this utterly fake China accent when he talks to her... and his hand on her ass while in the NUS shuttle bus! (you have to visualize how they were sitting... for her ass to be in my direction...) *pukes* and when she pulls his hand away... HE PUTS IT BACK AGAIN! *pukes more* 5. some wang ba dan pasted their posters on top of our windsurf posters... right after i put ours up... wah lao... very the evil lor... somemore i took so much effort to find a nice spot where the posters are all outdated.. so i can paste over theirs... my dates until december can? 4. girl who acts cute in front of boyfriend in PUBLIC... like WHINE-WHINE-WHINE kind of cute... *pukes yesterdae's MacD* i think acting cute in front of your bf is okay... but please spare the general public of the agony... i act cute in front of him sometimes... but he doesnt think i'm cute... so, FINE! the guy said i was over-reacting when i told him about #2... jumping around him and waving my hands madly... i think so too. ----Stef stopped rambling at 22:26 --Link to Post |

i've had dinner with yxy twice this week... we probably see more of each other than we do our respective gf/bf... especially since he is in ME/PGP as well... it's crazy how i enjoy his company... testament to how platonic relationships really do exist... coz we chat about the crappiest of things... and half the time i am rolling my eyes to his egoistic one-liners... laced with his signature malaysian accent... not that it sounds bad... it's just so YXY... but truly... i enjoy dinners in which conversations simply flow... without the need for constant cues... or superficial questions... which is great really... he tells me things so out point i wonder why he ever brings it up... but at the same time... i am thoroughly amused... and kept entertained... i dont feel tired being around him... it's like i dont need to make noise like i usually do to prevent the scary silence... i hate silence... not exactly also... i can be alone... if i am totally alone... i cant stand being alone when it's all busy and rowdy around me... so when i'm with people... i feel an incessant need to keep the conversation going... there are some groups of friends in which i am super quiet... coz the groups have resident noise makers... but when i'm in a group without one... i am compelled to step in... i think silence in groups is awkward... much more than making a fool out of myself... laughing myself silly... but then again.. i relate better to people 1 on 1... i've had countless wonderful conversations in the bus, walking from place to place... with people i have never thought to clique with... i really walk away from these feeling very satisfied... thats the power of a good connection... it kinda reaffirms your very presence... i sound like i am making a mountain out of a molehill... but i really enjoy conversations... doesnt have to be really profound stuff... just the other day i met yb at the foyer of PGP... from the foyer to his block at r5... we talked about doing laundry and me spotting half naked cuties cooking in the kitchen... and i walked away very satisfied... its as if a connection has been made... and i've upped my quota of lives i've touched... doesnt have to be the emotional kinda "touch"... literal meaning works fine enough... chelsea playing liverpool soon... go for power nap... wanna watch lampard play... ----Stef stopped rambling at 01:25 --Link to Post |

i know this is really quick to put up another post after the big-assed one b4 this... but it just struck me... so i have to put this down... the SC girls were talking under the shade while the guys were playing volleyball... that what we want in a relationship changes all the time... so it's not hard to have a change in heart... and cass mentioned something that i found so true... that what we really want now... being so busy with school and stuff... is to be a xiao nu ren... the idea used to gross me out like totally... but i find it so true now... we can be all nu qiang ren-ish out there in front of other people... that what we need in our bfs is the ability to take a lead... so that we dont have to think of anything, like where to eat, what to do... it's all thought of by the guy... just that... and it feels so good already... thanks for being that and more. ----Stef stopped rambling at 18:57 --Link to Post |

friday was the birthday... but i was stuck in school coz of the budget that we had to hand in... met the guy at science for lunch... coz he had a test... so we just hung out at his LT as well... popping coffee flavoured chocs... never knew science had LTs like that... with huge wooden blocks as tables... then it looks like a scene from parliament... as you can see... i dunnoe how to spell... tried to read up abit on my work... albeit very unsuccessfully... parents picked me up... picked up my cake from selegie... dinner at home... maid cooked my favourite vegetables... which was superbly sweet of her... coz i never exactly told her i liked it... and mum didnt ask her to cook it... but she noticed that i almost finished the entire serving last time she cooked it... *gandong-ed* aunt came over as well.. so it was nice and rowdy... coz my home has 9 pple to start off with...  the mocha cake... we really love the tiramisu from LE Cafe at Selegie... but they stopped making those for a while coz of a huge order that they are trying to fill... the couple who runs that place are really nice... coz the cakes are only decorated when the customer collects the cakes... so it took a while for the lady to prepare it... her husband very sweetly brought out some moon pies for us to try... it was so good i was reluctant to save my dad half of mine... but i did... it's a very homely setting... with old mandarin songs from the 50s or 60s playing in the shop... real cool...  my grandparents, aunts and dad... that is probably my granny's favourite expression whilst taking a photo... she is still a spirited one... despite her age and all... and i wont go into how handsome my grandpa is again... i've said that way too many times...  my immediate family... the ones i've been crashing on the bed watching chn8 dramas all night with... the sis who hid her relationship from us for two freaking years... the bro who had just gotten braces... the mom who never fails to look in the pink of health without any makeup on... the dad who would ungrudgingly send my friend back to sembawang for me... i love them...  my sis and i were trying to imitate how my dad never smiles for the camera... which is super unlike his usual crappy lame self... somehow i feel it's his way of hiding his true self... like how he always tells me not to let people see through me so easily... else i'll be bullied... coz he knows i'm sensitive and am hurt easily... but he's such a wonderful person i think it's such a waste that not everyone sees it...  of coz... we have to look normal too... well... despite all i have said about them driving me nuts all the time... i cant do without them too... guy picked me up after that... went esplanade... again... but he knows i totally adore the place... the breeze.. the scenery... though it would have been better if he had planned where exactly to go when we got there... parking was real cheap at $1... Esplanade after 10pm... so after i was done with my sulking that he didnt have plans... i was kinda waiting to be blown off my feet with personalized fireworks at the waterfront... -_- he made me laugh by mistaking the Asian Civilisation Museum for Raffles Hotel... and the Parliament House for the Istana... maybe on purpose... but it was just so impossibly funny... so all was forgiven i guess.. also because he had to give up dinner plans just so i can have dinner with my family... and that he hasnt started on the 13 chapters for his tuesday's test... just so he could spend the evening with me... made our way to the jazz place that GY recommended... bought a couple of drinks each... i had two martinis.. and him, a margarita and an Erdinger... bill came up to 65... and the snobbish waiter refused to let us have the nice comfy cushioned seats... i seriously wanted to throw my hongbao at him... "what?!?! you think we got no money issit?!?!" (even though it is true...) but i reckoned i'd be better off with a nice jacket to keep me warm at lectures... i spotted a nice Puma one today... the waiter was mean... coz it was freaking late... and not as if it was a restricted area... coz everyone ended up moving there themselves... stayed for 1 set + 1 song... and the music wasnt that fantastic... maybe it was... just the entire experience didnt add up too well... and i cant stand second hand smoke... i'd rather save up the money and wait for norah jones to come back... with the guitarist who looked as if he was having multiple orgasms as he played... the guy foot the bill for the night... even though it was past midnite and not my bday anymore... wanted to sit the alcohol out at Macs... but it was closed... so walked back to Esplanade... he piggybacked me for a distance... until i remembered i was in a skirt... and asked him to put me down... which was super unglam... coz i fell to the ground... like PIAK. damn paiseh... found the car and drove out... to fong seng for supper... where i had a dino and a combo... and him, teh peng and pratas... it was almost 3 when he sent me back to PGP... all in all... it was a wonderful night... it better be... else he'll get it from me... left, right and center... the next day was Siloso Beach with the councillors... the girls were superbly lazy... cass and i seriously din wanna move around... though we did play frisbee for abit... good shit... though i would be better off if i din use my weird strap Havianas... which kept on slipping off and tripping me... =P  my team... which was obviously handicapped coz we only had one guy... this was when most of the guys hadnt arrive... dont have pictures of everyone... coz i passed my batteries to cass' better cam... so she'll pass me those photos soon i hope...  the other team... wah piangz... somemore lenny loke so tall... damn irritating la... we ended up losing... so much for having the two birthday girls in my team...  i know we dont look very pro... but it was fun... and i guess that's what matters... yeah rite...  shouwen's birthday was also close... so the celebration was for him too... just wasnt too used to guys being younger than myself... especially when in Uni... everyone is like so old...  cass and myself.. people used to say we look alike... but i think we're far from it... maybe it started when we were mistaken for each other during a ice breaker back in SC days... i think it was Samuel who called me Cass... oh well... Mr Quek even said Stella and i looked alike... a comparision will come later... so because of this... cass, siaowen and myself... became the triplets... with sw in far away aussie... we miss you!  KT and myself... this is the girl who shares the same birthday with me... probably the only one i've found so far... KT's real sweet... and we had a wonderful time working on Talentime together... painting banner... putting up the decor... making sure that pple dont step on the banner while we were painting it... memories man...  just something we took on the bus on the way out of Sentosa... coz we realised we were wearing different coloured ones.. the few of us left earlier coz of other appointments... everyone is like super busy... some of them are in their student union... which is great really... glad that council and the busy life rubbed off them so well... that they went for it again... i was supposed to meet the surfers at linc's place for a potluck.. but i had to go home to get my contribution as well...  i dont have many pictures of this evening... coz i was busy having fun with wilson's 7.2MP Exilim... which was uber cool... but linc's place is huge... so huge until his garden got frogs... and can put a swimming pool...  food... which was super duper a lot... they only finished half of my mee hoon... not because it was bad... coz i liked it... but because linc bought 7 packets of 5* chicken rice... and kelv got 30 BBQ wings... macaroni salad... satay... fried chicken... chips... crazy stuff.. and we had ben & jerry's, jelly cocktail and four leaves cake for dessert... *burp*  we kinda celebrated kelvin's and my birthday as well... had a yummy chocolate cake from four leaves... i think we're really lucky to have yijun as our welfare.. he's such a foodie... so we're looking forward to yummy cakes and nice eating places! not that xy was bad... she damn good at presents... i'm still using the pink cushion she got for me... this year i got a pink Nalgene bottle! i think i kinda forgot to make known that i'm not the pink sort of girl...  the gang watching soccer... lyna went back early... so not bad leh... we had 13 people... oni justin and ya'ou couldnt make it.... and philip, the guy who demanded stingray, was sick... and everyone not used to wilson's flash... i mean camera flash.. not flasher kinda flash... so half the guys were like -_-... just like the guy... sunday was the last day of my 4-day bday celebrations... met 0102 for lunch... it was a few 7 of us... but i was ultra touched that these people turned up at least... lunch at fish and co @ glass house wasnt cheap... neither was the cake they got for lala and myself... lala's bday is in 2 days! nonetheless... had loads of fun... and was ultra full...  fish and co cleverly switched their tv to ESPN... and the liverpool-birmingham repeat was on... so you can see that the guys are very distracted... guys and soccer... hiaks!  YC especially... i think he supports liverpool... judging from how distraught he sounded when we mentioned the own goal...  the drinks... liked this picture... just so orangey... and it has song ge in the background... our favourite leader of our very own song dynasty...  this is twig and his corriander pasta... the best part of the afternoon was that he didnt know wad corriander was.... he doesnt eat seafood... fish, very forcefully... and he hated vegetables... he had a terrible time with his first bite of the pasta... then he donated it to stella, merv and myself... who were sharing a seafood platter for 2... the pasta wasnt too bad... just that the corriander was really strong... so i had to overload the Tabasco...  our yummilicious seafood platter... Glass House dont have New York Fish and Chips! *wails*  this was probably the highlight of the afternoon... lala and i went to the toilet... and when we returned... 3 Fish and Co staff were on standby by our table... with sparklers in hand... and they made us stand on the chairs while everyone sung us a bday song... utterly embarassing... but at least i had lala with me... she does look really happy though...  our pretty cake from Breadtalk... tasted like cheesecake... but 10 times creamier... the 7 of us managed to finish the cake... very forcefully though...  we decided that we were sick of taking pictures with the LOVE outside the glass house... also becoz we couldnt find anyone to take the picture for us... we walked to the Istana Park instead... and YC took the picture... not bad a shot... save for the fact that Alvin was desperately trying to peer out from behind... i had an extremely bad hair day... worse than usual... darn... kept feeling paranoid.. and wondering if people were staring at my gravity defying hair...  this is YC and merv... the gay pals... since goodness knows when... people always complain that i always hold the camera slanted... but i seriously thought this effect is good... breaks the monotony... and it took in the full height of the pillar... which was a pretty background... went back to PGP after that... tried to do some work... met the guy at buena vista to go holland V... had dinner at subway... then went to check out his guitar club's performance at some community event... it was cool... especially to see old uncles clapping animatedly to the rock version of wen bie... and many more songs like, Sway... She will be Loved... Ironic... Inside your Heaven... and lots more... but something which struck me... was how music can touch and move people... kinda regretted not having overcome my inability to play any music...  this kid in red was ultra cute... but totally distracting... he was totally fascinated with the drummer... and he got really close at times... when someone kinda shooed him away... he ran rounds around the stage in a Liang Po Po manner... very funny... but very distracting... that marked the end of my long weekend... it went by really fast though.. but it was the best-est bday i had thus far... i never had a 4day long celebration before... a total of 5 cakes... within a span of 4 days... (i need to jog...) the TKG bballers... serene, jasmine and GY... the family... grandpa, granny, aunts emily & violet, dad, mom, sis, bro and auntie sue... the guy... the council... clarence, CK, lenny, SW, cass, KT, jocelyn, huiqing, ruth, dennis, liteng, peiqi, boss & jerhsuan... the windsurfers... linc, XY, kelv, wilson, yijun, lu, viv, kunshan, lyna, charlene, melvin & weiming... the class 0102.. YC, alvin, weisong, twig, merv and stella... and all those behind the sweet SMSes and MSN msges... thanks once again. ----Stef stopped rambling at 17:45 --Link to Post |

met the bballers for dinner and stuff... was only half our full team... but had a truly wonderful time... realised how much i missed them... how long we've been friends... and memories of what we went through together back in sec school... just came flooding back...  jas and myself... dragged them to Thai Express just so i can use my voucher... but good thing for them too... coz dinner was on them... were celebrating GY's and my birthday... it was cool really... 15 buckeroos off the total bill... plus a nice bottle of wine to takeaway... so sweet of Thai Express... everyone quick go and get their membership... lalaala...  GY and rene... the former looks a lot different compared to our sec school days... probably is ai qing de zi run... wahahha... rene is still her same 'ol self... still utterly suan-able... but she kinda picked up some whining techniques... which really gave us the creeps the entire evening...  food was good... this is GY's noodle thingy... i had my green laksa... which was utterly spicy... but oh-so-good... shared drumlets as well... and passed rene's watermelon-lime around... yummilicious!  GY and myself... she looks so tiny beside me... which is otherwise translated to, "i look FAT beside her." so i decided not to take anymore pictures beside her anymore! did i just use two 'anymore's in one sentence? just goes to show how distraught i am...  jas and rene... this picture took some time to come out... coz we realised rene looks better with half her head hidden behind jas... but then again... we wont be able to see her then... so oh well... had to make do with the distance trick... just so that rene's head will look small...  made our way to the Esplanade... one of my favourite places to go, really... you get performances in the mall... by the waterfront... today we saw TKG's string ensemble... and a string quartet who were mainly from NUS... and GY knew like half of them...  another reason why i like the Esplanade... the quirky exhibits that get you thinking sometimes... this wasnt that interesting... just took the picture coz of the pretty pink... but prior to this was some astroboy thingy... which had a write-up to do with LKY... weird combo... but din really get down to reading it...  GY was totally fascinated with this display... i guess she likes all things white... but it was interesting... like an urban waterfall... or something like that... water flowing everywhere... very minimalistic... very sleek... pretty cool...  went to the rooftop... where rene took out the brownie she baked... brownie mix... but got special toppings of crushed oreos and icing sugar... yummy stuff...  me and rene in the Esplanade rooftop toilet... fun la... though we had to take this in a hurry... scared the pple in the toilet come out and *shake head* at us... stop staring at the waist. or rather, the lack of one...  all of us... i think i'm very experienced in taking such shots... "look where?" "at the camera lens on the reflection!"  GY suggested doing something weird... and so we did... i found this funny because i realised... i was BEHIND the flash... physically and literally... geddit? BEHIND the flash?  one of the better self shots taken... at least everyone looks normal here.... we had like 4 shots of these... everyone who walked past thought we were mad... but we were just reliving our mad schoolgirl days...  weird face shots... suggestion put forth by GY again... dun ask what i was doing... coz i dunnoe... didnt have time to think...  walked over to One Fullerton... the merlion... actually it wasnt sprouting water... until we walked past it... must be our lucky day... the river was very dry... low tide probably... maybe the Merlion knew... just kidding... i not stupid la... i know the Merlion water is pumped from the river...  i told rene the Merlion looked like her... so i kinda forced her to take a picture with mini-merlion... uncanny resemblance huh!  acting like tourists... which was super fun really... this was when the Merlion just started sprouting water... and we were darn excited... scared the water would stop... so quick quick take!  jas and rene were trying to make use of the light under the railing to take a HP pic... my flash, no matter how ugly, finally became useful...  ok la... while i would like to say this idea was original... and we thought of me collecting Merlion water in my mouth... it wasnt... a group of HKG aunties were trying to pull this shot off... albeit unsuccessfully... the other ladies were too prim and proper to do something as embarassing as this... so i had to do it... but they were lousy...  this is wat i took of rene... in order to position the water near her mouth... i had to kneel on the floor... quite terrible la... considering i was wearing a skirt... but good yeah? the water really like coming out from her mouth...  this one also gets more water in the mouth... wahahha... and she looks happy to be drinking Merlion water...  walked over to boat quay... through all the restaurants by the riverfront... then a turn back along Circular Road... passed by all the nite places that i never really been to before... pretty cool stuff really... saw nice loungey places... sofas and candles... Restroom, Bedroom... ?!?!!? GY recommended a jazz place above Coffee Bean... and jas showed us where Eski Bar was... cool places... probably check them out some time...  rene and myself on the EW line back to hostel... she's still hell of a lot of fun... really miss our crappy times together... she's da bomb...  put this in sepia coz that kinda camourflages the blurness... but it kinda suited the mood as well... these are friends who lasted the test of time... we go way back to sec 1... the blur people getting together to play basketball... the trainings.... the jogs... the matches... the sleeping or mugging at the bball courts every morning before assembly without fail... thanks for the great night. ----Stef stopped rambling at 23:32 --Link to Post |
