With so many topics to post from ( from the newly bought PS3 and what's going on the weekends ), I have decided to post up on some stuff that popped up in my mind early this morning. I meant it as a joke, so if you have no sense of humor, please do NOT continue reading~
Tips for guys and gals:
1) Gals, do not make fun of your boyfriend's or potential fiance's surname. You may jolly well "inherit" the name in the near future and the joke will be on you. ( Of cos, if its your ex, you can have all the fun you want out of the name. )
2) Guys, do not keep on teasing about your girlfriend being fat. You should go and exercise more. Cos you may need to carry the additional "weight" in your arms at least once ( Example, wedding day ).
3) Gals, if you think your guys are playing too much games, let them be. In fact, join them and you may even beat them at their own games! Its better to have them playing games rather than going out drinking or womanizing. ( And they might be in awed if you actually win. Of cos, don't win too much time or else he might just head out =x )
4) Guys, there is a different between a sweet, coy "Noooo~" and a firm, angered "No!" Cos if insisted on, the latter will give you this result "I said no already you freaking dumb ass!" or something along that line anyway~
5) Gals, if you think your boyfriend is not romantic, count it as a blessing! If he's too romantic, he might be a casanova!
6) Guys, if the gal you are dating is always dolling up and wearing/accessorising with branded goods ( such as LV, Gucci etc ), do not take her to the nearby coffee shop or hawker center ( unless you are joking of cos ), for you will be treated with the death stare and probably a soon break-up. ( Such ladies don't doll up for you. They doll to show off to others and are probably a little high on maintenance. )
Just some random thoughts, may post more if I remember heh heh... Like I said, if can't take a joke, don't read in the first place! And good for you if you are one that's laughing/smiling after reading each line heeheehee~ Have fun~!

Stubborness
Despite feeling sharp pains at my tummy area and having running to the loos a couple of time, I still insisted on coming to work. Even when I am on the train and bus, there's a few times I almost wanted to turn back to go home, but I still made it to work.
I realised my stubborness could, probably in the future, be my biggest downfall, or even, be the possible reason of my death ( touchwood ).
Yet I am happy that I made it to work ( although my tummy don't agree ) as one of my other colleagues is taking leave today. Usually the things to be done in work is done by either of us and I remembered my supervisor once jokingly ( I hope ) said that "You two better not take leave at the same time."
So maybe this is a good thing that I come to work afterall?
Though I am still praying for 6pm to arrive faster cos I don't know how long I might last...

Shucks, no luck.
Sigh... No luck with the phone contest.
But its alright, there's always another time!
My dear called to say that he has bought PS3. That was pretty fast of him. But that also means that another $500+ gone. =x
Think he's either trying it out now or perhaps on his way to work ( with his now Cabbie- Ex Supervisor fetching him to work ).
Oh well, will post up the new game console soon~!

Oh well, will post up the new game console soon~!
Praying hard that I will win!
From ipad to free phones, anything that allows me to get freebies, I will try to participate! ( Provided I don't have to pay much, better yet, no payment at all! )
Yea yea, I am a typical Singaporean, but I love to win things heehee...
Just like a few weeks back, I received an envelope, in it there's a letter from 3M stating that I won the nexcare ance patch contest ( loves nexcare! I always have pimple for some reason and they helped to get rid the pimples for me! ) and along with the letter there's a voucher thingy saying I can redeem an eyelash extension at Browhaus worth $80++~
I am still wondering if its good ( cos I quite like my eyelashes and been commented that they are naturally long, but not very very long! ) and if it will damage my lashes =x
Right now I am waiting for the results~ Who is the winner of the free phone~?
Hope its me! Or my dear! I registered him in heh heh... I called him before I registered and below is our conversation:
Me: Dear I sign you up in a free phone contest ok?
Dear: Do I need to do anything?
Me: Nope, just need to fill up the normal particulars can le, I can fill up for you.
Dear: Orh.
Me: Saw people won Blackberry Torch before. Though got lousy phone, but hope I win good one!
Dear: Ok hon.
=p Usually if he don't need to do anything, he would just leave me to do as I please heh heh...( Provided I am not doing anything that might cost alot or anything stupid~ )
So I get one more chance of winning hahahaha ( I think if win the phone will be mine~! All mine~! Cos my phone is pretty old and not even a smart phone whereas he's using iphone =x )
And I have been looking for phone for soooo long... Even if I don't get to win a smart phone and it turns to be some lousy phone, I can still sell it and earn the money to buy new phone! I have plans! But now just need a little luck!
Praying hard that I will get it! We shall see how it goes later~! Maybe I might post up later heehee~

You know its not your day when...
1) You woke up early and skipping breakfast so you can attend the meeting but was a little late.
2) End up having a late oily breakfast that totally ruin your lunch appetite.
3) Gotten a horrid meal instead cos the chicken rice stall queue was longer than the one that are people queueing for freebies.
4) Having nothing to do while everyone is busy.
5) Reading finished all the news articles and lots of time to spare.
6) Reading all the blogs that you know ( even the least popular ones ) and still having time to spare.
7) Reading something from the facebook that makes you angry about.
8) Getting a freaking headache that threatens to explode your head.
9) Still having nothing to do.
10) Counting down till work end.
But there are some good things that happen too:
1) I was early today and have witnesses.
2) At least I was not the last or 2nd last or 3rd last and certainly not the extremely late one that turn up at the meeting.
3) I drank lots of water due to the oily food.
4) Watching others racking their brains and thanking silently its not me.
5) Know slightly more about the world's happening.
6) Know that there are people having a more miserable ( or better ) time than me.
7) Know that not many people will hide things from me ( pros & cons here ).
8) Not going to think much cos head is hurting badly.
9) Looking around me and trying to be thankful.
10) 1 more hour till I am free!!!

Things I did over the weekend and my new bag and so on!
*Warning, its going to be a long blog plus mass spam of photos!!!*
Just when you thought my blog is going to be dying out *poof* I am back with more photos~!
Heehee... Where should I start~? Hmm let's get on with last week first then!
Last Thursday, 17th Feb, 2011 is the Lunar 15th day. That marks the end of CNY and also marks the end of my Ang Bao season *sob* But I only get about $150 so not much difference ( plus I didn't really in the mood for new year visiting since the death of my Lizzy... )
Then dear's mummy asked us to meet her for dinner on that very night. Things were quite hectic from my time after work ( I had to leave early and dear tricked his friend, CX to join us instead of letting CX buy PS3, will talk more about that later~ ) and till the time we reached there. ( No pictures yet for the following part )
Cute Bubble was very welcoming! Seems sooooo excited to see us! It kept on running here and there and even stood on two legs with its front paws leaning against my legs... Soooo adorable!
We ( dear, his mom, CX, Mint, Jackie and Bubble ) headed downstairs for some hawker food and they ordered some veggies ( don't mind me, but I can never recall dishes of veggies, they all look the same to me... Urgh... ), fried chicken pieces ( its bite size pieces and though have bones, are simply crunchy and delicious! ), assam fish head ( they initially wanted to order curry fishhead ), fried prawns covered in salted egg yolk ( quite yummy! I scooped more on the salted yolks though... Don't fancy prawns that much haha, but its one of Mint's favorite dish ), sweet and sour meat slice and the yam cake thingy with lots and lots of cashew nuts, white fried noodles, I forgot what's the name.
Bubble was terrified throughout the whole meal. There's this other dog, bigger size than Bubble and very very enthusiatic when it realised Bubble was nearby. In fact it kept on pouncing towards Bubble and the poor thing kept on shrinking away. Apparently this other dog thought Bubble was his younger brother ( the owner has another dog that resembles Bubble ) and wanted to play with it. But Bubble seems to want to have nothing to do with the other dog.
When we were to order drinks, I wanted Ice Lemon Tea ( despite the fact that I was coughing alot ) and suddenly I was chided by dear's mom o.O She scolded me for having cold drinks when I am sick. Hee... This may sounds weird, but isn't she sweet??!! I mean, c'mon! Usually the people that will scold me for drinking cold water/drinks when I am sick are: Ying ( Best friend~ ), my mom ( love her~ ) and sometimes my dear~ And why they scold? Cos they care about me~! *I am not a psycho or a glutton for scoldings thank you~! Usually if I am getting scolded for no reason, I will attack back!*
And when we were starting to eat, she plucked out a huge chunk of fish meat and put it on my plate!! I thought she was taking it for herself, but she gave to me, I must say, I am pleasantly surprised. Cos only the ones that care/likes/love me will do that for me... But I only managed to squeaked out a small "Thank you Auntie" cos it happened too fast for me to react. Dear did teased me about it afterwards, saying that his mom has treated me like her daughter ( the scolding and taking of food ). Heh... But my mom treated him like another son as well! She cares for him if he's sick and she made sure that he has enough to eat and so on.
Too bad I was a little nervous to take the photo of the food, but they were not all that great ( some of the dishes not that great like the sweet and sour meat slices ) and we were all worn out, so not really in mood for phototaking.
On Saturday, I spent the day helping dear to move his stuff from his grandma's place back to his mom's house. He had so much stuff ( and very heavy ) that we had to get his cousin, Xuan, to help us move =x After that we moved most of his stuff to his mom's place, he brought the remaining back to my place before we returned the van to his uncle and headed to Clark Quey. Danielle, Max and Chaos papa were already in the TCC when we arrived. *Picture time~* We ordered our food only after we managed to get the huge cushion seats heh heh~
Danielle's plain water~ She's sharing tea with Max =p
My darling's pretty drink! *He ordered it cos I am curious what it was*
Can you guess the name?
Can you see it~?
Tadah~! Sweet Sensation!
Cute name for a pretty sweet drink. It comprises of milk, chocolate and strawberry syrupy taste. But I only tasted a strong strawberry foam with a hint of milk. You can add coffee inside but it will cost you another like $1.50 ( or is it $1.20? ) and yea... As you can see, its cost like $7.20++ and it got me looking for more water cos too sweet for my liking.
This is mine~
Berry something. I have to get my memory in track =x Always forgetting this and that ( I won't forget my friends nor family nor dear etc~ ).
The clear translucent is actually soda ( I tried it without mixing at first to taste what's its like originally and almost regretted it. After mixing with the berry syrup at the bottom of the glass, it was alright, but not my kind of drink =x ) It has a minty flavour, add with a little bit of sour from lime and sweetness from berry syrup.
Penne MaMa Mia~ ( At least I am sure I got this right! )
Chicken pieces with sliced carrots, onions and penne with melted cheese ( mozzerella if I am not wrong ). Not bad, I like it! Unfortunately my darling did not like his baked mushroom pasta which was choosen by moi. Opps~
After we had our dinner, we headed home where I spent the night and the next day helping my dear clearing his...
Coin bank/collection.
Arranging it neatly in piles.
Shiny coins~
Guess how much is it?
Clue: He's been dumping all the coins he had on a daily basis into this container ever since 8 years ago.
$300++?
Nope.
$400++?
Nope.
It's $700++. Oh. My. God. No wonder its so freaking heavy to carry! I can't even carry it with one hand and barely able to lug it around with two...
It's Sunday afternoon by the time we wrapped it all in paper. FOL.
He said more than half of it, he's using it to buy a iphone 4 for his mom ( Isn't he such a fillial son? Loves him~! ) And he initially wanted to use the rest to get me a new phone. Sweet guy... But I rather he use them to get what he wants which is... PS3~!
Looks like we going to be spending lots for this month and next month. Lizzy's death set me back $400++. My handphone plan ending and I am thinking of getting a new phone but this time round, I am considering getting a cheaper phone ( hopefully less than $200 ) so that I can buy a new cage for my chinchillas. He's getting a iphone 4 for his mom, and we are both sharing money to get a PS3 and probably a HD TV soon next month. All these means lots of money... @.@
Today I got a pretty honeydew! The fruitseller hidden this honeydew from sight heh heh... But since I am an old customer, the uncle took it out for me~ Love the orangey center and its so deliciously sweet!! Yums to the max!!!
My new work bag!! Actually I prefer another one but its too expensive... But this will do and if I ever need a belt~ I can take the belty design off and put it on me muahahahaha~
Random post~:
Found this in a supermarket selling milk products... But 2 lane down its spelt "Dairy" and my dear joked "This section have to be restocked daily hahaha~"
Lol! The "Rooster" Mahjong card at dear's cousin's house. Its so faded that they used the marker to draw on the cat, rat, centipede and rooster and too bad I accidently deleted the others =x
That's all for now!

What phone to buy?
After months or maybe years of watching friends upgrading their phones to smart phones, android, droid, iphones etc, I was wondering "Am I still considered old fashion with my little Sony Ericssion W595?"
But given the fact that I wasn't earning enough for myself to spend a couple of years ago, and low salary, plus my craze for mangas and games, it didn't come as a surprise that I'm broke, month after month.
And now, with my contract ending in next month, I am looking at all these "high-end" phones, since I love to surf net wherever I go and of cos, Facebook.
However... The phones that I am interested in... Are almost impossible to obtain...
1) iphone 4 white
Image taken from http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/apple-confirms-white-iphone-4-available-spring-2011-06-12-2010/
Yup, white, not black. After dating my dear, my love for white stuff grows gradually. Unfortunately, this is one very very elusive phone. And the current price of it in black, be it at Singtel or M1, are at $480 with plan. Wondering is the white one same price?
Though there are rumors that it might be out next month, but when will it actually be out, your guess is as good as mine... Which brings me to the next phone...
2) iphone 5
Again, rumors said that this particular phone will be coming out on like June or July ( almost like the same date as the first iphone 4 hits the market ). This phone is said to have better functions & receptions, unlike iphone 3GS or iphone 4.
Most of my friends that uses iphone ( be it 3GS or 4 ) are complaining about the reception or the lack of it. Hopefully like the rumors, this phone is going to be better.
But the downside? Since its going to be a better phone and won't be out like in 4-5 months time ( and the date is still not exact yet ), if I am going to wait to buy for it, how much will it cost? How long will it take to arrive??? Uncertainties are not fun... So is waiting...
3) Blackberry 9800 Torch white
Image taken from http://cellphoneforums.net/att/t317704-t-launching-samsung-focus-htc-surround-nov-8;-red-white-torch-nov-7-a.html
Surprise that after 2 iphones consideration that I am thinking of Blackberry? But after looking at the picture, I don't think so right?
There's always something that I love better than white and that is white + silver! ( Just like my Fred Perry shirt that my dear bought for me! Loves him so~ Heehee and mine is cheaper than his Fred Perry shirt )
For this particular Blackberry, I had been considering it ( when I didn't know of the white existance. ) for quite sometime.
And just the day before, I was talking to Ying ( she and JW came over to "bai nian" ) about getting new phone and when I mentioned this, she replied "Oh, my elder brother is using it and his comment is this phone quite good to use."
After hearing that, makes me much more interested in getting the phone ( I prefer to get opinions from close/trusted friends rather than online reviews, for who knows? They might be scammers wanna-be )
Here comes my dilemma. I am thinking of switching from Singtel to M1 ( cos my dear is in M1 and M1 allows 3 free phone call lines to fellow M1 users ). Singtel is selling this in black for $598 ( with plan ) and M1 is selling $538 ( with plan ).
"So what's your dilemma? Go for M1!" most might just say something along this line to me.
But...
1) Singtel is having a $100 off selected Blackberry products and this is one of them and thus, reducing the price to $498.
So... Which phone to pick? Sigh...

Most of my friends that uses iphone ( be it 3GS or 4 ) are complaining about the reception or the lack of it. Hopefully like the rumors, this phone is going to be better.
But the downside? Since its going to be a better phone and won't be out like in 4-5 months time ( and the date is still not exact yet ), if I am going to wait to buy for it, how much will it cost? How long will it take to arrive??? Uncertainties are not fun... So is waiting...
3) Blackberry 9800 Torch white
Image taken from http://cellphoneforums.net/att/t317704-t-launching-samsung-focus-htc-surround-nov-8;-red-white-torch-nov-7-a.html
Surprise that after 2 iphones consideration that I am thinking of Blackberry? But after looking at the picture, I don't think so right?
There's always something that I love better than white and that is white + silver! ( Just like my Fred Perry shirt that my dear bought for me! Loves him so~ Heehee and mine is cheaper than his Fred Perry shirt )
For this particular Blackberry, I had been considering it ( when I didn't know of the white existance. ) for quite sometime.
And just the day before, I was talking to Ying ( she and JW came over to "bai nian" ) about getting new phone and when I mentioned this, she replied "Oh, my elder brother is using it and his comment is this phone quite good to use."
After hearing that, makes me much more interested in getting the phone ( I prefer to get opinions from close/trusted friends rather than online reviews, for who knows? They might be scammers wanna-be )
Here comes my dilemma. I am thinking of switching from Singtel to M1 ( cos my dear is in M1 and M1 allows 3 free phone call lines to fellow M1 users ). Singtel is selling this in black for $598 ( with plan ) and M1 is selling $538 ( with plan ).
"So what's your dilemma? Go for M1!" most might just say something along this line to me.
But...
1) Singtel is having a $100 off selected Blackberry products and this is one of them and thus, reducing the price to $498.
2) As far as I know ( I have yet gone to ask Singtel or M1 yet at this point! ), both Singtel and M1 do not have this in white.
And the 2) is the more problematic worry at the moment.So... Which phone to pick? Sigh...

My 1st catch!
Granted, I am very very exhausted by now ( from the morning shifting of stuff plus waking up early ) but I am soooo... excited!
This morning when I logged into MFO, I wasn't really thinking about catching the pet Battery Man. Nope, I was more on "Time to do dailies."
But after a while, I remembered dear wants a Battery Man ( he told me to catch 3 Baby Bats and a Human pet to get a "Bat 3 Man" =x ) so I was hunting high and low for it. And as I do not have previous experiance in catching pets ( the other pets are all caught by my dear ), naturally I messed up alot on my 1st catching of pet.
At last when I found it, I thought I could solo it but was faced with a few problems ( and all these need the region's ticket to enter the area that I can catch it ).
The difference in color showed how much my temper is rising. By the way
1st try - I forgot to change my pet skill... Ok... Restart.
2nd try - I was dying ( No... I did not use my seahorse but some other character's pet... ) so
restart again...
3rd try- I forgot to remove the necklace of reflect and thus the level 1 Battery Man, after it hit
me, it died... Restart ( getting a little angry here cos I used 3 tickets already )
4th try - I took 4 characters ( including my seahorse ) to capture it but... Forgotten to chance
skill + remove necklace... ( Smoke starting to coming out of my ears, nose, mouth etc )
On the 5th try, after I made sure I made no mistake ( by now about 30-40mins has gone by ), I tried to capture it using 1 decoy and 3 catchers. It looks furtile as round after round, my pets are all receiving damage, and the Battery Man seems to be gloating at me!!! Grr...
Then around the 10th round or so, the decoy died. Not much harm, except trying to move my dear's pet and another surviving pet behind my seahorse. Tried like 3-4 rounds before I realised my dear's pet can't be moved. Dotz to the max. So I just moved the other one in between my dear's pet and my seahorse. Still looking furtile by this time and tempted to just kill off that stupid robot that seems to be gloating in my face.
Started to chat with guildmates and somehow we got onto the topic of Pokemon ( cos I asked if causing damage on the Battery Man will make it any easier to capture and they replied it does not work like the way on Pokemon ).
Mind you, by now, I wasn't even paying attention to the mobs in front of me, only in the chatbox. I am dimly aware that my seahorse's life dropped to less than 50% but I still do the same thing before each round starts. Press Bronze capture card skill, aim at Battery Man and repeat for 2 more times and head back to the chat.
Then something finally happened ( and this is like after 1 hour since I first tried to solo it without my other 3 pets )!!! I was looking at the screen, pressed the capture card for the Round 24th but I couldn't locate the Battery Man in the screen O.o!!! Then I was wondering where it ran off to, cos I don't see the robot's "body" on the floor, as it usually would have if I accidently killed it.
So I hurriedly change from one screen's inventory to another, first my own pet's inventory, then my dear's and I finally found it on my 3rd pet's inventory!! Wheee!!! Success!!!
I told my guildmates about it and when they heard its the first time I tried to capture a pet ( and one that appears to be very difficult + time consuming ) they were stunned at first ( one claimed his 1st catch was clover and appeared noob compare to Battery Man's captured ) and congratulate me. Heh, they are being very sweet!
If not for Duckiee and Swy, accompanying me to talk about Pokemon, I would have probably killed the Battery Man out of fit of anger! And they gave me good advices ( like where to go and how to catch and the myth and theories and ways of catching that everyone developes heeheehee ).
So I saved 60-80 gold ( from buying the Battery Man ) and in return, I wasted an hour plus, 83-85 bronze catcher, my temper and one of the pet's life to get this little level 1 robot. Man, catching is tough =x

Happy Valentine's Day & Weekends & The Black Swan
Sorry for the lack of photos in all my blogs recently ( and this is going to be another one of those blogs ). I haven't been feeling well enough ( kk, that's partly excuse plus I am suffering from a serious case of procastination ) and last night my left knee choose to relapse and hurting me and thus... I am like a living zombie now...
With that aside, I am going to talk more on what I did on last weekend~ =p
Saturday basically was another anime day, but around 3pm ( or was it 4pm? ), Ray dear and me headed down to Chomp Pang ( In Yishun area ) for our lunch at one of the popular stalls.
He asked if I want wanton noodles or fried noodles and I said anything. So we headed to this stall that sells delicious fried bee hoon ( he picked the thicker noodle, kinda forget the name, with veggies and a sort of fish cake and fried egg ) and I had bee hoon with luncheon meat and fish cake.
Initially I was a little skeptical with the taste but after the first mouthful with the chilli sauce, I practically finished the whole plate without any complains nor leftovers hahaha... I am a extremely picky eater and the rainy weather was affecting my mood. But this delicious meal more than pick my mood up.
Not to mention my favorite drink, Bandung ice-blended, yums!!! Always thought I won't be able to taste this after the uncle in the Library Cafe in Ngee Ann Poly told me he's gonna stop making it cos its too expensive *sobs*
After that we went shopping for dear at both Chomp Pang and North Point before heading down to my cousins' place. Dear was not too keen, but he's sweet enough to follow me there as well as to make some conversation. We left from there to my niece, Jamie's house/masionette ( forget how to spell it and lazy to check up on it ) to see her hamsters. She's been looking for me for the whole Chinese New Year and due to the death of my Lizzy, I haven't been easy to locate by my relatives after the 1st day of CNY. So last Sat was like my 2nd "Official" appearance.
The masionette was pretty huge, heard from my cousin's wife that it cost like $500k when they bought it and their neighbours sold theirs for like $600k ++... That's a lot of money... But after the visiting and so on, dear and me headed home to rest for the night ( cos I was feeling a little weary ). Jamie cried when she knew I was leaving but she's adorable to run back and waved and shouted "Bye!" to me. Cute little 6 years old~
Yesterday was a little uneventful in the morning/afternoon. Dear did dailies in WOW and I did like 3-4 hours of dailies in MFO. Seriously sick of dailies. But as time reached near 2-3pm ( dear cooked noodles for me in the afternoon~ Yummy~ ) we had phone calls ringing on both of our phones. Bernard's looking for Ray to watch "The Black Swan" and Ying wants to meet me to eat ice-cream at Swensen as well as to visit my place.
We met Ying at Causeway Point's Swensen and ordered mushroom baked rice, Ying and JW ordered some fried combo thingy ( with calamari, shrimps, fish and fries ) and the four of us shared Earthquake, a 8 scoops of ice-creams in a big bowl, with nuts, chocolate fudge and cherries as toppings ( we had like 2 scoops of Sticky Chewy Chocolate, 2 scoops of Thin Mint, 1 Durian thingy *forget the name~*, 1 scoop of Cookie and Cream, 1 Rocky Mountain *Chocolate with mashmellow* and 1 scoop of Peanut buttercup thingy *forget name again~* ) The total bill came up to $56 or $57 and then we headed downstairs to accompany Ying to buy her v-day's gift ( JW offered to buy her a jewelry and she has to choose it ) before heading to AMK hub to meet Ray's friends.
We bought tickets for The Black Swan and headed for dinner at Black Pepper Lunch. I shared a Mountain Dew, a Chicken & Salmon combo and a caramel ice cream with dear ( yea we ate alot ). Before I watched the movie, I thought its going to be another typical ballet type movie ( well, I just skimmed through the plot, never really reading it before ) but halfway through the movie, I am hiding my eyes behind my hands.
It's very unpredictable and a very gory movie. Time and again you might see a little bit of blood here and a bit of gory there. It just send shivers down my spine. I can't watch it without gripping my dear's hands. But I must say, it definately given me more idea of what swanlake is about. I always thought ( from the briefly, almost non existance explanation from novels I read ) that its a story only about a Swan princess and a Prince.
I did not know its another sad story of dying over wrong love. Basically from the slight explanation done in the movie, I gather that Swanlake is a story about a girl who was turned into a white swan by a witch or sorceror and in order to break this curse, she need true love and just when she found her prince, he went and fell in love with the black swan. Or something like that.
But the way they portray this movie is so scary and psychotic that I am linking more to horror flim...
And after watching the movie, I don't know why or how, my left knee starts to hurt and now I am limping around at work ( should have stayed home... )...

It doesn't pay to get me infuriated
Apart from looking like an angry, fire breathing dragon, I am on a rampage to destroy.
What has awaken the otherwise hibernating fury within me?
My little sister's friend, that's who.
At 1.18pm, I received a sms from my sister's phone and it read "PIG =("
Now, most people would ask "Why don't you think its your sister who sent it to you?"
The answer is simple. Everyone in my house, and every relatives and friends that knows me, knew how terrifying it can get when I am in one of my nasty temper. ESPECIALLY my siblings. Therefore, they will not go against me if they can help it. Both my brother and sister had faced my wraith before and they know when angered, I meant business. That saying, I want vengence to be taken.
This retard that sent the message obviously don't know who he's dealing with. When I called, he not only refused to listen ( if he had, I probably won't be so mad now ) and said something along the line to my sis "Your sister can't do anything to me" within my hearing range on the other side of the freaking phone.
I swear I would probably have given him a tight slap across his face or punch him already or giving him one of my most famous incinerating glare.
Now, that being said, I don't give a damn if he's another 14, 15 or 16 years old kid who doesn't know the meaning of respect or rude. If he don't have manners, I am more than willing to instill that in him.
After much infuriating conversation to my sis, who became the middleperson ( and a lousy one at that, kept on telling her I will call the police and she kept on saying I will tell the principal, this is one of the days where I hate my silly sister's way of relying message and thus increasing the fire in me ), I found that stupid boy's name is Benjamin Po.
But when I called home ( many annoying times as well, since my mom is not much of help here ), my mum said its a gal who has been using my sister's phone.
Whatever the case is, I am soooo.... Not letting this go, yet. I am even willing to wake up early NEXT WEEK to go to my sister's school and find the principal if I can't get this settle soon.
No wonder my dad's been complaining about the high phone bill from my sis's phone. With friends like these, who needs leeches.
And all these have to happen on the 1st week after Lizzy's death.
All I can say is, Benjamin Po or whatever crap you are, you better watch out. I ain't letting this slide until I see you get something that only you deserved. And yes, I know who your form teacher is, I will be sure to inform her about it.

Is something good going to happen?
Well, I remembered having at least $20 or more in my wallet but they are missing. My only conclusion for that is "Is something going to happen since I am losing the money?"
Usually when I lost something, I always gained something and vice versa. And the reason why I remember so clearly was because I remember drawing out the money yesterday and my dear asked me to keep the money after I offered to pay for our dinner at Wendy's last night.
After that I don't remember taking my wallet out anymore.
So I see no reason how my money might go missing unless there's a theif in my office who goes to my bag and steal my money.
But why would they since they are definately earning more than me right?
Whatever the case is, I prefer to think of it as something good is going to happen.
Let's see how the rest of the day goes then.

Madly dead tired plus weird dreams
Other than feeling seasick ( Yea I am not kidding despite not being on sea, will explain more later ) and giddiness for the past few days, I have a weirdest dream to add to my record of "Weird things that happen to me for this past week" and its only Thursday...
Let's start from Monday then.
Monday ( Pardon the Monday Blue pun ) :
Was feeling pretty ill on Monday, slightly nauceous even before I even do anything. Went to see the doctor and he said I am having indigestion problems and therefore, had lots of 'gas' within my tummy. Gave me 4 medications, 1 for relief of swelling for my horrid cough that seems to last forever, 1 for relief for vommiting, 1 for abdominal cramp ( being in that time of the month ) and the last one which I vowed not to take anytime soon again after having serious consequences of consuming 1, which is laxative. (=.=)
Giving laxative to a person who often suffered from diarrhoea must be a huge joke. One does not need much knowledge to know where I spent most of my Monday at. Bascially, that's how my Monday went by...
Tuesday:
I was still suffering slightly from the effect of the laxative, disregarding the fact that I only took 1 pill in less than 24 hours before. But managed to reach work in time.
Tuesday at work seemed peaceful ( Almost dozed off during one of the meetings... Opps... ) and my tummy still pretty much in cooperation with me.
Just when I thought all was well, heavy rain struck. Not that I hate the rain but its what about to happen that left a bad taste in my mouth ( in more than 1 way ).
When taking bus home, the rain was so heavy that part of the bus route was flooded. Here comes the weird/funny part. I got seasick. Yup, I am not kidding. I got seasick on the bus that's moving through the flooded area. My vision seems to waver left and right, as if I am on a boat and I almost wanted to hurl.
It didn't get better when I got down the bus interchange to take another bus home. Met my brother who jokingly said "You can always hurl in front of you" The person who was sitting directly in front of me, face-to-face, was giving me a shocked look and seemed to want nothing more than alight the bus everytime I moaned I wanted to throw up. If I wasn't feeling so ill back then, I might probably be laughing at the hilarious shocked look on his face.
After alighting the bus, I still wasn't back to normal, and if anything, felt even worst. Took the medication ( with little or no effect ) and moaning while laying on the bed. After sometime, I finally dragged my seasick body to the bathroom and washed up. Felt a little better and by the time dear arrived, I am able to move about a little better.
Wednesday:
Woke up with the sense of nauceous still sticking to me like glue and barely able to make it to work cos of tummy pain. But at least I have worked to keep me busy till afternoon where they have this celebration for Chinese New Year that basically took like half of the afternoon away ( not complaining much except I am still not feeling well... )
Especially when the celebration was held in a non air-conditional area and the hot afternoon sun was beating down on everyone's back. Queue up the wrong side for food and waiting for the whole thing to end. Gotten a bad orange ( thankfully I am not an orange lover ) and thought was able to head home to nurse my already sick health.
End up I had to do a few more stuff before I can head home...
Thursday:
Like I mentioned before, woke up with a weird dream. Dreamt I was back in the place in Ang Mo Kio that I used to live ( on the other hand, it did not look exactly the same either ) .
In the dream I was running late for exam ( Was hoping to cramp in some study time before reaching the exam hall ) and was trying to decide if I want to take bus or cab to my exam hall. Saw my brother walking towards me and I asked what he's going to take. He replied that he's going to take the bus and he ran across the road and disappear through the blocks of HDB flats.
All the sudden, there's a huge crowd surrounding me, all seemed to be waiting for cab as well. When I tried to flag a cab, they tried to do the same thing, but none of the cabs seems to be willing to stop.
In the end I gave up and lugged my heavy backpack ( I have no~ idea why is the backpack so freaking heavy and why I am carry such a huge bag ) across the road in hope to catch up to my brother. Apparently the crowd had the same idea and it became a sort of race.
After crossing the road and the first few blocks of HDBs, there came a little hill of sands in the middle of the carpark. I tried to climb up but due to the heavy weight of the backpack, I was unable to get a good grip and kept on sliding back to the floor. I gave up and tried to run round the hill of sands instead.
There follow by another steep cement slope. By then my arms and legs are aching from the heavy weight but still I held on the iron railings at the side and tried to pull myself up. Sheesh... What a tiring dream this turns out to be... Somewhere between this "race", I found myself thinking "Why didn't I follow Ken ( my brother ) when I had the chance to?? At least I will have someone to help me with this bag... And now I not only have to worry about not able to finish studying for the exam, I have to worry about not reaching at all!!!"
Weird dreams eh? There's more. After I woke up ( it was 7am ) and head back to bed, I dreamt I was at a shopping area in the old Ang Mo Kio Central. Then I realised I have to go to a party but the only shoes I had on were the white BATA lookalike shoes that I only wear at work!
Strange isn't it? Since in the dream I am already in a pretty gown and so on. Then I went on a frantic craze trying to buy a pair of decent looking shoes. And just when I found a couple of the heels ( in Courts at that, isn't it weird? Courts only sell furnitures in real life! OMG~ Crazy dream... ) guess what? They cost like 3700 pounds or more. =.=" That is like almost 8k SGD or more lol!!!
After that I sort of woke up... Who can sleep through with such dreams?
Right now feeling so... dead tired plus a little bit of sore throat and nauceous feeling. But I can't go home immediately for I made plans with Ying already... Pray for the weekends to come by soon... Not sure if I can withstand till then...
Let's start from Monday then.
Monday ( Pardon the Monday Blue pun ) :
Was feeling pretty ill on Monday, slightly nauceous even before I even do anything. Went to see the doctor and he said I am having indigestion problems and therefore, had lots of 'gas' within my tummy. Gave me 4 medications, 1 for relief of swelling for my horrid cough that seems to last forever, 1 for relief for vommiting, 1 for abdominal cramp ( being in that time of the month ) and the last one which I vowed not to take anytime soon again after having serious consequences of consuming 1, which is laxative. (=.=)
Giving laxative to a person who often suffered from diarrhoea must be a huge joke. One does not need much knowledge to know where I spent most of my Monday at. Bascially, that's how my Monday went by...
Tuesday:
I was still suffering slightly from the effect of the laxative, disregarding the fact that I only took 1 pill in less than 24 hours before. But managed to reach work in time.
Tuesday at work seemed peaceful ( Almost dozed off during one of the meetings... Opps... ) and my tummy still pretty much in cooperation with me.
Just when I thought all was well, heavy rain struck. Not that I hate the rain but its what about to happen that left a bad taste in my mouth ( in more than 1 way ).
When taking bus home, the rain was so heavy that part of the bus route was flooded. Here comes the weird/funny part. I got seasick. Yup, I am not kidding. I got seasick on the bus that's moving through the flooded area. My vision seems to waver left and right, as if I am on a boat and I almost wanted to hurl.
It didn't get better when I got down the bus interchange to take another bus home. Met my brother who jokingly said "You can always hurl in front of you" The person who was sitting directly in front of me, face-to-face, was giving me a shocked look and seemed to want nothing more than alight the bus everytime I moaned I wanted to throw up. If I wasn't feeling so ill back then, I might probably be laughing at the hilarious shocked look on his face.
After alighting the bus, I still wasn't back to normal, and if anything, felt even worst. Took the medication ( with little or no effect ) and moaning while laying on the bed. After sometime, I finally dragged my seasick body to the bathroom and washed up. Felt a little better and by the time dear arrived, I am able to move about a little better.
Wednesday:
Woke up with the sense of nauceous still sticking to me like glue and barely able to make it to work cos of tummy pain. But at least I have worked to keep me busy till afternoon where they have this celebration for Chinese New Year that basically took like half of the afternoon away ( not complaining much except I am still not feeling well... )
Especially when the celebration was held in a non air-conditional area and the hot afternoon sun was beating down on everyone's back. Queue up the wrong side for food and waiting for the whole thing to end. Gotten a bad orange ( thankfully I am not an orange lover ) and thought was able to head home to nurse my already sick health.
End up I had to do a few more stuff before I can head home...
Thursday:
Like I mentioned before, woke up with a weird dream. Dreamt I was back in the place in Ang Mo Kio that I used to live ( on the other hand, it did not look exactly the same either ) .
In the dream I was running late for exam ( Was hoping to cramp in some study time before reaching the exam hall ) and was trying to decide if I want to take bus or cab to my exam hall. Saw my brother walking towards me and I asked what he's going to take. He replied that he's going to take the bus and he ran across the road and disappear through the blocks of HDB flats.
All the sudden, there's a huge crowd surrounding me, all seemed to be waiting for cab as well. When I tried to flag a cab, they tried to do the same thing, but none of the cabs seems to be willing to stop.
In the end I gave up and lugged my heavy backpack ( I have no~ idea why is the backpack so freaking heavy and why I am carry such a huge bag ) across the road in hope to catch up to my brother. Apparently the crowd had the same idea and it became a sort of race.
After crossing the road and the first few blocks of HDBs, there came a little hill of sands in the middle of the carpark. I tried to climb up but due to the heavy weight of the backpack, I was unable to get a good grip and kept on sliding back to the floor. I gave up and tried to run round the hill of sands instead.
There follow by another steep cement slope. By then my arms and legs are aching from the heavy weight but still I held on the iron railings at the side and tried to pull myself up. Sheesh... What a tiring dream this turns out to be... Somewhere between this "race", I found myself thinking "Why didn't I follow Ken ( my brother ) when I had the chance to?? At least I will have someone to help me with this bag... And now I not only have to worry about not able to finish studying for the exam, I have to worry about not reaching at all!!!"

In loving memories...My darling Lizzy...
This year Chinese New Year isn't going as well as I thought it might be.
I'd say the first day of CNY ( or at least the morning ) was alright, in fact I attracted lots of attentions on the bus or while walking and definately surprised all my relatives ( most did not recognise me at the first sight ) due to my wig.
But eventually, before the CNY can end, the one left most surprised... Was me...
On CNY I did noticed my Lizzy was not feeling well and it wasn't till I saw how weak ( and I have no idea that she would get weaker as time goes on ) Lizzy became that I got worried.
Lizzy, aka Elizabeth Lim, is my Brown Velvet Chinchilla. I 'rescued' her about 5 years back from a shop that was taking poor care of her. Back then, they called her Brownie ( Seriously, can't they pick a better name? ) and I doubt they know what breed she was ( Neither do I at the point of time ).
Anyway, it aches my heart to see her in such poor condition that on the spot, I paid $150 for her. Her fur was shedding like mad, she has dried skin flakes and slight fungal infection. In short, she was in a very very bad condition. I brought her to Pat and Cat of House of Chinchilla and that's where I knew what breed she was and how much she's worth ( around $800 at that time, should have increased quite a bit right now ).
Immediately brought her for a check up at Mt. Pleasant Clinic nearby and slowly but surely, nursed her back to health. Back then I think she was around 4 months old or so. And I learnt that she was not one easy chinchilla to care for.
I let her stay with Roxy, my late female Sapphire chinchilla ( whom passed away pretty shortly ) and Alex ( a violet boy ). After Roxy passed away ( she went a little crazy and bit Alex till his leg was bleeding and after I placed her in a seperate cage, she died ), Lizzy and Alex had 3 kits, Alexander, Alexandra and Alice ( she's still with me now ).
But all these happened before I quarreled with the friend ( whose was housing the chinchillas that we bought/adopted etc ) and I took Lizzy, Alice, Dusk and Shadow with me.
And since then, I tried my best to provide everything I could for them, caring for them when sick and giving them food, treats, toys, bath and so on. Lizzy was the only chinchilla out of the 4 who like water bath and hated dust bath. She's also a little fighter, often pushing my hand away when I reached into the cage for her. If after repeated of her pushing my hand away and I still insist, she would bite me like saying "No, I don't want to be carried out!"
So back to 1st day of CNY... I called Cat and told her of Lizzy's condition and she suggested I get medication from Pat. I was worried, was tearing, resolving not to breakdown while I see my baby getting weak. My brother pushed me, shouted at me to hurry, to save her, to get her medication. To which I realised I can't delay and rushed down, took a cab to Pat and back home.
Lizzy swallowed the medication, and even ate a little bit. I was relieved and thought she might recover but my joy was short-lived.
The next day, she was breathing heavily, and her little heart pounding fast. I tried to feed her, she refused to eat. I carried her but she was limp, very weak, in my hands. I cried. Asked her to live, for me, and that I would do anything for her. That I would buy a new cage, would get her better food and toys. But she did not respond. She lay there, eyes half closed, and getting weaker at each passing seconds.
I was sobbing, crying, going crazy. I did not know what to do. Called Cat, and she told me if Lizzy stop eating, it meant her internal organs were starting to fail and I am losing her and I have to let her go. After Cat hung up, I was holding Lizzy closed to me and cried. I don't want to lose her. She's my little fighter.
I called Ray dear but during the long hour before he reached, I was already crying buckets, heart aching, memories flashing, left eyelid twitched ( a very very bad sign ). I tried to tell my brother but he was busy, yet he managed to rush home.
My wish at the moment was to control time. To turn back and save her when I could. Or hope I am able to cure every illness. Or maybe if, if I can take her place in suffering instead, and not being so helpless...
Ray dear was shocked to see me like that. I think he never seen me behaving this way before. But he never gave up. He asked me to fight, for her. We tracked down and decided to go to Mt. Pleasant Hospital. He made a few calls and finally his sister agreed to fetch us there with help from her bf.
On the way there, I admit, my hope was raised. I was praying time was not against me. When we reached, I told them, "My pet is dying" and she was whisked away from me by 3 people. I thought she could be saved.
Then, what seemed like a long wait, I was asked to step in. The doctor said "She has uteral infection, suspected tumor ( pointed and asked me to feel the tumor ) or cancer. If she is to undergo surgery, there's only 10% success chance. But she may die, before, during or after the surgery. There's a chance of her illness relapse. And cos she is 5 years old already, we do not encourage aggressive approach to save her... If she is my chinchilla, I rather give her mercy killing..."
I watched Lizzy, she could have just been sleeping, except for the oxygen mask she's breathing on. I was anything but calm. I cried hysterically and stopped just as sudden. Then I cried again. God knows how long I repeated this. I ran out of the room to make my decision. Ray called me but I ran past him till I was at the carpark. I need to think.
I lost Dawn ( a male chinchilla, Dusk's brother ) to mercy killing a couple of years back. Different situation, but similiar choices. Low success rate of surgery. May relapse. Recommand mercy killing to end their sufferings.
Ray, upon knowing what's wrong, asked if I want to try all possible means to save her. I was in confusion. I want to save her, I want her live, but I don't want to make her suffer. We went back and asked for a quotation if we were to do surgery. They said they need to stabalise her if want to operate her. The whole thing is going to cost us at least $800. And once again reminded us that she may not live.
I cried everytime I see her, I stroke her and asked for time to be alone, just Lizzy and me. I talked to her, but not sure if she knew. Time and again, I wish, I was the one who's suffering and not her. In the end, I called my brother and he said to let her go for he don't wish to let her suffer anymore. True, the one whose left living will always be the one who suffer.
Then the dreaded decision was made. I had to let her go. I insisted on accompany her, all the way. I did not do it for Dawn. I got to do it for Lizzy. I had to send her off.
The doctor tried twice, to inject the horrid liquid in her through the veins in her ears. But she failed. Then she said "If the 3rd try fail, we might try to operate and inject it directly to her heart." I sweared if they did that, I would be more unstable and god knows what I might do to the doctor. Ray did not want me to see it but I refused to budge.
My darling Lizzy was struggling a little and I was given false hope that she might be well. But I remembered her condition and cried more. The doctor said usually they ( the one given the mercy killing to ) would not struggle but Lizzy did. My little fighter to the end...
The 3rd try, they got it and there she lays. Still looking like she's sleeping. I can't see a thing. Vision blurred by tears. Blindly followed to wherever they carried my Lizzy to. Sat in the room. Talked to her. Cried. Staring at her. Cried. And I can't remember anything anymore except dear's sis came in and went out. And dear sort of got me out for he say I might not leave if he don't get me out. Deep down, I knew he was right. And part of me died on the same day.
Dear's been accompanying me since, cheering me up, showing me that I still need to care for Shadow, Dusk and Alice. They knew she's gone and from the teary look of their innocent faces, its no doubt they might be blaming me as well. It's been 4 days since her death, but not once did I not teared when I am thinking of her. Not once have I stopped wishing, that I can take her place... Every waking moment reminding me that she's not with me, that I have 3 babies now instead of 4.
If it hasn't been for Ray with me, I may not be able to face people at all. All I wanted to do was to hide at home and cry my eyes out, till tears run dry. But he won't allow that. He made sure somehow I am getting over. The pain hurts but starting to be a bit more bearable. I thought I might not made it through, but he lead me through.
Some people might not be able to relate by saying "This is just an animal, why should you be so emotional?"
Get this, they are not just animals. They are my friends, my kids. They accompanied me when I am down, gave me hope when I felt I am lost. Calms me down when I am angered. Console me when I am upset.
Now imagine this, if your child, really, I do mean if you are a parent, and your child has died, will you not be emotional?
Please don't speak rubbish without thinking through. They are almost like my real kids and I am their furless mummy. I cared for them when they are young ( imagine waking up every hour on the dot for weeks to hand feed them, feeding them medication when they are ill, worry that they might not have enough to eat or drink or if they got too hot, smiling whenever they shown me something new, just having them to cuddle up to me when they are scared, proudly showing them off to my friends like every parent would with their children ) and if you said they are just mere animals, I might just beat you up for that. Even if they are mere animals ( to which I'd still beat you first ) at least they have more feeling than most people, at least they know what love is and of cos, not as heartless as most of the people that I have read in the news and those that have not yet been reported for beating up their love ones or trying to get them kill or something along the line.
I'd say the first day of CNY ( or at least the morning ) was alright, in fact I attracted lots of attentions on the bus or while walking and definately surprised all my relatives ( most did not recognise me at the first sight ) due to my wig.

Mixed feelings
I know its the first day of Chinese New Year, and started pretty well... So why am I now semi upset?
Cos one of my darling chinchillas, Lizzy, has fallen ill. In fact she's so weak, I am not sure how to handle her...
Cat said she suspected its vaginal infection and if left untreated or not treated in time, Lizzy will die. I froze but only recover when my brother started yelling at me to be fast.
I... can't remember when was the last time I saw my chinchillas died before me.
So... Why do I remember the pain so well? The lost of Roxy, Silver, Dusk, Dawn, Sweetie and so much more ( even Noby had left early this year... ), the overwhelming sensation...
Some people say "They are just pets and if you can't handle, you shouldn't be taking care of them at all."
But they are more than that. They comforted me when I was sad. They calmed me down when I was mad. The joy and happiness of training them to do something for the first time, its almost like they are my kids. They ARE my darlings. My babies. How would you feel to see your child died?
Tears still do threaten to overwhelm me whenever I think of my passed away darlings, especially Devi, whom I had taken an extra fond liking to. He's my little coward, my little darling.
Only those who have pets and feelings for their pets before will understand what I am going through.
Unfortunately, the ones that I hoped might understand don't and the ones I don't want to does.
The world is that warped.

Super touched...~
Sob sob~ I am super super touched... Not by any Korean or Taiwan or Japanese drama lar =x
You see, I always thought I was pretty insignificant in my brief stay in NTU ( yea yea, I quit, so what? Got lots of problems to handle at that time and leaving "seems" to be the best decision back then... Right now I wished I have begged and tried suicide if they make me leave, just kidding, but serious on the staying part. ) as I can't remember how many lessons that I actually turn up ( except for practical which I am proud to say, I turned up for almost, if not, all of the lessons! ). Therefore, I do not expect anyone to even remember me there ( maybe not all but some people from the dance sport might say "Eh? I remember that time still got this person dancing with us till midnight... Forget the name le..." ).
But surprises of the surprises! It's not the people from the dancesport ( with exception of Yeye, Xi Ci, Slyvia jie and Connie jie~ Though I haven't meet either of them for a long time as well) that asked to meet me for dinner... It's *drum rolls~* Zi Qi & Si Qi!!! =) Super happy lol!!!
I must admit that they are the only ones that leaves a much deeper impression on me other than the people in dancesport ( basically when you mentions NTU, I was teleported back into the dance halls in hall 7 or is it 9? And the hilltop place where we held the dance lessons etc... ).
So when they asked to meet me for dinner on Monday ( like 2 days ago ), I agreed and brought my best friend, Ying along~
They haven't change much, except Si Qi is much more slimmer than I last seen her ( not kidding ok! She really slim down, not saying it out of courtesy or whatever you are thinking of ). It's like almost 4 years since I last seen them...
Went to Junction 8 for dinner at Swensens, the food was not bad, but I had quite a full lunch therefore wasn't in much mood for food =p
Naturally we catch up on what happen these few years ( surprisingly Ying and Si Qi working for the same company hahaha~ ) and then Si Qi said "Wah... Back then don't see Audrey and Karen having long hair and dance latin dance... They are pretty tomboyish lol!"
Upon hearing that, a weird sense of beam of pride swell within me. I am not a weakling k?!! Heh heh... And she went on reminising the times we were doing project for our DIP ( something about design invention project or there about, forget the name le ) and how Karen and I insisted to be on the hardware team =p It was a part of my NTU life that I enjoyed but have kept in the back of my mind ( covering in dust lol ) after I left.
And we talked about how Zi Qi was my lab partner and the projects we had to do. I almost forget the both of their surnames are Lim as well heh heh... ( Maybe our ancestors are the same from wayyyyyyyy back? =p Does that make them my siblings then? Heehee... )
But yea... All these years I thought no one from my classes in NTU would probably remember me, and now I have not 1 but 2 friends who does remember me. How can I not feel so touched?
And this year marks the 20th Anniversary for Ying and me! For knowing and being best friends for so long, how cool is that!!! For those who are like in the 40s or 50s or higher, if you say 20 years is nothing, well get this. We are turning 26 this year. So that means we met when we were 6. If we reached your age, that means we would have been friends for like 40 years or more. Heh, beat that!
But Ying's the one who always look for me ( heh heh... I am the lazy ones ) throughout these years. I mean had she not done that, we would have lost contact ( horrifying thoughts! Shoo Shoo~! )
I have been blessed to know many good friends ( Like the people I mentioned above, and Lyvi and Catty and Nini and so much more ). And I hope to cherish them and know more friends! ( I am soo greedy =p But one can never have too much good friends. You can only have too much enemies =x )
You see, I always thought I was pretty insignificant in my brief stay in NTU ( yea yea, I quit, so what? Got lots of problems to handle at that time and leaving "seems" to be the best decision back then... Right now I wished I have begged and tried suicide if they make me leave, just kidding, but serious on the staying part. ) as I can't remember how many lessons that I actually turn up ( except for practical which I am proud to say, I turned up for almost, if not, all of the lessons! ). Therefore, I do not expect anyone to even remember me there ( maybe not all but some people from the dance sport might say "Eh? I remember that time still got this person dancing with us till midnight... Forget the name le..." ).
But surprises of the surprises! It's not the people from the dancesport ( with exception of Yeye, Xi Ci, Slyvia jie and Connie jie~ Though I haven't meet either of them for a long time as well) that asked to meet me for dinner... It's *drum rolls~* Zi Qi & Si Qi!!! =) Super happy lol!!!
I must admit that they are the only ones that leaves a much deeper impression on me other than the people in dancesport ( basically when you mentions NTU, I was teleported back into the dance halls in hall 7 or is it 9? And the hilltop place where we held the dance lessons etc... ).
