The heart, it feels dreadful.



我决意爱他 祝我愉快吧

你最明白我痛极亦留下

伤得很重也不怕 我愿意等他



他 从来都比你差

仍然死心爱他 垂头再度听他欺诈

祈求他说 爱我 为何尚未等到
 

可能 这秒时辰未到



仍然相信 我会有好心得好报

可能 到某日会知道...

Last night, couldn't sleep well cuz I was once again challenged to do something I really suck at, despite Daddykin's acing at it.  Yeah, you guessed it.. C o o k i n g! I got up early this morn', had brunch with Dad, went to the market and got stuck there for quite awhile.. not knowin' what to get and all. Eventually settled with some veges, prawns and mid-joint wings.
Yes! Aku's gonna be the hash slinger for the Ding's Resto today after so many million years of not cookin'.. Dunno how will the final product turn out like, but I'd be takin' pictures of the entire process. Now I really hope I won't burn down the kitchen FML. Just marinated the mid-joint wings and plucked off shells from the prawns .. Have a lil' bit of time here so...

Pictures from The Royal Caribbean Cruise I'd been procrastinating to load and blog about.. :)
Alot of pictures!

Photobucket

Day 1


All packed and ready to leave! It was an extremely happy day for me cuz the day before, got my results and officially graduated from school. So the trip kinda came just at the right time.

Photobucket

Was given a card for all purchases made within the cruise itself. Don't ask me wtf is Romeo and Juliet cuz my Sissy asked the exact same thing and I couldn't give her a satisfactory answer hurhur. Oh and yes, I was on the Legend of the Seas, sailing to Penang - KL - Singapore.

Photobucket

It was but the very first time I ever got on a cruise so imagine my excitement. Been hearin' alot on how cruises are extremely borin', especially for people like me who don't ever gamble for the life of me. Royal Carribbean is really gigantic, beatin' Star Virgo and all in both size and facilities. Most of the time, unless I'm out, it really doesn't feel like I'm on a sailin' ship at all.

Photobucket

We got the interior rooms cuz we figured that it was no point gettin' the exterior one when all you get is an additional circled window overseeing the same old thing - Seawater. Room was pretty small and cozy. Everything was like within reach.

Photobucket

Had our lunch not long after the ship started sailing. One thing I really loved bout' this cruise is the food! Variety is the key word, PLUS almost everything tastes yummy.

Photobucket

Toured around the huge place a little before we adjourned back into the room to change for the casino + dinner. We fine-dined the first night and figured it was too much of a hassle since we were pretty much hawker centre people at heart. The rest of the nights, it was buffets, buffets, and more buffets.

Photobucket

Took pictures of all the food except the entrée cuz I was too hungry! But the entrée was really good. Tenderloin + Fish cod! Oh and we had to be dressed to the nines so I wore my killer heels out.. damn ma fan!

Photobucket

Spent the rest of the night at the casino, then beer before we called it a night.

Photobucket
Photobucket

Day 2

Photobucket

Nothing beats this - Havin' a whole stretch of breakfast food to choose from, overseeing the beautiful sea.. We were literally sun bathing where we sat, but it dosent really matter cuz I do love the morning sun. :) Not long after, we docked at Penang, Malaysia.

Penang is a state in Malaysia, located on the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia by the Strait of Malacca. Penang is the second smallest state in Malaysia after Perlis, and the eighth most populous. A resident of Penang is colloquially known as a Penangite.

Photobucket

Was contemplating the night before, whether or not we should register to join a tour. I then decided that it wouldnt be too hard to figure out places of interests ourselves. Settled at an internet cafe to get directions and all before taking a super long walk under the scorching sun to one of the bigger, popular malls there.. Prangin Mall.

Photobucket

Despite the humidity, I had fun walking past Little India and Chinatown.. where the old and rundown buildings amused me..

Photobucket

Finally arrived! I was craving for authentic Penang Laksa so we spent like 30 mins trying to find a stall that sells them.. And it was omfg delish! Shopped around the place for a good 2 hours before it was time to go back on the cruise. This time, we were soooo tired, takin' a cab seemed like the most practical idea. And so we did. Washed up and napped a little before we went to the huge theatre for some musical performance.

Photobucket

Back in the room.. we were so tired omg. But I was so amuse by how they used towels to make the little animals! I even took some time to figure out how exactly they did it. It's actually quite easy la, but I've forgotten how to make them now. Hurhur!

Photobucket


Day 3

Woke up at 7ish on the last day and it was breakfast again! Omg you cannot imagine the amount of rubbish I had in my tummy from the entire trip. I ate soooo much! Anyway, I was super excited cuz I haven't been to KL all my life! I know right... Suaku.

Photobucket

This time, because of the distance from the port to the main city of KL, we had to join the tour. It was a great idea cuz the tour guide was really nice! We were brought to a number of places, but can't rmb nuts now. All I know is, I wanted see visit legendary twin tower and Petaling Street badly!

Photobucket

We were brought to Chinatown, according to the tour guide, and as we were walkin', I didn't realize Chinatown included Petaling Street! Awesome baby! But it was disappointing though.. There wasn't much to buy, mostly fake stuff so we left there empty-handed. The next destination.. Twin towers.

Photobucket

Was soooo excited omg..

Photobucket

I rock as a photographer..

Photobucket

The mall was 'infested' with tons of bigass brands, literaly like Taka in SG. We had Penang Laksa and Penang prawn mee once again.. (but we were in KL, I know righttttttt.) And right after Chendol and Red ruby, we had New Zealand's Natural! Wah basket! Eat like there's no tmr sial!

The mall was so bloody big, we lost our way quite a few times round.. There wasn't much time to finish shoppin' around, and before we know it, it was time to go back on the cruise.. and back to SG. Back on cruise.. it was room service cuz... Cuz I was hungry again. After all the food I had? FML!

Photobucket

Went out on the top deck.. Rest and Relax. It was sunset.. and it was magical.

Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket


Day 4

Woke up at 630am specially to catch sunrise.. It was b e a u t i f u l. After breakfast, it was time to go home.

Photobucket

As mentioned in the previous post, this holiday has got to be one of the best I ever had. And honestly, cruises are not that boring afterall. It really depends on the purpose, and who you're going with.

Alrighto, this wraps up my holycuiseday with love. Now, it's back to Hell's Kitchen. Will be headin' to SupperClub later on to discuss bout' the job positions and all there. Update again soon!

Have an awesome TGIF y'all. ♥ ♥ ♥

It's final. I officially rejected probably the one and only chance to go to the US of A in my life for 5 freaking months. I know I'm being really exaggerating here but it's affecting me. It is. I hate it when I have to give in to monetary problems and let it be a hurdle to what I really want to do.

Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of 'I'm going to,' 'I plan on,' and 'Someday, when things are settled down a bit.'

Whatever happen to all the Wants in life? Not that I yearn for alot.. I dont think so.

I was initially resentful bout the whole issue and even secretly blaming Bear for it. But last night, as I was bout to sleep, I got to thinkin' bout the entire US thingy and "God's Blueprint" eventually came into my mind and sorta neutralized the whole situation. Im pretty much fine now, and am lookin' forward to a full time job in weeks to come.

Anyway I'm back from beautiful Batam babies. Had the most enjoyable 3 days and 2 nights with Maria and Baby Kate. Am already missing her "Hai.." and "Mmmuah!" as I type now. She is extremely adorable, and I'm plannin' on doin' a video on the trip and postin' it up on FB.

Batam was surprisingly beautiful. We bunked in quaint old huts build atop stilts.. sounds uncool but it really was nice for a change from the hustle and bustle of city life. The only thing we both couldn't tolerate was the insects! The bees were so bloody H U G E omg. At the end of the trip, we both gotta admit we're really city girls at heart. :)

Will post the pictures and videos tmr.
Off to SupperClub tonight baby.

Sat morn'.. got up pretty early today from hunger pangs. Stomach was growlin' like mad on the bed and I couldn't help but drag myself up and down half a jug of water to ease the hunger a lil'. Promised Daddykins I'd have brunch with him at 11ish later.. and it's barely even ten now omg. Somebody call 911.

//editted at 10pm:
Was at Granny's earlier and had the loveliest homemade dinner. When I told her yesterday night that I'd be comin' today, she specially got up early to whip up a feast! The favourite "Hong shao ji" not to be spared.. everything is made from scratch, even the wine! She sells em' durin' CNY season too. Everyone loves it! :)

Anyways, got a msg from Maria yesterday.

Maria: Gal, can I ask you somethin crazy? Are you free to go batam for a short holiday?
Me: *stared at the msg for a few seconds* It's pretty crazy but I don't mind!

So yes, will be headin' into Batam tmr for 3d2ns tmr till Tues with Mama Maria and Baby Kate! Haven't been to Batam before so I really wouln't mind. Besides, I'd be able to see Little Kate for 3 days straight! Major awesomeness.

Loads to blog about, but I'm really sleepy. It's 1030pm now, gtg pack my stuffs for the trip tmr then .. lights off. Have an awesome weekend you all.

Lovelove.

★ Weeehoooo! ★

Yes, I'm back from the Royal Carribbean cruise babies. The trip was nothin' but awesome.. made me realize alota stuffs I never was able to fathom previously. Had all the time in the world I wanted and needed, baskin' under the mornin' sun on the top deck and all. It really was a good trip.

More on that later, cuz first thing first - A piece of good news:

I AM OFFICIALLY A GRADUATE!

Cleared all my mods, and did a little better then expected. At least it isn't merely a pass.. but the point is, I don't usually bother bout' the grades. A pass is more than enough. Shared the piece of awesome news with Daddykins and boy, he was so elated.. and called Granny immediately.

It's apparently the end of the tideous, long and endurin' journey no doubt, but the harsh fact is that my life...it has barely begun. Currently sendin' out alota resumes to companies of my choice, but the most desired one is most certainly MBS. It isn't entirely my will, but more of my Dad's. All my life, I've been livin' in accordance to his will cuz if you ask me what do I wanna do.. I'd probably shrug my shoulders and shoot you a blank look. But I don't exactly see how that is a bad thing cuz at least I'm movin' forward in life, movin' on .. for a better tomorrow.

Now on the flipside, a-bad-news-to-be: Might not be able to go to the U.S anymore. It mainly stems from monetary issues, and I don't wanna elaborate on that. Been buggin' me for the longest time and I'm really at a lost.. Now I finally understand how Maria felt. I'm pretty upset over this issue, but still findin' the solution for it. In the end, if I'm really unable to go, I'd take it as God's will.

Okiedocs, got to go continue on my new drama - Beyond the realm of conscience. My 5th HK drama since the start oh holidays.. Man, I reckon I'd even quit drinkin' for drama series... Wahaha. (kiddin' at that)

God bless you all. xo.

P.S. Contempleting if I should blog bout' the trip.. but anyhow, be back tmr to update on all outdated posts!




Wednesday, December 02, 2009, 1:04 AM

Full of emotions now. There seem to be so much on my mind, and I dunno where to start honestly.
I've been really disappointed these days.. one of which emanating from the pendin' US trip and some from the matters of the heart.

If there's one thing you gotta understand bout' me, every song I listen to is a reflection of  feelings left unexpressed.. I have alot to say again now. But I'm tired after an entire day.


Tonight, I just wanna say that.. I'm sorry.
I know I'm not in the wrong, but still.

I'm sorry.

★ Baby Kate + Vonvon's bash ★

Was super excited on this day cuz I finally would get to see Baby Kate again! Probably the most adorable kid on earth. You wouldn't believe what she can do at her age.. at barely a few days after her first birthday, she could imitate ALOT of the actions of adults. She claps, gives flyin' kisses, and shakes her body when you ask her to "Shake" ! I truly marvel at the pace at which she learns.. Cute as a bug!

Photobucket

Did a short 7 mins video for little Kate and her dear parents aka Ken and Maria! Decorated the CD cover with .. with the weirdest things! Cotton wool, glow-in-the-dark stars, pink sequins which I pasted all over till my eyes almost went cock, and alotta other random stuff you can find at home. Majorly lovin' DIY stuffs! And I kinda enjoyed the process.. :)

Here's the little rascal havin' a time of her own whilst the adults decide what to fill their tummies ..

Photobucket
Photobucket

Then came the food! Been meanin' to try out the Seafood Aglio Olio since Wati kept affirmin' its goodness.. And no, I didn't regret at all man. I even went back to TCC again, alone for lunch to eat it durin' my lunch break a few days after. I mean, if you're a fan of aglio olio then you're bound to love this. Case in point for me.

Photobucket

Mini, chocolaty birthday cake..

Photobucket

And happy birthday Vonvon + Kate cutie! They look soooo happy omg. Haha

Photobucket

The people who made the wonderful day happen..

Photobucket

Went out for some beer soon after at Harry's.. Kill-Kenny! Uncle is so gonna keeeeeel me if he ever sees this wahaha but I doubt he would so.. Kill KENNY!

Photobucket
Photobucket

Shoot the breeze under the beautiful weather.. It was a rather short night, but nonetheless, I really am happy to be able to spend time with them. Wish Maria could stay longer so we could chat longer! But it's alright, we'll do this again the next time, just the 3 of us. :)

Sometimes I thank God that in my life, I have no lack of friends.. especially the true ones. People I can confide in, and listen to. Isn't that what friendships are all about? I often wonder how friendships can be broken sometimes. Not like I haven't experienced it before, I did. But I guess it's all water under the bridge now and true friends, they quarrel and they make up.

And I'm sure as hell, thankful for the two rockass friends I have here. :)

 Fanni is being random again ★

Won't be able to blog out all the activities that took place after exams, so am gonna squeeze them all in a post! Been out almost every single day, not entirely drinkin' per se la.. did lotsa other awesome catch-ups with my darlings as well!

#1

SIM Alumni movie screenin' 2012, with Wati and gang. The movie was alright.. 2.5/5 popcorns I reckon. Am not exactly I fan of Sci-Fi, apart from A.I. Definitely prefer action/crime & ganster/adventure anytime!

Photobucket

Beloved Wati, who brought her bf along.Nice chap I would say! As in the fact that he'll willin' to take the effort to mingle around with her group of friends mean alot.. Too bad some guys just don't get it. *shrugs*

#2

One fine day, met up with my bitch for a round of steamboat at Geylang before she brought me right up to heaven. 


Photobucket

And the fact that I am broke 'nuff' not to spend any further, I threw myself down to earth.. by not purchasin' anything from the palace! Everything in there's authentic.. but that also mean.. costin' an arm and a leg. As I grow up, realize that I no longer have the pleasure of wantonin' away on unnecessary stuffs. Needa save up for more important plans like #5.

Had a ball of time with my bitch, though we didn't exactly get to really talk much cuz her hubs was there.. next time round, let it be just us - girls! :)


#3

Bro, and his new found chai. LOL!

Photobucket

At BQ one of the nights. Been hangin' out there pretty often these days cuz 1. The guys need their eye candies 2. It's open till late.. Early, in retrospect. 3. Pub-hoppin' is as easy as ABC. Oh and everyone, meet my alter ego. (when it comes to drinkin'/alcohol!). This dude here can drink almost every single night, even after a hangover! I like. :)

#4

Snackin' on jap peas, nuts and seaweed while watchin' HK dramas almost everyday! Went shoppin' with Mommy the other day after gettin' my new phone and we grabbed almost all kinda jap snacks we found from the Jap fair at AMK hub. Its err, all in muh tummy now. Hurhur.

Photobucket

So far.. Caught Emergency Unit (E.U), the prequel of it - Laughing Gor之變節. And trust me, this is a freakin' freakin' freakin' good flick! You just have to watch it if you're a fan of crime/gangster/action flicks like me. No regrets!



The story takes place before the early year of 2000 when Laughing (Michael Tse) is an undercover cop, but because of a drug case, he has been trying to be tracked down by Inspector Poon (Felix Wong).

Laughing is supposedly an undercover cop who has infiltrated a triad organization. However, before he became a cop, Laughing was a member of the triads and worked for the triad leader Lai Tin Yat aka Brother One (Anthony Wong). Brother was very good to Laughing, and Laughing looked up to him as his elder brother. In order to strengthen his business and illegal activities, Brother One arranges for Laughing to join the Police Force and become his mole to gather information about the plans and counter-plans for operations by the police.

Laughing graduated from Police Academy with outstanding results but before he was assigned to a post as a police officer, his "bad boy" image attracted the attention of the Head of District Anti-Triad Squad, Superintendent Sin (Yuen Biao) who arranges his assignment as an undercover cop to infiltrate the mob syndicate.

Laughing is now a "double" mole. Brother One was happy with this turn of events as Laughing was assigned to infiltrate the mob of his triad rival sibling Zatoi (Francis Ng), who tries to make life difficult for Laughing. To further complicate the situation, Laughing falls in love with Zatoi's sister, Karen (Fala Chen).

How will Laughing contend with the law, the triad brotherhood, and his love affair? No matter which camp he sides with, he is doomed to be a traitor to the other. Which path will Laughing ultimately choose to follow?

#5

One last thing, but I'm quite lazy to type it all out.. so Lavvie baby, borrow the entire thing from ur blog! :)

hello. its official now.
i passed the interview and i'll be going for the work and travel program next summer for 5 months! :)

initially i thought the interview would be quite easy, cos tong neng said he thinks hardly anyone get rejected. but i was wrong! for some strange reason, MANY ppl got rejected! and some decided not to participate cos their friends didnt get the job.

my interview slot was the 2nd last batch. so limited jobs were available (and u wouldnt believe what i got offered. HAHA) i think there were more than 20 of us and only 7 jobs left. (blame us for coming just on the dot. cos apparently everyone else came pretty early and got an earlier interview slot!) and we were all supposed to be dismissed at 1030, but at 1030, it wasnt even my turn yet. imagine how stressful it got eventually.

my batch had 5 ppl. there was no time left, so he asked questions one by one like reallyyyyy quickly. (there was seriously no time to think, no chance to impress), once u gave ur ans, he shot another 2 rounds of questions from the 1st person all over again. then at the end he held up only 2 forms and passed it to me and this other guy asking us if we would like to accept the job. SO YAY!

so what job did he offer me? HAHAHA dont laugh. seriously. i'll punch u across the face.
errrrm. LIFEGUARD. OEI you're laughing la! pui!
the guy asked, "can u swim 100m?" i said yes... "can u dive down and retrieve a brick?" i hesitated.. and said i guess so? HAHA jiu wo. i mean, i can swim. i even got 2nd place in a swimming competition when i was in sec 1. (hard to believe i know) HAHA but that was 9 years ago????! now when i go swimming, i either sit on the bench, or i float around the pool, relying on my fats to keep me above the water... but swimming?? omg. but then again, they have training there. so not so bad. and i dont think my job is really as a lifeguard la. more like those zuo bo ppl u see at wild wild wet walking around with he whistle and screaming at kids to stop peeing inside the pool. HAHA and besides lifeguards get paid the most there! :)

ANYWAYS. so Where exactly will i be going?
DOSWELL, a small town in the central region of the U.S State of VIRGINIA
its not a bad location cos they have buses that brings you to NYC, Washington, Atlantic City bla bla... and free transportation to Richmond, the main capital of Virginia :)

Who am i working for?
KINGS DOMINION. the major amusement park located in the town. quite famous i heard. :)

Who am i going with?
well, initially alone. but i managed to psycho FANNI to go!!! hahaha her interview was the last batch. and she got in too!! i think her's was harder. cos her batch had to cramp 15 ppl in it. and they only had 5 positions left. and she got it!!! + we made a new friend, EVELEEN! well more like jeremy tan's friend. i told him about the trip and asked if he had friends who were interested, and he got her..! she's damn On also. as soon as i spoke to her on the phone, she went to apply and i met her for the first time last night and she got in too!! :)
it must be fated that i go. and that my friends made it too. HAHA. i'm so glad fanni's going la. FANNI = ENTERTAINMENT. :) :)

When will i be going?

errm. earliest is 22 march 2010, or perhaps in april, depending on what they arrange, and i'll be back probably on the 31 august!! :) 5 months. omg. so exciting. so excited! cant wait. 

Yes, I'm headin' to the US of A in a couple of months time for 5 months. :) And I guess what she said was true, my batch of interview had so many people in it, I almost thought I wouldn't make it! Plus the fact that the interviewer gave us such simple questions that there was almost no way for me to elaborate. Or I was probably just gan jiong la, but hey.. I got it man!

It will be a once in a lifetime experience that I get to do this. I mean, once I step out into the workin' world.. what are the chances that I'd get to travel around for a month, and stay in another country for 4 months? I'm not sure if I'll get used to the food/life there but still, it's an opportunity not to be missed. And I'm glad I was being psycho-ed by Lav! I've heard bout' Speedwing and have always wanted/intended to go.. but monetary issue is the main hurdle. But oh well! If I wanna do it, I guess I can. :)

So much for being random! Will be back for another update later - Dinner with the girls! :)




Monday, November 16, 2009, 12:57 AM



I have alot of things I wanna blog about.. Been hangin' myself really loose since exams ended. Remainin' nonchalant bout' things that happened and all. I mean, not that alot had happened.. nothing major, in retrospect, had happened. Ok I know I'm blabbering away here but.

But today, I feel really low.
I didn't initially.. I enjoyed myself with Sista at Alps, I enjoyed drivin' ard with Uncle Kenny, I enjoyed every single moment since exams ended till moments ago. I know I shouldn't be feelin' this way.. but why am I?

Beats me.

Or perhaps, I just don't wanna face it.




Thursday, November 12, 2009, 1:47 PM

★ The Holy meet-up with Sista! ★

And I say holy, cuz we haven't met up for the longest time.. and most of the time, either of us would put aeroplane. But this time round, finally settled at Alps, 12 degrees under, over cheese fries, Topshell and beer.

Was a rather nice place to chill.. Its kinda like a restaurant with KTV system.And I almost froze to death, if it wasn't for Sista's holy jacket. The eccentric thing was, she wasn't even feelin' the least cold! Sometimes I wonder.. is it me or? Heh.

Photobucket
Photobucket

Finished the food, had half of the Corona and left to meet Uncle Kenny! We were drivin' ard, tryin' to figure out where's the stadium or somethin' when I had a minor accident! It was a pretty silly one la really. I thought I didn't see any cars through the rear mirror and reversed at the junction, meanin' to make a left turn..and suddenly, BAM!

Happy new year. 

I hit a car behind! Was damn gan jiong cuz I never had any accidents before.. Thank goodness it was just scratches that can be wiped off and the other party was really nice. Anyway Uncle was kinda composed the whole time and settled the entire issue for me. Err, it's his car we're talkin' bout here so I felt damn damn damn guilty the entire night! :(

It was really weird cuz I swear under my armpit hair, I didn't see any cars at all. And Uncle could vouch for that too! We were figurin' out aftermath, when and how the hell did the car suddenly appear right behind ours.. This is extremely eerie..

★ Club Bubbery ★

Photobucket

Couldn't remember when, but there was this day way before exams, Uncle Kenny and I were drivin' ard when I thought we could hang out at BarOne in my super dressed down mode. Super coincidentally, the moment Shaun got off the cab, he got my msg and was just downstairs with Handsome and gang! Weet~

Photobucket

And it is in Shaun that he makes sure he gets to know everyone wherever he goes to.. Friendly dude! But everytime I go back to the same place, I forgot all their names again. Man.. I'm just bad at this, ain't I!

Photobucket

★ Club Bubbery II ★

Photobucket

The day after exams, all of us met up (impromptu) at Bubbery once again .. partied the night away! Lotsa 'weird' people came.. people I never do hang out with durin' uni days. But that faithful night, all of united as one as we cheers-ed to the end of the uni life. Shaun was the only extra undergrad-to-be while all of us are grad-ing soon.. He's so gonna squash me if he sees this. *sticks tongue out* Wahahaha!

Truckloads of pictures! They depict.. -FUN-

And suddenly.. Shaun and Grala was kinda dragged to the stage. But spontaneously, they played along. And that's the hot Sophia who melts all heart..

Photobucket

I have no idea what they were doin'.. Haha~

Photobucket

And that's the happy Shaun for you! Hahaha~

Photobucket

At the end of the night, Shaun K.O-ed, Lav K.O-ed, Randy K.O-ed, while the rest of the survivors left to BQ to continue.. And as you can see, I was almost 3 sheets to the wind. Haha~ AND I misplaced my hp that night! Whoever had taken it.. must be crazy cuz that phone's pretty much wrecked.

Photobucket

And if you think it's crazy, this is just the start of all the partyin'..




Thursday, November 05, 2009, 5:45 PM

★ Its all over!

Photobucket

So finally! Am done with my last paper of my life, crossin' fingers as I just typed that. Exams = pet peeve. I'm honestly fine with school  IF it doesn't involve exams but really, if it was that plain sailin', then no one would have opted to step into the workin' world already.

The past few weeks have been torturous no doubt. Comin' home to stacks of note everyday, feelin' guilty whenever I get out of the house OR not touchin' the notes when I'm home, yadda yadda. Have waited all my life.. and I mean A L L  M Y  L I F E for today. The official, last exam that I ever would take. Mixes of emotion now, but scaling more to the right.. definitely. Though I'm really not sure if I'd pass muster this time round, but one thing for sure - I've given my best shot.

Now, its oodles of drama-catchin', TV, ktvs, steamboat, pool, swimmin', slackin', and just thinkin' of what to do. I deserve this.. I totally deserve this!

Off for a short nap before the devil officially gets unleashed tonight.. Hiakhiakhiakhiak....

Hello ladies and gentlemen. In 2 days time, my studious life comes to an end! Been contemplating on something for awhile now, and I've finally decided on it! Next April - September... Will be a self-proclaimed break from the past 20 years of studying. Elaborate more on it on Thursday. Can't wait or exams to be over really, really soon!

★ Examination Hiatus ★

Im missin' ALOT of things right now.

Photobucket


Watchin' TV dramas, downloadin' songs, goin' out as and when I want to..  just lying on bed with the lappy chattin' at ease with  absolutely nth else on mind apart from... from chatting la then?!
I wanna "sigh" but yet I know I shouldn't cuz this is what I should, ought, have.. to do.

Exams really suck biggie time but.. But well.. I know I needa get over this.. you can't be always resting on ur laurels can you? Much as you wish to.. but life's a reality, a harsh one in fact. Subconsciously, or rather unconsciously,you do things in accordance with the mainstream society's perceptions and try to live up to 'expectations' you don't even know for what reason. You can read me, he, she, and YOU urself, assuredly.

I tend to steer to the other end of the emotional scale whenever exams' ard the corner.. Cuz I really do abhor the incessant repetition of exams every few months. Thank God after this it's -The End- for me baby. Anymore exams comin' my way and I'll shoot the bugger.

Alrighto, my tail's up for now.. Be back after the 5th Nov! Meanwhile, study hard everyone. :)

Love,
Funny thing

★ Nolstalgic ★

A sudden nostalgia for this old friend I used to have. Browsed through his FB and my mind instantaneously went back in time. He was really a rockass friend to have; always complimenting me, correcting me when I'm wrong, and we share this certain 默契 that no one else have thus far, did any better.

The days where we always hang out, doing the silliest things and laughing at them, singing songs, cracking really lame jokes and just being very comfortable with each other.. I really do miss. Those days are never gonna come back again, I realize that and so these memories, they will always be kept in a corner of my little heart..

P.S. My lao peng you.. :)

Good mornin' bloggerworld! It's awesome Sunday & everyone 'round me at work's really chirpy.. including me! And so, in my buoyant mood I 'created' a lame comic strip outta my uni life within an hour! Ok I know it's quite long, but considering the fact that I suck at photoediting, I guess it's pretty reasonable..

Introducing, Semester 3 groupmates. Oh but before that, announcements to be made..

 Never see us in the normal light, especially when it comes to doin' projs.. We can be your worse... night... mare... Huahuahuahauhauhua......

Randomized #1: Princess Hair

If there's anything I really really enjoy doin', it's messin' around with people's hair.. braidin' it for them, stylin' it, and sometimes they turn out pretty well!

Princessy hair designed by yours truly and Lewen! Isn't she a sweet darrrrling..?

Randomized #2: The stressful day in school

Another fine sunny day, we booked a study room in hopes to concentrate better with the quiet environment and air-conditioned room. We were all pretty stressed up apart from Qingli who found utmost joy in irritating us in our stressfool mode. Because of him, our serious mode kinda turned off.. then the story begins..

★ Of an awesome dinner and BarOne ★

Photobucket

Been a fan of steamboat since donkey years ago, and Im pretty sure friends around me would have known this fact. Thing is, I never get bored of it. Up to 3 times a week for me is totally fine - yeah Im that crazy over steamboat dinner/lunch! So 2 days ago, went for dinner at the same place I went to 4 days ago. Different people, same ol' good food. Absolutely heart the soup base there!

Anyway, it was a post-projs, pre-exam kinda outing.. As usual, got intoxicated and lost quite abit of my memory.. Darn. Haha! And for the first time in my life, I don't even remember going for supper at the favorite Cheng Cheng Chok! Major W.T.H. :\

Photobucket

Food was really good.. But didn't manage to stay long cuz I was really stuffed up with prawns and beef + awesome fu chok! Yumz!

Photobucket

Adjourned to BarOne after dinner and stuffed ourselves silly with jugs upon jugs of Fosters.. 3 of us had almost 10 or 12, I couldn't really remember though.. But it sure was fun! Muahaha~

Photobucket
Photobucket

Shaun and Lavvie came after that and once again, more beeeeeer.. Not long after their arrival, I knocked out. Getting knocked out on beer sounds pretty funny aye.. Shocked as I was, it's all over now and Im glad I didn't have hangover the next day!

So much for paintin' the town red.. Time to push that Serious mode button and gear myself into study mood! Lotsa revision to be done. Before I know it, it's 18 days to the finals, the day I've been waiting for my entire life. All ze best to me.

And chu! :)

★ The little Princess ★

A week before my Finance test, met up with Wati, Mama and Baby Kate for lunch over at JP. That part of the island was familiar, yet unfamiliar to me. Used to go there almost every week, but not within the last 4 years. Nth much has changed apart from the extension of shops.

Settled at some Fusion restaurant  for their Beef Brisket noodles which was good!

Photobucket

And here's the little angel for you. Really love her! She's sooooo adorable, always grabbing things off from the table and throwing it on the floor. Totally marveled at how kids do the most irritating things, yet we still think they're cute.Well only toddlers have such advantage aye? If ur my age and ur still doin' this, I'd box u!



Photobucket

The only one thing she dosen't chuck on the floor.. her baby biscuit! She finished the entire biscuit with crumbs all over her face.. Uber uber cuteness!! Can't wait for her hugeass birthday party on November.. I wanna do something special for this little angel. :)

Photobucket

Last year, had the opportunity to watch the race itself. This year, something different! Kudos to Mazzy, we joined in the fun at the Red Dome, amidst the tons and tons of Caucasians .. what seemed like an 'overseas parteh' inside out. We sure had fun. :)

Photobucket

Weird lookin' DJs.. They remind me of Russell Lee, don't they? But it was sure a hilarious scene.

Photobucket

Didn't wanna get up on the stimulator initially, but Mazzy managed to persuade us into it.. Apparently you get to win an F1 lighter and Ferreri scarf. The models were sizzling hot though! Even I salivated. :P

White ranger came really late he was sorta punished. Had to send all of us back + 126 dim sum! 126 is utter h a p p i n e s s baby. He brought this really fast, fierce and furious girl who kinda scratched Randell the entire night. Once I scream and tell her "Randell bully me!", she'd scratch him immediately. And the following day, poor Randy's arms were filled with tons of scars! Lmao! So much for tryin' to disturb me. Hmph~

★ Uncle Paul's & Boatquay ★

Called Shaun and asked if he was interested for a few rounds of beer at Paulaner's that faithful evening and to my surprise, he managed to get almost all the bros out, on a weekday! The moment I got there, he muttered something like.. "See, we're all so steady! Becuz of chu!"

sick smileys
They were really steady, had no quelms bout' that. And that's precisely why I've always loveeeeee them! :)

Photobucket

Ephemeral drinking sessions always leave me wanting more.. So, the only place available was nowhere else but Boatquay - The Paradize of Lians & Bengs and.. what not.

And so.. we had our last one for the road.
I had so much fun that night!
Till the next time.. :)

★ BarOne + Oasis ★

A Saturday night out once again. Its pretty rare cuz I seldom hangout on a weekend. Or rather sometimes, I just chose not to. Not exactly a fan of overcrowded places, but once in a while, I do fancy the horde of weekend crowd. (Ok lah, sometimes.. it's becuz of Bear) 
So.. Just when I thought, geez.. "Im on the wagon", reality's far from that.

Met up with Small One and gang over at Cheenatown.. We got the ball rollin'. Smurfie brightened up my day as usual! Will never get bored with the few of em' round..

Photobucket

Shaun then popped by, and we all changed destination to Oasis.. The lousiest Thai Pub I've ever been to! Well not that I've been to alot for that matter, but.. It was small, the dancers weren't the least pretty.. They don't sing very well.. And all that jazz. So far, Nana seem to reign at the top of the list. But I heard Ratchada & Sabai was good. But oh wells. Thai Pubbin' is not my cuppa tea. Ultimately, it's the crowd that really matters. animated smileys


Photobucket

Ended the night pretty late, I can't really rmb cuz it was almost a month ago. But I'm glad Bear finally met all these wonderfool people that faithful night. :)

★ Pissed to my doom ★

At times I just cannot, for my dear life fathom why do shrews like her still exist in the phase of this world. Let's call her *Julia.

Foremost, I knew *Julia years back when we were both in church AND choir. Went for audition together, went for choir practices together and all. When I left church, naturally we no longer contact though we still have each other in both Facebook and MSN.

So one day, a friend told me to join this particular company, let's call it SSS, to work PT. I already had a stable PT job then, but wouldn't mind juggling one more so I called this particular lady from this particular recruitment agency. Spoke to *Julia of cuz, and got her name, but didn't occur to me that it might be the *Julia I knew years back in church.

So we kinda arranged for an informal interview and all.

The moment I saw her in the office, immediately I recognized her! I smiled at her, of cuz thinkin' that she would do the same and acknowledge the recognition BUT to my surprise, she actually stared at piece of shit paper and said, "So ur fanni right?"

Like wtf? Then? Your mother ar?

Ok nvm, at that point of time I wasn't so pissed.. I was just kinda taken aback.. Was ponderin' how could she not recognize me when we were once close, yet not that close? I haven't changed much, that's for sure. Ultimately, I told myself.. it's ok, I go home and confirm if it's that *Julia that I know.

So back home, logged into FB and searched for her name. Guess what? She is NO LONGER my friend in FB. And a few weeks back, she was still my friend. Till now, her MSN add is still in my list, BUT she no longer appears online on my side.. simple - I was being deleted.

Nvm.

Asked another friend about her and he said yes, he still has Vixen in his FB and MSN account. Told him about what happened and he too said it's weird.

So I continued acting dumb, whenever I see her, look her into her eyes, I still pretend to know her only as our coordinator. Initially it wasn't easy for me to do that cuz how the fuck can you actually talk to someone U once knew 'unfamiliarly"?

Her reputation with PT staffs in SSS was horrible. Usually being described as a rude Bitch and whatever la. She speaks to ppl haughtily, though I honestly DO NOT know which part of her gives her the liberty to.

More importantly, she has abso-fucking-lutely NO compassion and empathy. Treating everyone like her dawg who has to be under her bloody command. A colleague's Father passed away last year and when he had to take 5 days urgent leave, the first thing that came out of her stinky mouth was, "If you wanna take 5 days leave, next time pls inform me eaerlier!!"

Wtf.

My colleague was sooo pissed he told her, "Oh, sorry I didn't know my FATHER was gonna DIE!"
That totally shut her up.

So recently, I was commanded to call her back within 5 mins to confirm if another staff could take over me as I couldn't work due to my mum's hospital discharge the next day. Obviously I didn't call her back within 5 mins cuz mum was vomiting her life away and I had to help her.

"Didn't I tell U to call me back in 5 mins? Some things are of Urgency Fanni!"
Wah I tell you, I was mad as a wet hen!

Don't call me Fanni man I wanna puke my guts out.
She was so FUCKING rude I wanna give her a bitch slap if I ever could.
But decided that I don't wanna dirty my hands.
Later kana dunno wad disease.

Anyway, I told her sorry my mum was vomiting and all.
Argh don't wanna elaborate much la. but all in all, I hope this woman knows what the hell she is doing and how she have caused her reputation to be so tarnished. Even the full-timers at SSS was bitching all about her and NOT A SINGLE SOUL I have spoken to with regards to her had positive comments.

She should learn to be a tad nicer to people, SINCERELY, and not when she needs favor, NOR should she bootlick. (her fav hobby)

Oh ya, recently heard that she still attends church services. I don't wanna comment much on this but honestly, if she is a living testimony, I'd rather Orh-mee-toh-hoot my life away.
Yes, it is THAT bad, cuz I have never ever thought of changing religion before, as most of my friends would know.

U just wait, the day karma befalls.. I will be standin' right there, laughin till my sides hurt.

P.S. Thankfully, the ex-boss saved my bacon and emailed me right on the same day I got 'fired' in a sense.

★ Wati's finally BACK! ★

Greetings from KKH. Mum's finally recoverin'. Nurses removed the needle on her wrist, urine bag and drip. She's able to get down from bed, go to the toilet herself and walk a round around the ward.. Thank God! Her appetite is still very bad though.. kept vomiting out her milo and all. But surprisingly, she had a few mouthful of congee Dad made and didn't puke at all!
:)

Photobucket

Been wantin' to meet up this gal since a long time ago. Soo much to update her and we totally chatted pre-dinner to post-dinner. It was rawkass!
Dined in at Sakae Teppanyaki, fell in love with it instantaneously.
Someone bring me there again pls.

Photobucket

Love their unique flowery plates! We've been aimin' Sakae Teppanyaki for the longest time, but always ended up elsewhere. Finally could dine in that faithful evening.

Photobucket

Cheese oyster, beef, foie gras, chicken, chawanmushi, salmon, mixed mushrooms, etc etc etc, all done up right in front of you so food's kinda fresh. Delish, especially the foie gras.

Photobucket

Oh yes, I know I look uber spiritless and torpid.. burnin' candles at both ends la dey. Looks like a forced smile dosen't it. Haha~ Headed for our usual Starbucks aftermath and had a really longgg chat over the recent happenings. Hugee load off my shoulders.

Alright gotta go put mum to nap soon.
Be back later!

★ Mundane school days lightened up! ★

This sem's been really sardined back to back with projs piling on top of each other. Amongst the 4 lecturers, it dosen't really help that 2 are pretty much useless cum annoyin'. One practically reads off from lecture notes (asleep at the switch I reckon).. which HELLOW, I can go home and do it myself fankewerimuch. The other, chinese face and angmoh slang which all of us apparently cannot stand. PLUS he's the lor-sor-est man I've ever met in my entire dear life.

These aside, I'm glad for zippy zappy zangy maites.
They kinda make ur day a tad livelier!

And if this is not all, in the middle of the really stressfool finance lecture, lewen suddenly felt sleepy and decided to disturb the hell out of me (when it is usually me - disturbin' her). She started writing slips of note for me.. in her horrendous mandarin.

Photobucket

And this piece is ignored.. Cuz sister here is hardworkin' and diligent when it comes to studies.. No pray pray one. (kiss my ass at that, ya).

So then lewen continued writing me primary school composition..

Photobucket

Ok. Foremost, my chinese name ain't written that way! Second, she actually thought of using 1/2 as 半! Omg.. And I bursted at the way she wrote 进 with the JING atop the .. thingy. Major Lol I tell you.

And no, still not enough to irritate me. She then wrote a longggg compo this time round and requested for me to fill in the blanks (填写汉字). My mandarin also .. 4 horse 9696 one ah, mai siao siao.

Tester: Lewen
Student: Hongwen

Back home, showed Daddykins what lewen actually wrote to me.. He laughed his ass off and said exactly these words.. (I almost wanted to record his expression and speech but was too late! Super hilarious)

Attention of the day:
Lam Lavonne, or you may call her.. LEWEN!

In conclusion, I'd use one picture to sum up school days.
Afterall, it speaks of a thousand words isn't it?

Good night U all.
Long day ahead tmr.. Gonna bring Mummy 爱心粥 with all hopes that she'd regain appetite !

Stressed already,

P.S. Was so helpless today when Mum puked at the slightest food/drink forced down her throat. She totally couldn't consume anything at all, and have been starved for the past 3 days already. Dad immediately rushed to the hospital, abandoning everything at work just to make sure she is ok before headin' back to work again. And thank God, she was. He then bought back mum's fav 'ngor hur' and brewed congee for her for hours.. instructin' me to do this and that tmr mornin'. Thou I noe certain things just cannot be salvaged (and that's prolly the most bitter pill for me to swallow), but still.. his unconditional love for mum touched me much. My dad's the most wonderful man on mother earth.. I thank God for him, every single day of my life.

★ Paulaner's ★

P.S. As usual, clearing outdated posts. ALL my post are outdated anyway.

Photobucket

I've been pretty addicted to the live band and beer at Paulaner's; singers sing pretty well and Munich Dark being 2nd to Hoeggarden is an added bonus. Met up with the bros one fine night, pretty last minute but at least most of them turned up! It was an awesome catch up, though all of us kinda had our own probs but managed to share! Not sure bout' them, but I definitely felt a thousand times better.

Headed to Gallery at St James aftermath. Probably a much better place to chill rather then downstairs. We practically gawked at the people downstairs and suddenly it occurred to me how stupid I'd look to others at Gallery when I'm downstairs and drunk.

Small eh's grand entrance! Free woofer system, in-built. According to Dinesh... Haha! Laughed till sides split with em' bickering around. And Mazzy's treat to Hotdawgs downstairs!

Photobucket

***

Been busy these days, and will be even busier running to and fro hospitals the next few weeks to come. Not that I mind, but I just pray Mum and Sis will be given a clean bill after all these shit! Projs are peaking in no time, followed by exams.. before my journey finally ends.

Crossing my fingers that I'd have space to breath.

Love,
Fanni

From the old Labyrinth to the current PJ, this place hold tons of memories. Been a regular there for a good 4 years now and it's pretty saddening that business just have to cease. Hope I'll be able to find another place like this that feels like home!
The last night there was awesome.

Was initially alone with Andy having the favorite Courvoisier when Bay and gang joined us. Managed to psycho them into getting another bottle instead of beer.

Actually I'm quite baffled by my own action sometimes. Quote Kavan,"U know that there's a pride of lions out there and yet you still chose to go."
Ought to really change for I don't wanna cry over split milk man. Am considered rather fortunate to always have people sending me back, making sure that Im safe at the end of the day and all, but I don't think this would last forever.
Gotta start learnin' how to take care of myself!
I admit, sometimes I really do drink too much.

So goodbye now, to the PJ I've always loved. This is the part I hate most about life I reckon.
Having to say goodbye, and start all over again.

★ Overwhelmed ★

So I'm comfortably seated on my chair, usin' my 7 years old pet desktop blogging. I'm normally seated on the floor or on the bed usin' the lappy. It's been almost 6 months since I switched on this desktop of mine and everything still seem to be workin' as good as new. Was given this desktop by Sissy.. Oh wells! One man's loss is another man's gain. :)

Anyway!

That aside, finally submitted the first assignment of this last semester earlier on. Everything seems to be gathering pace and steam this sem man, honestly. But rest assured, for I'll leave no stone unturned and do all that I can to (at least) get through this sem and scram outta school.. and never go back again. Am all ready for the last battle.
animal smileys

Found some really amusing pictures in this com and decided to share it.. I almost busted my guts chuckling!
Photobucket

I remember this! Was studyin' when Small eh msged me, and I have absolutely no idea at all, wth she was saying! "U can log me up then you will up the lorry.. I use bisa card and swap ur ass.. " HAHAHAHA!! I totally laugh as I type now man. My beloved Small eh - she does and says the weirdest thing. So Lewen, if you think AI am funny, check out Jasmine Michelle Chew. :)

Then I found some Bkk pics the last time I went with Wati. Those were the days! We could just wander around the streets at night, eat roadside 20 Baht noodle soup, make friends with stall vendors and basically just making ourselves really really at home there. Thing is, this is only doable with Wati. Love her so.

Photobucket

Hmm, the more I look through the albums, the more I hesitate to post it up. So much bittersweet memories.. The people who have since left my life permanently, temporarily.. people who's still in my life.. and then.. and then suddenly Im lost for words.

But if I had a wish, just one wish, I'd wish my Scientist could come back to us soon.
Because the walk from the bus stop to home everyday fills me in with gushes of nostalgia.
I'd stare at the same place all over again and reenact in my mind times we hung out and the silliest things we do.

But wishes don't usually come true.
So.. till the day Mr. Scientist comes back home and make interesting discoveries..
I'll continue waiting.

P.S. I really do miss you. As usual, wish u were here!
P.P.S. PJ's finally ceasing business this weekend. Patronized that place for almost 4 years now. Gonna miss it really bad. All good things come to an end?

★ Salad Days ★

P.S.
Tryin' my best to clear all outstanding entries and pictures so this post should be dated some 2-3 weeks ago.

Photobucket

Tavistock Park makes up a huge percentile of my salad days! Or rather.. swings per se. I can totally remember how my babysitter used to tote me to my favourite playground with the old wooden swings, merry-go-round and see-saw. It was all still on sand years ago, but much have changed now and no longer can I find sandy playgrounds.
Anyone knows where?

Just 3 cans for the night.
Err... a can each I meant.

Actually had alot more nice pictures, but poor Mr Xu lost his iPhone and all the pictures disappeared into thin air. But it's alright! Cuz we can always go back again.. it's less then a ten minutes walk away from my crib.
Hurhur.

It's a Sunday mornin' at work now, and I'm expectin' a lil' more calls then usual cuz tonight's the actual Parade day. Good thing am scheduled to work till 5pm, not too bad. Gotta rush through my individual assignment today.. Started pretty late, no thanks to lazy bones.

Wish I could be off the grid at times, but this is life really.. Oh no, correction - This is the life of a pathetic Singaporean. And I reckon 90% of us follow the norms and conventions here.
Which is a pretty sad thing.
But.. What to do?

Oh and Uncle John just made me recite the Singapore Pledge, twice.

★ The land of smiles
Photobucket
Left for Bkk for the 3rd time in 2 years last week, a rather good 5 days break away from the stressful home land. Tickets + Hotel costed us less then 250SGD, total expenditure.. A grand. When it comes to budget holidays, I take the cake!


Day 1

Arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport in the noon as our flight got delayed. Grabbed a posh cab back to the usual Baiyoke. The weather was insanely scorching hot!
Photobucket

Went to do some grocery shopping after check in while waitin' for the guys to arrive at our hotel.
Bought necessities, some food, beers for the night, and milk for the day!

Photobucket

Everything in Bkk is still the same. The air, the crowd, the people, the food. Almost instantaneously, my mind rewound back to the days where me and Wati were there together. It's really a pity she couldn't tag along this time round.
scuba diving

Got changed and met up with the birthday boys outside the hotel! Bought a cake to surprise them.. And man oh man, it really isn't easy buyin' a cake in Bkk! They have super limited cake shops.

Photobucket

Then it was dinner at some random restaurant a Tuk-tuk brought us to. Honestly, I was quite skeptical when the tuk-tuk offered to bring us to "good-and-cheap" seafood cuz it's not like I haven't been cheated before. Once bitten, twice shy! But the guys were rather adamant on followin' the uncle cuz they were really hungry so.. I kept the 2nd warnin' to myself and followed suit.

PhotobucketPhotobucket


The food was fresh, tons of people servin' us and their service was undeniably suberb. BUT we were crazily overcharged at over 5 grand for a not-so-sumptious dinner. Good thing I didn't have to pay! In my mind I was thinkin', "I told cha so..."
scuba diving

After dinner, Eric didn't waste no time and suggested to head down Hollywood, but ended up at RCA. Highly recommended by Lewen - Slim Bar, which was awesome! :)

Photobucket

Poor Ed had to cross over to rent a pair of sneakers to get into the club cuz no slippers allowed! It was hilarious cuz he has Obsessive Compulsive Behavior (Cleanliness), and yet have to share a pair of sneakers with I dunno how many strangers. Don't wanna imagine that.
LOL.

PhotobucketPhotobucket

Love the music in Slim, they actually play Trance thru' out the night! I was so hyper though I had only a few glasses to drink. The entire bottle was almost finished by the 3 alcoholics.
And ya, if you think I'm an alcoholic, you should've seen them drink!

Clubs in Bkk closes pretty early, so we got back to our hotel upon closure and continued with the rest of the beer while the drunk Ed immediately concussed, followed by Yvonne. Surprisin' thing about this trip's that I didn't really drink much.. A glass or 2, and my mouth is sealed.
dog products

Photobucket

Finished all 4 bottles, and it's the end of the day for us.

Day 2

Got up pretty early the next day for breakfast, and I assume all of them suffered from major hangover cuz they all looked quite dead. Was so glad I didn't drink much.. felt as energetic as a bull! Plus breakfast overseeing scenic view of the favorite capital equates to happiness.

Photobucket

After breakfast, checked into Amari Watergate which was just opposite Baiyoke. A much, much better hotel in terms of service, room condition and all.

What instrument is that anyway?

Headed for lunch thereafter at Platinum Mall, followed by some shopping. Had to shop alone most of the time cuz they other 3 weren't interested in shopping. Shopping alone rocks! You don't have to worry bout' others waitin' for you, you don't have to wait for each other, you just grab and go.
Mad awesome.

Photobucket

This time, I brought them for a real, sumptuous dinner. Showed them what's 'cheap-and-good'! Wahaha, and truly.. they all agreed that the food was much much better then the fancy restaurant we went on day 1. Most imptly, we ordered soooo much but the price was 5 times cheaper.
My treat! Wahaha~

Photobucket

Had Tomyum soup twice a day every single day I was in Bkk.. and yup - Had to run to the loo 2 times a day as well. I've weak tummy that can't really take spicy food, but the sourness of the soup just dances on my tastebud. Couldn't stop at all la!

Photobucket

Headed to Pratunum centre night market and continued shoppin' before goin' back to the hotel. 3 of them K.O-ed cuz they were too tired from the previous night.

Day 3

Brought them to MBK, but I refused to spend a single cent there cuz their items were all overpriced. Can easily get them less than half their price at many other markets the locals shop at.
Did our nails and massages though.

Had awesome Pad Thai for lunch! Delish.

Photobucket

Chose a really simple design for my nails, bought super spicy drumlets from KFC back to hotel.

Photobucket

The guys then went to meet up with their friends for some 'guy-fun' while we headed to the pool and Jacuzzi. Shiokness cuz we had the huge and beautiful Jacuzzi all to ourselves!

Photobucket

Brought Von to Suen lum for dinner aftermath, and met up with Poo! Wati! She's still workin' there U know! Was soooo happy when I saw her and she hasn't changed a bit. Immediately got us our Hoeegarden and arranged a table for us. :)

Photobucket

Used to go to Suen lum almost everyday whenever I visit Bkk with Wati. This place holds memories I will never erase.. :)

PhotobucketPhotobucket

Lazy to elaborate any further, but I forgotten my camara on Day 3 and 4.
We headed to Chaktuchak and Von gave up after 2 hours, the guys gave up after 1. So... poor me have to drag my feet back to the hotel reluctantly.
Wati and me used to shop from openin' till closin' there! It feels so different this time round. :(

The loots at the end of the trip. Spent the first 3 days searchin' high and low for gifts to bring back, and some random stuff that friends requested for me to help them buy. On the last day, shopped at the market and platinum mall for solely my own stuffs and managed to grab quite abit.

Photobucket

Had the last meal at the airport and I tasted the BEST Tomyum soup of all! Love it to the bits.
And then it was time to bid goodbye.

Photobucket

Till next year..

★ Pignic under the stars

Photobucket

Day before I left for Bkk, the quadruplets headed for a little picnic under the stars! Weather was breezy, food fabulous, everything was simply awesome! :)

On the way to des-des-des-desssss-ti-na-tion unknown known known known..

Photobucket

Grand entrance of Smurfie! Reckon he missed Coco. Wahaha~

Photobucket

Transformation of Mr Xu. Formal.. to casual! Mr. Nice fetched us all straight from work and didn't have time to head home for a change of appropriate attire.

Photobucket

Fooooood!!! We were all starvin' like hell by 9ish, but had to keep the tummy empty. Small one spent an afternoon whippin' up the best meal of all time for us, minus the sushi. Prawns, sausages, honey chicken, black pepper chicken dices, nicely packed sandwiches.. *Slurps* Filled ourselves silly, and the madness begun. The couple were as mad as a badger!

Started early, ended early. But it was an uber fun night nonetheless. :)
Thing is, we could finally laugh freely in the open air!
Should have more of such sessions.. totally kills stress cell!

★ Self-reflection... not.

It started with readin' Mama's blog.. And no Mama, I don't mind that pic.. It's nice isn't it! Love how it speaks of a thousand words, and the biggest of all - Tranquility. :)

So .. been missin' for quite awhile here, mainly stemmin' from sluggish bones and .. partially, busy painting the town red.
And perhaps I've 'painted too much an area of town', kinda received quite alot of comments on the way I live my life.

But... It's my life, no?
Sometimes, I think having fun is merely a law unto yourself, regardless it being overboard or not.
How do you define overboard anyway?
Many have commented on how frivolous I've been all this while, but really, am I?
Perhaps this is why I hate commitments.. havin' to report here and there, everywhere.

The weirdest thing about this entire issue is that, even people Im not commited to is flaring up at me when they have absolutely no rights to do so.
If you wanna worry about me, DON'T flare up at me.
Especially when YOU ARE MY NOTHING.
*rolls eye till they almost drop*

As Mama mentioned, "At every stage of our lives, we have something different to look forward to…"

And my life, the life that I am leadin' now, is precisely what I look forward to everyday!
So much that if I were to change something about my life, it would be nothing.
Freedom, and the liberty to do whatever I deem happifies me, is actually pretty important to me.

Am aged 22 this year, what am I suppose to do?
Get married, have have babies?
Start a family?
Stay in crib everyday?

Maybe that's the lifestyle of someone else's, but definitely not mine and people have got to accept that.
There are girls out there far worst than me.

There is, to me, another stage of life I look forward to in time to come (with Mama & Kejia as my role models), but not now.
I know how whimsical I can get at times, but that's just me.

Am I selfish?
You bet.

But again, U live for no one but urself.
When it comes to staying happy and optimistic, I can be very selfish at times.
Becuz who's gonna be there when ur down?
Ultimately, you deal with your own problems becuz ppl are just too busy with their own lives.

I have alot in mind recently, and ya.. I'm very confused.
Alas.
I know this will pass and I'm still trying very hard to keep up with my cheery self.

*Heaves a sigh of relief*
I feel better now after speed-typing everything on my mind.

These days, only 3 people have got the ability to crack me up and put a smile accross my soon-to-be-listless face. No prize for guessing it right.. but, it is actually quite obvious if you've been reading my twitdates. Hurhur~

1001 pictures to be loaded when I get home tonight.
Stay tuned!

Love,
Fanni
P.S. Leavin' on a jetplane in 2 days time, to the land of smiles. :)

★ Listless Wednesday night

Probably the routine that I had the past 2 months or so left me feelin' rather empty tonight. It's quiet, tranquil and all.. Err, I can't seem to explain. It's like part of me feel relaxed, but part of me, uneasy that I'm actually home on a Wednesday night.

Photobucket

I'll get used to it soon enough.
Really wanna blog further, but my eyes are shuttin'.
Gonna turn in real soon.

Have an awesome Wednesday, whoever you are partyin' out there!
It's sweet dreams to me now. :)

Blog tmr,
Fanni
P.S. Perhaps people should try walking a mile in my shoes.
It really isn't easy.
It takes time to change, even Rome wasn't built in a day.
Till one day someone's worth my effort, perhaps I will change.
But definitely not now.

How Can Someone Who Lives in Insane Luxury Be a Star in Today's World?

I'm so inspired.. again.
It's truly a thought provoking article sent to me by my ex-boss, Suj.
As I read on to the last sentence, my hair stood up, and I almost shouted "YES!" so loudly, everyone in the office would have probably stared at me.
Which is why I thanked God I didn't.

But in my heart, I secretly thought, "Agreed."

For many years Ben Stein has written a bi-weekly column called 'Monday Night At Morton's.' (Morton's is a famous chain of Steakhouses known to be frequented by movie stars and famous people from around the globe.) Now, Ben is terminating the column to move on to other things in his life. Reading his final column is worth a few minutes of your time, zhen de.

Ben Stein's Last Column:
How Can Someone Who Lives in Insane Luxury Be a Star in Today's World?

As I begin to write this, I 'slug' it, as we writers say, which means I put a heading on top of the document to identify it. This heading is 'eonline FINAL,' and it gives me a shiver to write it. I have been doing this column for so long that I cannot even recall when I started. I loved writing this column so much for so long I came to believe it would never end.

It worked well for a long time, but gradually, my changing as a person and the world's change have over-taken it . On a small scale, Morton's, while better than ever, no longer attracts as many stars as it used to. It still brings in the rich people in droves and definitely some stars. I saw Samuel L. Jackson there a few days ago, and we had a nice visit, and right before that, I saw and had a splendid talk with Warren Beatty in an elevator, in which we agreed that Splendor in the Grass was a super movie. But Morton's is not the star galaxy it once was, though it probably will be again.

Beyond that, a bigger change has happened.. I no longer think Hollywood stars are terribly important. They are uniformly pleasant, friendly people, and they treat me better than I deserve to be treated. But a man or woman who makes a huge wage for memorizing lines and reciting them in front of a camera is no longer my idea of a shining star we should all look up to.

How can a man or woman who makes an eight-figure wage and lives in insane luxury really be a star in today's world, if by a 'star' we mean someone bright and powerful and attractive as a role model ? Real stars are not riding around in the backs of limousines or in Porsches or getting trained in yoga or Pilates and eating only raw fruit while they have Vietnamese girls do their nails..

They can be interesting, nice people, but they are not heroes to me any longer. A real star is the soldier of the 4th Infantry Division who poked his head into a hole on a farm near Tikrit, Iraq. He could have been met by a bomb or a hail of AK-47 bullets. Instead, he faced an abject Saddam Hussein and the gratitude of all of the decent people of the world.

A real star is the U.S. Soldier who was sent to disarm a bomb next to a road north of Baghdad. He approached it, and the bomb went off and killed him.. A real star, the kind who haunts my memory night and day, is the U.S. Soldier in Baghdad who saw a little girl playing with a piece of unexploded ordnance on a street near where he was guarding a station. He pushed her aside and threw himself on it just as it exploded. He left a family desolate in California and a little girl alive in Baghdad.

The stars who deserve media attention are not the ones who have lavish weddings on TV but the ones who patrol the streets of Mosul even after two of their buddies were murdered and their bodies battered and stripped for the sin of trying to protect Iraqis from terrorists.

We put couples with incomes of $100 million a year on the covers of our magazines.. The noncoms and officers who barely scrape by on military pay but stand on guard in Afghanistan and Iraq and on ships and in submarines and near the Arctic Circle are anonymous as they live and die.

I am no longer comfortable being a part of the system that has such poor values, and I do not want to perpetuate those values by pretending that who is eating at Morton's is a big subject.

There are plenty of other stars in the American firmament...the policemen and women who go off on patrol in South Central and have no idea if they will return alive; the orderlies and paramedics who bring in people who have been in terrible accidents and prepare them for surgery; the teachers and nurses who throw their whole spirits into caring for autistic children; the kind men and women who work in hospices and in cancer wards.

Think of each and every fireman who was running up the stairs at the World Trade Center as the towers began to collapse. Now you have my idea of a real hero.

I came to realize that life lived to help others is the only one that matters This is my highest and best use as a human. I can put it another way. Years ago, I realized I could never be as great an actor as Olivier or as good a comic as Steve Martin or Martin Mull or Fred Willard--or as good an economist as Samuelson or Friedman or as good a writer as Fitzgerald. Or even remotely close to any of them.

But, I could be a devoted father to my son, husband to my wife and, above all, a good son to the parents who had done so much for me. This came to be my main task in life. I did it moderately well with my son, pretty well with my wife and well indeed with my parents (with my sister's help). I cared for and paid attention to them in their declining years. I stayed with my father as he got sick, went into extremis and then into a coma and then entered immortality with my sister and me reading him the Psalms.

This was the only point at which my life touched the lives of the soldiers in Iraq or the firefighters in New York. I came to realize that life lived to help others is the only one that matters and that it is my duty, in return for the lavish life God has devolved upon me, to help others He has placed in my path. This is my highest and best use as a human.

Faith is not believing that God can. It is knowing that God will.

-By Ben Stein.

The article left me pondering about the life I had and have, since the day I was born till now and all. I have alot to say really, but make it tonight cuz I'm kinda buried at work now. Today's callers are all pretty nasty, sad to say. :(

Ba back tonight,
Fanni
P.S. One more day to Bear's return. So much to tell him!!

Alcoholicious

I seriously lack slumber.
2 consecutive days of drinkin' and 2 to 4 hours of sleep per day really is no fun.
Enjoyed the process totally, but dreading the outcome.. Ironic isn't it.

Today's post will be filled with atrocious english and random thoughts with mixed up paragraph.
Not enough sleep is liddat one ley.

Was at Boozer on a Friday night, the place was sure packed with boozing ghosts lurkin' around. Happening seh! Oh and I brought Coco out to meet Smurfie and friends! Muahaha~ Now Coco has a friend to pray with, Big Head!

Photobucket
Photobucket

The effects on my cam mode is awesome lah.
The guys were pretty much camwhores as well.. I like it. Wahaha~

Photobucket
Photobucket

Everyone loves Coco..
But Coco was being a meanie that night!
Got myself pretty drunk cuz of him.
Have decided to quarantine him for a month.

Photobucket

Gan created a game out of Coco and cards, man.. he is sure innovative.

PhotobucketPhotobucket

After this, K.O-ed!
Smurfie sent me home and I think he had a really hard time.
But he was soooo nice la.
KeKeKe.
He spent half the time jogging my memory but failed to a large extent.
Neh mind.
No more next time!

Concussed at 6, got up at 930 for work.
That makes 3 hours of slp with a hungover, wrecked body.

Next day, YR and Small eh picked me up from work, intended to only chill out.. but the guys were craving for Thai babes. Went over to Icon, then Geographer, then settled at Nana. Which is awesome cuz number 1, ur allowed to smoke in there! So old school.. And it felt weird actually. But in a nice way.

As usual, I was dressed super down cuz I didn't intend to head out .. but.. Argh.
Both Smurfie and I intended to go back early at 11 or 12, but ended up?
I dunno what to say. Wahaha!
Once he starts, he can't stop!

Smurfie was sooo curious 'bout the 'capturing-of-lights' mode.
Or whatever you call that really.
Hurrrr.

It was Martell again.
*pukepukepuke*

Photobucket

Hotties shakin' their booties.
And we pray 5-10 liddis.

Photobucket

Was supposed to be a 'relac-the-liver' night cuz the day before, everyone had alot.. but.. First bottle cleared, then came the 2nd.. 2nd bottle cleared, then Alan signaled Smurfie for the 3rd bottle.

Ma de, thought want to go home at 11+ 12?!
*shakes head*

Photobucket
Photobucket

Uncle Kenny came over to fetch me home, went Tavistock for a little while before I got home at 6am. Showered, changed and sat on the bed. Closed my eyes and intended to rest for 30 mins, then take a bus to work.. BUT I missed the alarm.

Darn.

So I'm late for 2 hours today.
I pray that bitch won't come and kp into my ears again.
Darn darn darn.

Ok Im really groggy now.
Be back... veli veli soon.

Alcoholic supersonic,
Fanni

It's LV once again.

Hello babies, bloggin' from the office right now.
Reckon I'll do up a little update here since I've got an hour more to go before Boozer beckons.
Hurhur.

One of the random days, we popped over to Lavvie's for another round of night swim session, except that this time, none of us went into the pool. It looked a tad yellowish that night, prolly cuz of the heavy downpour before, I dunno. But just being by the the pool itself, we had a ripper of time. :)

And oh! That's my Coco baby in green.. We all love him!

Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket

We were all totally 'lok kok' that night, so ah... pardon us, okieeeee.
But who really cares 'bout fashion when laughters were all around anyways.
The madly crazy vids we took sent us straight into chains of never-ending shrieks of chuckle, which, by the way, is only restricted to friend's view only. (in FB)
If not later I famous like Tammy how. :P

LV is the new black now man, yo.
Hurr.

Oh and both me and Small one tried Buah Kerluak, or however u spell that, for the firstoe time! It really has an acquired taste that you can never seem to describe nor explain in words.
It wasn't awful, but neither was it tasty.
It was just.... edible?
Haha, can't believe Lav could down 10 of them at a go!

Gimme beer la, beer I can. Muahahaha~
scuba diving in Belize

Anyway thanks for the wonderful Peranakan dinner Lewen!
We totally enjoyed it.. though we don't really know how to appreciate your fav dish, but the curry was sure good! :)

Small eh ended off the night with "The next time I come, I definately want to swim!"
Then to Boozer we went.
And truly, the next time we pop by LV, we're all gonna be into the pool instead of by.
Right you two?!
confused smileys

***

First week of school's over now, and everything seem to be very much falling in place already.
Tuning my life back into the monotonous one has never been an easy task, but nonetheless, an inevitable one as well.

Also, it's tremendously tough trying to find the perfect groupmate to work with this sem. So, kind and brave sister here advertised for my whole group in front of the lecture theatre.


So how ah?
U all hamsome hamsome one hor, want to join hor, just come up to any of us okie?
Mai shy.
Hor.

The mean reds.

You know those days when you get the mean reds?
Not like the blues.
No.
The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long, you're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of.

Do you ever get that feeling?

P.S. Wanna find a day this week, coop myself up at home and watch my fav movie once again. Oh and plus Kate and Leopold cuz Jackman baby's too hard to resist.
P.P.S. I will update really really soon, promise.
P.P.P.S. Although Twitter is makin' a blog so darn redundent. Close this down?

Smurfs make me smile.

I am sleepy.
Utterly utterly sleepy.
Its so extreme, like ytd night I was so hyper, so energetic, so full of vigor and now.. Nothing but a mere dead fish. -.-

I ish tired man, really.
Ran all the way from Gardens to Attica then to the usual St James in my V lok kok spag, shorts and slippers. Realized I'm getting from bad to worse when it comes to dressing up for clubs.
Thank God for Mazzy lar, always don't have to Queue, don't have to worry bout' not havin' a table, don't have to worry 'bout not bringin' IC, don't have to worry bout' dress sense.

Omg.
I totally just woke up from a 2 hours nap.
Zzz so darn sleepy.
Anyway, updates on the awesome Wednesday night.

Small eh tested out random functions on my camara.
Artistique baby.

Photobucket

Headed over to Boozer for... some booze. Hurhur puny shit.
Was Boozer's first birthday as well!
It was soooo packed in there.. BUT.
Everyone certainly had great fun.

Photobucket

Girly wurly affair... Not!
Guys were busy drinking and challenging each other.. but ultimately pulled in for snaps.
Introducing.. The cutest cutest Smurf of the day!
He totally made me soooo darn happy the whole night cuz he was acting so cute!
Totally dunno how to put it into words.
Just cute la!

Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket

Then to Dfly we went aftermath!
How energetic.
Hurrrrrr.

Photobucket

Then it was all the stupid jumpshots outside the club.
Mazzy is sooooo darn funny lar!!
See how lok kok we all were. Lol.

Photobucket

Ended off the night at Dfly, met up with CW and gang.
So many familiar faces that night!

Photobucket

Too bad Smurfie couldn't follow us to Fly, if not I think I won't be able to fall asleep.
He's just like my dose of Redbull.
Wahahaha~

Damn sian.
School's resuming as of tmr and Im treading between the word dreading and expecting.
Dread cuz my boring lifestyle reigns again, and expecting cuz it's the last sem and I cannot wait to just end it.
Alas, 2 months of holidays.. it's actually enough.

I'm ready to fight the last battle.
See you all, BBMKGs!

Love,
Fanni
P.S. Not gonna play hooky anymore, it's serious business this sem.. Do, or die baby.
P.P.S. I so enjoy chattin' with Smurf cuz Smurf is just too darn funny! Lol

My fav girls.

Last few days, Wati called me once she arrived back in Sg. I was so excited!! Cuz I miss my Wati whom I haven't seen in the longest time. We were suppose to hang out often this holiday for coffee and all, but due to unforeseen circumstances, she had to go back to home country.

The day was wayyy awesome spent with her!
Brunched in at Crystal Jade before heading to Breekos to chill away the warm afternoon.

Photobucket

Headed to PJ aftermath, when it's not even open!
But Andy saw us sitting outside like some poor lingering souls so he opened the lounge early for us, thank George.

Sista joined us later, then Kenny and co. All God of gamblers!

Photobucket

This was the day we were all stopped by TPs at the junction.
Nerve-wrecking cuz Kenny drank quite alot!
Thank God they allowed him to pass the breathalyzer test.

I is faint-hearted, no more next time!

Next day, met up with Small eh and beloved Wati for transformers, which was pretty sucky.. Too draggy, too kiddish, too cartoonish and I totally felt like I was watching a 2.5 hours long cartoon. It was so draggy, Small eh kept fidgeting around and making funny comments and laughin' in the threatre. Heng not much ppl!

Lunched at Nihon Mura.
Had slices of Salmon like no one's business cuz it's buffet and it's the all-time favourite!
Me love salmon.

Photobucket

Then it was treats for the sweets!

Photobucket

Ben 'n' Jerry's ice-cream lovin'. Tribute to MJ was playin' in the Sccoper's lounge. So sad uh.

Photobucket
Photobucket

Then PJ as usual.

Photobucket

Had a gas of time with both of em'.. The laughters, heart-to-heart and honestly, just hanging around them makes me feel really happy already. These are the kind of friends you'd wanna have. :)

Am having one more outdated blogpost to publish, but am lazy to do so!
Although it could easily be one of my fav entry cuz got Smurfie~ Wahaha will reveal soon!
Tmr perhaps.
Im off for now!

TGIF ah everyone!

Lovelove.




Tuesday, June 30, 2009, 10:45 AM
The last 5 days.

Hello everyone!
Just got back from an awesome day out with my fav girls!
Err namely Wati and my beloved Small eh.
It was only 1030pm when we left PJ so.. U all can go ahead and give us a pat on our backs. :)

But thats for tmr cuz for now, outdated pictures due before ppl start to say I slow in updating uh.. Heh~

The night before at Boozer with Small eh and co. My poor small one was so worn out, she became totally retarded to all my jokes. But still, it was helleuva time!

Photobucket

Headed to Boilers to look for Kenny and co. aftermath. Most of em' were already 3 sheets to the wind when I got there at 3-ish. It was a funny sight though.. and ya, I still enjoy seeing ppl high/drunk now. It can be really hilarious!

Photobucket

They left at 4 ish and the rest of us headed to Dfly to continue the mornight away. But up till then, alcohol intake was still uber minimal. But still nobody believe I wanna turn over a new leaf! Why!? free image hosting

Photobucket

Night could be summarized with a single word - Marvelous. :)

The last 5 days to the end of my holidays and Im so cherishing every moment of it.
Totally made full use of this 1.5 months break, where friendships were brought closer, lessons were learned and most importantly, I truuuuly enjoyed myself.
Can't say that I manage to really spend time with myself, cuz most of the time I'm out.. But really, it was a whale of a time.

I thank God for havin' so so so many wonderful friends around me! Love you all to the bits bits bits! sara campbell

Sleepyland soon!
Be back tmr, Good night bloggerworld.

Love,
Fanni

P.S. Err.. A still tongue keeps a wise head so, when one do not know much about a certain someone, I think its best to keep comments to oneself. But really, I can't stop mouths from blabbering, can I? Just rmb, I is no perfect girl.. and comments from ppl who don't matter to me, are all water off a duck's back. :)
P.P.S. Follow me at www.twitter.com/fanniliciouz ! Just signed up for the SMS service and it's awesome cuz foremost, it's FREE! Follow me! :)

Twenty-two

I am MAD furious.
With nobody but my-fucking-self.
Why am I always so darn blur and forgetfool!?
Why can't I just have the memory of anyone else's?

This is so sucky I tell you, and I really feel like killin' myself. Fuckkkkkkk.
*blabbers all the vulgarities in the world*

Woke up reluctantly this mornin' for work, and upon reachin'.. realized I'm in the afternoon shift instead. My colleague asked, "I thought mornin' is John? What you doin' here so early?" I immediately gave her the diving face. This is the 3rd time that's happenin' and this bloody character of mine, is chappin' my ass to the max really. I tried doin' something about it, but why does it all seem useless?

Major foam at the mouth!

I need to go for a brain surgery implant or something.
I either lose things on a monthly basis, or go to work at the wrong timing, or basically just get real paranoid over losin'/forgetting something when it's actually held tight in my hands.
Really crazy.

Was abode on a Friday night cuz I thought I'd be in the mornin' shift the next day, plus the fact that I gotta nurse my fever and sore throat. Wanted so badly to join Small eh and gang at Nana, but I resisted doin' so. Should I have remembered clearly that I'm in PM shift the next day, I would've joined them last night!

Then my Friday would feel like a Friday.
No thanks George, that it was Friday.

Sighs.
I'm dismayed, and I resign to fate.
cool smileys

Since I'm gonna have 3 or 4 hours of free time on hand, thought I'd do up a long entry to keeeel time. Oh, and comfort myself by recitin' "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy wealthy and wise".

Birthday Eve @ LV pool-side, 21st June 2009


I never wanna get drunk on my birthday, so it almost equate to either dinner or doin' something else. It was a really simple celebration over 3 days, but the eve was spent night swimmin'.
Birthdays are gettin' seemingly monotonous as a candle adds on to the cake.

Lewen testin' out her camara mode, all my tak glam shots. Zzz

Photobucket

Finally found the right mode to use! The color true to actual lighting.
Ahh... Serenity.

Photobucket

Stillness of the pool water + the humidity of the night made us darn gian to just jump into the pool straight after a mouthful or two of beer.
And so we did.
Heh.

Photobucket

Night swimmin with Lavvie equates to major love!
But I totally lost all the stamina I had.. Not that I have alot though.
I never was/am an athletic, and I abhor workin' out.
The only sport I do is probably only swimmin'.

We were playin' ard in the pool when we almost forgot the timing!
Lav was bein' darn hyper, and kept askin' if it's 12am yet.
And when the clock finally hit 12, she dug out something from her pouch..

"See what I got!? I brought you candles for the dead again!!"

I totally laughed till my sides hurt!
She quickly lit up the candle and I jumped around while we sang the birthday song~
Made a realistic wish, blew out the candle, camwhored as I mumbled, "Can't believe I'm 22!"

PhotobucketPhotobucket

Then came in lotsa text messages and phonecalls which I so appreciate and ♥!!
Thank you all!
Started tellin' everyone who called how Lav brought me a candle for the dead twice in a row!
The superstitious ones were pretty concern, but no worries cuz I don't have such beliefs so it naturally becomes a joke for both Lav and I. :P

Kenny & CW came over to look for us later into the night, chatted for awhile before he sent me home.
And upon reachin' home at 2ish, Small eh called and she was super high on alcohol!
Came over with 6 more bots of beer and we went back to Lav's again.
-.-

She was hungry, so I had to cook maggi noodles.. which was pretty sucky.
All of em' complained that it was tasteless!
But looks good what right.
Wurhurhur.
See how high this small one is!
Haiyo!

Photobucket

After 'supper', back to pool-side till 6am before callin' a mornin'.
Had a really good chat with the 2 of them.
:)

Photobucket

Wanna thank you all who dropped me messages in FB, MSN, text messages, and especially to those who called.
Thanks for the cake, ang bao, present and most importantly, the fact that you guys actually remembered my birth date!
But of cuz, majorly thanks to my mum that I was brought to this earth.. to bring joy and sorrow to everyone around me!

Last week of holiday next week, it saddens me.
Can't believe 2 months just passed me by like that.
Will make fool use of the last 7 days before the start of my very last mile begins.
Gotta enjoy yourselves when you're still full of piss and vinegar ma, correct anot? :P

Have an awesome Saturday you all!
Love.

Officially twenty-two,
Fanni

Aaaaaawesome Wednesday!

Ytd night was really really great!
Started off at Brewerkz for dinner .. ♥ their beers to the max!
And what made the night a bonus point's that amidst the entire month of dog days, the weather was surprisingly chilly, totally puuurrrfect for Beerbellying, no doubt.

Uncle Kenny ordered a huge pan of wood-burnin' pizza which tastes cheesily good, but too bad we couldn't finish it. Not the same for Beer though. Hurhur~
Left 2 hours later .. to Timbre @ the art's house!
Cuz I was in the mood for live bandish miuseck. :)

Their live band wasn't too bad, but their peeeeza was.. omg.
I was already filled quite to the brim but Uncle Kenny insisted that their peeza is not to be missed.
I secretly suspect he has a huge penchant for peezas. :P
But well, no regrets cuz it was major yumyumz I tell u!
Unlike the usual pizzas, they used crust (I think) rather than bread and thick dough.
We had roasted duck.

Mad deeeliciose~
My George, beer + tapas + demon weed = Who cares about health already man! lol
The weird thing bout' ytd night was that we kept feelin' that it was too early to be home.
Brewerkz till 10 plus, Timbre till 12 odd and still, it was like way early to even be home.

So... brought him here.

That poor guy hasnt' been to this part of the island. lol
So we were chattin' bout everything under the moon, and particularly bout how Fly is actually infested with night club girls and all, and in a sense.. is a rather messed-up place. To think I never did realize that, naively thinking that its purely a place for sole entertainment. Guess Im usually too busy with my drinks, I don't exactly observe what's going on around me. :P
Am always wonderin' wassup with these girls really.
You have hands and legs, least to say a pretty face, why resort to this?
If there's really a lesson to learn in life - Never sell your birthright for a mess of pottage.
Period.
:)

Woakays got to run for my dinner breakie now.
Will be back tonight when Im home today!
Stayin' in tonight cuz tmr, we're gonna rock One Fullerton upside down.
*winks*
Major love u all,
Fanni
P.S. I may be really playful, but at least, I know which way the winds blow. :)

Uncle Kenny!

Must listen - Very nice!


浪漫如果变成了牵绊
我愿为你选择回到孤单
缠绵如果变成了锁链
抛开诺言

有一种爱叫做放手
为爱放弃天长地久

为了你 失去你
狠心扮演伤害你
为了你 离开你
永远不分的离去

Sometimes, some things are just not meant to be, and I should just let it go.

Saturday lovin' ♥

Good mornin' Sunshine!
Zzz.
I sound so energetic here but honestly, I is worn out.
2 consecutive days of partehing and sleepin' at 6am in the mornin' made me a really grouchyyy girl in the day.

But aiya.
I asked for it la so pls, Fanni Ding.. shut the hiao up.

Lunar + BQ ytd night was really happenin' with all the bar top dancin' and live band, & plus a few high to the max men surroundin' me makin' me laugh like mad, I pronounce my Saturday evening well spent. Soooo proud of myself!

Will load pictures soon.

For now, I needa grab my prinkles, sit down, munch n stare into the com, and wait as the clock slowly ticks to 2100. God I'm so sleeeeepy.

Bbl.

Love you all,
Fanni
P.S. Hi, my name is Fanni and I've been sober for the past 12 days.
P.P.S.


Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one, I still got the seed

You said move on, where do I go?
I guess second best is all I will know

'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your eyes

You're the best, and yes, I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now, now the lesson's learned
I touched it, I was burned
Oh, I think you should know!

Oh, won't you walk through?
And bust in the door and take me away?
Oh, no more mistakes
'Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay, stay

The clubbing scene

Wednesday night, the usual PH + fly aftermath.
Think I'm a lil' sick of that place, I missed PJ dearly.. Gonna go back soon!
And once again, limits were closely observed.. Darn sober though it was 6am in the morning.
It was hilarious seeing drunk ppl though, heh.
Photobucket
I'm also from council - The transparent council, LOL~

So.
I am inspired once again, to blog about the evolving clubbin' scene throughout my adolescent years while staring at girls dancing on the podium on Wednesday with Small one. We totally just sat there, stared, laughed, gossiped and drank.

It was all good. :)

Year 1997, it used to be...
Hahaha no la just jooooking.. if I really started off in 1997 I would've died by now.
K, lets rewind back into the past.. Am tryin' my best to dig into my brains and some past pictures.

At 14 years old
It was still Boatquay, where my Sissy brought me .. where small lil' 'clubs' reign the entire streets. It was all about memorizing the entire IC of someone else's. People (like me) would have grabbed every chance to be up on the podium as much as possible. If not, it was basically dancing in front of mirrors the entire night, like a bloody kukubird. And becuz I was underage, I'd always panic whenever police operations were on, had to run down and out all the way from the backdoor, which suck really. But I think at that point of time, I thought it was fun. And I club only once in a blue moon.

Amount of drinks consumed on an average night: 1/10
Sobriety level: 10/10
Favourite genre of music: I is tetno siao!

Manage to find this one and only picture of 2002. Haha~ Omg u all better dont laugh!


15 years old
'Upgraded' to M.sultan, which pretty much shares the same concept as BQ. All the Club 3 and Club 7 and all (omg sounds so...).. Drinks were free flow, and the bartender would place tons of glass on the counter, fill it all up with alcohol and girls would just grab it off. I rmb it used to be only vodka. And after drinks, me and Kitty would run up all the way to the podium. Police operations and me were still at odds, Haha~ At that point of time, I still drink very little cuz all we wanted to do was to dance. Started to club once or twice a month..

Amount of drinks consumed on an average night: 4/10
Sobriety level: 9/10
Favourite genre of music: Still very much a tetno siao!

And this one and only picture left.. the rest is gone with the wind.


16 years old
Went to Sparks for the first time, and the last. I used to hope so much for the arrival of my 16th birthday cuz I wanted to witness big clubs desperately. But to my disappointment, I didn't go back there after the first visit. I really forgot why, but that place really suck balls. I don't remember even drinking at all. Eventually, returned to M.Sultan.

Amount of drinks consumed on an average night: 6/10
Sobriety level: 9/10
Favourite genre of music: Still very much a tetno siao!

17 years old
Mixture of everything! But we frequent Music underground and Coco Latte more at that time, I think. And here's an old school picture I dug out. Haha~ Last time cam phone resolution suck hor. Some more this one night mode hurhur. Club at least once a week.

Outside Angels I think..


In Coco latte which I missed dearly~
Photobucket

On the way to M.Sultan and aiyo, I look/dress/pose horribly.
Photobucket

Outside/Inside Newsroom Bar
Photobucket

Amount of drinks consumed on an average night: 8/10
Sobriety level: 5/10
Favourite genre of music: RnB + Tetno siao!

18 years old
Chinablack days.
Started to Jook.

Opposite Black, at Mac.
Photobucket

Amount of drinks consumed on an average night: 8/10
Sobriety level: 5/10
Favourite genre of music: RnB + detesting Tetno!

19 onwards, quite a mix of everything.. Though the genre of music preference differed.. Am actually more into trance now rather then RnB. And no longer will I ever go up to the podium and make a fool out of myself anymore. Haha~ Alcohol level wise, definitely increased largely. It's mostly all about hard liquor and wine now when in the past, it was cocktails/shots and house pours.

Amount of drinks consumed on an average night could easily be 10/10 and sobriety level easily 1/10. Haha.

So now you all know why I got short term memory.
I'm so gonna change, I promise!

And one last thing:
Guys who rain on my parade by fighting halfway throughout havin' fun is not cool, at all.
Don't understand why they always think they look cool when they fight/quarrel.
Sighs, guys.
Yeah.

Am gonna nappytime now.
Be back when I'm inspired again.
Hurhur.

Good afternight u all,
Fanni

Bitchology

I am inspired.

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch.
Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart. It means I live my life MY way.
It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.

When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined as a
bitch.
The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish.
It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I 'should' be.

I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!

So try to stomp on me, just try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me.
You won't succeed.

And if that makes me a bitch ,so be it.
I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.

And FYI,

B - Babe
I - In
T - Total
C - Control of
H - Herself

B = Beautiful
I = Intelligent
T = Talented
C = Charming
H = Hell of a Woman

B = Beautiful
I = Individual
T = That
C = Can
H = Handle 'anything'

Love from,
The BITCH!

P.S. Introducing my recent lurrrrvve.
"Every night, when I play a show, I pick one girl and I kiss her. I’ve kissed about 50 and I’m not worried about swine flu. Or herpes.”

She's mad chio and is truly a fashion setter in a sense.
Totally dig her dress sense, any Katy Perry inspired blogshops to recommend?!
P.P.S. Down with flu! Sooooo wrong time. :( Can't wait to see my little 2 angels later on though.

Arena baby

Friday night, Arena with the usual peeps.
And yes, this was the night I truly witnessed drunkards and realized how irritating one can be when drunk. (Read: Me)

Hands up, I totally surrender to those who've endured with my shits before.
The countless, countless, countless of yous and I promise not to get drunk anymore!
You all don't laugh ah, at least I try! :P

Totally had plain water and green tea the entire night other then the 1 or 2 glasses of alcohol.. Some pictures kay siao one. Haha~
Never been this sober before in the club and it feels totally goooooood, man.

On a party overload

A little leaarning is a dangerous thing, least to say... No learning at all! So the 3 of us, gong gong dai dai tried to bake a cake that non of us have tried baking before. It wasn't that much of a success, but nonetheless I reckon it's the process that counts. We totally had all the fun in the world! :)

So for the ingredients, you'll need to prepare...
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • few grains of nutmeg
  • 1 egg, well beaten
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries,
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • whipped cream
  • 3 wonderfool bakers
  • 1 handsome golden retriever
  • and all the mood you need
Start the ball rollin'!

Photobucket

While waitin' for the cake to be baked in the oven, decided to camwhore.. And Lewen suddenly grabbed whatever that came into her sight, threw it to us and "Quick, take peeektureeeee!!!!!!" Thus the pictures actually turned out to be rather unsightly.. Who the hell would pose with Baygon and kitchen accesorries man ?

Photobucket

And finally, the end product. Everything was supposedly quite smooth till Randy stirred the whip cream in the opposite direction and spoilt the entire bowl of it! We had no choice but to go to the nearest provision shop and get cans of substitute whip creams.. which turned out to be.. not so tasty after all. But the cake surely looked good, don't it?

Lewen did yet another funny thing. She whipped out one candle.. for the dead! Haha thank God we're not superstitious.

The June babies - 6th Randy, 9th Lavvie, 22nd Fanni!

Photobucket

Totally the first time bakin' a cake for my own birthday, but oh wells, I didn't really do much apart from greasing, washin' up and.. eating. Shh, don't tell them. :P

Wanted to take a shower initially, but Lavvie was rushing for time so.. Being all sweaty, sticky and dirty, headed to PJ aftermath. Ewwww.

Photobucket
Photobucket

Met Steph over there surprisingly! She've changed sooo much I couldn't recognize her till she called out to me. Was a good catch up though! :) And poor Mr Tan was so darn tired, he fell asleep right there. Totally like the second home. *shakes head*

***

Weds night, headed to Powerhouse as usual. Events of what happened that night shall be kept in Pandora's box.. Bottomeline - I told myself never to get into this situation ever again cuz it SSSUUUCCKSSSS!

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

It was a fun none nevertheless. :)

***

Friday night, Arena till 3am, Dragonfly till 6am. Pictures soon!
And sister very proud cuz I totally had plain water + green tea the entire night.
Whaahaha!

Ok gotta go, I'll be back tonight again.
See chu!

Love,
Fanni

Holidays are the bomb.

Good mornin' Bloggerworld!
It really feels great turnin' in and gettin' up early isn't it?
Totally beats wakin' up to tinges of alcohol still runnin' in the blood and breathe I say.
Still, I
♥ alcohol.
*whistles*

Was havin' a car-ride's chat with Bear ytd evenin' on our way for dinner when it suddenly dawned on me how fast holidays have been passing me by.

Me: How long has it been since my holidays started ah?
Bear: At least like 3 weeks to a month alr..
Me: Gosh! Really got so long meh? OmGeorge means for the past 3 weeks to a month I've been partying and drinking almost every other day leh! *pretends to faint*
Bear: ... don't say alr la. *sighs*
Me: BUT I deserve it what! *humph*
Bear: *sighs* x 2!

Teeheehee.
Party time sure happens at full tilt don't they.
But I surely had fun, painting the town red the whole time and especially with all the lovely company, how can I not have fun? :)
The remaning month of holidays, approximately another 3 to 4 weeks I reckon, would be (hopefully) devoted to doin' much more meaningfool stuffs which I erm, apparently haven't thought of much as yet. But less drinkin', more talkin' - that's for sure.

Oh and in the midst of chatting ytd night, I nearly laughed till I died!
We were talkin' 'bout the amount of face masks I ordered the other time when he said:

Bear: I don't think you should order so much.. can reuse one what. Tonight you put on ur face, then tmr u flip over and use again lor.
Me: U crazy ah.
Bear: No what.. Go green.
Me: Siao. *was pretty hungry and grouchy so I kinda like ignored his supposedly funny 'joke'*
Bear: Go green, save lady gaga.
Me: *looks at him*
Bear: What? Really lor, go green and save lady gaga!
Me: GAIA LA DEY!!!!!! *burst out laughin like no one's business!!!!*

And then I started to sing Poker face the whole night and he was uuuuber irritated!!
HAHAHAHA Omg that's totally my Bear for u.
:P

Alrighty got to go prepare now!
The June babies are headin' over to Lav's for some crazy bakin' session.
Gosh and I just realized it's Monday now.
Where're those blues man?
*chuckles*

Love,
Fanni
P.S. My birthday month, don't bully me ah I tell u!
