late updates on the past hectic week..

well...wanted to continue this post after my previous one...but was too tired to continue. after came back from taiwan...i was totally packed with activities till i can't even meet up my galz for dinner. didn't realli plan much for ly's bdae coz she's got her dasao to help. lucky for that coz its not a good time for me. so sorrie ly~

last sat went to eddie's bdae at his place after work...had a little bbq food with all his cute doggies running ard. haha played playstation to keep myself awake...& then started our mahjong session. started ard 3+am.. & ended 7+. my energy was drained out...didn't sleep at all. not even a nap b4 starting work. realli wanted to sleep but no place & time. somemore had to change oil...& when i spilled...got so pek chek! think i was so moody coz lack of sleep. but coffee realli helped.. it works for me! =) family dinner was good...coz its been ages since i last saw them.

mon met ah neo in town then went for ny's inter-outlet captains ball match. didn't practice much so i was kinda scared. didn't have shoes coz thought i was "on the chair". but last min realise we short of pple...derrick had to catcher. luckily he was...coz he's a much better catcher than me...i've got butter fingers. haha he lah...shout so much...add pressure on me in the 1st game. i am not a gd player...so i'm already freaking out. sorrie for not smiling...but i was realli too stressed-out. after that was okie...coz i realised my team mates were good...so i juz try my best to "help out" ba. thx to ash for his shoes...& thx to his shoes for biting me. some misunderstanding between 2 outlets. not clear who's 1st...both had their sides of the story. ignorance is not an excuse...and sportsmanship is impt which i think some dun have. speaking of which...i hate pple with no respect for others. pUi! poor ash...had such a heavy responsibility & ended up termed as being biased...which i noe he is definitely NOT! it juz so happened that his outlet was involved. anyway...the results were decided mutually with the referee. how i wish some pple would accept their mistakes & not be so "all-out-to-win". its juz a friendly game anyway...didn't have to be so rough. haiz. so after that went back to holland to have a big feast...as its our tradition. later..our hands were itchy again...so mahjong again!

tue worked full shift...realli need the $$ to fund for 21st bdae presents. & now our pay onli comes at the end of the month...so i'm damn broke! haiz. guess wat...tue nite mahjong again. oh manz...juz so gian. but maybe it was a sign to stop...coz practically didn't "hu" until the 14th time. izzit true if u're tired...can't play well? coz maybe i wasn't realli concentrating. & also...we juz found out tue nite that bowling...which we thought was next mon...turned out to be the next dAy! i had to make last min changes...couldn't spend the nite with my galz on wed le.

wed was a mad rush...met ying & mich to buy leong's present...then met my 3 galz to buy ly's present. i feel so bad for squeezing time & bye-ing so fast. sighz. after that pia to bowling alley for the bowling inter-outlet league. guess we were on form...1st 2 games went very well...but the last game buang. glad that we won 1st in bowling again...but i wasn't very happie though. coz the last game was realli so damn lousy for me. anywayz...overall hv got 2nd...which is a record-breaker! we've alwayz stood in 3rd overall...& now 2nd...wOoO hoOo! =D had kfc for dinner b4 our ktv session. hahaha from 10+pm till 5am...i think we sang until no more songs to sing le.

thurs worked opening...kinda slack. ying, mich & neo came my place at nite to prepare leong's present...hope she likes it! so yesterdae was full shift for me...another dae to earn $$. not veri busy though. last min went to play pool after work...which i was half asleep. i was dozing off while watching others play. so pai seh! think i looked like an idiot then. hahaha finally had a long long sleep todae....gotta go make my way to ly's bdae! so excitied! her theme: Dots. finally we galz can meet up again for a stayover! yeah! tmr is leong's bdae...another whole dae party...wonder wat's gona be the nite plan...kekekeke so fUn! llalalallalalaa

i'm back!!!

actualli i was back last fridae...but have been too busy to blog. hmm...overall taiwan was great! afternoon under the scorching sun...& fantastic nite life. something i wish s'pore had. hahah roads wider & more complicated...too much things to see in onli 5 daes. but i guess we managed to go according to plan...with most daes rushing ard. hahaha this is gona be a long long post...so get ready....

Day 1: departure from changi airport. all excited to leave s'pore!
1st time flying with jetstar...not bad! pilot spoke with an accent...abit chim. haha the window seat was the best. was enjoying the take-offs & landing...& admiring all the different types of clouds in the sky. i can stare at clouds for hours....coz the fluffs of clouds had different shapes and patterns which was juz truely beautiful to awe at. i was starting to imagine how nice it will be to be an angel living in cloud castle in heaven. i felt like i was in heaven...full of thick fluffy chouds. i was hoping to see a rainbow...but didn't see any.

(pic on the right) : look at how the fluffy cloud is like popping thru' another thin layer of clouds. so nice rit

e! and so...besides staring out the window...we played taidi thru'out the rest of the journey there. i was too excited to sleep ba.

<-- this is the topview of taiwan! lots of rural land...but we went the the urban taipei. full of colour & life....so many neon advertisements along every road...every street & every alley.

stayed at rainbow hotel which was at the centre of xi men ding. great hotel...good location & service. spend the 1st dae walking nearby to familiarise ourselves. tried the packet papaya milk from 7-11 which was yummy! heard its the next best popular...after bubble tea. btw...we had lotsa bubble te

a there & their pearls are so chewy! hahah there were so many of these machines ---------------->
& we got so addicted to it coz of the wide variety of toys u can try ur luck to catch! at the end of the trip...i ended up with quite a few...which were so cute! keke ate at the nearby xiao fan dian...and had ice kachang for dessert. we could choose from so many ingredients! yUmMy! tried the smelly toufu...which i now can say for sure that i hate it! heard that taiwan's version is nicer...my frens seem to enjoy it...but i simply dunno how to appreciate. enough for me...at least i've tried. hahah

Day 2: woke up early...went yang ming shan. was a tiring day coz machiam jungle tracking to go see the waterfall & hotspring. hot weather made us all the more wiped out...4eva looking forward to the air-con bus ride which took us ard the huge mountain. i was so glad when we left...coz a little mountain trekking was enough for me. i'm not the adventurous jungle-trekking type. hahah next made our way to shilin nite mkt. ate the no.1 super extra large XXXL chic chop! its the best. so big &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; juicy & crispy! =P~
subsequent daes we ate chic chop at other places too...but they were not as nice...got bone so

memore. actualli spore's version is not bad too. well...i was shocked that the shilin makan place is like a sheltered hawker centre. extremely big area. i expected it to be a long stretch along a street... keke anywayz...we tried out so many types of delicacies! (this is the good thing abt having a big grp..can share). haha there's so much stuff we can't find in s'pore...eat until we peNgZ. haha

look at the sausages! so long rite! got a shock manz...hahah btw...the white ones are actualli like glutinous rice...keke

yah...of course we were shopping like siao ard shilin area...b4 & after our makan spree. haha stayed until late...so had to take taxi back...which was not very exp.

Day 3: since we've took bus & taxi already....we tried the mrt! somewhat the same...onli that there was a

more open feeling coz no other door between the train's door & u. went to sunyatsen memorial hall...and then to taipei 101. took many pics. didn't go all the way up 101 coz had to pay. we were all running low on cash...& wanted to keep it for the next 2 daes. heard that wu fen pu nite mkt was a good place to shop...but we were all so darn disappointed with that place. maybe we thought so highly of it...& expected so much out of it. but seriously...such a let down. super packed with shops..alley after alley. with so many directions u can walk. but mostly sell similar stuff...& hardly allowed trying. none of us bought anything coz we thought it was nothing compared to shilin. so we went to another nite mkt nearby which was much better. head back to hotel to get ready for clubbing! went to Carnegies which was playing r&b. didn't realli feel like taiwan coz there were many foreigners. suprisingly many angmohs. but it was still fun...coz got to see many "bar-top dancers". both good & bad ones. hahaha

Day4: was hard waking up after so many late nites...but the thought of going to xiao ren guo (small pple world)...pushed us all out of bed. it was a veri interesting place...coz all the structures are smaller than us. we were like giants there.

it was amazing how detailed and precise all the stru

ctures were built on a miniature scale. i felt like i've travelled round the world juz by going there. coz there's structures from taiwan, asia, europe, china, etc. so so so many types! camera went flat...so gotta wait for fren's photos. there was a carnival...roller coasters and amusement park there. took a fast-spinning ride & merry-go-round (aka carousel)! can spend a whole dae but didn't have the time. if onli we knew there were so much stuff! i realli wanted to sit the super high roller coaster! but it was a wet ride...& we didn't bring our swimming stuff. like a mini wild wild wet there u noe! oh manz. we were kinda running out of time too. so after travelling round the world in 3-4 hrs...went back to the city to find mala steamboat. took quite some time to find one...& it was soOoo spicy! but it was realli good. then rushed to take ferris wheel as it was getting late! i saw the lighted ferris wheel....so magnificant! if onli my camera had batt...i would have taken. & nobody took the whole shot of it! so wasteD~ piangz...it was damn nice. had a nice 17min ride in the wheel...the fantastic high view was something i'll rarely get to see. how i wish the ride was much longer. hahah went back to rest in our cosy hotel. btw...their tv has 100+ channels leh~ oh manz...sHiOk! so every nite we were watching tv b4 going to bed at 3+am hahaha

Day 5: final dae we slept longer. spent the day doing last min shopping and finding their speciality foodstuff. veri rush...and had to catch the evening flight. almost couldn't stuff everything into my luggage....haha took these pics on the way to taiwan airport...last few glimps of taiwan b4 i leave. full of chinese words which i struggled to read.

no idea where is this place...juz happen to notice these small huts built on a mountain. looked so cute...& i'm glad that i caught a shot of it.

also this road sign...in chinese! even their stop sign...also in chinese. 1st time see so much chinese all over the place....& somemore its fan ti zhi...not jian ti. i think if i stay there longer...my chinese sure improve alot! haha i came back to s'pore feeling more "chinarised". waha

haha

our return flight was evening thru' nite.... so we caught the sunset. orangy sky. look at the close-up pic...the clouds actualli formed shapes of animals. can u see a horse? so nice rite! thats y i like clouds... like how i like stars... skies... rainbows... waterfalls...fireworks. i juz can't stop taking picz.

the whole flight was accompanied by taidi again. arriving back in s'pore ard midnite. i was tempted to buy alcohol from the duty-free store....but didn't. now i think i should have coz its so cheap! wat a waste. anyway...i didn't have much cash left. hahah spent so much!!! oh manz. but worth it...coz bought so many things...for myself & for pple. & most imptly...tried so many unique food! too short a trip....but realli an un4gettable one. =)

off to taiwan....

hmm...fridae didn't go chiong in the end. next time ba. not a suitable dae to chiong. its not that i'm addicted to chionging...its juz that coincidentally different grps of frenz jio me go chiong...thats y i seem to be going every week. juz like going to bdaes every week. hahaha although clubs are smoky...its also a nice place to hangout with frenz + nice music. so yah...clubbing is not onli for notti girls alright. =P anyway...after that met ny pple to "le pak" (relax or chill out...in malay...i think) at mc cafe keke with many lizards keeping us company on the walls. eEEe...hahaha sat worked full...& it was so boring! little crowd for whole dae. but whole cakes were almost all out by closing...which is rare. haha wanted to watch thank you for smoking...but turns out the newpaper printed the movie listing wrongly! how can rite? yeah...realli did. oh manz...so disappointing! haiz...not gona trust the timings there anymore ba. better to make phonecalls. so end up watching mistress of spices...bollywood actress was so pretty. it was alright lah...not as bad as i thought. kinda magical somehow. hahaha

finally had a long nice sleep todae...woke up at 3+pm w/o disturbance! haha quickly packed my stuff for my trip. so excited! gona see wat taiwan is like...since i seldom go overseas...gona take this chance as an eye-opener. my mum is so worried...coz its my 1st time going realli far with my frenz. previously was only boat to bintan...and that was not very far from home. 1st time taking plane w/o them...kinda scared also. luckily the typoon went away...my mum is more at ease now. she's continually warning me...& telling me to be careful. felt her warmth & concern...hope she don't worry too much. i'll be fine! i'm a big girl now...hahaha take careZ u all! i'll be back veri soon...! miss me a little...dun miss me too much. wahahaHAa =P

sorrie for my busy schedule...

last fri went to fish&co at the glass house for kor's bdae...so nice. friendly staff. guess the surprise cake was not much of a success....& turns out that i ordered a lousy cake. tiramisu..but didn't taste like it at all! so creamy...arGh! more like creamisu cake..if there's such a thing. should have asked the rest for opinions b4 ordering. haiz. anyway...after that went to watch re-cycle...which i didn't realli want to. but kor's bdae...guess i can't say no? it was kinda scary in the start...but alright after that. struggled hard not to think abt it when i got home. oh manz. think i juz can't watch horror movies at nite...b4 going home ba. if watch in the day...at least the rest of the dae can help to erase the thoughts that lingers in my mind. wahahaha

sat thought could meet up my galz...but in the end last min cancel coz some couldn't make it. hopefully this coming wed? heard its clubbing? wow! another rare chance...hope its oNz. haha anyway...ended up going home for dinner. got to see my parents! keke ate yummy chilli crab together... =P but they could onli see me a while...coz later went out to meet ah neo. she keep saying wanna watch r(a). so went to catch a midnite movie. basic instinct 2...my 1st r(a) show! actualli tix were sold out. but fate let us watch. nice storyline. chimology...but great. about this novelist who can use such seductive words and behaviour to manipulate others. twisting all thoughts around and changing perceptions...until u no longer know wat the truth realli is. well..r(a) not as obscene as i thought ba...haha bUt my nite didn't end there...went to ren's place for mahjong. played till 7+am. veri tired but no time to sleep. went for breakfast...& then to work. so we 3 zombies started work...then 2 of them even full shift. i went home for dinner b4 meeting ny pple to watch the final world cup match! went to the new safra near mt fabor...not bad leh. air con...& we got a gd seat. italy won! yeah...i guessed italy coz i preferred the flag colour~ oOpz. but their dribbling & defence were great! & buffon was superb. best keeper i've ever seen!

slept like a log...late for work 'coz overslept. had continuous prep work to do at hot side. later went to meet up jc frenz. onli 5 of us...but had a great time. sometimes big grps will end up separated...but these kinda small-grps outings are so much more cosy & comfortable. actualli i realli feel like i'm neglecting not onli my family...but many close frens of mine. realli sorrie. its work. i enjoy work...but there are times when i wish i can find replacement to join my frenz. there's alwayz blanks in the schedule...i try my best to help. its like an obligation. i noe i shouldn't feel obligated...but maybe its a sort of responsibility when in actual fact this responsibility doesn't even need to exist. or maybe unnecessary coz i'm juz a part-timer. coz with or w/o me...it'll still operate. kinda like an "ought-to-help" & "doing-them-a-favour" feeling...especially when i've worked there so long. guess its juz the way things are ard there...part-timers working like full-timers. well...i regret not helping out in foc camp...which juz ended. & now rag. not active in uni...maybe coz onli close to ah leong. think i should join them more often...i'm starting to feel detached. outingz with frenz... i realli wanna go. but i've turned down many...coz my schedule's already out. if can find replacements...i'll sure go...but the chances are low. i promise i'll alwayz try my best! realli very sorrie to those whom i want to but can't make time for. i'll improve. frenz...dUi bU Qi~!

its weird how our mind works. we know wat we want...but yet we can't make a decision to settle it. sometimes life's circumstances doesn't allow us to flow so easily. there are so many temptations...so much other choices which may cause our minds to deviate...and then makes it all difficult to get back to the right track. studies...i have deviated too far...have onli a month left to warm up my engine. although i dread it...but i certainly can't avoid it.

juz read thru' some stuff i kept...its easy for some to start anew...but difficult for others. depending on the previous endings i say. if it ended with hatred...it'll be much easier to move on ya? tested & proven. for others...it juz makes it all dreadful & afraid to commit. who is the right one for u? is he the one for u...or have u missed the right one...while u're with the wrong one? all this can be true...no one ever knows. i guess its juz depending on whether u choose to commit to that particular person. if u have chosen...then gotta live with the consequences. however...there bound to be cases where pple deviate...that's where divorces & break-ups come about. recently heard of long-term relationships ending. i'm toking abt 6-8 yrs. its terrible..but true. i guess its contentment, loyalty & fate. gotta be contented with the +ves in the person u choose...accept the -ves since nobody's perfect...and hopefully fate keeps u 2 together. i alwayz believe god is fair...realli. every flaw is compensated by a gift.

simplicity is complex. u can think simply abt certain issues but not abt others. its up to oneself...so think it thoroughly. todae felt a little absurd...when someone actualli couldn't understand y i wasn't pissed off with someone else. B is unhappy with A 'coz A was rude to C. & i was nearby...but didn't feel the least bit angry with A for toking back to C. that is when B couldn't understand y i am not angry as well. absurd? "huang miu" is wat i realli mean. dunno if "absurd" is the right translation. not that i'm not helping C...but i realli didn't feel that its such a BAD thing. i noe A is that kinda person...little childish coz still young...so juz accepted his rudeness. well...i juz felt like i was being blamed for not getting angry. *peNgZ* watever lah...i'm like that. i can put up with certain stuff...but not others. don't misjudge me or accuse me...i simply hate it. =)
