Comms Ball 22nd March
Preparations for comms ball were nervous mad dashes from the hair salon to qiling's house, then finally to Shangri la hotel. qiling's makeup was done in a record 15 minutes i think. 10 whole minutes were devoted to curling her lashes. i realised qiling has darn long lashes (god's gift/compensation for her small eyes haha)
peh zhen hao and qiling. qiling apparently is not going to blog about comms ball so i am guessing this will be the only photo that you guys will see.
Wei Lun's pre-birthday celebration 23rd March
that shameless birthday boy came and asked me when we were going to celebrate his birthday. apparently we had to book him or he would be unavailable haha.
the gang met at bukit timah food market initially. as usual i was late, so when i came, i decided to wait for them at the HDB blocks behind. there, i met this old lady who was carrying this huge bag of groceries. she seemed to be walking with a limp and she was sort of like struggling with her bag. and so since i was waiting, i decided to help her carry the bag to her house. the funny thing was she kept talking to me in hokkien. besides trying desperately to understand her, i had to answer her in hokkien with my severely limited hokkien vocabulary. but i am guessing it doesn't matter because she really just wants someone's company. it's amazing how we could sort of understand each other. in the end, she wanted to give me her potted plant. when i declined politely, she then insisted i have some sweets before i go. i think incidents like this makes you realise how the world can be a much better place, if we just reach out to people. i can't deny that initially i was hesitant about actually approaching the old lady to help her, out of fear that she would scold me or something. lucas even said she might have abducted me or something. but at the end of the day, i am happy that i did that. i can't say i made her day, but she definitely made my day.
so anyways, this is weilun's present.
daniel can jolly well join weilun in the "i am weird" club hahaha
wii playing. i heard yanru has sore arms because of all the wii sports exercising. weilun's signature pose
can u guess what daniel was doing? haha
Happy 20th LUNpee!

a mail from a friend
Comes the Dawn:
After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean learning And company doesn't mean security. And you begin to understand that kisses aren't contracts And presents aren't promises, And you begin to accept your defeats With your head held high and your eyes wide open. With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child. You learn to build your roads On today because tomorrow's ground Is too uncertain for plans, and futures have A way of falling down in midflight. After awhile you learn that even sunshine Burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate Your own soul, instead of waiting For someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure, That you really are strong. And you really do have worth. And you learn and learn... and you learn With every goodbye you learn.
Hope this will inspire you. Smile :)
thanks, i needed that.

oh my goodness, today is officially my busiest day ever. i almost forgot how it feels like to be running here and there, do this and that.
so anyways yesterday was mavis's dance performance at ntu. the SOP gang minus weilun was out in full force to support our dancer in disguise. (all these years i never thought mavis could dance) i bought sunflower for mavis but i left it in the fridge and forgot all about it.... end up reaching home around 1 plus, even though mum already asked for me to reach home early since we would be heading out early the next day.
" tml i have to go see my late ah ma....."
that was the sms i sent qiling when i came home. HAHA and she thought i was going to kill myself, so she called me immediately. when actually i was just going to the mandai crematory to pay my respects to my late ah ma since it's Good Friday. i wonder why qiling took my words so literally anyway.
qiling's date for commissioning ball is darn funny. shopping with them was hilarious.
after they left, i went shopping myself. and i actually bumped into my relatives on the way to my car. so embarrassing. as usual, relatives love to ask questions and i love to avoid answering questions. so i behaved in a way that said ' i am kind of in a rush?" therefore it was expected that my aunt asked me why i was in a rush. i just told her (with a straight face nonetheless), that i was rushing home to get my homework done. the funniest thing was they actually fell for it!
note to self: check cashcard value before exiting carpark. there might not be an uncle behind my car to come forward and lend me a cashcard the next time.
i love shopping. they call this retail therapy. and so it is.
Monday, March 17, 2008 @ 10:55 PM
i think people ought to be honest with each other. cause sometimes you might think that you are protecting someone from being hurt. but actually not telling the person will result in the person being hurt even more.
so if there's any bad thing that i should know, tell me now. before i go ahead and make a fool of myself. again.

alexandra road where are you?
i think vivo has something against me or maybe i have something against vivo. either way, it's bad. it's a curse. no doubt about it, somehow one way or another, i will get lost.
so a trip down to vivo with ziyi, weihui, xinyu and two other strangers (xinyu's friends) was a desperate attempt to search for U-turns and trying to overtake fully loaded (and highly flammable) lorries. One wrong turn was all it took for us to find ourself on Keppel road heading towards Tanjong Pagar, Kallang or whatever. and it didn't help that i felt so apologetic towards the two strangers. plus the fact that one of them was from my faculty AND she didn't recognise me! so much for being so tall.
when we finally reached vivo, thank goodness we were not late for the movie. oh yea Step Up 2, the streets is amazing. it's way way way cool. awesome ;) weihui, xinyu and i were all gushing over the actor.
i cannot fathom how the three of us had to sit at the 4th row from the front, while ziyi and kian siong get to sit way back at the last row.
note to self: xinyu has bad taste in guys.

face down in the dirt she says this doesn't hurt she says 'i finally had enough'
@ 12:34 PM
i feel that i have been trying very very hard for the past few months to be a better friend, a better person, everything.
but somehow it seems that no matter how much i try, it's never going to be enough isn't it?
everything i do is wrong wrong wrong. some things i personally feel that i cannot really help it, it's out of my control, but i still persist in making an effort to keep everything in check. i am trying, but somewhere along those lines, i lost myself. i stopped thinking about myself because of the people around me and yet i am still blamed for not doing enough, for not being deserving.
honestly i don't know what to do anymore.
i am not perfect, but somehow i want to be.
i want to make everyone happy, tell me how to.

monday blues
today's a bad day.
rushed down to school, got the same old problem with parking. next time i shall bring white paint and paint over the season parking red lots.
then when i finally got to my classroom, i was 15 minutes late for a tutorial that only lasts say 45minutes.
before i barged in notoriously late once again, i decided to take a peak. thank goodness i peaked, because the small group of people in there were obviously not my econs tutorial classmates. plus in the place of my mousy and eager tutor was a middle-aged balding man.
puzzled, i retraced a few steps and took a good look at the class number. block E1A-3-05. nah i was definitely in the right place. but something definitely was wrong. but i guess i could not be bothered and so i left.
went over to doby gaut only to get fined again at the ERP gantry because my stupid cashcard just won't work when i need it to work. (when i don't need it to work, it will just beep on and give me a scare in the process) At the second gantry i passed, i decided to hold the cashcard down while driving with my other free hand until i pass the gantry and hear the unmistakable beep of value being deducted.
then was the waiting for parking again. parking at prinsep street is horrible. i waited for quite long and i was very convinced i was going to die from the carbon monoxide seeping in as i left my car stationary for way too long.
and then viola a miracle happened, and i got a parking space only to find that i did not have coupons anymore. at this point, i was really desperate and decided to park at the neighboring sunshine plaza which has a cashcard payment parking.
finally happy to leave the car, i walked all the way to PS. while i was at the basement to withdraw money, i was shocked to find my atm card gone. i decided to go back to my car to find my card. actually looking back, i guess i was surprisingly calm at that point.
thankfully, my card was in my car. and so i walked back. just in time to meet up with the guys for lunch at cafe cartel.
but then, the cheap lunch set was sold out, so alex wanted to go mind cafe to eat instead.
so gosh i had to walk all the way back again. i think the only good thing about today was the playing boardgames part at mind.
but the day ended on a bad note, because when i left at 6, i realised my parking fee at sunshine plaza was a grand total of $12.00 i think.
pretty sure i used up a month's supply of bad luck in just one day. yanru i need to borrow the shirt i bought you that says 'i hate mondays'

xinyu's 20th at Giraffe
it's always so easy to remember xinyu's birthday because it coincides with guides' thinking day. not that i am a great fan of those past guiding days, in fact i do hate those days so very much.
and so xinyu's birthday was a mad rush of preparation on the day itself. the birthday girl had to actually wait for me to spring the surprise on her. how very surprising ;)
hope you love your new red chomel bag xinyu.
that night at weilun's house after giraffe dinner and drinks, i remember zhimin telling weilun to grab something from my car. when weilun couldn't find it, i vaguely heard zhimin saying, 'it's beside the chanel bag'. that got me all worked up, thinking why on earth would there be a chanel bag in my car without me realising. haha turns out he meant the chomel bag and not the chanel bag. all together now-cheyyyyyy
weilun is weird- i am sure you guys all agree with me on this. haha
Wednesday, March 05, 2008 @ 8:23 PM
i hated my hair
and so i went to the hairdresser, all prepared to cut away my long hair. but no i didn't leave the place with short hair.
why? cause mum said so. that's why.
not that i listened to her, but the hairdresser won't listen to me??
sigh shouldn't have brought her along.
so hair is still a little longer than shoulder length. it's rebonded with short bangs.
@ 8:12 PM
so what's new
bummer. i reversed straight into my bicycle (which was placed there by the part time maid WHY did she put it there man) and sent it crashing.
before you start questioning my alertness or even my qualification to be driving on the roads, can i plead that i was late for history tutorial(my tutor refuses to mark attendance if i am late) and my music was blasting way too loudly for me to hear the reverse sensor. apparently my reverse sensor was beeping like crazy, maybe i thought it was some accompanying background rhythm.
sigh ok la it's my fault. short people please don't walk behind my car. (i am not discriminating, i am just saying)
Monday, March 03, 2008 @ 4:41 AM
