had a really unexpected belated one month bday surprise yday!:)

and can i tell you all. i have a really very big hole in my heart now. just sent a package to peru and can you believe, postage was $25.80. omg, that's like 64.5 cups of rj lemon tea 0.0 oh well. at least i managed to take a pic of how cool the package was after the stamps were pasted. the last time (i posted on my previous entry) that uk package, my cam had no more batt before she pasted all the stamps and i couldnt take, so sad. lucklly now can:) i shall post! ok im gonna stop posting packages already, or else i will have heart failure.

but the woman was quite shocked that i was sending to peru cos so far. ya it's really quite exciting. south america wah wah wah. i wanna go.

wah the last post took me few days to post. it died on me so so so many times. like almost ten. maybe more than that! luckily the 5th time i started saving it into microsoft words so i didnt have to retype. FINALLY i could. omg it took me so long. anw i just went to see my baby cousin. it's her full month party. she's so cute! but maybe i wont post pic yet cos im still scarred by the previous post.

hahaha this reminds me fondly of daijing, jerm me.

i like these 2 songs
but so different.





anyway avril lavigne sang girlfriend in 8 languages,
french,spanish, eng, italian, german, jap, dunnowhat and mandarin..
it's really quite funny/weird.

By the way, I never expected it to turn out so badly although I didn’t expect much.
You could have at least said hi?
Even a nod would be nice.

Cause I mean we used to be such perfect friends
Like I’ve never seen anyone happier to see me than you ever, not trying to be ego but really. I remembered whenever I appeared at your door, I felt so happy seeing the look on your face.
Already it’s past, but seeing your reaction this and the previous time you opened the door, I wouldn’t have believed it’s the same person.
Really we tried, even after so long, even when we’re so scared, we even brought flowers for your mum, but you closed all your doors.
I really thought we were ghosts when I saw how u looked at us. I’ve never seen anyone shut the door faster than you did.
Every night before I sleep I will walk past the mirror with the glow-in-the-dark words “you light up my life” written by you and every night after I switch off the lights, I see it lingering, I think maybe it’s time I add an “ed”.

MR BEAN and friends!!!!

wah i just came back from swimming! i really think recently i watch the channel 8 drama vcds then i always see underwater world and them diving in tioman and i watched those ocean shows last time, then when i was swimming just now i kept thinking there were sharks u know! so retarded. but i was really quite scared cos like so dark, then i nv wear contacts, then thru the goggles it was blur and like in the ocean. i really kept thinking got sharks/ spooky stuff! so in the end i took off goggles and swam with my head above water so wont have to look in. hahaha.

anw i went grandma's house just now and you see

s

my dad and grandma look so sweet. (:

last but not least,

happy 20th birthday dino!

you know i really hate touching oily stuff and making my hands oily, i dont know why my mouth doesnt feel the same as my hands do, but i really hate it yuck.
and i really want to complain, it's not that i dont like to go home for dinner but it's really argh.
1. you see i end work at like 630 then i leave at like 7? then it's always the after work jam at that time unless i leave at like after 8? so the argh 171 will jam for super long and by the time i reach home it's like 830?! so i jam for one plus hours to go home.
2. when i get home, the food is like room temperature. And it's like my parents' room temperature not the room temperature temperature. and they on air con like what 18 degrees? it's not so cold la the food but they put it in the room for like 1 hour plus till i get home so it's still very cold. esp the soup, i never ever wanna drink the soup.
3. i dont have a microwave oven. so i must eat the cold food.
4. after bathing i eat only at like almost 9? so late eat will get fatter.
5. After eating those small portions out of the few tins (i usually dont eat the fish cos cold fish is very gross and i dont drink the soup, and there are 2 tins of rice i only eat from one tin) , i have to wash all the tins! and i also never eat using 3/4 forks and 3/4 spoons then why i must wash 3/4 days worth. and got so much rubbish and must clear away newspapers. why must wash so many things. and so oily and dirty and gross.
6. I told them to just take some of everything and put in a tin then i eat from one tin and just wash one tin but they always leave everything there.
7. When i ask them to wash they will say they work whole day, i also what!
8. then i say i also what, then they say my job is temp no stress, lower pay, less responsibilities
9. so i have to bring all to the kitchen and wash until like now? and so gross. by the time already like so late, go home straight after work also cannot do anything much then bedtime already.
10. If they wash for me they will look tired then i will feel guilty and they will think i bu4 dong3 shi4, so old still dunno how to wash dishes, dunno how to help, whole day only wait for parents to do things etcetc.
11. so i tell them again to just leave me some and we wash our ownso dont have to wash so much.
12. they never. so the last person which is me has to wash again.

sigh i dont mean to complain it's not like i do a lot of household chores, maybe im pampered but it's really sian to have to wash everybody's cold tins, clear all the leftovers, touch all the oil and soap and yuck.
sorry i need to complain,
i know im fortunate already to even have food, yes yes people in africa dont even have food. okay, smack me then,
or help me wash the dishes please.

You are a life saver! Thanks!!!



wah i saved a life today at work!!!
ok, whatever myself. 630 now, CIAO! TGIT!

hello this is to my dear cf who's busy having fun in japan,

it's not the same without you:(

ilaigai miligis youlugu,

ilaigai thiligink marlargarligilitalaga tooloogoo.

(she cant decipher your farewell card!) hahahaha

and the last pic's your last time taking the escalator. boo.

i went hospital to check out my new cousin tt day,

she has same bday as me! and she's SO SWEET AND CUTE!

but she never see me before still,

cos the whole time i was there she never opened her eyes:(

i dont know what i've done to have such amazing people in my life,

thank you so so much really.

for making me so happy and blessed:)

i'll never forget,

thank you a million times!

sorry i haven been blogging, really busy with random stuff like packing my disgusting room, which i still am cos it's so messy im going crazy, i must finish packing soon it's so messy omg. but i changed new bedsheets they are so pretty! i shall post the pic next time. haha i havent had time to upload pics to my comp, really wanna post some pics up, i will really soon.

anw you know i read my mum's magazine that day it's so gross i wanna faint and my everywhere almost turned jelly. you know in some part of china, they eat like infant's meat cos they believe it will make them beautiful, youthful, healthy etc. it's super gross, they even put the pics up, after i saw n read the article i felt so jellyish you know. cos of the one-child-policy, many people in china have to resort to aborting their babies and many times they only abort at the end-stage so actually the baby's kinda formed. it's like the whole structure and bones and meat etcs all formed except the skin, so the goverenment instructs the docs to remove the baby, but they are not really bothered with how the "baby" and placenta's treated, so u know people actually buy (they said the queue is super long and like there's a waiting list?!) from the hospital the placenta and the infant and they go home and cut off the baby's meat and wrap in dumplings to eat?!?!?!?!!!!! omg so sick. i saw the pic of them slicing and etc and everything so poor thing and so gross and inhumane. the babies are all like babies but just no skin, super poor thing you know. and after they slice off some part, they will put it in a box and paste a hundred yuan note on te box, like for the baby's spirit?, then burn the box. sad right:(

i just came back from dinner with my family at this teochew restaurant which sells super super super super really super nice food. omg so niceeeeeee.

anw some pictures from since i last posted

the last one's the present we gave to boss!

anw tmr's gonna be a scary day cos we're singing this super high song in church which will break all the glass and spectacles.

and to my fellow fyq admirer, dont know if you'll see this, sad we cant meet up cos working times clash and weekend u busy, but just want to tell you i miss eel!brush.

i just read my sister's keeper by jodi picoult and it's really quite sad.
then after that yday i started reading bonny hicks autobiography it's called "excuse me, are you a model?" and you know i really agree with her sometimes. like how nothing's wrong with wanting to be with friends but it gets pathetic that you feel sad when sometimes you're alone n not around them. I think in school we're all too close to comfort i mean we're practically entitled to be with our friends at least 5 times a week. i know it's good it's a privilege it's so enjoyable such that unconsciously we're so accustomed so used to having such privileges they become part of everyday life such that contentment is harder and our wants and needs increase. because of what we once experienced we start having expectations that things will be the same. we only get happy when it is comparable or better. we become dependent, taking in the joy and love such that once it is taken away we are at a total loss. in times of trouble we turn to friends, when particular friends disappoint you you turn to other friends whom you know are still there, as such you are so used to having friends, so used to comfort and you start having expectations. yet sometimes what you expect may not be what you get and you get disappointed and actually the whole time it was just your brain playing with you, nothing happened nothing changed just you and your expectations and people living their lives the way they wanted, and their ways simply did not coincide with your plans.
maybe we should just forget what we all once had or experienced, having no expectations of people of things of circumstances of days of times and then we will realise every act and thing that comes our way will come as a surprise and we will then realise how truly fortunate we already are.

life has been quite good except for the fact that my stupid water bottle leaked in my waterproof bag so there was a pool of water for i dont know how long in my bag and my electronics are all screwed.my camera screen images are a bit shaky and weird, my mp3 cant on, my phone buttons some days cant press!!sigh. but other than tt, it's been nice. bought a new camera on sunday! so im going to post pics which i took since i bought haha so excited. i like office quite a lot despite sometimes having to do really boring work. and tmr first time delilah wont be around me since i started, no one to accompany me to work:(

anw last friday we had appreciation dinner(for helping out during dinner and dance n amazing raace) at breweks and the adults (like 10 plus pple only) ordered like 6 towers of beer, 24 litres?!! while we kids drank cranberry juice hahaha. i dont have pics of tt day cos my cam spoilt! sigh! but really nice of our office pple to invite and treat us!

and monday we went for korean food. brought jess to town! haha she goes town once/twice in a year u know.then she told me must bring her to bus stop else she'll be lost hahaha. and she looked at things that changed a million yrs ago and said wah changed so much. hahaha shes so cute.

hahaha!this picture makes me laugh la omg
