Got ingredient?

Being a person of substance, of calibre(a degree or grade of excellence or worth)

In Hokkien.. It means "got ingredient".. "ooh liao"

Sigh.. After experiencing a very disappointing episode.. This is the conclusion.

If a woman marries a man of high calibre, she "tan dieo".."benefits greatly from the union"

If a woman marries a man of a lower calibre than she is, she "CHIAM!".."die lah"

To a woman, calibre means a lot. I didn't understand why most guys can be smitten with just looks alone and nothing much else. Until, a very wise lady made that Hokkien statement.

So.. You got ingredient?

All in the name of VANITY

I want to SCREAAAAAAAMMMMMMM!!!!!

It's sooo painful. I wore my heels [it's not really high(4cm?)]

Remember my new jeans? I wore it today. It's too long even after folding it. Soo.. I wore heels. I didn;t want to drag my jeans on the floor. In the end.. I ended up dragging myself home.

It's soo painful, excruciating. Excruciatingly intense pain!! Haha..

Ai swee, mai mia (want to be pretty, don't want life)[Chinese dialect]

Shopping Spreeeeeee

These are my last words before mommy dearest wakes up..

I exceeded my cash limit today($200..?) Sigh..

Initially, it was just a pair of jeans! My current Levi's was with me for 6 YEARS!!! But good times don't last.. It wore out, I out grew it.. the seams split! Wahahahahahahah...

Salesgal: Is this all?

Me: Wait.. I want to look around..

I was recalling what my mom said wore out.. And I got them..ALL! Cash was flowing out fast...!!
+Lingerie
+Tank tops + cushion(It was just too kawaii!!)
+Tees
+Jeans!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Goodbye... this could well be my last entry..

A "Brand-New" Laptop

D: Eww.. Your laptop is brown.. What did you do to it?

Me: Nothing.

D: Precisely. Go and clean it.

My brother whipped out his cleaning foam and cloth (machiam... I only heard of shaving foam lor..)

D: You know how to use?

Me: No... ??? Know?

D: Shake the bottle. Spray and wipe in circular motions.

I wiped... and did a whole lot more.

D: Aiyo... how can you wipe the touch pad so hard? Machiam.. Your laptop won't last for the next 5 years.

Aiya.. I dunno how to wipe properly la! I promptly gave up. Gave him back the bottle of foam.

Well... after much cajoling.. I was back to wiping individual keys.

TA-DAH!!! A "brand new" laptop!!!

E424

It's a brand new start
Where changes abound
I cried, I teared
I had to let go

It's time to move on
A place where people come
The beginnings of dreams

It's a DREAM centre
Possible impossibilities
A GREAT God we have
We're His DREAM team!

The Wonders of Olfaction

The human tongue can only distinguish among 7-8 distinct types of taste, while the nose can distinguish among hundreds of substances, even in minute quantities. Olfaction amplifies the sense of taste.

Step One: Drink some water amd rid your taste buds of any lingering taste.


Step Two: Pinch the nose real hard so that it cannot detect any aromas...

Step Three: Get READY the mystery food substance.

Step Four: Pop it into your mouth!


I couldn't tell what it was that was in my mouth. My taste buds seemed to fail me.. Until...


I stopped pinching my nose. Ahh... barbeque sauce! Gee.. no wonder food taste sooo bland when my nose is blocked. I love you, nose.. Wahahahahaha..

This has replaced tv.

crash 'n' burn

My whole body aches..











Wahahahahahahahahaa!!! I caught you! Did I?

I went to Sentosa yesterday! With my new cg. Hmm.. We were supposed to meet at 10 am. I woke up at 10 plus..*OppS* There was no time to waste.

This was my first time roaming around Sentosa. I'm not particularly good at directions. Actually Sentosa does have a pretty good transport system. It has a terminal where you can change from bus to beach tram. I boarded the wrong tram and got a lil' lost. Whahahahahahaha!

It was a GREAT workout!

+"frolicking" in the water

+Volleyball (the few few few balls that I manged to hit end up out of the court!)

Hahaha.. I loved every moment of it!

Now's the crucial part!!!

+chair lift... or is it the skyride? Anyway it's the metal bench you sit on and it's pretty high up.

Then it started to rain. By the time we got down... It started to pour..

+LUGE!!!!! It's like Go-Kart without wheels! It's pouring.. My eyes can't open cos' the raindrops are pelting at me. Waaa.. super SHIOK!

I was really reckless... Alvin, who was in front of me kept on telling me to slow down. Hmm.. hehe.. I came in first! Yea!!

Super fun!! I wanna go back there again.. Will you treat me? Wahahahahahahahaha...

My body hurts..Argh.

Haha.. It's not dandruff!

Mommy was seeing things...

.::white specks::.

Today... in fact.. just now

Mom: Girl, what's that? (combing her fingers through my hair)
Me: Huh? What...?
Mom: Those white specks...Dandruff!
Me: ...
Mom: You haven't been washing your hair properly. You sleep with you hair wait. Scratch it..it'll go away!
Me: ?

I went to the mirror. Trying to spot the dandruff. Where?

Haha. I've got dandruff.. Help?

Mom: It's definitely not the shampoo..
Me: (without listening) Should I change the shampoo?
Mom: I told you.. it's not the shampoo...

Help! I've got dandruff.

First impression

Haha.. actually this entry doesn't have anything to do with this picture. This is Clarice from church. She's very sweet...:D

Hmm, let's look at first impressions.

As a teacher, I'm very biased. Haha. If the lil' kid is mischievious...the lil' kid will DREAD to see me. A long time ago.. I was and now still is very mischievious.

As a student, I'm SUPER DUPER biased. Haha. I have very high expectations of my tutor(which is really unfair...to the teacher) I attended my first sociology tutorial earlier last month. It was a "merry-go-round" tutorial. The discussions went on... and on...and on... in circles. I was super dissatisfied. I needed my keywords!! Haha..

Just now was my second tutorial. Initially.. i was super negative and totally not receptive whenever she spoke. It seemed like any blunder she made was magnified in my eyes. Once again I was biased. I spoke to my classmates about the discussion questions.. then i finally mustered enough courage to speak to my tutor. I was wrong... sooo wrong... Haha. She corrected my blunder.

After having made known to her how I'd like her to input keywords into the lesson.. The second half of the lesson was Great! She understood my learning needs. I finally understood how she teaches. Gee... Why didn;t I approach her earlier?

Many times.. misunderstanding occur because we( yes! you! and me too!) forget to clear them up. We let that misunderstanding take root and there.. It'll grow into a tree bearing fruits of bitterness.

Well, I'm glad my tree of bitterness has been uprooted. It feels good!!

+Reunion+

I'm stuck. I don't know what to write. Perhaps this is what a writer's block is...or rather a blogger's block is all about.

Just came back from my junior college alumni concert. Well, let's back track a little.

The whole of last week..
+painted nails
+super scrubbed face (blackheads gone!)
+cut nails
+slept more

Just to prepare for this night. For this special person in fact.

Haha.. I don't know who's reading this. But if you are... haha.. you're entitled to think what you want to think about.

I've got got a crush ever since my first year in junior college. Hmm... this year is the sixth year. I'm still smitten by him. It's wierd isn't it? Something that can never be reciprocrated but yet I'm still hanging on to. It's foolish i know. Many people have told me to move on. I did... but I always end up back where I started.

Okie.. back to the concert.

The concert comprised of 2 short plays and quite a few song items. It's a great effort...considering the busy schedules of the people involved.

The special person sang, played the guitar. Sigh... so many years of avoiding him. I wonder why?

I know I'm incoherent. You just gotta bear with me.

I like him because he brings joy. He lifts me up when I am down. He knows where to draw the line and discipline me. With him, everything's in control even if he springs up surprises.

I've confessed to him when I was in junior college. I was rejected and avoided. I guess that's why I still can't really be myself in his presence.

I want to move on. Sigh.. but it's just so hard. Especially when any small thing would trigger me into thinking that it might be possible.

It's impossible. Give it up.

It's Teachers' Day!!

Happy Teachers' Day to ME!!!

.::a new pet::.

Ms Sim's hamster just gave birth!!

By the time my birthday arrives..

68kg: I'll get a hamster.

63kg: I'll get 2 hamsters and a cage with all the necessary things in it!

I'm determined!

Hmm.. will mummy agree...?

Edamame!!

This is edamame. Green soy beans.



This is ME! I've got to squeeze the beans out. Many flew all over the place.


Hehe. Edamame party anyone?

Study!!!

I'm all ready for school! I've just decorated my textbook.



Now, I won't be able to keep my hands off it!

Haha! Heehee! Hoohoo!!

The Ant Bully!!

Went to watch this with kor kor last night. Hmm.. It was supposed to be a comedy, but I ended up screaming quite a bit. A pretty short movie but never a dull moment! Watch it!!

+A New Beginning+

Avoidance-the act or practice of keeping away from or withdrawing from something undesirable.

That has been what I've been doing. I'm sorry.

I want to start afresh. Away from the stresses and strains.

I don't even know what's happening within me.

I can just sit and stare. Tears will just roll down.

I want to make everything right. Why is it so difficult?

Will I walk through this valley?

A day out with mama and dada

Early in the morning..

*yawn*

Mom: Later we're going to concourse.
Dad: Why...? Nothing to eat there.
Mom: Girl wants to buy things there..
Dad: Huh...
Mom: After that we'd go to town and eat..

I was half awake. Hehe.. I'm gonna get a brand new balloon pump!! And balloons today!!

Oooh.. at the food stalls below army market... there lies Soup Tulang.
The versioin I ate was mutton. It's sooo SHIOK!
http://www.makansutra.com/Makanzine/aug00/marrow_of_life.html

...I'm tired..

Okie. Dad has just "retired" So Mom decided to bring him out. Haha..

Dad=61 years old

He's really old.. And Mom couldn't stand him when he was behaving recklessly.
He decided to cross this really busy BIG road. Wrong move. He was scolded.
Later attempts by him to make Mom happy didn't really succeed.

Went to concourse.

Mom finally smiled when I presented the flower I made from balloons :D

Then dad started his antics again...

Haha.. But he's really sweet too.

I'd remember how sweet the mangoes are.. He went to buy and didn't eat them at all.

He knew Mom likes the taste of it.
