shopping with my mum is rather fun, and scary.
not because of the amount that we had spent, but how much she (we, actually) value customer service. dont give us a bad experience, else... ..

marina bay south has a good eating place called Pier Eleven. nice view. especially when there is fireworks (due to national day preview)
the food is really nice. supposedly a 'fusion' of all the different styles of food.. but oh well, i seem to only see western. hahaha! but oh yeah, i love the appetizers, the thing shown in the long dish in the picture.. [ok i know my VGA phone camera sucks.] yummmy. okay iM bad at names, even for food, so i've actually forgotten the name. it taste like liver.. but its not. its damn soft and nice. ohoh and the potato salad is another appetizer.. thumbs up. that chaoda-looking thingy there is acutally lamb meat. but well, doesnt taste as nice as the appetizers. next time go there just for appetizer and desset will do. but overall a nice place with nice ambience. yeP. that's it, nothing more than that to add =)

i wonder whether i'll still get card(s) and call(s) on my birthday when iM at the age of 50+.
happy birthday to my mummy! heard her happily chatting away on the phone some moments ago. its really sweet that her collegues/friends had bossomed and lasted such a long way, and even though they seldom, almost never, contacted each other for an entire year, they will still remember each other birthdays, and send either cards or give each other calls. when each of us has started work, how many can actually still maintain that? and even much less to speak, to ask you out to celebrate your birthday?
coincidentally, today is also my 阴历生日. happy birthday to myself once again. the same time last week, on the 20072007, i was having a mini celebration in my house. a third of the people i had invited did not / could not turn up. Although i couldnt, i just gotta accept that some people choose not to come with reasons like (a) dont wanna go coz dunno many people there (b) want to be alone coz feeling down (c) just didnt wanna come. yes, one entire group of my friends just did that. of course I couldn'd and wouldn't sound to them my disappointment. what to do, especially when i bumped into them while they were happily shopping outside just some days ago. the words i use may sound depressive, but i've looked past that, so no worries my dear friends. at least i know who are those who treasure me.
not to say any of you are to be blamed if you cant make it. i know some really have 不得已的情况.. though i must say that i really really appreciated those who made an effort to squibble their way to find my house.
yuE. hohoho u're the first to reach.. but damn paiseh that i hadnt had time to accompany you much. i know i know you muz be really bored and prolly feeling rather out of place since most of our usual company cant make it. felt really bad ..
pearL. iM really grateful that you made your way over even though u break camp only earlier that day and even had to (rush over) from your tuition home before coming. you must be really tired! thank you dearie
debz. even though u were overseas, you did a card for yue and I before you left. well it reached me just in the right time! and i really love your card!
kok. hahaha, my dear girl wanted to come at 4+ but ended up to be there only around late 7+pm? but its really sweet for you to come despite the chances of you being stuck there alone =/ well, it must have been boring for you and tan as from what i see /..\ sorryyy
ta grace hil. i really really appreciated you 3 for coming. and esply grace at late 9+pm after her work. 谢谢
zY. my busy photographer (who still has no time to upload pics) ! hahaha! i really appreciate your free service. doesnt sound to nice, but yeah =) your professional help is just what a princess needs =D
oN. this is a difficult person to invite out, and iM really glad that he made a trip down even though he (and yW) had something on later that night. thank you - to both (if you can see/feel this though. haha)
jas. if it gotta leak out, let me be the one saying that im sorry i had forgotten to ask her. am glad that she could make it even though it was a last min extend of invitation . arr oops. ok now, sssh.
xuaN. thank you girL for the lovely clock you got from me from italy. nevermind that it may be a taboo, its too nice for me to say anything against it. i simply love it. thank youu!
yeP, guess what, i received 2 sets of vouchers that night. lol. frankly speaking i really dont know what to spend on. but i must spend it. shit. someone help me. hahaha!
yesyes, i didnt invite alot of people. i hadnt asked any of my uni groups of friends (definitely not because iM not close with them) but because i want (and know i will get, horhor) an even better celeb with them. =D as for the rest of my friends, you may not have been with me for my birthday celeb, but we can still celebrate out! okok. remembered how i told a friend that iM not the type to 特地 call up another person to say that its my bday and i wanna celeb, when he found out that i missed him out during my mini celeb. loL. true, but i will hint. hahahah! no lah, its not really me to 特地 call anyone up, unless... nah.
anyway, now that my exam (singular) is over, i'm effectively left with 1 week to enjoy. 1 week with too much to do. i want to shop. i want to K. I need to move in and clean my hostel. i need to find emcee and settle my cca stuff. i need to read up some things. i need to pack my room and wardobe. i need to.. aww, realise i put my want in front of my need? ahhh! ooops hehehe.
so much to do with only 1 week left. and i have meeting tomorrow! ahh. what a beautiful sat afternoon morning and afternoon to be spent in school. argh. time time. wait for me yeah. i still wanna go out with my friends! shouldnt holiday be for that? to catch up, relax, and enjoy.
yes enjoy, i still wanna enjoy my student life.. i actually do not wish to graduate so soon, though honestly speaking i still cant imagine myself in my supposed field of work. butbut, the graduation ceremony that i attended today had quite gotten me into the mood. though this is the first convo i have ever been to, i do know quite afew seniors who are in this graduating batch. its really sweet how friends are willing to come specially for you to celebrate With you. how many of many friends will do it for me if i were to ask for them to come during my convo? 2 years down the road, do i have someone to celebrate with? flowers? sweet thoughts? only 2 more years down the road.. ...

小叮噹
The below got me cracking. got it from a friend's blog..
Fact #1 - Fears & Ears
小叮噹 originally had ears but they were bitten off by a robot mouse back in the 22nd century. As a result, he has morbid fear of mice.
Fact #2 - From Yellow to Blue
It was revealed that 小叮噹’s original paint color was yellow. After getting his ears gnawed off by the robot mouse, he slipped into depression on top of a tower, where he drank a potion with a label having letters that resembled “sadness”. As he cried for a long time, the yellow color washed off and his voice changed due to the potion.
Fact #3 - Vital Stats
小叮噹 weighs 129.3kg and his height is 129.3cm. He was manufactured on September 3, 2112, at the Matsushiba Robot Factory.
Fact #4 - Endings?
There are 3 urban legends to the ending of 小叮噹.
Ending #1
小叮噹 battery power ran out, and 大雄 was given a choice between replacing the battery inside a frozen 小叮噹, which would cause it to reset and lose all memory, or await a competent robotics technician who would be able to resurrect 小叮噹 one day. 大雄 swore that very day to work hard in school, graduate with honours, and become that robotics technician. He successfully resurrected 小叮噹 in the future as a robotics professor, became successful as an AI developer, and lived happily ever after, thus relieving his progeny of the financial burdens that caused 小叮噹 to be sent to his space-time in the first place.Ending #2
大雄 is suffering from autism and that all the characters (including 小叮噹) are simply fictional characters in his imagination. The idea that 大雄 was a sick and dying little boy who imagined the entire series on his sickbed to help him ease his pain and depression.Ending #3
大雄 fell and hit his head on a rock. He fell into deep coma, and eventually into a semi-vegetative state. To raise money for an operation to save 大雄, 小叮噹 sold all his tools and devices in his four-dimensional pocket. However, the operation failed. 小叮噹 sold all his tools except for one used for the last resort. He used it to enable 大雄 to go wherever he wanted, whichever time era he wished to go. In the end, the very place 大雄 wanted to go is heaven…
It was reported that the original author Fujiko F. died in 1996 before any decisions were reached, any “endings” of 小叮噹 are fan fiction. However, it is apparent from many episodes and movies that in the end 大雄 does marry 静宜, leads a happy life and separates with 小叮噹, although 大雄 and his friends fondly remember him.

Lifestory
"Wake up," she said,
"Look its a beautiful day."
Downstairs to the kitchen door,
and then away..
Into the light,
morning moves the world on.
Morning passes the time,
and morning is gone
Born today some years ago,
and had a happy childhood
Then i fell in love and out,
so nothing's changed
Lived a life that saw me grow
into someone i hope is good,
and yet without a doubt,
i'm still the same...
It's just my Life, Story,
minute by second a story
That goes on forever
with each breath that i take,
this is my Life, Story,
celebrating my story
with smiles, and tears, and friends,
and birthday cakes...
"Get up," she said,
"Hurry, or you might be late."
Everyday we hurry off
to keep our dates.
Time rushes by,
there's no time to ask why
Still, we work to beat the clock,
to never stop for goodbyes...
Maybe i should stop awhile,
to see the world around me
Discover how some things move on,
and some things never change
Ever since i was a child,
i'd felt that life is funny
It'll twist and turn, from dusk to dawn
yet stay the same...
It's just my Lifestory,
minute by second a story
That goes on forever
with each breath that i take,
this is my Lifestory,
celebrating my story
with smiles, and tears, and friends,
and birthday cakes...
So, my Lifestory is self-explanatory
Won't you please start from page one,
and do go on,
till i am done....
this year's ndp looks interesting.. will be held on floats wor~! ahh. sounds damn exciting lah . 
I like the song "There's No Place I'd Rather Be" by kit chan.. damn bombastic lah. it can be legally downloaded from this ndp site. sweet. But oh well, it doesnt have the song that i pasted up above. but i have the song! (as can be heard from the background.) ahhh! so descriptive of this current moment .. ... .

Good Guys are the Ones who...
a quote of something i read from someone's bloggie.
good guys are the ones who fetch you home or accompany your car to make sure you're safe after a late night out and then only drive away once you have locked everything up, waved goodbye and closed the door.
good guys are also the ones who can't fetch you home or accompany your car to make sure you're safe after a late night out, so they give you an sms or a call (extra points for this one) to check you're alright when you get home.
but what makes them great is the knowledge that they would do the same for anyone else.
recently been going on a change in Lifestyle. I know it will work out just fine =)
rather busy in contacting people who doesnt respond to my efforts. argh. angry. wait.. OK! i will not be angry. cannot be angry. =DD (haix)
so in the meanwhile in my not-very-interesting-life-at-this-moment, i got alittle itchy-handed and went to google myself. okay, sounds stupid ar, but hey!, its through this that i 'found myself' in a place where i shouldn't be. for what reason am i appearing there? argH* this is so not appropriate when there is an account of me but not belonging to me X.X did some site(s) sell off my email? argH* someone unravel this please. *scratches head*

Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year
White and bright colors (especially in backgrounds) can use up to 20% more power than black or dark colors.
Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year
an all white web page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts. Google gets about 200 million queries a day. That means Google is running for about 550,000 hours every day on some desktop. The shift to a black background will save a total of 15 (74-59) watts. That turns into a global savings of 3000 Megawatt-hours a year. At 10 cents a kilowatt-hour, that’s $75,000.
check that out.

七月七日晴 - 许慧欣
说了再见是否就能不再想念
说了抱歉是否就能理解一切
眼泪代替你亲吻我的脸
我的世界忽然漫天白雪
拇指之间还残留你的昨天
一片一片怎么听见完全
七月七日晴忽然下起了大雪
不敢睁开眼 希望是我的幻觉
我站在地球边 眼睁睁看着雪
覆盖你来的那条街
七月七日晴黑夜忽然变白天
我失去知觉 看着相爱的极限
我望着地平线 天空无际无边
听不见你导演

iM so sad , that i got such low marks for today's quiz.
iM so saD , that i will eventually have to take biz law alone.
iM soOo sad.
was on skype call just now, and my grpmate was comforting me.
oh well, not bad, at least i dont feel like S/U-ing anymore. but iM still disappointed.
haix
4 hours before 070707
phew, one stone off my mountain of worries. today's quiz was ok. at least better than term1's paper that i've tried. and at least iM sure i've got 1 correct : Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for impairment loss. wohoo! (^.^)v ~ that's a twizz, btw.
lately, i've been stressed by this thing called Accounting. yes please do not remind me, i know its the holidays now. the thing on my A-list has gotten me so tangled that my sleepless nights are back. sleepless in the sense of having to take a lonngggg time to fall asleep. like yesterday, i took 1 hour to fall asleep when i could have continued to mug through the night. haix. that's a result of having too much stuff running through my mind.
tomorrow is 07.07.07. anything nice to look forward to? humpF.
oh yeah, goodie good good that i've finally claimed the webcam that iM supposed to have gotten in Feb. that was for the sign up of wirelessSG. cool. now my skype is finally complete with all the necessary 'gadgets'. but oOops, i only have 10 contacts, and none are active ones. wonderfuL. loL~
Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away

Happy 21st Birthday yuE ~!
all of a sudden, iM overwhelmed with this feeling of guilt. one of my kid whom i had given my contact to sent me a bye² mms 3 times because i clarified that i couldnt always sms back some of the messages that i felt need not be sent to me. it is a mistake in the first place. being a first timer, i was too soft. a goodbye is not needed, i'll be there if my kids really need external help, but if a message is already perceived that way, i guess, well, i guess it would be better not to reply /..\
Fireworks are pretty but shortlived. its memories can be captured on screen, just as how memories of your lifestory can be. Today is the 21st birthday of a friend who has been with me for more than half my life. The times we laughed together, played together in each other's (mostly your) house, bake cookies and cake, share similar interest (guZ, remember?), sang K, played majong, went shopping, and shared our joys and woes. In every section of our individual life, we have different groups of friends whom we contact and relate more to. Although the roles we play in each other's life changes from time to time, iM really pleased that our friendship has not dwindled a single bit. As we move on to begin a new chapter in life (mine soon as well), iM sure we'll pick up even more memories and further strengthen our friendship. I'll always be here whenever you need a shoulder to rest on, of course, to all my other friends as well.
It is not the number of years, or even months, that counts in rating the stand of a friendship, it is the consideration of whether the person is there for you when you needed a push or to rest against. or even more, are you there for your friend?
recently have been quite perplexed by some stuff. got me thinking for quite some while, and got no concrete help even when i consulted a friend.. hahaha! even though brain activities encourages more formation of neuro-connections.. but.. hahaha! oh well, energy should be conserved =P i guess i should be putting more energy on accounting. nah, 6 days a week is not enough >.<
Time flies. Soon soon, it will be very soon.
