before i forget to mention again: PENNY IS BACK FROM HK.

(okay, back to regular transmission)

Thursday:

Had to go back to school for some stuff ongoing for Symposium. Don't ask; it's boring sh*t. And I'm like in charge of the stage.

Friday:

Went back to school (again) for FOI project. Deadline then was like a week away but there was like nothin' done. So yeah, we had to 'pia'. Well at least we tried to. It's tiring to be doing a project full of theory sh*t that I couldn't even last 3 hours, and that was inluding an hour of unintended break. My (now defunct) Legal Aspects group was there doing their FOI project. I guess they got pretty bored too. Ronnie was messin' with my hp. Nicholai went through all 700+ songs on my iPod (and yes, I listen to the Carpenters, the Beatles and songs of different languages). Loretta was handin' out Merci Chocolate whilst together with me, tried to figure out how to remove the MMC from her hp. All this when Jas was beside me tryin to work on our project. Yet, she still could find the time to get a shot.


Ronnie looks weird over there. Anyways, lunch-ed with them (minus Jas). Somehow we were talking bout how Harry Potter and Ron Weasely are getting older (and uglier), how J.K Rowling couldn't possibly manage to match the popularity of her current series with another childrens' book series, how stupid catfish are etc. Went back to work with Jas after lunch. I guess the both of us were tired of the project that we left 2 hours earlier (ok, maybe it was just me) than what we had intended to.

Met Rad after that, from where we headed to TM from school. Okay, maybe technically from my home. So anyways, after what it seems to be a gazillion years, I ate at LJS. Saw Anand there with his gf. Fast forward. We left the place at like 6+ I was supposed to meet YL and Jason at 9, and I didn't wanna go home. So on the bus to Eunos MRT, I decided to drop by the Book Sale at the Expo at where Sarah works. I haven't talked to her for a few days and yet so much stuff has been happening. Heh. And Faisal will never stop with the blonde jokes but I've kinda gotten used to it.

So 1.5 hours later, I set off to meet the both of them to have dinner/supper at Simpang Bedok. We talked bout stuff, serious and nonsensical. Amazing how word travels fast. Oh well, if it's between my good friend's, it doesn't really matter. So yeah, we decided to head to YL's, which is like a 15mins walk from where we were. There's actually a small kinda nice part around Tanah Merah MRT but it's like in the middle of nowhere. I find YL's condo pool nice, or maybe it appeared to be since it was already quite late into the night. Anyways, we went up to his place to 'kpo' around before we left at around midnight so that we wouldn't miss the last bus.

Today

Supposedly gym-ing at 8, but someone couldn't wake up on time. In the end, we only started at like 9+ After that session, I felt more energetic. Headed to CS for lunch. I ate BAN MIAN (yes Sam, BAN MIAN) But of course this BAN MIAN contained no pork, so you can still consider getting me Ba Kwa. HAH. An hour's of sleep later and I've been facing the computer screen doing the project report. Oh, and Sadaam Hussein has been executed. Couldn't even give him till the end of the year or somethin. And they actually showed a video leading to the actual hanging. Sheesh.

So, the year's gonna come to an end in less than 24 hours. 2006. What a year it has been. Full of extreme ups and downs. Yet, it wouldn't have been possible without the people around me, the people who have left major footprints in this 2006 journey of mine.

The 8 of Us. My sanctuary away from all things related to school. The drinks. The stupid games. The laughter.

'Lepak Buddies'. We can just call each other like 1 hr before and we'll be there. The late hours talking bout our problems, life. Nights have a new meaning for me now.

2A06(half of them actually). They make tutorials less of a dread than they already are.

J.D. The realisation suddenly dawned on me that we've only REALLY gone out together, like one-on-one, only once, yet there's somethin' that always clicks. All in all, my A.S.S =p

Rad. Even though we got closer after barely 3 months, it's as if I've known you longer. And with the recent sh*t I'd to go through, thanks for the emotional support.

YL. For the occasional window shopping/dinner. My brother. HAHA.

Kris. For opening my eyes to the world out there, even from the other end of the globe.

Jhon. For encouraging me to be the best I can be.

And the rest of my friends who have shown their support and concern, making this year bearable =)

Events that I forgot to mention:

Dec 25 - 'Godfather of Soul', James Brown passes on. The man behind that famous "I feel good, I knew that I would.. So good.. So good.. 'Cos I got you.. Whoo!" song.

R.I.P (1933-2006)

Dec 26 -It was just 2 years ago that the Tsunami struck parts of Asia, yet I still remember where I was when I heard the news. Thousands killed. The loss. The pain. May their souls rest in peace.

Spent X'mas night at Kev's. I can't help it if I really do suck at art =\ Saw 3 was like.. I can't believe people would actually pay to watch this kinda movies. Maybe it's just me. Oh well. Cards. Sucked at 'Bluff-ing'. Only turned it at like 5+ and had to get up at 8+ I didn't know the pre-dozing off could be so somewhat entertaining. HAH.

-discussion bout FOI goes on for like 45mins-

Ironically, I couldn't get to sleep once I reached home considering how little sleep I got for the previous day. I only slept for like a total of 3 hours in the afternoon. Not that shabby I guess. And on that cold rainy day, I stepped into school twice. Shucks, which reminds me, my matric card is still at SAA. I need to borrow the Investments book, again. It kinda gets irritating when you know you've got things to do, yet you can't start on them cos' to get things started, you've to wait for others to finish their work. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.

So since the rain has deterred me from having my supper at Simpang Bedok, I've been reading up on birth order on the net, how it affects personality and stuff. I kinda find it interesting, even though I can't still seem to figure out whether I'd be categorized under the firstborn or the lastborn. Poles apart to say the least. Geez, I miss Sociology classes =(

So it's X'mas, supposedly all jovial and all. This year's kinda different from other years. Stupid emotions got me all hung up with the 'no mood' to step out of the house, with the rain making it all worse. But I guess I've to start getting out, like starting from now.

Got out in the middle of the night with my bro. Starbucks coffee. Ruffles. Chatted at the void deck. X'mas bonding eh? Lols.

You know, I find it ironic that a bf can get jealous over me. Not the first time it's happened. Little boys with insecurities. With balls the size of theirs, who needs men eh?

This week has been one helluva rollercoaster ride.

Nevertheless, thanks to everyone for the support, concern and advice =) I just wished I'd the 'heart' to go for the chalet today. Oh well.

Dinner with Su Ling at Phin's on Wednesday. We actually mixed up the meeting places =\ Literally had a 'ball' over the SMS conversation. Lols.

Had make-up CMA tutorial on Thursday. When we sat down in class, Tancy was like, "You just broke up?" and I was like "Kind of?" I don't know if it was cos I cut my hair or my emotions could be read on my face literally. Met Rad for awhile, and then spent the rest of my time at SWCC, and no, I wasn't getting counselled. I just had a looooooong chat with the staff over there, bout holidays, family, guys, education etc. Headed down to Bedok Interchange to meet Casey. The bus ride there was really deja vu for me. Sigh. Anyhows, we went to MS, had dinner at some Thai restaurant and just simply caught up with each other.

Today I just wanted to be alone, and I actually came up with an 'Emo List' on my iTunes. I guess things are slightly better, though they'll never be the same again but I'll be contented for now considering the dream I had the previous night was bad. Real bad. And I finally started on the FOI theory *phew*

1) Unwillingness to take risks,
2) Yet possessing super-big egos
3) Not practicing what they preach (No Action, Talk Only)
4) Inability to view things from a broad perspective
5) Unflattering sense of style
6) Lack of respect for women
7) 'Direction-less' in life
8) Acting as if they will never be wrong,
9) And that they know everything

and finally,

10) Full of s*it and lies.

When I'm with people, they see the usual me; the smiles, the laughter. Yet when I'm all alone now, I'm just a girl with broken wings, with no more tears to shed.

Do all these happenings occur for a reason? What does God have install for us? Has each of our destiny been pre-written, and do we have a choice on how we live our lives? Are we the engineers of our destiny?

It's ironic how a moment of joy can turn into a painful one in just a split second.

I got my N7390. A lil' persuasion and pouting goes a long way. Waha.

Got my hair cut finally at Kimage.

Recieved my CDs all the way from the Land of Smiles.

Free dinner courtesy of Monisha.

Yesssa! Back to my ol' self though i lost my ring when i went wakeboarding on Monday =(

Someone get me a new one. Waha.

And yes, I'm back from Malaysia, Port Dickson to be exact. Can't wait for Monday to be over =\

Sunday and Monday were like the lowest days in my life. Period. Most of you won't know what it is, only those 'lucky' few of you. 3 to be exact. Nevertheless, those who showed care and concern despite not knowing the exact reason, thanks as well =)

I hope I'd be able to face the adversities which will come charging at me. It sucks to be faced with sucha prob when it's your mid-sem week, which evidently I think I screwed it up. F*ck.

What else is there? *ponders*

'Heroes' and 'Prison Break' will only be back next year. I don't know when the next episode of 'Supernatural' will be aired. THERE'S NO SHOW TO LOOK FOWARD TO. Ok, so maybe there's still video streaming. I haven't been following up on 'Sam Has 7 Friends' on youtube.com, and Craig Ferguson drives me nuts.

Projects. 2 academic projects. I think it's safe to say that my CDS project is done? Seriously, before we could even start on research, one of us says that he has done the project and all it needs is some touching up. Is that like good or bad? Good cos' of course we don't have to slug ourselves out. Bad cos' the rest of us won't have a rat's ass on what the project is bout'. And there's still the individual component to the project. FOI project. Did 2/3 of the calculations with Jas after the IF paper. Hopefully, the guys will do their respective jobs =
Went to VivoCity with that 'younger-than-me' kakak. I seriously needed to get out (as in really out there), away from all the fiasco in my mind. Thanks eh, like 'no-sarcasm-intended' thanks =) Anyways, the good deed was repaid. Hah.

To the dentist in the morning. My wisdom tooth(s) is coming out! Dear God, please make there no need for an extraction =
Watched this 'documentary' on Connor Clapton, yeah the son of Eric Clapton. Kinda sad when your son has to pass on at sucha young age due to a freak accident. It's been 15 years. He would have been 19 today, and yet 'Tears In Heaven' is still an inspiration to people all around. Really a heart-wrenching song if you really listen to it.

Sorry for the lack of updates. Have been busy with school most of the time.

So yeah, the interview's over and overall, I think it went well. I didn't know it would be graded on the spot. A B+ ain't that shabby eh? School work. Club project. Driving lessons. That's basically it.

I really needed to take time outside, out of school. Thanks Rad =)

I'm not ready to face reality =\

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just take the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy to pick up.The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing.They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Now Men. Men are like a fine wine.They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the sh*t out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

Was sent to me via e-mail from mum. I found it quite meaningful. Well then, interview tommorow. Bless me.

I haven't been blogging quite some time. Why? Ask Sam =X

So what have I been up to these days? Driving lessons. I finally got out to the road and what a feelin'. Starbucks with YL and DD on Wednesday, following day with YL, Sam and his gf. The Peppermint Frappuchino is like *thumbs up*

Had 'tea' with Neh. Bumped into 'short fart' a.k.a M.B. Waha. Okay, that's evil, but yeah. I wanted to pretend not to see him but he smsed me like 2 hours later. Please be glad to know I didn't reply. Lols.

Met Sarah at 9+ Had our lil' dinner at one of the void decks. Went to meet one of her friends, Raihan at Al-Kader's. We talked bout all the lil' stupid stuff. I think we sat there for like 4 hours. Towards the last hour was damn funny lah, talking bout 'tau-geh'. I tell you, I'll never look at it the same again =\
