Let me sway from the topic first.
I've got two bloody assignments to be handed in next week.
And who said university life is better than JC life?

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Ok fine. Maybe it is indeed better.
Considering the fact that I do not wake up at 5 am and then sleep after 12 am and have classes from 7 am to 5 pm.

Ah wells.

Anyway. Back to the topic.
More more piccas. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

And, no prize for guessing who is who. Meh.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Back in form 1, people used to think we were sisters.

We played some chai mui(correct?) games that night.
I swear I have bad luck.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Well this proves it.

Yes, Jono is damn happy that I kept losing and he kept winnning but he was pretty much disappointed when he learned that I can drink. Meh!
But anyway, later that night, I got my revenge cuz apparently my luck has gotten better.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Kuek and Fang on their own.

CNY Day 7





In the midst of eating unhealthy fattening food, I still find time to miss my blog.

*Sayangs blog*

Anyway, on Tuesday, went for yee sang with my friends in Menjalara (Did I get it right?)
Went to June's house to bai nian.
Pravin and Mohan came later to join me.

Gambled, not me, the others.

Tsk tsk, gamblers.

Anyhoo. Dinner that night was great.
Gab and Ming Hann finally joined us after getting lost for a number of times. Eehee.
June's brother brought us to the restaurant and ordered at least 8 kinds of dishes. And there were only 8 of us. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

After dinner, everyone proceeded to my place.
Taught them how to play mahjong.
And now they're kinda addicted. Heh!

No pictures cuz I was busy devouring the crabs.
Meh.


*~*~*~*~*~*


Did I mention that there are two kittens (Now adult cats) living at the alley at the back of my house?

Here's your chance to see them.
These two fellas are damn manja.
Been feeding them since mummycat gave birth to them.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
A little camerashy there.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I'm never a cat person, but after taking in the kitten with white paws, I kinda started having a soft spot for cats.

Damn lazy wanna blog la. Tsk.

Anyway, I've gotta run.
Need to help mummy with the preparation for dinner later.
Open house tonight.

Anyway, if you wanna come, feel free to do so!
Just let me know first.
Toodles!

CNY Day 2





Damn bored.
So effing bored.
So effing bored outta my mind.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I realized with each passing year, somehow CNY has gotten pretty much quiet.
Ok, it's not exactly quiet quiet.

But I miss going back to daddy's hometown.
Visiting all the aunts and uncles I can barely remember how to call them.
How they will say how much I've grown.
Visiting my grandaunts and hearing them say how clever I am just because I used to bring back lotsa A's from exams. (Not anymore though cuz I only managed a 66 last sem)

Sigh. The memories.

What I miss the most is my grandma.
Paternal grandma that is.
Ah wells.

And today, another good ol' friend turned 21.

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY
CHRIS OOI
CHEERS TO 6 YEARS OF JIMUI-ISM



*~*~*~*~*~*


Was chatting with a girlfriend.
Talking about boyfriends.

Discussing like what guys are really for keeps and which ones are supposed to go into the trash can.
Discussing how scary it is to be meeting the boyfriend's parents. (In my case, it's worse. Only son. Mahai damn chat scary ok.)
Discussing why they like dota so much.
Almost everything under the sun.

So I told this friend of mine what I think girls should look for in a guy.

He gives you space
One of the important things. I do not believe that a girl should be tied to a guy in a relationship, vice versa. A guy who doesn't control a girl in a relationship shows that he respects her space. And it also shows that he trusts you enough.

He is affectionate
Ever notice how men tend to clam up and act all macho in public? If he doesn't think twice about giving you a hug or calling you "honey" or "dear" or any sweet names in front of his friends, he's definitely a keeper.

He compliments you
It's a good thing if he notices you new earrings, your new necklace or even your new body shampoo and then compliments how good they look/smell on you. More cookie points.

He listens
Okay, you know how bitchy girls tend to get? I'm not exception. What's important is that he is willing to listen and actually shows he is interested and give an opinion eventhough bitching sessions can be really boring to guys. Communication, darling, communication.

He trusts you
Trust me this is damn important. When a guy trusts you to do your own things, he's seriously for keeps. When I say trust you to do your own things, it's not about getting chores done. It's like when you go out with your friends, he trusts you that you will know what to do. Have fun, but remember you are attached, that kind of thing.

I'm kinda running out of ideas. Add in more for yourself.
I think different girls have different needs.

Like how some girls like their man to cling to them but I prefer having space and time to breathe.
Like how some girls don't mind being bossed around by their man but I do mind.
Yadda yadda.

And you all know, it's CNY.
Time when some guys will bring their girlfriendss back home and introduce the girlfriend to the whole extended family.
Gosh the horrors.

Then it came to me.
She asked if I have met his family.

NO. Not just yet.

Why?

I don't think I'm so prepared and *points up* he's the only child la.
I stress ok.
Like, what if his mum doesn't like me?
What if his mum thinks I'm not good enough for him?
What if his mum thinks I'm tough to handle?
What if his mum thinks I'm high-maintenance? (Trust me I'm not. Heh!)
You know all those things.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

For me, I do believe the approval of your parents on your significant other is very, very important.
If your parents like that person you are dating, everything seems to be smooth-sailing.

Then my friend asked, has he ever mentioned about bringing you home?

And I went blank.

"Er I guess he did."
"What do you mean you guess?"
"Nolaa. He did say that but I don't know if he really means it or just playing cuz he knows I'm terrified of meeting parents."
"Hahhhhhhh?"

Then she told me..

"You know ah girl.. If a guy brings you home to meet his parents, means he think you are the one for him and he's serious about you"

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

"And it shows that he likes you enough to let his parents know about your existence."

WAIT A MINUTE.
Diu lor.
If that's really the case, then my baby isn't serious about me?
Then he doesn't like me enough?
Chiseen.

HAPPY CNY!





I painted my nails bright red in conjunction with CNY!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I think it's so pretty!
Eehee.

But the manicurist that I went to isn't that good.
When I went home, only I realized there were bubbles trapped underneath the nail polish.
Shall go back to Sungei Wang next time.
And Sungei Wang is a little cheaper as well.

If you notice, the nails are a little square.
I don't fancy square nails, prefer slightly rounded ones.
Makes the fingers look longer and slimmer.
(Although Eveleen thinks my fingers are pretty long for my size)

Anyhoo. If you know of a good manicurist (Someone who is chatty as well, so that I won't feel bored while she does my nails), do not hesitate to let me know.
And eehee, being the cheapo I am, the price should be reasonable, like around RM25-RM28 cuz even Sungei Wang's charges are like RM25.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Unprofessionally editted photo to make it not so bright.
Before this, it was all white! Serious.

See that dimple?
Damn cute, I like!

I wish I have dimples too.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

*Wondering if I'm really a bimbo afterall*

Anyhoo.
Nothing much to blog about.
No new pictures. Maybe next time yeah.

Lastly.........

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
Have a blessed year ahead and may lady luck follow you all year round.
(:

Results.





I've gotten my results for my first semester.
Wasn't impressive I must say and I'm pretty disappointed with the average marks.
Didn't manage a first class. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I am 4 points away from my target.

Average points? 66. Not impressive.
But at least I didn't fail anything.

The biggest surprise was that I got 72 for PEF.
I was sooo amazed.
If you can remember, I complained sooo much about PEF.
I thought I will just pass it, like, scraped through it.

Scored the highest for the tougher subjects but did averagely in the easier ones.
How stoopid. Bah. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Gonna work harder this semester!


Apart from that. I hope that all of you had a great Valentine's Day celebration with your loved ones. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I, in turn, stayed at home cuz I had a 9 am class this morning.
And also, hate to go to crowded places. Can't. Breathe.

Anyhoo. Just a couple of gifts. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

TheBoyfriend got me this bunny necklace, knowing how much I loved bunnies.
It's damn pretty. And there's a heart as well. Eehee. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Thanks baby!
And thanks for the lovely surprise in the dashboard! Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

The roses are from Brian.
Too bad they are not champagne-coloured roses.
Those who know me well will know champagne-coloured roses are my favourites.
Eee can't complain, can I?

Anyway, thanks Brian!

Close up of the roses:

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

It's not a big bouquet but I think it's the thought that counts.
Moreover, roses are helluva expensive on Vday.

I got a surprise in the mail too!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Bestie sent me this!
It's so pretty.

But she apologized first cuz the card is soooo pink and I hated pink.
She's damn sweet la. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Bestie also isn't the most innocent person I know.
I bet she purposely chose this card.
Tsk tsk.

Just some neoprint collection of bestie and me next!
Just somehow felt like putting them up.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Can you see the bunny ears at the top left? Darn cute!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Sorry I don't have a scanner so I took it using my camera. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

CNY coming! One week holiday.
Darn. Gonna miss the girls.
I wonder how I'm gonna survive my summer break without the girls.
We've bonded sooo much.

*Happy sigh*

Love Is
In The Air






HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
EVERYONE!

May you be filled with love, laughter and joy on this very overrated, money-sucking, commercialized, overpriced and uber sweeeeeet day.

Have fun!

As for me, I'll be dating heat exchangers and pumps for the next three years (not including 2007) cuz Notts doesn't give holidays on Valentine's Day. (Who does anyway? Heh!)

Love all of you!

More love to:
Daddy, Mummy, Bro, TheBoyfriendJunYu, YukiThePamperredWhiteTerrier, TheBestieShinYie, JiMuiChris, SecretAdmirerChaiLian, SingaporeBestieGeorgia, 3E'sEveleen, 3E'sLizzie, JuneEnuj, MummyMeiSyen, AuntieShinYin, SukiSookYee, Steph and all those who are close to my heart.

If I forget to mention any of you who you think should be in that list, feel free to warn me the consequences of not putting your name up there and I might be kind enough to put your name. Eehee

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
MWAH MWAH!

Pink
And
Blue






This post, it will make Miss Xue Zhen all excited.
And wonder why? Cuz there will be hippos!
Why? Xue Zhen lovessss hippos. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I've gotten bestie a pink hippo for Valentine's Day.
The only ever nice one left in that shop.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Bestie loves pink, so I got her a pink hippo.
But almost everything is in pink.
Well, you know, it's Valentine's Day.
Bestie loves pink, but I hate pink.
But still I love my bestie. Eehee.

Anyway. There's no other choice cuz the other soft toys aren't as cute.
And then I realized, "Eh. She got me a blue hippo for last Valentine's.."

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

This one ain't furry like the one I got for her.
But then it's damn squeezable (As if this word exists).

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I think the two are such a matching pair.
Pink and blue.
Which explains the title.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Anyway, NEXT!

Something that's really hugable..

Presenting to you

TheBoyfriend got this for me when I first saw it.
Apparently the look on my face when he poked the stomach of Pooh was priceless.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

A smaller Pooh.
Actually there's a set of the small Pooh.
Tigger, Piglet, Pooh and Eeyore. Given by Debz and Tracy when I was in Singapore.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

More Poohs!
At this point, you should know I'm in love with Pooh bears.

Which reminds me that....
I've got a joke, from Lizzie.

She said there was this movie, the mother is a very realistic woman.
The mother doesn't believe in silver linings.
So she doesn't believe in saying 'sweetened' words.
Like, how URINE is called PEE.
Or SHITTING is called POO-POO.
So the mother actually taught the kids to call Winnie The Pooh as Winnie The SHIT.

Imagine asking your mum to buy you a Pooh bear.
"Mummy can I have a SHIT BEAR?"

Finally!


I'm sorry for being missing in action for a week!
Well, not entirely my fault.
Mum conveniently forgot to pay the internet bills and my line is suspended!

Gosh. I almost died from not having internet connection.
But it was real productive, as in, studies wise.
I finished up my coursework pretty fast and efficiently.
Normally I'd just drag and drag and drag it till I think there's no time. Heh!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

But anyway, there's nothing much to update about.
Unless you want me to bore you with the details of my courseworks. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I sort of think I don't have a life when classes start.
I get lazy to go out even on the weekends.
And sometimes you just feel so bored of going to the malls.
It's always the same old thing.

And oh! Public announcement!

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY
EVELEEN DARLING!
MWAH MWAH
ME LOVE YOU!


*Evil chuckle*

Now everyone knows you are 21.
It will be another 5 months before I join you. Heh!

One more thing, I'm so proud of myself can.
For Process Engineering Project which is another part of Process Engineering Fundamentals, I did my flowchart 70% right!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Yes I know it's not 100% but you know, PEF is my killer subject in first sem and PEP is not gonna be any much easier than PEF. It is supposed to be a gazillion times worse than PEF.

So yeah. You get the drift. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Anyhoo. Will update again soon. This is just to let you people know that I'm still pretty much alive and kicking!

Cramps


I don't know why, but the cramps are getting a little too much to handle lately.
Had a backache, had the baby massage me for a bit.

I swear I'm getting old.

Almost died of gastric pain on Friday.
It was alright at night though.
But that was also when the backache starts.

Woke up on Saturday morning with a nasty gastric pain.
Left me walking around like a hunchback of Notredame.
(Okay fine, I'm exaggerating that part)
But I couldn't really walk with my back straight.

TheBoyfriend finished up my Baskin Robbins and only gave me 3 spoons (I think) cuz he said "You cannot eat so much. You are not feeling well."

And I watched him finished the last 1/3 of it. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I told him I'm gonna get myself another pint when I'm well again.
I don't care if it's not the 31st.
Yeah, call me a cheapskate cuz I prefer buying BR on the 31st. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting


Went out with an old friend later that night, Jacinth.
No pictures, sorry. Was too busy catching up and layan-ing some weird encounters.

We were supposed to go to Fondue House cuz I promised her to bring her there.
But heck it was closed last night!!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

So, no choice, we left for Souled Out.
We ate and sat there for hours, I think. At least 3 hours.

TheManagerAlvin was nice enough cuz he gave both of us free drinks.
Complimentary from him. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting


Anyway, some funny encounters: Jacinth, Me

#1
Waitress walked to our table and placed two glasses of drinks.
Jacinth and I were like, Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
"We didn't order any drinks."
"Oh it's actually from our manager Alvin."
"Oh okay. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Thank you."
"He said it's complimentary drinks for both of you."

Left both of us pretty much surprised. Eehee.


#2
A man walked to our table, with his moustache and beard and all on the face.
Pointing to the two empty chairs at our table, "Not taken?"
I assumed he wanted extra chairs but I was wondering why ours cuz there are other available chairs at the next table, which is empty.

So we just shook our head.
To our surprise, he sat down!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Damn shocked I tell you.

"Hi I'm XXX"
Shook hands but we never told him our names.
"So you girls come here often?"
"Er no."
"Aren't you a bit too matured?"
"Oh really?"
Then he laughed like an idiot. Hur hur hur.
Awkward silence for a while.
"So you girls still studying?"
"Yeah."
"My friends and I come here often."
"Ohkay."
"We are just over there. Cuz we saw just the both of you alone here. Was wondering if you wanna join us?"
"Oh no. We're fine over here."
"But why just the both of you?"
"Just some girl talk. We're fine."

I think both of us were feeling soooo uneasy with him sitting there, shamelessly.

"Er sorry but you are kind of disturbing us."
"Oh alright. Anyway it's nice meeting you girls."

And he finally left. Phew.
One of the weirdest moments.
I mean, if he's young and all, I'd understand.
But he has to be at least 35!
Mind you, his friends are also balding.


#3
A waiter walked to our table in shock cuz we had two 'new' drinks on the table.
"Did you order these drinks?"
"Er no."
"It was from Alvin."
"It's not your drink?"
"No no. It's from your manager, Alvin. He said it's complimentary from him."

He left in a hurry, I assume he wanted to confirm about that cuz we've asked for the bill already.
I swear that waiter's face was very, very, very shocked and Jacinth kinda thought he wanted the drinks back. Haha.
But he left us alone after that.


#4
The manager, Alvin came to talk to us, yadda yadda.
We said our thank you's for his treat.

"So do you girls want anymore drinks? You are actually drawing quite a lot of attention to this table. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"
"Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Oh thank you. It's okay. We're kinda bloated from the drinks."
"Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Cuz there are people who want to buy you girls some drinks, so I'm wondering what do you want to have."
"Oh no it's really okay. We're kinda full."
"But the night is still young!"
"No no no, it's really ok. Thank you soooo much."


Man, ego booster, I like!
But the catching up part was damn good.
Laughters along the way.

Another day, Jacinth, we'll go for Fondue, and if it's not open, we'll burn that shop.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Anyway, first week of second semester is good!
Minus the coursework from PEP. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
